Maybe it isnt important but opera mobile stopped working after a while on r12 (it closes suddenly after running). Im not sure if it has to do with kernel but few people on polish forum had the same issue with r12 and opera. Strange thing that it only affects opera. Or maybe it has to do with latest miui which im running.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SilverMist1:
with neo17 r12 and latest miui from miuiandroid.com i can get like 36 hours of battery life with heavy usage and 50 hours with medium usage. no lag overall (except that the app fade in effect but that lags in every version and every kernel, it does not lag in adw launcher) and not a single SOD. so i can easily say that r12 is superb. by the way i am using ondemandb and bfq.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
Just flashed Neo17 r12 from Neo9 v5 and tried listening to some music. The playback is horrible, very blippy when the screen is off!

Flashed the screen state script which made it a bit better but still poor. Flashed back to Neo9 v5 again and all is good... Persumable something to do with the governers? As with both 17 r12 and 9 v5 the cpu was at 100MHz during playback.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
on neo 17r12 what governor were you using?

i for one didn`t have these bugs people are talking about,

try different governors and schedulers :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zadock:
I'm trying smartassv2 in Neo 17r12 and works fine until moment without SOD's.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
LOL totally understand man, reading these threads is like being stuck in an infinite facepalm loop :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
I tried ondemand, smartass & smartassv2 All had the same problem for me. The phone was super smooth and had great battery life most of the time. But it was woeful when it came to maintaining music playback :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] purpleraintoxicity:
Neo xx works fine. Lwess smooth then 17. But excellent!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
Hi guys,

I've just installed neo 17 on my sgs running cm7 nightly 104.

After I flashed the kernel and rebooted my home button doesn't work.

Only when the screen is off and I press it it turns the screen on but won't bring the home screen when im in another app or somthing.

Any idea how to solve this problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kino87:
Have you installed the right kernel version on your sgs? In the past I had similar problems when I took, for example, the captivate version kernel instead of the i9000. In that case you have to go back to recovery and flash the right kernel (mind you: even in recovery the keys are mixed up, so you have to experiment a little bit to find what is what)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
I've flashed it twice already and checked it was for the sgs...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Do you have an sgs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
last time I checked... hmmmm... yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
i have had this too, but I did not do anything special to solve this, just flashed another version, and everything was working again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Never mind... Thanks to FadeFx:

I managed to get FuguMod 1586 running on #103 after all :)

I really hope the SODs, random reboots (had one this morning) and Android Bug are things of the past :)

Neo XX beta 6

preview

-t2 (take2)

with special thanks to:

- nikademus (thanks a lot for porting the kernel to a newer kernel base !)

- teamhacksung

prior to flashing BACKUP your SMS/messages or CONTACT data (due to change from 2.6.35 -> 2.6.37)

especially the ext4 filesystem (evtl. yaffs2) has changed a lot [related to superblock, etc.] and eventually following has to be done when migrating from a 2.6.35-based kernel with older version of ext4

backup -> factory reset (+ format /system) -> flash new -> flash kernel -> backup restore

it's possible that in certain seldom cases, that sms/message & contacts after the flash are lost (currently I couldn't figure out yet what triggers this)

==> therefore backup

Changelog:

- change to 4.5 linaro toolchain from 2011.08

- revert: compass-changes

- battery-algorithm form Samsung stock kernel (disconnecting charger/usb-cable -> ~ 95%; except with this "glitch" the battery display is more accurate for me - below 30% the display fluctuates between 10-15% with cm7 stock algorithm which is too inaccurate for me) ["S5PC11X: BATTERY:SOC level report as 100% if batt_full flag set ...true"]

- Battery-Polling down to 30 secs (from 60 in FuguMod)

- governor improvements (smoother)

- several idle improvements (perhaps better battery runtime in idle)

- unsuccessful suspend attempt are omitted for longer time (-> saves battery & Cpu-load) [test]

- + DMA coherent allocator

- memcpy + memmove replaced with optimized versions

- accidental touch prevention for the capacitative keys

- hugetlb deactivated (eventually fixes the phone getting slower some time & the getting faster again - if this occurs --> dmesg & logcat --> post for analysis)

- ftrace deactivated

- conservative governor less aggressive

- headphone-detection during boot + reboot

- smoother ...

thnx zach! i flashed it, im on miui 1.9.9 NL, i only wiped dalvik and cache and everything works perfect, i only hope that my android os bug wil go away, it makes me crazy, it drains so much
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tanivula:
Hi Zach,

Had a go with NEO XX beta5 yesterday. Overall, it was pretty awesome but had a few issues when trying to mount USB to my computer - the phone would become unresponsive. THe external SD card would mount, but not the internal one, power button would turn display on and off but nothing would work (couldn't open apps/change screens etc). Will try the latest version and see if issues are still present.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenosteam:
I have a bootloop with the beta 6? Any solution ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
Hi, I flashed your NeoXX beta 5 yesterday after a fresh firmware flash as instructed. Do I still need to factory reset -> flash firmware again going from beta 5 to beta 6? Or can I just flash the new beta straight away?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Beta6's smoothness level is over 9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awia:
hi zach!

I have a problem with neoXX kernels... the USB transfer is too slow..... (about 300KB/s)

If I reflash another neo kernel, the USB speed is normal... (plugged in the same usb port)

nobody have this issue???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
I have the same issue, but not just with neo XX, also with neo 17, it takes me 40mins to transfer a 300mb file to my external sd card through USB transfer
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
yes same problem here. haven't found the reason yet. Neo xx beta 5 t3

tapatalked...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Internal sd is slow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
how about external?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Try this:

Worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
That 2 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Illusions.... I'm doomed to stay on Neo. And more and more tempted to go back to stock ROM...

This time FuguMod de-calibrated my Smart Keyboard beyond any use. Funny, it works just fine on Neo17. And I didn't have SOD nor reboot this morning (yet)! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Does neo use the same screen sensitivity calibration as fugu?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
that sounds as if it were a bad thing :(

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi guys,

yeah, it seems to be an issue with internal + external sd (internal is slow anyway)

I'm looking into this

was it the same with fugu or is this a newly introduced regression ?

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Depends on what happens next. I mean my recent adventures thought me that the most important feature for me is stability, with battery life coming second. Everything else comes third. I think I can even suppress (with effort) the urge to flash new kernel every day if I find one that is stable as rock. Neo17 looked good, but then all these SODs and AndroidBugs started to pop up and spoiled my experience. Hopefully, I have less problems now, after flashing #103 and formatting /data yesterday (BTW: I did it with Fugu1586 - I hope I don't need to re-format it back to match Neo17r12?). Let's see for how long. I don't dare to flash NeoXX just yet and I'm reading the General section learning about stock ROM and matching kernels (looks like you are active in this area, too :) Talon?).

But honestly I have no idea yet who will get the beer on me this month...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awia:
In my case, only I have the problem with the 2 kernels NeoXX... with others kernels all works perfect...

For wxample, with the Neo17r12 I don´t hve this issue..

wait wait, with the lastest stable version of fugu (1586 - 2.6.38) I have the same issue, but the speed is a little faster... Around 900 KB/s. With NeoXX the speed are around 300KB/s
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kkube:
Same problem with fugu latest but a tad bit better than NEOXX.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] purpleraintoxicity:
My review on neo xx:

Batt life like latest neo17.

The ui is lot less smooth.

Wifi is wayyyy better! And auto connecting (for the first time in neo's for me).

Didn't use usb.

Deep sleep works fine. No sod, no delay

Games seems to eat more batt then at neo 17.

Gps seems like working the same.

Multitasking works fine

Using neo xx (latest) with screenstate scripts, smartass2+cfq/deadline. Super charge script enabled
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
lol

Android + new kernels #fail :D

CM Issue Tracker: somewhat slow USB write speed to SD card

http://www.incredikernel.com/?p=130

<-- don't try to run the commands from this blog - since it doesn't apply to our phone

instead do:

adb shell

echo /dev/block/vold/179:9 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

then mount your external SD card

after that you should be able to copy at faster speed (for me e.g. at 5.1 MB/s for a 2 GB file :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
I was using Neo XX beta6 today and im satisfied with it.

Smoothness is great with smartassV2 (missing some OC though:) ).

Battery is also good but i think in Neo17r12 it was a bit better.

Over the night my battery was down from 100% to 91%.

It seems to me that copying files over wifi is better now than before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Zachy, new kernel much less smoother then r12. And battery is worther. Nikademus base need much improvements. ;)

Big thanks for ur work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awia:
I will try it!! :D

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

One question, this command is for the Internal or External SD card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenosteam:
with neo xxx beta6 battery drain. i uv 1000 to 77/ 800 to 90/ 400 to 125 /200 to 150 and 100 to 200 but battery still drain , what is wrong ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
I experienced some drain too, but a restart solved it.

A few hours before i had a little lagging in animations, transitions and scrolling (opera mini), but its gone now. Weird.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenosteam:
well i will retry
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kkube:
Zach just wanna confirm if it helps, just installed 1.9.16 miui from miuiandroid.com

Sd card speed was around 6-7 mbps, reflashed your kernel speed shot down.

So stock kernel dosnt have this problem.

If it helps.

Edit: also best battery life with miuiandroid.com 1.9.16+neoXXBETA6+jvr

Last 9 hrs just 1% drop with onedemand+deadline+nouv
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tanivula:
Had the same issue with beta

6 :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
I'll bring a bit of criticism - don't see a point to start work on new kernel base when old one close to perfection, but still not there.

Another point - in just a month,two, max three we will see next gen of Android, hence don't see a point to start a new project from scratch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
this is, because of zach's kernel is build from 2.6.37 sources, and the miui stock kernel is build from older ones (2.6.35)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
i`m on neoxx beta 6 and have some drain.

using it lightly, i have 50 percent left after 1 hour and a half of display usage.

with neo xx beta 5 i had 50 percent of battery only after 2 and a half hours, heavy usage.

strange :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenosteam:
this is my experience too about battery drain ,well hope that zak will make something about that .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Maybe its from the battery algorithm changes, incorect readings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenosteam:
after a full charge i have recalibrate my battery by wiping battery state ,nothing change
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
I'm not talking about battery calibration.

Read yhe changelog
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
When you calibrate your battery you wipe the batterystats file. On your next boot Android will need to recreate one using some "stock" values.

So you're at the beginning point.

You have to charge-discharge your phone 3/4 times.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Noooooooooooooooo! Where is stock color version!

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Don't get so far from stock please. Stock is not worst. Just need stock colors brother. As performance that's the best kernel. Most fps with 1000 mhz = platypus kernel. But really need stock colors. This making me move to fugumod or stock. Otherwise I know all bugs will fixed days to days.. Supercurio also says Voodoo color is not ready to use and sucks. Please give choice for us. Thanks for great kernel. Quakenet channel is shortcutted on my home screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
relax, this is just a a beta :)

next official builds will have more options ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
:)

no experimentation & collecting of experience - no further improvement of existing kernels (even old base) :p

besides that the old kernel base limits further improvements to a minimum

I'm still collecting the feedback to figure out on how to further improve the old (2.6.35) Neo kernel-base

well - so far it's rather ambiguous:

1) e.g. Front Cam videos/pictures recorded resulting in weird WP7-like tiles

WHEN EXACTLY DID IT START TO HAPPEN ?

(prior to Neo 17 r5 ?)

2) fixing voodoo color non-smooth color transitions: probably getting closer :)

3) recent more often occuring SODs

WHEN EXACTLY DID IT START TO HAPPEN ?

(Neo 17 r5+ ? )

thanks !

well, to be precise

stock color in fugumod is simply voodoo color + voodoo color disable != (NOT) stock colors

therefore I need to revert voodoo colors first + apply changes

after that we'll have real stock colors without ugly block color transitions

besides that support for e.g. the fascinate is broken, too (no updates for quite a while)

so all of that needs to be prepared first

thanks !

@all other feedback & reports:

thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Two SODs today so far. One with strange behaviour of leds (power button switched them on and off). Two per day is too much for me...

sent using xda premium from

sgs+cm7+neo17

jvk bl/jvs modem
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok, that makes it pretty clear,

that those are caused by the new changes to the touchkey driver :confused:

I'll revert those

@dupel:

BLN doesn't work easily on the cm7 kernel

well, superatmel in his superOSR ROM seemingly has it working but didn't release the kernel-source yet or doesn't want to :(

if you or someone could bother him to release it I would include the changes

another approach would be to change to the "old" melfas touchkey driver from samsung stock kernel + add BLN on top

but it's not guaranteed to work afterwards :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Ok brother thank you for reply. I will stick neo like always. That's worth it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SilverMist1:
will i be able to use neo xx if i add the files from kernel zip to miui package with 7zip and flash miui that way? (clean install from stock rom)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
no idea if that works with miui, but I do this with insanity. IMO should work, don't forget to copy over also the modules.

tapatalked...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
yeah, you can do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:
Is this kernel compatible with dsp manager as well as voodoo??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
read the OP.

yes it is, dsp is rom specific, so if you are on cm7 then yes(some miui roms don`t have the dsp app), it works, and every cm7 kernel has voodoo :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liranvaknin:
Hi,

What is the best scheduler and cpu governor to use with this kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
I prefer using the screenstate_scaling script, which can be found in the irc channel linked on the first page.

by using this, your phone uses different governors for screen on (ondemand as default) and screen off (conservative as default).

if ondemand is lagging, you could try smartassV2, which is smoother, but power consumption might be higher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
I used to have this problem in all miui roms and with neo kernel where when using the camera when i viewed black objects they would be all green and blocky in some areas. This would also happen in some wallpapers for example the top left of the pruple honeycomb wallpaper would get all black, green and blocky that you can get for go launcher. But recently with the final galnet miui that problem has disappeared and I was wondering if you could fix that problem in neo as it is a much better performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure I'll see what I can do,

it's an issue with voodoo color

NEO 17 -r13 codename: Butterfly

upload/update to IRC will follow - currently I don't have much time [and IRC makes me a trigger-happy robot who can't study anything ^^]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
I can post it if you wanna
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Have you seen the Kang built posted by pawitp in the main thread? There are some fixes for Android Bug and SODs included. Will they make their way to Neo?

Right now I'm in love with pawitp.. He probably doesn't return it, but that's all right ;) Stock CM7 build with stability-related fixes AND led-notif!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
You can see zach's post in the thread thanking him :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
Two version got bootloop for me, tried clean reinstall MIUI but no luck.

Reflash bilboa's kernel and MIUI boot fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
It looked like bootlop for me also, but I just gave it some time and it booted. :) wipe cache and dalvik after flashing kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
interesting ...

just started testing another new kernel but:

is 348 MB enough ? :p

edit:

lol:

- camera FCs ;)

- HD playback broken

hm ...

- sound effects on Gun Bros broken XD

ok - next kernel ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legolas93:
Do you forget to change build number in last kernel (r7)..

I continue to see r6 in INFO!

BTW keep up this project
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah,

forgot to change the localversion tag - my bad

:)

edit:

some more progress: 333 MB available

issues:

- front cam taking pictures - hangs :p

- HD videos OK

- Goggles OK

- camera taking pics OK

- Gun Bros sound effects back OK

yay !

next kernel ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ImraanK:
Lol someone is having fun!!! PS I changed the governor to smartass.. phone is super super smooth.. but clock doesn't drop below 600mhz .. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kashortiexda:
Zach, firstly. . . THANKS for all the effort.

I'm on Miui MGv2 +zach quorra 6+v2 ondemand. . . All good and battery good BUT. . .

TWICE now today the phone has gone to sleep and I mean to SLEEP! !! Only way I could wake was to pull battery.

This was with standard 1000 no oc/uv cfq ondemand.

Any ideas why? I know it goes conservative with screen off but this thing really sleeps zzzzzzz

Even CPU spy showed DEEP sleep!

Look fwd to v7 and THX again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
600 MHz is a little much for my taste but if it makes the phone really smooth it should be worth it IMO :)

(perhaps 400 is better - 600 is already more than half the max frequency :confused:)

deep sleep should be the default thing

no deep sleep - your phone / OS is keep the cpu busy and it can't sleep properly

KEEP CALM

DO NO PANIC !

you tried pushing the home button for several seconds - waiting and then pushing the power button again ?

did it wake up after that ?

I noticed, too that it now seems to sleep better ;) (that poor phone needs some rest)

but it should wake up fine - it only should occur after longer periods in which it's in idle

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kashortiexda:
Okay will try wake it up like you suggest and report back.

Please confirm that I will still receive calls / sms etc while its fast asleep like that ! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, of course

it *should work*

just tested it with a call - it was ok

sms and other stuff should also work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes it will receive calls, but it wont remember them in the morning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
lol

yeah - it drunk too much alcohol or took too much sleeping pills :p
