Yes I'm serious.

The small LED light is on top of the phone, left on the ear speaker.

If you put the phone under sunlight or strong light, you can see that there are 2 small dots:

1) light sensor

2) small LED light that I am desiring, just like what I had on my previous HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
That is the proximity sensor...oh gawd...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
Can you get your friend to take a picture of the light being lit up on his SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jmacourek:
I have exactly same problems (i cant hear and unresponsive menu and back buttons)!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
Do you have the LED Notification version of the platypus installed? Because the version without the LED Notifications has fixed this problem (The unresponsive touch keys are due to incompatibility with the implementation of LED notifications AFAIK).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sambwel:
That's not an LED. That is the stable where the pony lives.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok, the following kernel

is

only

for EXPERIMENTING

I've ported some changes from the 2.6.37 autogroup code + fixes to the scheduler

and it seems to run but reboots the phone when attempting to connect via

adb shell :p

(adb push is fine though)

since I have no access to WIFI, 3G data and other important stuff during holidays

I can't fully test the stability

due to memory leaks and other issues in the autogroup-port (not from me)

it's not optimally to use that scheduler-enhancement (even if it makes the phone more snappy)

unless I or someone else can manage to port the newer code & include the newer fixes

so:

I please need some feedback on:

- what works

- what works NOT

- what is stable

- what is NOT stable

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jmacourek:
Yes, i have kernel with LED notif.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
It works ...

No reboots ...

Stable ...

Apps work ...

Good battery ...

Great
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quaff:
If you can't handle with the sporadic unresponsive touch keys (which can be fixed by a quick lock and unlock), then I suggest installing the no-led notification version of the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Decalc:
Does this kernel have logcat disabled? What do i have to do to use adb with this?

I'm on ubuntu and using lsusb device is listed as:

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 18d1:4e22 Google Inc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
which kernel do you mean ?

yes, it has logcat + printk disabled since several versions already

what are you trying to do ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok, the following kernel

is EXPERIMENTAL in its nature but

needs further testing

I've ported some changes from the 2.6.37, 2.6.38 kernel autogroup code + fixes to the scheduler

and it seems to run but reboots the phone when attempting to connect via

adb shell :p [still doing that since my modifications are kinda hacky ^^]

(adb push is fine though)

since I have no access to WIFI, 3G data and other important stuff during holidays

I can't fully test the stability

due to memory leaks and other issues in the autogroup-port (not from me)

it's not optimally to use that scheduler-enhancement (even if it makes the phone more snappy)

unless I or someone else can manage to port the newer code & include the newer fixes

this kernel includes the needed memory leak fixes and several other improvements

so:

I please need some feedback on:

- what works

- what works NOT

- what is stable

- what is NOT stable

sticking points:

- speedtest.net (app) via 3G+data - does it work / reboot ?

- surfing via twitter/tweetcaster, opening up bit.ly links

- youtube videos

- apps

- calling, end calling

- wifi

- bluetooth

- etc.

the kernel was still built using nightly #40 / 7.1.0 RC1 snapshot

once it's usable for you (well, at least mostly) I'll sync the repo and upload

kernels that match with the newer android nightlies

thanks !

Note:

right now no led-notifications support is included !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doc_2nas:
Same here, everything is great, maybe if you could tweak the voltage setting like latest glitch kernel, it would be great. Great job mate..... Thank you so much
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Well..everything works very well.

Bluetooth ok...

Speed test .. over 9000...(5300 down 1500 up)

Wi-Fi ok...

Calling .. didn't test yet...will edit when i do

Edit: calling works perfectly.

idk what is causing this... but sometimes its like my screen is no responding to my ( delicate and sensual ) touches ... but its gone now so no worries. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
+1 here, no issue at all on miui 1.7.1 orginal !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Esahin1992:
i would test it too but it have not bln ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks !

thanks for your feedback !

that's somewhat tricky since Tk only updates his repo in a monolithic way (the new OC stuff included) so it's somewhat cumbersome and difficult to extract the changes and other stuff that he might have tweaked and keep the repo clean if stuff later needs to be reverted

maybe I'll fork his repo and use his kernel as base

but since it's not directly clear what's included I'm staying on my base (which is directly on top of the teamhacksung repo and adding stuff via different branches)

and thanks once again for your feedback, siky_dude ! :)

thanks WiwiPouPou !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
and another one

is (still) EXPERIMENTAL in its nature but

needs further testing

I've ported some changes from the 2.6.37, 2.6.38 kernel autogroup code + fixes to the scheduler [including a fix for rt group-scheduling which might be crucial on Android systems]

it seems to run but reboots the phone when attempting to connect via

adb shell (terminal access seems to be broken, too) :p [still doing that since my modifications are kinda hacky ^^]

(adb push is fine though)

since I have no access to WIFI, 3G data and other important stuff during holidays

I can't fully test the stability

due to memory leaks and other issues in the autogroup-port (not from me)

it's not optimally to use that scheduler-enhancement (even if it makes the phone more snappy)

unless I or someone else can manage to port the newer code & include the newer fixes

this kernel includes the needed memory leak fixes and several other improvements

Changelog:

- (probably) fixed some sound stuttering and lags

- GUI seems to be somewhat smoother

next kernel:

- autogroup removed (due to memory leak -> loss of available RAM when phone is on for longer periods & broken terminal/adb access)

sticking points for testing:

- speedtest.net (app) via 3G+data - does it work / reboot ?

- surfing via twitter/tweetcaster, opening up bit.ly links

- youtube videos

- apps

- calling, end calling

- wifi

- bluetooth

- sound / mp3 playback (stuttering, lags - always ? only at the beginning ?)

- etc.

the kernel was still built using nightly #40 / 7.1.0 RC1 snapshot

once it's usable for you (well, at least mostly) I'll sync the repo and upload

kernels that match with the newer android nightlies

thanks !

Note:

right now no led-notifications support is included !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Decalc:
Never mind, got it to work.. :)

By the way you cound make an option in recovery to enable/disable logcat + printk :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sptorrent:
Hi Zach,

Trying now - thanks.

All seems to work.

I set the same OC/UV as with Glitch's (OC 1200 - my phone can't go beyond atm)

wifi ok

3g ok

gps ok

youtube + opera + firefox ok

phone ok (we still need that from time to time :p)

speed OOKK

deep sleep ok

I'll report if anything else comes to mind.

As for battery, can't say anything in view of the short time
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
Tryed test02 kernel today.

I had some trouble just a few minutes ago:

I turned wifi on and started samba filesharing (and enabled), the phone restarted itself, after that i got a bootloop. A few boot attempts later it booted but after a short time rebooted again. The next time i was able to disable the wifi, now its ok without wifi. Oh, but my widgets from the homescreens are disappeared exept the favourite contacts miui widget.

Strange..

Now i will try with the test 03 kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
test03 probably will show no change

thanks freaked9 !

that's exactly the kind of stress-test & result I was waiting for :)

ok, so there's only the following 2 choices:

- either stay on autogroup (smoothness) - but degrading available memory after longer periods of up-time

- or leave autogroup (and BFS - since that also had trouble) out and trade some "smoothness" in for more stability

I'm sure that you guys agree that the current "situation" with the non-working adb, terminal/shell and potential instability is not acceptable

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
Yes stay on your base, i've never had a reboot with yours with video playback, but always with TK..

Have you seen voodoo sound 10 is out ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doc_2nas:
For whatever kernel base you use I think you have the best kernel for cm7, fast, smooth, stable good battery life, also good for heavy games. You really rock!! Thank you Zach!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
Test 3...

I do not approve ...

Kinda laggy...

Neocore only 49...not 65 as usual...

Overall ... bleh :)

Back to test 2 witch was perfect from my point of view.

The battery trully is awesome.

Edit: srry...my bad...reflashed...now...bugs bunny and Mikey mouse are my favourite cartoon heroes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doc_2nas:
On my experience, neocore only hits 49 happened after kernel installation, sometimes, not only with Zach's kernel,.but also with Tk's kernel. After first reboot and so on they always give neocore score around 65. Test 03 is as smooth as test 02, haven't tried adb or samba yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] koflem:
Yes, the 49 fps cap bug happens on all cm7 kernels afaik. You simply need to lock/unlock once and it will go away until you reboot (this is similar to the old data connection bug that needed a lock/unlock after reboot).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sptorrent:
Back to Glitch's to get a working

Adb.

I also got some sound problem, not hearing whoever calls.

Apart from "that", it's all good...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
How can I get logcat working on NEO_10? I need it :)

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
Hi zach, i got a new symptom with test 02 and 3 kernel !

I lose data after sometime (while browsing), and reswitching to neo 10 don't cure.. had to format/restore system.

Thanks for the good work !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
this kernel is for you and all the others that need logcat + printk:

it's a slightly improved NEO_10 kernel

with

- logcat+ printk enabled

- a scheduler fix

- swaptoken patch from CK (we don't have swap right now - so probably no effect)

- updated background aging patch for no-swap systems

- enabled network congestion (QoS) stuff

- correctly set vfp

- default scheduler is conservative + conservative
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Decalc:
Me too.. an option in recovery would be great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi WiwiPouPou,

sorry for this incident :o

I hope I could identify the culprit of this data loss

attached you'll find the

pre-final NEO_11 kernel

this has autogroup removed (newly created NEO_11 branch on top of teamhacksung repo)

this kernel should be ready for mass testing

since I right now need the cpu capacity of the system (updating my system to fix the instability) - repo hasn't been synced and re-compiled yet

initramfs still based on 7.1.0 RC1 and #nightly 40 (afaik there also weren't any changes in the prebuilt kernel so far)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Vorbeth is currently collaborating with me on the NEO kernel

I hope that soon this option is available via cwm recovery

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Esahin1992:
please ?!

it is possible to have a version with led?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
does the final neo 11 have no voltage control or is it just me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's just on the pre-final (keep things simple)

the final will have OC/UV as usual

and a flavor with/without led-notifications :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
I just wanted to thank you for the speed that you release new and "customized" kernels with, like the one you made for me :)

It's for this reason that I only run your kernels, even if not the first to be updated (like in the past). I just love your work :)

</adulation>
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
it wouldn't hurt to read just two posts above yours :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
new EXPERIMENTAL (stability + speed + features testing)

release:

kernels in post #3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sayli:
Hi zach. Thanks for the quick update with upstream :)

First feedback on quorra-r4_exp !

Was coming from bilboas last kernel on cm7 last nightly.

So, i used first the script cleaner which is recommended in order to switch between kernels and then flashed yours.

Then at first reboot it didn't asked me for the PIN pass(after several reboots it don't ask it either). And every Android apps seems to be broke, telling that the activity can't be launch smthg like that.

So no call, android market, SMS and so on ..

Anything i can do to get it work again with this new r4 or should I try to flash an old kernel and see(which i'm gonna do to see if it works again anyway :))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Hi Zach! Thx for ur work! U're awesome! :D

Newest kernel is pretty good, everything smooth and working.

PIN-code asking works after 1-2 minutes of waiting. Strange. :)

Btw, i noticed, that with interactive governor there are huge lags in games (especially on Unity). HUGE lags. And with ondemand - everything smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sayli:
Woaah. Solved it.

Rebooted to recovery and used the script cleaner again then flashed your r4 exp kernel and wiped cache. Now everything is working again :). Didn't even took time to show me pin code :P

Amazing ! thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks for your feedback sayli !

you tried locking & unlocking the screen

sometimes it takes some time for me, too but it's not kernel-release or kernel specific

most likely RIL-Polling related

you can try turning Airplane mode on and off after that the PIN prompt should come immediately

hm, really strange behavior :(

are you on MIUI or CM7 ?

wow - interactivity is supposed to be better but probably not so much ;)

I'll try out smarta$$ governor in the future (from Tk-Glitch) as option that one wasn't really satisfactory in the past but we'll see

great that it's smooth - prior to the optimizations it was somewhat laggy so I wanted to be sure that it's fast AND stable

like I wrote to sayli above:

try going to airplane mode and disable it again

or lock & unlock it

after that PIN prompt should appear

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
andddddd a bootloop. :o hmmm. let me try that again :p

EDIT: nvm. ignore. nothing a little wipe cache and dalvik cache doesn't fix :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suntzu123:
Will conseravative gooverener at future will disappear?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's still being used while the screen is off

only there's no real gain using it while screen is on since it significanty lags more & it doesn't scale so well

I've noticed some heavy battery drain with quorra-r4_exp (the new experimental kernel)

around 3% (with the Momax battery) - so 5-6% per hour drain stock while doing nothing

could be from latest upstream changes - but also could be from my latest tweaks & additions ...

don't know what might cause this yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
hope this get fixed soon. thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
Since I had to go out for some time I chose to try your kernel to test battery improvements (since speed/smoothness and so on is no longer a problem with CM7).

I plug off the AC cable at 19 with about 80% of battery. With 3G on i listened to music for 30 minutes and then the phone stayed idling for about 2 hours, forgetting to disable 3G. At 22 and 20 i turned on the screen and guess? 66% of battery! With 30 minutes of screen on I'm at 59% and it's 23.

Using Ondemand release with no OC and UV -50, -75, -75, -75, -100, -125.

Modem: JPG

Keep working on it cause you ans the CM7 team are on the right way!

works this kernel with miui?

because miui is 2.3.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
Kernel is not related to Android version. But you have to check if MIUI has new drivers. Don't know atm

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rolliradi8:
It works fine with MIUI!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PJF16:
New kernel works fine on CyanogenMod 7. No random reboots, WiFi is totally stable and I have a smooth feeling. The batterylife is also good!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:
I agree :) was on Glitch's kernel (v7b) kept getting random reboots and bootloops followed, not with this :D (yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kame_boy:
Has anyone tested quorra r4 with the new nightly? (0503). Not the experimental kernel. The changelog on CM7 forum said something about reverting some drivers so i'm waiting for an "OK" from here before i flash the nightly.

Ah btw... WIFI got fixed in the updated r4. It now finds and connects to dhcp successfully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
btw i could be blind but i didnt see that link in first post:

https://github.com/zachariasmaladroit/platypus-kernel_quorra

should prolly put it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PrimeDeluxe:
Doesnt work for me.

I tried it with MIUI Nex-S & with MIUI 1.4.29 RC7

It boots only to the Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen

Zach pre11 works great so far. Thanks a lot for your work.

There are so many version in the 1st page. Which one do I use for Muiu V4?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
NEO10.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lippol94:
hey zach :)

I'd like to know if NEO_11 will be released with logcat enabled, cause for theme developing purpose I need that feature.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
I installed Neo11 pre-final last night, it seem good so far.

Battery droped 2% during 8hours i was sleeping, thats much better then before.

In-use consumption is too high, but thats usual.

Wifi is working, even with samba filesharing (maybe program caused the problems before), mobile net too.

A little bug: when waking up the phone and unlocking the lockscreen (its custom)

the homescreen is blinking a little, but after that its ok.

Overall smoothness was a little bit better in Neo10 i think, ofcourse its hard to measure. Opening transitions of programs are better, on Neo10 they lagged sometimes, they don't doing now.

Any ideas why the display uses so much juice compared to non-cm7 systems?

There is a Hz value which im seeing a lot on "normal" custon kernels, is that a sample rate or update rate of the touchscreen?

Any way, if its too high it uses a lot of power but it makes the rom smoother if im right. Can you give me some info on that?:)

P.S: sry for my English
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
I think the screen is normal...no tweaks there...as for high battery consumption..it was this high since 2.1 ... at least for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
The screen and the battery consumption are OK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
I had freeze/restart a minute ago. So i tried the stock lockscreen, there's no blinking. It looks like that the custom lockscreen was causing the problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
i have a squigly kind of line on the bottom..is it from the kernel or my screen is dieing/dying(i think both are correct)...warranty check?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
My screen is ok.

for zacharias: are you using this : http://code.google.com/p/gpu-powervrsgx540-linteam/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
After a day of usage i came to the conclusion that the Neo10 was a bit faster overall.

Wifi, mobile data, deep sleep, music was OK.

Oh, i dont had those lags, glitches when playing music than before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nik0lica:
Are U talking about latest v10: NEO 10 diagnostic kernel (logcat + printk)???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doc_2nas:
Did you use UV? I had glitches when I UV too much (in every oc/uv kernel). For the logcat, I don't really understand about logcat, but it's cool since now I can use the logcat live wallpaper :) (I just love it ). And my favourite governor is ondemand, conservative give me some fc (but indeed, not always) when I played psx emulator.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nik0lica:
What version PSX emulator u r playin? And what games? Is it smooth?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
I agree, v11 seems slower than v10
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doc_2nas:
Fpse 0.10.54, I played Front Mission 3 (didn't work on psx4droid) and it's super smooth. I think cm7 with zach's kernel is amazing, never been so smooth on GB 2.3.3 based ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freaked9:
Nope, no UV.

nik0lica: i meant the original Neo10.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
repost from the MIUI Galnet Thread:

if you want to get a preview of the upcoming new kernel (it's an cwm improved & enhanced NEO_11 - thanks to Vorbeth !)

give my pre-final NEO_11 a try

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15461480&postcount=1575

it has OC/UV and led-notifications not yet included

but should give you an idea how it'll be

that one is using conservative + conservative governor (probably best trade-off between smoothness, functionality and battery on MIUI)

autogroup was removed so the smoothness might be somewhat less but the experience is more consistent and there are also no more glitches in sound-playback anymore

also printk and logcat is enabled for that one

and it will be enabled by default unless the switching for logcat is included

@lippol94:

hope that answers your question

I'll go through the posts & questions (if any additional) and answer them later

thanks !

for zacharias: are you using this ? : http://code.google.com/p/gpu-powervrsgx540-linteam/

(safe gpu overclock)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi Alberto96,

I had the gpu overclocked to 220 MHz in a previous NEO-kernel

but it seems I forgot to do it this time

our gpu seemingly is capable to run at 400 MHz but is underclocked to 200 MHz by samsung (that's at least what I read)

when I find some time I'll see if I can re-add that basic OC or the ability to modify

gpu OC via controlfreak

Thanks !
