[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Hanny:
My report before you update it :)

franco, its me :) the astronaut

It's so glad to see you here again announcing a future update!

Im really really really sorry to ask you to use your precious time to read my post, but please! cause I worked hard on getting these results, although I have a bit problems at last.

well... since 19092011 version I experienced quite a bit of instability for the kernel despite its flying speed,

and since 02102011 I started digging deep into the instability problem and analysed my experiences for an entire month!

It is very true that the battery and performance of this kernel is extremely good :D

however I have a bit confusion... Please allow me to apologize in advance but I am trying my best not to be a noob, to test things myself, and report to you ;)

And here is what all happened:

03/10/2011

Flashed franco.Kernel .35 v1-02102011! no bugs at all, camera fliker fixed

my flashing procedure was:

boot recovery

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

wipe battery stats

flash kernel

03/10/2011 to 16/10/2011

I experienced instability (buttons blink, as kernel panics) and also random shutdowns. At that time I didnt know those random shutdowns are also one of the kernel panic symptom!

[random shutdown = while using, it gives a little bit of electric beam at the top of the screen and all things go black, press buttons/touch - no response, long press power button can turn on the phone]

At the bottom of this Note CPU OC Stats are the logs of my abnormal kernel panics.

A point to feature is that the system is being unstable even at 600mhz.

I tried replacing my battery with a new one, didnt work.

12/10/2011

I went to a phone repairing centre and they helped me to fix my hardware volume buttons and my power button because they are hard to press accurately. Before repairing I nandroid backed up and flashed pure 6.6.1 and gave them. After that I nandroid restored.

It seems this does not affect my problems and they still occur.

16/10/2011

I could not resist the random shutdowns/kernel panics and I did a system re-install.

Note 16102011 Reinstall includes my procedures.

Yes, there is a transparent status bar patch, by daxelectro as at that time I was using MIUI transparent theme so I patched it. As I dont know how to read the patches and I guess it doesnt affect the kernel..? For your reference, I attached it in this post.

Recently I dont need that patch anymore as I changed to ICS theme. I did not use the undo.zip daxelectro included but I just put back the SystemUI.apk back to /system/app and change back its original permissions. All about status bar is fine.

At the middle of Note CPU OC Stats shows the logs of my abnormal kernel panics after 16/10/2011 system re-install.

I tried to check my SD card position.

I tried to check my SIM card position and adjust it to a fine place.

I removed Advanced Task Killer. (i dont use it often though)

I removed both SetCPU and No-Frills. and use CM settings to set overclock.

It shows that the problem is not solved. There are still shutdowns at 600mhz.

21/10/2011

I suspected it maybe cause of my procedures when flashing, because I didnt reboot between each zip I flash! :eek:

I flashed my system again, with This procedure.

A point to note is that I did not wipe battery stats as I think it only affects the battery calibration and I have already calibrated my battery so I did not wipe it.

Finally, it seems to look much better (at least not that unstable at 600mhz)

but there are still shutdowns... after two weeks of intense testing and recording, I have my results but meanwhile still got certain questions...

Here are my results:

Overclocking Results - after 21102011

and I have finalized that:

(Grey = FALSE)

(Red = TRUE)

(Green = UNSURE)

The random shutdowns are

Kernel Panics.

because of my hardware battery.

because of charging battery to 100%.

because of my SD card / its position.

because of my SIM card / its position.

because of Advanced Task Killer.

because of CPU overclocking apps.

because of HSDPA browsing.

because of auto set on boot option.

because of manual usage during phone initialization (YES = unlock and use phone immediately after seeing lockscreen / NO = not touching phone and wait 5min after seeing lockscreen, and start using)

because of unclean reboot (last power off is hard battery pull / reboot option in power menu)

because of FIRST REBOOT after ROOT configurations (Density, Fonts, Governors change)

So now I come up with a few problems, please forgive my noobiness! :(

1) are battery stats essential to wipe, before every kernel flash? even if I am flashing the absolute same kernel and my battery is already calibrated? If i dont wipe, will it affect my overclocking stability? (i guess no but just confirm, please forgive me!)

2) What do you think of the reasons marked in green above? especially the FIRST BOOT one.... cause its true, the SECOND boots are always staying longer stably than the first boots after certain root configurations.

3) I searched google but...

Is there an ever "forever stable" OC frequency for a phone?

or "once we overclock, the phone starts to be unstable and it depends on how long it takes to panic, its so-called stable because you rebooted before the time arrives" ?

4) Please do me a favour about confirming whether the patch from DaxElectro is affecting the kernel! Sorry I dont know how to read them...

5) does the max freq of .32 and .35 differ from each other?

so....the last option, is that my phone can only afford 480/600 in .35 kernel...?

As you can see, I can now only OC at 480/691 Smartass V1 and have to manual reboot every 12 hours.

which is comparatively lower than when I was at .32 which I could OC at 480/729 Smartass V1 stably for about 4 months...

Franco your kernel gives flying and super performance but I dont know what I have done wrong to make myself sacrifice the stability of it :( I'm so sorry...

I really hope I can find out the problem and OC to the frequency that used to be stable for me at .32 kernel... Sorry franco for this annoying post but please give me a helping hand, you are my savior!!

Thank you!! :)
