Ok.. sooo... ummmm... as far as my understanding went these kernels have the ability to overclock but as a default are on 1ghz... but you can overclock it... iv never bothered changing any settings after flashing a kernel soooo... does that mean im not overclocked... or am i supposed to flash some stock kernel thing...??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
You're not OC'd. Install SetCPU to scale higher than the manufacturer defaults.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
but that will apparently drain more battery power... so no thats something i dont want...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Who cares? You can set Screen Off profiles too which will inherently save more power than you're using now, so you'll probably break even or not even notice a difference.

Also, these kernels have more than just OC capabilities. There are many tweaks and optimizations. You can use these kernels and have a better user experience, which is what we're all after. We're willing to sacrifice a small amount of battery if that's what it takes.

I honestly haven't noticed much drain, if any. I'm sure I'd gain battery life using the crappier stock kernels but I'd rather have a much faster and much more functional device.

You shouldn't be modding your phone with the attitude you've got now. This is XDA.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lilhaiti:
Flashed 1.2 from faux 1.3 (of course flashing stock first). It seems to be running pretty smooth so far. Scrolling seems smoother than faux's kernel. Will report back on stability and battery life.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
With all due respect bongd its not a matter of an poor attitude or not... its a matter of personal preference... im aware the kernels make alot of difference not just overclocking as iv been modding and stuff for a while... probably not as educated in the matter as you but know a wee bit... and also know iv never liked stock on any android iv used... hence have always used something else...

As for the preference i mentioned maybe battery life isnt that important for you because you have access to charge the phone whenever you please hence are willing to make the tradeoff... but its not the same case with everyone i assure you...

In my situation when im running a 48 hour shift on call in the hospital the last thing im going to want to worry about is my phone dying on me because it works faster than everyone elses and im getting higher scores, needing to leave patients to die so i can revive my phone... hence for me battery life is very important and im willing to sacrifice the increment of speed you get from overclocking because moving to a custom rom from stock already speeds up the phone in itself which is enough for me to be happy with...

everyone tries to customize their phone according to their personal need so... for you it may be blazing fast... for me its... better mileage...?? I hope you now see where im coming from...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
I can appreciate the need for better battery life but no need to be mellow dramatic and start talking about dying patients and your smart phone LMAO.. priorities, bro..

In any event, install SetCPU and create a screen off profile as well as profiles to use less than full CPU as your battery drains. It will not OC unless you specifically create a profile or drag the CPU scaler bar past the default 1GHz. I've personally had the best performance and battery life with faux's kernels as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Yea I didn't think so either but when I said I prefer better battery life previously, someone told me I shouldn't be on xda trying to mod to begin with hence figured might as well clarify :p lol

Anyway thanks ill look into all that stuff... never really used setCPU in the past as its said only use it if you know what your doing... not quite sure I do ;p

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
It's extremely easy.

Lets say you want a profile for when you're at 50% battery or less - you'd just create a profile, select the event (screen off, battery <, charging, etc....) and then set the max and min CPU values and what the battery % needs to be less than to change it.

You could create another profile for when it's less than 30% or 20%, etc, then scale the CPU even lower. Just an example of what people do to conserve power. I only have a screen off profile with my CPU scaling on the low end so I can still answer calls without them dropping or anything. Then I have a profile for less than 40% and then less than 20% if I'm really in a jam.

Once you see the different options it'll make sense.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
im having trouble with this kernel, I have tried so many times to install it on PiCrust, Alien and the Star Wars Rom. After I flash this kernel and wipe everything, it hangs at the Motorola Dual Core sign. Coming from stock GB with stock Kernel to Star Wars ( kernel is included) would still make me hang at the dual core sign. Every other kernel / CM7 seems to be fine. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me?

One thing I've noticed is that the proximity sensor doesn't work in calls with this kernel...don't know if anyone else has noticed this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] monzttr:
I am also having this problem, all my searches have come up with nothing. I have seen this (described above) after attempting to upgrade from the stock kernel as well as Faux's kernel. I have only tried CWM, perhaps I will try fastboot tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Clienterror:
Try romracers recovery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
That's what I'm using it still won't work

Wow that's crazy then, are you using the newest one? I think he posted it today.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
I'm using version 1.2, I would love using this kernel but sadly it just doesn't work for me.

Edit: I'm also using rom racers v3.1 recovery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Anyone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ac7brier:
Major random reboot issues while on charge. Ill be playing music in my car when all of a sudden it restarts. Most of the time it requires a battery pull afterwards. Ive tried suggestions that have already been put, but to no avail. I have it OC'd to 1.2. Should i lower it back down?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kanemari:
international users trying the latest (v1.2) version that detects tegrapart and converts /system to ext4, BEWARE!

the /system conversion failed and left me with an unmountable /system partition and a nice boot loop. Reinstalling an old working kernel didnt fix it because /system doesnt mount anymore regardless.

i think some logic is required to detect whether a successful /system partition conversion occurred, and possibly backing it up before proceeding (like the old lagfixes for the galaxy S) and changing how it mounts, and offering a rollback on fail.

and yes i know it says 'experimental' and we flash at our own risk, but if you dont want to smudge your reputation you should do a minimum level of sanity checking before releasing something like this... i, for one, will be very reluctant to flash any of your kernels in the future until i see comments from people that it does actually work.

other than that... like the extreme nature of your mods and will try again once you have something that is stable... keep up the good work!

EDIT: If anyone does this and wants to fix it, I did it by:-

1. reflashing a working kernel.

2. starting in recovery mode.

3. connecting with adb shell.

4. mounting /system with 'mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system'

5. using recovery to perform a backup (now that /system is mounted, otherwise /system wont mount because fstab says its ext3)

6. using recovery to format /system back to ext3

7/ using recovery to advanced restore /system only.

so it seems the ext4 partition conversion works in the latest kernel, but there is something else that causes it to loop... unfortunately dont know how to troubleshoot it. anyway, working again is all i care about for now :)

EDIT2: looks like i spoke too soon and was testing without the recommended config. after finding a non-ATT 1.97.00R radio update and flashing it, then following standard alien install and updating with the ext4 unified v1.2 kernel, it worked fine. i cant comment on stability just yet because i havent used it for long but at least it boots normally. so for the time being, working on an intl d00 atrix on alien 4 with 1.97.00R radio.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitrox1:
Or use romracer recovery, so that ext 4 is mountable.

Restore nandroid.

Swyped from "Mount" Olympus
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
It's simple to fix or return to EXT3. Just use any of the Recoveries. Under "advanced and mounts" choose format /system

Done.

I posted this fix a few pages back. Glad you figured it out. Also As nitrox1 points out, RomRacers Recovery should mount and allow backups of EXT4.

This kind of info should be on the OP so that it is not asked or posted about 500 times.

If you are useing Faux123's kernel Try this:

Flash the stock kernel he provides on his site.

Before reboot remove SIM card (this may not be nessasary)

Boot and Check airplane mode (this too may not be nessasary)

Shut down and install Kholk's kernel.

It worked for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
what do you mean so far so good? you just said that you were restarting all the time :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kanemari:
yeah its only simple for organised people that remember to back up before flashing. when you cant mount your /system directory to back it up, then just wipe it as you suggested, you might have issues :)

but yes, didnt know that romracer CWM allowed that. it didnt seem to work for me (just kept saying cannot mount /system) but ill look out for that in the future.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Banditlol:
I've used this kernel for about a week already but today i noticed that my phone got hotter than it's been in a while and it started rebooting almost every 5 minutes. It seems that the hotter the phone is the more prone it is to reboot? i dont know why maybe someone has an answer or solution i swiched back to faux's and it didnt reboot even at the same amount of heat
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
A system reboot would be a signal of a kernel panic, perhaps the hardware being too hot would be a culprit. The processor is not meant to go above 1Ghz.

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G on probably the crappiest main US carrier
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kholk:
Obviously not all the devices out there are able to be rock solid at 1.2GHz.

Some can go at 1.7 and some will reboot even at 1.1, we don't know: the chips aren't all built with the same environmental conditions and with the same precision, so, they aren't perfectly equal to each other.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Daniel_GB:
hi kholk

im using ur 1.2GHz kernel , with out any reboot problem!

im just getting reboot sometimes when the internal memory will mount on the phone and i dont think its the kernel problem! (maybe my nandroid backup problem)

by the way im ready to test ur 1.4GHZ :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:
this is incorrect. processors, ALL OF THEM. are made to a super quality and precision of 94% or higher. The material used on processors specially the small ones is so expensive that if you could not turn out 99.9% of a shipment the company will loose a ton of money.

here is an idea of high tight and perfected this process is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GQmtITMdas

if your phone can handle 1.7 my phone can handle 1.7, as they are expected to be 94 to 99.9 % the same unit!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Blind_Guardian:
So true my friend! I have a Q6600 that was made by intel in their employee lounge and man that thing smokes! I've got it going at 6ghz ON AIR COOLING! So much better that every other chip that is made the same way with those strict requirements.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ker~Man:
I sense a wee-bit of sarcasm. Hah!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ciloteille:
I sence a little sarcasm here. My qx9650 sits at 4.5ghz all day everyday. With temps no higher than 60c on cheap air. But im fsb Overclocking and not using multiplier (e8400 with 2400fsb eats higher clock quads with 1200fsb any day) also this all depends on if you wanna suicide run at 1.42+vcore.

These phones are the same. enough temp or voltage can eat them quickly. Some can take HIGH voltage and some can't. Some can't clock high while others hit records easily. Look on google for intel batch number charts for chips. Some work great, others are poop.

Edit: I hate to nay say crimp. But that's true. They make chips that work at designated specs. If they all run good then you get 94-99%. However I've tested about 4 e8400 chips long while ago. 2 came no high than 3.8-4ghz other two went about 4.5ghz and 5.2ghz walls. Tried same fsbmulti combos and tried boosting vcore on weaker ones to 1.6vcore and the two weaker cores did not get much higher without insane voltage. So all of my chips ran well at factory specs. Not when pushing cores above/out of their intended range. Ie tegra 1.0ghz.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:
your absolution is flawed, tegra is made with the same high standars as any other chip in the market. other than regular voltage our tegra 2 is the same as the tegra 2 found in the g2x. so to say that we cant reach 1.4ghz like they can, because the chips are made crappy and or different is simply ludacris. you are comparing a phone cpu to a pc cpu, and then ranging 5.2 ghz, is not similar, so it is flawed.

by comparison the g2x vs the atrix

or maybe the xoom vs any other tablet.

all the same process goes into making those tegra 2 chips. so its just the atrix with a crappy chipset. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHTHTTTTTT.

there is no evidence that points to crappy fabrication as the culprit for the inability to go beyond 1.1 oc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nameejokerx:
Maybe actually motorola itself block the possiblity to oc atrix by modifying its motherboard to auto reboot when oc/uv/ov or maybe the phone itself cant handle it.

But it quite strange as some phone can uv better than others.

As for kholk, he mention he has a developer phone and the motherboard of the phone is diff from retail so he can easily push it more.

Maybe dev can take a look at the motherboard but it still risky as u will brick ur phone.

We cant compare the phone with other phone even the chip is the same as other component might be totally diff.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
Im getting a lot of overheat followed by reboots using overclock, anyone else?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
As what youre talking about motorola, they always do some crap like that in the phones, look that phones with more than a year and a half get its screen ramdomly dying, i managed to learn that it only happens with stock or based on stock ROMs(but this is also in hardware configs of some phones, in some hidden partitions...)

I think we will not be able to develop a lot of new things using the original motoblur ROMs, only AOSP will be able to reach 100% of the hardware

This is only a thinking i have, please dont get mad with motorola before do a search and learn what you can about it, i dont want anybody to hate them because of what i said. =)

Actually the Tegra was not made to high standards and was a total rush job. My Xoom is proof of that. Need more proof? Here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15958

Scroll to the bottom; the reason it (and all Tegra-based 3.0+ devices) scrolls like **** in portrait is not because of Android, it's because of the ****ty Tegra2 design and drivers. It's insulting. Once HTC brings a sensation-caliber device to AT&T, I'll be going back to HTC. Same goes for when the Puccini arrives -- Goodbye Xoom. That's not to say that MOTOROLA doesn't build good devices, I'm just not sold on Tegra at this point. Maybe Kal-el will prove me wrong. Also I'm pretty disappointed by its 3D performance in comparison to my iPad 2. Go read the benchmarks, I'm not trolling.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
So wait, you're saying that because you had a problem it is solely to blame on the tegra? Why didn't you return your xoom? Have you tried different xooms? There are always certain products that don't deliver as they should... and thats why there is a return policy...

Link 3d performance comparisons to your ipad 2. Please do.

Here's one.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2381767,00.asp

The tegra 2 wins.

Before you jump to conclude that the a5 tripled the tegra 2 in the linpack benchmark, the Android Linpack from Greene Labs relies on Dalvik, but the iOS Linpack that was used uses the iPhone's Javascript engine. That makes that one measurement useless.

So as I said,

Tegra 2 wins.

Also, technically, the tegra two beats the a5 in its specs because it has nearly double the l2 cache. Other than that they are both cortex 9 processors w/ 1ghz dual core.

Also, here's another link for you to look at.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] REAVER117:
Not to start a flame war, but Tegra 2 is abolutely a rushed second-rate chip. No NEON instuction set, no High Profile H.264 decoding, it can't even compete with the last-gen single core Samsung SoC. Check any reputable site for benchmarks and they will all say the same: (http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/03/ipad-2-the-ars-review.ars/1)

Tegra 2 is one of the biggest reason that Android is #2 in the tablet market. How can you market a consumption device that can't even play HD. Oh and the SGX 543MP2 can run laps around the Geforce ULP.

(http://www.anandtech.com/show/4216/...rmance-explored-powervr-sgx543mp2-benchmarked)

I was completely sold on Tegra 2 until i actually used it. I've owned a Notion Ink Adam, Xoom and Atrix as well as an iPad 2 and many, many Android phones. Tegra 2 is all marketing no real world performance, it's the 'Ricer' of SoCs.

That's without an optimized OC kernel, a 100 mhz overclock is jack, not even running clock for clock with Exynos so there is plenty of power that isn't being tapped. Having a 1930mah battery gives me no concern for jacking up that speed, as this is one of the few phones that doesnt die quickly during heavy use.
