If we got a 30-40% increase on our phone with that I'd be extremely happy, even just a 10% increase.

Also the Atrix, Galaxy S II, and Optimus 2X all perform over twice as high in Quadrant compared other single core Cortex A9 devices so I'm sure it's enabled and is just sleeping the majority of the time. This could just be due to the beefy graphics included in Tegra 2 though.

Befor try to build a kernel with BFS I will speak with faux to think about what the topic.

This processor is power full for more performace. But need more optimizations.

I'm running the 1.45ghz kernal Dclocked to 1Ghz, that's smart!

Great work, very stable.

Sent from my CM860 ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Why use the OC kernel if it's downclocked to 1.0ghz? With the Enhanced you more steps in between and you can undervolt further due to being able to stay within the 100mv limit between steps. Also sometimes the phone will still run at 1.45ghz despite being setting the limit to 1ghz in SetCpu.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Anybody got any battery news on the 1.45Ghz kernel? I'm getting terrible battery but that's because it's not calibrated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] damonsmith666:
I am getting battery jump issues with the 4.5oc :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwiing:
Curious if ..."that's smart!" is in reference to Epic Meal Time. If not, carry on. Apologize for off-topic.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jenellej:
Using the 1.0/1.3ghz shows 2 cores though in Quadrant?

Bug in Kernel? or the core is asleep?

I flashed back to the 1.0ghz kernel because of this...

Also my PimpmyCPU UV settings arent sticking after a reboot.. Any clues? [Want to use setcpu but read about the bug in the first post?]

And for those having the widgets disappearing after powerdown/reboot, I started using Quickboot for these tasks and havent seen the problem re-occur since.. To test, I tried manually powering down using the power button and the problem with the widgets came back.. Used quickboot after and the problem did not re-occur...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MyronJ906:
You seem to be the person to be working most closely to my brainwaves so I have a question for you (but anyone is welcome to answer)

If you're running the 1.45GHz at 1.2 GHz, how are you keeping it at 1.2 GHz? Does a profile for battery <101% min 216 max 1200 work?

I ask because to my knowledge, the bug that causes the 2nd processor to run at max frequency when the system is in demand has not been fixed. This would mean that your phone is still actually running at 1.45 from time to time. I'm not exactly sure what conditions cause it to ignore your set max and go up to the actual max, but it does happen. Not sure how (or if) profiles negate it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
You need to calibrate your battery.

That's it? My battery recharges without being plugged in. And it also makes me pancakes in the morning.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Using CM7 beta with the enhanced stock latest version and I have had no widget problems at all. Also undervolting all steps except 912 and 1000. It's running cold and smexy =D. I <3 Faux :p

Overheat Issue

My atrix hits 68 degrees Celsius on boot with the CM7 1.45 kernel. Is there something I can do to fix this or is my CPU just a lower grade since cpu cast on the same die differ?

Also, what is the max temperature I should let my phone CPU hit? 68 seems way too high.

Finally, is there a way that Faux could release his kernel at 1.1 ghz. My phone does great at the speed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
He did release one that only went to 1.1 ghz I thought it was on the OP. Looked and it's not. Maybe I have it sitting around somewhere.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] W3BSurfer:
Really..wow. Thats BS. The creator also abandoned this app. Dammit. Such a nice launcher too.

Im gonna try it and see if that solves the issue. Weird though that it was working last week with no problem watsover.

Thanks for the reply.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
I'm having the issue with awd ex as well so that's not an entirely accurate description....

if that's the only explanation at this point, if you're going to use this kernel on stock gingerbread, seems like the blur launcher is your only option... Unless you don't mind constantly replacing widgets.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coldfusionb:
What is to hot for the CPU? How hot can it get before it starts damaging my phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
My phone is screaming fast with 1.45 oc kernel and aura (debloat edition) and i'm having no heat issues whatsoever. Thanks faux! This is damn nice!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lilhaiti:
The widget issue can be fixed by removing all widgets, fixing permissions in rom manager, rebooting, then replacing widgets
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yeahmann:
From what I can tell, everyone's able to run at 1300 mV but not everyone can run at 1400 mV. Also, everyone seems to be able to UV at least 50 mV. So may I suggest a few different kernel builds.

1.05 GHz: Stock steps - 1.0 GHz step + 1.05 GHz (1000 mV) step

1.2 GHz: 1.05 GHz (1000 mv), 1.2 GHz (1150 mV)

1.35 GHz: 1.05 (1000), 1.2 (1150), 1.35 (1300)

1.45 GHZ: 1.05 (1000), 1.2 (1150), 1.35 (1300), 1.45 (1400)

1.45 GHz UV: 1.05 (1000), 1.2 (1100), 1.35 (1200), 1.45 (1300) (for those of us with tegrapart 1100 who can run stable at 1.45 GHz but need to take extreme measures to boot at 1400 mV, like letting the phone cool in the fridge)

Experimental builds:

1.5 GHZ: 1.05 (1000), 1.2 (1150), 1.35 (1300), 1.5 (1400)

1.5 GHz UV: 1.05 (1000), 1.2 (1100), 1.35 (1200), 1.5 (1300)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
I've got a profile set at battery<101 and it seems to do the trick. Now, I don't pop into SetCPU every 5 seconds to check but it's working as far as I can tell.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
It doesn't. Check the 'time in state' and you'll see that it still uses the 1.45Ghz.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
Well that sucks. Oh well, it's still a screaming machine and it's not killing my battery unless I make it happen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Antzor:
Using the 1ghz kernel because I like battery life and WOW this is great, even better than 0.2.0?!

greta work faux, was the bug that kept the second core at 1ghz or whatever fixed? it seems I can actually underclock now

edit:

Things that seem improved so far, I'm going to add some and remove any if I find them not to be the case but..

1) Battery life further improved

2) Home screen more responsive

3) I can actually set clock speeds without them reverting to 1ghz now

4) System overall more responsive

5) Data connectivity better, including wifi AND 3g. 3g won't lose connection randomly so far (never did often before)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
Setcpu doesn't work for dropping the speed. Romtoolbox does though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
I don't remember Rom Toolbox allowing you to UV, though. Has that changed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] supermerkin:
What tools are you guys using for uv purposes?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
SetCPU does it just fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] W3BSurfer:
Im trying it now and it seems to have worked. Ill try flashing the new 0.2.1 and see if it does give me the error still.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] iRobby:
Yes, I didn't think anyone would catch that, haha.

Sent from my CM860 ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
incorrect... may fix problem temporarily, but widget problem will persist eventually. I have had the problem of loosing my widgets on multiple launchers & ROMs. The only ROM I have let to have this issue on is CM7, and as far as I can tell no one else is having this problem on CM7... leads me to believe it has to be an issue w/ kernel & some part of motoblur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] W3BSurfer:
Im not using this on stock GB and not intending to. Kinda useless to flash the rom/kernel if in the end ill only be using this on a stock GB. :rolleyes:

I applied the fix permission on CWM and changed to using Go Launcher EX on 0.2.1. A few reboots and seems to have fix the issue. Currently in the process of calibrating the batt. :cool:

Im hoping it would stay this way. Im really not into using CM7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Your opinions, and wrong advice = fail... Move along.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
It does for me, screen has been on for 2+ hours today and my time in state doesn't even show me at 1.45 GHz (except for when it was first flashed, time in state for 1.45 GHz was 2.13% last time I checked). I have a profile set to 216/1200 min/max at battery<100%. Don't know what you're doing wrong but mine has not run at 1.45 GHz since I first flashed the kernel. I am however using your UV settings and I must say works like a charm, very cool, extremely responsive and silky smooth.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChaosMinionX:
Some of you guys having force close issues....

Verify that you are using the proper ROM files... stupid I know, but double check.

If youd like to do a full "OCD" cleanup of your phone before installing a new ROM do the following...

-Reboot CWM

-Clear Cache

-Clear Dalvik

-Factory Data Wipe (dont include SD-EXT)

-go into Storage/Mounts and format System (do this even if the ROM claims to wipe system during install)

-Reboot system, this time go into Fastboot and run command "Fastboot -w" and reboot back into recovery.

-Install ROM (or base ROM, if the ROM you use works off updates IE- HomeBase)

-Reboot System, let it load all the way into the OS and sit there for a few minutes while it does first startup stuff.

-Reboot Recovery

-Wipe Cache

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Install Update ROM (again, if your ROM uses an update structure which most ROMs do)

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Reboot into OS again and let it finish loading all the way.

-Do a battery pull for a few minutes, plug it back in and boot into recovery (power button + vol down menu/ android recovery)

-Once back into recovery, goto advanced/fix permissions

-after permissions are fixed again, reboot into OS and start using normally and see if you still get FC problems.

While some of the above steps may seem redundant I have yet to see FC problems using most ROMs with EXT4 w/o Journaling.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
No undervolting but it has a governer which actually works. Or I can manually slide the cpu speed to where I want it and it won't go over like setcpu. I think whatever program clears the davlikdm runs nonstop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rozzco:
Donated...again! Great work.:p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Just donated too.

Was going to donate at 1.5GHz release but this is good enough for me!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Hmm... interesting. Try running a benchmark because I think that'll make the second core work. Also, when checking time in state, don't look at percentage, look at the ms.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

I also want to point out that battery life for the 1.45Ghz kernel is actually pretty good after UV'ed. With medium usage, I still got 20% left and phone's been going for 10hours now. After fixing a few wakelock stuff and recalibrating battery (as I was draining battery for recalibration), I must say Faux123, you've done a tremendous job!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Battery been running for 10h 37m, screen on time has been 2h 23m and time in state in 1450 is 2436 ms, time in state for 1200 (what my max is actually set to as well as my profile for battery<%100) is 123119 ms.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cachookaman:
just flashed the update and my phone got stuck in a constant boot loop. im using the latest romracer cwm recovery and im running the latest aura ROM. i had to reflash back to 0.2.0. luckily i still had that version saved on my internal memory.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
11:45 Hours and 2:22 hours screen on at 12% right now. 28.6% at 1450
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MyronJ906:
And you are using SetCPU? I find that most peculiar. Or really rather intriguing. Have you tried moving your finger around the screen on the default screen that shows minimum, maximum, and current frequency? It should jump to 1450 despite you setting 1200.

Not saying that you are lying or anything I just don't see why you would be subject to something different from the rest of us and if you actually are then I would like to learn the trick.

I know that if set to 1000 as maximum, the processor will not jump above that. So what I have been doing personally is running the 1450 OC but limiting to 1000 and then manually scaling up if I want to show off. Might use Tasker to automatically kick it up for certain applications
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChaosMinionX:
I think SetCPU just has a bug in detecting or setting frequencies on the new kernels, I am leaning toward detection since I set some settings 1.5 couldnt possibly run at and the phone did not reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Interesting, my webtop panels are half working, it does not stay black anymore, icons all loads but it does stay locked, can't use it at all. and webtop-panel uses a LOT of system performance, once it has been hooked up to HDMI, only reboot will fix this issue, otherwise it keeps on staying at 1450 constantly and makes my phone bake cakes :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
You might be right. I had this problem with every new kernel. I don't believe it's happened since I moved to CM7. Good thinking.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I think we should list our tegra part if we have the widgets issue. I have d00, only had it once when my battery went completely flat, other than that, no issues on all the kernels I have tried.

but I see lots people have 1100 when they talk about undervolting, which lead me think most of you have 1100, and might be a compatibility issue with the hardware??

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

FML, my widgets just all disappeared.... very unusual
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I have 1100 and I've never once had problems with my widgets not loading using faux's kernel and I've had my phone since August 17th. I think it might have to do with users not fully wiping their phone and having left overs from a previous rom or an issue with permissions. Faux said it only happens with Launcher Pro due to the code expecting the phone to run at stock frequency and then messing up due to OC except it happens with the 1.0 Ghz kernel too so I'm unsure.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I have been running Faux's ever since 1.3GHz, but this time when it happened, my battery was at 3%, this is only the second time that it has messed up like this, and both cases has been about low battery.

Maybe this is a start?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Same thing for me. Someone else claimed that they got it working, but I have made multiple tries and no luck.

Luckily her 0.1.9 still works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
I have DOo always with Faux. I had widget issues until I switched to golauncher ex havbt had a problem since september
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Yes I am. I have played around with the default/home screen where it shows minimum and maximum and current frequency, if I don't have the profiles enabled yes it will jump to 1450 MHz even if the processor is set max to 1200 MHz or 1000 whatever it may be. Once I enabled profiles and set maximum to 1200, 1000, etc. and a profile with 216/1200, 1000, etc. when battery<100% I rarely am in the 1450 MHz state.

Right now after 15 hours on battery and 3+ hours of display time I have 8347 ms in 1450 MHz or 1.03% and that was when the kernel was first flashed at the very beginning of the day. That is why I think my min/max combined with my profile is doing the trick, maybe just an illusion but to me it seems to have worked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chronicfathead:
I have been having the widget issue.

I'm on Aura 1.2.2.1 de-blur edition.

I'm a d00 ATRIX.

I use setcpu with profiles that drop speed when the screen is off, when charging, and when the battery goes below 40.

I have also had issues where the phone becomes very unresponsive, and it seems to happen when the battery starts to get low and the speed changes. I also had this issue running homebase, so I think its possibly the kernel or a weird issue with the battery. Both times I've noticed it happen, I've been running the 1.3 or 1.45Ghz kernels.

Any thoughts?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ClearFire:
I have been using faux kernel since 1.1ghz-1.45ghz gb on Ninja SF, Alien 1,2,3,4 and 1.3ghz-1.45ghz on cm7 and had

absolutely

NO issues with widgets. I have let my phone die many times (especially on cm7) and the phone has worked exceptionally well all around. My only issue is CM7 and the battery life versus alien 4 or ninja SF... And yes I know how to and have set up underclocking methods but minimal improvement with battery life

I recently went back to Alien 4 with 1.45ghz kernel, let it run down to 1% after not being charged for almost three days (2days 17hours) and I have had no issues like the ones everyone else is referring too...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Hey faux, great kernel, battery life and performance is fantastic, i have still however found two glitches in the enhanced kernel (the 0.21 version): setcup max speed still isnt working properly, if you set it to 912 mhz as max, it just goes over to 1ghz again, like known from before, yet if you set it to 750mhz it will stick, but it only uses one core permanently (i tried it with several apps and monitored the core behavior), so it doesnt turn the second one on. im running all of this on aura deblur 1.2.2.1 . I have to say though even running one core at 750mhz the phone seems fluid at those speeds, which is amazing and it should bring unbelievable battery life. even when running cf bench with both 750 or 1ghz max the phone barely gets warm. (i have all freqs undervolted for -50mv).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
I've just been looking at the changelog and noticed in 0.2:

'added fixes from Photon 4g source'

Could this be affecting the webtop bug?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] faux123:
Hi, I have read the feedback from you guys and I want to say THANKS for all the support!

Now back to geeky side of things:

1. NOT all phones/chips are created equal. The reason I released 1.3 GHz a while ago was because it was ABSOLUTELY stable for EVERYONE, but the new 1.45 GHz MAY NOT be completely stable for every phone. We are really pushing its limits @ 1.45 GHz. Also if possible, UV will help to reduce the heat a bit. (I will release a 1.3 GHz version later on.. check OP for them)

2. I AM still WORKING on the fix for DVFS bug with setCPU. The kernel STILL has issues with frequency control. DVFS is such a beast, it is very very difficult to track down and I still DO NOT completely understand how it works... it is the MOST complicated code I read so far and it's HUGE and pervasive (ie, it is USED by EVERYTHING involving clocks / voltage control). One of my reasons I released my version 021 was due to the fact while I was still updating my open source github with bug fixes, I was being kanged before my own release, so I decided to release this version (my hands were forced.. Thanks to certain person).

3. I will talk with the team regarding the webtop issues. Webtop has 2 major issues, first being the DVFS runs @ full MAX frequency the entire time, which causes overheating and battery drain (related to the 2nd bug above). Second, webtop has issues with my kernel since 020 as reported by a few users and some of them suspect the photon 4G code being the culprit.

I am reading the threads, just I don't have lots of free time during weekdays... weekends are the time where I get the most hacking done! Please be patient. The ENTIRE Atrix-dev-team WORKS EVERYDAY (we are on our IRC 24/7 since inception) trying to squash every last bug out of CM7 and kernel. Please give some props to my team mates who may not be as visible as I :cool:

Faux123, how can I remove the Wi-Fi driver? It's having a negative effect with my phone and it doesn't always connect. I thought it was a modem issue, but I tried Kholk's kernel and the issue is gone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Simply put the driver is what makes the wireless work, without it wireless wouldn't work at all. I've been having this issue with all of Faux's kernels from 0.1.6 to 0.2.1 though it rarely happens with 0.2.1. It's a pain but all you can do is disable Wi-Fi and re-enable it in the Wi-Fi settings instead of using a toggle. It's not a baseband issue because it happens with 01.77.30, 01.97.00, and 01.100.00.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PhillyBlunt474:
Just wanted to thank Faux again and the Atrix-dev-team again for all their hard work. I flashed from the 1.3 GHz kernel to the optimized 1.0GHz kernel, and even with fairly conservative UV settings I am getting unreal battery life.

Thanks a ton!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Set a profile for battery<%100 216/912 MHz and you should be fine. I do the same but set my profile at battery<%100 216/1000 MHz and my phone is rarely in the 1200, 1300, 1450 state.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Aha thanks for the advice, it's not something that bothers me greatly, just wanted to report to faux about the issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Yeah I think he is already well aware but the profile seems to do the trick. Just set it the maximum to whatever you want the phone to run at while the screen is on and it won't jump past that state. Has served me well and probably has saved me a good few hours of battery life.
