[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
The problem is in the kernel (and possibly hardware) in that it has no method of working out whether a 4-pole or 3-pole device has been connected. I'm not sure whether it's possible to modify something like the htc headset switch driver to get it to work or if the hardware can even support it.

It's a pretty simple modification to get your old fix working using sysfs. I won't spoil your fun though if you'd like to work it out yourself. PM me if you want any help with it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
Can we use ZRAM and Juwe's ram optimization at the same time? Or ZRAM is better?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Obviously, one doesn't have to do with the other...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Its a good question.

But should we use both or choose one over the other?

If yes, which one you suggest?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
But ZRAM and that script are two different things, I don't see why is it a question. You can have the two, have one of 'em, not have either of the two... It's just two different things.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Sorry don't understand nothing about this.

If we want to install the zram, should we delete the script first?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Sorry but I'll have to speak in portuguese now.

Não quero ser arrogante, mas vai ser a terceira vez que vou dizer isto: ZRAM e a merda do script não têm nada a ver um com o outro, podes ter os dois ao mesmo tempo, podes so ter o ZRAM ou o script, podes não ter nenhum, não têm nada a ver um com o outro, acho que não é dificil perceber isso agora ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bezelbu:

If you wanna trash talk about someones WORK do it in your own little world.

'Till then when you do something and get criticized just like you did in some posts you'll feel the sting

I'm just joking with francisco.....

Talking trash??? of what, francisco's work? He is the king the best,master of the Kung Fu.

What is your problem?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I noticed that to on OEX, decrease of benchmark test results but stable and instability on new MIUI
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
Well, posted here too, maybe it's a problem that FF should look at! Regards!

EDIT: In MIUI ROM
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Dunno really. I'm not gonna change much more because official gingerbread should be coming soon and with it the .35 kernel..and I have no idea what can cause that **** to be honest.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dream-LinChuan:
I also found this problem
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dream-LinChuan:
really，It‘s a good news
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I also have MIUI and also after installing FFranco kernel start having these issues + couldn't receive sms and MMS, but could send + constant reboot.

The solution I found was reboot into CWM and make the 3 wipes (Data/Cache/davilk). Reboot system and all work out ok.

Just try it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
It's possible to do a logcat? when it froze? maybe it will help...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Yes logcats are very helpful!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
Well i don't understand a thing that is in here, but i run logcat, unlock phone -> MIUI music app -> push next music until "buffering appears" -> let it leave until locks -> try to unlock menu = fail!

Hope U can see this in this mess xD

please check the new kernel for new cm7 and new boot and fix the problems thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
well I recommend you using the provided kernel by geno for the last release of CM7. I've been testing with franciscofranco kernel and its noticiable some issues regarding stability, smoothness and performance loss.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
I think that led settings from the stockwell's x5 app doesn't work with your kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nikoo.lu:
Does this release compatible with latest Oxygen_2.2.2_r1_U8800 rom from dzo?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I know, should be fixed in the next update.

dzo said that yes it works so yes it should work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] swayjd:
earlier you said you were going to release a new kernel for the r1 version, your not anymore?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I am, but I am waiting for stockwell to update his rom because of the initrd changes. Just be patient.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mixail777:
Does this release compatible with [ROM] B160 - New OC Kernel, Root, Wifi-tether?

Thanks in advance

Never mind i installed it and it works just fine!!!

Do you know how can i disable vibration of the home keys?

I am asking this because before the update there was no vibration!

Thanks!

Hello.

I have make a fresh install from the latest version of oxygen2.2.2_r1-u8800,

and i have download the kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo,

when i go in recovery mode and try to install the kernel i have this error:

E:Can't open /sdcard/Downloads/Programas/Root/kernel-2.6.32-U8800-Froyo.tar.zip (bad)

Installation aborted

Any help??

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
that file is the kernel source, and is not supposed to be used that way..

just forget about the file, its not meant for u.. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Sigh...intelligence is something that people don't like to use here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
can i use this on the stock (tmn) rom?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
This kernel is only for void, miui and oxygen, because each download uses the respective boot.img of each rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lancexxiii:
Thank you very much, i accidentally downloaded oxygen instead of void.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Hello Franco,

It would be too much if I ask if you can something similar from the B137 stock boot.img? :D

Here you have it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I cant do it for every rom. Download it, extract the zimage from one of the downloads, unpack your rom boot.img, replace the zimage, pack, flash done.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
This is really awesome, mega boost on Oxygen thanks! :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Thanks franco. I am not a developer and I just have android for 2 weeks now, so what you just write seems chinese to me. :) But anyway, I will give a try next weekend.

Good work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cacceli:
So i have now void draco can i flash oxygen on it? Or i have to take void?

sorry bad english
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
Use same procedure as to flash void: wipe data/cache and dalvik and install from SD card the .zip file ( I believe its the same method as void)

Notice you can't install oxygen kernel with void Rom. Each kernel was made for each of the 3 different Roms.

Btw, which of the 3 ROMs you think has the best overall performance (not considering bugs present in Oxygen and Miui)?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snaker12:
Awesome job!!!Keep up my friend and thanks a lot for the hard work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cacceli:
Do i have to wipe dalvik cache when i instal it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
I didn't do it and it works great!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cooldfuzion:
Muito porreiro o teu Kernel :) thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] *M*:
Graphics look kinda blury in 3D games with this kernel

Can you make a version without the KGSL changes?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeostarNeko:
....hmm I might give this a go later in the week but not sure as I prefer to stick to a stock rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
Just moved from void to MIUI ROM with your kernel and its pretty awesome. Loving it right now!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeoRCZ:
But this kernel is not the same as we have in the Void # draco??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
They don't look blury to me and I play a lot of ps1 emulator. Sorry I can't just release a different kernel for every bit of changes the users don't like :/

No it isn't.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cacceli:
How long time instal takes? It installed it in 1 sec
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
Its fast since its only the kernel not the full ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
franco, is possibe to do undervolt on your kernel? because we could imnprove the battery life a lot, something like 30% or more.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Kernel is undervolted. The lower frequencies have lower voltage than the higher ones, I think that's obvious.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
yes, so sorry i dint knew it. so at 1 ghz the voltage is the same like 800 mhz?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lc1975:
Im no expert on this.

Thanks for the explanation

:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lc1975:
I do not understand this stuff

is all new to me.

I have no experience in these things

For those who know how to do things is easy to talk ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skyseel:
I didn't know at first also, how to do things. Here is what I did:

1. Use search (google or forum search here)

2. Experiment

3. See the results :-)

It's like going to school, learning new stuff and then passing the exam (flashing your phone). If you do not hold that much patience, to learn, instead of asking questions that have been answered 100 times before, then my friend, this board is not for you :-)

Regards,

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
I have seen someone on other thread inform that you have a new version date 28082011 but cannot find it here. Would you confirm it is real? And may I use it with MIUI 1.8.26 by stockwell?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
he has a oxygen only kernel. You can find it in Oxygen threat.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Today I'll release an update for Oxygen and MIUI, but only later.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
But for oxigen is the one that youhad already release or is a new version?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
muito obrigado franco:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
No, will be a newer one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skyseel:
@franciscofranco: The 28Aug kernel applied on Oxygen looks VERY good for my battery (testing few hours now, still @ 100%). without your tweaked kernel, percentage drops quite fast. thanks for the awesome work :)

I also had some speakerphone / echoes issues before applying your kernel. Have you done some tweaks in that matter? Cause it seems to improve it somehow.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
With stock kernel and O2 2.2.2, my battery drains very quick.

Did you cleared cache/data before installation?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skyseel:
Only wiped cache/data when installing Oxygen ROM. Francisco kernel can only be applied to MIUI and Oxygen ROM. So first install the ROM (wipe), then apply the kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Already preparing the kernels
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
Can't we use on cm7 port ? It would be nice.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] levibuko:
does this kernel support init.d?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
init.d is rom's buisness.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] clpdj:
Hello Franco, wen will you release de new kernet for the new miui, (v26).... ihave the new miui beta 26 in PT, and i am willing to get your new kernel on it...

i know that you released a version of it for oxygen in android-pt forum, but I need the Miui version... any chance onf it for today, or tomorow until mid-day ?

desculpa a pressa franco, um abraço:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:

u found the fix before i posted! 8)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Haha thanks! It seems related. I even remember reading just that post yesterday or something :D The strange thing is that this happend just after I flasher fK 30 AUG from fK 28 AUG.

I'm back on 28 now but will try 30 again.

EDIT: Will zram really help this device much? I mean we already have alot of RAM or is it making it faster anyways?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
yup that's all!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Have anyone tried with and without ZRAM? Benchmarks and quick if the battery took a plunge from it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] swayjd:
I have been with and without it, i don't notice anything.

If you ask me wether I use it or not nowadays. yeah I do, if franco thinks it's better who am I to say different?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zerog2:
thanks.

I would like to know:

1). do I just flash it as flashing a rom?

2). In case (just in case), if I failed to flash the kernel or something wrong after flash, do I just re-flash the rom and restore my previous backup?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
I'm going to try it now, just a bit curious as to why it isn't included directly?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
I think it's already added in the kernel.... at least is what the changelog says
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Waiting CM to update and use this kernel. there is no better combo then CM7+Franco kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Well the kernel support it but you need to initalize

"ZRAM initializer for franco.Kernel 04082011 or newer"

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
nice, so for me is the best governor at the moment, when i was using oxigen with this, i had battery for 28 hours, much better than before ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Exactly. The kernel has the ZRAM code, but for the device to use ZRAM it needs the initializer that I provide!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
What zRam does?

28 is nothing if you just text'ed and most of the time phone was in deep sleep. With CM7 28hours is minimum for me :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
The explanation is in the first post...

http://lwn.net/Articles/388889/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok, but with the cm7, the proble is that the data connections is always falling, and i need to have my gmail and hotmail always on, but of course i didnt try the last version yet.

for now i have the miui
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Thanks. So i can flash zRAM with your august 24th kernel?

I do not use mobile data so don't know. But for me the CM7 is best for battery life. But i think this is tranks to Franco cause i use his kernel in every rom :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
and you are having problems with the connection? during calling and the rest? and what are the steps for the new rom of cm7, because there is more files
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
I was just wondering why you didn't include per default in the kernel package if there was no backside to using zram?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
No i just don't use mobile data it's very expensive, so i can't tell is there any issues or not.

In this http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/zramperf zRAM sucks big time. so don't know why there is need to use it ??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
It compresses it too check the comments on that page.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
The thing is that-i do not understand what is use of this? Nobody explains in human language :D So let's say i install it..should i do something else to configure it or phone will use it and i feel something positive in performance?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
As I've read you should feel performance in the matter that you can have more apps in the RAM. When Android runs out of free RAM-memory it closes apps. But now you can have more apps lying in RAM (compressed in zram or what you call it) then it's faster to start those apps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I made it optional, its a design choice, I want users to have some power to decide what they want. I have it enabled in my device.

ZRAM isnt for performance boosts, its way to compressed swap pages into a compressed memory block. Theres nothing more to add about ZRAM I already explained everything.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Thanks for the explanation! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
good explanations were given here.

but franco, for when a kernel for the cm7?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Micco85:
Hi, just benchmarked. Oxygen 2.2.2 r1 + superboot

AnTuTu, 1.6GHz:

Scores didn't change. about 3660.

Quadrant Standard, 1.6GHz:

Without franco and zram: 2750

With franco but no zram: 2840

With franco and zram: 2950

(sometimes i got over 3100 4 times in a row)

1.6GHz seems stable with or without franco or zram. (Running tests about 10 times in a row)

Dont know how reliable those scores actually are.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Overall score says nothing about I/O, better to post only I/O scores and differences :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
And, if zram actually has "the ability to handle any kind of I/O request" which is the most versatile/effective I/O scheduler to use with it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
This is my first try with custom kernel. And things have been going well. No FC, better battery.

But, installed with with Oxygen r1, I have 2 concerns: my phone is quite warm, and no more "power save" governor. If battery life is my most important factor, which governor shloud I try?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Don't need to change that, it's already using the best one: VR.

Scary governor if you want battery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] shantam:
The best and stable kernel till date battery timing is good also i think after adding zram camera is taking videos and 30fps even in indoor
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Soo which governor do you use? :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Well, he said scary governor... I don't know how he could be more clear :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
That was just a recommendation if you just want more battery, not performance/battery. So I'm wondering which he is using.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Using smartass2 ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Thanks, I'm using that too! Do you think an Android will ever ship with things like smartass2 governor and VR stock?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
probably yes.but it could be an marketing option. like in cars ecu reprogramming.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
And when can have also this new governor on the cm7, smartass 2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Second time you're asking "when cm kernel" "when governor cm". Read the changelog ffs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Lol, carago, entre tugas podemos mandar caralhadas uns aos outros em português :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] calmet:
franco you say for long battery you must use smartessv2 and scary ...which one is true(1-scary 2-smartessv2 3- other)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
He said for long battery time use Scary

I then asked which one he used and it was smartassv2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
Pessoalmente não gosto, desculpa :mad::mad::mad:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
My understand is that Scary is for battery, but the tradeoff is performance.

Smartass is for the best balance between battery and performance.

Does flashing the latest version require reflashing zram or will it remain initialized? And to avoid this question in the future, how can I check, if I still have it working or not? Using Root Explorer and going to a certain file?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
Hi Franco,

I have one question: where is the battery state data stored? It's in the kernel, in rom, or in data, or somewhere else?

When I install new rom/new kernel/wipe data, will this battery data be wiped?

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Just updated to your latest kernel release. No problems so far on MIUI :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Is there a difference if i install this update with CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5 or 4.1.0.5 ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
When i put CPU Governor on "SCARY" whole telephone is laggy and it runs on slow motion. When i put back on "smartassV2" it runs like a hell :)

anyone has the same experience?

MIUI 1.8.26 + 31. AUG francos kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] swayjd:
thats cause scary governor is not meant for performance. Its meant for battery.

edit: wondering why in this release the file got considerably smaller.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
ZRAM its only needed to flash once per ROM instalation so don't worry.

The file got way smaller because I changed the compiling flags and now it's 2,5mb again ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] clpdj:
Franco can you help me ? I am using miui xxx.26 and your kernel from today (31-08-11) and the maximum speed i can put the cpu is 1.6ghz, in the older versions of your kernel I went all the way up to 1.8 (with no crash etc...)

can you put the cpu to go to 1.8 in your kernel again ?

obrigado por tudo e parabens pelo trabalho, ta como costuma a dizer, de puta madre xD
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
