Hello,

i tried all suggested gps fixes and variants in nova rom and finally checked the debug log (logcat and gps detail log) and finally realized...

- the gps.conf is not related to the used supl agps server, it comes from framework.*

- all changes in the hidden menu / gps config are reverted after reboot to values in java code in framework.*

- after downloading agps data NO AGPS DATA is used (tested with "GPS status", real AGPS means all satelites would be yellow/with ephemeris data from the beginning, blue if almanac data is available)

can anybody confirm this? has someone almanac data in use (blue colored sattelites in "GPS status")?

i try to use wlan for agps update, no data plan, so i try mostly without data enabled - can this work?

i patched framework, but failed with re-signing it (my first - but not last bootloop)

thanks,

Andreas
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Can U detail form where you read the logs?

For framework issues, talk to antonio1475...
[LG Optimus Black] cyclon1978:
adb logcat > g.log

grep g.log for... supl for example:

D/GpsLocationProvider( 1767): updateNetworkState :true, mMolrProtocol:1,mSlpAddress :supl.google.com

This comes up if wlan/network is enabled and causes the GpsLocationProvider.java to download agps data and inject it in gps hardware - with no success in my opinion ;-)

You can also enable gps log in hidden menu (gps test/misc/log enable), this will write a logfile in /data/gps/log

greetings,

Andreas
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Ok, i'll take a look at it later, thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
It's true... with sony ericsson supl server configured at gps.conf, I obtain the same line like yours:

D/GpsLocationProvider( 1807): updateNetworkState :false, mMolrProtocol:1,mSlpAddress :supl.google.com

Using logcat I can take the log, but via Hidden Menu and activating the log I can't see anything at /data/gps/log

Then, trying to understand your research:

- To type a different supl at gps.conf doesn't make anything.

- OB uses at default supl.google.com

- Changes at Hidden Menu returns to default after a reboot.

What can We do then?

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
To say that in my first attempt to fix gps with gps status, app downloads agps data, and the sats become yellow. If I try to fix gps another time minutes later, the phone doesn't download any and the sats appear yellow from the begining.

I haven't seen any blue sat.
[LG Optimus Black] cyclon1978:
There is an application named smali and baksmali to disassemble the framework file from lib directory, and in these files there is a logic which chooses the agps provider depending on sim card provider... easy to change but my first try didnt work because i tried to sign it - maybe that is not necessary. Also i tried to write an app which directly accesses the libgps.so to set the values, but i failed too... on cyanogenmod with htc desire that was easy, but with original roms the access is forbidden... for non-system applications. And that means i have to sign with original key which is not available.

Maybe someone tried something like that? I am sure it can be done.

The missing "blue" in gps status is really a problem, in the gps test in hidden menu you can see next to the sattelite data, ephemeris and almanach - in theory both values should switch to true after some time, downloaded from satelite...

[LG Optimus Black] digitalfrost:
I don't think setting CONFIG_HZ=100 was a good idea. Nova v5 is very laggy for me when scrolling lists. With any interactive system CONFIG_HZ=1000 is the way to go IMHO.

This phone has a 1Ghz CPU, waiting 10ms for a timer interrupt is just very inefficient in my opinion. Let's say you have an process which requires 11ms to finish. It will occupy two time slots of 10ms each, thus requiring 20ms to finish a job that could've been done in 11ms which is a huge overhead.

During this time it will block the CPU for other processes as the scheduler can only switch tasks when an interrupt occurs.

Please set it back to 1000Hz.
[LG Optimus Black] haitzo:
Just tried nova v5 and neither setcpu and cpu master is working, black screen and then FC, it seems the fault is related to SU permission (in setcpu this happens when I click in accept on SU permission).

Until now the rom is running like a rocket.

Why are just 6 pages of post in this topic?

Cheersssss
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Aha, this is Quasar, the kernel. Nova is in separate thread. :-)

I find Simple I/O more stable but VR peaks, sometimes it's slower than SIO, sometimes faster.

Let's try out VR in this v5. :)

Set back to 1000Hz? This isn't a desktop!

In desktops setting CONFIG_HZ to 1000Hz makes a huge difference.

In smartphones? not really. Default value was 128 (what the **** LG), for v3 I changed to 300, for v5 to 100. Changing this value doesn't seem to have any effect at all (v5 is not laggy scrolling lists, it's your problem), only cause a performance decay.

I discussed this with franciscofranco who has kernels for 3 devices and he agrees that changing config_hz does nothing except eating battery.

My SetCPU works fine, I App Inj'ed it.

When I have time, sure.

For the time being, it's only v3 available.
[LG Optimus Black] knoxious:
As the Wifi signal issue, it turns full bar when you download something from the market.

After a while, it stays at 1 bar all the time.

Not a complain, just a feedback :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Minor update.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
same issue
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Tell us more please about v7 kernel with stock ROM:

- what is quadrant score ?

- how is battery performance ?

-overall performance ( any screen lags )

- touchscreen response

- wifi problem - is it only bad indication ( while range is OK ) ?
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
same here too
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Am I blind or what ? Can't see the link to Quasar V7 download.. V3 only.

???
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
knzo, you've update the kernel to v8. Can we see the source? :)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
You have said that to increase CONFIG_HZ didn't improve...

Why now CONFIG_HZ changed to 200?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Haven't uploaded it yet.

I will now only upload it for gingerbread's kernel.

As for CONFIG_HZ, it's for testing purposes.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
hey dude,have you fixed the wifi icon issue in new version?

and in v7,when i use smartass2, screen off and then screen on,cpu frequency will stay at 1000mhz,hope you fixed it in v8 too:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
No, wifi icon issue is still there.

I'll test that frequency thing tonight.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Hum, it works but the ramping is slower than InteractiveX for example.

What I did was create this script:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Suspend profile confirmer

wait=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep`;
sleep 60;
freq=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq`;
echo "$freq" >> /sdcard/freqtest.txt;

And then increase or decrease sleep time.

Just execute it on terminal and then screen off the phone (don't do it while it's charging!).

So, what this does is: when phone goes to sleep (screen off), it waits 30-60-120-180 seconds and then registers the frequency in that file.

For InteractiveX, 60 seconds = 300 Mhz. For Smartass2, 60 seconds = 500 Mhz.

Conclusion: ramping is slower for Smartass2. Now, remember that if ramping is too fast, especially when going down = more battery is consumed.

Now do your own tests.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
And since we're at it, here's Smartass2 configuration I did:

/******************** Tunable parameters: ********************/

* twards the ideal frequency and slower after it has passed it. Similarly,

Please change the topic as current is misleading. I think it should be ( taking in mind: I will now only upload it for gingerbread's kernel.):

"[KERNEL] Quasar v8 | Latest release: 31/8/2011"

as it is not available to current stock ROM
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Done, made a package for stock ROMs.

I thought there was no one using it anyway.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
yeah when i use v7 ,set governor to smartass2,screen off,and then open setcpu,frequency shows 1000mhz,and in fact my max frequence is 800mhz!got the same result in quadrant advanced.but i check the files in proc/overlock ,it shows like we set
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Thanks. I'll give it a try as I'll get back from work.

--------------------------------

Could not wait so long. flashed v.8 kernel over 10E ROM. Seems to work like rocket :)
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
It says:

"Now available for stock ROMs!"

but updater-script says:

"mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/system");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/dev/zero", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/boot.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");

delete("/tmp/boot.img");

unmount("/system"); "

Now..

1. I knew that stock roms uses ext3.. and Nova uses ext4...

2. Stock roms get's busybox installed in the root process? Or I have to install it prior to flash this kernel? How?

3. Antonio's Gingerbread theme with power menu improvements require custom kernel? (V3 or current version) Because I flashed Antonio's V9 and phone ended up bricked ..

Thank you and Antonio for your amazing work. You're awesome!

I use now V10E with antonio's gingerbread (modified by me.)
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
LOL

I am still crying and laughing:D:D:D You made my day dude :D Thx.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Pleased to make you happy.

Anyway, this requires explanation: I used antonio's gingerbread v8 .. Then changed battery icons... Later changed spinner and other few icons(volume, emergency etc.) That's why I say thanks! But since v9 antonio introduced power menu reboot and reboot recovery. When I tried to use v9... the result was a brick. I am on stock v10E rooted and "improved", so I don't blame antonio for my unsuccessfull flash. I think that in Nova v9 and newer versions work flawless.

And.. yes, I was hilarious.. you were meaning..

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yeah I forgot to change ext4 to ext3 but thankfully, the wireless module didn't need to be updated.

So, if v8 doesn't have wireless on stock ROM just tell me and I'll fix it. Otherwise it's good as it is.

Regarding the themes, some files are v10c-specific, you can't use them on v10e, hence, brick.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
The range and speed of wireless is OK ( I just checked and compared the performance with stock kernel), but the level indicator is still bad - usually shows little signal strength. ( even if I almost sit on the router :D)

I did the kernel update on the stock V10A. Worked from the first try from recovery menu with CWM. So far it seems to have helped, browsing and overall speed was increased! Are there any other new settings/tweaks enabled somewhere in the phone menu?

P.S. This is a FREAKIN QUASAR V8 KERNEL TOPIC, NOT A NOVA V8, so the one who should use search wisely, is YOU.

You gave a link where they discuss about a mirror of NOVA V8, not a Quasar kernel v8 for froyo rom.
