Thank you faux for coming in and being a man about this issue. I appreciate the work you do even though I don't use your kernel currently. The work that you do goes into kernels like this one that work a little better for MIUI, so in a way it's an extension of your diligent work and I certainly don't forget where that stems from. Ttabbal, thank you as well. I am extremely picky about my kernels and your suits me perfectly, that's tough to do. The compcache is working great and I'm looking forward to 1.2!

Please continue sharing.

My spot on edt has nothing to do with this matter here... I have worked with ttabbal a long time... I know the level of respect he has for you and your work... You could have just talked to him... You would see this... I felt his OP was fine... He gave you credit... Made his own tweaks... And you take small parts out of a thread as not giving you credit... Android is about helping one another... building something amazing... Big difference between a kanger and ssomeone not wording his OP and or thread replies to your exacting standards....

You do amazing work... Everyone knows this... I just expected more maturity from someone I had heard such good things about...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
I didn't send a pull request as there wasn't really anything to pull. The mods were to the zcache stuff, the missed patch was my own patch, not anything you missed faux, it wouldn't have made a difference to you as you aren't using zcache. I did have an open invitation to you to pull anything you like from my repo. If you prefer to receive that via github, okay, I can do that I guess. The vibrate fix was a tiny change in the .config, which is published with the kernel. That could have gone as a pull request, but it was so tiny I didn't think it made sense.

My posts about stability were because it hadn't crashed in something like a few hours, and were issues in my changes, not the base code I pulled from you... I still tend to get at least one per day on that kernel. I didn't make any significant code changes, nor did I intend to claim to. It was all on github for anyone to see. Again, if you prefer to see such things made into pull requests, say the word and I'll start sending them your way. I think it's just as easy to cherry-pick them, and I gave you a public invitation to in the OP, but whatever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
Wow Alexia, chillax home slice. Faux worked his butt off to fix the LGE fails and he deserves all the credit where its due. I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating the process was but he pulled it off. I agree with Faux's post that you have to contribute back and give PROPER credit.

One word: synergy... that's what android is about! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Carpet161:
You really swing from his nuts. Ttabbal has been making Kernels forever. He is the one who made my Vibrant run so good. He is not some Kanger. I would have thought Faux would have shown more Respect to his Peer then to call him out on a stupid ****ing Twitter page.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
all the devs, modders, themers, kangers etc should have an all out battle royal in a steel cage match winner takes all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Steel cage, drained pool -- maybe we need a "G2x Developers' Squabbles" forum.

I value faux's and ttabbal's contributions. But I'm not especially well-equipped to understand the context and substance of their complaints against one another. I'm probably not alone in that. I like standing around awkwardly while my friends hash out their grievances as much as the next guy. But this is probably not the right venue is all I'm saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
Eat a bag of 80 year old dicks. I wasn't trying to discredit anyone, I said everyone needs to chill out. All I was saying is that ALL developers deserve proper credit, not just faux.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
shrugs.. My only real complaint is being complained about. :D

Honestly, I don't see anyone being able to convince anyone else. Both sides have said their bit, and I guess it's up to each person to decide what they think about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Ok cool, I would like to use your kernel, I really liked it when I was running it. Fast, handled cache the way I like and super snappy.

If you need tester before releasing it, I would be willing to flash your kernels and report back to you.

Ttabbal has paid his dues... And paid them far before Faux ever came onto the scene... And yet he has to come here and deal with this...

Ttabbal gave due credit a number of times... More then most would... Look at most other OP's... Its a simple name under credits... Looks at ttabbals... Clearly stating source is from Faux... Couldn't be more clear...

Ttabbal has taken the time to explain every little detail to Faux... And yet he shouldn't have too... At least, not here... More so not after being called out as a kanger... Faux as a Dev should have provided Ttabbal as a dev... A little Dev respect...

A real man handles his business DIRECTLY... Not in a public forum... Faux123, as a Dev should know this already!!!

This is why we loose the best Dev's... Guys like Sombionix... Fed up with the crap that comes with being a Dev... Fed up with the crap the android community has to give in return... Simple as that...

Again, Faux as a Dev SHOULD understand this... If he doesn't, its time to learn...

In the end, Faux123 i do wish you the best... And again you do amazing work... But i will say, for me personally... If what you show here, your actions... If this is the sort of man you are... All your work... All your skills... In my eyes, couldn't be worth less... Its the man that makes the beast.... Not the beast that makes the man...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Thanks for the offer. I'll certainly keep it in mind going forward.

Just a matter of misunderstanding

Guys/gals, as a newb and someone who has worked in software for many years, here's my 2 cents as an outsider.

I think this is just a matter of a slight misunderstanding.

It's easy to lose the essence of a message in a faceless forum, with thousands of people chiming in, without context, body-language, or real-time discussion. Knee-jerk reactions here or on twitter are just an unfortunate result.

In reality both faux123 and ttabbal have made invaluable contributions to code-base and G2x community here. There might be a slight difference in expectations on how credit should be given and how the bounty should be shared. Fine, the two fine developers can work that out among themselves. It's more a matter of personal styles than best practices.

That said, reading some of the direct/indirect criticisms of other forum member on faux's kernel I can see why his temperature might have been raised when others were pointing at ttabbal's work to be "better" or more complete.

This would of never happened if users were giving live feedback and the devs were in a room together discussing the issues.

Let's just accept this unfortunate misunderstanding as a result of our virtual digital world and move on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Talking about nut swinging! Lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Did someone do that? I must have missed it. WTF?

The only thing I did was add a couple features I was interested in. I tried to make that plain in the OP. It's possible that helped stability some, but likely it only changed the failure mode slightly.

You have something goofed up on your phone then. :) Script manager should pull up a file browser type interface. If you're getting ROM Manager instead, I'd recommend uninstalling/re-installing both of them just to un-confuse Android.

The situation has been resolved, at least from my perspective, so please refrain from any personal attacks.

I have some minor updates coming, and I'll be starting a second thread for the OTA based kernel as this setup seems more confusing than it's worth. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Indeed good idea fine sir! =)

Are you going to be working on the 2.3.3 somewhat independantly then? I could only imagine if things are okay from a devs perspective, the both of you working on the same kernel will only bring happiness that much faster. If not, of course now worries! Multiple roms + multiple kernels = multiple choices =)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k4p741nkrunch:
It's strange to me that this kernel is based heavily on faux123's kernel, and yet on almost every single release of MIUI I've used, Faux's caused my Wifi to be in 'Error' state 90% of the time, and Dragon kernel works like a charm. Funny thing is that wiping everything and flashing (including data/dalvik/cache and formatting system) the new MIUI then flashing Dragon causes random lockups and reboots. I have to nandroid to an MIUI (1.8.19) that worked great with the rom, then just wipe cache and dalvik then flash the new MIUI (1.9.2) in order to get it to not random reboot. It's all worth it, because MIUI and Dragon kernel go together like lamb and tuna fish! I don't know what you did, but it's plain magic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] morfic:
Taking a kernel you like and giving it your spin is not kanging, it's open source at its best.

You gave credit and stated what your goals were.

Zcache I see used in vorkkernel (o2x)

Anyway have fun with your "kang", feel free to check my git to "kang" anything you may find useful.

You may find regulator changes you could find useful. For that last bit of stability or the last bit of battery savings.

UV of 770mV wont work if regulator doesn't go lower.

Sorry that post just pissed me off and my reply is going all over the place.

What rom??

Did u try wiping cache, dalvik cache?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
a few things....im assuming the APN issue when doing a soft boot is a CM7 thing, and not from your kernel? and another, your new OTA/Weapon thread i noticed...is that the same as this one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Ok....thanks....fauxs only mounts......I've been using benees ext 4 converter to convert the system....this kernel rocks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
One other question and its not really kernel related but since voodoo is in the kernel can voodoo and dsp manager run simultaneously ....sorry ahead of time for cluttering the thread..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Yes. Voodoo adjusts the hardware, dsp manager adjusts the data before it is sent to the hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
The apn bug is a cm7/aosp bug. It happens with every kernel. I have been helping them test some changes, but the root cause is still unknown.

The ota kernel has the same features but is based on the lg source drop with faux's bugfixes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wu_wei_lion:
I'm also having the problem with lock up during boot with v 1.2. I wiped the dalvik cache but I'll try wiping both cache and dalvik and see what that does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
Ok thanks man! Hard reboots are a pain, but cm7 is too stable to steer away from it! And your kernel is fantastic! Thanks again for your time and contribution!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] facadewithin:
I use miui and yeah. O even tries completely reinstalling a new rom then flashing 1.2 and still didn't work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Does this apn bug relate to no data? I've used serveral Cm7 based roms and kernel that data issues. I am with wind canada am with wind canada and the issue does not resolve itself with a hard reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] facadewithin:
reflashed this... and the kernel works on first boot.... but then if i reboot it, it will never boot normally again, and the screen flashes on and off alternating about every 5 seconds
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Runs stable, but slows down?

So Dragon 1.2 has been super stable with MIUI 1.9.2. No reboots, but I noticed after a couple of days, my phone has become laggy and slow. A manual reboot resolves this. But I wonder if there is something going awry with the compression/swapping overtime?

I have since updated to CWM 5.0.2 with EXT4 support and reflashed the kernel. Not sure if that makes any difference. I'll give it a couple more days and see if it slows down again.

I'll note that I didn't use my phone any differently as before and that the lag/slowdown has never happened before with other kernels or stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xkngofqnz:
i cant connect to my hidden wifi?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
I doubt the recovery will change anything. If you are using the swap enable script, try not using it. It might cause the kind of slowdown you are talking about. If not having swap enabled helps, you can try tuning the settings. Or just not run it. There is no universal best setting for everyone, so experiment and see what works for you. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
No idea. I didn't change anything in the wifi driver, I also don't use hidden wifi. The only thing it does is make you type more. It's not any more secure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] supersilko:
I had the same problem but dont know what I did to it to fix it because I did too many things to try and fix it. maybe try this delete the network profile and turn on or off debuging and try to connect with either, did you get the usb storage not connecting to pc too?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Thanks ttabbal. I was actually not running the swap script previously. Turned it on yesterday and was running fine for several hours, then my phone started getting hot and the battery drain was going fast, while in my pocket. I don't think there's misbehaving apps as I haven't installed any news ones in a while, except for the script manager. So I rebooted and phone and cooled down again.

Do I need to rerun the script after each boot?

I thing I should note, it does appear the lag becomes apparent when I have less than 80MB of RAM free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] morfic:
You add swap.

Everything seems great.

Unused apps? Out in swap space they go.

Then you still run out.

Oomkiller comes does what it's supposed to do, but you intervened with swap space, now you get to enjoy oomkiller's wrath for making his life harder, sending Linux stalls your way.

Android + swapping, enjoy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
The swap script needs to be run on every boot. Script Manager will do that if you tell it to. Unless you don't want swap. The default is off.

As morfic said, swap is a mixed bag. It works well for me, but others have issues with it. If you notice lag without the script, try using auto killer to set the oom settings higher. It will kill processes sooner which should allow more free ram.

You can also adjust the swappiness setting in the script. It's set high for testing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] morfic:
At least be smart and use swappiness of 5

You may curb stalls to tolerable levels.

Our G2x "disks" are slow.

Make sure to use deadline to further slow down IO to minimize the impact of the stalls.

Frequent rebooters will likely enjoy swap though.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
Working fine on fitsnugly's kang build for me. Also tested on cm7 b124.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Just to reinterate, I noticed the lag without the swap script. Turning it on, does not seem to make a huge difference for me. Just seems like my phone tends to run low on RAM quicker and the obviously becomes laggy. It just seems to happen a lot quicker with this kernel for some reason. I'm assuming you've tested the kernel without reboots over several days? Again, I just a user and not dev, but anything that might be causing a memory leak?

....or maybe I just rebooted more with other kernels ;-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
Works for me! The only time it doesn't work is when I get a notification while the screen is already on, and if I don't look at the notification and the screen turns off, my lights don't blink! Only when the screen is already off will it work, and now that I mention it, my volume rocker wake option ONLY works when I use this app! Lol! So when I get a text, that's when I can turn the screen on with the volume buttons! I'm on cm7 btw

[T-Mobile LG G2x] allofusjw:
Thanks for the update. Love having the swap option built in to the kernel. I appreciate all the kernel devs and their hard work, but I especially appreciate it when the dev allows the user some freedom to decide on/experiment with options instead of being told what's best for them with no option to adjust. I learn best by doing, not by being told and so I appreciate you posting your kernel very much. I don't think I'd have the patience to deal with all the lazy questions from users who experiment with rom and kernel mods but then don't bother to learn or research about what it is they're doing before posting a message with complaints and expecting others to spend the time to educate them. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why so many available mods end up being dumbed down with little or no room for options available to the user. So, thanks for the patience, sorry bout the lil rant, and keep up the great work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plantaman:
So here's the deal, and sorry for posting again on GPS matters... Thing is, my GPS was really good on Juwe's 5.0 JVP with Semaphore.

(Before this I did the usual stuff - GPS bend-the-contact hardware fix, GPS aids, calibrate the compass, even Nexus S binaries - I got really good navigation with JVP)

But now, after JVQ and JVR, it's completely shot to hell. I went through many ROMs with different kernels, but it just doesn't maintain a lock, and when it does (for like 4 seconds...) it's usually with 30 m accuracy ( -> useless).

What's weird is that I usually get 5+ birds, with SNR over 28, usually around 35!!

I'm on Jetpack 3.1 with Semaphore 1.5.0, OCed to 1200 MHz, and UVed ( - really stable and fast, no FC, no reboots).

Can anyone offer some insight? Should I just go back to JVP? :(

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsheron:
Sorry to hear this bud - I'm having the same problems and did same stuff - i.e. hardware "fix" and tried many roms. So many in fact that I have no clue as to what "helped" and what was just pot luck.

GPS on this phone is undoubtedly broken and widely documented as such. I even bought an SGS II and sent that back because of similar problems. Samsung don't give a rat's ass about this issue and it will get "fixed" in their future phones by mere coincidence (they get a decent chipset and/or decent programmer to write quality drivers) rather than any effort on their part. HTC manage outstanding GPS on all their phones in comparison to Samsung. Shame HTC don't do Super AMOLED.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJustin:
When I was on samsung roms I found that the GPS in JVP/Q/R was a lot worse than froyo. It only started maintaining the lock during drives when i used hardcore's T22 kernel with KC1 modem (for the 850 band in Canada).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Majestyk:
Maybe try a different modem. I've heard that JV1 modem is better for GPS than JVQ, JVR modem. Just flash via ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigX:
Try GPS Status on the Market. There you can download GPS Assistance data...

Calibrate your compass with it and, the thing i've done:

Goto into /root/etc and edit your GPS.conf file to your actual position in this world.
