My phone freezes up when using the smartass v2 governor OCed

any reason why?

The phone OC to 1844 MHz on conservative and performance no problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I think the voltage difference between your min and max is too great, smartass tends to react very quickly to stay as low as possible all the time and there is no leading overdrive when changing voltages on android. It's a tradeoff between speed an battery.

Everything works fine for me up to min 122MHz, max ~1,47GHz. Any higher and freezes will start, but if I set a minimum with higher voltage like 806MHz I can go all the way up to 1.9GHz for maximum.

Simply put either reduce the voltage differences.

Or use ondemand which is more relaxed and freezes WILL occur only randomly for the same reason.

Or build a system that allows for voltage overdrive when raising frequencies, now that would be awesome - uber battery, no heat and 1.9GHz horsepower in one package :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
Ok looks like I will have to go back and read the UV guide. I just started using this kernel the other day. Still haven't figured out any of it.

I would love to sit down and fine tune all of it, but no time right now :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
There is nothing UVing will do about this :)

To simplify things: every frequency has a different voltage. The higher frequency, the higher voltage it needs. The lower voltage it uses, the less battery it eats :D

UVing just decreases voltages for frequencies that allow it to save battery.

This problem lies elsewhere, say we have 806MHz and 1.9GHz, if we jump from one to the next we go from 900mV to 1525mV, that's about 625mV jump and that is nearing the most my DZ can handle safely (tested).

But we are talking about jump from 122MHz to 1.9GHz which is for me 750mV to 1525mV - that's a 775mV jump and my DF just says f*** *** and dies.

There may be more to this but I think this is basically it.

The only solution is a more granular jump that allows for the frequencies to settle. More granular jump = less smooth jump. And here we go again :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
Ah I see what you mean now...

Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea the phone would not be able to cope with such fast changes in clock speed. This kernel is really pushing the upper limits of our phones, so it makes sense that it won't be able to keep up with huge changes in voltages so quickly. So then conservative it is...

The jump may be more granular, but who cares? As long as you get the power you need :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I care, that's the point lol :D

I found out that Scary can do this job very well. I'm at 122MHz - 1.9GHz Scary and it handles well and reacts much faster than conservative. Of course its tad slower on the 122MHz side you might want to raise it a bit :D

Edit: 768 - 1,9GHz scary.. its scary smooth and keeps around 1.2 GHz until you need horsepower.

Edit2: Hey kids, don't try this at home - hardcore bbq fans and emulators only.

Hey nik3r,

I upgraded this ROM from the 010722 version by doing a cache wipe only. And after the manual reboot its now stuck at the HTC screen. Not even pulling the battery out and in (after 15 mins) helped it.

What should I do?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Happened to me too a version back. It has something to do with installed apps, maybe one that is several megs huge and the process just freezes on that.

Make sure first that you waited at least 10 minutes on the HTC screen, it takes a while and that is normal. If it takes forever I guess youre out of luck.

If you want to avoid full wipe at all costs you are going to need adb from recovery. First mount /data in recovery then:

adb shell

rm /data/local/postsetup/postsetup.sh

exit

Next select advanced and fix permissions.

Good luck

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ginobili1:
Thanks for the tips nik3r. Last time when I messaged it was stuck for about 15-20 mins. But then I took out the battery again and left turned it back on. This time I just left it as is, and voila! After an eternity of waiting the matrix started streaming down. :)

Now its working great and with Go Launcher EX added and running fluidly, I can't be more glad.

Thanks for the awesome ROM. Its because of your work (and quick support) that I keep bouncing back to this ROM even though after a taste of good ICS builds on DZ.

After flashing the latest 1/22 kernel I see there's a daemon controller in my apps list, What exactly does this do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
it replaced Virtuous's OC Daemon gui. :)

edit:

I think the previous release is more stable and smoother...

Sometimes the push function just fails in this release.. mails arrive with a minutes long delay and whatsapp only receives messages when I turn the screen on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
SnowOokami this:

If that's not the case, try higher min frequency, 122MHz is probably lower than anything you're ever seen, last version had 245MHz. Keep in mind it can also go 100mV (!!) lower than 245MHz so the standby time should rock with it.

You can also try to use just smartass2 for both sleep and wake, it has its own sleep profile that reacts faster. But generally raising your sleep min frequency or using smartass governor should remove any delays you might have.

Luckily it behaves a bit faster than last version for me.. and that's scaling from 122MHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Only using the Daemon Controller app atm... I threw system tuner a few months ago away, stupid thing bugged my phone :p I set the awake and sleep min at 245mhz. Will let you know how it turns out :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
So you no longer recommend scary for screen off?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Works fine for me, I'm just presenting alternatives :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Okay:)

Could you possibly tell me the difference between smartass and scary?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Governors

Simply put:

Smartass is like ondemand on steroids

Scary is like conservative on steroids

They are both inspired by interactive governor so they ramp up immediately, there is no timer polling and delay like on ondemand or conservative.

Smartass ramps up to max for a jiffy and then quickly settles down until the CPU usage is below certain threshold - means both instant reaction and battery saving. It also favors a frequency towards which it moves faster and from it slower - in our case 768MHz as my personal sweet spot of smoothness vs. battery. When the screen is off, this sweet spot changes to 122MHz so it's more conservative when off but still allows for whole range of frequencies.

Scary ramps up immediatelly as well, but only by a certain maximum amount, so it's much more conservative but can be slower to ramp up from really low frequencies, because it's stepping up through the slow freqs instead of jumping ahead. Faster than conservative but still slow enough to see initial lag. For higher frequencies it behaves like conservative with faster reactions, keeping the frequency low if possible and stepping up slowly on demand.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Sometimes the music playback hangs for a few ms.. not really annoying but still. Does somebody have any idea why it does that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Built-in player? Probably bufferring problem, that can have several reasons:

- something is accessing SD card heavily

- too low CPU freq for the decoder to keep supplying the buffer (again try to raise min or try more aggressive governor). Possibly influenced by background apps eating CPU, this would be most visible for scary and conservative (stepping up instead of jumping, so the horsepower is momentarily insufficient).

- too small buffer (nothing you can do for the built-in player)

- combination of the above

I bought PowerAMP and it allows variable buffer size, with large audio buffer you can ignore all of the above.

I got a class 4 16gb mSD card... but it's going like 150KB/s when syncing mp3's (doesn't matter which program I use) and max reading speed is like 2,5MB/s?? but when I put my mSD directly in my computer it flies... and I'm pretty sure it's connected to USB2. Does somebody know a way to speed this up?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BengtL:
Try SD-Booster in market, it's free, and change the cache size to 2048 or 4096!

Then You will get more speed when reading...maybe writing also
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
It is set to 3mb out of the box, so this is not the issue. Try a different cable and plug it directly to a port without a hub, see if that helps. Also dont let the phone sleep to keep CPU up. Reader will logically be faster, its handling caches in your computer instead of the connected device, but this is really way too slow.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eightcore:
What kind of tweaks gets applied after RequireBoot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
It would override most of them I guess, for better or worse.. mostly worse I think if the tweaks are not tuned exactly to DZ capabilities and RAM size. But there's only one way to find out ;)

After reboot mostly userspace tweaks and default settings for system and apps, backlight profile, some additional apks are "flashed" that would otherwise conflict with first boot. Stuff like that, no other way without having sources of all the modified apps and some of them are not OS.

Sorry the packages were packed wrong.. wonder why nobody reported this yet. Try to re-download. (packages include EFS wipe and GPS driver)

HI, yours rom is sooooo smooth.. but i've a problem... i'cant take screenshoot from power menù. when i tap "cattura schermata" (take screenshot) it says: "error= unable to save screenshot: mbitmap=null". I can't also install cm7-sparksco-patch2 to enable sd-ext and swap... thanz you for your great job =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Must be something you did or installed, how do you think I took those quadrant screenshots earlier :D

Any CM7 mod should and will work. I don't know why would you want to use swap. It basically makes the slow sdcard even slower by even more concurrent I/O and prevents the card to enter power saving mode completely for little or no benefit.

But sd-ext I approve and it should work when done correctly :) I never had the stomach to activate it myself though. Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't change anything in the kernel so fundamentally that the mods wouldn't work, does anyone using sd-ext successfuly on this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Loving the new rom and kernel.. but I was just curious, does this rom use any apps2sdext script? I notice apps run off ext partition are usually more responsive and I personally think it helps keep things organized. I'd love if this rom had the ability to utilize a2sdext and a swap partition. Sparksco makes a good script to enable both on CM7 roms, but it has to be used before flashing gapps. Think you could cook those features in? :D. Just curious. Love the rom regardless

Hope you remember to ask for his permission ;)

By the way can I see your kernel source?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well Dolphin HD is pretty slow for me (both page load and rendering) and mini is a no go for me, I need full PC-like web with good javascript support, not mobile page versions. After I tweaked Opera it beats all the other browsers hands down at what I usually do. I used most if not all browsers out there for a few days and eventually stuck with Opera. Just try to load full desktop version of deviantart.com for example, that's one heavy web, opera mobile - 7s, my PC - 3,5s, not so bad :D And it scrolls so smoothly *drools* :D

But use whatever works for you, just my 2 cents :)

Don't worry, I didn't plan a public release until I get a permission but I'll do a private viability check first ;)

As for the kernel, it's a mess I'm not proud of and my upload speed sucks - you've seen how long it takes to upload measly 180MB. But I suppose I can give you VNC access to my virtual ubuntu if you really want to see the bakery :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Actually it doesn't take all of the 180 it compressed it so it doesn't take as much

I've got a problem with Deamon Controller. If I edit the clocks or governors in the first tab "OCD" and click "Apply", nothing happens but the message "Changes successfully applied" The clocks that i have just changed dont get applied. After a reboot, CPUFreq settings are active again. I can only adjust the clock in the CPUFreq tab.

As a result, I can't adjust the sleep clocks and governors anymore.

I just wiped data, cache and dalvik cache and reflashed 120122 ROM and kernel, same issue.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
If you change the settings on the first tab it gets applied and screen off profile switches. That is until you reboot. No idea why it wont persist without taking it apart on my PC. But in reality I see no practical difference because smartass has its own screen off profile built-in, scary is only marginally more efficient when the screen is off so no biggie.

Since a few days I use this ROM and I really love it. It is fast and my battery is not empty when I go to sleep. :)

Just one question: why is autorotate disabled by default? Is this option using a lot of battery or is it just the cherry? If so, I expected GPS also to be disabled by default, it surprised me it was enabled.

Looks like I just encountered some kind of bug: when I pull down the notificationbar I see some messages. When I click on them or on 'clear' nothing happens, restarting LauncherPro does not solve this problem. A few hours ago this worked. Is there a workaround for this without the need to restart?

Hey,

Anyone know a fix for the DSP manager?

I mean the music stuttering with DSP manager eq on and phone screen off, it is so annoying.

I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167080

solutions 1 and 3, but that just resulted in DSP force closes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fr3akBut:
Have you tried raising the min CPU freq? If it's dipping too low the music may stutter.

Hope that helps :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flippy_:
Actually I did try.

But it stutters even with min 768 MHz when the screen is off.

But music plays well even with 122 MHz with all DSP effects turned off and screen off.

And there is no music stuttering with DSP manager eq turned on at any frequencies when screen is on, but as soon as I turn the screen off = bad bad problems (did try smartass V2, ondemand etc... on my screen off profile with no luck).

I'll try to find an answer and post it here if I find it.

Edit:

Just tried playing with DSP with eq turned on and different frequencies:

Screen on: stuttering starts on frequencies below 368 MHz

Without any DSP effects:

Screen on: 122 MHz = no problem

Screen off: 122 MHz = no problem

Edit2:

Got it working with ondemand governor screen off profile with min: 368 MHz max: 768 MHz

But too lazy to change the profile every time I listen to music, so just not gonna use DSP
