I've been using your ROM for 2 days now and it's great! Really, really fast.

I found the Email app, it was indeed hidden.

I tried Opera but still like Dolphin Browser Mini more, so I uninstalled it if you don't mind ;) For example, Opera opens a different kind of mobile version of Facebook than Dolphin does.. very wierd!

One thing tho: My phone always hangs when I hook it up to my wall charger. If I charge it over USB there is no problem, but on the wall charger it will hang after some time... Is this a known issue? I hadn't got this problem before

Also, it randomly hangs once a day. I have to remove the battery because nothing works.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
I haven't had any hangs other than having one of my profiles governor set to low, but once I corrected the frequencies it cleared up. Yeah its fast too. Got a 3200 on last quadrant run (cm7 is normally around 2500-2800)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yes, if it hangs on charger it's most likely a governor issue - especially the minmax governor has problems for me while charging in car.

Open up Daemon Controller and make sure it's set to Smartass on wake and Scary on sleep for best results. Also if you installed any kind of CPU-configuring app, you need to use that one to set the governors as Daemon controller should get disabled once you install anything else like SetCPU.

If the problem still persists, try to delete or rename /data/local/userinit.sh to disable any undervolting. Will cost you some battery though so use this as last resort.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Back again! I'm guessing it's a radio issue and will get back when I can try a couple things, but my data connectivity is becoming unreliable on this. The icon hops between 3G and H, but I don't get any connectivity when on 3G, the up and down arrows don't light up and apps don't connect properly. When on H everything works beautifully.

Could also be an issue with T-Mobile?

More feedback for OP/dev

I really am enjoying this ROM

Coming from CM7, HTC-Clay's CM7, MIUI, OsiMood MIUI, and Bulletproof MIUI

This is by far the ROM I've had the most fun with using

The over-optimization is fantastic. I haven't done the undervolting yet but the battery is far superior to msot ROMs except MIUI.. however MIUI wasn't as fast or smooth as this :D I prefer this. the Undervolting should net me the battery I want once I set aside time to do this!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
Thanks for your reply! Okay, I will rename the userinit.sh file and will report back the results in a day or two. Because today my phone hang twice again:Once when on the charger at 5:30AM and once when searching for a song on Soundcoud.

I didn't touch any of the Daemon Controller settings yet, so they are still on your ROM's default.

Sometimes I also have difficulty unlocking/waking my phone. I see that the buttons under the screen are lit, but my screen stays black. After some time (2-3 min) all is back to normal..

Anyhow, I'll remove the undervolt and will let you know how it runs :)

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
I'm sorry to say that removing the undervolt sadly did not solve the problem.

My phone hang twice again. Once while browsing trough my homescreens and once it didn't want to wake up: The screen stayed black.

Is there a way to debug this problem? I understand that it's pretty hard for you to find a solution for this bug without some proper logfiles or something

Apart from the above, I really like this rom. It's super fast. Now let's hope and see if we can fix this stability issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Try the latest radio, double check your governor selection (it can sometimes switch away from smartass/scary inexplicably), try a slight overvolt in the userinit.sh (place another +25 line to the bottom, just copy the one you see in my original file).

If nothing works, your problem must be very specific to your device and I recommend holding out until the next release with more recent base. Not much I can do about this and logcat probably won't tell me much if it freezes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noob15:
hey nik3r been a while since i used your rom. I have a quick question what tweaks do you make to optimize your rom for lower frequencies or any optimization you made in general? Just personally would like to know as this roms speed is impressive.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well optimized governor settings, VM tweaks and memory tweaks contribute the most. But really there's a lot more tweaks adding precious % to the result.

BTW: any ideas why there are no autobuilt nightlies for almost a month?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
They said the nightlys are down for hardware maintenance. I figured they would be up by now though.

Kernel is part of the package too, you only flash the mods if you're not satisfied with the defaults ;) Kernel in mods are my modded versions with performance tweaks.

If there is a newer version of the market available, is it ok to install over it?

Sent from my Galnet MIUI'd up Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
The Umaro kernel in mods is the same one that is included as default ;) But to switch kernel to (slower but newer) Tiamat you need to use the mod, otherwise you would lose all kernel-related tweaks as they are tailored for Umaro. The Tiamat mod contains its own, different set of tweaks. And of course using a non-modded kernel means you lose this part of tweaks completely - it will work though. Kinda.

I am using it right now and it works. Just extract the Vending.apk, place it to /data/apps and chmod it to 644. Or install over your current market as update. Flashing whole gapps pack might wreak havoc on the ROM so nandroid if you want to try that.

EDIT: I will update the new market mod in a day or so. I thrashed my car today so I'm a little distracted right now. My poor Alfa Romeo 147 :(

Recovery...post shutdown.

I was doing a battery calibration, letting the battery die completely. I noticed that when plugged into the charger and powered off the phone the phone goes into recovery. I told it, through recovery, to power off. It rebooted back into recovery.

I powered off again and again resulting in a reboot into recovery. I decided not to touch it and it turned off, or so I think. I hit the track pad and it booted the phone into Android. So I powered down, it went into recovery, and then the screen blanked out. Not in a bad way since it did this before and started Android when I hit the track pad.

I'm not freakin' out. I just know that the battery charges faster when completely powered off. I also thought I'd tell you incase this was a not intentional and you might have look into it when, if, you do an updated version.

Otherwise, it's a swift ROM. I came off of Xboarder's which had great battery life. I'll keep this one for at least a week or two to test drive. I appreciate you sharing your personal ROM and kernel work.

Also, I noticed that SetCPU says that this kernel won't allow it to set an undervolt. It implies this kernel isn't custom. Another thing I ran across and thought I'd share. Is there an app you might recommend to set the undervolt settings?

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

DUDE, hope you're alright. Also hope it wasn't your fault.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Rebooting to recovery? Weird - check your voldown key it may be stuck. It is normal that it rebooted once again, it goes like:

First boot - account setup - reboot - autoreboot on HTC screen - load

The behavior makes sense if some problem causes you to reboot to recovery always.

Does new SetCPU allow you to undervolt? Didn't know that, the kernel supports VDD interface for setting voltages, it is by no means stock. May the incredible quadrant scores be your proof ;)

BTW: Everyone is fine but it was my fault, ironically I was only moving like 10kph but got shot down from a blind spot :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
This is sooooooo fackin fast im in love. Haha. Thanks man! Once i get my new battery i will undervolt and see how good i can get my battery life:)

I hate to say it, but I have to uninstall this ROM.

It's blazingly fast and works perfectly, however I get random reboots or freezes more and more often. Today my phone freezed 4 times and random rebooted 2 times :(

Apart from that, it's the best ROM ever. I think it's just my phone hardware :(

Thanks for the support and good luck with the ROM! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dirtybudha:
Recovery

No, volume down has been fine. When the phone is fully booted I don't have any issues with the volume key being stuck.

I can do a normal reboot. It seems to happen when the USB cable is plugged in, I have it plugged in to the AC charger. I tried to do this without the cable plugged in, and it booted recovery after I plugged the cable in. It's weird is all.

I did the normal install as you recommended: Install-first boot-setup-reboot-load. I have been running it since yesterday.

Works great otherwise. Just wanted to charge it faster with it powered down. Looks like I just have to wait for the recovery screen to blank out.

From what I read on appbrain and the Androidn market, SetCPU can handle voltage settings. I always look around before I do something on my phone. I may be tech savvy, but I'm not a programmer and I'm cautious about doing ADB stuff. Google "SetCPU" and "undervolt" and you should see it.

If there is an alternative way to do this I'm game.

Glad everyone is okay, bummer on the wreck man.

Update coming

In the last few days I have been working on a special Christmas present for you guys.

EliteMod is getting a little sister project - EliteKernel.

Expect heavy performance and battery tweaks, Umaro-compatible voltage table (you can use your undervolt table made for Umaro Kernel). Heavily tweaked Smartass2 governor as default and of course Scary for you battery freaks.

Please make sure you have nandroid backup of your 244 before upgrading. Full wipe is encouraged but not necessary.

Last tests are currently underway and I will upload in about 2 hours since this post so STAY TUNED and do your backups before it's too late ;)

A few figures from the initial tests of my new kernel:

10 hours standby = ~4-5% battery

Quadrant at DD settings (768-940MHz Smartass2) = 2700ish

Quadrant OCed at 1.9GHz = see the screenshot ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New version

Merry Christmas everyone :)

The first EliteMod with it's own custom kernel has been released.

Need to know:

- update from #244 is possible if you are so inclined

- smartass changed to smartassV2 (you need to update your SetCPU profiles)

- other kernels except EliteKernel (included) and ILWT will NOT work (older kernels will break sound). I will put up the new mods when I have time.

- backup backup backup ;)

Enjoy and have a nice day/evening/morning whatever :D

I'm trying and researching but I can't seem to expose the vdd_level sysfs interface to userspace. It's enabled in the .config but nothing pops up in /sys after flashing, I went so far as to compare the source code with other major kernels out there but I found nothing out of place. Anyone has experience with this? My base is stock CM7 kernel. The vdd functions are in place but nothing in sysfs, perhaps there is a place where I need to declare what gets exposed or something.

Until I figure this out, we don't have undervolting. Still the battery seems ... ok :D

Also did anyone try call recording?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arbitrabbit:
Assume your drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig has

config CPU_FREQ_VDD_LEVELS
bool "CPU Vdd levels sysfs interface"
depends on CPU_FREQ_STAT
default n
help
CPU Vdd levels sysfs interface

And your drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c has a couple of sections that start with #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_VDD_LEVELS, especially in declaration of default_attrs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
How do I enable this call recording? I was stoked about this feature on MiUI only to find out it was only my side that was recorded (on DZ) apparently this is a difficult thing on the HTC Vision.

If you have succeeded, I'll be so stoked! I have so many calls with my boss where he lists off tons of things and I wish I had a record =P

Sent from my Nexus 6 through tears in rain.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yes I have those and the CPU_FREQ_VDD_LEVELS flag is set. The smartass2 config got exposed without any additional steps so the problem must be in cpufreq.c somewhere. I'm in bed now but tomorrow I will try to cherrypick the VDD_LEVELS patch from ILWT kernel git and compare again for inconsistencies.

Jontornblom:

You need an app that records calls, if the patch works you can clearly hear both sides. Worked for me on modded Umaro kernel and I heard CM7 kernel got this patch not long ago, so I'm just assuming I have it too being based on that ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Hmm, unfortunately we are in the same boat. I can only hear my own voice. There was some work done on Vision kernels to try and get it to record both sides a while back, but other things kept breaking.

Edit: No, it does work =) I googled a bit, found out that mdeejay's unity kernel had it, and he said "you must use CallRecorder by skvalex" sure enough that app works. It's $5, though.

Aside: You know us android people are getting spoiled when having to pay for an app is a bummer. Obviously this guy put some good work into it to make sure it works better than other similar apps, and he has a right to ask for payment.

I just felt bad for uninstalling and getting a refund right away, but I guess I was just trying it out "for the community." I'll probably just buy it again though. Lol

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
Google voice has a feature to record both sides of the call. You just press 4 once the call is connected and it works great. Gotta use Google voice though.

I like it so far. Seems very smooth. But could do without launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
If you don't like LP for whatever reason, original ADW is still present in /data/local/

adb remount
adb shell
mv /data/local/ADWLauncher.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
reboot

Or root commander. Not so terribly difficult, eh? :)

The battery seems awesome to me, I am recalibrating but with much mobile data traffic, about an hour of vids wifi streaming, some browsing, several calls and 3 reboots I'm still at ~20% after 24 hours. I will try to last the day with just that until it dies. Of course I have SetCPU profiles scaling down over the battery lifetime.

101% @ 768-940 smartass
50% @ 768-902 smartass
30% @ 768-864 smartass
15% @ 245-768 smartass
screen off @ 245-768 scary
power cord @ 768-1248 greaselightning

These frequencies are fine tuned to my voltage peaks so unless you spent your time building your own undervolting table, your mileage may vary.

Well feature-wise this is CM7 and I think they ditched it some time ago. Can you provide me with instructions on how to enable it? I am interested in this myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] michaelbrender:
Congrats

Hi Nik3r,

congratulations - EliteMod is a really great release.! Using CM7 for months and being a happy user i am surprised the UI can get even more snappier and faster. Also the battery consumption seems to be much more efficient. Is it because of the Kernel? Do you have a twitter account where we can follow your future release?
