So my 32GB SD card has been damaged somehow, and so I'm reformatting it at the moment, but I have no idea what could've caused this. I've been running the 10/10/11 Cyanogenmod nightly for awhile now with no problems, but suddenly when I flash the 9/23 Glitch kernel, after a couple of unmounts, inserts into my PC, and mounts back into my phone, my SD card said it was damaged. I rebooted my phone to see if that would solve the problem, but nope, it still said it was damaged. I then plugged it into my PC again and Windows said I needed to format it.

Disappointing that I have to do this, as I don't recall ever having this problem with a Glitch Kernel, is it possible that it was because of Cyanogenmod? I flashed the kernel last night before going to bed, and after using my phone for about an hour and a half today this incident occurred, so I'm really thinking that it might have to do with the Glitch Kernel. Any idea what happened, guys?
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
my sd card also died last night. coincidence?

I'm running miui and glitch 10/2, it says damaged in the phone but the computer reads it very slowly and it is now copying everything to my laptop.

[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I just checked, and nothing that could have done that was in the 9/23 release. I don't know what to tell you, if you wouldn't mind running stock kernel for a while and see what happens that would be helpful.
[Fascinate Android Development] Enyo.:
Anyone know how to disable the 4 buttons lights? They stay lit forever and don't turn off like the latest jt kernel does. And good job on the kernel six
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Read four posts up, or the FAQ.
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Yep, sure. I'll reflash the same nightly once my phone finishes charging.

EDIT: I think I found out a possible reason why my SD card died. Within Cyanogenmod settings>Application>Install location, I set the install location to internal, and it wasn't long after that when my SD card died. I think there's a problem with that feature in SGS phones and it's going to be fixed in the next nightly, see this link to see why I think that. http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,8780

I could be wrong, but that's just what I'm thinking, so I'm setting the install location back to Automatic for now, and I'm going to keep Glitch to see if the problem goes away.

EDIT2: My SD card STILL isn't done formatting. That just goes to show you how much data I had on it. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Well that's nice to know that it's not me :)
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
If you format using the PC you will have problems.. Format using your phone instead

[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Problems in what way? I did a full instead of a quick format and it finished just fine. I'm copying files back to the card now. Although, I haven't placed it back in my phone yet, so hopefully there aren't any problems at that point.
[Fascinate Android Development] hejay:
Awesome!! This is what I've been waiting for!
[Fascinate Android Development] Enyo.:
You should add the gpuOC.h and GPUsink.c to your source to add overclocking the gpu.
[Fascinate Android Development] Enyo.:
But either way good job. Good kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
The GPU is already overclocked. If it went any higher, the memory gets corrupt and it screws everything over. The user controlled overclocking doesn't work, its a placebo as of now. And in general a bad idea anyway, it has more potential issues than CPU overcloclong does. And I'm actually pretty sure we never took those out, so they're still there. Me may have reverted it, but I would have to check.
[Fascinate Android Development] Enyo.:
Holy! I got 4083 in quadrant by 1.44GHz with -150mV across the board. Tried -200mV and -175mV but caused lockups.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
i know quad isnt the best to gauge with, but im using v6 supercharger, adrenaline and smartass with bfq and only score 2700 with 1440. what are you using to get those numbers?
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
He's using the performance governor. Just out of curious, why do you run supercharger and adrenaline?
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
I was under the impression they did different things. am I wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I was asking if you knew why you ran each. The Glitch kernel already had a lot of the "fixes" that Supercharger has, long before supercharger was written. And someone has had bootloops from running adrenaline. In general if something is worth having, it would be pulled into a kernel or a ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
never had bootloops from adrenaline. I just unsupercharged to see differences and quad went up 200 points. still unable to hit those high quad numbers though
[Fascinate Android Development] jcubdub:
I installed the Glitch kernel both V11 and this V12 Beta on my Telus Fascinate t959d and then CM7 Galaxy 7.10 and if i dont reinstall Glitch after CM7 the phone works GREAT except that the Home and Search buttons dont work. Tried flipping the Home and Back buttons manually but now the Back button functions as a Home button but the Home button still does nothing (except the LED turns off momentarily while i press it). Same for the Search button. So I switched them back for now.

If I install the Glitch Kernel after CM7 Galaxy 7.10 the Fassy gets stuck in at the Glitch kernel logo and will no longer boot. I would like to be able to install this kernel to fix the buttons. Is it just a matter of waiting for the fixed version?

(Also posted slightly modified to the CM7 Fasciante 7.10 thread as I am not sure which category this question falls under)
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I know, I'm sorry. I'm working really hard to get the Telus working, but I'm not the one that made it originally, and i'm still learning so it's taking time. It will get done.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Are you on the performance governor? This is also the last thing I'm going to reply to about Quadrant, it's a terrible benchmark, I could easily get over 10,000 quadrant if I just wanted to.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Can u answer one more? What would you use as an "accurate" benchmark? We all know quadrant is terrible so I use antutu but I'm not sure how much better that is. What do you use or what should we use?
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
I don't use benchmarks, I don't see a point. A few of my testers will chime in with their favorites. If it feels good day to day, why does it matter?
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
I know its terrible, but it does provide a rough estimate. I just find it weird that Im running the exact same thing with performance and I get 1300 points less at 1440mhz
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I wouldnt worry about quadrant scores... pulled 3965 on untutu oc @ 1.44. with noop/interactive scaling
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
Right it doesn't lol. just wondering if there was something you preferred to benchmark. I just like to use it to benchmark against different kernels and roms I use I could care less about other devices. I just figured they can be good for statistically showing which ROM/kernel combo is best for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
Funny how this thread becomes pretty much dead and empty when there isn't either a new release for everyone to say how great it is, or talk of a new release for us to discuss. I can't remember the last time I came here and saw more than a couple of posts about an issue, and it's always something somebody is doing wrong or reading wrong and it gets cleared up quickly. Can't wait for a new release so that I can have a couple of pages to look through at night instead of maybe three posts that I hadn't seen yet :P
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
that just goes to show how great this kernel and the support for it is. can't get much better quality than Glitch
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
Windows usually formats the card to a format not supported by the fascinate

Sent from the fascinate that holds the record on antutu benchmark
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
That is only if you select a format other than FAT32. NTFS and exFAT will not work at all, but FAT32 is fine. General consensus seems to be that 7 is the most reliable, Vista less so, and XP is a crapshoot at best. You also need to do it directly (ie. via a card reader), not via USB with the card still in the phone. Finally, don't screw with the default cluster size unless you know exactly what you're doing.

EDIT: IIRC, you can technically do it via USB with the card in the phone, but the phone itself and the drivers involved are just extra potential points of failure if you have a card reader handy. Best to let the PC have the most direct access possible; fewer things to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
Gonna have to agree. This last release is a total beast! I'm stoked about the next one.

~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
All I can say about quadrant is with this kernel and espresso I was pulling upper 3000s consistently but since going to cm 7.1 unmodded I can't get anymore then 960 low 1000s. I can also notice a hit in actual performance. Really thinking of going back to glitch but I love the shortened backlights on cm 7.1 so guess ill take the performance hit lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Backlights are fixed, they'll be out in the next release.
[Fascinate Android Development] Holliday:
7.1 stock and my background looks great.

Install Glitch 9/22 and it's damn near black it's so dark. Played with voodoo control the passed half hour and can't make it look remotely close to how it was before. Any suggestions? :)

Set the gamma hack to -8. That's all I had to do.

Can't get my card to format... in my computers (tried two so far, one on 7 and one on XP) it just says "failed to format" no matter how I try it. and in the phone it just says "blank SD card" and won't let me use it, and in recovery it can't mount /sdcard to actually format.

found this "@_jt1134_: Fascinatemtd/mes/showcase users on cm7 please try this kernel: http://db.tt/IBuHGsPc and let me know how your GPS works. Thanks."

here...http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/s...genmod-7-fascinatemtd-nightly-builds-124.html

Everyone is talking about how great the GPS is.

Figured six or ssewk2x might be interested in this for their kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] xain713:
Is that his v6 kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Same question..
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
No. It was released after v6
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I use gps booster from market and gps works great on glitch now. If you try it, nevermind that it says failed... also it only uses 3mb ram in background.

using gps test, getting a lock in under 10seconds to 7-8 satellites w/ a 3-10ft accuracy indoors.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
I saw JT's tweet about GPS and checked out his github to see what he did.

At first glance, it looks like all he did was change the permissions on some files in the initramfs. We can pick up those changes by syncing with the latest CM7 fascinate device tree, I think. So, it should be just about effortless on our parts to incorporate that into the next release.

Of course, that's no guarantee that it will actually work for everyone. We all know how flaky GPS is on these phones - some people have fantastic performance, and some people could get better GPS from throwing darts at a globe.
[Fascinate Android Development] rmtobler:
Looks like jt has a gps fix in his latest kernel (check twitter). GPS hasnt been this good since I was on the original factory rom/kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
You actually had GPS that worked on a Verizon eclair ROM? Lol you're a lucky guy
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
yeah, whatever was done now allows me to get lock and directions within 5 seconds fastest gps locked on any android phone Ive owned! great work! this plus glitch would equal pure kernel insanity!
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
See if your compass works any better, too, will ya?

Thanks :)
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
compass accurate to 2 meters!
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
we need this gps fix in glitch, yes we do ;-)
[Fascinate Android Development] rmtobler:
Pretty much. I received a refurb from Verizon and the GPS worked flawless for like 3 weeks, then slowly started to deteriorate.

So this is a compass fix then? That's good to know... hopefully that means no more calibrating the compass (basically every time I unplugged the phone from charging or put it near the computer).
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It will be in the next release then.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
patiently waiting...
[Fascinate Android Development] TheHobbyist:
Ssewk2x, in another thread you were talking with comrad about using the stock kernel audio setup. I could be wrong, but JT explained to me that he could not use the stock drivers because of proprietary code, and that he had to use "hackity hack" drivers from open sourse i9000 for that reason. I'm sure a short conversation with JT about it could be enlightening. Cheers and great work!
[Fascinate Android Development] Enyo.:
I like this kernel, but JTs new kernel fixes GPS and the blacklights are shortened. But theirs a huge performance hit. Even when overclocked its still laggy a little. Glitch is very smooth. I don't know what to choose.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Also BLN isn't working on JTs or it wasn't for me. But I will say that I flashed it to test GPS. Then flashed glitch back to it and my GPS is still working wonderfully. I don't know if JTs GPS fixed stuck through the glitch flash or not but it sure seems that way.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Or you could read the thread, know that a release will come out soon, and wait.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
That's why decided to go ahead and flash back to glitch. You got me stoked.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Yeah, I still have a lot of experimenting and learning to do, too. I definitely see what JT was talking about, tho. The driver code is kind of a clusterf*ck, in both cases. I'm now thinking I may be able to partially kang bits and pieces of the samsung driver and keep the bits that AOSP roms / kernels need .. it's a wild guess at this point and a bunch of work and stuff, but the possibility is there.

Sadly, though, I won't be able to get a fix in for this release.

A temporary fix for the speaker echo issue, though, might be to lower the mic gain to the same level as the earpiece mic gain, or even less. My dad reports the echo being a lot less intrusive with the mic_gain_spk set to 19 on my phone. So it's possible there's a sweet spot just a little lower than that .. it's just a pain in the ass to find it without being able to adjust it with a nice app with a slider in the middle of a call, lol. But .. food for you experimenter types out there that don't mind fiddling with the 90call_vol script :)
[Fascinate Android Development] hejay:
I'm really looking forward to this next release with the light timeouts. I'm not sure of the reason, but when comparing the fascinate to the other galaxy s phones, the softkey backlight is by far the brightest—it's very distracting when using in low–light situations. Because I refused to go back to the other kernels, I've been coping with it by covering them with electrical tape (which actually creates kind of a cool afterglow effect around the buttons and bottom edges). Just a suggestion to anyone else who is struggling with this issue as much as I am until the next release:
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
me too bro. gps lock under 5 seconds for the first time everrr -_-
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
That's hilarious! Nice hardware hack ;)

Fyi, from what I can tell, the keypad LED has 2 brightness settings: "on" and "off." There doesn't appear to be a software way to make them dimmer.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Wow, I am also amazed. Haven't had a decent lock in under 10 seconds

for a long time.

Yeah, I kind of figured that would be the case. I'm not too worried about actually having the ability to dim them though, especially if they can turn off completely.
[Fascinate Android Development] nklenchik:
Okay so 35% of people have softkey timeout problems (myself being one of those people)...that's actually pretty low. I'm running CM7.1 right now and the v12 beta on low voltage.

Does anyone have any clue on why my keys don't timeout when more than half of the phones running Glitch do?
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
None of the phones running Glitch do. http://goo.gl/ie1fx #11
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
So, more ideas on the app. We're thinking about adding beta releases to the app. They are not guaranteed to be stable or work well by any means. How many people would be interested in being that adventurous?
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
I think as long as you gave some sort of warning before the download then it would be fine. I love the idea in general though.
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:
:) support the view
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
One for sure here! I'm not worried about instability, just wanna help. I can always revert back if needed.

~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
[Fascinate Android Development] zander25:

[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
so this would be giving your personal beta releases, not like v13 right? until that is ready at least.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It would be stablish betas. And it will be OUR betas, Tk-Glitch is back.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Heh, so I just discovered that Github has a nice bugzilla-like-ish issue tracker. So I've posted the remaining stuff I've got on my plate to the list of issues against my Glitch repository.

If anyone wants to check on them and watch for status updates (tho they may be few and far between), you can find the page at: https://github.com/Efpophis/Glitch/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open

Also, if you have a *legitimate* bug you'd like me to look into, you can submit an issue yourself, I think. Just please don't make me regret saying that, ok? Be smart about it, because I reserve the right to summarily reject any issue not submitted by me (or six or tk-glitch).

This way, you can follow my progress on github (if you care) instead of having me clog the forum with updates. Everyone wins!

Also, welcome back Tk-Glitch! Hope you're feeling a lot better.
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
I feel like there should be some kind of Rocky-like music track playing behind this statement. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
yeah I got the email, can't wait to get some new glitch running on here.
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
We got the supreme power trio now! Ahh, good times.

Heck, I'm just glad to know he's made such progress in his recovery!

By the way, if you guys are still considering a rom, I have a name suggestion: Son of a Glitch

okay, I'm going...
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Same here. Glad to hear he is doing better. One day at a time glitch.
[Fascinate Android Development] nklenchik:
Okay okay, I was just looking at the poll and got curious :D
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
I won't bother trying to insult you all with my lack of creativity on wording this, but I do want to suggest that while it is amazing to have Tk-Glitch back, let's not get overzealous and minimize the efforts of the two amazing folks who stepped in and did an amazing job in his absence.

That said:

Here's to another brain added to the trust!
[Fascinate Android Development] JWnSC:
Is there any way I can rename a Lib .off to disable the bottom lights. I'm on low leakage undervolted 150. Great kernel, very smooth and fast. Thanks

Im using glitch ML on cm7.1 and getting the same thing...have to reformat my sd card after every 2-3 reboots.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
When did it start?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Last week, I want to say on 10/11 within hours of flashing glitch. I posted in the cm7 thread but not here because I didnt know if its a rom or kernal issue...but yea my sd card is soft burned I guess. Soon as I put anything on it and reboot, it will come up "checking sd card for errors", then "sd card damaged". I can reformat and all is good until a reboot or two.
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
OK. We'll look around.
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
It's entirely possible some of these cards were damaged during the last go-round of SD card frying. During the EC09 debacle people would report occasional instances of cards dying long after moving away from those roms. Food for thought.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
With all due respect I don't think its ever been proven that a certain ROM, radio or kernel combo is the culprit behind the fried SD cards. Some peeps just get the bad luck. But clearly it is a GB related issue of some sort
[Fascinate Android Development] sixstringsg:
That's what I was hoping. I don't have a fascinate, so I didn't know what was up, or if it happened to other people.
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
Actually it's pretty well known to be a kernel issue with EC09. AOSP only ran into the issue when a change was made on the CM vendor tree that had a negative impact on CDMA phones.
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
You guys are fine. JT specifically told you which commits to not merge when the kernel was updated.
