Regarding battery drainage of DSC endorsed kernels in 0.7b

On simple tests regarding battery usage of the latest kernels endorsed by DSC i did found out that :

Kernels benchmarked

1. The kernel included in the DSC_Olleh_USB.zip

2. The Phoenix kernel which comes by default with DSC 0.7 release.

Environment during tests:

DSC 0.7b official release.

App used to benchmark "Battery Benchmark v2.6" available in Market.

The benchmarks were done under identical situations, with identical i mean :

Install the kernel, do a battery calibration with a 100%-0%-100% (4208mA max) full cycle. Then fresh reboot , leave the phone for 10 minutes to sleep then start the test without opening any other application to be sure the memories of each test were unspoiled. Then do the benchmarks on the same spot of the table with maximum volume , LCD light etc to be sure everything in really identical. I did the shortest 5 % bench, since i didnt had much time at hand , so if someone else wants more precise results , please repeat the test with 50% and 100% which would give a much better accuracy.

Results :

1. Olleh kernel, 1054 s, Loop 183 , 14 GET

2. Phoenix kernel 1282 s, Loop 235, 13 GET

Conclusions :

The Phoenix kernel IS faster and uses less battery , since to drain my battery with 5 % it took more time than the Olleh kernel, and also did more cycles during that time, the cycles include , opening GPS and locking , blotooth and pairing, repeated audio noises, etc for more info visit the website of the application.

Remarks:

The only difference form the official DSC configuration was :

/system/etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh

echo 128000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
[Streak 5 Android Development] sparky4017:
I did not do the benchmark test that may have been the better test what i did was set up both

my streaks the same like i use them everday each one with a different kernel used them both the same way i would everyday the olleh outlasted the Phoenix by about 20% in a real world

test this is only my imput the olleh worked best for me smooth and plenty fast.

Are you planning to build a Phoenix kernel that can be scaled to interactive mod?

Thanks to DSC team for everything!

I am testing the new kernel.

DS5 doesn't wake when i plug it to charge or PC.

After 4-5 tries,it wakes and i can use it.Except this issue,i haven't met any issue yet.

Thanks to DSC team.

I install navitel on DSCv0.7 and success , but navitel load and I try to find waypoint .... navitel hang. Try to uninstall it and then install again , got same problem. Anybody got same problem like me ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
I think it has to do with a problem with the app. I installed it on 3 different devices and got errors on all 3 installs, I would have to say maybe the app is corrupt or something, not downloading well or maybe a problem with the market, dunno, just throwing ideas out there. If you got it to install fine but it won't run, I would still have to blame the app and not DSC
[Streak 5 Android Development] sparky4017:
I read some reviews on this many complaining that it only works on froyo not g\b hope this helps
[Streak 5 Android Development] DashingGentleman:
I cannot connect to my university wifi (a wpa 2 enterprise setup) with anything newer than version 0.65. Using 0.7 with the Olleh kernel now and the network goes connecting - remembered - disabled when I try to connect. Same issue with Phoenix.

Any advice besides downgrading?
[Streak 5 Android Development] chantik:
Thx for help ... change to lower version and run well.

First install use version 5.0.3 ... but failed just like I said.

Second install use version 5.0.0... this is work for me.

jitin02, have you tried connecting Streak to PC?

Button issue. It's most probably hardware. Phoenix kernel includes patch to reduce key jittering, and it may have a side effect of power key not always seem to work - but actually it prevented device from going off and on. Olleh kernel does not.

Remember, that camera key has two positions,and to shoot you should press it firmly.

Is there any mod to make date setting to sync from internet time ? Froyo have that menu to sync local time to internet. But in gb that menu disappear , only sync from network provider left.

ClockSync does it's job right.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
I am not aware of what is RIL order. But the font used to write/read hindi is called devanagri and the problem streak faces in the display of correct order of kernel pairs. However all samsung phones including galaxy s2 displays them fine.

Unfortunately I have some problems with connecting tom WLAN of my university. They are using WPA2 Enterprise with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 security without any certificate.

On my other android device I had no troubles during connect - with this ROM I can't connect at all - I can see the "connecting" message and afterwards there ist at once "disconnected" sign :(

For me, its very stable with a very good battery life. There is still the issue of dropping the Wifi network, although they are lest frequent than before.
[Streak 5 Android Development] LloydPatten:
n0p, 0.7 plus Olleh kernell plus wifi zip makes it all good, deliberately left phone on wifi and charge all night, woke up, went straight to the net without any sleep problems, can use for approx 30-40 minutes then a quick reboot to clear the head and all good, only two wifi glitches all day and only when I was on the perifery of the wifi range on very low signal.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Why would you want other scalers?

conservative/ondemand are actually the only ones really needed, and other scalers are just their variations.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Hi _n0p_!

I know but, the interactive mod scaler is a bit faster for increasing cpu clock speed on demand.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
You can set ondemand scaler parameters as you like.

I must be getting old i cant click the buttons as fast as it runs now

still no luck for me with WPA2 Enterprise (EAP-PEAP-MSChapV2). In fact, when selecting MSChapV2 in the drop-down, it does not stick and reverts back to default.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Does it behave the same with Olleh kernel?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
SuperDim / RootDim

It appears that latest RootDim 1.56 (formerly SuperDim) now saves profiles normally and can keep buttons lit.

Just select other lights / button-backlight / on and save profile.

how often it happens that your screen goes off and on when you press power button? With Olleh kernel?
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
It happens often but I can deal with that rather than the Phoenix kernal which u have to really press hard to wake up phone.

[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
OK, i'll leave that patch for myself :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
The dejitter patch used to work well when first implemented, but I must admit that it is becoming a nuisance for me also. But then again, so did the on/off prior to the patch. This weekend though, my wife tried to use my phone and thought my power button was broken.

Also I just wanted to add that although I haven't mentioned any problems with wifi, they continue to haunt me. However Wifi Fixer seems to take care of the problem seamlessly better than Wifi Reassociate did.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
First implementation wasn't aware of stale timer condition, and caused power button sometimes to stop working at all.

You can't measure the keypress delay when timer is stopped :)

--

WiFi. I've checked everything i could, and decided to take a little break, sorry.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
To be honest Sergei, it doesn't matter if wifi is fixed at all. Wifi Fixer does an adequate job in taking care of the problem with no user interaction needed at all. Other than the persistent icon in the notification bar, I can't even tell it's there. By no means should you feel like you need to apologize. You have led this rom far beyond any of the others and your attention to detail is second to none. Kudos to you...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Thank you, Shane!

Actually, except USSD and WiFi issue there's not many problems left :)

[Streak 5 Android Development] LloydPatten:
+2....very well done n0p, do not worry, a lot of times people install patches....it works and then they install apps, widgets and all kind of things, you cannot account for all the apps on market.

Do you have a system or strategy blueprint for Rom testing, a specific order to check things,....maybe if we had a strategy laid out you would not get.....'Wow man, flashed the Rom....its Awsome.......my ?????? is not working. When you install a Rom what procedure should we follow for testing,.....:confused:

Just a quick note that all kernels here:

Phoenix kernels also have refined dejitter patch that works much better at least on my device.

Running Olleh 407 with out any tweaks. I would like to try the Phoenix kernel... has the time advance bug resolved?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I've not experienced it on Phoenix kernel, but as it's nature is unknown now, chances are high it's still here.

Phoenix uses alternate highres timer, maybe this one is better.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
It maybe related to auto timesync system setting.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Fair enough. I know how to install the kernel.. Is there Olleh 407 kernel available if I have to revert to it from Phoenix?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Sure. Take a look at Phoenix kernel release post.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Awesome. Any recommendations to which oc level of Phoenix kernel i should try?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Well, you can try all, but overclocking effect is really minimal :)

Besides, from Attila experience, overclock may have negative effect on SD card on boot.

Normal (128-1267) range kernel should work fine in almost all conditions.

I personally have set conservative, 128-1075, 20% freq step and don't suffer any slowdowns.
[Streak 5 Android Development] droido101:
hey -nop- i'm using the olleh patch and the power button jittering is annoying, if you have a patch for that i'd love to have it.

borijess, they are the same, except frequency range and mugen support.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gregianos:
Just thought I'd share my experience with this ROM. I came from Maxidroid 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2 to 1.3 then to dsc 0.6b to 0.65 to 0.7. I haven't performed a factory reset since I started on Maxidroid and have well over 200 apps installed.

The only problems I have had in the whole time is Swype not working following the 0.7 install but I upgraded to the latest version which does lag a little but works otherwise, and wifi occasionally freezing, but this is usually sorted by flicking it off and back on again. My phone is currently 8 days since its last reboot and going strong.

You guys have done so well to make this phone something that I can't leave the house without, I take my hat off to you. Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Installed Phoenix kernel over olleh 407... now my streak is not going beyond the boot animation.

Boot animation starts and freezes.. 7 second cycles.

took the battery out, wiped Dalvik and cache... fixed permissions.. still the same..

Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TiGuy82:
Did you do a factory reset after install the ROM?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
I have been using Olleh 407 rom for the past month or so. Yes I did factory reset back then when I installed that rom. today I simply used streakmod recovery to install the phoenix kernel zip file. then wiped the dalvik cache and cache partition.. ended up in no boot situation.

then tried DSC_Olleh 407 kernel.. same result.

Now restoring nandroid backup.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TiGuy82:
You should do a factory reset after install DSC ROM
[Streak 5 Android Development] attila.m:
i had the same issue when i used SetCPU to uc/oc and had it set to 'set on boot'
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You misread Agent5150's post. He flashed a new kernel, not the entire ROM. Flashing a kernel doesn't require a factory reset, but as he notes, he wiped the dalvik cache and the cache partition.

@Agent5150: When you installed the new kernel, did you also fix permissions before rebooting? It might help and certainly wouldn't hurt.
[Streak 5 Android Development] abauer:
No need for factory reset, just redownload (maybe corrupt file ) and retry again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TiGuy82:
sorry! I was thinking about the rom
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Yes i used fix permission option but that did not help.

steps i took:

1.nandroid full backup.

2. Use streakmod recovery to install pheonix kernel.

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Wipe cache partition

5. Fix permissions

6. Reboot.

Result: stuck in a loop were boot amimation starts, freezes then starts again every 7 seconds.

Corrupt file...hmm..both Phoenix and dsc olleh kernels!!...lucky for me that i did a nandroid backup just before installing the new kernel.

I will give it another shot. And report back.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sparky4017:
Try reinstalling 07 over what you have should reinstall with out a problem
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Same problem. Downloaded Phoenix kernel again..same problem. Arrrrrggghhhh !!!

Restored 407.

This the very 1st time i am unable to install custom stuff on my streak.

Has anyone.tried this combination..olleh 407 rom and Phoenix kernel?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Quite unusual.

If you'll want to install kernel next time and stuck on bootanim, you might plug Streak to PC and do an

adb logcat

in command line to see what is actually happening.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TiGuy82:
This unusual situation happened on a LG G2X that my step-son has! Now I can't install any custom ROM, only the official one. I have no idea what he did... but I have no luck installing any custom ROM
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
Ran into same issue, DSC .7 never worked for me as standalone application steps I preformed were:

Install 407 recovery

Updated to 407 after reboot factory reset (don't know why I am just anal about things.....)

Install Streakmod

Install DSC .6 after reboot do a factory reset, after reboot wipe cache and davlaik cache, fix permissions

Install DSC .7 after dual reboots (yours after installing and DSC .7's automatic reboot), after reboot wipe cache and davlaik cache, fix permissions

Install the Phoenix kernel

My setup reads:

Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-DSC-Team-Phoenix+

Baseband: GAUSB1A1406214-US

OEM Version: DSC ROM

Build number: 0.7

Everything works, I overclock to 1.19, never had wifi freeze, just an all around awsome ROM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] llecaroz:
Installed dsc v0.7 in replacement of the dsc v0.65=no more battery drain ! cool !

really thx a lot !
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I've tested 0.7 in different (clean install / upgrade) conditions.

What issues have you encountered when installing 0.7?

So far only Swype/Youtube FC (on upgrade).

Clearing Swype data and reinstalling Youtube from market helps.

"Stuck at boot logo playing" most probably related to some Olleh DRM app, but without log i cannot tell.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
Thank you for the great ROM, glad I have finally migrated!

Is it a known bug or am I doing something wrong: for some reason in DSC v0.7 I cannot connect to PEAP/TLS/TTLS networks were phase-2 authentication is required. The problem is if I select some authentication method, e.g. MSCHAPV2, save the configuration and then open the network settings again - it gets reversed into "None"...

I have seen another forum member reporting this problem and was advised to install Olleh kernel. I tried doing this but with no positive effect - "Phase-2 authentication" remains set to "None".

Is it solvable?
[Streak 5 Android Development] slaydog:
Probably just my imagination, but...

For those with wifi problems, try going to Settings/Locations and Security, and uncheck the box that says "Use wireless networks".

Stop all of your wifi "fix" apps, keep sleep policy as "Never" and see how it works...

Like I said, probably just my imagination, but please try... :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
Yes, happens to me too...i.e. I cannot get the Phase-2 to stick which is what I think is causing my issue of being unable to connect to WPA2 Enterprise network.

n0p...is there a file that can be edited directly to store this config so we can see if passing the phase-2 would make it work? I don't know, but I suspect it might just be a config GUI issue that is causing this value not to be stored.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Just to be sure.

You have tested

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448927

with both Olleh and Phoenix kernel and no luck?

Next after flashing update in that topic and do a nandroid backup, followed by factory reset.

I really dunno, because framework in terms of wifi security is identical to 407.

--

I'll run diff check on 407/DSC framework tomorrow, maybe I did something wrong while trying to fix wifi issue.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
_n0p_

To clarify, all the "standard" password-protected networks I connected to worked fine, only the one at work which uses tricky enterprise authentication fails to connect (the phase-2 authentication method cannot be permanently selected, it resets to None all the time).

First I experienced this problem in a freshly installed DSC v0.7, Phoenix kernel (with full factory reset). Then, following your advise I fleshed the Olleh kernel (2.6.35.7-perf) and observed the same behaviour - all basic networks connect fine, but the enterprise one fail.

If it help, the StreakDroid 2.4.4 ROM from DJ_Steve which I used before worked with that phase-2 authentication...

In any case, it is a minor problem (at least for me - I can use 3G when at work), but I believe your target is perfection :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Perfection leads to infinity and we don't have that amount of time :)

Anyway, have you tried flashing this post 0.7 update?

More, if you have some time to test - does it work in 407 FW?
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
_n0p_, if I try installing DSC .7 over 407 through Streakmod, will at get stuck at Dell logo, prior to DSC boot animation. When I install 407, DSC .6 than DSC .7 boots up fine. Am loving it, rocking it, enjoying the hell out of it. DSC ROM just plain kicks butt and is what has keep my from jumping to Galaxy S II.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Thank you.

Had you performed Factory Reset that time?

It's really interesting, because I thought 0.7 should install fine over any gb variant.

--

Basically, installer script is just the same, only difference is Phoenix kernel, and it would be interesting to try getting log in that condition. If Streak would not connect to PC in that state it would mean that kernel cannot start.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
_n0p_, tried factory reset but no luck, followed your instructions with DSC .7 as stand alone install, but just would not get past Dell logo. Did DSC .6 followed by DSC .7 as trouble shooting method and it worked. Don't have fancy theme, use what I cooked up on UOT, launcher pro and removed bunch of apps I don't use and have zero complaints. Actually I admire guys in the DSC team that can write code and make ok product even better. Your ability has had me thinking lately of taking some linux and java classes. With the thought that I might be able to assist in Android ROM development at some point in the future.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
@_n0p_

Any advantage to setting up a script to zipalign all apks at boot? I noticed a lot of roms for other devices do this and it seems pretty simple to implement if there is indeed an advantage. Just a thought for .8 release. ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
n0p...I believe you can re-create this quite easily to debug as you don't need a WPA2 Enterprise/802.1x EAP network to see the behavior of the disappearing phase-2 selection.

All you need to do is setup a new Wifi (Add WiFi Network --> 802.1x EAP) Then try and select something for Phase2 and save and go back in to modify and it will revert to 'none'.
