Sure, but as instability reported, please make a nandroid backup before updating.

Battery drain can be caused by WiFi timeout (i think i had set it to high value in diff 2)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bugscze:
I can add my instability experience with 1.7... Streak turns off when screen is off. On 1.7-4 diff no problem at all. I am using UV, Tweaks, default WiFi driver with normal, 128-998 MHz conservative.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Bugscze, this should solve it:

Undervolting tryouts

I finally put in Phoenix kernel a method to configure voltage values by user / on the fly.

Configuring undervoltage:​

Changing this array parameter will alter voltage values:

/sys/module/acpuclock_8x50/parameters/vdd_table

It has 13 separated with comma entries for all (including sleep) frequencies:

19200,128000,245760,384000,576000,768000,998400,1075200,1152000,1190400,1228800,1267200,1344000

Note: first (sleep) frequency is included only for index sanity, it's voltage is not effective and set by CPU itself.

Old "uv" parameter is now obsolete and left out only for DSConfig compatibility.

Examples:​

Set std voltage values:

echo 1000,1000,1000,1000,1050,1150,1300,1300,1400,1425,1475,1525,1550 > /sys/module/acpuclock_8x50/parameters/vdd_table

Set pre 1.7 lowered voltage values:

echo 1000,950,975,1000,1000,1125,1200,1225,1250,1325,1375,1475,1525 > /sys/module/acpuclock_8x50/parameters/vdd_table

Set 1.7 lowered voltage values:

echo 1000,925,975,1000,1000,1125,1200,1225,1250,1325,1375,1475,1525 > /sys/module/acpuclock_8x50/parameters/vdd_table

DSC UV config tool is only planned, really wish i have more time for this.

[Streak 5 Android Development] nadastry:
Afaik everytime a ROM (e.g. Dell Update Package) is installed there is a question for sending info and data (?) to google with two checkboxes.

These checkboxes do not appear in DSC.

How can I deactivate these options after setting everything up (adding an account does not show them).
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Interesting question, i didn't think about it.

We need to find parameters that Setup Wizard changes for this boxes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nadastry:

Tearing with 55fps patch enabled.

I have tearing of my graphics images when I enable the 55fps patch. It occurs when scrolling through menus, contact list, call logs, and even in games. Ayone else notice this. Much like on a desktop when the refresh rate does not match the fps. As a result I can not use this patch Oh, It occurs with CRT ANIMATION on or off and whether I use MDP or GPU. I should try it with HUNDERTAIN TWEAK disabled as I use this also.

I also can not reliably use the LOCK SCREEN Icon in the pull down shade... it does not work.

How much power does under volting save on the battery? Can it harm the cpu?

Thank you,

Jasper
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Yes i face the same with 55 fps... not able to figure out as to why it is being caused. Have tried all the dpi's 120 , 140 , 160 , 240 but still that tearing is there. Tried with UV on and UV off , tried with stock Dalvik vm dex parameter and with hunderteins but no change. Finally gave up on 55 fps.

In regards to the UV I keep the UV on but i havent noticed much of a difference in battery life. Although compared to the older DSC roms the battery drain is more most probably because i have kept the wifi pm as OFF/OFF.

Sergei putting # before renice command in init.streak.post_boot.sh and dsc.samrt_reassoc.sh seems to have solved the phone app issue. now the dialing happens instantly instead of the delay of 25 sec. Wifi timeout works stable for me at 4 sec and wifi pm being off/off . If I got below 4 the wifi goes to white icons when the device goes to sleep. So I am pretty happy that wifi issues have resolved.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
55 fps patch is actually quite experimental. I suspect there's some deviations in our screen matrix specifications, so it won't work just for everyone. Just keep it at 45 fps.

Kartikaye, finally :)

Sergei the wifi issues with regards to disc have been resolved but a new issue seems to have come up.

It doesnt want to turn off wifi.... i was using the device on wifi since 2 days and the first day i was able to turn off wifi successfully and it switched to mobile data but tonight it just didnt want to turn off. Even when i tried airplane mode it disabled the network but wifi was still on and connected. Finally i had to reboot.

Seems like it fell in love with my access point tht it just doesnt want to get disconnected from it... lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] mokokawi:
Fell n love with your access point.....hahaha
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
n0p, it is still happening, although not as often as on 1.4 and 1.5.

the wifi will not let go and battery starts draining.

a few days ago I picked up my Dell and there was no internet connection, facebook said.

the wifi icon was on in white and the 3g icon was on in green.

I could switch off the 3g but never could switch it on again.

wifi wasn't reacting to anything.

in settings the check mark was green and when I tap on that it went from green to grey but the check did not disappear.

when I go to wifi settings the check mark is green again.

wifi is stuck and the only solution is a reboot.

all the settings in dscconfig are in the way that you placed theme in.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

is anybody using facebook on DSC?

something strange is occurring with facebook and I don't know if it has anything to do with an update of facebook or that it started after a dsc update.

when I open facebook and I want to react on a message I tap on the squire to write something and while the keyboard is coming up the page is scrolling like mad.

when I though the first letter the page is scrolling again and stops, then the next letter the page is scrolling again.

when I am ready writing I have to scroll by hand to the place where I have been writing to admit my thing.

Quite happy with 1.7. Quick BaseBand Question

Dear All,

Thank you for your previos informative replies. I will leave 55fps second patch disabled.

I am curious which baseband you all are using? I have GAUSB1A146214.US installed and it runs great with DSC 1.7.

I have seen reference to using GAUSB1A136612.US as it appears to provide better sound in phone calls. I also realize DSC 1.7 is baseband independent.

Which version is most appropriate? Is the baseband normally updated automatically with the rom? Thank you.

Jasper
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
I just restarted my S5.

It hang at the Softbank Logo.

So I took out the battery and it started.

After restart the device was resetted. No apps, no nothing. As I just installed DSC 1.7 from new.

Note: I did not delete the zip files on the sd card. Could this be the error?

:(
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
That will happen to mine about once a week... usually if it gets a little warm from using GPS for several hours on a trip and then i unplug and set it down... when I come back to it then it will be stuck on Dell logo...

[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
The issue that you are facing I have this issue but only on the 160 dpi, on the 120 dpi I have a diff problem that is if in the news feed if I use the quick comment box rather than opening the entire message or the pic then after i submit the comment it wont stay at that area but scroll way down. So a workaround is not to use the quick comment box but instead open that post and then comment that way there is no scrolling

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------

Jasper i think u missed out a 0 between the 4 and 6 in that BB of yours. Neways for the BB flash the one which suits your device. For me the 366 had a low call volume and I had issues with wifi on 366. I am on the 406 BB and the call quality and sound is better than the 366 and even the wifi issues are not there. So you can test by flashing 366 as for some reason different streak behave differently with each setting. You already have an example of the 55 FPS patch as your and mine have an issue but for others its working fine. So check which is better and then flash it.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Sergei thanks for all your help, this rom is working perfectly with just the following 3 issues.

1) wifi driver wont turn off sometimes and I have to reboot.

2) Memory gets low very quickly and then the phone starts lagging and I have to use system panel lite to end task. Whenever the lag starts i check the system panel lite and it shows between 70M - 51M available. and if i do end all tasks it reaches to 174 M free. Not much apps or services are running so i think the memory management is not working correclty to clear out memory.

3) Battery backup is lower on this 1.7 , ( i think cause of the wifi settings but when i check the cpu spy deep sleep is happ properly) so need to think as to what is eating the battery. This Mugen instead of giving me the regular 48 - 60 hrs is not just giving me a 24 hrs backup.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Hmmm haven't thought anything about busybox.... but yeah currently I'm running the latest which is 1.20.2 if I'm not mistaken along with the latest updated app... what do you maybe suggest?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
No, I didn't update busybox :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Upgrading busybox has caused me issues too... so i avoid it..
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
Well.. frankly speaking, I haven't faced this issue on my streak but on my other phone where manually copying 'busybox' from /system/xbin to /system/bin (and vice versa) does help me recover my previous state. Maybe you can give it a shot the next time you face 'factory reset' situation.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
Yeah, I did upgrade Busybox :(

How can I hide the app from Play Store?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Updating the app doesn't update the installed version of busybox... You have to physically run the app and choose a busybox version to install
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
dont hide it , just dont update it.

Sergei with whatever changes have been done on this rom , somehow movie playing is a problem. I have tried mx player, mobo player , vlc player and .mkv files are always causing a proble. The video lags , the audio track is either ahead of the scene or behind. I have verified the movie and it plays fine on the pc and on my friends phone. Before this update movie playing was not an issue at all. I have tried with BFQ & NOOP scheduler but the same effect. With NOOP its worse as the video lags badly.

What was the default scheduler on the rom earlier as the same movie was working fine on the 1.4 and 1.6 .
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
Ok, I will try ...

scheduler was always Conservative.

But n0p added something (idea borrowed from Smartass) so that it ramps up to 5xx MHz quickly and not so fast afterwards as the CPU is running around 600 most energy efficient. (MHz per mW)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
vankooten, Kartikaye:

Cannot disable WiFi:

TBH, no idea. Driver gets stuck, but dunno why.

Movie and battery:

To run a fair test, set this values for conservative governor:

#CPU
echo "conservative" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 70 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/up_threshold
echo 30 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/down_threshold
echo 200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/sampling_rate
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/sampling_down_factor
echo 128000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
#echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 998400 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/freq_step

And 1s timeout - Fast/Max for WiFi.

Memory - set Dalvik heap to 32MB. I have 254-230MB free after pressing "End all" in System Panel.

--

Facebook - i quit using native app. Using m.facebook.com.

--

Self-reset - this could happen on /firstboot partition (NAND) corruption.

--

Busybox - might be, but i don't see a direct dependency. I personally removed Busybox Installer for quite a while.

--

jasper1234, choose yourself.

I'm happy with 369 BB/DSP

Other changes, planned for 2.0:

Replace Equalizer with DSP Manager.

Remove Busybox installer, include 1.8.1 binary as default - one shipped with 407 (busybox_1P8P1).

Symlink DroidWall script to init.d so it won't leak.

UV tryouts - my system works almost ok on 128000:800mV.

[Streak 5 Android Development] nadastry:
Just the question:

Where is the firstboot partition?

Is it on the internal SD Card?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
/firstboot partiotion is located on Streak's NAND flash (/dev/mtd/mtd7)
[Streak 5 Android Development] nadastry:
So this is an additional chip on the board?

How do I check for bad sectors?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
nanddump /dev/mtd/mtd7 -f /dev/null

will show you info about /firstboot and perform a dummy dump.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Crinos512:

is there a fsck function?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I have included nandtest utility in the ROM but i certainly don't advise to run it on running system, so it needs to be run in recovery mode.

And i personally haven't used it, so no prediction on results.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
I did that in Terminal Emulator.

No bad sectors.

It happened again today. I shutdown the S5, then it hang at the Softbank logo.

I took out the external SD card, no boot.

After putting it back in there was the DSC Logo and the "DSC factory reset" :crying:
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Would you provide reset conditions?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
What are reset conditions?

I simply shutdown the device as normal. No special conditions. It woke up as dsc factory resetted although I didnt take out the battery this time.

According to user cdzo72 it began with 17 release, not with the pre 17.

I cannot be sure about this because I flashed the S5 a lot since I got it.

I will revert to 16 these days.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Have you UV enabled? (because I don't think of any other reason, and even UV shouldn't do that)
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:
I do have uv enabled.

But I did a stress test with fixed frequencies. Every frequency was stable. Including 128.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
That's wise, but just to make sure - run with UV disabled for a week.

For example:

I was running 128000:800mV fine for a day then got two consequent reboots.

@ 825 was almost the same.

Now testing 850mV.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Is there ne way possible to remove the battery charging disabled issue from the rom... my original dell charger stopped working so i am using my ipod charger as it has the same specs but since this 1.7 i have started getting issues abt battey charging disabled... i earlier though i was a one odd which got resolved by rebooting but its not that...its everytime causing that issue
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Supported charger power as for battery sourcecode:

500mA, 1000mA, 1500mA.

No battery related code changed in 1.7
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
This charger has the same specs as the dell charger.... only diff that this is a slow charger unlike the dell one...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Charge speed is determined only by charger mA value, nothing else. Also, the cable itself may be the problem.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
I dis not UV enabled and it still reboots but not at random... its.always after heavy GPS use. Once I get home it will reboot, may take 5 minutes may take 2 hours or may wait til night

.. but when it reboots its gonna be factory reset.... was not having this on any 1.7pre releases nor on 1.6
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
The only difference between pre 1.7 diff 5 and 1.7 - a conservative governor hack.

Hmm. Might it be that MTD table supplied to kernel?

Issue with wifi only for my work Access Point

I found out that the issues I was having with my streak were only occurring with my work Access Point. Is the something the streak does not like about certain access points or maybe certain encryption types or authentication types (wpa or wep)? I know my acess point is ok because everything else works with it like (iphones,laptops, and my Inspire 4g). _nop_ thanks for the work you have done with this I guess I was not having the wifi freeze bug but my streak for some reason does not like my work wifi ap.?!
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Well, i have experience with at least three APs, all have WPA2-PSK.

On one i do have some freezes.

It's either AP chipset or QoS policy.

Setting higher WiFi timeout should help.

On 1.7 the reboot with mounted SD card was working properly.

Currently I am on 1.6. Doesnt mount on reboot, only on shutdown.

MTD parameter tells kernel how is nand flash is partitioned.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordofazeroth:

Can you tell me how to find out if it installed properly?

Maybe the kernel build number in "about"?

(1.7 and the boot mentioned above)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
