[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
EDIT: I think I have enough testers now. I'll take a few stragglers for a little bit but the testing window is now closed. I will leave the thread open until tomorrow so the testers can leave me notes on their experience (apart from what they shared on irc). Thank you for all who showed up to test! Stay tuned for another round of testing soon!

Most of you are familiar with my Genocide kernel for Froyo. For the next couple of hours I need a handful of testers for a 1.4ghz kernel compiled from Gingerbread source. My personal testing seems to be pretty positive so I need some other people to beat on the kernel for a little while.

So far the kernel has support for the following:

eh17 only (cm7 kernel available but I would prefer eh17 users)

overlock and undervolt support (100mhz, 200mhz, 400mhz, 600mhz, 800mhz, 1.0ghz, 1.1ghz, 1.2ghz, 1.3ghz, 1.4ghz)

rfs & ext4 support

bootanimation.zip/sanim.zip support

init.d/ support

keytimer patches

latest su and superuser.apk (installed automatically if not already installed)

initramfs from chris41g's eh17plus kernel (slightly modified)

and a few more tweaks

Please don't ask to test if you don't really know or feel comfortable using experimental stuff. I try to test everything thoroughly that I put out but I am still not responsible if something really bad happens. I will how ever help any way I can to get you back going. It is important that you make a CWM backup before you flash the experimental kernel. My main focus right now is the overclocking and undervolting stability but everything needs to be tested more.

If you would like to test find me on irc for the next few hours. Please stay in the channel and give feedback of what works and doesn't work. Join in and give it hell!

[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
testing going good for me...it's ready for more people to test
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I wanna test! First lol

Edit: dint quite see it wasn't ready for cm7
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
i can compile a cm7 version to test the overclock stuff but i was holding off on that to make sure we had no weird bugs introduced by cm7
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
I would die to test the CM7 kernel, but I have an EH17 Nand on standby :) shout out for Rodderik my Hero
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
i have eh17 and cm7 versions of the kernel that people can test
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Ill take a CM7 flavor then lol im excited :D
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Me too :)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Can I flash this on Hurricane 1.6 EXT4? If so I am in.
[Epic 4G General] keithkevorkian:
I'll test the eh17 version
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
eh17 kernel supports ext4 so yeah it should be fine...just do a cwm backup first just in case
[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
I will test out a cm7 version. I am always in to test.

Engage slippyfist!!
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
If you need someone else to test on Hurricane ROM 1.6 let me know. I test software for a living :-)
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
every one who shows up in the chat channel is welcome to test until i close this topic in a little while
[Epic 4G General] jiffyunderground:
I wouldn't mind testing the CM7 version.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I can't get on the web chat from the phone, can someone let me know what browser to use or just pm me a link for the cm7 kernel
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
i'd like to keep the links on irc...you can use andchat from the market and connect to irc.irondust.net and join the channel #devphone
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
ok so i can keep all the testers that are still around straight, please answer these few questions for me when you finish testing. i'll leave this thread open until tomorrow.

1. which kernel did you test? (eh17/cm7)

2. what rom and version are you using?

3. tell me a detailed story about your overclocking experience. (what works, what didn't work, what you did or didn't do, were you able to go higher on froyo stable, etc)

4. did you find anything else that didn't work as expected?

5. any other comments/suggestions/moans/complaints?
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Freezes above 122 for me on CM7

Also noticed I was plugged in to USB and the battery was decreasing and not charging
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I'm running this on cm7.1 the latest build.

This appears 100% stable even at 1.4ghz (I always bump core voltage up to 1400 and internal to 1150 though from previous experience.

the hardware keyboard misses nothing *keyboard sweep time* qwertyuiop asdfghjkl zxcvbnm

I have no complaints at all. Just looking forward to cm7 having ext4 support.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
1.Tested EH17 and will run it through a couple of days.

2. Hurricane 1.6 EXT4

3. My phone is a release date sissy phone and only goes to 1.2Ghz. Same as when I OC'd with Tegrak. Locks up real fast at 1.3. I believe that is all I could run on froyo as well

4.No issues yet. Will check back on this

5. Other than you are awesome for all your great work?

Thanks man! Flash was smooth, kept all my boot ani's and settings.

Other than my own stupidity with the SetCPU thing...made me feel like such a noob...LOL!
[Epic 4G General] cancrusher:
1: eh17

2: randomrom thunderhawk 1.1 (eg22)

3: in the past have never tried going past 1200 and 1200 was stable for me with a linpack of ~21.064. 1300 and 1400 causes the phone to become unstable and locks up or lots of FCs

4&5: nothing as of now
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
1. Eh17

2. ACS ICS eh17

3. Installed voltage control and tried 1.3 and my phone instacrashed. 1.3 works for me with tegrak and on froyo. 1.1 works and I usually have no need to go higher

4. Nope, everything works fine

5. Voodoo sound, voodoo color, more schedulers
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
1. which kernel did you test? (eh17/cm7) EH17

2. what rom and version are you using? Hurricane ROM 1.6

3. tell me a detailed story about your overclocking experience. (what works, what didn't work, what you did or didn't do, were you able to go higher on froyo stable, etc) 200mhz min, 1400mhz max, absolutely no issues. Was hitting 1400mhz easily on Froyo as well.

4. did you find anything else that didn't work as expected? Will report later after more thorough testing

5. any other comments/suggestions/moans/complaints? Awesome work :)
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Odd... on ondemand 1.3ghz it jumped to 1.4 and froze....
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
that may happen with broken governors that we usually have for the galaxy s phones :/
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Oh, and does the cm7 one support ext4?
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
no it's missing the ext4 mounts in the init.rc but support is built into the kernel...you could repack/recompile it
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Got 6 out of 10 satellite locks inside the house!!! Could never lock more than 5 outside the house before!!!

So which governor is best to use?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
1. CM7

2. CM7 Deca's SelfKang 10/22

3. OC works for the most part and I stayed on the default governor and i/o. At 1.3GHz, I had a reboot a few minutes after applying the frequency. At 1.4GHz, I froze immediately after applying the frequency. Im stable at 1.2GHz and flying. I played a few games (angry birds rio, dragon, fly!) and had no problems at all. On froyo I could go up to 1.4GHz and was there for a few months with no problems at all. When I reboot the OC/UV settings dont stick but we talked about that in the irc. I did not perform any benchmarks of any kind because I find them irrelevant.

4. & 5. Not ATM but ill be sure to let you know if anything happens/comes to mind asap

It was awsome being able to test this. Thank you for the opportunity Rodderik :D
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
PM me if any changes are made and you need another straggler for EH17 testing

Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G #knowdat!
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
Haha read through and still saw requests to be testers.

Buuuuut CM7. Genocide for CM7 was good. Unstable at times. But good.

Hook me up with one if you get around to it?
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
also very unofficial ...i was just curious if it would work..never released it but i think it went around on the "underground"
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
:eek: i can't wait to try a cm7 kernel!!! i really like how it runs right now, but i would love to see genocide features on it. CAN'T WAIT!!!
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
"underground" Hahaha! And yes. It really did. Truth be told, the first thing I did was try and flash it when Deca's builds started popping up. To no avail.

Over clocking actually tended to slow it down. 1.2ghz worked well enough though.

For a while it was just cool enough to have. CM7 as it was with tweaks? Cha!
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
1. CM7

2. Deca's latest CM7 build from 10/22

3. On Froyo, my phone only barely held on at 1.3 (one of the kernels from back then worked, the other didn't - can't remember which, though). 1.4 was a no-go... but 1.2 was stable, though it caused a little extra heating (not as extreme as running wireless tether with 4g while the phone is plugged in).

This kernel yielded similar results - 1.3 and above caused instant lock and reboot upon applying the settings. 1.2 is still running smooth, and showed an improvement on benchmarks... and no abnormal increase in heat, even when plugged in :)

I ran quadrant (despite its inaccuracy, it's just a relatively well-known gauge, and a habit, lol), linpack and smartbench 2010. I pretty much forgot the exact quadrant results after seeing that it did perform better. Linpack showed a consistent gain from 15-17 on stock frequencies to 19-21@1.2 ghz (I raised the min to force it to 1.2 for the first round, then left the min at stock for the second round, same results). Smartbench 2010 also showed an increase as expected, so OC is definitely working.

Since then, I've been using the phone as normal, with some browsing of the web and xda, texting and phone calls - no unusual behavior there. The bugs that I experienced are known bugs from the current CM7 build, and are minor enough that I could keep the test kernel as a daily, for extended testing... the mic feedback and wifi stability issues returned, but since this kernel is built from the same source as the other test kernel, and the EH17 testers didn't report either while testing with a few different EH17 roms, I'd say that Deca's fixes aren't in this version or the problem is actually elsewhere in the CM7 build... but that's for another thread

4. No new problems were introduced

5. No complaints, all is well. I just can't wait to see CM7 with the bugs fixed, and one of Rodderik's custom kernels under the hood ;)
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Rodderik, good to see you back to releasing fantastic kernels
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
1. Cm7

2. Cm7 10/22

3. IDK about froyo because I broke my phone awhile ago and when I got this one, I odined straight to EH06. This CM7 kernel froze for me as soon as I applied changes for 1.4 ghz and 1.3ghz, but 1.2ghz was stable and speedy.

4. No new problems.

5. No New complaints

This CM7 kernel was noticeably faster, even on 1ghz than the standard cm7 kernel. Thank you very much Rodderik.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Well I just had a strange issue. I drive to work every day and stream music to my car stereo via BT A2DP. At around 25 minutes into the drive, the audio started screeching (never happened before), and I had to stop the music. I then parked a few minutes later, walked into my office then tried turning my phone on.. it wouldn't get out of deep sleep. I have my minimum set as 200mhz, max as 1400mhz. Had to pull battery.
[Epic 4G General] keithkevorkian:
Tested this on cpk urban and acs ics v5 and so far its been great. I've had it pinned at 1.4 and have had no reboots. linpack was consistently in the mid 24's and smartbench was 1696 3848. Also my battery does not get really hot at 1.4 and the battery life at 1.2 is much better then what I used to have. so far I haven't had any thanks for letting me test
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Had 6 out of 10 sat locks last night but can't reproduce that today. It is back to locking half of the found satellites of 5 out of 11...wtf? Keyboard is awesome though, no more skips!
[Epic 4G General] Mike_77:
That's my project for tonight, if I get out of work in time.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
To get full gps locks?
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
I'm excited to see what this kernel might do, even though I'm worried my refurbished replacement might not handle things well, but I can still hope.

As you get closer to your release, I'd love to see the speed/voltage values you're using, so I can compare to what I've got working on my ROM. (I'm not asking to test your kernel, I'm patient; I'd just like to compare.)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Got another freeze while going through applications in settings on 1.2 (man my phone sucks) and it caused it to reboot trying to get it to unfreeze. Not the same as a randomn reboot. Still none of those. Set it down to 1100 Mhz now and still seems the same as 1200 so I am good. Also someone posted a real GPS fix in development that I threw on with Hurricane 1.6 and get 7 out of 8 locks indoors! Here is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321049
[Epic 4G General] cornaljoe:
1. EH17 Beta 1 and 2

2. Stock Deodexed EH17

3. Beta 1 OCed to 1.4 without problems scoring 24.5 Mflops and 1650/3750 in SB2010. Beta 2 OCed to 1.4 increased benches to 25 Mflops and 1700/3800 but would cause freezes that required a battery pull. It also overheated in Beta 2 where I didn't notice any in Beta 1.

4. No

5. No

Thanks for your work and look forward to testing future builds.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
These are numbers I expected to see. Very similar to Nexus Gingerbread running 1.4 or 1.44. Nearly identical actually. Nice work Rodderik. Once the official drops you guys are going to see some outstanding results. I run 1.46 on my Nexus but like I said, nearly identical scores. I miss my Epic with new goodies like this. I love testing kernels. Have fun guys
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Hmmm... second time in 2 days where I can't wake the phone up from deep sleep.. phone is obviously on, but the screen just will not turn on. 200mhz min. Should I screw with the voltage?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes. Try boosting 200 Mhz by 50 mV maybe. I had it happen once with a third party battery. None with OEM battery.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
I'm on OEM battery.. voltage control says all of my voltages are at max. 200mhz shows at 950mV.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Def go to 1000 and try that. That is what we were running in the Tegrak/SetCPU fix.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Guess I need Tegrak for that.. the problem with Voltage Control is that all of the frequencies have the max voltage already set.
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
the paid version of voltage control lets you overvolt a little or you could do it manually from a shell via the sysfs stuff look at the Advanced Overclock/Undervolt Method in the Genocide thread...it says not to use negative numbers and i blocked it from overvolting on that kernel but this test kernel you should be able to use negative numbers to overvolt it...i wouldn't go crazy (i wouldn't go over but 50mV max) and i'm not responsible if you screw something up :)

on that note i'm going out of town for the weekend as usual...be back sunday
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Thanks :) .. will do.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Rod, are you releasing this for EH17 soon or is there going to be a few enhancements and another trial run?
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
it runs super stable for me and quite a few others but not for as many as i would like...i'm going to have to tweak on it some and probably do another round of testing next week...there is still a few more things i want to include in it besides the oc/uv stuff
[Epic 4G General] rjdhill:
been running eh17 for a couple day . 1st day went 16hrs no voltage tweaks and had 26% battery left when i put it on the charger. had no freeze no force closes . high score on linpak somewhere between 23.6 and 24.in 3 different test.

running it today with slight voltage changes . things are pretty much the same but i did have 1 freeze watching youtube. not sure it even had anything to do with the kernel.

i previously ran ec05 with great battery life. becuase i couldnt deal with random reboots and force closes all the time that eh17 had .

thank you rodd and cant wait to try your next release.

fyi : using setcpu, cpu spy and autostarts to keep unwanted apps from starting in the background.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I am really amazed about it. Between your kernel and the GPS fix just put out, I am a happy camper! I hope I don't miss your next testing.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
On cm7 with this kernel, I get the whistle again.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
This is why Rodderik has always been one of my favorite devs. He wont just release something if 1 person says its good. Much respect Rodderik
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
i didn't get to test the kernel, but every time i had trouble with waking from deep sleep was because i had the wrong governor set. i forget which one it was, but only on-demand or conservative worked for some reason or other
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Did you use that special vm g-apps you posted a couple days ago cuz I used that and got the whistle about the same time I tested this kernel reason being is that it installed the voice dialer app which was known to cause the whistle. Just delete that reboot and no more whistle.
[Epic 4G General] cancrusher:
I switched back to Hurricane 1.6 EXT4 and haven't had any random reboots yet, usually my phone would reboot 2-3 times a day on an eh17 rom.

I think my phone doesn't play nice with changes to stock voltages... still running smoothly 98% of the time, but I have experienced one issue on (so far) rare occasions - the touchscreen stops responding.

It happens during normal use, and I have not experienced it upon initial wakeup, only after the screen has been on for at least a minute or two - the most recent occurance was last night while I was typing a reply via XDA app (so nothing CPU intensive). I hit the power button to put the phone to sleep, and woke it up again immediately, and all was well.

I was at work, so I couldn't get a logcat (break was too short), but if it happens again while I'm not busy, I will be sure to capture the debugging info.

Has anyone else ran into this?

Sent from my CyanogenModded Epic
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That was what we call a freeze. Lower your overclock speed and you probably won't get those anymore. I had to go down to 1100 Mhz.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Any way I can still test this? I seem to have missed out. :(
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Check your PM. Rod is away for the weekend and will be back tomorrow. He will be running another test on the next version soon.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Not really, if it had frozen then it would have required a complete reboot. The hardware keyboard still worked and ads continue to animate, etc.

The touch functionality was simply unresponsive until I turned the screen off and back on. And OC settings don't automatically reapply on boot with the CM kernel yet, so I wasn't overclocking at all.

[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
This is running great on Thunderhawk. Battery life does not seem to be negatively impacted so far. Keyboard works wonderfully! Finally! :D

EH17

Thunderhawk 10/18 (EG22)

A slightly higher voltage is needed compared to the stock kernel (+25mv or so)

Here are my current stable (so far) settings:

1400mhz - 1325mv

1300mhz - 1275mv

1200mhz - 1225mv

1100mhz - 1200mv

1000mhz - 1125mv

800mhz - 1075mv

600mhz - 1050mv

400mhz - 1025mv

200mhz - 925mv

100mhz - 875mv

Not yet. ;)

Great work! :D

Voltage control was giving me some problems, I am using SetCPU to adjust the voltage now and it is working properly. Edits below.

One strange thing, at 1400mhz I cannot make the phone freeze no matter the voltage, running at 1175mv currently and it runs perfect.

I've never been able to run that low of voltage at 1.4ghz, it makes me think that it is not actually changing the voltage.

At other speeds I can make it freeze, for example if I set 1000mhz to 1075mv, it will freeze instantly.

Same thing at 1300mhz, 1125mv and it runs fine.

1200mhz at 1100mv will freeze instantly, same with 1100mhz at 1100mv.

Edit: OK, I was able to get it to freeze, but not at 1400/1400 or 1300/1300, I had to set it to 1300/1400. Strange.

Edit2: OK, now it will freeze at 1400/1400 and 1300/1300. I was running 1400/1400 for about an hour before at 1175mv and it did not freeze. Strange x2.

Edit3: I think voltage control is just bugging out on me, sometimes i'll set to to 1400/1400, then to 1300/1300 and back to 1400/1400 and it will stay stuck at 1300/1300, then I have to set it to something else and back to 1400/1400 for it to take effect. :confused:

Would you by any chance be willing to pass that along to me? I'd be eternally grateful :-)
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
It'll be out soon enough. I've built my first kernel for CM7 off of Rod's and others amazing work. But it's best to give it time until he's fully done rather than passing this around..

I'm not trying to be negative or nag or anything however lol.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Rod, don't know if you are still monitoring this thread but the only issue I keep getting is a browser freeze with the stock browser. It just freezes and if you press the power button it will reboot. Other than that no other problems on EH17.
