News update!

New Kernels to TEST!

For SG2 device!

Kernel : Kernel_Dorimanx-SGII-ICS-Date-22-04-12-Time-02-51 (DELETED!)

Kernel_Dorimanx-SGII-ICS-Date-22-04-12-Time-04-26.zip (UPLOADED)

*Sync with CM9 kernel.

*Fixed Location of modules! now wifi will work with latest CM9 release!

*Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 Android as CM9 rom and kernel

*Added lots of addons see GIT

*Tuned 1000Mhz voltage

*Fixed GPU voltage tuning.

*Added my SQLITE that is tuned for max I/O performance to Kernel!

Now it's will be install with kernel on any CM9 or forked from ICS roms!

Will not be included for MIUI, i dont know if they use the same SQL.

*Performance and stability are great, but need to test by more people.

For HD2 Device!

Kernel 6.6C BETA (in beta folder)

*Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 Android as CM9 rom and kernel

*Added some CPU code fix from CM9 kernel.

*Added GZIP compression instead of XZ, should boot faster and operate faster,

Gzip is the lowest compression, so CPU working less to operate drivers from kernel.

All should work ok, but i need info if all ok..

BOOT:

STABILITY:

DRAIN:

COMMUNICATION:

By the way i have fixed the sound bug by tuning the sound drivers in 6.6B it's all set in this one too...

HAVE FUN!

P.S

I see that CM9 release new GB bravo source code at 21/04/12! so i can make some new ROM for HD2 :)

i will mess with it tomorrow.

And if all ok with SG2 kernel i will start the thread!

I have already people loading my kernel stuff to there kernels!

So i need to push hard to get recognized in SG2 community!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AlbertJansen:
Can someone tell me what I doing wrong. My governor always jumping after a short time back at conservative. It does not matter what software I use (SetCPU, No-frills Control CPU CPU or master). It jumps back after a short time to conservative. But for so far it's a great kernel!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pirlano:
just use Setting->Cyanogenmod->Performance->Set governor and check "Apply on startup" :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hypergamer1231:
Awesome I love you goys for the effort to provide me detailed info god bless you all

[HD2 Android NAND Development] sam razzy:
Hey... if I'm using your kernel is there any need of swap or ext4 partition??? Coz last day after testing your kernel... zram was not working... even I informed you about the bugs that I found... like when I get calls in d deep sleep.. ringtone and screen freezes... I guess its bcos that second core is off... :)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
zram, will not give you unlimited services in cm9, its not work like that.

about other things, update latest cm9, and install my latest kernel.

then check :)

What do you mean.

Why do you have always GPS on?

There are many apps who use it but do not need it if you do not need Navigation at the moment.

I only turn it on for Navigation apps and so no problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
gps wakeup removed if you dont use wifi location, if you freeze location servises apk.

no drain any more, but you loose wifi location.

Wifi awesome

data ok

battery drain while playing real racing 2 with 2g data on in background drain is between 300-500 ma guys need your help on this

standby drain checking will report later

speed quite snappy

awesome combo and graphics are great as well now that Dori is getting a HD 2 am super happy love your work dori thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] maddoc1007:
where is locatiin services apk cant find it in titanium can only find network location 1.0.0 is this what we freeze? as i dont use gps.

latest kernel

boot. Ok fast

wifi. Working good

calls n texts. Good no problems

sound. Excellent

nluetooth. have to test

responsiveness. Zoom zoom very fast.

games. Working

zram. Working

swap. working better

So far latest kernel looks like a real keeper and seems better than previous 1. still high battery drain with dolphin browser like 12% in 5minutes. why is dolphin so battery hungry any1 know a replacement browser as good as dolphin but less battery hungry?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zyclone:
+1 for this

New beta kernel ( 21.04 ) is very fast in wifi.

All seems ok for now.

Your "Blind development" is better than other dev's work.:D:eek::D

Happy Sunday to you and family ........
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hypergamer1231:
You already rule the HD2 world Sir

Well I bought a used Hd2 3 months back and since then I have used all roms

The first 20 roms have been flashed by me always and without a doubt your rom + kernel are awesome. Thanks a ton for that

Now about the 3.1.6.2 rom + 6.6c = all is awesome no issues except my battery drain in complete standby is 15-20 MA with data off using juice defender

I feel this drain is high If you can please advise

Also when playing games like NFS hot persuit and real racing 2 the drian is a minimum 300 and max 600 is this ok please advise thanks again
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jollmo:
6,6C is running great, everything fine so far, VPN is working under wifi only, but that might be related to ROM or even the capabilities of the cell my phone is using here abroad in the wild ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
6.6c battery drain is OK.

standby Wi-Fi data on

gps bt off

screen off Profile Smartassv2

screen on hyper

often 4mA with some peaks about 60mA.

because I think because k9 push app, Facebook, maps, WhatsApp, Viber app are online.

loosing 2-3% battery per hour on standby.

drain while using phone. browsing with Opera about 120-260mA.

so it seems very good.

what do you think dorimanx and others?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
seems good.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hypergamer1231:
Ok so that means that the 300-500 drain in 3d games is normal right dori still it wil give me 2 hours of gaming looks like time to buy the extended battery. Dori your rom supports the official HTC extended battery right ?

Thanks again

" Is there any news about hardware acceleration ?

Not much.. You will have to ask the kernel developers this question.. O wait.. they are gone

No seriously.. the last thing I have seen is Hardware acceleration on the cheap @ss ZTE blade using a 2.6.35 kernel and it's flying !

What has that to do with us ?

Well we have a 2.6.35 kernel and this ZTE blade is using the same GPU as we do so the only thing I can say is ... It's possible !

Now we only need a kernel developer merging this... Please ask the kernel devs ! "

dorimanx can you do something about this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pirlano:
Please donate for a new HD2 to dorimanx:

http://dorimanx.chipin.com/any-hd2-phone-to-help-me-in-developing

Than, maybe he can help us (he is NOT forced, development is an hobby, a passion, not a full time job, if you really want hwa, do it yourself).

If he cannot do anything i'll be happy in both case, since, first of all, it's a way to thank him :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmotard:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
why do so many people want such an ugly extended battery.

i have 3 normal batteries.

if the first is empty i change to 2nd or 3rd one.

;-) looks much nicer is cheaper and i always have one if one is empty

for me that makes more sense
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Xylograph:
I guess that HD2 is already on his way m8...

Anyway Dorimanx,

Just a question..

Could you have a look at this 2.6.35 kernel for the ZTE-Blade.. They have the same gpu as we have and they seem to have full HWA on ICS..

Do you think these gpu/video changes can be merged into your or a 2.6.35 we have here ?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
6.6c

Is good Kernel but not stable.

Had reboots while browsing.

Perhaps zram Problem ???

And noticed strange thing.

Tablet tweaks Buttons sometimes flashing or only white color. Go to settings Set them off and on again. All normal again and working.

No idea why. This is since 6.6b I think.

Hope Dori will get his HD2 soon. So he can see again . For blind development it is fantastic.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
News update!

New Kernel SG2 Updated to latest CM9 commits!

Kernel_Dorimanx-SGII-ICS-Date-22-04-12-Time-23-45.zip

This one fix the missing apps and missing CM default blue theme.

Best to be used with latest CM9 ROM from today!

*Ported strong interactive gov.

*Fixed and tuned settings, removed all kind of debugs, to reduce junk work, that user dont need.

*did all the needed code corrections to match CM9 ROM progress!

Have fun :)

Report if any problems.

I call this kernel HOLLY ****!!!! AWESOME :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Ok, thanks, device is on route! soon will be on my continent.. :)

then will stuck some time in some post, and get to me :)

Then i can really test things, and tweak.

I learned allot from new SG2 phone... so i can make some GREAT things with my rom and kernel for HD2!

Now i have new ideas and improvements!

So stay tune :)

and thanks for support!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Yank,

I charged my hd2 FULL and left it on charger for an additional 6 hrs with GPS module on/ready. So no apps using gps were active but if they did activate...GPS was available. No sign of the wakelock after unplugging and I am sitting here 1 hr later no problem. This is with kernel 6.6b.

Also to Hinne,

Bro, simply disable Zram for a day and see if you have any issues with 6.6c.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
Noticed a view other Bugs.

In old Rom and Kernel versions it was possible to play music with poweramp app and browsing through phone or www the same time.

If I do that now I sometimes get short music hanging and stocking sound. It seems that CPU cannot play music and do other things at the same time.

If I only play music and do not use phone. No such hanging sound Bugs.

Can anybody confirm this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lukedunk:
Hi Dorimanx! Thanks for sticking with us in the HD2 world, and we can't wait for you to get your new device. Any chance you could work on ICS hardware acceleration in the future?? I saw this mentioned in Xylograph's AOKP thread:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KyJelly69:
how redundant, did you really think you were the first to repost 2 day old news, especially about this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Well I followed Dorimanx's advice to freeze location helper, since I don't use WiFi location (which seems to bd the problem rather than GPS itself).

No GPS wakelock this morining !!

So that is the solution, but only if you don't use WiFi in locations !

JP.

PS: WiFi had never been checked for me, but seems to be a cause of the wakelock anyway...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi Dorimanx,

I've just had the strangest thing ...

Was reading this thread in xda app, when touchscreen stopped responding :( Hardware keys were still working fine, though...

When I switched the HD2 off (hangup key, to put it in standby), then tried to wake it again, I had SOD and had to pull the battery...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
I was getting that regularly with 6.4x, 6.5x and some other versions. Ever since I reverted back to NO Odex and No Zram, I have not had a single occurrence...weeks later.

Re GPS Wakelock...as it turns out...2 hrs after I posted that msg to you about GPS wakelock, I did get a 60ma Stuck Drain though I could not verify where it came from. I did every test under the sun, all my usual suspects, used all my tools and knowledge gathered over the last 2 years and the only thing that solved it was a REBOOT! Incidentally...the reason I even knew that I had the stuck drain was thanks to my good old....CURRENT WIDGET notification setting.

Can you remind me how you are able to know it's GPS wakelock? (Better Battery stats???) Can you provide the menu listing as well? thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Charmacas:
Is there any alternative to ZRAM?

I mean... it seems to cause the most problems and without ZRAM most people respond a stable kernel without SOD's and whatsoever.

500mb Swap Partition

(Use MiniToolPartition app to create or resize "Primary" swap partition)

Also, in /etc/initd/ create a script named 11Swappiness and paste this into it...echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Charmacas:
But this will have the negative effect of an extremely usage of the sd card, won't it?

Gesendet von meinem HTC HD2 mit Tapatalk 2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Charmacas

Using your HD2, pressing the buttons, playing games and having the thing HOT, keeping the screen on for hours...it's all part of the wear and tear right? ;). It's been a topic of debate re wear on SDcard if that's what you mean? We don't have many choices with this old beast. EXT partition for APPS and Cache.... and Swap for Memory. Sdcards are rated tougher than our system Nand that we have been flashing like crazy....and creating Bad Blocks. If the Sdcards ever fails after an insane amount of read/writes....and if the HD2 still works...what's a new card cost $$...CHEAP. BOTTOM LINE, 500mb swap performs better than Zram. User Experience = :)

Dorimanx,

You know I am a testing nut right? Some hands on info for you.

All my tests indicate 500sdSwap partition runs far smoother than Zram+250swap or 250sdSwap+250extSwap ESPECIALLY when loading ram to it's limit with large and many apps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

Yes, BetterBatteryStats, under partial wakelocks.

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Charmacas:
You are right but I just wanted to put that point out for discussion because that is a negative aspect which we can't ignore. But if it improves performance significantly I would like to try it. ;-)

Jumping with excitement

I am a noob :( please please please tell me in detail how can i get the 500mb swap working

I am using

light 3.1.6.2 no zram no swap

2gb ext3

6.6c kernel

32gb micro sdhc class 4

PLease please thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Noob Method (you may need High End Rom for Swap)

- perform a FULL rom Backup via CWM

- backup your entire sdCard Fat contents to PC

- reformat your sdCard into 3 PRIMARY partitions via MiniToolPartition app (Fat/2gExt/500mbLinuxSwap)

- copy previously saved Fat contents back to sdCard (Fat partition of course)

- Go into CWM and Restore your FULL backup

- All should be as normal except your swap will be automatically activated.

- in Terminal Emulator or Gscript...type FREE and enter to see swap.

Advantages

- more memory = multitasking or resuming quicker

- stable...no freezes or Hot reboots (unless your overall total memory runs too low)

- 500mb vs 250mb (cwm only allows formatting up to 250mb swap)

(Remember...swap or Zram is not as fast as just REAL ram on it's own but both provide MORE virtual Ram)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hypergamer1231:
Thanks a ton questions in bold

Thanks a ton mate
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Your Welcomed.

Your sdCard is a Class 4 right? It may suffer a bit with speed depending on the quality of it. Some are rated class 4 but act like 6 or higher. I have a class 10 and I think HD2's can utilize at least class 6. (Dx has made mods to his roms that may make it faster)

- Ext4 is fine though I don't know if MinToolPartition can do EXT4.

- Disable Zram via settings/CM Settings/Performance/Compcache 0 (as in Zero)

- You could try upgrading to the high end rom immediately after your CWM backup. - - - Get that working, disable Zram and do another CWM backup.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
only up to class 6

yes it can

:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Ok i have read all the comments 3 pages :)

I am happy that freezing the locations apk in system/app help to kill the GPS wakeup!

i will try to use the one from ICS google app package! when i get new device.

or any one that what to make the experiment can do that.

I will tune HD2 kernel some more, i see that new common commits are added to all kind of kernel that i watching.

i will try to pull them to HD2.

about HW for ICS. i checked the ZTE device kernel and i see the video driver changes..

i will try to port them to HD2.

i need to work on it non stop with device in hand.

so it's will be possible soon as i get it!

i will install TYTUNG ROM, and do the testing!

i think that we need to JUMP to CM9 as it's great (after using it on my SG2 for 2 weeks! i like it)

and with HW! it's can be done!, and i will do it!

i will build CM9 rom for HD2! but only if i can port the drivers!

if not, it's pointless, why someone want slow graphic device when it can do better with CM7?

so stay tune :)

Yeah nice to hear that dori,

If you can make hwa working and make a fast cm9 Rom for HD2 a dream comes true.

If cm7 is faster we should stay here with HD2.
