May be a bit late but what is the sd/sd-ext read-adhead? I know stock is 128K. If yours is 128K, bumping it to 4096K would show a marked improvement.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Once I get to 1.4 and clean up the uv code I plan on making lots of changes. But I wanted stable oc/uv kernels close to stock so people have stuff to revert to. I'll probably enable startup scripts for most changes so you rom builders can tweak your hearts out. I have lots of patches planned. The read ahead can be changed via market apps or scripts(script manager) for now. Once I'm at 1.4 I'm going to rebuild my git and start patching. Patching will most likely break stuff at first so this is more or less a get it to the people kernel. Once im happy with the kernel ill turn my attention to aosp/cm
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Have you got a 1.3 release out then? :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Check your ymail

I'm currently testing 1.3 oc. It should be more stable then 1.2 and better balanced. I'll release soon and work on 1.4 again(it don't like it right now). If I have no luck ill move on to gpu oc/ram/avp/tweaks and make 1.4 a side project.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay Man. I will be checking it shortly and flashing.

Edit....

Okay, I just flashed the zImage right now. Once it boots, I'll play with it some more.

All righty. I've got it booted, set it to 1.3 GHZ. I'll keep playing with it and let you know what happens, but it booted up good.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

Okay. So thus far I've run six or seven smartbench tests. The two lower ones were in the 3300 range and the higher ones were 4000+, highest just came in 4116. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] htcSlide:
I just locked my bootloader back so I could have 4G again.. You just gave me a good reason to go back unlocked! Great work Joker! I look forward to 1.5! For that, I'll buy u a Coke!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah this 1.3 I'm running at the moment is ridiculous. It's stable too. I've done the stress tests on it and haven't had any issues, no reboot issues, and WIFI still works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Update on 1.3, its got a bug, nasty one too. The phone falls in love with 750mhz with both cores going. Great for speed freaks but not so good for battery lovers. Ill redo the tables hopefully get it to fall back to 216, i might try to underclock to 192 or 100ish. Im thinking a dual release, 1.2 battery lover edition and 1.3/1. 4 speed freak edition. 1.5 is a long way off im not just going to pump up the juice(overvolt) and give our phones heart attacks. Luckily the failsafe works, i put my phone next to a heater while stress testing and it rebooted and ran the safety clocks(750lol).

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'll have to pull up my system monitor, cause I don't recall having any issues like that. I'll keep my eyes open though.

Edit....

So I got mine to drop back down to 216 mhz, this was after opening up about fifteen apps to get both cores running and I was at about 700 mhz on two and 1300 mhz on one. After killing the apps it dropped back down to 216 mhz....not sure if this is relevant to the bug....but it works for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
If the cpu overheats and soft reboots it sets the max to 750 till it cools down but after it unlocks to go higher it won't go lower than 750 on its own till you reboot. I believe this is because my tables don't match. The new table is fast though. I'll fix it soon. 99% of people won't overheat there phone, i used a heater. But I might as well fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
Just buy a beer for you. 1.2 overclock is very stable. Keep good work friend.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Not sure if this is because of the kernel or not but after installing...my proximity sensor is not kicking in and locking the screen while in call and the phone is up to my ear...can this be fixed? Kind of gets annoying pushing buttons on every call and hanging up on every other...preciate all ur hard work Bubba

[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
May be your flashing process something went wrong. I don't have that problem. Try to wipe cache fri.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I gotcha Man. Just send me the new zImage file once you get done with it and I will flash it and test the new tables.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
This is caused by the "in pocket detection" option. To fix this you need to turn off pocket detection and reboot. Also it has been caused by the kick stand option also so having that off also will help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Battery life was okay while I was sleeping but when I woke up and started playing with it it seemed like it was draining a little more rapidly, so I charged it back up, gonna calibrate it, then play with it today and see if it drains rapidly again. I'll post back and let you know what's up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Anybody using this with homebase? Does it have ext4 support with wifi?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'm running it with the 2.1 Home Base, runs pretty smooth with the 1.2 and smooth with the 1.3 as well. Battery life seemed better on 1.2 though. But I'm gonna test that theory soon once I take my phone off the charger.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
im currently rebuilding 1.3 after release ill look into adding ext4 support with wifi, its like 3 clicks
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Cool. Ill be looking out for it
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I think I solved the battery drain issue b.t.w. by calibrating it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
What setup r u running?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Home base 2.1 with 4.2 update and the 1.3 oc kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
actually the kernel already has support for it, i can shoot you a copy of the init.rc which allow for ext4 mounts which should be the only thing your missing
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
go ahead but if you make menuconfig you can enable it as well
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
How's that setup working for u?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
btw the battery to low to flash is the devil, just in case anyone wanted to know
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Set up us actually working really well. Battery life is back to being good too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
okay update, it turns out that the overheat bug is a nvidia thing. it was fixed in a later dump. so i will be releasing the 1.3oc kernel soon. im also in talks with faux about porting his kernel from the atrix/lg999. at the moment i got it to build but not boot. :mad: I also found what was preventing me from going to 1.4 but i broke my code and cant get anything to boot so im back to square one. i believe i know the issue but its time for work so 1.3oc for now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The 1.3 OC works great. Is it different than the one I'm currently running?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Nope
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
my apologies i should have clarified, to have an ext4 kernel working you need to set teh mounts in the init.rc which is the ramdisk part of it. (which i emailed you the details about) which will allow it to mount ext4 partitions.

then you need to make sure that the kernel even knows what ext4 is by adding it into the config like you said.

Lol Evo 3D cant even break 2500 on quadrant overclocked to 1.8Ghz, where at over 4k at 1.3ghz. Love this phone <3
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Thats because it isn't a real OC. Trust me I know :). I did the same **** with my old epic along with a few ithers. Its all cosmetics. Hell I can make the photon say over 9000!!! Lol...

Thanks, might make an updater script with random garbage or put a small book in there as a joke. Maybe I'll do it for a special edition kernel.

Actually on second thought let's make it a contest. Who ever comes up with the funniest updater script(text only) will be put into the next update, and becomes a tester. The I also need a startup animation if anyone feels like it

[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
Crazy question, okay not really crazy -- just not sure about the possibilities. Can you unlock the bootloader, install the updated kernel and then relock the bootloader?

I use 4G constantly during the day so I'd like to keep it if I can. Now pardon me while I go off and curse Moto for not giving us an unlocked bootloader of theres that will almost certainly not break 4G.

I just installed kernel and all seems fine. My phone has been amazing with its current setup. My battery thus far has lasted well over a day with fairly heavy usage. Hopefully the new OC won't drag down my battery too much. I'll post updates tonight/etc.

..amazing!...

I've been OCing the Sensation and the EVO 3D in the past weeks, up to 1836 MHz.. no way to get that scores on the SnapDragon platform.. and I've been an Atrix owner too.

it's not just a matter of benchmark numbers, I can confirm this is impacting overall phone experience.

Brush into the kernel, I can not boot, stops at the first screen.1.3OCedition.help me
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, first off, how did you flash the kernel? Secondly, are you unlocked and rooted? we can help you better if you give us atleast that info.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Easy fix go ahead and unlock, then when you see the unlock on the first screen pull the battery and flash cwm. Boot into recovery and flash the kernel, if all else fails sbf to stock, root, unlock, flash cwm and finally flash the kernel

Edit ill update op, the duh is pointed at me not you. I forgot to tell people unlocked only
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
This might be worth re-unlocking my phone tonight. I'm gonna try the 4g work around this time. will the kernel still work with that method?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Nope, it's 4g or speed, gotta pick. Personally I chose speed because websites render faster at 1.3. Plus yay is working on a 4g unlock so you won't suffer long. Fluidity is better than stuttering

[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Could you try it since you know how to fix it if it doesn't work
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah. When I get home Man. I will test it. Just gotta figure out how ti relock
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
I wana try your kernel but 4G is full bars at my pad :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Flash the little relocker file not the big one
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The derpunlock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bwilde83:
Thanks for all your hard work getting our photons to warp speed :) just a quick note...the 1.2 kernel works flawlessly for me but the 1.3 has made my phone reboot multiple times even after reflashing it. I have flashed back to 1.2 and all is well. I am running homebase ext3 btw. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So if any of you saw the previous post I had up five minutes ago, completely disregard that. I just locked the boot loader again so I'll let you know what happens once it boots up again.

Okay. So I screwed up and got the fail to boot screen I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I'll post back once I fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Let me know if it works man, I've been itching to try this kernel but I don't wanna lose 4g.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No problem Man. I'm testing it for you specifically. Lol. Just let me unscrew my phone, which I'm almost done with, had to flash an SBF file to get it back, I'm gonna unlock, flash the kernel, then relock and figure out if it works, and if it does, later on tonight once my phone is charged, I will go ahead and reload the homebase ROM and all that back to my original setup, and test that out as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.Relock flashes you back to the stock kernel. You also have to go back to a stock recovery or you soft brick the phone. The only "custom" you can have and relock is ROM's (system, data) and maybe webtop (haven't had a chance to test but should be possible).
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
It does indeed reflash the stock kernel? Have you tested this?

Edit...

Okay, so here's where I'm at. I've tried to relock twice and once I try to relock it screws up and gives me a failed to boot 2 error. So I'm gonna say this doesn't work, unless there is another way to relock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
/boot is where the kernel resides and it's /boot and /recovery that need to be stock to relock. Take a look here for a guide on android partitions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Have you tried just ocing to 1.2 on the 1.3 kernel? Also did you undervolt at all
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I wonder if we could trick it and put a different kernel in the relocker
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
As of right now. I can't get the relocker to work. I ran the derpunlock and it didn't do anything and I've tried the no pudding for u file twice and gotten a failed to boot. So I'm all eyes if someone has an idea. I'll test whatever we need to make it work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Yay tried something like that some time back with no luck. I'm guessing some sort of checksum or tagged file is involved. He did say that he may have a 4G fix so hit him up, maybe it could be cooked into your next release.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Loki. What lock file is the one to use?

Edit....

So yeah, I can't successfully relock the bootloader I thought I had the proper file.....so I can't actually test this theory. If someone has the file that isn't the no pudding for u sbf would you mind sharing it please?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
ok, so I ran this all day long. Had plenty of battery tonight 80%+. My usage wasnt as heavy as usual, but still quite a bit. Everything was stable and fast. I was already running SetCPU with the 1.1 kernel, so I left my profiles the same and just boosted the max cpu up to 1.3.

I am very happy. I will post more if I notice anything worth mentioning.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Are you undervolting at all or just running it as is?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I feel bad about thread trashing. jokersax11 feel free to tell me to take this elsewhere.

@xTMFxOffshore

Wipe phone from settings, flash 198_7, root with shabby's one click, unlock with derpunlock then flash cwm. Perform the mods you want, flash stock_recovery.smg then flash nopudding4u. One thing I've noticed is the "every phone is different" rule is very much in force on the mopho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So you HAVE to flash the stock recovery? Hm.......Cause I've done all that, but when I SBF no pudding for u it borks and gives me the failed to boot 2 error.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
If it doesn't work at least people will see that someone tried btw new kernel(kinda) uploading now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah, man. I tried twice, and I even tried via Loki's method, maybe it's just my phone but it didn't work any of the times. It just gave me that error. And are you uploading to here? Is it the 1.4 or the 1.3?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Posted, it's still 1.3 just I divided by zero. I need to fix my script it was way too fast to read
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, let me download it and flash it. I still prefer the fastboot flash method. I have had zero issues doing things that way. Haha. Wanna send me the zImage of the updated kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Flash the zip, and read as fast as you can
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Did, got something about rogain and then get it off. Lol. That was about it Man. I got a different boot image though. Mine was the Android guy pissing on the apple logo.

Edit...

I just noticed something else too. I use to get FC's on the SetCPU voltage tab, now I can adjust and set them without the crash. Sweet. You fix that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
The overly white sprint logo was upsetting me so I changed it. I'm at work so I had to change it on my phone, but when I get time at home ill slow down the script and make different editions(with more than a boot animation change).
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yeah I fixed it but setcpu doesn't display it right so still use myrt
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No worries Man. I'm gonna change it back to the one I had prior. The kernel still seems to be working good though. I'm happy with it. And yeah, slow the script down just slightly. ;]
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
If you want to read it unzip and open the updater script
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, I'll check it out. So was there really any tweaks on this new version of the kernel from the old one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Only a boot animation change, and script change. Alot of people like the supercharger stuff I might make a few tweak packs to flash over or make a supercharger edition. I do plan on some boot script packs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I played with it at first, but I haven't run it since I updated my phone and such. And right on man. All your work is legit. It's much appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I know it's possible and its a ways off but you can delete apks from cwm, useful if you want to debloat someone's phone for them. Actually almost all the tweaks most rom builders do can be applied over a rooted unlocked stock build. So instead of making whole roms we can tweak the stock one, that way people can sbf to the newest and apply tweak packs. Full roms can be made too I just think both ways should be done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
If you can get that working that'd be pretty awesome. I've downloaded the program to pull apart the sbf relock file, I'm gonna mess with it and see if I can't figure out how to pack your kernel into it. Not totally sure what I'm doing though, so we'll see.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Email it to me
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The file after I butcher it or the nopuddingforu lock file that screws my phone up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] agrenwa:
I get the same failed to boot 2 error after flashing the stock recovery in fastboot mode and then flashing the nopudding4u sbf file with rsd, the only way for me to get it back to relock is by flashing the whole 198-7 sbf which takes me about 30 minutes.
