well... I guess I added cause it´s better be safe than sorry :D - most people do reboot, some people don't... I´ve bricked my cappy once because all my partitions were mounted... I guess something went wrong in the reboot process... I don´t really know for sure... but as I said... better be safe than sorry :D

Don´t know if you saw... but I´ve edited my last post... about red neb v1 aggressive... my phone started lagging on some apps and memory dropped to 50-55m - I´m gonna mess with the swapiness and page cluster tweaks a little bit!

I'll download both v1.2 aggressive ones & see what happens tomorrow. @ddoubt keep me/us posted on how the aggressive works for you

PS: Out of thanks for the day already...I'll hit you both up tomorrow!

Hi Guys,

First of all I want to thank all the devs working on KJ3/KH3 roms and kernels, I was itching for a while to try something new on my captivate and found myself constantly coming back to where I'd been for months.

I'm happy to say that yesterday during some downtime at work I flashed Serenity and your Red Nebula Kernel and my device feels like new again!

The only question I have is, I've been having a ton of trouble trying to get a custom boot animation working. I know you've said there are issues, mostly with KH3, but I am on your KJ3 kernel and I've been poking around in /system/media and taking a look at bootanimation.sh in root.

I am a systems administrator by trade and understand pretty well what I'm looking at, but I'm drawing a blank as to why this won't work. I have tried placing bootanimation.zip with the correct files in /system/media, i've tried renaming it sanim.zip, i've made a sym-link from sanim.zip -> bootanimation.zip, I've tried various permission settings and all I'm getting is a black screen.

Any help / insight would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
I get what you mean I put another revision up tonight with that in there.

Yeah those are the two you are going to want to play around with, this is actually why I put the extra options in the script, the defaults will help performance a lot but something really memory hungry is going to cause some lag especially if you are on kj3 roms which already consume quite a bit of memory.

I could tweak lmk more but it would start killing off background apps and that can be a pretty big problem for some people and really then it's only putting a bandage on a larger problem that can be fixed by swapping more out of ram.

[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Wow that's strange kj3 had been working fine and its looking for sanim.zip so that shouldn't be a problem.especially since the install symlinks it for you. I'll look back into it and see what I can come up with tonight.

[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
delete bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip or both :)

make the symlink "/system/media/bootanimation.zip", "/system/media/sanim.zip"

copy bootanimation.zip over media again

reboot... you SHOULD be fine...

edit: I´ve had this issue before and I followed those steps above and everything went back to normal...
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Thats actually what I changed the symlink to since your suggestion before ddoubt, but yeah if they delete the old one and copy over the one they want to use it will work I also make another copy of the animation I want to use and name it sanim.zip instead of a symlink just to be double sure its going to work and its been foolproof everytime.

These boot anims are really going to be my demise guys, I swear they literally have it out for me.
[Captivate Android Development] n4n4k1:
Just tried these steps... still not working :(. Could it possibly be a bad bootanimation.zip?

I'm trying to get the NyanCat animation posted in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031590

And, just to be certain, using root explorer I deleted both bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip (symlink), copied over a fresh version of the bootanimation.zip pulled from the CWM-flashable zip provided in the thread into /system/media, then created a symlink as sanim.zip, and rebooted.

Still the same issue
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
O'

I just retried a few anims I have following the previous instructions we posted and they all worked so my guess is its a bad animation. I use rom toolbox to get most of the animations I use so you may want to try some of them.

Also at ddoubt I literally opened like 13 apps up maybe more, including opera, miui music and a few other ram heavy apps and could not get ram below 80mb free. I also use go launcher and freeze some of the system apps that would otherwise start in background mail, twlauncher, and a few others. Not really sure why your's is dropping so low.

hmm... I change swappiness to 70 and page cluster to 3 and RAM still dropping... it stayed at 80 for some time... than it started to drop and stopped at 65m (with lots of apps opened)... this is without using a task killer app... then for the purpose of testing, I killed all possible tasks and the RAM stopped +/- stable at 108m... its been an hour and my phone is idle...

I'll try change the values again... could my build.prop tweaks interfere with yours?

Flashing problem

Hello,

I am running [2.3.5] MaxQ KJ3 ROM. I tried flashing RN KJ3 1.2 over it in CW. I get Error in /sdcard/Red_Nebula_KJ3_v1.2.zip (status 6). I have lagfix turned off. This rom is running samurai kernel. Help please.

Thank you.

Same error for me too
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
error 6 is sintax error on the updater script, I'm sure Jsmokey is fixing as we speak! Being a multitasking person isn't easy right? job + kernel deving mixed up with script programming :D
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Don't forget I am also working on cwm, a rom, modifying sztupy's universal lag fix, plus 3 jobs, constant switching between programming languages for work and hobbies, plus I got to find a little time for life in there.

Yeah I am working on it though even though I'm at work. The problem is I did a little reformatting of how it displays all the text when installing and I forgot 1 damn " literally 1. I'll be home in just about two hours I'll put the fixes up then.

I would like to personally thank you and all the dev's for your all of your hard work and sacrifice from your personal time or your families.
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Thank you very much, its much appreciated.

I hope this little issue isn't putting anyone off from trying the kernel, and I'd like to apologize to those who downloaded the kernel only to have installation problems.

I still can't believe I forgot the quotation mark though. I usually forget the semi-colon if anything but almost never a quotation mark. I mean come on that's scripting/programming 101 for strings, and I've got just over 8yrs in real serious programming experience and almost 13 scripting in unix environments. Talk about a face palm. Guess experience doesn't really mean jack though when you get in too much of a hurry.

[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hey Jsmokey, I got this feedback on Serenity's thread:

is this because I messed with swapiness and page cluster? (he is running v1.1)
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
I wasn't so much beating myself up as in shock because I'm slightly ocd especially when it comes to writing out code. Other than the header anyways I like playing around with different layouts for coding headers just to mix it up a little but as far as the main body of a script or program I usually go through it at least a few times but I was in such a hurry to get it posted before work I didn't have time to go back through it. Should have the fixed links up in about 30-40 minutes btw, had to take care of a few things on the way home.

@ the post about boot animation issues. Are you absolutely sure you are trying to get them working on my kj3 kernel cause it should play the old school "android" logo if it can't find the .zip animation you want to use. If you are trying with kh3 it will not play at all it doesn't matter what I do to the scripts/init.rc service calls, how I link things, where I put files I can not get them to play.

Sent from my I897 w/Antares Darkcloud, Red Nebula kernel, & 1.3Ghz OC using Tegrak.
[Captivate Android Development] n4n4k1:
Yes, I'm definitely on your kernel, and this is true because if i remove both the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip files, it plays the oldschool android logo. I believe it's trying to load the animation but for one reason or another it's a bad animation package.

I could do some googling and see if I can remake the animation as all the PNG files are here and a desc.txt.... I'm just unsure of the syntax
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
No shouldn't have anything to do with those settings swappiness basically is the ratio that the kernel scheduler dumps things into ram or swap higher means use more swap lower more ram basically anything over 80, us pretty bad for performance. Page cluster is pretty much just sizes for memory pages, in other words think of page cluster the same as clusters on a hard drive too large and you're wasting space on files that can't fill them all the way too small and you need more clusters to hold the same amount of data.

Are you using samurai in serenity specifically with standard lmk settings kyuta uses? Cause he was having issues with this because his settings would drop background apps or services too often, could also be the content provider service in the lmk service.

I'd suggest something like autokiller memory optimizer app from the market that lets you change lmk values on the fly to something more balanced or multi taskable to see if it helps.

[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Ok if that's the case you could get rom toolbox from the market or just find a working one from xda somewhere and open them both up and try swapping pngs they need to both have the same amount of images though if I remember correctly. There's actually some really good guides on how to make boot animations though and I actually saw a program for, I think, windows that does most of the work for you and even gives you a preview of it running

If you need any links to guides just let me know, I'd be happy to dig them up for you.

[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hmm... the user who left the feedback is using serenity rc4.2 with red nebula v1.1... but i changed swapiness and page clusters... which one should be more balance with ram and multitasking, v1 aggressive or v1.2?
[Captivate Android Development] n4n4k1:
I actually just tried this, and I found a few guides online, still no luck :|.

At least I have a project
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
V1.2, but I don't have the fixed links up yet, neither should ever really touch background apps unless ram is getting really tight so I'm not sure what's happening there.

Like I mentioned earlier I opened over 13 apps over half being fairly big ram hogs and it never touched any of them while in the background and never really ate much memory.

I even left them open played music with miui music player for about 15 minutes and checked them all again without anything like that happening. Even did a few tests with things in background while doing a cf bench then antutu bench and it still never got bogged down enough to kill anything. That's with the aggressive version btw.

@n4nk1; when using rom toolbox bootanims I still copy them manually basically go to the rom toolbox folder copy the boot anim you downloaded you want to try go to system/media and do the previous steps me and ddoubt gave if you are doing that and it still wont play then I'm not sure where the problem is thats causing the issue unless for some reason the rom is missing the bootanimation binary all together from /system/bin.

Working links are officially up!

Working links are now all up guys and gals enjoy the sweet taste of pure galaxy fresh out of the oven....:eek:

If you want I can whip up a kernel just for you with bootanimations packed in and set up and see if those will even play just so you know if there's something else blocking them from playing for some reason. Any preference to any of the animations from rom toolbox you'd like to try out? You can always just open the .zip up in 7zip or archive manager and swap for whatever ones you want so if you don't care I could just make it a suprise. :D

[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
You're very welcome and I hope you enjoy. Remember aggressive will kill slightly more often along with a few other minor changes without going crazy killing background processes while the normal v1.2 is slightly more responsive at the cost of needing to manually drop caches (not clear) or reboot roughly every other day to keep things smooth.

Also wanted to let everyone know that I'm working on a zipalign script to put in the kernel that will zipalign on boot but only apps that haven't been done in previous sessions.

Hopefully be done around monday with it and might have the prop modifier version I talked about previously for mostly stock roms ready by then too, its been one heck of a pain to get working right so no promises on it.

[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
downloaded and working great......I ran a benchmmark to see if theres a difference....theres a big one my quadrant score doubled now its over 1300 without over clocking nor lagfix enabled
[Captivate Android Development] Jsmokey:
Glad to hear it, was that a first run score btw? Its always better after 2 or 3 runs. I do recommend overclocking but in the recent versions I've found myself forgetting to do it on reboot because unless I'm running really cpu hungry apps the difference is almost unnoticeable a lot of times.

Lagfix won't come to red nebula till I can finish modifying and fixing clock work mod recovery which will include a modified version of sztupy's universal lagfix.

Mainly because:

a) voodoo lagfix takes up a ton of space and requires a lot of work trimming things down to get packaged in the kernel.

b) samsung finally fixed some of the issues they had with rfs it seems, which is actually a great filesystem for phones because its so efficient at accessing small files which is what is mostly found on a phones storage. It might not be fully on par with ext4 performance but its not far off especially when the scheduler for the filesystem is tweaked.

c) even though voodoo lagfix is a great piece of work it is an extremely complicated one making it very difficult to add or change features without breaking things and isn't all that flexible with options on formatting. Sztupy's on the other hand has quite a bit of built in functionality and is much easier to customize, takes up less room, and is a little easier to package in my opinion.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marginean.m:
Hi all. I really don't know what causes my problem, so I'll just describe it:

Epilogue:

My Legend came with some Vodafone ROM so as soon as I got it I flashed 2-3 ROMs found on XDA (all in the same day, all were 2.2) before I settled for BlaY0's. Everything was working properly. After 3-4 months I decided to try a new ROM so I flashed a 2.3.3 with HTC Sense (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987251) - didn't like it much; then I tried a Cyanogen, also 2.3 - didn't like it either. So I flashed back the BlaY0 2.2. (also, in one day)

This is when my problem started.

Usually my battery would last for a day and a half. But every evening I connect it to the charger (at about 50%). In the morning the little light turned from orange to green and the battery indicator showed 100%. This was before! Now, I connect the charger in the evening but in the morning the light is still orange and the battery indicator shows something between 70% and 85% (I don't know if this is important, but most of the times is 85%). Usually it took 2-3 to fully charge the battery.

After a while, I noticed that if I reboot the phone in the morning, after the reboot the indicator shows 95-98%.

First thing I did was to wipe the battery stats (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765656) but either I did it wrong or that was not the problem because it did'n solve anything.

Then I noticed something else. When I go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>BATTERY I can see the UP TIME and the AWAKE TIME. I'm guessing that the up time is the total time since last reboot but the awake time I'm not sure; is it the time the display was on or it is more about CPU activity? Anyways, it seems that after I connect the charger, it thinks that it is awake because in the morning I can read about 8-9 h of awake time (during the day it reaches at about 1-2 h). So it appears that something consumes the power at a higher rate messing with the charging process. If so, why does the battery indicator heals after reboot?

Thinking that an app was causing the problem I eliminated some of them: Advanced Task Killer, Llama, Watchdog. The problem persisted...

Now I'm out of ideas...so if someone has some I'd be grateful. It's not that I need to reboot in the morning, it's the not knowing that's killing me! :o

There was a huge thread on this in General.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151450&highlight=charge

Unfortunate, until an alternate solution is found, it seems that replacing a piece of the hardware is the only way. Which sucks. I'm sorry.

When flashing a new ROM or switching between primary and secondary batteries in my wallet, I always make sure I calibrate it so the system doesn't misinterpret predefined untrue values regarding the highs and lows of the battery.

Actually, with my second battery, it takes an hour to charge from 2-60, then another one for 61-76, then the whole night til 100. It's quite horrible. The stock HTC battery excels at charging, but I digress.

It seems like a counter-solution to me, but maybe a temporary fix for you: Have you tried investing in a really cheap, secondary battery, perhaps on eBay? I bought two for around 2 dollars each, on separate occasions. My first I'm still using now, in my wallet, switches each month. My other one I bought recently, and the first time it dipped to 30%, it completely shut off. Needless to say, I threw it away, it was horrible.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marginean.m:
@Asovse1

I read the thread...to be honest I never thought it would be a hardware issue. :( Anyways, replacing the motherboard isn't really a fix.

I guess your solution (having spare batteries) is the only one feasible. This kinda sucks!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgmichna:
Solution (see last sentence)

I have two HTC Legend phones here that both have this same problem.

I have read elsewhere that some people got the HTC Legend fully charged by charging it normally, like overnight, then powering it down and charging once more until the light turns green. Some repeated this procedure twice, i.e. pulled the charging cable, then plugged it in again.

I just tried charging with the phone powered down and got it to 100%.

But I'm still not sure whether this is just snake oil, because the indicated figure may not actually show the true charge.

Addendum: As I now know, it is snake oil. As far as I can tell, the phone charges normally. Only the indicator underreads. It does not reach 100%, it goes down rapidly, the phone keeps operating for hours with the indicator showing 3% or less.

And here is the solution.
