@PeterHTC:

from adb shell you can type "uname -a" and you'll get the following result for my 0.3-pre kernel:

Linux localhost 2.6.35.11-dag+ #44 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 15 02:53:01 PST 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux

The timestamp is the key there, i'll look into setting up my build scripts to automagically increment the build each time to track releases better (i'll forget for sure if I do it manually) - you can get this same information from the app "CPU Spy" available in the market.

Re: Quadrant scores:

Quadrant reproducibly gets a lower score with each consecutive run during a session. To get the best score, set performance governor @ the highest speed you're stable at, reboot, and run it just after the boot finishes.

Quadrant is really quite the poor test for our hardware, scores are not reproducible at all with variations of up to 1000 points on the same config, lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] romracer:
Building a new kernel should auto-increment the build ID (the #44 in your example). The only way it doesn't is if you do a make mrproper or clean at some point. I think its more common to set the EXTRAVERSION in Makefile though ;)

What are some recommended settings using "System Tuner" for this kernel?

Something that combines battery life + a little extra performance over stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] highlanderx:
Question about system tuner.

As soon as I change ANYTHING at all.. CPU1 will NOT shut off.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

.3 not working that well for me...

Did you change the voltages @1.78? I am stable on .2 but not on .3.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
Sounds now working!

Thanks!

I agree completely. Of all the benchmarks, Quadrant is the one I consider the least useful. I've had variations far beyond 1000 points.

Re the sound problem. Solved! I went right back to my original configuration with the original kernel, then flashed 0.2 or 0.3, and my internal sound files are now working properly.

I had to restore back to stock. I kept getting the black no wake screen of death. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] k4zyn:
When you got this, were the touch buttons working? aka, haptic? Also did the power button work?

I was having the same issue but I thought it might have been KennPenn's alien ROM, there are a few people in that thread who are having what seems to be this issue, or something similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
this issue ( i had as well ) was/is most likey do to what the Min setting is for your cpu. while running at 192 i think. i HAD the black screen.....i changed it 4 hundred somthing and i NEVER saw this again.

its a kernel thing not the the ROM. but its also not serious if you just adjust the scaling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
The pre .3 ROM allows for a 54mhz minimum with no black screen. Hello battery life!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chgoblknazn:
The touch buttons would not work and the power button would not turn the screen on. I could hear the options window open when I held the power button, but the screen was black. I kept having to remove the battery. After a dozen times of this happening, I restored. I tried adjusting the minimum scale setting and I thought it helped, but it did not. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
that sounds like a flashing/ maybe a tibu issue.........i had that as well at one point. i just went back in restored my nandroid, then reflashed the kernel and wiped delvik.

and it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chgoblknazn:
That's what I did. Still no luck. :-(

I'll try again when the next version pops up. I loved the speed when I could see the results on the screen. ;)

Rogers LTE (SGH-i727R) Wireless HotSpot issue with pre-0.3 rom

Hi all,

I have flashed the pre-0.3 rom. Everything seemed fined until I tried to use the Wireless Hotspot. It would not start.

I have tried a few times with the same result. I restored the phone to its original ROM, and now it works.

If the issue is confirmed by someone else, I am willing to help troubleshoot.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cliff p:
Stocketeer with this kernel (pre .3) and with the ability to clock the cores down to 54MHz is making battery life AWESOME. Yesterday, I was able to run the phone on battery ALL day, with moderate usage, and still had around 50% by 8PM. That's with unplugging the device from power at 5AM.

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

It's working fine for me. Using stocketeer and .3 kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zindine:
I gave it another try. Once again I lost the ability to start the Wireless hotspot. Could it be related to the fact that I have the Rogers version and not the AT&T?

Anyone can recommend some troubleshooting steps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cliff p:
If you go to the Stocketeer ROM without this kernel mod, does the wireless hotspot work?

I don't know a ton about this type of stuff as I'm in self teaching mode with my *nix box at home. Could it be that this kernel was based on the AT&T variant and not the Rogers variant? Maybe a rogers kernel is needed?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
ROM or Kernel?

I think the important thing here is to confirm whether you are using a stock ROM with pre-0.3 kernel, or the SkyStocketeer ROM with the pre-0.3 Kernel?

I'm asking because the SkyStocketeer ROM did not work well for me. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I have the Rogers version and not the ATT version.

If you're using the stock ROM with pre-0.3 kernel, that's another story. I'm back to using the stock ROM with 0.2 kernel and everything is working quite well. I tried the pre-0.3 kernel, but had a few issues. I haven't tried the wireless hotspot, so I can't address that issue. Perhaps I'll give it a shot right now and report back.

Peter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zindine:
I was using stock ROM.

I also have installed SkyStocketeer and the WIFI hotspot works fine.

I then applied pre-0.3 and now the WIFI hotspot does not work anymore.

I am going back to stock until I know what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
where did you get the stock kernel from? or did u just flash the stock tar in odin?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zindine:
Peter,

Have you been able to test?

Would you have any ideas on how to fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
Added rogers stock CWM zip to first post

(also here: http://www.mediafire.com/?olygpswpqpvkpkb)

This will restore kernel, init.qcom.post_boot.sh, and lights.msm8660.so to stock rogers.

I completed porting rogers source into the kernel, there are pretty much zero differences to kernel code, the difference is in the way the ramdisk is assembled into boot.img, maybe the contents of initramfs too, haven't analyzed.

0.3 is almost ready, undergoing testing, I'll post a separate rogers kernel to address the boot.img difference. Probably post one more -pre test, also 1.83ghz overclock is not working in this one, seems to be an over-current limit protection due to GPU overclock.

Also, GPU is overclocked 30mhz across the board (there are 3 steps, 200mhz, 228mhz, 266mhz for 3d, and 1 step 200mhz for 2d) - overclocked to 230/258/296 3d 210 2d)

Careful with undervolting - a filesystem corruption has been found in testing rare cases that requires using odin to flash the stock recovery.img and wiping data/cache in there. (CWM does not fix this issue)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zindine:
This solved my WIFI Hotspot issue! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phonecurious:
I went back to Stock rogers and my wifi hotspot is back, will monitor battery now, since i have flash that kernel battery was draining very fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
@phonecurious: "That kernel" being which version? All known power drain issues have been fixed in 0.3-pre2. Not sure why it wouldn't be entering deep sleep after you returned to stock, did you use the cwm zip i posted above? If not, two files in your filesystem probably are not returned to stock.

@zindine: Good to hear. Probably related to the ramdisk differences then, actual kernel is nearly identical.

Regarding 0.3-pre2, changelog from 0.2:

- based on rogers source, with OC/UV code from romanbb/faux123/mr.x

- ondemand, interactive, userspace, performance, conservative, lagfree, smartassV2 governors

- 25mV undervolt across the board

- bus speeds/volts reduced slightly for stability

- GPU overclock 30mhz on 3d core and 10mhz on 2d core

- Autoscheduling implemented

- 1.83GHz step currently not working, seems to be related to GPU overclock and over-current protection. Setting 1.83GHz step causes weirdness like one core locking to 900mhz while the other core reports 1.83 and is really running 1.78. Stick to 1.78 max for now.

Use the test "Monjori" from android market to test GPU overclock - stock ROM gets 43 fps and with OC 50 fps. So far I've not found another test intensive enough to not be maxed out at stock speeds, please post if you find one that has room for improvement (that has repeatable results)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phonecurious:
I was using 0.2 which were causing power drain, i will try 0.3 and report
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:

small detail, but it looks like the links for the 0.3-pre2 kernel for at&t and rogers are flipped. if i click the Rogers link, i'm taken to a download with a file name included at&t (and vice versa).

thanks for the hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Not sure if anyone pointed this out yet but the link for AT&T Kernel 0.3-pre2 in the OP is going to a download link for the Rogers kernel.

I found the right link in Da_G's post above...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
CPU Spy shouldn't affect the ability to go to deep sleep - make sure you are using the "ondemand" governor, usb is unplugged, then hit the power button, let it sit for a minute or two and power it back on, check CPU Spy/refresh - you should see more time incremented on 54mhz/deep sleep :)

@propsizzle, thanks, fixing now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
No test yet ...

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to test it yet, although, I'm using 0.2, so I think I'll have the same problem. I can see from a later post that Rogers-0.3P2 solved your problem.

I'm just about to install Rogers-03P2. I'll let you know shortly.

Peter

Addendum: I was getting the absolute best benchmark scores using 0.2 on Rogers ... higher scores than any phone I've ever had, and far beyond what I've seen for this phone so far. Let you know about Rogers-0.3P2 shortly.

Hi

Great app just got the paid version. Me I had trouble since my server lost often upnp connectivity but samba as protocol overcomes this problem. Nevertheless further improvements are visible. I would like to remove manually some movies it detects and would like as well to manually change some movie information.

I think especially for series the automatic detection works only poorly.

Hope some will be fixed in next update.

Keep up the good work !

I know I need to work on a way to manually identify series, atm I'm working on some little UI improvment like creating tabs for video sources and grouping by seasons then I will work on that for sure.

[Android Apps and Games] ebioman:
Hi welcome

Actually I judged a little bit too fast, most series I was able now to include. Is there a way to differentiate between the different seasons ? For example I do have multiple Dexter seasons but can't distinguish them until I click on one of the item. Then it would say season 1 or 2 but they do have the same icons...
[Android Apps and Games] TerraWan:
Would this work with a Pogoplug device as well? The device support UPnP so I guess it would right?

Obviously yes, and in case the device as trouble to be recognised you can still use Samba.

If you want to be sure try the free version, the browser in the setup screen will show your device if its recognised.

Great App!!!

This is a great app I got the paid version.

Just finished renaming a bunch of my TV episodes.

Some of my movies didn't translate to the right IMBD number Example: 2012: Ice Age was resolved as Ice Age:continental Drift with is a Animated Movie. Not sure if there is another option to maybe include more description in my File Name to get the right movie.

[Android Apps and Games] ebioman:
Hi

thanks for the latest update, really brought some improvements!

Any progress on two important points, manual editing and manual removal of unwanted

movies ? The first one I overcame now by just renaming the files, but the second one

keeps being a little bit annoying. For example I do have a few movies which

then contain several video files, only one being the actual movie. Not being able

to remove the other ones adds unwanted extra films which I cant remove.

Keep on , updating ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adrome:
@sweborn : To browse over the INTERNET you should look at upnp/dlna. some servers offer this option and its easily/safely configurable.

Just want to say I love this app and bought the pro UPNP version!

I was so happy to see the addition of the TVDB api and I just LOVE the ability to fold all seasons into one using tabs!

Great Feature since I have a lot of TV stuff on my Server.

But there are still some bugs in the scraping aspects.

For one I can't seem to get the Looney Tunes collection to scrape properly. I know this is a special case as it uses years for Season Info not the usual 01,02 Etc...

S00 Scrapes properly but I suspect in the API implementation you may be truncating the season as the 4 number seasons do not seem to scrape properly and be incorporated into the season.

I also have an issue with remakes such as Day of the Dead where both wind p with the newer icon despite proper year being noted in the title.

Again I would suspect the full title (like the fll season number) is being truncated somehow.

As to what everyone else said I would love to be able to manually edit the Images and descriptions for movies I have that would not scrape because they are personal or un documented.

But all that aside I love this program you made!

EDIT: One feature I would like to see added is if the default meta source (in my case MovieDB and TVDB) comes up empty that the program should also look at IMDB

How can you choose which video player? I have bsplayer and MX player and I can't choose bsplayer
[Android Apps and Games] Asphyx:
Well for one your selections for players are limited by the filetype your trying to play and where your playing it from.

You choose the video player on first play and I suspect you may have set one as the default which would inhibit the program from asking again.

What player does it default to on playback?

Find that player in you Settings Applications and clear any defaults it has set.

Go back to Movie browser, try and play something and it should pop up a list of the players it can use.

If your bsplayer doesn't show in that list then it doesn't support that filetype.

If you don't check use player by default it will ask you for which player to use each time.

Any chance to get exclusion filemasks for search setup? For example the recordings from my htpc all have the channel name being included as part of name being searched: Example: "A Walk in the Clouds WWLFDT2" and the lookup fails due to the channel name...exclusion filemasks could be added so that _WWLFDT2_ in the filename gets converted to just "_" before doing a search.

Been using this for a while on my tablet (TF101) and has been great (uPNP version)!

just got a google tv box (logitech revue) and have downloaded this for its primary use on there (I have ESFile Explorer and GTVBox players installed, vplayer and other not working) - seeing the following issues:

1. The view in google TV means that you can only see 2 movies at a time, makes it quite slow to move around - can you a include a specific theme for gtv (for me, would be a wallpaper of all covers, with a second page for individual movie details?)

2. I cannot get a movie to play from the browser - it seems to be favouring GTVBox over ES video player (even though no defaults are set) and goes to a blank screen with the honeycomb circle (please wait) showing continuously

I have the movie files on an external hard drive connected to the USB input, so no uPNP issues to worry about - I will try moving a movie onto the internal memory tonight to see if that changes anything??

any tricks to try would be appreciated - looking for this to be my main app on the lgoitech (so that my son lets me have my tablet back!)
[Android Apps and Games] Sid6po1nt7:
Improvements for GTV

I am actually glad I read this. GTVBox has been giving me headaches in the video streaming category & I was curious about this on when looking through Google Play. Other than the issues below are you planning on adding a more in-depth video search? Most of my videos are in their own sub-folders & they are divided up by genre.

Plus I did see that the app appears to go to the GTVBox video player which makes me apprehensive in purchasing the full version. If you can add like genre folders & have the app point to the default player when selecting a movie I'd by this in a heartbeat. But seriously, 15min is not enough time for me to fully test out the paid version to see if this is what I am looking for.

I am impressed with the movie database look-up though, really cool!
[Android Apps and Games] Asphyx:
I will preface this reply with the admission I don't have GTV so what I say may not work...

That said regarding the sub folders there is a setting to set how many levels down it searches in the folders. It can go as much 4 folders deep, I can't imagine any filesystem going more than that anyway but maybe yours does.

I personally seperate my files based on Movie or TV shows on my Twonky. Each TV show has it's own folder and does each Movie Universe (Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible etc).

Something you may want on your limited GTV display is to have it use fold all TV seasons into a single item which gives you one icon for each TV show and when selected will give you tabs for each season and the Specials (season 0).

MB is limited to two across so if your only seeing two I don't see any way to change that, on my pad it shows 4 up in Landscape so perhaps GTV has something covering the other two I'm seeing.

As for the default player does GTV let you install your own players?

If it does once you do the browser should ask you which player to use and allow you to select it as the new default player.

My guess is if it does not do this either GTV locks the player you can use or it was already set as the default player and you must remove it as the default. Installing a new player should do that for you if GTV works like standard Android.

Unfortunatly the Browser does not really sort things other than the TV Show seasons and what it finds in the order of the search.

If your files are sorted based on Genre it will show them in the oder of the genres.

To do what you want to do (sort by Genre) effectively, go to sources, add each genre folder from your server as it's own source. Each source in movie browser will get it's own tab on the main screen that you can select based on the source.

That will give you a tab for each genre and sort them the way you want to.

Really do the organization on the server and then select the different server offerrings as it's own source and the Browser will sort and display things the way you want.
