Just installed 1127 trickle, no installation issues, zram audio boost confirmed working

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
If we are coming from an older version of this kernel do we have to re enable z ram and audio boost to have it function correctly?
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
Also do back light stay on constantly on the latest kernel cuz I have them covered up so I was wondering if they time out now or is that rom related?
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Anyone confirm if trickle charge actually works?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
it does according to this
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
@comradesven I noticed that available ram increased from 346 to 366. How did you do that?

My phone goes up to 100 while plugged in but drops to 95 when unplugged. Plus makes that darn noise likes it's being plugged in. Probably will switch to the 1127 minus the trickle.

*Borat voice* "Very nice" =)

Kernal is running pretty smoothly so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Agreed. On demand with cfq or sio gives you the best balance of speed, performance, smoothness and battery life.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
of the two, would CFQ/ondemand yield the best battery life? i think you answered this earlier but not quite sure...
[Fascinate Android Development] kyleco:
Didn't mean it wasn't good, just pointing it out for anyone interested in only speed. I use ondemand once in a while, but I could care less about battery life, mine lasts long enough for me. Haha

Didn't mean to step on toes playa.

[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
I wouldnt...all those tweaks are placebo. Only use zram!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
While on the subject, I disabled zram after using it for a while and I have to yet to find differences in performance between having it on or off. If there was only a way to empirically test it

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
The dock works for me...
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Honestly I never ran it either...I only suggested based on your posts and others. it seems like the only mod thats not completely placebo. Then again Im not sure. I know all the others I tried seem to be great at first, but end up doing more harm than good. Thanks for clearing this up tho!!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
I'm really not clearing it up cause I have no definitive answer. The one thing that I do know is that zram has no negative effects.

With this kernel, no other tweaks are necessary, including lag fix.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] MR H3LLMAN:
I've been using cfq and smartass v2 (-50 across the board). Personal favorite for speed, multitasking and using anything data intensive (notice a HUGE difference in data speeds when on smartass) Not the BEST battery life I've ever had but its manageable enough. Tend to throw on demand while I'm at work and clock from 1200 to 1000. I also tend to be near chargers a lot though haha.

I'd run this kernel but it is absolutely terrible to read kindle at night with the soft buttons being on. With stock kernel I can turn off the screen and turn it back on. As long as I don't touch soft buttons they well stay off. Can't do that on KGB. On KGB as long as screen is on the soft buttons are on.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
You could download BLN from market. Dunno if that's at all relevant to what you want.

[Fascinate Android Development] Monkeyzzzzz:
Nice!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Noticed since going to ADW with a live wallpaper, it is a little heavier and caches more then Go Launcher was without LW. I re-activated zram and so far, it seems to have fixed the some of RAM issues I was having.

I think this is a case where the Zram is really beneficial. But I will test more and let you know.
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
Has anybody had trouble re-enabling zram after disabling it? I disabled it for comparison and now when i go to re-enable it I get abort errors.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Try doing it right after a re boot

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] brickbeats:
i did. No luck.

edit: Figured it out. Flashed 1127 and was able to enable the ZRam. Thanks Laureanop

PS - Is anybody trying to get a Touchpad tonight??
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
In my experience, 1127 is more stable than 1202 and everything works without issues. That's what I'm using right now

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
Same here plus the smiley face is gone.
[Fascinate Android Development] sol_671:
What do you mean more stable? Stable when using those tweaks? Running 1202, without enabling anything running flawless so far, unless I haven't tested enough to find out. Just want to know if it's worth flashing 1127:)
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Used the wrong word. With 1202, I was having cwm issues when installing stuff and enabling and adjusting zram. Other than that, it was the same as 1127

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Yeah, I did the same. I flashed the latest ICS theme and forgot that the phone would not reboot and I lost half the battery, while the phone sat in the boot screen, DOH!!!

Went back to 11/27 and perfect! Think I will stay here a while.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Yep. 1127 is nearly flawless

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] mrf582:
Goal : stability, battery life, performance (in that order)

Any MTD ROM/KERNEL seems to have issues when switching between 3G and WiFi. This is a deal breaker.

So thinking of going with ASv2 and KGB kernel.

11/27 with its video problem is a deal breaker.

Which 12/02 KGB kernel do I want?
[Fascinate Android Development] steve2711:
KGB Kernal

Hi,

IS there any reason that this Kernal will not work with the new 2.3.5 OTA?
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Depends what ROM you're on. 12/02 for EH09 works perfectly with PWGB2.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
no, but it will break logcat

(not an issue for most)
[Fascinate Android Development] mrf582:
Thanks.

So Install this :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242747

Then flash this kernel over that?

Also, how does one look at stuff like EH03, EH09, EC09 and tell if they are talking about the kernel or the radio/modem? If you flash an EH09 kernel does it also flash the EH09 radio? Can anyone clear up this confusion for me?
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
All Kernels, radios and ROMs will be described in the post.

If you flash EH09 kernel it will not flash the radio. EH09 and EI20 are not VZW roms so there is no radio available. Only vzw Radios will work. EC09, EH03, ED05.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrf582:
OK...what about an EH03? Is that a kernel or a radio? Do kernels contain the radio parts? Some do, some don't?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Eh 03, eh 09, ei 20 :gb roms

Ec 09, eh 03, ed 05, ed 04 : radios

Kernels do not contain radios; only interact with them.

Complete odin packages contain all the radio, kernel, and Rom

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
no kernels dont contain radios, they are seperate. there is both a stock eh03 kernel and radio. only full odin packages normally contain the rom/kernel/radio as a package.

^I got ninja'd lol
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
I just posted a new build that I hope proves a bit more stable like 1127 was. The biggest change from that to 1202 was updates to the zram code, which shouldn't have made a difference. Go figure.

I'll reiterate that if you're not having problems with battery drop, don't flash the trickle charge kernel. The existing code already trickle charges when it works right.

Finally, I'm running out of ideas for things to put into this kernel. Suggest something and maybe it will get included!
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
A few people seem to be asking for shortened back lights.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"

Yeah, so far the choice is between lights on all the time (this one) and BLN actually shutting itself off after a second (imoseyeon).

Can't change the zram amount again. I deleted the file and re-activated zram, but it will not save my changes. then when I try to disable or enable, the phone reboots and I cannot get zram to enable without a lot of work.

I am not sure what I forgot, but this is pissing me off!
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
I'm glad it's not just me! Went from 11-27 to 12-12. Deleted zram out of init.d, and rebooted. It enabled fine, and I edited the zram file to change it from 48 to 64MB. I believe when it rebooted, zram wasn't even enabled! Tried to delete zram file and start over, but every attempt to enable hung and then caused a reboot. Ended up going back to 11-27 again and just sticking with 48MB. Is it just you and I having this problem, jcurley?
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
I went back to 11/27, but I cannot get the amounts to stick anymore. I deleted and rebooted. Re-enabled zram. Went into change amount. save, exit> reboot....nothing.
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
FWIW, I did finally get zram working on 1212. I did an extra reboot to make sure all was booting well. Downloaded the 1212 Kernel again, reflashed it, and enabled zram. I have decided to not try and change the size for a while, and leave it at 48MB. Not exactly sure what the problem is, or what I did to solve it but it is working now.
[Fascinate Android Development] ACLakey:
Thanks Comradseven for the Kernel. I am running this on NitsuJ17's SuperClean for the Mesmerize and it outstanding.
[Fascinate Android Development] AmanteNJ:
Was having the same problem when i try to edit 05zram file, everything i edit is not saving through root explorer. One thing i forgot is system files are all read-only so before you open and edit 05zram just click that gray button on the top right "mount r/w" and make sure it's on "mount r/o". by doing this your phone is allowed to make the 05zram.bak just in case you need to revert the edited file

[Fascinate Android Development] johnsma22:
Hey, I can finally post here! Thanks to all of you guys for helping me as I was lurking! I was also banging my head against the wall trying to get the zram file to save the changes. Each time I tried it it would state that it created the 05zram.bak, but it was nowhere to be found. After making sure that the file was on "mount r/o" I then attempted to change the value from 48mb to 64mb again and "saved and exited".

This time not only did it state that it had created the 05zram.bak file, but the .bak file was actually there. Now when I closed the file and then reopened it, the changes stuck.
[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
Thanks for this version. Previous version seemed to cause 2 or 3 random reboots daily, and some failures to wake up in the AM. None so far with this kernel. (It is possible that some app deletions may have helped as well, but I tried several things before the new kernel came out, without success, but since flashing this, smooth sailing.)
[Fascinate Android Development] jcurley:
Yep, I finally learned that. Just make sure you reboot your phone so the changes activate. It will stay at stock until you reboot.

Hey everyone :)

Has anyone using this kernel seen random / phantom keyboard pop-ups, home screen popups, applicaiton exits, or basically anything that would happen from one of the touchkeys being pressed without any keys actually having been pressed?

I'm trying to chase this issue down on the Glitch kernel and I get the feeling I've been doing a lot of barking up the wrong tree. I have a feeling it has something do do with improperly configured GPIO pins or an IRQ conflict, but I'll be damned if I have been able to find it. So if this is not happening in your kernel, then I'm about to embark on a very long coding experiment that I hope might shed some light on it, using this kernel as a basis for comparison, and possibly kanging a bunch of code from it.

Thanks in advance for the help, and keep up the awesome work. KGB is still rocking the socks off my wife's phone - so much so that I'm tempted to make the switch myself if it weren't for still wanting to support the glitch community and not having a spare to use for full-time development. :-p

Flashing this kernal

OK-Hear's a noob question; when I flash this kernal I have seen the Happy face and also heard a voice in the background saying something aboat 3 minutes.

Need some help

ok so i rooted my phone with CWM 3 blue. i also installed the CWM blue recovery. then i installed the KGB 12/12 kernel. then i installed Superclean ROM v3 .05. it all works great. the overclock is amazingly stable. then i did the 3g mod to get faster down and up load speeds. everything works. so heres the issue, i wanted to install CWM ROM manager premium 4.8.0.2, when i try to use the backup/restore or the download a rom option it says to select my phone to install a CWM recovery first before using whatever option i choose. well i try to continue with the install but it says to select my phone, theirs only two options to choose from and neither one of em are my phone. it gives me samsung epic4g and samsung i9000. i have a samsung i500 fascinate. so i chose the second one. it didnt work. so i retried the first one. it didnt work either. plus im confused as to why it would say i need CWM recovery when i have it installed.

can anyone enlighten a semi newb on what im doing wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Rom manager is pointless for the fascinate...especially running touch wiz roms. It does work ok if you use for mtd based roms ugrading cm7 nightlies frequently. But since there has not been a nightly build since 11/16, its really useless. Just flash everything manually thru cwm.

Ok I need help!

I have had this phone for over a year now, I have flashed countless times, roms, radios, kernels etc. By no means I am a noob.

So my phone is on SuperClean EH03 with the stock rooted kernel. I have tried many times to flash KGB and it never flashes right for me.

It never seems to do the voodoo conversion, it just boots normally after flashing the kernel. Then it takes years doing the media scanning, and after it is done, the phone is super slow.

I have tried flashing this kernel with the read and blue cwm, no difference. I have tried the odin and the cwm files, no difference. I always have to return to the stock kernel for the phone to work right.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] HuskerDad3:
First thing to check is if you have a disable-lagfix file in your /sdcard/Voodoo folder. If you do, delete it, the presence of that file prevents the lagfix conversion.

After you delete the file, reboot into recovery and make sure you have enabled lagfix on next boot.

Now, when you reboot, you should hear the robot lady voice.

Personally, I am running SC3 v.0.5 and KGB 12/12 without lagfix and my phone runs great. I do have it overclocked to 1200 and undervolted, so your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps.

Is there anyway to have the soft buttons (home, menu,etc) light go off even when the screen is on?

I have the desk cradle charger on next to my bed and I use the phone as my alarm clock. I have a desk clock app install and run during the evening, but the light on the buttons are so bright I know they are not going to let me sleep.

In the EH03 stock kernel, you could lock the phone, unlock it and the lights would stay off as long as you didnt use any of the soft buttons.

Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
That's a hack that has to be implemented in the kernel. So for now you're out of luck

pull -50uv from 100mhz-1000mhz steps and 1200mhz-1500mhz try -25uv...dont save as boot settings until you know its stable. Then you just have to tweak it from there, no 2 devices react the same.
