lsmod does not list the modules as being loaded

I get "Mounting the share has failed with an error: mount, no such device or address" on cifs manager

and

Wireless tether does not list mss clamping as an option in the newest experimental and beta versions. I've read that it only lists it as an option if it's available on the device

I tested openvpn using a config that I proofed from another connection / device and it failed to work. Unfortunately openvpn for android does not make logs but I assure you I used a working config and the binary was installed (was it installed by you? I didn't need to install it yet openvpn installed showed that it existed)
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
AS per the OP Voodoo COLOR Seems good to me.

Been using these settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20113105&postcount=124
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have an openvpn server setup at the moment so I can't test that, but I have no problem connecting to my office with the stock vpn connection settings. I don't seem to have any trouble using cifs manager, either on a local wifi network or over the vpn connection, so I'm not sure what that problem is. But i also do not see anything regarding clamping in wifi tether. I will recompile as modules tonight and see if that fixes the problems.

EDIT: FWIW, If I check the prerequisites in the VPNC Widget app, it recognizes the tun driver (although gives the warning about advanced routing, which I will investigate).

EDIT2: Actually, I do have an openvpn server setup, or at least partially. Guess I messed around with that a while back and forgot about it. Either way, I'm able to connect to it, although I have to tweak my config a bit because the routing is not setup correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Please don't think I'm ignoring your posts. I really appreciate the feed back and will most likely be adding in the smart assv2 governor. possibly more, but I just needed some time to read up on them. Thanks, and stay tuned :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Did you ever look into the thing I posted about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] t3k.wes:
After about 20 hours of messing with it I was able to conclude that most of it was user error / quirks unrelated to kernel support.

I was able to get cifs to work by chmod 775 /mnt/cifs -r and removing a trailing / .... the chmod probably wasn't necessary (facepalm)

I got openvpn up and running by reinstalling the binaries and setting the location to system/bin instead of default. Then it would connect but not tunnel traffic. the fix for that was (setting the protocol to tcp << probably not necessary) and netcfg tap0 up followed by netcfg tap0 dhcp

Wireless tether works, I don't know how to tell if the segment size is being clamped or not. The xt_TCPMSS for EH17 from the "additional kernel modules" thread loads successfully though

My life is complete. I have never been so completely pleased with with and impressed by a kernel. This thing has everything I can even think of wanting in a kernel. Great job and thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
I love this kernel, running v1.01 on legendary rc2.1.

Three finger reboot, finally!

Only suggestion so far is the clockwork redir from the reboot menu doesn't seem to work, just does a normal reboot. But no big deal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yes, I'm reading through the voltage control thread and investigating any issues with the code.

I will check the legendary ROM, but I have made a small change which fixes the recovery reboot on SleeperROM that will be included in the next release. It might be the same issue.

Thanks to both of you and everyone else for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
This is fixed in the upcoming version

EDIT : So much for trying to help out!! haha :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
@Bbelos - you've got quite a hand full here. Please don't feel rushed to push these updates out. The best kernel devs always made patience a good thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I agree, take your time!
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Take yo time nigga

The beautiful thing about your colonel is that its stable enough to make waiting viable :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Yea definitely take your time, this is a great kernel and should stay that way, no rushed updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
CleanGB compatible?

Does anyone know if this kernel works with the latest CleanGB rom? I would love to get voodoo color ability back...????
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
yep ! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Why is this all the way down here?? :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Idk but this kernel is vary stabel

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Yes indeed! Been running this for a while now, definitely loving the stability and speed. Keep up the good work bbelos :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
I am loving this kernel. Think its my new favorite!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidApprentice:
Is anyone running this in combination with the Mostly Stock ROM and how do you like it? Any precautions besides wiping cache and dalvik before the flash that you advise?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Love this kernel, running with ERA RC2.1.

If I don't run voltage control at all, what are the OC/UV settings built into the kernel? Is it stock voltage stock speeds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Stock voltages were left alone, although it does add in 600 and 900MHz. And no overclocking is done by default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
I was until a few days ago, but never had a problem with the combination, shadow is actually better than anything later than 2.08 in samurai IMHO... Just went to Clean GB with this kernel, it is a definite keeper. I am done in my search of the perfect combo, unless either have an update
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
No eta's but updates in the future?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yes, a new release is coming very soon. Just working on one more thing right now. For a sneak peak of some of the bigger changes: Fixed reboot recovery compatibility with certain ROMs, added governors SmartassV2 & InteractiveX, added schedulers BFQ & SIO, fix for voltage control not being able to disable frequencies, more...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Yay!

Aw **** :-( I don't want the capacative light fix though.

I've literally been waiting since the day I got this phone for the softkeys to always be lit with the screen on... whole reason I stuck with 1.0+ (plus I'm ocd and like the even clean looking "1.0" version number... I know, I'm weird. Hell if I could have it my way I'd want a kernel with no custom name added at all, just for the clean look)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
When the new version is released, try changing the keyboard timeout in the display settings to "Same as Screen Timeout".
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
These kernels have been running extremely well for me this past week or so. I am seeing a beautiful blend of battery life, performace, and stability on various setups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Right. It's tied in with the keyboard timeout now, sounds like that should work just fine. Also, which toolchain are you using if you don't mind my asking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Currently using the arm-eabi-4.4.0 toolchain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Now what would be really cool is if we could dim the softkeys with the screen. But idk if the PCM powering the leds can do that?

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Don't know much about kernel development but thought I'd share this
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
No reboots or shutdowns with this kernel and I've been running it heavily for almost 24 hours now...

Love this kernel. Voodoo color is simply amazing. Thanks for your work. Just installed the latest update. So far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Bbelos, what are the settings you run? As in scheduler, governor?

You are a noop/conservative/100-1000 guy right?

I've been running that for a few days and getting great battery life. I'm just seeing if you switched your default with the new schedulers and governor you added!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I'm giving SIO/SmartassV2 a try for while since I use my phone more in small bursts throughout the day. And you are correct, I don't usually overclock unless i'm testing something, but I am running the plus kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
This kernel as it stands now is the most amazing thing I've ever run on my phone. The 600mhz step is buggy as hell (always has been imo) but since you fixed the VC compatibility I can finally "truely" disable frequencies.

Running 200, 400, 800, 1200, 1400 with SmartassV2/Noop

Scoring 2100 in quadrant. 56fps all through the hallway, 28fps around corner, 56fps up the stairs, 28 at the end. Straight 56fps through Planet. Straight 28 on DNA. No stuttering or fps bouncing around anywhere. The fps are literally staying at those numbers through each part it's friggin beautiful! (I highly recommend these setting to everyone.)

I've never seen my phone run so smooth all around, ever!

And I'm no novice at this. (Well... I don't know kernel development yet but you know what I mean.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbartels:
I LOVE this Kernel - thank you! I never mess with the setting in Voltage Control but this still makes things run smoothly and the battery life is outstanding! Dumb question - how do you know that 600 mhz is buggy on your phone? Is that across the board or a phone specific thing? I can't see what mhz the phone is on unless I'm in Voltage Control so I'm curious how you know it's 600 that's buggy. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Hows your battery? I'm just trying this out. How does smartassv2 function? What's the difference between the other profiles?
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Flashed this kernel and the auto brightness is way to dark now. How do we fix this? I would like to use auto brightness again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Loving this update. Super smooth and working great on legendary. Running sio and smartassv2 at 100/1000 without 600 and 900 enabled. Great job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] runngwlf:
It seems to be the voodoo color that messes with the auto brightness function. In my experience setting voodoo so that the colors look the best seems to darken the screen a bit. Where I used to run with the brightness all the way down, now I need to have it at around 10%. Reset your voodoo color settings to the stock levels and you will see what I mean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Use voodoo control app to adjust your display settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Thanks for the hard work!! Good choice of Governors & I/O schedulers - a balance between feature and maintainability.

Could anyone elaborate on the above items?

Does increasing USB signal quality address the the USB cable-related connection issues?

What are/were the symptoms for SD card corruption? I must have missed threads mentioning kernel-related SD issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Wow this is the best kernel by far for my phone at the moment and I've tried them all. No lags reboots or freezes whatsoever. Overclocked to 1.4 and running super smooth. And voodoo color, once running voodoo going back is doodoo. Keep up the great work. Running revival rom with honeycomb explosion theme and lockscreen disabled but with magiclocker.

Which one did you download?

I downloaded Voodoo Control from the Market and works on my device.

Sent from Epic 4G [LegendaryROM/ShadowKernel]
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I determined that by testing with all frequencies, then disabling one at a time. As soon as 600 is disabled there's a noticable difference in smoothness, especially with the steadiness of fps in quadrant, but also all around. I've thought this for awhile but was able to confirm now that the kernel can truely disable frequencies within the voltage control app.

And my battery life is plenty fair with this kernel.

I decided to drop 1400 and running 1200 max, undervolting all frequencies by 50.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
To quote senseiSimple's issue before the USB signal quality fix: "about the usb, the effect is mostly seen when trying to charge while off, but it also has repercussions to the battery fuel gauge not showing the green "Charging" bar at the bottom, charge notification LED not working, no usb debugging, no usb file transfer mode, and no usb tethering. " It wasn't a problem for everyone, but if you had any of these symptoms, I hope it is fixed now.

All the SD card corruption discussion was happening in the samurai thread. The fix applies possibly to lower quality sd cards by increasing the timeout value for reads/writes which otherwise would take too long to complete and fail, appearing to be corrupted data.

Which governor were you using? I've noticed very odd behavior using performance(i would not recommend), but otherwise haven't seen any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
What is sd read ahead set to by default on these kernels? I always use sd speed increase app to set it to 2048kb after flashing. Just a habit I got into while running dual boot on froyo a while back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Here's a quick and easy page describing the governors http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/CPU_Frequency_Scaling

I have not messed with those settings so it looks to be 128kb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] G.I.Geoff:
Dang. I dunno what changed between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, but I'm experiencing crippling lag. And thoughts? I'm on legendary ROM. 2.1. And yes I flopped back and forth between then to check.

Its the vodoo sound app, scroll down and the options are there.

Sent from me
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I was on Legendary 2.0 since yesterday, just updated to 2.1 to test. So far no problems. I would need more information from you: which kernel (normal or plus)? overclocked? what governor?

Word of advise to everyone: I would NOT use performance governor. Especially if you like to use quadrant. After time the frequency will lock to a lower and lower value. Quadrant speeds up this process and will immediately max at 400MHz after the test. Easily fixed by changing back to another governor.

P.S. This is not specific to shadowkernel. I can reproduce this result on nubernel and samurai.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It's actually called "Voodoo Control" but yes, it's the same app that controls the voodoo sound settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
:O

I've been running 1.01+ with no issues (cept for it locking at 800mhz from time to time...but that's easy to fix...I just don't know what causes it lol)

I can't wait to update!

Btw guys, you should use SGS kernel flasher, I flashed shadow over samurai with that app cuz I was wayyyy too lazy to 3finger and it was instant lol

But srsly dev great work
[Epic 4G Android Development] G.I.Geoff:
Legendary 2.1, fresh flash of the plus version of your kernel(over clock version) but I didn't mess with any of the governors, or the IO scheduler, or overclocking, or under volting. So whatever one is default. I can flash back and check. But when I flashed it, it lagged terribly. So after a few minutes to finally get voltage control open, I switched between different governors to no effect

Using Purple CWM (3.1.x?) can anyone perform a "fix permissions" under the Advanced Menu works? When I run it, it actually freezes CWM, and I have to pull the battery. Running IAP's kernel it worked fine...

On SleeperRom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Why dont you update to CWM 5.0.2.7:confused:

Not many people are going to be able to answer your question because your using outdated software

I can say I have not had this problem the one time I fixed permissions in shadow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Just FYI this kernel is ****ing BOSS! My phone hates Samurai and Nubernel's are great performance wise but battery sucks. This kernel has a-freaking-mazing battery life and is buttery smooth. Well done to the devs for this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I just reflashed back to CWM 3.whatever to test it. Took about 45 secs but it worked fine. Also works fine with 5.x
[Epic 4G Android Development] phdeez:
Hrmm, I tried updating via Rom Manager and it failed... didn't want to hassle with Odin at the time- and 3.1 seemingly worked fine prior to using this kernel and fix permissions... everything else worked fine.

Maybe I'll wipe/re-update with Sleeper...

Thanks also for double checking... maybe it's user error (me)...

Thanks everyone for the quick responses!! I'll focus more on the 5.0.2.7 CWM and go from there!

I don't know why but I kept getting lockups with this kernel while using Firefox.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
Thank goodness for this kernal... I installed legendary rom 2.1 and had awesome speed and battery life. But after 2 days it got sooooo laggy! Installed this kernal, due to reading good things, undervolted a bit and its running buttery smooth again. Took a lot of tweeking to get voodo colors right.Aparently I have to almost max out my blue to make it have good whites. I will report back with battery life findings in a couple days... hopefully not any worse. As I have been getting 15 plus hours on legendary with moderate high use... thanks for a awesome kernal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phdeez:
Wanted to check back in... and thank bbelos for the time-frame. With IAP's kernel the fixed permissions thing completed in less than 5 secs whereas I waited at least 1 minute with this one (which was successful). So yes, it was "user error". Also, with everyone nudging towards CWM 5.x, I went ahead and did that. I guess previously when I read the CWM thread I thought the only way to get it installed was via Rom Manager (failed) or ODIN. After further investigation I was able to update from within CWM 3.1 with a flashable zip. Man, talk about skimming through the OP too quickly.

Anyways, again, thanks for the quick response :D
