What's about a little more speed?

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Thanks. I'll try it out and see if it works.

Oh yes, and Jelly Bean Source Code is out :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
Those apks work. I've also added enlish dict to my test build.

Ill pull jb into my aosp tree later.

I hacked the emulater image up yesterday, it boots but ts didn't work because cm9 hacks weren't there. Hopefully ill have a test build for that soon too.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
Kfazz,

Did some BT testing on the 07/03 build. Still pairs and connects. Media audio routes without a problem, phone calls do not route at all now though. All phone call audio routes to normal handset even when BT is selected. Noticed the device is still named Bluez which is typically deefault. There also isn't an hciconfig exec in /system/bin. I pushed one in and a config does show up, so it's pretty close I think.

Thanks for keeping up the great work! Looking forward to the next ics and jb :) builds!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
am i to believe that we might get jelly bean ported to the og droid also? lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
today i ws able to hack in the defy qtouch-obp-ts drivers and enable 5 point multitouch

the new drivers came with new firmware. previously ver 19, new ver 22.

this actually got flashed to the touchscreen controller, it's a one way process, unless someone can dump v19 from their phone.. but

the new ver is compatible with old kernels too, so i don't think it's a big deal.

i also modified the way the driver reports touch events based on moto stingray qtouch driver

this is compatible with ics and jb without hacks.

ics progress: testing an odexed build. it's 20mb larger, but uses 20mb less ram and it's fast! now half of system/app lives on /data

jb: boots. touchscreen is ... weird. no radio audio sensors lights anything really.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Great progress! Thanks. looking forward to your future builds! :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] imanol01:
I dont think'' So

Updated SGX PVR drivers to 1.8 (ICS, full hardware acceleration).

Lot of updates, tweaks and fixes... in the a853 build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1761393

I think that can update it on a855 and get a lot of fixes..! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
if you can get jelly bean on the old droid 1 working that would be amazing, i'd love to see how project butter would work on the droid (for anyone that doesnt know project butter is the name for what google did to try to make the UI and everything run at a solid 60fps and vastly improve fluidity and reduce lag. On the gnex the speed and fluidity differences from ics to jb is night and day, it makes it feel like a new phone)

a couple ideas for jelly bean screen issue though- did you do anything with the kernel graphics drivers? i know the kernel devs for the gnex building kernels said something about jelly bean using new gpu drivers?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Just Wondering....

What's the requirements for jelly bean...? project butter would definitely be sweet on the droid 1 a855 but how well will it work if the device doesn't meet the requirements? or worst it can't even run butter because of it...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rancur3p1c:
Gpu is too slow, doesn't have the memory bandwidth, can't render very fast
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
Not trying to argue, but I think that is what was said about ICS on the OG and look where we are now! Thanks to kfazz for keeping up this pains taking work! (:

So far I've been running this for almost a week as my activated daily driver and I've been impressed with the performance. The only major problems that I've notice has been BT in-call routing and trying to steam audio and run other apps (ie gps) at the same time. My thought is that could be something to do with memory, but just my thought. Looking forward to the next release! :) I think we are out of the Alpha phase and into a pretty much full functional beta...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hyoga68:
Bug on WiFi???

I'm glad with this rom, never thought my old OG Droid could run with ICS, but the only "bad" thing I found so far, it's that when I use WiFi, my Droid tries to connect to google.com/analitics al the time.

This doesn't happen when I'm using 3G...

Any idea???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Only issue I am having is the browser is very slow and sometimes crashes the phone.

Edit: fixed issue by wiping everything and reflashing. For some reason, links2sd makes my phone slower
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
SD card read-up time bug...?

I been doing some testing, maybe someone who uses the cm9 bootanimation like me can comfirm, but if there's no custom bootanimation the rom will prepare the sd card correctly. However if I place the cm9 bootanimation it doesn't prepare the sd card at bootup or may it tries while the animation is still booting...?

Anyways don't know it this helps but hope it does... I've just removed the bootanimation as it's really not that important to me...

P.S. I also have no wifi problems and I use boat browser so no kind of crashes or lag whatsoever....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
I can confirm that. In addition, for some reason, that cm 9 boot animation also makes my phone slower and freeze up. When I removed it, my phone worked better.

Maybe that's why links2sd didn't work properly for me?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
7/3 - cm9 boot animation = more speed and less crashes!!

I can confirm as well that my phone is faster without cm9 boot animation... weird....??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] spencerp00713:
well well

finally getting to post. K i've had all your updates, kickin job!! Bt a bit buggy, webz closes, laggy. v6 supercharger, 3g supercharger, and the kernelizer takes out some lag and fc's but not much. running on 7mb ram :O scary!! any hootz cannot WAIT till the next update! keep it up. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
today's project is sgx re-clocking.

stock max is sdram @ 160.5Mhz Sgx Fclock @ 107mhz

currently at: sdram: 180Mhz Sgx Fclk: 120Mhz

seems stable.

also switched panel driver to milestone version

this hack breaks stock timings, and the gpu no longer downclocks :/

more testing needed
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mgross029:
Nice! Can't wait check this out when it's ready. Thanks for the updates!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
testing: cpu @ 1000Mhz, Ram @ 200Mhz, sgx @ 133Mhz

quadrant ~ 950
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rancur3p1c:
wowow. That's going to speed up the UI significantly. Can't wait.

Even when we run the CPU at 1.2ghz, the UI still lagged a lot.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

wow, this is going to be WAY faster!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
i set max fps to 130 and it got rid of alot of lag
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
how??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
okay open up the v6 script. use #19. ater you install that reboot. then go to rom toolbox (i have pro i dont know if you can in the lite version but probably) then go to build.prop tweaks and its at the bottom. im about to try it set to 150.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
kinda lost...?

When I run v6 supercharge via script manager it does everything automatically... there's no option for #19...? any help here...?

are you talking about windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec...? cause one is at 200 already the other was at 60, I just set it to 130....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Can someone give me a link to v6 supercharger? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Shortcut!!!

Here you Go!!

Install via script manager, make sure you click the little SU(superuser) icon before you press run!!

P.S. If your installing v6 supercharge, I HIGHLY recommend the kickasskernelizer as well!! together it's a completely different rom!!!!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
I am gonna try it out now. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Good Luck!!

post your results... also be sure to install update9 RC10, if you also install 3gturbocharger choose option 7 to install wifi afterburn... I also used option 5 for the "sercet" maxed out 3g...

just my thoughts...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Thanks! It feels a lot faster. I ended up installing all those tweaks lol. Can't wait for next ics build. I bet things will be even faster! :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
thanks for the feedback

me either!! with the re-clocking he's done and him saying it's faster himself... (plus removing that wasteful 4mb dspmanager) and the v6+kak scripts... bodda boom!!! project margin (j/k) lol...

he also said he found the source of a lot of battery draining and patched/fixed it....

Tip: if you have root explore, go to system/apps and delete dspmanager yourself... if you don't use it... it's kinda broken anyway from what kfazz says... it'll free up like 4-5mb of ram...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
im sorry i meant to say max events. not fps. and im using the v6 supercharger script rco9. for some reason my computer wont download the new scripts.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
there's always the latter...

you can also try and download them from your phone.... My max events are already at 200... should I lower them...?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
thats weird. mine was set at 60 before i did anything to it.. i set it to 150 and its alot faster. i dont have any ui lag and games run fine. i wonder why mine was so low?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
Man I can't wait till the next update drops

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
My camera is really slow to load. It sometimes also freezes my phone. Anyway to fix that?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
not that i know of. im just happy he got it working. itl probably get better with every update. he is putting alot of time and work into this rom
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
v6...?

try installing the v6 supercharge and kickasskernelizer scripts... delete dspmanager from system/apps with root explorer...

that should do it...

my camera runs brilliantly:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
i did all that except the kickasskernelizer and my camera runs fine
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
figured as much... xD

lol... you should install all the scripts here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
still having problems integrating overclock.

setting the frequency manually works ok, but letting the kernel handle it causes the phone not to boot :/

this may be related to a hardware bug in omap3 relating to dpll lock and sdram timings.

of course disabling the automatic control means the ram snd sgx are running at full speed even while the phone is idle, and the battery life suffers.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
how bad would the battery life be?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
As long as it last all day I'm good my fassy doesn't do it

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
figured it out:) well maybe i don't quite understand it, but it works :D

problem was in sram34x.S

apparently newer kernels don't modify sdram AC timings because sram code can't guarantee no one is using sram when the clock change occurs, which causes random crashes, or in our case, no boot.

i've also rebased my kernel on deprimed and so far all is good.

still need to test battery life, it's probaly worse, but better than previously posted builds

screen off: ram @ 80Mhz sgx at 53Mhz

screen on: ram @ 200Mhz sgx @ 133Mhz

Edit2 warning was caused by dsp opp2 not being able to be set

dropped dsp opp2 to 160.

i've been use it and retheme it and its pretty cool 8-)

can't wait for next update

*update

i've got jelly bean searchengine function too :)

(not the voice it still not function on any ics rom)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Would it be a good idea to re run the v6 scripts after restoring a bunch of apps on titanium? My phone feels slightly more sluggish.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
yea I would.... uncharge and then re/v6charge.. if any apps in particular, bulletproof those apps as well...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
cant wait til the new build is up hahahaha and i havent really had battery life. it will last over a day if i dont play any games. and i know some people said they were running on VERY LITTLE ram. im running between 30-50 mb free. i dont know if that helps or not. also my max events was set at 60. i set it to 150 and it got rid of all my lag. except when i hit the home button and it goes to the screen over view. but i think my max events were set low before i changed them because iwillis were set alot higher
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
How do I set it to 150? I don't see an option to.

Edit: Just wanted to bring this up. Google Now Voice now works on ICS. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
im using a older v6 supercharger script (rco9) and i chose option 19. its the nitro lag nullifier. then i went to rom toolbox pro into build.prop tweaks. its at the bottom. i dont know if you can still choose option 19 with the newest v6 supercharger though

you have to install #19 for it to show up in rom toolbox pro
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
it's install by default...

yea, you can... it's all done automatically on the new versions of the v6 script... if you've already install the v6 scripts just install lucky market patcher and rom toolbox pro/or just rom toolbox lite...

sn: v6 supercharge or kickasskernelizer... one of these set's the max events to 200... that's why mine were so high...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] db2u:
First off I want to say thank you for all of the hard work on this ROM.

Second, I am a little confused. Surely there have been attempts to overclock the RAM and GPU of this phone in the years it has been on the market. If these were successful wouldnt there already be utilities or kernels for froyo or gb that did this successfully? I guess I am just saying that I am hoping this isnt a dead end street that is getting sped down. Are there other ways to make the performance of the UI better than overclocking? Is ICS that hardware intensive? I just thought most of the limitations were software drivers and things of that sort, not that the hardware was just that incapable of running it. I mean, just overclocking the CPU on my droid gives me quadrant scores equivalent to my wifes droid 2, which seems to be getting an official CM9 port. Is it really necessary to overclock the RAM and GPU to make this run smoothly or am I mistaken?

I guess I just dont completely understand why this latest bit of work is being done at this point in development rather than optimizing the ROM the best it can be currently, THEN releasing a kernel that overclocks the RAM and GPU later?

Again I mean absolutely no disrespect but it just seems like the interest kind of went off target somewhere... I can understand making things overclock is probably more fun...but getting the ROM out of Alpha stage seems like it would be a bigger accomplishment
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
No disrespect Intended...

Are you a user of this rom...? really...? lol... anyone using this rom could tell you, we don't really care much about the "few" things left that don't work properly... for most,(including me) this is a daily driver, our main concern now is speed, and smoothness(the absents of lag) thus all the talk of the v6 supercharge scripts, etc... so to us, and apparently kfazz gpu and ram overclocking is on target... the few bugs left we'll worry about then...

also note... re-clocking is not the only thing he's doing/fixing... so if you really were happy with his hard work, why do you think "his hard work" is off target...? I think his target has always been what it still his... doing what "he wants" and I really like that one...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] db2u:
Actually I tried to use the rom, it was snappy at some times and horrible lag at others. I dont mind the non functional parts personally but It seems like overclocking is not what is needed to fix the issues, since they seemed to be inconsistent lags. For example, dialing the phone seemed to take a bit longer between keypresses for it to register. How in the world is OCing the GPU and RAM going to fix this? It cant be super intensive to dial the phone. Other parts of the ROM ran beautifully at times...

My point is this:

Is overclocking the GPU and RAM the main way to get rid of the lag? Why cant the extreme O/Cing (yes OCing the RAM and GPU is what I consider extreme, I have not seen any other ROM attempt this) be left to a flashable kernel after the kinks are worked out of the ROM?

Personally I would be much more interested in the odexed build kfazz was working on. by his own admission it was FAST, - I would be absolutely ok with sacrificing 20mb of space for some built in speed rather than being able to theme a rom.

Supercharger scripts are fine, you guys can do that with the rom if you want, that really doesnt affect what kfazz is doing does it?

I feel like you kind of missed the point of my post.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Point taken...

I get/got your point... All I'm saying is apparently even with his odexed build, "he" felt that OC the ram and gpu was necessary at least would help with speed/lag reduction on the UI... "think about it" nobody ask him to OC the ram and gpu. You yourself said nobody really does it in roms, so that idea wasn't taking from someone else... think... he knows ALOT about this rom seeing he's been working on it since the begging of this thread... I just don't see how questioning what he fixes is appreciative of his work... All he ask of us is to report unknown bugs, not question his work ethics or what he fixes first... and if he wants us to know why he "did this" or "fix that" it'll be in the change-log. I just think if you worded your question better... kfazz may have answered it by now...

that's all I'm sayin...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] db2u:
And all I'm sayin is that I hope the development of the ROM isnt getting off track by the pursuit of the overclocking. I feel that I have a right to post my thoughts considering this is a forum where people post their thoughts and ideas, and as far as I know I am not breaking any of the rules (asking for etas etc). I do not see how this is being interpreted as me bashing kfazz's work ethic????

Kfazz if you take any offense to what I am saying I apologize, none is intended.

Here, I will reword my question:

Is the overclocking of these components necessary? Will a final build be available without the RAM and GPU overclock built in, or is smooth running of ICS on the OG Droid dependent on this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
Actually seeing that ics was never ment to run on 225 mb ram or 256 whatever u want to believe that is the phone lol and seeing that even the gb roms was over clocked with the stock ran at 550 so im going to say yes its probally needed for better performance, and i dont expierence any lag on the phone section
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] db2u:
Regarding the 256mb ram, overclocking the ram and gpu isnt going to change how much ram is available, the oc would help in different ways.

Also, you are talking about CPU overclocking, that is something completely different than what we are talking about here.

If I remember right actually it was initially UNDERCLOCKED to 550, the CPU stock is clocked at 600, and one of the OTA updates the bumped it that last 50mhz. GB roms did not come overclocked by default for the most part, but allowed for an overclock. I have no problem with this and like to run at about 900mhz on GB, but it isnt required to get rid of OS lag from my experience.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
Overclocking the GPU and RAM will make the UI smoother thats why he is doing it other than that it seems close to Beta or RC
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
i never said it would increase the amount of ram and overclocking will help with the lag if no notice at the cpu when u run something it will increase to almost as high as u have the max set too
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
EEEK!

Actually I do think everyone is misunderstanding what db2u is getting at, I think he's amking some good points and knows plenty about this phone and history. Probably has had it since day 1 like me. And I really doubt he would have posted here at all without trying the ROM first, as was found out.

Keep up the good work kfazz and thank you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
second im happy with everything hes done already..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Prack:
How about giving this rom a name? I know it's beta but I'd like to update my signature lol.

Keep up the great work!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
You could name it "CM 9 unofficial port by kfazz", since it is based on CM 9.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:

Lets call it KM9 Unofficial CM9 Port to OG Droid
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Apart from V6 super charger and kickass kernelizer, what are some other things I can do to make this rom faster? Will stuff like swapper2 work? Thanks

Per the thread title, its still called Droid A855 ICS Build Attempt :silly:

Eagerly awaiting whatever comes our way in the next build, hoping it comes when I am still working nights, I get bored sitting here the wee hours of the morning and loading a new build of ICS sounds oh so fun!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Prack:
How about you guys let kfazz name it lol. It is his work after all.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:

Then why did you start the name game? I agree with this, let kfazz name it as he already has ^^^^^
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lunatic768:
I'm now running infernox51's build with kfazz's gapps posted earlier

When I went to overclock with SetCPU with an interactive gov it froze

trebuchet is also still crashing, so I also tried to flash the Nova ICS launcher with Rom Manager, it wouldn't install

I am considering wiping and starting again, and maybe trying Nova again
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MK17:
I would re-flash. I haven't had a Trebuchet crash. Haven't had DSPManage crash either.
