PowerAMP

I discovered the reboots i get sometimes using PowerAMP is related to the file type. For those files that have variable bit rate, Kernel cant handle it very well at @1300. If I drop down the clock to 1.GHz or I play another file (non VBR) it goes just fine.

Parsing logcat, it doesnt gave any clue about what was happening - as the system freezes, the log just stops when those files are invoked, then reboot.

If you have PowerAMP installed you can give it a try yourself. For me, files that i couldn't run with PowerAMP @1300 I've tried is WMAv2. I've successful ran WAV and MP3 320kbps.

Going to be Posting a 3.0.14 w/ permission from Ezekeel to use his Patches..

however, blx / Deep_idle ( and a few things I can't recall wont be included..

Reason is I like the deep_idle I put together that functions on the base of his deep_idle if that make's since at all?

Voodoo color has been fixed to use the stock display settings to get rid of the green effect... ( Just a matter of changing -7, -14, -18. to -0, -0, -0 like stock )

I'll have it posted tonight, source is already been pushed since last night for those wanting to build it.

More than happy to, just have to add this in still. as, I've yet to add this to the source just yet.

Thanks Eugene!

Nice. Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] iseedeadpeople:
so is the voodoo app included on the kernel or no? also i still have the green flicker when unlocking, i have the latest nexusbeam 4.1 and i902xx
[Nexus S Android Development] LuffyPSP:
this current version actually is pretty snappy and battery life is excellent(after i removed setcpu).

Keep up the good work mate!

using this kernel + BM's stock ICS. 18 hours and 60% left with heavy gtalk use. :D GPS, sync, wifi/data turned on since last charged. :D Display is 1 hour though but for me this is great! usually it last for 7 hours even without that much display using the same rom. i flashed your kernel on top of Glados and Matr1x and never wiped anything.

Hope you come with your own stock rom with mod request from user in the future. :D cuz i like stock feel but be able to turn on and off mods i dont want like CM did. I also like mods that many user requests like how Oxygen is implemented. :D

anyway, thanks again!
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
This kernel is just amazing. Rock solid for me with GREAT battery life. 1000min/max with interactive governor. -9hrs with 35% remaining under heavy voice calls, texting, and using navigation with GPS on with screen on auto-brightness. I'd love this kernel with bigmem implemented
[Nexus S Android Development] Arcarsenal:
Anyone have problems with the wifi hotspot? I can't seem to get it to stay on. Might also be the Neapolitan rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Um, yeah Bln is showing in NS tools, but I didn't get a LED notification when I got an SMS. Still, works great for now, hope BLN will be added soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] dkm911:
Great job!

Hope that Smartass v2 cpu governor could be added asap, cause I use my phone frequently and this mode is suitable for me!

By the way, will you consider adding touchwake to 3.0.14?
[Nexus S Android Development] firefox360:
After flashing this kernel, I can't tether any more. When I try to turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot, I get "Error" under the selection. Trying to tether through USB connectivity manages a bit further, but my computer can't seem to get an IP address from the phone so there's essentially no network connectivity.

Previously with the stock kernel, the hotspot option didn't work, but I was able to at least tether over USB.

Other than that, this kernel seems pretty stable so far and I've really missed the Voodoo color drivers after living with the stock kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] Gwadro:
I can not confirm. OTA ICS with this kernel.

WiFi tethering is working well. I have Froyo Android (HTC Magic), and Windows XP connected at the same time.

Thank you guyz

[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Where did you get that information? Also, what are the advantages of that governor? Seems like it's based off of the interactive governor which is included in this kernel.

Just install nstools and disable. Not that hard
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
Eugene, personally, i like your kernel very much and BLN or BLD never was i problem for me. I do appreciate your work very much and all both of us have been seen how people is bring that feature down for you.

Whatever...

i just really dont think anything would pay the words you said. Its more than just a professional fail. Its a education question.
[Nexus S Android Development] eugene373:
awe I'm not bothered by it :D

Just wanted to let everyone know, it's more of "I'm Sharing the kernel I use" type of thing :)

am I mad or upset? not at all!

[Nexus S Android Development] bruno_le_bio:

I use this kernel and I think it's one of the bests...

But, if some people are unhappy, they can try others or make one by themselves.

in french : "la critique est aisée mais l’art est difficile".

It means "It is easy to find fault with something, then we would not do better yourself." (Google traduction, sorry)

Euugene, many thanks for your work
[Nexus S Android Development] (THE REAL) Neo:
I understand what you mean, but I do not understand the sense of having to install an application to disable a feature!

It makes no sense ...

I think anyone who wants BLD and BLN active, has no problem installing Nstools to activate them.

@Eugene

It 'just a nice way of thinking ...

So what sense does it read the comments of this thread, if you do not listen to the advice of people who like your kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] eugene373:
Because I want those Options on so I don't have to use NSTools..

I don't understand the sense of having to install an application to enable a feature that I want on by Default!
[Nexus S Android Development] (THE REAL) Neo:
I understand your point of view.

I would like to find a solution as I can disable both BLN and BLD, without using an application?

There is a file to be edited to enable / disable the script?
[Nexus S Android Development] eugene373:
okay... I'll Compromise on this..

I'll build 1 kernel with these feature on by default & 1 without..

That should make everyone happy no?
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
That would be awesome, thank you :D
[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
i prefer u happy :)
[Nexus S Android Development] eugene373:
in other news I think I found the reboot issue that some are having..

Just to be clear.

Stop using any older kernel out there. as I think the mount flag is what was causing these Bootloop issue's
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
You'll be the first dev to do this; I don't understand why people can't use NSTools to disable/enable BLD/BLX. It's even easier than using a script.
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
Eugene made a decision - best to respect it and move on.
[Nexus S Android Development] (THE REAL) Neo:
This is what we, here in Italy, called "UN GENIO"!

Do you know why I insist on this, Eugene?

Because I think that your kernel is unique, I have tried many, but there's only one great...yours.

I would not change it ....

If you really do the new kernel in two versions, you're great!

Totally agree...
[Nexus S Android Development] provolinoo:
My preferred settings are BLN on and BLD off :)

But the most important thing is your happiness not ours ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] IIIV:
Because, they want the dev do all the work for them. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
Totally agree, but the discussion is becoming a little bit hot :D

I think it should be better to relax and let eugene prepare the new version as he likes it. Then, we can try to kindly ask him some tweaks or improvements if he can and likes to do it.

Just keep this Thread cool men. It contains a very cool ICS Kernel :) maybe the best ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] jcarlm:
Hope I don't get laughed at for this but why does it say Speedy-3 but when I go to the download link it says Speedy-2? Am I missing something?

[Nexus S Android Development] 4tticuz:
Ive got a question:

When the phone is locked and Im receiving any type of messege, BLN blinks (nice so far) but when I unlock the phone then, my softkeys keep dark.

Anyone else with that issue? ROM ins AOPK15.

[Nexus S Android Development] 4tticuz:
Thanks for your reply.

BLD is already disabled, was one of the first things I did.

Any other idea?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] 4tticuz:
Did you change CPU speed or other voltages?

Maybe your phone cant handle it (nothing to worry about, every NS is unique )
[Nexus S Android Development] 4tticuz:
Did you use nstools?

Im using it and for me the option for max. frequ. is greyed out.

Thats why I guess your problem is caused by the profile.

Delete it, remove your tool (if it is not nstools) and reboot.

Please give feedback!

If you just want your kernel to go down below 400 Mhz on sleep, use the smartass v2 kernel. Does the same thing.

Sent from my Nexus S on Ultimate ICS ROM, ICUP Kernel and some help from Tapatalk!
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
Sorry, dont know what you mean! 1.3 is not lower than 1.2 ! Unless you're talking about the exactly clock when it freezes, so idk how to monitor that way.
[Nexus S Android Development] ArnoutVos:
He means lowering the clock speed to 1.2 GHz.

Since you're overclocking (clock speed > 1.0 GHz) you may expect reboots and freezes. When you have reboots and freezes, your device is not capable of running at that speed (1.3 GHz).

Reports about freezes are quite useless/off-topic if you don't lower the clock speed first.
[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
I mean lower to 1.2ghz and see how it goes. Could be your phone can't handle 1.3ghz. Unless you have had at least a days usage on another kernel at 1.3ghz without any problem then I'm pretty sure your phone can't handle 1.3ghz.

From http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0344k/index.html ARM, A8 has about 60% margin. Exploring 30% shouldnt be a problem. I ran it at @1300MHZ for days and days without reboot, performance governor. Now that i deleted my VBR files (which were causing reboots on powerAMP), kernel should handle this clock fine, in smartassv2, as it does in performance governor.

My device rebooted even at 1.0Ghz. (if smartassv2 is set)

Unless... we know OC is not a processor exclusive irresponsibility - it depends of other components stability. Well, i got some badblocks on my nandflash and it would be a reason too.

And its not quite off topic, since we're talking about an OC kernel.

FIOPS

Eugene, what do you think about the FIOPS scheduler?

What about including it to the kernel?

It'sdeveloper says, that it's really fast on flash devices (even faster than cfq).

[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
First of all, not all CPU's are made equal. For example, my Nexus S CPU might be able to handle 1.5ghz but your Nexus S might not be able to handle anything over 1.3ghz, someone else's Nexus S might not even be able to get over 1ghz. As for your problem, it seems smartassV2 don't want to work for you. Change back to performance or something else.

Hey there, has anyone experienced signal drops using this kernel? i'm on brainmaster's stock and sometimes when i check the phone i have no signal in a full signal area, don't know exactly when that happens...
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
Components as processor are, even the same model, may present different behaviors, specially when overclocked, due the tolerance range in the production process. That's includes good cell percentage, what give overall resistance and is the first factor that determines heat behavior.

But, even talking about the same processor, ram, and other circuit models, these components shouldnt present behaviors so different each other at all, since that tolerance margin i said is quite short.

But if we have a problem with an governor it means we have a problem with kernel, not hardware!

ARM's engineers says A8 has 60% margin - and thats all. Even if fake cells tolerance was 10% (what would never ever be, as it should goes around 2%), kernel should support 1.3 still! As i said early, i know my nandflash is a little damaged, so it may be the weak point of OC, but not proccessor.

I found this kernel doesn't keep my voodoo colour settings. I saw a tip in the general section that the voodoo plus app (£2.30 in the market) will restore the settings. Personally felt it was worth the money, and just thought I'd share this here for others with this same problem and money to burn!

[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
yep. that's eugene's recommendation. never understood why ppl think they are smarter than the devel itself. if you hack away from the recommended settings just take its risk and don't blame the kernel for it (my six pence ;))
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
True CPUs are not made equal

It all comes down to to CPU voltage some can run stable on lower voltage higher clock speed while others need to bump voltage for a stable OC
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
Totally agree.

That is not the question. Anyone here is trying to be smarter or something else, but knowledge is free for everyone, not just for this or that developer, since there isnt only one developer in the world.

Also, i am not blaming anyone. I just bring here a problem to help someone else that may has this same problem to bypass it.

[Nexus S Android Development] ArnoutVos:
People don't realize that their useless posts are actually slowing down the development of the next release.

ontopic: Yesterday I got a serious crash. I was listening shoutcast streaming music and checking Latitude friends in Google Maps (GPS on). Screen freeze. Music still playing for 1 minute. Then a reboot, which stuck in displaying the boot animation (is this a 'bootloop' ?).

Reflash kernel: bootloop

Reflash version 2 (Speedy-2): bootloop

Wiping dalvik, bootloop

Ended up in restoring a Nandroid. This worked.

Next time I will do a logcat session. Maybe it has something to do with the audio hardware, like cpaixao also had?
[Nexus S Android Development] juliano_q:
Using speedy-2 I had this problem twice not making anything related to audio, but I havent experienced it with speedy-3 so far. Yes, from the reports looks like that when It happens with speedy-3 it may be related to audio.
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Try speedy 3...eugene said that he updated the kernel for more stability with GPS.
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
I had it on Speedy-3, my boy. Also, i dont know if we'll have a answer for this one day. People out there is thinking this is "normal" or its "just your phone problem".

I am investigating it by myself still. Looking into the codes, trying to find out WHY kernel is unable to handle those process when its configured at @1300Mhz (looks like its partially stable for other process or @1.0Ghz).
[Nexus S Android Development] ArnoutVos:
I was running Speedy 3 at the moment of the freeze. And no OC or UV, everything default.

I've got my Nexus S 9020T now for more than one year and never had a real crash. Have tried several kernels.

It may also be non-kernel related, just bad luck or something like that.

But I don't understand why the phone crashed and couldn't reboot. Something must be changed in the flash memory to make this happen. Normal day to day use doesn't change the flash memory (right?).

@eugene373

since latest CM9 kangs include Crespo Parts to configure BLN, BLD, etc with stock kernel, is it possible to make your kernel compatible also with the app by cm9 team so we can change settings without the need to install an external app (NSTools)?

The scenario I like is something like that:

- if you want basic settings change (BLN, BLD, etc.) you can use Crespo part embedded in CM9

- if you are not using CM9 or you need more customization (overclocks, voltages, governors, etc.) you can install and use NSTool

This is because NSTool is full of advanced settings basic users don't need (since they mostly use default settings and change just a few options)
