[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] slim_thumb:
I actually went back to this kernel for a short time. At first I thought I was running out of RAM therefore I was messing with minfree, RAM cleaner etc. The second time I installed the kernel I wiped system & Dalvik cache and system data beforehand. I also did not use any minfree manager to change the clean values.

What I discovered was that, if I change the I/O scheduler from "cfq" to "noop", it greatly reduced the frequency of random freezes. I use CPU Master to make this change but other apps such as SetCPU also works.

From what I understand, "cfq" is better suited for multitasking (multiple apps / tasks running), and it is also better for magnetic hard drives of desktop computers which requires mechanical seeking. "noop" is supposed to be better for flash memory such as that used in tablets, and it is better for few concurrent running tasks (2 or fewer?).

I tend to use only one main task (eg. web browsing, games, skype) at one time, and I do not have any specific apps or widgets running in the background that hog memory (OK, only he one I know of, I cannot guarantee no background system apps / services). Therefore it seems "noop" greatly improved performance and reduced random freezes for me. If you run a lot of widgets or apps that automatically do a lot of things behind your back, that may create a lot of "tasks" and "noop" may not work as well for you.

In the end I still suffer from less frequent freezes, so I reverted back to stock again.

The 5.0 doesn't have an mtd. But the 4.0 uses a bml/stl filesystem, so you have to convert to mtd for cm7/cm9. That's why the 5.0 already has ics and the 4.0 doesn't yet. Tdmcode had to first do a heck of a hackjob to get all mtd on his cm7 build.

Cannot reproduce.

Hmm. I'm positive there's an FSR (stl/bml) module included and the damn thing won't boot if it isn't present...

hmm need to test this again...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Hey,

Great kernel.

I do have two questions:

1) How would I go about pushing the Dialer service to the background? Since the SGP5.0 isn't a phone, I can't imagine that it'd have any adverse effects. (Skype or VOIPs?) [And this could be a ROM question. I'm not sure. I've flashed Eryigit's ROM based on the chinese stock.]

1a) On a related note, would this be the reason why I keep on seeing "Cell Standby" as the main power consumer (72% average) in "Battery" (or something) under Settings? I imagine that this value is worthless. Like, would it affect that battery metrics?

2)The power profile xml from the framework-res.apk seems a bit off. (Battery capacity is reported at 1500 mAh) I'm working on checking/changing values by cross-checking with Powertutor. How much does the battery display depend on the power profile? Or is that ONLY for the "Battery Use" under settings? I suppose my question is- does the power_profile effect the battery readings (eg the battery indicator on the notification bar or like another app)

===

To the poster, like 4 posts back, I imagine that init.d is supported. The dev has referred to init.d scripts in the context of either this or a related kernel. Hence. You'll probably have to set up the folder though.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
None of the above are kernel issues, belongs in a different thread (and yeah I know I got a bit off-topic with ICS myself.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] John_2k2:
I still get random freezes with this kernel though
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Are you using stock or a custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] John_2k2:
Custom, though i cant really pin point why
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Donskjr:
Thank you so much! That really did help a lot with the freeze ups. Still froze up but not as long and not as frequent, was still bad tho. I went back to stock also and I love my player again. The speed was back and the long freezes where gone. Thank god! The freeze ups where so awful on my device with this kernel. I just want clockwork mod. Does anyone know if I can get it without a messed up modified kernel? Stock kernel works awesome, compared to this one. Just wish I could have a recovery. Probably isn't possible lol. I'm just happy to get this kernel off my device!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dstarfire:
heimdall gui

If I wanted to flash this through the heimdall frontend (cause I'm a wuss and prefer gui's whenever possible), do I need to add flash it as/to the kernel AND recovery mode?

Incidentally, here's a handy video for the folks that don't understand heimdall. They're using the old UI, but the basics are the same. Now, you just have to click add after you choose the file for a partition.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I just found one small bug, which might explain why this is fine on most devices but not all:

Can you try installing SetCPU and setting the limit to 1 GHz? I made a mistake when implementing OC, that defaults to allowing 1.2 GHz (because this is the stock limit on every other device I own.)

The other option - Test the 3/3 release instead of 3/5 which has no OC.

I'll work on getting out a release with that minor clocking bug fixed.

Beyond that, if you're still having issues after disabling OC, the only thing I can think of is that you're having issues with RFS. Considering one of the primary features of this kernel is the ability to ditch RFS because it is utter and complete **** performance-wise (random freezes due to I/O issues are a common complaint with RFS...), people who choose to remain on RFS and have oddball issues are unsupported.

Again, I cannot reproduce any of the issues you are complaining about, which leads me to believe it's either that small OC bug or it's RFS. With normal clocks and ext4, everything is fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
With ext4 (reported by mount) and SetCPU, I still have freezes, but the problem seems slightly lessened. However I wouldn't be surprised if SetCPU was just not fully disabling OC.

EDIT: :( flashing 3/3 doesn't fix it either.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Is there any chance you might be able to release your kernel with swap support?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
No. Swap makes no sense on Android devices, especially ones with as much RAM as most modern Gingerbread devices. I won't release useless stuff like that even when I get my Player operational again.

It's currently hardbricked, I was doing a very dangerous experiment in trying to prep it for demoing Unbrickable Mod to someone, but managed to put it in one of the states where it just won't boot unless you can change the xOM resistors... which of course I need to find on our device now.

It turns out this device is REALLY hard to do xOM tweaking on, because the CPU is on the underside of the board when the device is assembled enough to operate.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Understood, but I hardly think 384mb of ram qualifies as a lot. I don't see what harm including support for swap could do, especially since RJ's kernel for the international version supports it. Your kernel is the only option for the USA users. I'm not asking you to include it and enable it by default, but I don't think having the option there for those of us that want to use it is that big of a deal though.

Sorry to hear about your player, I've never bricked my player that seriously but that sounds like the pain in the ass of a lifetime. Good luck with it!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Sorry about you brick device but swap is not uselles,I use it with R14 kernel on internaltional version and it is huge diference on SGP 5.0 ..there is no way I would back with out it..with out swap you basicly don't have multitasking at all because system always kill other program because of low memory and memory hyngry game can lag because system kils background process for same reason and they try 2 start again and so on.I now that many devices have a lot of ram memory but ram memory is SGP weakest point and swap exapander is far the best solution for that if you ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] UnsignedZero:
Thanks for everything Entropy512. Installed the Kernel and had no problems on my SGP5 US Version.

I would like to access irc from the wTerm app(terminal emulator), but I can't figure it out. Would anyone here happen to know how? In PreWare, I see in the apps pictures that it can do it, I just don't know how. TIA.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daentech:
What do you mean by access? Could you not use something like wIRC? I think it's free in preware.

as far as I know, there isn't a commandline irc app on the touchpad, but you could SSH to a server running IRSSI. I haven't seen how well that works, and I would imagine changing channels would be a pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
After checking couple of forums, I realized that this is a general bug for Android. Many people complain about it but it seems nobody could find an exact solution. I will try to explain the problem to be more precise.

Even though "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is checked as "Always", when the phone goes to sleep it doesn't connect to internet.

Wifi signal shows it is connected but it is not. I have to disable/enable wifi in order to make it work.

You can see many posts regarding to this issue. It looks like people acquiesced the problem since nobody found an exact problem.

Is there any solution that you could find?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
I have GSM Nexus also.

I bought it 3 days ago. I noticed it right after I powered it on. I had similar issue with my HTC Desire.

Now I installed a ROM to try it and still no luck. I started to think that problem is because of modem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
This happens to me. I picked up some gameloft games in the 99 cent sale and downloading 800mb over wifi is impossible. The screen turns off and the download fails.

I found I have to set the screen to stay on when on USB, plug it into a wall, and download.

I've been on several roms. I haven't started experimenting with kernels but thats the fix I think in this case. Even CM roms do this. Hopefully it isn't hard coded into the hardware.

You could set your screen sleep policy to wait 30minutes to turn off. Surely wouldn't take longer than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
+1...downloading game loft games is not possible. The game only downloads on wifi but the download stops after the screen goes to sleep.

Edit: Just tried downloading 300mb of game loft game data and it works even when screen is off. Im on AOKP BUILD 17, I definitely had this problem on stock 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
I had the same problem with my stock rom. I still have problem. I didn't try any other rom until now. I think I should give a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kratt:
I am my second Galaxy Nexus due to other issues. The first one did not have this wifi sleep issue, but my current GN does ( I installed a VOIP app on the second that was not on the first... not sure if this has anything to do with the wifi sleep issue). I think I may have found a work around. I changed the setting to never and tested a few times. Then I changed it to always again and now wifi remains on while the phone sleeps. I have tested it a few times and so far it is still working. I will update the post if the problem reoccurs.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:

Despite I disabled the DATA ROAMING from settings, my Droid Razr still makes some small data connections (15 kb circa) while it's in roaming service.

Anyone noticed the same problem?

My provider is H3G.

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomoooo:
Have not noticed that. And I am in roaming 3/4 of all time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antos79:
It's difficult to notice that looking at the telephone display. Actually the telephone blocks the data connection during the roaming service, but sometimes it connects for few seconds to download few kb (circa 15). You can notice that looking your telephone traffic detail. Every months I'm paying some extra "Internet other operators" charges for this reason!!!

Be careful and check your telephone traffic detail!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antos79:
I remember that an Acer Liquid owner some time ago claimed in a forum a similar problem.

Acer customer care told him that the problem was related to the A-gps that periodically downloads the ephemeris (few kb even if in roaming). I don't know if it's the same for the droid razr.

Anyway I can't find how to disable the A-gps functionality...
[General Questions and Answers] rageagainsttx:
I ran across a refurbished Verizon Wireless mobile hotspot modem device on one of the deal sites i go to and figured i could buy it for my girlfriend to use on trips. Would she have to connect the modem to her Verizon Wireless account and pay extra fees to use it? Or since i bought it from a site (not Verizon) would she just be able to use it for free? I dont really know much about how these modems work :/

Also, i recently rooted her Thunderbolt so would the fact that it is rooted give her free hotspot? I know she had it on her phone before i rooted it and was given a free month trial of it but she would have had to pay if she wanted to continue using it. She is running InfectedRom and dont think it has a hotspot app included.

Thanks a ton for the help!

Hi,

ive connected my HTC Touch HD via Cable with my Macbook Pro.

But i can't see the winmo files only the storage medium (micro sd card)

How can i locate the winmo files or how can i see all files from root?

What i exactly wanna do:

I want to change the icons and styling of the Home Screen and the icons and gradient colour of the taskbar from TF3D.

Could you give me some information how to obtain my results as i wish.

Sorry for my bad english.

I hope i could describe it understandable.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
when you connect your device, you should (by default) be presented with 3 choices:

activesync, mass storage and internet connection sharing (don't quote me on that, it has been a while, since i had my Blackstone). when in mass storage mode, you can only access certain files, which seems to be your current connection status.

the correct connection type would be active sync, but i really can't tell, whether it will work on mac though. you can always try through bootcamp / windows.

if you want to replace graphic files, you could also just copy them to your sd card and then copy them into your windows folder using winmo's file explorer.
[Touch HD General] kwbr:
For changing icons in wm6.1 you need a resource editor. For changing TF3D you will need a manila editor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylan1232:
Hey guys, I've had my S2 for about a month and decided to root it using Chain fire's post. I have the Telstra firmware(just incase), stock kernel and CF-root kernel, after rooting I flashed the stock kernel to remove the warning triangle, I still had root access and then tried using CWM zImage via the app... my phone rebooted into recovery mode but says:

-- copying media files...

Successfully copied meida files

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Updating application..

successfull...--Applying Multi-CSC...

Installing " "

Can't access to '/system/csc/TEL/sytem/

Successfully applied multi-CSC

then finally the normal(not clockworkmod from root) android recover options appear.

Does anyone know of a different root to CF-Root where I can use a stock kernel that doesn't hijack the recovery options?.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Recovery is part of the kernel, so all kernels will overwrite the recovery when you flash them.

Follow the guide in the cf-root thread to the letter to get CWM and remove the yellow triangle, or buy a USB jig and use it to reset counter and remove the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylan1232:
I did exactly as the guide says, recovery now only works if I don't use a stock kernel.

I went into download mode, opened odin making sure repartition isn't checked, loaded CF-root-KF4.tar, got root access, the phone rebooted i made sure it was rooted and checked out CWM recovery then went into download mode again and flashed the stock kernel from Intratech's Telstra Carrier branded firmwares Thread and root was fine so I checked CWM recovery and it was gone, I then extracted zImage from the CFroot I flashed and placed on the phone /sdcard I ran CWManager clciked flash kernel>Zimage and it rebooted into the normal recovery mode with CSC crap there still.

How is there not a root program that doesn't

modify

(doesn't change features) recovery mode? I'd like to update by KIES in future and need to keep the stock kernel I believe.

Zergrush

Superoneclickroot

You *need* a custom kernel in order to have CWM recovery on the SGS2, if you just want root, you can flash a root kernel, then flash your stock kernel.

You will LOSE CWM but KEEP root.

Also CF-root is a stock kernel, just with a modified initramfs (added root and CWM recovery)
