8.1 test 5 brakes web browsers

in details:

i split the observed effects into the thre browsers i used:

1. stock browser:

on every page i tried (computerbase.de, android-police, and some others) the page seem to load proper but i only see white. i can even scroll through the white page. klicking on the tabs icon at the top right corner shows all opened tabs in a small size. here you see the correct content of the site instead of the white when maximized.

2. firefox beta:

some site load fine others not. computerbase.de seems to fail everytime.

the effect is that firefox actually never finishes to load the site. it most of the time just hangs so a touch on the screen gives the "wanna wait or kill" message. somtimes firefox just crashes to desktop.

3. dolphin hd:

similar effects like firefox but with the difference that it is the only browser of all 3 that sometimes loads AND displays the site correctly.

final notes:

i used 9.8.6 cfs kernel

now i flashed back to test 4 but keeping 9.86 cfs kernel : all works fine again. so it is a rom issue. i attached a logcat copied with android system info - no preselction of it done, sry.

p.s. lc you read my post regarding yield setting? yield = 1 was a typo. i have it set to 0.
[Desire HD Android Development] existz:
Well, I wouldn't say twice as fast...but to he honest I haven't ran ICS other than one compiled with Linaro, so I cant say for sure. But we have been using Linaro tool chain and optimizations (plus optimizations from 0xlab) for along time now. But theres still some stuff I'm working on atm...such as pulling in all the strict aliasing fixes from Linaro, and currently testing some armv7 optimizations from Linaro (which they claim is the reason for the performance boost in the YouTube clip)... So basically we have already been running "most" of the optimizations already, but there's still some work left... But those armv7 changes do seem to give a nice boost compared to what we already have. I'll have them pushed to git once I fully test that it doesn't break anything. Then I'll also have the rest of the strict aliasing fixes pushed, along with the changes to build globally with strict-aliasing.

But other than the armv7 changes, I don't see strict aliasing making that much of a difference. The only other optimization other than that is building globally with 03, but currently it breaks due to our gpu libs. So for now 02 globally and 03 here and there (which is our current setup) is best we can do. But other than the armv7 changes, don't look for much more improvements. (Until we get 03 working). But again, the armv7 changes do give a nice boost.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
you have the same issues in aospx as "a user" reported?

i don'T think it is needed to say, but if i should test anything more in details just tell me so.

Not at my phone so I can't check the version. It is 2.0 something. Will pm you later. It is meant for phones shipped with sense 3.0.

As far as stock browser, no...loads fine for me
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:
@lord

I have reflash test5 but with fullwipe, and mms are continously sending state again. Previous flash was over test4.

I have flash new kernel 9.8.7 bfs and it's the same.

MMS apns config are ok.

Do you think with cfs kernel it will be better?
[Desire HD Android Development] ___m0d_:
Loads fine for me every time on dolphin browser HD on desktop mode. :D

Edit:also on mobile view. on all sites I've been to since flashing latest test build.
[Desire HD Android Development] aamadorj:
My device is running IceColdSandwich 8.0 with kernel 9.8.7 BFS and MMS are working fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] PXL42:
@lord i think i found problems.

1) in apns config, delete values "null" but let them undefined ""

2) name fields are required : asked by system to save apns config. Can you add this field. I don't think a particular name is required, but fields must be set.

3) with free mobile, it is needed to disable national roaming. (I think you can add this in faq in 2nd post)

Edit: maybe name field should be carrier in xml file, no ?
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
@ a user

Do not be fooled, showing it working in test 4 broken in test 5 does not tell you it's a rom issue, our at least not an issue introduced in test 5.

This issue 'white screen' had been intermittent for many of the last releases and a reboot could fix it temporarily, hence your reported test is insufficient for conclusions.
[Desire HD Android Development] Maxxy13:
Some font still seems to be messed up.

I'm running test5.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
while you are basically are right:

1. the previously reported issue with white screens are 99.9999% a rom issue and not kernel related even though it apears related to cfs. i explained once why

2. i have 3 browser with issues on test 5. only the google one has a white screen issue. read all i posted ;)

considering that until recently the browser render libs were still very buggy as we had reports of a lot of issue with browser of any kinds i am biased towards a libs issue.

EDIT: at the people reporting no issues:

- i forgot to mention that i do NOT use desktop mode.

- and as i said, not all pages cause this. i gave examples of sites causing issues. though, due to localization and what ever it need not to happen on the same sites for you (we already had this lesson ;) )
[Desire HD Android Development] existz:
Well IMO I don't think its buggy libs..etc..as LC has merged everything in regards to this from aospX, and we do not have this issue with browser. So IMO its either something missing in source or another commit is causing it.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
actually after i wrote this i looked again at the logcat and some other things and also started thinking its not the libs.

it's strange that i didn't found something in logcat regarding the crash to home of firefox beta. maybe i can try tomorrow something else., like bfs kernel (i hate bfs :P )
[Desire HD Android Development] Reinaldo33897:
Must admit test 5 with latest cfs kernel is definitely a performance difference. Fast
[Desire HD Android Development] lululala:
LC is there a way to make stock video camera @480p work in your ROM? The reason I'm asking is your ROM is noticeably faster than ParanoidROM but theirs has video@480p working and it was based of existz's ROM.... so :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] tamagotono:
No, He has intentionally kept the stock video camera from working in order to give the other ROMs a reason to exist. :D

Just kidding... He has tried for quite a while and given up. Perhaps he'll try again once the source is released after the official ICS release in July/August.

In the mean time just use 'Videocam illusion' from the play store.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
I don't know why my stock camera app won't record.

You can try using panoramskim camera.apk and also try camerahal from pandora

[Desire HD Android Development] shad0wboss:
is it only me or the battery drains quite fast, faster relative to other GB AOSP roms...
[Desire HD Android Development] Mashadar:
I've noticed this as well. But not with WIFI enabled, then it hardly consumes battery. However, as soon as i switch over to 3g or 2g networks, there is much battery drain.

Is this the current link for the latest flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] henrylar:
exchange server problem

I am happy about this rom, for one problem. When I link to my company's exchange server it seems like it accepts everything, but it then wants to encrypt the phone, which I have not seen before. I allowed that, but it hangs in that process. I can interrupt it, and nothing has happened, so no contact with the exchange server. Any ideas? Of course the link tot he server worked fine before ICS.

Here's a weird thing ..my beta from 23rd...unknown what it is..

I flashed a miui asop cam apk via recovery cans fine as before but now screen cast for the first time...sort of works

It records what I've done..so video but playback can't play it...but I can skip through it and it recorded it all

Messed up lol

Anyone know actual video recording apps?

This isn't a GB ROM, try comparing it to other ICS roms, personally havent flashed the latest beta but my understanding was that the battery life was improved from GB.
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
With the latest build no batt drain. I have 2mA-5mA sleep mode. Better than Sense.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
there is a .zip.md5sum and a 2.9 zip

what is the .md5sum all about? Is that the latest update?
[Desire HD Android Development] simmarjit:
md5sum is to check that your download is correct, as in you downloaded the correct file perfectly, each rom has its own md5 so you check it with the one given, but you flash the 2.9 zip...the md5 checking think is suggested so that you dont get bad flashes or any problems, but certainly not compulsory :D

Ok, some update to my browser issue....

i came too late to work because of doing full wipe and testing (it fu... annoys me!!!).

so, after full wipe i tested browsers again:

1. all browser do fine if i enter "computerbase.de" and continue to work fine when clicking on a news in the news list.

2. actually the issue appeared previously using a news widget. when i clicked on a news in it it asks me for a browser to go to the specified url (of the news i clicked). it was one of the news from computerbase.de (actually all i tested caused issues).

now the odd things:

after the full wipe the stock browser and dolphin hd work fine, no matter if i manually input the url or it get called via my news widget (scrollable news widget btw.). but newest firefox beta still fails:

clicking on the news in the widget

selecting firefox

firefox starts to load (endless), the wait circle rotates

firefox either freezes (rarly) or just loads and loads and loads

now if i click on the tabs button or in the url field firefox freezes (wait or kill message). more specific:

if clicking on the url it becomes editable, the keyboard pops up and then its frozen.

now this issue can be 100% reproduced everytime, independent of the used kernel but ONLY on 8.1 test 5.

i'm quite clueless now.

p.s. yes i tried wiping firefox data etc.

p.p.s. damn, firefox become my favourite browser meanwhile :(
[Desire HD Android Development] killersloth:
do the browsers hang up like that on wifi and data also?

wifi seems kinda flakey
[Desire HD Android Development] geejay008:
lol! if you were radio s-off already... you really didn't need to run 'hack it' tbh...

...there should have been a separate option to replace the bootloader only... =_=

yes. no matter if wlan or mobile.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

ok. now firefox beta fails even when manually entering "computerbase.de".

but stock browser and dolphon hd continue working fine.

i really wonder what changed in test 5 to cause this strange issue.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

ok, after this full wipe i am missing all my custom ring tones and notification sounds (the ones from sdcard). none of them is shown anymore.

was the support for the folders on sd card removed?
[Desire HD Android Development] smanthrav:
Excellent work, lord. thanks a lot! Went from 7.4 to the latest test version and it runs well for me. I was wondering, though... would it be possible to have the option CM7 had of having an incoming call in the background(in the notification area), instead of popping up and refusing to go away?

And also will the mod posted for 8.0 to make the search button act as the "recent apps" button work with test 5?

Great performance. Using latest BFS kernel with

Over 21 hours of use with 51% still remaining

Wifi, data, Whatsapp, Line, SMS, and phone calls throughout the day

Looks like you've created a Super ROM. Beautiful job mate and dev's
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1460820

i assume i have to full wipe before flashing this... right? will do a nandorind backup and flash this later, when at home.

but i'll try the most recent bfs kernel first and report back in a couple of minutes.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Tried 9.8.7 BFS and same issue (Firefox Beta fails the same way as described in the previous post).
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
OK... I'll upload a new test rom as soon I manage it..

thanks for testing!
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
wait 40 mins

8.1.AOKP-test6 - 13-06-2012

updated kernel to 9.8.7 BFS

- compiled with newest Linaro 4.7 2012-05 toolchain

- updates to kgsl driver

- some other small patches

CFS tweaked again to try to fix CFS blank screen issues in some apps

optimized bootanimation - by anjini

more Linaro optimizations all over - implemented by existz

compact list view mode for Contacts - AOKP

completly reworked Quiet hours so I can merge AOKP settings - I hope I haven't broke it

added Phone ringtone better support for quiet hours - AOKP

added bluewall firewall - mutes notification sounds for an application for <X> seconds after playing - AOKP

edit:

to explain Bluewall:

for example if you're chatting on talk and have notification sound for every message.. you can for example mute for 10 sec, so every notification for Talk.apk gets muted after first ring for 10 sec.. you get the point??

edit2:

no time today to work on that promised cfs kernel... sorry
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
LC,

shall i wait testing the aosxp rom from the inspire forum until i tried your new test 6?

and just a guess from you, flashing test 6 over test 5 (which had a full wipe) should be fine?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Looking forward to the new test. I am sure the results will be as good as I just reported. These are the best results since flashing the first version.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
no problem

I have all of his patches..

also I had a report from one user that he has no issues with firefox and that webpage....
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
you noted that i usually do not have issues with firefox if i manually enter the url but i have it if the url was dispatched to firefox via an intent?

actually to be more presize:

it works if i enter the url with the keyboard

it fails if it gets forwared by a my scrolalble news widget. (reproducable 100% of the time)

it fails if i click on it in firefox history list.

anyhow, will see how test 6 plays out ;)

p.s. i know i always find the oddiest bugs. funny is that in my new job i was dispatched the last 3 weeks into a testing time (not my usualy bussiness but its for introduction and because they needed desperatly more testers).

and guess what? i am now famous here for finding the strangiest bugs ever :D

i think i have bad luck glued to my fingers :(

One "bug" i keep running into is using airplane mode using the toggle in the drop down. I work in low signal level area so I go in and out of airplane mode many times a day (maybe 20 or so). Maybe 4 or 5 times a day when using the toggle it opens and leaves open this window.

not a huge deal but I assume it is a bug.

@LC and @auser

Theres probably no reason to try aospX just yet, I havent put a release out yet with any of the latest changes, so its not going to be a fair test. As for firefox, im not sure if its due to the WebGL addition, but if you can send me a logcat I can look into it. But the latest version up on XDA does not have any of the newer fixes yet (waiting to release once I get all of the strict aliasing fixes done)
