I'm fairly sure the Dynamic Hotplug is the cause for many problems. Last week I tried to build a custom Dynamic Hotplug (turn off cpu1 during low loads) for the Galaxy Nexus and 50% of my users had SoD's as well. Hotpluging is VERY costy for the devices because of all the context changes, and as far as I know it's worse for the battery than it should. I'm now running with #2 of this kernel with dynamic hotplug disabled to see how it works out, but my dmesg spam doesn't happen anymore. Will keep you guys posted ;)

Hi Franciscofranco and welcome abroad:-) today, aftear a clean installation of Checkrom v5, I have flashed your kernel (delete all init.d script with root explorer) but I've faced a lot of sod. Like 20 since 12 o ****.

What do I need to send you a report?

Tested it for one day. Battery drain seems very fast. Also I notice I no longer see 1600mhz and 100mhz from cpu spy and SetCPU. For OC, the max I can see its up to 1400.

Also Quadrant score is over 5000, but for some reason Antutu is lower than I thought, it shows only 6130. My previous one shows 6800. (Current ran 7529)

I restored my previous rom for now. This is what I have DarkyROM V3.2 ICED with 3.7 Kernal. Just to save more battery, I have disabled "Dormancy". It works amazingly.

but thank you to your help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] [David]:
yeah but I read of people who got that one with CheckRom...maybe it's not kernel faults ;)

Is it that version with softkey? Anyway listen, just buy an unbrick usb from ebay (about 2£)...and you're alive. You gotta don't worry you'll revive your device

Menu and back keys stopping working?

hi,

not sure if this is caused by the kernel (#8) or not, I just installed it recently and started to have this symptom. I don't remember having it before. Anyways, at some point the menu and the back keys just stopped working. No haptic feedback as well. The home key still worked. S-pen gestures also worked.

After a reboot it was all good again.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] [David]:

Francisco, your v8 runs very fine here, best battery life of all your previous versions, as i could test til now. thanks alot! I've noticed that v8 is still on 2.6.35.7 base, and not 2.6.35.14. Has this a special reason?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] electricsoldier:
Hi all, finally got my 10 posts so I can give my feedback! Thanks Franco for literally doubling my battery life! I'm using RocketRom v22, and I've been trying out your Kernels. So far I have to say that I personally get the best results with v4. Every subsequent version gave me a few minor issues. v6,7 and 8 gave me the occasional SOD (7 not so much), but more importantly, I didn't find the battery life as good. Anyway, running v4 I have no problems whatsoever, and with fairly heavy use, I have 34% battery left, and I unplugged it yesterday morning. I have WIFI on the whole time I'm at work, I use XDA app, some games (only on the bus), I read the news, and I sketch. This phone was already awesome, but this kernel is like the icing on a cupcake. Thank you!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DV1510:
What kind of data hanging? Is it during website loading?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] theory_87:
U can see in the status bar, the indicator is stating there in an out data transmission. However, even after 5min wait, the phone just can't receive or load any data be it facebook, twitter, web...

I think it a combination of poor network and #8. Changing modem version doesn't help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] [David]:

The thing just rebooted twice. No last_kmsg file can be found.

I really do not know how these reboots, SOD-s etc. can be related to anything else than the kernel.

I'm on stock LA6 fw and have had many reboots with any Franco kernel (and any stock fw + Franco kernel).

As soon as I put CF-Root kernel, all those problems disappear. Also stock kernel is 100% stable just not as smooth as Franco ofc.

Right now I think I'll just have to stay on CF-Root :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
I have these data drops since months. It started in about August when I still was on my DesireZ. But for me its somehing with the network I'm sure, as my GF, my sister, a good friend and his brother suffer the same on the same network.

All is looking good, data indicator working and flashing, but no data flowing. Google Talk dis/reconnecting all the time, apps timing out, pages not loading, the lot. But as I said, I suffer from this since months. For me at least, it cannot be related to #8.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
Hey franco, I have a question. A couple days ago the topic of those WLAN wakelocks was treated in this thread. I didnt have them, I could be in office, outside disconnected or at home and connected, WIFI always on, connected or not. Batterylife was quite stellar. Interestingly, I'm "suffering" them now after I up- and downgraded through your kernels yesterday in search of your best release until now. I changed nothing, except your kernels and cache and dalvik cache wipes after each flash. Today my Note chewed itself through a whole battery without being really used in only about 12h. I check BBS and it did report that wifi rx something wakelock. Now the actual question: since before my device did not wakelock because of WIFI but now does, could that wakelock somehow be cured by setting ones configuration in a specific way? What do you think? I'd like to get rid of it again, understandably :p

#Tapatalk #Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gaddy888:
I've also had this issue of crazy wakelocks, on wifi, only on my office router.

Another problem I've had is random reboots. Though just twice. Over a period of two days.

Could be an app. No way of knowing right now. I'm on kernel #8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] two_handed:
Confirmed wlan rx wakelock, being on #7 for about two weeks from now. Occurred yesterday for the first time, draining ten percent in about one hour. i didn't change anything in my setup for the last seven days.

The Wakelock is the first "issue" i stumbled upon, it occurred only once though.

Otherwise, my favorite kernel!

I am on stock Rom (rooted) Stock Kernel, can I install this one on CWM App, since my recovery is just Android recovery not CWM recovery.

Thanks for advice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
You can install the CWM app, but it wont serve you anything without the CWM recovery. Hence the name. Why you ask this in here? this is francos and not Chainfires thread.

WLAN RX WAKE

Nailed this b****! Well I didnt change my phones config but I did change my routers config! I did son googleing and it appears, multicast/IGMP traffic keeps the phone awake for some weird reason. Turn the IGMP filter in your router (where available) and the phone will sleep again!

On Netgear routers the option is called "Disable IGMP proxying" and you'll find it under WAN Setup. D-Links have a similar setting, but you can also change the beacon interval period and such, I didnt dig into it. But disabeling filtering IGMP on the main router fixed my problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Framedtrash:
im running the latest vesrion of Checkrom

and i dont no why but any version of this kernel i flash i have issues

if i put the phone to sleep it goes into the sleep of death

have tried v4,5,8 and they all do they same thing

have removed setcpu and it does the same thing :(

any ideas ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PLEEZEFRAGME:
For me usually the Sleep of Death is not realy a Sleep of Death, its more a slow wake up.

Never had a SoD, i guess you all think its SoD because sometimes the Phone takes 5 to 10 seconds to wake up and show something on the screen. But as we all are impatient to do something with the phone you press the powerbutton a second time but this time you shut the screen off again and you think its SoD because of the non shown picture on your screen.

Sorry my English is not the best but to make things short.

If you think you have SoD wait about 10seconds to push the Power button again! You should see that the screen just needs some time to wake up. From Deep Sleep to 1400mhz its kind of a jump^^

hope its realy that way...well atleast for me it is^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] rgreat:
For me Kernel+SetCpu = problems.

And just removing SetCpu does not help.

I restore stock rom from backup with CWM and then reflash kernel to fix it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AhmadOkda:
That js exactly what happens with me. No SoD at all. Just very slow wakeup

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zstef:
No. It definitely is not a slow wakeup, it's an SoD and even an automatic reboot.

In my case at least, those two seem to be somehow connected... a reboot follows an SoD after a couple of minutes.

And again, no SoDs/reboots with CF-Root or stock kernel.

Unfortunately it's very hard to reproduce even though it happens frequently.

I believe he meant us to go out. He for sure will go out whenever he likes to do so and most likely wont report it in here.

I wish I had any serious issue to debug and report, but its just working very smoothly. I do feel bad for the ones having major issues like the pixelated white screen for example though. I wonder what Samsung did to the hardware to provoke that behavior. It must be a hardware revision issue, since ppl also complain about it when flashing older stock builds with Odin for later rooting purposes.
