Busybox - CWM Backup/ADB

Hiya,

Great kernel! I'm struggling with busybox i think using this kernel though, cwm wont let me backup just dies with an error backing up boot and adb shell dies with sh not found. I assume this is because it cant see busybox but i've removed and reinstalled using busybox installer, which says its installed fine, adb works fine when its booted and if i install abyss with redpill then i can backup fine from there...

Is this looking in a different place for the busybox commands or have i done something else wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks Franco!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jager13:
had the same issue! Could'nt back up due to "cannot backup bootimage" or something like that. Plus the lag in 3d games! wish these issues will be fixed in new version!

@franco, abysskernel can be found in 2 different versions, one with CWM rec mod and the other with RedPill rec mod (both touch versions). Please if it's not much trouble, can you also have 2 versions? (would very much like redpill with francokernel, and if it's the touch version it would be even greater :))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Dr. Narinder:
Franco kernel in two touch versions sounds gr8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
Interesting thought. Could be worth tracking.

I wonder why everyone is comparing every kernel to that bloated thing AbyssNote is :confused: Its almost an insult, comparing Franco to Abyss, at least I think so.

I read somewhere Chainfire stating that one must not do this. Due to the fact that the busybox installer puts the binaries in a wrong location (/bin instead of /sbin or so) which leads to what you describe. Since you (two?) seem to be the absolute minority, I guess you misconfigured something or took over "junk" from an earlier setup, I dont know. I'd start from scratch, meaning pull a nandroid backup of /data, wipe, reflash/re-root and then restore /data only. This way you'll surely end up with a working busybox implementation.

and further

I didnt understand all they wrote , but I also based my findings on my own testing:

At night with screen-off I listen music a lot and also to streaming radio. I set (long ago) the minimum frequency on my GNot to 500MHz , so 200MHz is not being used (not to mention 100MHz since I often switch between FM and Speedmod kernels) and the results have being great so far (battery wise)

I just have to point out that since I found the right combination of software and the right amount (for MY device and MY type of use) of bloatware removed and/or freezed, battery performance have been great on every kernel I tried (and I tried them all), during heavy use but specially on stand-by, making me being even more sure that battery performance is way more user-related or user-error related than kernel related

Q. "Advantages/Disadvantages of switching to Single Core/Dual Core modes?

Only first core (cpu0) can enter deep-idle (LPA), so using dual core mode in an idle system cause unwanted excess-power consumption.

I have been on this kernel for more than a week now and did not see any sod so far except with the very first ( or may be 2nd release) .( on darky 3.3 for almost the same time )

IF u still experience it , the issue would be some app or rom u have.

Best would be to full wipe and try reinstalling everything from start and not restoring back ups if possible.

Hi all!

Just now something very strange happened I'll describe in steps below

1. installed update for go launcher

2. got two notifications about "bad data...." Sorry but i don't remember the exact words.

3. noticed that the background data sync icon seemed more active than usual

4. noticed that gps icon where blinking more than usual.

5. "hot" reboot occurred

6. stuff didn't work as they should anywhere.

7. reboot via quickboot

8. the phone rebooted itself once more

9. "touch the android to continue" screen appeared, but the i got an email on my gmailaccount...

10. FC on every autostarting app and service.

Could this in any way be kernel related? Go launcher update seems to be what started the circus, but I've been googling for a short while now but doesn't seem to find anything regarding the issue.

I've restored user apps and system data via Titanium Backup, reboooting now... (EDIT: still getting FC on almost everything after reboot)

I'm to say the least a bit confused here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Vudy:

Asked Franko may be 3-4 time about undervolting and tegrak support. But didnot get answer. Comparing performance this kernel has good battery life (Nothing comes close to cfroot+uv+thunderbolt when battery life matters).

Tested briefly this morning and I did like it but the lack of overclock support made me revert to abyss. 3d graphics performance was lower too but for an initial release and general smoothness I was very impressed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Backup your init.d scripts somewhere, then delete then all, reboot and if you still have issues with overheat or whatever then the problem is on my kernel, if you're ok then its the init.d scripts fault, but I'm pretty sure a lot of users are running with +10 scripts, even when I flashed a rom on this it came with 10 scripts...I promptly got rid of them.

We'll see about the overclock, it's something that I don't like at all. 3D graphic performance is lower because they have Mali GPU overclocked above stock values. I have to think if I'll overclock it or not.

It's not just you, it's that way by design. The kernel dev feels that dynamic hotplug has serious issues and doesn't give the benefits it's supposed to, so both cores are online all the time when not in deep sleep.

I read the topics and I see the point. Mostly. However, and even tough screen-on time is greater on franco's, idle power seems much more heavily consumed than, say, on Abyss'. Not to mention wakelocks like facebook or maps, that drains a lot more here too. Of course, without having to turn cpu1 on and off all the time, things are much smoother.

Ah well, the bliss it is to live with the consequences of one's actions... Ok, so the kernel is quite good. BLN would be an awesome addition, tough.

TB is good, nandroid is better. Pull a nandroid of your device every once in a while for situations like this.

That may be true. But nothing comes close to Franco when smoothness matters. With added battery efficiency (at least on my and my friends device) on top. So go figure. And one single kernel is just one tick easier to manage than 3 babies as well after each time fiddling around with ROMs.

So is mine. WIFI on, GMail (plus contacts, calendar, etc...) and Exchange syncing, weather syncing (3h), Facebook syncing. Obviously not having undervolted. And again, I wonder, what do you peeps do with your devices... :confused:

Hi, The kernel is quick and stable. Thanks!

However, currently I faced a strange problem. Yesterday I unplus the device and then go to sleep and let the device idle for 6 hours. However, the battery drain from 100% to 80%. I checked with better battery status, in the kernal wakelock section, I found that the "GPS" keep running for all the idle time so the phone can't get to deep sleep. This is the first time I face this issue. How could I get some log to sort out the reason why do this happen? I can sure that I have no application and special service running using GPS, in fact I have turned off GPS. So I would like to know that is a kernel problem or an application problem. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dobygot:
So far, so good. Kernel is working great. I'm able to really push the battery life this time.

check a few pages back, I had posted about the same thing, BBS reported 4 hours of GPS kernel wakelock.

It doesn't seem like an issue with franco's kernel even though I never experienced it on cfroot. Franco believes it's some kind of bug with either a certain mystery app or rom. People using abyss kernel experience it too. I bet there's some correlation with these kernels' tweaks and a certain app we have installed, since only a few are experiencing this. Prob not worth troubleshooting since a reboot fixed it, and isn't reproducible.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] remiotte:
My 2 cents:

Yesterday i activated for the first time, in "location and security" settings, the "use wireless networks" (i always had, and still have, "use gps satellites" activated).

Yesterday i experienced for the first time that GPS kernel wakelock.

It seems to me like it's too big a coincidence. Until someone can confirm he's had that wakelock with wireless location off, i will tend to believe there's something here.

Probably Portugal.

#Tapatalk #Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] monomer888:
I tend to agree. While "location and security" settings > "use wireless networks" may be a factor causing a so-called GPS kernel wakelock, the occurrences are sporadic. In my own case, my suspicion is that it's caused by having the "use wireless networks" setting enabled and being in an area where the connected wifi network has a very weak signal on the verge of disconnecting. This particular wakelock is stubborn, but a simple reset usually gets rid of it. I found I can also knock it out of wakelock by going in and out of Google Maps (with GPS on) a couple of times.

I've seen this on the the AbyssNote kernel and cf-rooted LA3, LA4 and LA6 kernels on stock firmware, so it's probably not an issue related specifically to this kernel. As franco himself said:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dobygot:
As I've posted earlier in this thread, I have had both settings OFF (I never turn either on to minimize wakelocks and battery use) when I got that 4 hour GPS wakelock. I also never ran maps during since last reboot. Purely used it to go onto the internet and played a couple games. It's pretty obvious to first check location and security settings. Can't speak for the other guys though. :)

what's your radio firmware?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VTEChump:
LA4, what is recommended?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dobygot:
The type of usage matters. Your battery life graph very well may be right on the money. It doesn't reveal much without a cpu spy graph. Maybe you played a lot of games, maybe your screen brightness was higher than mine, etc.

Most of my time was spent web browsing and reading news feeds, a little big of online gaming (no 3d games), 10 minutes of GPS and EDGE data. Checked e-mails, handful of smses, two short calls... So even though I had high display on time, they weren't taxing on the battery.

If I had played more games, or used the camera, or gps more, then my battery life could very well look just like yours. :)

For the most part in my graph, I turned on my wifi only when I need it, and then turn it off when I'm done. Definitely was being mindful about battery drain. Not exactly convenient usage. I typically like to leave it on too, but I wanted to see how far I can push the battery without limiting productivity too much.

I am using "Dark" setting for autobrightness in Jkay mod.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VTEChump:
Thanks for the feedback.

I use my phone for web browsing and email only, never play games, never use GPS, never use camera. Not sure how much more "Dark" setting would help over using stock 10% brightness, but I'm thoroughly convinced my radio is why I can't break 3.5 hours of display time, either that or I have a bad battery.
