Have to candidly say +1 here, except I've been running motley's builds for roughly 240 hours on AOKP b38, zram enabled, and 1.6 OCing, having random reboots doing just this; posting on rootz and the far and few in between lock ups on the stock browser and once, I think, trying to sort out tasker profile logic...smooth sailing and crisp processing for the remaining 239 hours of "Prime Time" performance...lol "Prime Time" is what I call my prime for non believers, and curious onlookers. Thank you motley.

I'd be more than happy to run it again to provide some sort of log, if that's even possible or useful.

Gonna run stock kernel and cfq mod for a bit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] master1988:
Should I get a Logcat file for you? Maybe it help to determine what is going on/wrong?!

But don't know when to fetch for it? Direct when my prime is crashing or when the prime reboots?

Thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jiffy1080:
Have you tested putting SIO as an IO scheduler in your kernel? Personally I use it exclusively on my phone as it seems to give a more fluid (non-benchmark) type performance.

-My build.prop thinks I'm a GT-I9300 but alas this is still my OG Epic 4G with CM9
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] master1988:
I'm back on stock an now on 1,6Ghz without any problem?! Tell me of you have some time to look into it or you have an idea to solve this issue...

Black screen of death for me this morning too on AOKP 38 - tab was just on charge.

Wasn't even abusing things on the overclocking front - was at 1.6.

Meanwhile, am I being dim, or is the non-alpha for AOKP nowhere to be found? Doesn't seem to be in the OP or the magic post 803.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
3.0.5 alpha released

Post 803 updated with alpha 3.0.5 CWM zips for most configurations

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27014792&postcount=803

Sorry for your troubles trying to get an OC over 1.6. I haven't changed anything with frequency/voltage in the 3.0.x alphas, so I am not sure what the problem could be on your setup.

I have added in this version since many were asking for it. CFQ is still the default, but SIO can easily be toggled on now without the use of a module if you like it better than CFQ.

Hi saturn, I tried the benchmark last night on 3.0.5 and didn't have any issues with you precompiled bonnie++ binary. I saw you post some results in another thread, so it looks like you were able to run it all the way through eventually?

Hi Loccy, I am not seeing any SODs on the stock ROM in the past 3 days of testing with 3.0.5, but I can't say if it is really fixed or not.

You can try the latest alpha in magic post 803, or you can use this attached anykernel install zip for v2.6.11 View attachment z_motley_tfp_2.6.11_stock.zip(32 GB stock or AOKP primes only)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
Nice...so to be clear...sorry, just been having trouble with your builds lately...flash aokp b38 to return to stock, flash your kernel, mod cpu_overclock script with code posted, mod zram using SM...and settled, right?

SUPER EXCITED TO GET THIS WORKING FOR ME.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
If you are already on AOKP and everything is working, I recommend using "Generic Anykernel for stock and AOKP (won't touch your ramdisk or init.d scripts)" for v3.0.5 if you have a 32GB prime.

If you have a 64GB prime, just flash "AOKP build 38 with full ramdisk and 1.7 init.d OC script" for 3.0.5. Then just edit the OC script if you don't want 1.7GHz. If you have a ZRAM script, it won't be modified unless you put the ZRAM script in the cpu_overclock script too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
flashed .5, will report any issues.

feels smooth so far...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
Thanks motley....so far so good...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Running aokp. How do i change the scheduler? I want to try out "simple". Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bastaerd:
In your favorite terminal app:

su
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
echo "scheduler-of-choice" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Thanks Bastaerd.

newellj79, this can also easily be changed using apps. One I have been using that I like for testing and monitoring is called System Tuner (free from the play store). Under "SD", you can set the IO scheduler and change the "Cache Size". You can also have these persist on boot if you like the tweaked settings better than the defaults. I'm still on the fence, I think both are good i/o schedulers. CFQ at 2048 seems to consistently give me the best performance for i/o tests, but I know there are some that want to try SIO as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] it2swbrown:
Wanted to add that antutu cpu master does a great job at changing this also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Loccy:
Well I switched back to AOKP with the stock kernel, and woke up this morning to a black screen of death, so it may well be nothing to do with your kernel. I think I'll try your non alpha for a bit and see how that goes. Bit reluctant to go back to stock, much prefer the clean lines of AOKP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Loccy:
Change of plan. Sod it. 3.0.5 installed :D I figured that given that I got a sleep of death on a stock kernel on AOKP, I might as well try your new one before reverting back to a stock-based ROM!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
FYI: Have had SOD's all the time when running unlocked. Have less of them now when running AOKP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
Just flashed motley_stock_full_kernel_and_ramdisk_3.0.5.zip to Androwook 1.35 and all seems fine so far. Running smooth and I can confirm that I still have access to Prime from my Win7 x64 laptop via USB. Thanks Motley!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Loccy:
Assume you mean "stock" rather than "unlocked". I had SODs on Virtuous, which is probably 95% stock, but I put it down to the tweaks in the ROM plus the fact I was running a custom build.prop. Potentially these might well have happened if I'd stayed on pure stock...? *shrugs*

_Motley: I flashed Generic Anykernel (build #152) over CyanogenMod 9 today. Just wanted to report that after a few hours of use, I have not ran into any problems, and I am very impressed!

Thanks so much for building such an impressive kernel, and thanks for making it so user-friendly (easy to pick out which build was the right one for my ROM, and flashable zip!). I remember a long time ago when you first posted motley kernel, installation was confusing and intimidating if you weren't on stock based roms (to noobs like me, anyway), so I really appreciate how easy you made it :victory:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] notoriouspk:
Thanks motley ...... androwook 1.35 videos Netflix/YouTube crashes tested on aokp 38 same 3.04 beta was more stable there were no crashes while running videos etc.hope u can look into it ...must say this kernel makes prime a lot smoother thanks motley .

Can confirm same experience(64gig Prime).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Hi everyone, I have some major merges in place and under testing for alpha 3.0.6. It includes a crap load of MMC driver backports from the Nvidia 3.1 kernel that will hopefully help with IO performance. For those that have studied the OneX and Acer A700 kernels, this update will put us very close if not ahead of thier MMC driver setup. I hope to release the next alpha here soon, but will likely have a couple other folks try it out before I do.

I'll try to answer the questions that seem important to all, let me know if you have something important that I missed. Thanks for all the feedback:good:

P.S. I know the alpha tag is confusing for some. My goal is to continue doing several sprints with a handful of changes in each and we can all verify the results along the way (at least those that are willing!) and then I can consolidate the feedback and adjust as necessary. I try my best to thoroughly test the changes before I post them.

Hi Moe, Its hard for me to create installs for the 64GB tabs on all the roms, especially the ones with nightlies since we believe that the AnyKernel method doesn't work right on 64GB tabs (see my reply to boynamedstacy below). Each time they change the ramdisk, my package becomes obsolete:(. When I get some free time, I will see what I can do to at least get you going as EOS is a nice ROM. I would be happy to teach others on how to extract/package the boot.blob. Then. if we could get one knowledgable person for each ROM to build/verify that would really be helpful. At some point, maybe I can create a script that does it all for me after a build, but I would still have to obtain the boot.blob fresh for each rom build. And even then, I probably wouldn't want to use the boot.blob from the nightly build.

Hey boynamedstacy, you would want to use the 3.0.5 zip "AOKP build 38 with full ramdisk and 1.7 init.d OC script". I popped over to Jermaine's thread and he hasn't changed his device tree, so you should be fine on AOKP build 39 as well.

Also, just wondering, do you know anyone with a 64GB tab ever have success with the AnyKernel installs? When jermaine worked with you on it, we found that unpackbootimg was failing and we suspected it may be a 64GB issue but we weren't certain. Then I saw it again on a 64GB tab, at least it sounded like he flashed and it didn't install. I have pinged koush (father of AnyKernel) on github about some recent changes to see if he has any ideas and whether they may help with our issue. Either way, we might want to try again with the lastest unpackbootimg build to see if it works any better.

Thanks Komodo, appreciate it! I'll have to give CM9 a whirl again here soon, I hear its getting quite good.

Yes, these are mysterious issues indeed. I have seen them on my kernel as well as the stock kernel and on several roms, including stock. Sometimes I go through periods where I rarely see a problem and then bam I have several issues in one short period. Since my kernel was based on stock source, these gremlins still live within. I'll do my best to keep working to make it better and will also merge in the stock fixes as Asus provides them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Hey Motley, great update... looking forward to the new MMC fixes in 3.0.6. If you need a "ROM Owner" for AOKP on TFP hit me up, already got the build env for it, but I haven't done kernel compiling( well not for android anyways ) before. I have the 32gb version, but would be willing to go through steps to learn to compile the 64 version for each release. PM me if you want, I'll need a bit of help in what to do.

Thanks again for your efforts! Really enjoying what you're doing here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stephen44:
First Of Motley - thanks for all the great work.

As you know Mr Wookie has stopped dev on his rom - for reasons I totally respect.

First off I have a 64GB Tab - and I know we have some problems with this.

How would you suggest adding you 3.06 beta to Mr Wookies final build ?

What order would you do things ?

Thanks for taking time to answer this - I'm sure lots of "Wookie" fans will want to continue dev using your updates
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Awesome, thanks. Looks like you are doing a great job helping Jermaine out!

The good news is that you don't have to re-compile. Two things would trigger the need to create a boot.blob, and new kernel or an AOKP where the ramdisk changes (aka initramfs).

Essentially, here is what you would need to do for AOKP:

1) Unpack the the latest boob.blob that comes with the ROM

$ ./blobunpack boot.blob

2) Rename the boot.blob.LNX to boot.img

3) Extract boot.img into kernel (zImage) and ramdisk (I often use Android Kitchen, but this can be done at the command line as well). I would automate using a shell script.

4) Replace unpacked zImage with my latest zImage. You can grab zImage from the AnyKernel stock/AOKP CWM zip that I provide for 32GB primes. Or, you can grab it from my boot.blob for stock primes, but that is extra work.

5) Build the boot.img (now contains my zImage with ROM's ramdisk)

6) Repack the boot.img into boot.blob

$ ./blobpack -s boot.blob LNX boot.img

7) Take my stock "Stock ROM with ramdisk" CWM zip and extract it to a folder.

8) In the extracted folder, replace the boot.blob with your newly created boot.blob output in step 6.

9) In the extracted folder, replace the two broadcom kernel modules in /system/lib/modules with my current modules.

10) Rezip the extracted folder

11) Flash in CWM!

Yes, I was sorry to read that about Ed. It definitely takes some balance, and family is so much more important. Like Jermaine151 always says, "Android is one hell of a drug!".

The news for you is even better than for custom ROMs. I always update the stock ramdisk using the latest stock ROM, so there isn't much to do really. I also add init.d and unsecure the ramdisk. You can double check with Mr Wookie, but I don't think he changes anything else inside the ramdisk.

For new ROMs, you can simply do this:

1) Take the boot.blob from my "Stock ROM with ramdisk" CWM zip and replace the one in the Wookie ROM CWM zip.

2) Replace the two broadcom kernel modules in /system/lib/modules with my current modules also found in my "Stock ROM with ramdisk" CWM zip.

3) Adjust your performance script as necessary (system/etc/cpu3.sh) - not usually necessary unless something big would change and I would recommend it.

If an update comes out between rom versions, then users can just flash my "Stock ROM with ramdisk".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
willing to test .6 alpha. im on androwook but can flash other roms too if needed for testing.

realy curious about improvements in this version!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamiebburg:
Probably a stupid question, but I humble myself...

I have flashed the AOKP B.38 ROM and want to use the Montley kernel. I have restored all my apps, system data, etc through TB. My question is, when I flash the Montley kernel, do I need to do a data wipe, or just a cache wipe?

Thanks,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bastaerd:
Only cache
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YoMarK:
Really cool _motley. Running 3.05 for a day or so now, and for me it's as stable as the stock kernel. Running AOKP build 39. The combination rocks!

Especially looking forward to the ported MMC patches from the nVidia kernel.

Something I noticed with swapping

So, I also have a Droid Bionic, not that it matters to any extent other than the fact that swapping was of such great benefit using the webtop that I got in the habit of having a partition on my external SD for swapping.

That being said, I have a 1 GB swap partition on my SD card for swapping, which gets automatically enabled on reboot using swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (now mmcblk1p2 could be different for others should anyone like to try this, not to mention creating the swap partition itself requires extra steps, which I can post here later if anyone wants to know)

The point is, anyways, that even though I have 1.15 GB of swap, only 3MB appears to be used, even though I have swappiness set to 100... I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, which you can test, even without a swap partition, by just opening any terminal and using the "free" command.

It just seems strange, that I have 913MB of RAM used, and more than 1GB of free swap, of which only 3MB is being used...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brangalm:
Thanks so much motley for the crazy awesome work you do here. I'm just getting in to the world of custom kernels and I do have a Q for you:

If I'm running CM9, on a 64gb tablet, how shall I go about installing this? I realize its different for the 64gb models but I didn't see anything for CM9 recently.

Thanks again and I look forward to posting my experience with .5 (or .6? :P) shortly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
What's your point? On Linux systems ram is always nearly 100% used, but it's an illusion. I fact as long as no new process needs ram the system won't free it. I have the same behaviour on my Ubuntu computer.

You are in fact just saying that your system isn't stressed enough to need swap.

And I even wonder why creating such a big swap partition that will probably never been used. And due to I/O speed problems it would be perhaps better to use Zram.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Update

Hi, just wanted to provide an update on the 3.0.6 alpha.

I have back-ported the mmc drivers from android-tegra-nv-3.1 in their entirety, but have one remaining issue...the MicroSD card slot is not usable. The internal eMMC and SDCard slot on the dock are working great and system performance is good.

While benchmarking, it seems as if the changes will allow for more consistent i/o performance. I have always noticed that results before were not so consistent. Sometimes I would get a decent score and sometimes not. Here are some benchmarks that have been running so far. All @1.,7GHz and using sql lite updated libs.

"Device Performance" app score

5x200MB@/mnt/sdcard (=internal)

Max Write:	27 MB/s

Mean Write:	18

Min Write:	14

Max Read:	36

Mean Read:	29

Min Read:	20

These two are not very good for serious I/O testing (small bursts only), but consistency is what we are looking for.

Quadrant: I/O scores of 7328-7398

(best total was 5962)

Antutu: consistently getting SD write 10-14MB/s and SD read 38 to >50MB/s. Combined Database i/o and SD r/w scores are in the 850-890 range.

(best total was 14369)

Hi, back several posts ago, I gave my stance on 64GB tabs and the caveats of providing a compatible install. Hopefully we can rectify this soon.

Agreed, the system isn't being taxed enough. If you are not tuning your system to be able to run many apps at at time concurrently, you won't see swap used much even when swappiness is set to 100.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
I can't imagine why not as everyone is using the stock kernel in the roms. The only thing to keep in mind is that any ramdisk tweaks will be gone. The only tweak I make in the ramdisk is for unsecuring adb so you can do an "adb remount" to make the system partition writable. I would ask/encourage rom developers to help provide an option if they would like their customers to have the 1.7 capability since I don't have the time to monitor and create flashes for every rom that comes on the scene and when updates are made. I will consider doing it for the most popular roms.
