I have no luck at all with version 13 :(

EVERYTIME I leave my

docked

TF going on timeout, it has SOD.

I guess it's related to the new suspend code and dock, that's because it didn't happen on previous versions, and I have the same problem with mstninja 1.0 kernel.

I always use your stock frequency/voltage settings (1200/312). If I use it undocked, everything works, but normally I use it docked 90% of time.

ROMS used: CM9, Megatron, ARHD 3.1/3.2.

No issues with stock kernels
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SiNJiN76:
I'm not going to comment on how well its going so far...because the last time I did...my TF blew up...???...crap!:-$
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kensikora:
I hate to be a downer, but so far, in two days using test 13 , running at 1GHz on Revolver 4, I get SOD seemingly every time the tablet sleeps on the keyboard dock without being plugged in. No issues while charging, but nearly guaranteed SOD when unplugged. Which is about as often as I encountered it on the stock kernel included with Revolver 4.

This SOD thing is seriously killing me.

I don't know what kind of information would be helpful, but I'll be glad to share whatever you need.

Also, while we're at it, thanks for all your work. While I'm still banging my head against the wall, I fully appreciate that you're putting your free time into fixing something that Asus broke.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zdalin2003:
Ok, so here's what i did (after my last post):

factory reset -> clear cache/ dalvik ->

install revolver beta 1.3.0 -> reboot ->

setup system -> turn off -> recovery ->

install revolver beta 1.3.1 update -> turn off -> recovery ->

clear cache/dalvik ->

install test13 kernel ->reboot and start using the system.

Uptime: 15h:13min - no issues

When i got up, i plugged my tf into the dock, and the screen does that weird random thing again, so i recorded the logs:

http://pastebin.com/6J5JNJ9S

Now here's the chain of events: i received an email notification (which doesn't normally turn on the screen), after a few seconds the screen comes on -> clock says 18:04 and before it times out the time changes to 18:05

Regarding HDMI, everything else works fine.

My problem is as follows:

TF is docked. I load up the stock ics browser and go to youtube.com/?nomobile=1. Search and load up a video (this one).

I change it to 720p, go to fullscreen and pause to buffer.

After i hook up the hdmi cable, and try to press play, nothing happens.

I wait for a bit, still nothing, so i press the back arrow.

Still nothing, i'm just staring at a blank (black) screen, so i pull the hdmi cord out of my tf.

Now the browser window appears, i can see the tabs, but the youtube window itself is black.

So i close the youtube tab, and try to load up another site.

It won't load it.

I close all the tabs and quit the browser, and i try loading it up again.

If i try to go on any site, it still won't load, so i go and force close it.

After that it works again.

Now, the solution i found after playing around a bit is that if you plug the hdmi cable in while the video is playing, everything works fine.

Thanks.

L.E.: the HDMI issue also happens if you have the cable plugged in and then start the browser etc.

just wanted to do a report on kernel 13

70:21:31 and going...no RR. awesome kernel =)

on stock-rooted, oc'd to 1600.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] markculton:
I confirm that my tablet succumbs to SOD on test 13 when it falls asleep and is not charging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
test13 was terrible, browser crashes, razzle dazzle, explosions and sleep of death

went back to 11b and its stable again at 1700 and very smooth
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kay_kiat88:
After 2 days with test 13b on megatron, no sod, no reboot and everything is going smoothly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DroidRevenge:
Sorry for the intrusion but i want to emphasize one thing: why do you write "TERRIBLE" speaking about a edge situation ?

I mean that you have labeled "TERRIBLE" this version at 1700 Mhz of frequency!

Do you know that only some "LUCKY" (i don't think so indeed) processor can reach that frequency that is 70% higher of the STOCK one?

I don't want to fire up a dscussion, but i am amazed reading that comments...

Bye
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jef_k:
+1 ... :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kxnzxmori:
Guevor, your kernel is awesome. I can OC up to 1.4GHz with yours and get stable results. With the others, i'd get sods and reboots if i go up to that frequency. Great work! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] weazil60:
Test 13

Good morning all. Just to report, I have revolver 4 running test13 at 1.6 interactive. There have been no problems over the last two days at all. Very smooth.

Thank you.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Agreed
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zerghase:
I flashed test13 yesterday, and I have to report following two problems:

My TF (B80) didn't wake up this morning, it was docked, but not plugged in.

Also, the performance seems to be not as good as with the last blades kernel. I've been watching 720p videos at 15xx MHz, which was always stable and lag free on blades. With test13, even at 1600MHz, the same videos lag all the time (even with performance governor), and everything above 1600MHz is unstable on my tablet (getting errors in video playback, crashes etc. with all kernels).

I will try test11 later, you will get more results this evening.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
Sorry for not answering to anyone, but I'm working hard on test14.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Sweet will it be another big one or is this one more refining what's in place already?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
A big one. A lot of fixes and backports.

Since I have many pending backports to implement, I'd rather go applying (adjusting them to work, at least in the tests I can do) than try to fix things and then apply backports, because in many cases would double the work.

Well, that was my approach from the beginning.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Flapjack7:
USB to PC connection doesn't work with this kernel? My PC doesn't recognize my Transformer. On stock kernel everything works ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jef_k:
Mine works... :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philseven:
Looking forward 14 try'ed all the others but 11b seams to be the best for me on frozn.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, thanks for this brilliant kernel & sorry if this is already mentioned, but i found a bug, on my tf anyway...

I just flashed the update for revolver rom, flashed your kernel, every thing is great... after a couple of reboots (that i wanted i.e. i pressed rebbot) the ondemand governor has reverted back to interative... according to setcpu... please see screenshot (if xda hd premium will let me upload it)... maybe others could test?

Btw im on the latest 13 test kernel, thanks again..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
Test14

Updated with Test14

Includes a lot of minor patches for various bugs (about 200).

As I said before, it might work better than before, or maybe not, the question is to test the changes and see if it's worth use it in place of Test11b or Test13.

I have not tested it very much, but for me it's working well with and without dock, suspending with button or by timeout

Has some "minor" difference like it not wake up connecting the usb.

In battery consumption should go a little better, but time will tell.

Tomorrow I'll see the comments and try to answer questions, but now I'm in a hurry.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cholywell:
I just flashed 14 but my init.d script to set the io scheduler to sio still doesn't work. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kay_kiat88:
I have realized that from all your kernels, my CPU will run beyond the max speed set by CPU. I've always set my max at 1000Mhz but as you can see from the statistics, the processor spends some time at 1200Mhz. This happens only at boot up. As time passes the CPU doesn't go to 1200Mhz. It doesn't affect usability or stability though. Everything is good so far. I'm going to sleep now with my tf101 on. If SOD happens I'll report tomorrow. Thanks for all your hard work. Have fun at Florence!

I believe I have read that boot speed is 1.2 ghz, so when the system is booting, and before your cpu controller recieves root privillages it will be at 1.2 ghz... :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Try this

Settings>Storage>Click on the 3 dots icon (top right corner)>USB computer connection>Media device, make sure it's checked. Even if it's already checked, un-check and check it again. if that still don't work also try turning of USB debugging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cholywell:
Running on Megatron and test 14 when I leave the tablet docked and not charging it will SOD immediately when the screen times out and the tablet sleeps.

Does this kernel supports voodoo sound?

Where can I get the stock kernel (2.6.39.4 android@Mercury #1) if I want to get back?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
im on 11b because it is way more stable than 13, and i just got my first boot loop. i opened the tablet with keyboard attached. when it tried to wake up the screen it went into boot loop.

it was not in deep sleep. unless it can make notification sounds in deep sleep lol

ill try 14 now
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gkillerx:
One simple search and you will find you awnser

Uhm what means fb 228 ? its in the filename
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Feels a little slower than test 13 but can't be to sure anyone else or just me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pissos13:
Installed test14 and voodoo sound app dont work as it says kernel not supported, is necessary to activate the module?

Some help to make voodoo sound working?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
did you wipe cache dalvik cache and staging before installing the kernel?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AllanJacques:
Indeed, what does it mean?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eminembdg:
Anyone use this on AOKP?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pissos13:
Did that and no luck with voodoo sound...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
strange im on 14 and have voodoo you are using the beta aren't you ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pissos13:
Already understood the problem, I have to pay for plus to use the beta... So I cannot try for free to check if the difference on sound is good enought to make me pay...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stepheng:
If you liked it before you'll still like it. The man worked his ass off to get voodoo on our device from the ics update pony up the 4 bucks. That's lunch money man for a quality product
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Honestly if you like music at all or care about sound quality you will buy it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Does it do anything to help the nearly non-existent on-board speaker sound volume or is this strictly headphones. I did read through the app description and wasn't able to figure that piece out.

And just so as not to totally derail this thread: I've been using guevor's kernels since ~v12 and switched to ~v14 this morning. v14 is working fine although the changes from 13-14 are too subtle for me to detect. I get ~same scores using benchmarks (for those who think they matter) on 13 and 14 and response-wise doing real things, I think they're alike.

Thanks -

Oh yeah: Overclocking v14: Tried from 1.2G to 1.64, at each stop, and all completed Antutu but 1.7 (made it to 24%) and were functional in all ways. I don't undervolt this kernel since the battery life seems fine to me. I'd like to overvolt 1.7 by ~.025 to 1.5 rather than 1.475 on some versions of this since that is about my limit and now and then it'll hang on something CPU intensive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Just for headphones i think although with the way the voodoo dev is going that could change if it hasn't already
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jef_k:
You need to use Voodoo Sound Plus... as told on the appropriate thread by Supercurio. (Dev for Voodoo.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magnesus:
/system/bin/am

/system/bin/pm

Those files should have first like like that:

#!/system/bin/sh

Without it developer tools don't work (testing, debugging apps). I fixed it on my Transformer through adb, would be nice if it was like that in next versions out of the box. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
A question. All you have an SD in the card reader of the dock? Have tested without the card?.

I have been using the dock in every way, stopping by button, application, leaving it a while, pulling it out and putting the dock and always works well.

The problem that exist (that I have constance) is with the card reader of the dock (as I not usually use it, I forget to test).

The simplest test is if you boot normally without a card in the reader, and once booted, insert the card .... boom.

Whenever I get a moment I look at it.

I made ricardopvz suggested changes. Will check again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
Guevor i was tought a curiosity...do you think that colours of our TF's display can be much more saturated? :)

Edit: something like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366280
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gkillerx:
Overall it seems a little smoother (not faster) and youtube lagg is presented again. in test 12 the HD lagg was almost gone...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I can confirm that the SOD occurs almost everytime if a SDCard is in the dock for me.

Since I removed it, it didn't happen yet.

I think the SOD happens more often if something is actually using the SDCard while it goes to sleep, like for example the android.process.media.

That used to do that or reboot with HC kernel a long time ago too.

At some point it got fixed, and didn't do it anymore.

So maybe something to backport into the ICS kernel.

Beside that test13 worked very well for me, I switched to test14 now and it seems good so far too :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] atothis:
Well, yes, I always use the full SD into my dock, and I haven't tried without it to be honest.

Now I'm testing new Revolver with stock kernel, "waiting" for some kernel issue. I'll try soon your latest version with this rom and without SD.

Have fun in Florence, hope there'd be a decent weather there, not as sh**ty as here in Turin :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jef_k:
Hi,

I just encountered a SOD with "test14" and Revolver 4.0.0 RC1.

cpu@1400mHz.

Edit : + bootloop at the assus boot screen, loop and loop and loop and loop... 4 resets to be able to reboot normaly.

Edit2 : Not able to boot properly, freeze after somes seconds just after the boot has ended. Re-up Test13 with recovery, same problem. Re-up Revolver 4.0.0 RC1 entirely to restore stock kernel : works fine.

Edit3 : I have lost a synchronised account. No more contacts, no more appointments, contacts list is empty, calendar too. F**k :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] j3tt3:
Tested test14 since released and had no issues at all...

surprised to see that 1640mhz is stable with Revolver 4 RC1

voodoo sound plus is working...

Perfect!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
Sorry to hear that.

Can be that used a init.d script to change voltage and undervolt in excess?

Happened to me, that having recorded wrong/unstable values, each time I booted the system failed. While using can seem like good values, but if not good/stable, can crash and need to reboot, where used on boot generating a reboot, etc...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cholywell:
On test 14 when I insert a USB stick into the dock the tablet starts to lag and then freezes. I tried flashing TestyMeh 1.0 and the problem goes away.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
You are right, it freezes when i insert any sort of USB stick! :(

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Edit: Test 13 it's ok, don't show this problem. Maybe something is corrupt into Test 14!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jef_k:
I just undervolted at the values you've given on the first page.

I don't tink it's the reason, I've undervolted since early days I use your kernel. So test11...

Just restored my contacts and calendar from outlook... Hopefully, it works.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
I can confirm that every removable media which is being inserted leads to a kernel panic and therefore makes our tf freeze.

This is a serious problem, as I can 100% confirm it's kernel related, because on stock kernel, everything works just like it should.

Please try to look into this.

Maybe it's something that has to do with recent suspend code changes ?

Or some of your backports might have messed it up, too.

All the best, mate.

I really used to enjoy your kernel, especially when playing games such as Modern Combat 3 on ICS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
I would suggest to improve better Test_15 slowly without run :) Test13 for now is the best thing between stability and speed. Maybe in Test_15 you will find some new tweaks for push more boost into our loved TF :D thx 4 your work man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
On test14, I just inserted a USB stick to create a backup of my sdcard, and that worked fine. I monitored logcat during some of the copy and noted nothing interesting. The backup worked OK.

Maybe you could make a logcat > /sdcard/somewhere.txt and post it? I wound up using two different sticks so apparently it doesn't happen on every insertion of external media.

------------
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] j3tt3:
guevor will surely fix this dock sd card issue.

Insert the sd card when tf is turned off then reboot.

:Dit works fine
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Hmmm.. I'll grab some kmsg soon for sure ...

Could you please check what filesystems your removables use ?

Mine were both ntfs (one usb stick, 4gb and an external hdd, 500gb) ..

I can use both mediums without a problem with Windows 7 and Mac OS Lion.

So the fault has to come from the tf !

And when flashed another kernel, everything works fine.

Only with test14 every time I insert any kind of removable media, my tf freezes instantly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
I was using fat32 on both, but will create an ntfs one to test. Just to check, I opened a term window and looked over modules via lsmod and see tntfs.ko which I'm guessing is the ntfs module? I'd think any ntfs problem might stem from that.

I'll let you know
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] XSYLUS:
Woke up this morning to find my tf101 boot looping... not just the normal boot loop, this time it was showing the bios screen then shutting off, showing the bios screen, shutting off. It wasn't even making it to the boot animation. :eek: I held down the power button which got it to boot normally. I'm running the 1200 version of this test kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
I know there is a problem with the usb. Apparently you lose an interrupt and the system runs indefinitely waiting and getting thousands of messages from kernel (the kernel become unusable). I tried to put the code for usb management from test13, so I try and connect the usb that previously failed, now works correctly. All seems good.

Reboot with the same kernel test and it produces the same effect before finish booting (with nothing inserted). Several attempts to start and the same effect. This time seems to be in a gpu transfer.

It seems that the .... problem of interruptions pass from one subsystem to another and with increasing frequency. Don't know if the asus hardware design has problems and you have to get that these errors do not cause any serious problem or just I'm going crazy.

Anyway, I have to decide how to continue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
OK -- Here is the result of a quick NTFS test:

What I did:

- I formatted via Win 7 a 4G USB stick as NTFS.

- Turned on logcat > /sdcard/ntfsusbtest.log (to capture errors)

- Plugged in the stick, watched it mount OK.

- Copied a file to it via cifs from my PC, no problem.

- took the logcat file and am trying to attach it to the end of this message:

------------- my logcat file from the mount/copy/unmount op -------------

Sorry: It turns out there is a 30,000 char max on these messages, so let me see if I can upload the .5 mb file instead. I had to zip it so it ought to be attached here somewhere.

---------------------------------------

Edit: I should mention that I'm using Revolution 3.2.0 (latest) as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
One recommendation, do not put out publicly logcat may contain private information.

On the other hand, in this case, what is needed is the output of the kernel, either with cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.log

to leave loging

or

dmesg> /sdcard/dmesg.log

after the test
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Thanks -- good point. I got rid of it.

I'll try it your way using kmsg and dmesg.

I get loads of 'Open Gl renderer out of memory' erors when using Comic Rack comics viewer and after a while the program freezes. Force closing with app killer works. I didn't have the errors with Revolver RC1 kernel. Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guevor:
I've had that problem with all kinds of kernels and I have not at all clear that the kernel is at fault.

Sometimes it does not happen in a long time, sometimes very quickly.

When it happens, the opengl malfunctions, runs out of memory easily and tend to crash programs. For some reason the memory is not freed.

One cause seems to be the launcher, but the problem really seems the video drivers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ppzoid:
Thanks for the quick reply, but i haven't had this problem before with comic rack. Will keep an eye on it. Besides this problem everythig seems to be working fine.
