[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
I decided to do some comparisons of defconfigs and found that every kernel that was reported to not have the problem (lordmod, tiamat, even looked back at faux's gb kernel) seemed to have the config for force_overlay_update enabled while the ones with upside down screens and freezes and whatnot (aospx and elgin's 3.0) did not; leaving me to conclude that this might just be what's causing problems on some device (not a kernel dev so don't quote me on this, I still need to see how it works on devices with the problems). This kernel would have had it from the beginning, but after looking things over some more, I remembered that back when I first started it wouldn't build with that enabled and found the dependencies in msm_fb had been broken. So I fixed those dependencies and compiled this one with the overlay hack enabled.

Could those with the screen problems/random freezes try this kernel out for me and report back?

Maybe it's the charger/cable. Have you tried using another charger?

Yup hasn't been changed. It's even in the changelog.

Didn't have a single lockscreen issue since updating to mr1. Maybe the new touchscreen drivers fixed it? Just saying...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Well even with the test kernel that had the same adjustments some still experienced it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlaplante:
Is the kernel in mr1 (almost) the same as your latest test kernel before mr1?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Ok cool I think it might be the cable or charger like you said I switched it to use my ipod charger it went up to 51% from the time of posting till now so I guess your right thanks will do more testing great rom though :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
They're quite similar. It's got a couple of updates from existz here and there to things like kgsl and a few other drivers (almost forgot, I turned off zram [for the time being] as well) but I think that's about it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] trofmoc:
This one is really sweet

Only issue is bt audio on incoming calls. Sometimes works but not usually. If person calls back no problem,works fine but first call no audio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pseudoswede:
Yes, I used CWM to install the ROM. Not sure why there isn't an option to do a full /system wipe.

Also noticed that my problems with Apex Launcher (widgets not updating) is a known issue.

I'm not all that happy with Dark Unicorn, maybe I'll switch back later and do it manually in Recovery.

As an aside, if I do switch back, can anyone recommend an app that will allow me to tweak the status bar to my liking? For example, move the clock to the middle of the status bar, switch the batter indicator, etc. Something like Inferno Controls included with Dark Unicorn.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
I'm gonna give it a try, cause I've still been getting them pretty frequently all day.

Almost every time I hold the phone away from my ear during a call, the screen comes back on upside down. And I have to press the end button where it technically would be right side up on the upside down display to hang up. If it happens again, I'll try to take a picture of it with my tablet cause if I screenshot it, it appears right side up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] THEindian:
DAMN! I already flashed BR7! Oh well, its fast man, love what you and existz are doing with it

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Was there not any changes made to the name of the kernel to differentiate it from the original kernel that comes with the ROM?

It still says the same thing, unless the numbers are different. I don't remember what the numbers were before.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
No. But if you flashed the zip, its there.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anydayoftheweek:
I'll try to download it again when I get to WiFi, and report back.. thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
I think you fixed it dude. I haven't had an upside down screen since I flashed it.

EDIT: Jk, you can guess what just happened. -_-
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
I'll give that a shot, still getting the inverted screens when unlocking the phone.

Great, thanks so much for your work and dedication to this "ancient" phone!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Way to get my hopes up and crush them in a single post :( lol. I guess its back to the drawing board. Well I'm at least hoping this helps those with lock ups and freezes since Zinx's description on his patch said it helped with freezes/lock ups on wake/resume... or something like that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Superchill11:
Drawing Bored?

Synthetic,

I haven't flashed your updated kernel (upside-down screen bug/ lockscreen freeze fixes) yet. I still get the screen problem after flashing MR1, but I noticed that for about 24hrs after my update, the lock-screen was fine. On BR7 it seemed that the longer I ran the rom without cleaning cache and dalvik, the more issues I would have with the inverted screen issue. I will keep using the MR1 until I get more frequent lockscreen inversion issues then do a cache/dalvik wipe and see if that temporarily fixes the issue. I don't know that much about programming, but i'm just going off of my observations on the software's behavior. Thanks again for the Tight ROM! Let me know if you need logcat or anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
Really enjoying this ROM, stable, quick, no major issues.

My only (minor) annoyance is that if I change the DPI from 240 to 220, the XDA app doesn't work - I tried several different versions, and they all force close.

I was running a GB ROM before, had my density at 220dpi and had no issues with the XDA app. (I did install a modified Market in this ROM so that it won't "hide" certain applications from me, or tell me that they are not compatible with my phone).

Not being able to run the XDA app is annoying - but not that annoying that I'll switch back to 240dpi for density.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
Yea, last night I wiped the cache and dalvik and fixed permissions in recovery and it still does it.

I'm trying different governors now to see it that'll help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
I tried that in BR7 and it didn't seem to make any difference - tried different governors, different wallpapers (a photo vs. a "stock" wallpaper" and three or four different launchers. I've had this in several other ROMS (GB as well as ICS), so it's probably a HW thing vs. a ROM/kernel thing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
WIth the new kernel I think I'm actually getting *more* inverted/pixelated lockscreens then with the stock kernel, but it could just be my imagination (or I'm just using my phone a little bit more today than yesterday)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjbadd385:
I must be the luckiest sumbitch walking! I've never had the upside down screen issue, & on the Sense 4 roms, I didn't have the flashing screen issue. All I do is wipe everything, format everything except sdcard, flash the rom. Then the very 1st thing I do is install SuperSU, update the binaries & then I install RomToolbox, & uninstall the Superuser. Then I use Titanium BU, to do a batch restore on all my user apps. I don't overclock because it's really not much of a noticeable difference. I'm at Max. 1023 - Min. 245 with ondemandX or Smartass v2. That's it. No more tweaking & I never have those issues. My phone is quick & snappy, with better that average battery life. I have the bad chip (allegedly), along with the bad screen (also allegedly), as Ive flashed this baby hundreds of times. I only posted my method to see what some of you may do differently, that may be causing issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NatsuDragneell:
Same here no problems on this or sense 4 I think the bad chip is actually good lool

Sent from my HTC Glacier with Beats Audio™
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Hm. So it doesn't have to do with the bad screens then...? Well then I'm stumped lol. I'll do some more looking into it, but I never really knew what I was trying to find to begin with lol. Because from what I can recall from previous feedback from Reality is that the upside down lockscreen only happened when he used the aospx kernel, but stopped when he would switch it out for LorD ClockaN's, so I thought it was a kernel issue, but then dorqus said he had it on GB as well, which uses a different kernel, and then I thought it could have been a hardware issue until the above was posted. Then with the test kernel, it stopped it for a while for Reality (enough for him to think it was fixed after a couple of hours) while dorqus said it happened more. -.-

Could the few who had random freezes/lockups try the test kernel and let me know if it helps? I need to know if its helping anything so that way I know whether to keep or remove the dependencies for overlay force update (either way its shown no difference to me).

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjbadd385:
I'm actually wondering what tweaks that users are making to alter the rom from it's original state. I like to use the rom pretty much "as-is". I've always thought overclocking is not really a good thing, and I've always tried to stay 1100 or under. It could be something that users have done in the past that may have caused irreversible issues to their hardware? And it could be a tweak they're doing now with the governors & such...or maybe not. I just know I've never seen any of the reported issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
I do the same exact thing you do, what a coinkydink! Except I OC to 1.2ghz and use the performance governor most of the time b/c games lag on my phone. I have the "bad chip" "good screen" model of this phone.

It does happen on GB as well. I actually remember it happening on the stock OS that came with the phone. I don't think it happened on AOSP GB ROMs though, just sense. It was also not nearly as often as it is on ICS. It happens pretty frequently compared to GB.

I don't install any tweaks. I don't believe in that bull.

Only thing I do is O/C to 1.2 and change the governor to performance, and that's if I remember to do it. It does seem to happen more often on the other governors based on my past experience.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlaplante:
I remember having lockscreen lockups on CM7 too
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Supamike88:
The only issue I've had with this rom is that sometimes when I don't answer a call fast enough and it would normally just show a missed call, sometimes it just hangs on the call screen for 4-5 seconds as if maybe you answered the call
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anydayoftheweek:
The inversions still happen, with the kernel overlay hack.

*wiped/format all partitions

*installed fresh mr1

*booted

*Then flashed test kernal

(For those wondering)

I want to say the hang ups didn't feel as long as before, but it might be wishful thinking ...

M7 is the most recent. Choose one of the flashable zips in that threads op (I need to update my link. That post used to have all the info) since the zips contain all the libs Google now needs. And if you want the complete installation choose the one that works offline.

Thanks. Gritting my teeth because I know this is a dumb question, but again, I"ve been away for a year happy thus far with Royal Ginger using the aint broke/dont fix it avenue...

What is "google now" in the OP of the aospx rom - does it replace the google apps zip that we used to have to flash?

And Synth, why are you calling it a flashable zip, when it downloads as an apk?

Bottom line, do I need google now to augment the main rom to use services like gmail/voice dictation, etcc?

I put this rom on my other phone "glacier" I have to say to the dev your doing an amazing job I switched to this from a ported sense rom which was horrid and this is like wow can't wait for more releases
[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
I think the mint_chocolate kernel with the overlay hack enabled is worse than the original mint_chocolate kernel.

I didn't get to use the original one for as long as this overlay hack one, but I really don't want to rewipe and reflash to have everything working as it should. Ever since a few hours after flashing that kernel, I've been having a horrid experience on this ROM. Lol

Like I had to call the bank to get my account summary and it's automated, so you dial in the options and info...anyways, I pull the phone away from my ear to dial my info, and the screen was upside down. I tried turning the screen on and off w/ the power button, covering the sensor and uncovering to get the screen on and off, and tried hanging up by pressing the end button, but the call was still going...had to do a battery pull.

And I just had to do another battery pull cause my phone froze while the screen was upside down.

Appears I have to turn the screen on and off a few more times than usual to the screen to appear rightside up.

Just reporting back on the kernel though, not complaining at all.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
I need logs (preferably a dmesg or a last_kmesg from after a battery pull). My experiences with the overlay hack is that it has smoothened out the preview in video camera (before hitting record). So I'm planning on keeping it for now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] I2IEAILiiTY:
How do the kmesg work? I've seen it in my Transformer forums, but I don't fool with my tab too much.

Is it a file that's automatically logged and where would it be located?

I'm about at the point where I'm just gonna say it's a hardware issue and I'll probably just have to steer clear from this one.

Enter "su" to get root privileges

Enter "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt" to save current log.

Close terminal app.

ADB:

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /path/where/save/last_kmsg.txt

Take it after a reboot. And yeah its logged as like the last bit of data the kernel took in before the reboot if I remember right

silly question

Sorry for the silly question but I have been going though so many ROM's these past few days I can't keep up with what is what, I saw a post about notification bar power buttons but no real answer went to turn WiFi off though it and there were none might not have them in this ROM if not no big deal just forgot if it had them or I broke something when I uninstalled apps I don't use with TB so if I broke something let me know how dumb I am hear is a list.

OxBenchmark, Exchange Services, Movie Studio, News & Weather, OL File Manger.

Battery life is the best for me even with falling asleep on phone leaving Facebook running, fast, smooth, stable, and charging up is super fast.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Seminoles:
I haven't had any of these problems out of the box so no reason to flash the overlay hack kernel glad I didn't. Man I fell so lucky for once this thing is just like it came off the shelf from a store minus the T-mobile anchor bloat wear.... LOL
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
If there's nothing wrong with the current kernel for you, the overlay hack one should work for you as well. I'm currently running it with no problem. I'm just trying to chase down a ghost bug that only some people are having with pretty much only one dmesg as a reference.

Also, open the notification bar and hit the little settings button at the top and it should bring up all the options for wifi etc
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Seminoles:
What would be the benefit of running the overlay hack kernel over the one in ROM flash or should I leave it along since it aint broke? LOL

Also, thanks thought that button went into main settings like on the One S
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjbadd385:
Hey Syn, dont sweat it too much man. In my many years of working on machines, Ive learned that consistancy is very valuable information, EVEN IF IT IS malfunction. Wait I will be more clear. In order to fix something, you need to reproduce the error that some of these users are having, or there is not much of a chance to fix it. Its truly too much for anyone to expect from you, if there is no way for you to duplicate the problem that they are experiencing. The issues seem to be isolated occurences, among a few, as compared to the success that the majority of us are having. So bro, dont stress out too much, the ROM is honestly, the very best I have used EVER. I have absolutely NO issues. I mean sure, in a perfect world, you want every user to experience the same thing, but due to things that are out of your control, like chips, installation methods, tweaks, etc, its virtually impossible. Ive been seeing you trying hard the last few days, and i just wanted to throw som encouragement your way, to remind you that for 99% of us, this rom is practically flawless! Thank You for your time and patience to listen. And remember its not your fault if you cant re-create the issues that are happening, which is the only way you would be able to remedy the problems.

Not that I remember on earlier builds. I used the grapefruit test kernel with the build before 10/5 but I don't remember if I ever did or not. I left cause of the video glitches and stuff and tried sense 4, so I probably didn't get any upside down screens.

Don't really want to fool with my phone anymore since it's working perfect atm. Still haven't had an upside down screen.
