I added the promised 3rd DataSwap package, it turns the feature off completely and reclaims the swap storage space. I also have a kernel update in the works to decrease the lagging on swap writes, but I need to test it first :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Liking the ROM, although, anyone else getting glithces in pictures taken with camera?

Everything was working great with first build, infact one of the best ICS cams I tried, but ROM wasn´t as snappy as later releases. But in later releases, I get borked pictures.

Oh, and it´s almost always when taking a series of pictures, first-second come out fine, third and after always gets borked.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jivebunny:
Can confirm! Even happening on second picture here. Killing the camera app by longpress home and swiping the camera app fixes it, for one picture hehe. Other then that, having great performance now with 120619! No more weird timeouts in apps and mem management is definitely doing great now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Yep, exact behavior as mine then. (sometimes second pic, sometimes third, was trying to be "kind" to the ROM)

Unfortunately, when needing to take a series of pics, killing the app kind of defeats the purpose. :D

If it is possible to fix, I´m all ears.

Flashlight at lockscreen

Hi,

thanks for your ROM, testing, looks great!!

Is there any possibilty, how to turn the light on during turned display on in lockscreen via Home button?

I can turn it on before device wake up holding power button, but I would appreciate turn it on by holding home button (or trackball, menu, whatever, but not power button, its not comfortable ...

Thanks.

Just to be complete for if n1k3r wants to take a crack at it: screen tearing occurs in combination with pixelation on default settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Adding a pic for explanation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I know it probably goes without saying, but maybe mention in the original post that your G2/Vision needs to have it's radio upgraded to .19 if you're still using the stock .15_M2 firmware like I was. Couldn't boot off the ROM til I had the bright idea that maybe I needed to match everything (including radio version) to what you were using personally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
The camera problem on subsequent shots is interesting, notice how it always has a portion of the last image. What I think this is - the camera is using a single buffer for saving a photo, you take a shot and the picture goes into a memory buffer, then is being saved to sdcard. If you take another shot it overwrites the one that is in memory, but the first one is already saved in write buffer, just unconfirmed to have be written. So the first image is saved and the second image equals the unsaved part of the first image plus second image.

If you allow long enough between shots for it to flush everything (6s should be the peak here), the corruption should not happen.

You say this did not happen in earlier versions? When or where exactly is it working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
im not seeing any 20/6 update link can you post me the link couse all links in op are writing 19/6
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Thanks for looking into it, as I said, the first release was great in that matter. It was fast with good quality. 120609 i believe it was called.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
You mean the re-release 120609-2, the first version was quite unstable actually, buggy installer and unstable sd-ext :D

But no I just checked and if you shoot reeealy fast it's having the same problem. Looks like the older camera just shoot in lower reslution or with more jpeg compression, so that the saving is faster, but it happens as well if you really push it.

I'll try to use other cameras out there if they all have the same problem.

Oh and the 120620 kernel, you are going to have to wait for that a bit longer, I made up my mind yesterday, there's still some tweaking to be done ;)

EDIT: Wow :eek: I just found out you can use the phone to connect to another phone via USB and debug it using adb from terminal. Did I enable that? lol

We are talking high speed phone to phone file transfer if that works. I just don't have the cable to even try :D

EDIT2: Looks like I fixed the camera problem, it will be in next version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New kernel

EliteKernel 120620 has been released

This fixes the camera problem on EliteMod, increases general smoothness and increases DataSwap mod performance by about 300%. That means there are no swapping lags and it's much more viable as a memory boost without performance degradation.

Changes 120620 (kernel only):

- increased smoothness when using DataSwap mods or sd swap

- removed useless OC daemon and replaced it with simple free OC+voltage control app

(sleep profile is built into Smartass2, there is no advantage having a daemon sleep profile at all)

- increased CPU throughput slightly (more smoothness)

- fix overlapping shots on camera

Enjoy :D

PS: I see one person was clever enough to download the mod yesterday from my server by guessing the filename ;)

You, whoever you are, re-download the actual release, because you did not get the CPU tweak or camera fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
I had a long post prepared for this, but no time, thanksfully, I now don´t have to write it up...

Looking forward to see. Thanks!

I suspected the kernel, since I tried a few things (not that I am a developer or something, just logic...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yes I suspected the kernel, there was a feature probably ported from some newer device to speed up the camera shooting by not clearing the buffer but writing over it. Nice in theory but apparently it didn't go well :D

I just found out that 32MB DataSwap is not enough for me, trying 64MB and I might even make a 96 or 128MB version if need be. The phone is actually really smooth right up to the point when swap fills up, then it starts to kill stuff and drop its pages from swap and it lags a bit now and then, but nothing serious. I'll just try 64MB and see how it goes over longer uptimes :)

Pulled the patches from gerrit as well as the hand merged and compiled CM9 with linaro gcc 4.6.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
Which gcc4.6 release?

And more importantly, what gain were you able to register?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cangri87:
Isn't the new Linaro tool chain 4.7?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
op says 4.6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
No discernible performance difference, by feel or benchmark to my noob eye. Antutu'd at 6100 on the stock kernel/settings which is normal. Some graphical glitches when exiting apps. The standard ICS animation scales were slightly more tolerable than normal, or that could be wishful thinking.

A ton of Linaro related commits and a lot of work to do to make it all work I'm sure; hope to see them merged officially soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gandhisfist:
Used gcc 4.6 because I am building on 10.10 and 4.7 isn't available.

ubuntu has a linaro package?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
why not use the linaro toolchain? https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Toolchain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
my point exactly. if it is linaro 4.6, both 4.6 and 4.7 are for download, you don't have to depend on the debian/ubuntu repository.

I would love to see rascream source built with the 4.7 toolchain, rascream is the business as it is! :D

Wasn't the 4.7 one the one that was used for the build in the video that was posted here a week or so ago?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I think OP used plain gcc 4.6 to compile. The whole point of linaro is an optimized toolchain. I really hope we see some real improvements with the linaro gcc.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Somebody on reddit benchmarked this build against the official nightlies. http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNexus/comments/usos8/linaro_optimized_cm9_builds_for_vzw_and_gsm/

Ofcrouse, these are only benchmarks. I think it's slightly snappier than the official builds. The animations haven't improved (because they mostly use the GPU which hasn't changed), but some CPU heavy operations like bringing up the multitasking menu or switching between apps seem to be snappier. It may be placebo though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arvylas:
The scores are pretty low though. I get much better scores with slim ics. I get almost 6500 on antutu with stock settings compared to 5600 with linaro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Interesting comparo. Makes me wonder if they benched at less than 1200 MHz however; many of those scores are much less than I see on CM9 (both pre/post Linaro). Maybe it's like comparing a Mustang Dyno at 4000' to a Dynojet at sea level though*.

Looks like there's much more to be merged, and I'm not sure if last night's official build used 4.7(?)

*I don't put a TON of faith in benchmarks, so I do realize that absolute difference is what matters here for the benchmark police should they arrive on scene.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

They're similar to what I get running at 920 MHz on CM9.

Still a valid comparison however, it's the difference that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azdian:
don't count on bench scores guys.

if the scrolling and performance become smoother and faster thats what really matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It also means it could be placebo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Unfortunately no benchmark apps really reflect how real world use feels. I run the occasional one, usually as a result of boredom, or to see what parts of the total score kernels inflate/deflate and decide whether any of it translates to the real world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
If there is a real difference it is likely quantifiable.

if something feels snappier or smoother, there is more data in play, more frames rendered or less dropped which in turn would be picked up in benchmarks.

It helps to run a suite of benchmarks, that way you can filter out just normal fluctuations.

And avoid getting fooled by maxed out benchmarks not showing a difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fortesquieu:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
I'm wondering what's not measured a lot of the time. I can't see any human explanation of how your kernels perform so well at 1036 MHz. I compare the data from a kernel that has occasional lagging at 1200 MHz (the "Temple Run test"), but can't see what the real, quantifiable, difference is so I rely on my butt dyno.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkRyoushii:
Running this build now and right off the bat this thing feels heaps faster than the previous build listed in OP.

For what it's worth, my Linaro 4.6.4 built kernel outscored my Linaro 4.7.1 kernel by enough to hope we see more side by side builds of roms to thoroughly test 4.6.4 builds to 4.7.1 builds, unless you are using a flag that is known to only work in 4.7.1.

Thanks to the DEVs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
To be honest it doesn't seem any snappier/smoother vs slim rom. It is mainly cpu optimizations from what is stated. I doubt we're going to see any graphical processing improvement. I mean ICS uses the GPU to render the UI vs CPU back in GB. I did see the benches where they did get double the fps in the bench. But I really wonder how much additional benefits we would see form every day usage? If it's just to jerk off to bench marks then idk.
