I installed Slim Bean 2.8 & Marmite 6.7.10 .. looking at the Performance > Processor Speed tab.. it never drops below 1000mhz, I have no idea why.

The governor is set to ondemand as well. :S this is off a brand new flash, nothing is on except for NStools.

Maybe this is why battery drain has been crappy :(
[Nexus S Android Development] BenHeng:

How can you check?

Did you just go to the processor speed tab and leave it idle for a bit?

Mine's not scaling down at all :S.. this is so weird. -sigh- might have to try another rom
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Before switching roms, check if it's not an app that went haywire. You can use BetterBatteryStats to diagnose battery drain issues.

If you post screenshots of your partial wakelocks, alarms and also one from the Android built-in battery graph many people here can help you.

Edit: You can also monitor time spent at a certain frequency using CPUSpy.
[Nexus S Android Development] ScOULaris:
Update: Nevermind, I was jumping to conclusions. Switched back to previous kernels and it feels the same. I think that my hands are just really cold at the moment, so the vibrations feel numbed.

Noticed a subtle, but annoying problem after flashing 6.7.10.

The vibration for pressing keys on the stock keyboard (4.2 with gestures enabled) is much softer than it should be. This is the only version of the kernel that has had this issue, as I have used 6.7-6.9 as well.

I am on CM10 (11/12 nightly) on a Nexus S i9020a.

Edit: Upon further investigation, it feels like the vibration for everything (i.e. the hardware buttons) has been softened since flashing 6.7.10.
[Nexus S Android Development] xis123:
It couldn't be a app gone haywire if I wiped it using the following method could it?

- Factory reset

Wipe cache/dalvik cache

format system

Flash Slim Bean 2.8, Slim G_apps, Marmite 4.7.10 (in that order)

Eugh it's 2:52AM here in australia and this is doing my head in, android OCD :(
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Are you sure it's not a ROM issue? Going back to previous version fixes it?? :S

Could be many things. Google Now, Google Backup, Google accounts sync, Media Scanner, all these tend to act up a bit on a new rom flash. They usually settle after a day though.

You should go to bed and troubleshoot when you're not as tired. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
No he's right, vibration is weaker on key-presses. Just tried, I normally have it disabled. Good news is that it's as strong as before for notifications, that's why I didn't notice a change. Comes down to personal preference, I guess. It vibrates, just a bit shorter (thus weaker) than before.
[Nexus S Android Development] ttakacs:
I am on CM10 (11/14) nightly, crespo4g.

With kernel v6.7.10_moremem_CM I show 411mb.

With kernel v6.7.10CM I show 407mb.

No overclocking or anything.

Just thought you'd like to know.
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
That's what the "moremem" must stand for... :p
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I haven't noticed a change with 6.7.9 with Swiftkey myself. Really a 6.7.10 bug or rom?

Edit: Title needs to be edited to moremembutlessbrrrr if this is true :p
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Bah, dunno. ^^

It's weaker than I remembered, but then it must've been months since I disabled it. Only thing that's for sure is that it isn't broken. I actually like it, maybe I keep it active. But then again, why put that extra stress on a hw-part of a phone that just came out of warranty?

Edit:

Nice title. :D

But you better start testing it, since you already resetted your sys and started a new run. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] ScOULaris:
I dunno, man. I think we are just imagining things here. The vibrations on the stock keyboard were always a little soft, and my hands are like ice cubes right now in my freezing cold office. I switched back to previous versions of Marmite, and the vibrations felt the same. It's especially likely that you are imagining the weaker vibrations considering you had it turned off for months and probably don't accurately remember it.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I'll keep an eye out when I switch from 6.7.9 to 6.7.10-extramem to see if it's really kernel related. I use the vibration on Swiftkey while I used to have it disabled on the stock keyboard because I can set the length of the vibration and shorten it. Once you start using it, seems you can't stop. Additional physical feedback kinda helps when typing, in a very subconscious way.

Edit: Or it's a rom issue. Or it's a kernel issue. Or you're having nocebo.
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
First day after disabling it I missed it. Hard. Now it's kinda annoying. ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] nexususer1:
Is it just me or 6.7.10 release seems supersmooth and fast even though it's not so much different from the previous versions?
[Nexus S Android Development] joeyddr:
same here the 6.7.9 seemed alot slower than 6.7.10 its very snappy.
[Nexus S Android Development] micha3lvd:
I cannot seem to get my BLN to work =S

Thins i've done so far:

Turn blinking on/off and change parameters..

Clear Cache / Davlik / Fix permissions

Reflash Kernel (6.7.9 + 6.7.10 + 5.2(Pretty sure it worked back then..)

Reflash ROM

Complete wipe: cache/davlik/system/sdcard -> Clean install of Slim Bean 2.9 ROM

init.d script

Other ROM

it's really odd because the app by neldar shows no errors and says everything is running fine.. but I'm not seeing any blacklights turning on when my screen goes off =|

Any other ideas are very welcome..

Still great and smooth kernel but the BLN is killing me xD

Thanks in advance! (oh and thanks for the reply caliban2 & bedalus on previous reply :) )
[Nexus S Android Development] ScOULaris:
I don't know what to believe anymore! The more I use my phone on 6.7.10, the more I'm starting to think that keypress vibrations are, in fact, lessened from before! It's driving me crazy, so I think I'll have to flash an entirely different kernel in order to see if there's a difference.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I know init.d script has a little extra step needed in Slim Bean, you need to check a box somewhere in the settings (can't remember where exactly) so the script runs.

Nevertheless, if you run the commands manually in a terminal either via adb terminal or terminal directly on the phone, it should work.

It's important to know BLN settings were changed from what they used to be in effort to fix the possible BLD/BLN issue. Now you can simply enable it, no settings need to be set, it will not flash but simply stay on.

Command is easy:

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/backlightnotification/enabled

You can also use Script Manager to make a script with different settings run at boot instead of using init.d.
[Nexus S Android Development] micha3lvd:
I've tried this a million of times but it's not doing the trick, even checked with root explorer in that dir and it says 1... so i'm clueless.. even on fresh ROM it's not working :S

PS: i've just noticed that my screen does some strange blinking when I turn it off.. no CRT..
[Nexus S Android Development] ttakacs:
I thought so too except that the moremem is the test version and bed's version matrix shows 6.7.10 adds that 4mb ...
[Nexus S Android Development] BenHeng:
Do you use the 4.2 keyboard? there's an option for setting the vibration lenght. Maybe it is causing the "bug", or maybe it could be the solution to your problem...

as for BLN, I had trouble enabling it and it fixed itself a while ago (flashing BB6 I think)
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
Just a quick question. All of you, that use init.d to enable BLN, you learned to live without notification of missed call, or you learned some trick that I'm not aware of? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] VerminX:
I'm on rasjelly oct28 + 6.7.10 + 4.2 camera & gallery

Everything is working fine.

But I only get 408mem... how come others are pushing 411 & 412 ??
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
What do you mean? I have notification of missed call and BLN at the same time. If I see my phone softkeys are lit up, I know I have something going on so turn the screen on and check what's happening. If the keys are not lit, then I leave my phone alone. BLN saves me time. :)

They're using 6.7.10-extramem for Cyanogenmod 10 based roms. Not the regular 6.7.10
[Nexus S Android Development] jiro-kun:
Omg. I just flashed 6.7.10 from 6.7.6. And i can feel a significant difference. Really happy with it. Fingers crossed. Hopefully no sudden reboot. Thanks alot bedalus! Your kernel rawks!
[Nexus S Android Development] ttakacs:
That is my point. I am running bedalus' 6.7.10-CM kernel and am not getting the extra 4mb on the moremem-CM10 test kernel he released a couple of days ago.
[Nexus S Android Development] ScOULaris:
Thanks! I didn't even realize that that option was there. It was set to 5ms, which resulted in an extremely faint amount of feedback on each button press. So I bumped it up to 25ms, and it feels a lot better now.

I don't think this was kernel related after all. I'm not sure if the 4.2 keyboard defaults at the 5ms setting, but I have a feeling that I was just now noticing how soft it felt.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Ah, this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34051074&postcount=5309

Ah ha! I think the default is 25ms, so you got that right.
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Thanks. At least that tells me my memory is fine. :D

Wonder what Bedalus will be thinking once he gets home from work and reads up... ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] alen1901:
My vibration is the same as before. On 6.7.10cm with 411mb of ram. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
You got that quite wrong :) What I mean is, my buttons don't light up on missed call, only on sms and stuff like that. On missed call, it just won't turn on.

Is MDO Rom based on CM ? (metal dragon overlord)

Sent from my pretty cool Nexus S

Kernel : Marmite v6.7.10 by Bedalus @1096MHz
[Nexus S Android Development] dekaru01:
I thought 6.7.10 was supposed to have 411/412 MB of RAM too. In fact, that's supposedly the only change compared to 6.7.9, as per the info in the version matrix doc. Isn't it?
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Oh mine work fine. I'm not sure what could be wrong here.

No, but I believe you need to use the CM version because of the customization of the ioctl.

That's normal.

No, extramem has 411, normal 6.7.10 has 407.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
The one with the most memory was posted in the thread as an experiment. However, I'm considering making that level of memory available for everyone as an extension of that experiment. It may break stuff on some ROMs. Not until tomorrow though. I'm too tired right now.

@Bedalus

I absolutely love what you did with 1.1Ghz FSB/OC makes such a noticeable difference that it's almost unbelievable.

My CPU had always crashed @ 1.2Ghz I just wished there was 1.1Ghz profile setting every time you had a new release waiting for it forever, and now it's here and it's perfection.

Stable, fast, and really, really well put together. Excellent job thank you for your efforts and anybody who had contributed to make this kernel a gem.

:D:good::good::good::D:good::good::good::D
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Just got a soft reboot with 6.7.9. Euroskank 11-12, no oc as usual. I was casually browsing a wiki style app and sending texts. Screen turned black for a split second and boom to CM animation.

Everything is perfect except video recording for me on 6.7.10, the gallery fc and the video can't be played :o
[Nexus S Android Development] Hawkw1nd:
I just tried the 4.7.10 test kernel with extramem (411 Mb on my CM10 ROM), and the camera records video without FC .
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Don't blame that on the kernel, reboots to bootanim are more likely to be a rom-thing.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
As far as I can tell, soft reboots are not a kernel issue. They don't produce any log. I suppose you could manually reboot after a soft reboot to get a last_kmsg, just to see whether there was any unusual activity.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Is that with the extra memory version? I'm going to upload a new one for everybody to test shortly. What ROM are you on?

I don't think there's any reason not to update now stability is fixed.

-More memory from the camera module.

This is a more experimental build, because I'm pretty sure this will break video in some way for some users. Please feedback which ROM you use and whether you can shoot and playback video, and if youtube works.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Your wait is over!
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Same as 6.7.10-moremem then?
[Nexus S Android Development] dadaz007:

thanks bedalus for your great kernel. I try others kernels sometimes, but yours is the best I think.
[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
this won't help you in any way, but 6.7.10 feels so much slower than 6.7.9 just flashed back. 6.7.11 broke youtube for me, so I didn't test it for long. but 6.7.10 is just sooo slow and laggish after 24h of use. no such problems with 6.7.9. But it's subjective, so don't bother too much. It's just how I feel my phone
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
I'm still waiting for help on my Android OS bug. Still haven't restarted phone, as I want to try and find the problem...
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Maybe if you at least added your ROM it would be a bit more helpful? :p

Your experience is the exact opposite to what others noticed: 6.7.10 being faster than 6.7.9. Vid-related stuff fine. Broken video only one person so far, and it seemed to be a rom-issue iirc. (vid-recording is broken on older kernel as well.

Edit: okay, two persons having problems. ^^

So, right now your basically just saying "it sucks", without providing useful data. It should be interesting for bedalus what exactly reverses your experience by 180°. :)

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

MMC1 - looks like a stuck media scanner on your 2nd screenshot. Try a reboot, fixes it sometimes. But chances are at least one file (probably mp3) is corrupted, bad tag. It's a very old issue of android, if the scanner chokes on a file it doesn't skip it and moves on, but keeps trying indefinitely.

First try a reboot.

Still no good? Try formatting your sd-card (make a backup of your data first, obviously) to rule out bad file-system. If it still fails, you have to find the buggy file(s). Trial and error, sorry. But you could try to rule out bad mp3-tags by updating them via PC. Almost every player has that ability, itunes, winamp, etc.

*mp3 is just the most likely cause, every media-file could be bad.
[Nexus S Android Development] towelboy:
Can I test one without the bigmem? That was not the extra memory version, and I'm on 2.51 paranoid android
[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
@caliban2, i did say it's a subjective thing, an observation. i have not provided my rom, as it hasn't changed for more than 2 weeks now. it's not rom related. it's just that 6.7.9 feels smoother than 6.7.10 for me. same settings, same rom, same everything, just the latter seems to lag so much more after a couple of hours of use.
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Yes, I've seen that. But still, you're getting the exact opposite from the majority. That's always an indication for something being wrong. Question is where, kernel or your sys?

But if you don't want to help figuring it out, what is your intention? Just leaving bad feedback? :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
i do want to help, that's why i am posting. it's just that the only thing that has changed in my phone is the kernel. so if you could be so kind as to tell me what should i provide to aid bedalus in the development of the kernel, i will be happy to oblige.

kernel:6.7.9 marmite stockOta

Rom: rasbeanjelly 11.06.2012

device: crespo 9020T

flashed 6.7.9 when I wrote the first post, and my phone like came back to life. on 6.7.10 it was stuttering alot during transitions, when opening app drawer, in skype, in facebook, in browser, everywhere. now everything is as smooth as ever

EDIT. Forgot to mention that i am OCing on both kernels. 200/1200 with 1350 mV on 1200MHz step for stability. but those settings I was using ever since bedalus introduced OC with OV (i've been testing 400mhz min for some time, thinking it was smoother, but decided later it's not noticable on later kernels)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Nice work. I'll look into this. You might as well go ahead and restart your phone. I expect it will solve it.

Edit: looks like caliban2 is familiar with this issue. If a reboot doesn't fix it, I reckon you need to backup your sdcard content and start by deleting all your mp3s.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I appreciate you're trying to help. Thanks for the detailed report. Bigmem being added shouldn't affect smoothness. I haven't noticed any difference personally, but I'll look out for any lags with more attention now. Anyone else notice this since bigmem was re-added?
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
I don't know rasbeanjelly, but is stock-ota the correct kernel-version for it? Don't think OC is to blame for laggy UI... :p

And why the hell am I spending my free day on xda?!
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
That would be all great, if I hadn't formatted my SD-Card just few days ago, while clean-installing my ROM. I backed up everything to my HDD, and didn't restore any MP3, pictures or anything.... :/ I did quick-format, maybe full format would be better option? Anyway, I still have that feeling that it has something to do with my soft-reboots (which are gone now). Before first soft reboot it worked good, after reboot Android-OS got in front... I'll try rebooting for now, as there's nothing else I could do to help...
[Nexus S Android Development] Hawkw1nd:
I've been running 6.7.11 on CM10 . No problems with video capture & playback, or with YouTube ...
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
Wherever I read, it said to install all-other version, as RasBean ain't OTA but AOSP...
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Wait, you had softreboots and didn't "really' reboot since the last one? In what reality is that a reliable test-setting for anything?! :confused:

[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
it should be the right kernel. i was using slim bean beforehand, and when i switched to rasbean, i was not booting with the other kernels, just the stockOTA ones. thanks to JokerAce for the article, I am reading it, it's interesting. as i said times and times again, my phone is stable, it's not an OC issue. even with stock 100/1000mhz and 1250mV on 1000 I am getting laggy. also, again, it's subjective. I am not saying the kernel is bad. i've been using marmite exclusively. i've tried every other JB kernel and they suck. marmite rocks. it's just that I, myself, don't like the feel of 6.7.10. it may not be kernel, but I am posting here, because since yesterday kernel is the single thing that has changed in my phone. and I am not even complaining, just wanted to let you guys know that there might be something about it.

no hard feelings!
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Try to define "laggy" then. From your previous posts I got the impression it's really deteriorating, going towards "slideshow". :p If it ain't so bad, tried formatting caches and fix permissions already? (The usual voodoo)
[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
at first when I boot with the kernel it is ok, a bit slow to react but after a while, as per usual phone gets slow on transitions and opening apps. with 6.7.10 this is far more noticable, and frankly to me, annoying. on the other hand 6.7.9 was one of the good kernels as of recenly with all the changes. feels fresh for longer periods of times, not just the first 3-4 hours of use.

so to sum up, transition lags, opening stuff is slow on 6.7.10. for instance trying to see running apps takes 10 seconds or more to show, aafter 5-6 hours of use. that is how I usually see if a kernel is holding up good. 6.7.9 even after a day of using opens running apps for around 2-3s. I might have to make a video of what I am saying, because if you don't see it, there is no way to explain it. that's why I said it's subjective. to say it with as little words as possible, the phone seems slow with 6.7.10. try setting your phone on 800mhz max and you'll probably feel how I felt using 6.7.10

edit: i do wipe cache and dalvik every 1-2 kernel flashes, although thalamus said in a post once, that realy does nothing to help. did a fix permissions after flashing 6.7.10 because that was the first thing that came to mind, i thought something wasn't working right

edit2: just flashed 6.7.9 all other roms, and now it works on rasbean. maybe after the recent changes in 11.06.12 when rascarlo added some AOSP features, it's ok to flash other kernels. i'll try 6.7.10 now to see how it goes
[Nexus S Android Development] caliban2:
Try 6.7.11 then, it has more mem (411/412mb). I only used normal 6.7.10 for 2 hours before switching to the memtest-version.

Anyhoo, I get the exact opposite. Phone is smooth even after 20 hours. But can 4mb really make such a difference...?

Regarding thalamus:

He was right, it shouldn't be necessary to clear caches. But it has solved one or the other issue. So just do it. Doesn't take hours... Fix permissions really is voodoo in my eyes, because if it actually fixed them it would mean there was something wrong before flashing a new kernel or bedalus' script in kernel-zip suddenly became faulty. Rather unlikely.
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
Just tried .11 version on latest RasBean. Youtube works, video recording works but after shooting the video, it FC's, but video is saved. Also video playback works. Free memory is 412mb
[Nexus S Android Development] granets:
it's not memory. i don't have lots of apps, usually got like 100mb free at least. 4mb ain't gonna do anything. i am using 6.7.10 all other roms now. seems ok for the moment.maybe something got mixed up in 6.7.10 stockOTA when compiling? and since I am the one of 2 people using it... :Di will report later my findings.

also, noticed benchark results on cpu in rom toolbox is lower with 6.7.10, but that's not important if phone is smooth (12mflops vs. 15-16 with 6.7.9)
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
For those of you who are having this problem this is how I solved it:

Flash the new camera from 4.2 in recovery. Boot the phone. Then reboot to recovery again, wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. Worked for me, YMMV.
