OPEN BETA

This is a very early beta of v6 - built from the new note2 source again. Everything should work

(except the video camera and TW button lights :p)

and I think I have fixed the LAG.

Im still working on the video camera problem with this source (im so close....) but if i cannot fix that I will use the same modifictions on my current 3.0.36 sources, so the final v6 version might change.

Im mostly interested in performance, LAG issues etc etc

Changes:

- Dropped a load of depreciated tweaks

- SLUB instead of SLQB

- VM changes

- initramfs changes

- USB initialiasition changes

Its only the OC kernel in ZIP, download here > http://hecubus.com/xda/kernel/HydraCore/test/GL_HYDRACORE_v6_OC.zip

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
yes it does, and there is no commit on the CM kernel sources GIT to explain why, therefore they must have changed the ROM code to check for something specific.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Elusivo:
I'm using 5.4 extreme and I cannot undervolt the frequencies of 100MHz, 200MHz and 500MHz steps. Using voltage control or setcpu I can change the other frequency steps but for the lower 3 they don't go lower than the default voltage values.

Also the ones that I can undervolt, I get crashes if i put the same low voltages as I did on GB with abyss kernel. Why is that? is it possible the CPU is actually getting fed different voltage with the ICS kernel or is it maybe cause of having less frequency steps compared to abyss the voltage jumps are bigger and cause instability?

Hi,

Using 5.4 and AOKP ICS m6 the vibrate function doesn't work. (more precisely, it works but so poorly it can hardly be felt.)

This is kernel-specific because it works with the kernel that comes with AOKP.

Can you look into it pls?

Hi Gavin, after 2 hours of use open beta 6, I'm on classic Rom 6 LR9, TW, until now, no lag, I've got over 200 app's installed. GPS, WiFi, 3g/HSDPA, button lights, phone, all works well.

Thanks for excellent work :good: thanks a lot :cheese:

Installed v6beta on CleanNote 6.

I have more smoothness and speed using pegasusq governor, sio scheduler and vfs cache pressure = 90.

Also games like Virtua Tennis are more smooth and fast.

Placebo?

Could someone else give a try and report difference, if any?

To do it I use Romtoolbox.

After 6 hours with v6beta (LRT, group B):

Everything I tried works flawlessly (gps, bt, mtp, mhl, usb host, cameras, various software, ...), except of course whatever relates to sound recording (stock voice recording, stock video, as well as stock FM radio recording,...)

Absolutely no lags, even immediately after exiting applications using heavily cpu/gpu (as opposed to v5.4).

Kernel based on 3.0.31 is measurably quite smoother that 3.0.36 (and 3.0.15). Now, is it worthwhile for Gavin to spent some more time to resolve sound recording issues ? I'd like to, but he has already done much more than I ever expected from a kernel. So, he knows...

YOUR BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEMS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KERNEL

IF YOU NEED SUPPORT WITH BATTERY DRAIN SOLUTIONS, HEAD TO THIS THREAD AND

Hydracore v6 rock stable and back to 4.3 level og battery usage. I am on nightly CM10 and have tried all the on the same install. V 5.3 is not as good (like CM10 stock) ... v6 rocks!

Not sure I agree with the above statement as my findings are that battery drain is vastly different when changing kernel, again, not changing the nightly.

:eek:

Upgraded to v6 when I was on the yellow timeline (just below tt in battery).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:

Use Cpu Spy app to know what kernel you are using and the real time temp provided for cpu and board inside the kernel name. I don't trust the about value under settings, the update rate was always slow and now it's not working. This app also shows the correct time spent in each freq and deep sleep %

Very useful in conjunction with better battery stats app.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cinciopillo:
Mmmmmm...

I suppose you're right, Ok?

Could you please explain then why after flashing v6beta I noticed more battery drain and flashing back v5.3 OC bring back the usual battery drain?

The difference could be in the AudioInLock wakelock: almost absent before, and responsible of almost 85% of wakelocks after the installation of v6beta.

If battery drainage changes when only kernel has changed, how can we avoid to think that kernel matters?

More, with v5.4 OC and v6beta, my Note doesn't go in deep sleep mode.

With v5.3 OC and all previous Gavin's Kernel versions, it deep sleeps like a baby.

So, again, are you sure that Kernel doesn't matter?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Denkov:
I didn't try v6beta but with v5.4OC everything is ok. Deep sleep is perfect! Same with previous versions. So, where is the problem? For me it is not the kernel.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cinciopillo:
Please take a look to what I wrote...

I've said that MY NOTE (not your) is unable to go in deep sleep mode.

I didn't say that it is a general problem.

I was pointing that often is easy to think that kernel is the culprit, because it is the only thing that changes. And flashing back a previous versions solve "the problem".

For you kernel doesn't matter but you are unable to give a different reason.

So, why do you waste your time writing this kind of useless posts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] routey:

Hi mates,

For those having trouble with no deep sleep state,

Here a 90% working solution on TW based roms (never tried on cm or aosp) :

Just untik the 3 cases in system preferences / sound ,

Reboot then give it some time to sleep and check it with cpu spy,

See attached file.

Good luck.

Thanks Gavin!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:
I'll explain myself.

What is kernel?

In a few words: changing kernel without clean install can affect the performance, battery consumption, etc. Different kernel version (new sources, tweaks) vs /data & /system with previous configs may indeed affect the performance. Especially, when we're talking about experimental kernel with a source, changed almost daily, when we're talking about roms, having new blobs/drivers/whatever almost daily...

And you answered your question yourself - if you changed kernel only, your /system and /data config are perfectly compatible with v5.3, but have problems with 5.4 and 6.0. You can submit your problem only after clean install.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Denkov:
I wrote my post, because you think, that there is problem with the kernel, which is not true. Go to the thread with the deep sleep issue. I have done this some weeks ago and since that I never have problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
Saying that it isn't a Kernel problem needs loads of critical assessment. This kernel is known to throw up something new and undesirable every release.

Also as he rightly mentions, he didn't change the ROM, only the kernel. So how in the world can it be a ROM issue?

We all appreciate the work being done here but it doesn't mean being a blind sycophant.

Agreed some users tend to go overboard in reporting issues that are purely user initiated. But that doesn't mean we dismiss each and every opinion in the same way.

Hate me for saying this if you want, but I'll still be honest - these problems of thread clutter and petty arguments wouldn't arise if the developer spent some more time testing things out internally. Releasing new versions till the English Alphabet runs out, though appreciated is simply not a practical thing to do.

Test as much as you can. Even if it takes longer than usual. But dont release stuff with more things not working than working and then blame users for complaining.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cinciopillo:
My Note is already configured like that.

Deep sleep come back after a reboot.

But sometimes go away again for unknown reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nelthalin:
I wanna say i like this kernel a lot! I'm now using the 4.3b and so far its working very nice. I'm using it on Utacha ParaAndroid.

I use this version because i need the video cam :) i will switch to v6 as soon as that is resolved.

I only have 2 issues atm: 1: GPS is not working smooth. Its quite inaccurate. But that can also be Rom related so i'm looking into that.

And the biggest problem is charging speed. It charges very slow on my car charger so slow that when i use Navigation the battery will drain a few % per hour. I had the same problem with alle CM9 and CM10 roms they use different charge speeds compared to TW roms.

The Banned Thor kernel had the option to set the charge speeds you wanted with the Voltage Control app in the market.

I hope something like that could be added to this kernel in the future :)

But keep up the good work! its a nice kernel to work with!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cinciopillo:
Oh, that's clear!

Thank you.

So, teorically, it would need a clean install every new kernel.

Wiping cache + dalvik + fixing permissions isn't enough because of data.

Does let the Note settle solve?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fards:
once upon a time the development section of this site was that.for development, for people who know what they are doing and willing to push their devices.

you weren't allowed to party at all in development unless you had something worthwhile to contribute.

unfortunately there's been more and more pandering to idiots who don't know what they are doing and don't want to learn, so we end up in this kind of predicament.

don't blame the developer for wanting people in the development section to test stuff.

but hey this is why so many developers have left xda over the years
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] letters_to_cleo:
just want to say one thing... releasing updates, 2 or 3 updates in one week is not beneficial, that is just in my own opinion. It's just like playing a cat and mouse thing.. every updates comes, fixes the previous bugs but opens up new unforeseen bugs again....

My take gavin, hold your reins, tone it down and take it down slow... if you wanna release updates.. release it on a timely manner... when I say timely, I mean let it subside and cool down your update first before you release another one...

If you want to roll a next update? then make it BIG ONE.. a big update that fixes all the issues on the current update you have...

That would be something that people would be looking forward soon.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ahalford:
May be...just try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Whiskeyjack4855:
I think gavin said that he has kept the charging speed slow so that the phone doesn't overheat
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nelthalin:
Aha. But still TW does charge fast and thats samsung own implementation. That would surgest Samsung is pushing the limits.

I know some chargers are not detected well and then USB charge speed is used. Samsungs rom is less picky. And i think it uses higher charge values. UV does help quite a bit here. But my battery is stil draining slowly.

I got one more char charger i will also try that one. Maybe that one will charge faster. But i know this charger works well with Samsung roms and with CM9 roms + Thor kernel where i can set my charge speed to 850 or if i want 100mah.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Well i guess then there will be people complaining its taking to long before new updates come out. Its alway's something people will complain about.

I dont mind devs going fast or slow. In case of a fast def you can vind extra bugs but you have fast updates for bugs aswell.

And you dont have to test every update a def posts. You can alway's wait and see what others that do want to test find. If reports are good then update.

Defs make these things for us in there free time. We dont pay them to do this work.

We can do sugestions and hope that dev's implement things we like to see. But then again they cannot please everybody. There are so many different opinions.

I think we should not complain to much and if you dont like the work of a def just dont use it then and look for something else. Again they do this for free. And i find it awesome that people make stuff like this. It really improves my note experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thoriig:
Using v6 beta with stock lrt. Used jbroid kernel script before.

So far it is the smoothest kernel i ever used on a 7000. Great work. No deep sleep problems. Normal battery usage (~50% per day). Better then 4.3 or 5.4

Bugs: no new bugs. Just video and call recording. Gps working normally.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] letters_to_cleo:
I don't think you get my point... fast updates comes fast fixes BUT it also welcomes unknown new bugs again. It's already been a trend eversince the early time of this thread...and that TREND keeps on going and going and going.. it never stops... like ball that keeps on spinning and spinning..

if you don't believe me.. then read the entire thread from start down to the last page.. you can sense that every time Gavin releases a fresh new version (from the old one) then two or more would complain again of some bugs they're experiencing... and yet Gavin can't discern what's causing it because it's not happening on his end.. get my drift?? the endless barrage of complains never ends unless you take time to sit down.. wait, collect all issues at hand... fix it and then release it in a major BIG update.

Don't get me wrong... I know Gavin and most of our devs here are working this for free... and I'm not taking this away from them... I am merely suggesting the fact on what's wrong with the TREND and why this people keeps on coming and coming for more complains and asking for answers....

Feed the lion in bits and parsels... then he becomes more hungrier than ever... BUT if you feed him the entire BIG slab of meat... he becomes quiet already.

v6 Open Beta Report

ROM: Stock LRT Kernel: Hydracore v6 Open Beta (Voltage Group B)

Test length: 12 hours, no reboot.

Install method: CWM Recovery from Hydracore v4.3b with no wipes.

For the test I intended to run with purely default values that Gavin had set in his kernel out-of-the-box. However, it spontaneously rebooted soon after first boot - this was an issue with the CPU voltage app I was using (CPU Tweaks) which reported way too low voltages for some of the CPU frequencies. This was odd as I'd set the app to not to do anything automatically following a reboot.

After the forced reboot/crash, the voltages reset to more reasonable (I assume default) values and there have been no problems with stability. I ran the kernel for 12 hours without reboot and tested it in "real-world" scenarios such as running Dead Trigger several times, using the stock browser, taking a few photos with the camera and of course the xda app. The more workload intensive actions were ones that made v5.4 slow down intermittently, but v6 took them all well.

The only time there was any hint of lag was when I'd plugged it in to charge and the YouTube app did its fancy preloading video in the background via wifi as I was using the device. The device returned to smooth running after YouTube finished its business.

Bugs: Apart from the known ones, my experience is similar to joyo22's (who was running a different ROM). There may be a possible issue with wifi hotspot - the service would run on the Note but when my Windows 7 PC tried to connect with it, it would invariably fail to connect (even after resetting and checking the security keys were identical).

I had to revert to Hydracore v.4.3b after the 12 hour run as I needed certain functions on the phone for work, but v6 looks very promising. :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nelthalin:
I did not get you wrong :)

I just wanted to point out you have mutiple way's of doing it. Maybe Gavin likes this way more then making a hoge update once every 2 months.

I think i rather have slower updates with more testing then fast updates. But i can also see the advantages of fast updates.

And i can inmagine that Gavin cant test everyting. Its a kernel for CM, TW and original android. There are so many different roms out there. and also a lot of different modem versions. You cant test everything by yourself.

I can imagine its importend that the community helps with testing to point out the issues when using different roms so they can be located better.

So dont get me wrong and i do agree with your. But it takes up a lot of time from a def.

Open Beta v6 beta 2

Features

- Fixed AOKP "performance options" CPU sliders :)

- Hybrid Note2 / 3.0.36 kernel

- Note2 MMC/SD card drivers with new caching feature (made safe, of course)

- All fixes / performance improvements from Beta 1

- initramfs refined a little more

- Some new tweaks not implemented since notecore 14

- Possibly, maybe, fixed TW button lights with a huge thanks to PHJZ for his patch :D -

these need testing folks!

The Note2 MMC drivers are what is responsible for the performance boost seen on the 3.0.31 kernel, thought I may as well grab them :D
