I managed to get the camera issue, but not in the way you described it. I seem to have some sort of an intermittent problem. About 25% of the photos I shot FCed the Camera app. Also, the photo taken becomes black because of that.

Another thing that I noticed is that this happens with the default Camera app. I tried installing Camera ICS from the market and I didn't get any FCs.

Look in the. Config for v6 and use the memory allocation values given to all the FIMC parts for your builds. That will fix camera issues :)

Use a program to compare the two configs and you will see straight away
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] coincoin4ever:
Hello Gavin,

First thank your for your awesome work :D

I took a little look at your sources, I diff and have seen that either MALI_GPU_UTILIZATION_TIMEOUT or the dvfs threshold in video mali driver was the cause of the issue cause I just compiled it and it work perfectly now with the video camera !

Hope this will work for others, I just had time to compile the STD version. I would give the OC version tomorrow it s time to go to bed or maxfu will ^^

@maxfu look at drivers/media/ I just reverted mali_kernel_utilization.c and mali_platform_dvfs_XX.c. Waiting tomorrow to see your modifications and the camera issue fix :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
I saw the value has changed from 1000 to 400 in v7. So you are sure that this will fix the camera? Both The freeze after a shot and the video issues?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
I put both of your work together, and the camera fixed. While I think it is the problem of the memory allocation. Maybe not quite related with the timeout settings. I will try another one with the timeout set back to 400.

BTW, I found an odd phenomenon of the vibration of v7 (I kept v7 motor driver this time). After I switched from v6.2B3 to v7, the vibration kept good for several miniutes and even good after a reboot. But some more minutes (like 10) later, the vibration went weak and unchangeable. Any idea?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
Yea. That's the vibration issue that's been encountered with that driver... The vibrator motor loses power as system run time advances, haha.

Why not keep the old driver?

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
The old driver works. But in AOSP ROMs, the strength of the vibration will be unalterable. I need to find the reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] coincoin4ever:
Thanks I think it is not related with the timeout too didn't have time to try I will give a shot today.

I can take videos and read them with default player and can take pictures without freeze.

I do not have the vibration issue you are mentioning. No clue I use chimera 3.0.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
You said the vibration became weak 10 minutes later........ How does that mean it works?

Oh. It works. It just doesn't work well. :p

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
The old driver works, strong enough. But the strength is unalterable on AOSP like CM.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

I can confirm that it is not related with the timeout setting. Meanwhile smaller timeout can make the scaling of the GPU faster which means you get higher frequency quicker.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] br54:
Love this kernel, any way of updating the CWM to the latest ver 6.0.1.9? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
And the strenght IS alterable on AOSP with the newer driver? Cause it didn't seem like it is :D when I used SlimBean, which is 4.1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
I think it is better to have the old one. Usability is more important than alterability.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

It is beyond my ability.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
I know. But I thought you were attempting (or willing to do so) to implement the newer driver, without breaking functionality (to make alternability work).

So... bottom line...

V6.23 = works fine; but vibration intensity cannot be changed in AOSP ROMs.

V7 = doesn't work fine on TW; but vibration intensity CAN be changed in AOSP ROMs?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
I think so, according to the description in OP.

My forth compilations.

Here came my forth compilations.

Features:

1. Based on v7 source code.

3. Camera and Camcorder Bug BUSTED

4. Three step GPU frequencies on both STD and OC version. On STD, there are 100, 160 and 267Mhz while 160 267 and 400Mhz on OC. All frequencies have the lowest voltage I could ever find.

5. A and B groups CPU under-volt on both STD and OC versions. Both STD and OC have 100Mhz lowest frequency. The newest voltage table is the result of MIN Excel tricky on v4.3, v5.1, v5.3, v6, v7 and NoteCore v14.1 voltage tables.

6. Aggressive MinFree memory management.

6. MIUI GPS Bug BUSTED

7. Vibration driver from v6. Still unalterable on AOSP, but usable on both AOSP and TW.

Work In Progress

1. TW JB initramFS files ported and testing. Still can NOT boot on TW JB, do NOT try this time.

2. exFAT support. Found the module, but can NOT load.

3. Nore strict vendor check logic to avoid boot issue on CM/AOSP roms with TW files (Samsung Apps etc.) patched on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
So you undervolted the GPU even more than Gavin did?

Explain, please. I thought Gavin already did everything there was possible to undervolt. Did you manage to undervolt it even more, without losing stability etc.? :D

Why? I thought it was problematic in the past... :-?

That would be FREAKING AWESOME !

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

Oh and Maxfu, another question...

Gavin's compilations are like 5 MB in size. Yours are around 9 MB... Why so big? :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maxfu:
I just find the the lowest voltages through various source codes. These voltages should be OK for the corresponding frequency. So far so good.

Same answer as the GPU one. I just looked for the lowest voltage for each frequency in each group. All these voltages were used in the past HrdraCore or NoteCore kernels, should be OK. So far so good.

My settings are not aggressive like SuperCharge. So far so good.

It is ko module from another kernel. I am still trying to make it work here.

Was v7 only 5MB? The TAR is this size. But the ZIP contains the libs so it is bigger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techneut:
All the Note kernel ZIPs have always been around 9.1 MegaBytes!

And thank you very much, Maxfu, for your much appreciated work.

For this moment, you certainly are the best.

Is it possibile to add a lower first step to 100Mhz in the OC version too?

We could have 100, 160, 267 and 400 Mhz....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
This guy's got a point.

But only if there are (graphical processing) tasks which require 100 instead of 160 (no matter how easy they would be)... otherwise, adding an extra step would mean slower scaling for nothing.

What's your opinion on this, maxfu?

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

I see.

/me has no idea what you're talking about. I mean I know what SuperCharge is, but I still haven't discovered why it would be of use on devices that have more than, say, 256 MB of RAM.

Aggressive MinFree = how much RAM has to be occupied in order for it to start cleaning out itself?

Not V7, I don't know. But V4.3b is only 5 MB :p . Maybe it's because from V5 onwards, Gavin switched from TW source to CM source (which may be bigger?).

I don't think the Exynos (4, at least) has dedicated video memory. That's why the 1 GB is shared across the system.

One thing that would be awesome is true shared memory. Meaning... 64 MB dedicated for the video, at all times, and whenever needed, allocating additional memory for the video on-the-go, you know...

Dear Maxfu

Thanks for the Hydracore mod. I installed it for 8 hrs now on my GT-N7000 .

Nice kernel, no problems and very good battery live (Battery 100% to 72% in 8 hrs).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
Maxfu... What governor and scheduler did you set as default? I'm having a hard time discovering (the DEFAULT) :/

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Maxfu_HydraCore_V7.2B1 : total RAM = 846 MB

Maxfu_HydraCore_V7.5 : total RAM = 746 MB (large RAM for the GPU)

Gavin_HydraCore_V7 : total RAM = 874 MB (small RAM for the GPU)

With your latest compilation, intense games like Arcane Legends lag a bit, where they didn't lag before (say, with HydraCore V4.3b). Even with HydraCore_V7, which appears to have the lowest GPU RAM allocation, Arcane Legends doesn't lag.

By lag I mean slight stuttering. Don't expect I'm talking about a major drop in frame rate... no... just slightly lower performance than before.

Maxfu, maybe your new method to scale the GPU frequencies is harming the performance. :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] travis82:
if he dropped the gpu clock speed down to say 160 yea. Max just a question for you anyways to test gpu speeds say set at 300mhz first step second step 400mhz with a bit of undervolting?

With the latest kernel I'm not seeing benefits with the additional video memory allocation. Device feels a bit sluggish overall and I end up with low memory situations requiring a reboot. My friend with iPhone 5 laughed about the sluggishness whch wasn't as bad with the previous kernel. There is a noticeable lag entering text in the browser and UI isn't as smooth.
