Pb with cwm nandroid backup

I'm actually,on v8.1ex, on a stock 4.0.4 lrg stock rom, where everything works perfectly (wifi reconnect/touchscreen, windows 7 pc usb connection, bt, usb otg, mhl, camera, antutu=7900+, normal battery drain, no freezes, SODs or things like that, etc, etc).

However, since v7, I have noticed twice that when carrying a nandroid backup under cwm, the file system of the backup folder on my external Sandisk 32 Gb 10x card was corrupted (folder size=0.9GB instead of the normal 1.8GB, impossible to delete folder, error messages on file system when connecting as usb storage to my pc and carrying chkdsk). Some other times nandroid backup is ok...

Gavin, have you got any idea on what may be happening ? Are I/O tweaks of this kernel too aggressive and sometimes the nandroid backup fails, is it because of the "ex" version, or is it simply my external SD card which becomes faulty ? Notice that I never had this problem with CF kernels and that windows 7 disk tools suggest that my card is ok.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] rosco385:
There was an earlier version that caused sdcard corruption (I forget which), but I for one haven't experienced anything like that since.

Thanks for quick reply

Thanks for quick reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
That's the thing... I already have, lol.

Oh well... seems that it doesn't show up anymore right after cleaning cache, but it comes back when rebooting the phone/recovery and so on... Not really an issue, anyway. Thanks :)

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

So... with V8.1, whatever it was that caused the corruption of SD card... is gone? Cause I just bought an SD card yesterday, haha.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
long gone mate, that was like v2 or something.

Try formatting the card using windows/mac/linux

connect in USB mode

format as FAT32 16k block size

some preformatted cards dont play nice with android
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Peter Unger:
Just installed it and works good :)

...but one problem so far: If i try to access apps i buyed in playstore i get the price shown and an error if i want to load them.

Update: Fixed it by deleting the market settings with Titanium and restarting again :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] routey:
+1 to that... My whole phone data was corrupted then...lost all my photos as I didn't have a backup

Been running V8.1 since release with no problems at all... Even dead trigger is running super smooth on the highest settings
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
F*CK!

I formatted it with my phone (FusionROM V2.5 w/ NoteCore 8.1 EX. Should I really format it with Windows? It's a class 4, fwiw.

I think you're ok, haha.

EDIT - hope no offense taken, none intended, just couldn't resist
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
its worth a try - might not make any difference, but lest assume the lack of "MY SD CARD ISNT WORKING YOU ****" posts meands that for everyone, its not an issue:confused:

Is this your first flash of my kernels? you aware to remove all init.d scrips that might set SD card readahead? SD card readahead is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad for performance on these kernels :good:

EDIT

lolhahahahaha

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
Anyone want to help me out with maybe a couple hours of effort?

Specifically, one or two people whos phones CANNOT handle the extreme version

Since there are some of you whose phones cant handle 1600mhz in the extreme edition I shall assume that your individual units are the least tolerant out of the users of this kernel.

If you would be happy to take the time to do it, would you install tegrak and try to find me the lowest stable voltages for all the frequency levels up to 1400mhz?

testing with antutu/quadrant and maybe a bit of nova 3/gta3 would be a suitable bench test for stability - maybe a few runs on each?

Try lowering 25mv at a time and let me know

You can auslo use tegrak to limit the top speed of the phone all the way down to the minimum so you can accurately test each level without scaling going on

- Lowest *almost* stable voltage per frequency

- Lowest *stable* voltage voltage per frequency

You assistance would be appreciated, and remember this could lead to significant battery life gains for everyone who uses both kernels :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hchxoom:
Gavin - some time back, in either this or your rom thread, you gave some advice on how to truly completely clean and reset our devices for fresh install... a note enema, I guess. I thought I'd bookmarked it, but can't find it. Can you point me to that post?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ronfsp:
Is there a updated clearnote kingdroid mix build.prop mod since Clearnote is updated to 4.0?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Xda909:
Freq - almost stable - stable

1500 Mhz - 1,225 - 1,250

1600 Mhz - 1,275 - 1,300

1664 Mhz - 1,350 - 1,350

1704 Mhz - 1,425 - ---------

Btw. GPU min voltage für 400 MHz is 1.0V but for the 267 Mhz (or even 300) step is much headroom. My note can do 267 Mhz gpu @ 0.825V fine (if the setting worked correctly on Abyss note 4.2).

Anybody here with the same problem:

After Upgrading v3.1 to v8.0 (now v8.1 but same issue) my phone doesn't find my ringtones in /media/audi/notifications etc. anymore. With v3.1 it worked fine. ROM is the same (RR v7).

V8.1 EX on LPF, very good except screen freezes when playing heavy gunner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
then switch to standard. you realise EX is an overclocked kernel right? meaning not every phone can handle it? as it states in the op:eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PetrSoap:
Fastest kernel 8.1 is best up to now

So fast and finally since Franco r.5 I got back my antutu score close to 7775, and quadrant 4700 uhuuuuu

BETA KERNEL

For experienced users only please - dont flash if your new to this kernel or flashing in general. Noob questions or comments regarding the BETA kernel will be ignored. You have been warned

BETA 8.2

- Reduced overall voltages accross every frequency both CPU and GPU

- Tweaked VM readahead (this IS different to sd card readahead - its actually kernel code) to 256k max, 32k min from default of 128/16

Make sure you do a full nandroid before you install, and have the ODIN version of whatever 8.1 variant you are currently using handy incase you get no boot / no recovery and have to use download mode - there is no risk to data/emmc, just no boot risk due to the lower voltages

Only flash the variant of the kernel you are currently using

Let me know on stability please!

Standard - http://hecubus.com/xda/kernel/test/GL_NOTECORE_V8-2_BETA.zip

Extreme - http://hecubus.com/xda/kernel/test/GL_NOTECORE_V8-2_BETA_EX.zip

EDIT if you get non crashing freezes try upping the 500mhz cpu voltage to 900

Dear Gavin,

These are my lowest & stable voltage tested by stock voltage -25mv step by step.

Based on your kernel & tegrak.

Every frequence's voltage setting are tested by Antutu at least 3 turns. These voltage settings worked very stable (my daily usage for several days), no SoD no reboot no FC.

CPU:

1600 MHz, 1250 mv

1500 MHz, 1200 mv

1400 MHz, 1150 mv

1200 MHz, 1050 mv

1000 MHz, 975 mv

800 MHz, 900 mv

500 MHz, 875 mv

200 MHz, 800 mv

GPU:

400 MHz, 1000 mv

267 MHz, 875 mv

200 MHz, 775 mv

Thank you for your great kernel and your effort!

My SD card seems to be working quite fine. Class 4 was about 13 EUR, while the class 6 was 0.5 EUR more expensive. but out of stock. Like a bastard I am, I couldn't wait until the second day, so I bought the class 4 :rolleyes: .

Aaaanyway... all's well so far. But yeah, I'll format it using USB Format, and allocate 16 KB block size or whatever it's called :D .

Erm... I own the Note since two fridays ago, and using your kernel since last monday :D . So no, I ain't really a novice into this sort of thing anymore. I remember my knees were hitting each other at 1000 rpm and my teeth were crashing the skull with 10000 kgf first time I heard about the brick bug, now I hardly give a f***, lol.

I've seen some hype going on about the init.d and scripts and such... I have no idea whether there are such scripts on Fusion ROM. What do you suggest? That I clear the init.d folder? Will that remove all possible scripts that the ROM creator might have added?

You don't usually say that...

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH GAVIN?!

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

What's that clock? I suppose it's Beautiful Widgets or something similar... name of the skin, please? :D

And... what launcher are you using?

And... what's that widget in the right, showing L1 L2 L3 etc...?

And... that would be all :D

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

The EX versions have the CPU ramped up to 1.6 GHz (as opposed to 1.4 GHz stock), and also the GPU is overclocked, too. So... higher temperatures are normal, I suppose, since the voltage is increased, too. My Note is getting hot during usage, anyway... :(

Guess I'll switch back to standard version soon, and see how that goes...

Still not sure what's the max freq the GPU goes up to in the standard version. Still waiting for someone to shed some light on that. :)

Yeah, that's a request, haha :D

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Flash Sybr Kernel Cleaning Script, THEN flash the kernel. Also, I'd suggest trying the standard version first - the EX(treme) version isn't working fine on EVERY Note out there...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
:good:

You amuse me lol

Max gpu on standard is 267
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
So, I'm trying to format my external SD card with Windows.

File system : FAT32 (default).

I can also choose exFAT. Should I choose that one?! Would it work? I'd like to switch to exFAT if possible. Who wouldn't, haha...

Allocation unit size : the default one that was selected was 32 kilobytes. You told me earlier to put it to 16?!

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

So I'm never going back to standard again. I don't want Pocket Legends to lag again :D .

Woah... from 267 to 400 MHz... that's a big jump. The GPU on the Galaxy Nexus could go as high as 512 MHz, but games would lag, whereas on the slower GPU of the Note, they don't lag...

The GPU is the same as on the Galaxy S2... SILLY ME. I already knew the values, lolol. Just remembered now -.-

(I am limited to 8 thanks a day :rolleyes: )

Thx it works now!

Just another one question, what is the best and performant scheduler?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
Not sure. But I believe Gavin already set the best as default, so better leave it like that :) .

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Guys... I want to make sure the ROM I am using (Fusion ROM) is clean of scripts and stuff... So please help me out!

I already experienced one... not sure what it was, but I pressed the home button, and saw the screen isn't coming on. Pressed the power button... nothing. Two seconds later, it looked like AOSP ICS startup after dalvik cache wipe (message "Start applications" on screen). Then, ES File Explorer (requiring root) was displaying a black image... and I had a hard time getting out of it. Same goes for Superuesr (I was expecting that was the guilty one).

Force rebooted the phone... let it with the screen off for a minute... all's well now.

Anyway, that lets me think there may be scripts or stuff in the ROM that is interfering with the kernel, like Gavin said, for example, SD readahead buffers and stuff...

So... how to clean? :)

I'm using ES File Explorer (with root rights, so it's all good).

In the / folder (the very root of the phone, I believe), beneath all folders, there are some files named init, init.goldfish.rc, init.rc, init.smdk4210.rc, init.smdk4210.usb.rc... do I have to delete those?

Also, where is the init.d folder? I heard that one must be deleted to make sure everything's clean...

Please, help me out here :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] drakal:
Ok, so everytihing is broken, AGAIN. Every time i reboot into recovery i'm stuck at boot. And i have to flash abussnote, wipe and restore...

I think it's problem with CWM, please do a kernel with old recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
If everyone had that problem it would be all over the thrwad. dont use abyss kernel to wipe your phone...use cwm as supplied hy this kernel to wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Duckboot:
Just a tip that has worked wonders for me: ext4 on external card. Never had a problem with it, and very good performance. Ofc it's a class 10, so that could a major factor. Anyways, I'm running 8.2 EX beta. So far it behaves quite good. Only had a single freeze just a couple of minutes after flashing it. It seems like my Note is enjoying anything I throw at it. Good work Gavin.

To all of you who have problems - think a moment about this:

Your device is tested and is certified to work on the Stock Firmware. Flashing new kernels, modems, roms and other non-stock modifications, you basically test your devices limit, and hence must expect the occasional failure. I know that I atleast know that whenever I flash something non-stock, I'm prepared to start all over again, from scratch.

For f***'s sake! What the hell is going on :/

Fusion ROM v2.5 + 8.1 EX... phone rebooting all by itself ("Start applications" message)... now it's stuck at boot animation !

Flashing CleaNote :) .

-----

So... how should I format the SD card? 16 kilobytes allocation size... or default (which is 8192 bytes, I believe)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hereu:
Gavin, was there a speed optimisation on 8.1 EX over 8 EX or were things more "stabilised" to solve problems ?

After a few hours my benchmarks are...

8 EX...Q 5187 Au 7558 (CleaNote 3.10)

8.1 EX.Q 4935 Au 7588 (CleaNote 4)

All pretty close and nothing in it but I'd say 8 EX felt a bit more slick between the screens than 8.1 EX.

I'm probably just imagining it though :cyclops:

Not bothered about the boot animations as I only reboot to flash :eek:

Maybe an Atari one would be cool!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kinky-chinky:
As far as I know, Android does not natively recognise exFAT filesystem. Not sure if there is an app that will mount an exFAT formatted SDcard.

8.1 just seen 8.2 Beta is out! wow can someone test the stuff that crased with 8.1 written below?

thx

Damn good kernel!

Super fast but still sometimes crashes (EX version)

After fresh installs, too with full wipes

8.1 EX Problems:

GTA3 no sound and gets till the woman shoots the main character (10sec)

Vellamo benchmark (at sunspider Test)

Nenamark2 stops after a few sec but sound continues

-Note becomes just unresponsive to any action

can someone please chick this out even with non ex and older kernels... thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] elevul:
Guys, 8.2 is still BETA. Think 10 times before flashing...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Flyer.michael:
No problems with 8.1 (NON EX) older EX versions have same problems (just tested)

Other benchmarks and games can run forever so its something in the ex version thats not compatible with some apps/software
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
um, no

if you read the OP (and some of this thread)

EX wont work properly on every phone, as its an overclocked kernel. If you get crashes, EX is not for you.

The ONLY difference between the two versions is the frequency table. Thats it. Nothing else. If you looked at the source you would see that.

and dont flash the BETA, its obviously not for you

There are many, many, many users who run EX all day every day without issues, including me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
it would also help if we know what ROM you are using:eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Flyer.michael:
Other than these apps I have no issues whatsoever. even tried

stability test each test for around 30 mins on EX no problems

as all the other benchmarks and games and daily usage :)

just thos two are suddenly stuck:

NenaMark2

and

Vellamo

strange...

hmm so ill stick with EX cause there are no ther problems so far... thank you

btw using Kingdroid V6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
I've been running on EX for the last three days, on Fusion ROM V2.5. Today, it suddenly started to act up : when I tried to wake the phone, after two seconds, the screen comes on with "Start applications", like I just rebooted the phone running AOSP ICS. Then it begins to hangs and all that...

I guess it handled 1.6 GHz on the CPU and 400 MHz on the GPU for a couple of days, then the chipset got damaged (if that's even possible) or just couldn't take it anymore (again, if that's even possible).

Anyway... I'm done with formatting my class 4 SD card (finalleh). Copying files over now... Will flash CleaNote w/ NoteCore 8.1 EX and see how that goes. Also, will flash Kimi's ICS theme, hope that doesn't interfere negatively with the ROM... :) fingers crossed :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] elevul:
I seem to have random freezes issues with the EX version. Now went back to normal and will keep testing to see if freezes disappeared completely or not.

Kinda strange, though, since EX works wonders most of the time, even with demanding applications, then all of a sudden freeze on a random application.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
Yeah... so far, only the Galaxy S3 natively supports exFAT (lucky bastards!!!).

I'm hoping exFAT will hit us soon... :D

Always same problem, when reboot i have bootloop or bootstuck and i have to restore backup to fix this (flash other kernel doesn't work)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
no, it sets the kernel source code filesystem readahead globally for all paritions of any type and any name.

Anything more than 256kb is silly
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
dont worry it isnt damaged (the voltage set for 1.6ghz is still well within the exynos 4 safe values)

What is happening is the CPU (unique to your device) is not getting quite enough voltage. It will work fine for x amount of time, but then a tiny blip occurs in the chip and a register value gets written wrongly, overwritten, flipped (etc) and then the program craps out.

And for the other question - I might be able to enable exFAT but what is the advantage? honestly i have not looked into it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
i think long ago some other members had this on RRv7 and the resolution was ditching the init.d scripts.

Im sure someone else on that rom will let you know :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Flyer.michael:
So far I need +50mv more on each level

GPU the same as you

BUT

GPU on Tegrak (pro) I can only adjust 2 Frequencies not 3, like you

Still JUST Nenemark2 crashes and Vellamo on sunspider... confusing

Hmm is the NON EX version overclocable with Tegrak?

Could try to overclock this one and see if Nenamarc and Vellamo are still causing problems
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
i gurantee you is you use the standard version and overclock it using tecgrak to the same voltages and frequencies that come with EX you will have exactly the same issue. some phones need more voltages than others to be stable
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Flyer.michael:
Will flash your ROM now... try voltages there

Will stay with overclocked GPU

cause I need for aspalt 7 GTA3 and other Games the faster GPU :)

playing and benchmarking for hours today

So far NO crashes or problems (except those 2 apps) Nenamark2 -Marketlink + Vellamo - marketlink

I just won´t install those 2 apps ;)

Maybe both could work as a test, if Note is 100% compatible with EX -

even with no other issues like my Note

Will report tomorrow what voltages are working with your ROM

BTW why can I only adjust 2 GPU setting and not 3 like the other guy i quoted before?

I have only a max and min friequency, not a third (middle) frequency to adjust the voltage
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Formhault:
Then that's what I meant... I just wasn't able to formulate it as good as you did, English sir :D .

God damn, this chipset is almost as fast as my laptop's :/ . If it can run Unreal Tournament 99 fine... then it's exactly as good as my laptop, haha.

exFAT enables files over 4GB to be transfered/stored. You know, on FAT32, you cannot copy a video file of, say, 6GB. On exFAT, you can. AWESOME :D
