Smartassv2 doesn't have a hard-coded screen off max. It has an ideal screen off max which is not the same, it should allow for over 384mhz but you're welcome to test. I can't think of anything CPU intensive that will push the CPU with screen off really high.

Anyway, poweramp has a buffering option that the user with an issue can try messing with to help prevent skips. Under settings->audio->advanced tweaks there is an option to change the audio buffer size. Auto should be default but there are two other settings. I'd say go up one at a time to see if that fixes the audio skips.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Thanks tiny, should I try a wipe and fresh install first?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You can to eliminate issues but sound skipping is not usually related to a dirty install. I had sound skip on poweramp 2 on my stock Galaxy Nexus until there was an update to Poweramp shortly after the phone came out. To get around that I set my audio buffer to large (250ms). This was tied in to screen off actions mostly on the stock interactive governor. To eliminate a poweramp version issue, are you using the latest version of Poweramp?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Lmao.. I forgot all about that option.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
I'm running 2.0.6-build-508 Full Version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Yeah, that's the latest one from the play store.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Still skipping with buffer set at 205ms, trying 750...

Seems to have fixed it. I think I've caught the occasional flicker, but at least there's no more "bbrrrrrrrrb". Thanks tiny, I forgot about that option because I've never needed it. I still don't understand why I'd need it now but not on GB.

Now I just have to figure out why that Tasker profile keeps randomly activating, and I'll be perfect.

Oh! And just a quick poll: Do notifications still play through the speaker when headphones are plugged in for anyone else? I've had this issue for as long as I can remember, but it doesn't happen on my dad's or girlfriend's Incredibles. The issue has persisted through factory resets and flashes.

I get ringtones, notification, phone calls. Think it normal. Funny thing is when I plug it into my home stereo and forget to unplug it and hear the conversation on my outside speakers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Ugh...I think it's incredibly annoying, the whole point of plugging in headphones is to have sound play through them instead of the speaker.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
No issues with Poweramp and Incredikernel. I've been running it bottomed out at 128 on SmartassV2 for weeks on the nightly builds without a skip. CPUSpy shows all kinds of time at 128. Even at 2-3 hours of music, it's about 75% of my CPU usage.

sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Oh really...hm, maybe I'll try Incredikernel sometime.

i have a boost mobile flashed htc incredible, im not sure if thats the reason why my camera video recorder never works, but everytime i try recording video it force closes, is there a fix for this i cant record video on this rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
The camcorder is broken on ICS at the moment. This is because support for the hardware video encoder has not yet been reverse-engineered. There is an app on the market called "Videocam Illusions" that can record "video," but it turns out to be more of a slideshow because it uses software encoding.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I just posted a new kernel over in my kernel thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683578) with the same new stuff that came with the 7/22 build's kernel.

If you are already running the 7/22 build of my ROM, there is no point in flashing the Lite kernel because this kernel is already included with the ROM. If you want to play around with governors or IO schedulers, you can flash the Regular kernel.

Torque doesn't seem to work with my new bluetooth OBDII adapter. Also, the dialer force closes every time I shut off Torque. Stack trace mentioned something about bluetooth headsets.

Soo.. lol anyone know how my phone turned into a tablet :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SFxBA:
Loaded most recent kernel same effect. I have learned that my trackball and power key work, but nothing else. I have taken everything exept titanium back, pictures, clockwork folder off the sdcard and still can't get the keyboard or screen to work. I am afraid I just will not be able to use this ROM. I am coming from ICSenseless were all my keys work and I have nandroided back to this setup one and everything was good.

If anyone has any other shots in the dark I would most graciously accept them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Can you try using Incredikernel? There is something different about how Incredikernel handles the touchscreen driver that might work for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpzsports:
I love this ROM and it's running great and smooth, except it seems like everyday it shuts off randomly once and gets stuck at the boot screen. I should get a logcat probably. Or hopefully whatever the issue is will get ironed out with the updates. Is anyone else getting this? Maybe it's V6 Supercharger?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jblack55:
OK. I have a really dumb question. Do we have to compile this ourselves or is there a download available somewhere? I can't get Ubuntu to install next to windows and don't have the time to reformat windows right now.

Thanks in advance!

I just got another "sleep of death" today. It wouldn't respond to any button presses, nor would the LED light up when plugged in. Did a battery pull and booted up again just fine.

Are there any logs I should be checking?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Try /proc/last_kmsg
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Do I use logcat to check that? I haven't done this before, and I don't see anything in aLogCat about "proc" or "last_kmsg"

Edit: Nevermind, /proc is the directory and I assume last_kmsg is the file. However, I don't see it anywhere...I do have a file called just "kmsg", but there doesn't seem to be anything of interest in it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SFxBA:
Great suggestion I am up and running with the latest incredikernal. I wonder if it is SLCD vs AMOLED thing or something else, but it is working.

Will get it all setup and running tonight.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
That file won't be there if they have to battery pull, it only persists through warm reboots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icomrade:
Works fantastically on my AMOLED Dinc, using the regular mamarley 2012-07-24 kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shano56:
Yeah he probably needs a log cat. It doesn't reboots, just either freezes with the screen off or just keeps the screen "locked" off. I've had it during calls and couldn't get the screen on to hang up. I think it was a sensor issue
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Hmm.. had to flash incredikernel too, something turns defective in your kernel.

I noticed this when my back lights started flickering and as if they were possessed.

Anyway all is fine now just thought I'd throw in my issue.

Does the bluetooth (OPP) error have anything to do with playing the audio out of my car speakers for phone calls? Because that doesn't seem to be working, even though I'm successfully connected through BT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Have you tried it with the non-optimized nightly builds? I don't have the proper equipment to test anything other than OPP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ocj:
No, I haven't. I just flashed over a couple days ago. Using your 7/22 build.

When you say the nightly builds, are you speaking about Invisitek's nightlies here, http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/dinc/cm9.unofficial.nightlies?

Thanks Mamarley. All in all, a speedy rom.

Interesting to note, I was using drk.hd's rom previously, and your latest kernal (2.6.38.8) would cause reboots and immediate battery drainage. But on your linaro build rom, I don't seem to have any of those issues, still using your latest kernal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Yes, invisiblek's nightlies are what I was talking about. I'm not sure how to explain the crashes and battery drain with drk.hd's ROM, but I have only tested the kernel with later builds, so something might have changed in Android as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ocj:
Thanks. I'll give the nightlies a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I just posted a new build of this ROM. The new version is compiled with the just-released Linaro 2012.7 toolchain and has the kernel compiled with "-O3 -fno-tree-vectorization" for increased performance.

Past efforts to get the kernel to compile with -O3 failed because of a configuration option that forced the kernel to be compiled with -Os. Additionally, tree vectorization (which is turned on by default with -O3) caused the compiled kernel to not boot. Disabling the tree vectorization allows for most of the performance improvements of -O3 while still producing a working kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
So.. what would you say about the new performance? Is it noticeable? Vague?

Had to leave this rom because every time I flashed it, it kept freezing or dropping in performance it slowed to a crawl.

Is it possible this new kernel for the increased performance in the new build might kill the battery a bit?

Sorry for asking I've been flashing like crazy and want a small break lol.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I haven't had any crawling problems, and it is quite unlikely that this build would fix something like that. Did you ever try doing a full wipe? That kind of thing is often caused by malfunctioning third party apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
I too have had this issue. With the original install (7/8 if I remember correctly), it took about a week, then it started getting slow (to the extent it was nearly unusable). Then I flashed over the newest build at the time and the problem went away, but it has since come back.

I'm not the type to install a lot of apps, and everything I have on now is stuff I've had for a very long time on various ROMs (custom alarm clock, timer app, SMS Backup, etc). Not to say you're wrong, but the behavior seems specific to this ROM and/or kernel.

In the interest of troubleshooting, I logcat'd and top'd, but I found nothing of interest with either method. Also, I had not tried a clean install of any of the newer builds, but this behavior manifested with the first install, which was clean (from invisiblek's nightlies, I believe).

tl;dr: I've been running this for nearly a month, and I'm seeing the same behavior with no logical root cause identified.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
I'm having the same kind of "ROM starts slowing down to a crawl" performance too. I flashed the last build with a full wipe thinking that something there was causing it. Didn't even bother restoring anything from Titanium -- redid all my configurations by hand. Didn't help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
If it takes a week for the problem to start happening, then it could be some kind of memory leak. Does the problem also happen with invisiblek's nightly builds, or does it only happen on this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Always full wipe, rarely do I flash over.

It happens over time as they have said and most apps I install are nothing too big or to be a huge concern on the rom I'd think.

I'm currently on touchwiz, the only thing that seems to have crossed over is the slowness in the keyboard. Anyway I'll be flashing this and I'll see what happens. Love the performance as it helps with my gaming needs :)

Anyway I'll let you know.

Sidenote.. I did try wiping cache/dalvik and after doing this I always got the Android starting up - processing apps or whatever, usually happens when you push an app but it never stopped doing this.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
To the best of my recollection, it was only on this one. I have only ran other ICS ROMs since they have been daily material (so about the last five months), and I can't recall any issues like this with any other build.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
I've never really noticed this on other ics roms, the only thing I've noticed I wish could be changed is the minfree values, they are incredibly low. Unless that's the way its suppose to be on an ics rom which if it is, is odd..

Invisibleks does start somewhat slowing down but honestly I end up flashing back to yours because of the peak performance.

Can you guys try flashing Incredikernel and see if that makes a difference?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
I was on incredikernel - assuming 07-07 is the latest by tiny.

It helped with the odd flickering backlights which I found out is a warning sign my phone is about to freeze or is freezing.

Could it be because of linaro?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
I'll give incredikernel a try. I only remember this problem occurring on your builds, not invisiblek's. Then again, I was flashing new builds fairly regularly so it's hard to say for sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
It could be. The problem definitely sounds like it is caused by a memory issue. The next time it happens can you check the "Running" part of the apps list and see how much memory is in use on the bar at the bottom of the screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Sure thing, getting ready to flash your rom now.

Edit: I'm on the latest build but its going to have to wait as I just saw a jb build with supposed hwa for the incredible. Lol :p

Installing the update now! Thanks for all your work mamarley.

EDIT: running great so far! very fast.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Will do. Just saved some screens now of the system running well. Will take more if it tanks. I'll grab a cap from SystemPanel too. Would there be anything to peek at from an adb session worth mentioning?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpzsports:
I flashed over after wiping dalvik cache and cache and it works fine for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] broons:
Hey guys, havent been on here for awhile but ya I have also noticed the slowdown. Ran great for a week or so and now performance is spotty at best. On 7-22 with the full version of the included kernel. Gonna download 7-31 and flash inkredikernel latest and see what happens after a week.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
For what it's worth, I haven't had any performance issues aside from the stuff that happened with PowerAmp.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Have you tried PowerAmp with the audio buffer and audio thread priority turned all the way up? This is what I use and I have had no audio skipping.

I am glad to hear you haven't had any other performance issues though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Yep, I turned the audio delay up to 750ms and that's pretty much fixed it. I get the very occasional stutter while Swiftkey tries to keep up, but that's it. I might try it with Invisiblek's kernel to see if that makes a difference. I also haven't flashed this latest build.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Just flashed the 7/31 build, no immediate problems. I'll let you know if anything comes up, and if I decide to try a different kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donkeykong0:
I just wanted to chime in here and say thanks for the continued development on the DInc, it has kept my phone fresh over the years. I am enjoying the 7.21 build but I have noticed a few glitches so I thought I'd bring them your attention, though not sure if these are known or widespread:

Trackball wake screen does not work. I like to use the power button to end calls, but when using my phone in speaker mode I can't turn the screen back on without ending the call.

MMS still does not work. it hangs while downloading.

I've also experienced the slow down issues after about a week, with the included kernel. Using a cache cleaner somewhat works but not for long.

Also gapps did not install upon initial flash and I had to download them manually. Will only 1 version work?

I'll flash the latest 7.31 rom and see if that fixes anything.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Now that I've used this newest version for a few hours, it definitely feels snappier than the previous version before I flashed. I definitely wasn't to the point of it being unusable, but it looks like there might be some slowdown after all.

I'm tempted to record myself using the phone right now and compare it to using it a week from now, just to make sure it's not all in my head...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shano56:
I too have noticed this performance drop. Mainly when changing screens (like pressing the back button in an SMS convo) and entering/exiting apps. I don't know how to trouble shoot it :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I am pretty sure this is an issue with CM9 itself and isn't specific to my build. Regardless, I don't have enough skills to fix it. Sorry.

This is an issue for many CM9 devices; you can find the solution here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24897-mms-fix-for-aokpcm9-gummy-and-any-other-ics-based-2nd-init-roms/

When you start getting the slowdown, can you check to see how much RAM is free by running "adb shell cat /proc/meminfo" and posting the results? Also post the output of the same command right after you boot the phone for comparison. I think the slowdowns might be a memory-related issue, but I don't have enough info yet.

For CM9 ROMs, you always have to flash the latest gapps zip available from goo.im.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Just curious, if you believe its a memory issue what do you recommend to do?

bOx Stash - https://www.box.com/shared/d8a46b7252c38069deb1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I am hoping that I will be able to find out what exactly is causing the problem. There could be an app that you could kill that would free up RAM and make it run fast again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Well I had supercharger running before my I flashed a new rom. These problems still persisted, this was before you asked, I'm actually going to reflash your rom and try to give you what happens to me. Kinda getting cornered to use this rom as linaro seems to have the necessary speed I need to multi task :p

So I'll try to stay in the rom and give pictures of my apps/ram/etc. I'll stay stock too.

bOx Stash - https://www.box.com/shared/d8a46b7252c38069deb1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
I'm no longer running this ROM, but when I was and had the issue, I did a top. Upon watching at the results for a while, nothing stood out in terms of RAM utilization. I even tried killing a few processes with the higher memory use, but that didn't yield any benefits.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Alright here's my initial stall -

1.) Wipe data/Factory Reset (x2)

2.) Mounts & Storage → Format System/Boot

Waited after boot to Gapps setup, skipped process.

Dilly dallied a bit for the system to catch up, setup wifi and then turned off surface dithering and turned on the other option.

Processor remained stock and no changes.

Signed into Google play and downloaded titanium backup and some file explorer in beta.

I restored a number of apps -

That's its for now. So far no issues.

ROM runs very smoothly for me, but consistently has about 1 random reboot daily that hangs at the boot animation. Maybe I'll try a different kernel to see if that fixes it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
If your using the latest build I'm not sure if you can, I'd nandroid or wait for mamarley. I know his latest includes optimizations for linaro tool chain and o3

At the time, was downloading a rom, listening to music and surfing xda.
