On 18.10 all governors high limit is 1000 Mhz and not 1100 Mhz.

Also noticed that in boot menu you can't make any change to CPU governor. As soon as you will leave the CPU menu it will reset to: "Load All Modules - Disable" and "Scaling - Interactive".

Mass storage still doesn't work.

Everything else seems to be just fine.

18/10 Update?

Any ideas what this latest 18/10 update is supposed to do?

I tried flashing over 18/10 and ended up with bootloops.

Only fixed by reflashing 18/10 full ROM.

Anyone get this working?

Had to revert back to 2409 version as I couldn't get the phone to run at more than 300 MHz. Tried changing CPU level 4 to 1000 but after each reboot it goes back to 1100.

CPU spy reports 3 processor levels with only 300 mhz used.

Also, and not sure if this is related I can't boot back into recovery or boot loader. When I enter at blue led stage at boot I see a brief message saying cannot access four cache files.

Have downloaded 1810 again to see if that's the issue.

Any suggestions please?

This might be a shot in the dark, but it might help you. As foolish as it sounds, have you tried plugging the phone to a different USB port? It happened both on my Windows desktop and my Ubuntu laptop a couple of times, and all I did was switch the phone to another port and bingo! it worked.

[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
Yes, but the way it acts when your screen is off, probably its different, its like it has 2 profiles.

The biggest battery drainer, on a clean instalation, seems to be wi-fi, you can compare with other roms, walter roms, mokee etc, cm10 drains more, some may think that its ok for wi fi to drain more, but there is a thread about a guy that made last his defy like 6 days, and he used wi fi a lot of the time, so maybe its a problem on AOSP, or CM, or simply those other roms were heavily optimized, don't know.

As he explains, the most importan thing to do, is to have a very low battery drain while on deep sleep, now, I'm not saying a regular user, on a regular usage, should achieve 6 days, but, 1% per hour on deep sleep should be the goal, or very close to that.

it means nothing...benchmarks neither quantify nor qualify anything about the user experience. I feel my phone is as fast a galaxy nexus right now, but obviously that phone will always score higher than mine because of its internals. user experience mainly stems from the software.

Updated to newest kernel. CPU still pegs at 100% for first 5-10 mins after a reboot, but it must be set to a lower priority as the system is only minorly sluggish instead of nearly unusable. All in all, I'm impressed. Much better than 9/24 for me.

Of note, I noticed a significant improvement going from an unpartitioned class4 8gig microSD to a class10 16gig with 1gig ext, 64meg swap, and 15gig fat32.

If you're still using a class4 microSD, you shouldn't be. ^.^

Found an older screen shot of my phone. I think it could be either cm7 or cm9 running an old gb kernel, the thing with it is that the score for I/O is 6646.

With the newest lately I can only retrieve a score of around 2300. I know ppl say that benchmark tests shouldn't be taken to seriously but I just think it's a bit odd with that kind of difference when both scores are from the same phone. Anyone got any idea?

[Defy Android Development] Kyle07:
Are you referring to Quadrant? There was a stage where Quadrant was rewritten and the scores produced after the rewrite were substantially lower then before. The results that preceded and succeeded this update can therefore NOT be compared directly. If you want to compare bench scores you should compare results produced by same quadrant version.

Furthermore, the kernel of today gave a substantial boost to my Quadrant score. I usually get 1500-1600. Today, I got 1790 with the CPU increasing 200 points.

Even though benchmarks are not absolute there is a definite performance improvement trend with CM10 since the custom kernel.

anyway to dim the brightness of the 4 buttons? still getting 0% off then 1% to 100% is at full brightness.

i found a not quite good solution.. while on cm7.2 i flashed it over to CM10 and it booted with no problems i did wipe dalvik and cache. i was able to control the brightness of the button on cm10 10.18.

but there were apps not properly working like the clock when setting the alarm and its unstrable. i tried flashing again wiping data/dalvik/cache button brigthess is again not working

Boot menu problems

Having gone back to 2409 I'm still stuck with the problem I can't boot into the recovery menu using the power key. It would appear that the updated kernel affects the recovery cache as I get this when I go into the boot menu:

Bootmenu ICS Recovery v5.6.7- jordan

E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log

E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

Could this be the reason it won't reboot into the recovery menu?

Any suggestions?

My battery used to last for 2.5 days (see the kernel in signature), now with the 13/10 update, it exactly lasts 22 hours (Same usage).

I tried with HWA enabled for all modules and disabled as well - Same result.

I was expecting higher battery time (with new kernel), since the Live wallpaper is not available with latest builds, but no luck.

I don't mind charging every night, as long as I get to test the latest and greatest build of Quarx :highfive:

Update:

my kernel version is not there in the signature, it is

4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip (the one I used in CM9).
[Defy Android Development] Sleepy!:
My first 2ndboot build was the 18.10...

It runs smooth as butter.

No boostedass/smartassv2/other new options are available in my boot menu, so I use performance.

( Enabling all modules doesn't do the trick)

>

I did a dirty flash of the 21.10 kernel update, and the phone booted up and rebooted...

Couldn't solve this by turning WiFi on and off and then deep sleep.

The kernel update also made my phone a LOT more lag.

So i reverted to 18.10, which as I said is smooth as butter.
