hey guys, i'm noob in flashing kernel and using kernel app such as trickster mod. thanks for this wonderfull ads free app :)

i ran into a problem on each time i reset the kernel using faux kernel reset with busybox free app by stericson busybox 1.20.2 build and trickstermod free app on faux kernel 006b05-07 installed, i lost my IMEI and baseband. need to reset back to factory image using fastboot on nexus 4 to fix the unknown IMEI and baseband.

does trickster mod support faux kernel? there's no gpu control for faux kernel, and cannot set the minimum frequency to 384MHz, always reset back to 1Ghz, perhaps it's the same S4 krait FAQ since Nexus 4 use the same S4 krait microarchitecture.

and what's the proper way to uninstall stericson busybox without wiping IMEI and baseband? i don't mind compile and install busybox manual using command line if it's safer that way.

once i can work it all out on stock rom with faux kernel, i don't mind to purchase the donate version of this great app.

keep up the good work, trickstermod team! :good:

update:

busybox installer app seems not working with trickster mod. i prefer busybox installer since it didn't nuke the phone like busybox by stericson. some users on atrix devices also reported that busybox by stericson nuked their wifi and data, needs to reset back to factory image to fix it as reported in this original thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1712339&page=2

How did you install the reset kernel zip, in recovery? if so then it's not possible busybox causing you problem considering it's not used in recovery, as recovery has its own busybox. TBH I don't know why it can cause that catastrophic issue. My friend thuanle is running stock ROM with stericson busybox and Trickster MOD just fine.

GPU Max Freq control will come. The min freq issue should be fixed in the kernel as there's no way to fix it reliably in the app. I think bricked kernel has that fixed or at least advertised as is.

AFAIK the uninstall feature in busybox free app does not work. I simply go to the directory where busybox is located and delete its binary and correspondent symlinks with some commands. As typing commands is potential more dangerous if you mistype something I won't go into detail.

About busybox installer app, I will check it out, but in any case I think something else is going on in your phone because anything you do with busybox and trickstermod can't possibly wipe your IMEI.

EDIT: Busybox installer does not create any applet symlink even though it is asked to do so. I'll report it to its dev.

EDIT2: After more checking I found the Busybox Installer app has a lot of issues, coding wise and functionality wise. I have reported at least the latter to its dev.

i flashed the reset kernel from CWM recovery 6.0.23 (the latest non touch version from maguro). as i recall installing only the faux kernel and flashing the reset kernel back to stock did just fine. i happened to flash the faux reset kernel after coming from franco and it is ok.

my first attempt was installing busybox installer and opened up trickster mod made my system hung, so i hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to power cycle it off. coming from the reboot, all my root access were reset, needed to configure supersu one by one again and grant access to the needed apps. afterward i removed busybox 1.20.2 from busybox installer app, and then removed the busybox installer app, then installed stericson busybox app and installed busybox 1.20.2 with smart installer to /system/xbin. all went fine except when i uninstalled everything -trickster mod, busybox app, and the busybox binary in /system/xbin using adb shell- and reboot the imei and basedband were unknown. i chose using adb shell and deleted all files in the /system/xbin except dexdump and su binaries.

my second attempt after did a full wipe google factory image reset as per efrant's guide how to return to stock and flashing all the 6 .img via fastboot. the problem still occurred when uninstalling busybox. once i removed trickster mod app, removed the stericson busybox app (could not uninstalled the busybox 1.20.2 for unknown reason, perhaps due to it's been installed in /system/bin), reboot to cwm recovery, flash faux kernel reset and trickster mod reset.zip, voila, imei and baseband were unknown.

oh i see, perhaps it's something from faux kernel that needs the qualcomm mpdecission turned off. :)

it seems everytime i installed stericson busybox, made my /system as read-only. i tested with es file explorer root explorer, mounting the system as writeable but failed to delete busybox binaries in /system/xbin at my first attempt. need to get into adb shell, remount the /system as writeable and removed all binaries inside /system/xbin except for dexdump and su binaries.

thanks for the reply and testing the busybox installer. much appreciated. :good:

i will try to install and uninstall later if i have free time -this is my only and primary phone- and post the update here. hehe
[Android Apps and Games] bigeyes0x0:
- 1st bold part: Suggest data corruption

- 2nd bold part: what did you do in adb shell exactly? IDK about the N4 but if it's the same as GNex you might have accidentally done something to the partition which contains your imei.

- 3rd bold part: I checked faux's reset zip and I know my reset zip both can't do anything to make you lose your imei and supposedly you didn't do anything wrong + 1st bold part clue, I have a really wild guess and bad news for you: your phone might have a bad NAND flash chip

system partition is always read-only until it's remounted by app or user. The problem you have is because a busybox app has overwritten your mount command with one from busybox and busybox mount is funky as I have seen it didn't work before. This is why it's recommended to install busybox and its applets to xbin so they have lower priority than binaries in bin.

I suggest you not to use this app anymore at least until it's updated, it's horrendously badly written.

As you have too many problems with what ppl can do normally. I suggest you do the following:

- Restore your system with google system image

- Flash latest CWM

- Flash latest SuperSU zip

- Boot your phone normally

- Download this busybox by stericson and copy it to /system/xbin

- Use adb shell or term emu and type in the following commands:

su
cd /system/xbin
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install -s ./

After that you should see your /system/xbin directory populated with busybox stuffs. You should be able to use trickster mod then unless again your phone is crazy/faulty.

Also if you want to reset your kernel, you can also go to fastboot mode and use fastboot flash boot boot.img like in the guide you read about restoring your system.
[Android Apps and Games] chrone:
Re: [APP] Trickster MOD [Kernel Settings and Tweaks]

I mounted with mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /system, and cd to /system/xbin, and deleted all busybox binaries using the rm command line.

Thanks for the busybox binary. :thumbup:

I have reverted back to stock rom yesterday, and it's all good right now, less msm_hsic_host wakelock, hence better battery life. I did testing some kernel just to improve battery life in this n4, funny reflashing google factory image seems improve the battery life a bit.

When faux 006 stable comes out I'll try this one more time and report it back to this thread. Will definitely purchase your app, since trickster mod can handle almost all custom kernel. Love the support here. Hehe :)

Btw, is it safe to assume that uninstall busybox is to delete the binary in /system/xbin? What about all the symlink it created? And i don't know if this the right place to ask, but if only i install the busybox binary on your post above, and use it on stock rom with stock kernel, stock recovery, and trickster mod app, will it prevent ota update?

[Android Apps and Games] bigeyes0x0:
Thanks stericson for that, not me :D.

Generally you don't need to use the reset kernel unless you run into troubles. In fact you will run into troubles if you install that reset kernel on a ROM that needs custom ramdisk like CM and its derivatives. IMO just use fastboot to flash the original boot.img like I suggest in my previous post.

Supposedly you installed busybox to xbin and only it created a bunch of applet symlinks there (no other symlinks to other files), you can use this command to delete busybox symlinks:

busybox find /system/xbin -type l -delete

then you can delete busybox like normal. It's safe.

@chrone: if you turn on eco mode in intellidemand gov control, it will turn off mpdecision and vice versa.
[Android Apps and Games] chrone:
is this on new trickstermod app as i can't find eco mode on current app.? awesome! can't wait to get my hand dirty. :good:

right now i use the command line thing to use and hope it's not getting a reboot. :D

update1:

there's no eco mode on/off options in intellidemand gov control on newest trickstermod app. no snake charm either. :)

update2:

clear data, uninstall and reinstall still didn't show up eco mode on/off inside intellidemand governor. i check through terminal and can confirm it is still disabled:

need to: echo 1 > /sys/module/intelli_plug/parameters/eco_mode_active to make it produces 1 when cat /sys/module/intelli_plug/parameters/eco_mode_active.

and as for snake charmer:

I don't know how to check whether mpdecision is on or off, so via terminal again i typed: stop mpdecision.

Are you guys on N4? if so check and post in that thread instead as I have answered it there. Unfortunately you have to wait for now as I and some other devs are working on a better solution to all things gamma related.

Arrogant, no, more like frustrated because bug report without log is actually only phenomenon observation. Try to put yourself in my shoes, having to tell ppl to get logcat or do bug report using the in app feature every time.

However, now it works.. Maybe it was my fault, but i dont know what i make wrong

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] bigeyes0x0:
A few things can cause set on boot to die/disabled:

1. app didn't get root access fast enough (typical Superuser issue, use SuperSU instead)

2. you update the app but root app is set to disallow a new update to attain root and you didn't allow it again for the new update

3. you install a new kernel this will disable set on boot

4. you clear app data will also disable set on boot
[Android Apps and Games] Junglist86:
hm, I'm not sure, but can exclude the last 3 points I definitely could potentially be point 1, I will then install times superSU, let's see what happens! but there again, the settings are not applied!

Can you tell me what for function/task "boost" under the interactive governorsettings has? I activated and see that the clock speed works only on the highest cpu rates?! Is it then not the same like the perfomance governor?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] chrone:
Re: [APP][GNex] Trickster MOD [Kernel Settings and Tweaks]

By reading trickster mod knowledge base, interactive governor will use max frequency frequently.

What kernel do you use btw? Using faux kernel, it uses its own intelliplug instead of qualcomm mpdecision. there's an option from terminal command to disable mpdecision. mpdecision tends to ramp cpu frequency straight to 1026MHz often.

Re: [APP][GNex] Trickster MOD [Kernel Settings and Tweaks]

Oic, never used that one.

Am back to stock kernel but use trickster mod frequency lock to set cpu min 384 and max 1026, and gpu set to 325. Seems i found the balance for battery life and performance. :also set the rgb to 255, 250, and 245 in respective order like the one on faux kernel really makes the colors more vibrant. :)

[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
Did this get figured out somewhere? I would like to try mpdecision too

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] chrone:
mpdecision is the culprit, thus by using faux kernel we need to disable mpdecision from terminal and use faux's own intelli_plug to replace the mpdecision task.

on terminal after each reboot if you're not using faux kernel enhancement app aka faux clock app:

su

stop mpdecision

trickster mod will update the sysfs path on future update so it will automatically do this when intellidemand governer is set from trickstermod app.

if you're using stock kernel then i suggest to leave it enabled.

su

start mpdecision

So if I ever enable "zipalign" again I'll lose my navbar and status bar again, right? Would using a different theme fix this problem and let me use the zipalign feature?
[Android Apps and Games] bigeyes0x0:
No zipalign operation does not cause this issue now. You can try it again. But if you do something that clean out dalvik-cache (my mod does not do this), you will run into the same troubles. Some kernel CWM zips do this so is doing it yourself in recovery.

Installing another theme will fix the issue for good if that theme was done correctly.

Then I think your MOD finishes loading 15 seconds or so after my desktop appears...and if I keep looking at my screen that whole time, I know your MOD has finished doing its thing because then my screen gets slightly darker, not much, but really blue. I can totally tell the blue tint it puts on it. I really wanna stop that from happening and keep whatever default setting it is when the phone boots up.
