[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I uploaded a kernel I've wanted to start working on for several months- been kinda slow figuring out git & compiling:o

download is on my GitHub page here

I've just added several small commits building on mrg666's kernel (if I should start a new thread I will but right now I don't know where I'll take it- if anywhere. Part of it was just to see if I could do it.

It's got a few commits from drewwalton's hydrokernel, super kernel dev Francisco Franco's P500 kernel... maybe more to come as I look around hunting for other little things. I'm not a developer so I'm really not prepared to do debug 50 file commits.

compiled with latest Linaro toolchain.

Thanks to all of the people everyone thanks- especially mrg666 for answering so many of my trivial questions.

I've been running it for a couple of days with no reboots or anything. If anyone wants to get in on the action there are some dev teams like those who build the Italian Nexus Kernel. It'd be cool to go some direction like that- everyone throwing great things at it.
[Optimus V Android Development] eep1:
Installed last night, seems to be maybe possibly a little zippier.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Maybe. If I'm not mistaken drewwalton did the reverse by just adding a commit that swaps some key mappings to get his hydrokernel working on the optimus v. I'll try a bit later but I can't promise simply because I'm not great at this.:D
[Optimus V Android Development] Xx_silenzer_xX:
Is this for ics or gb ?
[Optimus V Android Development] turboeddie:
Gb
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Just an update. Now that I've taken the leap and done some work I'm mainly doing some reading about things.

Also checking out other repos out there to see what others are doing. One that is intriguing right now is the candied kernel. Check out my watched repos on my git account. It's a p500 kernel based on the official cyanogenmod kernel for that phone.
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
Well if you can somehow improve the (assumingly) abysmal 2D acceleration I'll be on board. And by that I mean its really

insanely

choppy to scroll without having 16bpp transparency.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Any input on what you're experiencing? Is it games? Are they using opengl? This is where I'd fall short not knowing where to go with that
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
Oh its just typical of the CM7 ROMs. I nitpick yes, but if your wizardry is that good why not ask for it? :P
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Oh I'm no wizard. mrg666 does a lot more than I do. I just add one-liner changes I get from other people's ROM's for other phones.

I have no attention span and just hit discard if a commit has conflicts with the existing code. I still look for anything related to performance, battery life... or just sounds smart.

I wish I understood the hardware enough to know where get and how to incorporate newer drivers. I can't really see a few years of linux kernel development since 2.6 would make 3.x kernels have a noticeable difference in function unless there was some glaring flaw in how certain things are handled.

The only room for improvement I could see to be noticeable would be to find newer drivers for key components and get them in the kernel. If LG used 4 year old drivers and there are ones available 6 months ago there could potentially be some big benefits in video, cpu and networking support.

Since this guy's p500 kernel is an actual cyanogenmod supported kernel there's surely some stuff to be found there
[Optimus V Android Development] captaincrook:
It's cool. Thanks for the reply.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I remember you wanting to get started on this...

good work.
[Optimus V Android Development] Curiousn00b:
Can't believe I never seen this!

Nice work. :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Thanks guys. I've been flying under the radar. Probably because I'm not posting on androidcentral.

Uploaded a couple new builds just now. Mainly changing to o3 compiler optimizations instead of o2 and disabling compiling to optimize for size.

It made the zImage come out at 3.5MB instead of 3.0MB but who cares? I mean, I'd rather have whatever other optimizations there could be versus half a MB of kernel size. I'm also trying to fall in line with Linaro's recommendations.

Anyway, they're up here https://github.com/jawz101/android_kernel_thunderc/downloads

The commit I'm most suspicious about is the 'new battery driver one' because I just slapped it in there.

remember to backup, clear cache & dalvik cache before each kernel update.

That candied kernel is crazy full of stuff - I wish we had cyanogenmod support like they got.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
things look pretty good on those last to updates. I threw in a few more commits yesterday that I haven't pushed up remotely that I'm still testing on my phone. mainly adjusting some more gcc build flags & pulling in some cpufreq update from Code Aurora. My phone seemed laggy last night after that cpufreq update so I'm still holding off throwing it out there to see if it was just a coincidence from other things I had open at the time or what.

someone mentioned I hadn't been adjusting the build date in the about section in settings. I'll start doing that again in the next release. I wish it was dynamic every time I compile because I don't like that you have to add a new date each time but oh well.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
btw, if anyone wants to get in on the action I'd be glad to help with getting you up and running on toying around with kernel stuff. I'm still a newb but I think the whole idea of kernel work is more interesting and beneficial than custom ROMs.

Right now I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 64 bit dual booting my windows box via Wubi, SmartGit to do the cherry pickin', latest Linaro toolchain for compilation and a cheat sheet of commands to run the compiles.

I also enabled something called ccache on my kernel to speed up build times quite a bit. I really don't know why many kernel devs out there don't use it unless they think it could introduce some reliability issues in compilation but I haven't noticed any issues.

I spent a lot of time evaluating git management programs initially to find something I liked & ended up settling on SmartGit but still use some of the other gui's for a different look or certain functionalities.
[Optimus V Android Development] clodfelterac:
thanks man!... ill definitely check it out... and id love a copy of your command cheat sheet... :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
the cheat sheet is just the commands to run the make of the kernel once I've make changes. I'd say getting everything else ready for compiling the kernel was the slowest step for me. If you have any questions for that let me know. I'd try hunting around on the interweb 1st and if it's a bunch of questions make another thread and we can break down the questions as you have them.
[Optimus V Android Development] clodfelterac:
been using the 0808 since you posted and i have to say its very zippy... i keep cpu spy to track usage... nice work... looking forward to future updates... thanks... :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Thanks. It's been working well for me too. I haven't done many updates since then as I've been trying to get that official cm7/2.6.35 p500 kernel working on my phone but it poops out on me. If I could do that it would be the new awesomeness. Oh well.
[Optimus V Android Development] clodfelterac:
im sure youll figure it out... ill test for you if you need a guinea pig... :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
uploaded a new version. I've been devoting a lot of hours trying to port the candied kernel over which is the direction I've wanted to go. I may be overthinking it and kinda lost more than anything but I wanted to throw my last efforts out there on the jawz101 kernel
[Optimus V Android Development] clodfelterac:
thanks!... ill upgrade from prevoius tonight... still running like a champ!... :)
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
20120907 - I will warn that this build is experimental. I mean, it works but I've not tested it a bunch.

added chad0989's USB Fast Charge Mod ported over to our phone

allows the phone to draw as much power via USB as you would via a wall charger so you can charge your phone faster when you charge it off a laptop and such.

downside is USB mass storage won't work when fast charging is toggled on.

To toggle on and off, via terminal execute these commands:

Fast charge can be toggled by issuing: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge and off: echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

Battery Monitor Widget can monitor the effect (I attached some screenshots from my phone before & after toggle).

I'll follow up with a little app to toggle the fast charging I can make through Tasker's app creator. Otherwise you can always donate to chad0989's effort by purchasing his toggle app

I'd test it first via the terminal before throwing money around, though.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
btw, 9/23 build up yesterday. I found a github page for another phone with a 2.6.32.x kernel and pulled several commits from it since they'd applied cleanly. highlights I was intrigued with were these 2:

Backported initramfs from kernel 2.6.34.x

Makefile: use hardfloat instead of soft

I'm hesitant about that hard float instead of soft float. I don't know what the effects of a hardware based floating point function would do except hardware functions I'd think would be more preferred than software functions. Nothing blew up though. Actually, most of these patches just applied cleanly.

My next phone with be a shiny Google Nexus phone. I'd rather have a latest and greatest Linux kernel than this old 2.6 kernel. That'll be a year or so from now. I'd like to wait until Google has a quad core.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TL24:
I've got a big issue at the moment, when I plug in my GNexus in the AC adapter charger it charges super god damn slow! This is a brand new GNexus that I just picked up today, it came with the original boxing materials and is currently unlocked/rooted running JellyBellyv3 (4.1.1)...

Can anyone please assist me with wtf is going on there? If this keeps up it'll take me all night to fully charge my phone! To give you an idea of how slow it's charging I've had it plugged it for the last 30 minutes and the percantage went from 35% to %36!?!? :eek:

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
With the in-box charger and cable? When you plug into the wall, does the phone indicate "charging (AC)"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TL24:
Nope, there's no indication that its charging at all with the in-box chargee and cord. However when I use the same cord with my Apple ac plug it indicates that's its charging. But this is where the issue comes into play, it charges super super slow! At this point I don't know if its a phone issue or cord/ac adapter issue? :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the stock charger. The apple one doesn't have enough amperage to charge fast enough. Get a new wall charger..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thing is if he has a normal Apple wall charger it has the same amperage (1A) as the stock Samsung one...

Sounds like a phone problem? Unless you can charge completely normally with a different cable/charger combo, and/or can charge other USB devices off your stock Samsung charger.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jda2631:
the first one is every time i open a folder on my home screen my phone talks and says "folder is open" then when i close it it says "folder is closed". i cant figure it out for the life of me. anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? only way around it right now is if i turn the media volume off, but then i cant listen to music ect. its driving me crazy!

the other is right when i got the phone i installed light flow to change the led notification settings. but now whether i have light flow enabled or not, and whether i have led indicator notifications (under settings) enabled or disabled, whenever i lock the phone the led glows green constantly, wont turn off.

anyone have any ideas what is causing these 2 problems?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sgloki77:
I dont know about the first issue, but regarding lightlow, at this point in time , it doesnt work properly with the us versions, I also install it and had the led green light on all the time, you still can use the notifications, but the color part is messed up

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaylinnMaung:
Why my S3 has big RAM usage after about 4 days use? I checked RAM in taskmanager and about 500+MB of RAM is in use. At that time, my high-end games ,like amazing spiderman, start to lag and sometimes it even closes itself.I think this happens because it had not enough free RAM.So, I had to restart my device to lower RAM usage(only 200+MB RAM is in use, just after restarting).Why is that? Why RAM usage grows bigger if I didn't restart my device in 4 days? I've tried to limit Backgroung Processes in developer options of setting, but not working. It seems I should restart my phone everyday to get the full performance of my phone.

Any suggestions??

If you play some games which need a lot of memory android will kill other apps, that are running in the background to free the needed memory. Android is not windows! It will not run out of memory. Even the applauncher gets closed if it's necessary. I play heavy games to (nova 3) and there are no lags, so ram is not the problem I think.
