HWMOD OC KERNEL FOR MEDIAPAD ICS

Here is my 3.0.42 Overclocked Kernel for Mediapad ICS.

It was developed to suit my modified C232B005 firmware.

Should work in combination with all released Huawei ICS firmwares.

The main objective was to have longer battery life, not sure I got 100% of it,

however it seems pretty stable. The choice about avoiding higher clock frequencies

was deliberate and aimed to avoid forced close, freezes and unexpected reboots.

Really higher frequencies seemed unstable to me during my tests.

CHANGES

- latest stable kernel-3.0.42 Overclocked, clock up to 1.782 MHz

- undervolting from 750 mV @ 192Mhz to 1.275 mV @ 1.782 MHz

- default clock 1.188 MHz as in stock but governor ondemand

- "arkusuma" touch screen driver and sysfs modifications

- mt9m114 driver embedded in the kernel (not a module)

- size optimized dhd kernel module for Wifi networking

- added SIO scheduler but kept "deadline" as default

- cleaned up errors due to non existing hardware

- removed several unused driver from the kernel

- various fixes and tweaks from other platforms

HOW TO INSTALL

- extract the "boot.img" file from the "boot-3.0.42-hwmod.zip" archive

- using "fastboot" erase and then write "boot.img" to the boot partition:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

- extract the "modules" folder from the "modules-3.0.42-hwmod.zip" archive

- copy the complete content of the "modules" folder to "/system/lib/modules/"

Nice one but i have problem with wifi. Very very slov
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
The "dhd.ko" module is the original one shipped by Huawei.

It was just stripped off of symbols and other debug informations

which are not necessary for the functionality of the Wifi driver.

I have had no sign of Wifi slow down and other people on Androidiani forum

are using this same kernel and they have not reported problems so far:

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/hu...rmware-mediapad-ics-4-0-3-hwmod-c232b005.html

You could try to perform a complete "Factory data reset" if you are not

worried about reinstalling your application and data from a backup.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kakabobo:
any other governor added to above kernel ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] CSCicus:
I have my device 3days. I have instaled yours rom. Everything its wiped. I noticed i dont have this problem all time. On first instalation of all things was ok. But after that speed gos down to 100k/200k i disable wifi . After 2h i try it again and it was again ok.Maybe its some problem with my mikrotik router. But i have lot of wifi devices and i dont have this problems. For now its working. Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
No, I thought the standard 5 governors were enough for normal usage.

Personally I only use "ondemand" and "performance".

Which one are you missing ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
Is Ondemand have screen off profile? Iirc, the standard Ondemand governor don't have it. I don't know how much screen off profile would save battery, but I believe it's a nice thing to have.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
Hmm ... not enough knowledge about those governors details, sorry !

My objective was an usable and stable kernel with a few improvements.

As you can see there is no edge OC either and voltage has been kept to a minimum even at the cost of performances.

I haven't boosted L2 too much either, bus BW remains at max. 310Mhz.

I kept focussed on the stability of the device without changing to many things at once.

Maybe related to your question I know that "Deep Sleep" mode works while the governor is "ondemand".

So it enters this extra power saving mode every time the screen switches off for a couple of seconds.

You can check it works by downloading CPUSpy (free from the market).

Obviously it can't enter "Deep Sleep" while connected through "adb".
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Stransky:
Hi hwmod

Is this an update to the Kernal 3.0.42 that you posted on your main thread or is it a new

one. The reason I ask is that I have the Kernal from that thread installed and have problems with

using fastboot. You previous was much easier to install.

Stransky
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
No it is not an update, it is exactly the same 3.0.42 kernel and modules used in the other thread.

I extracted kernel and modules from that since there could be users wanting to try the kernel

but not wanting to install the complete package in post #2 of my modded firmware thread.

If you already installed the complete C232B005 HWMODed firmware you are fine.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hamdimo:
Does anyone face some problems after flashing this?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
It's running fine for me and seems a few others too.

Any more info or description about the problem you are facing ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Stransky:
Hi

No problems here.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
A bug has been found in the kernel.

The internal microphone is not working.

External mic (from headset) works fine however.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] shiranmotha:
Is the bug there in the full firmware tooo? 'Cos I'm planning to flash tomorrow and don't wanna use my headset all the time for Skype.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
No the bug is related to the kernel only.

I am looking into this to find a definitive solution.

It looks like I left out some configuration bit that is needed.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
I uploaded a new kernel-3.0.42 and related modules in the OP.

This fixes the bug with the integrated microphone not working.

Thank you for your patience.

Have fun,

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
So I was able to get the ICS OTA update no problem and now I'd like to save the recovery from it I guess to flash through ODIN after being on a rom. Can someone direct me to a guide or tell me of a method that I can use that would be able to save the recovery?

And if possible a zip to flash in CWM or Odin to put me on stock ICS? If not then I would just make nandroid backup which is how I got on stock Honeycomb previously for the OTA update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
Bump!

My brother wants the tablet so having this as a backup incase he wants to flash new things to it would be beneficial to me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_Another_N00b:
The easiest way is called a nandroid backup, and can be made easily with CWM. You need to get CWM on your tablet via ODIN (CWM 5504 is best choice) and then boot into recovery mode (i.e. when off hold power and volume- buttons together, release power when Samsung logo comes up and release volume- when the 2 options appear), select the recovery-mode (one volume- and then volume+ to activate).

There is a backup/recover option. Select this one and create a backup. It will go into a folder clockworkmod/backup with the date-time stamp as foldername. You will then need to copy that backup off the tablet to your PC and you will have a restore point.

Just google nandroid backup or search in these forums.

Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shuino:
I am having signal connection issues while running 4g only, if using 3g this problem does not appear.

Anyways, if I am using LTE every so often I will completely lose all signal for 10 to 30 seconds for it only to reappear again. It does not matter how many bars. I have been downloaded files, watching youtube or even sending texts with 4 bars and bam straight to no signal with an x then back to 4g and 4 bars.

I just got a replacement phone and it appears to have the same issue. On my first GNex I started using the V.FF02/I515.FG02 radio and the issue still appeared just differently. I would be on 4g and I would lose all signal but my phone still showed me having a data and bars even though I did not for a brief amount of time.

I'm just wanting to know if I should call Verizon and get another replacement, or if this is something I need to live with.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordydd91:
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.

the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged

ny suggestion to fix the problem?

Android 4.0.4

I9300BWLH1

Kernel SIYAH S3 V1.5.2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhariamine:
Check your usb port of the s3 maybe its damaged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordydd91:
how do i check it that all work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanptyltd:
Without paying someone to open it up and look into it, process of elimination will help.

blow lightly into the port to remove any dust

Try a different plug in your house

Try your neighbours outlets

Try with a different charger

Try with a different charger cable

worst case, a dab of WD40 shouldn't hurt (should help if any contaminants or rust has accumulated, preventing proper contact)

If your experiencing any major heating on the back plate while charging from the wall then the issue is most likely a bad charging mechanism. I had similar issues with my S2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhjots:
I had the same problem, as with many other people. See here if anything helps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1727540

(Even mods got frustrated saying it was a solved issue. Clearly it's still unsolved.)

For me the problem disappeared on its own.. All that changed was I started using a Belkin surge protector.. didn't help initially but then it started charging after a few days..

My guess is it's a software bug.. or some sort of a caching issue..

Btw I'm using latest XXLH1 unrooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Well from what i can see the problem doesnt lie in the data cable. So maybe it the wall plug section. Or maybe the the socket itself maybe be faulty.

Problem doesnt seem to be in the phone itself so nothing to worrry about too much.

Maybe buy a travel charger to see if that helps.

Also high recommended that you do check the plug socket to see if anything else charges in there.

Might be worth charging in a different plug socket.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordydd91:
I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same.

the data cable IS OK !!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
How about the plug socket. Have you tried to plug something else into the same plus socket to make that it still charges for example plugging your laptop into that same plug socket that your phone was to see if the laptop charges.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordydd91:
the result is the same.

it only charges via the pc USB port and not the wall charger
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuBz90:
Well I thought my phone was broke last week...

It wouldn't charge so I tried my old HTC charger and that wouldn't charge it either but it would via usb to laptop. So I purchased a new wire and that worked, I then tested my HTC charger on my HTC Desire HD and that still worked.

So the SGS3 doesn't seem to charge using a HTC cable unless connected to a computer. Try purchasing a new genuine usb cable :)

Alternatively, you could wipe battery stats in CWM (in advanced menu) and see if that fixes it :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yohng:
I had the same trouble, only 3 weeks after I bought my SGS3.

I did go to Samsung repair center, and they change the motherboard (under warranty).

2 Month before, same trouble with my SGS2, unfortunatly no warranty.

Samsung ask me for (around) 300$ for motherboard, and I did not do.

I've removed batterie and charge with external battery charger .... and forget it a while.

When I try it later, it was working fine ! What was my surprise !

I can charge it again with charger.... two days after "same player shoot again" : impossible to charge ... then work again :silly: !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbaskip:
I'm having this issue too. There is a whole thread of people having charging issues, and I assumed my problem was the same, however upon further inspection it charges via PC USB cable. That said, this may be the issue with the others in that thread.

My phone definitely seemed to charge by powerpoint when I first got it, but has since stopped.

Charging by PC is a pain, as I use my phone as an alarm, and my PC is in another room.

edit: the lightning icon comes up when I plug it into the wall charger, it just gets no charge. Is this the same as everyone else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_mulder:
Hi all.

I am trying to update my touch buttons firmware, due the fact I am not satisfied with my "back" button responsiveness.

I know the code that should bring me to the update screen ( *#*#2663#*#* ) , but in CM9 ROM , it does nothing.

In my friend's SGS2 , which runs stock Android 4 ROM, update screen appears as expected.

The question is, which files do I have to pull from stock and push to CM9 , in order to get that update screen working?

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
In Aosp based ROMs, Samsung Service codes does not and will not work. So don't disturb yourself

The only codes that work are for Service mode and Engineering Mode. Any other code will not work.

If you care so much about this code, just flash a stock based ROM, or live with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
I'm thinking of trying out some new ROM's. I'm currently running UKB V, but want to see what else is out there. I've moved almost all of my apps to my SD card using TiBu. Assuming I don't format my SD card when I flash the new ROM's, will all the apps on the SD "show up" ie still be installed? What about going from a ICS ROM (UKB V) to a GB ROM (Sky Raider Zeus)? Any idea whether there will be app compatibility issues?

Thanks gang! :highfive:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
If you wipe before flashing, the apps won't be there. You'll still need to restore them with Titanium. As far as compatibility between roms, that would just depend on the app, but I haven't had any issues.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ketxorange:
So I was wondering, I notice that there are several advantages of using Custom build Kernel over the Stock Kernel, such as extended battery life, overclock cpu, that gave smoother performance, etc.

However, if the kernel can be tweak and customize to that extend that give your phone to a very great performance, lag free, great battery life, why don't the manufacturer (Sony, Samsung, etc) apply these things to their Stock Kernel, the things that the freelance developer's been doing to their Custom Kernel? Is there any reason that blocking them from maximizing their phone's performance for the customers?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Because what oem after is stability, not perfomance. Many of the things applied in custom made kernel is not well tested, some dirty hack here and there.

If we compare ratio of we xda user, we the geek, we who like to flash our phone several times a day to all cumulative android users in the world, we are minority.

Many of them just want to use their phone as a phone, not to reflash it over and over to fix bugs that came with the custom made things.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lldace:
Hello XDA members!

I am a long time lurker of these forums... well since day 1 of the photon release.

Anywho, I have a photon on 2.3.5 :crying: like that isnt bad enough... Well I rooted my photon and installed Rom Toolbox Pro on my Photon and I was messing around with the app and saw you can change icons and stuff like that. I was messing around with it and then I was going to return back to stock theme and icons... well. I guess I forgot to do a back-up of the original theme.

So now my photon looks like a cheap knockoff because all the colors and everything dont blend well with the phone. So....

I was hoping anyone knows how to get it back to the stock theme and icons. Since there isnt any 2.3.5 SBF that I am aware of I cant just flash it back to stock...

Or if anyone has a back-up of their stock theme and would like to share, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

But if no one can help I dont really want to wait until ICS or somone godly dev unlocks this bootloader.

But theres not much that I can do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Mistakes happen, but no worries. Your mistake is fixable.

I believe if you look in the Development Section, there is a {Locked} version of 2.3.5 that is flash able thru Bootstrap Recovery (the only Recovery option available for Locked users). It will bring you back to stock and revert anything you changed in ROM Toolbox Pro.

I may be able to make a Bootstrap flash able framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk that will also possibly fix your issue without having to flash the whole /system folder. No promises tho.

But definitely look in the Development Section. Peetr_ and and another Dev have made some very useful stuff for locked users.

Thanks so much man! I never messed around with bootstrap recovery so I didn't know that this was possible.

Hi all,

Somehow my google wallet app on my nexus 7 stopped booting and instead gave me a compatibility app error. I activated my tab using VPN to receive 25 dollar credit and this caused that all US-Only apps appeared permanently on my app drawer. They were never frozen unlike on my GNex, which wasn't activated via VPN. Therefore I was able to boot all the US-only play apps without using VPN, I even setup Google Wallet via my local WiFi. But now nothing works. Even when connected via US VPN and marketenabler set to US Google Apps keep denying. The apps did not auto-update afaik. I updated my rom yesterday but Google Wallet still worked this afternoon. On my Gnex wallet also works, although I have to unfreeze it first and then use the VPN/Enabler method. Anyone a solution for this? I'm running ParanoidAndroid. Maybe it has something to do with the UI settings?

now i cant use the phone at all, if i put it on cant charge because battery is used more than how much is recharged, i have to keep it off and wait, hope that reverting to gb will make the chargin time a bit faster, i want to keep it still awhile before send it to sony
