Battery life is dependent on a ton of factors. Apps creating wakelocks, signal strength from the cell network, actual usage of the phone...

I built this kernel so people who wanted to tweak some settings could. If you want to run it, and utilize the features it provides, feel free. If you don't, no one is forcing it upon you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hugodefcon:
Oh no cant let this kernel go. I cant let go the overclocking. Just wanted to know it the battery would be about the same with this kernel.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
thanks! arggghhh if its not tooo much to ask could you please rebuild with the latest merges? i love the overclock/underclock capabilities of this kernel!

Did you take a backup before flashing the kernel so you can try on the kernel provided with this rage rom?

I doubt it's a kernel issue however.

Weird bug on you kernel. Instagram videos don't work. On cm10.2 latest builds and 8/31. They work on stock cm kernel though
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So what's wrong with it?

I'm not clairvoyant.

I also really can't offer you much for CM10.1 other than rebuilding it.

That... is a weird bug. Any other video related issues, or just Instagram?

Can you get a dmesg and logcat ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
Here is a log. Thanks for looking into it!

http://db.tt/3VA0tHOq
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Lots of fun OMX errors.

Do you have a dmesg? It seems like 1080p video is an issue. Is it just Instagram?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
Looks like it's just Instagram. I tried vine and YouTube and they work fine

I think this is a dmesg

http://db.tt/a0lSClVS
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
That's a dmesg... but nothing popping out at me. I see some video-related lines, but no errors (although I am pretty green at reading kernel logs :o).

Lots of LMK (low memory killer) stuff, but again I don't think that's an issue per se.

I actually haven't made any changes myself for a while, so I spose some of my old hacks are having an issue with some of the new changes. You said both 8/31 and 9/8 exhibit the same behavior? That's good to know, as there were a lot of changes between those two, so it should be before then...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
Yes it was on the two most recent builds. Not really major. Just a minor annoyance
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The_Blue_Bomber:
Has it been stated using this kernel on 4.3 causes instagram videos to not work?

hey [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] i see that your kernel is on carbon builds... great news then!!!!!!!!! you know why carbon team dont allow uv like your kernel?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I had phantom vibes on stock kernel with my Q.

My kernel is NOT in Carbon builds. Carbon runs the stock CyanogenMod kernel, as that is what I track. I do NOT force this kernel into any of my ROMs.

If you're just looking at about phone, that is what machine built the kernel/ROM. I was trying something with jenkins, to see if it would speed up build times - I thought it would, but it did not for some reason.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
I'm on 0.19 FFW-5

No issues that I can speak of. But...I am getting super spammed in Logcat with:

Mot8960

PwerHal : Error writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/boostpulse: No such device

Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
It's when you touch the screen basically. I am not sure exactly why, but there is definitely something wrong with that setting - I just never quite figured it out before I broke my Q.

Patches welcome if you find it :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
lol! I didn't even notice that. You are right. It's coming from the screen touch. Bizarro error. Does it affect gaming/processing...I mean, having to constantly report that error when touching the screen?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
What cpu governor are you using?

Try ondemand and/or interactive, boostpulse isn't available with all governors.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
I was using Wheatley, but I tried another...it doesn't matter. It has to do with touching the screen somehow. It's a really strange error.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Perhaps I didn't enable boostpulse properly... It's entirely possible.

Basically the theory is, when you are touching the screen you want the most power. So it "boosts" the processor when you are actively using the device.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
"You are getting that error because project butter is built the interactive governor. An aspect of project butter is to ramp up the CPU when the screen is touched to ensure 60fps movement through the OS when interacting with the device's touchscreen. It would seem that interactiveX isn't optimized to take advantage of the way Jelly Bean has implemented this type CPU ramp up code. I am curious to know if other kernels produce this output on touch activity with alternate governors.>_>"

It's almost like power hal is holding onto the old file handle and thinks that the sysfs file is not there even though it is. I bet you get the same behavior on other kernel/rom if you say switch to another governor and go back to interactive. For now, the only way to fix it appears to be to trigger a hotboot, since there is no way to just restart powerhal. Or just ignore it and leave it alone ;)

________________________________________________________

This code should be all that's needed and can go below the error writing to... logcat message as seen in the original commit.

pthread_mutex_lock(&tuna->lock);

close(tuna->boostpulse_fd);

tuna->boostpulse_fd = -1;

tuna->boostpulse_warned = 0;

pthread_mutex_unlock(&tuna->lock);

I'm not sure though if it reopens the sysfs node but at least it only errors once.

this code (would need to be adapted) should go to ROM power hal, not kernel.

The kernel is great and I love it but but for some reason even at leaving it on stock settings will not let me some games like Blitz Brigade for example.

I need logs to really triage, but it's probably related to the aforementioned "Instagram" video issue.

I might try diailing back some of the OC on the GPU I suppose... I haven't really changed much in the video area other than that.

Hey arrrghhh, just thought you might want to know this from my stock (9.8.1Q-78-1) x907:

2/3 of my audio programs would skip before when starting a song (only when using an Apt-X compatible bluetooth headset). Or they'd skip when opening a menu while playing a song, or turning off the screen. Skips would continue for 5-10 seconds and then it would even out.

I confirmed that this does not happen on the stock kernel. Thanks for all the hard work :)

I will attempt to grab one later. I just found out that the stock kernel I flashed to fix the issue killed my wifi, so something else is wrong here too. Doing a stock full reflash to see if the stuttering is still gone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Wow... you hit on so many things I can't possibly test with.

a) I'm sure I don't have any apt-x compatible headsets

b) I no longer have a functional Q

c) You provided no logs...

I'm using your last cm10.1 kernel and carbon release 1.8, and I have an issue with flashing black sections of screen when scrolling in any app where I'm scrolling vertically. Instagram, Facebook, etc. Has anyone else reported this problem? Or is it possible I'm doing something wrong. Would provide logs if I knew how. Haha is there one kernel you think would be best for 1.8?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
For recent CM (both 10.1 and 10.2) it needs syncing.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
He said he is running an old version of Carbon.

Does this happen on the stock kernel on 1.8? Unfortunately that is getting a bit old, so you might want to look at updating.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rokr1292:
It did not happen on stock, and when you say update, do you mean ROM or kernel? I'm eagerly waiting til carbon 4.3 has PIE, the stable release has done me well as a daily driver.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well I'd say neither if you are waiting.

1.8 came out around August 1 - so try a kernel from July 30 or maybe August 4...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stevethegreat:
Hmm, anything after 15th of August release create screen corruption to Razr M 4.2.2 roms and anything I've tried from early August unroots the phone. Here's hoping that July releases would be better suited for use (I'm going to try them now).

Also may I ask the following? Since the 4.2.2 are the only relatively stable ones do you (arrrghhh) intend to release any new 4.2.2 based kernel (hopefully fixing the bugs)?

Thanks for your work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Just did in fact. Not sure if it will help you, unless the 4.2.2 ROM is being updated as well? It should help the CM10.1 folks tho.

Edit - you know for 4.2.2 you need to use the CM10.1 kernel, right?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stevethegreat:
Thanks, I'll try it. In the mean time I found that the July 24 is the last (of your older kernels) that works well with aosp 4.2.2 ROMs on RAZR m. It has both root and no jerkiness, I'll try your newest kernel and I'd report soon. Again, thank you (and yes I'm using cm10.1 kernels, the other one is about 4.3 based ROMs).

Edit: Nope, same image jerkiness/artifacting and no-root issues as before. Back to 7/24. Thanks for the efforts anyhow (there seems to be some deep issues introduced with the latest commits, the one in 30th of July (no root) and 15th of August (image artifacting) in particular)

Edit2: One more things that I noticed. Some serious throttling is going to the dual snapie of my razr. Is that general behavior of this chipset or just me. If I get it to anything more than 1.7 (my CPU is/was characterized as "fast") I barely gain any performance (at all). And even if I gain some performance when I go to 1.7Ghz (from 1.5), it's at most 10%, too little to make sense. So basically we're capped to/at around 1650Mhz of perfmance no matter what the clock's numbers are. Does anybody else faces this (not much gain or any at all from OCing)

So, I'm wondering whether or not Hangouts force closing has to do with the kernel in anyway shape or form. It seems that when I install a ROM and flash a kernel that is up to date as the ROM I just flashed that I get no force closes. However, if the kernel is a few days or better behind than the nightly ROM build them hangouts keeps closing out on me. Maybe a kwinkie-dink?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JaceAlvejetti:
My two cents I keep the kernel, args, and cm synced only updating cm when a new kernel comes out, never had hangout force close
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You should always try to match the kernel version to the ROM - it's certainly not a requirement, but can cause issues. Heck, some were even unable to boot if they were running too different of a kernel + ROM setup.

Will all new versions of the same branch (CM10.2/CM10.1/whatever) have the same updater-script? It gets kind of tedious having to update my update.zip's updater-script every few days, when I could just ask here for a (hopefully) quick answer.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Are you building on your own?

I haven't updated my updater-script. I actually have a script that builds the kernel, takes the modules, and zips it all up for me. Mainly because I'm lazy.

Let me know if you want it - it's not pretty by any means, but works.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penser:
I don't build my own. I just download yours and incorporate it into my custom update.zip that I flash every time I update/reinstall my current ROM or you update the kernel.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lukkypuggy:
That's actually a pretty good idea...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penser:
Feel free to steal it. Just remember to adb push it over to /data/media/ once you've zipped it up, /sdcard/ is actually /data/media/0/ since 4.2 and CWM looks in /sdcard/ (/data/media/) when you select "install update.zip".

Well, for CM I never really got it to work outside of the CM source. I just put it in the CM source, and do a make bootimage. Then have it zip it all up for me with the modules etc. so people can just flash :)

Heh, most people mess it up in the other direction, because the stock kernel is listed first ;).

It came first, so I thought it was only appropriate. I'm also fairly lazy, didn't feel like rearranging the posts :D.
