CPU Core

I'm only showing 1 core active on your Kernel.

I'm running Carbon - KK 239 from 2/04/14 with your Jan 31 Kernel

Noop/Wheatly/ 192MHX/1.809GHz

XT926

Any suggestions. I'm seeing through Trickster mod and CPU-Z
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:

Ok...? You know how? I do not xD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pb1379:
I tried the cm11 kernel, and apparently the screen resolution gets changed, nice touch but wiring is definitely too small for me. Back in the old days, DPI settings were in the build properties file, but apparently that's not the case anymore... Any clue where to change that nowadays? Or can one simply add it to the properties file again, will it be honored?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
This kernel does NOT change DPI. (Not sure if any do?) Something else must have...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pb1379:
Oh... OK. Thank you for the quick reply - and - sorry for the false accusations!

I'll have a look at it and will try to find the culprit...

Anyways, many thanks for this great kernel!!! ??

System/ bin - rename mpdecision to mpdecision.bak ?

Edit - kernel posted, enjoy!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jasherpowers:
Is it just me, or does this newest kernel FLY?? My Atrix HD feels like a new phone. What changed?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hah, I wish I could take all the credit - but I didn't really do anything in this kernel.

There's a changelog associated with every kernel - all I did with this one was (permanently) remove the smoothass governor and pull in the latest CM patches - there were a few, but nothing jumped out at me in respect to performance.

Glad you enjoy it tho! :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] , does the new kernel implement the new init method which detects and writes the correct model number and other device-specific info? If you don't know what I mean, you can look at the last few pages of the CM11 thread in Development section.

You're mixing and matching kernels & ROM's. The kernel is from 2/21, ROM you have is 2/16.

I don't recommend this. Please flash the latest build of Carbon, which as was pointed out is the moto_msm8960 device now.

Hey Argh, for some reason, when I put the phone in charge after installing your kernel, everything is slow until I detache it from the charger... any ideas about it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
?

I have noticed that with mine before, but I have not installed this kernel. No idea what it could be.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
LOL! Wow. You guys really need to be more specific when submitting issues...

What are you using to flash? TWRP? CWM? Do you have the latest?

You're flashing the .zip attached to the first post, or something else?

Edit - what firmware are you running too? Have you taken any updates? Are you using anything else special? Give as much detail as possible please!!! I need to figure out why some phones would work and others would not...

I assume the .zip flashes fine? No errors?

Hm. Sounds like this isn't an issue with my kernel per se, but perhaps an issue with the kernel in general (or userland, who knows...)

Can you get some logs from when the slowness is happening? Maybe look at top to see what is pegging the processor?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JaceAlvejetti:
FWIW: My Phone which is working fine, Was flashed to The Almost Stock Rom over asa14-stock-ota using the newest TWRP, then either that night or the next day I flashed this kernel(again using TWRP), Both flashes were accompanied by wiping cache and dalvik following the flashing process,

Launcher: Nova (with prime, doubt it matters) Stock is still installed though

cpu control: setCPU (shawing over clock ability and using it well)

sd card: 16gb sandisk, the lower class black one

no build.prop tweaks of my own, no ## changes either

arrrghhh if I have any info you would like from a working user don't hesitate to ask
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Thank you for your feedback!

It definitely helps sectionalize... I have always been using TWRP as well (for a few reasons... lol) so maybe that's it?

Guys that are busted, are you all using CWM?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
Just to throw a wrench in your problem solving, i have been using cwm and it works fine. No problems flashing
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Eh, no worries mate. I'm glad that it works on CWM to be honest... But still disturbed a few don't boot.

Hey, to all you folks that can't boot. I'm going to upload all the kernels here in a few - can you please try all of the new ones? Start with 0.06.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Alright guys, kernels are up. Thinking about trying to go lower than 192mhz... IIRC I hit something ridiculously low like 19.2mhz.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sixxt9:
Can't wait ... if we can at least get stable 96mhz working I'll be more than fine with that. In the meantime I'm loving the .09 kernel and I greatly appreciate all of the work
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
Could not of said it better. Slow is good sometimes
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Your wishes have been granted!

0.10 goes down to 96 mhz :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] topherrjames:
I've tried the .09 .08 and .07 kernels flashing from TWRP 2.4.1 onto the Almost Stock ROM. I did have the mod that enabled the notification toggles and battery percent installed, but I also tried the kernels without it installed. And it seems to flash fine with no errors, though it does seem a little too fast of an install.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So all the same? Doesn't boot, just hangs at the "Unlocked Bootloader" screen?

Hmmmm if 0.07 didn't work, then I guess it's not an overclock thing as that has a very slight OC.....

Did you try wiping cache/dalvik cache?

It flashes pretty quick, just a kernel.

What else... did 0.06 work? That's basically vanilla moto source rebuilt with my machine.

Also, did you have issues with the older kernels before? Have you tried any of the older kernels? Wifi probably won't work, but that should be the only thing missing. Just curious if they even boot for ya :mad:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
you are the man :highfive:

Thanks again for all the work. Finally this phone is showing us what it can really do. Good things always come to those who wait. Drinks are on me!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Haha, thanks!

So y'know what I found? I am running this kernel (0.10) on the original firmware... and wifi is working.

Seems to be working great in fact.

I flipped over to that 'nearly stock' ROM, and wifi works there as well.

No clue what I have done, but it seems anyone can run this kernel on any version of firmware!!

I'd still like to sort out why a few can't boot obviously - so those of you that cannot boot, keep giving me info. If anyone wants to join on IRC, I am on at random times in #oudhitsquad.

Take it easy!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Uhm... I don't think the phone is the issue. It's the Model Number showing unknown...

Did you try my latest kernel? It "should" be fixed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] clockcycle:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
'Unknown' model is the source of the issue... why it happens is a bit confusing.

https://github.com/CarbonDev/androi..._msm8960/blob/kk/init/init_moto_msm8960.c#L79

That line should detect mb886, and set the DPI as well as the model number. Works great on my Q...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
Borrowing your post for the sake of making the issue clear.

Just got my own RAZR M today and flashed CM11+Feb27 kernel immediately. Also re-flashed my Photon Q with the same combo. Bootanimation is still ridiculously large, seems like it's still using the 720p version even though both devices are 540p. What's more, the model numbers are respectively displayed as "RAZR M" and "PHOTON Q" instead of the correct "XT907" and "XT897" (Why not? Who did the script?!).

Seeing that the Atrix above also have this issue, I reflashed CM11 but WITHOUT the Feb27 kernel - and all symptoms remain. Bad job, CM. :mad:

Perhaps it's time for Skrilax to step up and investigate.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Excuse me? CM didn't do a bad job. They made the script say PHOTON Q or RAZR M.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...60/blob/cm-11.0/init/init_moto_msm8960.c#L154

That is intentional. What's wrong with it?

The issue the Atrix HD folks are having is their model number shows up "unknown", and therefore it seems none of the other props are getting set either.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...60/blob/cm-11.0/init/init_moto_msm8960.c#L154 <<< if you look a few lines below this, the DPI is set to 320. If their model is showing "unknown", this DPI (along with anything else in that section) is not getting set properly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
So they *intentionally* use the devices' *names* instead of *model numbers* to fill in what's supposed to be a field for model numbers? This would totally mess up the model recognition function in many apps (and potentially Play Store? I don't know). Ain't a good idea as I see it - why not just the model numbers?

Moto msm8960 CM maintainers are David Hacker, Emerson Pinter, me and Skrilax.

So saying "CM did a bad job, let's call Skrilax" is ... funny.

None of CM maintainers owns Atrix HD nor Razr M, so we depend on information provided by users.

That's why there are these threads used to gather cmdline information needed for unified build:

Photon Q (CSpire model)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2656570

It's possible that there is a device variant out there that is not yet treated correctly by the init_msm_properties function. (I'm pretty sure it's the case of at least CSpire Photon Q at this time.)

Please list at least a few of those "many apps" that make decisions based on the value of ro.product.model property, thanks.

We may rethink that decision, but I don't know any such app currently (and I wouldn't use anything like that in my own app).

Play Store app <> device compatibility is based on ro.build.fingerprint property, btw.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
Oh wow, I don't know that... Sorry for rudeness, I was outta my minds :banghead: But still, I insist that the "model number" field should be filled by the model number itself, like what Moto did, not the device name. Doing this or not is of course your call.

One example I know of for sure is AnTuTu Benchmark, but I'm sure you don't care about that.

On another hand, where are those newly-set values (model numbers, fingerprints, etc.) added/stored? I checked the build.prop and they weren't there. Are there any other prop files that store these?

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
System property values are handled by the property service that is part of init binary.

When a process asks for a value of a property, it's the property service who responds with the currently set value.

The property files as build.prop, local.prop and default.prop are just one possible source from which the system properties values can be filled.

There are various levels at which certain property definitions take precedence. E.g. the persistent.* properties are filled from /data/property/ files and what is set in e.g. build.prop is not necessarily relevant in the persistent case, what's set by user in /data/property takes precedence.

So the property values can be filled either from property files, or they can be just set by the setprop commands called in init scripts or binaries.

The ro.* properties can be set only once during one boot, so in the case of ro.* properties, the rule is who sets it first wins.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
Then what commands are setting them and where are they written in, anyway? I'm asking because the model number I write in build.prop overwrites the one provided by default, and I don't understand why... (Isn't it that build.prop has a very low priority?)

One more thing: I know this is irrelevant to Photon Q development, but since you are one of the maintainers of moto_msm8960 nightlies, could you please take a look at this weird lag issue on RAZR M across CM10.2 and CM11: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2667540

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] , since the CM11 kernel is supposedly compatible with all moto_msm8960 devices, will device-specific patches also be included, and will a patch from one device affect another?

I'm asking the question because the RAZR M just got a patch that fixed major lag on CM11 (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50813344 ). Since it's device-specific, I wonder if this will be included in your next unified kernel as well, and if that would cause any troubles for other devices. Thank you.

Does anyone know if CM11 and Arggh kernel will allow for Link2SD app to work. It requires the external SD card to have a dual partition. One is used for normal storage and the other is recognized by the app and you can send data to that invisible partition to keep from using internal phone space OR the external storage space.
