Hi

Is wheatley only for aosp and cm?

edit: never mind I'm a dingus again. You added it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Trying some tweaks, will have a new CM kernel up.

Pulled some patches from bytecode's kernel - so the code from CM hasn't changed, so a ROM that is after 9/26 (current last commit from CM) should be fine.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] bentear:
It doesn't appear anywhere in selection, and yes I like to be hard on cpu 's is why
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Woah, are you dragging up the 'performance' governor issue again?

Can someone else confirm this doesn't exist? I can definitely find it in the source, I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up in the selections.

Also, how we likin the new kernel folks? Notice any differences? :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SuperiorTek:
Can't seem to a able to download your 10.1 kernel, the link won't work in my browser. Great job with these kernels btw.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hah, sorry buddy. That was my goof, try it again :good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
i can confirm that performance governor does not exist for me. i am on the 9/29 kernel i havent flashed the 9/30 kernel yet. anything in particular i should look for after i flash it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] topherrjames:
Same here, its not there for me, and I'm using the 9/19 kernel.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well that's really strange, but thanks for confirming guys...

I didn't remove it, where did it go? lol. I'll keep poking around, hopefully not too many people use this governor (it's the battery/processor killer!)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Just built it in line with my rom, will report back once I have had some testing time. :D good work
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SuperiorTek:
I got it thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TecknoFreak:
Im testing the one from September 29th and you hit the nail on that one. All of mine gaming and video issues are no longer present. I'M LOVING IT!!!!!!!

Sent from my Atrix HD using ProBAM rom and XDA 4 Premium
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] LifeInTheGrey:
I know it's a bit late, but just installed 9/30 and performance governor is not present. Doesn't affect me, though, happy wheatley user. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...2/arch/arm/configs/msm8960_mmi_defconfig#L640

both performance and conservative governors are not enabled in the config...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ah, I checked a few places but evidently missed that one...

I thought I did check for my stock kernel. Thanks!

Edit - Hah, seems it's not there either. I'll enable these two governors and rebuild all three kernels.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
Just flashed the Oct 1 kernel. Still no performance governor. Just wanna try it to see where the phone benchmarks with it
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well that was dumb. Made the change... committed it... didn't push.

:eek:

Will have a new one out, and I will delete the Oct.1... as it's literally just Sep.30's again!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Happens to the best of us. ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Haha, yea I've done it before that's for sure...

Anyhoo, should be good. Try the new kernel!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] St.Noigel:
Tried it right now... bootloop (((

Why it just 7 Mb? I

UPD - kustom kernel is 0.97?

I flash it to my 0.98... ((((
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hm, I had someone else just flash...

Are you using CM10.2?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Flashed the newest and all is running good.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] St.Noigel:
I flash it to PACMAN 4.3 nightly 10.01 (3.0.97 native kernel) and it`s works perfect!

P.S. I flashed it to 02.10 PACMAN 4.3 nightly (3.0.98 native kernel) before
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
going to test now thanks!

edit, just flashed this on top of cm10.2 10/2 and it wouldnt boot at all. just got a weird blue pixelated screen and it wouldnt boot

cheers to hoping you can merge it with the latest commits now! :thumbsup:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Dang, I thought I just checked those this morning but evidently not...

I'm a bit behind indeed, even tho I just rebuilt. Haha! I need to learn to git pull more :)

Edit - 10.2 kernel is now up-to-date... sorry about that folks! Working on 10.1.

Edit 2 - 10.1 kernel is up as well. Enjoy!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Malvarose:
Which one would I use for Carbon ROM? RAZR M.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
The CM-based kernel. If you're on Carbon 4.2, use the CM10.1 kernel that closely matches the date you are on for Carbon.

If you are staying up to date with Carbon 4.3, then use the latest kernel which closely matches the ROM date you are on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Malvarose:
I tried the CM one, Oct 2nd. Mine is Oct 1st. My phone just stays booting and chops the boot logo after a while.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superp32:
I have been using the latest versions with carbon or cm nightlies for the past month and have been very happy with your work but the latest carbon nightly isn't working with the last 3 kernel updates . I am a noob and have no idea why just thought I'd give you a heads up . Thanks for the great work !

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 AM ----------

Use the 9/30 nightly with the newest kernel it works great . I have no idea why the newest nightly isn't working but had the same problem mine actually booted but still had the choppy/fuzzy screen etc...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Vnvjeep:
Seeing some major video corruption on the 10/2-2 kernel on my xt926 running carbon 4.3 10/2 nightly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, seems we have some issues with the CM commits folks.

One of two things - the next set of ROM's tomorrow will work with it. Or, there will be issues with tomorrow's set of ROM's :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
I'm running the newest kernel with the official 10/3 nightly with no problems.

Cm 10.2
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Cool, pretty much confirms my last post. Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jryan79:
Flashed new kernel on the 9/28 build caused bootloop if anyone's having problems with bootloops could be not having the newest nightly installed will DL the new nightly and check to see if it bootloops too
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] interloper:
Updated Kernel

Ok, this is based on whatever arrrghhh did, updated to new source base and including all new modules. It may work, but maybe not. If I were you, I'd wait for someone else to flash it so you can secretly laugh when they get all frustrated. (Or it works and you secretly loathe them because they were brave and first) If the clock settings are still wonky I'm pretty sure I can fix that. Let me know how it goes. And when you do, provide as many technical details as possible, ie, what time you flashed, if you had desert, if you enjoy flowers, and a kmsg/logcat. If you have the full Android(tm) SDK, you can get s bit cooler with some sysdumps and other cool stuff. Cheers and good luck!

IT'S A TRAP!!!

not a link...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rennert:
Don't work:(

Phone doesn't boot, hangs on bootlogo and after few seconds start recovery. I restored boot and system;)

...Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] interloper:
ok, sometimes I do dumb stuff. See, I'm used to working on devices I don't own. That means I do stuff, put it out for testers, jump into their panic when it fails and fix whatever I can (hopefully). Well, I have the phone sitting right next to me, and I can just test it myself, except I haven't done the update. But, I know the kernel work, because I flashed it with fastboot. So, it must be the modules or the permissions. Trouble it, I lose adb in recovery, and flashing a new kernel does not fix the bootloop. You will have to restore to get booting again. I can remove the modules from the zip and repost it, but I still can't test it with the update. It's up to you, SuperUser, to venture once again into the unknown and flash from BEYOND!!!

This one works on my device.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rennert:
Kernel works, but no WLAN. This affect is like arghh kernel 0.0.5 flash on system update 77.8.10

Overclocking works;)

...Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] interloper:
I figured, based on an experience with the E4GT, it was a modversion issue, but looks like something else/ Can you get a kmsg and logcat? If you reboot with WIFI on, last_kmsg will be nice too. Thanks. My WIFI works; same kernel, same flash, no update?!?!?!?!?!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rennert:
Arghhh kernel also works with WLAN on non-updated system. After update to 77.8.10 wlan can't activate.

Tomorrow i test your kernel again and post logcat;)

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rennert:
Now Is there a custom kernel avaible for updated system?

Back to the original

Hello everybody.

someone can tell me how i can go back to the original Kernel. I need my wireless :)

Thank you

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] bigtex06:
How bout a different governor for extreme battery life. Something with a deep sleep.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You took a backup before flashing, right? Restore your backup.

My code is available...

I think there's a few governors provided... which ones were you thinking about? There's a ton.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Nykoon:
I used CWM to backup. i made the restore but is not working.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] interloper:
so the update added a graphicsd driver and the old kernel does not have the commands to init the driver or start the services etc, which is at least one difference I have discovered so far. It's not wifi related at all.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zvonkorp:
i have no wifi with this, the clock speed isn't sticking either not sure what to do about that.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I haven't updated to the new system, so this kernel is for the old system. If you updated, don't use this kernel.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vangelm:
Hello everybody!

So, if I install this kernel on new ROM (77.8.10), wifi and 3G will not work? On which version of ROM this kernel will be OK? Its possible to get back older ROM, if I am already updated? I have root, unlocked bootloader and CWM... Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
This kernel is not fit for the new update from Motorola. I never updated my phone, and thus never updated the kernel...

The only thing you'll miss is wifi. 3g should work fine.

You can always take a backup before flashing and restore your backup if something goes haywire. Just make sure you backup everything, and of course - I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone! Enjoy!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Gojira-r32:
a shame, got the same, wifi not working, stupid update hahahahah lol

Hope topic starte brings out an update of his famish kernel :good:

No update Arrrgh ? That's a shame, because i like you're productions ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ssconceptz:
Updated: Nevermind this kernel is old..........
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey guys...

Finally got off my duff and decided to look for Moto's updated kernel source (especially since we have a flashable ROM based on it now...)

Lo and behold, Moto updated their source - so I have updated my kernel!

I'm really freakin tired right now, so I've only attached it to the first post for now. Please download it, 0.06 - again this will ONLY work on the updated system. So asa-14. If you are running stock updated firmware, this should work - or if you are running this rom, I know it works (because I tested it ;)).

Enjoy!!

Edit... I must really be tired, as the kernel I posted didn't boot lol. It was booting, before I applied some underclocking stuff.... Trying to sort that now.

Edit 2... Well, it seems I am really tired, as I can't seem to get the kernel to boot anymore. I figured posting a kernel with my name on it and no other tangible changes would be useless... so hopefully I can sort this out in the morning. Sorry folks!

Edit 3 - lol, someone PM'd me about the kernel, so 0.06 is posted, but vanilla for asa-14 firmware. No changes to the kernel other than rebuilt with my toolchain from source. Not sure what the overclock issue is, but it seems I was not able to apply the same patch as before to enable this...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Gojira-r32:
what are the modifications in this kernel AAaarrgghhh ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Please, do you best to have the nightly ROM version with the kernel version. They are closely related, just read the last few posts...

So if you're on a ROM from 9/28, flashing a kernel from Oct.2 can cause issues. No guarantees, but please don't post until you've at least ruled that aspect out.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lukkypuggy:
What would you do for CM10.1.3 STABLE? Sept 23.

Wasnt there issues from the 19th to the end of september?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, you can certainly experiment with the kernels - all I can say is for the best experience, it's usually best to match the date :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
Hey man. I've been on the kernel using wheatly and battery life seems to be taking a toll. I don't have it overclocked but min frequency is at 96

Edit: Wow realized I had it overclocked. I'll report back with updates tomorrow
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
There's also a lot of new kernel commits, might be a factor ;).

Try snapdragon battery guru . its made for our processor and works amazing . Download it from play store its worth it .

arrrghhh-Oct2_2013-CM2_2

CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131004-0043-mb886

Good to go ?? or should I wait for updated kernel ? p.s I know it's a stupid question but do I need unlocked bootloader for these two ?

[motorola - mb886 atrix hd] stock jb - rooted - recovery installed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Neighbor808:
Sometimes ROMs may have newer build dates but older kernel dates (I think) but i wouldn't try to flash. Wait for a kernel update to Oct 4 or later. And yes, you need unlocked bootloader for every thing you ever flash, since you need unlocked BL for CWM anyways.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yes you need to have a custom recovery (unlocked bootloader) to flash this.

If you flashed Carbon, you can flash this.

As for your other question, see below.

I thought I made this clear, but I suppose it's still confusing.

Look at this branch:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common/commits/cm-10.2

Currently, last commit is October 2nd. That means, nothing upstream has happened since October 2nd. Now I could make changes, but that probably wouldn't be anything earth shattering. It's when the kernel version jumps when I notice people having the most problems (IE 3.0.97-->3.0.98).

Watch that branch, and make sure that hasn't changed. If it hasn't (like today being the 5th, but no updates since the 2nd) you can run this kernel fairly safely on any CM or CM-based ROM after October 3rd, until there are updates again :).

If you are unsure, just try to match the kernel date with the ROM date. If you can't, then either wait or grab the latest and hope :p. This is what backups are for, right?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Kernel bugfix version actually doesn't mean much.

It's this:

Some of the kernel header files are used when certain user space libraries (located in /system/lib) are compiled.

User space has to match the kernel space and the header files define how the user space should talk to kernel space.

So it's sufficient to watch for the commits that are affecting the include folder (where the header files are):

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common/commits/cm-10.2/include

Btw., most often, it's changes to GPU kernel drivers (kgsl) what requires newly rebuilt user space GPU related libraries. (But other times it can be also the display, sound or media subsystem components.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ah interesting. I figured watching the entire tree is best, but watching just the include folder is much easier.

Thanks!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superp32:
OK so I was having the blurry screen issue with the newest carbon and cm nightlies but after trying a few different things I have got them both too work fine . There are 2 diff Oct/2 kernels one of them works I'm not sure which one because my phone downloaded them as the same just says arrrghhh kernel cm2 , 1 and 2 . I also had to clear my cache and devlek cache but its worth it ! Phone is very smooth . I think its the kernel that has performance governor but not 100% sure. Hope that helps and thanks again arrrghhh you da man.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orangzeb:
Thanks for in depth explanation I think I will wait for update of your kernel to match the rom I have then...

I used myth tool to install recovery now how am I suppose to boot into recovery I tried pressing volume down multiple times / touching screen multiple times no go
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
What does this have to do with my kernel? lol.

You an either use an app (Fast Reboot, QuickBoot, etc), or if you are on a custom ROM, typically you can enable "Advanced Reboot" which when you choose to reboot the phone it provides a 'recovery' option.

Or, you can do the button presses. On my Q, it used to be power+vol up while the device was off. Release power when the screen is on, continue to hold vol up until you see the screen change.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orangzeb:
ummm sorry mate I was just askin.... but don't worry it's just matter of time when I'm on your kernel ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jryan79:
Alternatively if you already have root you can use terminal and reboot into the recovery that way by. Using the. Su reboot recovery cmd
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lslacker:
I think they're up to 3.99 now but I haven't noticed any issues with your 10/2 kernel. Been running great :)

I tried flashing latest Oct 7 on a ROM that hasn't been updated since Sept 11, I got still TV screen static on reboot and a discolored, glitching boot animation (what the hell lol?) and it couldn't boot into anything but fastboot. Got it up and running again but I didn't expect that... Would I run into issues with new kernel on a PA build from Sept 29 or should I stick with October 2nd..
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
ROM hasn't been updated since Sept 11?!

I would try to match the ROM to the kernel as closely as possible. Anything else, and you're playing with fire - it may or may not work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SuperiorTek:
Hey arrrghhh good job with the lastest kernel. Performance Governor works really well on latest carbon. Thanks.

Ive tried all of your CM10.1 Kernels within a week the the sept stable release for CM.

My result is extreme lag.

Went back and re-flashed the ROM and everything is running smooth...

Not sure if this helps you identify any problems but im putting it out there.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
What's the date?

Are they still releasing CM10.1?

Did you try 10.2? That might be the issue. Maybe I shouldn't be updating the 10.1 kernel...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] noobiest:
Arrrghhh, I read a response you posted in the carbon thread about carier and settings that determine mms issues. I'm running 10/7 pac and 10/7 arrrghhh kernel clean flash for XT926 (vzw). Still can't send mms. What should my settings be?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Sorry, I have a Photon Q on Sprint. You'll have to verify with your carrier or someone else with your device/carrier.

Edit - I should say had... Did you try any third party apps like GoSMS?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superp32:
I had that problem and the pure performance zip fixed it for me idk why I'm a noob but it worked. Hope that helps.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lslacker:
Hey arrrghhh any update on why the latest kernel is affecting LTE and MMS on Carbon? It's definitely the kernel. Stock Carbon ROM works just fine. I just wish stock carbon had the OC and governor options your kernel has.

[MENTION=2773152]argghh[/MENTION] i'm not sure what it is about your kernel vs stock kernel, but i seem to get much much better battery life on the stock CM kernel. unfortunate cause i want to use yours too
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Overclocking probably doesn't help... and someone also said that underclocking, despite it seeming like it would help battery life, actually hurts it - the theory being that the processor has to be on for longer to do the same task...

To me, if the thing is idle you'd want it at the lowest possible frequency, but that is not valid (I've been told).

But as always, track your wakelocks etc. Battery life is such a fickle thing, something like Exchange Services or poor signal can completely ruin it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] steveo17:
yeah i've read that too. i've had it just untouched. not over or under clocked and it still seems to just drain faster. who knows
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penser:
What exactly is a wake lock and how do you track them?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, I use an app called "WakeLock Detector"

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/defend-your-battery-with-wakelock-detector/

Basically a wakelock is just that - keeps the device (processor) awake. It's a kernel thing, you can read more about it here.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I assume you're building the stock kernel, not the CM one?

Just extract it from a stock boot.img - http://www.android-dls.com/wiki/?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

If you're building CM, just do a make bootimage on the CM source - this was the only way I could reliably get it to work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JaceAlvejetti:
First thanks for the quick reply, and actually I am working on the CM I think, heck I may have pulled the wrong repo entirely but Like i said Ill let the pros handle my day to day, I just want to learn

alright ill loo kinto the make bootimage Thanks again!
