[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Uhm... What?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Xplorer4x4:
Not sure where I lost you but I feel the latest kernel is a step back performance wise compared to the stock KitStalk kernel. When playing music and my screen rotates it always produces a horrible screeching sound.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Latest I just started building with a new toolchain. If perhaps the ROM you are running doesn't seem to work well with this new toolchain, use the older kernel - there's no difference other than the toolchain currently.

As for performance goes, I noticed a boost running on this new toolchain... So I'm not sure what that says, but I don't run BeanStalk or that app, perhaps one of the two is not compatible with the 4.10 toolchain.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
I use apollo and can nopt say I noticed the sound on layout change, but I usually keep it in portrait mode. However, when using the latest Kernel, I noticed the lock and unlock sounds were distorted. Re flashing the previous Kernel fixed the issue 100%. So, there would appear to be some audio issues with the latest build.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I still can't recreate this...

Well, like I said reverting to the previous kernel, there's no changes other than the toolchain built. Perhaps 4.10 is a little too bleeding edge...

I'm thinking about trying some other toolchains as well, perhaps find one that works well and release two versions of the AnyKernel - one with toolchain 'experiments', and one which is vanilla, built using GCC 4.7.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
As from the other thread, I am using Viper as well.

I'm personally happy to revert to the current previouis as the Vanilla version, and have you build newer versions as the "experiments"; if this older kernel keeps working with newer version of the ROM; in my case being Carbon.

As flashing the Kernel is easy to revert (as compared to a full ROM). Since there is no crash logs I guess current logs would be of no use, however, if you wish to build a "test" kernel with extra logging, I would be happy to run it to try and capture any extra logging that may help.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Xplorer4x4:
Can I get a link to the previous cm kernel? Also having audio issues in YouTube.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
There's all the links you need in post #5.

can you sed us something about razr hd/m kernel sources , maybe you cooking something special already for us :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Xplorer4x4:
Opps sorry mised that! Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure the Q is getting it... so I wouldn't be able to test it. Also, it's for stock 4.4, if anything gets integrated into the CM kernel then everyone benefits...

I'm having no problems with this latest kernel on my photon Q.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
These experiments, which toolchains are you looking at using?

Also, no issues for me other than the mpdecision driver being a PITA when I am trying to conserve power.

Edit: Also I can't wait to see it hit 2GHz, which is the same clock speed as my first laptop. (More of a desktop guy)

Sent from my Carbonized Atrix HD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well the first was GCC 4.10 SaberMod w/Graphite. Some phones didn't seem to like it haha. Was going to reel back a bit and try GCC 4.8 from Google. I used to build with Linaro, maybe give that a shot as well.

As for hitting 2ghz, seems unlikely. Some phones can get about 1.99, depending on their ACPU clock - whether it's 'fast' or 'nominal' or 'slow'.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be exactly 2GHz, but even 1.99 would be a boost.

On another note, if you wanted to make another attempt on a GPU OC, I'll be willing to test if you needed testing. Although it does look like you kept the 1st attempt if I was looking at the source correctly. :cool:

Sent from my Carbonized Atrix HD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
My phone gets 1.89 as its top clock speed. So I wouldn't see 2.0GHz as that big of a gain.

On a side note, and maybe a little off topic, I am sure I have read where people have assumed the "random" screen of static that occurs on boot has something to do with our custom kernels, however, I think I experienced something that would indicate otherwise.

I recently got an XT905 and went through the root, unlock bootloader, install custom kernel and ROM etc etc and was experiencing the screen of random pixels during the boot; which only bothered me a little, and I came accustomed to seeing it. another weird thing is that even though I have an unlocked bootloader, I do not get a warning screen on boot of such.

Now, a couple of days ago, I broke my phone, so have had to get a new one. This meant going through the root, unlock bootloader flash kernel/ROM etc etc. The surprising thing was that the random-pixel screen actually appeared straight after unlocking the bootloader. ie BEFORE i flashed a custom Kernel/ROM. So on the standard kernel & ROM, I got the random-pixel screen (with an unlocked bootloader, and root, but normal boot with just root).:silly:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
Well, seeing how around a 300 MHz gain from stock made quite the boost on ROMs, another 100 MHz is going to see some more boost, not saying a lot, but anything helps when it comes to speed

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ryankliber:
Looking over the cm code I noticed a commit from dhacker today that I believe changes the kernel of msm8960 to use the msm8960dt kernel (3.4). And I notice code changes in the dt version making it compatible with the msm8960 devices.

Edit: maybe I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing, but dhacker has been running 3.4 on his hd and said he would finalize a build tonight.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TecknoFreak:
Great news.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
A little off topic and not really specific to this kernel, but I am nt sure where else to ask, so sorry :o

When the phone is off, and plugged into a charger, the kernel must be started / running, as I notice that underneath, it is running my init.d scripts (I have one that causes the phone to vibrate at 3 regular intervals after boot, and the phone does vibrate when its off) I was wondering if there is any specific file I could read from the file system that signifies that the phone is on or off when running the script?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Never used it and I'm not sure if it'd work but /proc/sys/kernel/boot_reason records the reason why/how device powered on.

See here for details. "0" should be normal power up.

Just out of curiosity - what is the puprose of this vibrate on boot?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
OT: Sounds perfect. The purpose for the vibrate at this stage is simply for my info. I have created an asynchronous init.d version of boot scripts, which run at low priority, in parallel in the background, so I just wanted to know when they actually did something (as some had long sleeps), without reading my log files.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
My friend has a question, he has a Motorola Atrix HD on AT&T, being that it's latest update is only 4.1.1 JB, which version should he use?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well it sounds like he's on the stock ROM... Custom ROM's are up to 4.4.3 (for the most part now) or 4.4.2 at least.

There's a stock kernel in post #2. Post #1 explains it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ryankliber:
No ota for the photon q means you won't be updating this kernel to 3.4 right?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
He wants to stay on stock ROM, there is no update *yet*, so he should use FFW-5?

Sent from my Gummy Atrix HD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
This is a question for the Atrix HD forums, sorry. I don't have an Atrix HD.

I'm not sure how the heck I can test something that isn't for my device.

Hoping the razrqcom folks can figure out something. A bit above my pay grade.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
and unfortunately I get 0 for normal boot and also 0 when the phone is off and then plugged into the USB charger, but left "off". Doh! but it is at least running my script while the phone is off.

FYI: The reason I am wanting this is for a boot script that will automatically turn the phone on at 7am every morning, as every night I turn the phone off, and leave it on the charger. But on the off chance that I turn the phone on before that time, I do not want it to reboot on me. Until I find this "flag" somewhere, I guess I will have to run the risk of waking up before 7am. not that big a risk...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
There is also /data/chargeonlymode

And /proc/bootreason

There is the accompanying property ro.bootmode

Another prop exists: sys.chargeonly.mode that should be set only when in charge only mode.

Pleas note that I have no idea how much of it is available during charge only mode and how much of system is actually booted (e.g. is busybox available to your script. etc. I would guess it is since the init.d is running)

I think that /data/chargeonlymode is empty unless the device is in charge only mode. if charging it should have content of "charging". sys.chargeonly.mode should be 1 when charging. But do not take this for granted, I probably screwed up some concept so the sources are below:

charge_only_mode : /data/chargeonlymode ,

mot_boot_mode : ro.bootmode, sys.chargeonly.mode, also check line 25

Strictly (more-less) speaking, the device is off only when powerd down. If there is anything running it is no longer turned off, e.g. it booted operating system, recovery mode, fastboot mode, charge only mode...

You haven't stated but if notifications, calls, etc are an issue and you do not want to be disturbed during sleep why not set it to airplane mode and simply set an alarm at desired time?

Edit: This is horribly off-topic. You or OP should probably request moderators to move to q&a and title it charge only or whatever.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hugodefcon:
What app can i use to change the voltage?

I am on stock rom using this kernel.

Kernel tuner doesnt work it force closes, i would like to uv a bit.

Any good apl that works with the xt925 on stock
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I assume you're rooted?

NoFrills seemed to work the best. Trickster is nice, but I think there was some issue with the clock levels not sticking.

Either way, only use ONE app at a time to control it - otherwise you will have issues.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hugodefcon:
yes i am rooted.

how can under volt with no frills?

i will try trickster.

i dobt where the option to undervolt is on no frills.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] LPMatt:
I haven't used Nofrills, but have tried a few others. I use ROM Toolbox pro because it has so many features in one place. Voltage settings are in a tab under cpu control. Works fine for me.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Byakko Custom:
Ok, let me make this quick and painless...

Carbon Rom 0612 ~ 0616 Nightlies + arrrghhh's kernel.

CPU Frequency Settings won't apply properly.

Max Freq always 1512 MHz or 1998 MHz (With the latter the only overclock setting. No way to underclock.)

Min Freq seems to apply properly, as well as Governor, I/O Scheduler, and Voltage Settings.

(Posted here since Carbon thread is desolate and because I'm using your kernel. :P)

It would almost seem as if 4.4.3 broke something in the kernel

Sent from my Carbonized Atrix HD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I didn't respond to your question in the Carbon thread because it seemed unrelated to Carbon. If you're running the stock kernel and it works fine, then it's not related to Carbon.

Perhaps so. I will look into it.

Have you guys tried using something else other than the built-in Performance Settings? I know CM has made some changes to them lately, may be causing this issue.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
Fauxclock, nofrillz, and ROM toolbox pro (not all in one time) and still same results

Sent from my Carbonized Atrix HD
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Byakko Custom:
I forgot to mention it happens regardless of using your kernel or not. My bad... :derp:

I tested it on a clean flash of the 0613 build. Afterwards, I've been checking if the bug gets fixed in the nightly updates...

Edit:

I tried SetCPU, Performance Control, NoFrills, and TricksterMOD... Same results as above.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ah. Ya, must be a 4.4.3 thing then. Have you tried on CM? Same bug exists?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Byakko Custom:
Haven't checked CM yet, but I'm about to as soon as my backup finishes.

Edit:

Happens on CM11 0615 Nightly with stock kernel and your kernel.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Thanks buddy. So it's upstream.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
When you say they "wont apply" do you mean that they don't stick after a reboot, or that they wont even apply temporarily?

Have you tried setting the CPU clock frequencies using an init.d script? Not a fix I know, but a thought.

Untested, and only for the first CPU of two:

bb=busybox
vHZ=1890000
$bb chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq;
$bb echo "$vHZ" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq;
$bb chmod u=r,g=r,o=r /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq

Actually, another wild thought, have you checked if your max freq aligns to the values in this file? check the poermissions on this file, maybe its set to "read only" and therefore is fixed / unchangeable from the interface.

On a different note, do these "ArchiDroid" kernel optimizations apply to us at all? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754997
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I tried the 'JustArchi' optimizations (v2 & v3) on my Photon Q... didn't seem to help a ton, and in fact I would get a lot of graphical glitches after a few days of uptime. Never experienced that before or since, and I was only testing Archi - no other tweaks.

Based on that thread, there's probably some options which don't play nice with the Q - but it didn't seem worth it to find the "bad" setting since I didn't notice dramatic improvements.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sinterion:
So I have noticed there are 7 new commits to the CM kernel as of today, but we'll have to see if that will fix the problem with the clock resetting.

Sent from my Carbonized Atrix HD

Edit: After flashing the build with the fixes included, the frequencies stuck, so it must have been 4.4.3 related
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
I'm doing well with this kernel and running Carbon ROM on an XT905, with frequency range from 144 to 1890. However one slightly off thing, is that in the performance settings, when looking at the "Time in state", it keeps on saying that an "Unused CPU state" is 1728 MHz, but that CPU state isn't in the list above as one of the clock frequencies.:confused:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
update please

Arrrghhh, I see 8 commits to cm11 kernel since last update. Please release an update for us die hard PhotonQ owners. :)

May 25 release has been rock solid for me. getting 1890 with undervolt at work to save battery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure if you've seen the posts, but CM updated the -common kernel for all moto_msm8960 devices - in fact it's now unified with the moto_msm8960dt kernel - which our PhotonQ's will have to be running a different kernel.

Kabaldan is working hard to get the 3.4 kernel working on the Q, but I don't think it will be unified at all. XT897 will become its own device again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Always appreciate your work.

Which version of your kernel would be the best our last CM11 milestone that was just realeased... ?

They do not work for the new 3.4 setup. They are made for the old 3.0 configuration.

I will probably have to rework my kernel for 3.4 completely. Seems like xt897 will be somewhat unified with the kernel of the other moto's, so hopefully the bootloader difference won't matter.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Xplorer4x4:
Kitstalk has been somewhat back ported I guess you could say. The dev is posting the latest updates for the ROM but using the old jb bootloader. Because of WiFi issues I switched back to the jb bl and suspect a descent portion of other have flashed back. After your vacation would you be able to keep updating this for those who stuck with the old bl?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Is the kernel behind? I maybe be a commit or two, but not many - there really hasn't been any changes to the 3.0 kernel since the 3.4 one was released.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] peladoro:
Sorry for obvious question possibly but been using your anykernel:beer: with pa on xt925 was wondering can I use this with stock or do I use your 4.1.2 kernel? Thx
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Stock would need my 4.1.2 kernel. Anykernel is only for CM/CM-based ROM's.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JaceAlvejetti:
Does the phone run well at this low of a clock? i.e. I have a profile currently on my phone 6am-6pm (work hours) 1026-192 and its good, if I lower it any more is there a significant difference? also is there anything else new in .10?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Nope, just underclock to 96mhz is in 0.10.

Unless you set the max to 96mhz, you should never really notice it - as the phone will automatically go up to your max clock (1026 in your case).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Gojira-r32:
what did you do with the voltages on the kernels with OC ?

same voltage or less voltages with OC ?

I like to use 1,62 or 1,7 or so, with a little less voltage if that goes, more power with Ghz but less power consuming,

and how about the GPU ? any luck with that?

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

there's something wrong with you're 0,07 download, all other kernels are 7,32Mb size, only the 07 version is 1,3Mb size, that's why it will not install

can you look at that version? it's just the version i whant lol :D

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

i'm running now 0,08 with the 1,8ghz OC.

the only way i can set clocks is with rom toolbox pro.

setcpu or system tuner doesn't stick.

now i have put profiles

charged/full 1800mhz

bat <75% 1762mhz

bat<50% 1627mhz

so far it works with the profiles

running asa14 deodexed, all mods toggle bat1%, etc..... TWRP recovery, SDcard 32Gb Class 10 ultra sandisk, unlocked botloader, custom bootlogo and boot animation, bat indicator bar
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Just because the max is 1.89 ghz doesn't mean you have to set it to 1.89 ghz... Set it where ever you wish, up to 1.89 ghz.

Still looking at GPU OC.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Gojira-r32:
that's correct ;)

but now encountered another problem,

3D doesn't work, benchmarks or games doesn't work.

will revert back to you're 0,06 version and will look, will test every version of you.

just tried some benchmarks, nothing, now trying games world at war, defence, angry birds nothing works.

will check tomorrow more
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
No clue what you're talking about... games and benchmarks are fine here. Just ran Neocore, played a few games, etc.

No problem. Make sure you haven't done something else mate....

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
This is a kernel... has nothing to do with odex/deodex...

Yes, this kernel works fine with stock Moto firmware, deodexed, whatever. So long as you can flash .zip's (IE have custom non-stock recovery: CWM or TWRP) then you will be fine.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
After using .10 since its release I have noticed a couple strange things. At first I was using setcpu and noticed that the levels I set for top speed and lower speed did not stick. Both values would stick for the short term, but would revert to 1.89 and 384. So I changed to no-frills cpu and noticed a similar problem. The upper level stays at 1.026, but the lower can be set at 96 but will revert to 384. These changes occur randomly, not only during reboot or using a certain app.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You're only using one overclock app at a time, right?

If you use multiple apps, it can affect it. I haven't checked it with frequency, but I did notice some oddities as well when I would first boot up. I'm constantly changing crap, so I figured it was that...

I wonder what would cause the clock to drift. This was noted in my previous revisions of kernels, and I never really figured it out... hmmm
