I noticed trickster mod when setting the CPU to stock the second core still goes to the highest CPU frequency It happens going into the CPU stats within trickster mod and turning the screen off and on and then unlocking the screen
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Blackest Pain:
I've noticed when using no apps (just the performance menu in settings) that the set CPU changes ever now and then back to the max (1998mhz) At random times and every now and then when the phone reboots.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i found a solution. thanks to arrrghhh with the info about NoFrills.

i am using nofrills cpu control and selected the prefered governor, scheduler and clock frequences. ticked the option "apply on boot" and under settings i enabled "prevent changes from other apps or system". with this, the cpu will only "work" between the choosen clock rates (in my example 96mhz and 1242mhz) with the selected governor and scheduler. the cyanogenmod settings for cpu are not working so "good".

even if you enable apply on boot there and select a maximum clock speed of 1242mhz, the cpu will go to the max. frequency of the cpu if you start an app. so if you set the max. frequency at 1242mhz and launch a game, the cpu will go to the highest possible clock rate, with arrrghhhs kernel it is 1998mhz.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Braccoz:
the CM performance settings does not support multi-core cpu. i tried reporting it like a year ago and submitting a "patch" (honestly that code is hideous and should be refactored altogether) but i got basically shat in the face by some random cm-moderator asshole that didn't even understand what i was talking about
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
I see https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-715 and https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-722

You should understand that PsychoI3oy's job is to serve as a filter between thousands of end user reports and the developers. His job is not to perfectly understand the issue, his job is to trash the invalid reports and assign the valid issues to the right developer (different people manage different areas of code) that can take care of it and eventually fix it. Honestly, you did a poor job when trying to pass that filter.

I can't find the gerrit review where you've submitted the fix to CM, do you have a link?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Braccoz:
i don't remember the whole matter, just that he was rude and treated me like **** + mocked me. didn't save link or anything, anyway the modification i did is in my repos (which was for cm9, but it never changed for 10.x and i bet even 11)

perhaps i submitted it personally to a cm maintainer i knew, i don't remember. but anyway nobody really cared at the time

also, to elaborate, i know mods have to do with all kind of crap all the time, and i can relate since i do too. however, as you said you have to filter and let's be honest there, the filter failed that time not me. getting an actual detailed bug report that explains the bug, the cause and the affected files is pretty darn good, i think that is the BEST kind of report any developer can get. the ****ty ones are the "it doesn't work!" ones.

anyway i digress, not the place to start arguments like this sorry for the little ot
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Blackest Pain:
Lol this reminds of how the Atrix HD PACman thread is. We just made sure we said something else with it (most of the time). Like so -

That worked. Thanks a ton, now I don't have to worry about checking it after every boot up.

i am now on the cm11 build from 28.12.2013 with arghs kernel from 28. dec. and if i make a reboot, the phone crashes after the boot. i am typing the password from the sim card and after that, some seconds later the phone crashes and makes a reboot. after this reboot the phone works fine.

anyone too experiencing this issue ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Try without my kernel, to rule it out. Also, try a newer build of CM to rule that out as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
newest cm11 nightly from 05.01.2014 ---> no crash after reboot

newest cm11 nightly from 05.01.2014 with argh kernel from 28. dez. ---> crash after reboot

apps on autostart are: AdAway, FolderMount and NoFrills CPU Control. Nofrills settings: Governor: hotplug (min freq: 96mhz, max freq: 1134mhz), scheduler: row
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, I guess gimme logs. The latest commits from CM on the 11.0 branch are from 12/23:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common/commits/cm-11.0
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
Its not the kernel arrrghhh cause it works fine for me on both the milestone and latest nightly xt926. Gotta be something else going on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Thanks, but I really need the kernel logs - dmesg or kmsg. All the logs needed should be in /data/logger.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
I was able to recreate a hard reboot using those settings with the built in cm11 performance control using hotplug/row and interactive/row. Wonder if capping speed at 1134 is locking it up ? Will try no frills later.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i have a problem with getting the log.kernel.txt from /data/logger.

i cant copy the files from there. always getting on android the message failed to write, probably enough space free. using adb with pull command says permission denied. :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
Even at stock speeds using no frills I get hard reboot using hotplug/row. Moving it off of hotplug to any other governor and all is fine. therefore I deduce that hotplug is the culprit lol.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
sorry here is the log:

http://d-h.st/rGK

here is a little smaller logfile, i created this after the reboot of the crash. maybe it helps you

http://d-h.st/r97

and it seems like nofrills is not using the hotplug governor after the crash, so the "stable" boot is running under interactive governor.

but the interesting thing here is, that if the phone is running and i select hotplug governor and row scheduler my phone works with this settings without any problems.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ah, thanks for your testing.

pujdo1, can you try a different governor? Something other than hotplug?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
Np just trying to help out. I know how tough it is to trouble shoot these types of things.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
same crashing on lagfree with row.

after selecting lagfree on nofrills the phone crashes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
[MENTION=4233899]pujdo1[/MENTION]. Before I try to help anymore can you tell me which model phone you are on ? Lagfree working OK here.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
what do you mean with model ?

as i know there is only one version from the photon Q. or do you mean with/wouthout sim mod ?

if this, i have a sim modded photon q.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] jtommyj:
OK Photon Q is what I was looking for. I have Droid RAZR HD so may not be much more help :(
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I do have a Q... let me run a few tests.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i tested now the other governors which you have added and only lagfree and hotplug makes problems with the reboot.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well that's interesting. I'll look into that, I spose in the meantime avoid those governors!

argh, anything new about the broken governors ?

on which governor were you, than you had the reboot ?

im now on wheatley + row scheduler and battery life is nice.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
No idea on broken governors. Without logs, I can't really do much... Even still, it's probably beyond my ability.

I use Wheatley.

Here it goes a stupid question [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION]. Lol

What kernel will be the one to use with slimkat? I ask because I haven't found anything telling me what their base is on KitKat. Not sure if still cm as they used to. Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
CM kernel.

Enjoy.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] clockcycle:
Combination works well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JoseBerga:
Hey [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] your last cm11 kernel is breaking the camera app on last xt925 29/01/14 nightly..

I made a clean install of that nightly and without your kernel it's all fine, but when I install your kernel breaks the camera... and there's not any new commits on github.. lol..

Do you need some logs or something?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Logs would help, but I probably won't be able to do much. I haven't made any changes...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Byakko Custom:
Say arrrghhh, your kernel broke auto-rotate on the kitkat nightly...

I checked it prior to flashing and after I flashed your CM11 Kernel, it stops working. (and yes, I made sure to check that auto-rotate was on after flashing. :P )
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
You need two more posts :cool:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yap. I think it is a ramdisk issue (thanks [MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION]).

Try this test build out... see if it fixes the camera & autorotate issues.

Edit - see post #5 now, Jan 31 build.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
It works. Rotates when rotated, takes pictures, and shoots video.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Thanks again. I'll rename the upload and incorporate it into post #5.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Silentwidow:
If I may ask, I didn't seem to find it, is the GPU Overclock not possible? Is that why it's scratched out in the first post?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
No that was a wanted item... it is in there, just a slight GPU overclock.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TecknoFreak:
arrrghhh not sure if anyone reported this but the aosp or cm11 kill the phone rotation.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Silentwidow:
I think he said a few posts up that it should be working with the newest kernel, looks like he just made a new one.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
This, please read back a few posts. New CM11 kernel is up on post #5, people have already confirmed it resolves the issue....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kend0g:
Jan31 build is rocking on carbon 4.4 xt907 :) love your work bro. No one problem on the kernel end.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] audit13:
I noticed that the lates CM11 build has 2013 in the file name, not 2014. I assume it was compiled on 2014.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
And what is CM11? Android 4.4. When was Android 4.4 released? End of Oct/Beginning of Nov 2013.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] audit13:
Post # 5 lists the date as being Jan 31, 2014 above the CM11 build while the file name says Jan 31, 2013.

When I click on the Show Content button in post # 5, I see CM11 kernels starting with Nov 28, 2013, then Dec 28, 2013, and Jan 31, 2014.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
Ok yes I saw that, but was Android 4.4 ever released to the public on Jan 31 2013 or was it released at the end of Oct/beginning of Nov? (Hint - straight from Google, Android, Android wik - 31 October 2013 released to public)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] audit13:
I don't know exactly when 4.4 was first publicly released but I think it was after the Nexus 5 was released because the Nexus 5 was the only phone that shipped with KK. I didn't load 4.4.2 onto my Nexus 4 until December, 2013.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
I edited my last post to reflect the actual release date at the same time you were posting this post
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] audit13:
Thanks for the update. Makes sense that the CM11 kernels started shortly thereafter.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TecknoFreak:
Well new update is a beast. Works great or same on CM11 and AOSP base roms
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hahahaha, I just unraveled this I think.

In my test build, it seems I just simply mislabeled it - Jan31 2013. [MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] quoted my post, and that is probably what you are reading.

When I released it for real, it seems I noticed my folly and fixed it.

Hope that clears things up. Enjoy the kernel folks!

Edit - forgot to mention, not sure how I missed it - but I had to remove the smoothass governor from the latest build. I'll look into it deeper... hopefully no one was really attached to this governor!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chelsea_fc:
Iam using beanstalk rom on xt907, which kernel i should use?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I believe Beanstalk is going to use the CM kernel.

Let me know if there are issues, I do not have this ROM available for my device ;).

For the most part folks, the CM kernel is going to be utilized in custom ROM's. The AOSP one is there purely because there were vanilla AOSP ROM's getting released...

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Beanstalk is based directly off of cm. It even uses straight cm device trees... So that will Def be the right kernel. (cm)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
Noticed a couple issues with Lulzactive governor last night. If I changed the settings it would force itself to the max freq and never drop until a governor change. Not even setting our default values back would work. It has a minimum screen off freq setting that doesn't work correctly -- Kernel Tuner wouldn't change it, Rom Toolbox Pro did but it locked me up causing a manual hard reboot, and, I'm not sure which value it was, but one caused my phone to lock up and caused a forced/automatic hard reboot. Using both the Latest Carbon and Kernel.

Wheatley kicks ass. My recommended governor.

Don't have any logs or anything like that, but I thought I'd share what I noticed.

My apologies if this has been posted before -- I don't have the time to read 110 pages to see if a governor has been commented on.

EDIT: [MENTION=2884247]timpohladthomas[/MENTION]

Why aren't you an RC yet? You do more than I do.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Wheatley is my preferred governor as well...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The_Blue_Bomber:
Does the aosp 4.4 kernel not support CPU voltages? I installed it on carbon 4.4.2 and it only gives me MPU voltages in the trickstermod app. Thank you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
Use the CM kernel with Carbon. AOSP kernel is for pure AOSP roms only. Arrrghhh's answered this question about 20 times this week in the Atrix HD Carbon thread.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I've answered it too here.

I need to modify post #5 it seems, this is not clear enough...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
I think the issue is with Carbon OP's saying it's an AOSP rom when it's closer to CM, at least the device and kernel sources are.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I agree, but no one wants to change the OP to say it's CM :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
Because CM is mainstream and mainstream isn't cool :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Haha... Not sure skeevy
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
Not sure if you're aware, but Hacker's working on a unified build for the 8960's. Should make it much easier to make ROMs for the family -- one compile to run them all (thought about doing a one ring parody, but I'm mobile).

I could nominate you for RC if ya want me to. You easily do more roms than me.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] stevie13.xo:
That would be awesome.. Its code name will be vanquish Right?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] timpohladthomas:
Sure... Sounds good man... And I'm already building with the unified vanquish repo :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] skeevydude:
Unless Hacker updated it since last night (haven't looked at sources today) it won't fully work with the 886 (4 nfc permissions files cause settings.apk to fc). See the last post of the experimental cm11 thread under AHD General.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The_Blue_Bomber:
Well, I apologize for the annoyance. I just read what I thought I understood.

Wow, Lotta pages! I plan on installing the CM 10.2 on my PAC man ROM (

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415997)

Can anyone provide any cliff notes for this thread? Max OC limit (1.89ghz I think?), etc. My main purpose is to extend battery life, if anyone can recommend the recommended lower/upper under clock/over clock limit. Also, what's the best app to accomplish this?

Thanks for any/all help!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I like NoFrills. TricksterMod is good too. CM has a built-in function for this as well, look for 'Performance' in Settings.

Max OC depends on the device - the kernel won't go higher than your phone can do. Some devices can go higher than others...

If you want battery life, don't overclock lol. Underclocking may or may not help battery life - it was explained to me that the processor has to run for longer at the lower speed to get the same tasks done, so in the end it doesn't save battery - you'll have to do your own testing.

As for governor, I like Wheatley.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Kenneth196:
Thanks!! Very cool to get a response from the creator himself. Big fan of yours by the way (sorry, I'm talking like you're a celebrity). You really know your stuff. Keep up the great work and thanks for all of the contributions you've made!

Edit: Oh yes, regarding under clocking, what if I under clock only with the screen off? Would that benefit any?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
Hmm, if you don't use your phone regularly (like me) then doing this is somewhat worthy, as higher freqs means nothing when your device is sleeping. However, if you're a heavy user then don't bother, screen on battery consumption far outweighs standby consumption and you might wanna tweak in that way.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Kenneth196:
Thanks! Just flashed the kernel and wiped cache/dalvik but getting a blank screen upon boot. Gonna troubleshoot this a bit. Can't wait to play with it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Xplorer4x4:
Would you mind elaborating on what sort of tweaks your referring to for screen on battery consumption??
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Kenneth196:
Looks like I'm still getting a black screen upon boot... would anyone be able to point me to the correct 10.2 build to use?

I'm currently using [ROM][4.3][OFFICIAL][Nightlies][xt897/c] PAC-man AIO. File name is pac_xt897c-nightly-20140128.zip
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
By "tweaks" I only mean screen brightness, wireless connections, underclocking and

preventing certain apps from auto-starting

(only this one is worth mentioning, which can be done using either Autostarts or Greenify).

Not-so-relevant info: In the past Chinese New Year holiday I had the chance to do a battery rundown with my "tweaked" Photon Q, turning on Airplane Mode and then putting it in a drawer. Today I took it out and found that it lasted 7 days while eating only ~30% battery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
For PAC you have to use a special ramdisk + kernel....

I was never able to figure out how to get anykernel working properly, I need to revisit that.

I'll try to rebuild a kernel for you if skeevydude doesn't get to it first :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Kenneth196:
Cool thanks man! If it's too much trouble then I can switch to my Evo Shift for now. I appreciate the help and quick response!

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
TWRP is touch driven. I considered adding the kb functionality, but unfortunately got a bit lazy when it 'just worked' without it...

OR is the only recovery I'm aware of that utilizes the full qwerty kb, mainly because it was made specifically for our devices.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FirePsych:
Was there ever any consensus on what date kernel worked best with cm10.1.3 since the dates don't quite match up? I think the closest kernel dates are 9/15 & 9/29. 10.1.3 stable was released 9/23.

And/or is there a governor that reduces the stuttering for a particular dated kernel?

And/or is there a cm11 kernel/date/governor that smooths out scrolling on cm11?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] b3bluesman:
I've always liked TWRP being that it was the first recovery that I learned how to use when I first started learning Android dev. Right now I'm working on designing a completely hands-free voice driven UI (since I can't seem to keep from dropping my phone and cracking the digitizer :/ ) that utilizes the Bluetooth hardware for navigation, i.e. directional commands to move around the screen like left, right, up, down etc... and also recognizes hardware commands like power off (which would really be more like a hibernation or suspend mode), power on (using the wakeonLAN concept), volume up/down, and would like to implement reboot recovery/bootloader. Do you think it would be possible to keep the Bluetooth interface running after reboot so that those same commands can be used to navigate TWPR as well?
