Definitely something going on. Both my GPU and CPU scores were down almost 70 percent. After going back to the Stock with system write I went from 2500 CPU to 8865 and GPU doubled. Making my overall score 60 percent better and the phone just feels faster and less jerky. All I see is people running Quadrant in this thread. Has anyone actually ran Antutu?

It sucks though because my battery is quite a bit better with 2.4.2 so far.
[HTC Droid DNA] jdec529:
I don't know what to tell u man. So far its running stellar on my end. Seems just a fast if not a little faster than previous versions. And I ran quadrant just cause that's what I ran last time and wanted to compare apple's to apple's. Like I said, benchmarks don't really matter to me, I base a kernel on how it feels. Maybe try a fresh install if it. Sorry couldn't help.
[HTC Droid DNA] SAMPCam:
I can run 1.89 with a little overvolting (1275mV) - Faster CPU bin. Different CPU's will require different voltages.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
How are you flashing the kernel? I just flashed my phone back to stock and tried it. Same result, back to UKB Same result. Grabbed my other DNA that is going back to VZW and flashed it and got the same result. I'm flashing boot.img via Fastboot command prompt, Modules in CWM and using Systuner to change governors. However I have indeed tried not messing with governors. Just doesn't make sense, I've had probably 10 android phones between sprint and vzw and never had these issues. My current DNA is a (Fast) phone and the other is (Faster) whenever I bring the phone back to DSB's stock kernel with sys write it plain old just has faster scores and its a smoother experience.

BTW: You're doing FANTASTIC work DSB, thank you for the CONSTANT updates! It's definitely getting there!
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
Can somebody who ran this kernel on UKB for at least a day or two comment on stability of this kernel?
[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
I ran it all the way to this morning and did not have the phone reboot once. S2W worked almost every time.
[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
Me too. UKB, 2.4.2 default System Tuner Pro settings. Running like a dream. We might have a winner!

Stay thirsty, my friends
[HTC Droid DNA] Melodycd:
Running UKb Rom and 2.4.2 kernel. No freezes, no reboots. Only once I had a problem with a screen turning off by itself. 8 hours without single reboot. Great work! :thumbup::)

Its not just you. My phone does exactly the same. Scores drop 600-800 between kernels. Even with overclocking

Interesting. I'm getting Quadrant scores of 10,000+:

When you flash your kernels, try wiping your cache/dalvik straight afterwards. That may help with some of the lag issues you're having.

[HTC Droid DNA] SAMPCam:
That shot was taken with Smartassv2, running sio (noop also runs well) at 1.83GHz running UKB. I'm currently running at 1.89GHz, but that requires +25 mV to stabilize it at that frequency.
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Been on your writable stock kernel with UKB until now. Flashed "All Fixed" 2.4.2 and it's all good! Tweaking with SetCPU.

Thanks for all your hard work developing a stable kernel for us less adventurous souls. And thanks to the bold ones here who patiently tested and shared their bug reports.
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
I'm not hugely concerned about it because it's the only issue i've had but I did just have a random reboot on 2.4.2

I haven't changed anything settings-wise from when I installed the kernel and it happened as I was attempting to connect a phone call. Let me know if I can give you any more info to help!
[HTC Droid DNA] hkbladelawhk:
2.4.2 has had a few problems for me:

~ Still getting the random black screen issue, I go to swipe unlock and it either doesn't do it, or it unlocks and relocks

~ Just had another SOD while plugged into USB

~ Wireless charging last night showed charging, but when I woke up, I had less than I did when I put it on. (Not sure if this is kernel related)

http://azconceptphoto.com/kernel/kmsg132012.txt

Let me know if you find anything.

Side note, do we know if any of the problems are directly related to S2W? Or is it just a cluster of everything put together? I only ask, because I'd love to see the stock kernel with S2W. Just wondering how hard it would be to port. Not sure that it would be any more stable though.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
What app do you use to change the voltage and can you show us all the voltage changes you made or was it just for 1.83?

Also, do you have force gpu rendering on?
[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
I did not have any of the described issues above while running 2.4.2 Wireless Charging @100% this morning too.
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
He had to have as the 2D score was 980..only way to achieve that is to pump out 59-60 fps on the yellow 2D pattern on quadrant otherwise your 2D part of the score is usually 400-500 as that pattern outputs at only 30fps

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Actually..just pu tthose settings in...damn it jumps your score up!

And so far running very smooth on 2.4.2 S2W works great...phone is very responsive....
[HTC Droid DNA] SAMPCam:
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention I force 2D rendering. This helps the 2D score in Quadrant quite a bit which helps overall score. For voltages I use System Tuner and the only voltage I modified was 1.89GHz (set to 1275mV on a "Faster" binned CPU.) If you don't have a "Faster" CPU it will be a different value but +25mV should be enough to stabilize it for any CPU.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I haven't used system tuner but I will give it a shot. I want to attempt to duplicate your score for shts and giggles. Did you change any other settings in system tuner?

My cpu bin is faster.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
I have said this before. Bench tests like antutu show a lower score due to thermal settings. I don't foresee adjusting them. So if all you care about is scores, this kernel will not be for you.

Sorry.

I have to agree with DSB that badass is pretty...well Badass! Just got my PNY MHL adpater and have it running to my HDTV as I type this...I know they aren't the true test of a kernel..but I'm running 1.5/384 badass/sio mirroring to an HDTV and I still threw up an 8050 Quadrant.

Mind you...the 2D and 3D tests are cut in half because the FPS on the tests gets cut in half with the mirroring/output...so wherever it used to push 59-60 FPS it was only pushing 30..so that part of the test score suffers greatly due to that.

Impressive stuff!

if I get through another 24 hours without a SOD reboot I believe I will be golden! And I owe copious wings and beer to DSB...redeemable afer Jan 15th at your local Buffalo Wild Wings...lol Though I was just at the TIlted Kilt in Brinswicjk Square Mall..HIGHLY rcommended

Hey guys, stupid question, searched around a bit. How do you get system tuner to keep badass as the stock governer after boot? It doesnt see to want to stick.

Click "boot settings" next to where you select the governor.

Also out of curiosity....as I only recently installed GSAM...I know this kernel allows the phone to think it is being charged by an AC adapter even if its a car adapter or USB from a laptop...as I pull 4v in my car and from my USB 2.0..

what's the draw normally on stock kernel on AC and car/USB laptop? 4V AC and .5-1 on car/USB?

all I know is I went from 8% to 52% battery during my 50 minute ride home on my car adapter....awesome..

Since there have been several hundred downloads, I can confidently say it's not the kernel.

Turn off debugging and turn it back on seems to fix most issues though.

[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
I had the exact same problem this AM after switching from D's "simple" system write kernel to this 2.4.2. Problem ended up being that I was connected through a hub and not directly to the laptop. I did try to disable USB debugging but it appeared to be ignored. Either way, connecting direct fixed the problem. Kernel has been awesome!
[HTC Droid DNA] Irish65:
Would you care to also post your tweak settings?
[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
Wouldn't that affect Game performance then? The OpenGL 2.0 Bench is the biggest area where I see a huge performance bog. We're talking almost 50 percent less frames on 3D rendering. It chugs hard.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
No, because only those intense bench apps run all 4 cores at high speed like that.

This is why quadrant, which doesn't do that, isn't affected.

My wife sent me a mms and my phone rebooted. It was in my pocket nothing else going on. The only thing I did was change to badass gov and change the min clock freq to the lowest using no frills cpu control. I bumped it back up to normal maybe that was it. I'm at work so I can't get logcat sorry.

Same here. Only bullet proof solution is switching to the writable stock kernel. It's been 100% reliable. Don't forget to flash the Return To Stock zip first.
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
*Shrug*, I came from that one yesterday that was rock solid. My primary concern was the fix in this one for the huge battery drain in the kernel, and the ability to overclock if I really wanted to. Mostly the battery fix, though. I went down 3% today in the amount of time the stock kernel would go down over 10%. That was my only change besides the governor, so it's definitely a kernel issue, also proven by stats in GSam Battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Agreed that battery savings, S2W, tunability are nice, but they're not worth losing sleep over. When I looked over to check the time in the middle of last night my phone had randomly rebooted to Recovery. It was 3 am. Never went back to sleep, afraid it would reboot into Recovery again and my alarm wouldn't go off. I slept soundly with the stock writable kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
Yeah, I'm giving it one more chance without touching anything in System Tuner and leaving it as is with just this kernel in place in its flashed form. If I get another lockup I'm going to have to flash back to stock writable, too. Really unfortunate, as the battery drain without the fix is really unacceptable with knowing just how bad a bug it is. Standby is at about 4x better with that fix.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Well, for one, I wouldnt be using an experimental kernal if you cannot deal with the crashes. Just saying, if its critical, probably not going to be happy.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

I would love a stock kernal like the other with, with just the HSIC fix... im not concerned with over clocking or anything else.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Anyone else not have s2w working? Just doesnt work.
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
I could deal with a reboot now and then. The phone will come back up in a minute or so, no biggy. It's a lockup until I manually fix it that I can't deal with. The mostly stock Cube kernel is 100% stable. I love experimenting with stuff, too, but I figured stability would be the primary concern even on a custom kernel. I have a Linux VM and i've compiled kernels/modules before but it's been a long time. If I knew the changes he made to 1) Make system writable 2) Fix the battery drain and 3) Allow overclock, I'd try building a kernel with just those 3 things myself. Those 3 things are all I care about and if I had those 3 things plus a non-freezing phone it'd be perfect and I'd be in heaven.
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
true. but i have full faith DSB is going to get it all resolved eventually. he's a kernel madman.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
I agree. Hopefully we can get it that stable.
[HTC Droid DNA] hungsolow:
Stock kernel??!! noooooooooo!!!!! lol everything has pros and cons. My phone is fast cool and efficient on this kernel. Battery life is hands down the best I've ever had on a smartphone ever! Stock may not exhibit some of the issues you guys are mentioning but it is far from perfect (or even doable to me now). I'll pass on the "frying pan" kernel A.K.A. STOCK! lol Hell, D's "stock" kernel with writable system technically isn't stock, so.... anyway, I encourage everyone to stick with it and keep trying different setups and different CPU controllers. It's impossible for the dev to try them all so our thorough and useful input is imperative not only to this kernel, but development in general. I came from the Rezound which had been out a year and is really just NOW getting solid kernels due to TEAMWORK! These DNA kernels are much further along than the Rezound kernels were after only TWO MONTHS! Come on now!

[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
Well if his "stock" kernel doesn't have the crashes and this further modded one does, it's obviously one of the changes that he made. Not throwing "blame" by any means, this kernel was otherwise really awesome. It just sounds like one of the changes made is what is causing the freezing since even his "stock" kernel didn't lock up like this.

I've been using the stock writeable kernel for a few days with absolutely no problems, and people using cubed still have sod and s2w problems. Maybe the s2w is causing the sod?

Can a version be made without s2w for now so we can at least get the battery savings and overclocking abilities of cubed?
