So far I've had 1 random reboot, while changing governors in System Tuner Pro, and this morning my phone wouldn't wake up at all and I had to use power+vol to reboot it. I'm using interactivex2 with 384/1.5

EDIT: just went into System Tuner Pro to change to something other than interactivex2 and it locked up again

D: Have a recommendation on a governor for use for a good balance? I was thinking superbad or smartassv2.

EDIT: Seems like with this update my phone is no longer stable if I overclock to 1.83 at all, I get reboots after 1-2 minutes of use. On the upside however it seems to run really smoothly with smartassv2 at 1.5
[HTC Droid DNA] dajmanjt:
So just wanted to leave feedback on the newest kernel version. Half a day and a whole night no reboots and for the first time running 8.9 ghz absolutely stable. Also Swipe to wake makes me happy. Thanks dsb :)
[HTC Droid DNA] wisconsinated:
So I used Stability test with system tuner to check clock rates with temps of the cpu as stability test was running. It seems like the s4 pro is downclocking automatically when it gets to a certain temp. In this case that temp seems to be 70-75c. As soon as it reaches that temp on the stability test (which happens fast) it starts automatically downclocking. If you have a fast enough chip you can lower the voltage so you won't get 6500 quad scores. Because I believe the reason for the low quadrant score is the chip is just overheating and downclocking. Or maybe not even overheating per say but just programed to downclock at that temp.

However; this still doesn't explain the stock quadrant scores with a 1.8 ghz clock speed. I would think the quads should be at 10k unless there's some sort of score cap on quadrant. Maybe ill test some other benchmarks.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Also tried stability test with system tuner on 1.5ghz and it downclocked to 1.3 while running stability test.

At the same temp. 70c. What's the tjmax for this processor? If its closer to 100, if its possible to remove that downclock it would be beneficial.

[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
i know man i had the exact same issues. i wouldnt say you are having problems though dsb will say you have a bad device and it isnt the kernel and go back to stock and never reply here. seems im not the only ones with problems. must be lots of people with bad devices out there then
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
Reflashed...still odd behavior compared to 1.4.9. System tuner has my CPU 1 consistently at 1.51 even though cpu 0 is only at 1% and clocking at 384. Makes phone warm..very warm..lol

After reboot System TUner doesn;t even let me change the clocking those settings have disappeared on that screen...I get CPU 0 N/A but CPU 1-3 are now properly offline when not being used..

Set CPU does not allow me to change min max settings either...all very odd..

After 4th reboot it seems to be running and reporting right in System Tuner...CPU 0 at 384 and CPU 1-3 offline at rest..just needed a little forcible love :)

Will give it a run today and see how she behaves :)
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
Please don't group me in with yourself, thanks. I very much enjoy D's kernel and was just reporting my findings so that we could identify any issues present, not complaining.

On a constructive note, set at 384/1.5 w/ smartassv2 everything is running great now. It definitely *seemed* to require a few reboots to settle down but now appears to be running very smoothly.
[HTC Droid DNA] iOSh8er:
I've had this happen on other releases as well. System tuner would not let me adjust anything.

Again, new device, new hurdles! Its a good thing I love testing!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
im not complaining either i was pointing out issues. maybe you need to go back and read my other posts that say that before you comment
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I read them all before I responded the first time to just make sure I wasn't being biased, please drop it.
[HTC Droid DNA] iOSh8er:
This kernel has made my phone the happiest its been yet. I leave the min stock, max @ 1.7 on interactivex2.

Also, my CPU is "nominal" :(

I wonder if the the devices with the most reboots are in the "slow" category!?

And again, if you have a freeze or random reboot, post the last_kmsg file from the /proc folder on your device. It helps D determine the cause.
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I'm not sure that the binning will have a huge impact on this, mine is "fast" and my girl's is "fastest" and they are both having about the same overall behavior with the kernel so far.

As silly as it seems, just simply rebooting the device several times seems to have cleared up whatever issue was present before. Everything seems great now, both devices OC'd to 1836mhz/384mhz with interactivexv2 :good: Additionally system-tuner and kernel-tuner seem to be working fine without causing reboots anymore.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
Okay guys, some info:

1. The thermal settings are lower on this release. I had them set very high before so you could all be happy with your benchmarks. But that's not exactly safe, and is also the reason for the lower scores. I will be playing with them as I go forward, but I figured you would rather have phones that work than a piece of charcoal that used to get great bench results. Check out the thermal issues the N4 has.

2. Governors are catch as catch can. Most of them were written for dual core and will require modification to run great on a quad. This being said, yes sometimes turning one on, or off, will bork you. I only test that the phone boots, and runs for a while with each before including it. As time goes on, I will either update them as needed, or remove them, as I can get time to work on them.

3. This is a new processor, on new code. Nothing is the same as it used to be for both of those reasons. I understand that 99% of you simply post here so I know when you have a problem, but there are going to be problems. That is the nature of the beast. If this is an unacceptable thing for you, please just go back to stock if you have issues, don't get all upset and use language that implies you are completely taken by surprise that your phone rebooted and that somebody should be arrested for it.

Have a great holiday everybody!

[HTC Droid DNA] wisconsinated:
Thanks for your quick reply. You've answered all of my questions. Thanks for all the work you've put into this kernel. It works great :)
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
Any criticism I post is purely constructive so I hope it's not been taken otherwise. Secondly, I think I can speak for almost everyone when I say, thanks for what you're doing and have a great Christmas.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
I know. The difference in the whole "slow to faster" thing is voltage. The faster your phone reports it is, the lower the voltage it is stable on. This only means a little savings on battery and does not affect performance. Available speeds remain the same. However, undervolting on nominal or slow phones will be touchier.

D

.
[HTC Droid DNA] hkbladelawhk:
So, DSB, I read back through. Ideally I'd be using your kernel for the S2W and battery life. With that being said, I likely wouldn't overclock much more than 1 step if I even did, right now I'm on unsecured and stock rom running at 900mhz underclocked.

In what you've seen and coded (and what others have been running, I didn't see anyone running stock speeds), what seems to be the most stable governor that doesn't destroy battery life?
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I'll chime in an say, I'm a big fan of smartassv2, interactivex2 and they've seemed very stable for me so far and also quite responsive. I'm running interactivex2 today, I'll report back and post results
[HTC Droid DNA] hkbladelawhk:
No reboots. lockup or SOD?
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
Honestly? I run BadAss. But I hear msm-dcvs (which was included stock) was made by QualComm specifically for this processor and runs very well.

If you are going to run stock except for the S2W, don't even install a control app. Just let it run. Probably the most stable you can get is how it came from the box.

D

.
[HTC Droid DNA] hkbladelawhk:
Alright! Like I said, underclocking a lil would likely be the most. I'll keep ya updated with kmesgs in the case anything happens.

Thanks for the ongoing work DSB! Always been a fan of TeamBAMF (ran nothing but BAMF on my Tbolt). Keep up the good work.

So far so good on interactivex2, 384/1836, OOM set to Very Aggressive, SIO - no reboot's or SOD when using system tuner so far. I will say that I was having issues when setting everything in kernel tuner however so I just went with STP and things have been fine.

1.4.3 and 1.4.9 were sweet from the get go, too though.

stuck/dead pixels

Ok so I was browseing about the forums and I saw a post that had said something along the lines of this guys two droid dnas where getting stuck pixels and that it could be related to overclocking (I dont think that has anything to do with it) but another user had said that he had been having the same problem with his gs3 when they where undervolting the screen. I dont know if cubed kernal undervolts the screen (or if that is even possible) or he might be getting that confused with undervolting the cpu. Please respond I dont want a dna with stuck pixels so please just reassure me that he might just have faulty devices and if it is a real problem please fix it, i love this kernal but i dont want to risk it.

what am i doing wrong? i flashed 2.2.3, flashed the modules on recovery then flashed the boot.img on bootloader but after restarting checking my kernel it went back to stock one... S2W also after restarting its not working..

you have to flash boot .img first then go and flash the modules in cwm/twrp

It sounds like you are flashing the stock boot.img. delete the boot.img in your folder containing fastboot, replace with the newest release and try again.

I am on the newest UKB as well, using system tuner pro to make kernel tweaks.

I leave the minimum clock speed stock, raise the max to 1.7 and run interactivex2 governor.

As always, results may vary.

Its also worth noting that I have htc's 3 finger gestures turned on without any issues. Keep in mind that in the past this was frowned upon with S2W as it caused issues.

Update:

User error on my part.

I had system tuner running on Medium Memory Preset, and auto set to downclock with the MSM gov on boot (using the sio scheduler). Also stopped stuff from starting like dropbox and such, this caused a bootloop, or one of them did. Which do ya'll think was what caused it? CPU scaling or the Memory dealio?
