Last night I cleared data from my kernel app and uninstalled it. Went into recovery and wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted. No reboots or sod for almost 17 hours now. Phone wasn't 100% charged when I did that either. I've been using as I usually do.In other words you get all the benefits of stw and the other fixes of the stock kernel by leaving this one, well stock :D
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I went through system tuner and cannot find the option to disable s2w, can someone point the way?
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
From Just before the left most button all the way past the home button.

Do I have to enable it in system tuner? What section is that in?

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

This. There is a widget out there but it does not do anything for me.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I can confirm that with onedemand I haven't had a crash as well. I think the custom governors are doing something. You having removed all tweaks makes me think you are on ondemand as well.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I think it's the other governors causing it.
[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
I've been running bad ass @ 192/1.51 for a couple days and the only time I had an issue was when I played around with undervolting. Other than that the kernw has been solid for me. No problems with S2W, either.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
My S2W was working fine until it suddenly stopped. might have to do with installing system tuner, but i have no clue where the button is to disable/enable it. other than that, occasional SOD but such amazing battery life, kernel has gone down from 20-30% to 2-3%. i've been wondering if the wifi or something was causing a larger battery drain which is balancing it out, but no it does seem to be simply an amazing difference, my screen has become the biggest battery drain now (previously it was 10-12% with 2+ hours of screen on time)
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Same for me. What governor are you using?
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
After having a SOD in the first day of usage, I can also confirm that so far no SOD with not touching any settings in System Tuner (I had switched to Badass governor but not changed anything else). It's only been one day so far, though, so not a thorough test yet. Has anyone had SOD without changing ondemand governor or with System Tuner not even installed? Perhaps it's a conflict between the two.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
I think this governor defaults to on-demand but I believe the real stock governor is msm-dcvs . I'm by far no expert but just a thought here. Was the msm governor wrote by qcom specifically for our quad-core device? And if so all of these other governors are from the pre quad-core days. Maybe they need tweeking. I did have another reboot. I am going to switch back to msm-dcvs and uninstall no frills cpu control and see what happens.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Msm-dcvs was developed for our processor.

I'm going to go without a controller for a while to see how it does.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
You smell what I'm steppin in Choochoo? If its gold its gold. If its chit its chit. Lol :D
[HTC Droid DNA] CrushD:
I've had SOD without changing a single thing. When using this kernel I sort of feel like it's on some sort of timer, like once a day it has to get a SOD and there's nothing I can do about it.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Golden chit?
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Can you tell me what you mean by that? I'm not familiar with the term.

Thanks!

(toot toot!)

Edit: I'm a retard. Its a governer. Post above yours :P

I'm going to do the same as you guys and see what happens. (uninstall system tuner pro). What's a good way to find out what governer you are on without having a system tuner app running?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
With no cpu controller I believe the default is on-demand.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Well son of a *****
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Here's what I did.Cleared cache and dalvic. Changed to msm and made sure all things were stock. Cleared app data and uninstalled. I'm thinking if you install the kernel fresh it will default to on-demand so really you need the spp to change it. But font mess with anything else unless you are reverting to stock settings. :beer:
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Gave it the old college try but still froze overnight. Now I can't flash the "back to stock" zip. Download is good (MD5 checks) but flash fails with TWRP and CWM.

Tried restoring a nandroid with stock kernel but that didn't work.

How can I return to Writable Stock?
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
Did you flash the the sotck kernel boot.img in fastboot or just flash the modules? If just the modules then you are running a cubed kernel with stock modules...phone unhappy :(

From the return to stock zip in the OP. Extract the boot.img in it and place it in your ADB folder and place the stock modules.zip on oytur phone's sd card. As a tip, I always rename these boot.imgs so I do not get confused...ie boot242.img for the latest cubed kernel stockboot.img for the stock, stockbootsyswrite.img for the cubed stock system writable, etc.

reboot into bootloader, fastboot flash boot <sotck kernerl file name>.img then go to revoery from there...I personally then wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then mount system and then flash the stock modules zip

That should get you back to stock.

Unfortunately although a nandroid will back up your current kernel, until we get S-Off it will not restore it as it cannot write to the boot thingy..
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Got it, thanks! Been running 2.4.2 as installed (haven't touched SetCPU) and so far so good. Haven't tried it this way yet, so before I return to Stock Writable I'll give 2.4.2 one last shot.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
My phone rebooted overnight. Clean settings, msm governor
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
*knock on wood* No reboot since my first reboot a couple days ago now. Only thing I did was not have System Tuner open on start and set all those settings back to stock. Now it'll prolly lock up on my shortly lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Oh well it was a theory worth trying.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I have the same settings as you and when scroling through xda this morning it got really laggy and rebooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
That happened to me a few times, it will start to laggggg then it blacks out and reboots. on 2.4.2 I didn't get any SoD's but I got freezes, 2 I can think of are when I clicked the twitter icon to open the APP, and the camera, when I clicked the shutter btn, it froze and rebooted... 2 of the freezes on 2.4.2 however caused me to lockup on boot, and I had to reflash my rom... so for now I'm on the stock system write kernel... battery life isn't as good but I need the stability for now :) DSB is such a boss for doing all this great work on this great device and looking forward to the growth of development !
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
These all sound touch-screen related, either something having just been clicked or scrolling being done. Do you guys have S2W on? I still swear it sounds like that has something to do with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Yeah S2W was on
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
How do you turn it off? A couple of us installed system tuner and could not find the s2w disable button.
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
Good question, I didn't see the setting but haven't looked again. Mine defaulted to "off" I think, and I'm not opening System Tuner again until I see another crash.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Could you take a quick peek for us?
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
I didn't have S2W on with the lockup I had, though the lockup and reboot might be 2 separate issues. I'll look next time I need to reboot or it crashes/reboots on its own. I'm enjoying the lack of lockups too much at the moment to touch a damn thing lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] DirtySimpleClean:
I've been using trickster mod from play store to adjust kernel settings
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Does it let you turn s2w on and off?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Thanks, it does have that option. Using it now, will report back in a few hours.
[HTC Droid DNA] gzsmooth:
Has anyone used the Flash Image GUI app to flash this kernel?

[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
Yep it works fine for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Yeah trixter mod says my s2w is ON. Just doesnt work. No idea why!

Oh well. Turned it off lol. :cyclops:
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Go to options and check set on boot. Also press the check mark on the top right to apply.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Well the thing is it was ON when i first went in. So... not sure.
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Me too. Works slick. Get the paid version from the Store, the older version on XDA doesn't support our phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] scumpoop:
I second this. It's on $0.99 anyways. Well worth it for the convenience. Also, I use Kernel Tuner from the market. It allows turning S2W on/off.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Still crashed again despite the tuner. May just need a kernal adjustment. let me know how i can help :)
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Five hours and counting. Running "as is". Haven't even launched a tuning app.

EDIT

Jinx! Rebooted while scrolling through Tweets on Slices. Back to Writable Stock for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] sams2100:
Any way I can help debug the instability of this kernel? I love what you have done with it, just not so happy with the 1 or 2 reboots every day. I'd be more than willing to capture some debug logs or core dumps if they exist somewhere, just tell me what you need. If you want I'd even run a custom version with some debugging turned on to help out.

[HTC Droid DNA] iOSh8er:
What ROM are you on? Do you have photosphere working? If so, your build prop is probably keeping it from working.

Please don't touch my "Thanks" button, it doesn't like you... ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
same here :)
[HTC Droid DNA] SwordOfWar:
I've also had one lock-up when using this kernel so far. It happened on the lock screen when I turned the screen back on.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
That's when it happens to me

[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
Well I went 24 hours with no bad things happening, then last night I was going into settings to check my battery usage and the screen just turned off on me. Was able to just turn it back on, no biggy. However, I just woke up to my phone sitting in recovery. Missed my alarm and woke up late. Completely unacceptable. I'm going to have to flash back to the unsecure stock kernel now because I absolutely cannot be having the phone randomly reboot into recovery on me. Really, really sucks because the standby battery life without this kernel is really unacceptable, too. Just sucks all around at the moment. I really hope dsb can fix the crash issues or at least give us an unsecured kernel with the battery fix also built in. That's all I really care about at this point, and plenty of others have voiced the same thing on the unsecure kernel thread.
[HTC Droid DNA] eriknors:
Here's my scores with stock kernel:

Now here's my scores with o/c kernel at 1.72:

No matter how high I o/c to I can't come near my scores when I'm on stock. Plus I get SOD and random reboots with o/c kernel. It doesn't make 1 bit of sense to me but that's why I ask. Is this right?
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Has anyone eliminated freezes and reboots by upping their voltages?
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
I don't touch the voltages but I'd like to know if it's the voltages or something else at play.
[HTC Droid DNA] madAdam6LOVE:
Benefits of this kernel are battery savings and S2W.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Honestly, I'd be happy with just the hsic fix on the stock kernal and stability. But hopefully this kernel will get there.
[HTC Droid DNA] DirtySimpleClean:
Just upped my voltage. 384/1836, lionheart, sio, s2w on. Will report back if I have any sod or reboots
[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
I just tried setting all cores to be online in System Tuner to see if cores going offline is the problem. Rebooted, the setting seemed to have no effect. Doesn't make me feel overly comfortable that System Tuner fully supports our processor.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Dsb said you shouldn't do that.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
Stop talking about things you have no understanding of. You are cluttering up both of my threads with useless speculation and misinformation. The reason all your cores stayed online when you went to the stock/write kernel is because you didn't flash the return to stock package in the OP to put all the stock files back.

The reason your stupid benchmarks are lower is because the thermal protection lowers the speeds of the cores at high temp and wont let them max out for the full duration of the test. Quadrant doesn't have this issue because it doesn't run as long.

I have already said these things several times.

Now, I have been sick the last few days, so I haven't been saying/doing much. But I will be, and have been, doing my best to get things straightened out for everybody. However, it's a fairly well known fact that the kernel isn't perfect. So coming in here and posting how "some bead thing" happened over and over, is not only pointless, it's kind of annoying.

Not saying I don't need to know if people are having issues. I just don't need to hear about the same issues, from the same people over and over and over.

I promise you, there is nothing you can do short of getting into the source code and making changes to fix it.

You want to make a difference? When your phone has a Sleep of Death (which BTW means it goes deep sleep and you cannot turn it on), or a lockup with screen on, or a random reboot, do this:

Reboot

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

Create a post that says "I had a SOD/lockup/reboot"

Post all of your settings. Kernel version, Governor, I/O Scheduler, min/max speeds, and any other settings you changed.

Do not speculate about why it happened.

And DO NOT INSTALL TWO CPU/KERNEL APPS. Even if you don't set anything in one of them, it may interfere with the other.

That will help. If you cannot do that, and other people have already posted about the same thing happening to them on the same version, it's pointless to post "I has a SOD and that sucks!" It does nothing to help. It provides no useful information.

[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
I never flashed back to either stock kernel. I'm still on the modded one and the cores still didn't stay online at all.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
My bad, you have a very similar name to the guy in the other thread.

Regardless, you are still doing stupid things and talking about the results as if they mean something.

System Tuner is the only app I trust. And forcing cores online is VERY BAD.

But that's okay. Just ignore me like half the people around here seem to do.

I have no clue what I'm talking about.

D

[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
System Tuner is what I tried. And it was just "one more thing tried" to help debug it. If it was a stupid, pointless thing to try, well at least I tried it anyway lol. Just trying to do my part helping with the debug process. I've seen some "how the hell did *that* have any affect on the problem" times quite often in my development days, so anything that doesn't do permanent changes/damage is worth a shot in my book.

Like I said when I started on both these threads, I really, really appreciate all the work you've done so far. Sorry you've been under the weather, hope you feel better dude.

Update: this morning I upped the voltage by one notch across the board using Trickster MOD controller and haven't had an sod yet. A couple times after waking it up from sleep it would be slightly laggy which was usually a precursor to sod, but after a minute it went back to normal.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed because the battery life is awesome.

[HTC Droid DNA] scumpoop:
DSB does the stock kernel have a screen off function with a single core running or is it just the Cubed Kernel that has that option? Turning 'single core on sleep' off in Kernel Tuner has given me more stability. No more lag on wake or reboots so far.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the hardwork! I'll put up any logcats and such if I get another reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
All kernels turn off extra cores when not needed.

That's how they work. I don't know what that is supposed to do.

D

.
[HTC Droid DNA] scumpoop:
I guess it just forces a single core upon turning the screen off. It's on by default so I was curious.

Thanks for the input.
[HTC Droid DNA] sams2100:
Thanks D, I'll be sure and capture the last_kmsg log for you from now on... I'll even throw in a free speculation on what I think the cause might be, don't worry, first one is on the house! :good:

As for the kernel apps, I have tried both System Tuner Pro and Kernel Tuner. I also was worried they may conflict so I have never had them installed at the same time, but currently have the Kernel Tuner installed because it allowed me to configure a custom governor for each core. (Thought it was a cool feature) Anyway, just curious what your thoughts are on the Kernel Tuner app and if it falls into your untrusted category.

Awesome job on the kernel... proud to be running it on my phone!

EDIT: went ahead a put my money where my mouth was and donated to the cause... it's not a lot but figure if everyone chipped in then it would add up.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
I don't like Kernel Tuner. Our CPU does not support setting different things on the cores. I had a big long explanation of this a few days ago if you wanna go back and read it. I have no idea what effect trying to do that will have on the phone, but I don't see it being good.

And thanks for whatever it was, most people don't think about it. And I don't ask.

EDIT: Forgot to give my assumption of what the cause might have been for the SOD... well... I was at the casino and was losing a lot of money today, so I think the kernel panic'ed from the sight of it all.
