Inputs on krystianp's latest kernel

Dear krystianp,

Thanks for the continued efforts.

Few observations:

1. Network drop still exists and no modem reset or anything else seems to work other than a reboot

2. Phone does reboot multiple times by itself

3. Screen does flicker at times with half screen showing white flashes (the area where white flashes occur changes randomly)

4. Battery, as you know it.

Still its a Love Hate relationship with this kernel/rom. Its a feeling of living with an Ex. You like it and want to live, but you just can't do it.

this was the first time i've used jb kernel (before this i was using cm10 with gb kernel)

sadly, i'm hit by the frequent network drops which made the experience horrible for me.

While i'M switching back, i'd like to say thank you to all. i appreciate your efforts and will be back soon. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FoXMuLd3R:
Hummmmmm i will check this... It's a hardware issue, nice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thandlovsky:
I have the same problem. I am not going to buy a digitizer, because I am just going to replace the phone when the 2014 flagships arrive. So for the time being I have placed a piece of somewhat thick paper the same siz as the battery under the battery itself, and then attached the cover. I feel this helps with the loose connection. I will also put a small strip along the of the top side (right underneath the fingerprint scanner)

Need bigger /system

I managed to compile a 4.4 with Schichu's Github hints, and are very eager to test the radio, but unfortunately, the /system is too small to fit the rom...

Krystian, could you shade some light on how to repartition /system, Thx.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
How big is system folder in rom?

You may try to remove some apps (for example live wallpapers) from /system/app/ system/priv-app/, files from /system/media/

Baseband Radios for this rom

Hi guys ... i just want know what radios are you guys using for Europe/UK for This ROM. I am using latest Rom with K's kernel. (. i am using 3uk network and i always get very low signal inside my house when i used to get 4 to 5 bars. i am not talking about the network drops that users have been experiencing lately... But i get this even if i am in the stock rom ... is it hardware related ?? any ideas

i have tried these:

N_01.100.00R_europe_retail_09oct2011 :- always no signal inside( sometimes no network and i have to find spots, near windows to get 1 bar) ... bluetooth take a longtime to search for a device on this. Outside is ok unless am moving quickly on the train for example. and i never get the H+ always stay on H

N_01.77.36P_usa_att_ :- this is a bit better compared to the 1st. 2 bars around the house but if it goes in my pocket then no network :(.. bluetooth works fine on this.

i have tried a couple more but nearly the same results..

Happy New year

Well, running 12/11 build on my Atrix and I noticed this strange bug for incoming call.

Screen doesnt wake up, phone keeps ringing. When I press power button, I have to unlock phone using slider / pattern code but the phone is still ringing. When the phone is unlocked, I dont see any incoming call prompt for next 2-3 seconds and have to wait longer for it to pop up and so I amy accept my call.

Please advice..

PLUS, the sudden unreposiveness of touch screen (sometimes to life, sometimes not) is quite a nuisance with alot of atrixes. Changing digitizer might fix it but not guaranteed. Its some kind of wake up issue with the device. (There are alot of ghost touches sometimes to be seen on screen if you enable show touch overlay from dev tools).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV:
Krystian, I have tried to port Shuschu's 'Add BigPart' to your kernel to cheat the partition layout, but unsuccesful, it seems the actual parition does not take place in efi_partition module... https://github.com/Schischu/android...mmit/6b3d70fff905b7395fd15992c3779b27d1b6c101

Also, a sad note, I have tried to 'mimic' the device options from Shischu to build 4.3, the RIL(radio) is still BROKEN, our last chance lies in 4.4...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV:
BigPart (expand /system) working, KK not running

Krystianpe, I have found the way to 'cheat' the partition table, those are MSDOS extended parttions!!! not efi in Xoom case, but the hack to your kernel is very very similar :)

Now there is no problem installing Kitkat with LARGE /system, but my ROM is not running.... for now... Anyway GOOD NEWS indeed

I expanded /system to ~1G and shrinked /osh (webtop) to 4M :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dom_b:
Known issues. Search thread. Kernel related. If you want to resolve this go back to CM7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andresrivas:
The call thing was a rom issue, associated with the proximity sensor. In my case there is a delay of 1 to 2 seconds, but it always come up. But that delay in showing the call screen is indeed strange.

The ghost touches could mean you are way too charged with static or the digitizer is dying

Everything seems to work fine. Except a couple little things.......

1. When in sleep, I hit the power button to wake, it flickers and the button lights up and no screen. I have to hit the power button a few times to get the screen on.....

2. This one is a killer for me. No sound at all. No audio from Pandora, no sound bites, no dial tone. No keypad sounds.

3. In eternal sdcard seems to not be recognized. I get it to recognized in recovery, sorta. It won't read to mount, but it will read to find a flash file. When I go into ROM mamanger, it says I don't have a sdcard and it will not let me do anything......
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krystianp:
I'm glad you found a way to get bigger system partition. I'm still working on my solution (forgot most of it :D). I'll take a look at those modem changes in Schischu repo, maybe I'll be able to help somehow. I'm keeping fingers crossed:good:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dark_prince:
FYI, Unresponsiveness of screen after wakeupis a known issue dated back even with froyo (even with Raindrop fix). I did search thread about that. Also, I posted the feedback in this thread related to 4.2 builds for the sake of resolving the issues (ofcourse the ones resolvable) and not wholly for the downgrade. Hope you catch my point.

I wear cotton clothing most of the time, and I use belt pouch for keeping phone safe from pocket static instead, and still it behaves the same. I am back to the Mockee 4.2 till the rom is updated regarding call :)

The screen becomes completely unresponsive on wakeup, and sometimes it works miraculously on first wake. I have to press power button a few times to put device in wake-sleep-wake-sleep to rinse off some residual digitizer input.

Hello,

I am facing a problem where i install JB (actually any version of the JB ROM ) and my Atrix's touch screen is not working at all (Touch works on GB ROMS), I have solved this kind of problem long time ago on my own phone but i cant remember how, now i couldn't find solution anywhere and it needs to be fixed on my friends phone somehow :S

Phone is rooted, Unlocked and has no problems on Official CyanogenMod ROM.

Please help with the link or resource that could help fix Touch Screen problem on JB ROMS, Thank you !

[Atrix 4G Android Development] barius:
Hi I'm reporting a (might be) bug on emmc/sd card writing speed. I'm using the latest 10.1 ROM (2013-12-11), and I'm experiencing very slow and laggish emmc/sd card writing. For example, app installing might take minutes, and downloading might occasionally hang because the writing isn't over yet. Antutu showed a 629/230 (for storage I/O and database I/O, respectively) on storage performance, is that normal?

Also, when I connect my Atrix to laptop and transfer some large file into my phone, whichever storage I copy to, the speed is always around 2MB/s. Occasional temporally hang-ups might occur, with duration ranging from about 1~5 seconds. I tried to change IO scheduler but only got a maximum of 3MB/s from noop. Strange enough, reading speed is ~20MB/s for sd card and ~10MB/s.

Moreover, I see HUGE blue bar in developer option's CPU usage stats when the phone is undergoing writing operations, e.g. copying files via USB or moving files from emms to sd and vice versa. Blue bar is for interrupt if I'm correct? So why does interrupt take so much CPU time?

I searched around in the forum and found no reports like mine, is it a sign that my phone is .. ah, dying:crying::crying: or is it kernel/rom related?

P.S. I've tested against the original kernel in Epinter's 2013-12-11 ROM and krystianp's 2014-01-06 kernel, both no go. Also full wiped on install, no go either.

Please help me! :(:(:(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andresrivas:
The interrupt takes time because the p:roccessor is waiting for the i/o op to complete. You could try sd speed increase app from market. It allows to set up a higher cache value, improving read times as well as writing times on both sd. (This has been covered by me, with examples. Can't remember the thread, though)

On atrics, that value is set on boot, via initrd, but it can be modufied later

Tomorrow will do some tests to see if it has a real impact on performance.

Having similar freeze and reboot with last kernel. Gone back to 12/30/2013.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barius:
Thanks for the reply :D

I've used Faux kernel enhancer to set cache to 2048B but speed boost is not quite noticeable, also changing I/O scheduler does help but with all those tricks I can only get ~4MB/s writing speed, which should be ~10MB/s on CM7 or previous CM10.1 (not 3.1.10 kernel). I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the kernel or rom that's constantly doing writing task to storage, which causes the lag.

Could you please show me your sd and emmc writing speed? If possible please do a copy file test via USB?

Here is a video showing a file copy process using Root Explorer. I was copying a 200mb file from sd card to emmc. The process was quick in the beginning, but slowed down soon, with several serious hangs in the middle.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] krystianp:
I think I wasn't clear enough with my latest kernel. This kernel is ONLY for those with modem drops. And only for debugging and reporting. Others should stay with what they have.

Another thing is transfer rate. I tested on my cm9 and I get average ~12MB/s read and ~4MB/s write on both emmc and sdcard.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] rhcohen:
differences among the three kernels?

Krystianp, can you tell us a bit more about the difference between the three kernels (Dec. 31, Jan. 5, and today's, Jan 7) and how Dec. 31 differed from the kernel in epinter's Dec 11 ROM, other than debug logging? For example what does "less forced" mean?

I found that the Dec 31 kernel restored my camera flash functionality but left me with spontaneous reboots and radio drops (I posted logs at the Atrix Q&A area, thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2595743, since at the time I did not have permission to post here). However, maybe it is just plain luck, but in nearly two days running the Jan 5 kernel I have not had any reboots or radio drops.

So now I am wondering if there is anything to be gained, for me or for the general debug effort, in my trying the Jan 7 kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krystianp:
I'm focusing now on finding the cause of network drops.So each new kernel has something that might help me with that issue. Undervolting is now mainly for stability. Turns out, lowering core voltage makes dsi controller more stable, which reduces screen tearing (or removes completly). So I'm testing if it has any effect on modem. From the comments in code that motorola did I read that some older tegra2 socs had some problem with stability. So I'm testing if uv might help with it also. Anyone who have frequent modem drops should always install the newest kernel. If it doesn't work for most of you, I'll make another one (just like I did recently). I do not follow all the topics, so if someone has log just PM it to me. But ONLY logs focused on modem issues.

Edit:

I've added some extra info in cm9 thread. I'm not sure if it will work on jb, don't remember what is the lowest supported ril lib by it (is it 6 or 4). But if someone would like to test then feel free to do it.

Jan 5 kernel: logs attached

I ran krystianp's Jan 5 kernel for several days with seeming stability -- no spontaneous reboots, no radio drops. Then two days ago, one radio drop which seemed to get fixed by going into and out of airplane mode. Then yesterday and today, loss of radio that could only be cured by rebooting phone. So I captured the requested kernel and radio logs; they are attached as a tar file. These logs were captured about an hour after the reboot.

I guess I will next try the Jan 7 kernel unless someone has a better suggestion.

the last build by krystian is running at 1.2 GHz when booted after some time it doesnot cross 1GHz idk y....

not an issue very rare network drops....

sometimes after in deep sleep it refuses to come out of stand by... (reboot fixed it) (issue is very rare though but still annoying as a rebbot takes time and consumes significant battery)

music (headphones) issue is still present(happens when flash is fixed/ does not appear when flash is broken)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PolesApart:
Please correct me if I'm wrong [MENTION=4641721]krystianp[/MENTION] , but I do believe logs have to be taken after the network drop but before rebooting, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SimplicityApks:
You are right since the log is recreated on reboot. (to get device specific data like atag revision you need to do it after the reboot since that is logged right at boot)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rhcohen:
taking logs

Thank you for that clarification. I will take the logs next time before reboot, if I can. Since sending those logs I have now had two incidents of the phone freezing (screen lit and unresponsive; only recourse was to open the case and pull the battery). Of course I don't know if these were related to the radio dropping. (I'm still on the January 5 kernel).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BenHeng:
OK guys, my girlfriend gave me her atrix because her power button is dying so I installed her this ROM (for the volume wake option mostly).

She's reported something like sleep of death, so I followed a lead and doubled up the minimal CPU value.

However she's now saying that the screen is often not turning on when someone's calling her... Is it a known bug ? Is there a workaround?

It seems that it occurs when the device is in deep sleep, but I'm not 100% certain. Also when the caller hangs up, the ringtones keeps playing till she wake the device with hardware buttons

for inpatience and capble fews, you can build working RIL 4.3 by

Just use all *ril*.so in Schishu's Xoom Github with these settings

BOARD_RIL_NO_CELLINFOLIST := true

BOARD_USES_LEGACY_RIL := true

Hopefully these will be of some value this time to [MENTION=4641721]krystianp[/MENTION].

It seems like my radio is becoming increasingly fragile. I have been running with [MENTION=4641721]krystianp[/MENTION]'s Jan 5 kernel; I went for several days with no radio failures. Then one every couple of days; then about every day, now seemingly less than a day between failures. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe just coincidence? Maybe bits of code getting over-written and so corrupted?

I have been wondering if there is anything I am doing on the phone that correlates with the radio shutting down. But in between the last two shut downs about the only thing I did was to answer one phone call, look at a few web pages with Chrome, and read some stories on the New York Times app.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krystianp:
There is this strange tendency that when something starts to fail it becomes more frequent with time. It might be that modem reads that as some unwanted situation and tries to make some sort of solutions that only make it worse. Anyway i wrote few lines in kernel thread that you should apply also. I have new kernel but it's only for cm9 and I currently don't have access to pc where my cm10.1 kernel script is.

Edit:

Here is cm9 kernel build with wifi settings for cm10.1. Someone will have to swap ramdisks to be able to use it with cm10.1. This is my current testing kernel, it might produce errors. Please don't spam this thread with it's issues. You can PM me if you want to report something that is not working but was working previously.

Be aware that your kernel made the phone much worse. It kept freezing from 5 to 5 minutes. The battery status went crazy as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krystianp:
I'm aware of that and I thought everyone is aware of that when I state "it's not meant for daily use but to spot the cause of network drops". From your logs I can tell that your modem was working fine. What is your issue that you you wanted to report with this kernel log?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RAFAMP:
I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, that was not my intention.

I was having modem drops. You told to use this kernel. I used this kernel and reported the logs. I can't tell if there were any modem drops because the phone was inoperable. :eek:

Do you want me to log the kernel that i was having trouble with?
