to activate older kernel prior 130109 go to terminal emulator (app) and type this

I am going to add this symbol(^) for a space (DO NOT ADD IT WHEN USING TERMINAL its just to let you know a space is supposed to be there) ... the -o is the letter o.. stl10 is three letters then the number 10

each line is followed by pressing enter

open app terminal emulator then type:

su

mount^-o^rw,remount^/dev/block/stl10^/system

ln^-s^/lib/modules^/system/lib/modules

then reboot

************************************

the newest kernel 130109

************************************

use je2854's zip file to make swap file from earlier in this thread... i used the 64mb zip... you can change the mb value later

the new kernel has swappiness preset at 10

to turn on that swap in kernel 130109 open terminal emulator

su

swapon^/dev/block/zram0

to turn off

su

swapoff^/dev/block/zram0

to set swappiness same terminal emulator

su

echo^10^>^/proc/sys/vm/swappiness

to set the size of the file

su

echo 42 > /data/local/usezram

I did the last one without the symbol(^) that represents a space to help see what it looks like without it...

the number after the echo is any number you choose that you want to set the value....

check with setcpu under info memory... or app disc info at the bottom it will show swapp under the ram

I know you didn't need it like that Mr swim... i just did it how I wish someone would have told me :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I had already flashed the latest Lazarus before I tried to activate swap. Then this thread confused me to no end. I thought I needed to use the method to activate an older kernel. Then after trying and trying to get it to work I finally found the method to activate it in the new kernel. Now when I use the new method it doesn't work. Am I going to have to reflash the kernel to make it happen? Will that even fix it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
reflash the new one... it is already on and set at swappiness of 10...sorry stueycaster...that pic is from the app SETCPU.. i edited the post above... you have to make a swap file... use je2854's zip file from this thread to make it
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Hm. After getting all set up on Tweaked 3.2 and Lazarus 01/09 on EXT4, I noticed the Camera force closes when opening.

I'm just going to start from scratch, as I want a "pure" setup.

I am debating whether to go RFS or EXT4. I was thinking that Lazarus is compatible with EXT4, however, I am wondering if there has been any quantitative analysis performed comparing RFS to EXT4 on FP5. I thought that at this point, it should be pretty much the same as far as performance goes, so I was thinking of just sticking to RFS.

My general rule of thumb is that close to stock is more stable.

Sorry if the EXT4 vs RFS issue is already debated to death...

EDIT: I'm gonna just roll with RFS and report back for now.

In case you guys haven't seen this yet, I found this to help with reducing lag on the Droid Charge:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
[Verizon Droid Charge] je2854:
it has been debunked that the lag reducer does not work to the fully on the Charge but only at certain places.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Ok it still doesn't show any swappiness. I'm probably going to have to wipe data huh?

Update: I fixed it. I forgot I had put my own usezram folder in there. When I flashed je2854's file it didn't change it out. Well, we"ll see how this thing works out. Thanks man.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
So it only partly works on the Charge? It does seem to help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
did you install je2854's. zram 64mb.zip thru cwm?

glad you got it...

With the new kernal... Everytime you boot it it will turn on zram and set it swappiness at 10...so if you don't like it remember to remove the file
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Yes. It seems to have worked fine

So I take it it'll put memory from lesser used processes in swap and free up ram for the highly used processes. Thus speeding up the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kynalvarus:
I think that EXT4 and RFS are roughly equivalent now in performance on clean installs. The one thing that I don't like about RFS is that I don't trust its error recovery abilities. Every time I've left my phone in RFS, the /data partition accumulates errors. I suspect that this leads to instability and bad performance over time. I have more confidence in EXT4 to be able to replay its journals after crashes to avoid this sort of FS corruption.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kynalvarus:
Interestingly, what I'm noticing with zram swap enabled is that about half of the swap is being used by cache. This may produce some apparent I/O speedup, since normally the memory overpressure on this device leaves no RAM at all for caching.

Also, I'm beginning to question whether or not vm.swappiness = 10 is the optimal setting for the Charge. I found 60 to be too aggressive, leading to inconsistent performance - sometimes great, sometimes laggy, and switching back and forth rapidly. I've been experimenting with values from 20-40 and am getting more bang for the swap than at 10, but without the intermittent lagginess at 60. Has anyone else played with the swappiness settings much?
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
I did 20...better than 10 on ski Safari...haven't tried other values...@je2854... did you use your zip file for EXT4 conversion?... or the imoseyon?...are you running ext4?... how's your battery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] je2854:
are you talking about using the zram files on EXT4? Or are you asking about using the EXT4 conversion zips?

I get an average of 19 hours on a single charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
ext4 conversion zips...i am thinking of redoing my phone and using your zips... i think imoseyon is breaking the battery calibration...and it is leaving efs partition rfs...but before I try it I wanted to know how your phone is acting
[Verizon Droid Charge] je2854:
I am using the Christmas Kernel and Tweaked 3.2
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Concerning swappiness:

I think 10 is too low, and someone said 60 is too high. I tried using 50 on 128 and I had some issues: namely I could see it swapping when I went to an app (black screen on Messaging). I'll try 40 today and see what happens.
[Verizon Droid Charge] whatthefunk:
Good kernel!

I've been enjoying 1225 kernel. Voodoo sound works (which is in large part why I still have the Charge) it's stable and battery life is OK for me. Just want to say thanks for keeping kernel development alive on the Charge!
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
That sounds very interesting. Is this corruption avoidable? Is this corruption more likely to occur if the phone crashes?

In any case, the kernel rocks!

Agreed, Voodoo Sound works with Bass Boost. I installed a 64GB microsd card which works fine on FAT32. The only issue I have is that CWM won't make a successful nandroid, I get errors about /data not backup up properly. If I put my 32GB microsd card in, nandroid work normally.

I basically have been using the Charge as a media player. I have FLAC loaded up on the 64GB microsd. I prefer the sound over iDevices, as it sounds more natural and less fatiguing with my somewhat simbilant IEMs. Sooner or later I want to step into the Note II, which will have less bass roll-off and lower output impedance so it will drive low-impedance IEMs with greater damping factor and more authority. The Note II has a Voodoo port through Stweaks, which I haven't tested.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Corruption is a what having a journal is supposed to avoid. It's just that Samsung RFS is so very hacky (it's a journal on top of FAT32) that it's hard to trust it, and given that kynalvarus has seen the corruption first hand, not trusting it seems to prove a good instinct. Granted, I don't think ext4 journaling is the best, and it's a hack itself, but it's had a lot more eyes on it and it has a much more proven track record, being a part of the Linux mainline. I think there are much better journaling file systems available then ext4 from a reliability standpoint, but I'd take it over RFS any day of the week from that aspect.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
if you start seeing lag you should try dslices fast engine flush widget in his scripts and tweaks thread... it seems to clear app cache in the swap and works better than an app killer that seems to clear more ram....His widget is from zepplinrox but it is better explained how to use it in his thread ... also you need script manager to use it...
[Verizon Droid Charge] whatthefunk:
Yeah, I'm also using a 64GB microsd to hold my lossless m4a's (a relic from past iPods) played with the Gone Mad Music Player app w/ EQ disabled. The Voodoo'd Charge + MEElectronics CW31 Wooden In-Ear Headphones = Win, in my book. The Galaxy S platform is arguably one of the best portable media players ever made, and our Charge variant sprinkles on SAMOLED+ display with fortified glass and LTE. Despite the limited oomph factor, particularly in terms of memory, this phone has become very usable, especially with Tweaked + Lazarus, and the sound quality is hard to beat.

btw, I just enabled zram 64 on the latest Lazarus, first time trying out this swap stuff and wow, it really helps! :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I run sound through the car dock that I got along with my phone from Verizon into my car's stock radio. I got the paid PowerAmp app back when it was only $3. I love that app, especially the graphic equalizer. My music collection is a hodgepodge of stuff I've been building up for years. I can make any one of the 992 mp3s on my phone sound great playing in my car.

Also zram 64 set with swappiness at 20 has my phone running sweet.

When using 1214 my battery is AWESOME! Never been better and went from averaging 6-8 hours to 15-18 hours and I have tried everything under the sun on this phone.

Anything after 1214 kills my battery.

Fast charge was implemented in 1219.

Would be nice to have the option of fast charge in 1214.

Maybe a battery friendly version of the kernel?

---------- Post added 16th January 2013 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th January 2013 at 11:53 PM ----------

Hold up on that request.

The only version I haven't tried is the newest 130109

I'll try that for a few days first.

thanks.

Finally set up swap. Send to have fixed the screen response issue when plugged in for me

[Verizon Droid Charge] -Lawless:
130109 hasn't been any better on battery so having fast charge added to 1214 would be an excellent kernel for battery performance IMHO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] je2854:
did you mount the /'partitions' before you flashed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
No I didn't. But after I removed the zram folder I put in there myself it flashed correctly. Things are going well here except for my perpetual weak signal issues where I work. The only way I can get a decent signal is to go outside in the cold.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmanschuette:
You know what has helped me the most?

In SetCPU I set up a profile to underclock my phone to 200mhz when my screen is off. This has almost tripled my battery life. I unplugged my phone at 6:30 this morning, it's 8:02 and I have 49%.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Huh. I didn't think about that. Do you have any issues with audio playback with Pandora or something with a clock that low?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmanschuette:
Nope. I listen to my phone in my truck with my screen off, and I don't even get a jitter. Haven't tried with Pandora yet, I'll let you guys know.

I set it to a min and max of 200, cfq, and conservative. But this is only while the screen is off. When I turn the screen back on it sets the max back to 1000

[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I guess I'm the weird one here. I don't really care about battery life. If I try to use data on my phone at all, while at work, it wipes my battery right out. Sometimes I get to sit by my machine and wait for it to finish so I play Freecell and other card games. I always wipe my battery out by early afternoon. So I charge it. The way I use it my battery doesn't stand a chance.

I got "Better Battery Stats" and it looks like I have the proper amount of deep sleep time to me. Maybe a kernel with better battery usage would help but I don't worry about it much.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmanschuette:
Any news on the fix for the battery drain? Apparently it's coming more and more frequently over on chargeforums.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the whitelist you added to fix the hotboots in 1219? We've had some people running tests, and 1214 was at least 23% better on battery life.

Lately whenever I took my phone off the desk dock it started crashing badly. I went back to stock kernel. I'll run it like this for a while then probably try out the next version of Lazarus.

And why I dont see more 150 MB of phones memory?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Eth4n:
This is not ram, this is internal memory (space), and the value it's right if u have the default rom. If i'm right this is the system partition. Then scrolling down u will find the other internal space (data partition) and then you will find sd card space.

Maybe i'm wrong,so it's better you wait someone for a better explanation ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] antiparadigm:
So i have had my EVOLTE for a while now (3rd one) and currently I was running OMJ's JB Sense Rom. Everything was working fine, but in the past day, my phone was a little laggy, so I downloaded another ROM and Kernel, and set my phone down to let it download.

I noticed that the phone was getting a little hot, but thought that when downloading large files, it sometimes did. Later I went back to check on the phone while it was on the charger, and it seemed to be going fine, but when I unplugged it, the phone turned off, and now will not turn back on.

The soft button lights will flash when I hold up and power or down and power, but the screen never comes on, and sometimes it will randomly vibrate. Ive been trying to fix it using the unlimited.io ubuntu tools, but I cant get any of them to recognize it as being plugged into the USB. My laptop just keeps seeing it as an MTP device. I am rooted but not S-OFF...

Please Help!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I've got nothing, then. Doesn't sound like a total brick, though, especially since the capacitive buttons light up. If you can let the battery die, plug your phone up and see if it will charge. This would be a good sign, in my opinion. Was your battery low when you were trying to flash the ROM?

No it was charged. I was running the ROM for about a day and then late last night it just turned off while in use.

You need to hold the power and volume DOWN buttons after doing the battery pull reset. That should get you into the bootloader.

Sounds like your phone works but your screen is dead...phone should not get hot like that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Trying powering it on again, and connect it to a PC. See if the PC recognizes it at all. That will help determine whether the device is on, and your screen is burnt out, or if something else is wrong. If it does acknowledge a device was plugged in, try an "adb devices" to see if adb can see the device.

If the screen doesn't come on at all, you should have no problem taking it to Sprint and getting a replacement.

Hello guys, i'm new in this forum.

I've recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note, factory unlocked. It came with the 2.3.6 version of android and it worked perfectly. But today, i've upgraded it to ICS by KIES (i'm a mac user) and it doesn't recognize my sim card (It says emergency calls only). The phone isn't blocked and it works perfectly, except from that.

I've tried factory resets and everything, and it doesn't work.

Then, i've downgraded it to 2.3.6 again and guest what: IT WORKS!

But then, i upgrade it again to ICS and it doesn't work again. It's not a sim card problem, i've tried another ones and they don't work neither.

Please help me asap, i'm in 2.3.6 now because that's the only way to call in my phone...

Hi there fellows,

first of all, I wanted to thank all of you for the work you do on our nice phone: Developers, supporters, everyone: You've all been a great help for me :)

Now I come to a problem I've experienced since a few days (since I updated to FXP152 [CM10], to be exact. Reverting to FXP151/150 didn't solve the problem): "Poweramp Unlocker" just disappeared from my installed apps. This is quite a nasty problem, since I bought the unlocker a while ago and I just love Poweramp! In a few days this problem will get worse as I won't be able to use Poweramp anymore :(

Here's logcat: [ATTACHED] (package can't be installed to /mnt/asec/com.... for whatever reason)

Here's a screenshot: [ATTACHED] (Translation: Unknown errorcode while installing the app: "-24")

Here's a link to a bug report of which I _THINK_ it could be relevant: [Issue 34880 @ android bug tracker, unfortunately I am not allowed to post links :(] (strangely, only the pa unlocker is affected for me, other apps still work fine)

So, if anyone has an idea what I could do now, I'd be very very happy :) The bug report suggests that it could work to install the apk (without taking the playstore-way). Since I actually bought the app, this could work, right? Does the LicenseChecker-API always return a valid license as long as I bought it, even when I installed the same apk I'd get through playstore myself? And, last but not least, could anyone who bought the app through playstore send me the unlocker apk file so I can try? I already tried to get in touch with the developer, but unfortunately even after 10 emails either he really doesn't understand what my problem is or he's just upset he hasn't the right "pre-defined-answer-emails" and doesn't want to write a new one :(

Thank you very very much in advance!!
