[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sola fide:
Why? I mean honestly...why? What devices out there truly support the full advantages of Bluetooth 4.0 (meaning BLE) that you would actually use on your phone? Name us 5 actual, reasonable, affordable, and available devices that would interest the community which support BT4.0+BLE. Because I would love to know. (and no offense but heart monitors don't count)

To my understanding BT4.0 only brings BLE if the chip used supports BLE. This is an optional feature; not just automatically included. Remember...there is a difference between a device having Bluetooth 4.0 and having Bluetooth 4.0 BLE. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I've read a couple different articles and posts going back and forth on whether or not the chip inside the Galaxy Nexus truly supports BT 4.0+BLE or is just BT 4.0 compatible without BLE capabilities. And even if it does...odds are the next Nexus device will run Android 5.0 with full BT4.0+BLE support (pure speculation on my part, just running the odds). I would rather Google engineers be working on that - than a phone that was meant for developers....not actually a flagship device as everyone wants to claim. (This is my opinion on the matter)

Just because a device has the markings of Bluetooth 4.0 doesn't mean it automatically get's all the advantages of BLE. The device must specifically state that it supports BLE. And so far, I haven't really seen anything on the market that supports BLE that makes me go:

"Holy crap, I need this product...we must have this on our phone now!"

This same marketing scheme was addressed with BT 3.0 and 3.0+HS (AKA 3.1). Everyone slapped on BT 3.0 numbers but didn't include 3.0+HS on the product. Creates product hype and people will buy it without doing research.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] id628:
Why? So that we can play with devices like this:

http://www.indiegogo.com/meterplug/x/1655370?c=home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sola fide:
Notice it says Bluetooth 4.0....and does not mention BLE. Meaning it's backwards compatible with Bluetooth 3.0 and the differences without BLE are minimal for this type of device. So....basically no need for 4.0 implementation on the Galaxy Nexus to use this toy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] id628:
Yet another one is the Motes system: http://igg.me/at/motes/x/1655370

Another one is all the new automatic door locks. The list is growing quickly if you look at Indiegogo and Kickstarter...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sola fide:
Yes, 6 months later the Indiegogo and Kickstarter projects are beginning. And the list is beginning to grow. However, there is still no confirmation, that I've seen, that the SGN has 4.0+BLE. We've only seen that it has a chip with 4.0 capability. Without BLE support, the access to 4.0 won't be as advantageous for all these new devices as some might think.

Plus, how long will it take for these new jump-start companies/devices to be funded, and complete, and available? It took almost a year for the Pebble watch and CooKoo watch to finally be released to investors. This Fall the SGN will be 2 years old. Around the corner is another rumored Nexus Device. How much manpower is Google going to actually devote to the software development in the Galaxy Nexus in future upgrade releases? I hope it will be there; but probably not a lot. The focus right now is the Nexus 4 and whatever the next gen Nexus device is. I'm not arguing against the addition of 4.0 (and hopefully 4.0+BLE) software upgrades to the SGN; but I think users making a demand for it at this point is a little over the top.

If Android 4.3 does indeed have the support for BT 4.0 as rumored you'll find out if it actually has BLE or not. If it doesn't...you're just gaining the newest Bluetooth stack without any of the power savings (maybe some slight power savings)....which might (or might not) work with all these new creations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zotak:
Hello,

I bought the game GTA : Vice City, but every time I enter a car the game freeze.

The radio keeps playing and the map(compass) move, but the rest (cars, people, lights, etc..) stay still.

On foot the game run great, no problem.

On GTA 3, I have no problem at all, in car or on foot.

Anyone else have problems with this game ?

I am on CM10.1 (10/01/13)

Thanks a lot !

EDIT :

I tryed :

Re-downloading the game.

Changed the graphics options

Additional information :

Nothing happens during the cut scenes, I just hear the voices.

I'm french.

Cheers !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rar3:
Hey Zotak, I have Vice City on my device too which is also running CM10.1 and mine runs perfectly - I've never had a problem.

There are a few simple things you can try such as freeing up space on your device, deleting the game's cache and data (this is safe and doesn't remove save games), ensuring you have no CPU or memory-heavy applications open whilst playing the game. You can try using this app to remove any applications using up all your memory.

What is your current CPU state? Try changing it to about 1075MHz and then playing, your CPU might currently be restricted. (settings>performance>processor)

Hahahahahaha I was waiting for this. Just go away you pest! Let the moderators worry about this, I quietly reported the post, that's all you need to do, you don't need to show that you're a kiss ass to everyone and interrupt people's threads.

ERMAHGERD! KERNEL!

Build 13.02.22​

Welcome to my latest learning project. This is a result of me wanting to better understand how kernels are put together. I'm dipping my toes a bit at first, but I'm going to be doing quite a few different things as time goes on, and it's only going to get more complex and I get more comfortable with the process. Successful things will stick around, unsuccessful or little used features may get squashed out over time to keep things as lean as possible.

Features:

Compiled with Linaro 13.01 toolchain and -O3 optimizations

Upstreamed to Linux 3.0.63

Undervoltable - Use SVS compatible CPU control app

Kernel mpdecision enhancements by showp1984

ARM optimized multi-core topology scheduler by the Linaro team

New I/O Schedulers:

ROW - Read Over Write - A new I/O scheduler designed from the ground up specifically for flash based mobile devices. It is designed to give priority to reads without starving writes, but does not implement any fairness. (default scheduler)

Zen - noop with a touch of deadline. Aims for simplicity. Implements deadlines for fairness and gives priority to synchronous requests. No merging or reordering of operations is performed.

SIO - Simple IO - Another mix of noop and deadline. Implements deadlines for fairness and performs minimal merging. No priority or reordering of operations are performed.

Fast charge support - Allows any charger to be seen as AC. Requires app to toggle fast charge mode

zRam (compcache) support with frontswap - Allows creation of swap space using a portion of compressed RAM, and uses free uncompressed RAM when possible to minimize I/O operations

New CPU Governors

Lionheart - A performance tuned variant of conservative

Intellidemand - Intelligent ondemand. Scales relative to GPU load

Wheatley - Governor with a great sleep profile. Perfect for users with lots of idle time

All drivers integrated into kernel

Single installer for ICS AOSP and JB pmem AOSP versions

Loads of memory and I/O optimizations for a smoother overall experience

See changelog history for even more features

To enable zRam after installation, go into a terminal and execute "zramenable" as root. It will activate immediately and reactivate on every boot. To disable it, run "zramdisable" as root. It will remove the boot scripts and immediately disable zRam and recover the RAM used. Note to ROM developers: if you include this kernel in your ROM, these files will need to be extracted from this installer and included in yours if you wish to include zRam support.

Fast charge support requires the use of a compatible fast charge toggle app, such as this or this.

Thanks go to:

Snuzzo: My kernel mentor, for pointing me in the right direction to get started, the great beginners tips, and for letting me use the installer.

con247: For the scripts used in the installer.

Re: [KERNEL][AOSP][02/05/13] Ermahgerd Kernel [LINARO]

You have done an excellent job with this one sir. Smooth as butter with Lionheart and row. I listened to about 6 hours of spotify and had about 3-4 hours of screen on time and still had about 40% battery when I plugged it in last night. Absolutely amazing man.

Agreed, I'm on Neo's Infection rom, and I tried staying on stock funky kernel (thanks snuzzo!) But in the end I returned to erhmagerd kernel and lionheart is absolutely a beast

My what a big changelog you have.

Most of this is more memory and I/O optimizations. I experimented with SD readahead values and increased the default to 1024. I didn't find much benefit beyond that.

Upstreamed to Linux 3.0.63

Implemented multi-core topology scheduler

Implemented optimized SHA-1 routines

Implemented optimized checksum routines

Implemented optimized idle handlers

Implemented optimized cache cleaning

Implemented ARM specific compile time optimizations

Implemented dynamic writeback throttling (backported from Linux 3.1)

Increased default SD readahead

Disabled GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPER

Reduced CPU transition latency

Fixed possible bugs with memory compaction and proximity sensor initialization

Trapped on the Rez

I am S-on, Hboot 2.27, Worldwide radios, Amon Ra 3.15.

I ran a thread on Neo's Infection forum about my inability to to get off of EclipticRez 6.2. I detailed all my wipes and retries there. Today, I tried to go to Wildstang's clean 4.2 and your Ermahgerd 13.02.13 kernel. Same as before, I followed Stang's OP instructions on wiping, had a clean install, flashbboted boot.img, and booted up fine. Play Store and Gmail worked fine. I then rebooted into Recovery and went through the S-on Ermahgerd kernel install successfully. It starts to boot, clears the white htc screen, then hangs on a screen labeled "Upgrading android" and showing "starting apps". I let that run for about 45 minutes, with no change. I pulled the battery, pulled the SD card, deleted PH98IMG, and nand recovered EclipticRez. I am thinking there is something about trying to get off a sense kernel that just does not work for me. I was a longtime CounterShrike user (and before that Rachel...) before I decided to try Sense in order to get bluetooth back, so I know I can run a AOSP non-sense ROM successfully.

Any ideas or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Re: [KERNEL][AOSP][02/13/13] Ermahgerd Kernel [LINARO]

Cfp33pfc,

After installing 4.2, try installing funkybean kernel. If that works, then try this kernel. I too, am s-on and don't have trouble flashing any of these kernels. I'm currently running this kernel in zram off mode.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
My instinct that isn't kernel related. The OS is already booted by that point, and it's just rebuilding the dalvik cache.

Just to verify, you are using the pmem kernel? The only ION based ROM out right now is PAC-man ION Edition.
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
PMEM all the way.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Re: [KERNEL][AOSP][02/13/13] Ermahgerd Kernel [LINARO]

Try without a wipe.
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Thank you Shrike. Very nice kernel. Smoothest yet for Raxa and Infection. I am on Raxa testing but may revert back to Infection because it seems more solid. Notice that after I flashed your kernel, my screen comes on much faster after pressing the power button.

brenuga, Thank you for your performance numbers. It seems that you have a knack for trying kernels. What do you recommend for settings? Saw lionheart/row but seemed to drain my battery. I'll try again tomorrow. Intellidemand and row or noop seem to work very well for me with Ermahgerd. Do you change things like at screen off etc etc with setcpu or Rom Toolbox profiles? It does not seem that kernel tuner has check boxes to set at boot but I may have missed them. I like that tool but does not look like it has profiled.

Any recommendations appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
Tried it, thanks, but it did not work. Still hangs in the "starting apps" screen.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

Tried it, thanks. Hung forever in Neo's rotating cyanogenMod picture.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Thanks to Shrike for the 2/13 update, just flashed to my phone. I don't claim to be an expert, and I need to run some more benchmarks, but in general my findings were:

1) Lionheart / ROW is best for Web browsing or other highly interactive tests when you want responsiveness. It does seem to use more battery than other combos, though it's still better than the stock cpu governor.

2) Intellidemand / noop is the best all-around performance combo, IMHO, but your battery usage may vary depending on what you do with your phone. Intellidemand is pretty much designed to eliminate lag in GPU-intensive situations such as streaming a video or playing games.

3) After using different combos for a while, I'm currently back on Wheatley / ROW. Wheatley is not going to be your best choice if you play games a lot, but IMHO is the best for battery life. It keeps the CPU at min speed more so than other governors and is proven to make the phone deep sleep more than others. Honestly, the combo I used the longest on RAGE 1.9 was Wheatley / sio so that's also a good combo for battery life.

I do use SetCPU to create different profiles for Screen On, Screen Off and games. If you don't want to fool with profiles, some people like Snuzzo just suggest picking one governor / io scheduler you like and just run it for a while and see what kind of battery life you get. If you are just running one combo all the time, you probably shouldn't underclock the cpu speed. I only turn down cpu speed for my Screen Off profile.

I believe Kernel Turner does have options to set governor on boot. From the main screen, click the wrench icon and the top setting is "Restore Settings After Reboot."

One good thing about kernel tuner is it lets you set the cpu voltage for ermagherd (or Funky kernel for that matter). Ermagherd is not undervolted by default, whereas Funky Kernel is undervolted by -50 by default. Every time you flash a new version of ermahgerd, you will notice the default voltage for 192 mhz starts at 800. Most people can safely go down by -50 across the board (press All -12.5 mV * 4). I am running at -100 mV across the board with no issues. To get there, press All -12.5 * 10, so that it says 700 mV next to 192 mhz. Undervolting *does* make a small difference to extend battery life.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

There are two steps to flashing either FunkyBean or ermagherd.

1) Flash the zip file that has the aroma installer. Pick S-On, PMEM for JB. The installer will place a zip on your sdcard and reboot to the white hboot screen. The first time I installed Funky Bean, I didn't realize there was a second step and just rebooted back to home screen.

What you're supposed to do: 2) At the white hboot screen, press Power to enter the bootloader menu. Wait. Hboot will see that there is a zip card on your SD card and ask whether you want to go ahead with an update. Press Volume Up for yes. It will flash the zip and then prompt you to press power to reboot to the home screen.

If you're S-On and haven't done #2, you haven't actually flashed the kernel to your phone.
[HTC Rezound] gleggie:
Thanks for this... definitely screenshotting this for future reference lol
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Re: [KERNEL][AOSP][02/13/13] Ermahgerd Kernel [LINARO]

@gleggie You're welcome, young Padawan :)

Btw, to get to -100 mV, you press - 12.5 × 8, not 10. I said wrong in previous post.
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
Thanks, I was doing those steps, but I appreciate the suggestions.

So.... progress of a sort.

I went back to my old reliable, Countershrike. It installed fine, booted fine. I did my normal steps of some play store, some gmail, etc., then the acid test - I rebooted! And wonders of wonders it worked like a charm! So now I wonder, is there a problem going from sense to CM10.1? My next step will be to try going from CS to one of Neo's ROM's. Stay tuned for the next thrilling chapter, same ROM-time, same ROM-channel!
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Re: [KERNEL][AOSP][02/13/13] Ermahgerd Kernel [LINARO]

Edit: nm, read your previous posts. You can try going to hboot screen and choosing the Clear Storage option. It is basically the same as wipe all from amon ra. Sometimes if you run amon ra from office your phone and not from adb, it doesn't quite wipe everything like you would expect.

I suspect the reason why going from Ecliptic to CS worked for you is something to do with Shrike's install script automatically taking care of some of the kernel flashing or cache wiping steps you would normally have to do manually.

I second the suggestion to try FunkyBean and see if it works any differently.
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
Thanks! From CS3.1 I went to Neo Infection. Per ususal, booted fine first time, could run Play store, gmails. Booted to recovery. Installed Funky Bean, went to hboot, to load it, etc. Booted up phone - locked in "starting apps". Shut it down, pull card, delete PH98IMG, restore CS 3.1. Next try will be Shrike's 4.1.2. Really frustrating...
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
Same story with Shrike's 4.1.2, will run but not reboot. Also tried it with Snuzzo's funkybean applied, no joy. Stuck on the initial pac-man character screen both times.

So far the only thing that is different in all these tries is that CS 3.1 worked, which is the only full Aroma install. All of the Fastboot tries have not worked, and both Snuzzo and Shrike's kernels have not worked. There must be something magic in Shrike's Aroma script! As always, thanks for listening and I welcome any and all suggestions.
[HTC Rezound] cfp33pfc:
Fixed - my error all along! It was pointed out to me that I was only flashing boot.img temporarily. When I changed to the syntax "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it worked perfectly! Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions to fix this.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
New version, mainly just to implement iHateWebOS's VM settings. I discontinued the ION version because I also just discontinued the only public ION ROM we had.

With this, I'm pretty happy with where the kernel is. I can't foresee any changes coming up in the near future, so there will probably not be another release for a while.

build 13.02.22

Upstreamed to Linux 3.0.66

Implemented iHateWebOS's video tearing fix

Discontinued ION version
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Flashed latest version. Still experiencing about the same video tearing in YouTube native app. That was with hq setting on, viewing standard definition content. Will do some more tests soon.

Loving this kernel. Thanks for the great work. I don't mean to put down anyone else's hard work but I wish neo included this kernel with his ROMs
[HTC Rezound] dbighead77:
I'll second that tearing report. A 5min Youtube clip had about the same.

Infection 2.1

Ermahgerd: Build 13.02.22, Lionheart+row, undervolt by 50mV

I ran that video on wifi if that makes a difference.

Other than that, I'm really liking this kernel. Lionheart is my favorite! Keep up the good work Shrike!
[HTC Rezound] iHateWebOS:
I did all my testing with HD video. I tested using YouTube HD videos, and there was a noticeable improvement in tearing during playback. To be honest i didn't even bother testing non-HD videos assuming that if HD playback improved so would everything else.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
That same implement from ihatewebos was also implemented into Funy2.6 which is included in my 4.2.2 work
[HTC Rezound] 3L3C7R0:
Huh? Lol. I can't do lionheart/row with funky 2.6
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I don't know why, but for whatever reason I thought the comment was directed towards that video tearing fix lol
