Focal app ?

Off topic if disturb someone please ignore but the picture from focal (camera app) seem to be under quality (compare to other camera app) may be it use high compress ratio example I take picture at 3 megapixel it use only 4-500 KB in file size while other app use 1.3 MB can anyone guide me how to make focal use less compress ratio or use higher quality. I try to google but not found how to customize it.

@ pengus

The kernel is GREAT! Thanks for compiling and updating it all the time!

How ever there is one thing I can not in my mind: Why the HELL when I restrict the cpu to max 816 MHz cpuspy tells me it uses 1000 MHz as often as 816 MHz??? How on earth can it do that? :D

I tried switching governers + schedulers and changing back and forth with frequencis. However, it didn't work. Kernel does its own thang :rolleyes:

Guys pengus said a million time with comments like this he cannot help.

So first you need to mention the setup you have rom/kernel. Second a screenshot of the battery stats would be helpful and third which apps are running.

Re: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][010 - 2013/01/19] Kowalski Kernel

Everything seems to be working fine for me.

I am running Temasek's latest build of CM10.1.

Wi-fi drain when the phone is in sleep is great. Does not drain much at all. Much better than the kernel I used before.

It feels more stable overall.

what's the point of testing if we don't know what are they suppose to do? :D

if they're about reducing battery drain in wi-fi - i'll test it right away... if not - i'm not having any other issues with your kernel, only battery life bothers me... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
They're all three supposed to unify for good the compatibility between 10, 10.1 and ics and yes, they all use an improved power saving scan mode by default. I really need to know if they work equally and well on all three operating systems...

Re: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][010 - 2013/01/19] Kowalski Kernel

Instead of arguing about what they do you could already have tested all three modules.

pengus isn't doing this for himself. If no one helps out he will just drop the unified support and you either choose whatever ROM he does or can't use his kernel anymore. Simple as that.

I really don't know why you question his actions rather than jump in and spent a couple minutes of testing what he kindly asked for.

Rom: [ROM][CM10][old bl] ParanoidAndroid v2.5 - build 02 [Jan 18]

Kernel: Kowalski Kernel 010

Test 1: kowalski-kernel-010-pno_iscan-default-module.zip

With wifi on I activated 3g and changed to 2g. The colours of the wifi and data icons kept white forever XD.

Wifi dosn't work, calls work but the icon is still white.

I disconnect wifi and then connects auto to 3g.

I repeated all again and now no problems :S, so weird XD.

I went out with wifi on, when the phone lost connection it reconnected to 2g, I went home and got connected to wifi again.

Nothing else.

Test 2: kowalski-kernel-010-pno_noscan-default-module.zip

It works fine, connectin, getting wifi connection lost and then reconnecting, changing bewtween wifi.

3g/2g.

Test 3: kowalski-kernel-010-pno-default-module.zip

When I switched the phone, on unlock screen (999 batery), waited for a minute and the sd-card/wifi/data icons didn't appeared. I had to wrote the pin code and then appeared.

It works fine, connectin, reconnectin, changing bewtween wifi-3g/2g.

Edit: I asked because these days I am studing for the exams and I don't have too much time, and to know what to test more or less, sorry. I will keep testing them.

to everybody having strange battery readings, try to flash the M1 without ramhack.. in my case it solved glitches and strange difficulties in reconnecting to 2g/3g after wifi goes off.

[MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] , do you think that carveout memory does affect radio actions? i'm really having no more problems since m1 norh busted in.
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
i don't understand your problems.

I had the ported LG ICS camera that I downloaded back in PA - times, and it FCed quite often on 4.2. (defcomg's ported one)

With 4.3, I switched to feavs ported LG ICS camera for CM10.1, and it works like a charm ... (be carefull when choosing the zips in feavs thread, he also has a ported LG JB one, and this did not work for me, did not try his CM10-LG-ICS-ports)

and with network: Since i switched to 126 ages ago I have absolutely no issues with it. Did those of you who still have network issues wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache? If not, please do so. Also check if your IMEI is the same like the one printed under your battery or on your phones box.
[LG Optimus 2x] yarisd4dturbo:
With new M1 norh...for the candy crush lovers...it work... ahahahah thx Pengus for this awesome kernel ;):good:
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
that carveout ram was "carved out" for something, not only for aesthetic reasons, it seems. Maybe some tegra needs. Installing other software is for choice but still remains a workaround.

i've personally increased zram to 100MB, so 250megs are still available for realtime memory pages... damn i can open 20 apps and still working good, no more app hangs, no more screen flickering, only proportional lag that kicks in for any other app in background.

Before when ram was low many many issues started to come by. Data dropouts, gallery malfunctions, screen flashes, black screen on lock screen, long pauses etc... Now... unbelivable, even battery seems to work good without those "spikes" here and there.

for now it's really better than 126rh :fingers-crossed:

One feed back on the no RAM hack kernel.

1) No difference in camera . Normal shots work as usual and Panorama shots crash while rendering . It used to work well in CM 10.0 but never in 10.1

2) Some games like beach buggy still crash mid way .

3) Overall responsiveness seems improved .

what rom are you on?
[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
How did you do this?
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
by altering build.prop zram parameters to something equal to 40 or 45 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dimedevil:
Changing the ro.zram.default and persist.service.zram are not making my ZRAM into 100 MB... they still in 26%... exactly how did you do it?

thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
set those two zram params to =40

then set maximum size (26%) in memory settings and go in shell and issue a "free" command.. it will tell you that you have 90MB circa swap area :)

go next post to see how..

Late edit:

just to clarify a little bit what zram does:

it fits compressed memory pages using intelligent compression when needed. If it stores in swap, let's say, jpeg images, then it will not waste cpu cycles to try to compress it.

You can get virtually 3-4X the space with zram compression (eg. 90MB swap area x4=360MB real life ram pages *best effort*), and java app memory pages are full of comprimable garbage s***t :D

Tough it will waste some cpu but swap space (fast ram one) is better than full tiny device's ram, isn't it ?!

:silly:
[LG Optimus 2x] dimedevil:
I am fully aware what ZRAM does :) I just thought that you are successfull in making the ZRAM area more than 26%.... 88MB (91xxx KB) is still 26%.... It's the part that you tell us about making ZRAM into 100MB ("i've personally increased zram to 100MB, so 250megs are still available for realtime memory pages... ")... If you can do this, please do tell us :)
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
you indeed hit the spot, i should not modify things at late night :eek:

i was confused and thinked that was the spot that made it happen.. it was not.. let the build.prop alone then!

alter /system/bin/handle_compcache as text (it's a bash script)

find CCSIZE=$(($(($MEMTOTAL * $PROP)) / 100)) and change that 100 to 50 .. (fine tune your needs with a value from 100 to 50)

save and reboot

(install zram stats from market to know how efficient zram is)

now you'll have huuuuge swap partition and still be able to change its size

(eg. 50 value makes a 125MB circa with 18% default selected size) :D

kind regards
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
And what settings do you use right now? 50 value? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
50 with 10% ... it feels enough good for now

maybe now i will set more swappiness :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kyrandialegend:
As far as I remember Pengus discouraged swappiness and zram together in his cm10, but probably I'm wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
swappiness is the kernel attitude to swap.. it will kill performances at some point, but if you are heavy ram user maybe you'll get benefits from some extra cache memory. Only self-test can tell :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kyrandialegend:
Yes, sorry, a large swap I mean and zram. I use the swap size given by the flashable zip on Pengus' CM10 and zram disabled. I'll try to set 10% now to test :)

[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I'm feeling patient so lemme answer you.

The recent BT issues were caused by the new toolchains that JB roms are using, particularly GCC 4.7 and 4.8.

If you want BT to work, you just need a ROM that is on 4.6. I'm using Tonyp's T-build 05 (GCC 4.6), and BT is said to work as expected. BT is working as expected for all stock rom-based roms as well (DMX, Jishnu Sur's roms).

So to reiterate, BT is a rom issue, not a kernel one.

You're welcome.
