[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Did I just read 'kexec'? Wang got kexec working properly on our phone? If true he's got some great talent.. I have been playing with kexec for quite some time now.. I have the devtree meant for our device but things with kexec and our phone is really crazy..

Getting to the important point, if any of you intend on doing anything with kexec, make sure you make a backup of cid.. in terminal emulator or adb shell type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p19 of=/sdcard/cid.img

You can also use bmm.

Goto recovery, firmware flashing, backup cid.

Why do I say this? I have been trying things for some time now regarding kexec.. it sometimes erases the cid partition.. (note its random and I have no idea why. One thought is that devtree isn't proper.. or maybe we just need to use the right cmdline while compiling the kernel..)

Cid is customer id. Its unique for your particular phone.. like the imei.. be careful and don't do anything you are not sure of.. I will also post this in the cm10.1 thread hankbizzo opened..

And yes, bmm supports kexec and it works absolutely fine.. no issues..

EDIT: As expected, kexec files are in/system/bootmenu/2nd-boot. Moved to the right place and tried with bmm.. well, once the modules are loaded and kexec executed, bmm loses where the system files are.. but then again, whirleyes says 2nd boot is WIP.. so no option as of now.. I will try editing the ramdisk tomorrow.. hope things work.. now off to installing by bootstrap..

EDIT2: Forgot to rename the kernel. So it works k with bmm..
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Well, I wouldn't say properly yet.. But looks like he's got a great start.

Thanks for the cid note.. but, I thought that was only a concern when flashing kernels from different regions.. (?)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Well, its not particularly cid.. comparing a2 and RAZR, the only differences (at least of what I know of) are that the way radio is used, and the partitions.. in the RAZR, mmcblk1p14 is the boot partition, while it is p15 in ours.. p15 is recovery for them while recovery is on p16 for us and system for us is on p21 while it is on p20 for them so on.. cid for them is on p18 and for us it is p19. p19 on RAZR should be kpanic.. maybe this partition is used by kexec to store data. Now if we use a kernel written with RAZR config, data that was written on p19(should have been kpanic) happens to be cid for us. And that messes things up.. now, any change to cid is quite bluntly visible.. it shows up on boot screen.. other things get hidden.. this is just my guess. Since no one has complained about cid and not booting up stuff on cm10.1 thread, I believe wang has made the necessary changes.. I was using the cm10.1 written by hashcode and dhacker without any changes, except for devtree.. so maybe that's why my cid was getting messed up.. so as long as ppl just use wangs rom with his kernel, it should be fine I guess..
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Actually I met a black screen on all of my attempts flashing the kexec cm10.1.. And I am pretty certain that the boot.img is not flashed, it's just part of the compile process - everything is in the bootmenu/2nd-boot directory.. They must just be run/accessed from there (?)

He may have missed something with the CPU clock settings, since the RAZR is at 1200 with one more slot.. if that's the case that only people on stock 1200 can flash it.

But, fun stuff.. We got some good things coming to our phone (long overdue) - but still a lot of work to do. I hope more people get involved..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Yes, you are right.. Boot.img is just a part of the comoile process..The boot.img in the zip is just kind of a byproduct.. It was never meant to be flashed.. Maybe it will just help if you want to cook a ROM in dsixda's kitchen and use the boot tools. Well, its pretty much the same here.. I try 50 times and kexec works properly 2 times.. Its the same thing if you try with the RAZR kexec test cm10.1. Of course the bootcmdline difference plays in..

Well, if you are using the standard cyanogen boot menu this was with, then yes it is supposed to use kexec from 2nd-boot folder. If want to use it with bmm or ss, just put all files from there into etc/kexec. And don't forget to rename the zImage to kernel.

The whole reason we have all the trouble about the multiple boot screens and other things is that hashcode and dhacker and others in the STS-dev-team who did most of the work on these, made their ROMs to work with ss.. Kinda hardcoded a little.. But we don't have ss and bmm support(or at least at the time..).. So what Wang and other devs did was make it work with the good old boot menu that had its origins with the defy(not sure but mostly..). Now this bmm is not completely compatible or its just kinda old.. So the multiple boot screens.

And, no Wang has missed absolutely nothing and nothing here is related to the CPU stock speed.. I initially had the regular 1 GHz a2.. Screwed it when trying to crack boot loader.. Sent to repair, well it came back with the 1.2 GHz processor and new Zealand firmware(that's another story).. I have tried kexec on both.. It works on both..

Its just kexec has issues with our phone.. And we need to work on it.. I do remember Jim saying that this and kexec have some issues.. Or some thing that gave such meaning..

Now, I am not professional or have sufficient knowledge on these.. But I can do things.. I don't have some of the necessary resources though (internet and time, I use phone GPRS and get only about 2GB a month.. Downloading 6-8 GB is kinda insane.. And I have quite a lot of exams.. Things will get bit better after April 23 for me..) If you have time, we can might (and hopeto) be able to do a few things..

Another thing we can try is, create a group (already present maybe), collect donations and request someone like hashcode or some one else and give them the donations.. Also, I have seen in the unlock bounty thread that ppl have moved to other phones but still have this and are willing to give them away to devs.. I might not be able to give any money, but I can surely help out with testing and feedback..

Yup fun stuff.. And yea we have awesome things coming up (trust me, just too awesome.. Not just android).. We just need to get kexec working right..
[Motorola Atrix 2] amynjimmy:
I'm glad to hear that ppl are still excited about our phone. I know I am here for the long haul let me know what I can do to help.

Atrix 2/ ATT /Bmm

1. Stock 4.0.4

2. Miui

3. PA 310 4.2.2

4. CMPA 4.1.2
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Again, thanks for the clarification.. But my turn..

Yes, it is a version of the cyanogen-defy bootmenu. I am using basically the same in my builds. And the reason for the multiple reboots is because of a "temporary" hack/fix to make it work more safely. See here: https://github.com/CyanogenDefy/and...mmit/6db291d2efa38b2cfeba477a572d91e8f72251d9

And yes, I spoke with wanggjg.. I know it's not the CPU speeds now.

Also, no need to offer people money to get this to work better on our phone... That's like paying someone to do your homework for you - what would you learn then? We will get things straightened out for our phone.. It will just take time and some dedicated individuals.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
The journey is more thrilling than the destination.. Agree with you.. Let's do this.. :cool: If you need any testing, let me know.. I have an international version and is stock clocked at 1.2 GHz on ICS..

look at it now see what i can do with : p

i not have the one x at the mins
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
Very good what htc can do on their phones, but i think that they are going in the wrong direction making these very heavy UIs. With sense 4+ i never had more than 350mb of free ram, and it is quite slow however. They should concentrate more on system optimization. At the moment my friends' gs2 can run almost every game with higer fps than my one x. When i tryed temple run 2 i was shocked o.O The same with vice city that was a lot faster with ICS
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Would be great if you can port this to one x =) , good for bragging rights lol.

RAM doesn't really have to do much with gaming on HoX or other phones, it's more up to GPU / CPU scaling , hox governors SUCK on ics and they tend to throatle thx to Hamdir we have gaming boost which fixes that anyway JB is much better for this matter in general, however as long as it goes for RAM take for instance s3 , it has even less free ram then hox, it has avarage 100-150 free ram, while hox goes 200-350 , anyway when you get into game and if phone needs more ram for it .. it simply makes it by closing foreground apps ( thats how android works ) si theoreticly it's all about governor settings / drivers/ cpu / gpu optimisation.

Anyway with Trips latest kernel gaming just went form normal to high definition , and it's just the start, we still don't have the kernel source so devs can make hell outta it, hopefully we will get it soon so Devs can show us their magic once again =)
[HTC One X] DiederikC:
very nice!
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
i know that the ram is not slowing down games, but it was to demonstrate how heavy is the UI. I think that no other brand have such a heavy interface. And this is visible when you scroll in the homescreen, when you open settings ecc. There are many things that we son't need, for example the effects in settings, the cube that they fortunately removed in jb and others.

However i think that it isn't normal that i have to void my warranty to see my smartphone run like it should.

And the sad thing is that i run all the games with a lower fps draining the same ammount of battery of my friends gs2 (or a bit less) even if i play in power save :|

When in stores i try a gs3 i love it's smoothness in transitions and effects and it's sad because i like my one x but it doesn't reach that speed
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Well Sense sure is uber heavy system/ launcher , which is why they removed 3d effects in JB , ellastic scrolling in app drawer (also 1 part for removing that elastic scroll is cuz of apple lol , apperently that is their patent) As for touch wiz , yeah that launcher sure is light nearly as stock , i've had touch wiz ported launchers etc and system was much faster then on sense , but the real issue with gaming isn't really sense , you wont see much of a difference even if you play games on aosp , maybe a little bit better , but the real problem is like i said GPU / CPU / scalling and governor settings / drivers optimization sux as well , and as for gameloft games they tend more to optimize it for other companies (snapdragon , mali etc ) then tegra , which is obvious since tegra is in small numbers and ofc they will optimise it better for larger numbers, another thing is there is TONS of devices with different hardware/software/resolution and it's hard for developers to make it work for everyone *perfect* which is why APPLE is the best about gaming just a few devices , similar hardware , similar resolution = easy for devs to make it compatible with all apple devices. Hope this clear some things up. Btw with custom kernels gaming should be much better, with trips kernel gaming already is better and he doesn't even have the source.

Edit - forgot to mention s3 and s2 have alot less pixels to work on then one x, s3 ( 306 ppi ) and s2 (217 ppi + 480x 800 resolution + smaller screen = faster refresh rate ) use pentile amoled screens which use 2 pannels of pixles while hox has 3 pannels of 312 pixels to work on, now imagine this on this way 312ppi on hox x 4.7 inc = 936 pixels , s3 306 ppi = 612 and s2 with lower res and smaller screen 217 = 434 , so hox has literally to work 33% more pixels then s3 and more then 60% from s2 , which explains why sometimes we experience lag in some games, if hox had lower res for instance qHD we would have much better FPS in games then s3 by much , besides HoX runs some games much better then s3 , especially if we take THD games in the matter.
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
well i think that the major problem is the one with optimization, because thd games like dead trigger are more graphic intense of , for example , temple run, but i've never seen 1 single lag on dead trigger
[HTC One X] fizzlington:
Well it is actually co-produced by HTC. There is no branding on the device, although it features HTC camera image chip and Beats music. You can also see remnants of Sense in some videos in the call screen. So while it's not Sense, it was made by HTC to an extent.

As title, everything else is fine but when coming off the net and going to straight to texing, contacts or calls, there's bad lag, I've turned animation off also disabled s voice and stopped quite a few apps running in the background, but still there. For such a so called state of the art quick phone, this carry on badly Let's it down
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
That's because of 1gb ram :(

I thought that would be good, obviously it's not......I know the external ram/memory's better but it's the internal one that counts when operating.....so that's it then, I'm stuck unless I change phones
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
I just tested you scenario on my phone running stock rooted rom ELLA guess it depends on what you mean by a bad lag.

Tried from stock browser to messaging and stock browser to contacts and its almost instant just as long as it take to tap the home button to close the browser and tap the icon to open messaging or contacts, can't actually time.

Tried it from a 3rd party browser the same way and the same results basically tap home to close and tap icon to open app for contacts or messaging.

I have not disabled animations or anything like that, but just wondered if you have anything like virus scanners or app managers running on your phone as they may casue delays.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
Nope no virus scanners ect ect running, and anything I found running I didnt need/want (and it was quite a few) I turned off

When I say in real time, it's about 3-5 seconds, that's going back to the home screen coming from the net, it doesnt matter if I press soft key back button or the hard key in the middle, it's bad either way

These phones are expensive enough
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Just had a look to see how many processes are running in the application manager and there are 17, it isn't something that has bothered me so I have not stopped anything it just does what it does. I can say the process from pressing the home button to close either the stock browser or third party browser is almost instant at any time, its just press then the app is closed, it isn't something I can time but would guess at about half a second, it realy is just press and its closed.

As I mentioned I am running the stock rooted ELLA non branded UK rom and I don't have any lag anywhere, I know this doesn't help you solve the problem of the lag but if you are on the same rom maybe do a foctory reset, clear the cache and dalvik in recovery then set up the phone again.it will be a littile slow for the first day but after that it should run properly, without lag.

Don;t forget to backup contacts etc if you do decide to do this, it may be worth a try.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
How do I tell if I'm on this ella
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
It's either try that or get a diffirent make......this lag's really pissing me off, it's doing it all the time
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Go to Settings > About Phone and see what Android Version, Baseband and Buld number you are on like the below I9300XXELLA is the latest 4.1.2 release for non branded phones, so it should be the same as thins unless you are on a branded version
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
It's 4.1.2 but 19300BWELK1 not ELLA is this what's wrong and causing lag

Can I go on the other one to sure it...if it's oing back and I'll get a diffirent make, I'm not having a £400+ phone and this crap

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Get anything decent with at least 2GB's of ram.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
How much more expensive though...then again I'll have a look

So I'm looking for 2gb ram if I'd known this on Saturday I'd have asked them

What's LTE?....then again, I'll Google it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
LTE means Long-term evolution and implies the use of 4G networking. A lot higher speeds than HSPA+.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
I didnt realise it's the Note 2....it's even bigger than the S3, and I'm just about managing with one with this, It'd be 2 hands with the other one

Is there anyway the S3's ram can be doubled or no
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Yes, kind of. It's called "S3 LTE" and is a different phone from the normal S3. The S3 LTE has the model number i9305 and has similar hardware to the i9300. What differs though is 2GB's of ram and an LTE capable modem chip.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
Ok, but it's a physically bigger phone, and like I say, I'm just managing the size of the S3 with 1 hand, I'd be back to using 2 with the other

Can the S3 be upgraded to 2gb or is that a no no
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
It's a no. You're not getting me, the S3 LTE isn't a bigger phone. Don't confuse the i9305 S3 LTE with the i7105 Note 2 LTE.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu1973:
That's right, the thing is, I'm in the UK, we only get the 1gb not the 2 so I've no chance unless I go to a physicaly bigger phone
