I am using the OC kernel with Temasek 135.4. I do have "Keep awake while charging" enabled. No problems at all. In fact I just realized that I hadn't rebooted in a long time, so I checked. Over 10 days now - and counting! Running real smooth and battery life is at least as good as the best from Morfic and Faux. In fact, whatever magic you do keeps my battery from showing its age. It's nearing 2 years old and I get 5-6 hours of screen time (mostly WiFi web browsing). I do usually have it at 816MHz but I'll bump it to 1100 or 1200MHz to play an HD movie out the HDMI...

Pretty darn good stuff!!!

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

I think I have a bug to report.

I've tried everything I can think of, including complete wipes and fresh installs. Removed all build.prop mods such as battery saving tweaks etc.

I cannot get wifi to stay connected when the phone sleeps, literally 1-2 mins after screen goes off, wifi will disconnect. I have sleep option set to "never" for advanced wifi settings.

Basically no settings are different than when I was running v0205OC and the issue was not there. I rely heavily on Wifi calling at home and is how I noticed the issue with v0218OC.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Any suggestions on how to stop it?

Mazout, should I snag you a log?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Darkknight512:
I don't think I have this issue. Maybe it is localized to your specific rom? Maybe the fixes he did are affecting people differently. My phone will stay connected to Wifi all night, wake up in the morning and emails synced and everything. I also know the wifi is working with the screen off because I get facebook notifications at the same time my computer does.

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

I'm running CM7 2-1-13 build.

When I flash back to v0205, wifi will never sleep and works as it should.

I am wondering if this in v0218 may be the culprit, Mazout stated in his changes:

" - Backported WIFI drivers and hostAP support from jellybean (V30A): Yeah! A better wifi driver :p It connects and disconnects fast and worked very well during my testing. My only concern is power management. If you have heavy battery drain consider turning wifi off, you have been warned. This should fix many issues that came with the GB version of this driver as well."

I wonder if the driver is conflicting with CM7 since it's a backport from CM10?

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

Probably local issue.. cuz I always keep my wifi on whenever m in my home. Its working fine... try the non oc version

As for me the only thing I have noticed with the overclocked kernels is the bsod on both 205oc and 218oc .... I know ppl r not having this problem and I bet there is some compatibility issue with the apps I use... but the thing is I cannot stop using those apps... so m using the non-oc for now...

one more thing ... it maybe a placebo effect or not but I think 218 has more battery consumption than 205... cuz in my minimal to normal use m only getting 4 to 5 hours of battery with data on 218 whereas 205 used to give me approximately 7 to 9 hours

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Oh sorry, I never really tried the hackfest so I didn't know the video camera doesn't work. I guess this won't work without HWA.

There's nothing ROM- or android-specific in those drivers...the CM10 wifi driver is simply some versions ahead. I could still reimplement the same sleep function as with the older driver to see if it fixes your issue.

I'll see what I can do, but I don't know yet if it would work in this kernel. The video drivers are really outdated.

I'm moving to Montreal this week, so I'm being quite busy. Excuse my...hum...lack of updates. I'll get myself an unlimited bandwidth internet connection and start making more weeklies (eww I should call them monthlies now :/) and update this kernel as soon as possible.

On 0218 i was using WakeLock on WifiFull and it keeps it awake with same battery drain as if it were keeping itself awake.

I'm going to try a couple things because no one else is having the issue.

I went to sleep on 0205 and woke up, Wifi and Wifi calling were still up and active, so I don't think it's anything with my setup, but I'll keep digging.

an update on lulzactive/smartassv2 and cm7

compiled a kernel off your sources with just smartass and lulz, removed all other governors, booted up, did fresh installs off setcpu/cpumaster pro and they still list performance /powersave only.

i recall you said that you built one with just smartassv2 and it worked, question is, did you try it on cm7 and did the oc app display smartassv2?

also tried init.d script to kick lulz on to no avail.

* #!/system/bin/sh

# Set CPU Governor during init on G2X, may override the bug where it will not show more

#then 2 governors in CM7 preventing their use if not in the first 2 slots

echo "lulzactive" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

echo "lulzactive" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Sorry I've been very busy lately...

Yes I do. This kernel version seems to have a mach-tegra specific CPU Frequency driver which overrides the default linux driver, so that might explain why smartass and lulzactive are not used even though they are enabled in defconfig and shows up in the kmsg. I will try to get this to work soon.

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

205 IMO, but I had to go back to Faux054.

I can't get wifi to stay awake no matter the settings, using a wifi wakelock resulted in the phone randomly hanging and have to battery pull.

Wifi absolutely has to stay awake for me at home, this was a deal breaker for me.

I believe you said you did not habe that issue yourself. I couldn't take not knowing if the phone was still connected or not anymore so went back to tested and true in the meantime till I figure it out.

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

Yeah.... wifi drop is extremely rare for me. So rare that I dun think its a kernel issue. Although there is one issue where wifi just disconnects and never comes back... I had to reinstall ram/kernel after that. Happened twice when I was putting load and switching between data/wifi and screen turning off due to proximity sensor etc..Have u tested wifi without any of the background apps installed... meaning fresh install... also u know what. Try assigning a manual IP and everything to ur phone (from phone not through wifi router) its working for me pretty well. I haven't noticed permanent disconnection since I have done this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

The only thing I have not done is a static IP in the phone itself.

Ran Faux54 all night, Wifi stayed connected all night.

I did do a fresh setup when I bailed on 218OC/no ksm versions and went back to 205OC, than the issue started happening with 205 on a fresh setup! Wth? So went back to faux and the issue went away.

Very odd. Very odd indeed, I'm going to give 205OC another try this weekend and revert back to CM7 2/1/13 build.

The only thing thays changed when using 205 is the rom build, been using 3/1/13 build, but the same issue was there and started on 218OC on 2/1/13 build as well.

The only thing that stops it now is using Faux or even Trinity.

I 3x wipe cache, dalvik, data/factory reset, and system.

Flash ROM, kernel, new baseband fix, gapps, fix permissions and reboot.

Seems like theres something in there maybe not getting wiped.

Gotta get back to work.

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

Well... try static IP as I did when u flash mazo's kernel.... if its happening on a clean setup then its confirm its not an app... also u said u r formatting system so I dun think anything related could be left when u wipe it...... try the static IP and let me know. One more thing, have u tried any other wifi router somewhere? This might be related to the type of router u have. Maybe mazo's kernel has something missing that's why I had to assign static IP and u r getting it dropped on wifi.

Btw. Where do u find the 218 no KSM OC version? I could only find the Non-OC NonKSM

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

I'll give it a shot, but if that is what fixes it, than I'll have to stay on Faux/Trinity.

I don't want to have to remember to turn static off, I use too many wireless hotspots to have to turn it off everytime I leave home, everywhere I go has hotspots.

Its alright, but max speed is 5MB!

EDIT: I am off tomorrow, so I am going to use the nullification tool and hardcore wipe and do a fresh setup with 205OC. 205 ran perfect. When I switched to 218, that's when my wifi woes began. No one else is having this experience so it obviously has to be something I am doing, but for the life of me I don't know what that is! :banghead:

Used to be with videotron, now going with distributel... I kept busting my bandwidth limit in the past months by syncing Android sources XD Yet still no connection before Wednesday (supposedly)

Okay now back on topic, I fixed a little bug with the 0218 new wifi driver which should bring back the original battery life and stability (hopefully) but before I release any new update I'd like to pinpoint the haptic feedback bug's origin. I do have some haptic feedback but I lose it from time to time also so if anybody noticed any specific action that would kill (or maybe reenable) the haptic feedback please share.

Been working on getting HWA in the GB kernel too, but that won't be easy at all...no news yet concerning this project
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cguilford:
I've noticed it as well, NORMALLY a reboot will fix it, but it's not just haptic feedback, it's very sporadic but when my phone is set to vibrate, for like text/email notification it also stops working, IE when I get a new text the notification works, but the "vibrate" portion doesn't but if I restart haptic and vibrate starts working again.

M confused... how's my wifi working then.... anyway.... ill test when u release the new one.... for now mazo.... I wanna ask one thing I have noticed...the battery timing with wifi on 205 is less than 218 even when left idle for sometime long whereas it gives more battery on 205 on data as compared to 218... any thoughts on that? I have tested this an entire week as on my job I use data and at home i use wifi...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
With 0218 I think the wifi kept scanning for networks in the background, which is why you had poor battery life. I got another version set up yesterday (with ROW I/O scheduler working, yay!) and It still shows 100% battery after an hour with/without wifi, so these battery "drains" are fixed now.

Got a little bug to fix up before anything is released though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] n30wav3:
Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel [2.6.32-60][V.0218]

That's great. But ur answer is opposite to what I am having. right now with 205 I'm on job data turned on with normal use. I still have 44% of battery left with 6h 11m already which is awesome as far as data is concerned as HSPA+ drains more battery than wifi. But when ill get back home and use Wifi. Ill get comparatively similar or less battery timing. On the contrary with 218 I get about 12 hours+ battery with Wifi, Sync On and only 6+ something with Data....

I would love if u can take a bit comparing the new baby's battery timing on data with 205. Cuz I think u r very close in nailing it

Thanks Alot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
I left XDA for a month and all the development for this phone died ?

This is sad...this phone is somewhat old but it still is fast, unbrickable and supports recent apps/functions...This JB radio issue killed this device but I think gingerbread builds can be snappy and smooth too, even though they are outdated.

Let me prove my point...

This new kernel build aims at fixing IO-related lag with GB builds, and I think I nailed it down. Here's the changelog :

Adjusted KSM for battery saving - KSM starts scanning too often, so this kills battery faster and uses more CPU. This has been fixed.

Disabled WIFI ISCAN for battery saving

Fast random number generator - Linux kernels has a built-in random number generator (remember the entropy seeder BS thing?), and this one is much faster. I don't know if it'll make any difference but hey, it's faster :p

Updated ROW I/O Scheduler, fixed it and enabled by default - Finally! That was an important todo...This scheduler aims at raising memory read speeds over write speeds. This means everything loads faster! Consequences : Boot time after dalvik cache wipe is very long because the android system has to rewrite it.

Battery overheat protection patch by wkpark - I didn't have any BSODs, but in case someone gets one, this will prevent the phone from overheating while charging.

Backported support for android lowmemorykiller 3.4 - This took a while to do, and many betas/full wipes. Finally got a stable build.

Backported Lowmemorykiller 3.4 (original work by Vork for 3.0.y-based P999 kernels) - This works with >2.6.39-based kernels (like the one for jellybean) but not on this old kernel. Well, until now. This is the driver responsible for killing apps depending on their priority to save memory when the system doesn't have enough left. Consequences : Integrating this sometimes causes a sleep request when the phone boots, so the screen turns off without any reasons. Give it about 4-5 seconds and turn it back on, everything should be loaded correctly.

Updated linux OOM killer to 3.0 - Required >2.6.39 OOM killer for LMK 3.4

Reenabled FULL OVERCLOCKING support from faux123 - Including RAM OC and Peripherals boost (such as GPU OC)

This is, I think, the best settings and updates for a very fast (yet outdated) GB kernel. I could make it even faster using the dynamic fsync controller by faux123, which syncs files on the internal memory only when the screen is off (thus, the phone has IO lag when the screen is off, which doesn't matter for the user) but it caused issues when installing apps/restoring Titanium Backups and therefore is only for advanced users (to know when to switch on when required and off when it's not).

Hackfest and overclocked builds are untested, but should work as nothing version-specific has been changed.

I am setting my ROM building environment back up, so I'll make a new weekly CM10.1 and maybe ubuntu if there's a demand for it.

@Justjackyl - Try http://goo.im/devs/Mazout360/KernelP999/Mazkrnl_0323GBnoDS.zip for your wifi. It should not go to sleep even with screen off.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
I had many ideas, and as long as there will be users within this forum, I will try to keep this kernel updated.

Some of them includes :

- Kernel-based gestures support (for example, screen off by tapping with three fingers on the screen twice. Might cause issues if apps also requires such gestures)

- Sweep2wake porting (this will be a long job though and since most of you prefer battery life over new functions I guess this is not worth it)

- Fixing kernel-related issues (report them please!)

- Fixing bluetooth call bug on the new baseband (requires the participation of a ROM dev, since this is a ROM issue)

- Keeping this kernel updated with the newest android features

- Getting rid of BSODs --ONCE AND FOR ALL--

- Getting better battery life (Maybe a custom Mazkrnl app for controlling drivers and overclocking ?)

- My own LED controller driver, for animated notification LEDs without altering battery life

And I'm always open for suggestions!
