Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

I've been using the kernel with Hackfest since yesterday. While I can say that its definitely the smoothest my G2X has ever been, there's also a pretty noticeable battery drain. Like, I lose 20% in an hour of it just being asleep in my pocket. I really like the added smoothness, but I won't be able to make it through even a day at work like that. So I'll be reverting back to whatever came preinstalled in hackfest for the time being.

It seems nobody else is have such significant battery drain though, so I wonder if its just a problem on my end?

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

Isn't battery drain an issue with all hackfest ROMs?

Sure you don't have a rogue app?

On cm7 anyways, my battery life has greatly approved.

The soft touch buttons bug on miui is worse. They will randomly turn off and cause screen lag rendering the phone useless. Have to change brightness again to turn them off.

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

Before installing the kernel I was getting 15 hours off charge easily. I always turn off mobile data when I'm not using it and have been using my phone mainly for texts and looking up the odd thing on Google.

I barely have any apps installed and I'm pretty sure none of them are doing anything in the background.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
I think I got this fixed...try this one : http://d-h.st/pY6

I've been on this kernel since 10am yesterday, granted its my 3500mah battery, but even that would rarely hit the 24 he mark. The rate I'm going, I'm definitely going to hit the 48hr mark.

Amazing, simply amazing.

Curious if morfic or harsh are going to let you tweak theirs, or if you'd even be interested if given permission?

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

Not all Trinity kernels borrow 25mb ram from gpu. Just elpmax.

Reason I inquire, is not all phones like faux kernels, and vice versa. I am fortunate enough to have a g2x that favors both. My previous g2x only would handle faux.

So if the option arose to revive Trinity or harsh, it would have benefits to those that don't agree with faux based, which this is.

Man our g2x can be a fickle, fickle *****. Lol

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

I have to agree. Reading through these forums I really get a feel for the differences our phones have especially when flashing kernels. Im lucky my phone isnt too picky, but ive heard time and again people saying the kernel they flashed just doesnt work, or overheats the phone and/or kills battery. Ive found that faux and Mazouts works best,for me, but ive only tested on one rom for going on....three days. Really really stable reborn pheonix.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] m3mb3rsh1p:
Funny you brought this battery issue up because I'm waiting on a new battery that I hope will heal my battery life woes. Incidentally, I had some flashing issues today that seem to be tied to the battery or heat so I'll be paying attention to this. Thanks for the tip.

*Update*

Okay, I just confirmed by testing some usually-successful ROM installs and you are absolutely right about using a fully charged battery to flash. I wouldn't have guessed it mattered!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
From Morfic to this kernel the path needs to go through faux. This is because of difference in the other piece (name escapes me here) of the kernel. The way Maz does is using that piece from the installed kernel so issues are expected.

Flash faux, then flash Maz and you should not have any issues, or you could do what I did, i.e. build your own based on Morfic's source.

First, if you never flashed at 100% it's possible you have a corrupt install that will rear it's ugly head periodically.

Second, you tell me you have to wipe cache at every boot, AND also the phone is running flawlessly? Well, which is it??? :confused:

I suggest you:

1. charge to 100%,

2. boot into Recovery,

3. clear Dalvik and cache,

4. fix permissions,

5. turn off phone

6. pull battery

7. insert battery

8. boot phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
I doubt it never had a random issue in the two years owning this phone not flashing it at 100% nor seen any developer mention it in their post. Yeah I said if I'm using Morfic's kernel the phone runs fine its using the RC2 of this kernel that was requiring me to wipe cache partition every power cycle. I just deleted the second ROM and went back to CM10 hack fest phone never ran well with CM7 and the hackfest RC2 kernel hasn't given me an issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Freakthis08:
For myself, the only time i'm at 100% battery and/or charging is when I'm doing a new flash of a ROM/Kernel + any extras. If it's just a kernel I just make sure my battery is at above 80% as I've learned that going into recovery and flashing any kernel or anything that involves wiping the Dalvik cache will take a minimum of ~13min to get through the boot process to see my home screen and uses about 15% of my battery and I want to stay above 15%. I also Check MD5s when I download anything and after I move whatever I've downloaded to my sd card so I know my DLs are good.

One of my posts not too long ago for the RC1 release I flashed in the morning and I was just F-ing up and didn't wipe my dalvik so I had some problems. So for me it's best to flash at night when I know I won't be getting any calls and hopefully no important texts. Also at night I'll typically be distracted from my phone playing a video game or watching a movie/TV show so I wont notice if I don't touch my phone for a half hour or so so it wont matter if I wipe my caches and fix my permissions cause the time is not important.

More so on topic with Maz's kernel the SOD while is not a common occurrence still happens at least every other day. Maybe once a day (Happened this morning woke up with my phone on my floor plugged in and when i went to turn it on it wouldn't. Did a battery pull and turned it on battery was at ~55%.) I also upped my VM heap size from 32m to 48m and I have noticed a major improvement in smoothness. I hardly have any lag any more jumping from application to application. Note: that I don't really play games on my phone and I only run small - medium size apps on my phone (largest being Facebook... Skype if it worked...) I've been running like this for about 2-3 days and I would recommend trying out that setting and reporting back if it has helped. Lastly, I also noticed an improvement using fast reboot app and having "lock home in memory" as Fast Reboot does what it does and then my launcher is already back up instantly without a hiccup. I want to test "Lock messaging app in memory" but as I use Handcent as my default messaging app and not stock CM7 messaging app I'm not sure if it would work and have been to lazy to actually test it out.

Using CM7 03-01-2013 with RC2

[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
I did some testing around with the rom and latest kernel and found that compcache/swap is causing my boot loops. My first time around I decided to completely wipe everything, installed a completely new Rom with the new kernel and it had worked fine. I even used goBackupPro to reinstall everything and it was fine but the moment I went into cyanogenmod settings to enable compcache(26% for me) and rebooted, it went into a boot loop. I went back in and disabled it and it was able to boot fine again. Curious as to if this was related to swap as well, I pulled up ramexpander and told it to create a 128mb Swap with 40 swappiness and behold I have a boot looping problem again. Otherwise if I have both swap and compcache disabled I can use it just fine.

Hey Maz, you mentioned once before that a memory release problem was the source of my Bluetooth issues... any chance you can share which file(s) I should look at?

Maz's kernels get the best battery life!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] n30wav3:
I just switched to Trinity elp for few days and it hit me, there was something fundamentally different between Trinity and faux's kernel as faux always had SODs (depending on how much multitasking you do) as compared to Trinity which never had any SOD ever in any version. So SODs on Mazo's kernel isn't Mazo's fault to start with. What I have found out practically is SODs on faux/mazo's kernel occur when CPU has to do a specific kind of multitasking/processing when the screen is off. Could well be because of the fundamentals in faux, e.g. CPU 0 getting offline or voltage to speed ratio etc.... this makes me wonder if Mazo had started from Trinity ELP mainly (06022012) the most stable and having best battery to performance ratio in Trinities, he would have taken it to another level.

Exact opposite for me. Trinity gave me constant SOD, Faux and Maz almost never.

Background Data

Hey Maz, I'd really appreciate if you'd help me with an answer.

I like that GB lets me turn off background data, This saves loads of battery life, improves performance, and protects my privacy. But JB and ICS don't let me turn it off. There is "Restrict Background Data" but that doesn't really seem to work.

Maz, you're the expert so I'm asking you - what is the deal with background data and ROMs after GB?

Why can it not be disabled? Can a JB/ICS ROM or kernel be customized to allow it to be disabled?

Thank You!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
These kernel devs often overclock different parts of the p999 to achieve better results. If your RAM is "cheaper", overclocking it would reduce the device stability, same for the GPU, the different peripherals or the CPU itself.

I'm not overclocking anything, only using better memory management. That's how you make a good "universal" kernel...or almost :p

Re: [KERNEL][CM7/9] Custom Gingerbread kernel (Faux kernel revived!) [2.6.32-60][V.01

Universal. I like that.

I was told along time ago that this Chipset would only allow performance or powersave, and it never made sense to me why it wouldn't handle others, something I think about limitations on LGs part.

But in the true governor sense, performance is supposed to lock in Max frequency, as powersave is to lock in lowest.

Now I've found this to be true with other Tegra2 devices that also support and list other governors, but not this device.

I would love to see you crack this.

Use setcpu or similar app and set a profile to under clock while it's charging. I've always found faux's kernel had problems with charging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
I must admit I had a doubt for a moment...that the kernel would override the default setting and go back to PERFORMANCE. So I did a quick test, removed every CPU governors from the source code except SMARTASSv2 and it actually booted, so this kernel does support any governor on boot.

I think you can't change the governor after the phone booted on gingerbread. I can backport this feature inside the kernel, but I would probably need to work with a ROM developer to backport this feature in the ROM code as well (as I don't have time at all to begin a new ROM based on 2.3.7 for now). Same for the bluetooth call bug.

I thought I fixed that already ?! Seems like some ROMs are less cooperative concerning this.

I would need a logcat taken overnight...using a function like logcat > sdcard/logcat.txt in the terminal emulator..Yet, I think doing this will keep the phone awake and it will not BSOD.

http://pastebin.com/95HTfJDD here's a logcat. Basically this is the problem, in miui you can move the brightness through a scrolling bar when I set the bar to the lowest setting the touch buttons turn off and the screen can no longer scroll as smoothly. It takes a good two second swipe to move the screen. This only happens with the lights being off. Nothing force closes or anything. The phone just becomes irresponsive to touch. I know ncylite knows the issue ill contact him and ask.

Edit: Thanks to Nycelite the problem is with a bug in the ram disk. He said that in order to fix it I can flash the Trinity kernel then harsh kernel. To fix it permanatley would be to use the trinity ram disk and use your kernel and create a boot.img It should be good.

I'll try and see if I can do this myself lol Update: You seem to have done your kernel differently and I have no idea how to do this as it is lol Ill just see if you can fix it. I know there has been a lot of pressure on you so no hurry. You're awesome man. Thank you for everything. If you're still on the forums after i graduate college, expect a donation :)
