Had another reboot. Sleeping, got what I think were 2 notifications at almost then exact sane time, cut the second notice off with the reboot.

http://db.tt/lxitiKLZ

The last_log from it. It ran perfect for 12 hours or so, gotten quite a few notifications all night, then this morning, reboot. It may only happen on more then one at once. Still on UKB ROM.

[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Re: [Kernel] [Linaro] [Linux 3.4.31] Version 1.0.7 / Bluetooth test 1.1.7 - Feb 15

Are you still running stock speed and voltages?

The crash was because the kernel detected two bits of L2 memory were corrupted (it can only correct a single bit error). The kernel interact with the L2 cache other than setting up its frequencies.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I built a version of 1.0.7 with the overclocking commits removed. If you want to give it a whirl, I would be curious to know if that ends up being your problem or not:

Faux's app
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I suspect that faux's app is showing something wonky. I see the same 128MHz when I open his app but looking into the /sys view of the GPU it shows me that it is using ondemand, currently at 325MHz with a max of 450MHz. If I stress the GPU, then the current clock rate goes up to 450MHz as expected.

Ok after a few days running this and now getting a full system failure ,,, process system not responding , so wiped caches data , and even reflashed the entire Rom . Its happened now 2 days in a row , going back to last kernel .. until next update at least . Thanks .
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Try another kernel or use system tuner and tone down the overclock?
[HTC Droid DNA] cbrown245:
Not over clocked and on powersave , and I switched back to 2.6 . Just letting CP know of the bug and see if I'm the only one .
[HTC Droid DNA] flyinj54:
I didn't have any issues on the newest but for me I did notice battery life to not be nearly as good as 2.06. Switched back and having awesome battery life once again. Not sure why. Doesn't seem to have alot of changes in 2.09. My fine just didn't seem to like it
[HTC Droid DNA] cbrown245:
I had awesome battery life on the 2.9 and then after the second day it started crashing , I can't explain it , back on 2.6 and all is good again .

FYI, I am finally starting to see a problem that several people have reported where booting hangs. I'm not sure why I wasn't seeing it before but I'm not seeing about 1 out of 5 boots hang.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything obviously wrong from the logs but I am looking into it.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Sending you a PM on this.
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
Wasn't intellidemand an option for this kernel in the past? Or am I confused?

I swear it used to be available but I haven't noticed it recently.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I removed it because it doesn't play nicely with thermal throttling. There's more information if you search the thread for intellidemand.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hussainally:
So is 2.06 or 2.09 better for battery life?
[HTC Droid DNA] keithce:
2.0.9
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
For those of you (now including me) that have the problem where boots sometimes freeze, I believe that I have found the problem and fixed it. I'm going to try running the fixed kernel today and if all is well post it tonight.

The problem appears to be that, at least during the boot, my kernel is better about doing more work in parallel and faster. This tickles a race condition that exists in at least the 2.04 ROMs. Init starts the servicemanager that manages other services. While it is starting, another service is also started and tries to communicate using binder (android IPC) but this occurs before the servicemanager has registered itself with binder. In this instance, the communication is lost and services do not end up initializing themselves and therefore the system can't boot.

Since making the change, I've rebooted my phone 20 times and seen in the logs 5-6 times that the fix kicked in because of this race condition.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Just wanted to mention that crpalmer has done a crap load of work with chad on AOSP and specifically the kernel side.

When he starts publishing AOSP kernel builds its going to be really nice development that's backed with a pretty intricate knowledge of AOSP's inner workings.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
New kernel released. The most important change is that I believe I've fixed the problem that some people are experiencing where boots sometimes hang. See my previous post for more details about what I think was causing it. The update is:

Version 2.0.15: May 2, 2013: boot hang fix, 3.4.43, CPU frequencies, brightness, misc fixes:

* Linux 3.4.43

* Small fixes from CAF (bluetooth, usb)

* Restore the CPU frequences/voltages from 1.x.y kernels (previously I was using HTC's new tables)

* simple_plug: keep cores online during boot

* use the correct brightness ranges for our display (HTC cut off the lowest brightnesses).

* fix a race condition on boot with the binder kernel services
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
Does anyone notice on the previos kernel prior to this that bluetooth audio (calls, etc) sounded kind of bad? not sure if its this or just the dna sucks at bluetooth audio quality.
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Question on changing kernels: If I install this kernel, I understand it changes the mpdecision,thermald and Bluetooth drivers. If I change to another kernel, will all changes revert, including those drivers?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Crpalmer stated his kernel doesn't change those files mpdecision and thermald.

Beastmode renames them and you can manually delete the .bak extension when you change to another kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
It says on the OP that he uses his own custom drivers. So how are they not changed?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
The initrc script ignores the stock drivers so there's no need to rename them.
[HTC Droid DNA] snowman122:
I don't think its the phone doesn't this phone support apx Bluetooth or something like its like the hq button for YouTube
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I haven't noticed any problems (I stream music for about an hour a day and I typically have about 2 hours a day of calls all on bluetooth). But, there are so many devices, there might be some that have issues. Are you still having back audio quality? If so, can you try a different device?
[HTC Droid DNA] bejahnel:
Has anyone else flashed the latest kernel and noticed it takes almost an hour to go from 99 to 100 percent charged? My phone was down to about 10 percent last night before bed, around 2 and when I got up at 815 it was only at 99 percent and it didn't get to 100 percent until about 5 min ago. I was running the 2.0.9 kernel and since I don't reboot very often I didn't notice any issues with it. Running newts NOS M7 2.0.3 sense 5 ROM.

Also I'm using a HTC wall charger that I usually use, so it's not like a slow charge from a computer or Wireless charger.
[HTC Droid DNA] kierren:
I've noticed the same thing as bejahnel, using the exact same setup. Not really a problem for me, but just thought I would contribute.

I get UNREAL battery life using NOS M7 2.0.3 and this kernel. GSam has me at 1 day 14 hours average battery life over this past week. I've got two friends with the same setup who are getting similar results. Only change I made from default is to use SetCPU to clock 192K-1350K on boot. That and disable all location tracking and reporting in Maps to reduce wakelocks.

Two questions:

- Is there a way to always force fast charge? I've noticed that the way our phone "mounts" the "sd card" on computers doesn't seem to be impacted by fast charge being turned on or off, but my charging time sure does. I've been using the app "Fast Charge" on the market to turn it back on when it gets switched off, if that makes a difference.

- Is there a way to get volume wake to play nicely with NOS M7 2.0.3? It seems like after the screen has been off for more than 10 minutes it will stop working.

Thank you so much crpalmer for making this kernel! Seriously, I don't know what you did to get such amazing battery life, but I'm enjoying it.
[HTC Droid DNA] spinkick:
I am also noticing slow charging on this version
[HTC Droid DNA] CISGS:
Sorry guys but what do I actually download? I am on Beast right now and my battery lasts like 5 hours.
[HTC Droid DNA] bejahnel:
Yea it's not so much a big deal, just a little annoying. I don't think I have any issues with volume wake though. What did you all disable for location tracking and reporting? I've noticed that Maps does take up some of my battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
http://d-h.st/jBx

It's where the version numbers are in the changelog they are hyperlinks

The soon to be released Ecliptic DNA rom and this latest kernel is making for some insane battery life. Especially for such a full featured sense rom overclocked and so snappy.
[HTC Droid DNA] CISGS:
Thanks man. I am S-Off so can I just boot to recovery and flash it?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Yes correct, a few tips, if you're using a CPU control app already and it's setting a configuration on boot, I recommend going to settings/apps and clearing the app data. Then wipe cache and dalvic cache and flash the kernel.

You can flash without clearing caches, I clear them and crpalmer mentioned that he's started clearing the caches on install since the update to 2.04 based kernels. It only add a minute or so to the process.
[HTC Droid DNA] CISGS:
Thank you guys. Just flashed. Amazing how much more memory I have available right now on startup. Something was messing up when I was using beast.

I had about 670-700 MB available. Now 998. Could've been due to Sense 5 background running since I started up and defaulted to GT Launcher now.

[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
Thanks for an incredible kernel! I've been on stock ever since I got my DNA way back in December, and I have been missing out. I do have one question if you don't mind me asking - is the overclocking built into the kernel, or do I need an app to set the levels? Looking at a CPU frequency monitoring app (CPU Spy Plus), 192 MHz, 1674 MHz, and 1728 MHz are listed as "Unused CPU states." According to the app, the lowest I go is 384 and the highest is 1512.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I left the defaults at stock voltages and I use setcpu to set the min to 192 on boot.

Maps -> Settings -> Location settings ->

Location reporting - Do not update your location

Un-check every other box on this screen

System settings -> Location ->

Only check E911 and Goggle Location Services (turning this off bums out weather and some other stuff I like)

Use the EQS to enable GPS before you navigate and disable when you're done

This has brought my Maps wakelocks from about 1000 a day to 100.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
I still want my location tracking though like Google now, maps, some other random apps I use, and all the weather stuff. Wouldn't doing that cause some programs to stop getting those location updates?
[HTC Droid DNA] kierren:
These settings will definitely stop location tracking since the original question was how to disable location tracking :P I thiiink that with the settings I posted if an app like Weather wants to update, and needs to know where you are, that it can still pull your approximate location based off cell towers. At least, that's how it seems to function for me... I haven't had an app complain about not being able to get a location like it does if you un-check Google Location Services.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I know Google location services being checked allows most apps that need location like weather widgets to work fine.

Bumping up the sampling time in the on-demand settings has helped my battery life, will post note after more cycles.

Any report yet? Always curious how to squeeze more battery life.
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
I've been noticing that when underclocking, cpu0 recognizes the limit, but the other 3 do not. For example. I am 192/1.35 right now using system tuner, and I even tried no frills cpu, and only one of the cores underclocks. The rest still go up to 1.51. Am I doing it wrong? Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I can reproduce the same behaviour with System Tuner. I only use SetCPU for changing the frequencies. I would suggest using that instead.

This mornoing, I tried to implement a kernel fix to force all the cores to be the same and it worked really well aside from the fact that it mysteriously kills my Quadrant scores. I'll try again later to do that as this has been a reoccurring problem with pretty much every CPU tuning tool except for SetCPU but for now try using it instead.
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Thank you, sir. If its been stated before, sorry, but I can save you some time and test several apps next release if youd like.

What do you recommend as a voltage control? Setcpu works excellent for cpu, btw.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I use system tuner for voltage control. Although the next version will be undervolted if you happen to be binned "fast"...

Are you planning on making a kernel compatible with cm10.1?

Wishful thinking I suppose ;) it screams as it is
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I've spent a bit of time trying to unify the code for the CM10.1 kernel and the pre 4.2.2 verizon. I don't think it's going to be very easy to do so (the display driver is too different and the change of bluetooth stack from bluez to bluedroid requires different driver configuration within the kernel).

I hope to eventually run CM10.1 as my daily driver. When I do, I will start releasing kernels for it because that's what I'll be using. I'll probably continue to release "caveat emptor" versions of the verizon based kernel (aka, I won't be testing it, just building it). But that's just all a guess until we get there...
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Version 2.0.20: May 12, 2013: Lightsensor, 3.4.44, undervolt for "fast":

* Update to Linux 3.4.44

* Undervolted for devices binned "fast" by -100mV.

* CAF fix for cpufreq driver.

[HTC Droid DNA] nimrodsv:
What about "faster" devices, are they getting UV too?
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
It should be enabled by default in the kernel. What are you doing that makes you think it isn't working?
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
I undervolted fast because that's what my phone is. Previously I was using System Tuner to undervolt and it's been running stably enough at these voltages for long enough that I felt comfortable making them the defaults. For other bins, I'm not as comfortable and I didn't want to start causing problems for people when they can still just use something like System Tuner to do their own undervolting.
[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
Question regarding the new lightsensor table: Does it just make it more granular or does it decrease the brightness as well? After installing this kernel I found the brightness dimmed quite a bit (to the point that it was very difficult to see.) Just curious if that is to be expected. I'm not using any custom auto-brightness settings.
