[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonator:
Just like every consumer product from TV to cars, a new model is released every year. If they didn't, the competition would eat them alive.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvi0:
There was a gap of a 2 years though between the s2 and s3,if am not mistaken that's why am wondering. Either way I think it's a bold brave move by Samsung, because the s3, is still miles better than the new HTC one, blackberry and most new devices at present.

No, no, no, no....there was 1 year between s2 and S3....S2 was in beggining of march 2011(i think, correct me if im wrong) and s3 in may 2012, so 14 months....and second, s3 may have more features and better overall experience, but hardware wise, it dissapers...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
Anyways... i will keep my S3 for a bit longer. It makes me happy everyday, so considering that i'm not using it even for 50% of its power, for me one with better cpu, gpu , ram etc is useless. Maybe i will change it around Xmas but then again, in few months after Xmas will be the S5.. so i think most probably i will keep it until S5. :angel:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
I have been a long time user of Titanium Back Up Pro and its been both magical and wonderful all these years and now Koush has pushed out Carbon...

Does anyone have any insights as to why it would be better to move over to Carbon for backup purposes BESIDES SYNC. and besides the sync feature they pretty much both do the same thing or is one app better than the other for any reason.

Just looking for some user feedback on who has used both and which they prefer...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhtfld76:
Haven't tried carbon but I assume there is more compatibility/support from other apps/devs for Titanium. Will have to look into carbon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If Carbon does what it says on the tin, the single most compelling feature is to be able to backup and restore market apps & and data without needing root. That's got to be compelling for folks on devices like the N7 where the least-resistance path to rooting involves wiping the device.

The least attractive feature seems to be that it requires a PC...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Yes i totally forgot about the fact that you do not need to root the device. but when i got my n7 first thing i did was turn it on made sure it worked and from there rooted within the first hour haha

but that is true... for those that dont look into root...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJ87:
Well I'm no expert in this area, so my feedback will be purely based on user experience with no knowledge on how the two work.

Carbon is nicer, cleaner, simpler, and much easier to navigate than TB. I used TB before Carbon came out, but once I used Carbon I stopped using TB.

Just simple feedback from a typical Android user :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I'm gonna try carbon next time I flash anything on my s2 (stock 4.2.2 on my n7 and keeping it that way) but I will do a titanium backup too.

Titanium backup is the best for many reasons and has been for awhile. Something really great would ever be able to replace it.

Can you freeze apps, make individual backups, clear data and caches on carbon?? Batch restore some apps with data, then others without? Would need all these options to compete.....for me anyway.

Gonna check out carbon. Will post my experience when I use it. :)

Sent from my cell phone telephone....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Carbon is more 'user-friendly' than Titanium but has fewer features... also, you don't need root.

But just running it on my (rooted) Nexus 7... there are four apps (out of the 200+ apps I have installed) designated as BACKUP DISALLOWED... (you have to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see this).

They are...

TricksterMod

Argos (a shopping app for the UK catalogue store)

AdAway

ZArchiver

Carbon will not backup these apps... not even the APKs...(aside from the userdata associated with them).

But Titanium will...

Not quite sure why this should be... even Gemini App Manager (

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seasmind.android.gmappmgr&hl=en

) will backup these APKs... and also doesn't require root.

Very puzzling...

I'll be sticking with Titanium. It does what I need it to do. And backs up EVERYTHING!

How to build

If you are going to distribute your builds, please don't build your binaries with the same name (i.e. MiRaGe) and distribute in this thread. I would recommend you to start an alternative thread. Otherwise the problem reports will be too confusing for everyone.

First requirement is an ARM toolchain for cross compiling, i.e. using an X86 computer to generate ARM binary. I use Linaro tool chain for cross compiling like many others since Linaro specifically develops tool chains that produce optimized code for ARM architecture.

Linaro toolchains can be downloaded from Linaro binary page. The Linaro-12.03-gcc-4.6 toolchain is very stable/reliable and I recommend starting the development with this toolchain. After the kernel build is successfully done and tested, you can switch to later versions. The toolchain can also be built from the source code available at Linaro website. Cristpoher83 distributes binary packages built from source and I use his 4.7.4 package. It is very reliable. I don't use the experimental gcc-4.8 based toolchains (as of July 2013) since they don't build reliable kernels for me yet.

The binary Linaro toolchain package needs to be expanded in a certain directory, probably inside the home directory. The source code for kernel is available in my Github repo, You can either download the kernel source as a compressed package or you can git-clone it with the following command (you will need git installed in your Linux computer)

git clone https://github.com/mrg666/android_kernel_shooter.git

The kernel source can again be in a specific home directory.

After the source and toolchain are prepared, copy the configuration file for shooter, arch/arm/configs/shooter_config, as .config to the root of the kernel source and use the following command to build the kernel

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/android-toolchain-eabi_46/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- zImage modules -j6

Replace j6 in the above command according to the number of cpus you have on your computer.

Also set CROSS_COMPILE based on the directory you have expanded the binary toolchain package in your home directory.

I use Xubuntu 13.04 x64 (currently) on my Linux workstation that has a Phenom II X6 CPU (960T unlocked to 6 cores and overclocked to 3.4 GHz), 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HD. The compile time is about 1m32.824s for me using all 6 cores. I have been using Ubuntu since version 10.04 to build Gingerbread, Jellybean, and Linux kernel and updated the OS to each and every new version, all of them worked just fine. There is no magic version of Ubuntu. The build problems arise from the package requirements not the OS version.

The flash package is easy. Just use what I distribute as a template and replace zImage and modules inside the package with your build.

Now that you have source and can build the kernel, you can add all the features you want to the kernel ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
No there is nothing that makes it EvoV specific. It should work with Sprint ROM as well but not tested. Thanks for stopping by.

Re: [KERNEL] MiRaGe - HTC Evo 3D/V ICS/Sense - updated to 3.0.68

Does this work on sense3.6,4.0 or 4.1??
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
I use rooted stock HTC ROM and it is Sense 3.6. The version of Sense shouldn't be problem for the kernel. The custom ROM can be incompatible with a different kernel. If you are running a custom ROM please use the kernel that the ROM developer recommends.
[HTC EVO 3D] MrPandroid:
So, here's a question for you.

Now, when you say "stock" rom, I assume stock RUU ROM? Or are you using one of the ones Jmz had posted, stock rooted? I tried this kernel with Harmonia, which I'm fairly certain is "stock based" but with tweaks/bloatware removed/etc. Wifi broke, which I'm not surprised about after reading about the different drivers and such.

So more or less, what stock ROM are you using with it? I'm curious about giving this a spin.

[HTC EVO 3D] MrPandroid:
That's what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. I'll have to give it a go at some point soon. It seems pretty awesome, and I remember using your stuff back in the day on my OV. (I Think its STILL running your stuff...)

Re: [KERNEL] MiRaGe - HTC Evo 3D/V for HTC ICS ROM - updated to 3.0.68

[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
Thanks for reporting. It is good to know if any other ROM is working or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kippui:
Hey, I used mirage CM7 on the OV for a long time :D.

Did you recently pick it up due to it being $100 at RS? Do you plan on making your own signature CM10 rom some day just like you did with CM7?
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
I had bought it in the Black Friday sale. I was just busy with the kernel until now. And EVO is not like OV. The stock ROM is actually pretty good after rooting and removing some bloat. I use Holo Launcher HD, Holo Locker, Exdialer, and Clock JB from the market to replace some of the Sense nonsense :) Although the current setup with custom kernel is pretty good, as the kernel work getting easier I am not sure what I would do with my development cravings :) So I am planning a CM10 eventually. We'll see but there is Dastin1015's excellent 10.1 anyway.

[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
There is the next test kernel below. This one comes with an updated bluetooth stack from CAF-msm-3.0 kernel. I will be testing bluetooth on the stock ROM. Can you check if it fixes your problem on 4.2? I assume you mean evervolv with 4.2 since bluetooth was okay on WFTN when I tested. I hope we don't break the others while fixing evervolv :)

If my Bluetooth doesn't work when I test, I'll test that one :)

Also, he could be using dirty unicorns, that's what I'm on
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
Let's see if this is a solution. You can pick the same stack from CAF if it fixes evervolv. The good news is that it didn't break the stock ROM. I would assume WFTN is also safe. I wish someone had volunteered to test this on WFTN before I erase my phone again.

I hope it is evervolv.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
Thanks wigginst. I haven't seen anything bluetooth related in the logcat but it is good to know that dirty unicorns is still not working.

I have also tested WFTN. It was working with the original bluetooth stack but it didn't work with the updated stack. It is interesting that stock ICS ROM works with both of them. :good:

I need to decide now if I should keep the updated bluetooth stack or revert to the original one. Please test the latest build and voice your concerns here before I make a final decision. Let's wait two days until Wednesday.
[HTC EVO 3D] junxracr:
Bluetooth not working on latest pacman rom Vm build. Running test kernel. This is the first time I've had a chance to test Bluetooth, so I don't know if it ever worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
Thanks for the report. It seems 4.2 builds are hit or miss depending on their bluetooth stack in the user space. I am inclined to keep the latest stack in the kernel since it is working fine in the stock ROM. Let's see what others will say until Wednesday when 3.0.74 is also expected.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
This kernel is running great with WFTN.

And the battery life is incredible .

[HTC EVO 3D] junxracr:
Yes the first run of the test kernel had good battery life and besides Bluetooth issue everything ran well. Considering how I use the phone and over clocked I was surprised.

I flashed back to the bigwillyg kernel on pacman rom to test Bluetooth issue. The same not working. I'll have to get logcats the next time the person with the other device is around.

Edit: I just noticed the 734 test kernel above :D will be flashing and trying it out.

What I had stated above was about the 733 test kernel. Sorry so late.

Edit: okay I flashed 734 and Bluetooth wasn't working, but everything else is just fine. I was doing logcat, but when I returned to TE the log cat wasn't there :(. Will have to try another time. I don't really use Bluetooth much was just thinking about getting a wireless for the road to avoid accidents like I've seen in fb post.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
New kernel build is in the OP.

Changes since 3.0.73:

- Synced with Linux 3.0.74

- enabled CPU overclocking beyond 1.5 GHz up to 1.7

- updated bluetooth stack from codeaurora msm-3.0

- several cosmetic changes in the code (see Hardware information > Processor)

- GPU 3D overclocking to 320 MHz

- merge changes from HTC 2.95 kernel source

- disable display brightness debug messages

Enjoy!

PS: Bluetooth is working in the stock ROM. It should also work on stock-based ROMs. I will try making a patch for adding compatible user space Bluez utilities for other ROMs.

Edit: packages attached here for Chinese friends :)

I also don't like the fast charge mod. As you said, it a hack and hacks only lead to kernel instability. Absolutely no offence to any other kernel developer, but the more mods/hacks added, that's when the weirdness and random reboots start. There is a reason OEMs don't add these sort of things. Just my observation.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
Well, I promised once and I need to keep my word now.

Here is the kernel with the forced fast charge mode added. Let's test it and report if there is any problem. I have used it now without turning on the fast charge mode. Everything seems to be in order.

I will not add more features. This is another promise :)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?k9tqtd7b7ws2191
[HTC EVO 3D] mrg666:
We are on the same page. But let me add that the OEM software is not always the best one, especially the ICS update of EVO 3D. The kernel and the OS are completely half baked. First of all, this ICS update had to be done with ION implemented. There are many places in the kernel code that shows incomplete and sloppy coding.

See, for example, here, here, here, here ...

They just did this update as cheap as possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
In a hurry to get some stuff done so I just took a peek, but that is seriously gross. How is this production code that got shipped to millions? 0.o
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
You have an excellent point for sure. Obviously, there was a lack of quality coding coming from HTC ...nothing new there as that is the norm since the days dating back to the Hero. Was just making the point that no OEM would add a mod such as fast charge. When you pump 900ma into a charging battery that was designed to charge on 500ma on ac source there is going to be some unnecessary degrading of that battery happening. It also puts a lot of strain on the usb on the pc side if charging from usb.

BTW, still loving this kernels battery life, performance, and stability.

[HTC EVO 3D] Alanman13:
Ok before I update, I just want to make sure I understand correctly. Is the mpdecision delete necessary for the kernel?

Guys, while we are using their code let's not be unappreciative. I want to thank Chad Froebel for the fast charge code which is brilliant and also faux123 for having the implementation for EVO 3D in his repo.

It seems like the major part of the development for MiRaGe kernel is done now. I will be updating this kernel and I will enjoy for a while but I will also need another project soon. Any suggestions?

I have downloaded a shooteru kernel from HTC. I have no way testing it of course. Let me see what it takes. No promises.

There is a patch in my repo if you're interested. It applies the changes needed to compile the shooteru kernel. No additional changes needed, it just works. Well, you may have to go back and reapply some board/device specific patches (eg: board-shooteru.c)
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
Agreed. As the original implementation on the Evo 3d came from Chad G. and it improved upon by Chad Froebel. Faux123 had absolutely nothing to do with that code. Haven said that, lets not digress onto that subject as it is VERY touchy around here.
