Thanks for adding Pegasusq and row again! ... Question remains which scheduler you 'd recommend ;)

only it seems that directly after reboot, it doesn't enter deepsleep automatically! (even when set auto - apply cpu settings on reboot. So i have to open either venom settings or nofrills and reapply whatever cpu setting, so that deepsleep works again.

Oh, and task switching seems a bit laggy compared to before, could that be due to the scheduler set?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Task switching could be because of scheduler, deepsleep for me is automatic, been using kernel tuner app and I love it, about my recommendation, I use hotplug for gaming, intellidemand for screen on and hotplug when screen off, I also like smartass some times, my scheduler of choice is row, ill add it when I can get some more time(maybe on weekend) and that will be beta 2, about CPU settings, that's app dependant
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
tried to compare hotplug, intellidemand and smartassv2 ...

dun like hotplug xD ... coz screen-on usage has a high batt usage, intellidemand seems okay, but still smartassv2 seems the best balance, BUT STILL unfortunatelly even with absolute empty task switcher and deepsleep screen-off & at home (therefore wifi and not 3g-data on) ... the best i can get out of your current kernel-series seems 1.8% / hr only (T_T) ... stock kernel and on your previous kernel-series (3.6b upto 4.2) i managed to reach 0.8 to 1.1% / hr!

any idea why the current series has almost the double power-usage on absolute idle??? thanks for your insides ^-^
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
Any way to add back the higher frequencies to the new build, just to play with
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] 24ky:
What about blink light notifications, and double tap to wake ?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Yes, been thinking of it too

Sure I will try

Interesting, smartass was the default governor on those releases and it was tweaked, I will use it as default and tweak it again on next release, i will leave my phone with no charger until it has 10% and see what happens, on this gpu is clocked higher but it only goes up when playing games like shadowgun (500mhz) fifa or other games with not intensive 3d only use 300mhz) so I don't think it is the cause

EDIT: had to reboot due to phone fall, result was 6 hours 97%, those include wifi on for 3 and wifi off after i posted this, also some calls(2min) and messages, checking mail and thats it
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
Tried flashing your old 1.9mhz mod. Everything seems to be intact except that the soft keys lights broke. Mine is stable up to 1.8 thus far.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
nice, about backlight, i think you flashed the one that was on general(zhoatian made) so it disables keys, you only need to delete a line on the init files included in the zip, i think it starts with echo "0" /sys/devices/backlight or something like that
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
so 6hrs and just 3% batt loss? wow ... that's sth i never managed to reach :cyclops: ... best _with deepsleep_ was sth around 0.7-0.8%, but mostly 1.1% (if there was sth remaining in the background). that's why it's a bit of a pity for me that the new series of your great OC-kernel now only reaches 1.8% at best for me :crying:

i'll be looking for your updated, new release (maybe with row-scheduler and pegasusq again? :victory:) ... but to be fair, smartassv2 and pegasusq were very similar in my results using your 4.2 kernel :p
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
about battery, yes, i am impressed too, note this is when phone is at the table doing nothing with wifi off, my new release is more focused on stock kernel battery levels(added only the things specified) so batttery should be like it was on stock, on older smartass was tweaked for battery, ill add that again
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
uploaded 1.4
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
Wow, I don't know what to say, aside u and those like u are the ones that make these devices what they are. Thanks doesn't say enough.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
Running 1.8ghz version, so far really happy with the responsiveness and speed. Long term stability, we'll see. Only clocked at 1.6, which is plenty.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
oops! i killed usb charging, fixing on next version

Edit:released 1.4b with working charging and fastcharge
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
i'll try the new 1.4b @ 1.5GHz version and report back ;) ... (and save a copy of your 1.8GHz just instead, but dun wanna risk my device (yet?!) ^^)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Want a risk? Try 2ghz version, most phones won't handle it :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
Swift key has stopped working for me today, and it appears that my SD card crapped out at some point during the night. This is due to the SD boost, because I've tried it before withthe same result. Battery life is ,so far, worse than the prior iteration I was using

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
I have been using trickster mod. It has an option for mpdecision on/off, what exactly is this and how should it be selected.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
I bumped down from the 1.8ghz to the 1.5ghz version and turned down the SD read speed to 512 through Venom Tweaks and so far it's been fine. I don't know if my external SD card can't handle it because it's so old, but the boosted speed always craps it out. Hopefully the speed setting will be persistent if changed? I'll probably go back to the 1.8ghz and try the turned down SD speed and see if I can't get it stable for 24 hours.

The swift key issue was related to an update that was pushed through with a bunch of others and I missed it when I cleared the notification, so that seems to be unrelated to the kernel and is now working.

I still wish you could the aroma installer for this to pull out things like the S2W and the SD boosting, but I understand you can't and appreciate that work you put into this. Thanks a lot!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
mpdecions is core 2 shutdown for battery, when screen off and when not required
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
that speed is some kind of buffer like thing, no mather how old it is it will work, also note that improves overall performance with no impact on battery, s2w is disabled by kernel tuner(great app 5 stars for me, use it as base for some functions), sdcard requirement is to be 2

MB

or more which is pretty easy to find(256mb is really old and would work)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
Yea, S2W can be disabled by programs, but it is not persistent after reboot, which is annoying.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
So the option should be set to off in app due to being implemented thru kernel?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
app is used to turn it on or off in kernel
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
Cool. Sorry, just went to this device from the Inc 2, a lot of changes between the two of them.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
reports from 1.4b (@1.5GHz) ...

* deepsleep NOT working while charging???

* problems to enter deepsleep at all ... even after changing/editing govenors and/or freqs

* smartassv2 NOT working ... stays fix on max cpu-freq of kernel!!! (at least for intellidemand and hotplug freq-scaling works fine on 1.4b though)

seems like you broke smartassv2 when going from 1.1beta to 1.4b unfortunately, hope you can fix it (or add pegasusq :fingers-crossed:)

... no results for batt usage yet.

PS: and I just had another two crashes and reboot (maybe my Dinc4G isn't even stable at 1512MHz??? but at least 1458 works fine for me ... it survives 1512 during boot, but starts to freeze within 2-3minutes >__< if I don't lower the allowed max limit to 1458 as highest.)

PPS: would you mind with the new upcoming releases to change the regular-OC speed max-1512 version to 1458MHz max??? ... you can leave the high-OC 1.8 and extreme-OC 2.1GHz versions as they are for the other adventurous ppl xD)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
So after using kernel tuner for a couple days I found that the governor does not stay persistent after deep sleep, keeps switching to on-demand. I went back to setcpu and it's been fine. No reboots as of yet, running 1.8ghz set to 1.6ghz max.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
ill use cpu hard cap on next versions, making anythig above 1.2ghz only user selectable, about smartass, i didnt touch it between those 2 it should be working, battery now last longer for me i can finally listen music all day, about reboots, note that not all phones are made equally so some may work, others not
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
what OC speed is remade v1? i know your newer 1.4 comes in 3 speeds... what were the older versions set for? i may try v1.4 but i'd like to know what is comparable speedwise...

i've been running remade v1 since it was posted 10 days ago. i'm happy to have s2w working again! i've been running intellidemand this time and it seems ok (i'd run smartassv2 months ago on previous versions of this kernal). i've had no issues with reboots or anything. only annoyance is the haptic feedback while on a phone call with the phone to your ear.

not sure about battery life - it seems about the same as the stock kernel to me (not worse, but not amazingly better). kernel tuner shows that i spend 3/4 my time in deep sleep. i'm not sure what you guys are looking at for deep sleep but it appears my phone spends a lot of time in it. if i don't use the phone (overnight for example) it appears to use less than 1% per hour. i do not have my phone doing a bunch of syncing... about the only thing i sync is email once per hour and tapatalk notifications.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
after the first night with 1.4b ... and fully charged & killed all apps in the tasker that i dun need: batt usage was 1% / hr ... that's pretty good and definitely better than 1.1beta ;)

thx jose
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] AFront85:
I was cranking through battery today and I could not figure out why, so I went into Setcpu and found that SmartassV2 wasn't scaling down. It had been pegged at 1512 all morning long. Switched to intellidemand and the phone instantly rebooted. I'll be reverting back to an old version or stock, this has been a rough update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Make sure you don't have multiple CPU apps, new update has updated governors
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
Thanks for the update to 1.42 and the inclusion of pegasusq... Waiting for the upload :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
new input jose :)

it's NOT my phone itself that leads to the crashes at 1512MHz with your new kernel-series! i just tried your sweet "infernal4+"-ROM ... and with it's included kernel from the OTA2 boot.img ... it runs STABLE at 1809MHz on my phone, albeit it gets very hot.

so the reason for the crashes might be elsewhere, maybe ViperLTE 2.1.1 doesn't like your kernel at higher speeds for some reason?!

PS: check my other new post in the infernal4+-thread regarding some notes on the infernal4+-kernel etc ...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
ceked them and responded them :), ive been thinking the same however my viper rom is different(self tweaked), 4+ rom is really stock so i think that your phone may be able to handle that speed on stock release, but i like viper more than stock
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
Maybe I am blind, where are the new releases?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Been trying to include row again before release with no succes
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] shorty1993:
I get a crash then bootloop if use hotplug. Attempted using several CPU apps with the same results. It is not the frequency, it will do the same even set low.

Can someone please point me in the direction of accurate information in regards to learning the fine points of kernels. Also, anyone using fauxkernel? App has a ton of settings that I have no idea where to start tweaking or even if I should. My apologies,been on android a while but coming from incredible 2 to this introduced a world of new things.thanks

I do not care for system tuner, however I love the widgets for CPU load, current frequency,etc. Anyone know of anything that is basically just a widget with small footprint for things like this?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
im uploaading 1.4.2 today, that should fix governors,i used fauxkernel app to test the simple gpu governor and it works, however as you said it has so many options you get confused :p
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
Thx, downloading right now ;)

Running "v1.42 @ 1.8GHz" version now ... ;) (since 1.8GHz was stable on your infernal4+ rom) ... with pegasusq & deadline.

so far pretty fine!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
after 10days with your new 1.42 kernel ... it's still _the best kernel for our Dinc4G you put out so far!_ very stable, great batt-runtime & plenty of govenors to choose from ;)

only minor issue i noticed (apart from row-scheduler still missing) -> occasionally it reverts the lowest cpu freq to std-384MHz even when min-192MHz was set. (around once every couple of days). it was set to apply venom-cpu settings on boot (and venom-settings also get reverted to 384 instead of the originally set 192).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] rmlineback:
Does anyone have a download link to this file ?I can't get this one too work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
link is at the end of the very 1st post on the 1st page by jose ...

EDIT: but it seems that andro-filehost has changed their interface a bit ;) ... you need to replace the "beta." in the link with "www." ... therefore the current working link to joses kernel directory is: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=4751

grab your desired kernel and have fun!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
thanks, thread updated too
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] 24ky:
Jose for the next update you should make it an aroma installer where users can change their kernel settings.... And I hear that kernel is great on battery. If you added undervolting users could get 5% - 10% more battery life and possibly 15% more if their devices can handle hardcore undervolting :p
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:
What roms does this kernel work on? I flashed the sense 5 mod Rom and flashed this kernel, phone would not boot. The sense 5 rom has 1.8ghz oc cpu but I'm more interested in the gpu oc. Please let me know thx.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] xdadevelopers-user:
What toolchain is required to build this?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
that's actually a GOOD question! ;)

i gave it a try ... cloned his git-repo (on the 1st page) and tried several toolchains (albeit i have to remark, i only use an older _32bit linux_!!)

* regular google toolchains ... break before start (as they need a !64bit! linux)

then i tried the set of toolchains from "sakindia123 / aka: Adi_Pat)

* arm-2011-09 (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-69) ... BRAKES

* arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2 (Linaro 4.6.2) ... BRAKES

* arm-eabi-4.4.3 (from Cyanogen Mod Repo) ... gives a few warnings once in a while, but ultimately _compiles fine_

as joses own boot.img somehow can live without a ramdisk?! ... i decided to use the current official 2.19.605.2 "boot_signed.img" (from the 2014-OTA) as my structural base, unpacked via Android-Kitchen, copied my own zImage over ... rebuild the boot.img

then in reintegrated this new boot.img into joses "new-infernal_v1.4.2_@1.8GHz".zip file ... flashed via recovery, cleared cache & dalvik (just in case) ... REBOOT & done :cool:

seems to work fine so far, but of course i don't have long-term experience, nor do i (yet) know if everything works as expected (mobile-data, wifi, bt, gps, camera == all working as expected ... same goes for overclocking and govenors) ;) ... but as i didn't change ANY line in joses code and even used a similar gcc443 toolchain as he aparently used (just check his makek-file in the root of his github), chances are good, that it SHOULD be fine.

i would have LOVED to compile it with a more recent linaro toolchain (at least 4.6.2 or above, but aparently this would need some ... "editing" ... *cough*)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
Kimba, what version of infernal are you running?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
as stated above: last 1.42 @ 1.8GHz ... bur remember that these kernels are fore SENSE-based ICS roms only! ;)

okay, actually i'm running my OWN tweaked build, with a few newer patches and a couple of more batt-related tweaks, _based_ on joses 1.42 build ... but the tuning and RL advantage still has to be proven! if everythings turns out fine, i'll maybe post my tweaked kernel build later ... in a week or so, or a little later :) will see
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] GeoFX:
Thanks for the hard work! :good: I've been waiting for an update to the kernel since last year that had a ROW scheduler. I'll definitely try it once the Wifi bug is fixed.

One bug I found (on the 1.5ghz version) was that the overclocked 1.5ghz setting did not "stick" using the built-in Venom cpu settings utility after a while. Is this fixed in the latest kernel?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
Sweet, I was going to flash the kernal today actually after your response to my question regarding what version you were using. I'll give this a test run instead, thanks for your work!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
i today also got a slightly older version of row-iosched.c (from the 3.0.x kernel trees instead of a 3.4.x kernel tree *cough*) working on the K99-14x kernel line (K99-144r5) ... but it also breaks wifi (as it needs a change in the block-subsystem obviously to implement it)

as for the OC setting not sticking (and also reverting the lowest 192 -> back to 384) ... i assume that's due to the implementation of "MPDECISION", but messing with its settings in "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" leads to VERY unpleasant situation of being stuck at fixed max-cpu speed with NO scaling to any lower freqs >_> ... so no change on that yet.

apart from that => another small changelog:

K99-144b5 (FIXED0c)
---------
+ re-increased 2D-GPU nominal value a bit again
+ also fixed thermal max-cpu speed for consistency

K99-144r5 (FIXED1d)
---------
+ implemented a row-iosched.c from the _older_ 3.0.x cm-kernel tree ... apparently working (without too many changes)!!
- BUG0: still breaks wifi (as kernel block-subsystem is changed)

as the change is rather small from K99-144b3 => K99-144b5 ... i won't release it, but rather wait:

if ... anyone willing to help fixing the wifi-module??? ... then i could release the awaited K99-144r5 with a working ROW-scheduler instead! :p:D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
well, fiddling around with several github trees ... trying to implement & build my "own" PRIMA_WLAN.KO matching my kernel-tree ... unfortunately they are all 3.4.x kernel line, so it's hard (near impossible) to happily resolve all deps >_<

that's why for now only my own, current "regular" infernalK99-144b6 ... that i'd been using the whole week already. runs nicely :fingers-crossed: ... even if it's not much of an update (only half of b5 & b6 over previous b3) :p

K99-144b6 (FIXED0d)
---------
+ reverted 2D-GPU nominal value to 144b3
+ tweaked L2-freq usage for the lower CPU-freqs a little more

K99-144b7 (FIXED0d)
---------
+ disabled PERFLOCK (to hopefully fix the custom-frequency setting resets)
- BUG1: damn, this breaks wifi again

[KERNEL} infernalK99-144b6: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580611

just to summarize the advantages of the infernalK99-144 build(s) over the final 1.42 from jose:

+ lower power-drainage during (re)boot

+ reaching a very low consumption _much faster_ (again) after heavy usage

+ reduced power usage with 2D screen-on only or 3D idle, while keeping the GPU OC

+ lower power usage at max 1674 (than joses preset of 1809) & battery stays cooler that way

+ faster wakeup from deepsleep & quickly drop down to 192 when CPU not needed anymore

+ very low idle power consumption, due to reduced L2 and BUS speeds for 192 & 384

+ faster L2 cache & faster BUS for regular mid to higher CPU usage (for 594 and above)

(+ well within specs for L2 & BUS upto CPU speed of 1458,)

(+ as "real" power-OC goes from 1512 to 1674 for max L2 & BUS OC)

have fun :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sum Dumb Guy:
Kimba,

I've been using your infernalK99-144b6 Kernel for a couple days. I've noticed that I have some display flickering, icons and menu items will not be visable but I can still select them, and some moving items will leave trails. Have you experienced any of this also? I was wondering if perhaps some of the power saving tweeks are a little too aggresive? I had the same issues with 144b3 but not with the recent OTA.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

J
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
Can you compare to joses 1.42 version? the only issue i noticed was that my batt monitor showed the screen as active while it was (auto-)off instead of manually switched off (via power-button or sweep) ... but didn't consume any measurable more power than it should be at screen-off.

as i didn't really _undervolt_ compared to joses v1.42 (at least not until 1512, 1566-1674 might be a tad lower than in jose142) ... just chose _different_ BUS & L2-Cache speeds for several cpu freqs. if joses v1.42 didn't had those issues it could be the removed those few (millisec) sleep removed from the display-panel driver that CM recommended (for the CM-kernel at least). so i could make a kernel-version that just has the other tweaks but restores the previous panel settings. :highfive:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sum Dumb Guy:
Just installed v1.42. I still have the same screen flicker and jitters. Is there anything I can pull from my phone that might help diagnose the issues?

(Couple minutes later...)Actually, the flicker is worse. I'm going back you your 144b6.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
you could (just for the sake of testing to verify) ... install a recent CM10.2 (like CM10.2.1 release-final) ... that rom has a supposed flicker-fix that (even to begin with) only a few ppl experienced. i think there are at least 2 different screen panels in the dinc4g ... so not all ppl experience that flickering!

the only time _i myself_ saw immense _unbearable_ flicker ... was on two "JB4.1.1 Sense" test roms ... with a unfinished test-kernel only. apart from that i neither saw that on stock-based ICS-Sense4 roms nor on JB4.3.1 ... only after rebooting a new test-kernel i had a few "ghost inputs" jumping around, before it stabilized. :angel:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sum Dumb Guy:
I can confirm that I did not have flicker on CM10.2. I was using CM until I received a new inc4glte after I droped my original one in the pool. My new phone did not like CM10.2, not a flicker problem but phone problem. The screen would go blank when I made or received a call. I couldn't pull up the keyboard or even hang up. Made retreiving voicemail a pain. Everything else worked flawless (WiFi, BT, GPS) but you know, everynow and then I'd like to use my phone as well... a phone. :laugh:

Honestly, the main thing I was looking for in these kernels was the 192 setting. Is there any way to take a stock kernel and only add 192?

J
