After running 0.5a on top of the 05/27 release of Buttered last night through now, I can honestly say it's been stable.

I'm using noop with a Read Ahead Buffer Size of 1536.

CPU Frequency Lock is on, with a Min of 220000, and a Max of 1320000. Max Screen Off is 660000. These show based on the MPU setting (below)

Governor is hotplug, and I changed some settings in the Governor Control:

down_differential = 10

down_threshold = 20

hotplug_in... = 5

hotplug_out... = 20

ignore_nice_load = 0

io_is_busy = 0

sampling_rate = 50000

up_threshold = 50

I turned the MPU OC to 110 and turned off SmartReflex for it. I think I added at least 1 tick to each voltage level, but I don't recall. 1320MHz is 1398, and 220MHz is 1000 (those are the min/max from above).

So fast. Wakes quickly, stutters rarely and only when in heavy use.

ETA:

Sometimes it slows down a bit (still usable), but I usually just swipe from recent apps and it goes back to normal... any recommendations?

I'm going to flash 0.5x over this tonight, will let you know tomorrow how it runs compared to today.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------

It seems that every time I flash the kernel I have to fix permissions at the very least. Sometimes a cache/dalvik wipe is needed... this time only a fix permissions and a couple restarts were necessary.

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Holy crap this is quick! I used the same settings as above, except I added 10 to each voltage. We'll see if it stays like this.

Also turned on ZRAM... maybe it'll help the "recent apps" issue above.

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

Sorry for all the replies, but at least it's not full posts!

Ran MinFreeManager, used these settings:

Foreground App (mb): 6

Visible App (mb): 12

Secondary Server (mb): 16

Hidden App (mb): 82

Content Provider (mb): 90

Empty App (mb): 98

Zooooooooom!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I don't recommend to use ram apps... However, zram is really not recommended because we have 1gb of RAM. Zram is only useful on devices with less ram and causes on high ram devices to become slower and eat more power. Why? Because it always has to calculate, compress and decompress the 10% of Memory.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] drexhex:
Good point about zram. Disabling that but the minfreemanager settings seem to be helping
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Ok. Helping for what? I don't have any problems and I don't use a any mem apps.

I just updated my LiquidSmooth to 2.5 and flashed it with the 0.5x hybrid - runs smooth as hell, the sound seems to be working on wakeup. Will be testing it now for battery life and stability.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
KThe sound issue is related to the roms, not the kernel!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
You're sure? Cause it was always present with the old 0.5a and wasn't with the new one. Plus it appeared in a variety of roms with that specific kernel build.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
It might be caused by a broken CPU setting in the old kernel. But with the latest kernel this is fixed. Someone in German forum faced a similar issue with 0.5x, but he uses an unstable/unfinished beta rom, so I'm sure it's related to that. Keep in mind that I personally had EVERY kernel build installed which I ever released, and I treated several Roms with my kernel :D but I never faced this issue except on a very experimental build of my kernel and once with CM and its original kernel. And even I never touched sound drivers in the kernel.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
I get it, thanks for the info :] All in all - the 0.5x runs great for me right now, thank you for your hard work!

Edit: just had a sound related crash on 0.5x :/ Don't know whether it's rom related or not... Maybe I'll try to revert to LS 2.4 with 0.5x JBX to be sure.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1droidmod:
dtrail1, took your advice, just flashed .5x, all is great, will update later..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
If you don't have it, try this. Go to apn and if you only have 4 or 5, select the last one then let your phone sit for about 10-15 minutes. That worked for me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
Don't think so too be honest. I had the sound issue on so many different Roms but only with bse or 0.5 (before 0.5a)

But since 0.5a all is good so it doesn't really matter...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1droidmod:
It reverted on me once, i just kept going back and reselecting took 3/4 times before it would not revert
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryankliber:
Streaming music on Google play is soooo hard on battery haha, especially when u have it at high quality. But why is it that I always have this about 20% disappearance of battery. Happens ALL the time. I've tried letting my phone die and charging it to full while off, consistently not charging overnight for a good week, same with a week of overnight charging, clearing battery stats in both system_1 and system_2, switching systems in bmm till it displays the right battery and then booting it. Any other tricks you guys know about?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Only hint I got: NEVER wipe battery stats.

If nothing helps, it's a good time to convert your razr to maxx. There are several guides how to do this. I just mean, when buying a new battery, buy a maxx one.

M.o.t.o.r.o.l.a.R.a.z.r - JBX-Kernel 0.5a - Tapatalk4
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryankliber:
Ok I won't, have really cut down on doing it but I'm at the point where I'll try anything. I've already been through one battery this one isn't even a year old official moto, going to get a maxx one this time I think and then cut apart the back and throw it in my otterbox, might have to cut the silicon on my otterbox too but I'm sure it will work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Well, tried all the tips in this thread & the other one & still no 4g for me with .5x hybrid. Currently running the 5/30 pacman port from bkjolly. Back to 4.7oce.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] St33l:
So what the default in your kernel and what default in Motorola kernel? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drexhex:
Sorry I copied and repeated a lot but I thought it would be easier for everyone. After running 0.5x on top of the 05/27 release of Buttered last night through now, I am reporting stability and speed on a consistent basis.

Wakes quickly, stutters rarely and only when in heavy use. Was able to use Google play music, navigation, and AutoGuard (dashcam) at the same time (chews up battery but a lot slower - almost 0 change - when plugged into the car charger). Audio now returns to normal after getting a notification!

I'm using noop with a Read Ahead Buffer Size of 1536.

CPU Frequency Lock is on, with a Min of 220000, and a Max of 1320000. Max Screen Off is 660000. These show based on the MPU setting (below)

I turned the MPU OC to 110 and turned off SmartReflex for it. I added 10 to each voltage.

Sometimes it slows down a bit (still usable), but I usually just swipe from recent apps and it goes back to normal. Since it seems to help with multitasking (might be a placebo) I also am using MinFreeManager, with these settings:

NEW VALUES:

Foreground App (mb): 8

Secondary Server (mb): 250

Hidden App (mb): 300

Content Provider (mb): 350

Empty App (mb): 400
[Motorola Droid RAZR] St33l:
I have a questions.

1. In default configuration "min" freq = 300 and "max" = 1 000? If I want to use "min" = 100 and "max" = 1 200 do I need to use Live OC or I need just to set this freqs in properties for "min" and "max" and lock it?

2. And if I set "max screen off" = 300 and "Min" = 100 do this mean that then my phone will sleep or I will shut off the screen my freqs will never be = 100?

3. Do "max screen off" = 300 mean that if my screen off and some application need more CPU freq (for example I archiving the folder) then the CPU will stay at 300MHz?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] life isgood:
1.) Set the min and max to what you want and put on frequency lock.

2.) Not exactly sure what you're asking here, sorry.

3.) Yes; your phone can scale up to 300MHz if necessary.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Default by Moto? It's

Min: 154mhz

Max: 307mhz

No way to change it.

After receiving a PM about my post, I took the suggestion for minfree values and have had AMAZING results with them! They probably appear earlier in the thread as mentioned by the user who PM'd me, but I'll post them again anyway. Thanks so much to whoever is the original source for these values, possibly prsterero.

I'm using MinFreeManager, but ROM Toolbox can do the same thing.

Foreground App (mb): 8

Visible App (mb): 60

Secondary Server (mb): 250

Hidden App (mb): 300

Empty App (mb): 400

These are significantly different than the last ones I posted. I have virtually 0 lag, even when doing heavy multitasking as mentioned in my previous post. Much smoother transitions between apps, too. I haven't even had to swipe away recent apps!

If you are experiencing any slowdown at all, try this. It worked for me like you wouldn't believe. It feels like a new phone!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keju_coklat_susu:
HDMI worked??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I think this belongs to the Rom threads.. But thanks.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
I completely agree with dtrail about the minfree. That's all related to the ROM and not the kernel :) I know many have had success with it, but even more would if it was discussed on the ROMs since not everyone uses this kernel :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
Still 0.4.6 oce is the most stable...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Do you get any black screen when someone is calling or any black screen of death when trying to wake up phone with that kernel? Which CM version are u running? also how is ur battery life?

Is it this one to use for umts_spyder(xt910) http://dtrailer.de/kernel/RAZR_JBX-Kernel_OCE_0.4.6_JB_STABLE.zip ?

I am thinking of trying a new kernel maybe it solves my problems that I have with cm 10
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
No black screen on calling for sure,no black screen of death also (tho some times i need to push twice to wake the screen,no big deal,happens twice a day).

My battery is not awesome but much better than stock cm10.1 kernel,can last half a day on moderate use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Thanks I'll try 0.4.6 oce before going back to stock. 0.5 seems unstable
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Could you be more specific regarding to "unstable", please? 0.5x is the most stable build I every made. If you hands problems, tell me more details and I'll help you to solve them.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Sorry I haven't tried it only been reading about people having trouble so I am scared I get reboots etc i need my phone to be stable because I use it in work so I can't let it reboot.

Do you think I should give 0.5a a go and see if it works good with CM 10.1 RC4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
You are funny, really, lol.... Show me those many people who have trouble :) no, you don't need to be scared. Use the 0.5x test kernel from nightly folder. Trust me.

Also gamma control anyone using it?

compatible?

i am currently using the canadian rodgers firmware form latam region

the system version is 982.124.18.XT910.Rodgers.en.CA

Chrome is lagging very bad in 0.5x, very unstable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
Circa one week of testing with CM 0527 and 0.5a. I was mostly away from my computer so did not get any logs.

- about 5 or more random reboots with nothing really happening

- no gps about 10 times, solved by a reboot. Really random, half an hour ago had a GPS app running perfectly fine, when I try to use it again no satellites can be found

- sometimes really slow to get data and/or voice 'lock' after switching from airplane mode or coming out of a no coverage area

- about 5 times I got the 'one time init prompt' asking me the username, location sharing and other stuff. This happened after a hard reboot and is not solved by a subsequent reboot. One time I lost all recent calls and SMSs as well as viber, whatsapp and skype data.

- various lockups

- reboots or losing usb drives while connecting the phone to usb (screen ON and unlocked) or during USB usage

I have already reported most of these issues after the first day of using it but I can now confirm that at least on my phone and with that CM rom (slot 3) it's consistent. Tried clean installations, no TBP restore and various other stuff (clearing media storage data, ..) but still no luck. Default kernel trickster mod settings, nothing was changed there.

Battery life is ok, if it matters, similar to OCE but probably without any overclocking settings.

With CM0507 (slot 3) and OCE 0.4.6 I was getting much better stability and none of these issues, only a few lockups.

Perhaps you should recommend in the OP the configuration you are using and testing with: which ROM (CM RC2?), which slot, which kernel and trickster mod settings. It should narrow the issues quite a lot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
If u read the faq it clearly states that only slot 1(system 1) is recommended.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
I've already done that, this is why I''ve mentioned it. I've been using system 2 (sorry, not 3) ever since the JBX kernel appeared and didn't have a lot of issues.

I'll do a clean install on system 1 with the configuration that dtrail suggests.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drexhex:
I think using slot 1 will solve many of these issues. You may want to try using Buttered AOKP from 05/27 and jbx 0.5x. I have not had a single crash or random reboot. Battery life is good, and it's very quick. See previous posts of mine for my trickster and minfree settings.

I haven't had any luck at all with .5x. Cannot get signal to come up for the life of me. Keeps going to unknown and then roaming then nothing. Running carbon nightly xt912

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sreeman:
Weird, cant get my pacman to boot up when using the kernel. stuck at a black screen with green LED. restore to normal kernel and it boots up fine :S

Could it be because im on slot2 (required by pacman)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thevillageidiot:
seems to have dOne the tRick! Do you have to do that every boot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Chrome is known for lagging issues - unrelated to the kernel.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Just install the 0.5x test kernel - I recommend this many many times because all 0.5a issues are fixed in this version. I will release it with some improvements as official soon.

Rergarding to the CM nightlies: It's a known thing that many of the newer CM nightlies are UNSTABLE! Read in their thread about that.

TO ALL: Please stop posting issues BEFORE you didn't read in the rom threads! KEEP IN MIND: These Roms are NOT READY / FULLY STABLE yet! Not all issues you are getting are caused by my kernel!

Also check the FAQ, check your configurations and your systems to make sure your "bug" is not caused by a wrong config or sth like that.

AND: There is a kernel discussion thread to keep this one here a little bit more clean. I know it's sometimes hard figuring out the source of bugs - kernel or rom related - BUT please, get more informations about the rom you're using before you bomb this thread with bug reports. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
Today I had a soft reboot with 0.5x and LS 2.5 - the sound died, phone.apk and contacts.apk stopped responding and than the phone rebooted itself :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Maybe your voltage was too low - or something else...? Please also check other possibilites - as I mentioned in my prior post! These roms are not in a stable state, so some bugs could be caused by the roms too - or by a wrong configuration, or whatever. In many cases a bug can be caused by the rom as well (or anything else I mentioned in my prior post), so there is no need to post every single random reboot in this thread. Please only post bug reports if you're COMPLETELY sure that it was cuased by the kernel itself! Thx!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
Well, that's exactly like I've said, that you should post your testing configuration because a lot of people here just want the ready thing (like JBX rom) and using other roms is just asking for trouble.

Even though I use CM nightlies I try to pick the most stable ones out of the thread, the ones that are reported as stable by at least 5 people. Maybe this time it did not work out.

I'm now on buttered aokp 0527 + 0.5x, so far it seems to be running stable. The problem is that all these issues appear when I least 'need' them: in the car, in the city while trying to find a place or when taking a photo of something interesting. They almost never happen at home where I'm ready to take a log.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1droidmod:
.5x Great results with RC2.... Just updated to RC4 this a.m. Good so far. In the KERNEL are there tweaks as far as reception goes? Or is that a ROM thing?? RC4 not so great connectivity as stock 4.1.2... Calibrated battery yesterday(ran till phone shut down) was off 26%... Would have never known cause .5x gives me outstanding battery life.

Don't know?? Can't help you because I don't know anything about your configuration. Is your installation clean? No other tweaks from your prior usage of CM? Any CPU custom settings? Have you tried to wipe cache&dalvik&Fix Permissions? Also check the FAQ and try these suggestions.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Thanks I will try that I did not have any custom things must aright cm
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Not sure, but I heard about some stability issues on CM nightlies... I recommend to use Buttered AOKP! It's the most stable and fastest Custom Kexec Rom available atm - and it runs very great with JBX-Kernel!

Another thing:

NOTE: Kernel Restore / Backup feature during installation does NOT work for Safestrap users! This feature uses busybox and I guess it's not allowed in Safestrap (you might correct me here..) such like the custom install-binary thing which is not allowed in SS. Sorry. Seems that Kernel Resotre ONLY works for BMM users!

tried wiping dalvik&cache but still nothing. strange.

will flash cm10.1 ontop and see if i can get it booting again.

i can't even boot into cm10.1 after flashing it ontop of the existing install with wiping cache&dalvik.

looks like i will have to do a factory reset and reinstall :(

hey if using safestrap just delete rom slot and recreate
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
nope using BMM.

sad to say i had to do a factory reset...maybe 0.5x should be used carefully...at least to a full backup before flashing it.

Edit:

Wow something broke badly. did a factory reset and it still won't boot. stays stuck at the spinning cm logo for over 10 minutes.

had to format my system to get my phone to boot again oO
