Hmm dtrail

I allways thought the driver never let the battery drain until the very 0%. Usually the 0% is in reality that you would have 10 to 20% left because that let the battery live longer as some chemical processes work if the battery isn't fully uncharged. Usually it is possible that the battery can charge itself a little bit when it's on 10%abd not in use. But correct me if I am wrong

Need to do quick test!! Anyone know how to get original KERNEL back to replace JBX without reinstalling ROM??:I also use SafeStrap. Thanks ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
The battery charge itself when on 10%??? How can it charge itself when there is no charger plugged?? The only chemical processes which are working inside the battery on very high and very low charge are that the battery looses a peace of its capacity all the time. That's why better keeping it between a 1/3 and 3/4 charge state - this will last your battery's lifetime (not the runtime - but better than buying a new battery after a few months). Also don't spend to much attention to the gauge meter. If you think you need to calibrate your battery, perform a bump charge (see below) but DON'T DO THIS TOO OFTEN - it will cause loosing capacity.

Well I swapped kexec and module folders from original ROM download and set permissions, rebooted, and worked.. Back to original kernel/modules now!! weeeeeee

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
There is a new Kernel_restore.zip (with detailed explanation) which does exactly this automatically - assuming you haven't installed another JBX kernel before ;) IF something should go wrong with it, you will find on your sdcard the following folder: /kernel_backup! In this folder is the kernel )(kernel.bak) and the modules located in /modules extra folder. The kernel_restore.zip copys everything back into the system and sets the right permission - usually. Otherwise you can still do this manually with roms zip.

Hi Dtrail, Thanks for all your hard work. I have one question ans i know it is a noob one and believe me i have read FAQs and googled also but finds it difficult to understand..I have flashed it and it is working properly but it is at its default settings and whenever i check showing 1000mz when i change it to 1.35gz and governor also goes back to the default.. I want to run it more than 1.2 gz and smarassv2.. but after every reboot it goes back to the default.. can u pl help me how to change it to the one i want.. I have read FAQs of Trickster App also as downloaded the pdf and was reading but i couldnt do it..i m so sorry for the noob question. I know its could be the simple one.:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] oguzpasa:
did u enable set on boot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Para94:
So actually it's not too difficult to understand. If u break it down the battery is a galvanic cell. So it's a redox reaction and a chemical equilibrium. When you have it on the chemical equilibrium is changed to the one side. If u turn it on it it gets back a bit so u recharge a minimal amount might be 0.1 to 1% if I am not wrong. That's why if you have for example a flashlight and ur battery is empty u can wait a moment and it is working for a moment again. Same is with the battery of your car for example.

But my real question is whether the battery driver really uncharge until 10%of the battery amount??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Ah, ok. Thx for explaining :)

The battery driver from kernel side calculates from 0 - 100 - so if it was completely the kernels task: yes, it would discharge until 0% (or at least until there isn't enough power to run the phone components.)

Some main info about Motorola's battery:

But the main work is done by the BATTD driver which sits in the rom. The BATTD driver calculates usually in 10%-steps and its output to the gauge meter (battery percentage in the stats bar) depends on the SystemUI.apk content of related xml files. The Razr doesn't have a fuel gauge chip (like the Gnex or SGS devices have: This chip is fully controlled by the kernel). The Moto cpcap driver in the kernel handles mostly charging logic and AC/USB plugging - it also handles the system calls about "emtpy battery" but in example the charging limit ("battery full, charging stops now") logic is more controlled by the BATTD driver again. That's why i.e. BLX doesn't work properly from kernel side and that's also the reason that Moto stock uses 10% steps - it "hides" possible gauge percentage drops (visible in stats bar) - these drops aren't always meant to indicate a broken battery - but they're a indicator for a bad battery driver.

A better alternate would be to rewrite the BATTD driver as a kernel driver and let the kernel completely handle charging logic, plugging and percentage.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
i like this part ;)

hope you (or hash or whoever) can get this done. the battery discharge jumps are pretty anoying.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Even if we do this someday it won't help for battery drops while runtime - these drops can be caused whether by a broken battery (to much charged too high or completely discharged) or by Moto's bad driver (using 10% steps would be more nicve). Note: Rewriti8ng the BATTD driver won't make the cpcap driver a better one.äThe only real benefit would be that it wouldn't loose 6-10% on a reboot.

This is frustrating! I just did a clean install of PAC and jbx 0.7c. Everything was working great. Restored my apps and such and still everything was good. Then I went into trickster and changed the governor to hotplug and scheduler to noop and oc'd to 1.2ghz and all of the sudden android system crashed and now I have no notification bar or background once again! Tried changing back to original setup and still nothing!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] life isgood:
This happened to me once, but it fixed itself after a simple reboot. If that doesn't fix it, you can try reflashing the rom, gapps, and kernel (in that order, without wipes). In the future, try to avoid that particular set of CPU settings to prevent this from happening in the future.

Also, using hotplug as the screen-on governor is kind of unnecessary. As dtrail pointed out, using 2 cores instead of just 1 while you're actively using the device can actually be better for your battery (and performance) than using just one, since 2 cores can finish tasks more efficiently and quicker than just 1. He also set the screen off CPU governor to hotplug anyway in his new 7c release.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaher1023:
Just tried reinstalling everything, and still nothing. I must have a fluke phone cuz I seem to be the only one having issues with these kernels. Thanks for the help tho!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryankliber:
6-10%??? A few days ago I went from 50 something to 14 on a reboot. Less than 1 month old MAXX battery, only a Motorola 850ma charger has been used. That's the worst one I can remember, but losing 20% is normal for me. Maybe I'll have a freeze and go from around 80 to 60, then a few hours of hard use later it's at 45 flash a new kernel and when I boot up its about 65.

Weird thing is that switching to a MAXX battery didn't affect the size of the drops at all. Which is really frustrating, because losing 20% on a MAXX battery is around 10 hours of idle time.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] life isgood:
Happened to me too. Try going to "Manage Apps" in settings and wiping data and cache for gmail app, then reinstall. This fixed it for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vasanthtt:
just 1%.. what settings you have in ur razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Para94:
So it might be possible, if someone would rewrite it and let the kernel do all the work that the phone would only for example drain to 10% and turn off???

So the battery live would be extended because it never really fully unload. In my opinion that would be great. As your work is great to extend the running time. But if it should last longer then the battery life should be extended. So what is the BATTD driver part of??? Is it part of the rom???

Well, after much turmoil I finally have my phone working properly with the 0.7c kernel! I think my original problem stemmed from using MyBackup pro. I was restoring system settings which I do not usually back up. I figured this out when I decided to swap ROMs this afternoon. I am now rocking Dirty Unicorn with the 0.7c kernel, and so far, so good. One thing I have noticed is that my notification bar and wallpaper still disappear when I make UI changes, but a reboot brings them right back unlike before. Thanks dtrail for all ur hard work, and everyone else who responded to my cries for help! :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tsaukpaetra:
You're not the only one. ;) I can't get my phone to reliable boot with this kernel, but once it does, it's fairly awesome. I'm just lurking here until I can figure out what my phone's major malfunction is.

kernel was running well for a whole day.

then i got a call and my phone didn't ring...seems like the "good" old soundbug is present again...

when trying to call back the person my phone app fc'ed and i had to reboot.

realy shame. the phone runs well but then something like that happens and messes it up completely. i will have to go back to stock. this kernel just isn't reliable enough for me and when you have to use your phone for work it kinda sucks...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
Still running the 7/3 release, and I've had almost no problems. I say almost, because this morning I found my phone with a blank screen and the green LED on. No biggie, I just did a hard restart, wiped cache & dalvik, repaired permissions, and booted. It's been very solid for me.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nandeh:
Both issues can appear in aosp based ROMs with stock kernels randomly, so I guess that are not JBX kernel related
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Exactly! There exist some "issues" which cannot be tracked - even no one knows if it's rom- or kernel-related.

In example on Atrix2: some users cannot boot any kexec kernel/Rom. We only that there are some i2c/dss (display, panel) issues partly and it looks like the display isn't going to be initialized. - and still no one knows why.

BUT: often there are people who think they belong to those people whos devices are not compatible or something. But then after some patience and research or even more time off more careful reading the guide guide/faq, or starting over from scratch or screaming via big red letters ;) or whatever (there are soooo much possibilities....) suddenly it works like a charm.

not sure if you are referring to my sound bug issue.

you know me and i am not one to shout and complain loudly...

i've had my phone running on the "stock" kexec kernel for days and never had a sound issue.

with jbx sadly after a day and a half i had the lockup. and back in the days before your hybrid kernel i had that issue a lot more often.

seen as i was at work i couldn't grab any logs but next time it happens i will try and grab a log to see if we can shed some light but for me it seems that sometimes when in deep sleep and i get a call the phone doesn't wake up properly or has these issues.

so yeah im not complaining or whining. i know the risk (and fun) involved when using unstable developement stuff i just wanted to let you know that the problem is back again (at least for me)

Oh, and I forgot an important point. Because each silicon isn't exacting like another one, some might not be able to run the sane frequencies like others. In example the min 100mhz may cause issues or the screen off freqs.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mat9v:
Well, maybe it's not a kernel problem, but compatibility with some app. You coud try clean install (without ANY use apps), flash 0.7c kernel and observe for a time. If the problem happens on your handset with completely clean install then..... err I don't know :) maybe a hardware difference? But really try that way, if after 3 days there are no problems, install few of your favourite apps, observe again. I know it's hard not being able to use your everyday apps but if you really want to use this kernel, be a ginnea pig :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
I had the stock kernel running for three days without lockup with exactly the same apps I'm using now, so I doubt that's the issue.

I expect it's just the way my phone is. It never liked the bs edition kernels. It always crashed. And now every now and again it's still does. I'm gonna try and disable smart reflex and lift the voltages a little. Will see how that goes.

FYI, I perma bricked my phone trying to use BMM with jbx on my stock slot. I got a free replacement phone and installed jbx kernel through safestrap and its working great. On my old phone jbx kernel would never boot but on my replacement phone it boots every time and runs great. Thanks for the hard work dtrail! Apparently my old bricked phone hated your kernel but my new one loves it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] angrist:
You mean System 1? So u are are using jbx kernel with a stock ROM or did you flash a cm10 ROM over stock?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iaminflames:
I had flashed cm10.1 into slot 1 and flashed jbx kernel. It wouldn't boot so I went back into bmm to reflash cm10.1 without the kernel. My phone froze while flashing in bmm and after I did a force restart it wouldn't show the bmm prompt anymore. My phone was bricked with no possible way of recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaher1023:
Well, I'm back to square one on this kernel. I tried running it on Dirty, but everything was so unstable. I thought maybe it was the ROM, so I went back to PACman with a clean install and didn't restore system settings. But still the same issues. What ROMs are other ppl running this on with a CDMA device?

I was running it fine on PAC CDMA but after a day and a half it just got really bad and unstable I couldn't answer calls and opening apps would make my phone freeze

You couldn't fxz back to blur jb? Its real hard to "permabrick" a locked boot loader. I ask this b/c I've had the something similar happen with bmm my phone restarted b4 bmm reinstalled to the system and all I got was a moto m and no bmm prompt all I did was use Matt's utility and problem solved. Its almost impossible to brick these phones unless you have no idea what your doing or are very inexperienced.

Even if bmm is broken and can't boot, you can recover by flashing fastboot files via rsd

dtrail1, do you plan to implement in your kernel AdHoc support?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Well, if these problems come from the frequencies (bse like you said) try to not use any underclock. Set your min frequency and your screen off frequency to 300 with lock on. If you still have problems, set the voltages to something above 1000mV (especially the lower ones). Keep smart reflex on, but raise the SRMIN values for all parts.

I guess I know a possible reason. The core and iva villages are lowered - and maybe some phones don't like that. I guess I have to find a solution...

Yesterday i lost my carrier signal randomly, i did a reboot and the phone wasn't even showing the bootanimation screen (my config was 300~1350 with all other stock options untouched plus ahead buffer 2048. I was using the ktoonservative governor). I tried these solutions, without sucess:

- Apply trickster reset

- Restore kernel

- Applying the 0.7b (was working fine for some days)

- Applying the 0.7c

- Wiping the cache+dalvik

The only thing that made my RAZR boot into system again was doing a full wype, plus flashing the rom again (Buttered AOKP from June). I still dont know what was the problem..

Anyway, im using again the Buttered AOKP from June + JBX 0.7c for about one day and a half and no problems at all.. the phone is even faster than it was on the previous AOKP install.

And thank you again dtrail for the awesome kernel! The next thing that i'll do with my razr is to swap my battery with the MAXX battery (i found the full conversion kit searching on the XDA forums).

For everyone having the same issues (also coupled with search and back buttons not working) you need to run the Google One-Time Init action again. For me this happened sometimes (quite a lot actually) after a TB restore. The simplest way to do this is to use a launcher that supports adding actions, add that action on your desktop and run it. Just make sure that the back and search buttons do not work, otherwise I'm not sure if this will help.
