Untill the "capacitive buttons remaining on when screen is off" issue is solved, I think i'm just gonna change all the values in config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues in the framework-res.apk to 0, so the capacitive buttons will always be off.

One question though; the original configuration looks like this:

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>-1</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

Does anybody know why one value is -1?

I'm on 2.2 hv and have a big issue: my phone keeps crashing and rebooting :(

This started happening after i used wifi tether last night, i noticed a few spontaneous reboots then so i disabled tether. The phone picked up its normal wifi connection again but after turning off the display it rebooted again and this kept on going: reboot, display on, WiFi connected, display off, reboot...

The reboots stopped after disabling WiFi.

Unfortunately a fresh reboot, wipe cache and dalvik and a modules reinstall did not fix it. As soon as i enable WiFi and turn the screen off the phone reboots.

Did i miss something? Any ideas?

I'm on the latest Miui (3.9.13) from miuiandroid.

Other then that great work Alex!
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
This kernel is made for sense 5 or roms based on sense 5 so you could get problems because the miui version you are on is sense 4+ and could f#ck up something....there are many kernels also from Alex-v which are for sense 4+ and really sense 4+ which aren't making any problems so you should flash them ..

Ah lol, that explains a lot... Now off to find a suitable Alex-kernel :)

Thank you!
[HTC One X] mrsmtt:
Hi Alex, first of all thank you for your great work.. Just a question: have you planned of releasing a stock (sense5) kernel with s2w as you did with v.03 (sense4) ?
[HTC One X] Burtrum57:
Can anyone tell me how to find out what my variant is?
[HTC One X] Alex-V:
maybe if the source is out :)

[HTC One X] Benski_84:
all right...flash this amazing 2.3 rc Kernel and he works very well. thanks for this, Alex!

But, i got a few little things, what i want reprot to you:

1. same as Seb:

2. known CRT on/off issue

3. i enabled S2W 2 Buttons on Venom Tweaks (V4.0.2) but it doesn't work. it uses also 3 Buttons.

maybe there are some more, will report it later again ;)

PS: oh, one more thing:

can you all told me your settings? want a better Batt-Life. I don't play any games on my One X, just need it for stable and smooth. which settings can you recommend?
[HTC One X] teteu86:
Hi guys.

To update to v.2.3RC, should I follow these steps?

1- delete pnpmgr from system/bin

2- delete old connect files from system/etc/firmware (are they the files in ti-connectivity folder, beginning of trip*.bin ?)

3- flash boot.img, erase cache

4- install modules

5- wipe cache/dalvik (is this step really needed?)

6- reboot.
[HTC One X] mrsmtt:
right, I forgot this thing :silly:
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:

[MENTION=1171895]Alex-V[/MENTION]

Ok, as I promise I did extensive testing today. The conclusions is that something is not right with the cpu control in 2.2/2.3 kernel. After fresh restart it indeed works right for ~5-10 mins, but after that the cpu control f*cks. Let me explain what happens: When I monitor the cpu with performance monitor(you should check it out, really cool program and detailed cpu load info) in stock kernel all cores stays 1.4GHz 100% use during the test, but in 2.3 tho all cores are active most of the time 1 or 2 cores are maxed out and the other two either goes to 50% or most of the time even 1-5% use. Sometimes all cores are [MENTION=1412615]100%[/MENTION], sometimes it goes 1 core at 100% and the other 3 at some laughable loading percents. And it indeed is like speed up for 1 secs to normal speed then 3 secs like in throttling. O.o

I tried everything: deleted pngmng ofc, OV, different governors and i/o schedulers. The rom is viperX 4.0.2 and it's clean(i.e. I exclude rom problem or inexperienced user flashing). If I restart the phone the cpu works normal again for enough time for 1-2 benchs and then bam... again no go. Dunno why is that, but it's really a bad thing. :/

Btw I found throttle file among root cpu directory and it's with 0 value in it. Should't be at 85? Maybe the cpu is indeed in some buggy software throttling? Dunno, but I will welcome any suggestions. :)

Cheers!
[HTC One X] Sebby:
you know that this kernel is not build on the sense 5 source (not released yet) and there will be bugs ,especially if you have no source of the kernel

alex did his best to make for us a usable kernel for sense 5 rom wich is actually a build on a sense 4 kernel source from trip ,because the sense 4 kernel will not boot on sense 5 ,and thanks to trip also to make it happen ,but we still dont know what trip has change in his kernel to boot up with sense 5 repack

and we have now all feature's what we need on sense 5 till the source is released

and i am really happy with the new version (it does what it must do ,with all the nice features included)
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
I am not mocking, I am just bug reporting. I pretty damn well know that this kernel is based on trips heavy modified kernel with is the only one that "works" with the new android/base/sense 5. Ofcourse Alex did his best and still do so, tbh I am surprised that the kernel is working so good right now(and is working at all).

So I really can't see the idea behind your post... the fact that the kernel is good for daily driver and battery saver doesn't change the fact that in heavy load(with btw many games require from our devide nowdays) the performance is handicapped. I putted quite few hours with different tests so please don't "spit" on my efforts to give useful information to our lovely dev so he can have a chance to improve the already good kernel. Cheers.
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Absolutely agree. This kernel is stellar in performance and power, especially considering it is essentially a hack-job.

Expecting flawless performance is both a touch much and also a little ungrateful for this excellent work.

Furthermore, firstly benchmark performance is utterly meaningless, I don't know about anyone else but I am having no UI and gaming issues. And secondly, this CPU behaviour IS NOT apparently the case running under ARHD 31.2.

Have your "extensive tests" included different ROM's?
[HTC One X] Alex-V:
did you try to set 620 min...this should lock 4 cores to work 100%

btw...i never reach cores to 100% with older version..but 2.2 and 2.3 can do it with set to 620 min...otherwise we dont need so much cores in normal things
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
Yes I did and while they are online the load on them is still low.

Yeah, I know, but we are talking about 1% use on 3 cores, etc. I am not talking about 80-90% or so, but for a massive drops in core use.
[HTC One X] Alex-V:
i not testing benchmark with 2.3..but 2.2 i had an antutu score from 17000 in compare with sense 4 from 13000-14500

btw...i was testing this thingy on viper witch can display the % of the core in title/message bar ...and made a Stress Test in Set CPU and than i look (with min at 620) the cores reache 100%..all 4

anyway....as i mixed some sources some things can broke...if i have time i will upload the source and maybe a kernel guro like xmister can have a look..if he will to do it for us... :)

ps...try a fstrim...this will bring alot
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
Actually I got 15500 every time on stock kernel and viperX. With 2.3 when it works right I got 17100, but I don't care about the stupid benchmark. I care about the cores behavior under heavy load demand from applications(and antutu/3dmark both demand full 100% use from cores with any governor). I use them for that purpose, as I know they quite well demand full power of the device and manage to get 100% during the cpu tests(tested even in 4.0 back in the days and 4.1 with all kinds of kernels).

If you manage to get xmister to look at it it will be nice, indeed. Tho, tbh the kernel is still good as it is now.. after all you did a great job to have the 2.3 kernel and it's quite good for daily driver.

"ps...try a fstrim...this will bring alot"

I do it regularly... I am from the dudes that beta tested it when it first came out with "lagfix" application.

I am not some random noobish user mate. :)
[HTC One X] Alex-V:
:)

btw...mpdec is made for use cores complete different...like you see it stays longer on 1 core...original hotplug make more cores online and again back with not so high load...but this want heat the phone..thats one off the things why phone is " cold"

if i got time again i will copy my source and try to make a Cpuquiet hotplug version..like koz or faux :)
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
Maybe you can try. Tho I assure you that as I was on xm kernel for quite some time(and it's with mpdec in it as hotplug) and such core behavior was unseen by me(hell, at some point all kernels started to use mpdec with give not only a lot less heat, but more performance.. did tried your kernel too back in the days+n3o kernel+trips kernel and so on :) ). Also we are not talking about core on/off with is hotplug decision, but for low load on online cores(more like governor decision/scaling problem). Dunno, it's quite strange behavior for sure.
[HTC One X] fgth90:
Heuuuuuuuuu,

Is that normal, hum?

I have no value past 1.3 Ghz
[HTC One X] high_voltage:
Maybe that's because you use 1.3GHz as max. ;)

oke i got a strange thing going on

viper x4.0.2

latest alex kernel

used the phone normaly today ,installed nothing ,changed nothing in tweaks

buttonlight where working all day

watched a movie right now for 1.5 hours on tv

after that i picked up my phone turn it on ,and now the buttonlight go not on anymore

had it two times before

it happens when i installed viperx sense 5

never had that problem with viperx sense 4

Edit:oke found the problem ,set brightness at full ,buttonlights to always on

Now i leave it for 1.5 hours turn it on again buttonlights dont go on at all

Now set brightness to auto and the buttonlights go on again

just flashed the Kernel and works fine so far.

But have also problems with the softkey LED. While charging the LEDs dont turn off and sometimes they also dont turn off if screen is turned off. I#m on Viper 4.0.2.

Can somebody help me with this?

[HTC One X] Alex-V:
i also changed some throttle things..but this file you mean is still 0 ...for me the core are a bit more active...also the performance gov is now on 100%..after 2 tests the other govs also lock 4 cores (if 51 min)...but still they lock the cores all to 100% if you set min to 620 min....

but in 2.3 the ui and mainly the lockscreen have a lag...which should be fixed now :)

[HTC One X] high_voltage:
[MENTION=770925]alex_v[/MENTION]

I ran few tests and the situation is the same in the whole board(tested it ingame with asphault 8 and it runs little bit worse than stock kernel. Just a little, because of gpu bump, but there are more slowdowns). I will attach for you two antutu scores to see for yourself how much lower is in cpu and ram operations(Yep. Actually that convince me there is just uncompatibility with old altered kernel with the new android). I am almost curtain that this is because of the "frankenstein" mode ON, but I still think it's better than stock overall.

Btw, tegra 4 drivers are not that bad at all. Didn't have single problem with them. :)

P.S. The 2.4 test on that screenshot was done with: performance governor, min freq 620, max freq 1500, deadline scheduler, etc.. it's not governor/quad lock problem. It's something else. The stock kernel was not altered in any way... pure stock.

P.S. 2: In before the rage of few comrades: I tested it will GAMES, but showing antutu score reflex more accurate on which parts the performance is weak. The situation is the same at ALL applications that requires full 100% cpu load. Doesn't mater if it's game or benchmark. Love and peace! <3

[HTC One X] chihliouma:
Hi Alex, I was using v2.3RC setting in SMARTMAX and only CPU0 (1 core) will be active after stable (means to keep it there without doing anything), but after I flash v2.4RC, I found 4 core of CPU are always active with the same ferquency which will consume more power and get heat quicker. I don't think that's right for V2.4RC. Can you take a look ? Thanks for the great kernel.
[HTC One X] lukes91:
goodmorning to all! :)

i wanted to install Alex-V 2.4RC but i have a couple of questions: do I still have to delete pnpmng form system/bin and the trip*.bin files?

moreover, in the kernel zip there isn't the etc folder... am i missing something? :confused:
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
if still not done then remove those files...and just flash the zip all is fine...

[MENTION=1171895]Alex-V[/MENTION] thanks again for such kernel :) really fast, stable and smooth love it :) also a really nice birthday gift :)

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

it's the hotplug....you can disable two or 1 core of cpu so if you think it would consume less power...
[HTC One X] lukes91:
Thank you very much! I still didn't remove the files as i'm on ViperX 4.0.2 Stock kernel... Now i'll try :) anyway happy birthday :)
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
I see people talking about deleting certain files when flashing new kernel? I usually just wipe cache and dalvik and flash modules and reflash boot.img.. am I missing something?
[HTC One X] chihliouma:
Why should I disable the core ??? What I mean is with SMARTMAX mode, there will be only 1 core on-line (active) for v2.3, but all 4 core will be on-line for v2.4 when phone is in idle. Those are control by kernel not manual. That's why I mentioned to Alex the difference.

[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
instead of asking please, PLEASE read next time few pages back....or EVEN THE OP:o ....because if you flash previous kernel like 2.2 etc not 2.3 there were the wifi files inside from trip...and because after flashing new modules they won't get deleted automaticely you need to delete them manually ....and pnpmngr, if you delete it phone wouldn't boot with 1,5 ghz max freq it would boot with that freq at max which you set before in trickster or ViperX...but only if you use ViperX you need to remove it...

[HTC One X] chihliouma:
Thanks Alex for the professional reply, although I am not quite understand the diffrence. But as an user, I do feel the power consumption increases for v2.4 under the SMARTMAX mode (c0mpared with v2.3 in SMARTMAX mode). I am just wondering what governor mode you are using for v2.4 to save power. As you know power saving is always the top priority for HOX. Thanks.

Alex, during test i found an issue: every time the phone boots cpus behave differently: apart form the fact they always start at 1300 even if i set 1000 in trickster mod and checked the "apply on boot" option, every time they work at different frequencies: once they bump from 1000 to 204, next they stuck on 1000 when screen is on and then stuck on 475 when off... never went in deepsleep nor under 204 anyway... my battery drains too fast too... on first boot it seemed to be woderful, but after second one cpus are strange... i fear i have to revert to ViperX 4.0.2 Stock :(

very sorry alex, i hoped to give you good news, you deserve them :) anyway you're doing an excellent wok considering sources are still (:mad:) no out :good:

because this kernel is really great REALLY fast...also browser seems to be faster now...and yea all is fine...battery life not that better as before but okay first charge cycle haha :D
