Hi

I flashed 4.7 today and using tickster ,

no problem at all

but k have to say I dont use any scripts,

Need Help...

Im just flashed the skyhigh rom 3.5+this kernel 4.0.7b and i got 2 problem:

1. Suddenly chraging become extremly slow, it took 4 hours from 48% to 100%.

2. The phone keep restarting over and over if i leave it on standby. just wait about 10-15 minutes, and it will restarted. wait again for the same

time, and it will restart again till the battery drained. :(

do i made a mistakes?? anybody please help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Assuming you followed the ROM Installation Instructions EXACTLY with full wipe option using the correct recovery version.......

1. Don't flash kernel immediately after ROM. Only after first boot.

2. As per installation instructions, ensure no tweaking apps or scripts installed.

3. Read again (I assumed you read it, and the rest? ) Post #3 "ISSUES" section. I posted this info just a few posts ago !

4. Try legacy version (v4.2.0)

5. Back to stock

Best of luck :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] schen:
Ahhh...look who is talking? Do me a favour will you and look at your participation in this thread...thanks....good developer...antutu was beter now....you are doing nothing good other than to please UITA ego. I poimted out most of the bug even though some take sometime before he admit it. I was simply told UITA that for me the "weird stuff(actually I already explaIn the problem before mentIonIng weIrd but UITA IS UITA. Ego talks)" can simply be solve with an increase of the gpu voltage. I even tested it again running default UITA value vs my value during his "break" through pm to confirm infact my tab cannot take too much under voltage. If it help others great if not it is not going to hurt except maybe UITA and I dont care less. Actually there is some problem with regard to memory but alas I am done with him. Let him or other find it for him.

So what about you. What is you contribution? Dont know what is init.d? Dont know your io scheduler actually defaulted different for internal and external? Never have green tint problem? Never tweaK throughinit.d? Nuf said.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
The GPU voltages have NOTHING to do with the "screen off reboot" issue. It's been reported AGAIN in Post and PM. It is the 5-step GPU implementation !

I only increased the voltages because of the Troll "WEIRD" reported issue ! Ungrateful sod !

Troll, please go and exterminate yourself from this thread as you seem to know-it-all.

Edit: It would be appreciated if someone could please report the Troll post, as it's neither constructive to development or encourages it. I have the Troll on ignore, so that option is limited.

The troll is just ungrateful and disrespectful to the time I've put in here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] schen:
Dont worry UITA....it is not the first time you call me troll but the fact is it is you started this exchange...I lough my arse out seeing as you yourself being warned by the mod in your other "rude" exchange with other user you branded nobs....nuf said. Bye

The best part is I am not even talking to you. I was simply laughing at at usual licking arse post by ioumion whatever.

SUSPENDED DEVELOPMENT

Real life responsibilities / priorities are in force for the next couple months.

If you have issues, please read Posts #1-3, in particular the Installation Instructions & Issues Sections. The last change-log and few thread pages is always a good idea too. Most questions and issues can be answered by just reading ;)

If you can't manage the above, you shouldn't be flashing it.

I haven't managed to successfully upload the latest release, will keep trying when able.

Best of luck :)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
v4.8.0b is uploaded.

Please delete the /data/.siyah folder (if you have from previous version) immediately before flash and don't restore any backup profile.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] frogeed79:
thanks

No random reboot..stable
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] skycruzer:
tar file not available

Hi UITA,

I'm not sure if anyone experience this, but I'm unable to get the dl for odin tar file. Says file deleted.

zip file is okay though.

thanks UITA for all your work done.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Seems dev host somehow deleted it :eek: Strange since I haven't even logged in or touched it....

Anyway, I re-uploaded it now
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] B4R7H:
Dear UITA ,

after install 4.8.0b using Odin my device didnt rooted i cant use ROM Toolbox
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Did you read the ISSUES section and try unroot and let the kernel install root on boot ? Don't forget: DO NOT install root if flashing via recovery, let the kernel do it on boot.

As you can see from the attached screenshots the app works fine. To test, I even deleted busyBox from all ROM locations and full unroot, and flash kernel stock kernel and then SkyHigh kernel with no issues. You can see full root access and installed busyBox.

There is no difference between the P6800 and P6810 kernels except for ROM partitions and disabling of modem for P6810 version. There should also be no difference between Odin and recovery method. zImage is identical.

Edit: some screenshots didn't attach, doesn't matter, the app works and granted SU permission as intended

Cheers,

UITA
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] B4R7H:
its confirmed UITA...ive wiped my device 6times today and load ur kernel and still no luck on root....even ive tried the cmw still no luck....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
So does SuperSU install after kernel flash? What does the app "Root Validator" say? If you can please provide a screenshot from the app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] B4R7H:
no SuperSU affter flash the kernel and i did install SuperSU manually from play store..but end up like this.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Can you please get rid of the downloaded SuperSU app (it doesn't root device by itself) and post a screenshot of root validator app directly after kernel flash.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I'm getting tired of you PM me with useless things that can be answered by actually reading and researching oneself.... If you bothered to read any kernel thread posts, you would realize I'm away working and unable to test myself on a device I DON'T ACTUALLY OWN (P6800) or USE ANYMORE (P6810).

I am not a 'Mind Reader', so Users will have to help themselves and since the kernel thread is still development, requires good feedback (data and testing - instead of whining), none of which you have yet provided. I don't care what daniel does, that is up to him. I'm not going to keep spoon-feeding users in a development thread anymore.

v4.8.0b is BETA and it's for advanced users ! That's why in the end I told you to revert to v4.2.0 (and be happy with it). With attitude like yours, maybe I won't even bother finishing the kernel when I return home. I won't bother "wasting" anymore of my precious personal time.

Recognised Contributor doesn't imply that i am here to provide a personal "service". This does not make it an obligation, but I help out this forum if capable and in MY OWN FREE TIME. I have spent A LOT of time researching and learning, so just asking the user for just a tiny fraction of that is not a big ask. Is it?

Please don't PM (22x) me anymore for help. I asked you many times to post in Q&A or the kernel thread if being constructive. You are (edit: now) IGNORED.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
IF - I continue with P6800 kernel, I might (not in any particular order):

1. Revert to 4-step GPU with stock voltages for 160-267 MHz.

2. Try again to use MPLL mode as "default" with VPLL mode switch still in ExTweaks. Tried before, but kernel didn't like it..... but will try again. I like VPLL, and it will stay as option or default either way)

3. Default GPU frequencies possibly 160-200-267-400 MHz. Users can easily UV/UC/OC GPU etc to suit themselves now (unlike before).

4. Will just have 2 profiles available, "default" and "SkyHigh". "default" will have most ExTweaks disabled. "SkyHigh" will have enabled what works for me. :)

5. I know I can fix ExTweaks CPU voltage control without too much bother

6. Frandom as loadable module (rather than in-built) and Entropy (make use of havenged binary from CrossBreeder) both as switchable options.

7. A few other ExTweaks options and bug fixes

8. Tidy up of unused code from dorimanx SGS2 kernel initramfs source.

9. Some other modules as ExTweaks loadable options (rather than in-built); Xbox, NFS etc. (CIFS & NFTS remain in-built).

These will probably be the main priority in any next beta release, so should sort out most issues. The point of the ExTweaks is so user can configure kernel for themselves, experiment a little to find out what best suits themselves. ;) It'll be another 4 weeks before I get a chance to play, but I'll be busy with personal life too. I'd prefer to finish this kernel and get it to a final release, who knows ......
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] scoobydu:
I wondered if apt-x remains with this kernel?

I'm assuming not, but wondered if anyone had tried?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] arinsms:
awesome kernel, many customization can be done, probably could take a month to look it all. Benchmark is awesome, even faster than my note 1. Great job TS
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Thanks, but still needs some work yet. As stated, the current ExTweaks release is still beta and may not suit all devices. As per my previous post, there's a list to start working on when I'm free again. ExTweaks has given loads of options, but feel there may be some conflicts to sort out with some of the tweaks etc.

Cheers,

UITA
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Bug "Fix"?

For those using the ExTweaks beta release: I think I've found the culprit to the significant lag when installing apps from Google Play. Try disabling Cortex Background Services in ExTweaks, apply and then reboot. Please let me know if you see any improvement.

I may get rid of it in future release and any associated screen off profiling. Just makes things overly complicated for a simple kernel. Don't worry, there'll be plenty more to add and fix ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Ok. This kernel isn't dead just yet. I've just returned home for a week, so will dedicate some of my "free" time to fix a few things.

Already done;

1. Returned to 4-step GPU to help with user compatibility.

2. ExTweaks default = GPU MPLL mode to help with user compatibility. Max 400 MHz (VPLL mode still optional & max 520 MHz)

3. Adjusted some GPU thresholds

4. Fixed ExTweaks CPU VOLTAGE CONTROL !

5. Two user ExTweaks profiles, UpInTheAir & SkyHigh default. SkyHigh default will be "default".

Loads more to do and bug fixes !

Hopefully an update within the next week and some plaguing issues are put to rest ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Heads up! Next beta isn't that too far away.....

From now on, will only release flashable zip for CWM/TWRP Recovery, no Odin .tar. If you wish to flash, suggest to flash an appropriate custom recovery first.

Why? Because I've added to the update-script lines to automatically delete remnants of any previous kernel profiles etc, making a (hopefully) trouble-free installation..... Since I've just today purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (LTE), I won't be using my P6810 (borrowed from Son) to watch movies on the go anymore. Hopefully I can leave development of this kernel in a useable and clean state. The ExTweaks still needs quite a lot of clean up of useless and disused code. I will see what I can do.

IF ANYONE WISHES TO TAKE OVER THIS PROJECT, PLEASE PM ME AND WE CAN DISCUSS :)

+ + Edit: New kernel beta release Sunday 16th March ++
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kriegschluesser:
ExTweaks

Im just wondering, im tuned my galaxy with extweaks. After i click apply setting, and click back button. Its change back into default setting. Is this normal? or should i using home button instead back button?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
The name of the profile in use won't ever change unless you change from one profile to another (ie. default > battery).

Changing values will not affect the actual profile name. You can't personalise each profile name, just their values.

Yes, you should use the back button to exit and manually restart app (after x secs) to show the new profile. Don't forget, some values may need device reboot to work. Using the home button will just keep ExTweaks in background and will not show the new profile name, that's why app restart (exit - open) is required.

Just woke up, so hope I wasn't "clear as mud". :)

Next release. ..

Expect another release around weekend. Whether it's "final", not too sure yet. Still cleaning up, adding/removing and fixing code. For sure, the ExTweaks release will be out of beta stage. ....

Edit: There's always something to do, but somethings will unfortunately never get implemented due to skill and or time constraints :(

Once the first 7 days are up on my new Note 3 SM-N9005 (replacement warranty period), I will be rooting it and giving it the XDA "treatment" :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Prepare for update sometime tomorrow :)

A lot of code fixes, additions and cleanup. Just don't feel like compiling a release version tonight. I might Flash my P6810 to P6800 partition to test first.

The OP needs a couple hours work too. ....

Although there are still a few things I'm working on, this upcoming release could be the last kernel. This weekend is probably my last in the 7.7 forum and will be moving on.

Cheers,
