Hello blefish

may ı ask is there any solution for CMA & KSM conflict?

we (ım galaxy w user) are using same allocation method(CMA) for MM heap and sometimes KSM is breaking MM features(720p recording or video playback)

ı goggled some and ı found this:http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1401.1/00824.html

ı dont know maybe it can be useful

could you find the solution for that yet Blefish?

Thanx

regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
So the problem is still there. I'll try figuring this out today, as I hve the Synaptics panel & will do some testing on it.

You need to install stock recovery (if you check my signature you'll find MEGA downloads. Download the cust directory and extract recovery.img from there. Using pink screen you should be able to install stock recovery. Then you need to get the touch screen update binary from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21190979&nocache=1&z=8941850208211690

Install the synaptics.img to /sdcard/update/synaptics.img . Then start the recovery (note the recovery may wipe your data, make sure to have a backup). If it restarts start recovery manually again. You should be able to flash the update and get it running again.

I don't recommend installing this ROM for now, until I figure this problem out.

Hey.

This might be useful indeed, I'll test this out and report back.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sir mordred:
forgive me for my impatience :p

did you try Blefish? and any result?

also can you upload that change into your github please?

ı can easly cherry-pick that onto my kernel and then ı can try that too

Thanx again

With my best regards

Hi [MENTION=1163024]kalyansundhar[/MENTION]

I would recommend using the Optimal version as that was stable and sufficient for this phone. Enable autorun and swap and then reboot.

That I what I was using until my phone screen froze.

hope this helps

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Thanks for the update.

Changed the recovery and installed the synaptics update. The phone is working fine now.

Hope we get this rectified in your next update.

Great job anyways on this ROM

cheers

EDIT - Attached the stock recovery.img file as few PPL have difficulty in finding it.

Also, I would recommend to leave the phone on stock recovery until we get a fix for the synaptics (Just in case we have to rerun the update)

thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
Synaptics fail

I had synaptics failed twice in latest version of your rom and i didn't needed to reinstall stock driver/recovery, i just rebooted (removed batery)

I have clockwork mod recovery without touch support... Perhaps clockwork made reboot not mandatory in this case what do you think?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi FabioAreia,

Thanks for the update, however many users including myself tried to reboot the phone on custom recovery but that did not help.

I was on TWRP so cannot confirm if CWM was better to fix the synaptics issue.

We all wait for Belfish to enlighten us once is the done fixing the issue.

Thnx anyways.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
I think i found another bug...

In latest version of tune.in if i try to login my phone reboot
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tabik:
I have a problem, when I have finished installing this CM11, and i flashed GApps, then reboot the phone, I can't access any Google programs, once I clicked Gmail, it's suddenly kicked out, the app didn't stay. Does anybody face the same problem as me? Please advice..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tempius:
check your system size, maybe you are out of space.

try to install the rom then install gapps with only google play and the files needed, then if you want you can install the other google apps through Google Play.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Oto_Shan:
How to Fix: Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped in last 4.4.3? I used gapps 20140606 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tempius:
ya same as above, your system partition is full you need to get gapps with the apps you really need at start, then you can install the other apps from Google Play
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Try to clear Download Manager and Google Services Framework data then reboot.

EDIT: Clear media storage data too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New release up, enjoy!

I have possibly found out the reason Synaptics fails. Synaptics driver does not expect the power to be turned off, while it did (the power regulator was turned off by APS-12D driver). If someone with Synaptics can submit me the dmesg log after running it for a few hours (with phone in sleep), I'd be thankful.

The phone now has 399MB available RAM, thanks to the new CMA allocations in both ION & PMEM (latest release).

I noticed GApps standard package in CM is too large, thankfully they have also added a "small" GApps package. I recommend using that one, to make sure everything stays in place when updating later.

Wi-Fi driver is hopefully better too, I did not have much time to test though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rukadesigns:
Hello blw thank you ill try this update when i reach home later :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Thank you we"ll try it ASAP.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
thanks

thank you for new release, Blefish
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Installed. Those extra RAM megabytes will surely make a difference in multitasking :D

Also, I think I found a small bug. In the first 30 seconds-ish after the OS is loaded the Power Button doesn't lock the phone when I press it. If I do a long press, though, it shows that little menu.

Other than this, the ROM is working fine :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thanks tons to Blefish for his hard work and keeping us still busy with this device. Will dwnld and update shortly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Movm:
To you ideos x5 users out here: Any issues using xposed?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
I use xposed with greenify module and it works great
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Me too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Yeah this ROM is getting better and better huge thanks to Blefish for his hard work.

On latest update I have no bugs yet and BTW 400 mb RAM is very useful. Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tabik:
Please help, I've already installed the current version of cm11 blefish 20140627, but my phone keep boot-loop. It stuck on boot logo, never entry the system. I've followed all the instructions on the first page. Please advice, thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Finally the screen and battery drain problems seems that are solved at this version. From yesterday night I installed the new version I didn't mention any problems when wifi is on. I tried several times to turn on screen from standby mode and no freezes at all. I tried some times today(after overnight in standby) and no problems at all. Also seems that battery is okay(in 8 hours in standby lost 5-6%). Of cource the device wasn't connected with usb cable and wifi is on(in this situation I had frezees and very fast battery drain).

Thanks Blefish for this update!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
This bug has been around there since Kitkat I believe. I think it's because at bootup, KitKat tries to keep more RAM free, so some initialization procedures get loaded later. I've noticed that it's faster when you just boot the phone up (without touching it). I believe the latest RAM enhancements shorten the time, but there's no fix found yet.

Have you wiped /data? Did the ROM install successfully? Try to format /system, then install the ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zgulia22:
Everything is working very

good , Thank you !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
I'm really impressed by this last release. This phone has never been faster and smoother for me. Video recording/playback now works with KSM enabled. I mean holy crap, easily 200+ MB of memory in cache? That would be at most 120 in Aurora and usually about 90. So any time you open the browser every single other app including the launcher would be stopped. This alone increases the usability of this device by so much.

As this isn't my daily driver anymore I don't really get to test this ROM all that much. Is there anything that's still properly broken? There are just two things that keep me from giving this to less tech savvy people:

Boot to recovery when plugged in while off. That is probably really confusing/unnerving if you don't know your way around a recovery.

Battery percentage. Is this working OK-ish now? It will never work as well as other devices, but it shouldn't go flat on people within an hour when it says it's half full.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
Most excellent work! It performs really well and has revitalized the phone. Thank you, Blefish. :)

I was also concerned about this, but remembered that after installing this ROM with a compatible recovery, you can just install the old CWM v5 which has proper off-mode charging. It works! You'll have to re-install the newer recovery for every update, though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Movm:
Do you sometimes recognize heating?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
In normal use not...

Maybe some in extended use of GPS programs (ex Waze more than 1 hour)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The thing is, Android since ICS? wants to handle charging itself (boots Android in LPM mode), while our bootloader (lk) uses the old method, which upon charging boots recovery (but it does not start recovery binary, it starts special charger binary). Now, I actually have a new bootloader working (some have seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx05x6BwncU). It works, but it does not support vfat partitions (it reads boot/recovery from a dedicated partition). I have not published it as it requires a new partition table. So, to use the new method, I'd have to add vfat support & publish the bootloader. This would be my preferred method as it would be the "proper" way of doing it.

Another method is modifying the recovery to add the support back (checking for boot status, adding charger binary with charging images). I didn't know it was a requested feature, hence I really did not pay attention to it.

I just thought that maybe U8800pro bootloader does boot Android when charging. I might test it sometime, maybe we can use that instead.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]: Well, is there anything else still on your list? :highfive:

Come to think of it, the MSM7230 is roughly similar to the A4 in the iPhone 4. And we know how well that thing handles iOS 7. I think it's quite some achievement for a ROM built by one guy in his free time to work this well :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
In this latest update I found one bug with headset sound. During playing a music over headset, there are a lot of sound pauses for about a second (2-4 times in one song). And this is very annoying.

Before, I was thinking that this pauses is caused by Viper4android sound driver, but now I try with clean install and only use default dsp manager driver. But pauses are still there.

Otherwise, this update is really significant progress in Blefish ROM developement, so big respect to him.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Few times when I have turned on the display my wifi connection is lost but wifi is on. I can fix it by restarting the wifi.

I use the latest version and this didn't happen in the previous versions.

Logcat has a lot of these lines: "W/wpa_supplicant(29901): wlan0: Failed to initiate AP scan".

You have done great job, thank you! :)

Here's the logcat (I had to delete the first 200 lines to upload it to here):
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ideosx5:
Does art working fine?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
It works all right. I don't notice too much a difference though. If anything it's annoying. The AOT compilation kicks in whenever an app updates. With just one core the phone is pretty much unusable for a couple of seconds when that happens. Even the Nexus 5 struggles with that.

Correction: I just tried it and with the latest update lots of background services are crashing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Just notice the same thing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pl4t!n:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION], I notice that synaptics is not right again sometimes it stops and freeze a and is necessary to remove my battery. keep the good work my friend
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
Anyone with this problem or it is only me?

@ blefish: I have another problem with this update. During a phone call, I use option to notify me for other incoming call. During a phone call, if I receive another call, I get a beep notification for another call. Now the problem is, that I lost my contact with first caller. They inform me, that I put them on waiting call, but I didn't do nothing like this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ViperRunner:
Wifi not working

Even after this last update (27.06.2014) the wifi still doesn't connect. :(

It sees the networks and asks for the password all fine. But never connects.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rukadesigns:
i activated it, reboot, and i get stuck after boot animation with black screen. ad even if you flash again without wipes you get stuck, so do a backup ifyou want to try by yourself
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
Even if it works, it's not worth it. I deactivated it again, because services kept crashing. If there is a difference it's just not noticeable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Just tried the new rom and it seems faster and lighter :)

Blefish, how about making the 4 button backlights (back, home, etc) always on? Currently they just go off after a few seconds and if I am in the dark I have to guess with several tries where the buttons are. You could make them brighter when we use them (as it is now) and then very dimm (but visible) after a few seconds of no activity.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
Hi there. Dont know if you knew it, but you can change that behaviour in the buttons settings. Just put more seconds and dimme it, and you are g2g. Btw, the option in under definitions- buttons.

Have a nice week
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Thanks, not exactly what I was refering to, but good enough.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Ha, I see. It's not much of an issue though :)

I think I found another problem: when I try to take a picture by pressing the middle of the screen while recording a video, it immediately reboots the phone. I have KSM disabled, as with that enabled it wouldn't even start recording in the first place. This doesn't happen every time though, sometimes it works. Flashing the latest version of the ROM again and wiping /cache didn't fix it.

You mentioned in some post that logs are stored in "data/dontpanic" but they aren't modified when I reproduce this possible bug.

Does anyone have the same issue?

Thx :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
So the issue is still there. Oh well, keep on searching about this...

It's happening over normal audio out right now. I mentioned it in the first post. Luckily, we can possibly enable LPA again that did not have this issue. We are debugging this with other msm7x30 devs.

This happens when Wi-Fi firmware crashes. Does it happen often? I've had it once and I thought it was due to development (as the driver was not properly finished). Actually the driver should be able to recover from this, I'll look into it.

I can't say if it's a problem on the device side, or CyanogenMod side. I did one change that could alter it though. If you are able to modify build.prop, edit ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false -> ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=true and let me know if it changes something.

Possibly Wi-Fi MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:00. Open IdeosX5Settings & modify the Wi-Fi MAC address. Make sure to restart Wi-Fi after (or reboot as the Wi-Fi driver may still work, although shows it's off. It's because of the "always scanning available" setting).

This is more of a CyanogenMod feature, I haven't worked on the frameworks side yet. As mentioned, I guess the Settings->Buttons will do for now.

I got this too. The CMA over PMEM was in early stages, there are a couple of fixes that could fix this. And yes, sometimes /data/dontpanic is not showing up, when the panic driver did not write the log (it should happen rarely).

I got LK bootloader working with vfat. I am now porting the standard Android charger mode over & hopefully it will work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m!xal!s:
In my case, I will get a reboot as soon as I try to take a photo.

Tested it 3-4 times in a row (disabled overclock and ksm was disabled) and it was corrupting/deleting parts of the system, until it finally became unusable.

I didn't test video recording, though.

Everything else was superb in thiis update.

Thanks a lot Blefish for your hard work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
It happens usually multiple times per day.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pl4t!n:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION], this is weird because this synaptics issue it only happens on the first day after instalation, until now it never happened again, another thing i notice after 1 or 2 days without any reboot, the system stays with lag, but when is charging everything becomes flawless and fast, maybe the system needs some more effective energy
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
I've changed build prop, but same problem remains. Now I need to disable waiting call notification, but this is not good solution for me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
I have camera issue

In 0627 version, when i press 'capture' in camera app, my phone reboots automatically

however, thank you very much blefish
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ideosx5:
I got this too. and When I open any instagram, snapchat, vine etc. video phone restarts. please fix.

thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi

Iv been using this version from the day it was uploaded and fortunately I do not face this issue with either the Stock or DSLR camera apps

To check I continued the recording and took 3 photos, all went on perfectly.

Also, iv checked the "Allow purging of assets" option and left the KSM as advised.

Try doing it, maybe that might help

thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] selson:
unfortunately, wifi hotspot not working. back to 16/5.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dikerow:
Hi Blefish last version very fast for me. i have one big problem. When i use the phone with mobile data, battery discharges too quickly and phone phone overheats. It isn't wifi only mobile data. I have not seen any problems out of it. Thank you very much for your effort.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] toeter80:
Hey guys,

I installed the latest version on my girlfriends Ideos X5, and there seems to be one big problem (apart from many positive changes): the battery drains really quickly, and has to be charged at least twice a day. BetterBatteryStats tells me SystemUpdateService is the cause of a nearly permanent Partial Wakelock. Some googling tells me this is a CyanogenMod bug. Does anyone know how to fix it? And is this a known bug?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
I have the same problem and I think the wakelock started today not when I installed the latest update. I already tried to install the rom again without wipes but it didn't help.

It doesn't seem to be a problem only on our device: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73125

Edit:

Here's a temporary fix (may have some side effects for Google play services):

- Go to settings -> privacy -> privacy guard

- Open the overflow menu and select advanced

- Open the overflow menu and enable "show build-in apps"

- Find Google play services and open the advanced settings for it

- Find "keep awake" and deny it

- Reboot
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
I spent hours earlier today trying to workaround this issue, nice to know I wasn't the only one. I read this somewhere and apparently it worked: go to Google Settings --> Location --> Location Reports and disable the two options you have there (Location Reports and Location History). SystemUpdateService's count of Wakelocks was like 4000 after I installed BetterBatteryStats this afternoon, I reset it after applying this workaround and now it's only 3 after having the phone in idle for a few hours.

I still think the battery should last longer, but maybe it's my expectations that are too high. I bought a replacement battery on DealExtreme and just like my stock battery, it charges incredibly quickly (10% to 50% in less than 10 minutes) and discharges quickly too (even if charged to 100%). According to the Android battery stats and BetterBatteryStats, it's the Phone Idle and Phone Radio that spend the most battery. Changing the phone to 2G only really helps on this matter, as apparently the lack of 3G reception in my house drives the phone nuts.

Does the Play Store still work with this fix? I tried earlier to disable Google Play Services and the Play Store would tell me to enable them.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Yes, it will only prevent wakelocks from Google play services. Check out the instructions again because there was no need to enable privacy guard for the app so I edited the instructions.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
About the battery drain, here are my bat stats:

I call your attention to the 2nd and 3rd bars where the red arrows are (translated as Cell standby and Phone idle, respect.)

...and now look at the Awake bar (w/ the arrow):

In those 10:35 hours I only used the phone twice for checking mail and a news app, and I have turned off Bluetooth, data, GPS and location. The screen turns off after ~30 seconds and the wifi only connects when the phone is active. So those bars are simply too active, specially the "Awake" (the last one)

I hope this helps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
When you first got this phone, did the battery drain as fast as it does now? And is it the original battery?

Also, try using BetterBatteryStats to determine what's keeping your phone awake. If it's the SystemUpdateService, use zazza8's fix.

Oh, changing the phone to 2G-only and disabling mobile data has a HUGE impact on the battery drain.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
No, it didn't drained that fast, in fact less than a week ago I had an older version of this rom (several generations older, actually) and it lasted me 2 days, maybe more depending on the use I gave to it. But it was much more memory demanding and sluguish.

It's still the original battery.

I'll try betterbatterystats; and as I said before, I had data off (no 2G or 3G), the only thing that was on was the wifi, and only when the phone was awaken
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Hmm, I see. I also feel like my battery used to last longer a couple years ago, and I guess older Android versions might have something to do with it (then again, I'm far from an expert).

Since you had data off, I guess the battery drained so quickly because of something preventing deep sleep. Let us know what you find with BetterBatteryStats :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
In latest version of the rom, wifi hotspot works...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Battery drainage issues are directly linked to Play Service 5.x . The issue in CM source was causing this. It's a common issue, a workaround can be found on the web.

It's now fixed, but I released it before the fix was put in place. I need to recompile the ROM, which I'll do after I've done some additional modifications.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
I noticed if I leave my phone for long time without using it then I take a photo the phone reboots. Else everything works fine, thank you blefish.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
When i try to login in tunein app my phone reboots
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Same here. The battery drops like 40% battery overnight when I have 3G+data on, even though the phone is in deep sleep 95% of the time. Barely drops with 2G-no data.

Could this issue be connected to the PlayStore?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Well I guess Blefish already answered that. Anyhow I used battery stats plus (BetterBatteryStats isn't free :P) but I saw nothing. More strange, I didn't do anything to the phone and yet now it seems to last longer... oh well, can't complain :)
