Just to chime in, R17 has all working faux sound if anybody was wondering.

But, I still get the audio glitches with mahdi 8/17. I know stick mahdi kernel gets them too (it may be something else in the ROM, since mahdi seems to be the only one). But on r17 they seem less frequent than other kernels but now I notice them on screen on.

But I haven't clean flashed the ROM since... Uh... Yeah.

Trying to decide if I want to try another ROM or stick with Mahdi. I miss carbon, but the unofficial builds scare me. :(
[G2 Android Development] ckyy:
It doesn't make sense to me either. I'll get it replaced tomorrow.

My phone wasn't hot. I had just started a call and then there was silence. I checked my phone to see the screen melting. I could see the black line on the right side when the background was grey. Rebooted and now it's permanent.

Something i've just noticed : I rotated my phone and the line went from black to a translucent white and back to black. Now there's another line but it's cut off in the middle (if that makes any sense). What kind of logs do you need?
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
All from syslog would be fine. Hopefully you have not rebooted since the issue accused and you rebooted that time. If so it's fine.* Still I have to say that if it is the kernel then more would report such issue but it is suspect. May have to do research on this. Thanks bud, sorry for your phone issues. Yea I got the invite to buy the one plus one. I have been seriously thinking about it. It would be so much easier to dev for. The G2 is fantastic but we have the micro issues that drive me nuts. I'm just glad I happen to have the super phone that doesn't have issues often. Still I feel for you.
[G2 Android Development] TDSJR:
Which ROM are you running?
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Liquid smooth ?
[G2 Android Development] ckyy:
I've rebooted a couple of times because i freaked out. Don't worry it's okay, i can get it replaced within a couple of days.

Edit : Holy ****, i'm running some dead pixel fixer and the line is barely visible (once again, translucent white). Will report in a few minutes.

Beat me to it. Good hope this helps other Cuz this is bull****. It looks bad for me but after research I feel better. But still feel bad for those that have issues.
[G2 Android Development] ckyy:
I hope it stays in that barely visible white. It's much better than that black :D

Something else i've noticed earlier : Animations seem kind of laggy and sluggish when i ran ondemand and intelliactive. There was also some stuttering when watching videos on youtube. On interactive it's fine. FIOPS and stock clocks.
[G2 Android Development] jeff5347:
Not to be off topic render...but how do you like LS? Is it the 8/17 ROM. OT I've been on aicp w r18' and all is going great. Only one reboot right off the bat but nothing for the last 13 hrs!!
[G2 Android Development] Matze060906:
Have you looked into my log? I ha a reboot and then the different colors and stripes in the LG logo screen. Before it boot up completely I long pressed the power button to restart manually. Then all was fine and I went back to R17. Never had this issue before and the phone wasn't hot.

If you buy an one + one you don't stop the support for the g2 or do you?
[G2 Android Development] TDSJR:
Where did you find that. I'm not seeing any active boards.
[G2 Android Development] ckyy:
Victory! The line is gone. Guess it wasn't permanent after all. It's all good now.

To those affected : You should try the app render has posted.

Oops. . .

Well there may start being new LS builds in the near future. Not sure though. . . That's all I can say for now. ?
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
I may have to look again. I did not realize you had the issue.
[G2 Android Development] Matze060906:

I haven't tried the new r18 build, but I saw people reporting the melting lg logo issue. On the new kernel does it have it auto set to on demand?

Drgravy from aicp was having that issue with a few builds because it was not set to interactive as stock.

Sent from my LG-VS980
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Interesting, no it is not set as default. Can the people having the screen issues tell me ig you were running ondemand? I have not heard of this before but I don't take anything for granted.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
I don't think it was so much using it. But having the kernel default governor set to on demand on first boot.

[G2 Android Development] abby_nitewolf:
I'm confused, so is r18 causing these issues. Kinda scared, i might be flashing back to r17. Even though r18 has been running smooth for me for a while with no problems.
[G2 Android Development] ckyy:
No idea what's causing it. I managed to fix it however. It wasn't permanent in my case.
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
I doubt it, There were hardly any changes made between the two.
[G2 Android Development] crnkoj:
Hey just wanted to report about the dt2w not working on Mahdi 8/17. It is indeed mega flakey not just with your kernel but with stock and the dorimanx/vasim aosp kernel as well. It's so weird sometimes it instantly works on 2 taps, sometimes it never wakes up. This happens to me after updating to latest, before on 7/something it was working wonderfully on all kernels I tried... So that you know that it's not really an issue with your kernel but most probably with the rom on certain devices. Mine being d802.
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
If anybody is running AICP and R17 could you check if faux poweramp makes any difference (poweramp in faux sound or trickster sound control). It worked on mahdi 8/17 but doesn't seem to work on AICP. Figured I'd ask here since it is a kernel feature. Regular gain settings work, but the analog gain/poweramp doesn't seem to do anything.
[G2 Android Development] fix-this!:
I also had the brief weird screen distortion after i flashed r18 yesterday. Happened as i booted out of recovery. Had to hold the power button to reboot again then all was fine. Never had that before. For the time being im back on r17. Hope this gets sorted out as its happening on various roms and g2 models. Leads me to believe its an issue with 18 but im no dev. My lcd is perfectly fine now.

Not really much there to cause ANY LCD issues. So I don't think that is the cause. I will say though, I am not sure what it is but its a pain in the ass and is sux. I will research to make sure non of these changes can cause such a problem to be safe though. In the meantime I will just remove R18 since the stigma is out there now . . .

Hey Render. I just recently switched to AICP and so far, no audio skipping (YUSS!)... But the PowerAmp gain doesn't do a thing in FauxSound now (it worked in mahdi, I guess I went from N5 drivers possibly back to G2, I have no clue).

Anyways, it seems Dori and Faux have been looking into the issue a little. Maybe Dori knows a quick fix?

I noticed a user had FauxSound driver version 35 on the faux g+ page. Maybe there is a newer driver to help?

I found this on github, seems to be related. It mentions setting hardware revision=1, right now the FauxSound app shows hardware revision as unknown.

Sorry if this doesn't help and is more me just complaining. But I did look it up. This is as far as I got. And I think Dori and Faux talked about it.

Thanks for everything.

Your fine. Actually I appreciate the effort in tracking the issue and a possible solution. makes it easier for me to dive into the problem! I will look it over. I have seen some updates for Sound Control but I don't know if they will help or not. There really is not much to Sound control. Its just making different functions exposed to userspace. Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] Raagh:
Hey [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] sorry to bother you but could you point to me where is (in your kernel source) the line or the code that sets KNOCK ON DEFAULT STATE ? ( example: your kernel comes with knock on enabled by default, dorimanx disabled ).

thanks a lot :)

edit: to build your kernel should i use master branch? , think i managed to build AICP with a custom kernel, not sure yet( crossed fingers )
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
There is not an "On" state. it is just coded to be "on" by default. With Stock Roms different models dont have support or didnt. Also certain Roms did not support it as well. My understanding is in AOSP for the G2, we use a hack that pretty much works on all the devices since we share alot of the same code across devices. I hope you do get it. In the OZIP folder I have setup the Loki script so that you dont need to build for both panel models. Just one.
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] hey, pretty good news! (I hope). I asked Faux if he knew the cause of the poweramp not working.

He responded with:

"yes, driver 3.2 can't tell the difference between static power amp vs dynamics. Ask your kernel developer to update to driver 3.5﻿"
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Already done. I was going to tell you I did a pretty massive update to Sound Control. Nice of Faux to let you know though! BUT I am worry the default gain may be too high since I used Dorimanx's sources. May have to test myself first. Still i think others out there were wanting even more boost so here you go lol
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Everything seems to be working fine in my test build. I have also done an overhaul on interactive which should eek out more performance but still save battery along with (hopefully) getting rid of the sound gltiches/skipping. I will have to test further.
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
You have made me the happiest girl in the world!

Just kidding, I'm a guy. The joke doesn't work the same online.

But thank you so much. I look forward to this. This phone really can sound amazing.

I appreciate you looking into it and incorporating fixes and updates. I know you have a lot of plans to get where you want with this kernel. I have no doubt you'll get there.

[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
Haha. Sorry to disappoint.
[G2 Android Development] Raagh:
Mmm i see. I m building aicp with 2 diferent kernels(Yours and Bart' Dorimanx) to test out(right now its doing the first build to see if manage to build kernel and rom together), the problem i found with dorimanx is it comes with knock on disabled by default and aicp dont have an option to enable it( you have to run a command in terminal everytime you reboot to enable it). So im thinking ways to solve this issue.

Sorry about asking you many things, im compulsive i cant stop trying new stuff ahahah
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
If you have to re-enable it each time at boot, you can either create an init script to do it for you are modify the ramdisk.

To modify the ramdisk you can look at:

service render-post-boot /system/bin/sh /init.render.post_boot.sh

class late_start

user root

disabled

oneshot

on property:sys.boot_completed=1

start render-post-boot

I added the above lines to init.g2.rc to us a SH script I use for this kernel. You could do something similar.

Update :

I got my custom AICP + Dorimanx 7.1 build booting

The problem im facing now its that stweaks app needs a custom ramdisk and im having issues building the rom with it u.u
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
#thestruggleisreal

I know what you mean. I have actually been looking into how to build my kernel inline with the Rom. You could also build the Rom with the Stock kernel that the source comes with and then build Dorimanx Then you just copy the "zip" files in the kernel into the Rom zip. There should really only be boot.img and the system folder. Just replace the Module folder (inside system) with your module folder. REPLACE EVERYTHING. This should allow you to at lest have them packaged together til you figure it out. Other than that Congrats! Glad to hear you got it going!

[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] hey, does the thermal throttling also knock the speed of the gpu down? Because it often isn't at 450. I am just making sure that that should be the cause and he setting just not sticking. Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] Raagh:
I think thats just the simple_ondemand gov for the gpu.

No need to keep the gpu on 450 for browsing and tapatalk, when there is no load the frecuency goes down and scale up when you play a game or something
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
The issues does not cause any permanent damage or anything. I am looking into the same thing and have actually let it boot all the way up like that. Then you can turn the screen on then back on and it will be fixed. I am trying ti find the reason. I am pretty close. I have not had this happen on R17 at all but thanks for letting me know. This may help me see the bigger picture.

Not Sure I have never seen that before other than the governor I use for the GPU scales the Freqs. What program you using to look at it. Dont use Kernel Tweaker. At least in AICP it was bugged.
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
GPU Max frequency in trickster seems to randomly be at one of the 3 available speeds. Maybe I'll reinstall R17. This is on AICP (Today's nightly) on my D800. I assumed it was thermal but sometimes I didn't think my phone was hot enough to cause it. Maybe I'll turn thermal throttling off for a bit and see if it sticks.

EDIT: yup, Max freq still drops with thermal off. Maybe it is the simple_ondemand gov. I don't know if the Max freq jumps back up during intense use or not. I just know when I go to check it is usually not at 450. *shrug*
