Release date: Feb-31.
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
Plot twist : Render already released R8. Just not on this website.
[G2 Android Development] luv2increase:
Now I actually got a laugh out of that.

On another note, I think r8 will be the final release until we get lollipop sources figured out. I say this because I do not think r8 will have any bugs left at all because render is diligently tweaking it to be perfect.

We should actually be thanking reneder for his hard work. When it comes, it comes. Until them, r5 is flawless in my opinion.

Blisspop 1.9 with render r5 with stereo viper mod is just a superb combination. Thank you render.

Blackbird kernel is child's play compared to yours.
[G2 Android Development] reemar:
[MENTION=2594975]luv2increase[/MENTION] its a nice way to think but its not how things are till people tests it..

for example, Google believed that LP 5.0.0 will be perfect, than 5.0.1, and now 5.0.2 and we still holding for their 5.1...

with no disrespect to [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION], that how things are, i would like to think that it will be the best as it can be, but it can always be better, and you'll see for yourself that the crowd will want another kernel and render if he like, will give it before LP source, that just how things are..

and by saying so, i don't mean any disrespect for kernel dev.., only gratitude for it..
[G2 Android Development] berryman13:
What are you talking about giving prospective release dates for other guys work lol
[G2 Android Development] luv2increase:
You quoted the wrong person. I never gave a release date.
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
But you speculated that Render would release it in March, even though he never hinted at that.

And now, recently (just less than 24 hours ago, right?) you thought he's in a break or something.

I think you're a) just a troll b) stupid (no offense). I am dead serious about this.
[G2 Android Development] berryman13:
No I didn't.

We know when we get lollipop, so...
[G2 Android Development] luv2increase:
You need to go back a few pages and read what render said about lollipop sources. Apparently, you mist not realize that these kernels are based on Jellybean?

Now you can see that I meant r8 will "hopefully" be the last revision and all the devs can start using true lollipop sources for their kernels for AOSP/CM based ROMs. At the moment, we are all stuck with Jellybean based kernels for Lollipop ROMs. This includes Blackbirds and any other Lollipop AOSP/CM ROM available for the G2.

Go back and read. Render talks about it. We are all hoping that soon, very soon, we can start using true lollipop source code kernels for AOSP/CM ROMs.

That will be sweet and our phones will be even better.
[G2 Android Development] wcterp:
I realize this might not be the right thread for this, but since we're all waiting for R8... Is there any way to format /data to f2fs and keep your data? Does a backup in twrp also back up the filesystem, or can you just restore /data from backup after formatting f2fs?
[G2 Android Development] ZeNiXxX:
there is no way to format to f2fs without format internal Storage... make a backup on your pc or laptop or USB..

when you Backup with ext4 and restore it on a f2fs filesystem, you will get a massage in twrp that you might get problems cause of wrong/different filesystem.

I restored ext4 Data to a f2fs filesystem and had no problems

I keep getting this when i try to compile your kernel. Do i have to get linaro 4.10 since i do have your toolchain that was cloned by the command in the tutorial.

P.S: I am a newbie and for the past couple of days i am trying to learn how to compile android kernels from source. I actually want to compile your kernel using SaberMod toolchain but it seems confusing :(.

can it be integrated to this kernel?
[G2 Android Development] bbender716:
You must backup to PC or OTG. Reformatting data will wipe internal storage. Easiest way I found is to transfer all the files to my PC then reformat, then transfer them all back using the MTP functionality in recovery.

Also nandroids I believe will restore the filesystem format and/or trip an error but will not restore data and keep f2fs.

Hope this helps!
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
I know you can restore /data back to F2FS /data. I used the 2.8.4.0 recovery from [MENTION=500402]blast[/MENTION]gator with no isses. Maybe those that are having problems are using an older version.

You need to change the build script at the top. At the top you are setting variables and right now they are set to my environment. So you need to point the build script variables to the same files/folders on your computer. So for you it would be:

toolchain=/home/YourUsername/android/source/toolchains/g2-linux-gnueabi-4.9.3/bin

Also look in the other places that have my name and change them to fit yours. If you still run into issues let me know.

My toolchain is SaberMod BTW. Also I will have some organization to do for a couple of reasons. I will have a separate "work in progress" branch. That's one that may not compile properly. I will have a separate one for OSE. And then I will have "lp-master". That one will be the branch of mt latest released build and nothing more. Right now cm-12.0 will not compile since I have been using it for testing.

First one, Not sure. Looks like you can just install the APK. If you want to test it and report I would love to hear what you have to say. Second one is out dated. I have seen/used it in the path and wasn't sure if I noticed a difference on my old Cappy. Third one looks like its the most compatible and will work with Android L so I will look at it to see what it actually does. Thanks for the suggestions!
[G2 Android Development] luv2increase:
Render did you figure out the problem with vs980 and r7 relating to in call volume/sound issues made known by ppl we are talking to on other end of the line?
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
I am 99% sure it was just the changes I made to Sound Control. I am working on Sound Control right now to alleviate the problem.

Some other things to note in R8:

Makefile changes/optimizations. Trying out new flags like Graphite and such.

SELinux changes/updates

Some new governors to play with: YankActive and ZZMoove

memutils updates

Just to name a few.
[G2 Android Development] jesssiii:
No problem with that on latest BlissPop with R7 here. Nice and clear!

[G2 Android Development] :
ZZmoove. Awesome!

Release is imminent!? [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION], I just finally wiped my phone clean to convert to f2fs and flashed the test 1.8 I verified via PM with you, and now this!? Will I need to wipe anything again? I am assuming not because the partitions aren't going to change....at least it will have the official tag on it and not the scary looking TEST one!

Did you get synapse working?
[G2 Android Development] rebelmate:
hi experts

can i flash this after installing the d802 vanir 5.0.2 rom?

thanks in advance
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
lol you should be able to just flash ontop of what you have. Not sure about the issue with Synapse but profiles is working. Is that what you mean?

Should. The worse that can happen is it doesnt boot. You just get back into recovery and reflash the rom.
[G2 Android Development] rebelmate:
tks a lot
[G2 Android Development] de.er:
I can confirm this. No luck using Dolphin or stock, no problems with the download on Opera and chrome. I've filed this to Dolphin support, see if they can look into this on their side.
[G2 Android Development] MBurns2:
[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] is your kernel compiled with sabermod toolchain, right? Now i have a ROM compiled with sabermod,so no problem if i flash your kernel ? Thanks

Thanks for the reply render :). Looking forward to r8.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

I don't think the toolchain matters at all when talking about ROM compatibility. It should be fine . :)
[G2 Android Development] MBurns2:
yeah, i'm sure that it is compatible but some people say that if you have a rom compiled with sabermod toolchains it is better to flash a sabermod kernel, otherwise you could lose performance. i want to know if this is true ;)
[G2 Android Development] luv2increase:
What ROM is compiled with sabermod?

BTW, R8 is mindblowingly quick!
[G2 Android Development] PatrickMac:
DarkoBas PSD ROM is compiled with SM

Am I missing something? Where do you guys get R8 from? https://dl.renderserver.net/?dir=kernels/Lollipop only lists R7? :D
[G2 Android Development] fix-this!:
Release today render?
[G2 Android Development] heleos:
It will be released when it's ready, no ETA's. Any reference that people are making to r8 was the test release for certain devices to test f2fs functionality on the /data partition

[G2 Android Development] Musashi74:
I have a little petition. Is it possible to add support for 'STweak'. My Problem is,on all my Devices,ROMs and Kernels,i have problems with Synapse. For me it is unstable and i won't use it. I never had issues with STweaks like with synapse.But it want to use this Kernel! That's the point why I'm asking. Or exist another App with full support for this Kernel ?

[G2 Android Development] heleos:
I don't believe anything is stopping you from using another cpu control app, but render did a lot of work to build in synapse support, so we can have things like per-core settings, which I'm not sure you can do with other apps.

Either way, synapse will not be included by default with r8
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
I am testing now. ZZMoove is pretty cool but it has the most sysfs entries I have EVER seen in a governor. The problem I am running into is I think its overloading Synapse and the multi gov feature. Its causing a weird kind of lockup.
[G2 Android Development] Floodland:
Did you consider removing unused govs? I won't say removing ondemand, but I think userspace does not make sense here. I never paid attention to powersave, but we already have conservative (which fine tuned could be used as power saver). I think others could be used, but maybe you could ditch some in order to make room and progress [emoji6].

Thank you!
[G2 Android Development] schwem:
You can't even use the phone on powersave. Not a bad idea in removing a couple

I was just playing render. You know me, i digg your kernels. Just excited for r8.
[G2 Android Development] simon_lefisch:

[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Thanks! I agree on all those points. I have been on the other end for a long time. I know how much it sux to ask a question that can come off as sounding misinformed or stupid and getting burned for it. Also Its nice to detail the process a bit. This way users know what to expect. There had been times I pm'ed a Dev and then asked in thread and got ignored completely. I understand that we can be busy sometimes but You see that you have notifications. You get a list of what mentions and quotes there are. That meant they straight up ignored me. Oh well, I don't have to help users/devs like that. Thanks guys!
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Uploading R3 now. I feel pretty confident in the stability but time will tell. Especially a mass release!

* Painfully re-worked and rebuilt from the ground up to get rid of some unnecessary commits. Trying to bring more and more stability.

* Low Memory Killer tweaks! Screen On/OFF Support along with protecting core apps. I had even white-listed systemui and popular launchers.

* Added Sysfs for GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS

* Numerous KGSL (GPU) patches

* Reworked PM system to allow for even more battery savings along with stability.

* Fast Charge ON/OFF

Zach, any chance to improve/update intellidemand? For me seems that i get better battery drain than using interactive.
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Yea, in the next release. Things I am looking at add/changing

Governors: either reworking them or cutting the ones I don't think fit.

Add in the FM Radio Patches From the Dev of Spirit FM. I would like to get clarification of whether or not it supports other FM apps or if its just for his app though. He did do the work manually to get that patches created so I don't see why I wouldn't merge them in.

Any other cleanup that can be done. I want to make this kernel even more svelte than it already is.

[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION]... Loved the new kernel so far... With one problem still existing from R2

The External SDCard not found

Here is a logcat: https://mega.co.nz/#!oJskiYoD!VRHTI-GAf0KcZBcVbSuS6WRXbWkQzqi8Z2EpZuDrrCM

I highly recommend that you look at dr87 Mahdi Rom patch for F320.. And maybe look inside the boot.img .. And I highly recommend that ask [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] for help.. He went through it and surely now the answer to your problem

[G2 Android Development] 1Nexus:
Has anyone else ran into the issue of having no signal on a d803?

Says Baseband: Unknown in Settings
[G2 Android Development] r03ter:
Trying flashing KK Baseband.. after the kernel

r03ter - LG F320S
[G2 Android Development] 1Nexus:
Baseband isn't the issue. It only occurs when I flash Render Kernel R3. For example, if I use Mahdi with its own patch/kernel, I am able to get signal and have my baseband shown in settings. (For further clarification, the baseband shown is indeed the latest KK baseband for d803 variants!)
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
Any chance of adding our own apps to the white-list (maybe the package names are in a file somewhere)? I am wondering if that will help Viper4Android (randomly stops processing sound) and possibly my music apps (which seem to pause for a while when the screen goes off, then random pick right back up). But I had some similar issues on older versions of Carbon as well (I assumed memory leak issues killing the process, but that is a random uneducated guess), I love Carbon, and for a while the sound quality was amazing (very important to me since I ditched my Zune for the G2). But lately I've been having sound issues (possibly driver issues between the ROM and this kernel (I usually jump right off stock Carbon kernel and then set the ROM up, so maybe it is the ROM in general, I honestly can't be sure).

Most important to me is working Faux sound control (thanks for including this in a current AOSP kernel) and Viper4Android.

Sorry if this is a little OT. My ideal set up is staying on Carbon with this kernel, so to me I guess they are related. :p

But I did just grab the newest Mahdi, deciding if I want to go through the whole setup again.

Thanks again for the hard work. :good:

Edit: I also get hissing and crackling recently and it seems I have to lower the gain, and it seems that the poweramp control in Faux doesn't work, digital gain does, but analog does nothing).

It's just me isn't it? Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Weird, can you get a couple logs for me? Mainly local and kmsg. I guess we will see if others complain but I don't believe I made any change that would impact the baseband but you never know.

[MENTION=3191997]bleached45[/MENTION]

Yes,you can add your own apps to the white list but you will need to research the steps to do so.

I listen to audio books all the time while working and don't have such issues. I did have those issues using viper4android on my Moto G. So I am going to assume that you install v4a after flashing the room and such? Let me know how it goes.
[G2 Android Development] simon_lefisch:
[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION], just an FYI....I flashed R3 on my vs980 and trickster FC'd. Same with titanium backup and nova launcher. Had to uninstall/reinstall in order for them to work. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
[G2 Android Development] bleached45:
Thank you for your replies.

Yeah, I copy Viper4Android to /system/priv-app/ after I install a ROM/update and install the super quality driver. It usually works for a while and then stops processing (I can't fault your kernel, I have no idea what the cause is). I can usually fix it by uninstalling the driver, rebooting, installing, and rebooting again (a pain just to listen to music).

After installing R3 (D800) it is currently working and sounds good (dirty flashed over my Carbon). But the Faux Sound Control analog gain still doesn't make an audible difference. Is anybody able to test that? You can check in both the pro version of Trickster or Faux's app.

Since sound control is built into the kernel, this may be relevant if nobody can hear a difference.

And I found THIS thread about the low-memory killer. It may be relevant, not sure. I will try the app included out and see how it goes.

Thank you for the help.

(Also, I didn't have any paid apps disappear going from R2 to R3, maybe this only happens when flashing a new kernel entirely like stock to this or something, just thought I'd chime in, maybe it isn't just this kernel but going between kernels, *shrug*)

Great work, R3 seems to be going very well.
[G2 Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Just flashed. No FC with trickster and everything works just fine. Next time just clear the data off trickster and relaunch. it will work. no need to reinstall.
[G2 Android Development] simon_lefisch:
I did. Still FC'd.
[G2 Android Development] bgx:
Yes syslog. Yes it was rebooting pretty soon after booting up. Had now install clean with the new R3 release and everything is fine. Thank you!
