So you have that issue also in stock rom?
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
Yes, the same was with the latest stock rom directly from Elephone. P8000-20151203 via OTA and even before I have had the alarm clock error.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
OK thanks. I will investigate it

During calls, many times I finish the call or put it on hold... Is there a fix for this ?

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Use the black screen fixer. That should fix it.
[Elephone P8000] Carlito Z3:

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Are you on v7.3?

If yes do you have an icon called black screen fixer in your app drawer?

If yes. Open it and give su permissions.

It will work right out if the box.

In v7.5 i will change it to automatic . first call will ask for screen fixer su permission..
[Elephone P8000] Carlito Z3:
Yes 7.3, app launched

Skeleton could you also please fix the wrong translation? There is a category called "klangverstörung". I guess this was not meant to be.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I'm sorry to say, that is NOT a fix.

Either have BlueFlame to fix his kernel, or use the stock kernel, if you please.

It's like using a candle instead of a light bulb. I, for one, want to be able to put the call on/off speaker or to mute it - things which are often impossible to do precisely because of ”black screen fixer”, which addresses a kernel fault that does not exist in stock.

Why would you pick a leaky kernel, and then apply plug after plug, after plug, with worse results than stock, is beyond me.

Those being said, A HAPPY NEW YEAR to us all! :)
[Elephone P8000] Baron1971:
Yes, it must be named: Klangzerstörung! ;)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Should I call it klangverbesserung?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Ehm you know that the custom kernels based on stock kernel source. So if there is an issue. It's in stock too. [MENTION=4311614]Stefan Gündhör[/MENTION] maybe work for you ?!? :D
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Oh, I do know that plenty of custom kernels are based on stock indeed (not all of them, though), but it's a false assumption to say ”if there's a problem, it's in stock, too”. It eliminates the f*ck ups that are to blame on the ”customizer”. Which is exactly the case here: the stock ROM/kernel does not have the problem in which during the call the screen goes black but still remains active and causing a LOT of problems. OK? :)

That's visionary-only.

And thus you have one glaringly visible problem (plus several others, I won't get into them), which is the kernel. But you don't choose the better kernel, you patch the bad one. Why?

By the way, the ”black screen fixer” works time and again, not always.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
First of all noone here has to fix anything :)

Second, Blueframe's kernel is based on the latest official source release of the official elephone kernel (dated November 2015). You can be sure, that this bug has existed in the official sources and then of course found it's way into visi0nary's kernel and with this of course also in mine.

IF there exists any stock kernel that does not have this bug, then it's sources have not been released yet and noone here could possibly have merged the official fix yet.

But the good thing is - you can always feel free to fix the problem yourself - that's the beauty of open source :good:

I'm sure you would like to get started right away, so here are 3 repositories that will help you on your quest to the flawless kernel:

Official Elephone repository: https://github.com/elephone-dev/P8000-Kernel

BlueFlame4's repository: https://github.com/visi0nary/android_kernel_elephone_p8000

My repository: https://github.com/gueste/android_kernel_elephone_p8000
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Exactly! Thank you
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
You are of course right in many respects.

I am sure this bug does not exist in the November official Elephone kernel. I flashed it. Bug gone. Re-flashed Eragon (7.2), bug there. Re-flashed stock kernel, bug gone.

And I never said that anyone here has to fix anything. I was having trouble comprehending why someone here has to include faulty bits with accompanying pseudo-fixes. ;)

Cheers!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
OK mate. I think you don't understand why that bug is in rom . it's because I use the visionary kernel in my rom. I don't want stock kernel with its wake delay and no dt2w. The visionary kernel and Stephan's gueste kernel is based on elephone source . the source is not updated official from elephone. That means it is not possible for us to fix it. As long as the new source is out.

In v7.5 I will stick with gueste kernel.

Feel free to use the stock kernel. Or stock rom. I don't force you to use my rom!! Or my pseudo-fixes. Lool

. I provided the stock kernel on first page.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Very simple. Go into vTool (on visi0nary or guestekrnl) and disable double-tap 2 wake (and eventually pocket-mod as well (which is disabled in my latest kernel anyway)). (also check the setting for setting the settings on boot :D )

Then freeze the black screen fixer app or prevent it otherwise from running.

Problem should be gone as well. Wonder what the problem is, solution seems simple.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
[MENTION=3213753]vladoots[/MENTION]

if you disable dt2w in settings/vtools

the bug is fixed? please test it.

i checked the visionary and gueste source and its november stock kernel source
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
xD. you.... a bit quicker/faster then me! haha
[Elephone P8000] MacLaughlin:
Yeah maybe or Klangverstärkung
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Or Klangwolke!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
ok will do ;)

eig völlig sinnlos! hahaha
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Man, I think you are misunderstanding me. I more than appreciate your efforts to make this happen. I really do. And I consider you a friend.

Exactly as a friend I want to be completely honest.

You're repeating what I'm saying, up to a point. Visionary kernel has this fault. I've never tried Stefan's kernel, so I can't say anything about it in this particular respect. But even visionary was OK up until it introduced dt2w - exactly when the ”dialler” bug appeared. There's no possible logical explanation other than a f*ck up somewhere in building this new kernel - the f' ups are so easy to do and so hard to pinpoint or even identify.

Due to health reasons, I have to switch to speakers and I have to mute the call more often than not. I can't do that with ”black screen fixer” - it does is what it should do (completely disable the screen), but it also takes away all other options.

I have no need for double tap to wake, and yes, I have disabled it. After each re-flash.

I don't want to use stock ROM or kernel, just to have full functionality in all regarding calls.

And I wish I was more Android-savvy and healthier.

Cheers.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

I have tried that, believe me. All vTools options are disabled anyway, but if I freeze/uninstall the „fixer” the bug is back. And no, it's not the proximity sensor.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
so after you disabled dt2w the bug is still there for you?

its weird because i tested it many times and for me in calls it works without an issue.

edit:@Stefan Gündhör , could you look into the source. or build it up from scratch with your own dt2w codes
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I'll rebuild you guestekrnl v2.0.1 without all dt2w stuff (just dummy implementation, so vTool doesn't crash :P )
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Yes.

Sometimes it resurfaces even with the ”fixer” on top (so the screen blacks out but remains active, with no options visible). And there's no way out of it other than power button, which ends the call even if the option isn't ticked in the „Accessibility” menu. It drives me crazy.

This is on a clean install, btw.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
ok . report back if the kernel of stefan will work for you
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I will. :)

Also, in 7.3 with my newly acquired ”smart cover” (the official one with the magnet included and no transparent plastic between the hole and the screen) the buttons (accept/reject call) aren't active. They appear, they ”drop shadow on finger-over”, but they don't do anything else - aka what they're supposed to do.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Dear vladoots,

I've just tested with guestekrnl v2.0.1 (the normal one, no extra build) and could not reproduce your problem.

I've deleted the black screen fixer app (deleted the whole folder /system/priv-app/blackscreen), rebooted, and then made calls with both doubletap2wake enabled and disabled. I did not have any problems with proximity sensor turning the display off and on again and off and on and off and on.

Can you please test this as well? Is it just my phone or don't we even need the disabler anymore in latest guestekrnl?

[MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] can you please test this as well? Even with doubletap2wake enabled and missing black screen fixer, I have no problems with proximity sensor in calls under 2.0.1
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
There are 2 batches of the p8000. Thats why for some it works and for some not.

Without the black screen fixer my proximity Sensor will not work good . with it its fine. I will test more tomorrow in your 2.0.1 kernel. With and without dt2w and black screen fixer etc... Gn8
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Dear Stefan.

First of all, thanks for giving this so much attention. I will give it a try next thing tomorrow (well, today) when I'll get home. And I'll report back. I never tried your kernel and I wasn't saying that it was the one with the problem.

Thank you once more.

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

Just an addition.

As I previously stated, at least with my phone, the problem is not the proximity sensor. It does its job. It's the rest of the process: the screen actually remains active - touch sensitive. So if you place the phone normally, to you ear, the screen will go off, but if you touch or rub the display to your cheek bone it will react in unpredictable ways - mostly negative ones - as if you press randomly and hysterically with your finger all over the place. A highly undesirable result.. And THAT was the bug that the stock kernel didn't have, but started with the first dt2w visionary kernel. At least for me, anyway.

With ”black screen fixer” this problem will sometimes (NOT always) go away, but it raises another: the screen goes blank/black whenever I try to get my finger closer to the screen, such as I cannot put the call on speaker or mute it.
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
My experience with the call-display-mute-bug:

I haven't experienced any error at all. When I have a call and get close to the light sensor at the front (tested it a few minutes before) the screen goes black and as soon as I move my finger 1cm away from the sensor the screen goes back on.

Same, when I have a real and not a test call. I have no problems in mute, hold, put the call on loudspeaker and so on.

So I don't have any issues.

- Black screen fixer runs in Background

- vtool Settings: Double Tap2Wake: On, Pocket Mode: Off, Dynamic FSYNC: On and Aplly on boot: On

Eragon 7.3

In case that helps?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thank you for your feedback.
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
And now something completely different.

Skeleton, could you please update Adaway for the next Eragon release?

It is still on 3.0.2 in Eragon 7.2/3. And in this version the built-in webserver of Adaway refuses to work. With the recent version, 3.1, everything works like expected. :)

Thanks in advance

Cheers

:good: of course
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Likewise, works fine for me. The only difference in my vtools settings is that I have dt2w off as I use the elephone case (with the magnet).

Thank you skeleton for all your work - particularly frustrating for you I'm sure sometimes because there seems to be so much variation in how the same Rom performs on different (but apparently identical) P8000's!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Guys. You use or need the stock buildin app permissions Option/control?

I could fully remove it in v7.5

Same with the buildin miravision screen tool.

Anyone here that use it?
[Elephone P8000] arnicika:
Yes sure. I think until Android 6 is out you should keep it

Yes miravison is activated too. Maybe the flickering screen is coming from it [emoji12]

[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
I don't use app permiossions so. But I think it's always handy to use such a feature for sensitive apps.

And for Miravision: Please don't remove it, I use Miravision with "Lebendig" Mode (stronger Colors) and it's better than the default setting. Reminds me a bit of the Samsung modes in their Galaxy Series and for me everything looks much more alive instead of "cold".
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Why not let it us a button on the Settings menu? :) (Like the IPv6 disabler, vtool, etc).

I use it to block a few apps from getting my position.

I also use Miravision to calibrate the colors to my liking.
[Elephone P8000] arnicika:
With miravison, I couldn't have said it better. Exactly my opinion. [MENTION=5895776] [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] try it [emoji6]

Permission control is always back after restart, I mean the notification, have to switch on off again to hide, that could be solved maybe

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:

[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
Try to activate and deactivate it after a few seconds. After a few restarts of the phone the notification went away, at least on my decive with Eragon 7.3
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
there is nothing wrong with it. you can simple hide it. by longpress on the notification. on the right side you will see an info icon. tap on it and block the notification. done

[Elephone P8000] vladoots:

OK, so leave them both alone: I use some permission control, and miravison makes the screen flicker tolerable (investigate THAT!) :)

[MENTION=4311614]Stefan Gündhör[/MENTION] : as promised, here is my input.

I've flashed your kernel (with wiping and stuff) and indeed it makes some things right. There are no more active areas on the black screen and when/after I dial I have access to speaker/mute buttons. But an incoming call won't lit the display, I still have to press the power button - and even then the call appears as a small notification. And with the official „smart cover” the accept/reject buttons are still useless (except now I have to press the power button in order to see them, cover still on).
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
I also notice the behaviour you describe with incoming calls - phone rings but screen stays off until I press the power button. I then have to unlock the phone (fingerprint). At that point I see the call notification - top of screen.

I use the elephone case with magnet - don't know if that's related...
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
It may very well be, Mike, but none of those problems are present in the stock kernel. Hence my respectful disagreement with the two developers. :)

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Totally unrelated and off-topic, since when and especially WHY am I (and everybody else) limited to ”8 thanks per day”?! That's stupid!
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
I think anything that is constructive benefits all in this community. As has been said before there does seem to be some variance between different batches of this phone, let alone the slight changes to configuration we all make!

Skeleton provides a simply amazing service and by far the best Rom (in my opinion) for this phone. None of us should forget how much of his own time and skill he's prepared to share with us.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I am in total agreement.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
if you use tapatalk or xda app you have unlimited thanks.

thank you.

i hope we (stefan and me) can fix that issue for you. i spoke with stefan and i tested all kind of stuff with and without dt2w & and pocket mod. also with and without the black screen fixer.. and i cant reproduce that. it must be related to the different batches of the p8000.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I've learned that, but that doesn't make it any less stupid a policy. One should be able to express as many thanks as one wants. Period. And not your fault, obviously.

I've been complaining about this since Eragon 4.something (or even 3.x, I don't remember exactly), but few people believed me. :) There was no visionary back then, no BSF. So it's unrelated to those.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
yep . thats kind of stupid. lol

and yes. but now we will investigate it. ..hope we are able to fix it......i can not say more at the moment.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I wish I could thank you once more.
[Elephone P8000] HC4Life:
So can i flash this rom with TWRP recovery image built for this device? :D
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Thank you for your input!

Then I won't be making a separate version for now, as your initial problem seems to be solved for you.

Well for the rest I'm afraid I cannot offer you a solution yet, as this seems to be linked to different hardware revisions, as skelton said, and it is difficult for me to find a solution for a problem I don't have.

I've checked the alterations of the touch-screen driver that have been made in visi0nary's kernel and guestekrnl so far and nothing seems to be responsible for what you are experiencing.

I understand that it's frustrating that such basic things don't work for you.

email app is not embed in rom right now. so you have to reflash the zip of it after you flash the rom..

2. Does anyone know why no kernel has the ability in overclocking the CPU? I mean the MTK is designed for 1.5 Ghz and runs at 1.3Ghz. Even the new kernel in 7.5 doesn't support overclocking.
