Hi BlueFlame4, thanks for the quick response. I have not tried the "new" 1.4 since it doesn't have the _1014 suffix and I presumed it was meant for earlier roms. This might be the main cause of the confusion. So the new 1.4 is supposed to work on Eragon 5.6, which is based on 10/14/2015 ?

Cheers,

D
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Well, I don't test against Eragon but as far as I can see and having in mind what [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] told me, it's still based on 09/09 with some parts of 10/14. So maybe go for the version without the suffix. Can you confirm that, [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION]?
[Elephone P8000] marcars:
from version 1.3 i have a similar problem with DT2W. It seem to not work any more properly:(
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Yes. Confirm that

Just flashed the new v. 1.4 again over Eragon 5.6 and I can confirm the autofocus issue is now gone. Thanks a lot. Great kernel.
[Elephone P8000] adyana:
hi....

Many thanks for your work in the wonderful kernel...been using it from v1.0 on Eragon ROM.

currently i'm on Eragon 5.6, flashed the kernel v1.4 for 09/09....autofocus works OK but DT2W works intermittently

It usually works after restart/reboot, but then it doesnt work after couple of hours and will need to be restarted.

For now i will revert back to v1.3

again ...thank you for your work :)
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Thanks for all your replies! It's pretty hard to debug things properly because there are multiple batches of the phone and each one has different hardware. So sorry if something breaks in a release - obviously I can just test on my own batch. ;)

BTW: The following might sound a bit rude but it's not meant like that: It's totally okay if people don't donate - I develop mostly for fun and to enhance the phone. What I don't understand is why there are often 200+ downloads but only 25 thanks button hits. I would really appreciate if the leechers could hit the thanks button when using my work.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
With the thanks button i totally agree with you mate!

[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
[MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION]: Is the fingerprint option removed from security for a reason in v1.4, or is it a bug?
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
I didn't mess with the Fingerprint driver yet so it should still be there. Perhaps your ROM is bugged? I've seen a thread about this lately.

Cheers!

Jan
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
That is strange. I am on eragon 5.6, fresh installation after a full wipe. Then installed this kernel. Unfortunately I am not sure whether fingerprint was there before flashing the kernel...

Ahhhhh. Forget it. Stupid me. It's all working ;). I forgot to train a new finger after wiping the phone. Logically, the fingerprint option only shows up after the system learned a fingerprint. Oh man.
[Elephone P8000] jman0:
I'm on Eragon 5.6 too and the fingerprint scanner options are still there. And they also were before flashing the kernel
[Elephone P8000] NadzmerAzrai:
hi again BlueFlame4

sorry to ask this but, can you please release another optional version which disable pocket mod and fixed the button wake up? since the latest one doesnt work because of different hardware batches.

thanks in advance :)
[Elephone P8000] Bogeyof:
I have the original flipcover and so pocket mod is bad. With old versions, you could tap on the clock hole of the cover to wake screen and see time and info for missed calls or messages...

So I also would vote for a version without pocket mod. Thanks in advance!
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
I am also having problems with DT2W. It works intermittently for me with kernel version 1.4. So it could be a case of different hardware for different batches as [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION] wrote. For now, I use Gravity Screen App to wake the phone by waving or swiping my finger over the proximity sensor.
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
DT2W works pretty well on my phone, but I now have problems with the proximity sensor pretty often. When I take a call it often happens that I accidentally press buttons with my ear because the screen is not automatically locked. Sometimes it's vice versa - after a call the screen does not turn on again so I am not able to end the call. It was definitely not like this on the stock ROM 0909, but now that I am running eragon 5.6 and this kernel I can not tell if it's ROM or kernel-related (or if my device is defect).

Anyone else having the same symptoms?
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
I'll look into this when I got time again - it's on my TODO list just below university, Soester Allerheiligenkirmes (which is the biggest local funfair around here just taking place) and CM 12.1 ;)

Inituitively I think the best solution is to build in a switch so that users can disable pocket mod individually.
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
For me, the proximity sensor function in Gravity Screen App also stopped working well while using this kernel (v1.4) so it's most likely a kernel-related issue. I reverted back to stock kernel. I miss DT2W but at least the proximity sensor works alright.
[Elephone P8000] speedtouch2006:
Reporting in - having proximity sensor issues as well, with v1.4.
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Have fun :)). We might drop by the funfair as well, it's just 60km :)

If you think the behavior of the proximity sensor is related to pocket mod then disabling it by default would certainly be a great idea! At least for me stock was working great in this respect...

Cheers,

[Elephone P8000] jasux:
hello, The kernel is very nice and works good. But there is one problem i had. I was on eragon 5.6 based on 10/14 ROM. So i flashed the 10/14kernel. The problem i had with this rom the max resolution of the front cam is 4,9 mp. now i flashed the normal 1.4 kernel and now the camera works on 13 mp. Thnx
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Eragon 5.6 is BASED on 09/09 with some parts from 14/10, so the nomenclature is quite confusing there.

BTW: The next update will be a quite big one. I'll leave this as a small teaser here ;)
[Elephone P8000] sska303:
cant't waiting any more % )
[Elephone P8000] GalaxyFan88:
Eagerly awaiting the next update! Btw. I'm quite fascinated by the stability of this device while running Eragon 5.6 and visi0nary 1.4

Never had any major quirks, reboots, bugs or whatever instabilities. However, I sometimes noticed weird smoothness-inconsistency while scrolling through menues, apps and other daily activities. Especially Chrome (Dev). The phone then gets rather unresponsive and stuttery. Again, this does not happen all the time. I have tried to reproduce this behaviour even with performance governor - with success. Doesn't do any good to this specific problem. Then again...I can be quite picky smoothness-wise. :angel:

Other than that I am quite satisfied with the overall experience. Always thinking about that crazy low price-tag and not regretting my purchase one minute. :cool:

Thanks again for your contribution guys! One question though: Would it be possible or rational to add smartmax governor? I'm asking because using it on other devices I noticed exceptional smoothness compared to other common governors.
[Elephone P8000] Bogeyof:
Anyone tried 1.4 Kernel with new Stock-Firmware 151105? Is there any modification necessary or will 1.4-1014 work?

Installed Stock-Firmware already, but had a few issues with swapped internal / external storage. I copied all files/directories from new internal (storage/sdcard1/0) to new external (storage/sdcard0). A few Apps had hardcodes paths to /storage/emulated/0 oder storage/sdcard1 (which was external SD before) and I had to change them manually, but now I´m done and it seems working...

Now I would like to try this kernel with tap2wake, but I´m still waiting for a kernel without Pocketmod, cause I´m using original flipcover and it´s useless...
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
The camera is broken again but I already fixed it with the upcoming release.

OverClock

Hi

You do know that the OC is only visual don't you?

You can't really OverClock on this Platform, doesn't matter the implementation you used, it's the board that kiks out the voltage. and CpuFreq

The only thing you can really do, is OC the memories. but, that's too much for me to explain here ...

cheers
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Hey!

I gotta investigate on that - thanks for the hint! Jeeeeeez, Mediatek :(
[Elephone P8000] superdragonpt:
Welcome to Mediatek mate ...

cheers
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Wouldn't be much of an issue for me as I'm more the usability than the "I HAZ UBER SPECS" guy but still... Qualcomm did this as well for some of their processors, e.g. the SD 400 can't be overclocked as far as I know.

[Elephone P8000] fire_of_mind:
I was wondering is it possible to change notification led brightness? I read its possible by changing something in the kernet... is it true?
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Yes I would like the same to....to make it brighter...

Or can we add a max current file in...sys/class/leds....?
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Brighter!? Sweet Jesus, I'm already getting blind because of this thing! Anyways, I'll look into a possible solution to adjust the LED this weekend. Sorry that I didn't release yet but there are more important things at the moment going on ;)
[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
Be careful mate, you might get some complaints about light pollution from local residents if it gets any brighter! It needs dimming if anything, but it would be sweet to have it turn off or atleast more dim when charging.
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Gravity box sorts out the charging light for you....it's just in the day time it's very hard to see when blinking for notification...
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Could be [MENTION=2524099]Damoedge[/MENTION] wants it brighter so as to see the led on a bright day or in the sunlight ?

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Thought so.
[Elephone P8000] fire_of_mind:
it would be awesome to make led dimmer when it is "home button" and brighter whet its blinking because notifications... :DD
[Elephone P8000] superdragonpt:
Nope

The only thing it can be done on this matter, is changing the default led color with one of the support colors by the device

i.e: notifications from led green --> Led red

but, it's just a waste of time, you can use software app, to change this... (lighflow for example)

cheers
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Can't change color....hardware set....but I believe that if the light breathes/fades away there must be a way to control it...I'm sure there are some values somewhere to be changed...;)
[Elephone P8000] tiltkoko83:
its controlled by sysfs trigger. it should not be hard to play with it.
[Elephone P8000] mtiny:
flashed visi0narys_kernel_v1.4_1014.img phone worked well but lost proximity sensor after enabling DT2W using Trickster Mod.
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Is that within the kernel or file system itself?
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
After some extensive testing it looks like you're right. We can only go lower but not higher... And now off to something completely different!

There's a new version of my kernel available - yay! But this is not the only change I made. I'm also releasing an app called vTool with which you can tweak all kernel settings in a convient way. No more shell inputs!

Oh yes, and I also unified the kernel installer which means you don't have to search for the "right" version - it will automagically determine it itself when installing!

Changelog

* Added Anykernel
* Added ThunderQuake Engine to control Vibrator strenght
* Added Dynamic FSync for better performance!
* Added init.d support for ROMs supporting it
* Removed 1.5 GHz step

Have fun with the release and report errors if you find any! As always the kernel and app can be found in OP.

PS: vTool will also come to the Play Store soon.

PPS: FlyMe is currently not supported, use v1.3 for now please.

[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Overclocking isn't real, the MT6753 can't be overclocked which is why I removed that option in 1.6.x again. I'll see what I can port to P6000 Pro when I find time but this is my very lowest priority to be honest.

Call problems

Hi Blueflame

I flashed your Kernel ver. 1.61 with wiped cache and dalvik cache on the latest Eragon Rom 5.92 and I have problems to make calls with activated D2TW and pocket mod off . If I get a call the phones notification led and the screen doesn´t lid up. By deactivating D2TW everything is ok again.

Can you look at this`?

Thanks
[Elephone P8000] pitrus-:
I still think the problem behind this is a faulty proximity sensor. Just like mine, it kinda "hangs" on either sensing or not sensing proximity which makes the phone either not wake up during incoming call or wake up while in the middle of a call. As one can see in the MTK diagnostics, the proximity sensor is running wild and sometimes stops giving readings until one taps the sensor quickly.

Am I the only one experiencing this on the P8000??
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
I think it's an init.d test script if you are using Eragon latest Rom...;)
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Sorry but can I ask this....if it's not actually overclocking the cpu why does apps like set cpu say that it is and why does it feel so so much quicker at 1.5 then...because I noticed a big difference here? ?

Also I know I asked already but is there a way to have the choice to make the home button led brighter? ...someone mentioned that maybe playing with sysfs might work but I don't know where it is....any direction on this would help...

Thank you so much on your hard work.
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
No worries, questions are always welcome if they haven't been asked yet :D The point is that I even went up to 3 GHz in testing versions which is totally impossible and the phone didn't crash. Thus I'm pretty confident that [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] is right and the overclocking is just cosmetic but not real. A counter argument here might be that the MT6753 does actually support 1.5 GHz officially so I need to do further tests and maybe it'll come back - I just don't want to implement things that I don't fully understand.

My proximity sensor is acting totally fine but I read a lot about it behaving quite stubborn sometimes.

This can also be the cause, yep.

Can someone confirm this behaviour?
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Can confirm the erratic behavior of the proximity sensor. It's working fine on stock, so it can not be hardware related.
[Elephone P8000] jman0:

Installed Eragon 6.1 beta and thought your kernel was working(after disabling pocketmod) but sadly it seems to work for a while then stop like some others have mentioned - remember I am on the oldest, worst hardware version of the P8000;) kernel 1.1 seems to be the best but no init.d support of course. On the upside my battery does last longer due to the screen not waking itself up all the time!
