Why my device cannot mount HDD my rom is Resurection Remix 5.6.5 with kernel FlareM NH v1.8 ??
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
you will probably need to use a y cabel to do that, our output power is really less and it cant power an external hdd
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hobie99:
xosp reboot

Im using xosp 5.4 and flareM 16.4 xosp and sometime when im playing games like clash royale and final fantasy exvius the phone is rebooting. In a day there are 3 times reboot happen when i play them. I tried flareM 17.2 OC xosp but no luck.

I have to roll back to the stock kernel and the problem is solved. No reboot anymore.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jade01win:
Ya i know but when i plug the HDD with Y cable and plug in my device just cant mount, but when iam move to secondary ROM (JARVIS ROM LOLIPOP) my device can read the HDD why?? Wheter problem on ROM or Kernel??
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
nothing from kernel side for that, must be some issues in fstab. I will have a look :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jade01win:
What the fstab?? Please can you tell me about that?? [emoji1]
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
it reads the directory partition, I am guessing it to be vold or fstab, vold mounts different type of partition.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jade01win:
Ohh can you fix my problem?? [emoji13]
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
totally depends, but I am not sure. I will try it out :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] manuprakash:
Some problems with animations on cm13. Mainly experienced when pulling down notification drawer , swiped lock screen etc... Animation when switching to allapps drawer from desktop (trebuchet launcher) is also disturbing.

These where not experienced before flashing flareM. That's why I report.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BerkeKan:
This problem is about LiveDisplay feature. If you turn it off, there won't be any problem.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] manuprakash:
OK
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lucifero13:
Flashed this kernel with Resurrection Rem. as my ROM and i have Xposed installed. Got myself into a bootloop. Did I do something wrong?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:

Live Display Workaround

[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]

Found a way to escape lag while live display cycles to night mode.

Setting the min gpu freq to 266 from 200 does the trick.

Looks like livedisplay puts pressure on the gpu for rendering the color tint.

Maybe you could make the simple_ondemand governor a little more sensitive to gpu demand.

It should solve the problem though battery impact will be unknown. Its fine here (4.5hrs avg).

FlareM is more stable that it can ever be. If livedisplay is fixed then you can release a final stable & move on to better things.

Since [MENTION=6046415]Niropa[/MENTION] discontinued AOSP maybe you can takeup AOSP once your're done with FlareM & FlareX because having DU without AOSP is like having RR without CM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
sweet ;) I will change that to 266, I don't think it will cause any great effect on battery. My exams are going on, last is on 19nth May, so probably only after that I will be releasing a stable build. As per AOSP, I am ready to give it a try :) Currently I am even working on making custom toolchain for compiling our ROMs. I will be trying to bring XPOSED support back once I am done with my exams :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Hello Say99, does zenfone's CPU work by pair? I've observed that if core0's freq increases, so does core1, and same thing with core3-4. Is it possible for cores to work as individuals rather than pairs?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
I tested single cores, and it will rather bad and more battery consuming since our cores love to take a bump to max frequency, and alteast one core (if single) will be taking but bump at anytime consuming more battery.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
also currently they work in pairs.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Dan_Jacques:
I think the Intel's "hibernate" command isnt efficient as the ARM ones.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Do you still have the build where the cores are treated as individual cores instead of pairs? Or is there a way to do that on my own? I really want to thoroughly test it out since my mind is really bugging me about this LOL
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
haha yeah, intel is quite powerful, but intel is messy.

I still learning, and once I find a good method to regulate the frequencies, we might be able to squeeze more on battery.

I can compile a build for you :)

will linl it you soon.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Oh, that would be awesome! But please, I know you're a busy guy, so by all means, put my request to your lowest priority. Even if you're feeling lazy or don't want to compile it, no problem! This is already an awesome kernel, and my request is just a brain itch lol. But, thanks so much in advance! :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
haha no issues man ;) its just my stupid exams are going on. And don't worry I will drop you a build in an hour or so ;)

here you go mate : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2DVhZKJ05fLOFlVUnBkVTdSLWc/view?usp=drivesdk :)

update me with your experience.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]

Have you sent a pull request to the KA dev so that our gpu and brightness mods are supported natively?

It would be really nice if we could download our Ka through playstore after a clean flash.

How goes the testing with the new core management? What's the review?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
I did that long ago https://github.com/Grarak/KernelAdiutor/pull/390

but seems like he hasn't been active since a long time.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Hey [MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION] looks like the battery display circle hangs in the 13/05 build of CM. Anything to do with the kernel?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
See ss.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
nope. Nothing from kernel side, might some minor UI bug in this build.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lucifero13:
I cleaned wiped and flashed CM13 without xposed and still failed. Am I missing something?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Wo11ven:
If you are talking about the message after the installation, it's a prank.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Sorry guys, just woke up. I'm currently downloading the test build along with the new CM13 update. I'll keep you guys posted of how the kernel feels. Again, thanks so much [MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]!

EDIT: first impressions

-For gaming, FPS was noticeably lower, but it's actually, for some reason, more stable. Sprites on one of the games I play doesn't give the usual freezeframe of FPS drop.

-UI performance is pretty much the same.

-I can't say on battery life yet. Need to observer longer

*Oddly enough, I experience a slightly better gameplay with hotplugging turned on.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] basdriver62:
I know that the CPU speed is significantly better, but RAM speed is somewhat slower and GPU speed drops a little bit. I attached my benchmarks (I'm using the latest build of Temasek). The benchmarks in order are FlareM V17.2 and 17.3 and I am using [MENTION=5897149]kos4all[/MENTION]'s newest Interactive CPU governor tunables if that helps.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
I was expecting that too since the cores are now treated as individuals. I just clean flashed everything just to negate any negative side effects from dirty flashing. So far so good when it comes to UI, no lag at all. Just downloading some stuff and games and I'll see if it will give a different result.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
I can't relate anything with FPS drop since if you have a look at your cpu freq in KA you will notice how it is bumping to max.

With hotpluggig on it bumps more.

I already had predicted that the difference in performance won't be much, its only the battery that is bugging me.

keep testing ;) and keep informing us.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lucifero13:
I feel ashamed lol thanks

@ all also

I found many types of v16 in the dl page of flare. What should I choose and whats there difference from the other?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
why using v16?? v17.2 is hell stable. Use any of v17.2 build (in test kernel folder) if on XOSP use XOSP build ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lucifero13:
Im new to custom kernels in zenfone 2. :) I couldnt find the cpu governor after flashing the kernel. Where can I find it?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]

Our custom KA has stopped working on 13/5 build CM. It's giving an fc.

Without that standby battery is draining badly & phone gets warm with normal net surfing. Guess this proves that hotplugging helps with standby drain.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
can you take logs logs?? I will need logs to get it fixed. CM keeps on making changes, I personally do not prefer updating unless there are some major changes. Nightlies are totally experimental, some may have good backup and some may just **** it up[emoji14]

anyways I will need logs to exactly know why KA is crashing.

use kernel audiotor to set up things.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hobie99:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION] hi, sorry i dont want to bring this up again but i have no answer right now. I posted a reply when using the v16.2xosp got frequent reboot when playing games like clash royale. And tested the 17.2oc xosp, the same happen.

Currently on xosp v5.4.

I used xosp v4 with flareM v13 and I loved it ?.

And now i have to roll back to stock kernel and it sucks.

Thank you
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
I don't know if I misses it or what, can you take logs in a bit different way?? connect your phone to pc

adb logcat > log.txt press enter as soon as you start playing and end it as soon as your phone crashes.

I am on stock so cannot test it, will require you to help me out :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BornToSowDeath:
A little offtop:

What's the difference between Z00A / Z00D / Z00AD? On the box I have P/N: 90AZ00A1, on the battery Model: Asus_Z00AD

(ZE551ML)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]

Here are the logs. Search for 14.38 time in the main log and the 14.36 on the event log time on today's date for the crash.

Looks like could be the nightlies fault but it's never happened before so take a look at it. It's something to do with a draw able exception because an xml file was not found
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MK73DS:
Maybe because just like me he wants Xposed support ^^
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Just want to update.

[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION], contrary to what you said, my cores rarely bump up on light tasks, even though I'm using the interactive governor. It bumps up when cold-launching apps, but once it's in memory, switching to them rarely bumps up the frequency passed 1ghz. I'm not sure if its something on my device though, since you've already tested this and your core freqs keep on bumping up.

Battery-wise, pretty much the same as far as I can tell. Also, I can now assign a max 4 threads on SDMaid. Before with paired cores, I can only assign a max of 2 threads, so I think that with the cores paired, some apps *may* have only treated the CPU as a dual core.

The settings I'm using:

CPU: 333mhz-2.33ghz -- Interactive -- Hotplugging disabled

GPU: 457mhz-533mhz -- simple_ondemand
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
Z00A/Z00AD are 1080p models of zenfone 2 with 2/4gb RAM and 1.8/2.3ghz cpu, Z008 is 720p with 2gb RAM and 1.8ghz CPU.

ok, will look at them soon :)

XPOSED support coming soon, gonna fix it after my exam

I will give a test again ;) will make the change for my stock kernel and will test it.

Maybe it is quite possible that at that time I hadn't made any changes in the CPU freq functions cause now we have a far better CPU utilization function and drivers.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BerkeKan221:
I've been having so many random reboots while having WhatsApp calls on v17.2, CM13.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
recent CM builds are broken, they have a lot of issues. FYI on today's build you cannot power off your phone. Why do you guys keep updating even when there are no major changes made and you already have a stable base??
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BerkeKan:
You're right. I couldn't power off my phone today. Which build of CM13 should I use with v17.2?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
got no idea about current CM builds :( I am on stock. check CM thread you might more info ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MK73DS:
Yay thank you very much for all your work :D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] krasCGQ:
Giving a hint to you:

I upgraded Temasek's Unofficial CM13.0 to 20160511 build and this bug occurs. You need to flash a build before 20160511 (2 days or more).
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] DeKwaN51:
13/5 cm build has fixed lockscreen glitch, i think that is big change cause the issue appear and not bren fix since mid April build lol.

so, imma cm13 user, ze551ml 2gb ram. what flarr version work to me? 17.2? and i dont know what the use of custom kernel. OP, pls give a noobies answer cause with that way, i will understand what u said lol:victory:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION], after a couple of days testing the test build, it doesn't look like individual cores are worth it compared to paired cores for now. Though multi-processing was better, overall performance was a little bit sluggish, especially on gaming (not sure why). Battery drain was pretty much the same.

All in all, individual cores have potential if optimized. For now, paired cores may be the way to go.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
custom kernels are a feature packed thing for your device, so that you can have more control, more tweaks, more power, more performance, more stability, more and more things, they open up vast world in which you can tweak things according to your own wish, like selecting custom governor, I/O scheduler and all. Hope this clears it up.

for features read the first post.

alright, I still haven't tested it on stock. I will see what all optimizations I can do :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
Alright! If you're going to test, you might wanna take a look on how the cores scale up. From what I observed, they're too conservative, even though the governor is on interactive. That may be the cause for the sluggish performance :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
that's what I am planning to do :) I do have a sweet idea, but I am not sure if it will work. Last exam on 19nth May (and my girl's birthday is on 23rd), so probably gonna bring in good things right after that ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BerkeKan221:
When I flashed, it said "Installation Failure, just reboot and enjoy"

What does "failure" mean here? Is there any problem with the way I flash? I just flashed it, wiped nothing. Do I need to do anything else?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lowsum:
This message is just a joke from the dev ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MK73DS:
Does 17.3 brings back Xposed ? :D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
don't use that, that was meant to be deleted. And no xposed is still not back, will work on that after 19nth :)

ok now it deleted ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MK73DS:
Haha okay no problem man :)

That's just the OP having some fun with the feint of heart if you're talking about the message you see after flashing FlareM in recovery. Just reboot and you're all good :eek:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] miki117:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION], I did a quick experiment and it looks like interactive-based governors are broken in the test build. I'm currently using wheatley and the cores scale very well. Other governors tested (intel and darkness) scaled pretty well also. Its just interactive and yankactive that's not scaling properly from what I see.

PS. I tried to set all cpu/gpu governors to performance and gaming was awesome!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
my interactive is quite different, it works on loads, it will scale quietly when ever needed, its actually balanced for performance and battery. BTW I am gonna release another test build (no xposed support) but highly improved performance :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
new build (test v17.3) uploaded, high performance improvements. Uploaded it just because my exams got over today lol. Xposed fix coming soon :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
[MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION]

So v17. 3 is for performance at the cost of battery or you just fixed up some code & made everything faster?

Also guys Is our custom KA working on the more recent cm13 builds?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
battery is still the same :) and no about if KA is working on recent CM or not. Just did some work on performance without costing anything on battery.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] say99:
no, I will be back on CM tomorrow or day after tomorrow, so will fix it up properly. BTW does this one supports our min screen brightness??
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Nope but that's the only thing that the dev does not support but strangely I can manipulate settings that I thought weren't there in the kernel for example the laptop mode under virtual memory.

The dev is planning to release a new build in a few days so get in touch with [MENTION=4231562]Yoinx[/MENTION] & he'd be happy to add support.

Pretty sure he's working on it, though. Maybe it's just taking more time than he expected. Also, iirc, yesterday was his girl's birthday so he didn't really work that day.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] auliamaster74:
Which partition that i can convert to F2FS? Can i convert /system too?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] krasCGQ:
system, cache, data, external storage. My paritions are almost all-F2FS (except system).
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Dan_Jacques:
/data /cache /system

The /system needs one of these two possibilities:

1- Updater-script adopted to format /system in F2FS instead ext4.

2- A trick to backup /system, format it in F2FS, and restore the partition without formatting (via twrp)

I dont know how to do the first option. But the second is easy.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jad88:
With 551ML, 16.3 OC (I need xposed) and last Dirty Unicorns I can't format the internal storage to f2fs. For /system the backup trick works but the phone doesn't boot. It stucks at the Asus logo.
