Please notify me here in this thread, if you notice any difference in power consumption for 2.0.2, thanks :highfive:
[Elephone P8000] gnomified:
In next version can you add double tap to sleep
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Will take a look at it. Until now, didn't know that was a thing too :)
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
If you have Nova Launcher premium, you can enable it in the gestures menu.

If you haven't, you can use Gravity Box with Xposed to add a DT2S feature to the status bar.

I don't think it is a good idea to add it to the kernel, because I don't want a feature like this in games. Playing asphalt 8 with this feature could be really annoying.

Enable it means you need another deamon to monitor witch app is running and an app to managed an exclude list.

What do you think about it? They did overclock on a mtk 6582 .
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
There's no real OC for our phone, only visually (you can unlock 1,5 GHz, but it's "fake").

"Overclock" has already been advertised in the P8000 forums as well, but that doesn't necessarily make it true.

why mt6582 can do it?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
It doesn't really matter, if mt6582 can or can't - our phones can't be overclocked.

Hello , what will be the next update ?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
not a bad idea, but I wouldn't expect too many new features for guestekrnl - this kernel's main goal is improvements (smoothness, stability, battery), but not new features. the simple reason is that I don't have enough time to spend I don't want to spend much time on playing around with the kernel - and introducing new features surely includes much playing around :o

For me this is a small hobby project for my leisure time - but as I am a professional IT consultant / dev, I already spend most time of my week in front of PCs, which is why I don't want to invest too much time in the same thing (IT) in my leisure time ;)

Well, the current kernel runs very well, I'd say. Smoothness is awesome from my point of view. At the latest with next linux kernel update (3.10.9x), or with an elephone-kernel-update there will be the next update for guestekrnl. Or if some other thing comes up.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:

but after updating to 2.0.3 the app recently stopped working... anyone else with this problem?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
thanks :)

have you wiped dalvik cache and cache after you flashed the kernel?

please do this try and delete all caches for the "recently" app. you might also try deleting all app data for this app and install it freshly

last but not least you might also try it again with the new kernel release scheduled for today - in combination with dalvik wipe and cache wipe

Edit: I've just installed the app "recently" just for testing, and under kernel v2.0.4 it is starting without problems. Please report back with more details on your problem.

[Elephone P8000] GrAlNik:
Hi! Is it possible a microSD exfat support in kernel?
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
exFat kernel support

Hi, I've made a test-build which should support exfat. I do not use an external sd card, so please try and tell me, if it is working for you.

If it IS working, I will include the exfat support in my next kernel release.

A good sign is that the filesystem support shows up correctly in terminal:

Edit: kernel snapshot removed, as [MENTION=5895603]dr_root[/MENTION] found a way to enable exfat support, even on 2.0.4 kernel, so it seems that I don't need to do anything for now. I guess when he is done testing he will announce his findings somewhere.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
first user reported (via PM), that the exfat support in the test build is not working.

[Elephone P8000] :
exfat and ntfs works now on our device, the patch will be included in my next release (NEXUS V2.3). if you use the official firmware or other custom roms, you could try to flash the zip

exFAT & NTFS patch
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Thanks :good:

Careful with NTFS, afaik there is only experimental / partial (or none at all) write support.

exFAT support is cool though
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
Maybe a dumb question, but do the recovery, i.e. Philz recovery, need also exfat support when I want to flash from sdcard?

And if it so, is it a big thing to implement it?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Good question - I haven't tried, maybe [MENTION=5895603]dr_root[/MENTION] can tell us more.

Else one would need to try and/or look at the recovery sources.

Unfortunately I don't use an external SD card at the moment, so I can't test.
[Elephone P8000] :
the custom recoverys should support it (i current use philz and it works)
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Stefan,

my colleague from the Czech discussion found this P8000 bug:

After use BT handsfree or BT audio streaming (A2DP) happens that stops operate reliably DT2W . Helps new Apply in Vtool or restart phone.

Could you fix it please? Is it possible?

And. I had noticed the rapid discharge of the battery by 15%. It's still the same issue on all Elephone P8000 kernels.

Could you fix it please also? Is it possible?

Thanks
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Sorry, no. Bluetooth doesn't touch the DT2W functionality. However, blackscreen fixer does. If you own a phone that doesn't need blackscreen fixer on phone calls, remove the app from your phone.

Sorry, no. The battery indicator inaccuracy has been discussed a hundred times in multiple threads. Either Elephone fixes it, or we will have to continue living with it. It's highly unlikely that someone here discovers a fix for this specific problem, if not Elephone itself.
[Elephone P8000] :
I have try to reproduce the error, but on my current setup, NEXUS ROM 2.3 RC1, i don't have the issue with the DT2W use caused by BT. I have tested it while i listen to BT audio and also after the use (tested with 2 different devices) . DT2W works perfect. no modification was made on the kernel side. stock 2.0.4 guestkrnl

and the bug with the battery. i think that the values are just false from the battery procentege based on voltage value. we could look for example in a ZUK Z1 kernel, since they use also a battery with similar capacity.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
yeah - like I said, bluetooth is unrelated to dt2w, so there's nothing to fix. however it could happen during phone calls using bluetooth audio headset and blackscreen fixer - but this again would be unrelated to bluetooth itself
[Elephone P8000] ikarus_13:
Great news, I am looking forward of new version of NEXUS ROM
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
[MENTION=5895603]dr_root[/MENTION]. Did you saw the update from the black screen fixer?

It has a "read s2w first line" when its activating. But we don't have s2w in the gueste kernel. So the bsf stop working .and it has no effect related to dt2w in calls. That's why Stefan fixed the app, so that there will be no touch response in calls (in black screen) that's why dt2w works perfect for you.

HI! Nice work,Stefan!

Did you know about this? https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/

Can you use this this for build new kernel?
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Nice kernel, but it is necessary to repair quick discharging batteries below 10% capacity. I know, it is problem from Elephone stock kernel. On THL was the same problem. Russian named Jitvonod from 4PDA forum repaired it by kernel modifications. Could you contact him please? Maybe he could help with suggestions. Or try to use some core settings from other phones using the same MTK 6753 chip.
[Elephone P8000] :
take a look on this file

https://github.com/gueste/android_kernel_elephone_p8000/blob/master/drivers/misc/mediatek/mach/mt6735/k05ts_a/power/cust_battery_meter_table.h

i will test now, if i also have this bug. i have never noticed this, because i charge my phone when it drop down to 15%

if not every p8000 have this ( i have opened my phone, there is a small sticker inside, P8000 V3 its printed on it) then maybe elephone just ****ed up in the first batches (like with sim card detection xD) and the current temperature can't be detected

[MENTION=4311614]Stefan Gündhör[/MENTION] , could you make a test build, with all of the tables with the values of the 25 degree T2 table ?
[Elephone P8000] :
the battery drops also on my phone

(i have run antutu battery tester to drop my bettery level till 14%)
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Could you please provide me a link to the corresponding kernel thread in 4PDA forum, or maybe a link to the corresponding github commit for the THL patch? I don't speak russian, so it's tiresome for me to search 4pda forums.

Sure! Just one question - why the values of the T2 table?
[Elephone P8000] :
Because this are the typical Situation that the battery is over 25 degree. This is how it should be. But as you See, we have a bug. Thats why i want this, to be sure if this is the error or not.

I'm testing now again the 10% drop, but now i have no drop, i am now at 8%. Musik 100%, screen 100%. I make Screenshots with every % with voltage an temp.

To others, is the 10% battery drop also visible by the USA oft the phoney or just off screen?

Sidenote. If the battery drops under 15%, only 4 cores are active an the max Speed is 819MHz
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I've made a new test-build. For now I did not change the tables in cust_battery_meter, because I've found some other logic that I want to test disabled first.

@ all: Attention, this is a test build, not an official release.

Changelog:

disabled some Mediatek-logic that kicks in, when battery percentage < 15% (like the limit of cpu speed and some stuff that eventually could cause the percentage drop)

enable low core amount turbo mode (should in theory scale up frequency faster, if only 2 cores or less are used - feature is not clearly documented in kernel source, let's just try it)

Please report if you are still experiencing the < 15% battery percentage drop with this test build.

If it doesn't help, next test-build will be with modified cust_battery_meter.

Edit: test build removed, as battery bug is not solved yet
[Elephone P8000] Einstein67:
No Battery drop with 2.04!! But i've never tetsted the other versions before ;)
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:

Unfortunately I noticed battery drop, by 10%... :( I am using a development version of Nexus 2.3 ROM - uses Stephans kernel 2.0.4.

Will try experimental "guestekrnl_testing.zip"

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Stephan, thank you, I am testing it now on Nexus ROM 2.3 (non public develop version).

I noticed a decrease in performance -> 2000 points AnTuTu 39693 vs. 37589 points.ň,which is not a problem.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I've removed the test build, as it did not solve the problem with the sudden drop in battery level.

However I did like the low core amount turbo mode, guess it will be in next kernel release, and I think for next kernel release I will also disable IPv6 directly in the kernel.

[MENTION=5895603]dr_root[/MENTION] I'll make a test build with the modified battery tables soon.

To clarify it also here:

It is not possible to code the fingerprint sensor that it would unlock/lock the screen. Look at the fp folder and apk. Decompile the apk . you will see.. This can't work. Even if it is possible via kernel it would not work ,related to the fp.apk

stefan, is it possible to change the notif led behaviour? so not breathing but flash twice, or three times. maybe on low battery flash twice with 3sec delay, instead of 1,5sec...

[Elephone P8000] stefano91av:
Welcome back [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION] :)

I have only a request: can you to implement the ZZmoove governor?

The ZZmoove Governor by ZaneZam is optimized for low power consumption when the screen off, with particular attention to the limitation of consumption applications in the background with the screen off, such as listening to music. The unique feature with ZZmoove is that it has predefined profiles and allows profile switching. This governor is still a WIP as the developer is constantly giving updates! Here are the available profiles:

Quote:

1) for Default (set governor defaults)

2) for Yank Battery -> old untouched setting (a very good battery/performance balanced setting DEV-NOTE: highly recommended!)

3) for Yank Battery Extreme -> old untouched setting (like yank battery but focus on battery saving)

4) for ZaneZam Battery -> old untouched setting (a more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving DEV-NOTE: might give some lags!)

5) for ZaneZam Battery Plus -> NEW! reworked 'faster' battery setting (DEV-NOTE: recommended too! )

6) for ZaneZam Optimized -> old untouched setting (balanced setting with no focus in any direction DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it!)

7) for ZaneZam Moderate -> NEW! setting based on 'zzopt' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online

8) for ZaneZam Performance -> old untouched setting (all you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast down scaling/hotplugging behaving)

9) for ZaneZam InZane -> NEW! based on performance with new auto fast scaling active. a new experience!

10) for ZaneZam Gaming -> NEW! based on performance with new scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay

11) for ZaneZam Relax -> NEW! based on moderate (except hotplug settings) with relaxed sleep settings

(since version 0.9 beta4: cpu temperature threshold of 65°C enabled if exynos4 cpu temperature reading support was compiled with the governor)

Hello,

Is there anyway that we can have control the breathing notification light? I want to make it brighter as I can't see it in day light when it's flashing....

I have done some research on it and I know it can be possible thru the kernel by adding some value or file to adjust the current to the led....

I have no knowledge about kernels or compiling them at all so any help or advice on this would help...thanks for your hard work.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Let me see... I thought it was more, but it isn't that much after all:

fingerpring wakeup without pressing power button

battery problem (<= 15% rapid decline)

exfat support directly in kernel, instead of using additional modules like the rom chefs currently do

eventually enhance vTool to control LED button brightness? (see posting above) - changes should be possible via sysfs, if not, I can look into it, so sysfs supports it.

a vTool version that doesn't contain sweep2wake setting option (no longer compiled into guestekrnl)

The fingerpring wakeup thing has been declared impossible or at least improbable by skeleton and me so far.

Compiling exfat support directly into the kernel would be my own suggestion - I tried using exfat-nofuse (see: https://github.com/dorimanx/exfat-nofuse ) and it build well and exfat was listed in android terminal under supported file systems, but according to testers mounting exFat external SDs still failed. Currently, ROM-Chefs are using some workaround combined with an external module (see: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65063912&postcount=77 )

Maybe you could look into one or more of those things...

By the way [MENTION=5945732]stefano91av[/MENTION] : attention with adding governors, this can cause stability issues on Mediatek hardware. Even if the governor works completely fine on other platforms, it might not be stable on MTK. In the beginning of guestekrnl I tried multiple alternative governors, and most of them turned out to be unstable on our phone. Which is why I decided not to introduce any more additional governors to this kernel.
[Elephone P8000] stefano91av:
it is a pity that we can not do anything at the moment .

It would be fantastic to manage the cpu with ZZMoove :(
