i've tried a few games on this kernel and after a while they just exit with no error and return to homescreen.

I had the problem with assasin's creed, nova and asphalt 5. I think they're running out of memory or something like that because they are very heavy on the resources.

Anyone else experienced this ?
[Vibrant Android Development] MINUS Stl:
Still having issues using anomolous's method. Get all the way to the "busybox cp" part and then just get "no such file or directory" errors for every command. :confused: I've seriously been stumped on this for days now. Everyone else seems to be able to get it to work, but everytime I try it doesn't. Have to keep going back to the SCv6 kernel and deal with the wake lag. :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
This has nothing to do with the kernel, and all to do w/ your lag fix. Try deleting those directories inside ext2data and try recreating them. Also make sure BB is updated. That is what got it working for me.. For whatever reason, the directories refused to mount properly, so by deleting ext2data and all the folders inside, and retrying to commands I showed you, I got it to work. I understand its frustrating though, took me a while to figure out why it was throwing errors everytime.

After you are on the second attempt after deleting them, check inside ext2data to make sure the necessary folders are there (data, system, dalvik-cache). If not, thats why its throwing the errors. Trying to mount to a non-existent directory
[Vibrant Android Development] MINUS Stl:
I realize it's nothing to do with the kernel. I might try it again tonight. Definitely is frustrating and commands/scripts confuse me for some reason. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I totally understand, let me know how it works out. I eventually got it working after I gave up the night before lol
[Vibrant Android Development] MINUS Stl:
So is the ext2data directory to delete/recreate on the phone itself or in the ext4 on my external sd?
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
Guess I was the only one who realized a new update came out. Flashed Kernel-Vibrant-OCv4.zip thru Clockwork Recovery, not seeing any problems with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
good to know just flashed it on mine and phone booted up pretty quick yay lol
[Vibrant Android Development] YepMan68:
Thands a million for v.4

Clock stays steady and both high Quads and Linpacks...awesome.

Great job. Thanks for great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
GPU issues should also be sorted in v4 for those that couldnt play asphalt etc.

I have tested and could not get asphalt or any 3D intense application to crash.

More goodies to come.

Enjoy!

I'm off to get some BBQ!
[Vibrant Android Development] kassy_ok:
hey jac,

thanks for you beautiful work, i'm trying OCv4 right now...

one thing i noticed with the beta kernel is that my phone gets very HOT !!

i put it to charge and left, and when i came back it was burning hot, the battery was arround 55 C !!

do you think is related to the overclock, coz it never happened before...
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Most likely. There is thermal protection built into the CPU and other parts so it woudl shut down if that was too hot. I've also seen other users of the captivate and i9k having temps around 56 C when on the charger. It shouldnt run that hot while off the charger.

I now have time to get back to my UV testing too which will hopefully drop the temps and save us some battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] kassy_ok:
thank you for that, i was sh** scared...

keep up the good work brother
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Enjoy! Thanks, as always......
[Vibrant Android Development] StefanB86:
Thanks JAC, working great! had a bit lower linpack and quadrant score in OCv4 than the test one you posted before, but otherwise happy with it :D
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
I can't believe how easy it was to do this update. My pc stayed off...can you believe it. Great job!!

Is anyone usinga lag fix with this version? If so, do you mind sharing which one you are using? also, I know this is overclocked up to 1200 but do I need to use something like set cpu to take advantage?

I'm sorry for these questions and I have looked back in this thread but so many things have been fixed and changed that I just wanted to get it right.

Thanks for the help.

John
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
This kernel overclocks on boot. Setcpu isn't needed to take advantage of the OC.
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
Strange my quadrant score went down to 956. Im on the stock rom with ocv4 kernel. Any ideas why it dropped down from around 2000 to 956? Im running ext4, should I be running something different?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
The slightly lower scores are because of changes for stability to the CPU/GPU
[Vibrant Android Development] StefanB86:
Got it, now i understand.. thanks once again :)
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Sounds like a bb issue where your script isn't running. Re install busybox and any symlinks. It was removed from the kernel a bit ago to stop conflicts.

I think anomalous rom does the links in the updated script and some busybox install updates should too. I will put one up later to make the links for those having issues. I just don't want then in the kernel because out doesn't give people a choice.

Also busybox is best installed to /system/xbin
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
Jac,

Thanks for the info. So there is no need for using one of the lag fixes with this kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
Mine jumped from 1202 to 954
[Vibrant Android Development] croomshine:
man, flashing through clockwork&redbend is so much nicer now. Odin was such a pain.

Upgraded from SCv9 to OCv4. No issues so far... great work JAC. Will report more later if I run into anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
Jac,

As always you were right again. My low score was due to BB I installed the latest version and now I'm over 1600 on my score.

Thanks again for your hard work...and that goes to all of you that have a hand in this. My hat goes off to you.

John
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
Where did you get the busybox?
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
excuse me for being a noob, but how exactly do I do that? Do I need to install the anomalous rom? Or are there some files I can copy somewhere?
[Vibrant Android Development] JLundberg:
I found busybox by going to the market and doing a search for it. There is an app that will tell you what version you are using and let you download and install the latest.

Don't forget to put it in the correct directory...

System/xbin

the program defaults to system/bin not xbin

John
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
Ok I flashed the vibrant 6 rom, and installed a new busybox in /system/xbin. I also reflashed OCv4 to be sure but my quadrant score is still down to 964. But when I use an older kernal im back up to around 2000. I must be missing something, any Help?
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Sounds like you were running a 'lag fix' and its no longer working
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
fresh install of vibrant6, downloaded the latest busybox to /xbin, flashed the Data and Dalvik init.d update.zip in Clockwork Recovery, then the Kernel, and i reboot to the galaxy screen, it takes a while then it black screens on me and the capacitive buttons stay on, it takes forever and just when im about to give up hope and nandroid, the home screen pops up but each time i reboot it does the same thing and it always seems to forget settings, like the swype tutorial keeps coming on with each reboot, every app i install has the first time pop up show up, and ive tried fix permissions, clearing dalvik cache, wiping cache, underclocking, overclocking, nothing has solved the problem... ive attached a logcat if anyone can help...
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
now i cant even nandroid or flash to another rom even after a factory data reset...

another logcat
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
... use Odin to flash the stock kernel? If all else fails, use Odin to flash the Stock ROM @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
No ive never installed the lag fix. This is the first time ive installed vibrant 6. I was on the stock rom with OCv4 and my quadrant scores were in the 900s, so tried a new busy box and the vibrant 6 rom by itself and it didnt help.
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
thanks, yeah i know i could ODIN to stock, but im wondering why it messed up in the first place, i reflashed the init.d zip and its loading fine now...but somehow im back at stock...im so confused because i lust nandroided back from a rooted rom... but at least its working now...i think ill just wait till roms are built specifically with this kernel because i think maybe eugenes rom had a lag fix that was probably conflicting with the newer kernel...
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
Hm? I'm using Vibrant6 with the OCv4 kernel with no problems at all. The lagfix was enabled as well.

Good to hear its up and running now though.
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
Im going to go completely back to stock and try all this all over again.
[Vibrant Android Development] speedysilwady:
hmm i think i accidentally had 2 busyboxes installed one in bin and one in xbin, i deleted the one in bin and so far its running well but when i overclocked to 120000 and played need for speed the phone froze and had to pull the battery i put it back down to 100000 and im playing nfs with no issues so far, hopefully itll stay good now
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Two BB will cause that issue. Not everyone phone cab handle oc. I may bump the voltage .25 at 1.2 as an option for those that can't run 1.2 at the current voltage.

For example nfs doesn't freeze on my phone oc'd. Every CPU is different in how far it can be pushed at stock voltage
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Any chance our Phone can hit 1.28 like the I9000?

From what I can find on the chip, it's rated for 1.6, but might be hard hitting it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
im running ocv3 and can i just flash ocv4 over it in clockwork now?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
There have been some changes to the init.d updates (which eventually will go away once I introduce a cleaner solution) and the now take care of the busybox issues for you. It will remove any prior versions of BB and install the correct version for all lagfix's 1.7.1 and create the needed symlinks in /system/xbin

This should make things easier for those having issues.

There is also two versions. One with tabbals data to SD script included as a lag fix which gets fsck'd every boot for stability. Or a second version that does not include any lag fix scripts so the user can apply their own without having to worry about conflicts.

Enjoy!
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Yes you can just flash over it.
[Vibrant Android Development] kassy_ok:
another thing I noticed is that in case of a notification, missed call, new sms, email etc.the screen does not turn off by itself, witch causes the baterry to drain very fast.

I unplugged my phone at 7 am and now I have 60% left because of one missed call in the morning...
[Vibrant Android Development] Keslynn:
Can the 07a2sd (EXT support) script be removed from the init.d folder after you've flashed the kernel? The instructions say remove before flashing kernel and I don't want to mess anything up since I don't have easy access to Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Good job on v4 jac. Runs good overclock works great no lag . Im impressed. Keep up the good work

[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
I was having this same issue. I posted a little while back about it. I found that a restart fixes it temporarily but eventually it will come back. I couldn't pin point what caused it and still deal with it... If you figure something out let us know!

[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Does this include 'apps2sd' or whatever? I had issues before with "Low Storage" forcing me to uninstall apps. Wouldn't retrieve texts either.

And will RyanZA's lagfix work on this?
[Vibrant Android Development] trusteelfan:
Thank you very much. Finally got this to work. At first I though I bricked my phone. It wouldn't boot and would only show a pic of a phone and a computer. Finally used odin to go back to stock. Im glad this phone doesn't brick easily. Then i flashed the new init.d update and OCv4. Now its working like a champ.
[Vibrant Android Development] kassy_ok:
actually i fixed it by enabling Puzzle lock in display options...working great now
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
Quick Question

Both me and my Wife are big Android Geeks and have been modding our phones for some time. these Vibrants are a blast and first we want to say thanks for providing us with a well done solid kernel. OCv4 ext4-solid with no bugs or issues. I come from a P.C. Modding background and used to overclock the old AMD's. In those you can step up FSB which in turn effects Memory, or you can jack up multiplier and get a CPU only OC. how do these ARM processors work in comparison? is there a way to see GPU clock?
[Vibrant Android Development] couped:
Lag free, smooth vibrant! Thank you JAC!

Sent from a Samsung Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
Sorry, noob question.

Already have SCv9 installed with ext4 and ttabbal's script. If I wanted to flash OCv4 over it, do I have to flash init.d again and then OCv4? Or can I just flash OCv4 on top of my previous kernal? And is it really that simple, just flash through clockwork?! Thanks for any help.
[Vibrant Android Development] questgraves:
I have the same set up, been flashing the kernel without reflashing init	d. had no problems ttabbals script works fine. I use odin to flash however.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Thanks JAC! I've held off on using your OC kernel until I could flash with recovery and it was more stable.

This could not have been easier! Great work!

I followed your instructions (after undoing the RyanZA lagfix of course) and it worked great.

My phone is rock stable. Bring on the UV!
[Vibrant Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
So how do you change bootup images with this kernal?? Understood that you could. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
This is somewhat off topic, but I wanted JAC's opinion on these "lag fixes". Do you recommend any of them? I know EXT2 is prone to corruption, and EXT4 is faster but still has the occasional issue (in my experience). Using External SD (EXT4) works well, but you are always writing to the ext sd, which is also limited by the speed of your external sd card (mine is class 6).

Wanted a expert's opinion about which is the best TEMPORARY solution, until we can get EXT4 instead of RFS on /data or Samsung fixes it officially.

The four options seem to be

/data and /dalvik-cache moved to EXT2 loopback partition on /data

/data, /app, and /dalvik-cache to EXT2 loopback partition on /data

/data and /dalvik-cache moved to EXT4 loopback partition on /data

/data and /dalvik-cache moved to external sd card EXT4 partition

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] mill3000:
This works great. Just do it already
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I had been using the EXT4 Loopback method, wasnt as fast as the EXT2 Loopback method, but its smoother.

Empirical as the evidence may be coming from me, I experienced the "smoothest" operation with /data and /dalvik-cache to External SD EXT4
[Vibrant Android Development] aenima4six2:
Would "smoothest" imply that the entire feel of the OS was more responsive, while "fastest" imply that the highest raw scores were achieved in Quadrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I guess that would be a good explanation of them.
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Yes it would :)

My experiences would be as such (all over DeOdex Stock w/ JAC's OC Kernels, Ive been lucky to be able to use OC kernels without issue for the most part. But Ive always had trouble getting Eugene's VibrantX series of ROMs to load on my phone *shrug*);

External SD-EXT4 (with only a class4) card would net low 2000's in Quadrant but Id have literally no delay when launching apps, and the phone would just be super responsive minus the sleep lag the original JAC kernels suffered from. I did have a very strange 2800 Quadrant score with the first OC kernel, but that wasnt very stable at all.

RyanZA Loopback method v2.3 w/ EXT2 was hella fast but "stuttered" a lot. Apps would still take a second extra to launch and the phone would bog down randomly, but after the delay would fly... Quadrant scores ~2500+

Now Im using Tayutama's 2.3.3 loopback method w/ EXT4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765820), and it doesnt seem to suffer the stuttering effects the original RyanZA's methods would. Its sort of like Goldilocks and the three bears, for me its the "just right" balance between blazing speed, and smoother (lag-less) operation. Quadrant scores ~2300's

Its all Empirical, obviously, but I hope my opinion has helped at least steer you to something that's right for you.

TBH, the nicest Lagfix Ive used was the old 130MB AppData2 NAND one. But it is very limited depending on what apps you use
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Seems supercurio in the i9000 forums put together a full lagfix which uses ext instead if rfs :D.

I helped him make sure it will be compatible with the vibrant by allowing him access to my phone remotely (across the world....lol), but as a replacement kernel is required, I was going to ask if JAC could take a look and see if this concept/feature could be added to his kernels. I love the improvements, features, and OC from your kernel, and would love to see this added to it.

The fix is just finishing a private beta, but should be publicly released soon. There isnt an official thread for the fix yet, but most of the discussion (and celebration) is going on here or on IRC.

Thanks!

How did you transfer from External EXT-4 to Loopback?

How did you transfer from External EXT-4 to Loopback?
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I would recommend restoring to a recent backup instead. If you really are determined, I would pull up the script that you used to create the external EXT and pretty much run the commands backwards (not literally, but copy from /sd-ext to /data, not the other way around). That should get you to "no lag fix" state, where you can apply anotehr one.

I highly recommend keeping a nandroid of a STOCK non-lag fix set-up so you can try other lag fixes in the future without having to go through the hassle. Its so much easier to just restore a nandroid than copy data back from your external sd to /data. My 2 cents.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Thanks!!!

I will give it shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
are we supposed to use SetCPU with OCv4 1.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] ericm115:
ok. Noob question.

I just installed the Deodexed 1.2 rom and the init.ded-busybox file with the ocv4 kernal. is there anything else i have to do to get the ext4 on my external sd card? a point would be great, i did search ad found nothing. Also is it normal for the phone to lag badly when sim card is inserted. without sim phone flys, with it its slow as snails. ideas? its a new sim card. maybe a newer one would work?
[Vibrant Android Development] StefanB86:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7891367&postcount=607 :)
[Vibrant Android Development] shznit:
I was using the original lagfix on EXT2 so I decided to try Tayutama's. I ran nandroid restore to original state shortly after I bought the phone, flashed Eugene's rom, then JAC's OCv4 kernel. SL4A runs the script but there are errors and when it reboots my Quadrant score is still ~900. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
I'm going to over clock my Vibrant. I've used Ryan's lagfixes but honestly besides the quadrant scores they actually made my phone stutter and lag more. Apps would delay before they started, especially the market place. Which lagfix is the best to use with the over clocking kernel that you guys have used?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I have a copy of the beta he made for me but i haven't playesdwith it yey. It will def be implemented in my kernels dont worry :)
[Vibrant Android Development] robavila721:
Awesome news JAC. You're the man.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Okay, I'm sorry I brought it up, totally my bad, off topic. This thread is about JAC's Kernels, and dealing with testing, etc, etc. Most "lagfixs" will work with any kernel, so your question about best lagfix should be in the RyanZA "lag fix" thread, as they are all mostly variations of that concept.

All your instructions for this kernel are in the OP :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Dude, my f***ing hero...........:D

He did some testing over the net with my Vibrant and he said he has a good method for maintaining our current partition structure, for all the crap they added on using extra partitions.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
Just installed the OCv4 kernel, how do I know what frequency the CPU is running at? I'm guessing I have to manually install setcpu?
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
this was my installation order;

ROM

Init.d w/o apps to SD

Reboot to ensure init.d folder is there

Flash OCv4

Flash Tayutama v 2.3.3

Reboot, run SL4A script
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
This will be very nice. Not having to hack around the braindead RFS would rock. Any shot we can completely remove RFS and use ext3/4 for all the internal partitions outside of /sdcard? I really, really, hate busted proprietary filesystems.
[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
I also had problems running the fix from the zip file. I wound up download his apk file and manually installing. Here's the link:

That should be what Supercurio's mod does, no more RFS.....period :D
[Vibrant Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
I seem to be having this issue as well. The fix runs, creates partition, and just restarts with the partition created. It does not seem to have the fix implemented though. Getting quadrant scores in the 900's. Any help is appreciated.

[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
What will that do to our Sims 3 game?
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Supercurio mentioned he would have to do something special so it doesnt wipe our extra partitions (which has Sims3 on it). Shouldnt be an issue
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
Installed the OCv4 with SetCPU, I can really tell a difference when my phone is at 1.2Ghz, loving it!

Can someone explain to me how over clocking works? How do you know the "limit" of the processor?
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
Anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Same as on a pc. You push it till it crashes then back off a step or two. :)

Seems like our phone cpu doesn't have much room left, but 20% isn't shabby. You can sometimes get more if you push the voltage up, but that can also fry your cpu...
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
This will be so great.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I got supercurio's lagfix ported to the Vibrant with my stock and OC kernels. Going to test tonight and then up them tomorrow.
