Not the "not really". I'm just saying that it goes in descending order from newest to oldest, and not by numerical release "#".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I've always had a lock with BFS, just lucky I guess?

Wrong thread :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Love this kernel! 440 quadrant scores and Neo at 30fps...sweet!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gambit727:
After flashing BatteryTweak-DecaMOD and rebooting, do I need to do anything to activate it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
agreed..love this new BFS...my hero seems smoother and my quad score went from 343 to 424...amazing jump!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
These really just keep improving Deca, I think I speak for all of us here when I say thank you for these, and I can't wait until we have a working .34! I'm not a kernel developer, but if you need any help I'll be happy to try :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
not sure, now in order to mod a few things i would look at this webpage for some info.

Cool just don't want to confuse anyone new lol ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I think that BFK release today finally did it for me. Still not sure what that other ramzswaps file is there for.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's only if you use compcache, if not don't worry about it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gambit727:
OK, so just like the collin tweak, got it. Went with the 768 settings and no other options. We'll see how it goes. Thanks!

I just gotta say, thanks Deca for all your hard work and dedication. So far BFS #11 is the fastest, most responsive one yet!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SkepticalMystic:
Stutter and Overall Unresponsiveness

Edit: Sorry for the novel, just trying to be thorough as a new poster. Lol.

I've noticed a considerable drop in performance each time I've tried one of these kernels. It's quite disappointing since everyone seems to love them so much and I can't seem to figure out what I might be doing wrong or where the error is.

I've been using CM mod nightlies for a few weeks now and have had no issues. I started toying with these Kernels last night and was on the 9/26 nightly. Running CM mod with no changes I had slight stutter when changing home screens and coming out of sleep but overall ran smooth. Got 4.6 MFLOPS on Linpack and 415 on Quadrant. I'm not using Compcache or JIT. Tried both the BFS and the newest Stable and on each of them the phone was extremely laggy and stuttered on nearly all screen input. Linpack read in the low 2s on BFS and 1.9 something on Stable. Wiped Dalvik on each flash. Tried using OC Widget and Deca's mod Battery Tweak (Separately, not together) and saw no significant improvement, though even running at stock 691 without modding either I should see similar to stock CM instead of highly degraded performance.

Tonight I sat down to do a little more thorough inspection. Did a complete wipe and a fresh install of the newest nightly. Ran just fine. Flashed the newest BFS from today, performance dropped through the floor. Linpack showed a decent reading, 4.7 something, but the phone was unresponsive and jerky on everything. Did another complete wipe, tried again with the current Stable, was exactly the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What settings on set cpu or the battery tweak are you using? What frequencies, and what CPU governor?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bad--Dog:
every time i flash a bfs kernal my memory eventually drops to the low 20s or sometimes in the teens and the phone gets real sluggish, this doesnt happen in the stable kernals. im using dt a2sd to set the lowmem-killer to aggressive and have been for a long time, so save all the "why arent you using the native a2sd" comments. simple answer , i dont want to. the lowmem settings work great in the stable kernals my memory never drops below 55 or so. i want the memory setting to hold in the bfs kernals as they are significantly faster. im getting membench scores of 12.5 with the #11 kernal but the drop in memory is pissing me off....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SkepticalMystic:
Initially just running without either the Battery Tweak or OC Widget and saw the performance issues. When I installed the Battery Tweak I tried the default number 1, "Set to 768 and exit" and saw no change. I wiped again, tried with OC Widget instead, set it to 595 - 768 and 352 - 480 with screen off. I tried a number of other permutations as well, but those are what I'm using now on the stock CM nightly with no problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
CM6, well the ramdisk(init.rc), sets the cpu governor to default as "interactive"

Interactive doesn't play nicely with BFS due to scheduling conflicts... I'll get that narrowed down eventually.

Switch to ondemand, you'll be fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Make sure the settings actually 'stick'.

I don't use any memory management changes for my set up. I never drop below 40mb with either kernel.

If it persists, then I'll look at it further.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I use autokiller from the market to make them stick, and no problems here Deca. Probably just not actually sticking on his phone without the app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Just loaded up the uncapped version. It loaded up extremely quick, usually it take like 30 seconds to load all my apps back up, but it was done in about 10-15 seconds. And the wake up seems much improved too, only lags if you lock/unlock repeatedly which is expected.

Great work once again, thank you sir.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1, on demand works great for me, either use set cpu to change or use the commands from the first page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bad--Dog:
ive used autokiller plenty of times same result. why would it stick perfectly for days on end with the #14 kernal but not with the bfs kernals..... ill give it another shot for a while right now it is hovering around 42 thats will be good enough for me if it stays that way.... still love and appreciate your work deca definitely makes this old worn out hero breath new life
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SkepticalMystic:
I'll certainly try that, but wouldn't interactive still work on the Stable since I tested it too? Gonna try out the newest BFS and change to OnDemand and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Interactive and stable should be fine. That's what my daily is. I haven't had many a problem. Well, other than the occasional dalvik-vm spam due to bad CGROUP hierarchy which is why we need .34
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Is there any big limitation stopping us from having .34? Or is it just a bunch of little problems?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SkepticalMystic:
Changing to ondemand seems to have helped quite a bit using the newest BFS kernel. Gonna test it out for a while and see what happens. Thanks for the quick reply, and thank you Impaler for your input as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything else :D Always feel free to go to my CM Q&A also if you have general questions!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
i have no idea what noop is...but i picked #9 cuz deca said it saves battery on the details. deca, care to chime in? lemme know which one saves the MOST battery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
#9 has the usleep function added in the board, but some of the hinder performance more than they benefit battery life. You're best of grabbing the latest stable, setting the i/o scheduler to 'noop' and the cpu governor to either conservative or interactive.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mac11700:
Deca...I'm at 6.5 hours since pulling it off the charger.I'm still at 81% with normal usage:D:D:D This is really the best I've ever got with as much as I have been doing with it showing folks here at work some of the live wallpapers I'm running with it.. The little fishies swimming arount in that salt water tank look very nice and swim smoothly too.Looking forward to when you get the perf lock fixed so we don't have to keep re-doing it when we boot...but I gotta tell you..I'm really loving this phone more and more again,since installing this kernal...so a BIG THANKYOU goes out to you bro...BTW..I've got mine set to 768/245 and screen off at 384/245 both on performance. It is fast fast fast..I also have JIT and Comcache enabled as well...I ran the CPU Benchmark stress test for 15 minutes straight with out a hiccup right before I left home for work..Everything is running fine

Thanks Again

Mac

Just downloaded linpak and quadrant.. 5.38 for Linpak and 450 for Quadrant...this is a good step up from my previous scores...:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
To date, this is the only BFS that has worked on my phone, I've tried them all. Thank you!

@729, w/JIT, no compcache I got quadrant 470, linpack 5.045.

Like a crack fiend I'm wondering what .34 kernel will do :)

Where do yo set an I/o scheduler?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jon.StatiK:
It seems after I flashed the latest Stable kernel 09/28 I lost all of my gapps. Ended up having to re-flash.

Tried flashing in recovery and got error not enough space available in cache so I proceeded to wipe cache and dalvik. Re-flashed gapps and all is well.

Running CM6 v6.0 09/18
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
So after 12 hours starting from 76% I'm at 33 I was going to recalibrate my battery but I can live with that.

Stable #5 noop interactive.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I could easily be mistaken, but since you added the ramzswap/compcache source to the kernel sources in "drivers/staging/ramzswap/", and added "CONFIG_RAMZSWAP=y" to your config, the compcache functionality should already be compiled into the kernel without needing the loadable kernel module.

I think this means that (on the latest builds at least) you should only need to go to "Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance settings" and select "Use Compcache", without needing to install the ramzswap.ko file.

BTW, great job on the kernel mods and enhancements. Really outstanding contributions. Keep it up. We are all eagerly anticipating the results of your .34 kernel efforts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Just so people know there is an app in the market called Android Hackers system tool. This app will let you change your Cpu in just 1 click. I got tired of having to log on and retype those commands to change interactive etc. Plus SetCPU doesnt seem to want to work with me...It costs around $5 but is easy to come by if you know where to look.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Great work on the new BFS kernel Deca! My phone is running strong as always and seems to be a bit more responsive. My scores are stll strong as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
What app is that to show speeds etc and are you using drocap for screenshots?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
The app is quadrant standard and shootme is a good screenshot app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
logcat error

failed to find cpu subsys.

only receiving this after flashing latest stable kernal.

I reset dalvik cache....

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Running the latest BFS with SetCPU 710 ondemand, and after an hour or two the phone becomes so laggy it is hardly usable and I have to reboot. I am going to back down to 691 and see if that helps.

Previously I was on the stable from a week or two ago (sorry forgot) and did not see this happen.

It it just a matter of flashing the non-bfs overtop without wiping, other than dalvik, to change back to a different kernel?

Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
this is a known issue:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sodikop:
Try wiping cache as well as Dalvik, couldn't hurt. Just to make sure, your not running the Battery Tweak along side Setcpu?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
I will try that. No, no other battery tweaks or anything, just the 9/28 BFS.

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
Sorry for n00b question but how do I install/flash the ramzswaps.ko .zip file. Do I unzip it and adb push it somewhere because it won't flash... unsigned or?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spoatacus:
Extract the ramzswap.ko file from the zip

adb remount
adb push ramzswap.ko /system/lib/modules/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sodikop:
Just to cover the n00b bases, make the sure the ramzswap.ko file is in the /SDK/Tools folder when you do the ADB push.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I know, I can't wait for .34!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
I went back to #10 BFS at 710 with setcpu and it is running smooth as silk. My phone just doesn't seem to like #11.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Did you have the custom partitions set up?

I don't see how you could have lost all your gapps by flashing this, unless dalvik didn't rebuild its indexes correctly afterwards.

:S
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
If you're running setcpu, make sure that your autokiller settings aren't set to too aggressive, otherwise it'll just kill setcpu.

That's if you're using autokiller. Otherwise, I need more info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
No, not using autokiller or anything, just setcpu. It has only been about 3 hours since I went back to #10 so before I jump the gun, I want to give it a little more time. Going from #10 to #11 I didn't move/add/change any apps but just in case I want to give it a little time

thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
In both collin_ph's and decad3nce's battery scripts, when the user customizes setting, at the portion dealing with USB charge settings, the script prompts that MIN clock should be 480MHz or greater. Is this a typo (as in MAX clock should be 480MHz or less)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, it is correctly referring to the min. When your phone is plugged in, you can set the minimum frequencies higher, as it won't kill battery faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
Can you explain to me why that is? I would think that the faster the CPU clock, the more current would need to be supplied. Charging of a USB port would definitely supply at most an equal current and more likely less current than a dedicated power supply.

Plus, when running 691MHz or 768Mhz defaults in the script, MIN CPU clock when on USB is set to 245760. Why would collin_ph set the default option(s) to contradict a user warning?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
While you're correct in your assertion that the USB power isn't as much current as AC power, it is still enough to justify raising the min to 480 or higher. It may take longer to change, but it will charge, and it'll be faster to run :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
I understand that the phone would be more responsive following this assertion; however, that definitely isn't a valid statement as to why it is critical that users follow that course of action.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Oh, was that the original question? If so, my bad, no you don't need to set it there, it's just noted that you can :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Actually, it states that you keep you min lower than 480mhz as to actually be able to charge while on USB.

AC carries more current, USB, half as much.

If you set the min to 480 or higher, you won't charge, at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm, not trying to question your knowledge here, but I've had USB set to 768-768, and while it took a long, long time, it did end up charging.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Long, long time == never for normal people.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well that's true, it took about 2 hours to go from 90% to 100% :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
So, following this fact, MAX CPU clock when charging off of DC USB should be less than or equal to 480MHz (MIN <= MAX)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Apparently, although I've never had issues with setting it higher.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
do you have auto rotate disabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
No, you can set the max higher. When the phone sleeps, just make sure it drops below 480mhz(which is where your min setting comes into play).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jon.StatiK:
I did at one time yes but it became a hassle having to flash so much after every kernel so I reverted to darchs recovery and deleted the partition size file hoping it would reset itself. Evidently I was wrong in my newb assumptions. Now to figure out how to fix it..... ?

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Finally decided to try this since you put up a 691 version. And also since I lost my debian on the phone with latest nightlies because apparently they turned off loop devices. And, I LOVE IT! Except for one thing... Is it normal to have lost my trackball led?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Still a little bit of lag on the lock screen and when answering calls but my phone keeps getting faster and faster with these new BFS Kernels! Hit 505 with my governor on Performance :)

Not sure if this was a fluke thing or what but last night my touchscreen became unresponsive making me pull the battery. No biggie..

Thanks for all the hard work!

That is what I figured...it's waaaaaaaaay laggy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
OK, I have the uncapped installed and want to use compache. I was told I need to add the ramzsend KO file. Do I just flash this in recovery since it is a zip file, or do I unzip and push it into my phone? If I do push it, where does it go to, and do I remove anything?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Can anyone tell me what the code will be to push the ramzsend.ko file into my phone? I have the ramzsend file on the root of my C drive. I am trying push adb C:\ramzsend.ko /system/lib/modules

it tells me adb: not found

I am in shell as I see a # sign. Just not typing something right :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
You have to be working it of the directory that adb is in, typically c:/androidsdk/tools. Cd to there, make sure the file you want is in that folder also, then adb push file /directory

Oh, and my trackball light is working fine now. Just needed a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I am CD to tools, then adb shell. It just keeps popping up adb: not found no matter where I put that frickin file! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
I dont know why or how but I tried using the Droid explorer program again, and IT WORKED! :D

This adb is a pain in the arse LOL

Thanks for the help, I think by CD to tools again the droid explorer worked, before I only had one open, either CMD prompt or droid Explorer. With BOTH opened and CD to tools the Droid Prog worked, lol
