Interactive; never really liked smartass much, pretty laggy for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuezaireekaa:
ok wait... so we wipe cache and Dalvik and Then flash the Kernel of choice, then wipe cache and Dalvik -again- and THEN boot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No need to wipe it twice, you can though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willy900wonka:
This was from 10/12. I just loaded cfs#13 - 691mhz onto the latest fresh on my hero. The track ball light isn't working. Has this issue been resolved in another way? If not, then where can I get the extracted files?

Thanks. This is a smooth fast kernel.

Just wanna point out a issue I have
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
Hey guys i know there are a lot of different opinions on what configuration works best but I just want to make sure I'm not screwing anything up with my current setting, if any of you can take a look at this and let me know if anything looks out of whack it would be greatly appreciated!!

Current config:

Rom: CM 6.1.0-RC1

Kernal: Dec's #16

Firerat's Custom MTD Partition: mtd 102 2

SD Card: Stock 2 GB card that came with phone

Batt-cfg tweaks:

CPU Limiting: underclock

CPU Scaling Governor: interactive

CPU Scheduler: noop

Min CPU on Batt, USB and AC: 245

Max CPU on Batt, USB and AC: 691 (My phone boot loops if I go above this, that is a common issue right?)

Battery Polling on batt: 60

Battery polling on USB and AC: 15

Max % to reduce CPU: 15

CM Settings:

Compcache: disabled

JIT: disabled

surface dithering: disabled

lock home in mem: disabled

lock mesageing app in mem: enabled

VM Heap: 32m
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Sorry phone rebooted twice!

Anyway, WiFi on BFS is backwards, downloads are 0. 7 mbps while upload is 2. 5 mbps. This happens with all the latest BFS kernels. I install CFS and WiFi is perfect, up to 3. 7 download and 1. 5 upload. I don't know if any DEV knows this or I'd this is a known issue, or heck it could just be my hero.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
looks good, try interactive gov. if your phone isn't fast enough..

and up your VM Heap to 32m it helps for Froyo, alot IMO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Don't use smartass, just use interactive... And don't use the batt tweek and the set cpu together.... Just use the tweek.... This is why you are getting bootloops, they start fighting each other..... Jump your vm heap to 32m and enable home in mem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
I thought Dec rewrote the interactive code to make it work better and that's where smartass came from......and I don't use setCPU, I only use dec's batt tweak....i have never been able to go above 700MHz on any ROM/Kernel i have used....I thought this was a common issue for people, and that's why they release the two versions of the kernel.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Not really a common issue so to speak, depends on when your Hero was developed and if its able to go to that speed without overheating.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
Oh, I guess I thought it was more common based on the fact that they release 2 different kernel versions...I also added to my original post that I am using firerats custom partitions and the stock SD card
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Another issue, I just noticed - "Wipe Dalvik cache" in recovery doesn't do anything.

I remember wiping dalvik before I installed #15 over the CM6 stock and it had generated some messages & confirmation. However, when I tried doing it again, after (forgot to wipe dalvik, did wipe cache though) installing #16, it just returned to the recovery options... no messages, no confirmations... :confused:.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
I would like to clear something up if I can....

Just like the post above, some people say they wipe cache, but not the dalvik cache.

What other cache is there? I only have options to wipe the entire phone or wipe the dalvik.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
What recovery are you running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
RA-heroc-v1.6.2

Is there another better one I should be using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.1.

I remember, it had worked fine some time back... I think it was before I installed #16.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Use either Darch's "unofficial" recovery found in the Darchdroid thread, or the newest RA version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would use Darch's 1.7 RA
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Even if it doesn't say anything, the first time booting after the dalvik wipe should take significantly longer than normal. Also, if you look at the adb logcat during the first boot after, you should see a lot of DexOpt lines.

Also, as impaler said I also recommend 1.7.0. You can find it in the darchdroid 2.7 OP. #1 reason being I believe with 1.6.2 you cannot successfully create a nand backup :eek:, at least I couldn't when I had 1.6.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, and 1.7 is OC and very fast :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
Great thanks guys, so is it best to wipe both caches when flashing a new kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would just wipe the dalvik-cache, no need to wipe every cache on your phone :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Ok, I think I observed that during my first boot after the dalvik wipe and kernel (#15) install.

I was having some lag issues and as mentioned in some earlier posts, I was trying to do a dalvik wipe (ClockWorkMod). However, when I selected the option... the system did not seem to do anything. It just immediately returned to the Recovery menu options without any messages/confirmations. It was weird.

Anyways, I am thinking of moving to RA 1.7. Lets see how that goes... fingers crossed ;).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I much prefer 1.7 over clockwork, much better IMO :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Is there gonna be a fix for the wake-lock lag?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Deca's working on it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Once I have time. Either way, you can revert the last commit on the CFS branch and just compile the kernel yourself if you want. That's the reason why it was the last commit :p(was unsure).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No rush, we appreciate all the work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I just installed the 11/7/10 CFS kernel, and I don't have any wakelock lag... as soon as the screen turns on, I can unlock the screen without having to wait.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
The problem is the extra second delay between input activity and cpu ramping up from sleep. It's not too terribly difficult to work around. I just need time to run some tests before I release anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
How?? It's universal, unless you changed the kernel :confused: Any news on that 825 kernel by the way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I'll test as well if you'd like :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
No offense, but packaging and uploading with my terrible upload speeds would be a hassle while doing preliminary things. Once I get around to having something "decently stable", I'll pm you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
None taken, I completely understand, I see the same thing with my themes; best to have a "solid" version before sending out to test
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
Pretty sure the lag referred to as "wakelock lag" is that between pushing a button to wake the device, and when you're able to interact with the screen. Not the actual swiping/menu/trackball press itself. Mine's quite fast (on interactive) once the screen is on, as well. It's the time before the screen is on that it's delayed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
My screen generally turns on right away, haven't had that sort of wake issue for a while now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, +1, I thing the op of that just misunderstood the issue :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Why does BFS totally hate my phone?

It lags so much on every scheduler or whatever you call it haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Some phones are just like that; can't be explained, just the way the phone works ;) I find CFS to be more stable and speedy as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Here are the lag-free options I have on my phone.

Which should pretty much make cm 6.x.x lag free.

Overclock widget not SetCPU as its not too stable on Froyo IMO

Interactive a.k.a default scaling

245/691

VM Heap at 24m I haven't tried 32 but it might be faster.

No Autokiller at all.

I run better keyboard with vibrate on and can type smoothly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
That I'm not sure. I'm running the CyanogenMOD new RC, launcher pro, and I don't have many widgets on my homescreens (only use two homescreens).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Oh ok. Gotcha. In that case, I do have wakelock lag, and it's massive. In fact it's so bad I've had to pull the battery because I couldn't get the phone to respond to anything, be it screen touch or physical button press. It only happens though (at least that I've noticed) when coming out of airplane mode, a long sleep, loading a webpage while the phone goes to sleep, or getting a call while browsing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Were you referring to overall speed earlier or wakelag?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Oh ok, that's what I though, just curious :) 825.... any news?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
From the looks of it, Decad3nce enabled 999MHz in the newest release... at least that's what I see in the kernel configuration file. So try setting your phone to above 768 and see what happens. There may be some other setting that affects that though, I'm not sure. I'm only a noob kernel dev haha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Wow, cool will do :) Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I can see why this kernel devving is so hard... there are like thousands of possible combinations of settings that you can use. Thumbs up to Decad3nce :D

Dec, if you have time to help a noob out, how do you get this exact kernel config file? Do you manually edit the file and load it into "make menuconfig"? Because I don't see a way to add the options that are in your kernel configuration into there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I'd love to develop kernels along with themes, but I have no clue where to start :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Check out my WebOS porting guide... I put some links up there that talk about kernel compiling and such. It's quite tedious, but it's fun when you finally get the message:

Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready

It's like success!

EDIT: Even better when you get two compiled in one command!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Just make with the defconfig. I set up the make-kernel.sh script to build the defconfig that I have set up. You'll probably just have to change the path to your toolchain(CCOMPILER).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
how good is the previous kernel in comparison to this?

cause the wake lock is getting crazy I had to batter pull for my last call cause it wouldn't hang up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
What one are you using. I'm on #15 bfs and have virtually no lag

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I had wake lag on both new CFS and BFS
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
What min are you using? Mine is set @ 352 and it seems to have eliminated what very little lag existed after the screen wakes. Turns on almost instantly after hitting on/Menu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Mine is 245 for battery saving... I'll just wait for the fix, no need to lose battery over a 2 second wake lag ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I generally get a day or more out of a full charge with moderate (for me, your milage may and will vary), no complaints here. New stable is the best yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would agree with that, minus the wake lag ;)

Angry birds update

Not sure if any of you guys noticed but they released an update for Angry Birds, that is supposed to work better on more devices and when it finally loads the issue with everything being white is fixed...but on my phone it is crazy slow!!....everything else on my phone has been running relatively smooth and other games work fine but Angry Birds is unplayable now....anyone else try the new version? I posted my exact config in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9112374&postcount=2092, maybe I have something set wrong.

Edit: I did notice by default it was installed to the SD card....so I moved it to the phone and turned on airplane mode, performance is improved a little bit but it is still painfully slow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
Yeah, when i was running AB 1.3.5 it was actually playable, but it was missing a lot of the graphics.

Now it's literally like 5fps.... but at least the graphics show up! lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feyrune:
Is there a way to save the settings I normally use in Deca's battery tweak? I don't know if I need to reset them everytime I flash a new nightly and reflash the kernel and tweak. I'd like a way to just say use previous settings or something.

You do need to flash again when going to a new nightly

I got the Amon RA 1.7 recovery... it says "unofficial". Does it matter?

Anyways, the recovery seems to be working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, that doesn't matter. I use it all the time, and I'm glad it's working now for you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, you have to flash the tweak again and then apply the settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feyrune:
Sorry. I misread your response. Do you know an easier way to reapply the settings without having to manually go through each step of the batt-cfg script?

It's a great script, but a settings file stored on the sdcard would make things easier.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hero_Guy:
Grrr so im getting some wake up lag now, im using uncapped #16 with set cpu OC to 768 and its blazing fast but it takes 2-5 seconds for my phone to wake up and i thought this was supposed to get rid of that, not create lag. anyone else have this problem? i had my minimum set at 325 but i've been raising it slightly too see if that would help but nothing :( any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, unless you set up terminal emulator to start from the setup of the batt-cfg

I don't think it lists all the AOSP ROMs - the ones I realized were the CM 6.0 (stable) & AOSP 0.9.7 and I am adding them right now. It, also, was missing a root guide for 2.31.651.7 - I am in the process of making that update.

This is based on my limited knowledge... you might want to take a look to see if it is missing anything else.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Cool, I can help....

ok what you want is to get the update file and the rom or whatever your nanded rom is on the root of your sd card.. And also the Androot app that you put also on you the root of your sd card...

Please read everything for the step then do...

1.. Goto market and download the Rom Manager.. Back up your Current rom...

1.. find a ruu of the lastest sprint hero download

2.31.651.6.. have your connection to your PC at disk.. and just double click your ruu and load it as follows in the ruu..

2.. Load this on your phone, before you do this nand your current rom.....

3.. Now that you have the stock ruu up.... go into the market and download astro file manager....

4.. then go into astro find your Androot app and load that up... ROOT YOUR PHONE IN LIKE 2 Secs, no joke, lol....

5.. Then go into the market and find rom manager.. Download this...

6.. Open up your rom manager and goto flash clockwork recovery... follow steps

7.. then goto reboot into recovery...

8.. in recovery goto..

a. install zip from sdcard.

b. choose zip from sdcard

c. find the update zip, load it

d. then to reboot system now

9.. Check if the update took, the boot will take a bit.

10..If it took go back into your Rom Manager and nand restore your rom that you had... and you are done.....

Edit : Or use this method...

Use winzip to edit the batt.conf file in the zip file of the battery tweak. Then flash it normally. A great time saver if your phone runs at a weird clock speed.

I've experienced this behavior. The map stops moving temporarily and/or the location "bubble" around the location marker grows. This happens several times within a minute or 2 before GPS simply shuts down completely.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Same exact bahavior. I even disabled the tweak and still same results. Think it might be Google maps itself?

id like to get scores like that on my 2.1 rom as well.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
There are 2 types of kernels on the OP. Stable and Experimental(BFS).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Only used stable. Haven't tried experimental.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jedis:
I was using 8/18 and had no issues. Just updated to CM6 8/22 nightly. Should I use the 8/19 kernel to avoid GPS issues? Or do I need to use the 8/22 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The 8/22 kernel will break your GPS, since its experimental, and Decad3nce hasn't figured out a way to have GPS and BFS play nice yet. I would stick with the 8/18 stable kernel

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
I wiped and flashed the 8/21 cm6 nightly and uncapped kernel #8 and GPS is back to working perfectly. Just got done testing it in the car on a 20 mile trip and all is fine now. I do not have the battery tweak installed.

Also, I have to say that battery life seems just as good without the battery tweak. Everything is running perfectly. Great job and many thanks to all the devs involved!
