#43 691 stable kernel on stock sense rom

I downloaded this kernel after installing !Quite a few! roms on my HERO. I decided that I liked everything that the stock rom offered but the speed. MHERO is not able to run at 768 but will run at 729. I can't figure out how to set the speed. I do have setcpu installed but the kernel is capped at 691. Will someone out there let me know if i am doing something wrong or do i need to download a different kernel. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you flash the 768, can you boot up at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kwg8t7:
I flashed this and needless to say, my phone is loving 768 and begging for more! She runs like an Guatemalan princess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Hmm... didn't realize that Guatemala was a monarchy, nor that they had fast princesses. :D

It will boot but as soon as everything starts loading (you can see the home screen) it freezes.

too much traffic

i get a too much traffic notice when i try to dl the latest version. any other way to get the file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I think deca has instructions on the second post to set custom frequencies so it won't freeze when you boot and then you can bump it up to 729

Ask deca for a mirror ;)

im running cm6.1 nightly build #159, w/ uncapped kernel #43, & my max cpu feq is 750mhz w/ OC widget.

My highest MFLOP score ive ever gotten was 5.28 (was w/ a dif kernel, #14 i think), & it always takes 15+ seconds to get my MFLOP score, when ive seen others get their scores in very few seconds.

My highest Quadrant score ive ever gotten was 478.

Now i know some other ppls hero can go to 768mhz, but it seems like my scores are very low compared to other w/ simular setup,,, so my ? is,

Is there anything i can do to improve my phones speed & preformance, would using setcpu vs oc widget help?

Oh, i also use autokiller set @ optimum, except visable app is set @ 24, to match my VM heap, which is set to 24. I also have JIT enabled. would enableing compcache help any?

please help me boost my phones speed & performance, battery life is not super important to me b/c i always have a way to charge

Benchmarks really aren't that important to overall phone perforance.....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcj77d:
what can i do to boost performance?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
There's not much you can do. We're at a "bottleneck" of sorts in terms of pushing the devices hardware. The main way to increase "real world" performance is to ensure that you have at least ~45-55 MB of free RAM constantly.

Autokiller.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, autokiller on aggressive or strict is great :) I even use it on my Epic ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
And even that doesn't improve the terrible threading performance on messaging apps w/ this hardware and I/O system when you get above 1500ish messages. I have to reboot every twenty texts because the slowdown is unbearable. It's been that way on the stock rom, with the Aloysius rom, with CM 6.0 stable and 6.1, with multiple kernels, doesn't matter.

And, no, deleting the texts isn't an acceptable option. For some reason, SMS Backup app can sort the texts just fine, instantaneously, but every messaging app pukes once it starts having to refresh 1500+ texts across multiple threads. :( It's really a pita.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Perhaps the Hero isn't quite the right phone for your needs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
I've been able to counter that problem a bit with mounting noatime, try doing that for /data and see if it gives you any noticeable difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I never noticed that with Handcent when I used the hero :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
that's why the default settings (at least on cm6) don't let you get 1500+ messages in a thread.

if the messages are so important that you can't have ancient ones deleted, you should be using something else (probably email) instead of sms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Agreed, or just back them up and delete off the phone sms storage
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganjah:
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion. I hadn't read that anywhere, but I'll take a look at it and get back with you if it improves the situation. :)

It's definitely an issue with Handcent, too. I initially had that on CM6 stable and found it to be exactly the same performance-wise as the stock messaging app.

Unfortunately, if that were possible, I would. Most of the sms texts are from people who have no internet/data access on their phones. I live in a pretty rural area, so it's fairly common here. I did a speedtest from my parents' house out in the country a few days ago and got 55kbps up and down. Sad, but true.

I guess my biggest question is if a market app can sort, search, and display sms texts flawlessly, such as SMS Backup & Restore can, why can't the messaging apps themselves? Is it simply a problem of message database structures? It seems that might be the case, because a simple text flatfile is ridiculously easy to work with, even on this hardware, and should show SIGNIFICANTLY better performance than what it does.

I think the best option is just to backup the texts, as I have been, and living with it until I need to wipe for a new flash.

Thanks, all, for the suggestions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcj77d:
well i delete my txts after i read them, & my emails too, so those are always empty, & autokiller is set at optimum, but will go to aggressive.

thanks guys.

yea i love my hero, but sprint doesnt have any other phones i like except the evo, & im not paying $10 for 4g, when im on wifi 99.99% of the time.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
lg optimus doesn't have an armv7 processor, tho... it's armv6, like the hero. it does have a better gpu, but at this point i don't think that's enough to make it worth upgrading to it. maybe if they get cyanogenmod going on it it'll be worth it for me, but i'd much rather have something with armv7.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Even though it doesnt have the amrv7 processor. Next to my friends Evo's and Droix X's it runs just as good on anything I have tried thus far. The I/O is no joke on this phone not to mention it never slows down as it has tons of ram. I dont even have to run it over 600 mhz as it runs great at stock speeds unlike the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I've heard it's a good phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
it can't run google earth. that's the only thing i'd want my phone to do that my hero can't do.

Deca is dropping an update tonight?

WHAT?

P.S. Can we keep the clutter in this thread to a minimum?

Regardless.

Thanks for the testers. Especially wizputer(J.Watson) for pointing out a goof up.

Should be up shortly... ish.

#51 691= No Wifi

#51 768 = Wifi werks

Set max frequency on #51 768 with the following:

echo "748800" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

All is good now :)

Thanks Deca!!!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMGRANDS:
Hey Deca.... I Recently Installed Your #43 Kernel, And I Just Wanted To Say...."Your A Bad Dude" Lol!!

It's Unbelievable How Much Smoother/Faster/Better My Phone Has Been Running Since Flashing Your #43 Kernel, My Question To You Is, Is That The Kernel You Would Recommend For Someone Using "FroyoSense V8.1" on a (Cdma-Hero)?? Or Is There Another More Compatible/Recent For FroyoSense?

Once Again Thanx Alot Man!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
FroyoSense already uses one of my kernels, but an older version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Thanks dac everything is good now on 691

just FYI, there is froyosense v8.5, newer and shinier, thought you should know :)

What happened to the development on that. They not working on it anymore cuz there's still a ton of problems in v8.5

Not sure if they've stopped or just been busy. I know zen stopped rom development though.

Edit: nevermind! 4shared just wasn't playing nice with one of my firefox extensions, skipscreen..

Edit2: Did you update the MD5 for the revised 691? I downloaded it twice and got 10ac24851d5848a3552d97f0593d390a
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I download 619 an hr ago have no problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stunya:
being new to the rooting/rom/update arena, can you just flash the 691 if you are on CM6.1 stable?

i read most of the first few pages, but not sure of the process. any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilvoice:
Hey Deca, you said this uses the smartass governor, but I ran a cat on the scaling_governor and it still says interactive. Did I mess up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Etrick:
Should just nand backup, wipe cache, flash kernel

Then looonnngg boot as it starts up first time. 10 mins or more
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Etrick:
Smartass is based on interactive, should list in cat as interactive I believe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stunya:
also, what is the kernel setup (at what speed) for the CM 6.1 stable? I couldnt find it on the wiki
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I have a feeling you didn't read past the first line of my post. Replies like these make me :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Lol I was trying to let you no that your 2nd edit md5 sums you asked about worked for me. That it was ok.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Oh oh, my bad. I thought all you were saying was you could download it. Lol, now I'm embarassed :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
they are actually 2 different governors, if you apply deca's batt tweak in this thread post2, run the config and set the gov to what you like, I set mine to smartass. As to why it shows interactive, I have no idea why yours said interactive, maybe deca forgot to make it default even though he said it was? the 2 gov's are really similar so you may not notice the difference anyway :)

If you mean the stock that comes in the rom, not deca's, it can scale to 768 if you tweak it so, but is set to max out at 691 so all phones can boot with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Updated the md5sum. Forgot to do that lol. I'm slacking,

Smartass is set as default scaling governor. You can pull the config from the kernel yourself and check.

The problem is, the CM6 nightlies/roms for us contain an overwrite in the init.rc which sets the scaling_governor to interactive at boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Is there EXT4 support in the new release?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Should be:

ONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR is not set
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is not set
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR is not set
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4DEV_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
huh, never knew that. I didn't mean to imply you forgot, I was using the tweak set to smartass prior to your 51 kernel, so when I flashed the kernel the settings in mine stuck at smartass, so I really had no idea whether it was default or not(you are a human, we all forget stuff), only that mine was set, this is why I used the word maybe. Again, thanks for the awesome sauce. Snappier than jaybobs current (a little) as he reverted to nov30 commits for his dec17 build, you rock.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
have a question I flashed the last 619 and a them about the same time and my charge light stays green when charging it will go orange if the phones off. Which one would do that the theam?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Uhh. Charging light turns green at 90%. It's orange below 90% battery capacity.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
An update already? Crazy, just flashed this last night, super snappy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
New kernel out! Check OP.

3 changes. Mostly just revising the freq table with the help of erasmux, should mean more efficient scaling.

Included updated 06tweaks script. The script sets kernel/vm params, open it to see what.

Also set that it overrides the overwrite to the scaling_governor in CM6. Now it will be smartass as default regardless of what ROM you're using.

Enjoy.

Ok I guess I never noticed I have been playing with 2.1 roms for awhile.

I don't think my governor is being overridden to be smartass. Using Jaybob's CM6 17DEC and when I boot, OS Monitor shows interactive and scaling range: 245760 - 678528 and frequency range: 19200 - 691200

I have no idea what that is.

Logcat?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Are you referring to the app "Gentle Sleep?"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
I think it is because of smartass... It caps at 245 when the screen is off, correct? I believe that anything running in sleep needs at least 352, if I'm not mistaken?

I remember when I first used SetCPU I had a screen off setting to run really low and it caused my phone to lock up from running music and shutting off the screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
I would guess the smartass governor is scaling too low when your screen is off. Try setting it to interactive to see if that solves the problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Beat me to it :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Smartass allows up to 352 during sleep. It's something else.

It might be due to the re-addition of 19mhz onto the scene D:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Is 352 enough for that app? That low might be able to run the music app but maybe his app needs more?
