I'm still getting some stutter on #5, but NOWHERE near as bad as number #3. Everything is now totally bearable if it stays as is. I'm wondering if some fo this may be due to the rom i have loaded, but i'll have to wait till i get to the office and backup the phone before i reload another.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ejdavis72:
#5

I finally had my phone start to shutter and slow down a bit with #5. I ran the task killer and it went right back to normal. Not sure if an app is causing it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smtom:
Couple questions to potentially diagnose:

What ROM are you running?

Are you overclocked? If so, have you tried backing that down a bit and do you still get the stutter?

Are you synching a lot of apps ~ twitter, facebook, etc etc.?

How long since last reboot of device?

Asking these things, as those can have an impact on things - so if synching, perhaps try whacking those apps with your task killer and see if that smoothes things any. Also tweak the o/c downward if it's high.

@XTmo

ROMs load w/ their own kernels, so you switch out (flash) the one you want to use with the ROM of choice. They work one at a time.

This should help in understanding: http://www.wjddesigns.com/2010/07/02/droid-incredible-custom-kernels-the-what-where-and-why/

Some of the info on that link is dated as far as custom kernels available, but you'll get the idea of kernel what/how/why.

To verify which is installed: Go to Settings>About Phone>Software Information> this will show you what kernel is installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Killa200:
Seems #5 is starting to slow down just as #3 did with me now. Just had to FC adw launcher is it locked, which brought the phone up and working again. Task killing everything but SetCPU / SuperUser / Fancy Widget. No overclock, but locking speeds to 998mhz (stock 1ghz speed) with SetCPU by setting both the low and high as 998mhz.

Synching Gmail, 2 IMAP accounts, and Weather.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Well the slow down I got with #5 came at the 60 hour mark of the phone being awake just like it did with the last few versions Kings BFS kernals.

For the poster that asked before, I am running a basic deodexed version of the official 2.2. No overclocking and I left setcpu alone so it is still on Interactive (no profiles) at stock speeds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smtom:
I guess I start lagging after 60 hours too :p

To be fair, I got lag almost instantaneously w/ #4 no O/C, and I power down & charge the device nightly; But #5 has been smooth as silk for me.

Dalvik

I want to try this kernel out. I've flashed other kernels here and there, but never flashed the dalvik cache. I figure I should do that when I try a new kernel out. My question is how exactly do you do that? And that won't wipe my ROM right?

I know this is probably answered, but I can't find it.

peace
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smtom:
No worries - we've all been there; It will not wipe the ROM.

Read all of this before you do anything, as there are navigation steps to follow that will help you. Similarly, some good practices to navigate and order of doing things.

Power down the phone. Once off, press the power button and hold volume DOWN button simultaneously - it will boot into the hboot white background screen - Give it a sec to check itself. The list of options on the bottom include Recovery. Volume down to select this, press power button. It will present the Clockwork Mod (CWM) screen - black w/ green lettering. Trackball down to advanced, Trackball down to wipe Dalvik cache, select with Trackball - it will go to another screen, Trackball to choose yes, verbiage below will indicate Dalvik is wiped.

Use power button to back out of menus.

You know how to select the kernel and apply it, yes? If not, d/l it to your sd card FIRST, where you can find it. Then blow Dalvik's nose as indicated, then in CWM Trackball to install zip from SD card after Dalvik's nose-blow, Trackball as appropriate to where you stored the kernel, Trackball thru to apply, then back out using power button and reboot from CWM

Dalvik is wiped, new kernel installed - yee haw!

Post if issues ~ glad to help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dimebagdan65:
Your ROM will be unharmed. It's basically the same as defragging in Windows. If you're using ClockworkMod Recovery its in the "advanced" section.

NOTE: first boot after a Dalvik wipe can take a while so be patient. All subsequent boots will be normal

I've tried most of kings kernels honestly I find cfs 3 as the fastest and smooth. I don't understand how you guys are getting great performance from any of the bfs kernels even 5 is choppy and laggy. Sure I can get 1600 in quadrant but lockscreen,homescreen,and app drawer all lag. I would love another cfs kernel based on new code but for now adrynalyns kernel is my daily driver.

So I just tried updating my prl to 65144 and mine reads off 65024...the update is based off of location, right? Not everyone will have 65144 when they upgrade?? And for some reason whenever I boot periodically, my 3g disappears but will come back after like 5-10 mins.

Any suggestions?

Text messaging Issues

I posted this in the Vanilla 3.0 section and I figured why not try here.

what's up everyone. Just wanted to see if anyone is having an issue with text messaging? I searched through this thread thinking it might be related to the ROM and I couldn't find anything. Here's my issue:

When responding to a text, I'm in landscape mode replaying to a text and the screen freezes for a few seconds. It then kicks me out of the message and into my list of messages. When I then select the message I was just working on (my text is still there) and try and type, I can't see any letters show up. I have to flip to standard view to see the letters show up while typing. I have to reboot to fix the issue every time. I am using handcent.

Thanks in advance for the help.

So I put SetCPU back on with one profile (screen off) and modest OC'ing and am definitely seeing better battery life than without SetCPU installed. Running Skyraider Vanilla 3.0 RC3 and KK 5 is now working great!

One thing I have noticed since flashing #5, occasionally the screen will not time out all the way. It will go to dim, but not shut off. Only way to fix it is either push the power button, or reboot. Anyone else having this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
When I ran kk#5 I didn't have those screen off problems... that's interesting about the setcpu thing though. I wonder... maybe this only applies to SR3 but perhaps the HAVS function is draining more battery than it is saving? Just a shot in the dark here. I didn't try it without setcpu but I think I will and see if my system usage still remains at a perma-100%.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Hey king, I've got another technical question about the AVS code in your kernel source.

In arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-scorpion.c you define a static function acpu_set_vdd, but it's never called. What's the purpose of this?

More importantly, clock_state.acpu_set_vdd is set from msm_acpu_clock_platform_data.acpu_set_vdd, but this field is never set. Shouldn't you be setting this in arch/arm/mach-msm/board-incrediblec.c where incrediblec_clock_data is initialized?

Without this being set, is the AVS code actually doing anything?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Please people, stop it with the dalvik cache clearing suggestions for installing a kernel. The kernel has absolutely nothing to do with the Android Java VM.

In other words, the way that cache is generated or used is not going to change between kernels. There is no relationship whatsoever and any behavior changes you think you have observed with or without a dalvik clear are purely a placebo effect.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
BFS v. CFS

I'm sure most of us have reviewed this comparison of CFS and BFS. I have plenty of unix/linux experience to made me terribly dangerous. :D

From their conclusion:

We all like low latency, and our DINC awake time is almost all interactive, which would lead me to believe that the BFS scheduler is superior to CFS on a DINC.

Conversely, CFS appears to outperform in other areas - such as batch processing as noted above. Additionally, since CFS is the default kernel scheduler I have to assume it's generally superior to BFS.

However, is that superiority relevant to a DINC (or other Android device)?

CFS strikes me as overly complex, from a scheduling standpoint, for a phone.

So my question: Given the choice between king's BFS and CFS kernels, which should be superior on a smartphone? I'm not looking for anecdotal evidence (eg: "I ran each for a day and the [x]FS is better). Has anyone attempted to benchmark the two on their DINC? What were the benchmarked results? Of course all of this must include the reality that CFS/BFS were never intended (as they were written) to handle this sort of scheduling. Lastly, are we shooting ourselves in the foot by running SetCPU (if one isn't overclockin)? That is, if not overclocking, doesn't SetCPU - by design - negatively impact scheduling?

Sorry for the long post. The reality is that for me both run fine. However, as Android evolves, and great kernels like king's do as well, now seems as good a time as any to raise the questions. Thanks for reading (if you made it this far!), and I look forward to input.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Welcome to the DINC world. King increments from 1 as he cooks new kernels. So 1 would be the oldest, and 5 the newest.

CFS and BFS are essentially CPU schedulers. If you'll read my post above you can see that I'm in the same place you're in, in terms of which is superior. I'm running BFS #5 now with no problems though, overclocked to 1.13 through SetCPU (in Market), and am stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr4r4n:
it is a truely amazing device, i mean i love my d1 dont get me wrong but i use my phone alot for work and personal and it keeps me balanced well, i left that i outgrew the d1 because i needed more i got a chance to get a almost new DINC with an amoled screen so i am very happy, the space, screen and performance are all, well incredible lol, i read and write long posts so its all good, i have become pretty proficient in android the differences between the d1 and INC threw me off a bit, i just wanted a kick ass sense rom (using skyraider as well) now kernel # 5 and i was going to ask you about the radio, because i see you are using the second to last one released, and i was just wondering what reason you chose that one, the only thing which is why the kernel was such a question was i got my d1 very well controlled on its battery and i see my percentage drop quite a bit more on the INC i would only hope i can pick up an extended battery around me to counter it

I think this is going to be another area where mileage may vary. I ran 09.01 today (7hrs up, 3 awake). From full charge to recharge I dropped from 100% to 75%. Usage comprised of ~35 minutes of voice, sending ~20 emails, 5 texts, 10 pics, and streaming Pandora sitting in DC traffic (about 90 min). This was an unusual day of usage for me though. Generally I'm much more email/voice heavy, more texts, more tweeting, more browsing. I'll have a better idea of the impact, if any, of 09.01 coming off a bump charge before work Monday morning.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
I hate to say this but I still find stock kernel & even adrynalyns kernel to feel snappier than any of these kernels. While I may not get 1600 quadrant score. The overall performance of the phones is much quicker. Just my 2c. Not dissing any of kings work but maybe less is more. An over clockable charging fixed version of stock would be sweet.

P.s. I could never understand why interactive governor is all the rave. Every time I've tried it, it just acts like ondemand but with lower quadrant score. It just sits at max CPU mostly and occasionally bumps down to 245 for a sec.
