Ok so i had the strangest experience to date with my phone. Im running cm6 9/7 with decs #13 kernel with setcpu on autodetect. Last nite around 4am the battery was low so i plugged it in b4 i went to sleep. So i wake up at 8am to find my phone completely off with no status light(green or orange) plugged into the wall charger... i held the power button down and nothing, i pull the battery nothing, finally i changed chargers and finally it boots up. I thought maybe the battery had died for some reason but it was full when it booted up. Any thoughts? I seriously thought my phone bit the dust for a minute.

Being that it is probably the most stable this kernel has been. I'd think its worth it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Well, whatever.

Gps is mostly stabilized.

HOW it's stabilized is because the rr_interval is kicked down; probably because s0be is right and there is a certain polling interval that has to match with the gps hardware.

That being said...

On the basis of multitasking regarding this change:

This kernel is not meant for heavy multitasking.

It's meant for high performance, single task efficiency.

Don't cry to me when it falls apart, it's probably not as stable as well, the stable

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb devices

adb shell

echo "NORMALIZED_SLEEPER" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

echo "NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

Ok, this is messed up..... Do you want to know why? Because my phone (HERO) is running 2.2 with the lastest BFS Kernal from Decad3ce.... IT'S FLYING, I'm not joking this is just going ape ****... all OVER THE TUBE... It's working very well and im so impressed with all the work into all the froyo mods....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Are you drunk? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Okay, I did extensive testing of the GPS, and I've gotten mixed results. Keep in mind I tested for about 15 minutes per setting, and adjusted the filter in GPS status on None, Slight, and Medium.

GPS works well while constantly moving, and well means consistent lock for about 5-7 minutes before being "stuck"; at times, for as long as 1 minute. Also, if at any time you stop, that same sticking occurs. This means that works well enough for most Navigation scenarios, but obviously isn't as consistent as the stable kernel.

For me personally, I think I'm gonna stay with it rather than back to stable. It's good enough to function reasonably well for GPS, and its like my phone injected caffeine into its pupils its so fast. Keep up the fantastic work Dec, this is truly fantastic.

Downloading from the Market works fine, but attempting to use the Downloads menu does cause on error. Maybe it is a regional thing, though that would be weird. Either way, doing a full wipe just in case, and will see if it does the same with the stable kernel

So, what you are saying is to get some sleep and wait till daylight and see if the market comes up, lol !!!!

Kernels won't flash

So I tried flashing #14 and latest BFK over CM6. Don't get past the HTC boot screen. I even tried #11, which worked int the past with RC1, and that won't boot either. I've reformatted the sd in as many ways as possible, wiped dalvik, didn't wipe dalvik, did a clean install, tried to install over nandroid, etc., etc. Nothing. I've successfully flashed and run 768 kernel before (and used it at that speed), including, as I mentioned, #11, but can't get this to work. Any ideas?

Did you push the new file, the ramzswaps.ko for the BFS ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
I am using the most recent (9/20) stable release of CM6. JIT is off. Kernel is standard that came with CM6 (2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod ameer@darchstar #2) I have a few questions:

1. I have installed and am using the Collin_ph Battery tweak zip file. If I install this Decad3nce Uncapped #14 @ 768, will the battery tweak still work? I do not like messing with SetCPU to set over/undervolts and like how the Collin tweak manages all this.

2. Main difference between the normal CM6 kernel and this are? I find that CM6 is already pretty fast, is there that much of a difference using this kernel? What are the other benefits? I'm hesistant to change something when I'm pretty happy with it already. Thanks in advance!

Comparisons of BFS & CFS

http://www.cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/data/bfs-v-cfs_groves-knockel-schulte.pdf

http://lwn.net/Articles/351058/

I believe that CFS is used by default in a stock kernel. If that is the case, then is CFS implemented in the Stable branch by Decad3nce and in Cyanogenmod by darchstar? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
Is that file necessary if the user is not implementing Compcache?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zansatsu:
1. The search feature on this thread is very handy ;), I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7738772&highlight=collin_ph#post7738772

It looks like it's been working in CM6 for a while.

2. I find this kernel to be very responsive. A lot of the menu lag issues have been fixed. Overclocked, nothing beats this kernel. That being said, it's really just a matter of what you want. If you are fond of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" over "streamlined performance," then stick with what you have. I've always liked the bleeding edge so these kernels quench my thirst without all the major bugs that come with the bleeding edge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
BFS is a different scheduler, it replaces CFS. If I recall correctly, BFS is better for straight up performance, but CFS is better for multitasking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, the battery tweak will still work nicely, and the advantages are improved performance/battery and the ability to overclock higher for us speed demons :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Your flash must've corrupted somehow. If the initial rebuild of dalvik is a failure, you'll have to reflash the ROM over itself again to fix all the broken packages.

No FC on setcpu, running same kernel. Check your settings.

Works fine.

On battery tweak:

You shouldn't have to reflash the battery tweak. That should only be necessary when flashing a new ROM. You may have to reconfigure it though

On diffs in stable kernel:

You'd have to do a diff of our git repo's to get all the changes from his repo to mine. The main one is just unlocked freq table.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Visionikz03:
Tested BFS with GPS on the way home and once it locks it seems to hold... its kinda jittery when making turns but it works. Someone else mentioned this and idk if its a kernel thing or a ROM thing but GPS takes FOREVER to lock sometimes not at all. Anyone speculate wat could be causing this? With GPS testing apps it locks instantly but with Maps, Navi etc it drags... ive tried it with multiple kernels on all different versions of CM6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I've never seen these gps problems... I must be fortunate :D If you notice long lock times, download gps status from the market, go to settings, gps configuration, and clear GPS data (also download their add on for gps locks)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azr6:
No I did not. Is this a needed file?

My setcpu settings are fine Decad3nce. I didn't change them from the previous kernal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No this is not a needed file, only push this if you want to use compcache with the ramzswap.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
So far everything is working great on this kernel except 1 thing. When I try to unlock my screen after its been off for a wihle it take 1-2 seconds before it will let me slide the unlock bar over. This also happens when I am trying to answer a phone call just takes a little longer. I have to wait a few seconds 3-4 to be able to answer the call. My settings were 768/652 screen on and 352/480 screen off. I have since turned off the screen off setting and now luck...

When I go back to the last stable kernel it fixes this issue...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
So what kernel are you running now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
The reason is because i set the default back to 'ondemand' cpu governor when interactive was still unstable with it.

Switch to interactive, you won't have lockscreen lag.

Then again, I don't use setcpu and I experience barely any lag even with ondemand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you use the battery tweak? How well does it work for you? I tried it a couple of times and always went back to set CPU in the end.

Sometimes it won't even use the ringtone I have assigned to a contact. It will just go to the default sound but this has been happening since I started using cm6. But its asmall price to pay to have froyo on my hero. Thanks for all your hard work Deca!
