I just installed Virtuous Custom Kernel - Version 2 without any issues. All I did was wipe the dalvik cache. I'm still not a firm believer that wiping the battery stats does anything. Now to setup SetCPU... I will report back in a couple days.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
I tried bump charging with wiping battery stats a couple days ago. Didn't see any difference.

I be watching for your post. I'm happy with my rooted stock. This phone has more tricks than a $2000 hooker. The battery life is the big problem for me.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
In regards to wiping battery stats, here's what I do and what seems to work good for me.

This is best to do when you have times when you wont need your phone to much.

1. Full charge phone while phone is on

2. Leave USB/power cord plugged in and turn power on phone off

3. Wait for the LED to change from orange to green while phone is off, this means you have a full charge.

4. Power on phone to get to recovery

5. Go to advanced > clear battery stats

6. Reboot phone

7. Pull out charge cable once your phone fully boots

8. Fully kill phone battery without plugging it in to USB or power the phone until it dies completely

9. Turn phone back on with charge plugged in after battery fully dies and phone shuts itself off, charge till 100%

I also keep my screen brightness down really low, this seems to help maintain good battery life too.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Those are good detailed directions. I had been wondering about when to plug and unplug. I also never fully discharged the battery. Li bats don't have memory issues so why fully discharge? Is the claim that this effects or resets something in the OS? If so where does this info come from? I wonder if someone pulled it out of his butt and it has become doctrine. Did you really see a difference? Did you try something else like lower screen brightness or setcpu at the same time?
[Droid Incredible General] BzBz:
i've been running bfs #4 on stock rooted 2.2 for about a week now. loaded the kernel through clockwork. it's working good for the most part and i've been keeping it mostly at stock speeds. however, i have noticed an occasional lag here and there (that i didn't noticed with the stock kernel) but no reboots or lock ups. i'm going to disable setcpu to see if that has any impact.
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
You pose a good question. I myself dont know the source of the battery stat information, and coming from apple products I've been conditioned to not asking questions, but I can claim from experience that wiping the battery stats help the OS more accurately report the battery percentage.

Since I recently reflashed a new rom and kernal, my discharge rates were rather wonky. The first 15% went pretty fast (as they usually do) since I didn't bump charge. Then it remained normal till 50% when it spiked till 20%, then remained normal till 15% where it took forever to diminish.

Wiping the battery stats will help this number be more consistent since (to me) it helps the OS learn about the battery in conjunction to the kernal being used. I'm assuming that this feature exists because we can swap batteries. Ever curious why apple locks their batteries in their devices? If I had to guess it would be to avoid this whole debacle. They only use one type of battery for each device and as such can report battery percentage more accurately. Plus its easier for them to design.

I've gotten sick of bump charging, so I reset my battery stats after charging to full and not bump charging. This should give me a more accurate drop in battery for the first 15%.

This is all information I've gathered through experience. I do not program these devices, so take it for what its worth. If any Li-ion engineers are around here, help!
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
Just an update. I've been running Virtuous for a few days now. I thought I installed Custom Kernel v2 but the System Settings say v1. I'll have to look into that. Kinda odd.

Anyway, I also am using SetCPU, which I think is responsible for most of the savings I have received. I've got the default scaling set to Conservative. Additionally, I have a Screen Off profile of 245 max / 245 min in Powersave and a Battery < 10% profile of 806 max / 245 min in Conservative.

I'm still playing the kernel / SetCPU game for the optimum settings but I've bought another 1.5 to 2 hours of life without feeling any real performance woes. I'm hard on the phone and use it a lot. That's what we have them for, right?

I had issues with King's Kernel #4. My phone, at times, would get real sluggish without even using SetCPU. I may try some of his older kernels or his next kernel (when it's released) to see how it behaves.

Just wanted to touch base. Thanks for the previous input and guidance.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Thanks for the update! I think my greatest savings so far has been from a screen off profile at about 460 max. I also have a 50% and a 30% profile.
[HTC Vox] DAz999:
I have updated to 6.5, but my keyboard layout is wwe and i need Norwegian keyboard layout, if anybody could point me in the right direction, i would appreciate it. this relates to the slide out keyboard
[HTC Vox] DAz999:
ok, found various Norwegian keyboard files almost all were custom made and not fully mapped correctly.

But the good news is I found one that seems to map everything correctly on the slide out keyboard, its a small cab file just copy to your vox and then run on vox, job done.

I hope this is helpful to others as well.

Please note, this is only for the slide out keyboard, it does not effect your Windows Mobile display language, so will work on any language version installed

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempfr:
I'm using Elelinux v1.8 and I'm very happy. It's a great job.

BUT it's using a 2.6.29 kernel.

So my question is : is there a 2.6.32 for Hero (gsm) somewhere.

I found the android 2.6.32-msm, but I don't want to work on this job if it was already done ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Moved to Q&A as perhaps better suited as a question.

People are working on a .34 kernel port just now (See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765701 for info)

No kernel beyond 2.6.29 is available in usable form for hero though, as it requires significant changes which are "in progress", sort-of.

Hope this explains it.

[EVO 4G General] gotanykush:
Hey guys I live in a 4g area and had it for about 2-3 weeks now, been getting great connecting till I tried it the other night. Now all I get is connecting to Sprint and then disconnecting. This loops over and over. I've checked my MAC and everything is the way it should. I've never changed anything either like flash a new Rom or a new wimax. Anyone have any idea. Think its my phone? The 4g tower since its not officially here yet. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
If you are not in a 4g service area, then you cannot get reliable service.
[EVO 4G General] fuzion22:
If you are rooted, you might want to try what is listed below. It was suggested by another member on the WIMAX thread in the development Section. THis is to check your RSA Keys. My RSA keys are broken and I have the same issue as you. 4g connection is detected/available but cannot connect and the connection resets over and over again. MAC Address is correct and all that good stuff with the most current Radio & WIMAX version. I am also in a 4g area that is not official, but my buddy can connect w/o a hitch.

Use Terminal Emulator:

"Also go into terminal. Make sure your are superuser, remount /system as RW, then type in "grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0", you should get RSA PRIVATE KEY BEGIN, and RSA PRIVATE KEY END at the bottom of the listing. If not your Wimax keys are hosed."
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Just a heads up

I was in a local mall in New Hampshire, USA looking at cellphone cases for my vibrant at one of those kiosk and noticed two more booths was an Invisible-shield booth with demonstrations...ect

Long story short i picked up a full body InvisibleSHIELD for $25 and they installed for $5 bucks and did a great job.
[Vibrant Accessories] rpesigan6:
many people have complaints with with invisible shield. the main problem is that it gets dirty easily
[Vibrant Accessories] Crossrocker:
agreed
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
It does seem to have a slight sticky feel, I figured its because it takes 24-48 hours to fully cure

Is this how it gets dirty?

edit

never mind i see what you mean

Well ill see, if i dont like ill just remove.

Whats a better alternative if i decide to remove?
[Vibrant Accessories] seojuhwan:
My invisible shield is clean all around basically... but I didn't know anything about zagg when I got it.
[Vibrant Accessories] MUSASHI66:
Zagg seems to be getting some bad reviews on this forum. I bought it the day I ordered my Vibrant and installed it the day I received it. Back looks awesome, and it is not nearly as slippery as the back cover alone. Front however.... zagg is slightly narrower than the screen, and it is bugging me. Also, it is far from invisible on the front, but I guess I will live with it rather than having my screen scratched. What really sucks is that the "full body cover" does NOT cover the corners nor the bezel, and we know what happens to these phones if you drop them.

I will have my case soon, as I planned - I put the zagg on so my phone does not get scratched with the particles that get under the case. Once I have the case on, I will feel a bit more comfortable handling the phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gix0r:
I had a BSE(bestskinsever.com) on my iPhone screen for 2+ years. I took the back skin off because of the "dirt" issues and because it didn't stay on the rounded edges very well. I just applied a skin to my Vibrant. As far as I know, BSE are identical to Zagg/Invisible Shield, but around 1/3 or 1/2 the cost. Some people don't like them, but it gives me peace of mind to know my screen is more protected.
[Vibrant Accessories] kiddiosky:
I brought the T-Mobile case the first day I got my Vibrant. After two months I decided to get the Invisible Shield for the back. The phone itself is big enough already, I dont need any extra bulk feel too it. For the Screen Protector I'm using Realook which is alot better then Clearfreak I had at the beginning.

As someone posted, the Invisible Shield doesnt protect the Chrome or Edges around the phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
My second day with it. Now tht its fully cured

The back feels great

The screen not to much. Its somewhat finger print resistant but at the same time playing FPS game like nova you fingers dont slide as good on screen and has kind of a rubbery feel.

How does Realook feel is it a harder surface?
[Vibrant Accessories] disturkis4u:
Realook is hard and not sticky at all
[Vibrant Accessories] djunio:
I love invisible shield, its on ny vibrant and nexus. It's is kinda sticky at first but after a few days its perfect and it never gets bubbles n it.
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Yea woke up this morning "day 3" and picked up phone and its not sticky anymore.

Im really liking this.

With the invisibleshield on the back the battery cover feels solid and gives the phone an overall solid feel to it.

Also the battery cover comes off easier now

I might remove screen protector though IDK. Im more worried about the plastic back cover scratching. The screen was more for reducing fingerprints than actual scratching , im mean its gorilla glass and all. I never had any issues with my N1.

Thanks for the heads up if i decide to remove the one on my screen now ill give that a shot
[Vibrant Accessories] kiddiosky:
For the Screen Protector, get the Realook. It feels and look like nothing is there....
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
So i took off my front piece i hate it. Left the back piece because i like the way it feels and still protects back from scratches.

Got a realook SP just finished installing and yup its 10 times better than invisible shield SP like others said it doesn't feel really any different than it does without one on
[Vibrant Accessories] Dragoth12:
Dang, shoulda bought Realook, it is soooo much cheaper than the one I bought. The brand I got is good (it's not a Zagg brand), and I have no complaints, but I paid 20 bucks a piece for them (I have two Vibrants, one for me and one for the wife :D )

You can get a 2 pack of these Realook Screen protectors from Amazon.com for 11 bucks shipped.....coulda saved myself 35 bucks :mad:
[Vibrant Accessories] seojuhwan:
Learn from your mistakes.

I got zagg too. I'm not hating it but definitely would like to save some money... :D
[Vibrant Accessories] khmerpride:
Yeah, I also got the invisible shield but I just ordered the realook sp a couple days ago for the front.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MartinMueller2003:
Hi All

While I am a relative noob when it comes to Android development (I have been an embedded developer for over 25 years), I am pretty good at creating custom embedded kernels for MIPs targets. However, this issue seems to be getting the best of me.

Environment:

Ubuntu 10.04 + any automatic upgrades

HTC desire phone, rooted, running cyanogenmod 6.0.1 (and 6.1.0 from the daily builds)

Issue: I am trying to add batman-adv to the phone, but I cannot create a batman-adv.ko that insmod will load. When I put my ko file on the phone and try to load it I get "insmod: init_module 'batman-adv.ko' failed (Exec format error)" (Yes I am in su mode). I know that this generally indicates that I have built for the incorrect architecture and I suppose that is the real question. How do I GET the correct architecture.

I extracted a ko from the phone that works on the phone and ran 'file' on it:

ah6.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

and this is what I get on my ko

batman-adv.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Based on this, the architecture is correct (or appears to be correct).

EDIT1:

I am getting a bit closer. I get this in dmesg

batman_adv: version magic '2.6.35.4-cyanogenmod-gb7da4b8-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.35.4-cyanogenmod preempt mod_unload ARMv7

Looks like I need a way to remove the "-gb7da4b8-dirty" portion of the string (actually avoid having it there in the first place).

End EDIT1

Build environment:

I have downloaded (via repo / git) and built the cyanogenmod SDK (daily build from 9/11/2010 kern: 2.6.35.4). The output of a build of this repo is an update-foo.zip file which I loaded on the phone and verified that it works properly. The repo includes a kernel-msm directory with (an apparently) fully functional kernel build tree (as well as the sdk and ndk trees).

I have pulled the config.gz file from the (working nicely) phone (update-foo.zip version), unzipped it and fed it into the build system. Answered the annoying questions you get when you merge in a new config file and added batman-adv to the selected loadable modules list to be built (also had to play with the file to fix a few other issues).

Build script looks like this (CCOMPILER points to the pre-built compiler in the sdk):

cd $SYSTEM_PATH || exit

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch cyanogen_bravo-eng

cd $SYSTEM_PATH/kernel-msm || exit

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j$CPU_COUNT clean || exit

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j$CPU_COUNT | tee build.log ||

The build completes just fine and I get all of the expected ko's. I have not tested the kernel itself since I am not really interested in it. It should be the same as the kernel built by the SDK and included in the update-foo.zip file. Worst case the KO would load and crash if the ko and the kernel on the phone were incompatible (I would be happy to get that far).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MartinMueller2003:
Issue is resolved.

While the insmod function returned a bad format error, it was really complaining about the magic number mismatch. Once I took care of matching the ARMv5 vs ARMv7 issue and then did an over ride on the KERNELVERSION string, I was able to load and execute the ko without any additional issues.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M_T_M:
Wow! You do like to write don't you mate? :eek:

I'm glad it got resolved....should I close this thread or you want to get some more input? :confused:

Cheers,
