hizzz,after using for a week MDJs 2.3 clean with the S series, i know use your 8.5, always with the 2.3 clean version, i have concluded that the best kernel ever used is this : h8.5 and the S2, i have to say that this kernel is very very fast after 2 reboots,very good photos,everything works!keep on the good work.

i'm using ROM 3.14 ORIGINAL with RADIO 2.15

MDJs 2.3 clean kernel hastarin 8.5

Hastarin and all,

So I mentioned 2 days ago I installed your MDJ2.3 + 8.5b Kernel.

In airplane mode on fresh boot, battery drain was low but still spiky and very inconsistent though everything ran great.

Last night I upgraded to the 8.5 non beta (is it any different?) Well my HD2 seems to think so. With everything on (gps/wifi/3g/sync/BT) and OC to 1152 using Smartass profile, my standby drain settled in to an average of 3-5ma.

3-5ma What the F***! I rarely see 4 but now 3!!! Used to have 6-10ms. Wow, that's terrific. That's more like it! While I was sleeping it used about 1.1% per hour for 8 hours! In the words of Ray Winston (sexy beast) FANTASTIC.

Best of all, hardly any spikes (which used to be around 60-70ma and above and would last 1-3 minutes each time) Now the spikes I am getting don't last as long, are not as high and are probably just my normal updating/sync apps.

Ohh, and QUADRANT is happy as well at over 1600...best score to date on this HD2.

Built in LED notifications don't work anymore even with the charge/reboot trick but I am trying "LED me know".

Works perfect. Overrides charging light when applicable which is the way I like it. FINALLY!

Would like a flash setting under 300ms but oh well. LOVE the way it will flash your BUTTONS along with the LED. That rocks.

One issue with LED me know is that the battery drain spikes during notification and it's not consistent. It seems like NORMALLY it does not tax the battery much but every 3 or 4 minutes there is a spike that lasts about a minute. I might try living with this for now.

Hastarin...thanks.:)

Upgraded from 8.4 to 8.5 this afternoon, data connection starts after 5 minutes the phone has booted, then crashes after 30sec (the H logo disappears), then restarts after 5minutes and so on...

So I re-installed 8.4 kernel which is working nice (few data connection crashes but less than with 8.5).
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gellenole:
time for me to update from 8.5b to 8.5 -- from that little review -- thank you hastarin!
[HD2 Android SD Development] teddyforms:
8.0 -> 8.5?

I am updating from kernal 8.0 to 8.5 is there anything I need to do special other than copy and paste files into Android folder? Last time something went bonkers so I was just wanting to make sure what to do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
That depends on your build version. There's no evo drivers. Please read threw readme file and heed the warnings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] manusfreedom:
Don't forget to:

-use libhtc_ril_wrapper_v0.7

-set correct DNS (google or operator, example for Bouygues Telecom and ppp) in /system/build.prop

-set correct option in /system/etc/ppp/options (depend again of the operator)

-update /system/lib/modules/ bcm4329.ko & cifs.ko & tun.ko

r8.5b_oldcam released

First things first. I just whipped up the oldcam version without the 720P option in the build config. Hopefully this actually works for those on the builds that can't use the new camera driver/libraries.

http://www.multiupload.com/IBBC6WLFJ3

Thank you sir. :)

So that would imply it's a build issue then wouldn't it! ;)

Update released, see above.

The main difference is the smartass governor. I suspect the latest Interactive governor changes have made things worse for it, but I've left it in for now.

Hastarin thank u for the excellent job, I really like your job, I´m using right now Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3cf_Clean_hastarin_r8.5Beta.7z which work very good but suddenly I suffer random reboots, what can I do? (sorry for my english)

But some time i have robo voice, must reboot phone !
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mafioso:
Thanks, excellent kernels...data drops are almost solved...

though few times they do happen but the phone is able to recover from it automatically without toggling airport mode.. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
The latest kernel 8.5b with old camera drivers fixed my Evo rom camera. The battery usage is also now down to 6mA on standby. :D Thank you very much Hastarin. 8.5 is a great kernel. :p

Hastarin, I recall you said that the most you can do for any particular build are 3 kernels so please give us a 8.6 with support of extended battery modelled on the 8.5b old_cam. So it work work out as 8.6a, b and c supporting the 3 profiles i.e. standard, extended battery and camera support :rolleyes:

Anyone using this with froyostone 3.2? Which camera drivers should I use?
[HD2 Android SD Development] atticus182:
Battery Consumption 150-200 ma on r8.5

Hey Hastarin,

It's good to hear that everybody has great battery consumption on r8.5, but I don't! Since upgrading to r8.5 currentwidget shows standby voltages of 150-200 ma, even after rebooting a few times! So now I'm back to r8.2 and it's all good again with 6-9 ma.. Also now my camera isn't working because of the updated drivers already installed. Are more people experiencing high batt consumption on r8.5 or is it really just me?

EDIT: I'm not using SetCPU or any automatic Taskkiller
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
My experience says that 150-200ma draw in standby means an application is misbehaving or there is some issue that possibly CAN be resolved if you trouble shoot thouroughly, especially if you use the KNOWN GOOD setup Hastarin uses.

On a similar note, after writing in about how incredibly better my standby values are (3-5ma on the most part) I am still spotting spikes which I have narrowed down to 1 or 2 apps and bad radio reception. I have a dead spot, where I get zero bars, in the house where my battery drain values were acting up again and I am suspecting that the radio is desperate to lock in thereby consuming more energy. Not 100% sure yet. But tests in areas of best reception give me consistent low 3-5ma drain in standby...mdj2.3 / Hasterin 8.5 / Radio 2.15
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Try hastarin 8.5b_oldcam kernel. It will sort out your camera and it also sorted out my battery drain. As I said above now down to 5mA standby. If that does not sort you out you may want to try a different radio/rom combination. But I can tell you 8.5b_oldcam kernel is very good. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] atticus182:
Okay that may be a cause then because at home I have very bad network reception.

I have just installed the 8.5b_oldcam kernel, and the drain has seemed to stabilize around 5-7 am right now, so that's awesome! I'll let you know if it stays like this for the rest of the day :) .. But now my camera isn't working anymore, presumably because I replaced the files earlier? Does anybody have the old camera drivers that I can use to make it work again?

Data Connection

Hi,

the build looks great but the data connection drops after a few seconds. After that the phone works very slow and I have to reboot it.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
Hi Hastarin,

Just for your information, neither 8.5 or 8.5a_oldcam worked for me in terms of the camera.

EDIT: I just get the black screen. Doesnt matter for me at the moment though as the current kernel works great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Smygflik:
I do, im using the new camera drivers. Works perfectly after replacing the libraries.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
I think you should use 8.5b_oldcam instead of 8.5a_oldcam. Refer to first post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
Oh, thank you. I swear version B wasnt there yesterday! Thanks, will have a try. can always revert back if it causes issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
I am trying 8.5b_oldcam, and the CPU keeps cycling back up to 100% for some reason.

Back to 8.2 UVOC for me :)

EDIT: The same thing just happened with 8.2 and it calmed down after 5 mins....should I have waited with 8.5b_oldcam?

EDIT2: I think I have answered my own question here.

Anyone else getting robot voice since r8.5? I've never had problems before with any builds or zimages. Im using desire spot 2.0. It seems to happen on the first call.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
are you overclocked? because that is usually the cause of random reboots
[HD2 Android SD Development] atticus182:
Yes I have exactly the same problem, only on the first call after reboot! Afther that it's all good :)

But still, when I'm using r8.5b_oldcam the battery drain is 4-8ma but when I use r8.5 regular I'm getting crazy 120-200 ma drain, so weird! I'm not using any different apps, no taskkillers, so I really don't know what's the problem!
[HD2 Android SD Development] stumbleine:
The same is happening to me.

I usually get 6mA in standby with data on, but when I'm somewhere without signal (Where limited service appears on the screen) It begins reporting 150~200mA and there's no application consuming CPU, so I guess it's related to the radio too.

I seems it can't handle the lack of signal.

Hopefully There aren't much places where I don't get signal here.

I'm Using Mdj2.3 with Hastarin 8.5 and radio 2.16
[HD2 Android SD Development] CR5N:
I was running mattc1.8 with Hastarin 8.2 and was very happy. Data drops were a pain but use WiFi at home. Tried 8.5 and it broke the camera but I gave up due to a near constant 200mA current drain. I couldn't see what was causing it but reading recent posts and the fact I live in a sh!7 reception area kinda makes sense. Anyhow, I am trying a different setup and finding the the results good so far. Idle battery drain is a bit higher but my phone lasts through the day. Will try another Hastarin kernel sometime but giving this setup a good test first.

[HD2 Android SD Development] dazzlingdaz:
Thought I was having a problem - but apparently not!

Using ChuckyDroid 21st Nov WM rom, Radio 2.15.50.14 and [BUILD](Nov.23.10) eVo Carbon Remix V0.3.2 (hastarin r8.5 beta) on T-Mobile UK

I live is a really bad aera just on the edge of 3G reception - ie. it keeps switching back and forth between 2g and 3g.

I was noticing spikes every 30 mins or so - but then I found I was using Super Power from XDA as well and had forgotten to switch the schedule settings off that were turning the data back on for 3 mins every half hour.

Now fully stable at 3-9ma in sleep and battery lasting just as it should - data seems to be very stable now too.

Thanks Hastarin and Letama

[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
Hey Hastarin, tried your 8.5b old camera version today and after a few hours had the data lockup issue. I attached logs below. I also was using LeTama's .7 wrapper and Aussiebum's options. I switched back to LeTama's Test 2 kernel and it hasn't locked up at all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] secano:
I'll try 8.5.1 now
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Thanks, I'll try to take a better look at this tomorrow. Heading out for the evening soon.

Searching for "page allocation failure" shows a lot of people suffering from this in different situations. Skimming them it sounds like the root cause of the problem may be fixed in 2.6.35. :(

What happens when you get the lockup? Can you recover it at all without a reboot?
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
had the stuck arrow and toggled data off/on and it worked for about 20min, then it happened again and I tried to toggle data, then tried stop ril-daemon/start ril-daemon in term, then tried airplane and it was still stuck. so had to restart. I then downloaded LeTama's test 2 kernel and used that since I was on the road and using google maps to navigate :). Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
Hastarin,

I did more testing with your 8.5 and MDJ2.3 determined to find the cause of battery drain spikes while in standby usually lasting a minute or 2 in the area of 160ma to 280ma.

Bottom line, with all Sync/background data/gps/wifi/3g off, but basic gsm communication on, I get 3-5ma but with the above mentioned spikes from hell.

When I enable AIRPLANE mode on top of this, I get a rock solid 3ma and NO crazy 160-280 peaks...almost no deviation whatsoever.

Testing this in an area of medium reception quality (2 bars) I am able to get consistent results ONLY with the Airplane mode on.

Testing in an area of GREAT reception hides the inconsistencies so I won't test in those areas.

Am I expecting too much or does it sound like the RADIO 2.15 is freaking out once in a while. OR, is this just the way it is with radios?

I am in Canada on the Rogers network. I also question if it could in any way be related to my SIM card? (it's 3 months old and up to date)

Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android SD Development] badmonopoly:
New kernel cleared my system data and force closes apps...don't use it. I switched back and it's still messed up.

I have to start over again haha. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
I had a similar occurance but not just on this kernel and build. It happened during a battery pull when the os was frozen no fault of the kernel.

This is where BACKUPS come in ultra handy. They are so quick and easy to do with the whole SD card thing. Without a backup I would be depressed to loose my customized setup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] adioph:
new kernel works fine on me, no more music skipping on screen wakeup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dan138zig:
me too has the same problem. it seems that in an area with less than stellar reception, the phone will sometimes lose reception and then searching back for it. hence the spikes.

hastarin, thanks for your hard work. I love your kernels and always use them, no matter the build.

But I have one question - is there a difference between

and having it disabled in the first place. I mean a kernel that doesn't support OC/UV.

I'm asking because I'm having strange issues in versions after 8.2, so I stick with 8.2 and have stable data, no screen freezes and everything works great.

WiFi Error

Hello, WiFi does not work with r8.5 or 8.5.1 for me, but works fine with r8.4. Under Wireless & Networks/Wi-Fi, it simply says "Error", but when I reinstall r8.4 it works great. Anyone else? When I saw that 8.5.1 was released, I figured it must include the WiFi fix.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rafpigna:
Did you copied the root folder?

If yes, try to manually copy the files in the right folder under your /system folder, directly using android via a root file manager.

Most people solved in this wat.
[HD2 Android SD Development] craig.buckie:
It's giving lower battery temperatures from wake-up than usual, 30'C. A first for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Andy240:
Thanks for the reply...I did copy the root folder, but I will try your suggestion. I thought is odd that that WiFi works with 8.4 but not 8.5 or 8.5.1. I'll post after I try it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ming of mongo:
root folder

I think some builds that have a pre-mixed ext image have bad permissions in the /system folder. This will screw up the automatic root folder copy-over.

I was having progressively more problems of various kinds culminating in a big fat wifi erroring out. It got worse with each new kernel I upgraded to. When i manually copied the root folder stuff in, everything worked great again. I was, quite without knowing, using progressively more incompatible modules.

In copying manually, you are probably messing up the permissions too, so either fix them or remember to manually copy each time you upgrade.

Problems that cleared up included; wifi error, battery drain, excessive data drops and an ever increasing wait for waking up.

Kernel development is moving very fast, so you have to keep up on your modules.

typo

I think there is a typo in 99complete for the hastarin_r8.5.1_oldcam (don't know about the others) as the last line should be:

ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

instead of:

ls -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
[HD2 Android SD Development] Andy240:
Thanks for sharing your experiences. What do you mean by "manually copying the files"? I usually do my file manipulation in Windows Explorer, copying and pasting the entire 'root' folder into the Android folder (CM6HTCLeo in this case). If you could elaborate a little, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I figured it out: copy the "root" folder files to the main "System" folder on the phone, not the SD card - sorry, I'm a little slow sometimes.

EDIT #2: Manually copied the root folders over to the system file on the phone, and am still having the original WiFi error. Just for kicks, I even did a hard reset of the phone just in case the system files are stored in the phone's memory so it would do a clean install. Not sure if that's true or not, but it couldn't hurt.

Since it appears not many people are having this problem, it must be a conflict on my phone (Radio? 2.15.50.14 Build? MichyPrima's CM6 Version 4 11202010, Build FRG83)

EDIT #3: Re-downloaded 8.5.1 and reformatted micro SD card and now WiFi works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
OK thanks. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue myself yet. :(

No, it's not. You either didn't reboot (not hot reboot) twice, or you didn't install something correctly.

No I'm waiting until dan1j3l finishes this work before incorporating it. I see he released something else last night so I'll take a look at it again today.

Not a lot. ppp options files and the music wakeup skip fix. Given how easy a kernel change is (on a good build that auto copies files) I'd still suggest doing it though.

Stability wise there should be no difference. Unless you use SetCPU or the sysfs to modify voltages the voltages/speeds used will be the same as the normal kernel.

Thanks. I'll fix that in my next release. It's only of use if you get DNS values from your data provider though. I notice I don't so couldn't really test it.
