Its possible still to use extended batteries with R8 correct? The only thing wrong is the temperature reading? Drainage and regular usage should be fine I assume?
[HD2 Android SD Development] domineus:
I know for git I have a really good battery, backlight issues all but solved but the tradeoff is I do have some screen freezes (that last about 10 seconds)

battery is fantastic on the git autobuild in idle. Hastarin's battery was also really good too just the backlight issue on miui based roms were ... a problem =(
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
a. No

b. I'm using a Nexus One build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] famewolf:
You should try reading the FIRST POST where he specifically says R8 will NOT work for extended batteries.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dbh369:
Don't know if this will help, I had the same problem, then realized I had set one software (realcalc, I think) to keep the screen on. And it was loading automatically.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
Funny thing happened on the way home from work today...

The darned LED notification started working. Now keep in mind that this had NEVER worked before with any kernel. I had simply given up on it because I was not about to start over with a new data.img file just to get that working. Gotta keep my angry birds going. LOL

So, I pulled the phone out of the holster only to see my led flashing amber. I hit the end button and saw that I had a new email. I hit the end button again to put it to sleep and it started flashing again. So I open the email, then put it back to sleep and no more flash. Later on I got a text and it flashed green.

Hastarin... Did you guys put easter eggs in the kernels as little surprises or presents to brighten our day when we least expect it? LMAO
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
Occasionally people tell me that they can hear themselves (voice echo) - but then when I test the thing - and nothing... kind of puzzled ... but battery life - OMG :) ... I got 1 day and 2 hrs with 18% left and that's with 3G data at all times hi hi hi
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Check my FAQ.

hehe Did you upgrade your liblights recently? I believe there is a newer version out there but haven't had time to find and try it yet. But no, no idea what's going on with the LED notifications.

Thanks. I checked RealCalc, it's not the culprit. It stopped doing it after a reboot so I guess I'll have to take note of what I've run recently if it starts happening again.

See the Features section in the first post. Though git now has interactive governor too.

That big a drop is most likely build related and from having stagefright player disabled to fix the green line in YouTube HD video.

I've already commented multiple times on overclocking and I'm not going to repeat myself here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
You are correct. I have the HTC extended battery and will not work without covering the temperature sensor. I have after market extended battery that temperature reading works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Timp74:
Hi noellenchris,

Thanks for the suggestion about the .acdb file. It fixed the echo for me!

Intrestingly, the shubCRAFT v2 rom already has a default.acdb.

I found:

1. With no default.acdb I get robot voices(although the other person can hear me fine.)

2. With the default.acdb from shubCRAFT the other person would hear an echo.

3. With the leo_htcleo.acdb from git it's all good... so far...

This is on a unbranded european HTC HD2. With 2.12.50.2_02 radio, Miri XtraLight V24 winmo, shubCRAFT v2 + hastarin r8 kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hashnon:
Keep in mind that the file need to be named htcleo.acdb and not leo_htcleo.acdb, the last one name is given because of erroneous file name report to browser by gitorious.org, it happens if gitorious.org system can't determine type of file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] M&ate:
I've been experiencing some interesting issues since my upgrade to 8 from 7.6:

*Freezes and slowdowns: Ive linked it to data usage, but have experienced it indifferently. This is concerning and I would like to know if there is any way to isolate the issue? It feels like it may be a ram issue. I was involved in the iphone modding community for a while, and it feels similar to when the iphone needed a soft reboot or a "respring."

*Overheating: Yesterday I was at work, and experienced (for the first time) voltage runaway. I was lucky I caught it, but I did a battery pull and let the phone cool down.

I'm currently using Mattc's 1.8 (latest build). I've uninstalled setcpu, and haven't used a task killer ever.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmattmanz:
Extended Battery Support

I can't seem to find a clear answer on this. I know that a kernel must support extended battery for Android to even function or boot, but does this mean they are reporting the correct % for the higher capacity.

I bought the OEM battery and it finally arrived yesterday but power usage still seems high. I read at one point that users were having to reinsert the battery to get the additional 50% out of it -- I don't know if this is the case with my battery (which would explain the higher usage since it's draining at the rate of a normal battery) or if something is borked with my setup (akin to the 60ma problem in standby).

Trying to figure out if I'm seeing real gains in battery life or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] louie317:
Read!!!

If you are using someone else products, at least read his/her post.

This Hastarin r8 DO NOT support ext. battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmattmanz:
I'm using 7.7. Thanks for being useless.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TonyCubed:
It should report the correct percentage (%), I have seen no complaints saying otherwise.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmattmanz:
Thanks. Then something must be screwed up with my build. I'm at 35% after being unplugged for only 7 hours. I could get those numbers on the stock battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JamesRC:
Ddefinitely experiencing touch screen lag. Hopefully its the ls polling which has been changed on git...
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
http://androidspin.com/2010/11/06/d...int-evo-google-nexus-one-and-possibly-others/

I use a wall charger to charge my batteries but I get at least 30 hours use. This is even watching TV on slingbox 1.5 daily. I know that it is stated no need for setcpu with r8 but I still have sleep profile set. I don't turnoff bluetooth either. I do have gps off and run screen brightness on 25% until I need to go higher.
[HD2 Android SD Development] miguel4u2:
Same here...started after a few days with the build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Released r8.1 and r7.8

I've released r8.1, as usual see the first post/changelog for details.

I also released r7.8 which has some minor build changes to r7.7 that might help extended battery users in dealing with oom issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] neo.25:
Thx hastarin downolading ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] curt_never:
Thanks for your hard work, Hastarin!!!

Just tested, it seems VPN issue is still not fixed. I can connect ,but didn't get data transfering. Is it possible that it's because of tun.ko but not the kernel?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I am not sure. Were you the one trying to use a Cisco VPN?

If so I suspect there is still part of the puzzle missing specific to Cisco.
[HD2 Android SD Development] curt_never:
Yes,I tried to use the cisco vpn server with your kernel. I tested the kernel 4.1(with Hyperdroid buildin) and even the 7.3(modified by mdebeljuh because of premature flash ) also had no problem with VPN tunnel

So, I guess there would be no problem with VPN from the side of kernel but the tun.ko

or it's because there's missing Ipsec tunnel (usually cisco VPN use this tunnel).

Could you please send me a link to download 7.3, I wanted to test the unmodified one and give you a feedback.

Anyway, thanks lot for your effort.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pkchips:
I've already received this really helpful (not) reply from some prat called famewolf.

I looked at every post up to 5 pages back from my post and found nothing.

Instead of telling me to read back in the thread, if anyone knows, could you please actually try answering the question? That's generally a lot more helpful and less annoying.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
hastarin8 was giving me echo in calls (7.7 as well) - changed stock rom/radio got custom one - still problems; finally put bakc ElBartoMe - still same issue plus WiFi didn work - So I finally settled with HyperDroid since everything works on it...

my batt status 88% whrn using hastarin v8.after update to v8.1 and then reboot, my batt status jump to 92%.is it normal?

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] eyanlaya:
Hi hastarin. Can I request could you please upload the kernel in .zip file? So that I can update straight from my HD2 and I dun have to go and find a laptop to extract the .7z file. Thanks a lot for your great work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tyween:
it is in .zip
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Hello hastarin,

Was anything done that would have anything to do with data connection in 8.1? As soon as I upgraded on Core 6 my data has dropped about 100 times worse than I've seen anything before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
Basically no.

He's not going to customize a build for any one user or even a minority of users, when what he's working on works better for the majority. I think he may have mentioned not answering any more stupid questions or repeating the same answer over and over.

Then again, I'm seeing that from a lot of the devs, and I don't blame them. People keep asking rom builders for wacky personalization tweaks that are just over the top.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bountygiver:
it mentioned battery driver changes

maybe its normal
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
Have you tried the rename of the default.acdb file that has been posted several post back? This kernel r8 is working great for me. Going to update to r8.1 now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kwill:
Same here. I actually noticed it on r8 when using Hyperdroid. Thought it was the update of the build at first. Now I just booted Darkstone's Froyo and data was working perfect with the kernel provided. As soon as I replaced it with 8.1 and 8.0, I started getting data disconnects like crazy. Has to be kernel related as I changed nothing else.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nologin:
Awesome update, in particular the new support for tunnel. This update improved my VPN speed a lot. I used to have 50kbps for VPN, but now I have 2100kbps for download which is a huge leap forward.

Thanks a lot, hastarin.
[HD2 Android SD Development] famewolf:
Always weird to see someone replying to a post you didn't see because the person is in your ignore list. Here's hastarin's exact post (on page 183)....about 8 pages or so back from pkchips original post...(my reply to pkchips was on page 192) took about 20 seconds or so to do a "search this thread" and view all posts by user "hastarin" to find it...but I guess that was to logical.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8939966&postcount=1829

Now pkchips can find something else to whine about...oh wait...he'll probably want someone to read it to him.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
Try updating the ril.wrapper file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nologin:
Hi Hastarin, I'm experiencing the same issue.

I mentioned about a speed boost earlier but seems that is because my data simply doesn't go through my VPN.

It used to work fine with the same settings. despite it's slow. Now, however, doesn't work at all.

I can't mount any samba server anymore. Also tried ES File Explorer, it failed a well, so it eliminates the possibility of CIFS modules not properly set up.

Your help is very appreciated, thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kwill:
Did that too. To the one from Letama and got the same result. A disconnect like every 10-15 minutes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Why in the hell does wifi keep timing out. Regular data is fine. Just wifi keeps F'ing up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
Or he had the phone plugged in to the computer, charging, while upgrading kernel?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
I had a higher % reading also after installing the kernel. I did the install with sdcard reader but after unmounting sdcard to reinstall angry birds and 2 reboots the reading is back to the previous level reading.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DreddJudge:
When I tried updating to 8.1 all my applications installed onto the SD card stops working. And when I try re-downloading them from the marketplace it fails. But when I put the old 8.0 kernal back all my applications work as usual..

r8.1 with AngryBirds

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the great job you do on the kernel. It's getting better and better :)

I have right upgraded from r8 to r8.1 and since, AngryBrids can no moor be launch neither reinstalled :confused:

Is anybody have seen the same issue or have a way to a workaround or a solution?

On the other way, I have an other issue: after a long use a the network (or a big download) the icon stay with the upload arrow on and no more wetwork access can be done. During this issue, I can not set to flight mode neither stop data connection.

The only workaround I have is to reboot, but some time more than twice a day :mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] jerrycycle:
Unmount SD card -> Install Angry birds from market or apk -> Mount

Card -> Restore App Data Only using Titanium Backup

Try to update the ril.wrapper file by letama. Some people like myself this has help with the ppp data drops and the arrow up freeze. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824413
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
I confirm it. When upgrading from r8 to r8.1, both AngryBrids and GoogleSkyMap (They have .asec file in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ folder) are not working.

If I go back to r8, they're working again.

Only reboot and nothing changed when switching between r8 and r8.1 kernels.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sentinel196:
Brilliant kernel. Seems very stable so far!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I change kernels regularly, and both are working fine for me.

No idea. I'm now running "WiFi Fixer" and it seems to have helped.

The VPN issue I can't help with. I've compiled in some extra support relating to VPN in the hope it might help people, but sadly it doesn't seem to have done the trick.

You either need to load the CIFS module via a script, or do it with the "Cifs Manager" app (check the settings).
[HD2 Android SD Development] bountygiver:
this is due to they are installed in SD card

EVERY SD Card app no longer work in 8.1 unless you reinstall them

now I have moved all my apps to internal memory (there's 1 GB, no worries)

does it have something to do with this?:

- Removed NFS support

- Moved CIFS support to a module
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
Thanks Hastarin again, your continuous updates keep me looking forward to new kernels and keeping my passion for the HD2 alive.

Seems to work well, did have data issues upon first reboot, toggling the APN/Data off / on did the trick and it's now just as stable as the last.

The lights lib didn't do anything for my CM6 build, it just seemed to sit there and didn't adjust the backlight. Honestly, though I didn't reboot and mess with it, I just used the one from Oct and it's happy again. Probably specific to the CM6 builds or maybe just mine .. either way have a good rest of the weekend, I'm off to finish painting the kitchen....again.....

Chris
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
No. My SD card installed apps still work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nologin:
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. In fact, I have been using your kernels and VPN. It used to work fine, except its slowness, but 8.1 seems to break it. Not sure whether other users experience the same issue as I do.

Thanks for your new kernals anyway.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AlaneCzeQ:
everything is working fine, data seems a bit on the slow side but will wait for battery to drain first and than I will restart everything.

You need to reinstall couple of your apps in my case that was Angry Birds but funny enough still have all of the levels saved.

it is fast and LED IS WORKING !!

wake up time seems a bit faster aswell.

love this kernel very stable indeed :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sevice-computer:
[Solved] network freeze and AngryBirds dead

Thanks,

I installed the wrapper; I wil give a try for few days...

regarding AngryBirds; how do you unmount the sdcard? I tryed umount, but it gives me the error that the card is still in use :(

I answer to myself:

The new wrapper seems to solve the 3g network hangup problem :)

To make AngryBirds work again, I copied the com.rovio.angrybirds.xxxxxxxx.apk to the /data/app dir and it works again!!

Thanks to all of you ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
Hi, hastarin,

Thanks for your effort for making the better kernel.

Well, I upgrade your kernels from r7.6 to r7.7, r8, AngryBrids and GoogleSkyMap are always working after upgrading.

But when I upgrade from r8 to r8.1, they are not working and I cannot reinstall them. (It says "Application not installed" error)

So I wonder if something has changed since r8.1.

Anyways, I have found the workaround.

1. Before upgrading from r8 to r8.1, I should move AngryBrids and GoogleSkyMap from SD card to internal memory first. (They are installed in the SD card by default.)

2. Upgrade to r8.1 and reboot, then these two apps are working well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AlaneCzeQ:
if you got problem with angry birds, just unmound SD card and than install it again - it works, tested.

Also Im getting 7mA in standby but a lot more while using the phone but loaded kernel today at 11am, it is now nearly 6pm and I still have 62 % left after a lot of use :)

when I play with the phone I get about 180 mA
[HD2 Android SD Development] Downy:
Woooho #7.8 is so brilliant fast, just great. Thx Hastarin!!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] 2udCrRAZdK:
Not having any issues at all running apps or with data.

Also, I'd like to confirm that 8.1 does seem to fix the VPN issues I was having.

Before, I could make the VPN connection and download a web page, but then it would stop working.

So far, I'm not having any issues with VPN.

Liking r8.1
[HD2 Android SD Development] groentenman:
Little help

I just updated to Hastarin 8.1 and it works like a charm, however I sometimes have problems with the screen(input). When I unlock I swype to the second screen and the bounces between the homescreen and the screen next to it and my devices just goes berserk. It look like it registers a lot of input, while I am doing nothing. It is randomly opening apps, because it registers input while I'm doing nothing.

I also have this sometimes when after sliding down the lockscreen I try to draw my lock pattern and it does stuff by itself not enabling me to unlock my phone.

I dont use SetCPU, and am running FroyoStone 3.2 I also had this problem with Hastarin 7.6 en 8.0 so it seems it is not kernel related.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
7.8 has the newer liblights and yes it supports extended batteries. I wouldn't have bothered releasing two versions otherwise.

Yeah not sure what would cause that but I certainly haven't heard of it before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clockcycle4mobile:
What have you done to make the STATUS LED working????

Please let me know because mine is the only thing NOT working :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] CrAzY_CbR:

Because SetCPU not scale well? Out of curiosity

Thanks for the R8.1, the battery life is AWESOME!

LEDs work OK

[HD2 Android SD Development] galapogos01:
How are the SYSTEM process exception/CPU hangs with the latest hastarin kernel?

I am on the b47e674 20101105 autobuild (with the PPP patch and himem/lowmem fix) and had one of these today whilst using data in a bad signal area after about 30 hours uptime. Had to reboot. Seeingst I solved my power drain issue (was due to old Radio ROM) I may try one of your kernels again if it solves the SYSTEM issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blades:
ipv6 went well as a module

simply typing insmod /system/lib/modules/ipv6.ko before launching goggles made it happy.

hasta - why do you keep the media_tuner stuff in your config?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I haven't been able to reproduce this in my 8.1 kernel. But I ran out of data for the month for testing. I had an uptime of almost 30hrs, on a pre 8.1, before I rebooted at one stage there. I only rebooted because the phone wouldn't sleep, but I've since traced that to Titanium Backup/Pro. After killing it the phone would sleep again. I've now enabled the "Disable Wakelocks" preference to see if that stops it.

You can see in the features in the first post that this is close to the autobuild you're using, so I'd suggest giving it a try at least.

Good to hear. I may move to this eventually I guess. I would hope most people should be able to handle running that via GScript Lite at least.

If there is more fat I can trim, feel free to let me know what you think I should be removing? Ie send me a diff, or point to specific config lines.

I'm running short on time to go investigating more on my own at the moment.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sxypapi:
so far i just had one problem, data works but i cant send email or send MMS :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] galapogos01:
Thanks for the reply, I will give it a shot and get back to you. There's some bad coverage on my way to work each day so its a good test any PPP related issues :)

BTW, the later kernels (starting with the VM readahead fix) crap all over the one that came with FroyoStone 3.1, for both performance and battery life. I got well over 24 hours with light to moderate usage. So glad I solved my idle consumption issue! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hutc:
Damn good kernel

Mr hastarin thank you very much , i dont like texting i dont use mms , i used two different builds miui 11/05 of mr domineus and hd2 froyo v3 this kernel is awesome dazzling fast , both the builds after using this kernel became awesome fast and highly quick with regard to apps and all other usage

battery consumption with cyanogen builds is like 2% for every hour. I think both the builds quickness has increased by 200% . I am not exaggerating ,this is the truth and the fact.

I dont need nand with this quickness, i can always use it. I am using this right now this is my favourite kernel. Probably will be my default with darkstones next build.can always use wm6 rom in case of emergency

Thanks for not letting extended battery users down hastarin. I'm on your new 7.8 kernel for a couple of days now and everything seems to work perfect, smooth and fast.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimbojack_uk:
I also had Angry Birds disappear after upgrading from 8 to 8.1.

If I unmount SD and install again, it installs to internal memory and not the default SD.

Oh well, at least it works, because 8.1 is smooth and fast.

Thanks hastarin
[HD2 Android SD Development] raysacr:
Thanks hastarin for r7.8! I was so sad when r8 came out and extended battery was not supported. r7.8 has been great so far.
