Hastarin,

So, I had the QUICKEST most successful update/upgrade to date.

I was running Mdeejay 2.3 with Hastarin 8.2 (Patched) with my DATA image setup that is now at least 2 months old or so...

I installed your Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3cf_Clean_hastarin_r8.5Beta and my data image. Booted up super quick. Rebooted to make sure.

I tested the usual suspects (camera/flash/green/5mp...wifi/PPP...compass/gsensor battery drain, OC to 1152 using SmartASS, scroll tested, voice call etc etc)

ALL GOOD!!! ALL GREAT!!!

Super fast upgrade with no hurdles stones or bumps. So easy.

Even tested Quadrant at 1400. Not great/not bad. I never get past 1500. I don't rely on Quadrant scores anyhow. (Had an AT@T SGS Captivate for a month and got 2200 after installing a lag fix but never got anywhere with my HD2. Who cares eh?)

I will do some tests tonight and report back with any anomalies regarding the after call battery drain issue which is probably not an issue anymore.

Thanks, great work, and please use the READ ME folks so Hastarin's DETAILED efforts are truly appreciated and not wasted.

Slow download speed - good upload

When I moved from rmnet to ppp build (some months ago) I had good speeds: both download and upload were fast (around 140KB/sec - 40KB/sec under HSDPA coverage area). Before I had slow upload with rmnet (10-15KB/sec).

The only problem was the data disconnection: upload arrow stucks and data stop working untill next reboot (sometimes I could solve switching in airplane mode).

Now I'm using a Desire HD build and Letama 0.7 ppp wrapper I don't have data stuck any more but my download speed became too slow: I can't get more than 40KB/sec in the same HSDPA area..

I think it happens because every time ppp try to allocate memory to fetch data from radio it fails and so the speed decreases a lot: data is ready but we have to wait for free space. For this reason upload is really fast because it doesn't need free space (and kalloc doesn't fail).

Maybe my problem is that the Desire HD build uses a lot of memory and in my case kalloc fails almost everytime.

What do you think?

Another thing is that I read somewhere that if the kernel is compiled with a "buddy allocator" the kmalloc fails if you try to relocate space because it doesn't reuse unused blocks: you must force it using krealloc... may it help someway?

Thank you!

Quick update to my extended battery problem. I reformatted my microSD card and tried again and now suddenly it works!! I don't

think

I did anything different... anyway, it works now. I thought I should let you know about it.

Glad to be back in the game again :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Good to know. I did a fresh format again myself recently (16k clusters) and it certainly hasn't hurt matters, apart from the time it took to do it. :)

OK folks, based on the largely positive feedback I'm going to release r8.5 tonight. I'll do an eb version as well.

The only change I think I'll make from the Beta is to make the smartass governor the default. I'm not entirely convinced the updates to the Interactive governor are an improvement but smartass is tried and tested with mdeejay's kernels already and I've run it myself for a few days via SetCPU on my own kernels.

Stay tuned. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sodom86:
Have been running the beta since it came out and can confirm it's working great with JDMS 1.5! Battery drain seems solved, green tint solved by modifying the build.prop.

Nice job hastarin! Thank you for your efforts! Hope you'll keep the good work up :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ChrisM001:
Second that: Download Speed seems to be very slow with 8.5. No data drops with wrapper 0.7 but very slow donload. :mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
r8.5/r8.5_eb released

I ran a speed test after having the kernel going for quite some time (can't guarantee how long) and got 2.3Mbps down and 1.22Mbps up. A test after a fresh reboot I got 4.14/1.26. There is no guarantee I was hitting the low memory situation in the first instance though.

Unfortunately at the moment you have a choice. Slower data when the kernel gets low on memory, or an endless loop taking 100% CPU and requiring a reboot. I know which I'd prefer. ;) If data gets slow you can always try a reboot to see if it brings your speed back.

Of course that's presuming I'm correct about my assumptions here. LeTama seems to think I'm not and I still have a few days before I can really stress test data myself, but with 900 downloads of the Beta and largely positive feedback I'm hoping I'm right. :)

On that note I've released r8.5 and r8.5_eb as promised. Enjoy folks. For those already on the Beta I'd say it's probably not worth switching, except it's so easy to do you might as well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ReX83:
Hi Hastarin.

Maybe, in my situation the download goes bad because my build (from Desire HD) uses all the memory and kmalloc fails everytime.

What do you think about kmalloc, krealloc and buddy allocator theory? I think ppp works bad in Android because it's taken from Linux distro and not designed to work with Android standard allocator (wich is different from standard linux one).
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Sadly it's over my head. I'd have to read up on all of it and just no time to do so atm. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] rafpigna:
I confirm: slow download speed and good upload.

I tried speedtest on 3G (HSDPA) just few minutes after the boot I touched 2mbps

Tried speedtest after 2 hours: I touched only 300-400kbps

Rebooted, again 2mbps

Hello, I just did the upgrade to 8.5 but when I start SetCPU tells me that the governor is set to ondemand instead of smartass.

But I read the changelog that should be the default smartass. why?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Check under settings about phone software information to make sure you installed it correctly. I just rebooted to check here and mine is showing as smartass.

Kernel version without updated camera

Hastarin -- it seems that some are having issues updating the camera libraries and application with the newer kernels. For the nexus builds, the camera was working perfectly, and trying to update it only breaks it. For example, I'm using tytung's NexusHD2 FRG83D 1.7 (non-sense, latest Nexus One OTA), and updating the apk and libraries with a root explorer did not fix the broken camera.

Any chance you can release newer versions of your kernel without the updated camera driver for those of us who have working cameras already? Thanks!

Thanx hastarin.

Your last kernel improves battery life in Core Droid v0.8 build.

Keep the good work ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mariad:
Builds, no. You have to check each build to see what each is based on and whether it's a Sense build, Cyanogen etc.

Kernels, like Hastarin's or MDJ's, added to your existing build, yes, that will not be affected.

Thumbs Up

8.5 has improved the battery life tremendously. Where in the beta I was dropping about 15% every 30 minutes I have been monitoring it for the last two and a half hours and it has only dropped 9%...excellent. Plus I haven't had a data drop or freeze in over 24 hours. That hasn't happened since I began using PPP builds. Great jobs!!

Hastarin, all,

A quick question guys, I know the Wrapper does not have anything to do with the Kernel, but I have been doing sooo many changes lately I lost track of the last time I updated my Wrapper but I know for sure it ain't 0.7..

I was trying to follow Le Tama's and your(hastarin) exchanges on solving the data issue, I know you guys have a lil bit of conflicting views (I know u guys are the best of buddies and I ain't trying to start a feud here). My question is does use of the 0.7 Wrapper cause any conflict with using the 8.5beta version, I mean is there any implementation in your Kernel that is actually conflicting with the 0.7 wrapper..

Thank you very much for all you efforts Hastarin...

17N46732LW5763439- My humble help to your great cause...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kingo08:

I think this is kernel related because I dont remeber it happeneing beofre my update to 8.5. When I finish a call and I hit the end button, it blanks out the screen and ends the call. Is there any way I can have it just end the call and not turn the screen off until I press it again to put it in standby?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alantak:
8.5 beta lasted me all day yesterday. Switched to 8.5 this morning and the data freezes/cpu spikes are back. The "H" icon getting stuck with arrow up consistently.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
I have noticed the same. It gets stuck in the up arrow mode for some reason. Then data shuts itself off and come back on after a while.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Output from dmesg may be handy when this happens our alternatively all the logs LeTama mentions in his pppd wrapper thread.

It's possible he is correct and smd_tty is crashing. Though I would have thought if that was the case we'd get a kernel panic and reboot.

Though as long as you can recover without a reboot I guess we are still better off than the cpu hogging loop.

you should try it with old root folder FIRST and if you have problems use root folder(modules) from new kernal and replace??? works great on my end...but i recently changed to whatever hastarins running, had probs before with other android builds(but figured id have as many issues as he would if i just kept up with his signature...no problems at all...cept for the blurry mms picture, think its a USA thing lol)

click on his signature FAQ should have some info to help you out...most time i try diff modules till i get the right one.

@Hastarin

thank you for your excellent work and dedication.

I am using your kernels for a certain period of time,and thank you for that.

I am running Android build MCCM SE V3.3 Froyostone Sense.

It is an amazing build,stable with almost everything working.

However,I faced a huge battery drain with your kernel 8.4 which is,in fact,included

in this build. Today,I replaced it with your latest 8.5 beta and the battery drain is gone. You are a dedicated professional and congratulations.

Keep doing good job.

Take care friend.

[HD2 Android SD Development] fallenangel408:
i see, i tried that ver as well with no luck(wait for a newer one, something in that build wont let you overwrite files you have to do it via phone its in his thread, i went back to 2.3 from hastarin signature) good luck
[HD2 Android SD Development] mstrk242:
Well, that may be part of your problem. (Assuming that you didn't just leave out the full path in your post to save time, if you did, ignore this.)

The wifi module goes in /system/lib/modules, not /system/lib.

Also, I've had issues using es explorer to copy things to the root of my phone. (I love it otherwise, great file manager). Try using root explorer for that, it seems to get the permissions right when it copies.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mafioso:
lol yes actually there were 2 folders /system/lib/hw and /system/lib/modules

So I did write only /system/lib to save time.....

Ok I will try root explorer, I don't think ES file explorer really copied files as when I have seen them with Astro they look the same...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Svenvdmeer:
I actually seem to have more data drops with your new kernel compared to mdj's kernel. I installed your version of mdj's clean 2.3 with your 8.5 kernel and had a couple of drops this day.

Fixed everything now, through Root Explorer thanks :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] parmar.saab:
I previously had 8.2 on Core Droid 0.7 and upgraded to 8.5 on Core Droid 0.8 today. I get more data drops and freezes on this setup than ANY other setup I've used in the past. It's almost unusable on a daily basis. (I have the 0.7 PPPD wrapper patch also).
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
I must have missed something. Is this 0.7 PPPD wrapper not in 8.5? If not is it worth loading?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
No, I didn't change anything with g-sensor.

I don't get it, because that shows you have my kernel installed and smartass is definitely the default governor. If you're using SetCPU maybe use it's auto detection again and make sure you don't have a profile enabled that's overriding it.

What app/process was taking the CPU? It can't have been smd_tty as you can't close that one. So this is probably another bug, perhaps related, perhaps just a badly behaving app.

If you can get the dmesg log via andlog after a restart that would be VERY handy:

It seems strange to me that 98% of folks seem to be fine but a few thinks it's so much worse. The ONLY change I made to data will only kick in if the kernel is low on memory. With any of my other kernels that would have resulted in a CPU spike and dead data requiring a reboot.

Is there any way possible you find it in your heart to make an 8.5 version without the new camera drivers for us Evo users? Is it possible that I could do it myself? I would certainly like to learn how to do all this.

Im feeling abandoned here. LOL. First Pongster leaves and now We Evo folks cant use your latest and greatest kernels.

[HD2 Android SD Development] puremind:
I had the same issue. This is due to an issue with MDEEJAY's builds. They seem not to copy the modules over properly on first boot.

Solution:

Go to ES Explorer, mount system folder in the options and then copy modules from Hastarin's Kernel to \system\lib\modules on your root.

This easily fixes it.

Hastarin - you may want to drop a note to MDEEJAY. His later builds all have this issue. It is kind of unfair to you, as it does put you at a disadvantage versus stock "MDEEJAY" Kernel, plus you have to deal with the issues in your thread...

Hi all can anyone confirm they have had similar results. I got a Quadrant score of 2366, 2820, 2571. I used TasKiller, FastReboot and set CPU oc'd to 1190 and set to ondemand. Two passes at around 2500 with Smartass enabled.

I have Hastarin 8.4r and Mjeejay's Froyo HD results were after doing what I think was mounting the system file using es file explorer. I can e-mail my drocap screen shots if someone can post. Quadrant is still somewhat jittery in the usual spots. But does seem more lively. Ny windows ROM is OzROM 5.20 24635

Just curious, and will probably clock the cpu back so as to not overheat until others say this is about normal.
