Ever since I flashed preview 3 my 3G has been acting weird. Harrs anybody noticed this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Kernel doesn't affect 3g. That's all radio and software. Same with gps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] notwen:
Any updates on your sense-based kernel? =] With ziggy pulling his kernels I'm kinda at a loss for a steady release of kernels I can tinker with.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Not until I can figure out the odd artifacting thing with newer kernels and sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
Chad... What are the MAJOR changes in this new kernel.. Im running your last 3-18 kernel, and its very VERY good.. how could u improve it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Testman08:
Which kernal would you recommend for cyanogen incredible htc 7 final?

Thanks...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
His latest 3-18 kernel. Really great battery life, and even better when you slightly underclock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jacksonroh:
I was using 3-18 until recently I started using preview 3, it seems snappier and battery life also seems to be a little better
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RobertMaurizio:
37.6 RC kernel is also excellent. No problems whatsoever.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I need some user feedback from these. Testing something sort of radical out.

PLEASE PM ME with your thoughts on which one is better and why. DO NOT post it in the thread for various reasons (mostly so there is no placebo effect in regards to something you read).

Please include what ROM / display you have also.

Oh, and don't ask what the changes are either. You'll find out eventually, I promise. For science you need blind studies (single blind is best I can do since I know the changes)

Thanks :-)

Please run each for MORE than just a few minutes before sending me your feedback.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Are these test kernels still AOSP only?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Yes. Sorry. Believe me you'll know if I ever get the sense thing straightened out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
I believe so. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Thanks for the updates, gonna run A now.

Chad has said over and over Sense kernels have issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Testing now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bghouse10:
Chad, just want to say thanks for some great work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Hey Chad, the test B kernel is great, I didn't try A, tho. Works fine with the new Evo radio. So what's up with the rrecovery.zip and rboot.zip on your site?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
He asked for people to pm =)

Sent from my AMOLED Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Okay no more need for testing. I got all the feedback I needed.

A was CFS with autogrouping.

B was BFS400.

My thinking was that BFS might have gotten better since its been updated a bunch of times since I last tried it. But clearly not since every person who messaged me said A was good and B was laggy. So that makes the decision easy. If you guys want to keep running A you can.

Thanks everyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
If you downloaded those I highly suggest you DON'T flash them unless you want to corrupt your partitions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoops5:
Heh...I was gonna give it a little longer then switch to B but I was enjoying A so much I just kind of forgot. Really liking the kernel and the battery has been great. Thanks for the work!

sent from my DInc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpa77:
Figures I'd Pick B first. If there were only 10 tickets sold in a Billion dollar lottery and I bought 9 I'd still lose.

Is A any better than the rc's or 3/18?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
Chad doesn't want this to be discussed here. Try both out not so hard lol nd PM h

im your finds

Edit:nvm didn't read other post
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
I must not be using my phone intensely enough... A didn't seen that different from B for me. I'm go back to A again though
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
Ive been using one of the preview kernels for awhile now.

It was a cfs kernel already correct? I'm assuming the difference between the preview kernels and kernel A is the autogrouping?

Thanks Chad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] atsoca:
what does auto grouping do for us?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Possibly something. Possibly nothing. But I have to look into something before I confirm. The previous per tty task group patch did nothing unless you had something running on separate ttys. But this is per session so in theory it would group by user and system tasks should then be separate from user tasks, but I have to see how android groups things first.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
As I'm not sure of the changelog, I'm going to post my thoughts of A (only one I tried).

Smooth. Very smooth.

With Preview 3 I was having proximity issues when in calls, from what I can tell I have no issues anymore. (I hope this is kernel related)

Charging lag seems to be fixed, but I'll have to verify with my charger at work, since that's the charger that I use the most with my phone on. So far so good at home and using it though. (Lag was apparent > 90%)

128MHz screen off works fine for me, others may have issues (due to CPU batch)

If this is a reflection of final work, I'm very impressed. Updated my GF's phone with A too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JetBomber117:
Do kernel's affect USB file transfer speed? I'm getting awful speeds and trying to narrow it down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Yes, all .37 kernels have low usb transfer rates and we haven't narrowed it down completely yet.

There is an app in the market that helps though. I can't remember the name at the moment though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
The app is called SD Booster. I don't run it myself because I have an init.d script that does the same thing.

Incidentally, one reason I prefer the last Sense Incredikernel is because SD access is so much better than other Sense kernels.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
That's not it, that one just adjusts the cache. Adjusting the cache doesn't help much on .37 like it did on previous kernels.

The app I was referring to does parallel transfers to increase the speed and works much better.

Edit: Found it, its called multi-mount sd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
This kerne has been working beautiful for me with the cm7 nightlys and I love it. I used the A and B and like noted A was much better. I'm using rc1 now and it's great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gohamstergo:
not supposed to post your opinion (PM it to op) so as not to have the placebo effect on others :P should edit your post even tho im not sure if it still matters or not......
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Haha, doesn't matter anymore. I got the info I needed already.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JetBomber117:
That's already over now.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I was on my site and came across this, weird:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/incredikernel-new-rc2.zip

:D

This should be pretty close to final, so if there's no issues it should be almost identical to release (and then you patient froyo (aosp) guys will finally get something too)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] psitech:
I just wanted to jump in and say that I'm getting wonderful results and unbelievable battery life with Preview3. It's smooth and fast and the battery life is incredible (pun intended). I tried the latest tiamat just to see how it would work, and the battery life was atrocious.

Keep up the great work Chad!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Awesome, flashing now. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
So chad i just flashed this... working on my incredible... are you gonna tell us now what you have improved since ur last kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph3k:
I'm sorry to sound naive and perhaps this question has already been answered but what exactly is audio boost (on the 3/13 gb kernel)

obviously it boosts audio, but I really can't tell a different in the sound volume between that and tiamat 3.3.5.

is there something I need to do or what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
As soon as I release a final (which is soon). I'll push all the changes to the github and you can read them all there as well as list the major one here. So many changes have been made and reverted and then made again and changed etc in each of these releases I don't want to bother with trying to explain what is in each one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
What are the major improvements
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
He just answered you. Why are you asking the exact same question again?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wakeboard143:
Earpiece volume while in a call. Not speaker. Earpiece at full volume is basically a speakerphone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Tiamat has audio boost also I believe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
What the difference between this rom and tiamat? seem the same,
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wakeboard143:
Third times a charm, eh?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crondable:
First off they are both kernels, not ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
<facepalm>

EDIT: btw, Chad, rc2 is rainbows and sunshine thus far. Thanks again for the excellent work.

[I for one welcome our new Android overlords ::: DInc::SLDC::x.7.28::CWM3.0.0.8::CM7::chad's]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Tiamat is based on the slayher port mine is based on my own port. Also we have different default values for governors, voltages etc.

Cayniarb likes to tinker with SBC. I do not.

We have various patches / performance changes that differ, some of them major.

Plus i'm sure quite a few other things. Skim through changelogs and feature lists and github if you want to find all the differences.

Go sabres!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
RC2 is so fly lol! I love my Incredible!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Forgot to carry over one change to the release tree that I had made in my working tree that helps to prevent some wake issues (it should be just about sorted out now). So I guess here goes rc3:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/incredikernel-new-rc3.zip

Also what I believe was causing a lot of issues in CM7 final was fixed in nightly 41. So I'd recommend you grab the latest nightly if you run CM7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ianworld:
Must be addicted installed both releases today. Both seem great, I suppose the second one is a bit snappier on the lockscreen, but they all run so well its hard to say.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Anyone else notice slow charging with RC3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
Seems to fast charge until 90%, same as previous versions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Hm, seems like it took about 4 hours to get from 28-100. Might be an isolated thing, I just remembered the charger was plugged into an extension cord as opposed to directly in the wall, might have made a difference?

Chad's kernels freaking rock btw :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
an a/c extension cord won't throttle your charge unless something is dangerously wrong with it. using a usb extension cable will limit you to a slow charge. Did you use the oem charger/cable combo? If you plug the same setup into a wall and find you are getting a fast charge, please inspect the extension cord and the outlet (unplug and look at the plug and the outlet for black/brown residue or other evidence of excessive heat). check the length of the cord, not just for exposed wires and melted insulation, but also for deformities or anything to suggest that it should be removed from service. If all is well, then it was probably a fluke.

sorry about the fire marshal safety sermon, but there is a reason that fire codes keep e-cords out of "permanent" commercial applications.

Back to on-topic: If you can't get fastcharge using oem charger anywhere, you should redownload the kernel and reflash.

EDIT: Quantify using CurrentWidget or Battery Monitor Widget (awesome). If your current-in during charging is >500mA you are fast-charging.

[I for one welcome our new Android overlords ::: DInc::SLDC::x.7.28::CWM3.0.0.8::CM7::chad'sRC3]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
No, still fast for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
Rc3 and omgb working insane together! Battery, speed, and zero heat.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
I'm running Ultimate Droid 3.3.0 and incredikernel rc 3. So far doing well no FCs or problems. Running aswell as the others. Only thing is benchmarks went down. Im getting 1170 on quadrant.

Im a huge fan of incredikernels, thanks alot for coding and sharing!! Can't wait to use the final release ! :D

*Edit

Went from 2058 to 1777 using Antutu System Benchmark skipping the SD card write/read tests.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Burnmatoka, thanks for your reply that was definitely helpful. I didn't think the extension would make a difference and it is in good condition btw. It seemed like it was taking longer to charge but I checked my mA during charging and I'm at 800 so I must have just been trippin!

Edit: Now it's down to 88mA while charging...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
No problem, glad to help. fyi, when your battery is above 90% and/or above 4.05 volts (I think), the charging current tapers off so as not to overload the battery. This is when your LED turns green.

If your batt isn't close to full and you're pulling 88mA, your battery might be crapping out. Check SpareParts>Battery Information and see what the condition of the batt is. It should say good. Try a different battery too, if you have one. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.

Good luck. :)

[I for one welcome our new Android overlords ::: DInc::SLDC::x.7.28::CWM3.0.0.8::CM7::chad's]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Ah, I think it had just gotten above 90 so that makes sense. Didn't know that, thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SethAC:
I'm curious about this... Can someone explain to me how it works? And also, is there anything it ISN'T compatible with (for sure)?

Any information/help would be awesome :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gonzlobo:
Physics be damned!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thisguy23:
Yes sir this is one of the best parts of this kernel... well extension. It is a flashable (through cwm) that has more strict voltage values. Example: Chad default havs @ 128MHz is 900. This table changes it to 800mV. It is awesome if your CPU can handle it. Some have to edit the file in root explorer and bump up the values. I've been running it for a while with even lower values on some speeds. As far as I know its a script that runs on boot to change the kernel's havs values. As far as I know (again) it works with most kernels. I've tried it with tiamat and it works great too. Its definitely worth trying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SethAC:
You said you flash it through CWM... Do you boot into recovery, then find the file and install it that way? And also, it doesn't in any way depend on the ROM you're running, does it? I'm running MIUI, with Chad's latest kernel and the Evo 4.08 radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] win7x64:
Is it okay that both the min and the max at 128Mhz is 800mV?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] atpa8a:
Any plans to make these kernels into the Kernel Manager?

--

AT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SethAC:
That would be amazing. I kinda wish that all these manager could conjoin into one app, and just be on different tabs, not completely different apps.

Then again, where's the fun in that?!? :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
Lmao.

Chads kernel makes my phone stay at absolute zero (for those unaware, this is -273 degrees celsius or 0 degrees kelvin). Not just that, but the latest RC has made it defy gravity.

:-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neur0tk:
No no go Pens!!!!

sent from my cm7tized Inc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Yes. But if you have something like Root Explorer you can just copy the file 95havsvdd to your /system/etc/init.d directory and reboot. You can also just edit that file to make changes.

Word of warning: not all devices can run with the values in that file. If you start rebooting randomly, you have one of those phones. Like me. I had to increase the voltages by 25.

04/19/11

Patched up to 2.6.37.6

BFQ-v2-r1

Numerous driver updates (BMA150, OV8810, Atmel touch, gadget updates)

Rewritten panel driver

Many changes to improve waking when using low frequencies and smartass

Slightly more aggressive smartass scaling

Reduced OJ sensitivity slightly (in comparison to 3/18) to help minimize ghosting - GB only

Only the major changes are listed here, look at my github for all the changes (32 commits in total).

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.37.6-incredikernel-gb-4192011.zip - Gingerbread

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.37.6-incredikernel-froyo-4192011.zip - Froyo

Since I know this is going to get asked: Yes there are some differences between this and RC3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
Sounds like some great changes. Slight more aggressive smartass scaling? I'm assuming that means it will go into the higher freq's longer or quicker, for that snappiness feel?

Thanks again for the kernels. I check this thread way more often than i should :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thisguy23:
Correct and correct. I'm on latest Miui and latest radio and kernel from chad. flash and good to go baby!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thisguy23:
yes sir that'll work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
Thanks for the new kernel!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Bahaha!

Question is, does yours open wormholes? ;) Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
Sadly, no.

In due time, I'm sure. I haven't flashed latest yet, but I didn't see anything about opening wormholes when looking at the commits he's made since RC3. Maybe in the next update. :-P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
I second this request (as long as it is not difficult to implement). Or maybe I'm getting too lazy.

And just what are these differences? J/k. Excellent work on the kernel. I'll have to give it a thorough run and do some voltage tweaking when I get a chance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Before this is read, please understand that I am in no way trying to rush Chad's development or squeeze out an ETA with this post.

That being said...

Chad,

Since the "Final" release for the 2.6.37.XX kernels has been pushed, do you find yourself looking further into the Sense versions of these kernels? I'm using the Dec. 2.6.32.XX kernel, and it's beautiful. I'm not usually much a fan of Sense roms, but recently I've taken a liking to a rotating Rosie. I like it when she spins. :) Lol

Just wondering if you were still interested in looking for a solution there, or if that's a project you plan on leaving behind you.

Thank you for all your great work with the Gingy kernels as well. They're fantastic. Just sayin'.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No, I'm still working on it, I just haven't found a solution to the artifacting issue yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Kernel is perfect. Thank you for your hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BurningHell:
Anyone else have USB debugging issues after the latest, its showing up in eclipse when I go to run an app but all the info is "?????"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
Love theses kernels, best ones IMO

CM7 nightly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
I've pretty much been using these kernels exclusively since cm7 nightlies and love them. Great performance now on 4-19 kernel and super snappy. My question is will I generally get better battery life on this or the stock cm7 kernel (don't give me the long lecture about too many variables and no general way to say what is gonna be better for battery).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Kinda sounds like you just answered your own question.

*insert long lecture about too many variables and no general way to say what is gonna be better for battery here*
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JetBomber117:
Good to have you back pons haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
With the flashable voltage tweaks I'm guessing that setcpu isnt needed. Is that correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
setcpu and the voltage tweaks have entirely different purposes. Setcpu is for changing frequency (which can be done other ways also, cm7 has settings for frequency now) and the flashable voltage tweak adjusts voltages.

Care to elaborate some more?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Not necessarily. The voltage tweaks mess with the voltage, and SetCPU deals with the clock speed. Two different things. Most people only use SetCPU to set a sleep profile, which is unneeded with the smartass governor.

Edit: chad, you cheated. You were typing on a computer while I'm on my phone. :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Heathsrow:
Min Frequency

I am currently running the Kernal from 4/19/11 on CM7 Nightly 41. Do we still need to set our min frequency to 128 so the screen off scaling works properly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BurningHell:
Well usually in eclipse when I was using the 3/18 kernel with USB debugging enabled when I plugged in my device and attempted to run my application it showed up in an available devices list and I could select it and install and run my app on my phone now with the 4/19 it shows up but all the info is question marks and I can't select it, I'll try to post a logcat when I'm at my computer next

CyanogenMod 7 Nightly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
I have a question about vTweaks. Do they come already in this kernel and there is just an option to further tweak them?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
What rom are you running? Can you adb into your phone fine?

Try updating the sdk/platform tools to the latest.

The voltages are already reduced some in the kernel. The voltage tweaks reduce them more, but some phones might not be stable at the voltages provided by the tweak. If you find thats the case, you'll have to adjust the voltages some until you're stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BurningHell:
I'm running CM7 final, thought my tools were updated running an update now that's probably the problem thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilhe1s:
