I'm also using MIUI 1.4.8 with preview 3 and was thinking the same thing with the charge as I had also been using it with cm7 and thought it charged quicker. Not a big deal but would certainly like if it charged quicker.

Anyway the kernel is great with MIUI, which has become my daily driver, and I look forward to any updates although I'm not sure what could be improved upon from a kernel standpoint.

thanks for the great work chad!!

Ok, thanks... Maybe something in that nightly since usually gps works perfectly for me but this weekend I've been getting only intermittent gps fixes.

I thought that .37 kernels were for Gingerbread only, but does the Froyo one work well?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Froyo version is fine for non-sense roms. Still can't figure out the artifact issue with sense :mad: :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blastthenoise:
I asked before but it wasn't clearly answered. These preview kernels are GB only correct? aka no go for froyo MUIU?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Yes. GB only. Final will have a froyo version.

It seems like auto-rotate functionality is slower / less responsive in preview3 than it was in preview2. Not sure how much this is affected by kernel though, so it may just be an illusory correlation.

Effects of CPU Frequency and Screen Brightness on Power Consumption

Whether or not the difference is considered large depends entirely on the individual, how he uses the phone, and what he considers "normal."

Preview 3 works great on cm7 stable release. Tried all the governors and had no problems. Preview 3 also works great on MIUI 1.4.8 (Beta 6), no problems on it either. Droid Incredible AMOLED. Keep up the good work, only using ur kernel from now on.

rfarrah,

I remember it was just me and you waiting on a Sense GB kernel from Chad. Then I flashed CM7 and am just waiting for the Incredible to get it's GB OTA. Surprised you haven't took the jump and tried an AOSP ROM like MiUi or CM7. Any particular reason why?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] win7x64:
I've tried out all of the voltage levels posted in this thread and found the following to be the most stable for me:

http://personal.utulsa.edu/~james-williams/setvdd.txt

For those that want this voltage to be set at boot, apply it just like the one in the OP--and you can remove it the same way, by deleting the vdd file in the /etc/init.d folder:

http://personal.utulsa.edu/~james-williams/setvdd_levels_signed.zip

I'll come back sometime later and compile all of the maximum voltages that were posted for each frequency in this thread, for maximum stability.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
I briefly tried an AOSP ROM and was underwhelmed. Seems like there is something that isn't functioning perfectly in whatever version I've looked at, although I'm sure there are fully functional AOSP ROMs out there. My criteria is simply that EVERYTHING works like it should, that the ROM is fast and rock-stable. I also like and prefer several aspects of Sense ROMS.

I DO occasionally read the AOSP ROM threads to see what's going on there, but I guess I'm just a sense kind of guy..... for now! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuban11182:
Chad,

Don't know if this had been adressed, but I thought it might help you find the problem, or help others who may be having the same issue. I believe the the Preview 3 Kernel was causing issues with the Torck app in CM7. There was a delay when turning it off, and it would not function on high in the strobe function.

I checked it this way:

This is how I tested. I removed all apps on my current ROM (CM7 7.0) and tested the Torch app. There was still a noticible delay in it turning off (I had preview 3 installed). I flashed CM7 stable over my current ROM (after I restored all apps & data from Titanium). With the stock Kernel it worked like it should. I then went to uninstalling the stock apps that I dont use (DSP Manager, ADW, File Manager, Dev tools, Email, and FM) one at a time and testing Torch. It worked every after each uninstall. I then went into recovery and flashed the MIUI Camera and the Ubuntu Font and rebooted. Still worked. I then Flashed Preview 3 and that is what bonked it. I once more went into recover and flashed Chad's stable and torch worked as it is supposed to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Its okay, it was already fixed a long time ago in the newly released (as of 5 seconds ago RC1).

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/incredikernel-new-rc1.zip

EDIT: If you have a sporadic wake issue (really random once in awhile you have to hit the power button twice) change your gov to interactive and/or your minimum speed to 245. It really doesn't occur all that often though. It seems to be related in particular to smartass. I think I might make a modified interactive with a built in screen off profile when I get a chance since interactive is more responsive anyway.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
With preview 3 the torch app would not strobe on the brightest level. Changed kernals and now torch is working fine strobing on the highest level.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrToilet:
Is that incredikernel-new-rc1 kernel a newer release than preview 3? Is it worth flashing the RC1? I just flashed the preview 3 yesterday. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
What is a healthy temperature for the phone to get. When I'm downloading podcasts in "listen" and reading Google reader my phone gets very warm. Spare parts will give me a reading of around 40 degrees Celsius. Is that ok and what is the MAXIMUM temperature for a phone to get.

Running preview 3 if that matters
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
I love smartass it gives alot better battery life than interactive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Just flashed rc1. So far it seems to be faster/snappier than preview 3. I am getting some haptic feedback issues when typing. It'll randomly skip letters. Will report back later today. SLCD. CM7 stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
I'm not sure about a healthy temperature, but mine will go to about 40 degrees Celsius when downloading as well. The other day it was up to 45 degrees when I was running GPS (Navigation) and Bluetooth and the phone started to discharge itself (even though it was plugged into a charger) as the battery was too hot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
It might seem like I'm splitting hairs, but I doubt your phone was 'discharging itself'

Heat is not the issue here. Most car chargers do not put out as much current as a wall charger. Using the phone for navigation requires a lot of power, and it's very easy to be drawing more current from the battery than the charger can give back to the battery. For example, you may be drawing >900 mA while the car charger is providing ~500 mA. In such a case, your battery will deplete, despite being plugged in, as the net result is a 400 mA draw.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I actually just noticed some odd haptic also. I'll look into it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dunndada:
The haptic is going nuts.... i'm on the phone and its vibrating like crazy... apparently it sounds like a goose on the other end.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hexon:
In the case of my D1, if the phone got too hot it would shut off its charging. The battery icon would stop the charging animation and everything. This happened a lot during navigation in my car, partly because the window is a hot place. This was some kind of failsafe mechanism. I can't say for sure that the same thing happens for the incredible though. However I've had the incredible loose charge during navigation as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
my phone is hating the new kernel. when i switch screens it use to be fast and snappy. now its slow. i dont know whats going on. im going to re-download the kernel once i get home and try again. do you have an m5d for it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
Same here! Preview 3 seems way faster and smoother on my phone? Weird. Back to preview 3 for now. I even tried to go back and forth on both kernels give or take 3+ hrs of using nd still feel slow :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimpTheChimp:
Chad,

What's the version number for the RC1 kernel? I installed it but I want to check on About to make sure it really did install.

P.S. Is is 2.6.37.6 #42?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
That's what I got.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
+1. Another minor relatively unimportant but felt like I should mention it anyway bug is when watching video it has this wierd glitch effect when touching the screen to open/close ff,pause,rewind menu. Its random. SLCD, CM7stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildland:
I have no hard evidence, but I feel like I'm getting worse battery life on the RC than Preview 3 - rolling back for now...

Works fine with rls4. I prefer this over ziggys since bfs was removed. BFS is what caused lag for my phone with ziggys kernel, I believe
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Does the new kernel have the fast charge? I assume its basically just a better version of .17??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chingy51o:
Yeah I feel ziggys kernel takes forever to charge and the battery life isn't impressive at all, even while underclocking. Let me how the battery life is. Really considering trying this out. Read through all the pages on this thread and this kernel really sound promising.

i want to attempt to build an aosp kernel based of the newer one
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kev13Dd:
If he can get HAVS working and stable to get even more life out of the battery, this is my kernel of choice for sure

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I know I asked this question earlier in the thread, but now that a newer and apparently better version of the Kernel is out, I figured I'd ask in case anything had changed :P From what I've read, performance is apparently quite good - as far as battery goes though, has anyone noticed improvement? (especially for those of you who have been using the Stock 2.6.32.17, since this is what I'm using). I just tried out a 1500 mAh battery from bidallies, but it causes the back cover to not close completely and have a gap down the right side, so I guess changing ROMs/Kernels is really my only option. As such, I'm looking for the best battery life possible out of a Kernel without sacrificing performance. All I need to hear now is that this is stable, provides battery life equivalent to or superior to that of the Stock Kernel, and I'm good to go :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I'll post the latest when I get home. I need to figure out this github thing. Would probably make it easier. Haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
Just want to say that I was running the .17 kernal, and when I initially intially had some FC on a few apps (uninstall and then reinstalled), it's been working nice. Only been running the .26 kernal for like 12 hours or so, but this is the first kernal besides the custom Virtuous kernal that hasn't given me major lag issues. Have to say I'm quite impressed! Thanks to Chad for a great kernal, that actually charges fast!

I'm in the process of attempting a Ubuntu install (just for the hell of it) on my phone, and I was just wondering if this kernel supported loopback devices, as that is a necessary component for Ubuntu to boot. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
I very well may be wrong here, but I don't believe so.

If not, his source is available at github-link is in the OP.

you can add loop capability by adding

CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y

in the .config file during compiling of the kernel

If it already is, just disregard. =)

Edit: see what I get for not searching? Check the two posts below and ignore me in the future. =P

Posted Jan 22 in this thread, here's the quote from the man himself:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
So the answer for the temperature question is anything at 40 Celsius or under is fine for the phone? Is this correct?

Correct.

I try to shut down whatever im using and turn screen off if it gets above 43°C, which I use as my safe point.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] RobertMaurizio:
Not sure exactly what is going on, but vibration notification may be broken on CM7 Stable. I have not tried the stock kernel, but have found through experimentation that both Preview 3 and the 3/18 release do not vibrate for notifications.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Rc works great on UD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I'm going to have to wait awhile before I roll anything else out because it seems that the majority of issues posted here also seem to be posted in the cm thread as cm issues. Namely the vibrate and video tearing. So these issues need to be sorted out in cm before I can determine if there is any kernel component to them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
If it's any consolation, or helps diagnostically, your kernel presents no such issues on Evervolv 1.0.2b5. I'm nearly positive that these are CM specific issues, as they occur with tiamat and slayher's homebrewed kernels as well..

Though holding off a bit is probably a good idea considering... There's really no point in trying to address issues that your kernel likely isn't causing.

Edit: I don't think I've said this yet, but you do some pretty amazing work, sir. Greatly appreciated!

How come the preview kernels are not updated on the OP?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I don't want to speak on Chad's behalf, but my guess is that he wants the preview kernels to be available to those who regularly follow this thread, but he doesn't want to publish them to the OP as they are not finished products.

Additionally, the preview kernels don't have a published changelog. As such, it's really not best practice to post them up to the OP.

Those of us who are keeping up will understand that the preview kernels potentially contain issues, and that the changes done to them are still somewhat a mystery. A person who just wanders into the OP without reading the thread would be less understanding of this. They'd want to know what these mystery preview kernels are, what's in them, why they aren't 100% stable for everyone, etc etc.
