What are you using to monitor cpu frequency? Open setcpu and see if it idles down to 245 like its supposed to. Some monitors report cpu frequency wrong or its taking an average. With smartass the cpu bounces up to higher frequencies once in awhile even at idle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Smartass has a screen off profile built in (which i just recently rewrote). So will the new governor I've been working on.

can some give me the path in kernel settings in MIUI?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Hey, does anyone ever get reboots with the MIUI cam 17? (Even on the new Jesus kernel)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
i had some with the latest MIUI after taking a couple in a row and my auto focus was off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SubMatrix:
I see all these people talking about adjusting voltages, and I have a couple questions. Up until now I've used the stock smartass governor settings and never tweaked voltages because I'm afraid of losing performance. Is this a valid concern? Would I for example get more lag in a game like angry birds? Any noticeable slowdowns doing anything else?

I'm also going to try lowering my min freq to 128 mhz. I assume this freq would only be hit when the screen is off, and I wonder how much more juice it would give me. Guess time will tell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
Lower voltages will not affect performance. It will only affect stability. Go too low, and you will have lockups, reboots, freezes, forcecloses, etc. Now I guess some of those can be considered slowdowns since you could have a certain app freeze then after a while forceclose on you causing some 'waiting'.

To put it more simple, 998 mhz running at 1250 mv and the same phone running 998mv at 1150 mv should have the same performance (i should of said it this way first, but I blame the vodka tonight :) )

And using Smartass, if you set the min freq to 128, it would only be used when your screen is off.

I run 128/652 with smartass. I run games fun and i get really nice battery life. I have the option to turn up the mhz if I have a game that needs it (i dont play alot of games, so havent found one of those yet).

Hope my babbling helps, good luck with the undervolting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sonypete:
Will the Flashable Voltage Tweaks work with other AOSP roms/kernels such as CM7 and the kernel it comes with??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No, they will not work with the stock cm7 kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sonypete:
Thanks for the quick response Chad.

Also when is the fix for the slow USB transfer speeds coming? Sucks having to boot into recovery mode or physically taking the micro sd card out to put a in reader when I need to make large file transfers :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpcallan:
It's an SD buffer issue. Go to the market and download SD Speed. Set the buffer from 128k to 2048k. Problem resolved. Works great for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Right now the fix is to use the app "Multi Mount SD-Card" from the market. Still trying to figure out what the real cause of the issue is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sonypete:
I already have the app and it was cranked to the max(4096) and my transfer speeds are still doubled when not transferring when in recovery mode or using the sd card in an external card reader.

I just tested with a 2048 setting to see if it was issue with being set to high and a 3gig file still takes 45-50 minutes. That's cut in half when in recovery mode, appx 17 minutes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sonypete:
Yea tried the multi mount app and it seemed todo the trick but gave me issues with intermittent connectivty issues also the screeen turning off would kill the transfer.

I was just hoping we had a proper fix :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I personally think its probably a CM issue. Likely something needs to be updated / changed for compatibility with newer kernels, but hasn't. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of kernel wise, and nothing seems to have helped. Best thing I can tell you is to keep adding to the bug reports over at CM. Since there's tons about it and they keep getting ignored...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I got bored of studying so I tinkered around with it for a bit.

I've definitely concluded it has something to do with cm/gingerbread and not the kernel.

If you manually send the sdcard to the lun to mount on your desktop:

open a terminal and type:

echo /dev/block/vold/179:9 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file

Its much much faster.

For emmc do:

echo /dev/block/vold/179:3 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun2/file

This way you don't have to have multi-mount sdcard installed. You could also just put these lines into a little script to run. I'm going to browse through the cm source at some point (not until after my board exam is over, its tomorrow bright and early at 8am :eek:) and try to figure out what its doing different that's making it slow. What I posted above is what it should be doing when you tell it to mount.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Good luck. If you're only half as good at it as with kernels, you'll still ace it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigman420:
You are an android god! Now I don't have to unmount to transfer. Is that risky?

I run miui and my usual speed jumped 4x!

open a terminal and type:

Its much much faster.

For emmc do:

I tried this from windows run cmd, dos prompt, and on the device from terminal emulator.

Errors every time.

Where do I open what type of terminal and on wich device?

Plaese...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SubMatrix:
Thanks for the reply. I guess my followup question then would be is there any ADVANTAGE to running at higher voltage? Clearly lower voltage means running cooler and having longer batt life, but then why isnt the kernel set to a lower voltage by default? Laziness?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Some devices can't handle lower voltages, and it depends on hour hard you're running the cpu. Higher voltages generally mean more stability.

Undervolts

I'm running MIUI 1.6.24 with 06272011 and flashed the april undervolt and had some freezing so I played with and came up with this one. Like in between the two versions chad made. I just used root explorer and put in etc/init.d, and just remove the .txt
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sonypete:
I meant on the phone side. As of right now the lun mount basically stays, im guessing till phone reboot. So anytime I plug in my phone to my computer it gives me instant access without even running the mount command again. I wanted to unmount it on the android side. Unless it safe to leave like this for every day phone/app use, then I'll ignore this side effect. :) I just figured allowing the phone and PC to access the same data simultaneous might be an issue since it not done this way by default *shrugs*
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miatamx:
Terminal emulator should have worked?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigman420:
Terminal emulator from market on ur dInc will work. So will adb shell from your computer.

Once you have an open term, first type su to get root privileges. Then copy and paste chad's echo commands
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cac2us:
terminal emulator

Yes, it looks like! "first type su to get root priviliges" is the key to using the terminal.

Now if I could just find a Bluetooth keyboard.

This "look through my finger" capacititive screen is quite the chore.

But thank you very much for the rest of the story.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bbernardini:
Am I the only one that has a problem with Terminal Emulator insisting that all my lower case "i"s be upper case?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigman420:
That sounds a keyboard issue. Simplest work around until you master your keyboard might be to type a letter in front of it like oi, hit space and then use your optical joystick to move the cursor back to delete the first letter. I should just be able to hit i, look right above the keyboard when you hit i and see if you see it in lower case, if so, then hit it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
It is a potential issue (if you try to write to it at the same time etc). If you're worried about it you can unmount whatever device on the phone first before using it on the computer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
I have that problem with swype, I just switch to swiftkey and no problem.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tincbtrar:
Im pretty impressed with Display usage on your phone.

Is MIUI really that good with Display settings? Or did you customize it.

I tried Automatic Backlighting CM7 Tweaks and i still use about 40 percent of Display.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doddzilla:
Yeah when I use MIUI my display usage is way lower than CM. But other things like phone calls seem to use more juice than CM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
No customize on display just the normal auto brightness with the undervolt mod I made. Chad did release a beta today debating on trying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
You don't have to. The fix is for the x0080_0026 controller. If you have 16 it won't make any difference.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sjpritch25:
Chad,

I would like to say your 2.6.38.8 kernal is great. I'm the brother n law that installed your kernal on his incredible and its running great. He is running Evervolv 1.0.1b1 and updating the kernal fixed all his issues. I tried your kernal because i didn't want to do a wipe. Thanks again for your hard work. What other phones are you planning to work on? My VZ contract doesn't expire till sept, but I'm browsing for new phones for kicks. Are you planning on doing any development for any other phones? Thanks again. My Brother n law is very happy.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
So. What would be a suggested voltage tweak and what is the easiest way for an idiot to tweak.

I am aware to nandroid and expect instability is possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Search the forum for vipermod, its a terminal based program that's easy to use to change voltages on the fly. Or you can try Chad's .zips as well. Fine tuning the voltages is just a bit easier on vipermod. I'd recommend flashing -100 and if that isn't stable then bump the voltages +25 until it is. No need to nandroid, vipermod also has a reset zip you can flash in recovery if its bootlooping.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
Thank you. This kernel with cm7 or miui is awesome but I so heavily use my phone I could use even slight improvements.

Again thanks. I am at -75. Seems OK. -100 was an epic fail. Having the reset was excellent.

What if we create the file then use root explorer to set read only permission? Would that work?

Edit: Answered my own question. It doesn't work. :-( Oh well...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EnixLHQ:
I imagine the reason Chad hasn't released a kernel with it on already is that he either needs to build an intelligent script that can detect the kind of power connection that is made and activate the fast charge when applicable, or that it may be dangerous to use fast charging while connected to non-optimal sources.

For me, I still charge when navigating and even though it isn't fast I still get a few points up to a full charge by the end of the trip. So fast charging is a thing I didn't know I didn't have or had a problem with.

I bet fast charging warms the battery, too.

Dunno, I'm just being cautious on this one, I think.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmbtimmyb21:
And the kernel beast continues!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
That's because it's not a real file. It's a pseudo file that essentially accepts a command from the user and passes it to the kernel. It's created on boot with the default value that I set it to. So if you want it to stay as something different you have to create a script in /etc/init.d that sets the value on boot.

It's not going to be on by default because there's always the possibility of unforeseen issues that it damages batteries or something. It's unlikely that it does, but you never know. I'd much prefer to not be responsible for that. If someone turns it on they're taking the risk/resonsibility.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildland:
I'm a bit unclear on this... is this fast charge option even faster than your kernel was charging (say the 4/19), or is this just a new interface to enable/disable that previous charge rate?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Neither. It optionally enables fast charging when It's detected as usb and not ac.

Because all devices are different and used differently id suggest vipermods app. You can try and change voltage on the fly. If something freaks out just reboot and your back factory.

Thought maybe it was a CM issue initially, but then I flashed the 7-2 nightly of OMFGB and still had this quirk: Overheating issues, seems like the phone is getting hot without extensive usage? I had better luck with some of the betas. Not sure if that's counterintuitive or even possible based on the specs, just food for thought.

Anyone else with an overheating issue?

Gonna stick with 4-19 for now ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
What are you considering overheating? The phone has a hardware fail safe that if it gets to hot the led will blink and it'll turn off. If that's not happening you likely have nothing to worry about.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
Check the threads for the rom you're downloading...CM7, Evervolv and MIUI are AOSP roms. Sense roms are not.
