[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I finally got around to updating my fork of Chad's incredikernel. You guys know where to get it. Some fixes to issues created with the fork (BFQ was missing for instance).

Full changes:

11/14/2011:

Update OJ driver

BT fix for newer CM nightlies

WIFI module updates

Update and re-add BFQ scheduler as well as disable deadline

Ondemand is back

Fixes/Tweaks to ondemand and interactive
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Awesome, just downloaded it. What is your favorite governor?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Personally smartassv2 but that is also because I listen to music and having the CPU scaling I think helps with battery a bit but I might try ondemand especially with the change to it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
WiFi seems to be broken for me. Keeps trying to connect, but doesn't. Wife's Fascinate is connected to WiFi just fine.

Anyone else?

Flashing back to 11/04 for the night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
New kernel is working good for me with nightly 256, seems snappierrrrr

CM7 nightly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
No errors starting or stopping wifi correct? I don't have any wifi issues. Do you use any routers currently configured to use wifi-n at all? Just curious if it's related.

EDIT: How do I always end up building kernels where wifi breaks for a small percentage?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] suprafreak1000:
Workin fine on the newest miui build here, thanks tiny!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Right after flashing 3G and WiFi weren't turning on, but after about a minute or so, they came to life. All is well here. I have a dual band Apple AirPort Extreme. 5GHz N on one and G on the other. All the Mac's use the 5GHz N band, while the PS3, phones, and iPod use G. Never have any problems with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
The reason I was asking about N is that some routers are set to wifi n 2.4 Ghz only so I was wondering if that was the issue. Good to hear you're working great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Yeah, I just have ours set to 5GHz. It can do 2.4GHz N too, but I'd rather have 5GHz for the computers and just keep mobile's on G, doesn't really benefit them anyway. My iPod touch does 2.4GHz N, but it isn't all that much different. I get what you were saying. Luckily my OG iPad does 5GHz, because I can stream it, it helps. I've never tried my Inc on 2.4 N though. Someday I'll get an Android tablet. But I dropped $700 on the iPad last November, so it's going to be a while. Probably not until I start collage at least. And I still have quite a while on my contract, brother used my upgrade because I used his in April when the Inc. came out. /OT rambling.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
As usual, it was something else... font flashing app appears to break wifi. Reflashed and didn't change the font and all is well. Guess I'll live with system font till I can get to a computer to find another font solution.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Rom toolbox has a bunch of fonts

-Dual core? I don't need no stinking dual core!-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Sorry Tiny, had to flash back to previous incredikernel. Wifi was recognized, but "out of range". Flashed back and same crappy Time Warner wifi connection I know and hate!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
That's what I was using...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khw1959:
Hmmm....

I'll retest again later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Can you still use voltage tweak init.d scripts? Or is incredicontrol a necessity?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Yrs. No change. It has never been a necessity. What gave you that impression or is it just a question?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
2 different times. one was at 11pm and one was at 10am maybe more people are on your network at 10am then 11pm??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] badogg:
Flashing now!

man, I wish there was an Incredikernel for my wifes Samsung Fascinate. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Thanks for the update, Tiny. Flashed it an hour ago, seems stable, fast, and smooth as always!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I flashed it last night. No problems at all. Both wifi and 3g are good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
I flashed this new kernel on my Inc (running CM 7.1.0 release), and got stuck at the white HTC screen. I had to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and reinstall the 10/08/2011 Incredikernel. Anyone else have this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jonno95:
I got the same thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] badogg:
It flashed just fine for me. I wiped dalvik, then flashed. It came right up and has been working great for me on one of the CM 7.1 nightlies.

Looks like it had the governor set to on-demand by default. I could swear it defaulted to Smartass previously. I was getting kind of poor battery life before, now it seems much better with Smartass V2. Is that typical for On-demand?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
probably a bad download or flash. See if a new download helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
I actually did have this, but I went back into recovery, reflashed the kernel, and then reflashed the ext4 mod that I had. Rebooted perfectly that time. Try that if you have the ext4 mod at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
It's been smartassv2 as default since 10/01 or 10/8 - I don't know which. I pulled the config of my booted kernel and it is defaulting to smartassv2.

Ondemand may be better with battery life due to the tweaks I merged. Try it out and then use what works best for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
No ext4 mod here. I'll try downloading again and report back what happens. Is there an MD5 checksum for it that I can check my download against?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Here you go:

91886baaa1a537f39b529279c320941d

I don't usually post them for kernels due to the small file size and very low chance of corruption.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
md5 matches, but I still had the same result. I wiped Dalvik cache before and after flashing it. I guess I just have to stay with the 10/8/2011 kernel for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
When you say stuck at HBOOT? How long? It may freeze there for a few minutes due to cache and dalvik being rebuilt. Wait 5 to be safe. Also, reverting back to a previous kernel and not logging helps me not one bit. Also after flashing, can you access the phone via adb shell at any point. If you can, it does boot /system and should boot up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
Sorry, I didn't realize you expected so much information. When I tried it earlier today, I waited about 20 minutes before I gave up. I will flash the 11/14 kernel again and try to get to the phone with adb shell. What do I need to do to send you logging info?

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

OK, I'm at a # prompt via adb shell, but it's still at the white screen. Also, to clarify, it's not the HBOOT screen, it's the "HTC Incredible" logo screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
need a logcat. and the output of mount would help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
do mount /cache and tell me what it says. Also will it boot if you format cache from recovery. I think it doesn't want to mount cache. how are you fixing it? Kernel re-flash? You can go back to 10/8 after you get the info. I got to sleep.

Also any mods?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
I'll do this in the morning and post the results. The only mod I have installed (besides CM 7.1.0) is an alternate boot animation.

When I do "mount /cache" I get:

mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory

However, when I flash back to 10/8 and look, there's also no /etc/fstab, but /cache is mounted:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /cache type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=writeback)

Weird.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Are you going to add the ondemand changes to the sense kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Let me rephrase.

Would you please add it? :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
What ext4 mod are you talking about? Is this something to allow mounting the sdcard as ext4?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] infectedorganism:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315372
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Oh, I had already reformatted my /data and /cache partitions to ext4 manually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
got a thread to this? I'd like everything ext4 except emmc and SD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
You can't/shouldn't format the /system or /data/data partitions with ext4. These are raw flash devices that require a wear-leveling filesystem. Attempting to flash these with ext4 will brick your phone in short order.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
OK, I experimented a little more. I went back to the 10/8 kernel and installed the ext4 mod I've been hearing about. Then I flashed the 11/14 kernel, wiped Dalvik cache and wiped /cache. It booted up just fine. Before, it couldn't mount /cache. So I don't know whether it was formatting /cache or installing ext4 that fixed it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Agreed. From my knowledge and the fact that they're not block level devices, ext4 simply will not work on those. FYI, I tried and the format to ext4 just fails. Don't try it though.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

What ROM are you on? I can't seem to break my system to re-create that issue. I didn't get the /cache/dalvik-cache errors.

Did you ever wipe cache beforehand when you got the issue prior to using the mod? Also, did you have an issue mounting /data too? I don't remember you telling me.

Still, good to hear it's working. I don't want the mod to be a fix to the issue but I'm not sure at this point if it is. Anyone else here who never flashed the ext4 mod have an issue with the latest kernel booting?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
wanted to see what people think of ondemand with the new kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
seems identical to SA
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
I'm on CM 7.1.0. No, I didn't wipe cache before using the ext4 mod. I had no problem mounting /data, just /cache.

My gut feeling is that the ext4 mod had nothing to do with fixing the problem, that instead it was formatting /cache that did it, since the problem was that /cache wasn't mounting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
Tiny, have you considered trying to update Incredikernel to Linux 3.1?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
how so? I'm curious
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Why? Just because others are? I don't really want to dedicate the time needed to port it. Maybe Chad will when he can get back to work on it. I don't really want to fool around with patching a kernel to a new major version. I'm sure there are new benefits but the results may not be significant enough to try to patch it up to 3.0 or 3.1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dragery:
What was the desired results from the altered Ondemand vs SA? I'm a light-medium user, no games usually, no animations usually, but I do enjoy smooth menu scrolling and such.

I'm just wondering if the changes to Ondemand were going to improve battery life for users like me or if I should just stay with SA.

*Using Condemned CM7.1 Stripped 2 Hell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
Just recently switched from SAv2 to ondemand and my impression is that ondemand seems more fluid or smother than SA2. Scrolling seems better too, not a jerky as I was used to. Battery drain seems allot better, doesn't drain as fast as SA2 when using it but I think the screen off may not be quite as good as SA2 but I am willing to take the trade off. Hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Why don't you just use a SetCPU profile for screen off? Set it to 245 min 384 max with the conservative governor, then you basically have smartassv2!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
I have been told that setcpu doesn't play nice with CM7.

Sent from my incredible incredible!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
I forgot to add that I have cm7 set to 128 minimum.

Sent from my incredible incredible!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
I've used SetCPU with CM7 before for the profile feature. Otherwise, without profiles, the built in cm7 settings are better.

I use it on MIUI and have no problems. it's worth a shot, no?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PokerMunkee:
Is there no tun.ko module in the latest ASOP kernel?

I need OpenVPN to work :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PokerMunkee:
Nevermind, I got OpenVPN to work with this kernel. I guess I don't need tun.ko anymore? Sweet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I'm pretty sure it's built in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
Tiny... Will this kernel work with ICS?

I know CM9 is only a couple months out,
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Not sure. A working ics build with most basic functions is not even out and you're asking if this kernel will work in ics. Its about as likely add stock cm 7 kernel and the answer is unknown but probably not as is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Can you add 1152000 and 1190400 CPU frequencies like you did with sense version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Nahh, the CPU gain is not really worth the stability drops for only 60Mhz. Plus this is really Chad's kernel that I'm just making updates to. I kind of don't know why I even overclocked sense to that level when I knew there'd be more issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Running CM7.1 Stable with your latest update to Chad (11/10?) set at Ondemand 128/768. Perfect, battery life is great, no problems. Thanks Tiny!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
Might have missed why but.mine is defaulting to ondemand with most recent and miui. SA2 is doing much better for battery life for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprakes:
I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this, but I haven't kept up in this thread the past month or so, and 400 plus pages, I just can't figure out whats up. I'm not sure what is going on with the updating of the kernel, (who is updating, why, and why there seem to be 2 versions of it now, "tiny") but I just need to know which I should update to. I'm running the 08/15 kernel on CM Stable 7.1, and want to update. I'm not tooo savvy, I'm just looking to still have quick charge and a good option for profile. Sorry, noobish of me, I apologize.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Basicly, the only thing added was smartass v2. Tiny has temporarily taken over incredikernel for Chad who is busy with school. If 8/15 still works (what I'm running) then keep using it. I didn't see any reason to upgrade. Best of luck.

-Dual core? I don't need no stinking dual core!-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] natezire71:
What the are voltages?

I am coming from an OG Droid, and it's kernels always had the option of flashing an LV, ULV, or SV kernels.

I was hoping that this kernel was a LV kernel, or am I mistaken?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
You can change it with incredicontrol (found in the market) or use neo's aggressive undervolt zip and flash that. But I'd use incredicontrol to find the sweet spot for your phone.

-Dual core? I don't need no stinking dual core!-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rodgeone:
Loving this kernel right now...battery life is awesome
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pkmn760:
My up-time is about 38 hours and nothing seems to be going wrong. I will keep a close eye on it tomorrow (without a reboot) and then try the next day rebooting to see if there is a difference.

(Or I will probably forget to do any of this since I am in the middle of my finals haha, unless it is really bad battery life tomorrow and I post here ...assume all is normal)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
Been running this kernel on the newest Desire Z v1.1 release, seems to be some choppiness and major lag/freezing whenever an app finishes downloading and is installing on the drive. Also choppy when something is syncing in the background. It takes forever to install apps and also load the Manage Applications list. Is this a ROM problem or a kernel problem, and is this kernel even designed to run on this ROM at all?

Also, i found that disabling Fastboot on Settings > Applications helped but it is still way choppier on this ROM than on Virtuous.

This is the best kernel by FAR imo and the desire z is the best rom by far, I would love to see them both working together!! Thanks so much for all your hard work chad, you are the man!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chicojd:
I've been getting these speeds pretty regular. Is this not average for VZW?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] King Speedy:
Depends on location. Sometimes I'll be around 2mbit, sometimes I'll be struggling to hit 500kbit. Even if you have the same level of signal as another location, your actual network speed can be completely different.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
I can tell you that it is not the kernel, I have the similar problem with the stock (ziggy) kernel that came with the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Get it while its hot.

12-01-2010

Enabled 128mhz

Added scheduler autogrouping support http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128979084506774&w=2

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I love this Kernel.. thanks for the brand-new update!!!

Just an update, i have updated to the new one, and the 128 just makes the system too jerky. Using SetCPU to overclock and up the min speed has helped, but i may be losing the HAVS advantage... :-s
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DaGunn:
I only found two tweaks in the ZiggyTweaks-Update.zip. The ScreenOff_scaling script and the sysctl.conf configuration file that tweaks the allocation of memory and cache.

Doesn't appear to have a 3G tweak in that zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
By default it'll never actually scale down to 128 unless you make a sleep profile that does. At least it shouldn't, if people notice it is scaling that low for some reason I'll just change the min freq on boot back to 245, but you'll still be able to enable it setcpu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
I'm sure that you are correct, I was led to believe that the sysctl.conf file was a 3G tweak but I hadn't gotten to look into it. They use a file with the same name to tweak the 3G in the Fascinate forum so I think that information was crossed up. I knew this script had a memory tweak in it but hadn't found it, thanks for clearing that up.:D

Edit: I do reserve the right to be wrong, after all. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baciv:
Any chance of this kernel turning up in ROM Manager?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
Any chance we'll see BFS cooked in?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
The battery life is good even when it is overclocked?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omgi0wn:
Hey, what was changed in this newest version?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ahddm:
Quick question, I have had a custom ROM for my Inc since they started popping up stable versions but never messed with kernels, can I use this Kernel with SkyRaider's Vanilla Rom? I have the most up to date version he has put out, S-Off and haven't installed the Nov OTA if that makes any difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JarrettXavier:
My phone is super crashy on the 12/01/2010 edition, even with set CPU specifying 998 mhz max and 245 min on smartass. :( Back to 11/28 for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMCO:
Running Myn's with SetCPU at 1075/128 in smartass. Average about a 1400 in Quadrant. Have been using the 11/26 Kernel with SkyRaider 3.3.4 and now Myn's and both have run smooth as silk with great battery life. I'll give this a go for a day or two and see how it goes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wgsesq:
Chad?

Chad I didn't try this newest one yet, how did you hit 1500 in quadrant? I can't get over 1400. Did you change settings in set CPU? What settings would you recommend?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] natezire71:
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Quick question: What voltages do you consider "low?" I just lowered everything by 50, both the min and max. Not sure what qualifies as "low". Also, when I press "Apply" does that take effect instantly? Or do I have to reboot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
I think the script lowers the max by 50 and the mins to 700. I have found lowering both the max and min by 50 works well on my phone. You need to press apply and then reboot for the new voltages to take effect.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
No you don't have to reboot if you set it with incredicontrol by pressing apply. In fact, if you reboot and don't click set on boot the voltage changes will not take effect.

I agreee on the -50 for max and min. It works well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlokos:
My bad; thanks, Tiny. I always press apply so I thought you had to reboot. Good to know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] natezire71:
Thanks Tiny, and thank you jlokos!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Have a link to this neo script? Does it make the changes permanent after a reboot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
scripts can be placed into /system/etc/unit.d and will load at boot if your Tom selection has that folder. only time they're removed is if you flash a new rom,an update or nightly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] timbck2:
Just some quick feedback on Incredikernel - I had been using the smartass v2 governor and I thought I'd try ondemand for a while to see if I noticed a difference. With ondemand, I started seeing sluggish, unresponsive performance at times, which I never saw with sav2. So I've switched back to sav2 now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
And others have reported ondemand smoother i think. It doesn't make sense as ondemand hangs out at the higher cpu most of the time when it's in use although it pretty much ignores the midrange and appears to run either high or low cpu.

Well, thanks for the feedback.

We'll see, we should have newer ondemand, conservative, and performance governors in the next release. Interactive didn't work correctly when backporting from the kernel 3.0 source.

I'm not sure if people use conservative though. It should yield better battery life at the cost of some performance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
sa2 also hangs at upper and ignores a bunch of frequencies for me. conservative is fine for my screen off profile
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Ondemand is min or max.

So you use ondemand plus conservative for sleep?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
SAv2, 10/8. Seems to totally ignore some frequencies.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
mine is very similar as well.. min voltage is 700 for all and max are 25 apart going from 800 and up
