Its all good. I just don't want people flashing things from there that I haven't mentioned because I toss things up there randomly to download to my phone and test. So at any given moment something entirely non-functional or even potentially dangerous could be up there.

For example, if I were playing with YAFFS and a configuration option is wrong, it corrupts your whole file system... I know this from experience. Haha. So I just don't want peoples phones to end up hosed.

Whats it say? You don't have USB debugging on when you're trying to tether do you?

Never heard of such a thing. What ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
Ive been running the beta since its release and I've had no troubles, very stable using smartass governor, no wake issues..

The latest MIUI. Maybe my phone is just on it way out or something. That was weird because I had never seen that message before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
I didn't try to troubleshoot too in depth since I was in a rush and had to go. It didn't say anything, just didn't automatically connect. Debugging was on, which hasn't mattered on any other kernel, including your latest.

I am using your 4/19 2.6.37.6, and tether automatically connected when I turned it on. Switched to your beta, after wiping dalvik and cache, and nothing. Went back to the previous, and USB tether started working again. If no one else is having this problem, I'll take a look at my end when I get some spare time.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfrederick:
I guess I'll have to download and flash when I get home, stupid government networks have terrible filtering software. I can go to YouTube and Facebook but I can't download a kernel from this guy. Sad face.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.

EDIT

Sent link to email on my phone and it started the download. Is the file size really only 2.21mb?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Yes its only 2.21mb

And that's really lame that it gets filtered. :(

USB tethering

I'm sure this has been addressed before...I'm trying to figure out how to use USB tethering on this kernel (using the 4/19 release). USB debugging is turned off, I've tried installing the HTC driver via VZAM...anyone who's been able to use this, mind describing exactly how?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
What ROM? Some tethering apps you need debugging on, some cases off, thats why I asked previously. You try it both ways? What app?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfrederick:
Hey Chad, so I just downloaded the kernel through the phones browser. Flashed perfectly and is running like a hot knife running through butter. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Chad, I'm trying to modify the ramdisk in your kernel to mount data as ext4. The process I found at http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-443994.html led to my ROM not booting. I reflashed your kernel and was fine.

It seems that the ramdisk is hidden as I can't find it in the zip. I extracted the ramdisk using android kitchen from a boot.img made with clockworkmod which is the same kernel and when I combined it using the mkbootimg binary and flashed it my OS wouldn't boot.

My goal in all this is to be able to run different filesystems than the ROM maintainer requests but also to be able to swap kernel's in Team ADX' DualRom solution.

But primarily it is a fun challenge and an educational experience.

My goal is to use your sense kernel with the modified ramdisk from Team ADX.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I generally don't package a ramdisk with the kernel. AnyKernel extracts the ramdisk from your boot partition and then repackages it with the new kernel into a new boot.img and flashes that.

You can easily modify AnyKernel to just use a ramdisk you want to package with it though by adding the ramdisk into the kernel directory (with a name different from boot.img-ramdisk.gz--if i want to package a ramdisk I just name it newboot.img-ramdisk.gz)

And then modify the mkbootimg.sh script to use that ramdisk by changing boot.img-ramdisk.gz to whatever you named the ramdisk you put in the kernel directory of AnyKernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
Pure awesomeness. I'm going on almost 36hrs on a full charge and I'm at 25%, smartass, I'm using the 1500ma battery but the charge is definetly longer.

sent by 1 of the many droids
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I just noticed that it does that upon further inspection. I actually even tried it before seeing your post. Since ext4 is probably a negligible change I may not worry about it as my main concern with updating ramdisk was changing internal emmc kernel to a different one and have it work with the dualrom solution. Thanks for the help. I think I'll look more into anykernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
So is there anything changed in beta 2 besides the USB tethering fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I successfully updated the ramdisk to mount /data and /cache as ext4. It was actually a lot easier than I thought thanks to your help and anykernel and android kitchen (and a google search).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dabomb697:
Has anyone been having issues with the wireless tether with the beta?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:

Flashing now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gorilla*:
Im waiting for a change log, and the official before flashing..

4-19 is so smooth, why upgrade?

I like the updates in 4-19,

can u tell us chad what we are getting in this new one?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
The beta feature set is the same as 4/19 just 2.6.38.6. I put it out there to get feedback so I could fix any bugs before working on new features. The final will have some new stuff.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
From what I've seen, chad doesn't post change logs to betas to avoid people claiming placebo effects. He does post change logs to finals. He also doesn't post minor updates, they all have substance, even if just an updated kernel version.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hows battery life on beta 2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
Hey chad. On beta 1 and not getting emails pushed from touchdown. Using cm7 #75. This happens when screen is off. As soon as I wake screen I get all emails. Flashed back to 4/19 and it seems to work fine. Any ideas? I'm double checking now on 4/19 to make sure it works there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
128mhz might be too low for you for a minimum. Increase it to 245 and you should be good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
Beta 1 flashed for me set to 245. So that's where I left it. Does that sound right?

Edit: Just flashed back to beta1 and now emails are being pushed just fine. maybe not a kernel issue after all. If you have any ideas on this please let me know. I will continue to test and see what I come up with. Thank you for your help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sylent101:
Seeing amazing battery life with this ..thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
Ditto, best battery life I have ever had to date!

Might have a little something else up my sleeve too.... :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
......Sense-related? :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Unfortunately not :(

It blows my mind why it glitches like that. There's no good reason. I have an idea for that though, thats entirely non-kernel related.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Niiice, can't wait, btw I miss those voltage tweaks, they were great, if I put the voltage tweaks back, will it bootloop? Or only an install problem

Sent from my AMOLED Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No, you can use them. I just wanted people to remove them before flashing to make sure it booted fine before flashing them again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] V0latyle:
Sorry about the late response. I'm using CM7, therefore the native USB tethering option under the Wireless Networks menu. Yes, I have tried tethering with USB debugging off AND on. As for the app...I'm honestly not sure what slayher does for the native tethering, I thought it just used tunneling. I dunno. Can't seem to get it to work with your kernel, or the stock kernel either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Awesome! I keep up with every kernel you release and I don't know how, but each seems to be even better than the last. Performance, battery, everything is just *****in :)

Just kinda curious as to what your thought is on setting the ceiling for overclocking on your kernel?

I've noticed invisiblek and tiamat allow for higher frequencies.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] steveox:
I have been running the 4/19 release since is came out of the oven and loved it. When I installed the beta 1 I got boot loops, so I took it off knowing it would only be a couple days before it was good to go. Just installed beta 2 a little while ago and it's up and running like a ninja in the night. Nice work Chad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
What operating system are you running. It should work with vista/7 out of the box. XP has issues. Did you try installing HTC sync?

Edit:

Also try this driver. It may work. I'd test it for you but I don't have an xp box around.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445436

I keep it at 113600 because the vast majority of people can hit it if they want. Many can't do higher, and really, its a total waste of battery for insignificant gain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] V0latyle:
I'm on Windows 7. I'll have to try that later but I don't think having Sync installed helped...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
Chad,

not sure if anyone else is having issues, but with the beta2 2.6.38.2 kernel I'm having issues with the A2DP connection/playback with my BlackBerry BT gateway. With the 4/19 (2.6.37.6) kernel I have no issue, nor on my GF's Inc running your 12/23 sense kernel.

The two big issues are that the phone doesn't auto-reconnect to the BT gateway when powered on (ignition powered in car), and that playback has frequent momentary dropouts. I tested with a clean wipe of CM7 #77, using both the 11/19 and 04/15 radios. AMOLED screen if it makes a difference.

let me know if I can provide any further info to help diagnose.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
So on the exact same installation, if you flash 4/19 it works fine, and then flash beta 2 you have issues, which then go away when flashing 4/19 again?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
that was the case, but I just retested now and 4/19 is giving me issues also. I'm going to test a clean install of CM7 with the stock kernel and go from there. Definitely no issues with my GF's Inc running stock 3.26.605.7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] breakthestatic:
I've had these auto-reconnect issues on cm7 even with the bundled kernel from slayher. There are a few threads around with people having the same issues, do I don't think it's an issue with chad's kernel. The only time I ever saw the working bt auto-reconnect has been with sense-based roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
clean install of #80, only gapps and pandora installed. tested used wifi and 3g data in this order:

stock kernel: flawless playback, reconnect >75%

4/19 kernel: choppy playback, reconnect < 10%

stock kernel: flawless playback, reconnect >75%

beta2 kernel: choppy playback, reconnect < 10%

perhaps, but the playback issues are definitely not present in the stock CM7 kernel. and given that half the time it fails to reconnect, I have to turn on/off BT on either the phone or the gateway, it's not a minor issue for me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
What gov/min frequency are you using? Choppy playback could be due to a low minimum frequency. Try changing your gov to Interactive and upping your minimum frequency to 245 or 384 and see if the choppiness goes away. Let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
sorry, should have included that originally. Tested with smartass, interactive, and performance. min/max 384/1113
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.38.6-incredikernel-beta3.zip

@Matt - I made some changes that may (hopefully will) help your issue. Its always difficult to figure out/fix an issue when I can't test it myself.

A couple new features in this one. Lets see who can figure them out. One is really obvious, its a little something I've been working on because its going to be replacing something that's getting a bit outdated and been in PITA lately. Its perfectly usable and works well now, but I'm still working on it, so it will change some before the final release (a few things to add/adjust).

The other is a little harder to find, but there will be some people who are definitely thankful for it. Lets see if anyone can figure that one out. :confused:

:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
What is ingenious governor? Is it better than smartass? Please gommie details
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No details. Details come at release. You can play with it now and see how you like it.

Edit: I lied, one detail is that you don't need to set a screen off profile.

Edit2: I lied again, another detail is that smartass is going byebye and it's replacing it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
Sweet I was going to ask about a sleep profile with it but you answered me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I just tried ingenious and I am getting very noticeable juddering when scrolling through the app list on LauncherPro. With smartass, it was perfectly smooth.

EDIT: Scrolling is also really jerky in the OI File Manager included with Cyanogen. I think the governor is too conservative.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
:confused:

Whats your min/max? Set it to 128 min/whatever max using cyanogen settings, check set and boot, and reboot. Don't use setcpu at all (if you were)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I have it set at 128/1113 with no SetCPU or anything else, same as before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Okay, I see what you mean, if you scroll really slow in the file manager.

Thanks. I can adjust default settings to smooth things (plus there is will be more user adjustable options as well)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
User-adjustable settings? Where are those?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ingenious

a couple of them do nothing right now since its not quite finished.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I'm trying Ingenious at 128/768 (what I usually have Smartass set to). I'm not experiencing any "juddering" or any other problems: lists, homescreens, etc all scroll buttery-smooth whether I'm going fast or slow.

Maybe you don't want to get into this yet, but does "sleep_wakeup_freq" mean that whenever the screen is turned on, it will immediately scale to that frequency? Then presumably back down again once the demand is no longer there?

I see that it is currently set to 998. I assume that is to prevent laggy wake-up behavior? If I already have my screen-on max set to 768, how does the governor then handle the wakeup freq?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
Whoa! I am beyond impressed. This is going to be amazing.

EDIT: I 2nd byrong's question above. same min/max frequencies. noticed that setting in there too. Understand if too early in work to answer.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildland:
Likewise - all scrolling I've tried so far is smooth, including LP+ app drawer (LP+ current beta / amoled inc. / cm7 nightly).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
My haptic feedback has definitely gotten inconsistent on the new gov. Sometimes I get none, sometimes it seems very faint, sometimes a bit forceful. I did get one really long vibration on a... make that two long vibes, that prompted me to check my notifications for new messages. No scrolling lag here, but my keyboard is now having some new lag issues (flexT9). Both swipe and tap.

Wondering what the hidden surprise could be... TV out? Perpetual motion? Time travel? Anything is possible with teh Chad.

:D

[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
If your max is set to 768 it'll wake at 768.

I've noticed that too. I thought I had it fixed but I guess not. I'll have to work on it some more. I think it has something to do with the gov timer interfering with the vibrate timer or something along those lines.

If you're already snooping around the sysfs (everything in /sys) stuff the hidden surprise might just be in there...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
Same here. Default settings on beta 3 all scrolling smooth. Default adw launcher. My app drawer is laggy due to my rover theme icons but they are always laggy

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
ADW is by definition not smooth. It runs at 30fps, and in order to see what I am talking about you would need 60fps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
OMG this kernel rocks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
Well then I guess that's why I don't see it

On that note. Would you suggest launcher pro? I've tried go launcher and launcher pro before nothing stuck for me though. Sorry for off topic but im always willing to learn more about this device
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Nope. That's not it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I am at a complete loss as to what that new feature is. I even diff'ed the output of "ls -R /sys" for beta 2 and beta 3 and didn't find anything conclusive...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Alright alright, I'll give it up.

/sys/kernel/audio_boost/aboost

1 = on

0 = off

I think I may have fixed the haptic issue too. Let me test for a couple hours to confirm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I had actually seen that, but I didn't realize at first that it was something new. I though audio boost had been a part of the kernel all along, and I didn't realize that the new sysfs interface was a switch.

Also, after some testing of the user configuration for ingenious, I have found that I have to set go_maxspeed_load all the way down to 40 to get perfectly smooth scrolling again. How does the behavior of this scheduler compare with smartass? Will setting it to 40 kill my battery life?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
It had audio boost. Just no way of turning it on and off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SteveG12543:
Oh lol hmmmm. I saw that too, didn't think twice about it though. I'm getting the random differences in vibration strengths too. At leat you think you've got it fixed. Can't wait for the official update!

Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.0.3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
ahhh. That was my next guess before giving up, cuz that is a big ol' folder. wasn't sure if that was there before, though.

Happy to test the fix if you want confirmation for SLCD.

Having some pretty severe wake lag on beta 3 using the ingenious governor with 128/1075 on cm7 nightly 76.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
Loaded up lp. Only had haptic issues on lp. Went back to adw and no issue. Does that makes sense?

Edit: I'm also seeing some bad lag with live weather wallpaper with beautiful widgets. Adw with cm7#81 beta 3 kernel with default settings
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
Chad - much improved from beta2, but still seems to skip/drop out once every 2-3 mins
[Droid Incredible Android Development] f100cleveland:
Beta 3 is super fast and smooth. Only issue I seem to be having is a phone that doesn't want to wake every so often. Running ingenious at 128/768.

Cm7 nightly #81 and amoled screen.

Great work again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I've gotten a long wake every now and then too. I know some of the newer nightlies have had some black screen of death issues so I'm not sure if its 100% me or related to that too. Definitely going to still work on it though since there are still changes I can make.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
The longer I play with it, the more I seem to get wake issues with ingenious. Better after a reboot. It was almost doing a sleep/wake cycling thing on its own during an RM permissions fix. Very strange.
