Can anyone give me the cliffs on audioboost?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Louder in-call / headset volume mostly.

Looking into later making this an option that can bet set by the user.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] markassbuster:
Thank you sir
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
I'm getting weird graphical issues on mine. The icons at the top sometimes have black horizontal static-like lines. I'm using IncRom 1.2 and didn't have this issue with the stock kernel or Lou's #8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Read the OP, its a known issue with sense roms. Its being worked on.

The last kernel that supports sense currently is 12/23.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
Ah thank you. I do like the louder audio and speed, so I'll probably stick with this even though I'm using a sense ROM. Thanks again! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr4r4n:
just out of curiosity is it a fairly noticeable boost?, im asking because i normally use grooveshark/ my own music collection but i can never use it on a nyc street because its just too noisy out turned up with bose headphones lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
I only tested the audio with phone calls, and it is definitely noticeable! No more straining to hear others talking. You can almost use the regular earpiece as a speaker...it's THAT loud! It's a bit distorted because it's so loud, so I back down my in-call volume one step and sounds great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
What AOSP rom are you guys using with this kernel?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mobilehavoc:
Does this latest kernel fix the issue with USB SD card mounting. With the last Chad kernel everything worked great except when I would try to mount the SD card with USB it would mount only internal memory and the phone would basically freeze. I then flashed a newer nightly and left the stock kernel, usb storage for sd card works fine with that so it's definitely Kernel related.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
It works. I've noticed when going from a non-fast charge kernel (or sbc or anything that uses different battery drivers) to a fast charge kernel the battery seems to get a bit confused on the first charge and you have to run it for a cycle before it straightens out.

Try it and see. USB mounting has always worked for me. There aren't any differences in the gadget drivers between this kernel and the stock one...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
So, i just want to make sure i am not being totally daft - the last sense Kernel was 12/30, correct? It has been a long while since i messed with my Incredible's kernel (running 12/13 incredikernel), so i want to make sure.

If so, certainly a bummer, as it sounds like the new kernels really bring alot of nice features... maybe i will have to upgrade my inc to match my Nook's CM7 build....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiggad369:
I'm on the same boat.

The 2.6.37.3 kernel is giving me the graphical issues on Senseless Revolution 2.0 but I like the new features after the 12/23 Sense kernel.

Am I risking any physical damage to the phone if I keep the 2.6.37.3 kernel (even with the graphical issues)? Or should I upgrade to CM7? :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
12/23 is the last one. Sense really seems to hate any kernel that's not .32. Still trying to track the issue down though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I don't think it'll damage anything, but it is pretty annoying, especially when charging. Haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] snorlackjack:
hey chad, thank you very much for this kernal. Its by far my favorite.

Question!!!

I understand that 12/23 was the last sense kernal, but i am using incredibly re-engineered, and it has the evo framework. What will this new kernal do in regards to the framework (and i do understand its a sense rom)?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Shouldn't make a difference. The artifacting seems to affect all phones on all platforms when a sense ROM is used with a .35 or .37 kernel. :confused:

I've already ported all the graphics stuff directly from the HTC source and it still persists so its something else. Its basically like finding a needle in a haystack, which is why its been taking so long for a fix.

I've never had any wake issues with your previous kernels, but I am having slight issues with this one. Nothing major, but the phone doesn't always respond to the first click of the power button to wake up now. Seems more likely if the phone has been sitting idle for a while, but the problem doesn't consistently happen.

It's not enough to stop me from using this kernel, but figured I'd at least report back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
Just d/l and installed the .4 kernel. Wow, it is SUPER QUICK to wake up when I hit the button now. Love this :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
I'm using your new Froyo version #4 on Jager ROM Final AOSP (yeah, I know, but it's my favorite!), and I just got a reboot after all the buttons and the touch screen froze. I was one of the few that needed the altered voltage versions of both 37 and the old 32 from December. Could that be the problem? Or is it more likely the 37 with an older Froyo ROM?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] bucwylde23:
Just wanted to comment and say that I'm loving this kernel. I've tried stock and invisiblek, but this one has been my favorite by far. Audio boost, fast charge, battery life, all amazing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baram:
just flashed the new one. definitely waking up much quicker in general. i was getting one press with the 313 kernel but somewhat slow and this is a lot better. also seems quite a bit snapper in general under the same settings.

just flashed 3152011 over 3062011 with CM7 #14 and this is the smoothest its ever been. Really nice work chad!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
Was hating on your kernel only a lil because I was getting ugh battery life! I updated to new update and woah **** is smooooth! Battery life seems way better. I think am just playing with my phone to much lol :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ridl3y:
I too have been getting slower power button speeds ever since I upgraded to 2.6.37.4.

Oh well. Looks like I'm going back to .3 for a while.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sting0387:
First time I've ever tried to flash a kernal. Was quite surprised at how much it has effected the performance of my phone.

Asphalt 5 went from about 10 fps with slow downs to 2-3 fps to a nearly constant 25+ (my guestimates) but it is vastly a different playing experience. I can actually play the damn game now >.>. One of my other 3d games went from about 20 fps to 45-50ish.

The only drawback I have experienced is slow loading of apps that are on my sdcard on initial bootup and some lag when swype(ing) in text messages, but I'll take it for the huge increase in fps for my apps
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Unbelievable battery life with this kernal and faster charging, im using redemptive revolutions latest version and got my best quasdrant score ever. great job dude!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] megarek:
This is a fantastic kernel for CM6. However, there seems to be a bug that is making the phone a bit laggy. Sometimes when the phone wakes up, it seems that the clock frequency remains stuck at 245-384. OSMonitor is reporting this. After some time, the phone seems to figure out what is wrong a switches to the correct 245-1000 clock range. Until that happens, the phone is very slow. This is also reflected in my quadrant score which is about 700 when this happens, but then increases to 1500 with the correct clock frequencies. This also only seems to happen while the phone is plugged in and charging.

Does anyone else experiencing lag or low quandrant scores on the CM6 kernel have this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
Haven't seen this on Ruby. Do you have SetCPU?

Droid Incredible, Ruby 1.1.4, AOSP modded 2.6.32.17 kernel (chad0989), 7.28 radio, LauncherProPlus
[Droid Incredible Android Development] megarek:
I had SetCPU uninstalled when experiencing this issue. I am now using SetCPU to make profiles to get around this bug which works pretty well.

Looking back a few post, I am not the only person experiencing this. There were a few others describing low Quadrant scores or fluctuating scores. I think this is a bug related to the setting of clock frequencies when the phone is plugged in and wakes up from screen off.

With the cm6 kernel I'm not seeing much difference in charge times. Laggy at times also.

bro your cm6 bfs kernel tore my phone a new asshole

thanks and excellent work

i have no idea why others are having issues
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmo220:
Been using the CM6 kernel for I think about 48 hours. I've had the low quadrant scores, and really good ones, and twice my phone has shut down and needed a battery pull. Not sure whats going on but it seems really good when it is working right. Thanks for the work, hopefully this can get figured out. I'm going to keep using and see if I can find any pattern to whats causing this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
Setcpu will fix u guys up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmo220:
How is setcpu going to help out? I'm not doubting you I'd just like to know. I've found in the past when I use it things get messed up more than helped.

It did help with the cpu not running right. When it's happening it shows my cpu only running up to about 400. Since this kernel is supposed to have a screen off profile built in (I think) is it necessary to set one through SetCPU?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elrui:
I new a good setcpu profile
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
See the bugs will be worked out soon but set cpu for now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
New one up. Let me know how this one goes. Updated the source, Removed BFS and tweaked the smartass governor + made it default. I think this one might be a winner.

No HAVS yet (stability issues) but working on it to squeeze some extra battery life out of the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmo220:
I guess I'll be the first to ask. Are you going to make an AOSP version of the new one? Thanks for all the hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
This seems like a rather intelligent kernel should it be used with setcpu or just left to do what it does??

Am I doing something wrong? I installed the gingerbread version of the kernel via reecovery, my phone got stuck on the 4 colours and did nothing else. I am on passion and running cm7 nightly #21 thankfully I was able to boot into recovery by holding trackball down and restarting my phone, then reflashed #21 nightly. Did I install the kernel wrong?

Newest version of the kernel doesn't have any wake up issues with a min 128MHz set, CM7 RC2. Great work.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Hey Chad, thanks for another iteration of a great kernel. That said, this #4 with CM7 nightly #19 3-13-11 AMOLED, HBOOT .92, Radio X11.19, strong EvDO signal . . . causes one of the oldest Android symptoms (for me, at least, dating back to TMo/my G1) . . . no data connection to any Last.fm streaming server. As soon as I reverted to 7rc2, all was well. Any idea what could cause this issue from a kernel perspective? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Should be completely unrelated. The only change that could possibly effect it is that I reverted some VPN code forward ported from 2.6.35 because the bug was finally fixed upstream in CM7. I'm not sure if it was fixed before or after RC2 though. But unless your connecting over vpn for some reason (connecting from somewhere that last.fm won't stream to?) with software that doesn't support the newer vpn changes in 2.6.37, there shouldn't be an issue...

What are you using to stream it?

Is anyone getting good battery life with this kernel? I'm running nightly #21 and I was previously running the 2/27 kernel with no issues... updated to the 3/15 kernel and overnight with mobile data, sync and wifi

OFF

I went from 49% to 15% battery.... Reverted to the 2/27 kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
No complaints from me.

~13hrs of use... still have ~60% remaining. None of my use has been particularly heavy, but I've been listening to a lot of music (some through the speaker, some through headphones)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
Yeah man, battery life is outstanding on this. Your sh*t's jacked up. Something is syncing and/or your battery stats are off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
I'm getting some pretty amazing battery life on the 03/15 kernel.

Props chad!

If you flashed the kernel when your battery was low, it will temporarily show the percentage much higher than it actually is after flashing. It takes a good several minutes to go back down to the real level- which should of been where it was at before you flashed.

Technically the battery level never changed, it was just gauged poorly after a new kernel flash (sort of like the ~10% drop in the morning)

The last 2 kernel flashes I've done this has happened to me, but I always knew it was doing it because I remember the battery life was at 20% then after the flash it was a ridiculous 43% and dropped like a rock for the next 10-15 minutes.

Just a thought, it's possible you have something massively eating your battery up that you don't know about? But I think the battery stats on CM7 would clearly show what that is.

The battery life on this kernel and CM7 is the best I've ever gotten, even on my beloved SkyRaider 3.5 setup.

Make sure you also put the minimum CPU frequency to 128, CM7 by default sets it to 300-something.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
My battery usage.

Very pleased with the kernel since the ability to modify the voltage tables. I posted a while back a table ive been using, and have been tweaking more.

I've had the flu the since the weekend, and have used the phone light-moderate, including laying on the couch with the fiance playing Angry Birds, surfing the net, listening to music, etc. I've made a few phone calls here and there, and actually was on the phone while i made the screencaps.

I encourage people to test out voltages. Tweaking out every bit of juice can do wonders.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
Tried out like 3 other kernels today and nothing can touch the speed of this!!! Its so fast and responsive! The keyboard is very fast compared to the other kernels I tested. Awesome job bro! Battery life is decent but what catches my eye the speed! Lol. Was trying other kernels out for better battery life but can't get over the speed in this :) :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ianworld:
Woah! is that really 4 days! That is outstanding. What process have you been using to tweak your voltage settings. I found that while my phone was stable at 998 and down low at 128/345 the middle frequencies were often unstable. However the phone clocks into those much less often leading random reboots. So any advice on tweaking there would be helpful. Any tests you did for stability other than just day to day use?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Derrtydozen:
+1

what tweaks are you hiding! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kdb424:
I thank you very much. I run the evo battery in my phone, and can get through a day in 20% battery on my current setup, though I'll test your voltages and try again. If quick charge, and the new update makin my phone super fast at 600MHZ wasn't enough! I'm really sorry that you felt ill, though I love what you do when you are so. If this kernel gets any better, I'm gonna have to buy a new phone because my Inc will blow up from being so awesome!

I'm getting great battery life on this but my phone random rebooted 3 times today. Mind you I didn't even use it that much, I still have 73% left.

It rebooted twice while using Google Nav and once randomly when I was trying to answer a text.

Using latest GB kernel with CM7 and min 128 max 883, smartass on and nothing else with the voltages changed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Derrtydozen:
I'm using the same frequencies with no prob...maybe try changing up the frequencies....I hear having you max too low causes reboots
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Increase your voltages. See the op for the guide or theres a post on the previous page

Wouldn't this result in worse battery life?

awesome GB kernel Chad

the best by far
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Derrtydozen:
It might, but its better than having your phone boot ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
I'm going to try putting the max back up to 998mhz and see if that makes any difference.
