Test-driving #9 on Magnolia ROM now. Hoping for better battery life.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmiller98:
Your kernals are kicking a**. Running super z at the moment and it flying and stable. Great job.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] taihard:
Running #9 for about 24 hours and my phone about crawled to a halt until I restarted... Gonna run it for another day to see if it was just bad luck but I may be going back to number 8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
#10 w/ all of #9's features added multi touch......... :)

#10 w/ all of #9's features minus BFS add multi touch...or wout..

so many options......if I knew how to make kernels, the choices would drive me nuts! thank goodness for Lou! Using 9 now..everythings great so far..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tom Kellogg:
Some results ...

Running Redemption 2.3

w/ Lou's#8:

- immediately after reboot; Quadrant - 1241 - 1288

- subsequent runs: 1370 - 1400

- graphics very fast and fairly smooth, some scrolling jitters. #4 may be smoother.

w/ Lou's #9:

- immediately after reboot; 1236 - 1272

- subsequent runs: 1371 - 1495

- graphics very fast but somewhat jumpy ... just perception, when scrolling the screen writing is not as smooth as with #8.

Both kernels run dead stable for me. As long as I am smart with radio management, battery life is very good. Lou is a hero. I'm about to buy him a coffee. Do you like Yergacheffe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] m411b:
For our phones, you really would be better off with BFS!

BTW, thanx Lou for such great work on all these kernels. I've tried just about every one available for the Incredible and yours are always what I come back too.. Great Work.

Just some help understanding BFS and CFS, hope this helps -

[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
been having issues with the market since using #9. Downloads get stuck and market fc's a lot. anyone else experience this?

Might just go back to #8, it was soooo good
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Koreylaw:
Ran #9 for a couple days, seems to me that #8 runs a bit smoother, reloading #8 as we speak, no issues there, me like.

Funstuff thanks Lou, you make my phone the envy of my friends that are running std Android and are afraid to root, won't because they are afraid of warranty issues or can't because it's a work phone. I'm gonna have to buy you a hot cup-a-joe soon. Keep up the good work, I will keep trying your updates as they come out. Your ROM's rule over standard load!

(SLCD version, smashed my AOLED first time I accidently dropped it, damnit)

Random phone freezes on 9.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
Wow that is such an amazing and insightful report of your problem! ;P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
Need I say more?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stevez48:
I am digging #9, no force closes... However, DSP Manager doesn't work. Is there a way I can uninstall and reinstall it to see if that solves the problem. Not sure if it is a ROM thing (running latest version of senseless) or Kernel. Anyone else having these problems?

Thanks Lou for all of your hard work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
I haven't had one reboot on #9. Glorious!!! I can't wait to try the clockwork recovery patch to get the multi-touch working lol. Thanks lou!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tom Kellogg:
9 to 8

Spent a few days with 9, back to 8 now. Seems to scroll a bit smoother. I'm being kind of silly since an Incredible with Lou's handiwork is so much easier to live with than stock that I am now picking at nits. Thanks for the work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
You can't expect something to get fixed (or a problem to be taken seriously) if all you say "Hey it's broken"...doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
If I felt it was something that needed fixing I would give more info. Kernels play differently with different phones. I run primarily Lous ROMs. So back off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
Regardless, just saying "hey my sh*ts broken" doesn't help anyone...just sayin'...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrDew87:
I had problems with 9 having random freeze fits as well. That or it would just become randomly sluggish while browsing the web or scrolling from screen to screen. Hope that's a bit more detailed. Freezing is freezing can't say much else. But 8 works amazing for me. On lous revolution 2.2 incase you were wondering. amazing work big guy thanks again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
True but of course the obvious attempts to fix it would be to wipe out the Dalvik cache, system cache and battery stat cache...that seems to always fix problems on my wife's DInc (regardless of what kernel is being used.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrDew87:
I did actually try that again. I do all 3 regardless whenever I download a new kernal. But it did not work for me the two times I did it.again this is fine with me if there is a 10 I'll try that one as well.i love all of lou's work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mellephants:
I've been using #4 since it came out. Just up'd to #9. Working great.

Thanks Lou.

EDIT possibly some issues with #9... investigating...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] taihard:
Using inc-rengineered and #9, my navigation could not lock onto the satellite so I switched back to #7 and everything seems fine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
So I tried out #9 but it wasn't running as smoothly as I would have liked so I downgraded to #8 and HOLY CRAP. I have yet to get this kind of battery life out of any other kernel. I still had 25% battery life at 9pm last night on moderate use.

I'm sure it won't break any speed records but overclocking on Snapdragons is beyond pointless and the increase in battery life this kernel provides more than makes up for it while still feeling snappy. If I may, I'd like to make a suggestion for #10 to possible be #8 + multitouch? That'd be amazing! Thanks again lou. Senseless + kernel #8 = sex
[Droid Incredible Android Development] taihard:
#7 is #8 with multitouch
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
I gave #9 a long hard trial and while I can't be certain, I believe it was causing lockups and resets when multitasking during chip intensive tasks. First, everything would seem to slow way down, then black screen, then reset. This has happened about 10 times or more in the past week or so since #9 first came out.

I've changed back to #8 which seems overall snappier. No lockups or resets yet, even with heavy multitasking. Once again, I'm not sure it's the kernel but believe it probably is.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
I had the same issue .... it happened to me when using GPS and trying to do other tasks at the same time. It kept boot looping until I did a battery pull. I never had that issue with #8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotroot801:
Rush and Yes references? Lou, if you start throwing Genesis and King Crimson song titles into the mix I might name my first born after you. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deckard_9732:
I tried 9 and it was sluggish and I had a few force closes so I tried 8 and it broke my 3G....very strange. I.am back to 4 and all is well!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RampageDeluxe:
I've been using #9 for 2 days now and my battery life has seen a sizable boost. I'm at 57% with 12 hours of on time. I've had about an hour and a half time on phone calls, and using the market and browser a decent amount today. I normally have to charge it within 8 to 10 hours, so this is a significant improvement for me.

My mflops usually run about 35, now they are about 32 consistently, but its not noticeable of course. I'm running stock froyo with an slcd screen. I've found the custom roms to not run as stable as stock, so I havent seen a reason to switch yet. When a honeycomb rom coms out Ill be right on it though.

Thanks for the work you do on your kernels Lou. You've made something great, even better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
Been running #9 on 2.1.3 for a week, great combo, good performance, much better battery life! Anyone recommend a better than non-stock battery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbum213:
Do you have an incredible? Mine seems to have the same problem, and I was on 4 for the longest. 9 is running pretty smooth, but my phone has been doing some weird things lately

HTC Incredible

Skyraider 3.5 w/ADW (y0rk's Red theme) & Skyred 1.7

HeyitsLou 2.6.32.17 Sense kernel #9
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeliosAI:
Just installed Lous #9 with my Uber Z rom and it's barely lost any battery at all (4%) in 3+ hours uptime with about 30 minutes use. Really impressed!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
#9 + Uber Z = Amazing
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeliosAI:
Just to clarify, that happened because BFS is designed more towards handling one task at a time. CFS, which I'm guessing is what's used in #8 is designed more for background processes (i.e. downloading a program in the background while browsing the web). BFS tends to work better for you if you do one thing at a time, but CFS is better suited for people that run multiple things at the same time. I'm not an expert, but that's sort of what I've come to understand about the differences between BFS and CFS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
You're pretty much correct. That's why I never use BFS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
After going back to #8 I noticed a complete difference in my phone. Runs way quicker and way smoother than #9 did using SR3.5. Batt life on #8 is a dream. Thanks again Lou.

INC. SR3.5, Lou #8, 40gb, 1800mah
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ttran97:
I was on #9 for a few days, but things started slowing down a lot at times, so I'm trying out #8 now. Loving it so far. Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
I've been running #7 for less than 24 hours so I havent seen it in action for TOO long...but just within this time my phone has slowed to a hault twice and rebooted itself 4 times -___-

Thoughts?

also, I started with #7 because 8 and 9 dont support multi-touch so i didnt want either of those
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
My thought? Change to a different kernal. You've got something in your system that isn't playing nice with that particular kernal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
fair enough lol. any suggestions? I've heard good things about 4 and was going to try that next because i saw multi touch support. I'm running Virtuous 3.2 on the incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Yeah, I've read that a LOT of people have enjoyed #4 with no issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] howarmat:
6 was real good for me. 9 has been pretty much been just as good too
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rench32:
#9

So far #9 has been awesome! Had my stock battery in yesterday, when I changed it today had 10% left, 26.5 hrs and almost 7 hrs of awake time. Pretty good for stock battery! IncROM 1.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
flashed #6 and will leave it for a while. we'll see how it goes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbeitel:
Been running 9 for 7 days now. Not a single problem. Great battery life. Thanks Lou
[Droid Incredible Android Development] qumahlin:
IMHO #8 is by far the best. You say you don't want to use it because it doesn't support multi-touch, but seriously how often do you actually need and use 3-5 fingers on the screen at the same time?

I ask because I have noticed some people think no multi-touch means it only recognizes one finger, but really no multi-touch means it doesn't recognize more than the standard two.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
yup I assumed no multi-touch was only 1 finger and that's all. I suppose I will try 8 then since I haven't liked the results of 4,6, and a full day and a half with 7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
I can't not use kernels without 3-10 finger multitouch. Gotta have it for roms... Mario never super jumped so well without 3 finger multitouch :-D

EDIT: I know i have asked this before but is there a way to change the min or something... cause i swear my phone lags like 70% of the time when first waking... it is barely noticeable but... i notice it. I think just a few mhz higher will make the difference. (dont wanna use setcpu)

EDIT2: I just want to change the screen off min/max to 384 instead of 245... it always seems to hiccup ever so slightly when the screen comes back up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mahsan988:
can someone PLEASE tell me the difference in all of these kernels?!?! there are so many.. which one is best for what exactly?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Been using #9 with Skyraider Athena and my phone has frozen and rebooted at least once every day, going to switch to #8 and see if that cures it. Any other ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheImmortal68:
+1 for RNDIS support!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbrits:
I've been running #4 since it was released, and I've been loath to switch to any other kernel because #4 has been running flawlessly. That being said, I was bored this morning so I flashed #8. So far so good. It seems snappy and my quadrant score jumped from an average of 1100 to 1200.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kubla1:
I flashed #6 last nite and so far, it's running nicely. I noticed that my phone bars doubled.

Why would someone need more than 2 fingers touch? I've only used 2 fingers to enlarge a photo. I tried 3 & 4 but couldn't figure what I could do with 3 or 4.

BTW, how does the throttle down on the CPU effect the charging rate when the screen is off? Will this eliminate the "bump" charging?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
Is wiping your dalvik cache REALLY a must prior to flashing a new kernal?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bjmarler:
Previously Lou said that it was not necessary if you are just switching between one of his kernals. If switching from someone else to one of his, I don't know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Wiping the dalvik cache takes less than a minute, so it's not a big deal at all. Better to just take the extra minute and maybe avoid a headache later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
I ask because the only other time I wiped the dalvik cache my sd card blew up because of it. Dont know how it caused it, but it did. I had no r/w ability and it wouldnt stay mounted to my phone or laptop. I lost a bunch of data and had to send the card back to the manufacturer to have it replaced. Needless to say i've never done a dalvik wipe since then
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmdied:
Sorry if this has been asked but has Lou's 8 or 9 Ben tested with Virtuous rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Wow that sounds really random, I understand why you would be scared of having the sd card wiped but I've never really heard of that happen. I would bet that was a freak happening though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
I was HOPING that it was a one time fail BUT i'm too logical for that so i'm paranoid and thinking that I did something to create the issue and WHAT IF I again reproduce those circumstances (because of whatever manner it is that I use my phone) and kill my SD for the second time. I'd kill something with frustration -___- lol

I dont know how it is that these 2 things can relate to each other and searching endlessly has lead me to believe I'm probably the ONLY one it's happened too. Luckily Transcend has a lifetime warranty to replace their cards. HIGHLY recommend them haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Alright so I'm rather noob-ish to kernels, but from understanding they control bluetooth. So therefore is there anyway for us to get a full bluetooth stack or are there hardware restriction with this as well?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stevez48:
I also have a question... does the kernel also control gps? 9 is having trouble locking in to my gps... anyone else?

EDIT: Never mind, one reboot later and all is good so far...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Goodluck if you decide to wipe the dalvik with the new card. I know I will even though I'll probably have your story in the back of my mind hahah.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
I just wiped dalvik yesterday with cache and data before I flashed Warm TwoPointTwo and everything went fine. IDK what kind of freak situation I created to have my card blow up the first time but I'm hoping it was a one time thing lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
I'm running this Kernel with Incredible Re-Engineered and its AMAZING. I get 1500-1600 Quadrant speeds at STOCK with NO OVERCLOCKING and the whole interface is INSTANT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Good to hear! Hope its smooth sailing from now on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JerseyFF:
If you are looking for a small upgrade without getting a different battery cover, Seidio has a 1750mAh extended battery that fits in perfectly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
The Seido battery is around $40. You can get a genuine HTC 1500 battery--originally for the EVO but fits the DInc perfectly--for around $20. I've had really good luck with it--have two of them and swap back and forth. Two of these cost the same as one Seido.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
Thanks for both responses on the battery, I will check into both, is the stock 1250?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
Stock battery is 1300 mAh.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbrits:
Just to thrown in a third option, I've been using the Chichitec/HTC Express 1800mAh battery since December and I love it. It's slightly thicker than the stock battery, so the battery cover may fit a bit more snug. The performance is great. I'm running Redemption 2.3 and Lou's #8 kernel and depending upon my use, I can easily get 15-20 hours out of my phone on a single charge. Just to keep things in perspective, on the 15 hour days I usually watch an hour's worth of YouTube videos and listen to Pandora over 3G while at the gym, along with a liberal amount Internet browsing. This is in addition to the moderate amount of texting and emailing that occurs on a daily basis. Not bad for a $20 battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
Does the battery have temp sensing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbrits:
That I don't know. I've never had an issue with the battery overheating though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
I've been using this same 1800 mAh battery by ChicChic bought on Amazon for about 3 weeks now. It fits fine and is giving me great battery life. Now with about 4 hours of awake time using it for GPS tracking every morning for an hour along with Power Amp music player, several phone calls, internet time, 30 - 60 minutes of reading, it is still at about 40% when I hit the sac at midnight--an up time of about 15 hours.

This is also without a bump charge.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
Thanks for all the battery options...I think maybe I will try that chichitec 1800 out...cuz the stock just doesn't make the day without a bump charge.!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DerekWest:
I keep getting exec format error when trying to insmod...cifs.ko. I've tried all of your kernels from this thread to no avail. Love the battery life, but sure would love cofs manager too. I've read a couple of posts of folks getting it to work... Any help would be hot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spin0ut:
I bought 2 of those on eBay and very happy I did. 2 1800 batteries with an external charger for 12 bucks and each battery last me a full day with pretty heavy use. Same guy sells em for cheaper on eBay. That plus lous kernel and you should get much greater barlttery life
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Keyboards:
Will there be a "Close to the Edge" or "Roundabout"?? :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thisguy23:
Hey Lou any chance of getting fast charge??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
What is your definition of fast? These charge stock battery in about 1.5 - 2.0 hours.

Do these work on the warm 2.2 Z rom?

Sent from my Virtuous Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Graydon1:
I don't beleive so. If i remember right Z roms are AOSP which Lou's kernel won't work on. Correct me if i'm wrong.

As for the kernel, i've been experiencing the "Hiccup" on wakeup that has been discussed before. It's not really a big concern, but could we pretty please get a fix on any new version, or at least the ability to use setcpu? I'm not trying to be a pain, just constructive critism. Other than that concern, it's been awesome for me. Thanks alot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] qumahlin:
Yup, they work fine in Z roms
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kid_Cudi:
So do any off these have the fast charge? Currently running #8 and half hour only netted me 5% charge. Stock kernel would have gave me 15-20% in 30 mins.

Is there any know patches/fixes to get multi touch working with #8?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
So far, you need to run #7 (or the other multi-touch kernels) if you want multi-touch. There are requests in the thread for the features of #8 with multi-touch (I know because I asked....), but Lou hasn't released a kernel yet that does that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hachamacha:
Does this kernel support rndis for wired tether? I'd like to try it but would like to know this first as well as my follow-up ipv6 question.

While I'm asking things: I'm also wondering if the kernel support ipv6? So is there either ipv6.ko or is it configured or linked into the kernel? I'd like to use ipv6 via 3g if possible on the inc.

Thanks, Hashi.

PS: I have a feeling I asked this before in some thread, and apologies if it was this one. I'm not sure I got an answer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Q0596:
CM 6.1?

So I am new to this whole world of rooting and setting custom kernels and ROMs and what not...loving every second of it. I am running Cyanogenmod 6.1 with the stock kernel and my battery life blows. I'd like to set the Lou kernel - will it work? Are there any specific settings I need to be aware of before I update the kernel? TIA-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] grazzhoppa50:
these only work on sense roms. Cyanogen is AOSP meaning you have to use AOSP kernels.

Either switch to a sense rom and then flash one of these or you could always give cyanogen 7 a shot if you like that.
