WiFi Keep Alive and Vegan Tab Slow Down?

All;

So I don't know if this is linked or not, but I had been running Beta 3 of VEGAn for a number of days last week (since Monday 12/13) with no slowdown problems at all. This means when I'd wake up my tablet everything seemed to be running normally.

I had been following the discussion on the WiFi Keep Alive work around, but had not tried it. Then on Thursday night (12/16) I decided to give it a shot and installed the WiFi Keep alive app, selected options 3 and 4 (as described here), and went on my merry way.

It's at this point that I think I started to see the slow down after the device sleeps problem. So this morning, I removed the WiFi Keep Alive app, and restarted my device. I generally get about a 2225 Quadrant Score, so I ran that and tested, and got around the same number. All seems normal so far.

I left the GTab unplugged and went off to do some additional stuff for the day. I just got back and fired up my GTab. Ran Quadrant and I'm getting in the 2225 range now. This is after about 3-4 hours away from the device.

I don't know if this helps anyone but seems suspicious so I thought I'd report it. I'll keep an eye on things and let you know.

Again, thanks for all the work everyone is doing. I'm just trying to help out.

Jon :)

Slowdown problem is there even without the keepalive app. It goes way back and spans various roms.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
2048/0 is all I have ever used. No problems.
[G Tablet Android Development] theimpaler747:
Closing as this is retired, please see here for the new build :D
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
I tried it. Didn't work. I then checked md5sum on files. Mine were the same.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
We didn't to this for alpha2, as it actually adds a borked phone icon when I do this. But it's something to think about for the next build.

I thought these builds had some logic where it knew it wasn't a phone?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Mine definitely was using a large amount of battery trying to find a cell service. I removed both phone and telephony and also got the icon in the status bar. I will look at what the best way to remove that is, so we can gut cell from it.

In the meantime, people can live with the icon, or enable airplane mode, and THEN enable wifi. This will disable the cell portion.

I'll also talk to the zpad guys to see if they know how cell is removed from their ROM for the wifi only users.
[G Tablet Android Development] acuralegendz:
I enabled airplane then disabled airplane and icon was gone. Just restarted and it was back but is gone untill restart
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
Is the alpha 2 link borked or just over loaded ? :D
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Might be overloaded - I'll add another link.
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
Hi Rothnic,

We are actually adding the 3g service to it.

One of the guy in our group flashed this ( only the system.img and a boot.img from Xiaolu) and we got it running on the 1202 partition without any problem.

On our 3G unit, it actually shown the signal on the signal icon.

The guy then try the HiAPN to put in the sitting for 3G and it works.

I will try it myself later on to verify it.
[G Tablet Android Development] LTL11:
Wow, you guys possibly have 3g working on the tab?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
No, they are working with Zpads which are the Gtablet's more capable cousin. He means they have it working with this advent vega build.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Wipe everything for alpha2?

I usually do this anyway, but just curious now -- has enough changed for alpha2 that we should wipe all data and start from scratch, or is it OK to overlay this on top of the old one and just wipe the cache?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
The problem we have is using this on our Wifi only units. The cell standby uses a lot of battery because it never finds a signal(since there is no cell radio).

Do you know what we need to remove to disable all the cell radio services? Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk seem to do just that, but then the Cell icon in the status bar appears(showing no signal).
[G Tablet Android Development] LTL11:
Gotcha, thought that was a little to amazing. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
It would be nice if this ROM supported usb 3G modems. Then I'd be able to replace my netbook while traveling.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I just tried it with my current user data, and it seems to work. You could always try that first and then wipe if you have problems.
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
hmm....I will ask Xiaolu to see if he has any idea on this.

Edit:

I just talked to Xiaolu, he compared the files in the 1125 ROM on the 3g and non 3g version.

It seems that framwork.jar, service.jar and framework-res.apk are different sizes.

for the other doc., the CRC is different but the size is the same.

Hope this can help you
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Same here

I decided to do the same thing in the spirit of "adventure". Seems good so far. I have not been using an external SD card yet, but I expect to try that soon for important pictures from my DSLR camera.
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
On the ZPAD ROM, it seems to have two different driver for 3G PCIe card now because the manufacturer seems to change the supplier on this card.

One of them may be a Acartel chipset and the other is Sony Ericsson.

I am not sure if you can find USB 3G modem which uses these chipset, but then again, they have different model to put it in the mix.

Let me try to find out the Sony model.
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
I can tell that my Verizon usb modem is identified and the driver is loaded, cdc_acm. An entry is created in /dev for ttyACM0.
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
Does it work?

If that is just the APN setting which needed to be defined, you can try the HiAPN app
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
I will not have a chance to load alpha2 until tonight.
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
hahaha....good luck..
[G Tablet Android Development] dimond25:
HD video playback

Has anyone tried HD videos? Any better or worse then Zpad ROM?
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Launcher crash, Angry Birds flakyness

Twice in a row now. Tablet has been sitting idle with alpha2 for about an hour. Just tried to launch angry birds, and got a force close on the launcher app (launcher2). After that, it looked like Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons had vanished. I did a reboot, and afterwords all appeared to be back to normal. But again, launching AB or ABS force closes the launcher, and something happens to the AB apps -- they are not gone, but the icons have been "reset" to generic Android icons, and they are listed with long package names now (com.rovio.ka3d.app) instead of the normal app names.

Other apps appear to work fine, but I can't launch either AB or ABS.

EDIT: Aha, I've got 5 apps behaving like this, and they are the 5 apps installed on the SDCard of my device. I'm not even sure WHY they are on the sd card, but that seems to be the common criteria.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Tron 1080p trailer plays fine (it's h264 main profile).

AB runs just fine for me (unfortunately).
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Just noticed they are on the SD card

Just noticed I have 5 apps failing like this, and they are all on the built-in SD card. Everything else I have is not.

I can't say if I ran any of these 5 successfully since installing alpha2, but I know I ran AB with alpha1.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Might be the vold change for SDCARD2 (microSD). I tested it assuming a microSD was present, keep in mind. and its definitely a hack.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
OK, well if I don't find anything before tonight, I plan to get a new micro-sd this evening and I can tell you if that makes any difference.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Probably same root issue as with 2.03. Storage issue due to no dual storage in Advent rom, since no internal storage.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Alpha 3 being tested

Missed some recent changes that didn't make it to alpha 2. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
yeah, I need to get ahold of that non 3g version
[G Tablet Android Development] NMCBR600:
Loaded alpha 2 and tried my USB Demand modem. It's shows up in dmesg but not in under wireless devices in settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
my air card has never worked, even though I can see it in dmesg. Tried pppd and got an error about the kernel not supporting pppd.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
y did you take out es file manager?

any way to make the status bar home and black "click" like the menu one?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Pulled out estrongs as that's not in the Vega build. They have a file manager of their own, or you can add one via the Market.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
I didnt have flash wen I flashed the 2nd alpha but I installed it and its working as does angry birds
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Any plan to get SSL fixed? Just wondering as I am really enjoying this build.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
No difference with add-on microSD

OK, I added a microSD and THAT works (I can browse/use files on the new sd card.) However, it makes no difference as to the previous problems with apps on the internal SD card.
[G Tablet Android Development] landykos:
So after a few mins of playing around with alpha 3 i'm very impressed with this build. I didn't try alpha 1 or 2. I'm coming from TnT 2.2.0 and did a full wipe of everything.

Some things I've seen so far.

Lock screen can be unclocked by just using the softkeys.

Multi-touch is awful in every app I've tried so far.

Market issues seem to be the same.

Seems I only have 1.6 gigs of internal memory not 16.

I see 16 gigs for external

great work. I love having the default android settings easy keyboard swapping and the normal pull down notification drawer.

Thanks for all ur work everyone keep it up!

[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I downloaded a3, but shows a2 in setting and status.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
dont know if u already did but you should update the youtube and voice search app for the build...they where updated today

EDIT:apps not updated but I did install them. and the build it very solid so far and fast
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
That's my bad - I built out a3 so fast that I left a2 in the build.prop. Will make a note of it for the next build.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
No you are fine. No need for apology. Just wanted to make sure if I am not seeing things.
[G Tablet Android Development] RNSlate:
Just when I thought I was out...You pull me back in. I really like this one, and it seems very fast.... Great job.:D
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Anyone else having trouble getting the market to work? I did the market fix twice, wiped data again because I thought something wasny syncing properly and did the fix again and I still cant find the apps I was getting before. Matter of fact about 99.99% of anything I look for doesnt show up. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Worked on the first shot for me (with Titanium Backup, of course). Is the market still crippled or are you just missing specific apps?
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
It shows about 10 apps, everything I search for isn't there. And when I say everything I mean I have yet to search for and find an app I was looking for. It shows about 5 of the apps I purchased under downloads.

I have wiped data in settings and also using titanium backup. Neither worked. ???

Also if I press home in the market it says, no matching content in android market.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Don't wipe market data, just the cache

It took me several tries (not using the titanium method) to get the market working on alpha1. What I found is that after stopping the market app, just clear

the cache but don't clear the data itself. I was using clear cache and data at first, and it never worked.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Thanks I'll give it a shot
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The TB method has worked for me every time, just one reboot needed.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Ok apparently the 800th time is the charm. Finally got the market working. Wish I could tell you how I did it but I just kept doing the fix over and over. The only difference the last time around was that I didnt click on the ok after getting the market error I immediately hit the power button and powered down. Who knows, at least it works. Thanks guys.
[G Tablet Android Development] hester5816:
This has by far been the best rom I've used, used tnt cygen zpad. This is my favorite just need the SSL fixed and it will be jammin
[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
I think running TiBackup to restore some apps (and the apps market link) then doing the market fix is what worked for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] The Ringmaster:
notifications (or how stock is this?)

I am currently using tnt lite 2.2 and am sort of getting tired of that yellow notification button that shows up at times. I know that it apart of the greater tapntap interface though and not by roebeet's design.

I was just wondering how notifications and things along this line work in the Vegan Mod.. thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Stock Android/Froyo notification behavior

The vegan rom gives you stock behavior for notifications; icons stack across the top bar and you drag down to expose a list containing the details, with a clear button to dismiss.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
If you have an Android phone its the same way. Comes from a drop down notification bar that you drag down with your finger.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
You do not mind the vanishing app and problematic microsd2 issues? Not being a smart a**, but just interested in perspective.

Seems the efforts will be good to set a path for 2.3, since AV is getting that very soon.

If the noted issues were fixed, this would be a nice option :)
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
haven't had either of these issues "Yet" lol. if ssl gets fixed this has a ton of potential :)

Still really curious about the VS update on the 20th :D
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Was running this last night and the whole device shut down on me. I was using XScope messing with flash and playing a game and complete crash. Wouldnt let me power the thing back on either. Finally after about 3 minutes it let me power back on. Scary three minutes though I thought the Tab was toast.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I haven't seen any vanishing apps either. I strongly suspect that that issue is only occurring for people who have an external SD card on the /sdcard2 partition, as it sounds like those people are having several issues with this ROM still.

However, the browser crashes are maddening. And not just on SSL either. On a ton of sites for me (still on alpha 1, going to reflash alpha3 later today and see if any difference).
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
That is apparently the point. Since AV does not have dual storage, anything related (or tries to) to microsd2 tends to get hosed. Until a rom is able to be stable with microsd and microsd2, these roms will be problematic.

Seems the issues with 2.03 are the same issues with this rom. Angry Birds and others can vanish and sudden crashes of apps that also impact the system.

Shame the AV does not have the same storage set-up as the Gtablet and zPad. Augmenting the AV rom for Gtablet use would be easier and a lot more stable sans the other hardware features AV has too, of course.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Ok so im on stock rom rooted with andomedia kernal so i can have mobile ap.

I delete the system updater apk to avoid update msgs however, at night it constantly resets my radio and at other times it does too.

It says that this is a side effect of removing this? on the safe guide to remove apks.

Anyway i can disable these update notifications? CAuse i already am up to date on d118?

Please its driving me nuts.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I can't remember where it is - search in the CDMA Hero threads. but esentially rename otacerts.xml
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxd:
What I have done so far:

1) setup cross compiling

2) downloaded the HTC-provided kernel source

3) wrote my own lkm & Makefile

4) grabbed .config from /proc/config.gz off the phone

The problem though is that the distributed HTC kernel is only the source and it doesn't have the compiled files used in the kernel module building processing. It also doesn't have the autoconf files are shown here in the make error:

" ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.

include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.

Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."

So I am wondering, do I have to compile my own kernel in order to be able to compile modules or is there someway to make it work with the stock HTC kernel? Loadable modules are enabled in the stock kernel, but unless I am missing something I don't see how you can actually compile modules for it.

Thanks for any help, and I am very experienced with kernel development (on Intel) so feel free to provide any technical details.

Hi to all indians...

I need all your support to make best custom roms for our

Indian froyo (DDJP6).............

So please let us help each other all!!!
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
First of all, sorry for my bad english ...

.. a few days ago, i have rooted my wildfire (Unrevoked 3.21), ...that was okay, no problem was:)

... after that i have the superuser thing ... so i have installed setcpu 2.0.4.

After this, i flashed HCDR.Jacob's kernel...

At the first time, a lots of popup window came, but no force close, or other error message ... i thing its working

i created the profiles like this:

- main: 768 max, 122 min

- Screen off: 245 max, 122 min

- Temp: 518 max, 122 min at 50 Celsius degree

- Battery: 576 max, 122 min

- Charging, Full: like main

Everything in Ondemand ...

After this setting, not alwasy, sometimes, when the screen is off and i have an incoming call, the screen is a little bit yellowy ... like old tv-s?!

Is it possible, the high cpu framerate can glitch the screen colors?!

Should i set lower cpu rate, in main and charching profiles?!

I cant understand, becasuse when the screen is off, the cpu is running on 245 ... this isn't so high ... also maybe a little low

Any ideas, or common "yellow effects"?

And another thing .. do i need perflock disabler to HCDR.Jacob's kernel??

thx

Lazlo
[Wildfire General] wockawocka:
It's a known problem, just set you screen off profile to 325 max, 245 min. this fixes it
[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
I can confirm this bug. I been wondering myself what was happening but couldn't be assed to investigate. I just figured its a ROM problem, I use OpenFire, but apparently its not..

EDIT: Post above wasnt posted when posting this.. Did you mean 352 or 325mhz, Wockawocka?
[Wildfire General] wockawocka:
Mine is set to 352 I can't select 325mhz. please find attacted a copy of my profile backup. Extract file to your SD cards root and restore profile from setCPU
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
thank you wockawocka your attachment :P i restored it to setcpu ... and i will test it for few days ... and will report what happened

i didn't know this yellowy screen is a known problem

and another thing,.. do i need perflock disabler with the HCDR.Jacob's kernel??

i haven't enabled it yet

thx again

cheers

lazlo
[Wildfire General] wockawocka:
I don't know, I've not selected it... you could try the following that I found in another post..

HOWTO:

Open SetCPU and give it root permissions as necessary. As a control, go into the Info tab and do the Long Bench a few times. You should get around 1000ms.

Go to the Main tab, hit MENU, hit Perflock Disabler (read the warning!), and hit Disable Perflock Beta: May crash!

It will work for a while, and then say it's successful. You can then click the X on the top right to exit the Perflock Disabler.

Go into the Main tab and drag Max: all the way down to 122000 (122Mhz). Make sure the green xxx max xxx min label above the sliders show 122 for both and also disable any Profiles you've set. Go to Info tab, then hit Long Bench again. This time you'll get something ridiculous like 5000ms, meaning that the Perflock Disabler has worked!

Change your settings Profile tab to something similar to my settings. You can mess around with the Battery < xx% profiles to fit your needs. Your exact Profile priorities do not matter, it's only important that some have HIGHER priority than others. On the Main tab, set Max all the way to the right (710000) and Min all the way to the left (122000), Scaling to ondemand, and check Set on Boot. Do not check Set on Boot yet if you're the super careful kind. You can check it later when you've tested that your phone isn't crashing - I've edited some of the above to make it look right for the Wildfire, was copied from Evo post
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
okay, i tested the perflock disabler post .... but nothing happened ... i tried to enable it, but it said "You can't, there is no perflock" or something like that ....

by the way ... with your profiles, its workin, no yellow screen, so i'm happy .... and i'll leave it alone ... and it looks like the battery and setcpu is a good friend too :)
