Just tried Lou's #6 on a recommendation but was unable to unlock the screen after flashing it. Screen was completely unresponsive.

Using Virtuous 3.2 with AMOLED

Just flashed #4 and it seems to work fine.

Video missing

I have a strange problem and i'm not sure why this happened. My signature shows what I'm running. I have Vignette camera. When I click on the video camera link, nothing happens. I looked under /system and found the original htc camera apk and clicked on it, but it wouldn't install. I might have deleted the native camera at some time in the past, but I'm not sure. I read on another forum that the kernel might have some effect on the camera. Is there anyway I could get the video camera back? Do I need to reflash something? Thanks for any help in how to fix this or guidance in how to research this.

I went back to the htc camer apk using Root Explorer and checked the permissions. They are set at rw--r--r. So at least that part is corrrect. Is there a separate apk for the video? I still don't see the original htc camera icon in Launcher Pro nor in the HTC launcher. I'm stumped.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Luke-W:
Problem solved! I'm a victim of too many choices. I found that I had frozen the camera program using Titanium backup. Duh. When I defrosted it, the video link worked.

Sorry for the unnecessary inquiry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] parkson:
LOL this is more common than people will admit. If Android "fragmentation" weren't bad enough, all the differences in rom, kernel, radio, and hboot combinations can cause even more confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pangguang1:
you should update or downdate your clockwork recovery. especially ,you use recovery2.5.1.2. i had the same problem ,but i solve it now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EricS96521:
I just installed #6 and now my touch screen doesn't work. I can't unlock the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
#6 does not work on all phones because it has the multi-touch "feature." To some handsets that's a bug. There does not appear to be any pattern to which handsets are okay and which are not, which will see all 10 points, which only 2 or 3. You need to drop back to #5 or #4 if you don't care about the BFS scheduler.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
So will the touch tracker in dev tools be sufficient to make sure I have the multi-touch "feature"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Nice update. Can't wait to try it on the new Senseless.

Nice read on BFQ, too. I might have to try that one out in my kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
I'm running BFQ on my desktop in conjunction with BFS and the benchmarks are pretty impressive
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
The #7 kernel seems fast so far.

Will give real world updates tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] titans808:
Great kernel. After loading up all my apps and filling my screens, the sense screen swiping wasn't as fast as it used to be. Now its slick as ever, performance seems to be just as good if not better than your other kernels (and other devs kernels) and so far battery life seems to be on par.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Sounds great! Are you using the newest #7 ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
Awesome! I just downloaded and loading on my device. Any updates as to when we can see RR 2.2 to go with the new kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] savagebunny:
Flashing #7 on my Incredible now. :)

Got a nice boost in Quadrant, 1315 now with Redemptive rEVO 2.1.3.

Had 1128 with #6 and 1178 with #5

had to do another edit, everything seems a lot more responsive now than it normally was. I had #6 on for some time and I loaded #5 2 days ago and that was better with BFS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jrv331:
I cleared my devlink and installed #7. After my phone restarted my start up screen froze and I could not unlock it. Pressing the power button blanked the screen but would not restart the phone, had to do a battery pull.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
How long did you give it? It always takes a few minutes for the device to load to the homescreen after a kernel install. Just let it do its thing. If after 10 minutes still nothing, then there is something wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] savagebunny:
Actually, everytime I forgot to wipe the cache, and I still haven't had any issues yet.

<3 Nandroid backups
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jrv331:
I tried loading it twice, thr first time I gave it about 10 mimutes. The second time I gave it anout half an hour, still no go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
Always good to make it a habit to wipe dalvik, just in case.

Yeah shouldnt take that long.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] savagebunny:
Ya I know, I always forget to wipe the cache. Haven't had any backlash from it yet, thank god.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
Quick question: what's the preferred method for clearing Dalvik? I've been using the utility in Titanium but that never seems to find any files to clear.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trapshooter37:
What all do I need to wipe prior to this install? Just the davlik cache? I want to make sure I do this right.

Just an FYI, I have been running the #6 kernel since it's release and haven't seen too much in boost in battery. Actually it seems it has gotten worse. I am also running Redemption Rom 2.3.

Thanks for all your help

Travis
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
Look under Advanced in CWM Recovery screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yardi4life:
Thanks for your work on the kernel.

BTW,

I see its been asked, but no answers.

Do you plan on adding the GPU+ update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
Does #7 implement the multitouch add-on that's in #6? My phone will boot just five but my touch screen is runaround with 7..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
No multi-touch..... it is based on #4 not number #6.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dspcap:
I just loaded #4 last night and the performance is amazing.... On to #7.

Edit: Loaded quickly and with no issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
This is incorrect... it has 10 finger multitouch.

@HeyItsLou: you should probably clean up the first post... because it is kinda confusing now that you added so many features lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] howarmat:
i dont think it does?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
Running 2.1.3 w/ Lou's #4, tried Lou's #6 and #7 both which leave me with non-working touch screen, I wiped dalvik on both installs, anyone seeing this on both #6, #7 also? No probs with #4...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
I dont think he has updated it properly because i just opened the multitouch app and put all my fingers on the screen. So unless it was a fluke i dunno.

Could be the fact that I flashed #7 over #6... LOL not gunna reflash to test
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kpowers:
Just downloaded multi touch tester and I was able to get it to recognize 10 points with kernel 7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
So in layman's terms what does "BFQ I/O Scheduler" provide/change for the latest kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dspcap:
What does that mean? Please explain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
well if kpowers didnt have kernal #6 before he ran the update that for sure means #7 also includes 3-10 finger multi-touch. (that is the phone will actually recognize all ten figures when touching the screen)

He is not explaining what BFQ is... to be honest I dont even know how to explain it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Uh, yeah, actually, he *does* explain what BFQ is up in post #1 where he writes:

"Kernel #7 is based on #4 *NEW* in #7 is the BFQ I/O scheduler more on BFQ here http://goo.gl/DM2ut."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JagoX:
Missed that...my bad :D Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kpowers:
I just placed all my fingers on my touch screen to see if multi touch tester would recognize the input. Also, I was running Chad's incredikernel before flashing #6.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kiyanofosho:
anyone try this one sky raider 3.5 yet? if so, how is its performance?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boogerboy72:
will these run on your sensless revolution?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
It's sense, so yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boogerboy72:
awesome, flashing now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Just FYI I may have used my sources that contains the multi touch patch for #7 I'm not at home to confirm. If this is the case I will recompile a #8 from my #4 sources without the multi-touch patch with BFQ I/O scheduler and update the thread a.s.a.p.

Thanks....Lou
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Multitouch: Might not be the kernel, yours or anyone else's

Hey, Lou, check out this link here on XDA Developers.

It seems Chad0989 has theorized that the problem with multi-touch isn't the kernel being used but rather the recovery on the handset. He has provided an alternate recovery and is inviting testers to load that recovery, then flash *any* multi-touch kernel to their Incredibles (Incredible only, folks) and then report how many touch points they get.

I expect this would also address any of your users who have issues with #6 or beyond.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
I have tried this supposed fix, no luck...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ikenny00:
I do it from recovery under advanced
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
LOl i was referring to this post:

-----------------------

I thought that poster was asking if the touch about multitouch had to do with bfq and misread lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] p880782:
thanks a lot,DL to try
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
weird -.- my battery hasn't gone down from 100% yet, usually im at 99 within first 5 minutes. LOL guess that's a good thing, thanks for the awesome kernels heyitslou! i wonder if this kernel has any sleep of death issues.......i'll report back after i test run this rom till my battery dies
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mik0r:
It must have the multitouch patch cause I cant unlock the phone, the touch screen is completely unresponsive like on #6. I'll have to wait for #8, :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
#8 is live and I did not include the Multi-Touch patch for the devices that can't handle it. I've also added a few tweaks and this kernel benchmarks amazing for stock speed without loosing it's "smoothness" I like it a lot definitely give #8 a try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mik0r:
Just flashed it a couple mins ago, working fine so far, :o

Now waiting on Redemptive Revolution 2.2, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iflip:
Anyone using #8 with mynswarm2.2? Lemme know something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
just flashed it. Everything is working great.

Will monitor battery usage and report back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
#7 Worked fine for my phone.... the tweaks you mentioned are only for #8? Would you recomend flashing to that instead?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wackwad:
Yeah, I am with RL5.3 - Its so much faster when you go to settings => manage apps => all Apps. Great job, Lou!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
I personally don't need the 3-10 multi-touch and I have noticed a big increase as far as the benchmarks are concerned in #8 I hit 1400 in quadrant at stock speed and I haven't sacrificed the "smoothness" of the Rom at all so to me it's worth flashing #8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Flashing #8 with Skyraider Athena; looking forward to test driving this kernal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ikenny00:
flashed #8 on Warm Z Beta3. working great. very smooth
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
Hit me. What's the deal with INCrom and number 8 fellas
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dosiris:
Thank you very much Lou. You are the toppest kernal hacker.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] metal4all6:
Thanks! #8 seems to be running great on my phone with Virtuous 3.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blindsight4ever:
#8 works great! No hiccups so far. Lou is the man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
just hit a 1521 quadrant score on #7! could hardly get past a 1350 on #6 to compare with.. Great work Lou your kernels are so smooth, work perfect on my inc compared to ziggy's that most devs pair with their roms.. I end up switching it right away cuz of all the lag, which I never seem to have on yours. Thanks for all your hard work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
Same with me. Also not strong the battery lose improvements everyone is talking about :( when my mobile data is on it's as if my battery is TRYING to die.. Wish I could run #6 or #7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
Tried #8. Works but my quadrant score broke 1000 one out of five times ); I think I'm going to have to go back to #5
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Make sure you have USB debugging turned off it will impact your score a lot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] umphreak:
Currently running myn's warm two point two rls4 and was thinking about trying one of these, but am unsure which one. I am very new to flashing different kernels. Thanks for the help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bomber889:
#8 if the same as #7 is awesome. Actually, all these kernels are fantastic and have great battery life and performance. Thanks a lot!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dosiris:
#8 gets 1373 with warm Z rom. I will try #7 to see whether I can get 15xx...

update: #7 yields 1302 though in fact I feel that the scrolling of menu is smoother.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] afgeoff2010:
I just hit 1445 with Incredibly Re-Engineered and #8! :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elrui:
Hitting around 1200-1300 with Athena + #8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ikenny00:
#8 Warm Z ... just hit 1513
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
#8 is working great on my amoled incredible with Virtuous 3.2 and the newly leaked EVO 11.19 baseband (see official radio thread). Be patient with first reboot--took an few minutes. I've had better performance and battery life using SetCPU with this and the prior HIL kernels. I tweaked the screen off profiles a little to prevent choppy performance. For some reason, battery life improves, too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CdDiva28:
So I definitely noticed the quick load of the applications under "manage applications" and also noted that the benchmark was around 1200 compared to the 1400+ I was getting with the kernel in the latest realse of Warm TwopointTwo. Will continue to test! So far so good, thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:
Exactly what I got with Warm Z.

sent from my Incredible using Tapa Talk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sabbotage:
Just got 1365 on stock deodexed rom with #8 and was only getting around 1190 to 1210 on #7 so I'm gonna stick with #8 :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
How many fingers can you fit on your 3 1/2" screen??

Yo, Lou, completely agree about the multi-touch thing. Was talking with some folks yesterday about the "most" number of touch points they could envision using on a screen as small as an Incredible, and most concurred that 4 makes about as much sense as possible. (Many were users of touchpads which interface with a laptop or full size computer screen.)

I don't think I can even fit all 10 fingers on the screen without getting a hand cramp.

Anyway, looking forward to jumping to #8 from #4. It seems like a simple explanation for the benefits of BFQ is that it speeds up access to storage media.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mp3sum:
Any valid reason for not including GPU+?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 999vulcan:
Those quandrant scores you guys are referring to - are you getting these results on first run after reboot or on consequent ones?

There's a big jump from 1st to second run, probably due to some caching, so I'd say, only the first result after reboot really matters.

I get 1100ish-1200ish after reboot and 1300ish-1400ish on consequent runs.

(Compared to 1000-ish/1200ish with kernel #4)

Another option to get a fresh reading is to terminate the quadrant app - that seems to bring results back to 1200ish for the next run. :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Loaded #8 without a problem over #4 on Virtuous 3.2.

Quadrant was 1162 first time. Shut off the unit and re-ran, got 1191.

BTW, still getting the goofy "batty drop", in the first few minues, but I expect battery life otherwise to be at least the same. Wondering whether I should put the stock battery back in to see whether I get the same phenomenon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jrv331:
The battery drop is a known HTC issue. Unless you bump charge its always gonna happen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I always bump charge. I actually think it's the battery. I had cleared battery stats and that didn't make a difference either. Gonna switch to stock and see if I see a difference. The problem isn't with battery life, it's with the system accurately reporting battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Huppert1978:
Running Redemptive ROM 2.1.3. Flashed over kernel #4 no prob. Didn't wipe the Dalvik cache. The touch responsiveness seems much more snappy and everything seems to be running smoother in general. Not much change in battey life, seems about normal wo far today. You da man, Lou!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Docarut:
Lou-thanks for the continuing work on the kernels. With the first multi-touch kernel my screen was non-responsive so I jumped straight to #8. Out of curiosity I then tried #7 and screen works fine.

Thank you!

Doc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
I'm currently running Ziggy's latest and loving it. Can anyone that's tried both say how they compare?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blastthenoise:
I had been running ziggy's on every rom I've had, since KK's kernels basically shat out on me after 40hrs of up time and lag. I had been switching between ziggy's 12/19 and #4 for a while and they were comparable. Flashed #8 this morning and I cant believe how snappy everything runs. I havent had smooth scrolling in handcent since I wiped my texts (I keep around 5000+ so its my own fault). So far so good, battery is holding up fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
running #8 on SR3.5, gonna try it for a couple days see how it is. I was using the stock SR kernel then switched to hydra OC but batt was getting killed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokedroid:
This is my set up and I'm seeing better than stock results but sadly, not by a whole lot. Quadrant scores are below what others r posting [with #4 and #8] and the battery (with mobile data off 24/7, wifi on instead, and a1750mAh battery) is giving me about 11-13 hours when I was on #4. So far, #8 seems to be very similar. I'm hoping a second charge with this kernel will spark improvement, but I don't know how much, if anything, that will do. Will report back, and thanks lou!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bullhead00:
I flashed the #7 kernel on rEVO 2.1.2 this morning. Don't have anything to say about battery life yet but it took my quadrant score from 1132 to 1353! I don't really pay attention to battery life much though since I have the Seidio 3500 mAh lol. Scrolling seems a lot smoother and overall performance is better. Thanks Lou!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tom Kellogg:
Flashed Lou #8, from #4 a few hours ago. The process sure is a lot faster than a full ROM flash. Lou is a hero. So how does he find the time to keep doing this and how do we contribute to keep him smoking along?

I do have a Newb's question; When I flashed Redemption 2.3, did I also flash a new kernel or did the stock HTC kernel just stay from the factory install? What I am trying to understand is, is there a complete separation of the Kernel from a ROM like Redemption? When I flashed Lou's #8 kernel a while ago, did it have any effect on Redemption or do the two things not effect each other in memory? Is their code intermixed or separate? I didn't make that very clear. I hope that it's clear enough for someone to answer. Thank you all for the great work you are doing. Can't imagine that Apple would ever allow this sort of thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
You can donate to him, check out his profile page or I believe he has a donate link in his sig as well. Flashing the new kernel obviously replaces the stock, or one that comes built into the ROM. This doesnt have a negative affect on the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] toosurreal01:
Tried to install #8 on top of Warm 2.2 RSL5 and it bootlooped.

Tried to recover and it still bootlooped, so I flashed Senseless back on my phone to get up and running til I get home tonight.

I might flash #8 over senseless to see what speed increases I see.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
I was enjoying MW2.2 but all of the 5 series gave me trouble no matter what I did. So far SR Athena has been nice and smooth, especially with this kernal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csseale:
Lou must be a YES man....not so much of a no man huh.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
I also flashed over Warm RLS5.3, but no bootloops.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I've read so much about Quadrant scores that I do have to toss this out...

In my experience, the higher the score, the greater the battery drain. Quadrant scores also, while they certainly are fun, aren't quite accurate at grading the phone's overall functionality and smoothness. It just doesn't really portray the capabilities of the soft/hardware interaction and all that it's able to do in an accurate manner.

Take, for instance, the All Apps page under Settings. That is something completely amazing that this kernel provides; the speed of it really is great. You would never be able to read that from a Quadrant score though.

I think I'm just trying to say that people shouldn't really depend on Quadrant scores so much. They're not really all that useful.

I'm a romwhore, and I'm damn proud of it.
