Thanks to all developers

I want to thank all the developers who are working on the XDAndroid project! You all did a wonderfull job!

Yesterday I installed the FRX03 release with the latest 1250 kernel on Topaz

This is my experience with this kernel:

- I looks that it takes a few hours to get some speed. First it was very slow, but now it is better (but I think the version july 2010 felt quicker, but that one had more problems)

- I make and receive without problems call. The sound is good, great!

- Most of the time waking up is no problem, but sometimes I have to try a couple of times using the upper button.

- Apps with use 3D are flickering and not very nice

- Battery drain is much better, and really workable

But over all, I really like this build, and try to keep using it.

Camera support will be really great....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] AkumaX:
there's this trick that works most of the time: whenever i get lag, i make a phone call (anyone's fine, voicemail, etc...). after the call end, the system speeds up and im back to normal :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
Whoah, dude, I definitely tried everything (crashing the system server, gmaps, ecc ecc).

And nothing worked.

This one does. Receiving the call is good as well.

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

About the 1250 kernel (I come directly from 1245) apart from the really nice key lighting, I notice a lot less lag on pressing the physical keys (aka writing and/or cancelling too fast has almost no lag at all now).

Thanks!

google maps works for me. Rhodium 400 FRXO03 with now updated 1250 the kernels kentucky fried extra crispy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
i download frx03 and the latest kernel and module build, put the latest kernel and module to the andboot folder andreboot my htc blackstone in android, but its stuck on waiting for sd card thing. can anybody help me out here
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] knaveman:
I'm running the newest kernel on my Topaz (Pure) and love it so far. :D Battery life seems drastically improved and I don't have to make a call after boot.

Only problem, and it's a small one, is Wifi. It works fine but after a couple of days it has problems connecting to the network. After reboot all is well again. Anyone else noticed this or did I just not search well enough?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
i manages to start the frx03 witht the 1250 kernel and module in my htc blackstone, but it hangs for several minutes. any idea regarding this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
sd card issue

Do a search in this thread. You will find a command line option for your startup.txt that should fix this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neo_zycho:
i managed to start it up.but as my last comment, it hangs. is there any fix for this. on the original frx03 zimage and module. the wifi is not working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
You said it "hangs for several minutes"? Can you describe when this happens? What is on the screen at the time that this happens? While it's happening is the handset totally unresponsive to anything you press? Does the sleep/power button work?

As far as wifi is concerned, The TI wlan driver used by pretty much everything except the rhodium seems a rather moody thing. Somebody should probably write a faq on getting it to work when it's not in the mood. I'd do it, but I don't use wifi. And even if I did decide to try it out, my rhodium uses the broadcom driver instead. There are some tidbits that are buried here and there in this thread that you may find useful regarding possible solutions however.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
quick q guys and gals. i just dl the new 1250 zimage and the new module. i replaced the zimage but do i delete the old module or do i keep it there with the new module? thanks

p.s- yes i am a major nooob to android:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Delete the old zImage and module. Add the new zImage and module. Change the name from zImage-somefigures to zImage. Don't change the name of the module.

diam500 screen placement/alignment migrates

Hey guys

I'm an android newb, if I say something stupid I apologize :)

I was running FRX 03, from the all in one package from the project android site hosted on google sites, using their startup app on my cdma touch diamond.

I've just now replaced the zimage and modules with 1250 from the first post here, and it runs great. The only problem is, the screen edges slowly migrate from left to right, quickly becoming unusable.

It seems like this is something I might be able to fix myself, can anyone shed any light? Weeks back I read about someone else reporting this, but I can't seem to find the post, and I don't recall there being a solution at the time.

thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I thought the issue was isolated to the RAPH800, but perhaps all CDMA RAPH/DIAM's suffer from the same issue. We believe it's due to the clock changes in 1245 - so use a kernel before that one until we can get this issue fixed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
thsi kernal is great! installed 1250 and phone is def smoother!

can anyone link to where i can get the camera fix? is it hard to do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Camera 'fix' is a different test kernel. Thread located here.

Probably be best to wait until it's committed honestly. Not for the faint of heart!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bluenote73:
Thanks aargh!

I guess I'll go to 1242 although I may run 1250 the rest of the day and see how many times I have to reboot because of it. So far the main reproducible way to make the problem appear is to run angry birds, but its not the only way.

Am I able to downgrade just by replacing the zimage and modules file? I know that the modules are extracted, so I'm wondering if I have to go and dig the extracted files out somewhere. ?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
thanks! i'll wait then.

another question - i have a tilt 2 for att, i can never overclock my phone in the android option, it always freezes.in the options i click on overclock and set to 700 and click on boot and my phone always freezes, anyway to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Nope, just delete the old (in the case new) zImage/modules and replace with the new (old :p) zImage/modules.

Erm, are you overclocking in WinMo? Because that's a big no-no.

Other than that, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to OC. Might want to try modifying your startup.txt manually - I have no clue what that startup utility does, and we don't really provide support for it - that's Sov's app ;)

Also, I've heard some phones can't OC as high as other ones - for example, not everyone can hit 768mhz.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matiasg85:
Hi there, i have an rohd210, and i can't make THIS kernell boot. I'm getting kernel panic, and an automated reboot just right after it.

ANy ideas on what could be the problem here?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm... kernel panic eh? When does it happen in the boot process? I know people have had issues with their SD cards, and they had a put a command in the startup.txt... but that would fail at "Waiting for SD", it wouldn't kernel panic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matiasg85:
Weird thing is, taht i'm using the one Tiad's using in his compilation and it works fine, but whenever i try to use this Kernel, after a little time running haret, i get the message of kernel panic, and a 7 seconds countdown to reboot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
There are known to be compatibility issues between some of Tiad8's packages and newer kernels. One of his modifications is probably crashing the new kernel. A dmesg and logcat would tell us more.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matiasg85:
How can i do to log what's going on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Naadi900:
All good except Wifi

Been on this kernel for a bit now. Have to say that the battery life is good :) Had yesterday 9.30h unplugged and still 19% left! And that while I turned on overclocking to 768MHz yesterday. I didn't use the phone so much, made maybe 30 minutes of calling, bit of browsing, customization of my homescreen etc.

Only this kernel, and i believe the previous few, broke my Wifi. I just get Error. In the testing kernel from 1/2/11 Wifi is working, but autobacklight not.

I also think autobacklight is not working is this 1250 kernel for me... Don't see the brightness change when I shine a bright light on it, followed by covering it with my hand. Before this did show a big difference reasonably fast.

Any idea what could cause these problems? Should I try a fresh build again, to test if it works?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Raul^:
How can I get logs from adb and which logs? I have issues with this new kernels, and I would like to get logs in time just before the system freezes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
This was a pm F22 send me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Raul^:
Thanks, I hope logcat would be enough
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
dmesg is done in 2 seconds. type "adb shell dmesg" i thought
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DmK75:
What's new into 1253 kernel?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Where did you find that kernel?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DmK75:
Here:

http://pixelwattstudio.com/android/kernel/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
I always wait on somebody to post a link on the forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Raul^:
Can I make logcat and dmesg at once? I have about one minute after boot. After that phone freezes.

Or maybe I could do dmesg from terminal to sdcard?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
You have to do it on your computer so i hope that your phone stays connected when it freezes. You can also save the files on your computer. Like adb shell dmesg>dmesg.txt and adb logcat>logcat.txt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Raul^:
Yes, i'm doing that on my comp, but after freeze there is noting more and locat ends. I will try dmesg first, then logcat.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well based on GIT there were 3 commits. This one being the most important for sure ;)

Awesome news! Can't wait for 3.5mm :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SpecRek9:
Hi fellows, I have a annoying problem with my HTC RAPH800, whenever it goes to sleep it never wakes up, I have the newest kernel (1250) and my pm.sleep_mode parameter value is set to "2"

Here's my STARTUP file:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2039

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=210 pm.sleep_mode=2 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=1 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 rel_path=andboot"

boot

If there's any other parameter or log file I should post, anything, just let me know.

I'd very very much appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You're not OC'd, why would you set it to 2? Also, with the newest commits, you shouldn't need to set it to 2 when OC'd - change it to 1!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SpecRek9:
Will change it to "1" and try.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SpecRek9:
Had to downgrade to v1242, the screen started to flick and went out of phase.

Still having the deep sleep problem with the value set to 1.

Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm...

I guess the usual. Make sure everything else is up to date (you're on FRX03, newest rootfs...) and if that doesn't work (or you already are) then go the data.img wiping route. Delete (move, rename) it, then boot again. Still failing? Format the card with the HP tool. Full format. I'm doubting formatting will fix it, but it's worth a shot.

I haven't had an SoD in a looooong time on this kernel as well. Perhaps it hasn't been entirely licked on the RAPH's - maybe specifically the 800, not sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] djcrosstunez:
last build works smooth!! thanks, but if I press the end key to end a call, the system restart. This even happens when I have a missed call. Does anybody knows a fix?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SpecRek9:
Im not sure of what version I have installed but I think you gave me the link at #xdandroid, if I remember correctly is this: XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE, in this case other than the v1242 already updated kernel, what would I need to update?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
i don't have it overclocked in winmo. i put acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 and pm.sleep_mode=2 in my startup.txt and the phone will not boot into android

how can you check the clock speed in android to see if the overclock is working?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SpecRek9:
So far so good!

Thanks for your assistance, let's hope this issue don't bother again :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] trusa1:
Use the kernel 1241 or higher.

Try it first with: acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=614400 and pm.sleep_mode=1

Is the modules file hosted anywhere else? I downloaded the kernel in seconds, but I can only get the modules file from mediafire at 2.5kB/s :-(

Ed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
Thanks, F22.

I am just curious about your build's modules being like 10 times bigger than those from Glemsom's builds ... :D

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
If you're still having difficulty downloading the modules file I can change the file extension and attach it here. Unfortunately XDA won't allow me to upload a .gz file directly despite the fact that it is already compressed as its not in their list of allowed file types. Not wanting to deal with the additional confusion that changing the extension might cause for some of our less experienced forum members, I opted to put it up on mediafire instead to keep the instructions as simple as possible.

Btw, if there is another free site out there like mediafire that people would like me to upload to, I can look into it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
I can mirror it.

zImage-2.6.27.46-01232-gb7033df

For all the others, if you tamper with that host and find out some holes, please report them to me, or else die in pain!!! :P

Thankx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
Module File Size

Ten times? wow! I really haven't put any thought into optimizing the size of the compressed file up to this point. If Glemsom's auto-build service continues to stay down for an extended period of time I'll look into it. Off the top of my head I think -some- of it is probably due to the fact that I'm building on a 64 bit system which results in greater file overhead. Nevertheless that by itself wouldn't double the size of the file, let alone make it 10 times bigger. I know it's also possible to further optimize compression at a cost of speed with gzip. So I could probably shrink the file quite a bit at the price of a slightly slower boot.

EDIT: Hmm...even uncompressed his modules file is way smaller than mine. I will look into this further.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
I don't mind about size: I have 4Gb free on SD, so using for modules 7M instead of 800k doesn't bother me at all.

I think that tarring on a 64bit system alone cannot in a single way produce that much difference.

I guessed you were putting more stuff in it, maybe useful stuff :D

That's what I was curious about!!

ps, if you like it, I can stably mirror your kernels - I mean, I can give you an FTP to an exposed folder, or I could figure out sync script from your folder ...

The server above is in house in my office, I was thinking about using one personal web-hosting, mostly unused. Let me know what you think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Why were you expecting version 2.3? This isn't a new system image, we're still on 2.2.1. Which brings up a good point, it looks like you're not using the FRX03 system image. Goto xdandroid.com and get a clean FRX03 system.ext2 (system image) file. Replace your existing system.ext2, and delete your data.img.

2.3 (aka Gingerbread) code hasn't dropped yet, only the SDK has been released... this kernel has nothing to do with that, it's just got a new patch.

No, that's not supposed to work now. Again, why did you think it would? No body said it would.

With the new(er) kernels, USB has been enabled - but only enabled for ADB. So with DroidExplorer you can kinda have USB mass storage mode, but it's not truly mass storage mode - it's ADB!

New Kernel - improved battery life ?

First of all I want to thank you for uploading new kernel that is not on common kernel download page !

http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux/

Second I was wondering if this kernel actually did some thing for battery life ?

I'm asking cuz after update with this build suddenly my phone drains

1,25 - 1,8 %/hour and not like before 2 - 3,5%/hour. This improvement should give a double life for battery !!!

But ! This is the case only if I'm in Android...if I boot WinMo battery percentage falls back for about -10%, so if I had in Android 79% in WinMo I have 68-69%.

This is strange, cuz in Android "draining speed" is constant...

With build from 24.11.2010 battery has a smaller mistake between Android and WinMo about 2-3%...

And earnestly I didn't noticed any performance improvement for 2d...sad but true...

But thank you anyway !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sorry if I'm stealing your thunder here F22, but emwe said he ported ACL's 35 framebuffer...

See here!

So yet another new kernel to test... gotta love the progress!

I guess I should've tested each individually, but I'm getting pretty consistent 29's in FPS2D, and 19.2-19.6 in Neocore. No OC, this new kernel, FRX03, and all of the new lib/gralloc/build.prop madness.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
That's a test kernel, it's not in the official repo. I was planning on only linking kernels generated from the official repo in this thread, ie. the same kernels that Glemsom would have made available were his build service still up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] the.decoy:
The new kernel on Rhodium generates some kind of graphics glitch during the startup animation (see video) and also any 3D graphics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCsqMWLGb1k

It occurs every boot, with and without OC.

I didn't have Neocore and Quadrant installed when I shot that video but I have tested them while uploading and you get a full screen flickering in Neocore and half the screen glitches out in the 3D tests of Quadrant.

I am running with the 11-30 gralloc and 11-26 libGLES (as per 3D Driver thread by tiad) so I guess there is possible compatibilty issue with either of those.

System is otherwise stable however.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] the.decoy:
Ok, disabled binding for 11-26 libGLES and now only occasional boot anim glitches. Neocore seems fine but some of the 3D tests in Quadrant still half screen glitching.

Gralloc is replaced in rootfs I have so cannot eliminate that until later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tiad8:
You right. This kernel have flickering problem it not stable. Thanks

After i replaced libGLES to version 11/29 instead 11/26, no flickering anymore with this kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
Where is 11/29 libGLES located?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tiad8:
Yeah I notice that too.

The reason that I don't use 11.29 or 11.27. It because 3d works the best with 11.26 for me. Speed it great. And thats what I want.

The 11.27 and 11.29. Flickering it almost perfect. But It a little bit slow for me. Yes you will get a higher score on neocore and quadrant.

Yes. You will get low score on neocore and quadrant with 11.26. To be honest I'm 20.1 fps neocore and 590 to 610 with quadrant.

Yes I'm testing a few files.

Module File Reduced to 806 kB

Glemsom was stripping out the debugging symbols. I've now decided to do the same and the modules file has shrunk from 7.2MB to 806 kB. The link in the first post has been updated.

New Kernel (1253) - Jan. 13, 2011

New kernel linked to post#1. Headset stuff for rhodium. Commit #1251 makes snd.force_headset unnecessary. Commit #1252 enables/disables extUSB headset properly. 3.5mm jack on CDMA handsets isn't yet addressed by this new kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
thanks f22!!! going to try it now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:
Thanks a lot for this. What does commit 1253 mean? (Merge branch 'htc-msm-2.6.27' of git@gitorious.org:linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm into htc-msm-2.6.27)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
So the description means 3.5mm jack does not work yet right? That's what I have so that's why I don't know what an 11 pin headset is :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ghost13:
att tilt 2 doesn't have a 2.5 jack so you have to use the mini usb adapter to plug your 3.5 headset into. i'm assuming that is the 11 pin connection
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, as ghost13 said. It's called the 'extUSB' adapter. All RAPH's have it, and only GSM RHOD's need it, but our CDMA RHODs can use it as well.
