[Captivate Android Development] existz:
for those following nightlys, as of right now i ditched updating the whole kernel source to updated versions..im back to just cherry picking commits from upstream 2.6.32.10-27..just adding whats needed, instead of updating everything (stuff that doesnt even apply to us)..once I get whats needed from 2.6.32, ill start with 2.6.33
[Captivate Android Development] chickelnoodensoup:
Does the S_cpufreq_tweak.sh script still do anything? I haven't seen it mentioned a while and there doesn't seem to be a link on the front page anymore.

I'm getting amazing stability and battery life with 2.0.5...much better than with any of the previous Onix versions.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea u still need to use the script for the tweaks to work ..
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
last few questions:

-toggle script asserts ?

-fix permissions ?

-wipe voltage ? why/when?

-set default permissions ?

-cache / data/ dbdata loops ?

Read-Write /system -enables read/write on system.. sets it to RW on boot? or mounts to pc from cwm? how does work?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
No Kernel Panic Mode for the past couple hours since I had the last one. Didn't change anything... Except that the phone is not UVing or OCing. The tweaks in the Recovery menu are the same as before, with the optimized memory timing tweak disabled atm.

Could it be that I was using the wrong frequency steps?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Most likely an unstable oc/uv..to low of voltages
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
had a SD while charging yesterday but i honestly couldnt replicate it. switched back to firefly as my base rom for multiple personal reasons. Going to go ahead and flash the 4-12 nightly that just posted:D

edit: well this is a first after just flashing a kernel only... seems all my widgets didnt load after reboot. not a biggie of course

edit2: okay maybe my switch to firefly in the afternoon is whats up, also noticed all the onix tweaks were disabled when i went to recovery. HAHA! okay im going to make sure everything is normal after this next reboot and anything "missing" ill just blame myself on. Love having nightlies and the repo to check on progress!
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Is anyone else experiencing (seemingly) random "slow-downs" and/or occasional lock-ups? I never had this problem on the voodoo kernel with every step uv at -100. It feels like the longer I keep the phone on, the more it tends to have moments where the phone becomes extremely sluggish, sometimes locking up completely for a few seconds.

For reference, I'm running the stock uv/oc settings, the sio scheduler, and the first for tweaks are enabled. I've tried running the kernel with only the first two recommended tweaks enabled, and still had the same results.

I haven't had any SDs or CDs though, so I'm happy about that. However, if I can't figure out how to resolve these issues I'll likely end up back on SP-voodoo. I'm going to miss that beautiful onix recovery if that happens =(

[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
- script assert

in stock kernel they are all enabled to ensure update script in valid and signed

you can keep it disable to let [whateverupdate].zip run until it tells you if there is errors.

- fix/default permissions

restore files and directories permissions as stock.

If you copied files to /system manually and don't know how to use "chown" and "chmod" and don't know what to set,

this options can fix for you. (I guess)

- wipe voltage

just delete /etc/init.d/S_volt_scheduler

different oc/uv kernel will have different oc/uv coding,

sometimes it will have problem if you stick the oc/uv after switch/upgrade kernel,

then you will need to delete the file.

Instead of do it manually, you can use this wipe function in cwm

- rw system

This tell the kernel to remount /system into RW mode after bootup.

Keep it disable to avoid invalid/accident write to system partition,

In normal daily use you don't need write access on it.
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
So what kernel you are using now ??

In fact Firefly is not a kernel.

Firefly is a custom rom with kernel Speedmod K13D.

You can use Firefly with speedmod or voodoo or onix or SP or i897 stock kernel......
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
i cant speak for every users phone but on mine i can honestly say i dont have slow downs or lock ups. okay now maybe it will lock when im installing an app from the market and the media scanner hits right after but thats all. i know some people will probably recommend some of the usual steps *clear dalvik, cache, etc* i have found lately that adjusting the steps in the voltage control utility has helped immensly. as many are reporting less steps used seems to help on smoothness. i too am using SIO, seems ok but maybe you can try noop scheduler. i guess as a last shot some people report different results with different launchers behaving differently on other kernels. not sure what you use, i have adw EX and im using a ton of "eye candy" options...again no slowdowns. Like i stated there is the usual suspects im just giving some outside the box advice:D
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
sorry if what i put was confusing im not all entirely awake lol. i loaded firefly *the rom* this afternoon and immediatly after flashing put the current onix kernel in and then rebooted. right now i have the latest onix nightly that posted about 30 minutes ago ;)
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
I'm probably going to give clearing the dalvik a go and see what happens. As for changing the enabled frequencies, I've tried turning off both the 600/900 steps without any luck. At the moment I'm using Go Launcher Ex, with two homescreens and a grand total of...four widgets. lol.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing someone else post about random fits of sluggishness, but they was on an earlier version so idk how relevant it would still be.

Thanks for the advice :)

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
It happened in previous versions,

especially when playing flash video or other memory and cpu intensive apps.

And the problem seems solved in 2.0.5

Now trying the nightly build, hope existz find the solution.

[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
If you are having lag with go launcher try adjusting the fling speed maybe? I'm also using go launcher with 3 homescreens and 7 widgets, no sluggishness here ;).
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What UV/OC steps do you suggest I use? The 100,200,400,800,1000,1200 one? I used 100,200,400,600,900,1120 earlier. Maybe the steps are the reason for the Kernel Panics.

Either way, I'll try just UVing for now.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I doubt its the steps, I've used em all, 100-1000 with and without 600/900...etc..etc.. Just UV each step 25mv at a time, testing each time you lower the voltage.. Can't really give you a recommended setting as its different for all phones,..some can handle 100 on some frequencies, some can't take 50...
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
I want to know how to use custom boot sound ?

What file, and put to where ?

I now know that my phone cannot handle ANY UV on 100Mhz

I get SD's with as little as -25 on that

but at least I can avoid SD's, even if I cant save battery, although now letting it go into sleep has helped a lot

update

I can't UV on any speed at all

I get SD's if I -25 any level at all

I have neither 600 nor 900 enabled
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That would make sense but atm I'm not getting any problems with just UVing by 100mV. Maybe I'll go into Kernel Panic when I charge it tonight. That's how this all started in the first place when I was on SuckerPunch-Voodoo.

I find My GPS sux's with this Kernel when i'm driving on the Hwy.. and as soon as I go back to the stock 2.2 Rogers Kernel its fine.. is their a version of the Rogers kernel that has the CWR and Voodoo?
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
hmm my van has been broken for a few weeks . havent gotten to try the gps lately.

it was AMAZING on onix .2
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
What modem where you using.. I find the GPS is only really good with the Rogers stock 2.2 kernel..
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
Hi,

What you saying is partially correct.

On STOCK bootup animation, it will use /system/etc/PowerOn.wav

But if you use custom Bootanimation, the kernel will Not use that PowerOn.wav

I hope you understand that.

You don't understand what I'm say :(

Obviously, make a MP3 and rename it to "android_audio.mp3",

then copy to /data/local

Do I make myself clear !?:p

JK1 modem

firefly rom (rogers 2.2 based!) came with JK1 modem!
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
You mean jk4?
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
I just find with any i9000 based kernel the GPS will not keep a fix when moving over 100kmph
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Did you clear the GPS data?

It's fine for me, though I don't use GPS much...
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
yep tried clearing it and it still acts the same.. will not keep a lock over 100kmph.. but as soon as I go back to the rogers kernel its fine... is there a rogers 2.2 kernel with voodoo in the works?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Are you talking about kernel or modem...?

i9000 kernels such as this one needs to be used with i9000 modems such as UGJK4, UGKC1.

Captivate kernels need to be used with Captivate modems such as the KB1.
[Captivate Android Development] TriC_101:
Tried Different Modems as well... both the i9000 and Captivate modems with this type of kernel and the same GPS issue.. I tried modems jk3 - jk4 - jl2 and the stock rogers captivate modem uxjl1 same thing but as soon as I go back to the stock 2.2 kernel it works great again..
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Have you tried the new KC1 modem? I'm using it now and gps is pretty damn good. Of course gps is a hit and miss with every phone though >_<!
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:

[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
The nightlies are there for anyone of us to test. So I have been testing each one as they come out.

I have never had the SD or CD issues in any of the releases and surprisingly 2.0.4 was the smoothest for me but I kind of moved away from it since it's the build with the most complaints.

My wife's Cappy was running 2.0.4 till yesterday when I switched her to the official 2.0.5

But since 2.0.5 there has been a few nightly builds.

April 12th gave me decent battery life but this morning the phone was off while it was charging overnight.

Regardless our beloved Dev is doing a good job!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea the nightlys are cwm zips, but might not be stable ...so flash at your own risk...it auto compiles my source tree, packages as a zip and uploads automatically ...so they are untested .. I usually build and test after every change (sometimes I don't) but **** can still go wrong during the nightly ...so make sure u know how to fix it if it does ..
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Glad to be the guinea pig.

Btw I thought you were swithching to a new kernel revision but the 13th nightly is the same as the pervious ones which is still 2.6.32.9

I am using the Nightly builds.

4-12 is the smoothest so far, but it has problem with barcode scanner (again), sometimes phone will halt when closing the scanner.

4-13 don't have problem with the scanner, but it is so lag and sluggish when playing flash video in browser, beside that this build is stable.

2nd day of use with just UVing by 100mV on all states and no overclocking. No Kernel Panic mode. Looks like it's the bad CPU states that are causing Kernel Panic. If I wish to overclock, then I have to find the correct speed steps to use...
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Not sure which version of Onix you are running, but I am running 2.0.4 oc'ed to 1.4ghz with no problems. This is my states enabled/uv list:

1600 disabled

1500 disabled

1400 -25mv

1300 disabled

1200 -50mv

1120 disabled

1000 -50mv

900 disabled

800 -50mv

600 -75mv

400 -75mv

200 -75mv

100 disabled

I have not set uv on unused states. Anyway, I am having no problems at all, in fact, this is one of the smoothest kernels I have ran, besides maybe existz kb1 beta 8, but I think they have very close performance and stability, at least on my phone. Of course, your phone may vary, so use these settings at your own risk. For what its worth, this is the setup I have been building Voltage Control EX against. And I have had no problems what so ever. Great work existz!!

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I'm going to assume for the ones that are disabled, well you chose not to use those states? So basically CPU speed scales by 200Mhz?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Yeah. It will scale up or down by 200mhz at a time. I just find that 200mhz steps provide the smoothest scaling. Because scaling uses processor time as well, keeping a 200mhz step between each keeps the processor from scaling so much, which frees up processor time. I have never had an issue with any step, except for the 1600mhz step, which causes an instant freeze upon enableing it. I have not tested the 1500mhz state. I just know that having 900mhz and 1120mhz and 1300mhz steps enabled, my phone was much more laggy. After removing those states, it doesn't scale as often, so it runs smoother. This is all just my personal experience though, so your phone may vary. Another great way to find which steps you can disable is to check your time in states values, either with VC EX or cpu spy. If you see states that are getting very little time in use, you can disable it. For example, I saw that 900, 1120, and 1300 were seeing very little time. This means they were being activated and deactivated often. That introduces lag. So I disabled them. I disabled 100mhz to speed up wake times. As the phone scales down to 200 and below for sleep, I found that when it scaled from deep sleep to 100 then 200 it was a little laggy. By disabling 100 it jumps from deep sleep to 200mhz in one step, and wake ups seem faster and smoother. Again, this is all on my phone, your phone may be radically different. Gotta love samsungs quality control department!!

Has anyone ever tried building a bigmem version of Onix? I never record videos, and I could use the extra 15mb ram.

You'd still be able to record 480p anyway, go ahead an give it a try.

But what makes you think that you need the extra 15 MB? You probably won't be able to tell the difference. At all.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Sleep death was a real issue that was somehow kernel-related for me. Wouldn't occur with vanilla Speedmod, but would regularly on Suckerpunch/Onix even without OC/UV. However, 2.0.5 has been great for me, no problems. :)
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Hmm, I haven't been having much luck with this. I've been on 2.0.5 for a couple of days now, but I'm still having major battery problems. Even after clearing battery stats and 2 full drain/charge cycles, my battery still barely squeezes out 6 hours (nothing running, no task killers, no wifi/gps/bluetooth/data/etc.). On top of that, when my phone is in standby while in my pocket, it gets very hot with nothing running, which I think is related to battery drain. During one of my charge cycles, the phone got a kernel panic screen. I've tried reflashing and clearing cache and dalvik cache, but nothing seems to have changed. I'm not overclocking or undervolting, 900MHz step is disabled.

Any suggestions? :(
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
Hi existz, I've been using your kernel with Cog 4.x for awhile. I noticed that trying to use adb to push framework-res.apk to system threw me a "Permission Denied" error which I had not seen before. I figured this was related to the [Security] enhancement on the latest version, but just thought I would mention it. I ended up reflashing CogKernel, pushing my modified framework, and then reflashing Onix 2.0.5.

Was there a way around this I missed? I tried some of the mounting options in the kernel tweaks for /system too.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
You are getting permision denied due to /system being mounted read only. The easiest way to push framework-res.apk from adb is to do this:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

adb push /path/to/framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system

That will mount system as read/write, copy framework-res.apk into /system/framework, then remount /system as read only.
