I've had an unresponsive phone twice (when quickly displaying then hiding screen previews using ADW Launcher EX, resulting in a battery pull) and never have had an upside down lock screen, I've tried to recreate like people have mentioned but it never bugs up. I've even been playing with ROMs (I've flashed Desire Z and HD, RoyalThunder, and Cyanogen RC1 but always come back to Stock), themes, and little mods here and there. (This is for the entire period I've been flashing faux's kernels)

With pretty much every update for almost a week now I clear cache/dalvik, flash, reboot, let load, reboot again, let load, then detect settings in SetCPU and OC to 1401. Maybe I'm just lucky, but this seems to work great for me.

I'm on beta v0.8.1.1 right now, I flashed it barely two hours ago after I unplugged it and I'm down to 85% with about 45 internet/XDA. Tomorrow will show better battery results but overall it's still super smooth and pretty.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
The next public release are in the hands of the dedicated Beta testers.... Once they feel the preview beta is stable enough, I will make it available to public...

This will be the LAST MAJOR update for the Sense Kernel... Everything that could be updated have been updated... (Device Drivers, Technologies, Optimizations, etc)

Version 0.9.x series will mainly concentrate on extending Battery life via voltage tweaks and adding EXTENSIONS to allow ADVANCE USERS to tweak internal Kernel Settings to their liking.. Once all the extensions have been completed and tested...

The final LONG TERM STABLE RELEASE version 1.0.0 will be released after that...

Ive been running v0.8.6 SV with no problem,should i stay and wait for v1.0 or flash it to v7.8.2?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
So you haven't attempted fixing permissions?

You should do everything you're doing now but with a fix permissions after the initial flash of the kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
If you have NOT encountered any issues, then I suggest you stay with it and wait for v 1.0
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2low2rl:
ok so im new to all this and im having issues with home screen lag on my stock kernal. i'm hoping this kernal would help but i have one issue. where is the link to download the newest version of this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I've done it a couple times, prob about every 3 to 5 kernels I flash, but it's not on my list of things to do when I flash a new kernel update. Should I? I'm not having issues, like I said, and I doubt it'll hurt but will it really help? Just curious, thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
Read the OP about which version to download depending on what you're running, and then you can find the links in the second post.

He used to keep the newest versions in the OP, but after he scrapped the last v0.8.x series he hasn't released a new one to put up there. Hope this helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Scroll down on the first page to the second post of this thread (where the change logs are) and find v7.8.2 and use that. That is the latest stable kernel. Read the entire OP before flashing anything, though.

Yes you should. It is recommended to do by Faux himself. P

Post #614 I believe. Some one correct me if I'm wrong please.

I thought you were having issues,

You said you encountered an unresponsive phone twice, right?

I assumed you still had the issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
Oh, no I was just reporting in general kind of my experience so far. Thanks though! (I did fix permissions, I somehow missed faux saying that)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
.1 still making me happy...

v0.8.1.1 SV preview beta still holding strong. No unresponsiveness all day, no lag, etc. SetCPU profiles have been disabled all day. Just running 245-1401 w/ smartass. Lite-usage day (have my lite-medium flow pads in) but I'm definitely seeing a sweet balance between speed and battery life...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brwnohno:
I look forward to trying it. Sounds great!

What's the display use?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daprince047:
Running 0.8.1.1 same results not one problem full day waiting on a reply from faux for a release the kernel is perfect at this end even phone feels and acts more stable than when I first bought it

I cant get grankins kernal or got v0.2 to work on stock or IG 1.1.6. When I wipe dalvic cache is says E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 - (Invalid argument) is this normal or not? I have read this whole post and have tried every method listed. Need some help. Thanks in advance.

Ice Glacier 1.1.6

CWM 2.5.1.2

PermaRooted S=OFF
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I've done the same thing. Stock ROM rooted and I had Grankin's kernel, newest clockwork recovery (2.5.1.2), and flashed v01 the day it came out w/ wiping cache and dalvik cache. It worked great, then I fixed permissions just because (I think I did it like twice within a few days), and then I upgraded to v02 w/ wiping cache and dalvik - no problems at all.

I haven't decided if I get better battery/performance, but it's def not worse. I have SetCPU, but just to bump up the O/C a bit. Thanks Faux123, hope this info helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
I'm more frusrated than you are bro, I also have been up all night to figure out the problems that you're having. But I cannot pin the problems out. I've test on Z, rom and everything works for me. I am sorry because I want all of MT4G users to be able to use and flash this kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
like-wise, I have tried this on Stock, both Themed and Unthemed Ice-Glacier, Gorilla DHD Port, eVil D's DHD Port and DZ Port and it is working fine on all of them.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OptLynx:
Well epsix keep looking I am not quitting also, I just refuse to believe that it works in some MT4G and not in others. Now I have knowledge in programming and hardware and no why in hell is that even possible. Like you all I am trying different type of procedures to see which yields successful result.

When I started I did not anticipate all this to go wrong but now I am setup for the tests. I had to halt it this morning due to sdcard turning read only and not able to be mounted. Now I am looking at the posts in this thread and few is saying they did fix permission. I tried various meth to remount the sdcard though console and changing the permission base to chmod 777(rwxrwxrwx) and trying to remount it but they all failed. The data on the sdcard was intact but I was not able to access it from MT4G or PC (connected as USB disk drive). I was however able to access it via console, werid huh? Thank god I been using *nix for 10+ years lol knowledge came in handy. I transferred data from RO-sdcard to phone(/data=1gb free, dev=370mb or so free) and then another sdcard I did this back and forth till I backed up the total 19GB... As you can see why I was MIA as data came first. If anyone has this problem use CP or MV command as you won't able to mount it but you can access it from /mnt/sdcard if /sdcard is unmounted and if its mounted it will say readonly.

I know my way around commands and UNIX/Linux base structure so this wouldn't have happened randomly. Now I am downloading stock PD15IMG as ill thoroughly test this using all root meth. ATM I have PermROOT Radio S=OFF as most saying they are using same version as I am of IG1.1.6 and CWM2.1.5.2 and kernel v0.2 I don't see any other factor here other than how permroot was obtained, ill also be sure to test with radio on and not radio off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
so..you guys have been on cm7 before right? I've noticed in other threads that people who go over to cm7 (and naturally cw 3) and then come back to cw 2 for a non cm7 ROM seem to be way more prone to lingering phantom issues with all sorts of things.

...just a thought..are all you guys that are having issues with this kernel ex-cm7 people?

inversely is anyone who ISNT having issues with this kernel ever been on cm7?

I've never gone cm7 partially because of all the issues Ive read about trying to come back ... also partially bc I think gingerbread is kinda fugly personally and I like sense a lot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OptLynx:
ckisgen thats one of the reason I am doing total radio revert and flashing back to stock image with PD15IMG. I want to test this step by step ooh ya ill get bottom of this BS as at this point there are alot of uncounted variables in my end which is different from other folks as it seems.

My phone is clean ATM and all data is backed up safely so now I have no fear as I am using different backup sdcard(recovery sdcard) with everything inside. My guess is this is due to how PermROOT was obtained on device and if Radio security is enabled or disabled. Normally this would not matter but its little odd in this kernel for some reason.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Onefast:
Anybody notice it still doesn't scale down past 768 with the screen on with smartass scaling?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
No luck here either. Rooted stock doesnt matter if I wipe caches or not
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OptLynx:
Hmmm I came across different radio's on stock PD15IMG.

Baseband: 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M

Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

The baseband showing U supposedly enables HSUPA as UMTS hsxpa=2 enabled.

Which radio's do you folks have? Also is anyone else have radio s=off other than me?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
I have 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
that was v0.1...according to change log that was fixed in 0.2. mine appears to go all the way down to 2xxmhz
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Onefast:
Yeah, I flashed v0.2 twice now and it only goes down to 768...weird. I wonder what I'm doing wrong
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lcc307:
Hopefully I am not asking stupid questions.

How's the difference between this kernel and

Gorilla O/C Kernel Overclock MYTOUCH 4G to 1.7 ghz (v2)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846451

I am using ice glacier v1.1.6.

I am not able to flash Faux123's kernel 0.2. I flashed it many times. It always stuck at splash screen. There is once, it passed splash screen, but stuck at black/blank screen. I can only remove battery everytime.

Can I flash Gorilla's kernel v2.3? Is there any compatible issue with Ice glacier v1.1.6?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
My kernel should be very similar to other Stock based kernels.

I tried to show/explain detail changes I made to the stock version. My goal is to balance performance and battery life while keeping the kernel as Sense compatible as possible. I only apply patches/updates to my kernel once I understand the theory of operation behind them (I am learning the kernel as I go for myself, still a total kernel newbie...) So in a sense, my kernel will NOT have the latest patches/enhancements from CM or Google.

If you are using SetCPU, please turn off any "set on boot" options before you reboot to ClockworkMod recovery. Also, first time reboot after flashing my kernel may take a while to boot up so be patient... There are many variables, so I can't tell you how to fix your issues, except telling you general tips... Also read how other users have solved their problems on this thread, maybe they have better solutions.

Thanks for trying out the kernel...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OptLynx:
Well faux123 keep on working but at this point I have abandoned your kernel as I don't have time. I need working phone been nonfunctional as I was testing for like 2days, but I did solved 2/3 issues with sdcard read only and recovery 2.1.5.4 I still have everything I need to test out the kernel later time if I have time ill post back result here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Onefast:
so with the screen on, it shouldn't go lower than 768 with smartass scaling? then when the screen is off, it drops down to 245?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kaufmanj67:
So I took a break from writing my look screen app and flashed this last night at 1.7 lower works great but freezing at 1.8 I'm on iced glacier 1.1.5 themed any way you can up the voltage at the high end would like to see if that would make it stable know its fast at 1.7 but would love to see it 1.8 just to knock my rm iPhone 4 in the dirt lol

sent with iced out mt4g built to the hilt wit the xda app
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I've got no issues with 1.8 luckily..can get about 2800 quadrant and managed a 61+ linpack with it..

I only leave it at 1.1 or 1.2ghz max for my daily driving though
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lcc307:
I didn't use Set CPU until I gave up install your kernel.

Many thanks for developping the kernel, and answering my questions...

Can I flash Gorilla Kernel v2.3 with ice glacier v1.1.6?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] SoltyPK:
Anyone that's been having the lock screen lag up or what ever are you using smartass with a screen off profile? I,ve been trying to reproduce this bug and the only way i was able to is if i had a SetCPU profile for screen off smartass and 245min and what ever max.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
@ Elloco - no worries man...most people are waiting patiently for the newest release.

Keep testing and reporting bro :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
@SoltyPK I have been trying that since the minute you posted your results but I have not been able to re create it. Are you running v8.1.1??

I have tried profiles screen off with 1100-1800 max / 245- 1100 min

But to no avail. Or better yet, to great avail, no bug. :P

And yes I've waiting 5 minutes and more before powering screen on.

@Vinsane most definently will. Are you also beta testing?

I'm getting "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" when trying to wipe Dalvik cache.. but then it still says "Dalvik cache wiped."

Anyone know what this means? Google isn't really leading me to any answers :/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Don't worry about it.. It's a side-effect of using Recovery 3.0.0.6...

It apparently does NOT know how to deal with the SD-EXT partition of your SD-Card... It's harmless.. Ping Option94 to see if you can have him fix it ;) in 3.0.0.7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ags29:
Nice. Thanks for the reply.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
Yeah it does nothing so you shouldn't worry about it. Hell I don't even have ext partition setup on sdcard yet I still see /sd-ext :P maybe Koush (not Option94) can fix that in next version.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Its looking for that vilune but it isn't mounted I believe.

Though I can guarantee you that it is wiping dalvik
[myTouch 4G Android Development] SoltyPK:
I'm running stock t-mo ROM with v0.8.5 SV atm with zero bugs, no rests, none of the bad stuff others had encountered. I was re-reading the forum though and noticed people who had the lock ups had might have smartass running with profiles and I remembered faux123 mentioning the built in profile like settings of smartass. so I gave it a go and was able to get it to freeze up. Removed the profile and no more issues. Looking forward to v8.1.1 glad its running smooth so far.

Thx faux123 for the sweet kernel love'n
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
@ Elloco - I'm not beta testing bro. Unfortunately..i don't have the time needed and dedicate to an important task like this. I can only do short time stints and mess around with it as much as possible.

Recovery: CWM 3.0.06
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BeEazy10:
(NOTE: My kernel DOES NOT support EXT 4 file system -- Orange Color Text -- ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.4 or 3.0.0.5, so if your existing kernel is using using EXT 4 file system, you need to restore back to ClockworkMod Version 2.5.1.2 -- Green Color Text --, then WIPE EVERYTHING include Cache and Data)

im running ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 Rom manager say its the lastest one, so i can flash to your kernal?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brwnohno:
8.1.1 has given me zero issues so far. I'm now running it on stock with the kernal running at 245 on the low side and 1401 on the high with smartass governor. I have no profiles running at the moment. Seems the issues with the frozen lockscreen have been resolved. Thanks faux!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] denward:
ive been testing since it was put up. im getting a lot of random slowdowns and lockups. ive wiped and reinstalled about 4 times now and have tested it on all the governor settings. im running it on the latest ice rom.

it might be crashing because im clocking it to the max 1.8 ghz and my chip just cant handle it. im gonna dial it back to 1.7ghz and see if its more stable. ive been running it at 1.7 with the kernel that came with ice for a few weeks now and its never given any problems.

what i have noticed so far is that my quadrant scores are consistently in the 2390s. the best i got with my previous kernel was about 2210. however, my linpack scores are all over the place. off of a fresh kernel install, im getting 30-59. however, 10 min after the install, it drops down to the low 30s and stays there. my phone becomes choppy and begins to lag. strangely enough, my quadrant scores are still 2300s. my previous linpack scores with the old kernel were 55-58 consistently.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
I've had that message since day 1, using 2.5.1.2. No issues whatsoever.

This beta is still holding strong. On Day #2 and looking good from boot. This is where I started seeing battery do a kamikaze dive on the last release. Faux seems like a nice guy and I'm sure he's not interested in throwing up a release that people will have issues with. Trust the beta phase, it's worth it. :)

Absolutely no profiles yesterday, just 245-1401 w/ smartass and here's how my battery usage + level looked before I went to bed...

​

I don't have that info from yesterday's Display usage, but I can say I've only had the phone off the charger since 7 AM today (9:24 here now) and Display is up to 14 minutes of on-time (and today has been lite usage thus far). I have my display set at position 2/3 (3 total levels available via the stock Power Control widget), so not full brightness, but not all the way down either - how I always run it. So if that gives you any insight into my display-on-ratio. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] SoltyPK:
Flashed v0.8.1.1-SV and so far everything is running well, no issues anywhere. I benched it with Quadrant adv using smartass governor, after about 20 min of up time to allow cache to build, and I got a Respectable 2651. ^^

I just rooted my phone how can I go about backing up my stock stuff and my.clockwork recovery is 3.0.0.5 can I still flash the kernel?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Nandroid backup in recovery and then flash the kernel
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Now every one can have share the ultimate experience. :P
[myTouch 4G Android Development] SoltyPK:
Hate to say it but I found a minor bug only occurs when using home button to go from the home screen to an app with a popup menu open in it, i.e. Titanium when you have a app selected. What happens is the screen will flicker/flash for a second then stop. Again minor.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Appears this is not related to flashed ROMs or Faux's kernel

I'm able to reproduce this issue...on my fiancee's stock ROM. ;)

So it looks like this isn't related to a flashed ROM such as Ice Glacier, nor Faux's kernel. My fiancee is straight-up stock - just rooted so I can backup her shtuff with Titanium and Clockwork. I can record video of it if need be, but I think there will be others that can vouch for this too.

The steps SoltyPK is referring to are:

1. Launch Titanium

2. Click Backup/Restore tab

3. Short-press an app - the app dialog with info to Backup, Freeze, Un-install, etc. appears

4. Press Home

5. Long-press Home

5. Press Titanium from your recently accessed apps list

~Screen 'flickers' briefly~

I wonder if this is more a Titanium issue than anything else? Maybe after some testing/verification, we could email the developer of Titanium.

I'm guessing this is something to do with the "state" (I'm not a developer, just really, REALLY into this stuff) Android puts apps in when you leave them. Android makes it so the user experience is like browsing Web pages - you can go "back" to where you were. So the state has to be saved so you can quickly return to where you left off, giving you the impression the screen was sitting there the whole time, waiting for you. Much like code that handles a data-aware grid in an app, once the grid is scrolled away from what you see on the screen (what's being piped through the display driver), the app is now dependent on what code is in RAM, telling it about the data that is "no longer on the screen," but will be back in just a second, as soon as you scroll back up or down. If the object or code aren't written to handle this (it's difficult for a programmer to nail all possible issues right out of the gate), then you'll get wonky results - e.g. the flickering when coming back to Titanium (which it then has to launch that 'child' dialog).

So there's my horrible explanation of things, as I understand them to be.

Good catch though and it's worth mentioning everything you see. I'm not sure I'd qualify this as a 'bug' as much as it would be an 'enhancement', at least based on the developers I've worked with in my years. :)

Can sombody share the link of Grankins stock kernel v5 ? Does it exist?
