LOOKING FOR Beta Testers:

I need Beta Testers who do NOT mind loading the latest Beta and will give quick feedback and detailed descriptions of issues:

I need volunteers for:

Rooted Stock => eliasadrian

Iced => se1000

D HD =>

Requirement: MUST FOLLOW my twitter :D

Update: Not enough people volunteered for this :( ...

I feel like the touch screen is not responsive when it is charging. I have followed the usual steps in flashing. Wiping both caches with set cpu off and fixed permissions. I redetected speeds after reboot. For some reasons there's also a huge battery drain after reboot. I left it on idle over night. After 8 hours it dropped from 87 to 27 with no data connectivity on. My only widget is the flip clock. Nothing else was running since it was a fresh reboot after install of kernel

Llgw. Internet is far more stable with v8.0 than grankin's 0.5, using stock rom at 1.65
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Version 0.8.5 is OUT :D

Major props to se1000 and eliasadrian for their beta testing effort. Read OP for details.

I am loving the Android experience... With the updated drivers from HTC really shows the potential of a fully optimized Android. The phone is SO SILKY SMOOTH, it's like finger porn ;)

Version 1.0.0 is approaching fast... This has been a fun ride for me so far, I hope you guys enjoyed the experience so far...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
:eek: i wish i was home when you were accepting volunteers! D:

But thank you guys for testing!

Flashing v0.8.5 now.

Any update on getting the lockscreen unresponsive issue on the DHD roms taken care of? I'm running Gorillas DHD rom and have setcpu profiles at 1113 and 245 with smartass governor. I just updated to your 8.5 kernel and hit the power button to put my phone in standby and when I went to unlock it the touchscreen was unresponsive until I turned the screen back off and on. Man I want to run this kernel, everything else is so smooth! Thanks for your work on this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
reboot to recovery

wipe cache/dalvik, fix permission.

reboot system

Let it completely finish the first boot (~7 mins, don't touch anything)

Turn it off by using power button -> Power off

turn back on again,

Let it completely boot the 2nd time (~3 to 5 mins depending on how many startup apps you have)

See if you still have issues after the above procedures.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Hi Faux,

I flashed your kernel and it made me pregnant. And I'm a dude. Just kiddding? Flashed with zero issues.

I've been following your kernel threads and watching the kernel mature. I just wanted to let you know I think what you're doing - being so transparent and honest - is just really impressive and I have nothing but the utmost respect for that.

Ice Glacier v1.1.4 and been quite happy w/ Gorilla's v05 kernel that ships w/ IG. Just flashed v0.8.5 Stock Voltage #96 so I've officially made the jump to your kernel. Been quite comfy with anywhere between 12-30 hours of battery life but I felt compelled to try your kernel and hey, this is what it's (Android) all about anyway.

Again, major props to you digging in and being so transparent. There's something so refreshing about your approach and I'm obviously not the only one who thinks that.

Been on IG since December so I have a clear picture of how my device performs daily. Looking forward to this kernel and I'll report back any/all info that's pertinent to development or usage.

Did I say thank you? Thank you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brwnohno:
Thanks Faux! So far so good. I will report back if the issue arises again. Hopefully that took care of it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] feliciepr7:
Before I apply the update do I have to clear both cache and fix permission too right? Just to make sure!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
If you followed post #614, that's the safest way to resolve any funny issues you've encountered with my kernel...

If you have been running smoothly, you can just update the kernel directly, you don't need to go through all that, save some time ;)

I highly recommend EVERYONE who uses my kernel to go through the above procedure at least ONCE! Just to be sure :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
8.5SV....mmmmm

Silky smooth.

Amazing job Faux.

On stock tmo and 8.5 lv... getting the flipped lock screen more than ever.... wiped cache and dalvik as well as fixing permissions
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Jiminy Cricket this thing is so smoooooooooooth! I didn't think it could get any better than Ice Glacier...this is just insane.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Have you tried SV version?

What settings do you have?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Ok. I flashed to 8.5. I cleared Chaches. But why the hell is it removing everything from my homescreen? I've cleared caches plenty times before and this is a first that it does this. WTH?

Stock Rom.

Kernel v. 8.5 LV

CWM 2.5.1.2 & 3.0.0.5 I tried both thinking it was either recovery screwing with me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
I have not tried the sv..... didn't think that would make a difference..

I'm not sure what settings u r asking about... It does this with WiFi on or off though
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
Just tried sv and no better with that bug
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
I was getting that till I tried what faux said wipe caches flash reboot and let it set for bout 7 min then rebokt it again and let it set for another 5min before messing with it worked like a charm for me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Elloco - weird. I've never heard that happen flashing a kernel? Are all your apps and contacts and settings still there?

Nlarge - did this happen with with any earlier kernels? Im not sure how that would happen. Are you using stock lock screen?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
I'll try it again.... I may have not waited quite long enough.... I don't know
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
So just tried this kernel, so far it seems smooth, However, when I run quadrant I am only getting a score ranging from 1600-2000, Other oc kernels I have tried i usually get 2600. Any reason as to why this one is different?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
Stock lock n barrel... lol... I started to have it with 7.9 after about a day... its only mildly annoying. Otherwise its great
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Anyone else having issues with missing widgets?

I'm missing, weather, twitter, settings.

Update: titanium back up is the best. I ran it did a battery poul and everything working prefect now. Thanks. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Elloco - I'm running a bunch of widgets..no problems here. Try to fix permissions in recovery or rom manager and reboot...wait a while for everything to finish processing and then reboot again.

Nlarge - Really weird. I don't don't know why that would happen...thats a q Faux would have to answer. :( sorry I couldnt be of more assistance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
This Kernel is Designed to balance Battery and Performance. The default SmartAss may NOT be the best governor for Synthetic Benchmarks. If you want high benchmark score, switch to Interactive/OnDemand or Performance Governor for BEST SYNTHETIC SCORE :D

Remember, High Benchmark DOES NOT EQUAL good USER EXPERIENCE :p

Looking for Beta users with Stock ROM Lock Screen problems:

Minimum requirements:

1. MUST FOLLOW ME on twitter for updates

2. Can Give Detailed Description of Problem in Fast turn around time

PM or post here... I don't have Stock ROM myself, so I can't test for this problem :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Vinsane, thank you! You always come through for me. You're the bomb.

I'm on stock and I'm proud to say I have no issues whatsoever here. Thanks Faux!

I love this forum... Better yet, thread.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Glad it worked out for you :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Hey, Vinsane are you currently running stock or iced glacier?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Stock rom :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Awesome. Any specific reason why you chose to stay with stock over iced?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
There are some apps that I actually use from stock and enjoy.

Also...from what I have read..each custom rom has its ups and downs...so id rather stick to something I know that everything is working properly and mod it up to my liking

With amazing developers such as Faux....their work allows me to have the best of both worlds. A rom that I know is stable and functions properly..with customizations that I put into it.

Oh yeah....and just in case there is a OTA update...i know it won't cause issues :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brwnohno:
Faux, that's a no go on the lockscreen with gorillas DHD and the 8.5 version of your kernel. I bet I unlocked my phone 50 times before my lockscreen started freezing again this morning. Makes no sense why it suddenly starts after so many successful unlocks. Anyhow, I'm back on 7.6. My wife is currently running your 8.5 on evils DHD, I will report when she gets home if she had similar issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] feliciepr7:
I have the new 0.8.5 LV #95 and every thing respond well also I notice that is fast and smooth. My wifi works fine, connect fine and all my widgets load fine, awesome! Just follow instructions and thats it!

Thanks Faux.

Lock Screen comes on during a phone call

I searched this thread and didn't find a hit on the following issue.

I just took my first phone call after flashing v0.8.5 SV. All went well with the call. It was about a 5 minute call so after a minute, the display turned off (expected, based on my 1 minute setting).

At the end of the call when I clicked my track pad to wake my screen, the lock screen appeared. This is not expected behavior. On Ice Glacier v1.1.4 w/ Gorilla's 'stock' v05 kernel or on stock ROM, while on a call the display will turn off but once you wake the screen, you're right back at your phone call.

Info:

- Receive an incoming call

- Talk > than your 'turn display off after' time (in my case, > 1 minute)

- Wake screen (in my case, via track pad)

- Lock screen appears

Also, this is the stock lock screen and I have not replaced it, manually deleted any .apk's via Root Explorer, etc. I'm not using any launchers. The only 'mod' I have is Pack's sliver round battery mod. If I revert back to my IG 1.1.4 backup, I do not experience the lock screen coming on during a phone call.

Let me know if you need any further details.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Thank you for the detailed info.... I have Evil D's Desire Z installed and I have BOTH the facebook from HTC and official facebook apps installed on my phone and I didn't have any issue with Accounts & Sync as you described here....

The kernel deals mainly with very low level (software/hardware interface) device drivers and scheduling of I/O and execution threads, Accounts & Sync is a part of the Framework (which is a part of the so call "ROM"). I cannot distinguish who or what is using services provided by the kernel, therefore kernel has no awareness of Facebook/Accounts & Sync.

This might be a hidden issue with the Ice Glacier ROM, now exposed by installation of new Kernel. Many times, ROM Devs/Cookers would put things together from various sources and would apply optimizations such as Zip Align and De-ODEX techniques (both are done with assumption of a specific memory structure - SLAB vs SLQN, I/O - CFQ vs BFQ, scheduling architecture CFS vs BFS, in another word Kernel :D ) and test them against a default Kernel (in this case, Gr8Gorilla's Kernel version 0.5), and if everything looked smooth and well, then the Devs/Cookers would release the combo as a single package.

Take Ice Glacier 1.1.6 as an example, TeamSilence optimized his original Ice Glacier against Gr8Gorilla's v0.5 kernel, so when he originally update Ice to 1.1.5, he also updated to Gr8Gorilla's v2.3 kernel, but the two didn't play well together and TeamSilence didn't want to start over and re-optimize the entire package for the new kernel (very time consuming work, give the ROM Devs/Cookers some credit here ;) ), so in version 1.1.6 TeamSilence decided to go back to Gr8Gorilla's version 0.5 Kernel.

So the bottom line with most optimizations is that optimization is done by noting the Behaviors of the underlying architecture well. This comes at a cost, COMPATIBILITY is NO LONGER GUARANTEED. This is an eternal debate in software engineering: Do you optimize the App to the Operating System (kernel) or do you make your app generic and optimize the Operating System underneath...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
HAHA, what a coincidence... I was doing a code review last night, and I found couple of potential issues and one of them had to do with keyboard inputs and wake up interrupts :D I was thinking about doing a small maintenance release for it. Now I will DO the release :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I'm running Faux123's latest kernal (0.8.5) on stock ROM and it is buttery smooth! I can't really comment on battery life yet but it seems fine so far. Thank you very much for your hard work chef! Amazing work!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Noslice2002:
Good morning faux. I am running Iced Glacier 1.1.6. I installed v 8.5 lv last night. Wiped cache and dalvik. I have flashed nearly all updates to this kernel. This time my android os has used 61% of my battery taking it down to just over 50% in 6 hrs. Have never had this happen with any of your kernels before. Display is always the one that has eaten my battery. I have sent two texts, and checked xda once in those 6 hrs. Seems odd to be having this issue out of nowhere. I have debugging checked. I know that has been a problem on a few other roms. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Thanks for any help. Love what you are doing, and appreciate all the time and effort. I clock 1103 and 245, smartass governor.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I believe it's mentioned in the OP and also at least once somewhere in this thread although I glanced and didn't see it fully explained, but from what I understand LV just sets the overall voltage to be lower and SV is just that, stock voltage.

It's supposed to be one of the many little tweaks Faux123 has done to increase battery life. Hope this helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
After a day of use the flipped lockscreen has vanished..... 100% satisfaction
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kevin4144:
Kernal is working Great but i have a issue were non of my apps that i got from market are showing under my apps in market. Did a nan restore and ur working fine
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blitz911:
LV is for battery savings and performance at the risk of possible instability(not always)..SV is for stability n performance..that's my understanding anyway..if u can run LV kernel without any issues stick with that, otherwise, use SV...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
I'm loving this kernel.

I did experience the upside down lock screen but only three times.

Here are some screenies of my day so far.

I NEED HELP!!!

I am getting lots of requests to fix the STOCK ROM Upside down problems but only 1 person so far signed up as dedicated beta tester... I don't have STOCK installed on my phone and I can't recreate the problem at all....

Also, I need someone who has good memory to tell me which version started the upside down issue on STOCK ROM....

:(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blitz911:
I believe it was 8.0 where the upsidedown screen surfaced along with WiFi issues...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
I'll beta test. And I agree with blitz 911. About it being since 8.0
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I've been running 0.8.5 since release and I have had no issues with anything being upside down. I'm running stock ROM and I always delete the cache/delvik before applying new kernals. I fixed permissions last night just to be on the safe side but I don't remember seeing any problems before doing that as well...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Try holding you phone upside down and turn the screen off and on.

That's how i managed to reproduce the 'glitch'.

But like i said earlier it only happened to me about 3 times and I haven't had it happen again. So I don't know what it can really be.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I just turned my screen off with my MT4G being upside down and everything shows up properly. Auto rotation is enabled under display settings. I also enabled auto rotation in LauncherPro settings and did the same thing. Everything is working fine. I tried it about 5-6 times for good measure.

For the folks having upside down problems running stock ROM, which stock theme are you guys running? Maybe the problem lies when a certain theme is installed since the lock screens are unique to each theme?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I also tried to reproduce this, and couldn't get it to happen. I've already flashed v0.8.6 and tried to reproduce the bug on both LV and SV, and everything works fine, hopefully you got it Faux123.

(I'm on the zebra theme so I could apply the transparent lock slider through Metamorph.)

What is the double click optical pad feature? I'm on stock, and I tried both LV and SV to see if I could get it to unlock by double clicking, with and without a lock pattern, and it doesn't do anything. Is there something I'm missing?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Flashed v8.6 LV and SV and it isn't happening at all here either. I've turned the screen on and off, all kinds of angles, running different programs and nothing. Can't reproduce it either.

@DADDYDC650 I wasn't and am not running any themes. Pure stock.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I was talking about the stock themes that come with the stock ROM. During the initial setup process it always asks you to choose your theme.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
I had the flipped lock screen once with 8.5. I wioed cache/dakvik first.

After following the other steps and wiping both caches then fixing permissions, rebooting letting everything load then powering it off....once I startes it back up its been fine.

Faux123, oh my you have out done yourself. I've never experienced this kind of smoothness while scrolling and it's damn fast too. And you know what? I have a thick ass screen protector on my screen too. I didn't even know I have a screen protector on my phone.

Thank You
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Faux,

Both of your responses were absolutely frickin' fantastic. I love you. I'm not into dudes, 'cause I'm like, a dude and stuff. But I totally want to frickin' make out with you right now, not in a gay way though, in a "you are really an incredible person for dedicating your time to this and for being such a sincere person" kinda way. And stuff.

I am fine w/ the Facebook account itself not being in there, because Facebook for MyTouch is what's handling my contacts and avatars (and Google revoked FB's contact in their cloud anyway). I just wanted to report it in hopes that any information relative to (other than it making me pregnant) flashing the new kernel.

With the Lock Screen, it only happened on my first 2 calls today. I've had a few other calls since then and it didn't happen. Normal usage - answer, speaker, set phone down, talk for a few minutes, press track pad to wake. First two brought up the Lock Screen. The rest of my calls behaved as expected - i.e. I saw the call and the contact's avatar.

And I know it's a little soon to be judging battery life (I just flashed it last night), but I'm pretty sure it's helping. On days like today (with a few calls, etc.) I'd be down in the 50-60%. Not today though...

​

​

I'm pretty sure my CPU is staying MUCH cooler too. I read news via Pulse while I'm in bed and this little Glacier feels like it's gonna melt sometimes. I set it down on a nice, cool metal lamp base and let it sit once it gets to like 100. It hasn't gone over 90 while using Pulse and it's been chillin', literally, at 77.

Thank you Faux, thank you. If you need any testers, lemme know. I'm busy with my own business but I've been a software tester (professionally) for 7 years and I was the project manager for said software company that entire time. Whatever bit of time I can offer you, I will.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Dude, I toiled w/ using case and screen protector or not when I got this back in November. Since my first one was a dud, I figured I'd use it naked until my new phone arrived. By the time I went through the exchange process a few times, I had used the phone sans case or screen protector for so long, I couldn't thicken it up or tarnish this sexy screen.

Do you know how frickin' smooth this feels now with this kernel? Does anyone else just sit there and swipe your screens back and forth, just watching the smoothness? Am I the only one? Oh god this is so smoovvvv...
