Which version of Genocide .02a are you running? Is it the one that's currently in the OP, or the one that was up a couple days ago?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silent25r:
I don't know what I did wrong but I clearly did something wrong.

Currently running CWM 3.0.0.6 with EB13. I placed Genocide 1.2GhzOC EB13 Kernel v0.2b on my sdcard. Cleared data and cache 3x. Installed this rom and rebooted.

Upon reboot android appears in the middle of the screen. Looks like a graphic error. Tried wiping and reflashing twice now and I'm getting the same thing. Any solutions out there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
This is not a ROM, it's a kernel.

You're not supposed to clear data when flashing a kernel. Restore your data from your backup and you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silent25r:
That is what I did very first time. I was first thinking I was getting the error because I didn't wipe. Which was apparently the wrong thing to do because the error stayed. So I took your advice and restored my backup then tried to reinstall the kernel and again it didn't work.

For now I've flashed back to stock and I'll play with it a bit more when I get some time.

Thank you for the help Mattallica.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
No problem.

The Android logo is supposed to be there at boot. It signifies that the kernel enables boot animations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] compuw22c:
Ok, regarding Pandora (I believe I was the first to post about it being an issue), I saw someone mention there was an 'older' .02a (I thought version numbers were for that sort of confusion) so I tried re-downloading and installing it. That seemed to do the trick. It's playing now, OCed to 1.2. Might help just to call this fixed .2a .3, just sayin...

On another note, what are the chances of us seeing a 1.3 or higher kernel? Maybe have the links written out as words or something for the higher speeds if the concern is that people might get too aggressive without knowing to 'level up' slowly and understanding the risks. I remember seeing 1.3 kernels for 2.1 plus the controversial 1.6 kernel that seemed to not result in a real performance boost. I'd love to be a Guinea pig :)

EDIT: Sorry, upon reboot Pandora is broken again. Going to try .01...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
My pandora is broken also, FCs on startup.. cant try .1a bc im using the stock ROM with ext4..
[Epic 4G Android Development] compuw22c:
Actually .1a supports ext4. At least it does on my phone as it is running right now, @1.2 with pandora :) Can't rememer if I've rebooted since installing a 2nd time, last time .2a worked the first boot after cwm-flashing, but not after...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Actually, if the problem is what I think it is, the original variant of v02a should work with Pandora. But I deleted my copy of it when I was testing for issues on the stock kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Pandora works for me, and im running the original version of V02
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Thanks. I deleted my copy. Would you mind uploading it for us?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Yeah, sure. Hope this solves some issues :) This does NOT change anything in the "about phone" section. As far as i know, that was the only change between the 2 versions. So maybe that's what was wrong with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
That's correct. The newer version changes the Firmware version in "About phone". Many apps have features that are dependent upon being able to determine the firmware version. Pandora is one of them. Since the information in about phone does not reflect a registered firmware version, it freaks out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
I have pandora working. I'm using the .2 without changes in firmware.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Silent25r:
I haven't been able to get this working. I learned the problem was my backup and had nothing to do with this rom. Installed supernova and that's been pretty stable for me.

Going to try this out on the next update. I loved the viper roms I had in the past. I'm apparently too keneral challenged to get to work lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Just want to quickly share my experience using Genocide 0.2a Kernel on top of Bonsai 2.01 (DK28) ROM.

For the most part it has been a great experience. I have SetCPU on Conservative 200-1200mhz and my phone is very snappy (Quadrant 2450) and my battery life has remained very good. At least as good as without.

On the down side I occasionally while opening an app get a black screen (sometimes screen does not go black) and the phone freezes up temporarily. Sometimes this if very short and other times very long (a few seconds up to probably about 40 seconds).

While for the most part the experience is great, this lagging/freezing is happening enough to be an inconvenience, so for the time being I am going back to stock Bonsai 2.01/Kernel.

Not sure if it would work better if I was on EB13 or not, but I am holding out for the updated Bonsai (EB13) ROM.

But I want to say thanks for the Kernel as it has been fun to play with, and I hope to be using it again soon. I will try it again with the new Bonsai ROM when it comes out (maybe it will be included).

Cheers
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Pjjohn, I'm on bonsai and been on .1 then.2 first release since. I dont experience any issues. I just reason use setcpu for oc and uc. It had been great.

I wished I could figure out what is wrong for you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
well was going to be within the hour...i've been gone all day helping the in-laws move so i want to see about these pandora problems...i'm going to take a few to look into why
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
You on the eb13 or dk28 modem on bonsai?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
We think it was narrowed down to when you changed the "about phone" section. Running the older version of .2, that doesn't have that changed, doesn't seem to have the problem. Just throwing that out there :) Good luck though. I'm eagerly awaiting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
you are exactly right...and now i just fixed it :)

stay tuned for 0.3a within the hour

for those curious...apparently when setting the Firmware version in about phone...you can't have spaces...but underscores work! (and so does Pandora)

Sorry for not searching, on my phone. I downloaded, flashed and my phone bootlooped at the samsung screen, had to go back to 0.2. Any ideas what went wrong?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Silent25r:
I have a question. I didn't realize my flash to this actually worked since I cleared my data so many times and then flashed a new rom on top of it. If I didn't want this keneral how would I remove it?

I am glad that I do actually have it. But just wanted to know if removing was possible.

Edit: read the patch notes on supernova and they are using your kerenal. That makes a little more sense. Will I have issues if apply the update since they are using a modified version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakens6:
Hey guys,

Ive got a weird glitch going on ever since i flashed the Genocide kernel on top of the enhanced stock EB13 rom

Both animations, the custom one from the rom, and the stock Sprint one, are trying to play simultaneously, and its really weird.

I tried to flash a new custom boot animation, and all that did was replace the one, the sprint one is still trying to play over the top of it.

Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
You mean the "android" logo playing over the top of the regular sprint boot animation? That's a known bug.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Alkah0liK:
Just my findings but I'm sticking with 0.2a. Pandora 1.5.4 works, no camera or other force closes.... my experience and constant monitoring over the past two days is uninstall of set cpu and letting the kernel rock out "stock" has fixed black screens, freezes and lagginess. Set cpu seemed to be the culprit for me!?!?

Opera Mobile

Pinch to zoom in Opera Mobile does not work in 0.2a or 0.3a, but works fine in 0.1a.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
The high scores come from using ext4.

Don't worry about it, the speed difference isn't really there in rea life. Also, quadrant is a terible benchmark and everyone should just stop using it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpike:
Been on ext4 for 3 weeks and unless you are saying the actual test doesn't consistantly measure the same thing on my phone each time I run it then its not garbage. I understand that you can cheat the test by making some mods like the ext4 filesys, but its still measuring the same capacity each time(but maybe you are saying it doesn't).
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I think its still useful if measuring the same phone. If I do something to my phone I run quadrant to see if.it.got faster. Its just not.good for comparing two different phones.

[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
I believe this question was asked, but I never found an answer to it. Why is that the processor never settles at 100MHz? It always rests at 200. When my batt gets low, I use setCPU from 100MHz to 800, but it never actually goes to 100...

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
A few answers for people...

Too flash a kernel all you need to do is flash it, no wiping. A backup is always good when you flash something, but you don't need to wipe!

SetCPU - Do not use conservative that is what is causing most of the lag problems. For our phones the best option is to run on demand. Set your range 200-whatever your top. 1200 for speed 1000 for battery. Again for our phones on demand is the best option not conservative.

"Weird" android logo at the beginning - this is built into the kernel in order to show that the kernel supports custom boot animations. If your sprint boot ani is trying to run along with the android one try this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779755
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Exactly... people shouldn't get too hyped about a 1.4 or 1.6 etc... Many epics struggle to handle speeds above 1.2, some can do it, but not all. Additionally the kernels from before, that were supposedly 1.6 were actually tricking the cpu into thinking one second was actually 1.3 seconds long so the it thought it was running at 1.6, but it really wasn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:

Yes, saw it on 0.2a too. Can't remember if it did so on 0.1a,but I think so...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
it is kernel test builds...nothing official yet on 1.4ghz...when we get it all sorted out and tested good then we might merge it into the Genocide code...but like was said earlier some phones struggle to do even 1.3GHz so 1.4GHz isnt likely for a lot of people

also i'm not going to merge code in that will purposefully give us fake higher benchmark numbers...so we have a bit of testing on it first

Things are good for me on Genocide .3, still checking battery life.

One odd thing for that happens after flashing is that on reboot my Folder Organizer folder widgets mess up and I have to delete/recreate them after each reboot.

Happened once on Genicide .2 and I had to reflash bonzai rom and genocide kernel to fix. Now after flashing .3 it is happening again. No buggy, just sharing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
correct ...i plan on doing the undervolts just havent gotten around to them yet since they take a lot of time to test and make sure they are stable

also it does seem that the kernel is not dropping all the way down to 100mhz...so i'm looking into that
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
You should be able to edit the EXTRAVERSION vriale at the top of the Makefile in the root of the kernel source. Whatever is in there should be appended to the version string. At least it is for x86, I've never compiled for arm.

yeah i tried that..and wen't a little deeper trying 2-3 other things but they didn't work either...then i found the firmware which i don't see is a problem using since the kernel version is correct and your bios and root filesystem is what you flash...which to me is firmware

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You don't have to have setcpu, but it is easier to control if you do. By having setcpu you can set the kernel for battery life (100-1000) or for speed (100-1200). Also make sure you use ondemand not conservative. On demand works better for our phones and you will have slightly better performance.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Why doesn't anybody read the threads?...

The android logo is showing that this kernel supports custom boot animations. Since you have not installed a custom rom you are seeing this kernels animation and the samsung logo. You can either live with it because it won't hurt anything or flash a new rom.
