[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
preface: i'm no expert and i've had a beer or two, but this is something that's been bugging me for a while. = P

Obviously the linpack scores between the Hummingbird and Snapdragon is a huge difference, but 2.3 does not improve that (2.3 does appear to slightly improve linpack score, but I've seen more variation between various 2.2 roms than I've seen between something like Bionix V 1.2 or EDT's 2.2.1 stable beta and CM7). Both use the ARMv7 ISA, so a performance difference would be in the hardware implementation of the instructions used meaning that an optimization would be based on calling instructions that perform better for a specific task for a specific architecture. But since the actual instructions are the same, an 'optimization' for one hardware implementation would hurt another implementation of that same instruction set.

This sounds unlikely.

First, it is unlikely that Google is trying to optimize which instructions are called in which order just to improve a specific hardware implementation.

Second, without really bloating android or leaving this up to the hardware manufacturer in kernel development, this is not practical. If it's left to the hardware manufacturer and developing the kernel, then

they

should be trying to optimize. Otherwise Google wants to cover as much hardware as possible with as little code as possible (and thinking more about this, it's probably left up to the manufacturer; to elaborate the current kernel for Ubuntu 10.10 is 139MB which is the size of some Android ROMs and covers a vast array of hardware, most kernels for the Vibrant are in the 5-10MB range).

Now this leads to JIT, which really falls to the same pitfalls. Android apps are based off Java, Java is a hybrid language that is compiled and interpreted. JIT basically compiles parts of code that are commonly ran in an application to reduce interpretation (because interpretation is slower). But in compiling it, it's still going to eventually be compiled to ARMv7 instructions. I'm not exactly sure how the Dalvik JIT is implemented, but my guess is that since APKs are already 'compiled' it compiles parts of the APKs that would normally be interpreted to machine code and compiles them for faster execution. In which case, this is still the ARMv7 ISA and the difference between the Hummingbird and Snapdragon is hardware implementation, not software.

So, i don't see how some optimization specifically for the Hummingbird is likely or plausible (and keep in mind that Moto uses the OMAP, which would require optimization as well).

There's my rambling, for now.

My battery on my 10i is acting kind of strange.

It has happened several times now that the phone even when charged from the charger that comes with the phone, not from a pc its not charging properly.

I wake up the phone is on 100% i deside to "snooze" for an hour when i then get up the battery was on 40%, still in the charger :confused: Today almost the same only that i woke up to a battery that was on 94% even after 8 hours of charging.

Sometimes the battery life on it is good other days its not. Iv checked if there is any program running that is consuming an awfull lot of power but there aren't.

Is this the battery failing?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silooy:
What you can do is install xrecovery from Z on it. And then charge is to 100% and run the reset battery fron xrecovery.

Btw, when u charge the phone it is normall that it will drop a little bit when it's at 100%, it will go down to maybe 95% and then up again.

But a drop from 10u0% to 40% is not healty.. you could download the app SystemPanal. it will monitor what your phone is doing and thereby also your battery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] U5tabil:
I have xRecovery on it and i did the reset battery, even did a new rom update. and i use the systempanel pro for monitoring to see if there is anything that is consuming to much power but i haven't found anything yet.

its now gone from 94% to 90% (wifi on) since i got up for about 2 hours ago. Not that bad now it seems. But sometimes it just drops and drops.

Maybe i should just get a new battery, they aren't that expencive.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silooy:
Well 4% with 2 hours is good with wifi on. But yeah it's weird that it drops that hard sometimes. Probably the battery itself then..

How much is a battery btw?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] U5tabil:
For me i see it is around 220NOK wich should be around 40$ around 4 beers...

[General Questions and Answers] americium:
Hello guys!

First of all i want to say that i love this board - so many people who try to make my life easier :-) since i have my first Android Phone (HTC Desire).

Yesterday i flashed the new Oxygen ROM to my Desire with new HW Revision and now i have troubles synchronizing my work-emails... i can't use the ROM without that... with the original HTC 2.2 Froyo (with Sense) it was no problem to synch!

Now i have the error message that my phone doesn't support the security settings which are neccessary ... i tried another email.apk but no one worked...

Does anybody have a solution for that problem ?

I tried touchdown and it works with touchdown but i don't like that app...

Hope anybody can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys , if you look at my thread history , you can probably tell that im on the quest for the perfect WP7 (metro) UI setup. This led me tonight to whip together a flashable .zip for the stock WP7 sounds . These are just the notifications and ringtones. If there is any interest at all , i might do the actual system sounds as well . I know a lot of people hate on bringing elements from other UIs over .... this is for the people that dont .

As always , not responsible for anything that happens to your phone , blah , blah. Always backup before you flash. Flash in recovery . Voodoo/NonVoodoo , doesnt matter.

Been tested by several as working fine, let me know if there are any issues .

Is there any way to get ext4 without the use of a computer? can i just download a ext4 rom and flash it through clockwork mod 2 to get ext4? Help Help Help!!!
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I don't think its possible. Why can't you borrow someones box for 10 minutes? Now having said that you could do it the old fashion way with ADB.

Another thought here: dl the update zip from samsung to go to eb13, but your still not rooted. Another option would be to search for an app called heimdal <sp?> that can be used instead of odin.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
Hello community,

This is a build of the Savage-Zen kernel.

I recently became part of the Savaged-Zen team, building, supporting, and maintaining the noSBC version of their kernel.

Savaged-Zen SBC Thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938790

PLEASE READ ENTIRE OP

I recently built a noSBC version of the Savage-Zen kernel. After some thought, I decided that it wouldn't take too much to become the support/builder for these kernels.

I just have a few rules:

Do not bother the kernel devs about the noSBC kernels UNLESS you are having an issue thats inherent to the build

Do not request other versions on this thread. FroYo, SVS, noHAVS, etc. I'm building and supporting two versions only, CFS and BFS noSBC.

I do not own an Incredible so I cannot test these builds. You shouldn't run into any issues because they are built off of the same exact source code as the SBC versions, just without SBC.

Each time a new Savaged-Zen build is released, I will build a noSBC version and update this thread. Remember, the noSBC builds are not built by the kernel developers themselves and they do not support them. I am the support for these versions of the kernels.

Issues inherent to kernel:

If you are ever having an issue, and it's something that is not noSBC related, please post in the official thread. I'm not a kernel developer myself and therefore will not be able to provide support for things inherently wrong with the kernel. If it's a problem in the SBC build, it will be a problem in this build as well. Feel free to report these issues in this thread, but don't expect to get support unless you post in the SBC thread. That should be the only time you are posting noSBC related posts in the SBC threads.

issues with noSBC build:

If you are having issues with the noSBC builds (as in WiFi doesn't work right or something that works fine in the SBC builds doesn't work here), this is when I will provide full support. It's possible that I may make a build error, and I need you to test these. As I said earlier, I do not personally own an Incredible, I simply compile the kernels. If I broke something, please let me know ;)

If you need any kind of help, please feel free to email me at:

dev.mwielgosz@gmail.com

I'd be happy to assist!

I hope that you enjoy these kernels and will click ads or donate to the developers as they work very hard to build and support their software. :) Link is at the bottom of the OP.

Happy flashing!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] thess1:
I'm really excited for this kernel, I've always wanted to use savaged-zen but sbc has never worked correctly on the inc. This kernel is running well so far, however wifi is not working. Wifi status just says "error"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
This has been corrected.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
Which version did this happen on? CFS or BFS?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thess1:
Sorry, Im running the CFS version. Haven't tried BFS yet but I cant check for the error there too, if need be.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
Yea, please see if th error occurs in the BFS version as well. If it doesn't, I know exactly how to fix it and will have it up in a bit.

So can you explain all those acronyms and what the mean and how they affect us? I tried googling, but hoping for a laymen's type of answer, you know dumb it down... SBC, CFS, BFS, etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
SBC - Superior Battery Charging. Google "trickle charging" for explanation.

CFS - Completely Fair Scheduler. Standard CPU scheduler for Android.

BFS - Brainf*** Scheduler. More recent.

HAVS - Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scheduling. Voltage drops as CPU speed goes down in order to conserve power.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
The BFS version has been updated and should now work. Let me know if there are any issues. Compiling a new CFS version now.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
CFS updated. Please let me know if everything works ok. If something is wrong, please post a Logcat.

Also, if you want the BFS version, please download the one with the

'-signed.zip' tag at the end of the file. The original one will be deleted soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wicked_beav:
So I guess my question is, what is the supposed preference of most? SBC or Non-SBC?

Just wondering what is optimal I guess. Thanks for your response.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
It's up to you. A lot of people prefer SBC and trust it. I've been using it since it came out with no issues whatsoever, but some people prefer to use the stock charging system. I think that most people use SBC, but there is still a large percentage that would prefer it without. This is why I provide these builds.

What's nice about SBC is that when you pick up your phone in the morning, it's at 100% instead of dropping down to say 95% right off the bat. It reduces the amount of voltage going into the battery as it gets full and maintains it at a constant voltage.

Try both, see what you like better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Testing right now. WiFi works again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwielgosz:
Awesome, thanks for letting me know it works again!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] br125:
In the previous savaged-zen thread we had, those kernels SBC were not working properly. The first morning my phone dropped to 96% in the first half hour (which is an improvement) and the second morning my phone went from 100% to 37% in the first half hour.

The thread creator never acknowledged it.. I'm not sure that SBC has been quite figured out for the INC yet as this is exactly what happened the first time the Evo SBC was brought over to the INC.

edit: touche, after reading the OP not everything computed, then you asking if the same things were broken in SBC versions, I got lost. I suppose it's because I hope that SBC will work on the Inc one of these days, I'm sure there are many people who would test it here.
