Redstar's N1 CM7 AVS kernels: http://redstar.euroskank.com/

You should probably go DOWNLOAD some wallpapers too.....

Looking for the morph? Try using an awesome CM7 theme engine apk like HONEYBREAD! But it's on my server if you really want it and look real hard...

One thing you should add to your first post (if you really want to keep the mindless blabber to a minimum) is that "advanced" users should leave the moderating to the moderators. If someone notices a post from a "newb", try to ignore it (or simply hit that report button - call it spam) and let the moderators clean the thread properly.
[Nexus One Android Development] redstar3894:
Woohoo! :D

Fits returns to cook Bacon and print money! Glad to see the return of gigglebread ... :p

FWIW, I agree that the moderating should he left to the moderators.... that's what they are there for, after all.... :)

No matter how much someone may deserve to get flamed, its probably better if we stay on topic here... sometimes actions (like ignoring someone) speak much louder than anything that we can type out here.... :rolleyes:

Now, about that wonking problem.... :p

I got my highest quadrant score from this rom, it runs as smooth as butter 1820
[Nexus One Android Development] ilos:
quadrant advanced work for you ? oO
[Nexus One Android Development] chillwill11:
Yeah actually this is the only rom that it works 8/10 times. Other roms it would force close.
[Nexus One Android Development] redstar3894:
If fits doesn't object, I'll engage in a little shameless self-promotion here.... :p

While my kernels don't fix the wonking problem (yet), they do run especially well on this ROM and others like it.... :D

So if anyone is looking for something different, try flashing any of the "-CM7" kernels in my mediafire folder or the latest one is usually in my signature....

I'm either running them with fits' gigglebread or on a build I compile myself from github, so they should all be working with CM7 based stuff.... :)

I don't want to clutter up the thread too much, so if you have a kernel related question, please post it here only if it relates to this ROM, any general kernel questions, PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can...

Oh, and did I mention that my kernel increases the snapdragon's Bacon cooking efficiency by over 1000%? ;) :p

Bookmarked! Much obliged
[Nexus One Android Development] Garner:
Can you trmell me which one of the redstar kernels you are using please
[Nexus One Android Development] dc211:
With the 2.3.3 code merged I got a big bump in speed. On the 2.3.2 build I sat around the 1400's or 1500's in quadrant. With the 2.3.3 builds and IR's Kernel I get low 1800's.

I saw the screen shot and figured why not. Redstar's downloaded and installed Redstar's kernel and got my new high score with 1113mhz overclock.

Thanks Redstar! Now if I could only get up to maybe 1152mhz I can finally break 2k.

I just sorted his files by date and used 2.6.37.2_AVS-950mV-CM7_CFS-exp_20110303_0017 if anyone is interested.

Previous high score was at using CM 6.1 with Wildmonk's kernel and an 1190mhz overclock (or 1228mhz i forget) I got a 1904.

Hi, tomorrow I will be in NY for a couple of days and I want to buy a Motorola Xoom, is possible to use it outside of the Us? And if it's possible could I use my sim for the 3g connection?

Thanks you in advance for your kind reply
[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
If you buy it here, you will only be able to use it with WiFi. It doesn't support 3G sim cards.
[Xoom General] mcreego:
Sorry for the dumb question, it's a wifi only model the one sold in Usa?
[Xoom General] StuMcBill:
No, its Wi-Fi and 3G, but it is Verizon only which has the Verizon 3G "Sim Card" built in.
[Xoom General] chaoscentral:
no theres no Verizon sim card in it. There is a placeholder for where the LTE sim card will go once the upgrade happens, however at the moment its just an embedded CDMA radio
[Xoom General] StuMcBill:
Ah sorry, we don't have CDMA in the UK, so I wasn't 100% sure about it!

[Xoom General] gimj01:
I don't understand very well...It has a slot for SIM but only for Verizon's SIMs...?
[Xoom General] Product F(RED):
No. It uses CDMA. No SIM card. CDMA is different from GSM and it doesn't exist in Europe.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Basically you can use it in Italy over wifi as your data connection.
[Xoom General] knut150:
In the US there are basically 2 systems:

1-	CDMA which is used by Verizon (xoom). There is not chip to be attached by the user. However the Xoom has an slot for the upgrade to 4g and that is the slot that you see in the tablet.

2-	GMS used by other carriers and the standard in the EU.

You can use the xoom in Italy as a wifi only.

I currently have journaling disabled, but I'm experiencing some data corruption that might be related, so I'd like to turn it back on, using tune2fs I guess.

Has anyone done this successfully without reflashing?

Its not a good idea but if uoi want an answer just do a backup in cwm and then restore from that backup and it enables journaling.

What does journaling really do?

My girlfriend has this disabled on her epic and she says her internet sucks. Does journaling have anything to do with this?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Short answer no, nothing to do with internet connection.. just disk writes..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamTime:
I would prefer to have journaling enabled. I don't think the speed difference is worth the extra exposure to data corruption. Especially when I have a tendancy to drop my phone and have the battery pop out, or forget to dismount the drive when uplugging from the computer :p.

Is there an easy way to check to see if journaling is enabled (or disabled) on your phone? I am willing to try formatting the card, but I would like to be able to verify the results.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
if your worried about data corruption just do what I do.

Set titnaum backup to automatically back everything up at 3am(choose the time best for you). If you ever suffer from corruption just restore data from the night before
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
Open a terminal and run the following commands:

su -c ash

mount | grep ext4

(note the names of the devices /dev/block/stl**)

tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl** | grep features

(If a journal is present it will say "has_journal")

I'm with you that a journal should always be used. For better performance data writeback mode can be enabled using tune2fs but with a greater risk of data loss.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilesja:
Which data to format? In CWM there is:

boot

system

data

cache

sdcard

sd-ext

I am thinking it should be just format, boot, system, data, and cache, correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
Run the following in a terminal:

mount | grep ext4

Format the partitions listed. The mount points should be system, data and cache.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herzzreh:
Worked for me.

No journaling is a bad idea on a PC, I don't see how a phone would be different... the microseconds that you gain by turning it off isn't worth it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafronz:
Exactly. Apparently mysteryemotionz has the perfect epic that never random reboots. This is the only thing keeping me from using some of the better ext4 only roms like Bonsai. Even when I shut my phone down properly, upon reboot everything is corrupted. I don't want to have another app running that I dont need to just because somebody thought it was a good idea for us to let our phones rape themselves just to save CPU cycles.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
That's why I'm back on EB13 stock minus bloat plus Genocide.

These things corrupt so easily. It's not as simple as just shutting down properly with the menu.

I still get the occasional force close but at least it's isolated to the offending app on RFS w/journaling. On the Syndicate ROM I used and really liked, they screw up the entire system. That's not acceptable to me as an actual user of this phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
Im glad to see theres a push for stable phones vs. 2% faster than the next rom... I would love to see options, that way those who would like to run no jounaling, or even EXT4 altogether can, but the rest of us aren't drug along in an e-penis battle against the next high school kids superphone. I am NOT talking about the Devs here... let me make that clear, they can play with their phones all they want, see what they can get out of them, but they release and support what there is demand for... only makes sense. I think this whole issue was assumed moot when everyone in search for a teeny little more speed, and a bigger benchmark, shot down the push to keep RFS as an option blaming it on that wacky guy noobnl just being paranoid over a few blocks. It is true, the ROMs are becoming less stable, and mystery, while using TB is a very creative workaround, its not exactly a solution, a full ROM is the OS, should anybody HAVE to use a third party app just to make their phone stable? I feel like its the 80s again, enough nukes to destroy the world twelve times over, but still competing for who has more bombs...

Not trying to tell any devs what to do, or tell anyone else how risky of a ROM to run, but it is becoming obvious that these tricks are unstable, maybe the bad block count isnt higher, but yeah, I dont want to have to flash my phone every time some apps update locks it up, or if someone drops theirs... etc... Its just kind of getting out of hand...

Someone correct me if I am mistaken, but this is all linux based right? isn't everything case sensitive? so according to the usage example, it looks like you should have used an uppercase L instead of a lowercase L (unless the lowercase L is a seperate unlisted option)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Trust me my phone is far from perfect. Like its been said b time after time its user error that causes problems. The trick is to figure out what your doing and then take the steps to correct it.

Not all phones are created equally. Alot if problems I see happening are avoidable. My problem with my phone is it don't like to be over clocked. My phone would freeze causing me to battery pull. That's when I would suffer data corruption. Here's how I fixed it. I set a profile with set cpu to turn my phone down from 1.2ghz to 1.0ghz when my phone reaches 100.4 degrees.

The people that's having random reboot problems you need to figure out what app that's causing it and fix it. One of the apps is wireless teather. People are forgetting to select epic 4g in settings.

Another problem is people pulling the battery before the phone is completely shut down. Down pull the battery till the phone vibrates when powering off.

The 4 finger reboot is a hard reboot and may cause data corruption. Use the reboot option we the devs have been adding to the power menu or a app like quick reboot.

Like I mentioned earlier set titanium backup to automatically backup everything while your sleeping. It takes less then 2 minutes to restore if you suffered from any data corruption. This is something I even did while on rfs cause you never know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
User error, my ass. I'm doing the exact same stuff on stock as I was on custom. The custom needed reflashed constantly while the stock hasn't needed reflashed at all.

It's this blame the user attitude from devs that turned me off of custom ROMs completely. It's common knowledge now that disabling journaling makes your phone volatile.

Devs don't owe me anything and I acccept that, but my "steps to correct it" are those required to get the stock ROM back on my phone so I can get on with life.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdapunk:

Exactly. Though I'm amazed this thread hasn't been closed with a "This has been discussed already and nobody cares anymore" (in spite of multiple pages of supporting posts from users who desire more stability).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Its common knowledge that its the same 10+ users that want rfs. There was a pole taken not to long ago that 600+ users prefere ext4 with no journaling.

With out the user telling us what caused the random reboots and taken change logs we can't help you correct it.

Its not ext4 causing the reboots as its only a file system.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
We're not blaming EXT4.

In your world, "correcting it" is actually behavior modification to pussyfoot around the shortcomings of no journaling. I don't want to change how I do everyday things or stop doing certain things just because the ROM can't handle it due to a basic function being disabled. I want to use my phone normally. I want any and all crashes to be isolated as they should be. If I drop my phone and the battery falls out, I should be able to pop the battery back in, boot up, and go on my merry way. Thankfully I can...with the stock ROM.

I didn't know about a poll. I didn't see it, so I don't know how it was set up, nor did I get to vote. It's not difficult to set up a poll to get the results you want, and I wonder how many who agree with me didn't see that poll and thus didn't vote either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I see the save people posting in thus thread and no one new. There is only a handfull of people having problems. The poll was done by ptfmedic and was done a couple weeks ago.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
There are a few well respected devs that feel we should be sticking to rfs, and at the very least if we goto ext4 leaving journaling intact... noobnl dameon etc.. its not like saying no journaling is the end all.. it should be an option imo
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMMusic:
There may only be a handful of people that have been able to put 2 and 2 together and figure out what the solution to their problems should be and then bother to ask for it rather than staying on or going back to stock. Personally I think you are far underestimating.

It is easy to read through all of the ROM threads and point to dozens of people having problems that may have been avoidable with journaling on or on RFS. Which probably indicates dozens more that just wipe and reflash or restore per your (laughable) daily backup "solution" or who simply go back to stock or wander off to another ROM to try their luck there, but who never actually post about their problems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
I personally don't have any issues with journaling disabled, and I use the same backup strategy Mystery uses, mainly because I'm constantly testing new stuff all the time, but maybe there is a solution that folks on both sides of the coin may like. I'm wondering if it would be possible to turn journaling on for the data partition only(for the folks that are always janking up their data). I don't know enough about file systems to know if it could work or if it's even worth it, but just an idea.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I respect deamon as a dev. I can give 2 ****s about noobnle(that's a hole other story and I'm not getting into it again)

Having the option of no journaling Is something i agree on and it has been stated in this thread how to re-enable it a couple different ways. Its the people that keep saying that no journaling shouldn't be an option that erks me
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
That's probably because those who stick around here are mostly tuners/tweakers who made a hobby of it.

I'm not a developer or a tuner. I'm a guy who wanted to see what he could get from his device. Now that I'm settled on what works, I won't be around as much. I suspect many others like me are the same way. That's why polls on a site like this are skewed: you're asking the church choir if they like hymns.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
XDA is a place for tweakers, tuners, and devs. It's not for the average user. If you run your device with journaling disabled, the rules are simple.

1) Don't pull your battery.

2) Don't hard reset your device.

3) If your gonna run experimental stuff (Wireless tether beta, etc) and/or overclock, make sure you have good backups ready for when you have a lockup.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
You laph at my backup suggestion and here I am not complaining about data corruption ;). I treat my phone like all my computers. Do you know easy it is for me to write a apk that will delete your hole system on your phone and put that app in the market
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
That's the point of this thread. We don't want it disabled.

It may be a tweaker haven, but that doesn't mean average people can't and don't come here to get more from their phones.

"More" doesn't mean stupid fast but insane volatile. It can be that, or as little as learning to root to remove bloat.
