I made a restart but it was because instagram freeze my phone some times and my status bar disappear, but no luck ups

Bloodawn · February 1st, 2013, 07:44 PM

all my test builds will be for GB rom's only, once we get something final I'll do one for JB too.

If your going to be testing these please make sure after you flash it you leave your phone on for at least 3 full days without any reboots to make sure its fully stable.

beta build 3b: H4Beta3b.zip

added governor's
added scheduler's
disabled fsync
added zram and enabled it
added init.d support
renamed S07HYPER to S07HK and cleaned it up a little (delete the old file if you have it)
ext4 tweaks

jsmz · February 1st, 2013, 08:32 PM

I just checked, and the governor is still changing when the phone app releases its wakelock.

inkrypted · February 1st, 2013, 08:36 PM

I am flashing it now. I think it might have been all the stuff I had running in the background. I turned alot of that off and have not had to a pull since.

zram in the current build will help with that too.

I don't know whats going on with that. it seems to be the OS that sets it back to ondemand when the call ends, and if thats the case I don't know if theres anything I can do.

jsmz · February 1st, 2013, 09:09 PM

Yeah, i think it is the system. I have been using "no frills cpu" it has an option in settings to make that file read only. It doesnt seem to be causing any issues. Im not too worried about it, was just letting you know.

Bloodawn · February 1st, 2013, 09:26 PM

build 3b, not bad for 1360 mhz.

jsmz · February 1st, 2013, 09:33 PM

Nice. Ive noticed a much more friendly cpu history... my temps are staying lower too. very nice.

PolloJack · February 1st, 2013, 10:01 PM

The test begins... nowwwwwwwww.

I'll have to give that benchmark app a try some time. Here's hoping for the best.

I'll really be giving it some use in a few days when I update my 32gig sd card with my ~20 gig music collection.

jsmz · February 1st, 2013, 11:28 PM

I just had my cpu stick on my max setting (1200) while charging. just so happened to have it on my lap & felt it getting hot. All I had to do was unplug it, turn the screen off then back on then plug it back in and it was back to acting normal.

what gov?

edit: I put together a fix for your gov switching problem for the next build btw. It will have to be manually enabled in the init.d script tho.

jsmz · February 2nd, 2013, 12:11 AM

I was using ondemandx/ sio, 220/1200, no profiles.

Thanks man. I just had time to completely wipe & start fresh today so Ive only had it running a couple hours but it feels good.

joshk1025 · February 3rd, 2013, 01:46 PM

I have had beta 2 running since it was released - haven't had to force a reboot in that time. I did drop my phone and have the battery fall out though, so it wasn't running the entire time. I'm about to flash Beta 3b, and I'll try to avoid turning it off. Thanks for the builds!

tombob · February 3rd, 2013, 09:16 PM

I had to do a battery pull this evening after running 3b since friday evening. I was reading some threads in tapatalk and it locked up and I got a black screen. Waited a while but it wouldn't come back.

what were your gov and max freq set at?

shidroid · February 3rd, 2013, 11:57 PM

I have as well had a lockup on 3b. Gov was Smartassv2 and freq was 1000. i/o deadline. Same daily pattern of activity as other betas.

jsmz · February 4th, 2013, 02:26 AM

Mine also just locked up on me. listening to pandora with the screen off, the music stopped and the screen wouldnt come on. right around the 50 hour mark. Same cpu settings as before ondemandx/ sio 220/1200 no profiles.

Also had the cpu stick on 1200 again while charging last night.

I was running sio/ondemandx at 220/1100.

Bloodawn · February 4th, 2013, 10:32 AM

can you guys switch the gov to ondemand and see if it still locks up?

edit: also delete anything in /system/etc/init.d except for S07HK

inkrypted · February 4th, 2013, 10:55 AM

I had to do a battery pull. It has locked up while initiating a call, adding a calendar event, and while starting google talk. SmartassV2 with SIO. 1200 Max 220 Min.

Ok I did as you suggested. Changed scheduler to noop along with ondmand govenor

jsmz · February 4th, 2013, 11:49 AM

Ok, just switched to ondemand/ deadline. Rebooting now, will let ya know how it goes.

shidroid · February 4th, 2013, 06:13 PM

switch as well, will report back.

Tito23p · February 4th, 2013, 09:43 PM

First luck up while listening music, Smartass2/sio too.

shidroid · February 5th, 2013, 01:15 PM

Have no had a full lockup yet but significant near lockups with 3b using ondemand gov 1000. Screen taking time to turn back on/no response from any apps/audio stopping.

jsmz · February 6th, 2013, 12:39 AM

Yep, just had it lock up on me with ondemand. just over 24 up hours with ondemand.

Edit: sorry man I switched back to ondemandX/ sio right after the lockup. lol battery life with ondemand pretty much blows in comparison!

PolloJack · February 6th, 2013, 10:14 AM

Been running b3 since Feb 2nd at 12:01 am.

220 - 1200 with smartass v2 and noop set via System Tuner Pro.

I primarily use AMP to play music about 1.5 hours out of the day, during my drive to school.

If you want more info I'll try and get back to you thursday when I don't have to deal with quantum mechanics homework.

Bloodawn · February 6th, 2013, 10:52 AM

well thats interesting lol, 2 people with lock ups after 24 hours but PolloJack's has had it running for like 96 hours and mines been on for 65 hours.

I guess I'll finish build 4 and see how it does.

inkrypted · February 6th, 2013, 12:21 PM

Add me to the list blood. I made all the adjustments as you suggested but had lockups when answering calls. I have also had sluggish performance when waking. The phone not me I am always sluggish after waking.

Bloodawn · February 6th, 2013, 03:13 PM

all my test builds will be for GB rom's only, once we get something final I'll do one for JB too.

If your going to be testing these please make sure after you flash it you leave your phone on for at least 3 full days without any reboots to make sure its fully stable.

beta build 4c: H4Beta4c.zip

added bfq scheduler
removed ramzswap since its not used
removed some ext4 tweaks for now
cleaned ramdisk a little
undervolted wlan
added PermaGov to S07HK (follow the instructions in the file to enable it)

the kernel installation now gets rid of any script in /system/etc/init.d except for HK's that way I know they aren't causing the lockups. so DO NOT add anything to init.d and DO NOT use any apps that change or tweak anything other than the frequency/governor/scheduler while using my beta kernels.

inkrypted · February 6th, 2013, 05:20 PM

The test begins now so hurry get to the chopper!. 5:18PM Wednesday February 6. Oh Blood I always wipe cache and Dalvik Cache when I update the new kernel is that going to interfere with testing and can we use different governors and schedulers now cause I’m using savagzen and noop.

The wipes are fine and you can use what you want now. I just had to make sure it wasn't a governor problem you guys were having with beta 3.

PolloJack · February 6th, 2013, 08:10 PM

Small update, my homescreen has become unresponsive while playing music. I can still pull down and work the lock screen, unlike HK v3, and just told it to reboot from the pull down menu.

I'll give 4b a try thursday afternoon.

Thanks for all the work BloodDawn.

Maybe a noob question... what's PermaGov?

Something I made up lol. Ever time a phone call ends android sets the governor back to ondemand. Setting and enabling PermaGov keeps the governor at whatever you set it to.

shidroid · February 6th, 2013, 10:30 PM

Installed, will keep informed. Any specific gov/io/mhz you would prefer testing with?

Ok now I get it for a second there I was worried. When you go to making stuff up I think you might need a few days off.

jsmz · February 7th, 2013, 02:10 AM

Ok, im getting it flashed asap. will report back.

Edit: I havnt had the cpu max out when charging since the second time. I flashed this kernel twice, just because I think my phones a bitch and it doesnt listen very well when i tell it to change kernels haha

jsmz · February 7th, 2013, 10:51 AM

Having some pretty bad battery life, lost 15-20ish % in 6 hours while i slept. also cannot connect to my router unless im standing right next to it. Literally I am 4 feet away getting a -85dbm signal. I have tx on my ddwrt cranked up to 90, so I usually can grab a signal a block down the street.

Nothing has been changed related to either wifi or anything that would drain the battery.

Also, the dbm signal in settings is your cell service.

jsmz · February 7th, 2013, 11:10 AM

Ok, maybe some jerkoff around here just bought a new cordless phone trying to sabotage my wifi haha

IDK what happened last night battery usage showed it spent quite a bit of time awake last night. Just rebooted to see if anything changes.

Oh I use an app called wifi analyzer to see the wifi dbm

Tito23p · February 7th, 2013, 11:15 AM

Excellent battery drain on b4 ... No complains so far ...I'll posting some screen shots later.

Did you reboot your router and modem? That will usually fix any wifi problem unless it's the Internet itself.

Yeah, I usually reboot all my stuff once a week. I have it plugged into an outlet thats connected to a light switch on the wall so its pretty painless for me to do lol.

It seems to either be an issue with my phone, or with interference in the neighborhood because I cant find any wifi signals at all (usually i can see at least 8 to 10 routers) unless Im right next to the router, and then the signal is super low.

So yeah, pretty sure that someone around here got themselves a new shiny wifi buster.

Tito23p · February 7th, 2013, 07:00 PM

Battery drain last night...Amazing!

I am a novice at working with android but I do know alot about networking and open source router firmware and I believe that 70-84 mW is the recommended Transmit Power setting in DD-WRT and for good reason. Depending upon your brand of router and version of DD-WRT. I hope your not cooking your router. I have the Asus RT-N16 running Tomato Toastman Build and a setting of 60 mW works great.
