Root [UPDATED 8/8/12]Breath of fresh air....an update

[tdm]

Finally figured out how to get the p930 ics kernel to load initramfs. The problem (as always) was a silly little thing that I missed:

BOARD_FORCE_RAMDISK_ADDRESS := 0x41a00000

My itty bitty fbcon is now telling me that the kernel booted, loaded the initramfs, and init is doing stuff. Unfortunately, adb is not functional. But this is a great step forward!

WE haven't heard from weblexa since he got his device. I wonder what he's up to.

seems like there are a couple we havent heard from. i think 2 or 3 were dependant on having cm7 or cm9 in order to do their thing.

 

[artcwolf]

Lol.. I got a bad behind rom called alien droid for my nook tablet complete gui customization and jb what more could you want? infact I'm updating it tomorrow.

Where'd you get this rom? I've only found CM9 for my nook color

Death2all110 was killed off by the mods..

Death2all110 was killed off by the mods..

But he worked his butt off to get us where we are today. I myself pour some out for him, my lost homie.

 

[death2all111]

Now if someone could convince them to take the perm ban off even if it was a 7day ban that'd be okay.... I miss all my stuff...

D2A does the number at the end signify times reborn?

Good shiznit. Death there will always be haters, I just don't understand why people just can't go with the flow.

It seems to me like the mods just like to come in here and try to control/censor what we can and cannot say, whether a thread has gotten off topic and needs to be moved. I mean I think we have a nice, small community that doesn't really need constant patrolling. I mean what did d2a do that was so bad and worth him being banned...well repeatedly? I'll probably wind up banned like d2a for saying this lol but I think it needs to be said/asked.

I'd love to know as well. Anyone that wants to hit me up in PM, cool. I understand mods can censor us (it's their right as owners of the site), but why does he keep getting banned? I've never seen him do anything worth banning... ignoring when he goes on rants? maybe... but we all rant and babble.

 

[imnotmikal]

Wow...
Death is nothing but good peoples, I don't get why he was banned either.

Since he can't come do it, I'm going to invite you all the IRC channel, maybe you guys can keep the discussion going there.

Click here:

Or join server irc.freenode.net and channel #spectrum with your own IRC client.

this website got hacked because of a known exploit. i had to change my password. i should have banned myself from this website. weak! a known exploit?!?! come on. instead, i keep coming back because of a few awesome people. ban those and i don't come back. that is a few less clicks that equals a few less dollars. known exploit. hahaha. now they want to get uppity and ban people.

 

[darkXshadows]

Lets try this again shall we!?

If my main account doesn't get unbanned Im moving this discussion elsewhere.

I've already warned admin.

I'm tired of the butthurt BS.

Hey darxshadows....i tried to get into to spectrum irc but it didnt load, whats the deal yo?

You guys are out of control. Just chill. You have no right to complain about the rules because this site/forum doesn't belong to you.

If I invited you in my house and required that you abide by certain rules while there, you would have no grounds for a valid or legitimate complaint if I kicked you out based on a disregard and/or disrespect of me or the rules.

And don't think I'm taking sides, I know death pretty well (for someone I haven't met in real life) based on a lot of personal conversations we've had, and I think I even know why death went off. And I'm sure death knows I'm not attacking him because I'm not that kind of person. I am just looking at this objectively and the truth is death even knew that his outburst would most likely result in a ban. I really hope death original account gets unbanned because he is a valuable part of this forum. But we all must play by the rules whether we like them or not. I've been annoyed a few times by certain things admins have done as well, but we are in someone else's house, and we must respect the house rules no matter how silly they seem. None of us are forced to be here.

PS. The admins did say if you have a complaint then pm them. I think that would be the wisest course of action. Let's try to act like adults here people.

Well said. Too bad I missed this 'death2all110' guy. Seemed like a real character. xD

I'm actually surprised by your response imu, but guess it is what it is...man i do hate that cliche..lol. Well androidforums, i think you are gonna loose a lot of members after this debacle.

For the random reboots, try setting I/o scheduler to deadline.

 

[MrB206]

Honest question here.... Why? I changed it to that and it immediately rebooted.

 

[real0325]

Today I was reading about what the schedulers do, and I read that the deadline scheduler executes task /required ram at a moments notice. Which keeps the phone from overload, and my wife called me today complaining about 6-7 reboots within 30 minute window. So I decided to do some fiddling and sure enough the scheduler was set to noop. So tomorrow I will have run multiple task to see what happens, and I will report back.

I think I'm getting close to finding the issue with adb. It seems the usb port is not being initialized correctly due to some code differences between the two kernels in the function msm_hsusb_ldo_init().

Found the problem with msm_hsusb_ldo_init(), it was a config issue. Unfortunately, adb still isn't available for some reason.

 

[darkXshadows]

Have you shoved ADB into the Init.rc? Also, If you do make an Organization Add me.
