[ROM] [Huawei U8100/U8110/U8120] [Eclair] The Celestial Teapot RLS4d [2010-12-19]

The Celestial Teapot RLS4d
DOWNLOAD: TCT_RLS4d.zip
A ROM for made for and tested on Huawei U8100 Expert Sweden but has been confirmed to work on most, if not all, U8100/U8110/U8120 phones. T-mobile pulse mini U8110 needs an update after install (se end of this post).
This ROM was previously known and developed under a different name in the Swedroid forums and the Modaco forums
(btw, can we PLEASE get at least a generic Huawei forum at xda-developers?)
RLS4d
- RLS4d = RLS4b/c + overclocking fix
RLS4c overclocking fix
- There's a mistake in the frequency tables in RLS4c and the RLS4b camera fix that seems to affect some phones. This fix (attached) can be used on both RLS4b and RLS4c and will fix both the camera issue (RLS4b) and the overclocking issue (RLS4c).
RLS4c
- RLS4b + camera fix
RLS4b camera fix (attached)
- The camera fix replaces the kernel with one that uses the same PLL for overclocking as RLS3 did (PLL2). Appearently PLL1 is used by the camera so it wasn't safe to change it.
RLS4b
- New (QVGA hacked) version of market... propably needs a wipe.
RLS4
- New overclocking code in kernel, default speed is 633.6MHz but can be tweaked with SetCPU.
- Updated (and hacked) Market
- Updated several apps to latest version
- Removed Facebook (download it from Market if you need it) to free up some space in /system
- Replaced brut maps with latest official Google Maps (5.0.0)
- Propably something more that I've forgotten...
It's propably a good idea to wipe, since Market and Maps has been replaced.
RLS3
- Changed bootlogo
- Changed bootanimation
- Replaced Google Maps with modified version (brut17) Seems you need to do a full wipe after upgrading because the replaced Maps apk
- Updated DocToGo to latest version
- Added Flash Lite support
- Most likely updated something more that I've forgot
- Fixed a tiny error in the installation script that could kill USB-mounting if you go from stock ROM to my ROM without wipe:ing data.
RLS2
- Made overclocking code in kernel to be aware of those phones that runs at 600MHz with stock ROM.
- Added support for U8120 optical d-pad in kernel
- Added tun.ko module for OpenVPN users
- Updated LauncherPro
- Updated Roadsync
Kernel
- 2.6.29 based on kernel source released by T-mobile UK for the pulse mini.
- Slightly modified to work on non T-mobile Android builds.
- Added overclocking based on HTC Hero code by phhusson. Default install is NOT overclocked. Add overclocked kernel with update.
- Added swap support.
- Added compcache 0.6.2 swap free notify patch.
- Added LZO support (needed by compcache)
- Added EXT3 support (for better A2SD)
- Removed unused stuff, like PS2 mouse drivers, non-used touchscreen drivers and NFS support. The result is a smaller, but more useful kernel than before.
Android
- Android 2.1 based on the official U8100 Expert Sweden ROM
- Rooted with latest Superuser Permissions
- Fully odexed (system apps will not use dalvik-cache = more space on /data)
- Removed Launcher2
- Removed MyWeather widget.
- Removed TouchPal and AndroidKeyboard
- Removed ServoSearch
- Hacked a way around the "cust" system making Wifi work on other phones than just expert/se phones.
- Moved autorun.iso to /system freeing up 25Mb for apps on /data
- Added Darktremor A2SD 2.7.5.2 + swappiness bug fix.
- Compiled and added compcache kernel module + script to enable/disable compcache.
- No JIT by default but can be added with update.
- Hacked Vending.apk (Market) version 2006 that will greatly increase the number of available apps by faking HVGA (320x480).
- Fakes autofocus and more for more apps in the market
- Updated to latest Google Maps
- Updated to latest Google StreetView
- Added Launcher Pro
- Added Home Switcher
- Added the last flip-clock versionen of Weather widgets (yr.no).
- Added Googles News & Weather app/widget.
- Added HTC_IME & an AndroidKeyboard with Voice input support (also adds VoiceSearch).
- Added busybox with symlinks
- Added nano (texteditor)
- Added bash
- Replaced bootanimationen with a Nexus animation I resized for QVGA for another project.
- Replaced RoadSync with the offical upgrade you are allowed to download.
- Adjusted wallpapers in the original launcher to correct sizes and ascpect ratio for a QVGA device. May make them look a bit weird in the original launcher.

UPDATE 2010-10-10: New zip file attached that also fixes the GPS. (TCT_tmo_u8110_update_2.zip)
If you can't get a phone network connection after installing, install the attached TCT_tmo_u8110_update.zip. That update replaced the ril libs with libs that are compatible with your phone.
JIT
Adding JIT gives a performance boost but I choosed to make it an optional update as it can cause problems with some apps. So far we know some apps that uses the google maps framework crashes if JIT is eanbled. Use the attached TCT_JIT_update.zip to enable JIT. There is also an update to go back to non-JIT if you change your mind later.

Installation
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. (optional) Wipe data+cache before rebooting. It may or may not work OK to not wipe data but it's propably best to wipe.

Overclocking
EDIT 2010-12-17: Removed all overclocking addons as they are now(with RLS4) obsolete
EDIT 2010-11-09: Updated all overclocking files with the new bootlogo.
EDIT 2010-10-11: Updated all overclocking files with the optical d-pad fix för U8120 phones.
EDIT 2010-10-27: Updated all overclocking files with support for phones that run 600MHz with their stock ROMs
Overclocking code has been rewritten in RLS4. The new kernel defaults to 633.6MHz which I believe should work on all phone. Let me know if it does not.
Use the app SetCPU if you want to overclock above the default 633.6MHz(default in RLS4) overclock.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or downloaded from XDA developers
Be careful with the "Set on boot" checkbox untill you know for sure if a speed is stable our not. Most phones will propably find a stable frequency in the 672-710.4MHz area but some can go higher. The highest allowed in the kernel is 748.8MHz.

Compcache
If you are using are allready using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...

A2SD
(Only tested with AmonRA recovery image)
1. Backup your MicroSD card (IMPORTANT!)
2. Boot into recovery mode (see Installation instructions)
3. Choose to partition your SD card.
I recommend 32Mb for Swap and unless you plan to also move the dalvik-cache to the MicroSD card anything more than 512Mb for applications will be pointless as you will still be limited by the internal space for the dalvik-cache. You can of course use more space for swap if you have a large MicroSD card but I don't think it will make much difference but sure 64Mb won't hurt and on a 8Gb card you can afford it.
4. (optional) Convert EXT2 partition to EXT3 (EXT3 is an improved filesystem compared to EXT2).
5. Reboot the phone.
A2SD will now automaticly move your apps to the SD-card partition and enable your swap partition.
To change how a2sd works see this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021609&postcount=5
(a2sd jit is NOT supported in my ROM as I've choosed to provide JIT as an update instead)
NOTE: If you intend to use A2SD it's propably a good idea to enable it early. Some apps (at least my banking app) doesn't like being moved and have to be uninstalled and reinstalled if you move it from internal to SD or the other way around.
NOTE2: Don't EVER remove your SD-card while the phone is turned on if you use A2SD and/or swap.
NOTE3: Having your apps on the slower (compared to NAND) SD-card propably have a performance hit but I can't say I've noticed it when testing it. However I believe that if you also move the dalvik-cache the performance hit may be noticable.

Reserved for the future...

Hi there,
I saw you're post about the overclocking issue I have with the Vodafone 845 (huawei 8120) thanks for that.
So this rom should also be compatible with the 8120 ?
It seems you have added a lot of good stuff and I am going to try you're rom really soon.
I am also wondering if the overclock will work or do I still need to flash a 'stock rom' first?
Thanks for the hard work !

I believe it should. The kernel config from a stock U8120 that I recieved when doing the overclocking was identical to the one from a stock U8100 so I believe the phones uses the same hardware.

Yes, if you did the 600MHz hack your phone will use the wrong frequency array and I haven't adjusted that array. Also I am not sure what other effects it can have by using the wrong frequency array and I do not even now why the hack makes it use the wrong array. Likely some firmware has changed when you flashed the wrong UPDATA.APP and it's propably a good idea to get back to the one that was intended for your phone.
Thanks for the hard work !
Edit : Maybe it is me beeing not so smart again,but I don't really understand which .zip file gives exactly what speed in post #3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
652800 = 652.8MHz and so on... it's the speed i KHz as it is the format used in the frequancy arrays. Having digged into the acpuclock.c quite a few times now I took it for granted that everyone could see the connection but I guess I could make it more clear. Thanks for pointing it out.

I did a full wipe and partition sd with 32mb swap,512mb ext2,ext2 to ext3.
Flashed you're rom and everything seems to work great
You were right about the cpu reading though (still @ 600 Mhz) ..now installing 'stock rom' and hope the readings return to normal again.
Thanks again !
Edit : Tried to flash 'stock rom' but the update failed hlaf way,anyway my cpu readings were back to normal after flashing back you're rom (528 Mhz that is) after that flashed you're 691 Mhz zipfile and... It works !!!
Thanks a lot for the explanations ! really helpfull (I understand things a bit better now)
Now I have to do some testing if 691 Mhz is stable for this phone.
Do you have any recommendations (apps) for stress-testing ? (is setcpu stress test any good?)
I will report back with my findings.
Thanks once again

Not sure about stress testing, haven't done much of it myself really. But if 691.2MHz is stable then you may want to try 710.4. If you are familiar with fastbooting you can extract the boot.img and do a fastboot with a different boot.img without flashing it.
I suppose Neocore could be a good stress test on our phones since they lack hardware 3D and have to do all the 3D rendering in software.

Let me know how it goes, it should work fine just like old version unless the U8110 needs one of the touchscreen drivers I disabled in the kernel, but I really doubt it.

works fine for now .. gonna do stress test soon.

I did some testing and the 691.2 Mhz seems stable on my phone (VF845 - 8120) and since other available roms here are using you're 691.2 Mhz 'mod' we can safely say it is stable for this phone I think.
I also tried the 710.4 zip-file,but this resulted in a lockup in the boot-animation
A bit to much I think.
Anyway 163 Mhz more as stock speeds is still pretty amazing
btw. I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall some apps that come with you're rom ? I can't find them in the 'uninstaller'
Thanks
EDIT : Talking about overclocking got me thinking..Do you think it would be possible to undervolt in some kind of way to gain more battery-time (on lower cpu-speeds) ?

Hi,
Flash it to my U8100 but unfortunately it stuck on the booting animation.
Even when I flash the 633.6MHz update.
The phone works fine with your previous ROM (rls6_JIT I found at Modaco) and 633.6 MHz update.
Need your help to make A2SD works.
Thanks.

HI,
Works well on my t-mobile pulse mini,but gps not working.
runs fast at 652 speed ,please can you fix gps.

Overclocking
Here are a bunch of different updates with different overclocking speeds.
As far as I know most phones works fine with 652.8MHz. My phone works pretty good ad 691.2MHz but I had at least one random reboot so I went down to 672MHz. Some phones may even be stable at 710.4MHz but mine isn't.
If anyone needs a lower speed or even wants to try a higher one, let me know and I'll compile and update for you.
I recommend the app SetCPU if you want to do some tweaking like setting up different speed profiles.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or download from XDA developers
Explanation about the filenames.The numbers are the speeds in kHz. So 672000 means 672MHz and so on...

Thanks !!!

Good luck Ganesh

Great work Ganesh
But one thing about which I always think that all AOSP roms like cm7, cm7.1, cm7.2, cm9 & miui have same bug i.e. only picture mode is working in camera & no hd vdo recording. I know that in ICS its very difficult due to drivers not available for our chip. But at least in cm7 roms we must look into it. We must now concentrate on how we can get work done camera hd vdo recording by all possible ways. If once we achieve it all then it will be a big step for aosp roms
Its just my point of view guys. May be its wrong. Plz ignore it if u feel its not important.
Thank You

i totally agree with you,video rec is all we need to be fixed,would make these aosp rom's easy for everyday use,even tho i do use miui,i miss video recording,battery consuption is second place,everything else is not important.btw just i question i cant get dps manager to work,i get fc every time,i used dpsmanagerformiui.zip,also tried manually moving to system/app.

Good to c you work on cm7.2 will edit this post with feedbacks for all new versions u release downloading now
Edit-Flash procedure KPE+pit>kpu>universal cfroot by amit>CM2.7 zip>fact reset,cache,delvik,battery stats ! everythings smooth as butter ! gps shows 2 satellites at north and dont scatter seems like it needs gps tweaks ! battery is gud more bout battery later. music is same as in last version ! dsp works great no fc till now calls sms everything is great
Edit:2-v2 has several improvements .. audio quality seemed same to me. other than that the status bar is at the bottom (can b switched to back on top ) it has a soft back key the phone is definitely faster now ! VIBRATION IS FIXED apps launch 5x faster than stock roms settings has the option to enable mobile bravia engine dono if it works though and touch sensitivity is MUCH MUCH MUCH better now

Cool,i love CM kangs!Is this recompiled from source?
Btw,can u include some cherry-picks from gerrit?
Thanks

can install in any stock rom?

Its an issue. Looking into it.

Can someone pls confirm working of GPS by default?
It was not working for me and replacing gps.ko from MIUI V9 did the trick.
Also i flashed Vurrut kernel v3 and no issues so far.
Edit: Sorry - i didnt noticed shiroman's post on GPS, so think the problem is only for me. I didn't do a clean install probably that's the reason.
Thank you, Ganesh.

Can someone port this to our device ?

If "OUR" device means Samsung Galaxy SL, then if you read the OP properly you will get your answer.
If you meant for some other device then its best you ask in the section meant for your phone.

Any success for wifi tethering? Any solution?
via i9003, powered by JP_MIUI

No deep sleep?
At OP description says "Sleep Settings : 300/300/Powersave."
Do this means that phone have not deep sleep mode?

could u kindly improve the network connectivity as well?
thank you for your effort

DroidX CPU Governors and SIO Kernel Scheduler V2.2

Update 2012\05\16
Removed blank bootmenu folder
Cleaned up init script, removed unsupported lines, added supported lines
Included SD Card Cache Tweak with 2048 value, to match io tweaks
**The lines weren't supported on Bravo Froyo Kernel, added new lines from /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched**
**If the removed lines are supported on GB Kernel, let me know and I'll make a zip for each kernel.**
**Just remove the last 2 lines of the init script if you don't want\need the SD Cache Tweak**
Update 2012\05\15
Removed Undervolt settings -- makes zip universal for Defy, Defy+, Bravo, and Milestone
SIO IO Scheduler now properly loads -- no market app needed now.
I originally made this for the Bravo, my phone, but posted it in the Defy forums as well. Since they're getting good results, I thought you guys would like them as well. In theory, it should work with Bravo, Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, Cliq 2, Droid X, Droid2....basicly any phone with OMAP36XX and Froyo or Gingerbread Kernel (and same mount points as Bravo\Defy).
V2 Removed the Undervolt Settings, caused problems with GB kernel's 4 Vsels, and fixed it so SIO would load without a market app (original DX script didn't work right).
Copy of Original Bravo Post
This CWM compatible zip will install the DroidX smartassv2 and BOOSTEDassV2 cpu governors as well as the SIO Kernel Scheduler. While I've only tested this on CM9, it should work on ANY rom with init.d support and Defy 2nd-init Bootmenu....meaning all CM7\9 and Miui roms. I'm unsure if MS2Ginger and Stock Froyo have init.d support. It also undervolts the rom to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] Those values work fine with CM9 on my phone, meaning no fc's due from being too undervolted. -- Not Anymore
To install, simply flash the zip in cwn and you're done. Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache isn't necessary.
To use the Governors, select the governor in the CM Performance Menu and select apply on boot, or use a CPU Governor program from the market. I recommend No Frills CPU Control --- its free, no ads, no bs permissions, and you can select the io scheduler.
To use the SIO Kernel Scheduler, install No Frills Cpu Control from the market and select SIO (or noop) from the bottom menu. (Not Necessary Now)
I haven't used SIO very much (5-10 mins now), but it seems to be working well. The noop scheduler works great, and is what I normally use; but I've always read good things about SIO (and wanted to use it), so I thought I'd include it as well.
I'd give thanks to the authors of the Governors and Schedulers, but I have no idea who wrote them....I only found them in Beanstown106's DroidX Miui V4 rom and they happen to work wonderfully on the Bravo.

thx for this work but when i install this zip over cwm5 i become an "Status 6" error.

Odd. I flashed 3 times before uploading to make sure it worked. And it works on Defy and Bravo. Does the MS2 use --mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");-- to mount /system in roms?
I decided to recheck my scripting, and I left and forgot some () in it. I uploaded my pc's copy, and not the edited one on my phone. Oops, sorry. I'll have a new zip up in about 5 minutes.
New zip attached to the first post.

so the installation works. but wenn i select one of the governors it go´s back to ondamed. I use CM9 with GB Kernel.

I know that it works on Defy CM9 with GB kernel, and MS2Ginger with GB kernel as well. The Bravo only has Froyo Kernel so its impossible for me to test with it. The governors themselves came from MiuiV4 Droid X with GB kernel. Everyone seems to be using the BoostedAssV2 governor and getting good results with it.
Are you using the CM Performance Menu to set the governor? If so, try out No Frills CPU Control (free from market). You'll also be able to tell if SIO is loading with No Frills as well.
I'm curious if its a Milestone CM9 bug since it works just fine on Defy (& +) and Bravo CM9. Can anyone here try on CM7 or CM9 with Froyo kernel? Do you have CM9 with Froyo kernel?
Something to try is to open terminal on the phone and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_BOOSTEDassV2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_smartassv2.ko
(or use -- adb shell insmod rest/of/command)
and see if they load manually.

when i use terminal and tip insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_BOOSTEDassV2.ko it say´s "faild (File exists).
€: with no-frills cpu controll it works.
thanks.

Means its loaded.
I'd ask you to post a logcat, but after watching my logcat output, it doesn't explicitly show which governor is used, is being changed, or exact commands. Try SetCPU or No Frills from the market. A few Defy users use SetCPU, I use No Frills. One Defy user had to use System Tuner Pro to use them, but I don't think he read the first post correctly and was trying to load them from the bootmenu.
Try enabling "Load all Modules" in the CPU part of the bootmenu and Enable Overclocking from there as well. It shouldn't matter (Load all Modules) since the governors are loaded in an init script, but that's how my phone is right now, and the first script initially was. Also ondemand is the default fallback governor when nothing is used, which could explain why ondemand keeps getting selected no matter what you do.
lsmod (run in terminal) shows all modules loaded
Here's a screenshot of my lsmod

ok i found the mistake "Load all Modules" was disable.

So its working now?

i can switch the govenor with no-frills. but not over Settings->performance
but when i switch the govenor with no-frills to smartassV2 it shows me in Settings->Performance that it is SamartassV2.
sry for my bad english ;-)

At least its working now. That's a start anyways. Odd that its not in the CM Menu. They are for my phone and Defy.
How about sio, does it load properly? Just lsmod and it will be sio_iosched.

terminal shows me: "sio_iosched 3444 2 - Live 0xbf0d4000"
I think it works.

this really improves the performance of the phone? I install speedyv7! are similar?

Never heard of speedyv7 until now. I looked over its scripts and the only commands that are the same refer to the IO scheduler; which won't work on my phone (doesn't have the deadline IO or some of the io queue commands). The IO commands, other than using sio, are exactly the same so there shouldn't be any problems using them together. SIO will be the scheduler used if the scripts are used together since my init script loads afterwords.
FYI, SIO is a mix between the NOOP and DEADLINE schedulers and is supposed to be better. "Supposed to" are the key words, but SIO has been working great on my phone since I first installed it, though I haven't ran any benchmarks or tests to confirm anything between IO's, governors, and performance; but judging by how my phone feels now, sio and BOOSTEDassV2 make a good combination. Long ass sentence, huh; I suppose it's a triple compound.
Now I have to make a speedyv7 script for my Bravo, damn you
Thanks for pointing them out.

Currently installing v2.2...
Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
Installed, everything went smooth as silk.
I can set it from Settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > CPU Settings
I have had V6 SuperCharger for a month. Does SIO interfere somehow?

I don't think so. Maybe with Kick Ass Kernelizer since they both load an IO Scheduler, but whichever one is loaded last will have the settings stick. My script runs pretty early, so chances are its settings will be overwritten by KaK.
If you're going to use SIO, I'd rerun Kernelizer and pick "sio" to be safe.

Will this work with JB?

Yes, I tried it last monday.
I noticed less battery drain, specially when the phone is sleep.
Been using it on the smartass profile for now... gonna try boostedass tomorrow.
Froyo kernel here.

Hi I checked this with ICS 4.0.4 and when I install it through CWM all went OK.
Now when I go to performance settings of ICS i have 2 times 1000 mhz? I even did a clean install for verification.
So in short I have:
300 Mhz
600 Mhz
1000 Mhz
1000 Mhz
Any idea? I'm missing the 800 Mhz value.
Thanks!

It's not the Governor but the CM9 4.0.4 Bootmenu issue, as it is ported to MS2 from Defy and Defy only has 3 CPU frequencies, 3rd and 4th ones on MS2 are being duplicated by default.
Use Milestone 2 Toolbox or Bootmenu CPU Setting to introduce/change 800 Mhz and Vsel3 value that works for you.

[STOPPED] [GT-S7500] Galaxy ACE Plus - Custom Kernel (Stable) + OC Kernel

Disclaimer:
I don't take any responsibility if your phone explodes, your girl/boyfriend breaks up with you or any other stuff.
Do not flash on anything else than an GT-S7500! No L model or W model, else you get a shiny brick.
Don't forget your warranty will get void if you flash this trough odin. (Unless someone figures out a way to reset the custom binary counter)
So flash AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Based on official Samsung Sources. Governors copied from freexperia github. Other changes by me.
Features:
- unsecured
- smartassV2
- SavagedZen (beware: in sleep mode cpu speed is capped at 480Mhz)
- noop sheduler by default
- minimium frequency set at 122Mhz
- enabled 19Mhz and 61Mhz frequencies (use setcpu or similar)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tested with S7500XXLC2/S7500OXXLC1/S7500XXLC2. Flash with odin.
OC Build:
- Overclock frequencies seem to have the same performance but OC is indeed working, thanks to mb-14!
(Confirmed after many tests quadrant/setcpu/neocore cpu frequency is the same from minimal overclock to 1200Mhz)
- My phone as crashed 3 since I've overclocked it, so beware!
- Unless there is a better way of ocing, my newer builds will have oc disabled.
OC build v2 (31 May, 22h):
- Removed all overclock frequencies but 1200Mhz.
Bugs affecting all builds (even official ones):
- "Fuel gauge" might be bugged (maybe due to old/bugged samsung sources?) update:might be an rom bug instead.
- 3 pole headphones have noise in one channel and then the noise disappears (jack sensing bug?)
Sources Help & feedback are appreciated.
EDIT:
New kernel posted minimal changes again (samsung config updated from a new version LE1)
If you don't want an yellow triangle at boot flash my custom rom and then flash the kernel using the terminal.
1-Extract the tar.md5 file
2-Copy the boot.img to the sdcard
3-Use the terminal (or adb) as root to cd to the sdcard folder
4-Then type this "dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"
If you want to flash a custom recovery it works too, type "dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12"
Then you can flash whatever rom you want as long you don't use odin to flash an custom kernel or recovery you can keep your warranty intact (if you never flashed any custom kernel/recovery that is).
Keep in mind that this doesn't clear the counter only makes the triangle go away.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Custom recovery based on cm9 (5.5.0.4) posted (appears to work fine but more testing is required). Bootloop fixed. If you get stuck in recovery (unknown boot mode) go to "advanced" and choose "reboot recovery" when it is finished rebooting into cwm again choose "reboot system now".
DEVELOPMENT IS STOPPED. I no longer have the ace plus.

successfully flashed on my S7500DDLD1...only thing i noticed is after the flashing is complete phone doesnt boot normally but stays in download mode so i manually rebooted and i have ur kernel on my phone...take ur time and improvise it (startup scripts ,CM/MIUI support) , ALL THE BEST...

Wot's the benefit to flash custom kernel??.... Anyway gud step move ahead in making custom rom also for ace plus

Odd mine rebooted and worked fine on first attempt. I've only messed with one script so far. I'm still thinking what I should add to the kernel.
I'm trying to build aosp but so far no luck.

So far it's to have new governors and a new sheduler.

BUG :
1 . When on savagedzen gov unlocking the phone from sleep is delayed/laggy also if u r listening to music and the lock the screen then the music starts lagging tried increasing the min freq still the same , may be something like a deep sleep or sod bug..

I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but since my phone is still charging I can't seem to get the music lagging. What music app and music format are you using?

Strange I can't seem to make it lag on savagedzen. The UI feels slower but music isn't lagging. Do you have any sound effect enabled?
Edit: I've got lag when using the EQ and waking the phone.
Edit 2: I've uploaded a hopefully fixed version, let's also hope that the changes that I made won't screw up the battery life.

flashed test kernel 3
the same bug exists wen used with EQ but the intensity of the bug is only 20% compared to the previous one also increasing the min freq to 480 completely nullifies the bug...also with EQ off the bug doesnt exist
will see how the battery life is... btw have u played with the drivers/bus to change the battery life...?

I can't get any lag at all now (after v3). Can you give my all your parameters? EQ settings, mp3 bitrate, where is your music stored and if using an sd card what type of sd card are you using.
I've set the minimum at 19Mhz and on air plane mode and by morning I still had the same battery than yesterday (89%).
The only thing that I changed was the cpu frequency table to include 800 Mhz at the same voltage than 600 Mhz and so far it seems ok, but might not be true to all phones.

I've posted a link to the sources on github. I'm still learning how to use git. But I'm still uploading the sources.
Edit: Uploaded!

Can anybody help me with the cpu frequencies? I've cracked part of it but I don't know what to change since if OC to 1200Mhz I only get 600 Mhz performance
I've attached the table I'm using (xls since ods xda upload gave me the finger lol)

Check my fork of your kernel on my github.I have got OC working.
P.S: Could you update your repo to the latest kernel source from samsung?My net speed is very sucky

I don't see any new kernel versions on the Samsung open source release center.. I'm still going to test oc did you change anything else than the CPU frequency table?
Edit: Overlclock is working! Thanks to mb-14!
Anyway it looks like the cpu when on OC is always working at the same frequency, since by overclocking it to 1017 I get an 150 ms reduction on setcpu native bench. And it remains the same for all the other frequencies.
For what I've understanded of PLL and CPU clocks looks like the cpu is running at 1200 MHz. (In the frequency table you can claim any frequency but it doesn't mean the cpu is running at that speed)
Edit: With OC my phone crashes after a while (ram dump mode)
Edit 2: Neocore doesn't seem to care too about the cpu frequency I set above the stock 1008Mhz. From 1017Mhz to 1200Mhz the score is always the same (85,6Fps)

[Q] TF700t restarts when I toggle the power modes

I was running Cromi 4.7 and upgraded to 5.3 today. I also switched over to Hund's 3.4 kernel.
Now, when I change the power setting to performance or eco, the tablet freezes and then restarts (in Balanced mode).
The options I picked during the install process are-
US hunds with experimental tweaks
Software rendering disabled
GPU OC
CPU OV
GPU UV
I can't figure out if I messed something up during the install or if I need to play with the settings in Hunds app. Any ideas?

If you are using Hund v3.4.3 ET with the ET build.prop, you should NOT install the GPU OC, CPU OV, and GPU UV because the ET is already UV/OC for the kernel. Can you tell me what you have in your init folder? You can go here and find it: "/system/ect/init". It is a easy fix that I believe... One more question, did you do a clean installation with a data format?
Thanks,
LMK

Thanks so much for helping me out with this.
I misunderstood the relationship between the kernel and the ROM. I thought the kernel made those options possible, but that I still needed to select them. So, simply using Hund v 3.4.3 ET enables these options automatically.
The init.d folder has the following files in it: 50CleanTWEAKS, 70B2R, 80Fsync, 89OV, 90 UV, 91GPUUV, and 99hundsapp.
Before I flashed the ROM I did a factory reset with TWRP.

I think that your problem is that you under voltage too much which causes the kernel running unstable... So you could try this to see if you can fix your issues...
First, you may want to do a nandroid back from TWRP. Just in case you want to go back to your original state...
Second, delete these files from your init folder: "89OV, 90 UV, 91GPUUV".
Third, reboot your device and see if it is still rebooting when switching to performance mode....Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
Please report back what is happening when you delete those files, thanks..
