Root Cyanogenmod-Tweaked Kernel

Same here... curiosity is killing me haha. My only issue is the only way I've pulled a logcat is with catlog which puts it on the sd card... the one I can't access lol. So I'll need to do a google search to get the command - no biggie.

adb logcat > logcat.txt

This puts your logcat into logcat.txt in your current directory. Let it run for a few seconds then use control+c to kill it (logcat doesn't stop so the command will run forever).

It might not hurt to do

adb root
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

as well.
 
Thx... That was faster than a google. search :)

WTF - now it sees the sd card fine. I'm currently on cm10.1 6-04 nightly. I don't get it. After 5 I'll restore my 5-22 nightly nandroid and try again.
 
Exactly :)

Now on to the reason I loaded it in the first place... To test the 1080p video recording gallery fc issue.

I doubt anything in this kernel would fix that tbh.

This is the stock cm kernel with a bunch of tweaks and such added.


I suspect that the issue you're having right now with that is one of the many AV commits that they made right before RC4 got put up. Which is in the rom itself, not the kernel. Personally, I'm still on the PAC nightly from 5/28 but I don't really do much 1080p video recording... maybe I should try.
 
And it seems to be fixed using your kernel. I was easily able to cause the fc by trying to open facebook or messaging before trying to open video recorder on 1080p after a fresh reboot. I can't get it to fc now.
 
To be clear, the gallery/video recording fc seems to be caused by an OOM issue, which it looked like you addressed that with some of the tweaks.

The video playback/streaming is something else completely, which seems to be as a result of the plethora (yes, I said plethora) of av commits recently done. Those were the reason I was on 5-22 nightly originally - that was to most recent I had before the commits.
 
I'm sure this is a n00b question that a three-year Android user shouldn't have to ask, but is flashing a kernel the same process as flashing a ROM? Just clear cache and davlik? Do I need to clear data as well?

Dalvik and cache only, no data


Also, can we get a source link to current builds in the OP? I see a few github links thrown around in the thread but it should be clearer where the actual source is

Keep in mind though, this does change a few files on your system partition as well. So make sure to back that up before flashing.


Yeah, I thought I had put the github in the OP. I'll update it now ;)
 
Hah. The fun of customizing things.

Ok... I just finished resetting up my 5-22 nightly rom and made a nandroid of it. Then I flashed the v34 and whadya know? no issues with the sd card lol. I bet I had an issue because I didn't make a nandroid of it the first time haha.
 
Now I wish I had some logcats off the Bluetooth issue people were still having. I've pulled a couple fixes in for the next build from wind kernel that are on the github commits. I saw another one about names not being released that in trying to relocate to pull in that sounded like the issue people were having where out just wouldn't reconnect sometimes.

It's likely a codec issue. Just tried recording a 1080p video. Worked fine. Played back fine in mx player maybe because I use a custom codec for that. But in the sick video player I'm getting a few pixels of scramble along the edge.

V35 posted.

You can check the github for the commits for a changelog (of sorts)

Some highlights:
misc bluetooth fixes (hopefully)
a couple FS fixes/tweaks
Slub memory allocator optimization (make it use less ram)
Gentle Fair Sleepers are disabled by default, this should make the UI more buttery.
Got rid of an error that Powerhal was putting into logcat about ondemand
Lowmemory killer should now also compact memory when it triggers.


Sorry for all the rapid fire updates. They should calm down a good bit here in the next few days.

Don't be sorry man. Keep them coming. I for one love the constant updates and love the fact that you are so commited to getting it right. Thanks for your hard work.
 
You're kernel doesn't like beta 4. I just tried it and it wouldn't boot. Albeit I did only do a dirty flash.
 
V34 up.

I also turned the max current for the lcd backlight down from 22.5mA to 12mA. I'm not sure if this will be too dark... or really even save any battery life... But I've always felt that the screen was too bright at the brightest setting which should draw juice for no reason.

Let me know how it works out.

I was getting some weird light issues on v34, seemed to be related to the status bar brightness slider. Was just a bit quirky, would dim down and then get bright again occasionally, not all the time, and brightness would flicker sometimes. Was pretty random, on v35 now, I'll let you know if it keeps happening and if I can pinpoint why. Just thought I'd let you know.
Battery life seems better, although still not great, you'll be a superstar around here if you can improve that!

might be because I replace system/etc/init.qcom.boot.sh I think it is. Maybe compare those... beta 4 May have had extra stuff in there.

I'd imagine that might be a result of limiting the LCD backlight current by almost half. Maybe not all spectrums are enjoying that so much.

Speaking of Bluetooth issues, I have them as well. My Pioneer deck connects then disconnects after a little bit of time then sometimes reconnects and sometimes doesnt

You wouldn't have a log cat would you?

Sounds like what I saw a patch for that now I can't find again.

Switched back to aokp, v35 booted fine, then as I restored stuff it rebooted about 4 times in a row, then seemed to settle down but started randomly rebooting again this morning. Was definitely seeing better battery on this though so would be great if you could get it working on AOKP too.
