Ahh gotcha. Noticed they were calling out different boards versions.

Right now, I'm copying the files for ijb_skt and replacing the paths/names etc with vzw. Probably a horrible way to do it, but meh. Giving it a go.

I'd post back on your nitro thread... but I don't really want to clutter up the thread there with attempting to bring it up here. Though, it doesn't seem *that* far off between the two.

Can't wait!
 
I flashed v41 over CM10.1 RC5 and the video playback got messed up. Dirty flashed rc5 again and playback was good again...

Isn't RC5 the one that people were having problems with it booting to black.


Personally, I've gone back to PAC RC1. I'll likely stay there since it doesn't seem like most of the nightlies have many (if any) real fixes... mostly just translation updates and minor fixes.

It just stays smooth for me.

RC5 is good with video, Nightly 6/13 was the start of the black screen during boot up. 6/12 had messed up video on websites and youtube. Also some of the versions before RC5 had messed up video as well but I don't remember specifically which ones.
 
I posted that info because the way people were getting the recent nightlies to work was by flashing this kernel, but they are complaining about video playback on the recent cm nightlies. Since this kernel messed up video playback on rc5 (the one that works) I'm not sure the issue is in the nightlies. When I have time I'll go back thru the previous versions of this kernel and see if one works for video playback, then we can try that kernel on the recent nightlies for some awesome yoinx/ cm magic :-)

I can just commit the commit that I was avoiding and see if that helps any now. They could have changed something in the room to where it expects that code to behave like that now.

The video playback issue has been across all ROMs, with and without this kernel.

Nokoko is correct. The video playback issue is with all roms that are based on CM 10.1 (CM, AOKP, and PAC)

The other issue was a black screen on bootup which started with 6/13 nightly. Yoinx's kernel seemed to fix due to the revert.

Could you imagine keeping track of several different roms and kernels along with all the commits from upstream and failures downstream, hardware quirks, idiosyncrasies. that would suck. :)

Yeah. Hopefully nobody is using this kernel when reporting issues. I should probably edit the op to mention that. I'm sure that it's alright to report when this fixes an issue... but definitely don't report an issue it causes as a problem with the Rom.

When was the commit that you're avoiding applied to cm? Everything before rc5 had video playback issues, and everything after has black screen issues.

Just take a look at the commits.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-iproj/commits/cm-10.1


I pulled the last one "Revert "msm_fb: display: allocate RGB pipes properly for external"" sha - 95d76a44f77a2540f308d8d865758662b5f75eba

When I pull that one, my kernel starts black screening as well. I ended up reverting it so that this kernel would still come up with a display. My guess is that we NEED the code that's being removed within the conditional. I'm just not enough of a dev to figure out why.
 
Pulled the commit I was avoiding from cm's repo as Reeseboy reported that the black screen issue was fixed. I'll be restructuring the OP to clean it up some... maybe explain some of the sysfs values that you can tweak with this kernel. For now, I'll post the new link here, once I clean the OP, I'll leave the link there.

V42

Pulled that commit, enabled zram, tweaked the default minfree values.

This boots fine on the latest nightly (6-19) of pac.
 
Boots fine with CM RC5 and YouTube and video work flawlessly now on v42. v40 had video issues that the commit you added fixed

Nice. Glad it worked for you.

Bad news though, I put up another version (V43) that has more tcp congestion methods enabled.

Supposedly westwood is better than the default ones. I haven't tried too much with any of them... They could get you more speed or break the internets. Who knows.

Here's a writeup someone did on a few of them

V43 has black screen on Eclipse, V41 boots fine...?

eclipse may have pulled sources between whatever broke it and yesterday's fixes in the sources.

Nitro will need to pull in the changes to media and A/V on the cm repo from yesterday for it to work with anything over v41.

Ugh... More weirdness from my phone. V40 runs fine but v41 & v43 get stuck on the "PAC is loading..." animation.

I believe I see a full wipe & clean install in my future.
