Root [ROM] Quattrimus JB (CM10, AOKP41)

Got a reboot today after playing Temple Run 2.

last_kmsg.0
logcat_main.0

Everything else was blank. I can also give you the Last.1 and Logcat.1 if you want, since they would have the second-latest info i would think, the info right before the crash.
Tombstone

The logs aren't useful but the tombstone shows that the gl subsystem ran out of memory:

01-25 19:01:20.130 * 210 * 357 W Adreno200-GSL: <gsl_ldd_control:225>: ioctl code 0xc00c092f (IOCTL_KGSL_GPMEM_ALLOC) failed: errno 12 Out of memory

not sure why, but I suspect there is a memory leak somewhere. Tracking it down is probably impossible, as the kgsl/adreno libs are proprietary. :(

for what it's worth, this phone has always rebooted during games on every rom I've used.
 
Hmm, I was figuring a lack-of-memory was the problem when I glanced over the tombstone. Does the zRam feature and Kernel Samepage Merging do much to mitigate the problem (even though the 2 crashes happened with both enabled)

I'll monitor my memory usage next time I play the game.
 
Well if the problem is a memory leak and it's in the kernel, I might be able to track it down. But those are big ifs.

No zram etc. Will not fix the problem, they might delay it a little.
 
Which is ironic, given how powerful the device is. I've had the same issue using some music/streaming apps.

Indeed. ICS runs reasonably well on phones with half the ram and a quarter the cpu. This is why memory leaks are a Very Bad Thing.

Just another oddity of this device. ;)

At this point, we've all learned to be live with it. I tweak my phone to compensate for its flaws and issues.
 
thankfully I do almost no gaming so it's not a huge issue. I have had many more reboot issues since the ics upgrade than I ever did while on GB. I actually ran stock V6 for over a month waiting for the V7 update and I think I might have had one or two reboots that whole time. These days I get a reboot at least every day or two, sometimes a couple a day.
 
More news on the crashing issues...

Got the crap scared out of me this morning investigating a bsod. My kids were playing games on the spectrum yesterday and when I came home, it had a black screen and the button backlights were lit up. I didn't have time to do anything with it, so I plugged it into the computer to keep the battery charged. Got up this morning and started tinkering with it. I found that killing surfaceflinger made the screen come back. Wow, that's cool. But for some reason, the screen was washed out from the center to about 1/8" from the edge in a rounded rectangle pattern. Like screen burn-in on an old CRT while the screen was completely black. I rebooted and the same pattern appeared even on the LG logo. Oh sh!t, I'm thinking my screen is busted somehow. I panicked and went into recovery, reinstalled the vendor GB ROM, same deal. Back into recovery, wipe, reistall RC2, and finally I noticed the washed out rectangle fading. Whew! I'm so relieved. No idea what happened ... anyone familiar with display hardware who can explain this?

And then this afternoon, I'm letting my 7yo play some games. Nothing that eats too much horespower, just Jewels or something like that. And the next thing I know, he shows me the boot animation. That kid seriously has a future in software testing, I swear. ;) Anyway, I look and the phone didn't actually reboot, it was just a UI restart. And it was the same Adreno/GSL running out of memory issue which caused surfaceflinger to restart.

Seems suspicious that surfaceflinger is involved in both of these issues. But as far as I know, CM10 does not have this issue across all hardware (or even all MSM devices) so the problem can't be in the generic code. I wonder if the Adreno libs are faulty. Does anyone know which other devices have CM10 ROMs and use these same Adreno binaries?
 
Somewhere around here I posted the same screen FUBAR issue, it happens when the screen gets super hot. Funny it was the exact same for me black screen, key led lights were on, and I plugged it in to my computer really late at night and just left it for morning, almost as if you read my post and reposted it here like a joke...

(Thinking about it now, I may not have posted, as it went away and I would have done it on my PC as the spectrum was down and out, and for that issue the past would have been super long and probably timed out on the website and list when I had to log back in...)

It happened to me within a day or sop of when I complained about no charging animation.

I have had the same issue with reboots and the boot animation that remains after it seems that userspace has booted. It happens all the time for me. I noticed that I can touch where the lock/unlock slider lives and get haptic feedback. I can also unlock the phone with the cyanagen mod boot animation still running and turn the volume up using the volume buttons, hear it tell me it was all the way up even under the boot animation. I have tried the shutdown holding the power button and it shuts down but reboots the same way. Yeah....then the removing the battery would allow me to boot...but we are talking everytime. TDM I also sent you a PM

I also had the screen issue a couple weeks ago. I thought my screen was messed up but like everyone else is saying, it slowly went back to normal.
 
Yea that happened to me yesterday... I assumed the burn out was from me rubbing the screen on my pants quickly to clean it. It went away after 5 minutes or so.
 
Yeah, off topic i get bootlooped, and I dont know how to ubrick this... I need the cab as well. Please someone help. email me @charlesdeffendoll@yahoo.com
 
Do you have a nandroid of stock? It might help to restore stock, then flash cm10. I've restored stock when I've come across issues like that before and it worked.
 
i have a nandroid and i get bootloops at the 4g screen and the cm10 bootload, it boots then freezes and back to loop again and i dont know how to get out of this maybe someone can call me and walk me through this? trying a nandroid i had saved to my pc to try and see if that works... wish me luck...
 
Didnt work... Log says

I: Checking for extendedcomand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...
filed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory
I: Cant partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I: Cant format unknown volume: /external_sd
I: Cant format unknown volume: emmc failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory


Now what that means i dont know.... None of the cabs will download... and i have all things need to to restore to stock, it can get into dl mode, phone is recognized by lg upadte software... anyone have the cabs?
 
if it means anything, my work spectrum only has the boot loader unlocked....i recently started to experience odd issues as well with the screen. after being on for while the screen flickers back to the last screen anytime i touch the screen. hold power button down and nothing shows. my spectrum is on a dirty flash rc1 aokp with intermittent flickering but it goes away.

the wifi direct app is great. i hot spotted my work laptop today and watched 80min of netflix and only dropped 4-5% with 50-60% signal....but i have a 3600mah battery. used it 2 twice now for xbox live playing call of duty for 3-4hrs each....turns out cod uses very little data. maybe 35mb and hour. 80min of netflix used off my laptop about 700mb of data.

i think the wifi and the radios are perfect.

i use my bluetooth obd2 here and there when i use it .....and works fine for 2-3 hr durations while playing pandora.

Pandora seems to be light on the battery and the media server seems to be eating up the juice. on gingerbread the media server barely used anything and pandora was the juice culprit. not sure if this is i/o related or jb handles media differently.


something is whacky with the video drivers or a clocking issue or a power issue. gta3 lags quite a bit since aokp b4 or b5....but it was once smooth.



food for thought
 
I have not had any boot issues or screen issues, but I am still on b6. I have not flashed rc1 or 2 yet out of fear I will start to have these issues as well. Just food for thought
