Heads up! New Kaiser Wifi update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6456191&postcount=33
Old one replaced build.prop with wrong version. Reinstall and use the new Wifi update.
Also to get rid of android-rebooting-problems with GPS Test application do the following:
1. Start terminal emulator
2. su
3. cd system/lib/hw
4. rwsystem
5. rm sensors.msm7k.so
6. rosystem
7. exit
8. exit
9. restart phone
So how is it? I'm too lazy to install it.

Seems like a really nice build. I'm using 320x428 with 144 dpi. A bit slow because I'm currently not running in NAND but I would expect it to perform quite well once I go back to running NAND again.
I haven't tested it very much yet as I'm doing some experiments in WinMO at the moment.
just tried
hey
i just downloaded this and i have to say im impressed about this.
as i love the eclair design and everything and the donut speed i have to say this is impressing because it is FAST! not as fast as donut but pretty much the same. that could be due to the 500 mHz OC but i just like that build.
just needs to be optimized a bit, maybe a few apps like astro and others
and as the developer has a new phone we need a new one.
But i have to say its awesome!
i love it already and just tried it for 9 min.
just the OC needs to be removed i noticed right now and is there any way to set another value for the screen sensebility because quiet often it does not react on a touch.
so keep updating this!
nick
nice rom but it chews through battery like crazy. With a full charge battery will drop from 99 to 75(battery fix removed OC and set 1400 value) with just a 10min phone call and a couple txts. I think what we need is a new kernel highly optimized for battery life using the latest patches. Judging from the name alone of the kernel its running right now 2.6.25-01051-gc362ac-dirty and the fact that 2.6.25 was released in jul 2008 i think theres room for tons for improvement.
Does anyone know how to adjust the microphone gain? my friends complain they cant hear me..
The wifi scan interval is set to 15 seconds by default in this release. That will have a negative effect on battery life if you are out of range of a known network and have wifi enabled. I'll put together an update to change this when time allows. I use 120 seconds myself.

Thanks to update.
It working good on Polaris.
Also i change interval to 180 and density to 120 in .prop
Here's an update that changes the wifi scan delay to 120 seconds and also (not tested yet) changes the model name from Vogue to Kaiser.
i'm still trying to figure out if it's possible, somehow, to flash an update.zip file (to be able to use the cyanogenmod skins) with the nomorootfs we're using, instead of converting the skins to metamorph format
does anyone know if it's possible or how to do it?
Can't get wifi to work with updates, which one should I need?
kallt_kaffe's works for me. If something isn't working like it should, power off the phone and remove the battery. Then hold down the power button to remove any remaining power left. Place batter back in and try again.
Also, make sure to always fix permissions when you apply updates, even for wifi.

edit: how stupid can I be? I've bought another phone and forgot to add the mac adress.
Certainly think mod needs work. So far the battery meter is off, and all this time I thought it drained less power. A lot of pop ups to force close apps. A lot of apps are running that I don't use.
mssmison didn't say he was going to put any more effort into it either. Hopefully, someone will pick it up.

Try deleting /data/system/batterystats.bin. That usually helps when the batterymeter has gone bad.

Have you removed or renamed /lib/modules/hw/sensors.msm7k.so? After I removed that it runs very stable for me.
kallt_kaffe how do you do it?
I'm new to the androidinstall.tar method. I'm tyring to run from haret but it seems impossible.
You said you where experimenting with something in winmo, so that implies you're using haret? Are you running from haret?
When I try, Polymod, and Mssmission they don't show an install option, when I try myn and incubus I get it installed but I get no sound. It was actually your gps kernel that let me get things installed all other kernels i tried had non-functional dpads within the installer environment. Also, trying another kernel once installed didn't fix the sound issue.
Anyhow just let me know if you're using Haret. I wonder whats up with the sound and missing install option. I tried the install two different ways one with a 2gb fat32 partition, and then another attempt using three primary partitions 1.3gb fat32, 300mb ext, 300mb ext. All installers then would give me options beside's fat, but not all intallers would have an install option.. I'm using radio 1.71.09.01.eMo, model: kais100, os: wm6.5 (shifu v.3)

I try start Skyforce game, but it forceclose.
It can work after i added "sensors.sapphire.so" into /lib/modules/hw/
I've installed the cyanogenMod updater from the marketplace, but it can only find older versions, no experimental versions, whatever option I set in the program.Anyone?

battery life has been fantastic for me on this build...
although I reverted back to 400mhz and got rid of compcache.
I am sure that OCing to 500 by default is draining the battery faster.
I would rather a usable phone than a fast one...(although it still seems very fast to me)

Have anyone tried this app on Blackstone?
Some reports from other forums indicate much better performance after using this app.
SpeedBooster
Maybe we can find out what settings, if any, improves the performance.
I'm going to install now...
-----------------------------------
This my default benchmark before any altering.
onkolog Lite Rom
SanDisk 8Gb Class4
Tried to alter some settings, but so far only getting lower score on benchmark. Will continue to try though....
No video results.
When I tried to do the same as in the demovideo, I got lower benchmark ??
Count me in!
got the same results as the above (test done immediately after a soft reset).
played around with settings and benchmarked again. no matter what i did the results were worse than the original ones.
tried to restore the default ones with no success and had to restore from backup in order to have the best results i obtain with my original settings.
the only good thing:
-benchmark
addons:
-strip battery (very similar with the one found in the forum).
-"real close" button is overlaping the existing one.
-hack battery (make the battery last longer), not tested.
my conclusion: to uninstall it....fast..
Same Experience here.
I managed to get just slightly better benchmark.
The other tools I already had.
No point installing this.
I'm getting rid of it also.
Hi
Hello,
I'm lucky because when I install is
soft and then he did not want to get started, so then I tried not to know
why and how.
In any case thank you for the info I do not regret not working with me ...

try again
sony xperia benchmark with SB 2.0.020.
cab here.
Guys, I think you're not using it correctly.
The benchmark measures the Hardware performance, but according to their website, you can't get more power out of nothing, the tool is to give more power to the apps you need, and take it from those you're not using that much.
Ex: when using GPS you don't care about other apps, you want the GPS to load faster.
Read more here.
For me it proves to be a useful tool, I'll test it more the next days.
Did it help?

Yepp, he (or she)'s right! And it does make a difference!
To find out for yourself, download the app and run it (it will run in demo mode, which is sufficient to see the difference in the following test). Open the processes screen, find the gwes.exe process and tap the minus button on the left until it has the lowest possible priority. Hit ok and open the windows 6.5 start menu: You will notice how scrolling through the menu is now REALLY slow and laggy! Go back into Speedbooster, enter the processes screen and now give gwes.exe the highest possible priority. Tap ok and again open the start menu: Now everything is really smooth!
So it can make a big difference! The big question is though: Which processes should have a high, which ones a low priority? Although that is simple to answer if you want to increase performance in CorePlayer or some other specific app, it's not easy to answer if you want to increase your overall performance...
EDIT: I'm going to benchmark Coreplayer with Speedbooster active and inactive to find out, how big the difference is... I'll post the results here later!
Here are the results:
I used this file (Matrix trailer): http://shintak.info/ppc/download/betaplayer/sample/RL_XQ_640x480_1500_128.avi
Results with Speedbooster inactive: 89,84 %
Results with Speedbooster active: 92,23 %
So there was a slight increase... but it's not much!
of course it does its job. its not an overclock application, but since windows mobile does not include a priority adjust application, this is so useful. for example, adjust manila.exe to high priority and open some background job. manila freezes without this app, but its so smooth with it (of course, while the background job done slower). but this is useful for web browsing and navigation applications, since they really suck sometimes (they get slow much even if u get a simple sms).
ps: i dont know how it affects battery but, it made my blackstone just like iphone with a proper config.

What is your config? I've used this and never really got it to work well.
SD card is installed.
But after I checked it myself suddely the location was moved?
Same speed before (pic3) and after I changed the settings(2)
Is this app really working?

Well i already tried speeding up my HERO by following the steps from another thread here in the forum and it just didn't work for me.
So Heres what i Tried and it just seems to work out for me! And its very simple too.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: DOWNLOAD "OVERCLOCKWIDGET" FROM THE MARKET AND SET THE MIN MHZ TO (128000) AND MAX TO (528000) MHZ. THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP THINGS RUNNING SMOOTH.
^^^^Also from the settings of "OverClock Widget" you can set the MHZ Frequencies while the screen if off to the a low but not so low Frequencies in order to save battery!
So if your like me and like to have a lot of widgets on your phone then Using Task manager to kill certain apps might just do the trick....
First of all never end applications such as
com.htc.socialnetwork.provider
com.htc.provder.weather
HTC media uploader
Touch input
HTC Location Service
and more! They do not have an icon if your using "advance task Manager" All other apps are good to end such as music,peep,market, Messages,Mail, Google Mail, and of course Browser which uses a lot of memory.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes...
Heres the link to a video i made to show the performance of my HTC Hero!
Not the best quality.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3BrCmWXwhQ
Click to expand...

Thats the way i do it to.
But i also noticed, that some widgets uses more battery than others. After i removed quick calender and digital clock, i got better battery performance. That might also have some effects on the processing power
I tried this...
This afternoon and so far this morning the Hero is far more responsive after I wake it up (which was when it was at its most laggy).
I can now immediately slide around the home screens. Before I had to wait a few seconds or suffer ignored screen swipes.
I was not using the Stocks app or widget but it was set to auto update so set it to never update.
Maybe its a process that runs regardless of whether you use the app or widget ??
Know what I think might work? An app that reboots the phone.
User selects frequency of reboot (daily? every 2 days? every week?)
User selects time of reboot (12 midnight? 3 am?)
User defines Countdown period (15 seconds? 30 seconds? 1 minute?)
At the user-defined time, the app will run itself, and prompt the user "Reboot Now?". A countdown timer will start.
User can select 'Later', 'In 10 minutes', or if there is no interaction/input, when countdown reaches 0, the app will reboot the phone automatically.
This way, users will always wake up to a 'fresh' phone. What do you guys think?
Rebooting the device won't make it faster. On the contrary you have to start every apps for the first time so it takes more time.
You'd better leave it on and turn to airplane mode when you don't need it.

Tell that to my phone. It's back to it's zippy self after a reboot, and only slows down after I run Maps, Browser, Google Talk, Market and HTC Mail

I think clock should also be spared of killing, as if I recall correctly, something bad could happen to set alarms (not setting off, volume too low etc.)!
Hi guys, need some help.
i've just rooted my Hero thanks to this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571 and Quick Boot (which needs root) now works perfectly.
After i've installed overclockwidget i cannot start it as it gives me an error "Star-up error - cannot start Overclockwidget (need Root)".
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
Surely increasing the CPU speed will also increase battery drain ?
Its also likely to lead to instability and additional heat (Hero gets hot enough when working hard).
Personally I would be wary of doing this.
I have no real issues with battery drainage after tweaking the processor speed; lasts about the same as it would w/out the tweaks.
I do see some minor performance improvements, but on the flip-side, the phone can also get sluggish at times upon waking it up from sleep.

wrong, mine runs at 528 MHz, and I haven't overclocked it
I can confirm that mine shows 526 (the widget number) as well out of the box. And changing the settings doesn't appear to do anything. It's always returning to 480Mhz - 528Mhz when I restart the app / widget. I've tried this both with SetCPU and OverClock Widget.
The Hero (at least some Heroes) seems to be immune to fiddling with the cpu. And I am sure I'm rooted, because I enabled paid apps in Android Market with MarketEnabler and that's working.
MarketEnabler didn't work out of the box tho - because it had a script that relied on Grep and Grep isn't installed, so I had to empty the AndroidMarket cache by hand from the terminal... Maybe there's something similar preventing fiddling with the cpu speeds?
[Android General] Android Tips & tricks (UPDATE 14/03/10) HUGE UPDATE! 3 uselful tips
I have fought that the Android/Blackstone community would be happy to learn some tips and tricks to enjoy their configuration better.
You can post yours for sure
TIPS AND TRICKS:
1) Do you find your XAndroid build very slow and not as responsive as you expected ?
Install CleanRAM under WinMo (6.x), set it to "Level 3" (Fundamental Purge). Normally, your build will be faster and more responsive, it works for me !
Feel free to post your feedback
2) Do you find your battery life is not at least good ?
Disabling Wi-Fi toggle can be useful, even if you aren't connected to your favourite Network, let it drains the battery faster than everything...
3) An other battery tip ! Disable Animations in Settings Menu.
It won't change important things, it's almost unnoticeable.
4) You don't use the 3G network ? Disable this option into the comm manager under WinMo 6.x , you'll notice an important changing as regards your battery life
5) Have you found an app which doesn't fit the whole screen ? Open STARTUP.txt and try to change lcd.density from 220 to 240.
(Thanks Slaming)
6) Many many users don't manage to answer their incoming calls. Last night i found a trick. Don't use your finger, but press a bit hard the green circle on your screen with your stylus (no risk for your screen), you'll be finally able to answer your calls !
7) I just found a PERFECT package: http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/a...sm-android/zImage-modules-20100215_000813.tar
If you don't know how to use it, there are some FAQs
8) Do not forget that your WinMo settings matter !
(Especially Screen settings, comm manager settings, etc, i'll give more details soon)
9) How to install glemsom's packages according to Slaming:
"to install this just download the zip and place it in your sd card then edit the starup and change zimage to the name of the zimage you are uing so in this case it will be zImage-20100215_000813 when its booting you will see the kernel script and it will say new image or something. hope this helps.
and dont forget don't unzip the other file inside the original zip just place it in the sd card normally."
10) I think i have found a temporary fix as regards DEEP SLEEP ISSUES (I test it for three days and the conlusion is impressive !).
There are the instructions:
1) Download the app SetCPU (included in Glossy's packages)
2) Install the app via the market (if you've downloaded it via your phone) or Astro file manager (If you have the .apk)
3) Launch SetCPU and choose "Auto Detect" (at the end of the list)
4) Set Max at 528MHz and Min at 245MHz, enable "Set on Boot" and let CPU Governor as "On demand"
5) Exit the app, test my tip and leave your feedback
Warning: Your battery life won't be shorter, don't worry.
11) Your Network drops down sometimes and never reappear ? Select your network manually, and if it doesn't work, don't reboot, it can take some time
I'm french so i do: Paramètres (Settings) => Réseaux sans fils (top of the list) => Paramètres réseaux mobiles (bottom of the list) => Recherche manuelle (Manually search ?), wait 10 sec and select your favorite network.
12) Boot failed to mount sd card ? Try this: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/ef88a97aaef9116b?pli=1
13) Tired of installing all your APKs ? Just put your precious APKs in "Androidapps" folder, it will auto-install apps when booting. Thanks Brodos123
14) Deep Sleep problems are getting on your nerves ? Try to use the "board-htcblackstone-panel.no_bkl_off=1" in the cmdline in startup.txt. Thanks Brodos123
15) Tired of seeing all this "fsck0001", "fsck0002" ? You can delete them without having any issue ! Thanks N!ghty
16) Want to use your personnal wallpapers ? Try to put your JPEG, or GIF, or any image file into sdcard\media\resource\ , and select one of them with your favorite wallpapers manager. Thanks N!ghty

How is the wake up on sleep problem in this kernel?
No problem for me It should be the same for you.
The same sleep problem. Put the phone into sleep mode and leave it in your pocket for 15 minutes and see.
There hasn't really been any notable progress as far as fixing what is broken on Blackstone (or any of the features that don't work like camera, bluetooth, etc.) since December.
If you've been following the notes on the zimage builds, you'll see how slow progress really is. Although I appreciate how difficult it is for those working it, I think they'll still be working on it long after we've upgraded to another a phone, and with what they're up against, I wouldn't hold my breath about getting new features to work.
Besides, HTC Bravo/Desire will be available in March... Snapdragon? new Sense UI? Yes please.
I've woken up my device about 500 times and this problem have appeared only 2 or 3 times.

what do you mean by "perfect"?
how perfect it is and in what aspect?
It is meaningless to say perfect with no content at all.
Perfect for what we have at the moment
BT, headphones and camera still doesn't work, but this package make Android smooth, fast, wifi works perfectly, 3g too, and i didn't have any trouble with deep sleep

Leave it charging over night in sleep mode, then try and wake it up. Doesn't work.
Although this is an overall good package, it suffers the same current bugs that have yet to be resolved. Every zimage build has had this problem since they added sleep functionality last month, and unfortunately its marked as a 'low priority' bug in the forum.
I leave my phone charging every night when android is booted and i have no problem.
on Diamond?
Can i put this on Diamond? afaik, it should go, since I am only replacing the zImage.

You'd better post in the Android Questions for this, put i'll try to answer your question.
I think you can only put modules and zImage, but i'm not sure...

Hey!
Tottaly worked for me.
Using glossy 1.7 and had sleep problems before.
used SETCPU and worked.
Thanks.
Left charging all night and today it woked up from sleep.
Never did this before.
Worked for me too!
Testing it for two days and didn't had one sleep problem.
Keep up the good work!
Hello,
I'm reactivating this thread since I cannot talk with samm every now and then to update the OP from this thread here.
What works:
It is stable for a daily driver but there are definitely things that doesn't work. For starters, the Hero is too small for ICS since we don't have any GPU posibility. Adreno 130 drivers are oh, too small and too bad for animations on ICS, they suck even in GB and Froyo. Still, the statusbar and fling are much smoother than other android releases because that's how ICS is built. It is more RAM friendly and it looks, well, sexy!
Will try and update this rom when it will be possible. We might jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 if I can make it to move faster than it moves right now (yes, I have an experimental build).
If one of you want to join me to develop this rom further, send a PM and I will send you some details about what is in the works, how far it is. I know there are few people that can work on builds here on Hero thread but if we work together, we can pull this out one more time.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- YOUR BRAIN
- YOUR HOUSE
- YOUR PHONE!
ON with the ROM. What has been changed:
Added:
Code:
- Google Music apk (yes, official google music app);
- Explorer.apk
- Latest and greatest LV Kernel 1.2+
- Revert to Evtoolbox back from 4.0.3 builds
- Set the cpu to scale at 352-672 from startup
- Tweaked the build.prop a little (added some experimental lines)
Why this is v3?
Because the memory management inside the kernel (remember, INSIDE THE KERNEL) is tweaked and fixed to nice values in order to allow our hero to better multitasking (you can find these values in my other rom called 1ceCream BEAST Flavor). No need for tweaks in init.d to do the job, no bull****.
Just plain and simple!
If you are texting someone, sending an email, playing a game, doing something, and you are locking the screen, after unlocking you will find that the application is ON the screen, and is not closed how it is in many other roms for hero. The multitasking with my values is so much better, you will definitely like it!

Click to collapse
The rom moves fast, even if it is ICS, I have the animations on and no force GPU in Developer settings and it is still moving so much fast than the older builds.
Overall, I am happy with this release and I hope you will be too! Post me some of your opinion and tell me if it is fast or am I dreaming!

If you make these changes maybe you'll see better performance, the hero can't handle dithering on anything higher than stock GB or Sense froyo and doesn't have enough RAM for 48mb of dalvik heapsize. I may be wrong but these always worked for me in the past altough ICS is supposed to be better on RAM.
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
dalvik.vm.heapsize changed to 24m or 32mb
persist.sys.use_dithering=0
Good work. Flashing now.
How about keeping this as lite as possible, only the absolute essentials pre-installed, everything else as optional zips / apk. For instance, I personally have no use for the music player.
I would really like to see a bare bones, fast and stable ics rom where you just add what you need.

Unexpected reboot just as I was about to install Opera Mini. Followed by: "New Sim Detected, reboot required." Never seen that before.
I've applied CSL00's values.
Wonder if V6 Supercharger or Auto Memory Manager can improve things.
Play Store is noticeably faster. Unsure if was CSL00's values or the introduction of AMM.
Regarding the error message: 'No more room on this home screen.'
In Play Store app. Menu > Settings > Deselect Auto-add widgets.
Second unexpected reboot, otherwise things are getting faster. No wifi issues, BT still won't pair.
Running AMM on 'Aggressive.'

dalvik execution mode was on fast until I changed it in the last second to "jit".
vm.heapsize was changed to 48 because I was testing 32 mb and I saw that it takes a little while to enter in one application. With 48 mb the time is reduced somehow. Please feel free to change it to 32 mb if you want. Dithering, well here is a mistery, I don't know if this works in ICS. It does look a little better than with it changed to 0 and my phone can suport dithering pretty well.
About the reboots, please install set cpu and set your max cpu frequency to a respectable value such as 691 or lower. I suggest using governor smartassV2.
The whole rom does feel a little snappier but we have an issue when someone calls you and after 20 seconds the call gets interrupted. I'll look into that today after work and see if I can fix it somehow.
I've tried Supercharger, the V8 doesn't wanna start on ICS and when applied V6 with option 6, the phone just got stuck on bootloop.
The reason that I've made it like this with apk.s that you can easly uninstall is that I didn't want you guys to have to flash any other optional zips or anything. But as I said, feel free to do what ever you want and uninstall those unused apps.
Oh, If you want to try supercharger yourself, you have to first delete these scripts from /etc/init.d:
03tweaks
04netspeed
05fixsdcardspeed
06loopy_smoothness_tweak
15cleanup_init_ram
16sqlite_optimize
17speedy_modified
Just to avoid any unexpected issues.
L.E:
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, make a LOGCAT while you are in a call and save it to a txt? I want to see if we can narrow down the problem of disconnecting. I am unable to make a logcat atm.
1ceb0x, back to using your original build.prop, and Setcpu. Things seem more stable.
I'm looking for a notification toggle (cm-style) that has no icon when running (or only hides it, leaves a space.)
I will make a logcat, but I've tried aLogrec and all it seems to produce is an empty file. Should it not be dumping info on any activity I do?

Seems stable than samm000's build.prop?
Glad to hear this.
As for the logcat, you cannot use any of the readers on the market because they will not work on ics. I've tried to make a log using android sdk but it seems that we need a file called 'main' in /dev/logs. I tried to make the file manually but then I've encountered an EOF read error on cmd. I forgot to make permissions for the respective file. Will make it again now and see how it goes.
As for cm notification toggle, I don't know what are you talking about. The notification toggle on ICS is nicer than any other available .
Tell me if you have calls issue (your call is disconnected after some seconds)?
Well it is probably more stable because I reduced the cpu speed.
In a voicecall now, 2mins+. Call lost around 3 mins.
6mins+ this time and still going...

Did you checked the box "Force GPU rendering" in Develop Options?

Yeah, 'Force GPU rendering' is enabled. In a voicecall now, 10mins+.

10 minutes without disconnecting? What's your settings on network? GSM ONLY, or WCDMA preferred?
(to see this, please go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , then go to Phone information, scroll down and you will see the value above the button "Turn Off Radio").
as default the version is WCDMA preferred. What Radio firmware are you using?
also, did you installed Habarug's tweak to hide the end button call during a call? (it's in samm000's thread).
this information will be helpful! cheers
WCDMA preferred. Radio: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
I have not installed Habarug's tweak.

It was 22mins when I ended the call myself.
Regarding notification toogle this is what I mean: 15 toggle status bar as implemented in this rom. Check the video.
Very ODD.
I have 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 on my device with WCDMA preferred but I keep getting call disconnected after 10 seconds or so.... regarding the notification status bar power widget, I don't know what to say. I'm not a dev so...
i'm trying to find a way to make a log cat of the calling issue because I don't really want to change my radio because my version seems to be battery friendly...
thank you for your support
Obviously the notification thing isn't even important right now. I shouldn't really have mentioned it.
I thought this radio was considered one of the best to be using, and find the battery life to be good on it.
Don't know if its the best really. But I've flashed it anyway. Since this will end my calling interrupt, it will be a small price to pay if the battery doesn't play well.
Will test the voice calling. Btw, I am maybe working on RC2, with some new tweaks and fixed latinime.apk keyboard..
can confirm right now that the latinime.apk is fixed.
@Habarug: are you using my mod or sam's rom?
Thanks lost, will try your radio, im on .14 atom
Just to clarify, the radio I am using still has calls dropping with ics. It seems to happen at random times. 1 minute into a call, 3 minutes or not at all. Maybe it's because of the numbers I am ringing. I can't be sure they would not drop anyway. But it sounds like it is doing better than some other radios.
Also, what about having a build based off ics 4.0.4?

we have to fix this issues first and then talk about another version. anyhow, 4.0.4 is much laggier than this version. i saw a bit of logcat and some awkwardly errors regarding the "animations" but i was unable to save the log for future use.
I've asked Maclaw, a dev from Galaxy Gio/Fit/Mini who made CM9 possible on those device to look at our build and maybe with some luck he can see something that make this calls drop...
managed to past 3 minutes in call with your radio version lost101. cheers
L.E: I am unable to send PM's. so i cannot ask Maclaw for help.. too bad! I'll just have to post on their op!
Come on people.. test the build!
I'm running Albinoman's JB RC3 ROM, and like it a lot. The only significant problem I have is occasional severe sluggishness. When it happens, I'll open IntelliControl and I notice either of two things going on:
1) I'll see that the max CPU speed has been reset to 664000 or something close to that (it's always the same number, but I don't remember exactly what it is...600-something). Once I crank the max limit back up to 1036800, things are good again. What keeps resetting the CPU limit to such a low level, and how do I stop it from doing that???
2) I'll see that the CPU is maxed out at 1036800, but I can't figure out what's chewing up the CPU. What tool can I use to see what process is consuming all the CPU cycles when that happens?
Thanks for the help...
1. I can't tell you why it happens... but I know it is a common problem on the JB ROMs (on the Dinc). There was quite a lot of discussion about it. I know the devs are aware of the issue and were working on it.
2. I don't know of anything that will graph percentage of cpu cycles, or anything exactly like that. But try hooking the phone up to the PC and run ddms (part of the adb tool set) and see what it is doing (or failing to do). While ddms is running in verbose mode it will give you a running output of everything the phone is doing (along with all the errors and warnings).

That's because he's using an older version of Evervolv's qsd8k-common. It was fixed on Oct 10 with Change I3a0fff83: powerHAL: fix the screen off bug. This is one of the reasons I do nightlys, is to get all the new tweaks. This bug won't be fixed in his ROM till he resyncs his source and recompiles. It's triggered by the screen turning off. There's a workaround with Tasker, but since this bug is no longer in my ROM, I quit looking at it.

For #1, a possible fix could be to use this power.qsd8k.so provided by tiny4579:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32552961&postcount=264
Replacing this file fixed the issue on Pons's ROM, but it may wreak havoc on Albinoman's, I have no way to know. Make sure you have a good nandroid backup before attempting to use it. Or, just wait for Albinoman to release a newer ROM with the problem fixed in the source.

It should work fine on Albinoman's ROM. powerHAL is a generic jellybean feature and should work on all JB ROM's. You won't need the fix however on either of Pon's ROMs whether AOKP or CM10.
I'm finding the same issue on the 11/08 build. I replaced the file with the one you uploaded, yet no change. Still reverts to 614 when the screen is off.
I'm managing it with both Incredicontrol and Juicedefender, so on wake it returns to 1075, and the SAv2 seems much smoother than interactive for me. If there's a fix in the newer builds I may flash one (if I get the time), but for now I'm really impressed by how well this one is running.
Thanks,

It's supposed to change to 614 on screen off. The bug was that it would stick at 614 even on screen on.
I don't recommend that lib for cm. It's outdated.
Also I don't use sav2 anymore as it doesn't and won't implement project butter. Also interactive can be more aggressive than sav2 as it can jump frequency on touch via boostpulse which sav2 doesn't have.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Oh, well, then I guess I'll give the interactive another try. Maybe just needs to settle in longer. Got so used to ICS, wasn't sure what to expect from JB. Guess it's time I read back a few pages and see what else I've missed.
...sorry...I was on the phone...
Thanks, guys--appreciate the help!
Maybe its out of topic but since i still cant post on dev sub forum i wanna ask a question here to pons.
Im running your CM10 20121114, whenever i play music with appolo it always reboot my dinc.
Is any other had this problem too?

Yep, just a tad bit off topic.
I haven't had this problem before. Granted, I've never played music off my Inc, but I haven't heard anyone else complain, either. Can you PM a logcat? And it's always preferable to report errors off latest versions (currently 1120).

Try flashing to his newest build. It fixed a few problems for me and is incredibly fast. I had to reflash gapps from goo.im though because play store was force closing. Also, doubletwist is a better music player imo because it has a better interface and has good integration with the lockscreen.
