Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

[macaddict]

I can verify that some sort of incompatibility exists between Test 20 and Project Elite 4.2 now. Complete wipe twice, installed PE 4.2 ROM and booted, then rebooted and installed Test 20. After reboot I get the boot animation and finally an FC pops up for process system. I went back to Test 19 and running perfect! Really loving this kernel...

I wiped cache and dalvik cache, and I have Deprimed test #20 running on Project Elite 4.2 now. It seems to be hit or miss as I've gotten the system pop-up too. If you try it a few times, it will work. It did for me at least.

Thanks for the confirmation. After pulling the battery about 6 times last night, I was able to get #20 to boot up. Problem is anytime I need to reboot it's like you said 'it's hit or miss' if you make it past the boot animation without an FC. Seems odd since the kernel runs rock solid for me if I do get booted. Thanks again.

No problem, #19 is running fine. I thought 19 also had BFS but haven't had time to look at the changelogs yet. Great work man!

I hardly ever use camera on my phone, but when went to use it would close when pushing shutter button, tried fixing permissions to no avail, ended up flashing back to #9 & camera working. Not sure at this point if kernel issue, going to try re-flashing lastest & see what happens, Anyone else having camera issues with latest?

I also had an issue with the camera. I was recording a video, about 5 min long, and the phone got very slow and unresposive. When I tried to open the camera app, I could not use it. I could not even force it close in "manage aplications" so I rebooted. Went back to the stock Kernel, but today I am triying deprimed again. Any ideas Prime? Maybe 5 min was too long of a video? LOL

There has been some interesting behavior possibly attributable to the BFS scheduler. Doing some research and it seems that BFS is not good for long running sort of things (such as your camcorder for 5 minutes). In fact based on what I was reading it sounds like there were lots of problems with navigation tasks on previous kernels using BFS. Not sure if BFS has since been tweaked but that could explain the issue with the camera.

I'm having a similar camera issue on #20 with official CM nightly 61, I can't take more than 3 or 4 pics without the whole phone becoming completely unresponsive to the point I need to battery pull or wait 15 minutes to do ANYTHING. Running standard voltages, but removed the 600 slot and added a 1000 at 68 vsel

My camera is good so far. I'm running winner's #60 and deprimed #20.

Tahnks....

Maybe I should go back to 19 huh? Prime?

It is something to do with the android system process and is directly related to BFS. I suggest running #19 (deprimed_previous link - kernel reports #9) that you are currently using until I can look into the issue.

When I merged BFS there was also a ReiserFS4 patchset I merged, that may be a factor.

I knew it was the ReiserFS4, I told them to stop at FS3, but nooooooo!
I know not what I speak.

I am a little confused, not rare, as to which version of deprimed the link in the OP is for, 19 our 20? It seems like it most likely is 20, as your quote included sounded like 19's zip is named deprimed_previous, where could I find that link if the OP link is for 20?
Thanks
Or if anyone else knows feel free to come in, the waters fine. And maybe attach #19?

Anybody else on Winner's build 60 having issues with autobrightness using this kernel? I think it has to do with the change to 2.3.4. I've noticed that issues with the sensor not registering changes are usually kernel related.

I did not have any issues on Winner's 7.0.1 final.......I suppose I could try reflashing the kernel but wanted to hear from others first.

Reflashing the kernel appears to have fixed this if anyone else is having similar issues.

I've been running #20 for a few days (with CM 7.0.2 and today, 7.0.3) with ULV settings on Moto Droid 1 and only problem is with camera. After taking 1 picture, I'd get stuck in camera app and phone would be unresponsive until reboot. I cleared camera app data with app manager but it made no difference. I reflashed back to #19 and everything works perfectly.

Your compcache restart script has an error. If you have two swaps it reprioritizes the preference of the swap. I'm finding my zram0 swap to priority -2 after running the script rather than -1.
