Why do oc kernels break webtop? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First off let me say, I am not badgering anybody here. But my question is, why "in my experience" do all the modded kernels break webtop.....specifically the webtop statusbar?
I love flashing my phone and trying new things, but it seems that all the kernels break webtop. I have done the modded webtop (debian), and no matter what rom and modded kernel, it just dont work. When I install the stock AT&T kernel, everything works just fine.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem?
FYI, I am running Darkside 2.8, webtopmod, and "stock" at&t kernel, and everything is working great!! Just wondering what is up with webtop and modded kernels?

My webtop run faster with OC =p

I believe faux123 fixed the issue in 0.2.1 of his kernel. Id try it for yourself.

When I was on Darkside 2.6 I flashed faux's 0.2.1 kernel and 0.1.9 and my webtop was working flawlessly.

Faux is working on it, I tested two kernels for him yesterday....still a no go. But he is aware, and working on it

Mine works wonderfully with Faux's @ 1.4Ghz

Have you tried clicking on the "upper right" icons for web-top panel. They were unresponsive. If they work for you, then you are lucky!! He is currently working on a fix for that problem. His latest "test kernel" fixes web-top panel...but he is still tweaking it.
I highly doubt your web-top panel was working on his 1.45 ghz kernel, when it wasn't working for anyone else. Check his thread, we are very close to a fully functional webtop/working oc kernel.
On the other hand, my question for you is, are you on a stock rom...ext3? I use ext4 roms and webtop2sd always force closes. I;m thinking it's because the rom I use is ext4....can you confirm? Would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on R-9 V5 ROM and Ext4 because all others gave me problems under Webtop2sd for some weird reason.
The top bar was working great until I posted about it yesterday lol.
Yesterday I was testing other Faux and Clemsyn Kernels with different OC speeds trying to fix my wifi tethering and now I notice my top bar disappeared altogether under Webtop! Even when I return to the Kernel I was originally using at 1.4 now the top bar is gone.
Don't know which kernel broke it.
Will be testing some more.
Cheers

Anyone found a fix for this yet? I am using Faux 2.0 (now 2.1, but my last test was with 2.0) stock enhanced and the bar is gone so it's pretty useless. Just bought the lapdock from AT&T for $50 as they clear out stock. Might switch to OC kernel so I dont' have such a laggy webtop, and maybe can install programs so it isn't entirely useless.

overclocking question

I just recently rooted my thunderbolt, and I have a few questions about overclocking. I'm not as familiar with the thunderbolt as I am with the moto droid, so I'm not sure what an average speed is to overclock to. On my old droid, I overclocked up to 1.2ghz without any problems. On my thunderbolt, however, when I overclock past 1.267ghz, it freezes and then reboots. I'm not sure if that's normal or if my phone just isn't capable of handling anything more than that, but i feel like most people can get at least to 1.4ghz. Will a different kernel work better with my phone? And what are all of you overclocked to?
edit: forgot to mention i'm running synergy rom in case that makes a difference
Which kernel are you running? The stock synergy one? I don't know if it will make a difference changing them or not, but it could be a voltage problem with that specific kernel and your phone. I think all well at least I thought all Tbolts could handle 1.4ghz.
I personally don't have a problem even if I'm overclocked to 1.92 and extremely undervolted.
Yes, I'm running the kernel that came with synergy rom. So you think if I change the kernel it should work better? Is there a specific one you recommend?
I can't say for sure it will make a difference but it's worth a shot. I really like Imoseyon's kernels.
I've run that kernel. Ziggy tends to be pretty conservative regarding his voltages. You've got several options with a Ziggy kernel. You can write a script to change them. He explains how at ziggy471.com. You can use ScriptFusion, though I'd suggest using the terminal install as the app had some issues when I used it. Or, You could switch up to Imoseyon or dreamkernel, both of which I've found to be a bit more stable at higher clock speeds. 1.41GHz should be the least you should be able to over clock, with most able to do 1.6 and some able to pull off 1.8 or 1.9. Synergy and Ziggy kernels are NOT for the novice. Ziggy kernels aren't really meant to be toyed with my amateurs that aren't comfortable with ADB and basic script writing. ScriptFusion does work well on it though. Some ideas for voltage settings to get you to 1.6GHz: 1.024 should be somewhere around 1050 to 1100, 1.22 around 1150, 1.4 around 1275, 1.6 around 1375. I run my 1.6 at 1400 for stability, but some may be stable as low as 1325 at that speed. It's trial and error. How to test, using the ziggy kernel? Very easy. Open the terminal and enter "echo "xxxxxxx yyyy" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels" where xxxxxxx represents the clock setting and yyyy represents the voltage setting you wish to apply to the clock setting. Omit the quotes. This is useful if the setting is unstable. If it locks up, the phone will restart using original settings. Definitely check Ziggy's site if you're interested in learning how to work with his kernels the right way.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all that. I really don't want to mess around with any scripts, as i'm really not an expert with this stuff. I think I'm going to flash a new kernel and see if it helps. I was thinking of using dreamkernel, but there are three different files and I'm not sure which one to pick...?

Those are the choices. Could you explain to me what the difference is between the three?
Also do you know if jdlfg's kernels are any good? I used to use them on my old droid and I really liked them, but they're not listed under the xda kernel list (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930) so I don't know if they're compatible with my phone. Again, thanks for your help.

Those are merely different revisions of the same kernel. Use the newest one, 2.2.6,... that is, if your synergy build isn't on the newer gingerbread base. If it is, you're stuck with Ziggy's unless a working front facing camera and WiFi are features you couldn't care less about. On the newer gingerbread builds, Imoseyon's have proven faster than dreamkernel. Can't tell you why. From what I've seen of the latest Ziggy's, it simply cannot be clocked fast enough to keep up with Imoseyon or dreamkernel. Can't tell you much about the jdlfg. I thought that was an AOSP kernel. Never used it in any case.

So if I'm on a newer gingerbread build I can't flash any other kernel? How do I know if I'm on a newer gingerbread build? I just flashed synergy rom I believe on July 20th or so, so I guess I am running the newer build.
If I do run lean kernel, my options are GB SENSE DOWNLOADS:
1) lean test, 1) 184Mhz test, 3) Stock kernel, 4) USBfix, 5) 2.5.3test7 kernel, 6) dreamKernel
Which of these would I want? Stock?
Also, it says the GB sense kernel is a test version and has bugs. Should I worry about that?

1 through 5 are all good. Dreamkernel is a bit different, but not bad. I'm using the test to write this on, so its quick and solid. If the nightly is that new, its probably the new base so using one of these will likely mess up your front facing camera and WiFi. Before you flash one of these, try Twistedumbrella's scriptfusion on that Ziggy kernel. That might be the best way to go at this point. If you have any question, hit me up.
I went on ziggy471.com, but I'm a little confused about which article to read about writing scripts. Is it this one? http://www.ziggy471.com/2011/04/07/vdd-smartass-and-cpufreq-sysfs-interfaces-and-how-to-use-them/
I'm kind of hesitant to use script fusion, as I don't want to mess anything up, so I was wondering if you could walk me through it? Or at least point me in the right direction on finding instructions? I looked at the page for scriptfusion, but I didn't understand what a lot of the things meant. I really don't know much about this stuff. If you think it will be too difficult for me, I will just accept not overclocking and hope the wifi issues will be fixed on the other kernels soon.
I alternated between leanKernel & dreamKernel on Gingeritis. Too bad imoseyon hasn't updated Sense leanKernel in almost 4 weeks. I guess he's sticking with cm7

SetCPU works with ziggy's kernel. For the record, SetCPU works with speedtweak as long as you instruct speedtweak to ignore max/min freqs
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
SetCPU works just fine for any kernel. The reason you don't want to use SetCPU with ScriptFusion is they both attempt to do the same thing using the same method; create a script that will alter your settings. The disadvantage of SetCPU is that it's an app that takes up resources. Not a whole lot, but it does. ScriptFusion takes up nothing because it executes the script at boot and it's done. ScriptFusion simply makes writing a fairly complex script fast and easy, but the end result is a script that is written to /system/etc/init.d. Ziggy's kernels allow you more options in scripting than ScriptFusion provides for, if you know how to write the script. Stuff like manipulating the behavior of the governors and the like. That link is correct, and he has answered questions regarding that script on the Synergy Development thread at infectedrom.com. I'd like to help more, but I couldn't even write a script for one of his kernels because his settings are subject to change with every kernel revision. You'd have to know the stepping for the the clock and voltages before you could do anything. That's easy enough to get using the "cat" command, but if you don't know much about linux commands, doing the stuff you need to do can be a little daunting. I would suggest using ScriptFusion, and do a nandroid first. Also, download the GuiltyVirdict which will remove all setting if something goes wrong. If you want to try a speed or voltage setting before applying it through speedtweak.sh, follow what's in that guide. You can do it either through the terminal on your phone or through ADB. I've tried all of it and it does work.

I've been running Synergy Rom/Ziggy's Kernel for about 1.5 months now, minimum I've ran it at is 1.2, max is 1.6. I haven't tried to go above that, but I've never had any issues with it going south on me. I set up a few different profiles, and drop it to about 768 overnight (3am to 7am for me).

That's the right link. If you're reluctant to use scriptfusion, I'm not going to suggest doing a manual script, as that all scriptfusion does in a much easier way. Scripts are the only way to adjust a voltage to make a less than stable clock speed become stable. I get the strong impression virtually ever Tbolt can do 1.41GHz, if not 1.6GHz. Is you're on Gingeritus3D beta5 I'd suggest moving to 6 since Ziggy made noticeable changes to the kernel that improve speed and overclocking. The voltage scale on Ziggy's in beta6 shouldn't require voltage changes to achieve 1.41GHz. ScriptFusion isn't that scary. Give it a try. And if things go real sour, use guilty verdict.

Multitouch problems on Evo 3D with CM7 and Tiamat

On CM7 VALPHA 3 and Tiamat AOSP 1.1.0, I'm having the multitouch issues as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rz3uWFuDkI
Does anybody else experience this? I know it's a ROM/kernel thing, as when I had a different combo installed, things worked okay. Just wish I could get it working with this combination!
Yes Tiamat kernel breaks multitouch on CM7. If you use the stock kernel with CM, multitouch will work better. I use stock an it is plenty fast without overclocking. It's your choice. I choose a better working Rom over overclocking. If you can't live without overclock, then you will have to live with borked multitouch until Tiamat works it out.
Right you are, sir. I got rid of Tiamat, and I'm rolling again. Thanks for the tip!

Cm9 or glitch 14 kernel

Running 6.1 build of ics, no issues at all with stock kernel but was wondering what you guys think of the glitch kernel paired with this rom? Should I make the plunge even though stock is working flawlessly or should I keep stock? I usually don't post questions and figure stuff out for myself but I want the community's opinion on it before I make up my mind. I know its ultimately my decision but any input positive or negative would be appreciated, if you are going to reply please post reasons and not just a yes or no response,
Thanks.

I'm running glitch b3 and...I definitely recommend it if you're into tweaking. Live OC makes a pretty big difference in performance to me.
I'd agree with sendan. You're not losing any functionality with glitch, only gaining features and performance.
Also, it's just a kernel, there's no harm in trying it out. If you don't like it, restore a backup or reflash the rom. It's not like you have anything to lose.
I like glitch too. A live oc around 114-116% and 13xx as max clock makes this phone run like a dream.

Every phone responds differently to OC, *especially* it seems, with the new LiveOC system in v14. I haven't seen any issues reported by people using v14 with completely stock settings, so I wouldn't call the kernel itself unstable, just the utilization of some of the features it includes. I also suspect that a lot of the people that report issues with glitch haven't read and/or taken the time to understand the LiveOC guide that is linked to in the glitch OP.

Definitely agree that for most users the stock kernel is probably best, and it isn't really lacking any features the average user will miss. Except I thought I saw something about 6.1 not including voodoo sound? Not sure about others, but that's a must for me. Anyway, I'm personally running 110% liveOC with 1320mhz max with no undervolting and the phone feels really responsive a good part of the time. It's been good so far but I need to stress test it.

I can definitely see being hesitant with the undervolting, and especially with being able to adust ARM and INT voltages. As I understand it, you could certainly end up with a brick if things are pushed too far.

[Q] aokp vs cm9

I'm currently running cm7.1, and really love it. I'm also really curious about trying out the ics roms and don't know which one to try. has anyone run both? which one did you like most and why? also, if I do a nandroid backup, is that the same as a windows image backup? ...meaning I can reinstall cm7 and glitch kernel, then flash my nandroid backup and be right where I was before I changed anything?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Yes you can restore a nandroid like you said as long as you are on the same ROM.
This is kind of an opinion, but I prefer Teamhacksung, as it is clean and bug-free.
ok cool. sorry about being in the wrong forum at first. so one for team hacksung, anyone else? I just want opinions as I don't think I have the time to try all the ics roms right now
aokp is by far the most solid ICS rom. its more how cyanogen use to be....lots of options to customise. THS cm9 is vanilla, meaning barebones.

Ok cool I think I'm about ready to try some out. One last question, I keep seeing things about how it's not easy to got back to cm7 from ics? Can someone give me some insight on this incase I don't like ics? Something with the different file types? I also want to keep my eh03 radio if I do end up going back to cm7
I'm now a little confused, after reading the guide for installing ROMS, in particular the ICS ones, arent all the ICS Roms based on what is stated- MTD CM9? So is there a difference aokp vs cm9? I guess what would be the large differnces between any two for example? Different kernels?

Here check out this link to the guide for Installing a Rom/CWM recovery/Root or going back to Stock. Go to the fifth section. You can revert to stock gingerbread with EH03 radio from any rom.

well i got impatient and went ahead and did it lol. i went with aokp 40.1 and devil kernel .79. the first try was a disaster, what seemed to work went straight to crash and reboot when waking from the lockscreen. i thought it was my oc i was messing with so i turned it back to stock volts and frequencies. low and behold it did it again but this time would not boot up, would not flash anything from recovery, would not format anything from recovery, it was totally bricked. i even tried reflashing cwm though odin and it was a no go.
finally after a few hrs of gathing info, i flashed the stock froyo rom and it unbricked it and i tried aokp again. this time i used aokp build 40, and devil kernel v.72 and everything is beautiful and works perfect, rock solid stability with 1200mhz multiplier oc, 110% fsb oc on liveoc totaling 1362mhz i think. the ics launchers suck and are laggy for me, i dunno why but go launcher is smoooootthhh and so is everything else on the phone. i cant find anything that doesnt work, im not regretting this or looking back at all, thanks a bunch for the help guys. im also pretty sure its snappier and quicker than cm7.2 was for me on my 1.3ghz overclock and glitch 13.1

ive seen it but was a little wary of it lol. for those wondering and addicted to voodoo color... at first i was worried i would loose the deep color and gamma control that i have with voodoo color, but the device color options do a really good job with it and there is a gamma control and it works great, no washed out colors or anything of that nature. im pretty hardcore on my vivid colors so i have the gamma maxed out minus a tad of green but it looks great.. to me.
for the guy who originally mention v0.85, so far its working great, cleared cache, dalvik, and ran ultimate kernel cleaning script then installed and it seems to be running great. the only thing now is the long term stability test, over a week ive had zero freezes FCs, or any issues with .72, i hope i can get this with .85. it seems a little snappier and nandroid is working again. thanks a bunch for the link, a few hours of searching for it and google still didnt help me. ill get back to everyone on the stability of it for me, running 110% fsb oc on nstools and slightly undervolted. im sure theres a ton of info already on other threads but ill still report back. thanks guys
edit: im still having issues with bln, is there a quick fix with it? it worked right away with my botched install of 40.1 and .79 kernel, witch was completely unstable, but now on 40, and .85 its still not working, any ideas? also on first boot from cold soft keys were unresponsive but seem to be working now. im not complaining as i know there are newer versions of the devil kernel but im trying to find a very good balance of functionality and stability.

[Q] Stock TW 4.1.2 kernel

Hi All,
I'm looking for a stock TouchWiz (TW) Kernel for JB 4.1.2.
No OC, no BLN, just a stock kernel.
I know they are included in several roms, but i'm trying to add it to a rom that doesn't offer a stock kernel version. I found one that was close, but for whatever reason it removed vibration control.
The OC versions (with and without) both remove the function of my capacative buttons.
So my question is... Does anyone have a stock TW 4.1.2, non OC kernel or if not, would a dev be so kind as to rip it and make one available?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

the only thing I can think of which may come close, but I don't know cause you didn't say what ROM you are running and they need to be compatible, might be a KERNEL from BLOWNFUZE. it is 4.1.2 made for BIGFAU and his BLACK JELLY. I was trying to compare what it has and what you dont want. maybe you should look for yourself, you can find it on p.115 of AOKP ROM thread.
might be as close as you can get without finding some one to tear their work apart for a single request. PHASE KERNEL would be the only other I know of, but it has OC/UV.
unless there is something I don't know about, which IS possible as unfortunately I dont know everything.
good luck
whatever you try, make a back up first buddy

The rom I'm running is [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0 but my intention was just to have the kernel as a standalone option for those that just want the stock kernel.
The problem I'm having with the OC kernels (Fuze and Da_G) is that the capacitive lights are not working with them. Fuze's works for for BLN, but i'm not using BLN. Functionally, both of those kernels are super fast and I have no issues with stability or performance.
For now, I'm ok with living without it as it's a nice to have and not a need so I respect your opinion in being the only one to request such a kernel. My sole thought was just to have it as an option for those that don't need/want OC and are fine with stock functionality for the kernel.
I didn't think AOKP kernels could be used with TW roms, am I mistaken in that?

that is true, but as I said and as BLOWNFUZE states in his post, he designed it for BIGFAU and his ROM. its sounds and looks as if ANTHONY has provided an option too. his is the PHASE KERNEL though isn't it ? that's why I went back and edited my original for you to make back up, whatever you do.
let us know what you try and if it works, others may be curious.

I posted a link to a TW Stock rom that was ripped from BlackJelly by Anthony(Stock_TW_4.1.2.zip), Isn't that what you wanted? I haven't tried it as I am running the Fuse Kernel with [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0

Yeah, I realized the BlownFuze was meant for BlackJelly and it works just fine with the ROM I'm using. The [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0 uses the Da_G version 4 which has a slow charge issue, that's why I reverted to v3 which doesn't have the slow charge issue. Da_G is working on that, but even with that Kernel the capacitive buttons don't light up so in that regard, they are both great kernels that OC, and are stable, but don't enable the capacitve so they're in the same boat for me.
The phase kernel I need to try again to verify that the capacitive buttons don't light up, but if memory serves, it only works fluidly with smartass V2 as the governor. Again though, with the capactive issue, it's in the boat with the other OC roms.
Those were the only Kernels (one exception that I'll note in response to the next post) for 4.1.2 TW that I was able to locate which lead me to the post. I certainly have headed your advice regarding a backup and I have 2 just in case .
As I said, it's a nice to have, not a requirement. I'll update this if anything changes.

Yeah, I tried that one as Anthony linked it in the thread, but it removed vibration for me and I ended up missing several notifications during work hours because of it.
Otherwise, it worked just fine in terms of capacitive buttons lighting up. You're welcome to try it and confirm my findings.

my bad GPFERROR. good eye in finding that
I had a nandroid of the stock 4.1.2 ROM so I just went into TWRP and restored only the boot image from the stock ROM which gave me the stock kernel. Everything is working fine.

i have been running phase kernel on stock rooted 4.1.2 for months and have never had issue with lights not working. are you sure its not a rom issue. and the obvious did you check to make sure touch key lights are not turned off?

****EDIT**** Confirmed that it's not a kernel issue.
Thanks for this info, I suppose I didn't think about it being a ROM issue that would impact the lights. I have double and triple checked that setting toggeled it off/on and tried each one of the options with each kernel.
I guess I just assumed it was the kernel.
Any idea what in the ROM controls that? I'll reply in the original thread to see if we can figure that out.
Thanks very much for confirmation that it's not the phase kernel that' causing the touch key lights issue.
