[NAND][ROM] CyanogenMod 7 : kernel updates

i'm using mini tool partition wizard 7
edit: just trying my 2nd sd card,it stuck at boot
will do some experiment now,i'll tell you later if i found something
had a full cycle with the latest battery driver an a very strange lower end voltage behaviour. at 1% it suddenly jumped up to 97%, 94%, etc. (something between 90% and 99%) and back again several times. Voltage went lower than 3400mV. then phone went immediately off without shutting down and now it doesn't boot again because of battery to low. needed to put in bootloader to get some recharge for booting... -> 1min was enough
batter level was 99% after plugged reboot
so something is still wrong with lower end voltage...
has someone the same experiences?

when this is solved the driver would be perfekt i think
would this rom kernel keep updating?
you don't have to do it. it was only a question of course but thanks
surely you should do your stuff first
i ment there's a unknown point when charging with 100%, where the indicator starts to go down again. this one i've to strike to get better battery life but i never got the battery life i had with indicator stucked at 1%
Hey Elibl, my phone started giving that 1% issue when i flashed over to IceDroid, how did you fix it?
thx for pointing me to the new thread didn't recognize it yet!
the 1% appeared for me by using immediately after battery drain down a fully external charged battery. so the level in system was at 1% with fully charged battery.
it was solved for me after one full drain down. after reboot level was updated
or did you already fully drain down?
then maybe wipe battery stats in cwm with fully recharged...
sorry my english isn't the best...

battery driver works now perfectly in my opinion thx zargloub
just to report a bug (had it several times now) sometimes the phone goes to a deepsleep or something like that (it's totally dead) then the phone runs hot and battery drains down very very fast. it's annoying when the alarm in the morning doesn't work when normally there should still be battery remaining and i think it's also not that good for the accu.
and another thing: zargloub i wanted to ask kindly if you could also take a look at the usb driver if you've got time and the motivation to do so. if it's kernel related and not rom. there're still some bugs like debugging notification or mass storage (both not woking for me)

For the battery, i think too it's ok now. I will work on the rest of list (when i'll have some time free).
I had one time the hot phone and battery drain. Don't know what is cause and don't know how to reproduce ... impossible to correct.
For the usb, works perfectly for me. Maybe a problem with your device ?

I recently tried it out with my device (I normaly don't use mass storage etc)
When I connect to my PC I can access the phone via adb.
On the Phones Screen, when I open the status bar, there is the common message "USB Connection" normaly with other devices I have to press this and activate Mass storage. But when I press it I get the home screen.
I have no mass storage connection on pc (doesn't show in Explorer)
i can reproduce it by making a call for a longer time (more than 15mins) then it always happens but weird is that the call remains while everything is dead
but i understand nearly impossible to correct you're right
for the usb it drives me insane (adb is also not working for me) i had/have the problem on 2 phones but if it works perfectly for you it must be something what i am doing wrong
sorry for the annoyance with this
EDIT: the same for me like fauntelroy and neoofoox

i tried that too,,
sometimes when i choose the usb mass storage mode after plug in the usb it work flawlessly but sometimes it just don`t work and i got back to home screen.

Great, i can try to reproduce (i have a illimited phone bill).
Works with phone pluged ?
i have the stay awake option enabled to avoid the deepsleep don't know if it appears with disabled and plugged---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
it also nearly everytime happened for me after charging fully and wiping battery stats in cwm what was really annoying because i couldn't reach a full cycle for calibrating (again at the moment after flashing your latest kernel)

The problem appears while running cwm or android ?

31Hi, i work on kernel only, from Alexander's repository.
You can update only the kernel whith fastboot, using boot img from archive.
Of course, given "as it", if your phone may unlikely be damaged, i'm not responsible for it. I'm just sharing with interrested people work i do for myself.

This new corrects :
* framebuffer that isn't updated after resume while there isn't external event.
(black screen when out of suspend)
* battery management
Remaining to do :
* libgps
* Fix the Wifi indicator up in the status bar to correspond to its signal strength + wifi & BT mac adress
* Wifi crash when connected and device suspended
* When go to plane mode and come back from it, phone call terminate immediatly.
* Often, data connexion need to be relaunched
* better camera support + frontal camera
* fat partition on sdcard at boot (but not prioritary on my mind, and might not be a kernel problem).
* fm radio
* Light sensor for the LCD

Found battery datasheet : http://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/280/DS2746-pdf.php
There's a register to correct accum capacity register increase. Added support of it when battery seems full and not charging anymore.
Found more information about the accu capacity register. So i modifyed the comportement (accum value correction) for low value.
But not tested, battery still not low enough.
Edit : low value accum value correction does not work at all. You should not use this version. Ill reread datasheet monday.
Edit2: bug of shame found :-s
unsigned char i2c_msg[3];
i2c_msg[0] = r;
- i2c_msg[2] = v & 0xFF;
+ i2c_msg[1] = v & 0xFF;

Battery improvments again : better support of low voltage (and low power correspond now to 15%), prevent indicator from going lower than 15% when voltage is still correct.

minimum cpu freq down to 19 (actualized in boot.img-ramdisk/init.kovsky.rc too)
prevent from keys wake up screen (when in your pocket)
This version seems not working well, but i don't know wich commit you'll have to revert
I won't work anymore on the kernel, because my battery is dead and i will buy a new phone.

Some people asked me how to rebuild boot.img. Here is a way to do.
You should use debian whith classic dev tools packages (arm gcc, git, etc ...).
It's easyier to make a script to make compilation and resend by fastboot.
# Get boottools
git clone https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BootTools.git
cd BootTools
make
cd ..
# Get and build kernel (if you want to use mine)
git clone git://gitorious.org/~poussevin/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/tp-alex-linux-xperia.gi
t -b android-2.6.35
cd tp-alex-linux-xperia
cp arch/arm/configs/htc_msm_android_defconfig .config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k modules
rm -rf modules_path
mkdir modules_path
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules_path modules_install
cd ..
# Recreate bootdir
rm -rf newboot
mkdir newboot
cd newboot/
# Unpack original boot.img
export PATH=../BootTools/:$PATH
cp ../boot.img .
../BootTools/unpack-bootimg.sh boot.img
rm -rf boot.img-ramdisk/lib
# Replace image
cp ../tp-alex-linux-xperia/arch/arm/boot/zImage boot.img-kernel
# Change minimum cpu freq
sed -i 's/min_freq 122880/min_freq 19200/g' boot.img-ramdisk/init.kovsky.rc
# Add modules
cp -rf ../tp-alex-linux-xperia/modules_path/* boot.img-ramdisk
# Rebuild boot.img
rm boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz
cd boot.img-ramdisk
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz
cd ..
mkbootimg --cmdline "fbcon=rotate:2 smd_rpcrouter.hot_boot=1 no_console_suspend" --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot_new.img
cp boot_new.img ../boot.img
cd ..
rm -rf newboot7I think I finally have gotten somewhere with the battery drain. Alex had written some code to turn of power to the LCD-panel, but he had put a "return;" in front of it. I removed it and Voilá: Lower battery drain
You do get some artifacts on the screen when going out of suspend. I think this is just an annoyance, but I have just tested it since last night.
I just uploaded a boot.img file.4The percentage is calculated from Volt readings and not storage capacity (mAh)
It's a bit more complicated.
There's an internal register in the battery, that increase or decrease, managed by battery chip.
We can correct values, when we estimate it's not good, in the driver (for example, if you don't do anything, the register grows while it's pluged, even if charge finished).
We estimate in the driver the "full" value of this register, and calculate ratio with it.
