Update 22/04/11

time for a new build again

minor tweaks in this version and one large change

changelog:
Minor tweaks to kernel
Removed 1.6ghz Overclock
Tweaked 1.504ghz should work better
Added 1.3ghz clock speed
Finally managed to uncap the framerate of device, now hitting over 100fps on some items,
thanks to dexter_nlb for pointing me in the right direction on the above

overclock should be pretty much rock solid up to 1.4ghz but above that you may see lockups, also not all devices are the same and some will not handle overclock as well

glad to see this out now and not a second to soon, now every one who download and contributes to this thread really needs to look into logcating i believe that will help out a lot with trouble shooting

I strongly feel that the UNDERDOG DS7 with DJ's hand will blow all other fancy expensive **** out of the water .

This is unbelievably only first day of dev's output ...

Second day with the device. I don't have interwebz so in out till Monday! Oh well enjoy

Running now.

Quand Score 3020!

So far so good. No issue encountered yet.

Edit1
Dungeon Defender Stuck the entire device everytime it runs. But it's ok. Their updates failed even under 2.2.2 sometimes too.

Edit 2
Every HD videos / H.264 will freeze unless I set the SetCPU profile as 216 - 1400 mhz.
Previously was 1200 - 1400 mhz (maybe this is too greedy of a setting)

Getting my Unit Tuesday, My replacement, was thinking about sellign for Acer Iconia, but now the Dj_steve got this rolling, cant wait.

Thanks

flash cwr. wipe then flash. I like whats in store for the s7! love having the underdog. and with dj at the helm goods things to come i suspect.

How are you finding battery life with oc?

jiwengang · Apr 16, 2011

Put profile for screen off at 216-1400. Battery burning almost twice faster. So now I am testing with off screen setting 216-800 and lets see how

Some of my settings won't stock with setcpu after reboot

best bet to set the speeds after reboot manually anyway

I always put it on the min for both the min/max when the screen is off(usually power save or conservative governor depending on the kernel). I mean you really need close to zero cpu when your screen is off so running it even at 800 is a waste of power. I would suggest doing a screen off profile of a min/max of 216/216. It also helps keep the temp down

In case people didn't know this includes binaries to easily remount your system partition. They are pretty self-explanatory.

rosystem
rwsystem

you can use those in any terminal program you choose (or an adb shell). Steve - you should drop AppWidgetPicker.apk into the system/app folder, makes a much nicer widget selection dialog. Also, maybe you could remove the extra crap, like it doesn't need to flash the modem or recovery, I was just too lazy to remove those extra steps from the install script.

Thanks for this! Flashing now.

Gps is broken for me...
04-16 08:37:11.181: ERROR/gps_BRCM(1146): Failed to connect to the gps driver (/dev/socket/gps) errno(2)

Restored my backup to be sure - no problem there. I re-added some of the apk's to /system/app that were removed, as my first attempt to get it working. If this doesn't work, I am going to try to revert some of the lib changes you made, maybe one of those is b0rking something up. Not an apk, going to restore and just flash your boot.img and see how that works out...

Alright, did another restore, tested again (fine)... this time I included the old lib directory and got massive kernel panics (made a second attempt at this thinking I did something wrong - boots fine, no GPS, gotta be in the kernel - right?). Guess the last test is to just flash your boot image...

Last test - restored backup flashed your boot.img (think it flashed - no error returned). Booted up fine, GPS - a no go). Gotta be a kernel thing.

DJ_Steve · Apr 16, 2011

yep yep and yep

ive also stablised the overclock more, pushed the voltages up slightly but its made it far more stable and doesn seem to lockup here now, will upload new build later, adding some other edits to kernel too, also can someone on here please go ask some of the devs in the folio 100 and gtab forums what they had to change in nvrm_daemon to up the framerates as it appears the 7 is locked to 59fps at moment,

fps2d will show this for reference:
streak 7 @ 1.4ghz = 59fps max
Notion ink adam @ 1.0 ghz but with a 78hz modded nvrm hits 70fps easily

and new build is up folks check first post

Does this address the gps issue?

Yes. GPS is no go for me too.

Downloaded the new build. Now flashing.

New Build GPS is not yet there. Theme is great! Will explore more and update this post.

All previous freezes when watching H.264 HD video or other HD videos is gone! Yes it is more stable now!
