Has anyone else noticed that it does not seem as if the cpu is using steps 3 & 4 very much? I have a lot of time logged at step 1, 2, and 5. What could cause this?

Did you change the speed of stepping 3 and 4? If the answer is yes... then CPU spy won't show them being used... if the answer is no... they are only being used when ramping up or down... they shouldn't have very much use.

1 will have use when between sleep (screen off) and deep sleep (everything that CM7 can shut down)
2 will have use when idle and screen on
3 and 4 when transitioning between idle and full speed
5 when you are using the nook

Hope this helps.

Ok, it looks like it was Maps with the highest partial wake. I normally go onto task manager and kill maps, and a few other things. I don't think I did that last night.

As for the locale part, if you read the thread suggested earlier, on the second post it said to d/l locale too...

Download and install Locale execute plugin <--- this? It's a free plugin for Locale, which again, works in Tasker. The code there is all Tasker, nothing about Locale other than the plugin.

Stop guessing and look at Spare Parts Battery usage for Partial Wake lock.

thanks Khaytsus, for the tip on partial wake lock in spare parts. its seems that maps is the culprit. it makes perfect sense, it must be checking on our location. that explains why turning off wifi and Background data syncing fixes deep sleep.

I can use a task manager to kill maps but it will just come back and relaunch itself. any suggestion on what is the best solution in keeping maps turned off until it is needed. - thanks

Mine with nightly 122 and OC 6/30 has the same pattern. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for IMEI app that allows free XDA
to function correctly.

I wanted to post in this thread about my continuing PBD woes as well. I'm currently on n118 and 6/30 OC; and, like the poster above, I've experienced PBD with every nightly since ~n87. Since the "fix" went into the nightlies, I've rebooted at least 100 times, and I've wiped the batt stats after the install of every new nightly. Nothing has worked, and my PBDs appear to be here to stay with the .32 builds.

It currently happens at ~10%.

Are any of the devs currently working on a more effective fix, or has everyone decided that it works "well enough" at this point?

As always, I love the work done so far! I'm just wondering if I should stop holding out hope that this bug ever gets truly resolved...?

PS: Happy Birthday America!! :)

Wanted to also to update that my PBD hasn't subsided, still going at 15%.
Drops rapidily from 3500 to 3050 from 25% to 15% even with no use (ie watching battery stats)
Have beenwiping battery stats after full charge etc.
Just an update

well, its been about 3hrs since I log out of latitude and Im happy to report that my nook has been deep sleeping all this time. according to cpu spy, deep sleep 95% and the 5% was shared between 300 and 600 :D

I think this is the trick to long deep sleep. Im going to turn on live wallpaper and see what happens. its going to be interesting to see how it goes over night. so far so good.

Just to add: I've never had problems with deep sleep and I've also never signed into latitude.


About PBD:
Its on my to-do list but it isn't at the top yet =(
It seems to have gotten better for most folks who have been rebooting regularly so I'm working on other things for now.

Things on my to-do list:
-Merge OMAP SoC optimizations into the CM7 framework(this helps us and lays the foundation for OMAP4 support in CM7)
-Figure out why our Wifi driver sucks and is causing SODs for some people
-Media optimizations, including Flash hw overlay support and perhaps 720p DSP decoding(media optimizations are dependent on the OMAP SoC optimizations first)
-Merge OC kernel into CM7
-Look into PBD again
...etc

Any chance of emmc optimization? Seems slower on the nook vs dinc, same nightly. Fantastic work so far look forward to the next release.

Does increase bluetooth range (especially headphones), wifi-bluetooth optimization of resources (when using video intense apps like flash and bluetooth keyboard on web pages), and bluetooth keyboard consistency fall in your realm (seems to cut out a lot)?

By the way many thanks for all your efforts. I have been using USB keyboards with Nook Tweaks but still like the concept of using my xoom android specific bluetooth keyboard with enhancement added especially for the nook.

...seconded, I can't get a bluetooth keyboard to do anything other than pair up and get connected. No keystrokes are registered.

    Using this kernel is at your own risk. Before flashing make backups!!!

    Overview
    -In addition to the general CPU overclock the DSP and possibly the L3 bus are overclocked to levels comparable to other higher end OMAP3 SOCs. This should result in a minor speed up in video decoding among other things. Occip pointed out that the L3 bus is set in the boatloader and kernel values are ignored. I still need to investigate this.
    I feel comfortable with the overvolt used in these kernels for a few reasons. Omap cpus automatically reduce voltage based on load and stability. The voltage gating in omap processors is very advanced. Absolute voltages set in the kernel are only a maximum for a given clock rate. The cpu should seldom reach the defined maximum. In addition the highest overvolt used is very small ~0.05v.​

    Common Features for 2.6.32 builds
    -As of 06/09/11 the CPU clock can be customized via this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104039
    -Overclockable to 1200mhz and 1100mhz. Must be set with an app like SetCPU unless running CM7. CM7 has overclocking under Cyanogenmod settings. DO NOT use SetCPU profiles with CM7.
    -****Small overvolt**** compared to the stock 3621 specs. This is running at the same voltage as the omap3630 which is very similar to our CPU.
    -1.2ghz is overvolted slightly more compared to 1.1ghz. Resultant voltage is dependent on your particular hardware. It will attempt to dynamically scale to keep stability.
    -Available clock speeds: 300mhz, 600mhz, 800mhz, 1100mhz, 1200mhz
    -Partial fix for strange touchscreen edge behavior brought to you by deeper-blue.
    -Smartass CPU governor. Very similar to the Interactive governor found in my 2.6.29 kernel but with a built in SetCPU profile-like functionality. CPU clock speed is limited to 3-600mhz when the screen is off.
    -Various performance tweaks.​


    Kernel Downloads


    * This kernel is included in CM7 starting with nightly 132 and will be CM 7.1 stable. There is no need to flash a separate kernel unless you are running Stock Froyo 1.2.
    * 2.6.29 releases are discontinued and no longer supported. They will remain hosted for those that might need them.
    * There are separate builds for CM7 and stock 1.2 Froyo
    * 2.6.32 CM7 builds currently do not work with the stable CM7 builds until CM7.1. You need to use CM nightlies until 7.1 is released.

    * All 2.6.32 kernels require an updated u-boot from B&N 1.2 Froyo. If your Nook has "Read Forever" or a green Cyanogenmod logo on the screen when you boot then you have the latest version. If it says something else then you need to update.

    -1.1ghz froyo test kernel. It has not been extensively tested. Please report results.
    [1/23/11] - 1.1ghz kernel added
    -This kernel is stable on my Nook after 10 Quadrant runs. Still boots everytime as well.
    -Renamed the 1ghz kernel to match new 1.1ghz kernel

    [1/23/11] - New 1ghz kernel added
    -This kernel is an experiment it uses more Omap3630 settings than the previous kernel which seems to make it stable for me.
    -I don't expect this kernel will be stable for everyone but for those that could get
    950mhz to work, you may be able to get this 1ghz kernel working.
    -Only short term stability testing so far. YMMV


    Install Instructions:
    All kernels are CWM flashable.
    If not using CWM, unzip the contents of the update and push uImage onto /boot partition. Then you will need to copy the system folder.
    Code:
    if flashing to sdcard:
         adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /emmc
         adb push uImage /emmc/uImage
         adb remount
         adb push system /system
    
    if flashing internal eMMC
         adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /emmc
         adb push uImage /emmc/uImage
         adb remount
         adb push system /system
    
    Reboot Nook!

    If you have problems with force closing apps or poor performance, clear the dalvik cache and regular cache.
    DO NOT use the Rom Manager option to wipe data and cache. You do not want to wipe data. Just boot into CWR
    and wipe cache, then under advanced wipe dalvik cache.
    Note that the first boot after clearing the caches will take longer than normal.

    Yes....This color is hideous.

    well, its been about 3hrs since I log out of latitude and Im happy to report that my nook has been deep sleeping all this time. according to cpu spy, deep sleep 95% and the 5% was shared between 300 and 600 :D

    I think this is the trick to long deep sleep. Im going to turn on live wallpaper and see what happens. its going to be interesting to see how it goes over night. so far so good.

    Just to add: I've never had problems with deep sleep and I've also never signed into latitude.


    About PBD:
    Its on my to-do list but it isn't at the top yet =(
    It seems to have gotten better for most folks who have been rebooting regularly so I'm working on other things for now.

    Things on my to-do list:
    -Merge OMAP SoC optimizations into the CM7 framework(this helps us and lays the foundation for OMAP4 support in CM7)
    -Figure out why our Wifi driver sucks and is causing SODs for some people
    -Media optimizations, including Flash hw overlay support and perhaps 720p DSP decoding(media optimizations are dependent on the OMAP SoC optimizations first)
    -Merge OC kernel into CM7
    -Look into PBD again
    ...etc

    I will no longer be releasing this kernel separately from CM7. It will be merged into CM7 as the default kernel. I will keep this thread alive for Stock 1.2 users.

    By default CM7 will use a 32 bit framebuffer as it always has. If you prefer 16 bit for performance, like what is in this OC kernel, then you will be able to switch it via Nook Color Tweaks.

    Once this update is merged it will contain a few other changes. The biggest change other than the kernel is the GPU drivers and libraries. These have been updated to a much newer and supposedly faster release. The wifi driver has also been updated.

    In a separate commit I will also be moving us back to lcd density 160. I've stuck with 161 for a long time now due to a bug in the Android Market. Fortunately, the new Market has fixed the issue and we can now move back to a 160. This will allow more apps to better scale to our display.

    I honestly don't know what else can be done to improve Bluetooth. As of now we've backported 2.6.35+ bluetooth drivers and software to use on the Nook. Most of the important parts are controlled by a closed source proprietary firmware. Not much I do there.

    For those that use Bluetooth and are comfortable with Android and Linux, you could try different bluetooth firmware/script. This is a .bts file.

    I want to stress that last point.

    When the kernel went from 2.6.29 to 2.6.32, the bluetooth driver was completely re-implemented (that is, bluetooth was enabled, not once, but two totally different ways for you people..) using a backport of the 2.6.35 driver. So rather than using a simple bluetooth hci driver, CM7.1 uses a "shared transport" driver-- a newer, fresher way of doing things that requires a userspace daemon running ("uim") that interfaces with its counterpart in the kernel("kim") which manages traffic coming from 2ndary bluetooth, FM radio, and (if nook had it) GPS drivers-- because all three can be on one low-cost wireless chip. Which is pretty amazing actually. So since they're sharing the same chip, they need a "traffic cop" to communicate to the rest of the computer, and that's what the kim (kernel init manager) /uimd (user init manager daemon?) shared transport is about.

    Now in the nook's case, there is no antenna for the FM radio (until someone adds one), and no GPS hardware at all. The nook has a WL1271 in case anyone cares. But just as the wifi (which is also on that chip) has its own firmware that is installed at boot via "wlan_loader" (see /init.encore.rc), the bluetooth chip does too-- and basically it's initialized via a "bts" (bluetooth script I think) file provided by Texas Instruments that is run at boot by kim at uim's request, if I remember correctly.

    To quote myself:

    There are several versions of TI's bluetooth initialization script, called the "bts" script. You can get them here:

    https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/wilink_drivers/

    The .bts files (such as TIInit_7.2.31.bts) may be placed in:

    /system/etc/firmware

    and will automatically be loaded when needed. Try different versions and experiment to see if some work better others. (Watch the log and dmesg to verify that the bts script is running properly)

    These .bts files are custom-written by TI to initialize the bluetooth hardware, and I think that would include setting up power levels and stuff that might be affecting signal strength and all the complaints everyone has. As there are several versions of this file (oddly many sharing the same name), it is still up to *you* to try them all and see which works best for the encore. Who knows, you may stumble onto one that extends the signal by a mile. You can even bat your eyes and petition TI to whip up one custom for the nook. So go on, be a hero.

    Anyway, that's where things stand with that. TMI? Well, you asked.

    One last thing, from Dalingrin's list:

    -Merge OMAP SoC optimizations into the CM7 framework(this helps us and lays the foundation for OMAP4 support in CM7)

    I really want to stress for everyone how much work this is, and that everyone owes Dal some beers or something. I know how much work this is because I went through it once several months back (way before .32 was ported, so the tree went stale and it all ended up being worthless), and it was a monster of a project. But it will be many hours well spent-- the Nook COLOR is based on the OMAP3 system (OMAP3621 if you care)-- but when Dal gets this done and accepted into CM7, it will make the CM7 framework OMAP4-friendly for new, as-yet-unknown devices in the years to come...

    So scroll back up, and thank him again.
