Hi. Works not by me. I get red led light.

You can install Mokee OS to feel the HALO experience and a lot of anothers features like PIE, ListView animations (very funny), etc..

MKOS is in RC state and have daily updates.

@Blechd0se this kernel is not working OK for me, it consumes all available memory causing services to fail and restart continuously and my launcher to be killed all the time. A much worse user experience overall.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

@Blechdose: Unfortunately, your new kernel isn't working well for me too. Even though I don't have problems as severe as @ccav2000 had, I notice much less available RAM.

To compare this, I cleaned it with the system manager of TrustGo (a very good virus scanner with a small memory footprint BTW!), which leads to 70 MB of available RAM with your kernel, whereas with Quarx's latest kernel, I have 200 MB of available RAM doing the same procedure!

So, with your new kernel, I have so little available mem that large apps such as Navigon are not even able to start.
Therefore I'm back to Quarx's latest kernel for now.

However, I really appreciate your latest changes (they look very promising!) and hope that you fix the memory problem soon! :fingers-crossed:

Kernel Seems to work fine here.....

@Blechd0se in the end my OCD won, got a dmesg for you, also here is a screenshot of my RAM status with your kernel right after boot.

Custom recovery also dont works... :crying:

I have the same issue, with the new kernel by Blechd0se my device doesn't boot.

@Djonmayer, if you don't want to flash a sbf to restore your defy, just flash the unlocked recovery and then the latest build by quarx (or a working kernel). You will lose no data/app

Attempting to boot without zcache now, let's see if it will make a difference.

And yes, problem found, without zcache the problem is gone. @Blechd0se, seems there's a problem with zcache, kills the RAM in some of us.

Thanks for your help. But I get "E:signature verification failed" message in stock recovery now...

Ah i see, thanks for log. Btw. did you overclock cpu?

I can reproduce the low-ram problem, i just didn't notice the difference in UI. It was the same for me having 50mb free or 200mb.
Everything was running well For those of you who encountered problems; just delete cmdline in my update.zip before flashing
or delete "zcache" manually in /system/bootmenu/2ndboot/cmdline
I have some ideas about this problem, need to investigate it, but maybe its intended because zcache stores its transparent
pages directly in ram (obviously compressed) and therefore its not "good" for memory hungry applications and a swap
partition such as zram is recommended. You can try enabling zram and see if your applications runs smarter.
We can set the space zcache takes in ram, maybe i should look there.

Zcache is probably usefull for those who have either no problems with big apps or for those who already use some sort
of swap. At least oracle recommends that and because its only a bootparameter its easy to change. Need to find the sweet spot here

Yes I overclocked to 1.2GHz and is working quite well for me . Zcache should not be enabled by default in my opinion since it can cause issues.

I'm sorry, mi last wifi fix zip didn't make the changes for the file wifical.sh and wifical.sh_disabled. This one does it all, I hope

 

[warewolf4586]

Thanks for your reply ANTIGA PRIME,

First off, try this.

I am not having wifi jamming problem.. wifi is not switching ON, it's just trying to switch on and fails to do so.
anyways, m really excited to see this thread, new wifi firmware, hope it solves my problem that is stopping me to try any build after 0703 ( CM10 or CM10.1), I hope, I have to just follow the instructions provided that are there in that thread ( even if wifi is not working at all )

Second, you can't unzip a file that is meant to be flashed through recovery. If you want/need to add/delete/change files, you need to do it without unzipping the file, preferably with 7zip.

Thanks for this, i'll try to replace that /wifi folder, without unzipping (using 7zip)

Third, if anything, you shouldn't have deleted the /system/etc/wifi folder. If you did in fact delete that folder, you'll never get wifi to turn on.

Actually I replaced it with the wifi folder of last build that worked for me ( CM10 0703 ), hoping that it contained wifi driver installation.

You shouldn't have to delete any wifi folder with the newer builds to get it to work. Maybe you hadn't wiped your /data partition before flashing; if not, next time you could either do a full wipe, which includes /data and /system, and then try again, or delete the /data/misc/wifi folder, which might have contained information regarding your previous setup, since you didn't wipe /data.

The procedure I followed was full wipe for newer builds (always).
I deleted the " /data/misc/wifi " as quoted in many threads.

I will try the new firmwares and get back later, thanx

heard about zswap yet?

it's like zram but compresses the pages written to disk and therefore saves lot of i/o (up to 50-80%) and is also useful to minimize wearing out of flash cells...

recommended for slow harddisks and ssds... afaik integrated since (linux) kernel 3.9 but also available as a kernel module...

Does it work with CM10 as well?

 

[niksy+]

@Blechd0se Been using the new kernel for about 4 hours and it seems to be working perfectly fine! I did disable zcache (deleted it from cmdline) before flashing it.

The battery drain during stand-by seems to have improved, but I can't really be sure after just a few hours

 

[woodman]

Does it work with CM10 as well?

Yes it does !

 

[Neurom707]

Is the overclock only to 1Ghz? or can i find a kernel with higher oc?

The kernel hasn't got much to do with overclocking... Go into bootmenu to set your clocks. My 4th clock is 1100mhz with vsel set at 54. But not every CPU is the same and not every can work with the same amount of power - some can work with even less, some need more. For 1.1ghz, start from 57 and try getting it lower, one by one. For 1.2ghz, start at 63, or something like that I guess (haven't pushed mine to 1.2 yet)

 

[configuration]

Yesterday I tried to install 26/06.
However, after installation there was no launchbar (Icons at the bottom).
I redownloaded the build and reinstalled, didn't work. Still the same problem.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
