Guest zzleezz Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm having some weird weirdness going on. 1. Update to 1.08, wait 15 minutes, do a manual power cycle, check settings, definitely 1.08 2. Install r6, do a manual power cycle, check settings, definitely r6 update installed. 3. Install custom kernel, do a manual power cycle, definitely MCK kernel installed 4. Restore missing apps + data, manual power cycle, restore launcher pro settings. And then all is lovely. For about 5 minutes. I use USB switcher to switch back to Host. Reboot. And then everything goes slow. Check settings and I am back at 1.065, with R6 installed but no MCK kernel. I've done this twice now just to check I wasn't going mad. Can anyone shed any light? Yeah, reading a couple of posts above it seems using the USB host/slave switching program actually changes the kernel. That was something I didn't appreciate last night when testing the ntfs test r3.

Guest emergant Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 For now, yes, but i'll build a MCK kernel with the host bits in for the new switcher. P Paul, I'm curious if now you have the source there may be a better way of switching modes? Could this be built as two modules for example you could then switch without a reboot? Something tells me its not that simple but I thought I'd ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah, my thoughts exactly, i'm gonna look into it. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warriorscot Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah, my thoughts exactly, i'm gonna look into it. P Surely Advent most have tried this, if it was that easy wouldn't they have done it. Might be worth asking them if they have tried it or whether they just looked at it and decided it was too much work to even try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dan Holliday Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Tun support in the kernel is also awsome. I have been waiting for this the most. But. Openvpn is not working on r6 I think there is something funky with the ifconfig/busybox settings or version. Its not the kernel because itf logs in and sets up the tunnel correctly its just not setting the ip on the interface . Hi just lookup instructions for installing busybox manually. And make sure you install to /system/xbin/bb The command line is something like Busybox --install -s /system/xbin/bb Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marshy84 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've been reading this thread and was wondering if someone could clarify something for me? Does this kernel have USB host or do we still need to use the switch app? Will we ever be able to have USB host/salve @ the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just might be possible to have a single kernel support both modes but not simultaneously you'd still have to switch between them. We'll just have to wait and see what Paul and other devs can do in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonta Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Remember that the kernel is in boot.img and the slave/host mode switcher reflashes boot.img so currently, switching USB will replace r2mck with stock kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Holliday Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Can someone please help with CIFSManager I am totally lost. Not sure what your issue is but i found i could only get it working by using ip address instead of host name. And you had to put guest in the user nane if you dont have a user name or password set for the smb share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Holliday Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Have you enabled USB debugging in the Settings -> Application -> Development screen ? I found that once i turned usb debugging on i then had to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in again. Then adb devices would show my device. Also make sure you install the usb drivers from the download. And when i tried on windows 7 i couldnt get it to work. Although i didnt try that hard. Worked perfectly on windows xp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest feeta Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ohboy! You have some reading to do mate ;) Made a good start tho, you are on the right track but got a little lost towards the end. ADB is run from your windows/mac/linux computer with the vega connected with a USB lead. Now you know that I am sure you can figure out the rest (hint, ADB is part of the android SDK (Software Dev Kit)). The files you downloaded need to be on your computer so they can be "pushed" to the vega. And to get a quadrant score install "quadrant" from the android market ;) Have fun! Thanks for your help zzleezz, I got it all sorted and am now running the MCK r2 and MCR r6 quite happily. I'm currently getting a quadrant score of 2358 but was getting 2408 with just the stock 1.08 Kernel (not that the extra 50 makes any difference! :D ) Think I've got my head around most of the basics now :D Cheers.

Worked perfectly on windows xp Well I have now tried all this first on my XP 32bit laptop,seems to install drivers correctly,but adb devices is empty.So I tried it again on my Win 7 64bit big unit and exactly the same happens,I get the Android Composite ADB Interface inside android Phone,NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device,and the 2 usb entries,on both machines and yet typing adb devices always comes back empty.I am almost ready to give up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OwenRW Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just to mention... I updated to R2 and the battery life has DECREASED considerably. Although a somewhat unscientific metric... On the stock 1.08 kernel, I would lose approx. 20% battery over a 24 hr period in standby. With R2, I am now losing around 15% in standby over a 12 hr period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pyr0x64 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 if i try adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors it only shows me: performance powersave shouldn't ondemand be listed there too?

Guest warriorscot Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just to mention... I updated to R2 and the battery life has DECREASED considerably. Noticed this myself wouldn't say it's much worse but it is noticeably drawing slightly more power over night losing 15-16% instead of 8-10% and seems to do so during use but thats harder to judge.

Guest rlane Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I'm seeing the same as Owen, R2 gave a higher power drain. Edit: Shaddy, what did you remove/leave in? got a list? Edited January 30, 2011 by rlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a few days ago so I cannot quite remember but I do know I took out TelephonyProvider.apk and Phone.apk but I think that was all.

Guest Sheanie Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Got mine running 1.08 with the new kernel and r6 additions etc. QUADRANT OF 2352, but does seem a little laggy. Battery % will be the teller... will report that back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alberbg Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Noticed something worrying there are more little screen errors like little lines when screen is in use. Hi all: +1 Anyway many many thanks to Paul for his contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
