Me using the latest version and the drive app doesn't launch at the first time i.e. just gets stuck on the loading screen then have to quit the app and restart it then it works normally !!! Can't tell u abt the battery though as prior to the installation of fastern9 i had wazapp issues which used to drain the battery, but i still manage to get 25-30 hours on a single full charge !!

I think you got it, probably it's related to FirewallPlus Pro. Maybe the corruption Arie had was related to FirewallPlus Pro + FasterN9 too.

I attached a fixed version to the first post. Please stress test it and report back, I want to release 0.9.11 as 1.0 stable. And I think I figured out how to use the deadline I/O scheduler without causing problems (big performance gain), but that will be considered an unstable version, after 1.0.

Sorry I'm (very) late. I tryed to follow that guide to recover from malf some times, and every time when I finished & successfully rebooted the phone wouldn't remember any account password anymore. Deleting accounts wouldn't help, so I ended up reflashing.

It was a lot faster, and since I keep habitual backups and stuff... data corruption would be annoying, but not a disaster. Plus, if it's a command line option, it will keep people who don't know what they're doing from playing with it.

Anyone reading, please beware these instructuions may lead to data corruption.

To change to my prefered scheduler

Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
echo deadline > scheduler

To list available schedulers:

Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
cat scheduler

The schedulers' specific tunables are in the 'iosched' subdir. To list their values:

Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
cd iosched
grep . ./*

You may change their values using

Code:

echo #VALUE > @file

replace #VALUE with a number and @file with the tunable filename.

Oh, you need to be root to change anything. And remember, the changes will stick until reboot.

traysh,

You must not only delete all accounts but from terminal delete:

/home/user/.accounts
/home/user/.aegis
/home/user/.activesync

reboot and enter the passwords once and you will not be asked again...

Oh, thank you a lot. I'll use that if I need to recover again

Also traysh, Now that your phone is normal, as root in terminal:

Code:

disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode

This ensures that the next time your device MALF's and you fix malf state the ugly warranty void message doesn't come at every boot-up...

If it still comes up you can just flash the openmode kernel after fixing MALF state:

Code:

flasher -a rootfs.bin -k kernel_2.6.32-20121301+0m8.dsc --flash-only=kernel --suppress-warranty-warning -f -R

The kernel can be gotten from: http://depot.javispedro.com/nit/harm...121301+0m8.dsc

I can confirm.
GPS works flawlessly with FasterN9. Never had problems.

Locks satellites in mere seconds.

performance gain is a big issue, right? So we won't go back to the deadline I/O scheduler?

I wouldn't mind an unstable version with that problem fixed.

testing new version.. Seems to work well so far.. Keep up the awesome work!

I think what traysh is that he found out how to use the deadline I/O scheduler without causing problems, but he will release it after 1.0(stable). His release with deadline I/O scheduler will be classed as unstable.

Hope I got this right traysh
