What’s new?
20120317 [v2.2]
Updated CyanogenMod source – version 7.2.0 RC1.
Cherry-picked various patches from gerrit to fix issues with core binaries/libraries (dalvik, bionic, zlib, etc.).
Kernel: updated europa-battery, pmem, fsa9280, android staging drivers.
Kernel: reduce minimum CPU scaling frequency to 122Mhz (to see if sleep of death occurs with the new wireless driver).
Wifi: using AR6kSDK.3.0_RC.298 source with patches to allow usage of Samsung’s firmware blobs, disable WoW (Wake on Wlan), and fix a certain case in which the driver blocks suspend. Note: the newest driver from freescale (AR6kSDK.3.1_RC.563) is not stable with our phone. This can’t be fixed easily, as the problem appears to be within the new proprietary firmware blobs, which is something I can’t fix. In the meantime, this driver should work well (and hopefully without any sleep of death issue).
dhcpcd: patches to optimize dhcp requests for Atheros AR6003. This improves connection/reconnection speed and reliability.
libhardware_legacy: increase wifi loader timeout from 1 second to 5 seconds. This ensures that the wireless driver is given time to settle before the first scan occurs.
wpa_supplicant_6: wait for control interface monitor to be brought up before starting. Improves reliability of wireless when reconnecting from idle.
libaudio: fix for minimum in-call volume being incorrectly muted in certain cases (including on speakerphone); fix FM audio when using no-microphone headphones.
Switched to OuNao’s open libsensors – completely fixes accelerometer lag.
Switched to “g5sensord”, Ounao’s open memsicd replacement based on freescale’s eCompass code – more battery efficient than proprietary memsicd daemon.
GPS: use worldwide SUPL server by default. Initial reports indicate that people are having better connectivity with this setup overall.
Compcache: back to 18%.
ADWLauncher: lock action buttons by default (helps avoid cases in which users accidentally detach the icons for these buttons).
Change scrolling cache setting to further improve scrolling speed.
Disable automatic brightness setting by default. Our phone has no light sensor, and I suspect that the software implementation may be causing battery drain.
