hey dumfuq, can you create a blog, I like following your work, would be nice to see it all elsewhere. Are you on github?
thanks, your work is appreciated
thx for posting this
Nice to see this here.. It would be nice to further explain, I searched else where but could not find....
I know
OC---IS OVER CLOCKED
UV---IS UNDER VOLTED
FP---????
Not to be rude but this is the third kernel thread on Page 1 of G1 Android Development. Hope a mod consolidates the three into one.
On another note, thanks for your kernels.

I think it's rather nice to have an OC kernel that doesn't require swap though.
just updated with changes from cm-5.0.8-t4

They make it use all the swap, and people complain, they tone it down, and people complain.
Seriously though, adjust swappiness and perhaps use AutoKiller to set the settings LOWER than default. That should keep more apps around. Note that doing that may cause extreme slowness, so if it breaks, you get to keep both parts.
When I fool with those types of settings, I like to disable "set on boot" type options so that a reboot clears them if I screw something up. Then I can tune away till I get what I want, then set them on boot. Of course, just as I figure out how I like it, a new release comes out. owell, I do so love flashing my phone. I feel like I need a .sh file with "adb shell "reboot recovery"" in there on my computer's dock.

Any chance on someone uploading the oc xtra v4 with lower frequencies please.. I don't know how to change the userinit or resign =P thank you. Last time with test2 cyanogen, it booted up fine leaving the frequencies on my old settings but now test4 it just won't boot because frequencies got over written this time and set825 which I know why but I don't know how to resign and stuff..

32a test
I have no way to test this myself but...
It looks like it is fairly trivial to make a 32A port (since cyanogen has already patched the source). So here is a version of my latest that might work on 32A. If you try this, please let me know if it works or not.
Same as my others in that it requires you to set the scaling_max_freq in order to boot.

2.6.34 BFS kernel. I found it in the cyanogen forums.
http://www.4shared.com/file/BmZU6db6/BFS508t4.html
I went from 23 to 24 fps on neocore benchmark. Not really that much of an increase but 5% is 5%. I know some people hate BFS with a passion but I like the extra frame=p.
Link to OP
So I tried you kernel (was too lazy to make my own) and everything works (it boots) except the wifi, either due to the fact that I'm running 5.0.7 or the slight possibility that you put the wrong kernel module for wifi because 32A and 32B don't use the same one, will compile my own to see if it's just the kernel module...

Why do people dislike BFS? I don't really see much of a reason for the hate (but I also don't really know the difference)
This topic is intended for those few Motorola XT720 users.
As you well know, Motorola, in their infinite wisdom, have created a gimped phone that seems to have mostly problems about it rather than advantages.
For a start, they have underclocked the CPU from its possible theoretical maximum of 1GHz to a paltry 550 MHz (and the update only unlocked an on-demand setting of up to 720 MHz). Secondly, the included launcher is actually inferior to both stock Vanilla Eclair and most other 3rd party launchers. It is sluggish and never quite feels smooth (especially so when browsing your apps or switching panels).
So what is the solution to the above problems and how to make your XT720 truly fly and feel comparable to most any other high-end smartphone? Simple, I say!
I won't tell you how to do these steps, but I can provide info and know-how-to if people ask me to:
0) Install Astro File Manager from the Market.
1) Root your device. Use Universal Androoter to do this. Try to go for latest possible version you can find. Your phone will not be able to find it on the Market so try Google.
2) Go to http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/ and download the basic program to overclock your XT720. The program allows you to do 'real' (actual) overclock of up to 1.2 GHz, but your CPU will be unstable in this speed. Instead, opt for 1GHz, which is not a 'real' overclock, since the Texas Instr. CPU inside your phone is actually able to run at this speed natively.
3) Download SetCPU or get it from XDA.
Have it 'automatically' configure / find your CPU speed and then set it up as such:
Make sure the upscale governor is set to at least 85. Mine is at 86.
a) Fully Charged / Plugged In: Min/Max at 1000MHz (Performance) [55]
b) Below 40% Min 550 / Max 1000 (On Demand) [60]
c) Below 20% Min 500 / Max 550 (On Demand) [65]
d) While Screen Turned Off Min 150 / Max 500 (On Demand) [70]
Make sure all settings are set to 'Enable' and 'auto-run' is checked.
4) Download Zeam Today Launcher from the Market. It is free. Install it and press Home. Try it once to be sure and safe, but afterwards make sure you set it to 'default' (so that it launches as the default launcher).
Restart your phone and voila. Enjoy XT720 as you never have before.....
I have an HTC Desire and a Samsung Galaxy S and I promise you that my XT720 feels (almost) as snappy as they, and that's a huge difference in improvement, given that I felt that the XT720 was one of the sluggiest phones I had ever have to experience! Now it can finally unlock its full potential.
EDIT: Realised I accidentally posted this in the wrong subsections. This was done unintentionally. Please can some mod move it to the 'General' section?
Thanks for your post, grcd! Just some questions...
Do all 0 to 4 have to be done, & in that order? Or can I choose any?
What is Astro File Manager for? Is it needed to do 1 to 4?
Edit: ok, so 2 & 3 need root. But are 0 & 4 necessary or only recommended?
Edit: ok, I can choose among different file managers for 0, & among different launchers for 4.
& I can't find a single appropriate page on universal androoter on google? Except your post.
Edit: oops, found universal androot! Sorry, noob
very usefull
thanx
My friend just got one of these and I've been trying to find some good resources but can't seem to turn anything up.
Are them any development forums for this model out there? And are there any custom roms out or is the stock rom, rooted, overclocked with cleaned up the bloatware the best you can get?

XT720 bootloader is locked and currently there's no known method to attack it. So, no custom ROMs. For Optimization, check the below link. You'll need to root your phone first (either One Click Root via PC or using Universal Androot apk).
this optimizer script got Busybox, Apps2SD, JIT from Froyo, custom build.prop, removing unnecessary apps and custom themes.
Code:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-milestone-xt720/74284-guide-milestone-xt720-apps2sd-froyo-jit.html
App2sd is a must, the internal memory for this phone is too small. I even put a class 10 micro sd in it.
Thanks for the optimization link, spiderx_mm! I'll do that too but it will take me a bit longer to be confident in doing that.
Meanwhile, the overclocking++ advice above seemed to help at the start, but little by little, my XT720 was lagging again, & lagging longer & longer. Does this happen to others?
I'm also encountering weird problems, like Dolphin Browser HD 4.2 tabs reloading from the web even for conditions when it's supposed to reload from the cache. So I'm also trying to reverse the process tio isolate the problem, but I have a few questions.
Once the setcpu modifications are done, can I unroot? It seems to me no, because I would think root is needed to change the clock on the fly? But if I simply overclock without using setcpu, then it seems to me that I can unroot without undoing the overclock changes?
While at this, is there an important sequence to follow to reverse the whole process? Do I have to set setcpu to the clock that I want to revert to before reverting the clock? I would experiment on my own except for the risk of bricking
Tia!
@grcd Will this improve camera response and hd video recording quality?
@spider thanks for the link. I'll give that a shot. I'm assuming since it hasn't been done yet, that no one is working to unlock the bootloader?
@reggie you will most definitely need to retain root to use setcpu. The app setcpu is what's actually changing the scaling itself, that's why there's the 'set at boot' option, bc the app has to set it everytime. Because the kernel just has overclock capabilities, but not overclocked by default, you will always need setcpu or a similar app to do the actual overclock. Why would you want to unroot anyways? If your having issues, I would recommend using system panel for a few days and see if somethings bogging your system down, it has great monitoring functions. I've yet to do the optimization, but I can't imagine anything there is what's causing you to have lag issues..

You can replace it with any other file explorer of your like and choice. The basic idea is to get root, and using Universal Androoter is the only way I know of for the XT7220 that is user friendly. Afterwards the rest is simple, using the overclocking app and SetCPU.

I noticed that too, so my initial excitement wore off. It seems that I was a bit wrong and some XT7220 devices will not happily run at 1GHz without some lag issues. Try lowering your speed to the next step down and see if that helps -- this might mean running at 800MHz, which is a mere 80MHz overclock, but whatever).
The optimizer script might help speed some things further up. But I haven't tried it yet. Also, Apps2SD will definately help as the phone has little internal memory, so the more apps that are there then the slowest things will get over time.
I am not sure of the ways to unroot to be entirely honest, but I guess you have to check FAQs for Universal Androoter to see if the process is reversable. As about the rest, it is quite simple: Just uninstall SetCPU (it might help to return the clock to its normal speed, but uninstalling it will do it anyway I suppose), and then use the Milestone Overclock to return the speeds to the stock speeds. Then uninstall that too.

AFAIK it will not. Or it might, but the differences are negligible. I am afraid that unless there is a custom ROM or a complete kernel hack, significant improvements in the camera department might be hard to come by.
It's very sad how badly Motorola dropped the ball with this phone. I admit I gave up on it and sold it to a friend for cheap.

/!\ disclaimer: this thread is not about a war between android versions, nor a competition of "who has the biggest one". thank you /!\
I just installed an application named Quadrant Standard, it gives good idea of performance of our phone versus different android versions.
Running Froyo 2.2, release 134++, i have a score of 902
(screen capture enclosed, webcam = bad quality sorry)
derefas, running CM6, has a score of 1000
(screen capture enclosed)
CM6 have higher performance because it does not uses HTCSense.
it's interesting, in the version of derefas, to note that we are weak in memory and i/o access versus the other phones.
might be the sdcard latency.
looking at those results, it seems devs have introduced some "lagfix" that boost reactivity of their phones. another thing to investigate.
also, there are some apps to overclock, we could try to overclock to 700 or 800Mhz to see the improvements.
some other benchmark applications here:
http://www.everythingabouttablets.net/2011/05/05/top-6-android-benchmarks/
regarding lagfix, a post in french:
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/22162-refmaj-22102010-le-point-sur-les-lagfix/
basically it replaces the old filesystem of samsung (RFS) by the well known ext2.
but since we are already using this filesystem, it is not gonna help us here :-D

I've tried set-cpu 2.2.4 from here, but it doesn't seem to work. On startup, i press 'msm7x27'. It then asks for root permissions, before force closing.
I've also tried overclocking widget, but it says it needs root access, but I'm pretty sure we already do.
Correct me if I'm wrong or some other overclocking app works for you
Thanks devs!

I guess we don't have the privilege to scale cpu...to make it higher than 600 Mhz or smaller than 600 MHz
you need the "super user" application
it is in froyo release
when you install setcpu, it asks you to grant root access.
it worked for me, i selected "MSM7x27
but it seems the app cannot read the CPU frequency :-/
it shows "0 Mhz"
ok i know why:
our /dev/cpuinfo lacks details.

Hi, i know this feature is disabled in our phone becouse Cotulla tried to add cpu scaling but not finished (he disabled frequency init)... we need to finish his job and enable it!
EDIT:
I compiled kernel with all known fixes, enabled frequency init, so I can confirm about time: FULL working without time forwarding!!! But not know if time fix come from owerclock or by kernel itself, or maybe by gps.conf ?!!
Here is dmesg with owerclocking
that's interesting!
and guess what, stepping for MSM7227 is available
see here:

hurray guys, i managed to overclock our photon!
credits to ladios, the guy who work on htc aria, from which i stole a bit of code
Using Froyo2.2 with HTCSense standard:
Photon original speed: 600Mhz => quadrant standard score = 860/900
Photon [email protected] 768Mhz => quadrant standard score = 1090/1093
it works great!
in addition to that, the power of enabling overclocking is, you can also underclock the CPU to 250Mhz when idle/charging/doing nothing, which dramatically saves your battery life!!
will play with it and commit changes when validated

Hi,
Good job, just one thing, i use Eviollet kernel (svs) and there's a step at 128 mhz.
The apps doesn't show these step.
It Would be great if you can implement it.
Otherwise i found no bug.
Thx in advance.

The app skips the first frequency because on a lot of phones its a.useless frequency like 19mhz. Thanks for letting me know though. I will add an exception and upload a new version later.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Minor change to no longer skip the first frequency. On many phones the first frequency is a useless frequency like 19mhz so the app was set up to skip that frequency. This is only a temporary fix until I change it to display only the available frequencies instead of all of them.
Sounds interesting, will have a go

The eviollet Kernel implements AXI @ 128Mhz, which drops the bus down to 19Mhz which potentially could save more battery

But the actual cpu speed still never drops below 128mhz if I'm not mistaken (at least thats how it is on the inc, its possible to enable the use 19mhz cpu speed, but the phone is unusable). So the cpu voltage for 19mhz would never be used. I have changed the app now though to show all cpu frequencies available for use, so if you did enable the use of 19mhz cpu speed (you have to comment out a line in the acpuclock file), it would show up.
Hopefully that clears up confusion.

Ad Free has now been turned into a key that removes the ads from the free version. This allows donors who have downloaded the ad free version from the site to update through the market.
HAVS voltage checking. Minimum voltages can no longer be set higher than maximum voltages.
Boot voltages are now stored in the application’s data directory. Boot settings will now persist if you update your ROM or restore the application and data from a backup.
IncrediControl v1.4:
This is mostly a bug fix release but I have also added:
Automatic detection of the minimum and maximum voltages supported by your kernel
Unless any more bugs arise, the next release will have some new goodies to play with...

I'm making an enquiry for a friend who uses his HTC desire with RCMix S v2.0 Evolutionary Sense using SNQ v05 kernel. Does this Rom / kernel meet the InvrediControl system requirements?
One other question, in other utils I've used in the past they also supply a "reset" zip which can be used to revert the settings back to default in the event if instability/freeze (requires flash from recovery). Do you see value in creating a similar zip for over agressive UV?
Thanks again for a wonderful utility. Can't wait to try it.

I don't believe that kernel has the sysfs interface for adjusting voltages. You can still give it a shot though. The app will let you know if the kernel doesn't have the correct interface.
I also have a reset zip. It's on the site and there is a link in the OP.
SNQ anyone?
Ahhhw...no love for the wildly popular SNQ Kernal?!

The kernel dev has to implement the interface in order to use the app. Since I don't believe that the source for the GB kernel has been released yet for the desire, the dev won't be able to implement the interface until it is.

Thanks for the heads up. Next time I have access to the phone I will install and see what unfolds. But from what you said I'm not expecting much with SNQ.
Maybe time to suggest to my friend a new Rom
There's a long-standing bug (or omission rather) in (probably all) the kernels used for the HTC Sensation--a feature of some Qualcomm CPUs apparently--which is that you can independently set the max cpu frequency of both processor cores. Because of the way the CM Performance settings is written, it only sets cpu0 and expects cpu1 to automatically follow suite. This causes the second core to always run at the kernel's default max setting when the screen is on.
For some time now I've been twiddling with a patch for the kernel that would set cpu1(...n) to follow the changes of cpu0. I have not succeeded, and am now entirely fed up with the whole business and will dump my current results here if anyone is inclined.
I register a CPUFREQ_POLICY_NOTIFIER in the mach-msm/cpufreq.c driver and reading the values works just fine, but when I try to set them the second core seems to bog down and the phone slowly freezes.
Please note that I am not a kernel hacker, and not much familiar with Linux so there probably are glaring mistakes and stupid things in here.
This patch is against arch/arm/mach-msm/cpufreq.c and I was hacking at sources from @android1234567 's repo at https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan-kernel-bruce-linaro3
Enjoy or something
I wonder if anyone is going to include this patch. In my eyes its really usefull, but in this thread is no acticity, thats kind of awkward

Give it time for a developer to look into it if it's worth it (that depends in the eyes of users / devs) it will eventually be considered.
Far as I understood by default the cpu1 will always max no matter whats defined, is that right?

Yes, if you go by the CM Preferences GUI. It's possible to set the max frequency by doing
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online && echo <value in kHz> > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Or using a init.d script like the one included in some roms, but it's a bit cumbersome
So you need an app like kernel tuner to set each cpu frequency independently is that it?

Pimp My ROM has been doing fine for me, so yeah, kernel tuner and the alike work properly from my observations.
This is the full patch and the merge error fix, it can be easily merged into AOSP roms with the CM performance built into the settings package. Enjoy
(btw this patch will even work on quad core QCOM devices)

This is neat, should've known someone would be there before me
I considered solving it through patching the java code, but you'd have to interface it through the sysfs tree, and that leads to a race condition; the cpufreq files only exist in the tree when the cpu is online, so you'd either have to do some kind of wait loop (could be a long time before the cpu wakes up) or somehow force it to come online--something I don't know how to do.
