Hey with this new kernel that has been really impressive to me
I want to work with any Devs out there to bring this kernel to them for testing
I think a lot of people would really like it since it has choices for CFS/BFS RHack/NoRHack
So, if any devs want to work with me on bringing this any build - email me
[email protected]
Hopefully, I want to create a kernel for everyone to use - I know CM's has been more popular for its features - but this one has the features plus a really good speed
I would really like to work with any Eclair Devs to improve the speed of this before I make my Eclair ROM (sooner or later - may need a break first for life lol)
I was really behind on this working on the kernel way too much - so 2wks behind

are you saying that it has the same features as the CM kernel, but it's faster?

That's what it looks like.
Need this in a Hero ROM
Would love this for SuperD.....
hey i just tried out your kernel on eclair. i used your kernel from 2.6 cfs w/ ram hack on my custom speed demon build of eclair using manups ramdisk and i am unable to pass splash screen. prolly needs more implementation of eclair goodies
What files did you "transplant" to use the kernel on another build?
u must unpack the boot.img's then replace kernel

THanks, Im gonna do some experimenting on a 1.6 build later
Anyone else trying this kernel on Eclair other then Herver?
I'm waiting to switch to Eclair until a fast/responsive kernel is implemented.
Tried BFS/RAMHACK with Manup's Eclair ROM, kernel loaded properly, ran quickly, only issue was that bluetooth didn't work.
My issue with all these different kernels out there, is that I'd like to see source code accessible, or at the very least, maybe attach the .config file, so I know what exactly has been changed.
Ok lol who wants for what ROM?
You have to grab a few things from it - such as the rootdir plus setup xbin if it doesn't use it
hi wes.
i would certainly like to help the cause and assist in improving upon things (where possible and if feasable), but i would really need to see the source and .config to make advancements.
is this available on your github?
you're handing these out pre-built? Do you have somewhere we could download the source?
Figured I'd test it, and figured it wouldn't work...
The kernel (CFS + ram hack) doesn't work as a direct drop-in on dwang.

Hi thanks for another fine release..aft trying out ur jac release and this rom.. i find this not as fast as the jac one..if u could improve on the jac rom it will surely be an incredible rom..really like the speed and lightness on the jac rom..thanks once again..

I think it'll shut this kid up. Unless he has no idea what partitioning an sd card does, in which case this will still be slow. It's based on some newer source and some improved scripts and optimizing. Can't say its faster, but at least itll even out.

Anyway twistedumbrella, are you as what your name describes? Your comments are uncalled for and not needed in this community. Please grow up and get a life. I am new here, so would appreciate if you could give positive feedbacks instead of insults.
@covertless: He is right though... On my magic this ROM is *MUCH* faster than the JACxHEROski one
@Twisted: Ok will throw the kernel and include full instructions based on your post here!
Thank you for your work!
p.s. If I delete /system/bin/magic and /system/bin/sapphire will we still be able to run rwsystem and then magic?
*L10nH34Rt: Great could you release the ported version when its done?
P.S. I am not saying he is wrong, anyway I appreciate that there are people like you and him contributing to this community by working hard on the dev of roms. Not sure as to why he had to assume that non programmers like me are "kids".
Sure I will later today when I get to my linux box

Wait, even he says "jac rom"i think he is talkin about older zero releases which are using jac kernel vs new amonra kernel, or is he not? Because there is no hero port who can outperform xero's speed with proper adjustments atm.

I'm tired of my Hero lagging crazy. Its hard to use my phone and I'm going to switch if its not fixed soon. I'm looking at Fresh Toast v1.1 with Overclocking, Compcache, and Ramzswap all supported by a .27 kernel which won't allow the camera to work on 2.1 roms but will on 1.5 roms correct? If the camera will work if this kernel is pushed to a 1.5 rom how exactly do I get the kernal on my phone.
Even if this isn't possible try and list the fastest kernel so far with camera features working. Looking at the Kernel list in the wiki doesn't really help...
Please XDA, I once loved this phone.

1. You need a 1.5 Rom. Those Roms come with the 2.6.27 kernel (which the source was released). Toast fixed the EXT4 and did the overclock. If you wish, I can build you a kernel with the Rom that you choose for these functions.
2. The HTC keyboard does suck in its lag. I personally like the stock Android keyboard. There's a few developers that incorporate those into their Roms and I know some have them as themes. I'll look for you.

Wow, are you guys serious? I started a new thread because the last thread consisted of only 1 person recommending some gumbo kernel, I looked at the kernel it has overclocking but no ext4(or EXT3 I think). If your not going to be helpful and your just going to act like idiots don't reply at all. Stop roid raging when I tell you my Hero is too slow and I'm pissed off about it.

it seems like tkirton is willing to compile a kernel with these features you want, but just tell him if you want to run a 1.5 rom (camera) or a 2.1 rom (no camera)
This is my source guy and gals!!!
please read this entire post. thank you
basically i built this from the Eris source, i only made *-board and gevice specific files that would enable it to compile and boot on the HTC Heroc. my goal from day one was to do this and now ive managed to pull it off. anyhow what i do is for everyone and i always show my work. on this OP i will up date as i make changes, to inform the community of the kernel source status. as of first commit all hardware works and the kernel functions just like the one HTC compiled for our 2.1 release. although i have made a few cleaning up changes and managed to fix our audio issue as far as i know. so in a since this source is better then HTC/Sprints kernel. link below:
GoDmOdE
Commit Log
Wed May 19, 2010 -First commit = Fully functional 2.6.29 source for the HTC Heroc + minor clean ups and audio issue resolved.
Wed May 19, 2010 -AOSP -synaptics-fix = synaptic touch drivers were modified by HTC to help with input to ime app and sense. i reversed those changes to allow for devs to use the kernel in AOSP builds
Wed May 19, 2010 -Overclocking-added-for-good-measure- = Overclocking to freqs above 528mhz
Wed May 19, 2010 -added-auto-detect-for-setcpu = Setcpu will now detect all availible freqs automagic
Thu May 20, 2010 -GSM-HeRo-Support = support for the GSM HERO (thanx goes out to Behnaam for all his testing and workig with me on it)
ALL CHANGES, IDEAS AND THOUGHTS ARE WELCOMED. IF U DECIDE TO NAB THE SOURCE AND MAKE UR OWN TREE, PLEASE DO AS GITHUB SUGGESTS AND FORK MY TREE. THIS MAKES THINGS EASIER FOR ALL OF US AND ENABLES U TO EASILY PULL CHANGES FROM MY TREE, AND VICE VERSA. THIS IS A COMMUNITY KERNEL. AS A COMMUNITY WE CAN BUILD A BAD ASS KERNEL. SO LETS ALL NOT BE GREEDY AND FOLLOW MY LEAD. SHOW AND SHARE UR WORK.
Thank you guys for the support

Sources are up at HTC

does this mean an overclock kernel is possible?
i will make one tomorrow
Sweet! I hope 710Mhz will work as good as it did in CursorSense running Android 1.5
gonna try and lets see gonna need it tested for sure
Can this kernel be used with a 2.2 ROM? It sure would be nice to have 2.2, the new radio and a fully working camera all at once
no forget it on 2.2 to fix cam, wont happen, android 2.2 needs atleast .32

If it's not too much to ask, could you make one that works with the stock ROM? I never got around to switching to RCMagic and the rooted stock one is stable enough for me to postpone the switch.

HTC has nothing to do with the ti lan driver, the source is available always has been, compile with the kernel or compile pointing to your fresh compiled kernel and it just works (unless the board file is messed up(fu htc) ).
I just got it compiled and everything works first try on your rom, i'll send you the files.
thx man appriciate it
nice rom btw, even though i hate sense lol
this is just a demo of a kernel based on quarx 3.0.8 kernel sources,maybe later i'll try to merge several fixes or something but till then lets say i've reached a small milestone like finishing to compile this kernel,booting it up,take some screenshots from it.
known bugs,just like initial quarxs or blenchose commits.
Warning:flash at your own responsability,works only with cm 10.1 under boot options by ticking 2ndboot and ticking adb disable
link to kernel:http://www.mediafire.com/?vdjoj438tlvz2lw
NOTE:kernel sources are based on quarx repo on github:https://github.com/Quarx2k/jordan-kernel
What's this? A fix for CM10.1 23/01?
I think it's a 3.0 kernel... so not a fix.
i think , quarx2k also made many changes with his CM 10.1-3.0 branch which corresponds to the 3.0 kernel ..( eg - hwcomposer sources)
so it will be better if u can compile and upload both ROM + KERNEL package in order to have maximum working efficiency

you're right,because i could not boot this kernel on 4.1.2 so tried with 4.2.1 without adb manual boot,the difference is that i added forced module unloading and allow old eabi binaries to run with this kernel trying to get some backwards compatibility thus my conclusion is that either this kernel needs scratch bins in the os for propper functioning

You know opening a new thread was unnecessary as we already have a 3.0 kernel thread and CM10.1 also.... BTW the kernel and CM10.1 are both easily compiled if you know what you're doing

Thanks for your efforts I think I was the one that reported it can't remember now ..... The reason I did it was because like you said you're trying to port 3.7.5 which we already have thread for where you cab discuss about porting 3.0.0 kernels
Some advice and questions......
I was wondering why are you trying to port 3.7.5 which is not even on any other android device yet??
IMO I think a higher version of the 3.0 base kernel is not needed as am sure most of the new things in it would not benefit us as we probably couldn't use it anyway since we have old drivers, old cpu/gpu etc.....
Getting it to show up in defconfig is not the hard part you can activate anything you want from there they are just the configuring files the hard part is configuring the activated drivers for the defy which requires dev work and debugging just look Quark's commits
I think what we have is fine and I don't think anything much higher would be any benefit for us also we have older drivers and the things we need for 4.2 to work properly are in 3.0.8 like the new wifi drivers maybe Quarx will update it to a higher minor version later like he did with 2.6.32.9 to 2.6.32.60......
Don't worry yourself to much there are many other things you can do to help us in the defy community. This is not worth your time trust me from experience :cyclops:
Btw the menuconfig iust activates the stuff you want for your device and mapphone_defconfig is where all the options you picked from menuconfig is stored. Each defconfig is different as they are specify to one device.

thats the whole point,everithing gets trouc the cross compiler even battery and every hw aspect for defy,but cant seem to get sgx drivers on it it boots but only backlight flickers,also the importance of this is that one day we might bump in a problem like this(maybe future android versions will use kernel 3.7.5 as default)and my opinion is that we should have some widen experience about it in any way possible

and how is that a problem if someone wants to attempt a higher version kernel?
if there is no benefit then there is no loss either
I understand your point and even I know nothing is impossible.
BUT, there has to be a logic in things that you are doing, isn't it? Believe me, Nobody is discouraging him. Anyways, its a matter of understanding and not a debate.
FYI and to my knowledge, very few devices like xperia T/V has kernel 3.4

Like brajesh.sharma87 said am not trying to discourage him anything am just giving him some advice. This is mainly just my opinion based on experiences I had trying to port the newer wifi drivers from 3.0 base to our 2.6 kernel..... he doesn't have to listen to what am saying.
Like brajesh.sharma87 said it's matter of knowledge because the Linux kernel changes so much between versions and the work Quarx has done on the 3.0.8 base may become outdated and needs to be changed to get it to work for the new base.
Am just trying to put things into prospective as I think it's not worth his time and effort trying to port a higher version kernel without good knowledge and experience on kernel porting. Again that's for him to decide.
Drunk_ryder24 if you still want to try here are is something you can do that may help -
If you haven't already tried this but try cherry-picking Quarx's commits from the p-android-omap3-3.0 branch since the code is related to the defy but keep in mind not all of Quarx's work may work on the new base.

well ive done cherry picking from quarx repo and i must say that quarx done an excelent job compiling the modules since they are recognized and compiled by the toolchain with no major errors,just a few ignorable errors,boy quarx must have nerves of steel to bare so much time in developing from scratch,oh btw i will post this as a reply in 4.1.2 tread,ive mixed kernel zimage and ramdisk of quarx 2.6.32.60 after applying sevenrock's kernel 2.6.32.9-the whole point is that it might have been something changed in either ril or wifi module cause 2.6.32.60 seems just a little laggy but no ringtone bug or reboots by this method
