[KERNEL][7/22/10]Darchstar's Overclocked Undervolted kernel for senseUI roms vUV 2

***Explaination***:
I, as many of us have, been using Toasts #89 Overclocked kernel since it's inception. I have been thrilled with it's performance, and that our community has produced kernel source code before one was avaliable to us from HTC. Thats quite impressive
The only cons with this kernel that I have found are:
1: Would occasionally (20% of the time?) get a Force Close when a phone call is coming in, resulting in the phone being borked, and me having to reboot the phone.
As many of you have noticed, toast incorporated a script into the kernel that makes it more likely to do this on reception of a call from your lover. Yes, this is a proven fact and can easily cause problems![/sarcasm]
2: The Application "WiFi Tether for Root Users" would start properly, and would share the internet connection over wifi as intended, but would hardlock the phone when you tried to stop the tether, requiring a battery pull to get the phone going again.
So in comes DarchDroid. I tried out darchdroid 2.6.4, and even tough it was an overclocked rom, I experienced NO force closes on phone calls, and a flawlessly working WiFi Tether.
I felt that both the problems above must be caused by the kernels, because I had never experienced them when using stock HTC kernel. So I thought it might be possible to use Darch's Kernel from 2.6.4(2.6.5 broke WiFi Tether), in a Sense rom. At the time I was using IceHoneyBun(from androincentral), after trying to make a update.zip myself using parts from darchs rom and getting nothing but boot loops, PMs back and forth with Darchstar, and Beezy(cooker of HoneyBun roms), Beezy posted a flashable zip to successfully use Darch's Kernel on HoneyBun. It worked! No phone FC, and working Wifi tether. Many people who use Toasts #89 experience the FC on incoming call, and everyone using it experiences hardlock on wifi tether end. So we thought we should share the fix, and make zips for Fresh and Damage based roms as well.
Enough jibber jabber, on the the good stuff!!!!
IMPORTANT READ THIS
Due to the folder structure for the .ko modules being different between the stock, the v4, vUV, and vUV2, you MUST run this remover to erase /system/lib/modules/* . Some of the zips below create a folder inside /modules to put the ramzswap.ko. If you flash the newest vUV 2 it puts it directly in /modules, and will not override the /modules/*/ramzswaps.ko, leaving you with 2 ramzswaps.ko. To avoid any conflicts or bugs, I am going to suggest running the remover zip before flashing ANY of the zips below. Simply put the zip on your SDcard, flash it, then flash the kernel of your choice.

*Audio pop can be head through headphones when music/sound first starts
*Freememkiller versions may be buggy due to a typo that was copy/pasted into all v4 kernels,need to redo when I get an hour or so. I should note that I haven't actually seen this problem manifest in the real world, though I think it could.

[b]vUV 2[/b]
*Build from newer kernel source.
*Added HTC synaptics driver (Thank you Darchstar)
*Consolidated Nfinitefx45's 2.27.651.6 stock, ZenheroFX, and Fresh into one category. Not 100% sure if it will work on fresh, if not I'll add in the fresh rom category again.
[b]vUV[/b]
*Undervolted CPU
*Fixed my incorrect settings in ramdisks that sometimes caused CPU to drop to 19mhz.
Bug is present in all V4 kernels.(use SETCPU/Oc widget and
manually set the frequency in the V4 kernels to avoid this!!)
*Fixed a mistake I made when performing freemem tweak on the V4 kernels,
those who used the V4 kernels with freemem killer tweak that experienced
lag/slowness/stuff closing when it shouldn't/, should have no problems with
the vUV kernels with freemem killer tweak.
[b]v4[/b]
*Added 710mhz default, and 768 mhz default versions(both clockable to 768 using an OC app)
*Added separate update.zips for Fresh, Damage, Honeybun, and Infinitefx
in an attempt to solve problems with failed boots on infinitefx rom, and to
allow for lowmem tweaks in fresh roms without effecting damage roms!
*Tweaked lowmemkiller settings for Fresh and Infinitefx roms
(Honeybun is already using a tweak; gumbo.sh. and
Damage control has lowmemkiller settings accessible in Dconfig)
*A Fresh 2.0b version, just for fun!(I was testing with Fresh 2.0d and had
problems trying to use the ramdisk from fresh 2.1.2
[b]v3[/b]
*Fixed Wifi, was broken in v2!
[b]v2[/b]
*Fixed for touchscreen lag
*Fixed improper auto detect maximum frequency
(reporting as 787 while actually only being 768)
[b]v1[/b]
*Initial release

So it's just Darch's kernel for Darchdroid coupled with the ramdisk for Fresh/Dama(which are the same)?
At least that's what I interpreted from the thread at Android Central
.....
Zen also moved away from #89 and BFS because of the onslaught of problems that hampered his ROM with it. He's back at #65 too.
I think we're better off either waiting for Toast to fix up the kernel source (and using #65 in the mean time) or fixing it ourselves. But if this is Darch's kernel that you're coupling the Ramdisks with, you might end up with more problems than what you're trying to fix(but who knows, good luck).

So far so good. Its only untested on DamageControl.
**UPDATED FIRST POST WITH LINKS TO DOWNLOAD AND INFORMATION**

Can I flash this over the DC2.09 with #89 already on it? or will I have to wipe? I want to test it
Also is there a way to remove the original OC flash or someway to leave me back to stock speeds?

Simply Nandroid first (incase the **** hits the fan), and flash the zip posted above for damage roms =D. No need to wipe.
Someone could build you an Update.zip using damages rom zip to restore the original kernel, if you wanted to go back to that.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes =D.

I'm using the rom posted by nfinitefx45 with DB-F-OC-Boot(fresh), testing with good results

does this also fix the GPS not locking on?
or is that just me?
i've tried 4 different OC roms and each of them i can't lock onto my position on GPS *closest is within 1000m*
on non OC roms it locks on to even what room i'm in in my house.

I know this was common on early DarchDroid Builds, but has since been resolved, I never knew of the issue on sense based roms. But on a side note, I can say the GPS works great for me on honeybun+this kernel as well as fresh 2.1.2+this kernel.
what OC roms have you tried gonzoangel?

Its my kernel, but not the same found in darchdroid. I compiled specifically for this purpose as the OP requested it. It'll only work with sensui roms as it uses the htc touch synaptics source.

Ah nvm then. I posted just based on the thread at Android Central(before the explanation). Was wondering about the synaptic drivers but wasn't sure who did the edits. Good stuff!

Just flashed and tested on DamageControl 2.09 - works great! TetherWiFi stops without causing my phone to hang - not sure about the phone call problem, as it only happened twice to me. Other than that, great job!

Ha yeah. I tried my best to interpret it but was completely lost when I tried to piece everything together with my past knowledge about the differences between your kernel and toasts(notice the 15 edits on my first post LOL). So can we safely blame BFS(or at least its implementation)?

Called my phone more than 20 times in various states with no issues. Sick work!

Does this do anything for the occasional loss of a data connection issue?

I can't comment on this issue, because I have not experienced data connection drops with the sprint kernel, toasts kernel #89, or this kernel.
Be sure your on the newest PRL, and have updated your profile. Do you have mobile data always on enabled or disabled?

Kernels for CM7 03012011 Nightly

Hi,
I am a new rooted user and have been following all MT4G threads here at XDA pretty closely. Can anyone help me know which kernels I can flash on the 03012011 Nightly(cm_glacier_full-11.zip ). I haven't ever flashed a kernel and I don't know what it does and how it helps.
I'll appreciate any info that you can give me.

Well you can use dumfuq's SmartCMKernel or Faux's CM7RC v1.3 kernels. ATM you might want to go with dumfuq's as its the most stable CM7 kernel other than default. You can find it in development section, once downloaded to SDCard just go in to Recovery and wipe cache, davlik and then Install zip from SDCard> Choose from SDCard> Select it wherever you put it and then flash it as you normally flash rom's. Then reboot and let it run for few min and let it do its thing.

Thanks for your help. Getting this kernel now. I heard about setcpu and Quadrant. Do I need those and how/what are they used for? what kind of difference would this kernel give me?

SetCPU - name explains it but if you don't know its controls clock frequency, so you can over/under clock and even set profiles.
Quadrant - benchmark app its just to brag how high score you got nothing special, don't let it get to your head it means nothing as the synthetic benchmark no way translate in to real world performance its just pissing contest lol
Keep in mind in CM7 you have built in mCPU performance controller to to handle clock frequency which you can access via Setting> CM Setting> Performance> CPU Setting.

Thats up to you as only you know what you use so you can better utilize the resource. I mean if you don't use anything no reason to OC it to 1.8ghz lol that way you will kill battery.

What are the differences between dumfuq's and faux's? Is there an advantage to one over the other? I've always been using faux's the whole time.

I keep going back to just using the stock CM 7 kernel clocked at 1.5 honestly I think it gives the best overall performance (on my phone at least) and honestly I had issues running over anything past 1.7 with any kernel but again that could just be my phone. I had it oc'ed at 1.7 for a while and now I have it clocked at 1.5 and notice I have less FC (not that I had many at 1.7 but def more apps would choke from time to time) This phone is pretty fast bone dry stock with no oc'ing but it runs beautiful at 1.5. I dont really notice much performance difference from 1.5 to 1.7 but I do notice a battery difference

i9020a overclocking

Has anyone been successfull? i have tried every OC kernel and as soon as i overclock it just reboots my phone to a freeze (only way out is to either pull the battery or adb reboot). That being said the UV kernel runs fine.

Not sure if it has to do with the I9020A series.
But overall, each NS phone can tolerate its own OC levels. Some phones can tolerate only up to 1.2 GHz, some may be able to achieve 1.4GHz (or beyond). And for some of the unfortunate, some aren't able to OC at all.

Thus this post. I hope my phone is'nt the issue. it would be nice to push a little bit more out of it if i needed it down the line.

I over clocked mine to 1.4 and it was fine, I leave it at 1.0 tho, this friggin thing is quick enough for now.

hmm how do you check your radio. I'm gonna try that as a last resort. And i can set mine as 1.4 but as soon as i run a resource heavy task (n64) my phone locks up and reboot freezes.

Not sure why a radio would affect your ability to OC but...
Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version
the last 3 are what you want to look at "JK8/KB1/KB3"
List all the kernels you've tried. The best in my opinion is Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel using SetCPU
Try intervals of 1.2 GHz too. My phone can only go up to 1.2 GHz

Yeah actually i had tried all of the bfs kernels. I just succeeded in getting Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel. And i can run up to 1.4 . Maybe the brain fk scheduler does not play nice with 9020a's

awesome. I just prefer CFS because with BFS the boot animation doesn't show, and it bothers me.

i flashed the BFS first, and lost my boot animation. Then i switched to the CFS, and the boot animation still didnt appear.
Any ideas as to how i can get it back?
Also, is there anyway to recover the stock kernel? I'd like to have it handy to be able to go back to it.
thnks

Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash a rom that flashes stock. Like cm7 but netarchys is so much better than stock
You can also get ogdobbers which is stock + ext4 + voodoo.

Hey everyone,
This is an off topic question but does anyone know what happened to the 1.6 OC support for Netarchy? I loved to see the absurdly high quadrant scores and instantaneous screen transitions.
Thanks,
Justin

you're better off asking that in the netarchy kernel thread in dev forums.
netarchy could answer that... not a lot of phones can tolerate 1.6 GHz Oc

Thanks, yeah i felt a little bad posting the question here. Though ive been an avid user for a long time i have never posted so i didnt have sufficient rites to post in the decelopment section yet : (

[Q] Help with infusion kernel v1.1

Hey, i am running on infused v2.1.0 and i have transfuzion theme.

I'm pretty sure that is the Infusion kernel. If you read the rest it should say [email protected] # infusion gb

I'd suggest downloading Voltage Control and seeing what options you have in there. You'll know you installed it correctly if you see speeds up to 1600 in there. Plus it's a good tool if you want to Under Voltage a little bit to help on battery life.

Kernel Version number is 2.6.35.7-1997RUXKG3-CL366622 for infusion 1.1. Your good.

Actually that version string is useless for determining which kernel you're running other than "based on Rogers Gingerbread" - since the proprietary Samsung modules force kernel devs to avoid doing anything that modifies that string. (Modify that string = device will not boot.)
The best way to figure out which kernel you're running are:
1) Featureset. If you have frequencies higher than 1200 MHz you're running Infusion as it's the only overclock kernel there is. If you have netarchy-style voltage control but no overclock, you're likely on my Daily Driver. If you have neither, you're probably on Hellraiser or the stock Infused ROM kernel.
2) Build username/host of the kernel to determine who built it. If you look back through my posts you should find one with a list of a few known user/host combos for various kernel devs.

Thanks for the replies guys! I checked in my voltage control i have the 1600mhz in there but i dont really know how to set them... ive looked around i did something but im not sure if thats the best set up. I sitll do not know if i am running on infusion 1.1 i have infused 2.1 for sure but not sure about the kernel. Anyway thanks for the reply guys the help is much appreciated but IF you can help me figure out this voltage thing it'll be great! Also i have downloaded the tranzfusion theme and i dont really like it is there anyway i can delete it?

If you installed 1.1 and voltage control tells you can OC to 1600 then you have 1.1 installed. People use different setups for the Overclocking. use Cfq as scheduler and Ondemand as governor. make sure you turn on 1600 by hitting the red button next to it if you already havent. dont use more than 5-6 mhz speeds at one time. I use 200 400 800 1200 1600.

Just to the OP...the easiest way to me to flash a kernel is simply by downloading SGS Kernel Flasher, selecting the kernel, and flashing it. It's about as painless as you can get.

Thanks for the replies guys much appreciated !

Your OC Settings?

Using QuikWiz with whatever kernel is included with that ROM (Da_G's, IIRC), I pretty much can't OC at all. I'm stuck at the default 1566MHz, the closest bump up at 1728 is too high and my phone crashes. I just flashed TPCv3 which also uses Da_G's kernel and came to the same result - can't OC past 1566MHz.
Firstly, is there anything I can do to make my phone stable at 1728MHz? What do you guys have your phones set to?
Quadrant/AnTuTu screenshots welcome.
