Are we going to see the new 3.0 kernel being implemented on our phones any time soon? Any benefits to this?
Thanks!
The 3.0 kernel is just a renumbering scheme. It was going to be 2.6.40 originally. No major changes.

No point, there's not much changed that would affect our devices in any meaningful way. Also this would have been 2.6.40.0 or 2.6.40.1 (not sure). I find Linux kernels are not stable enough until they reach the ~20th release. Each new release usually comes with loads of regression bugs
I understand it was supposed to be a different version but besides that point I wasn't sure if it was any faster for us.

3.0 has absolutely nothing major to add, see Linus' post here:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTUwMg
I may compile a fresh kernel for my Slackware laptop though.......just to see how it runs.
???kernel 3???
I read some where this kernel will start bringing native support for arm, wouldnt that be a huge improve to our phones?

I was wondering what the best kk4 modem is? I am running legend blue 3.4 with all their stuff just wondering if there is a better one

It depends on your location. You need to do some testing to see which one works best for you, or see what other people in your area use http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-location-map.html
Thread closedq
Please refer to the link above. Different modems work better for different areas/ROMs, etc.
Okay, now I built a kernel and shared it, people are asking me to add things.
First up, should I add BLD?
Vote above!
Build it to your standards once done than you can start adding stuff that users may ask and see how it rides out
Agreed. Stability is top priority then start adding little features. I use BLD on Matr1x V22 bfs but I could live without it. I am going to try yours out soon since V1 is out. Congrats.

I do feel a little bit like if hundreds of people are downloading it, then it's become something more than a personal project.... But then, maybe people are intrested by something a little more stripped out?

That's true. It's out there and a lot of people are going to try it. If something is highly requested than you should consider it. This is young still but it is already growing beyond your personal kernel project. Thalamus and others don't always add things just because people like it. Stay true to what you want... Marmite and all

This poll feels like a loaded question...
Actually I find bld one of the more useful features, but I don't know how much extra work it is and how it affects stability. I remember Franco being opposed to it on stability grounds.

Oh yeah, i remember that too. Bld isn't much work to add though. But i want to keep non critical mods to a minimum.
I'd say it'll never end. You'll add BLD, then someone would want this, after some bickering you'll add it and soon as you'll notice, your kernel is going to be bloated same as the others :]
I actually run 0.6, would flash 0.7 or newer if I oc'd or ever used other governors then ondemand , but it's running so perfectly and smooth as CM9 kernel never did + it has MTP, so I don't want to ruin that experience.
Stability comes first & If BLD affects performance por stability-then No..(I dunno about BLD has some side-effects)
You are an expert, Just stick ur principle..

These are my two cents:
Most installed ROMs are either AOKP, CM9, RASCREAM.
AOKP offers softkey navigation bar ala Galaxy nexus. Some peeps may like it and therefore may want BLD to cancel off the default nav buttons on our nexus S.
I use a variation of AOKP and turned to morfic kernel because of bld, I personally don't use the softkey mod on the ROM but I use BLD to reduce to only half a second for my nav buttons lights to stay on and use LMT launcher to access my menus (this app is pretty handy since it overlays on the side of your phones making your thumb more efficient and fast).... If you have not heard of this app it is here on xda.
That's basically my main use for BLD and the fact I'm actually saving a little more battery. Imagine the fact I'm browsing the web, reading articles and whatnot for two hours straight (I have) the fact I can disable the lights with BLD may indeed save some more juice to our batteries.

Stick with stability, like others have said. You could always do what TerryHau did with his kernel. Have one with some features and the other with those features and a few others added on. Either way, it's your work, dude. Do what you wanna do!
Bedalus question for you: is bld something that can make a kernel instable?
Others have it and they work just fine.

Well Franco said it made things unstable, but i don't think it would with my kernel. It might have been incompatible with some of Franco's tweaks.
1 vote for yes lol ^_^ for me i just want bld nothing more ^_^
Can people interested in testing a BLD version please PM me for a download link?

I just sent a PM request for BLD version to you, Bedalus. Maybe some errors occured? I just can't find any clues of my sent messages. If you see that reply, please give me the link:laugh:

Don't worry, by default XDA doesn't keep your sent messages unless you tell it to. If you click on 'Go Advanced' when sending a message, and look through the checkboxes, you can see one for 'Save a copy to my sent items folder'
Anyway, link sent!
So is this new kernal a true JB kernal or is it a modified GB kernal like ICS? Also if is a true JB kernal is this replacing the Aries kernal or is is still in development,thanks and flame away
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure its a modified GB kernel. Aries would still be better, it would offer better battery life and would probably be a more stable kernel. I think all that's left now is the sleep of death issue.
I don't know if the Aries kernel is still in development, team acid said that they will give eriks JB kernel "some love"
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
My reading of the TA attention is that they'll try to get Proton closer to the other Herring kernels' levels... as in, wifi works, 4G doesn't reboot, etc. Not that they're looking at it as the replacement for Aries.
Note that this is my interpretation though, and is not official in any way.

the aries kernel is still in development as, if I know bryan and how stubborn he can be, it would be an essential asset for our phone.

this is true. each kernel has it's own flavor just like roms. by us helping out and getting it fully functional, that would just add another flavor for people to taste. since it was not started by us, we will not claim it as our own. we just hope that whoever we helped would credit where it's due.
sent from within the beast
It seems to be a relaxed association, but I'm guessing that there is a min/max kernel version for a given aosp release. Can someone confirm or deny? Perhaps provide a pointer to a detailed discussion..
Thanks for the time,
Steven
