[KERNEL] Unofficial Fresh Toast thread

I'm starting this thread as I'd like a place to talk about the Fresh Toast kernel as it doesn't look like one has been started yet. If flipz decides to make his own thread at some point then we can delete this one.
The Following is from http://geekfor.me/evo/21/fresh-toast-experimental/
Geek For Me is proud to release:
Fresh Toast Custom Kernel for your Sprint Evo 4g
Experimental, and only available through Fresh Updater.
Fresh Toast was a popular collaboration rom by toastcfh and myself for the CDMA Hero. I am proud to announce that it’s now available for the Evo! Rather than being offered as a separate rom it is now going to be offered as an update/patch for Fresh Evo. If you are running Fresh Rom 0.5.3 or 1.0.0 (testers/donors only right now) then you can get the update by enabling experimental roms in Fresh Updater (more info below). There are 0 changes made to the rom itself other than drivers, all of the changes are in the kernel.
The release notes on this are going to be very brief right now, and so is support. Please report any issues that you guys come across but don’t be too surprised by that due to it’s experimental nature. You all are the testers!
Fresh Toast Features:
* CompCache / ramzswap
o This is actually already included in Fresh Evo, but thanks to the new kernel it is hard coded in there and works a lot better.
* Overclock available up to 1.27ghz, however it doesn’t seem to totally function above about 1.15ghz.
o Only tested with SetCPU. Should also work fine with Overclock Widget. Neither are included.
o If you are reporting OC issues then make sure to say which application you are using. And don’t report it if it’s related to problems when going above 1.1ghz.
* Undervolt — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling#Undervolting
o This lowers the voltage required by the processor at lower clock speeds, thus reducing heat and battery drain.
* Ext4 support — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
o If using apps2sd then you can convert your ext partition to ext4. Read the wikipedia article for noted benefits.
o You can use AmonRA to convert from ext3 to ext4 without any data loss, just keep in mind that if you try using another rom that doesn’t support ext4 then it won’t be able to read it. Going from ext4 back to ext3 will require re-partitioning your sdcard.
* Both kernels contain extensive tweaks related to speed, power, VM, etc. More details and information to come on all of those tweaks.
* Brain F**k Scheduler aka BFS (optional) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler
o One version of the kernel includes BFS and one doesn’t. BFS will definitely make your phone run faster but it’s done with a possible side effect of stability. Test it out and see if you have any issuers.
o If you are reporting any problems with Fresh Toast then make sure and say if you are using the BFS kernel or not.
o If you aren’t sure what a scheduler is: it’s basically what is responsible for queuing up work for the processor to do. From an engineering standpoint even though we can multitask on our phone, the CPU is technically doing only one thing at a time. A scheduler is what controls which job the CPU is working on and which ones are next. This replaces the stock android one with BFS.
Reporting an issue? Please give us which kernel number you are using (#13 or #20 — you can get this by going to Settings < About Phone < Software Information < Kernel Version) and also which overclock application you are using.
Download:
This can only be downloaded through Fresh Updater, and only if you are on Fresh Evo 0.5.3 or 1.0.0 (testers/donors only for now). Users coming from Fresh Evo 1.0.0 should not have to worry about wiping or doing anything special. If coming from 0.5.3 then a wipe might be required to get it booted, I didn’t test. Fresh Updater also has the kernels included with Fresh Evo so that you can go back to them if you have any issues with Fresh Toast. As always make sure you do a nandroid.
You must enable experimental roms in order to have them show up.
Fresh Updater > Menu > Configuration > Rom Update Settings > Display Experimental Roms — Then check for updates.

I'm currently testing out the fresh toast kernels on the DC 3.2.3 rom, I'll post back about my findings soon.
edit: So far it doesn't appear to be working with the DC rom. It's just hanging on boot. I'll give it a bit longer but its already
been sitting on the intial htc EVO 4g logo for 5 minutes.
edit2: I've been unable to get the DC Rom to boot with either of the fresh toast kernels. even with a data wipe. i'm going to try
again.. if anyone else gets it working please post.

Does this have the fps uncap? N if so for which hardware?

it does not. given the tearing problem that the toast + epson fps fix kernel has, at this point I just want a kernel
that will enable over/underclocking. the fresh toast kernel fills that niche.

Actually we have been testing this Rom since it came out. Check the last pages of posts here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700448&page=254

so far its not booting. i'm going to try a data wipe, but i didn't think that was necessary with kernels.

Relax just saying it is being talked about in his fresh rom thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700448&page=248 anyone else can reference that as well as this thread.

No not at all man, no worries good to have a thread just for this rom. Flipz is doing some amazing work. I have installed a few roms and fresh has been the most stable for me. With this new kernel Rom for the first time I have seen a huge improvement in battery life. Can't wait to see what version 1 brings

does this kernel support the cams? didnt read anything one way or the other yet.

Both work correctly.

If u wanna use my binary in dc or anything else ull have to extract the binary kernel from the boot.img and compile it with the ramdisk from the Rom u are going to flash it to. Also ill need to modify the ramdisk to run compache/ ramzswap scripts and grab the modules from the fresh toast build also. Add all that to ur build and flash the newly compiled boot.img and u should be toasted up

No Problems
No problems here - Flashed using Amon_RA recovery. Running Fresh 0.5.3 ROM.

Quick question - I've been running the Fresh Toast kernal with BFS pretty nicely for about a day now, but I'm still unsure about a few things. How does the undervolting work? Is it automatic if I underclock the CPU, or is it always undervolted? Right now I have SetCPU set to a max of 1152.

[DEV] Porting Photon kernel 2.6.32 here

. .

cardsharing said:
Hi all developers, i open this thread about porting kernel for photon here. Im working on it and here is interested stuf about bcm4329
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
good link, will follow it!
i'm sure we can find useful stuff on 2.6.32 and backport on 2.6.29.
differences between arch/arm/msm on both versions are quite big, thus im not sure how easy it is to upgrade photon kernel.
i found a way to get some terminal console and some debug outbut:
just install the HTC Sync for HTC Aria, it gives you the USB ADB driver: link here
Then, in a command window, execute following commands:
Code:
adb devices => tells you if your device is recognized
adb shell => launch a basic linux shell
type "dmesg" to have the debug message
"dmesg | /bin/more" to have the same but page by page (press space enter to go next page)
you can also install android applications:
adb install <name of file>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at first look, you can see the kernel is compiled with loaaads of debug output.
and we can already see a recurrent segfault that might be the cause of some of the issues we have.
Note: adb.exe enclosed in zip file of this message

Maybe it's a good idea to make a list of all issues we experience at this moment in the first post. That way, we can handle them one by one
This is my list now:
- Battery driver doesn't work.
- Maybe that has to do with the battery driver, but when I use my device with Android for about a half an hour (Angry Birds), the back side comes very warm...
- Data not working (WiFi and GPRS as well)
- Buttons need realignment
- Sometimes it happens that when I turn my device off just with the power button, the lights under the hardware keys keep going.

Attention!
i do not want to pick at cotulla, but in fact we want to use his changes for another port it is to say: his code is kind of mess
you can really see that he stopped working on it instantly..
Either someone cleans this up or you will really have to understand what he intended to do!

Well..I think the reason he stopped instantly is here
Cotulla dumped the project few hours after this post,some of you may call it coincidence,but i think Cotulla was reading what we were writting there.
helping someone who is swearing you work is....(i don't wanna use bad words)
if i were him i will do exactly the same!
we need to be thankful that he even released the working haret for us

who can tell ...
hi I want to know about how to custom the haret image. and how to solve the connect problem. so does the battery. so just tell me the general steps.. I am willing to test the image. thanks all the developers.

agree with you.
i'm not sure every single modification is required (code looks like "modif here, compile and see if it works better"), but it's incredible chance to have a working source code and we all thanks cotulla for his work. this way we have a chance to have a clean code starting from the liberty/aria source code.
it seems he tried to investigate the wifi issue (many wifi files modified compare to liberty) but with no luck.
in the kernel configuration he released, he said we could get the kernel debug traces on the PC.
do you guys know how to get it? plugging usb cable when android is booting does not seems to help.
reason I'm asking is, it seems there are lot of debug informations available but so far i cannot access to them...

maybe is this
http://droidbar.net/2010/09/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode/

That option is enabled by default on the 2.2. image that have been posted.
I think you have to use adb tool as said here to see the output.

thanks! yeah you see it takes time
can you compile the kernel and send the zImage as well?

Thank you! works very good!

I'm so proud I could cry lol
I'll get to work pulling the apps and framework and deodixng for you, I'll see if I can grab the framework and bluetooth drivers from 314 and port them over.

Thank you again! I'm also proud lol.
Deodexing not worked for me yesterday. The deodexing script went great, it deodexed every apk and framework jar from the system, but after pushing them back, it just gave me a boot loop.
I'm also working on it.

Im a noob at flashing roms. Can you please list the step by step

Download the flash tool and the rom, but in the same folder both. Press the reset on your tablet and when you release immediately press the menu+power button. In the flash tool select the ini file depend on you have 512 or 1 gb and for the other slot the vortex.pak and press the button... this is the short version
You can found the long here:

you need a cortex a8 which is: Flytouch 4s/5s/6/7/V10
one question: i have a huge battery drain. do you have this also?

Does bluestack drain the battery ?

Better drain is the bug of the stock rom, and because we don't have the source I haven't found a workaround yet. Hopefully it will be fixed in the stock rom soon. One thing is for sure: it not use deep idle mod, so it almost drain as fast as when your screen is off, when it on. (except the screen, of course). But if you power off your device totally when you not use it and it only turned on when you use it, the battery just similar to 2.3.

Wow! Thanks! But I don't think this is the same device but it could work... to tell you the truth I not really want to modify the kernel. It could be dangerous... But I take a look at it.
Yesterday I got a weird idea. Port the Clockworkmod recovery to our device.
It could be very useful but currently I don't know I have enough knowledge to do that.
Edit: just now see what you linked contain the source of the recovery... I just try to compile it, and see is it working on our device or not. Maybe we have a change to clockwork recovery?

I just got a tablet as a gift. On the box it says SuperPad VI, but on the sales receipt it says Tablet PC SuperPad IV. In settings it just says MID. Is it one of those tablets you are speaking of here? I would like to root it. Sorry it is my first tablet and i am still a noob on it.

As mentioned before my naf:
you need a cortex a8 which is: Flytouch 4s/5s/6/7/V10
So it should work.

do you have android 2.2 installed? then 90% possibility of being a ft4. android 2.3 could be a superpad 6. or FT6

If you're not sure what tablet you have then download any of the benchmarking apps off the market and see what CPU it says you have.
If it says it's an X220 then you have a DISCO, P041 or SAWEE these are Froyo 2.2, there's some that have been sold with the build.prop edited to say they are Gingerbread 2.3 but they aren't, they are still 2.2
If it's a Cortex A8 then this rom will work on it, but only if it's a 10 inch resistive screen.

Thanks for your answers, i installed android system info and it gives following data among other
Andriod version 2.3
cpu abi armeabi v7a
maker vimicro
device vortex
screen 1024x600 160 dpi
processor armv7 processor rev 2

vimicro vortex android 2.3.... you have a superpad VI...

Hit the THANKS button, if you use this ROM!
I will complete this thread at a later time, but for the next month I'll have to study a lot , so maybe no time for uploading and completing thread.

You can disable the CRT animation. You go to Settings->Display->You turn off the Screen off animation.
I haven't found any bugs yet, everything works very smooth and even YouTube works! :good:
I think this is the best ROM for our "legacy" device

Thank you! Didn't know you could manually enable/disable it.

i really want to try this rom in my old htc magic!
I would like to know wich recovery do you use and recommend to flash your rom.
another question is the funcionability of the apps with this rom
thank you for all your work for "our" device.

I think you can only flash it with CWM recovery.
All apps that work on GB, will work in ICS.
But the Play Store will show a lot more apps, but a lot of them will force close when you try to open them.
But in general, everything should be smoother.

ok. This rom is good. But it is slow when download from playstore. Thanks!

Thanks for CM9, i was looking for some stable rom
I will try this ROM and will let u know my findings

Thank you for porting this over. I have neglected my HTC Magic for quite some time now, finally got it out, dusted it and went through the flashing bits for this. Stable and much smoother than I expected to have on a (relatively) dated device. Are the processor options under 'Performance' settings disabled or is it meant to be on 'ondemand' all the time?

You can't change any options in Performance. I'll see if I can change that, because now, if the displayed CPU speeds are right, the CPU is constantly running on 710 Mhz when you used it.

Default cpu frequence 710MHz is not stable enough to bootup my phone, could you please lower down to 650MHz please?

Did you try to flash it? My phone doesn't run on 710 either, but it does boot.

Yes, I flashed it. During boot, cat /proc/cpuinfo get 710MHz and boot failed. After set it to 620MHz, it bootup success.
Your ROM works great, thanks!

Ok, thanks! I'll set it to a lower speed in next version.

I would really advise against overclocking by default. The majority of these devices can overclock to acceptable speeds, but others can't do much at all. My mytouch 3g, for example, would freeze at anything above 595mhz, and it was most stable at 537 or below. So even with that lower overclock you decided on, I still wouldn't be able to use this without modifying the rom.
There are plenty of ways to make this recommended, but optional. You could put an oc script in a separate zip to flash. Or you could start using the fancy Aroma installer. Ezterry's yesno binary is really easy to implement.

I didn't know the cpu was running at a higher speed. I thought it was a bug in performance section, who was showing the wrong speed, since my HTC Magic normally freezes at 710 Mhz.

It's been years since I last flashed a MyTouch3G (32B)... Just got back one that I'd gifted away two years ago, it decided not to boot around Christmas and I brought it home to wipe/reflash.
Glad to see work still being done on this old device! It's ahead of my G2X in Roms.. That's effin sad.
Now if I can just remember how you flash a kernel on this thing....
EDIT:
I'm a bit confused about the kernel.... the thread linked doesn't actually seem to be any specific kernel??? More "how to flash a kernel safely" and hboot/radio files. I already have the required hboot/radio! So which kernel do I use??
EDIT 2:
N/m.... can't be assed to sit here all night trying to figure out which kernel to use on an antique phone. Went with Gingerbread instead.

Sorry for the wrong info on flashing your 32B device, I did not notice that your device was not a 32A sapphire but the 32B instead!

You have to take a working 32B kernel, preferably a flashable zip. The link in the opening post isn't directing to a kernel, but search for it in the G1 section and you will find a lot kernels.
ICS is much faster, so I would suggest you try it.

Can you point me into the right direction? My dad has an old Magic 32B with Radio 27.08. What Kernel should i use? Or what ICS Version are you talking about?
Thanks in advance.

when is out the final version?

Need info about touchscreen related files on LineageOS.

Hi People!
I have an SM-T355Y which does not have any official or unofficial LineageOS ports. So, I am using a ROM for a similar device (SM-T350) which has some unofficial ROMs..
The screen has some scaling difference between the SM-T350 and T-355Y models due to which touches in around 75% of the screen get scaled to entire 100% - so to click something at the right bottom corner, I have to touch a point which is around 1.5 inches from bottom and 0.5 inches from right. Crude representation below:
Touching blue point will click at orange point:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there some config file that I can edit to scale the touch response so that I get the click below the point I touch?
Or is there a 'mapping' file that I can use?
Do let me know if I can try some other tricks.

You need a kernel that is compatible with your model number. Your device and the similar device have slightly different hardware, therefore, the kernel from the other device is slightly different than yours.
This isn't the kind of thing where you can just edit some system files, this has to be done by installing a compatible kernel. You will have to try finding a kernel that is already made for your specific model number or you will have to build a new kernel from the ground up yourself by compiling the new kernel using the source code for your device(if it is available). Or, you can try using a kernel from other similar devices. Or, you can try porting a kernel to make it work on your device.
If you are lucky, you might find something that is already compatible that you can just install as it is. If you can't find something compatible, you'll have to compile a new kernel or port an existing kernel.

Thanks for the guidance.
Possibly dumb questions:
1. Can a kernel specifically compiled for my device be 'flashed' into the currently installed setup, through PC or TWRP, or do I need to 'integrate' it into the ROM and flash the ROM again?
2. As I said, my device is unsupported by LineageOS. What would be a good resource for me to follow to build a device specific kernel?

1) the kernel can be flashed via TWRP if it has been converted into a flashable .zip file, can can take a copy of your lineageOS ROM .zip and delete the ROM system.img from the .zip and replace it with the kernel file. It is risky if you don't edit the .zip file correctly, you might want to consider using a method that converts your kernel file directly into a flashable .zip the same way ROM .zips are created.
2)first, you need to do some Google searching to see if your device's stock kernel source has been released to the public. If it isn't publicly available, you will not be able to build a device specific kernel. Or you can try finding LineageOS ROMs for similar devices and extract the kernel from those ROMs and flash them on your device. You could also find the lineagOS kernel source code for those other devices/ROMs and try compiling your own kernel from those lineageOS kernel sources.

Thanks a ton for the feedback.
There is no ROM/ kernel for my device and the 'similar' device has the scaling issue.
Having said that there was a Marshmallow kernel from Ashyx: But I am not confident that it will work with a Nougat ROM.
I looked at the compile instructions for LineageOS, but that has a step where it needs to download proprietary files from a device already running LineageOS ROM. Kind of chicken and egg problem it seems.
Looks like there is no way ahead on this.
