Frequently Asked Questions
For NOOBS
Q) How to flash the kernel
A) Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.
Q) Will i lose my data if i flash kernel?
A) No, you wont lose any data nor do you have to wipe data or cache.
Q) Does my battery need to be 100% to flash?
A) Not at all
Q)Flashed CM 6.2 Kernel on Froyo Rom and WIFI doesnt work?
A) There are two versions of Kernel. One is for Froyo Rom and other is for CyanogenMod Rom 6.2 (CM 6.2). if you are on Froyo rom and flash CM 6.2 then your wifi wont work and vice versa.
Q) 1400 Mhz (Extreme version) doesnt work for me
A) Not all Galaxy 3 suppport overclocking as high as 1400 Mhz. If it doesnt work then keep frequency lower or flash Ultimate, Performance or Lite version
Q) What does this data2sd in g3mod do?
A) data2sd is method by which all your /data partition goes to your sdcard thus giving you more space for downloading apps. Its suggested to use data2sd only if your sdcard class is higher than Class 6
Q) Internel Memory shows 0kb
A) Check if you have fs.data2sd at this location /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ If yes then delete it or else your sd card doesnt have sd-ext partition
Q) How can i go to recovery mode
A) Press MENU+VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER button and bingo!!!
Q) Should i use multi boot even if i am having 2 gb card class 2 ?
A) Sd card with any class can use multiboot
Q) Data Wipe Necessary When Switching Between CM and Froyo ?
A) Yes data wipe is necessary for switching roms between CM and Froyo. But we have given option to Backup data also in recovery.
Q) My APP is not working after Flashing KERNEL
A) Its not a kernel problem
Q) What is tun.ko?
A) It is basically used to setup Open VPN connections
Q) What is jhash3?
A) jhash3 improves the HSDPA/3G/EDGE speed
For Advanced users
Q1) Battery is draining fast?
A) After flashing the kernel please calibrate your battery or else let 3-4 full battery cycles pass.
Q2) Which profiles should i use?
A) Lets take example that you are using Ultimate kernel. Keep the governor ondemand (Like every good boyfriend fulfills all demands of his girlfriend ondemand governor does the same for your CPU ).
Make profiles:-
1) Time Profile - 12 am to 6.00 am Freq 100 Mhz to 400 Mhz Priority 100
2) Screen Off - Freq 100 Mhz to 600 Mhz Priority 95
Q3) What are advanced settings in the SetCPU mean?
A) Sampling rate is rate at which the frequency of your CPU changes. Up Threshold is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Up). Down Threshold (conservative only) is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Down). Powersave bias is used for saving the power of CPU, it will slow down the CPU and affect the performance also 200 in powersave bias mean 20%...250 means 25% and so on.
Q4) I want performance and also good battery what profiles should be i use?
A) Refer to Q2 for Profiles Set up and now go in Advanced tab and Keep Sampling Rate 10000 or 15000. Upper Threshold to 90 and Powersave bias to 200 (20%). Since we are using powersave bias, this will affect the performance as it slows down the CPU so to increase the performance we are lowering the Sampling rate thus we get perfect balance of Performance and good battery backup.
NOTE: ABOVE SETTINGS ARE JUST EXAMPLE..PLEASE PLAY AROUND AND CHOOSE SETTINGS WHICH SUITS YOU THE BEST

Steps for Multi boot:
1) Flash Kernel v1.7+
2) Go to CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Backup ROM.
3) Backup your Current ROM to ROM1 (It will backup the system.img at /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM )
4) Add the system.img of your 2nd ROM to /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM and similarly for different ROM's.
5) Use the CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Switch ROM option to switch between different ROM's.
6) If switching between Froyo ROM and CM6.2 RoM, you will need to wipe data and also change kernel's via update.zip method.
7) Use the data backup and restore option to prevent loss of data when switching between Froyo and CM6.2 ROM's.
Note: Ask the developer of the ROM's to provide you with the system.img for their ROM
How to use Hybrid Data2SD
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo hybrid > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/fs.data2sd'
4) Create a text document in Notepad with a list of all the directories you wish to move. Example:
Code:
app
log
dalvik-cache
---LEAVE A BLANK LINE AT THE END---
5) Save the file and call it 'data2sd.dirs'
6) Do 'adb push data2sd.dirs /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/'
7) Reboot your phone
8) Once your phone has booted, run 'adb shell cat /data2sd.log' to ensure it is running correctly.
How to enable Multi Data
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/multiosdata'
4) Multi Data will automatically backup your data upon booting into a different OS.
Make sure to not wipe your SD-EXT partition. Doing so will erase the backups from other firmware. Only wipe it if you wish to erase data for everything.
You can also use Multi Data to quickly restore data if your phone has become corrupted. It will restore it back to the last multi-boot switching
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdext/lastos'
4) Reboot the phone
Directories for Multi boot:
//ROM Dir
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod6_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod7_ROM"); //Add CM7 Support

How to configure compcache:
If you want to use default configuration (as up to now.. 62 MB aprox.), you don't have to do anything different as what you have been doing. But if you want to use a more/less memory, here are the steps:
Inside that /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/compcache file, write ONLY the number of MegaBytes you want to use for compcache.
Reboot.
If compcache file is empty or contains a "0" inside, it will use default configuration.
How to: BLN
This is only "needed" if you have a i5801 | i5800L or any other Galaxy 3 model with back button lights and want BLN in it.
How to install:
First, download the lights.GT-I5800.so file from google code. Then execute this commands:
adb remount (or if this doesn't work: mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl6 /system)
adb rm /system/lib/hw/lights*
adb push [Location of this file] /system/lib/hw
After that, reboot and now you have BLN working
Steps for Changing the Max Freq(Dynamic OC):
There is an entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table where you can put your own value for APLL.
Before doing this, set "PERFORMANCE" governor on and min and max frequencies to the maximum.
Code:
// Do this in adb
echo "0 a[SIZE="5"][B][U]258[/U][/B][/SIZE]0[SIZE="5"][B][U]3[/U][/B][/SIZE]01 a14d0303 c07e13fc cf850240" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
You need to replace the 258(Hex Value) with your desired value.
Here 258 means
(2*16*16) + (5*16) + 8 = 600
and 3 means it is 600*2 = 1200
Therefore, a2580301 means 1200MHz.
This is a temporary method. For a permanent Method, add this line to a init.d script. Name the script to something like S10_Dyanmic_OC.
Help Others: If you calculate a Hex Value for a particular frequencies add it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5hdnpsWFdTNExiY2t3dy16VzBvaWc6MQ
You can view all the frequency Hex value's calculated by others over here:

Note:
We am learning how to develop kernels.
We willl add different features as and when we can implement them.
The main goal of this kernel will be to keep the phone stable and fast.
There will be nothing as alpha or beta releases.
We will give out the kernels directly, but if anything goes wrong and you have to reflash the ROM or kernel, please dont start shouting.
You may give us different ideas on what features to implement. We will try our best to implement all the features you want
Many of the features implemented in this kernel, are taken from marcellusbe's Fugumod Kernel, and we shall be ever thankful to marcellusbe for the fugumod kernel
Warning:
We are not responsible for any damage caused to your phone (softbrick or hardbrick)
Credits:
marcellusbe for all his help, awesome fugumod kernel
supercurio for voodoo v10
Paolo for BFQ I/O Scheduler
All developers for making this an awesome phone
Everyone who is helping is solving different issues with this kernel
Please let us know if we miss anyone ...oh we did already miss someone..thanks G3MOD TEAM too
What to the old thread?
Nm read that
Btw 6th post got some errors...
@Dharam, i have a question. In your v1.8 Kernel, We can change the partitions to any type we want, can't we? Because in Mumbozver's recovery, we could only use ext2/ext4/ext2.

The kernel itself supports everything, but CWM only supports EXT2. I will look into either porting CWM4 or getting 2.5 to support more systems.

getting 2.5 to support other partitions will be a better idea...coz for CWM 4 you need complete CM7 source, and also most of the update.zip's on the g3 forums use amend...and CWM 4 supports only edify....
All the best to the future process
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Right, I want to work on USB OTG but lack the cable, and the only way I can do it with what I have is if I destroy my only USB cable for my phone. So if someone wants me to do USB OTG, then buy me a cable and I'll do it
All the stuff is there to do it, I just need to get the phone to switch into host mode.
I think v1.9 is going to come sooner than expected...excellent work by the whole team...

BCK - Bam Custom Kernel for i9003 / Galaxy SL
This Kernel is based on the Chinese GB source, released by Samsung on the 18th of November. Last changes to the source were made by Samsung on November 15th. If you still have questions after reading this post, look at the FAQs (including a list of requested features and known issues).
Kernel features:
No SOD
Bugfixes:
~ Sync bug fixed. Notifications for new mails and messages should arrive within one minute under all circumstances
~ Bluetooth problems fixed. Your phone now should play nice with bluetooth hosts, i.e. your car audio system
~ Micro stutters nearly completely gone thanks to lowered processor transition latency. It's smooooooooth
~ Home button double presses exterminated
Governors:
~ smartassV2 governor by erasmux (default)
~ interactive governor by Mike Chan
IO scheduler:
~ SIO IO scheduler by Miguel Boton (default)
~ BFQ IO scheduler by Paolo Valente and Fabio Checconi
~ deadline IO scheduler
Extended features:
~ ro.secure=0 (root acces through adb shell - to root the 'clean flavour' of BCK, please follow the instructions)
~ EXT4 support (to convert your file system, use amit.bagaria's ext4 add-on .apk) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Support for init.d scripts (to use scripts, please follow the instructions) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ BLN support (to use BLN, please follow the instructions)
~ TUN support for VPN networks built-in (no module needed)
~ Increased SD-card read ahead of 768 kb for improved read speed
~ Available with universal CF-root ramdisk based on amit.bagaria's version, improved by loSconosciuto (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Available with universal CWM ramdisk (rooted) based on universal CF-root, but 'tweakless' (Only in CWM .tar)
Overclocking and Voltage:
~ Evolved sysfs interface for variable overclock or underclock (all operating points [OPPs] can be adjusted seperately)
~ Fifth OPP (1.2 GHz) available, device booting up at stock speed (1 GHz)
~ Total frequency control. The device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi.
~ sysfs interface for voltages (read only at the moment)
~ Slight undervolt (3%) on all OPPs
Flashing , settings and compatibility:
If you want to use BCK, please flash it on a clean stock ROM. If you want to go back to stock, repartition and reflash the full firmware with ODIN. This kernel will not work on CM or MIUI.
The CF-root and CWM versions (PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_***.tar / PDA_BCK_CWM_universal_***.tar) can be flashed on any recent Gingerbread firmware. These versions are pre-rooted, which means they include Superuser.
The non-CF-root "clean" version (PDA_BCK_XXKPQ_***.tar / PDA_BCK_XXLE4_***.tar) will only work on XXKPQ / XXLE4. Do not flash this version on anything other ROM than the one indicated in the file name. This will break your WiFi. It's especially risky to flash the clean version of BCK after flashing any CF-root kernel before. Don't do it. This version does not include Superuser, but it is prepared to be rooted. Follow the instructions to do this.
After a kernel update, please wait for the device to boot up and reboot once. There is generally no need for cache cleaning or a full reset. To change the governor and IO scheduler, I use NoFrills CPU Control from the market. It's free and reliable.
I recommend to use the clean XXKPQ version. If you want / need to have root, try the CWM version. If you want the 'full package' with FuGu-Mod and more, use the CF-root. I recommend that you do not apply any further tweaks and use a stock ROM.
>>> Warning: Overclocking may damage your device. <<<
Overclocking instructions:
For overclocking, you will need a shell on your phone, or adb access. I use Android Terminal Emulator. Overclocking is currently limited to certain frequencies (see below) and all operationg points will be set with the stock voltage of the corresponding stock frequency. The frequencies you set have to be within the following ranges:
Code:
OPP1: 100 - 500 MHz, stock 300 MHz
OPP2: 501 - 700 MHz, stock 600 MHz
OPP3: 701 - 900 MHz, stock 800 MHz
OPP4: 901 - 1100 MHz, stock 1000 MHz
OPP5: 1101 - 1500 MHz, stock 1200 MHz, not used by default
Remember that your phone uses all operating points depending on the current load. Anything more than 10% higher than the highest stock frequency is likely to be unstable, but you are free to try it. To change the clocks, open Terminal Emulator (or type 'adb shell') and hack in
Code:
su
echo "1100" > /sys/power/overclock_opp4
as an example. The others are opp5, opp3, opp2 and opp1. That's it.
Settings will be lost at reboot, unless you add them to your init.d scripts. I do not recommend this, as this may cause boot loops if the settings are to high! Be advised that NoFrills CPU Control, SetCPU, or whatever app you use that may adjust clock settings interfers with this. You may wanna update their settings after this. I do not recommend using them to set anything at boot if you overclock any OPP, because they might save the wrong frequencies and crash or do worse.
Changelog:
beta 1:
Added cpufreq governors
beta 2:
Changed smartassV2 settings to fit i9003
Added EXT4 support
Smaller zImage due to .config changes
beta 3 (not released):
Experimented with overclocking (not working, yet)
beta 4:
Finetuned smartassV2 settings
Made smartassV2 governor default
Reverted: Smaller zImage due to .config changes
Switched to linaro 4.6.2 toolchain (also used for ICS)
Activated new, aggressive compiler optimizations (-O3)
Added deadline IO scheduler
Added BFQ IO scheduler (10% higher performance than CFQ in Antutu Database IO Benchmark. This does not mean, that the maximum read or write speed increase! It just means that the throughput under heavy load is higher.)
Made BFQ IO scheduler default
Updated all modules
beta 5:
Variable overclock. Loosely based on the modifications of the Nook Color sources by dalingrin and of course with help from amit.bagaria and DooMLoRD.
beta 6:
Variable overclock for all operating points
beta 7:
Switched to universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria (BCK now should run on every recent GB ROM)
Added correct version information in settings menu, credits to DooMLoRD
Fixed cpufreq stats to correctly reflect frequency changes
Increased SD-card read ahead to 768 KBytes. This results in higher SD-card read speeds.
Major simplifications in overclocking code. Works more robust, now.
Added sysfs interface to show voltages. See /sys/power/overclock_vdd_oppX
Changed all voltages to the mainline Linux kernel defaults. This results in a slight 3% undervolt for each OPP, which saves about 5% power and should have no impact on stability whatsoever. Below you will find an overview of the exact voltages.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP1: 1.0250 V 1.0000 V
OPP2: 1.2000 V 1.1625 V
OPP3: 1.3300 V 1.3000 V
OPP4: 1.3875 V 1.3500 V
OPP5: not def. 1.3800 V
beta 8:
OPP5 (1.2 GHz) now enabled in _1200 version of kernel. Thanks to knzo for pointing me to the right patch.
Fixed video recording bug when running at 1.2 GHz
Fixed power management issues at 1.2 GHz
Small changes to smartassV2 and interactiveX settings
beta 9:
Added simple IO ('SIO') scheduler
Only one kernel version now, which includes OPP5 (1.2 GHz) but boots up at 1 GHz. Be advised that your device may nevertheless be running at 1.2 GHz for five to ten seconds at boot because of software limitations.
Changes in PM to always respect cpufreq policy limits. From now on, the device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Bugfix for framebuffer code. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Reduced IVA / DSP frequency when on OPP5 to be on the safe side.
beta 9fix:
Reverted: Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. (Patch caused random freezes using WiFi.)
Reverted: Bugfix for framebuffer code. (Patch showed no noticeable benefits.)
beta 10:
Fix for sync bug applied. If you still have problems, please report.
This version is identical to beta 10rc14. No need to flash again, if you already are on that version.
beta 11:
Updated universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria to version 9 (released 1st of February 2012), but NO touch recovery
Slight increase in OPP5 voltage (1.38 V -> 1.40 V), may prevent some reported reboots on 1.2GHz
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4000 V
Changes in overclocking code to play nice with your frequency settings. If you overclock OPP5 but have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it won't automatically activate OPP5 anymore. The same is true for the lowest OPP.
If you overclock OPP4 above 1000 MHz and have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it will update the upper boundary to the new frequency of OPP4 so it doesn't get deactivated.
beta 12:
Fixed bluetooth problem with car audio systems (Based on omapzoom patches [1], [2] and [3]). Might resolve other bluetooth issues, too.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed bootanimation. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed install procedure. It will check the actual kernel version, now. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed fix_permissions script to work on our device. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Switched to user_defconfig, to avoid unnecessary debug lines in dmesg.
beta 13:
Updated sources to GT-I9003_SWA_GB_Opensource_Update1 from the 30th of March. This also enables TUN support by default. You do not need any modules for this - it works "out of the box" with any VPN client.
Universal CF-Root: Backup is not failing anymore when started from CWM. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Some small improvements to multiple scripts.
Home button double press issue fixed. There should be no more unwanted double selections in CWM and you can now reliably long press the home button to bring up the list of previously used apps. Idea and timer function taken from a patch by Tegrak.
Fixed priority class for CONTENT_PROVIDER not being set, which may have caused apps of this class to be ignored by the autokiller, resulting in less free RAM.
Lowered OMAP processor transition latency to the value recommended by TI. Subjectively, this brought huge improvements in terms of reducing micro stutters.
Lowered CFS scheduler latency and granularity to values very close to mainline kernel defaults. This could reduce lags in some critical situations, but it doesn't do wonders.
Switched to SIO as default IO scheduler.
beta 14:
Universal CF-Root: Replaced CWMManager and TweakManager with zipaligned files. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: The TweakManager is not replaced on install if it didn't change to preserve it's settings. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Corrected problems because of too little free space in /system when converting to ext4 by permanently moving InfoAlarm.apk from /system/app to /data/app. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-working WiFi on XXLE4 and prevented future problems. Instead of patching the WiFi modules, they are now replaced. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed some small mistakes in the CF-root install procedure.
Switched the compression of ramdisk and kernel from gzip to lzma. This makes the files much smaller and allows us to include more 'stuff'.
Changed smartassV2 settings to wake up at lower frequencies. Further, it is not locked at 300 MHz anymore when the screen is off. Tests showed that free scaling is more battery friendly.
Removed InteractiveX and OndemandX governors and added the Interactive governor by Mike Chan (Source: CyanogenMod Crespo kernel). Since free scaling proved to be more battery friendly, the screen off profiles in InteractiveX and OndemandX made them superfluous.
The device will not scale above 1 GHz for some seconds when booting anymore. It's now safe to use BCK even if your device can't handle 1.2 GHz. Based on a patch by dalingrin.
Changes in PM to respect cpufreq policy limits when playing or recording video. The device should respect your wishes under all circumstances, now
Fixed the SmartReflex voltage calibration of the OMAP SoC for OPP5. This could lower power consumption as soon as OPP5 (1.2 GHz) is activated for the first time.
Slight increase in the OPP5 nominal voltage (1.40 V -> 1.42 V) to allow for some adjustment by SmartReflex (now that it's working...), if necessary. The actual voltage when the device is running will not change for most users! Based on patches by dalingrin and Sanjeev Premi.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4200 V
beta 14 fix:
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-ending row of force closes after flashing the Universal flavour of BCK. The clean XXKPQ version did not show these problems and didn't need a 'fix'.
beta 15:
Universal CF-Root: Modified some permissions to bring it closer to the stock ramdisk
Universal CWM: Created a CWM ramdisk based on CF-root, without most tweaks. You now have three BCK flavours to choose from
Updated to newest UPDATE2 sources by Samsung
Sync bug fix reworked to use new Samsung method from UPDATE2. This may lead to slightly lower standby battery consumption.
Fixed accidental front camera mirroring
Editing smartassV2 settings with busybox 1.20.x and newer no longer leads to reboots. Thanks to loSconosciuto for pointing me to the patch.
Fixed complete crash of WiFi driver when activating WiFi by adapting smartassv2 thresholds
Reverted to the original Google Android toolchain using gcc 4.4.3
Because of the toolchain-switch, the compiler optimizations are now back to -O2 instead of -O3

it doesnt have oc ! it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast
tough luck for me mate....
i compile a vanilla kernel which is ~200 kb larger than stock zImage and it doesnt even boot!
also,even i want to update to 2.6.35.14,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how u did it without source?
also(2)lz open an acc. on github!
@sakindia123: Take a look here, update your sources to the new version, and get the new toolchain they use (see readme in the sources).
i followed that link before......
ok i will try with new source
what will happen if we use this ? are there any good feautures ?
it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast
Now just wait for some days guys. Doomlord, bam, sakindia will show u real power of our device.
This is great! Just one little question, you said this is for a chinese firmware, but you mention KPQ, so it can be put in XXKPQ or not? Anyway sorry for my noob question

It is based on the Chinese source - this includes kernel and android system source. But the kernel is universal (not language specific), and I applied all necessary settings for XXKPQ. Therefore you can flash it on KPQ.
what does a kernel do??
it is the main driving force of a phone that i know.
does it make our phone fast??
how to flash it as i would like to give it a try right away!!
can i roll back to stock kernel after this??
sorry for thr noob question as im new to all this.
---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
also do we need to have CWM recovery for this????
or we can do it with the stock recovery menu??
i was just doing some testing and the kernel is stuck at "SAMSUNG" bootanimation after a FRESH FLASH...
any idea?
used on XXKPQ FW
I flash your kernel. From last 5hours no SOD ISSUE. I'm using smartass v2 let's see how will battery I will get from it.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
Fresh flash of what PDA? Yours, mine, GitHub?
@manrock111: smartassv2 gives me slightly higher battery usage than stock. I want to tweak it, but have problems with my sources at the moment.

sorry... did a fresh install of full XXKPQ FW and now its booting
ok now this is weird... suddenly all of my test kernels have started booting
This is a kernel, build from the recently released saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source.
Compatible with all ICS (Android 4) + Sense (3.6, 4A or 4) based ROMs
OFFICIAL MIUIv4 and Stock rooted ICS users can enjoy init.d scripts support with this kernelEnjoy!BACK2BASICS EDITION
FEATURES
Interactive Aroma Installer
Completely Stock code, with only 2 additions by me:
Configurable sweep2wake.
Ported bcmdhd wireless driver from the HTC One V latest source code for better reception and no wakelocks. Still breaks WiFi tethering in ROMs based on Sense 3.6. Tethering works fine in Sense 4
Completely Stock ramdisk. The only changes are:
Unsecured boot.img (adb remount and USB debugging)
Busybox run-parts (init.d scripts) support
Some extra lines, required for the proper operation of the new WiFi driver
No OC, UV, optimizations or any other changes.
Compiled with the recommended by HTC toolchain 4.4.3
ISSUES
For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
NEW USERS: before flashing install/update BusyBox in /system/xbin (with some of the apps available in the Google Play - the one by Stericsson+Smart Install worked fine for me) and check for the existence of the busybox binary and run-parts symlink in the /system/xbin folder on your device. If there is no such files install/reinstall BusyBox until you have it.
OPTIONAL: If you do not have an /system/etc/init.d folder AND you want to use additional modules you should create it manually BEFORE flashing the kernel:adb remount
adb shell
mkdir /system/etc/init.d
chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d

PATCHED KERNEL 3.0.89
Due to controversial feedback on Tweaked kernel starting from version 5.0 I have decided to take a different approach.
Patched kernel unifies the concept of both Tweaked3 and B2B kernels.
So what does this mean?
The HTC source is taken as a base and is synced completely with the upstream (the official Android kernel 3.0) where applicable. Since it is patched only up to 3.0.72 the rest of the patches are taken directly from the Linux kernel upstream.
All is done from scratch and revising every single commit (it took me 4 days to complete this only). The result is absolutely clean merge (not as in Tweaked where I took the patches from other developers without actually knowing have they screw up something in the progress). During the patching I have discovered some misses or copy-paste from 3.4 upstream (which I consider for another generation devices and probably the changes from there are not completely suitable for our device). I have cleaned and synced with the 3.0 upstream all not-updated files that I discovered during the patching.
FEATURESThe features of the kernel are the basic ones from Tweaked, but staying as close as possible to the Stock configuration (B2B concept):
Interactive Aroma Installer
Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 toolchain
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.89
Synced with Android kernel 3.0 upstream
Overclockable to 1.5 GHz
Added VDD sysfs interface for userspace UV control
Stock Frequencies and Voltages
Default governor: INTERACTIVE @ 254 - 1024 MHz
Interactive governor updated from android 3.4 upstream
Default scheduler: DEADLINE
Configurable Sweep2Wake
Fixed WiFi tethering on Sense 4 based ROMs
Updated WiFi drvier from HTC One V source
Built-in CIFS support
Built-in TUN support
Built-in NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
Optional WiFi calling
Two way call recording - both WAV and AMR
Enabled USB OTG HOST (big thanks to astro757 and engelmarkus)
Enabled SWAP support
ISSUES
If your WiFi does not work upon install check this solution /10x to toxic-hero/
Sometimes the sweep2wake does not work instantly after deep sleep period. Just swipe once more to unlock the device or press the search button.
due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to false manually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
USEFUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READOverclocking applications, reported to work:
If you are in doubt which governor and IO scheduler to use - there is a lot of useful info here (thanks to Tectas and the authors)
SetCPU
Voltage Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
No-frills CPU Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
Daemon Controller app + andrev_oc script
note1: there is virtuous_oc on Virtuous Infinity already, so you can use only the Daemon Controller app
note2: oc daemons are not supporting scheduler changing
undervolting can be done with a command from Terminal Emulator or adb shell:echo -X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levelswhere X is the desired value (-25, -50, -75, -100, -125 or whatever you like). Unfortunately has to be repeated after every reboot since putting it in an init.d script is risky
Originally posted by engelmarkusHi,
I played around with the experimental branch of your kernel once more and today it works perfectly.
Keyboards, mice and USB storage devices work without any messing with the terminal. For almost-auto-mounting I used this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....shajul.usbotg
So I think you can very well enable this in your next kernel version so others can try this out, too.

10 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.5:
Patched to Linux Kernel 3.0.45
Added ck1 patchset by Ziggy (thx to Coolexe) - aims towards better performance
Removed ZRAM - it seems that the compression was the reason for the battery drain
Removed the script for changing the screencapture line in build prop from Aroma, hopefully this will solve the installation issues. You will have to change it manually if needed
01 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.0:
Aroma installer - one file for all. No need to do any preparations anymore (like changes of the updater-script, etc) The installer will gather the important information about your ROM and hboot and the flashing process will be done accordingly.
HTCDEV users: there are instructions in the first post which boot.img to flash. Important: if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
All governors are tuned up according to the CPU frequencies (should have done it long time ago, sorry for the delay). OndemandX (proved unstable) and Userspace (doubt that anyone even uses it) governors removed
CIFS, TUN, KINETO_GAN, NTFS+NLS_UTF8 and ZRAM moved to modules for optional install (the installer will give you a menu for selection, where the purpose of each module is explained)
Updated LZO compression/decompression method for ZRAM (it sould be at least twice faster now)
TREE_RCU and SLAB memory allocator set as default (as it was in the Stock kernel).

Added BrazilianWax, InteractiveX and OndemandX governors
All modules except bcmdhd.ko are built-in in the kernel
Finally found the reason of the battery drain when the Screen is ON and hopefully fixed it. Now the battery life should be rock solid
Flashable zips should be fixed for good. They now will wipe dalvik-cache and cache during flash, no need to do it manually. Version 5.0 zips are backwards compatible (this means you can flash version 5 over version 7.1 without additional actions (deleting or moving files)
05 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 6.0:
Added bcmdhd WiFi driver and fix WiFi Tethering on Sense 4 ROMs (10x to m0narx)
Flashable zips are back!
Comes is two flavors - undervolted -100 and Stock voltages
02 Sep 2012: Tweaked 5.0:
Built with Linaro toolchain
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.42
Reverted to Stock Voltages due to some users complaints
SLUB is the default memory allocator
Added tun.ko module (use 51-modules init.d script to load it)
Added cifs.ko module (use 51-modules init.d script to load it)
Enabled full capacity charge in non-OEM chargers (e.g. some car chargers)
Enabled NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
Enabled PPP_ASYNC and PPP_SYNC_TTY
Enabled ZRAM - adds another 100 MB to your RAM as a SWAP partition (use 52-zram init.d script to load it)
Enabled USB-OTG (needs confirmation, since I do not have the necessary equipment) - not working
27 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.7:
Expanded frequency table - to give the CPU more steps until the highest frequency
Slight undervolting to save some battery life
Fixed backlight staying on when pressing only home button when s2w with backlights enabled (10x to scan6 for the heads up)
Default clock frequency is 1024 MHz for everyone that requested it
Enabled init.d support in the MIUIv4 version (now you can use the 50-sweep2wake script too)
Separate installation files and instructions for S-ON (hboot 2.00.0002) and S-OFF (hboot 0.98.2000, 2.00.2002, 7.xx) users
25 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.0:
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.41
Added sweep2wake configuration: default Enabled with no backlight
Added lionheart, lulzactive, intellidemand, scary, lagfree, lazy and savagedzen governors
Added BFQ and VR schedulers
Added Snapdragon optimizations
23 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 3.0:
Added Lionheart and Smartass2 governors
Added Simple IO Scheduler
Enabled ARCH_POWER
Disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS
22 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 2.0:
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.30
Added support for MIUIv4 and Virtuous Infinity
Source code published @github
21 Aug 2012: Initial release
Based on the released by HTC saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source
Added Sweep2wake functionalit
Overclocked to 1,5 GHz
ISSUES
due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
USEFUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READOverclocking applications, reported to work:
If you are in doubt which governor and IO scheduler to use - there is a lot of useful info here (thanks to Tectas and the authors)
SetCPU
Voltage Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
No-frills CPU Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
Daemon Controller app + andrev_oc script
note1: there is virtuous_oc on Virtuous Infinity already, so you can use only the Daemon Controller app
note2: oc daemons are not supporting scheduler changing
undervolting can be done with a command from Terminal Emulator or adb shell:echo -X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levelswhere X is the desired value (-25, -50, -75, -100, -125 or whatever you like). Unfortunately has to be repeated after every reboot since putting it in an init.d script is risky

On Fallout the backlight works as it should.
In a room without direct sunlight - off
On screen off - off
Outdoor or in a dark place - on
Try in different conditions, maybe there is too much light where you are
I wish it was usable for non Sense ROMs

It's perfect! I haven't seen so cool and fast rom as fallout with this kernel yet!
Is it not harmful for Desire S to overclock to 1.5 GHz ?
Shouldnt make any harm going to 1.5.
Now the kernel source, is https://github.com/showp1984/bricked-shooteru-ics-sense what you releasing? if no you need to release the exact kernel source you using, laws
I dont want any saga dev to have issues
Edit:
More then that, some devices comes with stock 1.5 with same processor but remember, the more you put, the less battery
Hi, is there a way to revert it to stock? Thanks.

Good point
Yes the changes for sweep2wake are the same, made by showp1984, unmodified by me
And yes, this is the stock OC, I have just enabled it for the time being.
I am pretty sure that soon there will be much more tweaked and polished kernels made by the experienced devs, but since most of them are taking summer holidays I compiled this one for playing with Sense 4 until they come back to development

Yes you can always flash the original boot.img of the ROM that you are using via fastboot. Then copy the bcm4329.ko and kineto_gan.ko of your original ROM to /system/lib/modules with any root file explorer. To restore the stock screenshot feature change the value ro.htc.framework.screencapture from false to true in your build.prop

Update 2013-03-05 (3.1.10that4):
The latest kernel is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38797590&postcount=194
New features: User voltage control and Data2SD auto-detection.
End Update 2013-03-05
Update 2013-02-06 (3.1.10that2):
After positive feedback from testers and due to popular demand, here is my latest kernel with the experimental new "ROW" I/O scheduler. If you want to know more, read the documentation in the patch here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1862241/ . Please note that this is a rather new development and not yet merged into a mainstream kernel, so it has not been widely tested. However, all results from XDA members were neutral or positive so far.
End update 2013-02-06
Since Asus seemed to have forgotten to release the 10.4.4.25 kernel sources, I reminded them politely - and finally the sources are available for download from their support site!
This is the first kernel ever that I cross-compiled myself - be gentle.
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- Asus 10.4.4.25 base
- fsync control
- ISO 9660 + UDF support (CD/DVD filesystems)
- CIFS (for mounting Windows shares)
New in 3.1.10that2 (2013-02-06):
- ROW I/O scheduler (prioritize READ requests over WRITE requests on eMMC/SD cards) included as default
New in 3.1.10that4 (2013-03-05):
- User voltage control for undervolting
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that5 (2013-03-24):
- Penguins! (framebuffer console)
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that6 (2013-04-01):
- No more crash when reading /sys/bus/nvhost/drivers/tegradc/tegradc.0/nvdps
Ramdisk features:
- insecure adbd
- init.d support
- does not set lcd_density (dpi unlocked)
in the -data2sd versions only:
- mount points modified for the Data2SD mod (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507)
New in 3.1.10that4 (2013-03-05):
- auto-detection of data2sd - if the microSD card is inserted at boot time and it contains a second partition, it is assumed to be a data2sd partition and mounted as /data. Otherwise, the system is booted with /data mounted to internal storage as usual.
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that5 (2013-03-24):
- moved auto-detection of data2sd to scripts in /system for easier customization (read the release post for details)

This kernel (and all others in this thread) is compatible with stock-based (Asus Android 4.1.1) ROMs that set lcd_density (dpi) in build.prop - in other words, this is the preferred kernel for CleanROM Inheritance.

(You might now ask "where is the overclocked version"? I decided to start with a known stable base for my first release - if this one turns out to work fine, the oc build comes next.) - for overclocked version, read next post!
Overclocked!
This is 3.1.10that1-oc - the version with clemsyn's overclocking patches. Please note that I only extracted and then applied his patches to the current kernel and typed "make" - I don't understand all the scary frequency and voltage tables, and I don't know how it works in detail. However I got up to 7130 points in this benchmark thingy, and system tuner shows 1.8 GHz, so it appears to do something.
Please note that this is only the kernel, and it does not contain clemsyn's changes for the Asus performance modes. As you may know, the 3 Asus performance modes are activated by running shell scripts in /system/etc named cpu1.sh to cpu3.sh. Clemsyn's kernels replace balanced mode with performance mode, and performance mode with the new overclocked mode. This kernel does not do that, it leaves your modes as they were!
Depending which kernel you were using before, the following will happen:
- Coming from a stock kernel, you keep balanced and performance modes, and the extra overclocking mode can only be activated by executing /system/etc/cpu4.sh. If you want, you can rename cpu2.sh to cpu2_original.sh, cpu3.sh to cpu2.sh and cpu4.sh to cpu3.sh, then you have performance mode as default instead of balanced, and overclocking mode if you activate "performance mode" - same as clemsyn's. If this is too complicated for you, you can either flash clemsyn's kernel directly before this one, or wait until someone repackages this kernel.
- Coming from clemsyn's kernel, performance modes should work as before. Please don't ask me which specific variant of clemsyn's kernels this one is comparable with - he released only one source package, which I used, but many different kernel binaries. I can't recreate other versions without clemsyn releasing sources for those specific versions.
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- all of the above
- Overclocking and voltage control
Ramdisk features:
- same as non-overclocked version
Additional credits:
- clemsyn, for his amazing overclocking kernel

Great news! Your new data2sd kernel is working very well. All data mountings are correct and fsync is woring wonder! Great job!
1. When PC hook up to device, on PC I see:
a. Internal - ext4 parition on microsdcard
b. Micro - Fat32 partition on microsdcard
c.-SD - Dock SDcard.
2. Disabled fysnc - working wonder, gain 600+ on Quadrant.
I have been using Sandisk Extreme Pro class 10 (95mb/s) and it's very stable (Did not work before with Clemsyn Kernel). With fsync disabled, a gain of 600 point bring Quadrant to 6639 from 5995/6005 without OC. The tablet is super smooth and fast with fsync disabled. I can see the apps are launching faster from stand still, if they already in memory, BAM it's there. Browser also faster, Gallery loaded much faster and I got over 2 thousand pictures. In summary, I'm impress and very happy....just couldn't wait for the OverClock version.. Again, great job _that!! :good::good:
Edit: I will be running this for a week to see if any issue with journaling and fsync disabled on this super fast sdcard. Will report back.
Update 1/30 @ 10:30pm est - After 4 1/2 hrs, this tablet stills running smooth and quick. Very happy with this kind of performance, probably the best to date. What I'm really exciting about is, there still more room for performance....when "_that Overclock kernel" arrived..
tried this on PA, and I get a message, upgrading apps, but then it hangs. Is this to work on all ROMS, or just stock?

Should be just for stock Cleanrom.
Tried this fantastic kernel in the last 5 hours and it is smooth, had no problem at all. Epic Citadel reports a benchmark of 38.9 fps.
Can't wait to try the OC version of it. Also waiting for the SanDisk Extreme to arrive from Amazon to try out the data2sd too.
Re: [KERNEL] 3.1.10that1 ★ 10.4.4.25 + fsync + ISO9660 + CIFS
I can confirm that data2sd version is working great. Waiting for the OC version. Good job!
So how does one disable fsync?
Flash this kernel, reflash ROM with no kernel option and fsync disable checked, or?
Just flashed this kernel. I have disabled fsync and my tablet has sped up. Thanks for this kernel _that.

1. Reflash CleanRom 3.2.1

3. Reboot
4. Wipe Devlink Cache/Cache

This should disable fsync with this kernel.

Hello i just want to say thanks, i am using the data2sd version without any problem.
If someone is interested in the kernel changes between 10.4.4.23 and 10.4.4.25 can follow this link to my github.
Looks like Asus has made some changes in the mmc management:
Code:
/*
* SD Workaround: downgrade frequency for seldom specific sdcard
*/

Sure, that's the point of me publishing all the sources as detailed as I can - take whatever you can use.
By the way, there is a nice script in the kernel sources that extracts a config from a zImage, it's in scripts/extract-ikconfig and you pass a zImage to it as a parameter. Maybe that's useful for you one day.

Excellent. Note I mod Clemsyn's cpu.sh files so that balanced mode is balanced mode which theorectically means I can now make a 1.3 1.8 and a 1.5 1.8 version of this
Off to do some testing.
Looks like Kernel Installer 1.8 is in the making.
I can confirm that oc data2sd version is working great.
Thanks great job :good:

Nothing like quoting yourself. Yes it works. Now running a 1.3 1.8 GHz version of this kernel
Many thanks _that. Time to thank you with a donation. :good:
Introduction
This kernel is designed to be more stable than the stock kernel, with more features and more performance. Choose any three.
I do not include any changes that have no clear positive effect on these goals.
Features
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- Asus 10.6.1.14.10 base
- Support for Samsung's F2FS filesystem (experimental) and exFAT
- ISO 9660 + UDF support (CD/DVD filesystems)
- CIFS (for mounting Windows shares)
- BFQ I/O scheduler (http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/) v7r5; ROW I/O scheduler v4 (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1862241/) and "deadline" is also available
- fsync control (echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled)
- Overclocking up to 1800 MHz, based on clemsyn's patch, configurable clock frequencies for balanced and performance mode
- User voltage control for undervolting
- Crash fixes when reading various files in /sys
- mount space hack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=36889027 allows mounting across Android processes again (e.g. using CIFS Manager)
- NFS v3/v4 client (supports files > 2 GB)
- NFS v3/v4 server as module (untested, needs userspace tools which I haven't yet compiled)
- Framebuffer console at boot (Android penguins!)
- Keyboard dock: support for F1-F12 function keys, special key mappings for CyanogenMod and GNU/Linux (Esc, Insert, Delete, Alt, Windows)
- Support for various USB Ethernet adapters and FTDI serial port adapters
- Kexec-able and able to kexec other kernels
- SELinux is not included for compatibility with the stock ROM's proprietary NTFS and exFAT drivers
- Tethering via dock USB port (untested), see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52917184&postcount=2740
Ramdisk features:
- adbd with root access enabled in default.prop, ro.secure=0
- optimized mount options (noauto_da_alloc)
- init.d script support
- USB IDs for all Tegra 3 based Transformer models (init.xx.rc)
- does not set lcd_density (dpi unlocked), must/can be set in /system/build.prop instead
- preinit system for easy ramdisk customization without repacking or reflashing the kernel: if exists, runs a custom script "/system/boot/preinit" before Android init, e.g. for adding Data2SD detection, ROM2SD, etc.
- File-system auto-detection for use in preinit scripts
Installation/Download
Flash the zip in recovery and reboot; the bootloader will move the kernel to its final place while showing a blue progress bar.
Compatibility
This kernel is compatible with the 10.6.1.14.x bootloaders and stock-based (Asus Android 4.2.1) ROMs that set lcd_density (dpi) in build.prop - in other words, this is the preferred kernel for CleanROM Inheritance. It also works with other ROMs up to Android 4.4 (requires a preinit script to provide the corresponding ramdisk files). The kernel is derived from the original TF700T sources but is known to work also on the TF300.
MD5 sum:
You don't need an MD5 sum. Enable "Zip file signature verification" in TWRP instead - it checks the SHA1 checksum embedded in the archive, which is both more secure and more convenient.

2013-04-11: 3.1.10-10.6.1.14.4-that2
The Asus source release was surprisingly fast this time. I ported all my popular non-intrusive stock kernel improvements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125783) and recompiled the kernel. Special thanks to buhohitr for testing this release!
I couldn't get the framebuffer console to work, so no UltraCleanROM support for now.
(-that2 downloads deleted)
Documentation
This kernel supports a few additional parameters. As usual these can be set from a root shell or an init script - for details how to do that, read a tutorial about using the Unix/Linux command line.
fsync
To turn off fsync (warning: read this and this before):
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
To turn it on, write 1 instead of 0.
Clock speeds and overclocking
Note that the special overclocked system_mode 3 has been removed in -that10. There are now only 3 modes, as in the stock kernel (powersave, balanced, performance). To enable overclocking beyond 1700 MHz (or 1600 MHz for more than one core), you need to override the EDP limit:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_edp
To set clock speeds for balanced and performance mode, for example:
Code:
echo 1300 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_mhz_bal
echo 1800 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_mhz_perf
User voltage control
works exactly like in upstream implementation - ask me to update this if you want to know more.
Keyboard dock tweaks
CyanogenMod has a slightly different mapping for some of the dock function keys. To enable compatibility with CM and CM-based ROMs:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/cm_mode
Function keys F1 to F12 can be entered using right Alt/AltGr and the keys from "Toggle WiFi" to "Next Track". This might only work in native Linux and maybe CM.
For native Linux users, I added additional parameters:
Code:
echo $flags > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/key_flags
echo 1 > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/key_autorepeat
where $flags is a number between 0 and 15, by combining these bit flags:
1 = inverts the meaning of Alt for function keys (F1-F12 without Alt, and special functions with Alt. Also, Mute is Insert and Lock is Delete.)
2 = Back is Esc
4 = Search is left Alt
8 = Home is left Windows (aka "Meta" aka "Super_L")
Thanks so much for the RIL patch that seems like fixed my compiling problems lets see
IM just a noob here trying to compile and learn hehe:victory:
EDIT: Yes it compiled
Now I ask myself why Asus released a bad source code lol?

The RIL include fix is old news - it was already required in the 10.4.4.x kernel, and it's published in my 10.4.4.25 kernel release thread.

Learning by doing is still the best way. If you manage to get your own kernel installed and running (if not, read my blob repacking guide), then you have definitely left the "n00b" status.

Maybe they are using an older compiler that behaves differently.
Thanks man I already knew how to make the blob file and put the signing in, I used to help clemsyn packing its kernel when he didnt have time and well I did it tonight :good: I compile my kernel thanks now will learn how to make it with linaro
EDIT:
P.D I left the n00b status some time ago lol
To install this kernel, do I need to flash both the flash zip and the patch for sbdags' Asus stock rom . I have a US bootloader and a WW rom

That patch has nothing to do with sdbags roms,that patch contains all the changes made to the original kernel and it's for development only (you can apply that patch to the original or own 4.2.1 kernel source).

Yes.Keep in mind that after flashing the kernel the DPI will be set to 160.

Not here. DPI is still at 240.
Flashed kernel, UV 75mV and all looks ok. :good:

I had already changed the build prop file to set dpi to 213 and when I flashed this new kernel it held the setting.
Obviously if you edit the build prop file then your setting remains however if you haven't then maybe it will change to 160. This I'm not sure about since if the default set by stock ROM is 240 and this is what we edit, why would it change to 160?

For some unknown reason, the default build.prop on the TF700 contains the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=160" - the correct 240 dpi is set by the stock kernel's ramdisk. I removed the latter, so the setting in build.prop takes effect.

Ah, I forgot to mention this, which I now added to the OP:
