[Q] 3.0 Linux Kernel - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

are we ever going to get a 3.0 Linux kernel on this device

If I had to speculate, I would say no because the Xoom is no longer officially supported and we don't have drivers for the 3.0 kernel.
That's just my opinion. Someone who knows more than I may be able to give you happier news.

Humble 4.5 overclock kernel

Hey everybody, I'm running the latest Humble and I'm lovin it, but I was just curious if anyone knew of any overclock kernels out there that would be compatible with me build. Thanks for all that help me!

Because we are still on leaked builds there are no gingerbread kernels that support overclocking. Some people use the tigrack app from the market to force oclverclock their phones, but I wouldn't recommend it.

fwiw p3droid tweeted earlier that a *possible* final GB build (2.3.6 but no build number was mentioned) submitted to verizon so we could *possibly* have an official update soon... sooooo if you wait it out it'll come then imnuts and imoseyon can work their kernel magic
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
I'm using Tegrak overclock on humble 4.2 with Imoseyon 3.0.1 and its working good. Also allows u to change schedulers. Something I've never known how to do. Running Noop @ 1.2ghz and smooth as butter
Okay thanks guys, hopefully we do get an official release soon but even if we do I'm sticking with 4.5, my phone has never run smoother than it is right now.

ICS doesn't use 3.0 kernel. Why?

Why doesn't the new update from Asus uses the 3.0 kernal? aren't there a lot of enhancements with it?

The 2.6.xx kernels vs the 3.0 kernel........
2.6.39.4 is maybe one ver behind 3.0 i think
Besides all the features can be back ported to the kernel that we are using
Also we still have to wait for kernel source before we can expect anything exciting

its also kernel not kernal.
There aren't a lot of differences between 2.6.39 and 3.0. In fact, Linus made the Linux kernel jump to version 3 because it has 20 years now, not because it's a major release.
So I don't think it really needed as 2.6.39 works well so far
The main reason due to Asus uses the old 2.6.39 (yes old, we are at 3.3 now, with a looot of changes) is because nVidia doesn't provide updated sources for Tegra's devices
That's all

I remember reading on Wikipedia Android History that ICS is based on Kernel v3.0 as default, seems not the case with this one then?
It's not another complaint about ICS, I don't care if it is Kernel v1.0, I just need something that works

Yeah, original ICS from Google is based on newest kernel 3.0, but as i said nVidia just added ICS support to his old 2.6.39 kernel
has nvidia mentione anything about upgrading to 3.0? it seems tegra 3 does use it.

Just noticed spark is using 3.1 kernel. Interesting

Kernels what to use and what they do?

Well I'm still fairly new to this and looking to learn a bit more . I am pleased with my current Hellfire 2.1 now I'm looking to exntend my battery life to the best I can and I was told this can be done with kernels, Soo I was hoping I could get some suggestions and anything that could help me out understand this a bit more.
I am currently using some Faux Kernel that came with the current Hellfire phoenix release.
Lot of people say to use Trinity with this Rom but no one says why nor in the xda page of this kernel say much about what it does, I like to be well informed before doing any changes.
also how do you install a kernel just download and install from zip from clockworkmod recovery like everything else? or is there certain steps to it?
First off this should be in the Q&A...

And yes flash like you would any other zip. Just make sure to do a backup.

I'm currently testing the trinity kernel, The 1.1ghz one for the better battery. Using hellfire phoenix 2.1 so far its the rom I've enjoyed the most.
Any other kernel that anyone could recommend for the best battery performance I could get I'm pleased with the stock performance of the tegra 2 I have no need for overclocks.
Harsh kernel is the best. Flash it and see for yourself

Morfic's Trinity ELP if your phone can handle it as it varies phone by phone. But I also use Faux123's kernels and they work well enough.

Don't flash it because you're using a GB based ROM...
Harshs kernel is for ICS ROMs...

When choosing a kernel you should first know that they all are, in the most basic sense the same, but have little tweaks that make them all different. I know that the Trinity kernel has the Voodoo sound driver built in that is much better than any other driver. Also when choosing a kernel you need to just try a few and see how stable they are as not all phones are created equal. Some can handle the Trinity kernel and some can't (and same with all others). When you find one that works well with you just stick with it. And, as I like to say, to each his own.

[Q] does gingerbread need kernel 2.6.35?

I have been using a linux 2.6.29 kernel with several changes for my hardware and I have been using it with Android 1.6 so far, now I would like to jump to Android 2.3.
As Google released Gingerbread with kernel 2.6.35, I am wondering if that version is required or it is just a matter of device driver availability.
Is it possible/feasible to use a older kernel version like 2.6.29?
does Gingerbread require a specific new version kernel feature? if yes, what?
!!Ventanas!!
It depends entirely on your device, because it is largely about the drivers.
If you were talking a major Kernel version bump it could be an issue with the general software as opposed to the hardware drivers, but with that small of a jump, you would just need to make sure you could compile the drivers for your phone against that kernel version.
It's just like Linux on a computer, really.
I can go up to ice cream sandwich with 2.6.29 so no gingerbread doesn't need 2.6.35.

[Q] Will we see linux 3.4 kernel in ICS roms ?

Today I saw they launched linux 3.4 with merged android code into it, which made me happy. And also I read that they fixed the powersaving problem since 3.1 to 3.3, so my question is the one above. Will chefs be able to "port" 3.4 kernel to ICS anytime sooner or later? I know I should wait and see, as it is a kernel that was just released, but I just want to know wether this is possible.
It will most likely be merged and release for our Sensation. That is usually what Faux and showp do.

Thanks for the info, I remembered in my old desire that for example there were no 2.6.35 kernels for gb, so I thought it would not be possible. Hope to see it sooner than later
