In the OC boot menu...
What is it for? Does it need to be enabled along with the Status checkbox?
No, isn't needed. I don't know what's this option for, but thinking in linux kernel I think is something to load all cpu governors modules and any other module related to cpu freq section of kernel (you can find these options in Power Management section of linux source code)

Noma kernel for Huawei U8150
I'm introducing my custom kernel for Huawei U8150 IDEOS phones. In Kenyan Swahili noma usually means "tight," as in: "That music is tight!" It can be used in other ways too, but I like this connotation the best.
GoalsMy aim is to learn about Linux kernel internals, practice software development using git, and to share with the community. In addition to that, I want to explore and test tweaks which lead to increased/optimized performance on this bargain phone (it's very popular in Kenya). Some of the areas of improvement I have in mind are:
CPU scheduling (UI responsiveness, reducing lag)
CPU frequency scaling governors (smartass? ondemandX? interactiveX?)
I/O scheduling and filesystems (flash disk performance, throughput, latency, maybe simpleio scheduler?)
Security (network, local)
Newer drivers (mainstream, community kernel sources)
Newer GCC compilers (CodeSourcery, Linaro)
Easy rooting
Integrate ClockWorkMod Recovery
Integrate busybox
Explore different compression algorithms (LZO, gzip, LZF, etc) for zImage...
Compcache (zram) (info, announcement)
SLOB memory allocator for better memory allocation? (info)
Current features
Code:
- multi-touch gestures (on devices with [url=http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/08/does-your-huawei-u8150-support-multi-touch-gestures/]supported hardware[/url])

Change logChange logs are a pain in the ass to keep up to date, but you can see changes live in the git repository itself. See the commit history of the below branches if you're curious:
froyo-noma-dev commits (dev, bleeding edge)

Source code
I respect the GPL (the license covering the Linux kernel), so all the up-to-date source code for this kernel is available on github. My kernel is, in turn, based on the publicly-avaiable Froyo kernel sources from Huawei. You're free to fork, modify, and re-release the code as your own, but you must provide the source code for your resulting work. Doing so ensures you honor the terms of the license, but you're also giving back to the community. Basically, don't be a ****.
Credits
I've written zero lines of C code for this kernel. My work is merely to search for interesting modifications to the Linux kernel and add them to a git repository. The real work has been put in by the following people:
Linus Torvalds and all the other Linux kernel hackers around the world
tj_style (multi-touch gesture support)
Stefano Viola (over/underclock)
Renaud Allard for his Galaxy S awesome sauce (kernel, initramfs, etc)
Erasmux (smartassV2)

Donations
Hahaha! No seriously, save your money; I am gainfully employed and I just do this for fun (and lulz)! Instead, just hit "thanks" on this thread. Or, if you're ever in Nairobi you could always buy me a cup of coffee.
Reserved for flashing instructions...
Could you please post fashing instructions via custom recovery?
Im a bit of a noob.
Thanks.
Use fastboot!

I usually just flash from fastboot lately, as I'm between ROMs too much and I don't bother installing a custom recovery. I suppose I should modify my build scripts to make recovery-flashable zips... hang tight!
... or, if you can't wait, check out my in-depth blog post about compiling and flashing custom kernels on Huawei 8150. I wrote it a few weeks ago when I was a U8150 n00b.
v47 (20110823)
Changes in 20110823v47 (from the git commit log):
Add new, lookup3-based jhash. See: http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html
pids: fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reused immediately
lib/decompress_bunzip2.c: fix checkstack warning
kbuild: drop unifdef-y support
net sched: fix some kernel memory leaks
net/ipv4: Eliminate kstrdup memory leak
Add noma_defconfig. `ARCH=arm make noma_defconfig` to use.
Mostly security and memory leak fixes. The new jhash implementation is based on lookup3.c, a newer, more-efficient implementation (more info here). It's mainly used in the kernel's ipv4 and ipv6 stacks, so don't expect revolutionary performance increases, but it's backwards compatible with the old implementation, so it couldn't hurt to include it.
Default IO scheduler is now deadline (the same as stock Huawei) until I can do some performance tests of other schedulers on this device. Note: I've included BFQ, Anticipatory, CFQ, and noop as well, so you can use those if you like!

v49 (20110824)
Changes in 20110824v49 (from the git commit log):
Default to ZLO compression of kernel and ramdisk. LZO has roughly the same (but worse) compression, but is much faster to decompress.
Add LZO compression support for initramfs and old-style initrd
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels on x86
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels for ARM
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels
LZO compression is not as efficient but should be faster than the default compression (gzip), which should improve boot time. See: http://free-electrons.com/blog/lzo-kernel-compression/.

Why are you working on Froyo and not on Gigerbread?
Why I'm still working on Froyo
unknhawk said:
Why are you working on Froyo and not on Gigerbread?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As this is basically a research project (for both me and the community), the primary reason I'm still "working" on Froyo is that most U8150s are still running Froyo. It's an incredibly popular phone in Kenya (maybe 250,000 - 500,000 units sold?), but I have a hunch very few of them are running non-stock ROMs. Sure, CyanogenMod 7 has a fairly-active U8150 port in progress, but it's not widely used yet.
Like I said, this is primarily a research project, so I'm experimenting for my own curiosity. A part of that is to help people get into Linux kernel, Android, and open-source software development. I want to help set an example of openness, collaboration, documentation, etc.
Also, a lot of the mods I'm making can just as well apply to Gingerbread when we finally get there.
Custom kernel booting on U8150 CM7

Fun times... I just got a custom kernel to boot on CM7. It's nowhere near as usable as tilal's kernel, but it is a good exercise. More info here on my blog.
I suppose that whenever I get bored enough with Froyo I could always hop over to CM7. AOSP is where my heart is anyways.
v56 (20110827)
Changes (from the git commit history):
Add su, Superuser.apk, and busybox. This kernel/boot.img will now actively root Huawei stock ROMs.
Remove pre-zipped ramdisks as they are now generated on the fly from the compile scripts.
Correct the name of the compressed ramdisk (mkbootfs technically creates a cpio archive, which I then zip).
Make sure `make clean` doesn't delete our pre-compiled wireless module.
Add mkbootfs for creating ramdisks, and update compile.sh to create ramdisks on the fly instead of using a pre-zipped one.
Add ramdisk from U8150 V100R001C18B842
The build system is now a little more flexible and generates ramdisks on the fly. This should make it more powerful and complete. I've also included su, Superuser.apk, and busybox to enable a very cool new feature: rooting! If you haven't forked or cloned my kernel repository yet, what are you waiting for?
Regarding "rooting," forget what you've heard (it's probably wrong). Here's what it actually means:
Copying the su binary to /system/bin/su
Copying the Superuser.apk application to Superuser.apk
Period. What this means is that Android applications can call on the su binary whenever they want to do perform system administration actions (ie, not normal user actions), such as removing system applications with Titanium Backup. The Superuser.apk application is simply a frontend for su; whenever an application tries to execute su, a Superuser dialog pops up asking you to allow or deny the request. This notion, known as "privilege separation," is a common one in all operating systems.

v83 (20110903)
Changes (from the git commit history):
sched: export nr_running symbol for use by smartassV2 CPU governor.
config: sync with latest config
sched_fair: Restore less extereme latency values (latency of 6ms)
sched: enable HRTICK
sched_fair: Enable HRTICK
cpufreq: add smartassV2 governor
Switch busybox, older version (1.18.4) but slimmer, more appropriate for our needs (from https://faramir.eriador.org/r/).
Minimum frequency to 122MHz at boot, as well as smartassV2 governor.
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Cleanup after installation of su stuff. We're on a ramdisk after all, we need to conserve memory.
Change location of root stuff so it isn't in the $PATH
Add Simple I/O Scheduler
Add V(R) i/o scheduler
Update to latest Linaro GCC 4.6 compiler.
Two major changes are the addition of the simpleio IO scheduler and the smartassV2 CPU governor. The simpleio scheduler is based on/around the noop and deadline schedulers, designed specifically with non-rotating media in mind (flash disks, hello!). The smartassv2 CPU governor controls how your CPU switches between frequencies (from 122MHz at idle to 672MHz when in use). I haven't done any benchmarks, but these should improve responsiveness and battery life (in theory at least!).
Other than that, the latest Linaro GCC 4.6 compiler, some small optimizations to ARM-specific functions, and ramdisk/boot cleanups. If you're curious about smartassV2 there's more info here, on erasmux's github page here.

cm7 nightly bugged one ?????? i dnt like it iz there iz n e fixed cm7 for ideos ????
btw your kernel doesnt works with cm7 and can u please make a kernel for samsung galaxy gio with smartass v2 ??
Aorth, I tried flashing you kernal, and unfortunately there is one error when flashing with the latest CM7.1. After the flash, the phone will be stuck at the boot screen. I was wondering if you can get this fixed, that'll be great
This kernel is meant for stock ROMs

Yeah, this kernel was really meant for Froyo stock ROMs. It won't work on CyanogenMod builds because the ramdisk's init scripts are not compatible.
My U8160 kernel repo has a kernel which works on CM7... but you'll have to compile it yourself
nice kernel ........... working fine on ideos u8150-B .... I flash it with stock rom ................. battry becomes efficient ...
Good Job!
Hello aorth,
I'm now using the LEANdroidMOD 5 based on your kernel and I have to say the name NOMA suits it to a tee. It's my default ROM now when I'm not testing your or tilal6991's builds. Thanks and you have yourself a happy holiday season!
hello,
will there be any update of your noma kernel? this is my fav because all roms out there eat my battery like mad, so i just use your kernel and i'm happy with it
greetings
oh man please update, this is one nice kernel!
CM7 u8150 april 5th
IS this already built in to your CM7 last updated april 5th rom or is that a diffrent kernel? which one is better? would it be hard to install it on that rom? whats the advantages over the built in cm7 rom? Thanks sounds awsome anything to make that baby faster is great. Good work
SU Binary Outdated notification
flasehd v83 on the stock 2.2.1 kenya 1 mutli touch rom all went good but whenever i restart the phone su binary shows the notifications bout su binary being outdated which i updated , i did it multiplie times but it comes up everytime the phone is rebooted , other than that su binary working ok ,
dont know how to fix it , other than that the phone is working so responsive , enjoying it
when i flashed the kernel , the phone was already rooted
cheeeeeeeeeeers
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.

Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.52
Removed all third party governors
Removed BFQ, VR and CFQ schedulers
Tweaked SIO for better performance on Android
All modules built-in, except the one for WiFi Calling (kineto-gan.ko - optional)

Updated BFQ code to v5 (10x to Andromadus repo)
2WCR now makes recording in WAV format (10x to Andromadus repo)
BCMDHD wireless driver is updated to the latest HTC One V source - there are some changes related to the Country Codes, so please anyone that has such issues to try it without WiFi FIx app and report
Initialization of the wireless modules moved to ramdisk, no need of init.d script to run them anymore, so new users can skip that part and go straight to flashing!
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 VDD sysfs interface (10x to lowveld) for userspace UV control (comes with Stock Voltages by default)
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

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)

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

Installed on Nik Project, any issues with buttons backlight? It seems like they are always on
Nope,it works well to me

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
Nik 4.1, Atuntu - 3527
No prob with S2W. Auto brightenss is off.
Thx Stefan.

I am not a big fan of benchmarking. But tried just out of curiosity.

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

wifi not working after flashed this oc file.....why?
is there a script for android such as this one : https://wiki.debian.org/ZRam that would integrate Zram in kernels that don't have it enabled by default ?

About AnyKernel:
AnyKernel is a template for an update.zip that can apply any kernel to any ROM, regardless of ramdisk. -Koush
The concept of AnyKernel has been around for awhile, (originally by Koushik Dutta/ClockworkMod,) which allowed a device-specific kernel zImage to be flashed over device-specific ROM and use the ramdisk that came with the ROM to reduce the chance of any issues arising from the custom kernel pairing.
