2.6.37.4 Kernels?

I was wondering if any of the kernels in the development section are re-based when a new Linux kernel comes out?
I've noticed that in all the HTC Forums that kernel threads will list what version of the Linux kernel they were based on but not here in the Nexus S forums. Why not?
What kernel version does it say on your Settings->About Phone screen?

Uh.. the threads here do mention them. Not sure about all of them but Netarchy does
- Kernel base 2.6.35.11 (as of 1.2.3)

And honestly.. I can really care less about the kernel base numbers. They're just numbers, I care about performance and speed.

The newest kernal has the best speed (2.6.38)

And where's the source of that "kernal" (it's kernel) proving that its the best speed on the Nexus S? I'm not saying a kernel for another device because thats irrelevant. That's like saying Windows 7 SP1 is faster than Windows 7 SP0 on two different machines with different specifications.

Thank you very much for letting me know your kernel version. I checked that thread and I did find it listed. I'm just trying to understand why the Nexus S doesn't have their kernels based on the latest Linux version when the HTC phones seem to.
But there not just numbers it's improvements to the base code. That can improve performance among other things.

2.6.38 hasn't made it to an android phone as far as I know.
Here is why he is say it's the best speed. It has a big change that should improve performance across the board.

Here are the kernels I saw on the first 4 pages of development.
Honity - No mention in main post
Voodoo kernel from Supercurio - No mention in main post
Netarchy - 2.6.35.11
Trinity - No mention in main post
I don't own an Nexus S so I can't look for myself. I just wonder why there is no mention. When I see the kernel version tracked by other phones.
Here are some examples from other forums.
[Kernel] [.37.4] intersectRaven's Kernel
[KERNEL][AOSP] - Savaged-Zen [2.6.37.4
[Kernel] LeeDrOiD v2.2.8
[Kernel] 2.6.32.33

Is the Nexus S locked on a specific kernel version?
Are the developers not re-basing the kernels?

Hmm interesting point, i too am curious

in nexus one i used intersecraven 6.37.x kernels, i dont think the nexus one was based on the 6.37 when it came out the first time it had 6.32 kernels

Well the Nexus S official kernel version is 2.6.35.7. It's easy to merge the minor patches, but a major version jump to to .38 would require a lot of manual fixing of the kernel source code.

Changing major bases would require a lot of porting work, as many of the drivers required by the nexus s are not in the standard kernel by default.
It will probably be done eventually.

Thank you for your reply. So just to confirm there are no technical limitations (lack of drivers/files/etc..) that prevent someone from re-basing their kernel versions for the Nexus S?

The only issues i had now is that i flash this kernel and i wasnt able to unlock my phone. think i might wanna reflash it again .
Edit:Still the same problem. I hope i'm not the only one here.

Welcome guys. I'll be testing this kernel as well im glad your deving for our device.

Hm interessting, really want to try but, can you tell us more ?
Is this kernel made for performance and it's OC ?
Or is it not OC by default and can give us better battery ? I really search a kernel for a good battery life : )

What version do I need for HTC Sensation?
Remember to give THANKS were THANKS is due.

Try to install this kernel on TripNMiUI Beta, get the bootloop

I'm sorry it would help if I would read a little more. I found right Kernel, flashing now.

Works fine on cm7 for me. Although battery drain seems high, will report back after a full charge discharge cycle.

Thanks, no Problems so far, but low benchmark results.

using what benchmark app? quadrant is laughably useless on these device. seriously, run it several times in a row -- your scores will vary wildly. That is the definition of unreliable. The app may as well be a random number generator at this point. Also, it never bothers to use the second core.

It's tested on CM7. The MIUI ROMs at this point (and really a shocking number of other 'AOSP' ROMs) are drawing far too heavily on Sense to work well with this kernel (or the kernel packed in CM7 for that matter).

[Q] Kernel in AOKP

Hi everyone,I have a sensation xe.
I flash the Bricked's kernel, because the sweep2wake is very cool.But after i flash the kernels into AOKP, everything goes well expect the wifi.I also try RCMix's kernel, and faux's kernel, but same the result.
How could i use the phone without wifi!
I need to flash a kernel for AOKP with a feature like sweep2wake, and the wifi should be work.Can someone help me?
English is not very well, but i try my best to write these

I believe Faux has an AOSP kernel. The ones you tried are Sense based, which is the problem.

I know Faux put Sweep2Wake in his Sense versions. I am spoiled with it as well, you might shoot him a message or post in the thread and ask if a future release for AOSP will have Sweep2Wake.

suggestion, I'm on aokp since build 32...don't use custom kernels, is better with the stock one...more stable...I use it at 1ghz and is ****in' great! no lags at all, even gaming
there is no sweep2wake kernel for aosp at the moment, just wait

Seb, This is for your coffee - Confirmation number: 8V5036601K423861T

i'm glad to see you share the 3.4.10 kernel source
what a fantastic work for our sensation
but after i flash vipers there is still reboot
so i think it's kernel related issue
i upload some last_kmsg in ViperS thread
here are these address:

I believe in the Revelation thread Sebastian said he was working on something better.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

i feel to your hard work. Thanks SebastianFM.

Should we flash this kernel in revelation to get auto focus back?

Bardzo dziękuję Sebastian!
I beg everyone to actually browse the commits on Sebastian's github. You will plainly see why this was a painstaking process to complete. He starting loading all the commits a few hours ago and completed them in a very timely manner. Each and every commit (31 in total) is well separated and easy to follow.
I know pressure was put on by other "kernel devs", but they had the option of porting this themselves from the start. Only one person (SebastianFM) actually stepped to the plate and made it happen. I would encourage all users of this kernel, and every kernel that will soon be based off of this, to show the utmost gratitude for the efforts put forth here.

That`s Pretty amazing to have Real Jelly Bean`s Kernel for our lovely Device " Sensation "....
Such a progress turns our sensation to an updated PHONE with most common and well known features that is included in modern smart phones Nowadays
to have a device with real jelly bean kernel and OTG without power supply connector and that would be great to have sense based MIUI V5 and semi official 4.1 ROM
Though keep going SebastianFM

sorry im newbie, is this only for devs? because i didnt see any link to download this kernel, or maybe this thread is made for people who understand about it?

If you can't overclock, then it means that franco didn't include that option in >r20.
Anyways, why would you want to overclock a 2.2 GHz quad core?
