Hey guys!!!
I know there are a lot of powerful guys among you, who can pack kernels that enables your DHDs to run stable at 1.5GHz! 1.5GHz!!!
Now we need your help! We people who have a HTC Incredible S need your help!!!
Most of the guys working on the Incredible S haven't got root or s-off yet, BUT in China, MOST of us have already got s-off when we buy our phones!!!
We s-off Incredible S owners need you to pack a kernel that can overclock!!! Even just to 1.2 GHz will do!!!
I know f***ing nothing about packing kernels, but I know that the Incredible S and the DHD have the same QSD8255 and 768 MB RAM!!!
So could anyone do us a favor please??? We'll be very very very very very grateful!!!
Thank you!!!!!
you need the source code from the Incredible S kernel. as long as HTC doesn't release the kernel source, there is no chance to compile your own kernel (you can try to port the kernel, but thats a huge effort).
Edit: just checked http://developer.htc.com/ and it seems that HTC has released the source code of the kernel. so it shouldn't be that hard to compile an OC able kernel

Hey guys I saw over in the cdma forum that they managed to overclock the hero. Is it possible to move that hack over to the GSM hero or no?
if your phone is rooted and running a 1.5 based rom you can overclock.
If your rooted and running a 2.1 based rom then at the moment you can't overclock but you can still underclock (as the Kernal overrides the ability to overclock)
Very cool find. I wonder too, if the hack can be ported to the GSM Hero. They both run very similar processors, after all.
It's very possible on 1.5, but for 2.1 we need the kernel sources.
So lenny your saying if I apply the kernel patch over a 1.5 rom it'll work? just like that? seems way too easy
If your running a rooted 1.5 rom then all you need to do is download overclock widget from the market.
It is that simple yes.

That doesn't overclock. You can just tell it to run full capacity.
edit: correct me if i'm wrong
Yes i belive your correct, we need to apply the patch to the 1.5 kernel source recompile sign and flash if I am correct
I'm going to try it.

Please report back, i'm very interrested
I'm gonna give it a go as well
To bad the official 2.1 release will come out soon. Still i'm so excited over this
when we get the kernel source for 2.1 it should work for that too, I would say
I thought the kernel level overclock for the hero turned out not to work?
If we are talking about the one that allegedly got to run at 660mhz?
they're putting out roms that run at 710 over in the cdma forum. there saying they can max it out to 750 ish though.

ive already started porting drivers from .29 to .27 for the gsm hero as i did for the cdma hero. ive been busy for a while now trying to get overclocking to work. now that me and phh have gotten the ugly part out of the way and its working. i can say for sure that it can easily be ported to the gsm hero. im finishing up rewriting it and cleaning it up now. but once im finished ill try and get back on porting .29 drivers to .27 for the gsm hero. so far i have all but camera working on the cdma hero in eclair with .27. i know no camera is a big drag down. but hey its better then hardly anything with .27
Hey, thats great news I've been tryin..... but I'm an old winmo guy and this android stuff is all quite new to me. Thanks for your hard work!!

!!! will be waiting eagerly for your work!! any seperate thread we should be looking/subscribing at?
Can anybody compile a kernel patch to overclock the htc hero on 1.5?
Guys,
Since I am a noob, I am not allowed to post in the developer forum. I have searched on this all over the XDA-Developer forum and Google/Bing and cannot find out what the different HTC kernel source code versions mean. When I open up the kernel source, it has the generic Linux READMEs in them.
This is what HTC has listed on htcdev.com:
HTC Desire Z – GB MR – 2.6.35 kernel source code 89.6 MB
HTC Desire Z – Froyo QMR – 2.6.32 kernel source code 82.8 MB
HTC Desire Z – Froyo – 2.6.32 kernel source code 82.8 MB
What is the MR and QMR. More importantly, I am trying to make my own ICS realease for this hand set and have plenty of Linux Kernel experience.
I just want to know which kernel to pursue as I have an underpowered system and the compile times are going to be horrendous for the ICS build. I don't want to spend the time building the kernel and trying to tweek it, and then trying to incorporate the ICS build with a bad kernel.
Thank you for your assistance.
*****Edit*****
GB means ginger bread, not Great Britain. I thought it was referring to the UK release. The other acronyms, I cannot figure out.
Good job posting this here. It belongs in this forum anyway, not in the developer section.

Am I the only one!?
No one!?
I just sent an email to HTC to ask them for clarification on the matter.

Hi,
My name is XX and I see that HTC has release the source code to multiple Linux/Android kernels for my device (HTC Vision/Desire Z). unfortunately it looks like HTC will not be bringing the newest flavor of Android to this handset with any carrier so I am looking to build Android 4.0.3 (ICS AOSP) to this device and would like to use one of the released kernel sources as a base part of the build. I am confused though on what the different versions stand for. I know that the 2.6.35 kernel IS the newest for my device.

This is their response.
Dear XX,
You were asking for some clarification concerning some information listed on the HTC Developer website for your HTC Desire Z. I would be more than happy to assist you with this software inquiry. You mention something about the MR or QMR listed with several of the kernel source code downloads. I know that the MR stands for maintenance release that is listed with the Gingerbread upgrade. The QMR might be for one of the updates for Android version 2.2 (Froyo).
If you want to use the most up to date kernel source code, I would base my recommendation on the current ROM and kernel versions you have on your Android device. If you have any other questions, you might check some of the additional resource information available on the HTC Developer website.
If you need any further assistance, you are welcome to send another inquiry through the HTC website by going through the Support page then tapping ‘send us an email’. You should input all the necessary information requested on the page.
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

I have ThunderSense v1, and I would like to know if there are any kernels that I can put on my HTC DESIRE CDMA to be able to undervolt using SetCPU. It is Sense 2.2 by the way.Thanks.

Set CPU Doesn't undervolt. It underclocks (Which in turn, lowers voltage).
Have a read here:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...-bfs-axi-uvoc-published-20th-july-2011-a.html
well, still. is there a undervolted kernel that i can get?
Yes. All of them.
Did you see the "Everything desire is here thread"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12350779&postcount=3
Thanks man. but i have ONE more question.. Will any of the sense kernels work on a CDMA? cause i know that alot of work done is just for GSM. I dont want to mess up my rom, i know i can do a nandroid. but still... lol
edit: This is a Froyo Sense Rom, and every kernel that i see on there, is for GingerSense... ):
Thats a very good question, which unfortunately I do not know. I have no experience of CDMA devices. Possibly not actually
Alright bro, thanks anyways.
I think the issue is that decent kernel source wasn't available for the not so widely used CDMA.
From what I can tell, many Sense Kernels will work, but its the radio that is an issue, more explicitly, WiFi breaks...
Yup, the kernel source is actually the same. The compiled binary that most people release has bravoc disabled in some drivers (for making the kernel marginally smaller in size, like the wifi driver you mentioned). In almost every source file, there are if blocks to check whether the device is bravo/bravoc/passion.

In which case, do you know of any where bravoc has not been commented out? Have yours?
I dont know alot about sense kernels.
I assume Like AOSP, froyo and GB require different kernels. But how about GB ACES port v Runnymede? Can they use the same kernels?

I haven't enabled the bravoc drivers either while compiling, though it's easy enough to enable it while building. Yup, my GB kernel's being used in a couple of the runny Ports and seems to work well. Don't know about Ace, but I believe the same kernel ought to work on it.
Hey guys, @brymaster5000 and I have been trying to get Sense 5.0 to boot on our good ol' Droid Incredible 2. So far, he has taken @szezso's kernel source for the Incredible S, and edited to work for our device. However, whenever we tried to get it to boot, the phone never went past the HTC splash screen. That's why we need help, if anyone has experience porting Sense, we need your help. Right now there is NO ETA. We're thinking that the problem is the ramdisk right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Here's brymaster's kernel https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4l3cqenx3hcfbf/Inc2Sense5boot.zip
Right now we don't have a rom because nothing has worked so far.
Working so far
-Nothing, except maybe the ion kernel
Needs work
-Everything, we need it to boot
Possible helpers:
@gilbert32, @doga.ozkaraca, @doga.ozkaraca, @coloured_chalk, @TheRinseM, @szezso @SebastianFM, @Shaky156, @aazzam16661, @nitsuj17, @chillybean

Nobody has the guts to develop a new kernel for the latest firmware, 4.4.2 KitKat?!! This phone needs a stable kernel to achieve its potential. If you are working at something, please post here your work and are a few people happy to help with testing. Come on, guys, make a better kernel!

Please, tell me where did you saw the kernel source code for Android 4.4.2 because I want to download ...
I didn't... But I know a guy (Franco) that a few years ago made a kernel for LG Optimus One without the source. The best kernel I ever installed! And that little LG O1 run better then that a lot of smartphones today.

Hi, yes you're right, you can make a kernel without it's source, but its nearly impossible on a device with so many closed-source-drivers usw. . Also you need to know very much about the way our phone works, many details usw.
I would simply say, noone can Reverse Engineer the P6-Kernel, and those who can will not do this for a decive with such a little community
EDIT:
The only possibility to create a working kernel would to try porting a kernel from the P7-Sources
But anyone ask nicelly for that source code?
