[DEV] Hero 2.6.29 kernel source [UPDATED WITH INFO BEN#23]

Hi guys,
After some work on the kernel I've managed to solve the issues with the device becoming barely usable because it drops in speed.
UPDATE 2: OC fully working up to 710Mhz. Check my last commit for more info. DO NOT MAX OUT THE CPU SPEED, WILL FREEZE UR PHONE
zImage and wlan.ko for those who want to repack their own boot.img and try it out:
zImage #23
wlan.ko #23
Update.zip's:
For BeHero+ 1.2
For Legendary 1.3.5
What I've done so far to the kernel:
OC up to 710Mhz Use OverclockWidget NOT SetCPU
Swap notify support for Compcache with Ramzswap
Ext4 support
Ext4 in ext3/ext2 support
Cramfs support
Squashfs support
Cifs
..... more to come, Toastcfh will provide me with a working OC patch hopefully whenever he has time same goes with BFS backport
Keep this thread only for developing and testing!

This is CDMA kernel with settings for GSM hero ?

wow, how did you guys manage that? based on the github name I'm guessing this is based on the cdma source, how did you guys make them compatible with the gsm hero?

Re: [DEV] Kernel .29 source
These are real, you know your our hero.
Nobody can argue with you.
Thank you
Hopefully this will stop the arguments and push development forward.
Love you all

Re: [DEV] Kernel .29 source
I hope you don't mind a non-developer jumping in.
Just wanted to give big props for making this available to other devs,... no messing,... no piss arsing about.
Definitely an excellent example of community spirit.

Don't start further arguments, don't post if you have nothing of value to say. Until you release your so-called kernel sources, you'll have no way to prove that.

Jezus man. I am really unwanted in this forum. I am stating this is not the kernel sources where I build my rom on. The one I am using is goldfish sources with a few patches from me.

It has happened before on XDA, lets not put off a talented dev so early into his rom dev career!

so you broke into htc's server to steal the sdk emulator kernel source?

i agree...
Feeyo created a good stable and fast 2.1 rom and for that he is being treated as some kind of criminal (?!?!)

For people who dont understand, he's saying that he hacked into HTC and stole the source code. So basically he claims to have hacked into an offline network and then multiple encrypted servers and downloaded the source code.
Look, just stfo from now on and stop bullshitting.
HTC screwed up, they accidentally uploaded a tarball with ALL devices kernel sources, when they uploaded the legend kernel source the first time and
some guys managed to download before it was removed.

[CM7][NIGHTLYS]Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 nightlys/kernels

Here's a test cm7 kernel I fixed a few bugs that smartass2 gave me so I will be posting the test kernels that I make here plus the nightly builds will be posted here to keep the cm7 thread spam free etc.
Credits: Alquez, Cyanogenmod, DrowningChild
NOTE: These kernels and nightlys are based on alquez sources he has gave me permission to make the nightlys while he is doing exams and keeping himself in his missus good books
Nightlys:
Nightly's
Flash this kernel after flashing latest nightly for some reason it didnt go into the update.zip package

Thx just what I needed. I'll test the kernel and keep you updated on how it goes
Marvel Custom

Is there a changelog available somewhere?
Btw, I too noticed one small issue with smartass2. Maybe it's the same as the one you found?
When playing music, I noticed a fair amount of skipping when the screen switches off. I initially thought it was the player, the dsp manager, etc. Finally, I came to the conclusion that the governor was the issue. Using CPUSpy, I found smartass2 scaled the cpu to 320MHz when playing music with the screen off. When I changed the minimum CPU speed to 400MHz, the skipping went away.
Was this the issue that you noticed or is this isolated to my phone?
Edit: Will try out your kernel and see if that issue persists. And test the kernel
Flashed the kernel. Doesn't seem to fix this particular issue. If you could somehow implement a fix for this particular issue, it woulde be great!
Will continue testing and let you know how it goes.
Just reporting, one thing I noticed is that 3 of my apps were broken after flashing the new kernel but reinstalling them brought them back to the original state.

new test kernel will be up soon i updated the cpu govenors and add a few more for users to test to see what should stay and what should be removed

quick q: will nightlys be available through rom manager update?

Accelerometer
Hi! Im testing your kernel right now, will post results later.
I have a slightly offtopic question but it's a kernel question.
I have myself a T-mobile Wildfire S wich uses a different hardware form the European Version, the only problem with it is that the accelrometer doesn't work with custom Roms (I've red Alquez said it's a kernel problem).
I wanted to ask you for any tips to star fixing it, I have programming and linux experience but I wouldn't know where to start. Any ideas?
Thanks again, keep up the good work!

does this works with any ROM or only with cm7 rom?

no problem i will download the stock kernel during the week to compile one with the goveners etc for stock roms

test 2 kernel will be uploaded soon once the cpu is more resonsive i will start the nightly compiling

Will it include the qualcomm hw3d acceleration enabled? In that case, is the change noticeable? Does it accelerates only 3d or also 2d, video?
Also, do you recommend using a swap partition?

yes it includes the qualcomm hw3d acceleration

[Q] Can we do dual boot?

It is just fascinating to try out arco's new CM9 rom.
However, as the camera is still non-functional, I am aching whether to choose between blacknote or CM9...
But can I take both? Like what they do with boot manager...

Interesting.. it can be done but I wonder if there is a Modding for this...
Sent From My Ancora ICS CM9

I found this mod for Defy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522329

Well...
It is said on the page of Boot Manager Pro that
"BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition."
Kinda crap -.-
Well, but the interesting thing is...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375550
found this when googling samsung dual boot
Can we just do the same thingy here?

that would be somethin if we manage to get our SGW to dual boot
like my acer aspire 1 netbook

I would be glad if I can test camera in CM9 while using ordinary camera in Gingerbread for daily operation.
Possible?

Any updates on this?

Dual Boot

I think this is a good suggestion

I think its related to the kernel, like siyah kernel on sgs2 or sgs3 it can perform dualbooting

For this time, nope. Maybe in future someone good at linux or kernel imaging deciding to using our phone and build a kernel hehe.
As far I can see now, there is not much kernel for us. In gb is cowithgun kernel based on arco work, and stock kernel. In cm7, oisis try to gave a hand. But in ics therevis only one kernel brought by arco

Thanks @andynroid , there are a lot of tutorials similar to this but the main part is device config for our device. Getting the device config is not easy and this is the main problem.

arco/cowitgun kernel is not a pure cm7 kernel, it requires most of the things from stock rom. it will not work for cm7 port/build.

Something to sleep on n not rush over and is something achievable....

It can work, I have port a cm7 rom some time ago with this kernel. But you a right it is not a pure kernel, but if you overlooked samsung have released the sources of gb kernel, cause of the gpl and arco have taking it into his github.
Btw I myself have done some minor working to get me a device folder for our galaxy w, which compiles okay for cm7 and aosp, but with out luck to get it started right. It stucks somewhere in an initialization.
If it had worked, I would have let you know right away.

Yeah, I also would like to have it. And I also played with AOSP, but I'm just a beginner in android development.
I would be glad if some experienced developer could assist and guide us.
Regarding the stop in the start process I have to do some deeper investigation or is here someone who could do it and examine the boot process?
