THIS KERNEL IS NOW OBSOLETE. CM7 Nightly 90+ and my Nexus 1.2.5+ require TRUE 2.6.35+ Kernel
All GB Sense ROMs should use my GB Sense Kernel
All Froyo AOSP ROMs should use my Froyo AOSP Kernel
All Froyo Sense ROMs should use my Froyo Sense Kernel[/b]
Hi XDA members and fellow MT4G users:
This is my SECOND kernel hack. I want to thank Gr8Gorilla, Erasmux, dumfuq and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON AOSP/CM7 Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH AOSP/CM7 Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
MinMax Governor (Battery Saver)
This governor will try to minimize the frequency jumps/changes which cause voltage spikes/changes which supposedly drains more battery life... Supposedly designed to work with SetCPU... so give it a whirl...
SmartAss Governor (Balanced)
This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Interactive Governor (Performance)
This governor is designed to put more priority to User Interface (UI aka Apps) tasks, therefore appears more responsive then the traditional OnDemand governor. So if you want the smoothest UI interaction, this governor is for you...
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.
Installation Instructions:
Here's a step by step instruction to install this kernel:
Warning Version 2.6.3+ is COMPATIBLE ONLY with Android 2.3.4 ROMs such as latest CM7 nightlies, MIUI, RoyalGinger.
All Android version 2.3.3 ROMs such as older versions of CM7 including RC1, RC2, RC3, CM 7.0.1~7.0.3 should use version 2.5.2!
[ FINAL VERSION ]
[ CFS-Smartass ] (Mainline)
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 CFS Low Voltage #162 <==
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 CFS Stock Voltage #163 <==
[ BFS-Interactive ] (Enthusiast Edition)
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 BFS Low Voltage #164 <==
The File ==> CM Kernel 2.6.6 BFS Stock Voltage #165 <==
Low Voltage - Under Volt the processor, therefore uses Less Battery, but NOT ALL CHIPS can handle Under Volt.. If you experience instability, try the Stock Voltage Version.
Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.
There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the 2 versions!
[Optional CFS kernel ONLY]
If this is first time you FLASH my kernel or you just recently FLASHED any ROM,
To use my CFS-Tweaks from version xxx, you must FLASH xxx first, then FLASH the latest version.
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...
NEWS BULLETIN:
Version 2.6.6 is OUT!!!!
This is most likely the FINAL VERSION for this kernel. CM7 is moving to a real 2.6.35+ kernel from very soon. Once that happens, this 2.6.32 kernel will be made obsolete!!!
Please don't hesitate to talk among yourselves and help each other out... The MT4G/XDA community is what inspired me to hack kernels for everyone since everyone here is nice and helpful to each other... Keep helping each other.... Famous proverb: It's better to give than to receive...
BUGS:
[ Android 2.3.4 ROM ]
If you experienced WiFi issue, it means the bcm4329.ko modules was NOT installed properly.
Extract the bcm4329.ko from the same zip file, then
[ with ADB ]
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
[ with Root Exploror ]
1. touch Mount R/W
2. copy bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules
3. long press on the bcm4329.ko and select Permissions then check read, write for owner, read for group and read for others, click ok
4. long press again on the bcm4329.ko and select Change Owner, then pick 0-root for owner and pick 0-root for group, click ok
I will investigate to see if I can fix the updater script so this would be done automatically with 2.3.4 ROMs
Not All CHIPS ARE CREATED EQUAL
[NOT REALLY A BUG, when OC'ed, everything is questionable]
Interactive and OnDemand Governors will freeze the phone when the delta / difference between the Max and Min frequency is too large..
Ie, Max 1843MHz~Min 245MHz -- will lock up, but Max 1840MHz and Min 1000MHz will NOT...
TO DO:
version 2.x.x -- Haven't thought about it yet...

Cool! I put lots of new technologies into this kernel from my Sense Kernels and I was afraid of it not working at all since I was unable to test it myself... I am happy that you guys like it. Please test the heck out of it and report any errors on my thread... now try your best to beat my Sense Kernel Users high scores in synthetic benchmarks..

What is T3?
T3 (Tytung – 3dak) Kernel, it's based on Tytung_R12.4 kernel source repository,
GIT repository Source url:
https://gitorious.org/~3dak/linux-on-wince-htc/t3-linux_on_wince_htc
it has two branches: master branch for CM/AOSP/MIUI build, it will keep existing hastarin r8.6 gpu driver, sense branch for HTC sense 3.x build.
All credits to Tytung, Hastarin, Makinus , every patch providers and contributors.
The target of this repository is tweaking/adding features/optimizing Linux Kernel for sense build(SD/MAG/Nand/cLK) and try to getting better speed and performance on sense build. I will optimize the kernel on schedulers,CPU, Memory Allocator, IO shceduler , cpu frequence and so on…
also will add a sense branch on current 3dak_Rx.x SD/MAG kernel for those bulid wanna boot SD ROM from both winmo and magldr
Worked new features based on tytung r12.4
-BFQ IO Scheduler as default(Faster than CFQ)
-SLQB Memory allocator as default (Faster than SLAB)
-LAZM to compress image to get smaller zImage , better than GZIP.
-migrated HTC official 2.6.35 bravo GPU driver for sense branch . Finished and worked fine and better perfermance on sense build per boxmax experiments.
...
Next plan:
GPU driver tweak
try better and suitable CPU scheduler. BFS? TinyRCU?...
Changes log:
Code:
T3 R3 Changes:
-GPU driver: fixed color banding issue . (Credits to marc1706)
-added CPUfreq governor:smartassV2, added TinyRCU
-Sense: revert old camera driver.
-disable 2WCRec to avoid speaker sizz issue.
T3 R2 Changes:
- Merged tytung r13 commits:Added Alsa sound driver.(Credits to Cotulla & Tytung ),HTC auto white balance calibration driver.
-Driver/Cpufreq: Add CPUFreq governor 'smartassV2'
-enbale 2WREC
-Sense branch: Camera driver updated to HTC official Bravo 2.6.35 camera driver.
T3 R1 : Initial release.
-It based on Tytung R12.4.(Credits to tytung ) with some new features.
-Added VR IO Scheduler.
-Added BFQ IO Scheduler as default.
-Added SLQB Memory Allocator asd default
-LZMA to compress image to get smaller zImage file.
-Sense branch:Use HTC official Bravo 2.6.35 GPU driver to replace hastrarin r8.6 GPU driver
P.S. Use this kernel at your risk.
here is latest R3 verison:
P.S. kernl pack is just kernel files for build cooker. it is not a CWM recovery zip.I'm lazy to create recovery zip. initrd.gz or boot.img in kernel pack is my initrd for miui build with data.img supported. maybe it is not suitable for your build. if you are ROM cooker, you know how to use it.
T3 R3 Master: cLK MAG
T3 R3 Sense: cLK MAG
[old versions]
T3 R2: cLK Mag
T3 R2 Sense: cLK Mag
T3 R1: cLK Mag
T3 R1 Sense: cLK Mag Only for sense build or no camera preview. and maybe your build needs this : correct lib/hw&egl files for sense buld.
Support
Good job.
My test results: camera basically no lag, there are few. Very great.
Thanks man for your continued efforts
Did you solve problem with graphical glitches in sense 3.0/3.5 roms?
This is really nice
What about 3G/Wifi switch ? Is it kernel related ?
Yes, but it seems to be EU user related
Hi,
If I understand correctly, I can test this with miui rom? Currently I am using the latest build of miui...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Woooo.. Great job will test on my SD Version .. feedback later
I hope this isn't a back port kernel. I don't want unneeded time to be wasted. Check out my post on the 2.6.35 kernel thread for the camera fix.
Good Thread!
Awesome Idea !!!
Great Work camecorder ... No Lag or Less ... i tested
also for 3dak T3 ... attach hw+egl+fix glitches + set in build.prop (debug.sf.hw=0)

Hello,
I am new to this forum (even if I have been reading it for a few months already/ I am myself a software developer) and I have some questions concerning the port of ICS to the Desire HD.
I am mainly concerned about our options to implement GPU HW acceleration. As far as I know, the Adreno 205 driver source code is not public.
- Do we need to wait a new release from Qualcomm ?
- Is there a possibility to do some reverse-engineering and possibly hack the current driver to make it work with ICS ?
- Can we use the current driver and 'modify/hack' ICS source code ?
- I suppose we can wait for an official driver for a different phone using the same GPU and 'hack' it to make it work on our device ?
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
The status is, that freexperia cm9 sneak preview hs hw acceleration enabled and the xperia has the same gpu as the dhd. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19777780&postcount=2013 )
But the problem is that their git tree has not been updated with the hw acceleration patches and therefor contains nothing of use to the dhd port. ( https://github.com/freexperia and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19777780&postcount=2013 ) There are currently several Posts in the freexperia thread urging them to update their git.
Also there is the following status on how and what to do about drivers: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10447-adreno200-source-code-userspace-driver/#entry54129
Thank you very much. A lot of devices use the MSM8255 snapdragon system so I guess as soon as one of them has HW acceleration working, it should be possible to implement it on the DHD too.
I cannot wait to know more about those patches for the xperia ARC
Kernel+ for AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs
This is a kernel that I have been compiling and using on my own device for a while, and I want to share this with the community. I enjoy the CM10.1 stock kernel, but I want to keep up to date with the newest Linux version and CodeAuroraForum source. I also want the most optimized experience possible, along with a few extra features. Kernel+ is always built with the latest Linux kernel and Qualcomm CAF sources to provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience. The source can be found on my GitHub here Enjoy .
What is this?
This is a kernel based off of CyanogenMod's 'cm-10.1' branch of the Galaxy S III kernel.
Kernel+ is built with the goals in mind:
To always be up to date with the latest source from CodeAuroraForum and Kernel.org
To optimize as much as possible for the smoothest user experience
To base closely off of the CM10.1 kernel for optimal stability, not features
To provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience for users
Features
Linux 3.4.54
always up to date with the latest source straight from Qualcomm's CodeAuroraForum
latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain compiled
CPU frequency from 384Mhz - 1.5Ghz
FauxSound App support
FRandom built-in
GPU overclocked to 480 Mhz default
custom voltage control
excellent battery life
optimized and stable
small kernel size
more coming soon...

Instructions for Installing
1. Download the kernel.
2. Copy it to your phone.
3. Flash with TWRP or CWM.
Note: Kernel+ is packaged with invisiblek's AnyKernel, meaning that it will unpack your current ramdisk and repack it with this kernel during the flashing process. This means that it will be compatible with any AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, even if they have different ramdisks. Also, please make sure that you are currently running a stock AOSP kernel (CM10.1, AOKP, SlimBean, etc) before flashing Kernel+ so that your ramdisk will be compatible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I disable GPU overclock?
By default, the GPU is allowed an extra 480 Mhz freq step, whereas stock only allowed up to 400 Mhz. If you feel that you do not need the extra GPU 3D power, then you can disable it by adding the line:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_pwrlevel
to the file /system/etc/init.d/98kernelplus. Then reboot.
How do I adjust the voltages?
You can control the CPU freq voltages by using an app such as Trickster, System Tuner, SetCPU, etc.
What is frandom? How do I enable it?
Frandom is basically a more efficient random generator. It can be used in place of /dev/urandom and is 10 - 50 times faster. Using frandom will use very little of the kernel's Entropy pool, which in turn will provide better performance and smoothness. Frandom is already built-in to the kernel and enabled via an init.d script. No need to manually enable it.

I just finished tweaking the MDP bandwidth parameters, and I think I have found the sweet spot. There is no more flickering at all. Just a few more things I *need to add and it will be ready for the next update, probably tomorrow*

Haha sorry, I don't know why tapatalk failed on me... I have added the second part of my reply.
Also, fauxsound has been merged, and I have added a 189Mhz CPU step with a lower voltage. I will be testing these tonight :laugh:

KLIN! So glad to see you dev'ing again!!!
+Cool story, bro!
+The "Thanks" button should be more versatile. So, the "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on.
Sorry guys, I got really busy today, so I wasn't able to release the update...
I'll try my best to find some time tomorrow to build and upload them.
thanks for variety of kernels

Donning a new name in favour of the new delicious version of Android... Welcome to the ThunderKat Project!!
Heavily based of my Flaming Monkey kernel configurations and the stock AOSP kernel source, here's my standalone kernel for the Nexus 10. I will maintain this independently.
It will always remain close to the AOSP exynos kernel for manta (Nexus 10) with a few useful tweaks and additions, but will not have any OC/UV, colour controls and any advanced customisation options. It is a stable kernel and will not have frequent updates.
This kernel uses the AnyKernel method and is ROM independent. I have tested this on 4.4 (Stock & AOSP) based ROMs.
Features:
1. Linux Kernel 3.4.39.
2. Based on AOSP KitKat MR1 kernel source for exynos/manta.
3. Built using the Google ARM GCC 4.8 toolchain with -O3 CFLAGS & AFLAGS optimisations & ARM Cortex A15 build optimisations.
4. Enabled Conservative & Powersave CPU frequency governors (in addition to Interactive, Performance & Userspace). Interactive set as default.
5. Preserve correct sysfs permissions on governor change.
6. KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging) support.
7. NTFS, F2FS, EXT4 xattr (extended attributes) support.
8. Networked file systems support (NFS V3, NFS V4 & CIFS).
9. HIDRAW support (supports non-conformant HID devices).
10. Support for more input devices (keyboards, mice & joysticks) including Logitech Unifying devices.
11. Support for USB serial modems (PPPOE).
12. Support for multi-card readers (multi-lun devices). This allows you to mount multiple cards using a multi-card reader. May need an app like StickMount. (Credit @nvertigo67)
13. Removed SWAP support.
14. Removed some un-needed debugging.
15. Increased thermal throttle limits
16. Scalable CPU frequencies
Changelog [2014/08/24]:
1. Built using Graphite optimized GCC4.8 toolchain
2. Added ROW & SIO I/O schedulers
3. Set ROW as default I/O scheduler
4. Upstream F2FS changes
5. Miscellaneous I/O improvements
Changelog [2014/06/05]:
1. Update to AOSP 4.4.3 kernel source (kitkat-mr2)
2. Added F2FS filesystem support
Changelog [2013/12/15]:
1. Update to AOSP 4.4.1/4.4.2 kernel source (kitkat-mr1)
Changelog [2013/11/21]:
1. Initial release
Information:
1. Flash using a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM).
2. This kernel is ROM independent and uses the AnyKernel method. Hence it uses the current ramdisk. You may have issues if this is flashed after a kernel with a custom ramdisk. If so, reflash your ROM and then flash this kernel.
3. Needs an unlocked bootloader.
4. Make sure you have at least 50% battery charge before flashing this.

Very cool! I will be trying this tomorrow, will have time to play with it. Nice to see KSM in it.
Nicely done. I'm running your kernel as we speak--snappy, snappy! No issues so far. :good:
Only thing left to do now is give it a catchy name like: "The CRAIGINATOR"
Wow, great news, thanks craig!

Thanks...and yes, I will be renaming my ROM and kernel to something more... well, appealing... when I restart the ROM project...
Once I'm at 50% I'll be all over this like a rash

Great job, runs great! Only issue is it defaults to cfq scheduler on boot even when I have it set to run deadline.
More of a preference than an issue.
This kernel is really good, I was very impressed by your previous Rom and look forward to the new Rom you said will be released later in the year (hopefully!). Your hard work is much appreciated. Using your kernel with Carbon Rom right now and it seems very stable.

this kernel works best on my N10. no reboot, no SOD and no battery drain.
my tablet is 10 days up without a single problem or recharge! :good:
i hope it will be continued in the future!
Yes, I will continue supporting this kernel... though there will not be many updates... the aim to to remain close to AOSP, yet provide some useful tweaks and additions... I will be building a newer version soon (having problems with the cross compiler on my work laptop, else I would have done it today)...
Hi!
Can I flash this kernel to the stock ROM?
And revert back when new android version comes out to OTA update?
Thank you

Yes, this will work fine on stock...and you can easily revert back using the boot.img from the factory images provided by Google...
Updated release in OP...
Does this have the latest wifi and or gpu drivers? I know wifi drivers are kernel level, not sure about the gpu though. Anyways, its a very nice and smooth kernel. It's been a baron wasteland in mantaland. I guess Google didn't sell many of these.
I just installed the kernel, very smooth, I was having shutdowns on Trinity latest and RootBox. Hopefully is not a ROM problem and this kernel fixes it, I really like RootBox.
Thanks for the awesome work and support.

I have yet to incorporate the updated wifi and gpu kernel level drivers... I will be working on these soon...
Anyone here with sufficient kernel knowledge to merge the updated mali graphics drivers (http://malideveloper.arm.com/develo...n-source-mali-t6xx-gpu-kernel-device-drivers/)... There are a few updates that are beyond my kernel & C/C++ capabilities... like osk has been replaced by kbase... Please PM me if you can help!! Thanks!
Great work on this kernel! First time reaching 9 hours on screen time. Paired with Mr Robinson AOKP.
