[ROM] CM7.1-final, Deodexed, 2.6.35 kernel

maxq1 · Oct 15, 2011

Putting this up for those who've been inquiring...I simply integrated bits & pieces for the legend to improve what is already an awesome rom. I take no credit for this. Doesn't hurt to hit the thanks button though if this helps

.

How's this different from CM7?

2.6.35 kernel (boots by default to 768/256-interactive; max=806, min=120)
smartass & smartass2 governors
compache/swap
deodexed & zip-aligned
tweaks for deodexed rom and sd read-ahead (3072 by default)
removed rom manager & some default themes/wallpapers
moved file manager to /data/app
modified lock screen icons
flying-in menu animations
TGF's notification bar (notbar) patch integrated

What doesn't work/untested?

wifi tethering - activating them produces an error & breaks wife, in which case, a reboot is required

gps

Is this faster than CM?
can't claim that as i don't see a big jump in quad/linpack scores, though there are improvements & it does feel snappier (I may be biased though). you decide...

full rom here: DOWNLOAD
flash attached:
drowningkernel-8-9-1_mod1.zip
kernel w/ the last three items above included for flashing unto cm7
drowningkernel-8-9-1_mod.zip
just the kernel

CAUTION

do backup before doing anything
see alex' comments, post #9
if you encounter reboots/freeze (not getting this myself though) & wanna revert to your original/stock kernel, simply advance restore boot only
usual liability disclaimer applies

feedback is/are most welcome! if you have questions on TGF's notbar patch, please post on that thread instead.

Yeah

digitizer is defective...it seems like it happens this after a while (1 year or so). I saw alot of people complaining about this also movies on YouTube showing the issue. I'l send it in service next week I hope

The drowningkernel-8-9-1_mod.zip works fine with CM7.1.0 for me. THX a lot!
I like your lockscreen-icons and the statusbar-patch, but not the flying-in-animation, so I flashed the non-modified one.

What governors do you prefer? I'm using interactive, but never had a smartass/smartass2 kernel on my phone. Does one of these two give me advantages over interactive?
Or can you give me some details about smartass/smartass2 Min-Max-values for the legend?

I have constant cpu usage of 50-75% with this rom :-(

you could learn more about it here. i'm using 806/122-smartass2. if you try to underclock below stock 245, it seems only the smartass governors give a quick response from sleep.

Just a small comment regarding kernel 2.6.35:

In my tests 2.6.35 was not significantly (or at all) faster than .32, neither could I observe improved battery life.

What actually held us back implementing .35 were the crappy WLAN and missing access point drivers. The sources HTC released are significantly broken - even for their original target "Espresso", and this is still a clear violation of the GPL (the sources they used to compile tiwlan_drv for Espresso/Legend are not at all equivalent to what they released).

That being said, if you don't care about WLAN at all you can use 2.6.35. I seriously wouldn't recommend that kernel though and would request you to add a warning to your post to make sure people don't start to complain about random reboots in CyanogenMod.

if you deodex rom ... take data space after install ... cm 7 179mb free data ... your rom ... ... less

Bad bad bad...

maxq1 · Oct 16, 2011

^ i couldn't quite get what you're saying, man. did it drop down to <100mb?!? i'm no expert or dev but is that an effect of deodexing? if any, i just moved file mananger (a couple of kb, i guess). in any case, most of you will be using some sort of apps/data..2..sd/ext anyway. kindly enlighten...

hmm..link works just fine from where i'm at..try again, bro

What he wants to say is that, if you deodex rom, there is more space used in system since instead of having apk+odex as separate files you put the odex inside the apk thus ocuppying more space. So for a deodexed ROM you have less space remaining.

Of course since most of us are using some sort of data2ext this is no big deal, I just wanted to "translate"

Huh ? This is a known issue caused by crappy Wifi drivers given by htc for Kernel .35 :

BTW Radio has nothing to do with wifi.

Edit : Plus my radio is up to date !
Edit Plus : I tried this rom (K.35) and official 7.1 Rom (K.32) and i found that the both kernels have the same issue, being on K32 or K35 is the same thing for me, i got the same random crashes, which was not the same thing on the old RC1 (which just sometimes crashes when you just power on wifi with sync enabled).
Too bad, Cyanogen 7.1 passed "stable" with this bug.

^ have you tried this, bro?
