i've been running this firmware with Wbaw`s Kernel and gpu and beats audio libraries. I'm having some issue with Wifi.

basically, somtime if i turn off wifi, its stuck in "tuning wifi off" state, so i cannot use wifi unless i reboot. I'm trying to find exact scenario where and why this is happening.

Do you guys need any specific dumps/files for debugging?

+1 same problem

Thanks for the new kernel!Im using it on t0mm13b's AOSP Gingerbread rom and it works great!The slight lag in the ui seems to be gone (i was using your earlier kernel so all comments are made in comparison to that). I am facing a problem with the wifi since im using aosp gb it cant be the rom and it worked fine before installing the kernel. What happens is that whenever the screen turns off(my wifi sleep policy is set to never) the wifi gets disconnected and then when i turn the screen on the wifi tries to connect but it cant it just shows scanning and when i manually try and connect to the router nothing happens!I have to turn the wifi off and then turn it on again to get it to work.I also had a settings fc after which the same problem with the wifi happened..

Edit: Ive also had two Sleep of deaths one before the logcat and i just had another one now..

This kernel is for CM7. The ramdisk contains init files for cm7. You'll need to fix your own ramdisk / ask t0mm13b, this is a CM7 thread.

But in the thread t0mm13b said hes using cm7s device/zte/blade tree in this and that all kernels compiled for the rom must be vmsplit3g isnt that enough for the kernel to work?Sorry for writing this in the cm7 thread..thanks

This is a boot.img, it contains the cm7 init ramdisk. You'd need to split ramdisks & mess about. The kernel itself should work, it's just the init scripts included with it are for CM7.

That's exactly what xyz`1 said. Its called a. Sleep of Death

I just got it too, for the first time. I hardly even changed anything from the version I've been running fine on my phone for weeks too... no idea what's causing it.

Wifi seems a bit screwed too, randomly.

I expected to screw it up sooner or later with the number of patches I was adding, expected it to happen sooner really - it was just experimental to test out some patches that could eventually be added to CyanogenMod.

I'll do another version based on Tom G's & add a few patches from my old kernel to it (undervolting, gpu write-combining, updated ondemand cpufreq governor, no fsync, etc). I started work on it this morning just after I compiled mine.

It's not ready yet, but you can watch my progress here: https://github.com/John-Kenney/kernel_zte_blade/commits/2.6.35

Well, I fixed 2/3 of the bugs. Still can't disable wifi, but wifi stays on now (that was the old wifi driver i tried) & sleep of death (maybe wifi driver too, or a couple of small patches i reverted) should be fixed too... so this is my fixed up kernel.

http://depositfiles.com/files/eitt18vok

source code - https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35

Features over standard cm7 are: undervolting for wifi & cpu, fsync disabled, updated ondemand cpu governor with more responsive settings, a few other optimisations, new zte camera libs, everything that was in burstlam's kernel, cache on tmpfs & the can't disable wifi bug.

    New kernel, cm7 gen2 only again. This needs testing, lots of updates since yesterday. New wifi driver included too.

    Download: http://depositfiles.com/files/4rgcrjy2a
    MD5: 33db29965ea4854f8d8cce0dc60b3817

    Source code available on my github here: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/

    It's been updated with the latest zte source code released yesterday. Plus a bunch of bluetooth patches (seems to be little effect), more overclocking, updated wifi driver & a few other minor updates... full list is here: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/commits/master

    It particularly needs testing if you have a new blade & any hardware doesn't usually work properly in cm7 (camera, touchscreen, sensors).

    Thanks for the info, where can we get this kernel?

    Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!

    You can get Burstlam's kernel from his github here: https://github.com/burstlam/zte-turies-35

    Or I forked his kernel & added some more patches, like updating the ondemand cpu governor, a few small performance improvements, a lot of networking patches that don't really do much & some other not very interesting stuff, mine is here: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35

    Tom Giordano maintains the CM7 blade kernel, his version is here: https://github.com/TomGiordano/kernel_zte_blade

    Burstlam & Tom G's kernel were developed separately using the same zte source code & then adding different patches, although they share a lot of patches. Burstlam has added a few more performance related & memory saving patches because his roms are developed mainly for Chinese users who have 256mb ram blades. Tom G seems more cautious about adding patches unless they're really necessary for something. I just add everything I can on top of Burstlam's kernel to see what works.

    [] AL []: You're probably better of with burstlam's kernel than sej's, burstlam is using undervolting too & he's added a lot of fairly useful patches that wont get accepted in Tom's cm7 kernel (which sej's is based on).
