NEED TESTERS!!!

zKernel_20072011 with FreeX10-beta4 ramdisk (should work for most froyo roms) [please test and report back]

Screenshot:

Tested to be working on:

FreeX10-beta4
- no dhcp issues
- no other wifi issues

Additional Notes:

you should not need to use any wifi patches for this to work (atleast on FreeX10-beta4 it doesnt)
if u have previously used the wifi patch wifi_bt_fix-fxk_froyo_v01.1.zip please remove it using remove_fix_v01.1.zip and try using this test kernel
[optional] you might need to "wipe cache" & "wipe dalvik cache" via recovery, reboot and let the device for some time before u can try out things (wiping cache cause the first bootup to be VERY LONG, that is expected no need to get alarmed)

Using:

kernel => zKernel_20072011
ramdisk => FreeX10-beta4 (modded for Custom Kernel)
logo => troll face "U MAD?"

All credits go to:

zdzihu (kernel)
zdzihu (ramdisk)
me (slightly modifying ramdisk for making it compatible with Custom Kernel) [splicing these two together ]
aZuZu (working hard to get the custom kernel boot tools ready )
u guys for testing these thing we cook-up

I WANT U GUYS TO TEST IT ON THE ROMS U CURRENTLY USE

can u please test if HD recording works?

PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP OF UR CURRENT WORKING ROM BEFORE TESTING THIS!!

THANK YOU!

interactive governor..isn't working on my freex10 beta4...even tried installing it brand spankin new...still won't work. cpu frequency gets stuck on one specific speed and never changes.

in hw_config.sh there are lines

# zdzihu: cpufreq fix
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 90 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
echo 30 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/down_differential
echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

maybe something has to do with that...please help

Guess il write about my initial thoughts..

Froyo 2.2.1
ZKernel 20.07.2011
FreeX10-beta 4 (my own theme based upon this)

SO FAR....
-seems to bootup fine..
-smooth and fast!
-battery seems to be going ok..
-setcpu 19mhz - 384mhz ondemand whilst screen off tested.. seems fine when screens turned on again!
-seems to be sleeping pretty well
-wifi working fine

-tried HD Recording.. infinity mode was alright however there were times where the audio seem to be abit behind compared to the video.. tried playing via gallery, vitalplayer and my laptop just to be sure. just tried continuous mode and that did seem to do a better recording, very very little lag whenever it did occur, although u hear that focus sort of sound quite often. Also on both i realised here and there whilst recording a video clip the way the light would dim then brighten or vice versa. could just be my luck!

-also had an occasion when i started this kernel first time. whilst loading facebook profile on dolphin browser.. black screen came up, then the lock screen pretty much followed few seconds after that. did end up reverting to normal ondemand mode on setcpu rather than interactive. not sure if it was cause of that but so far nothings gone wrong on these settings just yet!

if anyone wants to know some more just ask! but in the meantime dont take my word for it yet as it is just an initial test. i normally prefer to test properly when battery is charged. so il try update it soon as.. quite busy at work though!

I had cpu spy on and when I started with this kernel, It was on interactive mode.. mine showed many frequencies being used so its prob to do with something else..

this kernel won't even install on a clean stock firmware after updating with seus...causes xrecovery to break and just doesn't work...all the files are installed...bootkit, boot.img...wifi module chargemon charger..just won't boot up. getting really frustrating now...

won't work on clean seus firmware...
will work without interactive governor on clean freex10 beta4

Running FreeXperia Achotjan ARC 2.2.3 V6. Smooth. No FC's. Everything working so far. Quadrant hit 1441 which for me is a record

Still a little laggy but I've only been using it for 15mins.
Using Interactive governor. Set min 19200 max 1113600 on boot and have manually rebooted twice without issue.

azrull · Jul 21, 2011

is this work with achotjan v06?

Same for me i think... it seems to be working if I set Interactive via CPU spy. I've allowed it to use the full range too, so let's see if I get any overclock related problems!

zdzihu · Jul 21, 2011

Hi guys,

I already advised in the kernel thread that you need to remove these lines:

Code:

# zdzihu: cpufreq fix
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 90 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
echo 30 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/down_differential
echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

(from hw_config.sh) to be able to use interactive governor just fine.

Cheers,
z

hey bharadwaj, the kernels (boot.img) files posted in this thread WONT WORK ON STOCK SE 2.1 FW...

if u want them to work on FreeX10 then just do the following:

be on FreeX10 rom
read this: How-To for testing custom kernel
after u flash the bootkit files reboot into recovery
[optional] wipe cache/dalvik-cache
flash the boot.img & wifi module provided in this thread for that specific kernel (froyo version)
flash chargemon_FXRec_default_CUSTOM.zip file (provided in the link above)[only if u have changed to freexperia recovery]
reboot phone
enjoy custom kernel

thanks Z!

when i get back home.... i will add a script to the boot.img update.zip to remove these line...

cheers!

Tested 20072011 kernel for half a day and this maybe the smoothest zkernel I've tested. I kept the freq between 19-1113 for 12 straight hrs and no wlods or reboots.Running WBs v008.1 on bb52.

bharadwaj1991 · Jul 21, 2011

sorry about that...i was in the wrong thread..meant to put that in the original one by z. when i just installed stock fw through seus rooted and install xrecovery .3, and flashed his .zip for zkernel...it broke xrecovery and installed the kernel BUT wouldn't boot up into it. this happened multiple times. but i got it working on beta4 by deleting lines in hw_config.sh right after installing it..and then flashing kernel..everything seems ok..but 19mhz causes huge problems..and OC for the first time since using any oc kernel caused WLOD.

thank you for your patience doomlord, and z

blueowl0708 · Jul 21, 2011

Hi Z.. thanks for that, I didn't see your comment in the other thread.

Therefore, my only other question is, will this cause problems if I switch to stock kernel or a different kernel that doesn't have an interactive governer in the future?

I might just comment them out rather than delete.

Ok just done some testing for you on cm7 7.0.3 and wifi will not connect just keeps saying obtaining address, Z posted this ar6000.ko this morning to fix it but i have just tried that and still no luck.
