Sources are on my PC but its not with me currently, as I had mentioned before.
Having a lot of traveling since last week.

Anyways I will update them as soon as I return back.

I am ready to help. Is this for 3.0.x Kernel?

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Hello Napstar,

I needed some help with 2 patch

I second that. It would be great if you could bring your GitHub up to date so we can have a look at your patches. I would appreciate it and am eager to apply one or two of them myself :)

Ehm, can u napstar when u have time ( or doomlord but i think the v14 source is on napstar pc ) push and update github repo?

thanks a lot

EDIT: For voltage sysfs, if it's respect standard you can use Voltage Control app ^^

Vdd table will reset after reboot only if you have not used any app which has "set on boot" option.

If you are varying VDD using terminal emulator or through adb it will reset.

I can't comment on wifi as I am using cm9 right now


Another question on the vdd sysfs.
When we change it, will it be reset after reboot?
What I'm worrying is when we set a voltage value which the phone cannot handle, it will hang or anything bad happen right?
so if the value is still won't reset even after reboot, it will be a bad disaster to our phone.

Another question to confirm about the wifi error.
The wifi error problem will be triggered by what?
Saw some post earlier, it said when you keep min 300mhz, the wifi error won't happen.
How about max 1300mhz or above?
Because I faced wifi error problem before in previous version of kernel with min 300mhz max 1250mhz.

I suggest using adb shell or terminal emulator and follow these instructions:

[ Note to change vdd levels ]
To check VDD table
Code:
  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

To change voltage level of a CPU freq, let's say for 900Mhz change of voltage from 1000000 to 1050000
Code:
  echo 900000 1050000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

I had problems using app though I have used standard SVS format.

How to check/use vdd sysfs?? Dont have any idea about this. Tried to google but gone over my head :confused: I think this is the reason why many people have not reported yet any feedback.

Im using the latest v14 version without the vdd thing,i have no issues with wifi,with the stock or overclocked frequencies not sure about underclocking.

I know its a very silly question but still I want to ask u that whats the purpose of changing voltage level of any frequency?? Say for example we change frequency to minimum to save save battery or increase frequency to improve the smoothness of phone functions.

Lowering the frequency to save battery means less performance, but it you undervolt your cpu it will save battery but have the same performance. Of course that alone won't do very much, but if you lower the voltages for every frequency to a stable minimum and cut off your maximum cpu freqency you can save more power and that all the time.

simple word, lower voltage drain with overclock.

Yes, but it's not influence at all, governor are 100-200kb sized each, nothing to hard, i think he include a lot governor because everyone has a favourite governor ^^ :)

my kernel ( wip only on github and not released for now ) , include only high personalized and rewrited for our device lulzactiveV2 and conservative governor tuned for battery from kernel 3.0 ^^

if dhiru lower its voltage, the kernel is more unstable ^^

not really, in my understanding, stablility, depend on the HW.
if you feeding enough power to the HW, it will be stable, once HW stable, SW also stable(provided the SW is atually bugfree)
however, in stock kernel, they set the "enough" value at the standard "safe value",
which is more than enough. so, some phone having over heat even on stock.

so, in the perfection value, you phone will be stable and cool. therefore, for the usage of UV, is to save battery power so can getting long up time but without sacrified the stablity of the phone.but every HW may having different break point, so that why it need to fine tune

Of course it changes from phone to phone, but in in general higher voltages (as in closer to the stock value) provide better stability at the expense of battery

Anybody observed that when phone is in deep mode & if we receive a call then scrren take nearly 4-5 seconds to show actual scrren where we can receive call by slide to answer buttopn on screen??? Tested this 5-6 times

of course, there re a limit and a perfect value, hw may having different voltage limit support, like overclock, but example:
1.40V -> 1.2 Ghz is fully stable for me
1.38V -> 1.2 Ghz is stable but sometimes crash ^^

It is normal. Usually restore the backup on the kernel you made the backup with

    Ok, guys. we will start working on porting our kernel for other rom. :)





    @ UC team

    Guys I know that u are working with alot of hard work for making stock kernel much much better with good features. But except vurrut no one is specifically creating kerels for AOSP roms. Now a days no one is using (or very few people are using it) cm7 or GB based miui roms. Everyone is excited about ICS based Dhiru's cm9 rom. But he is also alone working on it & he is struggling alot to make it a daily usable rom. But we can't expect everything from him on such tough development of cm9 which includes new drivers, wifi problems, most tough development of kernel 3.0 & many more problems.
    We all expect from u guys that please help Dhiru by working on ICS kernel. Also many users seriously facing blacklight issue which causes a heavy battery drain on cm7 & now on cm9 roms. So please take a look into that also. We all will be thankful to u :)

    Thank You

    Regards
    VISHAL

    How to Install our kernel OR go back to stock kernel

    If u want to flash kernels on device (without need of PC) check this: Flashing kernels using MobileODIN


    [ how to install our kernel ]

    1. download the kernels's .tar file
    2. check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
    3. reboot device into Download mode
    4. connect to PC via USB cable
    5. start ODIN
    6. make sure that device is detected
    7. click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
    8. now click start
    9. after flashing is successful the device will reboot
    10. enjoy our kernel!

    [ how to get back to stock kernel ]

    1. download the file given below
    2. check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
    3. reboot device into Download mode
    4. connect to PC via USB cable
    5. start ODIN
    6. make sure that device is detected
    7. click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
    8. now click start
    9. after flashing is successful the device will reboot
    10. you will now be back on stock kernel

    [ changelog ]

    1. fixed bootup clock speeds - all kernels will by default ALWAYS bootup at 1.0GHz max & 300MHz min CPU frequency
    2. some changes in CF-Root ramdisk - reverted to 24-11-2011 CF-Root ramdisk by amit
    3. some minor graphics changes in our touch based recovery - using graphics from CWM5.5 (ICS) and changed the images of the navigation buttons
    4. recovery will now backup & restore (if boot.img was previously backed up) kernel too (boot partition)
    5. updated ramzswap driver to newest zram driver and enabled it
    6. added & enabled cleancache driver
    7. testing some CPU overclocks upto 1.3GHz (cpu frequency for each version is given below)
      • #1009 - 300/600/800/1000/1200
      • #2009 - 300/600/800/1000/1250
      • #3009 - 300/600/800/1000/1300


    [ NOTE ]

    1. we will revert to newest CF-Root ramdisk later... due to some technical issues we cant include that in this release...
    2. version #1009 will be the most stable of the lot... other kernels are provided for testing purposes only!
    3. version #3009 is overvolted to have stability at 1.3GHz we can optimize the voltages later
    4. i havent had time to do a thorough testing... we are depending on the users feedback...
    5. it appears the "fix_permissions" feature in CWM recovery is broken, i have fixed it in our sources... it will work correctly from next release...

    • Support for full touch recovery based on CWM


    [ NOTE ]

    • currently recovery does not show options for backup to or restore from internal sdcard though it deals with internal sdcard only.
    • if you do not want to take backup of sd-ext then use advanced backup.
    • We will release a final version soon with a single cpu table settings etc.
