Dear all,
As I have already distributed the v1.6b1 (beta 1) to some (many?) of members a week ago. I have been requested to open a new thread such that I could highlight what have been changed and let all testers to express their feelings and opinions to the new kernel in this centralized thread.
First, let me introduce the features of "The New Kernel" ... (not The New iPad)...
1. Stabilized the voltage & frequency setting such that the 'stock' voltage is used without affecting OC stability.
2. As different machine's CPUs are different, OC to 1.35Ghz is not the most stable setting. Instead, 1.3Ghz will be the max.
3. Remove some of the useless codes used in v1.5
4. Pick some of the code difference from the official XWLA4 kernel
5. Add in support to read NTFS & CIFS file system
6. Switch to use the SLUB allocator
7. Disable ipv6 (unless I am told to add it back)
8. Other minor bug fixes
Next, let me conclude some of the comments from members on the beta:
1. Works fine with Titanium ROM 2.1
2. Undervolted it to 750mv @ 608mhz, more stable than v1.5
3. More smooth than v1.5
4. Not as warm as v1.5, so far so 'cool' in temperature
5. No lag, no freeze
So, welcome for more opinions, discussions and findings and let's discuss here. If everything goes right, I will release v1.6 within a few days
** Updated: v1.6b2 has been sent out to around 10 testers for testing
