Re: [KERNEL] HTC DNA LK_DNA 0.9.5 [2-7-13] System Write/Standby fixes/Voltage mod

Was 0.9.5 updated?

Noticed the date changed but the build number didn't? Unless its from the future, 2/7/13.. :D

I wonder what's up with HTC, don't they usually release source code pretty quickly? Think Verizon maybe coercing them?

Just want to chime in a say this kernel is a beast. Running this kernel on newts sense 5 and speed and battery life is flat out awesome. Great job.

Sweet! I was wondering if anyone was successfully running this kernel on Newts Sense 5 ROM.

Flashing now!:D:D:D

Quick question....

Did you flash this in recovery or via adb?

If recovery, what steps did you use? I am S Off and running beast mode kernel and LKs 0.9.5 would not flash for me in recovery?

Thanks!

HTC release source code quickly? The exact opposite is reality.
HTC constantly is in violation of the GPL when it comes to this. They make us wait 90-120 days for source and believe that they have the right to do this. The GPL states that it must be made available as soon as the accompanying software(ROM) is in use by the public or sooner. It is very clear about this but they refuse to comply.

Read and sign please!

Fastboot flash boot image. Then flash modules.zip through recovery.

The kernel is not updated for s off yet.

I sent them a 'WTF' email a while back and after some generic response they sent me the first time I clarified what I was asking and they said certain parties didn't want this device as part of HTCdev. Which we know VZ forced them to pull it from supported devices, but now we're talking GPL compliance which is completely different matter. Could VZ pressure HTC to delay source code?

I'm almost wondering since the DNA had sku change earlier this week that maybe a new version with a modification to the SIM tray is coming and we won't see any code released until the revised version is out.

Granted they're still out of GPL compliance, and I'm just speculating, but they could be releasing an update along side the revised model and are waiting to post anything until then..

Quick basic question...

Does this Kernel work on Viper 1.2.0?

Just wondering before I flash Viper.

Thanks peeps!

    Hello! Here's an HTC DNA kernel with system write access based off HTC's 2.04.605.2 source. While system write is awesome for those without s-off, there are just a few other things some of us desire while maintaining stability of our DNAs. The most glaring thing to me was the horrible standby battery time on our stock phones. The issue is due to a wakelock of msm_hsic_host that prevents the phone from going into deep sleep. This absolutely kills standby time. I've put fixes into place to correct this issue. I'll likely be adding some additional features to this kernel, but I won't be going crazy. My main concern with this kernel is stability and good battery life, so if you're looking for a benchmarking kernel you should probably try a different one for now. Don't ask for release dates!

    Installation:

    You must be unlocked and rooted to install this kernel. The process to unlock and root are covered in other threads dealing directly with those tasks. If you are unfamiliar with Recovery Mode or fastboot, this modification is not yet for you and you should read up on those things first. There's always the potential that you may damage your phone with any system modification, and by installing and using this kernel you take full responsibility for any damage you may cause to your phone. Download the zip file for the version you want to install. This zip file should be extracted on your computer and contains a boot.img file that needs to be flashed in fastboot, as well as another zip file containing the modules which must be put on your phone's storage and installed in Recovery Mode. DO NOT INSTALL THE FULL DOWNLOADED ZIP FILE IN RECOVERY. After flashing boot.img and installing the modules zip file, make sure you wipe your cache and Dalvik (recommended with each update, too).

    Awesome! I started a new job Monday so I might not get around to digging into their code until this weekend, but I'll make sure to get you guys a build ASAP. :)

    Just to clear some things up.

    I fixed my return to stock flash, thanks elkay for pointing out my derp.

    Second, you only need to flash that if coming from my custom kernel, not any of the stock based ones. On the custom one, I remove some files from your phone because the functions are built into the custom kernel. Flashing that file puts them back.

    I pulled down the source and am starting to take a look at it. Pretty busy weekend but I'll see what I can do about getting something together.

    According to the viper ROM instructions flashing the dsb modules isn't necessary, it's built in to his script.

    You're correct in that when flashing Viper as a clean install after full wipe, you don't need modules for the dsb kernel since they're built in to the ROM. However, to change to elkays kernel, you must flash the DNA.Stock.Kernel.Modules.Fixed.zip module to restore the missing stock files, then flash the new kernel. It's really a quick and painless procedure, but has to be done in correct sequence.

    So what you should do now to set things straight, and might as well move on elkay 0.9.4:
    1. Download and unzip the LK_DNA_0.9.4.zip file on your "SD"
    2. Download but leave zipped the DNA.Stock.Kernel.Modules.Fixed.zip file.
    3. Use flash GUI to flash boot.img file in unzipped LK_DNA_0.9.4 folder. (same as flashing boot.img through adb in bootloader with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but a hell of a lot quicker).
    4. Reboot to recovery.
    5. Clear cache and dalvik cache, flash DNA.Stock.Kernel.Modules.Fixed.zip then flash LK_DNA.Modules.zip in the unzipped LK_DNA_0.9.4 folder. You can do all that in one recovery session without rebooting.
    5. Now reboot. Bet things will be a lot better.:good:
