I have tried everything and I think you're right. But, I have already tried other sources, none seems to work other than this. :(

What did the logcat shows? Take logcat while opening the camera app and post it.

You can find logcat here. Camera shows 1.9 MP in 4.2 so I think it has something to do with setting correct drivers in kernel.

Does your github (https://github.com/kashifmin/a116_kernel) have the complete kernel source, will it build if I try ?

i'm asking this because of our internet speeds :D :p

Nope. I don't have a good connection to upload the whole sources. I have already said it before, I will upload only the changes made.

I think overclocking is not possible for our device. (MTK)

Yes you are correct,the source you used for compiling this kernel has some issues regarding the cam drivers try merging some other mtk6589 device sources and compile it.

Hi,

Please update your github according to GPL & xda rules.

I know you did a github repo with full patch but...

You have to provide complete & ready-to-build source (with commits - changes history from the full source if you understand what I mean).

Sorry, but that is impossible for me with 30KB/s connection. I do understand the GPL rules, my github contains all the modification that I have done, if you merge it with the original source then you can build easily! Please understand.

Yes your right. Full source with 30kbps , it's really impossible.


I am requesting to you and as you said can you provide what are the changes you did and which source you used..

Better you can create a separate thread for this, so that this thread we will only discuss about kernel bugs.

I think this is the first mtk6589 custom kernel , we are really proud of this

Ok I understand then I can upload base source if you want (all objects from your base kernel) in your github

Just contact me on QQ (2605649251) or irc at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=omnirom

    FAQ:

    GPU overclock reduces performance on my phone. Why? OR I'm getting low scores on benchmark? OR I get low fps? (Don't be dumb to ask this question again and again).
    A: I really don't know the reason. But if it doesn't work for you, download this and flash it using CWM/TWRP without wipe.

    What is a kernel? Why should I install it?
    A: Click here to know the answer.

    How to Change RAMDISK ?
    A: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52449925&postcount=525

    Will this work on all MT6589 Phones?
    A: NO!

    Is this kernel compatible with all ROMs?
    A: Yes. But for ROMs not based on stock, (like MiUi and ColoOS) you have to replace ramdisk.

    Will this work on other clones like MyPhone A919i, Wiko Cink 5, Fly IQ451 ?
    A: YES. It will work :)

    Is this kernel recommended for daily use?
    A: Yes!

    My phone lags a lot on V2.0. Why?
    A:Because you are on 1.5GHz by default. Download Set CPU from playstore and set max frequency to 1.2GHz.

    What are the best governor+io combinations?
    A: Hotplug+cfq, Smartassv2+cfd, Sakuractive+cfq. You can try others and report! :D

    How to use doubletap2wake and sweep2wake?
    A: Download trickster mod app from playstore, Open "specific" tab in that app and enable s2w, d2w. Also tick on kernel settings to make your settings stay after a reboot. Also Refer this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51893190&postcount=420

    Update V2.7

    I'm sorry if you faced battery drop on v2.6. I don't know why I forgot to replace fixed battery drivers on the main part of kernel source (after reverting many changes). I have added them again and no battery drop now. See attached screenshot :)

    KashKernel V2.7 also has doubletap2wake and sleep2wake . To enable it, go to sys/android_touch and edit values in files doubletap2wake and sweep2wake. (0 for disable, 1 for enable, 2 to enable both s2w and sweep2sleep). Or simply download trickster mod app from playstore and enable them.

    Download link: http://d-h.st/1Ko

    Enjoy :)

    Hello, guys test the new version 2.4. GPU is overclocked to 476MHz, disabled by default, you must flash GPU overclock modules to enable it.
    And There are lots of patches, check OP.

    Major Update: Now the source is upgraded to Linux 3.4.16 (WIP, will be updated to 3.4.82 soon).

    Regards :)

    Hello guys,
    I have updated OP with latest kernel v2.0. Camera and all small bugs are fixed. Now, I recommend it for daily use :)
    After installing please change the max frequency to 1.2GHz otherwise your phone will lag(strange :/ ).
    This should work on all clones of our device.
    Please try it and post reviews.

    Don't forget to hit thanks! :D

    Regards.
