You did flash the boot image first, then rebooted and then installed the kernel right?

Its too late. I had already flashed the kernel, which I now realize was a mistake. It runs fine but now I can't seem to get the mod pack. I tried flashing both again but just end up getting stuck at the red moto screen.

i just want to make sure.
this kernal is for HC3.1 only, correct?

is there any chance i can get this kernal to run on my Euro 3G Xoom with HC3.0?

in particular i am interested in the performance improvements, cifs and the 1.6GHz overclock.

By mistake, I flashed the Kernel first following by a complete reboot, then the mod pack (stock one) and complete reboot. And when I realized my mistake, I falshed once again the Kernel and ... now all is good.
Maybe the only difference was the mod pack I took (the stock one, led on when device off).

Just flashed using clockwork, couldn't be easier, trying the 1.6 OC version, flying along at the moment :)

Charging light is back, hurahh.. I also flashed the boot image, not sure whether this was changed from BRD's but thought Id give it a go..

BRD, would it be possible to either up the voltage a hair more on the 1.6 GHz kernel or reinstate a 1.5 GHz OC kernel? My device was perfectly stable at 1.5 GHz before, but it's just barely not stable at 1.6. (It works fine in normal applications, but in SetCPU's stress test, it reboots after half a minute or so.)

Alternatively, if you can't raise the voltage further, could you please reinstate the 1.5 GHz frequency step in the 1.6 GHz kernel? I would hate to go down in OC. =/

Edit: Alternatively, could you try what Netarchy does on his Nexus S kernel? He has implemented a custom OV/UV feature, letting users determine their own voltages. Check it out here. Here's his GitHub.

Edit 2: And of course, thanks for the kernel!

Stupid work! Only 5.5 hours left, can't wait to give this a try! Thank you very much! I'm sure it's going to be great!

It's all good. No worries. Not like I did enough this week or anything lol. I am going to release Tiamat 1.4.2 today. Quite frankly, it's wicked. BTW, don't be fooled by ext4 filesys hacks to trick a high quadrant score. You guys remember my "hyperspeed" kernel? It was the same thing. I can get a 9000 quadrant score doing that. Put it has no real impact on device performance. Anyways, we got a killer kernel on the way.

Thx for the Kernel BRD!

Guys, I'm gonna be honest for a second here. I have made the instructions as simple as possible. They can be made no simpler. You are flashing a boot image because RAMDISK IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED! All you have to do is follow the instructions. I spend alot of time not only on development, but developing the simplest method of implementation possible. In a few days when I drop a new Mass Storage kernel, you will most likely have to flash ANOTHER BOOT IMAGE. You can blame GoogMotoCorp for not doing the MicroSD card right. Just follow the instructions guys. Ughhh :confused: :confused:

No, you're right. I didn't follow the instructions correctly. First xoom kernel, my bad.

The best advice one can give is to slow down and read thoroughly!

Thanks BRD for your splendid work!

I agree BRD, the directions can't be any more simple. But people jump into things without reading... hopefully people will start reading before jumping into flashing the files.

BTW, everything is working great on mine.

Bigrushdog, Thanks so much for your hard work on this kernel. Everything runs great! Actually so great with the 3.1 update and new kernel i'm able to underclock my xoom and get the same performance as what I was seeing with 3.0 overclocked at 1.5. Great performance even with underclock, and my battery...still at 90% after 2 hours of pretty intense use. Once again, great work. <3 you devs!

    How to Install

    Instruction for flashing Tiamat Xoom Kernel And Boot Image Packs

    NOTE: These instruction assume you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery and upgraded to Honeycomb 3.1!

    Preparation

    1. Proceed to the Boot Image Section and grab your favorite boot image. Not needed if you're happy with what you got.

    2. Proceed to the Download Center post and grab your kernel.

    Installation

    1. Reboot into recovery.

    2. Go into "mounts and storage"

    3. Select "mount USB storage"

    4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Drop the kernel (and boot image pack if applicable) onto SD Card.

    5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"

    6. If you are flashing a boot image pack, flash it first. Then flash the kernel zip. NOT FOR ANDROID 3.2

    7. Back out to main menu and reboot.

    Only get Official Tiamat Xoom Kernel releases from this location or download from Kernel Manager. As a user and Android Enthusiast, you can rest assured that the releases from these sources are SAFE. These releases have been rigorously tested and are suitable for public release.

    As a Tiamat Xoom Kernel User, you agree to the following terms and common sense principals

    • As an Android Enthusiast, you are responsible for having a basic understanding of commonly used tools. These include, but are not limited to, ADB, shell, fastboot, and ClockworkMod Recovery.
    • You agree to follow the instructions EXACTLY AS POSTED. With recovery and Kernel Manager, it should now be relatively easy to flash.
    • You agree that this is a kernel development thread on a development website. You will treat other users with dignity respect. Your posts will be easily understandable and productive.
    • You agree to NEVER ASK FOR TIMEFRAMES OR ETA'S. I have a boss at work, and at home, and it's not you. ;)
    • As an Android Developer, I pledge to release SAFE kernels that are as stable as possible. The goal of kernel development is to improve the performance, battery life, and provide additional functionality to Android devices.

    Full repository of all versions, released and unreleased for the HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC Evo 4G, and the Xoom

    Release notes for 2.0.0:
    Tiamat Kernel 2.0.0 Katana, is ONLY TO BE USED WITH 3.2. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH 3.1.
    Also, do not flash a boot.img as this will also break stuff at the moment on 3.2.

    Release Notes for 1.4.4: 1.7Ghz is likely as far as we can push the Tegra2 cores. We have stress tested the heck out of 1.7 and it is safe. However, safe does not mean stable. Personally, I can run 1.7 on Interactive governor all day and it's smooth as butter. Other folks get reboots. If you can not run at 1.7, try 1.6. Everybody who tested was able to run at 1.504 without any problems. Just because this release is clocked to 1.7, that does not mean you can not run at stock speeds. Simply do not overclock. The settings for 1Ghz are identical to stock settings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you leave your device on INTERACTIVE. You may use Performance solely for benchmarking purposes, but then PUT IT BACK.

    USB Tether: Plug OTG cable into Xoom. Plug phone with microUSB cable into OTG cable. On phone, enable USB Tether. On Xoom, run the following in terminal or script manager (Scripter, GScript, Tasker) of your choice.

    Code:
    dhcpcd usb1
    setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

    The Xoom will not show any indication that there is a network connection. But pull up your browser and surf away. Like I said earlier, I tested this personally on the Evo with a Sense rom. It works perfect. However, there are countless devices out there. Your experience may vary.

    Tiamat Xoom Kernel Modpacks

    Tiamat Xoom Kernel Boot Images For Honeycomb 3.1 ONLY NOT FOR 3.2


    Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel. You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.:rolleyes::rolleyes:


    About These Boot Images

    These modifications apply to all boot images

    • Enable MicroSD card in Android mounted at "sdcard/external".
    • Enable USB Host with and OTG cable mounted at "/usbOTG"
    • New! EXT4 file system mount mod for faster write speeds and killer Quadrant scores. Thanks TDR from AndroidCentral!

    Just want to point out that the link to the new kernel is NOT bigrushdog's kernel. Flash with good judgment. Also, I think it was bad manners posting that link here....should have started your own thread.
