[Kernel] Launchpad 1.3.0 Gemini (Updated 7/24/11)

---

The Launchpad kernel works on both 3G/4G and Wifi Only Xooms

***This Kernel is for 3.1 and 3.2 Xooms***

***Forked from AOSP***

With added overclock, microSD, and other features made possible from the hard work of Bigrushdog, Coolbho3000, Solarnz, Kcrudup, and Cybertronic

-Launchpad 1.3.0-
-Gemini-

***1.3.0 Plays Nice With 3.1, 3.2, Tiamat 1.1, and Tiamat 2.0***

Please see below posts for Special Instructions!!!







As a reminder you must be unlocked and rooted!


Install Instructions:


There are a few different ways to do this, this is what I do-


1) Download ROM Manager (Free or Paid)
2) Download the zip from the link below
3) Move zip to your external SD card
A- Using a file explorer ( ex. Root Explorer), copy and paste the .zip file to your external sdcard (/sdcard/external)
OR
B- Put the zip on your SD card using your PC
4) Open Rom manager
5) Press the second button (Reboot Recovery)
Xoom will boot into recovery
6) Use volume rocker to select install zip from sdcard (Press power button to confirm)
7) Use volume rocker to select choose zip from sdcard
8) Select the zip file placed on the sdcard
9) Select yes
Xoom will flash file and put you back onto recovery screen
10) Select Reboot
11) Sit back and bask in the glory

-Special Instructions-

This version of Launchpad comes packed with a maximum CPU frequency of 1.7GHz and user adjustable voltages for each frequency. Use these features responsibly! Do not select "Set on boot" unless you are confident the settings you chose are stable! Always make backups!




How to use the voltage control:

The stock frequencies and voltages in a kernel are not optimal for everyone. Userspace voltage control lets you either 'undervolt' (to save power) or 'overvolt' (to try and stabilize) any given CPU frequency to meet your needs.


Undervolting-

The easiest way to adjust these voltages is by using the app "Pimp my Cpu", available either from the Market or xda ([APP] 24 June 2011 : Pimp My Cpu 3.0 (OC/UV kernel control tool) - xda-developers). This app will let you to set an undervolt amount for each possible frequency, as well as fill some of the basic overclocking roles of a tool like SetCPU or Droid Overclock.
Note: at this moment, the app "Voltage Control" is not compatible with Launchpad 1.2.0.


Overvolting-

Unfortunately, Pimp my Cpu does not do overvolting, so you need to execute a shell command to set an overvolt amount.
Say for example 1600MHz isn't quite stable, and you want to give it a little help. From either adb shell or Terminal Emulator, execute the following commands:


su
echo "0 -25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table


The second line has a series of 13 numbers, mostly zeros. They represent the number of millivolts to subtract from the default voltage of each possible frequency, starting from the higest (1700MHz) to lowest (216MHz). So in the above example, we apply a negative 25 millivolt undervolt ( which transleted to a 25 millivolt overvolt) to the second fastest CPU frequency (1600MHz). Note that the minimum voltage is 770 millivolts and the maximum voltage is 1400 millivolts. If your new voltage exceeds these limits, it will not work.

Here is an example of bumping up 1500, just so you get how its done:

su
echo "0 0 -25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

In Pimp my CPU, you will see the following as a result of the first command

-Partial Changelog-

1.3.0/N 'Gemini' rc3 (Test)
-Minor fixes for vold (USB OTG mounting works)
*3.2: USB drives mount at /mnt/usbdisk, symlink at /usbdisk
*3.2: Micro SD card symlinked at /sdcard2
*Updated tun and usbwwan add-ons
**Reminder: These add-ons will install drivers, but won't load them automatically. It's up to you to know how to use them

1.2.3N-beta5 (Test)
-Stock clocks for GPU and some other core clocks (sclk, hclk, vde)
**Use this if you experience graphical corruption, instability, lockups, heat problems or just want to save some battery

1.2.3-beta5 (Test)

-Fixed broken 3G (caused by missing drivers)+

TDR (First 3.1 Kernel)
-Initial un-named release






**When the Xoom goes to sleep, it shuts off the second of its two CPU cores to save power. When it wakes up again, it reloads the previous configuration but the selected frequency gets reset. TDR has patched it to use the same frequency as the first core (which should always be awake).



+If your 3G isn't working before you flash this kernel, please flash another kernel that does have working 3G (or flash BRD's 3G boot image for Tiamat 1.4.2) before flashing this one.

Glad to see this here! Thank you for bringing this over. I can't wait to try the custom OV/UV.

Thanks bro, enjoy

Would it be possible for you to list the default voltages at each speed so that we know how much we can add or remove before reaching the defined limits?

I knew I forgot something, got it added.

All right! Giving it a go now. Glad to see that undervolting guide! Let's see how it goes!

I have to say this kernel feels much more smooth than tiamat 1.4.4 kernel.

With tiamat, I would have web browser slow down after a long period of use. Not with this one.
