[Kernel] mKernel v1.3 - Stock with Dimmed LEDs + TUN*2.3.4 ROMs*

---

So after a couple of days of reading guides on the internets, I've been able to compile a mostly stock kernel that incorporates some of the changes made by joe85 in his NOLIGHTS Kernel. This kernel is stock other than the changes outlined below. The anykernel scripts keep your existing RAMDISK intact. If you had init.d support/other RAMDISK mod(s), it will still be present after flashing this kernel.

mKernel_v1.3
-Added TUN module for VPNC support
-Changed Display Maximum PWM from 232 -> 255
-Changed Display Minimum PWM from 8 -> 6
-Dimmed LEDs (from 20 mA -> 2 mA) or turned off completely
-Remove LED notification timer (does not shut off until dismissed)
------NotifyTimerOn versions use default timer to shut off notification LED

Adding overclocking has proven to be too much for me to do (more info on challenges of asynchronous dual core OC here. There isn't really much of an update going from 1.2 -> 1.3. I just re-did the changes from stock and tracked them using github. I did leave out the setting that joe85 made that allowed users to set a LED brightness via cmd line. There are 2 versions - mKernel_dim_1.3 for dim capacitive LEDs and mKernel_LEDoff_1.3 for capacitive LEDs which are always off.

You need a 2.3.4 based ROM for it to work and it can be flashed from recovery.

You can also flash it via joeykrim's Flash Image GUI with runs on your phone and is compatible with HBOOT 1.50. LINK!

Thanks to koush for the anykernel scripts and joe85 for all of his work (I just copied it into the new 2.3.4 kernel).

Everything works fine on my phone, but please post if you have any problems (not responsible, blah, blah, blah ).

github source with commits showing changes from stock kernel. There's not many and none should affect battery, performance, etc. compared to stock.

Nice will be checking this out for ya in a bit. Will report back

Currently on Myn's rom and about to give this a go Thank you.

Thanks to whomever made all of the scripts in the .zip and joe85 for all of his work (I just copied it into the new 2.3.4 kernel).

You are now my hero! I have been dreaming of low lights since 2.3.4 came out! What about CIQ removal and the such?

I would thank the post but I ran out I'll hit you up tomorrow!

Also, I wont be able to provide feedback for a couple days. I am doing some load testing on my latest ROM.

From my limited understanding android kernels and upgrading them, if the ROM you're using has it already removed, it will still be removed after flashing this kernel. CIQ removal is just done in the ramdisk. The compiled kernel makes a zImage and that, along with the modules for wimax & wifi, is all that is in the zip. The scripts in the zip extract your current boot.img, replaces the old zImage with the one in the zip, and re-makes boot.img (at least that's how I envision it working...could be wrong).
