[kernel] joker test kernels cm7/blur{most are stable} 2/07/12

---

disclaimer: use common sense as these are test kernels. so if it messes your phone up its your fault not mine.


As stated above these are test kernels. They are alpha status until properly tested. Some of these kernels are weird, you have been warned. btw if its posted i have personally booted the kernel.

Something I found in short testing is the photon seems faster at 1.4 then at 1.45.
Also it takes 1400mv to get 1.45 and only 1300 to get 1.4. I will only post 1.4 as stable due to the voltage difference alone. Also i wont post any gpu oc's as stable because of battery life. So gpu overclocks will only be here

All these test kernels will be full ext4 ready. yes i know it says its ext4 in apps but you actually have to convert the partitions to ext4 to see a real effect, use newest cwm to convert. system data and cache are supported but only system and data are recommended. osh support will come later

This is not the final stage for these kernels, select kernels will be picked and recompiled as final once it shows good results.

dont forget to actually overclock the kernels with some program like setcpu or cm7's build in.

newoc-code= fixes for undervolting
1.45= 216@800mv,456@900mv,800@1000mv,1000@1100mv,1200@12 00mv,1300@1300mv,1450@1400mv
1.4= 216@750mv,312@775mv,456@800mv,800@900mv,1000@1000m v,1200@1200mv,1400@1300mv
stock=stock clocks/mv's but still undervoltable like all my kernels.
avp= audio video processor stock=240
gpu= graphics processing unit stock=300
mem=ram stock=300
untested= i didnt try to boot it.

experimental group

1.4 240 325 300 zram ntfs cifs extra optimized 12/20/12 blur roms only
done
to enable zram
open terminal and type

su
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
mkswap /dev/block/zram1
swapon /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram1
free *to make sure its working*

zram helps webtop alot with memory issues

untested atm set.
blur-test-1.4-240-350-300-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-lt.zip = meaning its a low timing version of 300 or lpddr2-600 (stock)
blur-test-1.4-240-350-333-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-mt.zip = a better timed version of the 333 oc posted yesterday should be alot more stable than previous version
blur-test-1.4-240-350-400-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-lt.zip its a low timing version of 400. remember 400= actually equals lpddr2-800.
blur-test-1.4-240-350-400-ntfs-zram-test7-hardvfp-ht.zip high timing version of 400. this one is actually tested and works great

the high timing of 400ht offsets the performance gained with the higher clockspeed. so its faster but not by much. thats why im testing other timing configs. its possible that the 300 low timing might be the fastest or the 400 low timing. i wont know till i test all of them thoroughly. adjustments will be made as needed. wifi might work i compiled but didnt test.


1.5 test1 260 325 333

1.5 test1 260 325 300

cm7-1.4 test1 240 325 300 zram ntfs this is the same as the new blur zram kernel

cm7-1.4 test1 240 325 333 zram ntfs also new like blur one


Top secret test run
This is the newest test kernel set. It has no memory oc as that test is still on going and awaiting results. This is not to be compare to the memory kernels, the comparision will be against stable kernels and 1 vs 2. i'll also build softvfp versions to compare hardvfp vs softvfp. yes i know wifi is broke. these are test kernels and while ill still be trying to get wifi working its really not that important on test kernels. test kernels are for testing to see what is to be put in beta kernels which will have wifi.

http://www.holyliving****.com/Jokersax11/testkernels/ this is where test kernels will go. this set is the top secret set. good luck and happy testing. also please post something more detailed than it works.


Brand new kernels need testing
if these are functional ill be redoing all of my kernels and updating both threads

Find the newest kernels here

Testing hints
1. give it longer than usual to boot the first time
2. dont set setcpu to max at boot if you havnt tested pushing your phone that fast.
3. it takes testing many setups to find the sweet spot. you are all guinea pigs in the pursuit of ultimate speed.

Edit. I as all of these are stable i am going to move them to the stable thread once i complete a new batch of test kernels



Thank faux for many many things.

Nice!!! Thanks. Downloading now.

Thanks for this! I've downloaded and will try to flash later. Your initial 1.4 kernels, I couldnt run so hopefully I can boot one of these up.

tried CM7 OC kernel, found WIFI is broken.....am using the ROM from Cybik.

Wifi not working either CM7

very good job!

maybe a 1.3/1.35 MHz OC with avp=240 gpu=350 mem=300 would allow more users to get it working.

EDIT-1: I'm on Jockersax11 rev1
- 1.45oc newoc-code avp=240 gpu=325 mem=300 -> bootloop

- 1.4oc newoc-code avp=240 gpu=325 mem=300 -> not tried yet

- 1.4oc newoc-code avp=240 gpu=350 mem=300 -> freezing at <starting services>

EDIT-2:
- 1.4oc newoc-code avp=240 gpu=350 mem=300 ->

I've been able to start system;
Smartbench 2011 scores:
productivity index: 4816
Games Index: 3022

Same here, wifi borked on cm7 but very smooth and responsive. Don't care about scores.

I will run it for awhile and see how battery life is since my 3g speeds are incredible.

and thanks for your continuing efforts for this phone!

Tried CM7 1.4 highpro. Works very good. I would like to ask the wifi fix. Thanks.

Thanks for giving a fock and dropping the cm7 kernel joker! Very much appreciate it. It makes the photon just that much sexier with cm7 on deck.

Agree. And I would be happy if CM7 kernel will be in development!
