[Kernel][GB][OC/UV][HDMI-MHL] !NEW! Synthesis Kernels <2013-04-30>, plus Infusion-Z

---

Please post only bugs and testing results on this thread. For general questions and answers visit ---> Infusion-Z and Zen kernel Q&A

*** Synthesis: The only GB kernel you need for your Infuse ***

New features


This set of kernels is a combination of the stock UCLB3 kernel, with all mods from the Infusion-Z kernel (see below), some mods from Entropy's DD, and more. New features include:


- Fix for the wifi drain bug (aka bt-amp bug). In the event that this bug occurs, the kernel triggers a reset of the wifi interface, which stops the bug and saves battery.

- Wifi roaming code from the international SGS2 (roam_api) replacing the stock bcmccx logic. Reduces the incidence of the wifi drain bug. This config is less agressive in seeking out new access points, so you may need to open the wifi config screen in settings to speed up the connection process.

- External SD card (/sdcard/external_sd) is now available in CWM recovery and can be used as a source to flash CWM zip packages

- Entropy512's fast charging hack is included (thanks!)

- SIO and BFQ I/O schedulers added from Entropy's DD (thanks!)

- Voodoo lagfix lady 2.0

- Kernels are attached to this post (CWM flashables) including stock CPU frequencies - 1.2Ghz - and two OC options - 1.4Ghz and 1.6Ghz. If you prefer to flash them using SGS Kernel Flasher, you can download a bundle containing all three >>here<<

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Overclocking and Undervolt support - thanks to bedwa's prior work

- CoreA cpu speeds - 1600, 1200, 800, 400, 200, 100

- CoreB cpu speeds - 1400, 1000, 800, 400, 200, 100

- Voodoo sound driver, voodoo lagfix - courtesy of project voodoo

+ [cifs support] see post #29 for info on how to use cifs

+ [Removed auto-install of superuser] you can get the current su cwm flashable here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

+ [HDMI/MHL support] using mhl adapter you can play video on most TVs and monitors with a HDMI port

+ [Video support] newer roms no longer need video reverts to allow video to record or playback

+ [External sdcard fix] corrected issue which prevented external sdcard access in some cases

+ [cfq i/o scheduler tweaks] added optimization tweaks for cfq scheduler

+ [Boot animation fix - partial] this is a work in progress - see notes below


NOTES:

Intended for use *ONLY* with stock-based GB ROMs. For CM7, CM9, and CM10 check project OPs for proper setups.

OC/UV requires use of an app like Voltage Control, CPU master, or SetCPU. Read up before jumping in - you can lock or damage your phone with incorrect settings. Remember to save your boot settings in Voltage Control menu to ensure your settings stick.

To get boot animations to show correctly: In /system/media copy sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip. I plan to automate this in a future release.

For tips on overclocking and related performance and battery tweaks see the q&a thread.

Important! - Video restore and revert packages are intended only for users of current ROMs with stock library files who have previously applied a revert package to get video to work. If you haven't done this, or are unsure, flash only the kernel package of your choice.

Links to install packages for the first release can be found on post #3.

Source code is available on my github (see signature).

Be safe and always make a backup before flashing!

Standard Disclaimer: All packaged builds are provided with no guarantees as to their safety. By flashing, you assume any and all potential risks that running a custom kernel might entail.


Recommendations: Wipe cache and dalvik-cache when flashing a new kernel. Disable any oc/uv settings from phone before flashing a new kernel.


Overclockers/Undervolters: If your phone is unstable when running at a particular overclock speed, choose a lower max cpu speed - not all phones have the same ability to handle oc speeds. When undervolting, do your research first and make small changes.

Big thanks to those who helped test this and prior kernels: qkster, mikig_mkd, boogman7, scott.hart.bti, aeonit, mikig_mkd, nwinfuse, texcowboy, tankmorph, prairied0gg, madman_sle, cmeyal, atk, and jdt352

Thanks to bedwa, entropy512, linuxbozo, and netarchy who laid the foundation (and built the house) - especially bedwa and entropy for helping me out along the way. Visit their threads and say thanks:

Nice, bro. First.

edit: Alright. Now that I got the 1st post after op claimed, I will add some more relevant info.

Nice work, Zen. I know you've been putting a lot of time into this.

Let me be the first to say thank you.
I hope this will be the first of several new additions.
Kernel development is a task onto itself.
Kernel devs are a rare breed indeed.
Thank you for taking the time to give us some options.
Now we have the options of OC and retained some video capacity, even though we are using older libs.
Can't want to see what you can do. It will be a beautiful moment to see a stable OC with MHL fix.

Awesome work, bro.

edit: 6.5.2012: Well..MHL works. OC works.
Can you make me look cool so the hot chicks will dig me?

really nice job, zen, keep it up

Outstanding Zen thanks for all the hard work. :thumbup:

Thanks Zen for your work :thumbup:

Thx for your work in keeping it going, in the developing for our community.

Fantastical!

if i flash GBZ-A2 and the lib files for emancipation, everything should be nice n cherry without superuser going back on me?
