[Kernel] arrrghhh's kernel!

---

Hey guys!

As always, I take NO responsibility if you break your device. Overclocking too high can cause issues. I don't recommend overclocking more than what is provided!!!

This is a fork of Sabbypenguin's source which is naturally a clone of the original Moto source.

Here is my fork.

Changelog is in second post. Wants/desires/etc in the third. Buglist is the 4th.

The latest flashable zip is attached (0.11+ is for JellyBean 4.1.2) (Thanks Shabby for letting me kang the flashable zip ) The changelog post will serve as an archive, as I put out more kernels .

Note - these kernels are mostly for the stock ROM. In the changelog I have shown which kernel is appropriate for what firmware... There is a kernel link (or more) for CM as well, it will match the stock kernel version as best as I can, while still being appropriate for CM!

Wants/needs/desires/etc

• CPU Overclock - looks like ~1.7 maybe 1.8ghz is do-able... Done! to 1.89ghz currently. However, it doesn't seem to 'stick'? I do see it jumping around, not sure what would cause that... Analyzing... If you use NoFrills, it seems to stick. Also, would like to get the full potential out of the chip, should be able to hit 2.1ghz.
• ROW scheduler - would like to try this, heard it helps quite a bit! Done in latest!
• GPU Overclock - perhaps...?
• Add more governors (Wheatley I've heard is good. Any requests?)
• What else?

Buglist

• None that I know of... yet.

(But I haven't really broken much either... yet )

Benchmarks

Well, I made this post... might as well use it.

Just took this on my 0.10 kernel:

Nice! Will be hitting this up when I get home.

Thanks arrrghhh and Shabby! Flashing now

Clocks don't stick with ROM Toolbox Pro or System Tuner.. Have not tried any others but these should work... Has always been this way though

OGL framerate seems to be locked at 57, I would love to see an unlock(to like 58 :P )


I'm willing to be a tester.

Gonna give it a shot.. Brb

Holy $hit... Running smooth so far.

So... overclock doesn't stick after a reboot or what? I'm not following, sorry. I've just been rebooting when I flash a new kernel lol.

I've been able to squeeze 1.89ghz out of the proc, but I haven't touched 2d/3d... It's on the wishlist . Still messing with OC, seems we should be able to hit 2.1. I also have some underclocking commits so you can set it lower than 384 or whatever the default lowest is .

Plancy is correct. Clock doesn't stick at max frequency. Tried setcpu, antutu cpu master pro and rom toolbox.
