disco custom kernel [v.b01]

---

After some days of testing the new kernel I decided to share it with everyone,

Now just to make things clear, the disclaimer:

Use it at your own risk, If you are unsure of what you are doing please do not flash this kernel.
As a rule of thumb ALWAYS do a nandroid backup first. I will not be responsible for any damage you may get and
I'm almost sure that flashing this boot image will void your warranty, but if you are reading this forum certainly you already did it.

ATTENTION:

If you flash 1GHz and have issues please use 768MHz instead.. It seems that not all liquids are stable at 1Ghz.

It's available in two versions for the ROM 2.000.16, 1GHz and 765Mhz.
Search the files in here.



Features:

1Ghz
Multitouch (many thanks to Luke Hutchison for all his work and help) [for now, only with Dolphin Browser]

Works very well with clean ROM 2.000.16, installed with acer tool.
Bootloader info is:

USB FastBoot: V1.00.03
HW version: v0.4
AMSS version: A1-02.01.03
Build Date: Jan 26 2010, 14:29:43

Instructions:
1. Read the disclaimer.
2. Do a nandroid backup.
3. Download and unpack the zip file.
4. Enter bootloader.
5. Do in console/cmd:

fastboot -i 0x0502 flash boot <boot image name>
fastboot -i 0x0502 reboot

6. Have fun (:

I didn't posted the unrooted version because when you flash this kernel you will be voiding your warranty (if you already didn't), so doesn't make sense to keep your phone unrooted, unless you really want it.. If thats the case, contact me..

As you may know, this was build from a kernel source that has some bugs on it, so, you may experience some erros.. Didn't found any, but if you find please report..
Dmesg will output some errors, but for now they are armless..

GREAT WORK!

Havn't tested it out yet, gonna do it after tomorrow since I need my phone at work tomorrow.

Is there a noticeable speed-difference when using the 1ghz-version?

Nice work mate!

I'm using the 765Mhz version without any problem. Can anyone tell if the 1GHz causes the phone to overheat?

There is no overheat on the phone but didn't gave it intensive use yet..

On benchmarks it has significant improvement, but the phone normally has no lag, so, there is almost nothing to be noted :P ..

finally... in front of a computer... gonna try now!!! u da man disc0!

EDIT: everything working great so far loving the multitouch in dolphin!
testing 1ghz settings

It would be really great if we could have SetCPU working with 1ghz enabled to preserve battery life.

EDIT : I've emailed SETCPU's developer to ask him to set something like he did for the Droid (some kind of autodetection).

You can add the information to setcpu.txt with the cpu speeds in the sdcard , but would be great to have support directly from the menu ..

@disco hit me u on gtalk "AngioNicholai@gmail"

What about the battery ?
Does this hack drains it more or not ?
