Any chance that you will give us greater overlock and/or GPU overclock for those of us who have "binned" CPUs and can handle it?

Yea. I would really want some more features can be ported to this kernel. Like smartass V2 and vr scheduler, also it would be better to have 1.4 ghz overclock or above. A gpu overclock is needed as well. As I encounter some lag on this kernel even with 1.2 ghz overclock.

Has anyone experienced any issues with 3D gaming why using the latest CM7 Kernel? I am having an issue in that every few minutes the game will just pause. So far this is happening with Dead Space and Shadowgun. I am trying to trouble shoot the issue as it is making 3D games next to unplayable at this point. I have tride just about every available governor and Chainfire 3D configuration and the best I can get is that it will not happen for a bit after rebooting the device but after being active for an hour or so its back to the pausing. My best guess at this point is that it is pausing in an attempt at playing catch up. Sorry, did not see ant posts describing my issue but figured the Kernel would be a good place to start.


Might not be the Kernel Shadowgun plays great on mine with the newest CM7 Kernel and Chainfire

I reinstalled and every thing has been working fine. For some reason my Kindle was acting like the screen had been turned off and on again witch will pause the games. Figured this out after installing auto-killer as a potential fix and selecting the option for an alternate preset for when the screen is off. Then after noticed that I would get a pop up banner from auto-killer that it chánged my values as if the device was left idle even though it was actively being used. Set a screen of profile in SETCPU after that also confirmed this. I'm going to go ahead and blame TWRP as I would always find oñe odd bug just about every time I flashed anything and also would find things missing or not working after a backup. For the most part they had been minor bugs like speakers not working after unplugging headphones until turning audio off and on or incorrect temperature readings. I cant say for sure TWRP is at fault but can verify that my Roms flashes and restores have all been bug free since making the switch to CWM.

Game is wonderful by the way, been also playing dead zone and without chainfire and I must say the Kindle handles these games much better then I anticipated. Big ups on the Kernel as they don't play nearly as well without.

Question, is this Kernel still Supported? Haven't herd much lately Despite my above comment I forgot to edit this is hands down the best CM7 Kernel going. Think TWRP was at fault with the above issue. Otherwise until CM9 is ready for prime time its definitely the best thing going Kernel wise.

    This is my personally compiled kernel for the Kindle Fire with a few optimizations.

    Acknowledgments:
    DooMLoRD - for helping greatly in my initial trials on how to create kernels for the Fire
    g1011999 - for providing a working .config
    paulobrien - insecure boot image
    franciscofranco - for some of the ARM optimizations which I've missed since I stopped modding the N1
    hashcode - the 3.0 kernel base

    Features:
    - compiled using Mjolnir
    - CPU overclocking code from OMAPZOOM repositories
    - ARM code optimizations

    What doesn't work:
    same bugs as Hashcode's

    Download URL:
    http://intersectraven.euroskank.com/kernels/

    Latest Changes:
    20120730_08XX:
    - backported cleancache and zcache improvements from 3.4

    20120709_1619:
    - added further tweaks to interactive scheduler
    - rebased experimental optimization to minimize chance of faulty merge

    20120703_1041:
    - rebased to hashcode's 3.0.31 kernel with support for the touchscreen filter
    - added an experimental optimization which in theory should make the kernel a bit more responsive...at least in theory...

    20120619_2251:
    - numerous ARM optimizations (most from the 2.6 series)
    - ported CM's changes to the interactive governor and low memory killer
    - GPU driver is compiled into the kernel

    20120601_1145:
    - integrated latest BFQ release 4 for selection (not default) in SetCPU

    20120513_1557:
    - integrated shutdown fix from hashcode

    20120512_2044:
    - first 3.0 release with almost all my tweaks

    20120216_1740:
    - final fix for TUN without module (if it still doesn't work, going to module in next release)
    - UTF8 support for file systems
    - some optimizations

    20120211_1219:
    - minor update for fixing OpenVPN based VPNs

    20120207_19XX:
    - unification release (unified all my modifications with my Galaxy Nexus kernel and restarted from scratch)
    - ARM optimizations
    - OC without thermal control
    - compiler optimizations
    - CIFS and TUN enabled
    - now based on 2.6.35.14
    - now in zip version for easier flashing

    ***DEPRECATED***
    Instructions (stock WiFi driver):
    1.) Boot to fastboot
    2.) Test first using fastboot boot command

    Instructions (custom WiFi driver):
    1.) Turn off WiFi.
    2.) Use adb push command to push tiwlan_drv.ko to /sdcard/
    3.) Using root explorer, rename tiwlan_drv.ko from /system/etc/wifi to tiwlan_drv.ko.bak.
    4.) Usring root explorer, copy tiwlan_drv.ko from /sdcard/ to /system/etc/wifi. Make sure permissions are same with other files in directory together with owner and group being set to root.
    5.) Reboot to fastboot and TEST FIRST using fastboot boot command

    Detailed instructions are on the next post. :)

    Detailed Instructions:

    Turn off your device's WiFi.
    From your command prompt issue the ff. commands:

    Code:
    adb shell
    su
    idme bootmode 4002
    reboot

    This will cause your kindle to reboot to fastboot mode. Issue the ff. commands:

    Code:
    fastboot -i 0x1949 boot bootnew.img

    This will cause the Kindle to boot TEMPORARILY to the new kernel which I assume you downloaded from me. :)
    If it doesn't boot normally, you can turn off your Kindle by holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds then turn it on again.
    This will boot your Kindle to fastboot mode again.

    If the kernel didn't work:

    Code:
    fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
    fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

    This will reboot your Kindle back to normal.

    If the kernel worked, here's how to flash it permanently:

    Code:
    fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot bootnew.img
    fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
    fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

    This should boot up with the new kernel.

    Once you've booted up properly, issue the ff. commands to replace your stock WiFi driver with the new one.

    Code:
    adb push tiwlan_drv.ko /system/etc/wifi/
    adb shell
    su
    cd /system/etc/wifi
    chmod 644 tiwlan_drv.ko

    Ensure that the permissions, owner and group settings for the new WiFi driver are correct by issuing:

    Code:
    ls -l

    Turn on your WiFi. :)

    Minor kernel release! Added interactive CPU governor. :)

    Unification Release! :)

    This marks a complete restart of my kernel modifications! Branch modifications have now been back/forward-ported to/from this and my Galaxy Nexus source tree! Also, this marks a return to the roots of why I began modifying kernels! Focus is on energy consumption, compiler optimizations and code changes for more efficient processing! Also, only OC which is endorsed by the manufacturer is going to be integrated into the kernel. :D
