I just switched over to immortality from glitch v12. So far, I am really impressed. Everything runs very smoothly and without any real lagging.

There is one thing however that is really really odd....when playing videos, when the video finishes buffering and is about to begin playing, I get the, "cannot play ths video" message, and it closes. As far as I know, this shouldn't have anything to do with your kernel...but videos worked fine before flashing over to immortality...so I'm stumped, any ideas?

Either way, great work. Top notch job, as always!

Can you flood us with some specs, info, software? I tested video with Glitch v11 before Immortality and it worked, flash it and tested it again and it WORKED. So not sure why it wouldn't work for you. Im running nickmcminns LE-6 MIUI

Sure, I'm running Biffmod v 1.3 with a kb5 modem on a T959.

I actually noticed 2 things that went way weird after flashing this kernel. First was the video issue, and the second was an issue with voodoo color (i assume). The video issue made it so that no video would play on my device; youtube, internet, or one that was already on the phone. The voodoo color issue was when I toggled from 25% brightness to 50% the screen would go green, almost as though I ran a green render effect.

Really weird, I actually ended up restoring a nandroid backup that I made before flashing the kernel which restored me to glitch and it fixed all the issues. I think i'm going to stick with Glitch v12 for now, but it is good to note these issues Ive had (even if they are rare) for other members who might experience them as well.

I see no video issues, even after flashing Glitch, then flashing my kernel, i see no video issues. I'm actually watching Equals 3 right now from my phone, i do appreciate the bug reports though. If anyone else has these issues, please don't hesitate to say so. I can only attempt to fix what is reported ;)

I tried using this today with latest nightly and got a bootloop. I tried it again using the kernel cleaning script first and got it again.

This will not work with the latest nightly, i believe CM updated some stuff w/ their kernel. I've been busy with school, haven't been able to update it lately. I'll see about updating this weekend or next week.

I hope you didn't take offense. We are all very thankful for all your hard work, as well as all the other developers. I just wanted to give them another option. Thanks again.

nah, i didnt take offense, and i recommend Bali, drhonk is a waayyyy better kernel dev than i am, you can never go wrong with the Bali series.

you should be able to get into download mode, since thats not kernel related. If you have GB bootloaders, try holding the vol + button while plugging in the usb

    Yeah, i'm back, and this time i'm bringing Immortality-CM with me. Better performance, and maybe better battery life than its little froyo brother. As always:
    I (NOR TEAM WHISKEY) WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR PHONE BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER FLASHING THIS. PLEASE READ ALL NOTES AND WARNINGS, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, MAKE A NANDROID, HAVE ODIN READY, AND FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

    Features:
    Voodoo Sound v10
    Voodoo Color
    Safely boots to 1ghz
    OCable to 1.4ghz
    User configurable UV
    BFQ scheduler(set to default)
    Smartass governor option available
    Full sound dock support
    LIPPOL94's kernel cleaning script integrated into flash package
    SetCPU's 400/100 screen off profile safe to use, but not recommended.

    NOTES:
    1. The cleaning script is integrated into the flash package, so it will clean before the kernel actually flashes, once its done and you reboot, it will take a little while longer to reboot since the dalvik-cache is wiped.

    2. It is safe to use a screen off profile with 400/100 setting, but i do not recommend it.

    3. The splash screen is the same skull from my froyo kernel, but it has "CM" on it. If you dont like skulls or my splash in general, plz use another kernel. And NO, i won't change or make another version of it, so plz don't ask.

    4. My beta tester, Skitz, has reported low quad scores with this. If you are a person concerned with benchmark scores, then this isnt for you. Quads don't make the kernel, the performance does.

    5. I am running OMFGB so i know this will work on that and regular CM7, i hear that CM7 kernels also work on MIUI, but i have not personally tested it on it.


    Known issues:
    1. May hang on kernel splash for a while, if it exceeds more than 3 mins, pull battery and put it back in and boot normally.

    2. You may have to re-enter Gmail credentials, i think this is because of the cleaning script, but i'll look into fixing it.

    All my kernels will be hosted from Google Code, so you can download here
