Defy Custom Kernel Thread[2nd boot source released][Test Kernel released]

[juan296]

Any kernel with the android patches from Google.
Question, what new things can we expect? Ion, zcache, what *realy* usefull thing was missing due to old kernel?

isn't swap kinda useless for our phones?

720p, can't we already achieve that on our old kernel (cm 7.2)? same for other os

 

[thecknt]

Yes!!

Can our defys suport usb on the go?? Swap will be awsone!! Sorry for my bad english

 

[zakoo2]

isn't swap kinda useless for our phones?

no, as we only have 512mb ram, and for jb to run on the defy smoother and better swap would be useful.

Can our defys suport usb on the go??

no, usb host mode is not supported by the hardware of the defy.

 

[hsrars-d]

no, usb host mode is not supported by the hardware of the defy.

Thats wrong. OMAP3630 chipset has support for usb-otg.

Soo, are we now waiting for the sources or whats the current status on this?

the chipset has, youre right, but the defy does not support it. not everything the chipset supports is enabled.

lol. Defy dosent support it because support has been removed from stock "froyo" kernel.
Check the usb otg thread.. it works fine on 2.1 eclair!

 

[Steveletack]

So if the Hardware Supports it but it isnt enabled, arent we able to activate it with full control over the software due to the possibility to flash custom kernels?

 

[viper.]

atm for usb otg you have to have
Defy withKernel 2.6.29.
"Angler Gábor found out, that Motorola
has disabled the OTG support in
kernels of later versions. This was
tested on Android 2.2 (Froyo) with the
kernel 2.6.32. The OTG support cannot
be loaded by kernel modules. "

So basically custom kernel will bring usb host mode back on defy.

 

[zakoo2]

well, sry then, i was sure usb otg was disabled in our hardware, not software. seems i was wrong. and this is one of the few times im happy i was wrong, usb otg would be great!

Can someone tell me what custom kernels are good for?
and what is swap?
noob questions
tnx

Search it up much quicker
It's great to see the defy getting better after it was taken away from me
Hope to compile a custom kernel one day for fun
Good luck Quarx with getting this fully functioning once you have the source.

 

[fideliofidelio]

Lol. Every time I read 'have the source', I misread 'have the force'.

May the force be with you, Great Devs!

 

[YaPeL]

no, as we only have 512mb ram, and for jb to run on the defy smoother and better swap would be useful.

Well, you should ask the owners of the htc magic if it really makes things faster but sadly it doesn't, blame the memory managment of android.

Well, in fast words.

Swap is kind of RAM from Linux systems that are in the HD (or SD-CARD). Its useful for devices that don't have much RAM.

Custom kernels its a kernel done by the devs. They get a original kernel (normally from http://www.kernel.org/ ) and adapt it to the mobile with news/different device drivers. It can support some new features, like wifibdirect, better support to ext2/ext4/fat32 file system and others.

Google it, have a lot more things that a updated kernel could help on our defy(+). A custom kernel even more!

guess we can port LG optimus black's kernel to defy once thr source code is available. t
should be newer kernel

 

[nidhish91]

I see this thread after my 16hours of high time and 5 pages

Quarx you've given us new hopes again. Thank you.

Why?
We can make our own! Moto gave us the source(idk how correct the source is)

And stop saying "Port Kernel"! U can't do that u have make it from source with proper device tree!

guys we should not forget 1 thing --
the guy who made custom kernel boot with working RIL , hasnt yet released his source code yet .. so its not fully certain........ ,( u know what i mean ) ,

so lets wait for source code

He said as soon as he cleans the code and everything hewill release it. Also Quarx already started working on kernal so i guesd he has the files
