[GPL]2.6.29.6 BFS Kernel V6 Update 10/17/10

[Conap]

Decadenc3 as you all know has been working on some kernel stuff for us. Tonight he took my kernel source(which wasn't much past htc's) and added his patches too it. I have not flashed this one but did compile from the same source and kernel seems to be working good so I thought I would put it up for others to try out since there seemed to be some interest in his work from an earlier thread about his kernel. This kernel package is flashable through recovery.

V2
Ok I added BFS to 318 and changed default governer to ondemand. I have flashed this and am running it now.
v3
BFS to .330
update script now wipes davlik/cache automatically for you
sorry for the back to back updates there(was planning to stop after first one lol)
V4
Undervolted to try and improve battery life
V5
Gps stable with bfs now thanks to Decad3nce
Some scheduling updates
Check commits on github here.
V6
CIFS support added
BFS reverted to 318 for stability
Camera freezing bug fixed
Other things updated from .32 and .34 backports
More thanks to Decad3nce and all the other great kernel guys that i can pull commits from to put this together.
Download BFSv6 here.

You sure it's flashable from recovery?

I get

E:Wrong Digest:

meta-in/com/google/android/updater-script
e: verification failed

???

I decided to be brave and try this also, I get the same error here too.

 

[Hungry Man]

I'm not sure if I should try to fastboot it?

 

[Conap]

Same here.

maybe i broke the sig on it while uploading it...try fastbooting this one or putting it into the anykernel flashable zip if you have that...2.6.29.6 BFS

 

[wilshyre]

Not familiar with too many flashboot commands.. can you tell me the command I would use? I know everything else, don't need a step by step.. just a command please.

Just to clarify, the BFS version in this is only at .302
I'll push the rest of my BFS patches tonight(to .316).

The main changes in this kernel really are the patch up to 2.6.29.6, the addition of the bfq i/o sched, the addition of the interactive cpu governor, the backport of the bluetooth(from .34), and other things you can notice in the commits.

It's more of a, 'getting you guys up to date' type of thing.

I was hoping kaos would do this before he applied my BFS patch, but I'm guessing he's having compilation problems(or from what I've read); and the missing stuff(the stuff I just patched in) is probably why.

Developer Notes:
I had some trouble with the serial drivers, choosing instead to revert a few changes from the bluetooth backport so I could get a clean compile. If anyone is willing to test bluetooth capability and function, please let me know how it goes.

ok i resigned the first one so hopefully that will fix it...if you want to fastboot it you can just do

fastboot boot zImage (will revert to previous kernel on reboot) or
fastboot flash zimage zImage (will replace old kernel)

You could just use the anykernel update.zip that I provided the last time I compiled a kernel here.

It'll work with ANY rom regardless of ramdisk changes.

The only conflicts you'll see is something that was 'froyorized' in 2.1 ROMs.

Thanks again! If the sig verification fails again I will flash via fastboot.

Decadence.. you rock. Thanks much.
