Github:

I now consider this Release Candidate quality. Please do report issues (with logcats and dmesgs). Check the known bugs, etc, etc.

https://github.com/s0be/cm-kernel

the -amonra zip is for recoveries that don't take the FS type as the first argument of mount(...) If the regular zip fails complaining about missing files, try the -amonra version.

Latest official version:


If that download doesn't work for you, your OS likely has a broken ipv6 stack. Please check that you have ipv6 disabled if you don't actually have an ipv6 connection.

What works:

  • Ram console
  • Keypad
  • Screen
  • Touchscreen
  • GPS
  • Compass
  • G-Sensor
  • nand
  • Early Suspend
  • Bluetooth
  • Headset Detection
  • Camera

What Doesn't work or hasn't been tested:

Thanks to:
Elemag for the initial Hero 2.6.35 port, with Erasmux as a major contributor, Decadence for the 2.6.34/35 heroc board files, and riemervdzee for his pointers at fixes needed to get it working and his continued drive to get this kernel full featured and stable, and everyone they pulled from (Darch, Toast, Cyanogen, etc, etc). If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know the names to add.

See first post for current. This is just historic releases.

Unfortunally the current .35 build for the Hero GSM version is slower than any .29 kernel.
But yeah, seems we have to reimplement a lot of optimalisations.

It is nice that we actually get something out of the HeroC though :)

There are other advantages of course, we have to remember. Performance is king, but features are definitely queen. Getting to a recent kernel (2.6.29 is coming up on 2 years old), makes future updates to Heroc a lot easier. Going to up-to-date drivers may allow us to eliminate some of the binary cruft from the Heroc tree, etc, etc.

Two things I've tried:

1. In the xda "hero" dev forum, there was a post that there was a problem with the newer (>.34) yaffs2 code, and you needed to boot and wipe using a 1.7 RA recovery. So, I copied the yaffs2 code from deca's .29 kernel. It then oopsed at 1017 in msm_fb, which was the ifdef'd line for HERO.

2. So, I added "&& !defined(CONFIG_MACH_HEROC)" to line 1016. It then still rebooted, but last_kmsg was different after "vsync on gpio 97 now 0":

Don't know if this helps or not. BTW, I'm using Firerats's custom MTD partitions, so I modified the boot parameters.

yeah, I had that fixed in my tree, forgot to commit the || -> && change I didn't do that yaffs2 change, but I just tested it with identical results.

Sweet. I'll spend more time on it this weekend. Swamped with homework atm.

Hopefully we'll have something super stable! :eek:

S0be, i was wondering your opinion, once this kernel is completed and we get GB running smoothly, will the supposed 2.4 GB update break everything that is already working or just maybe the new stuff will have to be worked in properly?

The smd stuff is because it used to call both v1 and v2 alloc, and as long as one succeeded, it was OK. Now it's ifdef'd to use different code depending on if CONFIG_MSM_SMD_PKG3 is set or not. Looks like the package 4 code is what works on heroc. With that change, the smd code works.


[ 3.684967] smd_alloc_channel() cid=01 size=08192 'SMD_DIAG'
[ 3.686340] smd_alloc_channel() cid=02 size=08192 'SMD_RPCCALL'

etc. Then it's the i2c failures:

[ 3.841674] msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: Error during data xfer 1e (-5)
[ 3.852203] msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: error, status 63c8

and oops:

    Hi.

    This is a test kernel based on a combination of the s0be/riemer board files and other mods applied to the CyanogenMod cm-kernel android-msm-2.6.35-unified branch. It does not have smartass (not working yet), but the camera seems to work consistently for me on both interactive and ondemand. Still very much an early effort, but thought I would post for anyone interested. Once I have completed a little cleanup, I will post the sources to github.

    Flash from recovery, and remember nandroid is your friend.

    standard disclaimer: This is not full featured, and not fast. It does, however, work well enough for me. I only have 1 phone for testing, and i have not tested this thuroughly. It could cause the end f the world, etc etc. May god have mercy on the souls of those who flash this
