This is a kernel, build from the recently released saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source.
Compatible with all ICS (Android 4) + Sense (3.6, 4A or 4) based ROMs
OFFICIAL MIUIv4 and Stock rooted ICS users can enjoy init.d scripts support with this kernel
​
Enjoy!​
BACK2BASICS EDITION​
FEATURES​

  • Interactive Aroma Installer
  • Completely Stock code, with only 2 additions by me:
    • Configurable sweep2wake.
    • Ported bcmdhd wireless driver from the HTC One V latest source code for better reception and no wakelocks. Still breaks WiFi tethering in ROMs based on Sense 3.6. Tethering works fine in Sense 4
  • Completely Stock ramdisk. The only changes are:
    • Unsecured boot.img (adb remount and USB debugging)
    • Busybox run-parts (init.d scripts) support
    • Some extra lines, required for the proper operation of the new WiFi driver
  • No OC, UV, optimizations or any other changes.
  • Compiled with the recommended by HTC toolchain 4.4.3

ISSUES​

  • For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
  • due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
  • NEW USERS: before flashing install/update BusyBox in /system/xbin (with some of the apps available in the Google Play - the one by Stericsson+Smart Install worked fine for me) and check for the existence of the busybox binary and run-parts symlink in the /system/xbin folder on your device. If there is no such files install/reinstall BusyBox until you have it.
  • OPTIONAL: If you do not have an /system/etc/init.d folder AND you want to use additional modules you should create it manually BEFORE flashing the kernel:
    adb remount
    adb shell
    mkdir /system/etc/init.d
    chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d
    ​

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION​
Download: b2b_3-0-16.zip
md5sum: d5bd32bd12a0e1120b03f800eaf1beda

S-OFF users: flash in recovery, no wipe required. Follow the instructions

HTCDEV users: flash in recovery, no wipe required; follow the instructions, reboot straight to bootloader and flash the corresponding to your ROM boot.img (extract it from the zip) with th following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot XXX_boot.img
​
IMPORTANT (HTCdev users): if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
​

Boot images are:
  • Sense4_boot.img - for all Sense4 based ROMs (Fallout, ProjectX, Cooldroid, Sabsa Prime, Desire XS, ViperSaga, others)

  • Custom_Sense36_boot.img - for ICE_DS, Stock ICS by masteross, or other custom Sense 3.6 ROM without lib partition

  • Stock_Sense36_boot.img - for Ice Cream Saga or clean RUU/PG88IMG (that keeps S-OFF and Recovery) install (rooted)

  • MIUIv4_boot.img - for any version of official MIUIv4

NOTES:
  • There is no boot.img for Virtuous Infinity since it cannot operate smooth with the Stock CPU settings
  • If sweep2wake takes screenshot upon screen off in this version you have to modify your build.prop manually (see above)

PATCHED KERNEL 3.0.89​

Due to controversial feedback on Tweaked kernel starting from version 5.0 I have decided to take a different approach.

Patched kernel unifies the concept of both Tweaked3 and B2B kernels.

So what does this mean?

The HTC source is taken as a base and is synced completely with the upstream (the official Android kernel 3.0) where applicable. Since it is patched only up to 3.0.72 the rest of the patches are taken directly from the Linux kernel upstream.

All is done from scratch and revising every single commit (it took me 4 days to complete this only). The result is absolutely clean merge (not as in Tweaked where I took the patches from other developers without actually knowing have they screw up something in the progress). During the patching I have discovered some misses or copy-paste from 3.4 upstream (which I consider for another generation devices and probably the changes from there are not completely suitable for our device). I have cleaned and synced with the 3.0 upstream all not-updated files that I discovered during the patching.
​

FEATURES​
The features of the kernel are the basic ones from Tweaked, but staying as close as possible to the Stock configuration (B2B concept):

  • Interactive Aroma Installer
  • Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 toolchain
  • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.89
  • Synced with Android kernel 3.0 upstream
  • Overclockable to 1.5 GHz
  • Added VDD sysfs interface for userspace UV control
  • Stock Frequencies and Voltages
  • Default governor: INTERACTIVE @ 254 - 1024 MHz
  • Interactive governor updated from android 3.4 upstream
  • Default scheduler: DEADLINE
  • Configurable Sweep2Wake
  • Fixed WiFi tethering on Sense 4 based ROMs
  • Updated WiFi drvier from HTC One V source
  • Built-in CIFS support
  • Built-in TUN support
  • Built-in NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
  • Optional WiFi calling
  • Two way call recording - both WAV and AMR
  • Enabled USB OTG HOST (big thanks to astro757 and engelmarkus)
  • Enabled SWAP support

ISSUES​

  • If your WiFi does not work upon install check this solution /10x to toxic-hero/
  • Sometimes the sweep2wake does not work instantly after deep sleep period. Just swipe once more to unlock the device or press the search button.
  • due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to false manually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
  • For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery

USEFUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READ​
Overclocking applications, reported to work:

If you are in doubt which governor and IO scheduler to use - there is a lot of useful info here (thanks to Tectas and the authors)

  • SetCPU
  • Voltage Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
  • No-frills CPU Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
  • Daemon Controller app + andrev_oc script
    • note1: there is virtuous_oc on Virtuous Infinity already, so you can use only the Daemon Controller app
    • note2: oc daemons are not supporting scheduler changing
  • undervolting can be done with a command from Terminal Emulator or adb shell:
    echo -X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
    ​
    where X is the desired value (-25, -50, -75, -100, -125 or whatever you like). Unfortunately has to be repeated after every reboot since putting it in an init.d script is risky
  • Originally posted by engelmarkus
    Hi,
    I played around with the experimental branch of your kernel once more and today it works perfectly.
    Keyboards, mice and USB storage devices work without any messing with the terminal. For almost-auto-mounting I used this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....shajul.usbotg
    So I think you can very well enable this in your next kernel version so others can try this out, too.​

CHANGELOG​

  • 16 Dec 2012: Tweaked3 XI:
    • Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7.3-2012.11 toolchain
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.56
    • Upstream update of interactive governor change speed routine
    • Enabled TINY_PREEMPT_RCU - should give small-memory-footprint on uniprocessor systems (where all processing tasks share a single CPU)

  • 23 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 10.0 (X):
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.52
    • Removed all third party governors
    • Removed BFQ, VR and CFQ schedulers
    • Tweaked SIO for better performance on Android
    • All modules built-in, except the one for WiFi Calling (kineto-gan.ko - optional)
    • No more init.d scripts, except for sweep2wake
    • During installation a /system/etc/init.d folder will be created, with the right permissions on ROMs that do not have such

  • 09 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 9.0:
    • Compiled with the latest Linaro Toolchain 4.7.3-2012.10
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.51 (10x to oliverclaude)
    • Ondemand and Interactive governors synced to upstream (10x to Andromadus)
    • Scheduler improvements (10x to faux123)

  • 16 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.6:
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.46
    • Updated BFQ code to v5 (10x to Andromadus repo)
    • 2WCR now makes recording in WAV format (10x to Andromadus repo)
    • BCMDHD wireless driver is updated to the latest HTC One V source - there are some changes related to the Country Codes, so please anyone that has such issues to try it without WiFi FIx app and report
    • Initialization of the wireless modules moved to ramdisk, no need of init.d script to run them anymore, so new users can skip that part and go straight to flashing!

  • 10 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.5:
    • Patched to Linux Kernel 3.0.45
    • Added ck1 patchset by Ziggy (thx to Coolexe) - aims towards better performance
    • Removed ZRAM - it seems that the compression was the reason for the battery drain
    • Removed the script for changing the screencapture line in build prop from Aroma, hopefully this will solve the installation issues. You will have to change it manually if needed

  • 01 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.0:
    • Aroma installer - one file for all. No need to do any preparations anymore (like changes of the updater-script, etc) The installer will gather the important information about your ROM and hboot and the flashing process will be done accordingly.
    • HTCDEV users: there are instructions in the first post which boot.img to flash. Important: if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
    • All governors are tuned up according to the CPU frequencies (should have done it long time ago, sorry for the delay). OndemandX (proved unstable) and Userspace (doubt that anyone even uses it) governors removed
    • CIFS, TUN, KINETO_GAN, NTFS+NLS_UTF8 and ZRAM moved to modules for optional install (the installer will give you a menu for selection, where the purpose of each module is explained)
    • Updated LZO compression/decompression method for ZRAM (it sould be at least twice faster now)
    • TREE_RCU and SLAB memory allocator set as default (as it was in the Stock kernel).

  • 21 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 7.1:
    • Patched to Linux kernel version 3.0.43
    • Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7-2012.08 toolchain
    • Added VDD sysfs interface (10x to lowveld) for userspace UV control (comes with Stock Voltages by default)
    • Added BrazilianWax, InteractiveX and OndemandX governors
    • All modules except bcmdhd.ko are built-in in the kernel
    • Finally found the reason of the battery drain when the Screen is ON and hopefully fixed it. Now the battery life should be rock solid
    • Flashable zips should be fixed for good. They now will wipe dalvik-cache and cache during flash, no need to do it manually. Version 5.0 zips are backwards compatible (this means you can flash version 5 over version 7.1 without additional actions (deleting or moving files)

  • 05 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 6.0:
    • Added bcmdhd WiFi driver and fix WiFi Tethering on Sense 4 ROMs (10x to m0narx)
    • Flashable zips are back!
    • Comes is two flavors - undervolted -100 and Stock voltages

  • 02 Sep 2012: Tweaked 5.0:
    • Built with Linaro toolchain
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.42

    • SLUB is the default memory allocator
    • Added tun.ko module (use 51-modules init.d script to load it)
    • Added cifs.ko module (use 51-modules init.d script to load it)
    • Enabled full capacity charge in non-OEM chargers (e.g. some car chargers)
    • Enabled NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
    • Enabled PPP_ASYNC and PPP_SYNC_TTY
    • Enabled ZRAM - adds another 100 MB to your RAM as a SWAP partition (use 52-zram init.d script to load it)
    • Enabled USB-OTG (needs confirmation, since I do not have the necessary equipment) - not working

  • 27 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.7:
    • Expanded frequency table - to give the CPU more steps until the highest frequency
    • Slight undervolting to save some battery life
    • Fixed backlight staying on when pressing only home button when s2w with backlights enabled (10x to scan6 for the heads up)
    • Default clock frequency is 1024 MHz for everyone that requested it
    • Enabled init.d support in the MIUIv4 version (now you can use the 50-sweep2wake script too)
    • Separate installation files and instructions for S-ON (hboot 2.00.0002) and S-OFF (hboot 0.98.2000, 2.00.2002, 7.xx) users

  • 25 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.0:

    • Source code published @github

  • 21 Aug 2012: Initial release
    • Based on the released by HTC saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source
    • Added Sweep2wake functionalit
    • Overclocked to 1,5 GHz
ISSUES​

  • due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer.

Shouldnt make any harm going to 1.5.
Now the kernel source, is https://github.com/showp1984/bricked-shooteru-ics-sense what you releasing? if no you need to release the exact kernel source you using, laws :p
I dont want any saga dev to have issues

Edit:

More then that, some devices comes with stock 1.5 with same processor :p but remember, the more you put, the less battery :p

:) Good point

Yes the changes for sweep2wake are the same, made by showp1984, unmodified by me
And yes, this is the stock OC, I have just enabled it for the time being.
I am pretty sure that soon there will be much more tweaked and polished kernels made by the experienced devs, but since most of them are taking summer holidays I compiled this one for playing with Sense 4 until they come back to development :)

Hi, is there a way to revert it to stock? Thanks.

Yes you can always flash the original boot.img of the ROM that you are using via fastboot. Then copy the bcm4329.ko and kineto_gan.ko of your original ROM to /system/lib/modules with any root file explorer. To restore the stock screenshot feature change the value ro.htc.framework.screencapture from false to true in your build.prop

    This is a kernel, build from the recently released saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source.
    Compatible with all ICS (Android 4) + Sense (3.6, 4A or 4) based ROMs
    OFFICIAL MIUIv4 and Stock rooted ICS users can enjoy init.d scripts support with this kernel
    ​
    Enjoy!​
    BACK2BASICS EDITION​
    FEATURES​

    • Interactive Aroma Installer
    • Completely Stock code, with only 2 additions by me:
      • Configurable sweep2wake.
      • Ported bcmdhd wireless driver from the HTC One V latest source code for better reception and no wakelocks. Still breaks WiFi tethering in ROMs based on Sense 3.6. Tethering works fine in Sense 4
    • Completely Stock ramdisk. The only changes are:
      • Unsecured boot.img (adb remount and USB debugging)
      • Busybox run-parts (init.d scripts) support
      • Some extra lines, required for the proper operation of the new WiFi driver
    • No OC, UV, optimizations or any other changes.
    • Compiled with the recommended by HTC toolchain 4.4.3

    ISSUES​

    • For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
    • due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
    • NEW USERS: before flashing install/update BusyBox in /system/xbin (with some of the apps available in the Google Play - the one by Stericsson+Smart Install worked fine for me) and check for the existence of the busybox binary and run-parts symlink in the /system/xbin folder on your device. If there is no such files install/reinstall BusyBox until you have it.
    • OPTIONAL: If you do not have an /system/etc/init.d folder AND you want to use additional modules you should create it manually BEFORE flashing the kernel:
      adb remount
      adb shell
      mkdir /system/etc/init.d
      chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d
      ​

    Download: b2b_3-0-16.zip
    md5sum: d5bd32bd12a0e1120b03f800eaf1beda

    S-OFF users: flash in recovery, no wipe required. Follow the instructions

    HTCDEV users: flash in recovery, no wipe required; follow the instructions, reboot straight to bootloader and flash the corresponding to your ROM boot.img (extract it from the zip) with th following commands:
    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot erase boot
    fastboot flash boot XXX_boot.img
    ​
    IMPORTANT (HTCdev users): if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
    ​

    Boot images are:
    • Sense4_boot.img - for all Sense4 based ROMs (Fallout, ProjectX, Cooldroid, Sabsa Prime, Desire XS, ViperSaga, others)

    • Custom_Sense36_boot.img - for ICE_DS, Stock ICS by masteross, or other custom Sense 3.6 ROM without lib partition

    • Stock_Sense36_boot.img - for Ice Cream Saga or clean RUU/PG88IMG (that keeps S-OFF and Recovery) install (rooted)

    • MIUIv4_boot.img - for any version of official MIUIv4

    NOTES:
    • There is no boot.img for Virtuous Infinity since it cannot operate smooth with the Stock CPU settings
    • If sweep2wake takes screenshot upon screen off in this version you have to modify your build.prop manually (see above)

    PATCHED KERNEL 3.0.89​

    Due to controversial feedback on Tweaked kernel starting from version 5.0 I have decided to take a different approach.

    Patched kernel unifies the concept of both Tweaked3 and B2B kernels.

    So what does this mean?

    The HTC source is taken as a base and is synced completely with the upstream (the official Android kernel 3.0) where applicable. Since it is patched only up to 3.0.72 the rest of the patches are taken directly from the Linux kernel upstream.

    All is done from scratch and revising every single commit (it took me 4 days to complete this only). The result is absolutely clean merge (not as in Tweaked where I took the patches from other developers without actually knowing have they screw up something in the progress). During the patching I have discovered some misses or copy-paste from 3.4 upstream (which I consider for another generation devices and probably the changes from there are not completely suitable for our device). I have cleaned and synced with the 3.0 upstream all not-updated files that I discovered during the patching.
    ​

    FEATURES​
    The features of the kernel are the basic ones from Tweaked, but staying as close as possible to the Stock configuration (B2B concept):

    • Interactive Aroma Installer
    • Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 toolchain
    • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.89
    • Synced with Android kernel 3.0 upstream
    • Overclockable to 1.5 GHz
    • Added VDD sysfs interface for userspace UV control
    • Stock Frequencies and Voltages
    • Default governor: INTERACTIVE @ 254 - 1024 MHz
    • Interactive governor updated from android 3.4 upstream
    • Default scheduler: DEADLINE
    • Configurable Sweep2Wake
    • Fixed WiFi tethering on Sense 4 based ROMs
    • Updated WiFi drvier from HTC One V source
    • Built-in CIFS support
    • Built-in TUN support
    • Built-in NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
    • Optional WiFi calling
    • Two way call recording - both WAV and AMR
    • Enabled USB OTG HOST (big thanks to astro757 and engelmarkus)
    • Enabled SWAP support

    ISSUES​

    • If your WiFi does not work upon install check this solution /10x to toxic-hero/
    • Sometimes the sweep2wake does not work instantly after deep sleep period. Just swipe once more to unlock the device or press the search button.
    • due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to false manually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
    • For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery

    USEFUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READ​
    Overclocking applications, reported to work:

    If you are in doubt which governor and IO scheduler to use - there is a lot of useful info here (thanks to Tectas and the authors)

    • SetCPU
    • Voltage Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
    • No-frills CPU Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
    • Daemon Controller app + andrev_oc script
      • note1: there is virtuous_oc on Virtuous Infinity already, so you can use only the Daemon Controller app
      • note2: oc daemons are not supporting scheduler changing
    • undervolting can be done with a command from Terminal Emulator or adb shell:
      echo -X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
      ​
      where X is the desired value (-25, -50, -75, -100, -125 or whatever you like). Unfortunately has to be repeated after every reboot since putting it in an init.d script is risky

      Hi,
      I played around with the experimental branch of your kernel once more and today it works perfectly.
      Keyboards, mice and USB storage devices work without any messing with the terminal. For almost-auto-mounting I used this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....shajul.usbotg
      So I think you can very well enable this in your next kernel version so others can try this out, too.​

    CHANGELOG​

    • 16 Dec 2012: Tweaked3 XI:
      • Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7.3-2012.11 toolchain
      • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.56
      • Upstream update of interactive governor change speed routine
      • Enabled TINY_PREEMPT_RCU - should give small-memory-footprint on uniprocessor systems (where all processing tasks share a single CPU)

    • 23 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 10.0 (X):
      • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.52
      • Removed all third party governors
      • Removed BFQ, VR and CFQ schedulers
      • Tweaked SIO for better performance on Android
      • All modules built-in, except the one for WiFi Calling (kineto-gan.ko - optional)
      • No more init.d scripts, except for sweep2wake
      • During installation a /system/etc/init.d folder will be created, with the right permissions on ROMs that do not have such

    • 09 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 9.0:
      • Compiled with the latest Linaro Toolchain 4.7.3-2012.10
      • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.51 (10x to oliverclaude)
      • Ondemand and Interactive governors synced to upstream (10x to Andromadus)
      • Scheduler improvements (10x to faux123)

    • 16 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.6:
      • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.46
      • Updated BFQ code to v5 (10x to Andromadus repo)
      • 2WCR now makes recording in WAV format (10x to Andromadus repo)
      • BCMDHD wireless driver is updated to the latest HTC One V source - there are some changes related to the Country Codes, so please anyone that has such issues to try it without WiFi FIx app and report
      • Initialization of the wireless modules moved to ramdisk, no need of init.d script to run them anymore, so new users can skip that part and go straight to flashing!

    • 10 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.5:
      • Patched to Linux Kernel 3.0.45
      • Added ck1 patchset by Ziggy (thx to Coolexe) - aims towards better performance
      • Removed ZRAM - it seems that the compression was the reason for the battery drain
      • Removed the script for changing the screencapture line in build prop from Aroma, hopefully this will solve the installation issues. You will have to change it manually if needed

    • 01 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.0:
      • Aroma installer - one file for all. No need to do any preparations anymore (like changes of the updater-script, etc) The installer will gather the important information about your ROM and hboot and the flashing process will be done accordingly.
      • HTCDEV users: there are instructions in the first post which boot.img to flash. Important: if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
      • All governors are tuned up according to the CPU frequencies (should have done it long time ago, sorry for the delay). OndemandX (proved unstable) and Userspace (doubt that anyone even uses it) governors removed
      • CIFS, TUN, KINETO_GAN, NTFS+NLS_UTF8 and ZRAM moved to modules for optional install (the installer will give you a menu for selection, where the purpose of each module is explained)
      • Updated LZO compression/decompression method for ZRAM (it sould be at least twice faster now)
      • TREE_RCU and SLAB memory allocator set as default (as it was in the Stock kernel).

    • 21 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 7.1:
      • Patched to Linux kernel version 3.0.43
      • Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7-2012.08 toolchain
      • Added VDD sysfs interface (10x to lowveld) for userspace UV control (comes with Stock Voltages by default)
      • Added BrazilianWax, InteractiveX and OndemandX governors
      • All modules except bcmdhd.ko are built-in in the kernel
      • Finally found the reason of the battery drain when the Screen is ON and hopefully fixed it. Now the battery life should be rock solid
      • Flashable zips should be fixed for good. They now will wipe dalvik-cache and cache during flash, no need to do it manually. Version 5.0 zips are backwards compatible (this means you can flash version 5 over version 7.1 without additional actions (deleting or moving files)

    • 05 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 6.0:
      • Added bcmdhd WiFi driver and fix WiFi Tethering on Sense 4 ROMs (10x to m0narx)
      • Flashable zips are back!

      • Enabled NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
      • Enabled PPP_ASYNC and PPP_SYNC_TTY
      • Enabled ZRAM - adds another 100 MB to your RAM as a SWAP partition (use 52-zram init.d script to load it)
      • Enabled USB-OTG (needs confirmation, since I do not have the necessary equipment) - not working

    • 27 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.7:
      • Expanded frequency table - to give the CPU more steps until the highest frequency
      • Slight undervolting to save some battery life
      • Fixed backlight staying on when pressing only home button when s2w with backlights enabled (10x to scan6 for the heads up)
      • Default clock frequency is 1024 MHz for everyone that requested it
      • Enabled init.d support in the MIUIv4 version (now you can use the 50-sweep2wake script too)
      • Separate installation files and instructions for S-ON (hboot 2.00.0002) and S-OFF (hboot 0.98.2000, 2.00.2002, 7.xx) users

      • Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.30
      • Added support for MIUIv4 and Virtuous Infinity
      • Source code published @github

    • 21 Aug 2012: Initial release
      • Based on the released by HTC saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source
      • Added Sweep2wake functionalit

    Re: [KERNEL][05 Feb 2013] B2B |&| Patched [ICS Sense][MIUIv4]

    Announcement :)

    Hi all!

    Due to shortage of free time recently I am slowly abandon my work on all kernels. Also my personal testing and the community feedback shows that the recent upstream changes are affecting the performance and could cause instabily of our devices. I cannot spare time to search for issues and fix them, moreover I think this is beyond my knowledge. All the recent versions will be available at the dev-host mirror at least for the next six months for those who like to play and experiment. I hope that you will find there the best kernel that suits your needs.
    Overall I recommend to use a lightweight ROM with Sense 4 and B2B kernel which is my personal choice as well.
    Thank you all for the support and feedback during the past 6 months it was a great pleasure to work on this progect and I have learned a lot about how things work on low level.
    I am still browsing the forum actively and will do my best to share the gained knowledge when needed and I hope to work on a JB Sense kernel when the appropriate sources are available.
    Thank you all once again and I hope you enjoyed my work as much as I did!

    Best regards,
    Stefan

    Task Manager issues fixed.

    For those who care it was indeed an issue with the upstream code (Linux kernel patches), but for older one: 3.0.43. It was fixed by a EVO 3D kernel developer anryl and commited by Coolexe (his Github repo is my main source for upstream patches). I have unintentionally reverted the fix while cleaning up.

    So the link in the first post is updated. Go go go :)

    And as always: Enjoy! :)

    Version 8.0

    Hi guys!
    I have spend the past week in a complete revision of the kernel code and testing. I hope this version has been polished enough in any direction to gain a "Stable" status.

    Main changes:
    • Aroma installer - one file for all. No need to do any preparations anymore (like changes of the updater-script, etc) The installer will gather the important information about your ROM and hboot and the flashing process will be done accordingly.
      HTCDEV users: there are instructions in the first post which boot.img to flash. Important: if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
    • All governors are tuned up according to the CPU frequencies (should have done it long time ago, sorry for the delay). OndemandX (proved unstable) and Userspace (doubt that anyone even uses it) governors removed
    • CIFS, TUN, KINETO_GAN, NTFS+NLS_UTF8 and ZRAM moved to modules for optional install (the installer will give you a menu for selection, where the purpose of each module is explained)
    • Updated LZO compression/decompression method for ZRAM (it sould be at least twice faster now)
    • TREE_RCU and SLAB memory allocator set as default (as it was in the Stock kernel).

    Flash, test, comment, recommend!

    Enjoy!
