[KERNEL]CM7 Custom Kernel [5-5-2011]Smartass, aufs, Compcache/Swap

[qzem]

it's oc'd to 768 by default. whadya flash, my bastardized zip ? tosha's? or the one in the first post? flashed mine on 7.0.3 with no problems. i see you've made a post about it on the nightlies thread. i'll post a reply there instead...

I've flashed the one you've posted (drowningkernel-8-8-BFS_mod.zip). Maybe I've got reboots cause it is already overclocked. I think you should post the one which is not overcloked, but still hass the frequency table, so if we like, we could overclocked by ourself. I know I had problems with reboots when I was using overclokeing together with Java script, so maybe this was an issue now too.

EDIT: Or you could just tell me if I can edit some file in your zip by myself, to change frequency to 600MHz

Not in the zip per se. You have to set frequency via sysfs using runparts (init.rd) as soon as possible in the boot process.

Is it possible to simply add or replace files from cm7 zip with the ones that are in kernel zip? And then flash whole rom.

I guess not. The problem is that CM's kernel defaults to ondemand governor which has set min/max (boot) speed in its configuration. However if this kernel defaults to smartass and has no min/max (boot) speed set, it boosts to the max defined OC speed which might not be good for your particular processor. So it is imperative to set the max speed manually via some init.d script to some sane speed which your processor will cope with. You just need to to add that speed setting into some init.d script.

EDIT: Ahh I see it boots with interactive governor set. It says that max boot speed is 768 MHz but I can't confirm that coz there's no source available for this kernel...

If I'm not mistaken, it would work if i put this line in 00banner file:

echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq.

AM I right?

I just tried this on the latest nightly. I don't have wifi and also wifi tether. Shows error... need some help here.

I don't have bootloop tho.

^ try attached zip, bro. still based off drowningchild's & tosha15's wlan drivers. he's cooking up a new one though. leme know how it goes, will you?

Something like that, yes.

 

[skyboyextreme]

can some one tell me where the touch screen driver is located in this custom kernel ?!

 

[BlaY0]

How do you mean where?

@Maxq1
OK, here's what I've tested. I flash your attached kernel with wifi driver. Wifi only was fine until I do wifi tether. Wifi tether will give me error. Than wifi also gives error. Need to reboot to fix the wifi.

note: I'm using nightly 137. Let me try 141 and come back here.

Flashed kernel with CWM only to get a freeze at entering sim unlock pin.

does it support ext4?

 

[Rapier]

does it support ext4?

YES. I've used it with TGM's data2ext4

 

[psyionx]

i'm still having wifi AP error.... is it just me or i'm doing this wrong.

 

[DooMMeeR]

I had the same problem when using this kernel
also couldn't I connect to WPA(2) Enterprise networks

but even with stock CM7 I am having WiFi issues (it hangs from time to time and can only be recovred by turning WiFi off and then on again

the source is available on my github
i have stopped work on this kernel back in july
when booting up it uses interactive and the standard boot freqs as cm7 then as soon as its booted its 120-768

 

[baraks]

does this kernal fix the GPS problem on the CM7 ROM?

 

[maxq1]

^ no. in general, gps should work just fine on cm7

 

[baraks]

^ no. in general, gps should work just fine on cm7

in general on CM7 nightly 176 the GPS doesn't work for me...
