reserved for later

 

[er_popo]

sure to more than one is interested, at least not because I use ami gsm, a health

 

[Leraeniesh]

Can't wait to see a CM7 compatible version of the CDMA kernel. Keep up the awesome work!

[007shark]

I will definitely test this when I get home from work tonight.

well i flashed it and its been on the kernel load screen for like 5 minutes now doubting its going to boot ill let it sit for 10 minutes and post an update

and before anyone asks i have an r800x on 2.3.3 from OTA update so that means i have the right fw right?


*update* got sick of looking at the really cool grim reaper android and flashed the 1.6ghz version saddly it appears this may not boot either

*update 2* no luck with the 1.6 ghz version either flashed back to v3 of your gsm kernel where i have everything but wifi

 

[007shark]

I also get stuck at the splash screen with the GrimDroid. The recovery is working and I really like the new red recovery text. I just pulled the battery and powered back on and still stuck at GrimDroid. I tried the 1.6GHz one on verizon 2.3.3 firmware. I don't think it would make a difference for me to flash the 3.0.1.A.0.145 firmware because I am not even getting to the boot animation.

EDIT: BTW, here is the verizon stock wifi module from 2.3.3 3.0.1.E.0.88 firmware. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35097081/bcm4329.ko

[PLAY][CDMA] WIFI MODULES for DooMKernel (v01)

WIFI MODULES for stock kernel



this version booted up on my R800i so i think it will (hopefully) work on R800x


i am using older ramdisk from my .468 FW GSM kernel



please test and let me know asap!

Boots and as far as i can tell everything works perfectly thank you soo much for this doom finally have wifi and a camera. only complaints not using grimdroid splash screen and soo many I/O schedulers and governors idk what one to choose anymore lol.

 

[NeoandGeo]

Curious about this. About to try it on 007s modified UK rom.

Also, yeah. What is the best combination for i/o and governor. Just flashed it, camera and wifi seem to work ok, and chose noop i/o, and lagfee governor to test first.

 

[007shark]

This is also working with the stock verizon 2.3.3 firmware. Overclocking is working confirmed with CPU Spy. Wifi and camera are working.

EDIT: Finally a reason for R800x users to get their bootloaders unlocked.

 

[DooMLoRD]

great


now i will make a proper "final" version with newest recovery and new logo

hold on for few minutes

 

[DooMLoRD]

v01-FINAL

this version booted up on my R800i so i think it will (hopefully) work on R800x


i am using older ramdisk from my .468 FW GSM kernel with all new stuff (new recovery, new logo, etc )

 

[bladestonez]

Well after several hours of using this everything has been fine except I had one random shut down, running stock frequencies, conservative governor and noop i/p scheduler. Same settings I used with the v3 kernel no issues.

thank you very much! it works really well! are you going to be mantaining this along side the gsm kernel? i really hope so. I'm loving the 2ghz kernel! I went and bought the pay version of xcharge reboot to show my support.

i have one question though, is there a way to boot into recovery while the kernel is loading like you can in cm7's kernel? when the free xperia logo is showing if you just mash all the keys randomly it'll bring up their cwm instead of the rom. is it possible with your kernel?

i've tried it for about 45 minutes now with no problems. It's working flawlessly. i've done some stress testing, checked out the new cpu governors and it's all good so far. I'll respond back if i come across any problems though.

thanks for all your hard work and keep it up! i really appreciate it.

Yeah I've been trying for the last 20 minutes to get into recovery nothing works about to go back to v3 so I can make backups

buddy i could enter recovery at the first go...

u just need to watch the LED notification (at power button) as soon as it turns BLUE keep pressing BACK button


BTW i tested only on R800i

 

[xrishox]

i can't get into the recovery menu either. I've tried holding down the back button as soon as it turns blue, i've tried pressing it really fast as soon as it turns blue, i've tried pressing it in slower intervals as soon as it turns blue and i've tried pressing it repeatedly from the time i hit the power button, and nothing seems to put it into the recovery menu.
