[Kernel][Sense][Dec 08] Beastmode-LTE Sweep2Wake | MpDecision [Linaro][Linux 3.0.56]

[Zarboz]

The Beastmode-LTE kernel Project

This is a Kernel for the Evo 4g LTE the source is from HTC with mods by myself. You can find my modified source code at https://github.com/zarboz/EvilZ-Kernel

and at my teams github here
https://bitbucket.org/teamblackout/evilz.213.blackout_edition/


What is a kernel you might ask?

A kernel is the lowest level of easily replaceable software that interfaces with the hardware in your computer. It is responsible for interfacing all of your applications that are running in “user mode” down to the physical hardware, and allowing processes, known as servers, to get information from each other using inter-process communication (IPC).

If you dont see something on future plans that you would like. Please shoot me a message


What is Sweep2wake?

It Allows you to make a Sweeping action along the bottom of your screen to wake or sleep the screen (mimics action of the power button) So just sweep to wake or sleep your phones screen

What is msm_mpdecision?

100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is renamed by the installer to mpdecision_backup.

Check /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.

startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (70000)
delay = time between checks (500)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1 (1)
nwns_threshold_up = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be hotplugged (35)
nwns_threshold_down = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be unplugged (5)
twts_threshold_up = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed (250)
twts_threshold_down = same as above (250)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
idle_freq = a value against that will be checked if a core +/- is requested. (486000)
If cpu0 is below that value and a core up of cpu1 is requested, nothing will happen.
If cpu1 is above that value and a core down of cpu1 is requested, nothing will happen. (otherwise it would now put down cpu1 even though it is still working)

Source is available for you to download and compile. I also have the boot.img's and some handy dandy update.zips for everyone to try out.

i am not responsible for bricks malfunctions or any other hardware issues you may run into while running my software
overclocking does break manufacturers warranty and pushes your devices limits physically....

I HIGHLY suggest you use Kernel Tuner to tune this kernel as you can control your GPU/Sweep2wake/Individual Core control/Mpdecision control/profiles
and its Free!

Special thanks to ExiledLife
he let me guineapig his phone for the first test runs

would like to extend thanks to:
Sbryan12144, Ca1ne, Mdeejay, Faux123, DooMLorD , TwistedUmbrella, Imoseyon. ThickLizard, ToastCFH, Rydah805, The people who donated and continue to donate, and all the great people on XDA

all upstream patches came from kernel.org and were applied using the standard patch command and then cleaning up .rej files as they come
some upstream patches were cherry-picked from github and are noted as such


HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to:
Showp1984 For all his help and for thinking up a great thing like sweep2wake

 

[Zarboz]

Please track all bugs issues here
http://code.google.com/p/this-project-is-zarboz/issues/list
please include rom revision s-off or on status and description of problem
I would appreciate the reporting
ONLY REPORT BUGS FOR MY KERNEL DOWNLOADED FROM THIS THREAD
​

​

The proper format for reporting is on the google code page but please attach the following to your bugreport post:
Adb logcat dump of event
kmesg dump of event < dont know what that is ?? here is a easy way to get it

adb shell dmesg > errorreportdump.txt
this will spawn a .txt file in the directory your shell is in upload this file this will suffice for a stacktrace

If the bug is determined to be a USERSPACE problem i will notify you via the bug tracker and close your issue
otherwise im pretty good about responding i get to it about once every 2 weeks


Common bugs and fixes for them:


Unable to boot
I have started the phone slightly undervolted and due to this it causes some units to fail to boot. This will be resolved in a future release

only try this fix for rc5 and under

Sorry for the delay with this, here is something that might help those who cannot fully boot on this kernel...

It increases the voltage all across the board by 75mv.

Unfortunately I've noticed a giant void in kernel devs in this place so far. Maybe they're just hiding... I dunno.

Its not that its just that the Mods shut down any and all talk about Custom Kernels in this place which is counter progressive if you ask me....

I think I'll fork your github and see what I can do, this is based off the lte's official kernel source correct?

ughhhh miss informed people dont help anyone in the end, and all they do is make things worse too overall...

We have not shut down talk of any and all custom kernels on here....just one and its owners name...this was the result of an AGREEMENT b/w BOTH sides in the matter as they didn't want their name on this site at all.

If you have any questions on the matter PM me...and in the future if you have a complaint or question about anything going on in here, please feel free to ask any of the mods here...were all pretty open


now lets not derail the OP thread here and see if this can get going...

 

[ms79723]

Can I get in on this? And by that, I mean with helping with the kernel. I'm setting up my workstation right now...unfortunately I'm not rooted so this'll be interesting. Gonna have to trust the gut I guess

 

[spankmaster]

Currently you will have to download the source and compile it. Use Git to accomplish this as this is my tool of choice. If this is too much for you please google around to figure out how to achieve this it takes about ten minutes. This thread is not to discuss HOW to compile a kernel but to discuss plans mods and implementation into the current tree. I will work on this off and on until I purchase a Evo LTE next month.

Really? It takes ten minutes with some googling for someone who has never compiled a kernel to setup a linux install (live disc/usb or not), setup a proper environment with all needed bits and learn how to compile? I would love to see this 10 minute guide you speak of.

I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate what you and devs do, but try to throw us peons a bone! The linux community is the most 'elitist' of them all and it makes it very difficult to start and learn. I'm a pretty sharp guy. I'm in school right now for electrical engineering and have already taken a class in c++ where we had to use linux boxes locally and remotely, but I can't find a single SIMPLE and straightforward guide to setting up a kernel compiling environment. I've found many that LOOK simple, but half of the commands the post to copy and paste don't work because they're too old or for whatever reason and then they completely lose us.

I don't want to make this a thread on how to compile like you said, but throwing a link in the OP would really be appreciated because seeing stuff like this without being able to get the help we need to use it is really REALLY frustrating for us 'lesser' users. Thank you so much.

I could compile it for you but chance are it won't boot with it oc that much.

i got nettables fixed im pushing now

having a issue with the keyboard compilation .. stupid because the keyboard doesnt exist on this unit..


have pushed the changes to my GIT

the git is based off HTCs official source and has some mods to it

i have posted source because obviously we have not got a product as of yet..

i am working on getting in touch with the creator of sweep2wake to include it in this code for you guys as i think its a neat feature


i really appreciate the input.. i was going to play some diablo 3 today but i think ill work some more thanks guys

the OC itself just has a roof of 2.13ghz
that high of a table is reported working on other krait boards (one XL etc..) so i figured it was worth a shot

i still have another set of tables at 1.83 ghz as well we can try

this is the error
