hi all

I wonder if the gingerbread kernel can work quietly on my defy mb525 green lens module BAYER. I currently have the CM 7.2 nightly with linux kernel 2.6.32.9 (stock froyo 2.2.2) and I'm wondering if this rom is actually compatible with gingerbread kernel, and then everything would work :cool:.

in my case, the greenbreadmod lead the camera to work without problems on the cyano?

thanks for your support :)

I think so, but i read the log "Detected BAYER device" and 720p does not work. looking better on lamp i see that the lens is green.

Gb kernel on mb 525 have problem with camera and battery

Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
sure it have problem with battery? i want to do this upgrade for improve the battery life, and to make the phone more responsive.

I read that greenbreadmod allows operation of the green lens camera on the gb kernel. by that I could also record video after this upgrade? it's compatible with the cyano?

up :p

I read the 3d started from chachoi : I liked the arpith.fbi's answer, but would like more information about what actually rom works on that kernel and if I can run it with 2nd-boot. I did a test with walter74's 109_DPP-4.5.3-11-kernel, but does not start on CyanogenMod 7.2 (and in fact I riflashed the cm7 kernel signed to return to normal). so there is a gingerbread kernel that works on CM 7.2? (If needed, I would be willing to change even though Rom for having these features.)

see i will try to explain in simple words..kernels in android is like BIOS in a computer..it can run only on one kernel at a time..if u r dual booting, u can use only one kernel..either froyo or GB..u cant run one ROM with froyo kernel and another ROM with GB kernel..
Walter's kernel is GB kernel while CM7.2 uses froyo..tats y it dint start..
remember 2nd-boot is like a virtual OS, it has same BIOS(it uses same kernel)..

got it ;)

so if i want to exploit the kernel gb I'll have to switch to one of the defy+ roms for defy. What about the GGL Rom? seems to be a great rom for green lens defy :)

Quarx's CM7 Defy+ builds (http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/) work perfectly fine with the GB kernel and the battery life is actually better than with the Froyo kernel (at least for me).

You need to install the attached battery fix though since Quarx'x build include the battd for the Defy+. Credits go to Auris 1.6 vvt-i for posting this in the CM9 thread.

The best kernel seems to be 4.5.3-109, which can be downloaded from Walter's MS2Ginger thread.

nice thanks...if the greenbreadmod will work with the camera app of the defy+'s cm7.2?

EDIT: i have just installed the defy+ cm7 and 4.5.3-109-DPP11 walter74's kernel. soon i'll test also the battery. the camera still work, but how to change the telephone model in the telephone details? it will compromise the mb525 hardware on supported applications?

Cm7.2

Just switched to cm7.2 from pikachu edition. (figured I check it out) I'm guessing I have a froyo kernel. If I wanted better battery life and smoother gaming would the gb kernel be better to flash or just stay on froyo?

(not the right post but figured I ask it instead of creating a new thread)
V6 supercharger is it worth it.?
