Bump

**jawz101** · 09-21-2012, 04:22 PM

you can go back to mrg's kernel if you'd like. I've not seen that happen.

btw, 9/23 build up yesterday. I found a and pulled several commits from it since they'd applied cleanly. highlights I was intrigued with were these 2:
Backported initramfs from kernel 2.6.34.x
Makefile: use hardfloat instead of soft

I'm hesitant about that hard float instead of soft float. I don't know what the effects of a hardware based floating point function would do except hardware functions I'd think would be more preferred than software functions. Nothing blew up though. Actually, most of these patches just applied cleanly.

My next phone with be a shiny Google Nexus phone. I'd rather have a latest and greatest Linux kernel than this old 2.6 kernel. That'll be a year or so from now. I'd like to wait until Google has a quad core.

Been running for few days with Mirage on my V, everything is great but I've been having YouTube freeze up a lot. The video stops but the audio keeps playing. Really great work though :thumbup:

I've tested out the hard float for a few days on my ROM and it seems to work very well, but it does seem to work better with ROMs that have the lib files and build.prop set to use hardware rather then software.

When I flashed this with MiRaGe, my launcher reverted to ADW (I was using GO before), none of my home screen widgets showed up, and I lost half of my apps (including the Play Store!).
It's a good thing I made a backup before flashing, but I would like to know how I can install this kernel without this happening again, because I really want fast charging!

Sounds like you are flashing the rom instead of just the kernel. It should be a small 4mb file

Nope, it was definitely the kernel.
Would it be safe to flash the kernel without wiping the cache? Because I always seem to lose a lot of internal storage when I clear dalvik and cache from recovery..

I'm sorry but this makes absolutely no sense. Wiping is formatting. Which is deleting. You should be gaining storage.

Yeah, I wish I understood it. I'm using Link2SD on a FAT32 partition, if that helps...
But in recovery, when I wipe my dalvik cache/cache, when I boot up, I have less internal storage.
If I relink all files, and relink the dalvik cache via Link2SD, I'm fine, though.

You don't have to wipe anything when installing a kernel.

well, crap. I'll have to check into this because it's been happening to me for a while now. I think I was getting the same thing on mrg's so I'll have to look into it. For me it won't connect to 3g or wifi intermittently until I reboot.

thanks for looking into this and sorry for the mis-spellings--I don't use Tapatalk

Glad you could understand what was going on....
wish you could have responded sooner than you did though.....

Don't forget, the devs behind all our mods/kernels/roms have lives too and they don't get anything for their work. Comments like "wish you could have responded sooner" are really uncalled for. Please try to consider all the dev work here a privilege to have available. We have a lot to thank these guys for and if they take some time off, they certainly deserve it.

I'm not on android central too often. moreso on xda- but even there I check it maybe once every week or 2. Plus, I haven't really been messing with my phone much lately. if anyone has any input on when this started happening in mrg's kernel I'll take a look.

You could take a look at my kernel repo and see if any changes there in the coding could have caused the problem. Haven't done anything to the code for almost a month now, but Wi-fi has never been a problem with my kernel.

**daffy_duck_nj** · 12-10-2012, 11:08 AM

I'm currently using this with my V. Works great with latest OM-Mandylion ROM.

Working good on magpie

I've had the issue as well, but I've always been on ZV4. Hey jawz101 do you think it's a baseband issue? I doubt it, but hey.

No issues with 3G or WiFi connectivity using this kernel, so far. The phone connects faster to both for me than when I used mrg666's stuff. I'm on Z4 baseband, and I use the Green Power battery saving app.
