[KERNEL][Gingerbread] CM 2.6.35 kernel for Thrive and Phoenix

**_Arjen_** · 06-15-2012, 03:37 PM

For those who begged me to release a gingerbreadkernel with OC!!!
This kernel is based on the 2.6.35.10 source from Cyanogenmod.

Wifi doesn't seem to be working, when you try to enable it just says error

**bownz** · 06-15-2012, 08:55 PM

Wifi Isn't working, as Kingv10 stated. Which is fine, and probably an easy fix as it was for ICS.

and the same boot bug applies I believe.

**_Arjen_** · 06-16-2012, 02:04 AM

Guess it's the same buildingproblem I had on ICS kernel

Will upload new version soon, together with a kernel with Der Caveman's optimized touchscreen

**_Arjen_** · 06-16-2012, 03:07 AM

Can someone check the size and date of the wifidriver in system/lib/modules?
Want to check something

**kingv10** · 06-16-2012, 03:28 AM

On ICS with wifi working the wireless.ko file is:
203.96K

Hoping for an update soon. Want an MIUI, and the ICS Version has a webkit error. And Then I can't use the Gingerbread version, because no wifi XD.

EDIT: BTW, I think the graphics on the Thrive are messed up. On a few roms Using this kernel, the screen would get glitchy, like pixels would move around.

Yeah don't worry I'm waiting for an update too, Arjen said he's working on it today so it shouldn't be long.

And about the screen glitch, I have a thrive too and I think I know what you're talking about, the problem is your min value for CPU is too low, for example if I set mine below 600mhz I get that screen problem. Try setting yours higher and see if it helps

You shouldn't have to set min value that high :S

I think that's the only solution, I looked up this pixel shift problem and it doesn't have to do with the ROM or kernel, it has to do with Linux itself and the CPU (it happens on some desktops as well), if you're worried about battery life the processor doesn't drain that much battery based on frequency, only when it's running cycles (if its "processing" something) I've tested this myself and when the screen is off and the phones not doing anything the battery drain is about the same no matter what the frequency is. I personally use 600min and 748max with interactive governor, but every CPU is built differently so use what's best for you.

Then how come Joban's kernel didn't have that problem, nor the stock p505 kernel?

**kingv10** · 06-18-2012, 07:15 PM

Every ROM and kernel I've used has had this problem, and that's to say I don't even know if we're talking about the same problem

**bluntman_420** · 06-18-2012, 08:51 PM

What you guys are experiencing is kernel/system panic from overclock being too high. I have experienced the same thing with INTERACTIVE governor. I am currently running
min-320 max-748 on ONDEMAND governor and have no problems at all. Try changing your governor to ondemand or performance and see if that helps.

This could be it. I didn't even think to actually check that in gingerbread, seeing as I didn't plan to keep it, since I use wifi constantly. But could explain why I don't get it on ICS, I always have it to on-demand.

Updated link in first post, haven't tested yet if wifi works now, don't have the phone with me

Kernel has the_caveman patch for touchscreen.

Just curious, what does the caveman patch do? Fix multitouch?

edit: i think i found my answer. is this right?

**kingv10** · 06-19-2012, 09:38 AM

Wifi still doesn't work

**_Arjen_** · 06-19-2012, 10:53 AM

Frustrating!!!

Have the phone now, so will flash a gingerbread rom and try.

**chiphead** · 06-19-2012, 11:07 AM

You may want to reach out to user DaveSatan25 in this forum. His stock gb kernel had a wifi fix.

Just as an FYI, i tried swapping the wireless.ko, but it didn't fix it

What rom are you trying the kernel on?
It works for me...

If it is on stock I think I know what's causing it.

**kingv10** · 06-19-2012, 11:14 AM

I tried it on these two ROMS

Which ROM did it work for you on?

**_Arjen_** · 06-19-2012, 11:16 AM

CM7 for Phoenix/Thrive

Will change the update-script so it wipes old wireless.ko, will upload in a few minutes, my wife needs some help

Edit:
Updated link, has new updater-script.
Now it removes old wifi-driver before installing new one.

**chiphead** · 06-19-2012, 11:20 AM

Also tried on CM7 nightly

**kingv10** · 06-19-2012, 12:15 PM

Weird, I still get the same error on the latest stable CM7 with new kernel.

Here's my flashing procedure in case I'm doing something wrong:
Reboot into recovery
Complete wipe
Flash the latest stable CM7
Flash gapps from here
Flash your kernel
Flash Obb fix
Reboot
