ARCHIVED: [OC Kernel] Xionia Kernel 2.6.32.33 (v013)

[zefie]

Tweaked OC Kernel. Alot of tweaks to the compile process.

Special Note:
The official latest Xionia for users with Baseband version less than VC is 005. There are no improvements for V9 or lower.

Due to internal changes in VC it is required to seperate it for stability. If you try 006 or higher on V9 or lower and have problems, please revert to your nandroid backup, then flash 005. Please remember to restore your nandroid backup FIRST otherwise you will retain some of 006+'s features and things will REALLY break.

Quick question...

Can we just keep flashing Kernels on top of Kernels or should we completely re-flash the rom and then flash Kernels?

If that makes any sense.

 

[zefie]

should be no problem flashing over an existing kernel/rom because the script only updates the kernel and not the ramdisk

 

[abarenbe]

Do we need to clear data or any thing?

Do I need to use SetCPU to enable this? or just flash and it will be enabled after reboot?

 

[zefie]

no clearing data yes setcpu

Nice to see you back developing for Android, Zefie. Thanks for the OC kernel, I'll test it out!

 

[ltrz]

nice Kernel..but damn maybe im doing something wrong..supposed to kill battery that much? (still at 600)

 

[rodcpierce]

thanks for another option! It was pretty laggy on mine though. No matter what speed i clocked it too. Going to try flashing it again here later and see if maybe I just didnt get a bad flash.

 

[zefie]

wifi causes lag for some unknown reason. if you disable wifi it works better.

 

[rodcpierce]

i didnt have the wifi on. I started with it on, then turned it off, and still had the lag. It was wierd. only on initial movements? like when I opened up the menu. the opening, and the first swipe was laggy, but then it was fast and smooth. Same thing with the programs.

same here. but ive tried again with turning off phone and booting back up..i just leave it alone until it goes to sleep. wake it up and good to go..guess gotta give it a bit of time to settle down.

 

[kalex]

What are the recommended settings for SetCPU with this kernel?

 

[prittyboy203]

thanks zefie for the extra hook up great work everyone off to the doctors aka fresh reflash lol

make sure the governor on setcpu is ondemand

 

[prittyboy203]

ya i for some reason had data interuptions where my phone was garbedge it was at as high as i could go just did the old airplain mode let it sit like the other poster and was fine

 

[svceon]

Is this kernel only for optimus S or for the whole line of LG P500?

 

[zefie]

Is this kernel only for optimus S or for the whole line of LG P500?

Kernels, once compiled, only work on one specific model.

The source code can likely be easily tweaked for the P500.

 

[prittyboy203]

Zefie I was looking at the name of the thread and it says the kernel v2.6.32.36 but when you download it I get the same one I had before its showing 2.32.26 just wanted to tell you I think the file name is wrong or the thread name is
