Re: [Kernel][android_kernel_lge_msm7x27-3.0.x (3.0.8)]

flash r2.0. just uploaded. fixes rotation issues too.
r1.8 has issues flashing wifi module. won't flash it to os2sd at all.

I had trouble even on r2.0. I think the module is too big for system (at least on internal). I replaced it with the tiny one from the cm11 02-28 rom zip and wifi works.

wifi module hasn't changed size, ever.
aufs module not in zip anymore either, 3Mb less.

weird.
I think the build system compresses the module or something making the flashable. it's little in the installer zips, but big in the kernel build.

Tried this kernel in your latest internal kk release, squid. Accelerometer doesn't work for me. Any ideas? If you need a log let me know, thanks!

EDIT... got it working.

Will kernel support offline charging soon?

Sent from my LG-VM670 using AC Forums mobile app
nope, but source code is waiting for someone else to fix it. :)

Basically, I lack time to play. Demands for more time doing labor and spending time in "productive" pastimes destroys my ability to code without being chewed out for not working enough.
Sorry. All projects are on hold until I can demand my time back.

Hope that is fixed soon. I'm really enjoying playing around with your version of KitKat. Maybe skinbark can take up the slack if he isn't busy. Good luck getting your time back! I appreciate all the efforts of you and everyone else that is testing this ROM and other associated parts.

everybody likes things named...
well, I finally thought of one. Enjoy (or gasp in horror as you will.)
meet bigsupersquid's bigsuperkernel. version msm7x27-3.08

bump
-O3 linaro gcc 4.7 build uploaded. Still r2.2 since I'm lazy but the zip is named clearly.

Yes!
In drivers/input/sensor/ami304.h

//new Addr=0x0E(Low), old Addr=0x0F(High)
#define AMI304_I2C_ADDRESS 0x0F
for thunderc, it's 0x0E for thunderg.

About blinking time I tracked that down. Sky map works now, and I get proper compass readout. Jittery, but accurate.

r3.0! new binary up, too.

Gotta buy an ac or car fast charger for that.
Try using Fast Reboot app, or/and long press home button then press 3-dot button on upper right to close all open apps.

Battery only charges to 79%. Also, I noticed that /sbin is missing from kernel build!!! Could this be the charging issue?

In a ClockworkMod recovery, like Philz, wipe battery stats, and try charging again.

The kernel itself is zImage file only.
The rest is installer and ami304d (accelerometer daemon.)
The installer dumps the boot.img, splits it into kernel and ramdisk, recombines ramdisk with new kernel, and flashes it as boot.img again. Then copies ami304d to /system/bin (because for a while I was getting better results from thunderg ami daemon than thunderc, and it might not match in a ROM.)

Charging issues are because:
1) battery was the absolute last thing holding out against me fixing it of all the kernel porting issues, and
2) once enough of it worked for readout and charging for most everyone, including the 4 different OV's I've tested on, I stopped dragging LG code kicking and screaming from the GB 2.6.35 kernel up to the 3.0 kernel.

So some of the 'don't stop charging if overtemp' and bits of other battery/charging code that are deselectable in the config, and the parts that talk to QPST and other phone tools (and write the PRL and such on Sprint stock ROMs, and handle the activation sequence on both Sprint and VM phones) didn't get forward-ported.

looking at the bcm4325 datasheet, it's supposed to run from 2.3V to 5V.
The kernel regulator settings are at 2.85V. I am testing turning them down to 2.4V and see if I still have working wifi and bluetooth.

Yes, I still have function. Maybe slightly reduced range and data speeds are a little lower near the edge of working range. Almost a half volt off the top of the power supply voltage, but dunno if it compensates with higher amperage or not.

Uploading r4.0 wifi test binary.
Try it and see if it goes from a v8 lincoln to a 3 cylinder geo metro. Or maybe at least a v6 or so. Let me know.
