STFU! you are gonna have a test kernel in an hour? shoot me a link if you want me to test. my 4g is borked right now, but i will be up if you wanna use me.

oh, and can you think of why the boot loader doesn't wanna see the pc36img.zip on a 2 gb card and will on an 8 gb card?

flash from recovery

TURN OFF SETCPU OR UNINSTALL before flashing

afterwards reopen setcpu, autoselect device. Can set on boot and use all profiles.

HTC perflock stripped
wifi, 4G, and HD out modules built from new source (wifi good, others need tested)
added ext4 support.

To make things easier, let's try to keep all our questions and test kernels here in Sporky's thread, unless he minds. When someone gets one to a stage ready to call working they should make their own thread.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, or try it out for yourself. I'll help any way i can.

what does source code kernal mean?

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

its the code that people can use to build custom linux kernels. The one above adds in a support for a new file system, and takes out HTC's cpu throttle so we can control it ourselves.

You can change the core of Android itself with a custom kernel and support new things.

what are you overclocking at gbhil?

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

what are you overclocking at gbhil?

it's not. this is from untouched htc source

 

[UTnick]

it's not. this is from untouched htc source

sorry, i meant are you doing anything with SetCPU that seems promising? your settings so far?

oh, and congrats. i think you are the first custom kernel out and it's already on google. i know you probably aren't in it for the glory, but i think it's an achievement.

 

[UTnick]

Is this just a placebo or does your kernel really improve wifi this much? This is the fastest it has ever tested.

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Here's my setcpu profiles.

WiFi seems rock solid here too. Maybe something in the vanilla driver is helping.

Sorry for double post. Tapatalk confused me lol.

I gotta hit the hay. Thanks for testing that it at least boots and works lol.

Gbhil, I'll test this here in a bit. Have to wake up some first.

I just flash the kernel, so far is working good.
Does it matter if, I also flash the gumbo for rvu?

 

[Cory Streater]

Awesome work, Jerry. I can't wait to see what comes of this.

 

[vbsoulpole]

Is this good to flash over all ROMS or just RvU? I'm running BakedSnack at the moment, but if it does no harm to flash this over it, I'll give it a whirl.

How did you guys make custom ROM's without the source code to begin with? Modify the code from other phones? I am a newbie interested in learning

You can use tools to extract all the "guts" from the factory shipping rom, then reverse engineer the components, as well as add/edit startup parameters.

Sense UI ROMS are basically all the same parts, just put together differently and optimized in different ways. Grab your favorite rom.zip and open it with 7zip and poke around to get a feel for it. And if you decide to go forward with it, holler. I have no time to support a ROM, but love tinkering and am happy to help anyone out.

Attachment shows the CPU is following the rules i posted earlier just fine. Thanks HTC
