Root [Kernel]{Genocide_187} 2.6.35.14 OC+I/O+Gov_beta_1

[The~Skater~187]

FOR EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY!!!

This is a Test kernel for Precedent Roms With Ext4 System Partitions Only!

I need people to test this kernel.
It seems to be running fine on my brothers Precedent, so here ya are, just please keep me posted on any issues or problems.

DISCLAIMER: Extremely low or higher than normal frequencies may freeze your phone. Especially high frequencies (such as those enabled in certain custom kernels) have a risk of shortening the life of your phone. If your phone freezes, just yank out the battery. I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THIS KERNEL MAY DO TO YOUR PHONE.

I have made a kernel that has been overclocked to 944Mhz (thanks to trenchkato), CPU Governor set to ondemand(stock) this should help battery life, I/O Scheduler set to deadline(stock), and with Hroarks integrated /data to sd-ext.
(This will only work if you have your sdcard partitioned with a fat partition and a ext4 partition. This will mount your sd-ext as your internal data partition).

Use SetCPU, Antutu CPU Master Or Voltage Control to set your cpu speed.

Installation:
1. Make sure your Rom is working and your phone is formatted to ext4.
(Look for lost+found in your /system directory)
2. Reboot into Recovery mode
3. Go to >advanced>wipe Dalvik>yes
4. Mount SD-ext, and hit back
5. Flash the respective .zip
6. Reboot


**I cant stress enough, Make sure you have a new CWM backup before flashing this kernel**

Thanks to: Hroark13, zcop, Koumajutsu, thachtunganh, Shabby and Interdepth.

Special Thanks To: Trenchkato, for leading me to some good info on how to do this and helping me big time along the way.

Thanks a bunch!!!

I've got it running on a gingerbread ROM, no issues so far. Frequencies over 900 MHz make this little phone much snappier! I'll be testing another ROM tomorrow.

Could we get the minimum frequency set to under 100 MHz; CPU MASTER won't go lower than 120 MHz.

Use voltage control from the market. It will allow you to set it lower.

Awesome Kernel! Runs great!

 

[sillyname]

I will try out voltage control, thanks.

The kernel gets stuck on boot animation with CM7, anyone else have this issue?

Update: Voltage Control also is unable to take the clock below 120 MHz. It isn't a huge deal, I was just hoping while using "on demand" power settings that I could keep the clock even lower for battery life.

Did you get it run with CM7 or you have to flash a different ROM?

 

[The~Skater~187]

It wont work with CM7 due to ramdisk issues. If you could send mr a copy of your CM7 ramdisk I will see what I can do.

 

[akashik]

Where would I find that?

 

[The~Skater~187]

Where would I find that?

Easier way, send me a copy of your CM7 kernel and I will just extract the ramdisk.

I'm running Pandabomb's CM7 port which is here:

Pandabomb at Fileswap

It's a port of hroark13's Prevail ROM. Is that what you needed?

That is the whole package, lol. I just needed the boot.img, but this will work just fine. Thanks. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.

I will say its rather fast but it did make my phone freeze up on me twice. So if u could fix this it would be nice

 

[sillyname]

This kernel works great on AreaROM 2.3. It defaults to 120 MHz (Min) and 988 MHz (Max). I bring it back down to 925 MHz and it runs smooth.

An OC kernel could also benefit stock Froyo.

You seem to be the only one with this issue. Could tell me more about your setup? I.e. Rom, OC management app, I/O setting, and cpu gov. setting.

First, my kernel at this point will NOT go to 988mhz. The max is 944mhz, no matter what.

Second, I have not looked specifically into the froyo source code for this phone, but I do know that the one for the Prevail was broken.

From multiple fresh installs of AreaROM 2.3 with the OC kernel applied, all apps capable of reporting the CPU frequency report 988 MHz. This is not me trying to "stir the pot," I'm just repeating what the apps on the phone say. Do I need to get screen shots posted up?

No. Thats just odd. I have the same kernel on my Prevail and it maxes out at 944. It must be something in the Ramdisk. I'll look into it.

 

[j3cool]

I see the same on my Arearom 2.3. Every cpu app shows the slider going all the way to 988.

And it runs at 988mhz without rebooting?

 

[j3cool]

Running at 988 for four days now and no issues.

Interesting

Interesting

Very need to find out what's causing that

I have been looking into, but haven't found anything yet.

 

[moddedout]

ok this is what i got. the prececedent running on AreaRom 3.0 with these kernel bookin it at 988mhz. i was using cpu master but only to set it to performance while benching other than that its default. ive had a few other with this issue also. i actually retried this kernel again a few days ago and it made it almost all day then froze on me.
