Root BobZhome ThunderC Kernel

[RoujinKarma]

Hey everyone got more questions! Alright so I was doing some work, and research for ICS. More or less on the kernel developement for it, and I stumbled upon a forum post about a kernel(ThunderC). According to the poster it is a 2.6.35 Gingerbread based kernel, that is also compiled and made for the OV. Now I was wondering if anyone has used this kernel before, and if it is a 2.6.35 kernel.

If anyone could tell me the experience with this kernel, and how it performs, I would be extremely thankful. Thanks guys !

And yes I have a small obsession over kernels... and Linux for the matter :3

That is the kennel that comes with the IHO roms.

But what kernel version is it?

The one that's used in the BACKside ROM is the BobZohme v3.7. More info can be seen here https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc_common/wiki/Binary

So this is where it came from... Alright I might use this ROM.

But I still would like to know what kernel version it is, is it still 2.3.32?

Running the latest version of mrg666's MiRaGe IHO build, my kernel is 2.6.32.9-v3.7.

BACKside 0313 uses the same kernel. Very stable, fast, best one I've tried for the OV - and that is coming from an old Slackware hound.

We have been using a Froyo based kernel on the Optimus V for over a year now. Currently, tdm is working on a .35 kernel, and hopes to have it ready sometime next week, but we still don't know if it will work with Gingerbread or only ICS.

Of course, over time we can get it to work with Gingerbread, however, the current kernel by BobZhome is actually quite good, so all efforts on the kernel side are focused on ICS for the time being!

Note- BobZhome uses chaos_defconfig, if you want to check out his awesome sauce.

If I decide to flash another kernel (tvall, for example) and then decide I want to go back to 2.6.32.9-v3.7 (Bobzhome), where can I download it? Thanks in advance.

You could just flash the rom again. BobZhome has posted his kernel on android central a few times. If you have an account there, search. If not (I don't recommend getting one), I'll see if I can find it.

Looking on my android central now, and yeah, I really don't like android central at all.

EDIT: I only found 1 link, and it 404'd.

Bob just posted an updated kernel in the iho thread at AC. Updated with the zv9 source code

So, if I flash tvall's kernel, then say Link2SD doesn't work, if I want to switch back to something that can run Link2SD, that would be it?

Yup
