Root [Boost Mobile] [Kernel] Glitch Kernel (2.6.35.7) OC. 1.8ghz

I just flashed this kernel on my rom and all seems well so far swap is setup and working fine and so far no issues with the wifi,,,this phone just keeps getting better and better thanks for all the hard work guys
 
Ok, I can confirm the wifi issue and that removing "video.accelerate.hw=1 " from build.prop fixes it...

As far as read_ahead_kb goes...testing with hdparm I found that 2048 is the optimal setting with my class 10 16gb sd card...I got 221886 kb/s buffer-cache read and 16020 kb/s buffered disk read

thank you. I figured i couldn't be the only one.

So I've got a new mystery problem.
With the non oc kernel everything works great but when i flash the oc kernel I've got two problems that pop up.

1) Wifi finds the network in trying to connect to but it won't connect to it. It tries to connect (even tries to verify) then it drops off. Not once have I gotten wifi to connect and been able to use it.
I even took a long walk and tried on 3 other wifi spots.

2) Bluetooth connects and works great, however, it keeps asking for phonebook access every time I connect even though I checked the box for it to remember my selection.

I flash back to the beta copy of the oc kernel and the problems don't exist.

Is there anything that's incompatible with the kernel that may cause the problems? Or any ideas what between the beta copy and the one in the op may have changed that might cause this?

Smoothkaos had these same issues with my Rom and the new oc kernel and didn't have them with the non oc.
 
Do you have alot of additions to the build.prop? The beta team had IP address issues on wifi and we found that it was something in the build.prop
 
I do have a number of tweaks but i thought about the tweaks in the build.prop and tried with all tweaks removed and still had these problems.

Channel log:
V1.0
Added oc up to 1.6ghz
Retained swap and init.d from non oc
Removed ramzswap because of incompatibility
Coming soon:
V1.1
I/O schedulers bfq, deadline, vr and simple
Voltage changes for OC

Also coming soon, a proper write up for the kernel along with explanations on governors and schedulers.

I found this on xda.. its a good explanation on cpu governors

So which wifi issue is adressed with that build.prop. also any side effects from removing it speedtest or smoothness wise
 
Two questions:

1. Is init.d support initalized in this kernel or was that only a feature in project yoshi?

2. Is the source code for your kernel available? I'm curious to see if I can get it to compile...never could get hroarks to. Also would like to try compiling a couple modules against it for my own testing.
 
Well mine is based off hroarks, source is not yet gpl compliant. Because I do not have wifi at home to push it to my github. And it does have init.d support started in the init.rc in ramdisk

Isn't init.rc like the Android version of the DOS autoexec.bat? And is it the same for Linux as well?
 
Has anyone had any issues with screen brightness after flashing this kernel?? I flashed OC kernel over Icon ROM 1.0.4 this morning and couldn't adjust the screen brightness, had to load my nandroid. After reloading the nandroid I made prior to flashing kernel all was well with screen brightness. Will test it out again, just wondering if anyone else has gone through this or seen it in any capacity before.
 
I havent tried reflashing yet, but i find the sticky toggles issue in general can be worked around by turning off WiFi, rebooting, then enabling the setting before turning WiFi back on. I was out in the sun today and had to adjust my brightness to max, and that's when i discovered it wasnt sticking like the keyboard settings. Tried to Fix Permissions with no success.

What were your oc settings? Installed SetCPU only to verify it was running at 1600 Max and 122 Min
Governor OnDemand*
Min 122
Max 1600
Any profiles you had set ie screen off None Set
Was wifi on? WiFi on caused the sticky issues for me

It is possible, what were your oc settings?

Please from now on can everyone use this template to report an error

On demand
576
1612
Screen On
Not 100% sure. My WiFi tends to turn itself on by itself even after I have turned it off in settings. Let's assume that it was probably on.

The Max and Min were from the profile. Normal max and min is 1612 and 122
 
You may run into issues setting a value between 368 and 768. These are freq that are not in the original source.
Try to set below that and report any changes.
Stuff not setting usually has to do with a script in init.d.
 
Mind you this is all new. It passed the first round of testers.
Error reports are needed to develop
Thank you
 
No worries, and I'm quite enjoying it! I was walking around Wilmington, DE for 4 hours today and had 0% Time Without Signal, with WiFi on and searching for a network the entire time
 
I have been using the oc kernel all day and i have to say its amazing to have the 1.6 overclock and swap support the phone runs better then my girl htc evo 4g lte,,,thanks again for a great kernel and all the hard work cant wait to see what else you guys have in store for us

My brightness adjuster works fine on my end. Automatic brightness works and screen not dim.
