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

Can someone on the dev team give me some details on the swap system? I get that it's basically a virtual memory system, but I'm wondering how much extra memory this frees up. Does the system uses a swapfile on the SD card or in the device's built-in RAM? Are there limits as to how much VM space the kernel will allocate? How much of a speed hit does it incur when the kernel has to page in/out apps?
 
So its back to hunting. After switching ti the 1.7ghz I've got the
Same wifi turning on turning off thing back.
I'm getting sick of build tweaks.

Oh and to those that have read ahead in init.d or .d2 try turning getting rid of it. I'm finding i get slower sd read and wright speeds with it and the new oc

Thanks for doing 1.4 version was going to request one
 
Ya once you get up to higher speed it starts effecting everything. But you should use an app to switch the governor to scary or interactivex. It changes the read ahead

I've noticed. I'm having to rip my Rom a new one to get everything working with these new oc kernels.
Still trying to knock out my wifi not fully connecting issues. All three further I'm getting is to authenticate and then disconnect.

Pm me the build prop. Like I said, I've seen this issue and it was fixed with a stock prop. Did you start your rom yourself? Could you have permissions or missing symlink issues? Scratch that, pm me a update script and build prop
 
I'll p.m. you the stuff when i can.
I have tried a stock prop and i get rid of the on off issue but not the never connecting issue.
 
Well I have been running oc 1.7 for about 5 hours of heavy continuous use. And my battery temp hasn't gone over 102
 
I did notice that when I have the phone charging and putting it user heavy use that I had the battery temp get as high as 109
 
Just a quick thought, if you remove the
exec /system/bin/sh -c "/system/bin/ext4check.sh*

lines from init.rc then the newb ROM builders using it won't have to worry about patching the stock ROM for data and we can just delete ext4check.sh and forget that ever happened.
 
This is a dumb thing to ask but I must ask any ways what does this do and what is cfq/noo? what is the safest setting to use in voltage control
 
Im havi g problems with the data and 3G for some reason. Its only with one app however. Its whatsapp messenger. It wobt update or send or receive messages. I have wiped data on it. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Just weird
 
1.7 is Max oc anything over is unstable dangerous and unusable. Phone will either freeze force reboot of not boot at all. That's why I limited it to 1.7 on my kernel. By the way nice job down you made it alot further then I did. Major props on that and this will be included in beta 4 and my stable release. But imma change the splash image lol. Call it glitch kernel by downthemachine.!
 
So I have been running this kernel on my phone for a few days now. And I have had 2 issues. The first is at my phone gets quite hot at 1.6 and that was only running my navigation. so I turned it down to 1.4 and it seems to be a little better. the second issue is that I cannot turn my wifi off now. I turn it off and it just pops right back on after a little bit which isn't really a big deal because no I'm not losing service.. I didn't really have any issues before with the other oc kernel except wifi and losing my service. Now it seems I am still having wifi issues but at least I'm not losing any service.. other than that my phone is running great and super smooth it benchmarked at 4106.

Any information? Like what rom you're running, what settings you're using?
 
So that 1.4 is the same build as the 1.7 with just the lower cap? I only run at 1.4 even with the 1.7 as id rather not overload the recomended max setting untill the phone is a bit older so would the 1.4 be a better choice
 
Yes from now on there will be two current versions. 1.7 and 1.4. They are from the same build
 
Im now on the 1.4 oc.... much snappier response upped my vellamo score by 100 points for html5 and metal both. Im using no frills with the ondemand gov and cfq i/o. ... i still need to do some reading on the schedulers before i start playing with it. Anyone know a good temp gauge i can d/l? I like my zte warp "prequel" :)

Edit: cant find a cpu temp app that actually works.... but my batt temp has not gone over 41 deg celcius under load

lol on my home PC i am running Dual Corsair H70 one for the processor and one for my video card. I think it would be a good thing to see what voltages the sequent is running as a baseline. I am not trying to be a downer or question the testing but I also want to make this is as safe as possible for the masses. OC is a risk period but I guess you guys are trying to find the safest max vs risk. As I said before you guys know a hell of a lot more than me about Android but processors are processors and the laws of thermodynamics are true regardless of what system your talking about.

I know this might sound weird but my phone runs cooler overclocked. lol

Try an app called cool tool it has many functions and a very low memory footprint.
You may have to google it then go to play store. The play store search function is crap.
