Root [Sprint] [OUDHS]SpeedBall Kernel for JB ONLY

[xInterlopeRx]

Well, guys and dolls (if there are any) I discovered a bit of code that was capping our precious frequency reserves at 1DOT2Ghz to be exact. That's not much for the same processor that in the Galaxy S III. Well, not to be outdone by the marketing ploys of greedy businessmen, I have disabled this disabling disability! Now, I am reporting frequencies as high as 1DOT512. That's a TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT increase!!! Well, like the title says, it's only for devices that are running the JB upgrade. If you flash this to the ICS device, it may vomit in the car. Remember, this is NOT an overclocked kernel. This is naturally aspirated, high octane, throttle body injected...I might make an OC kernel at some point.

TEST KERNEL

Flashable, flashy and flashtastic!


STOCK KERNEL

FLASH THIS FIRST!!!
BACKUP AND RESTORE

It will backup your boot.img only and create a flashable zip to restore it later. The file created is called backupbootflash.zip and it will be on the internal memory.

So a default speed of 1.5? Awesome. Great work! I'll have to flash this soon!

If you do flash it, check the market right away. I've been experiencing this odd thing with failed downloads from the market. If you need a stock kernel to flash back, that'll be $50.

LOL. I could make a nandroid its free!

 

[christiansoto]

so any feedback on how things work out

 

[Prinny]

I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Been really busy working and whatnot.

I'll try tonight at some point, perhaps. But I'm supposed to be nerding it out (Playing Magic The Gathering) after work.

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Sorry. I cannot comment either. Since I'm building and testing cm i have to be running stable.

 

[christiansoto]

I will test as long as theirs a stock jelly bean kernel

Stock kernel added to OP. Thanks testers. It would be nice to have a stable kernel with 25% more Ghz.

 

[Prinny]

Finally had a moment to flash this, but I noticed something.

recovery.img is n the SpeedBall kernel zip, but not a boot.img?

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Delete that junk ASAP. Lemme find the right stuff and upload that instead. This may be dead though. I've messed up my source making it work with CM...Oh wait, there's always more source!

 

[Prinny]

Hurray, source code!

And hey if CM10 works with it...we can all patiently wait for CM10

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Ok, it's all fixed now. Complete with backup, unmodified kernel.

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Hurray, source code!

I've already been working on it for two weeks. Just a little quietly. Since I let the cat out of the bag here, I may as well tell you. I'm merging kernel source from the GSIII to make video work. It's gonna be a while before there's anything more to talk about.

 

[Prinny]

Hey, no rush. I know these things take time. I was just stating that we can wait on this kernel for that one

 

[christiansoto]

so you guys updated the speed ball kernel.
v1 was working but no overclock on the way to test this out

 

[christiansoto]

wifi doesn't turn everything just lags

This is not an overclock kernel. This kernel is simply built without a cap. Other devices that have msm8960 chipsets use a kernel like this. Future versions of this kernel may include hdmi out since that functionality is possible as well.

 

[christiansoto]

same problem with stock kernel.
had to restore my boot with my backup that I
have made

 

[xInterlopeRx]

Using "ro.build.description=goghspr-user 4.1.1 JRO03L L300VPALJ9 release-keys" on my device I have full functionality with the current kernel. I have used No-Frills CPU from the market. All apps update, bluetooth, wifi, etc. I cannot test 3G/4G as my device is not activated.

 

[TheBritton]

If we flash this does it revert to stock recovery or will it retain TWRP?
I'm only asking because on the S2, the kernel and recovery were intertwined meaning if you flashed a kernel it also flashed whatever recovery was with it. Is that true for thus device or are the kernel and recovery independent of each other?

 

[xInterlopeRx]

They are independent. But for sake of information this device has two partitions: one for boot and one for recovery. The S2 did also but the processor read them the same. The initramfs on the S2 needed all the configuration data to boot into recovery and system. This device has a unique initramfs for each boot sequence.

 

[Prinny]

So flashed the kernel. And wifi died for me. Just wouldn't turn on. Used TWRP. Wiped cache/dalvik. So, no idea. I'm sure its an error on my end, but not sure why wifi won't work/what I'm doing wrong.

 

[xInterlopeRx]

What software version is on your device?
