Root The Source is out. (latest ota Kernel)

dude its late. im just hoping i get a good response to my wifi tether thread i posted earlier before i go to work
 
I'm excited. I hadn't gotten my hopes up cause people around here were saying that they released the eclair kernel source about a month after the update. This is really quick! Thanks for the good news! :)
 
oh, it downloads o, so slowly........

i guess that's a good sign. lots of devs grabbing it.
 
that was fast. flashing netarchy 4 now...

--edit--
confirmed camera is fixed. options above 3mpx are back and working.
don't have an hdmi cable to test the port.
FPS2D still shows 50+ FPS
Dotty still shows 5-pt touch recognition
touch/slide sensitivity still very good
no 4G to test
CPU throttling still works.

Looks good with the rooted stock build.
 
Also the lastest Wfii tether works.....pre8 was jus released and this the speed i got with my EVO Tethered to my PS3

OMG I hope this means root soon! I have been kicking myself ever since I did the OTA thinking that root access would be possible within the next week :(
 
with the new netarchy kernel, I lost 1% battery life overnight. old kernel had me between 4-6% loss.

Battery usage shows:

32% cell standby
33% wifi
33% phone idle
2% android system
clearly there's no more shit running in the background when the phone is idle.

I'm not running any task killers.

And the other important aspect of this awesome idle battery life is that my emails were all there; notification LED was flashing correctly. My alarm clock went off with no issues. So stuff that SHOULD be happening still are.
 
So should I update from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3? I may just give it a couple days and see what other tweaks are made.

I would he changed the Cpu Governor to Conservative to help with CPU scaling to improve battery life..Only in 4.0.3a though
