is there anyway to check if the system partition is EXT 4 or something? because I'm still on the Eternity Kernel yet I can make nandroids contrary to what you just stated
[Atrix 4G Android Development] _Alex_:
Was one of the first people to flash 1.2, still working great 6 hours later, on N_01.77.30P w/ Alien v3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xblike:
the radio is not necessary，im on N_1.77.30P，also works fine for me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wicked_beav:
Can you link to a CWM of that

radio or an SBF only?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Well best I could tell if you can make a Nandroid successfully then /system is not formatted EXT4 and you are fine. I guess you'll really know when you go back to another kernel :p But worst case you come back to this one, fix EXT4 -> EXT3 then go back again (if that makes sense).

This radio isn't "****", in fact I used it at one point, my install was successful in not having the one-bar issue, and I can say it got wonderful reception. Watching the db level it was very sensitive and didn't run all that hot nor draw that much power.

You are not getting one bar reception, It just only displays one bar.

I'm not sure what has to be done to get it to not give just one bar. I think it either mush be flashed with the radio turned off, and SIM removed, but I have not tested this theory. The other theory is that you must do a full wipe after flashing it, that would suggest that one file in the /data partition is causing it.

Something I have noticed is that under status the ecno value does not change like it should. I'm guessing this is where the error comes in.

WiFi working

Thanks Kholk, you pointed me in the right direction. I was able to get WIFI working after flashing back to the stock kernel provided by faux.

Directions:

If you are useing Faux123's kernel Try this:

Flash the stock kernel he provides on his site.

Before reboot remove SIM card (this may not be nessasary)

Boot and Check airplane mode (this too may not be nessasary)

Shut down and install Kholk's kernel.

It worked for me. I'm still one 1.77.30R, Which btw Only would take after flashing back to Faux kernel. I don't know why, but if something in system has to do with it then It could be because I flashed kernel With EXT4 then radio first time... IDK.

Now I gotta deal with finger print not working and other issues...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
stop being disrespectful (the way you're posting things make you sound so)

we get these ROMs and kernels for free so don't rant on about how it doesn't work

you can ask or read previous posts where that issue was explained

Edit: I'm going to try again with this kernel tonight....fingers crossed no random reboots

but isn't Faux's kernel Ext4 as well?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
From his thread:

"Added EXT4 support (NOT ENABLED YET) "
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
hmmm oh well

no issues back on faux's kernel

I'll nandroid and try again tonight
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
will this work over cm7 prebeta
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I believe a few pages back kholk said it was not ment for CM7.

Typically CM ROM's use a different kernel (due to the AOSP nature) then do blur/sense/wiz ROMs.

You can always try, worst case is it doesn't work and you flash your CM7 kernel back over it. (make sure you have the stock one or one that works first). (Truly worst case is you brick it in the process, I won't lie, But it is unlikely).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EGM92:
I flashed the "EternityProject Kernel v1.2 Gingerbread w/SYSTEM EXT4 converter & Auto Tegrapart recognizer (ATT AND INTERNATIONAL)" the phone booted but was extremely slow due to the tegrapart not being detected properly. I only have 90-150mb available.

Flashing faux123's "Atrix-GB-Kernel-0.1.6-ext4-sv.zip" fixes the memory issue but breaks the wifi.

Anyone have a solution ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Try flashing the stock kernel provided on Faux123's thread. see if that fixes wifi, then try his OC if you desire, else use the correct one from kholk's.

If that fails you may need to flash the radio again, but it seems to me that wifi error is due to kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kholk:
Strange, because yesterday we've tried my package's method with 3 users and it worked out normally!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] megazero:
flashed EternityProject Kernel v1.2 Gingerbread w/SYSTEM EXT4 converter & Auto Tegrapart recognizer

getting the memory problem, not flashing the correct tegrapart..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kholk:
Okay, I have to fix it :P

Anyway, I think I'll use eval-'s kernel patch for the tegrapart. It should work very well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wicked_beav:
I wasn't disrespectful... cause I talked **** about the radio that is "mandatory". Seriously, get a life. Now that's disrespectful, worry about you buddy.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
well you don't have to call the radio "****" and if you did read the previous posts others have this kernel working fine on other radios

there are countless others out there on this forum that pollute the place....which is why some very nice devs have left
[Atrix 4G Android Development] smohk:
I've flashed the v1.0 and now v1.2 of this kernel. My experience has been pretty good so far. It seems though after 24 hours or so and the battery being below 40% I start getting the random reboots. Not sure if it is my phone or what but this has happened on both versions. when I start getting the reboots I'll flash back to stock and everything seems fine. Just something I've noticed...maybe help, maybe not.

Thanx Kholk for the great work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
I can report the same.....my phoen was fine overnight but then in the mroning after 30mins~ it rebooted and then started randomly rebooting every 30mins or so~
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EclipseX:
don't work on [ROM] CHERRYπ & πCRUST v0.6

completly freeze and reboots
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wicked_beav:
Well it obviously don't work on mine, whether it's due to the radio or not... I have no clue. If what I said made a "dev" leave... well good riddance. The comment was not directed at the dev and either way, it comes with the territory listening to the criticism. It wasn't an "ungrateful" comment. Either way, it is what it is, and I appreciate what everyone does for this community and have been a part of it since day 1.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] foreverzero89:
why does this kernel only have two scaling options?

and the performance one seems like the ondemand scaler from other ROMs and kernels.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Seriously you guys need to go read

http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=997

Sorry if this adds to the useless post on this thread but it's on two pages of bickering. If your not happy with Kholk's work then use someone else's, edgan and faux both have custom kernels and you can always do the stock one.

**edit**

My point is not that you can't talk about their work, the point is that none of the comments are helping with the development of the kernel. Basically your post should be "this and that are not working, I'm switching to another kernel until fixed" and keep your opinion of the person or their work to your self. I mean if you really wanna talk crap about a Dev's work then start with doing something better then them, and then post it and say how it works and theirs didn't. Otherwise don't complain about what you get for free. Point out the bugs or make feature request and move on.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Yeah you're right. It works so well that I feel terrible about all the things that were said...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Daniel_GB:
where did u get the wireless.ko file?

is this kernel work on 1.83?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
So what do these updated drivers do? Im confused on what this updated kernal actually does?

Also I'm scared to even try this. First he says hes done with us because of how others acted and now he releases a kernal. Whats it do, steal all my information. LOL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
I bet the change log in the OP should answer that question.

since another dev got it working, I'm going to assume that it works and either more clear instructions need to be posted. Or, just wait for the "guide for dummies" to be posted on brief mobile.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
He still needs to post the second part. Haters need to keep out still, and I know ask if then will use it and deny it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
Great

Great work kholk!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
i'm still waiting for someone to say where wireless.ko came from... i don't even have a modules folder in system/lib. i'm on HKTW 2.3.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
Only at&t has the bootloader solution :-\

Stock Bell Atrix on Rogers with updated radio, Rooted, deodexed, Honeycomb theme, and frozen!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tikerz:
Neither do I.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Hell, it doesn't matter anyway... The quote in your post doesn't mean anything, unless backed up with some damn instructions... I have an unlocked bootloader on AT&T, and I flashed it with fastboot and got a soft brick. Moreover, as far as the wireless.ko goes, I have no idea where to get it. I can find the mmcblk0p1 just fine (via ssh), but even if I had the wireless.ko, there is no /system/lib/modules/ folder to push it to.

**Edit**

And what 7 users said thank you, without so much as a single confirmation that anyone has this working?? Anyone??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
I just done a search in root explorer and waited 5 minutes to find no wireless.ko if it's a specialty file, it should be included
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
You would think so, wouldn't you :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
lol why is it every time something new breaks, it's like 10:00pm on a work night
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
That's great! Except that freaking Step 1 doesn't work! Forget about getting to the subsequent steps involving the wifi module. Why even post this yet, if it's incomplete?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
It wasn't obvious by the directory you have to place it in? MODULES. Derp.

Also, its your guy's fault if you brick if you flash something that is version 0.1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
If something will brick your phone, it needs to say so VERY LARGELY at the front of the post
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
Wow, I didn't know we were in kindergarten and needed to be told not to play with our older siblings toys.

Also, it said step one needed wireless.ko. And, the 2dcour said it was needed.

I swear xda needs us to sign something saying we know this can brick our devices
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
So have you gotten this to install correctly? The kernel, wireless.ko, etc.??

If so, perhaps you will grace us with your superior intellect, and point us to where the update.zip is located referenced in Step 2, or the wireless,ko referenced in the second portion of the OP. Or why there is NOT a modules directory anywhere on my phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
Wireless.ko hadn't been provided yet

You make the modules directory.

Kholk doesn't have wireless to upload the files.

No, I haven't installed it because I read the instructions

There
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
And we get the wireless.ko from where then for our particular device, or is it not device specific?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Clienterror:
Read it, and didn't see anything saying people aren't allowed to talk about the quality of a devs work. They probably are using someone else's kernel at this point but that doesn't mean they can't express their opinion of it. Someone earlier said his stuff was "crap" which is fine it's his opinion. I personally am not a huge fan of his work but I don't think it's crap by any means. In other words don't be so sensitive to someone else's opinion, you love his stuff, great. He doesn't good for him, now let's move on.

@Kholk

thanks for this amazing kernel. 2 days using .30p radio and 0 random reboots or anything wrong (kenn´s beta 4.5).

just one question: we are working now at 1.2ghz, but the performance is very similar to faux´s kernel at 1.1ghz.

Can you tell me in terms of pure performance, what´s the difference between your 1.2 ghz kernel and Faux´s kernel?.

Thanks again!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crashingout:
Back on topic it is Mr Clown, But not before I thank everyone for the removal of the biggest debbie downer on the Atrix forums to ever grace our glorious Development corner, glad Exador is gone, we need people like Kholk, not the useless troll who never contributed.

Topic: Kholk, I don't know if this is an issue, but all my overclocking experience says we should at least investigate the following:

One fellow a few pages back mentioned he was hitting 57c, and I have heard as high as 145-150 F for one person pre-overclocking.(under stress, however)

Since I know the Tegra 2 can thermally throttle and has heat protections mechanisms, not to mention the myriad benefits of a colder processor running at higher speeds, I think we should check out this variable.

take battery door off atrix , put atrix in a bag, or other suitable "condom" and put it in a thermoelectric refrigerator or a real refrigerator, anything cold enough will do, and proceed to test higher voltages and higher frequencies with your engineering Atrix at low temperatures. I think by removing the heat from the equation temporarily we can explore higher freqs. and voltages, and see where the barriers lay with one variable, heat, being a nonissue. We don't want to hit thermal throttling, and we want to figure out what kills battery the most (overclocked GPU is my guess). Tegra has been pushed pretty hard with the Xoom, I really think we need to explore our limiting factors here.

One little thing I haven't been able to find, is AVP the term for our system bus?

I cannot fathom what else it could be, how tolerant is it of our overclocking it?

If we can hit 1.5ghz with your engineering atrix and this, then we can scale it down, figure out a pattern for safe voltages, and then try and slowly ramp up a retail atrix while its sitting in the freezer with higher and higher voltages. If we find out that the retail atrix hates heat for example, we will have found an important barrier. The Xoom is better equipped to handle all that heat at 1.7 ghz, I wouldn't think that's doable with our phone.

Then again..... http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/11/14/t-mobile-g2-overclocked-to-1-9-ghz-hitting-2700-in-quadrant/

heh, still slower than a stock clocked atrix running CM7 beta....heard 4700??!!

Oh well, quadrant is nonsense.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Clienterror:
The reason they get similar benches is because kholks kernel has stock clocks with the GPU and fauxs is OCed. If you saw a breakdown of the quarant bench the CPU score would be higher and gpu lower, where fauxs would have lower CPU and higher GPU, so the end score is very similar to one another. If kholk OCed the GPU it would get higher quadrant scores than fauxs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
thanks for the info!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] porkaysi:
i too was running the .30p radio 0 issues or reboots with functional wifi, i was running aura rom. i ran higher linpack scores with the kholk kernels and quandrants were the same as faux's kernel but the scores were more consistant with faux's kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BraveDemon:
Running Kholk's latest 1.2 kernel on Ninja SF, with 1.77.30P radio.

I decided to try it out since the latest set of Faux's kernels on the CM7 prebeta and GB builds (since Ext4 support) were giving me lower scores than stock Atrix scores on CF bench as seen below:

Runing Faux's OC 0.1.6 GB kernel on Ninja SF, with 1.77.30P radio.

I'm guessing that the low scores with Faux's (wasn't like this pre EXT4 builds) is something having to do with read/writes with the EXT4 format, which I'm sure Faux will hammer out in future builds.

In my experience, Kholk's kernel is fairly stable so long as I don't undervolt anything - whereas with Faux I can undervolt decently.

As always, take bench marks with a grain of salt, I only posted this to show the potential of our machines with this kernel build with devs like Kholk and Faux.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I was going to ask Kholk if we knew what was limiting the phones to 1.1 or in this case 1.2GHz. So it sounds from what your saying CrashingOut that Kholk's engineering phone doesn't have the speed cap ours seems to have. So why/what is limiting ours?

Second question is why do we think that the xoom has better cooling? I would hope that Moto, planning this thing to dock as a laptop, would have planned on it running hot and built the cooling best they could. But who knows.

I think we could use the xooms physical limits on freq and voltages as a base line . It shouldn't be hard to make a kernel that can push to 1.7GHz and test raising the freq one step at a time, testing the core temp with each one.

Also as a point: while most OC's for processors say 60degC is max, most IC's are good to 80degC. However I realize that that is a immediate junction temp max and the thermostat might not immediately see that temp. My i5 intel is good to 90deg and I've pushed it there. It too thermally throttles, I say bounce it off the limit and let the processor throttle if we can :p :eek: But for testing purpose I don't think we need to worry about cooling until we see the processor throttle or hit 60deg~65deg.

Oh also I am pretty sure that the major battery consumer will still be the display, even if we OC the heck out of it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crashingout:
Well, for testing purposes it is useful to eliminate heat as a potential issue because there is more than just thermal throttling to worry about, there is increased electrical noise and electron leakage on the chip itself, we are dealing with very small architectures that are unknowns as far as stray current tolerance and the heat/noise equation.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
True but it's the same chip as in the xoom right? I'm just thinking the baseline for what is possible at ambient temps has been proven. But if we want to make a record out of it, I know where to get liquid Nitrogen. We could dump the sucker in there and aim for 2.2GHz :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leets4uc3:
+6 on that idea

Sent from my MB860
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crashingout:
Ahem, I for one, am -320 on that idea, I've got a dewar handy....though I don't think my original suggestion of a plastic baggie will suffice for this job...

/joking aside, I would think the Xoom has better heat management simply due to the fact that it is bigger, has a screen which makes more heat, is metal backed, has a stock GPU clock higher than ours, ram that doesn't behave like an SOC solution which requires special clocks, I could go on, but I don't like being depressing, that was Exadors duty......oh wait.... :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Well I'm all for playing it safe... wait... no I'm not, that's why I took the risk, rooted and OC'd my phone. I took it to the brink of brick and back.

As far as the processor goes, look here wikipedia may not be the best place to research but if it is true, both 1GHz versions are the same except for the GPU they work with. Sure the xoom has a higher clock GPU,that doesn't change the fact they've OC'd the CPU to 1.7GHz. Both use the same RAM solution. SOC... Sure I guess. I've always thought SOC was a better solution anyway. You pointed out that the xoom screen would make more heat then the Atrix, hence more total package heat. Yes the metal case may help but then the processor is not in any way coupled to the case other then with air. In fact looking at tear down photos, it looks like the CPU has a RF shield over it. That would sort of trap the heat in.

I haven't studied these two devices to any deep extent. And I never did study my N1 or EVO before over clocking them to the tilt. I agree with what you are saying but I think it is over cautious. I just want a kernel to OC to 1.5GHz or what ever my Box will let it get to.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Daniel_GB:
@ kholk

i used ur EXT4 kernel and so my system partition converted as ext4!

but now i cant install anything from CWM recovery!

it seems it cant reach my system partition!

any way to convert back to ext3?without flashing a sbf or formating the system partition?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
do a nandroid backup and flash the stock kernel and see
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I found if you wipe /system then use advanced restore from CWM to restore it. Hopefully you have a Nandroid from before you flashed the kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Daniel_GB:
so at first i should format the /system

then restore my system.img from my last backup!

then flash the non-EXT4 kernel!

is this what u mean?
