faux123, I'm a noob. First time compiling a kernel for Android. Was a bit confused with making an img and flashing.

I extracted the kernel and ramdisk from the boot.img in your CM7 kernel zip in the OP. I replaced the kernel and remade the image. I flashed it with fastboot. That's right, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Faux, my webtop issues are the same that has already been described. Too status bar does not work or disappears. Phone runs very slow.

My setup is stock webtop and running aura rom.

Thanks again for your hard work, will keep an eye out for other kernels to test.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rpolansky:
Yes, using the clemsys (modified faux kernel) seems to eliminate the problem. (after 5 or so reboots no widget problems)

Thanks very much,

Ron
[Atrix 4G Android Development] faux123:
Well, I haven't seen any pull request from him, so I don't know what he did to change/fix the widget issues.

Remember, Open source is great and all, but unless the changes and/or fixes

flow back upstream

, then it won't be as good as its original intended ideals/goals.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Try wiping cache before and after the flashing of new kernel. i never had any kernel related wifi or widget issues ever :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Also try rebooting again after the initial reboot.

Regarding wifi issues just go back into recovery and wipe caches. Should be good to go after reboot.

Hi Faux123,

I had setup the zram using above method and when i type free, the swap is all in 0 and no changes..

can u assist..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 95rr900:
Good news is that according to my setcpu widget, I have set to 1300 max and a profile for 1000 max while charging (Atrix charges in the lapdock). The widget stays at 1000 when I look at the phone in mobile view, so that seems to be working:)

Bad news:( The webtop panel is still unresponsive.

Here is what I did:

wiped cache/dalvik

installed kernel

rebooted

tried it...no go.

rebooted again into recovery

wiped cache/dalvik

rebooted

tried it...no dice.

Thanks for working on this, I want to completely redo my phone and webtop mod. Hoping for a working OC kernel for it.

feel free to throw up the test kernels, I'm not all that concerned if something gets boogered up. Just try not to brick me.....:eek:

Thanks again!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] faux123:
Ok... next version coming :D

Thanks for the feedback!

another retro 020 to narrow down webtop issues!

http://www.multiupload.com/WR42UQZU54
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
WAHOO!! That appears to be it. I dl, wiped dalvik, booted, and started webtop.

We appear to be good, the top panel is responsive and displays correct updates and signal strength. A quick check of top from the command line shows webtop-panel consistently using about 1-5% of the CPU.

I will keep testing for a little bit, but this looks promising.

------------EDIT 10:24 AM -------------------

After a bit more tinkering we are still good.

Also, the webtop-panel usage has dropped to generally 0% CPU usage. I am not sure if there was some background stuff going on at boot or if a recurring notification that I cleared solved the problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 95rr900:
Yes indeed.....my findings are the same!!! The only thing I have noticed is the setcpu widget, even though I have a profile of 1000 max while charging it will go up to 1300 at times. It doesn't stay there, and I don't know if it's the kernel or setcpu? Just letting ya know what I see.

BUT, AWESOME, you fixed it!! Thanks a lot!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stewartsoda:
It looks like it's based off v 020, which still had issues with that IIRC.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] faux123:
Not quite done yet... another few versions coming.. I need to narrow down to exact issue. so far you have eliminated a group of patches.. but there's another group and I need to know the EXACT OFFENDING patch in order to get rid of it once and for ALL!

New versions coming

Retro 020 version

http://www.multiupload.com/CPOZ1CW0FJ
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 95rr900:
Webtop panel still works. The only thing I notice, and it may be just because I'm watching it longer? The cpu seems to be going lower then before, it is fluctuating between 216-1300. profile is active for 1000 max when charging, still going over.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
This one still works. No issues for me. Top bar is functional and webtop-panel is near 0% CPU usage.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 95rr900:
Ya, I think at this point we are just helping him narrow it down to where it all went wrong. Once that happens and he adds the fixes for setcpu, I think we will be golden....which is outstanding!!

@ faux123

I just flashed 1.3 OC GB kernel version 022 in order to enable zram for webtop use (it is now my main computer since I used webtop2sd and webtopscripts lol.) Like nameejokerx mentionned earlier on page 251, when I type "swapon -a" and "free" in android terminal, i see no change whatsoever in zram (it always says 0...)

Was there a missing/mistyped command on the instructions or something?

I know you are busy tracking down the webtop panel issue and I am very grateful for that, even though I always disable it on startup lol (which means no slowdown issue because of it.) I use xfce4-panel instead, which is another webtop-panel-like taskbar which works much better for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
You may have to initialize the zram devices. A quick google search resulted in this old cached page which may help:

Won't even load the webtop. I get the boot up animated M logo and then I am just left with a large M that slowly moves around the screen (screensaver?)

I will try a reboot and try again, but it looks like this one is non-functional.

Help a noob...

Just got my atrix here in Brazil, and after a long long reading process I have decided to maintain my froyo rom e update only my radio and kernel, just rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader, than I installed the last romracer bootloader plus the 1.77.36p radio. Now I want to get a good kernel, with a intension to make my battery last, so no overclock, just something to maintain the same speed, but with a better battery life and it does have to maintain the compatibility of the normal kernel.

However, when I opened your topic Mr. Faux123, I noticed that my froyo rom OLYLA_U4_0.50.0_R03 it is not the same that your Froyo Kernel was designed to (OLYFR_U4_1.8.3).

So here are my question Mr. Faux123?

1. Is there a kernel made to my rom?

2. Does the nonoverclocked version increases the battery life without sacrificing the compatibility?

3. Can I upgrade it via Android Recovery (CWM .zip format)?

Thanks, from your future donator.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
BAD NEWS - That didn't do it. It is back to having a non-responsive top panel and webtop-panel is maxed at 100% CPU usage.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] faux123:
Ok.. interesting...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 95rr900:
Pheeeew, I was literally seconds from flashing it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Frankzor:
@ krkeegan

Thanks for the documentation. But after looking at other forums for zram enabling on other Android devices, I still got problems. I cannot initialize zram at all (I got permission denied even when I typed <su> in terminal before proceeding further), nor I cannot make the terminal state if zram is already initialized or not (zramconfig: no such file exists.) The files zram0 and zram1 are there though (in /system/block directory.)

There IS one thing I realized though: zram DOES work if I DO NOT type <swapon -a> and I type instead <swapon /dev/block/zram0> or <swapon /dev/block/zram1>. When I type <free> afterwards, it is not 0 0 0 anymore.Whether it improves webtop performance or not, that is something I have to say after I played with those new settings for a while.

@ faux123

Is there another terminal command instead of <swapon -a> for enabling ALL of zram? Lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjsoviet:
Okay, I tried to clear the cache and rebooting after the initial boot (thanks guys for the ideas) but the methods don't seem to work unfortunately. Something must have broken the radio here... is it possible that this is due to the EXT4 script I patched in beforehand? I remember applying it last week.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
I'm running the latest cm7 weekly and the newest 1.45 ghz oc kernel by faux. I wanted to post this because I remember someone posting something about this earlier and I wanted to confirm. If u set the overclock to 1200 Max on this kernel, it will cause stuttering and slow down performance. Then if u pull it down to 800 it causes it to stick and stay running at that frequency until a reboot. Upon reboot, the speed is fine and is back to the min of 216. So in closing works great with the 800 underclock after a reboot but stutters when scrolling at 1200.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
I believe there is a difference though..............no UV option with the kernel that comes with CM7. The stopgap+ gives you UV'ing.

Hello all.. hoping faux can help me out. I am running cm7 on my atrix and I downloaded the 1.3 kernel and my processor got so hot 138.2 degrees that it shutdown my phone and had to do a battery pull.. I since have downgraded to 1.0 ghz kernel for cm7 and am seeing if I experience over heating issues. Anyone know why this happened while running 1.3ghz kernel?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevehkim:
It just depends on what your phone likes. Did u undervolt? My phone doesnt like the 1.3 kernel either. But loves.the 1.45 and i can undervolt that kernel like nothing. Try the 1.45ghz.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mphill46:
Tedious undervolted.. I undervolted all to -100mv... that just froze on my enhanced 1.0ghZ that I have now... now I am trying -75mv... I can't believe the processor got so hit and froze.my phone

. Thanks for the tip I may try flashing 1.45 later
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mphill46:
I will try to mess with the settings again later.. I just don't want to overheat my processor like that to many times.. I am sure that will end up destroying the processor.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mphill46:
What temperatures is everybody's processor running at while using the phone on heavy use... if you can post your temp... what kernel your using and how much you undervolted by... thanks... trying to trouble shoot why my phone keeps freezing and overheating the processor.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
I have the stock kernel zip on my SDCard all the time in the event I have to get out of trouble. In fact, I have come to keep stock versions of pretty much everything needed to make my phone run in a known good state aswell as having nandroid backups.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stewartsoda:
That's a good practice. I usually do the same in case I get myself into trouble.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevehkim:
Im running 1.4ghz underclocked to 1.2 and with heavy use never goes over 54 c. Undervolted at -100, -100, -100, -125, -165, -185. I switch from faux and clemsyn kernel trying to decide which one is right for me.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] JoeM01:
I'm not seeing the link for the CM7 stock kernel. was this removed? If so, can someone post a link so I can get a backup stored to my SD card?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mphill46:
Thanks for you input Steve. I am looking into why it heated up so fast... I am running 1.0ghz enhanced at the moment.. I will try the 1.45 ghz kernel later today and see if I can get that to work properly. Thanks for taking time to post your settings.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevehkim:
No problem. I noticed also right after flashing a new kernel my phone heats up pretty warm. But once everything has settled down and i get my uv'ing in place temps drop and stay pretty consistent even during heavy use. Like i said earlier my phone hates the 1.3ghz kernel. Runs really unstable, reboots, the whole nine yards. Good luck in the quest to finding the right combo for you.

* This kernel solves spending exessivos battery? "my battery're rubbish ... running out very quickly ...

* If I blink, (what you show me), I can continue with 1Ghz? I do not see nescessidade of overclocking, but for its changelog, had many other improvements ..

Which radio and ROM are you using?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zcrugby:
att gb 4.5.91, n_01.77.30p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Okay. I have attached a .zip file you can install in CWM. It will simply undo the changes of the OC kernel by reflashing the stock boot.img and replacing the hacked wifi module with the stock one. I find it helpful to to make one of these before flashing a new kernel, as it makes it really easy to test things out without the pain of reflashing the whole ROM. Cheers!

Edit: anyone else, remember... this is for 4.5.91 with radio 01.77.30p. If you have a different configuration, you would need to revert back by flashing your respective stock boot.img and pushing your stock dhd.ko back to /system/lib.

2nd Edit: Faux123 apparently already posted the CWM for reverting to stock in his OP. I didn't see that. I didn't mean to lead on that I had any new revelations with respect to his work. Consider this post superfluous.
