Don't **** with me it works for cm7, oxygen and miui, end of story.

Ok, let's see what I can come up for an answer of that question from vlc_marcos.

Nexus S comes with an Hummingbird chipset, the strongest single core chipset in the market, and comes with a PowerVR 540 GPU, apart from Mali 400 from SGS2 there is no better GPU avaliable yet. Even Galaxy Nexus will come with a PowerVR 540, but clocked 384mhz instead of the 200mhz in the Nexus S.

That being said, there are some other differences too. Nexus comes formated with Ext4 by default in /system and /data while /cache and some other partitions come with Yaffs2 (named Yet Another Flash File System). In my experience and knowledge both these file systems are way faster than the ext3 that comes by default in all X5 roms. Remember OEX from knzo? It was mounted in ext4 plus mounting tweaks that speeds the **** out of it - there you had a glimpse of true speed.

This Nexus chipset is so strong that with 400/1000 speeds I can achieve better multitasking, better speed, and more consistency than I could ever achieve even with 1800/1800 in the X5, and yes it's WAY noticeable. With this I'm not saying X5 is bad, not really, but the Nexus is just too good.

The Hummingbird CPU is specially optimized for multitasking thus maintaining high smoothness while I'm listening to music, playing FFIX on the PS1 emulator and sending SMS at the same time, unbeatable.

About the kernel features you asked about, I might be able to experiment a thing or two yes, let's wait for .35 and see what I can come up with ;)

I hope the answer was what you were asking for!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
I understand everything, is amazing. I knew that was better but i never try to find why this us the true. After all this i want one to :) i could sell mine to have one ;)

So after arrive the new .35 try to use all the magic this that you know ;)

But can we format the normal cm7 in ext4, if yes where i can find information's about it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] demolition23:
Agree for waiting! In a couple of weeks will have update!

That was a great answer man!, thanks for that. I might actually consider gettin this phone in some time :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DTSpawn:
Thanks for ur gr8 support of U8800, franco, but will you also support U8800 Pro?

I swaped from U8800 to Pro model and missing ur core a lot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmallen3:
please help, i want to install cm7 and this kernel. What to install fist,kernel or the new rom? how can i install kernel?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
first install the rom with the recovery, after restart the phone and go again to the recovery to do a full wipe, devil and normal cash and instal the kernel in the instal option
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmallen3:
if i do full wipe after the install of the new rom and then install the kernel,my phone will not have a rom inside and then will not open or not?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So what I say. the full wipe is only to clean the rom before install the kernel. Is not needed but I do this all the time because sometimes I have some mistakes
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tiagovale2:
Dude wait, what?

If he wipes data he'll erase the ROM!

jmallen3, flash the ROM with a full wipe (data+cache+dalvik and you'll erase all data or just a cache and dalvik wipe if it's an update from a rom you already have installed). To flash this (or any other) kernel, do exactly like you would do to flash a ROM, but without any wipe.

Or just simply use ROM Manager. It's much more simple.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:
1. Full wipe

2. Install rom followed by flashing the kernel

3. Done.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kajolas:
First rom, reboot and theb kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
Btw, wipe doesnt erase the rom. Its like factory reset, All user data is erased not the roms files.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] daledale11:
hey franco, please update your kernel ...

compiling the kernel

Hello franco! I need your help on compiling the kernel or anyone else who knows ho to do it.

I present the steps i've followed so far.

git clone https://github.com/franciscofranco/u8800-kernel.git
cd u8800-kernel
export PATH=$PATH:~/arm-2011.03/bin
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-none-
make

Then i have my new zImage at arch/arm/boot/zImage.

From there i want to put it directly into a boot.img and flash it with the whole rom.

What i do is decompile my pre existing working boot.img with this tool http://files.coralic.nl/unpack-bootimg.pl.

So i got boot.img-ramdisk there.

Then i do

repack-bootimg.pl zImage boot.img-ramdisk newboot.img

And i have my newly created newboot.img. Then i put it to my rom dir as boot.img zip it and sign it and flash it to my device.

Unfortunately though it doesn't boot at all after the Ideos logo it goes blue.

So i know am doing something wrong here but i dunno what it is :)

I would appreciate very much helping me or pointing me to a direction :)

Thanks in advance!

Some ppl are addicted to update-update-update ! I dont think I will change this kernel to any update or another one,unless it changes something special and usefull.It's working perfect with geno's cm7 and i think is working prfect with other roms too. Battery life is also excellent,so be happy to have this kernel guys,there's no reason to update atm.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sewa2k:
if you see only blue screen when you boot your own kernel, refer to my experience, edit .config, change 2 lines as below instead of comment out CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_NT35582_WVGA=y should fix it

CONFIG_FB_MSM_MDDI_AUTO_DETECT=y

CONFIG_FB_MSM_TRY_MDDI_CATCH_LCDC_PRISM=y
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Huawei sucks because it takes them a long **** of time to release a bloody 2.3 update, so here it is a kernel update, should run fine. Enjoy.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Huawei U8800 support is a piece of crap. deadline postponed over and over again. We'll see if they can release a decent 2.3 rom until end of November.

By the way, thanks for the update. going test this as I study for the electric circuits exam tomorrow :)

cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
Firstly thanks ALLOT for the update :)

i have 1 question though, i searched and read some staff about Deadline i/o scheduler and its a good one to use, but why choose this one over Sio or over the rest schedulers, is there any particular reason?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Because I've been running it for over a month on my Nexus S and after I tweaked it it produced the best and most consistent results.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
X5 need u man great work I will test now thank u
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
That was all i need :) thank you again!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sewa2k:
Can u port this to u8800-51 please? (the mach-msm kconfig for this phone is in u8800pro source) i've tried to port it (modifying arch/arm/msm-mach/Kconfig), compiles fine but when im pack the boot.img and transfer to the phone, it doesnt boot =(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] oguzhan mobile:
thanks guy try it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
damn this sh*t is fast as hell. CM7 and your new kernel, just like wings for poor huawei u8800 lol.

IDK if I lost some freakin points on benchmark(useless by the way), this thing is really fast in menu transition and opening apps.

Hope battery can last a few hours more too.

Really appreciate your work francisco!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nnkk:
thanks man Goodmorning
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
Thanks Franco. I'm still running Sep17 :-) will try this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:
Thanks for the kernel Franco, I'm eager to test it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
I installed this on CM7.181111. No more 99RamFranco on init.d ?

Thanks Francisco
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
@Franco

Thanks for new kernel. You've promised a logcat enable version, but maybe you forget.

Nevermind, I've managed to compile the kernel from your sources. I just want to ask if there are some newer tweaks or modifications from 17th November on this version which was the date I've compiled the kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] btrst:
it doesnt work with 2.2 roms i guess. bootloops.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] swayjd:
MIUI, Oxygen and CM7: http://www.multiupload.com/8HXGGJ9WJC

what part of this didn't you understand? Its pretty self explanatory.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Yikes, I forgot to include logger.ko. Yes there are a lot of changes, I commited everything some hours ago, you should re-compile.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Ok, I will.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Thank you man. This kernel really rocks! My ideos is flying....

Thanks again!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so what is the best i/o, the noop or the deadline?? for batery of course

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
after some testing with quadrant I saw that dedline is more stable with most of the scores about 700-800, and very few lower or greater. On the other hand noop gave me some scores close to 900 but also some about 300-350 and the rest about 700 also... But i don't know about the battery consumption :D sorry!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ahahahah, very good. i knew that was going to get this ansewr. because iam also looking to the performance ot it so i ask this to see if someone was looking to the other part, the battery live :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
If I set deadline as default which one do you think will be the best overall?...can't be more obvious.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] edarr:

great work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok ok franco you are right.

something franco, i dont have interactive governor
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
No? Maybe I forgot to enable it. I'll check it a bit later, thanks for the warning ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Strange but there is no ringtone looping. It rings only once and then just vibrates. Does anyone experienced similar problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I think that is not related to the kernel. You should post that in the rom's topic.

As always, great work franciscofranco :D

EDIT: My phone just asked me for a SIM network unlock pin or something like that. I clicked dismiss and it's working now, don't know what that was. Using MIUI 1.11.04 and I have ESET installed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
how to change the i/o scheduler?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Use the application no frills is on the market and free
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Why would you want to change schedulers?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nnkk:
It's missing I've just checked my X5.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
i don't want to change it really, i just want to mess around with them xD
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
hahah:D sorry! I obviously just wanted to say that!! But I assume battery life doesn't depend much on shedulers. But maybe I'm wrong...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Thanks for the update. Everything runs smooth as ever. I don't really understand people demanding updates so often because the previous kernel was absolutely great and this works great too. But I guess progress is the key word. Anyways, thank you Franco for this kernel, couldn't do without it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
I can confirm that Interactive Governor is not updatetd (not present at all).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] btrst:
why did you remove the vr on schedulers? i thought it was the best.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Franco, with this new version of the kernel, some stuff is saying device is nand-locked or something... for example, using font changer or trying to update Su binary through superuser... root explorer can still mount partitions as rw but doing those other things results in those write access locked errors... reverting to previous kernel fixes that...

Am running autokiller memory optimizer root, but superuser for some reason does not remember my permission I gave it. It keeps asking for it again and again like almost 10 times. Is this the same issue as above?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Because I locked minfree settings because otherwise ****ing init.rc would change my optimized values on boot and I don't want that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maggotor:
I'll take your word for it, since am sure I hardly know as much as you when it comes to performance optimizing. Playing around with autokiller memory optimizer makes no sense then? You're already chosen what you think is the best memory config?

Thank you for this! Makes my phone feel much better now.

Hello! I have an X5 with a completely broken power button.

Can i flash CWM using rom manager and through it install this kernel?

Will i be able to unlock screen with vol+/- as I do now with stock rom?

Phone is rooted with z4root
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Hi, ,,,i have a question ...for a friend.....

Can this kernel flashed in rooted stock rom or he must flash a rom first?????
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
Yes no problem at all. I use miui and don't need to use the power button at all. This one has a 4 way reboot menu that allow you to boot in recovery, bootloader, etc.

But, when you power off how do you power back on????
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Is there anyway to keep the minfree values unlocked? I love the new kernel release but i prefer the control to be on my hands for that matter, as i noticed performance degradation over 04-oct release in the loading times of resource-heavy applications (eg dungeon defenders, sprinkle, cordy) in which the game will stuck in loading due to the min free settings. Reverting back to 04-oct release fixes that problem. (Tried it multiple times)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Sure thing. Update is planned for next thursday ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so what can we expect? you have already something planned?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
You will see soon enough anyway, but surely more speed, guarantee you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
and there is a word that i like :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jastonas:
Is there a way to implement in this kernel the feature to power on the phone when plugging in AC/USB power?

Sure hope the next release will support the latest 2811 cyanogenmod ROm from geno. I wonder why it can't use your kernel for this latest release.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Neither do I, I'm sure he jinxed his build to prevent users to flash my **** (I'm partially joking here, I'm sure he didn't do on purpose).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
But why, us there a reasiin for that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
If this is true, its a bit of a **** move... his kernel is draining my battery as ****
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
I don't believe in that. What does genokolar win with that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
2.6.35 has been released, hope that Franco will release the modified version soon, with many many amazing tweaks.

I was having troubles with latest update with smartassv2.

Consecutive reboots...

And since smoothass was working fine with my phone with good battery life, I've reverted back to 0410.

Why did you remove smoothass from the latest release? Any particular reason? I was a little disappointed when I saw it wasn't there and smartassv2 didn't work on my phone.

And I don't know why, but the bestest release on my phone with smartassv2 was the 1709.

Could you make all previous releases available for download, even if you don't support them?

(won't get any complaints from me if they work badly! :) )

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
I don't know if franciscofranco even has them in compiled form anymore, but you could pull previous versions from the git and compile them. That would take some time though, setting up the build env etc.. There's compiling instructions in my franco.kernel changes pre-release thread if you want to try. When it's all set up, you could just git pull revfoo and compile, then test on phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] duartemv:
That would require some study since its not my area of expertize...

And time is something I don't have to spare right now, at least for this subject...

I was hoping that some users might have the previous releases stored in their computers or phones, like me, and make them available.

I only have the latest 2 of Franco and the latest 3 of dzo.

Guess I'll have to manage and wait to see what comes next!

As always, great job!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] duartemv:

From what I remember, until the 29th I had no problems with smartass2.

I'm asking for all 4 because I don't remember which was more stable, but I'll settle with what you can provide.

When the frequency table was changed to 400,500... values, that's when it started going bad.

Hello :)

First of all, thank you Franco for an awesome kernel ^_^

But the latest version in conjuction with the latest MIUI Rom for U8800, truly drains a huge amount of battery power in a much little time...

Is there any other kernel at all, that increases battery time?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] birginioss:
So it looks like there wont be any newer official release and the official kernel will remain at this level of development.Will it be possible to have a new .35.7 ff kernel to fit our ROMS (miui,oxygen, etc -not the officials!)?

Edit:I guess we wait for the source code for the new kernel. Who gives a damn for the official rom :p

-thanks in advance for your time and efforts!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
it's pro version kernel..so nope there will be no changes..and we don't need them, cause we have fully working kernel .32..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
What are you talking about?

It' s not for pro, it' s for regular U8800. The kernel from pro already released a month ago.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
.35 kernel source is same for both phone. Huawei just changed the name ;) All the ROMs that were made by now use the kernel build from pro source AFAIK.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
So... is there an chance that this means progress around the .32 -> .35 change?

I'm really hanging out for someone to work out what gets changed by the official GB release, so that we understand and can work with a single-step kernel/rom install that gets us from a .32 (eg geno's old CM7.1 which I love) to a .35 rom (eg geno's new rom, which i wanna try).

I really hate the idea of loading the official release first, as it makes roll-back so much more complex. We should be able to switch from rom to rom without that step, surely?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
You can flash official 2.3.5 which works really well for me. I have just rooted it and did some performance tweak and it runs really nice (without OC) + it has HDR photos, SRS WOWHd sound, call reject sms menu... I thought that I am going to switch to custom .35 kernel ROMs immediatly but now I really stated to like official 2.3.5 and the custom ROMs are too buggy for now... The only problem with official 2.3.5 is locked bootlaoder which can be solved by flashing beta2 instead of final release ;)

And i forgot to mention in my previous posts that i mean all the .35 kernel ROMs made by now use the pro kernel source AFAIK.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeostarNeko:
The pro and standard kernel are the same, just that Huawei are messing with us :D
