Odd question, but does this work with the stock froyo rom? does it show a battery improvement with froyo? Also is 368 mhz meant to be the minimum? Why did it switch from the default 122 mhz?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Even odder thing is that i answer to this :D. This kernel does NOT support 2.2. Void has older franco kernel, but im dont think it'll work either, because it has different drivers(if i remember correctly.)

Super boot from modaco will work with b136 and older. It doesnt work very well with b138 and b162.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:
According to Franco himself, he's working on the U8800 kernel in his spare time. He's been very busy working on the Galaxy Nexus lately. Let's see when the Huawei gets some love. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spatjoe:
This will definitely not work with official B522 GB. Right?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:
Nope, this is a 2.6.32 kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RitxAngel:
Hi guys.

I was try to download this kernel but that site, megaupload, never really opens.

Could you host somewhere else and past the link here please?

Thank you

Does anyone else get random reboots with this kernel on conservative governor? Using miui Portugal and had a reboot a day on conservative but don't think I have seen one now I have switched to smart ass v2.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I'm also on MIUI PT and conservative.

Is this kernel the one in MIUI PT or did you flash it seperately?

Anyway, I don't get reboots - on 368/806.

I'll flash this seperately if you did, in order to test? I'm looking for another kernel to try anyway.

Just let me know.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
just the one in the rom, seems to be latest kernel. have also wiped cache/dalvic and fixed permissions so maybe one of those helped too.happy with smartass for now
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xann89:
Just curious, are you using B160 stockwell's rom...?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
I am gonna bump this because I want help :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Kajolas:
How can i flash this kernel? Any instructions?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snaker12:
Can someone confirm that gps works correctly with this new kernel?Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
Kajolas: boot into recovery and Install the kernel from your SDCARD. Same procedure as installing ROM.

snaker12: GPS works fine for me. Fix and lock within 20/30 seconds.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Have anyone else experienced worse multitasking performance with this kernel compared to stock?

For me it's very fast when not running many applications, but it get slower (compared to stock) with more apps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
recomended cpu governor for:

- best performance

- balanced

- best battery

?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
for me it's minmax btn 300 ~ 1100 mhz
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
Why don't you focus on one rom only? so you can do much better job and we all have one awesome rom instead of 3 good roms. it's just an opinion, I'm nothing. :)

Any way thanks a lot for your great work :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mixail777:
Yes i am using: [ROM] B160 - New OC Kernel, Root, Wifi-tether!

Any suggestions about the wifi?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xann89:
Because these custom kernels are meant for MIUI, Oxygen and void roms. It's not compatible with B160 rom. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wmi543:
Try it on your own risk !

I've packed the franco's kernel to the boot.img for stockwell's B160 rom which I'm using, everything is fine. You might need to wipe the Dalvik cache after update.

The kernel is extracted from the boot.img for void which is most similar to B160 rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mixail777:
thanks i will try it!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
CPU governors

I do recommend those who are not at peace with the responsiveness of the smartass cpu governor to try one of these:

brazilianwax: "More aggressive version of smartass"

interactivex: "interactive + suspend code which locks at lowest clock speed when screen is off"

I like these better than smartass, although they likely will draw a little more power.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
One thing I dislike with smartass is, my phone shutters and feels sluggish for few seconds.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Use SavagedZen or Minmax, both feel pretty good to be honest.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
It's exactly this I also dislike about it. But this wasn't as prominent when I ran stock kernel and stock rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Maybe because the smartass code that I use is different, dunno. The other governors are better than smartass though, so no need to worry.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Sorry, I remember now that I ran ondemand, not smartass, on the stock rom/kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_msm7230/

It's possible that those kernels work for us, with some little changes, once the snapdragon is the same msm7230 ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
OK, so it sounds like the same setup as me. Even 2degrees in AKL too lol.

Conservative works fine for me, but I'm not very happy with battery life. It seems to run out very quick with a bit of usage, which CM7 didn't do. How do you find the smartass governor? Better or worse?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
I am finding that I am looking like 2-2.5 days of battery with smartass on 368-806. This in better or on par with oxygen so I am happy with that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] manuelpimenta:
any news?

Hey franscico!

i'm using aurora ics, which is a great ROM, that brings our phone to the top of android update. However, i feel that it's lacking kernel optimization, and there you enter. With your kernel, the 2.3.5 ROM's seem flying, so I'm asking you if there is any news about your .35 kernel.

Appreciate a answer, and thanks for your work. Cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
he is working fot 4 phones he don´t have any time to work on .35 kernl he allready do some things just we can not make wi-fi work :S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] schillerkiller:
well the kernel inside dzo's aurora ics is very optimized.

franco hasn't much more optimizations. (even less than the new dzo-kernel)

The problem why the battery doesn't hold as long as oxygen is that the ICS is an "engineer-build" when he sets it to "userdebug" or "user" the whole ROM would be perfect.

At the moment to improve batterylive you should change governor ,

force the use of GPu for 2D and

change (if it doesn't freeze your phone) minimal cpu-freq to 182Mhz.

Don't forget to hit dzo's Thanksbutton as often as you can.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
I think he already changed build type in 1.9 (its in his changelog) ;) Which governor do you suggest for best performance?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] schillerkiller:
i'm using smartassv2

it's the same implementation as the one from franco.

i'm not sure if its really a user build.

Anyway he replaced many eng-logs by verbose-logs. Maybe if he reveales these changes it will reduce power usage.

My battery held 7-8 days on francokernel. (nearly only deep-sleep on 2g)

with dzo's ICS Kernel it holds 5 days (some usage, wakes seem longer)

all left powersaving Franco could re-implement is disabling the notification-LED.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] arveparve:
Hi there, do someone have the 04102011 which can be used with the newer recovery? I miss smoothass governor. The only governor that does not heat my cpu. And, i actually do not know why.

Any suggestion?

Anyways, have a nice weekend everybody
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
Here you go! I dont remember which recovery it can be used with but this is the only 04102011 version of franco that I know of.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uumeshh:
Does Huawei plan to release a 3.0 kernel. I read somewhere that ICS with 3.0 kernel for u8800 is under development.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
I believe it is Blefish that is working on the 3.0 kernel.

I can't remember where I read that (somewhere on XDA), but I think I remember correctly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
From the Aurora ICS thread:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:
That blefish kernel can we use it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
No, not released.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:
Best wishes blefish release when full ready;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Blefish, i would like that you could put in your new rom the fix for the atmel screen, for after all the phones can use it :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, that's already in plan.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok. and how is the kernel. what can we expect, some extra performance on 3d and 2d more power efficiently
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
We'll see about that when the time comes. Currently, I am working with the main base, which is not working still.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Actually I just compiled the recently released u8860 3.08 kernel source and it runs fine on u8800, will need a few changes to get camera and wifi to work but not too hard.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
They've released the source? Can I have a link?

-EDIT-

Found it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fancyzs:
Nothing is hard nut if dzo comes.:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Seems so :)

U8860 kernel does boot, but I don't get why mine doesn't, so I am checking the code. dzo, are you planning to change yours to 3.0.8?

But I wonder if the Atmel TS code in U8860 is the fixed one, or not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Yes, I am, I got wifi working on it now, just needs camera. I'll put my changes on github soon.

edit: Ok it's here:

https://github.com/dzo/kernel_huawei/tree/master
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kaefert:
Excuse me, but could you clarify if this kernel of you is meant to be a port from the u8860 kernel for the u8800 device, or is this meant to be a custom kernel for the u8860 device?

Whichever, I was not able to build it the same way I am able to build the original kernel from huawei (kernel-3.0.8-U8860-IcecreamSandwich.tar.gz)

I get the following error:

drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1169: Fehler: #error "missing bus glue for ehci-hcd"

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] boss_y:
It is port from the u8860 kernel for the u8800 device.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
HEy people i talk with francisco franco and he tells me that he have not time to made a .35 kernel so don´t espect a .35 franco kernel!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
IMO, from .35 kernel we only need Camera settings. nothing else was improved.

I'm using .35 based roms only because camera libs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
It's a port for u8800, I've added a u8800 defconfig now that will let it build cleanly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mclaudio:
hi.

i install franco kernel via CWR . all goes fine but when i go check kernel version in the phone it does not appear to be kernel from franco...apperantly it is not installing...what can i do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Averell:
Check your CWM, make sure that it is the latest one. I once had the same issue with the old CWM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] addajjal:

Thank you :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I was searching on Google seeing if there was any Franco kernel for the u8860. I. just would like to know is there many bugs on the kernel?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I think there were no major bugs, but I don't know if this is compatible with U8860. Franco only develops for nexus now, this kernel is pretty old.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Nope its not working with u8860 I got into a bootloop

Ps sorry for a late reply tapatalk was acting up on me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] youresocool:
Kernel updated. For now, seems faster and without bugs.

Good job. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
In Antutu and Quadrant I got slightly worst scores with v2 (in same conditions - void fresh install and just RootExplorer and these 2 apps installed).

ROM .void. draco + kernel franco v1 @1Ghz:

Quadrant - 1884

Antutu - 2767

ROM .void. draco + kernel franco v2 @1Ghz:

Quadrant - 1820

Antutu - 2760

Although as this one includes more optimization regarding battery consumption, I'll stick with it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
when can we have a new kernel and what about the idiea of do something that we can change the values of the voltages.

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
no haptic feedback for soft keys on oxygen with this kernel, is that normal?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
yep, once this kernel was updated on 20th july and the lastest oxygen's from today.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
camera problems are normal too then?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
yes.use the build in kernel from any rom at this moment franco doesn't have kernel newer then those from the roms

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
me to.

I will here waiting for it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Ok sorry for the delay. Kernel released for the latest MIUI and Oxygen rom releases. Void version is not updated. Explanation in the changelog.

For the ZRAM module just flash it if you want, it's not mandatory. It's only needed to flash it once per rom instalation but it only works with the latest kernel. Enjoy and provide feedback please.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so this are for the real last Rom, the oxygen Rom of today. and
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xann89:
Don't have to be sorry, mate! You did an impressive job here for us U8800 owners. I thank you for that! :D

Edit: missed out the ZRAM link part..sorry.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
I tried the new release with miui,but its have a bit laggy touchscreen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
I am new to the u8800 and I have this question: This kernel-update provided in this thread has to be applied after installing MIUI/Oxygen/Void, right? It just changes the kernel to archive better performace & better battery life?

Does this also work with the newest Oxygen based on Android 2.3.5?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
You know I didn't change anything that could do that?

Yes obviously apply after installing the rom. Yes it does, it's the for the latest Oxygen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Alright, thank you franciscofranco. I will try it out in a few days and if it really makes a difference i would donate something (I do not have much but well). I already suggested it to dzo at the oxygen-thread: Please provide another way to donate; for obvious reasons I deleted my paypal-acc some time ago and everybody I know did the same.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Off-topic:

Out of curiosity why have you deleted the paypal account? Isn't paypal a good service?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Well they act arbitrary and treat their customers like crap. There is enough to read about them in the news and I think you know that paypal is not the personification of innocence.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Yes I agree with you. They ****ed me some times already if I knew an alternative I would use it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bezelbu:
Just did a quick quadrant to stress test cpu. 3296@ 1.8ghz :) omg, thats more then my sgs2 stock muhaha. Thanx Franco ur THE man!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
Please don't be misunderstand. I din't know what was caused it. I tried to replace my boot.img to new one, when the phone opens touchscreen is bit laggy, and in the fruit ninja game, i can't play the game, screen not very responsive for my finger moves. Now i go back to stock miui and everythings seems fine. I will try again tomorrow.

One other question; What is the ZRam and what it does?

Thank you for great kernel!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
I only know moneybookers which should be an alternative, but I did not have the time to try it out yet.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Just a little screenshot of Quadrant running with 1.498/768 mhz SavagedZen with the latest Oxygen rom from dzo:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bezelbu:
(Comecam a ser ridiculos estes valores:) para um tlmv ''chines'' de 150e). Seems the performance advantage is with dzo rom...aldo i use miui and tbh for day to day its as smooth as anything i have used.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bezelbu:
Can't even get close to those values with your freq/governor i get 2500 on dzo rom (with your last kernel) what can be wrong franco?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Dunno really, I have the settings that I said in the screenshot post. The only different thing might be one script that I use for remounting with some flags, but that doesn't increase values in any benchmark... ah and I uninstall a lot of apps everytime I install the rom. Other than that I have the same kernel that I made avaliable and the same rom as everybody else.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
about the zip dile, the extra one that OS an option, this is for what and is only need to install on recovery and OS not needed to do nothing more?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
What did I said in the first post?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bezelbu:
I run de bench with clean install... no apps inst...strange
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok but is for what?

Could someone please explain the community made governors in this kernel in few short lines? Thanks in advance :-)

did you flash zram? try it.

My phone is faster than ever.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maxusz:
i'm on the latest miui and i'm enjoying it a lot! Only thing I miss is haptic feedback!

It's speedy.

Going by the changelog it get's even spedier with this kernel? And it gives me haptic feedback (since my touchpanel is not supported in the miui rom)?

Does it breaks anything from the latest miui update?

Anybody that installed latest miui and this willing to try it out?

thanks!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahbody:
:mad:Amazon App Store:mad:

I have been using the Amazon App store on my Gtablet since it first opened. Apps worked great. Recently all of my apps disappeared from the App store. I can no longer get updates. I contacted Amazon and was told on 3 seperate occasions that Amazon had a new filter in place to filter out Apps that the developer said did not work on your device. Well that is a lie. They filtered out all but about 8 apps that I bought. 40+ apps that worked perfectly like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. What I suspect is that Amazon Filtered every device the developer did not know about. What developer can certify every single android device. The answer is none.

Has everyone else found this to be an issue? Has anyone determined a way to fool amazon into thinking you have a different tablet that amazon things runs most apps? I am not running a custom rom and see no need to but if it it fixes Amazon App store I am open to the issue. I was kind of waiting for a stable Honeycomb (preferably from Viewsonic).

Amazon did give me a credit for the Apps I have purchaced and all the apps I have purchaced are still on my device and work so my only real complaint with Amazon is "How can anyone ever trust them again".
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerxt:
I ran into the same problem on my stock Gtab (build 3588). So far, I've been successful at sideloading several missing "purchased" Amazon apps to the Gtab via my G2 using Titanium Backup. Obviously this is not a preferred long-term solution.

My next step is to try a new build.prop file as noted in thread 861044.

For reference, here's my current Amazon appstore count of "My Apps/All" on three different devices:

T-mo G2: 62

G Tablet: 8

T-mo TP2: 61

The Touch Pro 2 is running Project Android with an uncharged Italian prepaid SIM card, and for some reason, the only app missing is Age of Zombies (which for the most part, works fine on Gtab via sideload).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahbody:
Amazon only half prevented

I have since found that while you cannot go to my apps and update them you can find the app in the store and it will indicate it needs to be updated. When you select update nothing happens. when you close down and start the store back up it installs the app.

I have also found that you can still buy apps even though you can never update them.

I also have about 60+ apps purchaced and only 8 that show up on my gtablet. The issue I have is I do not have another Android device.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
This happened to me as well. I contacted amazon, but they were of no help. So I took what I know, and others experience with different apps and found the solution.

Go to settings, applications. Find Amazon app market, and wipe data and cache. Open the market back up, log in (you'll need to re-enter username and password) and tada your apps have returned.

edit:

another solutions would be to uninstall, and re-install the app market.

Yesterday morning, after downloading the free app of the day, I checked "my apps" and it said that I had only 11 new apps. When I selected "all" I saw 14 apps. After wiping data and cache, I now have 74 "new apps" and 115 "all" apps.

I described the problem to Amazon 2 times, and I still don't think they understood what I was saying. I tried telling them that I had an app (Grisly Manor) installed on my tablet, that I had downloaded for free from them. In the Amazon app, it no longer appeared in any of my lists. On the web version, it shows up as being "purchased" I have a receipt and all...but it no longer shows on my Amazon App interface.

each time they instructed me on how to open an app, or how to open the "all" page in "my apps."

They are morons, I'm just glad I figured it out on my own.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahbody:
Worked great

I talked to Amazon a number of times and even more than that. Amazon told me that they had corrected their compatibility filter to only allow apps that were compatible with my device. They said incompatible devices were given to them from the developers. I told them that was a load of .... and there was no way developers verified every single device to say if it worked or not. I suspected that if what they said was true they were only allowing devices that the developer said worked and ours is probably long forgotten.

Some kind of corruption issue is a much better answer.

Thanks a lot.
