Sorry for long absence. I have been really busy with work lately. I can acknowledge the issues with the generic kernel and it not settling down and will be working on some potential fixes. I have built my own AOSP ROM for testing (tf201 device tree with our Galaxian Soup AOSP base). Not sure if I will release the ROM, but it will be a good 99% vanilla AOSP ROM to test the generic kernel upon.

I try flash two version 2.6.11 and 2.5.8 on CM9 and EOS and always have the same issue - my wi-fi dosent work....all time it says turning on wi-fi....

Anybody knows this issue, what is all about???

Glad to see you're back and working on a fix for the generic kernel. If you need any1 to test crap let me know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theeggman:
I have installed the generic kernel on my stock rom (I forget who's I based it on, might taken from ASUS stock image -- don't recall).. now I get occasional random reboots.. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
has anyone on latest version tried downloading big torrent files and use the device at the same time; mine got unbelievable lag...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I've noticed that downloading a movie torrent (700+mb) on any rom with any kernel leads to huge lag. I'm just guessing here but it may be due to the horrible r/w speeds to internal memory that our primes are rumored to have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CekMTL:
Yes you are totally right.... flash speed is soooooo absolutely horrible that it just stalls the whole system down, HANGS it....(must be also a driver issue)... me I am a heavy torrent downloader, and I usually have 4 720p torrents downloading at the same time, with speeds in excess of 4.2 Mb/s ... but to make this happen, I use my own insane scripts, that are ...well insane... they work very well but when something bad happens... it is BAD, data corruption, etc...

The lag only happens when the WHOLE torrent file has to be created at start, not when it has already been created and the system is stable.

Basically how the system is set, will use about 500mb of ram for file cache, once that level is reached, it will start to write data down to SD space, and that is about 10-14 Mb/s... do the math... horrible!

Doh, donno why I've written so much... sorry for the headache! :p

its a pity that my sgs2 doesnt lag and my quad core tablet gets beaten by a torrent :P anyway even while downloading something else like from market, system lags a lot...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
is this torrent specific? I've downloaded files that big, like Mp4, avi, & PlayStation rom files, through opera mobile browser and get no lag at all. I'm on stock rom rooted and overclocked. I know the marketplace slowdown occurs sometime. I still chalk that up to software issues. especially since it was proven prime has alot faster disk read write & I/O speeds than the new Acer510. yet the Acer finishes its downloads from marketplace faster than the prime. not sure if it experiences the same lag trying to do something else while market download going on. specs are virtually the same. both tegra3 & both have 1gb of ddr2 ram. only main difference is Acer firmware vs. Asus firmware. Although on paper the Acer has the disadvantage, its software makes it more efficient. So Asus could easily address this, although its never really been brought to their attention before. Still tons of room for improvement & efficiency & optimization in Asus firmware. Developers here might could tackle it also.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Yeah I tried 2.6.1.1 generic on cm9 May 7 nightly, wifi was a no go. Don't know why exactly. But on the otherhand, the kernel that came in the rom, the wifi works quite well. Downloading from icestream hasn't this fast with anything else so I will sacrifice the OC for wifi speed for now..... The May 7 build seems to be pretty solid with the exception of the black screen on rotate for a second, but I can live with that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I know we are off topic now but I would be interested in checking out that script. If you don't mind sharing pm. If your busy, thats kewl too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
Hey Motley, any word on a new/fixed generic? I know your busy man, I was just curious :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] notoriouspk:
Motley wifi breaks with AOKP n cpu scales to 1.8 no matter what i tried
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
Can't say I've had the wifi issue( well haven't tried on B35, but M5 was fine ). Although the 1.8 scalling is a known issue. Waiting on this and SnB kernel to see if either of them get updated. Both seem to have been stale for awhile now( not a complaint, I know devs do this on their free time, just an observation ).

On a side note Gary sent me the newest beta version of the new official Asus kernel coming out, haven't gotten to try it yet as I'm guessing it wont work on AOKP, hopefully I'll have a chance to test and provide feedback for him this weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm testing it out now. But aren't you unlocked? judging from your past posts. Do you remember what happens when an unlocked person tries to flash or install a stock Asus firmware/Kernel? which is what Gary sent only a select handful of people, including meself. you didn't tell him you was unlocked, did you? lol. just warning you so you don't brick your tab since you unlocked & your warranty is voided..lol therefore you would be outback. plus it isn't meant to test out with a custom Rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RubenRybnik:
I did tell him I was unlocked with AOKP. He said he didn't know if it'd work and he'd ask, haven't heard back since yesterday. I know it wouldn't work with AOKP, however I was planning on flashing my original backup from the day I got my prime, so it should be stock, and then flashing the kernel. Why would being unlocked with stock ROM cause any issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
No problem, unlock has nothing to do with kernel. If you flash a stock based ROM it should work, the only problem is to be able to flash the kernel as flashing an officially Asus signed blob could soft brick your device.

A good way would be to extract the img file from the blob and use it with Anykernel script to insert it properly in the boot image.

Jermaine151 made a recovery zip I guess you can find it it his depot. See in GooManager app > browse all files > devs > Jermaine151 to find it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s1lenz:
Thanks for your hard work on this kernel. I can also confirm that wifi isnt working with the 0512 cm9 build.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yeah, that's what I meant. flashing the officially signed Asus blob. I was just trying to give him heads up. because even if Gary gave him the file, then he bricked it, he would be stuck because his warranty is void. It was just more of a be careful and proceed with caution warning. Don't want to see anyone brick their prime & not be able to recover out of it.

That goo manager is really good. from reading your post, I didn't know we could go in there and find all the files from current developers. I thought it only listed roms.

So you use TWRP recovery? it seems alot better and straight forward than CWM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Yes it's a good recovery, very user friendly. More, you can initiate the flash from within goo manager, several zips are allowed (you can order them), and even programming a backup before +/- cache/dalvick wipe. Your device reboots automatically in recovery, the script executes the backup and flash, and reboots the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
Experiencing SOD with tablet in dock. Out of the dock, it sleeps fine. Seems when it's only asleep long enough for deep sleep. ATM there is nothing else in the tab other than MicroSD. Tested without an SD card in the dock and no other USB devices hooked up. Still required hard reset to get system up.

Prime 32gb

16 gb MicroSD

Dock

Motley Generic

AOKP build 35

NSTools used to set deadline and interactive, max 1.8

Anyone else having this issue?

Is it okay to use this Kernel with the Gummy 1.2 ROM?

Everything on the Gummy ROM is running fine, but I would really like to have NTFS/exFAT support for my video files.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
When I tried installing it on GummyROM, my wifi broke. Tried it maybe 4 or 5 different times and each time was the same result. No matter what I did, all wifi would say is that it was turning on and it just wouldn't connect. Maybe someone else has found a way to get it to work.

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
It seems obvious that a kernel compiled with Asus sources won't work perfectly on a ROM compiled with cm9 sources and others. It's a miracle that the device boots.

In your case it could be a wireless.ko module problem, perhaps grab the module from your kernel's ROM and use it instead if the kernel's default.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
Actually, if you read the OP you'll see that there's a kernel for stock-based ROM, but there's also a generic anykernel made for AOSP, AOKP, and other custom ROMs. An anykernel should work for most (if not all) ROMs available, but in some cases it may not work 100% such as the case of GummyROM with motley kernel. I believe I've read motley kernel works fine on CM9 and I know it does for AOKP, but I found issues with GummyROM. Other than that, GummyROM is pretty good and if I'd decided to keep it, I'd probably eventually have tried to find a way to hack motley kernel into it on my own, but I've chosen to use another ROM until GummyROM gets a bit more mature on the Prime.

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
I read the OP and that just means that using the generic kernel is possibe with any ramdisk, as it uses anykernel updater to insert the boot image in zImage file, without the need to rebuild it from scratch.

It just means this.

Believe me or not, sources for stock Asus kernel and cm9 (and all ROMs based on it) are not the same and most of the time the kernels are not 100% compatibles. In particular, you find in /sys/modules all kernel modules including bcm4329 wifi one. Those modules (brought by kernel) need sometimes libs that are located in system libs (brought by ROM), and the slightest change in version number, compilation parameters can lead to errors.

On my phone you can't flash a stock based kernel on CM9 : bootloop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flip35:
Yea i see the code to type but where tdo i type them? Im not as geek as u so thats why i asked for steps meaning where do i type them n how do i get there, but honestly it already looks to complicated so i rather wait til i learn how to do that better n feel comfortable
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
_motley, I hope you don't mind but I made a CWM flashable version of your alpha 1.1 kernel for those intimidated by the terminal commands. Please feel free to add to the OP, if you want to.

Flashable zip is attached.

P.S. If you don't want to back up your old boot.img, you can easily revert to it by re-flashing whatever rom you were running. This will restore your boot.img.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flip35:
Wooooord, see thats my language right there lol, i can flash all day long, i was one of those intimidated by those commands, thanx a jermaine n op for this kernel

Jermaine so i just wipe cache n dalvik?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
Thanks for the Zip, im sure alot more users will use this kernel now that they dont have to go through the manual steps.

i like the other as u learn more, but simple is always better :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
You're welcome and wiping dalvik and cache should be plenty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Awesome, thanks jermaine! I will add to the OP.

Edit: done and instructions changed. I will use the blob tools for the next release, I promise! Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
Anytime Bro!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maulds1989:
I flashed and am no going back to stock kernel. Too unstable right now with Virtuous ROM installed. Will flash again after more progress. Keep it up!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
...........so who is going to be the first to try and improve the primes heatsink?... evil grin. Is it thermally attached to the backplate? If not I'm absolutely DIEING to throw some as5 in there. Oh arctic silver, we had some good times back in the day didn't we old girl? I really want to overclock this beast to 1.

8-2ghz. The backplate is just screaming to assist with cooling duties.

Edit: I know this is a kernel thread but I think its sort of related. Please tell me if I need to start my own thread. =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
A couple of people have reported instability when mixing this kernel (and stock ramdisk) with that custom ROM. Besides the OC to 1.7, everything else in this kernel is stock just as Asus released it.

Here are a couple things going on that may play a role:

Replacing his ramdisk back to the stock one is probably not a good idea since he has likely made tweaks there and you are losing these when you flash this kernel.

He has added the cifs module to his rom, but this kernel has it built in. Probably not a big deal, but the modules shouldn't be loaded anymore after the kernel is install because it isn't necessary.

OC scripts in the rom? I am not sure how they are setup.

Perhaps Diamondback can provide a zip including the zImage with his ramdisk (and removing the 2 kernel modules) as an add-on, providing it works to his liking. I can try this too if I get a chance to do some testing on his ROM. So far I am only testing on stock 9.4.2.15 ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dhorvatt:
Can I input the 1.7Ghz code in terminal emulator?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I like your thinking. lets push this puppy to the limit! until the backplate melts into liquid metal, if need be..lol. forget 2Ghz...lets go for 3Ghz n make a world record for tablet mobile SoC speed.

great work OP and Thanks Jermaine for flashable zip. with progress like this, I get closer n closer to wanting to unlock ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Since installing this kernel on top of Virtuous .15v2, although I can run antutu and it completes most of the time, I can't get it to score RAM and CPU integer...they just sit at 0. Any thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Will this kernel allow for voltage manipulation to improve battery life?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
I have not seen this behaviour before.

Not yet, still trying to decide if this will be a feature as there are a lot of conflicting opinions out there. Even with adjustments being allowed, the kernel has a lot of smarts built in that regulate voltages that that are actually used at runtime. So, some stuff has to be analyzed and figured out before I can implement similar code I have used before for under-volting.

The next version will have more features (i/o scheduler choices, tweaked Interactive governor, built in support for NTFS, autogroup scheduling). I am also considering raising the voltage for 1.7GHz, but not sure yet. Is there any other features anyone is looking for? I have the dock now and can verify that everything works great. Have not tried HDMI out yet, I need to get a cable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
possible request if this could be made into an apk for people with locked bootloader to try out n use. if not, we will just have to wait till we unlock. have you tested out the 1.8Ghz mode yet. I remember you mentioning it was there bit not enabled or something like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Can this be used with the illiicious (s/p) rom? I'm thinking about unlocking tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I know I've seen people flashing this kernel with virtuous rom but haven't seen any do it with icilicious yet. it is possible I missed them posting they did. it is possible though. as long as you do your precautionary backups n such, couldn't hurt to try out.

so unlocking has been tempting you also huh? I'm on the edge holding back. I really want to try out this kernel and the other roms. I'm just waiting to see what Asus or Gary supposed to announce soon that seems to be important. I don't want to void my warranty just yet ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Yah, I'm tired of waiting. So many disappointments, and asus certainly doesn't seem to be much help. I have insurance, if something goes wrong maybe I can use it. At this point really think Asus has resolved to not do to much. They have sold to many, it would cost to much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Unfortunately I don't think so, the kernel is hard-coded at 1.6GHz and uses the 3 modes. If it falls outside the 3 modes, then it falls back to 1.4 GHz.

As far as 1.8GHz, I will give this a try again soon. My first attempt failed as my voltage was obviously not high enough. The problem with 4 cores will be that that when they all crank up at the same time (like when using the performance gov), the power requirements cumulatively will put a very high load on the system. From the voltages I am using and expecting, we may be able to get away with 1.8 with the interactive governor, but I am not sure yet. My guess is that 1.8 would not be good for most people since it will start really putting a damper on battery life. My goal is real world performance and not necessarily higher benchmarks...although those are nice to measure by to see how we are doing. The maximum frequency we can achieve with multi-cores is going to be less than we could achieve if there was just one core running. Nvidia posts a max of 1.5GHz for a single core and 1.4 for multi-core, so that is also the kind of logic I am taking under consideration as well.

P.S. if anyone knows where you can get more detailed specs on tegra 3 that what you can find here, that would be awesome. I would really like to know what kind of current/voltage limits are being imposed by the internal regulator in the SOC. There appear to be some settings that can be turned off in the kernel that communicate with the chop, but it will not be safe to do so IMO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
But it doesn't mean it shouldn't be flashed on a ROM built for Prime from custom sources. Your first post made it appear that motley kernel should not be flashed on any AOSP, AOKP, or any other custom ROM because the kernel is based on stock sources and the ROM isn't. I know for a fact that on many devices, many of the kernels built for custom ROMs are actually based on the stock kernel to allow for more compatibility, including mods of CM7/9. I just personally don't agree that modified kernels such as motley kernel should be avoided just because it uses a different source than the ROM as long as it is built for the correct hardware. As long as everyone is aware (as all devs will warn) that flashing any mod is an "at your own risk" act, mods should not be belittled based on the possibility that they may not be 100% compatible.

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kman79:
I appreciate the reply. I'm in need of wifi more than I am in need for NTFS support. I'm quite happy with the Gummy ROM, and I guess for now, I'll just have to re-encode my video files to accommodate the 4GB file size limit. Will tweet Kejar/Adam to see if they are aware of the NTFS issue. Thanks again.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
Motley, any news on the generic on AOKP? Would be cool if we could get the clock speeds to stick when setting it under 1800. thanks dude :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
Have ya tried clearing the cache and everything for the Play Store. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling updates for the Play Store, then opening it. It'll likely reinstall the update when you connect, but perhaps it'll get it to work again. I was having issues with the newest version of the Play Store with it giving me a purchase processing error, so I installed a modded Play Store apk to get around my issues.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
Just flash the boot.img from your ROM
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emwu13:
Oh ok....if i only knew how to flash only some part of rom.

I was remaking the recovery pakages for my old galaxy I5700 but it was childlish easy and long time ago on 2.1.

But here is little different and i dont wanna brick my Prime ;)

There is now stock kernel pakage? somewhere ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AzraelsKiss:
motley kernel doesn't break wifi on Virtuous Prime, so you shouldn't have to worry about that. I'm running Virtuous Prime with the motley kernel and everything seems to be running just fine... Especially wifi.

~Azrael's Kiss~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no, not unless you want a paper weight..lol

there was already someone in 300 section who tried to flash a prime rom and permanently bricked his tab. curiosity killed the cat. plus you have to be unlocked anyways to even attempt to use this kernel. 300 is not unlocked. so no rom or kernel flashing for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
This is why I'm a late prime owner, as opposed to sayyy waiting fot the infinity or jumping on the 300...development. (period) Infinity has caught my eye though....just know I wouldn't have been patient enough to make it all mine.

*looking forward to the next motley build...been running generic despite the cpu issues -- I live between work and home anywayzzz -- smooth for me...honestly don't know much about tweaking kernel settings; I leave it to the pro's...from the user's end, professional -- thanks motley!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acdcking12345:
I flashed this and it shows 1.8 ghz, but not all the time. It still downclocks sometimes. Is that how this kernel works?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Yes. You can use the governor of your choice by using something like no-frills cpu control or set cpu. Most custom ROMs have a governor built in that you can use too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
