Different filetype

Build 1&2 are .file files not .zip like it says in the description
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nik007rock:
just rename the file to .zip and flash :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
People:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:,build #3 has that bug.....flash build #2
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aj_killer:
No need to bang your head so many times. :laugh:

Do I need swap with build 2 ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
No need..it supports it if you want..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Crybertrance:
Hi all, im kinda new here, just wanted to know which build is the best to use as of now? Im running the Evervolv ICS (4.0.4) custom ROM for the Pico. Thanks! :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Nothing in this tread you can use
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Crybertrance:
Is it because this kernel is for CM9/Gingerbread only?:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bulletproof136:
how to use this "Cranium Kernel " there is no extension when download is complete i rename it to "Cranium Kernel.zip" do i now flash it through recovery and am currently using cm9 build#7 please tell thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] knorde:
Can i install this kernel on my rooted htc explorer with stock rom so i can use s2e so the apps can replaced to ext partition?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
Apologies if I come across as a complete noob here, but this is my first time using a custom kernel. I am a little confused about "governors"; as I understand it, these will under/over clock the CPU at certain times. How do you select which one is being used, and which is the best one to use? (I care more about battery life than performance, but performance is important too; I don't want the CPU being underclocked when I need it and making the phone really slow).

BTW, I am using rel #2.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Crybertrance:
The earlier posts on this thread suggest that stock ROM users cannot run this kernel properly. I wouldn't recommend using this for stock ROMs.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] tejask:
So what's the final conclusion? Should I flash my jaggyrom with cranium kernel build 3 or build 2? And is it okay if I keep the same default kernel by yannou09 I got from Jaggyrom 3.2.1? :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hell_lock:
I need some info on this kernel.:--

Were you successful in OC it?

What is the base frequency? For eg: In my phone its 13 mhz so all the freqs I can obtain will be multiples of it.

Is the ics/jb kernel source complete? I mean are there any left over parts or bugs?

Thanks for answering!

PS-- Running 340 mhz and 600 mhz on same voltage MAY lead to lags(actually it varies phone to phone). Thats my observation in my kernels.. Jus a tip :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
You can select governors using apps like rom toolbox or set CPU .....check each governor for 2 days and check it out.. .I like lion heart but there are lags. ..if you ask me, you better use ateeq kernels. ..the lags here are unbearable at times for me.. .but if you don't experience lags use this kernel. .this is the best for battery optimizations
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] fedex03:
Hello, I use your kernel version 2.

I should use OpenVPN but when I start OpenVPN Setting tells me that missing Tun.ko (Tun module to manage the VPN).

I installed the program Tun.ko Installer to install the module Tun.ko but can not find the module for your kernel.

May you insert the module into the kernel Tun?

thanks

cranium kernal for htc explore

for build3# cranium kernal its not showing in the recovry menu what do i do? plz tell meee?:(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Try Downloading again.

Download the zip file again, and keep it in the root directory of the SD Card. Don't keep it somewhere, forget it, and keep searching for it.

P.S: If you have downloaded it from your phone, it will be in the "Download" directory.

Another P.S: Make sure the download is complete. else, you will get Bad file errors.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] vishal14321:
if i download kernal build3# it is been downloading in "file" type but not in "zip" so because of it its not showing in "intall zip from sd menu" so what do i do to download it in zip

Internet pass through

Is internet pass through also known as reverse tethering in which computer's connection is used in smartphone. working when cranium

kernel is used with stock rom.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
To be clear, kernel only changed.. most features you have on stock will be left unchanged.. so yes flash build, #2

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jazzy7373:
I don´t understand this thing...If I flash this kernel have to reinstall my jaggyrom again??

and if I have problems with it how can I reverse it?

thanks :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sunny04:
Dude it was a disclaimer.he's saying that he's not responsible if you mess up your device by flashing the kernel
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sunny04:
It's a kernel.it has nothing to do with your rom, just flash it and if you face any problems u can revert to stock
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jazzy7373:
aaha!how can I revert to stock kernel?have to download it or something like that?

thanks :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] roro59286:
I will like to know why it works flawlessly with the "jaggyrom".

But with my custom rom its not boot more.

An idea?!

PS : My custom rom is : RUU_Pico_HTC_FRA_1.28.406.1

Thank you in advance.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
If its a ruu it is not your custom rom it is a stock rom... :P

Nice one but you should posted like this you should have uploaded stock image files the after your image files please upload the stock one it will be very helpful :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Валерий Черный:
If this kernel REALLY overclocked to 1.3Ghz??? And can it flashes with stock ROM??(Some peoples on 4pda.ru said they have bootloop after flashing):confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aishsingh:
sorry for the noob questions :) , so if i just flash the kernel in recovery will it effect my rom (jaggys rom)? and will it delete any data? and also is the latest build overclocked to 1307mhz? :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sunny04:
Its a kernel.So doesn't effect your data or rom in any way.The latest build is made to have smooth performance with less battery drain and its works better than the oc1307 kernel.:)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aishsingh:
Thanks for the quick reply :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
Yet another ram hack

Typed in a hurry from my Htc Explorer
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] PeaceMaker_htc:
Flashed Build 1#, testing.. :cool:

edit: Till now, Just a little less smoother than 1307 kernel but battery life is way longer..

On Antutu benchmark with 1307 -> 2093 points

with Build1# -> 1985 points.

2D and 3D graphics are basically the same, only Ram is slower...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aishsingh:
yea i just tested build 1 and got around the same result
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
Result...

The kernel is good enough, didnt notice any battery drain but battery could be better, a little performance boost, and stable. waiting for the next build. but i want to ask one thing if you replace the ex2 ,ext3 to EXT4 will it delete my ext partition that i made?

ps - Thank you for your time working for the device thanks so much.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thuanma:
antutu

OMG. I got 2200+ score in antutu benchmark (stock rom vietnam, and using kernel from yannou90, setcpu 480~600). :s

so....maybe....the 1307 version doesnot make the real overclock? :ss
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] PeaceMaker_htc:
I guess it depends on the SD card reading/writing, mine is slow!

Could you post a screen of your scores?

Edit: Cranium build 1# + Class 6 sd card = 2058.. not bad... i guess.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] PreemPalver:
If it's true, why don't you help jaggy to compile a kernel with a real 800Mhz overclock? Why don't you guys work together?

If I have to choose which kernel I should keep according to antutu results, I go for jaggy's one: 2373.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
M not able to compile a nice oc kernel.....pm'ed a couple of experienced devs,yet to get a reply

Jaggy rom is using

Yannou kernel,and he has vanished

Typed in a hurry from my Htc Explorer
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
Dont know,...

i dont know after using your kernel for one day it was doing great , but now it is very laggy i dont know what is reason. waiting for next build to fix this issue
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] klaver30:
Mine is getting laggy too after 2 days, just turned back to the 1307 kernel. Have no battery drain problem at all.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thuanma:
Here is my antutu score:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aishsingh:
is it possible to keep the overclock and also decrease the battery drain

i prefer the overclocked kernel :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pedrofidalgo:
yeah, after some days, the phone is lagging a bit :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
Touche

On another note,I.will release.build 2. Soon

Mayb with aroma installer

Typed in a hurry from my Htc Explorer
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
Cranium Kernel build#2 released ! Hope it doesnt lag after a couple of days :D

Enjoy :D

Ps- I am a recognised developer now :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] roro59286:
Thank you.

Really appreciated this kernel :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
your new kernel running smooth... :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] acedexplorerABL:
Enjoying! :D:D works good, but what is the best governor for this kernel as smartass is disabled?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
Thanks Dude...

Thanks Dude, you are doing a great job keep it up. No battery Drain Long lasting Battery life :D, No lags(yet) .

Can you make a flashable zip of the stock kernel ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
I will make it for you tommorow... :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] karthickkatta:
What i needed

I just set my governor to lionheart and io scheduler to noop using no frills cpu ... And the battery was more than one day with brightness reduced my performance was not reduced:)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pedrofidalgo:
the kernel is awesome ! very smooth !! I dont use set cpu. It is recommended to use ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] diabolique90:
Hy all , i am new to this kind of operating sistem but i succeded in rooting my explorer a few days ago.... everything went ok , but today i flashed this kernel and i have the same problem as above, my phone won't boot , only shows htc screen.... can a stock kernel be flashed to fix this without loosing the existing data on the phone? Thanke you
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chlsmiad:
wt rom can i use? bcoz i cannot boot up my phone
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
for the time being you can use Indian latest stock rom by me..

It is a Pre-Rooted Rom- http://www.mediafire.com/?aobcybycce27d1o

It does not support SD-EXT partition for now..but you can flash cranium kernel to make it support.. :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chlsmiad:
does the rom surport english?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
this rom only supports english...:)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chlsmiad:
thx...u very much
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] imminent_:
Flashed build#2 and using it successfully, also battery was running great with build#1 now lets see with build#2.

I appreciate your work but can't we develop an AOSP kernel? I have had experience with compiling my own kernel with modules built in for speed and useless crap removal etc. But that was with the Linux Kernel. I have some queries, I am new to android development but have been playing with Linux since 2003 so if you could clarify, it would be great help to me thank you.

1. Is the kernel source you are using can be configured similarly to Linux Kernel? i.e. make menuconfig or make xconfig etc?

2. Can the config file found in the device be trimmed to remove htc sense integration? and to compile AOSP kernel?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
Hullo imminent_

1)I havent really ported a kernel to a target device before.Since u have been playin' with linux kernel since quite a while,care to lend a hand?Currently i am focusing on forwarding our source tree to kernel 2.6.39.x

2)yes,kernel config can be configured similarly to linux kernel by "make menuconfig" but the usual way is to pick config from the kernel the device is running with "adb pull /proc/config.gz"

3)Erm i doubt it is as simple as disabling a few parameters.But then again,i havent tried this yet,definitely worth a try.

Here is a repository for Linux Kernel 2.6.38(which we are running) ported to android without any sense,tw etc(AOSP) https://github.com/pershoot/kernel-2638 this needs to be ported to hardware(Msm7227A in our case)

Nice to see someone if interested !
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] PeaceMaker_htc:
Build #2 is very very good, highly optimized and very smooth..

But I am still charging my phone on a 48h cycle...

so, I think a overclocked kernel with the build #2 optimization would be very much perfect for most people that don't really need to care about not charging the phone.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] CatOnAndroid:
Installed your kernel, now lets see how it runs.

Since I figured Jaggy is not working on the Rom anymore... will you continue to work on your CM7 Mod for Pico?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] imminent_:
I believe Android Kernel is nothing but a modified Linux Kernel, it have some new libraries and architectural differences etc. Bad news is we can't directly port (still I think the repo you provided can surely be ported to explorer) and thats what aosp kernel sources for, good news is Android Kernel will be merged with Mainline Kernel 3.x but it will take 4-5 years.

Anyways, I have the kernel sources for HTC explorer from their dev site, but still have to sync some repos, but my broadband is down for some days.

Interested Yes I Am! Need some time but lets see what I can contribute. I'll be happy to help if I can :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jazzy7373:
testing..everything is allright for the moment..;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] fedex03:
Hi,

I would try your kernel but before I have a question..

I made a full backup of my settings and app through the recovery.

If I have some problems with the new kernel, can I restore the backup through the recovery?

With which frequencies is setted the kernel? Can I manage it with setCpu?

In which consist the lionheart governor?

Thanks for your work!

Antutu benchmark with jaggyrom 2138

With cranium 1819...

As matter of fact, the apps run with more lag and the restarting time is higher

I don't know where you see the smoothness, but keep working on that ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
See the antutu scores a couple of posts before yours

Typed in a hurry from my Htc Explorer
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Txask:
It seems like the fail is mine :o

But how can be that possible, I just followed the instructions you said... Hummn...

Maybe with the 3rd release it will go better... ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] imminent_:
I'm in !

Hmm, I really need education about building android. Seriously it's not an easy task. I have compiled and used gentoo, but without the handbook, it would take me ages actually. Please if you could give me some links or something, I would save some time as I've been researching from some days but still a lot to understand and read.

And also please count me in and if possible please start a new thread about porting cm7 to htc Explorer. Those interested should sign up there. I am really excited to see aosp rom booting on the device. Still don't understand how it happened on the stock kernel. Htc Desire has a different chipset (but same gpu).
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
i dont understand how it happended,but do we really care :D

Also,sound didnt work on the port,hope it's not related to kernel(sound is a b**ch to fix u know)

Also,for porting android,i havent found a guide so far(only compiling guides ) but u shud see a few github repositories of other devices and try to see the build scripts,how to set up board config and stuff(we are all new to this )

I will create a new thread 2moro,feeling sleepy now :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] imminent_:
Alright, luckily I found a thread from cyanogen

Got food for thought today, and see you on the new thread tomorrow.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Dave_001:
You can't compare the antutu scores from two different phones, one could have a class 2 sdcard and the other a class 10.

Cranium Kernel is still behind Yannou90's kernel on my Explorer.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thuanma:
Stuck

I've tried to flash your kernel but it stuck at htc screen. (using stock vietnamese rom).

Can you fix that? Or i have to try your kernel with another rom?

Btw, tks so much for your great work. :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
@thuanma-i cant find the reason,only european rom can boot this kernel(source problem)

Ok,so buildable or even bootable cm7 device tree might be ready this week,i cant personally build this due to some hadware/misc. limitations,but u r free to use my source,edit/fix etc and build it!

So get yr build environments ready! @imminent_ and others interested

@sakindia123 hi i`m new here, i`ve had the Pico for about 3 months now. Anyway thank you for providing your kernel/toolschain sources, it was incredibly easy to build on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit (with afew Path= changes)......the kernel runs very smooth and had no lag or any other problems at all with it....:p

i look forward to hopefully building cm7 in the same way from your modified sources
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
Thanks for building,hope my build script was easy to edit(next time will use tags)

Any bugs/patches/improvements from yr side will be welcome!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
My apps were messed up.

Hi there The build_3 was fast and very responsive but my all apps are messed up, it is maybe because of the sd-ext that everybody is talking please fix it soon.

Reverting back to build_2:(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MrAwesomePT:
I've tried to install the version 3 of this kernel the way it was explained, and it did not work...

I tried to old version too, and once again, it just freezes in the HTC logo...

Do I need to have a custom Rom like jaggyrom?

Thank you ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
yea i guess

most people with stock cudnt boot it :(

Btw,i stripped kernel further,really light now ! (~1.6 MB)

Sakindia, when do you release the version 4?

I see you did many changes in cranium kernel. :D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sakindia123:
I dont think i should releasebuild#4 until i fix the sd card bug(abt which i have no clue!)

Or should I?it's not really a big problem,i move all apps to sd-ext/internal.

Btw,boot.img size now 1.43 mb :0
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thuanma:
I think you should release build 4 when the sd bug is solved.

Btw. Tk u so much for your great work. :)
