I installed this kernel a few days ago. I'm running CM7 stable and haven't really noticed a difference, really. The 1st day phone seemed a bit snappier, but I have been noticing a lil more FCs then usual. Can't be sure if its because of this kernel or something else. I have noticed something positive though, it seems to have taken care of the Wi-Fi connection problems. Wi-Fi isn't dropping out like it was since flashing CM7.

I flashed the kernel that ended in .38, not the newest one

Sent from my HTC Vision/G2, Rooted, running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Nice... How did you get it that high. The highest i reached was 2500
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
I'm running UD 3.3.0 with this kernel, I constantly get 28xx and up when I benchmark it.

I just ran another one and got 3128 lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Yea i once reached 3773 with UD 3.2.5 with the .37 kernel.

Amazing ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I get 2900+ with pershoots latest and disabling ext4 journal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
lol maybe its because of Miui...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
The same on MIUI-Bread v4.0!

It`s between 2750 and 2930 @ 1.28..Ghz!

Edit:

Running again and I got 2995 ;)

You are the man pershoot.

Every since I left the stock rom way back when perm root became available, I have had to reset my wifi after the phone slept for 10 minutes or so. I have spent countless amount of hours trying to figure out how to fix it. This was the only issue I had with my phone that I was unable to sort out. I can now say that I have not had to reset my wifi since installing this kernel. My wifi is rock solid and I no longer have to think about it. This may seem petty but after all these months, this fix is a godsend.

Thank you for all you do for the community. Your work is greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erickr56:
Your kernel is awesome pershoot. I have never compiled a kernel before, but would it be difficult to compile for another phone like a Optimus V? I'll use the search button when I get on wi-fi, I was just wondering.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
how do u disable journaling on the g2? i recall seeing a tutorial for a different phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Check the links in my sig, there's a flashable zip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magote:
Flashed over CM7.0.2, couldn't find some networks that I can connect to without any problems with CM's stock kernel..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I can almost guarantee that has nothing to do with the kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
i have a problem on cm7 where the radio will turn off sometimes if, while on call, i recieve a second call that goes to voice mail. I've heard of other people having this issue a while ago - is it kernel related?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
No. it isn't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
so what is the cause and how can i fix it? I wanted to make sure i didnt have to flash back to the stock kernel.

On a different note, I am using pershoot's kernel with some tasker profiles to do some testing on battery life. i've previously determined that setcpu wastes more battery than it saves versus letting the governor work on its own. Since i always run tasker in the bg for a number of other purposes, i want to see if using tasker with some screen on/screen off (and no inbound/outbound phone activity) will save batt versus the ondemand governor. I'll report back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Ondemand governor vs what? I'm not following you, do you actually know what the different governors do?

I only ask because I constantly see people setting all kind of weird profiles with tasker/setcpu that are completely unnecessary.

like when people set a screen off profile while using ondemand.. It scales to the minimum when you turn the screen off (idle) anyway and only ramps up on input or incoming data/voice. in almost all those cases (except a scheduled sync, but if you honestly think the cpu ramp up uses more battery than a 3g data sync.. Well...:p) your screen will turn back on anyway...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
OnDemand alone versus OnDemand with conditional/artificial limits to maximum clock speed.

The idea with the profiles is to set the max clock to 1.5ghz while battery is sufficient, then bring the max down to 806mghz when battery is lower. on screen off, bring max to 806mghz. The reason for this screen off is as follows:

I'm not clear on how exactly the governor determines how much to scale when the system requires more processing power - but assuming at screen off the clock speed is at the the minimum and then syncing begins. It may be that the governor ramps speed up to say 1.3ghz for the duration of the sync. I'd rather the phone went up to 806 only. sure maybe other processes on the phone lag a bit - but i don't care, the screen is off and i dont need those other processes to be "smooth".

Now i know that with setcpu, this did not work out well and netted to a wash or worse. It cost more battery monitoring than whatever was saved by clocking down the max. I suspect that tasker, since its always running for me, may end up using less incremental battery and therefore save power. Regardless, I want conditional overclocking based on battery % - something a cpu governor does not take into account.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magote:
But maybe with the module. Tested 2 or 3 times. Pershoot kernel - Network doesn't show up. CM kernel - network shows up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I think you're over-complicating. But it's only an opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Wifi? 3G? What networks are you speaking of?

And which module do you believe is responsible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kaotix01:
Hey guys i have been following the thread for some time and ive re-flashed the newest kernel. Im looking for some instructions on how to add the kernel modules can anyone point me in the right direction
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magote:
Sorry, Wifi networks.

I'm talking about the bcm4329.ko module, packet with the kernel
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
Which type of network?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magote:
The situation I'm talking about has happened with a "normal" network, encrypted with a WPA/WPA2 PSK key.

It's doesn't even shows up on the available networks with your kernel

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
If it was able to write it prior to freeze.

Im thinkin ill increase back to 1.51 and up to 1300 for that and 1.49.

That shouldn't csuse too much more heat and should be stable for that odd ended device.

pershoot:

When building from your git, I find a kernel I've built gets lower quadrant scores than your xtra kernel.

Is this due to the default config being used? Are all of the "xtra"'s in the default config? Or would I need to pull the config file from the xtra kernel and work from that?

Why don't you try joining a network ( as in, setting it up manually, with manual IP and everything )?

And then forget it, reboot and add again?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lou_Cipher:
Manually add kernel module

Just for giggles, try this: go to droid basement, download latest gb kernel AND the latest gb libs. Flash the kernel, reboot. Open terminal emulator, remount system as read/write ("mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system", or at least that's the partition on mine), then copy the bcm4329.ko file from the libs zip file to /system/lib/modules, then reboot again and test again.

Pershoot,

Your .39 kernel had fixed a wifi issue where I would lose wifi when the phone slept and I would have to toggle it off and on to get it back. Do you think there would be any reason this newest version would revert me back to that issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
the country code logic has been reverted.

nothing else has changed with the driver.

my wifi stays alive without issue when sleeping.

ensure you have wifi set to never sleep, and ensure you have activity on wifi, otherwise your router will close the channel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dyndragon:
What do you mean by this? I've noticed that i lose connectivity periodically to gtalk and things on certain wireless networks, but that doesn't have to do with your kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
if there is no activity on wifi, your router is inclined to close the channel.

the losing connectivity could be related to other factors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ihateusernames:
I don't believe this has ever been a problem with your kernel as it happened every since I left stock rom with any rom or kernel I tried. It wasn't until you dropped .39 that my wifi works as it should.

I struggled for many months trying to fix it. Not many people have had the issue but I did find it happening on the nexus forums and they chalked it up to a google driver or something. I am just happy you were able to fix it for me but it makes me hesitant to use any other kernels as it became so annoying that I just wanted to throw the damn thing at the wall half the time.

Your kernels are the stuff and I appreciate the products and support you provide the community.
