[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
it will be because prebuilt kernel of #21 is now not kernel versionmagic compatible with pershoot's versionmagic so the wifi module of cm7 is no longer loading with pershoot kernel, at least that's what could cause this. So mounting and overwriting the module in system/lib/modules helps, and the method above works. Anyway, I'm using pershoot happily too with #21, hoping that nothing is broken with those #21 kernel commits of stock cm7 kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Ok. Either something is wrong with my phone or I am having a brainfart. I tried to download from rom manager and then flash through recovery. When I try to let rom manager automatically do it through the prompts it gets to the point where recovery starts to boot up and then reboots back to the phone before anything is started. I had this problem trying to let rom manager auto flash my nightlies too so I just normally hit cancel and put the files on my sd manually and flash from there. For some reason when I check my downloads folder in astro the kernel zip file isn't there. I also checked the clockworkmod folder and couldn't find it. Is there a specific folder that this thing goes to or am I not getting a good download? I don't have a computer right now so I am strictly limited to using the phone for everything.

I am running build 20 cm7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
If I download kernel via ROM Manager,the kernel is at sdcard at

clockworkmod/download/droidbasement/g2/kernels

But flashing via ROM Manager seems sometimes problems!

Do it manually via Recovery!

Nice,now enjoy ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Found it, flashed it. Worked like a charm. I looked in that folder previously but I didn't go deep enough into it. Is this kernel showing better battery life than the one that comes with the cm7 nightlies?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Don`t know at the moment,don`t tested enough to talk about this ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Ok. Guess I will do my own testing. I don't like to run my phone conservatively though so I might not have the same statistics as someone who maybe runs their screen brightness at 50% or lower, or doesn't use overclocking to the max, etc....

This kernel is awesome, great job. Tons of frequency options. Although it didn't look like there was any underclock. I will have to look again and try to set it below 806mhz.

Just flashed the kernel..everything is fine but 1 thing...i no longer have wifi :/ is ther any way to fix it? i searched thread but no solution..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
MAke sure you wipe cache and dalvik. Then mount system, then flash kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
can i ask why is that?in the kernel site's instruction it said only about the flashing and the adb thingy..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
theres no need for that. dalvik cache is related to the VirtualMachine that runs the android apps, and cache is for applications. General rule: no need to wipe for a kernel. only mount system for modules.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
It's just a different method. Some things you can just flash (or use adb or a terminal emulator on your phone). Other things are strictly adb - no flashable package, however normally you can create one if you really want to.

As far as your wifi do this (read it has to be done for some people with this kernel - I'm one of them):

1: Unzip the file I attached (it's found in the kernel zip also)

2: Put it on your sdcard

3: Open root explorer, click on the top where it says 'mount R/W' or something like that

4: Go to /system/lib/modules and delete the file 'bcm4329.ko'

5: Find the file you put on your sdcard and move it to /system/lib/modules

Reboot and you're done. Your wifi will now work. Sometimes that file doesn't get replaced/copied correctly so you have to do it manually like this.

I'm not the one who figured this out so don't give me credit for it - just be happy:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
I will add mount /system in cwm prior to flashing to instructions on droidbasement, so the wifi error scenario will be few and far between.

Thx all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Nice to hear.

Thanks too ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
i found out the problem...i was flashing the gb kernel instead of froyo one..in your site the title of the 2 kernels you have the name of device its for , but you do not say which is for GB and which is not..so i assumed any would work..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Actually, the kernel for GB has "_gb" in the file name...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
Yea..the filename...thats how i noticed AFTER i downloaded ;p but just entering the site (e.g for the first time like me) its impossible to know if you are downloading the correct kernel..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
In every post of new kernel vesions its described what to not use it with, if you know what cm6, sense and cm7 means you will know it. Using cm7 supposes that u know what u r doing. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
The download link actually states the filename (and in the text description he actually lists a warning about not using the Froyo kernel with GB or Sense and vice versa)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
EDIT FIXED

EDIT: after installing this when i try to install something from the market it starts to download and then it just disappears..

anyone know why this would happen? Cannot install anything from market now...

Fix permissions - didnt work

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
I am thinking about installing pershoot this via ROM Manager and it has the XTRA. I am currently running Gingervillain 1.5. I am wondering is it compatiable with it? And how does it compare to the stock kernel that comes with Gingervillain 1.5? I at least know that I would have to install the Gingerbread version. Thanks for any help in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] STG777:
Thanks this kernel is awesome!

My phone responds much faster, i can chose allot of frequencies, stability has improved alot and overclock stability is great.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CRizzle808:
Probably a dumb question, but I just want to make sure; is the latest kernal release compatible with all CM7 Nightly builds? I currently have build 25 and was wondering if this will run normally on that build. I loved this kernal when I was back on build 23 and am hoping I can easily flash it again. Thanks in advance for any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
There are two versions; one for Froyo, one for Gingerbread; the Gingerbread one is the one designed for CM7 and should work with all nightly builds

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Hey pershoot just curious if you could make a version with low brightness on the Home/Menu/Back/Search buttons. With the kernel as it is now, they are very bright.

If the votes tip in favor of removing it, ill remove it.

I'll vote to remove the "extra" brightness on the capacitive/soft keys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
I honestly don't notice it lol. But I was wondering if maybe you can make a settings for it so people can adjust it themself or at least lead us in the direction of an app that does this.

Just out of curiosity, has there been any progress in getting a more advanced kernel, such as .35, .37, or even .38 on our G2's? Or are we bogged down by driver issues and such? I did take a look at your Github for those kernels but didn't see anything device specific except for N1 and D/S. Plus I suck at navigating Github so I may have just missed it.

boot loop on stock ROM

Does the latest work with the stock G2 image? My attempt failed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gunlance:
No it's been said many times in this same thread that this kernal is NOT meant for the stock image. You can get it to run by fastboot and then flashing the kernal but it is NOT meant for the stock rom. Upgrade to CM7 and you'll never go back :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] techemically:
Thanks for the reply, I would like to go to CM7 but dont want to worry about camera issues, wifi, market, etc. I have pretty much everything the way i need it now on the rooted stock ROM. I am running CM 5.0.8 on my G1 but it too has odd issues. Whenever I open the screen to get to the keyboard the thing reboots almost everytime. I just want the G2 OC'd thats it. No extras, no nonsense. I use this thing for business mostly. It there anywhere I can go to get simple overclocking so I can run linux any faster on this phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gunlance:
Ah I see now. I wanted the same thing before CM7. Like I said it is possible to flash this kernel to the stock rom. The only feature that I knew didn't work was wifi tethering. Everything else seemed to work fine. I *think* you can flash bacon bits to get some OC capabilities.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] muness:

Positive influence on battery life imo.

Thank you for the amazing kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mabalito:
Pershoot, I would like to know what part of the software stack is responsible for turning the N wireless support on and off? Tried looking through the /sys and /proc interfaces for a while to see if it could be controlled there but didn't find anything. I know in the stock sense ROM for the Desire Z this can be turned on/off through the wifi settings menu.

What I want is the ability to turn it off if it's on, since I don't need it and it would be a battery drainer. If it's not on by default, well then, great :)

Running CM 6.1.1 with your latest kernel.

Edit: and oh, forgot to say, thank you for the kernel, it's great. Only thing I miss from my HTC Hero days is the smartass governor as used in for example erasmux Flykernel. Erasmux has done a very good job at tweaking the kernel, maybe you could have a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730471 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786919 to see if there's anything there you could possibly integrate into your awesome kernel. :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
hey pershoot, would you mind adding a frequency between 368 Mhz and 768 Mhz? Something around like 480 Mhz or 528 Mhz would be perfect. I would use this more than anything for my screen off profile on CM7, and it could potentially also mean better battery life if the voltage is lower than 768 Mhz.

Other than that, thank you so much for the great kernel! :)

EDIT: I navigated around your github page and found that you are using 1000 mV for 245 Mhz and 368 Mhz, and 1025 mV for 768 Mhz. If 528 Mhz is stable at 1000 mV that would be perfect :)

Been getting random panics...

Here is the last_kmsg
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
i see no panics in here, nor do i see output from my kernel.

make sure you don't have any bad apps lingering and upgrade to the latest nightly. if your already on the latest nightly, flash back to the previous. there could be a bug in that specific one.

also, flash to the latest kernel offering at droidbasement once done.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Running nightly #5 with your latest kernel (there arent any significant changes in the last 2 nightlies for vision).

I just copied the last_kmsg, how else do I get the output from your kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
if the kernel panics and restarts, it will attempt to write a log prior. if not, it won't write it. in this instance, the kernel may not be panicking, or if you are hardlocking (which doesn't sound like it from what you have described) it may not get a chance to do so.

i too am on #5. no issues.

what frequency are you on when it does this? when did this start ocurring?

i would monitor these things; when it does happen, we can attempt to trace it.

i would reflash clean though so you have a base point to work with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
It's a soft reboot so I thought it was a kernel panic. This started happening maybe 3-4 days ago. I just get a soft reboot once or twice a day.

I manually change SetCPU between 979 to 1171 depending on usage, spend most time on 998.

I guess I will check the logcat next time this happens... Will keep you posted, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Why wouldn't it? Both frequencies are available on the G1 and it uses pll2. If anything, how about 537.6 Mhz (19.2*28)? That would be a nice intermediary. And I've seen a few kernels in the MT4G implement 537.6 Mhz
