[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
hey guys. im a noob to android. every other phone i have had has been winmo. i wanted to try this oc kernel because it seems easier to install than the gorilla one. however i ran into a problem when installing. i have a stock rom 2.2.1, perm rooted s=off, using clockwork recovery. i backed up my rom and flashed via rom manager. it then began to send me into a boot loop never getting past the first screen. just kept turning off and rebooting. soooooo i rebooted directly into clockwork and tried to do it from there and the same thing happened. so i restored my recovery and now everything is back to normal. can anyone point me in the right direction? i did notice that in clockwork it gave me two options to flash the kernel or to flash an update from the sd card. should i have flashed the update zip instead of the kernel or flash both.. sorry im a partial noob. i know how to use adb a lil and the emulator, this is the first thing i flashed on my phone and nearly had a heart attack from thinking i was bricked! any help is appreciated
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Do you already have setCPU installed? Not everyone's phone will be able to reach the maximum speed without bootlooping or locking up. Just the nature of the beast. Try setting your speed down in setCPU (if you already have it installed) and turn set at boot off and then flashing and rebooting. Then you can test the speeds one by one to know what is working for you.

Edit: New kernel for CM and MIUI is nearly ready. 1.8Ghz with over 3200 on quadrant!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jriv:
Oh I'm running miui now just haven't changed my sig lol

Sent from my icey cold glacier 4g freezing every phone in its path.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kfgtboypsp:
Can't wait for your kernel for CM! I wanna see my phone unleash its true power! Lol thanks dude.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
thanks.... stupid me... duuhhh.... i have setcpu installed already and it is set at "set on boot".... thanks for the help man... will give it a go and let you know how that works out!

Edit: turning off set on boot in setcpu didnt work. still boot looped. i will try uninstalling setcpu, then flashing, then reinstalling. i dont get it though because my highest on setcpu is the stock 1024.... hmm maybe its the profiles i have set up... either way, gonna give it another go in a few. im gonna get this working today if its the last thing i do. so thankful for backups to restore lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Christopher3712:
That's...retarded. I can't wait to see how that handles. lol! Are you incorporating U/V's on the lower frequencies as well?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] InvisibleHero:
UV / OC?

Is this a UV / OC kernel? Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Yes, and O/V's in the higher frequecies for stability. This one was picky. ;)

Only in the lower frequencies. The higher frequencies weren't stable running lower voltages.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] InvisibleHero:
Thanks OP. When you say the lower ranges, at which MHz did you not UV? Just curious. I am thinking of not OC'ing more than 1.4MHz and didnt know if I would get the UV benefit.

*EDIT* Meant GHz
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jacetheace517:
Thanks for the quick response. I may have spoken too soon. I THOUGHT it was working with CM. But I just flash the 6.2 RC0 without this kernel and am having the same issue. Oh well. I guess I will figure out another option.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
So the v.04 is somehow better? I was able to oc mine to 1.8 without issues. Now back to 1.497! I ran a linpack of 61 with v.04 at 1.8. Do I have to go back to v.04?

I'm running v.05.... CM 6.2.0
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
You can't get to 1.8 with the v05?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Yes but my device freezes up! In previous version didn't do it! Anyways better battery life with this one! No worries! Your doing an amazing job bro!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kfgtboypsp:
@grankin just wondering are u gonna make a oc kernel for evils desire hd/z Rom?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I'll check into it. If its the stock HTC source kernel then the htc kernel should work. I'm having some stability issues with these kernels though. The CM kernel is working great but the HTC kernel is making me loose hair. :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CBConsultation:
I feel your pain grankin01. I've tried both v01 and v02 on my stock kernel and both have caused stability issues. v01 would bootloop. v02 allowed me to boot. As soon as I got to my homescreen and tried to do anything it locked up.

I flashed my backup and will await an update to test again. I uninstalled setCPU each time as I wanted to do a clean install of each kernel then add setCPU and profiles. No luck with each.

But I do want to thank you for the continued hard work you put into this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrpanic7:
quick question, the v.07 youll have out the video fixes youre talking about are those for Cyanogen 6.1.2?

oh and running v.05 on cyan 6.1.2 runs pretty solid. 3300 quadrant :)

except cant keep cranked at 1.8, phone will just shut off and gotta battery pull to get back on
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
No, the issue with the video was missing code. Its missing from both my kernel and cm kernel. Will push an update to v07 out as soon as I can get away from work. ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrpanic7:
thanks again grankin you rock
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
Version. 06 makes swype FC under cyanogen 6.2 :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Version 6.1.2 is out and did you try to install/reinstall the swype beta from the themes and app forum. That may fix your problem. Did swype work with the stock cm kernel? Really the only difference is mine is overclocked. :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
What are the main benefits of flashing a kernal instead of a ROM with OC capabilities?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I have set this up in an update.zip format so you can flash it through recovery just like a rom. The main benefit is that you can make your phone run faster and (depending on the voltages the developer has used) get better battery life at the same time. My kernels are undervolted meaning you should be able to run the phone at a faster clock speed and see the same or better battery life. This is with the understanding that if you run it at full throttle all the time your battery life is going to suck. If you flash this you'll need setCPU to control the clock speeds and you can set profiles so that it changes speed depending on what the device needs thereby saving even more battery. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
So if I'm running the stock MT4G ROM and flash your Kernal (for stock ROM's)l, I'll still have the stock ROM but it'll be running on YOUR kernal correct? Thank you for the explanation!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
I've got that problem too. I used two versions of this kernel, both boot looped using stock t-mo espresso with full root (s=off and gfree).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Yes. The HTC built "stock" kernel is also less stable then the cm kernel. If you try them try the v0.01 1.7Ghz kernel first as it seemed more stable then v0.02 (on my device anyway).

Keep in mind that your device may not be capable of the same speeds someone else's is. You may be able to go faster and then again you may have to throttle it back a bit to keep your device stable. ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] larryg2k3:
Updated to .06 on CM RC 6.2, still getting huge "Android System" battery percentage, which goes away if I get rid of setCPU.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
How have you set your profiles?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
Never mind, re installed Swype beta and its all good now -thanks for your hard work on this custom kernel grankin01!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] larryg2k3:
Flashing the new CM 6.1.2 right now, but I believe it was along the lines of:

1305/768 <101% on demand

1103/368 <50% conservative

368/368 screen off
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
No problem. Glad you got it fixed. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Will do! Thank you for your time and work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
That should be good. Check your running services. You could have (and it sounds like you do) a lot of background stuff going on like data sync and such.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
My device is showing android system as the biggest drain too. I don't see it as a problem though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] droctii:
I'm back to stock, found out CM6 versions can't fix problems with 3rd party video chat apps accessing the ffc. Loved the ROM but a major deal breaker for me. So....when's the next kernel update for stock? :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I can't give you an ETA. I can say that I will probably be backing the stock kernel back down to 1.7Ghz so that I can release one sooner for you guys that are running stock. I'll keep working on the higher clock speeds in the meantime but for now 1.7Ghz seems to be what stock likes. I also have run the voltages up a little so stability should be better for most. I'll keep everyone posted as much as possible. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] droctii:
Cool. Booting first, stable second,

Clock speed last.

My 2 cents
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
Thank you. I just don't have the time to play around with ROMs at the moment. I like the stock interface, just want a little more power. I didn't like the notifications drop down modification in iced glacier.

I'm gonna bring out the books and start doing work to help out when I get things settled around home.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
I found that flashing any one of pack's battery icon made the notification drop down revert to stock (solid black, without the logo in the bottom right corner)

Pack's battery icon mod
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
Thanks. I'll try this later today. Then shouldn't have as many issues with bootlooping. I had ice glacier up and running before, so it should work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
Thanks for all the hard work :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Pardon the n00bness, but I just wanted to clarify and make user I am understanding this:

So with the stock kernel (Kernel 2.6.32.21grankin01-OC-v0.01) I will not need a custom ROM? I saw this vid at the unlocker on overclocking but it said you needed a custom ROM.

Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
No, you don't need a custom rom and what vid are you talking about? I haven't seen it. :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eunkipark92:
:DD so when is v007 coming out?

:DDD
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
v07 has landed!

Check the OP. :D

Enjoy!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kfgtboypsp:
Yea boi tryin it out!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eunkipark92:

Thanks u for this kernal. But for some reason, every time I set it to 1.7 or 1.8 my phone freezes. I'm on CM rom. Why is that?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Your phone can't handle it so bring it down. My phone can't handle 1.6+ so I have it on 1.4 and that makes it stable.

Luckily i'm having success with the higher end speeds. Thank you for the timely updates. Gives me something to look forward to!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jeffmeister:
Hey Grankin01, this is jkalex05. The Kernal is being awesome so far! Thanks again.

Don't forget to donate to our dev's these guys put in alot of time to allow us to have this stuff for our phones.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Master_sk3:
I tried using the stock kernel with the iced glacier rom and it froze at the android boot screen. Is the stock kernel suppose to work with iced glacier and MT4G stock build?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jeffmeister:
Yes the stock kernal should work for iced glacier/stock MT4G. Try flashing again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] droctii:
As noted other places...the stock kernel doesn't work with all phones. Hopefully a more stable (bootable) version comes out soon for us who are getting frozen out of all the fun! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Master_sk3:
Also to do i need to flash the market on top of this or will it just come to me automatically?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Working on putting a v03 of the HTC kernel out sometime today. Speed is back down to 1.7 in order to maintain stability. I'm also fiddling with the voltages to try and get it as stable as the CM/MIUI kernel is. ;)

Not sure. You'll probably need to flash the market seperately.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
It wont let me post on outside link till I have 8 posts... its on <the unlocker> under how to's/android/ then scroll down a little to the mytouch4g link. Click it and you cant mis the vid. Its right at the top.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Also, I can adjust the OC speed with that file right? On that vid I was telling you about, it says you can use a file called setcpu_2.04.apk to change the speeds.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Yes, you need setCPU in order to properly make use of the kernel. Thanks for the info on the vid.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] trystar:
battery life is AWESOME. I set my clock at 768 min, 1017 max, on demand and screen off at 245, 368 powersave. it's been unplugged since 8AM this morning and i still have 90% battery life left!!!

Running CM 6.2 and the v07 kernel

Thank you!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Great!!! Thanks for the info. I haven't been able to test b/c I've had my device plugged into usb testing new kernel builds. ;)

Really good to hear though. :D\

BTW, HTC kernel v03 has landed. Try it out and give me some feedback. I tested it through phone calls, several benchmarks, moving from screen to screen and menu to menu, etc with no ill effects on my device. I hope this one works better for everyone. :)

Edit: Wifi should work fine but someone let me know. I was so busy trying to get this build out that I forgot to test the wifi <facepalm>. DUH. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 30Glock:
any recomended settings for stock rom using setcpu ???

EDIT---Never mnd, restoring stock, Ths kernal froze everything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Damnit, I'm about to pull the HTC kernels altogether. What works great on my device doesn't work at all on everyone else's. This leaves me no way to test them and I hate putting out crap. :mad:

/rant end
[myTouch 4G Android Development] II-XeenoX-II:
I updated the OC kernel version .05 to .07 on CM and I get lower quadrant scores. I know Quadrant scores mean very little but just wondering why that would be? both work great for me btw
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
It does seem as if though stock is getting closer. V1 made me bootloop, v2 got to the second screen and froze, and v3 actually let me get to the lockscreen and then froze. Im gonna do some fiddling around late tonight to see if it will boot. Dont wanna miss any calls so i will wait until everyone i know is asleep.

Swyped from my ice cold HTC Glacier BKA MyTORCH4G
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I got the same quadrant scores from all of the cm kernels. You have to run it a few times to get the higher scores. It also depends on what the OS is doing in the background during the benchmark session.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
I dont know if this has been said 50 times already, but when I used this kernal it broke my remap of the genius key. As soon as I went back to Gorilla 1.7 it worked fine again. I am about 90% sure this is what did it. Just a quick heads up for whoever.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I don't really see how as this doesn't mess with the glacier_keypad.kl file at all. When you went back to gorilla's kernel did you restore from recovery or flash the anykernel package again?

I assume this was the HTC kernel. Just curious so that if it does end up being the kernel I can find out why.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dc4:
I have used your kernels on the Iced Glacier rom before moving on to the CM rom and both worked without a hitch, at least when I followed the instructions properly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
I flashed the zimage again over yours and it worked again immediately. I used your v.02. Hope that helps :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
That means its kernel. :confused:

I'll have to check into it, thanks.

Stock espresso?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] droctii:
I really really hate to say this but v.03 stock kernel = bootloop after about 3 mins on the second MyTouch splash screen.

I know you're trying so thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
Now I made a backup with the original Gorilla kernal. I am going to try it again for you right now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjlean:
Grankin I sent you a PM.

Everyone else... It wasnt the kernal. You can flash it over the remap fine.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
I retract my former rant and will leave the HTC kernels up as well as maintain them. In androids name ... amen.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Ya, np. So was the vid full of it then or what?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to learn and research. I am most likely getting the MT4G in January when I am up for an upgrade. Seeing if rooting is something I want to do.

Thanks again for your help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Video looks pretty good. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
Not trying to be a downer, but none of the kernels work for me. I do have good news; using v003, I hang at the very end of the boot animation. I get the vibration and the keypad lights up, then it won't go to the lockscreen.

I also did switch to IceGlacier after the info on the stock status bar. I tried v003 when running IceGlacier 1.1.2. I will try the other kernels with IceGlacier tomorrow. I have them ready to go, will let you know the result.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
I just wanna say that your kernels kickass!! I have used the **** out of my MT4G all day, bluetooth headset 14hrs, texting, surfing the web, etc. Still at 26% battery! SetCPU runs at 1407Mhz OnDemand, Profile Screen Off 368/245 Powersave.

I hope that people learn how to flash properly because your stuff works great!

Downloading v0.07 as we speak
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Brooklyn Sm00th:
so i flashed the .02 and it definately froze up my 4g. i just flashed the .01 and my phones back up and running but i've lost my root privileges. when i went to try to root it again, in visionary i pressed root now after checking all the set system r/w after root, turning off fast boot and turning on usb debugging, it says im already rooted. but when i goto terminal and type "su" it says, su: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

what does that mean? and how can i fix/edit whatever is causing the error so that i can re-root so that i can use the kernel.. or is there another way to overcome this. thanks in advance!!

o yeah and when i boot into recovery it does say s=off..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Did you try the version 3? I assume you mean the HTC kernel.

You could run fix permissions from the rom manager app or you could uninstall/install superuser.apk and see if that helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Brooklyn Sm00th:
im about to try version 3. yes i meant the htc kernel. and I tried to uninstall/install and that failed and running fix permissions also was a bust.

*edit

i tried version 3 and i get the same problem and actually as i was about to quote the error in setcpu. my fone had already frozen. when it was running for teh last 40 seconds it was doing so @ 1708 MHz so the kernel works just not completely.. @ this point for my fone. any ideas about that

su: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected

? Im going to flash it back to .01 in the mean time.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Sounds like the "su" binary has been corrupted. Search the forums or google for su and copy it to /system/xbin. Then try it and see what you get.

If you have a nandroid you could restore and start from scratch. It would have backed up su also.

Still running strong @47% battery left and over 14 hours unplugged with wifi and bluetooth on the whole time. Even my live wallpaper isn't making a dent in the battery life. Can't wait to see if this can be pushed over 1.8 with stability. Awesome job! Keep it up...

running .07 on miui, camera works, vid recording works, but cannot play any videos in gallery from previously recorded vids or new vids i just recorded with the cam corder app... very odd. used 2 different freshly formatted sdcards. not sure if this is kernel related or rom related?

edit: video playback is now working, but oddly enough it will start playing for a few seconds and the image will freeze... sound still playing in the back ground then the image will catch up to the sound seconds later.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
Your comment is completely baseless. We know that each phone responds differently to O/C. It just so happens that the max I have been able set my phone at is 1.49. Anything higher and it freezes, even @ 1.49, it has frozen during YouTube playback.

I have been a rooted member of the community and an app developer since I picked up my G1, over 2 years ago. It isn't us flashing the kernel wrong that causes the issue. Checked the md5s as well. It's a bit hard to mess up flashing update.zip formatted files.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vw671:
My Report:

.03 for Stock based ROM

- w/ Stock ROM: Hard a hard time booting, sometimes boot looped but would eventually boot successfully. YouTube would screw up on second video you tried to play.

- w/ Iced ROM: Had a easier time booting over stock ROM. YouTube also doesn't work for me.

.07 for Cyanogen

- w/ CM RC2: Boots every time without effort. YouTube works but FFC does not on third party video chat apps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Brooklyn Sm00th:
whats the process for copying it to /system/xbin?

i don't have a nandroid backup.. i thought this would be a quick flash and go issue "like a dumbass" i just did it rather than putting on protection first.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
The FFC issue on CM is known. Zinx isn't going to fix it because it is the third party apps using the native code improperly.

As for the stock kernel, youtube works perfect for me and I'm still tweaking the voltages. Just turn setCPU down a little and it should be fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
It honestly should have been a set it and forget it type of thing. This happens every once in a while though.

How good are you with adb? PM me and we'll see what we can do. ;)
