1. Is it true that it takes a few days for a phone to get used to a new kernal?

LOL no... haha... But it IS advisable to let it boot completely 2 times before normal usage (rebuilding of Dalvik Cache and do not interrupt startup scripts, will usually results in much more stable operations)

2. If yes, does flashing the newest nightly and then your kernal right away keep me on your kernal the whole time effectively or will that eventually mess with the phone in weird or bad ways?

If you only Flash CM7 nightlies, you should be safe if you follow my OP installation instruction every time...

When you flash to a different series, ie. RoyalGinger, even though it is based on CM7, it is advisable to Wipe DATA and CACHE...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Every time I update nightlies I wipe cache, wipe dalvik then install. Basically just add flashing your kernal at the end of flashing cm7 and reboot twice and I should be good. Awesome!

Faux I'm interested in the kind of battery life you are getting or suggestable SETCPU settings one uses with smartass kernel (may just be first run but I barely managed to pull 6 hours) Or if anyone getting great battery can post their setcpu settings I would appreciate it, because using this with stock settings doesnt seem to be working out alright... (I am now charging my phone and I am about to flash stock recovery, charge phone completely, then charge while off)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
My phone does not like smart ass governor my battery drains fast. Try different governor I use min/Max governor. Your phone may like being on a different governor.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
Haven't used SetCPU since running CM7, but I will now that Faux says it's needed to run his kernel properly. Here's the settings I used back on CM6 and they worked pretty well, listed highest priority first:

Screen off

245/368

Battery Temp > 50C

245/768

Charging

245/1305

Battery < 21%

245/768

Battery < 41%

245/1017

I set my default min/max to 245/1209.

I must have had some weird stuff going on when I first tried 2.0.6 on RC2 (I had followed the OP instructions on flashing and re-booting), My WiFi speeds fell off a cliff. Even after flashing dumfaq's kernel - still bad (1mbps versus normal 12000 - 14000 in router room).

Turned WiFi off overnight, and in the AM - turned it back on (had done off-on-off-on before), and it was back to 12,000 - 14,000?

However, the 300 drop in quadrent speed is still there (first noticed on 2.0.4). At 1612Mhz, speeds were 25xx on RC2 and dumfaq, and only 21xx this kernel (first pass only 17xx).

Anyone else noting slower quadrent? I will stay with this kernel for now due to the good battery usage (see note below), but would really like to get back at least to stock performance.

Note to those with really bad battery life - check your settings. I had been only using about 8% of my battery overnight with lv kernels and smartass governor, but last night was 44%.

It was on network rather then usual WiFi, and applications like Google Sync, Qik, etc. ran wild (since I was on network, 3G Watchdog Pro showed the data send/receive usage while on network of these apps - an eye opener).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Regarding 3G/4G Battery issue:

3G/4G is in a POOR RECEPTION area is a battery hog regardless of kernel or ROMs... Just the nature of the beast... If you have good Wifi Signal, you save more juice connecting via Wifi than poor reception 3G/4G. Yes, there are many Stealthy Background Apps... People need to wake up and be aware of those :p

Regarding Synthetic Benchmark issue:

:cool: I am not going to do anything related to "Synthetic Benchmark Issues". :D Use my kernel as you like, benchmark issues will NOT be consider as issues. If my kernels are slow, you have the freedom to switch to another one :) No one is forcing you to use software from anyone... This is the freedom provided by Open Source Projects :D Gotta LOVE Freedom of Choice... <3 <3 <3

Just want to clarify... I am NOT offended by Gaww's post at all... I just want to clarify what I consider as serious issues where I need to concentrate on :cool: He's giving good feedbacks and Yes, I do read the posts here, but I don't always reply... :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smonme:
trying min/max right now, gonna flash stock recovery and charge while off see, then start the madness, still waiting to see what faux uses :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
I use my default smartass... NO SETCPU, NO CPU profile via CM Settings... I am into long battery life :D, not super duper Quandrant scores or Amazing LintPack scores etc.... I've tweaked the SmartAss to be as battery efficient as possible while providing excellent everyday use performance. If you have issues with Smartass, you may want to see if you have installed a malware (ie, some rogue apps that sits in background and constantly accessing cell network or constantly using CPU for some nefarious activities..).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smonme:
hmm it is possible I MAY have something rogue running in the background, I set all my sync times to 3 hours, do you have a particular app you use to monitor apps running in the background?, so smartass should work better than min/max.. I dont care about quadrant or linpack (i mean unless your doing a phone review or comparing to another phone in front of you.. whats the point lol), I just want my battery to last forever (16-18 hours), thanks for the fast responses though :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Appreciate your response and understand it - not real concerned about the benchmark - just thought it odd.

On the battery issue - understand that also, but in my case, I have pretty good network reception - 5500 down and 1700 up. Tower apparently very close. It was all the junk running in the background overnight.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scrubsja:
This may be a dumb question but how do you schedule your synch times? There is no option for this in Accounts and synch settings menu. Is there a simple app that allows for customization of synch times?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Clarification please on SETCPU. I believe the OP says to (ONLY) use it to set the min/max speeds, as they will not stick in CMOD performance settings only on rebooting.

Also - if going to install kernel with new ROM, any reason not to flash it all at the same time after wiping cache/davlek once before flashing the ROM? Having good results with the low voltage versions, so will probably continue flashing these also (lucky to have a "better" processor I guess).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Chilled26:
Difference between low voltage and stock voltage?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kennyp987:
I tried installing this kernel on the gingersense Rom and it broke WiFi now it says error.....i already did fix permissions and reboots...I used 2.0.6 lv.....should I try a different one?

MT4G + GingerSense
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
The other one is for sense lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kennyp987:
The other one is for froyo lol.

And the GingerSense Rom comes with the cm7 kernel lol.

MT4G + GingerSense
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Maybe the ROM is messed up.... My Gingerbread Kernel HAS BEEN tested with GingerSense and it should work out of the gate... You did something wrong :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kennyp987:
I'm trying the rom in the general forum WiFi worked fine with the cm kernel

MT4G + GingerSense
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
I know, I saw your multiple posts... There's something wrong when updating, because the updater script should have copied over the corresponding BCM4239.ko file to /system/lib/modules/ but somehow it didn't, which means the existing Kernel or ROM has permission issues that the updater script failed to copy file over.. Someone in the General Section has posted a fix for it... By using ADB and manually push the file to the correct folder from my Zip file...

The Kernel will WORK with this or any other versions of GingerSense... There's something wrong with the setup which prevented the updater script to work properly... This is NOT a kernel issue but a ROM/permission issue....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I did not read your post carefully - lol me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gadget421:
i AGREE WITH FAUX123

no setcpu....smartass...i use 245-1209 through cm7 settings. low kernal

i use my phone for work... 8hrs/75%

with around 1hr of calls,internet,bt on ,gps on,email

i love the long life

benckmark/quadrant score.. gets you no prize...faux kernal gets you more life.

not sure what the difference is between low and stock kernel? please explain

:):):)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Faux, ive tried using your lv and sv and both are making the phone freeze coming from wake. The screen will load upside down and require a battery pull.

If theres a way to try and grab a log cat for you ill try and help bring something to the table but for now I unfortunately can not keep using your kernal
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Sorry to hear about that... you can copy the last_kmsg from /proc folder and give me that text file... it might help...

the file:

/proc/last_kmsg

Have you tried full wipe (data/cache everything) and start from scratch... Sometimes contaminations from multiple flash overs can cause issues too

Also have you tried let the phone reboot twice after wipe cache/dalvik after new kernel install per my OP instruction?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
So if i want better performance on mario kart 64, should iget the undervolted or stock voltage kernel? :cool:

I have currently set the smartass governor on the uv kernel with ~1700 max, 245min and using only cm7 settings.

Any suggestions in order to improve overal gaming experience?

Great job on the kernel btw :D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:

Yes your kernal was installed exactly as stated in the OP after a fresh data, cache, and system format for build 13.

It was as clean as possible.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
I had some strange behavior. I got a warranty replacement today and flashed this kernel (both lv and sv) and everytime I set the max higher than 1.5 via cm 7 cpu settings my phone would completely freeze. I had cm 7 cpu settings setting min max at boot. I unchecked that and used cpu tuner to set the min max and it didn't freeze. Is there any reason why the phone would freeze when setting them through the cm7 settings and not freezing when you use cpu tuner or setcpu when the settings are identical? Or is this phone just finicky?

For example

Cm7 cpu: min/max: 246/1.6, interactive: freezes

Cpu tuner: min/max: 246/1.6, interactive: runs like a dream
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PBGunFighta:
I dont know if this is the right place to ask but how do you get the CIFS part of the kernel to work? do i have to follow the instructions on the thread you hyperlinked? Cause i can't figure out how to use it atm -.-' unless i have to follow that thread
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Hm... Interesting that CPU turner behaves differently from SetCPU or internal CM7 adjustments...

Sorry mate, I am really busy lately... Don't have much time to spend on CIFS coolness... The link I posted in the OP's bulletin section has lots of information, please investigate on your own and SHARE WITH US your discovery or journey on this thread or a dedicated CIFS thread so OTHERS USERS can benefit from your own discoveries on CIFS..

Quick Announcement:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Downloading 2.1.0 now! Thank you Faux!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
I no longer see any statement in the OP about using SetCPU. Does this mean it's not needed?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CableMan67:

Same here, had been working fine on nightly #14, switched over to latest faux kernel and started getting upside down freeze screen. Had to pull the battery to reset. Going back to #14 to verify.

I've been seeing force closes all day long. I'm running nightly 14 with the faux lv kernal. I'm going to post there also. I've had launcher pro, Wikipedia, and a few others force close and seen considerable lag. I've got the kernal at stock settings, though I'm using setcpu for the widget. Anyone else seeing this?

I followed all your instructions and booted twice with about 10 min of letting set after boot and this all follows a fastboot wipe and clean install of cmn 14

Sent from my HTC Glacier armed to the teeth and dressed to the nines using CM7 Nightlies!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Haha... I saw your posts... you don't need to have multiple posts :p

I had almost the same exact setup as yours:

Nightly 14, Kernel 2.1.0, LauncherPro pro and Wikipedia Widgets and SetCPU widgets.. and I had ZERO issues nor lag :D

First turn off SetCPU... That program has caused a few problems on its own. I don't know anything about fastboot wipe... I ALWAYS use ClockworkMod Recovery to wipe data/cache when I do a clean install. Maybe its related to Fastboot Wipes... I never tried it... I suggest you start from scratch but this time use ClockworkMod's Data/Cache wipes instead...

I am now back to my Sense ROM kernel now... I won't be back to CM7/Gingerbread for a while until I reach my ultimate version 1.0.0 for my Froyo kernel :(.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] macheteZen:
I have noticed ADWLauncher randomly closing on 2.1.0 with NB#14. Sometimes it occurs in app sometimes not. I will attempt to catch it in a logcat tomorrow.

EDIT: Sorry faux didn't see your post when i wrote this. I will try freezing/uninstalling setCPU and replicate for logcat.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
That one is an APP (LauncherPro) incompatibility issue with CM7 Nightlies or Gingerbread in general... It has NOTHING to do with the kernel.. I have already experienced the same random issue with LauncherPro and have already determined that it is NOT KERNEL RELATED at ALL :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
damn, oh well. If launcher pro were my only issue I'll be a happy guy, didn't see the new update out, I'll try from scratch again, the way you described. I'm glad I had 3 days off in a row to work on this. It's fun but time consuming. I will keep you posted on how it works out.

Fastboot wipes have been described to me by True Blue Drew basically as slightly more complete wipes from what CWR does. I'm going to try the new kernal with the fastboot wipe and cmn 14. (as a mechanic I want to only change one thing at a time when possible to figure out what is going on) if I have the same problems tomorrow I'll try again with only CWR wipe with new kernal and CMN14.

Also I won't install setcpu, are there other widgets for monitoring cpu?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
soon as that happened I switched back to dumfuqs but I would like to use yours because of the constant updates. Ill go ahead and flash back your kernal tomorrow and run a log cat for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Hey Faux, been running your 2.1 LV today. Performed a fastboot wipe, installed nightly 14, installed 2.1LV, let load the recomended way. after 2 full long boots installed gapps and started setting up. Let charge overnight. So far, things are running great. If my battery life holds consistant to what I've seen so far, I'll be aprox. 20-30 hrs on one charge, Awesome. No problems yet! I'll keep you posted

BTW: I uninstalled set cpu and made sure that the cyanogen settings were NOT set to load on boot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smatthew45:
Sorry if this issue has been addressed already, but I'm currently running CM7 RC2 and tried to flash the kernel but when it rebooted wifi was not working, it said "error" under settings. I tried both the latest 2.1 LV and SV and wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions and tried rebooting again but no luck so far, any thoughts?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
Thanks a lot faux. I spent all this time enjoying your froyo kernel, then I finally make the switch to gingerbread and you GO BACK TO FROYO.

I would be upset, but everything is smooth as can be on RG1.3, kudos on another fine piece of work. I think I'm going to stick to gingerbread this time, unless i get curious and decide to try out that thunderbolt port...

hey faux123 im getting a wifi error flashing your latest kernel on the DHD Ginger Sense Rom. Is there Anyway I can fix this. great kernel btw. thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
There's something wrong with the ROM which for some reason DOES NOT copy the kernel modules correctly...

After you flashed my kernel, do this:

1. Extract all the .ko files to a folder

2. Use root explorer (or any file manager with root access)

3. Copy all the .ko files (bcm4329.ko, cifs.ko, utf-8.ko) to /system/lib/modules

4. Use Terminal Emulator and enter the following codes

su
cd /system/lib/modules
chmod 644 *
chown root.root *

reboot and you should be up and running :D

Hey faux, here is a quick question, so im running the 2.10 stock voltage with the rc2. Loving the performance so far (i play zelda the ocarina of time all day long lol) when i set for interactive max 1700 min 1000..

Albeit, i have a bit of a predicament in my hands...if i set my cpu to any other governor (per say ive tried smartass min 245, max 1133 or max min gov with same speeds...

Btw no set cpu profiles) and my phone goes standby, when i try to unlock it will freeze and ill have to do a battery pull :(

What could be causing this? I mean, i set it for interactivr and no freezes, the problem is that it consumes battery at a large rate...

[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
Lol you edited the post

So, my question is: why do i get freezes at the lockscreen when the phone goes in idle and i try to wake it? More specificaly, why only with certain governors (smartass and maxmin)? Interactive does not lock but it does consume more battery

I'm running 2.1 lv build 17. I've had 3 random reboots in the past 24 hours. (One last night and two back to back today) I was running build 8 with the same settings for over a week and I never had any issues. I also have been experiencing random lock ups as well especially when the speed is set over 1.5. I use to be able to set dum's up to 1.7 Max 246 min interactive without a single glitch now that kernel also locks up on me on anything higher than 1.5 when I use the interactive gov as well. Its odd.. with smartass gov I'm fine with a 246 min and 1.7 Max but 1.8 or 1.83 locks it up it use to be able to run at 1.8 fine ( not that I run it at that, just testing everything)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
CPU issue... Not a kernel issue... Build 17 probably has more stuff going on, therefore putting more load on the CPU. Dumfuq's, CM7 default and my LV kernel are all under volted... Try Stock voltage to see if you still have issues... Anyways OC is not guaranteed at all and I will NOT spend anytime debugging those errors.
