wow big thanks for this - didn't even know such a thing existed

this should make noobs like myself flash kernels with ease :p and when I mean noobs I mean guys who get lost in this adb/linux talk heh (I used the one-click method to flash 1.1.6 and I'm still on it because I suck)

just to be 100000000000000% sure... flashing a kernel in no way erases the data on the xoom right? One thing I hate doing is starting over...
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
oh no it doesnt if something goes wrong and you like bootloop or something go into clockwork and flash a back up
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
noob question #2 ... clockwork?

if I use ROM Manager and flash said clockwork recovery ... still not losing anything right?
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
dang, kernel manager 1.1.2 seems broken ... java.nullpoint.exception etc... when opening. crashes when trying to flash the 1.3.1 zip file
[Xoom Android Development] arcadia2uk:
You have to start with an adb push to install kernel 1.3.1 (or to root with this kernel) this will allow for the Xoom to recognize the SD card. If this is not done first. you cannot use neither Clockwork Recovery, nor Kernel Manager.

Once this is done once for all, you should be good to go. Unless, of course, you flash a kernel that doesn't mount the SD card.

linpack and quadrant are slower now... 45 in linpack and 2600 quadrant. and it on 1.5ghz.. what happend?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
no you will not lose anything data wise just make sure you follow the procedures you should be fine if your rooted then you can just download rom manager and flash the recovery.img

[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
you can use once click method to flash the tiamit 1.3.1 kernal
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
reset your setcpu app and put in performance mode
[Xoom Android Development] troy22:
i did that getting the same scores..
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
I too am seeing slower performance numbers. Running in performance I am only getting as high as 2750 on Quadrant. This leads me to think there might be an order of install to make this scream?? Is that possible?

My order of install was as follows:

1) HRI66

2) Unlock and root

3) ClockWork Recovery

4) Tiamat 1.3.2

5) Overclock

Could something in the overclock mod be overriding Tiamat 1.3.2?

Steve
[Xoom Android Development] 760hacker:
From experience I would stay away from the performance governor. Interactive seems to work best for me.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
i would

1) HR166

2) Unlock and root

3) flash the tiamat 1.3.1 kernal after making the sdcard2 folder inside of sdcard

4) clockwork recovery

5) Tiamat 1.3.2 kernel

I dont think you can install clockwork before installing a kernal that supports mounting the sdcard let me know
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I have used both why stay away from performace? I know it might be a strain on the cpu but if you set cpu to lower down when screen is off should help?
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
weird, I updated to 1.3.2 and it still says 1.1.6 in my about screen in settings....

also my Quadrant is 2418 :( wth did I do wrong now...
[Xoom Android Development] ftgg99:
I flashed from 3.1 today via clockwork and cifs functionality seems broken.

Do i have to start digging or is this a common issue/ my own xooms problem?
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. 1.3.3? Refresh... :-D
[Xoom Android Development] ftgg99:
eh?

[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Just flashed clockworkmod recovery. When I go to flash 1.3.2, I copied the zip from the OP to /sdcard/sdcard2, I go to install zip from sdcard, then my first option is apply /sdcard/update.zip. Should it be called update.zip or should it have the same file name as in OP?
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
I'm waiting for 1.3.3
[Xoom Android Development] Sodikop:
:rolleyes:

Be patient, BRD and everyone else are working on it.

Lurk around the Freenode chatroom and you would know they are playing a bit of ping-pong.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
I hope no one takes that as impatience, I'm just excited to try it. :-) I appreciate the work they're doing and understand good work takes time. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Also, if I turn off the Xoom, take out the sd card, and turn it back on, I don't see anything under device storage when I go to My Computer. Everything is there again once I replace the card and reboot.

I just deleted sdcard2, ran the codes to mkdir, and repushed all the 1.3.1 files.

I still get unable to write to ums lunfile when I click mount usb storage.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Choose "install zip from sd card", then find the file that you downloaded and put on the SD. Flash that, not update.zip.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
got 1.3.2 up and running, 2000 quandrant score... something's definitely not right here!!!
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
The only option is to apply update.zip. I try the second option, use zip from sd card (something like that) and it says no files found.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Here's some slightly modified instructions from the main posts. Changes bolded. Please make sure you follow them exactly before reposting. :) Easy to re-read things wrong, so be careful!

1A- Make sure you have a "sdcard2" folder in "sdcard". If not, make it. Leave it empty.

1B- Flash clockwork recovery for xoom (My preference: use Rom Manager (preferrably Premium) from the Market), then reboot into recovery.

2. Go into "mounts and storage"

3. Select "mount USB storage" (NOT SDCARD)

4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Open SD Card from your PC and drag-drop the kernel zip to it. ROOT folder only.

5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"

6. Navigate to the zip file and select it. It will now flash.

7. Back out to main menu and reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yeah I already have sdcard2, and I flashed CWM recovery. When I click mount USB storage I get the error that it cannot write to ums lunfile.

I'm going to flash recovery again and try these again.

EDIT: Yeah same thing. Mount USB storage gives the error.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Do you have an SD card in there? What root method did you use?
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yeah I have an SD card. I used one click to root and I was at 1.3.0 Manually pushed 1.3.1.

I should be able to copy something from the xoom (through astro) to sdcard2 then take out the card, plug it into my computer, and see it right?

I can still see the sdcard2 directory in astro when the card is not in there.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
I'm a little confused as to how that works. The kernel registers sdcard2 as sdcard in recovery, but obviously a directory can't literally be the sd. It's a placeholder as I understand it.

The system isn't seeing the SD Card. Here's some stuff to try until someone more knowledgable can answer:

1. Remove and re-seat the SD card, test.

2. Try reformatting your SD Card, there's some posts about that in this thread, test.

3. Re-do 1.3.1 and try again

4. (shouldn't have to do this one if 1.3.1 is pushed properly) Go back to 1.3.0, then flash clockwork and try again, test.

5. Try a different SD Card.
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
I've taken it out and put it back in probably 10 times now. Formatted on my PC to FAT32 like someone else did. I pushed 1.3.1 again. Don't have another sd card, just waited like a week for this one to get here.

Thanks anyway for trying.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
If that's jwtyler's one click (only one I'm aware of), you might try re-running it, and just make sure each step goes through and you can see the commands entered for each step.

I had an issue where I would lose screen focus of the command prompt windows, and some steps didn't work. I had to re-run and skip steps I knew worked. I believe (use your judgement) it's safe to run all steps again. Perhaps some part necessary to see the SD didn't flash. Then just go from 1.3.0 straight to 1.3.2 (or wait for 1.3.3, looks like it's coming today or tomorrow :-D)
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
Thank you for the amazing kernel, brd!

Grr Tap-A-Talk's pic died. Uploading pic directly to XDA.

4408
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yeah I was watching each step during the one click and they matched up exactly as in this thread. Every step was executed completely.

I think I'll just manually push 1.3.2. I need to push the same 5 files, correct?
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Showoff ;)
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
That's my understanding. Let us know how it goes. I'm out for today, except for checking XDA App for an "official" release of 1.3.3 ;)
[Xoom Android Development] xjack:
Hello all! Android newbie here! Migrating over from WinMo phones so flashing is not new, but some of the adb has required some reading!

I'm also having issues getting the sdcard to work. Basic PNY 16GB class 4card.

Tried it from stock using one click root to no avail. I went all the way back to stock/lock when it didn't work the first time and manually unlocked and rooted then pushed the files in adb.

CW does not mount the card on my Win7x64 and does not generate an error. So I copied the zip from my PC to the sdcard.

Ironically, I can flash 1.3.2 from the sd in CW, but after reboot the zip file can't be found with RootExplorer. Pop it back in my Touch Pro2 or PC and it's right there.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Where are you getting the Quadrant (sp?) app to run the scores?

Nevermind, I found Quandrant Standard in the market. But I am only getting a 2492 score. Would you know why?
[Xoom Android Development] xmellyx:
Another winner from BRD!!!

Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
How are you guys getting these high scores? I am running 1.3.2 but I am only getting 2492.
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
Just search for Quadrant on the Android Market... :-)
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Sorry, I did that. lol After I quoted the message and hit reply I thought, maybe I should just check the market. HA!

But... I am only getting 2492. I'm using 1.3.2 and running Droid Overclock at 1504MHz and it is set to ON DEMAND.
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
They're using a future kernel, it's not released yet.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
run it a few times, check to see if your running setcpu in performance mode?
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
I am running in performance mode and am only seeing mid 2700s now. I validated 1.3.2 is installed and running, so not sure what else I am in need of.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
I am using Droid Overclock and was set to On Demand, so that could be it. Going to check again now.
[Xoom Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
Ok, here's my issue.

I've created the sdcard2 folder on the sdcard.

I used kernel manager to flash 1.3.2

wifi is broken

I try to push the module files (.ko) files manually via adb

I shell out to the proper folder where everything is located

adb remount goes fine

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko AND...

'cannot stat 'bcm4329.ko' : No such file or directory

When I check that location manually, I see those files in that exact directory. I have no idea why this is. I'm no noob and I'm usually pretty good with ADB and comman prompt but I've tried moving these files to other directories just to try and still nothing. Even when I've placed the files on the main directory with the adb app, it keeps giving me the same prompt. Any ideas???
[Xoom Android Development] pyrator:
just a thought, copy bcm4329.ko to your sdcard and use root explorer to move it to /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko, reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] pyrator:
Reflash the kernel and set both bars in setcpu to 1504 and use performance gov.
[Xoom Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
Save to actual sdcard or sdcard2?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
You won't get 4500 scores til next release no worries
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Ran it again with Droid Over clock at 1504MHz with it set to performance and now getting 2551.

Saw some other post that those 4000 scores are from a future kernal, so now I'm confused. Lol
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
just curious, what does 1.3.3 do or fix to have such a huge quadrant score jump? Quadrant benchmarks a lot, but video quality mainly right?
[Xoom Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
Is there any way to copy the necessary files directly to the sdcard and do this via terminal??? If anyone knows what the exact commands would be, please let me know.
[Xoom Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
Nevermind, I just flashed again on clockworkmod manually without using kernel manager and eureka! Well, if anyone else is having problems with the module files not being pushed by kernel manager and your wifi is breaking, just make sure you put the zip file on your sdcard and flash it through clockworkmod.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
oops double post sorry
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
So I tried pushing 1.3.2 manually. I pushed the first 3 files fine, I push cifs.ko and it just sits there....

I couldn't do anything but close the cmd window. Then opening another didn't help. Adb reboot did nothing. I reboted the xoom with power+vol up. It rebooted fine. Question is, do I need to repush cifs.ko and void.fstab or am I fine like this?

If I need to push those last 2, do I need to go through flashing boot.img as well or just those files?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
just flash it in cwr
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
I couldn't get the SD card to mount to the PC, which is why I'm flashing manually.
[Xoom Android Development] greenro89:
im having problems attempting to overclock.. Droid overclock keeps force closing when trying to get in to set the settings
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
open it portrait mode either that get cpu its stable :-) just got an update today for it
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Crap, it's showing as offline. adb devices shows it, but says offline next to the serial number.

Nevermind, got it connected again. Still can't push cifs.ko, though.

Command just finished, but it didn't push the file, it said protocol failure
[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
I'm getting lags when recording vids neone else??
[Xoom Android Development] greenro89:
Thanks for the tip!! Worked first try :-)
[Xoom Android Development] mskks64:
So I installed this the other day but didnt really have time to mess with it and it isn't showing the sd card in astro. I went to about and it says 1.3.2 in the kernel. But then I go in astro and I can't find a folder named sd card 2 it should be located right under sdcard right? also I have tried 2 different sd cards and neither work both formatted
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:
yes, sdcard2 should be inside the sdcard folder.

are you flashing 1.3.2 from stock kernel and not from 1.3.0/1?

if so, you need to read the OP directions again and follow the "special instructions" where it states using adb to create the sdcard2 directory before flashing the new kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] mskks64:
I don't remember which I flashed from, i just used clockwork

it's not in the sd card folder either :S

obviously the kernel installed since it says 1.3.2

did it maybe not install right?

I have reinstalled it several times
[Xoom Android Development] crxtasi:
From OP:

Instruction for flashing kernel NOTE: These instruction assume you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery! If you ARE NOT coming from 1.3.1,createa "sdcard2" folderinsideyour "sdcard".

So just make a folder inside your sdcard (either thru a file manager or adb) and name it sdcard2 Then insert your sdcard and reboot!
[Xoom Android Development] atoosa:
OMG

This is what I was waiting for. Installed it Worked like a charm....Now this is really an iPad Killer if it catches on. Sad thing is most people like the iPad because its simple. I believe geeks like most of us like the Xoom and other Android Tablets because you can tinker with them. Thanks to the developers of this mod.....AWESOME....
[Xoom Android Development] TheBurgh:
Please confirm if possible. I searched thread and it says that the files need extracted and placed in adb in order push them. Is this accurate or should the files just be extracted to the tools folder?
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
Tools directory works just fine if you are using ADB to implement them.
[Xoom Android Development] TheBurgh:
thanks for the help
[Xoom Android Development] le_pere_noel:
hello, i just try to install the 1.3.2 after installing recovery and everything and I get an installation aborted :/ any idea where this problem comes from ?

The sdcard is not format, i use a sdcard from my phone where I create a folder sdcard2 and the zip file inside. I have a signature verification failed :/

EDIT : Forget I am an idiot :). Everything works perfect let's have fun and already thks for your jobs
[Xoom Android Development] Cyxx:
I can read the SD card, but can´t write. (I´m using one that had in my archos 70), also if I put a new one, the system don´t discover it.

Any tips?

chris
[Xoom Android Development] danman7:
When you remove & insert the new one, did you reboot? I believe with the present kernel, you must reboot for it to recognize the change of sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
sooo again... anyone know the big changes from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 that somehow increase performance almost 60% ?
[Xoom Android Development] tbayne:
I believe 1.3.3 has been pulled because the changes to achieve the speed boost caused some sort of data corruption.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Like what?
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
yikes

wondering what kind of changes they made to have such speed boosts...so far no one's replied. I mean if Motorola bugged out somewhere... they should be alerted of this fix :) I was personally expecting scores in the 4000-5000 range when getting the XOOM cuz I was told it's "3 times faster" than anything else on the market in terms of android phones... so going from 1500 on my N1 to 2400 on the Xoom is not exactly groundbreaking!
[Xoom Android Development] pmp.s:
Can this kernel be used with the canadian wifi. Only. Version ?
[Xoom Android Development] gpstar:
yes, i'm running it on mine.
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Data corruption and quadrant trickery! Lol. Don't think quadrant supports dual processor, so it's apples to oranges anyway. Unless my understanding is incorrect.
[Xoom Android Development] jondwillis:
I noticed that my benchmarks were lower when I had my SD Card mounted. When I removed it, the benchmarks went up a bit. 1.3.2
[Xoom Android Development] xmellyx:
The kernal isn't ready for prime-time yet. There are issues with the code that could create huge battery drain and possible data corruption. The next big step is mass storage.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
it's quiet... too quiet..................

oh well I guess a new version'll come out after the easter break :p
[Xoom Android Development] myv6mustang:
Any plans for stability improvement? Noticed a lot more crashes in 1.3.2.
[Xoom Android Development] ccogan:
So I just got a 32gb card. I have a 8gb currently that I have running the 1.3.2 kernel. To use the new card do I just create the sdcard 2 folder, insert the card and reboot? Is it that easy?
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
From what I know, the kernel does not run off the SDCard... you just flashed the files to your system. So you should be able to just take out your 8gb card and put in the 32gb one.

But... wait for another reply because I am not 100% certain. lol
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
It hasn't been pulled. The speed boost is from the standard EXT4 mounting tweaks. This unreasonably boosts Quadrant performance. Sure, latencies in other areas may be slightly lower, but it will most likely not be noticeable.

My Nexus S is running those same tweaks and scores 4k in Quadrant as well (well technically about 50 points shy of 4000). This is further proof that your Quadrant score doesn't matter, as it puts an unreasonably high weighting on IO performance. Something like Smartbench 2010 or Smartbench 2011 (dual core optimized) is, in my opinion, much better.

In other words, don't worry about the 4k Quadrant scores. I was just posting mine for fun.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
So are there any real world differences between 1.3.3 and 1.3.2?
[Xoom Android Development] xmellyx:
No, not really. It doesn't translate into real-world improvements. It is just optimized for high benchmark scores but can cause some other undesired effects. 1.3.3 should not be used by anyone for any period of time. We just flashed to take some quadrant scores screencaps and flashed back. It was just for fun.

Bigrushdog is working on a new kernal with some mem improvements that should prove to be more noticeable. Plus enable mass storage and some other goodies.

Patience is a virtue :-)
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
1.3.3 was pulled from testing. The "hyperspeed" did improve quadrant scores, but at he same time had MANY errors. All testers were asked to remove it and toss it in their trash cans.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I keep running smartbench 2011 and it keeps coming up with invalid results? Says on the app that it does not render all of the test correctly on honeycomb based tablets yet so would that not skew the data?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
weird i am running it and did not have one problem in the past few days should i take it off and reflash 1.3.2?
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
Ah, thank you for that. I haven't run 2011 on the XOOM yet, but I have on other Tegra 2 devices.

As xmellyx said, there is very little real world benefit to this kernel. Theoretically, though, it can help. I haven't experienced any errors or issues with it, though... And I use it extensively and for prolonged periods.

Oh, and to egg you guys on, I've attached another image. :)
[Xoom Android Development] m0oskk:
kidding kidding kidding kidding

Make sure you guys backup before you flash anything!!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Could you edit you post, the test kernels are not suppose to be posted here ;)
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
just flashed the 1.3.2 kernal from your app and now i can not do any back ups clockwork says error loading boot img after saying that i have no space left?

nevermind got it
[Xoom Android Development] m0oskk:
Make sure you guys backup before you flash anything!!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] :

[Xoom Android Development] whitedragon33:

[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I never posted a test kernel?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:

[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:

[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Go ahead and post 1.4.2, I won't tell anyone. :)
[Xoom Android Development] :
Just updated to 1.3.2 and my wireless no longer works. Rebooted, and 3g came up, but wifi says "error" and will not activate. Restoring to 1.3.1...

Edit: getting "error while erasing boot image!" message now - any help is appreciated.

Edit 2: found I need to manually restore...
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
This just means the modules didn't get pushed. You could reflash the kernel or just push the modules like we had to do from the start to 1.3.1.
[Xoom Android Development] mskks64:
I have a folder called sdcard2 on my sd card but astro isn't picking it up?! any suggestions?!
[Xoom Android Development] m0oskk:
Did you flash 1.3.1 or 1.3.2?
