I can't find a list of the benefits of running this new kernel...:o:confused:

Because having a new kernel for the sake of having a new one, well... :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Xjester:
I have been using the new kernel on V4 update from Khal and i believe the new kernel is not as fast as the previous one.

moreover during heavy data transfer over wifi and some other heavy load (even with around 78mb free memory ) the phone reboots and it has happened a few times now.

For now i think i will be sticking with the first kernel.

btw any chance of incorporating .32 kernel ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
What does it say the name is for the new kernel under kernel version in settings?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] secret_tidus:
is ur kernel posted at the 1st page is the latest 1? i found that loaded ur kernel with swap will crash when running dungeon hunter2.. it ll eventually freeze..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
So I've been testing for a bit and noticed that with Swap enabled the phone requires a higher Vsel setting than without swap kernel implemented...

Increasing the Vsel setting has stoped the freeze ups i was having seems nice and stable at 1000Mhz @ 74Vsel any lower and using battery intensive apps like GPS nav will cause the phone to lock up...

This is probly due to the rw on the sdcard.... swap needs to be internal like using the left over 150mb app data storage is that posible? to partition the internal storage?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Probably its possible to use a swap file? On linux you can use multiple swap locations with different priorities. Just flapping my gums, but as an example I would expect you could do something like 32mb in /data and 32mb in /cache and also a swap partition on the sdcard with priorities set to favor the internal ones. But it's been sounding like people have been using relatively monsterous swap sizes much larger than what's available internally. I personally haven't had time to play with the swap kernel.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
I became obsessed i found this so far sflash omap3430

Phone off hold vol down + cam VOILA! sflash omap3430

I believe this is both the key to free boot-loader and swap on internal... just flapping my gums :P

Just need to find correct impulse to force post...

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
fjfalcon's boot2.img seems to work fine for me with Khal's v4 rom!

Just to confirm, the kernel version is 2.6.29-omap1 cheater@chernyak #7?

I'll give it some time to compare to the earlier kernel, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Having a swap partition is excellent for my usage.

Cheers.

I tried powering on with [volume down]+[shutter] and I just got the normal bootloader? (I also tried with the [gallery]) Are you seeing something different?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
yeah but the phone has to be connected to PC and you will see the driver installer come up.

it looks just like the normal bootloader but i think maybe there is more but i havent been able to do anything with it :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
I'm using the KhaelPowersv4(steel) ROM and did apply the swap kernel via fastboot. Everything works fine until i need to reboot my phone. It will not boot (Motorola Logo/Bootloop). It will also not boot after reapplying the swap kernel (via OpenRecovery/ADB). I need to flash an older image for the phone to work again. What's wrong ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
yeah is it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] darren_soh86:

Any benefit of using this kernal w/o cache swap enabled?:confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Is there a way to do this directly in phone. I ask that because I want to know if we can do that by adding commands to file /etc/install-recovery.sh to launch it automatically at phone boot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
Hey everyone,

I have been running both kernels with Khals v4 for a while now, and here are some things I'd like to share:

Pros:

Definite performance increase. Anyone who knows anything about operating systems and computer hardware will attest to this: more memory = better performance. You can run more applications, and the phone is more responsive. No more launcher restarts after running a heavy app! I cannot list a bigger 'pro' than this for a smartphone.

Cons:

It crashes, but not very often. I find that it crashes more using the second kernel that fjfalcon posted, which is why I will stick to the first kernel.

Battery life is not as high. I cannot validate this with any numbers, but my instinct is that it is for several reasons:

1. Since my phone is overclocked to 1Ghz, I have to use 74vsel in Milestone Overclock (compared to the 60vsel or something you can use at 1ghz, and the phone will still be stable). Higher voltage = more power consumed. Simple physics.

2. More reads/writes to the sd card's swap partition (which in turn is slower than reading/writing to the phone's internal RAM), results in more power consumption.

Some niggles:

If you set your phone to not search for networks automatically (I do this because where I work, there are deadzones and occasionally my phone switches to Wind AWAY, which incurs roaming charges if I'm not careful), sometimes fastbooting the kernel will result in the phone displaying "Emergency Calls Only", because it does not know what network you have to connect to. To bypass this, you simply have to search for your desired network again, and reconnect to it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Battery is about 15-20% less from my calculation, but it's worthed. It desn't crash at all for me. And it's stable @ 1000mhz 66vsel for me. People even use 1ghz 60 vsel settings and it's still stable.

Does the costum kernels overlock the XT720 automaticly?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] appagom:
Hi all, a little new in the Motorola area. This seems like a neat trick, but... Anyway, the kernel mods look like good work (haven't read through the last couple of pages).

One point, the support for ext2, ext3, and any of the other modular changes can probably be made (and possibly even made useful) without changing the actual kernel image (flashed or otherwise). From my samsung experience, one click lag fix mounted /data without modifying the kernel by replacing the splash screen binary, which came up before data was mounted(other things used this trick too). It's not near as elegant but it may be possible to place kernel modules in /system/extramodules or whatever load them at some time like that, and then get support from then on.

This would then be something that doesn't require a PC to do. Obviously anything requiring changing the actual kernel zImage won't work.

It's not beautiful, but neither is fastboot. For korean sgs it was possible to compile kernel modules for ext4 that would run on the stock kernel.

There are some details that I'm no longer remembering well. The typical boot loop check for /data happened after this splash screen so that was ok, but it may still be necessary to have the kernel not fail to mount /data before that (Probably the partition will get reformatted if it can't be mounted). If so, one possibility may be to repartition to make a tiny fake data partition and then remount the real one, just and idea.

Sorry if I state the obvious. Just an idea to do with as you wish.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
that's a pretty good idea you should start a thread on this, i have never heard of that trick...

@FJ, all the links are dead.....

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] patejlice:
Stupid question: Would be run by FastBoot openrecovery? And to boot the kernel without the help of a PC? FastBoot would of course have to be compiled for ARM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Can someone maybe help me out here? I'm trying to recompile the kernel from Motorola's source. This is what I've done:

mkdir ~/kernel
cd ~/kernel

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/prebuilt.git
cd prebuilt
git checkout --track -b eclair origin/eclair

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/kernel/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-

cd ~/kernel
tar xf ~/motorola/kernel.tar.gz
cd ~/kernel/kernel
make sholes_skt_defconfig
make prepare
make

But I keep dying at

CC arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-sholest.o
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-sholest.c:632: error: unknown field 'reserve0' specified in initializer
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-sholest.c:1795:5: warning: "CONFIG_MMCPROBE_ENABLED" is not defined
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-sholest.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2] Error 2

Any ideas?

Also, did anyone else notice that there were uncommitted changes in Motorola's tarball? What are we supposed to do with that? Do we need to do a "git checkout STR_U2_00.1E.0" (or maybe "git checkout STR_U2_00.1E.2") or use the repository as untarred? The STR_U2_04.1E.1 used by Cincinnati Bell isn't even tagged. (An employee posted that the _04 part doesn't identify kernels so I'm probably wanting STR_U2_00.1E.1). Confusing. Does anyone even have a STR_U2_00.1F??? WTF

These are all I've ever seen in sbf's: STR_U2_01.18.2 STR_U2_01.1E.0 STR_U2_01.1E.2 STR_U2_02.1E.0 STR_U2_03.20.1 STR_U2_04.1E.1 ...

Also, looking over some of the commit logs, it looks like they disabled the TV out on audio jack on later non-SKT releases because some headsets confused the device. i.e. https://github.com/Mioze7Ae/android_kernel/commit/9638a7f382b7ac1629cfa431bd32790362e3af70 and there were some mentions earlier toggling this back and fourth https://github.com/Mioze7Ae/android_kernel/commit/e56974e43bfd84466082e7b0d14f72a406765349

Edit: Ok it looks like these are all the same:

9638a7f382b7ac1629cfa431bd32790362e3af70 refs/tags/STR_U2_00.20.1

9638a7f382b7ac1629cfa431bd32790362e3af70 refs/tags/STR_U2_00.20.0

9638a7f382b7ac1629cfa431bd32790362e3af70 refs/tags/STR_U2_00.1C.0

Which is the repository without the uncommitted modifications... sigh.

Edit2: Wow. I should read what I type. It looks like the uncommited changes rename reserve0 to atouch_drift, so that's probably where my problem is coming from... I'll revert those and see if it builds.

Edit3: Yup, removing the uncommited changes allowed the build to complete.

You kinda lost me in the first sentence, saying WP7 is pretty and sleek.

I own a few WM models, will probably buy something like a Nexus S to try shortly, I quite like the iphone 4 with it's high quality screen and fairly dense text, but iTunes and lack of being able to change things would drive me nuts.

I'm pretty much prepared to end up not liking any newer platform enough to continue buying them after what I have craps out.

WP7 has no appeal to me, like most of the population it seems

I tried both Android and WP7 and the first is way better. I don't like the UI of WP7 and I think people shouldn't pay for an OS if a better is available for free. As a developer I have to say there aren't many differences between the two platforms, but I prefer Java over C# so I think Android is the best mobile OS these days.
[Off-topic] markomarkogame:

[Off-topic] EchoVelocity:
Hmm. Android is better, in my opinion. WP7 just hasn't got the features or userbase (yet). I'm a linux user so I'm not a huge fan of Windows anyway.
[Off-topic] conantroutman:
Mind if I give my two cents on this one.......??

Ive been using both android and WP7 lately (never thought Id move on from 6.5 :eek:) and I have to say that they are both great.

Android, obviously has the customisation/open source advantages and is slightly more mature. However WP7 is so clean and tidy that it almost brings a tear to my eye :D

I'm currently trying to decide between the Desire HD and a WP7 handset for my next phone and every time I think Ive made my mind up I find a reason to reconsider.

IMO in a years time once MS gets a few updates rolled out for WP7 and the market has grown/dropped in price slightly then its going to be an absolute beast.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I think it's a very big market with more than enough room for multiple platforms to co-exist. Personally i'm an Android fan but i won't hold it against anybody for preferring W7, for instance.

The great thing about Smartphones is that there is something for everybody out there, a phone to suit every taste. That's something to celebrate!
