hi all.i made some change in the kernel.
as i find it better i propose it to all...
i made some kernel and wifi optimizations.i also add a few more tweaks...
just flash the zip in recovery in case the zip is not working ,unzip it, then  unzip your rom and replace boot.img, compress  that at best in zip format then flash your rom . (i use winrar)
please give feed back about it: wifi(speed upload and dl etc...), and all the rest...
Enjoy it!!! i forget to say it is for styx(etc...) and onyx like(cm7.2)

boot for testing purpose---------------->   http://www.modaco.co...60#entry2105084
frandom.ko  -----> http://www.mediafire...e610lh74v0hjqzy
push in system/lib/modules...and use it in conjonction with crossbreeder... http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2113150 (if you have rngd and entro in system/xbin, delete them as they would conflict with haveged) you can type in terminal   lsmod | grep frandom   to check that frandom.ko is loaded... (once crossbreeder is installed /or if you using an init.d file to insmod the module.

Hi desalesouche,
I've tried to install your new kernel, but I couldn't.

Log from Clockworkmod  Recovery v3.1.0. 1
Installing: /sdcard/optimized 2.6.32.9 kernel-u8220-8230.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.

Do you know how I can solve the problem without unzip the kernel?
I think, the problem is your update-script with my Clockworkmod version.
What version of Clockworkmod do you use?

Thanks!!

Solution:----> unzip the file...then copy boot.img on the root of your sd card   With Terminal Emulator you must type this:

su  
mount/sdcard
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img  
reboot

tell me if it works for you...and it has been said a lot of time that   Clockworkmod  Recovery v3.1.0.1 is not working good with our pulse u8220/u8230.
after that you do what you want...if you use it just because of the feature who allow to partition sd card...you can partition sd card on pc.

Ok. Thanks....I'll try this night.

[desalesouche]

hi all will soon propose performance/battery firendly kernel and performance kernel...
by the way i am waiting for frandom module hope i will get it soon, it seem to be promising...

[jgilalonso]

Installed!!! (I've had to install CWM 2.5.0.7)
Tomorrow I give you comments about new kernel.

EDIT: I need to know what governor is better for me. I'll try smartassV2.

Thanks a lot for your effort.

you welcome, i am still testing kernel and few more tweaks...but i think i will soon reach the performance limit... for the moment, until come frandom module for our pulse...

[jgilalonso]

Hi desalesouche,

My sensation with this kernel is that the power on/off is longer than usual.
What do you think?

hi all this is the link to my thread about compiling module for our 2.6.32.9 kernel....
as you can see, i am still a noob...
but i am trying very hard day after day...to improve my knowledge and find solution....
googling is not all...those who have knowledge have to not forget those who are ignorant and provide them  help and information...
often one who know how to read forget how difficult it was to learn...
voilà, c'est la vie!
any help apreciated...
my projects for the moment=compile frandom module..../enable ksm in kernel...

Edited by desalesouche, 12 February 2013 - 10:21 PM.

[desalesouche]

hi all.i managed to enable ksm in 2.6.32.9 kernel.
ksm should help a lot to improve memory and performance...>   http://www.linux-kvm...age-merging-kvm
it would also help for cyanmobile 2.3.8 experience who ask for ksm enabled...will upload boot.img soon...

more information---->   http://kernelnewbies...efce73f52660ccb

[jgilalonso]

Great!!! You're un crack!!

Does this boot.img work with any ROM?
While wi-fi doesn't work in cyanmobile I will not install that ROM,

yeah this actual boot.img is working with any rom.but wait a moment so i upload the new one which would be more compatible with cyanmobile 2.3.8 2013 who have the need of ksm anabled....you can set ksm in cyansettings...

[desalesouche]

kernel updated   ksm enabled          /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs 3500
                                                         /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan 512

[desalesouche]

try it.if it is not working.you might have to replace ramdisk from styx boot.img  
by the way i will edit an init.d script to run ksm...
but  would advise to wait cos ksm are not corretcely working....
i have reboot...
edit:still working kernel...
