i manage to compile frandom.ko.   have to check if everything is working fine...

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2113150

This module is orders of magnitude (10-50 times) faster than the standard character devices ( Check this out - http://forum.xda-dev....&postcount=134 ). The erandom character device also installed by Frandom doesn't use up system entropy at all on top of being fast. You will need to ask your ROM developer to develop the kernel module for you and then place it in /system/lib/modules. CrossBreeder will then try and load it and if successful, make all the necessary adjustments so that both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are pointing to /dev/frandom and /dev/erandom respectively. The speed benefits are to be seen to be believed. But since each ROM requires a unique kernel module, this option is left optional ( but auto detect )

on cyanx2.3.8 2013 wifi is not working.i couldn't make it work..one can try to fix it. all wifi files are in system/wifi  or if you check wifi from cm7 by cyanogenmod , in system/etc/firmware with one module in system/lib/module.
for the moment i am concentrating on ksm which give me reboot once running...and on frandom.

Hi Desalesouche,
I'm using the CM7 nightly versions from CM site, the last one dated is Feb 1st, 2013 but it is based on kernel 2.6.29. The question is, could I apply the new 2.6.32 optmized kernel over the previous one?
I will appreciate your suggestions
Thanks!

yes  you can apply it but you will have to make some change...cos wifi wouldn't work .and you would have to check about libs/module
if you open zip from last cm7 update and you open zip from my last cm7 you can compare and make the necessary change...
try it!

[desalesouche]

ksm seem to be stabilized(?)no more reboot. frandom module is loading fine with appropriate script.
but i have to test it more as i am  willing to make it work with crossbreeder. so i am giving feed back to crossbreeder thread to set it correctely cos wifi is working but impossible to surf with browser.
i will try also to see in another version with seeder would be ok.
will upload new boot /module and scripts(2). in a few hours now . for testing purpose.
hope i will have more feed back than usually...

Will you try the system/wifi for me? since i didnt get the cyanx 2013 rom. if it works,
Y FEEL LIKE:
OOOOH SOMETIMES!! I GOOT A GOOD FEELING!! YEAHH!!!!

wifi is working on all rom by me except cyanmobile xperience 2.3.8 2013

[pCasto]

i will take the wifi libs and the system/wifi from cyanmobile 2.3.7 and init.d

added frandom.ko link

[jgilalonso]

Hi desalesouche,

I can't find the frandom.ko module in mediafire. Is your link ok?
Can you check it?

Are you erased the kernel link? I only see a link to download the frandom module.
Where is the link to download your optimized kernel?

Sorry for the lot of questions.
I think you have to update the first post with updated instructions.

Thanks

i corrected link to frandom module.you can already use it  with your 2.6.32.9 kernel...and crossbreeder.follow how to from first post...
as for the kernel i am going to upload one with new feature and some fix...i hope  
here is list of feature for the moment...
linaro optimization added/omzoom_hsmmc set disabled to get agressive power saving(in test)
config_kallsyms_extra_pass=y
light undervolt of display and cam , etc   (before 2800000 now 2700000/.....)
and as before ksm=y and some more tweaks.

[desalesouche]

updated kernel

[jgilalonso]

Hi desalesouche,

This kernel that you've uploaded.... which benefits it has vs the February 18?
I notice that you changed mzoom_hsmmc and light undervolt of display parameters.
Why?
Has you found errors?

Thanks for your work

hi.i am new in kernel.i am doing test to see if things are better...
your question are answered in changelog in post1...
i revert zoom to original cos it seems to me that device was less reactive.
i revert light tweak cos i was not sure about the good place where to make change...
so  i was doubting... i reverted
in19 nfts enabled?

Edited by desalesouche, 19 February 2013 - 05:06 PM.

[desalesouche]

changelog kernel 20-02-2013=
mmc longer limit in mmc_set_data
read ahead =512
config nfts=y
linaro optimization
introduce, newjhash implementation  ---->   http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Hash_table
arm:SP in lock:use ticket algorithm for armv6+locking implementation
arm/crypt:add optimized aes and sha1 routines

checking that all is ok then i will upload new boot.img..

Hi desalesouche,

Have you checked if your mobile (with your kernel) remains in deep sleep?
In my phone battery drains faster than before.
I don't know if the battery is beginning to fail or is by other reasons.

Today, I've installed BBS (BetterBatteryStats), an application that would allow check which apps are draining the battery.
What I've seen that the kernel never stay in a deep sleep status. Always is awake.

This can be a problem because my battery life is very short.
Can you check this in your phone?

Thanks

i observe the same kernel drain...i have to check what is causing this...
will install bbs .if you have any clue?
thanks for feed back.cos if i can stop battery drain i have a lot new feature added.
but would be better to stop battery drain.before

[desalesouche]

cpuspy is showing that deepsleep is ok...
edit:i made some new update in kernel.but i still don't know what is causing battery drain...so i reverted some things.but may be battery drain is from destructOr original kernel? so my changes are not causes?
i might be wrong but the intuition/idea i have is that is coming from mobile network settings/network preferences...
if i set to gsm only it seems to drain and if i set on gsm/wcda(wcdma preferred) battery drain is normal... might be coming also from 2g or3g
will check that.
what else positive or negative (except battery drain)...???

edit2:i manage to make some port from 2.6.35  into 2.6.32.9

new=  arm:sp in lock:use ticket algorithm for armv6+locking implementation
   arm/crypto: add optimized aes and sha1 routines
   cryptohash=remove legacy hash/digest code
   ashmem from 2.6.35
   patch=introduce this cpu_ptr and generic this cpu   ?
   from 3.x mmc/omap.hsmm c:pass on the suspend failure to the pm core
   omapzoom:nooz.sched:don't go tickless
revert read ahead   revert nfts   /  revert kallsyms extra pass
