looks like t-mobile have released the 2.1 source at last

[Guest starkos]

Not really. Just unpack the boot.img and replace the kernel with the new one you compiled.

Yea but that means having to download your whole rom to just get the boot.img & doing it all over again, seems a bit pointless as you will obviously have it on your computer?

WiFi works

FLB 2.6.29 kernel test for A2SD users (and non-A2SD users)

Added: Swap, EXT3 support.

Compcache will come in the next update as soon as I figure it out :lol:

2.6.29-flb.zip for rom with A2SD installed

2.6.29-flb_noa2sd.zip for rom with no A2SD

The kernel will work with any custom 2.1 ROM based on the official T-Mobile UK ROM. This includes Community Custom ROM, FLB-MOD 1.5

The ZIP should be flashed through recovery. It is a replacement boot.img containing the new kernel and is rooted.

How to enable swap

If you have a swap partition on your SD card then Darktremor A2SD will automatically start swap on boot.

If you do not have a swap partition then you can either re-partition the SD card and add one (this will delete everything on the SD card) or use Swapper2 from the Android Market. It creates a swapfile on your SD card.

Please consider this kernel a test.

So will it work on the T-MoUK comunity rom?

So I could delete what I posted there. :lol:

SORRY

Need to learn how to read!

Sorry again.

Yeah it should work fine. Any rom that is based on FLB-1.5, or any rom based on the UK 2.1 rom.

:lol: you think you have it bad? I'm got too much reading to do. Must learn how to add compcache... it's not easy

The thing is I have an exam about SQL in 9 oclock

haven't slept for 39 hours

Will not sleep for 2 more days (more exams to come)

And I'm excited about this thing here.

So I think I'm close enough.

The ZIP should be flashed through recovery. It is a replacement boot.img containing the new kernel and is rooted. Users of the stock 2.1 UK ROM can use this to add swap support and root.

How to enable swap

If you have a swap partition on your SD card then Darktremor A2SD will automatically start swap on boot.

If you do not have a swap partition then you can either re-partition the SD card and add one (this will delete everything on the SD card) or use Swapper2 from the Android Market. Swapper2 can be used by roms without A2SD installed. It created a swapfile on your SD card.

Please consider this kernel a test. There may be some unknown issues with it at this stage.

wifi is unable to start with this flashed :)

[Guest Simon O]

wifi is unable to start with this flashed :lol:

What ROM are you using?

[Guest tomdubs]

What ROM are you using?

flb mod i think 1.41

[Guest Krinyo]

Swap working, but I have wifi problem too. Flb1.5 after Tre.

Phone is faster now. I feeel it. :lol: Cooool.

Opera is flying, I have 128 MB swap partition.

Edited September 14, 2010 by Krinyo

[Guest tomdubs]

oh yeah definately nicer to use apart from the wifi :lol:

Logcat says its because it cant load the wifi driver if that helps

Seems to be stuck on android screen. i'm in stock UK 2.1 set swap on 32MB.

Gonna try and wipe.

[Guest Simon O]

The WiFi issue is oddly familiar. I remember Paul having this issue when he compiled the .27 kernel.

I'll install FLB-Mod and check the wifi error out. If possible I'll get a fix for it.

Nope, wiping didn't help. Trying with FLB now

[Guest Simon O]

Meanwhile, whilst I work on the wifi issue, if anybody is interested I've uploaded the kernel code to github. This is the original untouched code.

I know why... it's trying to launch A2SD which won't be in your rom... I forgot all about that :lol:

No worries. I've got backup :lol:

hopefully the same fix applies

Working like a charm...

[Guest Tom G]

I believe ext3/4 have journalling where as ext2 does not? I used a swap partition, & I reckon 96mb would be overkill and may actually do more harm than good as the system will probably slow down with too much in swap

Journalling file systems are bad for solid state media (the journal area has high activity (lots of writes) so effects the life of the media). You are better off sticking to ext2. Realistically with ext3/4 it will still last years.

It's only affecting 2.1 users. 2.2 works fine.

[Guest ogiogi]

18 running processes and 20 MB free. Good enough for me :lol:

Simply don't start. Nothing else.

is it possible what i posted before is the reason?

[Guest Simon O]

It seems to be. I need to boot into Linux now and compile the fixed kernel. Fingers crossed.
