Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Now that the kernel source is live (see here), I thought i'd start playing with custom kernels... so here's MCK r1! It is the boot image and flash_image binary in a zip (extract, push to your device, then do './flash_image boot boot.img') - it's a first-shot, i'll include in MCR going forward to make things easier. :lol: Features include...Uses the ondemand governor as default instead of performance - this will HUGELY improve battery life with no noticeable performance lossOptional interactive schedulerTUN supportCIFS supportNFS supportFUSE supportEXT4 support r2 refresh DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: e08101929e4f406941bc06f8117dbf7aEnjoy!

Guest MonkeyBoy451 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Link now fixy. :lol: P Thanks. Will have a play shortly. :)
Guest newbe5 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 [*]Uses the ondemand governor as default instead of performance - this will HUGELY improve battery life with no noticeable performance loss This, does this mean that it will increase performance without battery loss, or increase battery without performance loss? Thanks a LOT for this Paul! Fast work!
Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Haha, great typo by me! :lol: Yes, it should dramatically improve battery life. P
Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Hmmm, 1.08 stock with MCK (before performance pack) gives 2313 on Quadrant. Decent! P
Guest zzleezz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 This is a great day, Murray in the final and not only kernel source released but Paul directly involved in the process! No wonder he has been keeping quiet on the subject :) Very excited to see what comes from the next few days/weeks/months. Off to backup, download and tinker :lol:
Guest Sir Gash Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Awesome! CIFS and a new governor! Great work Paul!
Guest Melted Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Excuse my lack of knowlege and understanding of english It is the boot image and flash_image binary in a zip (extract, push to your device, then do './flash_image boot boot.img') - it's a first-shot, i'll include in MCR going forward to make things easier. :lol: is this suposed to be done with the Clockwork mod? I'm on 1.06, I'm suposed to upgrade first to 1.08, install clockwork and, in recovery, flash this somehow? If someone could make a noobs installing guide would be really apreciated...

I'm on 1.06, I'm suposed to upgrade first to 1.08, install clockwork and, in recovery, flash this somehow? If someone could make a noobs installing guide would be really apreciated... No - not with clockwork. I just copied the 2 files into my android-sdk/tools folder that contains the adb.exe and ran the following from a cmd prompt: adb push boot.img /data/local/ adb push flash_image /data/local/ adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/flash_image adb shell /data/local/flash_image boot /data/local/boot.img Edit: I should also say that my Vega is updated with the 1.0.8 firmware and running r6 MCR (without Performance Pack) Edited January 28, 2011 by MonkeyBoy451
Guest Melted Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks MonkeyBoy451, very much appreciated. I'll try it later on my wife's pc (win xp) as on my win7 64 it doesn't want to recognize the drivers...
Guest rferrett Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Sorry probably being super dim here but erm... what is this. Does it replace the vega official firmware?
Guest MonkeyBoy451 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 @Paul Have flashed the new r2 boot image and now the table is stuck in Black Screen of Death! :lol:
Guest Lennyuk Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 @Paul Have flashed the new r2 boot image and now the table is stuck in Black Screen of Death! :lol: its a dead link for me~?
Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 its a dead link for me~? Just fixed the link. So I dunno what MonkeyBoy flashed but it wasn't r2! P
Guest huwwatkins Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 What are the chances of of 3G support now that the srouce is available? Cheers
Guest Lennyuk Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Just fixed the link. So I dunno what MonkeyBoy flashed but it wasn't r2! P actually I just flashed r2 as well I deleted "0nline" off the end of the link it gave me then it downloaded.
Guest deadite66 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Just fixed the link. So I dunno what MonkeyBoy flashed but it wasn't r2! P probably did the same as me, removed the offline part of the link and kept inputting answer to the capcha until it gave me a file. Edited January 28, 2011 by deadite66
Guest Lennyuk Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) SetCpu force closes, so I installed "CPU Tuner" and its telling me I am on performance governor and not allowed to change it. Edited January 28, 2011 by Lennyuk
Guest MonkeyBoy451 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Just fixed the link. So I dunno what MonkeyBoy flashed but it wasn't r2! P Yeah not sure what happened there - just re-flashed stock 1.0.8 and then the r2 MCK and it appears to be ok now - Wifi is working fine. Now to add MCR r6 back to it along with CWM and make a nandroid backup! Thanks Paul. ;) Edit 1: Quadrant 1.15 score is: 2370 - thats on stock 1.0.8 + r2 MCK Edit 2: Quadrant 1.15 score is: 2281 - thats on 1.0.8 + r2 MCK + r6 MCR (without PP) Edited January 28, 2011 by MonkeyBoy451
Guest newbe5 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Will this work on 1.06.5 or do you need to be running 1.08?
Guest Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Should work on 1.06.5 too I think? Not sure tho. P
Guest newbe5 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Should work on 1.06.5 too I think? Not sure tho. P OK thanks ;) I would prefer to stay on 1.06.5 for now as I've heard stories of lag etc with 1.08 (quadrant seems to get good scores, but actual in-use speed isn't great apparently). I will probably move to 1.08 once you release a performance pack geared specifically for it ;) Edited January 28, 2011 by newbe5
Guest Lennyuk Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Higgsy 1.08 + this kernel Quadrant = 2300
