Guest tilal6991 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 If it's really 3.X, then it should work on ICS with no problem, shouldn't it? If it is then yes. And it should be easy to get it up to 3.3 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 He should release his sources though as the kernel is GPLed and not Apache like android is. I'll ask him as well since I know him on GitHub etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sulthekk Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 His github doesnt have it uploaded but its there alright.. https://github.com/Squadzone/samsung-kernel-port-to-Blade That's 3.0.8 and it's still purely samsung, it has no blade specific changes.

Guest Geree Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 With Squadzone's ROM I really have significant improvement in 3D..almost 200 points more in AnTuTu. Used to have 1400ish...now 1624. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geree Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is that compared to Cm7 with the new Adreno drivers or the old? Good question...I don't think if I ever used the new Adreno libs...so last time when I ran this benchmark it was probably without those.. So in that case those can be also :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Benchmarks pretty much the same as CM7.2 with the new libs for me. :) It sure does have a ton of options though! Edited April 4, 2012 by targetbsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about benchmarks but game performance has improved a lot plus that was the fastest I've seen adw run on any rom .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Due to lack of battery I only tried one and it was the same as the new drivers used on CM7 for me. I'll play some more tomorrow so what game(s) are we talking about? Are you comparing with the new Adreno drivers? They are much better at 3d and aren't included in CM7 as standard.

Guest k.d.11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm comparing to burstlams latest release as well as cm7 let me give you a bit more detail When you're playing zombie dash 2d so adreno libs out of the picture after the 3 rd level when many zombies start coming in or spawning on most other roms it starts lagging a lot but on this nothing! In gt racing on other roms whenever you bump into a car in the beginning or something it starts lagging but in this it doesn't.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sej7278 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have tried that kernel on sejs latest build, but phone just doesn't sleep. Also it has been compiled on 1st of April, so maybe it's just a renamed .35 based on the new blade source... Although on his github can be seen that he started to port kernel 3.0.8 from aries, but still there are no blade specific commits. tilal, I have extracted the kernel, as it's faster to download than a full rom if you wanna a have a look at it, but I don't think it's really 3.X its got the new adreno libs in it - i wonder where the other proprietary stuff like wifi came from as its not zte. the defconfig isn't different enough from 2.6.35 to be a 3.0.2.3 kernel, its certainly a lot different to another arm 3.0.2 defconfig i've seen. hopefully i'm wrong, and we'll see the sourcecode....

Guest k.d.11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Didn't tilal confirm its 3. X? Is that not enough to be sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Didn't tilal confirm its 3. X? Is that not enough to be sure? But he has said of himself on more than one occasion that he isn't a kernel dev so... His own words, not mine. I have the utmost respect for his work on his awesome Coldfusion. :) What's confusing me is that what I understand ought to be a significant milestone if true, no-one is making any fuss about it outside of this thread? I can't see that the dev himself has even mentioned it? Beyond the words 'new kernel' I'm not saying it isn't, I wouldn't have a clue. I'm just going to refrain from getting too excited until tilal has had his chat with the dev kernel wise. And performance wise, until I've seen an improvement myself.

Guest k.d.11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN THINKING! but the Dev doesn't make a big fuss of anything so we still don't know..btw the music thing on the status bar is like ics..kinda.. have you tried running music and opening the status bar?

Guest sej7278 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Didn't tilal confirm its 3. X? Is that not enough to be sure? the kgsl-3d0 libs are nothing to do with 3.0 kernel, its just the new adreno libs. at most he's backported the patches to get accelerated 3d working from ics.

Guest k.d.11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh okay...thanks for clearing that up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I agree completely. There isn't definitive proof either way. And targetbsp is right. I'm not a kernel dev. He could have back ported the kgsl but why? There's no benefit to it on cm7. And he's not working on cm9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I've not had much chance to play with it beyond restoring all my apps and setting up my launcher before my battery was out. I've got to hand it to him on that front though. It has an absolute ton of options and features. It's kinda to CM7 what CM7 is to stock. :D As you said, the stock ADW did seem smooth but I've not tried it in CM7 normal for a long time so I dunno how it compares in newer standard versions, with better governors and the new adreno libs etc. I know it used to suck in the early days. The game I tried is Domino Run which isn't especially smooth in CM7 (though it's not the kind of game it matters in) and also wasn't in this rom. Oddly it was always smooth in GSF.

Guest k.d.11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Plus he's created a github repo saying 3.0 backported to blade so why would he do that too unless it was 3.x guess well wait till he uploads Yeah domino run lags a lot borders on unplayable..but I've never tried it on gsf so..I don't know Edited April 4, 2012 by k.d.11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingpair Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Adw seems smoother because he's changed the default homescreen swipe settings. I find no real difference tbh. Sleep issues still persist. Angry birds lags in the same places as the older cm7. But those settings! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
