New Kernel for SS [gen2] gets rid of angry birds lag

[Guest unrandomsam]

This is the kernel from the latest softbank 2.2 rom.

fixed up to work with the SS initramfs

(all I have done is extract the kernel and initramfs from both - unlzma the initramfs and put it back together with mkbootimg)

flash it with fastboot

[Guest hecatae]

and from terminal emulator:

su

cd sdcard

flash_image boot boot.img

[Guest Shadow_2k]

Confirmed working, also speeds up Fruit Ninja quite a bit. Thanks for putting this together. :)

Can you compile a version for Gen1 phones?

I don't think so. The OP just extracted the binary from the Softbank update. Would be interesting to know what ZTE changed though.

config.zip

attached config.gz zipped up in a .zip if it might help

Thanks. It will help a little but ideally we need newer kernel source from ZTE too.

hi. noob here.

I'll be getting my SF in Friday. it will be my first Android phone.

I plan on putting SS (Swedish Spring), and Angry Birds will be a very important ingredient :)

will this be something safe for me to mess with? or should I wait until it's incorporated with Swedish Spring or one ROM or another?

Read the stickies at the first page.

I've read them about 15 times now.

I was asking if THIS specific kernel flash is something safe for me to mess with? or should I wait until it's incorporated with Swedish Spring?

safe if you have a gen2 blade and are using swedish spring

[Guest ahngau]

Thanks OP.

Warning: the kernel does not support ext4. If you are using ext4, you have to backup, reformat to ext3, copy back the content, then use "a2sd reinstall".

no overclock either

[Guest ahngau]

no overclock either

Oh yes, let's patiently wait for the ZTE source then. Hope they come to their senses and realize one of the reasons that the Blade is so popular is the strong community following.

i think a mass polite email is in order

[Guest domdom43]

did someone made a benchmark old kernel VS new kernel with quadrant for exemple?

Yeah, ZTE are a little too much neglectful about the sources...

[Guest fradleyp]

thanks, now my GPS doesn't work

any ideas?

[Guest iKrautDroid]

You think ZTE is bad? Look at huawei!

It's not about the community following, it's a legal requirement for using a modified Linux kernel.

I can't see much difference. Angry birds are still far from being smooth with this kernel.
