The nexus s uses the same processor?
I still don't know why
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Newer batch of processors? Building Materials? Android 2.3? The fact that their kernel is available?
Could be anything really.
Its the fact that source code is available for nexus users and devs to modify to make better performing overclock kernels, once we get the source code for the Vibrant's 2.2 kernels we will see much improved overclock kernels

Lets say we get an unlocked bootloader . . . What can we do to the phone? What kind of updates in the future will our phone beable to get? Will we get better drivers for the things our phone has?
See I posted something similar but while 200 people looked at it nobody had a reply.
The new moto phones all have locked bootloaders, now while this sucks it doesn't hinder the device too much.
On the motorola defy they have deblurred roms as well as a fully working htc sense port.
They use nandroid restores as a way of flashing roms.
I don't see a valid reason something similar can't be done here.

Obviously you'd probably get the basic benefits of most phones, but I don't think you'll really get much of an answer until it actually happens.
i think the benefit would be to be install customs kernel, and roms like cyanogen with most recent andoird updates...
Custom kernals allow for overclocking and undervolting, as well as performance and battery saving cpu governers.
A full recovery flash means if you f***ed up, you can do a nand restore without having to sbf restore.
Also it allows for a complete ripout of the phones system and files and replacing them with another, usually a port of another rom or Cm7.
I would love sense or cm7.

A custom Kernel is Not necessary for overclocking, you can also overclock and undervolt without it. And we also have CM7 Sitz 2nd init like on The milestone.

We can't use milestone overclock because we don't have the msm processor, we have to have a custom kernal that allows for greater frequencies

Oh, okay, I didn't know that.
I saw a small video regarding one of the developers talking about Linaro....will it be used on the S3. Merged in to CM9 builds perhaps when they arrive on the S3...?

i was wondering almost the same thing: will it allow the devs to develop smaller code? as speed is not an issue...
Looks interesting

I want to try to compile it with Linaro but there's some porting to the code to be done, right now it's not working on the newer toolchains.
I thought it was more than just the kernel, like the aosp libs source were modified to be able to be built with Linaro. Then those changes get merged into CM, which can then be built with Linaro, and hopefully we all get to use it

The best of luck Andrei. Really hope you get It to work.
If you do get it working, you will have an immensely popular and cutting edge kernel.

hello there
my qustion is, if it will be an option to overclock our phones on any ics rom ?
because on gingerbread, with the right kernel, it was possible, so I thought and asked myself why it is not possible to overclock it now on new ics roms....
I dont know much about what you must do and mod to enable overclocking in kernels...so dont be afraid or angry when seeing this..
is this because htc is not offering the source code of the new kernel? (btw is this legal? thought that the linux kernel is on gnu licence...)
anyway, was there ever a source code of the gingerbread kernels ? is this the main problem when devs trying to mod something advanced like overclocking possibility?
I've liked my phone on gingerbread overclocked, it was really fast (not the launcher, now it's rendered on gpu as everybody knows..)
and battery also was no problem.......
it would be nice if someone could write a good statement and a good info of what must be done to enable it, because I want to learn also something new..

It probably will be able to be over clocked. Im not an evo user myself but the same thing almost apllies for all phones. I cant give you a big explanation because im noob still but i can tell you something. Overclocking is going to be different in ics because ics has more features meaning more speed. So kernal makers will have to try to make it more ram efficent. Or stop un needed things when ever your not using them. Then it will stay fast without ics kicking in with its slowness at times. Right now thats all i can say. Its 01:00 here and i cant think so i might edit this some other time.

Overclocking was made possible on gingerbread roms when HTC released kernel sources and thus the developers was able to edit the kernel sources to allow for higher CPU speeds, then build the kernel and release it to us.
The same thing will happen when they release kernel sources for ICS (Or it might even be Jelly Bean by that time, who knows).

there are several kernels for gsm and a few for cdma that allow for this
The kernel source code for the GSM EVO 3D and CDMA i believe was released around a month ago so overclock is there! on the kernel i use not throwing any names i can overclock to 1.8 GHZ !

So it is a ics kernel? I think you're not right, if there showed up a way to overclock on ics, it would stand on the xda homepage and also in some threads but there is not such headline or thread....
Btw, sorry for my english, I'm from germany/poland and have not good grades in english at my school (btw I must do something against it, have just one year before going to university... )

yea, so totally not true. check your pm's!!!
We can not talk about a certain kernel, its disallowed on xda considered warez

Just curious how much this will actually effect ROM development? I know we have a few custom kernels which make some things better and some worse. So having source I assume will make a more solid kernel. Is it different between ICS and JB?

New kernels, cm9 and cm10 will be loads less buggy, the list goes on for a while

Without source, a kernel creator can use their skills to cobble together a kernel, but it's next to impossible. The current crop of CDMA kernels were created by taking the GSM source code and adjusting it. Some were more successful than others. Now that the CDMA source had dropped, kernel makers can use it as a foundation to add features.

are there any linaro optimized cm9 roms for s3?
Linaro is for kernels... Its a tool chain used to compile kernels. Nothing to do with a ROM. Why are you still on CM9? Developments done...

i need ics, and i heard that linaro output perfomance is greater..
i just dont know much about these toolchains..
Omg... You have the chance of SDS on CM9. linaro hardly made any difference performance wise. So just update to CM10.1 There isn't much of a noticeable difference if any at all.
dont freak out, ALRIGHT
he's trying to help you
You're on ICS, SDS very likely to happen.
What do you need ICS for?

Your call.
At least use the emmc brick bug app to find out if you're affected. At least make an educated decision
