[Q] Atrix 4g kernel choices? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New to xda, have a rooted, unlocked 2.3.4 ATT atrix.
I'm running faux123's kernel, just wondering what other kernel choices are out there, for over-clocking, etc.
Ty

If I am not wrong so far are 3:
Fau123's: Actually is the one I am using fast & stable, just the bug of the battery after install that need to re calibrate after been install (easy fix)
Edgan: Stable & conservative Nice to give a try
Kholk: Last thing I read, he trow the towel until Motorola release the source of GB code due to a bug in the WIFI module

Is the kernel source only released for moto 2.2 right now?

Yes.
The gb kernel is not officially released.
It's source code will be released after the official release of gb I think..

Ty, I have noticed faux123 to be pretty stable also. Possibly will try edgan's tonight.

So how ironic. All this time the 2.2 kernel source has been available, but nobody could compile their own kernel cause with a locked boot loader it couldn't be flashed. Now that we have unlock, everybody is on 2.3.4 so nobody wants a 2.2 custom kernel.
Has anybody tried making a custom 2.2 kernel and flashing it to a 2.2 ROM now that its possible? I'd imagine the kernel will have lots of similar code between the two...

I think the reason the answer is NO because you will loose some proprietary hardware, that I don't think so Motorola will release those codes (aka fingerprint reader)

Problems after ELITE OC

i have wet dream 1.4.4 and i flashed with elite 1.4ghz over the current 1.45ghz now the phone freezes alot, reboot loops.. how can i revert that ?
Flash fuax123s 1.45 OC unified kearnel easily be found in the ATRIX 4g development page

thanks does this mean its not compatible or i cant go higher or what?
There are 1.6GHz overclocks out there right now so it isn't an issue of speed, but it may have just been a bad flash or there could be something else with the build you are using and the kernel's problems are un-related.
I wouldn't worry, but just flash a new kernel and give it a go. You can always go back.

The problem is that is wasn't compatible WD is a AT&T build so use faux123 kernels and the elite that you were flashing is for cm7 builds this is a problem btwn AT&T and international for example I own international and to use old WD I had to either flash a unified kernel or use the "Ramfix" b4 it would run on mine but feel free to play around with it maybe try using the elite with the "Ramfix" let me know if that works just keep a backup of the working kernel so you can always go back and you'll be fine gl

Many phones just can't handle that much of an OC. Read the Faux or Clemsyn kernel threads and you will see this. Very few people have been able to run the higher OC kernels because like a PC, all hardware is not the same. If you experience boot loops, freezes, etc., you need to flash a lower clocked kernel.
And yes, make sure you flash one which is compatible.

Stock ics kernel

Is there anyway we can take the stock ics kernel (linux 3.0) and overclock it to 1.5ghz? Or is the kernel source needed for that

Short answer is no.
There is a longer answer of yes, although I'm not qualified or experienced enough to give it.
And yes, I think you need the source to do it.

Overclock for official ICS

The ICS update was released in 2 different countries according to the development forums so I decided to put the firmware on my US Galaxy Tab 10.1. I saw that there was a way to root it already, but once I got it rooted, I found no way to overclock, so does anyone know if there is an overclockable kernel for the official ICS? Does Pershoot have any? Thanks
Hi,
same issue here.
The ICS Kernel from Pershoot is for CM9/10 only and won't work with official ICS from samsung (tried it, no WiFi and Auto Brightness isn't working)
Anyone?
-ThyMaster
Tapa talk is going crazy for me lol.
Basically a custom kernel for the current Official ICS release cannot be made until Samsung release the source code for it. Which they have not done yet.
Once they do, devs like pershoot, will be able to create custom kernels like those currently available for the honeycomb release.

Hm,
Kernel sources have been released, any one found a OC 3.x kernel so far?

Yes I got one oc kernel build by myself.
Runs fine at 1.2 Ghz but when I clock higher it run into boot loops.
Working for three days on it and I cant seem to figure it out.
I didnt have this problem with the old source code.
Building my own kernels for 6 months now.
My 3.1.10 kernel has bfq scheduler and voodoo sound support and runs at 1.2 Ghz.
I dont make my kernels public because I dont have time to answer noob questions.
But if you interested I could upload the kernel to this threath.

Linux kernel 3.x not in ics why?

i was expecting the ics releases to have the 3.x Linux kernels but they do not seem to have it. can anyone tell me is it because of htc or does the tbolt not support the kernel...
The leaked ics rom has a 3x kernel. Our aosp doesn't have a 3x kernerl because we don't have ics source for the kernel yet.

This confused me and still does. I thought each Android release went hand-in-hand with a certain kernel version (or higher).
Eclair = Linux kernel 2.6.29
Froyo = 2.6.32
Gingerbread = 2.6.35
Ice Cream Sandwich = 3.0.1
Jelly Bean = 3.1.10
I put the x because I wasn't sure of the exact numbers after the three.

I understand, but my point was, the AOSP ICS leak is using a 2.6.35 kernel. I would think that makes this a Gingerbread ROM, not an ICS one. I've asked about this in Liquid's thread but got no responses...

No it is ics framework and system UI. The gb kernel was modified to work with ics. The most important part of the kernel that changed from gb to ics was the ramdisk.

Would using the GB kernel be causing some of the display and camera weirdness that folks are calling 'driver' issues on and off? It's awesome that they even got it working at all, let alone as well as it does.

That is exactly the reason for the issues with the camera and some of the graphical issues

After root*

Hey guyz...
I just rooted my s5 2.3.3 407 olleh rom
Now I am wondering what all I can do with it...
Can any1 suggest me some nice tweaks or apps..
Also can any one tell me how can I overclock... Cuz setcpu has the highest limit to 998 ........ How can it be 1500 or something like that

Root is the most powerful aspect to being able to get the most from any device.
It unlocks access to the root of the filesystem, so you can change almost anything. Also root is essential to get more functionality from your device, a lot of software requires root access to work.
In your case, try a new kernel, i am sure you will be able to overclock using Pheonix kernel for example.
To be honest, why not install a custom rom?
Everything is done for you, and kept up to date with bug fixes.
If you like the rom you have, my recommendation is the DSC rom as it is an excellent rom.

M planning to flash dsc on my stock rom
With stock kernel
Will my fone b able to overclock then or I still have to flash different kernel.?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
If you want to be able to overclock and undervolt the processor, you need to install the Phoenix kernel as the stock Gingerbread kernel does not support either operation. You WANT to install the Phoenix kernel anyway as it has fixes above and beyond overclocking that aren't found in the 407 kernel. If you're coming from Froyo (Android 2.2.x), you cannot use a Froyo kernel with a Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ROM, unless of course you want to render the device unusable until corrected.
I had stock froyo
Then I updated my rom to official olleh one...without changing the kernel
Nd its working cool

When you change ROMs using official Dell packages, all the components are supposed to be updated to match the ROM. This is to minimize incompatibility. Therefore, when you upgraded to 407, the baseband, recovery, and the kernel should have been upgraded at the same time as the ROM itself.
In this case, you happen to be one of those for whom the kernel wasn't upgraded. And while the Froyo kernel on Gingerbread seems to work, the combination cannot be as stable or as functional as having a Gingerbread kernel with a Gingerbread ROM. The point however should be moot now as you've installed either DSC or Traveller DSC, both of which have the Phoenix kernel.
yeah now my streak has dsc
with pheonix kernel

I am still learning here, a newbie. Please apologize me for my lack of knowledge.
When I first started, I read quite a number of forum until I got quite confused, but has opted a choice. After numerous attempt, I managed to flash my DS5 with Longhorn 2.9.3 using CWM. What I found out was my Baseband(BB is what they call it, am I correct?) was still 347, which later I read somewhere here, I need to have BB407 instead. Was struggling to get 407 installed, but finally manage a solution.
But I still have not really understood what refers to a Kernal, and a Baseband. What they use for, etc...
Can someone please help to explain. Thanks.
My DS5 About phone look like this now. I am wondering if the part, second from below on the picture, is a problem = "MOD VERSION : UNKNOWN:
Can anyone comment on that? Thanks.
And also, I still can't overclock my DS5 using this ROM, max still at 998. I have tried SetCPU and Antutu CPU Master, and I read many forums to find out how, but none seems to work. Have I missed a step on installation or...? Can anyone help on this? Thanks.
BTW, I might decide to try DSCv2.3 (perhaps starts off with DSCv1.0, before upgrading) or Streak MIUI 2.4.20.
Any advice on those? Thanks.
XDA Developers - Kernel & Baseband Difference
The search engine is your friend. Learn how to use it please. In the meantime, I recommend either DSC or Traveller DSC. Read the instructions in the first posts of each thread and you should be good.
Thanks you for the encouragement, suggestions and instruction.
use dsc 2.3
it has rooted rom with phoenix kernel wilhich would allow you to overclock your device using any app :thumbup:
