This is a repackaging of DooMLoRD's kernel for the Ray - this is only for the stock Rom at this time, and will not work on MIUI or CM.
It's based on DooMLoRD's Github sources, original thread with more information about the Kernel is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172885 - all thanks should go to him, I've edited very little, simply changed some of the config to suit the Ray and tested it.
Brief summary:
* Overclockable to 2GHz (set at 1GHz to start - made sure of it this time!)
* Enabled most of the schedulers so you can choose your favourite (brazillianwax, smoothass, SavagedZen, interactiveX, lagfree, minmax, Scary, smartass, interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, smartassV2, performance).
[UPDATE]
Had a look at the issues with the 'Flash' on the camera not working - this is now fixed.
Also, after being requested by a couple of people I've recompiled it for MIUI - you'll have to flash the second version for it to boot. (Please choose the correct one, flashing the wrong one will let you access CWM-recovery, but the system won't boot.) MIUI isn't working at this time.
Updated Kernel can be found here for Stock Roms:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17615284/DoomKernel-2011-12-28-1201.img
[Edit] Kernel for MIUI booted, but became unresponsive after it's been on a while. Taken the link down until I can find a day or two where I'm not using my phone so I can flash MIUI myself and look into it.
Thank you very much for this good present !
I just would ask if it is compatible with bheremans' MIUI rom, and if it's not if someone can port it, or explain to me how it can be done.

Think I may have missed a few - shall go back and check when I get a chance.
* Can't remember if I managed to get it working with the latest Ramdisk or not. At one point I was using it with a previous Ramdisk but not sure if I eventually got it working... (Currently the CMW Recovery is version 5.0.2.7?) I'll have to check on this, if it's using an old RamDisk then some of the features may not be available.
Initial release - I've been using it for a day now and it seems quite stable.

Can you integrate in the kernel the dual mode call recording ability, please?

No idea, I think that MIUI, CM7 and Stock Roms require different Kernels (or some serious customisation) so i'd be guessing: No. But it's just a guess.

DooMLoRD added this to his Kernel, but I don't have any requirement to record my calls so can't confirm if it's working or not. Feel free to test it out - you may find yourself in luck!
Bah! Uploading failed the first time, but it's fixed now.
If you downloaded the file before I posted this, and only have a 1.2MB file then please DONT FLASH IT. It shouldn't mess anything up permanantly but your device won't boot.
I've uploaded the file again (to the same location), please re-download and flash this one (it should be just over 6MB)
Please make it compatible for miui?;D.......

Hi hartej glad to see you back on the forum
A have quick question, how can be repaired this problem: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3708 DooMLord may be able to help you repair it? Or will show some tips
Sorry for double post...i had found a way to port to MIUI...take a look here hartej..)

To port kernel : nothing special, just compile it with :
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y
# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G is not set

Hi Hartej, sorry but even with your second upload. The kernel doesn't boot. It stays at black screen (not even the SE logo)
@hartej: some notes ...
thinking its a good choise using DooMLoRD's kernel as your base, congratulations for your wise decision
some minutes befor i fastboot'ed (temporarly) your image (i.e. fastboot boot <image>)
# kernel cpufreq defaults is ondemand 245760/1862400Hz - no max 1GHz as you'r thinking?
some LITTLE change-requests from me - please
# /proc/config.gz support - a great help for every self-builder
# init.d support - importent i'm thinking, i modifyed init.semc.rc in initrd.img in your boot image for myself (serves only as a example)
service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
user root
oneshot
# a git respository of your kernel for self builder
ok, thats all for NOW, thank you for your good work.
greetings
Doesn't boot
I've downloaded your present(RayDoomKernel-2011-12-18.img / 6.23MB) and flash it on my Ray with fastboot tool. But it doesn't boot, just shows me black screen.(Not even show me SE logo ) Anyway I appreciate your great effort.
is it for stock 4.0.2.0.A.42 firmware
Oh I tried.Doesn't boot with the 4.0.2.A.042 FW.
@hartej
glad to see u back on this
some devices cant handle 1.6Ghz+
thats why i keep 2 kernels
2.0Ghz
and
1.6Ghz
for other things u can check my kernel-ramdisk

Lol, I'll upload the right one eventually! Just tried downloading and flashing this myself, only to discover that I'd mistakenly uploaded the latest version instead of the working one. Still playing with getting the ARC ramdisk working with the Ray, possibly because of the speed issue DooMLoRD quotes above which is the reason for the black screen - the Kernel itself is identical, it's just a difference in the RamDisks.
I've uploaded the working one now - sorry for any confusion!

Works Great
Two thumbs up!
It is quite stable even at 2ghz.
But I would stay at 1.5 with smartass v2 considering battery life.

This Kernel is for STOCK Rom !!!! not for cyanogen mod.
Built straight from HTC source 3.0.16 with 3.0.101 upstreamed
Added Chad0989's fastcharge v2
Added Showp1984's kernel based mpdecision with sysfs interface, here is a guide on explaing the settings
Added DanceDance Lazy Lagfree Intellidemand & Wheatley Governors
Added SIO Scheduler & V(R) Scheduler
Added CIFS Module use CIFS Manager or follow this guide to get shares to mount
Must Read: To install any of my kernels confirm you are getting boot with your current kernel. No need to wipe anything, the installers do it for you. If needed, only wipe cache/dalvik after flash. If your device finds an issue/random reboot/freeze, please post the issue and what you were doing at the time. Also to flash the current version if coming from a stock boot.img you must flash an early version prior <v1.4
Version denominations are as follows:
a full version is 3.0
an upstream version becomes 3.0.1 and increases upon each upstream
Current version is: 4.2
Downloads! (current versions)
Older versions:
Android Filehost Box (versions 1.5 - 3.1)
Rom & Kernel Download Page!!!(Older versions 1.5>)
Officially Unofficial Mascot Bootanimation! Aosp only
-Flash in recovery
(Thank you Synisterwolf)

Thanks for your work......using this (AOSP from your Android File host) since yesterday.....working great. Thanks again....
Sweet, more kernel action. I do have one hope for a kernel, which is CIFS support. I have been unable to get CIFS working on any of the ROM/kernel combo I have tried. I have tried quite a few.
Any thoughts on this, anyone? Usually my CIFS inquiries go unanswered, lol.

Thanks for the work, I just installed AOSP finally and Neo includes your kernel in his Rage rom. I was wondering if you were considering adding badass governor in the future. My last kernel, dsb9938's rezound cubed, had it and it seemed to give slightly better battery life than wheatley.

I just optimized Wheatley for a slower cpu ramp but have yet to pull/cook in the changes. On another note, v1.1 is now online with CIFS. For those who don't know what CIFS is, it allows Samba shares to be mounted acrossed an internal network to allow streaming and file sharing.
I have yet to build v1.1 for AOSP since working on the wifi wakelock issue currently (might as well kill 2 birds right?)
Although with your recommendation, I will look into it. Again Tuesdays are the usual build days.

Don't say that. I have seen your posting. You're pretty damn smart.
For those who have downloaded Global v1.1. It will softbrick. I need to redo the boot.img. You will end up in a bootloop
It's good to see another kernels show up on the scene. I'm gonna wait a little bit for it to mature, but I'll definitely be trying it out sometime soon.
What is up with that site? I made an account then clicked your link again (specifically the AOSP one). I saw a delete button and thought "no way I could delete someone else's file" so I clicked it and it deleted it (the RC zip)... did I just delete your files or is it only gone for me?
Crap. Its OK. I got RC1 locally but won't be able to reupload til later. I'll think of a different way to give you guys access to previous versions without being able to delete. Please be careful next time. I'll fix it later.

Not yet. But i can make overclocked kernel later. But i think 1ghz dual-core is enough for ics.
I think that greater number governors and schedulers are more important than overclocking, you're 100% right with speed for ICS and even JB.

Qualcomm S4 Play is made for speed 1-1.2GHz, and that's the safe range of frequencies. Remember that this is ARM-cortex A5 not Krait, and more than 1.2 can really harm it.

I know ramdisk, but let me rephrase my question, what exactly (in ramdisk) needs to be modified and how, to make it work on jb. Anyways, i'm still figuring things out by trial n error so progress is very very slow. The logcat was the only thing i ever got to which showed the cm10 logo as well but then, everything MESSED up.

my bad edited.seems mixed it up.
So happy to hear such good news for the DesireX! Finally the developing for this device is becoming richer first of all, thank you for this custom kernel and thanks nexus prime for his effort to port the CM series I'm not an expert but yeah, sense and AOSP/AOKP Roms need different kernels. To learn more I think that Dennis Rassmann (the creator of the famous Bricked kernel series) or faux can answer your question about ramdisk, if you contact them (they are really kind and gentle). After that I would like to ask if it's possible to add the useful sweep2wake function to this kernel, in future. For now, good work guys, never give up!!!
Hello! This is my first thread, ever, on any forum so please don't bash me if I forget something .
I've decide to make a kernel for the SGP 5.0 for Gingerbread because I loved Entropy512's, but I was slightly jelous of the INTL users and all their new givernors and I/O schedulers. Soooo i used Entropy512's sources and borrowed rumirand's schedulers and governors and tossed in a 1.4 GHz OC and a few cherry picks from KOala888 and voila!
Current features:
O3 optimization
battery pooling - 60sec (KOala888)
touchscreen responsivness tweaked (KOala888)
Screen UV (KOala888)
2.6.35.7 source for GingerBread.
Unsecure mode.
Swap support.
Overclock to 1.4Ghz and undervolt capabilities (use SetCPU or another software for UV).
Added lazy (default), interactive, interactiveX, smartassv2, ondemandX governors.
Added BFQ, V(R) and SIO (default) schedulers.
Init.d support.
Added statically linked busybox 1.19.3 (/sbin)*.
Modified adbd (pointing shell to /sbin/sh), so you can use adbd even if you don't have any partition working.
ext4 support (ghetto lagfix).
ClockWorkMod. Nandroid backup - restore works, mount/umount, format (formats to ext4).
CIFS support.
jhash3.
SoD patch from netarchy/coolbho3k.
TinyRCU.
netarchy's conservative tuning patch.
Custom bootanimation support (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) from Entropy512's kernel.
Per-File fsync() disable
Charginghacks from Entropy512.
I may release a 1.2 GHz version if the community finds 1.4 too unstable.
If there is anything i forgot please tell me!
Download USA
Download INTL
Almost forgot my sources: https://github.com/augiem94/linux_kernel_galaxyplayer
Feature requests are welcome!

Entropy512-his sources and his handy build script! Saved me a TON of hassle

I've got Entropy's kernel on my player, and I keep having random freezes. For instance, I'll be typing or scrolling and thing go completely unresponsive for a second or two. I'm not sure if it's a governor thing or what (I've turned off overclocking to see if that helped, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
Do I just have a bad install of Entropy's, or is this something everyone has? Would flashing this kernel likely to fix those issues? Can I flash without re-installing my ROM (Gingerbread Based)? Are there any issues I should know about before applying this kernel?

I had the same problem, i could never diagnose the source, but so far i havent had it once with the 1.4GHz OC. if you do get that problem tell me and ill look into it further .
EDIT: Problem still exists, if anyone has an idea what it is please tell me. I believe Mevordel had a theory a while back it was due to facebook being a rogue app and causing it. Feedback on this theory will be greatly appreciated!
EDIT2: Facebook does not appear to be the culprit.

I ran this kernel almost all day yesterday. Visually, things in the UI don't look much faster (probably because of the lack of GB hardware acceleration, and Project Butter), but a few 3D games run noticeably better. Those random pauses that occur, especially when typing on a keyboard, have seemed to also disappear. Thanks for making Gingerbread a bit better to use for those of us that can't let it go completely just yet!
I likewise ran all day, and didn't see any issues. I'm optimistic they're gone now. I never install Facebook, to further disprove that theory.
General question lol is it possible to compile gingerbread kernels with a Linaro toolchain?

Of course But you may get compile errors when building with Linaro, in which case you will need to solve them. There are also a few other things to worry about with Linaro, else you may solve the errors and get the kernel to compile and it won't boot.
Thank you! I am a going to load this right now. Thanks for including smartassV2 in governors. The main reason I used INTL r14 over Entropy.
Edit: 8:50 pm.
Cannot load over clock module from Tegrak. When I try to load the module and change the OC to 1.152 (which I find most stable on my player) the player will reboot. 1.2 and 1.4 seem to be the only option for OC. Been running at 1.2 for now with no issues. 1.4 seemed to run too hot.

Same problem here with Tegrak, I'll try to get it sorted out in the next release.
EDIT: I got the module to load i think, but the device reboots directly after. It reboots after the Load Module button greys though so I'm fairly sure its loading
EDIT2: It loads if i set the max frequency to 1.2GHz from No Frills, but if i change it back to 1.4 after its loaded it reboots. Getting there .
it can't get "too" hot from technical side

You probably can't load the tegrak module because the vermagic is different

The tegrak module and the kernel have version names in them and the module will only load when the version inside said module matches the version of the kernel. Basically, they need to have the same name. There's some nice info on this here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x380.html

After using it for a few days now,it seems that scrolling still sometimes locks up. I haven't noticed any issues with typing yet, but that could be not using it at the right time.

It's not the version of the version but the localversion (normally it is 2.6.35.7-XXXXX) The X represents the local version. You can modify the module to actually make it work with the kernel or in your case modify the localversion specified in the defconfig.
Thank you so much for this Kernel!!!! I am loving the 1.4 Ghz. Smooth sailing so far. Once again thanks!
Alright guys, the time has come
As you already might have seen around here, I recently got this device and also started working on it.
Deep down in my heart I am more of a kernel dev than a ROM dev, which is why my first real contribution just had to be a kernel.
And not just any kernel, a wild one even: It's time to unleash the Werewolf in our tablet
As usual, my main goal is to get the best performance out of the device, especially for gaming.
I have been working with Tegra SoC's before, so I can probably make use of my previous experiences.
Now, enough with the chit-chat, time to look at the
Features
Patched CONFIG_KEYS vulnerability
CPU OC (up to 2.5GHz, default is stock 2.2GHz)
GPU OC (924MHz)
Custom I/O Schedulers (SIO, FIOPS, BFQ, CFQ, Deadline) with FIOPS as default
Ported ElementalX governor
[WIP] Added S2w and DT2W (experimental, not fully working --> use on your own risk!)
Added exFAT support
Added fsync toggle
KSM turned on by default with deferred timer
Added /dev/frandom support
Various TCP tweaks (enabled westwood as default TCP congestion control)
Requirements
MM bootloader and any MM ROM (should work on all ROMs running the MM kernel natively like CM13 or Bliss)
TWRP or any other custom recovery
fastboot environment
Installation
Download both the devicetree blob and the kernel zip
Boot into the bootloader and flash the DTB (fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb)
Boot into TWRP and install the zip
Reboot and feel the Werewolf's power
Bugs
S2W and DT2W not working when device is in deep sleep and touch may stop working when it was sleeping for too long

tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
Feel free to look at this as a sneak-peek, I am far from done with getting the best out of this device

Any reason why we can't just flash a zip version ? Just wont be at a computer anytime soon thats why
This is MM stock Nvidia K1 base
Is there a way to disable S2w and DT2W? I use the magnetic cover and don't need to double tap to wake.

Maybe you can use Kernel Adiutor to disable such options.

I had to raise the EDP limit as well as the freq table in the dtb in order to reach the oc freqs. You can try it without flashing the dtb, but I can't promise it'll work the way it should

Excellent. I'll give it a go and see how it works.
Is the battery a Lot weaker with this kernel and oc or is it the same?
Bit lost dev earlier the dtb flashed via fastboot no problems but i had to do a factory reset cause a was getting fcs but now its not working command write failed no such device or adress any ideas cheers

Edit done it now strange
I wish we had an dolphin version working on MM to try the werewolf
It works! But
So i installed it no problem cpu overclocks to 2.5GHz.
Kernel same page merging is fine .
Elemental x is great.
The the double tap to wake is buggy like it works once then stops working until i disable it then renable it.
My biggest problem is the same i have with EVERY SHIELD TABLET KERNEL YOU KERNEL DEVOLPERS CLAIM IS....... The gpu freq
You say its at 924 but the highest it goes in benchmarks and other apps is 540 and i cant overclock in kerner tuners like
Kernel auidtor
Device control
Kernel tuner
Etc....
All of them say no gpu tweaks.
I will like to point out i am running your kernel on the OG shield tablet not the new model but the old one running a version of android 6.0 that was converted from the new model shield to work on the og shield tablet stock rom so i thought ok lets try blisspop 6.0 and still nothing if you could be one of the first kernel modders to ACTUALLY get the the gpu to overclock and not give up or go quiet like the other kernel modders for this tablet then i swear the community for this tablet will make a satue of you because no one can seem to overclock this thing because they all give up but thanks anyways finally a 6.0 stock kernel that lets me overclock to 2.5ghz and secretly IVE ALAWYS wanted double tap to wake on this thing so if you could fix that as well id be super excited to donate

It's weird, because after testing I decided about no raising voltage in BitO-KX series (safety and eco criteria) and it seemed to be stable at max OC, but now I get RR at max freq with your kernel if I don't flash dtb, so I suspect Nvidia had readjusted something in MM kernel... Have you faced this?
Thnx for your great work.
Hi, first I'd like to say thank you for this kernel, I'm super stoked to try it. But I have some questions/fears to resolve first.
If I don't want to overclock do I still need to flash the dtb?
Is there a stock dtb that could be uploaded in case someone wants to revert to stock? Or would I be able to accomplish this simply by restoring a twrp backup?
Anyway, thanks again

First of all, how do you check the freq during the benchmarks?
I've been running antutu, and the GPU was properly using 924MHz (otherwise I wouldn't have said so)
Furthermore, you don't need to manually OC the GPU, it is OC'd by default simply because of the fact that no kernel tweaking app supported K1 GPUs up until now.
In the future the recommended app will be Device Control because that's what I am using myself. In the coming builds of DC, K1 GPU tweaks will be available there as I have added support for our GPU to Device Control: https://github.com/Evisceration/DeviceControl/commit/b2d4872869d1eda517c47588b83b6f3f895aaa01
DT2W and S2W are still on my list of course, and I'm sure the original shield will also be able to OC the GPU

Hmm, no random reboots for me. I do have the dtb flashed, though. When do those reboots happen? During sleep, while playing,...?
Comparing the LP kernel to the MM kernel, quite a lot more stuff has moved into the dtb (like throttling, edp and power limits,...), which makes flashing the dtb even more important. Not sure, though, if they have also changed something regarding the actual voltage levels (except making it harder to add a proper UV interface).

Yes, flashing the dtb is always recommended.
No, TWRP does not make a backup of the dtb partition, I think I have a backup somewhere, though. I could upload it if needed
Ok so i check the freq in file manager system log you find more details about the benchmark like 3dmarks slingshot and whatnot so ok
I feel like an idiot could the reason be because i disnt flash the dtb? Because i forgot?
By the way i use AIDA64 and go to display the gpu goes from like 52 to 924 and i noticed while not using your kernel the maximum is like 824 witch is weird i could have SWORN on 5.0 stock kernel the maximum was 924 anyways it says it can go up to 924 but it stays at 524 i even run the device in max performance and run the benchmark and the app in MM's new multitask feature side by side and it stays at 524 while doing the most demading benchmark ever the 3dmark slingshot one also i benchmarked both using your kernel and not using your kernel and actually scored 80 points lower using yours (witch my highest is like 2480) but im sure this was because i didnt know kernel samepage merging was left on by default by the way is not good for benvhmarks obviously but good for games. But i will say the higher cpu overclock got me more fps in the CPU stress section of 3dmarks slingshot test (by the way all these tests are done on the 1440p one) basically what im getting at here is my device isnt overclocking but maybe thats because i didnt flash the dtb but i didnt think that mattered i will check back later after flashing it and seeing if my reaults are fortunate.
****EDIT**** so after flashing the dtb everything is still the same :/ what do you think im doing wrong is there any way i can send a system log or something i really want GPU overclocking

Alright, so I just did exactly what you described: installed AIDA64 and it really does show 540MHz as max current freq with only AIDA open. Then I went on running sling shot and reading the freq via adb a couple of times during the bench and the freq was hopping between 756 and 924MHz just like it should:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/kernel/tegra_gpu/gpu_rate
924000000
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/kernel/tegra_gpu/gpu_rate
756000000
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/kernel/tegra_gpu/gpu_rate
924000000
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/kernel/tegra_gpu/gpu_rate
756000000

Please check via adb as well while running the benchmark and let me know your findings

Yes you definitely should, especially when using OC freqs. The throttle tables are now stored within the device tree as well, which means the stock ones won't fit the current clock rates which could cause trouble once the devices tries to throttle down.
The DTB is needed regardless of the bootloader, they just have to match one another (LP bootloader and LP DTB vs MM bootloader and MM DTB)
Ok so tell me this if you have the time or backups have you tested the bench with and with out the kernel and i did what you did and whatta you know its overclocking BUT WHAT THE **** so why are we not seeing a performance increase? Is Aida the only reliable gpu checker lol are we being lied to by the system? If so? I wonder where does aida check its gpu freq i feel like going on an app system file ADVENTURE TO FIGURE THAT OUT i dont know maybe im expecting too much for gpu overclocking.
Might i have some suggestions for kernel additions? Like a simple line of code to automatically put in androids new mm multi window feature its buggy but can help ALOT for some stuff
Maybe research a zip called nitrox
Iteli plug so i dont have to use shields custom performance settings set the device at 2 cores to save power THEN go to device control and tick my freq
Most of of BitO's K features
I mention all these as your still the only 6.0 kernel for this tablet and yea i know you just released this kernel and i still love it but just some ideas you know
And GPU overclocking is still a priority
