Installation & Updating:
Installation & Updating Proceedure is the same!:
NAND:
Download the Alpha Series Kernel to your PC or Android Device - Just make sure it ends up on your Android's SD card.
1. Reboot to Recovery.
2. Select the ZIP file.
3. Flash.
4. Win!
ATTENTION: I know this kernel/modules combo works well with CM9, CM10, and Viper3D MULTI (V3D may have BT issue now?).
If Wifi or Bluetooth do not work, the ROM may need to be modded (init.shooteru)​

Good to see you here, was worried about development from you all.
Many will be very happy.

Development takes forever. I've been sitting on this for a while, as you'll probably notice when you look at my commit dates. LOL. I can say it's solid.
In my personal testing in CM9, I can go roughly 12-14 hours moderate usage stock battery.

Cool. Gonna test.

so this kernel is supposed to work on GB/ICS with SENSE 3.6 series onwards?
or just those Cyanogen etc?
am only aware that its SENSE/NONSENSE
now i wonder who's willing to bite the bullet

---

Welcome Back
What a good start of the day ! :victory:
Hopping you good success in our 3vo cooking.
Having been an addict on your work for HD2, I am impatient to go back home (after work) and test your creation.
Thanks for coming back :highfive:

---

Any changelog?
Hope will support exFAT or NTFS later:good:

Yes it can but at the same it can fast as well. Built my first sense kernel in less than 24 hours. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866375
You only have one commit?

good old AmericanAndroid
the most awesome roms back in the HD2 days

So what offer this kernel?

Solid performance?
AmeriCanAndroid always offers a rock solid performance. We may not do all the little things others do, or as in as much of a hurry, but we thoroughly test and try to bring the best experience.
I have a new kernel I just cooked up with some interesting changes which I'm about to try. This is I'll probably test/tweak for a few days before release.

---

May I suggest some info would be beneficial to those who might want to try your kernel, is it a secret? All we know is it is based on the stock HTC kernel????????????????? Nothing against you or your kernel but we do have abundance of inferior kernels available already
(don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care less if you phone explodes,eh!!!)

here is a change log for those who wish to know whats up..
(going off of the AOSP branch)
Code:
Switched defconfig back to bcm4329_248. Other slight mod.
==> name kernel, enable swap, set CIQ as default, set interactive as default, disable perflock, remove spi_spidev, enable zram, enable ext2, ext3, cifs,
Some config changes. Switch back to BCMHD.
Scaling governers perm fix
Lowered Wifi Voltage
==> MMC_VDD_21_22,
Slight change
PM_FAST in standby
CPU speed stuff
Config Changes. Some clock change
CPUFreq Permission
Enable CFQ
Update version info
Update 2D GPU clock
==> not really the 2d clock, but the struct/table used to define the 2d clock speeds..
==> removed 228MHz, and replaced it with 266
Updated config
mm: adjust vm ratios (mdj)
==> vm_dirty_ratio = 10 // vm_swappiness = 90;
include: mm: increase readahead buffer (mdj)
==> VM_MAX_READAHEAD 1040
Makefile: Added Snapdragon optimizations (originally from mdj)
Added ACA compile scripts and made a default copy of existing config to work from.
First Commit. Let Alpha Series Live.
OP:
may want to make use of the 266MHz entry you created for 2D GPU, 2D clock seems to be capped at 200MHz in devices-msm8x60.c
you also may wanna define item 4 in your FSB struct/table as your L2 cache is pointing to it
Code:
[17] = {1296000, 1, 0x18, 1200000, 1225000, 3},
[18] = {1350000, 1, 0x19, 1200000, 1225000, 3},
[19] = {1404000, 1, 0x1A, 1200000, 1250000, 3},
[20] = {1458000, 1, 0x1B, 1225000, 1275000, [B]4[/B]},
[21] = {1512000, 1, 0x1C, 1225000, 1275000, [B]4[/B]},
[22] = {1566000, 1, 0x1D, 1225000, 1275000, [B]4[/B]},
Code:
static struct msm_bus_paths bw_level_tbl[] = {
[0] = BW_MBPS(824), /* At least 103 MHz on bus. */
[1] = BW_MBPS(1336), /* At least 167 MHz on bus. */
[2] = BW_MBPS(2008), /* At least 251 MHz on bus. */
[3] = BW_MBPS(2480), /* At least 310 MHz on bus. */
};
also, is the WiFi voltage stable for you? - its lower than the whitepaper spec, never seen any other kernel go this low.
Code:
.ocr_mask = MMC_VDD_21_22,

I think "That other kernel" that is not on XDA was the only one to even bring ZSL to the 3D

Thanks for the feedback.
I will adjust.
Also, yes my WiFi is stable.
