And also @OP
Everything working fine on the Neo! Tested camera and video also in Camera Zoom FX.
About free RAM. I definitely see more free RAM, about 40MB! Great work paul!

Thank's for feedback! Updated first post. Will try some new values this night but I'll wait for some more feedback from all of you, stuff like web surfing, youtube etc. (my wifi router is broken so can't test)

WiFi not working need flash any moduls to working??

Ups yeah forgot about that, flash modules from Wedges lupusV2. As this kernel was compiled only to get feedback about the new PMEM allocation forgot to make the flashable modules zip.

Ram with this Kernel

---

And before?
(btw, I see you're using Google Maps, I would recommend using an older version if you don't need too many of the new features, I use Maps 5.0 and it's way faster than the latest version)

ram with kernel inside zip file (Nightly 27/1/2013) 75mb or 65mb between this
ok i will try it thanks

---

@paul678 WOOOOW! Nice! It's possible to make GB version (Based on nightelf 10.1 etc) and for stock ICS?

---

i think with this kernel temple run 2 run smooth than CM10 kernel

---

Re: [CM10Kernel][Neo/V][Linaro]Need feedback
@paul can we have this on stocks
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app

---

Re: [CM10Kernel][Neo/V][Linaro]Need feedback
I think that better is to let him play more with the values until we found the best solution, after that maybe he will make gb and ics version

---

I just flashed this kernel on neo v. I didn't have any FC. tested camera, wi-fi and HD video. I will report back batery life.

Kernel is based on Garwedgess source here

You should ask first wedgess... Now development for Neo/V is stopped because of this...

---

Solved.

---

All is good with Wedgess now. Builds on this thread are only for testing purpose so we can later have a better kernel.
New testing version on the way, changes will be posted on first post.
Please stay on topic here and post as much feedback as you can, and don't forget to give your thanks to everyone mentioned in the OP.

What's new in test 6 ?

---

Its working great till now.. i captured some pictures and videos.. Also watched videos.. free ram is amazing almost 230 to 240 mb at times on my Super Jelly Bean rom...i'll report about gaming soon...
