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!

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.

Well, I've flashed it now. Here's to hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out
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.

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

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

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!

v2 Released. Scroll down for info!
Hello,
After lots of help from sirkay and FXP, I've built my own kernel that I thought I'd share with you.
This kernel wouldn't exist without the hard work of FXP. This is built from his source code. All real credit for this belongs with him (and DoomLord too, also an FXP Team member)
That said, this is my take and keeps the rather awesome release that is CM7.2 alive!
To be clear: This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 7.2 - Gingerbread! If you want a good ICS Kernel look at Sirkay's Thread.
So, what's different?
Uses a very recent GCC to compile, GCC version 4.6.3 which I optimised the build for Cortex-a8 and NEON.
Is compiled for performance not size (Optimize for size unticked)
Heap Randomisation is disabled.
Enabled SWAP - So you can use swap if you want to...
Default Scheduler changed to deadline, same as the Sony official kernel (still has bfq if you want to use it)
Default governor changed to ondemand.
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT turned off. (This might break apps, haven't found any yet though)
Disabled CPUFreq Debugging.
Disabled FRAME_POINTERS, enabled STACK_UNWIND. Reason here: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td6126708
There is no boot logo when this kernel boots. Each time I added one, the kernel refused to boot. I'll look at that. Just have patience, your phone is booting still...
(Here's where I make lots of stupid claims about how smooth, how buttery, how much battery life this kernel saves. Except I'm not a screaming idiot, so I'm not going to do that!)
I'm interested in any feedback you have, but I did this mostly for me.
And please remember the real person to thank, FXP. It's his source code I've used to build this. Also again thanks to Sirkay for his help and pointers.
Download it from here.

I think GB MIUI works just fine and don't want to upgrade to ICS or JB.
But a better kernel for GB MIUI is always appreciated.

Thanks sirkay, but the problem isn't that I can't make a rle file, it's that the rle file when added to the ramdisk stops the kernel booting. It seems to a bug in the SEMC loader, I found a post about it somewhere. Does the boot.img need to be padded out to a certain size to work?
Sometimes my logo.rle would work, but then I'd make changes, recompile, and the kernel would hang on boot. Annoying, so I've removed it for the moment.

Hi rivtre,
I'd love to help, but my Ray is the only phone I have and is running CM7.2. While I could make a kernel for MIUI I'd have no (easy) way to test it. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I started releasing untested things. So I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but no. Anyway, read the next bit to see why that's probably not a bad thing!
To All:
My kernel seems to be terrible when it comes to HD video recording. Can anyone else test this? I get heaps of dropped frames using my kernel when recording HD video vs a FXP Stock kernel. I need to look more at this, but for the moment I'd recommend not using this kernel!
v2 Released!
Version 2 of muppet kernel released.
What's new?
Compiled with GCC 4.7.1
Reverted to BFQ Scheduler by default
Reverted to Interactive CPU Scaling by default
Added logo.rle so you know it's booting!
Removed Debugging Symbols (CONFIG_KALLSYMS)
Reverted the scheduler and CPU scaling as they seemed to be the cause of the video recording lag.
Enjoy!

Not sure if it works with the stock ROM or not - try it and report back.
Yes, like all kernel images, you can flash it with Flashtool.
You can OC up to 1.6Ghz.
I tried it, but It doesn't work. Booting failed

Edit:
Well it doesn't seem to me that the camera recording works at all ... pictures = fine - but when trying to record video - the image freezes - and the camera app crashes.
I have to reboot to get back into the camera app...
Also, can't play any video I previously recorded...
Anything I'm missing?
I've flashed your kernel and did a cache + dalvik wipe...

Here is my first attempt at creating an OC kernel for the Incredible 4G LTE. I have also added a couple of new governors. Right now it overclocks up to 1.458 GHz and goes down to 192 MHz. The governors I have added are Lionheart and OndemandX. InteractiveX has been added to the source code but it currently has issues with building when included so I have to work out why. I plan to do some more work on this over the next few weeks to help make it better. There is no ETA for any changes as I still have to learn about each item before I have added it.
This kernel was built using the source provided by HTC at HTCdev.com.
My source is located here: https://github.com/blazingwolf/HTC_Fireball_Kernel
Please remember that I am not responsible for any harm done to your device!
I have been running this with no issues so far but that doesn't mean you won't have problems on your device.
11/18/2012 update:
This kernel will not work with any new variant ROM like Viper 2. I have to wait for HTC to update the kernel source so that I can update the kernel. Hopefully it will be quick but I expect at least a month before they release source.
Sweep2Wake
Add in Sweep2Wake provided by Zarboz and Showp1984.
Bug: Right now sweeping off can trigger the screenshot function. In the next version the screenshot will be written to use the vol- instead so we don't run in to this anymore.
To sweep on move your finger across the softkeys from left to right. To sweep off move from right to left (if you move in a small arc over the home key you can get to a point where the screenshot doesn't trigger anymore).
11-2: Added prima wlan driver that works with this kernel.
8-24 build:
Added persist.sys.usb.config=adb to default.prop in ramdisk
Things changed in this build:
Added OC up to 1.458 GHz
Added UC down to 192 MHz
Added OndemandX and Lionheart governors
Ramdisk still provides the needed items to maintain root.
I have been using the No-frills CPU Control app from the Play Store to make overclock and governor changes.
Thanks (in no particular order):
mdeejay - for overclock info from his HTC Ville kernel
thewadegeek - for governor information in his kernel tutorial
Zarboz and Showp1984 for Sweep2Wake
Apologies if I have missed someone responsible for something I have included in this kernel.
Install instructions:
1. Unzip the 824OCboot.img zip so you have boot.img in the folder.
2. Place phone in to bootloader mode and connect to your PC. ADB needs to be working.
3. Open a command window in the same folder you have the boot.img.
4. At the command prompt type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. Check the text to make sure that it has flashed correctly.
6. At the command prompt type: fastboot reboot
7. Set the speed and governor you would like to use.
Known issues:
With sweep2wake you can trigger a screenshot when trying to sweep off. A work around is to arc over the home button. It still can trigger even then though. A fix should be coming in a bit.
I'll keep this one for now.
Have you tried patching it to the latest Linux build? I still gotta learn to mess with Linux so I can mess with the kernel! Nevertheless, great job!

I've noticed an issue with the OndemandX governor and 1.458 GHz setting on my phone. It is causing lockups. If anyone tries it please let me know if it works OK for you. I'm hoping it will work correctly for others and it is just my phone acting silly.

Normally, you should only overclock the phone 10% - 15% more than the original speed. Try OC'ing it to 1.35GHz on OndemandX and see if it locks up. Also, can you give me some pointers on how to start setting the stuff up so I can practice making a kernel?

It runs fine at the 1.35GHz. Lionheart runs fine at 1.45GHz. Others might be able to do both though.
The link above can help and I also wrote up a quick FAQ when I was working on the Adam kernel. It will work the same for here just switch to the HTC source is all.

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

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.

Well aware. Working on it but can't quite get it working. Didn't give up just set aside on the backburner for now as the knowledge is beyond my intellect.

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.

not a kernel feature requires correct media codecs.
Edit : @Dev congrats First custom kernel for this device(max safe oc for this processor is 1.2 GHz just saying) also a request can you add ROW IO sheduler heard its better than SIO also PegasusQ/D governer.In next release.
Thank you.

my work on cm10 boot was stuck on ramdisk issue. i posted a last_kmsg which showed that kernel booted but ramdisk had issues.
i dont understand kernel issues very well, but hope to get it working now that you are here. i'll ask for ur help from time to time.
plus, i want to take permission to use ur kernel tree for building cm9/10 from source. dont wanna use prebuilt now.
last thing, what is the difference between an ics n jb kernel, exactly what needs to be modified to make it work?....

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. Havent been able to replicate that result since.

The difference isn't just in ics and jb. the difference is in cm and sense ramdisk too. I don't know what need modify yet, but i will start the work with cm later when i have enough free time.

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!!!
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
Direct download links
Werewolf_v001_anykernel-2016-01-25_1912.zip.zip
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.

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

Is the battery a Lot weaker with this kernel and oc or is it the same?

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

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
