Project - HTC Rezound

Okay, so I may start a project next week. Just want to leave something behind when I go to the g3
Anyways I need feedback from the community to help
I'm thinking about bringing back the custom kernel. Its still a thought though because our kernel for all ROMs already include OC & undervolt ect.. Its also 3.0.101 which is EOL (end of life) and I don't want to port an entire 3.4 kernel
I'll port parts for fixes but to much work for the entire thing
Basically all I have now and things that I'm working on that tops the stock one is:
Updates from Google source that were missed
More gamepad support
Updated thermal driver
Working on memory mapping
OTG support (untested)
Other misc tweaks or fixes
There are also governor updates I want to look at
What I want to hear from you is any new features or support for something that goes in the kernel
Or any current issues you have with the kernel that comes in your rom

I will look into double tap to wake, I'm curious on the effect of battery life but that's what on/off features are for right
Also I don't have a DNA although if I did get it working I wouldn't mind giving the DNA devs a hand on merging it for them
EDIT: the DNA suggestion was a hint for me to port from there wasnt it lol you sneakky!

Some DNA devs do have it working on their custom kernels. Being able to port it from there to the rezound is another story. Maybe a former rezound developer could help. Ihatewebos does have dt2w working on his sense kernel. If this is something you want to do, maybe a pm in his direction could help you out, cause I'm only good at flashing what you all make lol
Beanstalk holds a special place in my heart.

[Kernel][AOSP][ICS][WIP] Demonizing Kernelz GB/ICS Beta/Alpha 1/20

Demonizing Kernelz​
These are the first Kernels I have ever built so go easy on me. There are two versions AOSP GB and AOSP ICS. Currently there is no major modifications, as I get more experience I will start posting change logs and upload source code. For now we will keep all discussion in the thread. Please report any problems, or concerns. As of now I will only be uploading the zImage.
GB Beta: GB KERNEL
ICS Sense Beta: See Scroslers ROM ICS Kernel
ICS AOSP ALPHA: ALPHA
ICS ALPHA PROBLEMS: Well as with all alpha status kernels, I would not recommend daily use. Its a work in progress! Stay Posted for updates.
NO DATA
NO WIFI
NO ADB
NO USB MOUNTING
Awesome dude, you're the first to have an AOSP kernel for us. To bad we don't have a rom for it, but hey, progress is progress
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yeah been up all night messing with it and finally got it to compile. Well right now I'm working on porting an ICS ROM so we shall see how it goes.
Hit up droid vicious, he has an MIUI port he could test with

You'll be thanking me when you have ICS on your Rezound.
Personally can't wait to see some AOSP on this phone.
This is awesome. I have been getting discouraged by not having any updates on AOSP progress lately.
Is it an ICS kernel or gingerbread?
I would be ecstatic with a CM7 port right now.

Ok so iI built a KANG of the Tiamat AOSP Kernel for the Rezound. I am taking no credit. All credit goes to TIAMAT.
I am not sure this works, again this is AOSP so it has to be tested with an AOSP Port. If anyone has one please contact me for testing.
Thank You

I, like countless others, would also be willing to test, I'm sure.... Thanks for all the work!
FYI The only changes that need to be made for aosp are a few things for the touchscreen and to use the aosp WiFi module instead of htcs. Theres nothing that that should have prevented someone from booting aosp with the stock kernel... They just wouldn't have touch initially, which as a five minute fix. I also wouldn't use this kernel as the base for an aosp build since its highly modified and it will be difficult to separate kernel issues from ROM issues. I'll build a completely stock kernel with just the aosp changes later, if that's what's been holding everyone up.

From the changes I made, it looked to me as if it was completely stock with AOSP changes. Tiamat hasn't made this official so there is very few or no modifications. But man I wish I would of asked! This thing was a pain!

Where did you pull the source from? You said Tiamat so I assumed you used their 8x60 Tiamat source as the base.
http://git.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/htc-kernel-msm8x60/
If you used the vigor branch it looks like they haven't done anything at all to it yet so it may just be fine. But in that case I would remove Tiamat kang from the title since you didn't kang anything from them if you made all the changes yourself... Haha.
Edit, I see where you pulled from, it looks like they started a new branch:
http://git.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/tiamat-kernel
It may or may not work, it doesn't look like they've made too many changes to it but its using the ruby kernel as the base with vigor files added to it, I still say it would be best to use the kernel straight from htc with just the changes for AOSP added.

An AOSP ROM?

Well, all the Sense 4 ROMs drain my battery like its nobody's business, and personally I really don't seem to like Sense anymore. I know that newtoroot came out with an AOSP rom awhile back in like February, but has anyone been working on one since? And I know people "claim" to have AOSP roms but all of them are still using sense's SystemUI, so im looking for a FULL AOSP rom. thanks to anyone who can help.

Since this is a pretty touchy subject... I'll handle it.
We do not have full functioning AOSP roms. The rezound has very difficult tech to reverse engineer. The AOSP roms that do exist all have no data, text, or call capability. Not even wifi. A few have tried to work on getting AOSP over but either stopped in the hopes that the ICS OTA stuff will help or they just dumped the rezound completely. I just hope you don't get flamed.
What hurts the rezound, was that everyone was expecting to get it and then immediately switch to ICS so the gingerbread development lacked a lot. And leaks don't really help us at all as far as ICS goes. Here we are 8 months after the debut of ICS and we are still left out in the cold.
There are a few people still trying to make AOSP happen, but for now, senseless is as close as you'll get.

I'm not gonna get flamed. But newtoroots AOSP Rom was so close to perfect, ril worked, everything ran perfectly, except for a few bugs here and there. I would love if some awesome dev out there would take that Rom, fix it up, and put it on the forums. That's my two cents. Thanks for the feedback man.

Let's not flame this guy. Let's turn this into a productive thread about AOSP even though we have scattered comments about AOSP/AOKP/CM in random threads.
Chad is working on RIL issues in his upcoming kernel. Chad is an extremely busy student so don't expect anything soon although he has gotten calls/sms/1x data working.
We really don't have an updated version of CM9 or AOKP but since we don't have data for them yet, there is no reason to make a ROM bot for them automatically compiling roms nightly.
OK now let's get productive. We have GB source. I don't understand why we don't have a CM7 rom yet. Well, I didn't understand why until I tried do compile/port one myself. I am not an expert at compiling from source especially when our device isn't officially supported but my port won't boot past the splash screen. I am thinking about putting the port up in the dev section and turning it into a community project. I have tried the Demonizing AOSP kernel and I have compiled multiple CM7 kernels from source but still no booting.
I know CM7 is GB based but it's better than nothing at least until we get ICS source.

That's interesting. I always just assumed everyone was so focused on ICS/CM9 that they just never bothered with CM7. I would probably use CM7 over our current crop of ICS choices to be honest.

well, then you should go with the viper, the wake on volume was in cm10.1, but buggy so they removed it

I personally like CM right now, though both are excellent ROMs in my opinion. I just prefer the overall "feel" of CM and I love a more stock experience...I find Sense a waste of resources that could better be placed elsewhere. though you can opt out of it with Viper. That being said, I would give them both a try and see which one suits you better! They are both amazing, it's really just a matter of preference...

switching back and forth
What are best practices for switching back and forth between CM10 and Viper? NAND backups, but what about Titanium? Can that be used to preserve SMS messages? Or is it too unreliable to do titanium backups between the different types of ROMs? Thanks for your input.

you shouldn't have a problem with titanium between the 2 roms just make sure you fix app permissions
PACman, paranoid kicks ass
I have reached that point where I no longer care for the benchmarks and stuff. I don't use my phone for intense gaming or app usage anymore so as long as the ROM is smooth, can do some multitasking briskly and has no to little bugs, I am ok.
Currently, my favorite is CM10.1.2 because it can do gapless playback in Google Music and I am a sucker for it! I am a fan of PAC-rom too but I am not sure if it is stable for our phone.
Go for CM10.1.2 with a 3.0 kernel for the best of both worlds - stability and the latest Android (mdm series CM 10 is great).
Personally I prefer the CyanogenMod ROMs (more official to get deeper) because you can customize the hell out of them. They do have the overclocking you are looking for, and yes, in one of the recent updates, they put in wake-vol-buttons. I like it because the themes are just awesome and the support is excellent. Nightly updates and nightly fixes (for the most part). There are somethings that I would like CyanogenMod to fix such as the external SD card usb mass storage not mounting on PC. That is a major drag. That is the only thing that I can think of right now that I hate about CyanogenMod. Hope this review on it helps!

[Poll] How many use a custom kernel?

Alright, I am a kernel dev from the Xperia Z forums. @Thraxzzz wanted me to develop a custom stock kernel for the ultra. Mind you, I don't have the device myself, but with a little help from beta testers, I could probably develop one.
But before that, I would like to how many would actually use one, if I bring out a build.
Here's my kernel for the Z.

EDIT: Remember, to use a custom kernel, you'll NEED to unlock your bootloader.
If the kernel would support great overclocking and underclocking capabilities plus swapfile memory support, i would definitely go for it!!

Of course, all that would be included. But I need many testers. :good:
I use a custom kernel for the ability overclock and undervolt. The latter is most important to me in order to save power and make the device run cooler (it really helps on the Z). I am using your kernel on the Z too, btw.

Alright, I am a kernel dev from the Xperia Z forums. @Thraxzzz wanted me to develop a custom stock kernel for the ultra. Mind you, I don't have the device myself, but with a little help from beta testers, I could probably develop one.
But before that, I would like to how many would actually use one, if I bring out a build.
Here's my kernel for the Z.

I always end up using a custom kernel on all my devices, just for the little tweaks. Overclocking Im not really concerned with, they devices are normally more than fast enough. A little undervolting is sometimes helpful. Some speaker tuning options for the Z Ultra would be nice.
The only thing i need is a kernel for me to enhance the color (gamma) of the display, much like what asus and samsung did to their product lineup.
I would like a kernel that also supports sweep2wake and doubletap2wake, I'm using one on my Nexus 7 (2013), it is great and I love doubletap!

Alright, I could implement most of those features, but obviously need time. Let me get to working on it now. :good:
EDIT: Also, would any of you be willing to help me financially to afford this device? Just a request. I can work without it. But would obviously work better with it.

I could, but honestly I would gladly donate 50 bucks to anybody who could port a stock 4.3 as if it was a Z Ultra Google Play Edition...
I used Siyah on my S3 since it was developed for it, but now I left it behind (together with the dual boot capability) with CM 10.2 and used the CM stock kernel since.
I used it to overclock, undervolt, better the speaker and headphones volumes etc.
Looking forward to trying your future kernel, I have another week to wait for my handset to come yet...

Ah, the GPe. I'll look into that too. For now, I have to see what changes MSM8974 brings in for the kernel. Sweet, I'll get to work after I get some sleep lol :good:
Looking forward to see your kernel on our Zu. Just got to look at the Op of your Z thread and it look really good. Hope intelidemand can be use on this CPU.

Excellent. Thanks for your interest. Expect an initial release soon But you people have to test it for me

Still waiting on my device for the moment, but I always like to make a small donation to the devs working on useful tools. Hopefully many people will see fit to do the same... It soon adds up..
Nice, waiting for this one. Hope you include screen color adjustments. Like the z has.

Please help to provide the custom kernel with undervolting, better the speaker, longlasting battery, and better headphones volumes

Sure. That would all eventually develop in the kernel

I have to study the panel drivers first. I am sure they all work the same way, but just to be sure.

I hope so too. It really is a pain to develop without the device. I mean it's not impossible, but it limits you in so many ways.

[Bounty] better kernels

ok so ive been looking around for kernels for both of my devices lgg2 and n5 and ive noticed that theres a kernel with "knock on" but i also saw a sweep to wake and im sure people would donate because it would make the device better so yea, if a kernel developer has time start making a kick as$ kernel ill donate to whoever comes up with it first

I don't think a thread is needed for this, but..
Also, there already is a custom kernel..

i know there are custom kernels like wootevers and idk the others name but i mean like sweep2wake and stuff ive seen it all over n5 but yea i like the idea, but i am not skillled enough to make it/port it, im looking for a feature pack kernel not a overclocked slightly modified one. sorry i had to rant about it
I wouldnt mind seeing more dev for kernel...or roms...but kernel is important.
Dont need kernel for that, install nova and screen on

Are there more kernels out there. Only see Woots custom kernel.

I think S2W can be implemented by @Wootever , his kernel is @faux123 based, (Who make S2W possible for N5), but i don't know if faux make S2W open source, if he make it, we can get it.

What do you guys think of maybe ask franco(or other recognized developer) if he can do a kernel for G2 and then do a bounty??
i opened a bounty thread to bring stratosk(semaphore kernel) to LG G2
