[kernel] Experimental Froyo kernel - need beta testers - Atrix 4G General

Hi, I am not sure how many of you used my kernels/ROM before (T-mobile MyTouch 4G, T-mobile G2x). My best friend has an ATT Moto Atrix4G and he wanted to overclock/undervolt his phone. Since Atrix and T-Mobile G2x are very similar, I have created a kernel that does exactly what he's looking for.
I DON'T HAVE Atrix myself (I am a die-hard T-Mobile fan), but I don't mind releasing a kernel for you guys.
Requirements for Beta Testers:
1. Must be on ATT and have Atrix 4G unlocked
2. Willing to install experimental kernels (MAY BRICK your phone, cause thermo nuclear meltdown, cause your cat to die etc...)
3. MUST follow me on twitter for updates
4. Able to give logcats / dmesg to pastebin.com
I have the base kernel compiled with the following enhancements added:
a) Overclock up to 1.2 GHz for stock voltage version and 1.4 GHz for under volted version
b) SLQB allocator for memory
c) BFQ I/O Scheduler
d) Overclocked AVP (system bus)
e) Tegra2 specific compiler optimizations
I will merge the separate Wifi module as part of the kernel build tonight (Major FAIL from Motorola, they are either lazy or making it difficult for open source by keeping WiFi source code as a separate build. Major pain in the ass).

I will beta test!

Could you post a bit more info, like is this 1.2.6 1.5.7 1.8.3, that sorta thing!

I'm down for some testing.

Also need to know which versions this would work on....1.26...1.57...1.83...2.3.4?

1.2.6/1.5.7 are the same

Sorry, I am not familiar with the naming conventions for Moto.
It's definitely NOT 1.83 or GB 2.3.4. Moto has NOT released source 1.83, on their sourceforge, people have been threatening them with GPL since early June, but Moto has not complied yet. The ONLY available kernel source for ATT is 1.26 on their sourceforge. I am using 1.27 source from LATAM released on 6/25/2011, I will do a diff between ATT and LATAM to make sure they are compatible. I have my github all setup already, right now I have set my kernel source to "private" on github because I have NOT released it for public consumption yet I still need to merge the Moto FAIL separate wifi module into my kernel tree. Once I completed my merge, then I will "open source" my github and release version 0.0.1
From what I've seen and read, looks like Moto is NOT following GPL very closely, they are slacking off in terms of releasing their kernel source... We need more GPL guys to knock on their doors
PS: BTW, I am at work, so there's nothing I can do until tonight when I get home My goal is to merge the wifi module into my kernel tree and release a quick version 0.0.1 and have beta testers go at it.

i will do it

Overclocking the 1.72 OTA

Hey guys,what's up?
So,I guess I am not the only one who's sick of htc delaying the release of the source code for their latest OTAs.Especially those of us who have owned a Hero or a Desire(I for one had both ) will know what I'm talking about.
So,there I was at the Desire Z forums and saw the original thread for the overclocking module we were using with 1.32,before we had permanent root and CWM.As coolbho3000 states here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813681,
If there's ever an OTA or if you flash a custom kernel, you'll need a recompiled version of the kernel module, and with different addresses. Any kernel dev can easily do this using the documentation below.
To use it on another device (such as an HTC Desire Z, if it runs a different kernel, or even an HTC Desire HD or 8x55 myTouch) running a different kernel, you must re-compile the kernel module from source and refer to the instructions here to modify it (or the installation process) accordingly: http://github.com/coolbho3k/vision_o.../master/README

So I think that with some work we can do it.Seeing the dual core phones coming out,1GHz seems kinda slow,doesn't it?
If anyone's interested please let me know!

Odd's are that the pulled 1.72 updates source code will never be released... If you really want it, contact the FSF to put some pressure on HTC to release it.

i think HTC will have to release it, even though it was pulled, the fact it was even released and people may be using it means, HTC are breaking the GPL by not releasing it
Someone on leedroid thread has managed to overclock the stock kernel

Well,did we have the source for the 1.32 kernel then?I dunno...
But anyway,even so,until HTC does something for us,we should have something to keep us occupied with!

Umm, its negligible. To start a thread in development you need to have created something for other people to test and use. Posting a link to a website which developers probably check every day doesn't really count.

I am in agreement here; this should not be in dev as it is just a link to the kernel released, no actual development is being done. It belongs in general. Plus, you guys need to stop bickering damnit! Time to start this thread with a clean slate.

That's the Atrix 2 (OMAP), and that's Ubuntu for Android rather than Ubuntu Phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android, as I understand it, is basically the Webtop that we've already had for some time now and uses the kernel already on the device, whereas Ubuntu Phone OS is a complete replacement for Android, but the details themselves are a bit sketchy, like what display server they're using, what kernel is supported. Wouldn't it be both ironic and disappointing if it required an ICS/JB kernel, especially since we still have a Froyo/GB kernel.

yea because it's not really a proof that it is working for our tegra phone. it's a lot different so u have to find a phone that has the same specs this but there is no one.

Yeah, he identifies the device about 10 seconds or so in, but admittedly if he didn't the only other way to identify it would be process of elimination, looking at the logo's and figuring it out that way.
Guys, there's a post of saiftheboss7 that he mention that he made a request to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's Guru. You can upvote that request so that the Ubuntu Kahuna sees that us Atrix users want the Ubuntu OS for our beloved A4G. I can't post links right now, too noob for the forum, but you can check it out in this section.
Upvote my friends, upvote and we can have a better functional phone!!!!!:good:

please don't force the devs to support our phone. just let the image release si the devs can see the source code and the system. After that we can ask to import the os to the atrix if it's possible.

I don't think this will be fully working without an ICS Kernel.
I think an effort like this worths a try, since we can aways update the userspace ubuntu packages, keeping the old kernel. I don't see why the old gingerbread kernel wouldn't work.

[REQUEST] N8000 Kernel Source

I am about to build a kernel for N8000. But my problem is I can not download from samsung open source site (Very Slow Connection).
Can someone please mirror the update7(MD1) for me on a fast server like dev-host, android file host, mediafire or etc...?
Here's the Samsung open source site:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-N8000
Thanks in advance.
You may use my GitHub repository, which has a branch "merge-to-ss-jb" that is just the vanilla Samsung kernel, backed by the complete Linux tree.
Also, if you're interested in a complete, up-to-date tree (and what I'm running on my own GNote) you may browse my "kernel-forward" branch.

Thanks.
I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. Merge-to-ss-jb is the latest source (MD1)? Is it a good to go for a kernel to be based upon?
2. Is it alright with you that I base my kernel on your own kernel?
I appreciate it if you can help me with some kernel stuff as I am new to this.

Yeah, it's essentially the official Linux kernel source up to version 3.0.31, overlaid with a cleaned-up version of the 1st Samsung JB kernel release, then each subsequent Samsung Open-Source Release (latest is "#7") is overlaid on top of that. If you build the HEAD of that branch, you'll have a vanilla Samsung kernel as of XXMCD1.

Of course! The entire Linux kernel is built upon Public collaboration; we all share from each other. My kernel has a few selected bits here and there from diverse places like CyanogenMod, Francisco Franco, Xstacy, the upstream kernel, Qualcomm, NVidia ...
I used to post my built kernel up in the ROM threads I used to use on my GNote, but someone complained and I don't really feel like being bothered with my own thread (don't have time for the inevitable newbie SPAM) so until if/when I do go "public" with it, the "kernel-forward" branch on GitHub is the best place to get what I'm running now.

Heard that the published sources have different wi-fi drivers than preinstalled stock kernel.
This is the main reason of allshare cast not working with custom kernels (on the contrary, some s3 custom kernels DO SUPPORT allshare cast), even if status=official and flash counter=0.
Anyone can confirm?
Anyone has the proper ones or know which one (i.e. from a different samsung device) to use?

12.0.A.2..254 kernel sources

Maybe I missed some annoucement... does anyone know if Sony will release sources for 12.0.A.2.254?
Seems to me that development for custom kernels (like Doomlord's) have stalled because there are no sources available.

As I understand it they have no choice but to release the kernel source as it's linux and the licensing requires that it be made available. That said, the proprietary blobs for the cameras, wifi, etc. aren't generally licensed the same way so they don't normally get released, at least in source form.
I've requested Sony to provide the source and they will do that really soon

Nice! :good: :fingers-crossed:
Just out of curiosity:
I had an Xperia Arc. My perception was that Sony released the kernel sources (including proprietary modules and everything else which is necessary to build a working custom kernel) relatively quickly and without anyone asking for it. Has this policy changed, did they just forget in case of the Xperia SP/.254 kernel sources or did I just perceive this wrong?

Probably not, the kernel used for 10.1is not related to the Sony kernels as I ported the drivers to a newer kernel version. We already have any changes that may be in the 2.254 kernel and more. (I didn't notice any changes to the Sony drivers).

Finally had a chance to look at them as I got home from work only just before...
Just left my computer to push them today so didn't get a chance to check them but adfad666 is right and not much actual changes changed though which are useful for us.
Just some general CAF / kernel updates so not too important.
A panel driver was updated but I'm doubt we we will use it as our kernel is not based off stock.
Probably not. . Let's wait for 4.3 kernel from Sony as it will be worth rebasing off that
Thanks for the link to sources....
