[Q] Best Kernel for CM7.1 ROM - XPERIA X8 General

Just curious to know. Which one is the best kernel for Official CM7.1 in term of :
1. 3G/WiFi connection
2. Battery consumption
3. Stability and smooth running/scrolling

I tried FXP028 Kernel, FXP030 Kernel and the one that is included with the CM7.1, i lost network connection after about 15 minutes with all of them.

i tried fxp028 oc kernel and i have some lag with oc or not.now i have fxp030 kernel and the rom is almost perfect,without any problem or lag.the only thing is missing is oc but the rest is ok.

For me 28 is the best so far
Working:
WiFi
Camera (video)
no voice volume problems
maybe 31 will bring some fixes for those bugs

How to transform kernel.sim to kernel.ftf????

FXP028 works best for me, got WiFi and 3G problems with others.

use Finally, FXP030 kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/?830j5v1qe556638 by blagus

Benchmark results
Spare hour, flashtool, and benchmarks
Code:
fps2d NeoCore AnTuTu
avg stddev RAM CPU Int CPU FP 2D 3D sum
028 OC 2.6.29 semcuser 768MHz 50 3,82 36,5 139 255 185 262 405 1246
028 fxp 2.6.29 semcuser 600MHz 54 5,36 42,2 109 198 143 270 429 1149
030 FXP 2,6,29 blagus--- 600MHz 51 5,51 42 110 198 143 250 440 1141
030 CM7 2.6.29 semcuser 600MHz 54 6,08 41,9 110 198 142 269 432 1151
Looks like OCing make ram and CPU better, but cost in 2D/3D
I set Performance governor, boot phone, wait for desktop, check version then run benchmarks one by one 2 times. Posted better results.
This is clean rom, no additional lines in build.prop or 99tweaks or something.
Tried to flash LDX004 and stock kernel under this rom but both stuck on bootlogo. Looks like this always need to be combo kernel+rom.
I`m stick to official CM7 now
http://www.multiupload.com/2SA5U1AWT8 flashable kernel (created bundle form sin).

can someone please post the 28 kernel??
got wifi problems with 30..

Only FXP ROM 028 have "normal" sound when dialing. 030 and CM71 are VERY quiet.
Looks like dialer or some sound lib are broken.
Flashed CM71 kernel under FXP028 rom. It is best combination I found so far.
FPS2D: avg=63; stdev=7,46
Neocore: 38.2
AnTuTu: ram=109, CPU int=200, CPU fp=143, 2D=264, 3D=439, sum=1155

U mean 028 kernel with official 071 cm rom??
Can you please reupload the 028 kernel?
i m searching for it, a whole day!!

No!
KERNEL CM71
ROM FXP028
I tested all roms on 71 kernel and only 028 has good sound. Then I flashed kernels under 028 rom.
I hope my phone will last long after so many wipes

Official cm7.1 with fxp028 kernel, still has wifi problems..
Next update will be next monday?
And kernel would be installed threw CWM? Or flashtool again?

Kernel is not same thing as rom. Do not confuse that 2 things.
Kernel will be always flashed by flashtool, rom via CWM.
From your post I assume you installed CM71 rom + FXP028 kernel? Or like I do CM71 kernel + fxp028 rom? ;]

Yes.. before i couple of minutes was your first thought..
No, i just reverted to fxp028rom with 028 kernel. and still no wifi..
edit: tried also and fxp028 with cm71 kernel.. stil no wifi..
In all kernel roms combination i tried, the mac address is unavailable..
i was asking about kernel and CWM, cos in my other device, can use CWM for kernels too..

Im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confused now
How many kernels are out there?
CM7.1 kernel ? what do you mean ? the .sin provided in the .zip? that really works making bunlde creation?
please reply, im lost

Phone feels responsive. I always thought about new kernel/new rom, but it might be a good idea to test different mixes. I'll see about incall volume (too low) and speakers (too high), wi-fi stability and 3G.
1:45 minutes and Wi-Fi is rock solid.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 6.1stable: Overclocking? Market?

Hi... sorry to bother you... but i can't figure out those things by myself.
Why the kernel in the stable version isn't overclockable? While in the nightlies it is? should i flash it apart?
Then... i flashed the google apps first, and then the patched market v6... but it's not working... why?

You sure you can't overclock your CM6.1.0 Stable?, i can overclock mine..
You can always flash the kernel that HCDR.Kernel v4.1 provided somewhere here in this forum section, i think its the same kernel that CM6 is using for all its build starting RC2.
Oh BTW, here's the link for your convinient..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
No Way! i flashed the kernel that you gently posted, but when i run "set cpu" the max value i can set is 528 :S
The market isn't working neither... Stable sto cazzo! (italian idiom to say it's not stable at all)
It's slower then my previous cyanogen... which was, if i recall, nightly build6!
Anyway... i read a few comments on the main thread of the cyanogenmod... i understood that build 50 is one of the best... do you advice me to flash that nightly, or do you have a better idea?
i am using the Stable build,, i did not flashed the HCDRKernel,, IMO it is incorporated in the CM stable build,, do wipe ur data and install the ROM again.. u should be able to OC... BTW nightly#50 is also a gud one.. u cn giv a try to it too..
I think you need the v5.2 market patch, as the mod doesn't have the latest market version. I suspect you'll need to wipe and reinstall to undo the changes v6 has done to the market.
Just check the CPU speed steps on "Info" in SetCPU app, if you have more steps above the 528 - there is OC kernel.. Mine has max value of 528 too, but t is enough for me, cause it's quite fast.
I made some profiles for battery levels by decreasing priority and it perfectly overclocks CPU if I want.
Also, yesterday flashed market v6 on CM6.1 and it works smooth.
same here... max value i can set is 528...
try another kernel, the 2.6.32.27 oc uv xtra neon fp, didn't work...
godspeed don't work...

? about faux123 latest cfs kernel

[Optional CFS kernel ONLY]
If this is first time you FLASH my kernel or you just recently FLASHED any ROM,
To use my CFS-Tweaks from version xxx, you must FLASH xxx first, then FLASH the latest version.
This is stated by fox in his kernel thread maybe i am being a bit thick headed but i don't wanna mess anything up.I am on cm7 7.0.2 and i wanna flas his latest cfs kernel to test but what i dont understand is this part to use my cfs-tweaks from version xxx you must first flash xxx.what do i have to flash before i flash his latest kernel exactly?Any help is greatly appreciated.And sorry for the dumb question.

Don't worry about it as its obsolete as of now. All of his new CFS kernel now has the BFS like tweak which you had to flash special kernel before and then flash newer kernel on top of it.
With all his updates he puts,out four files. 2 low voltage files and 2 stock volatge files. My,suggestion is to use the low voltage first if that doesnt work use the stock voltage. Backup...duh. Flash cfs lv than flash bfs lv. His instructions are better so follow his.

LV and SV has nothing to do with it as what you just said had nothing to do with what he asked. Before when he didn't have BFS based he only had CFS so he try to make BFS like on top of CFS which was not full BFS. At this point all the CFS based kernel has the BFS like tweak so you don't have to flash the special kernel anymore.
thanks for the input guys..now off to flashing in hopes of better battery life.
im still unclear as to which kernal to use. I am running cm7.0.3 . thnx for ur input.
its my first kernel flsh. I just want to be sure I have the rite one.

[Q] Cm7 & Overclock??

Okay.
I have the latest stable CM7 for the NC.
Which overclock kernel can I use with this, and how do I go about doing it?
I've flashed the dalinger's (sorry if I misspelled that!) OC kernel, both the latest and the 52311, but both result in a blank screen after the "read forever" screen.
What do I do to get this working?
For stable CM7, I believe you need the 4/24 kernel.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
From here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
* 2.6.29 releases are discontinued and no longer supported. They will remain hosted for those that might need them.
* There are separate builds for CM7 and stock 1.2 Froyo
* 2.6.32 CM7 builds currently do not work with the stable CM7 builds until CM7.1. You need to use CM nightlies until 7.1 is released.
* All 2.6.32 kernels require an updated u-boot from B&N 1.2 Froyo. If your Nook has "Read Forever" or a green Cyanogenmod logo on the screen when you boot then you have the latest version. If it says something else then you need to update.

So you're going to need to grab the 2.6.29 kernels, unless you kick up into a nightly. I've honestly found the 107 nightly to be very stable, with Dal's kernel (at 1100 MHz), and it's been my daily driver on SD. Avoid 106 (it doesn't have SU/root).

I don't want to use a nightly, I'll stick with what I know works. I've got no problem using a lesser kernel or whatever, so thanks!
Edit - 4/24 worked! Thanks again!
You may or may not know this, but also after flashing you still need to go into cm settings then into performance to overclock it or mess with any governors.

[REQ] Froyo with some custom Kernel.. (alfs 4 example) ??

Ok, I just realized (again, and until the next time) that Froyo Pro is the best choice for me..
But I will miss custom kernel.. I tried Alfs once, and it was all right but WiFi was not working at all. Copying Wifi libs from GDX didn't help
Can someone re-make Alfs kernel to make it work on FroyoPro? (some ramdisk changes and wifi fix)
I would be grateful... and I'm sure many others..
+1
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
+1............
It could be done but kernel should be made from cm6 core.because all kernels for x8 are made from cm7(gingerbread) core.like alfs,gdx,fxp kernel,nAa...so it would be hard,because fxp gave sources only for cm7 kernel,and most of our kernels are based on fxp kernel source.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
nice. ....
Its preety easy.We just need to compile kernel from se source and everything should work even on eclair.
I will try and report.
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
oh god im waiting for Custom Kernel on Froyo sooooooooo much
and also if im on gingerbead and for example Alfs kernel when im by clockwork install custom zip with froyo i need to change kernel to stock right?
yeap, i love froyo pro and i also love alf's kernel, especially it's OC, i get by far the best results with it, fully stable 787 mhz with smartass v2 i just wish i could combine the 2.
yes yes yes +1 for a kernel for froyo
if we compile those kernels with the same Ramdisk that we have in Stock kernel, probably it should work better in Eclair and Froyo roms, right?
flash this in cwm and you will have working alfs + wifi on froyo pro

Hello.
First, thanks @Quarx realy thanks, amazing job!!:victory::angel:
so, now the thing....
I'm using cm-10.2-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526 :laugh: whit the update kernel, but i want a kernel more recently...
i was looking everywhere and i didn't find anything. So when i read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47827999&postcount=1654 form @okij, !!!he extract the kernel from cm 11!!! omg
so i'll try, i took this file: cm-11-20140120-NIGHTLY-mb526 and extract the kernel... make a flashable.zip and Bingo.. new kernel.. more recent..
Now i have cm10.2 with 2.6.32.9 Mon.Jan 20....2014
so if you are intrerested.. you only have to do the same..
My device is Motorola Defy + MB526
Edit: now i put the included on cm-11-20140131-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
That's all..
Have fun

So, what's the gain? the latest CM11 kernels is more unstable than CM10.2 and the latest 10.2 have no camera for green lens. So what's the point?

Hi
well, now i can tell this, the governors cpu go erratic/crazy with the kernel cm-11-20140131-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
i look into the dmesg.. and i don't see anything wierd thing... in fact.. i compared 20140131 with the update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47827999&postcount=1654 and look similar.. even the same error :silly:
i don't konw what to do..
cpu erratic: i try to change the governor, the most stable one, is boosted. Interactive, smartass and indemand, when i try this, it just jump 300 to 1200 (overclock ), almost don't pass to 600 and 800.
Any ideas how to fix the governors cpu going crazy??
Pd: both dmesg included.
Pd2: new info, i flashed the last one kernel 6-02-2014, and is more stable, the cpu erratic/crazy things... doesn't appaers :fingers-crossed: governor cpu interactive
Thank's
Have fun
