[Q] Kernel ?? - Galaxy 3 General

I know our device runs on kernel version 2.6.32. But what all improvements benefits would we get if we were able to get kernel 2.6.35 or 3.0 working on our device ?? also is getting 3.0 working on our device much more difficult than getting android 4.0.3 working ???

I think the new kernel brings bug-
fixes and security patches.Porting it should be much less difficult then porting Android 4.0.3 but you really need someone like mercellusbe with a fair bit of lnowledge in C

[Kernel] Clemsyn's Kernel for 1.2 bootloader only Froyo/Ginger/Honeycomb Version

This is my version 11 kernel specifically build only for Bootloader 1.2. Just for you information. Bootloader 1.2 allows us to flash adam ROMS etc...This should also work for zpad. So if you updated to 1.2 bootloader and would want to go back to your old rom (Vegan, TNT, Clemsyn+Caulkin combo) all you have to do is flash the ROM and then flash the kernel and you should be good to go. Here is the link.

BTW, I only tested this in my Clemsyn+Caulkin Combo, but should also work for Vegan and TNT.

Updated link for the Froyo version...
Clemsyn,
I appreciate all you and Roebeet's work on bringing HC to the gTab. I installed BOS a2.3 Saturday and your version 11 kernel Sunday. This morning I install BOS a2.4 and reinstalled your version 11 kernel. Each time I look at the Kernel Version it says 2.6.32.9-clemsyn-g568f750-dirty. Am I doing something wrong or have you been too busy to update the version number?
Regards,
Daris

That is right, but if you use BOS a2.4, there is no need to flash my kernel since it is already in the ROM
Good to know. Thanks! I am looking foward to future updates.
overclocking
can the hc kernel be overclocked and if so how? set CPU will only clock to 1000.
Bluetooth is broken

CPU master is the only app that allows me to activate the OC kernel.

Using bottleofsmoke with your kernel now, great job.
forum search is down.
May I know where to get rndis_host modules for the kernel, want to use usb tethering.
I'm wondering what for this 1.2 Ginger kernel for since I cannot find any Ginger ROM using 1.2 boot loader. Anybody can make use of this clemsyn kernel for Ginger?

its postulated that you can restore a backup of a 1.1 ROM while using the 1.2 BL and then flash the 1.2 kernel in order to get the ROM working. This needs to be tested.
I got stuck myself running the CM7 2.3.4 nightlies.

That is the right process in which you can restore run 1.1 ROM, and then flash it with Clemsyn's or Pershoot's NEWBL kernel.

No go for me
I have BL 1.2 which I got earlier by flashing stock 4349 and update to HC BoS
HC BoS has already CWM 3.028
I cannot update any 1.1 Ginger ROM (Tried Vegan, Vanilla, Harmony) using CWM 3.028
The error message :
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "harmony" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "harmony" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "harmony"
E:Error in /sdcard/download/G_Harmony_Gingerbreadv2.4.zip

i just turned on my new g-tabler for the first time. it wants to update from 3551 to 3991, would that put me on 1.2 ? or doeso only the 4xxx update move to 1.2?
Also, i read 1.2 is locked and does not allow custom kernels, this seems to be a custom kernel for 1.2, so was that info proven wrong? the thread is locked so i cant ask there
i am looking for stability and full hw accel (and something actively developed) can someone suggest a rom?
I do part-time android developer, you can see my apps/projects in my sig, I may see how I can contribute to the g-tablet now that I have one
thanks!

I think 3991 using 1.2 boot loader
To make easier update, see roebet honeycomb thread
You will find everything there for upgrading to 1.2 BL
I suggest to use 1.2 based ROM since more upcoming ROM such as honeycomb will use 1.2 BL
Lot of people say calkulin+clemsyn combo 6 is fast stable ROM
Btw, if you know some android! programming, maybe you can
work on Bluetooth DUN dial up client application.
Gtab only has wifi, meaning when travelling and can't get wifi, it's cripple
There is solution already with android phone to have wifi tethering.
But for people don't have android phone, Bluetooth dun tethering will be better
choice since most of smartphone have Bluetooth DUN capability.
I think this what lot of people missing now in gtab.
I have study a bit and find out in fact android git already implement Bluetooth dun
functionality. However missing DUN dialer application.
Only Archos makes their own DUN shipped with Archos 70 series
Clem is it possible to get a 1.6 oc version of this for 1.2 honeycomb? I had my tab up to 1.6 on 3.1.4 enhancement and was stable and flying. Like to push it as far as I can.
The link to the rapidshare download for Gingerbread doesn't seem to be working. Is there an alternative place to pick it up?

I am also having issue dloading keeps dloading a html file both from here and SlateDroid. Tried skyfire as well, no good. Would really like to see a 1.6 one.
Hey Clemsyn,
Now that rayman has a mostly working 2.6.36 kernel for Adam and they are close to having useful honeycomb roms that run on it, including full hardware acceleration, is there any hope that you'll get in to his git and make a gtab kernel out of it?
I did try booting a boot.img that rayman gave me, and then also the ic1.zip which is a full test rom, but nothing gets past the Viewsonic birds. He has some ideas, and knows changes need to be made for Gtab. It would be great if you could get involved.

[Q] a thing or two about kernels ??

i was just wondering what these kernels do . need less of that i read everywhere that our devs were waiting for huawei to release official 2.3 so they can get the kernel .
isnt it possible that we can make our own kernels or now as we have new kernel so can we expect new cm7 or xygen or miui to come out with an awesome flawless rom ????? surely the touch is much smoother on official 2.3 n camera has significant improvement ( UI is childish )

On the "what these kernels do..." check wikipedia, Android Kernels are based on Linux kernels. In just a few words kernels provide the basic functionality for applications to work (devices, memory management, process management)
Developers wait for the kernel source code (which is a 2.6.35 kernel), not the binary that is included in the official ROM (thankfully, Huawei is obligated to release the source).
When kernel source is released, any developers that want to build, tweak, study, copy, use the kernel source can work their magic *crosses fingers for CM7*

[Q]Kernel 3.0 TPT port??

Ok, i need to ask, because i searched for thread about that and i didnt find anything that could answer this question. Is that possible and is there anybody that can make a try to port the 3.0 kernel to TPT. I read that newer kernel can actiually mak our device work better, that android 4.1 works better with kernel 3.0 then 2.x.x.x. Can for example Koshu(great work with cm10) include someday 3.0 kernel in his rom??

Cyanogenmod 10.2 Kernel, which version?

Hi all,
I'm testing the CM10.2 nighties on my Razr M from two weeks. Everything seems stable but I want to try it with the SmartassV2 governor that the CM kernel is missing. I started searching for alternative kernels (like Aaaagh's one) and I noticed that the actual CM10.2 kernel is v.3.0.96: wasn't Android 4.3 supposed to have the 3.4.62 version instead? If so, why Cyanogemod is stuck with th old 3.0.96 version? I've searched for answers but I've find none...
Is it possible that every CM10.2 build has the old kernel, or is this happening only with the Razr M build?
Maybe I'm just missing somenthing...

3.4 kernel for MSM8960 isn't quite available yet.
Hopefully Moto will update to 3.4 if we ever receive official 4.2 (or 4.3)
You can contribute and follow the progress (dev wise) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243410 and http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...lopment-0610-android-booting-firmware-issues/
Ok, everything isclear now! Thanks for the quick response!
Basically we've two options:
1) use the 3.0 kernel with backported 3.4 funcions (the one integrated in the CM builds)
2) use a 3.4 kernel (like Aaaargh's or others) non totally adapted to our device
And all this because we're still stuck with Android 4.1.2 thanks to Motorola/Google/Verizon...
At this point, I think te safest thing is to keep using the 3.0 kernel... Apart for the new governors/schedulers, why soul I prefer a 3.4 kernel (maybe this is a silly question too...)? Are they usable/stable even if they're not exactly matching our device?

[Q] support of galaxy player devices?

Hi,
there are a lot of us out there that still use the Galaxy player (3.6, 4.0, 5.0 and 4.6(I think it is) ) if we could get some form of backport to these devices for this rom that'd be great!
also currently I am running the sultan kernel v7 for the galaxy player 5.0 and the pacman rom nightly build but would be willing to help test builds on the player 5 for Omni if need be.

I have a Player 5.0, although it's been hardbricked for over a year. I never got around to using AdamOutler's Unbrickable Mod to resurrect it - just haven't had the time.

that sucks. come to think of it. back when I was using your kernel for my device in gingerbread I remember you saying something about that!
at any rate. if you build or whatever I can test. i'm proficient enough in flashing my device that I can probably handle alpha builds of kernel and/or roms
btw I don't know if you've been following the sgp forums here or not but a guy recently released this thread outlining how to flash the player back to stock kernel and firmware while keeping it rooted even
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432936
this might help you
