EDIT: Use these at your own risk! These modules are built from the U8860 source, which is almost the same as the U8800pro one but not quite. In theory corruption may occur as something else may be located at a certain position in memory where the module expects something else to be there. I have yet to notice anything on my phone, but the risk is still there.
EDIT 2: My phone randomly rebooted. I haven't yet determined if these modules were the cause, but, still.
Hi,
Since the SIO IO scheduler is the one I favourite, I built the module for the B928 U8800pro firmware (tested on bronxitas' CWM variant).
1. gunzip the attached sio-iosched.ko.gz in /system/lib/modules
2. chown root.root /system/lib/modules/sio-iosched.ko && chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/sio-iosched.ko
3. Add "insmod /system/lib/modules/sio-iosched.ko" to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
4. Reboot (or insmod now :shrug and use SetCPU or No Frills CPU to change the IO scheduler.
If you want to use SmartassV2 and/or OndemandX, insmod symsearch.ko first and then the cpufreq modules. Thanks to AnDyX, Skrilax_CZ and whirleyes.

EDIT: These were built from the U8860 3.0.8 kernel source which isn't the same as the U8800pro kernel, but close enough. Use at your own risk.

Did you use the honor kernel??cos geno release a 3.0.8 kernel from honor source and the usb didnt work and also it corrupt my sdcard...if you have knowlage release a proper kernel working with sio and o/c inside...until then this isnt much help!! :/

They're modules - not an entire kernel - built from the Honor source, but tricked into loading on our original Huawei U8800pro 3.0.8 kernel...
It is possible that something can go wrong because this isn't built from the original source (you're not meant to do this - kernel structures in memory may be located somewhere else etc.), but I haven't noticed any corruption on the internal eMMC so far on my U8800pro with OndemandX governor and SIO I/O scheduler [and logcat kernel module built from this source] & USB is working fine

No, no! Genokolar actually did some proper work to try and get the Honor source working for the U8800pro but too much is missing (drivers that the U8800pro needs)
My approach was to take the Honor source and bastardize it into getting these modules built (files that let you introduce code into a running kernel after it's been built) and trick them into loading on the original kernel
This is a dangerous trick (there's a reason why the kernel checks to see if the version stored in the module matches your running kernel) because you're not meant to do this (corruption can occur) but so far everything has been working OK for me and I'd rather be using the phone with the modules as it feels a bit smoother. It is possible to add OC support through modules without having to replace the kernel (http://hex.ro/wp/blog/overclocking-an-android-phone-running-with-an-msm-core/) but it's harder to do and more dangerous to do with the Honor sources because it's not the original kernel source. Actually I should edit the first post...

I would like to OC, I admit, but it's very risky to attempt when the person (me) is lacking a lot of knowledge about kernels, CPU clocks and assembly, and when the kernel source isn't the original - I'd have to attempt to guess things from the 2.6 source
And, yes, bastardize is a real word, meaning to corrupt, make illegitimate and reduce the quality of something. It's an apt word for the stuff in the first post!

Honor boot.img works on our phone almost perfectly, phone boots but some diferent hardware (wifi, camera, bluetooth) doesn't work (ril OK). Cpu has clocked to 1,4GHz and works very stable. We find it moth ago, but with other hardware didn't work we dropped this work. Maybe you could find something usefull from that.

great job qwerty12!
Trust me what you've done needs more than just basic knowledge
I'll also tell that honor kernel boots up correctly on u8800pro(in my occasion touchscreen just didn't work, so I could only see a beautiful lockscreen there xD).
I think you should try also adding OC. Although I kinda understand you don't want to risk damaging your phone, but I'm pretty much sure that you'll manage to add OC correctly.
Anyways, keep it up!
Again great job and thanks!
Crazy talk...but we can't took rils from GB kernel...or even desire hd or some other similar phone and make our way??and geno again didnt release his honor/u8800+ source kernel code so someone can fix the sd bugs!!
also..good news everyone...(profesor furnworth) i found cm9 device tree for u8800+ dont know if its working properly but someone with linux can give it a try

@pika
great news about cm9. I hope someone is gonna give it a shot and build it. Better post it on anzhi too.The more people see it, the better.
@qwerty12
I had an idea for OC in u8800 pro. The good thing about this one, is that I think is more safe to try out.
I think you can use dzo kernel source!
boot.img from latest dzo aurora works just fine on our phone(only bt + wifi don't work at all - camera works partially)
OC on dzo kernel also works correctly on u8800pro(personally tried this).
I think with your knowledge, you can just grab dzo kernel source and build the appropriate modules.
Please give it a try if you want to.
Again thanks for your great work.
the guy is chinese and he is known in anzhi i dont know why they arent compiling it... i try last night until 8 in the morning with no success! :/

The thing is, (I/O) schedulers can be built as modules - load them, and you're adding new functionality. However, the difference with OC support: CPU regulation (probably the wrong term) is built into the kernel - it has to be. With dzo's kernel, overclocking works because the "CPU regulation" code has been directly modified to allow the user to support higher frequencies. With a module designed to enable overclocking for phones where you can, you don't add new functionality like with the schedulers - you're patching the kernel code in memory that controls the CPU.
I will look into it (people infinitely more clever than me have done it for other phones and produced code and, believe it or not, I do actually want to OC my U8800pro and I don't mind the risk personally), but it's unlikely I'll be able to come up with anything since:
I am not a proper programmer (this is probably reason enough to stay away )
Loading modules designed for another kernel is already risky enough, but even more so since I'm dealing with a kernel designed for another model so,
I'd have to look at the 2.6 kernel source to see what the frequencies etc. assigned to the U8800pro are and hope that Huawei didn't change anything for the 3.0 kernel

But I don't use it so I can't really comment, I just read the thread. You have, like said above an enhanced stock kernel with undervolt and 2 other features, nothing more. And you have the custom kernel with overclock CPU / GPU, you can change vibration, I/O scheduler, TCP congestion, etc...

Incorrect. CM barely touches the kernel as is, but the MAKO developer (his name escapes me) is even more conservative than that. It is nearly stock.

cm kernels come with everything there is and are often highly modified by the end of a device's life cycle
if this dev is conservative, ok, then it might take longer or until some new kid takes over.

both trinity and franco kernels are also cleaned up so theres no bloating. trinity is one of the least bloated kernels as it doesnt include any of the normal "buzzword" additions, only what is needed, highly optimized, debugging removed, "bull**** free" as it states in its op.

I want to know if there's a 2.6.36 kernel for our device.
I know there is working 2.6.35 which I have built and used on. But I am specifically interested in 2.6.36 or 2.6.37. The reason is I'm tring to add new io schedule and .35 doesn't support row or fias.
I found some 2.6.36 msm7x30 kernels for samsung, but I can't find one for HTC. (even a dhd kernel will be fine.)
Anyone can help me on this?
Btw, I know 4.1 and 4.0 can run on 2.6 kernel. If I want to port a 4.2 rom, how can I make it work on 2.6 instead of a 3.0 kernel?
The rom has to be able to run off of a 2. kernel. I know PAC 15 does.

Any custom ROM that comes packaged with an included kernel should allow you to overclock. AFAIK the oveclocking capability lies within the kernel (at least with Xperias this is the case) . At the least, a stock ROM with a custom kernel and a CPU/Performance app will give you overclocking options.
My suggestion though is to get a ROM like PAC, that comes with a kernel and the needed app to manage your CPU settings.

That is not fully correct.
Most PAC builds use the stock CM kernel. Our ROM offers performance settings to manage that, but they generally do not allow overclocking.
Some of us have additional builds with performance kernels built in. Not all of us though.
Your best approach would be to install PAC for your device then check your devices XDA thread for a popular performance kernel and flash that afterwords. The performance control will see the new CPU settings and you will then be able to configure it as you need.
DL an oc app, like CPU tuner or whatever..

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
