How to Install/Use eugene373's 550Mhz Overclock Kernel for G1?

Hi,
For those who have tried it, can you please give me some pointers on how to install the kernel to CM's ROM? http://twitter.com/eugene373 - download it from http://shrinkify.com/1p6p, eugene373's work enables G1 users to install setcpu and use Droid's settings to get a 550Mhz (up from our normal 528Mhz).
I have tried flashing it using the recovery console, but came up with a lot of "google partner setup errors" that does not enable me to access most applications. Can someone guide me on how to safely install this? Thanks a lot.

I'd love to know this as well, accept I have a MT3G 32B and when I flashed it, both times I hung on the MyTouch screen...no dice so far.

This turned out to be a hoax, it only shows that the CPU is running faster but it really isnt.

Well, I don't think hoax is the right word for it because that implies malice intent.

[kernel][testing]Unhelpful Kernel (from Captivate)

I'm trying to get the kernel I've been working on for Captivate working on Vibrant. This poses a bit of a problem, because while I have access to a Vibrant kernel and initramfs, and a known-working config for Vibrant, I lack access to a phone.
I've forked a test branch based on what I have so far. I would appreciate pretty much any of the following:
a volunteer to build this kernel or test a binary
a volunteer to help with Vibrant development
any other Vibrant-specific details that don't apply to Captivate or to SGS in general
I have already built a binary, but it is mostly untested. I want to make it very clear that this is a testing kernel. It should work, it should not break anything... but it might not boot, it might wipe data, I haven't heard of it happening to anybody yet but it's certainly not impossible that it might damage hardware. These are unlikely, except for not working, but are all possible outcomes of trying this kernel. If you want to test this, read the OP in the thread for the Captivate version, have backups of your data ready, preferably duplicated to a hard drive or an SD card that is removed before testing. Have Odin3 and a stock Vibrant kernel on hand, and have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
If it hangs starting up, wait a bit, then pull the battery and start in recovery without trying to start up normally. Then, start clockworkmod, mount /system, and use adb to pull /system/user.log - this should contain a log of what happened when the user init scripts ran, and may provide clues as to what went wrong. You can make sure it doesn't include anything you don't want to reveal, and just PM it to me or join #sgs_dev on freenode and talk to me or some other developers there - perhaps a dev with a Vibrant will have a better idea where to start.
In the long term, I would not mind somebody forking the github repository to work on any Vibrant-specific issues. I can then try to pull changes from a fork and do builds for both phones, if somebody doesn't want to do the Vibrant builds themselves.
Good luck, and thank you.

if no one volunteers by the time I finish installing openSUSE I'll give it a whirl. the binary that is.

ill be more than happy to test the binary

I too will be more than happy to give any sort of help possible. Should this be a start from a stock kernel and build deal, ie stock kernel stock rom just rooted with clockwork?

If you're using a lagfix with the playlogos hack you should undo it first, or set up your user init script to run in the new early user init. Other than that anything that works with a stock kernel should still work.

I'm about to build from your source i just forked to see whats diff then mine. They look though to be about the same except for nilFS
I will probably fork and maintain a vibrant tree with ivan who also has a Vibrant. That way we can get the best of both worlds. And being that we are in the same IRC we pretty much have identical mods to our kernels.
So most likely any changes you make to your captivate Kernel will end up in the vibrant branch as well and I also have the device to test with
See ya in IRC

Excellent news! I have some things in my tree I think you could use here, too, but it's much easier to have a developer with a Vibrant who can build them and test immediately.

What advantages does the captivate kernal have over the vibrant kernal, if any?

The stock captivate kernel doesn't have any "advantages" and wouldn't really work. Unhelpful, however, has added nilfs support to the captivate kernel as well as some other tweaks, and has now made these changes available to the Vibrant community. As I understand it, NILFS mounts, reads, writes, and unmounts faster on our devices than any of the other filesystems he tested, so there's hope for a permanent lagfix.

I tried this kernel, it does boot but my existing lagfix scripts don't work with it, so I lose all my data. No big deal to fix from recovery, just revert to stock before messing with it if you want to test it. As mentioned, no real advantage either way, but it's nice to have options.
If there is interest, I'll fix my lagfix scripts to run on this kernel. Reverting back to JAC OVv4 works without hassle via clockwork.

Most Complete/Stable Vogue Android Build

So I've just recently flashed my vogue with myns donut for a couple days and It was pretty good. The camera worked but no video and neither did the gps. I understand that for verizon you have to follow a specific procudure to get that to work so that makes sense. I'm just curious to what android roms they are using for their vougue. I'm looking for one that has the most working features. Let me know what it is and how you had it set up.

For my Fresh Froyo although remember android no is 100% stable but Fresh Froyo is very good.

If you know what you want my barebones build is known to be one of the fastest and most stable builds. With that though you need to get the apk's to what you want and add them in. It is meant to be as cut down to the minimum to be light and lithe on our devices.
Another way to get apps is to use the market, I have the most recent version of the market in my build. CM 6.1 is Froyo based so you have video and all the other froyo features.

I tested more than 10 ROM including the yours and I am sorry to tell you than ever before me to worked well even the last released CM 6.1, does not work properly with the kernel that is in my signature and is the one that works best with the USB sync and just by this already this ruled out your ROM, so I'm still saying Fresh Froyo for me is the more stable and clean ROM of froyo that I tested.

Well mine is assuming you want to use the .32 kernel. Which with Clemsyn's kernel works very well. Battery life sucks though since the changes haven't been committed to git yet. But with that kernel I have not had any data loss since it came out.

Josue_181 ......Any chance you could post where you got the exact images/files etc. if it's not too much trouble. Thanks! I hope to run from haret if possible.
I have searched but it has been a while since I looked in this section. Is it DZO's Fresh Froyo you use and I cannot find Kernel: 2.6.25 10-31-10??? Hope you can help, thanks.

Okay so you say fresh froyo is one of the best? I looked it up but I am confused about what to download. Any advice would be great. I know how to install it I just dont know what file is the latest/best

This is my situation too....as I posted above. I know how to install, but am unsure of exactly what you are recommending as to the Fresh Froyo files. Thanks again.

Well try to be brief to that understand... (my English is very bad).
They must go to the thread of Fresh Froyo and go to this page, there download the ROM latest although I recommend the penultimate that is in my signature the most recent gave me problems.
The ROM download whith the name system-froyo-us-unodex-XX-XX-XX (X are date) have to rename it to androidinstall.tgz and copy in the ANDBOOT folder then locate the kernel of their choice here, the most recent is 2.6.32 although I recommend 2.6.25 which is in my signature if need USB mass storage in 2.6.32 doesn't work.
For the rest follow the installation guide in NAND is here and everything should go well.
Not be as it is done for HARET but here also the Guide to install in haret. I believe with what I said is more than enough so installed android in their device.
Best regards.

It works in Ubuntu Linux. It does not work for Windows 7, at least that I could configure successfully.
I'm using SuperFroyo and the 2.6.32.9 Kernel and a few things I noticed to make it more stable: don't use a Task Killer and be sparing in your use of a cache cleaner. Seriously, a week of doing that has really helped things. Trust the Linux Kernel, it's not Windows. I also used Autostarts to prevent a few of the more eager apps from starting automatically post-boot, but that's optional.

I cannot as I do not have Clemsyn's kernel so I cannot commit his fixes for stability to git. As far as the git kernel goes it already has those fixes.
Also with fresh froyo or any AOSP build you will not have as much speed since it does not have all the Cyanogen Mod tweaks.

So it loses a lot of those tweaks but I can say 1 thing about cm6.1 and 7 so far, they are getting rather large themselves, I can look into cm7 for hero and find atleast 10 apks that just take up space or are only good once

Does seem contradictory as to not use a task killer, the task killer close applications that are open and if you don't use are accumulating and this put slow the phone, the APP autostarts manager if I heard but none that worked well in my Vogue, which do you use?

even with barebones, the cm settings along with the now statistic reporting and updater (which cause FC's if removed) are still pretty huge. i have grown to like cm7 on my hero but with having so much stuff commited to the project as much as i hate to say it, there is starting to be alot of ::gulp:: bloatware

You don't need a task killer. The newer versions of Android will shut down apps that aren't being used if the resources are needed elsewhere. If you run a Advanced Task Killer or something similar, it will use system resources shutting down apps that then re-open themselves, which the task killer will again kill. It drains the battery and makes the OS unstable. Uninstall your task killer for a few days and see if it helps.
I use Autostarts because it fixed a problem--the music player started randomly. I also use it to prevent some apps from starting up but it is probably not necessary.

Rom cooking

so i am looking of getting into some rom and kernel cooking. haven't done it yet, but i am willing to give it a go. anybody have any tutorials on rom cooking? what do i need to set up to be able to create roms and save them etc.
any help will be appreciated. i am looking at starting to play with some HC for our beloved tablet.

I am going to stop dropping hints. Until we have all the drivers, a port will be useless. Ask all the devs over in the Vibrant Forums why theey still cann't get the GPS to work? Thye have had GB ported for a LONG time. But I'm not going to push this anymore. Now if Dell releases them, then we are in business, or if there is a possible way to extract the drivers from the stock img(s). Or if someone knows how to write the drivers for the hardware. And we will need a new kernel that is compatible with our device and hardware (that we do not have drivers for yet) because our stok kernel will only be compatible with froyo.
If you guys just wanna list reasons why I am wrong, don't waste your time typing them out. If i am wrong I will admit it if I am proven wrong. What I am hoping is that I am wrong, So prove me wrong PLEASE so we can get HC, if it is possible.

DJ_Steve who has worked with the streak 5 and has made other roms has said our kernel will work for gingerbread, it wouldnt work with HC without having to be recomplied but it should work with gingerbread. Also before you make the build you run a script called extract-files.sh (with your device connected via usb) and it will grab all the proprietary files and drivers that it needs from your working rom. and includes them in the build

i don't think i will get soo deep into cooking, but i will take my current rom and do a few mods to it, do a nandroid of it and post it here
i get home later tonight and i will try and work on something, but i won't promisse.

[NAND][pre-ALPHA] Kovsky ICS 4.0.3 testbuild0

Based heavily on TeamICS' work on HeroC, here is some very early initial work on ICS for the HTC Kovsky, AKA Sony Xperia X1. Built from AOSP source, with source available.
This is NOT for the faint of heart, and as far as I know nearly everything is broken right now. Instructions for building are coming soon - meanwhile, source is available at https://github.com/Zorlin with bits from https://github.com/CyanogenMod and https://github.com/TeamICS
Credits:
- TeamICS for all their ridiculously awesome work on Hero/HeroC
- CyanogenMod team, on which some TeamICS work is based.
- IceDroidV2 for the installer and current (slightly modded) kernel/boot.img - see IceDroidV2 thread for appropriate credits and source.
Currently working:
- Boots!
Currently not working:
- Everything else
- ADB
Notes:
boot.img is made from applying the ICS porting guide to IceDroidV2's boot.img
Currently there's a "hack" to attempt to get adb working - I threw in a copy of busybox as /system/bin/sh. Need to work out a better way, since it really didn't work...
I've got a bunch of ideas, but it's late, so... here:

Do you really think you have enough background knowledge to get this off the ground? Or is it more of a "lets see what I can do" thing?

Yes and no. I think I can bring it to the same state as HeroC, maybe sans camera, and port hardware acceleration if/when they get it working. Kernel isn't my forte, though. At the moment adb is a major and confusing stumbling block... I'm missing something stupidly simple.

can we install it or it's not ready yet
I installed it that we install IceDroid v2 but nothing happened
It was stuck in android boot

You install IceDroid V2 first and then overwrite it... but no, at the moment this is just for developers and tinkerers.

Hi Zorlin how is going ur work ?

Slow... lots of real-life stuff going on. I'll probably publish build instructions on the weekend so others can start contributing.
Haven't forgotten you guys though.

Your signature shows that you have a own kernel for NAND for X1?
What is working etc? maybe you could share it, when it has benefits to the current published ones
EDIT: maybe you could join zargloub and midnight for kernel dev?

Hello @neoofoox.
Working everything except camera, fm radio and bluetooth (atm working on kernel to see where is problem).
Charging/discharging (at last I think it is ok as phone discharge within 20 hours->3.5 yrs old battery<- using push, wifi, bluetooth and location with 10-15 minutes of talking)
Also, phone wake asap You press power, ok or lock button (also with double security using pattern after normal unlocking)
I also don't think that this is right thread for something other than ICS work conversation.
When I got all things working proper, be sure that will make an new thread with image and patches to kernel.
BR,
Ramon
EDIT: Yeah, I will be happy to talk with @zargloub and @midnight regarding kernel.
EDIT2: Regarding sharing, I use only main system of Cyanogen but My own kernel, so as I say, until kernel completely work, I will not share it because of lot's of questions what users cannot fix until I fix holes inside kernel.

@fergy Last question ot jooc Does your phone reboots if you miss a call?

Sorry guys, I might be retiring my Kovsky... I'll publish build instructions and sources etc either way. If you don't hear back from me, assume I retired it
I'm getting fairly hopeful that you'll get decent ICS on the Kovsky soon though.
EDIT: Yup, it's official. I turned in my Xperia X1 in exchange for a free, off-contract Samsung Focus S (which I'm reselling) through the recent Microsoft promotion. I'll still have it for a week - I'm going to try and get ICS on it before then, but I don't really know what chances are like.
After that, I'll turn this over to someone else who can hopefully carry it through.

With these things working it is working perfectly, who need wifi if you can use mobile Data to access Internet and who needs bluetooth if you can send files via Email or connect your Phone via headphone port to your soundsystem etc..
I would test that if it becaume available and will report every bug etc. You could choose some people for testing which know something about that / for reporting bugs. So you can fix them and make the kernel 'perfect'.
Zargloub stopped developing and he has his files on gitorious so you could merge the kernels, here is working bluetooth and wifi (but it shows bad signal strenge)
Are you on github or gitorious so other devs can see what you are doing and maybe can help or people see what you are working on now.
I would love to test it, because for me it is allready perfect I hope we read something from you soon. You are our last hope
EDIT: sp3dev was also working on kernel you can get the sources here and here
EDIT2: I asked sp3dev if he would help, but he cannot for 2 reasons, first he has currently no time, the second reason is that he don't want to work on project which are close-source. Maybe you should think about releasing that before it is completely finished or make it open-source. Your device is old and that slow down the process a lot.
