Announcement:
I am pleased to announce that from now on I will be working with ralle.gade too! He is a kernel dev with a lot more experience than me who can hopefully bring us some really cool stuff
Hey guys,
I've made this thread to share with you my kernel for the Wildfire. It is based on HTC's own kernel, however I have added patches specific to FroYo (to enable sd-ext support, stop screen flicker, enable touchscreen). It also features overclock to 768MHz. The kernel was built for the CM ROMs which I am working on.
You can get the source here. To build it, navigate to the source directory and run the following command:
Code:
make arch=ARM subarch=ARM cyanogen_wildfire_defconfig
You can then run
Code:
make arch=ARM subarch=ARM
to compile the kernel.
You will get a zImage which you can then add to a boot.img for a ROM, as well as a bcm4329.ko WiFi module to be added to /system/lib/modules
I recommend that only developers try this (for now anyway) and the rest of you wait for the devs to release an OC kernel for their ROM.
I have attached a prebuilt zImage (kernel) and wifi module in a zip folder. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS. It is not a flashable zip, but the resources necessary for devs to make a patch of this for their ROM.
The v4 zip attached below can be flashed to ANY ROM without any negative consequences. For devs, the zImage and WLAN module can be found inside if you wish to use it as standard kernel in your ROM.
Changelog - v2:
*Added Ext4 support
Changelog - v3:
*Added BFQ Scheduler (by ralle.gade)
*Added undervolt (by ralle.gade)
*Other patches by ralle.gade (more details can be found in source)
*ralle.gade took yo' 19MHz
Changelog - v4:
*Added AUFS overlay (by ralle.gade) - adb shell or terminal emulator "aufs --enable" to activate system r/w
*Added interactive CPU scheduler. (by ralle.gade)
*ralle.gade gave back yo' 19MHz
*Added newer Wireless driver (with Wireless-N support) (by me)
*Hidden easter egg (unintentionally added by me) - Only works if your ROM has the necessary files (I'm looking at you, adeadrat )
Changelog - v4.1:
*Set default freq. to 245-518 MHz - Should fix booting problems for some people
Changelog - v4.2:
*Update WiFi driver to fix WiFi sleep bug (by zinx)
Known bugs:
*No WiFi on some roms. If it doesn't work on 4.2, use 4.1
If you'd like to donate, use the link in my signature or above my avatar. You can also donate to ralle.gade here. It would be much appreciated
Thanks to:
*adeadrat - for informing me that the OC actually works
*HTC - for releasing their kernel source
*Google & The Android Team - for developing android and making it open source
*Linus Torvalds - Starting development of the open-source linux kernel.
Have a nice day,
HCDR.Jacob
Nice!!

I will compile this myself later on and upload the zImage for developers to add into their ROMs if they want to save themselves time by not compiling it

TNX! Tried too compile the source in the github, with your config.
dont forget make modules
edit,
and oh itś cyanogen_wildfire_defconfig

Good work!
What is the minimum clock set at? Stock or lower? I'm running mine at minimum 122mhz at the moment, works fine. And can the overclocking be modified using SetCPU or is it locked in the kernel somehow?
BTW, have you had the time to look into some undervolting?
I'm fully aware that you're busy with CyanogenMod and other stuff, I'm just a bit curious
Will probably flash the OpenFire rom this evening to try this out
Lots of questions at the same time, I apologize for that
Good work!
It would be nice if someone could make a ROM for us newbees to install.
any try to flash this?
good work jacob. i have been wishing for an OC kernel and here it is absolute legend, and only 16? good work fella

Wait, will these work with Wildpuzzle ROM installed?

thanx jacob!
just made a package for puzzle rom, but im unable to test it yet.. hope girl come home soon
Can we use this with WildPuzzleROM v8 ?

If you look on previous post danne has added something like this in his own thread for Wildpuzzle ROM, i'll test it now.
jacob you make my life complete <3
Hey Jacob,
I have a very importen info about your kernel

The Touch Panel is SYN3KY_01

Your kernel dont work with the SKN3KY_01 touch panel it seems it only works with the AMTEL panel.
The same bug is posted on OpenFire (the kernel is your source) and WildPuzzle (uses your OC kernel in v8.0.4) thread.
The kernel included in the CN RUU supports WiFi Tether and AMTEL + SKN3KY_01 Touch Panel.
Maybe there is a way to dirty hack the newer kernel until htc will release the source.

You can try the kernel file 0050 posted in the WildPuzzle Topic for v8.0.4 but that kernel isnt tested with openfire, i use this kernel atm with WildPuzzle rom and its working great

guys, you can make this kernel overclock for wildpuzzle 7.3.1?

oh itś not working for me.. 0050 it is with wildpuzzle 8.0.1(i think)
edit,
sorry it was 0055 that didnt work. But you cant flash 0050 in openfire. AND I cant unpack or mount boot.img. whatś the fs-type?
Ill look into the screen issue, and for those asking about openfire, its the same kernel

yeah, but it wont start at all with wildpuzzle 0050.
HTC has put the source code of the IS kernel on its developers' page. So, could anyone please compile a OC kernel? I believe I am not the only one expecting a performance boost here... So could anyone please compile such a kernel? Even 1.2GHz will do.
Thank you!!!

l0st.prophet is currently working on one. I'm sure other people are too, or will be soon.
Like the title says just wondering if there was a kernel or even an APK for the Revolution for overclocking. I am using setCPU currently just to throttle when need be but I was wondering if anyone had any luck overclocking. Thanks
We need a kernel dev to manipulate the source code LG just released and release an overclocking kernel. Until then, no overclock.
Got ya. That's what I was expected. Ill wait patiently then. Thanks for the info
Hello there.. can somebody teach me steps to write and make own kernel. I like to OC my device to 1.5GHz.. ive tried SwiftExtreme and NeoBlaze, but have some tiny problem.
When using SwiftExtreme, my device always lag few seconds which leads to hang (have to pull the batt). In NeoBlaze case, whenever i turn-off my device, i cant turn it on but have to pull the batt first.
Please advise. Thank you.

have you ever build an linux kernel? maybe you should read some tutorials about building and compiling an kernel
this is a usefull tutorial about building an kernel for android:
Building an Android Kernel
but to "make" an own kernel you need some good C skills
Never build one.. just would like to add a 1.5GHz oc..

If you have a dig you'll find a thread on building the CM kernel, that would be a good place to start.
also there are "Eternity project" and "VorkKernel" which suports O.C.
Eternity seems to support 1.3 GHz, and VorkKernel 1.4 GHz.
Both of them are open, and have tutorial how to build their kernel as well.
Just wondering if the Linero Code optimizations would have any impact on the captivate and if so, are any ROMS going to be implementing them?
From what I understand the Linaro optimization is a kernel mod not a rom tweak. With that being said Icy Glitch uses an older version of Linaro and he is looking at updating it to the newest version but had problems downloading the source. AOKP has their default kernel as Icy Glitch so maybe in the next update, but not really sure.
This has been a hot topic after the video of the new optimization that was posted.
That is a bit depressing if true.
It was my understanding that it was an optimization to the operating system itself. I really wish they would clarify these things in articles.
Oh well...

Where did you hear this about glitch?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
Read the OP for the icy glitch thread under development, it shows 4.4 linaro was used i believe. In the AOKP thread sixstrings replied to a question about linaro.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I believe Linaro optimizations is both kernel (toolchain) and rom modifications. Glitch does use a older version of said toolchain and I know that DerTeufel1980 and Stratosk where messing with it. Feed back about the actual kernel optimization has been very mixed. i9k semaphore alot of ppl say its amazing. Other devices say not big difference. All I know we have to be patience and wait until your great devs get it set up (all of it) right and really see if this works
