[Discontinue][no wifi n][default 518][fix hotspot] kernel based on CM7 & HCDRJacob's
The kernels based on source from CM7 & HCDR Jacob's v4.2. I built the kernels to resolve wifi drop due to my 'bad' router, which i had, is not compatible with wifi N mode of wildfire. Here is the sharing for those have facing similar issue with 'bad' router.
The following are the changes made:
Disable Wifi N mode (included in all mod changed kernels)
Boot up with default max 518MHz and min 245Mhz cpu frequency (included in all HCDR mod changed)
Apply same configuration as v4.1 to wifi driver, should be compatible with most froyo ROMs (included in HCDR mc2)
wifi hotspot fix for Sense ROM. (included in nFinity mc2/3)
update frequency table from #40. 480MHz return and 19MHz go away. (included in nFinity mc3)
Fixed FM Radio with Sense. (included in nFinity mc4)
Merged from based: add smaller footprint TinyRCU. Add missing cache routine. (included in nFinity mc4)
Out of curiosity, i compiled kernel from CM7.1.0.1 with wifi N disabled. Not tested on Sense rom(buzz-kernel-2.6.35mc1.zip)
Known issue:
FM radio will cripple the system on Sense ROM with nFinity mc# kernel.
LED sometime won't blink when receive messages.
Note: Only nFinity mod change 2+ has the wifi hotspot fixed for Sense ROM. Other kernels may has the infamous wifi hotspot issues.
HCDR mod change 1 is recommended for CM7 RC2 user. It seems much smoother.
Arco's nFinity kernel mod change 1 is for CM7 RC4+ only.
nFinity kernel mod change 2+ based on CM7 final.(Make sure is not flash from HCDR kernel.) Enjoy smartass governor with your Sense ROM
Credits to arco68's (CM7) & Jacob's (HCDR) team for the base kernel..
It is regretful that I have to stop this kernel development as my wildfire is given to my family. It was fun when I start to work on this kernel. Thank you for those who supported this kernel.
I would recommended the kernel from DK Custom if you looking for alternative kernel for Sense.
Shared my modded new kernel. So far seems working well on my phone with dk's sense rom but i yet test if it working well on cm7.
Enjoy smartass governor and overclock without breaking wifi hotspot on your sense rom.
this is perfect.
What do you mean by bad router? I'm using CM7 and lately I only get 1-2 bar on wifi signal (normally I got almost full bar). Is that how you define 'bad'?
CM7's kernel default setting should be using lower power profile for wifi to save battery power. That may be the reason that you getting less signal strength.
For my router, it is one of the first batch of Wifi-N mode product which known as draft N. This mode is not official spec, some of those routers has inferior design of Draft Wifi-N which maybe cause packet drop. For my case, i experience no wifi activity although with full bar. Hence, i reverted the driver to Wifi b/g only.

what do you mean by that?
i have cm7 stable installed and i want to install this kernel. which of these five kernels that are listed there should i choose?
and how to flash it, because you say that it mustn't be flashed with HCDR kernel installed or what? do i have to instal some other kernel(htc stock for example) before flashing or not?
thanks for the reply. you've done a great job, thats the thing i need.
If your on cm7 stable do not flash the HCDR kernel, you will break some features and there is no need the kernel in c7 is stable and smooth.

yes, but the wifi doesnt work on my belkin n-draft router!
@johensen: i tried froyo sense rom+ nFinity kernel mc2 and the wifi doesnt work
my brother has samsung galaxy tab with froyo 2.2 and wifi works normally with belkin draft-n router...
Because HDCR kernel version replace file which break interface to original driver. Hence it break compatible to other kernel unless u restore those file back.
Back to your issue, what is the symptom? It printed 'error' or can't detect or stuck at connecting?

I use DK Rom and nfinity mc3 kernel.
I have problem with fm radio.
It won't start
It started on my phone, but it seems to be some memory leak. I will look into it when I have time.
on belkin draft n router it says connecting... and then obtaining ip adress...and then disconnected.
on lynksys it connects to the router, but when i open the browser or something it just doesnt work, it says no network connection even though the wifi icon is showing connection.(the same story with linksys is on my brother's galaxy tab, but linksys works on sony vaio laptop. this linksys router also worked on my two android devices a month ago. now it isn't working on android devices, but works on sony vaio laptop, but i haven't changed nothing.)
i would be very happy if it worked on belkin draft n router, because i think it is possible to fix this, because on galaxy tab froyo 2.2. it works!
thank you for your work
@zelda89: Issue fixed in mc4 released.
@belakaca: Is the galaxy tab froyo 2.2 running on n mode? How about stock kernel? It has same problem too? I still scratching my head. Maybe you could double check your router setting.
I am using [email protected] #6 with Wildpuzzel ROM. I use standard Wifi and also ad-hoc wifi (pc-to-pc). It worked perfectly with both
On cm7 ROM I tried buzz-kernel-2.6.35 (available at cm7 nightly thread) but my mobile it failed to connect with ad-hoc Wifi. I think the issue is related to kernel and can be resolved with by flashing better kernel.
pleas suggest a better kernel for cm7 or any of nFinity kernels with strong wifi for cm7?
EDIT:
OK arco68 Just replied to mein CM7 thread about ad-hoc connection issue. it doesn't seems to relate with kernel but the ROM. Check this post for possible solution suggested by arco68
how do i overclock using this kernel?
I am using infinity mc4
EDIT: Found that I can use SetCPU to overclock.
Thanks a lot johnseen99 i just flashed HCDR.Kernel_v4.2mc1_Flashable.zip and it fixed BSSI (adhoc) wifi connectivity issue on CM7.
I was looking for solution for long time but did not flashed any kernel, I thought its problem with ROM.. Just got the idea to check if other CM7 supported kernel can resolve this problem.. and it worked.. great job!!
I cant recommend this kernel with froyo stock rom in any way. It makes my wildfire smotther but the battery almost dies in 18h prior 50h with stock kernel.
Thanks for your work anyway.
Does anyone else experience that the green notification light sometimes will stay on (instead of blinking) untill you select the new message or what so ever?
I don't know if it has to do with the smartass governor? i have kept minimum at 352mhz.
On HCDR kernel I didn't get the above...
which ROM has stable wifi hotspot/netfilter enabled?
i've installed netfilter module on GingerDX14 but my laptop still can't conect with my X8..
and my galaxy mini couldn't discover it
please help me,i really want it as mobile hotspot

Did you look at this?
No rom support tethering. It 's all about kernel.
Stock kernel does not support tethering. U can use barnacle wifi tethering. Otherwise you can flash new kernel that supports wifihotspot and then you can use any rom.
sorry for my bad english

if all about the kernel,barnacle wifi tethering should not work on all rom..
i'm still waiting new kernel which support this one and also real DT for my sypnatic
thanks
check that rom it has its own kernel and hotspot is working on it.
Maybe that is what you want.

Barnacle works in all roms. I used it with froyobread, gingerdx and minicm7 without problem. I think that not use kernel 's iptables. Search the market for this app and specs. (Sorry, cannot post link external link yet)
What are the best ICS roms that support wireless tethering?
I've got cm9 but stock tethering and wireless tether and barnacle tether don't work
Someone must know of an ICS i9000 ROM that supports wifi tethering?!
SLIM

Hi, I think it depends on the kernel than on the rom, and in that case sempahore is a great choice !!
I'm using ICS333 wit Semaphore 1.2.0s and it works !!
I currently have 2.3.6 GB on my phone(I9000) with this I can use hidden Wifi networks! But ICS and JB roms I cannot use hidden Wifi networks, they always stop at authentication and give authentication error, normal Wifi networks work perfectly. My friend has ICS on his Galaxy S III and he can use this hidden Wifi. What can be the problem?

I never had any problem connecting to my not broadcasting wifi network.
reflash jvu+cfroot with wipes and flash the rom u want
i recommend
for ics: SLIMICS
for jb:elitemovil or paranoidandroid... i prefer elite's rom
I have a problem with CM roms, had it before with CM7.1 and now with 10.1. I can't get the data connection to work.
I am currently on the latest nightly 10.1-20130110_NIGHTLY-p990, BB LGP990AT-00-V30a-EUR-XXX-NOV-30-2012+0, kernel is 2.6.39.4-CM+. Before I had BB version LGP990AT-00-V20s-EUR-XX-MAY-21-2012+0_CP and it did't work either.
I have also installed other nightly's as well and couldn't get the data connection to work. All the network settings are correct, and data connection works with official GB ROM and [ROM][Stock][ICS] LG P990 Stock ICS flashable zip by harsh & tonyp (based on v28g) which I also tried and am currently using.
I am on ERONET network in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
