Look I know $20 isn't much but I will donate to the first individual that can compile a frandom.ko module for this phone. Send me a PM.
The source for the module is here.
Thanks
UPDATE: shabbypenguin has compiled his stock/rooted Kernel with a frandom module. It's running butter smooth!
You can download the Kernel here
and crossbreeder here
don't thank me...thank him!! :cyclops:
Hmmm...maybe it'll help to explain what the frandom module accomplishes? frandom will allow you to use crossbreeder to it's full potential. Reducing lag by orders of magnitude over the regular RNG (random number generator). please take a trip over to the crossbreeder thread here for more info.
Not that our phones don't handle lag well. They do. But every little bit helps.
I am possibly mistaken but could you download the seeder app and it do the same thing?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Seeder uses an entirely different approach to RNG. Also please see the comparison between the regular RNG vs Frandom. It's literally orders of magnitude better. check this out.

ok so... you shave about half a second off in one test against urandom. unless im mistaken urandom and frandom still only would be used when loading SSL certificates etc? as in where that half a second would not be needed/noticed

Incorrect sir. Frandom does not limit itself to just SSL. all of this has been asked and answered in that thread. But hey I'm not pushing anyone to use it. I've used it in the past and simply wish to continue to use it on this phone.

im actually trying to understand, as last i knew the urandom stuff that seeder all brought up was dismissed by many people and it was all considered placebo.
the only thing i can find in that thread is that it boosted your entropy values. as well as that to see the improvements you should run the lag test app, but dont expect any kind of results because there is no proof that boosting entropy values improved performance in that test.
so im truly lost on what exactly it does, if i knew and it was worthwhile then id look into trying to make it for us.

When I get home I'll find the SSL answer. I've been using this for about a year and I can tell you crossbreeder isn't placebo. Reach out to the dev in that thread. I'm sure he can be far more technical than me. Making the module is pretty straightforward or so I'm told. You just edit the makefile and compile against the source. After you pull the config from our phone. Hell I freely admit I can't do it. Hence the impetus for this thread. I will say this I am using crossbreeder already with urandom and I'm scoring 13100 + in quadrant. I'd love to see what it does with frandom.

Here is the FAQ from the developer of frandom. He quotes:
"How is random data generated?
frandom is based on the RC4 encryption algorithm, which is considered secure, and is used by several applications, including SSL. Let's start with how RC4 works: It takes a key, and generates a stream of pseudo-random bytes. The actual encryption is a XOR operation between this stream of bytes and the cleartext data stream.
Now to frandom: Every time /dev/frandom is opened, a distinct pseudo-random stream is initialized by using a 2048-bit key, which is picked by doing something equivalent to reading the key from /dev/urandom. The pseudo-random stream is what you read from /dev/frandom.
frandom is merely RC4 with a random key, just without the XOR in the end."
I'm sure there's more out there but I haven't had to research this stuff in a year or more.
PS any chance of making a linaro compatible kernel?
PSS here are screenies of my phone using crossbreeder with just plain ol urandom. Once I get the module I'll just insmod it. I know how to do that at least

many experienced kernel devs have done a lot of research to prove that using diff toolchain has almost no impact, in fact most of the time its purely the optimzations they use that bring about speed improvements. i dont plan on doing a big full kernel and switching toolchains is a bit of work with not a lot of payoff.
and i dont doubt the use for random data on actual linux, but i cant imagine a lot of android apps actually patch into /dev/*random

Got it working on your shabby beta kernel. Hmmm maybe use the MDL source to get it working on current kernels? in any case I'm happy!!
The reason for the failure is my previous insmod was for an MDL kernel I had on. Once I switched to your beta.002 (thank god I never throw out anything) kernel it works like a charm.
So for now I'm running a MDL rom and an MDC kernel...kinda funky...but I'll live with it until we can get one compiled for MDL. lol donation inbound!

Since I've been playing with a few different ROMs lately, and since I've done quite a lot of dabbling with ROM cooking in the past, but prefer to customize my build as I go along rather than make a flashable zip (I'm selfish that way), here are some best practices, most of which are quite easy that I've noticed VERY few devs do (congrats to the ones that do, though!).
1. For Kernel Devs: anything in the /sbin directory that's built into the ramdisk supercedes anything in any other directory. Therefore, if there's a crappy version of su in /sbin, root won't behave as expected. If there's a crappy version of redbend_ua in it, anyone who wants to use commandline to flash stuff will need to call the full path to a new redbend_ua.
Make sure everything in the sbin directory is up to date and the proper version.
2. For Deodexed builds especially: Please. Zipalign EVERYTHING. Including the .jar files in /system/framwork. ESPECIALLY framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. Doing so will not only optimize memory usage but also make the entire experience noticeably smoother and faster.
3. Check the version of busybox and SU that you include with rooted ROMs, if you include a very old or incorrect version (or a not yet supported version) things can get very weird, and applications that require root may not function properly.
4. As one of the people who introduced the playlogos idea to this particular forum, I strongly recommend not using it anymore; doing so can cause a race condition. Pretty much everyone these days is using a custom kernel anyways; put init scripts in init.d. It's the right thing to do.
That's about it. I appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into their ROMs, but I consistently find myself just building stuff from the ground up, to a large extent because of things like this. Make of it what you will, and happy cooking!

Thanks for the post. Just a quick question about zipaligning. I like to modify my framework-res.apk with a combination of various themes, icons, etc. Each time I do this I gather, would it be a good idea to zipalign, or should this only be intended following a recompile of the framework?
What's the basic rule of thumb for zipaligning? I once read that system apps should be neither re-signed nor zipaligned.
I zip-align everything when I theme.. Only time I have ever had a problem was with our cam app...

the second you modify anything in the apk, you need to zipalign. modification unaligns the work zipalign does.
i really don't think there is a case against zipaligning.
This is all quite interesting. I wonder if Metamorph zipaligns after it overwrites the PNGs and direct replaceable XMLs in their compiled form?

Ah, my bad. I stumbled upon the idea independently and didn't realize other people had already figured it out (I should've, only so many ways to do something like that).
OP edited for accuracy.
Also it's been my experience that metamorphs don't seem to break the alignment, though I'm planning on doing some experimentation to see if that's always the case.

makes sense. A lot of builds don't come with zipalign though, but I always just throw it in my /system/bin. Ooh, might add a new (more optional item) to the list: add some of the CM libs and binaries like zipalign, parted, etc.

haven't had this problem, are you also pngopting? The .9s don't need/want to be pngopted, and I've noticed that some apks don't handle png optimization very well (such as the frameworks). Anyways, the whole point of png optimization is to get rid of colors that the screen can't display, but we are in the enviable position of having screens that can display alot of colors that other devices can't, plus we have plenty of space.
Yeah I've been running pngopted.. Oops, just noticed that in my script...

Just to keep the OP short, description and such are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922510
Changes from 3.1.2:
Voodoo Sound v4.
OC the bus slightly at 1.4Ghz, still deciding if it's worth while.
Increase the refresh rate for the GPU. Increases FPS cap to 65. Turn off the screen once after boot to make sure it's working.
Convert Android logger to a module, disabled at boot. insmod /lib/modules/logger.ko to enable.
Enabled charge current readout.
Increase kernel Hz to 1000, seems to smooth things out a little more.

You can use the voltage app to limit the cpu to 1ghz.

I'm trying to avoid maintaining another branch without oc.. The kernel self-limits at boot to 1Ghz, so it should act like a non-OC kernel unless you load up the Voltage Control app and enable some OC states.
What about the voodoo sharpness mod? I'm excited to try out the 1000hz. Did you ever disable the fm module? Did you ever get a rom booting with full preempt like other devices do? I haven't had a chance to mess with it myself. :-(

I haven't done any of the voodoo screen stuff... Never seen a reason to. I might look at it. One of the things I would want to see is a userland control app so people can adjust to what they want, like Voodoo Sound does. The screen is just too subjective. Everyone is going to want something different.
Yes, the FM module is disabled, no significant difference. No, full preempt doesn't boot... still not sure what Samsung did there... I'm still using voluntary preempt.
From what I've seen of Samsung's code and their shortcuts, I suspect something in RFS isn't threadsafe so they broke full-preempt. That's just a guess though, as we don't have source for RFS and they will never give it to us as they think it's valuable..

I like how you put it, "they think it's valuable.." lol
/efs still runs RFS so maybe that's just freaking out when we set the kernel to preempt.
As far as the screen goes, I definitively agree, but he did change more than just the color. He added a sharpness fix and several other settings. But I like the idea of it all being useland controlled.

Not all phones are overclockable. Have you ever been able to overclock your phone?
runs great so far at 1.2
Thanks, That what i did, actually this is the first of the OC kernels th I've bn able to get to1200mhz without the phone locking up. Thanked both of you!!
i haven't been able to successfully overclock this kernel using the voltage app.....if i use setcpu speed i can get to 1.4 ghz easily but anytime i use the voltage app i get a freeze....any suggestions??
EDIT* sorry i meant the previous kernel that the new update
I talked with Supercurio and he tells me the OneNAND driver itself is what's causing the issue with preempt. In order for us to be able to use preempt, we have to either mod the nexus s kernel to work on our phones or backport the OneNAND MTD driver. That way, we stop using the FSR layer altogether. (Wouldn't that also cause an increase in file system performance as the FSR layer causes some mayor slowdowns in fsync?
I love using your kernels as it allows me to underclock.

If you really wanted to do something useful, you would get into improving our current driver situation. We have an open-source camera driver (which wraps the OEM camera driver) in the CyanogenMod tree, but it needs work, especially on the camcorder side (camcorder doesn't focus at present).
There's also still a lot of work needed on the GL side. We have the libgles_qcom.so file from previous ROM images, but it isn't 100% compatible with Gingerbread (missing textures in Quadrant, etc).
The YouTube player sometimes plays audio-only when viewing "HQ" videos. I suspect this is due to a missing video codec and/or related to the above GL issues. We need work done on various codecs.
There's plenty of work to be done in kernel space. The 2.6.35 kernel posted by s0be is significant progress, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. Personally I would like to see more optimizations done on the kernel side because these will benefit all ROM images.
There are also various bugs in CyanogenMod that shouldn't be too difficult to fix, such as notification power widgets disappearing when changing themes. Check their issue tracker on Google Code to find some easy things to fix.
It would be awesome to see a fully-working 2.3.4 ROM image that was 100% AOSP and had completely working drivers. It would certainly make future development much easier and provide a nice base to build other ROM images from.
...oh, wait, that's right. You just want to "port" "tweaks"/themes/nonsense. Try fixing what we have right now before you give us more half-working junk.

Stock+ Kernel
This kernel is based on the HTC 2.6.35 kernel source that was recently released. Just like my Stock+ rom, my goal is to leave this as close to stock as possible while enabling some other useful features.
This kernel is for GingerSense Roms ONLY!
Thanks to tiny4579 for his tips on setting up a build environment. Thanks to Koush for his anykernel update
Click to expand...

This kernel is not made to compete with Tiny's kernels. Tiny's kernels are for people that want more control over their phones with new governors, voltages, OC, etc.
This kernel is for those that like the stock kernel but would like to use the Ext4 mod, connect to 802.11n wireless and maybe use Cisco VPNs and such.
What's Changed From Stock?
Enabled built in Ext4 Support
Included the Tun.ko module (Some VPN software uses this)
Disabled HTC's performance lock (Allows you to underclock/overclock the CPU - This kernel does NOT support overclocking)
Enabled 802.11n support
More info:
If you want to use the Ext4 mod, do all the steps for that first and then flash this last in recovery.
Unless you have the dalvik_moved mod installed, this will take care of wiping dalvik for you.

Gonna use this with the ext4 mod? I think I have one suggestion if you want to hit me up on gtalk later.
Edit. Did I take your third post?

I wasn't planning on changing the mod. I'll catch you on gtalk.
EDIT: After talking to you, I may add that other tweak and include this in the mod. It will save steps and assist with troubleshooting whether an issue is the mod or kernel enhancements. Thanks

Stock+ Kernel
This kernel is based on the HTC 2.6.35 kernel source that was recently released. Just like my Stock+ rom, my goal is to leave this as close to stock as possible while enabling some other useful features.
This kernel is not made to compete with Tiny's kernels. Tiny's kernels are for people that want more control over their phones with new governors, voltages, OC, etc.
This kernel is for those that like the stock kernel but would like to use the Ext4 mod, connect to 802.11n wireless and maybe use Cisco VPNs and such.
What's Changed From Stock?
Enabled built in Ext4 Support
Included the Tun.ko module (Some VPN software uses this)
Disabled HTC's performance lock
Enabled 802.11n support

I figured that AOSP had plenty of kernel choices. Do none of them have the 802.11n enabled? If not, I can give it a shot. The incredible will max out at about 72Mbps on n.
Thanks for reminding me to add "GingerSense Only" to the OP!
Wow, this was timely. I just did the 2.5 -> 2.6 yesterday and now I get the "Low on space" error all the time. I was coming to XDA to do the Ext4 mod which I read about yesterday and now I find you've, perhaps, simplified the process for me.
I'm a little confused by the note that says, "If you want to use the Ext4 mod, do all the steps for that first and then flash this last in recovery.". Does that mean I should still flash Ext4 (choosing one of the 3 options from that process)? I wasn't sure if Enabled built in Ext4 Support might not actually meant that the Ext4 mod is already included in this zip.
Sorry for the newb-ish questions. I've been running a stock Incredible for almost a year before flashing your 2.5 ROM. I was a ROM-flashing fool with Windows Mobile but was enjoying running something stock that was actually decent, at least until I got sick of waiting for HTC to fix the Gingerbread release.
Thanks!

Ok. So for you the next step would be to download this kernel and the ext4 no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod (my recommendation) to your sdcard. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Then flash the ext4 mod, followed by this kernel and boot it up. You should be good to go after that without the warnings.
Let me know how it goes.

you and tiny rock. right now incredikernel does not have n. as for topping out at 72Mbps. thats fine the router i bought is a dual band so n is on 1 and a/b/g is on 2.
never used n so it would be nice to use my router fully

I totally understand. I need to finally bite the bullet and get a new router that supports n.

main reason i bought it was because i thought my inc had it enabled but it didnt. plus it was on sale and my old router would drop my laptop connection when playing a game online. (but then i found out it wasnt the router but the cheap moto modem my IPS gave us.)
its nice to have our laptops run on one band and the rest of our crap on the other like google tv, roku box that is in the bedroom, and the blu ray player.
i got this one
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/prod...0000003142050&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=15539745
i like it because of the USB hub it has built in so i can download movies to my HD that is attached and anyone on the network can view them or copy them to there pc.

Thank you! Good info.
Pardon me if this is a ridiculous question but how can I tell that the wireless N capabilities are being used? I am running McSense 2.5 if that makes a difference.

You can go into Settings-->Wireless and Networks-->Wi-Fi Settings and touch (not long-press) the access point that you're connected to. If it's an 802.11n capable router, and you're close to it, you should get speeds of up to 72Mbps listed in that dialog. 802.11g only goes up to 54Mbps so without n, that would be the highest it could be.
i know ext4 is a filesystem, but what does the mod do? and why is whatever it does useful?
also what is this performance lock that is disabled?
Oh s**t! Look at this guy lol just going beast on the forums these days. Might have to grace McSense with this, will see what tweaks you got in the works. Oh and congrats on the 1K.

It allows underclocking the CPU. Pasted from here:
FAQ:
What is Perflock Disabler?
HTC added a "perflock" in their stock kernels to prevent over/underclocking. SetCPU's Perflock Disabler, like its name implies, disables this restriction.

1st of all you can't put a number on it since it depends on what your doing and what apps your using
2nd Apps only read from /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom when they need highly accurate random data. Usually used for stuff like encryption. (The author even added this security flaw as a note)
EDIT: The authors 90% is about possible causes from lag not speed it up by that factor.
Fake as f*ck. Read google's official replay.
EDIT:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/
Conclusion: you get the same effect with wiping 3 times before flashing new rom.

Only watched up until he said theres a app that might do that,but it still doesn't make a difference.
If you need less random data the app would use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random to get less random data (the app pulls data from urandom into random).
The only processes that use /dev/random are wpa_supplicant/hostapd and libcrypto. In both instances it's used for security reasons.
Like I said before. It would make a bigger difference by just not using SSL to transmit data than to use this app.
Arcee said it very clear: This sh*t is the equivalent to picture the flames on your car doors and hammer a 2 by 4 planck on the trunk's lid to make your car go faster.

After watching the first few sentences, it is clear the guy has absolutely no freaking idea what pseudo-random or random mean. I really hate it when people "explain" stuff they know absolutely nothing about to others. It's despicable. They should have stuck to "hey, it feels faster"-like comments.
There is new lag fixer app. Please look into it.
