PKP-Rhinstone & other things - HTC Desire 510

HEY GUYS
SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW ME
BUT IN CASE YOU DONT
hi der​
ive changed the thread title and stuff because im gonna be posting more than just my kernels here from now on,including test dtb's,test hboots and other things,also making it into sorta a "diary" when i work on things,including post code snippets for when i work with some of the other devs on projects.
working on using kexec to load a custom dtb. i have modified tasssadars kexec tools to support a11. need someone with the know-how to compile it. https://github.com/pattyboi/kexec-tools
working on porting caf 3.10. those interested can find my repo here: https://github.com/pattyboi/3.10-a11/
gonna need help with it. if you know what your doing,hit me up.
Rhinstone features: ​new thermal (franciscofranco's)
new hotplug (decimalmans autohotplug)
soundcard control,aka boosting and such (zeroblade1984s tamod sound control driver)
bfq io scheduler optimized for emmc/nand storage (khaon)
optimized interactive governor thanks to many people
optimized simpleondemand gpu governor thanks to blechdose
most motorola kernel optimizations
most DKP kernel optimzations (including overlocking the i2c driver subsystem) ((decimal mans gs3 kernel,highly suggested if you have the device))
compiled with the latest sabermod arm 5.1 toolchain with graphite gcc options and tuned for cortex a7
memcpy combined from motorola and hglm's patches (https://github.com/hglm/test-arm-kernel-memcpy/)
removed A LOT of debug,including most htc debug and sensor self tests or useless functions
adreno idler (arter97)
uksm with all of the dkp optimizations
some upstream linux kernel updates to misc parts of the kernel
cache & neon updates (xboxfanj)
built in fast charge (alim.p)
con kalivas linux tweaks
many other misc code optimizations that would clutter the op,the kernel is fast in my opinion,and battery life is much better than standard kernel,i will be reimplementing f2fs and exfat soon..kernel was rebased and forget to pull them in
BIG THANKS TO: everyone. especially those inside my thread who have kept people from getting confused while using the kernel and also @protectivedad who created the flashable wifi zip. also a huge shout to the android community and all the devs i havent thank in the other part of this post
IVE ONLY TESTED ON MY CRICKET MODEL.
DO NOT FLASH IMMEDIATLY,"fastboot boot "release-date".img",if all goes well and you have no issues then run "fastboot flash boot "release-date"img" to permanetly flash it,THEN YOU NEED TO FLASH THE WIFI ZIP,just flash it through twrp,thx to @

hi der
so,as everyone knows,this phone is FAR from a perfomance monster ATM...(big things are coming)
and everyone knows cm has the camera issue,which is keeping alot of people back from using it
so for everyone on stock,heres my kernel,rhinstone...(yes,spelled wrong,i like it that way)
ive tried merging in things that would specifically help make the phone more EFFICENT,NOT BALLS TO THE WALL 420 CRAZY NO SCOPE PERFORMANCE.
its got intelliplug,new thermal,removed B.S., blah blah
but being real,this should drastically increase your phones performance,ive worked hard on setting this up,and while keeping everything working and stable (so far)
so enjoy! the changlog is my github source,ill post here every once and awhile too just to ease the explaining
ITS FOR STOCK ONLY. IVE ONLY TESTED ON MY CRICKET MODEL.
DO NOT FLASH IMMEDIATLY,"fastboot boot image-new.img",if all goes well and you have no issues then run "fastboot flash boot image-new.img" to permanetly flash it
CREDITS: EVERYONE THAT APPEARS IN MY GITHUB,THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE PUT HARD WORK IN MAKING MODS FOR THE 8226 BOARD,AND POSTING THEM FOR US TO ENJOY & EVERYONE WHO ISNT UP THERE AS WELL,THANK ALL OF YOU ​

I'm Curious About The Cameras Working As Well And Also If Any Has Tried It On Virgin?

They work for me,mileage may very of course but everything works fine on nosense for me

Is write protection removed?

Good to go for Boost users, so Virgin should have no problems either. Flashed on my Boost with no issues. Both cameras work. Write protection is removed. Only problem is that the default camera app will not save pictures, so use a third party app like Camera Zoom FX or something. Videos still do not save, so dont bother with those. Its a strange issue with the other kernels and nobody knows why.
Explanation: because HTC...
When can we expect governors? And if I here one more thing about DBT I swear I'll punch a kitten

Ummm...now when you say "more efficient"...
I don't think you know what that word means
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything, the intelliplug certainly seems to be doing its job while watching the CPUs with 3c Toolbox. And I know Quadrant scores only tell PART of the story. But you said this kernel should "drastically increase performance". Taking a look at the CPU score alone compared to stock (even CM!) is unconvincing

I got 2971.

OK...found the koolness, Quadrant scores forgiven (for now)
In 3c Toolbox there are now GAMMA and SPEAKER settings. Yus plx!
BTW, probably should mention that in the OP

I think the coolness is the fact that both cameras are working WITH WRITE PROTECT REMOVED! W00T!

does this also allow for app to SD?

If you mean will it allow you to use foldermount to mimic obb files on internal SD card...simple answer:
F**K YES!

WELP
Cameras work, system protection is gone, and overall very happy! (Just switched back to stock from CM11)
Installed Link2SD with an EXT3 partition on my SD card not that it's being used.
Mainly using Link2SD just to install apps as system apps which clears up a TON of space (why does this phone have almost 2 gigs free in system partition!!??
Also integrating updates into system apps.
Thanks for the kernel!

I see possibilities here. Before, we couldn't use a custom kernel without borking our cameras. Is there a way to get pattyboi on with rbheromaxx, shinru and yourself in getting a fully working cm kernel with working cameras. I have a github account but i haven't the foggiest on how to build from scratch. I will try to help as much i can and together maybe we can submit it cyanogen and have them take over and start getting nightlies!
Just a thought lol

Good to hear! I'm sure things will start kicking off now!

i dont run benchmarks tbh so idk what the deal is with the scores,not to sound rude but "i dont care" i just judge off how my device feels to me personally obviously ;P and to me it feels snappier and all those other buzz words :silly: but i will download quadrant and do some runs for the next couple of things im gonna try
oh and btw,shoutout to shinru and rbhero,they are the ones that got write protection off,i just cherry-picked the commits :d
and for governors,i really dunno,what would you guys like me to add?
oh,for next release im probably gonna try a new saber toolchain,long as it dont break anything
and finally,for anyone wondering im in a skype chat with rbhero shinru and kalisto,im not a magician so the big stuff tbh has kinda been on shinru,kalisto and rbhero,but i will be trying to help out with anything they do

No problem dude, not rude. I completely understand. Like I said Quadrants don't tell the whole story. It IS smooth. How much smoother than stock? Can't really tell from the surface honestly. Otherwise it performs just as well as stock.
Its main feature that's excited me is finally being able to emulate files from my external to internal storage with foldermount. I'm a hardcore 1337pr0 gamer junkie and was disappointed I wasn't able to before, so props bro! I'll definitely be running the paces on this thing finally. rbheromax can atest that I know how to beat a phone into submission

I have already forked the source and started using it as a base. Progress can be tracked under branch cm-12.0
https://github.com/rbheromax/Rhinstone-a11/commits/cm-12.0
@pattiboi I added prima to my kernel tree fork. i think you may need that later down the road
config options being:
Code:
#
# Qualcomm Atheros Prima WLAN module
#
# CONFIG_PRIMA_WLAN is not set
CONFIG_PRONTO_WLAN=y
# CONFIG_PRIMA_WLAN_BTAMP is not set
CONFIG_HTC_WIFI_NVS=y

# CONFIG_PRIMA_WLAN_11AC_HIGH_TP is not set
# CONFIG_WLAN_FEATURE_11W is not set
# CONFIG_QCOM_VOWIFI_11R is not set
stray from that (specifically LFR), it'll fail to build

[Kernel][Patch][Stable] IDLE2 for S5PV210 (v0.391) (Improved Deep Idle/LPAUDIO)

Update (10/09/2012):
IDLE2 v0.391 - details here.
Known issues:
Bluetooth sometimes doesn't work correctly in rare cases on some devices. I've done all I can with this. Whenever I test it, it works. So this one is going to be for the community to solve, should anyone wish to fix it.
Excessive battery drain during suspend. Unsure why this occurs, I'm investigating. It actually uses less battery if you kill suspend by holding a wakelock. This suggests to me that the device is 'pretending' to go into suspend, it *is* freezing tasks and calling wfi, but I suspect the SoC isn't being powered off, which may be a syscon issue. Time to do more TRM reading.
Update (09/09/2012):
Current version v0.390, which I'm also going to declare stable. It *may* still have minor bugs, but the blockers are definitely fixed, such as the kernel panics and lockups. The code churn is also over, as the implementation is looking good and cheap.
Development is now in this branch.
Changes here, here and here.
I also deleted a load of old crap from below.
Update (30/08/2012):
Still too busy / lazy to update the first post. Actually getting the damn thing working takes priority.
Current development is all taking place in this branch.
Current version (v0.370) highlights:
It actually saves power now after I fixed a few bugs causing stupidly low residencies.
Enabled continually. TOP block will be left on unless the screen is off, or the USB is plugged in.
CPU frequency set to 800MHz at all times whilst screen off
Tons of code re-written / refactored / deleted / reinvented.
Plenty of code comments added.
Statistics exported to /sys/kernel/debug/idle2/statistics (note the changed path) - Enable in menuconfig (CONFIG_S5P_IDLE2_STATS) (Would be better if this were disabled for 'stable' builds). I will probably remove it once IDLE2 is declared stable.
Hot path code is now cheap as chips.
IDLE / resume stuff reworked to use the S5P platform suspend code instead of specific assembly.
Blah blah blah. Probably loads more, but I forget, I've rewritten 90% of the code 2 or 3 times now, but I've learnt a lot.
Ignore the majority of the below, it's old and inaccurate. Perhaps I will update it sometime.
Any sensible questions regarding the code, ask in the thread.
No n00bs and no moronic questions please, think before post.
Patches and improvement suggestions are more than welcome, particularly now I think the code churn has stopped.
Credits and copyright of IDLE2 v0.3xx:
Originally, the majority was a port of code from Samsungs 2.6.32 P1000 kernel, hence Samsung retained the copyright because the changes were minor.
This is no longer the case as the current status of v0.3xx is that the vast majority of it, over 90%, is original code written by me as I have completely reworked and rewritten pretty much everything.
Describing it as a 'port' is not appropriate either, as it's not a port, it's a completely fresh implementation which has pretty much nothing in common with Samsungs LPAUDIO or Ezekeels didle, other than it achieves the same thing, arguably in a more robust and cheaper way, utilising as much common code as possible such as the platform suspend code.
IDLE2 was inspired by:
Samsungs P1000 kernel (my original port)
OMAP3/4 cpuidle
NVIDIA T2/3 cpuidle
S5PV210 TRM
There are a few portions of code in idle2.c which bear resemblance to the code in Samsungs 2.6.32 kernel, such as the defines and struct for the device checks, the memory allocation in idle2_post_init(), the gpio code in s5p_enter_idle2(), checks for activity in MMC/OneNAND et al, but the rest is entirely my work.
In short: The MMC & OneNAND activity check and the GPIO power down are Samsung code with modifications, but that is the extent of Samsung copyright.
Wilful kanging, not clearly giving proper credits and not contributing back is extremely unwelcome.
Open source is not about copying other peoples work, a principle which some developers don’t get.
The GPL was never designed for the purpose of copying code verbatim and riding on other peoples work, it was designed to allow freedom of code, a continual cycle of improvement and peer review, so consider that please and if you aren't prepared to work like that, perhaps consider the reasons why you are actually 'developing' and releasing stuff on here.

If you want to try it out, right now, it's in my latest kernel release, which is available here. Info on my blog here.
Can you be so kind to update your first post and tell us how we use the patch files???
I would like to link to your thread from my tutorial how to compile a kernel.
This way we can teach more people to make kernels and they can make their own also.

Astonishing work Thalamus. Ill be testing this as soon as possible, which means not now since its 4am and I just watched the new Batman.
Ill throw out some numbers as soon as I get some sleep, though I very much like some of the improvements you've made. I have high hopes.

Right on with that. Cannot wait to test this myself. It's a bit sad the development gets so far after the Nexus S gets "phased out" with the release of the Google Nexus. Not exactly its primetime, even though some releases here are top quality material. I cannot imagine someone would be deceived by all this, finally getting DI stable.
ALSO
You guys get the new Batman already? I'm jealous. Gotta wait until the 20th... *shakes fist*
Awesome contribution! I love seeing new kernel patches. Will try it out.
It seems I have a bug which breaks bluetooth audio streaming.
The good news, I know exactly what is causing it. The bad news, I don't really have any way of testing it because I don't own such hardware.
So, anyone who has got a bluetooth headset and can test a fix for me, please PM me.
So, the bluetooth issue is now fixed, thanks to Randomwalker for testing it so promptly.
IDLE2 version is now v0.130 and I have updated my kernel with the fix and released 3.0.37-18.
Info on the fix and kernel here.
When it's 100% stable I will try porting the patches to other devices as well.

It is stable. Stability of idle2 is not an issue.
'Porting' won't be required, it should work on any S5PV210 device as is and S5PC110 devices with small alterations to the file paths / Kconfig. It's pretty generic. At the worst, you might have to fix a few conflicts, but that is about it.
The bugs I have fixed today were related to bluetooth audio streaming and the LED torch, neither were a reflection on the stability of the idle2 code, just things that were missed during testing, because myself and the people who tested for me can't test every corner case.
Very nice. Just have a few questions:
Is this a full stand alone kernel? Or like a patch you flash over your existing kernel to add this new feature?
Sorry if I don't make much sense, still kind of noob.

The patch is something you include in your code if you're compiling a kernel, it cannot be flashed over a kernel, like in a ROM.
There is however a kernel available which contains the patch, among others, which is also developed by _thalamus.

on my i9023 and Remics rom it seems that there's more battery drain than INK (the version with DI by fear).
Btw I didn't try while listening music so I don't know if it is kernel related or something else

'seems that there's more battery drain' isn't massively helpful to be honest. More detail would be appreciated, such as some figures compared to a previous one of *my* kernels.
I'm not sure if there is an issue or not at the moment, looking at the time the device is spending in suspend makes me think that there isn't a problem, but if someone can show me that there is, I will look into it.

[DISCONTINUED][KERNEL][EXP][L4.7][08.18] CyanogenMod+

Works in CM10 and other CM10-based ROMs.
Philosophy:
- Experimental > may not be stable.
- Based on CyanogenMod's kernel base and built with Linaro 4.7.
- Handpicked performance patches and mods kept to a minimum.
- Interactive governor - the way Google wants us to use Android.
- Bull**** free, no flashy words to induce placebo & no time lost in search for the everchanging "perfect threshold/tunables".
This kernel has been discontinued, I'm now using AOSP stock with thalamus kernel + BLN.

You've write a mistake. Linaro isn't used by Google, because he is juged "instable", Google use her own clone, named Project Butter for JB .
Bln is great feature for nexus, but do you think about adding bld also? Don't think of this as a req or anything, just asking because I love bld, it makes phone so much more elegant, so to now could we expect bld in the future releases.... Thanks mate...

First of all: Thanks for the kernel! Trying it with JB AOSP and seems to be stable (not tried that much yet).
One question: does anybody know a tool to activate CM BLN for an AOSP rom? To make this clear: I'm not asking for integrating BLN into this kernel

Great, thanks! Will try.
EDIT: Installation works, but CM BLN do not work. Trying now CM10 unofficial.
BLN works in CM9, I could've added the version compatible with every ROM but meh. Same goes for BLD and touch wake. I'm somewhat lazy, especially because I believe thalamus will reconsider the BLN feature, thus rendering the side development of this kernel useless.
This kernel is aimed to please a niche: CM and thalamus kernel users who miss BLN. For a full featured kernel perhaps I'll come back when JB is out.
Guys does it work with isc or only jb. Thnx in advance
Installed it on Unofficial CM10 and it's great. Performance is nice and smooth Btw, when i installed the kernel, Ondemand was selected as standard governor, is that in purpose? Thought you wanted Interactive to be standard.
BLN isn't working on CM10, but meh you wrote it in the OP so no big surprise.
Thanks

Yeah, it is overridden in either init.rc or init.herring.rc in the stock rom to ondemand, surprisingly enough.
Even Google know interactive is crap and expensive on crespo, which is why they override it.
---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
I must admit, I'm glad you haven't just taken my nice clean source and filled it with crap though. That would have made me unhappy.
BLN I can cope with, but no, I will never add it to my kernel, unless I choose to rewrite it of course.

Aye, init.herring.rc: "write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand", line 31.
Even on Jellybean this remains so. I guess they either forgot to change it or there must be a reason to favour ondemand during boot. It just doesn't make sense undergoing through all the trouble to boost and work on interactive, including on Nexus S stock kernel, and then not using it. As for the theoretical higher energy consumption due to the more aggressive ramping, I've been reading reports from Samsung Galaxy Nexus users that are reporting better battery in Jellybean stock kernel with Interactive against custom kernels in ICS. While this may be due to other changes, it certainly doesn't discourage the use of 4.1's Interactive. I also don't believe Google would deliberately and significantly hurt battery performance. I've always defended the position that governor's ramping speed, while an undeniable variable, is also overrated. From my point of view, we can sacrifice 2-4% of higher energy consumption in exchange to a more pleasant and stutter-free experience.
As for the BLN, I do hope you'll include it soon!

Official ARM. Project Thread

Hello O2X Community,
I am here to announce ARM. which will be on your device! This thread is for you to discuss about which ever kernel specific features you want. Of course, here are the ARM. specific features that will be included:
- Based Official CyanogenMod Sources with ICS Drop
- Dimmed LED for more Battery Life
- Undervolted clock rates for more battery savings
- Deep sleep surpasses minimal clock rate for further sleep savings to increase battery life
- Optional Overclock for performance
- Minor GPU Overclock without increasing battery drain
- Maximum minimum brightness to save battery at night
- Various Phone hardware modules undervolted for more battery life
Compatible with all CM10 Based ROMs
Seeing all of those features, it means that we aim for Power and Performance
Please discuss about how you want us to work on the kernel. Note that a Stock ICS version will be developed after the CM's final version/build.
Note that we do not accept bugs posted right to the thread. Submit it to the github instead.

hey, thanks for your work guys!
here's a list of features i miss from old GB kernels:
- a cpu governor that will disable the 2nd core when the screen is off (basically the hotplug governor main feature applied to interactive/conservative ones)
- a way to let us choose at wich frequency and after how many seconds the 2nd core should turn on and off
- simple i/o (SIO) scheduler
- a slightly ram overclock
- ramhack if possible 0-32-48-64(-80-96)MB (i think it's not atm?)
- every other specific and/or general tweak you can think of
ps: should you open a parallel thread in the dev section?
Make the led light as a notification light
When can we expect these to see running on our phone

Ok. Whatever is said is said, but of course, hotplug wilk be joining in, and pegasusd, since its another power saving governor for dual cores. And RAM hacks are not applicable for ARM.
About tweaks, they will be added.(Of course)
Lastly, I want you to know that its scheduled for January. But I will try my best to complete by New Year's Eve. Lastly, I am finding another developer to maintain this device. Please PM.

this here sounds very interesting to be honest nicholaschw and i would like to see everything u wrote down for this phone bcs if it can also help extend battery life that would be awesome while boosting it, bcs i still don't feel this phone is out of date, bcs u still got dual-core processor and a nvidia graphic chip that can still do good and play 1080p through hdmi ^^
Great announcement,looking forward to.
+1
Lets just say harsh is a dev. If you are, PM me asap. This is because i want two maintainers at the same time (1 of them is me) because i have to see to other phones also.
I assure you i will work on this fully.
Optimus black, your near partner is nearing final release. Once its done, you will expect my full concentration to o2x.
I hope i enjoy deving here. report bugs as soon as a new release is out. that way, your stable ARM. will be here in no time!
Final member needed, Alpha tester, required to be online when i am and must be skype-able. This tester tests each and every build. He must be well versed in exiting soft brick as fast as possible
USB OTG is too much work? I dont know if it can be ported from others Tegra2 devices.
Waiting for this!!!
is there any developer visiting general section i think no developer see this interesting project that nicholas starting

Welcome over to the O2x nicholas,
with Tonyp and hopefully Harsh being here too, we'll see a solid kernel in no time.
thanks for your help and interest, this is going to be awesome!
to add to list of possible features,
not very important, but its nice to have. a option to change the HDMI output. having it working automatically is great. but sometimes i'd like to chose what size a Screen im watching. .. this may be a feature in the rom more so than the kernel im not sure. =P
Tony, i sure will be commiting to CM if i can Now, if you can please help us, PM me, i will add you into git to push. Please inform harsh also
Ok. The timeline has been planned with my team. We will schedule our first build and commit this coming week, and, once we reach a stable build, we move on to a kernel controlling app. Note that before the app is out, you can use AOKP (must be based off CM) to control voltage and etc.
Its almost here. Get ready.

Second the USB OTG support, even if it disables the SD card temporarily.
Some descriptions with the options, some users (including me) have no clue what some of the options actually mean.
A "nitros widget" like CPU boost would be great, to enable a different CPU profile easily.
Ok. Heres the deal to my favourite community. The reason why i picked O2X, because i can see potential Ok, the Thread i will be creating will include how to use some features of the kernel. This allows newbies to also use the kernel.
Developers i need your help too. Any thing you want me to do, post here! Non devs, tell me kernel bugs in CM, i try to help aremcee!
Currently main bug in cm is call audio bug.
Arcee is already working on that, but if you solve it, it will be very helpful to boost this forum. Other bug is slow charging..
And we have another bug called BSOD.

Whoa there are still people here in this forum! Look at the future changelog for r2 I would've preferred adding these to r1 but I don't own a Vivid so other people will have to test those features to make sure that they work.

For jellybean...your gonna want to base the source off this https://github.com/htc-msm8660/android_kernel_htc_msm8660 it contains a lot of fixes that the outdated kangbang source doesn't have...
Btw, great to have another dev around look forward to your work...maybe you can help with the call volume issues since your used to MSM8660 devices...then again our vivid seems to always have unique fixes

I didn't want to use Intervigilium's source because Intervigilium decided to make his source as close to stock as possible. What that means is no voltage control, overclock, GPU overclock, etc., basically nothing unique. Also, since I don't actually own a Vivid, patching that source with all those features would be difficult because I'd have to be testing everything after adding a feature (to make sure that it's working properly and that it boots up).
I also looked at the commit history and there isn't any fix that's crucial or necessary for the Holiday, so there is no downside to using KangBang source. If I find a commit that's interesting in Intervigilium's commit history then I'll just patch the KangBang source with it.

R1 already has frandom support Most of the performance features from my Sensation kernel are in r1, but there are still a few left that I'll have you all test.

so its different to the test3 you sent earlier... thee goo. im server is currently down... either way cant wait.
kernel tuner tells me that mpdecision turns off... knowing the issues with the senny il uninstall it and keep an eye with system panel lite instead
antutu gave me a score of 8192 on your test3 release with 1566mhz cpu

"Server Offline. Please hang tight while we get this resolved."
just got home... oh well happy to wait :victory:
also you probably may want to include the original crossbreeder link to your op as not many kernels support it and not many even knowing about it:

as i'm selling both my sensations, i never really got to try that swap you added.. will read about it in the other thread.. i'm guessing its different or supplementary to the other mod with swap in cache?

Whaaaat Goo.im is down again
The Aroma installer for r20.8 of my Sensation kernel has an option for softswap, however, because I don't have a physical device to test, an Aroma installer is out of the question with this kernel. With an Aroma installer I have to check if the settings will work, which mods work with the phone, the directories for all the settings, etc. Sorry =\
ALSO, all kernels support CrossBreeder but very few kernels support frandom. Frandom makes CrossBreeder much faster; this is feature #5 of CrossBreeder:
idcrisis said:
5. Frandom support - CrossBreeder now supports linking both your random devices to the extremely fast alternative - Frandom ( http://billauer.co.il/frandom.html ). This module is orders of magnitude (10-50 times) faster than the standard character devices ( Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37409586&postcount=134 ). The erandom character device also installed by Frandom doesn't use up system entropy at all on top of being fast. You will need to ask your ROM developer to develop the kernel module for you and then place it in /system/lib/modules. CrossBreeder will then try and load it and if successful, make all the necessary adjustments so that both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are pointing to /dev/frandom and /dev/erandom respectively. The speed benefits are to be seen to be believed. But since each ROM requires a unique kernel module, this option is left optional ( but auto detect ).

Awesome, love to have another friendly helper to get us some nice new hardware drivers [read: kernel], as we are lacking in that dept right now. So, I am sure I speak for many others, the little Vivid community is very grateful for whatever you can bring to us .

Awesome! I'm trying this out currently. Seems VERY fast! I'll give it a couple days to see what the battery life is like. I am skeptical that we can get THIS much performance increase without battery life going into the toilet, but I'm hopeful anyway.
One thing I was hoping for would be increased in-call volume, which seems to be the same so far. Volume controls still don't affect the vol level in-call. No confirmation on if the echo is gone for the person you're speaking to. I'll update when I find out.
Either way, it's GREAT to have more options Thanks for your hard work, especially considering you don't even have a Vivid!
EDIT: Update - CRT-Off is missing (or excluded)

None of vivid kernel don't have OTG Host support.
it will be great if you add this to your kernel.
i have try to add this to an htc source kernel, it work but some modules like wifi,.. don't work after that (don't have enough knowledge)

Anybody interested in a custom kernel with OC, undervolting, GPU OC support?

Hi guys! As some of us know the HTC One kernel is already out for a week or two. And since I don't have a HTC One to test on my own right now + the HTC One seems like a very solid and stable device already I wanna ask if anybody here is still interested in a custom kernel with OC, UV, additional governors, schedulers, GPU OC etc.?
I will be willing to create one if it gets some interest from the users. As I don't wanna waste time making one if only a handful are interested cause I do understand that HTC One is already a powerful & battery efficient device and I myself doubt I would need such for this device when I get it.
By the way... Obviously somebody would really be interested in this but as stated I don't have a HTC One yet. And the main reason I'm posting this question is so I could determine if there would be interested testers and not just posters
Hi there
If you still willing to do a custom kernel, I would be more than happy to be part of testing it. And I can confidently say am in :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Does a bear poo in the woods :cyclops:
I would love to see some kernel customization with additional governers, schedulers, GPU, S2W, fastcharge enabled, etc.
Be happy to test if you get around to making one.
HELL YEAH
Ok guys! Thank you got also a couple of friends that convinced me. Will start developing it later will update you all once I already compiled one. I'll start with the overclocking and voltage changing for now since it's the most complicated part.

Oh yeah what you going to call it so I can keep my eye out for it
I haven't even downloaded the kernel source yet lol! Not sure what I will call it at the moment. But this still depends on the situation. If other developers here would beat me to it then I might not continue this project and instead just support whoever that developer might be. I just thought about starting this project because all I can see right now on the development forums are just a bunch of custom kernels with the write protection off lol!
Would it not be easier to start off with smaller tasks like usb fast charge and tuns module and then move onto harder stuff like cpu OC and UC?
Also there are problems with current source that all kernels have earpiece not working on calls issue.
USB fast charge is alot more complicated if you ask me As for tun module it's likely the most easiest of all. You just change 1 line. I think the others already implemented that one.
Yes Please
FYI, you'll prob already seen it around, but all Kernels I've seen floating round the forum are having a few issues (mainly call related I believe)
Hi Riyal
I was wondering if its possible to make it overclocking the CPU & GPU. Plus some risky
