Kovsky Kernel Development [2.6.27]

Guys,
Seems like there are lots of threads popping up with new 'packages'. I thought we should create a thread solely for the discussion of kernel hacks/patches so that we can separate the two:
For those of you who dont know, http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-xdadev is the repo were are working on.
Just to clarify, this topic is ONLY for discussion regarding Kernel patches. Thanks to vdelf's headset patch it seems sensible to focus on:
1. Backlight always on problem FIXED 01/05/10 (vdelf)
2. Battery Issue FIXED 11/05/10 (drlucky)
3. Camera
4. USB
5. GPS

Makes sense. Lets add USB to the list. While charging works, data transfer does not. Also USB might allow us to debug kernel/android on the x1 and that is what dev's always dream of

:suggestion: why not add the latest kernel as download in the 1st post if there is progress. So everyone know where to download the latest updates u ppl do

It will be great to do this, and stick it

@dexteral,
Anyone can checkout the kernel from the above repo I posted. To do what you require we would need to upload the Kernel everytime someone adds a patch...

Is data transfer even possible in haret? I mean how would system unmount sdcard if it's running from sdcard itself?

not fast data but normal will work

love it

Hi, Lets add fm-radio to the list

Great idea ... otherwise we are creating such a mess with lots of different kernel versions in different threads.
If anyone is interested in compiling the kernel as well as the wifi modules, I have setup a VMWare debian appliance containing all necessary tools and scripts to compile everything. Since this is a few hundes MB, I haven't got a place to upload ... need to check this first. If you are interested, let me know.

@drlucky
Have you had a chance to look at the backlight issue? I am almost out of ideas

Can you post your modifications on the microp-module and what you found out until now?

hey could you post the steps involved for compiling the kernel i am able to comile the kernel but it is not running

Wich toolchain do you use? arm-2008q1 or arm-2009q3?

Personally I'll start to see how to compile the kernel. Can you share the link to download arm-2010q1?
Have you read this post ?

Sorry, haven't had the time. Could you push your changes to the git repo, I will try to have a look at it this week ...

okay i tried to make the kernel bt following the guide above by fatsal...
but i got stuck at
make htckovsky_defconfig ARCH=arm
htckovsky_defconfig doesn't exist (in the new repo anyway, i believe)
any help? which defconfig to use? :S

Just played with the klt-driver a bit. I always get version 0x0000, which on a hero means "bootloader mode". I have tried to migrate the hero code, but with no luck. It seems that the microp-klt needs a "reset", which shoudl be done by using a magical GPIO (on hero: 76), but this doesn't currently work at all. Kernel boots up, but still gets no valuable version number.

[MODULE-|-SOURCE] Atrix 4G Overclock Module -- Up to 1.5GHz!

Welcome to the Motorola Olympus (Atrix 4G) Overclock Thread!
Well, I didn't know what to do today, so I've created something useful, an Overclock Module. However, this is incomplete and I need help for completing it.
More specifically, I don't know how to replace the already loaded table with the one written in this module. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it!
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONES BRICKS.
Status: COMPLETE.
Download:
Compiled module: HERE (Min 200MHz Max 1.4GHz)
Module source: HERE (Outdated. It'll be updated when it'll be cleaned.)
What you need:
1. A brain
2. A ROOTED Atrix
3. Patience
4. PC and SDCARD.
How to load it:
1. Download the compiled module
2. Put it on the root of your sdcard
3. On your ROOTED device, run a terminal emulator and do exactly... this:
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/olympus_overclock.ko /data/
chmod 777 /data/olympus_overclock.ko
cd /data
insmod olympus_overclock.ko
4. Use SetCPU for your profiles
And let me clarify a thing: This isn't a kernel. This is a kernel module
Thanks to:
Skrilax_CZ - Without you, I would never had been completed the work.
iggytom & Bakano - Thanks for your kallsyms logs!
Stay Tuned!

=NOT TESTED....what do you expect...put here some modified kernel and want to us test withou any test made by you? lol
You kiring right?

Exciting but Ill wait till a few brave souls test it out first

he says "completing and uploading"
...maybe he actually plans on testing it first? or maybe he's just trollin'

I've ever done things that I wanted to do.
I'll receive my Atrix next week, so, for now, it isn't tested and it isn't even completed.
DEVS, I need some help. I've modified the struct and, well, sincerely, I don't know how to load it and replace it to the already loaded frequancy table.
I'm posting the source, being confident on other devs that can help me.
P.S.: The module isn't simply setting the maximum frequency for overclocking. Its concept is rewriting the frequency table for getting better scaling and even better battery life adding underclocking features in the future.
EDIT:
@EclipseX
I'm not posting a kernel. Atrix is locked. Read prior to write things.
@raybond25
I don't mean why some people is accusing of trolling when those people don't know who is that guy that is posting these things....

if you had described you just said in your last post in the OP, people wouldn't have been quite as skeptical, it seemed as though you were posting saying you'd already completed (or nearly), but hadn't tested it, and were hoping that others were. That's all.
thanks for the clarification on what this is and what you intend to do

Well yes, I was thinking too much easy because I've done other things like this in the past but then I've discovered that this is different... so..

From the testers point of view before we even get to looking at this, which kernel did you design this for being we now have three currently out with the retail, the leaked feb version, and the OTA update. Pleas provide your how too asap before someone dose something wrong and burn out their device. That said I'm waiting till I see a proper OP before I look at this again, good luck.

Well the OTA's out of the question since it can't be rooted

kennethpenn and DG if you guys can make this happen. you will be my heros

It is a SOURCE.
A source can be compiled on every kernel you want if you've got the source for it.
Anyway, only the retail version source is out, so for now we can compile it only for the OLYFR_U4_1.2.6's kernel ...... when it gets completed.

Okay guys, I'm going to complete this.
Anyone with the OLYFR_U4_1.2.6 firmware installed can execute this command and upload to me the file?
Code:
cat /proc/kallsyms > /sdcard/kallsyms.log
This command creates a log of the kallsyms in the kallsyms.log file stored on your sdcard.
I need that file for finishing the work.
Thanks!

Here you go. 10char

Actually, flashable is faster. Not fastboot, if the user doesn't have a computer, how would they flash? Try this flashable. http://www.mediafire.com/?aa76od7bfzhjhad

That's great. thanks for share.

If anyone knows how to unlock the 100mhz frequency this is more than welcome.
I also added 600mhz for better power management.

djjonastybe - You need to provide source to your kernel to comply with GPL. If you could add that to your OP that will be great.

This is great, I was waiting for this. Btw, whats the differnce between ezekeels and thalamus deep idle?

Yeah, it's not ideal at the moment though. It doesn't really save much, if anything in it's current implementation. TOP ON, unfortunately doesn't save any power and it is pointless.
I have acknowledged that and am working on a rewrite of the invocation code which should be done next week.

Great work so far. My battery drained about ten percent in four hours, thats more than doubled since the OTA. Thank you very much!

That's JB that is doing that, not the kernel. They have made it more efficient, it doesn't cause as many wakeups now. 1% in 2 hours here whilst idling.

How do I do that? It would be great if you tell me how to upload my source. I would be glad to do it.
@Thalamus good job with the IDLE2 port. I haven't had any issues so far.

IZS softkey backlight problem

Hi all, I have just installed IZS by Huexxx and observed that softkey turn on every time I touch the screen. Anybody has the same issue? Some solution?

It's not bug actually, it's a feature. It is supposed to behave that way

If it is a feature, I would like to see the option to disable it. It is annoying for me and I prefer the old (Zeus) way of softkey backlightning.
How is it in stock ICS?

Not all features have an option I'm afraid. I can try to tweak the led driver or something if you wish so badly to change that behavior.

I've recompiled huexx diana3 kernel from the sources and changed the led driver behavior to the act as you requested. I won't the post the link here as huexx might get mad at me for redistributing his almost unmodified kernel so I will PM you the link and instructions.

If you prefer old leds behavior, just set "always on" and they will behave like in GB
at least it works fine with other ics rom.

Thanks man!!!
Led backlightning now works the way I prefer. :victory:
But with a new release of diana3 kernel (will come some day) it will change back to default (if huexxx doesn't add new option), am I right?
Why not to ask Huexxx for adding an option to change softkeys behaviour? You have this part of kernel already done, so it would be easy to introduce.

I don't want to keep leds on all the time. I prefer they react only to direct touch (not touch the screen!), then dim and go off.
Now I have it!

Yes they will return to their default (huexx default) behavior I'm afraid. Well that's up to Huexx is his kernel/rom not mine. I do not control what he does I could recompile his kernel with the small changes I made at every Major version with a capital M. but I can't be doing it all the time. I might add that option when I release my kernel but it won't be compatible with IZS (it will...but won't link with 'zeus tweaker' or something like that if he adds it)
also won't have some of his changes / features (will have mine instead).
Anyhow....I'll gladly share the code with him if he wishes to add that led behavior as an option. (he could probaly make it thou it's not that hard)

i think u dont understand the rules ,, didnt u ask yourself why he uses github and followed the rules of posting the kernel ,, all im saying that github was made so that modders like you could modify the kernel ,, just ask him to post a thread with it ..or.. send him the commit so that he can add it in the next version ,,,

Actually that's why I did not post the kernel I'm not allowed to distribute a kernel without a github. also diana3 kernel is not my work but huexx's. So I did not use the forums to distribute a kernel. Now the open source laws clearly state I can do as I please with the source in my own time and need and the forum rules do not have juridistion of my personal life (thank god lol). I will not...however, post any work without source either mine and specially not...of others.

Requesting for help. Information on SM-T817W can not be found. Loose kernel.

I have been looking for a few days on the loose core of the tabs2 SM-T817w. But the entire XDA forum, and even Google I did not find the SM-T817w relaxed kernel or ROMS! . . I am very disappointed, obviously why the difference is so big tabs2, we are 817w forgotten? ?? ??：困惑：：困惑：
I have now upgraded the latest firmware, T817WVLU3BPK5. . I hope XDA friends can help me, making a relaxed kernel. Because I really get it (in order to engage in the core, has become a brick several times. Now helpless with the official system.)
SM-T817w TWRP
Thank you very much XDA friends, I hope you can help me. Make a loose core of SM-T817w. If you are willing to make a ROMs I will be more happy. Finally, I would like to ask a question, how to delete KNOS because it is too annoying. Hindering me from gaining maximum control：伊克：：伊克：

Perhaps someone has put together a 1-click package, but basically you have to do it by hand. It isn't hard at all, as long as you have adb set up on a computer.
