[TESTING] Updated 5/14/11 New Kernel - Temp Test - SOD Fix!

[Counterfeit]

I believe if the zImage/kernel doesn't match up then there will be Wifi problems. Feel free to correct that. Will try new kernel today, thanks.

With a fresh install of frx06 and this new test kernel, my phone is as fast as it has ever been. Not a single system issue. The gps shows me in the ocean, but we all know about that.

There's a fix for the GPS bug.

See Entropy's thread - the fix is userland, and you can bind mount that file to the system image. Worked great for me!

Yeah I had this problem with huawei before after an aweful lot of trouble I finally figured how to fix it . . . . .when using thse kernals on neopeek builds after 1st boot rename modules-----, to just 'modules' so that it isn't found. After this the kernal works identically on huawei as it does in FRX06

But I reccomended keeping FRX06 on sd for testing porposes

Wow, really? Arrrghhh, I'm pretty sure there are important modules that need to get loaded with the kernel in modules*.tar.gz for specific devices to work, correct? jandyman, your method may prevent the sluggish problem but it'll break other stuff like devices that need the modules to be loaded before they can function properly. I really like Huawei Cherry Pie build but it seems to be not that too stable (constant reboots to Android); I can use the camera but the darn build won't save the pictures anywhere; the black theme is awesome and the speed is awesome also, I was running at stock speed and constantly getting 540-570 on quadrant (yep, no OC); I may have to abandon it due to stability issues. Gonna fix my SD and see if Cherry Pie runs better without all the aforementioned problems; otherwise, it's back to old reliable FRX06.

Is FRX06 that much slower on benchmarks?

Anyhoo, the modules are mainly used for wifi - not much else breaks if you remove the modules. At least not much else that should be noticeable to the end-user.

I can "tell" a difference when using FRX06 against Cherry Pie if not OCing. I can run Cherry Pie without OCing and it will be just as smooth as FRX06 OCing at 650Mhz+. On the benchmark (quadrant), Cherry Pie is around 40-50 points better when both are running at stock speed. Not a big difference. As you mentioned before, it's most likely not using the latest HD graphics implementation as FRX06 is; I believe tiad8's Froyo X builds were like Cherry Pie and hence seem to be a little faster in response and slightly more smooth. But stability is a big concern with those builds and Cherry Pie so I'm going back to FRX06 Was just trying different builds.

I installed FRX06 on a fresh SD and changed to this newest kernel... It's teriffic so far! Biggest issue I've noticed... in a call if you use the dial pad the sound gets staticy for the duration of the call. Battery seems to die pretty quickly. Also... and I think this applies to all current kernels but I haven't read anyone making a note of it, other than turning it on, the screen only wakes up on incomming phone calls... not on sms or calendar alerts. Nothing new... but I thought worthy of pointing out as a lot of work is being done on screen waking... BIG THANKS TO ALL THE DEVELOPERS WORKING ON THIS!!!

Running an unsupported ginger build here and this kernel is flawless for me

Been running FRX06 without any problems at all for the past day. Things keep getting better and better!
