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!

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.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/31/11 New Kernel - Portrait mode on boot!
 

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.

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

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/31/11 New Kernel - Portrait mode on boot!
 

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

Just had the repeating letter bug for the first time on this kernel. Dang...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/31/11 New Kernel - Portrait mode on boot!
 

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!!!

When I'm in landscape mode and I press one of the four hard keys they flash quickly about four times. The end key does not cause them to flash. When I slide my keyboard back they all light up solid and in portrait mode work perfectly, sans end key.

Been running the 3/11/11 kernel now since release and no new issues, with improvements in the others. Still getting the stuck key, can't tell if it's much better, maybe a little, but it's no biggee. I've noticed the last couple occasionally stop typing with the hard kb and I need to close it and reopen it to type again, nothing else seems to work. Loving the new lights too. Getting fewer and fewer failed wakes, had another this morning even using Highlandsun's latest RIL, but they are clearly getting fewer and farther between.

Edit: And hopefully I don't curse myself, but haven't had a reboot since 3/30 kernel!
