EDIT: Figured out why smartass wasn’t included, someone screwed up a Makefile, he’ll remain nameless, but it’s fixed now. lol

Since these are BETA, I’m not sure if everything works, so please report back what doesn’t work.  Also, since they’re beta, the source isn’t going to be released just yet, still WAY too much work left to do, so please don’t update these on XDA yet.

Based off the Incredible MR3 source code release.

Combined source tree, no longer maintaining 3 separate trees.
Some updates from the glacier source release, more to come
CK2
BFS357
BFQ
Interactive (default)
Smartass
OC to 1.19

  On the Incredible, the smartass governor is missing. Everything else seems to be working. GPU+ is definitely working, USB Tether…

First off, I haven’t stopped working on kernels.  I’ve been working on a brand new source tree.  I started with the HTC Incredible MR3 source, added in support for the Evo and Bravo.  Then started taking the source tree as close to the 2.6.32.17 mainline kernel as possible.  After doing that, I’ve patched it up to 2.6.32.26, and for those of you that do kernel work, THERE WERE NO REJECTS, only about 5 or 6 patches that had offsets.

The benchmarks are amazing, under Incubus’ port of Myn’s 2.2 RLS4, I was scoring 1400-1450 in Quad, 59 in FPS2D, and 29 in NeoCore.  Last night, I flashed IncredibleDoes’ Desire Z port, since the camera is working now, and I’m getting 1550-1600 Quad, 59 FPS2D, and 29 in NeoCore.  Now all of this is WITHOUT ANY TWEAKS, ok there are 2, I patched the Evo FPS tweak, doesn’t effect me, and the SD Card speedup, which is actually from the mainline code, so I’m not really counting that.

Now that I have that nice and stable, I’m starting to implement some of the new improvements from the glacier source tree, I’ve had many failed builds, so I’m slowly implementing those features.  The main ones I’m focusing on are the newer GPU drivers, the ACPU freq/voltage via debugfs.  Also in the newer glacier code, they’ve removed the efuse code from the acpuclock-scorpion.c.

I’m not sure when I’ll be finished with all of this, but I do need some beta testers, the kernel has currently been tested on all three platforms, but since I’ve finally have stable code, and I’m going to be adding more, I need more testers.  Unlike the other kernels I’ve put out, I’m taking this one slow and testing at every step.  As soon as I get all the glacier patches in there, then I’ll start on the other performance patches.

  I'll test it for my evo. I'll be in #htc-evo or hit me up on gtalk(otisfeelgood at gmail dot com).

Sorry for not posting this last night, ended up falling asleep on the couch right after diner.
Also, still no AOSP, I’ll work on that over the long weekend.

Changelog:
Updated the HTC addons to Incredible MR3
Tweaked the conservative governor to 50K sampling instead of 200K
Tweaked the smartass governor
Disabled 802.11n, the speed increase wasn’t that much and the power draw was too much
Enabled 128MHz by request

Of course, it’s still OCd, UVd, BFS357, ck2.

• Ziggy471 posted on January 1, 2011
  Try the newer kernels. Most likely though, it's a voltage issue.
• BackYardSpecial posted on January 1, 2011
  Just tried to flash this kernel instead of the stock HTC kernel built into Warm RLS4 on evo. Phone reboots…

Changelog:

Added LZMA compression for the kernel image, makes it uber small. This should help with the few non-booters still left. Also, since it’s so small, EVERYTHING is built in, except wifi and on the EVO, wimax.
Moved the default boot speed back down to 998MHz, didn’t realize that some couldn’t run 1.113GHz, sorry about that.
Removed ALL debugging support in the kernel, this will speed it up and also makes it smaller.

Everything else is still the same, ck2, BFS357, BFQ, SLUB, CIFS, EXT4, gpu+, sd card speed up, etc…

Until I figure some things out with the AOSP kernels, I will not be releasing anymore, sorry.

Finally, for those that asked about the tweeks script I posted, it’s set for 1.113GHz max, if you want something different, edit the script and reboot. It’s the same script I had included in previous kernels, but had taken out for reasons.

Tweaks:
Since some have asked, I put together an update zip with the screen state scaling init script and I also included a sysctl.conf by Mr. X and an init script to start it.
[TWEAKS] Ziggy's tweaks (1044 downloads)

Edit: The screen state scaling scales the processor to between 245MHz and 384MHz when the screen is turned off, this is to save on battery power when you’re not using the phone. It sets the governor to ONDEMAND when the screen is off, and INTERACTIVE when the screen is on. I find this responds faster when turning the screen on. As for the sysctl.conf, I’ll have to have X explain all the tweaks in there.

  Thanks for the great kernels Ziggy! Loving it on my DInc!

For those that were interested in more info on the smartass governor, here’s and excerpt from erasmux’s flykernel.

smartass governor – is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works – by taking over the idle loop – is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the “old” minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 – why?! – it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!

Of course, the frequencies are different than what he used, since we have better processors than the Hero.

I finally think I’ve figured out git. lol

So I’ve updated my github with all the changes I made recently, each is just a branch of the mainline 2.6.32.25.

Ziggy’s GitHub

Enjoy,

Z

Alright, applied the netarchy FPS paches. Sorry about that, not having an Evo to test on, I forgot.

Note1: These kernels ARE NOT overclocked, but are slightly undervolted.
Note2: I’ll have my github updated hopefully this weekend.  So please wait to update the XDA threads.

Even without over-clocking, you’ll be surprised at the speed.

Hopefully this one fixes the issues I’ve been having with this kernel.

Change log:

Reduced the actual kernel size, due to the limited space on the Evo, 2.5MB as opposed to 3MB on INC and Bravo.

Moved all Graphics drivers to modules
Moved EXT4 to a module

Removed the hosts file and init script for now, just trying to get this damn thing working.

Camera is working, not sure what I did to break it or fix it.  lol
