[KERNEL] Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

[speedfreeq]

THis is so overwhelming

I finally after 1.5 years am trying to get into this stuff to breathe new life into my phone.

I just got CM7.1 on my phone.

Why do I want this kernal? Is it strictly for overclocking? and how do I apply it?

Its hard to figure all this out because all the posts are by people "in the know", its not exactly noob friendly.

All help is appreciated, in the meantime, I'll keep on reading!

Thanks again.

This kernel might work well on your phone. That's really the only reason you may want it, initially. It's not terribly fast, at 900MHz. It doesn't make your phone do magic.

It is a very solid kernel that works well on a number of Froyo (2.2.x) and Gingerbread (2.3.x) ROMs.

The really cool thing that you might learn about this kernel is that its incredibly versatile. Out of the box it can be run as LV (low voltage) or ULV (ultra LV). Some phones can't handle a ULV kernel... it'll run hot, or laggy, or randomly reboot often. So you can try it, then use a simple script to switch back if it doesn't work.

Furthermore, this kernel uses an overclock file to drive the clock and voltage settings. So later on, you can edit the file to tweak the clock settings and voltages to find what works best FOR YOUR DEVICE.

In short, it's perhaps the most capable kernel out there right now. That's why you want it.

# primed
Disclaimer: You have enabled overclock, your device will now run the /etc/init.d/20overclock script and overclock module upon boot.
To disable please run the command 'deprime' in a su shell.
executing 20overclock
insmod: init_module 'overclock.ko' failed (File exists)

I'm on UD2.5 and can't get custom kernel settings to survive reboot. I have the milestone oc, ran the overclock script and ran the primed command after I set the values I wanted. I think the fail line above has something to do with it.

Anyone lend a hand?

I had a similar issue early on. Try just deleting the 20.overclock file and running the script again. Also, make sure permissions are set to rw for /system AND /etc.

i cant find that file on root explorer

 

[chewy74]

Yeah, i've tried that and i still get the:
insmod: init_module 'overclock.ko' failed (File exists)

even when I run the overclock command. I made sure no 20overclock file was in /system/ect/init.d/ and ran the overclock command and then the primed command and got the same error in both instanaces.
the custom values would show, but will not survive reboot.

any other suggestions? I even tried running the declock script and starting the process from scratch and same result

Its in /system/lib/modules/
and also in the milstone OC data folder file.

I tried removing them both, but then it just says they tried opening overclock.ko but it doesnt exsist wtf lol

i cant find that file on root explorer

Prime LIVES, he posted earlier today on his twitter account that he is in fact still around, but still won't be developing for a little while. But at least we know he's doing ok.

 

[moset]

Great news, thought about him the other day.

Thanks for update. Its crazy that one man/person could do so much for the community or the OG Droid.

Really good news to see him surface...sounds like he's been dealing with quite alot.

It would be great to see him stick his nose back in here...when he's ready.

 

[sbenson]

Sweet! I've been wondering and was worried something had happened to him. Glad he's alive and kicking.

2 quick questions, sorry I cannot read 185 pages to find out

1. can I use these on my OG Droid D1?
2. are the 2 links on the first page always linked to the most up to date kernel?

It has been a while since an update, but I'm still using it. This kernel (deprimed) & CM7 nightlies are the only reasons I'm not upgrading when I'm due for my final New-Every-2 tomorrow. My OG Droid is still more than suiting my needs. I'm holding out until an Ice Cream Sandwich device hits the market.

Though I did edit the "primed" 20overclock file to bump up the overclock to 1000 MHz and up the vsel values a tad. My battery life ain't great but I have 4 batteries and an external charger so that's the least of my worries.

I use deprimed at stock slots + msoc to overclock it to 1GHz and get amazing battery life so I imagine you are doing it wrong.
