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

The update will have to wait until this evening, I have to change spark plugs and put front brakes on my brothers truck (I'm currently driving it so I must do the maintenance :/).

I hate fire! I hate insurance companies! I hate lawyers representing the other side of the table!
 
yea, I ended up with all the money back eventually, but it was about a (very broke) week before it all got resolved

I missed a house payment because of it, broke wasn't the word for it in my case. This is a whole other can of worms of course...back to your regular scheduled program :)
 
I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but where should I put echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness so that primed doesn't set it to 7 (way low)? CM7.

Create a file called 99swappiness, place it in /etc/init.d/, chmod +x it, edit the 99swappiness placing your desired command.

I assure you that a swappiness of 30 will cause problems eventually, I'm a heavy user so the issue rears its head quite quickly for myself...especially on gingerbread (30 on froyo wasn't quite acceptable but caused less issues).

thanks got it. Everything in /init.d gets executed, or is it built into your kernel to look for 99swappiness?

mainly I open many tabs to load in the background on my el cheapo metroPCS $30 plan and let the 15.6kBps connection load them while I send a SMS or something. So my browser of choice not getting killed EVER is important.

Everything is executed in order of ascending numbers.

Use the OOM driver. (Someone may have a informational link on it as I'm mobile and busy).

Your welcome, happy to help.

In the future please don't assume my values to something are wrong (it's misleading) . If asked I can tell you why a setting is the value I set it to and don't mind doing it at all.
 
i havent updated in over a month...deprimed i assume is still awesome? is that the kernel your going to release this evening?

Its changed quite a lot. He changed the base to CVPCS's kernel and its also open source now. There has also been quite a few other changes.

My latest quirk (and this could be and most likely is my ROM's fault) is that 3G comes back right away after calls but doesn't turn green. I am forced to flip airplane mode on/off.
Yeah I'm also getting that. I think it has to do with the 3G fix that CVPCS committed. I think you have to wipe data to fix that? I'm not sure cause I haven't wiped anything.

well hello again winner, fancy meeting you here!
so i should flash this with your build after clearing system/cache/dalvik and be ready to role after entering "primed" in terminal to get the ulv values? and any more kernel updates can be done through terminal as well i believe?

Yes you wipe system/cache/dalvik, install my build, install gapps, install deprimed, and then reboot. Then you can enter primed in the terminal and you should be fine. Yes you can update through terminal by typing su then update_deprimed. Yes the latest version is in the link in the first post.

Thanks winner, I will get you the file you need to include in your build in a few minutes.
