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

[prime]

Off-topic rant, but I need to tell someone who can appreciate my pain. My wife has never rooted and she's out of space on her phone and it's running super slow. So she allowed me to root it. I created a nice ext3 partition, installed Winner's latest build, and set things up more or less like she was used to seeing. I even got most of her apps reinstalled. linked to the extended partition of course. I finished last night after she went to bed.

This morning she starts using the phone before I have a chance to show her anything. Out of the million possible things she could do, what does she do first? She starts moving apps to the SD card. :icon_evil: No real harm done, of course, but I was kinda ticked for a few minutes.

Back on topic, her phone is FLYING. Thanks again guys.

I thought you were going to say she removed the sdcard first and her applications went missing.

Prime, with Deprime #9 and Winner's 7.0.1 build I can't get wifi or wired tethering working. I've tried wired using the CM menus and the wired tether app you linked to back in post 3. Wifi tether also the app you linked to. Wired tether through CM menus just turns on and off. I haven't been using this stuff recently, so I don't know how long it's been broken, but I had been hearing that this was fixed in the "final" CM release. Any suggestions?

Sorry for not being very smart. I just assumed you were smarter than me since you have 10+ years of linux experience.
What is this kernel special for? Is it known for performance, battery life, or performing cool? I assume you're trying for all the above.

So I, the layman installed prime. Noticed it booted faster, was hotter to the touch, and a few of my apps were slower. I could also set it to 125MHz and SetCPU said it is in conservative mode, but there are only 3 options, on demand, interactive, and performance. I don't see bumblebee, and I don't know what its on right now, just says conservative but its on demand. Averaging around 80F. I like this kernel, but I don't know what to expect from it. As long as my texts and calls go through, nothing lost. Wifi works for me. And ooh, the battery settings tell me that most of the other apps did not use as much as the screen, means it is really good for battery life!

So where is bumblebee, what would you describe this kernel as in 3 sentences or less for the layman, and what is it supposed to be? Its interesting and I like it though.

Prime has a couple of kernels out there, if you want Bumblebee you want the Deprime kernel, not the Prime kernel. Bumblebee is Prime's version of the Smartass governor. It hasn't been optimized for the original Droid (yet). I realize that it's a lot of reading with 1300 posts in this thread, but I think if you read the first hundred or so you will have a much better understanding of what Prime is up to.

Thanks. I read the first 100 posts, but most of them were just asking about compcache breaking and he said to read the OP to see which the differences, and states that there are too many differences to list. :/

Seems like most of the work is in the deprime one, which I assumed was made to run on more Droid devices. Well then, I'll use that one, the prime one was very good, so I'll try the deprime one, perhaps it is better! I sound like such a layman lol.

These kernels are designed for the OG Droid, aka Motorola Droid 1. Your mileage may vary if you are running it on another device.

Deprimed should perform much nicer if primed wasn't doing it for your device.

The aim of my work is to provide the best kernel in all aspects, I believe the current deprimed kernel is the best all around Motorola Droid kernel released to date. Not only because of my work on it, because of all the previous developers work as well.

Wait these can run on other devices as well? Thats awesome! I thought I bricked my OG Droid when I installed a different kernel on it once. The Milestone app doesn't seem to run on my Droid. This is nice, very advanced, too smart for me to understand.

Thanks Prime! This is a kernel that I liked from the very beginning, I thought it was odd that other kernels had features similar features, most of them were kernels that were just a different clock, they all seemed to share one common theme. This one... hmm no real way to describe it, I'll try it longer than a few minutes, I like it a lot though!

I'm running the latest official nightly and USB Tether (the app and android supported method) works as intended along with Wifi Tether (direct link to cm_sholes_full-57.zip).

Are you running the flash version of deprimed or the version winner included in his build?

These kernels are for the Motorola Droid alone, no other devices are supported currently.

Hmm. When Winner released his 7.0.1 build I installed it and since Deprime was the default kernel I left it as is. I restored the two tether apps using Titanium Backup, maybe I should uninstall them and try a fresh download. If that doesn't work maybe I'll try the latest nightly.

Both apps now working, CM native still shuts itself off immediately after I turn it on. But this is good enough for me.

I manually edited the 20overclock file and changed most of the slots and their vsel's, but upon reboot, setcpu, no matter where I put the max slider, showed 550 max. BUT, the slider actually read 1000 max, even though I had set the max to 1100 in 20overclock. Is that the wrong way to edit the file? Do you have to use a script? I did run a su primed first, then maually edited 20overclock with RootExplorer, and rebooted. Am I missing a step, should I have wiped something? I reflashed Deprimed stock, used declock, and ran a su primed in terminal again. So I'm back to 2nd base, but want to tweak to 1100 or 1200.Confused. BTW, Prime, awesome work! This is the only kernel on GB I have used that 3g actually works well.
Info: CM7 build 42, Deprimed test 19. Is there a link to a stepbystep? I've been trying to read all of this thread, lol. Thanks!

Been trying to do pretty much the same thing, but it refuses to work properly, I reboot the phone and it just comes up to 600mhz. Trying to start at 1000mhz.

You are likely confusing the slot/vsel numbers and placing them in the wrong order. Let me see your script and I will fix it up for you. Post it on pastebin, link me, I will fix it for you.
