kernel question

**blancoisgod** · 12-05-2010, 01:49 PM

I want to know a few things:

How do i add kb7's patches? i have them downloaded, just dont know what to do. since jr0dd has the cliq overclocked, im assuming all im gonna have to do is implement the acpuclock.c file from him into the kernel. Am I right?Also, i want to add tethering support and swap. After alot of googling, i cant find out how to do this.

I appreciate the help

I pm'd how to do init.d, it is quite a simple change to init.rc, I learnt this from Alex/adumont. Of course it isn't easy to make a patch to achieve this as init.rc is in the boot.img which differs for every custom f/w typically released and is in a part of the f/w that can't be made writable during runtime or thru recovery unlike the /system system.img.
As init.rc is part of the ramdisk, you have to unpack and repack the boot.img you want to mod (I use the perl scripts in a linux box to achieve this to maintain file permissions etc).

If you guys can figure this out it'll be awesome, would it be possible for a how-to guide once you get it working?

alright, ia pplied the patches, added init.d support, and added Beach_head acpuclock.c. the kernel Compiled, yay.

Unfortunately it wont boot, and i need some help there...I get stuck at the white screen for like 10 seconds, then the phone powers off, then reboots. it is constantly doing this

**Beach_Head** · 12-10-2010, 02:48 AM

Did you set the governor in the config file?

By default, it is set to use performance. Change it to ondemand or better yet, userspace

I used to do that before with my custom kernel for Cliq. People were having sometime a reboot loop issue in change-only mode (when u plug the powered-off phone to the outlet).

Changing back the CPU governor to Performance solved the reboot loop on charge-only mode.

Now in my roms I set Ondemand cpu governor using userland commands (/proc) instead of changing it in the kernel. That way, I get the same effect, but not the reboot-loop side effect in charge only mode.
