Hey everyone, welcome to viperMOD for the EVO, Incredible, Nexus One, Desire GSM, Thunderbolt, Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, Desire HD, and Inspire 4G. Many people are having great success with this mod and I hope you enjoy my work
I would like to turn this into an app! If someone would like to help out that has Java knowledge, please contact me!
What does this do?
Kernel developers make their kernels to be "universal". By universal, they want the kernel to work on as many phones as possible so they may only mildly undervolt. However, some phones can handle a more aggressive undervolt. Some can't. viperMOD allows you to undervolt to your choosing for better battery life or allow you to overvolt to make your phone more stable.
How do I run this?
Once you flash the .zip go into your Terminal app (I use Android Terminal Emulator set to 10pt font) and type:
su
vipermod
I really only use Terminal for my mod and there is something really cool you can do with Android Terminal Emulator (and maybe others). Menu > Preferences > Initial Command > Press Enter and type su > Press Enter again and type vipermod
Every time you start Terminal now, it will open right into viperMOD. You can quickly exit by pressing Enter if you need to use Terminal for something else

FAQ
[Q] Will this work on Sense kernels?
[A] Technically, yes. None of the current Sense kernels support the sysfs interface but a few of ziggy's old kernels do. I don't know if anyone still runs his kernels but if you do and you want to see it supported, please contact me. You can also compile your own 2.6.32 Sense kernel and build in the sysfs interface. To do so, please read here (thanks chad0989!)

What kind of battery life are we looking at here? There's so many variables as to what affects life. I can chew through my 1500 in 24 hrs or 10, it depends.
I'll try it out, what kernel is this based off of?

It's hard to say because, as you said, it depends what you do with your phone. I have noticed that I get a full day out of my phone when I never used to before. Just to give you an idea though, here is what ffolkes found out after some testing...
ffolkes said:
I spent hours (well, days, no, a week actually) methodically doing stability tests and tweaking voltages for all 24 frequencies. I then went back to a fresh install of CM7, installed Tiamat 3.3.7 and used my Evo for about 30 minutes - doing whatever I normally do, few texts, lots of RSS reading, browser, it isn't important since this is a relative and not absolute test. I then took 10 samples from that time in Battery Monitor Widget and averaged them, resulting in 485mA. Then I installed my customized voltages, and repeated the experiment, and the average was 374mA. That equates to about a 23% decrease in power consumption.

In my eyes, anything I can do to get a little bit more battery life is great and this mod will help with that
Is this.something that you would flash over the kernel or for devs to add in while they are creating them?

Flash over a kernel. Basically, it adds a script to /system/etc/init.d that loads these undervolt values everytime your phone starts up.
Interesting. I think I will keep an eye on this one!

So, is it not possible to do make this mod available to sense ROM kernels, or just involves doing things no one has done yet?

You just need a kernel with the HAVS sysfs interface is all. Would take about 5 minutes to put into a sense kernel. It will be in a future 2.6.37 sense kernel I put out if I ever figure out the funky artifacting issue.

It could work with a Sense kernel, actually. I just didn't make one for the EVO because Calkulin already did that in his own thread. But I will get it working on Sense for the Incredible for you guys.
Looks like I need 5 Sense testers now!

I was able to drop it 50mV going past that would booted but would hot-boot instead of booting all the way.
Still happy. Now to test how much more time I have on my battery
Thanks again viperboy.

No problem like I said, every phone will handle this mod differently. I don't know if this has happened to anyone in the Incredible forum but some people in the EVO forum have a problem that they can't flash any custom kernel because the kernel is too undervolted so I made an overvolt script that I will post over here as well.
Confused
Is this mod only involving the making of flashable scripts that lower voltage values?
Does it involve anything like modifying kernels, basically making them HAVS kernels, if they are not currently?
Who else wants to help me test?! I need people that are running a Sense-based ROM!

No, the kernel you are using needs to have on-the-fly HAVS editing built in.

Which no sense kernels do, with the exception of some of the ziggy ones floating around somewhere. I've long since abandoned my 2.6.32 source in favor of 2.6.37 (I only have time for one at a time), but there is an odd artifacting issue that has prevented me from releasing a sense version.
If someone wants to put out a 2.6.32 sense kernel with the sysfs interface here's everything you need:
My 2.6.32 source:
https://github.com/Chad0989/incredikernel
Sysfs interface commit:
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/15d469a1aabc76d549c94bc7150678fe808a51d8
Note that 2.6.32 its acpuclock-scorpion.c instead of acpuclock-qsd8x50.c
I can test sense for you if you would like

Just so people know, this kernel will stay @ 800mhz or less most of the time, you have to actually put load on the cpu for it to clock up (benchs, gaming,etc)
I'm going to try flashing this as soon as I disable voodoo. I'm running trigger 3.0.1 so it's a 2.2 kb5 based ROM. A couple of questions... Will there be a voodoo enabled version of this once it's been tested? What would you need from testers?
Lock up during boot with Trigger. I even odined back to stock, reinstalled trigger and flashed your kernel on top before reboot and got the same result. Any suggestions? What ROM are you using?
Just flashed now - running at 1.4ghz w/ setcpu set to conservative with a screen off profile @ 800 max conservative. Ran Quadrant - only getting 1150 (I know, Quadrant isn't a perfect benchmark), I'll report back with more. I will say the browser was loading up pretty fast though.
Edit - First Nenamark run @ 41fps

You flashed trigger, then the kernel while still in recovery? You shouldn't flash the kernel right away, let trigger boot up and sit, then flash the kernel. Might be your problem.

will this kernel work on 2.2.1? if so i will test
1. Yes there will b a voodoo version with bln,etc and a beta or two more for when I add a few new features
2. I'm running a beta of my DragonMOD rom I'm working on
3. All I need from u guys is what speed u end up stable @, u can run games, benchs, etc. to determine stability. I can only reach 1.3, I had to set a profile in setcpu that puts it @ 1ghz on boot then clock up from there till freezing.
I have only tested on 2.2, 2.2.1 will probably have issues. If u run 2.2.1 & it didn't work then that might b the problem and ill need to add support for 2.2.1

Thanks man going to flash this on Toxic Firefly & Toxic Black Ice and see what happens. I'll report back my results!
might want to change the name of this project. Not sure how ttabball feels about you jacking the name of his well known project for your own. Plus people are more than likely to get confused.
you should rename it komodo so everyone wont get it confused also.

Hmm... Good to know. I've done on a few ROMs with overstock as my kernel and had no issues. Time to go back to stock and try again! Is it better to let stock sit for the requisite 15 minutes before flashing or is it safe to just go right out of the gate?
And nobody coimplained when my name got jacked

And you dont see me complaing that BlackIce got jacked, and the look as well.
This whole dev community went to **** quick, which is one of the reasons I left.
Im just saying that people might get confused, and flash this thinking it's tt's kernel, and if there were issues, go to tt with complaints.

Just before u start saying someone "jacked" a name, slow down and reword it dude. Thats offensive and this is a test, it's going to b an entire ROM not just kernel. The name is based on DBZ. My TOXIC got "jacked" and first thing that popped into my has was DragonMOD as I was watching dragonballz.

Ok..i remember reading something a while back about a DoW kernel that was screwing up phones because of the overclock...
this isnt going to happen with this kernel is it?
and also have seen the 1.48ghz kernel floating around...i guess that hasnt fried any phones either?
any input?

Idk why DoW might b doing that, but with this one I cant say anything cuz its being tested. It shouldnt as the voltages arent high so not much risk there, and its really just a basic OC kernel till voltage and clock testing is finished, then i'll be adding voodoo,bln,etc.
You can take comfort and know I have been running this myself for 2 days now, I would not post something I wasnt willing to/was testing myself at the same time, so anything that happens to you will happen to me =)
Putting this up for those who've been inquiring...I simply integrated bits & pieces for the legend to improve what is already an awesome rom. I take no credit for this. Doesn't hurt to hit the thanks button though if this helps .

How's this different from CM7?
2.6.35 kernel (boots by default to 768/256-interactive; max=806, min=120)
smartass & smartass2 governors
compache/swap
deodexed & zip-aligned
tweaks for deodexed rom and sd read-ahead (3072 by default)
removed rom manager & some default themes/wallpapers
moved file manager to /data/app
modified lock screen icons
flying-in menu animations
TGF's notification bar (notbar) patch integrated
What doesn't work/untested?
wifi tethering - activating them produces an error & breaks wife, in which case, a reboot is required
gps
Is this faster than CM?
can't claim that as i don't see a big jump in quad/linpack scores, though there are improvements & it does feel snappier (I may be biased though). you decide...
full rom here: DOWNLOAD

CAUTION
do backup before doing anything
see alex' comments, post #9
if you encounter reboots/freeze (not getting this myself though) & wanna revert to your original/stock kernel, simply advance restore boot only

The drowningkernel-8-9-1_mod.zip works fine with CM7.1.0 for me. THX a lot!
I like your lockscreen-icons and the statusbar-patch, but not the flying-in-animation, so I flashed the non-modified one.
What governors do you prefer? I'm using interactive, but never had a smartass/smartass2 kernel on my phone. Does one of these two give me advantages over interactive?
Or can you give me some details about smartass/smartass2 Min-Max-values for the legend?
I have constant cpu usage of 50-75% with this rom :-(

you could learn more about it here. i'm using 806/122-smartass2. if you try to underclock below stock 245, it seems only the smartass governors give a quick response from sleep.

Just a small comment regarding kernel 2.6.35:
In my tests 2.6.35 was not significantly (or at all) faster than .32, neither could I observe improved battery life.
What actually held us back implementing .35 were the crappy WLAN and missing access point drivers. The sources HTC released are significantly broken - even for their original target "Espresso", and this is still a clear violation of the GPL (the sources they used to compile tiwlan_drv for Espresso/Legend are not at all equivalent to what they released).
That being said, if you don't care about WLAN at all you can use 2.6.35. I seriously wouldn't recommend that kernel though and would request you to add a warning to your post to make sure people don't start to complain about random reboots in CyanogenMod.
Thanks man,looks great will test it soon.

What he wants to say is that, if you deodex rom, there is more space used in system since instead of having apk+odex as separate files you put the odex inside the apk thus ocuppying more space. So for a deodexed ROM you have less space remaining.
Of course since most of us are using some sort of data2ext this is no big deal, I just wanted to "translate"

BTW Radio has nothing to do with wifi.
Edit : Plus my radio is up to date !
Edit Plus : I tried this rom (K.35) and official 7.1 Rom (K.32) and i found that the both kernels have the same issue, being on K32 or K35 is the same thing for me, i got the same random crashes, which was not the same thing on the old RC1 (which just sometimes crashes when you just power on wifi with sync enabled).
Too bad, Cyanogen 7.1 passed "stable" with this bug.

kindly tell me what do u mean by a
less "invasive" kernel in relations to Stock Kernel

i am growing tired of this... people just use our sources without even bothering to ask first, use the exact same features, rebrand as their own work and if something problematic is found happily blame/point the finger at us...
try get some more features to Xperia 2011 device kernels...
instead of floating same/similar kernels help out in searching for the battery drain issue... if anyone is at all bothered atleast help in testing...
or if no one is interested then atleast tell me that way i wont spend my time working on ARC... wait may be i should stop all kernel work for ARC...
I have an early observation to report, that seems quite interesting.
I lost 8% in 57 minutes using this kernel and BetterBatteryStats app indicates that the phone isn't sleeping properly and there is an entry in Kernel Wakelocks I have never seen in stock kernel, deleted_wake_locks.
Hope this helps!

Doom, although it's not my place to say anything, I figured I'd go ahead and do it anyway.
I understand your frustration because I know how much work you put in your kernels and you are without a doubt one of the most active developers.
And I have to agree that you are the "leader" around here, in the sense that if you don't introduce new features for our phones, no one else does.
The only thing that I wanted to point out is that, in my view, you shouldn't be disappointed when people use your work, if of course they credit you properly,
which I feel is the case here. Adrianom compiled this kernel for his personal use and thought he'd share, which objectively is not such a bad thing.
It's certainly not something that should make you feel like giving up on the Arc altogether, as this would be very sad.
And maybe also consider the way you started compiling kernels using zdzihu's sources and ramdisk (legendary Power To The People )
and slowly learned and shifted to your own sources...
So maybe that will be the case for the people currently using your sources.
I am sure that at the end of the day, your work is truly appreciated the way it deserves to be.
Just my 2 cents.

Here I think you're wrong, I did not say anything was wrong with your kernel, on the contrary, said even that was based on his and the FXP kernel, and I believe that I don't have to ask permission to use an Open Source code, you ask Sony? Google? Linus? I think not.

iridaki,
I think I found the problem, I compile a new version and did some testing for a while and did not generate any deleted_wake_locks.
I would appreciate if you can test again. The boot image is on attach.

Yeaps, I always do that after flashing kernels, as some of my apps FC when I switch kernels. It is my advice to everyone:
clear cache and dalvik cache immediately after flashing a new kernel.

I think version 1.1 was the same problem that version 1.0.
I was led to understand that was not happening because of what I think is a bug in BetterBatteryStats. It change the name of the wifi wakelock to deleted_wake_locks when wifi is disable. I'll keep looking, now for the wifi problem.
Thanks.

Just bear in mind that when you wipe batterystats, you might notice battery percentage decreasing faster at first or inconsistently, so test the kernel for at least 2 battery cycles.

hi letama do you remember me? I'm a mobile programmer I don't know what's usually modded in a kernel used for custom firmwares, but if you need help or testing or need to check code, I can do that
let's rock!
does this mean proper custom roms are now possible as opposed to stock roms with busybox and superuser

No, it's not related. Custom roms were already possible without kernel source, I tried cm9 for instance.
The problem with Archos is that it's not really worth it. Custom to do what? Archos firmware is quite "stock", no bloat to remove, so aosp is quite similar and doesn't bring much.
CM9 is in major work, it's going to be interesting soon but it will require lot's of work to adapt it and make it as stable as stock firmware. It's not too difficult to get basic stuff when mixed with proprietary binaries.
Kernel sources are interesting to:
- learn kernel stuff
- overclock / add governors
- add missing drivers (dvb cards, etc...)
- port to gen8 devices
- debug problems like wifi for instance (bad example, this one will be tough).
great letama !
many works now !
Great news! Now waiting for Ubuntu with the new kernel, WiFi and video hw fully employed. I'm a poor programmer myself but if there is a bug in the software I always run straight into it.

Archos' fw is quite "stock" but it's slower than other ICS firmwares...
I have a Transformer with ICS here, and it's definitely smoother (less lag) than my G9 101..
And it's not a CPU/GPU difference

Agreed, but don't forget memory difference... I'm convinced that it kills omap4 perfs. I guess we'll see with the new turbo 1G.
Anyway, some news back on the subject, overclocking is very easy on this kernel to go from 1G -> 1.2 "standard way" with governors that can be handled by setcpu or other. It seems stable, didn't run extensive tests though.

1. I recommend Rempuzzle kernel for overclocking[Credit: kylon]
2. This is an amazing tweak that can be flashed on any ROM. Improves loading apps and other stuff after boot.[Credit:Tectas, link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395108]
3. HCDR Kernel[amazing one]
Updates
Update 1:To wake up your device with trackball.
#Download the following file [extract the file in zip, it is not flashable] and copy it to system/usr/keylayout/
#Set permissions to rw--r--r--
#Reboot.
Following are FLASHABLE:
Update 2: Sony Bravia Engine for better quality of pictures
Update 3: Latest Superuser, might be unstable have a try!
Update 4: Adrenaline Shot Script, give it a shot as well.
Reserved.
Just a question.
What kind of advantage could a user get from using your ROM compared to others, ie. Rempuzzle?

Ok my bad for jumping on you without checking the zip,screenshot shows an app that is not developer friendly. Promotion of such apps is not good.
Still I standby my words of at least trying to get permissions from the apps developer to include the app in a rom.
Also you could do so much more in reducing the bloat on this if you looked into things a little deeper.
I welcome all new roms so long as the effort is put into making it different from the norm.
Goodluck and I apologize for my over the top previous now edited post.
You would be wise to learn rules and common etiquette regarding xda and developement.

Took the .zip apart.
The ROM doesn't contain any paid apps.
Protip for OP: When putting up screenshots for your ROM, try to not have your own apps on it.

Yep just done the same lol. But there is nothing special here, this could be stripped so much without any issues.

1- we have already the stock rom you only add " boost " and zipalign.
2- kylon already do that.

Don't be so stupid...........
This could possibly be the start of another great rom for the wildfire. Probably not but still give the guy a chance before you jump down his throat. I know i normally jump on the bandwagon or even start it rolling when so called devs open threads with something we already have but apart from some silly mistakes in the op (*****ing about other roms bugs and saying this is the smoothest experience) i can't see anything wrong with him posting a new stock rom. Just think if people didn't take stock roms or stock aosp roms and modify them you wouldn't have cm, miui, lewa, mokee os etc etc
I'm not saying this rom will be the next *any of the above* as thats impossible for one man to create from a froyo rom but give him a little chance.
Only thing i'd ask the mods to do is delete every post in this thread except the first few......
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I hear what your saying there scratch, I agree on giving him a chance. As ive said if its got something different! Then why not. On looking at the rom its not got any special twists or turns I'm afraid. As we both know sense roms are somewhat the easier to mod and make look quite unique to our likings. I still wish otf the best of luck with this though.
I also + 1 on mods to delete all posts baring initial op and lets start again.
O/T have you sorted all your issues out now with your s2 mate? Been a bit too busy lately to stalk you

Sorry guys, I'm no developer. I'm just 17..I just wished to share my try on a perfect rom. As the world caters to bright pages I designed the first one. However it's upto u to have it or forget it. Really sorry about blackmart. But almost all the apps I have are free. Hope u treat it as a way u would have expected had it been ur first thread.
Edit: Hello all, at first I didnt get what u guys were saying. Now I get it. I need to clarify. This zip never contained any paid/free apps. Im educated at least till this level. The screenshots are my personal!! Hope u understand this and change your posts. Pl consider this. And im not a stupid person to change zips so fast as someone said earlier.
