No, the changes were only on the software side. This kernel should still work.
does anyone here use OC kernels just to amp up the triumph for gaming or cpu intensive applications but keep the voltage at stock otherwise? does it have a noticeable effect .
Hey i found out why this breaks wifi on his latest build, after looking at his github, he didn't change nothing in the acutal kernel, but he changed some stuff in the ramdisk. He changed init.qcom.rc so I will have to update my CM kernel with these changes and rebuild a new version and the hotspot should work. I should have it up tonight!
Going back and forth to different oc kernels and noticed on yours that interactivex maxes out at 921 mhz, is this normal?
Yeah interactiveX is a modified interactive made to save battery more. What is your max oc when running interactiveX. Cause it should just use 921MHz and a step and if the cpu load is a certain amount it will scale up or scale down.
@Thangfish, sweet I was hoping that's all I would have to do in order to fix it. I'm glad people are starting to like my kernels. There is only many many more additions planned for this line of kernels!

Awesome kernel!! Thanks for making a fast phone even faster!!
Tested using CM7 vB.08
Just some things I found out. I did some benchmarks on the triumph on stock speeds (in cm7), oc 1.6GHz and 2.0GHz using the smartassV2 gov.
OC 2.0GHz (Unstable duhhh?)
Linpack: 64~ mflops (precision would show inconsistent results occasionally)
Quadrant: 3400 (would consistently get lower results than OC 1.6GHz)
After a couple linpack tests, my phone restarted and 2.0GHz was still in my setCPU settings. Shouldn't there be a safeguard to reset the cpu to defaults in case of unstable clocks?
For kicks and giggles

Reason: clarification
Yeahs setcpu should include that, but they provide a safemode cwm flashable zip that will remove any set max frequency value and allow it to go back to the default at boot. Its a valuable zip to have on your sdcard.
When I used TheOC kernel I had clock speed control under the Settings, Cyenagenmod Settings. Performance, CPU Settings but with this I don't have it. only shows 1024 and 245. Is it supposed to be like that and just install SetCPU
I never could use that on the stock cm7 kernel so I don't know it should work just like the other ones. Yes I am going to use Isaac's driver in my next builds!

It fixes it but doesnt add more inputs it still is 2 touches only and sometimes its hard to type on the keyboard/play games with that :/ from what I heard it is possible to add more inputs. I could provide a link if that would help?

You're awesome! My Intercept is working fabulous with your hard work put in it. Thanks.
Now I am moving on to the Motorola Triumph because of the ridiculously good deal over cyber Monday ($300 MSRP - 50% Cyber Monday deal - 20% off coupon - 24% Fatwallet cash back = $92)
So now I find out your developing for the Triumph and I just want to be all over that too.
The issue is I cant download your Kernel for the CM7 ROM, the link you posted is blocked as a private link???
It seems others have been able to download it and install it with no problem. Could you please repost a public link.
Thanks again my good man!

Okay I have question and it's probably a dumb one.
What are you guys using to monitor your phone's temperature?? I've used several widgets.. varying from the measuring of battery temperature to the measuring of CPU temperature.
The thing is, no matter what I am doing on the phone it ALWAYS says 24.5 degrees Celsius... which can't be right.. especially today when my phone was laying out in my car during 16 degree temperatures for over an hour and it still read the same temp. Does the Triumph even have a temp sensor in it?

Only the battery does. DO you have an aftermarket battery?
Ah!! Thank you! THAT'S what it is.. I have a 1500mah Anker battery. I may switch back to the stock 1380mah cause I like to see the temp. Plus, I'm not noticing too much of a difference in battery life with the Anker battery. I average 3 to 4 percent an hour (idle time) on both batteries.
Thanks again for reminding me of that LOL I forgot I had a replacement battery
Hey, I just found your kernel, wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work. I will flash this kernel later tonight, really like how you're pulling in enhancements from later linux kernels!
UPDATE: Installed without any problems but I can't adjust frequencies in Settings -> CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings. Can the frequency tables be added back there? Shouldn't have to install another app to just adjust the CPU frequencies, it's one of the nice features of CM7. Thanks.
UPDATE2: going back to TheOC kernel, even though the enhancements seem nice, but there's serious battery drain issues even in airplane mode with this kernel, about 1-2%/hr, whereas its < 0.2%/hr on theOC.

Another request I have is to be able to undervolt to 650 & lower (my lucky phone can handle 650 for 122-1024 Mhz, tried it on TheOC kernel). Right now this kernel seems to limit it to 750. With 66 Mhz & lower possible, lower voltage to go along would make sense.
Yes right now actually lol!! I added the stock rom 0.24-DEV version and the CM7 0.5 version.
I updated the changelof, and it has isaacs touchscreen driver(I haven't added anymore multitouch inputs) and I made it possible to uv down to 650mV. There are also some other tweaks and stuff in there(not many). But it runs smooth. I also added a few governors as well(minmax, lagfree, scary)

Even with the stock kernel in CM7 I have never been able to change frequencies in the cyanogenmod settings. I don't know why not. I always use setcpu though. As for the battery drain I will have to look into it, are you using the same governor and stuff on both kernels when testing. Maybe this update will help it out somewhat!
TG disabled frequency tables in his stock kernel in CM7. Mantera added it back in theOC, which is probably how CM7 settings reads it. For the battery drain, yes I made sure to use the same settings in both kernels to compare differences. I believe your kernel's extra enhancements (compared to stock & theOC) may be causing wakeups from deep sleep regularly.
I may try the 0.5 version after I've drained this charge on my phone (so far it's going to take a while, 48 hrs off the charger and I still have 86% left

Okay I enabled frequency stats in 0.5. Yeah tell me how it goes cause in 0.5 I added some more stuff from manteras kernel. If not it's probably tinyrcu

Just tried the 0.5 CM7 kernel and still get major drain in idle. Current Widget shows about 50-80 mA with screen off. About 2-3% in 1 hour. Whereas same settings on theOC kernel is 0 mA and < 1%/hr.
Also the CM7 settings for performance - CPU frequency still shows an empty dialog box so can't set frequencies from there yet. I was able to set 650 mV in this version though.

If you are using setcpu (or other app) to set freqs, you can't set them using CM7. If you uninstall (or disable setcpu or whatever?) You should get access via CM7.

I never installed setCPU (or any other app outside of CM7 settings for setting frequencies) on my phone, just have been going without that feature on kernels that didn't support them (stock & bkernel).

Sure you can. The frequencies can show up in both places and you can set them in either place.
@brandon: the only thing that jumps out at me in your config is this; try setting it to y:
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS is not set
Other than that, i'd say compare your config file to mine and see what's different. I'm pretty sure it's just a config setting.

Switched back to 0.4 on CM7 final for this very reason. Major drain that I never had with any other version. With 0.4 I was able to get rid of JD and have same if not better life. Great work on these kernels, and on all your MT work!

I'm not a programmer, but I was wondering. how hard it would be to create an app that would just stress the chipset in a way that would have results that could be checked to a known result? Kinda like prime95, but expanded to include the gpu and any other parts that are messed with by theese kernels.
When I run linpak, it shows "inaccurate result" sometimes, and this can be on the stock vdd. I have run the stress test in setcpu and let it go over night, and got "no errors"

There's already an app on the market called "Stability Test" that does pretty much all of this.

I've been running current widget and I noticed that it monitors the battery, not the cpu. I may have missunderstood. I would think that it would be hard to notice small changes in power consumption using this method. Personally, my best tool to read current is down to a few mA. Works for finding a draw in a car, not on a phone.

We're lucky to even have this on the MT (it's not available in the OV for example). You can easily calculate the CPU component of the draw by subtracting an idle phone with screen on vs a loaded CPU with screen on. I prefer battery draw since that takes into account everything that could draw power. It's how one would measure it with a real multimeter (which is the other method), but a little harder to do (I've heard of using double-sided tape and inserting probes in between the contacts where the battery meets the phone, never got it to work on my OV).
