Root [Kernel] Power Kernel by Mobstergunz

[Faydes]

"Android is upgrading" simply means that your dalvik and cache was cleared. This happens every time those two caches are cleared, like when you first install a new kernel and clear them, which is customary. That shouldnt be happening on every boot though

its something on the zx3d or whatever its called rom..happens every time

 

[reddeaddorito]

"This" what????

._. I was agreeing with you.

No one has answered that question yet

Maybe he included extra governors. You can install SetCPU and take a look if there are CPU governors like smartassv2, lagfree, etc. those would indicate a custom kernel.

 

[thebryceee]

I wish it had smartass v2

How did you build this? Did HTC release the ICS kernel source somewhere?

 

[flboy91]

Same govs as stock... I dnt c or feel a difference... Mayb it didn't properly install... Who knows??? because we sure as hell aren't getting answers...

You can try flashing it using flash image gui, an app

How large was the file for u guys because mine was on 3.7mb

 

[koopakid08]

I flashed using flash image gui. Seems faster but then again there really is no way to tell if it actually worked

 

[Mobstergunz]

Source wasn't released yet so I can't add governers, schedulers, or overclock without breaking something..... But I can improve kernels like I did with this one

How did anthrax come about then?

How do u tell if you're running it?

If it (Kernel) flashed successfully and your phone has improved......

Anthrax is a hybrid kernel between Evo 3D 2.3 Source and CM9 4.0.4 Source that's why theres No 3D, 4G, USB Mass Storage, ect......

 

[reddeaddorito]

Usually people don't look for improvements they look for Flaws, Loss of Stability, Broken features, and Lags........

You won't find any of that with this kernel so when people see their phone performing perfectly fine with no Loss of Features or Stability they question whether the Kernel has had any effect.....

I can guarantee you this kernel makes the improvements listed in the OP just compare it to the Stock kernel....... Camera Quality is better, Asphalt 6 or any other game's Audio doesn't sound choppy like it did with stock, and I have yet to see one Lag while using Power Kernel

I don't think I flashed it right.

I have S-ON and I just flashed the zip through 4ext.

Aren't I supposed to do something else?

What are the exact steps to installing a kernel with S-ON?

 

[thebryceee]

You gotta extract the boot.img from the zip then select "flash boot image" in 4EXT in the recovery menu then find the boot.img you extracted then select it.

I knew I was missing something

Where's flash boot image?

 

[thebryceee]

In the recovery menu in 4EXT

 

[reddeaddorito]

In the recovery menu in 4EXT

I have the recovery, but the app costs money.

 

[thebryceee]

Oh. Yeah. I spent the $3 lol

anthrax oc kernel does have working 4g..but many many other problems..i used it for a while but my phone started random rebooting all the time

 

[thebryceee]

You're not paying just to flash a kernel. You're paying for someone's dedicated work that happens to work really well.

I tried it out and thought $3 was justified. I have no regrets.

did htc finally release the source for the phone ?

 

[thebryceee]

No

 

[koopakid08]

because it's something essential to rooting.

No rooting is essential to rooting. Flashing a kernel is essential to flashing a kernel but requires rooting. So rooting is essential to kernel flashing but not the other way around.

You want free go get s off. It's not like 4 ext is the only way to flash a kernel.

That's what I meant.

I don't feel like S-OFFing, nor do I feel like flashing another recovery.
