Root Gingerbread Kernels???

SolidOrange · Jan 27, 2011

anybody got a list? we have a few GB ROMs out now, and i have seen it asked in multiple threads with no answer. do the froyo kernels from chevy/slayher work? i know liquid posted some with his GBv1 ROM, but those are absolutely brutal on my battery. I am now using UD 3.0.0 RC2 and it is sweet, but i would like to run a little higher than the stock 800mHz.

Someone on the UD forums said that ChevyNo1's froyo kernels work with UD3.0, but frankly I've been too nervous to try it.

Hopefully blackdroid will make some higher-clocking kernels before the final 3.0 of UD comes out.

Use the milestone overclock app. You don't need to switch from the stock kernel because BD didn't change it from the CM kernel. It is way better than having to find kernels that are good for battery or keeps your phone cool yadda yadda yadda. I may also note that since using this my battery has been pretty good. It has lasted me through the day ever since I started using it. You can find the thread by going to the CM section of droid forums.

will milestone clock it past 800mHz?? i am already using SetCPU and it says 800 is the highest the stock kernel from 3.0.0 RC2 will go.

AMEN!!!!!!

1000 MHz vsel = 66 (default value for 800) - rock solid.

thank you someone on this forum knows how awesome this app is. I am telling you, the best way to overclock the droid to date. You can set it to any speed that your phone can handle. If you try a speed and your phone doesn't like it then just reboot the phone and you will be fine.

Just now getting around to trying this and I am getting a "failed to load module" error when I try to run MilestoneOC.

For the most part any kernel that works on Froyo AFAIK will work on Gingerbread. IIRC, our 'old' kernel version was 2.6.29 and back in the day the tethering features were stripped out of the (then) upcoming 2.6.32 kernel, which the use of was fully implemented with the Froyo update. So, unless the Gingerbread update is also going to include a kernel update, we should be good.

As far as the Milestone OC, I may have to look into it again, but the last I heard, it really only worked on a CM 6.x.x rom with the kernel that was stock for said rom.

figures, guess i'll uninstall. i have seen people post that they have gotten froyo kernels to work, but i am too chicken to try it until i have a confirmed report from a trusted source. like i said before, it has been asked in almost every GB ROM thread, but i still haven't seen a cut and dry "yes".

johnlgalt · Jan 27, 2011

Teddy & Orange, it works on UD 3 GB beta (haven't tried the RC yet, but which uses the stock GB kernel as compiled from the CM source) plus Jeffv2's GB ROM (same), and, of course, CM7 nightlies.

I've used it on all three - no issues until I tried to use a ridiculously low vsel with a 1200 MHz OC kernel lol...

However, you need to have the stock GB kernel installed - I'm not sure yet, but I think LGB may not be using stock (IIRC, my LFY 1.7-1.96 always had Slayher's kernels with them)

i am using UD 3.0.0 RC2 with the kernel that was included in the install and MilestoneOC will not work for me. every time i open it and click "load module" it says "failed to load module". i have tried rebooting and stopping SetCPU in application settings but neither of them help solve the issue. sounds to me like the kernel was changed for RC2, although i can't look because device info is not in the Android settings section of UD, and you cannot get to the UD extras menu on RC2 for whatever reason. if you have any other solutions, i would love to hear them, but honestly it would just be easier for me to flash .zips the old way at this point. :eek:

Is the UD settings a known issue, or just you?

If it is just you, did you wipe before installing RC2?

If it is not just you, and is a known issue, (and IIRC, I remember seeing BD saying that he was moving to a custom kernel soon when I was on B1) then yeah, you're out of luck as far as the Milestone OC app is concerned.

I know that these kernels will work for sure, b/c Liquid has them linked for his GB release: Index of /DL/LGB/KERNELS

UD settings is a known issue, it is listed in the "broken" section of the changelog for RC2 and although it says you can open by long pressing the search button, i (and others) cannot. i know about Liquids kernels, but they are devastating on my battery which is really the only reason i switched from LiquidGB v1 to UD 3.0.0 RC2 in the first place.

You might need to download the module off of the original thread on droid forums. There is a link to the app developers wiki page in the op. That's what I needed to do and it worked. But to answer other questions, yes froyo kernels work on GB and UD3 RC2 uses the same kernel as CM.

SolidOrange · Jan 27, 2011

greatly appreciated everyone, i am gonna go back to my tried and true froyo version of slayher's 1.2 for now. i don't want to get into workarounds for another app when i know that his kernels work great on my phone. thanks again for the MilestoneOC info, and i may revisit it in the future, but at this point it is much easier (for me) to do it the old way.

johnlgalt · Jan 27, 2011

This thread has a lot of really good info: [Tut] Milestone OC Application [Tut] - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

The first post alone should help most people with issues with the Milestone OC app.

It also has links for he Google Code homepage of the app, and lots of other little good info.

johnlgalt · Jan 27, 2011

And you're forgetting one thing - his kernels have worked good thus far on your phone - make a backup, stranger things can happen than inconsistencies when using a kernel from a previous ROM generation.

It should work - but remember, this is a very very new ROM....

Triplanetary · Jan 28, 2011

I'm now trying ChevyNo1's 1100 MHz kernel in GB. No problems so far.

obstar85 · Feb 4, 2011

Right now I am running a P3 1200Mhz LV on UD 3.0 and it is doing better than expected. Battery is better than it used to be at 1100 and the phone stays cooler all the time. I did have some issues with running Slayher kernels but it just took going through the list to find the ones that did work.

William T Riker · Feb 11, 2011

Chevyno1's low voltage 1.2 kernel is working fine for me on Pete's GPA10 build, had no issues with it.

Right not I'm using Chevy's ULV 1100MHz kernel with Pete's GB ROM with no problems. I've used it with C-ROM Beta 1 and 2 as well.

i know your issue is a couple weeks old,but did you dowload the milestone app from the market? or the droid-specific .apk from the above droid forums thread?

using the market app will not work on the droid 1,and will give the "module failed to load" error you got.

the .apk worked great for me with cm7 and a kernel from the cyangenmod nightlies discussion thread(somewhere aound page 59 iirc). i tried it at 1200 for awhile and then dialed it back to 1000. i use setcpu to control charging/screen off/low battery profiles.
