but i think they are the same rite? juz different names for diff. regions

I tried to install the kernel by ROM Manager but I cant boot into the recovery provided. So i tried to install the kernel by open recovery but i then got stucked in the bootloader page...

[Kazuya]

btw can anyone tell what is the correct procedures to install a kernel?
should i flash the GOT2.2.1 -> kernel -> RC5?

i saw some users talked about installing nightly before installing the kernel? what are they?

sorry for raising too many questions =p

Thanks Creepy =]
I juz tried to flash the kernel (1000/v1.6) provided at the first page but I got stucked in the bootloader page and cant go on...

How can i get rid of it?

Hey man, sorry if this isn't loads of help, but did you Nandroid backup?  You could just boot into recovery and reflash if you did...?

Otherwise - you may try grabbing a different (or stock) kernel somewhere, boot into recovery - mount your usb, get it on the card, and install the zip from sd?

[Kazuya]

Thanks man
but i wonder if i should start installing the kernel at stable cm or some nightlies tht i hv seen in other posts. coz previously i was started at cm RC 4 and got stucked at the bootloader

Perhaps you're right.  At least the 6.1 stable is out now (and awesome I may add).  I'm on the 1200LV kernel, it beats (in normal usage) my old DINC.

[paOol]

you guys can find the LFY kernels here

[Kazuya]

Hey guys. I can't install the kernels using clockworkmod recovery from Rom manager. Is tht I did something wrong?

I have tried all the methods used above and still get wifi error on my wifes droid running cm6.1 stable and  1g slayher kernel

Count me in as another unsatisfied customer.

My Droid seems to hate both the 1.6 and LFY kernels even with the Wi-Fi fix.  When things worked, both the CPU and battery temps were ridiculously high to the point where my failsafe profiles (>42C battery, >50C OMAP3, and >55C OMAP3) were frequently kicking in.  This was with hardly any activity.  Even when I clocked the phone down to 800 MHz it was still unacceptably toasty when compared to much cooler kernels like Chevy's ULV.

If that weren't bad enough, I made the mistake of turning on the Wi-Fi radio and was greeted with the dreaded bootloops.  The Wi-Fi fix did not work with either the 1.6 or LFY kernels.

So it's back to P3Droid for me...


Edit:  Tried the 1 GHz, 900 MHz, and 800 MHz kernels.

I've been using 1200LV v1.6 since September on CM6.0 and I couldn't be happier! Everything works perfectly, and my phone is easily 2-3 times as fast as it was before, rock stable, no wifi problems at all. I just updated to CM6.1.1 this morning and put the slayher kernel back on this ROM, and it's working great as usual.

I just want to say thanks - great work!

[triggerftu]

Quick quesiton. when CM7 comes into play will these kernels need updating? if so will you be updateing the Kernels for the newer ROM support.

[Vire]

I would imagine they would need to be upgraded, considering the OS architecture will change to some degree. After all, we did have some issues with these kernels while 6.1 was being developed and released.

[Vinnie G]

I'm not sure if it's a cm7 problem or the 300-1200 kernel, but I cannot get data over wifi.  At all.

[kprz24]

Slayher your kernel use work great on my old Droid1 but it broke i got it replaced and now every time i try to flash it with the latest nightly i get stuck in boot loop

For the WiFi issues, from the main post:

***For those having issues with WiFi, flash the latest nightly, let it boot, then flash my kernel.  There were some issues that have been fixed.***

If you are having issues with "Wifi Error" try this driver  Put it in /system/lib/modules

For the bootloop problem, from the main post:

IF you are Having BOOT LOOPS Install this zip Wifi Fix

I have a question about the kernel, why don't SetCPU's "Time in State" numbers show up? Also, I noticed that the battery usage breakdown by app also doesn't work, it will only show a few system apps.

Is there a plan to fix/incorporate this? Or is there an easy fix that can be done by the user?

Thanks!

But what if we don't want the nightly? Is he trying to imply that we should flash the nightly, then the kernel, then flash back to stable? Because that'll just overwrite the kernel. I suppose after step 2, you can use advanced nandroid restore selectively restore everything except the old kernel... Should say that though.

[Skurvy_Pirate]

No, I think he is saying using the latest nightly will fix it. So flash nightly->flash kernel = fix. If there is a reason that you don't want to use the nightly build then you might have to wait. What is the problem you are having?

[rockingondrums]

Yeah I figured waiting would be involved. But it's been a really long time since the kernels were updated.

Although actually, I tried flashing back to slayher last night and I started getting boot loops, which I never had before. I have the Gingerbread theme though that's probably what did it. I think I'd rather have a phone that looks like GB than have the ability to use Google Goggles, though it'd be nice to try.

One of the other kernels provides very vague instructions on "insmod" ipv6, the exact commands of which are not detailed. So, meh.
