Just an update:

1) thanks for the slots!  
Using the 1100 on interactive seems to be working pretty well. The issue I had with some kernels over several variations is that conservative didn't drop quickly enough. I only found one kernel (by "Jake") that would quickly ramp down. In essence, governor seems to do this very well if there's no load after initial activity. So the battery life looks pretty good. My battery usually drops 10% for each half hour to full hour of use. With this kernel, I've been looking at JuicePlotter and seeing just over an hour and one of the drops was about 1.5 hours. These are preliminary results as it's my first day of true testing. JuicePlotter shows battery is running pretty cool when sleeping or in wake lock mode. Everything seems pretty spiffy so far.

No, the kernels have different power management systems in the way of governors.  This is just a feature added to the kernel and is accessed using Setcpu.

I have to say, the interactive governor seems pretty awesome. Thanks for bringing it to the Droid.

I want to say for all the people that had bootloops, you may want to try again.  It seems that a slight issue between the wifi module and the wifi binaries in the RC was causing an issue.  With a new nightly, it may boot for you

btw adding a link to first post for v1.5, that has the ipv6 module load on boot.  Turns out the CM init script uses modprobe which looks in the lib/${uname -r}/modules for the file, which doesnt exist on the droid.

slayher, I'm so happy with this kernel (I'm running the 1.1Ghz LV). I've run the 1.1Ghz LV kernels from ChevyNo1, P3Droid and now you on my current ROM (Liquid Frozen Yogurt v1.4) and I'm averaging Quadrant scores in excess of 100 higher on yours (in interactive mode) than my average scores for Chevy or P3 (in ondemand mode). And, forgetting the benchmark, my phone is running cooler, feels smoother and snappier and is rock stable. Amazing!

I've been raving about your kernels in the LFY threads and the folks there who have tried them are reporting similar results.  Just thought you'd want to know!

Thank you   I am glad people are enjoying them!

That is amazing. Are you getting 2000+? or were you getting sub 1000 on other kerns? or is that a typo?

That's a typo!  Wow, thanks for catching that -- it should be 100.  I'm editing my post!

Are the v1.5 kernels LV or SV? I could not get your initial 1100 kernel to run, but the v1.5 works fine.

Filename = "slayher_7X1200LV_v1.5.zip"....so I'm guessing LV

Oops, I didn't pay attention did I? Glad to have the low voltage one working, I'm sure it will be easier on the battery life

[droiddadi]

Does these kernels works with CM6 RC3? How is battery life in general?

[phin123]

It seems the boot loop happens for me when the kernel is flashed when at < 70% battery.

Not sure if it will reboot when at low battery once it's flashed, I switched back to another kernel.

[BoddhiC21]

Slayher, I have a quick question. Is compcache enabled in these kernels? If not, is it in the works for the future?

Not right now, but I am working on getting it in there.  I used to have everything but My computer died and I lost the binaries, so now I am getting everything back and into the kernel.

Excellent!

slayher....thank you so much for the awesome kernels!!! i'm amazed at how much snappier my droid seems to be. I'm not sure about battery life because quite frankly i dont know of any real way of keeping track of it. perhaps i'll try juiceplotter like a previous poster. I do have one request though. can you make a low voltage kernel with a low end of 125Mhz? (high end doesnt matter too much as I only really clock it as high as 900Mhz...i dont like draining my battery more than absolutely necessary and tbh at 900 my droid with your kernel and the new cpu governer is perfect.) Thanks in advance.

Great job!  Always loved your themes and now the new kernel is amazing.  It is completely stable for me, but if I try to flash the Evo theme for RC3 that's when I start getting bootloops.  I'm not sure why this would happen, but I've played around with it quite a bit and your kernel and that theme just can't play nice together.  I'm currently just using your kernel with the most recent nightly, but would love to get the theme added back on.  Any ideas??  Thanks again for all your hard work and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[intangibleDroid]

I flashed the 8/20 nightly, booted, flashed the v1.5 1100 MHz kernel, rebooted and get "Error" under the WiFi status.

Any suggestions?

I'd 2nd this request - perhaps a 125-1250? w/ compcache & ipv6?    past that, your kernel's are rockin'!!! THX for all your hard work!
