FOR 1.5 ROMS ONLY.
- As I understood, you can flash this on any 1.5 ROM (especially with teknologist kernels) and than overclock the machine. Roland -
Thanks to teknologist, maxisma, toastcfh, and all those who contributed to cracking the CPU open for overclocking.
Looking at the CDMA forums, it seems they were a step ahead of us with their kernel speedups. With help from their work, and particularly, from toastcfh, I've been able to patch and compile a kernel based on teknologist 1.9 with added features and speed.
Added features and changes so far:
- BFS, brainfuck scheduler. Basically, helps the CPU respond faster.
- Overclock. Up to 768MHz is enabled, but defaults to a safer 595MHz. It should be compatible with SetCPU. Be sure to use the custom setting.
- Deadline I/O scheduler. It should make file read and write operations a tad faster. We'll see if it really does.
Git repository coming soon. Stay tuned!
It runs at 595MHz! How do I make it faster?
Download and install SetCPU. It's available for free on xda-developers, but you can support the author by buying a copy on the market. Download setcpu.txt and place it in the root of your SD card. And then, launch SetCPU and pick the custom option.
Can I flash this on recovery?
The first overclocked kernel was available only as sources, and binaries had to be flashed manually. Lightspeed comes as a standard update.zip package to be flashed through recovery though.
Does Wi-fi work?
Yes.
Does compcache/ramzswap work?
No idea. I don't use it.
Does the CPU frequency scale to usage?
It should, if you keep the ondemand CPU governor. Some ROMs default to the performance governor though, which runs the CPU at the maximum setting when the screen is on, and at the minimum setting when the screen is off. Configurable through SetCPU.
Do you accept donations?
Not yet, as my work so far has just been putting other people's work together. My priority now is to make our phones better, not to make money.
