Change Log (0.8.4):

• Compcache is now available in the kernel. This will be off by default, but can be enabled via Spare Parts or with a custom init if you would like to use it

This is another very minor update that removes the 125MHz slot from all kernels except for stock and adjusts the other slots accordingly. Enjoy!

Change Log (0.8.3):

• By popular demand: Removed 125MHz option from all clock settings except stock and added additional clock settings to compensate

This is a very minor update – if you are on 0.8.0 or 0.8.1, you most likely have no need to update unless you want the new voltage settings or use Test Mode:

Change Log (0.8.2):

• Added a test fix for the “Test Mode Networking” issue
• Previously unlabeled or LV labeled kernels are now considered “Standard Voltage”
• Added new Low Voltage kernel options with settings from P3Droid

This is a very minor update – if you are on 0.8.0, you most likely have no need to update:

Change Log (0.8.1):

• Added a possible fix for the “Test Mode Networking” issue
• Added support for Increased Voltage kernels

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v5.0.5.3/5.0.5.4. The stock version of this kernel will be the next default kernel for this ROM.

All versions of the Kernel are available in ROM Manager under CyanogenMod – bekit Kernels

Donations are not necessary; however if you would like to put any money toward my work, here are two donation options:

• Sponsor the ACODO Orphanage
• Sponsor my walk for the March of Dimes

Features:

• Built from the latest OMAP 2.6.29 source from Google
• Includes latest relevant patches from Google’s OMAP 2.6.32 branch
• Netfilter options enabled for wired & wireless tethering
• Wired-tether support backported from AOSP 2.6.32
• Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
  • Includes voltage settings from AdamZ (Thanks!)
• Optional 7 CPU Slot versions available
• CPU Governors available: conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace, performance
• ext2/3/4 support in kernel
• SWAP support enabled in kernel (must be activated in user mode – not recommended)
• OMAP temperature sensor (SGX)
• USB Performance patch (SGX)

Available Clock Options

Change Log (from 0.7.0):

• Streamlined kernel config to reduce kernel size and more closely match Cyanogen’s config
• Added multiple kernel options to allow users to chose 5 and 7 CPU slots of various speeds
• Merged latest patches from 2.6.29
• Merge latest relevant patch from 2.9.32
• Added conservative and powersave CPU governors
• Integrated ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems into the kernel
• Integrated TUN functionality into the kernel

Note that this has NOT been tested with any other ROM and will most likely not work on them without modification.

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v1.0.2. If this tests well, it will most likely be integrated into the next release of Koush’s ROM.

Features:

• Built from the latest stable 2.6.29 source from google
• Netfilter options enabled for wireless tethering
• Wired-tether support backported from AOSP 2.6.32
• Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
• ext2/3/4 support via modules
• OMAP temperature sensor (SGX)
• USB Performance patch (SGX)

Change Log:

• USB Performance patch (SGX)
• OMAP Hardware temp sensor (SGX)
• Updated compile method (now using Koush’s true build process)
• Default boot speed set to 600MHz
• Added TUN back to the default build (no module needed)
• Added a non-overclock version that uses stock frequencies and voltage

This is currently running on my Droid, overclocked at 1GHz.

Note that this has NOT been tested with any other ROM and will most likely not work on them without modification.

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v1.0.1. This will most likely be integrated into the next release of Koush’s ROM.

Features:

• Built from the latest stable 2.6.29 source from google
• Netfilter options enabled for wireless tethering
• Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
• ext3/4 support via modules

Change Log:

• Reduced the number of CPU Frequency options to five to avoid some known bugs with having more than five slots
• Added ext3/ext4 support via modules
• Pulled TUN out of the kernel and into a module
• Removed some kernel debug options for some extra speed boost

This is currently running on my Droid, overclocked at 1GHz.

My father’s phone continued to have issues with the last hybrid SM2.0.3/DM1.0 build that I posted here.  After having him run for a while on a limited kernel that I compiled, I finally updated him to a newer kernel that I made.

This new build is hybrid build of DroidMod and my own custom kernel. This one has most of the bells & whistles (including the ability to overclock), but it boots at the standard 550MHz. This should prevent the problems found in the DM1.0 release, while still giving you the ability to experiment with overclocking (AT YOUR OWN RISK) if you so choose; to do so, just get SetCPU from the market and try it out.

I really need to bring my own wiki online for notetaking. In the meantime, here are some things to remember for working with Android on the Droid

It seems that a percentage of Droid phones are having a problem updating to the latest version of DroidMod (formally SholesMod). The current consensus is that this problem is stemming from a difference in how some of the Droids are handling different clock rates, and the fact that the newest builds are defaulting to an 800MHz overclock.

Thanks to the fact that my father’s phone has this issue (brand new Droid), and I’ve been spending three days trying to root it via directions over Skype; I have put together a ROM package that works around this bug.
