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.

Note that this has NOT been tested with any other ROM and will most likely not work on them without modification. For a DroidMod 1.0 version, please see this post: New DroidMod 1.0 Boot-Loop Workaround (v0.3)

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.

Summary: it took about an hour to go from boarding the bus for Avis rentals, to getting into my car at the Avis lot. National > Avis any day.

Details:

When I boarded the Avis bus at the MIA terminal, it was already fairly filled up (no seats were left / standing room only / most of the luggage racks were full). Several people then continued to fill in behind me. After we were already filled to what had to be capacity, the driver then proceeded to ask each passenger for his/her last name to enter them into the computer – while he left the doors open at the terminal. Each time he couldn’t find someone by name, he would ask to see their Avis card and do a lookup by wizard number. Since the doors were open, additional people crammed onto the bus – and the driver would get back up, walk back to the new people, ask them for their names, and begin the process again. This repeated several times as folks crammed tighter and tighter onto the bus. During this time, the busses for National, Hertz, and others made at least three passes of the terminal while we stood packed into the bus.

For some reason, I woke up at around 5am and have yet to get back to sleep. When I first couldn’t get to sleep, I looked for something to do and decided to try to figure out why my “recent comments” sidebar hasn’t been showing up, and maybe look at why I was seeing some other weirdness when posting lately. This lead me down a long winding path: (more…)

An update has been posted with some changes that I wanted, plus some from comment requests.

1.1.0 Changes:

• Hardware volume buttons now change Media Player (and therefore the click) volume
• Louder overall click
• The trackball can now be used to make the click

(more…)

As requested by by Dana – Clicker

This is a very simple app to emulate a clicker used for pet training; useful for when you don’t want to carry a real clicker at all times. Volume is set by the phone’s Media Volume.

For information on the training style, search for “Clicker Training” online.

Future plans:
Volume Control
A better picture/icon
Different Clicker sounds

I wish my panic button actually did something…
