Kitkat Kernels for All (well most!)

[Max One]

Strange, I'm using a 70" in HD and I don't have a size issue... Though I am using finless's boot1080_large

Right, small icons u will only get uf u use HD Kernel with 720 Boot image.


Summary:

2 ways to get larger icons

SD kernel + boot720.img or
HD Kernel + boot1080_large.img

Small icons

HD Kernel + boot720.img


And what about SD Kernel + boot1080_large.img? I´ve tested it, everything is uberbig. The docksymbols are on the right side of the screen (vertical).

Maybe the KK navbar is missing with this combination but to be honest i dont like the KK navbar. Im using Auto Hide Soft Keys.

@noderat
For 70 inch TV maybe the best combo, you should test it.



The boot images u will get here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9BF...dWc/edit?pli=1

A few things:

1. I took the 2.07 kernel, removed the .config and applied this to the current code base to get the DDR/GPU unlock applied and sent to MaxOne. He reports the same problem on booting and so it appears the unlock is causing it. Sorry.

2. Bob and I are working on the new 'Official' KitKat release, I've already got a new kernel prepared from scratch with full unlock. Much cleaner than the beta ones. Be patient.

3. If you use build.prop editor you can change the icon size on the desktop to suit. I personly use a setting of 200 for HD and 160 for SD.

Yo D33,

2. That sounds great, i can and i will wait. I´ve tested the official KK release already , all i can say its nice and Wifi Display is also working, woohoo.

3. Nice, im gonna test it now.


So for this thread, the beta kernel development has officially stopped.

Unless you would rather I don't bother with the new stuff?

Maybe it's not new for you guys but this kernel for t works like a charm on my lg tv but doesn't work on cheap logik tv that I use upstairs....Same stick different tv. Strange

Try set it down to 720p and then connect to logic TV again, any difference?

Yeah I tried sd and hd versions and with sd I managed to boot up but had reboots every few minutes.

Make sure you set 720p in the android settings. Try different refresh rates as well.

Thanks for clarifying!

By the way, do you now how I could test my RAM/CPU/GPU more in depth?
D33 claims that having OC above 1800/600/720 would cripple my hardware in real life performance, I haven't noticed this at all. To be sure I'd like to do a more thorough analysis.
Thanks!

I have an LG TV too. Presumably why I don't see the problems others report.

Me too, but I've experienced extreme flickering on SONY Bravia panels.

No issues with Vizio E-Series in 50" or 70" or with 42" LG panel either.

Not quite true. I said the performance gains above 1.8/600/720 are not really there. You can OC above on all three but the linear gain breaks down for the reasons I said.

I have clocked to the same values you said and cheated by compiling shorter wait states in but the gains were minimal and the heat worrying.

Thank you D33. Since I have sufficient cooling heat is not an issue (it is definitely an issue w/o). I didn't expect linear gain, I'm more interested to see if I am over taxing my hardware w/o realizing it.
I was thinking you were also curious to see what performance we could get from the little guy.
Anyway, if there are any tests you'd like me to perform I'm up for it!
