[KERNEL]TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 (0.6.0.1) [OC/UV][Voodoo Color & Sound v10][ZRAM][EXT4] - Captivate Android Development

[KERNEL]TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 (0.6.0.1) [OC/UV][Voodoo Color & Sound v10][ZRAM][EXT4]
TalonDEV is an i9000 reoriented kernel for use with I9000 Samsung Gingerbread Roms (JVQ-JVR-JVS-JVT..etc..)
This is for the Captivate ONLY, the i9000 version can be found HERE
This kernel is still in a heavy development stage! So there may be bugs!! (hence the DEV tag)
Current Co-Devs - Kodos96,Ytt3r & zacharias.maladroit
Special Thanks to Xcal (for the reorient)
Make sure to support these devs, if it was not for them, Talon would not eXistZ
As always, flash at your own risk, im not responsible for any damages!]
Talon Source can be found on Github and Google Code
Stay up to date with latest changes on Twitter
Remember, I cant fix stupid or lazy. Please read the whole OP and the first and last 5 pages of this thead!
Custom Boot Animations
The bootanimation.zip needs to be /system/media/sanim.zip <- notice the name change
CIFS Support
Make sure you point to "/lib/modules/cifs.ko" instead of "/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko", it is NOT a
symlink as "/lib/modules/" is actually part of the ramdisk and is a seperate directory.
Logcat Instructions
To enable/disable Logcat, type "logcat-enable" or "logcat-disable" in a terminal emulator and reboot
Lowmemorykiller Settings
Talon kernel includes Kodos96's "LMKSet". You can adjust the PRESET=X value in /etc/ram.conf ..
The presets are listed in the file, recommended settings are set by default. Reboot to take effect
Also make sure theres no "ramhack" scripts in /etc/init.d/ , if there is, delete it and reboot.
To install:
Copy zip to sdcard
Flash via CWM
Enable/Disable Voodoo Lagfix in CWM->Voodoo
Delete Voltage Control settings in CWM->Advanced
Voodoo Color:
With the new ported Nexus S framebuffer driver, we are now able to control
voodoo color via the Voodoo Control App..So if the screen is to yellow for your
liking, you can adjust the RGB multipliers to even it out.
Conservative Governor
Conservative is now a module, to load on every boot, dload file below and place in /etc/init.d/
make sure to remove the .sh at the end of the filename and reboot

Awesome! Thanks. I will upgrade to GB soon and was hoping you'd have a compatible kernel soon. I'm glad to see UV and no OC at this point. I think I am going to stop OC'ing since I never really need it. However, I do still UV since once I find the "stable" settings for my phone, it will only help. However, I am curious how "much" people think UV helps with battery life. If it isn't significant then I might just select very safe UV settings so I don't have to spend time testing and can adjust after seeing real usage. Opinions?

TEASE! Can't wait!

Will this flag on cwm 3, out still 2.5? I've noticed a GB uses 3.0 alot.

Right now it has 2.5.1.2...will probably update to cwm3 later on though

Dude your awesome... any word on BLN? I haven't seen anyone mention it, I was wondering if there was a problem porting it to 2.3.
Thanks again!

Thanks. We appreciate your hard work.

Amazing!

Are there any issues with the phone shutting down during charge as was with 2.2. I just now flashed to 2.3 and so far loving it, I can only imagine what OC/uv would do to this beast
Oh and yeah for me I finally made it to the front pages of a soon to be exploding thread.

I have yet to have a charge death, been running it for a few days, but I cant say for 100% as I haven't tested with alot of different users, but so far I've had no problems with it...
The only problem I see right now is that UV settings wont stick on reboot..I don't know if its just there's no init.d support yet, or if its something with UV.. I haven't got a chance to look at it yet, but its something I want to figure out before release. .atleast figure out what the problem is anyways

Waiting patiently for that voodoo that you do so well. Thank you all for such awesome work

that sounds awesome. good luck with it man. maybe you will get it done by the time mine gets rma'd.
Nice, thanks pershoot!
Thanks a lot pershoot! Great work here
clemsyn - we also now know have a nice template to properly package a kernel in a standalone ZIP updater rather than just reflashing the entire boot partition.
Well done.
Pershoot - am running your kernel currently with Vegan Beta 5.1, everything looking good. Just one issue so far - I get error -18 on installing from Market apps that attempt to install to SD (Angry Birds, Uniwar are the two games I install that always do this).
VSC and I identified this as an issue with CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP not being enabled in the code Viewsonic shipped (as well as some related crypto stuff that the loop device needs). See my post with the config file changes (patch for Viewsonic 10.8.2 stock kernel) and the thread in general over at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10168177&postcount=5
Not sure if those config options are enabled in your code base, could also be some of the related crypto options though?
I started with a clean install of Vegan Beta 5.1, freshly re-partitioned SD card last night, and flashed your kernel this morning, so there was no user data or anything else sitting around on my internal SD card to muck up my results.
EDIT: I'm browsing your repo right now and looking at your pershoot_tegra_harmony_android_defconfig file. It looks like you have the CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP stuff enabled. Maybe it's the CRYPTO_ZLIB_DEFLATE and CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE settings? Those were in my patch but not enabled on your kernel, not sure if those are needed. Or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP, though that wasn't enabled on my kernel either, and from what I just read about that setting I don't think that's it. Maybe you'll see something obvious I'm missing here.
Thanks pershoot. Downloading now.
Rcgabriel, ill look in to it this wknd.
BTW, I have observed that in Quadrant my scores with pershoot's current kernel build average around 2250. With the stock Vegan 5.1beta, my scores average around 2450. Clemsyn's 10.9.7 kernel had a reduction in Quadrant score as well, yielding around a 2300-2350 average, so I suspect a significant portion of this change I observe with pershoot's build is related to the updates in the NVidia source tree. Not certain if Clemsyn has his kernel builds set to the default performance governor or not, so the difference in governor settings might explain the rest of the difference.
I don't really care particularly about the benchmark scores, they are obviously synthetic and not relevant to daily use and the CPU on this thing is so damned fast it doesn't really matter.
But to the extent that they might represent a reduction in performance of user apps they are significant. Still trying to ascertain if this is purely a benchmark issue or if there's any real-world impact. Not sure on that at all. Feels pretty smooth to me.
Obviously, the other side of the performance coin is battery life and I haven't run this kernel enough to assess that.

Is there a versionfor vegan 5.1?
Rchabriel,
Not done yet. I have more tweaks patches to bring in. Possibly some revertions as well. Wanted to get a baseline out. Remember benchmarks are just that, synthetic. Tnt lite flies thus far. Have not tested against vegan at all. Want to test on close to stock and/or cyanogenmod at this point.
Battery is good. About 1%/h idle (no sync).
Clemsyn,
Ok I may have missed over the options (was late when I posted). Thx.
Robz,
Yes.
So if im running Vegan 5.1, and im Not a dev, is there anything I can do with this new release?
Quadrant scores dropped from 3300+ to 2900+ with this kernel. I've got the data2loop patch installed.

Pin your cpu to 1000 and rerun.
I am not using performance (default shipping). The cpu freq. will scale dynamically with load as needed (ondemand is default).
Don't worry too much about synthetic benchmarks. They mean little in real world.

[REF] ROM, Kernel, Kitchen & Modem List - Galaxy S II (07/04/12) TIME FOR UPDATES!
Hey everyone!
The last ROM List I saw was last updated in July, so I thought I may as well make a new one and keep it updated. However, this includes ROM Kitchens, Kernels and Modems too!
If you find that I've missed anything, something has been updated behind my back, or if you would like your ROM or kernel added to my list, PM me. Anything old or outdated, I haven't included in the list. If it gets updated behind my back and I haven't added it, hit me up with a PM and I'll add it.
BEFORE you even THINK about flashing any of the ROMs, Kernels, or Modems below, read the following guides:
Rawat's EFS Backup guide - This guide will instruct you on how to backup your EFS folder on your phone. This folder contains all the information that is specific to your phone such as the IMEI, MAC Addresses and other sensitive information. The thread goes into more detail about it.
wilk22's Guide to Android and the Galaxy S II - This guide contains a heap of useful information for both the beginner and advanced user. It's a good idea to read this before flashing anything. It will help.
pulser_g2's Galaxy S II FAQ - Name says it all. A lot of frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S II answered in one place.
Hacre's Original Development vs Development - This picture based guide explains the difference between the Original Development and Development sections.

KERNELS​
Siyah Kernel
Features:
All-in-1kernel because it supports CM9, Samsung and MIUI ROMs with a single kernel image.
Custom CWM touch recovery with swipe gestures
8 freq steps (100MHz to 1600MHz)
3-step GPU frequency levels. Samsung default is 160-267 whereas SiyahKernel default is 160-200-267 which saves power without sacrificing performance.
Auto-root. You can also remove root via ExTweaks app and install it without rebooting your phone again. Auto-root can be disabled as well.
CPU Overclock/Undervolt support (we have two interfaces for that. both of them are defacto standard)
Tweakable vitalij's value (set to 5 as default)
Fixed fuelalert wakelocks
You can completely disable android logger using ExTweaks app
Faster charging for misc and USB modes. There are 3 modes (AC, Misc, USB) and normally last two of them support only slow charging. You can have charging speed of AC by increasing it (especially user while charging in car or using USB port)
Cpu governor optimizations
Gpu voltage, clock and stepcount interfaces (GPU Overclock/Undervolt)
Tegrak's touchmove support.
Brightness curve settings with original panel gamma values. panel values unchanged, so you will get stock colors and will be able to use supercurio's voodoo display app when it is released. brightness modification will only change auto-brightness response.
BLN support both for Samsung and CM9 ROMs (use BLNControl app from the market to enable it)
Better touch sensitivity (especially while charging)
Available CPU Governors: Ondemand (default), Pegasusg (new hotplug aware governor from Samsung), Lulzactive, SmartassV2, Interactive and Conservative governors added
CIFS
Available I/O schedulers: CFQ (default), noop, Deadline, SIO, V(R)
J4FS as module
ARM topology support (SCHED_MC)
Automatic EFS Backup
Lots of I/O tweaks and filesystem optimizations via some parts of thunderbolt scripts.
Voodoo louder support (already default in all kernels but people ask it if it is supported)
USB Mass Storage mode is working in CWM Touch Recovery
built-in profile support with default, battery and performance presets (you can change them in CWM Recovery). Even using everything default will save you a lot of battery juice.
Almost everything is configurable such as scheduler features, hotplug thresholds, GPU frequencies, voltages, arm topology modes... and they are configurable via simple and free ExTweaks App from Google Play
Current Version: 3.0
Supports: CM9, Samsung, MIUI

I don't mind the least bit and I sincerely hope someone will help updating that list.
Personally I have always found that a forum - such as this (even if this one is not a bad example) have an extremely low signal to noise level. It takes way too much digging to find precisely the information needed. In my personal opinion - wikies are actually better suited for providing information. A great example is this page: http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor which basically contains all information you'd ever need about hacking the Nook Color. I had been googling around for a android hacking wiki but didn't find any - so decided to throw one up. However, I do realize that if I am the only one editing it, it won't ever become anything but my own random notes (which is what it is right now). But with other users helping with the edits it could at least theoretically turn out to be a great source for information.
So - I appreciate that you added it to the list and I sincerely hope someone will pick up the idea and help adding and changing the wiki.
---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
Originally I had configured the wiki to require registration before edit, but in the true wiki spirit I have now disabled that - so anybody can edit it. If that result in too much vandalism I'll just swap it back again.

I've currently listed if its based on official Samsung firmware or CyanogenMod base under the "Base" However there are only three listed so far.. CyanogenMod, MIUI and the letters and numbers for Samsung firmware (XXKG6, XXKH3, etc)

Thanks for the threat. Nice info for those who wanted to know custom ROM for SGS2. This should be stick up.
Awesome... subscribed and bookmarked...
Coz of this I've stopped searching and decided on going "insane" (insanity ii)
makes it so much easier to look for a rom in one glance and decide based on a preference; mine being cm7, stripped down.

This would be a great thing to have, and it is what I'll most likely throw into the third post however that is a lot of information. Possibly if it could be slimmed down to only a few lines. Like including only the important bits.

Oxygen ROM
I vaguely remember seeing a thread for the Oxygen ROM somewhere in the s2 forum. That's missing from your list.

Features
- LiveOC
- Custom Voltage
- Voodoo Sound (implemented by pawitp)
- BLN
- 373.5MB - 398.7MB available RAM
- Compiled with Linaro 4.7.1
- O3 optimization
- Semaphore Script Manager 0.75
- Auto brightness driver
- Touch Wake
- Vibration intensity
- Deep Idle
- USB host driver

Change log
1.2.6c (11/07/2012)
- USB mass storage disable write speed cache support (thanks kasper_h, DerTeufel1980 for the hint)
- CWM: Allow key to repeat on hold (thanks to FaultException, koush). Works for volume up, down and touch key menu (as down)
- CWM: fix selection bar color when battery < 21%
- CWM: upstream sync (thanks to koush) *
- initramfs sync some changes with CM9 (adb works in root by default in recovery)
- compiled with linaro 4.7.1 201206
Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
1.2.6c
- 373.5MB - 385.7MB
For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
1.2.6sc
- 386.5MB - 398.7MB
* Please note that due to changes in nandroid backup/restore, previous versions of Semaphore can't restore backups from version >= 1.2.6. To be on the safe side, please renew your backups.
1.2.5c (20/06/2012)
- rebased to 3.0.17 (thanks to trailblazerz11 and eugene373 for their github)
- compiled with Linaro 4.7.1 toolchain (thanks to trailblazerz11 for his help)
- O3 optimization flag
- upstream sync (fixes for cdma in-call volume and mic gain included, thanks to pawitp, efpophis)
- WiFi PM_MAX when suspended
- fixed 800MHz underclocking
- changed boot splash screen
- Bootloop detection (if no normal boot is detected the phone will be forced to recovery in next boot) *
- bugfix: enabling Wi-Fi hotspot twice (copy the new netfilter script in order this to work by disabling and then enabling again netfilter in Semaphore app)
- creation of /system/lib/modules if does not exist
* It doesn't mean that this will necessarily resolve the known bootloop issue, but it may help on bootloops because of bad OC/UV etc.
Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
1.2.5c
- 373.5MB - 385.7MB
For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
1.2.5sc
- 386.5MB - 398.7MB
1.2.1c (20/05/2012)
- New initramfs (thanks to Mialwe for his cooperation on this)
- Bigmem reservation optional through Semaphore app (bigmem breaks 720p video recording) *
- Smooth UI implemented in conservative, smartassv2 (selected as separate option)
- Semaphore Script Manager application 0.75 (thanks to HM.Carbide)
- Fast Charge support (thanks to Chad Froebe) implemented as module **
- L4 (100MHz) int volt 1100mV (as GB)
- upstream updates
- Dropped LMK scritps
Variations:
Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
1.2.1c
- 374.2MB - 386.4MB
For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
1.2.1sc
- 387.2MB - 399.4MB
* Needs reboot to takes effect. If the phone shuts down needs additional reboot.
** Enables support for fast charge. It does not enable the feature.

Very Nice to see a Semaphore ICS kernel Downloading now
Oh yea, Obligatory "First"
Great
I flashed ICS 0.9.7c on Fusion ICS Beta ....
What could go wrong? Nothing its a Semaphore Kernel !
Been using Semaphore on Mosaic and I loved it ...
Hopefully my battery life will be much better.
Thank You Semaphore ! ( creator - testers - and crew )
Just flashed this on the newly released Elite rom, everything works as expected, supersmooth.
But just as Glitch, the didle doesn't work, after activation from the app, when phone goes to sleep it never wakes up and i have to do battery pull or reset to get it on.

I have found Didle to be unreliable. I just don't enable it. There was a tutorial on how to get it to work, but you will have to search for it.

I have read in glitch thread that flashing i9000 bootloader helps and didle is working for people after changing the BL's.
I will try it in the weekend.
But sans that this kernel is running quite well.
No problem stratosk!
I think the concerns in my PM are ROM related... Maybe Grubby 0.9.0 is using an old CM build. I haven't done much research yet.
ahh finally the semaphore thanks stratosk I thought you have forgoten the captivate community nice to see you back supporting us
Just installed and running well. I had some issues coming from Icy Glitch so I froze NS Tools via TiBu and using Semaphore App instead now. I also had some reboots when trying to OC, but setting back to 1Mhz made it smooth again.
Thank you for supporting us Captivate users
DIDLE really doesn't do anything worthy of using it. They thought it would be cool but it effects aren't that noticeable in real life. So word from the wise, don't use it....
Thanks
I'll try it!
yay...Semaphore is BACK for ICS!!! i actually moved onto the SGS2 for AT&T but still using my cappy for media purposes....awesome...thanks mang!!
Ok im getting constant reboot when I enable the 800mhz from the semaphore app no live oc or anything and also shouldn't ondemand 40 sampling rate should stay on 40000? when the screens turns off then turn it back on sampling rate is on 10000 again is that normal? I have the 100mhz enable when gpu is inactive if that has something to do with it. Other than that everything works so smooth great job again stratosk thanks again for bringing another great kernel for ics on captivate

Thanks mate for reporting mate.
I checked ondemand40. This is an old bug. I resolved it and here it is, again. I forgot to include some code. Will be ok in next version.
I will check the 800MHz script and let you know.
Is LiveOC and Custom Voltage an app? Or is it built into the kernel?
How do the scripts such as LMK, SD card read ahead, etc. affect the performance scripts that came with the ROM? I noticed that the ICS ROM I'm using comes with its own performance scripts and voltage control, etc.
Would someone mind explaining what TUN and CIFS does?

You can find more info here about live oc its overclocking the bus speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288015 you use nstools app to live oc and the custom voltage means that the kernel support oc and uv custom tweak by the dev of the kernel. About the performance script it depends on the script there is lagfree tweaks roaming around and thunderbolt tweaks I suggest to ask more on the rom dev what kind of performance tweak he included on the rom since he knows more what kind of tweaks he included on script itself. On my opinion if you see same script (ex. the sdcard tweaks or any oc uv script) its better to use the script that bundles with the semaphore to prevent conflict

Would someone mind explaining what TUN and CIFS does?

TUN is a module required in the kernel for loading up VPN (OpenVPN and DroidVPN)
CIFS module enables you to mount a remote network share on your device.
Any chance you're making an 0.9.8 for Slim ICS specific for the captivate?

FXP is not a person. FXP is a team of developers and nobodyAtAll is a member of that team.
And porting a 3.x kernel is not that easy when manufacturer has not released proper libs and sources.
J is founder of fxp and i know that ..but naa relasing own thing with have name mini cm with some own fetures.

yeah i know about unified kernel, is it has a big difference?
because you know, we already got some great kernels for JB,
say, Fusion, Lupus, paul's kernel, etc.
I'm very glad that we have another strong developer for our xperia 2011 phones...cant wait for a 3.x kernel. I know you guys can do it and it will be awesome!
Doomlord working on nAa 3.0.8 kernel... We can expect working kernel soon
Really great news, hope to see a 3.0 kernel soon on Arc too. :angel:
Could someone point out the benefits of running that kernel on our devices? I mean what differeces will users see in their Roms, instead of 2.6.36 that we use now?
will this kernel be compatible with stock sony ics because now is only for CM 4.X

Yeah that's right... it boots... but i guess in fact the new kernel will be never fully compatible to stock.
As you all know stock ROMs are built to work with 2.6.32 kernel, this developer kernel is 3.0.8... so you might guess, there are some differences.
In other words stock ROMs will need some tweaks to work properly with the new kernel... or new kernel needs tweaks to support old stock ROMs.
In additonal words this makes no sense... as the focus for the new kernel is JB custom ROMs.
At least that's what i got so far
Cheers,

who would use it for sony bloated ICS when you could run cm10.1 android 4.2.2 smoothly?
only problems might be videorecording fmradio and bluetooth. The screen bug will be fixed and then the kernel is ready to use for Xperia Arc

Well actually I would like to see stock running with this kernel but jb comes first I think after that they could modify it for stock

J700P/j7ltespr [KERNEL]-[Touchwiz]-[6-10-17] Ani-kernel V0.4

This kernel will not be overloaded with tons of I/O and CPU schedulers and useless features. I will test and merge what works best and probably provide 1-2 different options on hotplugs.
Disclaimer: DO NOT FLASH THIS ON ANYTHING BUT J700P latest stock firmware.
It may not brick your device if you do because it uses the ramdisk on the device but it will definitely boot loop at the least.
Update 6-10-17
Version 0.4
Complete rebase. Now using Minz1's base with TONS of fixes from CAF and we are working on merging LTS point releases.
This is the result of I and Minz's work.
This release I was mostly working for stability and optimization again. I haven't merged in any I/O or CPU schedulers yet.
I don't have time to list the features so check git if your curious.
I updated the link to the new repo.
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22ZNBermHGrZjlnUmNFRl9JeW8/view?usp=drivesdk
Update 6-9-17
Version 0.3
Compiled with UberTC GCC 5.3
Stability fixes
Added intellli-thermal
Anyone have any feedback or suggestions/questions please feel free to comment.
Version 0.2
- SAMSUNG_RESTRICT_ROOTING disabled (I forgot to disable this on the first build). Root works fine now. SuperSU root would work anyway but works better now with no issues at all
- More low level optimizations. Check git for details. Faster, power efficient, etc.
- Compiled with UberTC 4.9 instead of the included arm-eabi 4.8 toolchain. Will be switching to a GCC 5.x or GCC 6.x UberTC or Linaro toolchain next build, or two.
- Dynamic Fsync.
- Powersuspend driver​.
- CPU frequencies can be changed and set permanently in kernel Adiutor.
- Kcal screen/color control.
- BFQ I/O scheduler.
- Random fixes here and there.
Check source for all changes.
Version 0.1

Big shout-out to Minz1. He helped me get the WiFi working (again) so otherwise this may not have even been possible. It was really kicking my ass.
