[Kernel KH3&KJ3]Red Nebula [sched tweaks, vm tweaks, ondemand tweaks][zipalign added] - Captivate Android Development

[Kernel KH3&KJ3]Red Nebula [sched tweaks, vm tweaks, ondemand tweaks][zipalign added]
This kernel does not support lagfix(ext4) at least not till I finish work on cwm and build in universal lagfix
Added Zipalign version (file ends in ZA)
Here it is Red Nebula v1.2 (kh3 and kj3 versions now). Its modified from boogs kernel (thank you for the use of your kernel as the base boog without it this wouldn't have been possible) with a lot tweaked and added. Quadrant for me runs around 2000 with it. I recommend cf bench by chainfire or antutu for benchmarking instead though as they have a lot more tests that matter in the android world and as we all know Quadrant means jack anyways. UI is extremely smooth and lag free and system is always extremely responsive.
Update:1.2 is released (pulled 1.0 and 1.1 all together) it includes a few more tweaks for responsiveness and helps out cf bench scores overall and lowers quadrant again, wtf quadrant. ;p
Remember this kernel is tweaked to give a highly responsive lag free device it is not built to get crazy high test scores as most of the tweaks I made improve overall i/o performance, disk throughput, java efficiency, and keep as much memory free as possible without going overboard killing everything in the background, a lot of the tweaks also will help battery life to some extent.
Also please don't request a lag fix version, I built one and it really didn't make much, if any, difference and that's with over 150 apps on my phone. Something about GB on the captivate seems to negate the effects lagfix normally has on performance so I left it out to simplify things and cut down on space in the kernel to save for future tweaks.
##List of mods(Updated)##
#tweaks to lmk keeps mem use down without going overboard
#aggressive version should keep mem free around at least 60mb
#swappiness is tweaked for speed when switching between open apps
#vfs_cache_pressure tweaks help improve overall performance but may require
a reboot every other day in the standard version to keep things snappy aggressive version shouldn't suffer as from this side effect as badly
#various other kernel scheduler tweaks
#tweaks to cpu scheduler(designed for on demand governor only)
#tcp/ip modified for speed and security
#other vm property tweaks improve speed and batterylife
#custom boot animation support for sanim.zip (KH3 still has no boot anim, sorry guys this thing is killing me trying to get working.)
#internal memory (SD) tweaks to reduce disk overhead and increase throughput
#added a new zipalign version of the kernel (the ones that have ZA at the end of the name it will zipalign all apks /system and /data that are not already aligned. just gives an extra little boost to performance.
note: I'm having problems getting custom bootanims working still for kh3, it won't show one so dont freak if you don't see anything after the att screen. It also helps boot time slightly if enough request is made I will post another version with the bootanimation re-enabled to the normal galaxy s boot.
##need to fix##
just bootanim support for now
##fixed in kj3 kh3 fix coming once I can figure out kh3's problem with me##
/\/\Thanks to Kyuta/\/\
##Installation Notes##
To begin as always I am not responsible for any damage to your device or loss of data damage.
Make sure you disable lagfix if it is enabled before installation of my kernel it absolutely doesn't support lagfix and I don't want anyone ended up with a soft or hard brick for trying to flash over a lagfixed device.
Installation is straight forward download the Red Nebula zip attached below and flash through cwm as normal. The only thing to keep in mind is this will wipe all you init.d scripts but it does back them up to /sdcard/initd_backups in the new versions just in case you want to try re-adding any later.
I set it to remove them to prevent scripts already in place from messing with those included with the kernel. Also the kernel doesn't work for nandroid backups as with pretty much all gb kernels so far so please don't try unless you are't worried about bricking.
Also the installation does clear caches for you during installation but feel free to do it anyways afterwords if you want.
note about initial boot up lag: After boot when the system is loading your homescreens you will most likely encounter a small lag at first then everything should come up very fast after a second or two. This is due to the read ahead buffer tweaks I made. They are loading up more information initially and this is what is causing it. The reason for me going slightly more aggressive than the norm is after initial boot up overall read/write rates are dramatically improved over other values I've tried and it makes for a much snappier feel overall, especially when opening gallery, accessing large music libraries and opening file managers.
Feel free to ask questions and leave feed back.
##Credits##
Boog-for the use of his kernel as a base
Kyuta-for help with getting bootanims fixed
ddoubt-for pointing out I forgot to fix the symlink in my
updater script for bootanimtion
All the people at IBM making manual pages
All the people who have made pages/manuals about the linux kernel & tweaking it
Without the above none of this would have been possible.
##side note to other devs##
you may include my tweaks and values in your kernels with credit given, I've spent countless hours researching and testing to get this project to where it is now. About 30-40% of the values used have been previously used by many others before but the rest I found researching manual/reference pages and some I found to work best through trial and error. The scripts except 99completed and the bootanimation script are my own work and while most are basic they are mine so please don't include them in tweak packs, kernels, and rom & kernel packages without permission.
##--updated links for fix to init.d backup scritpt and error in updater-scritpt!!--##

Wow, some body use stock please test this kernel. I will try when I back to stock ^^!

Heres a few test screens. Oh and I forgot to mention ram usually runs between 158mb-220mb. It pretty much has the zram tweaks but modified to values I decided on after reading dozens of linux kernel pages. Some values you might find in other scripts but most arent.
Its also optimized for the on demand cpu governor and I recommend overclocking with tegrak to get the most out of my tweaks.

The GB bootanimation binary supports sanim.zip and not bootanimation.zip Not sure if that helps.

smooth.... flashed using SGS Kernal Flasher after turning off Lagfix. So far so good!

Congrats on ur kernel Jsmokey Nice to see more guys step up in the dev, specially when others are leaving due to phone upgrades. I personally don't use ur kernel yet (i9k user so far) but it's great for us cappy users to have more choises to pick from, so I *****slapped ur thxbutton

Tried that too when I was working on it still no luck. Only thing I could get to play them was the script from the old onix froyo kernel but the anim would just keep playing and according to logcat the ui was loaded completely.
And thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. I spent alot of time researching linux kernel manual pages to find the best combinations of tweaks to put together and spent many late nights debugging,

Thanks and I plan on working with them I just started this project weeks ago as a rom/kernel package but they both were taking up so much time I decided to split the kernel off and get it out there.
As soon as I finish up my rom I'm going to work on something for the newest leaks.

I actually have kj3 decompiled on my pc so if I have time I might go ahead and whip something up tonight if you want to test for me since I haven't started work on a kj3 rom yet and work on my kh3 rom doesn't leave much time for me to test others and let me know how it works.

Of course, I hate to give an eta but i'd say around a week and half and I should have pretty much everything wrapped up. Its been in the works since kh3 came out but I've spent a ton of time testing tweaks on it and the theme.
I posted a couple teasers of custom buttons and my battery gauge in the captivate themes post your homescreen thread if you want to check it out. I've been running it for weeks now and a few close friends have been lucky enough for me to put it on their cappy's for em.
Same as with the kernel ill be moving everything to a kj3 base as soon as the kh3 version is done.
Edit: I wanted to mention that I will be updating the first post to be a little more in depth of what the values and tweaks really do. Only reason I haven't is its alot of typing to really explain things properly and I hopefully should have some more tweaks ready in the coming weeks as I dig more into how the linux kernel handles things. I've came along way in understanding how the kernel works in the past few weeks but I still have mountains of information to go through.

Ok add the following to the end of your init.rc file and see if it helps with the sanim.zip.

Thanks kyuta I'll give that a try a little later and see what happens. I might just switch back to the old onix script and give it a try since its the only thing i could get to play the animations at all. I'm sure that will work though with a little tweaking to fit with the set up i used with the onix bootanim script.
Also this goes out to everyone I got kj3 all compiled just waiting on xpackage to let me know if its booting or not and I'll post it up for everyone, or if anyone else running kj3 that can flash asap and let me know if it boots or not is interested just let me know and I'll pm you the link to get it.

KH3 gave me fits on getting boot animation to work correctly. Just finally had to give it a timelimit eg: sleep 20 then kill it. The leaks after kh3 work better.
Also, the newer kernels will run on kh3, and vise versa
Makes for easy testing, flash it, not good? flash back.

I kind of figured it was a kh3 problem with the bootanims thanks for the info I'll also give that a try after I get done with all the kernel sched tweaks i'm finishing testing and researching. Next update should be about as responsive as it gets, I don't think there's gonna be much to tweak left after I'm done, and it should greatly improve on i/o rates overall even more than the first release.
Sweet, wasn't sure how things would go flashing the newer kernel leaks over kh3 so i hadn't tried it so I'll go ahead and give it a flash then and see what happens.
Update
flashes and boots fine but it still loops the anim non stop on kj3 and i left it exactly as you set it up for the bootanim boog. I swear this thing is just out to drive me completely insane! I'm gonna try a couple things and see how it goes and I'll post back asap.
update again
OMFG I love you kyuta that worked perfectly!!!! It finally stops when its supposed to lol.
I'll get it uploaded in a few when i get the last few things checked out and make sure all my tweaks are being applied properly.

Check OP for link to KJ3 Kernel! And to Kyuta and Boog I can't thank you guys enough for the help you guys are life savers.

KJ3 Kernel
I backed up the init.d file with root explorer (etc>init.d) and flashed through CWM. No problems. My boot animation worked (sanim.zip).
Quick run through several programs and long press keys working, BT working, GPS working (LOL, at as well as it has at 15ft accuracy).
So far all is good. I will run it tomorrow to see how is does for battery.
I am also running Illuminance 1.1 for the ROM.
CWM version is v4.0.1.5 with the kernel.
Boot scans seem faster.
I know signal is the modem but I am getting -71dBm 20 asu with the KE3 modem and Red Nebula kernel. It is 0130 here in Norfolk but that is the best signal I have gotten.

Glad to hear it and as DDNV pointed out at first things will seem a little laggy at boot and I believe this is mainly due to increased read ahead buffers, which would cause sort of a momentary pause since they take a bit more time to fill then the default but loads very fast after that initial stutter since its loading a lot more info at once, 2048k compared to 128k default. I ran alot of sdcard speed tests with different settings and this seems to be the best balance between high read/write rates and initial system start up lag.
In the tests I ran it was like night and day in read/write speed compared to other values I tried. Also in my gallery I have well over 1000 images icons, photos, screenshots, etc and with the buffer tweaks it loads all of them almost instantly when I open it and it use to take between 10-20 seconds with default buffers. I will add this to op so people arent thinking its just lagging for no good reason at start up.

Over Clock Kernel - wifi error

I am running CM6 A013 with oc-legend-cm-2.6.29.6 kernel. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the wifi. Has anyone gotten the wifi to work with the oc kernels?
I read in another thread that we could take the wlan.ko file from an old ROM. Does anyone have a copy of this file or would anyone be willing to pull the file so that I can test it? I really appreciate it.
same situation here. neither kernels work with cm6's wifi and hotspot. can someone fix this please! i really want my wifi back! i didnt do a backup before hand!
Im looking at this and it looks easier than just replacing the entire kernel like you guys did, read here from that guy's post above:
"How to do it for kernel_legend_13be9c9c:
At first, you should read zanfur's post and his patch.
I just modified two tables in acpuclock-arm11.c excluding his having written.
1. modify cpufreq.c to let SetCPU to access freq tables
2. modify acpuclock-arm11.c to let HTC Legend be able to overclocking
3. modify msm7227_defconfig to disable PERFLOCK [optional]
You might not need modify defconfig when you use SetCPU which can purchase in Android Market.
SetCPU can disable PERFLOCK by setting. ([menu] -> [Perflock Disabler])"

So, with that said, I would take that file or file(s) and replace them with the ones in our current kernel made for our phone... might work and your wifi won't be broken.
You guys are running a kernel made for a different device.
could some one say in plain english the exact steps to get the old kernel back? the one from CM6

That kernel is not built for our wifi chip. The kernel needs to be built for the BCM chipset and not the TI. Further, the wifi module needs to be in sync with the kernel build. Android 101.
I am not sure what we are going to gain from overclocking. There just doesn't seem to be any end goal, other than bragging rights on a benchmark where the Aria can only hope to be among the best of the mediocre CPUs. If it's for flash - forget it. We don't have the instruction set required in the CPU. The downside is the potential to add instability and confuse test results for mods that can actually increase functionality.
I like overclocking and running a couple benchmarks once in a while. For day to day use I'm more interested in downclocking but only if it can increase battery life.

the extra speed of the OC makes a big different on the games, that's the reason I like it... Games run smoother with the OC kernel.... do the test.. try to run Abduction with the stock Kernel for a while and then with the OC.. you'll see the difference... also Live Wallpapers with the stock kernel is choppy... it is smooth with the OC.
Hell my nexus one has been over clocked since the day I got it (rooted that same day ) not that a 1ghz phone really needs it. Well the Nexus One maybe for gaming but my Captivate and Vibrant on the other hand doesn't need it period. You won't get better performance gaming with any other android handset out there to date. Still my Captivate is over clocked to 1.2ghz lol. Like I say there's something fun about pushing the limits.
It really just another thing to tweak and play around with on your device. It's always fun to push the limits.
There are several reason why I would like to overclock. 1. The 3D photo gallery loads photos really slow with the stock kernel, but with an overclocked kernel the pics loaded very quickly. 2. It's nice to run a 3D game or two without chopping. Just to name a couple. It would be nice to have an Aria kernel that works with all of the phones hardware. And showing off benchmark number is nice as well.

i only got 6.9 mflops on my x10 benchmark!

Hello folks,
I just tried to benchmark my x10 with linpack and got only 6.8 or 6.9 mflops. is this normal, is there anything i can do to make it get a higher score?
I'm using the latest .435 firmware and rooted and have all the junk pps from the 'x10 junk apps' thread removed from my phone.
Thanks for any help.
How does the phone perform? Are you satisfied with it or does it lag considerably? A benchmark really means nothing other than bragging rights. If it feels fast and feels good then why worry about mflops?

whether you updated via flashtool or through seus or pc companion, to optimize your phone is very simple especially if not wanting to root or install custom roms. download latest flash tool, once installed and up and running. make sure your phone is set on debug mode. connect to usb and plug into comp. though you may not want the apps that are in the custom folder. hit the customize button, you can remove them later. you will now notice that the optimize button is now highlighted in black. click on that button and let it install the files. This installs JiTv2 Files. this will bring mflops up and quad scores up. it however will not give very high scores. quad will be around 800-850 tops. mflops will be increased to about 20-30 maybe 35. notice on quad when running the rotating planets test. you might hit 33fps!!! instead of the supposed 30 that its only suppose to get. if you run neocore test you might only peg and 25-28. Good Luck!!

try running the test again after the unit has settled down (no activity for a while). you might get different results.

Hi SErooted,
thank you for your helpfull respond. i pressed the customize and then the optimize button like you said and the phone rebooted and the result was better. linpack now get about 32 and some change, quadrant about 757, and neocore about 21fps, shouldn't neocore get better frame rate than this?
can i get it even faster than this?
i have heard about clearing the dalvik chache when installing JIT for the first time. well i didn't clear any cache when i press that customize or optimizer button. did it do it automatically or do i still have to do it manually?
what i wanted was to have the interface and games run fluid and smooth. like no studder at all.
does the processor throttle down when the system is at idle?
should i overclock?
also, i have notice the video recording in hd mode have less studdering now. though its still there, but less. do you think it probably have anything to do with the memory card performance. i'm still using the stock 8gb that originally came with the phone.
My score for mflops is always around 39 and my highest is 40+

hello Michael7168,
thank you for your respond to my message. can you please elaporate more on your statement. is this an x10 you using? i would like to get this result too.
furthermore, i prefer not to use custom firmware at the moment as i use this phone frequently day-to-day and i need to have full functionality of it and reliably. custom firmware are still buggy and lacks some functionality of the phone that i still find usefull for my daily task. but if there is a better custom firmware that really does utilize all of the phone functionality, then please point me in that direction.

Hello xxcysxx,
yes neocore normally runs higher scores. round about 27-28 avg. i personally havent ran a stock firmware since right around mid december. i have alternated with a few and have finally settled on z.s 2.2b4. and have checked all roms available to find which is best. and custom firmware is sometimes shere you get the desired result. i have done some testing on my x10 with various settings and roms and will be happy to share with you what i have going on. my phone is very responsive. quad scores as of ten minutes ago was 2011 without having overclock widget installed. if yo install overclock widget and max out on screen and off screen min and max to 998mhz, you can achieve slightly higher quad scores. but really not needed if you follow settings below. i have a free app from market sysctl. it works!! not sure if you have read the thread on it yet but if not i will have to post there as i have found perfect settings for performance but at cost of battery drain. install if you have root, if not, the call to root is yours.
if interested.... download sysctl from market.
min free kb: 900000
dirty ratio:500000
dirty background:200000
vfs cache pressure:10
Oom allocating: checked
like i said performance not battery. i know for battery saving settings set these numbers close to what the default are. the lower the better battery, the higher, performance.
if you are really worried about daily performance and custom roms.... when/if you decide. i recommend eminence for 2.1 theme of your choice but i really dig bitsnackers theme its awsome and who wouldnt think a tron looking buzzlightyear isnt cool? its awsome. has a cool bootlogo too. all phone funstionality is there video, camera, flash. EVERYTHING!!
BELOW>>> Optimized, xrecovery, root<<<< ENABLED
if you are interested in a 2.2 rom which really does boost speed on phone and what not. i recommend z's 2.2beta4 as video is not working as of yet you might hold off. if you dont use video you should be ok with camera for now and that works. install gappsfreex10, z's data2sd, and theme of your choice. i like xfx10 cant remember name of creator (sorry) but this theme is great! all of theme are great to be honest this is just the one i use.
2.3 roms are out and they are snappy alone without having any adjustments, however there are things that dont work, camera is really the only thing i can think of right now. but by this time it might be fixed, cant say havent checked status but will when done replying.
you can install and run sysctl on these roms as well and gives great boost.
update: not sure if this is a result of sysctl or problems due to network overrun... mflops as of now are 3.2 i normally run 38+. Mmmmm, I wonder?
update 2: double checked after a little while and low mflops was due to network overload not settings. also once upon reboot from my settings i have a quad score of 2233. screen shot below. mflops picked back up but yet are not as high as usual 34.xx
as well to answer on dalvik cache... yes clear cache and also install cache cleaner from market. i have mine set to clear every twelve hours. when installing custom rom not always a case but recommend to wipe user data as well. a few minutes to reset your phone and make sure everything smooth is worth doing this. as well, clear battery stats.
either way, let me know what you guys think and if these settings help.

yes neocore normally runs higher scores. round about 27-28 avg. i personally havent ran a stock firmware since right around mid december. i have alternated with a few and have finally settled on z.s 2.2b4. and have checked all roms available to find which is best. and custom firmware is sometimes shere you get the desired result. i have done some testing on my x10 with various settings and roms and will be happy to share with you what i have going on. my phone is very responsive. quad scores as of ten minutes ago was 2011 without having overclock widget installed. if yo install overclock widget and max out on screen and off screen min and max to 998mhz, you can achieve slightly higher quad scores. but really not needed if you follow settings below. i have a free app from market sysctl. it works!! not sure if you have read the thread on it yet but if not i will have to post there as i have found perfect settings for performance but at cost of battery drain. install if you have root, if not, the call to root is yours.
if interested.... download sysctl from market.

like i said performance not battery. i know for battery saving settings set these numbers close to what the default are. the lower the better battery, the higher, performance.
if you are really worried about daily performance and custom roms.... when/if you decide. i recommend eminence for 2.1 theme of your choice but i really dig bitsnackers theme its awsome and who wouldnt think a tron looking buzzlightyear isnt cool? its awsome. has a cool bootlogo too. all phone funstionality is there video, camera, flash. EVERYTHING!!
BELOW>>> Optimized, xrecovery, root<<<< ENABLED
if you are interested in a 2.2 rom which really does boost speed on phone and what not. i recommend z's 2.2beta4 as video is not working as of yet you might hold off. if you dont use video you should be ok with camera for now and that works. install gappsfreex10, z's data2sd, and theme of your choice. i like xfx10 cant remember name of creator (sorry) but this theme is great! all of theme are great to be honest this is just the one i use.
2.3 roms are out and they are snappy alone without having any adjustments, however there are things that dont work, camera is really the only thing i can think of right now. but by this time it might be fixed, cant say havent checked status but will when done replying.
you can install and run sysctl on these roms as well and gives great boost.
update: not sure if this is a result of sysctl or problems due to network overrun... mflops as of now are 3.2 i normally run 38+. Mmmmm, I wonder?
update 2: double checked after a little while and low mflops was due to network overload not settings. also once upon reboot from my settings i have a quad score of 2233. screen shot below. mflops picked back up but yet are not as high as usual 34.xx
as well to answer on dalvik cache... yes clear cache and also install cache cleaner from market. i have mine set to clear every twelve hours. when installing custom rom not always a case but recommend to wipe user data as well. a few minutes to reset your phone and make sure everything smooth is worth doing this. as well, clear battery stats.
either way, let me know what you guys think and if these settings help.

Hello folks,
I just tried to benchmark my x10 with linpack and got only 6.8 or 6.9 mflops. is this normal, is there anything i can do to make it get a higher score?
I'm using the latest .435 firmware and rooted and have all the junk pps from the 'x10 junk apps' thread removed from my phone.
Thanks for any help.

thank you for your respond again.
your generic test result has me sold to custom firmware. i want to try it out to see what i'm really missing.
so to your experience, z's 2.2 b4 has all functionality of the device working with only the exception of the video recording? is that correct?
perhaps i can live with that for now. i frequently record my baby playing around the house and playing outside, that's why i prefer to keep the camcorder.
perhaps i will find an old phone laying around in the house just to get by while i'm going on an adventure on custom firmware.
if yo install overclock widget and max out on screen and off screen min and max to 998mhz, you can achieve slightly higher quad scores.

on your x10 running at these settings, can you go at least a full day of work on a single charge with frequent text messaging, internet browsing, and phone calls?
no video games or leisure activity involve. full day of work as in taking the phone off the charger in the moning and comming home around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

i'm confused here. is eminence 2.1 a custom firmware or is it a theme for android 2.1 firmware?
if it is a modified sony ericsson 2.1 stock firmware with a different theme, then i'm not interested.
however, if it is a fully ported open source 2.1 android firmware, (not tamper with by sony ericsson) then this is good news. i really hope it is this!

i have a question about xrecovery.
are you familiar with bare metal restore, acronis true image, or norton ghost.
i use these software to customize my laptop for different occations. whether i use my laptop to play games with my buddies at break hours durring schools, or do homework assignments in the library, or other general work. all i have to do is lay the image at boot and i have a completely different pc. it can be any os using any software customize in anyway, and took about five to ten minutes to lay down the image.
now back to the xrecovery question. can i do a "full backup" or a complete snap shot of the flash of my current android os and then restore it back at a later time in the same state and condition it was in just before i left it?
this is just incase i might have a remorse when i try the custom firmware.
i put a lot of time in making all the settings and adjustments just to the way i like it and i prefer not to have to do it all over again.
I have another question about the JIT software.
how many jit versions are out there?
i'm using the x10 flash tool version 0.2.6 to install the jit software on my phone. do you know what version of jit was distributed with this flash tool version?
thanks again, your time and help is very much appreciated.

i always keep several older phones for camera use, or other things so this is always a good idea.
will keep this overclocking widget in mind. i just recently learned that you cant clock the processor past 1Ghz without sucessfully cracking the bootloader first. so overclocking is not going anywhere for now.
i agree in holding off, really overclock widget should be utilizes when operating stock 1.6. anything after that 2.1 2.2 2.3 their optimized with jit or are optimized enough without it

to my knowledge is has not been tampered with by sony, cant recall if the dev had placed any se apks in theme. but it is a great rom. so is blue sparks. if going 2.1 anyway. these are roms and not just themes overlay. so should be as open source as the dev made it.

yes you can. when in xrecovery, go to back up and restore. and backup. this will save all settings, phone book, contacts text message, everything! if not happy with custom software you have installed. just go back to xrecovery>backup and restore> restore. back to 2.1 software before the custom rom
I have another question about the JIT software.
how many jit versions are out there?
i'm using the x10 flash tool version 0.2.6 to install the jit software on my phone. do you know what version of jit was distributed with this flash tool version?
the JiT version that is with the new flashtool is JiTv2 i believe.. dont quote me on that. i believe it is as i have looked at the files in the optimizer and compared them to the copy of JiTv2 i have saved on my comp. to my knowledge, there is only two versions. again, dont quote me on it. i havent seen an chatter going on about newer versions so this might be all we get. not sure though
thanks again, your time and help is very much appreciated.[/QUOTE]

Sorry took so long to kget back to you. hope you catch this.
Sysctl settings really dont make large change in how fast all functions of the phone operate. most increase in performance for settings is shutdown and power on time. as well as a little better scrolling of menus.
basically running the 2.2 software from z or trip, adding the data2sd.zip will get you well into having quad scores of 2+++. if aiming for higher closer to around 3000. which i am very near doing. ill show when i have the proof not till then
anyway, getting mid 2+++ scores and higher, do require using something like set cpu or Overclock widget, in order to get your phone to run at top speed while doing the test..
after that run a test then another and so on until you have achieved what is perfect W/O for you.

i did tried the setting parameters you suggested earlier before your latest post and i found the improvement is not that noticable, but the battery did die very quick. i found the original configuration work just fine at this point.
i'm still doing some reading on the custom firmware to make sure i make the proper approach without any hickups. i still have a lot of school work to finish and a part time job so the custom firmware is moving along quite slowly.

[REF][SCRIPTS] Android Optimization Tips - Captivate(UPDATED 10/19/2011)

Introduction
I've made a Definite Guide on Android thread for i9000 that focuses on a few optimizations/scripts I've picked up over the months I've spent on XDA. I truly enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the i9000 community and since the tips/guide/scripts can also be applied here (save some exceptions that I would list down below),I would like to share this with the Captivate community too.
Exceptions
Take note that the guide is primarily for i9000 units. There are a few differences I can note here that you should be aware of:
1. The guide points out some kernels/ROMs that are for i9000. Hence the phones you are using may have different ROMs/kernels that may or may not correlate with the one in the guide.
2. The guide also mentions some apps/tweaks that are particularly alien to your unit and you may have never encountered it in your use of your phone or in XDA. Please ignore them for now, I'll make an effort to make the guide compatible in the future (with feedback from you guys of course )
3. Journaling scripts that are attached like the JournalingOn.zip and Acid Tweaks - Removed Useless Stuff and 00remount may not work well with your unit or it may completely brick it. I don't know this, but if you can post your mount partition configuration, I am willing to make the scripts work for you. You only have to type "mount" on your Terminal Emulator and provide the output to me, and I'll provide the rest. Zach's script however, have high compatibility towards a lot of phones, and thus can be used for your unit. Take note that there is a slight risk that it won't work well. If it doesn't, please post your problems here, and I'll try to fix it. Hence, it's best that you make a nandroid backup before attempting to use any tweaks here.
3. I've compiled a guide on a few notable tweaks in XDA here: LINK. If you would like me to evaluate scripts/tweaks/anything that you do not understand due to their terms being alien to you, I'll be glad to explain it here

The only one I'm not confident at is Perso. That's why it's better to freeze it rather than delete it. Deleting it makes it harder to restore.
You can freeze it with System Tuner (free app) or Titanium Backup Pro (Paid)
Of course I was freezing, but a quick reboot solve the problem.. Thanks again for this great guide!
As for the memory leaks problem, can you explain more? Will I have to write those commands every time the phone is being laggy?

Great
There's a script called drop in the 3rd post. You can use it with Script Manager once you feel the lag coming in. However, to get rid of the lag entirely, you have to tweak the LMK so that free memory doesn't drop below a certain threshold. You can use Auto Memory Manager or Supercharger for that.
Thanks, used this first way, created a nice widget that will do the script
pikachu, just wanted to let you know. Your scripts are incredible. The difference in battery life after adding the 2 scripts to init.d is incredible. I was going through the one. I'm on Apex 10.1 w/ TalonDev 0.5.1.3 was wondering if there would be any added benefit of changing the awake_governor to OnDemandX instead of Ondemand and if you could recommend any other fun things I can try that would be great also.
EDIT: Also still in my init.d is the s70_darky_zipalign scripted would it be recommended to remove that or keep it.

Yes, the VM settings actually save more battery as the number of I/O transactions are kept at the minimum.
You can change it to OndemandX, but OndemandX's main difference with Ondemand is the sleep code as well as the high threshold (95 opposed to 80 in Ondemand). This would result in a generally more powersaving but slower scaling method.
Since conservative is already used when sleeping, using OndemandX is counterproductive IMHO.
The darky zipalign script doesn't work as Darky rom doesn't come with the zipalign binary. You can zipalign with Rom Toolbox (in the market). Also 99.9% of APKs that are used are already zipaligned from the start(you can check this with Rom Toolbox). Don't need to zipalign again.

I made a mistake here. Rom Toolbox doesn't zipalign your APKs well. It failed to detect an unzipaligned APK in my ROM. I will publish a guide to zipalign, but it's pretty much manually done.
Made some pretty big changes to the guide.
Please refer to it when you have the time!

working tweaks for cm7 wildfire?

anybody tried the v6 supercharger and loopy????
Yes v6 works fine, didn't really see such a great improvement in speed but I presume that's mostly just because of our phones low end spec, I prefer not to tweak so much now though so I don't use any memory tweaks anymore........
Tried v6. Didn't notice any difference at all.
Ahh the good old placebo scripts. Don't bother with them, they either don't do anything or tweak stuff that android/Linux are perfectly good at managing for themselves.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 running CM9 Alpha
but it works superbly in p500 roms,
really good, look this rom full of scripts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382033
Just because there are lots of scripts in a rom doesn't make them any good.
Have you looked at what the supercharger script is doing? Do you understand the changes it makes? There are a lot of things in that script that simply do not apply to android, the rest are placebo effects or "tweaks" that do nothing for real world usage and just boost scores in quadrant.

im talking abt smooth scrolling and ram management... -.-
not quadrant scores zzzz
Even if you do go for the V6 Script,a bit of advice - stay away from the network / 3g tweaks. There are quite a few not-so-happy endings on the Wildfire forum for people who used them. (Which involved using an RUU to go back to a stock sense ROM, rerooting and coming back to CM)
I respect everyone's view on this kind of stuff and each to there own. Here's my take on them.
After numerous attempts of getting v6 to run I managed it only to have it screw my phone up totally and as 3xeno stated I had a ballache getting my phone back lol.
Juuwes script thing was easy to install but I seriously couldn't tell you if it was doing anything as I noticed no improvement.
Now at the times when everyone was going mad for these kind of tweaks I came across an app called autokiller memory optimizer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267425
To this day I swear by this little beauty. Some may say I be under the placebo spell but I doubt it with the amount of times I've run my phone with and without the app through numerous scenarios and I always end up setting it back up again. To me this is my preferred method as I can set exactly what I want tweaking, lower certain apps oom levels and set totally custom low memory kill levels too,I've yet to see a script that gives me that control.!!! The advanced options are very good too e.g changing my sdread speed and lowering my wifi scan time. Ok enough of the selling lol I have no connection to this app or the dev but I seriously recommend everyone to try it. Hey if its not for you then go try one of the others mentioned.

Hi guys I thought I'd start this thread so we can talk about anything kernel related, this can be anything from battery to benchmarks to trouble shooting or best setups for hotplugs governors or schedulers.
I hope this may be a friendly and helpful thread with anyone welcome to contribute.
Massive thanks to @LeeDroid for am amazing rom.
Thanks also to @lyapota
Thanks @flar2
Thanks @MassStash
Thanks @PwnCakes193

More thanks to follow...
[quote name="JellyKitkatLoli" post=60504903]Since there's so much kernel talk on this thread I am just going to sum this for once and all at least of today.
Disclaimer : The organization Performance>Battery goes by how it is right from the box, No kernel APPs, no anything, just defult settings the kernels come with and what you should expect from those, however they are also a great guideline to know what you're going to get primarily, even after tweaking, This is based on My experience along with other User's from the Kernel's respective threads and from different ROM threads.
Best performance : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934546156 And in case you're doubting here's a little peek from AnTuTu, Remember no tweaks
[Just for Reference, Stock is around 45k~46k.] , Daily usage is a bit faster too along with gaming, I suggest to add gboost and usbfast charge. However the battery life is like I've said down below IS lower than what it normally COULD be under the right tweaks [Compared to STOCK] but it still is a monstrous battery life (Compared to the other devices on the market hehe ), and if you LOVE [every other Kernel will only be less by what? 0.1 MS?

Best Battery life : http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?16336-KERNEL-SENSE-ALL-M8-VARIANTS-BeyondStockᵀᴹ-v2-1-0 - Read the thread and you'll understand why it has the best battery life, It's just stock with SUPPORT THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE, If you like STOCK kernel and wanna use MultiBoot this is the answer, Expect stock-like performance but a bit better battery.
Pick what you think is best for YOU, I have sorted it out based on performance > battery life (Furthermore all have great performance, SD Exceeds at that though.
My favorite Kernels Would be; Skydragon as I like squeezing my performance to the limit,Lyapota's kernel as it's working great overall but it can be iffy, BeyondStock since it's just the best solution for a roadwarrior and back2basic.
I would do the amount of bugs user's find and encounter however it's very user specific and mileage may vary, So sorting the kernels and organizing them by battery and performance is the best. [/QUOTE]

Remember! Some kernels come with init.d scripts to set values at boot, you may want to check your init.d folder and delete old kernel scripts or you can just dirty flash your rom before flashing a new kernel.
Battery saving tips....
for those wanted to squeeze as much juice as they can out of our m8's.
In accounts and sync go to google and uncheck any syncs you don't need,
In developer options uncheck show animations and allow mock locations,
In display and gestures uncheck ambient display you can also turn off motion gestures if you don't need them and then of auto brightness,
set your brightness manually and try to keep it below 30%
Set screen off time out to 30 seconds or less.
In sound settings uncheck pocket mode, sounds and vibrate.
Turn off auto sync and auto rotate.
use HTC power saver, most of the time performance is perfectly adequate unless playing high end games in which case to can turn it off,
Set GPS to device only not battery saving google messed that up lol.
You can use app ops to deny wake up on syncing apps like google play services facebook and google + ect.
And of course use greenify to hibernate games and apps that are not in constant use,
it's not wise to hibernate sync apps like google+ and facebook and google services this leads to excessive wakelocks,
It's also not wise to hibernate system apps unless it's apps you can download from the playstore and they're not important.
Here is some great info on battery saving.

LeeDroid Rom kernel discussion.
Here is a modified version of elemental x with better memory management and zram and improved battery life. Thanks @alex6600
ElementalX repack
This repack of Flar2 ElementalX 7.00 kernel.
Changes:
* Add LZ4 compression/decompression
* LZ4 compression for zram (faster than default LZO)
* Multithreading compression for zram
* Memory/Math related function optimization
* Disabled some logging
* Changed compiler to Linaro 4.9.4 for Cortex A15 from Christopher83
Warning
Installer make some changes in /etc/fstab.swap file!
New file should looks like this*:
# Android fstab file for enabling zRAM on 2GB device
# zramsize is mandatory and indicates how much uncompressed memory you want the zram area to hold.
# Compression ratios in the 30-50% range are usually observed.
#
/dev/block/zram0 none swap defaults zramsize=858993460,swapprio=1000

* By default, m8 uses 800 MB swap.
Downloads:
New version of ElementalX repack 7.00.3.
This repack of Flar2 ElementalX 7.00 kernel.
Changes:
* GPU default freq 330MHz (like in stock). UI will be smoother.
* Improved compression algorithms
* Minor improvements
!!UPDATE!!
ElementalX repack 7.00.4.
This repack of Flar2 ElementalX 7.00 kernel.
Changes:
* Enabled KSM with HTC KSM Policy (improve power drop impact when KSM is on)
* Motorola's MSM memcpy enhancements
Download ElementalX repack 7.00.4
By default KSM is off. For enable/disable and tuning KSM parameters- use EX Kernel Manager from flar2.
For tuning tons of kernel parameters- I recommend to use EX Kernel Manager from flar2.
Thanks mate ?

I think lyapota had the best sound quality I've heard in a kernel TBH. Better choice is your opinion I can only say try them out and make your decision, there is a kernel guide in the op now mate, it should explain a few things.

At the moment I'm running stock like settings but planning to learn to tweak governors and such to customise my experience.
@smeejaytee ... thats about time someone in here figured this put ... thx a lot for this thread, mate ... looking forward to many hours in here compiling and refining our devices to utter perfection on top of the most perfect rom ever
I thought it might help there isn't really anywhere to talk about this stuff.
