Sorry for disappearing guys, I wasn't in the mood for posting or working on the kernel: unfortunately it looks like I bricked my phone.
I couldn't believe it myself but as soon as I restarted it phone after CWM-flashing my usual JPO rom, going back from official JPU+803.pit, the screen went black and never came up again, no matter the key combination. No signs of life besides warming up slightly after pressing power or connecting the USB cable. No luck with a JIG cable aswell, tried all the way from 290K to 315K Ohm and nothing happens... I guess there's nothing I can do.
The problem is, I came back to Europe last month and official Samsung centers around here are refusing to offer repair services on US phones because of some kind of freak policy they have, even if I pay myself.
Update Dec 13:
I have no words to explain how thankful I am: PAulyhoffman offered to donate a spare phone he had, and promptly shipped it on the same day.
A special mention goes to Patrick Richter, Pauly's father in law, who just passed away on Saturday: a most generous man in honor of whom he would like to dedicate the donation.
I've already covered the shipping fee myself but customs will add a variable amount in taxes (most definitely 20% of original value as they usually do, although the specified value is just $100).
Hoping customs won't hold the package over the holidays, untested version versions will have to do for now.
HUGE thanks go to every single one who offered help, I really am moved by the affection demonstrated by this wonderful community.

I've compiled a Kernel based on Sztupy's ULF and xcaliburinhand's re-oriented kernels, including OC/UV support, 340Mb RAM and compiling optimizations.
Being based on the i9000 JPM source, it comes with every issue xcaliburinhand's kernel might have.
As I have absolutely no kernel programming knowledge, all credit goes to the respective coders: I've merely copied, pasted and compiled things, so I won't be able to offer much additional support or modify any of the function unless they provide source.
THIS IS A FROYO KERNEL, USE ONLY WITH A 2.2 ROM, PREFERABLY AN I9000 ONE
DO NOT USE SETCPU
Features:
- Sztupy's Ultimate Lag Fix V. pre-0.4https://github.com/sztupy
Multiple configurable Lagfix options:
Ext4 No-Journal DATA: /data converted to Ext4 with no journaling, everything else stays RFS
Ext4 No-Journal ALL: /data, /cache and /dbdata converted to Ext4 with no journaling
Ext4 DATA: /data converted to Ext4, everything else stays RFS
Ext4 ALL: /data, /cache and /dbdata converted to Ext4
Ext2 DATA: /data converted to Ext2, everything else stays RFS
Ext2 ALL: /data, /cache and /dbdata converted to Ext2
Advanced options: lets you specifically configure each partition and eventually add an Ext2 loop on top of them
Ext3/4 mount options: enables writeback journaling mode
(Using BIND_DATA_TO_DBDATA you might run out of space with many apps installed)
Suggested configuration (Ext4 ALL):
DATA_FS=ext4
CACHE_FS=ext4
DBDATA_FS=ext4
DATA_LOOP=false
CACHE_LOOP=false
DBDATA_LOOP=false
BIND_DATA_TO_DBDATA=false
Use FAST mount opts
You will get a "Configuration has changed" recovery screen at the first reboot after setting lagfix options, it's perfectly normal. If you wish to keep your current data, select the first option and wait (a separate backup is recommended).
- Modded CWM integrated
- CWM pre-installed (no more install from update.zip)
- reboot to 2e recovery
- reboot to download mode
- tweaking options
- root from recovery
- configure lagfix

If you do not want to mess with commands, use Xan's Voltage Settings app
- do note that you're subtracting voltage from the default setting, which varies with frequency:
Code:
1600MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1400mV
1552MHz CPU 194MHz GPU 1375mV
1488MHz CPU 186MHz GPU 1350mV
1440MHz CPU 205MHz GPU 1325mV
1400MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1300mV
1344MHz CPU 192MHz GPU 1300mV
1288MHz CPU 184MHz GPU 1300mV
1200MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1300mV
1000MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1275mV
800MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1200mV
400MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 1050mV
200MHz CPU 200MHz GPU 950mV
100MHz CPU 100MHz GPU 950mV

CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY=y
CONFIG_KSM=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set

Once again, none of it comes from me and all credit goes to the original developers, especially xcaliburinhand, raspdeep and hardcore
Nevertheless, if you're feeling particularly generous and have already provided for the developers, I'll gladly accept a token of gratitude (after all, being so ignorant I did have to invest quite a bit of time into it).
Everything comes at your own risk, I offer no support at all.
Thank you aleadam, ReedX50v, junktzu, shaolin95, Shane, krl66, Smokestack76, Henry, Xstop, lpsi200, Arffer, newter55, Lertets, txRangerXDA, id10terrordfw and Bedwa for your donations.

reorganized performance levels with a few additions
- v1.5.1
skipped, integrated in 1.5.2
- v1.5
updated raspdeep's OC/UV to v300
multiple performance levels:
100
200
400
800
1000
1200
1360 (GPU downclocked, don't worry performance improves anyway)
1400
1440 (GPU slightly overclocked)
1460 (GPU downclocked)
Default clock at 1200MHz, additional frequencies can be enabled by editing /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/states_enabled_table
in order to update the states table it's necessary to edit to 1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/update_states (echo from terminal or by manually editing the file, just like the states table)
added compatibility with Xan's voltage app v2.0 (please update, v1.9x wouldn't work correctly)
reduced 14xxMHz default voltage to 1.3v
updated CWM to include Hardcore's latest additions
slight menus reorganization
updated optimization scripts (now including battery optimizations and CIFS support)

built-in support for ext4 mount optimizations (writeback mode)
- v1.4.3
fixed 2e recovery, now completely functional
added 1350Mhz, 1400MHz and 1450MHz variants, only available as ODIN packages. The latter two have a default voltage of 1350mV. Keep using Xan's Voltage App v1.98b's 1200MHz setting to undervolt, higher frequencies replace the 1200MHz step, bear in mind the app doesn't show the updated frequency/voltage. Remember to reset said setting before upgrading and please realize how 14xxMHz will only run on few lucky devices
from now on there won't be a CWM version for 1350MHz+ and XT variants as well as a release integrating the modem, just install it on its own if necessary
- v1.4.2
implemented Tiny RCU
re-enabled Samsung's bootanimation when there's no bootanimation.zip
re-added -noatime optimization script
XT variant: 1280MHz, config optimizations: HZ=500, PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY, KSM (possibly unstable, slightly higher performance and battery drain, might be necessary to lower UV)
- v1.4.1
fixed BLN (flashing as update.zip or re-enabling it from CWM might be necessary)
- v1.4
raspdeep's OCUV updated to v217
implemented fastscaling for 100-400MHz frequencies
added 1280MHz variant (UV setting for 1200MHz applies to 1280MHz, so reset it)
ULF updated to pre-0.4, modified to support bootanimations
fixed potential /system corruption
integrated JK3 modem in CWM flash package
kernel version updated to reflect frequency variant (#140-1280 / #140-1200)

- v1.2.1
hopefully fixed script execution on Captivate ROMs aswell
fixed CWM option for enabling BLN
fixed 500hz setting
enabled CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY and CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY as they apparently make no difference in battery use
- v1.2
increased available RAM to 343Mb
updated BLN to v2.2
- v1.1.1
enabled init.d script execution on boot (Xan's app voltage settings are now being kept)
- v1.1
added BFQ I/O scheduler
updated Voodoo color&sharpness
BLN reverted to v2.0, now working (flashing from an update.zip is required to install the Library)
- v1.0.1
fixed JFS filesystem support, added bootanimations, BLN still not working (no clue why not, waiting for xcaliburinhand's upcoming update)
- v1.0
initial release
RESET ALL UV SETTINGS (DELETE INIT.D SCRIPTS) BEFORE UPGRADING TO HIGHER VERSIONS
IF YOU'RE HAVING SLEEP DEATH ISSUES, REVISE UV SETTINGS
Modules and mem config extracted from samsung's JPU kernel: DO NOT USE THIS KERNEL ON JPU FIRST BOOT OR YOU'LL GET AN ENDLESS VIBRATING BLACK SCREEN, BOOT ON SAMSUNG STOCK AND ONLY THEN FLASH THIS KERNEL
The XT variant is slightly faster but can cause instability (which might require higher voltage) and charging death.
Voltage Control 3 supports enabling higher frequencies from the freq table, but doesn't yet let you disable selective ones.
To disable a certain frequency its corresponding value in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/states_enabled_table has to be set to '0'.
Changing update_states is no longer necessary. That file can either be manually edited or modified through an 'echo' command, which is much more convenient if you're in front of a PC and able to use ADB.
It's a volatile RAM file, which means changes made to it won't stick through reboots; I've included a script that reapplyies settings on boot in the CWM package (also attached to this post).
Let's say you wish to overclock to 1400MHz and disable 1288-1344:
1344MHz corresponds to the 6th value, 1288 to the 7th:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#SET OC - below are GHz decimals (i.e. 1.60GHz, 1.55GHz, 1.50GHz and so on)
#60 55 48 44 40 34 28 20 00 .8 .4 .2 .1
[color=red]#[/color]echo 0 0 0 0 1 [color=blue]0[/color] [color=blue]0[/color] 1 1 1 1 1 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/states_enabled_table

Awwww that's a deal breaker for me, need bln badly. But yes finally, sztupy ulf on the cappy.
BLN now included, untested.
Awesome. I've been trying to figure out the how to do all this as well. I edited the code this morning at work and I just thought I'd check XDA while CodeSourcery finished installing...and what do I see?
I'll be flashing this immediately. FWIW, I've actually been running raspdeep's OC/UV 2.0 since Monday. I have it set at -100UVLF, -75UVHF, and I've had absolutely no problems with it at all, but it seems to be a YMMV situation. I don't think all processors can handle the UV. Even with (I think) unhelpful's, JAC's, and kingklick's kernels for the Galaxy S, phones handle the UV fine, some don't. Battery life is amazing with this though.
Also, I've had problems with screen off settings with setCPU. You probably don't want to use them at all.

Can I get this uploaded in Shep's rom since he is "unavailable" until tomorrow Since you are so fast at making peoples dreams come true
/sarcasm
so has anyone run this yet? it seems pretty alpha and my phone just went into download mode to test it
By the way everyone - the UV is still what I think raspdeep considers alpha. You will probably want to stress your system a bit to ensure it can handle it. I found that with -100UVLF/-75UVHF flash video was a little bit choppier than with the settings at -75UVLF/-50UVHF.
That said, it has been steady for me over the last couple days, no problems at all with it. I can watch flash video and my CPU temps still stay under 100.
Also, link to xan's UV GUI seems to be missing - so here is another one.
And having alogcat installed and knowing how to use it would probably be the best practice if you want to help raspdeep make this even better.

What lagfix are you trying to install? I got that with trying to use all=jfs, switching to all=ext4 worked.
BLN doesn't seem to be working. Yes I did enable it in the custom recovery menu, and yes I'm using a version of Mms.apk that supports "led notifications."

- hack mfc driver, to give all available mem to an application, if the requested mem is more than the max. available (maybe useful later, does not change anything right now (afaik))
- fix execution of boot-patch.sh, disabled twice execution of init.d, enabled tv-out server for all devices (i9000 already had this)
- battery: fix charging display for car dock
- increase read-ahead on moviNAND
changelog 25.07.2012 part2:
- fixed cwm backup and restore for kernels without /datadata partition
changelog 25.07.2012:
- updated recovery (no "sdcard format"-bug anymore, external sd card is named correctly)
- vibrant: hopefully fixed froyo ril
- jellybean: galaxy s settings working now
changelog 22.07.2012:
- updated kernal base to linux 3.0.36
- updated "block" to linux 3.3
- readded fiops io scheduler (kept cfq this time)
- updated cwm recovery to 6.0.1.0 (please create a new nandroid, because of possible incompatibilities between old/new recovery)
- compiled with linaro toolchain (gcc 4.7.1) and O3 compiler flags
- made uksm scan less often (save cpu time and power)
- at first boot: only delte init.d scripts created by other kernels
- increased usb write performance
- lowered ram and display voltages a little bit
- fixed some bugs related to devil settings (they should stick now after reboot, if set by one of the devil apps)
- support for scripts in /system/etc/shutdown.d (thx to Efpophis)
all scripts placed at /data/local/shutdown.d or /system/etc/shutdown.d get executed at shutdown/reboot
you can use this, to play a shutdown sound for example.
by default 00shutdown gets created, which plays a music file, when it is placed at one of these folders/places

- added the possibility to change zram size (at /data/local/devil/zram_size, with valid values: 50, 75, 100 and 150 (all in mb))
- fixed the applying of user_min/max freq after reboot
- vibrant: fixed gps
- fascinate: fixed nandroid in cwm recovery
what is ksm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_SamePage_Merging_(KSM)
uksm is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage
############# most probably not working (yet)##############
i have added seperate gpu oc from jt1134's galaxy_tab (to switch between 200 and 250 mhz), but i did not get any improvements in antutu...further tests needed
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 250 mhz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 200 mhz), no reboot needed
and also have changend default screen refreshrate from 60 to 56, with the possibility to change it:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (60 hz)

changelog 01.05.2012:
- all changes from cm9 stock kernel (including mount points option)
- some fine tuning to deadline and sio
- Devil Idle: limiting bus/ram/gpu speed to 100 mhz for 100-800 mhz cpu freq, while screen off (automatic mode) or always (permanet), both modes automatically reduce the int voltages of the affected freq by 50 mV
- compiled with swap support
- added stratosk's smooth_ui to lulzactive governor (activated by default)
- rest oc_value to 100 while screen off, and back when screen turns on (combined with devil idle automatic, can't be turn on/off without devil idle)
- added posibility for different voltages while screen off (also bundled with devil_idle, with default settings, stock arm voltages are applied, because of live_oc set to 100)
- added the possibility to set freq limits while screen off (min and max freq)
19.04.2012
- even better fix to selective live_oc (last one (in test kernel) generated some overhead)
- fixed sampling rate of ondemand and conservative (have ported mialwe's/stratosk's sleep multipliers)
- new tunables for ondemand and conservativ
sleep multiplier and tunables:
mialwe and stratosk had the great idea, to change the sampling rate of conservative and ondemand governor while display of. for this, he introduced the sleepmultiplier (in his case factor 3). this means, if you set sampling rate to 20000, it changes to 60000 while screen off, and back, when screen on.
for ondemand and conservative:
i have made this multipliers tunable. proper values are between 1 and 5, because one could want a higher multiplier while screen off, if sampling rate is very low while screen on (higher sampling rate means, less checking for work load --> better batterie, worse performance). with this tunables you get better batterie, without making the performance worse while screen on.
two other tunables: up_threshold_min_freq and responsiveness_freq
the first one is a very low threshold while on low freq (by default 40), to make the governor scale up faster, until the responsiveness_freq is reached.
the responsiveness_freq is set to 400000 (400 mhz) by default. while the freq is below this value, up_threshold is the same as up_threshold_min_freq, and freq jumps to responsiveness_freq, with skipping the freq between the actual one and the responsiveness_freq. (conservative governor does not jump up to this step)
responsiveness_freq can be set to values between 100000 and 1400000
up_threshold_min_freq can be set to the same values as the normal up_threshold.
not tunable: while screen off, up_threshold is set to 95, no matter your other settings, to save more batterie.
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
for lulzactive:
for this governor, i did similar things, but they are not tunable till now.
when screen off:
- inc_cpu_load is set to 90, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- up_sample_time is set to 50000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- down_sample_time is set to 40000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
other changes:
- fix to touchwake from ezekeel, and another fix from stratosk
- upstream fix to compass
- building for i9000B now, too (big thanks to F4k for the hints by pn )
- removed some typos from recovery
- removed some annoying "no's" and "yes" from recovery in misc menu
- fixed wifi mode switch (pm_fast is the one with better signal)
14.04.2012:
- new b versions (only stock ram) changend to 377 mb, VC version needs the 720p fix from my ftp server. cmc version already patched
13.04.2012:
- updated wifi driver
- added the possibility to switch between wifi PM_Fast and PM_Max mode (Pm_Fast = better signal, PM_Max = better batterie, default is PM_Max)
- user interface to disable fsync (this gives more performace, at the risk of data loss on a crash, taken from ezekeel, so it should be ok ), default is off, to be safe
- fixed voodoo color kernels (these have the VC in their names)
10.04.2012:
- added vibrator intensity control (by mialwe), presets can be changend in recovery
- stock ram version now available (348 mb ram), XL (390 mb), XL_bm (402 mb)
- removed 1080 mhz freq for now
- small correction to touchwake
- small correction to selective live_oc (now the low freq really are not live_oc'ed)
05.04.2012:
- fixed bug in selective live_oc, which caused the target high not taking affect to the highest freq, if highest freq equals target high
- fixed another bug in selective live_oc, which could lead to gpu crashes due to overclocking the ram, but not the cpu freq (for low steps)
- added a switch to change between "normal" and selective live_oc
by changing the live_oc mode while using it, live_oc value is set back to 100, to prevent strange things
- added possibility to set max. freq for boot (in recovery). This freq is set until init.d is executeted (it is automatically set to 1000 at this point, to make sure there are no conflicts with other cpu settings from users)
#Already in the last version, but i forgot about it:
- deep idle fixes from stratosk (many thanks)
- added possibility to underclock by using live_oc (limit is 90 now, which means lowering all freq and bus speed by 10%, to save more batterie when really needed)
03.04.2012:
For now there are three different RAM versions:
- stock mem kernel has 379 mb ram, everything working
- "slim ics" (XL) kernel comes with 390 mb, this is breaking playback of some high resolution videos
- XL_BM is coming with 402 mb ram, but breaking 720p
(while flashing the kernel, the modded rom files are also flashed, so you don't need to flash a new rom to get 379 or 390 mb)
-added new frequency: 1080 mhz (1100 does not like live_oc)
- fixed SmartassV2 for live_oc (after changing live_oc value, you have to change the smartass values, too, but then they automatically apply to the live_oc value (although you can only select 800 mhz in nstools (for example))
- touch recovery with custom devil menu (for some reason it takes a few seconds to load the first time, missing virtual keys is a warning, because there are no virtual keys yet)
-fast charge (thx to chad0989 for this), disabled by default.
you also can use the widget from chad (to place on homescreen) to toggle the fast_charge mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...stchargewidget

while fast charge is activated you cannot connect as usb device
- added datafix script to init.d (this script is deactivated by deafult. to make it work, you have to creat a file named datafix and placed in /data/local/)
- reworking and cleaning many parts to get more ram, speed, and stability

Continuing my discussion from ICS thread here. Either I effed up enabling Idle2 or running a internal Cat of kmsg is not letting my phone drop to idle . Can Idle 2 be enabled from the app or that needs to be implemented?
Edit: Got everything to work. Here is the KMSG that I got. The problem is, if I use ADB the phone doesn't activate Idle2 but i feel like making my phone cat kmsg while I'm trying to crash it might not get the whole txt? I could be wrong. Hope it provides more info.
Idle2kmsg.txt
Wait so what's the difference between deep_idle 2 and idle2? Anyways I'm going to flash it and see what's the difference!

Apparently I don't get SoD with idle2, my phone locks up. Screen Actually showed lockscreen this time when I attempted to wake it up while playing music. Sadly my computer doesn't see the device during this state. Any advice? Did you take a look at the kmsg I provided in my earlier post?
Thanks for your contribution .
Can't get to recovery?
Hello all, first time in Devil kernel.
First flash went well, I flashed and tested it was working by rebooting back into recovery. I set a few options (such as vibrate intensity) and rebooted, everything was OK (even better even, because Waze started working finally).
I did a 'touch /data/twrp' to try to enable the TWRP recovery, and rebooted, but now I'm kinda stuck at the kernel logo. Capacitive buttons do light up (but don't vibrate the phone), and I can reboot by holding all three hard buttons for ten seconds.
I noticed in the changelog that "for some reason" it takes a few seconds to start TWRP, but I waited for ten minutes (and dropped by battery 43%) before giving up. Coincidentally, now I'm getting the "android.process.media" has stopped error, waiting to see if a appdata wipe will help on that one...
Thing is, even after deleting the file I touched, it's still not letting me into Recovery (the normal CWM). Are there any hints at this? Or should I look at trying to get Heimdall working to try reflashing the kernel?

yes, i think best would be to reflash the kernel, and then try to get to recovery.

Yeah, on the thoughts that it might have been a bad flash, I did try that. Now I've downloaded the 8/1 version for testing, we'll see what results. TWRP should be rom-independent, right?
I just don't know what else I might be doing wrong. Perhaps it's reading the TWRP information from a previous version and hanging up? Oh well, I supposed it can wait.
I renamed the TWRP file from a previous kernel's version and tried to reflash, but still no go...

i think twrp is not working at the moment with jellybean. i try to fix this tomorrow.
till then, you have to go to cache and delte the twrp file from there. if this file isn't present, then please attch your /boot.txt

Ok. Somehow the Devil Kernel Config app wasn't properly deleting the file, once I used an actual command to delete it, it worked OK to be in CWM recovery.
Just for kicks, I attached my /boot.txt log.

Boot.txt is fine now

Just for clarification, doesn't the boot.txt file get overwritten each boot? So if I'm having issues getting into TWRP, and I reboot to get out of recovery mode, the boot.txt file will only give information about the current boot (not the broken TWRP)?

Yes. That's right. It would have been helpful, if you grep it with adb, while stuck. I already did this now, and it wasn't helpful

One thing that always frustrated me was the fact that there is literally no way to watch the kernel messages on the display as it boots. That's one of my most trusted debug methods on the computer: Have it show what it's doing on the console.
Of course, there is a serial port somewhere, but it's apparently not easily accessible without special hardware...
Something just occurred to me: What if we could manually load the TWRP ramdisk and chroot into it? Would that allow us to interactively watch it? or (since stuff is already loaded and junk) that may not be possible? I noticed that adb starts, but we can't get a shell, so...
There is 1.1.3 kernel uploaded.

Thanks!
Thanks! I've been waiting for this!
Awesome post!Thx so much.
Running the latest JellyBro with the sc version and 720p patch. It's very smooth. Thanks!
am i ok to assume that i can install this kernel if im already running android 4.1.1 ?? like will the datadata partition be gone or should i install another kernel to re-write my partitions and then install yours? thanks a lot i really liked your semaphore kernel in an miui rom i tried out and would love to have it with this jb/paranoid android rom im running

I'm pretty sure this is only for roms that don't have the datadata partition. If you have a rom with the datadata partition on it then you'll want to install the "ICS" version of this kernel and not the one with "jellybean" in the name. I believe that one is at v1.2.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567464
If that doesn't work then you'll have to install a 4.1.1 rom that will repartition first, in order to use it, like you thought.
How is paranoid running for you?
Also, thank you stratosk for your work. Working well on the euroskank cm10 kang. I did have a couple of soft reboots but they seem to have gone away when I disabled deep idle. (I tried it because it seemed to work fine on my cappy (i896) when I was on ICS and 1.2.6).
New version 2.0.3c
- fix USB mounting
- fix netfilter issues (netfilter is now built into the kernel, no need to enable it from Semaphore application)
It includes all the changes of 2.0.1c
- /data partition added nodiratime, data=writeback to mounting options (a little bit more risky)
- ondemand: io_is_busy = 1 by default
- Radio FM as module again
- CWM update to 6.0.1.1 (includes selecting backup type, thanks to Koush)
- CWM added option to mount external USB storage (thanks to krarvind)
- CWM removed multiple 'no' in confirmations (create a file .multi_confirm in /sdcard/clockworkmod/ if you want multi confirmations)
- cleaned some stuff...
Normal versions (for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
2.0.3c
- 373.5MB - 385.7MB
For Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
2.0.3sc

Great kernel! But when will the compass work?
I'm on Semaphore 2.03c+CM10.
Excellent as alway Stratosk. I'm on Paranoid and your 2.0.3sc. Everything working fine and fast.

The compass gives me a random direction. But it works fine with Stock CM 10 kernel.
I'm still investigating but so far it's been sticking at the boot up screen every time trying to use 2.0.3 with the Aug. 18 Captivate Euroskank CM10 build. It boots fine with the built in kernel. It had been working perfectly on the previous build. I think they made a few significant changes to CM10 over the past few days. I noticed I somehow ended up with \data\ wiped too. I need to go back through their commits and see what was changed.
Cheers guys.

It'll work on Euroskank unofficial CM10 builds up to Aug 15th. Builds after that will result in no boot (likely until the kernel is updated).

Probably because Semaphore Kernel for Captivate actually released is the version before the new CM10 partition layout switch.
Stratosk will provide us a kernel for official CM10, until then we have to patiently wait.
2.0.3s with X-Bean
Hi Stratosk,
I tried your 2.0.3s kernel for X-Bean Rom and it works pretty well. It's no very fast (I'm using ondemand), but i think that this may depend on nodatadata. I'm using Nova launcher and there are some lags in appearing for some widgets at the screen-waking. Spirit FM and poweramp function very well. May I ask you a question? There are sound settings in several app, such as Poweramp or Apollo: could they enter in conflict with Voddosound settings?
Thank you a lot for your kernel.:good:

Deep sleep does not work with WIFI on
Hi Stratosk,
I'm on X-Bean with Semaphore 2.0.3s kernel. I taggled deep sleep in semaphore manager. However, with WIFI on, the phone remains alawys awake, even with screen off, and never goes into deep sleep (verified this night with better batterystat: awake 99%, battery decrease 25% in 7h). Is this normal?
Thank you

Important info on toggle-ag script usage (from the script comments):
#**Please note that toggling back and forth the scheduler will
#produce undesired effects, as it takes the system a few minutes
#to switch the process scheduler each time effectively. Imagine
#all processes that run in the backround are rearranged each time
#you switch the process scheduler. In other words you shouldn't

Goo Manager Support (NEW!)
You can now download my custom kernels, tweaks, etc from Goo Manager, available on the Play Store. Goo Manager is similar to ROM Manager, except it works very well with TWRP 2.x
First time use instructions:
Set Download path to: /sdcard/goomanager/ in "Settings" (This is important as the location on Android and TWRP need to both be exact same!)
Go back to the main screen in Goo Manager and click Browse Compatible Roms
Choose 'godmachine81'
For kernels choose a500_kernel (you are welcome to look around in my other directories)
Choose the release you wish to download
Choose 'begin download'
You will see a notification for 'Download Finished' - Tap on it
It will prompt you to Select Zip(s) to flash, you may choose more than 1!
After you have selected all the zips you want to flash, go to the option 'Order and flash selected' or if you want to add a zip from a custom location, choose the 'Add zip from another location option'
Once in the Order and flash menu, it is important that you set the order to flash in the proper order, when you are sure it is right, then click Flash (First time you use Goo Manager, it will prompt you that an OpenRecovery is needed, choose that you already have one)
After You click flash, the system will reboot to TWRP, flash your .zip files, and reboot back to android without any user interaction.
ZRAM
What is it?
Zram was developed so that systems with a limited amount of physical ram may allocate a percentage of that to a system swap device using compression. By compressing the data that is in the swap space you can fit more data into the same amount of ram. For example App#1 is consuming 500mb of a total 725mb ram, this leaves you with 225mb free. If you have Zram enabled then App#1 may begin to swap to the zram device, when doing this you will have an advantage, because any amount of data from App#1 that gets swapped out to Zram will be compressed meaning it is actually using less physical ram. So instead of only 225mb free of 725mb you may now end up with something more like 400mb free because data from App#1 is compressed in Zram, in this example thanks to compression you cut the 500mb memory usage of App#1 to 325mb. Zram should have a minimal impact on performance while giving you the benefit of fitting more data into the amount of physical ram your device has.
HOWTO
This kernel includes functional ZRAM support, however to take advantage of it you must enable it from userspace (Android). Cyanogen Mod has an option in Settings > Performance > Memory to enable Zram, however it doesn't properly work - I'm not sure exactly how it is coded in the cm sources, but when you enable zram it doesn't create the zram swap device like it should. To work around this I wrote the following flashable .zip files that contain a script to automatically create the zram swap device at boot, please download and flash the size you wish to allocate to zram:
Zram - 100MB (14% ram)
Zram - 150MB (20% ram)
Zram - 200MB (28% ram)
Zram - 250MB (34% ram)
Zram - 300MB (41% ram)
Zram - 350MB (~50% ram)
To Disable/Remove Zram
In the event that you want to disable Zram then just remove the file(s) at:
/system/etc/init.d/50zram-*
After the 50zram- file has been removed, just reboot your device and you will no longer have Zram enabled. To re-enable just reflash one of the above files.
ChangeLog:
2.0
Backport several bits mainline code from Linux 3.5 - including Security, ARM Libs, MM, and Android specifics
Zcache + Cleancache added
Ability to concatenate kernel cmdline configuration to Bootloader's cmdline without breaking compatibility with any bootloaders ( needed for zcache/cleancache to work)
Zram patches and updates
Clean up dmesg logs
Deadline IO Sched tweak (1:1 ratio writes/fifo) - VR remains default IOsched
CONFIG: turn off some verbose logging/debugging to reduce overhead, enabled Load Lens Correction Data to smooth out camera operation
TweakIO init script included by default to optimize disk read/write performance
Several other small patches and tweaks to underlying sources
1.6
Minor update adds support for USB-DVB devices, provided in two separate files for convenience to users who do not wish to use DVB-USB all that is needed is the kernel package, for users who wish to use DVB please flash both the USB-DVB and the Kernel pkgs. **Warning please only install the USB-DVB package if you have the matching kernel pkg installed. This may require you download firmware for your DVB device to work, also for the modules to load automatically you will need an init script that loads the needed modules for the device - reason I didn't do this is because there are 79 different modules for universal support, it would be crazy to load them all for everyone all the time, so if you want this feature please do some research on how to get the proper modules (and firmware if needed) to load properly automatically via init script. For help join #iconia-dev on irc.freenode.net and look for godmachine81.
1.5
Add support for USB devices [USB Audio, game controllers, mice, keyboards, etc]
Adjust GPU/CPU voltages and frequencies - should have impact on GPU performance
Interactive governor default again and backported from Nexus 7 / NVidia Grouper kernel v 3.1

1.2
Autogroup per UID instead of TTY task (huge improvement to autogroup on android)
Set BFQ as default I/O Scheduler
Allocator: Switch to SLUB from SLAB
Remove verbose debugging symbols
Set proper firmware/calibration paths for WiFi in configuration
1.1
Add userspace support for undervolting

Well,
I'm always looking to flash things. I suppose it doesn't include 3g and GPS for the 501?
Should be a simple merge to use ICS 501 source from Acer.
However, I'll throw in a flash just to check install. Will report back later. Supermarket trip first.
MD
EDIT: I am to assume this is for ICS. Also, I noticed in your install script, there is no provision to delete current module files. I would suspect this would cause an issue if you already have an OC/UV kernel with modified ko files?
Probably is best to modify the IS to delete current lib/module files, and replace them with the required ones.
Hi,
I flashed the kernel over cm10 preview with TWPR and it boots up fine.
I found one bug yet:
when selecting lagfree governor the tablet freezes and reboots.

PSensor3G the appropriate driver for what you are wanting? It isn't a default in the A500 config, but I can definitely recompile it with it turned on.
**Edit - I had already merged in the A501 code drop, so if those things are not working it should be as simple as altering the config. I build simdetect in static instead of a module - it was a new feature in the 501 code drop, if it has issues being built in statically please let me know, as far as gps goes, it is included and *should* work, however I have no way of testing these things first to make sure.
GPS should work, don't see why it wouldn't.

Interesting as that isn't happening with the A100. I'll check into it or maybe remove lagfree, it's kind of misleading anyway, because imho it produces more lag than any of the other governors..

The script will remove modules from system/lib/modules and replace them with 1 module which is the wifi module, everything else is built into this kernel, it WILL NOT cause an issue at all, when you reflash a different kernel it should overwrite the modules installed by mine. Aside from that nothing in the ramdisk will be touched. And this is for HC/ICS/JB, it should run on any of roms you have as this entire kernel is built static, except for the wifi module.

Thanks for reporting, I will check into what the differences would be between how the A500 and A100 boards handle the cpufreq transistions between gov. Not sure why they are causing issues with A500 and not with A100/A200 since they are all tegra2 and the cpufreq drivers are all tuned for the same processor, that's a bit weird, but thanks for reporting they are having issues, I will take note of that with A500 and may remove them or may patch whatever is necessary causing the lockup on gov change. Thanks again
**edit: yes all the FS supports are built in - if you have need for them being modules due to problems being built in statically let me know and I can just rebuild them as .ko instead of static. - Not had issues with any of the SMB/CIFS connections with A100 and static CIFS. Also NTFS is built in for whoever might have a weird sd card that is formatted with ntfs instead of fat32, or if they need to mount NTFS partition in any other manor
**edit2: haven't built A500 Xtreme edition yet, A100/A200 are working with xtreme until 100% load is reached for a duration of around 2-3 minutes and then freq nose dives to 216-456 and never raises back, has to do with the voltages clocks in dvfs / tegra2_clocks It's on my todo list of things to fix, and if I get it fixed I'll compile for A500. Kinda doing the A500 work in the blind, but doing the best I can to not have the device present.
Gotta clear something, not smartass V2 made it freeze it is caused by switching from interacriveX to SavageZen.

Thanks, that makes more sense now, as I just added interactiveX into my sources today and I haven't fully tested it. That's why there isn't a new release to the A100/A200 guys yet and I have done a few more things also as tests. If interactiveX is an issue it can be removed, I can just build again out of a 1.3 / 1.4 tag and eliminate that issue. I will be testing on my a100 to try to reproduce the problem. appreciate the info
**Edit and yes I can reproduce that bug on my A100 - I greatly appreciate the info civato! It isn't just switching to smartassv2 from interactiveX it is when switching to any other governor from interactiveX - I will check the sources for how interactiveX is handling the handoff right now
**Here is what I have concluded on: interactiveX has a serious bug when switching to another governor, I have looked at the sources and tried to debug dmesg/logcat info while the switch occurs and can't come up with any relevant information needed to pin point what the exact cause is with interactiveX - I made a few modifications on how the governor gets disabled when switching to another governor - didn't help... Still happens. Good news is: The regular 'interactive' driver that we have is backported from the nv grouper 3.1 kernel and should be much better at powersave/performance ratio than the older 2.6.3x interactive governors we have been using. So what I am going to do for you guys is the same thing I'll do for the A100/A200 guys (which never had this problem because interactiveX was never released to their devices - A500 kernel got compiled before I have pushed anything upstream to github or made other flashables.) I am going to take out interactiveX completely, keep the backported interactive assuming that you guys aren't experiencing any issues with 'interactive', and we'll make the release 1.5. Hopefully that will clear up any bugs you may have with this alpha test and people can begin to use this as a daily driver on their tabs. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me with this alpha release, not only have you helped me to find a bug with the A500 but also with A200/A100 before I released the downloads of 1.5. Thanks guys!

Of course that wouldn't work since the ntfs module is built in (would conflict). I will make it module and recompile, need to see what is in the user land that depends on ntfs being a module and not static.
Civato: see how this works please.. InteractiveX has been removed, and NTFS is a module. thanks
download: https://github.com/downloads/godmac...Custom-Kernel/gm-a500-v1.5-alpha-2-signed.zip
I did not add the ufsd.ko to the modules. If you could tell me if the mainline ntfs.ko is not working, could you get me dmesg output on the ufsd.ko when trying to load it. Thanks in advance!

No , no luck , ntfs is not working , I did 2 tests . One without modding the ramdisk and one where I added the following line "insmod system/lib/modules/ntfs.ko" .
Did you try with the ufsd.ko module that comes with the acer A500 stock kernel?
If you download the kernel from my flexreaper thread , see my sig you can find it there.

if you have that handy can u stick it in /system/lib/modules and reboot to see if it loads, not sure why there is a problem as i have module support for other versions enabled.
Civato: not exactly sure why this would be any different if you have the same .ko file and have already placed it in system/lib/modules/ and rebooted, but here is a download that contains the ntfs.ko and ufsd.ko in the modules if you don't mind testing it:
https://github.com/downloads/godmac...Custom-Kernel/gm-a500-v1.5-alpha-3-signed.zip
Just an initial look see. 3g and GPS work for the 501.
A little sluggish on first boot for a minute, but settled down. Will take a couple days to do battery rundown, and to check on 3g screen freeze and SOD. These issues haunted the 501 when it came to UV kernels. It's a lot less tolerant to UV than the 500 due to the 3g.

Note that while you can download the most current kernel from the links below, this thread is no longer being updated. Go to Devs-base for the active user thread. Watch this for details.
Here's a custom kernel for you all to try out. It should work with the Evervolv nightlies. Not tested with other ROM's.

NOTICE: This kernel can be overclocked over the standard Touchpad voltage regulator settings. It may or may not be stable for your particular Touchpad. I am not responsible in any way for anything that occurs as a result of your use of this kernel. You agree that by flashing this kernel, you are doing so with a full understanding that you assume full liability for any and all issues that may arise from doing so.

This kernel must be flashed from recovery (DO NOT USE TP TOOLKIT!) No need to clear caches, format system, or any other preparation. Flash and boot. You can set the kernel parameters from the EVToolkit, but I highly recommend Kernel Adiutor for more detailed and granular control of settings. If you don't like it, recover by reflashing your base EV ROM.
Here's a few facts:
CPU Overclockable to 1890KHz
Level 2 frequency boost to 1890KHz
Stepped 2D & 3D GPU OC up to 267 MHz and 320 Mhz, respectively
Additional governors and schedulers
Use Kernel Adiutor for tuneable parameters in the kernel
READ HERE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GOVERNORS AND SCHEDULERS: Guide Link
NOTE!: The kernel has stability up to 1836 KHz, so if you decide to try the higher frequencies or change the cpu voltages, be sure and UNSET THE 'APPLY AT BOOT' option in your kernel tuner app. If your tablet can't handle the higher frequencies or voltages, it will either freeze or reboot. If it freezes, you will have to do a hard boot (hold power and HOME key simultaneously until it reboots). It should revert back to the default frequency of 1512 KHz max, 384 KHz min., but if it doesn't, Kernel Adiutor (KA) has a delay in setting the options. Get into KA as soon as you can after it reboots and set the CPU options to a stable setting.
Download links. No system/full wipes or cache clearing required.

Thanks Shumash. If you wish to return to stock EV kernel you do a full wipe and reflash the ROM?

No need to do a wipe since only the kernel will change. There is another way to do it if you know your way around, i.e.,
Before flashing the SKZ kernel, copy the uImage.Evervolv file in /boot to a location on your 'sdcard'.
Flash the SKZ kernel
If you decide to restore the original EV kernel, delete the uImage.Evervolv file in /boot
Copy the saved copy of uImage.Evervolv on the 'sdcard' to /boot.
Reboot and stock kernel will be restored (any settings you made while in the SKZ kernel will be lost).

Nope. That's why it's stated for EV. You just need to try it out and see. Keep in mind that other ROM's name the uImage as cyanogenmod or AOKP, etc., and this kernel won't work unless renamed to match the kernel it replaces. Report back for others
Has anyone tried the 12/9 kernel over the 12/9 nightly? I got boot error. Rom worked fine before I tried the kernel. I just reflashed from and it works fine.

I was able to boot fine but when I OC to 1836 and tried the dancedance governor I rebooted in antutu benchmark(twice now). Been trying to fetch some logs with the Evervolv bug reporter but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Tested again, stock speeds, default governor and I was able to complete Antutu Benchmark.
Shumash be advised that the 12/9 nightly has moved up to Android 7.1.1, not sure if that's an issue.

I redownloaded my kernel zip and the latest Evervolv 12,11 nightly but I'm still experiencing crashing with Antutut benchmark when the CPU is set to 1836. It always crashes in the same place after the video tests @ Image processing blur load screen. However when I set the CPU to 1782 it finishes the test every time and gets a great score.
Note: using the default governor while testing

As you are aware, some 'pads can OC, some can't. Mine can (with the default governor, 19793).
Mine could also oc to 2.1ghz back in jellybean but my phone could not reach it own max oc, it mostly depend of if you got a good SoC batch but they required more cheaper one for metting the demand or a bad one which was intended for getting use has lower end. That mostly the case with PC CPU but since all mobile device was underclocked by default, it did not make any difference for end user because of the heat and energy consumption of full clock or overclock.
Great to see the Tenderloin still alive with at less a single custom roms but seeing a custom kernel on rolland's video on my youtube feed made me fell like "wtf, i need to get updated on that device devellopement, it's really happening ! ". Thank shumash, my tenderloin might not be my main tablet anymore (buyed an Surface Pro 3 and found a Nexus 7 2012 in the dump) but's still a very good device for light stuff or has a second screen in bed for a guide in a game. You are amazing like always.
