While I can definitely understand that and am sorry to hear that more feedback hasn't been given, I'm surprised that after linking test 11 of JVH on Continuum you didn't update with another one, given that I believe there was a serious issue with the 1000 mHz step? In that case I would have thought you'd link it.

At any rate, you do a great job. I had no issues with test 13 and was planning on flashing test 15 later tonight to test tomorrow.

Will this work on a jvh kernel ?

I am running Mosaic 2 and had the talon v1.6 on it with the ext4 and oc

But I believe the Mosaic 3 will be jvb based rom..
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Actually the dailys are 250hz, and some of the last couple releases have been 250 (forgot to set it back)...so changing the hz really doesnt have much effect going from 100 to 250/256
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Not until 0.1.7 is released, 0.1.6 and down are jvb
[Captivate Android Development] rattarico:

OC 1.2

Is there a way to OC to 1.2? I had it running at 1.2 and I am not sure what I messed with to break that feature.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Use the Voltage Control app found in the Themes and Apps subforum
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
OC 1.2

When I first installed the Kernel it was Over Clocked. So this is a much better way to control it.

Thanks

What is the difference between BIGMEM and regular kernel.

I know that it is important to have memory free to run more apps, but what is the difference/benefit between the two?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
BIGMEM will break hd video recording. That's really about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
I was running the Mosaic 2 jvb rom with the Talon v1.6 jvb based rom and over clocking it for a week+ for now. I didn't really seem to have any problems..With the exception that it really ran faster imo.. Especially the movie video playback search after using the stage fright.

Corrected my post, I just found out Mosaic was jvm based ! So many different things !
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
If anyone wants their thanks meter increased....i need a newer talon kernel and cant find it...im gettin 10-11s on linpack :(

Oddly enough the solution to my. .gif problem was to hit app killer if the. .gif won't work navigate back to te browser (xscope) and blazow it works.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Its fixed in 0.1.7 which is not released yet, should be out in a day or two
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
And v1.7 will be jvh ?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
with xcals kernel i get 14@1ghz
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I get 14 - 14.5 with talon t15 @ 1ghz and 16.5 - 17 @ 1.2

[Captivate Android Development] babo1453:
Kudos, Existz, I have to say that Talon has been the most stable kernel for me (test 13 now for me I think), on rfs with all tweaks disabled (still OC'd to 1.2). I haven't had any lag issues. The only issue I think is that I can't do the sensor/rotate calibration without severe problems, but not screwing with it is a simple enough work-around.

Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Lol

Actually mosiac is jvz based :rolleyes: or any other letter you want to throw at the end because you've been told it's jvh several times.
[Captivate Android Development] rahlquist:
Thanks existz, any chance 0.1.7 will have any battery current output like I mentioned https://github.com/existz/linux_gt-i9000-gb/issues/5

?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
To be honest the battery driver is over my head, but ill leave the issue (request) open and see if I can find someone to work on the battery driver. But im not sure if that can be added back or not
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
first of all

thanks existz for the awesome kernal

I got a question

for the BIGMEM kernal, no 720p means no 720p recording right?

cheers
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
you are correct
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Just tried Talons kernel again since ive recently started from COMPLETE scratch. Full jf6 flashback with boot loaders...full master clear no tibu etc...i still see the ui as choppy/laggy. Tried to fiddle with set cpu...set cpu to ramp up quicker to try to smooth things out but to no avail. I will try again with a new release..i WANT to rock this kernel but i cant....my phone just runs better on xcals. I want to report the issues im having and hopefully they are resolved because when existz's kernels are near final they just have a PLETHORA of awesome features and tweaks.

*edit I notice a lot of people dont populate their home screens too much. some people have a widget or 2 and 2-4 apps and thats all. Ive always have every screen PACKED with apps and widgets. I never had any kind of lag or choppiness issue on froyo. I had Paragon Rc6 and the onix 2.0.5 kernel and it ran smooth as silk. I just wish i could help pinpoint this issue of choppiness when switching screens.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
What rom are you using?

Use the tasks app and turn off the big mem auto killer thing and vm swappiness

Turn in media stage fright and reboot and try again

Go read the continuum thread for more tweaks based on talon;)

Swyped from gingerbread powered captivate
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Ive done ALL that prior to flashing stock and master clearing...its no different. Im not the only one as scores of others are using xcals...theres an issue. Thanks for your suggestions though they are appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
Just a quick update on CIFS support from my end:

I've found that mounting shares that contain a space will cause problems. Messing around with mounting via command line brought me to that conclusion. Otherwise it does *seem* to be working properly. Seems a bit slower than with FroYo, but perhaps thats just my impression. Mounting with CIFSManager does work, again as long as there are no spaces in the share path.

Also, the "slow-work.ko" module does not work. When trying to "insmod slow-work.ko" I get an error "invalid module format". Perhaps this has something to do with why CIFS is working differently than in FroYo? Or perhaps the 2.3.x CIFS kernel module does not depend on slow-work.ko like in 2.2.x?

Hopefully this helps someone...
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Actually the cifs.ko and slow-work.ko modules were pulled from chainfires thread, was a patch for cifs, i used it cause it was known to work..but if slow-work module is not working, then ill compile one from my source and try it in the next release, could just be something with that particular module..appreciate the feedback
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
I find that test 15 won't play nice with setcpu compares to test 13......

On test 13 i could uv and still use set cpu to set clock speeds when the screen was off, however on test 15 it wouldn't work and would cause sleep death

Any ideas existz? Otherwise great kernal so far :)

Swyped from gingerbread powered captivate
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
I have a question do we need to click and allow the tweak in superuser for it to activate or its activate by default out of the box? even you dont click on the tweak app and allow it. Im using the talon 1.7 jvh test 15 bigmem seems to be great on me oc to 1200 very smooth no lag still on rfs havent touch the tweak option thats why im asking seems its so smooth that i dont want to convert to ext4 scared maybe it will mess the smoothness of it xD
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Everything has been running great on test15 bigmem for the last 2 days. The only issue I have encountered is the music skipping one.
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
Since CIFS is supported from the kernel, SP, Onix, ..... or even speedmod.....

(they are for Froyo)

You DON't need insmod to insert modules (slow-work, cifs.ko) Anymore !

You don't know that ?

Why you still use insmod with CIFS enabled in kernel ? :eek:

However, if CIFS is disabled from kernel but you want to use CIFS after bootup,

you will need insmod to insert the modules manually.

But your slow-work.ko seems not supported in 2.3.x
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
I don't think you can set setcpu for this kernel.

SETCPU is only for stock or non-OC kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
No...that wouldn't make any sense. How would you set your CPU up on a non-oc kernel? LOL. You can *only* use setCPU with OC kernels, including this one.

I'm using setCPU with this kernel, works great.
[Captivate Android Development] eliminat:
existz has stated many times that SetCPU should not be used with his kernels as they can cause problems. He recommends using Voltage Control for OC/UV.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Yeah, but, he did say set cpu was ok with this kernel a few pages back. That was, I think, due to the fact that vc doesn't work very well with gb.

However, there is an alternate. I have created Control Freak, which is based on vc, but uses a different background task management so that it will work properly with gingerbread. It has oc/uv, the ability to enable/disable individual states, time in state readout, and governor switching. It does not have the ability to set profiles, yet, but I am working on adding that.

[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
setcpu used with voltage control worked inconjunction for me on test 13 kernal

it did work for me on test 13

however, it didn't work on test 15

when I used the exact same settings I used for test 13 I would sleep death if I locked/turned off my screen for over 3 mins

any ideas why?

I was uv'ed on -75 for all states execpt for 1.2 which was on -50

I set my scheduler on noop

setcpu was on 400mhz conservative on screen off

and thats pretty much it

other than disabling some tweaks in the tweaks app to stop the lag that kept happening on continuum

lag fix is activated
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Hmm, you said you had conservative governor selected? I don't know if that would cause sleep deaths, but I DO know that running conservative governor with talon has ALWAYS caused massive lag for me, and existz does recommend interactive or ondemand governor.

[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Agreed; Dont use conservative. Slows the phone to a crawl.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
only conservative for screen off

when my screen is on I set to ondemand or interactive

as above ^

I'll try setcpu again.....on a different setting

cheers
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
If you set screen off profile on powersave it keeps cpu pegged @100 mhz
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
existz - any initial thoughts on the recently dropped JVO? Looks like some folks have experimented with xcal's JVH kernel and it seems to work with JVO, so not sure if you have had a chance to start looking into the minor tweaks that would be needed on Talon JVH for JVO?
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I tried mounting 2 different shares, neither have spaces in the paths. CIFS still isn't working for me.

I haven't had any sleep death issues with SetCPU and test 15 (or any version of Talon for that matter).

Switching the govener to ondemand or conservative solves the issue for me.

SetCPU can be used with any available Captivate or I9000 kernel, but will encounter problems if certain states are disabled as could be done with Suckerpunch/Onix (fixed by using a 'custom frequencies' text file).

Only applies to Suckerpunch/Onix because of state selection. SetCPU is used for more than oc/uv.

My phone doesn't experience any noticeable slowdowns using conservative or ondemand (feels virtually the same with both). However, I get instances of lag (ie. during music playback) with the interactive governer.

I was using the same screen off profile you described with no issues, except for some lag waking the phone, which is why I stopped using it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Bump.......
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I decided to experiment with Talon 0.1.17 Test 15, since there were some lingering issues with multitasking lag and memory management under the publically released Test 11 version. Since I am not on the IRC, I'd like to happily report here that the issues have disappeared unger the new build.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Much appreciated, I got some things going on in real life so it might be a few more days before I get a release out .. but I will get 0.1.7 out as soon as I can for those of you who are not using the latest test version
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
Well, for those non-oc or stock kernel,

setcpu tune the system to run in different clock speed.

In those oc kernel, they use different mechanism to deal with clock speed and working voltage.

"setcpu way" may still work in oc kernels, since the system core code are still there,

however just "setcpu way" may conflict to another oc mechanism.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
Take your time man, real life is way more important than XDA. We can wait, to heck with our flashing addictions! lol

Fwiw, I continue to have great performance on Test 15, I had one waking death, but I was using multiple tabs on Dolphin while at it, including flash so I think it was Dolphin not the ROM/Kernel. (Meaning that the screen went to sleep and would not wake) Thanks for all the hard work! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ChrisJ951:
Any idea how to fix this: my bottom buttons (home, menu, back and search) constantly stay lit up when the phone is on, instead of switching off when unused for awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Depending on your ROM, sounds like you have "keep the lights on" enabled.

Long press on your homescreen, and choose widgets. You should see one called "Keep the lights on". If so, add it to your homescreen, tap it (to disable it), then you can delete the widget again.
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Keep in mind if you do this the buttons will not light up when the screen is touched.
[Captivate Android Development] Opteronvoz:
OK,

I flashed stock 2.3.3

I flash hacked kernel to obtain CWM

I flashed an i9000 then home fix then TalonDev 1.7

Everything is smooth, wonderful now, home button works and no strange lag!

But I cannot do go thro' Quadrant IO test, it just stucks there :(

other Quadrant tests ran well. CPU scored ridiculously low, about equivalent to Droid X 2.2 in quadrant comparison table, the rests scored normally.

Linpack gave me 4Mflops with Inaccurate precision, I don't mind as it's so smooth.

But one important thing: my horoscope and tarot [from horoscope.com] is now forced close :((

Any suggestion?

[Captivate Android Development] remroux:
Flashed Continuum 5.4.1, it came with 0.1.7 test 11. Didn't like it (lag mostly), flashed Xcal's kernel and lag was gone.

I got the chance to try test 15... And it's truly great! Smoothest kernel I've tried so far, I'm not really into overclocking so can't comment on that, however I've been undervolting -100 on all frequencies for the last 24 hours, and everything has been running perfectly fine!

Smooth, no bugs encountered, and good battery life! Thank you Existz !
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
In existz previous Onix kernel thread, he has the link of ALL his files.

Even he didn't quote his link here, you still can find it.

Back to internet usage 101, when you mouseover the link, you can see link there.

Anyway to flash these 2.3 kernels without Odin 1.7? Can the tar files be flashed through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] rlorange:
It

No. If odin is not your thing then use sgs kernel flasher from the market... but if you don't already know this you prob shouldn't be flashing!... no offence intended

**Simply Honey3.5, GTO beta6 kernel 1.3ghz, BUJV9 modem**
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
FYI the only supported method for flashing any Talon kernel is Odin, unless Existz changed his mind again.

SGS Kernel Flasher

Doh! Someone beat me to the punch. SGS Kernel Flasher....
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Two people have said to use SGS Kernal Flasher and your saying Talon Kernel is Odin only.....which one is it?

Does the Kernal flasher work with .tar?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Yes sgs kernel flasher will work with a .tar, odin is a "cleaner" flash. the app has more potential for a bad write and cause issues. That's why existz recommends using odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I posted this in the Continuum thread, but it needs to be reported here too.

I flashed C5.5 last night, with the Talon Dev kernel test15. I was coming from Onix 2.0.1 with lagfix, and took the OP at its word - 'no need to disable lagfix'. I followed instructions, flashed, added my apps, cleared caches, rebooted, removed many of the performance tweaks, etc. Then tested.

It was poor. A bit laggy. Bad wifi reception. Bad GPS reception. I switched to the JQ1 modem and checked again. Same thing. I decided C5.5 just wasn't going to work with my phone. But I thought - let's see what happens if I convert to RFS.

Bang. My wifi signal almost doubled, instantly. And now I was getting good GPS, which locked on my position quickly, and accurately (inside my house). I haven't played with it much to check out the lag.

I guess I don't know enough about these things, because I would have said there is no way that the file system could have affected signal strength. Is there any "incompatibility" between the Onix EXT4 and Talon that would explain this? Or did the system/data "rewrite" correct some problem?
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
hmm strange

keep us posted on how things go
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
@existz

I don't know if its your newest kernel or 5.5 but its incredibly smooth. Great job!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Theres already a JVH/JVO kernel out there... i havent released it in this thread yet, but there are test versions out there (continuum)
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Well said. I would only add that the op should be read by anyone wanting to flash existz talon kernel.

Seriously, it only takes like 12 seconds to flash talon with odin.
[Captivate Android Development] starche_old:
Thanks :-) I've already got your 0.1.6 JVH. Works hell awesome on Ficeto JVH, gives me 2900+ in Quadrant.

Thanks a lot, man :-)
[Captivate Android Development] rlorange:
Exitz recommends only use odin for good reason. My point was actually that for someone to be asking they haven't read enough, even in this thread alone, to be flashing anything!

And even if SGS kernel flasher fails which it never has for me btw, you can just use odin to reflash anyways. So what's the point in stressing about it?

Actually the most times a kernel flash has failed for me is with odin using extended power menu to get into recovery mode.

**Simply Honey3.5, GTO beta7 kernel 1.3ghz, BUJV9 modem**
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
My experiences are the same, but I think the point is that with Odin you can mess it up and retry until it works. With SGS kernel flasher you get one chance. No retry.
[Captivate Android Development] rlorange:
No retry with sgs kernel flasher, but you can still go back to odin if it fails.

Actually these days I just extract the zimage from an oidin tar and then transplant it into an existing cwm.zip file. Instinctively sgskernel flasher seems risky agreed.

**Simply Honey3.5, GTO beta7 kernel 1.3ghz, BUJV9 modem**
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
Ummmmm, no. Sorry, but if you're going to be a **** like that, make sure you know what you're talking about first.

When we say a kernel has support for cifs, we mean that it's built as a kernel module... at least that's true for onix and talon... I assume it's true for all the other kernels as well... theoretically they COULD be building cifs statically into the kernel, but that would be really stupid, as it would mean it would be consuming memory even for people who aren't using it...

so yeah, it's still a kernel module, as it always has been, so you do have to insmod/modprobe it (unless your app does it for you, like cifsmanager).
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
Just see the 0.1.7-T17 got BLN support,

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
If the interactive governor only uses the highest and lowest states selected, is there any reason to keep the states in between selected in Voltage Control? I performed a short test, with only 100 &1200 selected, and overall speed seemed to increase, but I'm afraid to leave it that way without verifying its ok to do so.
