Well the thing about the gpu oc is, theres quite a few other phones out there running the exact same cpu/gpu (ARMv7/SGX-540), that are clocked at 380-400mhz default... Which its been said Samsung has underclocked the gpu alot (samsung default is 200mhz)...Which this is unchartered waters and a basic max clock is not known yet .. But as for what to set it for each frequency, its probably going to be different clocks with the higher states, for example might be able to do 400mhz on 1200, but 1.4 might only like 280mhz.. or whatever it may be.. which the gpu clock can effect cpu max clock stability... for example 1.4 might be fully stable at 280, but if you push it to 300-350mhz, it can cause instability, even though 1200 can take it at 400mhz.. so its all going to vary from frequency to frequency and from phone to phone ...

But like I mentioned above, fps is still locked at 56, so I doubt there will be any drastic improvements seen with benchmarks or whatever... also remember that its only a 200mhz oc, (if you max it all the way out) if you only set it to 300, thats only 100mhz, so there's only going to be a subtle change...for now anyways until we learn more about it

So you deleted the kernel from berryfix, then from android-files, playing the old cat-mouse game?

A little note about upcoming 0.3.1, ... I will more than likely make it a CWM3 flashable zip this time, but during the flash im making it where it wipes cache and dalvik cache, plus remove any kernel related scripts (Voltage settings, any scripts that sets the scheduler, ramhacks, systemtweaks or screenstate_scaling scripts).. Im doing it this way to ensure everything that would conflict with the new Talon is removed ...should make things a cleaner install and prevent any issues... So first boot after flashing will take longer than normal...so don't freak out.. also if your running a custom bootanimation, it will only show a black screen during boot.. Ill make note of this in the OP when I release it, but wanted to go ahead and spread the word so there's not 100 post from impatient people saying it doesn't boot or is stuck during boot..etc... Again, this will only happen on the first boot after flashing.. Im going to probably get 0.3.1 up tomorrow if everything goes as planned

Did anyone find out yet what causes the wifi bug (that only some of us have experienced) or how to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Actually, for my next release, if I can figure out what is causing the layout issues, i.e. gpu clock status disappearing randomly, I am thinking about adding a "System Info" screen, that will show kernel version, rom version, and system stats such as current cpu speed, current gpu speed, current cpu load, current mem load, etc. But, first I have to fix the layout issue. It is a personal rule of mine, fix what's broken before adding new features. I occasionaly break that rule, like when a particular issue is more annoyance and super difficult to track down, but I try to stick to fixing stuff first, adding stuff later. Also, I have another project going, and I really need to give it some attention, but my next release MAY have the system info screen, as long as I can figure out how to poll the system for those stats.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Just an idea(and my 2¢), but maybe a separate app is needed for gpu and system info. Control Freak is getting really crowded with every thing that does.

Hey is there anyway you would consider adding the notification light mod to this kernel? I know serendipity has it in their kernel and thats the rom I'm running
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
BLN? If so its already included

If its not working for you, extract this file and copy the lights.s5pc110.so to /system/lib/hw/

There was something in 0.2.2 that wouldn't copy the liblights if they were not already there, which its fixed in upcoming release ..

UPDATE

TalonDEV-0.3.1

added sched_autogroup patch

added configurable gpu oc (for future use)

fix BLN not working for some users

introduce non-oc version of talon

independent oc versions (1200/1400/1440)

compile wifi as Os instead of O2

set wlan power on delay back to 80ms

use samsung bootanim when no custom zip found

NOTE

Now CWM flashable!...Zip will wipe cache and dalvik cache during flash, also removes any kernel related scripts (voltage settings, ramhack scripts, scheduler scripts..etc..etc..) so first boot WILL TAKE LONGER THAN NORMAL and if your using custom bootanimation, screen MAY BE BLACK ON FIRST BOOT...

You can control GPU OC with Shane87s app "Control Freak" ...remember its the initial support for GPU OC, so it may/may not fully work, may/may not have bugs, this is expected..its only the initial support for it

[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Wow this was weird. Flashed the new TalonDEV 0.3.1 352MB 1200MHZ CWM3 and my phone locked on the AT&T logo screen. Had to pull battery and jig into download and Odin the prior kernel to get the phone to boot. The weird thing is that I was coming from TalonDEV 0.3.1 T7 Bigmem 1200 which was working perfectly and the last thing I expected was problems. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Probably a bad flash, theres not much difference between T7 and final, atleast not enough to cause it not to boot...but if it wasnt even getting to the Talon logo, then chances are it was a bad flash, reflash it and try again
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Yep, that did it. Booting now. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
This is the main reason i always stuck with Odin/Heimdall versions.. Cezar noted awhile back that with CWM its only flashing to bml6, while odin/heimdall flashes to both blocks (bml6/bml7) so its less likely to have a bad flash..etc... But i wanted to do this version as a zip so it could wipe cache/dalvik cache, plus remove any kernel related scripts that could cause instability/conflicts with Talon..

So if anyone experiences anything like this, just reflash the zip...or extract the zImage and flash with Odin/Heimdall (make sure to wipe cache/dalvik cache and remove any kernel related scripts in /etc/init.d/ (voltage settings, ramhack scripts, scheduler scripts, ..etc..)
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Is this basically t9?
[Captivate Android Development] 2Quik:
Hi existz,

question for you. i notice that Apex 7.2 has Talon 0.3.1 "T8". what version of Talon 0.3.1 is this? T9, T10?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
This is basically a mix between T8 and T9... there were some changes that were included in T9 that i did not include in the final, still want to test them before making them public...also there were some security fixes that were removed in T8, that I added back...so its kind of a mix...IMO this build is the most stable of them all and recommend it..
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Wow! I am impressed. This version is as smooth and performs as well without OC as prior versions OCed to 1200. Did not expect this kind of noticeable improvement. I may run at 1000 most of the time to save battery. Great job as always.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Well, if I do end up adding sys info, it will be a menu option, so it will only take up screen space when you click it, and then go away after you hit back. I may also look into completely revamping the layout, using tabs or something to clear up some clutter, not sure yet. I have tried using tabs before, and had very little luck, so I'm not sure.

[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
Fascinating read. In the past it had always seemed the NT kernel was able to hold up better under heavy load than Linux, but I might have to dedicate a partition to Debian again if this patch has made it to the mainline kernel. It's certainly made a WORLD of difference on my phone. I've always had pretty noticeable lag - on Talon especially but on all kernels really - and it seems to be almost totally gone, finally. A community-made patch fixing what the kernel devs couldn't (or wouldn't) for years. Such is the beauty of open source.

Lol maybe not but I do like playing games and stuff at those settings 100MHz probably is overkill though.

dont think its included. im talking about the capacitive buttons. whenever i get a notification, all 4 buttons light up.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
That is BLN, ... try flashing the new version of Talon that was posted earlier today (0.3.1), the liblight not getting copied issue was fixed in it, then use BLN Control app to enable it... But thats what BLN does, makes the bottem 4 buttons light up when you get a message or whatever..And yes it is included...been using it in Talon ever since BLN was put out for i9k gingerbread... (NOTE- some kernels will enable BLN by default in the kernel source, with Talon its disabled so you need BLN Control App to turn it on)..
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It is included in kernel and works for me

i guess it was never working OR it was disable.

Yea some kernels turn it on by default, only problem with that is if someone wants it disabled, the app will disable it but not stick on reboot, since it was made for it being off my default and just turning it on ..not off.. so I always leave it turned off by default so those users don't have to use it if they don't want, or have to disable it every time they boot.

Existz,

great work. Talon is finally stable enough for my Cappy. Never did figure out what was wrong with it.

Installed APEX with 0.3.1 and i must say, smooooooth and very responsive. Now doing a proper install from the bootloaders up. Cant wait to try out the 0.3.1 1200(stable).

Keep up the great work, it is well noticed.

sidenote - would anyone possibly know of a way to change bootanimation for start-up and shutdown. with sound? i know about pushing bootanimation.zip to system/media and rename sanim.zip, however that is where any knowledge of this falls short. searches comes up with more froyo gossip than dirty diapers.

PM if needed.

tnx to all,

not sure if this has been answered yet, I did look at the posts 0.3.1 onwards, but can't find anything...

if I download and flash the 1400mhz OC version, is it OC to 1400 by default?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
No all kernels are set to 1000 by default.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
No. All of the kernels default at a max cpu of 1000. To oc, grab Control Freak, found in the Captivate themes and apps forum, or get voltage control from the market, and use either one to enable 1400, and set max clock to 1400.

Call me a skeptic, but I'm convinced that in the most extreme super battery claims, half are exaggerating, and the other half are in standby for 90% of it. Some of the claims are a virtual impossibility.

Obviously, things like widgets, brightness, and pushing/syncing are going to make everyone's experience a little different, but I still don't buy some peoples claims.
[Captivate Android Development] pixbuf:
In ControlFreak, if you tap Menu->Apply for now, the frequency and voltage settings will be saved until you next reboot. If you do Menu->Save as boot settings, it rewrites a file, /etc/S_voltage_control (or something) so the phone rereads your voltage settings each time you reboot.

The standard procedure is to try out some settings with "Apply for now" and if they seem stable, then do "Save as boot settings".

Yeah the loading time for the track slowed a bit, but the game was still smooth. I transferred a few apk files over blue tooth and it was normal speed. Battery life looks like it is still great.
