ok guys, just a few more min then I'm uploading nightly#3 (i know im doing it during the day XD)

Changes

------------------------

Switch to SLUB Memory Allocator

Minor Build Opts

Dropping Stochastic Fair Blue Scheduler from feature list for now

------------------------

let me know if you guys see any sluggish performance =]

edit:Kernel Nightly #3 up =D
[Vibrant Android Development] bbm21:
Just flashed update, no noticeable differences at the moment benchmarks higher than nightly1 ill try playing star fox on n64oid later then report( that game can get really laggy)
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
Do you prefer smartass or scary ecotox
[Vibrant Android Development] :
i tend to use scary for battery cuz im often not at home. Either one will be fine =] if you want higher benchs use scary
[Vibrant Android Development] Jinxi:
So. I finally got around to flashing this.

Eco you smart SOB this is flippin awesome.

Not only is it blazing fast, you (i guess) managed to stick the modem in that gives me 2 bars in my concrete basement. I've played around with modems with little luck recently so this is prefect.

Super fast downloads, snappy, and filled with your kernel goodness to boot. Good work!

Excited to see what improvements will be made. My only thing so far was my gmail would not sync for awhile but w/e probably something I did or before I rebooted the 2nd time
[Vibrant Android Development] lorendroll:
Thank you for your work. kernel is great. I wanted to know does your rom framework have ru locale?
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
You have made any dev feel like a noob with this kernel. Standby on scary drops one percent every four hours. And thats prob cause I turn the screen on. Haven't tested games yet. Roboto takes alot so lets see.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
wow 0.0...umm...idk about that =P but thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
I'm on this right now...My phones dead and my USB port is ****ed up. FML. There's also a custom boot animation.
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
For some reason this always freezes up and I have to pull my battery and restart. Wat should I do? On bionix nextgen v2
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
I'm on bionix next gen2 as well and have no probs.
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
Really then I wonder what's wrong maybe it's just my phone.. I love eco's kernels so i really want this i've tried flashing it twice
[Vibrant Android Development] :
what frequency do you have it set to??
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
1300 with smartass
[Vibrant Android Development] lorendroll:
1300 freezes my device with default voltage. Its ok with 1375mv.
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
How do u change the voltage so that it doesn't freeze
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I think you can use tegrak overclock
[Vibrant Android Development] :
BFQ support now added =3
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
Does your kernel includes voodoo recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yes it does =)
[Vibrant Android Development] bbm21:
Quadrant is not that important I think this one is faster for sure than bullet the higher quagrant cue b because of io stuff I have quadrant advanced and this scorses better of processer and graphics test ecotox said they implemented ext4 differently it could be that the way bullet implements causes a higher io score but I don't think that translates directly into proformence

Also this doesn't have any ram stuff so it scores low on that
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Increased the ram to 321mb and added BFQ, that increased quardrant for you guys by another 100 points with an average of ~2000 @ 1.4

does anyone use any other scheduler besides deadline, cfq, and bfq?

I would like to remove noop and as
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
WOOT... thank you for all your work :D

Don't think so... is there really any need??
[Vibrant Android Development] :
no there isnt =P but I wanted to make sure so as not to screw anyone over

btw ram now increased again to 325mb....thats a good number I think and thats what I'm stickin with
[Vibrant Android Development] :
enabled CIFS/NFS support.....had to enable optimizations for size though
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
Do u think u could send me a slightly higher voltage on ssj5 to see if that solves the game problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] a4 moda:
O > M G > >

1.5 gHz is soo fast, I damn near Shat* Myself.

You are brilliant!

Thank you for this.

JUst FYI- the DOW Kernel issue isn't a myth. Me and 8-10 others had a really long post about it where it fried *(yes literally FRIED) the internal SD. Mountpoints and partitions were all F*K'd.

No amount of ADB/Odin/Flash/debugging could save it.

Most -myself included- had to send our phones to Samsung and pay for service to replace and internal SD card; parts + Labor.

BTW- Morfic *(I like to call him Morific) - was very helpful about it. He enlisted the help of one of his co-Devs to brick his phone and came up with a fullproof procedure for un'bking it.

However, his problem was different from ours, and ultimately did not help in our situation. My PSA public service announcement post was deleted entirely because the Mods said that we "flashed at our own risk." Even though I just wanted the issue out there for people to know so that they could decide for themselves whether or not i was worth the risk.

Either way- I'm grateful for the support and innovation this community has provided and continues to do so.

Keep up the good work. I'll be looking forward to newer and better proejcts from you. I'm very excited.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thats @ 1500mv i sent you....I could go Higher but honestly your pushing your luck at that point
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Well I hope to not have this issue with anyone.....has anyone heard about this happening with BULLET? I'm only going so high and trying to keep the voltages within safe operating limits. If you cant run at the volts I set, sorry but that sucks, I dont want your phone to get nuked even if it is a choice you make on your own.

although I will say, I cant recommend enough getting insurance on your device. I lost 1 vibrant already and the warranty/insurance was a life saver. If your going to mess with your phone, get insurance. I know rooting,etc. voids your warranty, but how can they prove what you did unless you tell them? =P
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
You sent it?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
the one i sent before =P
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
Havnt got any thing sorry
[Vibrant Android Development] :
i didnt send anything else....the one i sent yesterday/last night XD
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
I think you sent it to someome else.. Wasnt me lol
[Vibrant Android Development] FATEOWNZYOU:
And what kind of scores are you guys geting on antutu bench?
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
I'm getting with pretty good consistency 1930-1935 with SSJ2 @1000 using Bionix NextGen
[Vibrant Android Development] :
ok....sorry, maybe I'm mixing you up with someone else but i dont think voltage is your problem honestly, and I have the kernel just about at the limit of voltages I'm willing to use...
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
I'll try that out and see what happens with my phone
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
Try using no frills cpu control from the market, super light and works great.

[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
Ecotox on your last kernel before the nightly you said that 1200 hrtz was the same as 1000. Is that the same with nightly 3.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Yup, no volt changes
[Vibrant Android Development] Jinxi:
So I'm having a couple issues with the navigation app. It tends to lock up periodically forcing battery pull and when I exit navigation it automatically rebooted my phone lol

Edit: actually it probably had more to do with being clocked at 1300 then the app itself. Going to platt sound at 1200 and see if that's better
[Vibrant Android Development] :
wow....never had that happen to me =/ I think I'm gonna raise the 1300mhz voltage a bit for next release to see if that helps people...also might add back a 1400mhz option too =3

Also I recommend to see if tegrak's app works for you so you can adjust voltages as I cannot get voltage control working due to my extra frequencies. I dont think the free version does it though =/ OTher then that I will adjust the voltages and see how that helps people. I might have to go back to having a ULP kernel and a normal kernel that works more universally/ for more people
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
Tegrak didn't work I got the same freeze up I had last time. Anything else I can do?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
See if 1.2 works for now till I adjust voltage =) we'll get ya working
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
Alryt ill see wat happens... Thanks and I hope we can

Edit: okay just switched it to 1200 let's see wat happens?
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
Went back to the old kernel. The new one, the freq will stick on my widget at 500 hrtz and the battery is not doing so well. And I'm at 1000 hrtz.

Edit: also the battery won't charge all the way.

sent from the dark side of the moon
[Vibrant Android Development] dan0zone:
Something is definitely wrong with the last 2 kernels .... Had to also go back to the old version cause of battery drain ... What I did notice is that once charged the battery voltage usually 100%@4242 when full, will start running down to the point where @92% voltage is @3869.... I'm back to the old kernel now, and battery is @20% and voltage is@3661...
[Vibrant Android Development] lazyb421:
The new kernel has been working wonderfully for me. When I first set the scary governor it wanted to stay at max freq. Turning the screen off and back on fixed it though. When I'm using the phone it's blazing fast, and with the screen off it seems to stay at 100 almost all the time. Absolutely no problems overclocking to 1300 either. Great balance of speed and battery. Excellent work friend.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I'm going through the samsung BT stack, i havent gone through every file but all the references to bitpool I can find so far are set the the same as the CM values, and as far as I can tell bitpool max is set to 64 =/.....I'll keep looking but thats just an update

edit: also looked in the kernel and am coming up with nothing =/ gonna keep looking......

edit2: looking into the possibility of porting the CM BT stack =3
[Vibrant Android Development] Mattymat:
Thanks a million man. You're too good to us.
[Vibrant Android Development] Theonlyblackju:
ECO, also having issues with kernel #3. According to cpuspy it isn't staying in deep sleep. For whatever reason, after browsing the web or youtube [maybe other things] it won't sleep whatsoever. Cpuspy actually reports it as a negative number and usually 100/200 mhz are the freq. it's stayed at the longest. I cleared the ram and it worked for a while and went right back to not sleeping. I rebooted the phone and all was well.

I had to go back to nightly #1 and it sleeps just fine. I generally keep it at 100/1200 on scary.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jinxi:
Tried playing some games (not plugged in) and seemed to heat up pretty good despite being at 100-1000. Think temp got up to 125F pretty quickly.

does governor matter in this situation? Was on scary. Probably going to flash one of the older ulp kernels in the meantime
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Have you checked for programs keeping it from sleeping? Any other factors that may prevent sleep? Sleep is working for me, my phones in sleep 85% if the time lately =3 make sure setcpu isn't running and that there aren't any widgets or anything that may be causing problems. Kernel nighty 1,2,&3 don't have anything different in regards to clock settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Governor shouldn't matter, scary is just conservative with screen off profile. Also did the phone feel that hot? or was it just reporting that? Also any other info you can give me? The new kernel actually has a lower internal voltage vs the old ulp and the same voltages at 1GHz and lower.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jinxi:
Yeah it felt really hot which made me go hunting for an exact temperature since I want sure if I was just out of practice knowing what is "warm"and normal versus "hot oh god turn it off" lol
[Vibrant Android Development] :
OK guys, bit of news

1. For those waiting for the emulator framework, it has been changed to an app I am calling EmuZone, which I am currently working on. I decided to do this because I want it to be usable by as many people as possible and making it an app will allow for that.

2. Looking into porting the Cm7 Bluez to try and fix bitpool and some other BT issues.

3. Working on a rework of the SLOB memory allocator changing it to a best fit algorithm so as to improve its efficiency. SLOB is an allocator which is better suited for embedded devices but it suffers drawbacks such as fragmentation which i want ot see if i can fix.

4. I have fallen on yet another rough spot financially (this one i may not be able to work my way out of) I will be getting these things done as quickly as i can while also trying to solve my own personal issues.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT =]
[Vibrant Android Development] :
quick question guys....how many of you even actually use my "ROM" ???? If its not being used I can eliminate something that takes up some of my time to clear up kernel/app time =3
[Vibrant Android Development] Evil Avnovice:
Have you considered creating a separate thread for your rom?

I was aware of the kernel, but if it wasn't for word-of-mouth from some of the posters in this thread, I never would have known about the rom. And even then, there's no description about it's features in the OP, other than a link to the changelog.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mattymat:
I share his feelings completely. Creating a description and maybe a separate thread is probably the best idea.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Ok, will do guys =) thanks for the info. Wasnt aware that people had no idea it existed xD I'll work on the separate thread then and see how it goes ^^.

edit: ROM thread now up =]

[Vibrant Android Development] Evil Avnovice:
You should be good. That way, people now know that you have a rom they can try out, with a thread all its own.

And talk about either the rom or the kernel can go in the appropriate threads (and most likely help you cut down on unnecessary clutter and headaches). :)
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
You should get yourself a "Recognized Developer" thing under your name ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] :
lol, nah, I dont think I'm good enough for that yet. I'd have to recognize myself as being a Dev first, which I dont yet =P
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Does kernel have voodoo kernel my screen is bad looking compared to my other vibe on cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yes, it has all the voodoo bits in it (check out the change log and it can answer questions =3)
[Vibrant Android Development] duboi97:
You deserve one IMO. Your ROM and Kernel are amazing! I'm just waiting for the emulator and I'm set for school. You honestly should get one your kernel is so rawwwwwwww!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
yeah, sorry the emulator is taking so long =/ I'm learning java as I make it so its 1/2 guess work and 1/2 knowing XP I need to get a java book really badly
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Is there way up adjust colors cuz my screen looks gray on everything
[Vibrant Android Development] :
umm....it shouldnt???? that sounds like a problem thats unique to you because i havent seen that on mine and no one else has reported it? =/ any other info you can give me?

bootloader,etc.?

quick update guys

due to so dumb circumstances, I can't afford to pay my Comcast or tmobile bills, so I have no internet [currently @ Starbucks to type this] I have no laptop so I can't work on it where I am now [don't think they would appreciate me bringing my rig here xD] so my activities are postponed till I have internet back :-(......sorry guys

Can you use this on a 2.2.1 rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] corpsetomb:
Yes it should work on all froyo roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Hey Ecotox I was wondering if there is anyway you can implement the ability to enable voodoo color with the ability to change the color levels in voodoo control app? Simone just enabled voodoo color settings in his Talon JVR GB kernel port so I know it can be done. Why aren't there any Froyo 2.2 kernels that have voodoo color settings enabled like CM7 and Simone's kernel? Is it a limitation of the build or kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] oHOKAGEx:
Eco will not be on for awhile if you read his other post so he won't respond for awhile or do anything new for the ROM/Kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
Hey everyone lets donate so he can pay that ****

so quick update

I apologize for delays on kernel and rom updates. As you guys know I've been in a very bad spot with $ lately. I'm workin on stuff still just I only have a few hours here and there right now trying to get all this sorted out. Also I will not be working on the Hercules for anyone who was hoping I would (unless someone donates one) I had to switch to sprint because I cannot pay the 700$ i owe for my Tmobile bill (3 months behind [will get it paid eventually =/]) So now I have sprint and a nexus S =[ (which btw.....sprint has WAY slow data and it sucks T.T) I will finish updates as i can. Also I will not be workin on th NS4G for those that may ask...I MIGHT post my personal kernel for it, but updates will be unlikely/few and far between. The Vibrant is still my pride and joy and will continue to be =)

ok guys, workin on the kernel and rom again this week (i got some time to do it =]) I got someone else that is/may be joining the team to help out (I'll let them announce who they are if they want to) I'm also looking for someone to do themeing. No need to be some super android dev or something, we can work things around our schedules and skill sets to get things going. My time has been less then I'd like lately and having more help could really make things progress better. If you are interested in joining the team please PM me =] I'm looking for people to work on all the diff Galaxy S devices.

Edit: Experience in linux, programming, image editing, etc. is a plus but not needed, only thing required is willingness to learn, some image editor experience, and at least a some computer knowledge

[Vibrant Android Development] :
2.2 ROM is being discontinued, switching to IcS work. 2.2 kernel will get one more major update then it will go into maintenance phase. there are plenty of 2.2 roms out there so I feel mine isn't needed. Kernel on the other hand will bring much needed performance, feature, and security enhancements from 2.3
[Vibrant Android Development] Mattymat:
Hey Josh,

Long time, no talk my friend. When you say ICS work....are you referring to some vibrant ICS love or another phone?

It would be interesting to see if you can help bring a more stable ICS build into our community. Either way, can't wait to see what your kernel update brings about.

Good seeing you back on boards.
