Ok, so I have noticed an odd issue. I am not sure if it is a rom issue or kernel issue, so I am also posting this in dg's perception thread.

Anyway, the issue is that, occasionaly, maybe every two or three days, I will wake my phone up, and have no clock or unlock controls. I will have my status bar, and the power button will bring up the shutdown menu, but I can't unlock my phone. A reboot always fixes it. I am using the unlock that has a green tab on one side and a yellow tab on the other, I can't remember what it is called. I will try a different unlock screen and see if that clears up the issue, although it may be a few days before I know anything.

Also, I have had the tabs be printed messed up, i.e. pointing up instead of across, but locking the phone again, then waking it back up always fixes that issue.

I am still loving this kernel, and as soon as perception comes in a jvo flavor I will be updating to 0.1.7!!

P.s. if you see in my sig, I am still running 0.1.4, due to lag issues on 0.1.5 and 0.1.6.

Keep up the great work!!

ROM: Perception II beta 3

Kernel: TalonDEV 0.1.4, Voodoo Sound v8, Voodoo Color, CFRoot ext4

Modem: I9000 ugjk4

HW Build Number: 1101

What kernel version are you on?
[Captivate Android Development] aryn.galadar:
Is T19 actually available? I thought the latest public kernel was T17r2?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I love the new tweaking options provided by the lmk.conf, but am needing some explanation of some of the terms. If you'd be kind enough to help me out, I'd really appreciate it. The priorities are my first attempt to try to set up a configuration with a more persistent launcher, but I am not sure if everything is correctly set up yet. I copied over Preset 4 (default) first, and then tweaked some of the priority levels.

##################

# User Defined Preset

## Process Class ADJ settings

#FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ <-- This one I understand

PRESET_0_ADJ_1=0 <-- I assume 0 means don't ever close. Is that right?

#VISIBLE_APP_ADJ <-- What kind of app is visible but not in the foreground?

PRESET_0_ADJ_2=1

#PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ <-- A perceptible (but non visible) app, what is that?

PRESET_0_ADJ_3=2

#HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_ADJ <-- What is a heavy weight app?

PRESET_0_ADJ_4=2

#SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ <-- What is an example of a secondary server?

PRESET_0_ADJ_5=3

#BACKUP_APP_ADJ <-- What is a backup app?

PRESET_0_ADJ_6=3

#HOME_APP_ADJ <-- I know that this is the launcher, why is this so low on the list of options?

PRESET_0_ADJ_7=3

#HIDDEN_APP_MIN <-- When does an app become hidden?

PRESET_0_ADJ_8=6

#EMPTY_APP_ADJ <-- What is an empty app?

PRESET_0_ADJ_9=15 <-- This is the same jump from level 6 to 15, as in preset 4. Why does it jump instead of going from 6 to 7, and what does priority level 15 versus 7 mean?

## Process Class memory thresholds

#FOREGROUND_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_1=2048 <-- I understand these are in 4K pages. How do the thresholds kick in?

#VISIBLE_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_2=3072

#PERCEPTIBLE_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_3=4096

#HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_4=4096

#SECONDARY_SERVER_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_5=6144

#BACKUP_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_6=6144

#HOME_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_7=6144

#HIDDEN_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_8=8192

#EMPTY_APP_MEM

PRESET_0_MEM_9=12288

## Kernel lmk values

## These values define the 6 LMK levels recognized by the kernel driver.

## They should be based on the 9 userspace LMK levels defined above.

PRESET_0_ADJ="0,1,2,4,6,15" <-- What exactly does based on the 9 levels defined above mean? Since I changed some of the settings above, what should I do here? Preset 4 had 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, and 15 for ADJ_1 through ADJ_9 to start with, but this line had only some of those numbers (i.e., 3 and 5 were missing). I am confused about the relationship between the two sets of values, and how to make them compatible.

PRESET_0_MINFREE="2048,3072,4096,6144,8192,12288"

I have tried to do searches to find the answers, but can't seem to come up with any. Since you set the LMK up, I'd love to get guidance regarding how to effectively tweak it to my liking.

UPDATE2

After many problems with wifi and bt, I decided to reflash Continuum 5.5. This is simply to determine if my problems are kernel or rom related, as 5.5 is packaged with T15. It should also rule out a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I was looking to do the exact same thing and ran into the same questions. I pondered checking the values against Xcal's Kernel since its behavior is more to my liking. thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
As said in my sig, 0.17-T17r2. No BLN.

Exactly same problem I have. I posted like 3 posts above yours.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Xcals uses stock JVB settings, ... IMO and, not speaking for kodos96, but i would say he wouldnt recommend jvb settings but to try the nexus s style settings...these are actually google settings, not samsung, and seem to be alot better than jvb
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
PM sent ..let me know if it fixes it for you
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I should have been more clear. i was going to use the JVH settings. Where are the NEXUS S settings? I notice under applications as soon as i switch from LP its no longer resident in memory. This further supports the current theory.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Its a preset in /etc/lmk.conf ...#2 i believe ..just change the preset number and reboot
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
The lmk.conf file has one preset (preset 0) meant for editing by the user, and five other predefined presets 1=JVB, 2=Nexus S, 3=kodos, 4=zram (new), and 5= zram (old). The default preset is 4, but you can choose one of the five predefined ones, or select 0, and edit the values to your liking.

T19 update #2

Hey Existz... feedback #2.

Second day of continuum 5.5 and using T19. I changed the UV values to -25 instead of -50. Went to bed around midnight, reached over at 7:05 about 10 minutes before the alarm is supposed to go off, and yay! It's not SOD'd. Set the phone down to enjoy the last fewminutes of slumber, and woke up at 8:10, the phone deader than a doornail.

Powered it up, battery at 79%.

I'm going to set the UV values back to zero, and see.

All tweaks except a-time disabled, clock set to 1200 max, sio scheduler, I did switch back to RFS for testing purposes.
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
Having a small issue with BLN support. I installed TalonDEV-0.1.7-T17r2-ZRAM-BLN-BIGMEM-JVH on Continuum 5.5 and then grabbed the BLN control Free app from the market. I have replaced the services.jar as well but BLN Control says that I don't have a BLN supported kernel installed. Is there a newer version of the BLN app that I need or is something else wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Did you reboot your phone?
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
I have. No change. I have converted to ext4 though if that makes a difference. About Phone has verified that the kernel is in fact installed and I haven't enabled any tweaks in the Tweak app either. I'm honestly just grabbing here as I have no idea what might or might not effect this.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Not sure...works fine for me..just redowndload t17-r2 and reflash with odin.. then all u have to do is enable it in bln app and copy services.jar
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
Okay, I'll give it a go. Thanks existz
[Captivate Android Development] byrdtulsa:
Can this b flashed from phone...im using apex 6.3
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
That fixed it! Weird because I flashed the kernel with ODIN the exact same way the first time. Oh well, I have BLN now and I'm happy ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
Only .zip packages can be flashed from CWM. The 1.7-T17r2 release is only available as a .tar that must be flashed in ODIN.

Watsaa actually details the installation of this kernel in his updated 1st post. Just follow his instructions there.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Only way eXistZ recommends or supports the Talon kernel being flashed is with Odin. Thats why all the kerrnel downloads are tar files.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
ok, after flashing the latest kernel, BT still required a cache and dalvik wipe to work. Wifi seems to be working so far.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
ExitZ: I changes these two settings to what is listed below on t19. So far its now behaving well> I will keep you posted after some more use.

#VISIBLE_APP_ADJ

PRESET_0_ADJ_2=2

#HOME_APP_ADJ

PRESET_0_ADJ_7=2

EDIT: Spoke too soon :( Handcent to home screen reloaded slowly, as did yahoo, but then they were snappy. I am going to leave it for the next couple of days and keep you posted.

[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
I think I just need to reflash it, what tweaks are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
I have gone back to Xcal's Kernel.

Tried different settings on Talon, and after a day of running it would always get really laggy.

Had it on rfs then tried ext4 with over clocking it still did have lag after a day use. For some reason I don't have this problem with Xcal's Kernel ? But I really wish his had the stagefright, as I hate it taking forever to get to a different location of my videos.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
I had the same experience with BLN that you did, Bavarian. Will reflash and see. I didn't disable lagfix from Continuum's stock kernel first, I wonder if I should?
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Sorry for the late reply man. Im using speed tweak, no a time, scheduler and dirtyness. Its working real well for me. Right now im oc'd to 1.2 and undervolted pretty heavily. As soon as i enable another tweak my phone starts to lag like crazy though. Let me know if it works for you man

[Captivate Android Development] Shammyh:
Latest is actually T20. But I dunno what Existz's policy is on linking to unreleased versions, so I'll leave that up to someone else to figure out...

Keeping up with the folks over on the IRC channel is a good way to stay on top of the latest versions. Also let's you give feedback about possible bugs or problems.
[Captivate Android Development] sstarre:
He prefers not to release them publicly bit if you ask on irc channel you may get a copy

Edit: wasn't fast enough :-)
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
go back to internet usage 101 lesson,

when you mouse over the download link, you will see the link !

And then you will see where he store the files.

I think it is clear enough.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
That's what I've done. I peek over there every few days to see what is new, but I'm not a bleeding edge type of guy (at least at the moment) so I have stuck to the mass release.

Although if I get bored this weekend, and since I should have some time, I might go for a new version and run it through the paces and report back. It is a test version, so I feel we are obligated to actually test it.
[Captivate Android Development] sstarre:
I don't think he minds if we can give some feedback that is meaningful. But some just say "It doesn't work" instead of giving details
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I got the same problem. I think it's ROM related.... Not entirely sure yet. Going to have to do some testing. I posted in the ROM thread though.

@exists

Since the kernel dated may 20th, ive been able to stick with talon. Only concerns are: random reboot on wifi activation though frequency has decreased..sporatic slowdowns which clear up on reboot, intermittent funny buiseness w/bluetooth. Thanks for all your time invested its appreciated. Looking forward to next release.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I have a question about the tweaks. Is it possible to enable all the tweaks, or do some tweaks not work with the others? Cus with the Tweaks app, I have everything checked right now, but I dunno if it's running fine like that or not.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
I would only enable Noatme and the Sdcard tweak, (minfree tweak is disabled so it doesnt work, dont use conservative governor..use the kernel default governor, same for deadline scheduler, dont use it, use kernel default SIO, if you have swappiness tweak enabled it will disable zram, so leave the tweak disabled, the dirtyness tweaks is optional.. )

but for best results just run noatime and sdcard tweak

In the next release it will actually just default to noatime and sdcard tweak being enabled, the rest will be disabled (already default in 0.2.1 Test builds)
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Changed to recommended settings....much better.

Flash banners in youtube are broken.

Hangs on screen swap every now and again.

Flashy kernel thing with XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
What version
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
T20 BIGMEM

Oh...and ads in xda dont work
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
In case I'm blind, there isn't a post on what tweaks should be used, and a more detailed description on what they are right? Because I didn't see anything in the OP, which was why I posted.
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Look up 3 posts
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Are you sure its just not blocking ads?
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Didnt install adblocker. is it part of continuum? Or talon? I dont block ads. Dont want ads, buy the ****.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Just enable noatime (highly recommended) and sdcard tweak, the next release will just default those 2 enabled. Ill eventually do away with the tweaks app..The min free tweak does not work, if you want to change lmk settings, do it in /etc/lmk.conf, just change the preset number (0.2.1-T1 and T2 has new settings and should be left default, so when 0.2.1 is released I recommend leaving it the way it is). I dont recommend using conservative governor or deadline scheduler, use the kernel defaults. The swappiness tweak will disable zram, so I highly recommend leaving it disabled..the dirtyness tweak is optional, but i dont use it. You can look inside /sbin/boot/tweaks.sh to see the script for the tweaks app to see what they do.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea i believe continuum blocks them, thats why banners and ads dont show (99% of the people want them blocked)
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Huh. ok. So far so good on new tweak combo. will report back tomm.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
When you do away with the Tweaks app, please still provide a means to disable the sdcard tweak. Ever since the first tweak app, I have always had to disable that tweak, otherwise I can not restore anything with TiBu.

I do not restire to the external sdcard, everything is restored to internal memory, but if that tweak is enabled, then TiBu just sits spinning its wheels trying to restore, never making any progress. Even on a manual restore of a single app, it just spiins making no progress. Once I disable that tweak (and reboot of course), TiBu restors just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea when I do away with it, it will still be the way it is with the tweak disabled (readahead=512) with the tweak enabled it sets it to 1024. So no worries ..if people want to run a higher value they can use a script for init.d ... also going to make logcat a module so I dont have to make 4 versions.. will just be a simple command in a terminal emulator or adb shell (insmod /lib/modules/logger.ko)..or a script can be used in init.d for those that want to always run it. .. atleast until I get them intergrated into cwm
[Captivate Android Development] rlorange:
Ahhhh thanks man! Been wondering why tibu has been bugging out sometimes restoring stuff....

[Captivate Android Development] rlorange:
Great news Exitz :) thanks for all your hard work.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That was because I asked about it. I meant before I asked about it, I hope I didn't miss a post on which tweaks to use and stuff.

So basically you're saying that due to the SD card tweak, Titanium Backup is screwing up for you? That's weird. It restores fine for me... Although whether the restore data got corrupted which causes certain apps to FC or not is another issue entirely. However I have rarely gotten data corruption.
[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
One thing I noticed with sd tweak enabled is my music skips fairly often during playback. My music is stored on a class 10 SD card. Disabling the tweak stops the skipping.
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Dont know what i did, but pulled the phone off charge this morning and it stayed on 100% for a good long time. a little over 2 hourz still 95%. running cont 5.5 T20.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Calibrated your battery recently?
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Nope
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
I did get some serious lag after ending a call. Launcher pro restarted.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea it should be fixed in 0.2.1-T2, if your on 0.1.7-T20, try replacing the files in lmksettings.zip (its in the same place you got T20..also read the Changelog-README) they replace the lmk settings, so just use the default preset it comes with. Those settings have fixed those issues (atleast for everyone on 0.2.1-T2).. also let's keep most of the test talk in IRC.. starting to get confusing, trying to figure out what everyones running and also those not in irc dont know about the fixes/patches when they are available. .. but the new lmk settings are real good and fix the launcher getting killed and lag after call
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
eXistZ,

Good job on the splash screen, looks great. I am have a small problem with the phone running slower as the days pass.

Day one; the phone ran fast with no issues.

Day two; the phone started running a bit slower, select anything and it took a while for it to open. Other then slow opening apps, I am having no issues.

Day three: the phone started running even slower, select anything and it took 5 to 10 seconds for it to open. Again, other then apps opening very slowly, I am having no issues.

Test 20, out of the box settings.

BLN: working

O/C: 1200, SIO.

UV: 1200 -25, 1000 -50, 800 -75, 400 -100, 200 -100, 100 -75

The phone works great, battery life very good.

If I re-flash the Kernel, replace the BLN files, setup my OC/UV the way I like, I runs great... for a day, then starts slowing down.

I will try replacing the files in lmksettings.zip to see if it helps.

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks eXistz for the great support.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea def try replacing the files in lmksettings.zip to /etc/, they should help with this. Kodos96 has redone the lmk settings completely for 0.2.1 (same settings in lmksettings.zip for 0.1.7-T20) , everyone on 0.2.1-T2 has reported nothing but great results. Also I removed zcache in 0.2.1, it seems to help as well.. Just trying to figure a couple more things out and then ill either put up another public test or a final release. With the new lmk settings and removing zcache, it seems thats solved most of the issues. Still trying to figure out the reason or cause for why BT times out sometimes. For most it works perfectly, but theres still a few that has it time out on them after a few uses...so its hard tracking it down since its fine for most people (im starting to think theres a framework issue either in combination with something in the kernel..but i cant figure out what it is)
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Nevermind. I found the file locations....rebooting now...will report if issue persists
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
/etc

Just like he said.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Will the 0.2.1 version be coming out soon?

Never mind, you answered my question in your last reply. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Yes, exactly. I have not verified but i'm thinking I might have too low of a class SD card. I need to pull out the card, reenable the sdtweak, and see if the problem goes away. But your summary is correct, on my phone with the sdtweal enabled, TiBu just hangs, making no progress, when doing even a single manual restore. Turn off the tweak and it works again.
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
Ha...fixed all issues. flawless transistion from phone to launcher. thanks existz!!!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea should be soon.. basically the only thing left on the list is to figure out why BT is timing out for some.. most, if not all, the other issues have been resolved in 0.2.1..just trying to eliminate any bugs before releasing..but it seems as soon as 1 is fixed, it introduces 2 more
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
running class 2 card, no problem here
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
A framework issue? I use the UOT Kitchen to change the default battery indicator. Could this be the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
When 0.2.1 comes out, will we still need the add the BLN files or will they be included with the new kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Well the services.jar is part of the rom, but if u already added the patched one, you wont have to do it again..if you switch roms and it doesn't have the patched bln services.jar then u will need to copy it over again. But basically we are just waiting on rom devs to incorporate it..until then we just have to copy the patched one over once
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
FYI existz

the LMKsettings zip solved any lag/launcher issues with t20, exactly as you said it would
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Awesome.. appreciate the feedback..seems the new lmk settings fixed most of the lag/apps killed issue.. now to just figure out why bt is timing out for a few people.. once thats resolved and it doesn't introduce any new problems, 0.2.1 should be released shortly.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
YES!
