Excellent collaboration on this one!! Very responsive and seems to handle memory use very well. My big issue with most gb kernels so far has been lag that seems to develop within a day or two, regardless of filesystem. Ill report back after some time on this. Thanks for a fine piece of code!!

I am OC 1200 with -50 down the whole run of specs and not dis-allowing any freq at all. i am having a bugger of a time finding if it is the OC/UV combo or anything. Not sure on how to find out what is causing any errors, and in no way have i used logcat if that is what it is used for.

i am like private first class noob, lol. i know enough to be dangerous.

would love to figure out what is causing the freeze/softboots happening randomly.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Does cwm 4 flash everything? I have to admit I don't know any thing about it.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
What do you mean everything? It does same as what cwm3 does now...just some updates/fixes

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Cant wait! Bring it on!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
referring to cwm3 not being able to flash cwm2 files. I was hoping it would mean that cwm4 would flash cwm3 and cwm2 files (amend and edify)
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Thanks for the hard work!

Much appreciated :) Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Scared me... I got a black screen for about a minute..... :(

I see you find humor in scaring people huh? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Its the way we have to do custom bootanimation (does not happen with stock bootanim) , when you clear cache/dalvik cache it will show a black screen instead of bootanimation, it just happens on first boot after caches are cleared...next boot will be fine.., the install zip wipes the caches
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I know.. I just forgot.. :rolleyes:

I as anxious to try 0.3.1 considering I have been busy for a while :p

Serendipity + Talon = Happiness

A donation is on its way!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
For those of you who follow Talon on github, or builds from sources, we have finally got our own git server, so we are moving away from github.com.. Once we get everything up and going ill post the new link ..

Question...

I get no haptic feedback on the menu button (far left) on the homescreen or in settings. But when I go to an app, let's say the Market, I get haptic feedback on it.

What do you think?
[Captivate Android Development] DaUnderSheriff:
Tweaks app?

I'm not seeing this app in the latest builds - but I miss it. :) Any ideas where I can find it? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Tweaks, CWM and EXT4 apps from Chainfire were ditched when existz stopped using Chainfire's initramfs.
[Captivate Android Development] DaUnderSheriff:
Thanks for clarifying

Thanks for the clarification. I'm using Dorian's JVP build and it's running very smoothly - but I noticed that with some of the tweaks settings in that app, I had a slightly smoother experience. I don't know enough about kernel development to understand that you're post implies, so I'm going to ask - is there something like this out there that helps to optimize memory?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Wish I could help you more. You could try looking in the i9000 forums for Chainfire's apps
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Everything that was in the tweaks app, besides stagefright is already set in the actual kernel, (..ie no atime, vm tweaks..plus better tuned settings, but some of those tweaks in the tweaks app was disabled by us. Such as swappiness, lmk settings...which is set now by Kodos' LMK tweaks,),for the ext4 app you can use Voodoo Control, it will show lagfix options to enable disable ext4. Or just simply go into recovery->voodoo and enable/disable it there ..

[Captivate Android Development] DaUnderSheriff:
Thank you. I appreciate the detailed response Existz!
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Came across an odd problem, just thought I should mention. I am currently running the 1440 version of 0.3.1 and it is flawless.

The problem is the 1440 Big Mem version. I tried three times to flash it with clockwork and each time on reboot it would hang on initial boot screen, requiring an Odin of the previous kernel. I went ahead and flashed ALL of the 0.3.1 kernel versions and they worked fine. I assume it is something in the CWM scripts, not a big deal as these Last Talon kernels are flat out amazing :D

Thanks for all the work to you existz and everyone else who puts in work, lol.. the list grows. Respect ;)
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
okay, i am getting frustrated. i keep having freeze/softboots very randomly. i need to find a way to pin-point this failure. Or a way to track it and submit it. It happens, 1000GHz UV -25 thru -100 and 1200GHz -25 thru -100. It happens stock OC/UV. I always use Ondemand. I also recall having the craziest digital ring tone during start-up over and over occurring when it finally softboots. The only two ways to kill the ring are to softboot, and yesterday that did not take care of it. I had to throw the phone into silent mode. It is not a ringtone I have heard or know being installed on the phone. Also, this failure has occured before any apps were installed on the phone and after.

i am noob but have some experience under the hood(no scripts writing blah blah blah).

i have done the search deal and come up with tuits that seem to be just above my pay grade. as we well know, one slip of commands and we now own a Cappy paperweight.

Please pm me.

Please flame me.

Please help me.

Please just respond, lol.

thank you very much and Existz, for all that you do.

btw, Cappy build is current in my sig.
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Enjoying this kernel, great work here. I had a question though, I'm using control freak to OC and I can't seem to have save after reboot. Anyone else having this problem? Thank in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Most likely if you pull the notification bar down that will stop it from ringing, if its what I think it is, you can try setting a different ringtone for notification. But honestly, with all the problems your having, a simple flash back to stock and a reinstall should help u, just incase you have a corrupted file system or something...usually when having these weird problems, a good fresh install of everything will fix it .

[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
What version of control freak and what version of Busybox are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Control Freak 0.5b and as for busybox, I'm using 1.18.4
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Try Downloading busybox installer from the market and go ahead and install 1.17.1. I think 1.18 was the version that doesnt run anything in init.d on startup.
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
It stuck when I downgraded busybox, thank you for your help good sir.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
ok. will try the notification pull down trick. lol.

and flash back to stock? you talking froyo stock or GB bootloaders stock? S7 provides a link for a fresh GB stock, followed by a re-orientate 1.1 kernel. i was looking for a way to do a complete wipe flash to stock pack but have not seen one around other than the one on the S7 thread.

i am not giving up on Talon by far. S7 is solid and stable but does not provide the performance i desire. But i am stuck at some crossroads on how to find/figure this issue out so the next person that may experience it i can assist them possibly.

btw, i followed the APEX 7.2 directions to a tee following the S7 GB install kit. theme was placed on that. launcher next. Swype 3.0Beta. SGSII cam. UOT mods with Actual Cappy framework and System files required. Than app installs and syncs, blah blah blah. hoping these are close to the correct steps on installation of this set-up magnitude.

is there a way to log records to possibly catch an error to pinpoint when it happens?

thank you as always for your guidance. i will be PMing you over the w-end to find a way to buy you a dew or beer, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I would start without applying so many MODs. Stock Apex & Talon for a couple of days
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Anyone.....?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I

Keep looking through the dev forum, or look in my sig, there a kf1 stock without bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
I'm glad you got the settings to stick. For anyone else having a similar issue, use stericson's busybox installer found on the market. It works, although I have had an occasional issue with it causing additional problems and having to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
i have tried various steps of installation and running stock rom for a 24hr min is normal for me just to feel the water, so to speak. during the froyo daze( i did come in on the glory daze of that ) i never had softboots of anykind.

with GB i have invest quite a bit of extra time finding what is compatible and what i am looking for, these are the early daze of all GB type developments and am totally understanding to that fact. i am just trying to find ways of tracking these errors as to report the failure to the correct dev and see if it is something we as a united android community can solve or just a samsung screw up and got to deal with it till we can find a cleaner source from samsung.

also, to this. i am looking for a solid way to completly wipe all traces of outside code/trash and have a fresh/clean install. i must be on the GB bootloaders, i can install rom and kernels like nobodys business. but a complete wipe that is similar to the froyo Odin MasterClear wipe, you know? lol.

to finish this side of the quote, i am only "figuring" it may be a kernel issue is because it has happened with APEX/S7/Continuum while Talon was powering them. The most solid/stable kernel i have found thus far is S7 4.1 and feel very unresponsive for my likings. but it was stable without fail on my side for over a week. It has become my fail safe kernel to regain composure. This is only an observation and not in anyway a slam or dis on the Talon team at all. in fact, i feel as though i am the distant hillside cousin nobody sees till family reunions, lol.

so if you are starting to feel me here, which i hope with my rant. please enlighten me to some resources or wealth of knowledge that you may have and assist me in finding a good solid base to run Talon as it is meant to be. i am getting far to jealous of reading all the stability others are having to not think i am missing something somewhere.

will kf1 wipe/format the entire sd to stock conditions like Odin MasterClear did with Froyo?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No, not my package. it only wipes and rewrites the area where the rom will be installed (minus the bootloaders). If you want to clear the internal sd, just go into sd and storage in settings and format it. Just don't forget to back up anything you want to keep (photos, music, etc).
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Another question...

I was making some profiles with SetCPU...

Is there anything wrong or bad that could come from setting the CPU state so low when the screen is off, etc?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
The busybox version shouldn't have any effect on this anymore - since switching to voodoo initram, we're now running init.d with the busybox that's built in to to the kernel initram, rather than external busybox, so it should work no matter what busybox version you have installed in /system/xbin (including none at all).

No idea why voltage settings wouldn't stick though.... are you sure you hit the right button? "save as boot settings"? If you look in /etc/init.d do you see a file called S_volt_scheduler?

EDIT: doh! After posting, I double checked to make sure this was actually true, and it turns out that with all the various versions of voodoo initrams we experimented with in the process of switching from cfroot to voodoo, at one point I had this fixed, but apparently I must have reverted that change at some point.... so yeah, starting with NEXT version of Talon this issue will be fixed ;)
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Oh yes absolutely positive I hit the "Save as boot settings" I had 3 other ppl hit the button for me as well lol.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Thanks for the great kernel. Been using 0.3.1-1400 since it came out with no problems.

The only issue I see is the familiar GB slow leak: after a fresh boot, I have 200MB free (wow!), but that number gradually diminishes over time, until after a couple days I am down to having only about 90MB free after "fast reboot" and Process Monitor Kill-All.

So, bits are still leaking, but I assume it's in Google's/Samsung's code, because it seems to be the same story with all the GB kernels.

[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
Same here. Could be by design for all i know.
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
Lol good to know I wasn't going crazy with it not being able to stick on 1.18.1
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
My settings button has haptic feedback. Try clicking it off haptic, reboot then turning it back on.
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
I've never heard of this issue before (or seen it). Do you have any more specific info about what is actually using the ram? What shows in System Panel for instance?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
How? :rolleyes:

EDIT

: My retarded ass took 3 seconds to find it... My bad.... :cool:

But still not working...
[Captivate Android Development] diminished5th:
What ROM and kernel are you using? For kernel I'm assuming Talon. Are you themed?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Sources will now be published @ http://existz.darkirc.info/git/
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
I must be missing something! I am a beginner and have flashed several ROM's and Kernels they were all "tar" files, I can't get ODIN to recognize the new voodoo zip files for captivate sound kernel. Thanks in advance for the help. Using Odin 1.85, captivate I897UCKF1 2.3.3 gingerbread. If i use an older version I go in a boot loop.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Flash new versions with CWM, make sure to read the whole OP
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
The 0.3.1 versions are CWM flashable, Not Odin. Several things were changed that required voltage settings, cahe, and Dalvik cache be wiped (not doing just one of them would have caused a lot of problems), so eXistZ made them CWM flashable with the scripts to automatically wipe those things before flashing the kernel.

Also, don't be surprised if the first boot after flash takes close to 5 minutes, and the screen going black for awhile is normal.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Serendipity VII, and personally themed. But it was done correctly. If I go back to stock kernel, haptic works.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Haptic works for me, all buttons... on Apex, also works on Continuum

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Should I just redownload and reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
Now I have a worse problem phone only boots to at&t logo and stops, did battery pull, went to recovery and even did a full data wipe, but it didn't work, I had not set up the CWM recovery yet so I don't have that to flash from in recovery. I tried to reflash the Odin 1 click disign gears but no luck either.... just stuck on logo. Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Yeah, worth a try. I would also try it without a theme.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
New users need to read more. Go and reflash to stock.

Okay, doing it now and I'll see.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
If its only getting to ATT screen, reflash, try pulling the zimage from the zip, tar it if you have to and flash with odin

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
So how do I flash without Odin? that is pretty much all I have ever used. I am now stuck in at&t logo, tried wiping data, no luck...tired going back to one click and reflashing from pior post it all went well kernel green, blue complete box no errors but on reboot sticks in at&t logo thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Really.....?

CWM. What most ROMs, Kernels, etc. use now to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
You just go into recovery, select install from zip, go to where u saved kernel on ur phone, then hit flash

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Still breaks haptic on the menu button. Could it be a launcher problem?

Reflashed and tried without a themed ROM, but still the same problem. I get feedback in let's say SetCPU, but not on Go Launcer, and not in settings....
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
Thanks so If I am stuck on at&t then take my micro sd out save file to it on PC then put back in and flash from there!
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
Hey I really appreciate the help! I am still learning this stuff I will do more reading prior to jumping off the cliff next time Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I think you might have to mount your external sd card in CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
crap how can I do that if the phone won't boot
[Captivate Android Development] kitkitfok:
Any news of 0.3.2?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Like i said, extract the zImage from the zip, tar it if you have to (i use Heimdall, dont know if you can flash straight zImage with Odin or not,)..or just simply replace the zImage in another kernels tar..then flash with Odin.. You will atleast be able to get into recovery after that
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I think he can get into recovery, just doesn't know how.

Depends what your bootloaders are, if you are on GB then Power button + Volume up will get you into recovery.

If you are on anything lower, hold both volumes, and power button. After the first cycle of AT&T screen, release power button and hold onto volume buttons and it should get you into recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
You can't flash straight zimage with odin was just trying to put the kernel from continuum 6.1 back on my phone after using snail.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
did that now it is looping from fish to att, crap
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Just go and reflash stock.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
I know how , and have gotten to recovery it only allows me to go to update , I think when I tried to wipe all data earlier from recovery it jacked me up.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
I tried that earlier to to eclair it said "failed" I will try again.
[Captivate Android Development] godpancho:
Hey anyone im running 1440 with low memory, im having problems with control freak not saving voltage settings as boot settings.i apply as boot settings but everytime I reboot it resets it self. Tried with voltage control too but still wont save settings as boot settings. should I reflash the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Use this.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Check what version of busybox you are running, use the busybox installer app from the market, if your on 1.18, then downgrade to 1.17
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
thats a zip file my odin will only recognize tar
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
nevermind speaking before I think!!! Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Yeah, you kind of learn to do it the other way around when you post more and more... ;)

That should do you justice, then from there, either install the GB bootloaders or stay on stock.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
been sitting at : don't turn off target for about 10 minutes, I remember this takes a while but about how long is too long!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Well personally I would pull and try again. But that's just me.

Not responsible for any bricks, but I have done this multiple times, with the worst thing happening is the "Phone <> Caution Sign <> Computer" thing coming up.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
all of this because after I flashed the gingerbread 2.3.3 Kernel I had , had terrible volume on loudspeaker, was trying to load Voodoo kernel to add to voodoo controls I installed to boost the audio levels and this is what happened. Dang It!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Did you flash the GB bootloaders first? :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
just used Odin 1 click I897UCKF1 and then same with designer gears.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Never used the KF1 Odin. But it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
everything was fine but I guess I used the wrong Voodoo kernel and thats where I started having problems, did read enough to know to flash from CWM, Now I do once I get it all back up and running "hopefully"
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Don't take this the wrong way but you seem very new to this.. I would advice to go with a good ROM (like Serendipity VII), stay with that, and take it from there.

It's a great ROM to start with...
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
Hell Ya! thanks iRide113 back to stock!!! now to start all over!! lol.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
No problem. :)
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
Not so much "new" but I don't constantly change kernels etc, once I find something I leave it, I had been running the stock Gingerbread without a root for a while, but the audio was crap so I rooted then, found the Voodoo thread. If you have another idea or a kernel where the audio doesn't suck, I use the hands free alot for confernece calls and the stock froyo is much better than the gingerbread I had! but I still want gingerbread, the only reason I was using Odin is it seamed "simpler" than the zip file, CWM way.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Okay, but if you want to get the most out of your phone, try a custom ROM ;)
[Captivate Android Development] terrymc:
aaahhhhhh got it! I will take your "valued" advice and try Serendipity VII see how it works. Now another newbie question dont' hate!! since I am stock now, how to I initially root to Serendipity, remember I have always used Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Well if you are rooted and don't mind spending a few bucks for the most pain free way to get voodoo buy the voodoo control plus app from the market. This will install the voodoo sound module on to your phone just like a kernel would.

But honestly to get the most performance out of your phone go with a custom rom. I am partial to continuum but it is your choice. From the threads Ive seen they are very detailed in how to install a gb rom.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Here is the thread and here is the website with the instructions.

Mike and Chance are very, very helpful and knowledgeable. Make sure to read the first page completely. It will help you a lot. You will see the kernel updates and all that.
