Thiskernel is insane!

Kd1 - modded to hell and back overclocked @ 1.556ghz

Quadrant

Antutu

I think I'm on top of the list with antutu. Curious how someone with black ice does on there.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
I hear ya!!

I am using this kernel on KD1, Tegrak to 1.3, and am getting 2250+ consistently on Quadrant Advanced. Buttery smooooth and snappy. Thanks, drhonk!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I'm Bali 3.0 and I have system and data enabled but not cache. There isn't even a cache option in voodoo. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea the phone can actually OC now to 1600 safely now, ill have to update the OC guide
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Cache should part of default, try reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I rebooted and advanced reboot still only have system and data. Verified in voodoo app and voodoo red recovery.

In voodoo recovery there isn't an option for cache. Not does it list cache anywhere including default.

I checked about phone in settings and my kernel says Bali 3.0. It doesn't say voodoo..don't know if it should?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I cant get it safely but I can get benchmarks to run. Shortly after it freezes. I got AWESOME scores in CF Bench.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Install 3.1 see if that fixes it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea ill have to update my op on the OC guide only 3.1 will allow a higher frequency stable
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Installed 3.1 and still no cache. System/data only. I have rebooted a cpl times..I had EXT4 before. Don't know if that could be it. I never did anything Gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
What rom are you on
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Black Ice Stable
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Were you on kd1 before black ice stable if you were I would odin to kc1 and try it again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I was. I'll flash KC1 and redo when I get home..I read about the "KC1 method". Shoulda done it from the start.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Thank you drhonk !
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Your welcome
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Wow! My phone is flying even without my cache partitioned! Can wait to get it right! :)

You're the Man drhonk!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Let's try this .. go to cwm and wipe cache then reboot, it should rebuild cache partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Ok. Doing it now. I'm mobile brb

I was using WhiteHawk Stock KD1 deodexed, ODINed. From here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063696

Same thing happened to me. First boot, it did the conversion, and I checked in Voodoo and saw that only data and cache were converted.

I ran Quick Boot to attempt to reboot to recovery, and nothing worked. Then I checked TitaniumBackup and it informed me that the phone was no longer rooted!

Tried reflasing 3.1 on again, no difference. Hmmmm

I reboot into recovery the manual way (pull battery, attach cable, hold buttons, etc.) and did the RFS_FORMAT thing. Awaiting the full restore to complete at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Tried it 3 times. I'm still system/data. No cache. Verified through Voodoo app and Voodoo recovery.

FYI my debugging is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
I would get the kc1 and use every file make sure repartition is checked. After it boots root it with super one click using rageinthecage option install krylons clockwork mod final. Then flash black ice again and everything should convert properly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
After doing my the full restore, when it reboot, the voice said it was doing the conversion. I waited, and when it finished booting up, Voodoo said it was in compatibility mode. I went into the options, and the boxes weren't checked for ext4. I checked the two boxes, reboot again, went into red CWM, doublechecked the voodoo options which were now enabled. I used QuickBoot which now worked, which means root is working again.

Reboot again, the voice said it was doing the conversion again. When it rebooted, I checked, and now is says data/system/cache are all in ext4.

Sweet, thanks!! Now if I can only figure out why I can no longer connect the phone to my laptop to use ADB... HMMM

edit: got my ADB working. Great!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I now have EXT4 Voodoo lag fix for system/data/cache.

I flashed the rfs format.zip per OP and it worked.

Thank you guys for your help earlier. I'm assuming I didn't flash rfs the first time around. Been flashing alot lately and sometimes I download and then flash later.

Our community has been very alive lately and I try to keep up...

My Quardrant Benchmark score is 1450 on Black Ice Stable. Is that normal? ROM is running smoooth just thought it would be higher.

GREAT KERNEL!

Thank you for your time and input.

Is it okay to flash Bali 3.0/3.1 into Bionix Frost? I'm still trying to figure out flashing Black Ice onto my phone. If it's okay, I'll do a nandroid backup of it, just in case if **** hits the fan. :(

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Flashing the kernel should be just fine. The only downside is there might be a few features missing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Great, thanks a bunch! :) Now for some more tinkering...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Of course ... This kernel will work with any froyo based rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawgboy1783:
So first of all thanks to everyone involved cause if it weren't for you guys these phones would just be ordinary, I am anxious to flash this kernel but not sure what the mounts should be set to appear as before hand I think it should be like this and correct me if I'm wrong

Unmount

Mount

Mount

Unmount

This is correct before flashing bali 3.1 uv or non uv correct???

Thanks to all!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
That is correct
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawgboy1783:
Cool thanks lenny I will flash in a few minutes I am on the trigger rom v 0.4 and I have tegrak paid version I want to see what this thing can do

Which version did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Young Kim:
Just after I flashed the 3.1 Bali Kernel, not UV
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
My mounts are always different every time after I flash... But no problems.

I'll try it again, I'll keep you posted
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Young Kim:
AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I use CWM it says unknown volume for path, cant mount /cache/recovery/log, or cant open /cache/recovery/log, is there a way to flash the 2.1 bali kernel another way, besides CWM??? PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!:confused: :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Oh .. ignore those /cache error .. just flash Bali .. it should work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:

honk,

I stock kernel works, when i flash bali on kd1 stock rooted i get the issue.. back to stock kernel, it works again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adas1223:
Maybe its just me, but Bali 3.2uv sent my Quad scores back to 1000's.. with lagfix it gets me to 1500's and 1.2oc gets me to 1600's O_o ..flashed back to 3.1uv and turned off lagfix. now im back to 2,000's with no OC.

I also got the CWM skip glitch.. forgot what i did but i was able to get it back to flash 3.1uv ..few :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawgboy1783:
Same issue here quad scores drop from 2k's with 3.1 UV to 1000s on 3.2 UV?????? anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
With the fix file this kernel is working perfectly and my phone seems snappier and more responsive too. Its so nice to have the blink notifications and voodoo power too! Thx drhonk for helping keep development alive on this phone--sir, you ROCK. The sgs4g really is a powerful and nice phone--and mods like this make it shine (with bln... literally lol)!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elry567:
Ok I dont know if im doing anythong wrong but I flashed the kernel and I checked my phone bout 30 minutes later and it had powered off by itself so I turned it back on and a few minutes later it did the dame thing im on kc1 any hep is greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
I'm having my phone calls end up getting routed to the external speaker in back rather than the normal one.

Anyone else seeing this?

Update: The current version of Voodoo Sound Plus (the paid version), when loaded, will route phone calls to the back speaker rather than the normal ear speaker in the front.

Ignore this unless you're running Voodoo Sound with the kernel.

Update - part 2: The free version of Voodoo Sound also will route phone calls through the back speaker as well. When you uninstall either variant of Voodoo Sound and reboot the SGS4G, the phone will return to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anti-up:
Working great here, running stock rom, with this. Thanks so much! battery life seems good so far also
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
So far so good! This made a big difference from the stock kernel. Made scrolling a lot smoother! Thanks a lot drhonk!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alexle0814:
My phone seemed to work a lot smoother but I couldn't download picture messages anymore. Then I odin flashed KD1 back to the stock kernel and I was able to download picture messages again. I don't know if it's just me or my phone is weird but that's the experience I got.

anyone?????
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VolcomPR:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zixx:
This is Amazing finally we are getting to the part where someone is developing more than just basic stuffs now we finally got a Kernel :D!!! hopefully then next step is no more betta CWM and some sweet Roms but i do know that everything comes with time (hopefully that time is soon >,<)

Thanks Man keep up the Great Work, this kernel works flawless for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I just sent an MMS and it works. I'm on a Whitehawkx KD1 Deodexed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
try flashing the kernel again. and then use root explorer or es file explorer copy and paste the liblight file in its designated directory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
Flashed this with no issue checked picture message no issue there either
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
KD5 Rom?? where'd you get that?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badboy68:
yups thanks man, i had to open the file in the file, now i am able to enable it, but wen i run the test, i dont see anything, should the touch buttons be blinking or something?

:o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
the touch button should blink or stay on when you run the test mode in the BLN app.. youtube BLN and you will see a visual of what exactly it does.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
oops mistype i meant kd1 lol sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badboy68:
ok got it working, thanx chadster/drhonk
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Sorry guys ..but since I don't have a test phone to test this kernel .. I really need your confirmation on whether BLN work as is ... or do you still need to apply chadster library to get it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badb4lyfe:
i apply the zip fix(extracted and all), it then allowed for me to enable it, but it didnt work although enabled.... hope that kinda helps.... if theres sumfin u'd want me to do on the fone let me know n i will n give feedback
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I reverted back to the original liblight file and flashed the 1.1 and liblight file is still needed for the bln to work. If you need a tester count me in. I'm willing to work with you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
only my /data switched to ext4, what do i do the correct this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I think that happens only when you're at low battery. Linda hasn't converted for me sometimes when my battery is below 15% or so. Another person on the forum reported that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
i was at i think like 87% when i flashed. any other advice. any fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
Any chance we could get this listed on Kernel Manager?

http://kernels.teamw.in
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Also make sure you have enough space available on your /sdcard partition since voodoo uses /sdcard as tmp directory during conversion. If it doesn't have enough space, then it will stop the conversion process
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
That's just don't make sense, I think you guys been playing with Quadrant glitch. Bali 3.1 and 3.2 are the same kernel. The only difference between the two are voodoo scripts, 3.2 has a fixed rfs formatter.

In theory, the correct quadrant for Galaxy S 4G with lagfix enabled is between 1400 - 1800 depending on your ROM and what MOD you have installed. Without lagfix .. average quad score should be between 800 - 1100
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I score in the 1400's running Black Ice and Bali 3.2 uv. And I have alot of apps installed.

Thank you drhonk!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Dr honk question tho the scores were derived from 3.1 actually not convertung back the data partition to rfs leaving the system rfs cache rfs and data ext4 3.2 converts data back properly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
)

How much is enough?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
My NANDROID backups take up 1.6 gigs, so I'd wager you should have that much space on your card
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I've got over 7 gigs availible so...

Thanks for the great work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
My camcorder function appears to be acting up. Didn't have a problem on an older version of Bali... 2.x I think. But I found that today, when recording in 720p HD, the video would be recording fine, and after a random short amount of time, it would stop and give me an error. Something like "recording failed". PART of the video clip would save, but not up to the time where it failed.

Running on an Odined deodexed KD1 from Whitehawk and accurate batterymod. Bali 3.1 UV, ext4 lagfix on system, data, and cache, and also with an init.d script described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147386

#!system/bin/sh

for k in $(busybox mount | grep -E 'relatime|nodelalloc' | cut -d " " -f3) ; do
sync
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,delalloc $k
done

Going to put in 3.2 UV in a minute and see what happens. If that doesn't affect the camcorder (which it shouldn't... I don't believe the difference between 3.1 and 3.2 should affect it) I'm going to remove the init.d script and reboot and see what happens. If that doesn't help, I'm going to format_RFS and remove the lagfix and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I'm going to re-odin Stock KD1, flash Bali 2.x back on, and see what happens.

Anyone else experience problems with HD camcorder?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
Bali 3.2 UV flashed, no difference. Camcorder still messed up. init.d script removed. Same deal. Going to format rfs and restore from backup and disable lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
I need another person to confirm that this is an issue with the kernel, specifically the ext4 lagfix.

I did an rfs_format, restored my backup, went into the voodoo settings and disabled lagfix. Upon first boot, Linda told me it was converting, but of course, it wasn't since I disabled all the ext4 fixes.

Once booted, I checked the Voodoo app and confirmed that ext4 was disabled. It says that it's running in RFS compatibility mode. I then went into the camcorder, and started recording again.

The issue is gone. To me, this appears to indicate there is a bug in the ext4 lagfix causing the camcorder to not work properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if you are running ext 4 on system it can cause issues with some applicatons
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I'm running Bali 3.2 and ext4 on all partitions, don't have any problems with HD videos. Actually I have quite a few more things running on ext4 partition on SD card, like all caches (browsers, google maps, youtube, etc.), all with no issues. Just yesterday was recording some tennis matches in 720p, no problems whatsoever.

Video clips are going directly to SD fat32 partition anyway (folder DCIM I think?), it absolutely doesn't matter how anything else is mounted.

Try to mount SD card to Windows as flash drive and do complete scandisk with surface check, maybe you have some bad blocks on the card of fat32 filesystem itself is damaged.

EDIT: Just to make it clear: I'm running stock KD1 (so it's odexed), original fugu tweaks, OC'ed to 1.2MHz, Bali 3.2 kernel (no difference to me from 3.1) with complete Voodoo ext4, some minor ext4 mods.

PS: Whoever wants to exercise the idea of moving all caches (like google maps, browser, opera, etc.) to SD ext4 partition (you got to have it created yourself!), let me know. I went into troubles of writing my own script today that does just that - move all possible caches to SD ext4. It WILL NOT make the phone FASTER, but it will unload the internal memory somehow and also will not trash it over time with too many writes. I'd rather trash the cheap external card which I'll probably replace is few months anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
hey question how fast is your phone at 1.2mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I sent the scores already to other thread... but of course I picked some of the best runs :)

On the average Quadrant is between 2050 and 2350, mostly doing around 2250. But as I said before these scores don't really mean s**t.

I'm stock KD1 (applied with Samsung Kies), Bali 3.2 kernel (feels same to me as 3.1), moderately (and reasonably!) overclocked to 1.2MHz with Tegrak, original FUGU tweaks (not the ones from KF builds), plus mounting fixes to ext4 you already know about. Some ext4 moves I made for myself (mostly temporary caches), but it's personal and I don't really want everybody to follow, it's just my own preference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
nice lol smooth have you tried 1.4mhz or better yet overclock to 1.2GHZ :P sorry im trying to tell you edit your post u put mhz not ghz lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Yah, right, Ghz :)

I think 1.2 GHz is the most reasonable overclock to our phones. It does not create problems and provides decent processing boost. Going higher is asking for troubles and often is not really needed. 1.3Ghz may be OK too, but voltage may need to go higher (I'm slightly underclocked at highest frequency just to keep battery/speed in balance) and I don't want that. The phone is freakishly fast already, so few MHz would't do any noticeable difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
There was actually a separate thread created regarding that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147574

As I've posted in that thread, I just record something random for a few seconds in a lower quality then switch it back to 720p HD. It works until the next reboot (or at least it seems like it does).

I haven't tried dsexton702's method on the last post yet.
