Well I made a few more tweaks to the kernel. They're mostly behind the scenes, but they should make it feel a little bit more snappy. Installing V6 Supercharger and Adrenaline Shot may help.

A couple thoughts. One thing people are doing is changing read_ahead_kb in the ramdisk for mmcblk0, which on our phones is the internal storage where /data and friends live instead of the sdcard, which is mmcblk1. I bet that changing readahead to 4MB on the internal storage is responsible for some slowdown. Though for some reason, I can't get init.rc to modify readahead for the correct device whether I'm calling it mmcblk1 or 179:0 but init.d scripts like the ones at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807 work as they always have... :confused:

I spent some more time on BLN and couldn't get it to work right. It seems there are a lot of updates in the EH09 kernel source that are new with respect to the other Galaxy S 2.6.35 source trees out there and the touchkey driver is just one example. Calling out SirGatez to do another battery mod ;)

I've been calling it TKSGB. TKS originally stood for ThisKernelSucks, which is what I named a few kernels I did for my own purposes as a joke, though this kernel is pretty damn unpolished and unfinished so it does kinda suck. (Feel free to reply with your own idea of what TKS should stand for.) But I'm not looking to start maintaining a real kernel release here (that's why I didn't start a thread) so it will probably never not suck :o

Changelog:

Added enough CPU governors (interactive, interactiveX) and I/O schedulers (BFQ-v2-r1, V(R), sio) so that there is a decent selection

Switched to TinyRCU

Some behind-the-scenes tweaks, barely scratching the surface of what can be done but oh well

This kernel also has the full Voodoo suite - Voodoo Lagfix and conversion support (imoseyon), Voodoo Sound (ccampos784), Voodoo Color (me) and CIFS built-in (me), OC/UV support to 1.7GHz (me, mostly ported from Glitch) and the wifi driver from the i9000 (djp952).

Like my previous kernel it still needs BLN, battery fix and recovery but then all the major features will be there and we can focus on adding a boatload of tweaks

eh just wandering, is the restart problem allready cure in this 1.1 ?
[Fascinate Android Development] dragon1357:
so anyone has any thoughts or complains on battery life, thats really important to me because I need it to last through at least a full day of constant updating. Thanks in advance!
[Fascinate Android Development] Bawb3:
Are the issues with google maps still present in 1.1?
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
Battery life is mostly going to be dependent on the kernel and your personal settings/use.
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
I for one like the built in mobile ap, that's what I use, please don't get rid of it if you figure out how to.

Thanks for the rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
if you are referring to the hot boots that randomly occur when memory or virtual memory gets low...then no

that is an issue on any rom be it aosp/touchwiz/sense/lg's os/whatever that uses a tsm parts or similar mod system that changes status bar/system/lockscreen settings on phones with lower amounts of memory

on phones with 768mb of ram or more its a non issue really...but we dont have that luxury on this phone :o

we screw around with heap settings and other things, but its just something that has to be accepted if using a rom like this...now different memory settings or autokiller presets certainly help...also it depends on how heavy you are multitasking and what kernel you use

i rarely (if ever) get hotboots, but i dont do a ton of things at once with the phone...just some web browsing and a few games, or listen to music in the car

its much improved, but you still can lock the phone up with different apps (maps will on occasion after continued usage..or nfl mobile has happened to me)

yeah we gave up on that months ago :)
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I am still seeing the wifi-on reboot where any time the wifi was off for a duration, turning it on causes the phone to soft boot after about 30 seconds. Other than that, the reboot issues are greatly reduced with this rom, especially after I loaded the GeeWhiz recovery, flashed 1.0, the 1.1 patch and the GeeWhiz kernel all in one fell swoop. Before that (even with the 1.1 patch), Angry Birds liked to crash my phone and there was probably at least 1 random reboot (sometimes when i wasnt even using it) every 24 hours. Since then, it's just this wi-fi issue so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
can you log the wifi hot boot issue?

ive tried to replicate it and cant atm
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
fwiw, should have out 1.2 tonight (fixes settings bugs with 1.1 amongst other things)
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
Perfect timing! I was just getting ready to download 1.1! I'll wait for 1.2 now.

[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
op updated

11.7: version 1.2

*stay awake fixed (wasnt working properly in 1.1

*removed bookmarks from browser (will work on more than 4 tabs for the next release) (must wipe browser data to actually show up though :/)

*added 2.3.7 fujutweaks (i dont notice any real performance increase but others do..so meh, wont hurt anything)

*fixed force closes in settings sound, display, and manage apps

*added ability to add 5th app (well 4 plus app drawer) to tw4 dock

*5 column instead of 4 column app drawer

*swapped dialer layout for phone, clear, and messaging...not final but it makes more sense to me :o

*someone in irc asked me what i meant by moved dialer layout around, so heres what i mean*
[Fascinate Android Development] kleffman:
Will flash over 1.1 tonight and report any issues, thanks again

How do I fix the insufficent space on device error? Ive wipped caches, cleared data, nothing works. Im trying to download windup knight and I have 1.2g free space on phone

Update: windup knight is 40meg, I can download stuff thats 20meg np (havent found any 30meg games)

Not sure what the deal is
[Fascinate Android Development] thad2b:
Can the files in the /data/dalvik cache folder be deleted without messing anything up?

I have been so happy with Comm rom 2.1 I haven't tried any new roms in a while. This one looks like a good reason to make the jump to GB. Anything I should look out for?
[Fascinate Android Development] dragon1357:
what is a compatible kernel with voodoo and uv capabilities?
[Fascinate Android Development] thad2b:
Yea just loaded it manually
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
Quick question. In the OP it says "*updated blocked ad hosts file." I had been using AdFree Android. Do I still need to use it on this rom? Does it hurt anything to keep updating the ad host file with AdFree on this rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Check op. nitsuj17 links to them. There are good ones. Namely TKS (xda and rootzwiki), Imoseyan (on rootzwiki). These are the two voodoo kernels I am aware of. Imoseyans can't be uv with voltage control but it is oc to 1200 natively and is solid. TKS is too. Don't make me choose. I've used both and they both are good.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
you could keep using adfree, it ll update you when new hosts to be blocked are out

yeah everyones phone plays different with the available kernels...best to try some different setups and find out what ur phone likes :)
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I think it might be memory related as it doesnt happen when wifi is turned on, but like 30 seconds later (after the apps have a chance to start using the wifi...) Does a logcat after the reboot still show you what you need, or do i need to run it before it goes down?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
need it as its happening :o
[Fascinate Android Development] atomD21:
Just two cents on the windup knight issue. I checked it with my wife's phone, which is running ED05, and it says it's not compatible. I think the insufficient space error is because of that.
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
I don't know why you would pay for hotspot thru mobile ap instead of using a free tethering App given you are rooted.. maybe I'm missing something here?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
some people like to do things the official way i suppose
[Fascinate Android Development] wessiide:
I am still getting reboots while using wireless tethering App don't know if its this rom or tks kernel but even if I turn phone on and then turn tethering directly on and nothing else it will still reboot after about a half hour to an hour. Is this a known issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
not that ive heard of...but i personally use pdanet so i havent even tried to use wireless tethering

i havent seen that reported in this thread, the xda counterpart or the mez/showcase thread
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
I use the opengarden Wifi Tethering app on the market. It works fine - was using it last night.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
good info, thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Except opengarden is the same exact thing as android wifi tether but with a theme..lol Google android wifi tether if you ha enter before
[Fascinate Android Development] cj1171:
Having an odd problem, got my Fassy hooked up to the corporate Exchange server that requires a PIN/password. Throughout the day, I've unlocked my phone a few times, and only about half of the time it's requiring the pin and the other half it just has the lockscreen and I can unlock straight in. Any ideas what's going on with that?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
i was just thanking him for letting me know that hes not having issues tethering
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
the lockscreen mods screw with pin/password unlock :o
[Fascinate Android Development] cj1171:
Any suggestion as to what settings will consistently require the pin?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
not really...might have to do some personal experimentation (i dont use pin/password)
[Fascinate Android Development] ljbrenes:
so... what settings would cause the pin to go away? Im very much interested in that!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
i dont knwo specifically...the mods for tsm parts are very expansive....some one could log it and find the method i suppose
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
Using QPST, modded the id so I don't pay. The tethering id is the same as browsing with my phone so Verizon can't tell the difference.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
yeah, and honestly for those that want it out...its a lot of work (if it can even be done) for little reward
[Fascinate Android Development] bschrib:
So you used QPST to mod the tethering ID to match your normal cell data ID...? Does that then mean that you're using the native hot-spot app on your phone and it treats the connection as a non-tether? That sounds pretty awesome. Do you have a guide or any reading materials that you used and can link to?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
originally i planned on making a comrom clone with aosp app counterparts...but i just dont think i can add another rom to my plate atm

instead i think ill post a patch for our modded launcher2 that has greatly evolved since comrom for those that want a *slightly* less touchwiz-zy experience lol
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
Look at my posts, there aren't that many ;-) , you'll find the thread in there with a pretty detailed how to in there. You can PM me if you can't find it.

FWIW, I have tethered this way for several hours at a time with no force closing or issues. Sadly, this is usually a faster way for my to browse the internet than most hotels I stay at, sad that their wifi sucks so bad that is.
[Fascinate Android Development] tannor:
I am coming from superclean 2.9.2 with voodoo kernel, and EB01 radio.

I am a bit confused on how to upgrade have not done this in 6+ months.

Should I disable voodoo first in CWM (not sure what version of CWM I have), Then go back to stock, and then upgrade?

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
I know that but I was just pointing that out incase anyone didn't realize that lol
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Geez superclean? Lol that was a good rom, and no just Odin stock and pit file,flash cwm of ur choice (prolly 3.x) and put this on your sdcard ,boot cwm and flash
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
ah gotcha

....
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
Every so often, my phone (just sitting on my desk in front of me) wakes up by itself. Then after my timeout duration, it just goes back to sleep. Any idea what could be causing this?

And for anyone keeping track. I believe the trouble with the lag that I was having was because I tried the "stable" devbuild 10/27/11 tksgb voodoo kernel. I tried the imo... kernel, and it worked well, and then I just recently flashed the 10/18/11 tksgb kernel. It seems to be performing much better. Very pleased, but we'll see what happens.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

That's what I thought - It's laid out the exact same way, but when I was on CM7, Android Wifi tethering wasn't working (neither was barnacle tethering), so I searched the market, and found the Opengarden one, and it worked. So - I'm not quite sure they're the exact same. I really want to say I tried it on PW and this ROM too, and was having the same issues, but can't be sure, and don't have a device to check it out with right now.

Oh - and thanks for the "thanks". I feel I provide good information a lot of times, and it goes overlooked.

Edit: Yeah - I just tried it out. And "Wireless Tether" doesn't work (won't acquire root), but "Open Garden Wifi Tether" works just fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
seems to be a bug inherent to ei20...happens on stock ei20, gee whiz, and res :(

dont know what causes it, logcats havent really provided anything to work off in the way of fixing it...so its kinda just become a quirk thats there

my only real concern with it was battery life...and it doesnt seem to impact that in any meaningful way
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
I've been running v1.2 as is for about a day. That is to say no additional apps than what comes with it but I did register my Google account. The phone runs about 5-10 degrees warmer than Geewiz 2.1. Is this to be expected?
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
are you running the same kernel as when u ran gee whiz?

overheating (using comradesvens kernels) has never seemed an issue on this for me at all
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
Geewiz kernel 2.1.2 on both. I will give it a few more days to feel out the battery life
[Fascinate Android Development] brettdacosta:
Ok. This is something that's always bothered me, and I'm really hoping that you guys have a fix for it. The camera... First off. It won't start if the battery is low. Second... is there any way to load another camera on it? I just get how the focus works. I know if you hold the shutter button down, it focuses and the when you lift up, it takes. But what's up with the touch to focus and how it works? Thanks in advance, guys. Your help has been awesome so far!
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
you should be able to flash gizmodroid's eh09 fixed camera that eliminiates low battery issue...its probably on page 2 of develpment

I hate to basically gloss over the new work that you put up for everyone, but I've got another question.

Updating apps from the market. I always restore the apk's from titanium or my backup root. But then I can't see them in my market and if there are updates, I never know. Any idea how I may could get around this?

Thanks for the camera fix. It's awesome!
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesjones52:
About to flash this, coming from espresso ROM. My phone keeps shutting down when downloading large files... weird. Anyone have an estimated battery life for this?
[Fascinate Android Development] jamesjones52:
Are you restoring app or app + data? Try just restoring the app. Restoring app+ data (depending on what Android version you were on when you backed it up) can cause funky stuff to happen.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
are they available in your market before using tibu?

some apps just dont show up in the market on ei20...or at least i cant get them too
[Fascinate Android Development] chopper the dog:
You could try. Open titanium, menu/market tools/market doctor.

good day.
[Fascinate Android Development] atomD21:
Any time I run into that issue, wiping the data from the market app works to have them show up.

Unless you are running autokiller or another.memory program...that would ignore the exceptions I'd.imagine
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
Maybe V6 would help, that's one of it's main points to make your launcher "bulletproof". It's definitely good for keeping ram at a manageable level.

New issue just started popping up recently .. after a random reboot that occurs every so often (again still could be tks related) when it turns back on my twz4 launcher is wiped and all my widgets have disappeared. Has happened twice now in 3 days. No biggie but just figured id report it on here.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:

Nitsuj17

Is there anyway to get to applications icon to be in the center on the 5 app doc? I'm working on a ICS theme (port/image kang) and that would make it look better. If its easy I don't mind doing it, I'm trying to learn, if you could just guide me in the right direction.
