You really don't need either the BLN app or Voltage control, etc. to enable BLN or overclocking, as you noticed. I suggested that in the O.P. to cut down on questions about whether or not they were really enabled / working, since it's easy to see in the apps.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
ah, makes sense, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Use your plan minutes? Sheesh! Pretty ballsy of them. How does the quality compare to Skype and such?
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Using Saurum with this kernel, ext4 formatting, seems pretty rock solid and stable, great work!
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
Go Launcher EX... As I said, going back to 7.05 fixes the delay.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I thought so... did you recently update it? I've been using Go Launcher for almost a year and have noticed recently that it has gotten very laggy (under any kernel version). Coincidentally, I just installed Nemus Launcher this morning for comparison, and it's very fast... no lag at all and does most of what I want. May stick with it a while.
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
I was on the phone for about an hour or so and the call was flawless (until the reboot), sounded like I was on a rock solid land line with a corded phone. Ballsy is a weak word for how they are doing this, I pay for crappy service and then when I am on the m'cell I have to use MY internet and use MY minutes unless I pay more for their plan all because THEY have a screwed up tower here. They should pay me to use my phone as I am taking a load off their tower.

7.06 is running just fine for me today although I haven't talked on the phone and I am not having any lag using Go Launcher EX BTW.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Don't know why Go was getting laggy... maybe I needed to clear data or something. In any case I'm liking this Nemus launcher... quick, lightweight and does scroll-able / re-sizable widgets which is my main concern. The app drawer "fade-in" takes some getting used to, but not a big deal.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
switched to 7.06, still am having random reboots. this time i came from pure stock, wiped EVERYTHING, flashed kk4 stock, flashed corn, and it randomly rebooted within five minutes of running. here is my info again:

- ROM you are using (stock kk4)

- Whether or not you are using Thunderbolt or any other "tweaks" (no)

- What you were doing with the phone when it happened (running app, sleeping, charging etc.) (random)

- Scaling governor you are using (default)

- I/O scheduler you are using (default)

- 1200 mhz overclock on? (no)

- 3g or Wifi? (both)

- RFS or Ext4? (rfs)

- Original battery or replacement? (original)

- Any uncommon or specialty background apps / widgets running (none)
[Captivate Android Development] Cor-master:
Personally, Go launcher sucks. Features are awesome, but it runs great initially, and gets laggier and buggier over time. I like adw ex myself
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
No reboots for me tonight on phone call, did drop calls though but I am pretty used to that. Downloaded Nemus launcher and set it up and I have to agree that it is fast and seems to be stable. I turned off "Menu page animation" and what I would consider "fade in:confused:" has gone away! Dropped calls were bad enough for me tonight that my sim is in my old 3g razer atm to finish my calls. I dont know how well this microcell is working.

This Nemus launcher is super responsive and fast, holy sh**!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
New almost-stock Version 7.0A

For those who continue to have reboots or just plain despise Voodoo Color, I have posted a new version 7.0A which is compiled from unmodified Samsung source, with the exception of the addition of Voodoo Sound, BLN, SIO, and SmartassV2. No overclocking, no Voodoo Color, no other tweaks, compiled with plain vanilla 4.4.3 toolchain. You'll lose about 400 Quandrant points, but pretty quick nevertheless. Link on O.P.

P.S. This is not intended to become a separate development branch, so please don't start requesting new features! :D
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
I am really impressed with Nemus launcher. If they had an option to get rid of the stupid text labels under the icons, I would make it my everyday launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
My phone isnt responding to the power button again and I have tried plugging it in but that didnt have any affect.
[Captivate Android Development] tamanaco:
I just gave Nemus a tried, but it had issues refreshing my app drawer. I guess you can call me an app-hoarder. I try keeping the apps and game that I don't use frequently backed up, but once in a while I get the urge to restore some. Well, BLN was one of those that I kept backed up, but restored recently once I noticed BLN support with this Kernerl. I uninstalled it and the responsiveness of Go Launcher EX is better now. I understand what you say about Go Launcher getting laggy. Hopefully the developers will concentrate on performance rather than adding more features. It's becoming too bloated. If I have any other issues I'll give 7.0A a try.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Try the new 7.0A baseline kernel... not as fast as 7.06 but faster than stock.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
no random reboots with 7.0A, thanks again, im loving it =D
[Captivate Android Development] Volvogga:
Forgive the question, but does 7.0A support ext4, or is it RFS only?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Yes, ext4 is supported.
[Captivate Android Development] Volvogga:
Thanks for the reply.

I've been having major stability issues since moving up to 7.06, but have been trying to narrow down if it is the kernel or one of the 3 or 4 applications I have installed just before updating. As of right now, my phone has a habit of becoming unresponsive, the status bar at the top of the screen locks up (clock does not update in time with the rest of the system), and the whole phone will lock to the point of a battery-pull being required or it will just die and restart itself.

-Details-

Rom: Illuminance 3.01

Tweaks: None selected or applied through other means (as far as I know)

Tasks during crashes: Seems to be anything. No pattern noticed.

Governor: SmartassV2

I/O: SIO

1200MHz: Yes

3g/WiFi: mostly on WiFi

Filesystem: EXT4 across the board

Battery: Original battery

Things I have constantly running:

Go Launcher (I have seen the recent discussion that it has issues with keeping itself running lean and quick, but it can't go from a little lag to full on system crashing bad that fast, I don't think...)

LookOut Security

Logitech Harmony

Voodoo Control Plus

BatteryTime Lite

Google Voice

BLN Control

k-9 Email

Beautiful Widgits

System Info Widgit

Dragon Go

News and Weather (Google app stolen from Honeycomb, I think...)

Ultimate To-Do List

Sorry about the long list, but just trying to be through in case something jumps out at anyone.

I'm dropping back to 7.05 to see if that fixes it. Otherwise I'll try 7.0A... failing that I'll try to get it stable enough to back everything up and move on from Illuminance to Saurom or just give up and see what this i9000 thing is all about.

I will post back if 7.05 works better.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
does anyone know a messaging app that will work with bln on stock kk4? id prefer not to download one from the market, just wasnt sure if any of the kk4 roms around here had a mms app that would work with bln. thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Done. I will let you know if I see the same black screen issue.
[Captivate Android Development] blutojones:
No reboots with 7.06

I flashed 7.04 a couple weeks ago, and no matter how many time I reflashed or flipped toggles, I got reboots every two or three minutes. I reverted to 6.03 and everything was working normally.

Yesterday I tried 7.06 and haven't had a single issue. It worked great immediately after flashing, and everything has been stable since.

Great kernel. Thanks for the hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
So touchwiz does not work with BLN? Which sms apps do?
[Captivate Android Development] nedthehead:
I can confirm Go SMS does NOT work with BLN. It's by far my favourite SMS client :/
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
Handcent sms does work with bln and is an amazing sms app! give it a shot.

Hi,

I am getting in call reboots.

I am on saurom kk4, ext4, no tweaks at all.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
which version of the kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] amadhu:
Using 7.05 on saurom kk4 for a week with ext4 and OC. But for a single random shutdown, everything is smooth and quick. Thanks!

Should I upgrade to 7.06 for better stability?
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
Sorry I forgot to mention! 7.06
[Captivate Android Development] bimmernut318:
I feel that 7.06 is more stable for me, give it a shot, you can always go back
[Captivate Android Development] crt60:
I haven't had any issues with 7.06, very fast and pretty stable. The screen isn't as dark with this version either. Great job mtcarey.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Please provide more information as outlined HERE. Also, make sure to check in /system/etc/init.d folder and /system/etc/sysctl.conf file for any scripts / tweaks left over from other ROM / kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
I don't have this problem but I've seen various reports of this on various phone/kernel/rom combos. Some seem to think that cache eating up memory may be causative and have suggested clearing cache for all apps may be a work around to prevent the reboots. In the Market there's an app called Cache Cleaner by JRUMMY16 that will clear all apps cache at once, and can be set to auto clear on a schedule. Those who are having the in call reboots may want to give it a try. Just a thought.
[Captivate Android Development] storm_rider_1:
Just wanted to say, I am using 7.06 with serenity 6.3 final, and I haven't had a single issue. My wife is on 7.05 with serenity 6.3 final, and she hasn't had any problems either. Thanks for your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] Organized_Chaos:
May I ask what this means? It will "vacuum" my databases once a week? What do said databases contain?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
The operating system and many apps store data (contact info, browser history, you name it) in SQLite databases. From the SQLite website:

Frequent inserts, updates, and deletes can cause the database file to become fragmented - where data for a single table or index is scattered around the database file. Running VACUUM ensures that each table and index is largely stored contiguously within the database file. In some cases, VACUUM may also reduce the number of partially filled pages in the database, reducing the size of the database file further.
[Captivate Android Development] herofmm:
I forgot to mention this one. Your kernel solved my hideous speaker problem. For the long time, I thought the speaker problem is the physical one. In deed, when I had speaker problem, pushing the speaker solved the issue. I even considered opening the phone as suggested in the Captivate general forum. It occurs all the time. So I don't put the call on the speaker phone and didn't listen to music from it.

However, after flashing your kernel 7.0.1, that problem never arises. I think it's been 2 weeks now with no issues. Now, I am enjoying full features of my phone, speed, performance and SOUND!!! Thanks a lot~
[Captivate Android Development] Volvogga:
After more than a day on 7.05 after dropping back from 7.06, phone is much more stable. Very interesting that others seem to be having no problem. I wonder if I got a bad flash/download. All the same, I think I'll wait for the next iteration before trying again.

Thanks for your work MtCarey! Getting Voodoo color back and some nice new features like BLN after so long has really breathed new life into my aging phone.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
That's weird... wish I could take credit, but I have no idea what "fixed" your speaker! Maybe something to do with the Voodoo Sound driver.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
7.0a just locked up on me. Wordfeud notification went off so I woke my phone up, dragged the bar down and hit wordfeud. It never went into it and didn't switch to wifi. Awhile later the screen went black and then wouldn't wake up so I pulled the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
When I am browsing the internet or even XDA and reading through the pages, the screen automatically shuts off, if I do not keep touching the screen at certain intervals. Is there a way to fix that? apart from increasing the screen time out value.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
You answered your own question haha.. Now you could always use something like Tasker to set up a rule so that when you have certain apps open that the screenout time is set to some large number (say an hour). However if you use one of the many ROMs with scrollable widgets you also have very quick access to the timeout setting.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Try "KeepScreen" from Market, it allows you to specify particular apps for which to keep it from autoshutoff...
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Thanks for the tip.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
7.0A is :

- Built from unmodified UCKK4 kernel source.

- Added Voodoo sound and BLN.

- Added SmartassV2 scaling governor and SIO i/o scheduler.

I suggest changing the scaling governor and i/o scheduler to the Samsung defaults: Ondemand and Deadline. If the problem persists, turn off BLN and try again. If there is still a problem, then it is most likely not caused by the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
In Voodoo Control Plus I see the "Internal speaker options" choice to "Tune speaker for music" (Get more bass and balanced sound. Reconfigures hardware EQ). I've been using the free VC app until recently when I purchased the paid "Plus" version. I didn't remember this option in the free version. This might be the "fix".
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Try Screebl Pro from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Also the free app "Keep the lights on" in the market
[Captivate Android Development] NiTRoN69:
Keep the lights on was mainly for backlights of the soft keys.. (Menu/Home/Back/Search)

[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
I have been running 7.05 and 7.06 on Sparko ROM for almost a week and have been very happy so far. I just started messing with tweaks last night and had a few freezes -> reboots when walking down the hall way / up the stairs in Quadrant Standard.

I increased the LMK setting and it seems to be running fine now.

Has anyone figured out BLN with missed calls and texts?

It used to work fine on my phone back with Cognition 4.3.
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
In the CWM recovery tweak settings there is a setting for touchscreen sensitivity with 3 options, default, sensitive1, and sensitive2. Do 1 and 2 increase sensitivity? If so, does anyone know of a tweak to decrease screen sensitivity? Would turning off 1200 OC make a difference?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Which version of Corn 7? I would start by reducing that LMK setting (80mb is for serious single-tasking... like a game). Also, check that your sysctl.conf file doesn't have tweaks in it from somewhere else, or turn it off.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Those setting come from Thunderbolt, and I really can't tell the difference. Will probably ditch them in future versions.
[Captivate Android Development] nycmon:
hi! so is this latest version 7.06 compatible with fasty kk4 v1.1? I'm reading about all these bootloops etc and am a bit trepidatious... Should i just flash the stable 6.0x version? I am hoping this wkernel update will resolve my lag and random reboot problems I am currently having...

Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
About reboots: they only happen with me when i in phone call. Never reboot by itself while laying down. 7.06
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Right, I meant "KeepScreen" :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] jvc73:
7.06.

Already reduced the lmk, hasn't happened again for now.

The sysctl must be on by default I suppose, I'll try switching it off.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] nycmon:
Just flashed the v7.06 and it seems to be working fine! no bootloops or any junk lol

Now I'm juist looking at all these MANY options and tweaks in CWM recovery!

I've read all about the I/O schedulers and governors and left i/o default(sio) and governor on smartassv2....hope this works out!

but now I'm looking at all the tweaks....which ones should i apply??...

ps - one issue i do seem to have is that voodoo sound drivers are not loading....vodoo control plus is telling me that i am running a kernel that does not support extended sound controls! any advice on this one?

Thank you!

**Awesome work on this kernel btw MT!
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Voodoo sound does work. I was using this kernel all day yesterday with voodoo sound listening to music. Now I am back to testing the latest Glitch kernel for ICS
[Captivate Android Development] nycmon:
Yes it finally loaded the voddo sound drivers after the third reboot since flashing. Now it looks like it loads properly every time! So that's good to go!

Just need help with the system tweak packages that comes with 7.06...no idea which, if any, I should be applying to the phone for speed and stability with good/decent battery life. ;)

Thanks for any help people!
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
Thx for keeping us updated - tested 7.0.6

On all tests I got AdrenalineShot and ThunderBolt tweaks enabled.

Worked on Fasty KK4 ROM.

6.03 - works with VoodooPlus and Tegrak Ultimate

7.0A - works with VoodooPlus, but not Tegrak (why???)

7.0.6 - froze and rebooted after applying Hi-Fi Recording in Voodoo Control.

I will now try to remove tweaks and retest 7.06.

I have a humble request - drop your custom code, get sources, add Voodoo sound and OC/UV module. People then are free to apply their tweaks. We need solid working kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I too have a humble request. Can you guess what it is?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Maybe this?
[Captivate Android Development] cursedwave:
I would've thought it was to use the Donate button in the shortest time.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
^lol that too xD
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
7.0.6 test results again

No tweaks.

EXT4 on all partitions.

KK4 Fasty ROM.

Randomly reboots after about a minute or two after any active work, any app really.

Keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] nedthehead:
Is there a list somewhere explaining what each set of tweaks contains?
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Yeah in recovery when you select them you read the tweaks, then you get to choose if you want to apply them in the end.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
From another of your posts it appears that you are using Adrenaline Shot and God knows what else. Those are "tweaks". Even if you think you have removed them, you probably have something left behind. Might be time for you to trade up to another phone.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Read the descriptive text in Recovery. If you need more info, there is a link in the O.P. to pikachu01's very comprehensive Android Optimization Tips. Most everything is explained there. You can also just use the defaults and get very good performance. The single biggest performance boost comes from converting to Ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
How this works....

I do this for my own "amusement" and the amusement of others. I do not make money from this... except for one donation at Christmas time from a kind soul, I have had no other donations. That's cool... I never thought of this as a source of income.

However, my "amusement" with this ends when folks start making rude demands and making generalized complaints without providing information about their "environment" or bothering to investigate what else might be causing their problems. The KK4 source and examples for adding Voodoo Sound, BLN, overclocking, etc. are all out there for anyone who wants to "roll their own". There are also many other options - modified stock kernels as well as some really good re-oriented I9000 kernels. If Corn is not for you, please move on.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
Thanks for your work

Mt_Carey - But many of us don't expect any pay. However you have to consider us as your free beta testers. Do not get enraged by bug report or feature request. It's normal in software development process. Relax! Enjoy! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Free beta testers for what? The paid version? :confused: And bug reports / feature requests are expected... rude demands are not.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Very well said!

Really??? Only one donation? I've been meaning to donate, but I guess good intentions are pretty worthless. I'm going to donate right now because although I still have some minor problems with my phone, this is by far the best it's ever been. And you give better "customer support" than most things that I actually have to buy. Also, I'm guessing that some if not all of my problems are due to rogue apps and perhaps ROM issues.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks, this kernel with Saurom kk4 has been working well for me. And thank you, when I had asked about 'tweaks", etc, you gave recommendations, and referred me to link in the O.P. to pikachu01's, which was helpful in understanding what they all mean.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Cool. BTW, I was not *****ing about you!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Thanks! And I'm always interested in whatever "problems" people are having, minor or not.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
hey, still have reboots, just thought i would share how i flashed so that it may help you.

from your own 7.0a kerenel on kk4 stock, i wiped data, dbdata, cache, system, and sdcard, reformatted back to rfs, then powered off. i then flashed kf1 with odin, since it does a full wipe, let it boot up, rebooted into download, flashed kk4 in odin, let it boot up, rebooted into download, and flashed corn 7.06, let it boot, then it rebooted on its own. i proceeded to switch to kk4, sio, and smartass, with no other tweaks, rebooted, and it rebooted on its own again. so either i have a bad phone, or there is a problem with the kernel that hasnt been identified yet. dont take this as a complaint though, i love everything you do, and 7.0a works perfectly for me and im happy with it! just trying to give you any information that might help. thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Which KK4 ROM? Stock? If so, try installing Superuser / Busybox from Recovery menu option. Won't boot without root.
