Sorry about the later than promised release. I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger knowing that X wasn't done or Y wasn't how I wanted it, but at last I finally did.

The big changes in this release are ditching Voodoo Color for AOSP-style color tuning, trickle charge included in the battery driver with a userspace toggle, and KGB App to tie everything together, along with a few lower-level things. I guess I actually am a dev now.

Please feel free to send me feedback PMs or e-mails through the menu option in KGB App. I can't guarantee a response to each one but I promise to read them all and incorporate suggestions/fixes as best I can. This goes especially for any EH09/EI20 users, as any testing that I personally do with those older releases is very limited but there seems to be a number of people out there still on some ROM or another that's based on those releases.

BTW, thanks to ACLakey if you're reading this for your help with beta testing today's release! Please upgrade as I fixed several major bugs!
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
I was about to say "Works for me" regarding the BLN issues but I did some more testing and indeed it only works once and then not at all until timeout is set again. I think I actually have an idea about how to go about fixing this - which was definitely not true when I first released this kernel months ago!

I'll start investigating tomorrow.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Thanks a ton for trying to track down the BLN issues that seemed to have cropped up on GB. BTW this happens on other kernels also so its not specific to your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] darkmage1991:
new app is nice, i get force close when selecting ''send feedback'' but other than that the app works great so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
Nice! Loaded up. Seeing how she does. Nobody uses smartass governor? ?

[Fascinate Android Development] tulalhyt:
just try this kernel from arround this 4 o'clock pm, lag fix activated, no overclock and still no UV

so fast .... loading application also faster

so smooth .... so cool :)

thankx comrade ...

oh yeah almost forgot to tell, using zram default size
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
WOW... works way better than the previous version TKSGB-I500-1027.0315. I ran a full benchmark in Quadrant and came up with 1638 on the old one, and 1917 on KGB-I500.1127. HOLY **** DUDE!!! :eek:

That's faster than the Nexus. Yet, when I OC/UV on the old kernal to 1400MHz... my phone freezes and crashes. Even @ 1300 stock mV it hangs and chokes...

BUT... on this new one... I'm @ 1300 Stock mV, and it's as smooth as a babies bottum. Even running one my heaviest Live wallpapers... wow...

Apps load faster... animations are smoother. I only have one FC that's a photo widget that's bunk anyway. Great work bro. I'm impressed. and HAPPY!!!:D
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
I've been on CM7 nightlies for months now. While everything was pretty solid and smooth, I really hated the constant 3g and wifi dropouts. So I gave Superclean 0.3 and this kernel a shot. So far it's pretty sweet. The speed is plenty fast enough once you overclock, apply voodoo and some other tweaks. Using the TW4 Launcher is very smooth. And, so far battery life destroys anything that I could do on CM7. Nice work!
[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:
How does that work with your battery life??
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Who the hell can tell with all the going back and forth between forums and rootz? I didn't notice any difference either way. But one thing is for sure for me: KGB 1127 outperforms any TW Rom -kernel combo I've ever run on this phone, period. The increased available ram coupled with zram makes a huge difference for me, with zero stability issues

[Fascinate Android Development] tee00max:

Why is it thatmy voltage control settings never stick after reboot?
[Fascinate Android Development] wire-to-wire:
I'm currently running the stock eh03 kernel and would like to try this one. Is there anything that I need to do before or after I flash this kernel? Also could someone please tell me if the stock eh03 kernel is voodoo or non-voodoo? Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] wardcst:
I had that problem I installed busybox and they started sticking

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

The stock one is non voodoo

back up your stock kernel with program like sgs kernel flasher incase you ever want to go back before you put new kernel on
[Fascinate Android Development] tulalhyt:
the stock eh03 kernel is non voodoo .. but it is very2 stable for me
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Did you save the boot settings?
[Fascinate Android Development] wire-to-wire:
Noob question alert: Will flashing this kernel give me faster download speeds? I'm currently downloading at speeds between 300-800 kbps and I've seen other posts where people were getting over 1000 kbps.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Not necessarily....the radio is what dictates data speeds. Ec09 or eh03 seem to be the 2 best radios for our device.
[Fascinate Android Development] JJ5150:
I totally agree 100%. BEST KERNEL I'VE RUN SO FAR. I'm running AWD Launcher EX, and I just can get over how smooth and quick this thing is. I'll even bet it will highly improve any Stock rooted ROM also. I'm running GeeWiz 2.1 with KGB 1127... I believe my hunt for improvement is over.

Even TW4.5Launcher beta1 runs smooth. Which is a pretty good thing considering the glitches it has. way less crashes and FC's for some reason.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jay Evans:
Working smooooth so far. No FC on send feedback for me
[Fascinate Android Development] ACLakey:
Working great so far Comrade...nice work. I sent you feedback through the app and it worked just fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] steve2711:
Thanks so much for this kernal. So far I've been able to hold steady at 1400 mhz useing Voltage control w-25 volts. The thing is, it feels solid and i've not been able to do 1400mhz steadily and have ended up at 1300 where all fc's stop. But so far no fc's. Also the app is interesting but am not sure whether the trickle (enabled) is working or not, as my battery has remained predictable in terms of drain useing the latest TSM Reserrection.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
OK, the results of my investigation.

<words were here, removed because solution was found>

My very first smali hack! This is a patch to TSM Resurrection 2.0. Flash it and your BLN will be fully fixed. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?paazweu0ie8z1g9

Explanation:

With stock TW, a framework hack is necessary to make BLN work correctly. I adapted neldar's patch here fairly trivially. All ROMs should have included this from the beginning.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
Just because I could, I have added a BLN framework patch for SuperClean3 Milestone 1 to the downloads post.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
<In my best Soviet era voice>

"Thank you comrade!"

Flashing now I'll let you know of it works

*EDIT* - BLN now works, too good. Mainly it never shuts off lol. It blinks when you get a message, and just keeps on blinking. It does it with Blinky and BLN control pro. I had to turn off BLN in BLN control.

Hey we are getting closer at least! I appreciate the effort
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
That's what it's supposed to do. You can stop the blinking with a timer or by acknowledging the notification in the status bar (or clearing them). You should only use one app in any case because they can both control the touchkey backlights.

Anyway I'm glad to know it works.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Ok have to Edit my post here, I did alot of testing and I found what was wrong with this fix and a workaround to it. Ok basically our beloved Comrade's fix DOES work, however if you are using go sms or handcent there is a little problem. If you have it set for the popup window to come up, then you read your message that way and knowledge the message by closing the window-the bln lights continue to blink! You HAVE to go to the Notifications and acknowledge them that way, whats funny is even if you notifications bar is blank- pulling it down will stop the bln even if its empty. If your using the stock SMS app you probably never noticed this problem. So I'm actually turning the message window off in Go SMS.

Thanks comrade! Glad to see a Dev finally tackle this issue
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
Running SC3 M1 and for whatever reason BLN has just always worked for me without issue so I'll wait to apply to patch till I see a malfunction (I use Blinky btw).

Running into an odd issue since flashing FA16 - my sound will completely cut out. A quick reboot sets it right, but I wonder if I'm the only one with this issue and if it could be kernel related.

Also, even though I used the script removal tool I still get the warning about present init.d scripts when I start up the KGB app. I tried running the script removal tool again but I still get the message. No biggie as everything seems to be working, but I'd rather manage the settings from the tool from now on.

* @mod143 done - deleted the scripts manually and now it seems to be all set - thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] mod143:
Just go in that folder and delete manually, worked for me
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
What sound cuts out? In-call or out of call? It could be kernel-related. During testing I would have trouble sometimes with the other party not being able to hear me. I thought I'd fixed that but I'll give the sound driver code another look.

I'll fix the init.d script issue by having the app remove the scripts by itself as necessary in the next update as I probably should have done from the start instead of relying on whatever recovery people have installed.

Sorry, these things happen because I can't test every configuration.

BTW, for people running TSMR 2, how's the ROM+kernel combo doing with lag and hot reboots?

EH03 kernels have 378MB of user-available RAM by default, which is at least one area where we're ahead of what looks like all the other SGS phones. I took advantage of this so that the kernel will try to maintain a higher amount of free RAM at all times which should mean that when TSMR does its dynamic recompilation of apksblack magic it will be guaranteed of having enough RAM to do it without hot rebooting. But TSMR 2 overrides the lowmemorykiller settings I'm trying out, probably resulting in a memory leak. For the moment I'm leaning in favor of recommending deleting the line that says "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ 1" at the end of /system/build.prop, especially if you have lag, or you could just wait until TSMR 2 is updated soon since the TSM guys agreed to remove it then.

As for whether all this will do any good, I'm not sure, but absence of evidence isn't evidence to the contrary and all that.
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
It's only happened twice, but all sound - notifications/media/everything just cuts out. I haven't tried making a call when it happened.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
Hrm. I'll still take a look at the sound driver but without more information I'm not sure if that will reveal anything. If you can recreate it you could try to catch logcat output and you could use dmesg after the fact if it happens.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
love the new kgb app btw :p

any chance of pulling voltage/cpu controls into so as to eleminate the need for voltage control
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Installed the new kernel, but Bln still refuses to work (Bln pro or blinky). When I open the new kgb app, it tells me there's a Bln time out script running but I can't find it in the etc /init.d folder.

Any ideas?

Edit: /me hanging my head down in shame for not reading thoroughly . Bln does work after flashing the script

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect ROM "
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
I thought about doing OC/UV through KGB App, actually. I'm sure I could do it with enough time, although like 90% of the work will be the UI and that will be annoying. If I do end up doing it, you will all have overvolting for free ;)

Also BLN doesn't work without the framework patch.
[Fascinate Android Development] notoriousB:
Tsm res 2 user here, loaded fa16 last night, and have had issues all day with my corporate email program and hot reboots. Will try editing build.prop in a few and will report my results.
[Fascinate Android Development] beray5:
Was using FA16 and Geewiz well, decided to try TSM and immediate boot-loops with 3 to 4 minutes intervals.

Edited and removed last line in build prop as mentioned in between boot-loops - instant boot-loop fixed.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
This might be a stupid question, but are you looking in system/etc/init.d or just /etc/init.d ?
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
This shouldn't matter, as /etc should be symlinked to /system/etc.
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
The problem was that I didn't flash the zip that fixes Bln. My bad

Tweak zram. I'm at 64mb and my ram is 378mb.

[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I'm using FA16 with the newest update and I'm not getting a single reboot... Should I expect them? :p I came fresh from Odin also if that matters... I guess sometimes it does and doesn't.

BLN still doesn't work... Well it does... but opposite of how it should. The lights come on regardless of a notification or not.
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
I am not sure what I have done, but I am in a boot loop and I'm not exactly sure how to get out of it.

I updated via ODIN to FA16 and everything booted up fine. I went into Voltage Control to check on things and it gave me the message that it appeared that I had flashed a new kernel, and the settings may be broken (or something to that effect). I clicked on "Save boot settings" hoping they would "fix" any broken settings.

Then, I remembered the new KGB app and opened it. I clicked on the zram enable box and set it to 64M. I forget what the very bottom box was, but I think I clicked it too.

I managed to get into Voltage Control before it rebooted and clicked the "remove boot settings" button. I also did get it into Download mode, and flashed the FA16 kernel again, but now help. Now, it is in a boot loop and I don't know how to recover without completely flashing the rom again. Maybe that would be the best thing to do at this point anyway. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

OK. I'm not sure what fixed it, but it finally booted up fine and didn't loop. Never mind. Thanks for the help anyway. Just for future reference...what are your options in case of boot loop like that. Flash the rom again and start over?
[Fascinate Android Development] RandomGuy982:
I'm running SC3 with FA16 kernel, and I'm getting unreal battery life. I'm a moderate to heavy user, and usually have to recharge after about 11hrs. Well...I have been off of the charger for 16hrs 34m 39s as of right now, and still have 61% battery life!

Edit: I'm now going on 30hrs 36mins 23s since last charge and I still have 21% left. This is the most battery life I've ever experienced with this phone!
[Fascinate Android Development] bmeek:
This kernel appeared flawless until I ran into miscellaneous sound issues to report:

The Voodoo sound driver doesn't appear to be active to voodoo control plus - is the sound module still included?

My bluetooth headset doesn't work when the phone is in the car dock. It comes back after pulling from the dock...

Sound doesn't route through the desk dock. I've got xcaliburinhand's dock sound redirector but no luck.

I realize, comrade, that you don't have a car or desk dock to test with... I'm happy to put some focus into testing if I can help. There at no fcs or error messages, but if logcats would be useful?

I had installed this kernel, after applying the kgb cleaning script, to an sc3 rom that had been running the stock eh03 kernel.

I left all the default settings in the excellent kgb app except for experimenting with the backlight timeout setting (this feature rocks!).

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Read my earlier post, the BLN fix posted works different than any other BLN. In a nutshell to stop the notification you MUST pull down the notification bar, it works even if there are no notifications up there. It seems to reset the BLN. You really notice this little quirk when you are using an SMS program that has pop up windows. You still must pull down the notification bar to reset the BLN. I did alot of testing yesterday and can confirm this works
[Fascinate Android Development] laureanop:
Yeah I noticed it in my wife' s fascinate with Handcent. I had to re enable status bar notifications so Bln can be canceled from there

[Fascinate Android Development] Jimi Mack:
I flashed this yesterday and all day today I have been having one issue. Every time my phone and Bluetooth reconnect as I get in the car it wants to update the address book. Never had this happen before, while using the 12/12 Trickle. Has anyone else been experiencing the same issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
Apparently you don't want to use the dock redirector. This info's a couple months old, though.

Voodoo Sound is most definitely enabled and working. I'm not sure what your problem is.
[Fascinate Android Development] notoriousB:
on TSM 2.0 with the build.prop edit and heavy calling and corporate email push all day long my phone worked very well. I think that easy edit fixes it up!

Also just wanted to say that I love the KGB App icon, I cracked up when i first saw it comrade!
[Fascinate Android Development] bmeek:
Thank you, comradesven.

I don't know what had gone wrong with voodoo sound previously, although I suspect it was due to flashing kgb over the stock kernel with voodoo plus loading the module for non-voodoo kernels?

Anyway, I reflashed kgb after being certain to wipe caches, and voodoo doing is there a expected.

I was still having the bluetooth issue and bad luck with dock audio, but I hadn't seen the discussion to stop using dock redirector with the tw roms (saw that jt's current kernels obsolete the redirector, but thought it was still necessary on here)...

I'm back on the stock kernel now, but I'll uninstall dock redir, reflash kgb, and take a drive to test right now...

Edit: no luck on sound through the car dock usb (with or without dock sound redir).

Anyone out there using (car or desk) dock audio successfully with this kernel?

Thanks again!
[Fascinate Android Development] Merman1983:
Is Voodoo color out for good? I understand some were having issues, but it was great for me. I guess I miss it a bit. Just curious -not a big deal. Everthing is working great.

I500 Tap, Tap, Taparoo
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
I've got vague plans to look into this. At the moment I'm gathering information.

I'll look into what changes to Bluetooth were made between EI20 and EH03, and in the meantime, if anyone else has been experiencing the issue, I'd like to know as well.

Good to know that I wasn't just talking out of my ass on the HOME_APP_ADJ thing.

And I had the same reaction when I saw the icon, and luckily the Norwegian dudes behind Pocket Stalin were cool about letting me use it :)

Forcibly loading the module isn't necessary and may be buggy, yeah. Though I thought you need to manually set it to load? Whatever, glad it's working.

Sorry this isn't working, I'll look into it. I hear desk audio works for sure.

Yeah, it's probably gone for good. If supercurio ever fixes Voodoo Color so that gamma tables work for real again, and I still have a Fascinate, I'll try and figure out why the green tint fix that works for other kernels doesn't work for us.
[Fascinate Android Development] sol_671:
Loving the new kernel, just missing voodoo color badly, feels like the color is washed out, any tips for the color tuning I suck with adjusting aosp color tuning, it just looks so wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
May wish to fix the date in the OP. Says 1/16/2011.

I had a mild case of "oh no!"when I saw that after flashing.

Oh, good! It's not just me. I thought that the color looks rather washed out now too. Not sure how to adjust it best either.
[Fascinate Android Development] mod143:
first thing i noticed was how dull the colors looked. voodoo color seemed to be fine on my phone also.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnsma22:
First, let me say that this kernel is great, and the kgb app is icing on the cake! However, I also find myself really missing voodoo color! My wife couldn't care less about stuff like this, but even she noticed the difference.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
Woopz, this happens to me every year.

The colors should be more accurate but I kinda miss it too. There might be some way I could work in hue/saturation adjustments.nope, too complicated atm
[Fascinate Android Development] ibrubeer:
Just flashed the updated TSM Res2.1 and got into a bootloop. What fixed it was getting back into CWR and running 2 scripts: the VCremove to remove the Voltage Control script and the KGB remove script. Don't know if this is an issue for anybody else or my user error. Just mentioning it.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

If I ran the script in CWR to remove the scripts created by KGB, do I need to do anything after it boots back up? When I go into the KGB app, it says that trickle charge is still enabled, and zram is stell enabled at 64MB. Those were the only things that I had done...
[Fascinate Android Development] the entity:
Also get stick in boot loops more often since the update. usually after the 4th or 5th reboot it stays. it was fine on the first couple boots, but started after enabling zram. Might be related, might be random.

*edit* Just to clarify, my bootloop was more of the situation that jcurley described below.
[Fascinate Android Development] comradesven:
You're good, the app starts at boot so init.d scripts that would run before that are not necessary.
[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
I had no idea what happened when I saw it, but actually saw the change take place and the new colors are definitely washed out, and didn't seem to change hue, they just desaturated. Any chance of reverting that change? Kinds makes my phone feel cheap, like the old lcd monitors. i liked my blacker blacks :-o

EDIT: I adjusted the color settings to 90 for each color and it appears to resemble voodoo color in saturation.

Does the trickle charge feature go haywire sometimes? Asking because this morning I unplugged my phone from the charger and it was only at 53%, I plugged it in last night at around 20% so in 6 hours it only charged that little bit. Has anyone seen this?
