[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Just what I've been waiting for... I've missed CWM, but wanted to keep the kj6 kernel.

I'll push this later this morning as time permits and see how it goes.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
How fast is boot with this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cannondale0815:
I am using it with the simply simple rom right now, perfect combination!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Will it work with init.d scripts ? lockscreens and thundervolt...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
It's just a kernel it has init-d support and boot animation support.

lockscreens are framework dependant not kernel dependant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
I've been using this for a few hours now on top of Valhalla o/c'd to 1.3ghz and it's been running great so far. Good job man.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
how long does it take to boot. Normal or voodoo kernel time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Shaved 4-5 seconds off my boot, on Octane 2.x
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MarkP80nj:
Running great on icbinb kj6.

Many thanks for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
Just flashed, no issues so far
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Okay, user error... got it flashed with Heimdall after all... we'll see how she plays...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Meddlemaker:
Working well with ICBINB Official KJ6. Nice work. Glad to see some developers are back in action with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrC0ffee:
Thanks for all your excellent work. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mzangui:
Thanks again for your hard work.

Can you change the color of fonts in recovery? this way it works like your signature
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
excellent kernel glad to be able to make complete back ups no problems as of yet, if I have any problems I will let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No, the colors are hard coded in. I would have to rebuild recovery.

I wouldn't worry about it for now. When we go to the next version, we'll get the nice white and blue recovery that cwm5 has ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Really?

So, technically, CWM will be just like the stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No, not at all. The stock recovery is feature-less and ugly...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cheffz:
+1 on the BIG THANKS :D

Your Da Chit !
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4127440:
I flashed this over vahalla final created a backup deleted a few apps and did a restore... got stuck on splashscreen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
looks like theres a new drhonk in town
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
Flashed fine on octaine. Happy Guy!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Just awesome, clean thoughtful coding done for the sgs4g. Every beta so far has been cleaner stronger faster. My quad scores go up on every new flash. I run subtly 1 plus lightning zap plua juice defender and it dont seem like it can get any better/faster but ill prob have to try a rom other then stock with it. I havent really seen one seems good enough to put on instead of stock. Thanks for new cwm. I deleted my old.nandroid baks, I heard I wouldmt be able to.back those up using this cwm. Anyway bd, u the man. Keep up great work I will contrib. Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
I believe i might have experienced a bug. After flash beta3 my phone would reboot on its own out of no where. I would say an hour or half hour after i flashed it, it rebooted and three hours later it also rebooted itself. So twice this has happened.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
This is happening to me also. Are you overclocking or undervolting? Gonna modify my voltages and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
neither, I switched back to latest beta2d, nothing so far..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Also just noticed fixing permissions in recovery isn't working
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
still no trouble here, been using it as usb tether b/c stupid TW is out. i did fix permissions which sucked out the last 7% of battery and on reboot it died...whew.

wipe dalvik and wipe cache partition AFTER i flashed and let it sit for 30 minutes.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Strange. Just before responding I fixed perms and a couple probs went away.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I did notice earlier while chatting with Hays and raverx3x that my battery drains faster, but ive been running this kernel and recovery for a week. No probs but the battery drain...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 7TimesCursed:
so do we have to move our bootanimation zips to system/bin instead of system/media?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
i tried flashing a zip containing my theme and some modded system apks. They didn't get pushed but works with previous cwm. I pushed them manually, fixed permissions, but they won't open. Gonna try with previous kernel

Edit, tried fixing permissions with previous version, still won't open. Guess it's because I manually pushed them?

Curious though why the app folder in my zip didn't flash. Framework flashed ok. Gonna test again here.

Edit2: flashed theme with previous cwm and it worked. All system apps got flashed and open.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I have my bootanimation in /system/media with this kernel and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Bhundven

Congrats on your last achievements !

I'm also getting my battery drained on beta 3..

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
That isn't what I meant, will it be placed in the kernel like the stock recovery? Maybe my response was vague.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I haven't had a single problem with the kernel, and I am using my rom. Except, cough, cough, boot time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Logix:
no crashes and fast boot time here AWESOME WORK thank you beta 3 is better than the best! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ericmpanda:
Ever think its your rom im on valhalla with this kernel boot is so quick under a minute
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Interesting. Pm me with links and details. I'll try to repro and see what is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
How many seconds is the boot time for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Less then 10
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I think it is interesting to note that I don't reboot my phone much. So worrying about boot time seems superfluous. It's on this list for the next release to chop down bootime, so complaining about it here and now is silly.

Also interesting is that every single one of my kernels tested higher (not by much, but still) then stock kj6 with AnTuTu and CF-Bench.

For those with problem, telling me that you have a problem doesn't help!

Gimmie logs, do a complete wipe and reinstall the rom and my kernel... DO NOT install tweaks or OC and test again. If you still have problems, don't tell me you have a problem, attach a log and I will fix the issue promptly.

If you need help getting logs, search this thread or RaverX3X's Octane thread. We have both been trying to push you guys to give us logs. It's not to make life difficult, we're trying to make our Kernels/ROMs better for YOU. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
I've been running the new kernel since last night without any problems so far. Keep up the good work man. Each update seems to get better and better. Thanks and I hope you and your family have a nice holiday.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
What do you mean by under 10. From on to boot animation? Also the people who say under a min, this phone should take under 20 seconds with GB, so don't feel so proud

Sorry BD, not trying to boo your kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Technically, it's not the kernel or cwm, it's the /voodoo scripts that seem to be taking a long time. Again... These scripts are being removed from the next version, so it is silly to keep this conversation.

I know you're passionate about this issue, and I am working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Hey and happy holidays to all of xda. I doubt cm7 by Christmas, but I will gladly accept it as a belated gift. :)

This post was kind of random. But I want to enjoy the updated version of ICS keyboard!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Also, the next version will have the real cwm5 and its beautiful eye candy right? Not some awkward red voodoo one, right. Also, I would suggest that you remove the superuser installer. That might also be delaying it. Just keep on version for those who want to root their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Right. I'll post screenshots for you guys soon.

Well, this is also in the /voodoo scripts, so it will obviously be removed.

I still want to keep /system/xbin/su installer (if it doesn't exist), but I'm going to drop installing the Superuser.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
Same. And I agree, complaints about boot time seems like splitting hairs. Enjoying the kernel a lot so far. Great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bswann:
What exactly is the purpose/advantages of voodoo? Will I still be able to use the voodoo audio app with it in the kernal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
http://project-voodoo.org/ has much more info. (and is sadly somewhat out of date)

There is

Voodoo Lagfix (which basically just converts your /data, /cache, and /system partitions from rfs to ext4).

Voodoo Sound (which can be provided by Voodoo Control Plus, which is also much cheaper on the market... Thanks supercurio!). The built-in sound is what everyone keeps requesting, but isn't in my kernel, yet. The Voodoo Control Plus method will work for my current and future kernels.

Voodoo Color (which I'm not sure if we need for this phone or not.)

Voodoo Lagfix is what needs the initramfs of the kernel to be modified, but you don't need all these scripts to do that. They seem to do a lot of other checks and installing extensions (like bootanimation, superuser, etc...). Also, it doesn't convert other partitions that are formatted as rfs, which I plan on fixing in the next version. Hopefully after then, we can have a fulll EXT4 only kernel... and soon after that MTD/YAFFS2.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] error666:
I have no idea why is everybody complaining about boot times and the color of recovery. I've been running all the kernels including the last one and they all work fine.

Boot time is pretty insignificant as long as it's under a minute and my device fully boots in about a minute and good 30 seconds of it is the media scanning.

Colors - who cares, as long as it's readable it's fine. Recovery is not about amazing graphics anyway.

The most important stuff to me is stability and speed and this kernel seems to work just fine except for the first boot which is always a pita.

Quadrant scores for me are the same no matter which version of kernel I'm using :)

Just one suggestion. You might want to consider installing su and binary only if it doesn't exist already. Automatically updating older versions doesn't look like a very good idea. Usually if it exists it will eventually get updated through the market unless the owner doesn't want to update it for a very specific reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
The way the voodoo scripts work right now, it just automatically overwrites the file.

In my updated script the line will basically look like this:

[ ! -x /system/xbin/su ] && cp /initramfs/su /system/xbin/su

So if the file does not exist and/or is not executable, then it gets overwritten, but not if it does exist and is executable.

If the user updates su, it will not be overwritten by my kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4127440:
Maybe its just you...and who uses numbers for a name anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
It's actually just airfluip1. The rest of us are fine with bootup.

Agreed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
EDIT: whoa! I read your message wrong. Lol mybad.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ok, I had to scroll a few screens back to find this.

I'll test this tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
So... Uh... I forgot to mention, but...

voodoo lagfix -> debug on

adbd is now on in recovery.

advanced -> reboot recovery

adb wait-for-device && adb logcat 2>&1 | tee logcat.log

Send me the logcat.log up till after you install the zip.

If that yeilds nothing of interest, I'll instrument the recovery to provide more logging while installing a package, and send you a custom recovery for you to test.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elinca247:
Any idea on when BLN will be in effect. I'm sure there are many like me waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
When it's done.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Logix:
i hate bln So true story i droped my phone in a hot tub today
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
o.O

Remove the battery, put it in a bowl of rice.

Buy a new battery as yours might be shot, and possibly the rest of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
This is only a 23 page thread. On the upper right is a search button. That is how I found my quoted message. USE IT! :)

EDIT: oh yea... check out this awesome animated gif w/link in my signature. Did you read it?!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4127440:
this sounds nuts but the refrigerators the best place for a watered phone....frig makes very dry air
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
I'm not complaining but my battery seems to be draining faster than usual as well. Just letting you know it's not only you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
don't power off your phone so you don't have to worry about boot time! :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
im not saying that you shouldnt request something that would ultimately make the kernel better, i just dont get why it's such a huge deal to everyone thats talked about it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Seriously... If it bothers you so much then flash drhonk's kj1 w/voodoo lagfix. The next beta may not be out until after the new year. I don't have time to keep responding on this topic and it will be fixed in the next beta... did I also mention this is beta?

(EDIT: btw, my name is Bryan, you can call me that. My initials are BH. I don't know this BD guy... ;-P :-D )

It's insulting when I tell you that I'm working on it, and it will be fixed, yet you keep bringing it up... as if I'm going to work harder while I'm trying to keep up with what you are posting in a thread I OP.

Seriously. This kernel is beta. There are problems. RaverX3X just pointed out a few of them. I'm still waiting on Somairotevoli and a few others to give me

LOGS

of the problems they are talking about so I can fix those problems too.

If you have a problem with this kernel, send me

LOGS

or it didn't happen.

If you want to continue to complain about this kernel even after I've acknowledged the problem and say "I'm working on it", then go flash drhonk's kj1 w/voodoo lagfix.

It's beta, baby!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 7TimesCursed:
Looks like you have been the only one experiencing "slow" boot time. My phone boots just as fast as usual with this kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
boot time non issue

battery drain to lack of kernel going to deepsleep mode ya <<<<<<< id rather have that fixed :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if you dont like the boot times convert rfs flash stock kernel then flash a cwm enabled kernel when ever u wanna dev something
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yes, RaverX3X pointed out a memory leak. we both noticed battery drain issues, I just found that I can drain from 100% to 69% by using my bt headphones for only a couple hours. Deep Idle is not working. And there is still some arch/driver cleanup for me to do.

With that... I'm going to release a test kernel. I'm going to disable Deep Idle and DMA Acceleration, but leave the latest changes. Have you guys test battery drain. The kernel will also have CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK enabled so it will report some memory leak info in dmesg so we can figure this out.

I will not be posting the test kernel to this thread. PM me with "Kernel Testing" if you want to test and/or join freenode #teamacid (no I'm not a part of teamacid, but it's a quiet, mostly unused channel we can talk in).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
So i know you have pointed out the battery issue with the latest release but Check this out! Weird battery drain patterns and if you look at the end you will see the battery charge itself. Went from 4% to 6%. These stats are from the first drain after calibration.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
That happens because after certain reboots the battery will drop. Let the phone sit and it will gradually go back up to the point where it dropped off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
+1ish.... My old vibrant battery is holding almost 2 days on valhalla ... (ok, with occasional 10 min charge if I get in car (old habit I guess),but no hard real use

Edit: without set cpu, overclock and other tweaks, my kids can zap that vibrant battery in less than 2 hours..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If all you do is use your phone as a telephone, email, web browsing, I could see you using this phone for multiple days on one charge.

But if you're like me, and have a BT Headphones, listen to music, wifi, bunch of apps running... battery totally sucks!

I'm too paranoid to turn on GPS, but I'm betting that will eat the battery too.

I'll fix it, it's just gonna take a bit.

If you have battery issues or other issues, please, please, please GIMMIE LOGS!

HOW TO: troubleshoot bad battery life with logcat

Learn logcat like a pro!

Attatch them to your complaint.

Even better would be to use the ISSUE TRACKER. That way I can... track the issues. :-P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
Do you want us to clear our logs, wait a bit, and then send them to you? Or do you want them as they are? I don't think I've ever cleared mine :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Send the whole log. There isn't anything in logcat that says "This is what is eatting the battery", you basically look for items that are running over and over again very fastly. So I want the whole log.

I would also like some commentary, on what you are doing that makes the problem happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Wow :) I was not and am not complaining about anything! I was simply laughing at how my phone was interpreting the battery stats and thought i would share my humor. I guess All i really needed to say was Great work and thanks BH. Now I'm going to go back to reading instead of posting. I miss voices with tone and inflection...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
WOW!!

I can't believe that I just preformed a Nandroid backup and FULL restore without an Issue/System issue while on Gingerbread :).. I'm on Valhalla Final. I thought this day would never come to our Phone. :eek:

Thank You SO MUCH bhundven! :D

You are The Man! Your Kernel IS LEGENDARY, Now, in our Community. In My Opinion.. FACT :D

I Wish You a Happy Holidays to You and Your's.. or a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as it is for Me and Mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
When playing a game such as need for speed, the screen will turn off after its normal 30 sec time out.

Is this part of the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
There is a known issue with deep idle in v0.1.0. A fix is being tested now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
Lol its just not fun when racing and all of a sudden crt off and game pauses.

No worries. Wasn't sure if I should bring it up. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Don't worry about it dude. I answered your question. I'm working on it. Thank you very much for the feedback!

There is a problem with Deep Idle.

Many other subsystems block deep idle from going into didle_sleep. Bluetooth, gps, wifi, internal dma, and a bunch of other things.

Essentially v0.1.0 is crippled, as it constantly tries to deep idle, but never does, eating your battery life.

I'm not sure if dma acceleration is working properly, and when I removed that option as well, raver noticed that a kernel memory leak was no longer occurring.

These problems were all found by watching battery statistics, free memory/memory usage, cpu usage, and some printk's that help me figure out what deep idle was up to.

I can totally see how some of two issues could have an effect on many apps you would use on your phone, including racing games! :)

Again, your feedback was helpful! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
I just want to say thank you, for all the time you put into making our phone that much better. There are thankful ppl and greedy, it's best to just ignore it. I'll check out the logcat thing and send it your way-no issues with newest kernel I'm at 24 hours and 40% battery using Valhalla black, with go launcher ex
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] conantroutman:
Thread cleaned of off topic stuff....

For those of you in any doubt, here's how it is.....

When the OP of a development thread, that would be the developer, tells you that you're off topic.... You are off topic.

Carry on.... :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bswann:
I just want to say thank you for the hard work and time you put in for us. I do not post a lot here because I know how to read and use the search function, I do give thanks when it is due though. If I have a problem I will read every page before I post a question and I wish others would do the same so that your time would not be wasted on trying to help people who do not know how to help themselves. Once again thank you for everything and good luck on CM7
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Bh your not the only one sick of attitudes here. I hardly post anymore unless it's to offer help to someone who really needs it. Like the poster above mentioned some people are greedy self-serving and self-centered. Such is life. It would suck to loose you and your skills so hopefully people take the warning and get it.

Now about this kernal. INCREDIBLE man just great. Full backup and restore from GB, YEAH. One thing I haven't tried but somewhere in this thread you mentioned mount usb be storage works. If that's the case AWSOME. Being able to dump things onto sd card from cwm will be huge.

The battery issue for me turns out to be a non issue. When I first flashed this kernel my battery dropped pretty quick. Like 70% in 12 hours. After a full charge it seems to have settled in quite nicely. Running Valhalla final no OC I'm at 27 hours with 55% charge. I would say I'm an average user. MY wifi and GPS are always on. Probablly have 12 hours of music at least in there. One thing is I don't use BT at all. Maybe the problem you and others are having good be there. If you want in a few days when I get some time I'll send you logs.

Thank You and Happy Holidays
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
I know there is a confirmed battery issue as mentioned but I just want to share my experience. I unplugged my phone overnight at 100% and woke up this morning to see the battery at 85%. I received a couple of handcent texts while I was asleep and checked battery status to see handcent at 61%. I'm running Valhalla black with lightning zap. Thomas did mention about the battery and suggested to do battery cycles so I will and see if the battery settles in. I will post results later on. Thanks and happy holidays.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Was running Octane 3.0, had severe power issues, flashed this kernel on, now I'm ROCKING with super long battery life and a speedy interface. Can't wait for the final version of this kernel, I'm sticking to this one.
