Hehe, I apologize for that. :3 It was the only valid reference point I've seen for settings. It's wayy to dark though, I don't get how that looks nice on the Nexus Screen. But it's all preference.

I'm using these as my own reference point then editing the gamma for different purposes.

Screen Color Multipliers

Red= 2311101440

Green= 2433814880

Blue= 2771276480
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It definately takes some experimenting. Each phone, and each person is different. But with that much control, you're sure to find a setting you like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BogusBizzo:
This kernel seems solid with earthbounds Rebirth! I installed over his Sam kernel 2.0.8 and havnt had a prob yet. Man just a little tweak with the colors makes a big diff. Thanks for all the hard work!

What does mtd stand for? Why is everyone so excited?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i just flashed this, we will see how it goes. so far seems pretty snappy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
I can't seem to get anywhere near 2.2 gamma at any settings.

Check this out. Look at the reference image to get an idea how it should look (I downloaded the images and viewed it in quickpic, since that is one of the few ways to get full color) .

If I get 10% looking correct (2.2) then the others are really messed up (48% will be off the chart, probably gamma 4.0 or something, and 24% will be at 2.8 or so), and the same if I try to get 24% or 48% looking correct.

Before Voodoo Color it was much closer across the board, something like 2.0 - 2.5, but obviously the colors were way off (~8000k white point).

I was able to successfully calibrate the white point using my Spyder (I created white, green, red, blue images and switched them when they switched on my PC).. But the gamma makes everything look way off.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
The gamma calibration and black level links you've provided are good reference. I will investigate this further and see what I can determine. To be honest, I don't totally understand all the voodoo color code yet, so I might not have it fully integrated properly (which is why I was looking for this kind of feedback).

Thanks for taking the time to test it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
MTD is a new partition layout, where as our old one was BML. And instead of RFS or EXT4, we'll be on the YAFFS2 file system. It allows devs to determine how much space goes to /system, /data, and /cache. Only way to revert back to BML(to say send it to sprint) is to use Odin with the victory pit, and have repartition checked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
How come all the newer kernels use Voltage control ?

I like setCPU

bbelos what one do you like? Do you think your going to use setCPU for OCing when you add OC in to your kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Looneyrat:
Oh... I see. So no performance gain for us besides just the gain for space allocation. Meh...

More like you should all new angry than happy this user happening. We getting shafted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Thanks!

I did get it working slightly better, the mid-greys are still far too bright though, and if I try to fix them I lose all shadow detail.

If you look at this image on a desktop screen or the stock kernel compared yours with Voodoo Color you'll understand what I mean. There is not enough variance between the mid-greys, therefore making things look either washed out or end up crushing the dark greys if one plays with the Gamma hack v1 settings.

It might be a difference between our screens and other Galaxy S phones.

Everything else is working great though! No stability problems, and it is very snappy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Most use voltage control becaue the code within the app is all around better... set cpu hasn't seen an update in quite awhile while voltage control gets updates quite regularly to make sure everything iss working right...
[Epic 4G Android Development] abhaxus:
Not sure if I am doing something wrong but I don't see a change when adjusting settings in voodoo control plus.

Overall I was shocked at how much better it looks stock than previous kernels.

Performance seems excellent, not really concerned about overlocking because I paid for tegrak during the ef02 days. I don't have any evidence to back it up but I feel like nubernel and samurai have gone too far adding governors and schedulers and it eventually gets unstable after a day or so. Running cfq and ondemand with yours and it seems much more responsive after a half day. If I do develop problems I'll change roms and reflash your kernel to see if I can narrow it down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
I witch Voltage Control just had the profiles.

I do have System Tuner & it has a Screen of setting that seems to work with samurai2.0.8 & Voltage Control.

i cant figure out the whole color thing, What are you supposed to drag those bars to? i dont notice a difference.

everything i try just makes my phone look worse.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
THX 4 that info ... I'm gonna try out this latest version of CM7 and see if I get better results than before ( my phone is just so darn finicky )

​
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
So will they continue to improve CM7 or do you think this might be the last hurrah?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
As long as CM7 needs updating, they'll update it. I think they'll get it to the stable release (post RC stage), then Nightlies will be it.

I am Z.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
So it should technically be RC1 beta 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Yamuu:
lol so that they can do RC1 RC1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. It would just be RC1. Windows 8 beta won't become Windows 8 Windows 8, or even Windows 9.

Holy crap there's a lot of options on the first post... which one should i download for the latest cm9 beta? i'm on ei22. sorry if this is a lazy post but i want to be 100% sure which to install because i've bricked it before and had to odin back to stock, not fun.

PS post #100, only took 4 years :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Not in this thread...

If you can't read it says TW/BML/MTD in the title no where does it indicate CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Also, you didn't brick your phone. Bricking your phone would have rendered it useless. Thus the phrase "my phone is as good as a brick"

Soft-bricks shouldn't even contain the word brick IMO.

~E.R.A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
Well guess I just got schooled... I meant brick as in "screwed my phone up"... and if I posted in the wrong thread I apologize to the "I always post perfectly to the exact thread" gods... I've always done my best to help others here and all I'm asking for is to be pointed in the right direction folks...

[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
per bbelos's request I am bumping this thread and requesting a colonel for CM7 RC3 or the latest nightly. whatever bbelos prefers :D

(i sorta broke the holy rule of kernel talk in the cm7 thread)

i'd love u bbelos!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
This RC3 + nightly is the kang version right? Where would I be able to see a changelog to see what is improved in the versions newer than the official RC2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
no, i wouldnt call them kangs.. they are available on the actual CM downloads...

They havent updated the CM7 change log after RC2.. so the only way i guess would be to look at their commits.. but thats kind of above my head personally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I'm pretty much confused as to what to call them from all that I seen going on it its thread lol. But I guess ill just wait and see what happens before flashing it. Thanks tho.

Bumping for some sweet voodoo loving on the latest cm7 release
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Alright. Wow, it's been a while since I've used CM7, so I'm not even sure what to look for anymore. But here's an update: Uses the newer audio drivers & volume fixes. With that, I added voodoo sound back in. I have left the OC code alone for now, but I may revisit if people have any issues. I don't recall people having any cpu frequency problems, so please let me know if i am mistaken. Also we have the capacitive backlight disabling support.

CM7.2-RC2

Download ShadowKernel-CM7-v0.9.1 [Mirror]

md5: d284d35486f6d5c6989377d6f1a7e510

**CM: Updated for CM7.2-RC2. Capacitive backlight disabling support, Crespo audio drivers with volume level fixes, and Voodoo Sound.**

EDIT: I realize I only say updated for RC2, but it should work for the nightlies since there hasn't been any kernel changes. Let me know if there are any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
You just saved me from flashing the latest miui v4 test. Finally voodoo on my sweet sweet cm7. Thank you so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
Confirmed working flawlessly on the 6/3 nightly..

I'm assuming that the "epic parts" or "device settings" or whatever with the capacitive toggle is only on the RCs and not the nightlies?

But I guess the point is this colonel with 6/3 nightly the capacative buttons stay off unless being touched.. and I couldn't be happier
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
Has anyone used this rom with the peoples rom? Results?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
This kernel is ooooooooolllllld! There are EL30 and FC09 shadowkernels. Do not use EI22 kernels...you will get unpredictable results...it may work fine but why use it?

Anyone getting a wifi error on the latest CM7 shadow kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Which CM7 build are you running?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
Actually it's two things, wifi listing "error" and haptic feedback not working.

I'm on CM7 RC2, the one that I believe is labeled at the June 15 nightly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
The capacitive light fix is AMAZING, though =).
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I don't see a june 15th nightly. can you get me the download link?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I was on Rc3 when I got the same Wifi Error
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
Whoops, I think it's RC2, and labeled as the MAY 15 nightly: "CyanogenMod-7-20120515-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.

Let me redownload your kernel and reflash. Could have been a bad download?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
No luck, both md5s were correct also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Flashed RC2 and gapps clean. Flashed kernel. No problems with wifi or haptic feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I don't know which date is RC3, but i just tried nightly 6/17 flashed over my clean RC2. Wifi and haptic feedback working fine here too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
Well, it all works now!!

Was on RC2 with your kernel. Several things now working. Updated to the same RC3/nightly as you with wiped caches and everything worked. Was afraid to flash you kernel, but dd after reading this post, and PERECT. I've got voodoo again, smartassV2, capacitive lights off, and all the usuals working.

Thank so much.

It's working now, I replaced the zimage in Cm7 with shadow's zimage.

LOL in some instances you can copy and paste when in a kernel, very often do you if you're not up to manually typing tons of **** into the lines hahaha. Once you get into it becomes second nature-ish, I enjoy it. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Have you checked the link in the OP? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

There is alot of discussion about settings. Although you'll still probably want to tweak it to your own taste, but it might get you on the right track.

P.S. Testing a version with overclock support right now. If all seems in order, I will be uploading shortly.

ShadowKernel-v1.0+OC/UV

I have another version available for those wishing to test this kernel out with overclocking. It supports voltage control, and frequency steps up to 1.4GHz.

LOL

EDIT: working well so far. OC'd to 1100 and UV'd throughout, using Conservative Guv'nor with adjusted/more sensitive parameters via SetCPU.

LOL:D

Great Job with the Kernel...So far everything is smooooth...Ill let you know how the OC version goes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
No, YAFFS2 is faster than EXT4. And we're moving to MTD because its open source, unlike BML. Without MTD, we will not have a proper working ICS build. This is keeping us in the game, so to speak. No one will force you to use MTD though, so you can be happy on ViperRom DK28, oops, i mean CyanogenMod w/ 4G working.. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] tearz4evr:
WOW...LOL...

DK28...:o

This Kernel is like a breath of fresh air...not to many O'ding OC options, governors, etc.. no offense to any OC'ers...but this does the job for me...straight to the point, smooth and stable on OC+ version at 1.1 ...:cool:

Thanks bbelos...
[Epic 4G Android Development] abhaxus:
Before I install, what steps/voltages are supported? Just wondering if its worth installing over the old one+tegrak.

I haven't found a ROM Kernel combo that has that working yet.

I flashed the kernel a few minutes ago and I noticed that my bench marking scores are lower than normal, but the real life performance seems to be about the same. I would like to see the SmartassV2 governor and the SIO I/O scheduler. I'll play with it today and see how the battery life is.

Two things I noticed about this kernel. Not really deal breakers. :D

1. USB Debugging is turned off by default.

2. It's not capable of rebooting to recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I switched to this kernel last night, after experiencing what seemed like a severe memory leak with samurai. (seemed to popup after v2)

I am no longer having the leak (ram is staying pretty stable), love the voodoo color. Everything looks sharper.

I'm using 1.0 (I don't OC - I use setCPU to set the phone @ 200 when the screen is off)

Thanks for this kernel, well done.

RK, I'm on ThunderHawk 3.2, and able to reboot to recovery from the power button option. That's how I flashed from Shadow v1.0 to v1.0 OC. And I just tried again with no issue.

I'm on CWM 5.0.2.7 (went back to it after trying ACS Recovery briefly).

On first launch, Titanium Backup reported the USB debugging off.

[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
This just goes to show benchmarks dont mean ****. ran every other kernel and now running shadow yet snappy speed and better stability. But scoring 2000 on benchmark yet when running the other kernel i got a 3000 score but froze and was unstable most the time. Mind you i did a format and clean install when testing these kernels as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yea i think bbelos needs to add a few more governors and more schedulers
[Epic 4G Android Development] finster869:
Can you guys tell me what voltage settings you find to be the best on shadow's kernel?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I'd like to add that I'm running all frequencies with no UV (for stability) and I run my phone hard. With Samurai my phone would get hot and fast. Like I fried my morning eggs on it kinda hot. With this kernel it does not. Things like quadrant fps is lower in some places... but more steady overall whereas with Samurai the fps bounced around like all hell. Especially the hallways. It would speed up and slow down and be all jittery.
