Regarding Voodoo Sound

Heh, I wasn't sure if that happened within this Alpha or the next but I'm sure now.

I don't know if anyone follows Supercurio on Twitter and saw him have a nervous breakdown regarding this same "issue" which was coming up. Team Hacksung had changed the naming convention involving that of Voodoo Sound to allow users to actually be able to use DSP Manager to the potential it's meant to be able to used, which caused Voodoo Sound to be "broken" when interfacing through a custom kernel. I've just verified this on my end as well as using Shadow Kernel to across the board see if this is what in all actuality was happening. If you own the Pro version you can still inject the modules though the free version may be able to as well? Please feel free to correct me on both of those statements. But this issue has nothing to with the kernel, it's just something which is being worked out between CyanogenMod and Supercurio.

Hopefully this clears anything up. If you happen to be on a past Alpha(which isn't suggested as with Alpha's being up to date is a good thing.) all should be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
I just noticed my voodoo sound is also no longer working. I know it was working yesterday on alpha 5 and kernel 7. Then I flashed to 7-1 and voodoo sound disappeared. Color still worked. Never changed from the latest version of the voodoo app. I flashed back to 7 and voodoo sound is back, so something must have changed with the kernel since it definitely works on alpha 5 with the previous kernel.

7-1 did seem to fix the issue I had of not being able to set 100 MHz as minimum.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pacorocko:
I don't mind downgrading until it all gets figured out. Do you happen to still have a link for 1.7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ignore my previous post, though there is an issue of the sort currently going on, we're not subject to it, at least as far as I'm aware. Though Shadow Kernel and 1.7-1 are for some odd reason suffering from the same issue.

I'll post up a link to Shuriken1.7 and ShurikenVoodoo1.7, none of my recent commits touched Voodoo Sound though my toolchain had crapped out on me, only things related to Voltage Control were touched as that's all that needed to be tinkered with. Though, at this current I'll work at it later on, or tomorrow perhaps. It's not necessarily a game breaking issue. But it'll surely be looked into, I just need to take a little break from it currently.

I've come to a long running point, I'm going to close the thread and step back from Kernel Development for a little while, though I've full intent to come back to it if I need to. I don't mean to leave anyone who uses my kernel hanging at all, as that wasn't the intent, so for that I do sincerely apologize. But as I went along I ended up not enjoying it as much and successfully ran myself straight into the ground and burning out on this constant focus of it that I essentially blinded myself from my overall goal.

So I'll be back up and at it in time, as well as still active on the site, but just stepping back at this, thanks for all your comments and criticism(as it was needed take my word for it hehe) it truly made this a worthwhile experience. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I never used your kernel, but just put it on my SD a bit ago, planning on testing it out. Regardless, I know I appreciate all the help you've given, especially within the CM9 realm. Your answers to a varitey of different questions have always been with the best intent, and you didn't seem to let the....um....uneducated get to you.

Thanks for all your help and I hope you continue to support the community in one way or another.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
It's all good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I flash everyones kernels it's the only way to find out if certain changes should be patched into samurai, also I would like to say thank you to apro for getting something up so close to what the samurai kernel is for people to use. ;) a few minor tweaks and it's just about samuraized, lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Alright, I've added in TUN, CIF, TCPMSS(Forgot to initially and k0nane reminded me by asking for it) build version will now reflect the actual CM9/ICS version as it should. I'll work on getting in the localversion so it at least says Shuriken somewhere, as I've stopped dabbling with ro.build.display in default.prop heh.

And I'll also clean up the OP as much as possible later on.

You're talking about zanderman112 right? lol

Yeah, I do give me a sec, I noticed it was being slow-ish.

Ehhh, it's no problem brother. :) It's the great work of many others, I'm only sharing what I use personally.

Lol no problem, I'm sure Samurai Kernel will be up and running on CM9 too, it's not too much of a drastic change, just a couple commits from their branch, and the newer initramfs.

this is so frkn incredible. i dont get to visit xda for a coupla days and i come back today and what is waiting for me?? ICS, cm9, two new kernels and OMFG!!! our dev team is incredible, all of you, and i seriously mean that. you guys inspire me to learn more and more about this incredible software so that i can contribute as well. since mtd became a reality for the epic we've seen a huge increase in development after a boring little slump that seems to have started as soon as i bought my epic. now, with cm9/ics a possibility i've a feeling we'll see an even bigger increase in development. its an exciting time for epic owners, and im proud to be a member of this community. thanks for the kernel ap, cant wait to go on a flashing spree once i get done with some actual work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Can anyone tell me what a 3.x kernel is? It sounds epic, just wish I knew what it was XD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Its a newer Linux kernel version.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Thanks! That's what came up on google search but I wasn't sure it applied to android phones lol. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
thanks for this, first custom kernel I've ever flashed for any cm version (7 or 9) that didn't give me hundreds of force closing thank you for this!
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Well Android is derived from Linux so..... But yeah it does apply.

IMHO any custom kernel is better than the stock kernel. Its been proven in every way imaginable there are only a few benefits of having stock but nothing to cry over and would want to make you stay on stock that is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Updated some gamma values at the consideration of discussion with bbelos, as well as updated the recovery initramfs to match that of the current Alpha 1. Should fix recovery scrolling. Enjoy. :)

Small things such as recovery values naturally won't be worth an update in the future, I'm just trying to keep this as close to stock without too much modification so nothing random can occur.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Thanks bud. All is well. This kernel is a-okay for anyone wondering.

Sent from something with a Ｋモ尺れモㄥ.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Just want to reiterate, the random green still occurs if your gammas are too low, I just wanted to get people away from the red, yellow screen they were having as that didn't look too good, you can always modify with the Voodoo Control app, I apologize for any inconveniences which occur due to it. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
Thanks for the update. This kernel works great with CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Not a problem at all. :) I'll keep up as much as I can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
Thanks much Apro. It's great to have the two galaxy s essentials right off the bat; Voodoo sound and color.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
It's it just me or does this kernel not like to be overclocked? I can get 1.3 stable, but 1.4 almost always results in the phone locking up and force reboot..also gets noticeably hotter when locked up, kernel making the processor go crazy if overclocked too much? Could be something within the rom..but shadow did not freeze at 1.4 (just need my voodoo sound)..i have started just pulling the battery when it locks up at this point, not trying to melt my cpu..

It looks like the dev host file for shuriken is corrupt. I downloaded it twice and it was only 60kb

This shouldn't have any issues with the second alpha release should it?

Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G #knowdat!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Depends on if the source kernel changes then it won't boot or function the way its meant to until apro updates it to the source :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Sorry for my delayed replies or lack thereof, I've been trying to fight off the flu for a bit.:/

Not a problem at all man, it's what I use normally. :)

With overclocking YMMV as always but my kernel is nowhere near the best one in that area if you're looking to do so, bbelos or earthbound would be more ideal in that area, my kernel is meant so that users can have a close to stock kernel experience, so that radical bugs don't occur and that they're cross compatible occurences happening on both ends. So from my own opinion you'd be better trying Samurai, or Shadow, they'd suit your needs better. :)

Hope that was of help.

Thanks man, I'll surely look into it, and make sure for you. Did the mediafire mirror work?

No, as the CM team has said we're not going to have nightlies for this, it may seem as though some are but that's to erradicate annoying bugs in which they found fixes for, otherwise all major issues people are having are from upstream issues. But the next update is a kernel one, and once it's pushed I'll add it in. But nothing should prevent it from booting, but depending on how I'm feeling from my flu later I'll catch it 20 minutes after it's released.

It's likely the latter lol, it probably won't function the way it was intended with the newer stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Uv with voodoo sound? Count me in :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
I have to have my voodoo sound...so shadow isn't an option but haven't tried samurai.. this one is working fairly well any reason the voodoo color settings won't save on reboot?

Sent from someone using something with some kind of thing that sent this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Afaik, that happens across the board on kernels using Voodoo Color, but I can be wrong. I'll look more into it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Shadow kernels saves voodoo color on boot... samurai and this one don't yet... hope you all get it figured out cuz I love voodoo sound but its annoying resetting voodoo color after every reboot...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Hmmm, I see what you're saying, I'll look into it, thanks for pointing it out.

Edit:

On Shadow Kernel for CM7? Or the current CM9 one? Just to verify.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Cm9 shadow kernel...

Edit- fyi biggoron is who says they stick with shadow... not on cm9 to try it but biggoron is usally pretty relaible...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Getting a lot of lag and steps can not be disabled through voltage control. It let's you disable them from within the app but the cpu still scales to them regardless of setting. Voodoo sound setting doesn't stick also. Probably moving back to stock. Still looks to be a great kernel in the works here though. I would scrap the 1400 step unless it can be stablized. Pretty much insta-freeze and force reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
+1 on the 1400 step :(

It seems that the available kernels are all good at their own thing lol

Stock is stock (no voodoo, no OC, stable, but phooey!)

Shadow will save color..but no voodoo sound, no OC? (Maxing out at 1000 mHz, even though 1400 is listed)

Samurai has voodoo sound and OC's stable but Hotspot does not work and color resets..

Shuriken so far has both color and sound, OC's stable to 1200-1300 (though not sure which is best, only had one test on 1300 freeze, but for safety back to 1200), hotspot works, but color settings reset and OC frezes at Max OC within seconds of toggling 1400 :(

May be other issues between them, but if you can manage to get them all together we have one fine kernel for CM9 :p Can't wait for one of them to work proper..someone call me when you get these to work (j/k)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
He doesn't like over clock. Deal with it. I am sure it freezes because he likes to keep it at safe voltages and not to overvolt too much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
That isn't the main down side, is that only one that saves color settings does not have voodoo sound..the other two have those issues plus weird cpu speed bugs..not trying to complain and am happy to deal with it :)

I was actually saying the next build should have the 1.4 removed to avoid the issue altogether

I personally can't wait to see;

Voodoo sound and color with settings that save on reboot

Stable oc at least 1.3ghz (it is ics and will be pushing more intense apps soon i hope..)

But i know it's super early in development im happy to have what i do have..maybe this would be a good time to start breaking kernels and learning to compile myself? Working hard to learn java now..taking an 'app-oriented approach' btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] HelloM0f0:
For me the settings don't stick for both shadow kernel (cm9) and this one. Not a big deal though. Thanks for your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Not a problem. :) I removed 1.4 but I herp derped somewhere in adjusting it lol, so I'm looking into what I may have missed and fixing that before I commit it to my repo. Talking to bbelos he doesn't think his saves it either(but hasn't personally confirmed), but neither of us noticed that because we're fine with the defaults, but it's being looked into nonetheless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Actually I concur this kernel does save settings as well as shadow kernel samurai is now the only one that doesn't at least for me....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Awe no 1.4 boo! :)

Earthbound where are you!? :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Actually I redact saying I removed it haha, something else went wrong. And Earthbound is about to put out another, so those who enjoy overclocking can ideally jump to over to that. :)

No need to surpass 1.2ghz in my opinion :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Updated 2nd post.

Added in RNDIS, network tethering over USB to be simple, it's currently broken within the Rom I believe as an upstream type deal, but it's included in regardless for it's future uses. As well as removed the 1.3 and 1.4 steps, so now it tops off at 1.2, hope all is working well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
THX 4 That Update ;)

​
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
This is the only kernel other than the ones by bbelos that my phone actually likes. The developer is really cool and has the same ideas that I had when I was attempting to make a kernel. I hate overclocking over even 1.1 ghz and at most 1.2. I also don't like increased frame caps or other random crazy tweaks. The steps are calculated by toad life and he did a good job on them as it scales good
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I'd like to strongly reiterate this, please do not go into the CM9 thread and mention a bug when you're running my kernel, bbelos's kernel, or earthbound's kernel. Especially when you're overclocking, you can't for a second expect anything good in battery life from that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
that makes so little sense it hurts my head. lets assumed he didnt like overclocking at all, wouldnt the logical thing be to not enable it rather than being due to him liking to keep it safe?

anyways for the guy having issues with the 1400 step are you undervolting at all? you could try over volting if thats still possible but that is not recommended as its been stated that it isnt good to run your cpu past its stock voltage as it wasnt designed for that.

and thank you apro for the awesome work with this. choice is a good thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Nice work man :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Hehe, everytime I come onto XDA there's always something that's worth comprehending but at the same time not worth trying to comprehend man haha. All's good though. And you're welcome bro. I just wanted to get something out which wasn't too far from stock, but not too far from custom.

I'd like you to know that all I saw when (attempting) to read your post was Katy Perry, thank you very much.:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Well 1.2 is techinically stock frequency any way right? And it's strange but when I updating kernel to 1.3, I could no longer open Control Freak :o, but you never said it was supported anyway so I guess it's nbd. :P oh and also, everytime I set min frequency to 100MHz it goes back to 200MHz..
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Stock is 1.0 not 1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No it its 1.2GHz Samsung Under-clocked it to 1.0GHz thus, saving battery and that was the margin back in 2010 to be in the 1GHz frame.

Some phones dont like 100MHz for some reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Please oh please bring back 1.3..... pretty please :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Stock is 1.0ghz. What is the epic on on stock? 1.0ghz. The processor is capable of 1.2ghz as a standard but is clocked at 1.0ghz. It is not underclocked, whatever the manufacturer puts it on before the user gets it is stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Your right, but the processor is rated @ 1.2GHz Stock. I have seen that processor and i have talked to those who make micro chips and even @ my School those who are in that field told me as well its stock @ 1.2GHz but they just deleted the Freq. in the table. And clocked it to 1.0GHz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Yes but we are talking about the epic stock and not the chip stock. Technically stock recommended for this phone is 1.0ghz but the chip is rated at 1.2. Samsung made the software and kernel so they didn't remove 1.2, they just never put it in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Well yeah obviously. but he was saying that our "processor" not the actual phone.

So when we OC to 1.2GHz technically we not overclocking haha. Were overclocking the "phone" but not the actual processor. So that's why i was going along the lines of saying 1.2GHz was stock. But anyways i'm still waiting to calibrate my new battery and wait for CM9 to take a better turn at stabilization.

For those on CM9 with this kernel what is your average consumption of battery life your getting with moderate usage?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ahhh, I've not been using third party applications I've just been scaling when testing within the built in settings to do so, my phone is at 100 at it's minimum level currently. But all phones are not made the same to be honest, hmmm.

Ahh I'm sorry man, most things would be about choice but in this instance I had to make an executive choice at the time and chose to remove that as well so that unforeseen incidents don't occur. I apologize for that but I don't foresee myself adding it back in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Has disabling steps within voltage control been fixed yet? This happened before with 2.3 kernels and ended up being an updated fix that needed to be integrated into the kernel for the app. If it's not something you feel you'll concern yourself with that's fine I'll keep my eyes open and test others, but I like your frequency table and the "stricty based off stock" simplicity of your kernel, just wanna be able to disable one or two of the steps properly. That and volume amp staying in the voodoo settings after reboot. The rest of the voodoo sound settings stay however.
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
I just wanted to mention if anyone else is having 3G data issues with the stock CM9 kernel, flashing this kernel fixed it for me. I will keep monitoring this and return with any changes to that. Thanks OP!
