let me know what you think of em. they look great with a blue theme, like blue mist or infinitum or whatever its called, prolly kgblues too. it makes the blues srsly POP! also, jfyi, the rgb values i use are in the red = 1560000000, green = 1560000000, and blue 2793000000 range. i can never get em exact of course, but anything close will give you the jist of it. plus you can fine tune from there to your more particular liking. look forward to hearing what you think of em.

When I flashed the beta0 kernel for my Epic that was on beta0, it would boot up, freeze and then reboot itself. At first I thought the issue was something else other than the kernel, and to test it, I flashed the test kernel that was up on the Epic CM blog. It booted up perfectly and everything was working fine. I re-downloaded and re-flashed the kernel and my phone booted up, froze and restarted itself again. I flashed beta1 which fixed the problem. Not really sure why the kernel does this since I have been using ShadowKernel since alpha0 without problems. Just thought I'd let you guys and the dev know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FtL1776:
I'm probably an idiot, but every time I try the OC, it just stays at 1000mhz won't go up to above that even if I notice it up to 1100 minimum it won't go above 1000.

What am I missing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
That's weird. Did you check the md5 before flashing?

On another note, here's an updated kernel. I'll say updated for beta1, although I have not removed mdnie. I would like more time to test it. BUT it includes the update for more available RAM, which is nice. Try it out, let me know if there are any problems. I will still be adding in a few more things when I have a chance.

**Updated for Beta1**

Awesome! Gonna try it now! Thanks!!!

Ugh still nothing after the update, someone help an idiot out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Works great Bbelos but I am having trouble getting the voodoo colors to look right. You had those great defaults with the first TW kernels. I have had to crank the blue way up to the 330's to get the blacks good. But it still looks like it needs teaking on my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You need to use the Voltage Control app to enable frequencies above 1000, I have them disabled by default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Did you swipe to the right and then enable the speeds you want to run by clicking on them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I haven't adjusted anything to affect the color. I'm not sure what to tell you except if you have adjusted the colors, your settings will save even if you reflash the kernel. They should stay even when flashing new CM releases if you don't wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
U da man!!!!

There was me using the temp boot kernel with mdnie enabled, and then you came with 0.6.1 with Voodoo.

Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FtL1776:
I figured it out, was clicking the frequencies under voltage, not realizing you push the CPU icon, I was wondering why 200mhz disappeared...

Nicely done, my test for CPUs isn't benchmarks but StuckInCustoms.com, and it runs great, flicks that do it really fast eventually start checkerboarding in the ICS browser, but its a lot better than stock frequencies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thank goodness for that. I don't think the defaults are the same as they were in the TW kernel. Sonarchist gave me numbers but those are way too yellow and brown. I guess I will have to play with it which is what I didn't like about voodoo color to begin with.

If someone has good numbers where blue ends up in the 300's to get rid of through yellows I would like to try them. Tbanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
This referring to Samsung-SGH-1717, w/ different resolution + screen size + set of values? Or the Epic?........shouldn't really matter, just wondering what ShadowKernel might be like on the Note (?).............haven't yet experienced 6.1, but am looking forward to it as it makes a huge difference to my ability to tweak (maximally) the visual aspect of my Epic4G.

i was waiting for the update so i could flash beta1, im too spoiled with the awesomeness it brings to my screen and sounds. one thing though, for some reason, im trying to make a nandroid, but CWM gives me "error while backing up boot image". anybody else get this? i just went crazy and flashed beta1, shadowkernel, the did the v6supercharger back to back, maybe thats it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
....while still in recovery, if you have one: try to restore an already existing MTD Nandroid, (but do a 'wipe data/factory reset' prior to restore of your Nandroid).......THEN reboot to system, if all is OK, power off + boot to RECOVERY.........NOW, try your beta1 install + immediately follow w/ GAPPS while in recovery (necessary w/ beta1) ......... THEN reboot to system........check data + email clients etcetera......then proceed to flash ShadowKernel + v6supercharger (perhaps separately?)........you should be in good shape by now :p:);)
[Epic 4G Android Development] steelers_exe:
just to make sure, if i backed up my apps and system data with TB prior to all this, then do the wipe data/factory reset, once i get everything set up i can just restore the apps and preferences without problem? or would this not be recommended?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Nah. That is my work phone . Just use it on wifi at home because its easier to read. On wifi it don't use any of their data (cap) and it becomes my 5.3" tablet. Different hardware in it. Can't even flash anything other than root without triggering the flash counter (so far).

I am still talking about my old faithful Epic. CM9 must need different values than the TW ROMs did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
YES......your wipe will not affect sd card backup (as an added precaution, remove sd card.......then place it back in after your flash...........just make sure the device is off + battery is out when removing, as we're being conservative about this; edit, come to think of it NO, you have all of your zips --including ShadowKernel in sd card, so nvm, leave sd card IN for these rounds......remove only for ODIN.)

..........sent from today's android = 4.0.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Thought this might be the case.......not much going on in development yet for the Note, too new? but good candidate for Shadow goodness, no?.............standard v6 color settings are better than ever on my Epic...........wondering: if setting changes are migrating, how would we neutralize 'em back to sq 1?

Thanks for this, bbelos! Loving the extra free RAM, phone is running smoother than ever and battery life is still amazing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
Will the new kernel work on aokp
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ah...good point. Maybe clear data in Voodoo control app and reflash the kernel? Bbelos? Or he could post the default values and I can try them in case mine had some other values.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steelers_exe:
sadly, no go. getting same results. dont know if it may be related, but when go to advanced in recovery mode to wipe dalvik, when i select wipe dalvik cache, i get a "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" message. it still wipes dalvik though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
'Data wipe/factory reset' wipes dalvik, cache, everything......no worries......fr 'backup and restore' you locate + restore your MTD nandroid (Nandroid is in sd card, so leave it in this round) reboot system.........ignore that error message (dalvik has been already erased.)..........be sure to have all of your downloads --including ShadowKernel_v0.6.1-- ready in sd card for your next round w/ recovery (CWM5.0.2.7.....CWM5.5.0.4)..........so you can show us how ShadowKernel is working out for you! ;)

alright, ill give this a try.

man, when i flashed beta1+gapps and was checking the data and clients, i realized what a huge difference ShadowKernel makes. i dont even update CM9 till this kernel is up to date. haha

Running at 1300 MHz and it is amazing!!!. Praying my CPU doesn't fry:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] tmcwilliam01:
The processor is really a 1.2 but it got under clocked on this phone for some reason. You will be fine. You're not really pushing it at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
yep yep, i remember saying that to everyone back in the good ol froyo days haha, but yeah it was under-clocked because to save battery and 1GHz was the frame nothing higher at the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
What are the proper steps to go from CM9 to running ShadowKernel maintaining the 100mhz step and ability to deep sleep? Flashed it about a dozen times tonight and everytime within a couple reboots its stuck at 200mhz. Can someone walk me through it like I'm a child? The instant I attempt to change anything in either VoltageControl or the CM9 performance settings, the 100 mhz step disappears.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
.....just as a rule of thumb, once you install ShadowKernel, it's preferred to limit changes to use of VoltageControl only, leaving CM9 performance settings alone, or you may lose deep sleep, 100MHz, + other features.

..........sent from today's android = 4.0.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Just tried doing that. Reflashed CM9, then ShadowKernel and then installed voltage control. The instant I touched anything it got stuck on 200mhz. Nothing I did could bring back the 100mhz step. Then I reflashed CM9, then Shadowkernel and then installed SetCPU. SetCPU would allow me to set the 100mhz step, but it would literally change on its own to 200mhz and then back to 100mhz every couple seconds. Its like its fighting to maintain the 100mhz step against something. This makes no sense and it never used to be this hard to use ShadowKernel or Samurai on any previous rom.

by the way sonarchist, i had no success. everything is up and running without any problems, i just cant backup my rom. its not a deal breaker by any means, but its kinda annoying. you wouldnt happen to be able to point me in the direction of someone who can make sense of the recovery log CWM provides you with, would you? i already sent it off, but id like to know if theres any way i could fix it myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Looks like you're going about things direct from 3-finger boot to recovery (not rom mgr, not cm9) + you're using cwm5.0.2.7 (cwm5.5.0.4).......something broke your backup, but even from a quick analysis, this shouldn't be happening......it's the sorta stuff known ie 'ACS cwm not playing nice w/ CM9' that would tend to create conflict........itmt, backup your sd card (remove fr device, reader to pc msd port, then copy entire card to folder on pc for safekeeping) is the temp prudent thing to do as the backup conflict resolves out.

(DL 'sdcardtester' fr mkt.......will help you rule out potential sd card conflict w/ backup)

steelers_exe linked the post, but I have also added it to an FAQ section in the second post of this thread. I will go through the thread and try to add more Q/A's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
That is probably because the screen dims when on low battery. Right now on MIUI.US I get the green tint when I shut the screen off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
I've got a weird bug to report... if you set up your default on voltage control then wipe/clear the cpu history and shut the screen off go back into vc and it reverts back to unsaved settings it actually does also when you don't clear the cpu history whatsup with that? :(

Actually it does it if you simply back out of the app the reopen it. It reverts back to unsaved...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I noticed this too. I don't think the stock kernel (and thus mine) are processing init.d scripts. Get the newest voltage contol and save the settings as a startup service instead of init.d script. I will look into adding init.d support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
I don't have it setup as an init.d script its setup as startup service I'm talking about oping the app going into appling my default settings closing the app reopening it and it reverts back to unsaved not shutting down nor shutting the screen off :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
did anyone say ..... "banner" ?

http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb374/TexasEpic/ShadowKernel2.png
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Oh sorry, I misunderstood. But I can't reproduce this. My settings are staying saved. Where are you clearing your cpu history? I reset the timers in cpu but maybe you're talking about something else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
It happens reguardless its weird ill unistall and reinstall and reflash to see if that helps...

No such luck looks like I need to start fresh I guess cuz it occurs on aprosamurais kernel as well and even in the preformance settings it reverts its so weird...:(

I'm soooo stupid the 100mhz frequency is broken and I set that as my lowest and it reverts to 200 by default :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
this kernel seems more stable than apro samurai's, but it lacks voodoo sound? I wish it wasn't so!
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
I was having the green screen problem as well. Its because the screen is too dim. I turn automatic brightness off and had it the lowest it would go. After turning my screen up to a higher brightness, it went away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
Thanks Bbelos! I swear you are soo fast at these updates!

So what settings are you all finding works best with CM9? what I/o Scheduler and CPU governor combination works best?

What voltages, undervolts? What is deactivated ? I know some of you are kernel setting masters, share your settings with us kernel noobs! Thank you

Ok y'all don't flame me for asking but is anybody having any issues running this with Alpha 1?

[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
I will add my thanks for the quick turn-around with this kernel! Nicely done!!

I have one question - I remember on the earlier kernels for gingerbread there was an issue where the soft keys stayed lit the whole time the phone was in the dock. Will this be a problem with this kernel?

If no one knows the answer, I can test it out tonight because the dock stays near my bed.

Update: I have confirmed that the soft keys do not turn off while in the dock. Can I request this feature for a future release?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
When I first installed CM9 I made some test calls to see if the quality was alright, and it was, with just plain ol' stock CM9. Today I flashed the shadow kernel and I noticed the call quality was weird to the point where I can hear myself, maybe a feedback issue. Kinda weird, not sure where to go next from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Test other kernels to make sure this isn't happening? and to confirm its either kernel or ROM related. But if it only happens once a while its Samsung haha even on stock it did that to me every now an again.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
It has nothing to do with this or any other kernel. It's ROM related. It's due to the currently used audio drivers. This has been stated many times and is on the main Epic CM info page as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah but Samurai and RYU use different drivers versus stock kernel if im not mistaken.

adjust voodoo color...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Gamma levels are to low when waking the phone off it takes a while for the color balance, thus green screen. Like the poster previous to mine said adjust voodoo color levels up slightly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FtL1776:
I'm getting a weird problem, didn't notice it before I got this Kernel.

Its essentially, unlock the phone, it seems fine, the pulse animation of the unlock circle is goes smoothly, the back ground is running smoothly, but nothing responds to my taps, the power menu or the lock screen.

Then when I lock it again it discolors the things on the screen and this being the only way to fix the problem is you wait for the screen to turn off and unlock it and it will work fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I've had this happen before; ended up needing to reflash the kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Weird. Looks like the "punchy" preset and lower causes the green flash. I have always used the "punchy" preset with voodoo color and never had that happen before on Gingerbread or Froyo. Using a fair bit to the left of "punchy" right now, so looks like I'll have to live with it for the moment.

Anybody else getting really high mmc_delayed_work kernel lock on this kernel? I am getting over an hour and a half. Could this be voodoo color related? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Isn't that a cm thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Mmc_delayed_work is *usually* an issue regarding SD. I would backup files you need from your SD, format it, put the files you need back on (organized a bit into folders) and put files called .nomedia (the dot is intended) where you don't want to get media scanned. I would also install an SD speed tweak app and set it to 2048.

I now do not notice any issues with mmc.
