Google Voice is the best choice, sir.

(I'm a poet and don't even know it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
If you're on CM9 Beta use 6.0. The 5.0 kernel works but is outdated for this new CM9 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] debage39:
Ok sry I was wrong. I'm running alpha 5 but using 0.4 kernel. Should I flash 0.5? Or 0.6? Thanx for the reply. Ill try google voice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] debage39:
Do they all support undervolting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] GRK4G63:
Yup. Check it out: (from the OP)

"Overclocking/Undervolting support up to 1.4GHz with Voltage Control support. (Added 600, 900, 1100, 1200, 1300, & 1400)"
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
If you're running Alpha5, you can use either kernel v0.4 or v0.5. The only difference is 0.5 includes Voodoo Sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] GRK4G63:
Which reminds me, bbelos; I've been meaning to ask you:

How do you do that voodoo that you do ..so well??

Haha! ;)

Seriously, though, thank you for keeping our Epics fresh-to-death :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
lol! I'm just glad people are able to enjoy it. Thanks to everyone for the support. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
Thanks for the update. But I think you may have missed something with the new memory changes. Stock kernel reports ~382MB available to userspace.

This one reports 347MB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You're right. The reason is because a couple of the stock changes haven't been 100% approved in the review process. Once they get officially merged into the stock kernel source, I will put out a small update to include them. I suppose I could pull them is as-is if you guys start running into issues before then.

Even as it is, I have plenty of free RAM, but I'll monitor the usage as I run more apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
Just installed the latest version over CM9 beta0 and got stuck at the samsung screen. cant even boot into CWM... using Odin back to stock now.

tried to install it like normal (wipe cache/dalvik install). not sure what happened here...

You the man bbelos, thanks for the update!

ShadowKernel_v0.5.0 on Monday, then v0.6.0 (for beta0) by Friday...........guru kernel developer bbelos strikes again!...............performing beautifully, am going to leave settings alone this time: speed tests breaking this device's own personal records ;):);)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I so missed my OC/UV!
[Epic 4G Android Development] steelers_exe:
been running it all day, only problems ive had were a couple of fc's of voltage control whilst testing the undervolting. but thats just a very minor annoyance, as it still saved the work i was doing. thanks a bunch for the quick update bbelos!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
Running well.. can't get 100 MHz to stick for some reason..
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
Working beautifly! But just as a note...on the new Beta release they had a fix in that left a lot of free RAM available...around 130mb on average...after I flashed this kernel...its only around 70 to 80 on average...not a big deal since the performance is still great...just putting that out there for the crazy multi-taskers out there like myself

[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
downloaded straight to phone last time. this time i downloaded to a pc, verified md5 and then installed. worked this time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
I can't seem to get the phone to go past 1Ghz on this kernel. No matter what settings I use in voltage control it just wont OC. Everything else looks right. The kernel reads as shadow kernel 0.6 and voltage control will let me put the slider up to 1.4 so I know it flashed properly. I tried deleting the data/system/throttle and rebooting just in case there was a problem, but that didn't help either. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
You must enable those steps in the voltages page of Voltage Control.

Yellow chip icon = enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
Oh ok thanks, I've never had to do that on the other kernels I've used.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sherrillface:

[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I just experienced the ringing of death, where even though the caller has been sent to voicemail, my phone kept ringing. Yesterday, I couldn't get my screen to unlock, it wouldn't register when I touched the screen...

I'm going to try downloading again, and reinstalling.

FIXED: Must've been a bad download. Flashed CM9 to go back to stock, then re-downloaded v.06 and flashed. No more phantom charging icon and no more ringing of death.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
You mean they're changing the "stock" color? Why would they do that? I hate voodoo color and have only "ever" liked stock and no matter how much I fiddle with voodoo setting I can never get it to match. Now if they change it in the stock kernel I'm screwed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] debage39:
I flashed v5 and now for some reason I have to press 1 to answer my call even after I've already answered it. Weird. I thought it was google voice but I've uninstalled and rebooted and still does it. Anybody have a clue what's doing it. Didn't do it on v4. Please help its sooo annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It is Google voice. Log in on a PC to change your answer preferences.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It didn't change it. It made it better and more defined. Trust me, you will like it. They actually had something that they messed up on that made the colors worse.

Sent from my AOKP/MIUI Epic 4G. I am an überkanger and proud!
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Because dull colors are very dull, and Voodoo helps lol.

We all can define and make colors sharper without voodoo if we want, think like a monitor or tv settings.

What's there to hate about voodoo? settings dont stick ( color settings stick ) only thing doesn't is the amp for sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Does 100mhz stick on v 0.6.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I didn't ask for an opinion on voodoo color. I hate voodoo color. No matter how "well" I set up my settings I stick to the fact that stock looks worlds better than tweaked with voodoo color. No amount of you spamming your opinion at me across every thread I ever mention my dislike for voodoo color is going to change my mind or make you right, either.

Marc: You said they inherently had the settings incorrect and corrected it? Is that all they did? Cause as previously stated my honest opinion is that stock colors > all (personal preference) but I guess I'll just have to wait and see it for myself first to see what difference was made. Thanks for the reply Marcusant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I'm just confused I've used side by side and and their not as sharp no as colorful or enriched at all. I now its your opinion I'm not bashing I'm just hella confused.

Its like saying black n white or color. Or you can buy your car with a 10 gallon tank or if you want for same price a 12 gallon. More equals better and in both cases it makes sense to.

I'm not trying to change your thoughts and opinions but it wasn't created for nothing. Like I said do you hate how a TV has settings to increase color, hue, sharpness, contrast, etc....

The whole purpose of AMOLED is to make the colors stand out, isn't that what voodoo does but better at it to make colors more colorful?

Could please explain in detail why you dislike it with a passion so we can have a better understanding why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Because I like how "stock" looks and once voodoo color is introduced no amount of fiddling with the settings ever gets it back to how it looks stock. Also I was simply trying to find out more info on how much they changed in the stock kernel since Marcusant mentioned something in this thread. "YOU" say it's like comparing black and white to color, only for "ME" voodoo color is the black and white and stock is the color. Get it? Have your opinion. I'm not arguing what's better for who. Just for the love of god stop arguing with me about it every time I mention my opinion. I don't "care" if you agree or don't get it or don't understand. Your pushy as hell dude, stop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] funktron:
Is it possible that this kernel may be incompatible with a widget such as Scoremobile? I am getting forcecloses when Widget is enabled that I never got before (and don't recall getting in my short time keeping the ICS CM9 kernel)...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Can you explain a little more. I just installed score mobile and added the widget. I'm not getting any fc's with it. Widget seems fully functional as far as I can tell, but this is my first time using it. Does scoremobile fc for you or is it other apps? Do the fc's happen right away or over time?

EDIT: Ok, there it goes. Score Mobile FC. Have you confirmed that it works ok on the stock kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I've done some minor investigation into this issue. It's still unknown if this is a bug in CM or the kernel (it's a problem on stock as well), but I may have a workaround I'd like you to try to see if it works.

First off, don't open the Processor section of the CM Performance settings. If you've done this, you may need to take a preliminary step. I'll assume anyone using this kernel is also using the Voltage Control app to modify the OC/scheduler/governor settings.

Part A.

If you have not opened the Processor section of the Performance Settings, skip to Part B.

i. If you have checked "Set on Boot" in the Processor Performance options, go uncheck it.

ii. Exit the Processor settings and don't open it again until the bugs are gone.

iii. With ES Explorer (or whatever method you like, you'll need an app with root ability), open the file "/data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml"

iv. Scroll down until you find <string name="pref_cpu_freq_min"> (for me it's the 6th item from the bottom).

v. Changed the number from 200000 to 100000.

vi. Save and close the file.

vii. Continue with Part B

Part B.

1. Open Voltage Control and leave the minimum frequency slider at 200

2. Change whatever settings you're going to change and apply changes.

3. Now change the minimum slider to 100 and apply changes.

4. Optionally save as boot settings (i prefer init.d method over startup service).

5. Close Voltage Control.

6. Open the terminal app or use adb shell.

7. type "su" (without the quotes), allowing superuser access if requested.

8. type "echo 100000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq" (also without quotes).

Now if you re-open Voltage Control, you should see your frequency dropping to 100MHz even though the min slider is back to 200MHz. Well, that depends on your governor. A better test is to plug the phone in, reset the timers in cpuspy, and let the phone sleep for a bit. You should see the phone using 100MHz while at rest on charge.

NOTE: If you change a setting in VC later, you will need to repeat these steps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kvan1707:
I switched to conservative governor, and I get the 100mhz frequency to work.

Hey, thanks for checking! I ran the stock kernel for about 6 hours and don't recall any - but it wasn't really on my mind that time. :-) Yes, I'm kicking myself for not paying better attention. I will check and report back.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Gavisann:
I can confirm this works, but does not stick after a reboot. Maybe it could be made into a script that loads after VC applies it's settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jephro:
Anyone else having probs with a fast & constant battery drain? Thought it was CM9 & then Juice Defender maybe, killed the OC & finally reflashed to stock kern and it seems to be gone. Don't want to blame shadow unduely but just trying to nail down the prob... I like the OC/UVB and the voodoo that you doo too:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
The problem is ics it rapes the battery like there's no tomorrow
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
I can confirm Part B (w/ init.d method, not reboot) working well for me........learned sometime ago to leave CM Performance settings alone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
My battery life is fine in cm9. Hmm.

Hey bbelos,

Ran the stock kernel for about 6 hours today, had no force closes with Scoremobile...

Again, thanks for taking a look!

Really? I am having a completely different experience....I dont see ics killing battery any more than any tw gb rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] funktron:
I'm totally fine with battery life here (both on stock and ShadowKernel).

Today, had phone out and about with medium use (checking scores, playing words with friends, taking pics of kids at book festival throughout day - screen on max brightness for sunny 80-degree Arizona day) and after 8 hours, I've still got 36% left.

Sent from my Epic 4g with CM9
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Gb requires less resources so you must've been doing something run or settings in apps, etc... i can make GB die real quick and make ICS last longer vice versa.

just a simple wakelock(s) can kill your battery, Simple CPU freq. Configs (I/0 & Governor's)

Screenie's CM7 VR | Conservative with UV

2 Different Days with different types of use clearly
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
If your so happy with cm7, why don't you go post in some cm7 relevant threads? We are all using cm9. Also, one of the cm9 devs already corrected you that the lack of RAM (those resources your speaking of) isn't the factor behind additional battery drain. I myself have excellent battery life on cm9, for the record.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
well i tried CM9 beta and its killing my battery faster same setup as CM7 so ICS is the culrpit i know there are several other factors that needed to be squashed and killed for good but i 100% guarnFu*ktee lol that battery will never be the same.

its gotten better but its still not up top par as GB can is all, and the whole ICS isn't worth dying over GB for is all im saying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
You completely missed my entire point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No i got it to take my sh*t somewhere else because you feel like that its irrelevant. i was just talking to him commenting that its not just him that ICS drains the battery but other reason i know of, but some do get good battery life and others dont.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
If some get good battery life and some don't guess what "isn't" the variable in the equation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
lemme guess "battery drain", but its too funny though everything is a factor.

Ex. My Epic vs Friends Epic running same setup:

Mine runs hotter but is faster when it comes to performance, his runs cooler but slower, mine can OC to 1.5GHz+ his barely handles 1.3GHz, my battery (Testing Stock OEM) doesn't last as long as his does too with the same usage averaging about.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It doesn't matter ;) use what you want to use. Nobody is forcing anyone to use anything.

I installed .6 yesterday on cm9 beta 0. I did not installed voltage control.

My phone is doing 100mhz with no problem, deep sleep no problem, and battery life (over the last 24 hours) seems at least as good as stock cm9 beta 0.

Thanks for the kernel!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Those two guys should get a room already...LOL. The CM9 issue is not RAM but the series of wakelocks not letting the phone sleep continuously. The keep awake time on most of us is easily double the screen on time. But it gets better with every release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Never mind, complete brain fart.

FWIW, I was asking if there was any update to the 'missing RAM' mention a few pages back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slick_rick:
What app is recommended for over/underclocking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
There's Still SetCPU but depreciated,

Recommended though is Voltage Control better App better features more updated to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Didn't bb say some of the ram stuff wasn't included in 0.6 because he was waiting for some upstream stuff?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Yup, exactly that. I was waiting for an updated kernel to include it, so I posted a question about it. I somehow missed the VERY next post where bbelos explained that. I think he's going to wait for the next kernel to come out and then release an updated kernel based on that.

I could be off though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
Why do you have to start **** with everyone in every thread I see you post in? And stop using unnecessary quotes around words that have no relevance. You want to capitalize for emphasis, not quote.

But on topic, this is an awesome kernel bbelos and I'm looking forward to the updated kernel with that extra 34 mb of ram (;
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I don't start **** with everyone in every thread. If you wanna accuse me of something make it an accurate accusation. I will also emphasize words however I choose to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blankrubber:
Bbelos, I don't have anything showing up in my directory root/data... I believe it should be added that in ES Explorer, you must hit menu > settings and check "Up to Root" AND "Root Explorer..." For noobs like me =).

Started with method A to be safe, then used method B, and I'm hitting 100Mhz now using Samurai's latest kernel for CM9 Beta0, SmartassV2 governor, and VR I/O. Not sure if it'll survive a reboot yet.

Heya bbelos,

The developer of Scoremobile updated the app yesterday, and now it plays just fine with your awesome kernel.

Thanks for any work you did looking into it!!!

Hello everyone.. I have a problem.. I have cm9 beta 1, installed shadow kernel and my screen is all green... Any solution or i have a wrong download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
Not sure if the current kernel works with CM beta 1 as they changed some stuff but i'm a noob so i don't know if they made significant kernel changes. the green screen usually is you go into vodoo color and lower your gamma (your green is too high.) i just reset and reselect punchy settings and it usually fixes it. Brave man. I like to run stock for a bit though anyway before installing custom kernels
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rafosky:
I believe that shadow kernel is not yet updated to use in beta 1. Maybe that's the reason...
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
Wow. I use:

R = -55

G = -55

N = -36

I love how it looks too! The screen is kinda dark, but it has incredibly deep blacks and dark blues, but the lighter blues and whites really pop. If course my whites have a bit of a bluish tint, but I think it looks great with the blue ics theme. The only ****ty thing is, if I lower the brightness below a certain level (maybe 15%) the entire screen tints green or yellow. But with the values I'm using I never have to dim it that much. Plus, I think it's a small price to pay for my screen to look as incredible as it does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmoney7979:
I see.. But it happend when i had the previous cm9 too... So at the time i went back to cleangb but i thought with the cm9 beta1 wud of be diff.. I think i fvk up.. Oh well thanz
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
You don't have do anything but just reinstall the cm9 beta 1 zip again and it'll overwrite the kernel without wiping your data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Those values (27.34.40) were quoting bbelos' stock or standard settings........of course, he goes on to encourage individuals to experiment + establish a more personalized set of values..........after all, every one of us has very different retinas thru which we experience color + brightness (+ darkness) on our devices!...........am gonna have to check out your 55's! :)
