install_su.sh is in sbin folder of my initramfs, su and busybox are in tmp polder. The script installs both when you first boot your phone :).

EDIT: You know what you are an adventures guy I believe :). Try to flash my rooted kernel kernel2.tar.md5 than flash original kernel (only kernel) from your firmware. You need to extract it from your firmware tar and repack only kernel in new tar file and sign it with md5sum. Can you do this? Cause I think that this could work, and you'll have the root access. If this will work, I can just upload tar files of other original firmwares, and every body can have root access.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] kilsmap:
yeah...why not...i think the initramfs are the same, right? you can check the one i uploaded here for mb-14... if it's the same, then we can just compile the existing initramfs with different kernels for others... that would be much simpler...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mb-14:
That is a not a good idea since you will have to unpack-modify-repack the kernel image for every new update from samsung.

There are two things you can do here:

Either get your device supported by Mobile Odin which has a feature known as EverRoot which allows you to root a stock kernel while flashing it.

Or you could build CWM recovery for your device and create a root procedure as I did for Galaxy Ace Plus

Now for CWM recovery i need the following stuff:

Execute these commands from shell while in root:

dd bs=4096 if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/image1.img

dd bs=4096 if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/image2.img

Post me image1 and image2.

So you have managed to root your phone :)? I am sorry not to add you on google + yet, I was offline whole weekend, needed some time off from the computer :D. I am back to work now, after I will republish the root method, I am thinking of trying to port the recovery.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] kilsmap:
Yeah, thanks to you, mate.. But in my case, I've modified the install-su.sh script, to include busybox installation, and also symlinking the su (I followed the zergRush script).. I'm not even sure if the modified kernel is stable or not, because I directly flash the stock kernel after rooting the phone.. But now I'm having problems with Bluetooth, it seems that A2DP playback is stuttering a little, and I can't point out the problem..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] qzem:
That is strange, I don't have any problems with bluetooth or anything else. I just left the install_su.sh script as it was.

EDIT: You should try to catch the problems with logcat. You probably know how to do this? Just connect your phone on pc, run adb logcat >> logcat.txt, and try using you BT. Maybe something will come up.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] kilsmap:
Yeah, quite strange.. When streaming songs through bluetooth only.. The stuttering is not too often, but noticeable when you really know the song.. I'm using bluetooth headset for music, wireless and easier..

Thanks everyone

Just wanted to thank everyone here for the hard work! I´ve been following this thread from the beginning, and all of the other threads about our device (rom, kernel, themes), and you are all doing a great job.

I wish I had more coding experience to help, but then I´d also need the extra time... and that doesn´t come around easy.

So a big THANK YOU to you all for taking the time to make our phone even better.

I've been working on a new device config from Freexperia sources (posted from diego-ch and antonio8297 some pages ago) but as much as they are cleaner and clearer than the I9100 one, they are based on CM9 and I'm trying to understand which change is CM9 related and which is different due to the device (for instance a huge amount of proprietary files in the xperia config doesn't exists in our phone)

I'll try asking if there are freexperia cm7 device sources because I wasn't able to find them (only the resulting rom)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] antonio8297:

Finally....

Because of my old pc, it took me nearly 7 hours to rebuild and test my custom kernel.... :(

this kernel is BETA version.. it's based on diego-ch's kernel source.

Features:

TWRP Recovery,

more cpufreq governors,

sio and vr io schedulers,

init.d script support,

increase physical memory of mali gpu(it feels more smooth),

Misc tweak...

i recommend you to flash it via 'dd' ..

$su
#busybox dd if=/where_you_put_the_files/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

i plan to add bfq and more governors after next week:)..

BTW, if your phone cannot boot after flashing it, please flash your stock kernel.bin.md5 via Odin. Don't flash whole firmware, or your phone will be unroot !

and , if you feel your battery life time is reduced, please write these code in /system/build.prop or apply it via init.d .

pm.sleep_mode=0

Thanks to everyone who helped me! :)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
I already had a test kernel with init.d support and more cpu governors (interactive, lionheart, smartass2) which works fine.

also added bfq i/o scheduler, but bfq scheduler breaks the j4fs driver - so no luck on that for now.

the sources are on my github repo for quite a few days.

I think we should work as a team.

we have quite few people now working on the same things ( cpu governors, i/o schedulers, init.d scripts, )

and thats not good because we loose time.

we could create a team to mantain this kernel,

a new github repo with the sources and the device configs, etc...

I couldnt think of any good name haha. ( 'team janice' doesnt look good in portuguese... :P )

@varun.chitre15

you have some good names for your work... any suggestion?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Well what if we use my github account as repo for our team?

ThunderZap is pretty good name for our kernel, isn't it?

And btw my kernel has few more features :D

The more stuff is

1. Sakuractive Governor, Pegasusq governor

2. Git implementation of SHA-1 for 13% faster boot process

3. PM_FAST for faster wifi

4. NTFS File system support

5. ISO-9660 file system support

6. SWAP Support.

7. Increased READ_AHEAD size for faster sd card

8. Disabled f_mass_storage write cache for faster USB Mass storage write speed

9. Many tweaks for improved network receiption.

I am still learning how to use github :P

Regarding Team name here are some suggestions :D

1. Team Blisshazard

2. Team Techsilver

3. Team Andromonster

4. Team Blackout

5. Team Fluorandro

6. Team DragonEx

7. Team SpinGlow

How are these :D?

BTW I've setup a CM9 building machine at work and started the first test builds based on Freexperia configs, seems a lot more clean than CM7 based on Galaxy SII configs.

From Monday on I should be able to work a little bit more on this, I was busy with my Big sis wedding that took place yesterday.

dd is a command in terminal..

you need to install android terminal first.

put the kernel.bin.md5 to /sdcard

open the terminal app

after phone reboot, you will see the result, :)

Hi Everyone,

I am facing a weird problem with my s advance and I was wondering if any of you guys have the same issue. Sometimes the games that I launch are very laggy with stuttering frame rate and jerky, this problem disappears when a quit and relaunch those games a couple of times. Sometimes the performance is fine and I dont need to relaunch. This only happens with 3d games like windup knight, shadowgun, blood and glory etc. and recently with bad piggies. I don't face this problem with jetpack joyride, cut the rope or other light and 2d games. I have tried multiple official firmwares (XXLG/DDLD/XXLE) and I am getting the same problem. Is this a hardware problem or a firmware bug which will be solved by new kernel in JB ??

I got the same problem like urs... i try to end all application by using task manager and relaunch the game and it works fine... it only occurs with 3d games... 2d games it doesnt...;) if we can adjust the cpu governer like CM rom does then it should work well in 3d games performance.. ;)

to port this to my phone, do i simply replace the kernel folder in android_kernel_samsung_janice / with the common one and then run the build script?

2.

I checked my phone's board name from my build.prop and it is 'gavini'. Are there any files where i need to change janice to gavini?
