[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
here is a new test version. i have done some more work to the memory management from linux 3.3, which hopefully solves the ram issue.

after 13 hours, i am having 90 mb free.

schedulers now can be specified at /data/local/devil/governor

valid values are all the alvailable governors ;) you have to write them like this:

ondemand (not: Ondemand)

still also useable for jb

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheGoD:
Big thanks to the Devil for is excellent kernels! I must admit that I didn't had the time to test the new ones, so Im still on .95. But Im planning to do so.

Questions:

How can I disable live oc? Live oc did never work stable for me, so Id rather just overclock the cpu to 1.2 khz.

I just begun to test swap and so far, having a 1 GB swap partition and Swappiness set to 100 really improved multitasking for me while still being smooth like butter? Is there any downside to this? How fast does the sdcard get damaged (does it use the same blocks on the sd all the time or does it alternate)? How do the settings Swappiness and FudgeSwap actually do?

I flashed latest CM9 nighty, after that this kernel &then lastly script related to swap( mentioned in How-To of the kernel).

Before flashing I wiped cache & dalvik cache.

Phone NEVER got booted & stayed on devil screen.

Did I made some mistake?

Is there any other way/procedure to flash kernel over the phone having devil kernel installed?

Sorry for too many Qs &long post, but I am new to this kernel, never faced this prob with Glitch or Semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Flash Devil over Semaphore!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fishears:
Memory management seems to be fixed in 98.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] deeppans:
Thanks for quick reply.

I even tried that way flashed Semaphore over devil & tried rebooting but that failed.

So went into recovery using 3 button combo. Formatted /boot, cleared all init.d setting, then install Cm9 update & flashed devil kernel.

But due to this method I lost gapps.

So what I should do to flash latest devil update 3.98-3?

Please help & thanks for support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Proelio:
Memory management still sucks for me with 98.3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
I upgrade Devil by using Semaphore. I do the following in Devil-recovery:

- flash Semaphore

- in advanced "reboot recovery"

- you are in Sema recovery

- clear "nstools settings" and "initd"

- reboot

- after booting up go recovery.

- clear nstools and initd.

- flash Devil kernel

- reboot

(Sometimes by choosing "reboot recovery" the phone will boot up and you are on Sema).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yahyoh:
hmm u have a lot of **** apps using a lot of ram

try to wait for several hours and report back, ma be it will stabilize. Don't you have to much services running? This may be the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Proelio:
I have the basic services running. On older versions of the kernel (79), I had 150MB Free RAM approximately, but with the latest versions I always stuck in 90-100MB.

I have enabled swap (512MB partition swap), and set swappiness to 80 and fudgeswap to 256. The value of free RAM is the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Hehe, why don't you clear init.d and nstools with my recovery? Anyway, good that it is working for you this way.

I never had any problem flashing (upgrading) Devil on Devil, I just wipe cache + dalvik & install kernel. imho anything else is redundant: NStools resets itself anyhow and init.d will be erased/backed up by devil automaticly!

- 95% of my flashing are far away from my cable. I flash "everything" everywhere.

- wipe cache and dalvik: never used it on ICS ROMs. (I've already flashed every ICS ROMs). Flashing Devil wipes cache and dalvik.

For those who have memory management problems, check your Rom-side settings for LMK, etc...I have never occurred that kind of problems (today @ 10h uptime, 153MB free, just saying because someone's mentioned quick decrease of free ram after boot).

I'm using correctly SlimICS..memory setting in "performance" section is set to 75. But I can't really see point of having so much "free" ram :eek: it's good for cached apps, so it isn't "wasted", but still..Well running find with me..that's enough for me :D

Edit: this was with the 0.95 version..Just flashed the latest one..we'll see if there's a difference in tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
It's not a ROM prob. This morning I had 0-30 MB free RAM on RemICS using Devil. Than I flashed mnICS and Semaphore to check the RAM: 120-150 MB was free using these kernels.

I flashed 0.98_3 yesterday afternoon. Everything was fine and running smoothly. Charged my sgs over night (to 100% obviously) and unplugged it about 1,5 hours ago. By now I've lost 15% battery and I'm not running a lot of apps, no GPS, no WiFi...

Is that normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Just an FYI - I flashed 0.98.3 over 0.79 and got a nasty loop - not a traditional bootloop where the kernel loads but the OS reboots, but a nasty one it didn't even get to the kernel. It took some trickery to make it even go into recovery mode. I flashed 0.95 there and it was OK.

I figured it for a bad download, so I redownloaded 0.98.3, but hashes were the same...

I then tried the EXACT same process as before, and it worked fine.

SO

0.79 -> 0.98.3 FAIL

0.79 -> 0.95 -> 0.98.3 WIN

I thought I should share that warning.

And yes, I tried clearing cache, dalvik, init, etc etc etc. Nothing else worked.

I remember when everyone was using task killers, and the devs said, 'free memory is wasted memory.'

I think the point here is that we *are* using the memory... but multiple times over, due to KSM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
No, in idle ~1-1,5%/hour. Some apk.-s running in the background eat your battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ( V ):
whats your settings on Zram and KSM? because those 2 seems to require more power. also you can check kernel wakelocks with betterbatterystats!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derboedi:
No, not really. I haven't changed anything really since upgrading from Devil3 0.95 either. Strange. Maybe I'll flash 0.98_3 again?

Using Swap at 60% (default). Not using Ultra KSM because I don't know what it is. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Zram?...I haven't experienced more power using it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sUsH667:
zram HAS to use more battery cause stuff gets compressed before it's pushed to ram and that uses cpu-time which costs battery.

if you can really feel or see that battery-consumption is higher with zram than without, well, i think it depends heavily on how you use your device. i for example had definitely bigger battery drain with zram than without. just my observations, though...

greetz,

I think it was a Rom issue, CM9 10.06.- i dont know it exactly.

Now i am back on Slim and updated Devil to latest version- everything runs smooth and lagfree as usual. No bootloops.

The funny thing about it was, that i did NOTHING and from one moment to another my SGS restarts in bootloops... Just to be sure i formatted SD-card and redownloaded all files again and checked MD5 sums twice!:rolleyes:

Technical support

It seems that when I flash a new nightly and leave things on the stock CM kernel, I get reboots when turning on wifi or "portable hotspot" or I also get the wifi on/off problem. The reboots keep happening, they don't go away after the first one.

If I flash a Devil kernel, these problems go away, but I want to have the choice of running stock, right now I am forced to run Devil because of the reboots. Any ideas how to stop the reboots from happening?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Never need to "odinize" if you got bootloop.

1. help: flash Semaphore.tar kernel via Odin or Heimdall. Your phone will boot up. Go recovery, clear "nstools settings" and "init.d", flash a Devil kernel, reboot. (It helped me).

If it doesn't help:

2. help: flash CM7 initial kernel via Heimdall. In CM7 recovery do a factory reset, then flash a CM9 nightly and Devil kernel over Semaphore.

Sent from CM9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] matesc:
Do you really think i didn't try it? :p

I flashed semaphore via odin, but this didn't help. I was not able to get to recovery. I tried also to flash devil with odin. Also nothing.

So i HAD to odinize it. Suddenty.

Lucky me- i have always a fresh back up...

I remember also, that after that i had a really big problem to flash CM9 in order to come from GB to ICS.. I discovered, that redownloading cm9 has solved this. But this is really off topic. (Just to mention it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gonsa:
now i'm confused.

which is the best kernel for the Slim ICS?

Devil2_094 or Devil3_072?

I've been on 0.79 for a while now (the thread moved too fast to update :P), but now experiencing something weird: After a while, every time the phone reboots it'll go past the splash screens twice before going to the boot animation. Also, when booted up, it will randomly freeze or act like an SoD, even when Deep Idle etc. are turned off.

Therefore, since I have read that 0.95 is the most recent stable test release, could someone post a link to that one? Seeing as search is down on XDA...
