flashed 0.2.3 with mobile odin and my phone wouldn't go past the first galaxy screen.. Couldn't even boot into recovery, had to odin flash (so now I have to get rid of the yellow triangle again :( )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What rom did you flash it over?

What were you running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Flashed over the Stock Rooted FF18...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
I flashed over stock rooted with Mobile Odin and Recovery with no problems. Great work, Agat.

Looking forward to future updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbeekman:
For some reason
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Glad you're okay.. And thanks a lot for this.. Can't wait to try it when I flash roms in a few days
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Glad you're OK Agat!

One thing I thought of is why not update your source kernel to v1.2.1? So the kernel version is the 1., then your recovery version after: hence v1.2.1 :)

sj
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Kernel will be updated more often (I hope).

Adding different tweaks one by one. Thus I thought I should keep kernel version separate from recovery.

As you know recovery changes are not so often.

We have it safe. Menu is set and accepted by others. Colors and other things are good so recovery will stay on 0.2.1 for long time.

In another hand we just got kernel source and we might see updates ones or twice a week and with 0.1.0 I have more numbers to assign without going into double digits.

Just my thoughts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radtranceman:
Now that source has dropped will this or future kernels support usb host mode with the otg cable? International S2 has it by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I guess everything is possible now, withing certain limits of course. :p

Right now I'm pushing slightly modified source and my initramfs to github for others to use.

I think this is good starting point.

Recovery is included and mmc bug is disabled.

Any kernel dev can grab it and do his/her own tweaks and edits from here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
I'm on Blazer 0.1.3 and flashed the zip alls good. I can move apps to sd card now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Good to know.

Thanks for feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
Thank you thank you agat and Chris!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Dumb question for ya agat. I'm running this kernel and Tegrak is letting me OC. I'm at 1.4 right now and where I work is a terrible signal area. Bad enough were Facebook won't open.

After I overclocked Facebook now opens. My question is is this just a coincidence? For some reason I keep thinking that something in a stock kernel has to be tweaked before it can be overclocked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Once again thank you Agat and Chris41g for the work. I'm sure the excellent devs will soon start using this to make even smoother and faster builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
As stated in OP I didn't change anything except disabling emmc cap_erase command.

Initramfs is from my previous repacks so it's not new.

I don't answer for you right now but may be there is difference between stock made by sammy and stock compiled by us from source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darrien13:
Good your ok :thumbup: So is it ok to flash between ICS and GB now with this? thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

You can flash between builds but this kernel is for ICS only.

If you flash GB rom make sure it comes with it's own kernel otherwise rom won't boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darrien13:
Finally you're the man :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Alright newb here! I have this file on my sd card. So I'm on stock rooted FF18 rom and if I hit volume up and.power button I get into stock android recovery and do I just select the file and install? Sorry just want to make sure I do this right. Thanks guys.

Edit: I dont have cwm. Just stock. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sqb33:
in your case best bet is to download mobile odin and download the .tar and use it to flash the kernel that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Could I just Odin from my desktop as well? That's how I got FF18.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
yes you can.

But with odin you will get yellow triangle.

Mobile ODIN doesn't trigger it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Yes you can
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
That's the reason I've yet to flash with normal odin, yes I could get rid of it and the flash count, but I'm lazy so mobile odin or recovery for me :p

Click here for custom mods for your E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larrynypd:
can i put on phone with cwm is it safe to thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
This kernel? Yes I have it. I recommend flashing it in mobile Odin but yes you can flash thru cwm. Just wipe cache and delvik cache
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Hi all,

Does anyone know if this kernel supports USB Host? Or if it's in the plans to be supported at some point time?

TIA!

Can I put this on stock rooted FF18 rom? I rooted by this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 then went back and installed option d (# /system/bin/sh install-boot-ff18-cwm-agat-src.sh) from the autoroot script.

Kernel version in about phone is :

3.0.15-g6cd35a2-dirty

AGAT_vo.1.1 #2

And if I can install this what would be the reason? (I'm fairly new to rooting but kernels and radios throw me for a loop) can I use the recovery that I have on phone now to install zip? Or be best to use odin?

Thanks and keep up the great work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
Yes you can, flash via recovery or odin doesn't matter.

Reasons to use:

AGAT_v0.2.1

Added smartass2 governor.

1. AGAT_v0.2.1.zip flash in recovery.

2. AGAT_v0.2.1.tar flash with ODIN or mobile ODIN.

AGAT_v0.2.2

Added overclock support up to 2.0 GHz with

Added undervolt and frequency support. Now you can have up to 18 steps. Supported frequencies are from 2.0 MHz to 0.25 MHz.

- vdd_level interface

- UV_mV interface

- max_current_idx and min_current_idx to limit the cpu to policy levels

- new frequency steps (1600, 100, 50, 25... total step size is 18)

1. AGAT_v0.2.2.zip flash in any unlocked recovery.

2. AGAT_v0.2.2.tar flash with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.

AGAT_v0.2.3

Once again my thanks to Chris41g for github, source, explanations.

Added Siple I/O sheduler (SIO) with tweaks - should be more battery friendly.

Read ahead tweaks - for increased performance without sacrificing battery life.

Task_groups tweaks - for increased performance.

Edited inir.rc for SD card speed.

As you can see, it has updated I/O, SD tweaks, different governors, you can undervolt and also overclock :cowboy:

You can search XDA or google or both for tons of info on governors and I/O tweaks ;) Currently running SmartassV2 / SIO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spoocobra:
Thank You Very Much tt281gt!!

Last dumb question I promise (for today :p) reading the notes on first page it says it's safe from the emmc bud(g)? so that means I can do a factory wipe/reset, flash boot animations, add ons etc...

Once again thanks for your help!! :D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Not trying to be a hound or nothing and I know people have lives outside of Xda, but has anyone heard from agat? I know he said he was in out of the country till Tuesday but he's usually on here and I think his last post was Sunday or Monday. Again not trying to be a pest. Just concerned that's all. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
Same here. Won't go above 800 even with max and min set to 1300. Used tegrak and setcpu.

Currently on Star Power ROM but same issue occurs on every ROM I've flashed in past couple days.

On .2.3

Sent from SGII unlocked and fully loaded.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm not sure I understand the question or the problem.

Phone is not always on max frequency. It will go to 1200 or higher if you overclock only when needed.

Running 2.3 with my rom. I do not overclock.

Just checked frequencies with

1. CPU SPY - Shows all frequencies used from 1200 to 200

2. AnTuTu CPU Master Free - See scalling going from 1200 to 200

3. Voltage control free - Scalling from 1200 to 200

I'm on smartass governor with SIO scheduler.

Undervolted by -50.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
If you are using performance then your phone will not go below the Max. That is what the performance gononer does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Not using performance anymore I switched to wheatley which seems pretty good. Did you by chance see my questions regarding the font colors with your rom and. Ltd being able to read buttons and menus?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hollywood084:
Should wheatly be available in all roms running agat, or does my E4GT not support it. The only "extra" gov I see is smartass v2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I don't believe it's in agats kernel yet. I actually got it from team venoms kernel which is branched from agats source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
Phone won't go past 800 no matter what I'm doing. Not a question just letting you know. Obviously on performance it does but not at all with anything else. It stills runs top of the line at 800 just won't let me push it past that at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I guess I missed the question.

What text colors are we talking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Sorry agat, Nothing specific to your kernel its more related to rujelus22 blu kuban ROM. Its a beast of a ROM but you just cant see the text in a lot of menu's. I was just giving him a hard time cause no one ever my question in his thread. Anyways on another note or you looking to add the additional Governor's to your base?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

I'm looking to add few more things to kernel.

Hopefully can start working on it this weekend.

Have too much to do now at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iceshark:
Is 2.3 stable to use with stock ICS FF18? I am new to this phone (from HTC phones) and two people have told me to stick with 2.1 and not use 2.2 or 2.3

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I don't know who told you that and why but all 3 kernels are stable and all 3 are compiled from FF18 source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iceshark:
It was on another thread here from a question I asked. A senior member advised I stick with 2.1. However your the man so if you say go to 2.3 I will do it now.

I dont want to overclock. Just so I have CWM on a close to stock kernal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Closest to stock is 2.1.

2.2 and 2.3 have some governors, tweaks and I/O added.

But you don't need to oveclock of you don't wnat to .

I'm on 2.3. No overclock just undervolt. And just FYI 2.3 has been downloaded over 1000 times and I don't see many complaints here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I see a lot of posts regarding overclocking. I understand the need to thoroughly test the new kernels but frankly, the very small percentage of users that would actually be interested in overclocking in reality is quite low. Has anyone made any progress in the real issue which is the daily life expectancy of our phone on ICS? I don't know as much about tweaking governors as I'd like to but I would really like to see some more progress in creating some tweaks that don't involve tegrak and setcpu.

God, I miss Kobridge. :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
You should be able to do that safely but to be 100% don't :p

No need to just use calks format all zip or modified (no data) zip.

Yes you can flash mods and boot animations. No need to factory reset for that maybe just wipe cache/dalvik cache
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm still trying thru source and learn as much as I can.

But I'm not sure I understand what you mean but "tweaking without tegrak and setcpu".

Everyone looks for something different and I'm not planning ot set UV/OC/UC as default on kernel level.

Any kernel will come with stock frequencies and stock voltage and users should decide for themselves what they want.

I for one never overclock since I prefer more battery life over performance. This phone is fast enough IMHO as is and don't need overclocking but rather UV and UC to extend battery. But there are many users who is looking for OC and higher benchmarks.

Thus said it will be always up to some app or some init.d tweak script to set governor/scheduler/voltage and frequencies to what that particular user want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iceshark:
Thank you for your explanation! So 2.3 just in undervolt. I have never run an undervolt kernal. So is this just primariy to add to battery life? No danger to phone? Cool.

Guess I will use Caulkins like the above post said and then flash.:cowboy:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
2.3 is not undervolted.

It gives you option to undervolt if you want.

You can also underclock or overclock.

Alwo 2.3 has read ahead tweak and has been tweaked for sd card read speed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Check out PhAkEer's Placebo [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748208 ]. It improved my connection speeds and battery life too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
thanks, but TD is more than aware of Placebo, it's just wasn't really ever intended to prolong battery. That being a side effect some people get is great, but it's not the same....

and ftr, ive been trying like crazy to find some holy grale of settings but... but alas... fail. :(

Edit: I guess I'm off to start on a diet pill. Hope I find something :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Thanks PhAkEer. I figured that TD would be, he's such an asset around here; skilled and informed. Jus thought I'd through that out. His tweaks/customizations are some of my favorites here too.

The battery side effect has been noticable to me.

I suspect it maybe it's because of the combination of network tweaks improving connections and keeping my phone from scanning all the time.

I appreciate the work all you guys contribute. I just look forward to checking in here and seeing whats new and is going on. Thanks again to all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Loving the kernel so far! Would it be possible to add smartassv2 and sio scheduler with overclock capabilities on the next update? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
They are part of 0.2.3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
It seems like it won't let me over clock past 1.2ghz though. Unless, it's the app im using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Ah awesome, thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris-allen:
could be MY PHONE.. but it seems the more o overclock ( anything past 1300 ) , the slower and laggier the phone gets.... its like this on just about every ics build. no matter what kernal i use. :S

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hollywood084:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
System adjusting to the unique configurations of everyone and you cannot notice improvements right after flashing a ROM, gotta let it work for a couple battery charges before passing judgement.

Revers the names and we all good.

It should be Chris41g and me.

Almost everything I know comes from him.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Either way thanks again to both of you. Latest kernel gave me a little more speed on my Antutu's. I'll have to see about battery (that's secondary for me right now). I'll mess with the clock speeds later this weekend and see how that goes.

Thanks again guy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That was the idea.

Voluntary preemption should give you little more speed and smoothness especially when playing games without eating much battery.

I hope everything came out as I wanted it to.

We will know after couple of days. I'm on 3.0 for little bit more than a day but it will need more testing in different conditions before we know for sure.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Normally I wouldn't ask because its not that important but it says in Op to let you know of problems,

Is there a reason certain apps that work on your pre-source kernel won't work on the new ones?

Er, did this already get fixed?

Specially two of Hellcats apps(that I know of); SGS2 BootLogo Changer and kTool (kernel) don't work.

Tia

(Could the app just be getting the wrong number of args?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What exactly doesn't work?

Are there any error messages?

Just installed kTool and tried it.

Was able to use reboot and reboot to recovery options and flash a zImage.

Didn't try the BootLoge changer tho. Don't have any images that I can use as bootlogo on my phone.

Anyone have a setup ho bad on them?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tim1089:
After flash 3g never turned on. I had no data even waited to see if it just needed to start from the kernel flash. I just commented to see if it was just a freak thing. You know how it is when it come to technology. Sometimes it works on everything but a few. I do love these kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I didn't blame you or anything.

To fix something I should be able to dublicate the error.

As you said it's technology and something works for many and doesn't for few.

All I was trying to say is that I can't replicate the error to try to figure out what is wrong.

We all running many different roms/tweask/mods and sometime it's just so hard to figure out

what exactly is in conflict and why certain things are happening.

I was able to create the folder using ES file explorer with root privileges.

The extweaks app is interesting. I like how it gives a quick explanation for each of the settings. Will play around with it.

Thanks for another update, I could've sworn I was still testing out 0.3.0 this weekend... Lol.. couldn't help but flash this latest and greatest
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
For ES Explorer

Go into settings, Enable Up to root, Enable Root Explorer and Enable mount /system.

And use at your own risk, etc, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
Will 4.0 still work with SetCPU just fine, or should we only be using ExTweaks for this kernel?

From what I can tell ExTweaks is only for Siyah kernel which comes from CMx based Roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That has been incorporated in this kernel as well.

All other apps are still will work. I just liked the look and options of ExTweaks.app and it looks like that option in siyah kernel is liked and appreciated. So tried to incorporated it here.

I did test it before I uploaded the kernel. It does work.
