[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
To expand on what Agat said, I'll give you a few recommendations based on my own experiences. (personal opinions)

Let me first say I have run Agat's kernels exclusively on all roms since his first repack of acs. I have never had any issues. ( I don't move apps to SD and I understood the issue with Blu Kuban's updater that is now fixed anyway)

1) If you are not familiar with ICS then I would say skip stock and start with Agat's rom. It is nicely themed and rock solid with great battery life.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721065

2) Next up I would try either M'ICS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740101 or Venum Ice http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538848 They are similar in features but each has it's own distinctive theme and feel. I am currently running M'ICS with Agat's 1.1 kernel and Kobridges Moderate tweaks.

3) Last bu not least give Blu Kuban a run for it's money. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625535 It is probably the most polished and feature rich TW rom out at the moment. It also is very dark in theming with many inverse apps and a ton of options. I saved this for last as the others have less bells and whistles and might look weaker in a head to head. In my opinion this is not the case at all.

Let me say again, I have used Agat's kernels in all these roms and just installed Blu Kuban on my wifes phone with his 1.1 kernel and all is great with the updater.

If I have overstepped my bounds by posting other roms in Agat's thread I apologize. I merely wanted to drive home how solid a product he is turning out for us.

Just mobile Odin el26 wipe caches and flash the kernel zip. Reboot and enjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I'm up and running again btw**, and the issue was I didn't mobile odin el26 wipe caches before applying agats kernel?.. Thanks for the reply
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
it's a safe way to do it. Your up and running with the new kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I'm not even sure why I mobile odined it when I could have flashed it in recovery.. Wasn't thinking.... And nope.. On Calkulin's FE22 re packed now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No problems here.

I know my rom is not the best of fastest.

It's just an option if someone wants it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
We back in business.

Tree is restored and I'm running new kernel for 3 hrs now.

Everything seems to be good.

Thanks for your patience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Awesome news agat! Is this based off FH13 or FF18 source? Not that it really matters. Just wondering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I restored my old tree for now.

Once I have this kernel out I'll try the new source but AFAIK the source is 3.0.15 and we already on 3.0.41.

So I don't expect much from new source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Bug fixes got to be embedded somewhere. I saw the changelog and they do look Lower level
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larva_pro:
well i installed mykes 6 and 7 and it didn't work for me =\

google now opens and close very fast. i can get notifications but cant use the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
First FH13 source build kernel is up and running.

AGAT_v0.5.0 clean stock kernel with no tweaks yet.

It comes with updated recovery.

Links are in OP.

I'll try to add all the tweaks as soon as I can.

And we have to come up with new name so we can tell 2 kernels apart.

I'll continue working on FF18 kernel as well until I add all the tweaks to FH13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Maybe with this one you'll remember a little guys request that you didnt get around to :(

I like using your kernels moreso than the others but I luuuuuv my conservative tweaks :'(

(I do remember you stipulated to remind you, So its my bad for forgetting )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
You should drop ff18 build altogether as fh13 is the official latest ota. But that's just me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I don't think FH13 is official...just a leak isn't it?

Edit...I stand corrected. It is official. That's what I get for working when I should be reading the forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Binary Droids:
FH13 became official yesterday. I'm not sure if the leaked build is exactly the same as yesterday's official update though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Thanks again Agat for the work. Your kernels have been great for me so I'll keep rocking the one you put in you ROM until you get the tweak/mods added to 5.0. (+or whatever you end up calling it)

You work is definitely worth the wait. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
U could just stick the build # in the name somewhere maybe. Also scrap FF18 kernel like rovar suggested imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cricket Droid:
Thank you for all your work Agat & mentors

I like the new recovery style, might have to check out your fh13 rom this weekend
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
FH13 based AGAT_v0.5.1 is up and running.

Added OC/UC/UV ExTweaks (partially) and few new governors.

OP updated links posted.

Next on my to do list is adding I/O schedulers and updating source to

Linux 3.0.41.

Since FH13 is updated/cleaned FF18 source I'll be working on FH13 only.

I don't think we need to continue to use FF18 source unless we see some bugs in FH13 in the future.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hi Agat. I think the 0.4.5 came with the updated recovery but you never released it into the wild. Would it be ok if you put the 0.4.5 with the updated CWM up too please? It's still nice to have more choices. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Im gonma have to learn how to compile one of these things on my phone.

:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Rwilco pulled zImage from my FH13 rom and was planning to upload it to his repository.

Check it out. Version 0.4.5 should be there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I have the image pulled and will be uploading it tonight. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
So 4.5 is fixed as far as cpu settings sticking? What's the difference between 4.5 and 5.1? Sorry I don't have time to research them I'm at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
4.5 Has not been fixed.

I have another version kind of ready 0.4.6 that is a clean version of 0.4.5 but never came around to test it fully and upload.

As for difference between 4.5 and 5.1 that't source.

New updated source for FF18/FH13 dropped 2 days ago and 5.1 is based on that new source.

There are not too many differences but according to Sammy the FH13 has improved battery life.

Time shall tell if it's true but IMHO since it's newer source we should use it.

One can only hope that new means better. :silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] movetwice:
5.1 seems to work great, no issues so far after 3 hours use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
+1, stock FH13 build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ty080279:
lol..that's our forums mantra ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larva_pro:
so i was in 4.4 version

and after installer 5.1 with odin mobile. phone reset and it stays in the galaxy logo. I tried to start the phone in recovery mode and it dont work.

but i still can boot in download mode.

what i do here? any advise ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
My guess would be bad download or bad copy (corrupt) to sd card.

If you can't boot to recovery that means kernel didn't flash correctly or didn't flash at all.

I have tried both tar and zip before uploading them.

Total download count is over 40 and if it would of be bad (corrupted) upload I think we would of have more posts about it.

You would need PC with ODIN to flash kernel (make sure you have good download) or a full rom in tar format.

At this moment I don't think you can flash anything without pc odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larva_pro:
so i can reflash the kernel with odin pc with out reinstalling a compleate ROM OS ?

if so i will try it once im at home, after work. thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

If you tried to flash kernel with mobile odin you rom should be in tact.

All you need is working kernel now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I would try to Odin the tar file via desktop if u can. See where that gets u. If that don't work u may have to just Odin stock rooted all over again. Or maybe try to Odin 4.4 tar to get it back to where u were in the 1st place. I'm not really sure. Just throwing ideas. Hope it helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I was getting good battery life with your kernels anyways, but if Sammy source came with improvement for extended batt life why not work with it and add some of your tweaks. I see that there is no io scheduler from reading change log are you going to add it to 5.2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

I said in my kernel description in OP.

That's on my to do list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No rush, Squeeze us in between pool parties. Otherwise the next post here will be from your wife letting use know you've been grounded and can't come out to play. :eek:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
Agat do you plan on adding the conservative governor?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If it's not there than yes.

I thought I have it activated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just did a back up and restore with 4.5 with 2.2 recovery.

Will flash 5.1 back and try again.

will report in a bit.

Edit: Worked with latest kernel as well.

I don't see why I am having that error. Oh well :/

Edit: worked after rebooting into recovery several times.

Still having that Android is upgrading message but that's just the ROM. Don't know why it's going on :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
AGAT_v0.5.2 is up and running.

Based on FH13 source.

Updated to linux 3.0.41

Added SIO and VR schedulers.

Thanks, bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I checked 5.1 and it did have conservative governor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamexman:
Rujelous (Am I spelling his name right?) said made a comparison between FF18 and FH13 and they are identical bit by bit. Nothing has changed at kernel level. Most probably the tweaks are on the ROM side.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There was another post (can't find it now) that stated there were about 130 files different from over 2000 files.

You might be right and it might be the rom only because there was no specifications as for where were those changes.

One thing is clear tho.

We not loosing anything by moving to FH13 source but we might get something out of it.

As I stated few posts back one can only hope.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yours did????

I mustve looked at the changlog too soon or am blind :o

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
.5.2 working great. By the way I dont know what rujelus did to his kernel but poweron.ogg doesnt play. On this kernel it plays just fine.

This kernel messes up the display's color what's up with that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Kernel has nothing to do with display or display colors.

I don't know what you mean. Running this kernels few hours before it has been made public and have no problems with colors in any way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
I noticed some odd color issues too -- dialogs/popups w/ white backgrounds and light fonts I couldn't read.

I also flashed up to the tFH13 ROM, AND installed several of ruj's inverted apps at the same time I flashed the kernel (more or less) so I don't for sure what messed up what... I saw the effect on the inverted gmail and play store, but also on the brightness slider that pops up from my old extended controls widget.

Installed travp's latest full inverted gmail, and that does NOT have the weird coloring...

all in all a pretty minor issue -- other than this I'm seeing great performance etc and am very happy w/ the kernel.

So I noticed in extweaks 200mhz is sticking after boot but in cpu spy it states all the other cpu states under 200 with 50 being the lowest and most used on smartass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you set 200 as min frequency it should not show any usage of 100, 50 and 25 under CPU Spy.

Or I didn't understand you correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah that is what I did and it was showing those lower frequencies. Don't know why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Try to reset it and see what happened.

It should not show lower frequencies if you don't set them.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Do you have scripts or another CPU tweaking app installed?

ExTweak only sets values for boot up, if you have a script or another app installed (Tegrak, setCPU etc..) with settings different from ExTweak, they get applied after phone is up and running (they take over, and ExTweak allows it), Even tho the settings in ExTweak haven't been changed. It will still show that ExTweak is still set to your settings, and will boot using those settings every time, until a script or app changes things to IT'S settings.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
No. Extweaks is all I have running on agats FH13 rom and the only thing I did was set the governor to smartass and set the first scaling frequency to 1.4 ghz. Nobody else is seeing lower values than 200 in cpu spy app? Right now I'm on rujelus22's kernel and this does not happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Nothing under 200 besides Sleep.

Under the 'CPU' menu, try setting 'Scaling Min Freq' to a value of 5, 6, or 7. This looks like it regulates the maximum # of steps available for the CPU. It appears that none of the frequencies below 200 comes into play until you specify a value of '8' or greater*.

For my setup, I use EXTweaks to set some baseline defaults then SetCPU for profiles. So for example, EX Tweaks is set for Min CPU 200, Max 1400, but then SetCPU keeps me at 1200 most of the time (except when on charger). I use a value of '6' in 'Scaling Min Freq' which provides all of the defaults (200,500,800,1000, and 1200) plus 1400 which I only use when plugged into the charger.

*PS - Despite all that I stated above, CPU spy does show some time at e.g., 300, 400, 600, 700 and 900 even with the restriction. But I originally added the scale-step restriction as a means of testing whether granular scaling was contributing to soft crashes; and though I don't know if it helped or not, the soft crashes have stopped, so I'm leaving it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can set all your profiles in ExTweaks as well.

Thanks to Rujelus22 we have few profile options like Charge, Screen Off, Low battery.

Pretty much all kernel tweaks can be set from ExTweaks. I keep CPUSpy and System tuner only to monitor settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
U use 1400 to charge? What governor r u using? I'm using smartass and the same 1400/1200 frequency as u with a noop scheduler and it shows lower frequencies down to 50 still in cpu spy. As agat and others have stated the only true cpu usage is displayed in the cpu spy app. Not sure if u use that app but it's the only way to really tell what's being used.

Edit: Sorry missed ur ps.
