[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
System Tuner and CPUSPY both have CPU meters and also show it never takes the actual overclock.

I'll also confirm PERFORMANCE does take the overclock successfully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Not underclocked at all. Both min/max all the way up. But 4.2 is the only one that lets u move sliders on setcpu. It just doesn't stick. Not sure why. Have to gi to a 6 yr olds b-day party for rest of day though. C u guys later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Oh?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
PhAkEer,

that's the point, the sliders work just fine, but if you use a component that actually SHOWS cpu utilization, you'll see it didn't really take.

System tuner pro and cpuspy monitor the actual CPU states and tell you what they are actually running at.

I'm mistaken on rom toolbox Pro as it only has the sliders but not actual cpu monitoring.

I'll go back and edit that out of my previous posting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well it does more than just appear slower when u click an app and it takes like 5 seconds just to open. Then another 5 just to load lol. And yes that was after about 10 min with tegrak overclock on 4.0 kernel 1.3 ghz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well that would be the case if I was actually able to overclock at all with 4.2 but I haven't found a way yet. Not even with tegrak. Not with setcpu. U can set it but it does not happen and won't take.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
So far OC works with performance governor only and CPUSpy actually shows higher frequencies used.

As I said before I think that's because other governors were written for battery life and they might be clocked at 1200 max.

Thus even if kernel is set for higher speed governor won't allow it.

That's my take on the problem right now.

I don't write governors I'm using existing ones so it's possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well maybe I'll jump back on 4.2 and give it a go. I'm really liking this Pegasusq governor on 4.0 kernel. Not overclocked or nothing but it is nice and snappy just stock. I do have both sliders at 1200 and it's running great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
I get the same thing on my phone with SetCPU and CPU Spy. I can set the slider to 1300 and even reboot and SetCPU shows it is set for 1300 but CPU Spy list 1300 as an unused state no matter what I do to stress the cpu to max it out. 4.2 is the first version that SetCPU even recognized higher than 1200 settings but they are not actually taking if you set them.

That being said I normally underclock 1000/200 so it's not killing me or my cpu to have it not work yet. :silly:

Edit: and after posting this long winded message I notice that Agat provided and explanation DOH!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I didn't change anything on pegasus governor and it should work same way on 4.2.

Keep in mind that Tegrak loads external modules for OC/UC/UV and it might create conflict with other apps that are using kernel itself for settings.

Once on 4.2 don't use tegrak for anything.

And if you want more speed try to OC with performace governor and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Try performance governor.

I tested yesterday and higher frequencies were shown in CPUSpy table.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
This is pretty much where I sit on every multi thread run on 4.0 Pegasusq at 1200ghz. It's nice. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well all I did was wipe caches and install 4.2. Left it on Pegasusq 1200 ghz no overclock and did not touch tegrak or anything else and after 5 min I can't get this number to change. It does after a reboot but goes straight back down after about 5 min. Going back to 4.0 for now. Btw I confirmed setting to be the same just after opening setcpu but did not touch a thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Back on 4.0 and running beautiful. Very consistent. Again no overclock and it holds strong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Have no explanation for that.

Flashed 0.4.0.

Running tFF18.

Settings:

Governor - pegasusq (200-1200)

Scheduler - SIO.

Linpack 45-47 (same as on 0.4.2).

As I said never had linpack score that high on single thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I only run multi thread cause of dual-core device. I think i said that too. I'll try single thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah single thread that makes sense. But that's what I was getting on multi thread on 4.2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
All readings I showed were on multi thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm getting same results on both.

low to mid 70's.

Same settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I don't know why man. Mine drops v down to the 30s on 4.2. Weird. Its it won't go up until reboot. Only after about 5 to 10 min though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Thank you!

Will apply it now. But I'll have to wait for weekend to start flashing away with other ROMs; big vSphere project going now.

Hopefully by then most of the devs will have updated/tweaked their ROMs with the source too. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Thanks Thanks and more Thanks!

You and Rujelus22 Are awesome... I knew if you guys got together this would be squared away in no time. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Since emmc bug has been disabled on kernel level there is no need for devs to change anything.

All zip files are flashable the way they are.

Update/edit was needed for safe recovery with built-in updater binary.

It's not needed anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapback2:
Is there any possible way to get rid of superscroll? Lol im not really diggin it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Sweet, thanks Agat! I think those functions are greatly needed.. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
First I'm trying to get rid of main problems such as rom updater, apps to sd etc.

Once we have fully functioning kernel built from source we can start digging around for undervolt, overclock, underclock, smoothness etc.

At least that's the path I wanna walk.

Since source as available to anyone other devs might have other priorities.

This is not my first phone and by far not my first kernel.

I always was more concerned with stability than with performance. Same has always applied to my roms.

May be not the best ones but one of the most stable ones for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I like the way you think ;) that method of progress sounds great. I can't wait to see the finished and polished kernel that you come up with.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I'll second that on stability and reliability. I've been immensly impressed with how well your ROMs (and of course kernels) run. Since you've come on board your builds are my go to one(s). I need a phone that is 99+% reliable for everything; actaully making calls (this is my work phone), sms, mms internet and both 3G and 4G data (when I can get it). You're definitely an huge asset around here.

Thanks man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapback2:
This excites me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
It just keeps getting better and better.. Can't wait to test this out.. Hell I might grab a rom and test it now :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeNuMuS:
Works great dude. Just tried it with Blu Kuban and the rom updater works awesome bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeNuMuS:
Also ill hit you up with some cash tomorrow. Great work deserves great donations :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Ok so I can go ahead and flash your rom from calk el29 kernel (using his wipe all) then I can flash this kernel right then and there or do I gotta reboot first
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
1.1 would not flash in mobile odin running your rom. Zip flashed fine :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Your kernels are awesome, we knew that. I won't use anybody else's. Just flashed it to my SuperNovA RoM and increased speed and battery so far. I will be including it in my next update I'll be posting sometime today.

just to let you know I flashed from calks el29 to blue Cubans ics installed this recovery, then flashed back, nandroided back to my Calkulins El 29 no problem at all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
quick question and i prolly know the answer but just want to double check, As long as i am on a TW ICS rom I can flash this kernel after i flash a rom to keep this kernel and not the kernel that comes with a custom rom? (No matter what TW ICS rom I choose i can always flash this kernel after flashing the rom? to keep this kernel)

Hi,

Since i did the manuel ICS update lastnight back to stock, just need to root it with qbkings vid how to's, i need to flash a recovery so i can flash roms, do i use odin v1.85? or is there another version that i have to use? i couldnt find any step by steps tutorials on this procedure or how to add the kernal to flash to get a recovery, Thanks for any help on this :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Latest observations...

Both my wife's phone and mine are running v0.4.2 and we are very happy with the battery life and the fact it is not laggy or sluggish at all! She is running Blu Kuban and I am running Goodness. Note I was running Agat's rom yesterday on 0.4.2 also with the same good results. We are both running 50-900 speed range with smartass2 / sio and quite frankly we both saw a nice jump in sleeping battery life right away. I have not done any speed testing this round but like I said, we are not seeing any noticeable drop in performance. For some reason my wife was getting SOD on the 4.0 kernel, but only when running setcpu. I never dug into it, just uninstalled setcpu till we did the 0.4.2 update. reinstalled it and have not seen any issues at all now. I think it was prolly just a weird setting or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris-allen:
oh without a dout the kernal is good, what im saying is that UCing works fine, but OCing wont go beyond 1200 even though the sliders go all to 1.6.... just seems to stay at 1.2.... now on the other hand if your not overclocking then it seems to be just fine :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I tried to charge battery while being on 0.4.2 kernel and still charging does not pass 99 percent and no showing of blue led light when complete, Just to give a heads up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Phone on or off?

I've got blue light while charging and phone being on.

Didn't try it with phone off tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
just checked only when phone was off it displayed 100 with blue light, turned on and it remained on 99 with red light...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm down to 68%. It will take a wile to get to 100.

But yesterday I did get blue light with 100% notification.

I'm positive about that. But not sure if I was on 4.0 or 4.2.

Was on'n'off trying different stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] konman21:
Phone on with wifi/3g? Or u have it on 4g?

I've noticed on my phone when I charge it and leave it

On 3g I will get a faster charge and my setcpu

Its all good tho maybe is something to look at on the next update besides that kernel is very snappy...I was waiting on a response from you on what cpu setting is decent for battery life without losing cpu performance...

I have it on 3g but maybe thats the solution i probably need to calibrate it, i will give it a shot...

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

Unless flashing kernel 0.4.2 with mobile odin might of been the cause of incomplete charge, im comfortable flashing manually and wiping manually, my next flash will be through the recovery...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I was running 0.4.2 Went through full charge battery cycles and reached 100% every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] movetwice:
I can confirm, with stock rooted rom / agat 0.4.2 I can undervolt perfectly, but overclocking is a no go. 0 time is being spent about 1200mhz :(

Thanks for the amazing undervolting though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you want oc you should try performance governor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
I think no-frills is uncompatible with the latest version, it keeps reporting the governor as ondemand (same with rom toolbox), but ExTweaks reports the correct governor and scheduler.

This is on stock FF18 + agat .4.2 after a reboot/shutdown using the menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No frills shows current governor at the left and requested on the right.

In my case it reports correctly after I change settings in ExTweaks and apply them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] localguyincali:
Hi,

I had to get a new cell, other one was getting that "ghost" menu popup problem so they sent me a NEW one free :D .... Question, can i run the new kernel on GB rooted stock rom or do i need to update to ICS? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
These kernels are for ICS only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] localguyincali:
Thanks.. what i thought, guess i'll go update then :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

forgot to ask, can i update ICS even rooted? i watched qbkings vid, he wasnt sure in the vid what he said, i just have the stock CWM when i did the el29 root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Im so confused... Romtoolbox Pro doesnt have a cpu monitor? What are all the pretty numbers that continue to change whenever I touch my screen at all? And what is the "current frequency" pull down supposed to be?

I do have to edit my previous,

The over clock wasnt holding long. But it WAS being monitored in realtime by RomToolbox.. It clear ss day has a current frequency tab that is always changing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
It does the same here, however after a reboot, no-frills (and rom toolbox) will show ondemand, instead of smartassv2

Edit: For the record I do not want you to go out of your way to fix it, it is a) no big deal and b) not a bug with the kernel me thinks. I just posted it as a general comment in case people were having the same effect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
That doesn't give you time in state readouts over a period of time. That's just a "right this moment" cpu monitor. You'll need something that monitors longer term to see that it's not working quite right.

Err, seems you already noticed it's not holding. Disregard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Misunderstood then I guess. I guess I dont see the point of time in state outside of debugging and with Placebo running I dont need to track freq times..

Sceeen off = cpu min (or less),

screen on equals average of min and max. Or close enough.

And couldnt you just logcat that ma? You do have the option to round up available data instead of starting fresh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Flashing kernel through recovery fixes incomplete charge, mobile Odin gave me issues probably because every time I flashed battery was under 50 percent so it's not recommended as it mentions in app to flash firmware with battery being under 50...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Weird I flashed the kernel using mobile odin and it charges just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SweetwaterBurns:
Kind of. Set on boot doesn't work(the kernel seems to reset to default with every program @ boot, even initrd scripts, except for the scheduler) , and neither does oc. Uv and everything else works if you're willing to set it each time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
LOL, in this case, we ARE debugging issues found. You kinda hit the nail on the head with that one. Agat has confirmed the issue, now lets hope he can fix it for a 4.3 release! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilmikeyv:
Mine works great with set CPU...rebooted many times and all my settings stay just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
Overclocking only works with the performance governor but all other features work perfectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Considering this latest kernel once again can anybody confirm on how battery life is, and give me the cpu settings with governor. My job seems to chew away my battery life, I don't know what's a good governor for this kernel... I'm running on stock ics...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I just don't get it. How r u guys getting 4.2 to overclock. I wiped caches, rebooted, and I'm trying with a paid version of setcpu. Linpack won't even get out of the 60s and 70s either and running 1.3 ghz on any governor on the 4.2 including performance and those numbers with those settings should read high 80s to low 90s. On the 4.0 kernel I get low eighties at 1200 ghz every time I run the multi thread so I guess I'll just use 4.0 for now. I know a lot of u think like what's the big deal about overclocking but to a lot of us it is an important part of how we use our device. Maybe its just my phone who knows. I'm not trying to get under anyone's skin or nothing and agat I greatly appreciate what ur doing here and I know u'll get it going eventually. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Hey agat, going off of the subject of overclocking for a change, I think custom boot animation support might be broken. I've tried putting bootanimation.zip files in /system/media and /data/local with no luck from either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Did you try any of bootanimation.zip files from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652725&highlight=bootanimations

Just flashed android particles and it worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Depending on the Rom it may not be setup. I have boot ani as well, so I know it works.

Its bootlooped some who get it wrong so be careful if you try it.

Its in /system/bin

just check first, see if

"samsungani" has a copy right next to it that says samsungani.bak (or any copy)

If it does not, your bootanimation MAY not be enabled.

Change samsungani to (the .bak err whatever)

Then scroll up to "bootanimation" and rename it "samsungani"

Presto, ghetto rigged boot animation.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

I have a question, Agat.

Forgive me if its been addressed.

Is there a way for us to dual boot now?

I know that Siyah kernel for GT-I9100, simply uses mmcblk0p12 (/preload) as a /system replica, but I do not know how to setup the second bootpath in the recovery.

It really dosnt look too difficult and my goodness would it make my life less of a headache during testing times... Llol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you mean a multi rom support kernel than yes.

It's in my plans but first I wanna make sure that OC/UC/UV is all there and works properly.

As it looks we still have some problems and/or issues with it.

I hate to leave my work unfinished and move to next thing.

I'm still battling with OC issues and trying to get to the bottom of it.

As it has been mentioned even with performance governor where the CPUSpy shows higher frequencies being used we don't see

a real performance boost. So we can assume that kernel still missing something.

Let me try to finish this and my next 2 to do's are:

1. Multi rom support

2. OTG.

Not in that particular order but these 2 thinks will make kernel complete. IMHO.

Hi,

I'm having a problem installing CWM, This is what i did, I rooted EL29, then did the ICS update (qbking vid) then followed this to install CWM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9gPljlBfDM but i dont have the custom recovery as posted in the video, it's still the stock android recovery.

Did i miss a step or something? All files/drivers are installed, so i'm at a loss now :confused: any suggest or help please? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Don't have youtube acces at work so I can't watch video but you should be able to install CWM recovery via sfhubs autoroot package.

Or you download and install mobile ODIN (available for free for XDA members) and install this kernel which comes with my recovery (based on CWM and ACS recoveries).

You would use a .tar file from OP to install with mobile odin.

Or you can use PC ODIN to install a tar file but in that case you will get a yellow triangle and you custom binary cound will go up.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
With mobile odin you can install any of the tar files from OP.

It should flash just fine if you have root access. You have to give mobile ODIN superuser permissions.

That's pretty much it.

After that you can flash any kernel tar file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] localguyincali:
so if i mobile odin your newest kernel does it have a custom recovery in it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
Yes they all do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
All my kernels, repack or compiled from source comming with my recovery.

All kernels in OP comming with my tREC_v0.2.1.

Recovery is based on CWM/ACS recovery with slight modifications like reboot menu, rearranged menu line items, text color etc...

Recovery is compiled with CM7 source which makes all tasks performed in recovery safe. Back up, restore, wipe...
