When ever you get stuck on the Samsung logo black screen don't freak out its mostly cuz whatever file you flash or mobile Odin had to be a bad download unless u had a gb kernel on a ics from then yea it also won't boot up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Hmmm I know this kernel is safe to flash from one ics from to another but how bout flashing from a tw ics rom to aokp rom instead of doing the whole el26 kernel thing is it safe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Kernel is safe.

You should be able to flash AOKP rom as long as it comes with it's own kernel and almost all roms do.

emmc bug is disabled from source so there should be no danger of bricking. At least not because of that bug.

I never used AOSP/AOKP/CM roms and I don't know much about what else is different but if it's safe to flash from GB it should be safe to flash with this kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Thanks @ yellow cause I did freak out.. With all my flashing, never got stuck on the samsung screen..

&since I'm back on a ics rom and fe22 Calkulin's kernel.. Can I just download agats kernel from OP go into CWM & flash it... & be cool from there.... Sorry for the Noob question...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes you can.

I'm uploading both versions so every one can choose how they flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Gotcha.. Thanks a lot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Like agat said you can and np trust me I still consider myself a noob I used to get stuck on the Samsung screen plenty of times from a bad file download but I started downloading my roms thru wifi now when I can instead of on 4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Just wanted to report back, flashed the new kernel with no problems.. Can't wait to see how it goes.. Heard a few people say they have gotten better battery life with it.. Plus it's sweet that it works with the Rujelus ' rom updater.. Thanks a lot Agat :)

Trying to add smartass governor.

Kernel compiles without errors but won't boot.

Hopefully can figure it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I had to just quickly Search what smart governor was lol.. But I'm sure you can ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badkidrf:
Loving the update so far. This with kodbridge tweaks and Blazers Phantom ICS Rom, amazing...

P.S. I'm mad I'm posting this right after having sex, there has to be something wrong with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Finally was able to add smartass2 governor to kernel.

Rom toolbox gives me option to choose it.

Anyone willing to try it and confirm before I post it in OP.

Here are the links:

1. AGAT_smart_test.zip flash in recovery.

2. AGAT_smart_test.tar flash in ODIN or mobile ODIN.

I'm running it now. Kernel is booting and working. I just wanna make sure that the governor works as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Can't find link0. 2.1 its not in op. Anyone help out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I'm not very kernel smart.. but by smartass2 should i be able to see userspace, powersafe, ondemand, performace? those are the options i see in ron Toolbox under CPU control.... so far it works though, booting wise that is.. :P)

Update: NVM! based on a google search and post below.. im assuming id be able to select smartass2 along with those governor selections.

Update2: Tar version of kernel allows me to choose smartassv2, zip version didn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
Kernel works, but I only could see userspace, ondemand, performance and powersave. I was using free apps though - Rom Toolbox lite, System Tuner, No Frills, and AnTuTu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I just flashed the Odin version, that one offers the smartassv2! I guess the Zip version wasn't working? give it a try.. unless you tried the Odin one originally.

@ Agat, with smartassv2, after selecting it, is there any needs to change the values under the governor tab or is leaving everything as it is okay? I'm using SetCPU to detect settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Morning guys. I'm downloading both the zip and tar version and will test SmartassV2 using Tegrak.

I have a quick question and I guess a dumb one. In reading thru this thread and others and I'm seeing alot of excitement over apps to SD.

I've never messed with apps to SD.

Could someone tell me the advantages? Also, are you all moving the apps to External storage or Internal?

Hope it's okay I ask this here. It's just been mentioned alot in this thread.

Thanks. :-)

Like a few other guys already mentioned. SmartassV2 is in the odin version but not the zip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
That's awesome you got the governer working.

Thx again for your help last night, gonna go at it again later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
The only advantage to move apps to SD is to fee up space in your phone (typically not even necessary). It moves the apps from internal storage to external SD. Some apps (especially widgets) will not work from your external SD. Another note.. Your external SD is slower than your internal SD, so some apps that will work from your external SD may suffer a little lag and such.

I'm kind of curious about the real world differences of the new kernels as well. Mainly for battery life. I'm going old school and trying out the Conservative Governor now that it's available. Unless I see lag, that's what I'm going to be testing for now. :)

Here's a breakdown of the different kernels that Ruleus22 posted for anyone that is interested:

I like smartassv2 the best personally. It's sits at the min frequency most of the time but jumps to the max very rapidly when needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
I have an OTG cable but it's at home so I wouldn't be able to test for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xfusejc:
Conservative governor coupled with my -25 undervolting put my phone at a snail's pace. I switched it back to pegasusq. I'm just looking for the best battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
I'm using conservative governor and undevolt -50, 25/1100mhz and running great... (placebo tweaks are awesome). Phaker has tweaked the conservative governor to where it's easy to forget you are using it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I have to say that I'm not very happy with Extweaks taking over every ROM I install it on. Does anyone happen to know where the scripts are that this invasive software leaves on my phone? As nice as it may be for what it does, I do not see any reason why the changes it makes are permanent and require root access to be removed. I have frozen and removed Extweaks and the last governor I had programmed is still running even when the rom I am running has it's own governor programmed in by default. Thanks for letting me rant. If this is by design I apologize, but this is the first program I've had serious issue with. It's like getting infected with spyware, now I need to find the removal tool. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamxnan:
Why oc like doesn't work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You don't need any removal tool.

All scripts are run before init.d scripts and are easy overwrited.

Or if you use any other app that sets governor, voltage and/or cpu frequency. Just make your settings and choose set on boot.

Every time you reboot your phone that app will over write any settings set by ExTweaks.

ExTweaks is just a front end app that is showing you your settings that been set in kernel.

And it allows you to change those settings. By itself that app doesn't do anything.

You can install app again. Change all settings to whatever default you want and leave it there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Is there an easy way to wipe settings or reset them to defaults? Because I worry about all the advanced settings that will never overwritten like gpu, charge settings etc will always remain for anyone that decides to experiment with Extweak. At least with SetCPU, I know once the program is gone, so are the settings. I understand that this is a very nice tool. However, it is also pretty complicated. The average user may decide after playing with it for a while that it's not for them and decide to uninstall it. Unfortunately for them, the changes they just made will stay with them for a lot longer than they really know. I am looking for the alternative to what is beginning to look like a program that is making changes to my phone that I can't change back without doing a full wipe or restore to an earlier point.

I know it's not your fault Agat. All I ask is there an easy way to put things back to default?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Pretty much every settings option in ExTweaks has default samsung number next to it.

I know there are a lot of settings but I don't see any other way but go over one by one and set all back to samsung default.

Or we will have to make 2 kernels. One with all the ExTweaks scripts and one without.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I reflashed kernel so changes must be written to root. I am stuck with last governor plus all other changes unless I reload Extweak or force governor through scripts like init.d. Apologize once again. I will find alternative solution.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There is a line in init.rc that calls for post-init.sh script which looks for settings in /data/.agat folder in default.profile file.

That script should be disabled in kernel so it doesn't look for profile and doesn't run it.

Try to flash my 5.0 kernel. It didn't have extweaks support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
TD I use romtoolbox to change gov and it sticks I think it overwrites extweaks. When I go and check extweaks it says whatever I set in rom Toolbox.

In EXTWeaks the hot plug by default governor when screen off profile, is the governor better than smartass? I use smartass for my cpu and screen screen off profile. Will two different governor's interfere with the system in other words make it twitchy and laggy?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
I'm using both smartassv2 and hotplug in different profiles with no issues... No lag, no choppiness, no slow down to speak of here... So in my case yes using 2 different governors in profiles is possible with no problems

5.4 and FH23 seem to have made me more laggy. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
It's not just 5.4. It seems like that in every kernel version I've tried. I read somewhere by garwyn I believe in another thread that FH23 was a dev build and was really not supposed to get released. That's where everyone's issues r coming from. Until something more stable is released I'm sticking with FH13 for now. U might want to go back to that and see if that solves things .

Just wait till fH23 ROM build issue gets resolved, kernel has nothing to do with the rom being unstable. I for one had to restore back to fh13 and modem too, I lost hotspot which I needed the most I won't flash new build until it's cooked properly...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Well, guess I'll answer myself in this thread... Agat63 reports that this is a FH23 issue in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31063477#post31063477. Going back to FH13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Yeah FH23 was just a dev build and was never intended for release. There are several minor issues with it that will hopefully be resolved in future leaks/ota.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm running it and besides those couple of issues that really don't affect me, I think it looks very promising :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It will work just fine as long as you don't wipe and don't flash anything that wipes cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks for that I wasn't sure what you meant in the other thread. But the FH23 build so far is looking very good. I am not running stock tweaks, 0.5.4 kernal and the phone slept for 7 hours and battery is now 97%. :) I hope they keep whatever they did for the next release. If anyone would like to try it, click on Re-Calked in my sig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
So you flash FH23 over Fh13 without wipe reboot and then flash 0.5.4 without wipe too as well? What about modem FH23 where does it come into the picture? Does the modem get a wipe too...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
This is kinda off-topic. FH23 is very different. Full wipe before flashing is recommended. You can always odin Agats' kernel, it's easier anyway. Modems can be flashed with Odin or CWM. I don't think mobile odin works for flashing Modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I just had bad luck with flashing fh23 over fh13 i m pretty sure that i wiped cache and dalvik for modem and that was probably where the problem began. I just wanted to know how a few manage to have no issues and they didnt provide some info on how they avoided freezing black screens and bootloops. My bad to be going off topic im pretty sure your not upset for steering off topic but i never bricked a phone yet and i dont intend to im just being cautious on how i flash im not a reckless flasher lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RazzTick:
I hate to sound like such a noob but here goes.

Your kernel supports EXTweaks but I could only get to those settings using a ROM such as Blu Kuban. I am currently using Team Rejectz Crack Stock. I have honestly searched all over and can't find the answer. Do I have to have a ROM like Blu Kuban in order to access EXTweaks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
Use root explorer to create this folder and you should be good to go :D

/data/.agat folder will be created (if not there) for ExTweaks profiles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I was running all stock FH13 and was getting very good battery life but no root. Decided to root and install 5.0 and my battery life wasn't as good so I then tried 5.4 and it was worse. While on 5.4 my kernel was at over 75% use according to gsam battery, went back to 5.0 and kernel use went down to 25% but my battery life is still pretty bad. I was first using FH13 modem but lately using FH23, going to go back to FH13 modem and see if that is it.

If not then for some reason I am getting very high kernel useage with these kernels. Rom is stock FH13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm not certain that high Android OS/System usage is indicative of battery life issues in ICS like it did with GB. If the phone is sleeping a lot, the Android System will always be very high because it should be the only thing left running. Are you running truly stock? You should consider running some stock based tweaks like from Kobridge here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668853

I posted a Kobridge kernel fix later on in the thread so look for it also.

It's easy to blame things on the kernel but in truth the newer kernels may require additional 'help' getting tuned properly. If you can establish that kernel changes are indeed the issue, then this is probably true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
I have never had any issues with agats kernals they are stellar on battery life for me :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RazzTick:
Thanks bigdaddy but I'm still confused.

The folder is there but I don't know what to do with those files. I am familiar with the settings from using.ROMs with EXTweaks built in but not directly from the file.

I did google quite a bit but everything points to the EXTweaks app for the Siyah kermel or only mentions ROMs that support it but not what to do.

Is there a thread somewhere that explains this cause if there is it eludes me.

Battery life has been good on this but I would love to tweak it some more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Thanks, I will check out those tweaks, I have never run any tweaks on the kernels I have used. And the stat was actually for kernel and not for android os/system, it showed the kernel at 75%.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

I have been using his kernels as well and v4 was awesome on FF18, have been loving agats work and do not mean to imply anything. But since going to FH13 and v5 kernels I have not been having good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I don't understand what is not working for you.

All settings are done in ExTweaks app and ones you apply your changes values are written into default.settings file saved in /data/.agat folder.

At boot a script will run to look for that file and settings/values will be reapplied.

What part of the process is not working?

Are there any error messages when you apply your settings in ExTweaks app?

Can you be little bit more specific about what's not working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RazzTick:
Sorry agat, this is my bad then.

So I can use the EXTweaks app for these setting? My misunderstanding then since I did find it in the Play Store but the author made a strong statement that it was only for the Siyah kernel.

I'll go get it then. Sorry about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No problem.

We all here to help each other.

Just try to be very clear with your questions and lot of users can help you with most of the problems.

I was confused and thought ExTweaks app is not working for you.

Hope now everything will be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The primary difference is KO tweaks are preset, flash and forget. Extweaks you set tweaks manually the way you want and 'tweak' them from thereon. Many preset ROM tweaks ( built-in or addon like KOs) will override the Extweak settings in most cases.

Edit: However, some roms like BlueKuban are designed around Extweaks. Stock roms do not have any tweaks so no problem there. If you're not sure, ask. We can provide you with the best solution to whatever ROM you may be running if you choose to try Extweaks so they can run at their full potential.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Not really sure what you mean about blu kuban being designed around extweaks. Only diff in my ROM is extweaks comes stock and is in settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey Ruje. Just that your ROM and tweaks are designed to work with it. Sorry if I left out that Extweaks is a stock feature of the BlueKuban ROM. I wanted to let him know that BK is the best ROM to use since they are matched up to work together. ;)

You can try.

If kernel flashes correctly you should be able to boot to recovery via adb.

But if you volume rocker doesn't wrork you cant flash anything in recovery eithere.

You will need it to navigate thru recovery menu.
