Omfg agat! What have u done with this lol! Amazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Glad you like it.

I'm really liking it too.

Much smoother and battery is good too thus far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lei09:
So far this new kernel is w working great on touched by SGIII....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
I have issues with latest 4.3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I wasn't sure how much better it could get but u definitely wow'ed me lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Can you provide some feedback as to what kind of issues you're having?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Screen blanks out, cannot continue

Ok, I saw this posted somewhere but haven't been able to find an answer.

When in ANY Agat recovery (including going all the way back to Stock Kernels), some key sequence I'm using occasionally causes the screen to blank out when I make a selection. I can go up and down (volup/dwn), but when I select something (pwr key), the screen will blank out and won't come back unless I press a different key.

I think I've narrowed it down to something to do with a 'back button disabled' message that comes up below the main menu and I can't seem to duplicate it but the only way out is to do a hot boot with the pwr key. I think I managed to get the 'back button enabled' msg once or twice and then everything was back to normal. Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Never happened to me but it takes a couple seconds to go to the advanced menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I wish. ;)

No, it seems once I get the text message that says 'back button has been disabled', I can scroll up and down through the menus but if I select something the screen blanks out and doesn't come back. Maybe I'll let it sit next time and see exactly how long it will go...

Edit: Ok, now I'm going to have to see if I can figure it out, cause its bugging me LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Funny you say that, I have seen it several times over the last month too. Yea it says Back Button Disabled. I just reboot it and it's fine. I never did figure out what I did to cause it to happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yup, its pretty annoying. I just realized that all of the capacitive buttons on the phone are still active and can be used as menu keys. You can select, scroll, go back etc with these soft keys. I think this may have something to do with it. I flash stuff so frequently that it's become a problem for me as I see it more than the average user I'm sure because I'm in recovery so often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Crappy signal and data speeds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
I never get that message I just use the pwr button and go to the go back on the menu. I never use the on screen keys ( back or home) This 4.3 is sweet so far 13 hours with over 3 hours on screen time with 22% left.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don, I know you've been around here for a while and I've been seeing these little one liners from you lately that aren't questions as much as they are statements. We can't help if you don't communicate a little more clearly and with more detail other than, 'Flashed this kernel, now my data and signal suck'.

I suggest a complete wipe and flash back to a Gingerbread ROM. Let it settle in and then flash a good dependable Gingerbread Modem and test your way back from there. As another user already suggested, it could be a Sprint issue in your area. Heck, I have zero signal here at home and 2 blocks away I have full bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdizzleh85:
pm agat for kernel link working with goodness

How do I pm AGAT? I am on goodness from and could use the link to the newest working kernel for this rom. Anyone that can help out I would appreciate it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
on gb everything's fine

On ics and 4.3 data speeds and signal are crap regardless of modem

On 4.2 everything is fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks for that, much better dude. :) I couldn't tell what you meant. I haven't had time to up to 4.3 yet. Just stay on 4.2 until things get ironed out. Like I said before, I have pretty crappy signal/data here anyway no matter what so I rely on wifi at home for everything so its hard for me to tell for that kind of problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
I get awesome signal at home so its noticeable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Where are you and what modem are you using? I'm in Northern Va near Washington DC and same bars but data has been slower for a couple days maybe due to the crazy weather here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
used fd19 ff18 and best on el29

Central California
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
U guys should try FG20 modem. Very solid for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I'm in DC as well.. I been using ff09 which was the best to me.. Using fd26 now.. Probably switch back..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Binary Droids:
Regarding the 'back button disabled' issue: I believe that the old CWM recoveries had the button disabled by default & you had to press up, down, up to enable it. In agat's kernels, it's already enabled so if you press up, down, up the opposite happens and it gets disabled. I'll test it out in a sec & let you know.

EDIT: OK, it's pretty much what I said above. When AGAT recovery starts 'Reboot menu' is highlighted, if you press up, down, up it basically disables your power button for selecting things. You end up with a blank recovery screen. To re-enable it just do the reverse and press down, up, down.

Dos palos here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Im useing Goodness an the new Kernal isnt working freezes at the homescreen..you said you have a kernal update that works?I was looking back thru the forums an seen one of your posts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It doesn't work either.

I gave link to couple of Goodness users and they told it's not working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdizzleh85:
Whooohoo, finally an answer. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm kinda in'n'out today.

Have a grill/pull party at my place.

Sorry for late answers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdizzleh85:
I meant it with no sarcasm, I am fine using previous versions. They are all great. I'm flashing a stockish rom just to try it out. I can't go without trying all of the latest and greatest! Thanks again. I'm getting yelled at by the wife at the present to get off the phone and get in the river. Enjoy the BBQ and thanks for the awesome kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
I have replicated the disabled message by pressing the up or down volume rocker very quickly .. so if I press up really fast it may disable or the down will. I just press the opposite direction really fast to change it back.

I noticed this when searching through the sd card when locating a zip to flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, I knew if I made a big enough stink, somebody would know what it was. I wonder if this feature is necessary. Maybe it can be removed since it probably doesn't need to there anyway (Agat?) ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
And I wasn't invited! :S
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Lol do you guys not remember the good ole days when the power key was disabled by default? You used to have to up-down-up (or vice versa) before you could even select anything. Now it serves as a less effective noob proofing since the button is enabled by default
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It's my itchy trigger finger getting me in trouble again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
ROFL.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M4ver1ck:
Well it seems 0.4.3 is working great on Super Galaxy Rom 1.7.

Also what are everyone's scores on linpack? I can't seem to get higher than 45 on multi thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
no idea what this measures or how and if low is better than high????? But this one is about average on multi? Is it bad?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Depends. R u overclocking? My 94 is overclocked to 1.4 on Pegasusq.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
That's ondemand, 25 low 1200 high, undervolted slightly across the board.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well then yeah u should expect a low number. The more overclocked the higher the number. Hey that .zip for agat 4.3 u cooked up can I use that on 4.4 kernel? Wanted to ask u before I flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
Lol how you score that high? The highest I scored was 87

My pic was using multi

I'm OC'd to 1.5 with same governor as you & sio scheduler
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Could depend on rom to maybe. I'm just on stock rooted FF18. I also use an app called ad free from the play store that gets rid of all ads on ur device.

Edit: Not positive but by the looks of ur linpack pic it looks like u have ads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yeah, it should absolutely work fine.

It's less of a strain on your phone to place it manually though.... Reboots + Flashing = battery demolishing.

If you wanted that route... Just treat the folder in the zip named "XTRAS" as root directory and place things in their respective paths. So,

/forAgat's4.3.zip/XTRAS/etc/init.d/Blahblahscript =

/etc/init.t/Blahblahscript
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
So did the new version not do good?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
So I had to go back to 4.3. 4.4 got sluggish this morning and would not get out of the 40s on linpack even after a couple of reboots. Not sure why. See how 4.3 goes for a while but I'm pretty sure it was ok.

Edit: So I'm back on 4.4. I don't think it's the kernel. It might be but I think it has something more to do with something dragging down my processor and I'm going to just have to find out what.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
AGAT_v0.4.4 is up.

OP updated links posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
You took my advice :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Oh man, killing me here XD, off away to update I go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
So I think all my problems had to do with the io scheduler. I'll keep an eye on it but device has been great now for over an hr now running the noop scheduler. On smartass too 1400/200. Researched noop a little and it seems like a good one for speed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Why no changelog?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I gots to give it to you Agat with each update battery life keep getting better running smartassv2 100-1000 sio profile set on screen off 50-800... Can't forget about the signal increasing by 2 bars i hope it maintains with this update.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Is this kernel only for ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
OH OH!! LET ME ANSWER THIS ONE!!!

YES it is for ICS ONLY!!

Do NOT install on GB Based Roms!!

"We learn through experience:laugh:"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] catapilla:
Blu Kuban

Anyone flash 4.4 and get stuck in a soft brick loop? Can't get past the galaxy sII screen to boot ani, also lost recovery completely. So, now, to odin I go :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
That sucks. I was switching between 4.3 and 4.4 this morning with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] catapilla:
Odin Worked

I odined the kernel - booted right up. Must have been a bad download. No worries now.

EDIT: Well recovery came back.. now it just gives me the FC's from hell. Rebooted back to recovery and wiped cach/dav - still FC's upon start up with everything. hrmm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
No problems with .4.3 or .4.4 both flashed right after they dropped.

I do wipe caches after flash and before boot every time I load a kernel though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
What rom r u using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] catapilla:
Blu Kubs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I think I read a few pages back that others on that rom were having issues also and that 4.4 was supposed to be a fix but did not do it. I'm on stock rooted FF18 and it's working fine so u might have to wait to see if there's a fix. Again I'm not positive about this but if u look back in the thread a little other people were having same problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njfoses:
Ok, so with no changelog why should i install .4.4 vs staying with .4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I'm not sure of the exact differences but it seems much more snappier and better battery too. Maybe he just didn't get to it yet but it's worth the flash. He used a different Linux set-up and others edits. I don't think u'll be disappointed and if so go back to 4.3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
4.4 has been updated to Linux kernel 3.0.40 vs. 3.0.15 in 4.3. Bottom line in changelog.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
agat anything that we will see some benefits from in the new Linux kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnoh:
With SetCPU, you can set profiles for events such as screen-off, etc. Is there an option in EXTweaks to do that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
New 0.4.4 seems to play well with Goodness Rom. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Dumb question of the year, but i've been playing it safe for the last month and still using Mobile odin el26 to wipe everything and flash roms. I think I'm finally willing to convert. I'm already on this kernel using goodness rom. Is it completely safe to switch between TW roms now? Do backups work as well?

From the reading I've done it looks like the answer is yes, but I'm a natural worrywort which is why I'm asking.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
The kernel itself is very safe to use I've used Agat's (and Chris41g's) kernels to wipe and load dozens of ROMs.

One caveat: Make sure the ROM you plan on flashing does not use it's own 'format/erase' script. Most here are safe with regards to that. They are pretty much all using code that has the offending 'eMMC corruption code' removed.

Always check the OP of the developer. If they insist or recommend on using EL26 - then use it! (Thinking of the AOSP/AOKP and CM builds; though there are now 'safe recoveries for them too!)

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Hey guys!!

A little feed back is greatly appreciated.

After 160 downloads you have nothing to say about 0.4.4?

You feed back helps me to plan my next mode/tweak/addition.....

Please find couple of minutes to type couple of words.

It is very hard to work in the dark.....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
What more can I say lol?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrick_1:
Not working here...

Not on mine running the same ROM...tried twice, got "no service" on lock screen and froze up on both flashes, tried both Mobile Odin and Odin on PC. I downloaded the file twice thinking the first might be corrupt, no dice. All other previous releases have been bug free though...Hmmm

Thank you Agat for all of your labor and goodies contributing to us!!!

(just realized my sig is freakin outdated!!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Gotta get together with rwilco and try to sort it out.

Sorry it doesn't work with goodness. It'a a good rom and we certainly will try to make it work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmocherman:
I'm running 4.4 on two separate goodness e4gts. One is running flawlessly the other is getting the "no service" and random freezes. Both have identical Rom versions, modems, and kernel. Strange....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njfoses:
+1?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
The only thing I can think off would be different build.prop and/or init.d scripts that running with 2 different roms.

May be there is a script conflict or something like that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Honestly I'm kinda busy last few days and wasn't able to run full tests.

But I would like to think:

1. Upgrating/Updating to latest version should be a good thing.

2. It looks like latest kernel version did take care of turbo scrolling (somehow).

3 We're moving forward. :p

4. I pretend that I'm working and making some improvements.

P.S. With new kernel I have Cell stand by on top, screen on second and android OS on third place for battery. I think it's a good thing as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Move ahead I say. 4.3 it slept good and if 4.4 is better then sweet scrolling does seem smoother it takes a bit more to flick it fast. Which is a good thing also the screen seems more responsive also a good thing.

Edit I maybe able to test 4g tomorrow depends on work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Wait wait wait you mean to tell me you got the super scroll thing lower a bit? If so I am definitely going to try an ics rom again with your kernel :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Still get stuck at the lock screen on goodness. What it seems like to me is the touch screen is not working. It will time out after the two minutes like it's supposed to. If I hit the power button out comes back on for two minutes but I can't do anything. Other than that, still the same info so gave you in the PM.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I mentioned this to Agat in pm but with float it here too. It seems like both blu kuban and goodness are effected. The things I know they have in common are extended toggles, extended power menu, rom updater. Maybe someone knows other things they share???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xhibtiion:
I'm confused, does this work with aosp now? It said no before but now the OP has changed but there isn't any indication if that position has changed or not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No.

I'm not doing AOSP/AOKP/CM.

At least not yet.

Chris41g makes kernels for CM and most of I know I did learn from him.

His kernels must be much better than mine.

Check his CM kernel thread.

P.S. I'll change the OP and make it clear again. This kernel is for TW (stock) based roms only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
No its an ICS TouchWiz kernel. They are different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
So is your 4.4 kernel working with all TW ICS rom besides the goodness and blu kuben which I see 2 ppl having trouble with atm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
TBMK yes.

With any other rom you should be good.

And these 2 roms I hope we can add in near future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
Lurking for some time now and finally go onto the ICS bandwagon with Blazer.

Just flashed 0.4.4 and all seems well.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xhibtiion:
Thanks for the clarification. I was pretty sure of that or else I would have flashed. Great work on the kernel, just wished I could use it for AOKP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrick_1:
Thank you Agat, I definitely would love to have the latest under the hood!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
I got nothing to give feedback on, all your releases have worked fine because I only use gmail, whatsapp and tapatalk XD

that said .4.3 Improved the cpu sleeping greatly and so far .4.4 seems to continue the trend. I'll let you know if anything happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Agat great work again!!

4.4 is running smooth for me. Haven't even really seriously messed with voltage and clocking till this evening.

Was getting good battery and great performance with 4.3 with smartass2 and stock everything else.

Just bumped min clock down to 150 and max to 1300, ondemand and io set to noop. Settings kept through reboots so that is good (just using ExTweak).

I'll see how that runs through the night. Gonna try this on a few other ROMs too in the next couple of days since I may actually have some time off.

My battery and preformance have just been getting better with each of your releases.

Fantastic work. Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
@Agat

Just flashed your rom today bro and your new kernel over it. I figured a complete solution based off your work would give me the optimal conditions for my phone. I am really pushing for smoothness and battery life. Really trying to match gb battery life. Anyways so far its smooth as butter i am running smartass for my govener and with tegrak loaded i undervolted -50mah across all steps so we shall see what happens. I do have a lot of email apps that did push based notifications so battery life should be interesting. Gsam reports an average of 17 hours on gb and thats what i am coming from (as i keep going back) thanks for your hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
So if I sum all responses we can draw a line and say this:

1. No obvious problems

2. OC/UC/UV works as it should

3. Nothing did break by moving to Linux kernel version 3.0.40

4. Thus far kernel in not good only for 2 roms Goodness and Blue Kuban.

5. To make it complete for now we have to figure out why kernel has problems with those roms.

Does this sum it all or I missed something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Sounds good here . I don't know if you heard about this or not but a couple of people have reported that the missed led notification bug that exists in ff18 is actually bein fired by the kernel or OS and this wakes the device but because it can not effectively turn on the led it just wakes the device and keeps it awake . Effectively draining the battery. Have you heard of this ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Nope.

That's new to me.

I haven't looked into notification LED yet.

For me it was a low priority.

Once major things have been figured out we can move to all smaller issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
I disable all the lights so I would not know nor care for ****ing notification lights.

Also I'm on stock FF18 as ROMs go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] catapilla:
It comes in handy for some of us...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I guess the point was missed and the fact that the kernel or os is trying repeatedly to activate the led and the fact it can't sounds like an infinite loop keeping the device awake and killing the battery .

There are workarounds to get led notificafions but nothing addresses the deeper device awake issue. So this is more of an awake/battery issue .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Didn't see it in the menu list... how about USB fast charge? Not sure if it currently supports it. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
At first phone was laggy after flashing 0.4.4 through mobile Odin, surfing through Internet and opening apps nearly freezing and stuttering but after applying a reboot put everything in perspective. I even tried oc with Linpack with smartass 200-1400 noop and got very low scores on mflops 56 I don't know that extra tweak you guys are applying to get 96 but you guys need to let me in on that secret...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I dont understand why people are still upset about options that come standard ... Just disable it. Thats what it means. Want the led? No? Yes? You can choose....
