I use nofrills and i have to reboot /power off using the ics menu instead of quick boot orany other fast reboot. Otherwise the setings revert to ondemand 1200 1200
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That makes sense. A quickboot/hotboot would skip certain startup sequences.

installed 0.4.0 over the weekend. Wanted to give it an few days before I post any feed back. So far so good, everything is going smoothly. Flashed Blu Kuban, then your kernel on top of the ROM. Ever since you implemented the smartassV2 gov, I've been getting great battery life on ICS. Extweaks is working as well for me. Only tried it for a day, but I still prefer setcpu for my tweaking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Yo agat do you have any intention on adding more tweaked governors??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koserman:
This thing has been running fabulously since I've implemented your kernel kind sir! Other than having discrepancies with ExTweaks and CPU Spy, the experience has been quite fantastic and I appreciate your work :D I hope to learn how to better use ExTweaks to squeeze every bit of performance and battery life out of this phone as possible ;-p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I have a lot of plans for this kernel.

Don't want to talk bout them just in case I can't do it.:laugh:

Aww cm on this is development!! Talk about it!!! Sheesh ...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I've had several reboots when making phone calls. Usually immediately after I hang up, but a few minutes ago it rebooted mid call. I have not been using any overclocking or anything other than just flashing the kernel.

Had to flash back the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What rom you on?

Shouldn't be kernel related since I didn't have a single reboot so far and kernel has been downloaded over 500 times and no reports of reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I'm on full stock FF18. And it has to be kernel related because it does not happen with the stock kernel (and hasn't happened since reflashing the stock kernel). The kernel is the only thing that I changed. I wiped cache and dalvik-cache after flashing your kernel to eliminate any problems.

Reboots happened on 0.3.0 and 0.4.0, and with modems FF18 and FG20
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Don't know what to say.

These 2 kernels have combined download count of about 1000 and you're first to say it cause reboot.

Never been on full stock rom don't know how it's working.

For now I have no idea what and where to look for to fix if it needs a fix.

Gotta wait to see if more users experience this problem.

Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Kernel is great agat, no reboots here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Theres plenty roms you can flash and retain the stock look my friend. Calk/blazer roms are of highiest stability/battery/performance. And plays well with any of agats source built kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
The point is that the kernel should (theoretically) work with any TW based rom.

And more so should work with stock rom where no changes/tweaks/mods are added.

Bottom line both kernel and stock rom should be build from one source.

If kernel doesn't work with stock rom that should mean something can be wrong with kernel. I'm not saying that

stock rom is error free and perfect but there is a possibility that with all the changes I introduced to kernel I broke something.

If it's so I would like to know that and try to fix it.

Yellow triangle? Is that a bad thing? As long as I can do it I guess. Just don't want a brick lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It's not bad or good or anything.

It just tells any techrep that you're running custom binaries. That's all.

And I hate the look of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
But there sure are easy solutions... Such as TraingleAway in the play store... Works like a charm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Since I'm mostly using heimdall to flash new kernels when developing and trying I'm using triangle away all the time.

It's paid up but it worth every penny and more.

Agat, is it possible to add function to the recovery?

I would like to be able to view file details, rename, delete (with a 2ndary confirmation of course) and possibly move file?

Are any of those functions possible? And if so, can we already do that? I've never come across those functions if they are available

I know it's possible.

The questions is can I do that.

I have seen option to delete, copy, move files in recovery like with root explores.

Don't remember rename tho.

It's some really worth trying.

No promisses. I'm a beginner and still learning.

As stated in OP.

This is TW kernel only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robpet2:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Are there plans to make an aokp version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
After little bit optimization of this one I might take a look but to best of my knowledge Chris41g is working on CM9 kernel which can be used with AOSP/AOKP AFIAK,.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Is there a way to force the phone into deep sleep when locking it? I run whatsapp and gtalk and theres probably something else around that keeps the phone awake.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Install gsam let it run for a while off charger. The go into app sucker then in the drop down select the option view by held awake time. That should give you a good indicator
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Yeah i know i got a few culprits I just dont want to get rid of them :p

Hence force deep sleep
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If there is an app that keeps you phone awake I don't know if it's possible to force deep sleep except for killing the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Placebo forces deep sleep :) (ftmp)

especially after tomorrow since I just solved kobridges unicorn :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Without closing app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I have had similar issues as well. One thing I have pinpointed is that my Hotmail app on ics holds a wake long for extreme periods of time it's like it Gets stuck. Then when I flash back to el 29 running same setup app releases lock as expected. And it sounds like other people are having similar issues I'd really like to pinpoint the root cause. How can the exact same appreciate release the wake lock find in one version of android but not a newer version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just implemented STweaks from GS3 kernel.

Kernel boots and i looks like it works.

Gotta be up by 4 am and in the plane by 6 am.

I'll run new kernel for a day to see how it works.

So no upload today. Hopefully can upload something tomorrow.

I'm calling it a night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Well, the activity will go dead but as log as the cache is in tact it will awaken.

(i think?)

Thats how the powersave governor works. Ive been trying to give a similar ability to conservative..

Pretty sure I have it. I know for wifi its gtg and that was my main concern for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
So I knew that I was doing this right but is this right? You can see right where I figured it out lol those lines are perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
Agat63, so maybe this is why we all have wifi disconnect issues in sleep? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28699904&postcount=6509

Can this fix be incorporated into your new kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
That really has nothing to do with the 'wifi disconnect issues during sleep'. The post you're referring to is in reference to an issue where devices will not enter deep sleep, or will wake, because the wifi modem (when configured to 'Never' turn off when device sleeps), is receiving random packets from a wireless router, presumably waking the phone or preventing it from sleeping.

Since I'm already chiming in here, let me add this:

--This is NOT a hardware issue, and I'm fairly sure its not an Agat kernel issue. What makes me think this?

I had the same issue beginning with the first ICS Rom I tried. I stuck w Blend ICS for a while, and the issue remained even as I progressed through several Agat kernels. BUT - when I switched to Goodness rom, the issue vanished and has yet to return (probably around 3-4 weeks now), and that includes having been on Agat's 0.2.1, 0.2.3, 0.3, and now 0.4.

I'm not blaming Blend or crediting Goodness, because there could be other factors involved, but I hope you can see why I don't think it's hardware or Agat's kernel.

PS, I'm using the FG20 modem, but I'm almost certain that the issue was gone on FF18 as well after I switched to Goodness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
If you are talking about my post... I was suggesting that both issues have been solved.

While on "never during sleep" it sleeps exactly as the phone does and ONLY awakens after you turn on (usually as you touch it for the first time).

Similarly , set to "always during sleep" and it does just that.

Unless you were talking about something else?

Same script, running first full cycle now.... 4 hours 19 minutes screen on time as it hit the 50% mark. Was hoping 5 total screen on but if itll gimme 8! Ill take it! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] angst911:
I feel like a total NEWB here.....

Can anyone explain to me how you use any of these tweaked governors?

What is this higher power draw option for USB? How do you enable/disable it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Phaker can you install some email apps like Hotmail or setup exchange maybe gmail and see how it performs ? See if your device still goes into a deep sleep as you would expect?

This is how el29 appears to work however I personally have trouble in this area and my device does not always go into a deep sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I have everything installed. Although, ive never been a huge fan of the gmail app so I route my gmail through the email app.

Is there something specific you want me to look into?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koserman:
The ability to change your governor is under the CPU tab in ExTweaks. Specifically, under "DEFAULT CPU GOVERNOR" There, you can select things like ondemand, conservative or smartassV2. I believe most have had success with the latter. The high power draw from USB is for, essentially, how fast your computer will charge your phone by increasing power to it. This option is also in ExTweaks under the "MISC" tab. It will allow your computer to charge your phone as fast as your wall charger would. It's not necessarily the safest thing in the world but not many people have had issues with it from what I understand. Anywho, Biochem 3 test tomorrow so I gotta run. Good luck!

P.S. I have found that AnTuTu will report the CPU frequency correctly during benchmarks even though CPU Spy is still oblivious ;-p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Can i flash AGAT_v0.4.0 kernel over an older kernel? Would i have to wipe cache and davlik as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I use the Hotmail app with push notifications enabled and this appreciate always seems to have a crazy wake lock bug where it doesn't release the wake lock properly and the phone won't go into deep sleep. Sometimes I will see it holding the lock for 20+ minutes. But doesn't seems to happen on el29 very odd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M4ver1ck:
For some reason my battery never gets to 100% while charging with this kernel.

Running caulkins 1.6 and agat 0.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SweetwaterBurns:
I've seen similar in kernels for other Samsung phones, so this is just an educated guess.

I think what's happening is that one of agats changes caused the kernel to report an accurate charge as opposed to the Samsung default.

When you charge your phone, it actually stops charging for a while and drains 5 to 10% and then starts charging again. This is a safety measure to keep the battery from over charging and setting your house on fire. Stock Samsung kernels tend to report a full charge even if it is on the low end of the drain recharge cycle which is why that first 10 percent can seem to go so quickly. On some kernels that false reading is replaced with an accurate one and your battery might not be able to charge to a full 100% just because of normal wear. Again, just a guess, but a similar thing happened on my captivate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshuadub:
I flashed latest kernel and I seem to only have 1 bar of signal and data is extremely slow no mater where I go I updated profile + prl still the same. any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
This should allow you to flash a CWM flashable Modem.zip, but what that is in reference to is if you flash a rom.. It won't update the modem. (eg. EL29 to FF18 you would still have EL29 baseband radio ) You would have to flash the modem separate with cwm or Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Must be your local towers. This kernel shouldn't affect your radio at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshuadub:
Hmmm I guess I'll just wait it out. Thanx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
You realize, Calkulin's 1.6 is an old, prereleased, unsupported rom now right? It was based on FE series leaks and not on the released code. Also, Calk has moved on to other phones and networks so you'll probably not get an update.

Maybe.... it's a conflict with old code vs new code in this kernel?

Maybe time to find a new rom, wipe your phone and start fresh and clean and see if your issues go away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
+1 char
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koserman:
Wiping cache/dalvik cache is always a great option when updating to new kernels to hopefully avoid any unnecessary bugs caused by conflicting code :) Many kernels have a wipe script built in but, just in case, just play it safe!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:


I used mobile Odin so I figured the app did the wipe as I only flashed it... Thanx for the heads up anyways!!!

AGAT_v0.4.2 is up and running.

OP is updated and links posted.

4.1 was a failure so we skipping one number.

Mostly cleaned up and fixed the OC/UC/UV not showing and working properly bug.

I have tested it with NoFrills, Tegrak, Rom Toolbox, ExTweaks and STweaks.

Clock is set for values from 25 MHz to 1.6 GHz. I don't think any higher values are needed.

Min frequency can be changed in 25 MHz steps in ExTweaks.

Hope got it all working properly now. If not you guys will tell me.

What is the suggested settings for governor, etc for someone who does NOT want to overclock, likes battery life but also responsiveness?

Right now, I've got it set to SmartassV2, 200-1200 default speed, and -50 undervolted.

Oh yeah, using ExTweaks.

I really don't want to underclock either. Some of my games really tax the CPU at times.

I'm using the FG31 modem.

What I don't know is what all the other settings in ExTweaks are.

Gentle_fair sleepers?

CFS tweaks?

CPU idle mode?

IO scheduler?

etc.

More options there than I know what to do with. :)

Agat you certainly did fix the bugs bro fantastic job. I see cpuspy reporting all steps as well ad my other tools. Also there is a noticeable performance gain.

am i doing something wrong!? i set the sliders via setcpu to 200- 1500 but whenever i run benchmarks, seems as if the cpu never goes above 1200 UNLESS i use " performance "... if i set it say 200-1600 ondemand or smartass... seems to still only top out at 1200... i guess in other words unless i use performance, it wont over clock....now.. i did set it at 1400-1600 ondemand and it still said current frequency was 1000.... then i changed it to smartass 1400-1600 and current frequency was 1200.. is this normal or did i miss steps!?
