track ICS and/or JB

Will there come any more ICS kernel from CastagnaIT ?

I saw changes for zen scheduler in the github.

Or will there be action for both tracks JB and ICS ?

best combination for stability, lagfreeness and battery

Even if the last kernel version is from 6.11., my conclusion after trying many other ROMs and kernel combinations (GB+ICS+JB)

is that this is still the best combination for stability, lagfreeness and battery:

ROM: CyanogenMod 9 BETA (Build 4) by arco68

Kernel: CastagnaITKernel v7.3 BFS OC/UV version

Governor: Lulzactive

Scheduler: noop

Baseband: KPO

Freq: 1400 Mhz

So many, thanks to CastagnaIT and arco68. hope it will come some kernels (ICS+JB) in the future.

:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] CastagnaIT:
Released new version 7.4

I am aware that the current version of the kernel for JB have problems of slowness,

i could not find a good solution for this, so i look forward kernel 3.x to create a better version.

Good kernel, the antutu score is really high. how come that the ram scores so insanely high? it's like 200 points more then a normal "max" for the i9001. it's always around 550, how do you get almost 300 points more :eek:? did you use zRAM at the screenshot?

And it's nice that you update your kernel so frequently :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] xeGox:

Initially the kernel comes in 3 versions (CFS only for now):

-NORMAL = 352MB of RAM = 720p and 480p recording in every camera app

-MAXMEM = 395MB of RAM = breaks NATIVE CAMERA 720p and 480p recording, so use lgCamera from Market (only 480p)

for me also 7.4 has the best combination with standard governor, but noop as scheduler instead of ZEN.

With ZEN I have some "jumping effects" (hard to describe, but not real lags).

With noop all is very very smooth and direct. IO inclusive network is working good.

Battery seems still great.

Comments are only worth for my ICS combi. Don't know what is the result for JB.

One suggestion, why don't you start developing 3.x kernel? Performance is really awesome and they won't turn down a helping hand to make camera and usb work.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Daniel.96:
I'm trying right now.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] luckana:
it would be cool to have a maxmem 2.x kernel cuz 3.x isnt fully stable

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Daniel.96:
If someone has troubles on Jelly bean, try my kernel. It has no features so far, just a stock Arco's github build, but seems to work well and it's very smooth. Note: This Kernel is provided with no warranty. You are installing this software at your own risk. You may be violating your warranty.

-> Noticed also that my phone is much "cooler" as on other Kernels.

Hey ! Pls don't take me as a rude guy ! But I simply want a cleaner forums that's why I am saying this : Why don't u move this to a new thread so that CastagnaIT Kernel thread remains on the topic ! Also u will get more exposure !!

Anyways, pls pls do not take it badly ! I was only suggesting...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Daniel.96:
I'm compiling it right now :)

Sure, but I thought it fits here nicely because it's a "slim"/stock Kernel without any (useless) feature like the Rom itself and it will offer you, in combination with the rom, a completely "slim feeling". But I'll post my kernels in future in seperate Threads maybe I was just a bit too euphoric ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Shram32:
But what is the difference from ivendor's? You've posted that the kernel has no any features.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Daniel.96:
Don't know, if Ivendor's is based on Arco's or an other, but I compiled it wit linaro 4.4.3 and on Ununtu 12.04.1, so it should be (more) stable, no unexcepted shoutdowns and just stock gouvernators and scheulers. :p

- the other party cannot hear me

i'm using CM9 Arco Beta4 with Castagna Kernel 7.3 BFS, baseband: XXKPO.

Attached logcat.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Alpha120:
Running ivendor's CM 10 alpha 5.

CastagnaIT's OC/UV 7.4 kernel.

Governor. LULZACTIVE

I/O gov: SIO

Best combination, almost no lag even when phone wakes up.

I have been tried other combinations and, I dont know if something was wrong, but every app that I opened, at few seconds, the dialog appears telling you the app is unresponsive and what you can do

Tried to wait (for a minute or so, the same popup asking if I want to close the app every few seconds) and nothing

Phone was so extremely laggy and slow, that I decided to restart.

With this combination, no more problems.

I use CastagnaIT's kernel because the UV drain less battery and of course, BLN. I have become too used to it, that I cant think of not having it working.

I use the 7.4 kernel now for some time and have no problems sofar.

Only I changed the settings of governor and scheduler for my satisfaction.

Tested brood kernel on beta4 ICS against this one, but found 7.4 is much faster and battery save for me.

(general 3G internet access and telephony are used during days; not much wifi)

Hope the developers continue also the 2.6 track for ICS kernels. Good job !

[Request] Big Mem integration

After testing a lot of kernels i always come back to your ics - kernel :good:

In my eyes it is the best package - it is reliable and smooth. Tried to test different adjustments of the lulzactive governor, but your adjustments seems to be the best :good:

So the only thing that might improve the kernels effect on the system could be to provide more memory. Maybe you could implement the so called BigMem Patch - but not if the camera doesn't work anymore - this price is too high

Thx for your wonderful work

Hi,

I'm testing a new kernel from CastagnaIT with BigMem features... 386MB of free ram, but as you correctly understood, the video recording is gone (video app will crash, because mem buffer is not allocated).

From this point of view, I personally do not like the loosing of that feature just to have more ram... The base kernel has 358MB and all is working, so for less than 30MB of more ram I do not think to use in the future a BigMem version (Android anyway will use the available mem following the lmk settings, to cache app and so on)... my personal thinking of corse...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
I completely agree with you.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:

I agree also to your opinions. :good: and the following quote underlined it on my former post. But the additional information about the tested "BigMEM CastagnaIT" was valuable - THX for this.

I've been reading that there is option in this kernel to make HQ photos by deleting 1 file in system/etc/init.d but i do not have that file there. It means that im already making photos in HQ? Files what i see there are: 00banner and 90userinit
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kouros17:
Just install this file from recovery mode.

This will create a script in system/etc/init.d. which means that making photos in HQ.

If you delete this script or not there, it means that the photos will be compressed and not in HQ.

Yeah I always do that.I have reflashed the entire rom and kernel and it's working now.Thank you though.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] CastagnaIT:
Version 7.5 released!

Note:

This kernel now has bigmem by default with 375MB of free memory.

I tuned the bigmem to run correctly recording video in 480P, the video through the browser and on youtube.

Of course recording 720P does not work, it 'was a personal choice, since the video in 720P are not very useful with this device, it is preferable to have more memory, and if necessary, you can still record in 480P.

Last thing, I also remember that HQ photo quality is enabled by default!

I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!:victory:

thanks for your work, but can you make a version with 7.5 updates with 720p capability? (so no bigmem feature? I'm mainly interessed to extreme uv version).

I'm use to rec my trackdays in 720p and the improvement compared to 480p is noticeable.

no need to extra memory cause I'm not a gamer, I prefer better battery economy than pure performance.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
could you also release an JB version(s) ? my opinion is that the kernel doesn't have problems with performance like v7.3 had (JB). THANKS !!!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] smeroni68:
Hi,

me and castagna has discussed about this stuff, and finally both we agree that the quality of 720p (in term of fps) is poor (as a lot of user has confirmed on several post everywhere)... our phone is not able to support on ICS/JB (under develpment with a patched kernel as v2.6 is) a good frame rate at 720p... at this stage, Castagna has thinked to enhance a bit the free ram by loosing the 720p recording capability... this doesn't means in absolute that all the future kernel will be bigmem, but for now it is... you can imagine what means to compile and mantain also a NO bigmem version... it will double the work of Castagna...

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Regarding this point, may be you are a lucky guy, because a lot of users has reported (as me) deep lags on these kernel on JB... a user has just posted on the italian forum that has encountered so big problems that has asked to remove the download of the v7.4 JB... so... as castagna wrote, until a v3 kernel stable will be available, there will be no further updated on that side, and I agree with his decision...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] XeLLaR*:
I dont get why the framerate @ 720p is at like 23 fps while on gingerbread its 30fps.

Is this because of cameraHAL or what is the source of that annoyance?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] smeroni68:
You get the point... unfortunately we all knows that the camera drivers for ICS/JB do not exist for our hardware, so the only way was to patch the problem with a HAL wrapper by using the GB drivers... the result is this!!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Alpha120:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] cryptedvick:
A friend of mine has the original Galaxy S and he's running a 3.x kernel and 720p recording is absolutely fluid. I can say that its pretty much like on GB.
