Thanks for the work agat. I am running this on Jellyverse. So far so good. Have did a few tests in recovery and so far not a single problem. I am so happy to have clock and volt control back. You and garwynn are awesome.! Thanks again for everything you do for us.

;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just checked Phil's touch recovery thread.

As I mentioned before to make recovery touch it will need a fully new coding. Far above my head. I'm not a programmer by any means.

This line if from his thread:

"Please, do not ask for touch source, I will never share it, release it public or make it commercial.."

As you can see he did write a fully new code for his recovery and he don't wanna share it.

It's his right.

Version 1.2.0 is up for testing.

Added smartass2 governor and finally enabled extweaks support. Waiting for some feedback before posting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I know some don't like ExTweaks. But I really appreciate your supporting it. I do like it and have found it very easy to configure just what I need.

Thanks for adding those. Looking forward to running it.

Thanks again for the work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
Ready, willing, and able to test...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] svicenty:
I'll give it a go pm me if you want
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can get it from my signature.

GB27 on dev-host.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
So.

v1.2.0 has been downloaded few times.

Can it be posted?

Is it running good?

Are there any problems with extweaks?

Gimmi something to work with guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
Working w/ it... so far so good. Will PM shortly w/ more details, but no issues so far.

EDIT:

Short story: ZIP looks good after quick basic tests.

Longer story:

- Made a fresh nandroid and flashed the ZIP (using garwynns 0.5.0 w/ tREC ?0.3.4?). Booted back into ROM (jellyverse 2.0/GB27) just fine.

- Adjusted OC/UC settings and governor (to smartassv2) w/ voltage control; rebooted -> OK, settings stuck. (will check out ExTweaks support and undervolting soon, thus far just checking basic functionality)

- Rebooted to recovery (confirmed now tREC 0.3.5), made new nandroid (on internal SD) -> OK. Rebooted to ROM, then rebooted back to recovery and restored new nandroid, rebooted to ROM -> everything OK.

Only issue seen: txt displayed in recovery when flashing ZIP still says 1.1.0 :p

NOT TESTED: ExTweaks support; TAR (odin/mobile odin) file.

Edit 2:

Uninstalled voltage control, installed ExTweaks. *seems* to work, BUT thus far OC/UC/UV/governor settings not sticking through reboot. Many possible reasons why that I haven't chased down yet (e.g. could be other things I have installed atm). Unfortunately gotta get some sack time now; will come back & see where it's at tomorrow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Damn.

Forgot to edit updater script in zip.

But I hope kernel version in settings/about phone reads 1.2.0?

If yes then you have right kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
Yep; settings->about phone shows 1.2.0. No doubts this is the right kernel, simply as you say updater script in zip.

Only other thing so far is as I said not seeing ExTweaks settings sticking through reboot, but I can't be sure that isn't an issue with my setup rather than with kernel. Hopefully others can test to confirm or deny -- I have to get some sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thanks for feed back.

ExTweaks are front loaded. So if there is any other app cpu control app or an init.d script they will over write the ExTweaks settings.

And besides.

ExTweaks just an option. Not a must have/use thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
v1.2.0 is up and running.

OP updated and links posted.

Added Smartass2 governor and ExTweaks support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
Agreed... exactly why I left it for last in my list of things to look at tonight. Nice job on this kernel/recovery agat... looks to be my new daily driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Used .tar via mobile odin without issue.

Wiped both caches not problem.

Created nand without issue and it verified (via AFV app - havent yet had time to do full wipe and flash another ROM yet).

I disabled/unistalled all other tweaks and used ExTweak to adjust clock and voltage settings and I was able to manipulate them, but they wouldn't stick on reboot.

I then reset to stock (in ExTweaks app) and uninstalled ExTweaks, rebooted and re-installed tweak apps and tried to overclock and adjust CPU/kernel settings via ROM Toolbox Pro or other kernel apps, and they did stick after reboot.

I'll mess around later and see if something was countering ExTweaks somewhere something probably is.

This is great Agat!

Can anyone test play store connectivity after flashing the newest kernel? Test with 3g, 4g and WiFi. Thank you.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] treyweez11:
I think im confused, is this for TW or AOSP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It's in OP in RED BIG LETTERS.

TW only.

No AOSP/AOKP/CM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Playstore via WiFi not problem, Via 3g connection time out - I've got horrible service (hence the Airave I've got). Can't do 4G at my place, have to wait to get to city
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Is 3g causing connectivity issue with other apps? I am also getting no play store connectivity.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Seems only playstore for me. Facebook works, Talk works, Browsers working, RSS Reader.

Could be a playstore thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:
Testing...

I go from having 3g here, to only having edge (1x)... which means I have to try twice to get playstore to load. In any case, I'm not able to get 3g in 1.2.0 while I'm in the exact spot that I was getting 3g with 1.1.0.

Edit: flashed back to 1.1.0 and still only getting 1x speeds. So it may be entirely unrelated.

Edit 2: I had to kick it in the face (toggle data off and back on again) in1.2.0 to get 3g back, but after doing this, I still have data flapping between 3g and 1x.

I reflashed 1.1.0 and 3g is sticking. No flapping between 3g an 1x. So there does SEEM to be some sort of data connection degradation in 1.2.0.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] treyweez11:
Cant get it to boot. Ive mobile odin'd it and recovery flashed it. Any suggestions? It won't boot past the boot animation. And when I go back and wipe caches it freezes at starting apps.

This kernel does not allow video player to start :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xthedakmanx:
Any chance of having this for the GB28 variant?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
This kernel is same as 1.1 and has only one governor added.

There should be no difference in performans and connectivity.

ExTweaks support is added in ramdisk and should not affect connectivity either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Agat..1.2 working great with deodexed gb27, including video player and no connectivity issues. 1 bootloop that I encountered last night while experimenting with Extweaks (my fault, new to Extweaks, most likely conflict with sysctl script I have in init.d or SetCpu). Thank you again for the fantastic work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I am not saying there is any connectivity issue.

Only play store doesn't connect on 3g and 4g.

Also when ex tweaks settings are applied, shouldn't there be a .agat folder under /data?

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
people who have issues with the kernel can you please post what CPU speed you are using..

maybe if you lower it too much you get issues, things hanging!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
This morning I Flashed 1.1 and playstore worked on 3G.

So..Flashed back to 1.2 and flipped throught sections and it's now working on 3G!

Tried Video player FC'd when opening on 1.1 and 1.2, as someone said, HOWEVER if I select a video via Gallery or any Explorer application and choose the Video Player to play, it it does work on both 1.1 and 1.2. I played .wmv, flv and 3gp

Cleared the app data too. Go figure.

Later when I get into 4G area I'll try some more connectivity stuff. But otherwise all is way good for me.

Thanks Agat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There is a scritp included in ramdisk that should created /data/.agat folder for all the ExTweaks settings to be stored in.

If for what ever reason the folder is not created by the script you should do it manually.

If you have root explorer or similar app you can check if folder is created.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
You are right. The only issue that I encountered was the boot loop last night experimenting with Extweaks. I set a screen off profile where I set the scaling at 100 to 400 mhz for some reason (experimenting). Hung up when I turned screen on, device then went in to loop. Got into recovery, nandroided back, reset Extweaks, lesson learned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Even tho we can UC and UV our phones the experience has shown that

we gotta be very carefull with it.

Our CPU don't like to be UV too much. I never been able to undervolt for more than 50 mv all accross the board.

If I did it more phone became very unstable.

Same goes for UC. Anything below 800 MHz for max frequency never worked for me.

Every phone is bit different and you might get different numbers.

But you should know if you go to low with any of those you can see SOD or bootloops.

It will be not enough juice for phone to run and work properly.

Keep a working Nand and any time you end up in SOD or boot loop restore it and start playing with settings again till

you find the combination that works best for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Totally forgot about that folder!

GB28?

What source is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I think its boost, I believe virgin is gc01

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] infirno77:
Reverse it. Gc01 is boost, gb28 vm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Let me put it this way.

The GB27 was released on Linux version 3.0.31.

Most recent Linux version is 3.0.74.

That makes 43 update patches and to make sure everythig is working we will have to test kernel after every patch is applied.

That mkes it 43 kernels to be tested. Without the phone it will take way too long.

After main stream updates are applied it will take anothe few updates to add all the other stuff to the kernel like governors (best done one at the time), I/O schedulers, OC/UC/UV support, ExTweaks support (if wanted and/or needed).

So we talking total of about 50-52 kernels to be compiled and tested.

I can't do that without phone.

If someone with the phone would like to take a shot at this task I'll make myself available to help with what ever I can.

Set up a build environment, build tree, build script, ramdisk etc.

All it takes is a decent linux machine and a lot of patience.

If main stream Linux version updates are not needed I can try to add everything else and make a kernel with governors, schedulers and OC/UC support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
1) What kind of benefit do we get out of having the newest version of Linux as a consumer not familiar with Linux that much?

2) Don't we have everything working already in 1.2?

3) Could we make the final release without the governors with all the patches included and one with the governers and everything else.. if those 2 work then htere is no reason to do 50 of them.. is there?

4) I am pretty sure Garwynn updated the Linux on his to 3.0.71 without any issues, you can confirm with him.

Edit I found this: post #28 by Garwynn http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=187&page=3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I wasn't talking about this kernel.

This one has been updated to latest version of linux.

I was talking about making kernel for Boost or VM.

As for benefits.

Android OS is based on linux and so is the kernel.

Main stream updates are different minor bug fixes and improvements.

Many can remeber when ICS just came out for E4GT we all had problems with Android OS being at the top of our battery usage statistics and battery life was about the half of GB. ICS kernel source was based on Linux 3.0.15 version.

Simple main stream linux updates to kernel source moved Android OS down in battery usage list and gave us few more hours of battery life.

That's one example what effect the main stream updates can have.

Hope this make sense and gives an answer you were looking for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Hate to throw out such a n00b question at this point in the game, but...

I'm running a fairly stock GB27 kernel with root, etc. One of the early versions from last month. I'm trying to add this v1.2.0 kernel in, but keep getting just past my lock screen & then a reboot. I tried the .TAR via Mobile Odin, and now just tried the .ZIP (via the earlier AGAT GB27 kernel with recovery v0.3.2) but the same bootloop occurs.

Thoughts? Did I miss a step? Did I wipe/not wipe some cache somewhere, etc.??? :confused:

[I'm able to reboot into recovery & drop back to the earlier/working kernel, but would love to use this one as a daily driver. It doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem...operator error on this end, I guess. Ideas? Thanks!]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
oh... Thanks.

So even though Jelly bean was made by google on older linux when a newer linux comes out JB or even ICS would benefit from it..

Anyhow does the idea about just releasing the final kernel with all the patches and see if it works.. does that make sense. release one final release instead of testing 50?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Sometimes patches are not running thru and some manuall typing and coding is needed.

And any typo can break the kernel. It will compile and even compile without any abvious error but won't boot.

So if one of the updates breaks the kernel and we don't know about it and continure run updates till last one and kernel is not working at that point how would we know what update broke it?

It might be the last rigth?

But without knowing it we would have to go back to stock and start the process all over agian.

Believe me. I made few kernels thus far and did run few updates.

Every time I try to cut corners it back fires at me and double or triples my work.

There is an old saying:

" Longest journies and lost paths are starting with words: " I know a short cut".

I did learn the hard way not to try to cut corners but rather walk the proven path and follow the procedure that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
but if the shortcut works..Woohoo

However, YOU ARE THE MASTER... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Fresh example.

If you checkout out my github you will see that update to Linux 3.0.72 is called "faulty update".

I don't know what exactly is wrong with that patch but it breaks the kernel and kernel is not compiling at all.

The patch 3.0.73 is fixing that issue.

Imagin there is no 3.0.73 and the last one is 72. You do all the updates from 31 to 72 just to see your kernel is not compiling.

without knowing which patch broke it you would go back and start from scratch again.

Where in this case I tried 72 couple of more times. Made sure it's the only bac patch.

Trying the 73 (thanks to Garwynn) He suggested to trying just in case it will fix what ever is wrong with to source.

So it was only 1 bad patch. And I knew that because I did compile kernel after every patch and did try it on my wifes phone before I pushed it to git.

Since I make it public and many users will be using it I have the responcibility to make sure it won't cause harm and if it does my phone will be the only one to know that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xthedakmanx:
Actually, gb28 is the Virgin mobile variant
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
What ROM of GB27?

Absolute stock rooted from PC Odin?

Did you flash any 'tweaks'?

When you're flashing via mobile Odin are you checking - "Clear Dalvik Cache"? If so DON"T check that on the first flash. Use recovery to clear it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
So what is next for Sprint GB27.. ?

Any enhancements in the plan? did we milk all we can out of this phone's kernel?

I know the JB X2 cleaner was in the plan..

P.S.> YAY I got up to 50 Thanks lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Still is.

I have few thoughts but since I'm not sure I can make it happen so let's wait and see.

I am loving this kernel. Using hotplug: 100/1000 and SIO and getting amazing battery life. Tried to play with extweaks; they don't stick via extweak app. (but that is prob a good thing, as I don't really possess the proper expertise to be messing with stuff at that layer).

Setup: GB27 (rooted leak), Agat 1.2.0, all init.d scripts disabled/removed prior to and after flash.

Noob Need advice here..

Using gb27 stock deodexed..try flash 1.3 kernel n using extweak to change governor n another value...but after reboot...setting didn't stick...back to default setting..

I have .agat folder in root/data/.agat .. and there is no another script in init.d folder

Any clue for my problem?thx

Nb. What permission i must set for .agat folder?

Coz i create that folder manually
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] treyweez11:
Hey so should we have to change anything in the init. D folder or anything. I've always been confused about that folder. How I install: wipe caches and flash, boot up and use! Is that all that has to be done? And with the agat folder, do we just have to create it and let the kernel do that rest. Hate to ask all the questions but better to know right?

Tapatalk Mobile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
No you don't need to change anything in the init.d folder. That folder is a set scripts that run at boot, just so you know. Yep that's all that has to be done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Well so far my phone hated the .tar & .zip of the v1.3.0 update. I started by flashing the tar in mobile Odin and it seemed to reboot fine. I only lasted a minute or two and froze up. eventually rebooted on it's own. It did this two more times before I decided to delete cache & dalvic. It never was able to finish it's "android is updating" thing as it kept rebooting. I then flashed the zip version and again delete cache and dalvic only to have it keep rebooting over and over. After 5 reboots it still had 40 more apps out of 200 to process. I flashed garwynn's 0.5.0, again deleted the caches and it went right though it's routine and booted fine. I verified the md5's both before and after this little exercise.

I am running the WORv3 rom for what it's worth and the v1.3.0 was an upgrade from v1.1.0 (I never got to try 1.2.0 so not sure if that would have done the same thing.) Also I am using Rom Toolbox Pro to set speeds of 100-900 and pegasusq & sio. I don't think matters since it never finished booting but thought I would mention it.

I am back running v1.1.0 without issue or need to adjust anything.

Please ask me if you want more info or need me to try anything. Thanks Agat. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
The main difference between 1.2 and 1.3 is slightly modified recovery.

In general it's same kernel.

1.3 has been downloaded 70+ times and so fare you're the only one to report bootloop.

So I would guess it's somthing either rom related or may be some other scrips and settings you running.

I have very limitied access to phone (my wife doesn't like it when I take it from her) so I can't do much testing.

She is running stock rooted GB27 rom and all my test runs are done with that rom.

Hopefully more users will step up and give some more info and we can figure out why it's not working for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Ok I am doing some more in depth testing and if worse comes to worse

I'll try a different Rom or clean install just to be sure. Thanks for lookin out for us! :) :)

Edit: 1.2 loops also. Deleted the kobridge 41 tweak and now v0.1.3 works fine. Guess it's the same issue that some of garwynn's kernels had. I tbink it was something with the Hotplug gov. Anyway going for now. Not sure why the v0.1.1 was fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
My two cents, used.tar 1.3 via Mobile Odin, no problems.

Able to use ExTweaks. And all is well. No app problems, paid or otherwise, slightly overclock at 1300, slightly undervolted -25. Created nands and verified via AFV app. Wiped caches no problem.

Make sure when you download you check the md5sum. Also I've noticed in the past that if flashing to new kernel on mobile Odin, do NOT check "wipe dalvik cache".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Once I deleted the kobridge 41 tweak file all was good. I did not initially consider that to be a possible root cause as I was running v0.1.0 with no problems. Unless Hotplug was added or changed in 1.2?? I'm pretty sure that was the issue with some of the earlier kernels from garwynn right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
I always check "wipe dalvik" and have had no problems at all .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaxon01:
Same with me.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Yes, garwynn removed hotplug from his kernels for that reason.

Goddly has altered the Kobridge 41 script (removing 1 line from it I believe) in his latest tweak pack to make it universal with any of the TW JB kernels. If you ask him nicely, maybe he'll tell you which lines to remove (if you still want to use that script)

For some reason I'm getting some FC on my video player won't even open and when I flash to 0.5.0 the FC stops. I'm starting to love this source kernel hope there's a fix on this issue.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea...
