BTW, I'm not trying to ignore building modded recoveries... (fix/enable hold to scroll, etc.), but work + personal life just has left me with very little time to be online in here doing what I love. I'm dealing with a change in management/process at work (software Quality Assurance) and have taken on housing/caring for a friend in need at home.... getting her back in the work force, etc.... I'll be back soon enough to try and help out where I can... I just need to deal with all of the sudden demands on my time first. :fingers-crossed: Hopefully I'll be able to kick the meetings/requests to fly half way across the country/entertaining house guests soon enough. Seems like life went from relaxed to hectic in the bat of an eye. But I'll be back... ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Been running with the Agat kernels for a while...great stuff. Since this thread is a little slow, I figured I'd ask:

Any reason you guys can think of that my current setup (basic/stock/rooted GB27 ROM, with Agat v1.3.0 kernel) wont put all of the ExTweaks into play? In earlier kernels, it was great (I could get up to 1.4 Ghz with stability, and even down to 25 Mhz during power saving times) but now, with this setup, the only "states" seem to be 1200 -200 & deep sleep, even though I have 1400-25 selected in ExTweaks, etc. I may have played around with one of Kobridge's ROMs/kernels earlier, but I swear I'm on a fresh/clean install of GB27 right now. It isn't the worst thing in the world, I'm just confused as to why the ExTweaks aren't being active outside the 1200-200 band.

Settings from an earlier install? Any way to clear them out, or some place to look for a file overwriting or overpowering ExTweaks? Any way to reinstall GB27 to allow the settings to stick...but still keep my current preferences & layout settings?

Thanks for any ideas. Since we haven't had much new going on with our phones for a while, I thought some of the brighter E4GT minds might have an idea or two. :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
YES,

You need to create a folder

/data/.agat

Make sure to use RootExplorer or some other 'real' file explorer. And don't forget the . (dot)

Create folder, reflash the kernel and you should then be able to access ExTweaks.

Also if you have any other .init.d scripts they may conflict or take over for these tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I searched around here but didn't see any definitive answer, what should permissions for said folder be set to? Or is it just default after creating the folder?

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I left permissions to what they were when created rwxrw-r--

And it worked for me so I didn't even have to think about that. Good point though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Yeah, I've got that folder (still) and just checked the permissions...they (still) look OK. I've got a "profile" all setup and the settings seem to be saved alright...they just don't (completely) go into effect while running on battery power for a day or so. I just get 1200-200 Mhz, even though my profile in ExTweaks shows 1400-25 Mhz. I *KNOW* it used to work in the past, so obviously, it is something I've messed up, or some setting overwriting/overpowering the ExTweaks settings on each re-boot. So frustrating! :(

Thanks for the reply, though. I'm pretty sure my /data/.agat folder is all set as required.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Delete .agat folder. Uninstall extweaks. Reflash kernel. Create folder again. Install extweaks and the only change governor to test and see if it sticks.

Also uc to 25mhz is pushing too much.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
^that^

Thanks Blues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Worked like a charm. Even though it looked like the ExTweaks profile settings were sticking, I guess they weren't...or they were only partially. In any case, we're back!

Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlackPatriarch:
I finally did some tweaking with SetCPU; set the governor to SmartassV2, throttled and UV'd the CPU, and selected the ROW I/O scheduler and have been getting phenomenal battery life/performance. ~25-35% increase in battery life with moderate daily usage versus the stock JB kernel. Bringing up the keyboard and starting non-background programs has been made markedly faster as well. However I have heard some people mention that the smartass governor chugs particularly hard under certain use cases. I noticed that it seems to be particularly bad while the phone is syncing. You can test this by leaving wifi/data off for a period of a few hours and then enabling it. EVERYTHING takes forever for the first 10-20 seconds after turning on data. I hypothesize that perhaps the governor does not recognize the load being put on the CPU by sync operations, and therefore keeps the clock lower than it should. It is quite bad, my phone practically freezes during this time and my live wallpaper updates every few seconds rather than a steady animation.

Yes this occurs with stock voltage levels, but not when a governor other than smartassv2 is selected. The problem does seem to be slightly alleviated by using the CFQ I/O scheduler, but only marginally. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
I've had the same issue. I assumed it was somehow my fault since it only started once I flashed this kernel/recovery (coming from stock rooted). I'm not annoyed enough to do a complete wipe just yet but I'm not sure if it's just smartassV2. Do you have the issue with any other governor? I went back to ondemand and also tried lulzactive and a couple of others just to test. They all had some level of slowdown every so often that wasn't there before I flashed this repacked kernel.

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone else has ideas and I'm up for trying any suggestions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Give pegasusq governor a try.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Samsung Fanboy:
I love this kernel so much, I have not tried out any of the governors or OC/UV, but I have used Zep's V6 Supercharger script along with his kick ass kernel script and patched service jar mods. All is running super smooth for me, thanks again for your time and effort.

so I am running pure stock with just some apps deleted from titanium back up--will this be ok to flash with mobile odin??? then use govs on stock rooted???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
yes.

All features listed in OP are kernel features and will/should work with any rom.

But you must be rooted to use mobile odin.

Since you have TB I assume you have root.. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CollinsB:
Know issues??

Ive been running agat's V1.3.0 kernel, and ive been lovin the bootanimation/overclock support. But every time I flash something in recovery the battery drops to almost zero no matter how much battery i had prior to flash. The battery percentages changes drastically randomly too. Also after i unplug my phone from usb, it can take up to 20 minutes for my music/pictures to appear. Sometimes even when my phone just boots up.

does anyone know if this is a known issue with the kernal, or is it something else??

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fugi888:
worked like a charm! Thanks Agat!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
This is something else, I've been running this kernel since release and never seen that. The percentage drop is fairly normal for a variety of reasons though it shouldn't be that much of a drop:screwy:

Oh, oh well. ill just remember to keep charged when flashing. Maybe it will get better overtime.

thanks though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
Had anybody looked into how to change hard settings in the governors yet? I've mentioned this on page 25-26 and wasn't sure if I missed the solution. It was referring to not being able to change the Sampling_rate_min from 100000 to 40000 for the conservative governor. Any value I try changing this to instantly reverts back to 100000. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this after a fresh ROM flash and this kernel without any tweaks, so it's something with the kernel/governor not allowing the changes to apply. I haven't really tried changing other values in other governors, only the above scenario.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Hey Agat i reflashed you kernel and is defaulted at 25-1000 pegasusqs/cfq... I try setting it to different frequency and after boot it goes back to default...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Did you set those frequencies as boot settings?

If yes what app are you using for settings?

I have used Voltage control mostly and never had any problems with settings not sticking.

And another note.

Make sure you don't have any other app that messing with settings as well and there are no init.d scripts either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
i do have apply on boot settings and i am using rom tool box /cpu control...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you have it set to be applied on boot than I don't know why it's not working.

If there's nothing else present that prevents that app to apply settings it should work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Theres some tweaks script in the init.d folder but i dont know how to remove it i dont want to bork anything...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Init.d scripts is more than likely taking over. Move files from that folder to sd card and then test.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Thanks! I guess goddly recommended to remove pegasusqs default scripts and the issue will stop...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:

I have a quick question for this thread, I tried out voltage control and it always force closes on me. I do use V6 supercharger script ( best mod on xda imo) but the dev said oc/uv don't conflict with his scripts. Now when I tried out set cpu it works flawlessly. So I want to know what apps do people like to use for oc/uc?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I never used V6 supercharger script so can't say anything about.

But I also never had any problems with Voltage Control.

Several issues with the current kernel:

Flashing full ROM's is hit or miss. Mostly miss for me, I gave up a while back. Works fine for everything else. ROM's just hang at Samsung logo or bootloop.

Some users report this as working fine for them for full flashing, others are having the same results as I am. (ie. hit or miss ;))

Some sort of mounting issue that is preventing the stock Video Player app from running. My guess is it's trying to access SD before fully coming up. Verified this by installing stock deodexed GB27/stock kernel. Video Player runs fine on pure stock. Then flashed Agat 1.3.0, app force closes. Flashed over to Garwynn's 0.5.0 kernel and app runs fine again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Well that explains a few issues I have been having especially with video player force closing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Link above will hopefully help ya with the recovery side, the video player is still a mystery... though I think I might know where it is... there's a difference a few files between the two kernels that has to do with divx drm or something... it's just a couple of lines either removed or added... and then there's a permission set differently, if I remember right... I'll dig into it a little bit, but I'm heading out in about an hour, so I dunno how far I'll get.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
Please forgive me if this is a dumb or out of line question... But what would be the difference between the 1.3 and this one?

Again thanks for the advice and help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
You should see my post in another thread totally negating your advice. The one with 3.5 bailed me out of a Samsung Splash loop. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:
The difference from Agat's original 1.3.0 before he put 3.5 recovery in it would be that I removed the adaptive governor. It was hanging. Differences between this and agat's newer 1.3.0 with 3.5 recovery would obviously be just rolling back the recovery to something that wasn't giving us problems. If you're not having any issues with what you're running then there's no need to grab this one. I just was contacted today about 3.5 backup not working, so I threw this up as a temp fix until I can figure it out.

Backup named 2000?

Hey all, my nandriod backup named itself 2000 instead of 2013 like the rest of them. I deleted it and redid it but it named itself the same thing. Is this backup corrupt?

Thanks :)

UPDATE: I restored the 200 update a couple of days ago and it restored fine. It was not corrupt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If it's corrupt you will be first to report it.

Kernel has been downloaded almost 800 times and there are no reports of corrupt back ups yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CollinsB:
oh that sounds good. but just in case it is corrupt, will i still be able to odin to recover, or will corrupt backups HARD brick my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Corrupt back up should not hard brick your phone.

And if only boot partition back up is good you will be able to boot to recovery even if system partition has been corrupted.

In worse case if boot partition is corrupted you still can boot into download mod and flash tar file (kernel or full rom) via odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CollinsB:
Thats good to know, thanks for the great help :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
v1.4.0 is up and running.

Updated to Linux version 3.0.82.

Added Frandom module on popular demand.

Kernel will check the presence of module and if found (and it will) it will insmod it.

All you have to do is install croosbreeder and verify if frandom working.

It has been tested and confirmed works.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Will spin it now.

Thank you T for all the work!

Edit: downloaded and check md5 on PC. One question the file sizes are considerably smaller (almost 2mb) than the 1.3 is this correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
As for Garwynn's kernel bootin with any JB rom I can't say anything.

Since I don't have the phone I haven't try anything like that.

You better ask that question in his thread.

As for your questions:

1. Touch recovery will need a full over write of recovery binaries and source code.

Far above my head.

2. That is worked on. Hopefully will be added soon enough.

P.S. Cake didn't just look great. I tasted good too. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
I have never tried the AOSP but people in the other thread said the y can use that to switch between ROMs. Any reason this would not be compatible with non TW ROM?

Thanks for explaining the touch screen thing, I always wondered why not. Maybe for Galaxy S4.

Again thank you for working on the recovery for our phones..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Using kernel/recovery combo to switch between roms that's one thing.

Booting rom is different story tho.

You can flash the kernel in recovery and reboot to recovery to flash a new rom that will work with particular rom/OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
It's been a while sense I've been able to overclock and undervolt etc... If I remember correctly, profiles support is something to still be added into this kennel before they can be used in like setcpu/extweaks/ ROM toolbox... Correct?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can use any of cpu control apps like Tegrak, SetCPU, Voltage Control, Rom toolbox etc.

Just make sure the app you wanna use has been updated to support JB on E4GT and use one app only

so they don't go into conflict with settings.

So far I have tried Voltage control only and it works just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
In the past, we've experienced issues using profiles in apps such as SOD when a profile was set for screen off, it wouldn't comes back on..... Until something was added to the kernel. I was just wondering if that is still true or if it should be safe to do with kernel as is. I remember when extweaks support was added, we could set screen off profile to 25mhz with no SOD.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I did try to add extweaks support to the kernel but it didn't work.

in the past we did find out that extweaks doesn't work with newer versions of busybox.

I did try to use older version of busybox but kernel would not boot with it.

I'll keep trying and may be it will work one day.

As for other cpu control apps I can't say much. There are too many and i didn't try all of them.

I'm using voltage control on my GS3 and it works best so I tried it on this phone too.

I did try different frequency settings, governors and schedulers.

No SOD yet.

Didn't try to undervolt tho. You should be very careful with undervolting since our cpu's don't take it well.

This will not boot an aosp rom. Don't even try. You can use it to flash an aosp rom, which will in turn flash a new kernel that will boot the rom.

He put the kernel in Original development because it is his kernel that was built from source.

The other one is in regular development because it is based off of Agats work. Either way there can never be too many kernels. Bring em on!
