Sorry to ask again, but what you think it's best swap or zram. My opinion is that zram is faster and swap gives you more multutasking.

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Best is nothing xD Both makes phone slower.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
EFS Backup/Restore Workaround FINALLY FIXED!!!! I will release next kernel with this update. Now works great and at second reboot all will work as should :D (first boot, if u see imei problem u must reboot).
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
All GearKernel versions updated to 1.0.9 :D

Biggest bugs fixed are EFS Backup/Restore Workaround and Recovery for ICS :P

Enjoy!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Fixed Boot Problem on some roms (ultra tested :eek:) and Fixed ICS Recovery. Building all kernels (1.0.9v2)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel v1.0.9v2 released for all devices and android versions with boot problem definitely fixed and ics recovery full working :D

Enjoy!!!
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
boot is fixed, but now theres a problem with Wi-Fi, it keeps telling that ''Wi-Fi is turning on''. Tried reflashing, didn't hlep. Flashed back to previous version and everything works. This is Captivate JB MIUI GearKernel im speaking of.
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
I'm having problems with the kernel since yesterday nightly. One IMEI lost again and a lot of error booting on Android, process error.

I just install factury rom 2.1.1 to recover IMEI, update to kk4 then install nightly. And all was working perfect, then I install again the kernel and with the same results. IMEI lost ans process errors.

Now I'm just in today nightly with the kernel included.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Sweet! Default speed is 200000mhz! So apx 195.3GHz! It's a beyond world record! Does it effect battery life or heat much? Lol :D :p
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Something awesome is coming ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
New GearKernel 1.1.0 Universal & ICS is out!

Universal means that this can be used on 4.1/4.2/4.3 and MIUI Roms without flashing different kernels, just flash one kernel for all JB Android Versions :D

ICS Kernel is separated since it have different GPU Drivers and Partition Layout

"s" version of Universal Kernels doesn't patch automatically rom when you flash zip package via CWM. You need to patch your rom as indicated in first post manually. (ICS "s" Kernel still patches automatically rom :) )

Enjoy and leave here any feedback (negative or positive ^_^) !
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Do I need to install the patch for the s version everytime I install a new nightly in CM 10.2
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Unfortunately yes. Auto-Patch System isn't working with new Universal kernel so i removed it. It is working only for ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Are you enjoying latest kernel version? :D
[Captivate Android Development] besembel:
can be used with cyanogenmod 9.1 ?.

do you know other active ICS rom ?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Yep. I know also F4K ICS rom :)
[Captivate Android Development] besembel:
Please give me the address of F4K ICS rom, using the search, not out
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
It's working perfect. The only thing that I'm not clear is how to use the zram scrip. I'm currently using zram in cm 10.2 using the memory management settings. It's there any difference than using the zram scipt?

Also can you just post the file for zram in the op. So we only need to copy it to system ini.d folder.
[Captivate Android Development] ajeesh vijayan:
does this kernel have semaphore touch wake and auto brightness settings?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Yes
[Captivate Android Development] ajeesh vijayan:
how to control kernel properties? gear tools link?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
GearTools is installed automatically when you flash kernel. For semaphore features u need semaphore manager
[Captivate Android Development] afaneh92:
any kernel for kitkat
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Only when cm11 nightlies will be released.
[Captivate Android Development] afaneh92:
unofficial cm11 released for 9000

we need kernel to taste some kitkat
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Yep i know, but it is still in testing and if you want to taste an unstable kitkat ROM you can use stock kernel. I release my kernels when ROMs are usable daily so I don't have to change lot of things different times on kernel source.
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
sc version çan be applied to cm10.2 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
universal sc yes :)
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
Latest sc on 10.2 crashes vídeo.. Can't play anything.. Any solution?

Enviado desde mi SGH-I897 mediante Tapatalk
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Flash BigMem patch from first post. Universal version can't patch anymore automatically ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
Missed that on op. So many Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel Universal & ICS 1.1.1 Released :D

Enjoy!!! (and also eat a KitKat ;) )
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
GearKernel 1.1.2 Universal & ICS Released!

Enjoy :D

P.S.: Test EFS Stuff, maybe now we won't lose anymore /efs with GCC 4.8.3, who knows ;) EFS will be backupped on sdcard when you flash the kernel so now we don't have anymore to worry about it :)
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
I still have efs issue. Here is what I did:

1. Install CM ROM (official cm 11 nightly)

2. reboot. all fine.

3. Flash Gearkenel .v1.1.2, reboot. all fine

4. update cm nightly, reboot, efs lost (the folder is empty)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
When you updated cm nightly you haven't restore my kernel. BTW, you can restore efs from sdcard.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
This time I flashed Gearkernel just after CM update, it's fine now.

Thanks.

Another problem, the gear tool settings will change back to default after reboot, even if the kernel version check in ignored. I'm on latest CM 11 nightly 1222 and gear kernel 1.1.2 sc.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Try to flash SuperSU from CWM or install it from Play Store. It works fine with SuperSU but with Superuser Stock app not so much :/
[Captivate Android Development] xtmp:
Flashed gearkernel 2 cyanfox 2.0.1.

Kernel is very laggy. Part of settings not stick.

After restored from nandroid efs folder was empty. Copied it from backup, change permission and owner of nv_data, clear nv_data md5, reboot after each operation, but no luck. Imei was empty. Restored imei only when flashed one click 2.3.5.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Yes, every single time I flash this kernel and change after to something else (flash different kernel, restore backup with different kernel, flash different ROM, etc) the IMEI gets wiped. It never had IMEI wipe with Semaphore or default CM kernel. It's definitely kernel related issue. Alberto96, please look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] desiromeo719:
Damnit I have the same issue! Can someone help please?! I was barely able to get back into recovery and restore a backup...but now I have no imei either... What can I do to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] Nihar:
flash back to stock...

that's the only way if you don't have an efs backup.....
[Captivate Android Development] desiromeo719:
Thanks for replying. I do have a backup of the efs folder and when I copied all the contents over to the empty efs folder and reboot, it still doesnt work. Im sorry im not familiar with this phone anymore and do this for my brother...How can I flash the one click thing? Is that going back to stock? Then can I nandroid restore?
[Captivate Android Development] Nihar:
if you had a complete efs backup it should work..

if it doesn't work, after restoring the efs folder, try flashing a new rom..

i think that should work
[Captivate Android Development] desiromeo719:
well the .android folder in the /efs folder is empty...only thing i noticed...rest of the files are there..the imei folder has files in it...I will go ahead and wipe and try to flash a new rom now that I have restored the efs files....

edit - OK THAT WORKED! after restoring the files to the efs folder and then going into recovery and wiping then flashing a new rom it seems to be working again! Thanks for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
If you flash gearkernel after the installation of cm rom, all will be fine.

If you then update cm nightly but don't flash gearkernel, efs will be lost, modem will be unknown. You can try to restore efs, and reflash a modem, in my case all will be fine again.
[Captivate Android Development] Darian71:
Any chance alberto96's universal Kernel would work on the Galaxy Grand duos I9082? Or has he made one for this device? I'm currently running the latest on my cappy, just looking for alternative Kernels for my Unofficial CM11 Grand by pawitp. (I know, off topic, and noobish, but I really really like alberto96 kernel) Last Antutu score with latest alberto96 kernel on my Captivate running CM 11 4.4.2 with 200/1400mhz & sioplus gave me a 5917 score!

???
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
I reach more than 6500 with 124% LiveOC.

I don't have Galaxy Grand Duos, if you know other users that wants my works on it ask for donations ;)

If I reach enough money to buy it, I will for sure.
[Captivate Android Development] Darian71:
Gotcha! ;) I'm guessing my hardware won't handle much Live OC, even on 1200 the most I can OC is up to 108. Anything Higher than that my phone freezes and reboots to recovery. The only kernel option we have for the GT-I9082 is k2wl's, which is getting better, but with a dual core processor w/o Rev, the highest score I've obtained is in the 12000's. THANKS! :thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] matttheman:
pleaseeee

Hey there Alberto. Your a freaking awesome developer and awesome kernel as well. Thanks so much for bringing our phone back to life and super charged it. One question. How'd you get the charging shutdown logo when turned off working and customised it ? Would really like to know ?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Check samsung i9000 init logo on google, you should find a link to github that explains all :)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Happy new year to all GearKernel users! ( And also to others ;) )
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
Gear kernel and IMEI

+1

I like this kernel, but if I want to test any others I have to go through a rather involved process and waste a bunch of time getting my IMEI back. It returns immediately if I flash a backup and immediately Gear kernel, or a new ROM and immediately Gear kernel, but if I am trying to test a new ROM's built-in kernel the process is just too much. I thought I was lucky that I had never run into an invalid IMEI scenario before now, but I have been dealing with this over the past few weeks constantly. Any thoughts on what may resolve this for Gear kernel users, in some form of kernel update perhaps?

Thanks for all your hard work, I ran your kernel with Hellybean 4.2.2 for months and loved it, but recently switched to 4.4.2 ROMs and kernels and this is a little frustrating. :fingers-crossed:
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
For no IMEI issues when you update ROM just flash the kernel after you flash the rom without rebooting 2 times phone to recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
OK, but it leaves us no option but Gear kernel.

Once flashed it's like a virus, no way to remove it without restoring stock ROM first. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Ahahahah like a virus XD

Seriously, when you flash kernel efs will be backuped on sdcard. If you lose it, just a modem and then restore efs manually. No need to go back to stock every time :P
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Make a backup of EFS folder and have a modem.zip ready in SD card

Make a nandroid backup.

Wipe and install a 4.3 rom: magically the IMEI is restored (if EFS folder and your modem are intact)

Install a 4.4 rom and after that restore your data from nandroid
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
different kernel after Gear flash

I read your post over two or three times and tried what I think you were suggesting- I flashed another kernel twice in a row without rebooting recovery and it worked, I still have my IMEI. Thank you!

Long story is: I had Gear kernel installed, I flashed another kernel and rebooted to Unknown IMEI and Unknown Baseband. :( I booted back to recovery and flashed a modem (KG3), then that other kernel twice, THEN rebooted phone to find my good old IMEI back again. :) Thanks again [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

Edit: until I found my app data gone, sigh. But Nandroid restore, then new kernel twice and reboot worked. So far.
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
Gear 1.1.2sc

Well, back to Gear kernel! Your kernel has the features and performance I am looking for, and works well with my setup. Keep up the good work [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]!

I tried 1.1.2 and it breaks mp4 video playback, likely other format as well. I am using it on CyanAOSP-K44. Flashed back to 1.1.1 and all is fine.

Is there a way to enable Fsync?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Restoring all Downloads right now, i'm restoring latest backup.

For new kernel, i need time. Maybe i will make a new Kernel without Semaphore Base for no problems with EFS, but i need a lot of time and school is limiting me too much.
[Captivate Android Development] tork0112:
Thank you for your work.

Im wondering if amyome has had charging issues after flashing kernel? I would say its my battery but I have tried it with a new one as well as a new charger.

It wont charge past 37% whether phone is on or off. If you leave it on charger, it will go back down to zero amd completely shut off. And the process repeats. No WiFi running when its on. Maybe send a text or two and within 30 minutes it is dead from the 30-ish% battery.

Im using the captivating Rom rc2, 4.2.2, and havent had any trouble until I flashed this kernel two days ago.

I always do clean flash.

I wiped and flashed hellybean back on it and the phone seemed to charge. But that is with devil kernel.

Any input would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Downloads are back :)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
I gave this phone (GT-I9000) to my father yesterday :( I won't be able to update this kernel anymore (or i have to wait until my father buys another phone :P )

Thanks to all who supported me :)

(My father gave me a Samsung Wave S8500 which have the same cpu as I9000 but it runs android using a modded bootloader since its original O.S. was Bada. I will develop something good for this one)
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Who can make a good boot logo for my kernel?

Thanks in advance :)
[Captivate Android Development] oswade:
hey man, thanks again for your kernel :).

Do you think you can increase LiveOC max to 125%? (or higher?). Or can I modify this value manually in system somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Why not? Wait next build ;)

[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
I can't change governor at the 1st startup on JB+ 1.0 kernel.

Guys, what is your recommended governor choice?
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Hey is this kernel working good on your phone I have not install it yet
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Not pretty good, lag at all. I flashed back to my devil kernel. Wait for next stable release

[Captivate Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
Job plus 1.0.1 working good now. Noticeable difference, very smooth no random reboots . thanks man:D:beer:
[Captivate Android Development] oswade:
, spoke a bit too soon. am getting some big lags on opening apps and loading keyboard. other things are mostly smooth.

EDIT: Testing without zram now...
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
I trully like your kernel. Take a look, CWM looks like a charm, so beautiful, alot of functions. OndemandX, InteractiveX, Sioplus, many others made me crazy, willing to try all your release ^^… but make it more perfect, we'll test it for you
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
New JBPlus & JB 1.0.2 Build released for all variants.

I hope this fixes all previous lag problems. I tested this new one on GamerzRom for I9000 and its sooooo smooth, no freezes, no lag. Boot time is amazing now thanks to 3.10 LZO Drivers :S

Enjoy!

If you have problems please report them in github issue reporting, link in first post.

[Captivate Android Development] mastershen23:
A little thing.. Like step OC? hahahaha, testing it now. Thanks for your hard work man
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
I just updated defconfigs in 1.0.2v2. In 1.0.2 only JBPlus for I9000 (not B) Defconfig was updated
[Captivate Android Development] mastershen23:
Oh, wait sorry, I missed the post where you said you were gonna remove the OC.

Again, will run some tests, and basic usage. So far it seems pretty snappy.

EDIT: Bro, after a few reboots im getting a "com.android.phone has stopped" and I'm pretty sure it is caused by 1.0.2v2 kernel. Will roll back to 1.0.2 and will keep you updated.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
PLEASE READ FIRST POST BEFORE FLASHING

JBPlus is for android 4.2.2/4.2.1

JB is for 4.1.2/4.1.1

You flashed JB Kernel in JBPlus rom
[Captivate Android Development] mastershen23:
Haha, you uploaded JB kernel to JBplus section. Check it out.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Hahahahaha, my fail. :silly: I'm really sorry for this. Upload will end in 10 minutes. Thanks a lot for the alert
[Captivate Android Development] mastershen23:
It's ok bro, we all make mistakes. Thanks again, sorry I didn't notice the name earlier haha.
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:

[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Wait for stable overclocking version
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Maybe i will never implement normal OC. It causes too much problems and GearTools have some difficulties in managing it.
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
You should ask mr Derteufel on HellyBean zone to know how to do that
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Well I been use your kernel for a mint it fast and slow at the same time and am using helly bean and PAC ROM with this kernel when u open a app it takes a min to open. start up is fast as hell and smooth but on some apps am getting the wait massage were it take a long time to open or close out
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Are you using 1.0.2v2?
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Yes am using that one another issue is when I went to hit replied it take a minute for the menu to come up I can send you a back up of my ROM if you want to see
[Captivate Android Development] Alberto96:
Are you using default settings?
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Yes I was at first because it was bad its still a lil bad even tho I change it I would like to ask every one what ROM there using for it to work right because I really think that the 2 ROMs that I was switching they are not compatible with your kernel now when I switch back to your first to kernels you did they work right yes your going to tell me to go back to them but I love the look of recovery it snapy
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
OK the weird part is I install the v1.00 and it runs smooth but on battery freeze up
[Captivate Android Development] casper846969:
Yea v1.00 sc also on helly bean works super fine on mine its fast tiny hick ups but not much its really smooth
[Captivate Android Development] ghoster76:
Yeah, all of Semaphore sub versions have same issue but I didn't see it in Devil kernel. After all testing I always revert to Devil kernel. Still best.
