Hey [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] !

Please don't take this the wrong way, as you've always been wonderfully responsive to my (and others...) requests, but am I going to need to ask you for an SEL enforcing build each time you release a new version? I would have thought that the comment from the one user (LOL... did you build without cleaning your source again... ?) might suggest that maybe you should just post builds for both enforcing and permissive. I mean really, you even already had the enforcing build posted (which I don't see att...)

I don't know all the considerations you take into account when posting releases and, without question, it's certainly your prerogative to do as you please. With that said though, would you mind making available the enforcing build since I was too late in pulling your original post?

Thanks in advance and my apologies if I sound angry. It's just a natural frustration that comes at realizing that what seems "common sense" to one person might not be shared by the rest of the world... ☺

You could but the "work around " for zmod is in the kernel , its a 2nd DSS frame buffer added , so fast booting the zimage would still produce the same results .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcpowell:
Wow! Your post made me want to be an asshole to you, but I'm going to refrain at the moment because it's not really my place and I'm trying not to get in trouble anymore for speaking my mind on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Well the reason I don't post enforcing builds , is because for the majority of users , it breaks many things , mainly Sim card availability , which most need since its still their everyday phone , not just an alarm clock like for you or I . I mean really its not that hard to compile a build , I do it for you because you ask , I didn't know I need to make it a regular thing just for you .

No hard feelings , but I would never ask someone to make a build just for me more than once . especially when it requires literally zero work to do myself .

So apologies for not remembering the one person who wants an enforcing build , I'll post one for you shortly .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wbedard:
Oh no, I certaintly don't feel that you "need" to... like I'm entitled to it or something.

I wish you would have said this earlier, as I never intended to "overstep my welcome", as it were. Point of fact, I can and do build the Android kernel (basically stock AOSP) for another project I support. The only reason I asked you for the build was that you already have the source code and your patches set up. As git is not my strong suit, by a long shot, duplicating the source tree and build process on my end would be a very significant effort (I'm nowhere near your skill level... ☺)

I know you're probably very busy, with a lot of things going on. Since it seems less than a week since my last request, I just thought that the slight "mis-step" with this latest release would remind you that you do have some users who would like the "alternate" build... my mistake.

I do appreciate you clarifying how you feel about providing custom builds to your users. Please accept my apologies. In the future, I'll look into how to build your kernel on my own.

Git's pretty easy. Even easier is my Android Image Kitchen. You can add enforcing to each release command line yourself and not have to ask every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wbedard:
Hey [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] ,

Thanks for the followup! To start off, I have tried on and off to work with git over the past 4 yrs...really I have. I don't know whether it's the way my brain is wired or just plain laziness on my part but it always drives me to want to flip tables over. Eventually, I had to resolve to swear it off. It's not required for my job and there are countless other projects I can involve myself with that don't drive me to that kind of rage. Compared with all the excellent developers who post here on XDA, I don't mind saying that I'm just a user and don't have anywhere near their skill-set.

Speaking of other projects, earlier in this thread (several posts from 12-15 Mar), I briefly engaged with [MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59398137&postcount=878) on how to use your excellent AIK to rebuild bsmitty's kernel so that I didn't need to bother him for a custom build. I worked pretty hard on this for a few days before giving up and asking bsmitty to build it for me. Sorry for not asking you for help personally but I estimated that it would be less work for bsmitty to rebuild a kernel than for you to tutor me in your tool. In hindsight, maybe that was wrong. As I mentioned in that earlier conversation in March, I welcome any advice to help me understand what I am doing wrong in using your tool.

Thanks again for your helpful suggestion! Let me know if you want to follow up on this topic over in your AIK thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I'm more than happy to make a custom build for you or anyone else. Believe me I try to accommodate anyone , I just think all this could have been avoided by you simply saying " hey , I still need an enforcing build " . I was so busy trying to fix the build that 99% of people use that I forgot that you still use the enforcing build .

So in the future , if I forget , simply remind me and I'll have a build for you asap .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wbedard:
Sorry for letting my emotions get the better of me in my recent request. Let me see if [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] can help me sort out my issues in using his tool so that I can prepare my own builds, as I originally intended. If not, I'll simply PM you any future requests to avoid further clogging up your thread.

Also is it safe for me to enable zram?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Zram should be OK to use , I've been using if a while , the worst that will happen is a random reboot . if you find this happening , just turn it off

F2FS looks even matured and promising in latest benchmarks (on kernel 4.0 )

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-40-ssd&num=2

AFAIR, EXT4 used to be way better in Read operations but this has changed

:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
Kernel 4.0, galaxy nexus does not even have 3.4 ready. It seems many people want to have f2fs. But i guess its the same like those people that want to have multiuser support on a 1 gigabyte (with only 750 free) device.

I truly believe ext4 is the way to go with current kernels. There is no need for something that does not offer any advantage on our aging device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajputrajat:
I do not believe that you are not aware of the fact that we already have F2FS for our phone (million thanks to bsmitty83) ;)

Here, I was just pointing it out about these recent changes to [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION]'s notice... which he might aware of already..

And apart from some ROM space loss, I think there are many benefits of using F2FS, that is why Motorola picked it for Moto G and Moto E...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
Of course i know that this happened,i am speking purely from those threads ,what is the benefit of using on gnex?Are there any specific benchmarks for our old device that point out that f2fs brings major advantage?I know that the developer btsmitty83 is awesome and gnex rom development would not be the same without people like him ,asop,and ziyan.However my question remains,is there any practical way to measure the advantages of f2fs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajputrajat:
- F2FS removes some execution overhead since this file-system is optimized for flash based storage devices

- this means better battery life and flash storage life

- according to various benchmarks write operations have always been better over EXT4, check the phoronix article in my previous post

There are other theoretical benefits as well which makes it even better choice for our ageing device.

you can find many articles on it, e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/518988/

I have not experience in flashing Kernels.

I'm currently on AOSP 5.1 Lollipop for my GNex with stock kernel.

Can I flash this kernel?

Will it delete my data?

What are the benefits of this kernel instead of the stock one?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davinaizer:
- Yes, it works in any of the Gnex 5.1 Roms (FML, CM, etc..)

- Yes, you can flash it using TWRP. Be sure to make a Nandroid Backup.!!!!! Just in case you have a unexpected problem.

- No, it wont delete your existing data. Be sure to Wipe Cache at least, although its not strict necessary.

- Yo'll have many others options available to control CPU and GPU: ZRAM, GPU Overclocking , more CPU and GPU Governors, etc.

Download Trickster MOD from Google Play to use all these goodies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
Hi

I read everyone has no problem with led torch but I kind still have. If I turn the torch on and switch off the screen, the torch switches off after 5-10 seconds. After that I need to reboot to get it back. By now I'm using Zyian's CM12.1 and lastest bsmitty83 kernel. I could reproduce this on every Zyian's builds with bsmitty83 kernel. Can anyone try to reproduce, please? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I have no problems with this question , so don't take it as that , but this is a ROM side problem . its nothing in-kernel or kernel related that I can fix .

That being said I understand a lot of people on that ROM use my kernel so its going to be seen so hopefully someone can answer you .

personally I haven't been able to run Zmod or ziyan's Cm builds ,as there is no toro build and I'm far too lazy to build it myself lol . so I can't say how any of it runs . I just build a bootable kernel and leave it up to the maguro owners to report their experiences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
I understand, yeah. I asked here because most of people in CM thread seem to be using the stock kernel and they have no problems, at least they said. And as the torch was fixed with camera drivers it could be related with kernel, I don't know.

What am I missing if I want to format /data and /cache to f2fs using Zyain's cm-12.1 and this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
A ramdisk that will mount those partitions as f2fs , specifically the fstab
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
Isn't just enough to update the fstab.tuna? I mean, if I add the mount settings to f2fs, it won't start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Should be OK , to do so you have to split the boot.IMG open and change the fstab mounts ,then add my zimage , so that's all I was saying by custom ramdisk . my kernel doesn't have a ramdisk so there's no fstab to modify , you'll have to use the Roms boot.IMG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
That's what I suppose I've done. Maybe I have some invalid mount options. Thanks

EDIT:

Does it looks bad like this? (took the lines from Nautilus repack from R5):

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rindmann:
Hallo guys :) ,

I just flashed CM 12.1 for my maguro, can I just flash this KErnel over it or are there any known issues or any more information you need ?

Thx in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
Just install, it should be ok. If you want to use f2fs, you should flash the zip two posts above ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rindmann:
I don't know what f2fs is :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
It's a file system aimed to flash drives that says its faster on those drives
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rindmann:
So is this file system faster than others ? And how can i get f2fs ? Thx for ur answers dude :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
You can see here some benchmarks [MENTION=4752917]Androguide.fr[/MENTION] did on an android device. tl;dr: f2fs seems to be faster but costs some additional space.

If you want to use it, and assuming you already have a rom installed:

Install a recovery compatible with f2fs: there are twrp 2.8.0 and 2.8.4 verions but I can't like to none of them by now (search in this forum)

Install a kernel and a initramfs compatible with f2fs

Format /data and /cache to f2fs with that recovery

Eventually, restore the /data partition from an previous ext4 backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rindmann:
Thx for your information man! Thats very kind!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Punkiderma:
So with that zip I can use f2fs even on rom without f2fs support, like Zmod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
That zip is the [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] kernel with the CM12.1 initramfs modified to mount f2fs partition, as file name suggests. In other words, I would answer you no: i don't know if the zmod rom will boot with cm12.1 initramfs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] papatsonis:
Hi [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] , :good: for the very fast kernel, but with both latest Zmod builds (31/3 and 21/4) with v14_ak2 i cant see any youtube video (keeps spining forever the circle) and the camera also cant capture video at all (freezes but i can minimize and kill it), do you have any idea/possible fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I believe its because ziyan has been updating the DSS files , so its probably because of that , I'll have to pull in his changes and get a new build out for you to test . I have a toro so there is no zmod to test for me . I'll try to get a fresh build out soon .

Anyone on LATEST Zmod ROM wanna test this for video and camera functions , here it is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] papatsonis:
Thanks for the swift build, i just tried, with no results, camera freezes on video again, and youtube circles 1-2 times, and displays a message of problem during playback :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
ok try this out , i missed one commit in the last build that may be the issue

you may also want to wipe you /cache in recovery as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
Hey bsmitty, could u please add whatever optimizations Ziyan did to the zmod kernel in order to reach 762mb of ram in the next full auto release and if u do thank you

Hello, I'm using ur kernel on ziyan's CM12. How can I enable swap partition?

When I installed Turbo Boost http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 phone started to randomly reboots.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Swap is enabled in the kernel , not sure about the issue your having , I've never used that mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qwake:
Sorry, is enabled. I installed that mod, shell free shows swap partition, but phone randomly reboots. Can u give me any tutorial how to create swap?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noeljunior:
I made it manually:

#!/system/xbin/bash

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# SWAP
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
SWAP_size="128"

# use swapfile
if [ "$SWAP_size" != "0" ]; then
if [ ! -e /data/media/swapfile ]; then
dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/media/swapfile bs=1048576 count=$SWAP_size
chmod 600 /data/media/swapfile
mkswap /data/media/swapfile
fi;
swapon /data/media/swapfile
fi;

Which is part of my init script. Just put this on /data/local/userinit.sh.

Or you can flash this flashable zip which will enable swap at boot. Change the SWAP_size var to the desired MB of swap. The file in zip has other values but they are commented so it will not use them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
It would be better if you could grab a last_kmsg and post it .

Once your phone randomly reboots ,

Through adb , "adb pull proc/last_kmsg"

Or through a file manager copy the file from proc/last_kmsg and I'll have a better understanding of what's going on .

Is there any way by which I can make the GPU freq. to get fixed at 384MHz ??

No drops to lower GPU freq. just 384MHz only..

I would like to do that in this kernel..

Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
LP is pushing Gnex to its limits, why would you lower the GPU freq?.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I think I would have to make a kernel specifically to do that , I don't think it can be achieved in user space . but the closest you could get would be to limit the max GPU freq to 384 MHz and use off/on GPU gov
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] varadparulekarofficial:
I think you misunderstood me.. I meant that the GPU freq. should always stick only to 384MHz and should NOT go lower than that..

I have seen such things in many Qualcomm based devices where the GPU freq is always stuck on the maximum..

LP is really pushing GNex to its limits, whenever the GPU freq. lands at 153MHz there comes some visual artifacts so making it stick to 384MHz would help solving those graphical slowdowns..

I tried it but still it doesn't stick to the 384 MHz permanently.. It would be really helpful if try to make a kernel WHENEVER you get free time.. No hurries...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alboz83:
Hi bsmitty, i was using your twrp 2.8.6.0 f2fs compatible and it works without problem, but now i restore stock 4.3 and i lost recovery. Where are your twrp f2fs compatible? In OP, post #2 there aren't anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
Its possible ,just download synapse, switch to activeidle GPU governor and set 384 as ur idle and 512 or 384 as ur active.(only Iapp i know which can change GPU tunables is synapse
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
i removed them because they had problems formatting to f2fs , which would have been the only difference between the "official" builds and mine . check the Gnex twrp thread , there is an unofficial 2.8.4.0 there i believe . And if your only using EXT4 , the official builds will work fine
