Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! I'm glad I could help y'all! I'm working with @Decad3nce to get a BFS version as well, although there is no ETA on it.

Also in the pipeline is seeing how low I can crank the voltage and still be stable on most/all devices.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
So those of you who have this kernel with the andromeda rom - any problems so far?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Question - whats the way to apply this kernel patch?

Im already rooted, but the update.zip wont run without being signed...

So do I need to flash the clockwork recovery before I apply this or is there some other way that Im missing?

Thanks :D Looking forward to really trying this out...

(****s a lot different than my palm pre :P)
[Epic 4G Android Development] casual864:
You have to have custom recovery first which is clockwork recovery. Then you can flash this kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Done and done. I got SetCPU running a 100-1.2ghz speed scaling ondemand, and not set on boot.

Question. Should I be setting it on boot or no? And I believe, obviously, that because it was able to set those speeds, I got the kernel installed correctly...but where can I check?

Anything else I should do at this point? Tests? Checks? Etc? Like I said, I appologize if Im a bit n00bish when it comes to android, webOS has been my home for over a year and change...hahaa...and its very easy to get patches and whatnot installed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] aim1126:
For some reason. Everytime I try to use one of your kernels I lose root completely :-\
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Still running smooth and fast with this kernel. Any chance you are going to update it with Koush's Rom Manager support files? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] professorpoptart:
getting 9.74 mflops! great job.

I also set it to onboot... because I live dangerously.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
It's been very stable for me so far.

Its good for me on Andromeda and tha boss rom. Currently running tha boss and this kernel and omfg. ....consistent and I do mean CONSISTENT 9.827...matter of fact, lowest I've gotten has been 9.283
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I will be updating tonight with the clockwork files. I have an interview to do with an XDA writer and some classwork to do, but I will get this integrated sometime tonight and push an update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:

Can't flash latest mixup-20100921-655 kernel

]Having issues flashing the latest 655 kernel. I think the upload might be corrupt?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I just tried to flash this and it's corrupt. I downloaded it twice with Chrome, and once with IE. Can you re-upload it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Alright looks like a bad upload. I'll re-up. I'll post again when its up.

Sorry folks! This **** happens when a 3G data card is your main connection :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] beavis4ever:
I decided to turn the wifi sleep policy back to never and and flash the nonVoodoo kernel instead. I used setcpu to over clock it, and my battery life was back to normal. Maybe there is something in the Voodoo kernel that caused all the battery drain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shaundizzle:
just so you guys know, manually changing the brightness is actually very simple.

all you need to do is slightly pulldown the task/status bar and then wipe your finger to the right for high brightness or left for low brightness.

this is so easy that i prefer it so i can keep it low as necessary to save battery and raise it if necessary when outside etc.

but i would enjoy a fix of the brightness cuz i just think its annoying to see the brightness jump up as im locking the screen.

thanks for your work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shaundizzle:
look at bakedshack.com

i think thats the website. if its not just try typing that into google and you should be able to find his website and then go to downloads>epic 4g> and then download the latest rom which im pretty sure is still 1.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Negative. I'm on the nonVoodoo and I can report awful (well, relative... the stock life is much, much worse than what I'm getting even now) battery life. I went six hours idling and lost 32% battery where, before the last update, that would have seen, at most, a 7-10% drop. Then when I started using the phone, it dropped before my eyes.

It's a shame, too. I love, love, love this kernel so far. Genius is a great dev and I have faith that this will be figured out shortly. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'll see what I can do, I have no idea what could be causing it really. Well, I kinda do but its a long technical explanation but I'm not gunna get into it unless directly asked ;) lol

Devin, did you send me a PM about helping you set up your ramdisk? I seem to remember someone sending me a PM about that and thought it might be you. If so hit me up on GTalk (geniusdog254@gmail.com) and I'll try and help you out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I've noticed it's not sleeping after flashing this kernel, both the VooDoo and non-VooDoo versions. When I flash back to Andromeda, the sleep behavior is normal again.

Do we need to clear cache and dalvik before flashing this, or is that taken care of in the update script?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Flip it in airplane mode for a second and then right back out....should get that number down....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffyv2:
i dont know if this has been said but now when im on a call and i use my headphones it wont lock and turn the screen off
[Epic 4G Android Development] Forcystos:
After my initial report everything has been perfect. I disabled auto-sync and voila, I got about 14 hours with moderate usage: some browsing, eBuddy (without delayed messages), and Tapatalk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Mine was sitting at 41% as well. A lot higher than it normally is. Ive been noticing my phone going roaming a lot more recently in the same areas Ive always had it in, but I cant tell if thats from the new Mixup kernel or the DI18 update. Either way, Im sure its killing my j00se...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
I've also been seeing this.. it doesn't szeem to effect my battery much, but I've got an airave at home and decent signal at work. Should be getting near 100% time with signal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dantichrist:
I haven't seen this posted by anyone else. But I'm having an issue with video when I use either the voodoo or non voodoo kernels. It hangs on the video decode part of the Quadrant CPU test.

I did a fresh flash of andromeda 1.1.1a before I installed it. I don't have the issue running the andromeda 1.4.0 kernel.

Any ideas about what could be causing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I have heard of this issue before.. it seems like its the typical instability of an overclock on some devices. Try setting it to 1Ghz max in SetCPU and see if that fixes it.

I think theres a voltage issue. I'll work on it tonight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Incredible kernel! This is the 1st overclock kernel I've flashed, but this thing is sweet. I'm averaging 9.6 on Linpack and 1010 on Quadrant. I'm currently running this kernel with stock ROM. Thanks for the great work!:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Operation Panda Overlord is coming

No ETA yet, so don't ask. But it IS being worked on
[Epic 4G Android Development] dantichrist:
Thank you for your reply!

I messed with things for a few hours last night. I moved to a bone stock + odex build and it runs fine. Restoring data caused the issue to occur again. After restoring each app individually it was fine.

With this setup this thing is running like a champ and there are no issues at all with wifi, battery drain, or anything else that I've seen in this thread.

I thought this info might be useful to you :-)

Thank you for the hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] haas599:
Try turning airplane mode on/off and see if that helps

I have no idea what OPO is but I like the sound of it! Thanks for the kernel!
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I always knew those Pandas were up to somethin' ;)

Hope it's got AMAZING battery life whatever it is
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
For those of you wondering about our upcoming Panda Overlords, please see my GitHub to see all the goodies going into the kernel. I commit them as I make them, so you can see it as it happens.

Are there still problems with Bluetooth?

Looking through the prior posts I see that there were problems with Bluetooth not working. I don't see that these problems have been fixed. The reason I ask is because I've installed this Kernel and my bluetooth doesn't work any more :-)

Two other things for Geniusdog254... #1, thanks for all your work on this and #2, I love your Avatar, what a gorgeous dog!

Thanks,

Scott
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
#2: Thanks! I found that pic online, and loved it cuz it looked exactly like my purebred pet beagle Tank. Haha

Also, the bluetooth issues are only present if you're running the DI18 kernel on DI07 or the DI07 kernel on DI18. I recommend you update to a DI18 ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BopChie:
looooving this kernel, been running since release.

One thing that i have noticed and am not sure if its the overclock/undervolt/rom combination(andermeda)......but when i'm set to 100/1200 conservative and try recording a vid my phone hard locks and need to pull batt...if i'm set to 200/1200 conservative its fine i havent troubleshooted to far or tried ondemand or certain speeds yet but will soon. Just thought i'd throw that out there.

thanks again for your work!!

p.s: i've had it happen on DI07mixup also
[Epic 4G Android Development] scott47:
You are exactly right. Somehow I downloaded the mixup-20100926-311-voodoo file and was using it with the stock DI18 rom.

I loaded the mixup-20101005-1119-voodoo kernel and then re-loaded my rom from a backup and now everything seems to work perfectly.

Thanks!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lattisimo:
regarding MixUp-20101005-1119

i flashed the voodo flavor and after boot checked the cpu freq range and it was 100 to 1200 and scaling range was 100 to 1200. it is not set to 1000 as posted.

also notices that this flavor disabled brightness adjustments at 5% not 1% as posted.

before posting my find i wanted to check on the non-voodo.

the freg rannge is 100 to 1200 and the scaling range is 100 to 1000. perfect! just as described by OP

i have not been able to do brightness testing since i switched batteries. will report back after i get the battery bellow 5%

ps. my epic was stock with clockwork recovery before flashing this kernel. i do not use setcpu. i used osmonitor to view the cpu settings mentioned above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shinma6980:
Mine used to always be high also, since flashing a Verizon PRL, I'm steadily sitting at 22% or less TWS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcorn619:
Thanks for the great work Geniusdog254, will we be seeing incorporation of the wired tether fix in your next kernels by any chance???
[Epic 4G Android Development] gophergun:
Should be, the RNDIS support is already in his github.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Since it seems some cpus don't like/can't handle 1200 what are the odds of a version with 1100 as the default?
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Installed hero backed snack 1.3g rom and get quadrant scores of 1018 and with genius kernal on any rom I get quadrant scores of 1050. Also battery life same. Hero baked snack rom is stable and very good though. Would like genius kernal on his rom!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Oh ya. I have no issues with blue wifi or anything on genius kernal. Must do clean install if having issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Genius kernal with backed smack rom quadrant scores 999 first three times then 1019 next two. Going to go back to backed snack kernal to test battery.

So far fastest on genius and stock di18 rom. But I like blue min theme top much to go back. Btw would love a black version of blue min anyone know of one
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheRob44:
...

I tried out baked snack 1.3 today and found that a bunch of things kept crashing so I went back to the beloved MixUp kernel underneath the baked snack ROM. One thing, though...apparently, the ability to do MobileAP (whatever the "framework" is) was removed in baked snack...I'd like it back. When I try to run the MobileAP configurator, com.sec.android.app.mobilap crashes, maybe because it's not present. Can anyone suggest how to get this functionality back on board? Awesome kernel, as usual.

Thanks!

-Rob

P.S. Quadrant with this combo is about 1030...sweeeeet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
hi, if you compare this baked rom/and this kernel combo, is it faster/better then other rom you tested? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheRob44:
The baked snack kernel seemed pretty good for the most part, but it kept crashing touchwiz, contacts, and other applications, so that kind of killed it for me. I got 1040 on quadrant with baked snack, but the stability of MixUp makes it worthwhile.

-Rob
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
so, if you compare this baked rom/and this kernel combo, is it faster/better then other rom you tested? thanks

But ya, that'd look awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] six_and_out:
awesome

this is my first kernel and im using it on my epic4g(galaxyS) with the clockwork mod and it is wonderful so far. of course im so excited about i wanted to post right away. so easy to install, and with out a hitch too. just flashed it and its up. had to install setCPU but its now running at 1200mhz. benchmark is about 80ms lower than at stock 1ghz. but i was wondering. how do i lower the voltage, because this phone is a powerhog... i could only get it to last about 5-6hours on a normal day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] etherealglimpse:
Using this with epic experience. Working great. Thanks.

I'll let it run and see how the battery goes. Will report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcorn619:

[Epic 4G Android Development] crcsboy:
Installed kernal yesterday on rooted stock rom epic. Running awesome with no problems, my battery life is awesome. Thanks for the kernal!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Reporting in after a few good days of use...Keep in mind, I did an update to DI18 as well, so if these are reported issues with DI18, then thats that. If not, its due to the kernel...Using stock rom but have clockwork recovery, and mixup installed.

1 - Phone tends to be 'roaming' a lot more often than it used to...didnt have this issue with the last one.

2 - Phone has dropped 3g a few times in the middle of using it.

3 - Phone has also gone through some weird freezing loops, where applications wont run, and all of a sudden things get hung up. Nothing super major that a battery pull/reboot wont fix, but its starting to kinda worry me.

Battery life is great though, going an entire day without a charge is pretty nice, with light 3g use, moderate to heavy texting, and light to moderate phone calls.

Had phone on roaming, no bars this morning when I woke up - straight off of the charger. Then deaded out and no signal through. Had to airplane mode it on and off just to get a signal. Then it hopped between roaming and not for a few minutes before finally staying stable.

Im looking forward to any and all adjustments if these things are related to the kernel (though I cant see why any of these would be related to the DI18 update, but I could be wrong).

Thanks genius.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
!1

1. Not sure about this one. Could be on my end kinda, from low voltages. I'm tweaking them for next release. Seen reports of it just being DI18 though. Could be both.

2. I've seen that as well, not really sure whats causing it. Could be same as above, or just the phone, since I've seen it a little since day one.

3. I've never been able to repeat that but have seen maybe a half-dozen reports. Most reported that it was fixed by a data wipe, but if that isn't an option or doesn't work for you try it set to 1Ghz in SetCPU and if it works there you may have a bad chip for OCing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm guys I think I'll have to pull RNDIS support for the next build, unless I can figure this out before release. For some reason it always kicks into RNDIS mode no matter what, so I can't access ADB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Thanks for replying and taking a look at everything. 1 and 2 werent a problem til I did the DI18 wipe plus the install of your updated di18 kernel, sooo either or could be the problem. I never had a 3g drop out issue on the DG07 and your old kernels before, so I assume it has something to do with the new stuff.

As for #3, the phone has been fine on the older kernels OC'd to 1.2ghz, so I dont know. I never had a freeze issue or anything like this until the DI18 and the new kernel. I wonder...but Im no coder, so I cant really help :P All I can do is report... I went fresh off of a data wipe and its only happened a few times, but ONLY since Ive been on DI18. If that helps at all. I never spent any time on DI18 stock kernel, I basically went from DG07 to DI18, and then went clockwork and your kernel before anything else happened...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unknown Zone:
for me:

#1 I can really say since I have the epic set to "sprint only" mode

#2 have not came across that yet

#3 have come across those issues when I have setcpu lowest point past 400mhz, 100/200 would cause those problems...100 would cause it more.

I also have just swapped out kernels leaving stock rom DI18
[Epic 4G Android Development] evancg:
Has anyone experienced any problems with the latest non-voodoo version of MixUp and SD cards? This is the first custom kernel I've used and installation is fine and it works but within a couple hours of the initial install, it reported my SD card was corrupt and needed to reformat (mounted through windows it read fine). Backed up the info, formatted on the phone, then was up and running just fine another four to five hours, my phone froze up and upon rebooting, couldn't read the SD card again. No other significant changes have been made in the past few days and this all started after installing MixUp...
[Epic 4G Android Development] etherealglimpse:
I been having #3 issue too. So this kernel w/voodoo comes overclocked by default to 1.2? I thought that was optional. I guess I'll setcpu to 1.0ghz and call it a day.

For me it was a weird like 4 hours during the day that the phone bootlooped 4 times and kept freezing. I stopped using it and went back to it 2 hours later, deleted the cache for google maps and took otu the battery and put it back in. rebooted the phone twice and its working again. I have no idea. after getting di18 the phones gotten wonky when it comes to signals and such. I think its transforming into the iphone and it won't make calls soon either. :(

Hopefully your fix will help. I will try setcpu in the meantime. thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcorn619:
What's up with my phone?

I think there's something wrong with my phone, spare parts reports that the voltage is ~3660mV, did I miss a step somewhere? Rooted, superuser working, Epic Exp. 1.1.10, deleted drm files that improved battery just today but before that battery was running out very fast

Headphone and screen

I'm having an issue with this kernel, When wired headphones are plugged in the screen will not turn off when talking. At first i thought it was the my Rom, but when i switched to fluff kernel the issue stopped.

Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
That's the battery voltage (how charged it is) ;)

Not just yet, I'm still working out some issues (mainly the damn brightness sensor) but soon hopefully.

See, the brightness sensor is REALLY weird. I've always thought Samsung's code was ****, but this just goes to prove how finnicky it is. See, somehow in their stock light sensor code, everything works fine despite the fact that the sensor is giving wrong values half the time. The second you tweak the light sensor code, it stays dim in most lighting conditions.

Wanna test that? Dial *#0*# and hit "Sensor". At the bottom of the page, there is a textview that has a changing value for the current brightness. Its on a scale of 0-2500 I think. With the energy saver bulbs, it works fine (why I never saw the issue, that's all we use here) but on some bulbs (halogens I know for sure, normal incandescent too i believe) it doesn't register the light hardly at all. Hold it next to an energy saver bulb or a florescent, you'll see it jump to 1800+ probably, now hold it near a normal incandescent bulb, it'll stay around 800 tops, probably closer to 500. The second you move away from right next to the light it drops to near nothing, which is why it stays dim. Now outside or with certain lights, it works just dandy, but otherwise its TERRIBLE. I'm working on it.

Also, I've gotten some requests for RNDIS, and I am working on it. I have a patch, but whenever I apply it, it breaks ADB. That's kinda important, so it's out until I can fix that ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Sorry about that, is this on Windows? I only tested RNDIS on a Linux machine, which was able to deal with multiple drivers sharing the same USB device with no problem. I can tether and use adb simultaneously. Perhaps the Windows drivers don't cope as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I actually only tested on Ubuntu 10.10. I hadn't even tried Windows. It would connect to RNDIS by default and just not run adb at all. Are you on 32bit or 64bit?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
64-bit Debian sid, kernel 2.6.32-5.

Attached is the output of "lsusb -v" when I connect my phone in debugging mode with the RNDIS patch. It shows there are 6 USB interface descriptors for the phone. They are:

0. CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)

1. CDC ACM Data

2. Android UMS

3. S3C6410 Android ADB

4. RNDIS Communications Control

5. RNDIS Ethernet Data

All I've ever done to get adb working was to add a udev rule to /udev/rules.d/92-permissions-adb.rules:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="681c", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"

and made my user a member of group "plugdev". This sets the permissions on the USB device so that adb will connect to it without being root, and it's been unaffected by RNDIS.

As for RNDIS, udev finds the device and loads the appropriate modules. If that doesn't happen for some reason, doing a "modprobe rndis_wlan" should work. The RNDIS device shows up as usb0. I don't use NetworkManager. Instead I just added "iface usb0 inet dhcp" to the end of "/etc/network/interfaces" and I can control the connection by doing "ifup usb0" or "ifdown usb0".

How far are you able to get with that?
