If you're locking up on boot, check your EXTRAVERSION in Makefile. If it's anything but blank, there's part of your problem. Version changes will cause modules to fail to load.

[Epic 4G Android Development] coldguy:
Well, I've got most of the ARM port of Ubuntu Maverick running inside a chroot on my phone - it'd sure be nice if I could use some sort of union filesystem to transparently merge that into the Android system.

Basically, I am doing the same thing Jay Freeman did, only with Ubuntu (first Google hit for debian android, XDA apparently doesn't think I'm cool enough to post any links yet)

He used UnionFS, which is a separate kernel patch, but there's funionfs which does the same thing via FUSE, and there's a lot of other cool stuff you can do with FUSE, and it's in-kernel so it would be way less effort than a patch, so I thought I'd request that instead :)

version 955 causes screen flickering for me, reverted back to 824, no issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Because GitHub is a beast that I really am fighting to learn. Hahahaha. All the guides I've found, especially for rebase, have assumed that I'm already a Git champion, which simply isn't the case (in fact, only been actively using it in the past few weeks). But I have fixed the problem with locking... kind of. It has that panic issue that you mention.

@nullghost has a lot of new treats since the .29.6 patch that we don't have. I've been working on getting them into the bfs kernel tonight, but got super side tracked... again (NBA Jam was the issue earlier... girl was the issue now. Ha). Really, Decad3nce makes a great point... we are doing this the hard way. But, like... my limited understanding of Git is holding me back.

Yeah, I caught that. I got it to compile and enter panic mode instead of the weird lock mode.

I really do not like the "voodoo" effect in this kernal

It seems like from 0-99% the screen is kinda blue, and then when it hits 100, it noticeably shifts to a more read hue. Am i the only one thats getting this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
sshfs is probably the best use. Allows you to interact with an sftp server (or really, any machine running an sshd) as if it were mounted file system on the phone. In other words, a great way to securely remote-mount a data repository without having to do much, if any, server-side configuration. Imagine wirelessly streaming movies from your Ubuntu box with existing video playback software.

Unfortunately to be useful someone will have to compile the FUSE userspace libraries and sshfs binary, as well as install dropbear. Those aren't huge hurdles if kernel support is there.

Battery life with this kernel and epic experience are waaaay better than before. So far with medium use I seen 6 hours and I still have 46% left. Awsome work, seems you have also done well at working out some of the many kinks with the brightness.

Epic 4g with Epic Experience 1.2.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Is it just me, or is battery life no different, seemingly? Granted, having just got the phone I'm still in that honeymoon phase. But from 530am-11am it dropped to 20% with little use (was at work, only occasional check. Gps on, 4g off)

I also am having brightness weirdness. The screen gets brighter right before turning off. And there's a slight grid-like texture when low brightness
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
Do I have to use SetCPU? Using OC Widget currently as I just got more used to it when I was running a kernel on my Hero that didnt work well with SetCPU. I have the paid version of SetCPU and it looks a little more complicated than when I used to use it. I also prefer the OC widgets widget as it shows what the current speeds are.

One problem that made me ask this question is that I haven't seen it actually overclock to 1.2 yet after two days of use. Running the newest version of MixUp with screen on range at 1ghz - 1.2, and screen off at 400 mhz - 600 mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
If you're running the latest version, you'll have to change the governor to conservative or ondemand. The interactive governor locks at 800mhz for some reason, and we're working on it.

If you can't change it with OC widget (which will work fine with this kernel btw) then just use SetCPU.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
Thanks. OC widget doesn't have any governer options. I'll just switch to SetCPU. Now that I look at it, doesn't seem like anything I can't handle.

Has anyone been hit with serious lag since flashing the newest kernel? Even at 1.2ghz I can barely even type on my epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I haven't seen anything like that, but I do hear occasional skipping in music, and I'm working on it. I think it may be because of the scheduler tweaks.

Also, quick poll for y'all:

I want to tweak some camera values. For one, I want to up the sharpness a notch? Opinions?

Second, saturation. This one is a maybe, I prefer a little higher saturation on it, but some may not, so depending on the opinions I may skip this one.

Third, I'm definitely upping the saturation on the front cam, it tends to make people look like washed out zombies right now. Good? bad?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I definitely support kicking the sharpness up a bit for the FFC anyway, it tends to look grainy and washed out for me . As far as back I would even say it could use some dulling, it makes greens and blues in my pictures ridiculously Sharp and muted reds and yellows
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Good ideas all of them, except saturation on back camera as this would probably cause problems with the flash I would suspect. Sharpness def needs a tweaking, as well as the saturation on the front camera. I've been watching this forum like a hawk lol, keep us updated!

seems everyone is all hoopla about this "voodoo"

i just compared two epics next to each other today cause i wanted to see the difference with and without, so i loaded up voodoo on mine and compared with one of my customers i had coming in today to show him around his own new epic, voodoo "creates" the blue effect, it was never there to begin with, also when comparing every other image and claim from the link provided, everything stated there and all the images are completely false (yes i know they are simulated)
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Voodoo doesn't create the blue tint, but it certainly makes it MUCH worse from 0-99%. I think they purposefully did this to show off just how much of a difference there "fix" makes.

That said, comparing two different epics to each other is not a valid test. I have compared dozens to mine, and they are literally all different. Some are yellowish, some are blue, some are grey tint, some are reddish and some are near pure white. It pretty ridiculous the variance that these screens have. I did notice that the voodoo kernel certainly makes my tint worse, or at least it seams that way, but I have not figured out a valid way to test this. The best way I could think of would be to set up a separate camera on a tripod or something and take photos with voodoo and without using the same brightness settings etc. I would be very interested to see what non-voodoo looks like compared to voodoo 99% brightness, because they SHOULD be EXACTLY the same. If they are not, then we know that the voodoo guys are pulling some shenanigans.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
im up to activating several of these a day, the tints aren't any different between any of the epics, the voodoo is a hoax, its "creating" a thought in ur head, once they say there is a tint, u believe u see one, then it forcibly creates one to further make u believe its made a difference, same applies to everything else it has claimed, anyway, gnite
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I was having a problem with my screen, and went around to several sprint stores and lined up my epic next to all of theirs with absolutely the same settings running the same stock rom and same stock kernel, and there is ABSOLUTELY a difference between screens. Its not something that can even be debated. Mine has a RIDICULOUS blue tint when the screen is tilted, which NONE of the other epics had to even remotely the same extent as me. Mine was also in the white category, and there were screens that were warmer and colder than mine.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Wow guys seriously!? Let me tell you something.. we are NOT making the blue tint worse. The reason you don't notice it normally is because it looks like that on every brightness level. When you actually calibrate the color properly at 100% brightness, you see how it should look, and once you go back to the blue its much more noticeable. It's ridiculous to think we would make the blue worse just to make 100% look better. What could we possibly gain!?! It's not "creating" any thought in your head, you just notice the blue more once you see how it should be.

Don't believe me? Hold your phone up to any PROPERLY CALIBRATED monitor with a pure white screen on both. The blue is clear as hell.

I don't mean to come across as an asshole here, but it really irks me that people would criticize dev's work without any knowledge of the issue at all. The only person close to base here is the one that described the variance between screens. Thats natural, and happens on all screens. Same way not all chips OC the same way on any electronic device. If you are still bat**** stupid enough to think that I'm "making the blue tint worse" to "show off our 'fix'" or create a hoax, then don't use it. The old novoodoo version is still up, and there are plenty of kernels without it. Or you could look at the source difference between a stock screen driver and the modified one in my github and see that the only values tweaked are the sharpness lines and the color values for 100% brightness. The files are "drivers/video/samsung/s3cfb_mdnie.c" and "drivers/video/samsung/s3cfb_tl2796.c"

[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
I think tha Boss ROM is slightly faster than Noobnl's ROM running stock. But I don't like the Home screen issue with tha Boss ROM, I like the idea of not having TouchWiz though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] specialk0324:
Agreed on the touchwiz and noobs rom on stock. the home screen, i'll admit, took me a minute to get used to (litterally that) but now im ok with it.

So you think that noobs with this kernel will be better than tha boss and prior stated kernel? what the hell, ive been back and forth all day on roms...i might just do it again to refresh my memory ;-) also waiting for aosp demo v.2 just to fool around. I swear, the best part to me about getting a new phone is right when the floodgates open with choices and pairings of roms and kernels. wish i could actually make my own..so clueless as what to even use program wise tho...

[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Lmao, I just get on and see there was an update. #1!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I don't think this kernel has root included like Fluff does, so you would need to run the one-click root script also. You need root for set-cpu to work right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
This does have root included. It actually forces adbd to run as root as well, so now "adb shell" drops you straight into # instead of $.

If you have CW working in Fluff, then just flash this thru CW and you'll be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
I would think if it's overclocked it would need root permission, but IDK, maybe I didn't read everything through.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Ok, I'm sorry for the mis-info. I was running version 630 before this and it didn't seem to have root. Set-cpu and some other root apps were not working with it.

Edit: Just flashed the new version with CWM, and still don't have root. Set-Cpu is not getting root permission, and Root Explorer is now force closing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Wow this kernel seems really quick...snappier....
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:

[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
Excuse me if I passed this up but what is the best setting under SetCpu that you know of for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm I can't really explain that bro. I included SU in the ramdisk and it works for me and everyone else apparently. What ROM are you running? Go to a shell on your PC and run "adb shell" tell me if it opens to # or $

I run 100 min 1200 max with the OnDemand govornor and set on boot. Set on boot doesn't seem to cause any issues now, so its probably safe to check it. Changing to the conservative governor would get better battery, but I prefer the speed of ondemand or performance.

[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
This post inspired me to go and check for myself for real. I set up a camera and took photos of the screens at 99% brightness and 100% brightness using this kernel with voodoo and then flashed to stock kernel and did the same. I fully retract my previous assertions that voodoo makes the blue tint worse. The color is almost identical between the 99% brightness on the voodoo kernel and the 100% brightness on the non-voodoo kernel. It just seems to look so much worse on the voodoo kernel because going from the 100% voodoo adjusted to 99% brightness makes the screen go from brilliant to blueish grey.

Keep up the good work on voodoo and sorry for my misinformed previous post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
This, it really is that simple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
with voodoo it also looks horrible at the 100% brightness level, just saying, are u now going to tell me im also not entitled to my opinion? just wondering

aside from the voodoo aspect, the kernel is absolutely wonderful, Ive found not one bug to speak of in my everyday use, battery life is just as great as before if not better, shows a decrease in system use on standby, the performance boost is mildly noticeable in applicable use, and quite noticeable in synthetic benchmarks
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Geniusdog,

Any chance of combining the OC capabilities from baked snacks kernel (up to 1.3ghz) which is now publicly released, with your currently excellent kernel? I am sticking with yours no matter what but I'd love to really have a speed demon on my hands
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Nope, cuz we're both entitled to our own, as its everyone else who likes or dislikes Voodoo. I just have a problem with people claiming I embellish an issue to make myself look better.

Also, as to 1.3ghz, maybe. Not sure. Where is the source?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I can't seem to find the source code, just the finished product which was recently posted on here (under baked snack 1. 3 kernel if I recall correctly)

hey all new to this with the epic ave had it for a coupe weeks . and slowly making changes here and there. coming from the moment things are a little different. got a few questions for you guys.

ok so ive rooted and installed clockworks recovery . took a little but i got them work .

im currently running the stock rom of which ive removed a few apps using the sdx removal tool.

heres where i get confused . do i just apply this to the root of the sd card and go in to recovery and run zip or push it with adb.

also already have setcpu ,busybox, superuser . will i lose them or will they be over written by this kernel.

i know this is probably the easiest part of the whole thing . just dont wanna brick my phone after getting this far.:eek:

thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Just put it on the root of your SD card and install via recovery. This is just a kernel, so you aren't going to lose anything. However, if you are on stock and are using the Jokeyrim method of root, it is known that when you flash a rooted kernel with all of the Jokeyrim root files still there, you will lost root. You'll probably want to flash a new ROM, too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
thanks . so i need to flash the rom then the kernel . to keep root.or vise versa.

in what order is best. as of not my phone only holds what i use. if i lose any of that with the rom can i re-apply those apps.

Any plans to OC above 1.2?

Geniusdog,

Any plans in the near future to take this to 1.3 or 1.4 ghz? I'm coming from a Palm Pre that I routinely oc'ed to 1.0 ghz on a cpu that was half as fast as the Hummingbird. Worked great, but I did have to cool my phone whenever it was on a Touchstone. By the way, this community is easily as helpful as the WebOs community was. I am definitely enjoying my Android experience. Thanks for all your hard work. :cool:

I just put this kernel on my epic with the stock shell.

Before running this kernel, I got a Quadrant score of 908

After putting the kernel on, I am getting scores of around 812. The application shows my current clock @ 800mhz, with a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 1200.

Shouldn't the clock go up when I'm running an intensive application like Quadrant and cause my score to go up?

I haven't purchased SetCPU yet or done anything intensive with the phone besides root/clockwork.
