Actually, init.rc is in the kernel, and although I haven't added it yet because no interest was expressed, I can add a script that would run any script placed in a certain directory at boot so that it could be done without ROM or kernel changes.

And it's nice to see someone standing up for me since this kernel ended up a dud xD

This one won't see another update until FroYo. I've been crazy busy with family, friends, and school IRL, and I don't have time to be flashing my phone between FroYo & Eclair daily to test things. Once we get FroYo officially & the kernel source, then I will start updating again providing life will let me. It's not that I don't love you guys, I still do, like I said I'm just busy :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
I like your Kernel Geniusdog :) looking forword to see what your guna make with the Froyo source:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Sick man, that would be sweet if you could incorporate that into your kernals, even for your froyo kernals. darktremors apps2sd is wayyy better than native froyos. Nice work man! i know you and hero dont get along but you guys both have the best kernels!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
I don't blame you one bit! there is no point in working on something that you aren't running since this is all a hobby. No reason to get all stress out and burnt out. just relax and wait for final 2.2 :D

[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Im not asking him to get stressed or burnt out, if i had linux and knowledge of how to use it i would do it myself. To my knowledge its a pretty simple process and doing it wouldnt take much time at all. This is a hobby but alot of hte times the developers rely on criticism.. which i wasnt even doing. The kernal is awesome, just trying to get some apps2sd on something other than BS 1.6. If you can help cool, if not cool. you're right froyo is right around the corner, and im gonna try to get the devs put darktremors version on apps2sd on the .32 kernel as well cause native ap2sd sucks donkey ****.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
I was going to compile in a2sd with this kernel, till I tried it (the vrsion available here) and it didn't work on my phone. I might do it with xtreme temporarily, I think I found the kernel base address needed to do it, so should be good to go.

Also tempted to try out compcache, just out of curiosity
[Epic 4G Android Development] flopez76:
So how is the kernel coming, anything new brewing up? Been with this kernel since it was first released and so far no regrets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steven7590:
I am definitely getting better battery and running at 1.3 GHz is working like a charm. If you set to 1.6 GHz though, the phone bogs down. It's definitely noticeable in the haptic feedback being really long and diminished.

But also, if you're interested, I got a quadrant score at 1.6 GHz of 1213 and got to 78 fps in the graphics test.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Geniusdog I hope you are ready for some Froyo action when (teetering on if with the damn wait) this OTA drops. I miss your kernels :-(

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
hi, i've been running this kernel with EE, and it's an awesome setup for me! i was wondering, there seem to be only 2 versions still available for download? the taco madness version(which doesn't seem to ever work for me, lol, just freezes the phone), and the 100510 version. have the other ones been pulled? is this due to bugs? is the 1005 one the best one? thx in advance for any replies.

Unfortunately, when I go to install the zip, I get an error in cwm3 saying that the package was not coded in edify script. Should I just toggle the script asserts, and flash anyway, or would this cause a bootloop or hang at the splash screen?

THERE IS NO CUSTOM KERNEL FOR DK28.

THERE IS NO SOURCE

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ryoma Echizen:
Ok, thanks. So without the source code, a custom kernel can not be created. Basically, until samsung releases the official source, we can't make D28 custom kernels? I hope the source is released soon...

Sorry, I'm a newb to the epic, since I came from the hero, and the modem basically never changed after the 2.1 update :) So please forgive any newb comments, I'm usually more helpful than this. I'm a little out of it, I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Correct.....when and if it is released it will not be DK28...but whatever it is all will be using that source....

Thanks again for all the positive feedback guys! I just got home from a funeral and I have schoolwork that comes first, but if I finish all that then I will get an update out tonight. If I don't have time tonight it will be tomorrow.

On the table is undervolting and adding the BFQ scheduler. Soon after that I'll integrate the ProjectVooDoo lagfix, if not in the same revision.

Also, I've had 2 people ask me about a donation link. In my signature, I put one up for PayPal, as well as my apps on the Market that have always been there. I don't ask for any, but if you're a generous person I would really appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
This is a pretty noob question, but don't fault me. Can I install this kernel if I have noobs andromeda rom installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:

I was wondering how many hours of battery life you guys are getting with this kernel? So far, its been 6-7 hours with 3G...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I get the same battery life as I got with stock. Today it's been 10 hours and I'm at ~30% which is better than usual. Most days I get ~8-9 hours until low battery warning. Stock I would always get about the same, maybe 30 minutes or an hour more, but that difference could easily be attributed to apps running or signal issues or the cycles of the Sun & Moon :p

As far as battery life goes I'm using Tha Boss Rom V.01 and MixUp and I have have been unplugged for 9 hrs now and I'm at 50% battery and that is using it moderately. Which is really good because stock my phone would be low battery by now..school kills my battery with 3g jumping all other the place.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Guys sorry but I don't think I'll be able to push an update tonight. I was at a funeral this afternoon and I have schoolwork that takes a priority to this, so I'm kinda swamped tonight.

Set CPU does not work for me. I set min to 200, but it still drops to 100. Also when I reboot the phone, set CPU loses it's settings and I have to go through setup again. It defaults back to 500 mhz
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
It's a SetCPU bug I think. You just have to do a re-detect as I described in the OP. As for the 200 dropping to 100mhz I noticed the same thing. I don't really have an explanation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Kernels come with 5,7 or 9 slots you dont just get to move the slider in setcpu to whatever you want. So far the kernels for the Epic that i have seen are 5 slots which means you CAN ONLY CHOOSE FROM 5 PRE SET SELECTIONS. Also from my experience with this cpu you should not set it below 400 mhz it will not wake from screen off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dondadah88:
Can you undervolt the cpu any more? I mean i know the snapdragon is completely different but the has that on 825 i believe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Actually 825 is unstable for most, and is for the minimum speed, not max. The voltage when OC'd to 1.267Ghz on Snapdragons is @ 1.2V as best I remember. Still lower, but hardly so.

I'll see how low I can safely push it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
Well I don't think that the 400 mhz is the lowest as I have mine set to 200 mhz and have no issues with waking the screen up whatsoever....but each phone has a mind of its own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
I have actually run my EVO at 775 with no real issues but my EVO seems to LOVE UV. One thing to note is that UV'ing does NOT save as much battery as you would think. I ran our SNAP kernel at 800 vs. our SNAP kernel 925 (for EVO) and the difference was about 30 minutes. Things like bad 3G reception suck up the battery fastest... ALL of that said, I'd love to try my EPIC, with a more aggressive UV kernel just to compare.

I respectfully disagree, I too am running 200 screen off (setCPU profile), with zero issues.... I do have wake issues at 100.... where the EPIC lags for ~30 seconds.

Geniusdog254: good work on this kernel... I am consistently getting 9.5 - 9.75 MFLOPS and it feels smother than before. As per the open GPL do you have a link to github (or wherever... no one says github has to be used) with your modifications?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
@spicytuna I do have a github but no repo for the epic kernel. Its hard to upload 300 mb of source on a 3G data card ;-)

Upon request though I will zip up my ramdisk & the files I've modified to provide to you
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Github compresses a ridiculous amount of it.

I already have an epic-kernel source tree set up on my github. Fork it freely. It's been heavily patched thus far. http://github.com/Decad3nce/epic-kernel

But you can reset the head to when it was the initial import from samsung, then you can just push your changes. Which will save you all the space.

Enjoy.

EDIT: The reason I have this set up is so I can simply create a BFS patch in one single squashed commit :D, which then in turn is a simple .patch file for .318 BFS on .29.6
[Epic 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
Geniusdog254 - there is an issue with some of the governors (i.e. On Demand) that allows setCPU to bypass it's settings and go to the lowest freq, which in the case of your kernel is 100.

That'd be awesome I'd like to take a look at the governor settings and tweak them....and I'll send them back to you for consideration of inclusion.

Ru sure its working? I've read/experienced that root explorer doesn't play nice with the epic. For example, if you delete an app in /system/app, it will re-appear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Exactly. Its like that on all Samsung phones. Root Explorer doesn't know how to remount RFS filesystems. Not the fault of the kernel. Ever. Not my kernels fault. Not anyones kernels fault.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
Did you get my email regarding the source? Thanks.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Actually, yes. Haven't had a chance to zip it up yet. I'm changing stuff so often the second I send it it'll be obsolete. I'll get it to you by the end of the weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
so instead of using root explorer, im guessing adb. any other alternative that works that you know of?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I do use ADB, but Root Explorer *should* work if you just remount /system manually. Either using the "remount rw" if your ROM supports it, or manually with the "mount" command
[Epic 4G Android Development] chemicool:
Well I downloaded the 7.30 zip and tried to flash it but it aborted itself.

E: Can't mount TMP:/kernel_update

E: Failure at line 3:

copy_dir PACKAGE:kernel_update TMP:/kernel_update

Did I do it wrong or download the wrong one?

Also, I can revert back to the old kernel if need be right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yes you can just revert back, reflash your ROM and it'll go back. It sounds like a clockwork issue, reboot back into recovery & try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:

Genius, can we get apps2sd now? Or does it need to be ported first? Cause I can PM the creator and get him to work on it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
A2SD can be supported as is now that I added EXT4 support. All it is is a script that runs on startup to copy them to the ext partition on your SD card. If you can get me a script that works for the Epic then I'll gladly include it in my kernel, but I don't really feel like porting on my own it since I personally would not use it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
so, i still need setcpu to get the epic up to 1.2 with this kernel? thanks for the great work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well I PM'ed him, I got to figure out if it will work, and second thing is to see if we can get the dalvic cache pushed to the sd card now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
By default this will automatically scale up to 1.2Ghz. You don't have to have SetCPU per-se, but if you want to use anything other than the conservative governor with 100mhz to 1.2Ghz scaling, then you will need it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
thanks. will test and report if any issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] 816jared:
is overclock widget an acceptable replacement for SetCPU?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dondadah88:
I think that you should lower the voltage alittle bit more at a time.

The snapdragon is as low as 800 but the stable voltage was 925. On the evo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
DI07?

So is this updated kernel still based on DG27 or DI07? Thank you :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Thats a common misconception. It is NOT at 925mV for the higher clock speeds, thats the minimum clock speeds.

The default voltage for the minimum speeds on Snapdragon is 1V, and the max top is 1.3V. It's just like on the Hummingbird chips.

My voltage for the minimum speeds of 100 & 200mhz IS 925mV & my max top voltage for the overclock is lower than the default voltage for un-overclocked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dondadah88:
Thank you for clarifying.

If you need a tester for lower voltage. Im here just pm me. Prefer email. My username at gmail.

I hope you can lower the max some more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
