I do not have a update zip from SD. How do I get a different recovery mod I am using clockworkmod 2.5.1. Or how do I flash the zip files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
If you don't have install from sd card you are not in clockmod. There is no other recoverys for are phones
[Epic 4G Android Development] beavis4ever:
That is the Samsung recovery it sounds like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Does the Manual brightness adjuster from the notification bar still work with this kernel? Also, if I wanted to go back to the stock DI18 kernel, how do I do this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yes, and if you want the stock DI18 kernel, you flash this-

I'm hoping for an update soon, any way you could do a super low voltage 1.0ghz version? OC is great and all, but the battery life is still suffering. Thanks Geniusdog, you the man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
This next version is locked at 1Ghz by default, unless changed in SetCPU manually. I know I said that before, but I'm for real this time ;)

It'll also still be undervolted of course.

[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
hey man i was over at the heroic epic thread and noticed the op added a patch for the your kernel and was wondering if you will be releasing your kernel with his custom boot screen patch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'm considering it, but the problem is that it then breaks the boot screen on any ROM that doesn't use the new bootscreen method. I may switch and just include a boot screen on my own in the update.zip, but I'll see.

If I get everything done today, look for a release tonight. My plans are to finish the interactive governor today, and then look at RNDIS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
looking forward...
[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
great! ditto above comment :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Sweetness, I can't wait! Can you give me a heads up on twitter. I'm korey118
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I am looking forward to the next release. I like the concept of this kernel (voodoo, brightness mod, undervolt), but it ended up draining battery faster and causing random lockups about once a day (gave me horrible WM flashbacks). I opted to go back to stock for now, but look forward to testing the next revision.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Whats funny is, the bad battery & weird brightess was all because of the ****ty Samsung optical sensor & their code for it. Tweaking anything with it breaks the whole damn thing, so I put it back to stock for this next one.

Status report:

Fixed interactive governor & set it to default

Fixed brightness issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
sweet! not trying to be pushy, but is this being released tonight?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Prossibly (possibly & probably mix lol)

See, we have pretty much everything we want, but we're still working on getting RNDIS working and it's still being a *****. If I can't make it work by 7PM CST I'll go ahead and release. Thats 1.5 hrs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
cool man. your kernels are the fastest around, that i've tried... if you can get the battery to match you'll have a monopoly in the epic kernel industry :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
oh! about the interactive governor -- i was talking on mirc with tehdarkknight (nullghost) and when set in interactive mode the CPU clock wouldn't scale, but I did notice the CPU % load idle extremely low, around 3-4%. I know he's already posted that in his thread, but was just wondering if you got it to scale, he'd probably like to know :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Just installed. So far I'm very impressed, the phone is definitely snappier. The xda app started noticeably faster. Linpack 9.7, I think it was 8 something before. Quadrant was like 1008.

I hope battery life is just as fabulous, great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] asj2583:
Another suggestion...anyway to get baked snaked 1.3 ghz clock speed? Even if it is exp.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
hi to the OP and thanks for a great kernel. following this thread, are we still on for 7-8 CST?

looking forward...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
The problem with 1.3 GHz overclock is that not all chips can hit it safely. Geniusdog254's phone shipped with one of those chips. Every piece of silicon is different and can handle different things.

The goal of this kernel is to be the best experience for EVERYONE.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gophergun:
Shouldn't be too hard to add in higher frequencies and just package it as being for advanced overclockers or something. Not necessarily something I'd expect Geniusdog to be responsible for, but someone here could probably handle the source changes if he doesn't mind and if they care about it enough.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yep, I'm running the final right now to make sure there's no glaring bugs. If all is well, I'll upload soonishly.

It wouldn't be that difficult to add, but then I run into the issue of creating a second kernel tree and maintaining two builds, or running SetCPU full time to cap at 1.2Ghz. I would love to see someone else do it with my kernel, but I don't forsee doing it myself.

[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
stays pinged at 800mhz :( doesnt scale
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Try SetCPU. Are you sure? It's working fine for me.. Try a governor other than interactive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Yep, using setCPU. It scales if I *don't* choose Interactive. Same thing happens on darkknights kernel. Not sure why it chooses 800mHz and stays there. But if I choose conservative or ondemand, it will scale.

Just wanted to bring to your attention that since it's set to Interactive on boot, people that don't play with setcpu may get less than desired battery results since the CPU won't scale down from 800mhz. Runs great though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into the interactive governor issues. Also I'll set conservative back to default for next release, but leave the interactive there for those that want it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I can confirm this behavior.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tehdarkknight:
Same thing happened with mine, and that's exactly what I did. For what it's worth, people are reporting much nicer idle cpu usage with Interactive. (3-4% with interactive versus 10-15% with conservative).
[Epic 4G Android Development] flopez76:
Alright just installed, and I'll let you know how that battery is. Thanks man, keep up the good work

Sent from Epic(MixUp kernel)
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
This bodes very well for when interactive is scaling properly....
[Epic 4G Android Development] beavis4ever:
I can confirm that scaling isn't working. Mine was running at 1GHz instead of 800Mhz though. It never clocks down, and if you move the slider below the current speed,and then move it back up, it never clocks up either.

Thanks for getting an update out though Geniusdog. I appreciate all the effort you have put in to your kernel. And everyone that has contributed as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Possibly, we can't be sure. The idle usage difference could just be because it's finishing **** faster at the higher speed.. not entirely sure though. I took a quick look at the code and it *should* be scaling it seems like but I didn't look much. I'll look tomorrow.

It seems to be a bug with interactive governor. If it bothers you or kills battery, just jump back to conservative in SetCPU.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
Not a fan of no more voodoo
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Voodoo wasn't removed. noVoodoo was. We still have voodoo but maintaining two trees for almost identical code becomes tedious, especially when voodoo is working how it should.

Right. That is what I did. Perhaps it is a bug in SetCPU?

while setCPU conflict with juicedefender? and if not then whats the best cpu settings for battery life
[Epic 4G Android Development] kshah:
Thanks, this kernel is giving me much better battery life than stock and perhaps any other kernel. It hangs occasionally though
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
Just updated to the most recent kernel..

Scored 11.32 Linpack!! :eek: Haha...I'm sure it was a one time fluke. ;)

Ran 5 or so more tests and it consistently ranged between 9.65-9.82.

For some reason Quadrant scores have always been a little lower on my device than some others, but it scored on average mid 950's to 980's.

Overall this latest build seems to run a bit more snappy and smooth than the previous one on my device. I'm sure individual experiences will always vary, but it's working well for me.

SetCPU governor set to conservative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vessey632:
Pretty much the exact experience I'm having with the latest. Averaging around 9.7 on Linpak and 1005 on Quadrant. Keep up the good work Genius!
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
PBAP profile?

Firstly, Genius, I've been using your kernel since your first upload and it rocks. Again, many thanks!

Quick question: is there any way to add the PBAP bluetooth profile for automatic address book transfer to the Epic? This is truly the only thing I miss from my Evo and rely on it when in my car.

Thanks!

Edit: OK, I see the problem is that I use Exchange contacts and not gmail, which seems to be an issue. I'm not sure this question is relevent. Sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I'm still having the same blue hue issue with the kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
What's this blue hue issue that you are talking about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Thanks for your work.

There's something _severely_ messed up with the new kernel. I don't run SetCPU, and with the old kernel I was getting 9.15 in Linpack, and now I'm only getting 6.53.

I really don't want to buy SetCPU, I don't plan on overclocking. Can you re-release a version that works in its default configuration?
[Epic 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
Switch the governor of the kernel with setcpu. Fyi setcpu is free for xda members. I think app is in G1 forums

Great work on this newest release, any chance you could be kind and ask Mammon88 for his bootanimation code? If this were included in your kernel that would be awesome. I will never stop following this kernel as it gets updated, best one for the Epic by far. Thanks Geniusdog!
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
yeah its right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

i just switched from baked snacks v1.3 kernel (which i had oced to 1.2, 1.3 kept freezing my phone) and i'm noticing slightly better performance at least in linpack on this kernel. conservative governor with both (i too had mixup locking at 800 with interactive)

the one thing i notice is this: on baked snack i had switchpro brightness settings at 10%, 50% and 100%. 10% was fine most of the time, except in sunlight of course. 10% on this kernel seems WAY dark while 20% actually seems much more different than i'd expect. i'm assuming it has to do with voodoo but baked snack had voodoo incorporated too.

figured i'd FYI the OP. thanks for your work!

EDIT: AOSP Magic 0.4.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
We modified the brightness settings across the board in this kernel. The lowest brightness saves battery and is really only used when you're in a totally dark room. I'd recommend sticking with auto-brightness on this kernel. I promise you won't be disappointed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
i'll certainly give it a try, generally dont like automatic "any"thing but at your word i'll check it out ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
Nice work Geniusdog runs great, tests well, hopefully battery will be better than the last version

Epic 4g with Epic Experience 1.2.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
I too have backed snack latest and just install new 1017 mixedup kernal. Used setcpu to oc to 1.2. Much slower than baked kernal or even previous kernal. I am getting quad of 919 versus 1050 or 1100 oc to 1.3 on backed snack. But I will change to conservative and play with it a bit. I'd certainly be happy to sacrifice a little speed for huge battery improvements. Check back later after some tests and playing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Quadrant scores are bloated and mean almost nothing. I'm getting 1090 average in Quadrant with a slightly modified version of this kernel (and none of the modifications would improve speed anyhow). An extra 100 MHz is good for nothing other than killing your battery on a phone like this. It's the modifications to how the phone actually handles tasks that is going to improve usability. Bechmark tests are great for gloating your e-penis, but when it comes down to actual usability, they mean next to nothing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
hahahahaha.......and i agree...I am stealing that line for a signature!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Was that a smack to hero and his backed snack?... Jk don't really care either way.

Wether or not quad means anything gloating ones penis still feels good. Lol.. it is truly slower and less snappy. However it seems as if battery is Better to early to completely post results. More stable for sure.

Damn xda app keeps closing on me out of know where. Right in the middle of f...ing typing. Bout ready to uninstall app. It did this prior to this kernal, prior to backed snack, prior to previous mixed up kernal. Man it pissess me off. Any one else encounter same issue or have a fix. I use xda app several times a day! Hate to have to remove it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
I do agree with excellent work. Ive always preferred the mixed up kernals, and this one is the best yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd7318:
Does anyone know if this kernel plays nice with the fm transmitter in a jabra cruiser? Cant seem to get it to work and not sure if it's the kernel or if it's the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Just noticed kernal shows as voodoo on system.about.screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Not a hit at all. Hero does great work. I'm just saying you won't actually notice a performance increase from 100 MHz. With your situation, chances are that you're using the default governor (interactive) which is currently only using speeds of 800 MHz. If you use SetCPU and set it to conservative, you'll see your Quadrant scores jump again.

My phone is zippy as hell. I've tried Hero's kernel, and while it is a great piece of work, I have to say that this is just as fast and has better battery.

As it should. This is a VooDoo kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
what kinda battery life are people getting on this? i've heard some insane reports with people using baked snack.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vince06:
Does "power saving mode" actually work or should I have it unchecked?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'm considering adding it, but the problem is you can have one or the other. If I set it to the new animation code, then it kills the animation on any ROM that doesn't have the new one, but if I leave it how it is then it's broken on ROMs WITH the new animation. It's just a few characters difference, so I may just do two releases and change it when I compile. I'll see.

I'm not sure it really matters at all. It annoys me to have it checked, so I leave it off, but it's up to you :)

EDIT: Also, as I said before I am switching back to conservative by default until I can fix/attempt to fix interactive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beavis4ever:
My battery life with the new kernel doesn"t seem as good as the 1005 nonvoodoo. I didn't have any luck with the 1005 voodoo kernel either. I don't know why but it seems like voodoo drains my battery faster. This one is better than my results with the 1005 voodoo though. Maybe tomorrow will be different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:

Interesting that people are having the 800 cap on interactive, I dont know what I have on my epic that lets me o/c to 1200 on interactive using SetCpu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
It just won't scale once it's on interactive. It just locks into whatever speed it was at when you first click interactive. If you time it right you can get to 1200, or 100 if you're unlucky lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unknown Zone:
Thanks for the info, I need to buy a lotto ticket then :D , but I always have mine set to conservative mode anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
you dont want to use it. all it does is set your cpu clock at the minimum speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
If I played an hour of Angry Birds, my battery would drop by like 25% at the very least. For some reason, that game drains my battery faster than anything. Even with brightness down.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
If DevinXTreme & I can figure it out, look for interactive fixes, an update to 2.6.29.6 linux kernel, and ever improved brightness tables as we seek perfection. Especially now that I figured out what went wrong with them before, so I can do more fancy stuff.

Devin is working on getting a stable BFS patch, but as of right now it locks up on boot so don't be expecting it for sure.

Of course if anything major pops up, I'll add it, along with whatever tweaks I think of along the way.

I'm looking at camera stuff now, but the things I want to do would be great for some people, but piss others off, so I'll have to get a final verdict on those.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
why does it do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Are you talking about the option under sound & display in settings?

If so, I don't think it really does anything, but my screen always seems dimmer with it so I keep it off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
BFS shouldn't lock up. Not the patch that I put on nullghosts 2.6.29.6 repo. Currently it panics on boot, but too early to get a decent kmesg. The problem lies in sched.h and a few bad includes. I'll have it functional by this weekend.

On that note, why don't you guys just fork his kernel? Then you can merge in your own changes with simple cherry-picks. That or do a simple rebase. :P

Currently your base is just outdated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:

I wish I could get this to work right when overclocking. This new update (and the last 10/5, based on DI18) cause my phone to freeze when I'm using 1200mhz with SetCPU on conservative. I had it on 1200mhz with the pre DI18 kernel and it worked flawlessly. Is it the way the programs are installed ? Should I do a complete wipe and reinstall programs? I had used a backup with programs installed pre DI18 if that makes a difference. Right now, it doesn't freeze immediately when using the 1200 but maybe once every few hours. Usually right when unlocking. It has no problem doing the "stress test" in Set CPU for a long time, so I don't think it's a bad CPU that can't handle it. Suggestions appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
What do you have your minimum frequency set to? If its at 100, try setting it to 200. Might be a voltage issue at the lower frequencies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] michaelw9:
I'll try that again, thanks. I had with the last kernel, but not this one, and it didn't work. But I keep 100mhz as the minimum with the 1000mhz and that works just fine.
