Thanks og... trying now.
[Nexus S Android Development] mattdub1:
what are the downfalls to the uv kernels as compared to the others? thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Downside is that it won't be stable for everyone. Just like OC can be unstable for some, UV is the same.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Holy s***. This is crazy. I dunno how you've fixed tbe slow DB write that come with every other kernels but your kernel is crazy fast!

Thx a lot man.

Steve

Edit: Wait, why is there a quadrant mount point? Are you cheating quadrant DB score by mounting the DB to the external storage??! I ran RL SQLlite bench and I'm getting 90 secs + results. Which means DB write are still slow in real life situations... Anyhow, overall seems fast and I'll continue using your kernel, especially if battery life is good!
[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Do you have a plan for make UV for stock?
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Lol, yeah there is a quadrant cheat. Check the I/O scores :) A great kernel irrespective.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Ahahah I knew it! :P

Kernel is still really responsive. I'm impressed for an UV no OC kernel...

EDIT: Is that a permanent cheat? Installed other kernels afterwards to test them and now the quadrant cheat is still there.. Well at least I'm getting 3884 in Quandrant when OC'ed to 1.3 now. LOL
[Nexus S Android Development] suksit:
Love the way you name the kernels in Thai :D
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
No it's not a permanent cheat (at least I don't think so). When flashing a new kernel if that kernel does not include the cheat it doesn't carry over.
[Nexus S Android Development] morfic:
A flashed/copied script in init.d folder will stay behind, just like a bootanimation or su+superuser.apk
[Nexus S Android Development] morfic:
Give them 1.2 safe or fun.

You know they want ประทัดจีน
[Nexus S Android Development] blackerwater:
This kernel boots up on stock 2.3.3 and runs awesome just an fyi. Lol

og-ns-CM7-sabai_land-1.3.7.3.zip

Brings me up to the most current kernel .12 and its super fast. It says its only for CM but it boots fast works like a beast on the stock rom ........

[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Oh, great. I should try that.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
the cat is out of the bag! hahaha. go to /etc/Init.d and delete 10mountfix with rootexplorer then reboot;)

edit** btw, only the special edition kernels have the extras

Nice:D
[Nexus S Android Development] chrlswltrs:
I was just about to download and install the UV kernel, but I have a question first. Does this kernel include BLN and Voodoo? I am too used to having those to give them up even though I would love a UV kernel. Also, what is the difference between the 2?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
yes. they both have bln and voodoo. 1.3.7.3 (sabai land) has the old color drivers (2.3.2)
[Nexus S Android Development] kfjunky:
Thank-you!

Thank-you for this kernel.

I always wanted a snappy kernel, minimum tweaks to avoid issues.

So far working great with RC1!
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
your welcome;)

just to put it out there the "first" rc 74.6mb was borked

confirmed on this one http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/215-update-cm-700-rc1-ns-signedzip/
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
haha, I'm ruined because of you:D just got my new sennheiser's in the mail. the donate app is all me...worth every penny;) thank you for all you do!
[Nexus S Android Development] kfjunky:
Thannk-you

Forgive my typo RC7 >>>> RC1.

Yes, I am running the revised version.

First release was a nightmare...
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
He made me buy new headphones too :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Eppidemic:
I'm brand new to Modding. I installed the CM7 mod and your kernal. I did all this cause I have really low ear speaker volume. Is this something that will improve the ear speaker?
[Nexus S Android Development] nicholasbgr:
Thanks for this kernel, gonna give it a try when I get home and flash CM7.
[Nexus S Android Development] 651stp:
The combination of this kernel and rc1 is so stable I finally love my phone again. No force closes so far and it feels snappier than any nightly with oc kernels. Thanks again!
[Nexus S Android Development] IcOpRo:
Great Kernel awesome Job OP, super stable, very fast and snappy... Thanks a lot..

:D
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
At the moment there are no ear piece tweaks to increase volume in the voodoo mod but Supercurio has mentioned that he plans to work on this in the future.
[Nexus S Android Development] chrlswltrs:
This is the first new kernel I have tried. So far it's running great, super fast. Looking forward to trying out my Bose headphones with my phone now!

Running CM7 RC1
[Nexus S Android Development] fosdos4790:
Any chance you'll be incorporating the new voodoo color fix into this. Thanks for all the work regardless.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
just flashed this kernel with cm7 rc1. nothing negative to report awesome work. noticed the huge difference in speed. stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] matt_stang:
x3
[Nexus S Android Development] chrlswltrs:
Voodoo makes a big difference. I had enabled bass boost with DSP manager and I noticed that caused some distortion sometimes. After installing this kernel the distortion is gone and music sounds amazing.

One thing I have noticed is using setCPU I tried to make a screen off profile at 400/100. When my screen goes off the phone just locks up and requires a battery pull to reboot. Other than that I have had no problems at all. Eventually I will probably move to an OC kernel with the ext4 and Voodoo mods, but for now I am very happy with this kernel! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
yes...sound be available soon. I am setting up a new machine which is delaying it:(

I should update the op to not use setcpu;)
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
ya know my phone runs better and smoother when i am not using setcpu, and using this kernel with cm7. Only problem is the battery life does not last me through the day... Only way it does if it I use setcpu and have it set 100/200 with screen off on netarchy's kernel so it doesnt use as much when the phone is off. Does anyone else get good batt life without doing that and is there anything I can do to help mine out because i would rather not use setcpu. I am sure this has been talked about over and over again and im sorry ;/
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
to be able to use setcpu profiles lower than 800mhz I would have to patch the kernel with a "fix" I don't intend to do this because I wanted to keep the kernel as "stock" as possible

If you want to have your screen off profiles set low, I suggest using netarchy or morfic's kernel. they have versions that will boot up at 1000mhz and only overclock if you tell them too.

my personal opinion is to let the phone run at what it wants, a "fast" cpu will get the job done quicker and thus using less battery rather than struggling at a low clock

something to note* I was suffering from "bad" battery life and I noticed my dialer was keeping the phone awake. I did a factory reset and a clean install and that fixed it. (no restoring data just apps)

-another thing is leave your gps off, because if your phone needs location info about you (maybe an app) then your gps will be enabled using big amounts of battery

-also apps that update in the background (widgets) that use data will draw alot of power in a low signal area. with that being said it is better to "idle" will wifi than a poor gsm signal
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
new kernel with voodoo color (and sound) pending additional release from supercurio...soon;)
[Nexus S Android Development] chrlswltrs:
So I am assuming the other one has the 2.3.3 color? I may be in the minority, but I like the 2.3.3 colors

Downloading and installing now....

Installed, everything seems to be running great, I'll post battery results after a full day at work tomorrow.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
booted dee over SuperAOSP 6.. so lets see how it will work :D .. thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] TRIUMF:
would be nice to see the description of special kernels in the first post. Now need to scroll through the thread to find out what it's all about :)

Thanks for great kernels!
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Thinking about it now, hope I didnt ruin this for you ... I should have just pm'd. FYI, I'm gonna keep this. I'll even make an update.zip out of it just for kicks ;)

So, was that the only added feature of triple dub?!

Steve
[Nexus S Android Development] tatwamasi:
I don't understand EXT4 on Nexus S, do I have to partition the storage on the phone myself, which is how it worked on my last phone so I could use Apps2SD?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
You dont have to do anything, its just something that automatically changes a parameter (or option) when mounting the storage. Nothing has to be partitioned at all :)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
No no, its all in fun.:p

really to me, I need a kernel to preform without lag....all while getting very good battery life.

If you delete the 10mountfix then you will see the kernel still does very good on quadrant

The special edition kernels also have the "77sdcardspeedfix" which changes the cache size from 128 to 1024...that makes a big difference when opening the gallery for example;)
[Nexus S Android Development] blackerwater:
I love how the 1.3.7.3 (sabai land) works on stock and not just CM. I'm getting great battery life as well. This is my favorite kernel thanks OG

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
I hear ya. I want the same in a kernel... my phone functions almost perfectly with your triple dub kernel. The only problem I see is related to browser but I don't think it as anything to do with the kernel.

So for some reason when I switch from nexus one CM7 to Nexus S CM7 it seems that the browser is a lot slower I read somewhere that google added lot of snapdragon related speed improvement in the browser. Can't wait until they do the same for the hummingbird cpu. Then the phone will be perfect!

Steve
[Nexus S Android Development] reddv1:
So what's the difference between the sazanka kernel and the sabai land kernel in the 2.3.2 color edition?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
sabai kernels are undervolted
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
hmmm, thats interesting in regards to the browser (my N1 is long gone so I haven't compared it to anything)...I'm going to do a little research and maybe find a way to bump it;)
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
i find myself using the nexus one browser, at work, more often then the nexus s browser. it does seem to be faster, and performs better with flash then the nexus s browser.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Wifi or 3G/4G?

I find myself using the Dolphin HD

usually instead of the Android browser. But, barely use my phone on any flash content.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
What I found is that scrolling is much, much, much more pleasant on the nexus one. For some reason as soon as you have a bit too much pictures with the Nexus S it becomes sluggish...

That would be great if someone can take a look at that! I can't remember where I heard that google did tweaks for the snapdragon processor in the browser, I'll try to trace it back. Or that might just be a JIT thing. We all know that snapdragon crushes the hummingbird on JIT stuff..

What would be nice too is a kernel re-base. 2.6.37.x, which is the new base kernel for Nexus One, brought a lot smoother UI interaction. Last kernel I ran with my old Nexus One was IR's 2.6.38.2 CFS+ and the phone really fast, lot faster than NS, up until you do anything 3D. The NS just crush the N1 in 3D. I just can't wait to see .37 or even better .38 kernels on the NS, I'm pretty sure this make things lots smoother.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Browser on the N1 outperform the NS in both 3G and Wifi...
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Maybe something to do with the underlying code.
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
Sabai UV kernel open to test on stock 2.3.3?

For the record I'm using morfic's UV kernel right now. But I want to see if yours gives better battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
Just flashed Sabai Dee on stock 2.3.3. Booted fine. Will run it for a few hours n post back.
[Nexus S Android Development] blackerwater:
☆ sabai land® on stock 2.3.3 is freaking awesome. After taking off the charger at 6 and working all day with heavy use I still have 60 percent left . Great kernel.

[Nexus S Android Development] BOMBSHOP:
Cool deal thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] chrlswltrs:
I updated to the Sazanka kernel last night. Today battery life has definitely improved. The only problem I have had is I experienced a lot of lag when doing a lot of multi tasking. I would love it if there was no lag, but I can deal with it for the battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
any way to make the db reads actually faster. can we reformat the db partition or mount something thats faster for db instead. the quadrant tweak is nice but not a real world fix.

also some updated screenshots would be nice.
[Nexus S Android Development] tadaha:
i was using dolphin HD and when the page has images, it appears to be sluggish. Today i decided to give mozilla firefox a try and wow it was quite smooth.
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
how much undervolting does the sabai kernel do?
[Nexus S Android Development] swa2k4:
Tested battery for the last day and the results when it comes to uptime without having to charge is best for the sabai dee uv kernel! I can finally get through a whole day and not have to plug in while getting great speeds on internet browsing and very fluid ui... 19h with almost 6 hours talk time and 2 and a half on screen this works best for me! Way to go over trinity uv if u need good battery! Now testing with latest nscollab and radio! Lets see how it goes! Go og

Edit* just wanted to add this is all on a beautiful 75% brightness all day too.. Nothing can touch this kernel as of yet- Sabai Dee UV ftw

Sent from my Nexus S running NSCollab 1.0.21 (CM7 n42, Jame Bond Sabai Dee UV Kernel w/ UD Launcher, Baseband KB3)
[Nexus S Android Development] dan13l:
Been running Sabai Dee all day. Phone just hit 16 hours uptime with 20% juice left in the tank. Amazing.

Usage was auto brightness, calls, photos, tweets. Really impressive stuff.

Stability has been good. Had an odd radio issue earlier on where calls and data stopped working, but an airplane mode toggle fixed it.

Great work! Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
are all frequencies equally undervolted on the sabai dee?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
yes the sabai dee and sabai land (2.3.2 colors) are equally undervolted in my folder are sabai sabai 1.4.7.3 and sabai 1.3.7.3 that are a little more "experimental"

you can't compare to other kernel "brands" though, because the "base voltages" might not be the same;)
[Nexus S Android Development] eatTHESEbullets:
So how exactly do i flash this. I do kpt have stock kernel amd i am on miui. If i have to.go.to stock kernel is there a source.?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
just flash from recovery. People have stated the kernels for cm7 work on miui;)
[Nexus S Android Development] 08123369698:
Hhhiii og can u please make sabai kernel with 2.3.3 driver colors for 2.3.3 stok ROM thanks very much og
[Nexus S Android Development] BowLow:
Man this kernal is beautiful. Running on miui with no problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
look for it (official) tomorrow...some have been running the cm7 version on stock:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Which Stock kernels are based on 2.6.35.12
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
would you suggest running the cpu at the default 100min/1000max frequencies that setcpu offers? or should i set it to one particular frequency? for best battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
none yet...look for them tomorrow;)

as stated in the op...do not run setcpu with any of my kernels, I guarantee you will only hurt battery life. so if you have it, use default...I recommend uninstalling it.

*edit instructions on op have be modified for bigger font with regards to setcpu

*setcpu is not recommended for this kernel, underclocking/profiles will decrease battery life
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
Oh yes! I had forgotten what I had read in the instructions. Thanks.

So the stock kernel will be out tomorrow? Can't wait.
[Nexus S Android Development] albertogg:
hey if i'm changing from sabai-dee to triple-dub or vice versa, do I have to erase something? or just flash it over?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
just flash over the top;)

usually, when flashing the same "brand" you can flash over the top
[Nexus S Android Development] jacksonj51:
2 1/2 days on the Sabai kernel with normal use... what more can be said!!!

I'd like to propose a Soi8 or Fuji Kernel next.. better yet maybe an LD1???
[Nexus S Android Development] alturismo:
Can also confirm cm7 kernel runs fine on stock, why ever ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] TRIUMF:
Don't know is it bad or good idea and is it worth it or not, but maybe kernels should be uploaded to kernel manager for easier and faster download/flash?
[Nexus S Android Development] 08123369698:
Nicee!!!!!!!! Thanks og
[Nexus S Android Development] juniorxdb:
for me, your triple dub kernel saves more battery than the UV sabai kernel...

I tested two nights with the Nexus in Standby and the triple dub kernel consumed one percent and the sabai five percent battery
[Nexus S Android Development] :
You care to elaborate a bit on difference between Sabai Dee and Sabai Sabai? ;) thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] bratfink:
@OP i really think you should next to the kernel names briefly explain their features instead of people wondering what triple dub and samba dee means etc etc (cos those names aren't very self explanatory to be honest :P!)
[Nexus S Android Development] tmello56:
Dee is a uv kernel the other is not
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
Its all in the op...all the kernels have the "features" in parenthesis next to them.

*except the "special edition" kernels...

for example the triple dub is a 1.4.7 kernel with (from op) -The special edition kernels have 2 additions both in the /ect/InIt.d -10mountfix and -77sdcardspeedfix

and all sabai kernels are undervolted (still special edition) (from op) -New special edition "Sabai" Uv kernels for incredible battery life

I thought I was being clear:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
was clear enough for most but not some i guess.

any chance we could get a newer kernel base 2.6.37.xx? or 2.6.38.xx?
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
-New kernel edition with the base 2.6.35.12 (dubbed the "best kernel in a long time" by Con Kolivas)???;)

I'm no kernel expert...he is, just saying:p

anyways, I reorganized the op so it should be easier to follow:D

New kernels also in the op...sabai (uv) for stock with 2.6.35.12 base:cool:

*edit kernels updated to 1.4.7.4

changelog- moved the sdspeedcardfix (readahead buffer) to the ramdisk (now in cm7 btw)

also for stock, 1.4.7.3 did not have sdspeedcardfix (readahead buffer)...1.4.7.4 and 1.3.7.4 do;)

Voodoo sound v8 is out, so I guess the next version will be 1.4.8 ;)?

[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
new layout in op is more visually a appealing.

just curious how much of a uv are you using in the kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] :
excited for an update also :)
[Nexus S Android Development] scrytch:
Hi ogdobber,

Thanks for these kernel's - makes my Nexus S far more useful.

Just a question - I've installed the 1.4.7 kernel base 2.6.35.12 Triple-dub on my CM7.02 Nexus S, and Voodoo Control Panel is now reporting an unsupported kernel. Is this normal or a bug?

Also - should I be running the CM7 kernels, or is the Triple-dub OK?

Thanks,

Shane.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
that would be very nice:D, seems a few are having trouble with mediafire:(

should work, the triple dub is a cm7 kernel will all the voodoo...check your settings
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
btw, version 7 sound is the "latest" version 8 is for the paid app...and I think it is mainly a fix for the captivate

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2724752/kernel/og-ns-CM7-sazanka-1.3.7.4.zip
[Nexus S Android Development] robto:
Similar results here.

Maybe we tryed triple dub first and should have deleted some files after installing Sabai kernels......

Anyway, 1%/hour is fine. I get 2% in stand by with Triple Dub.

EDIT: In post 620 ogdobber said the is no problem flashing Triple Dub on Sabai or vice versa. So, same results here: better battery with Triple Dub compared with Sabai
[Nexus S Android Development] djnoicatse:
Can i just flash this over netarchy using CWM? I'm experiencing pretty bad battery life with netarchy and im hoping this kernel would do me better. Running stock 2.3.3.
[Nexus S Android Development] mattdub1:
so i flashed cm7.0.2 and tried the newest sazanka kernel.. before this i was running the 1.3.7.3 on cm7.0.0... anyone else with similar setup notice that quadrant scores are lower now with this kernel and 7.0.2? not that it matters much for real performance but i was just curious bc i used to get above 3000 consistently with 7.0.0 and 1.3.7.3 and now consistently getting 2700 to 2800.. am i also correct when i read that the new cm7.0.2 has the ext4 and quadrant cheat in it? if so then why are scores consistently lower than with this sazanka kernel...from my understanding this kernel just adds those two features and not much else ...just seems weird to me maybe im missing something. also, i tried; putting the 1.3.7.3 back on 7.0.2 becuase i figured the new 1.3.7.4 wouldnt be as fast in quadrant since the tweak was moved to the ram disk but had pretty much the same results... what are the benefits of moving this to the ram disk? Ok, now that im done writing my novel anybody got any answers?? thanks in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] mattdub1:
yes but you have to remove a few of the files in the system/etc/init folder for it to work properly. there are instructions in the OP

**(stock rom)..if you are not coming from a stock kernel (i.e. morphic) then go to system/etc/init.d and delete

[ S_10mountfix ] and [ S_99complete ] then go to system/ and delete the modules folder. then flash og kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] scrytch:
ogdobber,

Thanks for the reply. I checked & kernel is loaded fine. See attached screenshot for error message.

Regards,

[Nexus S Android Development] :
i got that also, uncheck that checkbox and click continue. worked fine for me
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
thats correct, but the files in the system/etc/init.d are [99nexusunit] and [99placeholder] for the netarchy kernel...also delete the modules folder then reboot to recovery and flash;)
