1. I stand corrected with the dalvik-cake storage of A2SD

2. I very much appreciate you taking the time to make a non-A2SD version for me and a few other users who as I noticed MIGHT agree with me on that feature

3. I kept having to restore it because I followed the instructions flashing the 2.5 recovery in order to create the proper partitions, which I quote from part 3 of your instructions, "You will still be on EXT4 the entire time, so there's not real need to backup your sdcard or worry about having to sit through the backup&restore again."...now most of us experienced "flashers" know from our experience that anytime you make an SD card partition it wipes your SD card, but there were a few users who also read this and lost all their SD card contents...BUT your right you put in big bold letters at the top of the post "Partitioning will erase your SD card"

4. OMW I was afraid you'd say that....please don't get me wrong or put me in the dogg house of complaining users...lol, I simply don't sugarcoat my opinions and I was just speaking my mind...but don't get me wrong I'm a loyal fan of ViperROM because you and the rest of the ViperSquad always take the time to bring new features (this kernel included) that aren't found in any of the other ROM's under the Epic 4G thread...and again I appreciate all you and your teams hard work...but somebody has to keep it real am I right or wrong...I'm not trynna throw shots my man lol trust :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lloydcabraham:
As for me, I really appreciate BThomas22x's work on trying to get a2sd working. Most people may not need it but if you've ever run Dalvik on sd (which isn't available with standard a2sd apps) it really makes a huge difference. Hey BThomas22x, thanks for all your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
+1 on this post. Were not here to demeanor your work. 99% of us here I believe know what is going on and how to perform all these actions without question. We do question why it is giving such difficulty to flash when normally you don't have "hang time" at the Samsung screen or have to play around with rerunning OneClickRoot to flash the kernel. I wouldn't think any of us have problems with our partitions if we are able to flash all the Genocides by Rodderik and Twilight Zones, Bonsai own and Dameon's kernels with no issues but then this kernel comes along which sounds great and promising but we can't get it to flash.

Like I said and the OP of this quote said we appreciate the work, were just having issues with getting it to flash. I do agree with making a version minus app2sd feature. Less headaches in the scripting I would think.

Glad to see you will be putting out a kernel minus the app2sd feature and hopefully for the many that are having difficulties flashing this kernel it will also we fixed in the next update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
3. - i meant you don't have to worry about it when switching recoveries ...not when partitioning ...when you partition, it's going to wipe ...but you don't have to worry about the switch wiping it ...i could have been more clear ...my apologies.

4. It's not about keeping it real or sugar coating anything ...look at it from my perspective ...let's say i just opened a car dealership and i got a brand new car i'm trying to sell, and then some one comes in while i'm making my sale and says "you can get another car kind of like it over here at this dealership"... I stated very clear in the first line of the OP before anything else, and i had testers test with success so i'm spreading it out to everyone else ...my testers tested it on viper... 99% success... there's no real way to say "hey, this is gonna work on every single ROM" because every single ROM is different. What you basically did was come in and say i was a failure because i did something that i had no idea what effect it would have on other ROM's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Devs work their asses off for nothing but a simple thanks.... then when they release something people question them and ask for more thats just pathetic

THANKS for your HARD WORK (The entire Viper team)

And if you don't like or have to question their work don't use it simple as that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
when i try to run a2sd install it says "SD card not mounted" cannot reinstall application to SD card

any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
The reason you have the run around with the one click with this one and not any other one is because of the A2SD ...you must have a partition... You don't need that with other kernels, therefore the work needed is a bit more. It's all 100% your choice to do it or not. And again, Read the opening statement in my OP.

Ok, So I decided to get this kernel out and played with a little more. Had quite a few people test it with success, so I'm gonna release it, but of course, I have to release it with the standard disclaimer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Do you have your phone plugged in and mounted to your computer?

also, you can try "a2sd reinstall"
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
nope it is unplugged.. and i tried a2sd reinstall getting the same error :confused:

I partitioned and did a fresh install of midnight then applied the kernel fyi..

ViperROM [SynErgY] EXT4-RFS Dual EB13 5.0

i was just wondering when this rom will be out (ViperROM [SynErgY] EXT4-RFS Dual EB13 5.0) or where i can get this..i saw this under bt and what he was running and thought maybe someone had an answer ? thanks to anyone that responds back to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Unmount your sdcard, and remount it.

For everyone else, i'm uploading an updated version of the A2SD kernel as well as a non A2SD kernel. If you get stuck at the sammy screen, power off your phone, pull the sdcard, and boot without he sdcard in. I was just told that it boots 90% more when the sdcard isn't mounted on boot. Then when it's booted, you can put it back in and run your scripts ...Apparantly it's only on the 1st boot that it does that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Hey, I don't mean to double post, but before my question gets forgotten, does it make a difference if you select anything above 512 and 128 when partitioning your SD Card?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Your best bet is to check the ViperROM Thread. TPhillips is heading the ROM development on this one, so you would have to look in the thread to see what he says.
[Epic 4G Android Development] galaxyd700:
ive looked but didnt see anything posted for this....bt can you post it so i can download it or is it only limited for certain ppl?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpike:
You're a tease!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
So will the new viper rom have this kernel already installed or are we going to have to flash it on top of it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Sorry I ment no disrespect either, and my guess it that this kernel just isn't playing well with othe roms, when the new viper drops I'll be 1st in line 2 flash, I luv what you and team viper do, the whole being able 2 get root 2 work with every other app but wireless teather threw me for a loop, and for the record rerooting didn't help as it appears I had full root, I hate 2 put this great kernel away for now but seeing as how I can't get it 2 run on any rom right now 100% correctly I must sadly pass it up... now if their is a rom out there that is 100% working with this kernel I would try itout sum more, I just thought posting my findings would help out, didn't mean 2 try 2 demean your work as its my fav out there and I know you work your butt off and I appricete the hell out of that... as a side note turning the brightness up helped the color issue but didn't 100% solve it. But like I said it was def not playing well with bonsi, couldn't get it to boot with ACS or eecores rom, just letting you know. Also I feel like a total D-bag for comming accross like a tool or ungreatfull in any way. Funny thing was trying 2get on my laptop w/ tether 2 actually thank you and once I revert 2 may back up exspect sum thanks,

Pat

Sent from my Epic4G isn't that enough? *disclaimer* I may not know what I'm talikin bout, plz take w/ a grain of salt or sheen style it "I was banging 7 gram rocks and finishing em... because I'm me" -if thats winning I'm losing....
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Ok i've updated the OP... But here are the links to the updated kernel versions...

A2SD Version

Spartacus_v1.0a_HFPS

For the A2SD version, if you are experiencing the hang at the Sammy screen... Power down your phone, pull out the sdcard, and reboot it without the sdcard in it. When it boots you can put the sdcard back in and run your scripts.

NON A2SD Version

Spartacus_v1.0a_HFPS_NONA2SD​
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
This kernel speed and response is incredible. I did have to uninstall cause the BRIGHTNESS went so high the colors were off and everything was washing out. Love the kernel just wish the brightness wasn't messed up with my rom. I am using Bonsai 3.0.1.

Is there anyway to get this exact kernel without the brightness change? BTW, Great work!!! Final a kernel that gets us back to speeds we had on android 2.1!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well BT, looks like everything is a go so far. Everything installed perfect on the first attempt. Apps still re-installing. Thanks for all the hard work and the patented perfect install instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
nah broo..its still giving me the same error
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol As I said, TPhillips is heading the development for it, so I'm not allowed to say anything about it. He posted screen shots of it, so I'd imagine he's close to release. My hands are tied my good man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Which one? ...The one with a2sd or the one without a2sd? ...The reason it's so bright is because of the FPS cap being raised... But I can lower it until the color is more normal?... Just let me know which one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Would it work on trinity rom well? Or the older viperroms or should I just hold out for new viper rom drop?

Sent from my Epic4G isn't that enough? *disclaimer* I may not know what I'm talikin bout, plz take w/ a grain of salt or sheen style it "I was banging 7 gram rocks and finishing em... because I'm me" -if thats winning I'm losing....
[Epic 4G Android Development] galaxyd700:
yeah just saw the work on this new rom...can wait for when this comes out...thanks for the quick response...can i just ask you what you think about this rom compaired to trinity 2.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
ok, try booting into recovery, reflashing the Kernel, and then pulling your sdcard out before you reboot it. Then boot the phone without the sdcard mounted. When the phone boots, put the sdcard back in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
It still has all the awesome features of Trinity 2.0, but it's about 100% faster. TP really outdid himself. Plus there's a few new features ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
That's a good comparison with the car dealership, but again I'd say now that I step back and look at the whole situation that I can understand where your coming from as the developer in the equation in the fact that you didn't know how it would work on other ROM's...I'd make the same comparison is saying that your an aftermarket performance parts dealer (your an aftermarket software dealer or maker) if you put out a product like idk...uhhh a blower kit or some kind of aftermarket ACU for Crysler or GM blocks...that's not to say their aren't different variations of that block you designed the ACU for....sometimes these kits come with a few extra parts that make it compatible with the "potential variations" of that same basic design...this is all for the Epic 4G but their are different variations of custom ROM's....and on your part it wasn't mentioned that it might have compatibility issues with other ROM's...on other ROM threads and in the theming sections...it is "most of the time" made clear what the products are compatable with...if this kernel was only compatable with ViperROM...hey your a ViperSquad developer...who can be mad at that.

BUT!...since from my general understanding this release is intended for the general EB13 crowd...I just figured to justify my comments earlier by making the current point I'm attempting with this post....I'm not comin at chu or trynna agrue trust...The Samsung EPic 4G would be a lil more boring without you and the rest of the ViperSquad...I'm just speaking my mind for myself and other people who I think have the same opinion as I do...I saw the NonA2SD version and I along with other users appreciate that...THANK YOU AGAIN!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] galaxyd700:
can you tell me what kind of features ? or is it confidentual?and 1 more thing how long have you had this rom and have you runned into in force closes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Hmmm... That's kinda 50/50 ...Some people didn't have success with Trinity, but they had success with one of the tester ROM's we did... Another person was able to flash it to trinity. I'd probably hold out for the new release... I posted the non a2sd version up and you can run that for now if you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Oh thanks BRIAN, You rock!!! The one I download was neither of those two. Hum, I use the apps2sd app. Is your script different? I guess the apps2sd Kernel please. Man, obviously the higher FPS is awesome to bad brightness is tied in! Thanks Ahead of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Just a quick note to the BT,

The new version minus the app2sd card installs fine.

I did find one bug that probably won't affect many.. Anyone running the Swype beta will have FC's. It has to be removed and stock Swype restored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I also understand where you are coming from, but at the same time, it comes right back to where i was coming from. I had ViperROM users testing it out ...the only way i would be able to find out if it was compatible with other ROM's was to put it out there. I was not aware that it would not be compatible with other ROM's, so to say ".and on your part it wasn't mentioned that it might have compatibility issues with other ROM's" wouldn't be benficial because i had no information on this before release. Again, I understand what you're saying... But you're assuming too much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol Brian? ...This information is incorrect lol. I will work on the kernel for you in a little... I'm heading back to work now, and i'll have it when i get off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
the thing is.. when i go to flash the kernel it automatically reboots
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
LOL.... Sorry, I guess every time I see your signature I think of a guy a knew named Brian Thomas....

Thank You!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] heathmcabee:
Ran the Non A2SD version on Bonsai 3.0.1 and it worked fine. Clocked up to 1.3 and using ondemand gov. Appreciate you releasing this and thanks for the hard work team viper! I'm off to run some benchmarks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol ok, well keep the back off your phone, when you flash and it turns the screen off to reboot, pull the sdcard out before it boots up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Please separate Ext4 and RFS sections. The overlap is CONFUSING!

Note: after partitioning the recovery log file is gone.

TIA,

all i have to say is... 17.8 mflops

much love man
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
17.98 missed 18 by that much.

Only problem is set cpu keeps reverting to 910 max 200 min any advice on that one. It stays at 1300 for a few minutes then changes.

Bonzai 3.0.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
Help

I finally got the kernal to run on bonsai 3.01 but Its really slow ..quadrant i get like 860 and also set cpu says its at 1300-200 but i also tried running the terminal emulator but im not sure how to use it ... i write down 1200-200.su but it says its denied ..any help would be appreciated
[Epic 4G Android Development] apatcas:
You need root first... then type su... then the script
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Same problem after su a lot of permissions denied
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
AWESOME

I ran the batt tweak script and just hit enable all tweaks and my phone is smooth sailing......thats the point of putting these things out there...so we can try em and tell you guys what still, if anything needs work.....no point in crying or complaining when you can just flash back to your old kernal...i for one am thankful for your hard work and continued desire to move forward in developing the best stuff possible!!!!! And for FREE...just wish there were less CRY babies and more THANKFUL people.:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I am having the same "permission denied" when trying to adjust min/max with Terminal Emulator. Also, the screen rotation is sticking on the landscape side
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
Yea you right only thing you are expected to worry about I assume (maybe a bad thing as you mentioned or not idk lol) is compatability with ViperROM...but it's out there now and the customers reviews are in so good fix with the adjustment to the non a2sd kernel...I flashed it and it's working just fine with the acception of control with setCPU I get the "could not autodetect frequencies" but I can see the voodo color changes and it looks great...thank you again...and I apologize for assuming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carlosaf1020:
I have root i gave it su permissions then type in 1200-200.sh and permission denied also tried the battscripts it says its not found
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
are you doing the batt-cfg ? or something else......
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I'm running Syndiate Rom 1.0.1 and I got past the boot screen but when I go into setCPU it says their is no root access but everything else that requires root works just fine. It's also saying batt-cfg is not found in terminal emulator.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
I can't get it to work in setCPU to controll anything did you make any adjustments for the non a2sd version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
also

if you find some of your apps force closing..like setcpu or terminal...or there just acting funny just uninstall and then reinstall the app and that should fix the problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
Same thing here is there anything that can be done via terminal emulator or any other potential fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Are we all missing a command after entering "su" in Terminal Emulator to adjust the scaling so it actually runs at 1.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
So no go on SFR 1.0.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ok just ignore the no root permission denied blah blah blah...after it says that press 1 and then enter and bam you should be good....OR like Rodd said...if your comming from ACS rom/kernel you need to rerun one click root
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes, the issue with ACS is that they put root in the kernel, but I don't believe in doing that for this very reason... you flash another kernel, you lose root... if you are using ACS, run the one click root. Nothing against the devs, its their ROM and Kernel to do as they wish, its just my preferences... ill keep root in my ROM so its never lost. They are great devs and I trust you already know that... its just a matter of preference. Just run the oneclick from post #2 that you need for your filesystem, whether ext4 or rfs, and you'll be good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Man, if I can get this to top out properly without setting SETCPU to 1.3/1.3 performance, this will be great. Top end speed is incredible, but if I put SETCPU to 1.3 top and 200 bottom on "conservative" it peaks at 800 or 900
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes, conservative is for exactly what it says... being conservative lol ...run on demand for proper scaling for higher speeds. Its a safety feature I put in to cooperate with the batt tweaks.

Also, I got your PM... I think I forgot the permissions for those 1300-200.sh and 1200-200.sh scripts... so in terminal emulator type "busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/1200-200.sh" and "busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/1300-200.sh" and you should be fine to run them then.

Got it working finally! This kernel is the best I've used. That said the color look a little washed up and reminds me of my sisters evo :p . I'm using non a2sd version on midnight.

Also I recommend starting from a fresh install to anyone running into problems..
[Epic 4G Android Development] kbnguy:
Holy batman ****!

Thanks Viperteam and BThomas22x for an awesome kernel.

Not only your kernel bump up the speed but it also fixes powered off charging and recovery boot in quickboot for ACS SFR 1.0.1.
