Here the the first offical release of Fluff Kernel for the Epic 4G
Ok here are two new versions for you all.One is the performance kernel and the other is the battery saver.Both are using the new version of my initramfs that comes with ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary.So i suggest if you have Superuser.apk installed to uninstall it before flashing either of these kernels since Superuser.apk will be installed in /system/app instead of /data/app.And now for the kernels.Both of these kernels are Rom Manager compatiable and have root in them.
This is the battery saving kernel.Changes to it are:
Both Kernels are updated to DI18 sourcecode.
CPU governor set to userspace you can use SetCPU to set the speed of the kernel if you like although SetCPU seems a bit unstable on anything other then conservative.
Default scheduler set to CFQ
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5B.zip
This is the performance kernel.Changes to it are:
CPU governor set to performance your cpu will always be set to max this gives the best numbers in linpack and quadrant if numbers are you thing.
Default scheduler is set to CFQ.
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5P.zip
This is another battery saver kernel for those who don't want to mess with SetCPU is uses the conservative CPU governor that the overclocked kernels use.
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5C.zip
All kernels have been compiled against a toolchain that is stable on the newest OTA.And all kernels have been built with stock Samsung kernel source with no modifications to the source code all changes were to the .config file.
This zip can be flashed with ClockWorkMod or can be taken out of the zip and the zImage can put used as a replacement for the zImage in the one click root method although this kernel has root built into it.I recommend removing the JoeyKrim root method to not cuase and conflicts.
This kernel still has some Samsung bloat in it this will be stripped out as time goes on.I will also be trying out different combinations of CPU governors and schedulers to see which one performs the best.So please test it out and post your feedback.
Link to the stock samsung source that was used for these kernels.

OK it was still broken but i promise its fixed now.The battery drain probably wasn't cuased by the kernel some people have had problems with android system running away and draining battery but it has nothing to do with the kernel they have flashed back to the stock kernel and still have had issues with battery drain and android system running away on them.

I wasn't implying that the drain was caused by the kernel, I was saying that my battery was draining because JuiceDefender wasn't able to disable the APN because my root access was broken. D/l-ing update now. Thanks again!

AnyKernel zips will only replace the kernel in your boot.img.
To define a boot.img:
Kernel(zImage) + ramdisk(root file system + init scripts) = boot.img
Where AnyKernel came from:
While searching for different kernels for my Motorola Droid I stumbled on a great idea implemented by Koush. Basically it will split the boot.img from recovery while your phone is running then replace the kernel and make a new boot.img and flash it along with the correct modules for the kernel.
I figured I would implement it on the CDMA Hero and it worked out.
This will work on any rooted rom with a custom recovery running Sense UI including the stock rom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the undervolted and overclocked kernels for Sense ROMS
These kernels are built from the HTC heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2ccf source with toasts overclock patch modified by darchstar/Decad3nce to include undervolt.
The git repo for this is @ http://github.com/zenulator/htc-heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2cff
The GPL license can be read @ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock
It has perf lock disabled to allow full overclocking with out the need use setcpu to disable perf lock. The clock speeds will stay at what ever the target rom uses unless you running a rom with no overclock built in. If so it will scale from 19mhz to 768mhz.
Download
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 perf lock
Same as above but with perf lock enabled. It will run at stock values on any sense Rom until you use setcpu. To overclock it you will need to set setcpu to autodetect and then disable perf lock inside setcpu.
Download
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StockVoltage Overclocked Kernel:
This kernel is built from the same source as the rest except the voltages were changed to stock values. It will max out at 691 and the governor is set to performance.
Download
Setcpu is free for xda memebers and can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3638937&postcount=1
Instructions:
Download the update and copy it to the root of your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Nandroid (just in case you want to go back)
Flash the update
Reboot
Check Settings > About phone > Software information > Kernel version
_____________________________________________________________________________
If you wish to modify this with another kernel just extract the update and replace the zImage in the kernel directory with the one you want and replace the corresponding modules. Then rezip and resign and flash. It will work on any 2.1 sense rom regardless of boot.img.
Damn good work zenulator I am downloading it now and will test thoroughly tomorrow and see how it go's.
Thanks for the hard work.
Works great, using it with your beta ROM. Lock screen lag is gone
I got used to it so I barely noticed it... but now it seems a lot faster
I know you just started this and it says for sense. But I gotta ask is there anyway that this will work with froyo? I'm not a fan of overclock roms because of the lag when you push the menu key till when you screen is actually ready to go. And this gives me hope
of having a kernel that doesn't do that

Yes it will work for froyo if you modify it and put in the correct zImage (kernel). It won't work with the update I posted since it's made for Sense roms and uses HTC's Synaptics driver which isn't compatible with AOSP 2.2 Froyo/Cyanogenmod.
If you want a AOSP kernel with no overclock and no ability to overclock at all then I can do that but not for a couple days. If you ask darch he might be able to do it quicker since he already has everything set up and most likely only two files will need to be changed before a compile.

Uhh. I'm going to give a brief explanation.
AnyKernel is a tool created by Koushik Dutta found here on github.
The beauty of it is that it can flash/add a kernel to any boot.img regardless of ramdisk. It literally does the unpacking of the boot.img, extracting of the ramdisk, deletion of the original kernel and repacking of the boot.img together with the kernel of your choice.
The difference with this is probably changes in base address/cmd line and possible how it's extracted(haven't looked at it). Very awesome tool nonetheless, and is a lot more efficient that going through the process of coupling the kernel with each specific ramdisk before releasing a boot.img.
That's how it's different from your quoted "kernel".

I understand the explanation but have to ask what rge different change. I know this will just change the kernal from the boot imiage which is great and it has the HTC synaptic drivers in the kernal but that kernal with the HTC drivers has already been implemented into the latest boot.imgs. its a cool concept and would make it easier to change just the kernal for a one shot stop when a newer kernal comes out but as of right now that's the same kernal most of the sense based roms have already implemented into them at this time. If im wrong I'm sorry.
Now with the HTC Synaptics driver included, the swipe action once the screen is on is no longer lagged. However, I notice that there is still lag from the time the power button is hit to the time the screen comes on as compared to stock where there is almost no lag. Is there some other driver or something that causes this?
Well just an update but it has been very smooth so far, 8 hours as still smooth . Great job. Screen rotation and scroll seem quicker also .

This will just make it a lot easier instead of having multiple boot.img for different roms like in the other thread. Plus this will work on other roms not supported in the other thread. I know the kernel brings nothing new but for instance if someone wants to overclock my old ZenHero they can now do that. Or if someone just rooted their phone and installed RA or some other recovery this is all they need to over clock and still keep their stock system.
So when someone makes a new kernel they can use this and have it work on any Rom instead of just a specific Rom.

Makes sense. I thought about it actually and it will make things easier. I used it earlier today on a boot.img I flashed first that had the ramdisk mod for battery tweak but I think was missing the HTC synaptic driver. Lag is all gone and it worked great.

Now this is what I'm talking about
I was looking for something like this. Darchstar is one helluva dev, but it seems like the only kernels in use these days are Toasts (base) then modded toast kerenels by Darchstar (which are great as well). But I'd like to see a couple of tweaks fixed in the most recent Kernel #6 such as the typo that Uroshiol mentioned that is located in the actual zImage in the DArchstar uv2 kernel 710 with freememkiller
Nice nice work ya'llz and great stuff Zen... makes the addition of new kernels a breeeeze
Wait...so there is an under volted, oc kernel available for nfinite's .6 stock rom that eliminates the menu button wake lag?? i dont like the lag but deal with it. although if there is a way to eliminate the lag, please share!!
Zen, you're definitely an unsung hero (no pun intended I swear) around these parts and I for one definitely appreciate your work. Cheers!
I added kernel tweaks from raspdeep's I9000 OC and got our bali kernel to OC, I'm running at 1.2 Ghz right now. I haven't tested this in terms of battery life, but there's a good chance your battery life may be less. So use with caution.
This 1.2 Ghz OC feels smoother and faster than stock, and better and more stable than 1.28Ghz. If you tried the 1.28 and gave up, try this 1.2, it's much better. I removed the link to the 1.28Ghz kernel because it was causing too many problems for everyone, and actually being slower due to freezing and overheating.
Battery life and stability not guaranteed
Use setcpu to control your cpu speed.
Credits to Dr. Honk for bali original, and raspdeep for OC source.
THIS IS FOR KG2 ONLY!
I have flashed this both on stock and on a custom KG2 rom, they both worked.
link removed because it was unstable - 1.28Ghz
Updated 1.2 KERNEL: http://www.multiupload.com/3QPMQY476F
3:55PM 8/3/2011
I provide no guarantees that this will work, make a backup before you try this!
This was really only made for all the kids who kept asking for an OC kernel.
It has been suggested that the 1.2Ghz kernel may be more stable, so I would suggest trying that one instead of the 1.28Ghz kernel
Flashing right now . You beat me too it ;p

I think that one most important mod is overclock and undervolt and later custom governor and I/O scheduler!

The kernel installed without errors trying both CWM 5.8.3.1 Touch and no Touch.
It simply does not go above 1512 Mhz.

Patch the kernel and compile from source.
No, I'm not joking.
I believe the kernel devs are working on getting something a lot better than a governor on a 2.6 kernel, but I'll leave that to them to reveal at the proper time.

I wish I could compiled it
Hopefully the kernel devs are not givin up
Since this is a GB kernel, it should be simple, assuming you know how to recompile a kernel from source, just to grab the OC etc routines out of one of AntonX's or bhundven's kernels and then just stick them in and recompile. Since everyone is using the same kernel so far this would only need to be done once. This erzatz ICS is slow and sure could use OC, more governors etc.
I added smartassv2 last night, but want to get a "clean" build off the AOKP tree and have a few days running it before I release it to the wilds.

Since this is a GB kernel, it should be simple, assuming you know how to recompile a kernel from source, just to grab the OC etc routines out of one of AntonX's or bhundven's kernels and then just stick them in and recompile. Since everyone is using the same kernel so far this would only need to be done once. This erzatz ICS is slow and sure could use OC, more governors etc.

Try my latest GummyMutt build. I injected lightning zap into it. You can also try using just the kernel and see how it works...

I added smartassv2 last night, but want to get a "clean" build off the AOKP tree and have a few days running it before I release it to the wilds.

Thomas - any chance you could provide quick instructions on how to extract and flash your kernel?

Download his rom unzip it grab the boot.img and flash it with heimdall. Then grab the wifi module(bcm4329 I think is the name lol) and push it to the same place u got it from (/system/lib/modules/)
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible neither is thomasraines or xda if you brick your device you are doing this on your own free will. The only thing you can say is how awesome thomas is for creating this and how awesome I am for uploading and writing directions. Any blame will result in me pointing and laughing uncontrollably.
Files removed thomsasraines posted the kernel in the dev section it can be found there. Please visit his thread and follow what he posted so you can get the full effect ok? If not tough I aint re upping the files .
Click the statement above for direct route to the kernel thread.
Unzip the bcm4329.ko, xda wouldnt let me upload a .ko file .
Put the bcm4329.ko file on your sdcard. Then using something like root explorer copy it to /system/lib/modules folder.
I suggest renaming the old one to bcm4329.ko.bak just in case.
Using heimdall you can flash the kernel using the following command.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
This is from terminal in ubuntu or cmd in windows. Make sure you are running the commands from the folder you put the boot.img in.
Once the phone reboots pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and run fix permissions. Then reboot.
so what will this do again? Is this for a kernel different than the kj6 one?
If you are unsure of what it is for then dont attempt the steps.
Do some more reading.

I have multiple kernels in progress. The common problem on all of them seems to be sd/mmc.
Patience will bring enlightenment.

Dude, can you make it CWM flashable??
Let the OC/UV fun begin...
Good job bro mind if I test it on some of my roms?

If im using a rom with LZ kernel already on it is it safe to flash this kernal ?

I'd be delighted if you tried it out. Let me see what I can do about a boot screen if you decide to distribute it.
hey jeffsf i gonna release a rom in couple days so do you mind if I use your awesome kernel?
Jeff(or Hefe if you prefer)
Nice work here. Just what we needed. I have one request(which if you know me you know I hardly ever make them). Any way in a future release you might be able to get Badass as a governor and sio as a scheduler? I find that combo works incredibly well an another phone of mine and would love to see how it treats the 4g. Also what are you using to set UV if System Tuner ain't sticking? I really hate Set CPU so I'm hoping for another recomendation. Thanks for this.

Let me look into finding and understanding the Badass governor, as well as the schedulers. I try to be conservative and only put things in that I understand, rather than just throwing in the kitchen sink. I agree that both governors and schedulers can impact both user experience as well as battery life.
OK, I found a better source of badass from showp1984 / "Bricked"
On the UV table, I need to work through how Linux deals with what I am used to knowing as sysctl as well as what the various apps expect.

Voltage Control worked for my limited time testing this lastnight.
Is it possible to backup the kernel before flashing yours? I tried to use the SGS Kernel Flasher from the market place but it isn't compatible with TWRP. Or is it recommended/manditory that I completely reflash the OS, then flash the kernel, then just restore apps using Titanium Backup Pro? Still getting the hang of it... I just have it burnt in my memory not to restore a backup over a different kernel... thanks to bhundven

Do a nandroid prior to flashing so if something breaks you can revert.
TWRP will backup your kernel. You will also need a backup of /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko Using TWRP to backup /system will cover you there.
I flash more kernels every day than I want to admit. The kernel is in a different partition than the system or data, so the chance of corruption of your "ROM" is pretty small. The only file changed in /system should be the bcm4329.ko (WiFi/Bluetooth module).

Thank you for clearing that up... I feel better testing stuff out now. A little safer knowing TWRP covers everything. Thank you for being so helpful.
Great kernel! I am using setcpu and changed 1.2 to .1 all down 100 voltage and every thing is running great and better battery life.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I just realized I am on the old kernel and I am undervolted using setcpu... Am I only partially under volted? I noticed its only the bottom in the negative. I'm used to using tegrak lol.
Edit: I just realized one is saved and the other is current... duh lol.

flashed this kernel couple days ago, its good.
but......sad to say 4 me, i dont see any difference in battery life (running cm9, kernel it came with lasted about 16hours with wifi on and only txting), with this kernel my phones battery life only last about 8-10hours (thats with and without wifi on), trying my phone on 200/1400 and at 55% (unplugged it about 7 1/2hours ago), but my wifi has not been on. (i also saw a very bad drop rate, lost 17% battery life in about hour 1/2(wifi was off and it was just sitting)not sure if its because its set at 200/1400 or something else, and i have no other apps running in the background), im not to worried about it since im trying to buy a new phone soon, so for now im trying to make the best i can out of this phone.
any tips to help increase battery life with this kernel overclock/underclock wise?

Glad to hear it is solid for you!
Have you tried switching to the smartassv2 governor? It is not set as default when the kernel boots (you want a robust kernel when you have to boot into recovery).
