[ROM][ODIN][RFS/EXT4][Journal On/Off][NOCIQ] EC05Plus - Epic 4G Android Development

Based on the Official EC05 Samsprint Tar provided by k0nane
EC05Plus 2.0 Has Been Indefinately delayed.. if I get time, I will finish it off and release it. In the mean time here is links to 1.1 courtesy of Firon. Please find a post by him and thank him.
http://firon.net/xda/StockEC05NOCIQ-EXT4.tar.md5
http://firon.net/xda/StockEC05NOCIQ.tar.md5
ROM was delayed due to a kernel bug, then my remote build box was down, so I took the time, and added a few more features... I have the kernel fixed and pushing this to a few people to test should be done by tomorrow...
New Version is uploading. 2 flavors. A user configurable zip installer, that requires the zip files and an EC05Plus.cfg file. The cfg file dictates to the installer how you would like your install to go, and it looks like this:
EC05Plus.cfg
Code:
#### Backup Data Partition User Apps and Data
EC05Plus.backup = yes
#### This option sets how we will format on install the options are as follows
#### RFS (RFS Across all partitions)
#### EXT4Data (only the data partition is journaled)
#### EXT4Journal (Journaling across all partitions)
#### EXT4NoJournal(No journaling on any partitions)
EC05Plus.formattype = EXT4Data
#### Set keytimer delay via mkasicks patch
EC05Plus.keytimer = 3
#### Built-in ADBlocking
EC05Plus.adblock = yes
The second one is a prerooted RFS ODIN tar. There isn't an EXT4 version this time, but I am providing the zip file for conversion. Also the zip file for No journal should you wish to go that route.
Both versions have the same features, my new kernel, and ClockworkMOD 3.1.0.1 from DRockstar and koush
As always, my aim is a snappy stable rom. Its smooth, and as far as I know nothing is broken, but of course until you try it I don't know for sure.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.. This is pretty much EXACTLY what I been looking for.. a stock rom with noCIQ and the TWS fix.. I cant wait to get off work and ODIN this..
I will report back on how it works out for me...

Nice!!! i might take the rfs one and put it on my sisters phone with dreams pink theme, she will be happy!!
Great work will hit thanks when im on a computer with that button.

That EXT4 one looks sweet

This is something I've been hoping someone would create! For those of us that are Mac users, anyone care to take the files and whip up a flashable zip?

Thx. Bro.

Heimdall does not work on the Mac for the Epic 4G. It only works for SGS devices that have a certain updated SBL (implemented by Samsung in most of the SGS official froyo tarballs). Unfortunately, the Epic 4G does not yet have this magical SBL .
Thanks again!

Yay! Thanks for this!
Just to make sure I'm clear: this doesn't have any OC or UV in the kernel by default, right? (Both OC and UV make my phone cry.)

Stock kernel, only changed the initramfs.. to load ext4 modules, disable ciq and enable init.d support. I didn't recompile the actual kernel, or I would have actually built ext4 support in instead of modules, and I would have added the keyboard fix...

Will the keyboard fix work with this?

Read my post right above yours.. the keyboard fix will only work if you flash a kernel that has it compiled in it... Drockstars clean kernel is a good option..

edit: nvm, should have read all the posts first, my question was answered

May be a silly question but does the ext4 version have journaling on by default or will we have to back up and restore to turn it on. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

By default they are both rfs... going into recovery is what converts the cwm3 version to ext4, which is journaling on..

If not, how do we make it work on EXT4?
Thanks Dameon... I can't imagine why we still want to support RFS,since you were the big backer of EXT4 in the beggining,and we have all proved it safe. Just want to see the kernel as clean as possible... And I can't wait to see you put out an OC/UV kernel.

Didn't work for me. Shows the stock "Android" logo flashing over the boot animation and then the phone freezes and keeps soft-resetting. Followed the directions to a T, guess it just doesn't like me.

no use the one click root from the link i provided. it will install cwm 3 once you reboot and convert everything to ext4 automatically. then all you do is flas the kernel.

The new OTB, shoudl be version 1.1b doesn't include a recovery in it, Now I did flash the one that had CWM3 in it from CWM2.5 and I didn't have any issues with it.

you need to download the respective apps from market just search for "voltage control" and "bln"... I've never used bln cuz I use noled but voltage control is really cool. Just don't choose to save as boot settings unless you are 1000% sure it's stable. The fascinate thread has a few posts with voltages to look at. My phone flakes out at anything over 1200mhz and will not even run 14-1600mhz without having to pull battery.

Mine will run 1300 no problem. Over that is gets iffy.

Just FYI - CWM3 would not be capable of flashing any of our flash packages as is, there is a script file located within META-INF in every flashable.zip that tells recovery how to apply the update files, since CWM3 uses edify vs. ammend scripting, our current one's are not compatible.
Phidelt has started converting the scripts (there would be 3, one for ROM flashing, Kernel flashing and Theme flashing.) However until CWM3 is used more (most people are still using the old scripts) we want to steer clear of CWM3. If you wanted that kernel (before the update which removed CWM3) you can use the SGS kernel flasher available from the market, to flash just the kernel from the .zip (it automatically picks it out)
If you do have CWM3, and want to flash something, you'll need to hop in IRC and ask around for the converted scripts - last I heard we had one complete (for ROM's) but I'm sure it wouldn't take long to get the other two converted if need be. Otherwise you'll need to revert back to the old CWM recovery.

[KERNEL] Bali v3.3 [EXT4 Voodoo Lagfix] * Team Whiskey [7/8/2011]

This kernel is based on the original Bali Kernel for Vibrant 3G. I'm not into OC/UV and will try to keep this as close to stock as possible but with balanced performance and good battery life.
- BLN (download BLN app from market to enable it)
- Built in voodoo "red" cwm [3.0]
- Voodoo lagfix [3.0]
- Voodoo sound v9 (download voodoo app or voodoo plus from market)
- Adjusted HZ value to improve smoothness
- no FPS cap
- TinyRCU for better speed and efficiency
- lowmemorykiller patch for compatibility with Tiny RCU
- ext4 patch
- jhash3 for smoothness and responsiveness
- BFQ I/O scheduler to improve I/O throughput
- TUN (VPN support) [1.1]
- CIFS (Samba support) [1.1]
- Added UV version, -25UV across all freq [UV version only]
NOTE: this kernel will work with any 2.2.x based ROM. Also if your screen flickers ... please let me know and I'll release the capped version.
If you still have BLN issue, install a fix by chadster214. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13832654&postcount=25) .. Thanks Chadster214
Special Thanks:
grendel905 and ttabbal - for pointing me to the right direction
supercurio - for wonderful work on voodoo
neldar - for Back Light Notification
Paul McKenny - TinyRCU
hardcore - for ideas on kernel tweaks and efficiencies
jdiddyub - for awesome boot logo image
chadster214, golmar88, PaintsRebellion for testing voodoo kernel
And everybody at Team Whiskey .. you guys are awesome.
DISCLAIMER:
As always, I'm not responsible with any damage cause to your phone.
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
1. Upload kernel to your sdcard
2. Reboot to CWM
3. Flash the kernel using CWM
VOODOO INSTALLATION
1. Follow the above instruction to flash the kernel, then reboot your phone.
2. First boot will auto convert your /data, /cache, and /system from RFS filesystem to EXT4. You will hear female voice (linda) during conversion process.
3. Once your phone is boot up, check using voodoo control app or 'adb shell mount' command .. to make sure all three partition (/data,/cache,and /system) are using ext4.
4. You can manage voodoo lagfix from either CWM or Voodoo Control App.
NOTE FOR KD1 based ROM users:
There is a possibility your /system partition doesn't get converted to ext4 due to dirty /system partition from the original KD1 stock ROM. If this happen, please follow the instruction below:
- Download rfs_format.zip and upload it to your /sdcard
- Reboot to recovery
- Do full backup
- Flash rfs_format.zip
- Do full restore
- Reboot
- Voodoo will do its conversion process again on boot
CURRENT BUGS:
NONE .. everything should be functional

[Kernel]Defuse Kernel v1.4 - Voodoo Sound/Lagfix (Updated 06-20-2011)

Hi everyone, this kernel aims to be fast and stable and have good battery life. It should be what the infuse comes with.
Latest features:
- Compiled using codesourcery 2009 (will be updated to 2010 which brings optimizations and speed)
This kernel has/is:
- Works on all voodoo enabled roms
- Currently not included neldar's BackLightNotification 2.3
- Includes supercurio's Voodoo Sound v9
- Includes jhash3 function for performance and reliability
- Adjusted kernel HZ value to improve smoothness
- Properly working TinyRCU for better speed and efficiency
- Patched lowmemorykiller for compatibility with TinyRCU
- Modified Initramfs for performance
- BFQ is the default i/o scheduler (other i/o schedulers will be tested as time goes by)
If your keeping up with h8rift's rom Refuse(1.4 and up) then your using my kernel
Everyone else, the zip is for flashing via cwm and the tar is to flash via odin.
Note: I do own a infuse as of 06/17 but if you'd like to donate because of
my work, feel free to do so and thanks
SOURCE is UPDATED:
https://github.com/razor950/Defuse-Kernel
Changelog
V1.0
- Implemented tinyrcu and lowmemkiller
- Implemented neldar's BackLightNotification 2.3
- Kernel HZ is at 500
V1.1
- fixed video memory bug (this fixed ffc / video decoding)
V1.2
- implemented supercurio's voodoo sound
- added jhash3 function for speed and better reliability
v1.3
- fixed BLN issues, it can be turned off now within the bln controls
v1.4
- added ext4 patchset (LinuxBozo)
- implemented BFQ I/O scheduler and set it as default (LinuxBozo)
- minor compiler flags for optimization (still need to add to this)
- modified initramfs tweaked for performance (LinuxBozo)
- BLN is off for now due to it being too random with bugs (no eta when it'll be back)
Nice. This is beginning to look like a Sammy forum.
*edit: Feel free to take this post if you want.

it won't be a completely noticeable difference yet until more changes but BLN is nice (I'll check why its not working)
Only thing I can suggest is try latest refuse 1.4 rom and let me know if BLN works then.
Can't tell if I got it but benchmark is stuck at video decoding and won't move? Can someone tell me how to see if it flashed ok?

I also got stuck at Video Decoding in the benchmark. Outside of that everything seems to be working fine so far.
Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the front facing camera is broken again. I was on the newest Infused rom and it worked there, but after flashing this kernel it doesn't work anymore. My phone froze after I tried taking a picture.

[KERNEL][MTD][EI22]EpicMTD-TWKernel-v1.0[GPL]

EpicMTD-TWKernel-v1.0​
Since there aren't a lot of different kernels available yet for running TouchWiz(TW) roms on MTD, and I've been rather bored while on winter break from college, I decided to put together a basic kernel that is as close to stock as possible while still supporting MTD. This will make a great base for other developers to start off of (I've been doing some work of my own based off of this, but its not ready to be released yet).
This is forked from Rodderik's github, and most of the changes for MTD where cherry-picked from Tortel's github. I got init.d working, modified the kernel build script, and wrote scripts to build the boot.img from the zImage (kernel and first stage initramfs), second stage initramfs, and recovery. I also disabled as many debugging options as possible in the kernel to decrease its memory use and increase its performance. A few other unused kernel features were disabled, and all tweaks and unnecessary parts have been removed from the init.rc file. The tweaks were removed since they can all be done from init.d scripts, and had the potential to interfere with tweaks done in init.d scripts.
This probably isn't the best [fastest] for a day to day kernel, but it does perform surprisingly well, and I have been getting some great data speeds. Been using it for a few days with no crashes.
Features:
MTD Boot
TW Support
Kernel debugging disabled
Kexec (untested)
Schedule autogroup patches
No CIQ
Size of initramfs reduced
Initramfs and Recovery use modules compiled in tree with the kernel (might help stability)
Clockwork recovery 5

Info for developers:
If you want to build this kernel from source, I recommend using arm-eabi-4.4.3 or arm-eabi-4.4.0 from the android source repo. (Thanks earthbound for the info!) Both of them seem to work fine with the current source. The code sourcery toolchain works, but it prevents the soft key light from turning off while the screen is on.

Awesome, the more MTD kernels the better! Btw, I'm tracking MTD ROMs and kernels here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405547
And away we go....

Say thanks if you agree the a dual boot kernel for cyanogen mod 7 and touch wiz based roms would be a good idea. Especially for those of us who miss their 4g connection.

I agree that it is a good idea although I NEVER use my 4G lol, it would definitely increase options and more availability to mtd roms, CyanogenMod and MIUI are the only roms I know of that aren't TW so by allowing us to have mtd with TW it would be loads better. and it would also still allow us to switch back and forth I say, bring on the dualboot mtd/tw kernel!
Most of the touch wiz based roms are converting to mtd.

hey zman, I think the permissions you set on gpsd in your init.rc breaks gps.
Code:
chmod 0777 /system/vendor/bin/gpsd
Using your initramfs in my kernel, GPS was broken and logcat showed permission denied errors in relation to GPS. After switching the permissions to 0755 in my kernel, gps started to work again.

Earthbound kernel and this kernel have kexec (or however you spell it) support... = dual boot compatible...
