First off, big thanks to Faux123. This is based on his repo with a few tweaks of my own. I'll be adding more as we go on. And of course, he's welcome to pull any patches he likes from my github.
Changes:
Added zram compressed swap support. I'll attach a script to turn it on and one to see what its status is. It's not like the older ramzswap that requires a special tool, everything is done through sysfs now. Very nice.
Added zcache compressed cache. This is a bigger win IMO, it compresses any compressible data in the cache. This means you can keep much more data in cache, which means you have to read it in from slow flash much less often.
Tweaked the low memory killer to take swap space into account, but only some of it.... This prevents swap thrashing while the system tries to kill processes and free up ram/swap. I also suggest using something like AutoKiller to set the levels to the best performance for your workload. We all run different apps and such, and that can affect how these things work for each user. There is no setup that is going to be perfect for 100% of users. Speaking of AutoKiller, I have found the advanced tweaks to help a fair bit as well. Don't use the memory management one, it overides your settings for things like swappyness. And the IO Scheduler doesn't do anything as we aren't using cfq. Unless you turn on cfq...
On Swap and compression:
While badly configured swap can slow things down, it's far more complex than people think. It also frees up RAM that's not being used frequently for apps that are. So your system can more efficiently use the resources it has. While compression does use some CPU time, our dual core 1Ghz+ CPUs can compress/decompress REALLY fast. Far faster than reading from the flash storage. In theory, this can affect battery life, though I haven't seen any significant issues from it.
Q: But we have 512M, that's a LOT!
A: Well, kind of... Not all of it is accessible to the kernel for running apps. 128M for the GPU, some for the cameras, wifi, etc... In the end, a little less than 400M is available. Then you have to add in system overhead from the kernel itself, Android's OS processes, etc.. That is quite limiting, IMO, so using it more efficiently is important to me.
Q: I don't like compression/swap.
A: Then don't run this kernel.

Does this kernel rebuild cache every boot like faux 1.3?

Haptic feedback doesn't work. Faux had the same problem in one of his earlier kernels bbut he fixed it .

Yes. I've poked around, but haven't figured out why. It's certainly nothing I'm intentionally doing. I tried using the same initrd from the Weapon stock kernel, no joy. That's about the only thing the kernel should be able to change that would make a difference.

Data missing
Hey ttabbal, maybe you can help me a little bit with the issue im having with cyanogenmod based roms,
I've been trying to know a bit more bout RILs and ended up learning that it resides at the kernel. My objetive of learning about it is because no matter I do i cant have data conection on any CM7 based ROM but I DO have data on any Froyo / Gingerbread OTA rom, even tryed to change basebands, change sim card, push the apps related to the telephony from GB OTA to Cyanogen and replace Ril Libs also. Nothing had worked. And this is where you can help me a little: while using your kernel I have the exact same issue! No data whatsoever! No matter what ROM I use, in the other hand using Faux's kernel i got no issue, and bec you based yours in his work im sure you know what exactly changed between them and enlight me or make me understang what can I possibly do to fix my issue.
Thanks!
BTW I live in Guatemala CA, using a data plan from CLARO (America Movil) carrier
Look here at the Wikipedia Link to look at the baseband Im using.

I'm happy to share any information I can. Your issue is interesting as I can't think of any changes that should affect the radio. Most of the radio code isn't in the kernel. It's handled by a daemon called rild. We could try reverting some patches. The first thing to try would be to test all the older versions of the kernel. I'll get links posted for you when I get to a computer. If one of those work, we can look at the differences between them to try and narrow it down.

I'm not so sure the kernel is going to affect your issue much. As ttabbal said it lies in the RILD binary. CM7/Miui has known issues with no data connectivity though it seems to happen pretty random. Have you tried doing a hard reboot? (hold power + vol up approximately 10 seconds) On occasion I have the same issue with no data signal (though cell is just fine). Usually a hard reboot (or two) solves the problem though.

Yup, its someting else, i even managed to solve the APN dissapearing issue in other way: install market enabler, change SIM code to anything and ther revert back to defualt an it will show u again your APNs just like if you hard rebooted.
I even tried copying rild (/system/bin) from OTA GB rom to a CM7 rom and flash, and nothing, and why using your rom and faux's kernel i got data and if using ttabbal's one i have none? has to do something with the kernel! but thanks for ur posts anyways I know ur busy guys

Your description sounds like the known cm7 apn bug to me. Installing a kernel usually triggers the bug for me as it involves soft reboots. With dragon, do the data workarounds work? Exactly what ROM are you running?
I think im not leaving things clear, my above post was what I did to fix apn dissapearing when i flashed cm7... and even if i hard rebooted (or used the market enabler trick) and apns where restored still couldnt get data to work...
Im usign whitehawk's rom now, but if i pair it with your kernel, the issue i have is not that apn dissapear (like they did in cm7, bec of the known issue) but that I cant get data to connect.

OK, just making sure. Here are the older versions of the kernel. Try them out and see if any resolve the data issue you are seeing.
1.1: http://goo.gl/e913p
1.0.3: http://goo.gl/7QY0a
1.0.2: http://goo.gl/O6PDb
1.0.1: http://goo.gl/OWkG8
1.0: http://goo.gl/gLeFz
I honestly don't expect them to, but if the only change is the kernel, it seems like it could be related. Could you also attach a file with logs when it's trying to connect? Perhaps also with a log when booting from Faux's kernel when it works right?
adb logcat > log.txt
adb logcat -b radio > radio.txt
I might be able to see something in there...
Just to make sure we're on the same page, by Whitehawkx's rom you mean Weapon 2.4? I just noticed your sig says 2.3... I don't see sigs when I'm on my phone, so I missed that before. Have you tried updating to 2.4? It might help... it might not...

Ok some logs from faux's and yours latest kernels, gonna start trying previous kernels from your links, muchas gracias!
BDW: flashed nightly #124 and still no data for me, i guess its bec im using it outside the states and/or its a SIM unlocked device..
just checking ttabal... did you ever figure out the cache rebuild on every boot thing?

Crashes on OTA
Used for half a day and had two lock ups using GB OTA. G2X would not come out of stand by. I will retry at a later time. It was nice to be able to use annyconnect vpn.
I cannot get the zswap stats script to run properly...it says syntax error (expecting ")") or some ****...what I'm I not understanding with this
Been running the kernel for about a day, both scripts running with script manager, no freezes or issues yet. Been trying to cause problems like I've had with other kernels, and i'm not getting them.

Hey all, there were requests for Wes' Kernel and the 10MB ramhack, so I thought I would try to entertain them. This will change out king's kernel in SenseHybrid 2.3 for Wes' 10MB RamHack kernel. This will also run 32MB of compcache on boot up, Swap partition is still required for A2SD. If you want to run a swap partition, I recommend EXT4 and to use Notepad++ (windows program for editing linux files) to change your /system/bin/user.conf
Now the fun part.
Instructions:
-Wipe everything! (This ONLY works from a fresh install!!!)
-Install King's 2.3 SenseHybrid (Please follow his directions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294
- Flash this update immediately after flashing King's rom (Do NOT reboot before you flash this patch!)
- Reboot and enjoy!
NOTE: PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME TIME TO BOOT AND TO SYNC. ALSO, DO NOT START SWIPING RIGHT AWAY AS THE PROGRAMS TAKE TIME TO LOAD. JUST LET IT SIT FOR A BIT AND BE PATIENT... Then it's pretty quick.
ChangeLog:
Updates user.conf (if you don't like it, change it )
Virtual mem settings adjusted
proc_cpu_en=0 # to save battery life
Updates Kernel to WG RamHack from latest Donut rom
Removes LinuxSwap in exchange for 32MB Compcache
Removes:
Meebo
HeroLED
AKNotepad
teeter
Adds:
Free Advanced Task Manager (Useful)
If you like it, then great! I've been experimenting with using different kernels on different people's roms. I'm new to it, but if anyone has any tips, they are greatly appreciated.
Red. (Testing out FireRat's 30MB ideas next... I just don't have a PHD in "Freakin' Awesome," so it's gonna take some time.)
PS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT BT! IF YOU HAVE READ ANYTHING ON THIS SITE CONCERNING HERO ROMS ON A G1/DREAM THEN YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER AND WOULDN'T RISK BEING FLAMED.

I updated the link in the initial post. Thank you. Other than that, I think there are plenty of good Dev's that are working on the 2.1 field. I am really new to this and do not have anywhere near the experience that they do. This was a request from another post that I had earlier. I like the 1.5 hero because of the almost full functionality (minus BT.) 2.1 is a great platform, but until the drivers are released, it is frustrating. I was beside myself when they were reverse engineered for the Camera app to be enabled. People here work really hard on these roms. In any event, I hope people will make use of this.

Too lazy to sift through all the other changes this patch makes in order to get wg kernel... 2.3 is fast enough
Now that im using this kernel, when ppl call me their name/picture doesnt show up... its as if i dont have their number, when i really do. it even asks me if i want to store their number after the call... so for whatever reason it isnt recognizing my contacts when they call. it does recognize them when i get a text.
Issue?

I didn't have this issue when I ran trials, but I will try to reload. Are you using EXT4 partition? You may also want to try to re-sync your information in Settings/Data Syncronization. Also, I just want to make sure that you installed this patch from a fresh wipe and didn't flash it over the other patches that I made (I noticed you tried the CM ones as well.)
Let me know if either of these work or help.
Red.
yes im using ext4 and yes i flashed it over a fresh wipe. when i make a call, the contact is recognized as it should, its just incoming calls that dont work.
i just resynced contacts and that didnt make a difference for me.
side question: ive seen it mentioned in other threads that you should wipe davlik cache, battery stats, and rotate settings in addition to the factory reset wipe and repartitioning. how do you wipe those first 3?

Hello New Thread.
I kinda figured you fell asleep last night Kolohe. I will check your beta when I get home from work later today and put up the mirror. I am going to keep your old ROMs up there too
got a question.
Did a total wipe and when it booted up first time, I got a low space warning. Apparently a whole bunch of my apps that were on SDcard came back as installed. And because on first boot, apps2sd isn't on yet, it tried to put them on internal (I had about +/- 80 apps come back from my 139 total)
So I backed out, rewiped data, dalvik, and ext, and reflashed rom. It boot up fine again, but once again, it immediately installed 7 of the apps (replica island, docs to go, pobs... just to name a few). So I moved them to sd card and all is fine.
The question is:
1. Is this normal? I've never had this happen before CM5 based ROMs. I haven't tried any other Eclair roms except the CM5 based ones and I wasn't sure if this is a behavior that's normal for 2.1 roms.
2. Why only some of the apps come back? Isn't wiping ext supposed to clear it all out or am I mistaken?
Just wanted to let you know, there seems to be a problem with using Backup for Root users. It will break any apps allready installed and fix_permissions or Repair ext will not help, I have found this to be true on all CY5 based roms.
EDIT:Restoring SMS,Call log and even Market DB seems to work fine after running Fix_permissions, Restoring APPS Does Nothing.(No APPS Restored) It Was trying use the Dusted-donuts hack that caused the apps to be Broken.
EDIT:::: The problem WITH APPS NOT WORKING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ME TRYING TO USE THE JIT HACK "DUSTED-DONUTS" LIKE I DID WITH 4.1. I believe the JIT Flash Update for Cy5 will work though.
EDIT: JIT-HACK It does work.http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=245 this is what i used.
Thanks again for a great rom!
This thing Flies!
I'm using the Jit-Hack And AnyKernel OC Patch,changed swappiness to 95 in 86supersettings,and cpu refresh to 1000000(kills batt),and Cpu Min/Max to 122800/716000. Still using SetCPU for Sleep/failsafe Profile.
EDIT2: I just noticed that at the initial google sign in screen you can press menu and in addition to the normal Wireless settings option there is now an option to disable auto restore!( I know you probably already knew that and it has been mentioned a hundred times!)
well gonna give this a try let u know soon for any bugs
To confirm this is JACP?
Watching logcat I saw that debugger daemon is enabled. I/Debug.
and is this based on CE-5.0 t2? or are patches for T3 in place?
quick question:
If I extracted the boot img from this rom and flashed it with my currently installed CM 5.0.7 test 3 would it still have the same speed boost, optimization, and cache clearing settings?
Not that I don't want to flash this rom itself, but I was just wondering if I could also try out the features with another.
Will fix the apparently problem but that might be caused by thenew boot script that wipes the dalvik cache. .. will be working on that later today

Also as a side note, I think apps2sd must be enabled by default,or get rid of the auto app restore thing. I think it is going to confuse people and clutter up the threads.

Hey everyone,
I started doing daily builds from the CM 7 source code just for myself but then people asked me to share them so I figured I would post them and share them with you crackflashers out there so you have something to flash as you wait for the official nightly
This is UNOFFICIAL and is NOT supported by CyanogenMod. DO NOT SUBMIT BUG REPORTS FOR THESE BUILDS TO CYANOGEN MOD.
This is kanged straight from the Cm 7 source. It has not been changed or modified in any way, just compiled. I will try to update the 2nd post everyday around 2 or 3pm EST with a fresh link
Same installation instructions that apply to the nightlies go for these builds as well so I'll quote the text from Chris Soyars' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058131
"Important!
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
NVFlash for Linux
NVFlash for Windows
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.
Instructions
Download from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999 and flash like you would any other ROM (via recovery or ROM Manager).
Be sure to backup before flashing, and of course a wipe is necessary when coming from stock.
Gapps are available from the usual places, however do not download the version that says it is for Tegra, even though this is a tegra device, as it will not flash.

ChrisSoyars Edit:
After skimming some of the posts in this thread, here are some things that you can expect.
What to expect
- Everything working including Wifi, GPS, Audio, Camera, Front Facing Camera
- Screen off animation is not enabled, therefore it isn't broken.
- Occasional audio problems (as far as I know they have not been fixed). If audio does not play just reboot.
- Automagical brightness weridness, this is controlled by the kernel and not userspace, even having it working is very hacky."
Again this is NOT supported by cyanogen in ANY WAY. Flash at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you brick your device. ALWAYS BACK UP BEFORE FLASHING. I wont be fixing anything in these builds or changing anything, I'll leave that to the cyanogen crew to do So if you have issues or bugs no sense in reporting them as I'm sure they will be addressed in future official CM 7 builds

Alot of ppl that are kanging g2x cm7 have the date and time as part of the file name, then when we put it on the sd card we don't get confused if we have multiple updates from diff ppl, in the same folder. just a friendly suggestion. and would help ppl out.
Oh and i did try this kang out it is getting better and better, but still some minor things that make it a non-daily driver for me, but they are small and will hopefully get resolved in the near future....but man I love CM7 on this phone!

Flashed it over nightly3, it booted Seems to be running fine, no problems encountered so far. Thanks!
well, I seem to be having the same problems I had with the nightlys. The apns delete themselves therefore removing my data connection. I have tried rebooting several times etc. I re-add the apn settings and they won't save. I can only connect to data with wifi. Idk what the deal is.

I just went out and got a new simcard and sdcard because of this and the connection is faster, as well as the apns only deleting a handfull of times. A battery pull always brings them back.

I always had that happen on all the CM7 versions I tried. I had to go in and select the network manually to AT&T and then after it failed to register on the network I selected Automatic. Then the APNs would come back and I could get online. I don't know why this works but restarting never fixed it for me, it only caused the APNs to go away.

Only chat is working at the moment.
Now I have a question:
Is this the same as the one fitsnugly shares in his twitter? Or just the same compile made by two different people?
About the gtalk video, I have found a link in twitter for latest gapps that lets you do video in gtalk. *untested by me*
latest gapps can be downloaded here gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip

nope, not the same as mine. i also add unfinished/unmerged mods from gerrit for testing in my builds.
Thread closed because I no longer own this device. The download links no longer work. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Works on the stock system and everything? If you made the stock Triumph experience that much better, Virgin Mobile owes you a debt of gratitude. Heck, I owe you a debt of gratitude!
...just let me make sure it works on my phone first.

Yeah it should work. You just need to be rooted and have CWM to flash it. Other than that the stock kernel will run the install-recovery.sh script at boot, which will intern run my tweak scripts at boot and viola you have a tweaked out stock phone. In therory it should work with any stock based(no cm7/aosp) rom and kernel as long as the kernel hasn't been modified to not run intsall-recovery.sh at boot!
Yes it works on Stock, and it seems to be running faster, and smoother. Also my compass is now correct, and GPS seems to lock faster 5-8ish seeconds
Thanks! Rated 5.
Thanks! This will be the set of tweaks that my bROM will contain plus me and my brother are trying to get a kernel going. Hopefully we will have the oc up to 1900 maybe more plus were trying to get controllable undervolting for each frequency. There are alot of stuff were going to try to add to it if we can ever get it working. But its still a while down the road!

What did you change? I locked onto GPS in 2s, whereas my 2nd to last one took 256s, and the last attempt wouldn't lock at all.
yesterday my phone reported it was off the coast of Africa. I'm suing
In all serious though, have you increased the speed the system accesses the SD card? I want to know because I'm running SD Speed Increase and FasterFix, and if your mod fixes both I'll just trash them.

Just the config file for GPS. I found some various fixes. Yeah mine does that as well sometimes. I may look and see if I can fix that!
Yes the SD card read ahead as well ad entire mmc read ahead for the whole system is increased. Partitions are mounted as noatime, nodiratime.

Yeah you can flash this over the stock ROM. This leaves whatever kernel you have intact so if you got the stock kernel it will leave it. But yeah this is pretty universal!

How does this compare to the advanced system tweaks that are a part of Autokiller Memory Optimizer? A few of which might overlap with what you have done.

Well I couldn't ever get the noatime tweaks of autokiller to actually work. And my tcp tweaks increase the tcp buffer window even more than autokillers. And autokillers I/o tweaks only work on the cfq scheduler and none of our kernels use cfq. We have noop anticioatory and deadline. The others I'm not to sure about!

Hello FB, will you help me.
I'm not sure which of these kernels is stable, except the v0.0.2d with CWM3.
From your post:
sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc2.zip
From bhundven post:

Besides the /system unmount issue, what is the advantage of CWM5 vs CWM3?
Thank you
Fb's latest kernel is the most stable kernel as off now.
i would say go for fb's kernel
fb modified or i should say upgraded bhudven kernel...
and it got team acid splash screen which is a very nice touch

I got 66 hours with no reboots on RC2.
The main differences between CWM 3 and 5 are that CWM 5 doesn't have trouble making and restoring backups (made in CWM 5), the ability to have ADB in recovery and the option to reboot to download.
Additionally, it has most of the changes made after Dec 7, 2011:

Thank you JMW and FB.
Is this the normal message state?
CWM-based VooDoo LagFix Recovery v5.0.2.7
Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled
......................next boot: enabled
Option:
/system lagfix conversion: yes
...................debug mode: no
I show this from a terminal session:
/system ext4 rw,
/cache ext4 rw
/data ext4 rw
I tried to disable VooDoo but it does not disable, do I need to start with VooDoo disabled from version 0.0.2d?
I went back to v0.0.2d and disabled VooDoo, then flashed v0.1.1 rc2. The conversion took place per the voice. But it still shows that it is disabled as above.
Bark, read the OP under Features
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513287
The RC2 version of the kernel forces you onto ext4 (lagfix) since there's no real reason why you should stay on RFS (lagfix disabled).
Not sure why that was confusing to me, but I really appreciate your quick response. Thank you for straightening me out!
Whoops! I heard my phone rebooting as it sat on the table. I guess I'll go back to v0.0.2d.
I'm running stock GB with AS 14.1 and Tegrak UV/OC to 1.2.
I have been running this kernel without any problems whatsoever.
I would check your UV/OC values to see if that is causing the reboot.

Hello JN,
I'm going to chose oc/uv over the latest version of this kernel. I checked my settings and they are as suggested. I guess if the v0.0.2d kernel can tolerate my OC/UV settings and not reboot then I would deem it a tad more stable.
Since I can use the CWM5 version at will, I will use it to do backups. But I will use the v0.0.2d version daily as the OC'ing does make this device snappier. I don't understand the "ADB in recovery" part of the explanation, got to do some reading.
Do you overclock your phone, I would be interested in the setting you use.
Thanks!
my phone rebooted once after flashing the latest kernel.

Hello JMW,
That is interesting. I wonder if after some time the kernel adjusts something and then calls for a reboot.
I will go back and run the latest again and then give it some time based upon your input.
Thank you.
Common causes for phone to reboot is the voltage governor is too low or just something wrong with it
just for the record Bhudven and Fb nailed the values ;-)

The voltage/cpuspeed 's have not changed between v0.0.2d and latest.
The thing is, I only know of a few people that have any problems and no one has given me or fb any kind of logs to prove there is a problem.
No logs, nothing to fix.

The values have always been nailed. The have not changed.
The only problems I have with this kernel is going from BML (fsr/rfs/ext4) to MTD then back to BML.
I try using heimdall and odin and the only way for me to revert back to bml is using the 'eraseall' command at the sbl prompt (which isn't easy to get to if you don't have the right tools or know what your doing) then one-click with bootloaders. Something wrong with the erase-block-size/page-size with mtd vs. bml. idk, still trying to figure that one out.
too bad i cannot provide logs.
as far as observe it always reboot once after i install the latest from fb....
note: before reboot, laggy
but all runs great after that reboot
i dunno why this happens but I think it a great thing
i just wanna make people aware of it.
damn this kernel diving must be mind boggling thats why I will stick to theme

Thank you for your work, but can you please address why the kernels you released since you disabled Deep Idle and DMA Engines have random reboot issues. Many many people who have reverted back to the 2d kernel no longer have these issues.
I'm fairly sure it's because of init.d scripts messing with the CPU settings and other kernel settings.
I'm going to write a "stability" build of RC2 that just backs up your init.d on boot and wipes the directory. Bet you'll get rid of your reboots until you start messing with Tegrak and OC/UC/UV settings.

I am so willing to submit logs, if I only knew how. I have read thousands of posts on this site and have learned a ton about my phone and how to upgrade it. But try as I may and I have tried, I cannot find a good reference document on collecting logs. I heard some people say I will run a logcat and I have downloaded log collector from the market.
I used to work in the field service arena and it was common that our customers would collect error data for us to use to find their problems, but they would always collect the wrong things until we gave them a list of what we needed and how to collect it. So I am sure that it is my noob searching that has made it difficult for me to throw a lasso around this issue, but if someone would direct me to a thread or give instructions I am sure it would help me and I think maybe some others too.
I would also like to thank the devs that replied in this thread. I'm sure there are better things to do then reply again to the reboot issues some are experiencing. I truly appreciate your time, offerings and effort.
Thx

I have no init scripts, no init.d directory, & do not oc/UV. I have the reboot issue. Bryan looked @ a logcat I took a while back but it held no clues. I'll see if I can find the time to install a kernel past 2d and troubleshoot.
