Hello all. Im currently working on an OC tweak for our beloved SGS4G; however, I need a driver made from the kernel. I have researched this a bit, but have found that is far beyond my current capabilities of building such a thing. So, I am asking if there is anyone out there that would be willing to help me with this project?
i would say bhundven since he is a kernel dev and he is experienced.. but as far as i know he is very busy at the moment.
but i guess you can give it a shot
I know he is really busy and didn't want to bother him, but it looks like he may be my only option as the other 2 peeps I know that can do this have dropped off the grid for a little while.

I'd wait for him to implement it to his kernel. It's in his list of things he'll add.
I didn't see that in his list of todo's... but that would be great because we could just use scripts to modify it...
However, i'm trying to figure out how to write a universal script for all kernels... I have a good idea on how to do it, just won't have much of a chance to work on it in the next couple of weeks...

There is a c file in the kernel with all the voltage, clockspeed, and other modifiers, that... again as I said before, I could modify but it would decrease the stability of the kernel, and that doesn't help when you're already trying to debug other problems.
The path you are on for a universal oc/uv script is what tegrek is. Except they have custom kernel modules.
Wait for oc. You will be happy.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
tegrek is one of the major reasons you dont see a oc kernel for the sgs4g its highly customizable you dont have to worry bout the op updateing the kernel you can undervolt overclock etc... Oc kernels are great for phones where this app does not work so well.

heavy games from gameloft where used as test base
All ROMS and Kernel work differently on every phone ... some people have problems running Trinity and some people have problems running Ma1trix(I hope i spelt it correctly) anyways i don't mean to offend any of the devs but it depends on phone to phone
My Nexus runs smoothly with Nscollab .41 with TrinityEUV kernel (0.88 GHz) =]
Also Bugless Pete's GPA17 with the stock kernel which is btw Pete's own =]
and finally MIUI with TrinityUV android flavored kernel (1.0 Ghz) =]
to find out which one works best on your device you have to install and check them yourself
Hope i helped
There are no "problems" with Matr1x.
You just need to tweak the voltages and find something that works for you....
As a fresh NS user, I wanted something similar to stock + added notification bar toggle + kernel with BLN & Voodoo sound. Found this combo with TSM Pool party 1.3 ROM, which is based on Pete's work and his kernel. Works excellent:]
CM7 RC1 + T144 or TEUV if I feel like saving battery

Very true, I initially thought my phone doesnt work with matrix, Then i figured how to undervolt my phone and change profiles in set CPU, Now phone works great with matrix.
Really like TEUV though, but found it lagging a bit in high graphics games,.
Yeah Haha, have you tried version 7.5?

Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Sorry to jump in on this thread as well, but could you give us some info on how you would undervolt a kernel?
I have setcpu installed, is that enough? Is it possible to break my phone?

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.
Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions
Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.

I do applaud your efforts but I just have a feeling a lot... lot of people are going to be asking and whining for help.
If it's a legit problem I'll help, but people won't even Google "what is a script, android" to save their lives.
Lol yea I figured that but I'm home for a few days and I'm pretty patient. Hopefully they just follow the directions and all will be well

Oh you should maybe put that you do have to tell script manager to auto start the script that is put in to system/etc/init.d called 99supercharger.
I have to for cm7 and MIUI. Pretty sure everyone does.
To prove it stuck or not just reboot your phone, then run the install script. After it loads it'll tell you your current values and if it's working or not.

You must create the supercharger99 script and have it run on boot or the settings wont stick.
I noticed a bit of a change in speeds worth checking out
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Just to add that the script will auto run on weapon. No need to make script manager auto run anything .
Glad everyone is having success with this now

This and Phoenix Blood don't leave me anxious waiting for ICS to come out. This phone is lightning fast right now, has great battery life, and looks great.
I totally agree. Stock has absolutely no more lag, not even slight stuttering anymore.
Love weapon now even more.

I lovethis script! its makingahuge differnce in my enjoyment of the phone. One question I have though: when I get to the end ofthe script it leaves me at ascreen with options 1-31. I know that I did only a cursory search, but anyone know where I can get a description ofeach of those options? Thanks
Thanks for sharing this. I have noticed better performance speed-wise. Applied the script to cm7

Nobody can tell you which Kernel will work best for whatever ROM you wish to use it for because even though we have the 'same' phone, they are not all equally built. What may work with amazing battery life and performance to one person, might be terribly sluggish with terrible battery life for the next person. The only real way to tell which ROM+Kernel combo works best for your phone is to try every Kernel you think your phone 'likes'. Whether we all want to admit it or not, that is probably the best way.
Hope this helped, Good luck!

Are there any kernels that work with CM7.2 RC1 that both allow for OC/(UV) and don't completely break the accellerometer?
I have tried Trinity and Faux. I would really like to get back to ridiculous battery life from this extended battery pack.

Trinity Kernels
I recently installed the Trinity Kernel and I don't really feel like I see a difference in my phone. I feel like my battery has shown no improvement. I installed the ti5 one but maybe I'll try the ELP one instead to see if I get anything different. I'm really looking for longer battery life. I used the phone theses days for about 30min of music a day (subway ride) and browsing here and there. Turned all syncing and app notifications off.
Check out the attached photos. I've seen screenshots of people with bar graphs showing their device at the top way ahead of everyone else.
Okay, now I built a kernel and shared it, people are asking me to add things.
First up, should I add BLD?
Vote above!
Build it to your standards once done than you can start adding stuff that users may ask and see how it rides out
Agreed. Stability is top priority then start adding little features. I use BLD on Matr1x V22 bfs but I could live without it. I am going to try yours out soon since V1 is out. Congrats.

I do feel a little bit like if hundreds of people are downloading it, then it's become something more than a personal project.... But then, maybe people are intrested by something a little more stripped out?

That's true. It's out there and a lot of people are going to try it. If something is highly requested than you should consider it. This is young still but it is already growing beyond your personal kernel project. Thalamus and others don't always add things just because people like it. Stay true to what you want... Marmite and all

This poll feels like a loaded question...
Actually I find bld one of the more useful features, but I don't know how much extra work it is and how it affects stability. I remember Franco being opposed to it on stability grounds.

Oh yeah, i remember that too. Bld isn't much work to add though. But i want to keep non critical mods to a minimum.
I'd say it'll never end. You'll add BLD, then someone would want this, after some bickering you'll add it and soon as you'll notice, your kernel is going to be bloated same as the others :]
I actually run 0.6, would flash 0.7 or newer if I oc'd or ever used other governors then ondemand , but it's running so perfectly and smooth as CM9 kernel never did + it has MTP, so I don't want to ruin that experience.
Stability comes first & If BLD affects performance por stability-then No..(I dunno about BLD has some side-effects)
You are an expert, Just stick ur principle..
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
These are my two cents:
Most installed ROMs are either AOKP, CM9, RASCREAM.
AOKP offers softkey navigation bar ala Galaxy nexus. Some peeps may like it and therefore may want BLD to cancel off the default nav buttons on our nexus S.
I use a variation of AOKP and turned to morfic kernel because of bld, I personally don't use the softkey mod on the ROM but I use BLD to reduce to only half a second for my nav buttons lights to stay on and use LMT launcher to access my menus (this app is pretty handy since it overlays on the side of your phones making your thumb more efficient and fast).... If you have not heard of this app it is here on xda.
That's basically my main use for BLD and the fact I'm actually saving a little more battery. Imagine the fact I'm browsing the web, reading articles and whatnot for two hours straight (I have) the fact I can disable the lights with BLD may indeed save some more juice to our batteries.

Stick with stability, like others have said. You could always do what TerryHau did with his kernel. Have one with some features and the other with those features and a few others added on. Either way, it's your work, dude. Do what you wanna do!
Bedalus question for you: is bld something that can make a kernel instable?
Others have it and they work just fine.

Well Franco said it made things unstable, but i don't think it would with my kernel. It might have been incompatible with some of Franco's tweaks.
