Hello guys.
I search a kernel for my android 4.0.4 stock . What did you propose ?
I wait your anser for a best kernel.
Nexus S : 4.0.4
what you need from kernel? is speed - you need one kernel, if battery life - other, if mods - third...
I use SimpleKernel 1.20, but it has problem with voodoo-colors.
Truthfully there's no best "kernel". It all comes down to what you want from that kernel. So you should try them all and found out the right kernel for you. For example, if you want stability, simple kernel or thamalus kernel is the right one. If you want lots of mods, Air, Matr1x and Glados would be right. If you want pure performance, Trinity would be good for you.

Thx for your reply.
I search battery life, if i can, modify the CPU.
But really stable for android 4.0.4 stock.
I have download Glados Kernel,
He Work perfectly for android 4.0.4.
Another kernel i don't wan't to try it, because is not certified for 4.0.4.
I personally prefer Simple Kernel. It has BLN, which since I've had the phone, is a must have. For some reason, Voodoo Control gave me issues with my mic messing up, even with suggested fixes, so I use the one with just the BLN add on. Experimentation is the best way to find out. Been running Simple Kernel for 3 days with no reboots or FCs.
I use air kernel. On snoop and smartassv2.some reboots during the week but I think it stock 4.0.4 and not kernel related.

Thank a lot for your help.
Hello, I have been doing some reading here as well I sit on IRC on the #skyrocket channel which is pretty quiet these days.
I am using TPC GB rom build with Da_G kernel, and so far (since november 2011) it has been solid.
I have tried alienROM for the ICS leak, but it is missing some kernel features I like, however is a decent ROM. I was wondering if there were any nice ROMs or Kernels for ICS yet, or are well all still waiting for samsung to release an official ICS build so proper kernels can be made. It has been quite awhile and are we even getting an official build for the I727R (Rogers)
I wanted to post here if that is OK because I have not been finding too many answers to what I am looking for. I am in no rush really, but wanted to start thinking about tweeking my phone. Would it be best to play with leaked builds or just wait till some official builds come out then wait and go from there. If anyone has suggestions that would be great.
Thank you for your time and comments.
Hi. All the roms you'll find here are decent and will each appeal to different people and their needs. I've found the latest SkyICS to be excellent in many ways. Try a few different ones to see what you like. Any will be better than stock GB.
As for kernels, there are a few out, but none will have all the features we like about a custom kernel until the official ICS is released because -as far as I know - the code for the kernel hasn't been released yet.
For example, we won't have overclocking until someone can tear into the official released kernel.
I am not a developer, so please, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Without kernel source nothing can be done. No oc, no uv, no bln.

Thanks for the reply, I am on GB (not stock) running rom / kernel (4.3.5) just can't decide on what ICS I want to go with. So I will continue to read away

Yes. He posted that before the t989 source dropped. Cymbaline used fixes from that source. We also have instigatorx kernel for aosp based roms.

I just switch to the shift, wich is a good kernel with good performace and with good battery life?
If you are running sense based rom, try the newsense kernel, dodge, or even the supreme sense rom work well. The difference is set speed and voltage, just use no frills or setcpu. They are listed in the dev section

For aosp we have many. Stock cm is stable. Pershoot is boss. Scary for older aosp.
Shifted from Outer Space
NewSENSE is my favorite sense kernel. It has the full source with the config and everything in it. I'm running it right now on stock rooted. I'm also going to be posting a short "how-to" compile kernels as long as the full source is there it'll work and how to discover what toolchain the developer is used to compile it. This will include how HTC compiles their kernels as well.

First off, here is the github
https://github.com/pio-masaki/at100-kernel.git
Everything I do for this kernel is done there.
Now that's out of the way, here are some highlights:
Beginning of OC code (yes, an OC ICS kernel)
Added a slew of governors for your choosing
Added a couple i/o schedulers
Slight CFLAG tweaking
This is a work in progress!
If you have issues feel free to report, but this is my first ever kernel project, and it may take some time for me to address them!
Dos and Dont's in this thread:
No flaming, please. If someone asks a question thats been asked before, simply remind them and if you would, link the post or thread containing the answer. Replies like "Use search" don't help at all. Saying "Next time, use the search, the information is here" is of course what I would like to see. XDA will be better for this.
No ETAs! I can not, and will not, make any promises on when I can fix, build, or otherwise even think about this kernel, or any rom, period. Asking for ETAs, even politely, will either go unanswered, or reminded of this note.
Issue reporting: I always welcome issue reports, of course, however keep in mind, the point made above is also covering this, I may not have time to address an issue immediatly, though I will try to post back and acknowledge that I have seen the issue, or to ask further questions. Please include as much information as possible, settings for speed, governor, IO, profiles in use for screen off (which I advise against), cpu control app in use, etc. Dmesg would be nice as well, use pastebin, we don't want to see an 8K line post of a log
Changelog:
Experimental V0.1 10-02-12
First "release" for testing. This is internal build 8, and from this point on, will be labeled and numbered as releases, IE if this does ok, next will be Alpha 1, or experimental V0.2, etc.
Added OC code
Experimental V0.2 10-05.12
Second release for testing. Does now include the CODE for voltage control, but is not enabled yet. I didn't enable it to help prevent issues with instabilities from UV being confused with kernel issues. GPU OC is active, 320/400 MHz 2D/3D. Does not play well with ICS, CM10 use only.
Experimental V0.3 10-06-12
Rewrote alot of the upper end speed/voltage/timing code from 1.508 to 1.472, VT, haptic feedback fix? Proved unstable to the point of being unusable. Pulled.
Stable V0.4 10-06-12 "Caspar"
Reverted to V0.1 OC code after the disaster of V0.3. Left out voltage control code, implemented GPU OC as previous in V0.2, VT is enabled, possible haptic fix (not likely). Governors and IO schedulers should remain as before, min/max settings should remain as before. 1.5 is likely still broken.
Experimental V0.5e "Melchoir" 10-18-12 ICS only
All new CPU Speed tables, overall max is lowered from 1.5 which froze to 1.478, and more speeds in between. Those who used the Shiva Kernel will be familiar with the speed range. GPU OC is bumped up 20mhz in 2D/3D. SmartassV2 code added. The kernel has branched since V0.4 and is now a JB and an ICS specific design, one doesn't work for the other anymore, sorry to say. "Melchoir" is the ICS branch kernel, "Balthesaur" is the JB branch kernel which is included in the CM10/Kuroikaze builds.
"Melchoir" V2.4 ICS
Experimental support of CIFS and slight config changes to maybe improve kernel performance. Branch from "Caspar" and includes speeds, governors, IO schedulers and any previous bugs. 1.5Ghz is likely still broken.
"Balthesaur" V2.75 Linaro JB NON OC
Experimental fixes for ExFat corruption issues.
No CPU or GPU OC
Built with Linaro 4.7 toolchain with some optimizing tags turned on
Retains Governors and IO Schedulers from the OC version
Instructions
Download the zip from the link given below
Boot into CWM

Use this in CWM, same as before, to restore the boot.img and modules for Favum ICS, it may work for other Official based ICS, may not, untested.
Notes and Updates
Mirrors added, V0.1 initial release
V0.2: GPU OC 320/400 MHz 2D/3D. Does not play well with ICS, use only with CM10.
Kernel naming and what they mean:
As the kernel development for Jellybean gained momentum, changes to the kernel source and drivers made the kernel no longer compatible with BOTH ICS and JB, so a new branch needed to be built, one for each android version.
Caspar = The trunk kernel, the first base which all other kernels are built from, contains the original OC settings, governors and schedulers, but not much else, pretty stock.
Melchoir = The First branch, this is for ICS only, and is slightly more updated then the JB kernel, but not by far, is pretty stale development wise while I work on the JB kernel.
Balthesaur = The second branch, this is for JB only, and is the more updated and recent and heavily developed kernel by far.
Each kernel release is still compatible with ANY ROM, however it MUST be of the proper android version, Meclchoir should be flashed only to ICS and Balthesaur should only be flashed to JB. Caspar, should you choose to use it, is ICS only as well.
Do not flash these to other android versions, including Honey Comb, they may boot but they will certainly not function correctly.
FAQ
Q: How does this work with any ROM?
A: Installs by taking apart the current boot image, replacing the kernel binary, repacking then reflashing the boot image, and copies the matching modules into your system/lib folder. It keeps the existing ramdisk, which is why it works in between both ICS and JB.
Q: Where did you get your source changes from?
A: Source changes are coming from ezTerry and Godmachine, with guidance from Godmachine. Changes by ezTerry may come from other places, however I can not verify that, and its from his github.
Q: Is this included in any ROM?
A: Yes, this kernel is included with my CM10 builds, including Kuroikaze-Thrive
Thanks go out to:
First off, godmachine / linux society! We've had our spats (rather, I've had mine) however his guidance made this possible.
ezTerry: for giving us the first modded Acer Iconia kernels, also basing some of this work on his work on ezT20 kernel.
Da-pharoah for as always encouraging my work and to try new things.
tybar over at thriveforums.org (he may also be here?) for his work on CM10 and supplying the initial source this began with.
The rest of the guys pitching in over there!
Very excited to see a kernel! Could you possibly post a stock kernel as well that can be flashed back to if needed as this gets refined? Just trying to cover all contingencies.

That depends on the ROM being used so no, I hadn't planned on it. I probably could but its per ROM which is quite a few lol

On jbreezy darkside ROM v2 he modified the ram disk a bit would that interfere with installing this kernel?
Edit: nevermind you said it keeps the existing ram disk
Could you make a revert for his darkside ROM? Sorry for being a pain

Yeah unless something is different with the kernel binary as well, which I doubt, it shouldnt cause a problem.
As far as I know its the first kernel from source for ics so I don't think any issues will come up.
Edit: I'll try to get a revert zip up for dark side as well, the favum won't work, different ramdisk I think.

For the device this forum is for? In other words its for the Toshiba thrive 10" tablet. Flashing this on anything else can lead to no boots or even bricks. Its for any ROM, not device.

God damn goo.im I've been waiting for an oc ics kernel for a minute.. A long minute

Can I flash a kernel for similar phone which has similar buttons and screen resolution and sensors but different board base and hope it works?

Hey guys,
Since im a heavy gamer ( Modern Combat 2/3/4,N.O.V.A 3,NFSMW and some other games ) i decided to take my phone back to stock KQM with root. I previously was on CM10 but the gaming behavior of it is just awful. I didnt managed to play a online round of MC3 to the end. It crashed, or lost Wifi connection every single time.
KQM is way better for gaming. Its almost fluid all the time, but i didnt managed to get it complete fluid. Sometimes there are lags for 10 - 15 seconds, and you know what that means for a FPS Gamer, its horror! And you want to throw your phone against the wall when youre in a 14 kill streak and it lags and you get killed one frag away from a nuke. AHHH. (Still better than CM10 where its around 12FPS all the time).
So im kindly asking someone to build a stock KQM Kernel with the ability for Overclock, and if its possible some shedulers. I think im not the only one who needs this and who would use it all the time.
I would do it myself, but i dont have the hardware for it, my CPU (my pc is from 2006) doesnt support x64 and i cant compile anything on it.
Thank you for your time. :good:
P.S: I know this is dev section, but cmon, who reads the I9000 General?? No one.

Hey XellaR*! Samsung just released the source for 2.3.3,
the Kernel from the first stock rom.
We don't have the source for the "new" 2.3.6 Kernel, that's why we cannot update...

64bit OS is not mandatory. 32bit works as well as long as the toolchain supports it. I wouldn't use a VM on 32bit though.
Regarding the KQM kernel.. I would try to find the OC/UV constants on binary level and patch the kernel directly. One possible way would be to compile two minimalistic kernels with both values (stock <> oc) and compare them. If you get the constants apply them to the KQM binary.
On the other hand... the 3.0 kernel is ready. It should kick any 2.3 kernels ass. Probably not worth the hassle at all...
Edit: You could also try to load the kernel directly into decompilers/disassemblers to find the constants. Maybe that's easier...
Very strange. I experienced gaming problems with ICS but not with JB... Very fluent. I am using slimbean!
