[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

Do you need enough donations to buy an Infuse before you start working on CM7, or are you gonna use some witchcraft to port it over without even having one if people donate some money to you?
If you need an Infuse and everyone starts to donate, I'd jump in to and donate some money. Or if you're able to do it with just donations and no phone, I may donate as well.

I do not ask for money to keep development going....
Donations would go straight to buying a infuse but I might be willing to just go out giving a certain amount of donations and I am not sure because I've never really asked to donate...
just to double check, is BLN working?

I am going to bed, i know h8rift tested it today and bln was working, I'll double check tomorrow...
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?

And it looks like BLN is working for me! I just installed BLN and got a text, and the backlights lit up! Thanks a lot! You are the man!

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.

[Q] How to add BLN to latest ICS Kernel

Hello guys
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to edit the kernels from the ICS available roms and simply add the BLN notifications?
I do not want or need all the other tweaks.
I just want BLN added to this, nothing else.
Thank you
EDIT: IS the OTA ICS kernel source known yet?

No one?

have you seen dev section and see thoes ICS kernel ?

Using NSTools you can simply enable or disable the tweaks you want. At least you can on the GB kernels. I'd assume this the case with the ICS kernels that are available, but I haven't tried out ICS honestly.

Yes but I was looking to implement that on a stock ics kernel. Just BLN, nothing else.

So, there is no one here on the forum that has or knows how to implement BLN in a kernel?!
people only check the android development section...that is sad bud true.

As far as i know BLN does not work with stock kernel neither with NStools nor with any other app.
Stock kernel simply does not support BLN.

People aren't building kernels from thin air,they are using the released source files for the stock ones and tweaking them afterwards. I only want to add bln to those stock releases.

He built an almost stock kernel for GB with BLN, so i'm sure he's already working on it.

Well, technically you could insmod a kernel module in...

that's what I want, to simply add to the ICS kernel source the BLN, nothing else.
I'm just trying to find a way to do it because this is not my area of expertise...
is the source for the latest ICS kernel for nexus S known? for version 3.0.8-gb55e9ac [email protected] #1 ?
tks for all of your tips btw

rooted ICS, but bln ain't working.
the kernel mods aren't there, so as the liblights; the app is not enough.
we have to wait for a modded kernel to use with stock rom.

my problem is that when every kernel is build by some developer, it is released with several mods that I don't want. I simply wan't to pick up the latest ICS kernel source and add the bln libraries and necessary files for it to work. nothing else,nothing less, just that minor tweak.

however no one of these are working with stock OTA ICS 4.0.3 as far as now.
let's see what the future brings..

BLN has been added to the stock cm9 kernel

tks, so this means bln has been added to the latest kernel contained in OTA 4.0.3? or that it can now be added to the kernel? sorry man, I'm reading a lot about all of this, but if anything,I think I'm getting more confused...damn...

No, he was stating that Cyanogenmod has added BLN to their kernel. BLN will most likely never be added to stock android. You will have to download a compatible kernel.

I was bored so here is a kernel that should work for you.
Make sure you Nandroid before install as I'm not responsible for any screwups.
You may have to flash it twice if WiFi doesn't work the first time.
Only tested on i9020t.
I cherry-picked Ezekeel's BLN for this so he deserves credit.

Thank you for your help, I will do a nandroid and flash it. Will give you a feedback soon as I have results.
Btw, This is like stock 4.0.3 ICS but with BLN added? No governors, undervolts and other tweaks, right?
Thanks once again for caring about the subject.

Hello again
Flashed it last night and I believe it is working nicely my friend.thank you very much for helping.
Just for the record, although both, bln app and nstools work, it works better with bln app from the market as it alows enabling bln for missed calls also. With nstools everything was using bln except the missing calls.
Can/should I share your work?

You can but I don't really have any intentions of providing support, hence why I didn't post this in the dev section. It shouldn't need any as it's stock with only bln added so it shouldn't be a problem.

[KERNEL] AT&T Stock-ish 0.3 BLN/USB-OTG/NFS/FUSE/init.d/adb root/boot animation

This is a mostly stock AT&T kernel I've packaged up. Its features include the BLN patch, USB-OTG support and in-kernel NFS and FUSE modules. The ramdisk has been tweaked to support init.d scripts, adb as root and boot animations (on those ROMs that support it - such as my Alien ROM).
I've tried to keep any other changes to a minimum. There is no UV/OC patching, etc as this kernel along with Alien ROM already perform outstanding.
You can grab it here.
Version 0.2 with NLS UTF-8 support is here.
Version 0.3 based on the UCLA3 kernel is here. I recommend you use the UCLA3 modem from here.
If you want to revert to stock AT&T 2.3.6 UCKK1, you can get it here. Thanks to pookieguy for the stock files!

How its battery life...will it work on skyrocketeer?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket

Battery life is the best I've seen. I'm running this on Skyrocketeer with the conservative governor set and the screen off frequency set at 192. Unlike Da_G's higher performance kernel, this one keeps the 2nd core offline until there is a heavy load, greatly increasing my battery life. I still get a 6400 score on CF-bench, while overclocked to 1.78 on Da_G's I get around 7800.

NM i got it.

[KERNEL] Basic MIUI modified

I am starting up my own route of android development working with team acid and AntonX to make sure all the best features work in AOSP roms like MIUI, and in the future AOSP and BML CM7 if we make them . This is a BML kernel so don't flash it if you are running the MTD CM7. It is CWM flashable or you can extract the zImage and flash with heimdall.
This is a branch of AntonX's kernel so UV/OC, voodoo sound, and BLN are all there.
Do not flash this on a stock rom, this includes Valhalla black, AOSP style (no it's not AOSP), or anything that isn't MIUI, Cyanogenmod (BML), or AOSP (if we ever get it ).
Changes to come:
Currently working with initramfs to remove voodoo lagfix, speed up boot time, and add touch recovery.
Credits:
AntonX, this is a branch of his kernel
Team Acid, for putting up with me and their kernel work
Bhundven, for being the best dev ever, his original kernel, new initramfs and all his work fixing CM7, and his always helping me out when I'm in a pinch
m4xm4n and Bhundven for the vibrate fix on CM7 ported to BML

Changelog:
Release one:
Branched from AntonX kernel. Adds vibrate functionality to AOSP

Click to collapse
Release two:
Updated source base to AntonX's 1.1.0 kernel.
Disabled some debugging.
Implements new initramfs for faster boot. (Thanks Bhundven!!)
Should be faster and more stable.
Now comes in OC and non-OC flavors.

[Q] ICS ROM / KERNEL ? Anything official / Information?

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.
