CPU GOVERNORS SUPPORTED
1) Ondemand:
Default governor in almost all stock kernels. One main goal of the ondemand governor is to switch to max frequency as soon as there is a CPU activity detected to ensure the responsiveness of the system.
2) Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery. The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor. It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization. However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually. Simply put, this governor increases the frequency step by step on CPU load and jumps to lowest frequency on CPU idle
3) Interactive:
Can be considered a faster ondemand. So more snappier, less battery. Interactive is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads. Instead of sampling at every interval like ondemand, it determines how to scale up when CPU comes out of idle
Features
1) CPU Governors Optimized for better battery saving
2) Enabled dimmer blacklight to save battery
3) faster internet speed
4) Fstrim data,cache,system included
5) Completely Stop and Disable performance daemon at boot
6) Killed GAPPS processes that drains battery

Frequently Asked Questions
For NOOBS
Q) How to flash the kernel
A) Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.
Q) Will i lose my data if i flash kernel?
A) No, you wont lose any data nor do you have to wipe data or cache.
Q) Does my battery need to be 100% to flash?
A) Not at all
Q)Flashed CM 6.2 Kernel on Froyo Rom and WIFI doesnt work?
A) There are two versions of Kernel. One is for Froyo Rom and other is for CyanogenMod Rom 6.2 (CM 6.2). if you are on Froyo rom and flash CM 6.2 then your wifi wont work and vice versa.
Q) 1400 Mhz (Extreme version) doesnt work for me
A) Not all Galaxy 3 suppport overclocking as high as 1400 Mhz. If it doesnt work then keep frequency lower or flash Ultimate, Performance or Lite version
Q) What does this data2sd in g3mod do?
A) data2sd is method by which all your /data partition goes to your sdcard thus giving you more space for downloading apps. Its suggested to use data2sd only if your sdcard class is higher than Class 6
Q) Internel Memory shows 0kb
A) Check if you have fs.data2sd at this location /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ If yes then delete it or else your sd card doesnt have sd-ext partition
Q) How can i go to recovery mode
A) Press MENU+VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER button and bingo!!!
Q) Should i use multi boot even if i am having 2 gb card class 2 ?
A) Sd card with any class can use multiboot
Q) Data Wipe Necessary When Switching Between CM and Froyo ?
A) Yes data wipe is necessary for switching roms between CM and Froyo. But we have given option to Backup data also in recovery.
Q) My APP is not working after Flashing KERNEL
A) Its not a kernel problem
Q) What is tun.ko?
A) It is basically used to setup Open VPN connections
Q) What is jhash3?
A) jhash3 improves the HSDPA/3G/EDGE speed
For Advanced users
Q1) Battery is draining fast?
A) After flashing the kernel please calibrate your battery or else let 3-4 full battery cycles pass.
Q2) Which profiles should i use?
A) Lets take example that you are using Ultimate kernel. Keep the governor ondemand (Like every good boyfriend fulfills all demands of his girlfriend ondemand governor does the same for your CPU ).
Make profiles:-
1) Time Profile - 12 am to 6.00 am Freq 100 Mhz to 400 Mhz Priority 100
2) Screen Off - Freq 100 Mhz to 600 Mhz Priority 95
Q3) What are advanced settings in the SetCPU mean?
A) Sampling rate is rate at which the frequency of your CPU changes. Up Threshold is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Up). Down Threshold (conservative only) is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Down). Powersave bias is used for saving the power of CPU, it will slow down the CPU and affect the performance also 200 in powersave bias mean 20%...250 means 25% and so on.
Q4) I want performance and also good battery what profiles should be i use?
A) Refer to Q2 for Profiles Set up and now go in Advanced tab and Keep Sampling Rate 10000 or 15000. Upper Threshold to 90 and Powersave bias to 200 (20%). Since we are using powersave bias, this will affect the performance as it slows down the CPU so to increase the performance we are lowering the Sampling rate thus we get perfect balance of Performance and good battery backup.
NOTE: ABOVE SETTINGS ARE JUST EXAMPLE..PLEASE PLAY AROUND AND CHOOSE SETTINGS WHICH SUITS YOU THE BEST

Steps for Multi boot:
1) Flash Kernel v1.7+
2) Go to CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Backup ROM.
3) Backup your Current ROM to ROM1 (It will backup the system.img at /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM )
4) Add the system.img of your 2nd ROM to /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM and similarly for different ROM's.
5) Use the CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Switch ROM option to switch between different ROM's.
6) If switching between Froyo ROM and CM6.2 RoM, you will need to wipe data and also change kernel's via update.zip method.
7) Use the data backup and restore option to prevent loss of data when switching between Froyo and CM6.2 ROM's.
Note: Ask the developer of the ROM's to provide you with the system.img for their ROM
How to use Hybrid Data2SD
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo hybrid > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/fs.data2sd'
4) Create a text document in Notepad with a list of all the directories you wish to move. Example:
Code:
app
log
dalvik-cache
---LEAVE A BLANK LINE AT THE END---
5) Save the file and call it 'data2sd.dirs'
6) Do 'adb push data2sd.dirs /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/'
7) Reboot your phone
8) Once your phone has booted, run 'adb shell cat /data2sd.log' to ensure it is running correctly.
How to enable Multi Data
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/multiosdata'
4) Multi Data will automatically backup your data upon booting into a different OS.
Make sure to not wipe your SD-EXT partition. Doing so will erase the backups from other firmware. Only wipe it if you wish to erase data for everything.
You can also use Multi Data to quickly restore data if your phone has become corrupted. It will restore it back to the last multi-boot switching
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdext/lastos'
4) Reboot the phone
Directories for Multi boot:
//ROM Dir
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod6_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod7_ROM"); //Add CM7 Support
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/G3MOD_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/Kyrillos_ROM");

//Data + sd-ext Backup Dir
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/data/Froyo_DATA");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/data/CM6_DATA");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/data/CM7_DATA");
//Kernel dir

__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/kernel/CM6");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/kernel/CM7");
How to configure compcache:
If you want to use default configuration (as up to now.. 62 MB aprox.), you don't have to do anything different as what you have been doing. But if you want to use a more/less memory, here are the steps:
Inside that /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/compcache file, write ONLY the number of MegaBytes you want to use for compcache.
Reboot.
If compcache file is empty or contains a "0" inside, it will use default configuration.
How to: BLN
This is only "needed" if you have a i5801 | i5800L or any other Galaxy 3 model with back button lights and want BLN in it.
How to install:
First, download the lights.GT-I5800.so file from google code. Then execute this commands:
adb remount (or if this doesn't work: mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl6 /system)
adb rm /system/lib/hw/lights*
adb push [Location of this file] /system/lib/hw
After that, reboot and now you have BLN working
Steps for Changing the Max Freq(Dynamic OC):
There is an entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table where you can put your own value for APLL.
Before doing this, set "PERFORMANCE" governor on and min and max frequencies to the maximum.
Code:
// Do this in adb
echo "0 a[SIZE="5"][B][U]258[/U][/B][/SIZE]0[SIZE="5"][B][U]3[/U][/B][/SIZE]01 a14d0303 c07e13fc cf850240" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
You need to replace the 258(Hex Value) with your desired value.
Here 258 means
(2*16*16) + (5*16) + 8 = 600
and 3 means it is 600*2 = 1200
Therefore, a2580301 means 1200MHz.
This is a temporary method. For a permanent Method, add this line to a init.d script. Name the script to something like S10_Dyanmic_OC.
Help Others: If you calculate a Hex Value for a particular frequencies add it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5hdnpsWFdTNExiY2t3dy16VzBvaWc6MQ
You can view all the frequency Hex value's calculated by others over here:

Note:
We am learning how to develop kernels.
We willl add different features as and when we can implement them.
The main goal of this kernel will be to keep the phone stable and fast.
There will be nothing as alpha or beta releases.
We will give out the kernels directly, but if anything goes wrong and you have to reflash the ROM or kernel, please dont start shouting.
You may give us different ideas on what features to implement. We will try our best to implement all the features you want
Many of the features implemented in this kernel, are taken from marcellusbe's Fugumod Kernel, and we shall be ever thankful to marcellusbe for the fugumod kernel
Warning:
We are not responsible for any damage caused to your phone (softbrick or hardbrick)

Credits:
marcellusbe for all his help, awesome fugumod kernel
supercurio for voodoo v10
Paolo for BFQ I/O Scheduler
All developers for making this an awesome phone
Everyone who is helping is solving different issues with this kernel
Please let us know if we miss anyone ...oh we did already miss someone..thanks G3MOD TEAM too

What to the old thread?
Nm read that
Btw 6th post got some errors...

@Dharam, i have a question. In your v1.8 Kernel, We can change the partitions to any type we want, can't we? Because in Mumbozver's recovery, we could only use ext2/ext4/ext2.

The kernel itself supports everything, but CWM only supports EXT2. I will look into either porting CWM4 or getting 2.5 to support more systems.

getting 2.5 to support other partitions will be a better idea...coz for CWM 4 you need complete CM7 source, and also most of the update.zip's on the g3 forums use amend...and CWM 4 supports only edify....

All the best to the future process
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Right, I want to work on USB OTG but lack the cable, and the only way I can do it with what I have is if I destroy my only USB cable for my phone. So if someone wants me to do USB OTG, then buy me a cable and I'll do it
All the stuff is there to do it, I just need to get the phone to switch into host mode.

I think v1.9 is going to come sooner than expected...excellent work by the whole team...

Will this root my phone if I install this in Stock ROM?

~ SIO IO scheduler by Miguel Boton (default)
~ BFQ IO scheduler by Paolo Valente and Fabio Checconi
~ deadline IO scheduler
Extended features:
~ ro.secure=0 (root acces through adb shell - to root the 'clean flavour' of BCK, please follow the instructions)
~ EXT4 support (to convert your file system, use amit.bagaria's ext4 add-on .apk) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Support for init.d scripts (to use scripts, please follow the instructions) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ BLN support (to use BLN, please follow the instructions)
~ TUN support for VPN networks built-in (no module needed)
~ Increased SD-card read ahead of 768 kb for improved read speed
~ Available with universal CF-root ramdisk based on amit.bagaria's version, improved by loSconosciuto (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Available with universal CWM ramdisk (rooted) based on universal CF-root, but 'tweakless' (Only in CWM .tar)
Overclocking and Voltage:
~ Evolved sysfs interface for variable overclock or underclock (all operating points [OPPs] can be adjusted seperately)
~ Fifth OPP (1.2 GHz) available, device booting up at stock speed (1 GHz)
~ Total frequency control. The device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi.
~ sysfs interface for voltages (read only at the moment)
~ Slight undervolt (3%) on all OPPs
Flashing , settings and compatibility:
If you want to use BCK, please flash it on a clean stock ROM. If you want to go back to stock, repartition and reflash the full firmware with ODIN. This kernel will not work on CM or MIUI.
The CF-root and CWM versions (PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_***.tar / PDA_BCK_CWM_universal_***.tar) can be flashed on any recent Gingerbread firmware. These versions are pre-rooted, which means they include Superuser.
The non-CF-root "clean" version (PDA_BCK_XXKPQ_***.tar / PDA_BCK_XXLE4_***.tar) will only work on XXKPQ / XXLE4. Do not flash this version on anything other ROM than the one indicated in the file name. This will break your WiFi. It's especially risky to flash the clean version of BCK after flashing any CF-root kernel before. Don't do it. This version does not include Superuser, but it is prepared to be rooted. Follow the instructions to do this.
After a kernel update, please wait for the device to boot up and reboot once. There is generally no need for cache cleaning or a full reset. To change the governor and IO scheduler, I use NoFrills CPU Control from the market. It's free and reliable.
I recommend to use the clean XXKPQ version. If you want / need to have root, try the CWM version. If you want the 'full package' with FuGu-Mod and more, use the CF-root. I recommend that you do not apply any further tweaks and use a stock ROM.
>>> Warning: Overclocking may damage your device. <<<
Overclocking instructions:
For overclocking, you will need a shell on your phone, or adb access. I use Android Terminal Emulator. Overclocking is currently limited to certain frequencies (see below) and all operationg points will be set with the stock voltage of the corresponding stock frequency. The frequencies you set have to be within the following ranges:
Code:
OPP1: 100 - 500 MHz, stock 300 MHz
OPP2: 501 - 700 MHz, stock 600 MHz
OPP3: 701 - 900 MHz, stock 800 MHz
OPP4: 901 - 1100 MHz, stock 1000 MHz
OPP5: 1101 - 1500 MHz, stock 1200 MHz, not used by default
Remember that your phone uses all operating points depending on the current load. Anything more than 10% higher than the highest stock frequency is likely to be unstable, but you are free to try it. To change the clocks, open Terminal Emulator (or type 'adb shell') and hack in
Code:
su
echo "1100" > /sys/power/overclock_opp4
as an example. The others are opp5, opp3, opp2 and opp1. That's it.
Settings will be lost at reboot, unless you add them to your init.d scripts. I do not recommend this, as this may cause boot loops if the settings are to high! Be advised that NoFrills CPU Control, SetCPU, or whatever app you use that may adjust clock settings interfers with this. You may wanna update their settings after this. I do not recommend using them to set anything at boot if you overclock any OPP, because they might save the wrong frequencies and crash or do worse.
Changelog:
beta 1:
Added cpufreq governors
beta 2:
Changed smartassV2 settings to fit i9003
Added EXT4 support
Smaller zImage due to .config changes
beta 3 (not released):
Experimented with overclocking (not working, yet)
beta 4:
Finetuned smartassV2 settings
Made smartassV2 governor default
Reverted: Smaller zImage due to .config changes
Switched to linaro 4.6.2 toolchain (also used for ICS)
Activated new, aggressive compiler optimizations (-O3)
Added deadline IO scheduler
Added BFQ IO scheduler (10% higher performance than CFQ in Antutu Database IO Benchmark. This does not mean, that the maximum read or write speed increase! It just means that the throughput under heavy load is higher.)
Made BFQ IO scheduler default
Updated all modules
beta 5:
Variable overclock. Loosely based on the modifications of the Nook Color sources by dalingrin and of course with help from amit.bagaria and DooMLoRD.
beta 6:
Variable overclock for all operating points
beta 7:
Switched to universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria (BCK now should run on every recent GB ROM)
Added correct version information in settings menu, credits to DooMLoRD
Fixed cpufreq stats to correctly reflect frequency changes
Increased SD-card read ahead to 768 KBytes. This results in higher SD-card read speeds.
Major simplifications in overclocking code. Works more robust, now.
Added sysfs interface to show voltages. See /sys/power/overclock_vdd_oppX
Changed all voltages to the mainline Linux kernel defaults. This results in a slight 3% undervolt for each OPP, which saves about 5% power and should have no impact on stability whatsoever. Below you will find an overview of the exact voltages.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP1: 1.0250 V 1.0000 V
OPP2: 1.2000 V 1.1625 V
OPP3: 1.3300 V 1.3000 V
OPP4: 1.3875 V 1.3500 V
OPP5: not def. 1.3800 V
beta 8:
OPP5 (1.2 GHz) now enabled in _1200 version of kernel. Thanks to knzo for pointing me to the right patch.
Fixed video recording bug when running at 1.2 GHz
Fixed power management issues at 1.2 GHz
Small changes to smartassV2 and interactiveX settings
beta 9:
Added simple IO ('SIO') scheduler
Only one kernel version now, which includes OPP5 (1.2 GHz) but boots up at 1 GHz. Be advised that your device may nevertheless be running at 1.2 GHz for five to ten seconds at boot because of software limitations.
Changes in PM to always respect cpufreq policy limits. From now on, the device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Bugfix for framebuffer code. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Reduced IVA / DSP frequency when on OPP5 to be on the safe side.
beta 9fix:
Reverted: Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. (Patch caused random freezes using WiFi.)
Reverted: Bugfix for framebuffer code. (Patch showed no noticeable benefits.)
beta 10:
Fix for sync bug applied. If you still have problems, please report.
This version is identical to beta 10rc14. No need to flash again, if you already are on that version.
beta 11:
Updated universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria to version 9 (released 1st of February 2012), but NO touch recovery
Slight increase in OPP5 voltage (1.38 V -> 1.40 V), may prevent some reported reboots on 1.2GHz
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4000 V
Changes in overclocking code to play nice with your frequency settings. If you overclock OPP5 but have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it won't automatically activate OPP5 anymore. The same is true for the lowest OPP.
If you overclock OPP4 above 1000 MHz and have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it will update the upper boundary to the new frequency of OPP4 so it doesn't get deactivated.
beta 12:
Fixed bluetooth problem with car audio systems (Based on omapzoom patches [1], [2] and [3]). Might resolve other bluetooth issues, too.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed bootanimation. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed install procedure. It will check the actual kernel version, now. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed fix_permissions script to work on our device. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Switched to user_defconfig, to avoid unnecessary debug lines in dmesg.
beta 13:
Updated sources to GT-I9003_SWA_GB_Opensource_Update1 from the 30th of March. This also enables TUN support by default. You do not need any modules for this - it works "out of the box" with any VPN client.
Universal CF-Root: Backup is not failing anymore when started from CWM. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Some small improvements to multiple scripts.
Home button double press issue fixed. There should be no more unwanted double selections in CWM and you can now reliably long press the home button to bring up the list of previously used apps. Idea and timer function taken from a patch by Tegrak.
Fixed priority class for CONTENT_PROVIDER not being set, which may have caused apps of this class to be ignored by the autokiller, resulting in less free RAM.
Lowered OMAP processor transition latency to the value recommended by TI. Subjectively, this brought huge improvements in terms of reducing micro stutters.
Lowered CFS scheduler latency and granularity to values very close to mainline kernel defaults. This could reduce lags in some critical situations, but it doesn't do wonders.
Switched to SIO as default IO scheduler.
beta 14:
Universal CF-Root: Replaced CWMManager and TweakManager with zipaligned files. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: The TweakManager is not replaced on install if it didn't change to preserve it's settings. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Corrected problems because of too little free space in /system when converting to ext4 by permanently moving InfoAlarm.apk from /system/app to /data/app. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-working WiFi on XXLE4 and prevented future problems. Instead of patching the WiFi modules, they are now replaced. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed some small mistakes in the CF-root install procedure.
Switched the compression of ramdisk and kernel from gzip to lzma. This makes the files much smaller and allows us to include more 'stuff'.
Changed smartassV2 settings to wake up at lower frequencies. Further, it is not locked at 300 MHz anymore when the screen is off. Tests showed that free scaling is more battery friendly.
Removed InteractiveX and OndemandX governors and added the Interactive governor by Mike Chan (Source: CyanogenMod Crespo kernel). Since free scaling proved to be more battery friendly, the screen off profiles in InteractiveX and OndemandX made them superfluous.
The device will not scale above 1 GHz for some seconds when booting anymore. It's now safe to use BCK even if your device can't handle 1.2 GHz. Based on a patch by dalingrin.
Changes in PM to respect cpufreq policy limits when playing or recording video. The device should respect your wishes under all circumstances, now
Fixed the SmartReflex voltage calibration of the OMAP SoC for OPP5. This could lower power consumption as soon as OPP5 (1.2 GHz) is activated for the first time.
Slight increase in the OPP5 nominal voltage (1.40 V -> 1.42 V) to allow for some adjustment by SmartReflex (now that it's working...), if necessary. The actual voltage when the device is running will not change for most users! Based on patches by dalingrin and Sanjeev Premi.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4200 V
beta 14 fix:
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-ending row of force closes after flashing the Universal flavour of BCK. The clean XXKPQ version did not show these problems and didn't need a 'fix'.
beta 15:
Universal CF-Root: Modified some permissions to bring it closer to the stock ramdisk
Universal CWM: Created a CWM ramdisk based on CF-root, without most tweaks. You now have three BCK flavours to choose from
Updated to newest UPDATE2 sources by Samsung
Sync bug fix reworked to use new Samsung method from UPDATE2. This may lead to slightly lower standby battery consumption.
Fixed accidental front camera mirroring
Editing smartassV2 settings with busybox 1.20.x and newer no longer leads to reboots. Thanks to loSconosciuto for pointing me to the patch.
Fixed complete crash of WiFi driver when activating WiFi by adapting smartassv2 thresholds
Reverted to the original Google Android toolchain using gcc 4.4.3
Because of the toolchain-switch, the compiler optimizations are now back to -O2 instead of -O3

it doesnt have oc ! it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast

tough luck for me mate....
i compile a vanilla kernel which is ~200 kb larger than stock zImage and it doesnt even boot!
also,even i want to update to 2.6.35.14,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how u did it without source?
also(2)lz open an acc. on github!

@sakindia123: Take a look here, update your sources to the new version, and get the new toolchain they use (see readme in the sources).

i followed that link before......
ok i will try with new source

what will happen if we use this ? are there any good feautures ?

it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast

Now just wait for some days guys. Doomlord, bam, sakindia will show u real power of our device.

This is great! Just one little question, you said this is for a chinese firmware, but you mention KPQ, so it can be put in XXKPQ or not? Anyway sorry for my noob question

It is based on the Chinese source - this includes kernel and android system source. But the kernel is universal (not language specific), and I applied all necessary settings for XXKPQ. Therefore you can flash it on KPQ.

what does a kernel do??
it is the main driving force of a phone that i know.
does it make our phone fast??
how to flash it as i would like to give it a try right away!!
can i roll back to stock kernel after this??
sorry for thr noob question as im new to all this.
---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
also do we need to have CWM recovery for this????
or we can do it with the stock recovery menu??

i was just doing some testing and the kernel is stuck at "SAMSUNG" bootanimation after a FRESH FLASH...
any idea?
used on XXKPQ FW

I flash your kernel. From last 5hours no SOD ISSUE. I'm using smartass v2 let's see how will battery I will get from it.

Fresh flash of what PDA? Yours, mine, GitHub?
@manrock111: smartassv2 gives me slightly higher battery usage than stock. I want to tweak it, but have problems with my sources at the moment.

As many of you probably already know, I had another 'Fusion' kernel for the S4 HTC One S. However, because I incorporated mdeejay's patches, the kernel did not play nice with the CPU and whatnot. I nuked my repo, imported the T-Mobile US kernel sources, and re-built the kernel from scratch. I wanted to start a new thread so people would not mix up this and the old kernel.

Downloads
Do NOT flash versions 3.0 and higher in recovery!! They are 7zips!!
I purposely made it a 7zip archive so people don't flash it. Instead, extract the appropriate zip from the package and then flash like before. You get options of whether you want overclock or stock clock. The zip will flash the correct files and modules according to your choice and then clean out conflicting init.d scripts for the best possible compatibility.
All Downloads are HERE
How to Install
For hboot 1.09 and below:
Just flash the zip in TWRP recovery. It will automatically flash the boot.img for you.
For hboot 1.13 and up:
you have two options
Option #1
Use TWRP's HTC Dumlock feature. It is a pretty neat workaround that allows you to flash boot.imgs in recovery even on a higher hboot.
Look here for instructions from TeamWin. If you are not comfortable with this method, then follow option #2 to manually flash in fastboot.
Option #2
In addition to flashing the zip, you will have to extract the boot.img from the package and flash it manually with fastboot. Blame HTC for the half-assed 'unlock bootloader' offering they give us. Hopefully we will get S-OFF soon...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Look here for a guide.

For Developers
How to build this kernel from source:
This is assuming you already have your Linux environment setup and installed the required packages for compiling a kernel.
1. Clone my initramfs and kernel sources.
Code:
git clone git://github.com/klin1344/kernel_ville_US.git
git clone git://github.com/klin1344/initramfs_ville_4.0.3.git
2. Compress the ramdisk into a gzipped archive. First navigate to the initramfs_ville_4.0.3 directory, then:
Code:
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.gz
3. Grab the toolchain from DoomLord's handy repo:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git toolchains
4. I have created an easy build script. Modify the top four lines to be applicable to your setup. Make sure CROSS_COMPILE is set to the directory of the toolchain we just downloaded earlier (there are two; not the Linaro one). And change INITRAMFS_DIR to the directory of the ramdisk.gz you created earlier.
5. Build. First navigate to the kernel_ville_US directory.
Code:
./build.sh ville_defconfig
for the stock option or
Code:
./build.sh ville_oc_defconfig
if you want the overclocked option.
The script will detect the number of cores of your CPU and automatically make with the optimal -j#.
6. If all goes well you should end up with a boot.img in the kernel_ville_US directory.

FAQ.... Please read this before posting questions!!!
FAQ
Frequently asked questions. Please read all of this first, and then if it doesn't answer your question, feel free to ask in the thread. I just don't want to have to keep answering Is this kernel SENSE based? or How do I jailbreak my HTC One S??? type of questions. Lol. :silly: Thank you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What ROMs is this kernel compatible with?
As stated in the OP, this kernel is compatible with all S4 devices running a 4.0.3 Sense-based ROM. It is NOT compatible with the new 2.21 RUU, which is Android 4.0.4 based. We will have to wait until HTC releases the new kernel source because the differences are not only in the initramfs.
What is the best governor for me to use?
It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want performance, go with Lionheart or Ondemand. If you want battery life, go with Conservative. And if you are looking for a balance between battery life and performance, then use either SmartassV2, Interactive, or LagFree. These are just my opinions. Look here for a great reference of all the CPU governors. Test them out and decide which works best for you.
Which I/O scheduler is the best?
I personally use SIO, but you can test and decide which is the best for you. Read here to find the pros and cons of each one.
How do I overclock?
The kernel should default at 192Mhz 1.5Ghz CPU clocks. To overclock, use SetCPU, No-Frills CPU, System Tuner Lite/Pro, or any similar CPU control app. Some apps don't allow the settings to stick properly. I recommend using No-Frills or System Tuner.
How do I undervolt?
Right now, the only app that works for voltage control is System Tuner. Both the Lite and Pro versions allow you to change the voltages. Do not use SetCPU as it doesn't work.
Here is the voltage table I am currently using:
Code:
1890mhz: 1250 mV
1809mhz: 1225 mV
1728mhz: 1200 mV
1674mhz: 1175 mV
1512mhz: 1150 mV
1458mhz: 1137 mV
1404mhz: 1125 mV

Please just take these as a grain of salt; not all chips are created equal! Some devices can become an ass when it comes to undervolting, while others can starve the CPU to death and still run fine. Experiment little by little until you find your perfect voltages.
What is zRam and how does it work?

ZRAM is an updated version formally known as CompCache and RAMZSwap. It was originally designed for 2.6.38.xx kernels, I have backported to our 2.6.35.xx kernel. ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.

WiFi doesn't work???
Flash the alternative modules package in the OP. It is for EU based ROMs as well as MIUI Sense-based. You only need to flash it once, unless you change or update your ROM.

Nice..Will do testing...
Hopefully it give the best battery life than stock

Thank you sir!

Here is a zip to flash the kernel! Testing with Axiom S v1.8, will test battery with SmartassV2

Thanks. But unfortunately the reason I did not make it a zip is because that some of us who are on hboot 1.13 or higher can't flash boot.img's in TWRP recovery at all. The same goes for radios. I stupidly ran the 1.78 RUU, which update my hboot from 1.09 to 1.13. :crying:

Should have just flashed the radio
How do you like the new radio? I seem to be getting a lot better service and a more stable WiFi connection.
Liking the kernel so far
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

Bug I found -
-While install apps it take awhile for it to install. (1mins or 2min). I just phone the sit until it finish install
-After reboot ...the kernel take awhile for it kick in. For example..If you have email it will take awhile to prompt on notication bar .

Is it possible you can post zips for download in the OP? Thanks. Will try tomorrow.

Maybe try wiping data / factory reset? To be honest those sound more like rom issues rather than kernel related issues.
I cannot reproduce it.

My fault. I was lazy and flash the flashable zip on post #7 and create this error. Reflash rom and fastboot usb and works like a charms..:good:

If you need another guy to test a 4.0.4 Pre-Release...
(i'm under Trick 6.0)

+1 but the thing is a bit complicated because we need current modules because of better wifi signal.
I guess we'll just have to wait for the new kernel source from 2.21 base

just flashed it with axiom v1.8.0
everything seems to be working fine.. it's fast smooth stable
nice stuff, Klin

Trying this now in hopes my frequency changes stick after a reboot unlike stock :/

Is it normal for CPU settings to not stick after a reboot?
I set 1.3ghz/384mhz max/min for both cores. I reboot and it defaults back to 1.5/192
Basically same issue with stock kernel.

What app are you using? I use No-Frills CPU and it has the "apply on boot" option.

Setting don't stick after reboot. I'm using setcpu
Also, When I applied this kernel..my screen flick across the screen while exit app (es explorer)
