Hello guys. Those of you, who have been monitoring ray's dev section, know, that there is such a kernel for GB, as "pure emerald' or "aire's" kernel. But its problem is that it's for GB So i decided to do this kernel for ICS. I'm from russia and 4pda, and on our forum we don't like many "svistoperdelkas", which means that we don't like to have many useless (and sometimes not stable) features.
So, you can understand now, why there are no many features in my kernel which you can find in sirkay's kernel, for example. The advantage of such a kernel is that there is no any trash in it, only main things.
Features:
Clean ramdisk
Removed Fota
ext2, ext3, ext4, vfat, ntfs support
USB OTG support
Init.d support
Linaro
DooMKernel recovery (it's the best, IMHO)
Added smartass2 governor (a very battery friendly one)
Swap, ZRam
2way call recording (uses CallRecoder by skvalex)
And now smth really new (for my kernel at least). Now YOU choose what OC to use. I've got 3 versions of this kernel.
1) 1.4 OC + uv (very battery friendly)
2) 1.4 OC no uv (for those ones, where uv causes random reboots) (not so battery friendly)
3) 1.6 OC + vdd. (not battery friendly at all, only for performance)
Download - link
One more thing. You can either believe it or not. But still. My HDD is dying. First 4GB of it are already covered with bad blocks. Also, the 10th GB is "bad". These bad blocks are "hardware". My linux is installed somewhere at 40th gb, but i think it won't take very long untill it's dead too. The first version of my kernel was downloaded for 260 times. Not so much as on 4pda (2000+ ), but still quite a lot. If every person who have downloaded it donated 1$ for me - i could buy a new HDD. So, if you are not indifferent to me and my HDD, please, donate to me thanks in advance
Wow!!! Finally a new kernel!
I hope it's battery friendly :laugh:
Aire kernel was my favourite GB kernel
Best regards
:good:Tnx,this is just what i needed....flashed&testing...
:good:
P.s.: I don't like "svistoperdelkas" too...
flashed, i'm trying it :good:

Calm,my friends,i think that you have two different approach in kernel compiling,vdsirotkin's one is good for battery,while sirkay's one is more"experimental" and good for performance,no-one is better than another:simply they are different..:beer::beer::beer:

whats wrong with oc to 1.6?? my ray is stable at 1.6 so thats fine for me, nobody forces u to oc, same for governors and shedulers, not a good thing to point at another devs work and telling thats bad mine better
and arcatarc im not sure that the "simple" kernel is more battery frindle or more stable, will test during the weekand

even if it's stable, not a very great speed advantage does not worth battery drain.

im not mad, just my curiosity to know how do you define "trash". if that so, then me too dont like "svistoperdelkas". i always made 2 version, one for users (with features they've requested) and one for me (with only smartassv2 and intellidemand gov, freq max 806mhz, dont UV, didnt use zram, disabled debugging, disabled unused modules).

v2 Released. Scroll down for info!
Hello,
After lots of help from sirkay and FXP, I've built my own kernel that I thought I'd share with you.
This kernel wouldn't exist without the hard work of FXP. This is built from his source code. All real credit for this belongs with him (and DoomLord too, also an FXP Team member)
That said, this is my take and keeps the rather awesome release that is CM7.2 alive!
To be clear: This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 7.2 - Gingerbread! If you want a good ICS Kernel look at Sirkay's Thread.
So, what's different?
Uses a very recent GCC to compile, GCC version 4.6.3 which I optimised the build for Cortex-a8 and NEON.
Is compiled for performance not size (Optimize for size unticked)
Heap Randomisation is disabled.
Enabled SWAP - So you can use swap if you want to...
Default Scheduler changed to deadline, same as the Sony official kernel (still has bfq if you want to use it)
Default governor changed to ondemand.
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT turned off. (This might break apps, haven't found any yet though)
Disabled CPUFreq Debugging.
Disabled FRAME_POINTERS, enabled STACK_UNWIND. Reason here: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td6126708
There is no boot logo when this kernel boots. Each time I added one, the kernel refused to boot. I'll look at that. Just have patience, your phone is booting still...
(Here's where I make lots of stupid claims about how smooth, how buttery, how much battery life this kernel saves. Except I'm not a screaming idiot, so I'm not going to do that!)
I'm interested in any feedback you have, but I did this mostly for me.
And please remember the real person to thank, FXP. It's his source code I've used to build this. Also again thanks to Sirkay for his help and pointers.
Download it from here.

so good, This is what I looking for
@muppetmania attach here you png file. i can try to convert it to .rle for you
Could GB MIUI have the privilege?
Could we have a CM7 based MIUI 2.3.7 kernel?
I think GB MIUI works just fine and don't want to upgrade to ICS or JB.
But a better kernel for GB MIUI is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance,pls let us know if you'd be willing to.

Thanks sirkay, but the problem isn't that I can't make a rle file, it's that the rle file when added to the ramdisk stops the kernel booting. It seems to a bug in the SEMC loader, I found a post about it somewhere. Does the boot.img need to be padded out to a certain size to work?
Sometimes my logo.rle would work, but then I'd make changes, recompile, and the kernel would hang on boot. Annoying, so I've removed it for the moment.

Hi rivtre,
I'd love to help, but my Ray is the only phone I have and is running CM7.2. While I could make a kernel for MIUI I'd have no (easy) way to test it. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I started releasing untested things. So I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but no. Anyway, read the next bit to see why that's probably not a bad thing!
To All:
My kernel seems to be terrible when it comes to HD video recording. Can anyone else test this? I get heaps of dropped frames using my kernel when recording HD video vs a FXP Stock kernel. I need to look more at this, but for the moment I'd recommend not using this kernel!
v2 Released!
Version 2 of muppet kernel released.
What's new?
Compiled with GCC 4.7.1
Reverted to BFQ Scheduler by default
Reverted to Interactive CPU Scaling by default
Added logo.rle so you know it's booting!
Removed Debugging Symbols (CONFIG_KALLSYMS)
Reverted the scheduler and CPU scaling as they seemed to be the cause of the video recording lag.
Enjoy!

Not sure if it works with the stock ROM or not - try it and report back.
Yes, like all kernel images, you can flash it with Flashtool.
You can OC up to 1.6Ghz.
I tried it, but It doesn't work. Booting failed

Just flashed your kernel, going to give a test run! thanks!!
Edit:
Well it doesn't seem to me that the camera recording works at all ... pictures = fine - but when trying to record video - the image freezes - and the camera app crashes.
I have to reboot to get back into the camera app...
Also, can't play any video I previously recorded...
Anything I'm missing?
I've flashed your kernel and did a cache + dalvik wipe...
Cheers!

Hi all,
I am using Vasishta's ICS ROM and I am in search of a kernel that includes both Wifi and SmartassV2. Reason for wanting SmartassV2 is because of it's smoothness and batterylife. But I can't find a kernel that's capable of both. These are my search&test results:
FXP 132/FXP133Only interactive of on demand govenors
Wifi is fine.kCernel v3 (I tried this kernel with and without Wifi modules)Lots of governors!
No wifi.Fera 1.8 (good changelog on his tread!)SmartassV2 is there!
No wifi.AOKP (Championswimmer released this one specifically to test a wifi fixIt has 4 governors, including SmartassV2.
No wifi.
A bit strange, because on Champ's AOKP i got wifi working with 'm6'-ROM.
Reading up on this thread i think the missing Wifi has something to to with 'just' a wrong wifi module (ar600 vs. ???).
Maybe I am overlooking something.
So my question is: Does anyone know a of a kernel that i can use?
If I need to do some tweaking to make a kernel work (eg. use other Wifi modules), than please guide me in the right direction. I am not expierenced in compling, but changing files, permissions, etc. is no problem. My guess is that Fera's kernel or Champs kernel can be modifed to accomplish what i want.

Hi there friend, first of all why do you want the smartassv2 governor?, xperia s ics is based on cm9 and you have to use the fxp132 kernel, kernel is made by fxp team and it suits the rom well, you dont need smartassv2 governor in order to have a great rom. trust me!, these developers (FXP) does exactly know what they are doing.. press thanks button if i helped you. cheers!! :good:
take note, there is kernel kitchen made by championswimmer if you want to modify some kernels and make that governor added in your custom ics kernel.. have a good day friend!

Thank you Kaito_Kuroba and my apologies for my late reaction.
I found answers and i notice there is still al lot of developemen going on.
I've no doubt that there are good kernels. nonetheless, You said it wisely that FXP know what they are doing. I haven't got those skills, so why would i question their choices and want something else.
Thanks for this 'reminder'.
Too bad i can't make time to create this hobby. I've got the right education to do development, programmaing and so on.
My familylife and work doesn't give me enough time to be working in this hobby.
Best regards,
UltimateGeppie
here is a good kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867817
for wifi. you should do a fullwipe....
These are without question the absolute best CM9 kernels available:
For basically stock speeds - http://www.mediafire.com/?7waaqnrui676onj
For overclock to 1.228 GHz - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yi0enn6sjxww3pd
Both have Smartass v2 and WiFi working perfectly. And everything; connections,WiFi, deep sleep just plain functions well.The first is faster per clock cycle but still can't match the performance gain of the extra 200 MHz available in the second.
Thank you all guys!
I am aware of Amin his kernels. I started the thread about two months ago. At that time there wasn't a kernel that was capable of both wishes.
Since then a lot has happened and been developed.
My question is answered and no longer relevant.
Thank you all. Thread can be closed.

So far only Fera's kernel in combination with McSqwizzys98 Rom is ablé to give Wifi and SmartassV2. I was searching for this combination (even made a thread in Q&A for it).
Nonetheless I'm very happy that there is kernel development!
I'll try it anyway (No offense MqSqwizzy98 )

Sorry Amin. Doesn't work in my situation.
Maybe good to know:
On this Rom (with fera's kernel and also with your kernel) I also haven't got data (need to do the *#*#4636#*#* trick).
Thanks for your efforts, though. If I can test again, I'll sure do it.

Hi Folks,
This is my first post on XDA, though I have been using this excelent forum for a long while but never had a chance to post.
I want to share with all of you, ROM developers, the Kernel I have build for my own use for my GT-S5830i device, from Samsung Kernel Sources. Feel free to use it if you want.
THIS KERNEL IS ONLY FOR GT-S5830I, not for use in other devices. IT SHOULD WORK ON ALL ROMS, EVEN STOCK ROMS!!!!
Kernel Includes:
Freqs:
156 MHz
312 MHz
624 MHz
832 MHz
Governors:
Intellidemand
InteractiveX
SmartassV2
Conservative
bcm21553
Performance
I/O Schedulers
noop
deadline
cfq
vr
sio --> Got this one from Rafael Baugis Source. Thankyou Rafael, hope this is not an inconvenient.
Fatures:
Enabled Module Loading
Init.d Support
Improved kernel scripts (Many of them, i dont really know why Samsung is opensourcing such sources. I know this is a low cost phone, but...)
Swap support
Ramzswap support
Root --> Kernel is all ready rooted, su is in xbin as usual lol. Just need to download busybox and Superuser from Google Play.
Btw, Camera, Flash, Wifi etc etc etc... is working fine.
Optional boot logo (splash image) I have uploaded 2 kernels, one with Splash, one with no Splash. Splash img is attached below. Basically I modified param.lfs.
Filesystem Support
ext2, 3, 4
Msdos
VFAT
YAFFS2
JFFS2
AT THE MOMENT KERNELS CAN ONLY BE FLASHED BY ODIN, HAD NO TIME TO MAKE AN UPDATER SCRIPT.
I WONT EXPLAIN HOW TO FLASH WITH ODIN AS THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY TUTORIALS ON THIS TOPIC.
The links:

Version with no splash screen
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68301491/PDAnitKernelRing.tar
Version with splash screen.
May be you will get CWM asking to reboot, please reboot, this only happens the first time.
Others:
Im not responsable if you brick your phone (its difficult to to do this if you have apropiate CWM and you have a complete backup of your system. If you dont have a backup, i think you are crazy trying kernels around the www).
Please dont ask me for OC, or adding more freqs, I have been trying this for many weeks with no success. MPU tables, opp, etc... just found nothing in the source code even seeking throug the asm script. May be I will spend some more time on this, but to be honest i am bored. 4 freqs for this "tiny machine" I think is ok. Remember Less Is Best.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for downloading. And please dont donate, lol I do this for fun, but if you like it, please press the Thanks Button.
I will upload all sources to git as soon as possible, and if I have some time I will try to write a tutorial, just to have an other one on the web.
Special Thanks to:
Rafael Baugis, some of your sources helped me understanding the kernel, and I directly used your sio io sched source. Hope you dont mind.
Btw your kernel is really nice and complete. Difficult to add new features. YOU ARE A CRACK.

KERNEL SOURCE CODE
As prommised, here is the link to my kernel source code.

Please feel free to use it, compile it, use any part you need, use it for study, improve it etc... hope this source may help other kernel devs.

I/O benchmarks are extremely unreliable and can greatly vary with the same configuration.
Hi all.
First of all i wanted to thankyou so much for the comments and the interest you have taken for, testing and benchmarking my kernel.
Please let me know any issues you find to keep on fixing and improving.
Please notice Rafaels kernel is uv for all freqs, mine has normal freqs.
Rafael as i assume is looking for batery performance vs performance, mine is based in performance vs batery.
What is best? Bothe of them depending on usage you want.
Rafael kernel has very good performance even with the uv. I dev the kernel slightly different to his one.
Why? Whats the meaning of having 2 kernels that are the same?
Be different my friend ))))
Thank you so much for the benchmark and taking your time and interest in testing. People like you motivate devs to keep on working

Keep Goin' with your work I'll try make more test for more GOV and SCHED with different freq to "find" wich is better to safe battery and to gameplay with your kernel and rafaels kernel to find more differents . I'll add all results in attachmet file
This is your Kernel without splash screen for recoveries
Alucard, man, thankyou.
Great job, to be honest with the lack of time i have im not sure if i would have ever posted it.
I answered your priv. Did you receive it? Did it solve the problem? Just let me know.
Thank you. Good job for the recovery

I didn't edit the ramdisk yet, but i will add init.d support in next version.

Oh, then I'll wait for next version before I add it in my ROM
Anyways, this is great! Great to have yet another developer in the DX section
And we finally got a custom kernel for DesX.
Thanks man, added to Index.

Not yet. But i can make overclocked kernel later. But i think 1ghz dual-core is enough for ics.
I think that greater number governors and schedulers are more important than overclocking, you're 100% right with speed for ICS and even JB.

not a kernel feature requires correct media codecs.
Edit : @Dev congrats First custom kernel for this device(max safe oc for this processor is 1.2 GHz just saying) also a request can you add ROW IO sheduler heard its better than SIO also PegasusQ/D governer.In next release.
Thank you.

my work on cm10 boot was stuck on ramdisk issue. i posted a last_kmsg which showed that kernel booted but ramdisk had issues.
i dont understand kernel issues very well, but hope to get it working now that you are here. i'll ask for ur help from time to time.
plus, i want to take permission to use ur kernel tree for building cm9/10 from source. dont wanna use prebuilt now.
last thing, what is the difference between an ics n jb kernel, exactly what needs to be modified to make it work?....
thanks

Qualcomm S4 Play is made for speed 1-1.2GHz, and that's the safe range of frequencies. Remember that this is ARM-cortex A5 not Krait, and more than 1.2 can really harm it.

I know ramdisk, but let me rephrase my question, what exactly (in ramdisk) needs to be modified and how, to make it work on jb. Anyways, i'm still figuring things out by trial n error so progress is very very slow. The logcat was the only thing i ever got to which showed the cm10 logo as well but then, everything MESSED up. Havent been able to replicate that result since.

The difference isn't just in ics and jb. the difference is in cm and sense ramdisk too. I don't know what need modify yet, but i will start the work with cm later when i have enough free time.

my bad edited.seems mixed it up.
So happy to hear such good news for the DesireX! Finally the developing for this device is becoming richer first of all, thank you for this custom kernel and thanks nexus prime for his effort to port the CM series I'm not an expert but yeah, sense and AOSP/AOKP Roms need different kernels. To learn more I think that Dennis Rassmann (the creator of the famous Bricked kernel series) or faux can answer your question about ramdisk, if you contact them (they are really kind and gentle). After that I would like to ask if it's possible to add the useful sweep2wake function to this kernel, in future. For now, good work guys, never give up!!!
