Dorimanx Kernel for SGII-I9100
Supporting 5 ROM Platforms!
My kernel was based on SiyahKernel 4.0 long time ago in other realty,
Kernel Tree is 3.12.rc6-R101, + Samsung JB updates + my tweaks and lots of tuning!
Thank you Gokhanmoral for your great work in the past!
Warning!!!
Do not install this kernel on any Android version lower than 4.1.Y
Do a Nandroid Backup of your ROM before first try it! just in case
Constant OC will drain more battery! use low speeds on screen off! min 200/100 max 800
CPU will shutdown in case of over-volt or under-volt so be careful
I'm no responsible for any hardware damage or system corruption that can happen after using this kernel,
you are using this kernel from your own will and accept any responsibility by using it.
If you install this kernel your warranty will be void!
Of course you can be relaxed, I'm trying every release on my phone several hours before of release it so,
if something wrong, i will get the damage first, you get a tested and tuned working kernel...
« Thread rules
« Which kind of posts are allowed in this thread?
Report of bugs after test it personally and including the proper log (Please refer to the Voku's guide of How to report bugs for further information about logs.)
Feedback that could genuinely helps to the development of the kernel, for example tests of a new feature including a complete explanation, documentation and results.
Requests of new features for the next versions of the kernel with the proper explanation of why you expect to see it and why do you think that will be an improve to the kernel.
« Which kind of posts are not allowed here and belongs only to the discussion thread?
Battery life related, which include: Discussion of battery life, statistics of your battery life, screenshots about your configuration, your configuration itself (with the intention of help another users)
Reports of SOD if you undervolt / overclock your phone
General discussion about settings of the kernel, which include: Governors, schedulers, I/O, dual-boot, etc.
Requests of new features for the next versions of the kernel without the proper explanation of why you expect to see it and why you think that will be an improve to the kernel.
Bug reports with the proper attachments like logcat and kernel log (This is the exception, you can post it here and in the development thread, again, only with the log attached, otherwise the report will be ignored), please refer to the voku's guide of How to report bugs for further information about logs.
Deep sleep issues. Mostly of this issues are not kernel dependent, the rogue apps cause wakelocks and other weird behavior so, the first suggestion will be go to the BBS (Better Battery Stats) thread, install the app, and drop the log in there but as complement you can expose your issue here.

Kernel 5.84
*VOKU and me, we restored function that check DATA + CACHE file system before boot, for errors and damaged blocks and more.
it's can be requested for one time run by user via extweaks misc tab.
DO NAN DROID BACKUP VIA RECOVERY BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT TO USE IT! (if your phone will not boot, and you don't have backup, don't blame me for that)
If your data has allot of corrupted files. then first boot with this kernel will take longer! do not panic. let it work.
no more than 10MIN, if still no boot, then you need to restore your nand backup and never use this function!
your hardware is not ready for DATA partition clean up. forget it.
you will get new file /log-data and /log-cache
after boot you can check if you had any errors in data or cache.
To activate just "push the ATOMIC button " or push again to ABORT!
function will work after reboot, and never again, till requested by user.
If you do nan droid backup and then restore it, you restore all the errors and junk with it. (just for the info)
Goals for next builds:
Debug and find more code errors! (always something new)
Add cool features and tweaks
Extend battery life.
Boost performance.
« Installation
Download the file
Place it on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Flash the file
Reboot
In case of a new installation on a non rooted or non recovery device:
You can Download ODIN 3.04 attached to page.
Reboot to Download mode (Hold Power + Home + Vol down, then vol up when you see the download menu)
Connect USB, wait until the drivers be installed
Install kernel via ODIN, choosing the option PDA, search for the file that you downloaded and push start
If all going fine the phone will reboot and you done

GESTURES!
Here you can download the app to set the gesture_set.sh script to make your own gestures.
*Added gestures script that connected with cortex and can be managed by user and system in harmony!
The script is located at /data/gestures_set.sh do not move it, if you have already any gestures scripts in init.d delete them and move your custom stuff to this script.
It will work with the screen on, and be shut on screen off, to get rid of one more loop that wait forever, we dont need it on screen off! So i give you 5 preconfigured gestures! max supported is 10! max finger touches supported also 10.
Script will be copied to data if not exist on boot, if exist then, nothing. You can shut this function in STweaks or restore to default gestures if you mess with it
On restore you will get backup of your current running file at /data/gestures_set.sh.bkp + gesture_set.sh.sec just in case.
PICK FOUND IN GOOGLE! It's not me
I am here for you so, ask, debug and comment!
Help me to make this kernel as good as possible!

Here I will post about things that exist in kernel.
First of all here are some guides made by VOKU also developer for this kernel.
Android: How to report bugs
How to use "ADB" - Command Line Tool
You get ZRAM SWAP.
In short, it's compressed RAM, that by using our mighty CPU compress 150MB of Real RAM into 300MB ZRAM!
This is simple math:
we have 848MB RAM, + 300ZRAM - 150 Needed for ZRAM = 1GB RAM
You can see it work by entering terminal app, or connection by ADB
And type:
free
you will see this..
Code:
[email protected]:/ # free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 848164 801800 46364 0 13456
-/+ buffers: 788344 59820
Swap: 292968 23420 269548
in SWAP filed you see it exist and works!
Also there is one more advanced check
type:

==================================================================
Touch Recovery:
Made by ELITE DEVELOPER Gokhanmoral!
I have added tweaks and my configurations.
You can move in menu by finger, and by pushing arrows at the bottom, also hard keys work.
You can have 2 ROMS installed in one phone
See menu and check for full instruction on Developer Thread!
You can backup and restore / format / mount / install from ZIP / or from zImage!
You can set / reset your kernel profiles
there are 3:
Battery saver: reduced performance, but long battery life.
Default: normal performance, normal battery life
Performance: Boosted allot for performance, but faster drain of battery.
In order to use performance profile and not to drain your battery too much,
you need to set profiles in any app for CPU tweaking, that can give you profiles for:
Screen ON
Screen OFF
ON CALL
ON LOW Battery.
For screen ON you can use Full OC (200-1500) and have fun.
On Screen OFF: use 200-800/1000 speed
On Call use: 200-800 to save power.
On low battery use 200-1000/800/500 as you like..
================================================
You get tuned SQLite for CM9 or PURE ICS ROMS.
Its set to reduce the "sync command" when writing and reading tables in apps and system data.
So it's will "sync" on finish write, and not every small operation that its doing.
By this, read/write ( I/O) performance boosted allot!
If you install any other kernel after my, the sqlite will remain in ROM till ROM will be replaced.
================================================
More to be added later.

Kernel 1.0 -> 5.2
Code:
*Restored lot's of code that i and voku ported, to restore stability, much from that code was exp, so it's moved to EXP branch, i will test it offline.
*Changes to cortex for stability, see git.
*Messed with profiles save, should be ok now.
*Improved stability!
*Improved performance!
*Updated to 3.0.38!
*Fixed GPS
*Added wifi supplicant tuning to extweaks and to cortex.
*Added FIX for Korean GPS
*Added BT fix for SAMMY 4.0.4 ROMS by Gokhanmoral! TNX!
*More code porting for better deepsleep! and network fixes.
*Tuned hyper gov and renamed to HYPER!
*Updated to Samsung Update 5 + 6
*Lots of changes to TVOUT driver, it's may now work on custom roms!
*Removed ondemand, HYPER is the same gov but more advanced!
*Fixed intellidemand now it's stable.
*Ported more code fixes from 3.5-rc7
*Added new tweaks in extweaks and converted many to checkboxes.
*More patches to WIFI driver.
*Battery life improved allot! thanks to code changes that put more drivers to sleep!
*Removed KSM and ZCACHE from config, ZCACHE is damaged after merging with kernel 3.5-rc7 and KSM eat battery and dont really help. no big change in performance, still fast and smooth. (zcache no longer used in 3.x.x so we disable it too)
*Kernel is stable! 2 days with full cortex and performance profile.
*Updated to 3.0.37!
*I have ported lots of code changes from kernel 3.5-rc7 (about 2000+ code lines changed)
all about file system and cache memory and compression.
*VOKU has ported lots of new code for process control and kill + memory control. from 3.1.Y
*Fixed wakeup booster, it's more smart!, now i boost the freq to max but with your GOV not with performance, and add +25mV to all steps for time that wakeup booster works, then it's will set speed to normal and reduce voltage by -25 and all will be as you set.
*Cleaned code from unused functions.
*Extended light sensor and battery sensor pulling time, to reduce battery use, and CPU use (done by voku)
*Tuned voltage for HIGH steps 1000 --> 1500 added more +25mV each. for stability.
*Fixed the Touch keys timeout stuck at 5 sec. now should obey your settings.
*Added check if cortex background process is OFF or ON for real.
*Added new GOVs intellidemand and wheatley they are good for battery save, and can be fast if tuned via setcpu app! or they SLOW by default but very smart.
*Fixed all GOVS code about idle time statistics and wait for IDLE, should help reduce battery drain.
*Restored some define values to default, this small things can make big problems, we made some changes to them without fully understanding if it's OK or may damage some thing, like front camera!
*Kernel size is FULL, 8.10MB so very soon i will have to cut some tuning to gain more room for code changes...
*Fixed BLN still ON after main BLN switch off!
*Fixed small bug in kernel optimization.
*Tuned brightness for simple auto brightness (modded by VOKU)
*Improved stability and performance.
*File system corruption protection. by using FSYNC function to sync all changes to file system more often.
Added extweaks MISC option to disable the FSYNC to get little more performance, but reduce to less safe from damage file system (DEFAULT for all KERNELS!) this function is external! option will be updated only on reboot! not as you set it.
*Removed cortex background process for default and battery profiles, so user can use it or not. see extweaks, (without cortex, wake up booster + sleep gov change + dynamic GOV modding will not work!) for some ROMS, it's GOOD! since they get SOD all day with cortex ON, so try without, if OK, try with, if OK, have fun, if SOD, disable again.
It's ON for performance profile!
*Battery life improved.
*Added code fix that reduce CPU usage on idle to 1~15% on 100Mhz! was 15~30% now more battery will be saved.
*Rebuilded the root add/remove now it's used as buttons. install , remove , check
*Retuned Touch screen CODE, screen will not stuck now, 70% of SOD, not really stuck the phone, it's only the screen stuck! via adb i see that all OK! and system working as was, so now problem is fixed!
*New code fix for WIFI, now if not used and disabled in ROM, driver will cut power to WIFI chip! till now it's was still idle and drained power. not any more
*Finally i made my kernel STABLE! no more SOD and great battery life!
I have reverted from Linaro 12.06 GCC 4.7.1 builder to Android GCC 4.3 builder
that used to build all ROM and Default kernels!
So no more SOD! and battery is 1.1%/h -15mA :)
*Added more fixes to code from FLUXI kernel, TNX Myfluxi!
*Set 15 CPU freq steps for all profiles and removed settings to change it, there are many code trigers that depend on 15 freq steps, so best to have all for all profiles, then reduce the MAX freq to what needed, (already set)
*if you have added any INIT.D scripts that mess with my settings, REMOVED THEM, then test my kernel,
For some phones to low settings will always kill the phone,
I am asked all people that post INIT.D scripts in this thread, STOP/REMOVE. keep them to your self. thanks.

Fixed BLN test button.
cpu tab:
SWITCH to turn on/off wakeup booster and set the boost delay!
*Reverted last USB code update from NOTE, found that driver stuck after long charge and we can get to storage via USB, we have SG3 driver, so to mix them probably bad idea,

*Added new button at extweaks for checking current gps zone config.
*if you like to fix permissions, just push the button at extweaks misc and turn off the screen! fix will begin instantly! if you really need the phone, use it, but best to let it work top 2~3 min, depending on amount of mess and installed apps, it's done my 450 apps in 2 min :)
*we tuned profiles and voku added new stuff to conservative gov! so it's now the most saving battery gov! try it only for deepsleep (screen of gov)
it's slow, but this is what we need! less activity more battery!
*Vibrate should be OK now.
*now if phone is over 50c heat, and you turn off and on the screen. it's will auto drop to 1Ghz and to hotplug gov to cool off..
after temp will drop, and you turn screen on/off all your extweaks settings will be active again! so if was oc to max then you get it back :)

so its was to big to fit the boot partition, i had to move the modules out of kernel.
so from version 2.3 you cant update via tar and odin.
so use recovery only.
or update the supplied modules to /system/lib/modules/
if you install via recovery, nothing needs to be done.
in case of emergency use 1.1 kernel in tar, then go to recovery and update to 2.X :)

*Added fix for cpu stats and stalls(hangs).
*New WIFI driver + lots of changes to it already.
*support for NTT-Docomo variant (you will need to “echo 16 > /proc/sys/kernel/rom_feature_set” to get gps working.

Information Page
ZRAM (aka CompCache aka RAMZSwap)
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 3.0.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.

# ==============================================================
# Logic Explanations
#
# This script will manipulate all the system / cpu / battery behavior
# Based on chosen EXTWEAKS profile+tweaks and based on SCREEN ON/OFF state.
#
# When User select battery/default profile all tuning will be toward battery save!
# But user loose performance -20% and get more stable system and more battery left.
#
# When user select performance profile, tuning will be to max performance on screen ON!
# When screen OFF all tuning switched to max power saving! as with battery profile,
# So user gets max performance and max battery save but only on screen OFF.
#
# This script change governors and tuning for them on the fly!
# Also switch on/off hotplug CPU core based on screen on/off.
# This script reset battery stats when battery is 100% charged.
# This script tune Network and System VM settings and ROM settings tuning.
# This script changing default MOUNT options and I/O tweaks for all flash disks and ZRAM.
#
# TODO: add more description, explanations & default vaules ...
#
# ==============================================================
# Explanations
# ==============================================================
#
# oom_kill_allocating_task: If this is set to zero, the OOM killer will scan through the entire tasklist and select a task based on heuristics to kill.
#
# This normally selects a rogue memory-hogging task that frees up a large amount of memory when killed.
# If this is set to non-zero, the OOM killer simply kills the task that triggered the out-of-memory condition.
# This avoids the expensive tasklist scan.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task;
# dirty_expire_centisecs: This tunable is used to define when dirty data is old enough to be eligible for writeout by the pdflush daemons.
#
# It is expressed in 100'ths of a second. Data which has been dirty in memory for longer than this interval will be written
# out next time a pdflush daemon wakes up.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs;
# dirty_writeback_centisecs: The pdflush writeback daemons will periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk.
#
# This tunable expresses the interval between those wakeups, in 100'ths of a second.
# Setting this to zero disables periodic writeback altogether.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs;
# drop_caches: Writing to this will cause the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory, causing that memory to become free.
#
# To free pagecache:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
#
# To free dentries and inodes:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
#
# To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# page-cluster: page-cluster controls the number of pages which are written to swap in a single attempt. The swap I/O size.
#
# It is a logarithmic value - setting it to zero means "1 page", setting it to 1 means "2 pages", setting it to 2 means "4 pages", etc.
# The default value is three (eight pages at a time). There may be some small benefits in tuning this to
# a different value if your workload is swap-intensive. (default 3)
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster;
# laptop_mode: laptop_mode is a knob that controls "laptop mode". When the knob is set, any physical disk I/O
#
# (that might have caused the hard disk to spin up, see /proc/sys/vm/block_dump) causes Linux to flush all dirty blocks.
# The result of this is that after a disk has spun down, it will not be spun up anymore to write dirty blocks,
# because those blocks had already been written immediately after the most recent read operation.
# The value of the laptop_mode knob determines the time between the occurrence of disk I/O and when the flush is triggered.
# A sensible value for the knob is 5 seconds. Setting the knob to 0 disables laptop mode.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode;
# rr_interval: rr_interval or "round robin interval". This is the maximum time two SCHED_OTHER (or SCHED_NORMAL, the common scheduling policy)
#
# tasks of the same nice level will be running for, or looking at it the other way around, the longest duration two tasks
# of the same nice level will be delayed for. When a task requests cpu time, it is given a quota (time_slice) equal to the
# rr_interval and a virtual deadline, while increasing it will improve throughput, but at the cost of worsening latencies.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/kernel/rr_interval;
# dirty_background_ratio: Contains, as a percentage of total system memory, the number of pages at which the pdflush background writeback daemon will
# start writing out dirty data.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio;

# ===============
#
# Memory-Settings
#
# ===============
# swappiness: Swappiness is a parameter which sets the kernel's balance between reclaiming pages from the page cache and swapping process memory.
#
# The default value is 60. If you want kernel to swap out more process memory and thus cache more file contents increase the value.
# Otherwise, if you would like kernel to swap less decrease it. A value of 0 means "do not swap unless out of free RAM",
# a value of 100 means "swap whenever possible".
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
# overcommit_memory: Controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
#
# 0 - Heuristic overcommit handling.
# Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system.
# It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage.
# root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
# 1 - Always overcommit.
# Appropriate for some scientific applications.
# 2 - Don't overcommit.
# The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a
# configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use,
# in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but
# will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
# overcommit_ratio: Percentage of physical memory size to include in overcommit calculations.
#
# Memory allocation limit = swapspace + physmem * (overcommit_ratio / 100)
#
# swapspace = total size of all swap areas
# physmem = size of physical memory in system
# vfs_cache_pressure: Controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory which is used for caching of directory and inode objects.
#
# At the default value of vfs_cache_pressure = 100 the kernel will attempt to reclaim dentries and inodes at a "fair" rate with respect
# to pagecache and swapcache reclaim. Decreasing vfs_cache_pressure causes the kernel to prefer to retain dentry and inode caches.
# Increasing vfs_cache_pressure beyond 100 causes the kernel to prefer to reclaim dentries and inodes.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
# min_free_kbytes: This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free.
#
# The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved
# free pages based proportionally on its size.
#
# echo XXX > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes;
# ===============
#
# I/O-Settings
#
# ===============
# read_ahead_kb: Optimize for read-throughput (cache-value).
#
# example of C-program for finding correct vaules for Linux
# -> http://pastebin.com/Rg6qVJQH
#
# fifo_batch: Controls the maximum number of requests per batch.
#
# This parameter tunes the balance between per-request latency and aggregate
# throughput. When low latency is the primary concern, smaller is better (where
# a value of 1 yields first-come first-served behaviour). Increasing fifo_batch
# generally improves throughput, at the cost of latency variation.
# back_seek_max: This parameter, given in Kbytes, sets the maximum גdistanceג
#
# By default, this parameter is set to 16 MBytes.
# This distance is the amount of space from the current head location to the sectors that are backward in terms of distance.
# This idea comes from the Anticipatory Scheduler (AS) about anticipating the location of the next request.
# This parameter allows the scheduler to anticipate requests in the גbackwardג
nextג
# back_seek_penalty: This parameter is used to compute the cost of backward seeking.
#
# If the backward distance of a request is just (1/back_seek_penalty) from a גfrontג
# the seeking cost of the two requests is considered equivalent and the scheduler will not bias toward one or the other
# (otherwise the scheduler will bias the selection to גfront direction requests).
# Recall, the CFQ has the concept of elevators so it will try to seek in the current direction as much as possible to avoid the latency associated with a seek.
# This parameters defaults to 2 so if the distance is only 1/2 of the forward distance, CFQ will consider the backward request to be close enough
# to the current head location to be גcloseג
# fifo_expire_async: This particular parameter is used to set the timeout of asynchronous requests.
#
# Recall that CFQ maintains a fifo (first-in, first-out) list to manage timeout requests.
# In addition, CFQ doesnגt check the expired requests from the fifo queue after one timeout is dispatched (i.e. there is a delay in processing the expired request).
# The default value for this parameter is 250 ms. A smaller value means the timeout is considered much more quickly than a larger value.
# fifo_expire_sync: This parameter is the same as fifo_expire_async but for synchronous requests.
#
# The default value for this parameter is 125 ms.
# If you want to favor synchronous request over asynchronous requests, then this value should be decreased relative to fifo_expire_asynchronous.
# slice_sync: Remember that when a queue is selected for execution, the queues IO requests are only executed for a certain amount of time (the time_slice) before switching to another queue.
#
# This parameter is used to calculate the time slice of the synchronous queue.
# The default value for this parameter is 100 ms, but this isnגt the true time slice.
# Rather the time slice is computed from the following: time_slice = slice_sync + (slice_sync / 5 * 4 ג io_priority)).
# If you want the time slice for the synchronous queue to be longer (perhaps you have more synchronous operations), then increase the value of slice_sync.
# slice_async: This parameter is the same as slice_sync but for the asynchronous queue.
#
# The default is 40 ms. Notice that synchronous operations are preferred over asynchronous operations.
# slice_asyn_rq: This parameter is used to limit the dispatching of asynchronous requests to the device request-queue in queueגs slice time.
#
# This limits the number of asynchronous requests are executed (dispatched).
# The maximum number of requests that are allowed to be dispatched also depends upon the io priority.
# The equations for computing the maximum number of requests is, max_nr_requests = 2 * (slice_async_rq + slice_async_rq * (7 ג io_priority)). The default for slice_async_rq is 2.
# slice_idle: This parameter is the idle time for the synchronous queue only.
#
# In a queueגs time slice (the amount of time operations can be dispatched), when there are no requests in the synchronous queue CFQ will not switch to another queue
# but will sit idle to wait for the process creating more requests. If there are no new requests submitted within the idle time, then the queue will expire.
# The default value for this parameter is 8 ms. This parameters can control the amount of time the schedulers waits for synchronous requests.
# This can be important since synchronous requests tend to block execution of the process until the operation is completed. Consequently,
# the IO scheduler looks for synchronous requests within the idle window of time that might come from a streaming video application or something that needs synchronous operations.
# quantum: This parameter controls the number of dispatched requests to the device queue, request-device (i.e. the number of requests that are executed or at least sent for execution).
#
# In a queueגs time slice, a request will not be dispatched if the number of requests in the device request-device exceeds this parameter.
# For the asynchronous queue, dispatching the requests is also restricted by the parameter slice_async_rq. The default for this parameter is 4.
# ===============
#
# BFQ-Settings
#
# ===============
# timeout_sync, timeout_async: The maximum amount of disk time that can be given to a task once it has been selected for service, respectively for synchronous and asynchronous queues.
#
# It allows the user to specify a maximum slice length to put an upper bound to the latencies imposed by the scheduler.
# max_budget: The maximum amount of service, measured in disk sectors, that can be provided to a queue once it is selected (of course within the limits of the above timeouts).
#
# According to what we said in the description of the algoritm, larger values increase the throughput for the single tasks and for the system,
# in proportion to the percentage of sequential requests issued. The price is increasing the maximum latency a request may incur in.
# The default value is 0, which enables auto-tuning: BFQ tries to estimate it as the maximum number of sectors that can be served during timeout_sync.
# max_budget_async_rq: In addition to the max_budget, limit, async queues are served for a maximum number of requests, after that a new queue is selected.
# low_latency: If equal to 1 (default value), interactive and soft real-time applications are privileged and experience a lower latency.

[21st Feb][Rc-4][JB][3.0.65][CWM] SIRI KERNEL ★ Making your S Advance Fly! :D ★
Hello,
So I am finally here! As I promised, I'll be hacking Kernels when Jellybean is out!
READ THE OP AND EVERYTHING PROPERLY BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS!
Just a small introduction:
Through this Kernel, my aim is to provide a fast yet bloat-free user experience. Hence , I have decided against adding 30 different governers or 10 different I/O Schedulers. I like to keep stuff neat and minimalistic. Big thanks to Cocafe, Diego and Shaan for their testing, help and especially Cocafe for whatever patches I have used from his Kernel and for helping me out with the recovery.

3] Configurable Tweaks- You can choose to enable/disable some of my Kernel implementations.
EASIER WAY TO TWEAK! READ THIS !!
OR
[*] Sound Boost-
By enabling sound boost, you can get a considerable improvement in the overall headset volume output.
Connect your headphones/earphones, then enable it with the below command.
Code:
echo "1" > /sys/kernel/sound_control/sound_boost
[B]To Disable, echo "0" .[/B]
[*] Touch Boost Feature-
Touchboost feature , when enabled boosts the CPU speed on touch input.
So, whenever you touch the screen or are scrolling through, the CPU speed will get boosted(locked) to a set frequency.
This could possibly improve the gaming performance.
Code:
echo "1" > /sys/kernel/touchboost/enable
[B]To Disable, echo "0" .[/B]
After enabling it. You can tweak some more stuff.
Boost Frequency: Change the frequency of CPU boost. Default is 800Mhz.
Code:
echo "1000" > /sys/kernel/touchboost/freq_boost
[B]Above command sets it to 1Ghz boost. You can try 200, 400, 800 which are the supported values.[/B]
Boost Timeout Time to keep CPU Boosted. Whenever the timeout ends, the CPU will be restored back to normal. Default is 0.
Max supported is 10 seconds. To change the value.
Code:
echo "3000" > /sys/kernel/touchboost/timeout
[B]Above command sets it to 1 seconds. Value is in milli seconds, 1000 milliseconds = 1 second.[/B]
[*] Enable Logger (Logcat)
Logger is disabled by default to improve performance.
However, app debugging won't work. Even the logcat command won't work.
Code:
insmod /lib/modules/logger.ko
[B]To enable Android logger.[/B]
Code:
rmmod logger.ko
[B]To disable Android logger.[/B]
[*] Fsync On/Off
Fsyncs are enabled by default in my Kernel for safety purposes.
You can choose to disable it-
Effects of disabling Fsyncs:
Pros:
When Fsyncs are disabled, the Filesystem I/O operations are reduced. This could result in a possible increase in I/O benchmarks.
Other advantages could be increase in device responsiveness,performance and battery improvements since the disk I/O is reduced.
Cons:
It can cause filesystem corruption if there is a system freeze. Could have other side effects too.
Code:
echo "0" > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled ("1" to enable, default is enabled)
[*] Charger Current Control-
You can increase the charger input current for fast charge.
The default for USB is 500mA and AC Charger is 600mA.
Max supported value is 900mA for safety!
You can try values between 300-900mA.
Example-
Code:
echo "700" > /sys/class/misc/charge_control/usb_current
echo "700" > /sys/class/misc/charge_control/ac_current
[*] Mali L2 Cache Max Reads-
Default: 28KB
You can try 48.
-> You can try other values.
Example-
Code:
echo xx > /sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_l2_max_reads
[*] TCP Congestion Avoidance-
You can now change the TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithm used in the Kernel as per the one which works best for you!
Personally, I prefer using westwood as I get better speeds with it. But you are free to try others too.
Default is cubic.
Other supported ones in my Kernel are westwood, veno, vegas, illinios.
You could read more about it here.
Example-
Code:
echo "westwood" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control
Choose the options and configs that work best for you!
Settings get resetted on reboot.
For permanent settings, add the commands to a text file and push them to /system/etc/init.d .
This will preserve the settings every time you reboot.

So wifi is broken.
CIFS I will build into the Kernel, Module is too big. Btw is that a ram console dump?

That's the Ace 2 right? I am waiting for Samsung to drop Jellybean, pointless working on old kernel when we are going to get something better. I will merge both the sources then.
Sent from hell..!
Adi ..
I am some how not confident of samsung releasing the new JB in november.
I am no techie. But i have a question.. I was using Spice mi 410 and developers have ported cm10 on 2.6.35 kernel yes with some bugs but it still working smoothly ..
and several versions of ICS
Is it not possible to do the same on our device i know JB is kernel version 3.0

Thought of waiting for Samsung to drop JB.
Adi, i know you. Why don't you help me port CM.
Besides, even i am thinking of delaying CM.
The devs at Samsung know how to clusterfck the device. Waiting for JB now. I was going to start working on OC, but i see you have already begun.
I will fork your repo and look into it now.
Cheerz..

I thought its pointless to waste time on GB (Linux 2.6.35) now. Samsung would surely release a better Kernel source (3.0 or maybe 3.1.10) . Plus I don't have the device with my so my focus is presently on other Projects at the moment(i9003). PM me your gtalk , we can continue out chat there
So this Project is on a hold.

Hello everybody, here is my first Custom Kernel for Galaxy Ace 2.
Features
TWRP Recovery
22 Governor
5 I/O Scheduler
Init.d Script Supported
Custom Bootanimation
CIFS Supported
zRAM Supported
SWAP Supported
NTFS Supported
Mali Tweak
Readahead Limit
LZMA Compression
Use SLQB Memory Allocator
Use JRCU
Fsync Controler
LMK Tweak
Governor:
Code:
wheatley, lazy, intellindemand, sakuractive, scary, interactive, smartassV2,
ondemandx, conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, pegasusq, lionheart,
performance, interactivex, hotplug, brazilianwax, minmax, lagfree, savagezen,
and smartass
I/O Scheduler
Code:
noop, deadline, cfq, vr, and sio
Init.d Script:
*requirement : busybox
*recommended : lastest busybox
Custom Bootanimation:
* Put the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with right permissions.
* If there isn't any custom bootanimation, kernel will load Samsung official bootanimation.
CIFS support
i put cifs.ko in "/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/fs/cifs"
not be loaded by default for power saving
zRam:
* zRAM must be enabled by script/command.
* put this script in init.d
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# enable zRAM script
# zRAM Swap Disk Size: 64MB(64*1024*1024)
disksize=67108864;
# Set Size to system
echo $disksize > /sys/block/zram0/disksize;
# Enable Swap (Need BusyBox installed)
busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0;
busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0;
SWAP:
*SWAP must use with a SWAP partition in sdcard.
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
NTFS:
* Need a binary file "ntfs-3g". download here
* I put it in the flashable zip already.
Mali Tweak:
* Increased L2 cache max reads ( 28k -> 48k )
* Increased OS memory for buffer. ( 6m -> 10m )
* Decreased Job runtime (5000)
* Increased Mali Mem ([email protected] -> [email protected])
Readahead Limit
Code:
Limit default readahead size for small devices.
disk size readahead size
1M 8k
4M 16k
16M 32k
64M 64k
256M 128k

64G 2048k
256G 4096k
Fsync Controler
Enable/disable single file/filesystem sync.
/sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
enable = 1, disable = 0 (default enabled)
example init.d script :
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "0" > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
Disabling single file/filesystem sync increases the risk of a data loss on a crash/freeze and potentially can lead to other side-effects.

ok, after i test flash my kernel when i use Kyrillos rom and twrp 2.3.1.1 i dont have any problem.
i flash kyriloss rom, i flash my old kernel (twrp 2.3.1.1), and then i restore my data.
after that I flash my new kernel (twrp 2.2.1) and i dont have any problem.
i use Odin3 v3.04 to flash my kernel via odin
try to use dd cmd (dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15)

TODO:
1.Update to latest kernel version
2.Add/Remove governor
4.Fsync control
5.Add more TCP congestions
3.More features
HOW TO:
Here are some intructions/tips about how to play with the kernel.
Terminal is needed.
If you want to change the values,it needs su permission.
If you get 'Permisson denied',you need su permisson.
If the devices lost responses,hold power button 8s to reboot.
You can cd to the folder first,then do echos.
( CPU Freqs )
With DVFS,we cannot tweak min/max scale freqs via apps like SetCPU or nofrill.
but there are two ways you can change cpu freq:
by using this app
[APP][ROOT][4.0+] Performance Control - Open Source
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
by using terminal
cd /sys/power
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For example: set 800Mhz as max limited
echo 800000 > cpufreq_max_limit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* When you switch on/off,power saving mode,this tweak will be overrided.
* If you want it to be permanet edit 05exp file in init.d.
No-fills CPU shows a wrong freqs
This is NOT issue. No-fills will show you Dynamic Min/Max scaling freqs,DVFS(dynamic voltage and frequency system) will adjust Min/Max freq according to system load.
Open SetCPU,it shows you real freqs.Or check sysfs directly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ABBamp Audio
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why do i call it `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
Quote:
/sys/kernel/abbamp
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Use RootExplorer to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View(cat) these files, most of them will give you useful infomation about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abbamp first then do echos, will be more convenient.
[AnaGain3] (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disable tweaks:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Write both left and right channels:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not Killable Processes
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
[APP][ROOT][4.0+] Performance Control - Open Source
Logcat
I have made android logger(logcat) as module to free more RAM.
Create a new init.d script:
Quote:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then you can use logcat command.
EGL Driver
To use Mali hardware egl driver only:
Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg

0 0 android
0 1 mali

0 0 mali
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Init.d script
Please install busybox in system first
I recommend you install busybox via apps
Create a new folder named 'init.d' in /system/etc
Set the permisson of init.d foler to 0777(rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Set the owner to 0.0 (root root)
Put some scripts (any name you like) in init.d folder with permisson 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Scripts with right permisson will be runned when system boots.
zRAM/SWAP
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100 mb.
Setup disksize first: (example: 96mb= 96×1024×1024)
echo 100663296 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
* Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* We can get other info in its sysfs
[SWAP]
1. Format/resize external SDCard via computer first.
Enable:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Using a FILE as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)

UKSM
UKSM is more advanced than KSM algorithm which is developed by Chinese.
UKSM is faster 20x than KSM, and it has been disabled by default.
Here is a document about HOW-TO use UKSM in its WebSite.

* If feel laggy, try to disable UKSM.

I will definitely test and report. You look pretty good at what you do. I like that you are thorough to explain what you have included.

I see in your changelog you've changed RAM amount, AFAIK our GPU uses 120 MB of RAM. I wonder if it would be worth it to downgrade RAM amount for GPU to like 100? Or even 80 MB of RAM, so our system would have more, like 400 MB.

I have tried allocating 400MB to system and it worked but hd video playback doesn't work and games start to fc.so I set it to 390MB which is stable and doesn't have side effect.

Yes its working pretty good..
The games seem more responsive dnt knw why maybe a placebo effect..
But I guess u will have to work on it to tweak for gaming..
Hve tested it for hardly some time so cant say abt battery..
But this kernel looks really promising..
Keep up the development..
Good work..
