NOTE: Changelog information for builds prior to v3.2 was somehow deleted while the thread was closed (at my request...) for a short while.
I will try to recover the lost changelog information and add it as I can.
Changelog:
v5.0 (in development)
Updated ROM compatibility - now works on all current ROMs
Fixed SoD when using ZZMOOVE as sleep governor
Imported the latest Samsung ramdisk files
Fixed an issue where profiles might be reset
- Any further profile issue MUST be due to a ROM or rogue app issue.
- The logs I have seen are indicating that the profile was deleted by something. Kernel is not capable of this...
v4.9
Fixed JB_Sound_Fix on Samsung based ROMs
Fixed a small profile issue
Fixed an issue with CPU grouping
Improved ROM compatibility
Misc fixes & tweaks
New battery profile
New performance profile - Highly recommended! Great performance & very good battery life!
GPIO pin definitions fixed
There's more but I forgot to write it down as I went...
v4.8
Small FileSystem tweak
Improved ROM compatibility
Disabled the boot logo for now
v4.7
Fixed various issues with CM10.1.3 RC2
Sync'd CM10.x init files with CM sources
Set ROOT to default ON for CM10.2
Updated ZZMOOVE to v0.7d
Set default profile sleep scheduler to BFQ
New Battery profile, based on ZZMOOVE v0.7d
New boot logo by Teknodad1974
v4.6
Tuned battery & performance profiles a bit
Tweaked CortexBrain
Fixed a small profile bug
Updated ZZMOOVE governor
-new ZZMOOVE governor is VERY smooth (smoothest gov I have found), uses slightly more battery than Hyper.
v4.5
Nice new boot logo by Teknodad1974
Recovery background remains plain black to make it easier to read recovery text
Fixed a small issue with recovery
Added exFAT support
Updated governors & i/o schedulers
Updated profiles
Updated Stweaks
Added the Dorimanx implementation of CPU Voltage Groups. This will let people see why some phones UV easily and some cannot UV.
v4.4
Added support for Android 4.3
Some code cleanup
Tweaked touchscreen and display to improve smoothness
v4.3
Reverted part of the frequency cleanup as it caused a slight hesitation in the UI
v4.2
Bugfix - corrected CPU frequency table
Boots & settles in much faster now
v4.1
Undervolting has been given a reprive thanks to topiratiko & samprocat
Use UV with CAUTION and expect no support when using UV
CPU frequency table has been tuned down to 6 primary frequencies for efficiency
CPU voltages have been corrected in the profiles to account for the new frequency table
Fixed mic swapping (MicSwap version only, obviously)
Due to the changes made to the CPU frequency table and the CPU voltage table,
it is CRITICAL that you follow the installation instructions exactly as outlined here.
S959G users please ask for assistance from more experienced S959G users
if you need assistance..
PLEASE do not just ignore the need for profile resets!
This version will start off slow (possibly VERY SLOW) and will speed
up as it settles in. First boot can take a LONG time. This is both normal and expected.
v4
Project "SMOOTH UI" is now complete!
You should notice better performance in every way. If not, you're doing something wrong!
Fixed poor performance on Samsung ROMs - they did not like the OOM settings in v3.9 .
Any trouble reports that do not include a logcat will be ignored.
v3.9
New boot logo by Teknodad1974
Corrected the context on the Stweaks->Screen tab
Removed BLN "blink" and "fade" options as they do not work on our phones
Added a new "AJK Tweaked" OOM profile (Stweaks->Memory tab)
Most people will see a nice improvement from the new OOM profile
Slide2wake fix should be functional now
Ad-Block is expanded & updated. This is a complete ad blocking solution now
Ad-Block can be added/removes d in Stweaks->Other
Ad-Block can be updated automatically via setting in Stweaks->Other
v3.8
AKA: THE ONE
Nightmare has been tuned and should be much more stable now
Added ZZMOOVE governor by ZaneZam (a great battery or sleep governor)
New topiratiko tuned profile
MAJOR smoothness improvements made by Project "SMOOTH UI"
Re-added Touchscreen Sensitivity setting in Stweaks
Added touchscreen revision detect button in Stweaks -> Screen

WiFi toggle bug is a thing of the past (has been for weeks now on AJK actually...)
Slide2Wake is now disabled while you are on a call.
New Mali V2 drivers - best graphics performance on the i777.
S4 code implemented for WiFi.
I will have to populate this later as it somehow got removed while
my thread was locked for maintenance.
Some suggested reading:
A Comprehensive (but not by any means definitive) Guide to Wakelocks
Please remember that this kernel was created for my friends & family to use, and I also share it here.
You are not obligated to use it. If you do decide to use this kernel, that does not give you the right to be disrespectful.
Please report any bugs that you find, and be sure to include a last_kmsg and/or logcat...it is impossible to troubleshoot without it.
Reporting something 1 time is sufficient. If someone else has already reported it, you do not need to re-report the same bug.
Remember the 2 primary rules here on XDA are:
1) Be respectful.
2) Use the search functions - both the XDA search and Google.
If you are experiencing issues that no one else is having, then it is not the kernel at fault....
Special thanks to:
Entropy512 (CyanogenMod, kernels, much more for the community)
Gokhanmoral (Siyah Kernel)
Dorimanx (Dorimanx Kernel)
@razen_kain for all the feedback & support (to everyone here)
@mr-cook for all he does for the SGSII community
@topiratiko for his tireless testing, great feedback & support and the topiratiko profile
@4-2ndtwin for his tireless testing, great feedback & support
@samprocat for his tireless testing, great feedback and tremendous support.
And a special thanks to all the donators. Your donations are greatly appreciated!
ROM Devs:
I request that anyone who includes this kernel in a firmware release does the following out of courtesy:
1) Link to this thread
2) Clearly indicate in your firmware changelog which AJK version is included in your firmware release. This lets users identify whether a fix is present in the kernel they're using or not.
Kernel source new repo available here.
Use the "master" branch.
Compiled using the supplied linaro 12.x toolchain.
Touchscreen Tuning process
1. Open ExTweaks
2. Select Screen tab
3. Go to "Batt Move Filter", increase it BY ONE and apply
4. Test it, if it still stutter, increase ONE STEP ONLY and apply
5. Repeat step 4 till the stutter/jitter is gone. Don't set it too high as it'll result the touchscreen capability lost
6. If "Batt Move Filter" is OK without any jitter again, connect your charger and go to "Chrg Move Filter"
7. Repeat step 4 till you satisfied and again: DON'T SET IT TOO HIGH, ONLY INCREASE TILL THE JITTER/STUTTER IS GONE
Do this at your own risk!
If you lost the touch capability caused by too high value then you will need to reset ExTweaks profile in recovery.
I can say its different for each device as the test shown:
-My S2: Batt Filter 16 & Chrg Filter 50, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
-My son's S2: Batt Filter 13 & Chrg Filter 46, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
-My daughter's S2: Batt Filter 14 & Chrg Filter 48, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
A few battery saving tips:
Assuming that you are getting a decent deep sleep % and have no wakelocks, the single biggest way to improve battery life is to reduce the screen brightness.
Go into Stweaks and navigate to the Screen tab, then scroll down til you find GAMMA SHIFT and set this to -10 to -20 .. the darker the screen the better the battery life can be. As a general rule, keep the screen as dark as you can while still having it visible and functional.
Some other battery saving tips would include:
Set Stweaks->CPU->MAX NORMAL FREQUENCY to 800MHz. This works fine on my phone, but some people may need to bump this to 1000MHz for some apps.
Do not use Slide2Wake as this does increase battery consumption by 10% to 20% depending on which touchscreen your device has.
Make sure that you are using ZZMOOVE as your CPU-TUNING (SLEEP) governor as it gets the best deep sleep %.
Use Greenify to Greenify all your apps. This usually makes a noticeable difference.

I am unsure of how a sim-lick can occur due to this.
To be on the safe side, try using the kernel without resetting the profiles. It *might* not cause any issues for you.
Just installed on Shostock3. So far everything works (including BLN!) except screen shot. Home+Power does not take a screen shot.
Will monitor for battery life...

Battery life has been great for the folks who have been testing this kernel for the past 4 to 6 weeks.
Remember that you may need to tweak some settings in Stweaks to get it working in a way that is good for you & your phone.
As for screenshots, try using power + vol down .

Who Should NOT Use This Kernel?
If you are going to use very low voltage settings and complain about having lockups, you SHOULD NEVER use this kernel... just run away! This kernel is just as stable as the stock kernel if you do not modify any settings. Do not blame the kernel if you change the voltage or clock settings. If you do so I will blame your stupidity. I will not remove any feature just because some dumb users select wrong settings. If you are a rookie with an uncontrollable instinct of modifying advanced settings please use speedmod or stock kernel.
This kernel generally contain some experimental code and some of them may be even undocumented. I have different release strategy. I always use the latest version and if I notice any problem I try to fix it. However, I do not use all the features of the phone. So, if you notice any problem please report it. bug reports are welcomed, whining is not.
If you judge a kernel by quadrant score, please, I beg you, don't use this kernel. I don't have enough time nor motivation to answer your questions... Some people got 8000+ quadrant (search the thread) and there is no way you can beat them anyway.. so, go away...
If you are one of those who judges a kernel while sleeping ("oh my god!! lost %1 during sleep"-guy) please use another kernel, sleep and never wake up. it will maximize your battery and minimize the tension in the thread.
If you still believe in battery calibration, discuss it in some thread else. we respect all religions but missionary acts are not welcomed in this thread.
99.9% of the code belong to others. I have some modifications and/or additions to the kernel as C code or scripts but they are so little compared to the original code base. If you think you are better developer than I am, don't waste your time (and mine) as I accept it beforehand so please just go away.
FAQ
Q: Does this kernel support Samsung's ICS leak, CM9 or any ICS edition?
A: No, it does not.
Q: Does this kernel support latest Samsung i9100 ROM?
A: Yes, it does. Unless otherwise stated, you can use this kernel on latest Samsung ROMs (official and leaks). it is tested on 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6.
Q: Can I use this kernel on I9100G?
A: No, you cannot. Only european i9100 models are supported. Also, I compile ntt-docomo version for each release but beta versions do not support gps and digital tv on ntt-docomo devices.
Q: Does this kernel support CM7 or any other AOSP based roms?
A: Yes, but it only support cm7 or miui based roms for now. If you are using another aosp based Rom tell me and I will support it.
Q: Can I use app protectors with this kernel?
A: Yes, you can. Android logger is enabled by default.
Q: Some custom lockscreens or protectors do not work with this kernel. Can you fix it?
A: see the question above.
Q: What is smartassV2 governor?
A: It is a governor to control CPU frequency. This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU but the profile has no upper frequency limit. It tends to stay on lower frequencies when the screen is off and scale up very slowly, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Q: What is the best UV settings?
A: There is nothing as best UV settings. You have to find the best settings for your device for yourself. Start by decreasing 25mV on each freq and decrease it every day until your device becomes unstable.
Q: What can I do to have the best battery life ever?
A: put your phone into airplane mode. if you don't like to do it read the guide below.
Q: Which roms are supported?
A: All android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms are supported. Try the latest version. if you have any problems leave a post to this forum and ask for help.
Q: I get random reboots or freezes. What should I do?
A: Before reporting any problems you have to make sure that you are using stock voltage values. Some phones cannot handle undervolting. Secondly, you have to give details. When did it happen, which rom are you using, can you reproduce it, do you have any custom init scripts which changes kernel parameters such as freq voltage or anything else?
Q: do I need to recalibrate the battery?
A: You don't need to calibrate battery for SGS2. Thanks to Entropy512 to pointing out that our device uses MAX17042 which is specifically designed not to require calibration.
Q: do I need to perform any wipe?
A: no. you don't have to wipe anything. however, try wiping cache and dalvik cache if you have any force closes or any other issues before reporting the issue.
Q: Is the battery life better/worse?
A: maybe... you'll never know if you don't try... People are reporting that they are having the best battery but it may not be the case for your device.
Q: where is the interface to change GPU clock and voltage?
A: There is no GUI (graphical user interface). the interface is used via device files. you have to use init.d scripts to adjust the values. there are some examples in the first post about how to use init.d scripts and gpu voltage/clock interface.
Q: Which governor is the best? Which I/O scheduler is the best?
A: You have to try them and select the one you like. There is a very good explanation about governors and i/o schedulers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242323
Q: My phone doesn't go into deep sleep mode. Why?
A: try to clear cache and dalvik cache by using CWM recovery and make sure that your phone is not connected to a charger. it does not go into deep sleep when it is charging.
Q: Which version is the best?
A: supposedly, the latest version is the best. But if the latest version is beta there may be unstable code in it. testing the beta version and reporting bugs will help me. but it's your choice... try and see... maybe this kernel is not stable for your device at all, who knows... I will not answer any "what is the best?" questions and I kindly ask you not to ask that kind of questions since there is no answer to that.
Q: How does the automatic battery calibration work?
A: Automatic battery calibration feature is removed as it was useless for SGS2.
Q: What is an init.d script?
A:init.d scripts are the scripts which are executed during the boot time. actually, they are meant to initialize and deinitialize system daemons and manage some startup/shutdown tasks. but in android world they are just "autoexec.bat"s. so, it is a mix of rc.d and init.d directories in linux distros. everything in /system/etc/init.d are executed during the booting process. since it is not standard in every android device,some developers choose to execute files starting with "S" and some execute everything. in this kernel, everything in /system/etc/init.d is executed. you can create a script to change, lets say, voltages, schedulers, apply tweaks, run overclocking daemon or run anything else you can imagine.
Q: My phone doesn't go into deep sleep. What is wrong?
A: Make sure that you have cleared cache and dalvik-cache after you install the kernel. Also, reboot once more after the flashing. the phone doesn't go into deep sleep if it is connected to a charger or to a computer. There may be an application running in the background which is preventing deep sleep. In that case you can check which app causing the problem with "BetterBatteryStats" application (search in Google).
Q: I want more info about CPU governors.
A: There is a great post about cpu governors (thanks to droidphile): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339524&postcount=10023
If you still want more info, try them by yourself.
Q: Can I use this kernel with I9100T?
A: Yes, you can. the only difference between I9100 and I9100T is that they have different SAR values.
quick and dirty guide to have less battery drain:
- use 2G-only if you don't need 3G
- monitor programs which cause wake-lock. use betterbatterystats and either uninstall or tweak them
- do not use task killers. see the previous item and find the malicious programs instead of repeatedly killing them.
- do not activate google latitude on maps.
- if you don't need pushmail, uncheck gmail sync and use k-9 mail to pull mail, lets say, every 1 hour or so.
- go to settings / location and security. disable "use wireless networks" and "use gps satellites". enable them when you need them, other than that keep them disabled.
- disabling auto-brightness and using a low brightness level helps. do you know that you can adjust the brightness by swiping your finger across the notification bar? try it...
- using juicedefender may help, but it may also cause more drain. test it yourself.
- if you need more speed than 2.5G (i.e. edge) disable HSDPA (*#301279#, select 2 then select 1). you will have 3G instead of H(SDPA) and I think it is fast enough
- disable fast dormancy. dial *#9900# and disable.
- disable auto sign in for google talk (search for talk in appdrawer and use settings to disable automatic sign in)
- disable samsung update and don't use samsung gadgets if you are not in love with them. (this part may be taken care of the rom developers)
- try several radios. I recommend you to try KE7, KG2 and KH3 and choose the one which suits you best. KG2 seems to be the best for me. however, in terms of battery life, there is not much difference between those three.
- be aware that more you use your phone more the battery drains don't complain like "my battery drains quite fast but I did not use my phone. I only played angry birds for hours without making a single call" or don't expect to have a decent battery life if you use your phone as a computer or download torrents using your phone.
i think i will wait 4 feedback because it's based on u2 source.
But good job anyway
cheers

yes, I know that is why I have asked for patience in OP. If the moderators were a bit more patient maybe I would be using some other kernel and wouldn't bother to compile my own
I've uploaded the recompiled kernel. enjoy.
Salam!
Any benchmarks results sir?

you have to try.
smartassv2 governor with 200-1200mhz setting is very satisfying and the battery lasts at least as long as speedmod-v27 for me.
bfq scheduler maybe
..........will u add it in the next release?
CFQ scheduler really drain too much power.....

I have already added. testing now..
power drain change is not noticable though.
Did you get better battery life than REGEmod-U1?

I haven't tested it, but theoretically smartassv2 governor that I am using in the kernel should give better battery life than ondemand with a little (not even noticable) sacrifice of performance. you don't need to use any setcpu profiles with smartass governors.
test it. it may or may not give better battery life for you.
I will. Thank you.

Changelog:
v0.4.6b: Upped Hotplugging a little. Disabled Static Bus. Changed back/updated to Crypted GPS v3.1 No-SSL. Smooth Scaling Enabled 2/2/2. GPU Thresholds changed to 90/50/90/50. Wifi/Phone Experiments added to bottom of S92init_doh. Should be a faster release without hopefully any additional battery drain.
[*]v0.4.5b: Lowered Hotplugging values. They were fairly ridiculous. Disabled sched_mc, redundant with hotplugging on. Freq_cpu1on back at 600hz. GPU Thresholds changed to 85/70/85/65 (Thanks droidphile). GPUSTAYCOUNT=2 on all. Upped ondemand/down_differential to 10.
[*]v0.4.4b: Changed freq_cpu1on to 800Mhz. Changed GPS Quick Fix to H3llstorm's. Updated Ad Blocking Hosts file. Uncommented Wifi/Phone Experiments in s92init_doh.
[*]v0.4.3: 2.6.13 Siyah Required. Moved most of the tweaks in init_doh to default.profile for the new 2.6.13 SiyahKernel. This will allow you to edit most of this in ExTweaks app. Added 80MB LMK v6 SuperCharger memory tweaks by zepp & Pika. Cleaned out most commented lines in system_tweak, and a couple AOSP issues. Updated ThunderBolt! scripts. Changed hotplug values / GPU steps for hopefully better battery. Changed scheduler to SIO. Choosing a lower minimum brightness for better battery. Commented out Experimental Tweaks in init_doh script.
[*]v0.4.2b: Few build.prop tweaks again, these from ICScrewD. You will see them at the bottom of init_doh under "Latest Experiments". Could cause AOSP issues. Also extracting bolt_scripts to both /emmc/ and /sdcard/, hopefully fixing some peoples complaints about it missing. Overall, just a small update.
[*]v0.4.1b: Deep Sleep Freq set back to 100-800 @ 400mhz bus. If .4.0 is working fine for you, no need to update.
[*]v0.4.0b: Deep Sleep Freq set to 100-500Mhz and bus @ 133Mhz (This could cause SoD's, let me know). Set Governor to Ondemand (Good Battery Life with Moderate Use), tweaked ondemand towards Battery Saving. Fixed 100Mhz mV to 925 (Instead of 920). Changed GPS fix to Crypted's patch (experiment). Back to 3 step GPU (100/160/[email protected]/850/900mV). 1000Mhz bus set back to 266Mhz.
Q: Where is my init.d folder? A: On your main storage. "/system/etc/init.d/". Find it with File Manager
Q: I want to change stuff like voltages/governor, but how? A: Browse to the init.d folder, open s99init_doh with a text editor such as Jota Text Editor. Trial and error from here.
Q: Cool story bro, but I can't edit/save the file. Wth? A: Calm down. The directory is read only. In file manager go to the directory, then open your menu -> more -> settings, scroll to the bottom and check root and mount. When u are finished, unchecked those two.
Q: How do I boot into recovery (CWM) mode? A: Through your power menu, through the CWM app on your phone, or: With the phone off, Vol-Up,Vol-Down, Power Button - Hold down at same time till your in recovery
Q: I tried hitting my power button recently, but the screen never came on (SOD). Whats up? A: Hard to say exactly, but lets start pumping the CPU voltages up. 25mV at a time. If it continues even at stock voltages, long-press power to reset the phone and then pull /proc/last_kmsg and let me know!A lot of people can push their voltages lower, I can too. Trying to make this script universal for us siyah people. Don't be afraid to increase/decrease your CPU voltages 25mV at a time, never go higher than stock in my opinion.
Undervolting is pretty much a placebo with your screen on. At most people save is 5% more battery with extreme undervolting. If you get one reboot, you may have drained more power than you have saved. If you want to save battery, turn your brightness low and choose a governor that stays away from the max freq the most. Your phone will also save a little more juice if you can handle 100Mhz as lowest state.

Doubt it. Parts of it would, so you could dissect certain things like the gps/hosts file. Thanks for bringing that up though, I have to remember you i9100 folks are currently in love with ICS. Us i777 have it way to buggy.
Update: I will check back later today to see if anyone has any issues.

No harm in having something new to play with i guess. Great thread mate.
Just installed the performance version and it's working great coupled with Checkrom and Siyah. Thanks!
EDIT: Hmm, my SGS2 seems to be having issues with the three GPU frequency steps, as ShadowGun isn't running smooth anymore.

This is where I need your help. If you could, go into ExTweaks. In the gpu tab could you increase the first step to 160 2nd to 267. First step mV 850. 950mV for 2nd. Let me know how that runs.

Tried changing the settings, but it seems it wasn't related to the settings of your script, but the kernel. Running stock now and everything is working as it should. Would definitely recommend this script for anyone wanting a little boost in performance!
Just checking in. Curious if anyone has any issues/recommendations. This script has over 1500 installs since last month in the i777 community. I am looking for ways to improve it, and your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks again folks.
will try soon, after reflashing back to 100% stock KI4 on my S2
and this thread has the best appearance that i've ever seen on xda, really
Hi cwc3,
After recharge and your scripts it last 22 hours before my battery is empty with normal use.
It runs very smooth, where I expected some lags as its the battery version.
I have the feeling longer usage is possible if the voltage is set a bit lower. What do you think?

Worth a try. I'm my tests, lowering voltages was more of a placebo. The voltages are found in the s92initdoh init.d script.
Did you notice any increase in battery? Typically you should notice a little lag when switching between things. The main battery saving from this script is going to be from the underclocking on both CPU and gpu.
Anyways, thanks a bunch for the feedback.
Hi,
I noticed big difference compared to stock, as that would empty my battery within 18 hours.

New Update
v0.4.5b: Lowered Hotplugging values. They were fairly ridiculous. Disabled sched_mc, redundant with hotplugging on. Freq_cpu1on back at 600hz. GPU Thresholds changed to 85/70/85/65 (Thanks droidphile). GPUSTAYCOUNT=2 on all. Upped ondemand/down_differential to 10.
Still experimenting with these values based off of peoples feedback/droidphile's thread. Be sure to let me know if you run into any issues, always looking for feedback.

Features:
based on JB sources
DISABLED CAP_ERASE (No superbrick bug)
All-in-1kernel because it supports CM9, CM10, Samsung, MIUI and Boot-to-Gecko (B2G) ROMs with a single kernel image. (no Sense4all support)
Dual booting support for all supported ROM types. See droidphile's post for Dual Booting FAQ
Custom CWM touch recovery with swipe gestures and double-tap selection
6-steps CPU freq
5-step GPU frequency levels. VPLL Mode to have additional frequency steps. defaults frequencies: 66-108-166-267-330.
Auto-root. You can also remove root via STweaks app and install it without rebooting your phone again. Auto-root can be disabled as well.
CPU Overclock/Undervolt support (we have two interfaces for that. both of them are defacto standard)
Tweakable vitalij's value (set to 5 as default)
Adjustable touchpad led brightness
Fixed fuelalert wakelocks
You can completely disable android logger using STweaks app
Faster charging for misc and USB modes. There are 3 modes (AC, Misc, USB) and normally last two of them support only slow charging. You can have charging speed of AC by increasing it (especially user while charging in car or using USB port)
Cpu governor optimizations
Gpu voltage, clock and stepcount interfaces (GPU Overclock/Undervolt)
Screen brightness curve settings with original panel gamma values. panel values unchanged, so you will get stock colors and will be able to use supercurio's voodoo display app when it is released. brightness modification will only change auto-brightness response.
BLN support both for Samsung and CM ROMs (you can use STweaks, Nstools or BLNControl app from the market to enable it)
Breathing or Blinking effect for BLN. (Make sure you don't enable blinking in any other BLN app) Use STweaks to select one of them.
Better touch sensitivity
Available CPU Governors: Pegasusq (default), Ondemand, Lulzactive, SmartassV2, Interactive and Conservative, Performance, Userspace, Powersave
CIFS as module
Available I/O schedulers: CFQ (default), noop, Deadline, SIO, V(R)
J4FS as module
ARM topology support (SCHED_MC)
Automatic EFS Backup
Lots of I/O tweaks and filesystem optimizations via some parts of thunderbolt scripts.
USB Mass Storage mode is working in CWM Touch Recovery and you can mount both internal and external sdcard as a disk drive
NTFS automounting for USB sticks. When you plug in an NTFS formatted USB flash it will be automatically mounted to /mnt/ntfs folder.
USB mouse and keyboard support
built-in profile support with default, battery and performance presets (you can change them in CWM Recovery). Even using everything default will save you a lot of battery juice.
Eargasm for headphone amplification (in STweaks) as free Voodoo Louder replacement
Almost everything is configurable such as scheduler features, hotplug thresholds, GPU frequencies, voltages, arm topology modes... and they are configurable via simple and free STweaks app which is embedded in the kernel and soon in Google Play & Opensource
Adjustable mDNIe settings
optional sharpness tweaks from hardcore
mDNIe negative effect toggle with home button (press it four times)
Touch gesture support by Tungstwenty. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831254)
BLNWW (BLN Without Wakelock)
Slide2Wake (originally by Fluxi)

troubleshooting
READ THESE FIRST
Never report any bugs to CM9/CM10 threads if you use it together with SiyahKernel
Do not ask questions to me directly. This is a common thread, not my personal inbox. Ask your questions in the thread and do not target them to anyone.
Do not expect answers to all your questions. There are some questions which nobody knows the answer of.
Do not forget that this is a development thread. There is another thread in general section for those who wants to discuss battery life and chats. If your post does not include a feature request, bug report or suggestion it should be posted to the other thread.
No ETA for new version. Even if I sometimes talk about release dates those may change and they change for some good reason or because of my real-life obligations.
Make use of "Search this Thread -> Advanced Search"
Never ever discuss anything deep-sleep related in this thread. I do not make modifications to prevent sleep and 99% of deep sleep problems are application/ROM related. discuss it in general section. I do not want any positive ("this kernel sleeps like a baby") or negative ("There is a big problem with deep sleep. Please fix it") messages in my development thread.
If you do not provide details about your configuration and settings nobody can help you or nobody will care about your problem/bug report. The problems without details (ROM, settings, preferably the version that the problem first happened or the one that you don't experience the problem) will be ignored.
Never ever report any SOD issues if you are undervolting/overclocking and make sure you attach last_kmsg log. If you don't know what it is report the problem to the other thread because one more post without any useful information on dev thread will help noone including yourself.
FAQ:
Q: I am having some random lockups with some apps
A: try removing root by using STweaks app and restart.
Q: What is the difference between STweaks and ExTweaks?
A: Both have similar functionality. ExTweak is Xan's implementation of the UCI interface (which is designed by Xan and me with the helps of AndreiLux and implemented in the kernel as open scripts by me) and STweaks is mine. I was hoping Xan would release the sources of ExTweaks (without profile support) but he changed his mind and I decided to open STweaks. Soon they will have almost identical functionality, so you can use whichever you like.
Q: Does this kernel work on XXXXXX-ROM?
A: If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock ICS Rom LPQ or newer, it should. Otherwise, search the thread... If you cannot find any reference to that ROM, try the kernel. You won't lose anything by trying this kernel. Worst case scenario is to reflash your previous kernel or ROM. You can backup your previous kernel with Hellcat's k-tool from the market.
Q: Where is CM9, MIUI or Samsung ROM versions?
A: There is only one version. Both ROMs are supported with a single kernel image.
Q: What is the best settings?
A: It is the one you try yourself and like.
Q: I have just lost 20-30% battery by just rebooting/flashing the kernel. Is it a bug?
A: No. It happens because of our fuel gauge chip which doesn't require calibration goes crazy sometimes. It is not related with kernel or ROM. Just reset fuel gauge chip using STweaks app (or remove the battery and wait 3 minutes) and then charge your phone.
Q: BLN doesn't work.
A: you need to enable it in stweaks or BLN app. if you have more than one app to configure bln make sure all of them use the same settings.
Q: BLN works in test mode but it doesn't work otherwise.
A: if test mode works you should blame the apps. Stock messaging and email apps may not support BLN and in some other applications you may need to enable notifications. Either find another application or change your ROM.
Q: Can I use breathing effect without using BLN?
A: for now, breathing effect only works in BLN. There is no way of using it otherwise.
Q: I need to disable and re-enable BLN in stweaks to get it working again. What is the problem?
A: You may have another BLN related application (BLNapp, nstools, or a script) which disables BLN after stweaks apply the setting at early boot stage. you have to either uninstall that app or enable BLN in that app as well.

Thanks man i knew you will be fast but now I'm shocked.

And to help you on your way even the CM9 kernel has been built from source and released tonight to help further your support for ICS ROM's hopefully *cough*SlimICS*cough*
Don't blame me for this question i didn't know where to ask it . Why gokhan's status is still senior member? Why not a recognized developer? all the developments he has done on kernels counts for something or what?

I guess he's not applied for it (I would need to check to be certain), but if he wants to apply, he's more than welcome to (application process is opening again soon)

I am talking about touchscreen responsiveness same as in CM9 with LP6 kernel.
I slept off on the keyboard waiting. GM can we expect download link soon? Its 5:00am here and I think I need to catch some sleep before going to office... I havent waited for my GF so much.. Damn..
I'll make myself a coffee and test it for 10-20 mins then upload to my blog as first beta...
I finished everything except for BLN. I tried, but could not finish it because of lack of complete cm9 repository in my vm. if anybody can compile liblights, everything else is in the kernel now. If nobody compiles it by then, I will do that in this week, hopefully.
I am surprised with the changes in the platform specific parts. I wasn't expecting that Samsung would make a change in that crap but they did and it looks much better. I have a theory that they outsourced the kernel part (maybe to odroid guys) because some parts look very good which is not something I expect from Samsung softwarewise
anyway. it was a real fun for me. I hope it will be at least as much fun to use it for you.
let the celebrations begin
it's up
and a last minute addition was made for smartassv2 lovers
I guess I take the credit of installing it first.. Installed .. Siyah 3.0b1 CWM . Thanks Golkhan...
Which defconfig did you use to start from? u1_defconfig?
Taking a dinner break before resuming this.
I'll be very busy this week. that is why I spent some time tonight to make this release.
I'll edit the OP later.
and.. somebody asked why I am not a recognized developer...
Pulsar is right, I did not apply
I think I still have some more to do before doing that.
it's good to be a senior member.
I find the recognition in your comments, not in a title.

yes, I do. but I think samsung used another mali driver in the release. that may cause blank (black) screen. I am not sure if latest CM9 can use LPQ or LP7 kernels but if it can then this beta will support CM9 and most clones.
Hey guys!
So from observations by @rkoby13 and myself, there seems to be a demand for regular builds of DorimanX's kernel!
This thread will serve as a place for logs, reports, and discussion relating to these unofficial builds by me.
Currently the plan is to compile v9 builds, whenever @dorimanx adds major updates or significant modifications to his source, however this may, and probably will, result in UNSTABLE AND EXPERIMENTAL RELEASES
Disclaimer:
Dori tests highly experimental commits prerelease, and if your device is damaged, wiped, or in any way negatively affected by these releases it's not the fault of Dorimanx, or me. In flashing these releases you accept full responsibility for any consequences of its use.
In this op, I'll have a log of which builds are most stable and which ones have bugs reported or major issues in code, and builds with extreme issues will be removed.
As x.39 was just released, the first build will be uploaded after the next major addition to the kernel sources, and every major change after that.
If there is a commit that I have not considered major but is important to you, either reply to the thread or pm me with a link to the commit, and I'll probably update the build to include it. In future, I may also build v8 kernels until their end of life, if many people show a desire for this
Finally, just a reminder not to post logs or reports/discuss these builds in any other thread, thanks
I'll also soon be adding my new and improved stweaks settings guide, nearly everything is covered now.
Source: http://github.com/dorimanx/dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel

if anyone has a domain they'd like to offer to mirror I'd be glad (hint hint)
dorimanx has decided to help out with building sometimes, and he'll post here! and apparently no one reads whole op, is this big enough?

Eskriminal's New and Improved DorimanX Stweaks Guide!
Starting off, I will not be covering stock standard info such as cpu clock, voltage, or the most basic governor variables. @droidphile has a brilliant comprehensive guide to these things and more, search!
Now let's get started! This guide will be in the same order as stweaks itself, and if i miss anything that you wanted, pm me
Topic 1. Advanced/Custom Cpu Governor variables
Here will be discussed governors such as nightmare, darkness, and perhaps zzmoove (if i have time), and their variables.
Freq_step
this controls how large the step up should be when the cpu load hits either the up_threshold, or the inc_cpu_load, depending on your governor.
It is a percentage, where the percentage involved is that of the cpu clock prior to the switch.
Down_threshold/dec_cpu_load
same as up_threshold or inc_cpu_load, but in the reverse, these dictate at what load to decrease frequency
Cpu_up_rate/cpu_down_rate
these values determine how many readings of cpu load will be collected (i.e. 60% or 80%) before being compared to the inc_cpu_load or dec_cpu_load respectively
Freq_step_dec
the same as freq_step, but for decreasing frequency
Freq_step_dec_at_max_freq
identical to freq_step_dec, but while cpu is at values above freq_for_responsiveness_max
Up_sf_step/Down_sf_step
both have detailed descriptions in app from alucard
<more to come>
Topic 2. Memory Management
This tab in stweaks dictates whether Dorimanx kernel should control the Android memory management system (Auto Oom Control switch)
The settings here control how it should control it, with the more aggressive the setting, the quicker apps will be killed at low memory.
<more to come>
Topic 3. GPU Tab
The GPU settings are all identical in function to the way CPU control works, with the frequency steps available and voltage/threshold changes.
The GPU utilisation timeout controls how fast the gpu should respond to a heavy load.
With the thresholds, as with cpu the higher they are the slower it will scale frequencies up, and the faster it'll scale down.
<more details to come>
Topic 4. Screen Tab
Here all screen settings and brightness controls are changeable.
min_bl controls how fast auto-brightness should increase screen brightness level, when this value is higher the screen will stay on minimum brightness for longer.
min_gamma and max_gamma control the minimum and maximum brightness available to auto-brightness
LCD Power Reduce lowers screen brightness to save battery
Screen colour modes control colour levels
Gamma Shift changes all brightness system-wide up or down based on the value put in
FB early suspend delay controls delay after sleep should activate before running the screen off animation
Vibration force controls the power of vibrations system-wide
Slide2Wake toggles waking the device by swiping across the screen from left to right
mDNIe Negative Toggle enables or disables inverting colours by pressing the home button the number of times set below
Touch screen tweaks control sensitivity options - They're advanced, and usually don't need to be touched
Topic 5. Sound Tab
Most settings are self-explanatory, if anyone wants this actually explained, shoot me a pm.
Topic 6. Big Collection, all Misc. Kernel settings! (BLN, CRON, Logger, Auto wifi etc.)
BLN controls whether to switch on backlights when notifications are received during phone sleep.
The bln effect controls the light mode of these keys (doesn't work with BLN without wakelock)
Notification timeout controls the maximum length of time the keys should be on before turning off (doesn't work with BLN without wakelock)
LED timeout controls the timeout on backlight keys during phone use
BLNWW sets BLN to run without forcing the cpu to stay out of deep sleep, saving battery
LED fadeout controls the effect when the keys switch off
LED on touch determines whether the keys will turn on when pressed during use
LED voltage level controls the key brightness
CRON is a timed automatic service which can be used to run various optimisations and updates as detailed in the 'Other' tab in Stweaks
Fix Permissions may solve fcs in apps
Zipaligning apps may optimise them to run faster
Database optimising will clear and compact the system data, potentially increasing system performance
GPS zone changes to your local ntp server may decrease gps lock times and increase accuracy
USB settings control the device storage mount mode.
Charge current levels control speed of charging from various sources, with the higher the current, the faster the flow and therefore charge
Resetting the fuel guage chip may solve issues when battery appears to drop after reboots, as the chip will recalibrate
The Ad-blocker will block advertisements by ip in most apps
Filesystem tools attempt to recover corrupt partitions on the disk
Root settings control device root security
Cortexbrain controls the switching between various things based on screen state including cpu governor and clock, io scheduler, auto wifi, auto data, and logger control
The android logger writes logs of system errors, disable unless you plan on using this
auto data disables mobile data when the screen is off, with the delay before doing so below it (auto wifi is the same for wireless internet)
Various tweaks change system values relevant to each one
Eco tweaks modifies hotplugging logic when battery drops below the eco-level threshold to save battery by preferring use of only a single cpu core
This is just a preliminary guide, my corrupted hdd destroyed the other one I'd been writing for @rkoby13
Reserve one more! Just in case!

I bought an optimus g for wife, but started to play with it, lock bootloader, hard to root, no custom kernel for oc. It's nice to see that s2 community it's still active.
Regarding domain, maybe ApriliaM3 from neatrom thread, he has an huge one with mods, kernels, rom.

Agreed. Nice to see the i9100 community still active
I have a question. What is a "V8" kernel and if its good stuff, why isn't included in Dorimanx official build? I'm assuming because of possible bugs?

maybe you lost track....but dorimanx kernel has 2 branches....8.xx & 9.xx....
8.xx has support for Samsung stock JB roms...aswel as aosp/aokp/cm....<---4.2.2 and bellow...to 4.1.2...
9.xx branch supports 4.2.2 and 4.3 only...aokp/cm/aosp roms and dualboot between them....and with 9.xx you have more ram avaliable ....other things you can find in original dorimanx kernel thread....
v8, for official roms. v9, custom roms.
Dorimanx put sources in git daily and build his kernel. Anyone who could and want, take his sources and make an kernel, based on his sources. So, that's what we are here on this thread, we wait to grab and test an custom kernel

dude! I totally lost my mind. Lol. I totally got confused, I know there is a version 8 of the kernel. I was thinking that this was like the "V6 Supercharger" mod that some people use. I thought there was a new version or something that was kernel based. Hahaha. Thanks for clearing that up for me bud.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage that might occur to your device. You proceed strictly at your own risk. This is a work in progress.Thank you for your interest in Plasma kernel, I hope you enjoy it. I've poured hundreds upon hundreds of hours of work into putting together a kernel that best showcases our hardware. Plasma kernel would not be possible without super-smart people like AndreiLux, DerTeufel, temasek, googyanas, faux123, and the regular contributors to the official cm kernel repositories. Please donate to them to support their hard work!.

[UKSM Enable]: Enable the UKSM daemon that will continuously scan memory for duplicate data.
[UKSM Daemon Sampling Rate]: How often the daemon checks for duplicate data.
[UKSM CPU Usage Limit]: How much system load (CPU usage) the daemon will use.
[Long-tap-off Always On]: Found in its own section under the Touchwake section. When enabled Longtapoff will always work, regardless of how you woke your device. Takes effect immediately.
[Many ZZMoove settings]: Many ZZMoove settings on the newly created "ZZMoove Scaling" and "ZZMoove Hotplug" tabs. Descriptions coming soon.

V. Changelog
v2.02 (November 2nd, 2013)
Tracked audio/media skipping bug to disabled loggers (thanks pappschlumpf!) By default logging is now enabled. While you can still disable it, it will always be reset upon reboot.
Changes to write-back caching (thanks temasek)
Support for switching touchkey backlight driver from ROM/kernel (bottom of Screen tab in STweaks) (thanks Yank555-lu)
Some bug fixes for Slide2Wake

VI. Archived Changelogs
2013-10-29 | v2.00 7100 / n7105 LTE
Linux 3.0.101 (thanks temasek)
Hopeful bugfixes for untouchable screen, and taps on top triggering suspend
Should you encounter a problem like that, cycling on and off (power button) should now reset any state variables
Fix FC issues. Works with more ROMs, including the latest AOSP nightlies
Allow pm_idx_freq to be set as high as 1600 MHz, theoretically could slightly speed up waking from deep sleep. Set on "Plasma Tuneables" tab of STweaks
Added several new tuneable ideas to zzmoove
Added "ZZMoove Scaling" and "ZZMoove Hotplug" tabs to STweaks. The descriptions are still a work in progress
Moved mDNIe controls to their own "Color" tab
Greatly enhanced the longpressoff feature's reliability and ease of use (by upgrading to scheduled_work)
Slide2Wake and arc swipes now trigger CPU and memory frequency locks to speed up waking
Slide2Wake and arc swipes no longer accidentally send input in the milliseconds after the screen comes on, but before you finished your gesture
Added option to Screen tab of STweaks to enable Longtapoff always, regardless of how the device woken
Expanded the trigger areas for slide2wake and arc swipes
ZRAM/swap is working and compatible with "Turbo ZRAM" (4x parallel ZRAM swaps for quad core devices) (thanks googyanas)
ZRAM settings in STweaks now allows you to set one total size of RAM that will be divided into 4x ZRAM swaps. Setting to 0 disables all swaps. Changes are applied instantly. No need for any other ZRAM/swap apps or init.d scripts.
UKSM (Ultra KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging)) enabled, with settings on the "I/O / RAM" tab of STweaks. Mostly just a novelty, but what it does is continuously checks RAM for duplicate pages to save space
zCache enabled and always running
Cleancache enabled
Frontswap enabled
Enabled LOWMEM_CHECK (thanks googyanas)
Enabled SPEEDUP_KEYRESUME as discussed in temasek's thread (Placebo effect? Maybe. Better ask Brian Molko. A cookie for you if you understand that reference) (thanks googyanas)
Added my own wake-speed ideas (2-second max-CPU-speed lock, and 2-second max-bus/RAM-speed lock on KEY_POWER press)
Permanently fixed (hopefully) the laggy, skippy, media bug
Toggle negative screen mode by taping the home button 4 times quickly (but NOT as fast as you can) (based on a commit by gokhanmoral)
Toggle nightmode (red) screen mode by pressing the home button 3 times VERY quickly (pretty much as fast as you can) This is purposely designed to be a dim red, as searing bright 255 red isn't particularly easy on your eyes in the dark. Fun fact: this (and the negative one described above) are functional even during boot...triple tap to see your bootscreen turn red
CPUFreq bug fixes/commits (thanks DerTeufel)
Permanent TRIM (thanks googyanas)
Added shell scripts to quickly and easily see statistics with as little typing as possible. Open a command prompt on your device, type "su" and press enter to ascend to root. Now you can type "szc" and press enter to see zCache statistics (szc = show zcache). Or type "ssw" to see swapfile/zRAM statistics (ssw = show swap). Note: Some statistics don't fully populate until a few minutes after boot
Experimental: Set ZZMoove governor for battery savings by obtaining a root shell as described above, then typing "zzb" and pressing enter (zzb = zzmove battery). Does not reapply after reboot.
Compiler optimizations

I didn't realize this was the n7100 subforum, although now I think it serves as both? So I have added the n7100 to this thread instead of making a new thread for it.

I'm honored you would be interested in it. Sorry it crashed on you, and thank you for the bug report. Looks like the msleep() I'm calling might be interfering with the touchkey backlight - I never ran into that problem because I always have the backlight disabled. I'll have to look into it today.
For people using gestures, don't forget to set the modifier (touchkey) delay in STweaks, otherwise gestures that require a touchkey won't work properly. I default this to 0 purposely so people who don't use gestures (majority) aren't annoyed by the delay.
hope this can run on slim rom latest stable build 2
Been trying for a while now, overwhelmed by the numbers of options in STweaks. Pretty great so far. Thanks
