THIS IS ONLY FOR TELUS FASCINATE ( SGH-T959D )
I have tried many time to compile without success, so after having a small talk with TK-Glitch, he told me that he already had compiled his kernel for us ^^. So i decided to post here the kernel and his future update.
All credits goes to Tk-Glitch and his team. If you like this kernel, thanks him or give him some money. The only thing i did was to make this thread xD
Do you want to discuss on this kernel, get the fresh news on development, or become a kernel tester ?

These kernels are provided as-is without warranty. I'm not responsible for any problem you can encounter with your phone or if your cat suddenly dies.
Although, don't expect support even if I will eventually help since I love cats.
Note : These kernels are only compatible with CM7 and MIUI roms !​
Overview :
- Up to 1.7GHz CPU OC with added bus/GPU OC (Thanks to morfic for the great base of work)
- Undervolting using Pimp my CPU or Voltage Control
- Voodoo Sound - & Voodoo Color, using VC versions (Thanks Supercurio & renaudallard)
- FPS uncap (Screen running 68Hz instead of 60Hz, from 56 to 66 FPS max) from JPX source
- Various tweaks for more smoothness and reliability
- LED notifications
CHANGELOGS IN #2 POST​The frequency/voltage & informative UV settings table is as follow for latest kernel :
Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1700 MHz - [email protected] 243 MHz - 1.500v / -> Most phones will fail here. -25 to -50mV may help to stabilize. Much stabler as unique frequency for benchmarks.
1600 MHz - [email protected] 229 MHz - 1.500V / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - [email protected] 250 MHz - 1.500V / -25mV
1440 MHz - [email protected] 240 MHz - 1.475V / -50mV
1400 MHz - [email protected] 233 MHz - 1.450V / -50mV
1300 MHz - [email protected] 217 MHz - 1.400V / -50mV
1200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.350V / -50mV
1000 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.250V / -50mV - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.200V / -75mV
400 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.050V / -100mV
200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 0.950V / -150mV
100 MHz - [email protected] 100 MHz - 0.950V / -200mV - (can be very different between two devices)
GPU frequency is linked to bus speed
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.
Note : Never ever use SetCPU with this kernel. You could encounter many stability problems like random reboots or bootloops.

Glitch kernel
Telus Fascinate version :
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Low leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Medium leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (High leakage)​
OLDER RELEASES​FTP ROOT (all kernels are here)​​
FAQ :
What are the differences between High, Medium and Low leakage ?
All produced chips aren't equal, and some will be "better shaped" than others, using power more efficiently and heating less. This new concept I added in V11 tends to cover most chips, depending on their quality.
The idea is to modify some internal voltage values of the SoC to help a good CPU in a poor environment (GPU/controller/memory) to shine. Of course it won't do miracles if your CPU is poor to begin with, but it's a very rare case.
Low leakage chips are the best on the paper, needing less volts and heating less than others.
High leakage represents the majority of produced chips in our SGS.
I found with beta testers that even if a chip looks poor at OC/UV at first, it'll generally have much potential still. I was able to get a 1.2GHz no UV max stable GS to 1.5GHz -50mV rock solid, and even able to push 1.7GHz for benchmarking and other tests using this new concept.
Of course this is all new and it'll take some time and heavy testing to find best settings for most devices, but I think it's a very interesting thing, and I hope I'll be able to find a way to change modes on-the-fly, making this function a must in the future especially in OC/UV kernels.​
How do I enable logcat in V11+ ?
In V11, the logger is now built as a module to lower overhead and to help battery life.
To enable it, just open a terminal emulator and type "logcat-on", then reboot.
To disable it, type "logcat-off" instead. (without quotes !)​
I get reboots when I try to load Voodoo Sound module !
This function, available in Voodoo Control Plus app, is ONLY for kernels NOT SUPPORTING Voodoo Sound (like stock CM7 kernel for example). You'll only generate conflicts trying to load this module. Voodoo Sound is built-in on Glitch kernel and nothing more has to be loaded for it to work.​

Changelogs :
Changelogs :
V5
19/04/2011 - V5A - Initial release
21/04/2011 - V5B :
- GPU overclock on 1.3 GHz added (217MHz / +8.5% from default)
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM compared to V5A (now 328MB)
- Stability fixes for all frequencies, needing globally less volts. Results may vary depending on the device
- Switched to Conservative governor by default (still switchable by app). It can feel less responsive coming from idle but more battery saving, and plays better with high frequencies.
- New voltage table. Default settings should be stabler for most devices.
- Switched to 4.4.3 toolchain for added stability on some sensitive devices
Captivate and Vibrant support will come later. It will need more time than expected.
21/04/2011 - V5C : Small update to fix a bootloop issue on some devices.​
V6
WIP
22/04/2011 - V6pre - preview/work in progress of upcoming V6A update *test* :
- Reverted PMEM settings to new CM7 default (317MB - same as V5A)
- Reverted some stability fixes that weren't that stable on some devices, or even prevented some to boot
- New voltage table for a more linear increase, improving stability at default settings
- Switched to Deadline scheduler by default as it appears more stable
- Back to 2010.09 toolchain for speed and efficiency
- Synchronized with last update from SGS CM7 team
Better to use CM7 04212011 update with this kernel and newer.
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 1 :
- Battery polling bumped to 15 sec (was 1 before), it should help battery to an extent (thanks to Zach for the idea)
- Some internal voltage tweaking to hopefully be more UV friendly
- Bumped USER_HZ for more smoothness
- Another -rare- bootloop fix
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 2 :
- Added some tweaks from V5A for testing
- Resolved a bug generating fake voltage reading
- Resolved a bug on 400MHz step generating instabilities
- Slight changes to the voltage table
- Fixed a typo
- Trying some toolchain switch - again-
23/04/2011 - V6pre - update 3 :
- Corrected Led Notifications - Now it should work properly again !
- Various bugfixes and typo corrections
- Toolchain change once again
- Added new Interactive governor with aggressive settings for even more speed. You need to change it by app (pimp my cpu/cyanogen settings), it's still on conservative by default.
(thanks Zach for your suggestion)
25/04/2011 - V6pre - update 4
- Cleanups on Led notifications to resolve a bug (buttons stopped working randomly for some users)
- More typo corrections
- Voodoo Sound V8
- Various bugfixes on CPU load and schedulers
- CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disabled for speed
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances
- Added a stability fix for voltage change latency when frequency is changing. It should give more stability with high undervolt or big voltage differences between two steps - Please test and report ! (Thanks Zach for pointing that to me)
- Two versions for testing purposes : V6pre-u4 is compiled using GCC 4.5.1 toolchain, and V6pre-u4(alt) is compiled using GCC 4.4.3 one. If you get instabilities on the first one, try the other and vice versa. Please report your findings on that because it was the first stability differences source between my kernel revisions. For information, V6pre-u2 was compiled with 4.4.3, and u3 with 4.5.1.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 5 >> 6
- Name changed from "TkGlitch" to "Glitch"
- Cleanups on buttons (Kangsterizer)
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances in 3D and/or at high GPU frequency - corrected, thanks to Kangsterizer
- Added a stability fix when frequency changes for cpufreq governors
- Tweaked Interactive and Conservative governors for testing
- New Frequency table : 1.5GHz is now the max selectable frequency, and 800MHz and 400MHz steps are now replaced by a unique 600MHz one.
- Changed initramfs source to remove the annoying "E:no misc partition" error in the recovery
- Now bumped to update 6 to fix an issue with the conservative governor.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 7
- New Frequency table : 1.44GHz removed, 800 and 400MHz steps are back.
- Battery polling bumped from 15 to 30 seconds
- GPU power latency bumped from 10 to 60 ms
28/04/2011 - V6A - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New sensors drivers added
- Normalized 1.5GHz bus speed (GPU will now run @ 250MHz versus 247MHz before. It can affect your stability !)
- Int voltage lowered for 1.5GHz step because it did have a bad effect on lower frequencies stability
- GPU power latency back to default - but fixed (100ms)
29/04/2011 - V6B - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New initramfs source to fix compass and update CWM recovery
- 1.5GHz replaced by 1.48GHz for stability
- New voltage table as requested by many users (+25mv on 1200 to 1400MHz steps)
- New interactive governor for better scaling and battery life
- New tweaked smartass governor for testing (pretty bad on CPU benchmarks for some reason, please test how it feels in real world use)
- New ondemand governor from Zacharias.maladroit sources for testing
02/05/2011 - V6C - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Small update to merge with 2.3.4 source, no new feature.
02/05/2011 - V6C² - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Update to repair Voodoo Sound conflicts from 2.3.4 merge.
- Back to 1.44GHz max to prepare 1.5GHz return​
V7
02/05/2011 - V7A - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge.
- New step for 1.5GHz on top of 1.44GHz (now 9 steps total versus 8 before)
- Forcing 400MHz max when sleeping for added battery life (default = 800). Couldn't detect any side effect.
- New tweaked Smartass governor now default (800MHz min when screen on). Please report your experience
- It seems the smartass governor is not working by default, it will revert to performance >< Please force it to get it to work -> Ok found the problem, I'll update in a min
- Now updated to V7A-2 to fix the governor bug
03/05/2011 - V7B - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge - Again - fully working now
- Fixed sleep of death issue when unplugged
- Switched to LZO compression for better overall speed and reduced boot time
- Tweaked smartass governor more for - hopefully - better battery life and a bit more responsivity
- New voltage and frequency table rewrite as a bonus with now 11 frequencies total
- Stability fixes on 1.5GHz step -> please test and report
- Reverted FPS uncap - at least for now - for two main reasons : more stability on high GPU freqs (1.4GHz and more), and to prevent FPS limit at max/2 (33 when unlocked to 66), limiting overall performances in heavy scenes. I think there's a lack of buffering somewhere.. It will give higher scores on some benchmarks, and lower on others. A better battery life can indeed be expected too.
- Upstream sync
05/05/2011 - V7C - To use with 05032011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Upstream sync (better battery life, reboot recovery, etc.)
- A general stability fix missing from V7 branch added back
- Tiny tweaks on the voltage table
- Big bugfix on the V7 branch (redone from scratch, cleaner)
- Switched to 2011.03 toolchain
- Added some optimization flags, "-mfloat-abi=hard" being one of them (up to 40% performance gains in specific cases)
- Small improvements here and there​V8
07/05/2011 - V8A - To use with 05062011 or newer CM7 build (useable on MIUI RC8 but you'll lose camera - MIUI needs an update)
- Upstream sync (camera fixes etc.)
- More stability fixes
- Cleanups on OC code (found that 1.2 and 1.3GHz were very unstable compared to earlier releases)
- More work on Vibrant/Captivate. The kernels are now available to download but are untested - for now. Feel free to try and report any problem or if all runs well. If I have enough positive reviews, these kernels will be released in their respective device sections.
11/05/2011 - V8B
Upstream sync only :
- USB switch suspend
- TV out stuff
- Fascinate specifics
- Revert "Got back to previous samsung_modemctl" for 05112011 CM7 build​V9
16/05/2011 - V9A
- Merged with the now dead V8C update because of new added features
- Upstream sync : Calculate battery percentage as percent of max capacity reported when battery full, new wifi driver, etc.
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM (now 331MB)
- 1.54GHz step added with some gentle settings for now.
- New step by step frequency switch when scaling down (part of the Galaxy S II port from Bilboa1) - more stability on highest frequencies
- Corrections and further tweaking on smartass governor + some fixes from Netarchy (Nexus S). 400MHz lock when screen is on removed (not needed anymore -> more power saving)
- Higher cache for faster SDcard read speed
- New sleep settings : Effective lock to 400MHz max when screen is off -> fix long wake up/hiccups when playing music or similar use. Be careful with your UV settings on 200 and 400MHz steps to avoid sleep of death problems ! These were not used on previous versions of my kernel (locked to 100 MHz when screen off and locked to 400MHz when screen on with a buggy gap in smartass governor forcing generally 600+ MHz)
- 600 MHz step removed (it was generating instabilities on some phones when jumping to 800 or down to 400 when using UV)
- Some voltage tweaks for added stability on some devices (as always)
- Cleanups on unused/no more needed stuff
- Little surprise, thanks to Morfic
- Updated to V9A² to fix SOD and some performance issues
21/05/2011 - V9B
- Upstream sync (CWM recovery 3.1.0.1, better screen colors (kills voodoo color for now and looks awful on my 0516 build, but should be good on latest), GPIO fixes, samsung modemctl...) + small changes on my side for official CyanogenMod repository compatibility
- Voodoo Sound updated to V9 / cleaned voodoo color stuff until it works again
- New cleaner bootlogo based on the one in first post, preferred by most users
- Some additional compilation flags from Netarchy and Zacharias.maladroit (better overall performances + NEON)
- Screen refresh frequency bumped to 72Hz (68Hz effective). It'll uncap FPS to 66 again but seems stabler than before on framerate (the divide/2 behavior happens less)
- Added screenstate scaling script from well.heeled.man as a test (with my kernel's smartass default settings). It should give better sleep power consumption as well as better power efficiency on screen off tasks like music playing etc. by switching to conservative governor.
If you want more information, discuss on this or contribute to enhance it, please come here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087646
- Adding some stuff from Zacharias.madadroit :
- Higher battery charging temperature
- Scheduler tweaks​
Alternative version now available (V9B-VC) using old AMOLED panel color/gamma settings and with Voodoo Color V2 added back.
24/05/2011 - V9C TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #12 OR HIGHER ONLY
(Updated to fix "no service" issue, but still sucks.. unstable on #12 build, very stable on others but no service)
- Upstream sync (PMEM disabled (gives 339MB RAM now), new RIL, headset fixes...)
- Divider changes for MUCH better stability on 1.2GHz at the cost of a slight decrease on performances
- New branch with Voodoo Color display driver and "old" color settings named "VC"
- Fix for Vibrant no service problem - hopefully
- Small changes on smartass governor for better scalability (reverts some old settings not needed anymore with the screenstate script)
- Glitch logo now in update script too for nanu_x2 to be amazed when installing my kernel
24/05/2011 - V9D TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #11 OR LOWER (for i9000, or cappy/vibrant equivalent) AND MIUI ONLY
First "D" revision.. Sound like duty. It's basically a fix of a fix done to make the V9C features available for "stable builds" (considering the i9000 #12 isn't)
- Obviously all the V9C changelog
- Using old RIL to be compatible with builds before #12 for I9000 (--> WON'T WORK with #12 for i9000 or equivalent !)
- Replaced 1.54GHz step by 1.6GHz (1.54GHz step was somewhat useless, too close to 1.5Ghz, and slower overall because of the lower bus speed)
- I can't build Vibrant ATM, the CM7 build system is broken on this device or I'm doing something wrong but I wasn't able to fix it. Any help is appreciated. I'm sorry for Vibrant users I'm screwed.​
V10
27/05/2011 - V10A Do not use with CM7 builds older than 23/05 (as well as the 28/05 or newer build) or MIUI -> you'll get no service !

- OC code bugs and inconsistencies introduced in V7B now fixed (it was here to prevent sleep of death issue, now fixed)
- Some fixes and enhancement for compatibility with Xan's Voltage Control app
- Various tweaks for MOAR SPEED
- Black magic
Known issues :
- The reboot recovery command seems broken for some reason on recent builds. Probably rom related.
- Some users still get freeze issue on boot. If you have this issue, please use the "no-optimization" kernel for you device from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14180722&postcount=2077

How to install CM7 on SGH-T959D with alternative for broken SGH-T959D.
This is updated and easier way to install it ^^
This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!
It is really important that your are on froyo rom before you flash as CM7 need froyo bootloader.
Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! Knowledge on how to recover your phone is recommended.
Things that you need
1. CWM 3.0.0.5 enabled kernel. It will do a lagfix as it's voodoo kernel. Just let it finish.
2. Newest Version of CM7 Rom
4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip
5. [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel for SGH-T959D --> Telus fascinate 3g+
Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)
1. Get those files download
2. Copy cm7 package, GalaxyS EFS backup and Glitch kernel to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number, galaxys-efsbackup.zip and CM7TelusFascinate-Glitch-V10C-VC.zip.
3. Get into download mode and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition and phone efs clear!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar.
4. Unplug your USB and get into recovery mode. Hardware way.
5. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache
6. Flash GalxyS-EfsBackup.zip
7. Flash Glitch kernel then reboot in recovery again with hardware way. If you use reboot recovery command, just keep on going with the alternative way.
7. Flash cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip
8. Reboot your device and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.
9. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!
10. Install [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel from recovery. CM7 package install default kernel and we want Glitch kernel
11. Restore the efs backup.
12. Reboot your device and you will be running CM7 Rom and amazing Tk-Glitch kernel ^^.
Alternative way to flash. Can't access recovery mode by booting with button.
1. Download the same file as main way to install.
2. Copy cm7 package to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number. Also copy Glitch kernel.
3. Get into download mode (Use download Script included here if you can't do it hardware way) and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar. Let your phone reboot to normal rom.
4. Once it has booted ( It will do a lagfix before booting. ) make sure you have usb debugging enabled. (Setting, application, development USB debugging ticked.) Use recovery script found Here ( Included in package to get in download mode. ) to get in recovery.
5. Flash GalaxyS-efsBackup.zip
6. Flash Glitch kernel.
7. Go to advanced in CMW and use REBOOT RECOVERY. Your phone will always be rebooting recovery for now. we'll fix that later.
8. Flash the CM7 package. Reboot into download with the script included in the package up or hardware way. (Button work to get in download for me.)
9. Flash CWM kernel again using odin with repartition NOT ticked.
10. Restore EFS.
11. It will reboot in recovery. Flash Glitch kernel again and and reboot normal again. And voilà !
You are now on amazing CM7 with more even amazing Glitch kernel.

Thanks so much. Was waiting for a new kernel, this works on any froyo rom right?? And do I need to dl that wipe thing you posted to flash this???
Sent from my T959D on Bionix..

Thx, ill take care of it when ill be at home
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I get status 7 message when flashing CM7. Is it because I'm EXT4?

I'm getting the same message. Status 7 assert failed, I tried it multiple times. I used to run voodoo kernel but i disabled the lagfix. I reflashed Froyo JL3 a couple times trying different things but nothing worked. Still the Status 7 message when trying to flash CM7

Battery Drain
Does this kernel still have battery drain issues?

For people with status 7 error, did you flash the initial kernel first? If you didn't , try to flash it first. If you dont have access to recovery with 3 button combo, i'll post my way to flash it by the night. Yes battery drain bug is still here, but it's getting more and more like normal GB firmware.

Thanks to Glitch for the kernel and thanks to you for the new thread for telus fascinate. I already compiled Glitch kernel for just personal usage, but now i dont have to worry about that Thank you
Since today, I'm not gonna compile a new build for telus fascinate due to personal events ( studying, working, enjoying my life, girl friend, etc..) But I'm gonna still write a comment for this kernel and visit this thread.
Thanks again and Ill give you a feedback about this kernel

hehe, i know how it's hard to have a life xD thanks to have compiled zach kernel for us while you were able ^^. I'll keep this thread updated as TK update his own and gives us a compiled kernel ( Turn out I ain't able to compile it myself xD)

Thanks again TKGLITCH!

i hope oneday Glitch compile MIUI version for us.

If you use the latest Miui build 1.6.10 you can just use this kernel as its the new ril, tested and working so far with 10b The work has already been done we were just waiting for MIUI to catch up.

24/03/2012 - BETA 6 :
- Upstream sync (modemctl, compass fix..)
- Fixed BLN, and added blink support
- Disabled Samsung sleep patches from Teamhacksung to prevent SODs
- Fascinate : Ported ssewk2x phantom keypress filter code from Glitch V13.1
- Vibrant : Merged GPS changes from FaultException
- Moved back to Deadline ioshed as default to fix nandroid
- Added Derteufel's selective LiveOC mod - It will prevent low frequency steps to OC, potentially providing enhanced stability and powersaving
- Fixed potential bug in vfat fs driver
- Fixed bug in ext4 fs driver
- Merged some audio changes from Teamhacksung
- Added touch support in Glitch recovery (incomplete)
- Some cleaning
22/02/2012 - BETA 5 :
- Voice audio through dock, thanks to xcaliburinhand (should fix related issues with Glitch volume boost hack)
- Renamed SmartassV2 governor to "GlitchassV2" to prevent latest NSTools version hanging
- Added FranciscoFranco Conservative governor tweaks for more speed
- Added a DIDLE enabler into screensate scaling script to kill BT in sleep and make DIDLE work with both TOP=ON and TOP=OFF. You'll need to enable screenstate scaling in Glitch menu from recovery in order to get DIDLE to use this (disabled by default). It's mostly for testing purposes - Feel free to report your experience with it.
- Moved back to previous sysinit to prevent the DIDLE enabler script to make the phone hanging on the bootlogo. Also fixes screenstate scaling making the phone unbootable, and some SOD/COD issues for guys using some other tweaking scripts
- Implemented BLN9 port from Derteufel with NSTools compatible sysfs. This way all the unsupported roms will get led notifications, and CMLed haters will hopefully stop to yell..
- The flash-time script has been updated to be able to clean more stuff
- A few fixes on the wifi driver to work better with our devices Please report your experience with DIDLE enabled. It may be required to disable DIDLE on some phones to prevent SOD/COD/softreboots or other instabilities. Also MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DAMN GB BOOTLOADER !
- Reverted modemctl changes from Teamhacksung - should fix data issues some are having
21/02/2012 - BETA 4.1 :
- Reverted sleep GPIO stuff from THS stock samsung port. Should fix SODs some are encountering.

- Fixed touchscreen freezing randomly
- Fixed various bugs here and there
- Back from Eugene's DIDLE to Ezekeel's DIDLE v2 mod (available through NSTools again) -> You may encounter SoD if enabled with wifi ON.
- Load balancing improvements
- Updated FIOPS I/O sched
- Sync with THS latest source
09/02/2012 - BETA 3 :

- Fascinate : Use GB driver for i500 to fix prox/light sensors, and updated RIL init (Thanks to Sbrissen)
- Fsync() enabled again to prevent/limit data loss while experimenting with overclocking, and to (probably) fix the reboot->bootloop issue
- Disabled frame pointer, FIQ debugger, and some more debug stuff, Morfic-like
- Some writeback quickfixes
- Updated wifi drivers with added net fixes and optimizations
- GlitchOndemand polling tweaking for more stability
- Misc tweaks

charging for some users (charging death). (Thanks to Pawitp)
- Vibrant : Headset buttons fix (Thanks to FaultException)
- Fixed and now built-in CIFS
- Changed OC steps (1152 step is now 1160, with 200MHz bus, 1440MHz step removed, added 1400 and 1500 MHz steps)
- Moved back to "old" DIDLE implementation for now
- Glitch call volume hack is back
- Various optimization and CPU load reduction in some typical cases

- New colors from Samsung stock.
- Toolchain sorcery with linaro 4.4.5, and using NEON and hardfloat optimizations.
- Bootmode injection support.
- Various speed enhancements.
PREVIEW #4 :
- Fixed softkeys on Captivate and Fascinate.
- Refresh rate back to 60Hz as the uncap breaks colors (it'll help to get better smoothness on heavy games too).
- Better 720p video recording.
- Tweaked governors and schedulers for testing.
- Big cleanup.
- Removed DIDLE for now - useless anyway, the rom prevents it to work correctly.
PREVIEW #3 :
- Added color adjustments to Nexus S framebuffer.

Major additions, ported from Ezekeel's work on the Nexus S (thanks Morfic !) :
You will need NSTools app, available for free on the market, or here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333696
- Added "LiveOC" system, giving access to GPU/bus overclocking on the fly, per 1% step.
- Added "Custom Voltage" control, giving access to ARM and Internal voltage undervoling and overvolting. (This makes the previous leakage system obsolete, which is now removed.)
- Added "Battery life eXtender" mod, allowing the user to limit the maximum charge percentage to preserve the battery life (not the battery runtime obviously)
- Added support for DIDLE V2, a very low power mode that will help battery life in many idle/semi-idle cases.
- Lazy governor sysfs, to enable or disable the frequency ramping up when screen is off (to end tasks quicker to sleep faster).
Keep in mind CM9 is at early stages of development and contains many bugs still.

Thank You
You seriously just saved me having to learn how to modify and compile my own kernel. Thank you! I have an old Fascinate I plan on hooking up an arduino which I've turned into a custom BBQ thermometer. To connect it to the internet I planned on taking advantage of the new USB host features of ICS running on my old fascinate which could connect to my wifi and act as a server. I just realized yesterday that the kernel I was using didn't enable USB host. I'm going to give this a try when I get home today. Thank you!
[UPDATE] - I put the V14 B1 kernel on my verizon fascinate. I know it's not made for that phone, but for my purposes I wanted to let you know that it's working. I had to do a factory reset, but no big deal. I can see my arduino using the USB Host Controller app and I am about to start writing an app that will communicate with my arduino. I'll report back if I run into any issues though I know I'm using a kernel that wasn't designed specifically for my phone. The only thing I've noticed is that the home key and back key are mixed, but I could care less about that. Thanks again!

Is this kernel really running on your verizon fascinate? I'm tempted to test it out but don't want to risk anything. Also have you noticed anything else weird other than the home and back being switched?

Signal won't work, this kernel is GSM, your fascinate is CDMA.
Switching menu key and back key
This is a quick and dirty hack with [email protected] #1 and ice-cream-sandwich-sgs from the icssgs project, RC 3.1 released January 16th 2012.
If you happen to have your Home and Back keys switched, you can change one file in the system to make them work like they used to.
Code:
#Remount your /system filesystem as read-write
mount -o remount,rw /system
#Edit the file
vi /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl
In the file, you should change
Code:
key 158 HOME VIRTUAL
key 102 BACK VIRTUAL
to
Code:
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Do this at your own risks.
If this is off-topic, please direct me to a more proper thread. I believe I saw on the last V14 pre-release threads questions about those reversed buttons.
If this is not right for CM9, please forgive me, I still haven't looked at CM9 for my device.
BETA 3 is available ! I hope you'll enjoy it
Any chance we'll be seeing a version that will run on my Mesmerize? I believe I'd be looking for the Verizon Fassy build, correct?

You are right, the Verizon Fascinate version works on Mesmerize.
Here it is, if needed : http://androtransfer.com/tk-glitch/CM9-kernels/Glitch/Fascinate/CM9-fascinatemtd-Glitch-V14-B3.zip
Thank you very much! I see that the kernel I want won't work just yet with THS 6.0, and I need my 3G data so I'll have to wait it out a bit longer I guess.
Thanks again though, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the proper kernel!
It should be up in about two or three hours
wrong topic! Sorry!
Telus Fascinate beta 4 is up !
I'll revert latest THS changes. That should fix the SOD problems. I'll then upload B4.1.
UPDATE : Beta 4.1 pushed to supposedly fix SOD issue.
UPDATE : Beta 5 is up !
Glitch. I'm such a fan but can't avoid the sod no matter what I do. Still the best kernel even without activating didle ? Is it just me? On cna 1.4 b4.1 but had the same even with b5..

What would be the steps to properly check the presence of a GB Bootloader on my cellphone?
Would the Baseband version in About phone be helpful? While searching informations about a gingerbread bootloader, I found that JVK is a recurring theme. Is the baseband related to the bootloader in any way?

Nothing in the about phone is gonna tell you about boot loaders. Are you or have you ran gingerbread 2.3 on your phone, if so then you have the gingerbread boot loaders. If you are still running froyo 2.2 then you don't probably.

I have been looking for this too.. i have updated the bootloader by flashing darky's 10.2 RE via odin and then proceeding, but I then have no way to enter download mode again..Ive checked every thread and have tried everything with no success. Does anyone know the correct bootloaders for the t959d (a lot of threads seem to have it but are full of brick comments)

Included in Kernel-
-24 governors (ondemand default)
-6 io-schedulers (sio default)
-O/C up to 2ghz although not recommended
-fudgeswap
-slqb memory allocator
- Increased zram disk size
- Increased zram to 30%
- Changed LZO --- Benchmarks show compression and decompression times performance increased by double
- Linaro optimizations from my ics-beta
Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous (recommended) change with nothrills cpu or similar app
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor ?:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Overclocked to 2ghz--- don't think its to stable though---
Please give feedback wether its stable for you or not if you overclock
FudgeSwap
-Helps improve multi-tasking in low memory situations forcing apps to swap.(already in DooM's sources)
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
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. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This 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.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

Important
Coming from a kernel with STOCK partitions??
Via fastboot enter the commands:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
You must wipe userdata and system if coming from a STOCK partirion kernel, Otherwise u will be stuck in a loop

What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it
Zram is not enabled by default- to enable it flash the wedgess-NEW-Zram-Enabler.zip below
If for whatever reason you want to disable it after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram
Cool, glad to see you got it working even if its not liking some of the governors.

So what do you think is the best combination of governor/scheduler for gaming?
Update your ROM and tell us how it goes.
Good news,
thanks for your work man, tonight i'm gonna put some Wolf in my phone.
I hope it is as performant as your ics work.
Thanks
No lag here. Will post if there's any problems.
Wedgess thanks for making a gb kernel but can you add CDMA support for those of us on R800x on your spare time? If you dont mind I will fill you in about my xperia play.
This is a thread from doomlord that has a working CDMA kernel which is based on version 2.3.3 gb. Doomlord was able to create a 2.3.4 kernel for us R800x users but camera functionality doesn't work at all. (I was hoping for the thread to be revived but it seems development has been put to a stop) So were stuck on doomlord gb 2.3.3. Currently I'm using kernel v1 from doomlord that has a working recovery and i am not using v2 posted in the thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368636
Since you don't have the device (that im aware of) I don't mind testing it if you wish :highfive:
Does the zram enable by default?? Or do we need to enable it??

Edit; Do u think i should wipe cache n dalvik cache on the 1st boot after switching?? Mybe i should just do it just to be sure.

good stuff, glad to hear I know but my linux is running out of space due to the amount of kernel sources I have lol.ill have to push them all to github to make the 25gb+ space needed, which will take awhile Hoping some rom devs will release linaro built roms now, we’ll see though
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I'll give this a try with DiXperia 2 rom this rom is fastest I've seen so far with doomkernel v14. I used lupus v4 with few ics roms and ran beautifully. Missed the great gaming in gb so this is very welcome as doomlord has moved onto htc one x thanks so much can't wait to try your kernel
I'm on dixperia 2 as well , will test it too. bye the way is this kernel support CIFS mounting ?
EDIT : working great, using Virtuous governor with SIO and it's really fast, coupling with dixperia2 its hell fast
I'm using a lot of launched apps (holo launcher, holo locker, whatsapp, viber, maps, setcpu for profiles, button sevior,
callrecorder, incredicontrol, exdialer, ivona, facebook, tasker, jellyB live wallpaper) have 87 Mo free RAM and its still fast and snappier than ever thanks to ZRAM and dixperia2 tweeks
CIFS isn't enabled and still have insmod problems like in doomkernel , @wedgess could you enable it in next update plz !

LuPuS-iCs-BeTa Kernel HERE
Just after downloading AOKP jellybean last night and wanted to use my kernel so thought I would
make another LuPuS and release it, obviously certain things are still meehhhhh like the CWM glitching
and the camera which are things in all Xplay JB kernels/ROMS. So I reduced it down a bit from FXP and
given an extra 18mb of Ram so its not 368mb Ram, don't wanna go any lower. Once camera is fixed i'll make a 720p
version as well. Everything else thats added is the same with my most recent CM9 update.
This kernel was just built so its up-to-date with all of FXP's sources

Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Superbad -
A "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
Darkside -
A "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
What else-----
-SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-(both)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).
- Added Cleancache
- Updated zRam
- Lzo compression/decompression speed doubled on average

Multiboot[/SIZE][/U][/B]
For help and support on Multiboot, please check fma965's thread - "Noob friendly guide to Multibooting Jellybean"​
Requirements:
Unlocked Vendor partition (see "Download/Installation" below)
System size below 310MB
ICS Only - AOSP-based ROM (not stock-based)

Features:
Huge thanks @CosmicDan
ICS and JB Support
One kernel, two worlds... you can install any AOSP-based ICS ROM (e.g. CM9, AOKP, etc) in any Slot (as long as it's multiboot aware, see below) and it will work automatically.
Team Win Recovery Project
CWM-Recovery has been replaced with the powerful TWRP. Full touch interface, file browser, backup names with keyboard, batch ZIP install, and more.
Multiboot RAMDisk
Pressing Vol-Down will now show a GUI for selecting which slot you want to boot or enter recovery on. Slot 2 and 3 are stored in ext2 images on your SDCard, and the process is fully automated and well-detailed to guide you through it. Please note that you can only install a ZIP in Recovery for Slot 2 and 3 if it is marked "Multiboot-aware" (see Compatibility section below).
Repair Tools
The Tools > Repair menu allows you to check your sdcard and sd-ext for errors and repair them. Also fix permissions and scan/repair Slot 2 and 3. This solves a lot of common problems with data and app2sd issues.
609MB data partition space
Cache is reduced to 8MB and system reduced to 280MB, giving a total size of 639MB for data. The ROM must be smaller than 280MB for this to work obviously (see "tested" section below). The cache is only 8MB so the kernel automatically links /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache (simulates MIUI behavior).
Wifi Module auto-install
If the wifi module on the system doesn't exist or is different to the one in the ramdisk, it will be installed/replaced automatically. As an additional fail-safe, the kernel has magic checking (module version) removed - so any module will install on this kernel (but that does not mean it will work!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Compatibility
The kernel has been tested and working on the following ROM's -
Turbo UI Preview (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Project Jellyzeus AOSP (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
SlimBean for Xperia Play GSM/CDMA (cj360's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
P.A.C Man-PA (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Paranoid Android (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
CM10 (Not multiboot-aware)
CM9 (Not multiboot-aware)
Please report if it works or not for other Jellybean/ICS-AOSP ROM's.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Bugs/Important Caveats
If your ROM has a "Reboot to Recovery" option, using it will load a broken Recovery where no mounts work. I can't fix this, so simply don't use it (just use Vol-Down on normal reboot).
Using Fastboot may trigger a "boot menu loop" - simply enter CWM-Recovery for any slot and then select reboot to solve it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Important info regarding safe Multiboot
Do NOT install a ROM ZIP in Slot 2 or 3 until it is marked "multiboot-aware". Otherwise the ROM will format/install to your internal, no matter *what* you do. For details on how to make a ROM multiboot-aware, see this post.
To get around a ROM not being multiboot aware (if you want to install it in Slot 2 or 3), simply install in Internal (Slot 1) as normal, then set up the second or third slot with "Copy from Internal" instead of "Blank". Then of course you can reformat and reinstall on Internal.
Make sure your SDCard is free of errors. If you encounter *any* issues with a ROM, do a full Repair in the Tools menu before reporting any issues.
*Never* unmount SDCard in Recovery for Slot 2 and 3. But Mounting USB Storage is 100% fine.

First-time users - Enter Multiboot Menu (Vol-Down key) and go to Internal > Recovery, then format system, data and cache before doing anything else. Very important.
If you cannot enter the Boot Menu or Recovery after flashing, you need to flash the FTF first.
If you are running LuPuS-jB-v6 or older, the partition map has changed (30MB moved from data to system). You MUST Nandroid Backup before flashing the v7 update, then Nandroid restore after flashing. Otherwise you WILL lose your data.

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
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. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This 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.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

- Make OMAP Voltage values manual addendum v0.9 useful for us.
- We are now rock stable even if we are under volted and overclocked.
I want to clear something out here:
Based on OMAP Voltage values manual addendum v0.9 by TI latest 2012,officially we are NOT Undervolted
BUT based on what B&N settings were in our sources we are!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- I fixed our source code in emif.h we had competely wrong ram settings
our EMIF_DDR_PHY_CTRL_1_BASE_VAL was 0x849FF it should be 0x049FF and am guessing that it was the cause of our random reboots and crashes *fixed*] together with wrong elpida ddr2 466Mhz settings also *fixed*
- OMAP2+: clock: Fix DPLL clock rounding
- Added 5mV into 1.3ghz frequency as a precaution(not that we weren’t stable! Based on OMAP Voltage values manual addendum v0.9
Reference OMAP4430_VDD_MPU_OPPTURBO_UV 1325000 Link
Issues fixed:
- Wake on charge
- Random Reboots are history
- Random Playback Crashes are less frequent.
Known Issues
- Alarm Clock can't wake up system so will never fire while system deep sleeps
The white flash on boot is on purpose and is a feature introduced by B&N to get Display exact fps so..NOT a bug

So as OP V06 is out
I want to make some big changes after this release but you must post here in this thread your requirements and opinion on it so we can collaborate.
1st is the sdcard change
I am thinking put the internal sdcard as default and as it should have been from the start imo.
I want to hear your views on this subject.
2nd is battery life
Subject
A) If i take Cpu at 1.2GHz 0r even 1.35Ghz more heat and lower battery life
B) If i set the lcd panel at the maximum manufacturer specification we will have more clarity better refresh rate but lower battery life
C) Gpu at 307mhz or 384Mhz(more heat and lower battery life )?
I await your responses so i can continue developing
Go for gold

I want to make some big changes after this release but you must post here in this thread your requirements and opinion on it so we can collaborate.
1st is the sdcard change
I am thinking put the internal sdcard as default and as it should have been from the start imo.
I want to hear your views on this subject.
2nd is battery life
Subject
A) If i take Cpu at 1.2GHz 0r even 1.35Ghz more heat and lower battery life
B) If i set the lcd panel at the maximum manufacturer specification we will have more clarity better refresh rate but lower battery life
C) Gpu at 307mhz or 384Mhz(more heat and lower battery life )?
I await your responses so i can continue developing
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let me be honest, I'm a performance monger and would like to see all of these incorporated. I'll sacrifice some battery life.

CHANGELOGS IN #2 POST
You can tweak multiple options of this kernel with TricksterMod, FauxClock, Kernel Adiutor, Synapse(r500 and up, definitely recommended to get the most available options) or similar apps. (They are all available on the PlayStore)
Note to MultiROM users : don't use the kernel sharing feature. Flash the kernel on each rom instead. Also, it may take more time booting on secondary roms when using F2FS. Don't worry and wait for a bit ​
Downloads (all kernels are compatible with both flo and deb)
Grab your build from here :
Glitch kernel r574 download - For AOSP 6.0.1/7.x.x and LineageOS 14.1​
Mirror + older builds : Mediafire​
FAQ :
What are the differences between "Full" and "Pure" builds ?
The "Full" builds are using Aroma Installer so you can tweak various options at flash time. At the end of the process, a file containing your settings will be created (/sdcard/glitch-settings.conf). The "full" builds are also able to restore your settings from Aroma after a rom flash or wipe for example.
On the other hand, "Pure" builds aren't coming with Aroma and will try to restore your settings from your SDcard, or use a default profile if none is found. Both Full and Pure builds are coming with a custom Synapse support to let you tweak all the core options on the fly once booted.
If you flash a "Pure" build without a profile, the default preset will be applied. It's been tweaked for a good balance between performance, power consumption, stability and functionality for day to day usage. The default settings applied are as follow :
- 1.7GHz max CPU freq (from 1.5GHz stock) / 1GHz max CPU freq when the screen is off / "Balanced" L2 OC
- msm_hotplug driver in place of msm_mpdecision
- 450MHz max GPU freq (inline with other Snapdragon 600 devices - from 400MHz stock)
- Safe CPU and GPU undervolting for lower heat and power consumption
- Deadline I/O sched / Interactive CPU governor
- Doubletap to wake and fastcharge enabled (Doubletap to wake will slowly drain power during suspend, so disable it if not used)
- Everything else is kept stock
What do I have to do to use F2FS on one (or more) of my partitions ?
First, BACKUP your data if needed, especially if you're planning to use F2FS on DATA partition, as changing filesystem will wipe the partition. Change partition formats as needed in your recovery. It is NOT recommended to convert system partition as F2FS as it'll be slower than EXT4 to begin with (as the partition is mostly read only) and will alter compatibility with many roms (especially CM/LineageOS based). The last thing to do is to flash any Glitch kernel with a revision number past r150. You can restore your settings from SDcard if any, the install process will detect the partitions and modify the ramdisk accordingly so you can finally boot and use your fresh FS.
What L2/cache OC setting should I use ?
This setting will overclock bus speed and RAM so it's a bit delicate to tweak, yet it can give a nice "free" global performance boost. A simple test to check for stability is to run the camera app 3 or 4 times in a row while waiting for 10 seconds between each launch. If your device freezes, it's unstable ! It's also the only setting you can't change on the fly once booted, either from Synapse or sysfs, and requiring a reflash (using Aroma or changing the value in /sdcard/glitch-settings.conf).
Let me give you some details about the available settings so you can choose wisely :
Stock (1.13GHz-4.26GBps) is the regular, out of the box, non OC setting.
Improved (1.19GHz-4.26GBps) is the same as "ElementalX" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Balanced (1.22GHz-4.66GBps) is the same as "Ultra" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Fast (1.35GHz-4.66GBps) is a nice jump over "Balanced", yet stable for most devices. A kind of sweet spot.
Extreme (1.43GHz-4.80GBps) is were most users will start to get issues. Provides a great boost if stable.
Glitchy (1.49GHz-4.80GBps) pushes your hardware to the limits. Will be unstable for most devices.​
Thanks to everyone helping me to debug and find new useful things to integrate !
Without all of you, this kernel wouldn't be !​

Latest release's changelog with words for humans :
14/09/2017 - r574 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.08;
- Added touchscreen-calibration fix patch by parrotgeek1;
Previous changes below :
17/07/2017 - r572 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
11/07/2017 - r571 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
29/06/2017 - r570 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.05.
03/06/2017 - r566 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Changed the behaviour of the permissive/not permissive switch to either force permissive or keep rom default (instead of forcing enforcing before) to prevent issues with some implementations;
- Added a service that restarts GMS (Google Mobile Services) post boot to fix memory leak/battery drain linked to them - Curently working in permissive mode only (like init.d and some advanced Synapse settings);
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 6.3.1-2017.05.
07/05/2017 - r565 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Added a simple check for the MPDecision service starting mechanism used by your rom : If it's using the same trigger as LineageOS (init.flo.power.rc), you'll be able to enable/disable the service at will after boot. If it's using a different trigger, the binary will be nuked the old way (renamed to mpdecision_bck) if you're using the in-kernel msm_hotplug driver (effectively preventing you to play with it after boot). It's not a solution that pleases me, but it will fix cases of both hotplug drivers loaded at the same time on non-LOS-based roms, and that's all that counts for now.
14/04/2017 - r564 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Corrected HZ reference in touchscreen driver.
30/03/2017 - r563 :
- Fix potential touchscreen inconsistencies on some panel revisions
- Fix gesture switch (S2S/S2W/timeout)
27/03/2017 - r561 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Backported high-resolution support for sched-clock;
- Fixed CPU detection on subsystem_restart;
- Make rpm clocks sleeping clocks;
- Pushed updates from franco kernel regarding GPU, CPU freq and video;
- Added Zen I/O scheduler (pretty nice sched to say the least);
- Enabled I/O is busy flag for msm_hotplug driver by default (boosts CPU freq during heavy I/O load -> big smoothness gains in many apps and games);
- Added compiler fixes and optimizations from alesaiko (breakfast kernel);
- Moved to latest Linaro GCC 6.3.1 compiler (as the changes above fixed high power consumption issues on GCC5+);
- Consolidated Synapse support. The path of the generated config file is now /data/synapse instead of ramdisk to keep it safe during rom upgrades and reboots. If you get a "No UCI support" message on first Synapse launch, just kill the app and relaunch it. It'll not happen again after that unless you wipe data or I'm forcing a regen in a future update.
- Fixed init.d injection not using the correct path for busybox since a few releases and updated the execution process to N standards;
- Changed the way we get rid of mpdecision to prevent the service from starting in the init process instead of renaming the binary. This enables the possibility to enable or disable mpdecision on the fly after boot, even if using msm_hotplug as default hotplug driver.
- Fixed missing options in Synapse;
- Added various smaller performance patches and optimizations as well as a few more variables to play with for nerdz and lolcats (see github commits);
- Tweaked debugging config;
12/03/2017 - r544 :
- Sync with latest LineageOS 14.1
- Disabled backlight dimmer by default - Added a note to Aroma installer about potential issues with some panel revisions
23/12/2016 - r543 :
- Sync with latest CM14.1
18/12/2016 - r542 :
- Enable RPFILTER (CM14.1 tethering fix)
05/12/2016 - r541 :
- SElinux switch now works on boot without needing root access. As a result, also removed related post-boot script hooks
- Added prebuilt config file for Synapse for faster launch and fix possible error on first launch (clear Synapse data if you get issues)
04/12/2016 - r540 :
Due to some of the changes in this build, restoring settings from sdcard backup (by flashing Pure Edition or restoring through Aroma) may lead to different settings being applied depending on what you set before. It is strongly suggested to use the Full installation at least once to update your settings or delete glitch-settings.conf on the root of your sdcard before flash to use the default preset.
- Post CM14.1 merge cleanup pass. It was definitely needed ! Including, but not limited to :
- Removed Lazyplug and Intelliplug hotplug drivers (due to conflicts leading to performance issues)
- Removed Dynamic Fsync / Added switch to disable Fsync (after corrupting ~15 installations with DynFsync, I don't feel like it's worth the slight I/O perf boost)
- Replaced Showp1984's DT2W by flar2's S2W/S2S/DT2W (the touchscreen issues I faced with it aren't reproducible anymore)
- Removed LZ4 and use XZ compression instead
- Removed WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT (couldn't see a measurable gain with it enabled)
- Removed ROW ioshed
- Rollback'd to older Intellidemand governor​- Reworked settings application and restoration system to work with CM14.1/without SuperSU and load it early during boot by init hooking (CM14.1 PCC livedisplay related race condition "fix" included). Note : MultiROM users, you may want to disable MultiROM menu if you have it enabled to further reduce the chances to trigger the issue (completely fixed it on my side). Feel free to report your findings on the matter.
- Added flar2's ElementalX governor
- Updated default profile (the one you get while flashing Pure package or using restoration option in Aroma without sdcard backup)
- Updated thermal profiles
- Updated available options in Aroma
- Updated busybox to 1.25.1 YDS and moved from /sbin to the more convenient and standard /system/xbin
- Updated Selinux switches to work with more roms (now working on CM14.1)
- Moved Synapse files from /data/synapse to /res/synapse in ramdisk
- Updated Synapse presets
- Updated Synapse settings (Aroma installer will give more gestures-related options though, at least for now)
29/11/2016 - r534 :
This kernel will only work with AOSP 7.x and latest CyanogenMod 14.1 based roms. If you get incorrect colors and slow UI, rollback to r533 CM.
- Rebased using CM14.1 tree
- Updated color controls to mimic CM's PCC implementation (Thanks @flar2)
07/11/2016 - r533 :
- Added SDCardFS support
- Fix for CVE-2016-3903
- Fix for CVE-2016-3934
- Fix for CVE-2016-7117
- Added LazyPlug switch and settings to Synapse (hotplug tab)
- Added DT2W switch to Synapse (misc tab)
- Fix GPU voltage range formatting in Synapse
- Fixes regarding power efficiency
- Contextual fixes and speedups
- Now building CM variant of the Nougat kernel too. AICP is the first N rom on this device to require a CM compatible kernel.
14/09/2016 - r530 :
- Modified rom injection/flash time mods logic to be more robust and universal. Fixes inconsistent boot or even bootlooping on hybrid F2FS roms like CyanogenMod or PureNexus THIS CHANGE MAY FORCE YOU TO REFLASH YOUR ROM TO BE ABLE TO BOOT (even on a non-hybrid rom - no wipe required)
- Fixed settings not applying after setting them through Aroma/glitch-settings.conf
- Security patch to avoid invalid access to ashmem area
- Security patch for vulnerability CVE-2016-2059
- Removed deprecated binary injection code
- Default thermal presets calibrated for better efficiency and performance (they were too aggressive in r520)
- Little naming change for the builds. Full is still "Full", but "Restore" is now "Pure". Pure edition is now fully standalone and doesn't require a previously generated profile from Full edition (but will gladly restore it as before if found during install). It can be fully tweaked through config file and/or Synapse like Full edition.
- Nougat build "Full edition" now has a Nougat themed splash screen for Aroma
- Synapse presets are now working. Make sure to press apply when Synapse comes back if you want to keep it ! (Make sure to clear Synapse data after first boot to force a regeneration !)
- Small things you won't notice
24/08/2016 - r520 :
- Rebase from latest AOSP sources
- Synapse support with many more features and personnalization available than ever before ! Aroma settings are a joke compared to what you'll have in Synapse. Don't flash UKM on top by the way, and make sure to clear Synapse data if you've flashed one of the previews. Even more to come soon.
- Updated Neobuddy89's msm_limiter driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Updated Neobuddy89's state_notifier driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Moved to Faux123's Intelli-thermal driver
- Added some memutils optimizations and more for performance
- Updated Xbox One gamepad driver
- Removed loads of dead code and buggy merges
- Switched to Linaro 4.9.4 toolchain - After weeks of testing, my tab runs cooler, stabler, and longer than with 5.x for an invisible performance difference. Worth it !
10/08/2016 - Preview r516 is available here. More options available in Synapse which is now also enabled with the "full" build, merged android-6.0.1_r0.105, and various other tweaks for speed and power savings. Full changelog here.
04/08/2016 - A preview (r513) is available here. Synapse part still needs some work. Notably, some hotplug drivers options are missing and you can't apply presets. The kernel itself should be stable enough for day to day usage.
12/07/2016 - r499 :
- Fix for glitch settings not applying if the rom doesn't use the init.trace.rc file (Dirty Unicorns is one of them)
- Sync fstab with latest cm13 (may fix usb otg on cm13 based roms in some specific configurations)
11/07/2016 - r478 r498 :
- Synced source up to android-6.0.1_r0.98 changes (latest)
- Getting ready for rebase and Synapse-compatible release
- Removed deprecated libs from r478 installer (fixes setperm errors on some custom/recent roms)
- Fixed CM compatibility
10/12/2015 - r412 :
- Merged with android-6.0.1_r0.1 changes
- PowerHAL patch to fully disable touchboost calls when Qualcomm MPdecision isn't used. This gets rid of the touchboost log spam and (small) overhead.
- Updated F2FS
- Installer scripts fixes and cleanups
- Added back CM build - untested
02/12/2015 - r410 :
- Updated base to linux 3.4.110
- Merged with android-6.0.0_r0.1 changes
- Added Neobuddy89's MSM Limiter driver, enabling max/min/suspend frequencies tweaking on the fly. No more need to reflash for that (/sys/kernel/msm_limiter/ for who's interested). Also added his state notifier driver for further tweaking.
- Removed MSM Sleeper as it's covered by MSM Limiter already
- Changed how settings are applied (moved from init.d script to service) to prevent permission denied issues (Thx Flar2). Due to changes to the way your settings are handled, it's recommended to make a full installation. Settings aren't retrocompatible with previous Glitch kernels !
- Performance and stability improvements by removing coresight from Adreno drivers and better CPU management/scaling through MSM Limiter
- Aroma slight changes to reflect internal changes (note : CPU uV is now applied for both 384MHz step and lower ones)
15/09/2015 - r361 :
- Fixed no mobile network issue on DEB
- Disabled unnecessary debugging
13/09/2015 - r360 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.17 changes
- Added Lazyplug hotplug driver by Arter97 (you may need to make a full installation if you want to switch to this driver)
- Updated F2FS
- Updated BFQ to v7r8
- Added experimental Nvidia relaxed power savings
- More fixes and various optimizations regarding performance and efficiency
09/09/2015 - r353 :
Note : CM related issues some are encountering aren't adressed with this update. CM team is breaking more and more stuff while using AOSP bases for the kernel and I won't make a CAF based version again. The updated toolchain and added fixes in this release may or may not help, but I won't provide support for CM related issues anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Fixed SELinux switches (You'll need to use the restore function in full package or just the restore package to switch between permissive and enforcing modes. Enabling it in glitch-settings.conf isn't enough for it to work.)
- Disabled Android Logger by default for less overhead
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.2.0 with LTO support
- Tiny fixes
02/07/2015 - r350 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.13 changes
- Fixed missing governors from previous release
- Added native support for Xbox One controller from Linux 3.17
- Fixed a potential instability case in idle state
- Updated base to linux 3.4.108
- Under the hood fixes
- CM and AOSP kernels are now sharing the exact same base for better stability and maintenance
08/05/2015 - Hotfix - r344 :
- Rolled back various GPU driver patches to fix some Chrome scrolling lockups and possible RR linked to the underlying bug linked to them
- Send enforcing=0 to kernel command line if you're using the permissive ramdisk mode (may fix boot on some non-standard roms - AICP still not booting for me though.. If you know why I'm all ears)
- Modify fstab.flo file in ramdisk even when using CM kernel (enables some non-standard CAF based roms with no "multi-mount fstab" support to boot - it mustn't exist, but better safe than sorry)
08/05/2015 - r343 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.10 changes
- Removed UKSM
- Disabled KSM
- Removed transparent compression support
- Replaced Flar2's S2W/DT2W by showp1984's DT2W
- Various F2FS changes from arter97 and Jaegeuk Kim
- Various backported drivers from arter97
- Updated Intelli-Plug
- Cleaned up base and bumped back to latest 3.4.y (3.4.107 atm)
- Enabled back kernel mode NEON
- Removed PIE bypass patch from Aroma
- Added Motorola's Qualcomm optimized memutils
- Added BFQ v7r7 ioshed
- Updated Intelliactive governor
- Fstab patching changes to fix boot on some non-standard roms
- Updated Random
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.1.0 with LTO support
- Added LTO optimizations
19/04/2015 - r330 :
After breaking my partitions while attempting to improve F2FS mounting time, I was forced to format everything. After my backup restoration and system reinstallation, r327 F2FS implementation is now booting faster than EXT4 on my tab (with mounting times of ~5sec versus 30+ before). So I've then decided to revert the planned F2FS changes for r330 (which made it 1sec faster before formatting, but much slower after) as it didn't make sense. If F2FS mounting time is bothering you, fully formatting your partitions and restoring your data will give you a nice performance reward in return.
- Added flush_merge to F2FS mount options for faster flushing
- Added "transparent compression" support (CM sync)
- Added back optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
- Enabled back unaligned memory access
- Switched to SIO ioshed (from ROW) at boot time as well as others small tweaks for possible further boot time improvements and smaller file size
16/04/2015 - r327 :
- Merged with android-5.1.0_r0.10 changes
- Updated F2FS implementation using Motorola's sources
- Cleaned up permissive ramdisk patches (fixed related SODs with it enabled)
- Introducing "restore" builds. You can now update your Glitch setup without Aroma using these builds. Your settings will be restored from the SDcard backup made by a previous Glitch installation, so if you don't have a "glitch-settings.conf" file in the root of your SDcard, please use a full build first to generate it ! The "full" builds are using Aroma as before.
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.03
07/03/2015 - r320 :
THIS UPDATE WILL NEED YOU TO REINSTALL YOUR ROM AND TO MAKE A FULL INSTALLATION OF THE KERNEL IF YOU'RE COMING FROM A PREVIOUS GLITCH RELEASE
- Updated F2FS implementation and bumped to latest
- Various scheduler optimizations - Better hardware use means potentially lower max OC !
- Improved boot times (At least with EXT4. F2FS mounting time feels a bit longer with the updated F2FS implementation)
- Reverted Slimbus OC as some users got issues with it
- Removed some ramdisk mods interfering with permissions
- F2FS/EXT4 detection script rewrite to preserve rom's fstab structure
- Added another permissive switch to disable SELinux enforcing (it will be enabled if you tick the permissive patch in aroma)
- Removed wifi patch from Aroma as it's now useless with lollipop
- Added some security patches from CM source
- CM kernel rebased on Glitch AOSP (again) - Looks good after a few days of intensive use
- A few little glitchy tweaks
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.02
16/01/2015 - r307 :
- Disable wake gestures by default
- Fix for a little color tweaking bug
- Updated CAF variant for CM12 support & sync with Glitch AOSP r307
Note : r307-CM is NOT compatible with CM11. It must be used with CM12 only.
12/12/2014 - r306 :
- Added vmalloc setting to command line to fix some video playback issues. Thanks to @szale9001 for pointing this out !
16/11/2014 - r303 :
- Added Chainfire's partial root ramdisk patch by default
- Added cernekee's PIE patch to Aroma (allows third party native executables to run, lowering security. Fixes various apps)
- Added SELinux permissive + sepolicy ramdisk patch to Aroma (enables full root access but lowers security. Fixes various apps)
15/11/2014 - r300 :
- Updated AOSP kernel with lollipop-release - BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH 4.4.x due to GPU driver changes !
- Removed interactive GPU governor
- Merged GPU patches from codeaurora & franciscofranco for better responsiveness and battery life
- Cleanups
26/09/2014 - r226-disabledAVS :
- r226 variant with disabled AVS for users with recurrent instability issues. Higher power consumption than standard build when used without uV.
Follow up to this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55566837&postcount=1943
22/09/2014 - r226 :
- Added experimental support for Kali Pwn Pad (as it was requested by some - Thanks for the list Flar2 )
- Disabled compaction (a little higher RAM consumption for higher performances - Doesn't seem to affect multi-tasking in a negative way)
- Disabled MSM hardware adaptive voltage scaling (should fix the last remnants of SoDs/RR happening for some even on other kernels - May lead to higher power consumption) I will make a test build with it disabled for who wants to try in the next days
- Updated Faux Sound to 3.6
- Enabled more TCP congestion-avoidance algorithms
- Enabled NFS support
- Moved exfat to built-in instead of module
- Added black magic

- Enabled various compiler optimizations (like some GCC graphite optimizations)
- Updated toolchain to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.2 2014.09
- Echo touch firmware version to logfile (/data/local/tmp/glitch-kernel.log)
10/09/2014 - r220 :
AOSP kernel only (CAF kernel will follow as soon as possible) :
- Rebase using latest Google source (fixing various bugs like SoD, random shutdown, slowdowns etc.) and staying on 3.4.0 base for now to prevent issues til I'm able to fix them all with latest Linux upstream
- Aroma Installer rework for less pages on fresh installation mode, similar to Flar2's presentation
- Added new options to Aroma installer
- Updated Flar2's S2W/DT2W system, enabling gesture support
- Replaced Showp1984's MPDecision by Fluxi's MSM Hotplug driver - new default
- Updated Faux123's Intelliplug hotplug driver as well as intellidemand & Intelliactive governors

- Updated Flar2's msm_sleeper
- Added a backlight dimmer function
- Cleaned up/removed a vast amount of old patches
- Added release number to internal kernel naming so you know what version you're on
- Added a wlan firmware override setting in Aroma. This is basically the same as using 4.4.4 PRIMAtor to enable 4.4.3 or lower support or to fix wifi on a few roms that are using older wifi blobs
- Slight tweaking here and there
- Removed kernel-based NEON support - Needs more testing
- Switched to LZ4 kernel compression - Higher kernel size but faster boot times
- Updated toolchain to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.2 2014.08
05/07/2014 - r151 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Base update from Linux 3.4.86 to 3.4.96
- Removed some unnecessary Aroma pages for faster navigation
- Removed Qualcomm-Optimized Dalvik/Bionic from Aroma to prevent users from softbricks when used on incompatible ROM
- Added F2FS support
- Added F2FS partition detection script to modify ramdisk accordingly at flash time. You will need to launch Aroma installer each time you change FS on supported partitions (DATA, CACHE & SYSTEM) to refresh the ramdisk configuration (you can restore your glitch settings to do that btw, no need to clean install). You can use all of them as F2FS, or just one, you decide.
- Enabled Intelliactive governor
- Added CTCaer's patch to restore forced TS firmware update sysfs
05/06/2014 - r147 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Merged with 4.4.3
- Base update from Linux 3.4.82 to 3.4.86
- Switch to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.1 toolchain
25/02/2014 - r142 :
- Base update from Linux 3.4.79 to 3.4.82
- Added 81 MHz CPU frequency
- Updated ondemand governor
- Switch to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.8.3 toolchain
- Disable input-boost by default in Aroma
07/02/2014 - r140 :
- Update to Linux 3.4.79
- Switch to XZ compression
- Add kernel mode NEON support as well as NEON accelerated AES & XOR implementations
- Fix CPU load miscalculation
- jbd2 and ext4 optimizations
- Add max screen off frequency support - Thanks to Flar2 (if disabled in Aroma, changing frequency in apps won't have any effect)
- Add UKSM 0.1.2.2 support
- Add dynamic management of dirty page writebacks
- Enable Wiimote HID support
- Enable USB printer support
- Bugfixes
Aroma installer overhaul :
- Reworked installation process to be clearer and more customizable
- Added an automatic backup of your settings to the root of your internal SDcard
- Added a restoration mode to get your settings from internal SDcard backup back on any rom (cross-compatible with Glitch kernel variants)
- Renamed /system/etc/settings.conf to glitch-settings.conf to make it more obviously glitchy
- Removed the need to set CPU OC, L2/cache OC and auto-uV again when keeping previous settings (now reading it from your settings at flash time. Note : editing this part in /system/etc/glitch-settings.conf requires a reflash using the "already glitched" option)
- Added Qualcomm optimized Dalvik/Bionic libraries into the installer (bionic only on CM variant) so you can install/restore them with the kernel
- Added I/O scheduler, CPU governor, read-ahead buffer size, fast charge, max screen off frequency and maximum multi-core power savings to available settings
- Fixed how the min CPU clock is applied to make it more robust and work better with governors
- Fixed how the min CPU freq uV is applied to make it work independently of the min freq (by subtracting the uV amount to the original voltage instead of forcing plain values) - Also, make it capable of setting uV for all freqs for future use.
- Changed the auto-uV menu to reflect the internal changes
- Fixed some permissions issues
- Added hotplug driver check so it's possible to restore it as well from settings without interference
- Change theme
25/01/2014 - r132 :
Performance and stability improvements :
- Enhanced memory management
- Lower CPU overhead
- Improved I/O speed in many cases
- Improved ondemand governor behavior
- Fix a memory leak
- Fix some msm_bus bugs
- Fix a false error report in Aroma log
CM kernel only :
- Fixed the "black caterpillar" bug
- Improved GPU performance consistency
23/01/2014 - r130 :
- Faux123's LCD color control driver updated to Flo version (thanks to him to make it opensource), adding gamma control. (You'll need FauxClock to tweak it - color is still available from TricksterMod)
- Some GPU driver related bugfixes
- Implemented LoUIS API for cache maintenance operations
- Update base to Linux 3.4.77
- Revert some CAF updates (fixes some L2 corruption that could lead to random reboots / black screens)
- Battery life improvements
- Some cleaning
CM kernel only :
- Fixed color control
- Fixed random heavy GPU performance drop
- Changed memory allocation to be in line with CM
- Changed naming in Aroma to differentiate from "pure" AOSP
Older changelogs are available here
Looks like a nice kernel that will really show what this device can do

Thanks.
That's what I'm trying to make. And I *think* (may be wrong though) I'm the only one yet using a fully working GPU OC implementation on flo kernel. It's an adaptation of Galaxy S IV's (i9505) GPU OC code from Team Hydra.
It seems 627 MHz is around the max possible with stock voltage, probably even 600 MHz for many. I'll see what it can do with a bit more juice.
Other things to do : add more frequency steps for the CPU, lock the default freq, and make the L2/bus speed configurable.
After that I think we'll be able to push the thing to the limits if we want to.
Thanks for your hard work I'm going to try it on pacman ROM I'll let you know how it goes

I wanna show u my settings, I use trickster, so sound and faux kernel app to get the results I need was going to show you pictures but all the sudden XDA premium has no picture button I'm a little lost their. Touch responses phenomenal and just like faux kernel the sound is this did really well I can finally listened stock sound sucks on this product even know what has supposedly way better speakers, thanks to people like you I can actually hear the videos I watch without headphones now. Thank you very much I've been using it for about 5 minutes swimming around on everything and everything smooth as hell

I'm kinda pissed,paid XDA apk all of a sudden has no way to show pictures. Argggg

The problem exists on the free app as well ^^
Try scrolling up and down away from the images and back on them, it'll eventually show up at some point.
Thanks for your work. I'll give this kernel a try.
Coming from N4 motley kernel I'll love to use init.d scripts to set up color "calibration", sleep states, etc. What do you think about implementing / documenting such features for your kernel?
Otherwise, let me see if I need something. Hm, what about USB OTG and ntfs/f2fs support?
USB OTG is working out of the box. NTFS/F2FS support isn't. I'll look into adding them =)
Your idea is nice, I'll think about it.
Thanks =)
Do you plan on adding Faux's color mod? I will give this kernel a shot and report back.

I am running the kernel right now. All I can say is "wow".
You did a fantastic job cherry-picking the best features from various kernels. I notice a slight increase in smoothness compared to Faux's kernel plus D2W and all the other great features you added so I think this may be my new main kernel.
I will use it over the next few days and report any issues I find and how the stability is. Thanks a lot for your work.
Edit: Also, I am running CleanROM and everything seems fine.
Thank you, so it may work with any rom then ! Good to know CM didn't break too much stuff leaving AOSP base.
sleep to wake, doubletap to wake disabled by default? don´t need it xD
need a fast stable kernel and especially want to disable fsynch. if u run a stable rom it justs takes useless power xD
i´m pretty new to the nexus7 like the most of us . is that kernel stable?
atm i´m using faux´s, also used franco. i dunno, but on franco´s i couldnt change gpu govenor and the 3dmark benchmark was about 3000points, stock is about 6000-7000. pretty strange.
i am a pretty minimalistic user, want best batterylife/performance ratio. only using psx, best rom for me
i think i´ll try that kernel
edit: what does "Snake Charmer" do?
edit2: read s2w stuff enabled by default, can it be disabled via trickster?
My N7 is running great with your kernel. Let's see what about perfomance and stability in two or three days. After checking and playing with trickster I miss a kind of dynamic fsync and a color calibration interface - compared to N4 m+ (motley) kernel.
Perhaps you can implement some upstream changes / patches directly from CAF or newer kernels.
It would be nice if you post some information about L2 speed hack, etc. So that everyone can see what this hacks do.
Which file are we supposed to use, they are all dated 20130919. I'm guessing the. 904.

dunno if latest point is time in this case when you compare it to upload date. but yes it seems to be latest. upload time and build date can be different, so i think it´s the time.

Just a heads up for those who want to disable swipe2wake or doubletap2wake, you can turn them off with the Trickster app but I did not find a setting in the FauxClock app.
