you know, you only have to say "RAM" once

dun think a toshiba e805 will support WM5, unless someone out there decides to make a custom ROM for it.
The e805 if i remember is quite old now. Why dont you ditch it and buy an alternative like the Dell X51v which has an awesome display and an affordable price.
looks like its time for your to upgrade

old... yes but..
hey guys,
i know its old but as a machine, i think its really great, i still have one of these.. and i would say, i too would love to see wm5 for it or 6... i had an ipaq hx2700 series model and it moved from 2003se to wm5 and 6.. so why not the toshiba too, its got good memory and nice connectivity . Lets do it!

First step before install & kernel switch:
Always have this cleaning script on your internal SD card ready
If you're
- switching kernels,
- have issues with auto-rotation,
- the cam,
- bootloops
- want to remove init script
- recover from a failed overclock attempt
please give either:
- lippol94's updated cleaning script (apply via CWM recovery): http://www.multiupload.com/XFH1GCK4MB
or
- WiwiPouPou's SYSTEM CLEANER SCRIPT (also apply via CWM recovery): (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14805606&postcount=21739)
a try
the kernel already applies some cleaning steps during install but sometimes that's not enough ...

Introduction:
Hi guys,
this is my first modded kernel for the SGS (CM7/MIUI only)
I first needed to test it to make sure that it'll be stable & boot at the first place
so far it's very fast & responsive & smooth
This thread shall serve as the center for my testing kernels (stability & functionality-wise)
DISCLAIMER: the kernel (binary) and driver modules are provided as is. If problems occcur they most probably are from upstream and can be fixed with the newest version. Since I'm doing this in my free spare time as a hobby (quenching my thirst for tweaks & performance) updates will occur irregularly as time permits and I see fit (most probably when new features & bugfixes arrive). YOU are responsible for the actions that you take (such as over- or underclocking), etc. You agree that I can not be held liable for any potential damage that arises from your actions in combination with or the usage of this kernel and other related parts.
Kudos:
* Google, Andy Rubin & the whole Android crew
* Linus Torvalds & the kernel hackers for upstream Linux
* cyanogen & all the devs out there hacking on this
* Supercurio for enriching our media experience of this smartphone
* codeworkx, coolya, guiper, atinm - the whole teamhacksung|cmsgsteam crew and all other hackers working on CM7
* laststufo, hardcore, nikademus, existz and all the other kernel hackers on the SGS forum
* zen-kernel team for inspiration to create a kernel, too
* all other contributors (devs, users, etc.) who make this possible
The purpose of these kernels is extensive stability testing addressing the following sticking points:
- overall stability & functioning of the kernel and phone
- call drops, missed calls, etc.
- lags (suggestions for improvements are welcome)
- auto-rotation, sensors, etc.
- Voodoo Control Plus [any crashes ? compatibility problems ?]
- working on CM7 or MIUI ?
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation & lags: Tap Tap Revenge 4 (especially at the beginning of songs)
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation and any other issues: doodle dash (while shooting & sound activated)
- proper pmem memory layout & settings: proper functioning of Google Googles

Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1600 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1440 MHz - 1.475v / -75mv
1400 MHz - 1.450v / -75mv
1300 MHz - 1.400v / -75mv
1200 MHz - 1.350v / -75mv
1000 MHz - 1.250v / -50mv - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - 1.200v / -75mv
400 MHz - 1.050v / -100mv
200 MHz - 0.950v / -150mv
100 MHz - 0.950v / -200mv - (can be very different between two devices)
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.

modems:
Description:
Modems play a crucial role in how much battery drains in standy.
e.g. if you have a good signal area and the modem still has high
"Time without a signal" indicator under Cell standby you still will get bad standby time
make sure you have little to no "Time without a signal" in Cell standby
there also somewhat seems to be a connection between "Time without a signal" and high "Android OS" number in battery use (!)
Following modems are only compatible with new radio (modem) partition layout:

FAQ / Documentation
@bootloop / boot post victims ^^
Hi guys,
could you please try to replace the existing kernel on your MIUI or CM7 nightly CWM-Package with my kernel, modules and its scripts ?
then install that updated package (with the new kernel, modules and scripts)
after that all should work
the bootloops seem to be an issue with bml_over_mtd (broken sectors on the SSD on your phone)
I'll investigate this and see if anything needs to be rewritten and/or updated in that regard
Thanks !
Overclocking / Undervolting:
Q: I'm new in OC/OV operations so please could you explain to me how to set it in the best way?
A: start with -50 mV (delta from default value) other values probably are too low
my testing includes:
- Angry Birds Rio (several missions)
- Gun Bros (for some time)
- mp3 playback, (flac playback - optional)
- surfing the web via browser, opening up bit.ly links from cmsgsteam twitter feed
- watching youtube video
- watching video via rockplayer lite or mobo video player
- running benchmarks (Smartbench 2011, quadrant standard, an3dbenchXL, anTutuBench)
- Labyrinth Lite (for gravity sensor), auto-rotation (also for sensor)
when 1 GHz (1,2 or 1,3) is OK - go lower with undervolt value (e.g. -75 mV)
after it gets un-stable - go back to last known stable value
then you can limit max frequency to lower one, e.g. 800 MHz
and repeat testing for that frequency

LED Support FAQ
Q: Do LED notification require an app, such as BLN, etc ?
A: No. It uses Android's and Cyanogen settings, other apps are not required, although some that are designed for regular LEDs may work.
Q: How to I turn off LED notifications, scheduled or/and complete turn off?
A: Use Cyanogen's Quiet Hours feature (settings>cyanogen>sound>quiet hours) and check "Dim the LEDs during quiet hours" (in reality it will turn them off on the SGS). If you schedule a complete day, then LED notifications will be off all the time.
Q: How do I setup per app, find other LED settings etc?
A: Settings>cyanogen>interface>LED notifications
Q: What to do with LED color settings?
A: We have only one color, so that doesn't work. Use Green as default setting. Some non-bright colors turn off notification, as it's the equivalent as diming LEDs (note that on real LEDs if you dim them too much they look like off too anyway, the difference is that it's gradual. On the SGS the LEDs can be only on or off, not gradual)
Q: How can I troubleshot my system, I can use ADB but...
A: adb logcat | grep lights (on linux) will show you Android requests to turn LED on or off. "status" tells you what we decide will be interpreted as "turn LED on" (1= on, 0 = off)
adb shell cat /proc/kmsg for live view (or adb shell dmesg if you're using adb after the issues occurs - careful the backlog is limited in size so don't be too slow)
notify_led_on and notify_led_off are requests to the kernel to turn LED on or off.
touch key write/read errors (cypress) are non-fatal failures to ask the touch key to do something (eg lit up the LED), when the hardware goes crazy or there's a logical error in the code (can be both)
touch key recovery routine or "stopped responding" are either hardware errors, either a logical error where the driver would try to write something the touchkey doesnt understand. in some occasion lock&unlock fix those as a work around, of course a permanent fix is required

SGS CM7 nightlies wiki
http://sgscm7nightlies.pbworks.com/w/page/41483487/FrontPage
Android OS bug, :
(thanks to ceriko ! and his awesome guide for DarkyROM 10.1)
If your battery drains very fast and your battery stats mentions Android OS above 10%, often between 40 and 60%, sometimes more, this is the best to do as far as I know:
- Remove the 2/3 system files as per the beginning part of this guideguide about batterie issues.
- Install WatchDog and open (I set it to "moderate", then I close it, that's all), this app will warn you whenever an app or a process miss-behaves by draining the battery excessively. It will not fix it but just flag it and you will see a notification.
- Reboot usually stops the drain for a while until it naturally comes back, so reboot whenever you see Android OS above 10% and rising or after you see WatchDog mentioning "Suspend" process using too much battery (the suspend process hanging is the Android OS bug).
- Some apps trigger it, most common are Gameloft games (blame Samsung, not the games/apps). No need to use apps or games for this drain to happen, it also happens straight after boot once phone has been fully charged.
This bug can not be fixed by anyone but Samsung. Some never see it, some will experience it everyday no matters what they do... It's just annoying and unfair but that's the same on all Gingerbread releases by Samsung (JVK, JVB, JVO, JVH). Apparently even the SGS2 has this...
screenstate scaling aka my governor won't change after screen locked:
So what is this all about ?
it's an init script that is put in to /system/etc/init.d
and switches between the configured governors in the script
depending on whether the screen is on (AWAKE_GOVERNOR) or off (SLEEP_GOVERNOR)
in most cases your phone is off - in that case it would be good to use a governor which doesn't fire up the cpu frequency too fast since you don't need it (no GUI, smooth scrolling, etc. needed while the screen is off - lol),
so conservative governor is set
when using the phone (screen on) it really depends on what you want to do: e.g. latency & smoothness is crucial: try smartass2, smartass, ondemand;
you're mainly browsing & reading stuff: try ondemandb, conservative (the screen is already burning enough battery so you don't need another component burning yet more)
only use one governor at a time
e.g.
AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
that means lines with "#" are commented out and not used by the script
e.g.
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
also would work (intentionally not filled in any governors)

Troubleshooting & short-FAQ:
- WIFI & stuff not working ?
lippui94 cleaning script, then wipe dalvik, then fix permissions, then kernel - eventuall governor switch - , then wipe dalvik, then wipe cache, then fix permission
- reboots during calling ?
please report ASAP !
this is supposed to be fixed & a non-issue [if it's still happening try with different nightly]
- Radio (phone function) not working ?
new RIL kernels only work with nightlys > #12 on the SGS (including #12)
- phone is not as smooth as with previous kernel releases
yeah - sorry, might be due to the fact that I'm forced to use stock toolchain (less optimized toolchain)
sticking points to test & feedback:
- call drops, reboots during calling & potential instabilities
- general stability (if this also happens on stock: post but add a note that it's from stock - thanks !)
- BT & WIFI switching
- HD video recording & playback (is smooth for me during playback, recording with HD & Youtube HD works)
- mic recording, HD video + sound (tested & should work)
- iptables
- battery runtime
- smoothness

I think ill stick with neo 3 it is the only kernel with working bln on miui. And is very fast and stable no complaints.

i just flashed neo 4 on lasted cm7 build. getting no service..

I just tried the old ril one and I had no service either on the new cm7 update.

Yeah, no service for me either

So far so good for me, flashed the old RIL on CM7 V8 and everything is working.

good on latest miui im running with UV its a little slow, does undervolting too much reduce speed or just stability?

[KERNEL][stable: M1 (2.6.39.4) - exp: Alpha 31 (3.1.10)] Kowalski Kernel

This kernel supports both new and old bootloader and apparently it's also the favorite kernel of the MIUI team (****ing thieves...) !
This is not a "phonsole" kernel, it's not made for draining your battery in a nanosecond because "it's cool to play tegra3 designed games on the p990", so there is overclock, but done "The Right Way™".
Our phone is quite powerful on its own, but LG and Nvidia made a really crappy job on optimizing it. I'm just working to make it a bit better and to provide a reliable, stable and battery friendly kernel to all those people who actually use a phone... as a phone...
There are experimental/unstable versions that i release every now and then for public testing. Official kernels are released when the beta testing phase is done and 100% of the feedback is positive. Don't ask for ETA or you'll be fish slapped... badly !. This of course is not valid in case a nasty bug slips in the release, in which case i'll do my best to fix it within a few hours.
Features
* Compiled in release mode (all debug stripped)
* Battery friendly, performance aware
* 3G modem runtime/suspend idle mode support
* Enhanced wifi power management
* Runtime wifi power management control via sysfs
* Bluetooth deep sleep without disconnections
* OC up to 1.2 GHz on stable releases and up to 1.5 GHz on experimentals
* Dynamic FSync by Faux123, backported from Linux 3.4
* 32M ramhack on the new bootloader, 24M on the old one (for now)
* ROW scheduler by Qualcomm, backported from Linux 3.4
* BFQv5 scheduler, backported from Linux 3.4
* Dynamic Interactive governor, backported from Linux 3.2
* Interactive governor aligned with Google's upstream sources (Linux 3.4)
* Simplified cpu hotplug, the second core will turn off in deep sleep mode
* Single/Dual core mode
* Support for notification lights on compatible roms
* Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP to increase network reliability
* Westwood TCP congestion algorithm enabled by default
* Support for NTFS (read only) and HFS+ filesystems
* Support for NFS 3/4
* Support for custom leds brightness from userspace
* Support for USB fast charge [ Don't keep it active when connected to a pc or it may damage your usb ports. It's meant for fast charging when using car/plane adapters for example ]
* And loads more...
* Comes bundled with Kowalski Manager by wfd
Q & A
Q: Battery !!! Why it's so baaaad ! My phone doesn't sleep !!!
A: Well, don't get it badly, it's not really my problem, is it ? 99.999% is an app you have installed that's preventing deep sleep...
Q: App X crashes ! OMG I lost my sdcard ! Noooo all my data are gone !!!
A: Read again on top, not my fault, sorry. I try my best to give out a stable kernel, but "**** happens" and i can't control it...
Q: I get tons of bsods, my phone doesn't wake up from sleep, it freezes and omg... it just exploded !!!
A: No dmesg / logcat, no party. And please don't post messages like those in the thread if you're not ready to attach a log to the post.
Q: When will you enable gpu overclock, road runner speed mode or wile e. coyote immortality ?
A: Never... on a second thought... maybe... who knows ?
Q: When will you release the new version ? It's a week we're using the old one !!
A: Is it stable ? Then please allow me to fish slap you with a huge trout !

The downloads labeled as "kowalski-*-XXX-YYYbl" are obviously the kernels for [YYY=old || YYY=new] bootloader and XXX represents the version number.
* In Kowalski Manager on kernel 2.6.39.4 you can change the power management settings of the wireless card:
- PSP Power Saving Mode ---> your wifi card will use Max PSP when asleep. The kernel default is to sleep in Fast PSP mode.
- Awake Power Management ---> your wifi card will use Fast PSP when awake if enabled, otherwise will use CAM mode.
- Hotspot Power Management ---> when enabling hotspot mode, your wifi card will use Fast PSP if enabled, otherwise the default is to use CAM mode.CAM (Constantly Awake Mode)
Keeps the client adapter powered up continuously so there is little lag in message response time.
Consumes the most power but offers the highest throughput. Is recommended for desktop computers and devices that use AC power.
Fast PSP (Power Save Mode)
Switches between PSP mode and CAM mode, depending on network traffic. This mode switches to CAM when retrieving a large number of packets and switches back to PSP after the packets have been retrieved.
Is recommended when power consumption is a concern but you need greater throughput than that allowed by Max PSP.
Max PSP (Max Power Savings)
Causes the access point to buffer incoming messages for the client adapter, which wakes up periodically and polls the access point to see if any buffered messages are waiting for it. The adapter can request each message and then go back to sleep.
Conserves the most power but offers the lowest throughput. Is recommended for devices for which power consumption is the ultimate concern (such as small battery-powered devices).​Source will be pushed to my github about 2 or 3 days after a release, to make sure that no major bugs are introduced in the public repository.
This kernel can be compiled with any gcc 4.6.X that supports graphite loop optimizations, so if you want to compile it by yourself you'll have either to build your own toolchain (for example using crosstool-ng), or use one of the many linux prebuilt ones (for example Linaro or CodeSourcery). Make sure they're 4.6.X. Earlier versions may complain a lot and generate and unstable kernel. Newer versions (aka 4.7+ won't produce a bootable kernel at all unless source modifications are done).
Please don't rip-off my work. Please don't kang this kernel. Please don't c&p from my github without proper credit. I'm a nice guy, but i will report you.
Thanks

How-Tos
Change the default TCP Congestion Algorithm
To see what algorithms are available you can, in a terminal/adb console, type: "sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control"
To change the default congestion algorithm, type: "sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=one_of_the_names_that_came_out_before"​
Change the Wifi Power Management modes
In a terminal/adb shell navigate to /sys/kernel/wifi_pm.
You can change the high power management setting by typing: "echo 1 > max_pm" to enable it, or "echo 0 > max_pm" to disable it (cam / psp modes).
This setting will enable/disable the PSP power saving mode when the phone is asleep. Be careful, not all the routers are happy with it.
You can change the awake (screen on) power management setting by typing: "echo 1 > wake_pm" to enable it, or "echo 0 > wake_pm" to disable it (off / cam modes)​
Change the leds brightness
In a terminal/adb shell navigate to /sys/class/leds/star_led.
You can change the high value setting by typing: "echo XXX > max_brightness" to modify it, where XXX can be a value between 0 (off) and 255 (max).​
Change WiFi TxPower
Interestingly enough, Broadcom/LG decided that they want us all dead in a very short time so they set the default txpower of the wifi chip to 32dBm (that's a whopping 1.6 Watts in power). Considering that the US FCC sets a top limit of 30dbM/1W for antennae and that the EU sets a max power of 20dBm/100mW for consumer products, i'd say that Broadcom and LG are quite some nice companies... also wonder how they went past controls with this one...
Anyway, i packed a flashable zip that will install the "iwconfig" and "iwlist" binaries to /system/xbin in your phone. After flashing this one you can, from a terminal, modify the txpower value in real-time depending on your needs (if at home 5 mts from the router, or in a park 100 mts from the access point). For now a binary, soon an apk to handle this, so bear with me and wait
You can download the package from here
To check the current txpower value
Code:
su
iwconfig wlan0
To set the new txpower value
Code:
su
iwconfig wlan0 txpower XX (where XX is the value in dBm)
On this link you can find a W -> dBm conversion table that might come in handy
Side notes: 1) To use iwconfig your wifi must be on and 2) When you turn it off/on or reboot, the setting will be reset to 32dBm for now.​
Alsa Mixer
There ya go, for all of you a little deaf that love some real crackling from your phone's speakers
Packaged in a nice cwm flashable zip (alsa_mixer.zip) that you can find here is a collection of binaries that will be installed in /system/xbin and that will allow you to alter a bit the volumes of your phone. Of course you'll have to slap the values that you like in an init.d script once you find them, or they won't persist on reboot.
For example, to boost a bit the speaker volume, you can type: alsa_amixer sset "Speaker" "60" (max is 63) and to see the current setting you type: alsa_amixer sget "Speaker"
I suggest that you look into the alsa_amixer help and experiment a bit with the values. You can't break anything, and a reboot will reset all the values to default ​

"Official" cm releases are so filled with bugs that we should call an exterminator lol
First let's try to get a 10 stable, then we move to 10.1... that's the plan and i won't deviate that soon from it.

Hi!, thanks for this release.
I have one question that I cannot answer from the OP... why is there a separate file for the PSP module? Should I flash it after the kernel or it's not mandatory? Is it valid for both BL versions?
Thanks

Awesome, your kernel runs excellent on my O2X(now at 13/01). No SODs whatsoever and very stable since first releases.
If people have SOD problems, it is not always kernel related. I have swapped my device for a new one after lots of black screen issues and with the new one I have almost 0 issues even with the same ROM+kernel.
It seems our device has many different (good and horrible)hardware revisions, I suggest to swap your device at the retailer if it is possible within your warranty.

Updated op. It's valid for both bootloaders and it's not mandatory. The psp module will enable the PM_MAX flag when the phone is asleep, so make sure your router/ap supports PSP mode (if it has a broadcom chip then it does for sure) or your phone will lose packets when in deep sleep.
The gain in battery life though is gigantic... you decide

The Kernel work in P.A.C.Man fine too... Both Bootloader

About led lights I noticed that if I put "always on" with a very dim light this setting doesn't apply system-wide. If I receive a mail with gmail all fine but if I get a text via a third-party app like whatsapp or viber the light goes full brightness (but it respects the "always on" setting). I had to set a custom brightness for every application manually.

* Full 2-way sync (not on-demand sync)
* Fast offline global/local text search
* Rich editor tools
* Settings for fine tuning performance/memory consumption
* Popup dictionary
* Multiple markdown syntax support (GFM, PHP Markdown Extra, etc.)
* LaTeX syntax for mathematics formulas
* Popup dictionary support
* Tasker support
* Metadata/tags
* Widgets
Thanks for your time.

* Improved Advanced Search integration
* Android L Roboto fonts
* Experimental markdown symbol bar (via Settings)

Seems like an excellent back to school app,or if you are in the office. I would like links for reviews on Youtube.

Thanks for checking it out.
Sorry it doesn't have a video review yet.

Experimental "Ok Google Note to Self" support

* Fixed Lollipop crashes
* New Dropbox sync module

Added experimental support for Samsung Multi-window

Closed, no longer being supported.

S6 Camera plus mod v1

Hey. I just started modifying the camera app for s6.
For now HDR, Focus tracking and effects are unlocked for qhd and 4k mode
Slightly increased video bitrate for 1080p and 4k
This mod is work in progress...
What I'm trying to do now:
-Replace shutter speed in pro mode from (8s to 12s) and (10s to 24s)
-Enable OIS and EIS at the same time. For now with galaxy s6 you can use only OIS (when stabilization off) or EIS (when stabilization on)
*So I'm comparing code from galaxy s7 that can use both OIS and EIS at the same time.
-Remove time limitations when recording.
So I'm looking for someone to help me

If you want to active help me with this mod join my discord chanel: https://discord.gg/DuUkn47
(Not much skills required)

also here's the link for s8 camera 2.0 that he metioned
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/themes-apps/s8-camera-port-t3592871

Is there a download for mod anywhere? Preferred for S6 G920P 7.0 . Tried replacing xml's, nothing changes.

If anyone is interested, I made a 4K 150Mbps mod of a mod.

I am interested can you also do 1080p60 50 Mbps
And 4K 75mbps for me?

Never mind

Had this gained any traction at all besides the v 1.0 ?
