Is there anyone that knows where to find or plan to port bln kernel on our i9001??
as far as i know,bln depends on the bln.c file and the liblights module
ask someone like manveru0 or neldar to help

I've once included it testwise in my kernel. I was too lazy to compile new liblights so I've taken them from the internet. Anyway the whole thing freezed my device everytime I activated bln.
There are several reasons why I've not included bln till today:
1. You need an extra tool just to activate bln thus another service running and more memory used.
2. You need to change your liblights which ain't a problem so far. But what if you wanna go back to a non bln version? You then need to copy the old liblights back to your device.
Anyway BLN has definitely not the top priority in kernel patching for the moment (reducing battery drain is more important right now).
Ok thanks a lot .
I'll wait until then, because i'm so interested on that but i have no idea or enougth knowledge to do it.
It's been a while since November. Any progress in this issue? Dou you need people to test?
I asked sakindia123 in its kernel post, because this feature has to be included in a kernel and his is the only custom kernel available, besides from the stock-mod by crybert.
Well manveru0's Feamod kernel is also customized. And he already tried it but found it low priority.

So maybe you could try contact him but if already tried and dismissed the idea...
I don't know why he finds it low priority when it's one of the most important features in the galaxy S series' custom kernels.
In fact, it's what i miss the most from the SGSII or SGS i9000.
well since manveru0 quited the GT-i9001 dev team could be anyone else to try add (at least) BLN to our "unwanted SGS child" aka SGS+ ?

I'm trying to get the kernel I've been working on for Captivate working on Vibrant. This poses a bit of a problem, because while I have access to a Vibrant kernel and initramfs, and a known-working config for Vibrant, I lack access to a phone.
I've forked a test branch based on what I have so far. I would appreciate pretty much any of the following:
a volunteer to build this kernel or test a binary
a volunteer to help with Vibrant development
any other Vibrant-specific details that don't apply to Captivate or to SGS in general
I have already built a binary, but it is mostly untested. I want to make it very clear that this is a testing kernel. It should work, it should not break anything... but it might not boot, it might wipe data, I haven't heard of it happening to anybody yet but it's certainly not impossible that it might damage hardware. These are unlikely, except for not working, but are all possible outcomes of trying this kernel. If you want to test this, read the OP in the thread for the Captivate version, have backups of your data ready, preferably duplicated to a hard drive or an SD card that is removed before testing. Have Odin3 and a stock Vibrant kernel on hand, and have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
If it hangs starting up, wait a bit, then pull the battery and start in recovery without trying to start up normally. Then, start clockworkmod, mount /system, and use adb to pull /system/user.log - this should contain a log of what happened when the user init scripts ran, and may provide clues as to what went wrong. You can make sure it doesn't include anything you don't want to reveal, and just PM it to me or join #sgs_dev on freenode and talk to me or some other developers there - perhaps a dev with a Vibrant will have a better idea where to start.
In the long term, I would not mind somebody forking the github repository to work on any Vibrant-specific issues. I can then try to pull changes from a fork and do builds for both phones, if somebody doesn't want to do the Vibrant builds themselves.
Good luck, and thank you.
if no one volunteers by the time I finish installing openSUSE I'll give it a whirl. the binary that is.

ill be more than happy to test the binary
I too will be more than happy to give any sort of help possible. Should this be a start from a stock kernel and build deal, ie stock kernel stock rom just rooted with clockwork?

If you're using a lagfix with the playlogos hack you should undo it first, or set up your user init script to run in the new early user init. Other than that anything that works with a stock kernel should still work.

I'm about to build from your source i just forked to see whats diff then mine. They look though to be about the same except for nilFS
I will probably fork and maintain a vibrant tree with ivan who also has a Vibrant. That way we can get the best of both worlds. And being that we are in the same IRC we pretty much have identical mods to our kernels.
So most likely any changes you make to your captivate Kernel will end up in the vibrant branch as well and I also have the device to test with
See ya in IRC

haha if ur talking about the linux distro i know what u mean
Excellent news! I have some things in my tree I think you could use here, too, but it's much easier to have a developer with a Vibrant who can build them and test immediately.
What advantages does the captivate kernal have over the vibrant kernal, if any?

The stock captivate kernel doesn't have any "advantages" and wouldn't really work. Unhelpful, however, has added nilfs support to the captivate kernel as well as some other tweaks, and has now made these changes available to the Vibrant community. As I understand it, NILFS mounts, reads, writes, and unmounts faster on our devices than any of the other filesystems he tested, so there's hope for a permanent lagfix.
I tried this kernel, it does boot but my existing lagfix scripts don't work with it, so I lose all my data. No big deal to fix from recovery, just revert to stock before messing with it if you want to test it. As mentioned, no real advantage either way, but it's nice to have options.
If there is interest, I'll fix my lagfix scripts to run on this kernel. Reverting back to JAC OVv4 works without hassle via clockwork.
This thread is somewhat different from others. I am fully aware that overclocking requires a custom kernel however with the Application "Galaxy Tuner" my CPU on my SGS i9000 can go 1.2GHZ with a custom Voodo Kernel not supporting Overclock. I am not sure what method the guy uses and he only allows it to be used 2 minutes at a time, so I was wondering if this would be just as risky / safe to do as going into a new kernel and doing such.
If the first is not possible and I would have to use a custom kernel as it is safer, please PM me some kind of contact information as I am afraid I will break my Phone as I use a custom Voodo kernel + DArkys EXTREME ROM 9.X
Still need to know wheter or not it is safe to overclock the way the application "Galaxy Tuner" does or if its SAFER to do it with a custom OC'ing kernel.
If last, I need some help over Skype / msn

I wouldn't expect anything, just because people like me view it doesn't mean we know anything about it.....why don't you email the author of the app.

Exactly, views don't mean answers! It can be frustrating seeing a lot of views and no answer, but you must acknowledge that viewers may be looking for the answer themselves or just plain don't know. Be patient.
Well. Still, I am wondering about the overclocking that The application uses (Galaxy Tuner) because it manages to overclock a phone WITHOUT a custom OC'ing kernel. Hence i am wondering if it is just as SAFE to do as using a custom kernel.
If not, I need some guidance as I dont know how I can switch my kernel and update my ROM
The code to overclock existed on stock kernel sources apparently, it was just commented out.
When OC in this app is enabled, the CPU governor is changed to performance, and the clocks were changed. So I'd wager it's equivalent in terms of safety to a custom kernel.
Why only do the above for 5 minutes at a time when a custom kernel allows you to always have an overlclock? Just use a custom kernel..
I'm using a custom kernel to overclock to 1.2ghz and my battery is exactly the same as it's always been. I'm also underclocking to 100mhz with setCPU when the phone is idle so that's a big help. It's perfectly stable on mine but CPUs can differ so I suggest that if you do flash a custom kernel with overclock that you start lower and stress test just to make sure there are no issues. Also, don't save any voltage control settings as default until you have applied and stress tested.
Also, make sure to keep a spare kernel in zip form and always have backups.
I use super optimized kernel. Though I am looking for a 500-1000 HZ OC kernel. Any suggestion?
I don't know what method this app is using, but just due to my own paranoia I would say using a kernel with OC is safer. Too many horror stories of apps bricking phones due to small errors or badly written instructions.
Beyond that, it just takes experimenting. I am currently using DamienGTO's Ultimate Kernel OCed to 1200 and have had no problems with it, but there are a lot of high quality kernels available down in the Android Development forum. I suggest you install SGS Kernel Flasher from the market (a great app, makes kernel flashing painless and dead simple), download the newest versions of each kernel that says it supports OC, and spend a day flashing and testing. Just remember to disable any OC/UV, lagfixes or tweaks between flashings.
Hi guys,
I went through a lot of topics about voodoo color fix and couldn't find any post that i needed.
My problem is that my SGS is having this yellow tint, and i heard from my friend that using voodoo color fix lets me change the settings of RBG or some sort to tune the color temperature to my liking. However, most posts i found requires me to flash into custom roms with include the voodoo colour fix, but not posts that allow me to directly add this using update.zip.
I've been to Voodoo's official website and found that the releases are for froyo but not for gingerbread 2.3.3.
Therefore, my question is, can i just install voodoo color fix directly using update.zip, without touching my ZSJV5 2.3.3 rom? because i still want to update it in the future via kies, or using an application like the Voodoo Control app (But it supports sound only).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot! =)
Any answers please??
Thank you
any lead guys? =/
Sry m8 can't help u here.
Just my 2 cents:
I think there's no colorfix for GB yet and won't come, because supercurio has concentrated on other devices like tablets and the new sgs2.
Only for Froyo.
U can apply it only with flashin the kernel by supercurio. A zip file just for the colorfix isn't available out there to my knowledge.
If I'm wrong and there IS a fix pls tell me guys cause I want this fix so bad and pleased supercurio very often without a response.
Have one of the devices with the yellowish display. Girlfriend has a 2 month older sgs and has such a great display with awesome colors.
I have this yellowish disease too.
I tried to cure it with Talon kernel which uses Voodoo/hardcore modifications but it seems only the sharpness part of the code is working.
I even went into recompiling the kernel and tweaking some values to force a cold temperature without any success.
Let's hope some devs will do something about it, I don't have the knowledge to make it work.
Wow guys there is a way! it's not the easiest but it works.
Download Chainfire3D from the market, configure the Nightmode filter Color to "Custom".
There you can adjust your RGB values to your likings. You can also make a shortcut on your desktop to activate the Nightmode easily (have to look for a startup option now...).
Thanks guys for the post!
Any other ideas?
here is darkys kernel...
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/kernel-dark-core-2-x-ginger-kernel.2072/
in 2.5 they added Voodoo colour, im not sure if this isnt this the same thing?
fugu mod

Hello guys,
I just rooted my phone and used Chainfire 3D. set the night mode to custom and you can change the color settings to your liking =)
what is voodoo (sound\color) mean ?????
and if any body have a lesson about the kernals
cuz i don't lnow actuality what it is ?
A kernel is the software on the phone that lets the hardware interact with the operating system (the firmware).
Voodoo Sound/Colour were projects led by Supercurio, a member here at xdadevelopers. He has done an amazing job working with the audio capabilites of the i9000, fixing a lot of it's shortcomings. As well, he has given us the ability to tweak the colour of our screens.
To have either, they need to be supported by your kernel. If you check the thread of the kernel you'd like to use, it should have either of these (or both) listed; if it doesn't, they are not implemented in the kernel, and therefore not supported.
If your kernel has them, download the 'Voodoo Control' app for the Android Market. Optionally, you can probably find a thread for it here, on xda. The app gives you complete control over the options that these features offer.
reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly Thanks man
I use a CM7 on my I9000
can you suggest a kernal for me please

You're very welcome.
Fugumod, Platypus, TalonMTD, and Glitch are some CM7 kernels off the top of my head.
Hi again,
I need to find a kernel that has DM_CRYPT included/enabled. Is it possible to find that, just kernel and stay on stock GB? Or do i have to flash a custom rom, if so, which do have DM_CRYPT? Hope someone can assist me quickly, since this depends on wether if i'll keep the note or not...
Thanks!
it would be kernel related not rom related, you would have to see if a dev woudl put this into a kernmel for you but why do you need it?
Some apps need it. And i need them. I heard that all Honeycomb roms have it, so i guess ICS too. But i'm not gonna take risks since i might return it. And i don't have much time... How am i supposed to i "contact a dev" to request that? Is that a request board? If i'm alone to request it won't happen anyway.
Abyss kernel (v3.1) is compiled with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y . Since there is nothing about it in the changelog, I expect the latest version also has this option enabled.
Thanks! I'm gonna try it then. But what's difference between CW Touch & RedPill? I know CW Touch of course... But not RedPill. Anyway, if i flash this, Custom Rom Manager (from CF-Root) won't work anymore, eh? I can switch kernel, no risk? If anyone know other kernel with DM CRYPT , please post! ^^
PS: If it's just a line to edit "CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y" then can't i just do it somehow on any kernel?
EDIT: I installed 4.2 and the app which required dmcrypt still refuse... If it was loaded, then should work directly, eh?
I'm sorry but i forgot a thing : "Loopback device" is required too, i guess this is some setting in the kernel..? Or is it something else? If so tell me what please Abyss doesn't work, i tested 3.5 too (can't test older since megaupload's dead... If you have links...) :X
