SimpleKernel 1.40
As stock as possible
I like things pretty stock, but couldn't live without BLN, so I built this kernel for myself, but thought others might find it to their liking. The point of this kernel is to not be fully modded out. Apart from the backlight mods, it's pretty much stock.
I'm sure almost everyone knows what these mods are, but for those that don't:
BLN (Backlight Notifications): Since the Nexus S has no notification LED, this mod allows the 4 soft-button lights to act as a notification LED.
BLD (Backlight Dimmer): Normally, the 4 soft-button lights are always on as long as the screen is on. This mod will turn off the button lights after a set delay if they haven't been pressed.
Changes from stock:
BLN (Backlight Notifications)
BLD (Backlight Dimmer)
CIFS module
Init.d (requires busybox to work; use busybox installer from market)
Insecure (ro.secure=0)
Voodoo (*optional)
Based on stock kernel android-samsung-3.0-jb-mr0
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/samsung.git
Backlight mods by Neldar, Akent, Morfic, Ezekeel
https://github.com/Ezekeel/GLaDOS-nexus-s-ics
Voodoo by Supercurio, project-voodoo
https://github.com/project-voodoo
Configuration:
To configure BLN/BLD, edit the file /system/etc/init.d/88backlight and change the numbers after "echo". If you modify the script in Android, make sure it has execute permissions (chmod 0755). It looks like this:
Code:
# ---------- BLN (Backlight Notification) ----------
# Enabled (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable)
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/enabled
# Blink (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable)
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/in_kernel_blink
# Blink Interval (time in milliseconds between blinking ON and OFF)
echo 500 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/blink_interval
# Max Blink Count (number of times to blink before stopping; 0 - Indefinatly)
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/max_blink_count
# ---------- BLD (Backlight Dimmer) ----------
# Enabled (0 - Disable; 1 - Enable)
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/enabled
# Delay (in milliseconds)
echo 30000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/delay
Notes:
BusyBox is required for the init.d script to work, which enables the mods. Use BusyBox installer from market to install BusyBox.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Run the app, press install, and then you can uninstall the installer.
Otherwise, you can use an app such as NSTools to enable.

SimpleKernel 1.40 (18th October 2012)
Updated kernel to stock 4.1.2.
SimpleKernel 1.32 (21th July 2012)
Updated kernel to stock 4.1.1.
SimpleKernel 1.30-1.31 (20st April 2012)
Broken releases, due to outdated kernel source
SimpleKernel 1.20 (1st April 2012)
Updated kernel to stock 4.0.4.
Built md4 into kernel instead of as module (required for CIFS)
SimpleKernel 1.11 (4th January 2012)
Removed a bunch of modules. For some reason the default kernel config builds a bunch of modules for TV tuners. I assume this was a mistake (OTA rom/kernel doesn't have these) so I removed them.
SimpleKernel 1.1 (4th January 2012)
Updated BLN (blink interval and blink limit added) Thanks to Ezekeel
SimpleKernel 1.0 (31st December 2011)
Initial release
For Nexus S i9020T/i9023 Stock ICS 4.1.2:
Simple! Thanks for sharing
Excellent work,
I see that flash_image has been left in with your updaters. Not needed there.

That is only for voodoo audio. Kernel mod is required for voodoo colors.
I've been thinking about learning how to compile a kernel for this as well. My "must have's" are bln and voodoo sound/color. Any chance you'd consider adding voodoo support? I do understand the intent of this kernel, just curious. I think many people would jump on a stock kernel with bln and voodoo only.
Cheers.

Thanks. I got rid of it.
I deliberately left out voodoo. One of the reasons I decided to build my own kernel, was because pretty much every kernel out has voodoo. While I don't have a problem with the voodoo colors, I'm also fine with stock colors. Also, different kernel devs were changing the default voodoo colors to their own setting, so every kernel looked different. I'm not into fiddling around with color sliders since I know nothing about color reproduction. I'd rather leave it to the pros (Samsung/Google engineers). Also the green flash when the screen goes on/off is annoying. Supercurio tweeted "Voodoocolor is deprecated and not supported anymore since months. I'm working on something better and will soon disable it."
However since there's such demand for Voodoo color, I'll build a separate stock + bln + voodoo kernel tomorrow.

ODIN VERSION (CWM Version removed due to issues with converting to EXT4 and wiping sdcards)
Installation Instructions
It seems many are having issues with wiped sdcards and voodoo conversion. This is aimed to eliminate those issues once and for all. I believe this to be the safest method of flashing, however, if you would still like to flash via recovery you can find the necessary files in the 2nd post.
Optional Step! - Perform a factory reset and then boot into download mode. This is optional because you can choose to try and keep all your apps, however, this may result in FCs and other issues and is not advised. I'll leave this choice up to the user.
FYI - You do NOT need to disable voodoo and you do NOT need the .pit file. Flashing with voodoo enabled means it will only convert /system on first boot aka LESS TIME til you get to play.
DOES NOT CONTAIN BOOTLOADERS! GET THEM HERE!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
1. Download the Asgard_3.1.2_Odin.zip file
2. Extract the PDA_Asgard_06282011.tar.md5 (DO NOT RENAME THIS!!!!!)
3. Get your phone into Download Mode
4. Load the PDA_Asgard_06282011.tar.md5 into the PDA slot in Odin.
5. UNCHECK RE-PARTITION!
6. Make sure USB is plugged into PC and Phone and click Start.
7. (optional) - After first boot reboot back into recovery and flash additional apps found HERE.
http://www.multiupload.com/8VGTX50HO5
These are the apps found in /data of the CWM version below.
It takes roughly 5 minutes for Odin to flash the rom. Once it's finished it will reboot automatically and will convert to EXT4 on the first boot. ENJOY!
VERY IMPORTANT! - Voodoo means Voodoo. It does not mean EXT4 or CF-Root. If you are NOT on Voodoo specifically you need to disable whatever you are on or flash stock JFD before flashing! I test flashed this while already on EXT4 and it worked without any problems. If you want to be 110% safe though, disable Voodoo before flashing.

Watch out for it wiping sd card. Lost all of my titanium files. Just be warned. I think it's because I wasn't on a voodoo kernel. Just my hunch.
Love this ROM and its definitely one of my absolute faves. Unfortunately, it keeps FCing Facebook and Rom Manager. Then the phone will restart itself and I will lose ALL of my settings and it will make me go through the whole start up process again. I guess I'll try to flash again... FRUSTRATION has set in! LOL.

This is a 3.0.x kernel, which means it is for ICS ROM's only.
You use this kernel and it's available settings at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for your phone, or anything that happens to it while using the feature. Although it has the ability to overclock to 2.0GHz, this may shorten the life of your device.

The aim of this kernel is to be the most feature rich kernel available for the Incredible S. The kernel is the engine of your phone, and I want to include support for everything! If there is something you need and it isn't here, let me know and I will do my best to add it. XDA is a community, and lots of the work in this kernel has been discovered / and created by a wide range of people, all of whom this would not be possible. It is pretty impossible to name all of the people to thank, but know this is the result of a whole community, and my gratitude goes out to everyone who has contributed to this site!

Instructions for S-OFF Users
Simply flash XS-ICSvX.X.zip in your favourite recovery!
Instructions for manual flashing (HTCDev.com unlocked S-ON Users)
Thanks to MrToastbrot for instructions
Step 1: Download the XS-Kernel.zip, then open the Zip on your computer and extract the file mkbootimg.sh in "kernel"
Step 2: Open mkbootimg.sh in a texteditor like notepad++ or notepad, then edit the following in line 3:
Code:
output /tmp/newboot.img
to
Code:
output /sdcard/newboot.img
Step 3: Save your edited file and place it back in your zip, copy your modified zip to your phone-sdcard and install it in the recovery. Then reboot your phone and connect it to pc and take the newboot.img from the root of the sdcard.
Step 4: Now reboot your phone into bootloader and flash it via fastboot flash boot newboot.img
Step 5: Once you phone has booted, mount the system as r/w using something like ES file explorer or Root explorer, then type the following:
Code:
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
Set permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot and enjoy!
Sweep2Wake: Q&A
Q: How do I disable / enable the feature?
A: Two options
Change the value in the file /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake to either 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled and 2 for enabled with backlight. This will be reset upon rebooting.
If your ROM supports init.d scripts, then flash the zip to enable or disable, this will stick over a reboot.
Q: It keeps taking screenshots when I lock the screen!?
A: This is due to an incompatibility with this feature and the native screenshot in Sense. TO stop the screen shots, you need to edit your build.prop and change the property ro.htc.framework.screencapture to false, and then reboot.

Nice post, fast work. I'll have a play first chance I get. Thank you.
Nice. Downloading right now. Making a backup right now since I was thinking of flashing this new Google Now ZIP as well.
Also does this mean we can get CWM 6.0+? IIRC, one of the requisites for it was a ICS kernel to be able to compile it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Forgive my noobness but how is the file size only 100kb?
I have only test on MIUI v4, but it should work with any ROM, I would like some feedback if there are any ROM's it doesn't work with.
There is now a flashable zip on the first post, I made a proper schoolboy error when I first uploaded it, that is now fixed

This is just a new kernel, that is why it is so small.
Did you read the OP and the second post? The instructions can be found there.

There is now a proper zip you can flash, check the second post for instructions.
The kernel in Ice Cold Sandwich is a Gingerbread kernel (2.6.x) which was modified to work with ICS (rather awesomely by Kaijura I might add). This kernel is built from the latest 3.0 sources.
Oh sweet! How did you manage to do it so fast?
One last question, none of my data will be lost right?

I have been waiting for this since the OTA dropped
No data will be lost, but I would backup in case there is an issue with your install.

I think that you can delete 1.7GHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz & 2.0GHz
Because they are unstable

Mobile data works fine for me, again shouldn't be affected by the kernel. I know MIUI has some issue with data anyway, check the thread in general to see how to fix that, but if that doesn't work, let me know.

Different chips are more resiliant. I used to have one that could sustain 1.8GHz with no problem, but I sent it for repair as the screen got smashed, they sent a replacement and this one can't go over 1.5GHz without crashing instantly, the option is there for anyone who wants it though.
IceColdSandwich 8.3: looks good, only broke camera and rotate buttons, but I expected it
Edit: doesn't work gps and bluetooth, IceColdSandwich either has a lot of hacks, or would need it
Working fine here. Now to see how high of a OC I'm willing to work with hehe.

By installing this, you'll receive no support from Stratosk because;
This is an Unofficial Semaphore Kernel
Stratosk does not support it
So do not bug him if you have a problem with this kernel. But bug me instead!
If you guys want to see some more features added to this, feel free to tell me and I'll try my best to add them to it.
Change log
Please note that there are 3 variations:
Normal versions: for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 384MB - 396MB
"s" versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration, available RAM 397MB - 409MB
"vc" versions: is Voodoo Color Mod
Everything is the same as the original kernel except with few changes.
added a zram script below in a zip file. IT IS NOT FLASHABLE EXTRACT AND MANUALY PUSH AND SET PERMISIONS. push to
system/etc/init.d if you want diffrent sizes pm me of post on this thread. each has 20% swapiness for now if you want more tell me here
enter this hitting enter after each line
adb root
adb remount
adb push <file> /system/etc/init.d/<file>
adb shell

chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/<file>
reboot
all I did was compile this kernel for vibrant i take almost no credit for it
credits go to
stratosk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3750240 he is the maker of original semaphore kernel
and Nick0703: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3443526 he is the guy from captivate forums who added the extras
as these guys did everything but build the modified version for vibrant. if you want to use in your rom pm me and il problebly say yes. and be sure to give credits to stratosk and nick0703

testing now
alright guys im testing new builds now again. and il upload this afternoon after school. yes i have school if i get a chance to upload from my phone later before i get home i will
cannondaleV2000
Installed Unofficial_Semaphore_JB_2.9.21v, I am assuming that this is the newly uploaded built. Right after entering the OS, my phone rebooted into the recovery. This might have been caused by kernel choosing 1400hz frequency. Now the frequency is set to 100 - 1000 and so far your kernel works good. I will keep you posted if I notice any irregularities.
Is it ok to use Semaphore Manager with your kernel or should we use CM10 built in OC features?
I installed Voodoo sound app but I can't see voodoo color option at the bottom. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for your hard work with extra features!
Yeah you can use the semaphore app. Or cm performance settings or any tools for controlling CPU that you want. I recommend set CPU. Worth paying a little bit

On my phone your kernel seems to work fine, however I tried to install this kernel to my friend's phone and it caused vicious bootloop. I had to resort to ODIN to be able to make the phone work again. I tried this twice and both times kernel caused bootloop.
Both I and my friend have exactly the same CM 10.1 built. Just very strange.
Also I sill don't know how to access voodoo color. Zram and KSM seem to be missing from the performance menu.
Perhaps anyone else can confirm my findings.

FOR KITKAT AND JELLY BEAN AOSP ROMS
First of all, thanks to @neobuddy89 I had learned many things from him.
thank him and me if u think its worth.
This is enhancement over basic CM kernel to attain more fluidity, performance and power saving.
Kernel is compiled with Christopher83 Linaro GCC 4.9.1-2014.07 Toolchains and is bug free.
If any bug found other than one already in CM11 basic kernel, please report.
OCed but default max frequency is 1GHz.
Dual recovery twrp and cwm

SwapSD
as of NeatKernel v1.10 and above we will use this trick to switch between storage.
the easy way is to flash this aroma flashable zip and follow the steps.
the hard way is to modify /system/.neatkernel/swapsd from "swapsd=0" to "swapsd=1"
delete /system/.neatkernel/swapsd will go back to stock storage status.
Dual recovery (twrp and cwm)
cwm is default recovery.
how to boot in twrp?
Just hit any volume keys after vibrate to boot into twrp recovery.

Hey, OP, thanks for making a thread on the Vibrant board. Was using your v1.02 swap kernel previously and it worked well except for a couple issues. Aside from the buttons (fixed through root explorer), it would not play any sound. Youtube and Google music both play, but nothing comes out the speaker. EDIT One thing I forgot to mention about the sound issue... it works when I go to settings > sound and test ringtones/notifications. Still silent on Youtube, Google Music, and MX Player though.
I've flashed this new v1.03 test build but I'm not sure if the swap is actually in place. Gallery app says "No external storage available"; Camera app says "Insert and SD card..."; and I can't install anything from the Play store.
For reference, my Vibrant has the EU bug and I'm running AOCP7 off an external card.
