[Q] Linaro Code optimizations? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if the Linero Code optimizations would have any impact on the captivate and if so, are any ROMS going to be implementing them?

From what I understand the Linaro optimization is a kernel mod not a rom tweak. With that being said Icy Glitch uses an older version of Linaro and he is looking at updating it to the newest version but had problems downloading the source. AOKP has their default kernel as Icy Glitch so maybe in the next update, but not really sure.
This has been a hot topic after the video of the new optimization that was posted.

That is a bit depressing if true.
It was my understanding that it was an optimization to the operating system itself. I really wish they would clarify these things in articles.
Oh well...

Where did you hear this about glitch?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

Read the OP for the icy glitch thread under development, it shows 4.4 linaro was used i believe. In the AOKP thread sixstrings replied to a question about linaro.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

I believe Linaro optimizations is both kernel (toolchain) and rom modifications. Glitch does use a older version of said toolchain and I know that DerTeufel1980 and Stratosk where messing with it. Feed back about the actual kernel optimization has been very mixed. i9k semaphore alot of ppl say its amazing. Other devices say not big difference. All I know we have to be patience and wait until your great devs get it set up (all of it) right and really see if this works

[Kernel]Netarchy Nexus: Yerba Mate(ICS) Stable: 1.0.3 Testing: N/A (4-Jan-2012)

Netarchy Nexus, Codename Yerba Mate, is a custom kernel based on the official ICS kernel sources, and the current subject of my experimentation on the Nexus-S.
Current Change List vs the stock 3.0.8 kernel:
- Overclocking up to 1.4ghz enabled *overclocking not active by default, use a tool such as SetCPU or CM7's cpu performance settings to overclock* (Remember kids, not all phones tolerate overclocking equally)
- Voodoo Sound driver - Courtesy of Project Voodoo
- Voodoo Color - Courtesy of Project Voodoo
- CIFS support
- TUN support
- NFS support
- Updated kernel base (Currently 3.0.14)
- Cpu policy fix to avoid crashes with SetCPU and screen off profiles (Courtesy of work by coolbho3000)
- EXT4 remount tweak
- BLN - Courtesy of work by Akent, Neldar, and Morfic
- Custom Voltage Interface - Courtesy of Ezekeel
- Deep Idle - Courtesy of Ezekeel

FAQ:
Code:
Q: I'm getting a "Device or Kernel version not supported" error in Voodoo Control Plus!
A:The error is referring to the generic modules that voodoo control plus comes with to support
kernels that don't already have voodoo built-in (such as a completely stock kernel).
You can safely ignore this error, as voodoo is already built into the kernel.
Q: I'm getting SOD's (Sleep of Death) when undervolting!
A: You are probably undervolting too far
.
lol when I do this my thread gets deleted/moved/renamed by the devs. I suggest you hurry
yehhhs...netarchy is coming back...
i hope so it make change for nexus ICS..
Good to see you back dude.
Nice! Thx
10chars
Welcome back most awaited kernel for me. Downloading now.
Flashed it. No problems so far.
can you please up the available voltage range to 1475 mV? my device needs at least 1400 to handle 1.3ghz.
right now it's capped to 1350 for me in setcpu.

, cap was supposed to be 1600, woops! I'll fix that in the next build.
Welcome back! Just like the good old days.
Beamed from my Nexus S
YES NETARCHY FOR ICS
Now I can really start playing with ICS.
Will be LiveOC and Deep Idle suppport?
any performance tweak in this kernel?
That weird dim-green tint thing when turning the screen on and off is back. I can't seem to get rid of it like I did in GB.
welcome back netarchy
Yay Netarchy is back!
Nuked from Nexus S with ICS using XDA Premium app
my first impression is that this one is blazing fast. No delays whatsoever. Good job so far!
will keep it for a while and see how the stability works out. is it a bfs or cfs kernel by the way?

Already one suggestion... if you can make internal SD to mount as emmc like in all CM kernels?
Internal SD isn't mounted at all.
I lost my internal Sd...
Vold.fstab and build.prop looks alright
Ideas?

Yes always
found a solution, its ramdisk, it is setting up PHONE_STORAGE as emmc on init, but in my kernel it should be SECONDARY_STORAGE as emmc.
^Will you integrate your kernel with your rom and also put PDroid in it?
Sorry for having so many request.
Flashed the kernel, no problems encountered so far. Good job and I like the fact that there are just 2 files that get flashed. The boot.img and wireless.ko, easy to revert without leaving back files. please keep it simple and clean. Create extra zip for all tweaks if you want them instead of bundling in kernel. Thank you.
after an hour of testing in have to say it works well, ill try a full day with it

[KERNEL][CM10] CM10 kernel for ICS bootloader (RAM hack,OC)

This kernel is no longer being updated. Please refer to kowalski kernel thread for CM10 ROMs.
Presenting CM10 kernel built from source with ramhack and OC/UV support by wkpark
Only for the new (unlocked ICS) bootloader!
This is RC's kernel, with patches by wkpark for ramhack and OC/UV. Supports OC upto 1.5 GHz.
Thanks to them for all their work. Also, thanks to pengus77 for bringing CM10 to the new bootloader
Built using my guide over here
Uses spica's HP supersonic toolchain
Works with CM10/MIUIv4 ROM on new bootloader only
Download links:
New and recommended powersaver version!
Includes pengus77's wifi drain fix (All credit to him for that)
Non-OC, to increase battery life and stability
RAM hack values 24 MB, 32 MB, 48 MB for increased smoothness
New experimental governors are absent in this ROM, which is meant to be a stable version for daily usage. The new governors have not been properly tested yet and are unlikely to be used by most of the users. They may be included in later builds after more testing. If you want to use them, flash the experimental kernel on the previous page.
This is the version recommended for daily usage. Try the 48 MB one first, and if camera gives problems, then try a lower RH value.
Download link for stable, powersaver version
Link to latest experimental version
Download link for older experimental versions
This is the link to my folder with all kernels for the new bootloader so far, in case you want to try some other version. Ramhack values are mentioned in the file names, and if it supports OC (not every phone will like OC) it is also mentioned in the file name.
Thanks to RC and wkpark, this would not be possible without them.
Warning:
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong with your phone.
If your phone does not like OC/UV, or freezes when overclocked, reduce the max frequency or dont use the OC version of the kernel.
If apps like camera give problem, try to use a version with reduced ramhack value.
To be flashed over the ROM without wiping data. Wipe only cache and dalvik cache
If you are having problems with the new kernel and wish to revert back to the stock kernel, flash your ROM again
Credits:
arcee and the rest of the CM team. Its their work it is based on
Donate to RC
wkpark for cracking the bootloader, new his patches, without which, there would be no ramhack or OC/UV
Donate to wkpark
pengus77 for bringing CM10 to the new bootloader and wifi battery drain fix.
This wouldn't be possible without him
spica1234 for his wonderful HP Supersonic toolchain
benee for his anykernel updater for star, and for all his work
Other devs for all their work (PM me if I forgot someone!)
Source: https://github.com/rugglez
Changelog:
29/12/12:
New version built with spica's supersonic HP toolchain
Integrated pengus77's latest (v3) wifi drain fix + bsod fix
27/12/12:
Experimental version released with new CPU governors (smartass v2 and hotplug), and simple I/O scheduler (default is still cfq), max frequency=1.2 GHz
Power saver version released without OC or new governors, and with pengus77's wifi battery drain fix

Max clock frequency is 1.5 GHz
Trying the 32mb oc kernel, seems ok so far, will report back any oddities,
I'm on penguss cm10.
i tested..............
Great news. Just two little questions:
- does this work with cm10.1 as well?
- are the Wifi drain patches from pengus77 included?

You could try it with cm10.1 but im not sure if it would work. Take a backup first. Wifi drain patches will be included with his permission and when he feels it is the right time (after the testing phase and all)
thanks for the hard work i think u can put like a changelog in thread and the features of kernel listed just avoid people asking same thinks all the time
included wireless.ko is the one patched by pengus? thank you in advance
edit: just checked, it's not the patched one
First impressions are good! Not much room for UV as 1ghz is already at 1000mV which is quite low already I think? But that is not important, just an observation.
Thanks Rugglez. Been waiting a while for an OC kernel on CM10 and no call bug either. This is the future for our phone I think.
I ´m testing the 48M_OC-Kernel on CM10.
I set max OC to 1,2GHz, but Antutu CPU Master shows Peaks at 1,5GHz! The Kernel is always scaling in its full available Range.
I tested it with different Settings and Gouvenours, nothing helps.

I just checked with "CPU spy" and yes it is hitting 1.5Ghz even though I have it set lower than that.
Noted. Will release 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz versions separately from next time

Probably tomorrow

[Q] Compile Cyanogenmod 10.1 with Linaro 4.8 Toolchain

Dear XDA-Community!
Im new here so i'd like to introduce me quickly.
Im Alex, 18 years old (at the time of this writing) and im from Austria.
Before i owned a Galaxy Ace and got our p970 some months ago.
Now to my question
I tried my hands on building cyanogenmod 10.1 for the p970.
i build it with the standard toolchain and it worked perfectly.
now im trying to build it with the Linaro 4.8 Toolchain, but it isnt booting and i do know its a kernel fault.
i know this because if i flash my Cyanogenmod Build, it doesnt boot, BUT if i flash it and then flash the ZeroGravitiyKernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082740
it boots up perfectly.
So i would like to know, if someone had succcess with building our kernel with a Linaro Toolchain and which patches i may or may not have to apply.
i tried using the ZeroGravitiySources but still it fails to boot up after flashing.
(also i did a quick benchmark test with rom toolbox and the build with the standard toolchain gets 7.3 and with using linaro and the other kernel i get 10.2)
any help is much appreciated
Yes the problem is the kernel. ....it was not easy to make the kernel boot...
Use my patch from my topic...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184519

Thank you very much, already used it some days before and got it working, forgot to update here

If any bug found other than one already in CM11 basic kernel, please report.
OCed but default max frequency is 1GHz.
Feature requests are welcome except for BLN feature.
Download Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4ba44ymbkcx4m
Kernel Source:
https://github.com/neobuddy89/vibrant_fluid_kernel
Latest version:
v1.0
Any feedback/views/suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Neo
v1.0:
+ Linaro Toolchain 4.7-2013.10 compiled
+ Entropy Depletion Fixes and Enhancement
+ WiFi wakelocks reduced
+ OC Support upto 1.4 GHz
+ Minor network tweaks
+ Reduction in memory reservation for logging
+ Memory leak fixes
+ Performance tweaks
Thanks a lot Neo. You are amazing.
Will try this out on my ROM 11/20
thanks a bunch...cant believe this phone is still running and running like a beast at that.
outdoing yourself for us :good:
Lovely!
I want to click like 999 times!!!!
Very good! Really - performance gains!

Actually KitKat was/is supposed to be a release which will help memory-challenged phones (like ours), so if anything KitKat *is* something we expect ardently and sure as hell hope that dev support won't end now, now that we finally reached an OS version actually suited for our low-ram phone(s)...
Thanks Neo for making a start in supporting us with 4.4 goodness...
Thanks for this rock kernel using it on captivate
If u can compile this kernel on captivate would be thankful
Just the difference is the volume keys layouts
Great work!!
It will be really great if you can compile this kernel also for the captivate!!

Should learn to compile your self. Or switch the volume key layout to revers it back to normal
@sada23 Is this article helpful to your already awesome kernel? http://source.android.com/devices/low-ram.html
I noticed that we have Linux 3.0.x in use, which probably lacks the "tunable reclaim" feature, but could be cherry-picked from the patch in 3.4 branch, as stated by Google:
Support for a new kernel tunable is added in the android-3.4 kernel branch as patch 92189d47f66c67e5fd92eafaa287e153197a454f ("add extra free kbytes tunable"). Cherry-picking this patch to a device's kernel will allow ActivityManager to tell the kernel to try to keep 3 full-screen 32 bpp buffers of memory free.​
For those who are in search for Ramdisk source, get it here:

I reckognize that USB thethering is not working with fluid kernel and sada's unofficial KK 4.4. It ends in a reboot.

I would like to see the kernel upgrade. Just ask to remove overclocking 1.3/1.4 GHz, since it will probably kill the smartphone, and my at those speeds just hangs and you have to remove the battery!

Then don't overclock to 1.3/1.4 GHz. Some peoples devices might be able to handle it. Just because yours can't doesn't mean to nobody's can. Be smart with what you do and know what your phone can handle. Mine does 1.4GHz just fine.

Fluid Kernel
FOR KITKAT AOSP ROMS​
This is enhancement over basic CM kernel to attain more fluidity, performance and power saving.
There is no heavy modification like NX-Kernel or Mackay Kernel which causes lag eventually.
Kernel is compiled with Linaro Toolchain 4.7-2013.10 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.
Feature requests are welcome except for BLN feature.

Latest version:
v1.0
Any feedback/views/suggestions are welcome.
