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.

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
Discontinued. Follow up paul678's sources and kernel
Presenting my first jellybean kernel for the arc/s. Many source changes. Now with Dual Recoveries. Ill write the rest of the thread later on. Please leave Ram and Benchmark results to present an average. And no I'm not gonna be advertising the kernel and being like its the BEST etc, its gonna stay a straight forward thread.
Thankyou.

Re: [Kernel][CM10] emwno's.kernel
Hi emwno.
How much is "much more"? 5 MB, 10, 72, whatever?
Nobody cares what/where is this sent from.
If all goes well, around 27Mb
With bestttt fixes...I am able to record videos with 720p at 30 fps. So can you release two versions one with 720p enabled recording, if it does not take much trouble.

Your not able to. 720p needs to be enabled in both the rom and the kernel. And with his fixes its only enabled in the rom.
And yeah sure , ill make 2 versions

Thats a surprise. The max I used to get on my pro was 23
at my arc s i get 30fps with fusion 4.3 4.5 any fxp kernel twrp 2.4 kernel and something else why all kernel makers stop to make kernel above 1.6???????? 1.6 max for arc s is not enough arc s work like the wind with not reboot and problems at max 1800

You can take it as high as you want but these devixes wont be able to sustain the load created and the immense heat may cause the processer threads to dtop function meaning a dead phone. I know this because this has happened to me (not an xperia 2011 decice but another with similar specs)
Great work to see new kernel for CM 10 Thank uu
i will give it try for RB
what about battery life ?!
Cheers
You guys have to report that.

I can. But waiting for reports on the first build
i saw that someone can make 720p recording in 30fps using jelly bean.. that's really freakin' awesome..
i hope i can taste that function in your xperia z rom...

plz 720p video recording version plz
Great kernel, have been using for the last 2 days without any problems at all. Thanks for this.
Re: [Kernel][CM10] emwno's.kernel - Build 2
Hi emwno, me again. Does your kernel include latest changes from fxp?
Nobody cares what/where is this sent from.
Is there are a build 3 available for download??
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.
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.

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.

I don't think you can use a CodeSourcery ToolChain. Try the linaro or GNU GCC
hey guys, just trying to fiture out a little problem,,, i downloaded 4.9 linaro and used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/howto-build-rom-linaro-toolchain-t1988315 to set it up, but its still trying to build kernel with gcc 4.4.x,, is there a way i can force it to compile with linaro??

So rom is compiling with linaro, but kernel not?
I am not quite sure how it works, but there are 2 places when toolchain may be stated: in kernel's defconfig and in Makefile. You can change both of them to your desired one and then try to compile.
Or (it should work too) before writing 'make' in terminal, write 'export CROSS_COMPILE=~/YOURtoolchainLOCATION'
