[DER KERNEL] NS+4G Trinity (E)UV and OC ICS + JB roms

It's DoW if you owned a Vibrant before, Trinity is the name in its passport though.

​
ICS:
Voodoo Sound V10 (Thanks supercurio)
Trinity Spice (based on voodoo color V1 by supercurio)
BLN (Backlight notification) (Big Thanks Neldar)
Backlight dimmer by Ezekeel
Based on Samsung git source.
Safeboot to lower clock, higher need a tool like setcpu or no-frills CPU control
New Trinity bootanimation by @rascarlo
TUN module (Tunneling/VPN support)
CIFS module (Samba support)
EXT4 tweaks
Most lean build achievable.
Not a rebooter.
JB: WIP
For CM, to use this kernel flash the CM Black Screen Fix (Thanks JackpotClavin and lurtis)
Thanks to @RyanMacG for euroskank hosting​
When "Just Flash It" didn't work:
Flash rom.
Flash kernel.
Power off.
Pull battery for 2 minutes.
Put battery back
Now boot phone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GPS woes? Try this .apk, worked wonders on GB.
Endursa shared this GL fixing link. Follow it, see 65fps on Quadrant planet like it was meant to be.
T for Trinity
UV for undervolt (you would want to uninstall setcpu like apps and just run it)
EUV represents a 880MHz top speed power savings kernel, snappy still? You Bet'cha!
144 for 1.44GHz (I will rethink this when the 10GHz phones hit the market)
-Any means it uses Koush's anykernel scripting to install trinity using the original ramdisk, making it possible to use it on m(any) roms w/o needing a special version.
(X)A new kernel just born by my slacker hands, feel free to use it, we think it's good even if it was eXperimental just moments ago. (X) comes off when we feel it's a daily driver.

maybe i need this later

Hmmm, interesting :3
I'll test it right now

Thanks for some positive feedback.
This is the longest tested of all kernels I built.
Simms22 is not much of a tester, his phone runs about any crazy oc and uv I throw at it, so I added time to testing it
Unfortunately no oc kernel will ever run stable on all phones, if they did, samsung would charge us for that.

Naw it runs 100% on full OC 1440. I only have issues with radio occassionally, but thats because i cant make up my mind which is better, KB1 or KB3. But yea, mos def a daily driver. Ive drained my battery in 1/3 of the time i usually do, playing with my phone so much. Much appreciated sir, if you need more experienced feedback, let me know, I've done some work with android, just dont have the time as of late, but logcats etc are easy and not that taxing on my time

i used(on uv now, will use again) this kernel, as a daily driver, longer than any other. it definitely deserves respect. btw, i use KB1, and also had a hard time decided which radio i liked best

Hey Morfic, I have a question, when you were applying the patches for the kernels with BFS, were you using this file or a different one? 2.6.37-sched-bfs-363.patch

Exactly the same issue I had.

How can you guys get almost 4000 in quadrant scores.
The maximum I got w/ this kernel was 3100, for me the phone is reallly fast but if you have more I want this more that I don't have.

set your cpu to 1440/1440, then test 4 times in a row. the 1st is always much lower then the rest. the 3rd or 4th test should be more accurate.

First - 3091
Second - 3247
Third - 3770
Forth - 3813
Fifth - 3591
So here is my results, thanks for this FANTASTIC KERNEL.

[kernel][gpl] seeking O2x testers for O2x kernel build

I recently built a CM7 O2x kernel from my G2x (cm-kernel based) source for a O2x user who now uses a Pre^3 and thus i am feedback less.
If someone who is not afraid of a possible non boot would test the kernel (test build is a 1.0GHz kernel aimed at saving battery) I could build O2x versions of my kernel on a more regular basis if feedback shows everything indeed works.
If the initial obstacle is cleared, i would build my 1.5+GHz version next.
http://goo.gl/CgbVD is ELP-O2x-10092011, so built 3 days ago.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

here i am...
EDIT:Just tryed on latest miui and work well...

yes it works
yes everything works fine and can you make your 1.5GHz version

possibly a stupid question but this kernel can be applied to stock rom 10d?, my English is bad and may not say it to understand what kind of rom is

No it is ONLY for CM7 based roms!
BTW i'm getting killer benchmark scores, can't say so much about battery life though (too little time since i flashed it),
After the gym i had a SOD, but didn't run alogcat, so i'm not saying it is related to the kernel.
It's just meant as a piece of info....
Hope you build the 1.5 Ghz kernel soon...

Very smooth but lot of sudden deaths

http://goo.gl/5C12v T15-O2x-14092011
we have a lot of half truths in G2x land, like that G2x can't run 216MHz minimum frequency without SoD.
With this kernel and the "ELP" one, 216MHz is no problem in G2x land.
it's possible the rumor is from applying O2x experiences to G2x early on.
In which case i could dig through the source and see if there is anything obvious that fixed it for G2x, but not O2x
(raise minimum frequency on either kernel if you do experience a SleepOfDeath/SoD)
Keep in mind this is a 1560MHz kernel i linked in this post, with the obvious differences in hardware, let me know if 1560MHz is not for O2x, many people love it on G2x, i can drop to 1540MHz or lower for stability (yes, that 20mhz difference might be all it needs)
1.6GHz is not stable, and i am not ready to further up the voltage as the voltage would go in the "are you serious to run this much voltage?" territory.
the more voltage you pump in, the more DTT will throttle the chip.
let the feedback roll in
and if you do not run cm7, let me know which kang or miui you run (kernel runs fine with whitehawkx's miui on G2x)
This kernel is not for any roms based on stock 2.3.3 gingerbread.

It works so far but why cant we modify the voltage though pimp my cpu or setcpu?

it's disabled for testing
for T15 i can enable it later
for ELP it will stay off, there is not really any headroom to go any lower than it is.
kernels are meant to be flashed and then you forget about them and go on and use your phone, this holds particularly true on the 1.0GHz undervolted version.
The T15 could benefit from finding the lowest stable settings on each individual phone.

I had another SOD. If it is related with the 216 Mhz min frequenzy, you should check the source of vorkkernel (that kernel runs perfectly at 216 Mhz, but just can not compete with your kernel elp performance wise).
Going to try your 1.5 Ghz...

Hi, installed and works ok.
One problem: when the screen Goes off during à Call.
And you leave it off for About 20 seconds, then It isn't possible anymore to get the screen on again.
Only way to get the screen on again is to pull the battery.
To be sure it is THE kernel That causes this, i tried vorkkernel and the problem doesn't occur using The vorkkernel.
Btw: i only use basesband 502; THE only baseband that gives good Callas quality.

Thanks, I look at proximity stuff.
Vork's kernel should perform very similarly on purely performance side of things.
We ended up sharing ideas.
So the other comment about it being smoother than vork is surprising and intriguing to be honest.
I enjoy building kernels, and since I had 'elp' built already wanted feedback, that comment I didn't expect.

Hm, that will make it harder to track.
For one I need to change my G2x / O2x to 'anykernel' ....before vork spanks me for not using it.
I pulled this ramdisk 4 days ago.
Doing this w/o phone at hand I'll be better of using 'anykernel' then.

Hey, just wanted to report another SoD after i hung up on a call. Those are the only SoD i get, but i get it pretty much after every call.
Never happens on Vork's kernel or the stock cm7 kernel.
I am running the ELP kernel.
Hope I could help.

i'm testing the T15 on latest miui and seems all ok....just a note ,the battery consumption seems to much high....

[KERNELS] Best of the best | .35 | for Newbie | Explanations Guides and Suggestions

This will guide you and teach you too ONLY if you read well rather than just pressing download links!
Now that we had TONS of kernels out there, It doesn't means NEWER = BETTER.
Here you will find useful links to guide on choosing which kernels fits your needs.
This is pointing out and will be guide for those people who dont know what is a KERNEL?
This thread is for those who doesn't know wtf does a kernel is, for those gamers for those on stock roms for those who wants performance for those wants promising benchmark scores etc..
KERNEL? what is it?
In computing, the kernel (from German Kern, nucleus, core) is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.

This shown picture above gives you the basic idea what does a kernel is and
what depends on it.

Now that you know what a kernel does, its time to know what VSYNC (Vertical Synchronization) is?
Vertical Synchronization, also called Vertical Sync, or simply VSync for short, was primarily required because of the physical limitations of CRT monitors as discussed in the Refresh Rate section. A CRT monitor has to constantly light up the phosphors on the screen many times per second to maintain an image, and can only do this a certain number of times per second based on how fast the electron gun in the monitor can move. Each time it has to redraw the entire screen again, it moves the electron gun inside the monitor from the bottom of the screen to point to the top left of the screen, ready to 'repaint' all the lines on the screen from top left to bottom right, and back again for the next refresh. The period during which the electron gun moves to the top of the screen for a new refresh is called the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI).
Enabling VSync tells your graphics card to synchronize its actions with your monitor. That means the graphics card is only allowed to swap its frame buffer and send a new frame to the monitor when the monitor says it is ready to repaint a new screen - i.e. during the VBI. Your graphics card and monitor do not have to be in sync; they can still operate properly when VSync is disabled, however when VSync is disabled, you can experience a phenomenon called Tearing in periods when your graphics card and monitor go out of sync, precisely because the graphics card and monitor are acting without regard for each other's limitations.

Now base on my experience, this are the .35 kernels (never had tried .32 so I cant point out which one is good for me) I personally found out useful and those gave me good experience on stock and custom roms.
NOTE: it doesn't means all of this are BUG free!
For stock rom 2.3 | .35 kernel
Vsync off
The smoothest one i found for stock lg rom|voff gives smoother ui transitions and scrolling
Rome-v1.3.3-cfs-vsync-off by zack here
Vsync on
Best one i tried for von on stock rom
paolo's OC kernel V3 here
you'll find the thread here but most of the links are dead
For custom roms, all cm7 based rom (miui, lewa.etc) and themed roms |.35
Vsync on
best ones i tried that gave me performance and really good experience even on games!
Ta-gb-kernel-v1.1 by thachtunganh: here
Roq kernel-IX by Roqu3: here
Roq kernels (for those who doesnt even give effort to search but rather spam and ask anywhere) here! Newer doesn't mean better
Vsync off
for benchmark HOGS and for games who need further more frames for HQ games
PP kernel v1.7 ta-gb 1.2 based, originaly by thachtunganh moded by trettet here (the best for games so far)
Candied kernels by DJnoXD here (voff with variety of touch fixes also good for heavy games but lesser benchmark scores compared from PP kernel v1.7)

PP kernel 1.7 will give you performance but i dont suggest it on stock cm, may be on GTR but on stock it would only make scrolling sluggish because of screen tearing.

[JB]Result of Benchmark Comparison with different ROM&Kernels

this is my first thread in xda. sorry if i break any rules. and plz tell me if i did.
============================================================
Hello committee! I just registered here a few days ago and find it a really nice place. i found a lot of useful infos and learned skills here. enjoyed every second reading the posts.
i just spend the afternoon testing with some different kernels and ROMs. trying to figure out which one should i choose for daily use. i know it would be a long term testing to get a conclusion but this is a start anyway.
i'm posting my result here hoping could do a little contribution to this committee. and PLEASE share your ideas with me too!
============================================================
I used the app AnTuTu Benchmark on my Nexus S. dunno if it's the best benchmarking app but i think as long as i keep all the other settings the same. the result still tells some truth.
The results below ONLY show the performance of roms and kernels at BENCHMARKING. it does NOT say anything about battery life, usability or stability.
View attachment 1265857
=======================UPDATE===============================
AOKP seems not working properly with AirKernel. trying to figure out why. anyone can help?
*Air186B65f = AirKernel #186 BlueColor with 65fps
*Air186V = AirKernel #186 VoodooColor without 65fps
(both the above are High-BigMem versions.)
*marOTA4.2= marmiteKernel v4.2 for stockOTA ROM
*mar4.2 = marmiteKernel v4.2 for Custom ROMs
*bfq is not currently available on marmiteKernel v4.2 so i only tested deadline. dunno if it's a proper choice.
*Adroxd = Androxide 3.1.0
*NotPass = benchmarking was interrupted by force close of the app.
some conclusions:
1. ROOT does NOT affect the performance on stock ROMs.
2. performance does NOT do better at benchmarking, as it's supposed to, than some other governers.
3. NotPass does NOT happen every time with the same settings. i.e. i tested 2 times at 1.4GHz with smartassV2 and bfq on stock ROM. the first time it gave an result of 4090. but the 2nd time it force closed.
4. schedulers seem to be not affecting benchmarks on a big scale.
5. The result shows stock ROM with custom kernels DOES better performance than custom ROMs. (I like things to be stock. it makes me feel safe. But at the same time i prefer those mods in custom ROMs like the volume rocker wake-up and advanced power menus.)
6. I love xda-developers.com :laugh:

New benchmark expert arrived!

Since you are new to this let me say something that most users are unaware of: the governor is absolutely irrelephant. The CPU will always be at 100%, otherwise it's not a true benchmark, thus rendering the delay to reach such % (basically what a governor does) a parasite variable.
The I/O scheduler performance is also tricky to measure as some are better in sequential operations, some are not.
So if you want to test ROMs & kernels (which makes much more sense, not I/O schedulers and governors), then here are a few tips:
More ROMs (make sure to include CM as it has many small code optimizations).
More kernels.
Drop the governor column and do everything in performance (this will force the max CPU frequency and eliminate the aforementioned parasite variable).
Choose one I/O scheduler and use it for every kernel (homogeneity).
Don't do OC.
Use more benchmarks (CF-Bench, Sunspider, GLBenchmark).
Run at least 3 times and note down the average result.

So the best rom+kernel is the stock+air kernel?

We need more numbers. A benchmark thread with nearly only conclusions is just asking people to believe you without any proof. Not gonna happen in a place full of skeptics.
Knzo suggestions are very good too. You need more homogeneity in your benchmarks. Being all over the place only adds variables in the equation that favor one kernel or the other. And more tests. Pretty much just follow all what he said.

You don't really think I'd write irrelephant unintentionally right? I'm meme-aware! ;p

Haha! You got me there. I kinda knew of your meme ways, but that was some good trolling right there.

Try to make the conditions the same for each run. For example, restart the phone and leave idle for 3 minutes, etc.

remember there's nothing called "best". as i said above the result only shows performance at benchmarking. as we know good benchmark score may result in poor battery life so it's not recommended for daily use.
if you could help this work it's much appreciated!
maybe you just do a benchmark (takes only 3 mintes) and post your rom and kernel with the score.
best wishes.

Well since you asked nicely, you did post in the wrong section.
Thank you for the data, and there have been some good suggestions about tweaking the method.

yes that's indeed what we need. i wish more ppl could take part in this.
and i'm trying to take more homogeneity into my testing. thanks for the advise!

more ram upped to 369
new govs
better battery
dialed oc down to 1.6 for stability and safety

AWWWEEE YEAAHH!!!!! I love your kernels tim! Cant wait for bluetooth to be fixed in 4.2.2 roms so I can test this out!

What is difference between this and SMARTGUY004 kernel?
Correct me if I'm wrong both are 3.0.68 builts.
It looks like same overcloking, governors, etc.
Thank you.

I tried this and my phone froze up like crazy, this was with the Baked Black Bean ROM. I did all the usual things to install and rebooted twice, still froze up. I tried to change CPU settings with No Frills and the phone froze up on both attempts. No complaining just reporting what happened in my case, it might work just fine for others.

Yeah but it's nice to have all the extra govs & so forth. 500 points higher on Quadrant is nothing to sneeze at either, though most of it is I/O related.

I tried it again, this time with much better results. Don't know why the difference this time as I flashed it exactly as before but glad I did. Check out the benchmark on this one! That's the highest I've ever gotten, and I'm not OCd above 1.6.

So far same as stock kernel that comes with the ROM. That's one thing about 4.2 ROMs is that battery consumption has been higher than any other ROMs. Can't really pin it down other than Maps, screen and the android OS in general. Nonetheless happy with the ROM and the kernel too as it's the best JB performance you're going to get with this phone.

Try greenify on Google maps. Maps will drain even when not in use.

Did, doesn't work but thanks for the suggestion.
Damn phone froze up again so things were short lived I hate to report. Bad enough I had to restore my nandroid of CM 10.1 since re flashing the ROM didn't solve anything. I was looking at starting over so I had to say sh** on it. Should have left well enough alone. Again no reflection on Tim's work just something maybe I did wrong, IDK.

Ironically working great with CM 10.1. Free memory seems easier to come by than with the Chimera built-in kernel which is why I wanted to give this version a try. I was getting lag whenever using memory hogging apps like Gnow & Poweramp at the same time, and Awesome Beats was getting closed every time I tried to activate it. So far none of that. Set CPU to 368 min, 1636 max, row I/O and fantasy scheduling.
Great job as usual. Now that I've said that, my phone will start acting up no doubt!

Have had it only a few hours and plugged in to my USB port to charge just after flashing. Tomorrow I should get a good idea, I'll let you know. The RAM benefit alone is worth it regardless even if battery was worse. Memory always makes this phone a challenge to use as everybody knows!

Re: [KERNEL][DemonsBlood][3.0][4.2.2][v3] OC/UV
Installed configured and used in beta testing of an online game. Smoother and more responsive and game likes it as well. Had many crashes on 4.2.1 with earlier version with beta game test but not system now both on 4.2.2 seems good paired.
Curious as to OC @ 1631 versus 1604 not that I care cause my cpu handles up to 1881 with no crashes though 1804 I spaced and used it for a week with no ill results.
Anyways I will watch battery drain and can only compare right now to latest chimera version. Started off with massive drain on it untill it settled in and had 2 errors constant on boots that finally tapered to 1. Yours so far started off with 1 but after settled for a bit on boot it fixed itself. Beginning to think the error is due to swapsd as I no longer see the checks happen but the mounts are right. If case be then I care not and don't care as is anyways.
Great kernel so far. Thanks

Re: [KERNEL][DemonsBlood][3.0][4.2.2][v3] OC/UV
Battery life has definitely increased by 3% per hour in rootbox 4.2.2 using your v4 over my previous install.
Both chimera and dbk for 4.2 are outstanding performers so win win all the way around. I OC @ 1.6 no matter what and have not had 1 stutter yet since installed within moments of your post of new version.
Had to do double take and verify it wasn't misleading on drain as I accepted fast drains in 4.2.2 nope it isn't fast drains now.
Gratzy and much thanks
