Nice, thanks for sharing. Is this kernel CFS or BFS? Anyway, look forward to trying out it.

Same here...IDT smartass is working properly yet. I went back to adryn's 1200 kernal...speed and batt life
I dont mean to bash on anyone as I couldnt do better myself, but I felt better performance on drods 1.5 than this one. Can someone confirm its not just me...

my phone gets laggy after installing kuro kernel.. did anyone have this problem too,or it is just me??
you must have NO FRILLS or other cpu frequency changer.
then change the max fre. to 832 then min fre. to 312
governor - smartassV2
i/o - sio
you also must root your phone
the main interest of kuro's kernel :
1. save more batteries
2. decent performance
if you want more performance install meruk's kernel
if u want performance with kuro's kernel
root ur phone and install rom toolbox
go to cpu control
chose
- powercats = lazy --> performance
- blackcats = smartassv2 --> balanced setting
- activecats = intellidemand --> battery saver
push thanks button

Its becoz its a battery saving Kernel so there will be some lag for sure but if u want smooth performance use no frills cpu and change your governer to other like activecats.

enjoy your device without lag
I wanted to know which kernel (and version) is the best option for battery saving purposes. Would be White kernel, kuro or merruk pre 2.0?
Without a doubt it would be Kuro Kernel.
Set as follows:
Governor: Conservative or blackcats
I/O Scheduler: deadline
Min Clock freq. : 156 Mhz
Max clock Freq. : 780 or 624 Mhz

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.
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

How to:
How to enable Swap?
To enable Swap, you'll need to create a swap partition on you External SD card. I recommend following this guide for it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
1. Make sure to backup everything from your SD Card first
2. Do not reformat your SD Card while it's still in your phone, take it out and plug it to your computer through a card reader!
3. I recommend that you only create a Swap Partition around 256MB
4. Follow that guide and when you reach to Step 3, select the option "Linux Swap"
5. When you finished following that guide, plug in your SD Card to your phone and Reboot to Recovery
6. Then flash this zip Enable Swap
7. Reboot your phone and you should be good.
8. To make sure Swap is enable, go to Terminal Emulator and type "free".
9. You should see some info at the bottom about Swap.
How to Enable Zram?
To enable Zram, go to (Settings -> Performance -> Memory management.)
Or Flash this zip Enable Zram
How to use the OC'd Steps?
To use the OC'd Steps, use Nstools or CM Performance Settings (Settings -> Performance -> Processor -> Maximum CPU frequency.)
If the chosen Frequency setting is not sticking with Nstools or CM Performance Settings, try using CPU Control Lite or Voltage Control.
I flashed the "s" version and now 720p recording or playback is not working?
You'll need to flash HugeMem Libs first and then you should have your 720p recording or playback working again.
How to get rid of the Green Screen Flash and get the best colour if using VC version?
To get rid of it, I recommend using the following Voodoo Color Settings. To change them, use Voodoo Sound app (Available from the market).
Color profiles
Voodoo profile v1
Screen RGB multipliers
Red: 286xxxxxxx
Green: 333xxxxxxx
Blue: 392xxxxxxx
Screen v1 gamma hack
*Reset to 2.3.3 Then Change*
Red: -26
Green: -30
Blue: -33
Or use this gamma hack (Might get the green screen flash but with a better looking colour, thanks to aduka)
Red: -40
Green: -40
Blue: -31
*If you're still getting the green screen flash, increase the "Screen v1 gamma hack" by +4 for the red, green and blue till you stop getting the green screen flash*

By default I've increased the voltage for the 1200MHz step to 1350 mV to make sure it's stable for everyone else as not every phone is same. But once your phone is stable at 1200MHz, you can undervolt the voltage until you find a sweet spot.
Like on my phone, I was able to undervolt the 1200MHz to 1275 mV.

I UV by 50 with this kernel and devil kernel the same. Stable enough for me
Also. Nick0703. Sorry for posting in Stratosk thread regarding your kernel.
I was wondering how to make the 1200mhz stick. I tried through settings and then tried with nstools. No go on reboot.

Hey Nick0703 would you be able to get screen off min 100mhz max 400mhz settings into the kernel or is it not really needed? I guess it sits at 100Mhz idle. Also, are you able to deep idle? BTW 1200 is optional but it wont stick on reboot still. Your settings disabled nstools to default.
Re: [KERNEL] Unofficial Semaphore JB 2.9.8.c
Try cpu control lite or voltage control if the settings do not stick.

I could add the screen off min 100mhz - max 400mhz to the kernel but I don't think you'll see any difference from it. But I compile a test version with that option and see if there is any difference. And yes, I'm able to deep idle. Deep idle works fine with my phone but keep in mind that not all the captivates are the same.
And for the 1200MHz, try using CPU Control Lite or Voltage Control just like sephhi stated.
Thanks guys. Good looking app but it didn't work. Not sure why. Always able to set to 1200 on devil kernel 4.1.2
Re: [KERNEL] Unofficial Semaphore JB 2.9.8.c
