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
Version 2.9.9sc has been compiled. But it will need to go through testing first as the kernel configuration file had some few changes.
I'll need 2 people to test it. If anyone is interested, send me a PM.

Perfect. Got it to stick 1200mhz! What boot loaders do you use Nick0703? I'm wondering if i9000 loaders would help with deep idle.
Would suck if it's just my phone.

My Kernel Builds are divided in 2 Groups with 2 Versions each one:
Universal for 4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4 and MIUI Kernel (>= 1.1.0)
ICS for 4.0 Kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Normal versions without s: for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 38*MB - 39*MB
's' versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs (patch here for KK 4.4, here for JB 4.3, here for JB 4.1/4.2, here for ICS 4.0) with hugemem configuration, available RAM 39*MB - 41*MB
"s" version will automatically patch rom when you flash kernel via cwm (Only for ICS)
NOTE: Enabling BigMem (using GearTools) in all kernel builds will break 720p Recording/Playback
Based on your android version you can choose your kernel build

It works! Can't say if it brings any performance advantages for now, will be testing it for an extended period first. Nice boot logo in B&W, clean and simple. No zRam options in Performance Settings (not an issue for me, I always turn zRam off), no Step OC in Performance Settings (this is an issue for me, I run 1200 step OC by default), In-Call Volume Controls in Advanced Settings (very useful, the reason I was always flashing Unofficial Semaphore), KSM enabled by default in Performance Settings, default CPU governor - ONDEMAND, default I/O scheduler - NOOP (exactly what I prefer and what gives best performance on my i896).
Thanks Alberto96 for sharing your work with us! :good:

Not sure why though but I'm getting SOD's almost immediately when screen goes off.
I'm running CM10 latest nightly (no SOD with stock kernel). No OC.
p.s. I'm new to captivate so i could be doing something wrong...
EDIT: played with a few settings and seems to be ok now. Might have been deep idle enabled causing it...?

So far this kernel rocks!!! Been running it since yesterday and its been super smooth with no bugs.
The only thing I need to figure out is a way to reduce the amoled saturation (Ariesparts.apk doesn't seem to be able to do this...)
Well v04 is the stuff love it well fast and smooth all I got to see now is battery life and that takes a day to test man your work is off the hook

Looking forward to it!. I'll restore my nandroid and flash the kernel again once it's fixed. :good:
I'll most likely just release this with CM-10.2 instead. save a lot of headache. Then hopefully we have a working build with this kernel, while i work out the kinks in Hellybean.
Is this kernel compatible with TF's cm 11, and if so, is there a fix I can apply for wifi in the mean time while waiting for the update? Great job btw. So excited to try this out!

I don't know how to compile properly without a rom apparently. So i am going to build this kernel with cm-10.2 exclusively for now.
But the kernel should work with all cm-10.2 based roms and 4.3 based roms. if I can get wifi working I will release it separately.
New build is up.
Hey
I have no idea if this is even relevant for flashing this rom or just everyday use, but should I be concerned about this Trickster Mod? I have no idea what it is. Thanks

It should be like that for some time. I will let you know if any future builds will or will not.
Yeah. Some things are a constant. That issue plagues all these devices....

New build in topic.
Fixed screen wake up delay
Same build otherwise, versioning updated to reflect that build's kernel is updated
Who mentioned some time ago that the hercules may be a closer match to the I757M (celoxhd) than the skyrocket? I am not sure about ROM wise...but you hit the nail on the head when it comes to kernels. Although this rom was compiled using a skyrocket kernel, guess where that skyrocket kernel came from? Yeah you guessed right. From the hercules! I am only playing with rom building for the time being, I'll leave that to our master titanic_fanatic. So since he is maintaining most him time to the development of popular roms for our device, I will maintain my time to the development of kernels. Users of the diablo kernel with proper settings should be experiencing performance and battery life differences even by now. I know I have. This will only get better.
My settings in trickster are always set back to default on reboot, is there a way I can change this?

Yeah, top right corner of the app is settings button the slides open a menu, make sure" Kernel settings" is selected.
For a conservative setting and better battery life, choose badass for governor. Not sure on I/O scheduler, But for reference, i Know Interactive paired with bfq causes lags. Refer to op for update on governors.
The developer of the kernel has a good post on it here

Here is a really good thread on Governors

Will a clean flash fix the issue I am having with the screen not waking?

I am not sure how i am going to fix that yet. It appears that the kernel dev chose to live with it, or the kernel behaves differently for skyrocket/hercules users. I tried applying titanic_fanatic's fixes, but it appears the issue remains. I will look at it again. For now, it might be helpful to choose a governor from the performance/battery section. I am currently on Intellidemand with row scheduler and Quallcomm mpdecision disabled (which enables kernel control). Battery life is looking amazing. Also having a snappier governor should help.
