not yet. its on my list (to pick apart dvfs/nvodm and backport AOSP's frequency scaling, etc.).
Thanks pershoot!
We appreciate all of the hard work you are putting into this!

that sounds awesome. good luck with it man. maybe you will get it done by the time mine gets rma'd.
Nice, thanks pershoot!
Thanks a lot pershoot! Great work here
clemsyn - we also now know have a nice template to properly package a kernel in a standalone ZIP updater rather than just reflashing the entire boot partition.
Well done.
Pershoot - am running your kernel currently with Vegan Beta 5.1, everything looking good. Just one issue so far - I get error -18 on installing from Market apps that attempt to install to SD (Angry Birds, Uniwar are the two games I install that always do this).
VSC and I identified this as an issue with CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP not being enabled in the code Viewsonic shipped (as well as some related crypto stuff that the loop device needs). See my post with the config file changes (patch for Viewsonic 10.8.2 stock kernel) and the thread in general over at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10168177&postcount=5
Not sure if those config options are enabled in your code base, could also be some of the related crypto options though?
I started with a clean install of Vegan Beta 5.1, freshly re-partitioned SD card last night, and flashed your kernel this morning, so there was no user data or anything else sitting around on my internal SD card to muck up my results.
EDIT: I'm browsing your repo right now and looking at your pershoot_tegra_harmony_android_defconfig file. It looks like you have the CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP stuff enabled. Maybe it's the CRYPTO_ZLIB_DEFLATE and CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE settings? Those were in my patch but not enabled on your kernel, not sure if those are needed. Or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP, though that wasn't enabled on my kernel either, and from what I just read about that setting I don't think that's it. Maybe you'll see something obvious I'm missing here.
Thanks pershoot. Downloading now.
Rcgabriel, ill look in to it this wknd.
BTW, I have observed that in Quadrant my scores with pershoot's current kernel build average around 2250. With the stock Vegan 5.1beta, my scores average around 2450. Clemsyn's 10.9.7 kernel had a reduction in Quadrant score as well, yielding around a 2300-2350 average, so I suspect a significant portion of this change I observe with pershoot's build is related to the updates in the NVidia source tree. Not certain if Clemsyn has his kernel builds set to the default performance governor or not, so the difference in governor settings might explain the rest of the difference.
I don't really care particularly about the benchmark scores, they are obviously synthetic and not relevant to daily use and the CPU on this thing is so damned fast it doesn't really matter.
But to the extent that they might represent a reduction in performance of user apps they are significant. Still trying to ascertain if this is purely a benchmark issue or if there's any real-world impact. Not sure on that at all. Feels pretty smooth to me.
Obviously, the other side of the performance coin is battery life and I haven't run this kernel enough to assess that.

Is there a versionfor vegan 5.1?
Rchabriel,
Not done yet. I have more tweaks patches to bring in. Possibly some revertions as well. Wanted to get a baseline out. Remember benchmarks are just that, synthetic. Tnt lite flies thus far. Have not tested against vegan at all. Want to test on close to stock and/or cyanogenmod at this point.
Battery is good. About 1%/h idle (no sync).
Clemsyn,
Ok I may have missed over the options (was late when I posted). Thx.
Robz,
Yes.
So if im running Vegan 5.1, and im Not a dev, is there anything I can do with this new release?
Quadrant scores dropped from 3300+ to 2900+ with this kernel. I've got the data2loop patch installed.

Pin your cpu to 1000 and rerun.
I am not using performance (default shipping). The cpu freq. will scale dynamically with load as needed (ondemand is default).
Don't worry too much about synthetic benchmarks. They mean little in real world.

[KERNEL]TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 (0.6.0.1) [OC/UV][Voodoo Color & Sound v10][ZRAM][EXT4]
TalonDEV is an i9000 reoriented kernel for use with I9000 Samsung Gingerbread Roms (JVQ-JVR-JVS-JVT..etc..)
This is for the Captivate ONLY, the i9000 version can be found HERE
This kernel is still in a heavy development stage! So there may be bugs!! (hence the DEV tag)
Current Co-Devs - Kodos96,Ytt3r & zacharias.maladroit
Special Thanks to Xcal (for the reorient)
Make sure to support these devs, if it was not for them, Talon would not eXistZ
As always, flash at your own risk, im not responsible for any damages!]
Talon Source can be found on Github and Google Code
Stay up to date with latest changes on Twitter
Remember, I cant fix stupid or lazy. Please read the whole OP and the first and last 5 pages of this thead!
Custom Boot Animations
The bootanimation.zip needs to be /system/media/sanim.zip <- notice the name change
CIFS Support
Make sure you point to "/lib/modules/cifs.ko" instead of "/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko", it is NOT a
symlink as "/lib/modules/" is actually part of the ramdisk and is a seperate directory.
Logcat Instructions
To enable/disable Logcat, type "logcat-enable" or "logcat-disable" in a terminal emulator and reboot
Lowmemorykiller Settings
Talon kernel includes Kodos96's "LMKSet". You can adjust the PRESET=X value in /etc/ram.conf ..
The presets are listed in the file, recommended settings are set by default. Reboot to take effect
Also make sure theres no "ramhack" scripts in /etc/init.d/ , if there is, delete it and reboot.
To install:
Copy zip to sdcard
Flash via CWM
Enable/Disable Voodoo Lagfix in CWM->Voodoo
Delete Voltage Control settings in CWM->Advanced
Voodoo Color:
With the new ported Nexus S framebuffer driver, we are now able to control
voodoo color via the Voodoo Control App..So if the screen is to yellow for your
liking, you can adjust the RGB multipliers to even it out.
Conservative Governor
Conservative is now a module, to load on every boot, dload file below and place in /etc/init.d/
make sure to remove the .sh at the end of the filename and reboot

Awesome! Thanks. I will upgrade to GB soon and was hoping you'd have a compatible kernel soon. I'm glad to see UV and no OC at this point. I think I am going to stop OC'ing since I never really need it. However, I do still UV since once I find the "stable" settings for my phone, it will only help. However, I am curious how "much" people think UV helps with battery life. If it isn't significant then I might just select very safe UV settings so I don't have to spend time testing and can adjust after seeing real usage. Opinions?
TEASE! Can't wait!

I have yet to have a charge death, been running it for a few days, but I cant say for 100% as I haven't tested with alot of different users, but so far I've had no problems with it...
The only problem I see right now is that UV settings wont stick on reboot..I don't know if its just there's no init.d support yet, or if its something with UV.. I haven't got a chance to look at it yet, but its something I want to figure out before release. .atleast figure out what the problem is anyways
Waiting patiently for that voodoo that you do so well. Thank you all for such awesome work

1.2.5c (20/06/2012)
- rebased to 3.0.17 (thanks to trailblazerz11 and eugene373 for their github)
- compiled with Linaro 4.7.1 toolchain (thanks to trailblazerz11 for his help)
- O3 optimization flag
- upstream sync (fixes for cdma in-call volume and mic gain included, thanks to pawitp, efpophis)
- WiFi PM_MAX when suspended
- fixed 800MHz underclocking
- changed boot splash screen
- Bootloop detection (if no normal boot is detected the phone will be forced to recovery in next boot) *
- bugfix: enabling Wi-Fi hotspot twice (copy the new netfilter script in order this to work by disabling and then enabling again netfilter in Semaphore app)
- creation of /system/lib/modules if does not exist
* It doesn't mean that this will necessarily resolve the known bootloop issue, but it may help on bootloops because of bad OC/UV etc.

Very Nice to see a Semaphore ICS kernel Downloading now
Oh yea, Obligatory "First"
Great
I flashed ICS 0.9.7c on Fusion ICS Beta ....
What could go wrong? Nothing its a Semaphore Kernel !
Been using Semaphore on Mosaic and I loved it ...
Hopefully my battery life will be much better.
Thank You Semaphore ! ( creator - testers - and crew )
Just flashed this on the newly released Elite rom, everything works as expected, supersmooth.
But just as Glitch, the didle doesn't work, after activation from the app, when phone goes to sleep it never wakes up and i have to do battery pull or reset to get it on.

I have found Didle to be unreliable. I just don't enable it. There was a tutorial on how to get it to work, but you will have to search for it.

I have read in glitch thread that flashing i9000 bootloader helps and didle is working for people after changing the BL's.
I will try it in the weekend.
But sans that this kernel is running quite well.
No problem stratosk!
I think the concerns in my PM are ROM related... Maybe Grubby 0.9.0 is using an old CM build. I haven't done much research yet.
ahh finally the semaphore thanks stratosk I thought you have forgoten the captivate community nice to see you back supporting us
Just installed and running well. I had some issues coming from Icy Glitch so I froze NS Tools via TiBu and using Semaphore App instead now. I also had some reboots when trying to OC, but setting back to 1Mhz made it smooth again.
Thank you for supporting us Captivate users
DIDLE really doesn't do anything worthy of using it. They thought it would be cool but it effects aren't that noticeable in real life. So word from the wise, don't use it....
Thanks
I'll try it!
yay...Semaphore is BACK for ICS!!! i actually moved onto the SGS2 for AT&T but still using my cappy for media purposes....awesome...thanks mang!!
Ok im getting constant reboot when I enable the 800mhz from the semaphore app no live oc or anything and also shouldn't ondemand 40 sampling rate should stay on 40000? when the screens turns off then turn it back on sampling rate is on 10000 again is that normal? I have the 100mhz enable when gpu is inactive if that has something to do with it. Other than that everything works so smooth great job again stratosk thanks again for bringing another great kernel for ics on captivate

Thanks mate for reporting mate.
I checked ondemand40. This is an old bug. I resolved it and here it is, again. I forgot to include some code. Will be ok in next version.
I will check the 800MHz script and let you know.
Is LiveOC and Custom Voltage an app? Or is it built into the kernel?
How do the scripts such as LMK, SD card read ahead, etc. affect the performance scripts that came with the ROM? I noticed that the ICS ROM I'm using comes with its own performance scripts and voltage control, etc.
Would someone mind explaining what TUN and CIFS does?

You can find more info here about live oc its overclocking the bus speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288015 you use nstools app to live oc and the custom voltage means that the kernel support oc and uv custom tweak by the dev of the kernel. About the performance script it depends on the script there is lagfree tweaks roaming around and thunderbolt tweaks I suggest to ask more on the rom dev what kind of performance tweak he included on the rom since he knows more what kind of tweaks he included on script itself. On my opinion if you see same script (ex. the sdcard tweaks or any oc uv script) its better to use the script that bundles with the semaphore to prevent conflict

i like it.thanks.

TUN is a module required in the kernel for loading up VPN (OpenVPN and DroidVPN)
CIFS module enables you to mount a remote network share on your device.
Any chance you're making an 0.9.8 for Slim ICS specific for the captivate?

Nice features and impressive number of governors :good:
Testing then report back.
Thank you very much ,our friend !!!!
woow...for to find the best governor/scheduler/hotplugg.... for best battery-life (with correct performance )
i cant compile on this pc
Has anyone compiled it for the I9195?
if so can i have a copy please as i cant get to my own pc until the weekend.
download link ? Also why is thread not is android development section ?

i think we have to compile it ourselves.
Having in mind the fact that 99% of us won't even dare to think about installing a kernel compiled by ourselves, is there a chance for someone more experimented to compile this kernel for all 3 versions?
I personally only need the lte version, but...
Thank you in advance.
Can not compile (newbie)
I would love to test this kernel and give feedback but I have no knowledge on how to compile. What's the chances on someone doing this with experience? I'm after the LTE version myself, I'm excited for a new kernel to play with. Or maybe someone can send meva walk through guide on his to compile.
Thanks in advance ☺
Has anyone tried it yet?
@alexax66

Any luck yet bud?
Can you uploud the .ZIP file ?
I wanna test the Gaming performance and compare the results with the lombartz kernel
improves battery?
Well i think thats the end of that.

Could you update the OP so we all know what we are waiting for, change (stable) to its current title etc etc, all I'm seeing is disinterest in this thread. Maybe release a pre-release version so someone else can help you, there is no point to compile this myself or I might as well start my own thread.
Looking forward to your clarification and thanks in advance.
This kernel will not be overloaded with tons of I/O and CPU schedulers and useless features. I will test and merge what works best and probably provide 1-2 different options on hotplugs.
Disclaimer: DO NOT FLASH THIS ON ANYTHING BUT J700P latest stock firmware.
It may not brick your device if you do because it uses the ramdisk on the device but it will definitely boot loop at the least.
Update 6-10-17
Version 0.4
Complete rebase. Now using Minz1's base with TONS of fixes from CAF and we are working on merging LTS point releases.
This is the result of I and Minz's work.
This release I was mostly working for stability and optimization again. I haven't merged in any I/O or CPU schedulers yet.
I don't have time to list the features so check git if your curious.
I updated the link to the new repo.
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22ZNBermHGrZjlnUmNFRl9JeW8/view?usp=drivesdk
Update 6-9-17
Version 0.3
Compiled with UberTC GCC 5.3
Stability fixes
Added intellli-thermal
Anyone have any feedback or suggestions/questions please feel free to comment.
Version 0.2
- SAMSUNG_RESTRICT_ROOTING disabled (I forgot to disable this on the first build). Root works fine now. SuperSU root would work anyway but works better now with no issues at all
- More low level optimizations. Check git for details. Faster, power efficient, etc.
- Compiled with UberTC 4.9 instead of the included arm-eabi 4.8 toolchain. Will be switching to a GCC 5.x or GCC 6.x UberTC or Linaro toolchain next build, or two.
- Dynamic Fsync.
- Powersuspend driver.
- CPU frequencies can be changed and set permanently in kernel Adiutor.
- Kcal screen/color control.
- BFQ I/O scheduler.
- Random fixes here and there.
Check source for all changes.

Big shout-out to Minz1. He helped me get the WiFi working (again) so otherwise this may not have even been possible. It was really kicking my ass.
