Sorry for being so late. I've been extremely busy recently..
Thank you very much.
-----------------------------------------------
I've made a new update.zip
This is 98% identical with the original Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0.
the only differences are
1. loading modules on booting.
2. using stock JM8 kernel
Thanks ^^
# to users who are using the previous voodoo-with-stock kernels
-> Overwrite it!
##########
THANK YOU SUPERCURIO!!!!!
##########
### EDIT ###
1. updated JM9 support!!
2. FroYo JPM support : just remove the ".zip" at the end (Only for Odin flashing at the moment)
Sound interesting.
What about Benchmarking and battery life?
Thanks for developing.
Quadrant scores? Pros and Cons over VooDoo??
How did you modify the JM8 kernel? I thought we were limited to using the source provided by Samsung for the kernel (which is probably not the exact same as the ones used in its firmwares). Anyway, great work! Off to read more about NILFS2 now

He found a nice way to modify kernels. He has a post up on it earlier.
Any chance for a JH2 or JM5 kernel as well? Preferably with EXT4! I don't like NILFS2 myself, since it feels sluggish.

This is great news. Could you post a version that uses EXT4 with the JM8 kernel please? I'd like to use the stock kernel rather than one compiled from source like in voodoo because I assume it's better optimised. Could you also post the files you used and some instructions on how you did it? I'd like to have a look at how it's implemented. Thanks!

Please read your own benchmark! Solid state != Spinning disk.
Not to say the results would definitely change, but the benchmark itself is fairly useless for the SGS.
Is this going to work even though I have JM1 installed? Having that you used the JM8 kernel.
Thanks!
Thanks!
The test in M2 and became really fast now!
will work to 2.2 ? Thx

Of course...NO
Nice work, will try it!
So this is only a repacked zImage with nilfs2.ko kernel module? To compile the kernel module you still need the kernel sources, right? Just asking because you mentioned in your last thread (if i remember right) that you are working on a froyo version...

hi,i m a new comer.i have jm8 for my galaxy,and i installed voodoo lagfix 3.0 which one does not include the color solution.
if i create a file or folder named “disable lagfix” in a a directory named “Voodoo” and reboot the phone to disable the voodoo 3.0,can i install you version of voodoo using NILFS2.
thanks!

Ah! Awesome! I must've missed thar thread.
Been using this for the past 2 hours, and the phone is flying! Sure I get a low Quadrant score but my phone has never been this fast and responsive. I must say, it's even faster than the ext4 voodoo fix.
But does it keep taking "snapshots" every now and then or have you disabled this feature? 'Coz I wouldn't want excessive reads and writes on my internal sd unnecessarily. I had low expectations for this fix considering the snapshot "feature" of the filesystem and the benchmark posted earlier in this thread, but now I'm amazed by how fast this is!
On rfs, loading apps like xda or gallery for the first time resulted in 3-4 seconds of black screen. With ext4 voodoo, about 1 second for xda and 3-4 seconds for gallery. But now with this one, xda opens up instantly and the gallery loads up within a second! Very impressed I am. Thanks for the wonderful work

Emm, is initramfs_data.cpio.zip the update.zip ? Cos from what I understand its not. Than where the original file is?
Never mind, managed to look at it just as it was reuploaded =)
So, should it be alright to disable voodoo, flash any other kernel (to remove lagfix), remove disabling file, flash your kernel?
EDIT2. Do you mind uploadng the stock JM8 kernel for reverting, since you have it?

This kernel is a new one with the recovery STEAM insteaod of the normal one, it support a lot of options, take a look
to use it:
apply extract the zip and apply the tar in odin as pda or also extract the tar and apply the zimage as kernel with heimdall
NOTE this is for the 2 froyo roms i know
EDIT:
V2
This is the v2 version, not many changes but from the SpeedMod Kernel by hardcore i used:
* Optimized compiler flags: -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -fno-gcse -fprefetch-loop-arrays --param l2-cache-size=512 --param l1-cache-size=64 --param simultaneous-prefetches=6 --param prefetch-latency=400 --param l1-cache-line-size=64
Also there are some memory twaks from that thread, i got 334 of total RAM, please check your SGS before flahsing because by mistake i didnt and now im not sure if it did any change
CHECK camera/vide/radio/tv/games
PD i added ext4 and JFS, but i did not tested them
No go and thank him an zstupy for this great work

Is it a fully working Steam??? I will surely try if it is.
i tryed some options and it worked, testing is welcome
Does it replace the CWM? Does it have all the basic CWM functions working? To go back, can we just flash another kernel with CWM or we need to flash a whole ROM?
I guess if you have a 'what's working' list & a 'to-do' list, we can start testing it.
Hello Luis, i put your Kernel in my SGS and now it dont show my IMEI.
I`m using Froyo JPD...
EDIT: Well... I done one Factory Reset and now IMEI turn show again...
What improviment i got with your Kernel? Have BLN?

Seriously forget about BLN & other petty stuff. Go ahead and make a working STEAM KERNEL..
PS : This is some real good work.
PS2 : You need to put a BOUNTY on it.
PS3: checkout & rename your [ALPHA] to a version # looks good on the Title.
im not doing a lot of improvements, im working on some ideas on the work other ppl does for the other SGSs versions and thinks i would like, like this steam kernel
it is my V3 base kernel, it has tinyRCU, ondemand scheduler and BFQ sched
there is NO BLN because it caused problems with a2dp audio
Will keep a watch on this thread.
great man..lot's of options in steam menu...
some explanation about that? can u provide or give a link about lots of options we have now?
can i put everything in ext2????
everuthing ok unti now

<----- looks at his thanks meter & smiles,
Can we make the conversion to ext 2, 3 or 4 with this Steam Kernel?
And, it's too complicated to have some overclocking room on near future with this kernel? Like something to make easy to overclock with Set CPU and some setcpu.txt files?
Thanks, Luis! You're one of the most active developers to I9000B and we all should be completely thankful to you!
Keep with the good work! Congrats!
Ok. Running on JFS and everything seems to be ok and pretty fast till now. About 1500 on Quadrant and, just to mention, I've made a full conversion without backup. Wiped out everything to be sure if anything goes wrong it's not caused by apps and past configurations. Missed the ext4 conversion to test. Not tested ext2.

Hello Luis, I put your Kernel inside ffabio Froyo light... I change all to JFS, but for now my Titanium Backup doesnt work, i got only FC...
Can be JFS?
Tnx and good work!
Thread's dead?
Oh well...
I'm still running everything on JFS and it's pretty fast and smooth, without bugs as I could see. But after some research found that it could be interesting to put /cache and/or /system to ext2. Anyone already tried this? It really should make some difference?
Thanks! And c'mon! Wake up, people! This is one of the best kernels we have to our i9000B! Let's give some feedback!

Mine is working, if you got some errors during the load process, I need to know.
If thing to do is check your symlinks and make sure that they are all there for busybox.
Use this to check your symlinks:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
If any one is missing, it could stop the install process.
On the thing about our kernel supporting init.d, the answer is not currently and that is why we have to use this program. It will allow compatibility with our kernel to have init.d.
The busbox is ok.
I can run it rom my terminal on the phone as well as adb shell.
There were no errors during installation.
Edit:
I ran the script again today.
The init.d works. the 99test did create a file in /data/local/tmp.
INIT.D installed. Excellent! Now to look up some tweaks. You da man Popfan.

Running it at 50% is pretty good also. The script will at least zipalign, check for proper permissions on all apps, clean the delvik-cache, and reorganize the task manager priorities and also your ram manager settings. You should try the battery calibration script that is there also, it is really nice.

Script manager is easiest. Don't forget to use as root for all those scripts.
I did forget that it will also allow for a powershift, so you can change your settings on the fly if you need more multitasking capabilities than power savings or more power.

It does not look like the latest CWM that I put will be compatible with the extra mods, after I put the cwm together and flashed it bricked my phone. I have put my phone back to where it was before the modifications for the ICS supercharger (the service.jar and service.odex modded part) and works just fine without the additional mods, but I don't think I am going to try to mod the phone again (wife will get mad at me if I hard brick my phone).
Ok, I really should contribute to the community somehow So I decided to fix any little problem in my rom i'm currently using and release it, so people like me, that means people who like clean and tidy ROMs with some extra horsepower under the hood and few tweaks that increases usefulness of their device a bit will have their life a little bit easier because I'll try to implement as much awesomeness without unnecessary bloatware to this ROM and learn a bit about modding in the process

exciting stuff!! Btw, is it overclocked by default??
Harsh7689: The point of this ROM is to ease the effort patching it up to others with similar requirements from their device. I've not said that I have done something special, I don't know java and I know very little from bash and other scripting... only thing I've learned up to today is to find a mod, test it and if it works well use it until i find better. This is my little I can do for the community... Maybe I'll learn from this baby-in-sandbox project something that will allow me to do a bit more for community than this... I agree, it's nothing much fancy, but it might help someone, that's why I posted it here.
imrock: It's kernel is krabappel2548's XperiaSSpeed Kernel V6, so yes, it is overclocked by default and can be overclocked up to 1899 MHz, which me personally finds quite hazardous Anyway default overclock is somewhere around 1,7 GHz which is safe value The package also contains Voltage Control free edition, which will allow you to alter those values to your taste

Glad you agree uploaded.to mirror nearly ready. Will add it to first post By the way, thanks for thanks
after desperate messing with aroma installer i have another idea how to contribute to community tool that generates aroma scripts
What is the difference between this "ROM"and the other ones like Eratcher and DualCore "ROMS"
It is supposed to be as much stock as possible, while getting some extra functionality, to be honest, i'm not keen using AOSP - themed rom, if i would want to, i'd bought galaxy nexus... i've bought xperia cause i like it's design... by the way, being arrogant and rude is not the best way how to support someone trying to learn something...
Could you send me the kernel only, if possible?

Try the search function...you will also see the kernel dev does not want people mirroring his work...

i think he(Felimenta97) is asking for the kernel because ladynaamah has the ka kernel with default sony logo.
You may extract zImage file from archive and flash it via fastboot using command
Code:
fastboot flash boot zImage
provided you have connected your device in fastboot mode
geekygrl: I'm aware of that, but what shall i do? Type here guide how to extract it, modify it, repack it and flash it separately? That's not making much sense, would excessively complicate process that is supposed to be simple...

Im presuming you mean to flash the kernel.ftf that loopz came up with for locked BL if so... U need zImage and ramdisk no need to build from source.
I use linux so have my own way. But pretty sure if your on windows. Championswimmer has a kitchen which you could use (As far as i remeber).
You should be left with kernel.ftf and inside it should be loader.sin, kernel.sin and META-INF

You sir are the MAN and yes it's exactly what I mean ive been asking tons of people and I can never get a straight answer. Yes I'm on windows so I will have to use the kitchen. Thankyou so much for the answer!! Just read a bit about it and it looks like it will work I'm going to try it out.

TBH I dont know I never used his kitchen. But u should be able to split the *.img. You should then see a ramdisk folder and zImage (or it could be called boot.img-kernel) if its named boot.img-kernel thats your zImage so rename it to zImage.
And of course ill anwser questions if posted in correct Forums
Good Luck psxpetey, hope to hear good news

Thanks and I used it, it will split the image no problem but it wont build the kernel.sin on the site it says 2010 devices only also funny side not it says I dont have java installed lol. I have java jdk and jre lol. By the way wedges by correct forum do you mean under the title of the original thread about the kitchen?

Seriously??!! Are you planing make kernel.FTFs from kernel boot.imgs???
That's revolutionary!! I wish you the best in this project! :good:
Only 2010 devices but I you can unpack any device

wedgess's kernels = uploading atm...
When I was at the same point you currently are at, I wasted a few hours with the kitchen trying to split the *.img, just didn't output the the ramdisk.gz; since it tried to extract it. "...cpio: command not found" Maybe you will have luck?
Here's a quick guide what I'm currently doing to extract & make.
Follow this to set up Cygwin and get bootimg-tools.zip
When you get to "Select Packages", during Cygwin install, just type in perl, expand the perl section and select the radio button corresponding to B
Extract contents of bootimg-tools.zip to C:\ximg\
Replace split_bootimg.pl with the one I attached to post.(Will change output of the split img: kernel as image and ramdisk.gz as ramdisk, needed for the convert to FTF)
Copy the kernel to C:\ximg\ and rename to boot.img (or just boot, if you don't see the .img extention)
Open Cygwin terminal and enter cd /cygdrive/c/ximg/
if you wanna see contents of the location, type in ls, and you should see all the extract bootimg files + boot.img,
Extract boot.img by entering ./extractboot boot.img (in the ximg folder you should now see image and ramdisk
Grab the SINTools from the attachments and extract folder, it was originally part of the-laser's post here(just edited the build cmd to generate r800 kernel.sin's)
Copy the image and ramdisk from the ximg folder over into the SinTools folder, run the r800_build.cmd, you should now have kernel.sin made.
In the SINTools folder I threw an empty kernel.FTF w/ r800 loader, open it with winrar or w/ extractor tool you use and drag and drop the kernel.sin into the opened FTF, you can also edit the manifest if you want.
Flashtool time
DONE!
Good luck
Guess I will copypasta to thread after I format it a bit. Yay kernels done uploading too.
Was going to do this later but u got it done before I could most my kernels use lzma compression for ramdisk so would of taken him a bit to figure it out...
Did u test the kernels if they worked (the ones you just uploaded), if so ill post them on my thread linking to your guide on what to do. Good find by the way.
Ya I actually found lasers tools late last night (not very easy to find or popular) which I am going to use today thanks loopy I thought you were dead or something lol. Ive had cygwin for ages ive got the full install takes about an hour lol

Tested a few, and got sexy Lupus bootlogo , so I'm assuming they work, didn't try appropriate roms to make sure they "fully" work, but I don't see why they won't. lzma compression would explain the CPIO error when it tries to decompress the ramdisk, thanks for pointing that out.

Yep, the only reason I figured this method out was due to me messing around with an X10 2 weeks earlier, which led me to the_laser's tools and the idea of an FTF kernel. It's messy, but gets the job done.
