[KERNEL] I9000B kernel with STEAM support [ALPHA]

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

Probando...

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?
Cya.

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

Ps2: my apologize for this non value added reply. I'm just trying to make a statement

i wont put a bounty on work that anyone can do, but i really do need money and dont mind on people donating money
i will keep working on steam, but im so short of time that i can not test everything, thats why its alpha, at least on the B version

<----- 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!

Nope! But as I said, I've done a full conversion (everything on jfs) and wiped out everything via secret code and via recovery menu, just to be sure it's all clean.

[ROM] Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 (CM7 for noobs Mod based on CM-7.1 RC-3.0)

What Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 really is? It is Cyanogen for Noobs Mod based on CM7.1 RC3.0 for gio. Yes like its name, it designed for easy and very user friendly purpose. The basic idea I build the latest CM7.1 RC.3.0 ported by phiexz (as I think it's already final or likely will be no more update) and compiled it with the all good things here covered almost all the potentially frustrating common issues to make it as stable as it can be for daily uses basis. I do some few mods but may slightly unnoticeable. It is not a custom-rom. I didn’t change the interface and such. I just want to keep it as original as the origin. The most noticeable thing I did may just enabled bootsound. The rest are minor (but of course important!). OK, let put it simply now all you have to do Just Flash and Play*.
*still there is a pre-condition and some optional follow up action below
Here some features Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 offers:
• Latest port CM7.1 RC.3.0 with the all working features (credit to phiexz & squadzone)
• preinstalled gapps (credit to Msiiek)
• avoid false reformatting sd-ext by cwm-recovery issue when flashing (credit to waqasshahzad1986)
• enabled bootsound (customizable ready)
• fix split screen issue
• S2E ready (no need to mod or reformatting sd-ext partition again)
• avoid potentially market causes reboot issue
• avoid potentially installing application causes reboot issue
• use market 2.3.6 as a default (but still updateable and offer you more optional action)
• fix some other minor common issues
• just flash & play
• noobs, start your 'en-gio-ne'! and say "eat my dust" to your old migraine!!

HOW TO INSTALL
WARNING: Dragons Ahead!
But don’t worry the dragon has been tamed. Even dragon is still a dragon, so still don’t be careless & follow the instruction carefully.
First, make sure the pre-conditions fulfilled:
• have any GB 2.3.3 or upper on your device (or any CM7 rom).
• Already made sd-ext partition on your sd-card (and make sure don’t ever let cwm-recovery touch it reformatting again!), recommended use ext4, more over if want to activated S2E (optional). Don't know how to create partition? Go to mr.waqasshahzad1986 section first, believe me he is your best guide here.
• Have cwm-recovery 5.x (recommended px-cwm or px-cwm-v2). You don't have any yet? Please visit mr.phiexz for CM-7.1 RC-3.0 & cwm 5.x section where this rom originally ported.
• Downloaded Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 zip file copied onto your sd card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 here:
Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1.zip
Installation:
• Just Flash & Play!* via cwm-recovery 5.x (press & hold Home+Power button to enter recovery mode)
*no need to wipe or mount anything, install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card > CyanoobsMod-7.1.3.1.zip > Yes-Install
• And you just officially 'noobed'! (I mean you already have Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 on your device).
*always recalibrate your battery after flashing any rom!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
easy right?
Optional follow up action:
1. Market
If you want to keep market 2.3.6 as your market and don’t want to get any updated, open terminal emulator (pre-installed with your CM7) and type this:
su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that will disabled your market updater, but you still can enable it anytime if you decided want to get updated. just change the “disable” type to “enable” with the rest script are still the same.
recommended!! do this as soon as possible after flashed before you got updated automatically. if you already updated just uninstall the new market at "setting>applications>manage applications" and hurry type the script or you can activate flight mode so you will not get updated.
You can ignore all the things from the beginning if you want your market soon get updated (you will get your market updated automatically as long as your internet keep active)
2. Activated S2E (sd-ext ext4 needed!)
• Download S2E from market
• Open it and open its menu, setting, checklist all.
• Buffer size value better leave it as default (there is a chance S2E would repel the partition if set more than 256KB)
• Back, open menu again, choose reboot (usually it won’t reboot at your first time, so you may reboot it manually).
• after reboot open S2E again and checklist all (recommended leave the "application data" still uncheck, but you may check it if you want ap2sd extreme activated).
• open menu, choose reboot again (at this time it should be worked).
• and yes now you have your CM7 with S2E activated.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can ignore all the things if you want try any other app2sd like link2sd (even I think it ported optimized with S2E).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Issues:
• There’s a known bug on gio that it can’t be helped. Cwm-recovery have a habit to reformatting your sd-ext, but it does not format the card correctly on gio. It may not harm if you not using any app to sd-ext things (S2E/link2sd/ app2sd/… or etc), but it does if you do. That’s why I warn you to avoid cwm-recovery ever touching your sd-ext (ex:wipe/format/restore/...etc). Just format your sd-ext partition into ext4 only using your computer. If you want to do any recovery backup-restore things better use any other apps, like Titanium Backup maybe (sorry it may just my limitation, hope the other dev here can help us there).

Notes:
• As it actually designed for noobs, please be wise to use it as it be. Please, don’t try to do silly things to your rom. Don’t try improvised things that some thing to do with your rom like modding or added tweaks. It may ruined your rom (conflict tweaks caution) and please don’t blame me for that. Customize it will be very welcome as long as not touch that area.
• Sure advance users will always have privileges to do sort things (with notes they knew well the risks. sorry noobs, i'm not being double standard here. i'm a noob too anyway). Feel free to have a try my rom for test its stability sir… your reviews would be really very very appreciated.
• Please ignore some grammar error as long as you can understand me.

don't be fooled by its name guys... it noobs by the installation difficulty level...
but it have CM7 fullest potential...

Flash kernel and it will see your partition it helped to me
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk

guys i learned & did some little test about gps setting n tweaks... my self conclusion about it gps is very so depend on location (ex:like the country where we live)... it's hard to generalized the issue... some specific setting/tweak can be optimized on some specific location, but can ruined on the other specific location...
so far i have no problem with the current gps, so i just leave it as it is (with the thoughts it's the best default setting)... i won't counted it as an issue as long there is no report so far...

sometimes there is a chance s2e repel the partition if the buffer size value set default changed... so better just leave it as default... i''ll edited the s2e activation step...
oh yeah u can try some custom kernel from Delanoister, use the kernel for CM-7.1...

just found out that when you flash turbo boost, it disables the swap that comes with Shpongle ROM flash.
Fix the permissions of 01swap in init.d (chmod 775) and you would get a lot more swap space. Might as well use it since that internal SD isn't being mounted anyway.

First, THANK YOU!!!
Second, well, I read all posts in Turbo Boost, and, if I'm not completely wrong, idea of Turbo Boost is, to disable system swap and replace it with it's own... So, of course, also Shpongle's swap is disabled...
Third, I made change you suggested, everything is working excellent, I (unfortunately) can not see any difference... :good:
Fourth, I updated OP with your tip/trick... :victory:

Second, well, I read all posts in Turbo Boost, and, if I'm not completely wrong, idea of Turbo Boost is, to disable system swap and replace it with it's own... So, of course, also Shpongle's swap is disabled...
Third, I made change you suggested, everything is working excellent, I (unfortunately) can not see any difference... :good:
Fourth, I updated OP with your tip/trick... :victory:

First, I think we need to assess the pros/cons of swap, and this would highly depend on your usage pattern.
I have another similar spec'd low RAM device that has is running on stripped down barebones (Greenify most stuff, modded autostart receivers..etc) and its working well without any zram/swap. For the HOV I decided the internal nand can take some abuse and still outlast the irreplaceable battery, so making use of unused internal space since we cannot change the partition layouts makes sense.
Pros:
1. More RAM (technically swapped out stuff isn't in the RAM) but we have increased multi-tasking capability
Cons:
1. Slow I/O reading/writing to the NAND as opposed to fast RAM
2. Risk the NAND dies and your phone goes dead
3. More CPU overhead to organize all the I/O, and even more if you use compression like KSM (I think this is still a worthwhile compromise to reduce the amount of data written)
Using swap makes the phone slower in general, but you can also do much more with it. If you like lots of stuff open in the background, browse web pages while listening to music, switch between apps to copy stuff back and forth, this is a nice compromise.
If you are going to use swap, I would say you might as well use lots of it! That is even if you don't see an improvement.
You are spreading out the writing stress across a larger number of cells, get more multi-tasking capability for the phone and see low memory killer work much less often.

Well, i tried, i wiped everything, sd card included. Then I installed Shpongle from "scratch", gapps, then just CrossBreeder, without TurboBoost. Everything was working, but I noticed lags here and now... I tried, also testing battery duration... :victory:
No FC, no reboots, no bad things at all (Latest Shpongle and latest Ironman kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367804).
Then I put TurboBoost on. Difference is like compact car to F1... Sorry, I totally got/understood what you wrote, but, at least for my hov, TurboBoost is awesome... :fingers-crossed:

I think you might have misunderstood something.
I do recommend using Turbo Boost, but on top of that, also use the internal sd partition as swap. (01swap that comes with Shppongle)
Flashing Turbo Boost changes permissions of 01swap in init.d and disables it.
I believe the logic assumes if you are already mounting a swap file, it's a swap file made on a slower external sd card, but that is not the case with 01swap on HOV.
If you enable 01swap again then you would effectively have 4 Swaps.

The cache partition is non-write-able is Shpongle, thats why u cant use it as swap

what to do???? i got stucked at htc logo....

can i ask a few questions?
1) does the battery performance is better than stock rom?
2)what is the setting for one power guard for sphongle?

[Q] Two Quick questions

Hello ,
My last ROM problem was solved and I know have CM9 ROM .
But I noticed that the files on my sd card are still there ,and I want a Clean start .
I am used that they are deleted whenever I made a ( Reset to factory settings ) as I was making always before thinking to Root and make Custom ROM ,
I just wanted to know what would happen if I Made a ( Reset to factory settings ) from the settings menu ,
ofcourse I know my backup that I have on the internal card will be deleted but :
Will I lose the Root ?
Will I lose the Custom ROM and go back to the original ROM ?
The second question is , I heard before that I can share some space from my external sdcard to my internal sd card , is that really possible by any method ?
Sorry for long topic .

Any one ?

Search on the W forum for a thread by @pepoluan about 'pristine' wiping your phone....it will help you achieve the 'fresh start' that you want....and yes, unless you move your nandroid to alternative storage, you will probably lose it.
And as far as I remember, CM9 has the option to swap storage mounts which will allow you to use your external micro SD card as phone storage......
Find it by......
Menu>>settings>>storage>>menu>>advanced....
and then 'tick' the box against (something like) 'use SD card as phone storage' (it's been a while so I can't remember the exact wording)......

using reset to factory settings will not lose your root, afair coz i've used that b4.

when u install custom rom basically ur stock rom (original rom) is already erased, right? so i don't think it will restore ur stock rom, u can try it though
How do I swap the internal and external SD on CM9 ?

Settings -> Storage->Menu-Button->Storage configuration (a restart might be necessary)

Thank you very much keithross39 and dec0der ,
I have resetted my phone without any problems at all ,
I just have another newbie question please
I see people talking about ROMs saying for example : CM9 EOL Honeyx Kernel
I don't inderstand anything in this except CM9 , But what is EOL , and what is Honeyx Kernel ?
I downloaded my CM9 version from the official thread here
I know it is written EOL in the Title of the official thread but I don't know what it mean ? and what is the Kernel ? and what name of the kernel I use ?

EOL as far as I know simply means end of line....which means the final release or no further development.... and the kernel is just something you flash on top of the ROM which allows greater control of things like processor speed, voltage etc. Flashing a kernel *can* have it's advantages, but it is not something you *have* to do......

Yes thanks I get it .
But from your experience is flashing kernel is as risky as flashing ROMs ,and do I have to also swap my files when installing it , and if I have a CM 9 . Can I flash any kernel with the name CM9 on it and not CM10 right ?( I am sorry but indeed I was very scared to flash ROM because of the too much talk about bricking the phone ) .

When you modify your phone there's *always* going to be an element of risk.....whether that risk is higher when flashing a kernel or not, I don't know......I've always stayed with the kernel that comes with my chosen ROM. To answer another question, yes you have to use a kernel that is compatible with your ROMs OS version. As for the storage mount swap, I'm fairly certain that this is ROM controlled as opposed to kernel controlled, so you should be OK....

Thanks keithross ,
So I think I am fine with just the CM9 and no need for other kernel ( at least for now ) .

Yeah.....you can always try a kernel another time....but do yourself a favor..... read as much as you can about every kernel you are considering before you flash it.....in the same way that every ROM is different, every kernel will be different and bring different tweaks to your phone.......

First of all it´s nice to see there are still such smart noobs like you who are posting their questions in the correct section. For this you deserve a 1+
About the rest it´s like keithross already said. First become familiar with your fevorite ROM. There is still time to test all the kernels out.
All the custom kernels are supposed to incrase battery life but also have some other tweaks included. Most of them are very similar because they are using a lot of the exact same tweaks like for example the ones for battery. However there are always some differences like the amount of added tweaks.
This is because all the Developers do have slightly different priorities to what is important to tweak. Some devs are more conservative and just adding the tweaks that are really important in his opinion and are also known to work properly with all devices whereas other devs are more openminded to add some new tweaks.
However this doesn´t mean some of them are better and some of them are worse. It´s just like that. One and the same kernel can work very good on one SGW whereas it may cause some problems on a secound SGW due to the included tweaks. Therefore it´s also good to have such a wide-spread variety of custom kernels, so everyone can find out which of them works best on his device.

People should start using Google.
Go to this URL and press 'Ctrl+F' or menu button then find on phones.
Type Kernel and discover things you never knew. As keithross said, research on these kind of stuff before you flash em.
I honestly learnt mine from here but you are free to use Google.
If you use the second link, ignore any talk about sbf. Its Motorola related.

Special thanks for all of you keithross , honeyx , and idelta ...
I think I have been very familial with the CM9 and I will be reading about your kernel honeyx very soon , I want to try it first one
Thanks again
