I have been sharing my CM7/CM9 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM. I picked up with jellybean where I stopped with ICS. MackayROM is based on CyanogenMod sources, with several performance enhancements.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.1 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on CM10 with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842324
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some handmade patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself

Coming from stock Samsung ROM/CM7:
-The safest way is to flash CM9 first and then flash Mackay ROM. Going directly from Samsung ROM/CM7 to Mackay ROM may lead to loosing IMEI.
Can be flashed on top of any CM9/CM10 build:
-Coming from CM9 or CM10-builds with an old/different partition layout (older than 0817, helly bean): your phone will be wiped (except SD card)
-Coming from a recent CM10 build (0817 or later): this is a non-wipe update
>Gapps is included in the zip since 1.2.0, so separate flashing of gapps is not needed!
-Custom kernels can be used only if patched for the new partition layout

First post, last couple of lines. If you already have new partitions, you're set. If you don't have them, the installer creates them.

Downloading the ROM right now. I haven't tried your earlier ROMs and kernels but I have heard a lot of good things about them. I wish you all the very best.
PS: What's the hoopla about the new partition layout? I'm sorry to be stupid but I have tried reading posts and it just doesn't seem to get into my head. If someone can explain the differences between the older and the newer layout or even give me a link to read, I'd be very grateful
Thx for this rom. I see your default governor is smartassv2, do you prefer it over wheatly? And how does the new bfq scheduler differ from sio?

SmartassV2 and SIO have always worked very well for me and other, so that's why I set them as default. Wheatley & BFQ v4 are both still in testing, so others can choose them as well, but I don't want to make them the default just yet.
BTW, for me, wheatley & bfq work very well.

The idea is simple, /system & /data have been swapped. Now /data is on the faster part of the internal memory (which is beneficial because there is lots of writing on /data) and /system (which is only read) is on the slower part of the internal memory. Disadvantage is that /data is now limited to 422MB, so people with lots of apps complain (although the solution here is to move apps to SD to save space on the smaller /data).

Hi people. This kernel aims to be fast, compatible, stable, and have good battery life. It makes our Galaxy S run the way it should.
This kernel is for the International Galaxy S (I9000) and Bell Mobility Vibrant (I9000M)
The SpeedMod kernel for the AT&T Captivate is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
Note: Only lagfixes using EXT4 are robust. Other lagfixes run the risk of data loss on freezing, hard-reboots, or sudden power loss.
WARNING: Before you try any lagfix, make sure that you have enough free space on your Internal SD. You should have at least more free space than data+dbdata+cache combined.
Latest K13E (12-Apr) - Voodoo Sound v7. Lowmemorykiller fixes. Improved display sharpness using AMOLED processing mode in MDNIE. Support for voice calls through headphones. Check here for more info and downloads.

Thank you! very useful..
Sounds good!
Could it be used in conjunction with Doc's ROM?
Implementing this in my next "Darky's Raw Steel Edition v3.1"
Cant wait. How about version A3 - O3, standart HZ (or 200, which ever you think is better) and OC (sources are already out)?
For now this is the ultimate kernel, without a doubt.
Btw, tried out HZ 100 quite extensively last night (plus ext4-ext2 and all tweaks). It is indeed not as smooth (with 6 pages of widgets in launcherpro, maximum memory consumption with 100 HZ - when you go to screen previews first drawing is slightly laggy. Without 100 - it is smooth on first attempt).
Battery life.. Well, subjectively - better, I would even say much better. But it needs more testing.
Startup script speed tweaks
# Tweak cfq io scheduler
Tweaked settings of the disk io scheduler more for flash memory. Defaults are optimized for spinning harddisks. Lowered the idle wait, re-enable the low latency mode of cfq, removed the penalty for back-seeks and explicitly tell the kernel the storage is not a spinning disk.
# Tweak kernel VM management
Set tendency of kernel to swap to minimum, since we don't use swap anyway.
Lower the amount of unwritten write cache to reduce lags when a huge write is required.
Increase tendency of kernel to keep block-cache to help with slower RFS filesystem.
Increase minimum free memory, in theory this should make the kernel less likely to suddenly run out of memory.
# Tweak kernel scheduler
Make the task scheduler more 'fair' when multiple tasks are running. This has a huge effect on UI and App responsiveness. These values (less aggressive settings) are 20% of the Linux defaults, and about half of the Android defaults.
# Miscellaneous tweaks
Manually set the starting dalvik heap size.
Increase wifi scanning gap to reduce battery usage.
@ Hardcore can you paste your Startup Reference, on your post too for a quick Faq for ppl here, looking for details on the tweaks.
Thanks

First Impression with O2 and HZ=500. It is just me or it is waaay much smoooother the user interface? The scrolling and even opening applications experience feels closer my old HTC Desire.
Let's see battery life, but something changed with this latest kernel (Have been using your ones from the other thread).

A quick message from ME!
I have NEVER, sold this rom, nor any open source software.
Nor, have I ever CHARGED money for access to my early releases.
The issue was with kernel source code, (or lack of it)
and in my public voice of dissatisfaction
Again, never have sold ANYTHING! But according to the GPL, I can.
Apparently, every single developer,
more so kernels and applications, developed under the GPL,
are required to have a source code up.
Kernels are GPL, my rom's apps are Apache
PLEASE REPORT ANY THREADS
OR DEVELOPERS
of roms/kernels & apps
THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE GPL!!!!
It is illegal software.
Alot of paid apps are GPL, and a source code is required
Also:
According to XDA: having a contributor release, is acceptable, but not preferred by xda.
Therefore: the Contributor program will remain.
Kernel source added: go to my website, and hit the information tab.
Although, I choose to advertise my work on XDA:
because of recent treatment, I will not be here, much
I will check in here, from time to time,
but I much prefer you join me on my website.
Fell free to post and discuss here, there...anywhere!
Thank you, everyone, who showed your support, while I was XDA banned

Hello.
Anyone can post any image or video review of this new build (2.3.7)? Thanks.
I want to take a look on new realse before to install it.

Sounds like an outside issue.
I have over 8000 current euro users, as in, using right now.
havent heard them say its an issue.
Maybe reflash modem.
Because BOCA doesnt change modem.
If your modem worked before BOCA, it should still be the same.

Ps, yes its daily driver status.
And has awesome battery.
No more 'less than a day, and its dead'

Rules and FAQs
Read before downloading
(Note: I don't wanna be rude, I just want to keep this thread clean...)
Q: What settings do you recommend? What governor? What IO Scheduler?
A: I recommend the default settings. This is why it there by default!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: My phone as rebooted on its own or is stuck on a reboot loop.
A: There are 3 reason why your phone may reboot on its own:
1. Your phone does not handle the Undervolt of the kernel
Flash the stock voltage add-on. (NO I will not make the kernel with stock voltage by default)
2. Your phone cannot handle the Overclock of the kernel
Use another kernel, Sorry...
3. There is a bug in the kernel and I should fix it:
Post the /proc/last_kmsg output as a ZIP in the thread. BUT, before posting make sure the last_kmsg contains the mention "Kernel panic", if not, don't bother posting this because your problem is related to point 1 or 2...A kernel Panic looks like this:
Code:
[ 4079.850240] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ 4079.850307] Backtrace:

Q: Why did you remove feature X?
A: Because I think it sucks
* This is my personal opinion and I am allowed to have it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Can you add feature X?
A: Depends. Before asking that question, check the changelog.
If it was removed, NO.
* If you have a really good reason why you think a feature should come back from the dead, you can defend your case by PM.
If it's a new feature that I may not know about, just let me know of the feature and I'll consider it.
If its a new shinny CPU governor or IO scheduler, NO the ones that will remain do the job perfectly...

Q: What does feature X do?

Not working with NSTools, only showing 96% try to move it to 100% and stay stuck on 96%, any idea ?

Any thoughts on the comparison of CFQ and BFQ?

100% battery mod is a cosmetic fix. BLX will never go over 96%. If you do go over 96%, you'll damage your battery...

I'm using a cold color mod instead of voodoo colors. Voodoo color was never actually an 100% completed project. Because of the green flicker issue, voodoo color was not included in the kernel. Pawitp from team hacksung seems to be working on an alternative to voodoo color for the GalaxyS. I might try that in future release...
I'm aiming for a really stable kernel. Only features that I know work and that work well will go in.
Breaks USB tether
This kernel breaks USB tether. I am using CM 9 alpha 19 with Glados 2.7. Switched back to Glados and USB tether works again.
Downloaded and flashed. Seems to be running good. Showing benchmark scores only slightly behind other kernels running 1300/1400mhz.
Thanks for posting this up. I like it!

Wifi hotspot is far better than USB tether IMHO... I'll test both later.
Just like for CM9, I started making CM10 kernels. The philosophy is the same: stock plus a few extras
This kernel is thus based on stock CM10-kernel by pawitp.
If you like a CM10-based ROM with the Mackay kernel included, there is also MackayROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842328

No. All features are in OP (and can be seen on my github). I don't believe myself that deep idle is worth the risks....

By the way... what do you think about wheatley governor?

I tried it the whole day today actually. On ICS I was not too happy with it (no improvement, more battery drain), on JB it still doesn't feel much better than SmartassV2, but at least the drain is not higher anymore. I'll test it for a few more days
Yeeey. A new kernel for CM10 .That's good for us,users of this phone.
It's possible to include in your kernel voodoo sound support?
Hi thank you for your kernel, can you implement swap and zram features to your kernel?

Voodoo sound is already included (just like stock kernel).

No, again a feature that I don't feel adds that much. Also, I prefer kernel features that can be settings through cm10 settings, or terminal...

But swap maintains programs on memory, and switch between them instantly . Like the devil kernel...

I know the principle of swap. Sounds like an interesting idea to test. Not sure yet whether it falls within my philosophy
I think the "Keep it simple" philosophy is a good one. My favorites kernels of all time are Midnights, and they were "simple" yet very efficient.
The only thing I miss from Mackay is BLN, (and it was in midnight gb&ics), because not all apps works with the "simple" CM Led notification.
"keep it simple, keep it safe"
I don't really like bln as it requires a separate app to control. But I agree it works better than stock led. I'll give it a try

With the help of rootax, I can now provide my kernel/roms with fast download! Link in OP has been updated. Thanks a lot rootax!
I added a vote option to choose between CM10 stock led notification and BLN. Please motivate your choice in a reply
I voted BLN, it works with more apps than cm led notif.
I decided to share my efforts.
This is kasper's Mackay JB kernel compiled for the GT-I9000B (Latin america variant of the I9000). Kasper_h doesn't support this variant, so me (leonardoafa) tweaked the build to make this awesome kernel works for the I9000B.
With that said, here comes the disclaimer: By flashing this kernel, you accept that it comes without any support, neither mine and even less so from kasper_h, since he doesn't support this variant on his own releases. So please don't bother him with support questions regarding this specific build. IOW: you'll use this kernel at your own risk.
I *may* be able to help depending on whatever problems you might have, but don't expect timely answers, or any answers at all if I'm not technically able to figure out your problem - I'm a very beginner on kernel development, all I did with this was just set it up to works with our varian (I9000B) and then recompile it. Also, I'm doing this on my free time, which is not much these days, so for now I'm just going to focus on following kasper_h builds and recompile them for the I9000B as they come. I can say though, as far as problems, I don't have any with it on my device - it works fine and fast for me.
This kernel is exactly the same as kasper_h builds (hence, the exact same features and changelogs, including compiler versions and configuration).
Changelog 0.273 compared to previous release (0.270)
-Ondemand code updated based on the improvements made by stratosk
-Upstream updates (allow mounting ISO images)
-Disable Linaro Building
-Removed asserts from update script to avoid error status 7 for some people when flashing.
On 2.7.0+ Mackay ROMs, BLN can be activated in Mackay settings
On other roms, install the kernel, reboot, open /data/local/mackay/bln and change the 0 for 1. Then reboot and BLN will be activated. This will survive kernel/ROM upgrades (off course, when installing a non-Mackay kernel it will not enable BLN, but when returning to Mackay, BLN will be automatically reactivated). Only a factory reset will disable BLN. If your ROM has the system option Pulse Notification Lights you can activate BLN lights through this option too, with needless to change /data/local/mackay/bln to 0 or 1.

This is a freshly started project. Ideas for improvements/additions are welcome but:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
kasper_h
which allow me to use his source, and give me sooo much help to get it working.
INFO:
Unfortunatelly i will not update this kernel anymore, since i moved to SGS3, and don't have SGS to test the compilations. Now i have new device do play with.
Sorry guys
Thank you for doing that, because now we get another kernel available to our model, I even managed to compile it, but as with many roms'm not left me time to perfect compilation.
Thank you so much.
One question, this is still for Kernel 4.2.1 or 4.2.2?

Thank you for your feedback.
It should work fine for both then!
Cheers mate!
Good to see mackay kernel being available for a wider audience!
It's great to even Kasper_h because we need different kernel and good as yours, congratulations to both for the work.

Are you asking, or affirming? If you want to know if 720p is broken because of big mem libs the answer is no.
720p works fine.

Thanks, any app to manage the kernel on CM10.1 ?
Edit: never mind, I'm using Semaphore Manager and works fine
This kernel seems to be very smooth, using Interactive and Row
