IML74K Kernel
Credits: turl, isaacj, Michael Huang, erasmux, Mathieu Desnoyers, ezeekiel
Special thanks to:
- cyanogen,firefart,trock79 for the JDkernel app.
- Ziggy for teaching me how to patch kernels.
- Imoseyon for general help here and there.
So, its finally here! After rigorous testing, my testers and I feel that this kernel is acceptable for release. I spent the last few days squashing bugs and optimizing the kernel, testing it, and making sure it works well on the Maguro and Toro
Features:
JDKernel Updater App
CIFS
Optimized Smartass2 Cpufreq governor
Hotplug Cpufreq governor
Optimized LagFree Cpufreq governor
Patched as close to mainline as possible (3.0.14)
Overclock to 1.35ghz
CFQ IOSCHED
Undervolted a nice amount
removed some bloat
Using EXT4 for EXT2/3
GPU O/C
FAIR_SLEEPERS
Optimized makefile
Lowered default_dirty_ratio to 10
Lowered vfs_cache_pressure to 50
Swap enabled
SLQB slab allocater
other mods too small for me to remember.
CHANGELOG:
v1.1.2: Re-did source, removed some bloat, changed to CFQ, changed to SLQB, Undervolted, optimize smartass and Lagfree govs, removed interactiveX
v1.0.0.5: Initial release

so, just to make sure .... this kernel is NOT working with 4.0.2 or?
Thx for your work!
Use this Kernel with MONACO r8 and it runs like hell!
GTA 3 is working!

Runs like hell? I don't quite know what to make of that!? I take it the phone gets quite hot?

Few pointers: why do you have swap? We don't need bloody swap in this devices. BFQ scheduler? BFQ is for rotational devices, we have flash devices. Why SLAB and no SLQB or SLUB? Why smartass2? Smartass2 isn't working good, even after changing the tunables for SMP. Why interactiveX? We already have interactive and it already has a built-in sysfs screen off freq parameter. Lagfree governor? It looks like Minmax to me.
Merry christmas!
i don't have any tech knowledge about kernels and such so i can't comment on franco's input but i have to agree with lordofcamster;
i'm too running the latest MCR release and together with this kernel the thing is really smooooth; oc'ed at 1350 ( 1125 uv ) with interactiveX governor
batterylife seems pretty ok too; i'm trying to drain the battery to see how much screen time i can get...
so far 2hrs + some minutes screen on and i'm down to 56% battery;
( in between i restarted the phone 5 times )
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does tuna refer to?

Well, the kernel is rather new. So no rapports yet. So stating the battery life isnt great, is premature

Just my 2 cents . No offence here. Totally agree that still premature. Im testing it now

We've got this cool thing called PM (Private Message) on this great board. Give it a go sometime

Heres my opinion: with this kernel, lags all over Settings, switching apps, market. But scrolling pages in menu is fine. Cant test battery atm as im almost out and need a recharge
OVERALL: u defo getting there but we need some minor tweaks here and there. Im so sorry that i cant help much as im not a kernel master but those r just my 2 cents

This is a dev forum, not a chat board. I gave him my input to help him, I got nothing to hide from the users.

never heard of it :sarcasm:
why?
advantages?
disadvantages?
link for governor source?
i'm not a dev, but that post won't make a good argument for why it should be ported from somewhere, in this case nexus s/sgs2.
the way i see it, there's no need for it, interactive is the best governor.
Hi everybody...
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the following information about IO Schedulers?
a) best for peformance? (I.e. gaming)
b) best for multitasking?
c) best for saving battery?
Thanks in advance
Recently I searched some info about this topic and these are my thoughs:
a) Noop
b) Sio
c) Not relevant. CPU Governor is key to save battery but not IO scheduler.
True but noop is a bit battery friendly.

Thanks for the answers
Using these schedulers definitely makes a difference

Hello GN2 Users,
So I've recently been playing with my CPU settings and I've been messing with different governors.
My question to you all is which governor do you like to use and why?
I like On Demand because it seems to give me the same performance with better battery life. But this is purely observation. I haven't done any benchmarking to actually test it yet.
Please add your input!

i like lulzactive with zen, or powersave with noop

Thread will probably be moved but

Sorry about that. Where would the proper place for this be?
What do you use to toggle different governors? I use ROM Toolbox Pro, and it doesn't have the ZEN or many of the other Android governors that I've read about. Is there a way to add new governors?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Govs are part of your kernel. ..not your control app.
Different roms will contain those kernel governors, or you could find a compatible kernel to go with your current rom....g

Just post in Q&A sections.
Yes, not sure if your kernel support it. I use the same app, ROM toolbox pro but you can also give NO FRILLS CPU a try too
