That was absolutely very helpful information that I will def use in the future.

From the sounds of it here is where I am. I am running Nexus Evolution that comes stock with an experimental LK so the kernel should use its own ramdisk, then i flashed TK which used system ramdisk, but then when I flashed back to LK it seems like a setting stuck in the system ramdisk that is over riding only the I/O scheduler for some reason. Even after dirty flashing the ROM and Kernel again?

I guess what I am asking is how do I go from existing (or system?) Ramdisk to a boot.IMG kernel without wiping the whole system(clean flash)? Or is that not possible?

Ok, so this is how it goes. You have Nexus Evolution which runs LK. When you flash the ROM, the zip wipes system and flashes the ROM to system. It then flashes the boot.img containing the ramdisk and LK. When you flash a boot.img it overwrites everything. Nothing gets stuck as it's a complete overwrite. Then when you flash TK it will pull the existing ramdisk and replace the kernel and repack it into a boot.img and flash it. Then your new boot.img becomes the boot.img from the ROM with LK replaced with TK as the zImage.

One easy way to tell if the kernel uses boot.img is as said above. There will be a file called boot.img when you open the zip. An anykernel zip (one that takes the existing ramdisk already on the phone and replaces the kernel - zImage) will have a kernel folder with a zImage file in it and no boot.img file.

I don't believe your issue is a bug with either LK or TK or a combination. It could be a script the dev had loaded or an app in the ROM that is interfering. See if you can check with the ROM dev about the I/O scheduler not sticking and if anyone else had this issue. I don't know if wiping will solve it but you should never need to wipe data to deal with swapping kernels. Reinstalling the ROM will reset the kernel and ramdisk back to what came with the ROM. A dirty flash is more than sufficient and it always wipes system so any custom init.d scripts will be removed and you'll only have the ones with the ROM. It's also possible the ROM dev tweaked the boot.img. What does the I/O scheduler get set to at boot? Trickster should be able to change it. LK defaults to deadline I believe.

How do you install tinykernel? I get bootloops with 3.0, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5.1

You just flash it like any other kernel. Make sure it's a good download. Redownload maybe?

Either way, all the versions you listed worked for me. If they didn't they wouldn't be released and have many users successfully using them. For best results, make sure you're using the Android 4.2 with the kernel versions you mentioned. This kernel is compatible with all Galaxy Nexus models so I don't know why it wouldn't work for you.

Just want to make sure, 3.0.0 will work on 4.2.2?

You sir just blew my mind and am still trying to digest this, but I am sure you know what you are talking about and thank you for taking the time to write that response out. Now I have to take the time to try to understand. Time to research

any issues with Shiny Rom 2/22/13 build and this kernel?

I don't see any reason why there would be. Version 3 is compatible with JB 4.2.x meaning 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, even if the binaries are out of date on 4.2.2 it will work fine.

The latest update has nothing to do with cfq or anything io scheduler. What do you mean your happy with cfq? All the same this update will make no difference unless you use the Wheatley CPU governor.

    This is my first kernel on the Galaxy Nexus. I came from working on two previous kernels on the Droid Incredible.

    The kernel will only work on JB and is carrier independent as all Galaxy Nexus kernels are from 4.0.3 onwards. It uses the AnyKernel updater method so it's compatible with ANY ROM.

    Code: 
    /* NON-STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
I understand that if I disable fsync I am liable for any possible data corruption that could result.  While dynamic fsync has been added, there is still the risk of data corruption.
*/

    IMPORTANT: On 3.3.0/1.12.0 and higher, the WiFi drivers from the Linux 3.4 kernel branch breaks WEP functionality. Also, to ROM devs that want to bake in this kernel into their ROM, they will need to pull the hostapd file included into their /system/bin or WiFi tethering will not work.

    *NOTE* starting with 4.0.1 there is now a Jellybean 4.1 version as well as a Jellybean 4.2 build with the old WiFi driver
    Please pay attention to the zip you're downloading

    *NOTE* 5.0 and higher are based on Android 4.3. It is not recommended to be flashed on Android 4.2.2 or older ROMs.

    *NOTE* 5.5 has both ASRAM and non ASRAM versions

    Changelog:

    JB 4.3/KK 4.4

    5.5
    optimized LPDDR RAM timings (~10% throughput increase)
    ASRAM: Reduce the Additional Safe RAM to 40MB.
    split into ASRAM and NO-ASRAM configs
    Revert "defconfig: Update with android recommended config"

    5.4

    5.2

    Tinykernel 4.0.0 is live.

    Along with some WiFI driver updates and other small updates the most prominent feature of this release is the bluetooth changes in the board file to support 4.1.x now as well as 4.2.x. The only issue that was holding this back in 3.0 was that bluetooth would not start. I've verified that with this change in the 3.4.2 test and now the 4.0.0 release that now bluetooth works in 4.1 and 4.2 Jellybean.

    A secondary promiment feature though not as neat is dynamic fsync. I took faux's dynamic fsync and fixed a bug where dynamic fsync control was always on and applied one of his later enhancements. This is probably my favorite kernel release yet.

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on an upcoming build, or two builds (4.1.x and 4.2.x versions):

    So, I made some changes over the last couple days to the kernel. FIFO I/O scheduler for one and a fix to a possible memory leak in the SLUB allocator. Either way, it seems like this upcoming build may be smoother or it's the new CM nightly. I don't know which. What you can expect:

    FIFO I/O scheduler
    zcache/cleancache/ksm to help with memory management
    fix to a possible memory leak in the SLUB allocator
    intellidemand (if I can get it to build)

    I kind of like the idea of the FIFO (first in first out) scheduler. It's supposed to be a true no-op scheduler so we'll see how this one goes. FIOPS is a bit complicated on my kernel code base as it needs some backporting/patches to build on 3.0 as it was designed for 3.4 so I'm not sure if FIOPS will happen.

    Also soon to come is 1.11 which should be the Jellybean 4.1 version with all the new changes from 2.6 or 2.7 to 3.1 and these changes.

    OP updated. A couple of notes. Try the deadline I/O scheduler. You may see better results than before. Also, there is a new fast charge USB patch in this build. Anarkia reverted it but the dev who came up with this patch has confirmed it works as intended. Check OP for some more info. Fast charge still has to be enabled and you have to re-plug in your device to register it after turning it on. If it does not work for you, please provide a detailed description of the problem.

    WiFi drivers are updated for the New WiFi build. I have tested WEP 128-bit encrpytion to my HTC One hotspot configured for WEP and it connected fine. Maybe the issue has always been the key not being correct before. Either way, WEP should in theory work but I have a tester testing this on the earlier test build. If you need WEP to work and don't want to test, use the old WiFi drivers build.

    Enjoy!

    5.5 is official. Nothing changed from earlier. I just thought the OP needed updating.
