[Kernel] ardatdat kernel v1.7b1 & b2 beta released [CWM] (2012-05-02)

Dear all,

I am going to start a new post for the new 1.7b1 & 1.7b2 beta such that all members are able to see them.

First, specially thanks to UnknownzD for providing the source codes for Voodoo Sound enhancements to Galaxy R. You are the man!

Now, after posting the v1.7 beta kernel to some Chinese forum, it is discovered that kernel based on ZCLD4 will cause 'auto rotation' malfunction on non-Chinese ROMs (such as XWLA4, ZSKK5, etc...)

It is also proved that kernel based on XWLA4 will not cause any 'auto rotate' problems, but it does not support 2-way voice recording & off-machine alarm.

So, I have revised 2 versions of v1.7 beta. Both version inherits all features from v1.6 & Voodoo Sound enhancements.

v1.7b1 (beta 1) (based on ZCLD4 Chinese kernel)
==================================
- Well support for Chinese based ROM (such as ZCKK1, ZCLA1, ZCLD4, etc...)
- Will not cause any 'auto rotate' problems on Chinese based ROM, but will have rotate problem on European ROMs
- Support 2-way voice recording & off-machine alarm (Chinese-based ROMs only)

v1.7b2 (beta 2) (based on XWLA4 European kernel)
==================================
- Well support for non-Chinese based ROM (such as XWLAL4, ZSKK5, etc...)
- Will not cause any 'auto rotate' problems on any ROM
- Doesn't support 2-way voice recording & off-machine alarm

Please feel free to choose the one that suits your ROM.

v1.6 could be found there:

Again, I need some time to organize the source codes, please accept my apology as I am really busy in my work. I will push it to github once I organize them & am free.

Finally, flash at your own risk Please feed back how you feel and don't hesitate to give me a 'thank' if the kernel works great for you

** The source code has just been pushed to my github. Please kindly share our knowledge to make this phone better!

No worry, actually, not exposing the kernel src is actually violating the general rules in XDA. Give me some time, I am working on that

btw I have another performance boost for your kernel build.

Check here for more info :
https://github.com/UnknownzD/I9103_XW_Kernel/commit/5272617914704968960e16e68e6a62150434c5a9

You need to add the following things to KBUILD_CFLAGS
-O2 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mcpu=cortex-a9 -D__ARM_ARCH_7__ -D__ARM_ARCH_7A__ -D__VFP_FP__ -D__ARM_HAVE_VFP -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16

That will boost the performance as generating the best code for our device. For example, enabling hardware floating point calculation is already a boost for our device because it is not enabled by default.

Even if it could be enabled, there is one great feature of "off-machine" alarm in Chinese based ROM only. This feature allows you to set an alarm and then you shutdown your phone (while keeping your cable charging the phone). Just before 2 minutes before the alarm, the phone will be turned on automatically and the alarm will ring!

For example, the time now is 10:00, you set an alarm at 10:10 and you turn off your phone. At around 10:08, the phone will boot up automatically! And the alarm rings precisely at 10:00!

You can try that feature using Chinese based ROM such as ZCKK1, ZCLA1, ZCLD3, ZCLD4, etc... Thanks

well I will try to port that off-machine alarm to XW build later Now I need to head off for making my own ROM with specific build.prop and init script that can boost performance as I don't want to see two people working on 2 'different' kernel with same patches (wasted too much resources and those users are hard to follow).

I have actually made a ROM for I9003 before with a OC kernel which has boosted the performance better than the I9000. However I didn't release it on the xda as I have found that the I9003 forum is like a mess. And I am going to make all those patches I have made for I9003 ROM back to I9103 ROM so that further boost the android VM performance.

btw after 4~6 full days of work (I have made all my kernels and findings in these days), I need to head off for playing some games now

btw, watch out the SGS3 live stream boardcast as well!
