Hi!

This is my first kernel for Nexus S. It is based on _thalamus 3.0.29_r1 kernel.
Matt's kernel don't have OC, LiveOC or similar features.

Original changelog/features from _thalamus:
*Second stable release based on AOSP 3.0.8 source, merged up to 3.0.29 from mainline kernel.org
*PM Fast for wifi
*Deadline I/O scheduler tweaked for flash for lowest I/O latencies
*Ondemand governor tweaked to sample less at higher frequencies to reduce overhead
*Config: CFS CPU scheduler, Deadline I/O scheduler, Ondemand CPU governor, SLUB allocator, Tiny Preempt RCU, Tun/Tap, IP advanced routing and CIFS built in
*Various compiler warnings and section mismatches fixed
*Disabled a stack of debug options resulting in a slightly faster kernel.
*Built with latest Linaro toolchain (GCC 4.6-2012.03)

* Changelog/features for v0.8 (29/04/2012):
  • Stock Display Freq
  • Added BLD & BLN
  • block: limit default readahead size for small devices
  • BLD Enabled (3000ms)
  • BLN Enabled (I need test)
  • KSM tweaked
  • Added modified liblights for BLN

Changelog/features for v0.6 (29/04/2012):
  • Optimized compiler flags
  • Increased HZ to 1000
  • Added optimized CRC32 algorithm
  • Increased default readahead value to 1024KB

Changelog/features for v0.5 (29/04/2012):
  • Gzip
  • Enabled KSM for page merging
  • Disabled "Debug Filesystem"
  • Disabled "Kernel debugging"
  • Patched from 3.0.29 to 3.0.30
  • 65FPs panel
  • Little tweak for Deadline
  • Added ARM RWSEM algorithm
  • Added SLQB memory allocator
  • Build with 4.6-2012.04 Linaro

I have high performance but I don't know yet about battery drain.
Remember to wipe Dalvik cache.

I'll implement soon BLN, I need it.

For another things, I don't know. For now I need tests for this kernel.

Hope! ;)

Welcome to the Nexus S community.

I`ve used your kernel for a couple of hours now. Like the other folks, I miss also BLN, and also Voodoo sound/colors.

Besides, the only downside till now has was the laggy 3D performance in games. I thought that it was only the game, but tested 3d in Quadrant Advance, and it was still the case.

Overall, your Kernel is snappy and stable-no random reboots till now. I`ll be waiting impatiently for your next release:cool:

using root explorer, go to /system/lib/egl/ and delete the libGLES_android.so file. reboot, then try quadrant again. any difference?

    nice little benchmark ;)
    Does Sygic keep the screen on when used or it gives just sound guidance with screen off? and have you activated deep idle?

    1 hour screen on & sound. Deep idle activated.
    Tested with AOSP+N.8.1, Brainmasters 3.0 and Androxide 2.0.0.
