Hello,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S1 I9000.
I've installed yesterday CM11 nightly and updated it today (cm-11-20131211-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd). I decided to update my kernel for increased speed, RAM etc. I am a noob here. I have installed first this CyanCore v3.5.0 and then the Semaphore_KK_3.4.0s. Honestly, I can not tell any difference, most probably because I do not have any knowledge in this section. The only thing I've noticed is that on both kernels the Youtube does not work and on Semaphone after ~20minutes of talking the phone got kind of hot (didn't test on CyanCore kernel).

Briefly, can anybody explain me which is better performance-wise?

CyanCore is based on Semaphore, and changes are listed on the first post. In terms of performance, there are a lot of patches, and support for OC, updates to governors and schedulers.

These terms are completely abstract to me. Do they work automatically or do I need to install some app (such as Semaphore Manager) and then tweak it?

Reading the thread would help you. You must flash the bigmem libs

You'r right :) fixed it
I'm wondering how it works :p installed CyanAOSP 1.7 and it was good, preformance etc then flashed new kernel and games runs very smooth. Then after flashing bigmem libs gaming turn to be very unstable. FPS are high, games smooth but there are many heavy frame drops.

Bigmem libs doesnt affect games. It only affects video recording and playback.

ART Specific Kernel?

Hi ts1506,

Would you consider making a ART specific version of the i9000 Kernel?

If this runtime is theoretically faster and smoother, it could be the missing key to further improvements to the i9000.

ART is definitely slower at loading apps at the moment, but this may be because the Kernel needs some optimisation. I noticed it was mainly slower when databases needed to be accessed, but this is not based on anything scientific.

I realise this may require quite a bit of work, so understand if you say it is not worthwhile. Just throwing out an idea. Thanks.

ART is a ROM part, its a runtime, nothing to do with kernel. And our IO is slow anyway, nothing software can fix.

:good:
This kernel is exactly what I was looking for! :victory:
I was thinking of compiling my own, but am too new to this and didn't get very far.

Before KK semaphore was my daily driver and I was very happy with it.
With KK and better working ZRAM and a real felt benefit in user experience I switched to Mackay.
There I found out that my phone indeed does work with normal OC, with LiveOC in semaphore I got reboots even with 1% LiveOC.
I thought my phone isn't overclockable at all.

Youtube and videoplay work without I had to install bigmem libs separately afterwards.:good:

Now my daily driver will be CyanCore with 410MB Ram, ZRAM and OC to 1200 and my phone flies :highfive:

Thanks for this excellent work to you stratos and also all contributers to our beloved I9000 without them an KK would never run on so old devices! :good:

Enjoying my rockstable and flying I9000 I wish all developers on XDA a very nice X-Mas !

P.S.: It's a pity you don't have a donation possibility

    This kernel is based on Semaphore Kernel by stratosk with a few changes I felt to be missing in Semaphore.

    This kernel combines the speed and stability of semaphore along with few additions for the best combination.

    It is compatible with all KK 4.4 ROMs based on official CM10.2 layout.
    Kernel versions 3.3.0 and lower are compatible with JB 4.3.x.
    Kernel versions 2.9.0 and lower are compatible with JB 4.2.x.

    Differences with Semaphore

    Entropy tweaks
    Patched for 720p usage
    Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) enabled
    ZRAM enabled as module (usable via init.d script, attached below)
    SWAP enabled
    FRANDOM module included
    Some Kernel Debug related stuff disabled
    Wheatley Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
    Intellidemand Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
    Lulzactive Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
    Lazy Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
    Lagfree Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
    Load_freq(4*HZ+61) to avoid Loadavg Moire
    A bit more RAM ( 1MB more )
    Read Ahead increased to 1024kB max
    Using Neon instead of SoftVFP
    Ondemand , Conservative , smartassv2 , lulzactive , lazy and interactive tweaked
    ROW , SIO , SIOPlus , Deadline , BFQ and CFQ Scheduler tweaked
    Normal OC Steps ( upto 1400MHz )
    XZ Compression for Kernel and initramfs
    Optimized AES and SHA1 routines
    CPU Unaligned Access
    TUN enabled by default
    Block and ROW improvements
    BFQ IO Scheduler
    FIFO IO Scheduler
    ZEN IO Scheduler
    VR IO Scheduler
    SIOPlus IO Scheduler
    EXT4 patches
    Other optimizations
    Selective Live OC
    ROW Updates
    SIOPlus tweaks
    Optimized Flags
    SQLB Memory Allocator
    GPU Driver updates
    WiFi Driver updates
    RCU updates
    Disabled SAI
    Dynamic Dirty Page Writebacks
    TCP Tweaks
    ION Patches

    Click to collapse


    General Features
    Based on Linux Kernel 3.0.101 and Semaphore 3.4.0s
    397-409MB Usable RAM
    Live OC ( Upto 130% )
    Compiled with Cortex A8 Optimized Linaro GCC Toolchain

    Point to note
    Ticking BigMem will break 720p recording

    Hi ts1506,

    Good luck with your new project.
    I would like to note that you may delete (if you want) this difference from your OP:
    'ARM Coresight disabled'

    Semaphore has disabled this feature.
