[KERNEL][CM7/MIUI/CM9/AOKP] ArindamKernel [with Backlight Fix + Power Efficiency]

---

Hi folks,

I present to you ArindamKernel-CM9.

* Lots of CPU Governors + IO Schedulers (Default: Conservative + SIO)

* CPU Frequency: 120 Mhz - 1.2 Ghz (Default: 300 Mhz - 1 Ghz)

* Enabled OMAP Power Management features (sleep_while_idle, off_mode, voltage_off_while_idle etc.)

* Backlight Fix

* Sync Bug Fix by XDA_BAM

This Kernel is for all i9003s on CM9/MIUI v4/AOKP regardless of the backlight issue and will give you better battery savings than stock CM9 kernel.

Flash using recovery. Kernel version in "About Phone" should read #6. Test and provide feedback

FOR CM7/MIUI: ArindamKernel_CM7_v7 (DO NOT USE! BUGGY! NEW VERSION COMING!)

FOR CM9/MIUI v4/AOKP: ArindamKernel-CM9-v6

NOTES:
* Flash it using CWM Recovery (Turn off Signature verification).
* Flash over a clean CM7/MIUI/CM9/AOKP.
* Please remove any backlight killer apps you might have installed.
* Please do not mirror the files.

THANKS:
* Vurrut & Dhiru for their Kernel sources.
* The i9003 devs/ex-devs and the community.

Hi folks,

After a lot of work (and some sleepless nights ), I'm happy to announce that the infamous backlight issue has finally been nailed.

It seems that the backlight issue was being caused due to a small issue in the ramdisk.

In the stock samsung kernels, the debugfs is also mounted on /debug in addition to /d and /sys/kernel/debug.

Adding a few lines to the init.latona.rc solves the backlight issue. Something must have been pointing to /debug to turn off the backlight, but didn't find it.

@All AOSP kernel devs, please add the following to your init.latona.rc in the respective stages:

on early-init
mkdir /debug
mount debugfs /sys/kernel/debug /sys/kernel/debug

on fs
mount debugfs debugfs /debug

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check a stock GB ramdisk for reference.

Also mounting debugfs on /debug has another advantage. If you look at the init.latona.rc you'll find :

    # Enabling sleep in idle path
    write /debug/pm_debug/sleep_while_idle 1

    # Enabling Voltage OFF in idle path
    write /debug/pm_debug/voltage_off_while_idle 1

    # Enabling OFF mode
    write /debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode 1

    # Enabling Smartreflex
    write /debug/pm_debug/smartreflex/sr_mpu/autocomp 1 
    write /debug/pm_debug/smartreflex/sr_core/autocomp 1

The values were not being set earlier. Now there should be better battery life.

Long Live the i9003!!!

Good
