F.A.Q's :-

1. Is this working on blah blah?
> I don't know. Do some research. Keep the disclaimer in mind.

2. OMG! My device rebooted/crashed/exploded?
> In case of bootloop, check for conflicting scripts in init.d. If problem persists, get me the logcat or last kmsg.

3. Battery drains like hell. WTF?
> Not kernel problem. It's your apps that are waking up device from deep sleep. Check the wakelocks. I don't build kernels to worsen battery life. See here for more info.

4. Signal is dropping since I flashed the kernel?
> Again. Not the kernel problem. Check if you have latest ( and proper ) baseband for your device.

5. WiFi won't work?
> Flash attached WLAN modules.

6. Is autoroot included in ramdisk ?
> No. Autoroot isn't included. Just download flash-able root binary zip from site.

7. App FC's or something crashes?
> Try reinstalling app again. Give me logcat if problem persists.

8. Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
> Do some research. Check thread, repo, commits etc.

9. Which governors/IO-schedulers to use?
> Depends on your usage. See here for more info.

10.. Version X scored higher than version Y in benchmarks. OP, you screwed your kernel!
> Deal with it.

11. I need more info on something?
> You can find all answers here

A few things:

Flashed modules and it said it was the Lupus modules for mdpi so my wifi is not working! -.-

It's just his updater script i used for ease. ( May be i am too lazy ). Modules are 4.1.B.1.13 source based. They are not working?. Make sure you have stock wifi modules. Flash my kernel modules over them. report then

Sorry, I copied the code from my other kernel thread which has dual recovery. Almost forgot. As I said, it's CWM by wedgess. Will add dual recovery in next releases.
Hey man, if you find a fix for dual recovery, do let me know I have my own cm10 kernel, but it only boots TWRP properly not CWM.
Thankyou.

Modules will work if you flash stock .587 ones first!

Will test during the day! Thanks for your work! ;)

    Latest UHD has init.d scripts:

    98tweaks
    Code:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    sleep 10;
    
    #Tweak SD readahead values
    echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
    echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb;
    
    #File system tweaks
    busybox rm -rf /data/tombstones/*;
    
    #Tweak various memory settings
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=20;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=5;
    sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=300;
    sysctl -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0;
    sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=2048;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=200;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=500;
    sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0;
    sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1;
    sysctl -w vm.overcommit_ratio=50;
    sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0;
    
    sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=1;
    sysctl -w kernel.panic=10;
    and

    99hd
    Code:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    
    sleep 40;
    hd;
    which is 40+10=50 seconds of unnecessary waiting at boot logo...

    BUT if you modify scripts like this:

    98tweaks
    Code:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    exec > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi
    
    sleep 10;
    
    #Tweak SD readahead values
    echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
    echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb;
    
    #File system tweaks
    busybox rm -rf /data/tombstones/*;
    
    #Tweak various memory settings
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=20;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=5;
    sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=300;
    sysctl -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0;
    sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=2048;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=200;
    sysctl -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=500;
    sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0;
    sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1;
    sysctl -w vm.overcommit_ratio=50;
    sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0;
    
    sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=1;
    sysctl -w kernel.panic=10;

    99hd
    Code:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    exec > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi
    
    sleep 40;
    /system/xbin/hd;

    You will not have to wait this 50 seconds at boot logo...

    Re: [KERNEL][ICS] Vengeance [ARC/S/PRO][1.32][18/02/13]

    I had planned to discontinue this kernel for MSM7x30 devices. But seeing the immense support from arc community, I may continue the kernel for anzu, ayame and iyokan. Rest have been discontinued already. There have been over 10000+ downloads of 1.32 from these 3 devices alone.
    :)

    edit: i am ready with new version. Just need some testers first to verify if it stands better than 1.32
    If you guys want CM9 supported kernel, send me last and working fxp kernel for your device

    Version 1.35 released.
    Added VDD sysfs level interface upon request. Let those voltage tweaks begin :p
    Better init.d support ( thanks to gu5t3r )
    Check changelog for more info on commits.

    PS : Modules have been divided into two sets 1. Wlan 2. Extra OTG modules ( CIFS, FUSE etc )
    Flash 1st set before 2nd set ( if you do ).
    All the best!
