Man, you're just as wacked. I'm not putting down atyoung or trying to be disrepectful. If he's got other important things going on besides working voluntarily on phone kernels, so be it, hope things are working out for him. You, also pay attention. Snipe and Agimax have been helpful with info. Not looking for your worthless info either. It's a forum and trying to get info from the helpful ones, which I've met many people with helpful info, unlike the diarrhea coming from your post. Agimax had the best reply with the info he simply posted. Sniper has been reliable too. The way it should. On forums with people asking questions all the time looking for the helpful followers who can provide useful info.

Yeah, so, you completely missed my point. My bad, didn't realize the world revolved around YOU. Next time stick to a question and not your crystal ball speculations of what may or may not be happening with a developer, in his thread. It so happens that Atyoung has NOT moved on to other things, he WILL be bringing some great things to the table AGAIN.
Your initial post could very easily have been mistaken by someone looking for information, as having some sort of merit, which it does not. Same as the rest of your self righteous putrescent grumblings. Now if you'd like to continue the off topic banter hit me up by PM or on Gtalk, I'll be more than happy to school you in proper forum etiquette. This has been more than enough wasted space in a development thread. I'm guilty as well, so choke on that your highness.

You both are funny. Seriously, if you read early pages when Sniper was assisting me I was looking for good links to the version 14 kernels. They don't work on chrome or ie for me. Get a message of connection reset by peer. I looked at his blog and those same versions produce the same message. That's fine. I made my post to sniper and anyone else that may have other links or helpful info. Wasn't disrespecting anyone. Looking for info. No one's on a high horse besides yous too. Chill out, have a good time, keep on making your creations or whatever other contributions you do, I was provided a link by agimax, that indeed works for to download the version 14 kernels from atyoung. I have to say being on the evo and countless number of forums flashing crazy like many others, the both of you have been the least helpful. What I posted may have seen like I was, I don't know taken the wrong way apparently, but I'm just looking for helpful info or other means to find what I'm looking for. I don't have any more right to find this info like you or anyone else, I don't demand anything from something that is created on one's spare time, just looking for help.

I removed my post because this isn't worth a reply.

As a little change of pace here.
I followed directions to apply this kernel but nothing happened. When I go to boot loader it just says parsing PC136IMG.zip and nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong?

yes, you flash the kernel as is from recovery, not the bootloader.

Thank you Dope, I'm really just grateful to everyone who volunteers their time to make peoples phone fun and different to use other then using stock options and programming. I've read up on some of the things you have done and more recently with atyoung as well as a dozen other developers and contributors and the time that is involved is at times I'm sure daunting. So I appreciate everyone's time and creations.

    Introducing the Mason kernel.


    This started as a project to bring sbc to the supersonic ICS aokp rom. However I decided to go ahead and move forward with moving over some of the fine work that is going on for the Nexus line and bring it over to our beloved evo4g. I want to stress that to my knowledge the things that will be included beyond what is in tiamat/CM9 proper are not very well tested on our platform.

    The overwhelming goal is to bring performance and stability improvements to the supersonic platform. The original idea, had a little less scope. I have now broadened its scope to include ICS, GB, and even Sense soon. The project will actually breed a whole line of kernels built for the supersonic with the needs of it's community in mind. Let's breathe some new life into our platform.

    Thanks to the evervolv team without which we wouldn't have ICS on the supersonic at the moment.

    Kernel Features:

    CPU Frequency governors: conservative, ondemand, ondemandX, interactive, interactiveX, smartass, smartassV2, intellidemand, SavagedZen, minmax, lulzactive, lazy, lagfree, userspace, powersave, Lionheart, brazillianwax

    I/O Schedulers: deadline (flash optimized), vr, noop, cfq, bfq, sio

    HAVS, KSM (I series), Ext2/3/4, NTFS

    Variants:

    nosbc - Standard kernel without sbc
    sbc - Smart Battery Control
    hwa - Hardware Acceleration
    fso - File synchronization off

    Note on FSO:

    I provide this without any warranty at all (not that I do with anything else). Yes, fso makes things faster, it's for the speed hungry among you, however there is the potential, however slight that you can get corrupted data on a crash. Do not run this without a proper nand, it's just a bad idea. I haven't personally had any issues, but that doesn't mean that in theory it can't happen. It's a very strong possibility however slight it might be. The price you pay for speed I suppose.

    Note on SBC:

    There are some out there who find sbc and unholy abomination. Though again I have not experienced issues personally, there are some out there that claim that it can damage your battery, particularly the lifetime of the battery. There is data to support both sides of this argument, and I'm not here to go over all that. But be warned that it may cause some battery issues, and take care that you are both advised of the risks and willing to take them for some extra juice.

    TODO:
    Code:
    * Slated for v0.15/6 sense variant. Yeah you heard me, all your kernels r belong to us.

    Side note:

    I will try my hardest to maintain both this and the rootzwiki thread as time allows. That said let's keep the discussion pleasant and on the topic of bugs and features supersonic users would like to see either quashed or provided respectively. I feel bad for slightly hijacking the aokp and other ICS threads so lets move the kernel relevant conversation here.

    Useful bug reporting:

    * Include the Rom you are running.
    * Include the kernel version you are running.
    * Include any custom settings you have changed cpu governor/io scheduler/cpufreq scale etc.
    * Include any tweak scripts you may be running.
    * Include any voltage changes you might be running.
    * Include what you expected to happen.
    * Include what really happened.
    * Include if you can reproduce the bug at will.
    * Include logcat and/or any other logging mechanisms you might have available. OS Monitor is a fine choice.
    * Include screenshots if possible/applicable.

    Be as detailed as possible. Good bug reporting is a great way to add to the community, even if you aren't a developer, this is a excellent way to give back.

    One more to be safe.

    This sounds awesome, thanks for all your work on our EVOs. Do you anticipate a release in the upcoming week? I'm not asking for any promises or ETA. Just curious how the progress is coming along.

    Sent from my PC36100 using XDA

    I'm not sure if it will be this week or not. I had some very ambitious plans for 15, but some of those features need extensive performance testing to determine if they are truly valuable on our platform. Zcache for instance, which in theory should improve performance, however I haven't built up enough running data to prove that is so. I have 22 feature branches of my main line that are in various stages of testing for things that may or may not make it into 15 at the moment. Whats in the bag currently for sure: XZ compressed kernel for faster boot time, scary governor, wheatley governor, new crc32 algorithm that uses native c code with a slice by 8 so its wicked fast compared to the lib we were using before and adds a dash of speed to everything from tcp to the filesystem, as well numerous 3.0 code ports.

    Okay can someone update me on all of the governors, I haven't really installed a new kernal since Tiamat 3.3.7 so I'm a little behind. I just want to know what everyone thinks is best for for long battery life but I don't want to sacrifice speed. On Tiamat I used either interactive or conservative depending on the ROM/what I fealt like at the time.

    Thanks
    Urge

    Well you should feel right at home. Mason is a fork of tiamat really, though it seems to move more and more a different direction every day I work on it. The ones you know aren't much different than you remember. The new ones should be covered in the various posts linked in previous posts.

    You might as well use performance. It's effectively the same thing. Lulzactive is broken and stays at max frequency. That's why atyoung isn't including it in the next version.

    Indeed this is true. I think wheatley will be the new hotness on the evo, but that's just me.
