Hello guys. Those of you, who have been monitoring ray's dev section, know, that there is such a kernel for GB, as "pure emerald' or "aire's" kernel. But its problem is that it's for GB :D So i decided to do this kernel for ICS. I'm from russia and 4pda, and on our forum we don't like many "svistoperdelkas", which means that we don't like to have many useless (and sometimes not stable) features.

So, you can understand now, why there are no many features in my kernel which you can find in sirkay's kernel, for example. The advantage of such a kernel is that there is no any trash in it, only main things.

Features:
  • Clean ramdisk
  • Removed Fota
  • ext2, ext3, ext4, vfat, ntfs support
  • USB OTG support
  • Init.d support
  • Linaro
  • DooMKernel recovery (it's the best, IMHO)
  • Added smartass2 governor (a very battery friendly one)
  • Swap, ZRam
  • 2way call recording (uses CallRecoder by skvalex)

And now smth really new (for my kernel at least). Now YOU choose what OC to use. I've got 3 versions of this kernel.
1) 1.4 OC + uv (very battery friendly)
2) 1.4 OC no uv (for those ones, where uv causes random reboots) (not so battery friendly)
3) 1.6 OC + vdd. (not battery friendly at all, only for performance)

Download - link

One more thing. You can either believe it or not. But still. My HDD is dying. First 4GB of it are already covered with bad blocks. Also, the 10th GB is "bad". These bad blocks are "hardware". My linux is installed somewhere at 40th gb, but i think it won't take very long untill it's dead too. The first version of my kernel was downloaded for 260 times. Not so much as on 4pda (2000+ :D), but still quite a lot. If every person who have downloaded it donated 1$ for me - i could buy a new HDD. So, if you are not indifferent to me and my HDD, please, donate to me :) thanks in advance :)

Features:
  • OC (aka overclock) up to 1.4 gHz
  • UV aka undervolt
  • DooMKernel recovery (it's the best, IMHO)
  • Added smartass2 governor (a very battery friendly one)
  • Swap, ZRam
  • 2way call recording (uses CallRecoder by skvalex)

Thats all :) A superlight kernel, as you can see :) Hope, that some of you share our (4pda guys') ideals in kernel features. Good luck!

BTW, if you want to support my kernel (i don't believe in that :D), you can donate to me :) thanks in advance :)
how do you define "svistoperdelkas" in kernel? debugging enabled in defconfig? what features my kernel have that yours dont?

wow wow, i didn't want to hurt you :)
OC up to 1.6, many governors, I\O shedulers and everything like that :)

Calm,my friends,i think that you have two different approach in kernel compiling,vdsirotkin's one is good for battery,while sirkay's one is more"experimental" and good for performance,no-one is better than another:simply they are different..:beer::beer::beer:

whats wrong with oc to 1.6?? my ray is stable at 1.6 so thats fine for me, nobody forces u to oc, same for governors and shedulers, not a good thing to point at another devs work and telling thats bad mine better:rolleyes:

and arcatarc im not sure that the "simple" kernel is more battery frindle or more stable, will test during the weekand

even if it's stable, not a very great speed advantage does not worth battery drain.

im not mad, just my curiosity to know how do you define "trash". if that so, then me too dont like "svistoperdelkas". i always made 2 version, one for users (with features they've requested) and one for me (with only smartassv2 and intellidemand gov, freq max 806mhz, dont UV, didnt use zram, disabled debugging, disabled unused modules).
