No voodoo colours? It was stable for me....

Just flashed 04-02-2012 on latest CM9 nightly.
You use the CM9 kernel source now, didn't you?

Voodoo colors wont go in until the green flashes go away. Supercurio said that voodoo color is obsolete. That said someone in the teamhacksung built an alternative to voodoo color I might try it to see how it goes. What need fixing tho is the auto brightness. I'll contact the LUX app dev so he can explain me how to fix it.

Nope it's not based on cm9 source. I started the kernel from aosp source and cherry picked whatever features I liked... mostly from ezekeel glados and official kernel.org. I also cherry pick some of my old commit from GB kernel.

What does supercurio means by obsolete though? I can clearly see the difference between my settings, the ones posted in the application and themes forum, are better in terms of colour production. And on ultimate ics, the green flash doesn't seemed to be as rampant.

Anyway that's just my opinion. Looking forward to the new implementation of screen colour hacking

Sorry to sound like i'm ranting and bit. It's not your fault Steve. Nice work on the kernel

He tweeted something about this a while ago .. don't quite remember but until I find a replacement that does not produce green artefacts on the screen I'll pass. I looks to me that voodoo color was a proof of concept that was started but never 100% finished.

Indeed!
supercurio also said on his twitter

"voodoo color always has been a crappy hack, meant to be temporary. I don't recommend using it and work on something better."

 

[hispeedworm]

Yup he did tweet on twitter that voodoo was obsolete but reddv1 of lucid kernel is making his own iteration of colors . Lucid nexus white series .... I don't know if he is sharing the source code for that .... but I tried that kernel and the colors on it are crisp like voodoo minus the green Flickr..... maybe you can ask him for the source code and incorporate it in your kernel too

I looked at Reddv1 source and what he did is removed the color adjusment that where added to the kernel.

The factory calibration of the AMOLED panel targets a 8500k color scheme but the guys at Google adjusted the panel to provide a 6500k (D65) color scheme.

So basically, stock ICS is more yellowish and lucid white is more blueish... I'll try it, and if I like the colors I'll put it in

What I'd really like to fix tho is the stupid auto-brightness...

How about adding this governor - lulzactive - to SG kernel?

https://github.com/tegrak/lulz-kernel_gt-i9100/tree/master/kernel/drivers/cpufreq

and SIO scheduler

https://github.com/nubecoder/nubernel-2.6.35/commit/d0e570f0f25859a5ccf70b4949dff5400a3f3182#L0R57

overview

Lulz github is a mess... I'll try to figure out what relates to the governor but still Lazy is probably better.

For Simple IO, last time I tried to add it to GB it actually did compile and I did bother trying to fix it.. I'll try one more time for ICS

FYI, Lazy is supposed to be the default governor for my kernel but somehow ICS overwrite the default kernel governor to ondemand at each boot... bad ICS! You guys should set your governor to Lazy. Better battery life and better speed!

sweeeet ...... looking forward to updates to your kernel

OP Updated!

SG-NS-ICS_06012012.zip
- Remove readahead because it was causing slow down in the UI
- Adjusted OnDemand governor to make it snappier
- Fix to cpufreq to make it more statble
- Added Simple IO scheduler
- Made colors 8500K instead of 6500K
** Note: This kernel is a lot faster than previous ones

Kernel boots with ondemand governor and cfq io schduler but you should try Simple IO (sio). It's fast and I'm loving it!

Thanks for the remarkable update
Brilliant changelog!

question.. I read the kernel 3.2 is out. why do the devs still use 3.0.xx instead of 3.1.xx (eugene's kernel) or higher?

Because 3.0.8 is what google use as base kernel. If you update to 3.1 or 3.2 it will be thougher to upgrade the kernel if google push an update. And the benefits are almost null. The reason im running 3.0.15 is that 3.0.8 to 3.0.15 is either security updates or bug fixes. Those are always good.

great update..its lot smoother than before
why u limit the max freq to 110?

waiting patiently for more tweaks

bravo dev

Just Flashed
First of all, yellowish screen removed
and SIO nice

100% cosmetic "battery tweak" applied?
