[KERNEL][GPL]franco.Kernel | 4.0.3 | OC | TUN | INIT.D | COLORS+ [12/01/12]

9th January - nightly #11
* Patched final 3.0.16
* Fixed screen_on/off functions - no more unlock lag or strange behaviors
* Hotplug cpu1 is implemented somewhere else:
echo 1 > /sys/module/dsscomp/parameters/hotplug_enabled
cpu1 does not shut down on screen_off: echo 0 > /sys/module/dsscomp/parameters/hotplug_enabled
* Remove internet tweaks from the ramdisk - fix try on some users loss of data
* Ext4 patches from 3.2 to reduce CPU consumption and a little extra juice
* Added a few OMAP patches
* Some other minor tweaks and optimizations
franco.Kernel updater app:
* Fixed and optimized a lot of code
* Finally fixed the init.d scripts for the cpu frequencies and the hotplug_enabled functionality - it should work perfectly now without any issues

7th January - nightly #10
* Added Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP - by Google - from 3.2 Kernel
* I/O-less dirty throttling - backport from 3.2
* Reduce filesystem writeback from page reclaim - backport from 3.2
* Add the new FIOPS I/O scheduler - from Shaohua Li
* USB speed transfer increase - from Linaro
* Few fixes on the screen_on/off functions
* CFS tunables tweaked for a better experience
* Some other minor tweaks and optimizations
franco.Kernel updater app:
* CPU frequency init.d script fixed - it will work on reboot now
* Typos fixed
* Kernel filename is now correctly displayed - for example: 3.0.16-rc1-franco.Kernel-nightly-10.zip

5th January - nightly #9.2
* Screen_on function cleaned up - hoping for the supposed extra 1 or 2 secs of screen on to be fixed
* Removed some debug from the config


4th January - nightly #9
* Internet tweaks added directly to the ramdisk - more speeeed
* Writeback settings tweaked a bit
* Omap screen_on and screen_off functions completely re-writen
* During screen_on frequency is ramped up to the maximum frequency and stays there for 5secs. This will get rid of the lag when unlocking the screen and makes sure the device wakes up propely
* Also added cpu1 suspended when screen_off and when screen_on it comes back to life. This works no matter what governor is choosen
* Added toggle option of the cpu1 suspend during screen_off:
cpu1 shuts down on screen_off: echo 1 > /sys/module/omap2plus_cpufreq/parameters/hotplug_enabled
cpu1 does not shut down on screen_off: echo 0 > /sys/module/omap2plus_cpufreq/parameters/hotplug_enabled
* Colors tweaked again
* Patch 3.0.15
* Patch 3.0.16-rc1

1st January - nightly #8
* Added 1,35ghz slot by popular demand
* Boots with 700mhz/1200mhz by default
* Tweaked once again Conservative values and it's now in a pretty good shape
* A bunch of reverts from shit older patches that are not needed at all - less is more
* More ramdisk tweaks
* It's now available for purchase for the symbolic price of 1€ a small tool to ease up the update check and downloading process of this kernel: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.franco.kernel
* UV interface is disabled - don't bother ask me 50 times for this. It has been proved that it creates a huge stall if a user undervolts too much. This kernel is already undervolted with this settings: 925000, 1103000, 1217000, 1280000 - values suggested by faux on his thread on rootzwiki and they seem to play along pretty well
* Dynamic Writeback from 3.1 is back too

30th December - nightly #7.1
* Bye CIFS - from my testing it was causing horrible battery life while idle
* USB now being recognizable in the computer fixed too

29th December - nightly #7
* Battery drain during idle is now finally fixed - got reports of 1% drain for 7h idle, and some other awesome results
* Ramdisk is now being delivered to be able to give certain tweaks to improve smoothness
* TUN and CIFS are now built in the kernel - no more modules that don't load
* Some minor tweaks and optimizations

27th December - nightly #6
* Add back UV interface
* 3.2-rc7 RCUtree backport from imoseyon
* When the screen is powered up the device ramps to the max frequency for a brief time
* Fixed compiling warnings all over the place
* Ondemand is default again
* Ondemand and interactive tunable parameters polished again
* New sdcard binary - to work with GTA3 you have to delete this directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3 and download gta3 data again
* More under the hood config changes
* More attempts to increase battery life
* A lot of reverts of previous patches to ensure maximum stability

25th December - nightly #5
* Revert "Add dynamic writeback feature from 3.1"
* Kernel more lean with more useless shit disabled
* Hotplug governor enabled again and made default - this governor disables cpu1 while screen is off - testing to see if it helps with battery life
* Updated to 3.0.14
* Tweaked the default colors - whites are more white, and colors are more vibrant
* Decrease frequency transitions latency

22th December - nightly #4
* Removed a bunch of debug that slows down the system (logcat and dmesg/printk are still there, and I don't plan to remove them)
* Ondemand made default again
* Tuned Ondemand values for a more smooth experience
* Removed obsolete code inside Ondemand governor file - if we don't need it why is it there?
* Removed some config options
* More minor tweaks and optimizations for a better system stability

21th December - nightly #3
* Slightly undervolt by default in the source since UV interface is removed because it wasn't working
* Compiled with Fast No Hz (http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RCU_FAST_NO_HZ.html)
* Change back to interactive as default - ondemand's ramping was slow and lagged the phone sometimes
* Tweaked interactive values
* Use arch dependent cpu power functions
* Removed screen off max frequency cap
* Some more changes and battery power updates


20th December - nightly #2
* Added native init.d support so you can run your favorite scripts on boot
* Added IO tweak to make the phone faster
* Changed the default governor to Ondemand
* Tuned Ondemand as where it should be for maximum smoothness

* Tune some more kernel parameters
* Changed back to Tree RCU for stability and performance purposes
* TUN and CIFS modules added to /system/modules

19th December
* Completely rebased to the latest Google kernel source
* ONLY for ICS 4.0.3 - doesn't work with old versions and if you come crying your phone doesn't boot if you're not using 4.0.3 I will laugh at you
* Bug free as far I can see
* All the previous kernel smoothness
* jRCU as default and optimized for the best phone performance/battery
* Conservative a little tweaked again and still the default
* Config tweaked and useless options like Memory Compaction and Cleancache are disabled - less is more (copyright Morfic)
* No OC/UV yet - this is just a nightly
* Using a kernel injector so it works in every 4.0.3 regardless of the boot.img of your rom
* A ton of patches that were in my previous versions are here and some more
* Compatible with both GSM and LTE in the same kernel package
* No CIFS and TUN yet, coming next as this is just a nightly


12th December
* init.d support added to the .zip package - now you can run scripts on boot
* IO remount tweak added - now you'll have more IO speed - easily confirmed with a benchmark
* Using an older and more stable toolchain to rule out possible bugs or errors coming for this
* Fixed the BUG() from dmesg - thanks Greg for telling me about the bug

* Some other minor tweaks and optimization's


11th December
* Around 10/15 Power Management patches from the Linux Mainline
* USB HOST disabled as it was the cause of battery drain - more research when I have the device

10th December
* Added stronger WIFI signal
* Screenoff frequency cap is removed - no need for it and it causes audio glitches
* Patched to 3.0.13

* Slightly undervolted
* Add dynamic writeback feature from 3.1
* block: strict rq_affinity
* vmscan patched up with some fixes
* arm: Allow CPU-supported unaligned accesses
* Graphical glitch should be now fixed


7th December
* UV interface added thanks to coolbho
* Fixed ext4 flags

* Got rid of a lot of debug shit - only left logcat and prinkt (dmesg)


4th December
* Volume fix added

2nd December
- CFS Autogroup tweaking
- CFS tweaks
- CRC32 library completely updated - it's a very important library
- Second core min/max frequency bug fixed - now both cores run at the desire speeds. Before the second core sometimes forgot it's speed and was asyncronous to the first core
