********** This is DamianGTO Steam kernel **********
This is the only working steam kernel for froyo 2.2.1.
With this you get a recovery that has touchscreen and all tool you need for your phone.
You also get a good kernel thats fast and very close to stock kernel.
I also made this tool(Damian tweak) to make things a bit easier.
There is a Steam Rom also now. I made it to make it easier for all.
I also have a new kernel that has a simpler recovery, but all script is working.
So look at the DamianGTO Ultimate kernel.
This is what you get with this kernel:
- Full (multi-)touchscreen interface in the recovery.
- Ext2, Ext4, Jfs and rfs file system auto-detection support
- On-line help system
- A primitive File Manager
- An even more primitive console
- Crypto
- Configure options for Steam Kernel
- Afterburner post-flash utility
- 32 bit display support
- Backup/Restore
- Root (installs busybox 1.18.1 and superuser)
- Almost everything CWM had (supports both sdcards, even for usb storage mode, efs backup support, etc.)
- Afterburner
- Theme support with afterburner
- 350MB RAM
- Optimized kernel tweaks
- Alter minfree strict settings
- Deadline schedueler (Optimized)
- Tiny RCU( less memory footprint)
- lowmemorykiller patch
- Support for bootanimation.zip
- Made from froyo 2.2.1 source code.
- Initramfs from JS3 kernel
- No logging after booting the phone.
- Voodoo sound V4
This is a Beta version and it is not 100% stable.
Have always a backup before you use it and when you use it, so you don't loose your data if something unexpected happens.
ROOT:
If you want root you need to install busybox and superuser.
You also must convert your System to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
Lagfix:
You can convert all partition you want to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
I do use EXT2 only right now and its working very good.
Jfs has a bug if you use it on system. you loose all your sound.
This works best for me and its fast, but its up to you what you want to use.
Don't use Ext4 on the Cache if you need all 30MB for downloading from market.
Ext4 will take 4MB for its journal.
Bootanimation:
Put your bootanimation.zip in /data/local folder and it will use that next time the phone boot up.
You must also change it in recovery to use Android boot animation.
If you don't the boot animination will not work and the phone will be black until it has started up.
Theme:
You must change the script in the theme.zip file.
Look in the afterburner section how the script shall be.
You only need to change the updater-script to update-script and make the change thats needed.
I have put in Ext4 and Jfs support in the kernel. People ask to much about it and I dont think its fair for me not to use it when this is the only steam kernel on froyo 2.2.1 that works.
I still think ext2 is a better system for the phone and use it on the Data partition without any problem.
I also used Tiny RCU( less memory footprint) and lowmemorykiller patch to make the kernel a bit better.
**Update **
New kernel again (1k).
This time I did move it to 600HZ and optimized the cpu use.
It should be faster and smother then 1J, but not has as much battery drain then Speed_kernel.
I hope this is right settings and it will not drain more battery then stock.
You dont need afterburner to install themes.
But you still need to change the script to an update-script.
Then you can use the zip option in the recovery.
Afterburner:
Download the theme you want.
Download afterburner.zip( attached last in this post).
Open the zip file and put your theme zip in the catch folder and remove the other file.
Edit the afterburner.conf.
Change the TEST with the name of your theme and what your theme zip file is named.
---[ID:theme
---[NAME:Install TEST Theme
---[HELP:This will install TEST to your phone. Beware! You can only switch back to a previous theme if you have them in a afterburner file.
extract theme
install_package CACHE:TEST.zip
If your theme has updater-script and update-binary then they don't work.
To make them work you need to use update-script and remove both of the files.
In this new file you write where you want the file to be copied.
If you don't know how this script file works then ask and you will get help.
You can also put as many them zip file in the afterburner file you want.
Just copy all folders and rename the Theme folder to a different name and copy the text in afterburner.conf. and write the new folder name in the text you just put in. If you don't know how then ask and i will help you.
I will put some theme up thats already fixed later on.
If you have a theme that you want med to fix just give me a pm.
So try this Steam kernel and tell what you think. If you find any bug then tell me also.

Way to go.
i can use this with jpy 2.2.1?
I am going to test this!
Edit:
I flashed with a stock JP7 and then Damian's Steam Kernel afterwards.
Everything is working flawless, no problems at all even after two hours extensive using.
Quadrant shows a 1213 which is normal on JP7.
Later I am going to try with Lagfix enabled and other ROMs.
I like the Steam recovery, somehow strange, but kewl and modern ;-)
Kernel seems to be more responsive than the stock kernel!
ok, I flashed my fon with Nitr8's insanity 0.3.2 based on Android 2.2.1.
After that (without even booting it) I flashed with Damian's Steam Kernel.
Everything went flashless, Systems comes up fast - BUT:
The Baseband is NOT recognized from the Steam Kernel. There we still ned to fix, but everything else is working well.
Responsiveness is very good. I am very happy with it so far as it is looking promising.
Using the Quadrant Score gives me just 1180. This is really not enough.
Nevertheless it feels very responsive and smooth ??
Feelig (especially in Recovery Mode and other things like that) very dodgy and often throwing errors out on console makes me not worrying as it is still alpha.
Why is this kernel using 300Hz ? next I need to try some optimizations though.
Edit:
after 2 reboots suddenly the baseband is correctly recognized ??
so I can confirm now it works sufficent to be tested on JPY 2.2.1
Seems to work okey.
This kernel base is the same that the latest z4mod kernel I did.
So they should work the same after you booted up the phone.
The steam recovery is fun, but its need more work to be safe.
**Damiangto steam kernel, 346MB, 300HZ **
*** UPDATE **
I have fixed the root issues.
It should work, but if you get any problem just tell me
I did update the kernel file on the first post.
So download it if you use the first kernel.

The kernel is stable, but the recovery is still alpha and i must test that more and hope for an update if the steam engine.
But if you have a place for kernels thats not stable then you can use it.
I know many want a steam kernel and im suppriced that none have done any yet on jpx source that works.

Okay Damian.. Just jumped in with both feet into this Kernel..
Looks nice.. I will continue testing over the weekend,,
Well until I reflash, but the install was super easy, and it installed with no problems.. Looks nice and easy to use..
So far so good.
Installed this kernel under Darky's latest 8.0 ROM. Working fine so far!
I'm going to do some testing with all the settings today, keep you all informed.

Made a new thread for the update.zip versions of the LagFix since i have had people asking me to do that so it doesn't get cluttered up together with RyanZA's fix in his thread.
Only one file included... Will overwrite old root version.
Testet on firmware: (Did a fresh reflash every time)
I9000:
I9000XWJG5 (Eclair - Europe)
I9000XWJM1 (Eclair - Europe)
I9000XWJM5 (Eclair - Europe) (Thanks Peaster111)
I9000XXJP2 (Froyo - Europe)
I9000JPJG8 (Eclair - Africa)
Captivate: (Thanks to Zilch25 for testing)
I897UCJH2
I897UCJH3
Instructions:
(Note that i recommend that you do a fresh reflash through ODIN.)
1. Download the update.zip of your choice and rename it to update.zip.
2. Place it on your internal sdcard.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Hold down Vol Up+Power button+Home Button for a couple of seconds until u see the galaxy logo .
5. Use the up and down buttons to get to update.zip.
6. Press menu button on update.zip to select it.
7. After install, the phone restarts.
8. Go to the newly installed 'SL4A' application from the app list, open it and choose either LagFix_Ext2.sh or LagFix_Ext4.sh to install the fix.
9. The script should run takes around 2-4 mins before it reboots.
10. First reboot after applying script will take some time as it's moving data around and mounting folders.
Regarding Step 4: What is written is for GT-I9000 version.
For Captivate and Vibrant as other people with that phone.
For Captivate people that are trying this on I897UCFJ6 please read the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7939738&postcount=177
Notes:
The current version works on Froyo BUT you can only use the ext2 option as the current kernels in Froyo doesn't support ext4.
Known Bugs:
Got no idea if people still will have problems with changing fonts with ext2 since it works for me.

Hey, would you like me to test this on JP3??
Thread
is it possible to undo this lag fix? what scores in quadrant are we expecting with this?
All lag is gone with this or is there some left as I encounter in ryan's? tnks in advance for the hard work
Hi
Great tool
if i'll replace files in the zip will it still work?
(like replacing busybox with version 1.18 and replacing apn-conf with one who has Israeli carriers or adding fonts library for hebrew fonts)

There is a script included to remove the lagfix. From test with stock kernel quadrant score is excepted to be around 2100-2200 with ext2 and 1800-1900 with ext4.
From all the testing we have been doing on this release when fixing bugs there haven't really been that much lag... you might see small lag when opening an application for the first time or when installing an app since we are using a different method this time where we don't move the application's apk's after it's installed, but personally i haven't seen this yet.

Hmm no idea tbh... You might be able to open the zip, replace the files and close it again without losing the signature that it's signed with, but this is something that i haven't tried yet so don't know if it will work.
thanks for the answer.. one more question if you don't mind answering.. what would you advise ext2 or ext4? which provide better performance despite of the score? thank you

I would recommend ext4 since it have journaling, which means there is a smaller chance on losing data if your phone lose power by pulling the battery or if the battery reach 0%.
Other people would say ext2 since ext4 might reduce the lifetime on the NAND since it has journaling
I have only tested the ext4 myself pretty much while i have had others to test both ext2 and ext4. Also this is what Zilch25 has posted about ext2 and ext4 on the captivate forum:
Is EXT2 for me?
If you want your Quadrant scores to be bloated beyond belief and don't care if your data spontaneously combusts (Results may vary). Alternatively if you're worried about your NAND wear leveling not being able to handle the strain of EXT4 journaling.
Okay EXT2 is scary, how about EXT4?
You can't afford for your things to get corrupted? Weirdo. Real world performance between EXT4 and EXT2 is barely noticeable if at all, for the everyman this is probably your best bet.

i think u can replace or delete files as u like.
i replaced, delted or added files every time before i flashed a new ROM, like HACKECLAIR or SamSet.
Works well.
applying ext4 gives me the stopped unexpectedly google error
Yeah I can second that... after a full wipe SL4A is giving me FC's now too =P
Just wanted to add:
EXT2 may be less safe than EXT4, but to-date, there has been no reports of any corrupt or lost data using the EXT2 fixes. This is over a pretty huge sample over a fairly long period. Not to say there are no problems with EXT2, but there has not been any impact to anyone for using EXT2 as yet.
Other than that, awesome job Tayu! Looks great!
yep, i get the force close for either script from sla4
OK ill reupload with the old version of sl4a then.
Im still not sure wether i should go for Ryan's one-click .apk fix or this one.
Anyone tested this one on I9000XXJM2? wich is stock firmware for me.

OneClickLagFixV2PLUS inside the app is currently in RELEASE status. It has been tested on a fairly enormous number of devices without issue.
This is an APK (Normal Android App) that will install an EXT2 lag fix for you.
The APK itself can support a number of different lag fixes. It currently has the old OCLF V1 fix, which uses symlinks, and it now also has a new V2 fix which uses bind mounts.
This is in a new thead, as the old thread is very very long, and this is now version 2.
New features of the OCLF2+ lagfix vs OCLF1+
- Bind mounts are faster and require less O/S overhead than symlinks, making this fix smoother in everyday use.
- The bind mount allows for Android to report the correct free space available.
- If something goes wrong at boot, and the bind mount does not initialize, you will boot up to a copy of your data from before the lagfix was applied. This makes V2 safer than V1. (copying /system/bin/playlogosnow onto /system/bin/playlogos1 will effectively restore your device to how it was before you applied the lagfix. There is also an undo option, which will copy all of your changed data back to RFS before restoring.)
- As a bonus, an option to set the wifi screen off timeout is included.
How to use this:
Copy over the APK file onto your phone, and run/install it as normal using 'My Files'. There will be a 'One Click Lag Fix' app installed. Run that, and select the option you want!
The app will automatically kill all running tasks, and enable flight mode. You should probably not use the device while the lag fix is running. If you accidentally hit back or home by mistake, re-enter the app and re-select the lag fix. It should still be running.
Known issues in 2.0.0
Some devices with heavy carrier customization cannot install EXT2 Tools. Fix should be in the next version, if possible.
On Froyo (Android 2.2) this lag fix will refuse to install if the apps2sd feature is in use. The error you will see if Apps2SD is in use on installation will be that the loopback cannot be mounted.
Workaround: In order to install the lagfix on froyo, you will need to set each app that is on the external SD back to regular. Once the lagfix is installed, you can move apps back to the SD.
Fix should be included in the next version, if possible.
If you use up more space inside the EXT2 than is available outside the EXT2, you will have to remove apps/delete data until you have enough space to copy your data back when you want to uninstall. To help avoid this, don't set the space bar all the way on the far right.

I'll have a 2.0.1 up within a few minutes with the fix. Sorry! I need a QA department!
Good work!
Do we need to uninstall APK v1 before using this APK?
I guess yes, but you never know.

Is this the app version of "voodoo" fix only with ext2 (the one you started testing earlier in different topic) or its old virtual file method?
Hmm, can't find the lagfix
Thx for readding it

You don't need to uninstall APK v1 first. It will overwrite it.
V1 lagfix will need to be uninstalled first, but the uninstall can be done by either V1 or V2 APKs.

Re-Introduce Orange Glacier 2.0.0
The reason I created this ROM is NOT TO COMPETE with anyone else, it is mainly for myself. I wanted a light weight ROM that's STABLE and FAST but I also wanted to try something slightly different.
I WON'T BE Updating this ROM unless something is Seriously WRONG with it...
(I WON'T BE taking FEATURE REQUESTS and such, most can be added by yourself from various mods found in the Theme and Apps sub forum )
So here it is: Orange Glacier ?!?!?!?
Why the name:
Because ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.5+) for Gingerbread is colored Orange for EXT 4 partitions and since this ROM uses EXT 4 File System (FS) as its primary FS, I decided to name it this way.
So what is in this Orange Glacier?
1. Completely rebuilt from Stock Image
2. Uses exclusively EXT 4 FS
3. Moved all optional Apps to /data/app partition for easy uninstall (including most Google Apps)
4. Rooted, /system set to RW by default
5. Deodexed, Zip aligned all /system/apps and framework files using ROM kitchen from fellow XDA member.
6. Dalvik memory boosted from default 24MB to 36MB
7. Few CFS tweaks
I want to Thank the following:
TeamSilence for inspiring me to start it all,
Pack for the awesome battery mods,
dsixda for the easy to use ROM kitchen (highly recommended to anyone interested in cooking their own ROM, it CAN'T be easier than what he provided)

There's nothing special about this ROM.. It's mainly stock with the tweaks I mentioned in the OP...
stock is good for my battery i need battery more than fancy animations and all this gingerbread stuff
Sweet! Downloading now. Thanks Faux!
BTW, are there any known bugs/issues Faux?
Everything you have done is so amazing, so everything you do, we would pay special attention~~Tky Faux!!
nothing wrong basically itsstock with a few additions like battery mod and lil visuals here and there and speed up alot i dont feel no lag at all everything works idk bout ffc on qik cause my girl dont have but evrything is good to go
Well, this ROM gives me the best data speeds i have ever had. Unfortunately, every time that i reboot, it erases all of my screens. not sure why and OP says no support for this ROM. So i guess i will flash something else. It pains me to have to give up the data speeds.

He actually stated no support unless something serious is wrong. That seems pretty serious if happening to others as well. I would love to load a "de-bloatwared" stock image with good speed and full functionality. I can't wait to hear more feedback on this one.
RA
just when I thought I was done with froyo forever. thanks faux, i feel OBLIGATED to give this a run.
Welcome to the ROM side of life Faux.
awesome!
Very excited to see faux grow as a dev I support faux's work 100% and cant wait to see future projects. CHEERS ---Team

ROM Base by Dungphp RUU Desire HD 3.06.405.1, 3.12.405.1 - With sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 Tweakers Edition by Visentinel With STABLE DATA2SD by Sibere
****Pay attention to the install procedure****
Reason for ROM
All tweaked out, and virtually unlimited space thanks to siberes DATA2SD made for Desire roms. ZRAM by Dorimanx and Kernel 2.8 by Dorimanx. Dungphp's sense 3 rom is the best sense rom in town and then i came along and made it even better
Tweaks Feature List
Tweaked IO
- NOOP IO Scheduler set to defualt
- 512 IO Cache
-You can change the above with system tuner set at boot with init.d
Tweaked Ram Management
- Latest Legendary Dorimanx's ZRAM Script
- Automatically mounts mmcblk0p3 for sd-based swap
Stripped Sense 3, just the awesome Sense UI
- Sense 3 Stripped of all useless HTC stock apps + libs (Basically Everything)
- Stripped all downloadable GAPPS
- Launcher Pro is Default, There is no Rosie (Doesn't work after stripping HTC Apps) Install any launcher you prefer
All of Dungphp's rom features...
Working:
- Phone, Sound, Camera, Camcorder, GPS, Data, Wifi, bluetooth ...
- Mount, USB Disk, Gallery, 720p videos, Flash with video, sound streaming ...
Bugs:
- Graphical Glitches - Dont try to fix it, aint as bad as anyone thinks... you can live with it ! - or try and flash a .35 kernel, but performance goes down... is it worth it ?
- Sense Customization settings closes without launching the customization app
INSTALL PROCEDURE
MAGLDR partition sizes - Use Last 24mb NAND - 5/330/10
Install the rom as normal with CWM
Reboot and wait for the rom to finish first boot and complete the HTC wizard, wait a couple of minutes at the launcherpro desktop, you may config wifi and some settings but DO NOT add any accounts to accounts and sync.
Reboot
Flash the Data2SD in CWM
Reboot
Install Superuser from the market
I had to strip "everything" I could to get this rom to boot with enough NAND data space to function before rebooting again to install data2sd. I had 22mb data space left on my first boot.
Enjoy
Download - You Need Both
Download the Rom
Download the Data2SD
Screenshots
Attached to thread.
Introducing the...
FutureLog
17 - dec
Fix the "Customize" in settings. One of the HTC Apps was responsible for that
Maybe a Sense 3.5 release but there isn't much difference between 3 and 3.5 for the purposes of this ROM, also I could not shrink a sense 3.5 rom enough for first boot so..
A. I need time to experiment with more stripping ideas
B. Learn how to integrate Siberes Data2SD
C. Figure out why removing the A2SD+ from the sense 3.5 runny roms released here completely breaks them.

seems a great rom be cooked!
kill the rosie.apk and take out the htc screen is a good idea to make the speed up for performance , i did that for my test build ... it's fast and faster.

when i opened the thread i also nervous and especially
that is my first thread.
but be relaxed, i think this will be a stable and cool rom!
tank's bro,downloading now
Cool, you would be the first person other than me to use this rom
let me know how it goes asap, i want to be sure 330m system works, 315 worked for me but as you can see i have under 5mb left.
After you flash go to advanced and report errors, mount sdcard and check the cwm log and make sure all the minzips worked, to ensure you didint run out of system partition space.
And remember to enable use last 24 nand in magldr under services.

So your thinking this could be fixed in a .32 kernel if someone could figure out why the .35 kernel fixes it by finding the missing part ?
I am simply hoping soon Dorimanx might dev a .35 kernel with his performance modifications, I think he just needs time.
Just an update on this rom, the latest zram script by Dorimanx is clashing with this roms oom settings, I am going to work on tweaking it. I will post an updated zram script for this ROM once I am satisfied with the settings.
-Update
2nd post has CWM flash zip with a better zram script.
Dorimanx Kernel 2.8 had a Bluetooth Bug, attached to 2nd post is updated 2.9 kernel.
can't test now, but thanks anyway for a new sense work for Hd2!
I suggest to update kernel to 2.9 in order to fix bt bug
I will test this rom next week

yes, that is what i want to say, I think that should has possible be fix. but if someday DM decide to coding .35 ... well, I thought we put it away temporary and try our best for cooking rom first, and if possible then we could try to fix and coding kernel together. because kernel builder not to many but have lot of chefs, so i thought maybe we should join to kernel part to find out the bugs.

It's a good idea but atleast for me I know nothing of kernels, I can't even figure out how to compile a kernel lol, I have tried.
I will ask dorimanx if he is willing to assist in this tho, I will offer him my full support to test.

If anyone has any sod issues just let me know il make an update to stop loading sd based swap. Usually sd swap is the reason for it.
Posted from my tweaked DHD.
First of all let me thank all you member of this newborn community which is the Galaxy W's! Without you guys there would be no point in releasing this anyway.
First off credits:
Arco68 for helping me guiding me in this odyssey that is making Android builds and teaching me how the updater-script thing works and for allowing me to test some stuff which really helped me release this. Also for his custom Ancora kernel
knzo for helping me get started with Android and giving me the first tips that helped me want to learn more and do more. Also for his build.prop tweaks which are pretty handy
qzem for being one of the motivators behind the community and how got us the RZR Recovery as well as getting me Arco's kernel when my computer was being a slut.
dsixda for his awesome kitchen in which I cooked this ROM.
zeppelinrox for his funtastic V6 Supercharger script
Now what does this ROM have?
It is based on the Samsung Stock 2.3.6 ROM (latest EU ROM) but has been modded for better performance.
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- Rooted
- Busybox'd
- Has task killer tweaks
- /data/app functionality
- Custom Kernel by Arco68
- Roboto Font from Android 4.0 (ICS)
**NOT SO SMALL (xD) AND (POSSIBLY) MOST STABLE RELEASE YET**
The only things left from the TouchWiz UI are the Launcher and the Social Hub (because I really like it. The Hub that is. Launcher sucks balls.) apart from things tied to the framework like Phone, Contacts and Messaging.
In the instruction at this time (time of V3 release) I'll leave also instructions to integrate V6 Supercharger by zeppelinrox which should make the phone much more fun to use
A OC Version of the ROM is coming in the next few days aswell, as soon as I make sure it is stable.
Without further ado here's the link:
Rom: http://www.mediafire.com/?xnw2raw1daeeny4
OC ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?rbq3s215iwce39h

Instructions for V6 Supercharger
(1) Download this file and put in somewhere in your memory card
(2) Go to the Market and download "Script Manager"
(3) Open Script Manager and go to Config and choose "Browse as Root"
(4) Browse to where the script is and choose it
(5) Select only the ROOT symbol and then RUN
(6) First choose option 2 and when asked again choose option 6 (if you feel like taking a chance, choose option MEGA RAM 2) and V6 will install.
(7) After you are done with installing browse to /data/ in the memory of the phone, a file called 99SuperCharger.sh will be there
(8) Choose it, select run at boot
(9) Reboot and you should be done, enjoy.
For SuperCharger updates check HERE
AnTuTu Score w/o V6 Supercharger: 3750

AnTuTu Score w/ OC and Supercharger (option 6): 40xx
(If you're updating from V1 or V2, I advise you to backup your apps and do a full wipe)
NOTE: IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VIDEO, JUST INSTALL A VIDEO PLAYER AND IT WILL WORK FINE. I RECOMMEND MX VIDEO PLAYER.
F.A.Q.
(1) Will this ROM work on the Exhibit 2 4G?
A: No idea. Ask the devs for the Exhibit 2. The hardware is quite similar but some things do differ.
(2) Is this CM7?
A: No, it is not. I'll get on that when I can.
(3) What are the advantages of this ROM over stock?
A: It is rooted and much faster. Try it out yourself.
(4) What are the surprises you were talking about?
A: Unfortunately they couldn't be released at the same time as this ROM, so you'll just have to wait.
(5) Will you update this further?
A: As of V3, I dunno. I pretty much done everything I had to do to make it work as powerfully as possible.
(6) Is this overclockable?
A: It is as of V3, download the OC Rom.

I don't see anything against that. Give it to me and I'll put it on the 1st post
KP, a small question.
Now that the phone reads the external sd as the internal memory, I can finally see some use for the 16gb micro sd I was given for Xmas.
But I do want to keep all the data I already have on the one I was using up to now, so if I transfer the whole card on my PC and then on the other (bigger) card and finally put it in the phone, will I have all my data or will I be missing something because they are hidden Android system files?
I wanna sleep now it is 4am 'ere but because of this.....Thanks to All for BullDozing......
