The Midnight kernel (mngb) is a personal project aiming for "average", daily use and stability. Not benchmark performance. Nothing fancy. I really liked the Speedmod kernel while using Froyo but missed some features so 2011/07 I decided to work on this kernel which has now been completely rebuilt 2012/06 using latest Samsung sources.
Big thanks to Mahd for tenacious testing and beeing patient with me, all users, donators and developers and especially stratosk, hardcore, supercurio (Voodoo), koush (CWM), neldar (BLN) and everybody else developing Open Source software, helping or reporting.

Nice to see a new kernel dev for the i9000. Welcome!
Oh wow, something new to flash I'll just wait for some feedback, and give it a try
That was really nice of you to thank everyone that way. I can rarely see this on the forums..
Nice kernel, hope you will become big and probably a new ROM chef in the near future, who knows...
Wish you all the best.
I wish you all good! You don't need to be programmer or anyone else like that to make something big, just keep your mind open for new challenges and see what ppl says, do not give up and do not be discouraged by some of them
Here is a .tar image and a cwm .zip

Congratulation for your new kernel. more kernel choice for me.

Thank you for your kind "welcome", I'm glad to be able to give something back to XDA.
@Lukiqq: Jup, I'm not a full-time programmer but made some experiences with BASIC/Python/Bash/little bit of C/C++, even looked into Java about 10 Years ago and mainly PHP/MySQL/CSS (+ a little bit of MS SQL @work) since starting with BASIC/PASCAL almost 20 years ago (2086XT,black/yellow monitor ). I like code of all kinds but just don't have enought time to learn...
@pingpong: Thank you for the packages, just answered your PM.
thanks m8 will try this...keep up the good work.....cheeerz
No Bootanimation support??
As I'm using Speedmods' initramfs bootanimation should work as /system/media/bootanimation.zip. Never used it myself, though.
Prepared 0.1.8 with Voodoo10, 341Mb RAM and updated Patchfile (to work with -p1 ) but did a "make clean" before saving a zImage backup so this will be here tomorrow as I'm doing a recompile this night. Have made a copy using this which works on my device but I'm not sure about uploading this DD-zImage...
Edit: Recompiled and uploaded. Near midnight...
Thank you for your work @mialwe!
- 0.1.9 uploaded, includes BLN support (tested with bln pro app and Gmail).
- cleaning up first post a bit
- thinking of uploading my build script... maybe useful for someone...
mialwe keep the good work and thanks for this kernel i will stay tunned
Good to see new kernels coming up. All the best . Gonna give it a spin tonight.
Edit - Sorry didnt work out for me "Bootloops" went back to semaphore via odin.
Juwes 5.2
Good kernel, stable and fast. Looking at all day behaviour the next days.
Thanks for the good work.
Very good kernel fast stable. I love it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
@all: Glad it works for most of you
I'm thinking of tweaking conservative governor to scale up a bit faster, should give better battery as conservative steps up frequency after frequency - ondemand uses highest frequency much faster.
@DonVito2020: If you flashed via CWM - the CWM script does not include any clear-cache or clear-dalvik-cache actions (and does not erase any init.d-script btw), maybe this would have been an option to try - reboot to recovery, clear caches from there, reboot again and check if you get bootloops.
Is the CWM 2.5 version you use compatible to 3.x CWM installpacks? Like Modems etc?

How to build Semaphore kernel
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Linux is required to be able to build the kernel. We will also need a modern Linux box (preferably).
Basic Setup
First, we need to setup a directory in which we will clone the kernel and initramfs repositories. In this guide, we will setup them in /tmp but you can do it in any directory you want.
In a terminal we run:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/semaphore
cd /tmp/semaphore
Then we clone the basic kernel repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/samsung-kernel-aries
Finally we clone the initramfs repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/ics-ramdisk
OK, first step done. We got the code. Now we have to do some preparation and compile it.
Configuration
I prefer to use a mini ugly script to compile the kernel and pack it. It's located in the root of the kernel tree (/tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/sbuild.sh)
We open this file with an editor of our choice (I prefer vi) and edit:
1) The two lines with the 'make' command, changing the CROSS_COMPILE= option. We need to set the path from the cross compiler toolchain. I use the one that it's included in CM9 repository.
2) The line starting with the 'find' command, changing the kernel source directory and destination directory of the modules location. This is into the initramfs directory. In our example it's /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/files/modules
The Semaphore's kernel configuration is located in the file config_sema in the root kernel directory. So, we need to copy this file as .config:
Code:
cp config_sema .config
Then we run this command to start the Linux kernel configuration utility (again change the CROSS_COMPILE according to your toolchain directory):
Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=/kernels/semaphore_cap/android/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- ARCH=arm menuconfig
We go to 'General Setup' section and we change the 'Initramfs source files' option to /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/
We also need to change the next 2 options User ID and Group ID to whatever uid and gid we are logged in in the Linux box. In my case is 500,500. We exit and save the configuration.
Compiling
Now we are ready to build the kernel!
We just run:
Code:
./sbuild.sh
We wait few minutes (time depends on the machine) and hopefully the compilation will end.
The script will produce 2 files.
1) /tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2) /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/cwm/Semaphore_ICS_1.2.0s.zip
These are the 2 known files that we can flash via Heimdal or CWM respectively.
just flasshing
Nice.Finally.
Downloading.
w00t, nice job Semaphore
Now on ICS ^^
thanks for the hard work!
Simply flashtastic!!! I was missing you on ics...
Enviado de mi puño y letra
i get bootloop grgrgr someelse? or maybe some restart by script manager? idk testing..
Works ok.
Gps,wifi,compass,scripts.
Good job.Finally ics from stratosk.
Nice work
Will you be implementing Voodoo Colour as well?

Semaphore Script Manager application is not bundled in the kernel (not yet).
I'm on teamhacksung's CM9. I didn't test it on Onecosmic's ICS.

I really don't know. I think that the pawitp's color hacks is fine.
I just want to stabilize this first. Features from Semaphore GB version will be added one by one and if there is a need for this. Lot's of features are already included by pawitp's kernel.
Re
This is just what i was waiting for... downloading now i feel like trolling everywhere out of happiness
No prob. mate! Take your time. We all love your work & Kernel!!
I also think that it's no need for voodoo colour.
This colours looks very good.

Awesome, will try on build 15 right away - loaded and everything seems ok.
first impression is: great color and contrast! it's like I have 3d on my sgs now!
wifi ok, 3g ok (switches really fast, great), calling ok, sensors ok (for dialer), gps ok, whatsapp, gmail.
thank you very much!
The MNICS (Midnight-ICS) kernel is a personal project started JUL/2011 with the GB version because a kernel with the features I needed did not exist.
Main focus: stability and smooth experience using a modified Conservative CPU governor. Secondary: useful additions + easy to use app.
Big thanks to XDA, the community, testers, bug reporters and hardcore, chainfire, lukiqq, stratosk, zach, exitz, supercurio, koush, neldar, madrooster, pikachu01, pawtip & teamhacksung, ezekeel, renaudallard, toadlife, Tk-Glitch, krarvind, derTeufel1980, F4k and all the other devs. Everything I have learned about SGS I have learned reading XDA posts, sources or from conversation with XDA members - maybe I can give something back with this kernel.
Unique:
- modified Conservative governor for smooth experience
- kernel app for all features, no scripting needed
- nightmode toggle via kernel app (no overlay, real dark screen)

- ram: 340Mb (stock), 372Mb (CM9 version) or 388Mb (LR version) for prepared ROMs or \w standalone patch
- BLN (basic func. + missed calls via kernel app, BLN Control for advanced features)
- voodoo sound (use supercurios VoodooControl)
- touchwake, adjustable vibration intensity, slightly enhanced touch sensitivity
- init.d (/system/etc) and userinit.d (/data/local) support, script filename has to start with "S"
- APP: min. brightness, nightmode, RGB, gamma, undervolting, LED timeout, vibration intensity, missed calls/basic BLN, bootlog, help...

Thx for the great kernel, mialwe!
First Impressions:
1. fast (listening to music+playing speedx 3d+tapatalking+opening browser without any lag)
2. color settings are confusing (midnight control or galaxy s settings? dunno which one to use)
3. nice bootsplash (minimalistic&nice)
4. no didle and liveOC (you already thougt about adding this?)
To resume, this kernel is just great and I'm looking forward to seeing more features. I haven't tested bln yet, dunno if it works.
Keep up the good work!

welcome to ics best ginger kernel.
Hi,
thanks for your realy nice kernel.
I will test it.
Please tell me, have your kernel iptables for droidwall activated?
Thanks
Welcome mialwe.
Flashing over Semaphore 0.9.5b(removed all init.d stuff before as 0.7.4 does not have init.d support) on SLIM ICS 2.8 is fine no issues there, just in case anybody curios like me to try...
---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
Really nice kernel for an alpha [email protected] Good job and Thank you.
Clean, fast and smooth yet without OC and LiveOC.
Couple of early minor issue notices:
Toggle night mode: Turning on, screen goes green like night vision camera but totally blur,screen guessing needed to toggle it back.
RGB color setting: Need some explanation, I pressed reset to default and then colors were faded, after rebooting I got the ROM color back.
So far so good.
Thank you all. Edit: In MidnightControl->menu->help there is more information on all app options including colors.

- Midnight *does* support init.d script execution.
- Night mode: All this toggle does is lowering a min.brightness tunable to "1". Sounds like colors/gamma tuned too aggressive -> typical green tint on low brightness.
- What does "faded" mean? This options sets some values to the according tunables ("0") to R/G/B/gamma, no fading involved but you see the difference if you adjusted some of those before. Rebooting without the set-at-boot-toggle checked will give you ROM colors as MidnightControl will not override ROM colors in this case.

Yes, you are absolutely right here. Sadly all ICS ROMs seem to include kernel settings in their ROM option menus. I'm thinking of removing the MidnightControl color menu (but leave the night mode where it is) for the next version.
For now you can use both, Midnight color settings will override ROM color settings and stick at boot if you tick the load-at-boot option.

changelog 27.07.2012:
- hack mfc driver, to give all available mem to an application, if the requested mem is more than the max. available (maybe useful later, does not change anything right now (afaik))
- fix execution of boot-patch.sh, disabled twice execution of init.d, enabled tv-out server for all devices (i9000 already had this)
- battery: fix charging display for car dock
- increase read-ahead on moviNAND
changelog 25.07.2012 part2:
- fixed cwm backup and restore for kernels without /datadata partition
changelog 25.07.2012:
- updated recovery (no "sdcard format"-bug anymore, external sd card is named correctly)
- vibrant: hopefully fixed froyo ril
- jellybean: galaxy s settings working now
changelog 22.07.2012:
- updated kernal base to linux 3.0.36
- updated "block" to linux 3.3
- readded fiops io scheduler (kept cfq this time)
- updated cwm recovery to 6.0.1.0 (please create a new nandroid, because of possible incompatibilities between old/new recovery)
- compiled with linaro toolchain (gcc 4.7.1) and O3 compiler flags
- made uksm scan less often (save cpu time and power)
- at first boot: only delte init.d scripts created by other kernels
- increased usb write performance
- lowered ram and display voltages a little bit
- fixed some bugs related to devil settings (they should stick now after reboot, if set by one of the devil apps)
- support for scripts in /system/etc/shutdown.d (thx to Efpophis)
all scripts placed at /data/local/shutdown.d or /system/etc/shutdown.d get executed at shutdown/reboot
you can use this, to play a shutdown sound for example.
by default 00shutdown gets created, which plays a music file, when it is placed at one of these folders/places
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
/data/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

- added the possibility to change zram size (at /data/local/devil/zram_size, with valid values: 50, 75, 100 and 150 (all in mb))
- fixed the applying of user_min/max freq after reboot
- vibrant: fixed gps
- fascinate: fixed nandroid in cwm recovery
what is ksm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_SamePage_Merging_(KSM)
uksm is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage
############# most probably not working (yet)##############
i have added seperate gpu oc from jt1134's galaxy_tab (to switch between 200 and 250 mhz), but i did not get any improvements in antutu...further tests needed
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 250 mhz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 200 mhz), no reboot needed
and also have changend default screen refreshrate from 60 to 56, with the possibility to change it:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (60 hz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (56 hz)

changelog 01.05.2012:
- all changes from cm9 stock kernel (including mount points option)
- some fine tuning to deadline and sio
- Devil Idle: limiting bus/ram/gpu speed to 100 mhz for 100-800 mhz cpu freq, while screen off (automatic mode) or always (permanet), both modes automatically reduce the int voltages of the affected freq by 50 mV
- compiled with swap support
- added stratosk's smooth_ui to lulzactive governor (activated by default)
- rest oc_value to 100 while screen off, and back when screen turns on (combined with devil idle automatic, can't be turn on/off without devil idle)
- added posibility for different voltages while screen off (also bundled with devil_idle, with default settings, stock arm voltages are applied, because of live_oc set to 100)
- added the possibility to set freq limits while screen off (min and max freq)
19.04.2012
- even better fix to selective live_oc (last one (in test kernel) generated some overhead)
- fixed sampling rate of ondemand and conservative (have ported mialwe's/stratosk's sleep multipliers)
- new tunables for ondemand and conservativ
sleep multiplier and tunables:
mialwe and stratosk had the great idea, to change the sampling rate of conservative and ondemand governor while display of. for this, he introduced the sleepmultiplier (in his case factor 3). this means, if you set sampling rate to 20000, it changes to 60000 while screen off, and back, when screen on.
for ondemand and conservative:
i have made this multipliers tunable. proper values are between 1 and 5, because one could want a higher multiplier while screen off, if sampling rate is very low while screen on (higher sampling rate means, less checking for work load --> better batterie, worse performance). with this tunables you get better batterie, without making the performance worse while screen on.
two other tunables: up_threshold_min_freq and responsiveness_freq
the first one is a very low threshold while on low freq (by default 40), to make the governor scale up faster, until the responsiveness_freq is reached.
the responsiveness_freq is set to 400000 (400 mhz) by default. while the freq is below this value, up_threshold is the same as up_threshold_min_freq, and freq jumps to responsiveness_freq, with skipping the freq between the actual one and the responsiveness_freq. (conservative governor does not jump up to this step)
responsiveness_freq can be set to values between 100000 and 1400000
up_threshold_min_freq can be set to the same values as the normal up_threshold.
not tunable: while screen off, up_threshold is set to 95, no matter your other settings, to save more batterie.
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
for lulzactive:
for this governor, i did similar things, but they are not tunable till now.
when screen off:
- inc_cpu_load is set to 90, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- up_sample_time is set to 50000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- down_sample_time is set to 40000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
other changes:
- fix to touchwake from ezekeel, and another fix from stratosk
- upstream fix to compass
- building for i9000B now, too (big thanks to F4k for the hints by pn )
- removed some typos from recovery
- removed some annoying "no's" and "yes" from recovery in misc menu
- fixed wifi mode switch (pm_fast is the one with better signal)
14.04.2012:
- new b versions (only stock ram) changend to 377 mb, VC version needs the 720p fix from my ftp server. cmc version already patched
13.04.2012:
- updated wifi driver
- added the possibility to switch between wifi PM_Fast and PM_Max mode (Pm_Fast = better signal, PM_Max = better batterie, default is PM_Max)
- user interface to disable fsync (this gives more performace, at the risk of data loss on a crash, taken from ezekeel, so it should be ok ), default is off, to be safe
- fixed voodoo color kernels (these have the VC in their names)
10.04.2012:
- added vibrator intensity control (by mialwe), presets can be changend in recovery
- stock ram version now available (348 mb ram), XL (390 mb), XL_bm (402 mb)
- removed 1080 mhz freq for now
- small correction to touchwake
- small correction to selective live_oc (now the low freq really are not live_oc'ed)
05.04.2012:
- fixed bug in selective live_oc, which caused the target high not taking affect to the highest freq, if highest freq equals target high
- fixed another bug in selective live_oc, which could lead to gpu crashes due to overclocking the ram, but not the cpu freq (for low steps)
- added a switch to change between "normal" and selective live_oc
by changing the live_oc mode while using it, live_oc value is set back to 100, to prevent strange things
- added possibility to set max. freq for boot (in recovery). This freq is set until init.d is executeted (it is automatically set to 1000 at this point, to make sure there are no conflicts with other cpu settings from users)
#Already in the last version, but i forgot about it:
- deep idle fixes from stratosk (many thanks)
- added possibility to underclock by using live_oc (limit is 90 now, which means lowering all freq and bus speed by 10%, to save more batterie when really needed)
03.04.2012:
For now there are three different RAM versions:
- stock mem kernel has 379 mb ram, everything working
- "slim ics" (XL) kernel comes with 390 mb, this is breaking playback of some high resolution videos
- XL_BM is coming with 402 mb ram, but breaking 720p
(while flashing the kernel, the modded rom files are also flashed, so you don't need to flash a new rom to get 379 or 390 mb)
-added new frequency: 1080 mhz (1100 does not like live_oc)
- fixed SmartassV2 for live_oc (after changing live_oc value, you have to change the smartass values, too, but then they automatically apply to the live_oc value (although you can only select 800 mhz in nstools (for example))
- touch recovery with custom devil menu (for some reason it takes a few seconds to load the first time, missing virtual keys is a warning, because there are no virtual keys yet)
-fast charge (thx to chad0989 for this), disabled by default.
you also can use the widget from chad (to place on homescreen) to toggle the fast_charge mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...stchargewidget
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
while fast charge is activated you cannot connect as usb device
- added datafix script to init.d (this script is deactivated by deafult. to make it work, you have to creat a file named datafix and placed in /data/local/)
- reworking and cleaning many parts to get more ram, speed, and stability
05.03.2012:
- updated sio i/o scheduler to latest version
- small updates to ondemand and conservative governor from linux 3.2

05.02.2012
- added Touchwake
- added BLX
- upgraded BLN from V8 to V9 (working for missed calls, blinking or static light, configurabel by using NSTools or BLN Pro App)
- added Intellidemand governor
- added mdnie settings to voodoo color version
- readded deep idle v2 again (I think it is the best/only working one, although
- version with CFS (instead of BFS) now also available (maybe better multitasking and batterie life, but slower)
- removed BFQ I/O Scheduler
- tons of smaller fixes and improvements
30.01.2012
-revert: Voodoo Sound now to be set with DSP Manager
29.01.2012
- Linux kernel 3.1.10

- Deep Idle V2 back in
- new Cpu governors: MinMax, Lagfree, Lulzactiv
- LED V2 (you can set blinking by using nstools, also working for missed calls in most cases (sometimes it is not working for missed calls, don't know why at the moment))
- Backlight Dimmer (only LED version): used to turn led backlight of, while screen is on, after defined period of time. Deactivating it, makes your backlight stay on all the time
- I/O-less dirty throttling completely backported from kernel 3.2
- Ext4 with 3.2 patches
- Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP - by Google
- USB Host V 4
19.01.2012
- Usb Host drivers integrated
- Cm9 Color adjustment

16.01.2012:
- Updated Kernel basis to Linux 3.1.9
15.01.2012:
- fixed bug in cpu spy, caused by live_oc
- still using voodoo color for now, maybe two additional kernel versions tomorrow

i am sorry to tell you this, but cwm backups are not working, because i have forgotten to remove the /datadata partition from cwm, but this, of course, can't be mounted
Sorry, I'm confused...so the latest version 1.0.3 shouldn't work on your jb rom because it has /datadata?

hm...not what i asked first i tried to flash a kernel from the link in this thread on your rom, and it wouldn't boot, then i found the ones with /datadata now it's working fine...
Fantastic work.Really good combo cm10 and this kernel.
Great work man.
Thanks
Nice kernel, work with 0723, very smooth n fast...

I' ve problem to get the new kernel work on Slim JB V5 ?
the Devil 3.1.00 RC4 ist working good, but when i install the new kernel the i9000 ist always hangin on the devil boot screen!
when i flash back to 3.1 rc4 it works

I've got a problem when I install the kernel.
I'm on your ROM V6, and when I flash the kernel it reboot but it's going back to the recovery and say "can't mount SDCARD installation aborted" and it's bootlooping.
I've flashed back the kernel 1.0.2 and it's ok.

LowMemoryKiller management of not killable processes
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
This feature exposes four new lowmemorykiller parameters:
- donotkill_proc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_sysproc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_proc_names, is the list of process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names, is the list of user system process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
When the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
How to customize the white lists of processes to preserve from killing:
On HurtSky's Kernel the feature is enabled by default and the provided processes white lists are the following:
- donotkill_proc_names = "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,com,android.inputmethod.latin"
this means that Trebuchet Launcher,stock keyboard will be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names = "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com."
this means that the system process, the phone process will be preserved from killing
1) By using a customized init.d script (the custom value will be always restored after a reboot, if you don't format the system partition)
- Download the script named 80dnkp
- If the file has been saved with .txt extension (stock browser), rename it by removing the .txt extension
- Edit the file by setting your preferred status and processes list
- Copy the new file inside /etc/init.d
- Give the rwxr-xr-x permissions to the file (read, write, execution for owner, read and execution for group users, read and execution for others)
- Reboot
2) By directly editing the files inside /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters (note that set values will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
3) By using Terminal Emulator (note that set values will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
- Open Terminal Emulator
- Run these commands if you want to enable the feature
Code:
# To enable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To enable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run these commands if you want to disable the feature
Code:
# To disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, Trebuchet Launcher (CM default launcher) and the default keyboard to the processes white list
Code:
echo "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,android.inputmethod.latin" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc_names
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, the system process, the phone process and DSP Manager to the system processes white list
Code:
echo "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com.bel.android.dspmanager" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc_names

This features currently been disable because normal KSM react more better with current settings
Ultra ksm
UKSM is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage - ( it seems latest version of UKSM optimized for battery usage also )
In this kernel the UKSM off by default -
How to stop and re-run :
to stop uksm run:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run
for re- run:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run

Some Information about TURBO BOOST mods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37905307 < for futher information ! Please read !
This quote taken from TURBO BOOST thread ! Credit goes to TURBO BOOST DEVELOPERS
Disadvantages of a NORMAL swap file on your sdcard:
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You may NEVER unmount the sdcard or connect your phone to your computer, because you then just kill your swap file – it is the same as pulling out the Ram of your running computer!
Disadvantages of a swap partition on your sdcard a.k.a. HARD SWAP (the one that you all always swap ! ) :
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You will need a separate partition on your sdcard
You can connect the sdcard to your computer, but you cannot unmount and remove it without powering off your phone – you would kill your swap space immediately!
Disadvantages of a swap file in RAM - a.k.a. ZRAM:
This reduces the already low RAM memory
Leads to many low memory problems, like sense restarts and lags
TURBO BOOST ! PART
Advantages of 98swap_<partition> (TURBO BOOST MODS) compared to the methods above:
It uses internal memory – so it is fast!
This memory is not available to the user (/cache and /system) – so it does not decrease any space given to the user
It does not use your sdcard in any way – so feel free to unmount and remove your sdcard whenever you like – also without powering off your phone!
Disadvantages of 98swap_cache
None - you name it!

Did not boot for me too. Stuck after Samsung logo. Thank god I back up stock beta 1 kernel.
It suppose to be v2.1 for the latest right? You named it v2.2 there. Is it mistaken for the v2.2 for cm10.1?

LowMemoryKiller management of not killable processes
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
This feature exposes four new lowmemorykiller parameters:
- donotkill_proc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_sysproc, is the flag to enable / disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
- donotkill_proc_names, is the list of process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names, is the list of user system process names (comma separated) chosen by the user to be preserved from killing
When the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
How to customize the white lists of processes to preserve from killing:
On HurtSky's Kernel the feature is enabled by default and the provided processes white lists are the following:
- donotkill_proc_names = "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,com,android.inputmethod.latin"
this means that Trebuchet Launcher,stock keyboard will be preserved from killing
- donotkill_sysproc_names = "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com."
this means that the system process, the phone process will be preserved from killing
1) By using a customized init.d script (the custom value will be always restored after a reboot, if you don't format the system partition)
- Download the script named 80dnkp
- If the file has been saved with .txt extension (stock browser), rename it by removing the .txt extension
- Edit the file by setting your preferred status and processes list
- Copy the new file inside /etc/init.d
- Give the rwxr-xr-x permissions to the file (read, write, execution for owner, read and execution for group users, read and execution for others)
- Reboot
2) By directly editing the files inside /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters (note that set values will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
3) By using Terminal Emulator (note that set values will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
- Open Terminal Emulator
- Run these commands if you want to enable the feature
Code:
# To enable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To enable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 1 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run these commands if you want to disable the feature
Code:
# To disable this feature for the processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc
# To disable this feature for the system processes chosen by the user
echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, Trebuchet Launcher (CM default launcher) and the default keyboard to the processes white list
Code:
echo "com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet,android.inputmethod.latin" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_proc_names
- Run this command if you want to add, for example, the system process, the phone process and DSP Manager to the system processes white list
Code:
echo "android.process.acore,com.android.phone,com.bel.android.dspmanager" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/donotkill_sysproc_names

This features currently been disable because normal KSM react more better with current settings
Ultra ksm
UKSM is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage - ( it seems latest version of UKSM optimized for battery usage also )
In this kernel the UKSM off by default -
How to stop and re-run :

Some Information about TURBO BOOST mods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37905307 < for futher information ! Please read !
This quote taken from TURBO BOOST thread ! Credit goes to TURBO BOOST DEVELOPERS
Disadvantages of a NORMAL swap file on your sdcard:
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You may NEVER unmount the sdcard or connect your phone to your computer, because you then just kill your swap file – it is the same as pulling out the Ram of your running computer!
Disadvantages of a swap partition on your sdcard a.k.a. HARD SWAP (the one that you all always swap ! ) :
A sdcard is always slower than internal memory
You will need a separate partition on your sdcard
You can connect the sdcard to your computer, but you cannot unmount and remove it without powering off your phone – you would kill your swap space immediately!
Disadvantages of a swap file in RAM - a.k.a. ZRAM:
This reduces the already low RAM memory
Leads to many low memory problems, like sense restarts and lags
TURBO BOOST ! PART
Advantages of 98swap_<partition> (TURBO BOOST MODS) compared to the methods above:
It uses internal memory – so it is fast!
This memory is not available to the user (/cache and /system) – so it does not decrease any space given to the user
It does not use your sdcard in any way – so feel free to unmount and remove your sdcard whenever you like – also without powering off your phone!
Disadvantages of 98swap_cache
None - you name it!
