Root [Kernel][Linaro][O/C][GPL][30 MAY] A-kernel S1.1

Android Enthusiast
GPL compliant on Github: Galaxy Reverb Kernel Source

At this time you can't change the clock, that's why there is a 1.4ghz and 1.8ghz version at the moment.
Google the CPU governors to see which might be best for you. They basically just change how the CPU ramps the frequency up and down for better performance and or better performance, with minimal to no battery loss.

No need to wipe anything.
A-Kernel S1.1 JB

ICS
Ani-Kernel s1.0 - Reverb

Old: V2 - MB3 update - 1.8 Ghz Max - Stable

Google Drive- Please get familiar with it: click the "File" tab in the upper left and click "Download"
My shared directory on Google Drive- will be putting all Rush related stuff here. (for the Galaxy Rush)
About ROW
- Enabled Swap support
- Removed some debug stuff (will add slight performance increase)

CPU Govenours:
Removed all; more tuned CPU gov's to come in the future.

- Changed default I/O Scheduler to ROW by Qualcomm - made specifically for mobile devices
I/O Schedulers added:
+ ROW - default in version 1.5+
- Removed SIO & VR now that we have ROW

TO DO
- Add SIO I/O Scheduler back into the kernel
- Ability to adjust CPU frequency's (disable DVFS- may cause slight stability issues with Wi-Fi- no idea when)
- Backport patches from newer Kernel versions - fixes, updates, etc.

Enable ZRAM Script:
This app will enable init.d support on the stock ROM; the custom/port ROMs already have it enabled.
If your on stock ROM download this app: Universal init.d

If your using another ROM skip and follow below steps:
1. Download this script 90zram
2. Copy it to /etc/init.d and you have to set all permissions to allow.
3. Open terminal and type:
su
cd /etc/init.d
./90zram

Type "free" and make sure the last line under 'swap' has numbers other then 0 and it's enabled.
If you don't copy the script to /etc/init.d ZRAM will not be re-enabled next time you reboot.

And your done! Gives some nice extra smoothness and faster loading for apps but you will notice this most if you do a lot of multitasking on your phone. Don't go over 64MB; it won't kill your phone (probably..) but it will slow down from to much memory being reserved and taken for ZRAM.
ZRAM basically compresses 10% of device RAM for swap space; the device think's that the swap/cache is going to disk, but ZRAM actually puts the swap/cache much faster memory until the reserved amount is full, then swaps to disk as normal.

Credit goes to downthemachine for the source and Shabbypenguin and the OUDHS team for all the great help and advice, AND, for pointing me to downthemachine's source, also Slayer72 for connecting with me, and finally Christophorus for making the CWM flashable Zip's and being awesome :-).
Also thanks to dobbs69 for his time and testing a lot of builds!
I used the guide here to get started with unpacking, compiling, and re-packing the kernel
[Fedora] kernel compile guide

Without them this would not of been possible.

---You know the drill; I am not responsible for any damage done to your device. Do not blame me if you fry you're CPU, just saying.---

Enjoy.
 
Awesome kernel. Very noticeable performance boost! Almost 10 points higher lindpack score!

Flashed okay but how do I configure the governor? Currently running stock. Cannot seem to locate it in settings.
 
I should probably go a head and do the other Reverb/Rush mimic and make a 'vital2refresh' (thats the board name) build for whatever mimic phone that is on another carrier.
 
Might be SD card read/write. Try getting a class 10, 16GB FOR $20 if you can. I've seen them at Walmart. Some guy on the Rush benchmark thread got 50 MBps write.... On a 32GB class 10 sdcard.
 
I finally got the MB3 update pushed out to my Rush, which I was waiting on so I could test before I built the new kernel for you guys.

So anyway the new kernel build based off MB3 will be up tonight guys.
 
Having issue downloading v2. It opens the zip file and does not provide download of the zip. Suggestions?

Hmm, seems like this upload got corrupted too then.

My home internet connection (brighthouse/Time Warner) sucks and drops packets, but I have an AT&T line that I uploaded with that works normally but something went wrong.

I'll fix it when I get home after work in a few hours.

Nope no luck. Trying to download on my phone. Have tried 3 different browsers and all the same. Might be a setting on my end but not sure what. It shows the contents but no way to download the actual file.
