YONIP Kernel

Respect!

Well, now, the most discussed thread on samdroid.net forum is Banjo's kernel, called YONIP kernel. It's for Cyanogenmod 8.3 and Spicagenmod, I'll show you how this kernel improve your phone.

NOTE: Banjo said this kernel is NOT WORKING ON ALL PHONES, BUT YOU CAN TRY IT ON YOURS.

• This kernel is an overclocked kernel, which means if you apply this kernel, your phone's processor's clock will run on 1GHz.
• It can provide better battery life.
• In Banjo's opinion the touchscreen will be sensitive.
• It makes your phone faster.

Tom3q wrote the framebuffer driver for Spica, that's why you can choose from 2 color depth, 16BPP and 24BPP.

• 16BPP: I think it's the standard color depth, you can make screenshot if you are in 16BPP
• 24BPP: Prettier colors, but you can't make screenshots.

Banjo makes his kernels with 2 schedulers. CFS and BFS. Banjo recommends that you'd better to convert your phone's filesystems to ext2/ext4. I suggest system&cache to ext2, data to ext4.(BFS is not compatible with RFS, and with the conversion the phone reaches better results in I/O operations, BFS can be maybe unstable, but responsive and fast) //I wrote about BFS in a previous post

CFS: Completely Fair Scheduler, it's the mainline Linux scheduler, you can read an article about CFS in Wikipedia. CFS is stable, and provides better battery life.

If you want to install this kernel, first make a backup from your working configuration! Before applying kernel, make a Wipe Dalvik-cache. You have to remove all the tweaks(pixiebob tweaks, ckMod ssswitch etc.)

Golden rule: Nobody is responsible if you transform your phone into a brick!

You can see the download links @samdroid.

Have a nice day! :-)
