SiyahKernel s3-v1.9.1
based on GT-I9300_JB_Opensource_Update9
updated mali driver to support latest CM-10.1
some ramfs changes/fixes/tweaks
tested only on Samsung 4.1.2 latest official ROM and CM-10.1 nightly (30/3/2013). Samsung 4.2 leaks are not supported. Also CM10 support is dropped as I don’t want to keep 3 different mali drivers in the kernel.
v1.9.0->v1.9.1: fixed hw acceleration problems (samsung roms only). enabled zram (500MB with swappiness of 100).

Workaround for CRT animation problem (at the bottom of the screen tab in STweaks)
fixed the problem of copying large files that some users experience
removed custom modifications from pegasusq governor and changed the tweaked values a little

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta6
Jetzt muss auch der Recovery Flash nicht mehr Extra installiert werden..
added backup/restore to 2ndROM utils. Make sure you backup your 2ndROM before you flash v1.7rc1 because there will be some radical changes in dual booting and you will have to restore your 2ndROM backup after flashing it.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta5
Jetzt muss auch der Recovery Flash nicht mehr Extra installiert werden..
added (again) gpu boost on touch. set touch boos default back to 800MHz. updated bcmdhd driver to the one in korean s3 driver. mali refactorings (new_* interfaces removed from /sys/module/mali/parameters. this will fix malistatus problem).

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta4
Jetzt muss auch der Recovery Flash nicht mehr Extra installiert werden..
replace the recovery image with the new one which was forgotten in the previous release. fix permissions on 2ndROM should be working now. Made a change in wifi offload filtering to deny muticast packets but allow multicast DNS packets.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta3
Jetzt muss auch der Recovery Flash nicht mehr Extra installiert werden..
Recovery is merged with the kernel, no more separate recovery. Flash back your favorite recovery and use STweaks to boot into 2ndROM-utils (which is another CWM-based recovery built into the kernel). Added “no boot logo” option to STweaks. Added “Reboot into 2ndROM Utils”, “Reboot into First ROM” and “Reboot into Second ROM” options. Added “Fix 2ndROM permissions” and “Wipe 2ndROM cache” (wipes only cache partition, not data) to 2ndROM-utils. Fixed some bugs in 2ndROM-utils. Added “Black Crush Fix” by AndreiLux. lcd freq is decreased just a bit to save a little power.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta2
Jetzt muss auch der Recovery Flash nicht mehr Extra installiert werden..
v1.7b1 -> v1.7b2: new recovery features: installing zips to secondrom, wipe 2ndROM data/cache & dalvik, fix 2ndROM permissions, exfat support. Fixed system partition cannot be mounted read/write. The recovery will be flashed together with the kernel.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta1
Vor diesem Kernel, sollte der neue Recovery-i9300-Siyah geflasht werden...

• Dual-booting (supports only JB ROMs: Samsung JB and CM10)
  
• fixed a UMP related bug in v1.6.8 that was causing lags for CM10 users
  
• removed CPU locking when GPU freq >=440MHz
  
• alternate touch recovery for secondrom related operations
  
• Some 2ndROM features are missing. Implemented features are: Clone 1stROM
  
to 2ndROM, Clone 2ndROM to 1stROM, Swap ROMs, Delete 2ndROM.

TODO:

• implement missing 2ndROM features
  
• make a CWM-flashable 2ndROM-utils app
  
• implement more accurate space requirement checks
  

Some recovery details:

• CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4
  
• default backup format is set to tar (you can set it to dedupe)
  
• In kernel recovery options: delete stweaks defaults or remove init.d
  
scripts

• In dual booting menu: swapping, cloning and other 2ndROM related
  
options

• swipe gestures support (up/down to choose menu items and right/left
  
to select/back)

• doubletap to select (needs a little more tuning though)
  
• uses Samsung JB stock kernel recovery as the base
  

Some details about dual-booting:

• 2ndROM system partition will be kept in /sdcard/.secondrom/system.img.
  
You will need 1.5GB space for the 2ndROM system partition in your
internal sdcard.

• both data partitions in 1stROM and 2ndROM will use the same space.
  
Make sure you have enough space to hold both system and data when you
clone 1stROM to 2ndROM.

• hidden partition is used as 2ndROM cache partition.
  
• Flashing a new ROM may flash another kernel and you will not be
  
able to boot into 2ndROM anymore. But you will not lose it unless you
delete “.secondrom” folder in your internal sdcard. So, flashing back
SiyahKernel will let you boot into 2ndROM again.

• See this post for more details. It is for S2 but still useful to
  
understand what dualbooting is about.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.6.8
v1.6.7->v1.6.8: fixed mdnie sharpness tweaks causing strange artifacts on boot animation. removed process priority tweaks. removed some unnecessary patches. Enabled GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS in default profile (either enable yourself if you are an existing user or reset stweaks if you want it to be enabled). You will see siyahkernel logo as I made this release while working on dual booting and did not spend any time to remove those, create “.nobootlogo” file in your internal sdcard if you find it too disturbing. Fixed setcpu showing 1704 when overclocked to 1700.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.6.7
v1.6.6i -> v1.6.7: removed last remaining module and linked it into the kernel (mdnie_mods). Made all mdnie variables configurable via misc device (all in /sys/class/misc/mdnie). Hardcore’s sharpness tweaks are converted into a script to use the new interface as an example.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.6.6i
v1.6.5 -> v1.6.6: changed TMU thresholds a little. fixed freq scaling stuck at some frequencies. removed cfs tweaks from stweaks. some experimental process priority modifications to have better UI experience. most of the custom modules are now linked into the kernel and not loaded as modules. lulzactiveq tweaks.

v1.6.6 -> v1.6.6i: one line fix for freq being stuck at 1704MHz. changed process thresholds a little.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.6.5
v1.6.3 -> v1.6.4: new CPU steps (1700MHz & 1800MHz) (thanks to AndreiLux as I used his kernel and multipliers while making the changes). fixed mali module related problems. fixed lockup problem while charging the device when it is off. reverted most of the changes back to v1.5 state which were removed during the lag-hunting process (discrete wakelocks, gestures, voltages…etc).

v1.6.4 -> v1.6.5 re-adjusted regulator constraints which were lost because of the removed module. fixed touch boost setting. enabled swap.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.6.3

v1.6.2 -> v1.6.3: change packet filter settings to block multicast (thanks to Entropy512). fixed mali UMP mistakes which might be causing problems on Samsung ROMs. Reverted mali cpu lock levels to stock.

v1.6.3 -> v1.6.4: new CPU steps (1700MHz & 1800MHz) (thanks to AndreiLux as I used his kernel and multipliers while making the changes). fixed mali module related problems. fixed lockup problem while charging the device when it is off. reverted most of the changes back to v1.5 state which were removed during the lag-hunting process (discrete wakelocks, gestures, voltages…etc).

v1.6.4 -> v1.6.5 re-adjusted regulator constraints which were lost because of the removed module. fixed touch boost setting. enabled swap.

v1.6.5 -> v1.6.6: changed TMU thresholds a little. fixed freq scaling stuck at some frequencies. removed cfs tweaks from stweaks. some experimental process priority modifications to have better UI experience. most of the custom modules are now linked into the kernel and not loaded as modules. lulzactiveq tweaks.

v1.6.6 -> v1.6.6i: one line fix for freq being stuck at 1704MHz. changed process thresholds a little.

v1.6.6i -> v1.6.7: removed last remaining module and linked it into the kernel (mdnie_mods). Made all mdnie variables configurable via misc device (all in /sys/class/misc/mdnie). Hardcore’s sharpness tweaks are converted into a script to use the new interface as an example.

v1.6.7->v1.6.8: fixed mdnie sharpness tweaks causing strange artifacts on boot animation. removed process priority tweaks. removed some unnecessary patches. Enabled GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS in default profile (either enable yourself if you are an existing user or reset stweaks if you want it to be enabled). You will see siyahkernel logo as I made this release while working on dual booting and did not spend any time to remove those, create “.nobootlogo” file in your internal sdcard if you find it too disturbing. Fixed setcpu showing 1704 when overclocked to 1700.

SiyahKernel S3-v1.7beta1
Vor diesem Kernel, sollte der neue Recovery-i9300-Siyah geflasht werden...

• Dual-booting (supports only JB ROMs: Samsung JB and CM10)
  
• fixed a UMP related bug in v1.6.8 that was causing lags for CM10 users
  
• removed CPU locking when GPU freq >=440MHz
  
• alternate touch recovery for secondrom related operations
  
• Some 2ndROM features are missing. Implemented features are: Clone 1stROM
  
to 2ndROM, Clone 2ndROM to 1stROM, Swap ROMs, Delete 2ndROM.

TODO:

• implement missing 2ndROM features
  
• make a CWM-flashable 2ndROM-utils app
  
• implement more accurate space requirement checks
  

Some recovery details:

• CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4
  
• default backup format is set to tar (you can set it to dedupe)
  
• In kernel recovery options: delete stweaks defaults or remove init.d
  
scripts

• In dual booting menu: swapping, cloning and other 2ndROM related
  
options

• swipe gestures support (up/down to choose menu items and right/left
  
to select/back)

• doubletap to select (needs a little more tuning though)
  
• uses Samsung JB stock kernel recovery as the base
  

Some details about dual-booting:

• 2ndROM system partition will be kept in /sdcard/.secondrom/system.img.
  
You will need 1.5GB space for the 2ndROM system partition in your
internal sdcard.

• both data partitions in 1stROM and 2ndROM will use the same space.
  
Make sure you have enough space to hold both system and data when you
clone 1stROM to 2ndROM.

• hidden partition is used as 2ndROM cache partition.
  
• Flashing a new ROM may flash another kernel and you will not be
  
able to boot into 2ndROM anymore. But you will not lose it unless you
delete “.secondrom” folder in your internal sdcard. So, flashing back
SiyahKernel will let you boot into 2ndROM again.

• See this post for more details. It is for S2 but still useful to
  
understand what dualbooting is about.

v1.7b1 -> v1.7b2: new recovery features: installing zips to secondrom, wipe 2ndROM data/cache & dalvik, fix 2ndROM permissions, exfat support. Fixed system partition cannot be mounted read/write. The recovery will be flashed together with the kernel.

v1.7b2 -> v1.7b3: Recovery is merged with the kernel, no more separate recovery. Flash back your favorite recovery and use STweaks to boot into 2ndROM-utils (which is another CWM-based recovery built into the kernel). Added “no boot logo” option to STweaks. Added “Reboot into 2ndROM Utils”, “Reboot into First ROM” and “Reboot into Second ROM” options. Added “Fix 2ndROM permissions” and “Wipe 2ndROM cache” (wipes only cache partition, not data) to 2ndROM-utils. Fixed some bugs in 2ndROM-utils. Added “Black Crush Fix” by AndreiLux. lcd freq is decreased just a bit to save a little power.

v1.7.3->v1.7.4: replace the recovery image with the new one which was forgotten in the previous release. fix permissions on 2ndROM should be working now. Made a change in wifi offload filtering to deny muticast packets but allow multicast DNS packets.

v1.7b4 -> v1.7b5: added (again) gpu boost on touch. set touch boos default back to 800MHz. updated bcmdhd driver to the one in korean s3 driver. mali refactorings (new_* interfaces removed from /sys/module/mali/parameters. this will fix malistatus problem).

v1.7b5 -> v1.7b6: added backup/restore to 2ndROM utils. Make sure you backup your 2ndROM before you flash v1.7rc1 because there will be some radical changes in dual booting and you will have to restore your 2ndROM backup after flashing it.

v1.7b6 -> v1.7rc1: car dock support. reverted TMU modifications. some fixes for backup/restore for 2ndROM and internal/external confusion is resolved. default I/O scheduler is set to deadline. default gpu boost is set to disabled. Added this to ramfs (thanks to Oranav@XDA) to fix EasyUMS compatiblity in cm10.

v1.7rc2 -> v1.7rc3: reverted cyanogenmod mdnie scenario commit. reverted wireless driver and added cm10′s wireless driver as a separate module.

v1.7rc1 -> v1.7rc2: new STweaks (500% faster startup, retouched UI ), applied wifi changes in CM10 repo to fix wifi tethering problem. Based on update6 sources. added discrete wakelock stats and gestures (both by Tungstwenty) back. dns_resolver and md4 modules are linked into the kernel, so loading cifs will be enough to use smb shares. single image for kernel and recovery, if you flash it to boot partition it is a kernel, if you flash it to recovery it is a CWM-based custom recovery (hijack-recovery will be available in STweaks to flash a custom recovery).
