I'm not interested in vanilla kernel-power and, if I'm thinking about the same patch as you do, the patch won't work for kernel-bfs (as BFS doesn't support cgroups). I even doubt whether the patch will help kernel-power because of the way Nokia configured Maemo.

There might be an updated h-e-n out this month (as Joerg was hinting at). Hopefully it's only gui/frontend stuff. If extra kernel mods are needed, then work might have to be redone ...

All the features from kernel-power are also to be found in kernel-bfs (which include those you've named with the exception of the injection drivers, which aren't part of kernel-power either). F-cam drivers can be found on the garage page of kernel-bfs as well.

As of now, kernel-bfs is a niche project; those who actively want to use it most likely will use it, but the vast majority sticks to the vanilla kernel(-power).

Please read up on Con Kolivas. Also, use whatever you think suits you the best :)

5% improvement in pulseaudio isn't that impressive. also it's called stock kernel not vanilla. but it sound interesting the brain **** scheduler :p.

If you can do better, you're welcome :)

dude, what is the difference between the wonder-patch and bfs? and about con he is a dr. med. he is not even a dr. math or dr. informatic. it is his hobby!

I'm not a kernel expert, so I don't know :p (do you?)

I just think that is not so nice to ctiticise other's work only because you wanted something else. If you want wonder-patch so much, I think you should try to apply it to power kernel by yourself instead of keep asking...

yes i want it very much also bfs cannot hurt so plz patch kernel-power with it. it would be awesome. also there is compcache a nice patch too. I want it too.

please stop asking, if you read how it works it turns out that it's impossible to put on our phone. we don't have multiple ttys. you can get the same effect by modifying the cgroups on the stock kernel. go play with that instead.

here, look at this fail: http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ad.php?t=65933

What's your point? The maintainer of the linux kernel scheduler (Ingo Molnar) used the ideas (albeit not the code) from his earlier work to write the CFS scheduler for the kernel. And it seemed to me the reasons that Con's actual work wasn't accepted into the kernel were political more than anything else. Just because he didn't study it at Uni doesn't mean he is clueless in this field.

My point is I'm new to this device I have already ported my tune-up script from my router and other linux box and I have just compiled read-ahead so that I can modify this parameter of my device and it is feeling great and I believe it is more respnsive but I met here a lot of ppl who think of themself higher then the rest but when I asked they don't answer to me or doesn't take me serious. Also with my new read-ahead it is feeling great and I think I don't need to move swapspace to microsd!!

Yeah, I get you're trying to promote what you have done, but half your posts come across like spam, barely related and sometimes not at all to the topic being discussed. And that is hardly a valid reason to denigrate Con Kolivas's work, and imply he doesn't really know what he is doing.

P.S. Your sig is overly large and comes across as obnoxious, can you try to tidy it and make it smaller.
