Hi all, I am back with a very stable and powerful kernel from Ninphetamine old stuff and Siyah's enhancements (+ some NEAK ideas).
All the credits are for those developers (@gokhanmoral, @simone201, @entropy512, @hacre, ...), I am still learning and this is the only purpose of my efforts on Ikki kernel.
In this forum, I am only publishing stable version of Ikki.
International version has been tested a lot.
If someone wish an ATT or NTT, I can produce it. I did with success in the past few weeks.
Ikki is ONLY for All Gingerbread's ROM
(If someone need an AOSP version, I can build it easily as I did previously)
I am now working on ICS (thanks to @gokhanmoral and @myfluxi) but I will produce soon another kernel (called Shun Andromeda).
FEATURES
Auto-Rooting
CWM touch Recovery with gesture support (5.5.0.4 from Siyah 2.6.14)
Custom boot animation support
Supports SetCPU (OC upto 1600MHz, UC downto 100MHz)
User customizable frequency steps. You can edit "freq_table" and use 25MHz as the lowest step and 1696MHz as the highest. You have 8 steps (it is fixed) but the frequencies can be set (from siyah thanks to gokhanmoral)
Supports undervolting (UV between 800 mV and 1500 mV)
Supports voltage control via SetCPU (thanks to netarchy, ninpo, hacre)
Stock voltages as default
Only Conservative (default), Ondemand (from siyah thanks to gokhanmoral), lulzactiveV2 governors.
Compiler GCC 4.6.3 with optimization (-Ofast) and this is not a myth
Touchscreen fix (thanks to vitalij)
Increased touchscreen sensitivity
GPU clock (thanks to netarchy), voltage and scaling thresholds control interface.
I/O, scheduler, hotplug and vm tweaks
automatic battery calibration. (removed. thanks to Entropy512. we do not need battery calibration for SGS2)
Available I/O schedulers: noop, CFQ, BFQV3r2, SIO (default)
Available CPU governors: see this thread for the list of available governors and modules (thanks to droidphile)
/system/etc/init.d startup scripts support
Automatic backup of efs partition. You will have the files in your sdcard as well as /data/.ikki directory. copy them to a safe location in case you may need them later.
BLN (thanks to creams), liblights is autoinstalled if the existing one doesn't support BLN
supports advanced touch tune driver. thanks to vitalij Link. the control app from Web, from Mobile. Thanks to tegrak for the driver patch file download
2nd core application support (thanks to tegrak)
Automounting of NTFS volumes for USB sticks (ntfs on external card is not supported). although your rom says "clear storage", just check /mnt/usb folder. ntfs drives will be automatically mounted in read-only mode.
XZ compression for the kernel.
Lower brightness levels for low-light conditions to save battery.
Brightness behaviour modification via setting min_bl, min_gamma and max_gamma values. you can control the lowest and hightest levels used in autobrightness.
Native BLN support for CM7 based roms.
Three GPU stepping (160-267-300) instead of two
optimized and configurable hotplug thresholds and rates.
Voodoo louder app support (thanks to supercurio)
Current Widget support while charging the device.
ExTweaks (uci.sh) support. (Thanks to xan and AndreiLux) ( https://market.android.com/details?i...n.extweaks.app )

Glad to see another kernel here, even if it is for GB
bgn9000: i would really like to see your sources, any link? I am just curious....
PS: the first post looks kinda copy/pasted from siyah 2.x lol
Glad to follow your work
EDIT : Siyah is my master
EDIT2 : updated post 1 with git url for sources
A must have on Android 2.3.x!
I hope GS2Team will work on I.C.S. soon

Many thanks
And the ICS kernel's name will be Shun Andromeda
glad to see another kernel which supports ExTweaks (uci.sh) interface.
the conservative is lag, i will try other CPU governors...
Ondemand is the one developed by @gokhanmoral, you can use it.
I have no lag with conservative even with 100-800 Mhz range (in normal usage) but it could happen on different devices.

Looks like he reverted out the conservative tuning patches. As a result, minimum polling interval will be 100ms, which is absurdly long.
Tip to bgn9000: Try to keep your patches small. That makes it easier to figure out when you broke something and revert just that little bit.
https://github.com/Entropy512/kernel_galaxys2_ics/commit/e9af0fbadbb5465ea6cd6a00eca9ef5b48cecf78
I would love to see some support for my beloved I777 sgs2 for att. I will donate for your time as well. ICS preferrably when avail? Thanks!!
On this for a couple of days already and it's quite smooth...conservative and noop makes the best combo for me.
Also -75mv UV and i have no issues,no lags, freezes or something related to that.
Using my S2 only for internet & games, so i can say heavy usage is the word for it...
I got the longest battery life with this kernel : played 4 1/2 hrs of Real Footbal 2012 before i got the battery warning.No other kernel mathced that.
Using it with HyperDroid v7 and Go Launcher Ex.
Ahah finally back . Sorry Bgn for the partnership, I haven't the time to continue my rom on GB, so when your kernel will be released for ICS, we will re-make the partnership .

For sure, I will move to ICS
Shun Andromeda. will be my hero
No lag with LWP and conservative, maybe smoother than siyah or cash wipe did that effect
Great, thanks
When ( approximatly ) your ICS version will be ready? I will finish my ICS rom today or tomorrow, so must I wait?

Sorry you need to deliver with another kernel (Siyah and NEAK are fine enough to start with ICS) As I said in post 1, I am delivering here only stable release never beta... I am working with DamianGTO and GalaxyS2.fr.
EDIT : (When) : should be two weeks

The maximum frequency depends on your device. Mine can stand up to 806MHz.
On the other hand you can easily make the kernel report 4GHz and actually run at 600MHz
Hehe... I'll try then... Alfs has maximum fraquency that can be selected as 768.. and yours? 806... interesting...
@nAa, this kernel should work with any ROM, or we should loose wifi until miniCM7 is ported to X8 devices? Thks in advance
wooooow happpie
is this work well ?
Great, i looking for that.
1] When i use this kernel with GingerDX everything is working ? Somebody try ?
2] What is max stable cpu freq ?
currently testing
nice boot screen
Edit1: moving from alfs kernel to this one stuck at boot screen had to full wipe and reinstall the Rom "if you got error 0 while installing toggle script asserts enable then disable and try again"
Edit2: still stuck at boot screen gonna flash stock SE then flash it again will update you soon
Edit3: doesn't work on GC8.2 Rom

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN RETIRED | THIS IS FOR ANDROID: 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7
Developer: Gokhanmoral | Donate | Website | Original ThreadDownload: SiyahKernel v2.6.14 | ZIP | TARExTweaks - The Kernel Tweaker
2.6.14 (Latest):
Preempt_rcu
Xz compression (to reduce bw on the servers. other than that, don’t believe anybody telling you that it is faster)
New touch recovery (the one in my ICS repack) with gestures
GPU staycount implemented (this is the main reason of this release. this was droidphile’s request and I could not say no to him )
Disabled autogroup (samsung ICS kernel doesn’t use it neither)
ARM_ERRATA_754322 (once again, ICS has it)
Reverted workqueue implementation to old one
Some cleanup of redundant and non-necessary code
Reverted BFQ changes which were causing lags and lockups (thanks to Entropy512. I used the version in his repository. it was the easiest way )
Added “reboot into download mode” in advanced menu of CWM recovery and also added power-off back in. I had no time to remove dual-booting options. instead, I put “not implemented” message. they are ready but I am having a tiny problem while prompting user to choose the rom. you’ll have it in ICS, I hope.
Some fixes and corrections in extweaks interface (thanks to Entropy512 for some of them)
Initialization of led buttons to off (thanks to myfluxi)
Enabled cpu alignment (thanks to codeaurora)
Some other tweaks and “small changes”
2.6.13:
Fixed decoding issues because of the new cpuidle driver (thanks to Entropy512)
Set default I/O scheduler to deadline
Reverted lots of code back to v2.6.9 (based on the user experience, it is the best version until now)
Completed universal config interface implementation (the app will be posted when it is finished. the implementation at the kernel side is ready)
You may need to flash this in CWM recovery if you mess with the default config (especially when trying too much undervolting. although most of the settings are safe, changing gpu voltage and freq settings may cause lockups or bootloops): siyah-resetdefaultprofile.zip. this script will reset default profile and your device will boot with default settings.
This will be the last GB kernel release of SiyahKernel.
2.6.12:
Fixed BTHID issues (thanks to Entropy512)
Some wifi driver changes to prevent wlan_rx wakelocks preventing the device to sleep
New cpuidle driver from galaxytab (thanks to Entropy512)
Reverted top-off current back to default
2.6.11:
Replaced the recovery with Hyperdroid Redpill Kernel Recovery. (Thanks to Hyperdroid team and Redpill kernel developer(s)). this recovery can also mount both internal and external sd. (thank you [email protected])
Set the default cpu governor back to ondemand. conservative governor settings are still the same. ondemand governor settings are tweaked a bit (50000-90-5)
Changed some mali internals (set staycounts for steps to: 0-1-1 and down threshold for second step is set to 35). I did not use AndreiLux’s settings for not breaking the compatibility with voltage control app but I highly recommend you try it because it can save a lot of battery juice.
Some patches from upstream
2.6.10:
Default governor is set to conservative with sampling rate of 20msec. those who still say that lionheart is different than conservative governor should inspect the sources or those who don’t know how to do that should try this kernel to get a proof. if you still want EXACTLY the same lionheart governor, just flash lionheart.zip. Unlike what others say it will behave EXACTLY THE SAME as lionheart governor in void kernel if you flash it on this kernel, neak or several others who use netarchy’s change on conservative governor.
(Postponed to 2.6.11 to make a fair comparison of the conservative governor effects) drastic changes in gpu frequencies (thanks to [email protected]). you can use voltage control app to use modify them if they cause any lag in games or video playback but I didn’t feel any lag and they are just perfect. freq set is (40,167,267) with thresholds 85% 30% 80% 30%.
(Postponed to 2.6.11)Some other tweaks for performance and mostly battery life (made cpu hotplug threshods a bit high and some patches from upstream etc)
Set default i/o scheduler to bfq. it seems that song skipping doesn’t happen with bfq @ 100MHz (thanks to [email protected] for the feedback)
Applied Mel Gorman’s patches to SLUB allocator.
This release may not be as battery friendly as v2.6.9. I will make ondemand governor default and use different settings in v2.6.11 to target more battery life. apart from the slub allocator change (which should not effect the performance anyway) all changes in this release can be applied to v2.6.9 by using init scripts or voltage control app (just flash lionheart.zip and set i/o scheduler to bfq).
External SD/Internal SD are mounted backwards, careful when deleting information from them (emmc/sdcard) - Backup first!
Works with Samsung / CM7 / MIUI
Gokhanmoral - "Although I compile at&t version, Entropy512's kernel may be a better choice because there are some differences which I cannot test. He knows what he is talking about and I mean it..."
Flashing .ZIP's in CWM will change once flashing this KERNEL. You will now use the POWER BUTTON to select, and CHOOSE ZIP FROM INTERNAL SDCARD. Same goes for doing Backup/Restore, choose the Internal Card.
USB Debugging is turned off first flash, Just turn it back on Settings->Applications->Development

XZ compression for the kernel to have smaller image size. the size is still similar to previous versions after adding new features
Integrated new sha-1 and crc32 slice-by-8 algorithms
SCHED_MC enabled to have less power consumption. It will have a better support in the next version as it needs more changes in the scheduler code.
Lower brightness levels for low-light conditions to save battery.
Experimental brightness behaviour modification via setting min_bl and max_gamma values.
Native BLN support for CM7 based roms.

Although some parts can be considered as original, all are based on inspirations, examples and other people's code. I have no claim to be original. I am only trying to make my (and probably other's) SGS2 experience better and fun.
About source codes: I do not release source codes during beta testing. I do not use git. I have already proven that I share source code, but only once per release. I don't think that mods will be uncomfortable with this but if they are I can create an account in github and share an old code just like most of the other developers do. I will not choose that path if I don't have to. You can download sources for the releases using the links below. I will simply ignore mails and posts asking about the source code because they are already shared. Also, GPL doesn't force me to use github nor it forces me to release the source code as soon as possible. Therefore, releasing the source code may be delayed for several days. If you don't like this sue me

That's great... more options. I'd like to see Hardcore's kernel ported too.
Here are some screen shots of Siyah kernel being OC to 1.6 on conservative governor. My rom is Unnamed 1.3.1 This is without any major tweaking such OC the GPU. Its extremely powerful

Here are some random Antutu bench scores. These were done on 1.2 GHz conservative governor. Awesome, we finally surpass the galaxy nexus
And we didn't need to OC to do it too. With ICS, we'll blow galaxy nexus out of the waters!

Question? If were running a hellraised rom will this kernel work our do we need an att rom?
Edit: just looked at his thread in the i9100 section. the kernel said compatible with aosp roms as well as in cm7 and miui. Is this true for this one?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Any issues with it? Wifi, reboots, battery life, ect, ect?
Edit: flashed it and everything went smoothly. No issues to report on. According to his thread it's just as stable as stock. Hope it stays that way for us.

I would also link to know if it's compatible with cm7/miui

Here's a quick link to the Siyah kernel over in the i9100 forums. Everything as far as information about the kernel should apply to our phones except the obvious (battery charging steps, anything with the home button, in other words strictly hardware difference related points) as he now has made an i777 kernel version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
This kernel should get posted in the development thread by someone willing to keep up on all it's changes as the Siyah kernel seems to get updated all the time. Unfortunately once I heal up from surgery I won't have the time to be able to do that.

The CWM .zip will not download via phone browser, and when downloading from a windows 7 (IE browser) PC it successfully downloads but when flashing it says the package is bad. I think he needs to reupload it or put an MD5 checksum in place.
For stability, I ran a setcpu stress test on my phone all morning at 1.6 (nearly blew up my battery) and had no issues at all on conservative governor.

Works like a charm, one more time great work Bgn
So I can't seem to use extweaks on this kernel. It's probably got something to do with the sdcard/emmc switch in cm9 recent nightlies.

Info about some mods:
1.4Ghz Overclock + UV. Kept Qualcomm's frequencies table as proved to have less battery drain for some reason.
The undervoltaging is max -50mV on most frequencies, as to avoid error corrections from low voltage (errors in calculations increases drain a lot) and also to avoid cpu halts. Needs further investigating for lower values.
Now using aire's values, the best for battery for over a year.
11mb ram freed from camera and adsp pmem. This came from many tests that showed that when taking 8mp pictures, 720p video (w/ or w/o stabilizer), playing 720p video with hw decoding and hw audio decoding audio, the used pmem was max 42MB for camera pmem and 6MB for adsp. Can be freed 7-8Mb more but didnt do it for stability reasons under multimedia multitasking.
That also shows us that the stabilizer lag in camera doesn't come from the pmems. I'll try to check the camera sources and see if it's driver related.
If you find anything strange with anything that use the camera or the DSP tell me and please provide logcat logs.
Triple Buffering. At last some JB goodies to us using stock. This gives great UI and game Frame rates (tested). It uses the normal mode (as we don't have the vsync sync pulse like JB, which also auto disables it when not needed), and that means that it doesn't introduces slight lag to input. In games if you see something strange though please reply in this thread.
Random Entropy Generator. Fixes and tweaks to random generator. And also to binfmt_elf, no more entropy depletion through using shell, scripts and generally any binary. Say no to blocking random, and enjoy a smoother UI.
Now with frandom for 50x more performance.
Governors/IO scheds. No bloating here. Kept only the best for battery and performance.
The default ones are the highly optimized. If you have some tweaks for all schedulers that will increase battery and performance (always in balance), don't hesitate to tell me.
Key reset. You can reboot your phone when kernel halts or something brought your phone to its knees by pressing
Power + Home for 5s. Don't do it just for restarting it fast! This does not good to your filesystem because they can't sync,
so you can lose changes made the last seconds. Also after initiating it you don't have to press both buttons for the remaining 4s.
In 2.8 the combination is Power + Home + Volume Up for 5s.
Twrp and Cwm differences. TWRP and CWM are both recovery apps but use different apis.
CWM use nandroid backup and TWRP uses it's own.
CWM uses and old recovery API (v2) and TWRP use the newest recovery API 3
That means that you can't use a backup made with cwm in twrp, and vice versa.
In TWRP, some flashable zip will not work, until they have a newer update-binary (that supports API 3).
(That's the one provided by Team Win: update-binary-3)
If you want other info, again write here. And last but not least the kernel version number 0.8a doesn't mean that's beta. The kernel right now is highly optimized and working. The version just means that I'll try many things more to make our phone better.
Thanks:
wedgess for his great Lupus kernel sources.
aire and vdsirotkin for their great kernels that i used for many months at both GB and ICS.
DooMLoRD Well you all know why
thomas1991_12 and championswimmer for help and twrp binary accordingly
And to all Freexperia Project members for their great patches and fixes to our phones.

DISCLAIMER for sharing outside xda:
It got to my attention that the kernel is shared in many boards outside xda
and especially in many Asian ones. It's fine to make a complete copy of OP and changelog,
I don't mind, but you have to provide a link to this thread.
Also, the most important, please use my links for kernel binaries. If you don't do this, I can't see usage stats of my kernel.
That's why I use mediafire. It's fast, supports multiple connections, no wait time and is usable in every country.
Downloads and Sources:
Main Version:
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.4GHz + UV
or
CTCaer Kernel 2.8.2 UKSM special version
The special version may not work for you, cause of lower voltages. After 20 sept, i'll do proper releases.
Vdd Version:
DISCLAIMER: I will not provide help on reboots and bootloops on 1.6GHz + VDD control version.
It's here for people that need 1.6ghz and voltage control only. Default speed is 1.0Ghz.
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.6GHz + VDD control
If you want to use usb storage, ntfs and more you can flash these modules (if not, they are optional):
Modules for CIFS, NTFS, FUSE and USB Storage v2 ** Updated **
The updated modules bring: Updated cifs,fuse,ntfs,usb-storage and adds nls_utf8 for Unicode support, plus oprofile for people that want debugging.
CTCaer Kernel needs stock wifi modules. If you changed them, flash this:
Stock .13 WiFi modules
If you came from a kernel that you had to flash custom modules, use the flash zip above to have the stock ones again.
Some kernels, like Lupus, change the modules on their own, by just flashing the kernel and powering on the phone.
The original with Lupus are moved in /system/lib/modules.old.
Info for going back from Lupus
Many thanks @arcatarc for providing the flashable update zip.
Old Versions:
CTCaer Kernel v2.7 1.4GHz + UV

For v2.7,2.8 check v2.8 branch, because currently, I don't have time to push commits one by one.
For compiling, I used Linaro 4.7.3 and ctcaer_urushi_defconfig (1.4GHz+UV) and ctcaerVDD_urushi_defconfig (1.6GHz+Vdd)
If you liked my kernel click THANKS!
Changelog:
Older:
v0.8a:
*Initial Release.
v0.9 (renamed to v2):
*Added 1.6Ghz (UVed)
*Removed Ondemand
*Added OndemandX cpu scheduler
*Added CFQ i/o scheduler
*Removed autoroot
*Changed ro.secure to 0 for rooted ADB on default
*More ram (because of ramdisk's reduced size)
*Fixed Kernel Samepage Merging startup.
*Reduced freq to 1Ghz for kernel booting (to avoid 1.6ghz's drain). Comes back to 1.4Ghz for at bootanimation.
*Some more ramdisk changes
v2.5:
*New logo. SE strikes back with energy logo
*Deep undervolting. Thanks to Intuki for providing aire's values
*Fixes to binfmt_elf. No more random entropy depleting through using cat, ls and well every binary and script.
*Random entropy generator tweaks. I scream more UI smoothness
*Enabled cpu group scheduling
*Better pmem (updated to 2.6.35.x. For full changelog: pmem patch)
*Removed unused modules and some non-usefull debugging for a lighter Kernel
*Fixes to memory leaks on the networking side
*Fixes to android binder
*Usb network tethering support
*Added ipsec tunneling support
*Fix to cpufreq. Now you can see available frequencies through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
*Removed KSM because after so many days nothing in our phone calls it
*Tweaks to ramdisk for faster boot
v2.51:
*Reverted pmem code to stock to fix broken adsp for videos. Sorry about that :/
*Known bug on 2.50-.51: Unstable 1.6ghz because of low voltage.
v2.52:
*Added 1.5ghz and stabilised 1.6ghz more
*Changed PATH variable at boot end so busybox is not taken from /system/bin or xbin
*Increased 720p vidc default input buffer for smoother video playback
*Fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reusedimmediately
MIUI compatibility:
*Added MIUI shelld service (stock based roms are not affected by this), thanks to stillka
*Reverted binder patches
v2.6:
*Split kernel to 2 versions:
1.4GHz with Undevolting
1.6GHz with Vdd (voltage) control
*More Undervolting to lower frequencies for even better battery for main version. (3 days test showed 1% per 7hours with gsm+wifi on+widget updating every 1 hour)
*Stabilized higher frequencies.
*frandom implementation inside kernel. No need for module. It's 10-50 times faster than random/urandom
Replaced random and urandom with frandom and erandom. No need for apps to do that and it's done at boot so no app or process use the old ones.
(For ramdisk modders: the script is in /sbin/bootrec. You need it for frandom replacement before android boots.)
*Enabled bfq i/o scheduler cgroup
*Fixed PATH variable for good. Now it will report the right busybox in scripts and apps that can't use their own path.
*Tweaked cgroup values for background apps and more
*Enabled memory suspend deep power down. (This will do nothing for roms that can't use it, or without a script calling it)
*Enabled scheduler tunables (like sched_latency_ns, sched_wakeup_granularity_ns and more). Here's a good read about them: sysctl scheduler tunables
Tuning them will provide some more boost to your ray. Have in mind results are different from system to system and different workloads.
v2.7:
*Default scheduler is now SIO for nand and sd
*More total ram (4MB)
*Tweaks and fixes to msm_fb and mdp, for optimized and faster rendering plus less ram usage.
*Optimizations in memory management
*Updated LMK to the latest aprl-2013 version and added some tweaks
*Updated to a more optimized Compaction
*Optimizations to RCUTiny
*Optimized smartassv2 and added Boost pulse
*Added ROW scheduler, thanks to @kast
Experimental!
(Also some optimizations from the k3.4 version are missing for now)
Any benchmark on SIO vs ROW are welcomed.
*Performance optimisations on SIO and Deadline i/o schedulers
*Updated CFQ i/o scheduler
*Reordered functions in input driver for faster touch responce
*Removed Superbad and Lulzactive to lessen the kernel threads and free ram
*Kernel decompressor optimazations to Lzo
*Added Reset by pressing Power+Home keys for 5s
Only use it when you have to. (example: kernel halt) Don't make it your new reboot way!
*Made vibrator worqueue's priority higher to lessen the lag in big cpu load
*Added compact mem per node
*Fixed performance calculation in vidc (video codec)
*Enable Fsync
*Protect a proccess from killed by LMK far too many times
*Fix to suspend power management
*Fixed init.d support not working when having install-recovery.sh for int2ext and other scripts
*And more performance and memory optimizations..

I'll consider it. I'll maybe add one with 1.6ghz or with one capped at boot at 1.4ghz. Will see
How i wish their is interactiveX & CFQ. ehehe
From the features it seem a really good kernel(i like the fact it use stock wifi modules too),tnx,but i have some questions:
1)It is undervolt embedded in kernel?
2)Can you make a version without autoroot (or can i modify your ramdisk to use in my rom)?
Tnx in advance and keep the good workin..
Sweet candy, baby! Sounds AWESOME! Flaaaashing immediately! OMG, LOL!
Triple Buffering=project butter?
OK flashed, looks promising. I am on Zelly Cream and superuser doesn't start. What now?
EDIT: Cleaned dalvik, cache, fix permissions, cleared data on superuser app. SuperSU also not able to update binary. Sorry if it's a stupid situation.

It was in my intentions to add CFQ but forgot to re add the kernel flag. Have in mind that cfq maybe is one of the most configurable io scheds but bfq does a better job in fairness (because it's an improved cfq).
As for interactiveX I'll review it.

1) Yep to avoid reboot problems. (even in stock voltages and configurable vdd for example, my ray reboots.)
I'm open though to suggestions about levels. In the next days I'll play a little with the current_now and try some new voltages until i find the
sweet spots before the error corrections begin. Also if for example 750mV has the same drain with 800mV I will keep the 800 one for stability. No need for extreme undervoltaging.
2)Well to be true I didnt wanted to included but many ppl need that feature from the kernel. If will remove it? Dont know yet.
But for sure you can edit the ramdisk. Just comment out the autoroot service in init.rc or delete the autoroot.sh in /sbin.

Yep. Well almost. It's what the project butter is based off.
Until now (testing it for 8days) it does a good job and the UI feels a looot better.
Need some tests from games though. I heard that triple buffering made some glitches in xperia T JB. If it's kernel related maybe i can add the patch to our sources.

Well it's not. The superuser is the latest 3.2 and does not have update ability (the button that says update is cosmetic and version informative). The autoroot script is copying the superuser and the su. You are ready to go.
Also no need for wipes. If something doesn't work it has nothing to do with caches.

Btw you all have problem with superuser?
NOTE:
I'm not a DEV and not pretending to be one, I'm a android enthusiast.
I would like to thank all XDA members that are helpful.
I build and mod stuff for my personal needs and then I share them.
Do I want something in return? NO.
You don't like it, no problem, there are enough good DEV's with there kernel to help you along

Separate kernels for 5100 & 5110 due to ramdisk changes between them. (Problems with Stickmount & USB OTG so I had to make two different kernels , zImage is the same but the ramdisk is different.)
So it still chows 2.0 in settings as nothing changed in the zImage (boot.img = zImage + ramdisk)
CivZ-StormBorn-Rev2.1 (11-Jul-2013)
3GUSB Dongle support when connected with OTG usb cable with the PPP-Widget
Connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
Just set your APN in the widget and connect it, it works fine with my Huawei E1552 3GUSB dongle
This is a nice option for people that got the GT-N5110 wifi only but I think even people with the GT-N5100 can use this option.
CivZ-StormBorn-Rev2.2 (15-Jul-2013)
All modules removed and all features build in to kernel : cifs , ppp 3Gusb support, ufs,....... No more messing with loading modules.
Read time of bad quality SD cards increased.
25/08/2013 Rev1.4 released.
ExFat support , compiled from source
Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU USB Wireless Network Adapter support
Ralink driver support : Ralink rt2500 (USB) / Ralink rt2501/rt73 (USB) / Ralink rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx (USB) /
rt2800usb - Include support for rt33xx , rt35xx , rt53xx
Atheros Wireless Cards support
DOWNLOAD AND INFO IN OP
Note on GPU clock:
Trickster shows more selectable frequencies but you will notice that when you leave the app (back button) the max clock will always be 533MHz even if you selected 700MHz.
I did not eneable higher clocks as I still need to figure it out , I got a test kernel with higher clocks but I don't see any real performance difference so I don't make it public now.
Result at 1.9GHz

Thanks for sharing so you said no OC for now, is this kernel good for better battery life?
Thanks civato, it works for me. I tried cifs mount to samba server - good. Androbench reports huge improvements in I/O so fsync must be working right. Cheers
Booted great for me too. I reverted because my init.d is customized already and one of my scripts wasn't running, but wonderful to see.
My wish list for kernels includes undervolting before it includes overclocking, especially with performance enhancements in i/o coming online.
I applied the i/o script in the toolbox forum earlier today and at least benchmark performance jumped. Not sure about overall system response yet, not that much time with the toy today

Use at your own risk
Take a Nandroid backup of your system and of your boot.img
You need to be on custom cwm to install this
Info:
Build using the JB source of the GT-N5110 compiled with Google toolchain.

No dynamic fsync is off by default, you need to enable it with terminal command. See op on how to.
Your I/O score is higher then stock because of the init.d tweak included.
dynamic fsync, what is this?
gesendet vom Galaxy Note 8.0
I eventually sorted out the problem I was having with my init.d script.
The new kernel identifies the sdcard differently. The stock kernel refers to
/dev/block/vold/179:17
the custom kernels need to be told that it is
/dev/block/vold/179:49
Folks who are rebinding their SD cards to extend their storage should keep that in mind.
Once I'd ironed that out, I found that the system was using more cpu at idle than it had been. Using governor tweaks (mostly around the "ignore nice" setting) my cpu idles at 200-300 mhz quite a lot of the time.
I saw a lot more spikes to 1.4-1.6 ghz with the new kernel.
I suspect that's a result of the different superuser more than anything else, but I ultimately reverted back entirely.

I don't know what governor tweaks you use but mine idles at 200MHz and only jumps to max when needed.
My battery life is normal and nothing higher then on stock kernel.
I didn't even change anything regarding this in the source.
With dynamic fsync on, approx 3x improvement in sequential write:

ps:
Working on my git , will be done tomorrow.
PS:
Included trickster app give you a good look on the cpu interaction.
I'm currently running happy at a 75 mvolt underclock, and if this proves stable I'll probably try for a 150 mvolt next.
Thank you very much for providing a kernel that supports undervolting!
I use two init.d tweaks. One chanages the frequency step from 37% to 5% - I'm trying to get the processor to step up in 100 mhz increments, rather than jumping from 200 to 800 and on to 1400 quite so much.
I'm also using "ignore nice load," so the processors ignore niced processes when counting their backlog and deciding whether it's time to increase clock.
I wasn't (and don't) think that there was anyting in the kernel that was making my system idle at higher load.
I do think that the superuser that got installed with your binary was doing more work than the su's I'm used to working with, since it was offering to ask again in 15 minutes after the grants of privilege escalation.
I ultimately fixed it by extracting the boot.img file from your package and just flashing that, then adding the modules and init.d scripts in root explorer, and putting back my preferred superuser.

One thing that is odd on this guy - when I undervolt, many but not all of the voltages take. There are a few of the voltages that it seems Samsung really, really wants to have a little higher, especially in the 200 / 400 / 600 mhz range but some up higher than that.
when will be kernel available for N5100? wlan version is boring
the first rule of kernel club is you don't ask for deadlines in kernel club.
Now we all get to hang out at your house and drink beer forever. Except you. You have to get a job to support us.
Big thanks, 1.1 flashed - all looks good to me.
info next update
Some info on next update.
Rev1.3.
Redid the uv so it works on all frequencies correctly. Meaning the lower frequencies.
I added new lower frequenties 50 and 100 MHz.
Over clocking up to1800 MHZ, maybe 1920 if I get it.
boot up speed is 200 and 1600 MHz , if you want lower or higher speeds you need to set it.
Enabled arch power and some more optimizations.....
release today or tomorrow.
