Note2Core Kernel for Galaxy Note II N7100 / N7105 (LTE)
About this kernel
This kernel is built from pure Samsung GT-N7100 source, with modifications and tweaks to provide the best user experience in reliability, performance and stability. Built upon my experience firstly with NoteCore and then HydraCore for the original Note, as many of you know, I strive for the best
There are 3 versions of each kernel, for the International standard Note II GT-N7100 and the International LTE model GT-N7105.
This kernel has all debuging removed - logcat, android log, kernel log, schedular log, etc etc all disabled. This is for performance reasons, so if you are a developer this kernel is probably not for you
For the moment, exFAT formatted SDCards are not supported
Kernel Versions
There are three variants of the kernel for each device
STANDARD (STD) - 1.6ghz FSync() enabled
OVERCLOCK (OC) - 1.8ghz FSync() enabled
EXTREME (EX) - 1.8ghz FSync() disabled
The standard version, has no modifications to the processor clocks or voltages and can be considered a direct replacement for the stock kernel, and with FSync() enabled is completely stable
The OC kernel automatically scales up to 1.8ghz, with the proven voltages and stability from the perseus kernel (the same frequency table is used), and with FSync() enabled is completely stable
The EX kernel also scales to 1.8ghz, and has FSync() disabled. It offers by far the best possible performance. In rare circumstances you must be aware that this can lead to data corruption and the need to wipe / reflash a rom back to the phone. 99% of people will have no issues with this, as it has been extensively tested and proven on my previous kernel, but the risk is there. Dont go moaning to me if you lose your data and haven't got a nandroid backup!

What processor does that model have? if its exynos try the 7105 kernel, make sure you have a stock kernel to reflash via pc odin if it does not work
edit:
didnt see it was you! hello again nice to see some familiar names around here!
EDIT2 -
before you try it, please send me a .zip fo all the files found in the / (root) of your phones drive (init.rc etc etc) and / or a stock kernel boot.img - I might be able to make one if the 7105 kernrel dont work

My new kernel!
Will come in two flavours:
U1 - based on Samsung Update1
U2 - based on Samsung Update2 - Canceled due to release of Update3 sources!
U3 - based on Samsung Update3 - in progress
Features:
support for SetCPU OC (upto 1400MHz)
UV between 800mV and 1400mV
support for Boot Animation
support for BLN
The goal of my first kernel was to take the battery savings gained from HardCORE's kernel and allow undervolting and underclocking to further improve battery life. I added Boot Animation and BLN support just because I could. This kernel adds to my previous kernels, taking bits and pieces from here and there also.
As usual, this kernel could break your hardware, so only flash if you are not concerned with bricking your device.
Thanks also to the authors of Ninphetamine kernel - their SetCPU supporting code was the basis for the SetCPU support in this kernel, I have also used BLN code from their Git Repository, thanks to creams.
Change Log:
U1 - v1.1 - based on Samsung Update 1
New compiler optimisations - partially from SpeedMod, partially my own.
U1 - v1.1a - minor update release.
Increased touch sensitivity
U1 - v1.1b - minor update release.
Init.d support
Future plans:
Auto Root-ing
Auto install modified liblights
U3 version.

Thanks for the kernel, there seems to be something wrong with clockworkmod as it doesn't mount usb storage and also installing zip from it doesn't do anything (ie. theme or whatever).
Previous kernels and others work no problem.
Keep up the great work!

Not yet. But i can make overclocked kernel later. But i think 1ghz dual-core is enough for ics.
I think that greater number governors and schedulers are more important than overclocking, you're 100% right with speed for ICS and even JB.

not a kernel feature requires correct media codecs.
Edit : @Dev congrats First custom kernel for this device(max safe oc for this processor is 1.2 GHz just saying) also a request can you add ROW IO sheduler heard its better than SIO also PegasusQ/D governer.In next release.

Qualcomm S4 Play is made for speed 1-1.2GHz, and that's the safe range of frequencies. Remember that this is ARM-cortex A5 not Krait, and more than 1.2 can really harm it.

I know ramdisk, but let me rephrase my question, what exactly (in ramdisk) needs to be modified and how, to make it work on jb. Anyways, i'm still figuring things out by trial n error so progress is very very slow. The logcat was the only thing i ever got to which showed the cm10 logo as well but then, everything MESSED up. Havent been able to replicate that result since.

The difference isn't just in ics and jb. the difference is in cm and sense ramdisk too. I don't know what need modify yet, but i will start the work with cm later when i have enough free time.

my bad edited.seems mixed it up.
So happy to hear such good news for the DesireX! Finally the developing for this device is becoming richer first of all, thank you for this custom kernel and thanks nexus prime for his effort to port the CM series I'm not an expert but yeah, sense and AOSP/AOKP Roms need different kernels. To learn more I think that Dennis Rassmann (the creator of the famous Bricked kernel series) or faux can answer your question about ramdisk, if you contact them (they are really kind and gentle). After that I would like to ask if it's possible to add the useful sweep2wake function to this kernel, in future. For now, good work guys, never give up!!!
Hello! This is my first thread, ever, on any forum so please don't bash me if I forget something .
I've decide to make a kernel for the SGP 5.0 for Gingerbread because I loved Entropy512's, but I was slightly jelous of the INTL users and all their new givernors and I/O schedulers. Soooo i used Entropy512's sources and borrowed rumirand's schedulers and governors and tossed in a 1.4 GHz OC and a few cherry picks from KOala888 and voila!
Current features:
O3 optimization
battery pooling - 60sec (KOala888)
touchscreen responsivness tweaked (KOala888)
Screen UV (KOala888)
2.6.35.7 source for GingerBread.
Unsecure mode.
Swap support.
Overclock to 1.4Ghz and undervolt capabilities (use SetCPU or another software for UV).
Added lazy (default), interactive, interactiveX, smartassv2, ondemandX governors.
Added BFQ, V(R) and SIO (default) schedulers.
Init.d support.
Added statically linked busybox 1.19.3 (/sbin)*.
Modified adbd (pointing shell to /sbin/sh), so you can use adbd even if you don't have any partition working.
ext4 support (ghetto lagfix).
ClockWorkMod. Nandroid backup - restore works, mount/umount, format (formats to ext4).
CIFS support.
jhash3.
SoD patch from netarchy/coolbho3k.
TinyRCU.
netarchy's conservative tuning patch.
Custom bootanimation support (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) from Entropy512's kernel.
Per-File fsync() disable
Charginghacks from Entropy512.
I may release a 1.2 GHz version if the community finds 1.4 too unstable.
If there is anything i forgot please tell me!

I've got Entropy's kernel on my player, and I keep having random freezes. For instance, I'll be typing or scrolling and thing go completely unresponsive for a second or two. I'm not sure if it's a governor thing or what (I've turned off overclocking to see if that helped, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
Do I just have a bad install of Entropy's, or is this something everyone has? Would flashing this kernel likely to fix those issues? Can I flash without re-installing my ROM (Gingerbread Based)? Are there any issues I should know about before applying this kernel?

I had the same problem, i could never diagnose the source, but so far i havent had it once with the 1.4GHz OC. if you do get that problem tell me and ill look into it further .
EDIT: Problem still exists, if anyone has an idea what it is please tell me. I believe Mevordel had a theory a while back it was due to facebook being a rogue app and causing it. Feedback on this theory will be greatly appreciated!
EDIT2: Facebook does not appear to be the culprit.

Well, I've flashed it now. Here's to hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out
I ran this kernel almost all day yesterday. Visually, things in the UI don't look much faster (probably because of the lack of GB hardware acceleration, and Project Butter), but a few 3D games run noticeably better. Those random pauses that occur, especially when typing on a keyboard, have seemed to also disappear. Thanks for making Gingerbread a bit better to use for those of us that can't let it go completely just yet!
I likewise ran all day, and didn't see any issues. I'm optimistic they're gone now. I never install Facebook, to further disprove that theory.

Of course But you may get compile errors when building with Linaro, in which case you will need to solve them. There are also a few other things to worry about with Linaro, else you may solve the errors and get the kernel to compile and it won't boot.
Thank you! I am a going to load this right now. Thanks for including smartassV2 in governors. The main reason I used INTL r14 over Entropy.
Edit: 8:50 pm.
Cannot load over clock module from Tegrak. When I try to load the module and change the OC to 1.152 (which I find most stable on my player) the player will reboot. 1.2 and 1.4 seem to be the only option for OC. Been running at 1.2 for now with no issues. 1.4 seemed to run too hot.

Same problem here with Tegrak, I'll try to get it sorted out in the next release.
EDIT: I got the module to load i think, but the device reboots directly after. It reboots after the Load Module button greys though so I'm fairly sure its loading
EDIT2: It loads if i set the max frequency to 1.2GHz from No Frills, but if i change it back to 1.4 after its loaded it reboots. Getting there .
it can't get "too" hot from technical side

The tegrak module and the kernel have version names in them and the module will only load when the version inside said module matches the version of the kernel. Basically, they need to have the same name. There's some nice info on this here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x380.html

It's not the version of the version but the localversion (normally it is 2.6.35.7-XXXXX) The X represents the local version. You can modify the module to actually make it work with the kernel or in your case modify the localversion specified in the defconfig.
Thank you so much for this Kernel!!!! I am loving the 1.4 Ghz. Smooth sailing so far. Once again thanks!

Lots of optimizations with more to come!
The kernel source and Commits that show all changes for this kernel can be found here:GITHUB
Prerequisites
Unlocked bootloader
Root
Install Busybox for init.d support
TricksterMod is recommended for changing settings
How does this work?
Start by making a Backup of your boot in recovery, then:
Flash the latest version in Recovery . Proceed to the downloads below, download to your tablet, reboot into recovery and install the zip --That simple!
if you want to build your own kernel start to finish with complete instructions, you can follow my guide for rolling your own kernel HERE

Knock-on app for my kernel can be downloaded here.
To add my sleektweeks init.d file, and/or the Zipalign file, see my post: HERE
Updated -SleekCyan2 - to include exfat support, LCD screen control, and further optimizations for GPU and the linaro toolchain.
Updated - SleekCyan3 - to include knock-on by default, removal of some debugging, quicker deep sleep. (better battery?)
Thanks for the cm12 kernel. I'm liking you're LP kernel, but will try this one as well...

Exfat support for sdcards now works out of the box with CyanogenMod version 2-4-15 and later.
So I flashed this last night when I saw you posted it recently and this morning I checked it and it had zero battery drain overnight, very nice. Can't wait to dig in a little deeper when I get time. Between this and the new CM12, 2015 is really shaping up to be a good year for the old (but great) v510, finally, thank you.
Sleekmason:
I should be able to use the same sleektweaks and zipalign stuff from the Lollipop kernel, correct?
Thanks

Yep! The latest 88sleektweaks has voltage control table as well ( already adjusted down a bit to the settings I use). These can be changed here but be careful! TricksterMod is useful for making the initial changes to test as they won't get restored on boot. If you change them in the file and something goes wrong, you will have to remove the file using twrp.

Just tried it with CM12 and it's a super V510 combo! Feels fast and smooth! Thanks for your XDA development & contribution.
UPDATED 2-12-15
Added Row IO Scheduler and Sound control - Change using trickster or in settings for row, and in trickster for sound control. Also added upstream fixes.
Is Row better than cfq? I think maybe it is . . . Battery will be the deciding factor for me. If anybody wants Row default for this kernel, let me know and I will implement it on next version. Regards,
I'll give it a go tomorrow, currently I've tweeked to Ondemand and ReadAhead to 512. Cool

Are you finding On-demand better than Interactive? Seems like interactive is smoother to me. Also, keep in mind that the larger the read ahead the more battery is used.

Not much difference maybe slightly faster but still analyzing with the new rom update...
BTW, did you see my post cm12 rom about GPS? Maybe you can take a look...
Row is working very good & smooth so far (speed, smooth & stable are my priorities and then battery). Think I'll stay with it; up to you if u want it as default.

Those who speak up get to choose! Row it is! Will update including row as default next compile.
Great kernel guide thread for those of us who like to mod & test settings in Sleek's Cool kernels!

The Background:
JB is far gone as of now, but i still love what Samsung delivered with JB 4.1.2 on my beloved SII.
Dorimanx and Computoncio used to deliver regular builds with latest patches from Linux kernel and they managed to bring it to 3.15-rc2.
But now the project seems like dead.
This is my effort to keep it ticking till the point its possible for me. My intentions is not create any mess of builds, that may harm this evergreen xda community. The Credit still goes to the Original Developers.
If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you can flash latest build by Computoncio
You can download from his official website:

FEATURES:
This kernel include the following additional features:
* New Uber toolchain (4.9) 10-05-2015. Overall it feels smoother on it than linaro.
* IsoRec Support
* SuperSU 2.46
* FPU corruption bugfix (aka music player fix)
* Package Parsing error fixed. There is an issue with the current Initramfs. I have reverted to older version (v98) of it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ives/rom-brickbug-aftermath-speeding-t2843238
Use this at your own RISK
I have also added options to run trim from Stweaks. it would trim your data, cache, system and preload partitions only. I have also added cron support to run trim every day morning, but cron is somehow broken, i;m still looking into that issue.
v8.45v021
TRIM is still ENABLED, i'm working on the switch to publish both trim and non trim versions
Use this at your own RISK
1. Initramfs updated to sync with Dorimanx's branch. Dualbooters @Troubadour666 kindly test

thanks for the project
(i have OMNI rom LP on 1rst rom )
nice :good: I'm sure all people on stock jelly bean will really benefit from this!

There's no need to add mods like that. All we needed was the fpbug fix

This is a feature request. May you please add back the fiops scheduler that was removed a while ago (for some reason, fiops still exists in the dorimanx kernel code, but is somehow not listed in stweaks).

I read around the reviews of FIOPS, It looks good. Let me check the code.
Meanwhile can you within Dorimanx thread why it was removed?

According to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34308971&postcount=15892, dorimanx removed fiops a while ago because it was bugged. But he did that at a early build of his kernel, so stability could be better (or at least different) now with all the kernel changes. It's a shame since it was a good scheduler too (zen was supposedly better). IMO, it's probably not worth the time investing to put this feature back into dorimanx kenel.

Here is Dorimanx's post why it was removed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...3-jb-i9100-t1617219/post34308971#post34308971
I just went through code, it wont be much of hassle to enable it back, but i guess it would take a lot of testing.
FIOPS results
I have been using FIOPS for couple of days now
Here is my observation,
Although it doesn't beat ROW on Androbench Benchmarks, the phone feels snappier with it, I guess that's due to good multitasking capability of the scheduler.
There are occasional lock ups but the phone recovers in couple of seconds.

Hey thanks for bringing back dorimax first of all ,..
i have a few questions actually
1st y does dorimax takes up more ram than other kernels like jeboo or other stock based have about 820-830 MB of ram while dori has 760 something
2nd if this is because its capable of taking up all of android 4.x can you make it purely 4.1 stock based to have more user Ram
I guess free RAM has nothing to do with android version.
I remember in Dorimanx kernel thread there are couple of changelogs related to free RAM. It's worth checking that.

Maybe because DorimanX supports dual boot? Two Mali drivers in one version for JB, witch isn't greatly optimised. Apolo without overclock works better.
Scrolling in settings is laggy with this kernel, and in all kernels from 8.x branch.
Unoptimized for TW, on AOSP is different story.
