Hi guys, here is my first kernel for the Galaxy Note 3 here on Sprint.
I'll update this post to look prettier and with more information regarding the kernel but for now--here it is. This kernel is based solely on stock with minor tweaks. I do this to keep it as stable as the stock kernel as possible. There will be no features added that may impact stability because I am also keeping it as close to Samsung source as possible. But it does include a few things: Overclocking up to 2.88GHz, UV_mV_table support, removed debugging, and random tweaks here and there.
Please remember that all phones are not equal and choosing a frequency over stock (2.26GHz) can introduce instabilities, but it is not due to a crappy kernel or crappy coding. I've tried my best to calculate my overclocking voltages based on the stock voltage table.
Also, please leave feedback on your experience, requests, dislikes, pretty much anything you can so I can know what I need to do with this kernel to improve it.
For those who want to see what CPU BIN you have (the higher the better) run this command, from adb or terminal: cat /sys/devices/system/soc/soc0/soc_pvs
Post your results and I will try my best to reply to them with information on your particular CPU. The results will be a single number ranging 0-6.
Huge thanks to imoseyon and morfic for all of their help, support, and general awesomeness.
Other thanks: Faux123.
SpeedBurst? Yup! You may notice that your CPU spikes up to 2.3GHz (Roar) or 2.41GHz (Rage) occasionally. This is "SpeedBurst," and is meant to give you that extra burst of speed when you need it most lol. These two frequencies are given the most performance increases because it is assumed that most, if not all Note 3s can handle it since it is such a small step up from the stock 2.26GHz frequency.
BeastMode is now being released with 3 versions:
CALM: This is essentially CatMode but with all other non OC/UV related tweaks done as well. This means no L2 or bus changes, but all other changes are included.
ROAR: This is a step up and includes a slight bump for L2 with a slightly higher L2 in frequencies 2.3-2.41 GHz. (Most phones should handle this fine.)
RAGE: This is BeastMode in its current form with a heavy bump for L2 as well as bus with the highest bump in frequencies 2.3-2.41 GHz.
Keep in mind that voltages, L2, and bus speeds are and will always remain stock for all frequencies up to 2.26 GHz for all versions of BeastMode.

First samsung device of my own. My experience is with friends devices where I would just use Odin or cwm to flash a rom package usually including a kernel. Never flashed a kernel separately to a Samsung phone. Only had Motorola and HTC devices till now. My question is is there a flashable stock kernel in case I am not happy with this or do I just pull the boot.img from a back up I have made and push with ADB? Thanks.

If you're using a custom recovery, you can back up the kernel from it before flashing and just restore it if you're not satisfied. If you aren't using one, but are rooted, you can use ADB commands to backup the boot partition. see below:

Yes... if you're rooted and can achieve adb shell SU, simply run this command from terminal or ADB shell: First make sure you have extracted the zip file and transferred the new kernel (boot.img) to your phone's internal or external storage. my commands assume you have transferred it to internal storage.
To back up current kernel run: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/bootCURRENT.img
To flash new kernel (reverse the command): dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
To restore your backed up kernel: dd if=/sdcard/bootCURRENT.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
Also, installing it manually like this, you will also need to modify your build.prop and push it back to your phone in order to get WiFi working.
You can do this with root explorer, or any other text editor on your phone: open /system/build.prop and scroll towards the bottom and look for "ro.securestorage.support=true" and change it to false.
All of this is done automatically by flashing the zip, so this is only for those who want to manually install the kernel.

It appears as though the average is a 2, which isn't bad at all. Mine is a 2 as well, and I know a few people who have a 3. Basically, the higher your PVS, the more capable your processor is of handling voltages and overclocking. It was probably manufactured more towards the center wafer of the silicone.
Using PVS 1 2 and 3 as examples:
A CPU with PVS 1 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1075mV.
A CPU with PVS 2 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1050mV.
A CPU with PVS 3 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1025mV.
Now, this is not to say that your CPU is unable to achieve the same as a PVS 3 or higher, but for averages and stability, that is the voltage that was chosen. That is where the UV_mV_table comes in. Here you can experiment with different voltages with a CPU app such as SetCPU, System Tuner, etc. Keep in mind that experimenting with voltages doesn't guarantee stability and you do so at your own risk. That's not to say you will fry your phone or anything, but you never know. The suggested path to follow in under/overvolting is to start off with -12.5mV or +12.5mV and test for stability. For instance, if your phone isn't very stable at a high overclock, you would add 12.5mV to the speed you're trying to achieve and see if that helps. The same goes for undervolting. All current voltages are stock and will not be changed by me. The overclocking voltages were calculated based on the table for stock voltages.
Hope all this helps and happy overclocking!
Awesome Info freeza.. tks
Also do you think manually installing the kernel will trip knox

Hey, here is a little kernel Houstonn and I have been working on. It's based on Faux123 kernel for nexus 4, however, it has evolved into a "buffet" kernel. I keep choosing what i believe is the better interface / way of doing things in a choice of various way or what could give us better battery / performance. I'm trying to maintain a certain balance.
This version is for geeb (AT&T/Canadian) with the 8mp cam. If you have a 13mp camera use that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246152
I won't link to Faux123 kernel in the nexus 4 for the simple reason that 99% of the people don't read and on these 99% of people, a few will end up flashing nexus 4 kernel which mostly flash by partition number and not by partition name thus hard bricking their device.
Reason to at least try it :
CPU voltage table
Intellidemand and Wheatley governor added
All the block I/O scheduler
TCP Westwood algorithm
Faux123 sounds interface
Faux123 gamma interface (color control)
Newest Prima (wifi) driver.
In-kernel thermal watching
Msm_mpdecision (In-kernel OpenSource MPDecision)
Thanks :
Houstonn

Reserved for the pleasure.
too many pleasures.....
Thanks for creating a thread here since many of us don't go to the Canadian forum. Should cut down on the redundant "where do I get the houcha kernel" questions in all the ROM threads, since googling "houcha kernel" is apparently too much to ask.

Where do I find these tools? Googling the phrases in the OP just show me the Franco Kernel (which is different than the Faux123 kernel ours is based off of, isn't it?) and this app that, while it claims compatibility according to Google Play, doesn't say in the description that it supports our phone.
I just want to be absolutely sure that something works with what we've got (and is actually effective) before I go off and waste another $5 on an app that I can't use.

He said in the OP he removed Eco Mode because it comes with the new intelliplug stuff from Franco. Turn off MPDecision and the cores will shut off when not needed.
I'm using Houstonn's root box rom and Performance Control keeps overriding TricksterMod. Before, I was able to deny PC SU permissions, now I can't. Also, not seeing intelliplug with TM even after turning MPDecision in the app. Any help?
Edit: I'm not finding intelliplug in Franco's app either. Interactive is the only governor that seems to be limiting all my cores to the min frequency. Intellidemand let's them all scale up to 1ghz.
Well that kinda sucks after I spent money on faux123 kernel enhancement app. You say it disables cores when they're not needed, and that is true but the overwhelming majority of the time I'm not doing 4 things at once with the phone. It handles 90% of my usage just fine on 1 core or 2, not 4 lol.
Ok, please respect my time spend on that kernel and read at least those few opening posts and last pages of topic.
Many users reported that overclocking doesn't work for them, they got SODs etc. most probably because of gpu overclocking. So I present you a kernel with LiveOC feature that should be good for every user.

1. Main features (more in changelogs and on mine git)
* LiveOC
* Fastcharge
* CustomVoltage
* 441mb of RAM
* 400,800,1000,1100,1200,1300,1400 frequency steps with stock gpu&bus speed
* BFS
* Lowmemorykiller from 3.4
* Frandom
* 3.0.8
* Fsync disabled
* Lowered screen minimum brightness (I hope so that this is our hardware limit)
* default SIO and conservative
* opitmal readahead
* mine touchscreen values
* wifi works at normal speed when device is locked
* battery is charged to its 100%
* Touchscreen undervolted 20%
* Maaany other fixes and small features
2. Tunables
For managing those features you are supposed to use apk like NSTools or any other, but that one is highly recomennded
LiveOC
I implemented it so everybody can overclock as he wants to, total personalization and freedom of choice. And possibility to squeeze maximum performance.
LiveOC simply overclocks CHOOSED cpu frequencies by a % choosed by YOU, user.
As the gpu&bus frequency is simply cpu frequency divided by a number, it also is overclocked by choosed %.
Unfotunatelly cpu frequency and gpu&bus frequency are linked so choosed % affect both of them.
As I said, you can also choose which frequencies to overclock which is great facility.]
You won't probably be able to overclock more than 127% because of our BUS which can't achieve such a frequency (most devices)
For example, you choosed minimum frequency affected by LiveOC as 1300mHz and maximum as 1400mHz.
You set LiveOC % to 110., then:
1,1*1300 ==> 1430mHz
1,1*1400 ==> 1540mHz
1,1*200 ==> 220mHz - gpu&bus frequency for both of the frequencies
Now you probably think: Ok, I can overclock even to 1,7gHz but my device will reboot for sure because of too low voltages! That is why I also implemented CustomVoltage. Although when you overclock it slightly then you possibly won't have to adjust voltages.
*WARNING*
Some frequencies seem to not like liveoc, for me it is 1300mhz. Also some liveoc values can be laggy, use different then.
CustomVoltage
CustomVoltage allows to set you custom voltage for both cpu and gpu&bus.
Perfect solution for undervolting and overvolting when using liveOC
ARM voltage - voltage given to CPU
INT voltage - voltage given to GPU&BUS
Fastcharge
Fastcharge make charging via USB as fast as via normal A/C charger
You can simply turn it on and off whenever you like.
Minimum Brightness
Now your device can be even dimmer when using it at night.
*WARNING* You have to use RootDim apk for this thing. Lowering brightness via setting or on statusbar would require rom modification
I highly recommend seting up a custom tile, you choose Rootdim night1 and for example system icon "cloud".
Then you open RootDim, set your brightness to 1 and longpress Night1 button.
Voilla! You have a custom tile that sets your brightness to 1
I hope that it set brightness to our hardware minimum.
I also recommend switching off keys backlight by a script or manual permissions change

LiveOC helps to squeeze 100% from EVERY device
woah another kernel from you already, woot time to flash
The only one supported. Old are totally aborted. I just had to start from a scratch again.
I hope that youtube and kerys will work for usa, not sure
ok so far i been testing international kernel on latest iurnait's cm10.1 , tried vice city on medium graphics and it works pretty smooth, the touchscreen tweaks makes it really easy to control, cpu freq 100mhz-1400mhz, performance as governor and SIO as scheduler are just working great for heavy usage, best performance on my galaxy player so far, good job :good:
@KOala888 you should add instructions on how to configure liveOC so far Ezekeel's liveOC is pretty interesting but it doesn't scale up voltage and it doesn't OC the GPU well
BTW you should add credit for Ezekeel in the OP because he made the liveOC
1 last thing: there's no UKSM in the kernel

There are some accualy
Also, I did everything in hurry, and as you can see I have written that I have to make better opening post in future, so don;t worry everything will be added, like credits But thank you.
Also it isn't exacly ezekeel's liveoc I think. Why it doesn't OC gpu well? Stratosk has voltages scallable, but it is very individual feature. Most often you overclock 1-2 frequencies, not all of them, so not too much to adjust
I will add suggested configurations and voltages in future. I like liveoc because you can get literally maximum performance from overclocking here.
About UKSM, not sure, git doesn't match my HDD repo to well ;c

It is Ezekeel's, he originally made it for the Nexus S and I believe his name is in the copyright for the liveOC file. By bad GPU overclocking I mean that the GPU is barely being overclocked at all (unless it doesn't have GPU overclocking). For example, in my kernel the GPU runs at 229MHz when the CPU is at 1600MHz. In Nenamark2 with my kernel and CPU at 1600MHz I get 33fps. In this kernel I set the liveOC to 115% and set the CPU to 1680MHz and I only scored 30fps.

Well I wouldn't say it is anything related to liveoc overclocking gpu in a bad way. It can be voltage, other kernel changes, toolchain (which I will change too), anything
I prefer hardcoded overclocking, but liveoc gives same performance and you can push it to the limits
And I don't need it to be the best in benchs, I want it to be universal. For me it is the best anyway
In epic citadel I got 41 fps

I hope im not the only one who wants this or i most surely will look like a boob...but is there any chance you could make a kernel like this for gingerbread? Entropy512's is just seeming so outdated after seeing the amazing features in the jellybean kernels . I and i hope some others would greatly appreciate if you just considered creating a gingerbread kernel. Thank you

Okay so with live oc my over clock will increase when needed and remain low when not...
So it's like on demand?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Nope. If you overclock it to 120% then every affected frequency will stay at 120% unless you change it to 100%
Feel free to ask
And about gingerbread, I don't use it. It literally sucks comparing to 4.2.x
So sorry but I can't. Hardware acceleration and many useful features do the thing.
But maybe in future, as an experiment, to see whether it isn't faster while gaming. I already had gb kernel some time ago but discraded.

LiveOC is not automatic, you have to configure it and use it manually. Basically, it allows you to increase the frequencies by a percent between 100 and 150 that you put in. Let's say you put in 110%, then the speed of all the frequencies will go up by 10%, so 1400MHz will become 1540MHz, 1300MHz will become 1430MHz, and so on.

But I included tunable selective liveoc too. So you can choose frequencies to overclock
Than you for help android1234567, btw do you use it? how is it?

Man, these 5.0 kernels are just amazing. The ram, OC, and everything. I'm really hoping that we'll see kernels with these features on the 4.0 sometime soon!
I'm curious, how much of a battery improvement does the LCD UV make? On the 4.0, the display eats tons of battery, tons and tons more than anything else. Wondering if we brought that to the 4.0 that it might fix that issue.
With this kernel every time I turn my screen on it doesn't come back on

In NSTools in cpu card you have values like OC target low and OC taget high. If you choose for example 800 and 1200 then every frequency from 800 to 1200 will be overclocked

Wish I knew the exact answer to all those questions. Its my first kernel and im still learning...
Simple GPU im not sure I just know throughout having it its given me better performance.. from my use and experience.
Wheatley from what I know id similar to ondemand but focuses more on battery life.
Uksm is a performance enhancement for the kernel overall.
Theres a thread somewhere on xda that has details for these. I'll look for it in a feq and add a link to it.
Sorry I didnt have details for each though. Still a n00b lol
That's cool, thanks for the reply

UKSM stands for Ultra KSM :: A page (as in memory page) merging algorithm used in linux servers (and desktops...and also KitKat) that merges identical copies of page memories.
So if you have 2 processes that occupy some memory that is identical, instead of using 2x the memory, UKSM will merge them and replace copies with pointers.
It means it makes common processes use less RAM

WheatleyX! Now you can customize the max screen off frequency like Imoseyon's ondemandx and interactivex.
I may remove conservativex by Jamison and add back the default conservative and make that conservativex.
Gonna be working on that today peeps.
Still looking into the led fade notifications. The original one i added picked from the S4 didnt work.
Anyone know a kernel app that allows led control? Not like color control but the blink times and stuff. I got full LED controls implemented, but dont see a kernel app that allows the control. TricksterMod i dont think has it.
Also what about mdnie controls. Got the display color customizations implimented but cant properly test it for the Note 3 yet because there isnt an app that will allow me to change it.
Any suggestions?
MAC Kernel
Figure I might as well release this now before L is here.. This is for kitkat. I will update this kernel for L once source is available and features are updated.
Flash stock kernel if you are coming from a kernel with its own ramdisk also make sure there are no conflicting files from previous kernels. (init.d scripts, etc, etc)

Forgive my ignorance but since ramdisk edits are done during flash with the work with aosp/cm11 based ROMs. As well as Hybrids like Vanir?
Didn't see that mentioned in detail and with shout outs to savoca, flar ,myfluxi, and codeaurora, I thought that might be the case. Thanks
Just double checking is this for lpx13d? Or older L preview builds?

Battery life has got nothing to do with the kernel. It's has to be an issue with a specific "badly coded" application you are using. Install BetterBatteryStats and figure it out.

A kernel won't really help. All a kernel does is interact between hardware and software. If you have no good signal in the city, that is what is eating your battery. A cell will practically kill itself to maintain the weakest of signals. Kernels can make a difference when your phone is idle, but if you're actually using a phone the things that affect battery life are screen brightness, signal strength, and how much data you're moving. A Kernel won't, I don't believe, make a lot of difference in battery performance.

Introducing the CTTMod
(cpu thermal throttling mod)
Most popular mod for the G3 & G4 now here for the Nexus
Remember always make a full nandroid backup before doing anything
I Am Not Responsible For Anything You Do To Your Device.
Please read entire op before asking questions
Rom & kernel developers please feel free to include in your work. Just please give proper credit thanks
Best used in conjunction with an over clocked kernel i.e. elemental x
Working to improve performance eliminate lag along with lowering the core temps allowing your phone to continue to run smoothly after long or heavy periods of use.
Thermal control works by throttling the CPU down to preset frequencies at preset temperatures and is also done in a preset # of steps. Thermals also monitor and play parts in controlling other components like the GPU, battery and a couple of other things.
First let me be clear about one thing
The CTTMod does not turn off thermal throttling. Now the trick of going into the hidden menu and turning thermal mitigation and thermal control on. That does turn off all thermal monitoring and control and I highly advise against ever doing it. You take a huge risk of frying your phone.
What I've done is changed the first frequency bump down of two in the little cluster and left the 2nd stock
And in the big cluster I changed the first and second frequency bump downs of three and left the third stock
I've also increased the temperature at which it resets by 5° in versions 4x
For more info on how thermal works along with how the governor affects performance you can check out my op for the CTTMod for the G3 here
Instructions
1: Do a full nandroid back up
2: Back up your thermal file which is in system/etc ( thermal-engine.conf )
3: Flash mod and wipe cache
4: Reboot
5: In your kernel control app like kernel auditor set your thermal driver to msm thermal or temperature limit SoC temperture limit depending on what you kernel offers
The idea in the above is to make the kernel use the system's stock thermal driver which is the one I modded
I personally also check all cores on
Finally enjoy
One final note this mod and xceed kernel do not work together as xceed has built in it's own thermal control. If you would like to use this mod with xceed kernel you would have to ask the developer of xceed to make a compatible version. Sorry out of my hands.

CTTMod v-3.1
CTTMod-v4
Change log: increased when the CPU resets after it has reached it's max temp, upped from 55°c to 60°c
CTTMod v-4.1
Changelog: increased the frequency of the first bump down in the big cluster
CTTMod v-5
Changelog: Increased the temperature by 2° at which the CPU and GPU bumps down there frequencies (Left the last bump 2 bump downs stock)
CTTMod v-5.1
Changelog: increased the temps of the CPU and GPU first 2 bump downs. CPU now starts throttling at 48°c and GPU starts at 44°c
CTTMod V-6
Changelog: increased 2nd GPU frequency step down and the goal of the experimental part is to lower overall temps
CTTMod- v6.1 revised
Change log: Fixed smoothness and I also modified the thermal hot plugging
Giving the option to use the stock thermal hot plug and still reap the rewards of this mod (please Google or an xda search on hot plug/ing if you don't know what it is before asking)
CTTMod 6.2: Improved performance
* 6- for MM *
* 7+ for nougat only *
CTTMod-V-7 1 Nougat
Updated for the final version on nougat (plus some added improvements)
Fixed and reuploaded
CTTMod 7.2 Nougat
Improved performance
CTTMod 8 over clocked nougat
Increased both big and little clustered first bump down and the GPUs first bump down to increase performance on kernels that can be overclocked to at least 2ghz on the big cluster and 1.7 on the small cluster
CTTMod 8.1 over clocked nougat Increased first bump down on big and little clusters
CttMod-Oreo-stock kernel-v-1

Thanks Rob
Return to stock, pre-releases & governor settings
Return to stock-
Stock thermal
CTTMod 7.1.1 test version
Original thermals taken from the latest build of nitrogen ROM with there kernel
Go here for my CPU interactive governor settings for the best balance for performance and battery
I recommend elemental x kernel over clocked, I/o schedule to deadline and f sync off
Flashed over RR's stock kernel will update

Yay...never thought I'd see this on the 6p...loved it on my old g3...about to test it on Android N...will report back

Everything flashed fine, what temp should I start to see it throttle now?

I haven't changed the temps on this version only the CPU frequency it throttles to, I'm in the process of testing the next version with different temps
The Nexus handles things a bit differently then the g3 so I'm still working things out

Good deal...even an extra 5 degrees would help...this phone throttles at a rather low temp...starts at 50c I think
Great to see Robshr here. Loved your mod on my further g3 and g4. Throttling seems really to be a problem on this phone. So i gonna flash this and report.

Just flashed on n with stock kernel it booted up lol don't know if it worked tho
flashed this on Android N dp3, with elementalX Kernel.
How to confirm this working?
To check go to system/etc/thermal file

I've only got this thermal-engine.conf so did it work on n
The thermal file was original there but when you flash the zip replace the original one with the mod one he only change some frequency in the thermal file he didn't touch the temp

Just what the 6P needs, the throttling kills performance on this phone so much.
This works with any kernel?

In the original OP for G# it says you have to have the thermal-engine-8974.conf file, which the 6P only has thermal-engine.conf, so is that same? Does still work? Not clear on that part. Thanks! Also, I have always kept msm_thermal and core control disabled, I can still do that right? Be disabled still?
