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)

Yeah I did for evo 3d and evo lte..
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?
Edited: Nvm. Didn't read properly... :/

Thank you very much for sharing your hard work so N5 users have another kernel to choose from.
I have read the OP but failed to spot anywhere that it has kxec-hard boot patch for Multirom.
Sorry if its mentioned and I missed it.

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.

01
Initial release
I am a giant knucklehead - I read "note 8" and didn't pay attention to the model #.
The test was done on a 5110 - I somehow missed the actual model # it was written for.
It does sound like the data reminded emwno about a detail, though.
That said, the restore technique does work (and I didn't softbrick my device.)
Thanks for taking a run at this!
The new boot.img took a really long time to get from initial Galaxy model # screen to the blue and white Samsung logo on first boot.
Wifi not working with the new kernel on first or second boot.
Did in fact boot, though. Antutu thinks cpu metrics are a hair slower than stock, and the UI feels a little slower also.,
A recovery zipfile would be super cool.
I mounted the external sd, then used
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/external_sd/bootrecover.img bs=1M
to backup and
dd if=/external_sd/bootrecover.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1M
to restore and now have wifi again.

Great Job! Now we need one for the N5110.
An observation on the Samsung kernel and OS: for a good bit of time after a reboot, the cores are all running flat out at 1.6 ghz.
The immediate cause is apparently that the device is scanning the internal memory and sdcard and this is a somewhat processor-intensive task.
What surprised me, though, was that after installing cpu usage monitor, only one of the cores was doing most of the work - but all 4 were running at 1.6 ghz for a lot of the time.
Hopefully I'll be restarting less this evening and can look to see if this is true in more casual usage. If others are noticing this, it seems like better multicore management by the kernel would go a LONG way to ameliorating the relatively poor battery life.
The device uses the pegasusq governor, which does support core hotplugging, but is either just not that good at doing so or isn't configured to release unused cores very quickly.
I haven't had a chance to compare the settings I have with the explanations in this excellent post on the governor and what it's doing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24233103&postcount=3
I have yet to modify governers for specificds such as battery life and speed. Its scanning because of the intelligent write back, which does the major work faster with all cores at while booting.
I spent some time looking at governor settings last night.
When I finished, I'd used the device for about 5 hours, did 6 reboots and a number of benchmark cycles and had gone from 90% charge to 45% charge.
So if that holds up, I'm getting about 3 hours more per cycle. One thing I noticed: if you run an Antutu benchmark, you may want to reboot your device - Antutu seems to lock all four cores at 1.6 ghz for a long time after it runs.
I landed on two modifications via set CPU:
first mod: set ignore_nice_load =1
"ignore_nice_load - Setting to 1 causes governor to ignore load resulted by nice processes while making scaling decisions. Nice processes are the one i/o scheduler refers to as low priority process.
UNIT: Boolean 1 or 0"
Basically, a process which is nice is one that will get out of the way if I'm doing something else, and I'm not interested in, even for 15-20 minutes, running all four cores at full speed to get it done. It looks to me as if media scanning is a process with the nice flag set.
Second mod: changed freq_step from 37 to 12.
"freq_step - Defines how much as a percentage of maximum frequency, governor should increase CPU frequency each time CPU load reaches up_threshold.
UNIT: Percentage"
As shipped the processors step in giant increments.
Setting that value to a 12% step rate gives me 200 mhz increments, and I see that my processor is spending much more time in the 400-600 mhz range than before,.
I'm probably going to do additional tests with a 6% step rate (100 mhz increments) at some point.
The nice setting emerged from looking to see what was running at boot time and coming across threads on the behavior such as this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994650
I'm happy with the performance I'm seeing in this setup, and happier still with the battery life I'm seeing. Your mileage may vary, of course, but waiting a few milliseconds more for the processor to cycle all the way to 1600 mhz hasn't made the device feel stuttery to me.
Still on my to-do list is getting the cores to up and downshift more independently. The governor tends to let only one core lag the others, so I almost always see three cores at once at the same frequency, even if only one appears to be doing anything.
EMk02 Live.
Just took a run at emk02-5110 - still no wifi.
Bluetooth was fine, boot was speedy.
My tools for looking at CPU reported that the clock speeds available were 50 mhz-1600 mhz.
It seems possible that the high end was truncated at 1600 mhz by chip reporting something inaccurately, and that as a result the low end was also pushed very low?
The kernel seemed just fine aside from no wifi, though!

Only till 1600? I remember adding upto 1800... About the no wifi, flash the attachment and let me know of the result.
Still no wifi.
Clock still tops at 1600 reported.
The attached wifi fix file has scsi_wait_scan.ko in it -- I'd thought that was a filesystem module?
Did it replace anything? I hope not, as it doesn't seem to make a backup of the original?

That is the only module that was generated. thats the stock one. taking a look at source again..
EDIT: try flashing this. built kernel again. (all generated modules added)
Hmmmm
OK, I poked around a bit first on my device and then I extracted /system from the firmware blob, used simg2img and mounted the output in a linux system to get a look at what Samsung delivers.
I did not see a scsi_wait_scan in their flashable system. I found a folder called dhd which apparently relates to networking.
The installed system doesn't use these files, though - is that because Samsung integrates them all into the kernel?
At any rate, I know I won't overwrite anything when I get time to flash now, at least
OK, tried flashing in the boot.img and the files in 2.zip. Still no wifi.
Also, the files in 2.zip are *.ko, the other files are *.so, and in the extract of system, there no .ko files -- is that part of what's what?
To make testing simpler down the road, I also made a flashable boot.img restore file, which folks can get a copy of here

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
2. Tunables
3. Source
4. FAQ
5. Credits
6. Download
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

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

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.

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

I am 100% transparent in this. This kernel is a relatively small amount of my work. I looked at the Linux kernel and took patches for a lot of things and merged it into this kernel for whatever reason I decided. I have merged well over 100 patches from the mainline Linux kernel and I think these patches really do make a difference... you can make that judgement for yourself as well
The difference between my kernel and compilation kernels is that my kernel is not based off of any one persons kernel. I started from scratch on AOSP sources and merged in commit by commit to make sure I got what I think are the best solutions.
The best app I have found for controlling this kernels behavior is FauxClock so I will give you my setup in terms of FauxClock. I if I don't mention a setting that means I leave it stock.
My setup:
CPU:
162Mhz Min - 1512Mhz Max
Governor: Interactive OR Intellidemand for battery
MPD: off
GPU:
400Mhz
Governor: Interactive for performance OR simple/ondemand for battery

Enjoying the kernel so far, running smooth on CM 10.2. But as this is solely a kanger's work, it would better fit into the Android development section because this is anything but original isn't it?

I did make "it" AFAIK this is the only kernel of its kind. There are other merges that are not as complete and don't give proper credit to some of the developers, however I give 100% credit. Also there are other kernels that pull from other developers/ user their interfaces that are still in this section.
Not attacking you, just explaining my logic for having it in this section, if a moderator wants it moved as well I have no problem with that.
i have been running this kernel for a week and its great on battery.
its just as quick as any other kernel out there. Byte did a great job getting all these tweaks in and running smooth. :good:

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

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?

Notes::
For maximum stability. Before I flash each update of my kernel, I go to settings>apps>Kernel-AduitorMod>storage and wipe the cache and data for it for a fresh new setup. I do this because when and if i do add or remove a feature you set on boot and its not there. it may cause conflict.
Starting with Version 1.9. The current rom you're on must have the latest google security patches as of august 2016 in order for wifi to work properly.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is the difference between Upstream and the 3.10.40 version?
A: Upstream (currently 3.10.107) has the latest kernel patches from the Linux kernel upstream updates from kernel.org where as the 3.10.40 is where Google has left the kernel at stock for the n6. Basically it's just updates from Linux Mainline that have fixed issues found in their code. For those that also don't know, Android is a mobile form of Linux and uses the Linux kernel.

Excuse me sir,but i have to ask..
What is different from other kernels,your kernel?
have you done any development for this particular phone?
or just a basic kernel?
im telling you this because i cant find a kernel or a ROM with real development A.K.A coding.
i see that most roms just have features like advanced reboot and framework stuff.
and about kernels i see a lot of overhead,so many choices about tcp congestion, i/o schedulers, cpu governors and stuff,without even explaining what a particular governor has different from the other or tcp congestion choices...
Sorry if this is insulting,will delete asap if you are insulted.
Cheers! :highfive:

Actually there is a whole thread floating around on XDA that explains each governor and what makes them unique as well as I/O Schedulers and TCP controls. Ive put together this kernel with what I feel has the right amount of features needed without over bloating it with them like some and having more than the average minimalist style kernels. Also the more a kernel is overbloated the more chance of bugs you will have as well as it bogging down the overall speed. I do plan on putting some more originality to it like my own governor I'm working on as well as a few other features ive had planned for the future. The biggest thing is stability first and I try to achieve that as much as humanly possible while still getting the best speed, battery life and user experience possible. So whilst currently it has what others have seen here and there ive also spent days finding that right sweetspot of what's been needed to achieve that in the huge world of open source and not just including what's specific to nexus 6 only. I did have a ROM out at one point back in lollipop but has not been around since...that did have originality to it. And will again possibly in the future. Ive worked on and maintained for a few separate devices in the past and was more well known for those older devices. Sad to say besides those few ROM builds I posted last year. Ive been absent in the public scene for about a year total lol. I needed that absense and hiatus away from here for quite a few reasons. I'm one of those ones that's chill and not a "insert bad word here" haha. To simply put it Android is a very fun hobby when no drama is around. And I enjoy sharing my hobby

Sure. I further tweak it with what's available for best use for how I use my phone. I'll also gladly share how I have it set up personally

well said..
First of all,im sorry for my post, i sounded like a ***** who cries for the best rom and kernel..
I dont know very good english,my native languange is Greek and im from the poorest families you can find in Greece. my very first android smartphone was the international Galaxy S3 EXYNOS and since then i found myself very passionate about android,hold this in your mind-EXYNOS.
this phone was my everything ,i used it to even watch tv and movies on the royal navy that i served for 1 year..and i just became very addicted to XDA and the community in general..
That time,HUGE things going on (development and coding wise).
we had some developers that-i dont know why (they had the money to purchase something better)they loved this phone.
in particular JustArchi..
so much dedication for one phone..
he even booted LINUX inside android via a custom app he coded.
so much optimizations
so much care to the community..
it was a blast..
BUT it just seems i cant find this ecosystem and dedication and above all the excitement from developers to do something different instead of just Blisspop ressurection remix blazing fast rom SUperduper fast etc.
it is the originality that bothers me in this phone.
and im so jeallous i cant code by my self because i wanted to be software engineer but i dropped school with good grades to go to work and contribute to income (money) to my family . (my dad is not in family,and i didnt talk or see him in years)
Anyways,to the topic,it would be nice to see something different!
keep it up,dev.
:good:

Take your time. It's just a hobby so...
BTW: the kernel works on stock and CM based?

Awesome good to see your kernel again Rev3nT3ch, always room for a good permissive kernel.
