SM-N9208_SEA (SM-N9208_TW reported to work, but no official support)
Watch >>> THIS <<<
FOR BUG REPORTING: Stock UNMODIFIED TouchWiz (TW) 5.1.1 ROM (this means no Xposed or tweaks etc)
Custom recovery i.e.. TWRP
INSTALLATION
If you have systemless root installed, then you must REMOVE it as this kernel will auto-root a proven and stable 2.52 binary into system.
Open SuperSU app
Select "Full unroot" option
Reboot (or flash kernel)
Re-install SuperSU app
Uninstall any CPU control apps, tweaks and init.d scripts etc.
Recommend: Disable or remove KNOX (you can disable with Synapse once kernel is flashed)
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Device Settings:
Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK
If flashing from any custom kernel with Synapse app > Device settings > Applications > Synapse > Force Stop > clear data
If not installed > Install SuperSU from Google Play:
N9200/N9208: unlock your bootloader >> Install and run CROM service unlock app from Galaxy App Store (this will probably wipe your accounts). If you have problems with CROM, try without it !
Boot into custom recovery and flash SkyHigh_kernel____.zip FOR YOUR DEVICE and reboot
After boot:
a) wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
b) Open Synapse
c) Tap "Understood"
d) DO this step so some defaults are set !!
1. tap the square menu button top right hand corner
2. tap the three dots button
3. "select all globally"
4. tap the back button next to it
5. apply

Help and FAQ
THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks
BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:
Code:
1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
NO FAST CHARGE
If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
I will not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Three choices:
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT
OR
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue
Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video (thanks @aldoblaga )
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
Code:
lsmod

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION
The Samsung Exynos 7420 Deep Dive - Inside A Modern 14nm SoC (by ANANDTECH - Andrei)
F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore
http://bgr.com/2015/03/17/galaxy-s6-storage-benchmarks/
STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Battery
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61579949&postcount=202
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

TCP/IP NETWORK SECURITY
* Thanks to zeppelinrox & V6SuperCharger
Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attack
Bump up tw_buckets in case we get DoS'd
Ignore pings
Don't cache connection metrics from previous connection
Don't pass traffic between networks or act as a router
Enable spoofing protection (turn on reverse packet filtering)
Don't accept source routing
Don't accept redirects

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS
* Thanks to @AtLmd Post
Lock screen MUST be enabled (simple screen lock swipe) I don't know why but it breaks the chromecast app's ability to resume smoothly if switched off
Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST
.
Thank you
Does it also work on N920I?
Any download link for testing?

Currently only SM-N920C - my device
Just in the final stages of cleanup >> update Posts #2 & 3 >> release soon.
Other variants :
users will require to post here the latest boot.img for their device and from which firmware build you extracted from.
download from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com (1.5+ GB)
WARNING :
If your device is bootloader locked or similar restrictions, this kernel will not help and most likely end in BRICK
Warranty most likely voided as KNOX 1 flag is tripped.
Mine device is SM-N920C (Thailand) too. I've got it rooted from the thread of Manh_IT and it's randomly reboot 3/4 times a day. Will the issue solved when flash your kernel when it's available. Thanks for your time UpinTheAir!

I would not know about random reboot on your device. I would suggest to factory reset and immediately flashing stock ROM firmware to make sure your device is clean. After setup, flash SkyHigh kernel with Odin (FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS). Test first before making any modifications / tweaks and also before TWRP etc !!
I have no problems yet
v1.0 SM-N920C Initial release
v1.0 initial release for SM-N920-C device
Tested by UpInTheAir with :
SM-N920-C 32GB device
stock N920CXXU1AOH4 firmware
no Xposed etc
no tweaks etc
no TWRP
XDA RULE #1 'SEARCH BEFORE POSTING". Please READ Posts #1-3 BEFORE flashing !!
Have fun

Ok, I flashed on my N920I for testing.
It works without any problems! No reboots during phonecalls at all! With all kernels I tried before, I had them, but not with this one!
Thanks for that great work!!!!
You can definitly use this for N920I also!

Please never quote the full OP ......
Anyway, thanks for posting your boot.img. Maybe you (or someone else wishes to "test" the kernel with your T model ? Just have full firmware ready if it boot loops or lose baseband etc.
If no good, I will then look at a separate kernel (time permitting)

Hey, no problem. Thanks again for the root scripts, although Andrei's method worked too, just saved a little time with Synapse UCI support.
Have still got loads more to do, but I'm running out of time before heading away for the next month ..........
I only have so much "free" time away from family and work
edit: ran out of "thanks" today, 8 is the limit, how stupid !!
Hey. I tested in note 5 tmobile and baseband is unknown thank you for your work tho!.

OK, thanks for the report. I will have to study the source and determine if modem drivers are different or just require some ramdisk adjustments or T-Mobile ramdisk.
Give me a bit and I'll see what I can do
Will you make this for SM-N920P please???!!!

Please check to see if the SM-N920C kernel boots for you and drivers - baseband etc are working. If not, please send me your boot.img. Instructions I gave a few posts ago. Just make sure you have the full firmware package toy flash if it goes wrong.
Amazing
I tested it on my SM-N920I too. No Problems so far. No reboots during calls any more. Anything seems to work. Couldn't find any bugs yet.
Thank you so much for your perfect work.

Working on this kernel is taking many hours almost every day. With a small donation, you show me, that my work is appreciated by you.
If you like this kernel, please donate to me
Changelog:
changelog 02.08.2012:
- bug fix to bln, to prevent kernel panic in some situations (thx to thalamus)
- switched from deep_idle 2 to idle2 (also thx to thalamus)
- updated kernel to linux 3.0.38
- dockaudio sysfs for captivate and fascinate
- automated symlinking from data to system: if one wants to free up some space at /system, without removing an app completely, just copy it from /system/app to /data/sys-parts/app (create the folder if not there), and reboot. during reboot, the app from system gets deleted, and the app from /data/sys-parts/app gets symlinked to system. this is working for almost every app, but i don't recommend doing this with apps, needed for android to work (framework, media provider, settings,...)
IDLE2 can be enabled with the following command:
echo 0 > /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/idle2_disabled
IDLE2 can be disabled with the following command:
echo 1 > /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/idle2_disabled
Stats can be obtained from the standard cpuidle interface, which, for
IDLE2 is located at:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/time
where * = 1, 2, 3
changelog 25.07.2012:
- updated recovery (no "sdcard format"-bug anymore, external sd card is named correctly)
- vibrant: hopefully fixed froyo ril
- jellybean: galaxy s settings working now
changelog 22.07.2012:
This kernel is for use with ICS only, if you are looking for a kernel, running on teamhacksung cm10 build, visit my jellybean kernel thread[/url]
- updated kernal base to linux 3.0.36
- updated "block" to linux 3.3
- readded fiops io scheduler (kept cfq this time)
- updated cwm recovery to 6.0.1.0 (please create a new nandroid, because of possible incompatibilities between old/new recovery)
- compiled with linaro toolchain (gcc 4.7.1) and O3 compiler flags
- made uksm scan less often (save cpu time and power)
- at first boot: only delte init.d scripts created by other kernels
- increased usb write performance
- lowered ram and display voltages a little bit
- fixed some bugs related to devil settings (they should stick now after reboot, if set by one of the devil apps)
- support for scripts in /system/etc/shutdown.d (thx to Efpophis)
all scripts placed at /data/local/shutdown.d or /system/etc/shutdown.d get executed at shutdown/reboot
you can use this, to play a shutdown sound for example.
by default 00shutdown gets created, which plays a music file, when it is placed at one of these folders/places
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
/data/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- disabled some debugging options
- audio (and for fascinate: camera fixes) by Efpophis+
- patch for improving batterie life by CML
- nfts read/write driver built in (for use with usb host mode)
- reverted refreshrate_mod and gpu_oc mod, as both weren't working
changelog 18.06.2012:
- some changes to load balancing
- added ultra ksm (metioned by zach thx for this my friend)
- readded fiops io scheduler (still experimental and could cause instablilities)
- using snappy compression for zram now (2 times faster, but only 2% less compression)
- added the possibility to change zram size (at /data/local/devil/zram_size, with valid values: 50, 75, 100 and 150 (all in mb))
- fixed the applying of user_min/max freq after reboot
- vibrant: fixed gps
- fascinate: fixed nandroid in cwm recovery
what is ksm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_SamePage_Merging_(KSM)
uksm is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage
############# most probably not working (yet)##############
i have added seperate gpu oc from jt1134's galaxy_tab (to switch between 200 and 250 mhz), but i did not get any improvements in antutu...further tests needed
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 250 mhz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 200 mhz), no reboot needed
and also have changend default screen refreshrate from 60 to 56, with the possibility to change it:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (60 hz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (56 hz)

changelog 01.05.2012:
- all changes from cm9 stock kernel (including mount points option)
- some fine tuning to deadline and sio
- Devil Idle: limiting bus/ram/gpu speed to 100 mhz for 100-800 mhz cpu freq, while screen off (automatic mode) or always (permanet), both modes automatically reduce the int voltages of the affected freq by 50 mV
- compiled with swap support
- added stratosk's smooth_ui to lulzactive governor (activated by default)
- rest oc_value to 100 while screen off, and back when screen turns on (combined with devil idle automatic, can't be turn on/off without devil idle)
- added posibility for different voltages while screen off (also bundled with devil_idle, with default settings, stock arm voltages are applied, because of live_oc set to 100)
- added the possibility to set freq limits while screen off (min and max freq)
19.04.2012
- even better fix to selective live_oc (last one (in test kernel) generated some overhead)
- fixed sampling rate of ondemand and conservative (have ported mialwe's/stratosk's sleep multipliers)
- new tunables for ondemand and conservativ
sleep multiplier and tunables:
mialwe and stratosk had the great idea, to change the sampling rate of conservative and ondemand governor while display of. for this, he introduced the sleepmultiplier (in his case factor 3). this means, if you set sampling rate to 20000, it changes to 60000 while screen off, and back, when screen on.
for ondemand and conservative:
i have made this multipliers tunable. proper values are between 1 and 5, because one could want a higher multiplier while screen off, if sampling rate is very low while screen on (higher sampling rate means, less checking for work load --> better batterie, worse performance). with this tunables you get better batterie, without making the performance worse while screen on.
two other tunables: up_threshold_min_freq and responsiveness_freq
the first one is a very low threshold while on low freq (by default 40), to make the governor scale up faster, until the responsiveness_freq is reached.
the responsiveness_freq is set to 400000 (400 mhz) by default. while the freq is below this value, up_threshold is the same as up_threshold_min_freq, and freq jumps to responsiveness_freq, with skipping the freq between the actual one and the responsiveness_freq. (conservative governor does not jump up to this step)
responsiveness_freq can be set to values between 100000 and 1400000
up_threshold_min_freq can be set to the same values as the normal up_threshold.
not tunable: while screen off, up_threshold is set to 95, no matter your other settings, to save more batterie.
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
for lulzactive:
for this governor, i did similar things, but they are not tunable till now.
when screen off:
- inc_cpu_load is set to 90, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- up_sample_time is set to 50000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- down_sample_time is set to 40000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
other changes:
- fix to touchwake from ezekeel, and another fix from stratosk
- upstream fix to compass
- building for i9000B now, too (big thanks to F4k for the hints by pn )
- removed some typos from recovery
- removed some annoying "no's" and "yes" from recovery in misc menu
- fixed wifi mode switch (pm_fast is the one with better signal)
14.04.2012:
- new b versions (only stock ram) changend to 377 mb, VC version needs the 720p fix from my ftp server. cmc version already patched
13.04.2012:
- updated wifi driver
- added the possibility to switch between wifi PM_Fast and PM_Max mode (Pm_Fast = better signal, PM_Max = better batterie, default is PM_Max)
- user interface to disable fsync (this gives more performace, at the risk of data loss on a crash, taken from ezekeel, so it should be ok ), default is off, to be safe
- fixed voodoo color kernels (these have the VC in their names)
10.04.2012:
- added vibrator intensity control (by mialwe), presets can be changend in recovery
- stock ram version now available (348 mb ram), XL (390 mb), XL_bm (402 mb)
- removed 1080 mhz freq for now
- small correction to touchwake
- small correction to selective live_oc (now the low freq really are not live_oc'ed)
05.04.2012:
- fixed bug in selective live_oc, which caused the target high not taking affect to the highest freq, if highest freq equals target high
- fixed another bug in selective live_oc, which could lead to gpu crashes due to overclocking the ram, but not the cpu freq (for low steps)
- added a switch to change between "normal" and selective live_oc
by changing the live_oc mode while using it, live_oc value is set back to 100, to prevent strange things
- added possibility to set max. freq for boot (in recovery). This freq is set until init.d is executeted (it is automatically set to 1000 at this point, to make sure there are no conflicts with other cpu settings from users)
#Already in the last version, but i forgot about it:
- deep idle fixes from stratosk (many thanks)
- added possibility to underclock by using live_oc (limit is 90 now, which means lowering all freq and bus speed by 10%, to save more batterie when really needed)
03.04.2012:
For now there are three different RAM versions:
- stock mem kernel has 379 mb ram, everything working
- "slim ics" (XL) kernel comes with 390 mb, this is breaking playback of some high resolution videos
- XL_BM is coming with 402 mb ram, but breaking 720p
(while flashing the kernel, the modded rom files are also flashed, so you don't need to flash a new rom to get 379 or 390 mb)
-added new frequency: 1080 mhz (1100 does not like live_oc)
- fixed SmartassV2 for live_oc (after changing live_oc value, you have to change the smartass values, too, but then they automatically apply to the live_oc value (although you can only select 800 mhz in nstools (for example))
- touch recovery with custom devil menu (for some reason it takes a few seconds to load the first time, missing virtual keys is a warning, because there are no virtual keys yet)
-fast charge (thx to chad0989 for this), disabled by default.
you also can use the widget from chad (to place on homescreen) to toggle the fast_charge mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...stchargewidget
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
while fast charge is activated you cannot connect as usb device
- added datafix script to init.d (this script is deactivated by deafult. to make it work, you have to creat a file named datafix and placed in /data/local/)
- reworking and cleaning many parts to get more ram, speed, and stability
05.03.2012:

How to:
you can change ram setting by doing the following ( to make these settings even stick after power off, you also have to echo the same value to to /data/local/devil/bigmem):
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you xl mem of 391 mb)
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you bm mem of 403 mb (this is breaking 720p))
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you cm9 default mem of 378 mb)
you have to reboot to make changes work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With setting this, your desired swap mode gets automatically applied at boot time. For swap, you have to create a swap partition at your external sd card before
echo 1 > /data/local/swap_use (for using swap partition on external sd card, you have to create this partition before)
echo 2 > /data/local/swap_use (for using Zram, no other modifications required)
you have to reboot to make changes active. You can't use swap and Zram at the same time

echo 800000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/user_max
both are independent from devil_idle, and get applied when screen turns off
by default 100 and 1000 mhz are set.
values which can be put here are all "stock" freq (without live_oc level) multiplied with 1000. live_oc values get applied automatically.

to set responsiveness_freq, up_threshold_min_freq or sleep_multiplier for ondemand and/or conservative governor, you have to do it like this:
echo VALUE > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/VARIABLE_NAME
and
echo VALUE > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative/VARIABLE_NAME
example:
echo 400000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/responsiveness_freq
echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold_min_freq
echo 5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sleep_multiplier
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
(to disable it for ondemand you have to set up_threshold_min_freq to 100.

Questions and Answers:
Q: What the hell are all these governors?
A: here you should find the answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19846297
Q: What's a good setup for live_oc??
A: No one knows. Every phone is different. It seems like the folling setup is running well for some (many?) users. If you get reboots with it, you have to find the setup for yourself.
if you are satisfied with this configuration, please hit the thanks button of Crack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22194160&postcount=1246

Q: How can I set up swap?
A: Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610835, and especially at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25578231&postcount=83
Q: What is Touchwake? Can you explain it?
A: With Touchwake, the touchscreen still recognices your fingers, after turning off (for a predefined time (NSTools)). For a detailed explenation, take a look at Ezekeel's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239240
Q: How can I make Voodo Color settings been saved after reboot?
A: You have to use Voodoo Pro App, because of changes between Gingerbread and ICS, and only the Pro app is updated till now.
Q: Which is the best IO Scheduler?
A: I think SIO and V(R) are the fastest.
Q: How can I enable DeepIdle/Live_Oc?
A: You have to use NSTools. You find it on market. It's free.
Deep Idle Questions:
Q: How can I activate the deep idle stats?
echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/deepidle/stats_enabled
Q: What's the meaning of TOP=Off and TOP=On when I look at the Deep Idle status?
A: When TOP=Off is used, the best powersaving state is used. TOP=ON will be shown, when bluetooth or gps are running.
Q: In Idle status I only see TOP=On. What's wrong here? I don't use Bluetooth or Gps.
A: You have to flash the modded framework-res.apk, because ICS does not fully deactivate bluetooth by default. Even if you never use it.
Q: Idle Stats only are showing Idle, but no Deep Idle. Why?
A: An App is preventing the use of Deep Idle. At first, you should try closing the cam, running in the background. Also rebooting should solve this problem.
Q: What is fudgeswap?
A:
Setting this to a very large positive number will indicate swap ought
to be fully used as free (and will slow the system down)
smaller numbers will allow you to put some pressure on SWAP without
slowing the system down as much.
small negitive numbers will allow the system to be faster at the same
minfree level.
default is 512 to give a very little bit of pressure to use some swap
but this can be modified at runtime via:
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/fudgeswap
Up and running just fine on AOKP B38.

Cfq is not compiling because of fiops. If you disable it, cfq should compile again.
Of course you can take some stuff. I also do this, for example it took his/yours initramfs for this kernel.

Added Governors --

Scary
InteractiveX
Minmax
Userspace
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
- Superbad
- a "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
- Darkside
- a "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
-Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Added Io-scheduler --
VR io-scheduler - Unlike other schedulers, synchronous and asynchronous requests are not treated separately,
instead a deadline is imposed for fairness. The next request to be served is based on it's distance from last request.
- SIO - Simple IO-Scheduler-
SIO is the default scheduler in this kernel. It is widely-regarded as the best all-round performing IO scheduler for android. It is low on CPU usage and optimized for flash-based storage. From the creator - "Based on Noop, Deadline and V(R) IO schedulers. This algorithm does not do any kind of sorting, as it is aimed for aleatory access devices, but it does some basic merging. We try to keep minimum overhead to achieve low latencies. Asynchronous and synchronous requests are not treated separately, but we rely on deadlines to ensure fairness."
- BFQ - Budget Fair Queueing IO-Scheduler-
From Creators
* Copyright (C) 2008 Fabio Checconi
* Paolo Valente
*
* Licensed under the GPL-2 as detailed in the accompanying COPYING.BFQ file.
*
* BFQ is a proportional share disk scheduling algorithm based on the
* slice-by-slice service scheme of CFQ. But BFQ assigns budgets,
* measured in number of sectors, to tasks instead of time slices.
* The disk is not granted to the active task for a given time slice,
* but until it has exahusted its assigned budget. This change from
* the time to the service domain allows BFQ to distribute the disk
* bandwidth among tasks as desired, without any distortion due to
* ZBR, workload fluctuations or other factors. BFQ uses an ad hoc
* internal scheduler, called B-WF2Q+, to schedule tasks according to
* their budgets. Thanks to this accurate scheduler, BFQ can afford
* to assign high budgets to disk-bound non-seeky tasks (to boost the
* throughput), and yet guarantee low latencies to interactive and
* soft real-time applications.

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

- zRam is not enabled by default unless on CM10 ROM, for AOKP to enable it flash the wedgess-zram-enabler.zip in CWM
- If for whatever reason you want to disable Zram after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram
People will ask so i'll just post it here---------to check if zRam is enabled go to terminal emulator or similar and type
Code:
free
or alternatively
Code:
cat /proc/swaps
Also added CIFS support....
What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it
Please Click Thanks :good:
Phone wont even show the boot logo after flashing this kernel.
Phone wont even boot up.
Hold the power button,phone vibrates (normal) and after 5 seconds,i hold the power button and it vibrates again .
Whyyyyyyy? :crying:

All Kernels fixed, booting and links updated in OP
Thanks to the testers :highfive:
it's just awesome
tnx a lot wedgess
Ok, am trying it, the performance is 5% smaller than that of M66B kernel, battery life need to test further, will see tomorrow and post results. Thanks a lot to wedges and welcome to the forum .
One request i would have though: Could you add the 24 MHz frequency its wonderful for battery life, and in combination with smartassV2 it doesn't compromise performance at all.
Long rebooting (stuck) from Power Menus, I need to press Camera Key to continue
Normally reboot if I execute it from Terminal
^^^ that is a known bug.
The performance (on gaming)is lower than Fxp kernel (only a bit)
But battery saving is very good.

Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Superbad -
A "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
Darkside -
A "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
What else-----
-SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-(both)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).
- Added Cleancache
- Supports ext 2,3
- Updated zRam
- Lzo compression/decompression speed has doubled on average.
- Init.d support
- Fudgeswap
- And much more see changelog in post #2

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.
Show your support for the kernel and my work by putting this in your signature, its only a quick one I done up with my limited time

Thanks but unfortunately the above is no use as it display kernel console message. Only needed for testing before boot. Think I may have fixed it. Will post a test under this post when ready.
If it works I'll fix up 480p version and few other changes. Then add to OP so quicker the better for you guys

Maybe one of you could add me on gtalk / Skype to fix it (send me pm). Better then posting versions with the same problem here
Can Neo users use this kernel for GB couse other version for Neo/V have no working wifi(for GB)
sorry for my bad English!
To the above question NO.

[KERNEL] [SM-N9005 HLTE] [03 July] SkyHigh TW Kernel [v3.3]
THIS PROJECT IS NOW ABANDONED DUE TO MY OTHER COMMITMENTS FOR FAMILY, WORK & OTHER DEVICES IN XDA. THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY. SEE YOU ALL AROUND XDA & HAPPY MODDING !!
N9005 HLTE TW supported only. (No S5 ROM port. Newer ROMs based on NFx firmware may not be compatible )
I don't have time to build and debug for other variant devices I can't test or a ROM I don't use - sorry.
Let get it straight, I am not a real Developer, but I am UpInTheAir, former part time kernel “hack” of SGT 7.7 JB & ICS Kernels. I now share with you my first SELinux TW N9005 LTE Kernel compiled from official Samsung sources.
* I don't pretend to know everything, so if you can be constructive and help out this project, please do so. You will find allot of answers by searching gitHub, XDA and SEARCH Just like I do …......

"WHAT ARE THE BEST SETTINGS FOR BATTERY LIFE"
There are no best settings. User "habit" is #1 cause of battery drain, followed by screen, ROM & apps, modem etc
This kernel is built to be balanced with a good mix of battery whilst keeping performance
Some extra tips to increase battery life without UV:
Synapse:
- Max screen OFF scaling freqency = 652 MHz
- Touch boost high freq = 1574 MHz
- Touch boost low freq = 960 MHz
- Intelli-Hotplug = enable
- Intelli-Hotplug Profile = Eco-Conservative > Eco-Performance > Conservative > Balanced > Performance
- Intelli-Hotplug Touch Boost = Disabled (may cause slight lag if disabled)
- sched_mc_power_savings = 2:Aggressive
- Gentle fair sleepers = enabled
Decrease screen brightness
Use dark wallpapers and app themes
Check your wakelocks with better battery stats app & use Greenify app to stop unwanted apps self starting and running in the background
INTELLI_PLUG PROFILES
Max cores in use:
Eco-Conservative = 2
Eco-Performance = 2
Conservative = 4
Balanced = 4
Performance = 4
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available.
This is due to the implementation of the CPU HARD LIMIT Userspace DVFS lock.
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
WHAT IS THE USERSPACE DVFS LOCK
If set to 1 or 2, userspace_dvfs_lock will prevent userspace (ROM as well as any APP, including CPU controlling apps) to change CPU min/max, that is normal and intended !.
* 0 = allow changes to scaling min/max.
* 1 = ignore (don't apply, but don't return an error).
* 2 = refuse (don't apply, return EINVAL).
Post # 192
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV
If using custom CPU governor > set Userspace DVFS lock to 0
Use SkyHigh defaults
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place (Thanks to XDA) - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
TCP/IP NETWORK SECURITY
Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attack
Bump up tw_buckets in case we get DoS'd
Ignore pings
Don't cache connection metrics from previous connection
Don't pass traffic between networks or act as a router
Enable spoofing protection (turn on reverse packet filtering)
Don't accept source routing
Don't accept redirects
- Further reading:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-kernel-etcsysctl-conf-security-hardening
http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/hardening-tcpip-stack-syn-attacks
AnTuTu CRASHES WITH CPU OC
If OC CPU > set Userspace DVFS lock to 0
Don't OC too much
Don't UV
Try increase voltage to higher frequencies
DO NOT KILL PROCESSES
This feature allows the user to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
When a the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
You can find the [Synapse] folder on your internal sdcard and add one process name per line. Lists updated on reboot.
Max 25 processes
Example only:
Code:
com.ea.games_r3_row
com.quoord.tapatalkxda.pre.activity
BACKUP & RESTORE
If the backup isn't visible, reboot device and ensure for have "synapse boot completed" message. Otherwise synapse won't read the file.
Reboot after applying your new settings
Read "ISSUES" & "SYNAPSE BOOT CANCELLED" above
SEGMENTATION FAULT
I don't believe it's kernel related, but rather busybox
Try uninstall your ROM busybox with this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox and reboot.
Re-flash kernel
Use the busybox that comes with the kernel located in /sbin
Also try to update your SuperSu and su binary if it asks and reboot.
USB KEYBOARD / MOUSE
Base project: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
Required app: USB KEYBOARD
For best results, enable & use Hacker's Keyboard
Steps:
Ensure device USB debugging
Connect device to system via USB cable
Enable in Synapse > USB > USB Keyboard / Mouse >> Enable & apply
Start USB KEYBOARD app

I'll post initial changelog somewhere in due course, but time to get working on v1.1
Reminds me, I'll post a disclaimer...........
Edit: I'll upload a flashable stock boot.img

Your welcome. :good:
Big thanks to the real devs here and hard-working forum members that also contribute to the various features and commits etc !
More to come of this simple kernel yet But don't expect it to be full works. I can only do my best with my limited knowledge and the time I can afford. I just see it as a challenge and share accordingly. Also big thanks to @civato with many of his initial commits and base synapse config.
Cheers,

Screenshots
Added some screenshots :good:
Doesn't cover all options, but users should get the idea
Next release, user will be able to set CPU voltage for individual frequency (as in screenshot). I've kept the Global CPU voltage control in case user prefer that.

If you're going to post in development section with a percieved "bug", please in future give full details allowing to replicate.
Reflashed v1.0 & tested with Antutu GPU test. GPU OC - works fine. It scales to 550 MHz if load requires. If you want to lock the frequency, set the min to the same as max.
Edit: I use cool tool app to observe "live" frequencies during testing etc
Edit 2: I believe (could be wrong. Need time to study code) that the GPU may have thermal limiting, reducing frequency under high temp, just like the CPU. This would also be normal.

I just checked and all is good.
I like to keep this project in one place. Great idea by XDA.
Please try again, sometimes the XDA is a little "finicky" to UL, so maybe same for DL too. Refresh your page and try again :good:

Thanks. The kernel is still a "work in progress", and trying to keep it stable but with a number of mods and exposed configurable options.
I'm still not sure if I'll add any custom governors or schedulers, easy to do but the stability of stock is great. Maybe intellidemand though?
I'm away for a few days, so I will try and add some info into post 3 and synapse as I progress with further builds when I return home.
Wifi - use cubic or Westwood plus. Edit: Maybe I'll look at adding option to use Google dns server, tcp speed tweaks etc from V6SuperCharger.
Personally, I haven't yet had to tweak the LMK minfree values on Note 3 (unlike my Galaxy Tab 7.7 with 1GB RAM and multi-window mod). It's just got so much RAM and great multi-tasker. I haven't got around to playing with entropy values either. A lot of tunable values are just exposed so if user "wants" or "needs" to tweak, it's there anyway.
There is a lot of info on the Internet that can explain things better than I ever will or pretend to understand. In that case 99/100 times I leave the values at stock.
My personal value for randomize VA space =0. Supposedly helps with GUI smoothness. ..... Somethings are hard to tell or placebo.
I've got lots of things on the "to do list", Enjoy v1.3 and beyond

Installation
Step 0
This step is only needed if your Android version is lower than 4.
If you have already Android 4.1.2 or even 4.4.x installed, then go to step 1.
Update to the latest Samsung stock ROM 4.1.2 with ODIN.
Make sure your battery level is at least 70 % before you proceed.
I'm a noob, please show me more details:
Download needed files for Windows (for other OS, please search the web):
Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones
odin3_v3.07.zip offline flasher
Stock ROM
For the GT-I8160 you need:
I8160XXMB4.zip (3-parted)
and
ONE-I8160XXNF2-20140930142454.zip (Latest stock ROM)
For the GT-I8160P you need:
CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXLK2_CL1211774_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_XLK2_4G.zip ( first 3-parted)
and
CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXME1_DBT_1106830_REV00_user_low_ship.zip (second 3-parted)
and
DBT-I8160PXXMG2-20130820164646.zip (Latest stock ROM)
For the GT-I8160L you need:
GT-I8160L-3parted.zip (3-parted)
and
PGU-I8160LUBMK2-20140603151522.zip (Latest stock ROM)
After you've downloaded the needed files and you've unpacked and installed the Samsung USB Driver, you can proceed wit the upgrade.
Note: All your data will be deleted, so it's recommended to backup some important files to your computer, including the content of your sdcard.
First of all, export all your contacts to your ext-sdcard. Later you will need this file in order to import your contacts into the new ROM because the new ROM CM11 has a small issue that it can't read SIM contacts.
Now copy the exported contacts to your PC and then format the sdcard as FAT32 if you can, if you don't know how to do that, it's also (for now) enough to simply delete all files and folders from the sdcard.
Unpack Odin3_v3.07.zip and open the program inside, it's: Odin3 v3.07.exe
Unpack the ROM, for example we unpack the ROM: I8160XXMB4.zip for the GT-I8160 which is a 3-parted stock ROM.
Well, now power off the phone and remove the sdcard.
Press and hold at the same time: volume down + home + power button.
The phone will boot directly to "Download Mode", now press "Volume +" to enter "Download Mode".
Connect the phone with your PC with the USB cable (important: during flashing don't turn off your pc or phone, also don't touch the phone or the USB cable)
Your phone should be recognized by ODIN .. you can see this in "ID:COM"
if not, then the USB drivers for Samsung mobiles are not properly installed !
Don't change the check boxes !!!
Now load the *.tar.md5 files as follows into ODIN:
PDA = HOME OR CODE (*.tar.md5)
Wait until the MD5 check is done and proceed by adding the next package in ODIN.
CSC = CSC (*.tar.md5)
PIT = *.pit File (the checkbox Re-Partition is now checked )
Before you press "Start", make sure everything looks like this:
For 3-parted stock ROM:
http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/GT-I8160/General/odin_3parted.png
For latest Stock ROM:
http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/GT-I8160/General/odin.png
Finally press "Start", be patient ... this takes around 7 minutes.
The phone will reboot several times. When you see the pad for entering the SIM PIN ... then the (3-parted) ROM was flashed successfully and you can now remove the USB cable and reset ODIN and you should flash the next ROM with ODIN which is:
ONE-I8160XXNF2-20140930142454.zip (Latest Stock ROM)
flash it exactly like the 3-parted one, with the difference that it's only one file to add in ODIN .... see the screenshot "For latest stock ROM" which is odin.png.
Step 1
Download required files and copy them to your micro sdcard without to unpack them:
Temp_CWM_6.0.2.8.zip to your sd-card, do not unpack it.
CM11
A2N Kernel (choose normal version, or if you want to increase the space for apps, then choose "sdcard_only", but you need micro-sd-card and you should perform re-partition - very easy - step-by-step)
Optional re-partition:
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout_sdcard_only.zip (for sdcard_only version) OR
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip (for normal kernel version):
gapps (required for Google Play)
Choose ARM - 4.4 - pico
OR
if it's no longer available, then use this version from FTP-Server
Swype_fix.zip
Explicit for GT-I8160P, download GT-I8160P_Support_Vx.x.zip
Explicit for GT-I8160L, download GT-I8160L_Support.zip
Step 2 (only required if your device has no cwm recovery)
Flash a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_ODIN.tar with ODIN in order to have CWM recovery or boot to stock recovery in order to flash temp_cwm.
Step 3 (optional)
Increase the available space for apps from 1,2 GB, up to 3 GB !
More Informations about the repartition: Post #3
This step is optional, so if you don't plan to install a lot of apps you can skip this and go to step 4.
flash cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip
OR
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout_sdcard_only.zip
press several times the soft back-key, then tap
"advanced"
"power off"
boot again to recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /storage/sdcard0 as "vfat" [it's like FAT 32]
Go back and "wipe data/factory reset"
"advanced"
"power off"
Boot to cwm
Go to step 5
Step 4
"mounts and storage"
"format /system"
format /storage/sdcard0 as "vfat" [it's like FAT 32]
Go back and "wipe data/factory reset"
"advanced"
"power off"
boot to recovery
Step 5
flash CM11 (GT-I8160_Support.zip already included)
in addition for GT-I8160P (for the NFC model):
flash GT-I8160P_Support_Vx.x.zip
in addition for GT-I8160L (for the latin version):
flash GT-I8160L_Support.zip
Flash latest kernel:
a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_4.4.4_sdcard_only.zip
OR
a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_4.4.4.zip
Flash open-gapps
Finally flash Swype_fix.zip
Reboot system now
Be patient, it takes around 5 minutes for the first boot.
DONE !

Changes After the Repartition
cwm_cm11_partition_layout_sdcard_only.zip
The total space from sdcard0 will moved to /data - so that's why a real sdcard is mandatory here.
/data is 3 GB for apps - max. possible!
No problems with apps installations
No wasted space !
cwm_cm11_partition_layout.zip
sdcard0 will be added with 1 GB size... and you're able to use also micro-sdcard (sdcard1)
/data is 2 GB for apps.
No wasted space !
For reference purposes, the original partition layout has following setup:
sdcard0 is 1,1 GB
/data is 1,2 GB for apps
Some wasted space and too low free space for installing apps.
How to Disable EOC(end-of-charge) BLN(backlight notification) for LPM(offline-charging) + Recovery
Open "FileManager" ---> Settings ---> "General settings" ---> access mode --> "root access mode"
go back and navigate to the root "/" open the file "user_lpm.rc" and check the content.
The same procedure is for "user_recovery.rc" if want to disable it as well in recovery mode.
Also there you can do other things like enable/disable sweep2wake or change the lcd brightness for LPM or recovery.
FAQ
Q: Is this Kernel 100 % Safe ?
A: Yes.
Q: Will this Kernel Overheat the Phone if I use Highest Settings ?
A: No, you can't do anything wrong. Your phone has hard- and software overheat protection.
Q: How to Revert all Changes Made by this Kernel ?
A: Flash latest 3-parted stock ROM with ODIN.
Q: How i can Tune this Kernel ??
A: Everytime you install or update this kernel you will face an red (demo) app "A2N Kernel Control..." open this app, and it'll redirect you to Google Play to get the full version (blue app).
Q: Can i use and Tune your Kernel with other Kernel Manager Apps ?
A: Yes, but you need first to unlock kernel with the A2N app full version.
Q: I've Installed the Full Version of the App, Will it Change any Kernel Settings by Default if i do not Change them ?
A: No, default app settings = default kernel settings.
Q: I've the Full Version of the A2N Kernel Control App, Do i still need the Demo Version of the App ?
A: Yes, there are some special features in-app-menu like "Fake Enforce" and debugging features for easy bug reports.
Q: How to Charge from 10 % to 100 % In just 1 h ?
A: E.g. set "AC Current Max" and "Maximum Charging Temperature" to the Max.
Q: Can i use your Kernel Control App with other Custom Kernels ?
A: No, it's not universal kernel manager app.
Q: My A2N App shows: "Please check your internet connection" - But i've good internet connection. - How to fix it ?
A: Settings --> network settings --> use private DNS server like "dns.adguard.com" - confirmed to work by user @Arnz09 - see his post here.
Q: My A2N App is Crashing after an Update, how to fix it ?
A: Re-install it. If it doesn't help, wipe dalvik-cache in recovery.
Q: How to Report Bugs ?
- Please DO NOT report bugs if you are:
--- using "unsafe" Freqs
--- not using the latest release !
--- not using Samsung stock ROM (based stock ROMs are custom ROMs !)
A: Open the red A2N Kernel Control demo app and check in-app-menu (3 dots) then "Debug" and then on "logcat and dmesg" if you faced an app crash or if some features didn't work.
If the phone rebooted randomly, then tap on "last_kmsg". You will find the logs in your internal storage. After that you can attach them here in your bug report, by clicking "Attach files".

Any download links for kernel?
Nice to have another kernel. Is it really stable yet?
where is build 27.10? I cant find it, only build p1 for now.
I'm actually writing in the Thread.. sorry..... Downoad link added.
20141028 Version, shall be the first very stable Kernel Version.. because of CPU / GPU Stock Voltages and freq.
10/27 never exists.. and 10/28 I'll upload it in 1 Hour....
Please be patient.. let me finish writing the Changelog..
Hi @ace2nutzer!
First of all, thank you very much for your work!!
Can you explain how to install kernel and ROM?? (i've never flashed a kernel... i have no idea...)
The Procedure is the same like Rox's CM11 ... just download the right Kernel / Build / ROM.. and copy this in your sdcard1 ... do not unpack it.. as .zip is fine. Then turn your Phone Off... And press together till it will vibrate: Volume up + Home + Power.
Chose now:
Wipe Cache
Go advanced
wipe dalvik cache
go back
install zip from sdcard
install zip from sdcard1
choose the Kernel and flash it..
go back and reboot system..
That's it !
If u like clean install, then choose wipe data instead of wipe cache ! But all your apps and settings are gone.
If u are running CM 11 .. then wipe data is not needed... even if u like to flash my ROM Builds... wipe cache and wipe dalvik is enough... but if u have 10.1 or 10.2 .. u need to wipe data first !
PS: Kernel for codina and codinap 20141028 online !!!!!!!!!!!
Another Great Kernel for Ace 2. NUFF SAID!
Keep it up ace2nutzer. Good job.
@ace2nutzer I cant falsh new build, because I cant go to cwm, I use p1 kernel from you and cant go to cwm, always blackscreen.
did u stuck at samsung boot logo ??

No, just cant go to cwm, I get blackscreen. My device boot normally.
diference ?
what is the main diference between 3.2 and 3.0 that you make ?
how distinguish these two kernels ?
BTW we evolve so no need to make kernel for 4.3.x because all apps are optimizing for 4.4.x OS slowly so more need is to work on kernels I appreciate that ...
Will there be ART support in kernel ? so we can later adapt L 5.0 ?
Could you also include OndemandPlus governor? Its best on Galaxy Nexus devices. May be here as well.

Ok.. I' don't have this Problem... perhaps it is related to the famous s6d Driver
I've builded a odin Version for u.. it is the same kernel ----> 10/28 .. flash this with odin.. and tell me if u can enter in CWM...
I've uploaded it for u.. : codina_kernel_ODIN_cm11_20141028_ace2nutzer.tar - 10.99 MB
If not, i can do nothing.. but don't worry.. i can always do separate Odin Kernels.. then u can flash at this way my kernel updates.
An another way is over ADB... just check also if u have access with ADB.... just boot into CWM.. and even with black screen.. connect the Phone and start ADB.. try if u have access... u can do all the things with ADB.. that's all the same.. and u can even wipe cache and dalvik cache with FileManager.. all no problem
Good job @ace2nutzer
Gonna try it as soon as the f2fs support is ready
Is your ROM compatible with f2fs???

btw, if i flash this codina_kernel_ODIN_cm11_20141028_ace2nutzer.tar via odin will this kernel increase counter bin?
I can't enter CWM too. I wrote lots of post about that and no one really care about it.
I'll tell you what happened:
I bought my Ace II, stock recovery works great. I've installed temporary CWM and everything was ok. I've installed old CM11 TC and Nova versions and everything was ok.
When Chrono made his first kernel version with a CWM built in, i had the first black screen issue. Since there, i cannot enter any recovery (CM11 cwm, chrono cwm, stock cwm). Only TWRP works good but it can't mount external SD and i don't feel comfortable with it. I never had screen issue, never had a problem since now.
Solution: it randomly let me enter on recovery, but it's a pain in the ***.
I've tried to format everything, i also installed GB stock with stock repartition, nothing to do.
With this version i've tried lots of time but still cannot enter. Can you try changing CWM version? Maybe a older one, or just a different one. I can test it if you need help.
Actual situation: i've installed this kernel with your CM11, i had some bugs that i can fix formatting some partition, nothing bad. But i can't enter on recovery, so i have to flash stock version with odin -.- I suggest to make a stable version and then focus on those issues, i bet other users have them.
I've tried to flash kernel via Odin... Failed, dunno why
