nobleltehk n9200 dual sim kernel built from n9200ZHU1AOI1 sources
##################################################
and as of Dec 10th 2015.. i've released n9208 version!! based on OKA sources (tested on OJ3 rom)
##################################################
Old Project with SELinux Permissive hardcoded
Version 1.0 -roots device, installs supersu & synapse, sets selinux to permissive
(*) Version 1.1 - adds exynos universal power controls for undervolting, hpm auto adjusting voltages and power optimizations
(X) Version 1.2 - Apollo is now underclocked to 200mhz and overclocked to 2000mhz, Atlas is overclocked to 2.5ghz. Both allow undervolting to 400mv (probably unstable for everyone but the ability is there.. I run a53 200mhz at 475mv) (this version will bootloop unless you have a synapse config saved to lower the max frequencies allowed)
(*) Version 1.3 - Fixed issue with interactive governor scaling to unsupported overclocked frequencies,
the kernel now sets the default shipped frequencies to the interactive governor upon reboot. If you override in Synapse then it will override those upon boot.
Enabled the following governors: Conservative, Ondemand.
Synapse can now change governors on both cpus.
(B) Version 1.4 - updated busybox, removed conservative and ondemand governors (interactive is what you want to use, as it fully utilizes the big.Little architecture), returned governor frequency policy to stock settings, but still generate the full freq and volt_table to all under/overclocking that was supplied in sources. Some optimizations to power scheduling, changed ramdisk compression to lzo.
(X) Version 1.5 - removed kernel is not SEANDROID enforcing message on boot, added row scheduler, set row to default I/O scheduler, synapse can override this.
I am starting this project over... thanks to @garyd9 for the Enforcing with root threads that prompted me to do so. :good:
Changelog:
(*)Version 1.0-Enforcing
REBASE kernel back to OI1 Sources
RETAIN SELinux Enforcing by patching sepolicy with SuperSU-2.49 -- thanks to @Chainfire for his work on su/sepolicy
ROOT system by installing SuperSU-2.52
100% Stock Samsung compiled kernel with ramdisk modifications to fstab, sepolicy, init, /res and /sbin, and init.rc fix deep sleep service call
Adds Synapse for configuration of options
(*) Version 2.0-Enforcing
adds exynos universal power controls for undervolting, hpm auto adjusting voltages and power optimizations
CPU Frequency range for Apollo 200mhz-2000Mhz
CPU Frequency Atlas 800mhz-2496Mhz
CPU Voltage range for Apollo 400mV-1175mV
CPU Voltage range for Atlas 450mV-1125mV
Adds row as scheduler
Adds support for tweaking Memory, I/O
Tweakable Cache Scrolling
SELinux Toggle built into Synapse(every boot reverts to Enforcing)
Kernel default.prop uses FHA instead of DHA (remove any dha line you have from build.prop)
EDIT: After 45+ hours (chose to reboot at 70 hours to continue flashing) of -100mv undervolt and 2.4ghz overclock (actually in use) I am very happy to mark 2.0 stable

}
(*) Version 2.2-Enforcing
2.2 changes only two things, it fixes the backup/restore profile bug and it reverts the MDNIE controls because you couldn't select anything but adaptive with 2.0
Installs sqlite3 to /system/bin
Modifies all the ramdisk scripts to give the end user the option on his implementation of busybox while still retaining all functionality for users who just flash and go.
In other words... busybox is installed with the kernel on each boot to /sbin however all kernel features that are loaded by script attempt to check for /system/xbin/busybox and /system/bin/busybox.
If you want to use an alternative version of busybox, just install it to /system/xbin or /system/bin and the kernel will stop using the /sbin busybox and use your custom installed one (do not have the busybox application remove the version of busybox in /sbin on each boot)
(B)Version 2.3-Enforcing
optimizations to battery efficiency, CPUIdle, hmp task packing, c-state residency
lz4 compression added, zswap is lz4 compressed
note* 2.3 will say 2-2 in Synapse as I forgot to update it there, you can confirm you are on 203 by looking in About > Device > Software Version > Kernel Version, I always set the build # to equal the version num. 2.0 was #200 2.1 was 201 3.5 will be 305, as only a valid number is allowed in this field.
(B)Version 2.4-Enforcing
Added Arizona Audio Controls in Synapse
The controls use the audio SoC's integrated hardware equalizers to allow fine tuning of the headphone jack port, per channel
Fixed a bug (in the installer) where if you already had SuperSu installed on your system (regardless of version) it would not update it, and thus not boot for anyone who has SuperSu version < 2.52/ The install script now does an md5 on supersu if it finds it and installs if it doesnt match the official 2.52beta supersu.apk
(B)Version 2.5-Enforcing
Install Instructions:
Install TWRP or other recovery
Flash Kernel
If you have never flashed my kernel or an selinux enforcing kernel then flash
SuperSU 2.52 or newer found here
Fixed bugs related to users who havent rooted yet
Fixed bugs related to busybox and uci
CONFIRMED: Working with OJ9 Bootloader and System
(*)Version 3.0-Enforcing
Install Instructions:
Install TWRP or other recovery
Flash Kernel
If you have never flashed my kernel or an selinux enforcing rooted kernel then flash
SuperSU 2.52 or newer found here
Changelog:
Patched Linux from 3.10.61 -> 3.10.92
Fixed all compile-time issues with the linux paths and there was lots
Add a few commits related to Kernel cpuidle and power management
3.0 is marked stable.
(B)Version 3.1-Enforcing
Install Instructions:
Install TWRP or other recovery
Flash Kernel
If you have never flashed my kernel or an selinux enforcing kernel then flash
SuperSU 2.52 or newer found here
Changelog:
Dynamic FSYNC
Added Frandom Char generator
Recovered 2megs of space in the kernel so now:
we are able to use LZOP compression for the ramdisk which decompresses faster during boot
the busybox included with the kernel is all you need, can still choose to ovverride busybox if needed
HMP optimizations
3.1 is released, OJ9 sources were released by samsung overnight rebase will happen for next release
(B)Version 3.5-Enforcing
Changelog:
Rebased kernel onto N9200ZHU2OJ9 sources. VERY happy to see this source delivered to me by samsung OSRC in record time, 4 days.. from my request to receipt of request (next day) and then downloadable it took me over a month to get the canadian s6 sources... and two weeks for them to even acknowledge so.. this is huge, and the fact that we are already on J9, n9200hk firmware release has been steady released every month (Aug was OH4, Sep was OI1 and Oct was OJ9) for samsungHK so as for rumors I have previously read that said this phone wasn't getting support.. it appears very much otherwise.
Enabled DNS resolve support
Enabled WiMAX broadband support (untested yet but my provider definitely supports the boosted speeds and I noticed they were gone so im pumped to see this was default disabled)
Enabled Bluetooth HIDP protocol
Enabled Bluetooth BNEP protocol (pan network)
Enabled Bluetooth usb support
Atheros Firmware downloader to upgrade Bluetooth chipset
CAN bus support for hooking up directly to an OBD port of a vehicle
Enable FM RADIO
Enable support for usb mice(and apple magicpad), usb dongle keyboards, and gamepads (logitech, microsoft sidewinder and xbox) to be used on phone with usb
Enable using your phone touchscreen as a mouse for your computer
Enable MHL hdmi over usb driver && MHL HDCP
Enabled support for USB DisplayLink drivers for external usb videocard to export to another monitor
Enabled VIRTUAL SOCKET SUPPORT!! aka allows your phone to be seen by hypervisor and or v/ms when plugged into usb
<-- woot, now I can use adb directly from my ubuntu vm
Enabled many TCP algorithms
Attempting to enable additional nfc protocols (maybe secure nfc and encrypted nfc support) may also break nfc.. TESTING
Enabled USB OTG Mode
(*) denotes stable version (I won't mark it stable until my daily driver goes a full 24 hours without a reboot with my undervolted underclocked configuration)
(B) = Beta version, pending feedback
(X) = bugged version (zip should be removed)
(WIP) = work in progress, eta TBD
Order of busybox utilized by Kernel
If /system/xbin/busybox exists this is used over /sbin.
If /system/bin/busybox exists this is used over /sbin.
If /system/bin AND /system/xbin contain a busybox the kernel will use the /system/bin/busybox
If for any reason Synapse stops working or any other undesirable effects are noticed once you install a custom busybox just remove it and reboot, the /sbin busybox will take over again.
**please note: You need to install a custom busybox that contains the tar applet (to system/bin or system/xbin)
Using the backup profile tab:
Taking a backup:
1. Open the tab, type memorable name into the Profile/Config Name: I used neg100
2. Hit checkmark up top to apply that name.
3. Hit Backup Current Profile
4. Get a message about tar file being created
5. Reboot your phone to make it show up in the list.. (not necessary until you want to restore)
6. Synapse will now display that new tar in the list of backups
Restore profile:
1. Open the backup profile tab, select your newly added tar file in the selected profile section (first one)
2. Press checkmark to apply the selection
3. Hit restore selected profile
4. Unfortunately Synapse has stopped (THIS IS EXPECTED)
5. Reopen Synapse
6. You will now notice that (similar to a 2 min reboot, or restoring the values to default) a bunch of the settings have temporarily been changed and Synapse gives you the option to hit X (and keep your BACKUP RESTORED SETTINGS) or push Checkmark and keep the settings you had BEFORE you restored the backup in.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER FLASHED ANYTHING ON YOUR N9200 YET
PLEASE READ!
We have a LOCKED BOOTLOADER
The following MUST be done to start flashing:
Open galaxy apps and search for CROM Service , you will find this apk its an official bootloader unlock from samsung, *IMPORTANT* as soon as you use this ap. you void your warranty and submit your imei to samsung, you also upon NEXT REBOOT will lose all your GAPPS AND any app you downloaded via playstore on that account!
IT IS possible to save it all. Heres what I did:
1. Install CROM service apt from galaxy apps
2. turn on Developer options > OEM UNLOCK
3. run CROM Service to unlock bootloader
4. reboot to download mode, flash twrp 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me/devices (the noblelteh dual sim one)
5. take full backup of data, radio, efs, boot (don't even bother backing up system)
6. reboot device (gapps gets wiped and apps are gone)
7. reboot to download mode, reflash stock odin tar of same system version(i used OI1)
8. reboot to download mode, reflash twrp recovery
9. reboot to recovery, restore data, backup system, reboot
10. you have your system back with gapps and every other app back to how it was before you CROM unlocked and lost gapps
11. flash kernel with root and whatever else you want do with your phone
If you dont flash twrp and take a backup of your data right after you crom unlock you will lose your data related to any app downloaded from playstore.
Q&A: How do I configure this kernel?
Q1. What are all these options in Synapse? how do I make my phone better with this kernel?
A: Using provided voltage controls and synapse (written by Andreilux) one can tweak the voltages of the cpu to get maximum efficiency out of his SoC.
Q2: Is undervolting bad for my phone?
A: Absolutely NOT! Is there risk? (see Q2.) In fact, it can be better for your phone then leaving it with stock voltages, which may be overdoing it and causing your phone to double as a hand warmer
Q3: Is there risk?
A: Yes of course there is always a risk you fry your cpu, however the cpu itself is guarded to protect that from happening by forcing a kernel panic and rebooting the device. You are pretty safe to play around a few reboots wont hurt you.
Q4) Why should I undervolt? Doesn't sammy know whats best for my phone??
A: LOL. C'mon now, lets be real, sammy wants one thing, your $$$ and the only thing they care about when it comes down to setting voltages is one number, a %, the % of devices that pass and aren't considered a defective SoC. Essentially, (not exactly as I have no inside source info) it works like this: When a phone is being tested prior to passing inspection it is driven through a series of stability tests (think antutu) this is used to verify that the device functions properly and the end user doesn't get a lemon, but if they run with a set of voltages labelled A and 43% of the phones tested failed the test, they keep the good ones, mark them group a and then raise the voltages and test again, marking the passing ones in group b etc etc, eventually they pass most of the phones and throw out the bad ones, the asv group file mentioned below shows you exactly which group your device is in, and the "bucket" voltages that it was given from the factory. These are FAR from optimal, they just happened to make your device pass, that means squat as far as im concerned, because your device moight have failed from the better group in only one cpu speed, each step should be tweaked independently. Otherwise, you are DEFINITELY wasting some unnecessary voltage on cpu cycles that inevitably cause your cpu to produce more heat than necessary and overheat itself.
Q5: Ok ok sammy doesn't know best but you DO RIGHT?!?
A: Lol no, I don't, BUUT I do know how to find out the best values!
Q6: Awesome! now that you will figure out the best values I will obviously benefit from copying your config and then im set, best setup ever.
A: No , no no! YOU haven't been reading.. I said EACH phone is unique and has a different cpu, check out your asv file and then use my config as a base and either raise or lower the voltages based on your asv numbers.
Q7: How do I use the backup/restore profile?
A: Read the first post changelog, for Version2.2
For reference my config is going to be pasted here, this config will more then 90% likely NOT be the optimal stable voltages or settings for you, but will give you a reference to understand where you should tweak what and how to gauge that.
First thing you should do is open root browser and open the file
/sys/kernel/debug/asv_summary <-- open this as a text file
or in terminal emulator on your actual device or via adb shell # type
Code:
$: su
#: cat /sys/kernel/debug/asv_summary
this is the result
Code:
big:9, LITTLE:9, INT:9, MIF:9, G3D:11, ISP:9
<- higher numbers in big and little means your chip is better then a lower numbered chip, it uses lower voltages set straight from the factory. Every device is tested to ensure it passes a stability test, if the device fails they try it at a lower asv group or higher voltages until it passes. These "bucket" voltages do not run your phone optimally, they just run your phone.. stable enough to leave the factory.
Thanks for reading.

Hello! I am waiting for another kernel for N9200-HK version note 5 that can be enabled to tweak cpu freq. and cpu governor, I/O etc......
BTW, do you understand Chinese?
Does this support the SM-N9208?
Yup that's exactly what this is Tom.
No I speak zero Chinese

Thanks for letting me know.
Would you mind giving some captured photos of your N9200 that using this kernel? And also the way to change voltage, cpu governor, cpu freq, I/O etc...?
Thanks!
Tom, when you install the kernel, synapse app is added, open this. You will see this
Sent from my SM-N9200 using XDA Free mobile app
When I flashed nobleltehk 1.2 thought TWRP and then my N9200 tried to reboot,
however it could not reboot probably.
The LED light would first turned to red light from blue light, and then turned to white light and the screen showed "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" on the Top-left corner. The reboot process keep repeatly.

Hmm Tom try 1.1
1.2 is working for me but configuration might be needed.
1.1 should boot fine.
Sent from my SM-N9200 using XDA Free mobile app
It says right there above in the quote. It's the stock kernel with very few modifications, selinux permissive, root, synapse and voltage controls the rest is stock. 1.2 adds over and underclocking. However it sets default min speed to 200 which may be why Tom couldn't boot ill reupload 1.2 with the default back to 400 and just the ability to drop it lower. @Tomleungyuethei

You are right. 1.1 is working for me.
For your given information, 1.2 can let me underclock the cpu and I'm hoping I can use it later!
Overall, great work and I'm greatly appreciate for it.
Wish to see further update of this amazing kernel. You can give us your config for reference as well!
For my first try, I decided to undervoltage all 100mV that I can undervoltage and see how's going.
---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
Also, some issues I have just got in 1.1.
1. Synapse still shows 1.0 version of kernel but I am using 1.1
2. I cannot succeed to tweak cpu max freq. Even I tweaked and saved, I still saw max freq. is 1296mhz when I restart synapse. I can see these using Cpu-z as well and the result are the same.
3. I cannot save profit/config properly.
从我的 SM-N9200 上通过 xda Forums PRO 发送
Thanks for detail Tom.
1) I didnt release 1.0 and I didnt update synapse to say 1.1, so you are infact on 1.1
2)It should be holding what you set, try going to synapse > logs > clear synapse data
3)I know and I will get this fixed soon, thanks.
Tom please try 1.3 thanks!
stil working on 3rd issue

THIS IS ONLY FOR TELUS FASCINATE ( SGH-T959D )
I have tried many time to compile without success, so after having a small talk with TK-Glitch, he told me that he already had compiled his kernel for us ^^. So i decided to post here the kernel and his future update.
All credits goes to Tk-Glitch and his team. If you like this kernel, thanks him or give him some money. The only thing i did was to make this thread xD
Do you want to discuss on this kernel, get the fresh news on development, or become a kernel tester ?
Join the IRC channel from your web browser herehttp://irc.shadowcard.net:1337/ ! No inscription needed
Change the channel to #Glitch and you're set.
For those who already have an IRC client,
here is the server : irc.shadowcard.net
port : 6667
Channel : #Glitch
These kernels are provided as-is without warranty. I'm not responsible for any problem you can encounter with your phone or if your cat suddenly dies.
Although, don't expect support even if I will eventually help since I love cats.
Note : These kernels are only compatible with CM7 and MIUI roms !
Overview :
- Up to 1.7GHz CPU OC with added bus/GPU OC (Thanks to morfic for the great base of work)
- Undervolting using Pimp my CPU or Voltage Control
- Voodoo Sound - & Voodoo Color, using VC versions (Thanks Supercurio & renaudallard)
- FPS uncap (Screen running 68Hz instead of 60Hz, from 56 to 66 FPS max) from JPX source
- Various tweaks for more smoothness and reliability
- LED notifications
CHANGELOGS IN #2 POSTThe frequency/voltage & informative UV settings table is as follow for latest kernel :
Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1700 MHz - [email protected] 243 MHz - 1.500v / -> Most phones will fail here. -25 to -50mV may help to stabilize. Much stabler as unique frequency for benchmarks.
1600 MHz - [email protected] 229 MHz - 1.500V / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - [email protected] 250 MHz - 1.500V / -25mV
1440 MHz - [email protected] 240 MHz - 1.475V / -50mV
1400 MHz - [email protected] 233 MHz - 1.450V / -50mV
1300 MHz - [email protected] 217 MHz - 1.400V / -50mV
1200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.350V / -50mV
1000 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.250V / -50mV - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.200V / -75mV
400 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.050V / -100mV
200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 0.950V / -150mV
100 MHz - [email protected] 100 MHz - 0.950V / -200mV - (can be very different between two devices)
GPU frequency is linked to bus speed
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.
Note : Never ever use SetCPU with this kernel. You could encounter many stability problems like random reboots or bootloops.

Glitch kernel
Telus Fascinate version :
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Low leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Medium leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (High leakage)
OLDER RELEASESFTP ROOT (all kernels are here)
FAQ :
What are the differences between High, Medium and Low leakage ?
All produced chips aren't equal, and some will be "better shaped" than others, using power more efficiently and heating less. This new concept I added in V11 tends to cover most chips, depending on their quality.
The idea is to modify some internal voltage values of the SoC to help a good CPU in a poor environment (GPU/controller/memory) to shine. Of course it won't do miracles if your CPU is poor to begin with, but it's a very rare case.
Low leakage chips are the best on the paper, needing less volts and heating less than others.
High leakage represents the majority of produced chips in our SGS.
I found with beta testers that even if a chip looks poor at OC/UV at first, it'll generally have much potential still. I was able to get a 1.2GHz no UV max stable GS to 1.5GHz -50mV rock solid, and even able to push 1.7GHz for benchmarking and other tests using this new concept.
Of course this is all new and it'll take some time and heavy testing to find best settings for most devices, but I think it's a very interesting thing, and I hope I'll be able to find a way to change modes on-the-fly, making this function a must in the future especially in OC/UV kernels.
How do I enable logcat in V11+ ?
In V11, the logger is now built as a module to lower overhead and to help battery life.
To enable it, just open a terminal emulator and type "logcat-on", then reboot.
To disable it, type "logcat-off" instead. (without quotes !)
I get reboots when I try to load Voodoo Sound module !
This function, available in Voodoo Control Plus app, is ONLY for kernels NOT SUPPORTING Voodoo Sound (like stock CM7 kernel for example). You'll only generate conflicts trying to load this module. Voodoo Sound is built-in on Glitch kernel and nothing more has to be loaded for it to work.

Changelogs :
Changelogs :
V5
19/04/2011 - V5A - Initial release
21/04/2011 - V5B :
- GPU overclock on 1.3 GHz added (217MHz / +8.5% from default)
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM compared to V5A (now 328MB)
- Stability fixes for all frequencies, needing globally less volts. Results may vary depending on the device
- Switched to Conservative governor by default (still switchable by app). It can feel less responsive coming from idle but more battery saving, and plays better with high frequencies.
- New voltage table. Default settings should be stabler for most devices.
- Switched to 4.4.3 toolchain for added stability on some sensitive devices
Captivate and Vibrant support will come later. It will need more time than expected.
21/04/2011 - V5C : Small update to fix a bootloop issue on some devices.
V6
WIP
22/04/2011 - V6pre - preview/work in progress of upcoming V6A update *test* :
- Reverted PMEM settings to new CM7 default (317MB - same as V5A)
- Reverted some stability fixes that weren't that stable on some devices, or even prevented some to boot
- New voltage table for a more linear increase, improving stability at default settings
- Switched to Deadline scheduler by default as it appears more stable
- Back to 2010.09 toolchain for speed and efficiency
- Synchronized with last update from SGS CM7 team
Better to use CM7 04212011 update with this kernel and newer.
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 1 :
- Battery polling bumped to 15 sec (was 1 before), it should help battery to an extent (thanks to Zach for the idea)
- Some internal voltage tweaking to hopefully be more UV friendly
- Bumped USER_HZ for more smoothness
- Another -rare- bootloop fix
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 2 :
- Added some tweaks from V5A for testing
- Resolved a bug generating fake voltage reading
- Resolved a bug on 400MHz step generating instabilities
- Slight changes to the voltage table
- Fixed a typo
- Trying some toolchain switch - again-
23/04/2011 - V6pre - update 3 :
- Corrected Led Notifications - Now it should work properly again !
- Various bugfixes and typo corrections
- Toolchain change once again
- Added new Interactive governor with aggressive settings for even more speed. You need to change it by app (pimp my cpu/cyanogen settings), it's still on conservative by default.
(thanks Zach for your suggestion)
25/04/2011 - V6pre - update 4
- Cleanups on Led notifications to resolve a bug (buttons stopped working randomly for some users)
- More typo corrections
- Voodoo Sound V8
- Various bugfixes on CPU load and schedulers
- CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disabled for speed
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances
- Added a stability fix for voltage change latency when frequency is changing. It should give more stability with high undervolt or big voltage differences between two steps - Please test and report ! (Thanks Zach for pointing that to me)
- Two versions for testing purposes : V6pre-u4 is compiled using GCC 4.5.1 toolchain, and V6pre-u4(alt) is compiled using GCC 4.4.3 one. If you get instabilities on the first one, try the other and vice versa. Please report your findings on that because it was the first stability differences source between my kernel revisions. For information, V6pre-u2 was compiled with 4.4.3, and u3 with 4.5.1.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 5 >> 6
- Name changed from "TkGlitch" to "Glitch"
- Cleanups on buttons (Kangsterizer)
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances in 3D and/or at high GPU frequency - corrected, thanks to Kangsterizer
- Added a stability fix when frequency changes for cpufreq governors
- Tweaked Interactive and Conservative governors for testing
- New Frequency table : 1.5GHz is now the max selectable frequency, and 800MHz and 400MHz steps are now replaced by a unique 600MHz one.
- Changed initramfs source to remove the annoying "E:no misc partition" error in the recovery
- Now bumped to update 6 to fix an issue with the conservative governor.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 7
- New Frequency table : 1.44GHz removed, 800 and 400MHz steps are back.
- Battery polling bumped from 15 to 30 seconds
- GPU power latency bumped from 10 to 60 ms
28/04/2011 - V6A - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New sensors drivers added

- Int voltage lowered for 1.5GHz step because it did have a bad effect on lower frequencies stability
- GPU power latency back to default - but fixed (100ms)
29/04/2011 - V6B - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New initramfs source to fix compass and update CWM recovery
- 1.5GHz replaced by 1.48GHz for stability
- New voltage table as requested by many users (+25mv on 1200 to 1400MHz steps)
- New interactive governor for better scaling and battery life
- New tweaked smartass governor for testing (pretty bad on CPU benchmarks for some reason, please test how it feels in real world use)
- New ondemand governor from Zacharias.maladroit sources for testing
02/05/2011 - V6C - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Small update to merge with 2.3.4 source, no new feature.
02/05/2011 - V6C² - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Update to repair Voodoo Sound conflicts from 2.3.4 merge.
- Back to 1.44GHz max to prepare 1.5GHz return
V7
02/05/2011 - V7A - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge.
- New step for 1.5GHz on top of 1.44GHz (now 9 steps total versus 8 before)
- Forcing 400MHz max when sleeping for added battery life (default = 800). Couldn't detect any side effect.
- New tweaked Smartass governor now default (800MHz min when screen on). Please report your experience
- It seems the smartass governor is not working by default, it will revert to performance >< Please force it to get it to work -> Ok found the problem, I'll update in a min
- Now updated to V7A-2 to fix the governor bug
03/05/2011 - V7B - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge - Again - fully working now
- Fixed sleep of death issue when unplugged

- Tweaked smartass governor more for - hopefully - better battery life and a bit more responsivity
- New voltage and frequency table rewrite as a bonus with now 11 frequencies total
- Stability fixes on 1.5GHz step -> please test and report
- Reverted FPS uncap - at least for now - for two main reasons : more stability on high GPU freqs (1.4GHz and more), and to prevent FPS limit at max/2 (33 when unlocked to 66), limiting overall performances in heavy scenes. I think there's a lack of buffering somewhere.. It will give higher scores on some benchmarks, and lower on others. A better battery life can indeed be expected too.
- Upstream sync
05/05/2011 - V7C - To use with 05032011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Upstream sync (better battery life, reboot recovery, etc.)
- A general stability fix missing from V7 branch added back
- Tiny tweaks on the voltage table
- Big bugfix on the V7 branch (redone from scratch, cleaner)
- Switched to 2011.03 toolchain
- Added some optimization flags, "-mfloat-abi=hard" being one of them (up to 40% performance gains in specific cases)
- Small improvements here and thereV8
07/05/2011 - V8A - To use with 05062011 or newer CM7 build (useable on MIUI RC8 but you'll lose camera - MIUI needs an update)
- Upstream sync (camera fixes etc.)
- More stability fixes
- Cleanups on OC code (found that 1.2 and 1.3GHz were very unstable compared to earlier releases)
- More work on Vibrant/Captivate. The kernels are now available to download but are untested - for now. Feel free to try and report any problem or if all runs well. If I have enough positive reviews, these kernels will be released in their respective device sections.
11/05/2011 - V8B
Upstream sync only :
- USB switch suspend
- TV out stuff
- Fascinate specifics
- Revert "Got back to previous samsung_modemctl" for 05112011 CM7 buildV9
16/05/2011 - V9A
- Merged with the now dead V8C update because of new added features
- Upstream sync : Calculate battery percentage as percent of max capacity reported when battery full, new wifi driver, etc.
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM (now 331MB)
- 1.54GHz step added with some gentle settings for now.
- New step by step frequency switch when scaling down (part of the Galaxy S II port from Bilboa1) - more stability on highest frequencies
- Corrections and further tweaking on smartass governor + some fixes from Netarchy (Nexus S). 400MHz lock when screen is on removed (not needed anymore -> more power saving)
- Higher cache for faster SDcard read speed
- New sleep settings : Effective lock to 400MHz max when screen is off -> fix long wake up/hiccups when playing music or similar use. Be careful with your UV settings on 200 and 400MHz steps to avoid sleep of death problems ! These were not used on previous versions of my kernel (locked to 100 MHz when screen off and locked to 400MHz when screen on with a buggy gap in smartass governor forcing generally 600+ MHz)
- 600 MHz step removed (it was generating instabilities on some phones when jumping to 800 or down to 400 when using UV)
- Some voltage tweaks for added stability on some devices (as always)
- Cleanups on unused/no more needed stuff
- Little surprise, thanks to Morfic
- Updated to V9A² to fix SOD and some performance issues
21/05/2011 - V9B
- Upstream sync (CWM recovery 3.1.0.1, better screen colors (kills voodoo color for now and looks awful on my 0516 build, but should be good on latest), GPIO fixes, samsung modemctl...) + small changes on my side for official CyanogenMod repository compatibility
- Voodoo Sound updated to V9 / cleaned voodoo color stuff until it works again
- New cleaner bootlogo based on the one in first post, preferred by most users
- Some additional compilation flags from Netarchy and Zacharias.maladroit (better overall performances + NEON)
- Screen refresh frequency bumped to 72Hz (68Hz effective). It'll uncap FPS to 66 again but seems stabler than before on framerate (the divide/2 behavior happens less)
- Added screenstate scaling script from well.heeled.man as a test (with my kernel's smartass default settings). It should give better sleep power consumption as well as better power efficiency on screen off tasks like music playing etc. by switching to conservative governor.
If you want more information, discuss on this or contribute to enhance it, please come here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087646
- Adding some stuff from Zacharias.madadroit :
- Higher battery charging temperature
- Scheduler tweaks
Alternative version now available (V9B-VC) using old AMOLED panel color/gamma settings and with Voodoo Color V2 added back.
24/05/2011 - V9C TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #12 OR HIGHER ONLY
(Updated to fix "no service" issue, but still sucks.. unstable on #12 build, very stable on others but no service)
- Upstream sync (PMEM disabled (gives 339MB RAM now), new RIL, headset fixes...)
- Divider changes for MUCH better stability on 1.2GHz at the cost of a slight decrease on performances
- New branch with Voodoo Color display driver and "old" color settings named "VC"
- Fix for Vibrant no service problem - hopefully
- Small changes on smartass governor for better scalability (reverts some old settings not needed anymore with the screenstate script)
- Glitch logo now in update script too for nanu_x2 to be amazed when installing my kernel
24/05/2011 - V9D TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #11 OR LOWER (for i9000, or cappy/vibrant equivalent) AND MIUI ONLY
First "D" revision.. Sound like duty. It's basically a fix of a fix done to make the V9C features available for "stable builds" (considering the i9000 #12 isn't)
- Obviously all the V9C changelog
- Using old RIL to be compatible with builds before #12 for I9000 (--> WON'T WORK with #12 for i9000 or equivalent !)
- Replaced 1.54GHz step by 1.6GHz (1.54GHz step was somewhat useless, too close to 1.5Ghz, and slower overall because of the lower bus speed)
- I can't build Vibrant ATM, the CM7 build system is broken on this device or I'm doing something wrong but I wasn't able to fix it. Any help is appreciated. I'm sorry for Vibrant users I'm screwed.
V10
27/05/2011 - V10A Do not use with CM7 builds older than 23/05 (as well as the 28/05 or newer build) or MIUI -> you'll get no service !

- Int voltage changes to get some stability back on all overclocked frequencies
- A bit faster 1.5 and 1.6GHz steps - Could make these steps unstable for some, please try and report
- Smartass governor tweaked for faster scaling up, and slower scaling down -> better stability and speed
- OC code bugs and inconsistencies introduced in V7B now fixed (it was here to prevent sleep of death issue, now fixed)
- Some fixes and enhancement for compatibility with Xan's Voltage Control app
- Various tweaks for MOAR SPEED
- Black magic
Known issues :
- The reboot recovery command seems broken for some reason on recent builds. Probably rom related.
- Some users still get freeze issue on boot. If you have this issue, please use the "no-optimization" kernel for you device from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14180722&postcount=2077

How to install CM7 on SGH-T959D with alternative for broken SGH-T959D.
This is updated and easier way to install it ^^
This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!
It is really important that your are on froyo rom before you flash as CM7 need froyo bootloader.
Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! Knowledge on how to recover your phone is recommended.
Things that you need
1. CWM 3.0.0.5 enabled kernel. It will do a lagfix as it's voodoo kernel. Just let it finish.
2. Newest Version of CM7 Rom
4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip
5. [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel for SGH-T959D --> Telus fascinate 3g+
Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)
1. Get those files download
2. Copy cm7 package, GalaxyS EFS backup and Glitch kernel to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number, galaxys-efsbackup.zip and CM7TelusFascinate-Glitch-V10C-VC.zip.
3. Get into download mode and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition and phone efs clear!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar.
4. Unplug your USB and get into recovery mode. Hardware way.
5. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache
6. Flash GalxyS-EfsBackup.zip
7. Flash Glitch kernel then reboot in recovery again with hardware way. If you use reboot recovery command, just keep on going with the alternative way.
7. Flash cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip
8. Reboot your device and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.
9. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!
10. Install [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel from recovery. CM7 package install default kernel and we want Glitch kernel
11. Restore the efs backup.
12. Reboot your device and you will be running CM7 Rom and amazing Tk-Glitch kernel ^^.
Alternative way to flash. Can't access recovery mode by booting with button.
1. Download the same file as main way to install.
2. Copy cm7 package to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number. Also copy Glitch kernel.
3. Get into download mode (Use download Script included here if you can't do it hardware way) and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar. Let your phone reboot to normal rom.
4. Once it has booted ( It will do a lagfix before booting. ) make sure you have usb debugging enabled. (Setting, application, development USB debugging ticked.) Use recovery script found Here ( Included in package to get in download mode. ) to get in recovery.
5. Flash GalaxyS-efsBackup.zip
6. Flash Glitch kernel.
7. Go to advanced in CMW and use REBOOT RECOVERY. Your phone will always be rebooting recovery for now. we'll fix that later.
8. Flash the CM7 package. Reboot into download with the script included in the package up or hardware way. (Button work to get in download for me.)
9. Flash CWM kernel again using odin with repartition NOT ticked.
10. Restore EFS.
11. It will reboot in recovery. Flash Glitch kernel again and and reboot normal again. And voilà !
You are now on amazing CM7 with more even amazing Glitch kernel.
Thanks so much. Was waiting for a new kernel, this works on any froyo rom right?? And do I need to dl that wipe thing you posted to flash this???
Sent from my T959D on Bionix..

Thx, ill take care of it when ill be at home
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I get status 7 message when flashing CM7. Is it because I'm EXT4?
I'm getting the same message. Status 7 assert failed, I tried it multiple times. I used to run voodoo kernel but i disabled the lagfix. I reflashed Froyo JL3 a couple times trying different things but nothing worked. Still the Status 7 message when trying to flash CM7
Battery Drain
Does this kernel still have battery drain issues?
For people with status 7 error, did you flash the initial kernel first? If you didn't , try to flash it first. If you dont have access to recovery with 3 button combo, i'll post my way to flash it by the night. Yes battery drain bug is still here, but it's getting more and more like normal GB firmware.
Thanks to Glitch for the kernel and thanks to you for the new thread for telus fascinate. I already compiled Glitch kernel for just personal usage, but now i dont have to worry about that Thank you
Since today, I'm not gonna compile a new build for telus fascinate due to personal events ( studying, working, enjoying my life, girl friend, etc..) But I'm gonna still write a comment for this kernel and visit this thread.
Thanks again and Ill give you a feedback about this kernel

hehe, i know how it's hard to have a life xD thanks to have compiled zach kernel for us while you were able ^^. I'll keep this thread updated as TK update his own and gives us a compiled kernel ( Turn out I ain't able to compile it myself xD)
Thanks again TKGLITCH!
i hope oneday Glitch compile MIUI version for us.

If you use the latest Miui build 1.6.10 you can just use this kernel as its the new ril, tested and working so far with 10b The work has already been done we were just waiting for MIUI to catch up.
Info & Thanks
What you need to know before you use this kernel.
This kernel got Selinux Permissive state as it supports more apps like TiTaniumbackup.
Reverting back to a Selinux enforced Kernel (stock) is no longer a problem from Rev3.0 and up.
You can set Selinux Status with the included Synapse app
You want to know why this kernel comes with Selinux included, google for Selinux and search your answers.
AllCast mirror will not work as this is a Samsung thing and not opensource.
If this is a problem for you, don't use this kernel.
DISCONTINUED , A NEW THREAD WILL BE OPENED FOR THE NEW KERNEL SUPPORTING ONLY THE KITKAT BOOTLOADER.
NO JELLYBEAN BOOLTOADER SUPPORT, IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.
INSTALLATION
Take a full nandroid backup.
NO NEED TO BE ON ANY KITKAT BOOTLOADER (your wifi will work with this kernel)
YOU NEED TO BE ON A KITKAT TOUCHWIZ ROM.
Install with cwm
Thanks:
sidmoraes for pointing me to other kernel source that I could use as base, still had to change some stuff but this is better then waiting for samsung to release there source, if they ever will. (Finally Samsung released source)
Andreilux - Faux123 - Yank555.lu for kernel work

Never install a kernel that is not for your device, it will cause a hard brick.
Stock kernels can be found in the SphereKat folder of your device
The only good app to control this Kernel is the included SYNAPSE appExample of what synapse looks like,THIS IS JUST A EXAMPLE.
SphereEngine KERNEL Features
If you change nothing these are the following Features/optimisations you get compared to Stock:
SELINUX protection included but set at Permissive = No problems wit apps like Paragon and Titainium.
SELinux control with Synapse
S-Pen Alignment fixed
Default Speeds 200MHz-1600MHz
Activating Saving power will result into 200MHz-1100MHz.
GPU Overclocking thanks ZaneZam / DerTeufel / AndreiLux
GPU settings are:
Step0 54MHz = new Idle step = when in browser mode and no gaming this low GPU speed will help save power
Step1 266MHz
Step2 350MHz
Step3 533MHz = new speed foe step3 for better performance in drawing
Step4 700MHz = New OC speed for the better gaming performance
GPU settings are not editable and hard set in the kernel
Init.d support
ARCH-Power enabled
DynamicFSYNC = Use Terminal command or Trickster Mod app. = enabled by default.
Memory Leak fixed
mmc cap erase disabled ( just as a precaution )

S-pen alignment is fixed in the kernel and rom so you need both to have 100% accuracy.
This kernel will fix it for 95%. The other 5% is in the roms framework.
#########################################################
Note to all users:
Don't be a lurker, hit thanks as it took plenty of hours to build this.
Samsung didn't release the kernel source (not yet) so a lot of debugging was needed to fix problems like the sensors not reporting correctly.
This is the only thing I ask, hit thanks if this helps you.
It is free and enjoy it.

Edit:
About the lurkers,
Martin from this post isn't one as he is a donator and thanks hitter.
A example to you all.
I wanted that cleared out as I didn't want Martin to take that lurker thing personal.

Flashed and while it seems to be working fine for the most part, my CPU is constantly maxed out for some reason. I changed no settings or anything, and it was idling fine before flashing. I'm sure it might be something with my device, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case it's not. I'm going to mess around with some settings, see what I can do, and see if it changes.

Like you said, it could be something with your device, mine goes into deep sleep and it has gone as high as 90% deep sleep. Pretty amazing I would say and great job by @civato. Are you on pegasusq governor?

I was indeed using pegasusq. After trying multiple different governors and nothing changing (even stayed at 1600mhz on powersaving), I've decided to wipe my device entirely and start from scratch. No biggie. If I narrow it down to a specific app or device setting that was causing it, I'll post it so people are aware.
09/Jun/2014 First Public release Rev2.2
[*]Memory Leak fix cpu stats
[*]Memory Leak fix Kernel Ext4 & Power
zzmoove profile nr6.
I recommend not to use Powersave governor as is very buggy. Next release will it have removed as it useless.
Best governors are Pegasusq - Adaptive and zzmoove.
I am running it an am happy to report no issues. The only changes I made were to up my top cpu speed to 1.8gzh. All govs are at default. Thanks again. Can't wait to see what is next in the works for this tablet.

Hi androidmonsta, How did you get Nandroid added under your Backup Settings? I assume it is part of the FLEXNOTE rom. What app does this link to?

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
** I will NEVER support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (boot support only)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
** I will NEVER support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do 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.
** I will NEVER support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, 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.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
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
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:
lsmod

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
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)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases

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
by 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

@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!

Welcome officially back
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant)
Enjoy
UITA

Proud to be one of the first ten guys downloading your kernel. Hahaha

I don't know if it's a bug, On the first attempt I tried to boot on Enforcing but didn't boot, at the Samsung logo it vibrated consequtively, bzz, bzz .... bzz, bzz like. But Permissive works fine. I am fully operational besides Blue Filter not working.

Might be to do with UX or your ROM. I only test that on 100% stock ROM and worked fine at the time.
The blue light filter bug for UX is known and has already been reported / added to the "BUG REPORT" tab. (View in website mode on PC).
Please be aware that I extensively test only on stable stock firmware. Not beta leaks etc. So some UX bugs may or may not get fixed. I personally use stock.

that is the problem, sadly samsung released source for an older firmware! This means CPH3 is not supported, it's weird that the modem.bin is not fixing it :0... other friend flashed he has CPH3 and he fixed his wifi
Ported it to this, and it's stable links tomorrow and also the thread will get updated with better look and stuff!:fingers-crossed:
@Bulgar, it feels really good to have more devs and cookers around these threads.
Just in case, could you in any way add support for A300FU, they're virtually similar except the display size, and they added the MM sources for it as well.

sure provide me ur stock boot.img and i will see what i can do , stable oc settings for cpu are 2.00GHz and 720MHz for GPU since both the phones mount msm8916 i hope it will support it if no i will add lower clocks !
Finally a custom kernel for A5, good work!
I tested this kernel on my A500M and works, but WiFi is broken.

I attached the boot.img
And, you have plans to make compatible with AOSP based ROMs?

Thanks for the image, I don't think I can build 30 kernels for each different ROM I'm trying out the cyanokernel
i hope other variant also support of this kernel...especially a500f variant..

Welcome to hadesKernel
Some personal thoughts:
- this kernel works only on J5 2015 versions. I`m not responsable for what can happen if you flash on other devices.
- v2.3 for J5 already includes all the previous things from A5 releases.
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- bug reports without device variant and logs can't be considered bugs - make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work.

FAQ:
Q: My wifi is broken after flash. What to do?
A: Flash latest modem available for your device.
Q: Can`t connect to wifi network. What to do?
A: Reboot the phone, reboot the wifi router/ap, make sure you don`t have mac filtering enabled on ap/router.
Q: MAC adress has changed. What to do?
A: There is nothing you can do. That happens because of newer wifi module, built along with kernel, from the latest sources. If you can`t connect see Q2 above. I won`t change back to legacy wifi modules, at least not now.
Q: Device appears as "unauthorized" in adb and notification to authorize doesn`t appear. What to do?
A: Enter developer options, disable usb debugging, wait 30 seconds and re-enable it. Now you should see the notification to allow debugging.
Q: loading
A: loading

Multumesc!
Great .
Fast Kernel, Stable. (First really good kernel for J5)
From the tester to this build your kernel has worked perfectly. (Commenting here your tester)
My new rom with your kernel is amazing.
Cheers! :highfive:
Thanks @corsicanu ..
I'm using this kernel on my Stock 6.0.1 rom & I must say that this is one of the best kernels for J5.. Its very fast & stable..
Thank You So Much..

Hi @By Zonik ..
Waiting for your rom (v2) bro..
Some q's
Fast charge as in fast charge?? Does our present kernels support that, beacause it's pretty slow.
Any plans to follow it up for a non touchwiz based rom??
does it support skies rom beta ??

Does the kernel work well with a single processor at the frequency of 50Mhz?
If you set a different GPU frequency to 720Mhz when the GPU is at 100%, is the Max frequency set or rising to 720 ignoring the set frequency? ?
Finally something interesting for the lands of the J5
For me the link doesnt work i just get this:

I will quote my friend @Bulgaricus for this
...we force supporting devices such as laptops and desktops that have fast charge to provide the quick charger to our phone.
I will see what can be done in the future for non touchwiz.

From what i know Skies Rom is based on touchwiz so it will work. Test and report.

I added 50Mhz for some certain scenarios, to step down the freq if the load is small - screen on but idle (i have screen timeout set to 10mins), or screen off and awake (for AOD on the roms that have it-my rom for A5). Anyway i have custom script in ramdisk that bypasses stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh and sets custom loads for all the frequencies, so the device can go down even to 50Mhz, but step up if the load is reached, so it doesn't lag at all.
About gpu - from what i saw it sticks to maximum set (i use kernel adiutor).
I mostly cherry-picked features and fixes, even from your j5(6) kernel [emoji16] since all are based on same soc. This project started as personal kernel, permissive with otg enabled (because A series has OTG disabled by Samsung), and after that decided to add more things and make it public.
Cheers!

You can see the GPU frequency in real time by using these commands in Terminal (PC):
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/devices/soc.0/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/devfreq/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0
while true; do cat trans_stat; busybox sleep 0.1; done
1) The path may be different.
2) The current GPU frequency is the one with the asterisk.
3) Total transictions means the total switches between GPU frequencies.
Try these commands to confirm that the GPU frequency is stuck at 720.
We can bring the current fast charging also on custom roms or even improve the fast charging to support custom mAh and stuff like that. But forcing a battery to charge faster than it's limit can demage and reduce the battery life drastically so I think we will leave it just like that. Greetings

Skies Rom beta is a Note 7 Port rom .. so it is Grace UX not touchwiz ..

I know, that you have cherry pick from me?
I also found something interesting in your code
Referring to the intelli thermal, I do not know why faux124 used a different thermal control for the TSEN8974. I found that version 1 gives some errors in the logcat when I boot up the phone
I also started my kernel for personal use, specifically to be able to use viper4 ? I just needed the kernel to be permissive. And now look where the kernel go

Grace UX is touchwiz based. Non tw roms are lineage, cyanogenmod, or any other that uses AOSP as base.

I removed it from features/changelog since isn`t activated yet. I saw too late in msm8916 defconfig the CONFIG_THERMAL_MONITOR=y so the intelli_thermal isn`t there yet. I can`t even finish the build (lots of errors), and you have errors in logcat ?. You are way far than me. For now i didn`t had time to chase those errors. I`ll look more maybe next week. Anything else interesting in my source? ?
Cheers!
