Noma kernel for Huawei U8150
I'm introducing my custom kernel for Huawei U8150 IDEOS phones. In Kenyan Swahili noma usually means "tight," as in: "That music is tight!" It can be used in other ways too, but I like this connotation the best.
GoalsMy aim is to learn about Linux kernel internals, practice software development using git, and to share with the community. In addition to that, I want to explore and test tweaks which lead to increased/optimized performance on this bargain phone (it's very popular in Kenya). Some of the areas of improvement I have in mind are:
CPU scheduling (UI responsiveness, reducing lag)
CPU frequency scaling governors (smartass? ondemandX? interactiveX?)
I/O scheduling and filesystems (flash disk performance, throughput, latency, maybe simpleio scheduler?)
Security (network, local)
Newer drivers (mainstream, community kernel sources)
Newer GCC compilers (CodeSourcery, Linaro)
Easy rooting
Integrate ClockWorkMod Recovery
Integrate busybox
Explore different compression algorithms (LZO, gzip, LZF, etc) for zImage...
Compcache (zram) (info, announcement)
SLOB memory allocator for better memory allocation? (info)

Change logChange logs are a pain in the ass to keep up to date, but you can see changes live in the git repository itself. See the commit history of the below branches if you're curious:
froyo-noma-dev commits (dev, bleeding edge)

Source code
I respect the GPL (the license covering the Linux kernel), so all the up-to-date source code for this kernel is available on github. My kernel is, in turn, based on the publicly-avaiable Froyo kernel sources from Huawei. You're free to fork, modify, and re-release the code as your own, but you must provide the source code for your resulting work. Doing so ensures you honor the terms of the license, but you're also giving back to the community. Basically, don't be a ****.
Credits
I've written zero lines of C code for this kernel. My work is merely to search for interesting modifications to the Linux kernel and add them to a git repository. The real work has been put in by the following people:
Linus Torvalds and all the other Linux kernel hackers around the world
tj_style (multi-touch gesture support)
Stefano Viola (over/underclock)
Renaud Allard for his Galaxy S awesome sauce (kernel, initramfs, etc)
Erasmux (smartassV2)
Let me know if I've left you out.
Donations
Hahaha! No seriously, save your money; I am gainfully employed and I just do this for fun (and lulz)! Instead, just hit "thanks" on this thread. Or, if you're ever in Nairobi you could always buy me a cup of coffee.
Reserved for flashing instructions...
Could you please post fashing instructions via custom recovery?
Im a bit of a noob.
Thanks.
Use fastboot!

I usually just flash from fastboot lately, as I'm between ROMs too much and I don't bother installing a custom recovery. I suppose I should modify my build scripts to make recovery-flashable zips... hang tight!
... or, if you can't wait, check out my in-depth blog post about compiling and flashing custom kernels on Huawei 8150. I wrote it a few weeks ago when I was a U8150 n00b.
v47 (20110823)
Changes in 20110823v47 (from the git commit log):
Add new, lookup3-based jhash. See: http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html
pids: fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reused immediately
lib/decompress_bunzip2.c: fix checkstack warning
kbuild: drop unifdef-y support
net sched: fix some kernel memory leaks
net/ipv4: Eliminate kstrdup memory leak
Add noma_defconfig. `ARCH=arm make noma_defconfig` to use.
Mostly security and memory leak fixes. The new jhash implementation is based on lookup3.c, a newer, more-efficient implementation (more info here). It's mainly used in the kernel's ipv4 and ipv6 stacks, so don't expect revolutionary performance increases, but it's backwards compatible with the old implementation, so it couldn't hurt to include it.
Default IO scheduler is now deadline (the same as stock Huawei) until I can do some performance tests of other schedulers on this device. Note: I've included BFQ, Anticipatory, CFQ, and noop as well, so you can use those if you like!

v49 (20110824)
Changes in 20110824v49 (from the git commit log):
Default to ZLO compression of kernel and ramdisk. LZO has roughly the same (but worse) compression, but is much faster to decompress.
Add LZO compression support for initramfs and old-style initrd
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels on x86
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels for ARM
Add support for LZO-compressed kernels
LZO compression is not as efficient but should be faster than the default compression (gzip), which should improve boot time. See: http://free-electrons.com/blog/lzo-kernel-compression/.

Why are you working on Froyo and not on Gigerbread?
Why I'm still working on Froyo
unknhawk said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As this is basically a research project (for both me and the community), the primary reason I'm still "working" on Froyo is that most U8150s are still running Froyo. It's an incredibly popular phone in Kenya (maybe 250,000 - 500,000 units sold?), but I have a hunch very few of them are running non-stock ROMs. Sure, CyanogenMod 7 has a fairly-active U8150 port in progress, but it's not widely used yet.
Like I said, this is primarily a research project, so I'm experimenting for my own curiosity. A part of that is to help people get into Linux kernel, Android, and open-source software development. I want to help set an example of openness, collaboration, documentation, etc.
Also, a lot of the mods I'm making can just as well apply to Gingerbread when we finally get there.
Custom kernel booting on U8150 CM7

Fun times... I just got a custom kernel to boot on CM7. It's nowhere near as usable as tilal's kernel, but it is a good exercise. More info here on my blog.
I suppose that whenever I get bored enough with Froyo I could always hop over to CM7. AOSP is where my heart is anyways.
v56 (20110827)
Changes (from the git commit history):
Add su, Superuser.apk, and busybox. This kernel/boot.img will now actively root Huawei stock ROMs.
Remove pre-zipped ramdisks as they are now generated on the fly from the compile scripts.
Correct the name of the compressed ramdisk (mkbootfs technically creates a cpio archive, which I then zip).
Make sure `make clean` doesn't delete our pre-compiled wireless module.
Add mkbootfs for creating ramdisks, and update compile.sh to create ramdisks on the fly instead of using a pre-zipped one.
Add ramdisk from U8150 V100R001C18B842
The build system is now a little more flexible and generates ramdisks on the fly. This should make it more powerful and complete. I've also included su, Superuser.apk, and busybox to enable a very cool new feature: rooting! If you haven't forked or cloned my kernel repository yet, what are you waiting for?
Regarding "rooting," forget what you've heard (it's probably wrong). Here's what it actually means:
Copying the su binary to /system/bin/su
Copying the Superuser.apk application to Superuser.apk
Period. What this means is that Android applications can call on the su binary whenever they want to do perform system administration actions (ie, not normal user actions), such as removing system applications with Titanium Backup. The Superuser.apk application is simply a frontend for su; whenever an application tries to execute su, a Superuser dialog pops up asking you to allow or deny the request. This notion, known as "privilege separation," is a common one in all operating systems.

v83 (20110903)
Changes (from the git commit history):
sched: export nr_running symbol for use by smartassV2 CPU governor.
config: sync with latest config
sched_fair: Restore less extereme latency values (latency of 6ms)
sched: enable HRTICK
sched_fair: Enable HRTICK
cpufreq: add smartassV2 governor
Switch busybox, older version (1.18.4) but slimmer, more appropriate for our needs (from https://faramir.eriador.org/r/).
Minimum frequency to 122MHz at boot, as well as smartassV2 governor.
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Cleanup after installation of su stuff. We're on a ramdisk after all, we need to conserve memory.
Change location of root stuff so it isn't in the $PATH
Add Simple I/O Scheduler
Add V(R) i/o scheduler
Update to latest Linaro GCC 4.6 compiler.
Two major changes are the addition of the simpleio IO scheduler and the smartassV2 CPU governor. The simpleio scheduler is based on/around the noop and deadline schedulers, designed specifically with non-rotating media in mind (flash disks, hello!). The smartassv2 CPU governor controls how your CPU switches between frequencies (from 122MHz at idle to 672MHz when in use). I haven't done any benchmarks, but these should improve responsiveness and battery life (in theory at least!).
Other than that, the latest Linaro GCC 4.6 compiler, some small optimizations to ARM-specific functions, and ramdisk/boot cleanups. If you're curious about smartassV2 there's more info here, on erasmux's github page here.

cm7 nightly bugged one ?????? i dnt like it iz there iz n e fixed cm7 for ideos ????
btw your kernel doesnt works with cm7 and can u please make a kernel for samsung galaxy gio with smartass v2 ??
Aorth, I tried flashing you kernal, and unfortunately there is one error when flashing with the latest CM7.1. After the flash, the phone will be stuck at the boot screen. I was wondering if you can get this fixed, that'll be great
This kernel is meant for stock ROMs

Yeah, this kernel was really meant for Froyo stock ROMs. It won't work on CyanogenMod builds because the ramdisk's init scripts are not compatible.
My U8160 kernel repo has a kernel which works on CM7... but you'll have to compile it yourself
nice kernel ........... working fine on ideos u8150-B .... I flash it with stock rom ................. battry becomes efficient ...
Good Job!
Hello aorth,
I'm now using the LEANdroidMOD 5 based on your kernel and I have to say the name NOMA suits it to a tee. It's my default ROM now when I'm not testing your or tilal6991's builds. Thanks and you have yourself a happy holiday season!
hello,
will there be any update of your noma kernel? this is my fav because all roms out there eat my battery like mad, so i just use your kernel and i'm happy with it
greetings
oh man please update, this is one nice kernel!
CM7 u8150 april 5th
IS this already built in to your CM7 last updated april 5th rom or is that a diffrent kernel? which one is better? would it be hard to install it on that rom? whats the advantages over the built in cm7 rom? Thanks sounds awsome anything to make that baby faster is great. Good work
SU Binary Outdated notification
flasehd v83 on the stock 2.2.1 kenya 1 mutli touch rom all went good but whenever i restart the phone su binary shows the notifications bout su binary being outdated which i updated , i did it multiplie times but it comes up everytime the phone is rebooted , other than that su binary working ok ,
dont know how to fix it , other than that the phone is working so responsive , enjoying it
when i flashed the kernel , the phone was already rooted
cheeeeeeeeeeers
BCK - Bam Custom Kernel for i9003 / Galaxy SL
This Kernel is based on the Chinese GB source, released by Samsung on the 18th of November. Last changes to the source were made by Samsung on November 15th. If you still have questions after reading this post, look at the FAQs (including a list of requested features and known issues).
Kernel features:
No SOD
Bugfixes:
~ Sync bug fixed. Notifications for new mails and messages should arrive within one minute under all circumstances
~ Bluetooth problems fixed. Your phone now should play nice with bluetooth hosts, i.e. your car audio system
~ Micro stutters nearly completely gone thanks to lowered processor transition latency. It's smooooooooth
~ Home button double presses exterminated
Governors:
~ smartassV2 governor by erasmux (default)
~ interactive governor by Mike Chan
IO scheduler:
~ SIO IO scheduler by Miguel Boton (default)
~ BFQ IO scheduler by Paolo Valente and Fabio Checconi
~ deadline IO scheduler
Extended features:
~ ro.secure=0 (root acces through adb shell - to root the 'clean flavour' of BCK, please follow the instructions)
~ EXT4 support (to convert your file system, use amit.bagaria's ext4 add-on .apk) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Support for init.d scripts (to use scripts, please follow the instructions) (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ BLN support (to use BLN, please follow the instructions)
~ TUN support for VPN networks built-in (no module needed)
~ Increased SD-card read ahead of 768 kb for improved read speed
~ Available with universal CF-root ramdisk based on amit.bagaria's version, improved by loSconosciuto (Only in CF-Root .tar)
~ Available with universal CWM ramdisk (rooted) based on universal CF-root, but 'tweakless' (Only in CWM .tar)
Overclocking and Voltage:
~ Evolved sysfs interface for variable overclock or underclock (all operating points [OPPs] can be adjusted seperately)
~ Fifth OPP (1.2 GHz) available, device booting up at stock speed (1 GHz)
~ Total frequency control. The device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi.
~ sysfs interface for voltages (read only at the moment)
~ Slight undervolt (3%) on all OPPs
Flashing , settings and compatibility:
If you want to use BCK, please flash it on a clean stock ROM. If you want to go back to stock, repartition and reflash the full firmware with ODIN. This kernel will not work on CM or MIUI.
The CF-root and CWM versions (PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_***.tar / PDA_BCK_CWM_universal_***.tar) can be flashed on any recent Gingerbread firmware. These versions are pre-rooted, which means they include Superuser.
The non-CF-root "clean" version (PDA_BCK_XXKPQ_***.tar / PDA_BCK_XXLE4_***.tar) will only work on XXKPQ / XXLE4. Do not flash this version on anything other ROM than the one indicated in the file name. This will break your WiFi. It's especially risky to flash the clean version of BCK after flashing any CF-root kernel before. Don't do it. This version does not include Superuser, but it is prepared to be rooted. Follow the instructions to do this.
After a kernel update, please wait for the device to boot up and reboot once. There is generally no need for cache cleaning or a full reset. To change the governor and IO scheduler, I use NoFrills CPU Control from the market. It's free and reliable.
I recommend to use the clean XXKPQ version. If you want / need to have root, try the CWM version. If you want the 'full package' with FuGu-Mod and more, use the CF-root. I recommend that you do not apply any further tweaks and use a stock ROM.
>>> Warning: Overclocking may damage your device. <<<
Overclocking instructions:
For overclocking, you will need a shell on your phone, or adb access. I use Android Terminal Emulator. Overclocking is currently limited to certain frequencies (see below) and all operationg points will be set with the stock voltage of the corresponding stock frequency. The frequencies you set have to be within the following ranges:
Code:
OPP1: 100 - 500 MHz, stock 300 MHz
OPP2: 501 - 700 MHz, stock 600 MHz
OPP3: 701 - 900 MHz, stock 800 MHz
OPP4: 901 - 1100 MHz, stock 1000 MHz
OPP5: 1101 - 1500 MHz, stock 1200 MHz, not used by default
Remember that your phone uses all operating points depending on the current load. Anything more than 10% higher than the highest stock frequency is likely to be unstable, but you are free to try it. To change the clocks, open Terminal Emulator (or type 'adb shell') and hack in
Code:
su
echo "1100" > /sys/power/overclock_opp4
as an example. The others are opp5, opp3, opp2 and opp1. That's it.
Settings will be lost at reboot, unless you add them to your init.d scripts. I do not recommend this, as this may cause boot loops if the settings are to high! Be advised that NoFrills CPU Control, SetCPU, or whatever app you use that may adjust clock settings interfers with this. You may wanna update their settings after this. I do not recommend using them to set anything at boot if you overclock any OPP, because they might save the wrong frequencies and crash or do worse.
Changelog:
beta 1:
Added cpufreq governors
beta 2:
Changed smartassV2 settings to fit i9003
Added EXT4 support
Smaller zImage due to .config changes
beta 3 (not released):
Experimented with overclocking (not working, yet)
beta 4:
Finetuned smartassV2 settings
Made smartassV2 governor default
Reverted: Smaller zImage due to .config changes
Switched to linaro 4.6.2 toolchain (also used for ICS)
Activated new, aggressive compiler optimizations (-O3)
Added deadline IO scheduler
Added BFQ IO scheduler (10% higher performance than CFQ in Antutu Database IO Benchmark. This does not mean, that the maximum read or write speed increase! It just means that the throughput under heavy load is higher.)
Made BFQ IO scheduler default
Updated all modules
beta 5:
Variable overclock. Loosely based on the modifications of the Nook Color sources by dalingrin and of course with help from amit.bagaria and DooMLoRD.
beta 6:
Variable overclock for all operating points
beta 7:
Switched to universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria (BCK now should run on every recent GB ROM)
Added correct version information in settings menu, credits to DooMLoRD
Fixed cpufreq stats to correctly reflect frequency changes
Increased SD-card read ahead to 768 KBytes. This results in higher SD-card read speeds.
Major simplifications in overclocking code. Works more robust, now.
Added sysfs interface to show voltages. See /sys/power/overclock_vdd_oppX
Changed all voltages to the mainline Linux kernel defaults. This results in a slight 3% undervolt for each OPP, which saves about 5% power and should have no impact on stability whatsoever. Below you will find an overview of the exact voltages.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP1: 1.0250 V 1.0000 V
OPP2: 1.2000 V 1.1625 V
OPP3: 1.3300 V 1.3000 V
OPP4: 1.3875 V 1.3500 V
OPP5: not def. 1.3800 V
beta 8:
OPP5 (1.2 GHz) now enabled in _1200 version of kernel. Thanks to knzo for pointing me to the right patch.
Fixed video recording bug when running at 1.2 GHz
Fixed power management issues at 1.2 GHz
Small changes to smartassV2 and interactiveX settings
beta 9:
Added simple IO ('SIO') scheduler
Only one kernel version now, which includes OPP5 (1.2 GHz) but boots up at 1 GHz. Be advised that your device may nevertheless be running at 1.2 GHz for five to ten seconds at boot because of software limitations.
Changes in PM to always respect cpufreq policy limits. From now on, the device will never run at higher speeds than defined by you, not even on WiFi. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Bugfix for framebuffer code. Based on an omapzoom.org patch.
Reduced IVA / DSP frequency when on OPP5 to be on the safe side.
beta 9fix:
Reverted: Changes to OPP switching code. May lead to less 'hickups'. (Patch caused random freezes using WiFi.)
Reverted: Bugfix for framebuffer code. (Patch showed no noticeable benefits.)
beta 10:
Fix for sync bug applied. If you still have problems, please report.
This version is identical to beta 10rc14. No need to flash again, if you already are on that version.
beta 11:
Updated universal CF-Root by amit.bagaria to version 9 (released 1st of February 2012), but NO touch recovery
Slight increase in OPP5 voltage (1.38 V -> 1.40 V), may prevent some reported reboots on 1.2GHz
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4000 V
Changes in overclocking code to play nice with your frequency settings. If you overclock OPP5 but have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it won't automatically activate OPP5 anymore. The same is true for the lowest OPP.
If you overclock OPP4 above 1000 MHz and have restricted freqs to 300 - 1000 MHz, it will update the upper boundary to the new frequency of OPP4 so it doesn't get deactivated.
beta 12:
Fixed bluetooth problem with car audio systems (Based on omapzoom patches [1], [2] and [3]). Might resolve other bluetooth issues, too.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed bootanimation. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed install procedure. It will check the actual kernel version, now. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed fix_permissions script to work on our device. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Switched to user_defconfig, to avoid unnecessary debug lines in dmesg.
beta 13:
Updated sources to GT-I9003_SWA_GB_Opensource_Update1 from the 30th of March. This also enables TUN support by default. You do not need any modules for this - it works "out of the box" with any VPN client.
Universal CF-Root: Backup is not failing anymore when started from CWM. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Some small improvements to multiple scripts.
Home button double press issue fixed. There should be no more unwanted double selections in CWM and you can now reliably long press the home button to bring up the list of previously used apps. Idea and timer function taken from a patch by Tegrak.
Fixed priority class for CONTENT_PROVIDER not being set, which may have caused apps of this class to be ignored by the autokiller, resulting in less free RAM.
Lowered OMAP processor transition latency to the value recommended by TI. Subjectively, this brought huge improvements in terms of reducing micro stutters.
Lowered CFS scheduler latency and granularity to values very close to mainline kernel defaults. This could reduce lags in some critical situations, but it doesn't do wonders.
Switched to SIO as default IO scheduler.
beta 14:
Universal CF-Root: Replaced CWMManager and TweakManager with zipaligned files. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: The TweakManager is not replaced on install if it didn't change to preserve it's settings. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Corrected problems because of too little free space in /system when converting to ext4 by permanently moving InfoAlarm.apk from /system/app to /data/app. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-working WiFi on XXLE4 and prevented future problems. Instead of patching the WiFi modules, they are now replaced. Thanks to loSconosciuto.
Universal CF-Root: Fixed some small mistakes in the CF-root install procedure.
Switched the compression of ramdisk and kernel from gzip to lzma. This makes the files much smaller and allows us to include more 'stuff'.
Changed smartassV2 settings to wake up at lower frequencies. Further, it is not locked at 300 MHz anymore when the screen is off. Tests showed that free scaling is more battery friendly.
Removed InteractiveX and OndemandX governors and added the Interactive governor by Mike Chan (Source: CyanogenMod Crespo kernel). Since free scaling proved to be more battery friendly, the screen off profiles in InteractiveX and OndemandX made them superfluous.
The device will not scale above 1 GHz for some seconds when booting anymore. It's now safe to use BCK even if your device can't handle 1.2 GHz. Based on a patch by dalingrin.
Changes in PM to respect cpufreq policy limits when playing or recording video. The device should respect your wishes under all circumstances, now
Fixed the SmartReflex voltage calibration of the OMAP SoC for OPP5. This could lower power consumption as soon as OPP5 (1.2 GHz) is activated for the first time.
Slight increase in the OPP5 nominal voltage (1.40 V -> 1.42 V) to allow for some adjustment by SmartReflex (now that it's working...), if necessary. The actual voltage when the device is running will not change for most users! Based on patches by dalingrin and Sanjeev Premi.
Code:
stock BCK
OPP5: not def. 1.4200 V
beta 14 fix:
Universal CF-Root: Fixed the non-ending row of force closes after flashing the Universal flavour of BCK. The clean XXKPQ version did not show these problems and didn't need a 'fix'.
beta 15:
Universal CF-Root: Modified some permissions to bring it closer to the stock ramdisk
Universal CWM: Created a CWM ramdisk based on CF-root, without most tweaks. You now have three BCK flavours to choose from
Updated to newest UPDATE2 sources by Samsung
Sync bug fix reworked to use new Samsung method from UPDATE2. This may lead to slightly lower standby battery consumption.
Fixed accidental front camera mirroring
Editing smartassV2 settings with busybox 1.20.x and newer no longer leads to reboots. Thanks to loSconosciuto for pointing me to the patch.
Fixed complete crash of WiFi driver when activating WiFi by adapting smartassv2 thresholds
Reverted to the original Google Android toolchain using gcc 4.4.3
Because of the toolchain-switch, the compiler optimizations are now back to -O2 instead of -O3
Credits:
Credits go to the mentioned developers of the cpufreq governors, ganeshbiyer, skin1980 and amit.bagaria for the CF-Root and skin1980 for his repack script. Many thanks to DooMLoRD, amit.bagaria, knzo and loSconosciuto for their help! BCK sources are available on GitHub.

it doesnt have oc ! it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast
tough luck for me mate....
i compile a vanilla kernel which is ~200 kb larger than stock zImage and it doesnt even boot!
also,even i want to update to 2.6.35.14,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how u did it without source?
also(2)lz open an acc. on github!
@sakindia123: Take a look here, update your sources to the new version, and get the new toolchain they use (see readme in the sources).
i followed that link before......
ok i will try with new source
what will happen if we use this ? are there any good feautures ?
it has special cpu governors which are efficient and fast
Now just wait for some days guys. Doomlord, bam, sakindia will show u real power of our device.
This is great! Just one little question, you said this is for a chinese firmware, but you mention KPQ, so it can be put in XXKPQ or not? Anyway sorry for my noob question

It is based on the Chinese source - this includes kernel and android system source. But the kernel is universal (not language specific), and I applied all necessary settings for XXKPQ. Therefore you can flash it on KPQ.
what does a kernel do??
it is the main driving force of a phone that i know.
does it make our phone fast??
how to flash it as i would like to give it a try right away!!
can i roll back to stock kernel after this??
sorry for thr noob question as im new to all this.
---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
also do we need to have CWM recovery for this????
or we can do it with the stock recovery menu??
i was just doing some testing and the kernel is stuck at "SAMSUNG" bootanimation after a FRESH FLASH...
any idea?
used on XXKPQ FW
I flash your kernel. From last 5hours no SOD ISSUE. I'm using smartass v2 let's see how will battery I will get from it.

Fresh flash of what PDA? Yours, mine, GitHub?
@manrock111: smartassv2 gives me slightly higher battery usage than stock. I want to tweak it, but have problems with my sources at the moment.

sorry... did a fresh install of full XXKPQ FW and now its booting
ok now this is weird... suddenly all of my test kernels have started booting
This is a kernel, build from the recently released saga-ics-crc-3.0.16-62a67df source.
Compatible with all ICS (Android 4) + Sense (3.6, 4A or 4) based ROMs
OFFICIAL MIUIv4 and Stock rooted ICS users can enjoy init.d scripts support with this kernelEnjoy!BACK2BASICS EDITION
FEATURES
Interactive Aroma Installer
Completely Stock code, with only 2 additions by me:
Configurable sweep2wake.
Ported bcmdhd wireless driver from the HTC One V latest source code for better reception and no wakelocks. Still breaks WiFi tethering in ROMs based on Sense 3.6. Tethering works fine in Sense 4
Completely Stock ramdisk. The only changes are:
Unsecured boot.img (adb remount and USB debugging)
Busybox run-parts (init.d scripts) support
Some extra lines, required for the proper operation of the new WiFi driver
No OC, UV, optimizations or any other changes.
Compiled with the recommended by HTC toolchain 4.4.3
ISSUES
For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to falsemanually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
NEW USERS: before flashing install/update BusyBox in /system/xbin (with some of the apps available in the Google Play - the one by Stericsson+Smart Install worked fine for me) and check for the existence of the busybox binary and run-parts symlink in the /system/xbin folder on your device. If there is no such files install/reinstall BusyBox until you have it.
OPTIONAL: If you do not have an /system/etc/init.d folder AND you want to use additional modules you should create it manually BEFORE flashing the kernel:adb remount
adb shell
mkdir /system/etc/init.d
chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d

fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot XXX_boot.imgIMPORTANT (HTCdev users): if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
Boot images are:
Sense4_boot.img - for all Sense4 based ROMs (Fallout, ProjectX, Cooldroid, Sabsa Prime, Desire XS, ViperSaga, others)
Custom_Sense36_boot.img - for ICE_DS, Stock ICS by masteross, or other custom Sense 3.6 ROM without lib partition
Stock_Sense36_boot.img - for Ice Cream Saga or clean RUU/PG88IMG (that keeps S-OFF and Recovery) install (rooted)
MIUIv4_boot.img - for any version of official MIUIv4
NOTES:
There is no boot.img for Virtuous Infinity since it cannot operate smooth with the Stock CPU settings
If sweep2wake takes screenshot upon screen off in this version you have to modify your build.prop manually (see above)
PATCHED KERNEL 3.0.89
Due to controversial feedback on Tweaked kernel starting from version 5.0 I have decided to take a different approach.
Patched kernel unifies the concept of both Tweaked3 and B2B kernels.
So what does this mean?
The HTC source is taken as a base and is synced completely with the upstream (the official Android kernel 3.0) where applicable. Since it is patched only up to 3.0.72 the rest of the patches are taken directly from the Linux kernel upstream.
All is done from scratch and revising every single commit (it took me 4 days to complete this only). The result is absolutely clean merge (not as in Tweaked where I took the patches from other developers without actually knowing have they screw up something in the progress). During the patching I have discovered some misses or copy-paste from 3.4 upstream (which I consider for another generation devices and probably the changes from there are not completely suitable for our device). I have cleaned and synced with the 3.0 upstream all not-updated files that I discovered during the patching.
FEATURESThe features of the kernel are the basic ones from Tweaked, but staying as close as possible to the Stock configuration (B2B concept):
Interactive Aroma Installer
Compiled with GCC 4.4.3 toolchain
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.89
Synced with Android kernel 3.0 upstream
Overclockable to 1.5 GHz
Added VDD sysfs interface for userspace UV control
Stock Frequencies and Voltages
Default governor: INTERACTIVE @ 254 - 1024 MHz
Interactive governor updated from android 3.4 upstream
Default scheduler: DEADLINE
Configurable Sweep2Wake
Fixed WiFi tethering on Sense 4 based ROMs
Updated WiFi drvier from HTC One V source
Built-in CIFS support
Built-in TUN support
Built-in NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
Optional WiFi calling
Two way call recording - both WAV and AMR
Enabled USB OTG HOST (big thanks to astro757 and engelmarkus)
Enabled SWAP support
ISSUES
If your WiFi does not work upon install check this solution /10x to toxic-hero/
Sometimes the sweep2wake does not work instantly after deep sleep period. Just swipe once more to unlock the device or press the search button.
due to incompatibility with sweep2wake the native Sense screenshot function has to be disabled (on some ROMs Power+Volume Down is working- 10x to rzr09 for pointing it out). You will need to change the value of ro.htc.framework.screencapture = , located in /system/build.prop from true to false manually, using any root file explorer. To make it functional again (if you decide to disable s2w) just change back from false to true
For all with BLUETOOTH issues: use 4EXT Recovery
USEFUL INFORMATION, PLEASE READOverclocking applications, reported to work:
If you are in doubt which governor and IO scheduler to use - there is a lot of useful info here (thanks to Tectas and the authors)
SetCPU
Voltage Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
No-frills CPU Control {settings not stick after reboot on Virtuous Infinity}
Daemon Controller app + andrev_oc script
note1: there is virtuous_oc on Virtuous Infinity already, so you can use only the Daemon Controller app
note2: oc daemons are not supporting scheduler changing
undervolting can be done with a command from Terminal Emulator or adb shell:echo -X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levelswhere X is the desired value (-25, -50, -75, -100, -125 or whatever you like). Unfortunately has to be repeated after every reboot since putting it in an init.d script is risky
Originally posted by engelmarkusHi,
I played around with the experimental branch of your kernel once more and today it works perfectly.
Keyboards, mice and USB storage devices work without any messing with the terminal. For almost-auto-mounting I used this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....shajul.usbotg
So I think you can very well enable this in your next kernel version so others can try this out, too.

CHANGELOG
16 Dec 2012: Tweaked3 XI:
Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7.3-2012.11 toolchain
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.56
Upstream update of interactive governor change speed routine
Enabled TINY_PREEMPT_RCU - should give small-memory-footprint on uniprocessor systems (where all processing tasks share a single CPU)
23 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 10.0 (X):
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.52
Removed all third party governors
Removed BFQ, VR and CFQ schedulers
Tweaked SIO for better performance on Android
All modules built-in, except the one for WiFi Calling (kineto-gan.ko - optional)
No more init.d scripts, except for sweep2wake
During installation a /system/etc/init.d folder will be created, with the right permissions on ROMs that do not have such
09 Nov 2012: Tweaked3 9.0:
Compiled with the latest Linaro Toolchain 4.7.3-2012.10
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.51 (10x to oliverclaude)
Ondemand and Interactive governors synced to upstream (10x to Andromadus)
Scheduler improvements (10x to faux123)
16 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.6:
Patched to Linux Kernel version 3.0.46
Updated BFQ code to v5 (10x to Andromadus repo)
2WCR now makes recording in WAV format (10x to Andromadus repo)
BCMDHD wireless driver is updated to the latest HTC One V source - there are some changes related to the Country Codes, so please anyone that has such issues to try it without WiFi FIx app and report
Initialization of the wireless modules moved to ramdisk, no need of init.d script to run them anymore, so new users can skip that part and go straight to flashing!
10 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.5:
Patched to Linux Kernel 3.0.45
Added ck1 patchset by Ziggy (thx to Coolexe) - aims towards better performance
Removed ZRAM - it seems that the compression was the reason for the battery drain
Removed the script for changing the screencapture line in build prop from Aroma, hopefully this will solve the installation issues. You will have to change it manually if needed
01 Oct 2012: Tweaked3 8.0:
Aroma installer - one file for all. No need to do any preparations anymore (like changes of the updater-script, etc) The installer will gather the important information about your ROM and hboot and the flashing process will be done accordingly.
HTCDEV users: there are instructions in the first post which boot.img to flash. Important: if you are using 4EXT Recovery Control for flashing make sure to select the "Stay in recovery after flashing" option!
All governors are tuned up according to the CPU frequencies (should have done it long time ago, sorry for the delay). OndemandX (proved unstable) and Userspace (doubt that anyone even uses it) governors removed
CIFS, TUN, KINETO_GAN, NTFS+NLS_UTF8 and ZRAM moved to modules for optional install (the installer will give you a menu for selection, where the purpose of each module is explained)
Updated LZO compression/decompression method for ZRAM (it sould be at least twice faster now)
TREE_RCU and SLAB memory allocator set as default (as it was in the Stock kernel).
21 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 7.1:
Patched to Linux kernel version 3.0.43
Compiled with the latest stable Linaro GCC 4.7-2012.08 toolchain
Added VDD sysfs interface (10x to lowveld) for userspace UV control (comes with Stock Voltages by default)
Added BrazilianWax, InteractiveX and OndemandX governors
All modules except bcmdhd.ko are built-in in the kernel
Finally found the reason of the battery drain when the Screen is ON and hopefully fixed it. Now the battery life should be rock solid
Flashable zips should be fixed for good. They now will wipe dalvik-cache and cache during flash, no need to do it manually. Version 5.0 zips are backwards compatible (this means you can flash version 5 over version 7.1 without additional actions (deleting or moving files)
05 Sep 2012: Tweaked3 6.0:
Added bcmdhd WiFi driver and fix WiFi Tethering on Sense 4 ROMs (10x to m0narx)
Flashable zips are back!
Comes is two flavors - undervolted -100 and Stock voltages

Enabled full capacity charge in non-OEM chargers (e.g. some car chargers)
Enabled NTFS + NLS_UTF8 support
Enabled PPP_ASYNC and PPP_SYNC_TTY
Enabled ZRAM - adds another 100 MB to your RAM as a SWAP partition (use 52-zram init.d script to load it)
Enabled USB-OTG (needs confirmation, since I do not have the necessary equipment) - not working
27 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.7:
Expanded frequency table - to give the CPU more steps until the highest frequency
Slight undervolting to save some battery life
Fixed backlight staying on when pressing only home button when s2w with backlights enabled (10x to scan6 for the heads up)
Default clock frequency is 1024 MHz for everyone that requested it
Enabled init.d support in the MIUIv4 version (now you can use the 50-sweep2wake script too)
Separate installation files and instructions for S-ON (hboot 2.00.0002) and S-OFF (hboot 0.98.2000, 2.00.2002, 7.xx) users
25 Aug 2012: Tweaked3 4.0:

On Fallout the backlight works as it should.
In a room without direct sunlight - off
On screen off - off
Outdoor or in a dark place - on
Try in different conditions, maybe there is too much light where you are
I wish it was usable for non Sense ROMs

It's perfect! I haven't seen so cool and fast rom as fallout with this kernel yet!
Is it not harmful for Desire S to overclock to 1.5 GHz ?
Shouldnt make any harm going to 1.5.
Now the kernel source, is https://github.com/showp1984/bricked-shooteru-ics-sense what you releasing? if no you need to release the exact kernel source you using, laws
I dont want any saga dev to have issues
Edit:
More then that, some devices comes with stock 1.5 with same processor but remember, the more you put, the less battery
Hi, is there a way to revert it to stock? Thanks.

Yes the changes for sweep2wake are the same, made by showp1984, unmodified by me
And yes, this is the stock OC, I have just enabled it for the time being.
I am pretty sure that soon there will be much more tweaked and polished kernels made by the experienced devs, but since most of them are taking summer holidays I compiled this one for playing with Sense 4 until they come back to development

Yes you can always flash the original boot.img of the ROM that you are using via fastboot. Then copy the bcm4329.ko and kineto_gan.ko of your original ROM to /system/lib/modules with any root file explorer. To restore the stock screenshot feature change the value ro.htc.framework.screencapture from false to true in your build.prop

Introduction
This kernel is designed to be more stable than the stock kernel, with more features and more performance. Choose any three.
I do not include any changes that have no clear positive effect on these goals.
Features
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- Asus 10.6.1.14.10 base
- Support for Samsung's F2FS filesystem (experimental) and exFAT
- ISO 9660 + UDF support (CD/DVD filesystems)
- CIFS (for mounting Windows shares)
- BFQ I/O scheduler (http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/) v7r5; ROW I/O scheduler v4 (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1862241/) and "deadline" is also available
- fsync control (echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled)
- Overclocking up to 1800 MHz, based on clemsyn's patch, configurable clock frequencies for balanced and performance mode
- User voltage control for undervolting
- Crash fixes when reading various files in /sys
- mount space hack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=36889027 allows mounting across Android processes again (e.g. using CIFS Manager)
- NFS v3/v4 client (supports files > 2 GB)
- NFS v3/v4 server as module (untested, needs userspace tools which I haven't yet compiled)
- Framebuffer console at boot (Android penguins!)
- Keyboard dock: support for F1-F12 function keys, special key mappings for CyanogenMod and GNU/Linux (Esc, Insert, Delete, Alt, Windows)
- Support for various USB Ethernet adapters and FTDI serial port adapters
- Kexec-able and able to kexec other kernels
- SELinux is not included for compatibility with the stock ROM's proprietary NTFS and exFAT drivers
- Tethering via dock USB port (untested), see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52917184&postcount=2740
Ramdisk features:
- adbd with root access enabled in default.prop, ro.secure=0
- optimized mount options (noauto_da_alloc)
- init.d script support
- USB IDs for all Tegra 3 based Transformer models (init.xx.rc)
- does not set lcd_density (dpi unlocked), must/can be set in /system/build.prop instead
- preinit system for easy ramdisk customization without repacking or reflashing the kernel: if exists, runs a custom script "/system/boot/preinit" before Android init, e.g. for adding Data2SD detection, ROM2SD, etc.
- File-system auto-detection for use in preinit scripts
Installation/Download
Flash the zip in recovery and reboot; the bootloader will move the kernel to its final place while showing a blue progress bar.
Compatibility
This kernel is compatible with the 10.6.1.14.x bootloaders and stock-based (Asus Android 4.2.1) ROMs that set lcd_density (dpi) in build.prop - in other words, this is the preferred kernel for CleanROM Inheritance. It also works with other ROMs up to Android 4.4 (requires a preinit script to provide the corresponding ramdisk files). The kernel is derived from the original TF700T sources but is known to work also on the TF300.
MD5 sum:
You don't need an MD5 sum. Enable "Zip file signature verification" in TWRP instead - it checks the SHA1 checksum embedded in the archive, which is both more secure and more convenient.

2013-04-11: 3.1.10-10.6.1.14.4-that2
The Asus source release was surprisingly fast this time. I ported all my popular non-intrusive stock kernel improvements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125783) and recompiled the kernel. Special thanks to buhohitr for testing this release!
I couldn't get the framebuffer console to work, so no UltraCleanROM support for now.
(-that2 downloads deleted)
Documentation
This kernel supports a few additional parameters. As usual these can be set from a root shell or an init script - for details how to do that, read a tutorial about using the Unix/Linux command line.
fsync
To turn off fsync (warning: read this and this before):
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
To turn it on, write 1 instead of 0.
Clock speeds and overclocking
Note that the special overclocked system_mode 3 has been removed in -that10. There are now only 3 modes, as in the stock kernel (powersave, balanced, performance). To enable overclocking beyond 1700 MHz (or 1600 MHz for more than one core), you need to override the EDP limit:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_edp
To set clock speeds for balanced and performance mode, for example:
Code:
echo 1300 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_mhz_bal
echo 1800 > /sys/module/cpu_tegra/parameters/override_mhz_perf
User voltage control
works exactly like in upstream implementation - ask me to update this if you want to know more.
Keyboard dock tweaks
CyanogenMod has a slightly different mapping for some of the dock function keys. To enable compatibility with CM and CM-based ROMs:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/cm_mode
Function keys F1 to F12 can be entered using right Alt/AltGr and the keys from "Toggle WiFi" to "Next Track". This might only work in native Linux and maybe CM.
For native Linux users, I added additional parameters:
Code:
echo $flags > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/key_flags
echo 1 > /sys/module/asusdec/parameters/key_autorepeat
where $flags is a number between 0 and 15, by combining these bit flags:
1 = inverts the meaning of Alt for function keys (F1-F12 without Alt, and special functions with Alt. Also, Mute is Insert and Lock is Delete.)
2 = Back is Esc
4 = Search is left Alt
8 = Home is left Windows (aka "Meta" aka "Super_L")
Thanks so much for the RIL patch that seems like fixed my compiling problems lets see
IM just a noob here trying to compile and learn hehe:victory:
EDIT: Yes it compiled
Now I ask myself why Asus released a bad source code lol?

The RIL include fix is old news - it was already required in the 10.4.4.x kernel, and it's published in my 10.4.4.25 kernel release thread.

Learning by doing is still the best way. If you manage to get your own kernel installed and running (if not, read my blob repacking guide), then you have definitely left the "n00b" status.

Maybe they are using an older compiler that behaves differently.
Thanks man I already knew how to make the blob file and put the signing in, I used to help clemsyn packing its kernel when he didnt have time and well I did it tonight :good: I compile my kernel thanks now will learn how to make it with linaro
EDIT:
P.D I left the n00b status some time ago lol

That patch has nothing to do with sdbags roms,that patch contains all the changes made to the original kernel and it's for development only (you can apply that patch to the original or own 4.2.1 kernel source).

I had already changed the build prop file to set dpi to 213 and when I flashed this new kernel it held the setting.
Obviously if you edit the build prop file then your setting remains however if you haven't then maybe it will change to 160. This I'm not sure about since if the default set by stock ROM is 240 and this is what we edit, why would it change to 160?

For some unknown reason, the default build.prop on the TF700 contains the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=160" - the correct 240 dpi is set by the stock kernel's ramdisk. I removed the latter, so the setting in build.prop takes effect.

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 !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
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
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
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.
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
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
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
THIS is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos4
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
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

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS
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
@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!
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. . . .
And no - it DOES NOT fix call audio issue with leaked UX ROM. I believe it to be a ROM issue n!
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

BUG Report Update: UX firmware Bluelight Filter
The blue-light issue is in kernel source.
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk (with permission edits) + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + UX ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light

Which all points to the source I’m using . . . and nothing I can do about it. That's leaked firmware and no proper source, what else to expect. . . .

It turns out to be the google DNS causing the problem. I forgot L Speed was applying the google dns as well. Sorry for being wasting your time. Thanks for the support ! the kernel is smooth and the battery last longer. I can send you the latest boot.img if you still want it.

When in Aroma, please DELETE all that interfering BS init.d 'tweaks' that are not optimised for our device. Those that come with SkyHigh are !!
Don't worry about boot.img thanks.

I see your posts in various development threads. . .
From your history, seems you're never happy with anything.. .
THREE options:
1. Read and follow what's requested of YOU top of Post #3.
2. Use a different kernel
3. Use stock
Anyone using a Grace UX rom with this kernel and if so can you link me one that's working? Been wanting to try it out.
