Frequently Asked Questions
For NOOBS
Q) How to flash the kernel
A) Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.
Q) Will i lose my data if i flash kernel?
A) No, you wont lose any data nor do you have to wipe data or cache.
Q) Does my battery need to be 100% to flash?
A) Not at all
Q)Flashed CM 6.2 Kernel on Froyo Rom and WIFI doesnt work?
A) There are two versions of Kernel. One is for Froyo Rom and other is for CyanogenMod Rom 6.2 (CM 6.2). if you are on Froyo rom and flash CM 6.2 then your wifi wont work and vice versa.
Q) 1400 Mhz (Extreme version) doesnt work for me
A) Not all Galaxy 3 suppport overclocking as high as 1400 Mhz. If it doesnt work then keep frequency lower or flash Ultimate, Performance or Lite version
Q) What does this data2sd in g3mod do?
A) data2sd is method by which all your /data partition goes to your sdcard thus giving you more space for downloading apps. Its suggested to use data2sd only if your sdcard class is higher than Class 6
Q) Internel Memory shows 0kb
A) Check if you have fs.data2sd at this location /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ If yes then delete it or else your sd card doesnt have sd-ext partition
Q) How can i go to recovery mode
A) Press MENU+VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER button and bingo!!!
Q) Should i use multi boot even if i am having 2 gb card class 2 ?
A) Sd card with any class can use multiboot
Q) Data Wipe Necessary When Switching Between CM and Froyo ?
A) Yes data wipe is necessary for switching roms between CM and Froyo. But we have given option to Backup data also in recovery.
Q) My APP is not working after Flashing KERNEL
A) Its not a kernel problem
Q) What is tun.ko?
A) It is basically used to setup Open VPN connections
Q) What is jhash3?
A) jhash3 improves the HSDPA/3G/EDGE speed
For Advanced users
Q1) Battery is draining fast?
A) After flashing the kernel please calibrate your battery or else let 3-4 full battery cycles pass.
Q2) Which profiles should i use?
A) Lets take example that you are using Ultimate kernel. Keep the governor ondemand (Like every good boyfriend fulfills all demands of his girlfriend ondemand governor does the same for your CPU ).
Make profiles:-
1) Time Profile - 12 am to 6.00 am Freq 100 Mhz to 400 Mhz Priority 100
2) Screen Off - Freq 100 Mhz to 600 Mhz Priority 95
Q3) What are advanced settings in the SetCPU mean?
A) Sampling rate is rate at which the frequency of your CPU changes. Up Threshold is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Up). Down Threshold (conservative only) is limit at which CPU will change freq on load (Scales Down). Powersave bias is used for saving the power of CPU, it will slow down the CPU and affect the performance also 200 in powersave bias mean 20%...250 means 25% and so on.
Q4) I want performance and also good battery what profiles should be i use?
A) Refer to Q2 for Profiles Set up and now go in Advanced tab and Keep Sampling Rate 10000 or 15000. Upper Threshold to 90 and Powersave bias to 200 (20%). Since we are using powersave bias, this will affect the performance as it slows down the CPU so to increase the performance we are lowering the Sampling rate thus we get perfect balance of Performance and good battery backup.
NOTE: ABOVE SETTINGS ARE JUST EXAMPLE..PLEASE PLAY AROUND AND CHOOSE SETTINGS WHICH SUITS YOU THE BEST

Steps for Multi boot:
1) Flash Kernel v1.7+
2) Go to CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Backup ROM.
3) Backup your Current ROM to ROM1 (It will backup the system.img at /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM )
4) Add the system.img of your 2nd ROM to /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/romname_ROM and similarly for different ROM's.
5) Use the CWM Recovery -> Multiboot -> Switch ROM option to switch between different ROM's.
6) If switching between Froyo ROM and CM6.2 RoM, you will need to wipe data and also change kernel's via update.zip method.
7) Use the data backup and restore option to prevent loss of data when switching between Froyo and CM6.2 ROM's.
Note: Ask the developer of the ROM's to provide you with the system.img for their ROM
How to use Hybrid Data2SD
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo hybrid > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/fs.data2sd'
4) Create a text document in Notepad with a list of all the directories you wish to move. Example:
Code:
app
log
dalvik-cache
---LEAVE A BLANK LINE AT THE END---
5) Save the file and call it 'data2sd.dirs'
6) Do 'adb push data2sd.dirs /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/'
7) Reboot your phone
8) Once your phone has booted, run 'adb shell cat /data2sd.log' to ensure it is running correctly.
How to enable Multi Data
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/multiosdata'
4) Multi Data will automatically backup your data upon booting into a different OS.
Make sure to not wipe your SD-EXT partition. Doing so will erase the backups from other firmware. Only wipe it if you wish to erase data for everything.
You can also use Multi Data to quickly restore data if your phone has become corrupted. It will restore it back to the last multi-boot switching
1) Connect your phone via ADB
2) Go into adb shell
3) Type 'echo 0 > /sdext/lastos'
4) Reboot the phone
Directories for Multi boot:
//ROM Dir
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod6_ROM");
__system("mkdir /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/roms/CyanogenMod7_ROM"); //Add CM7 Support

How to configure compcache:
If you want to use default configuration (as up to now.. 62 MB aprox.), you don't have to do anything different as what you have been doing. But if you want to use a more/less memory, here are the steps:
Inside that /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/compcache file, write ONLY the number of MegaBytes you want to use for compcache.
Reboot.
If compcache file is empty or contains a "0" inside, it will use default configuration.
How to: BLN
This is only "needed" if you have a i5801 | i5800L or any other Galaxy 3 model with back button lights and want BLN in it.
How to install:
First, download the lights.GT-I5800.so file from google code. Then execute this commands:
adb remount (or if this doesn't work: mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl6 /system)
adb rm /system/lib/hw/lights*
adb push [Location of this file] /system/lib/hw
After that, reboot and now you have BLN working
Steps for Changing the Max Freq(Dynamic OC):
There is an entry in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table where you can put your own value for APLL.
Before doing this, set "PERFORMANCE" governor on and min and max frequencies to the maximum.
Code:
// Do this in adb
echo "0 a[SIZE="5"][B][U]258[/U][/B][/SIZE]0[SIZE="5"][B][U]3[/U][/B][/SIZE]01 a14d0303 c07e13fc cf850240" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table
You need to replace the 258(Hex Value) with your desired value.
Here 258 means
(2*16*16) + (5*16) + 8 = 600
and 3 means it is 600*2 = 1200
Therefore, a2580301 means 1200MHz.
This is a temporary method. For a permanent Method, add this line to a init.d script. Name the script to something like S10_Dyanmic_OC.
Help Others: If you calculate a Hex Value for a particular frequencies add it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5hdnpsWFdTNExiY2t3dy16VzBvaWc6MQ
You can view all the frequency Hex value's calculated by others over here:

Note:
We am learning how to develop kernels.
We willl add different features as and when we can implement them.
The main goal of this kernel will be to keep the phone stable and fast.
There will be nothing as alpha or beta releases.
We will give out the kernels directly, but if anything goes wrong and you have to reflash the ROM or kernel, please dont start shouting.
You may give us different ideas on what features to implement. We will try our best to implement all the features you want
Many of the features implemented in this kernel, are taken from marcellusbe's Fugumod Kernel, and we shall be ever thankful to marcellusbe for the fugumod kernel
Warning:
We are not responsible for any damage caused to your phone (softbrick or hardbrick)
Credits:
marcellusbe for all his help, awesome fugumod kernel
supercurio for voodoo v10
Paolo for BFQ I/O Scheduler
All developers for making this an awesome phone
Everyone who is helping is solving different issues with this kernel
Please let us know if we miss anyone ...oh we did already miss someone..thanks G3MOD TEAM too
What to the old thread?
Nm read that
Btw 6th post got some errors...
@Dharam, i have a question. In your v1.8 Kernel, We can change the partitions to any type we want, can't we? Because in Mumbozver's recovery, we could only use ext2/ext4/ext2.

The kernel itself supports everything, but CWM only supports EXT2. I will look into either porting CWM4 or getting 2.5 to support more systems.

getting 2.5 to support other partitions will be a better idea...coz for CWM 4 you need complete CM7 source, and also most of the update.zip's on the g3 forums use amend...and CWM 4 supports only edify....
All the best to the future process
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Right, I want to work on USB OTG but lack the cable, and the only way I can do it with what I have is if I destroy my only USB cable for my phone. So if someone wants me to do USB OTG, then buy me a cable and I'll do it
All the stuff is there to do it, I just need to get the phone to switch into host mode.
I think v1.9 is going to come sooner than expected...excellent work by the whole team...

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

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.

As many of you probably already know, I had another 'Fusion' kernel for the S4 HTC One S. However, because I incorporated mdeejay's patches, the kernel did not play nice with the CPU and whatnot. I nuked my repo, imported the T-Mobile US kernel sources, and re-built the kernel from scratch. I wanted to start a new thread so people would not mix up this and the old kernel.

Downloads
Do NOT flash versions 3.0 and higher in recovery!! They are 7zips!!
I purposely made it a 7zip archive so people don't flash it. Instead, extract the appropriate zip from the package and then flash like before. You get options of whether you want overclock or stock clock. The zip will flash the correct files and modules according to your choice and then clean out conflicting init.d scripts for the best possible compatibility.
All Downloads are HERE
How to Install
For hboot 1.09 and below:
Just flash the zip in TWRP recovery. It will automatically flash the boot.img for you.
For hboot 1.13 and up:
you have two options
Option #1
Use TWRP's HTC Dumlock feature. It is a pretty neat workaround that allows you to flash boot.imgs in recovery even on a higher hboot.
Look here for instructions from TeamWin. If you are not comfortable with this method, then follow option #2 to manually flash in fastboot.
Option #2
In addition to flashing the zip, you will have to extract the boot.img from the package and flash it manually with fastboot. Blame HTC for the half-assed 'unlock bootloader' offering they give us. Hopefully we will get S-OFF soon...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Look here for a guide.

For Developers
How to build this kernel from source:
This is assuming you already have your Linux environment setup and installed the required packages for compiling a kernel.
1. Clone my initramfs and kernel sources.
Code:
git clone git://github.com/klin1344/kernel_ville_US.git
git clone git://github.com/klin1344/initramfs_ville_4.0.3.git
2. Compress the ramdisk into a gzipped archive. First navigate to the initramfs_ville_4.0.3 directory, then:
Code:
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.gz
3. Grab the toolchain from DoomLord's handy repo:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git toolchains
4. I have created an easy build script. Modify the top four lines to be applicable to your setup. Make sure CROSS_COMPILE is set to the directory of the toolchain we just downloaded earlier (there are two; not the Linaro one). And change INITRAMFS_DIR to the directory of the ramdisk.gz you created earlier.
5. Build. First navigate to the kernel_ville_US directory.
Code:
./build.sh ville_defconfig
for the stock option or
Code:
./build.sh ville_oc_defconfig
if you want the overclocked option.
The script will detect the number of cores of your CPU and automatically make with the optimal -j#.
6. If all goes well you should end up with a boot.img in the kernel_ville_US directory.
FAQ.... Please read this before posting questions!!!
FAQ
Frequently asked questions. Please read all of this first, and then if it doesn't answer your question, feel free to ask in the thread. I just don't want to have to keep answering Is this kernel SENSE based? or How do I jailbreak my HTC One S??? type of questions. Lol. :silly: Thank you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What ROMs is this kernel compatible with?
As stated in the OP, this kernel is compatible with all S4 devices running a 4.0.3 Sense-based ROM. It is NOT compatible with the new 2.21 RUU, which is Android 4.0.4 based. We will have to wait until HTC releases the new kernel source because the differences are not only in the initramfs.
What is the best governor for me to use?
It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want performance, go with Lionheart or Ondemand. If you want battery life, go with Conservative. And if you are looking for a balance between battery life and performance, then use either SmartassV2, Interactive, or LagFree. These are just my opinions. Look here for a great reference of all the CPU governors. Test them out and decide which works best for you.
Which I/O scheduler is the best?
I personally use SIO, but you can test and decide which is the best for you. Read here to find the pros and cons of each one.
How do I overclock?
The kernel should default at 192Mhz 1.5Ghz CPU clocks. To overclock, use SetCPU, No-Frills CPU, System Tuner Lite/Pro, or any similar CPU control app. Some apps don't allow the settings to stick properly. I recommend using No-Frills or System Tuner.
How do I undervolt?
Right now, the only app that works for voltage control is System Tuner. Both the Lite and Pro versions allow you to change the voltages. Do not use SetCPU as it doesn't work.
Here is the voltage table I am currently using:
Code:
1890mhz: 1250 mV
1809mhz: 1225 mV
1728mhz: 1200 mV
1674mhz: 1175 mV
1512mhz: 1150 mV
1458mhz: 1137 mV
1404mhz: 1125 mV
1350mhz: 1125 mV
1296mhz: 1100 mV
1242mhz: 1100 mV
1188mhz: 1075 mV
1134mhz: 1075 mV
1080mhz: 1025 mV
1026mhz: 1000 mV
972mhz: 1000 mV
918mhz: 975 mV
864mhz: 975 mV
810mhz: 950 mV
756mhz: 950 mV
702mhz: 900 mV
648mhz: 900 mV
594mhz: 875 mV
540mhz: 850 mV
486mhz: 800 mV
384mhz: 725 mV
192mhz: 650 mV
Please just take these as a grain of salt; not all chips are created equal! Some devices can become an ass when it comes to undervolting, while others can starve the CPU to death and still run fine. Experiment little by little until you find your perfect voltages.
What is zRam and how does it work?
Originally Posted by faux123

ZRAM is an updated version formally known as CompCache and RAMZSwap. It was originally designed for 2.6.38.xx kernels, I have backported to our 2.6.35.xx kernel. ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.

WiFi doesn't work???
Flash the alternative modules package in the OP. It is for EU based ROMs as well as MIUI Sense-based. You only need to flash it once, unless you change or update your ROM.
Nice..Will do testing...
Hopefully it give the best battery life than stock
Thank you sir!

Thanks. But unfortunately the reason I did not make it a zip is because that some of us who are on hboot 1.13 or higher can't flash boot.img's in TWRP recovery at all. The same goes for radios. I stupidly ran the 1.78 RUU, which update my hboot from 1.09 to 1.13. :crying:

How do you like the new radio? I seem to be getting a lot better service and a more stable WiFi connection.
Liking the kernel so far
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Bug I found -
-While install apps it take awhile for it to install. (1mins or 2min). I just phone the sit until it finish install
-After reboot ...the kernel take awhile for it kick in. For example..If you have email it will take awhile to prompt on notication bar .
Is it possible you can post zips for download in the OP? Thanks. Will try tomorrow.

-While install apps it take awhile for it to install. (1mins or 2min). I just phone the sit until it finish install
-After reboot ...the kernel take awhile for it kick in. For example..If you have email it will take awhile to prompt on notication bar .

Maybe try wiping data / factory reset? To be honest those sound more like rom issues rather than kernel related issues.
I cannot reproduce it.

+1 but the thing is a bit complicated because we need current modules because of better wifi signal.
I guess we'll just have to wait for the new kernel source from 2.21 base
just flashed it with axiom v1.8.0
everything seems to be working fine.. it's fast smooth stable
nice stuff, Klin
Trying this now in hopes my frequency changes stick after a reboot unlike stock :/

Is it normal for CPU settings to not stick after a reboot?
I set 1.3ghz/384mhz max/min for both cores. I reboot and it defaults back to 1.5/192
Basically same issue with stock kernel.

Update 2013-03-05 (3.1.10that4):
The latest kernel is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38797590&postcount=194
New features: User voltage control and Data2SD auto-detection.
End Update 2013-03-05
Update 2013-02-06 (3.1.10that2):
After positive feedback from testers and due to popular demand, here is my latest kernel with the experimental new "ROW" I/O scheduler. If you want to know more, read the documentation in the patch here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1862241/ . Please note that this is a rather new development and not yet merged into a mainstream kernel, so it has not been widely tested. However, all results from XDA members were neutral or positive so far.
End update 2013-02-06
Since Asus seemed to have forgotten to release the 10.4.4.25 kernel sources, I reminded them politely - and finally the sources are available for download from their support site!
This is the first kernel ever that I cross-compiled myself - be gentle.
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- Asus 10.4.4.25 base
- fsync control
- ISO 9660 + UDF support (CD/DVD filesystems)
- CIFS (for mounting Windows shares)
New in 3.1.10that2 (2013-02-06):
- ROW I/O scheduler (prioritize READ requests over WRITE requests on eMMC/SD cards) included as default
New in 3.1.10that4 (2013-03-05):
- User voltage control for undervolting
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that5 (2013-03-24):
- Penguins! (framebuffer console)
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that6 (2013-04-01):
- No more crash when reading /sys/bus/nvhost/drivers/tegradc/tegradc.0/nvdps
Ramdisk features:
- insecure adbd
- init.d support
- does not set lcd_density (dpi unlocked)
in the -data2sd versions only:
- mount points modified for the Data2SD mod (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507)
New in 3.1.10that4 (2013-03-05):
- auto-detection of data2sd - if the microSD card is inserted at boot time and it contains a second partition, it is assumed to be a data2sd partition and mounted as /data. Otherwise, the system is booted with /data mounted to internal storage as usual.
New in 3.1.10-10.4.4.25-that5 (2013-03-24):
- moved auto-detection of data2sd to scripts in /system for easier customization (read the release post for details)
Credits:
- Linux kernel devs and Asus for the base
- Gentoo devs for their easy "crossdev" toolchain-generation tool
- scrosler for the original CleanROM, from where I got the ramdisk mods
- Ezekeel for the fsynccontrol patch (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-kernel27-jul-glados-v20-for-jb/page__st__700#entry607555)
- clemsyn, for finding the fsynccontrol patch and integrating it into his kernel
- faux123 for the user voltage control patch which clemsyn integrated into his kernel
- sbdags and buhohitr for testing
- dasunsrule32 for finding the ROW I/O scheduler and testing it with the CM kernel
- snypa for notifying me of dasunsrule32's research
- blackmambazzz for making the ROW scheduler compile with 3.1
Flashable ZIP:
This kernel (and all others in this thread) is compatible with stock-based (Asus Android 4.1.1) ROMs that set lcd_density (dpi) in build.prop - in other words, this is the preferred kernel for CleanROM Inheritance.

(You might now ask "where is the overclocked version"? I decided to start with a known stable base for my first release - if this one turns out to work fine, the oc build comes next.) - for overclocked version, read next post!
Overclocked!
This is 3.1.10that1-oc - the version with clemsyn's overclocking patches. Please note that I only extracted and then applied his patches to the current kernel and typed "make" - I don't understand all the scary frequency and voltage tables, and I don't know how it works in detail. However I got up to 7130 points in this benchmark thingy, and system tuner shows 1.8 GHz, so it appears to do something.
Please note that this is only the kernel, and it does not contain clemsyn's changes for the Asus performance modes. As you may know, the 3 Asus performance modes are activated by running shell scripts in /system/etc named cpu1.sh to cpu3.sh. Clemsyn's kernels replace balanced mode with performance mode, and performance mode with the new overclocked mode. This kernel does not do that, it leaves your modes as they were!
Depending which kernel you were using before, the following will happen:
- Coming from a stock kernel, you keep balanced and performance modes, and the extra overclocking mode can only be activated by executing /system/etc/cpu4.sh. If you want, you can rename cpu2.sh to cpu2_original.sh, cpu3.sh to cpu2.sh and cpu4.sh to cpu3.sh, then you have performance mode as default instead of balanced, and overclocking mode if you activate "performance mode" - same as clemsyn's. If this is too complicated for you, you can either flash clemsyn's kernel directly before this one, or wait until someone repackages this kernel.
- Coming from clemsyn's kernel, performance modes should work as before. Please don't ask me which specific variant of clemsyn's kernels this one is comparable with - he released only one source package, which I used, but many different kernel binaries. I can't recreate other versions without clemsyn releasing sources for those specific versions.
zImage (kernel binary) features:
- all of the above
- Overclocking and voltage control
Ramdisk features:
- same as non-overclocked version
Additional credits:
- clemsyn, for his amazing overclocking kernel

Same zImage with the ramdisk from the previous data2sd kernel.

Great news! Your new data2sd kernel is working very well. All data mountings are correct and fsync is woring wonder! Great job!
1. When PC hook up to device, on PC I see:
a. Internal - ext4 parition on microsdcard
b. Micro - Fat32 partition on microsdcard
c.-SD - Dock SDcard.
2. Disabled fysnc - working wonder, gain 600+ on Quadrant.
I have been using Sandisk Extreme Pro class 10 (95mb/s) and it's very stable (Did not work before with Clemsyn Kernel). With fsync disabled, a gain of 600 point bring Quadrant to 6639 from 5995/6005 without OC. The tablet is super smooth and fast with fsync disabled. I can see the apps are launching faster from stand still, if they already in memory, BAM it's there. Browser also faster, Gallery loaded much faster and I got over 2 thousand pictures. In summary, I'm impress and very happy....just couldn't wait for the OverClock version.. Again, great job _that!! :good::good:
Edit: I will be running this for a week to see if any issue with journaling and fsync disabled on this super fast sdcard. Will report back.
Update 1/30 @ 10:30pm est - After 4 1/2 hrs, this tablet stills running smooth and quick. Very happy with this kind of performance, probably the best to date. What I'm really exciting about is, there still more room for performance....when "_that Overclock kernel" arrived..
tried this on PA, and I get a message, upgrading apps, but then it hangs. Is this to work on all ROMS, or just stock?

Should be just for stock Cleanrom.
Tried this fantastic kernel in the last 5 hours and it is smooth, had no problem at all. Epic Citadel reports a benchmark of 38.9 fps.
Can't wait to try the OC version of it. Also waiting for the SanDisk Extreme to arrive from Amazon to try out the data2sd too.
Re: [KERNEL] 3.1.10that1 ★ 10.4.4.25 + fsync + ISO9660 + CIFS
I can confirm that data2sd version is working great. Waiting for the OC version. Good job!
So how does one disable fsync?
Flash this kernel, reflash ROM with no kernel option and fsync disable checked, or?
Just flashed this kernel. I have disabled fsync and my tablet has sped up. Thanks for this kernel _that.

1. Reflash CleanRom 3.2.1
2. Disable Fsync during the installer
3. Reboot
4. Wipe Devlink Cache/Cache
5. Flash this kernel
This should disable fsync with this kernel.

Hello i just want to say thanks, i am using the data2sd version without any problem.
If someone is interested in the kernel changes between 10.4.4.23 and 10.4.4.25 can follow this link to my github.
Looks like Asus has made some changes in the mmc management:
Code:
/*
* SD Workaround: downgrade frequency for seldom specific sdcard
*/

Sure, that's the point of me publishing all the sources as detailed as I can - take whatever you can use.
By the way, there is a nice script in the kernel sources that extracts a config from a zImage, it's in scripts/extract-ikconfig and you pass a zImage to it as a parameter. Maybe that's useful for you one day.

Excellent. Note I mod Clemsyn's cpu.sh files so that balanced mode is balanced mode which theorectically means I can now make a 1.3 1.8 and a 1.5 1.8 version of this
Off to do some testing.
Looks like Kernel Installer 1.8 is in the making.

Download TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 for G906SKL
/* Requirements */
* Galaxy S5 broadband LTE-A (SM-G906S, G906K, G906L)
* Samsung stock firmware or Dokdo-projct
- Kitkat: ANK1
- Lollipop: BOG2 for G906K, BOH1 for G906S/L
* Custom recovery (Philz, TWRP, etc)
/* Note before using */
* Backup important data before installing
* Upon installation, every warranty inclusing KNOX becomes void
* I, kykint, am not responsible for any inconvenience or problems that occur while using this kernel
* Only one hotplug driver should be on (mpdecision, intelli_plug, alucard_hotplug, lazyplug)
Lazyplug is currently not supported on kernel customizing applications. Wait until their developers update.
* Dokdo-Project version of lolliwiz is highly experimental. Don't complain about battery drain.
It also does not support uninstaller yet.
/* About new installer */
Since Release 9, the installer will automatically extract your device's ramdisk, merge it with lolliwiz kernel, and then install it.
Upon installation, if a backup folder (/system/lolliwiz-bak) is found, it will automatically restore it first and then continue installation.
It will backup original boot.img and sensors library to the backup folder (/system/lolliwiz-bak) while installing.
There might be some problems regarding this new installer, so please keep the following instructions in mind.
* When installing another variant's ROM, do not install lolliwiz right after flashing ROM.
Install the stock kernel of your variant, and then install lolliwiz.
* Those who have been using R8 or older version of lolliwiz must flash stock kernel first before installing R9 or later.
* Do not install stock kernel when lolliwiz is installed on your device.
Only install stock kernel when uninstaller fails to remove lolliwiz and restore to stock kernel.

Release 9 and 10 are mostly bug fix releases, so there isn't much difference.
Kitkat support has been put off to R11, and if a bug is found again and R11 happens to be released early, it will be put off to later release again.
Still, I'm considering EOL of kitkat version as it is becoming harder to support the old Linux version.

F2FS Conversion manual
/* F2FS Conversion Manual */
(for LP and Dokdo-Project only, no KK support)
(Not tested on Dokdo-Project)
I will not add any additional explanations about F2FS, since this is a very risky task and recommended only for experts,
and since not knowing about F2FS means that you're not one of them.
Cautions
1. Conversion process of /data partition and filesystem will wipe away every single data in your device,
so every data in internal sdcard should be backed up on your PC.
2. Flashing /cache partition image when the device has already been converted to F2FS will format /cache partition to EXT4,
so manual conversion process of /cache partition to F2FS must be done again.
3. The /cache partition image mentioned above is included in stock firmware package, so be careful when installing stock firmware
4. Inside stock firmware is included a stock kernel which only supports EXT4, so again, be careful when installing stock firmware
5. /data and /cache partition must be set to the same filesystem, both EXT4, or both F2FS
6. I personally recommend that every process be done using my TWRP recovery, which will be posted in a seperate thread later.
7. The F2FS version of kernel zip has a '_F2FS' tag at the end of its filename, while EXT4 has nothing.
Be careful, Dokdo-Project version supports both EXT4 and F2FS, so they're not seperated,
and when converting to F2FS on Dokdo-Project, you can skip kernel switching(reinstalling) process.
How to change filesystem on TWRP
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > (Select a partition) > Repair or Change File System > Change FIle System > (choose between EXT4 and F2FS) > Swipe to Change
* It takes a great amount of time when changing to EXT4, up to several minutes.
How to check current filesystem on TWRP
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > (Select a partition) > Repair or Change File System
and you'll see your current filesystem on the upper part of the screen.
Converting to F2FS
0. For stability, flash uninstaller first if you already have lolliwiz installed.
1. Install F2FS version of Lolliwiz. (_F2FS.zip)
2. Change the filesystem of /data and /cache partition to F2FS.
3. Reboot into recovery mode again.
Back to EXT4
0. For stability, flash uninstaller first if you already have lolliwiz installed.
1. Install EXT4 version of Lolliwiz.
2. Change the filesystem of /data and /cache partition to EXT4.
3. Reboot into recovery mode again.
Installing stock firmware on F2FS
1. Reboot into download mode and install stock firmware with odin as usual.
2. When the installation finishes, it'll automatically reboot into recovery mode and flash CSC package.
Wait until androboy disappears and the device reboots again.
3. Reboot into download mode again.
4. Install my TWRP.
5. Reboot into recovery right after installing.
6. Install F2FS version of lolliwiz.
7. Format /cache partition to F2FS
8. Run factory reset if needed. This is an option.
9. Reboot.
If the device won't boot even if you carefully followed all of the above instructions, repeat the process again.
Thanks
Thanks I was on the Korean forums yesterday trying to translate lol.
I noticed there's a test for b5. Giving it a try.
One issue I seem to have on b4 and 5 test is that no matter what kernel tuning app I use if I turn off mpdecision and intelliplug on, after a reboot mpdecision always comes back on.

Kernel settings are set to defaults on each reboot and the default setting on hotplug is mpdecision on, intelli_plug off. That's why every kernel app has the ability to restore previous settings after reboot. Try enableing them, kernel adiutor works fine for me

Thanks, but I told it to save settings. It's weird as all the settings were saved, including intelliplug on, but mpdecision was turned on as well. I'll uninstall it and start again!
Do you have a donation link btw?

Nice to hear it's working well now.
I don't get donations, maybe you could donate to the REAL developers out there, they're always working hard for us XD
Very interesting!
I'm reading the Asian forums since a week and I have found that this kernel is well used.
How can I flash back stock kernel if something happens? And where can I find stock kernels??
If they are unavailable, I'd like to make my own Odin tar.md5 files for flashing stock kernel.
Can I follow the script/batch procedure (found here on Xda) that produces the tar.md5 flashable files?
Tnx!!

Good!
I'm following the Asian forum where I've found this kernel and related config app, from which I've read that there's a modified version of the app....And for this please give me some infos.
I'm also searching for some interesting custom rom as I see there are some, like the KingWolf one or the Milan one.
Any help on using this kernel with some roms?
Tnx!

I uploaded lollipop stock kernels for both recovery and odin. I'll upload for kitkat as well when I get the latest kitkat firmware.
Sorry, this might be a dumb question, but I'd rather ask it then brick my only smart-phone:
I'm currently on miscom's ROM (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/galaxy-s5-g906-custom-rom-t2848569)
Also using Philz recovery
How do I get to the Lolliwiz Kernel safely? Can I keep my apps, settings and so on?
Again, sorry. This is my first android phone (but certainly not the last one!) and I'm pretty clueless... But getting the miscom kernel on it was pretty easy with a bit of reading...

Make a backup of whole apps with TitaniumBackup first, then backup system, data, boot in philz recovery(run custom backup) and flash stock lollipop through odin. miscom's rom is 4.4.2 as I know of, and my kernel supports 5.0.1 only at the moment.
If your phone bootloops after flashing lollipop, factory reset through philz and restore apps from TitaniumBackup, or flash back stock kitkat firmware and then restore system, data, boot in recovery.
Note that flashing stock firmware will blow away your recovery and you should manually install it again with odin. Also, factory reset through philz will preserve your internal sdcard but stock recovery WILL NOT.

Great.... Bricked it.... Gonna need you guys' help again....
Did it like instructed... After flashing stuck lollipop, stuck on the second boot logo ("olleh o" for me).
Since recovery went back to stock, tried a factory reset and cache delete from the stock recovery... no help....
UPDATE: HOLD THE HELP!!! Unbricked it! On Stock Lollipop now... Working on it... Will get back to you....
