INCPak IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, IF YOU MADE ANY MISTAKE.
NOTE: FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
This is a Flash-able Zip file that can be flashed only from ClockWorkMod Recovery ( CWMR ) . Make sure that your phone is ROOTED before Installing ClockWorkMod Recovery. If your phone is not ROOTED than first Root Procedure and require files are there on the post click the post below :-
How To Root QMobile Noir A8
Click Above for Root Method with complete Instructions , detailed !
And for Installing CWMR
1) Download MobileUncle MTKTools from play store.
2) Download CMWR file from either of these links.
Link I( Recovery.img )
Link II ( RECOVERY.IMG )
3) Copy CMWR(Recovery.img) to your SD card.
4) Open MobileUncle MTKTools software, select recovery update option and then select recovery.img file that you copied in to SD.
Follow these steps very carefully:
2. Copy the downloaded file on your SD-CARD.
3. Power off your phone.
4. Turn your phone on in recovery mode (by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER buttons).
5. Make a backup.
Select “backup and restore”. And then select “backup”. When it is done select “Go Back”.
6. Select Wipe/Data Factory Cache.
7. Select Wipe Cache Partition.
8. Go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
9. Go back to the main menu.
10. Select “Install zip from sdcard” –> “Choose zip from sdcard” –> Now select “Jellybean_TW_4.1.1_INCPak” –> Select ”Yes”
11. Reboot.
Minor Issues reported:
1) If you are gettings low volume on external speakers flash this. http://*******/MyHbv for volume. Not everyone is facing this issue.
2) No auto Brightness. This is not an issue, developers of this rom removed or didn't added this option because it drains battery. How? read this:
Consider this... when you set the phone to auto-brightness, the phone makes use of a sensor to judge the ambient (surroundings) brightness, then calculates (from a fixed set of values) what would be the optimum LCD brightness and then changes the brightness level. Everything that happens here takes up CPU cycles and hence, more battery would be used...If brightness is manually set, the phone does not make use of any sensor or calculate the ambient brightness so it would consume less CPU cycles and hence less battery use.Setting the brightness to the max at all times could make the above statement a moot point since max brightness means for power usage by the LCD and could basically mean more battery usage.Most often, I believe that auto-brightness battery usage is quite minimal... considering the fact that ambient brightness does not fluctuate too much for a particular timeframe when your display is on... I've not noticed much difference in battery drain in some random tests...
Use some third party app like Go Power or Viel Auto brightness if you still want this.
3) Storage menu in settings cannot be accessed. But what difference it makes? You just can't view capacity of SD-card. Update will be released if this issue is fixed.
ENJOY

King Rom 3.0 Evolution
This is the version to install from CWM recovery
valid for all models of Star N9500
The problem with Lcd and Camera drivers will never be a problem. First in the world I solved the problem.
You only need to know before installing what is the combination of LCD driver - camera of your mobile phone. Know that during the setup wizard, the installer will ask you what is your driver combination.
Links to everything that is required for proper installation can be found in the following paragraphs.
An introduction is dueIf you are looking for a Rom that only changes the look and feel of the phone, which has a nice logo Samsung, or other (which I think is really pathetic), or having many beautiful colorful icons and also some beautiful 3D effects and maybe even makes a good coffee… then don't download my Rom is not for you!
But if you are looking for fluidity and speed, if you want a gps fix in a few seconds, if you want a wi fi stable and fast, if you want the best performance from your phone, then download it, this is your Rom!!

Installation Guide
King Rom 3.0 Evolution
through Cwm recovery
Link to download the King Rom 3.0 Evolution version for CWM recovery:King Rom 3.0 Cwm version
See here
Before installing the Rom is necessary that you know what version of drivers Lcd and Camera is on your device, because the installation with incompatible drivers would inevitably lead the phone to the brick. During the installation process, my Touch Installer you will propose different combinations of drivers Lcd and Camera. Simply indicate which is the your, and the installer will continue its task.
If you do not know what is the drivers combination of your device, you can check it through this easy steps:
Open the numeric keypad of the phone (as if you have to dial a phone number)
Enter the combination * # * # 116 # * # *
A window will open which among the many things listed, will also present the version of your Camera and Lcd drivers.
If this procedure does not work (does not work on all versions of this device) then you just enter in "Factory Mode":
Turn off your phone
Holding down the volume down button (be careful! Volume -), press the power
As soon as the phone is starting, you can leave the power button whilst continuing to hold down the volume button -
It will open a window with the words "factory mode" followed by one with various items, as in this example
You can leave the volume button
Now the volume button will need for scroll through the menu items
Go to "version" and enter by pressing the home button (middle bottom)
Now between the various items that appear on the screen there will also be those of your camera and LCD drivers (if you do not see scroll with the volume key that are below)
Now we are ready to install the King Rom
You may have already downloaded the zip file from the link above and copied the zip file in SD card.
Restart your device in Cwm recovery and make a backup of your device.
Then always from Cwm perform a full wipe:
-> Wipe data / factory reset
-> Wipe cache partition
-> Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
-> Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats
-> Mounts and storage -> format system
-> Mounts and storage -> format EMMC
to make sure you have no problems!
You are ready to install the King Rom from Cwm with the usual:
-> Install zip from sdcard.
Will start the installation process with the touch controls. Be guided by the Touch Installer and when will be asked what is yours drivers combination, simply indicate which is the your from those listed, and the installer will complete the installation.
At the end of this at the request of the installer confirm that you want to reboot into CWM recovery and from here again:
-> Wipe cache partition
-> Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot and enjoy your new King Rom!
Enjoy my work. It's really powerful and optimized. Enjoy!!
P.S. I'm Italian and sorry if I have not written in good English
If you like my work, please feel free to give me a thanks and if you want give me a drink...
Cool!!

Created 2015-07-16
Last Updated 2016-06-01
This GUIDE is aimed at users who want to REDUCE HEATING/TEMPERATURE & get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores much & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery, phone or fingers burning up)
NOTE: My tweaks are related to HARDWARE (CPU, GPU, IO & Screen) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS: : [1] Undervolting the CPU - to draw less power & run cooler
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete (& another 5 minutes if you need to install the Kernel)
STEP 1 - Flash ALUCARD's Kernel V3.4.108 (if you haven't already done so) from here (Thank's to @_Bon_Bon for the latest Kernel & permission to use his work)
Boot into recovery & flash the Zip (just like you flashed your ROM) - you will not lose any data at all
__________________________________________________
STEP 2 (AUTO MODE)
If you wish to get ALL my Kernel Tweaks in ONE STEP simply download this file OR download the default.zip (you need to unzip it) attachment
Save it to the root of your INTERNAL MEMORY (see screenshot on where it should be - you may already have a file with the same name there - please delete it)
Now open sTweaks -> select the BACKUP OR RESTORE tab -> Press RESTORE NOW
Wait 30 seconds.....
Now REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check the CPU Voltage are same as below (to be sure the settings are active) :good:
ALTERNATIVELY:....... (Manual mode - so you are involved in what is happening )
Open the sTweaks app -> CPU Voltage Control & put ON the CPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH
Now set voltages as below:
NOTE: (these are for a PVS2 & above chipset found in over 90% of i9505's)
IF you face any freezing+lines on screen (it is because of others tweaks/settings - please stick to just using my Kernel settings)
IF freezing still persists it means you have a PVS1 or PVS0 chip - simply add +25mV to each setting if that's the case
378 kHz 750000 uV
486 kHz 750000 uV
594 kHz 750000 uV
702 kHz 775000 uV
810 kHz 812500 uV
918 kHz 825000 uV
1026 kHz 850000 uV
1134 kHz 875000 uV
1242 kHz 887500 uV
1350 kHz 912500 uV
1458 kHz 950000 uV
1566 kHz 975000 uV
1674 kHz 1012500 uV
1782 kHz 1062500 uV
1890 kHz 1100000 uV
Now go to the GPU tab in sTweaks & put on the " GPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH"
Set GPU voltages as below
Level 1 895000 uV
Level 2 1000000 uV
Level 3 1100000 uV
Now Click on the CPU page & ensure ENABLE ON BOOT (Load all settings on Boot) & below it press LOAD ALL
REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check CPU Voltage (to be sure your above voltage settings are active) :good:
DONE !
I've overworked my phone for >100 hours & done over 55 full CPU/GPU stress tests with multiple CPU & benchmark tools to give you these STABLE final results.
With Games + Downloads + Benchmarking + Other apps + CPU Monitoring was running the CPU reached just 62C (see it in the screenshot attached)
I also took 2 back-to-back comparative benchmarks using AnTuTu & got 27,000 (an overall drop of just 6% from the initial 29,000)
RAM performance increases (cooler & more efficient) while Runtime & 3D performance loses out a little but this won't affect you unless you are into hardcore gaming/too much multi-tasking (if so then please do not reduce the GPU voltages)
Do share your results & experience - Happy tweaking folks! :highfive: & don't forget to hit that THANKS:good: button
This guide is aimed at users who want to get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery burning up)
NOTE: This only tweaks the HARDWARE (CPU, Screen, Vibrator) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS:
1) Exploiting the AMOLED screen - to display more black (pixels off) thus increase battery life
2) Adjusting simple accessible settings - to improve performance/battery
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete from you SETTINGS MENU
_____________________________________________
MOBILE NETWORKS -> Preferred 3G/2G (unless you really want 4G)
MORE -> NFC (Off)
CONFIGURATIONS -> MISCELLANEOUS -> Widgets/CLOCK widget Setting(increase update freq) , Vibrator Intensity (40%)
CONFIGURATIONS -> BUTTONS -> Navigation Bar Buttons (OFF if using Hardware keys)
CONFIGURATIONS-> HARDWARE KEYS (Enable if BUTTONS is OFF) -> Backlight (Enable for 1 second)
THEMES -> Install "Nicholas' Blacked Out" theme & Also "Pitch Black" wallpaper (from PLAY STORE)
DISPLAY -> Adaptive Brightness (ON) , Sleep (15s or 30s) , Daydream (OFF) , Ambient Display (ON)
SOUND & NOTIFICATION -> Other Sounds -> Touch Sounds (OFF), Vibrate on touch (OFF), Vibrate (OFF)
DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> Window Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Transition Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Animator duration scale (1 or OFF)
SUPER SU# -> Settings -> Enable Su during boot (ON)
DONE !!! :good::good:
Screenshot's attached!
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped. :good::fingers-crossed:
p.s : This also works on other ROM's where you have similar settings that you can toggle/edit

All the download links can be found from the thread OP
A SAFE Odin version can be downloaded from this thread
Thanks to the developer!
1. Before ROM Install
Updating your Modem and Bootloader
I’ve already made a guide on how, why and where to download your Modem and bootloader files, so go check it out here
I’ve also made an up-to date thread with links to latest modems and bootloaders, here
Installing / Upgrading your recovery

Converting / formatting filesystems to F2FS
Formatting filesystems as F2FS is suggested, if your ROM / Kernel supports it
This is done to improve speed and storage lifespan.
Code:
Filesystems that | Which
you can convert | Method
------------------------------------------------------
/cache | Format
/data | Format / Restore
/sdcard | Format
/system | Restore
/preload | Format
-------------------------------------------------------
EXT4 on /system is actually faster than F2FS, because it's a read only partition.
So, if you don't mess around with /system on a regular basis, converting it is not necessary.
Code:
[B] Converting filesystems through formatting: [/B]
1. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
2. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
3. Click Repair or Change File System
4. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 6
5. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
6. Done!
[B] Converting filesystems through restoring a backup: [/B]
1. Go to Backup and choose the partition(s) you want to convert and back them up
2. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
3. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
4. Click Repair or Change File System
5. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 10
6. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change

Additional tweaks
Some other small tweaks and tricks that aren’t that effective or aren’t suitable for the average user
You have been warned, some of the following TIPs aren’t suitable for everyone! So try them at your own risk!
Code:
1. Reducing resolution
Now, this boosts graphics performance A LOT, but can cause instability
You need a resolution changer app, I’d recommend NOMone Resolution
Changer from the Play Store
You have two choices, two thirds of the original resolution or three fourths
of the original resolution
(These two are the ones I chose, you can try out your own ones at your own risk)
Original
[ATTACH]3407082._xfImport[/ATTACH]
2/3
[ATTACH]3407084._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 720, Height = 1280, LCD Density = 360 / 330
Gives more performance, difference is hard to see
[B] (Some games and apps might not be supported with this resolution, like Dead Trigger 2) [/B]
In addition, if you think that the icons are too large, you can go back and change LCD Density to 330
3/4
[ATTACH]3407083._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 810, Height = 1440, LCD Density = 360
Gives performance, difference is impossible to see
3. Recommended and useful apps
sEFix, Entropy Tweaker
It’s a handy little app that changes Entropy generation threshold. Increasing Entropy generation threshold can reduce slowdowns while using apps that rely on randomly generated numbers.
Code:
1. Download the app from the Play Store, [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdvdev.sef"]here[/URL]
2. Open the app and move the slider, so the threshold shows 1024
3. Done!
Greenify, App Hibernator
Now then, we’ve all heard about the battery and performance boosting app, known as Greenify
It needs no introduction and no explanation, just go check out its XDA thread and enjoy your new found power!
Amplify, WakeLock stopper
Using this app you can prevent and customize what Wakelocks are allowed to happen and how often. It’s a handy app and worth your time, so go check out its website!
Power Nap For XPOSED
Yet another Wakelock blocker. This app lets you choose what applications that are allowed to cause Wakelocks and it blocks all others. Go check out its XDA thread!
4. Themes and personalization
This is why Android, for me anyways, it’s the best OS for your phone out there.
Customizations! Themes! Boot Animations! Endless possibilities!
So I challenge you, to tell us your favourite themes and layouts and leave links from where to find them! Some of them will be given a place in this guide!

CAMERA HACKS & MODS
If you face a Camera bug on any Lollipop ROM where hardware interface crashes after shooting some photos/videos & it says "UNABLE/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT TO CAMERA".
just reboot into recovery & flash this file
Your camera will NEVER crash again!!!! Credits to @AntaresOne
Samsung's Camera drivers are closed-source (locked) so custom ROM developers are not able to extract the full potential of the hardware (eg HDR & manual camera settings such as focal length etc.)
No Camera app can fix that issue - however I would recommend you use any of these Camera applications:
1)"OpenCamera" from Play store
2) Google Camera (preinstalled) for normal & panorama shots.
3) CM12 modded CameraNext v22 from this link
"CM Camera" is nice but again due to driver limitations it's features get limited & also Panorama sometimes crashes!
MODS/ZIPS
Here you'll find all my handy little mods and explanations what they do
I do accept request, just don't ask me to build an AI ;D
These mods require the latest busybox and init.d support!
Busybox
Don't have Busybox, or you don't like your current build? Then try mine!
It comes in 3 different builds to be used in different situations and is definitely worth your time
Now also includes a dynamic installer script! It can be used to install and update the build, so you only have to download the installer once!
SwaPa
Using this script the user can create a swap space into cache, from 50mb to 150mb.
Most users don't need it, as it's only useful if you're doing some serious multitasking or benchmarking.
When android runs out of physical memory (that rarely happens on our phone) it normally starts to kill any inactive background processes, but first gives them a chance to persist their progress (Caching or writing it down to /data) With swap, android moves the process to a swap file and retrieves it when it's needed again, so it acts like a slower version of RAM.
It also has the ability to remove all swap spaces, including Zram.
Zram is bad on a phone with a lot of physical ram (like ours) so it can be disabled. You can read more about it here.
Fstrim 3.0
When android deletes files it just writes 0 to the block where it was. This means that when android wants to rewrite to that block, it first has to completely empty it and this decreases performance. And someone could potentially recover the data that was on that block, possibly stealing personal information. So this script every 5 hours "trims" (clears blocks considered empty) /data, /system, /preload and /cache, prolonging your phones storage lifetime and improving performance. And it creates a log file to /data so you can see how much was "trimmed" You can read more about it here.
New feature! Cache dumping! Android caches apps for faster start-up and usage, but on some ROMs/Kernels this can cause lag after few days, or even few hours! Now this script dumps the cached ram for an instant speed boost!

Many thanks for doing this, makes things much easier to find and keep up to date now, a great help.
Sorry... misclicked
Will my s4 charge faster if i set the charging to 1900mA in the kernel?
Because i have a 4port usb charging port with an output of 3amps i believe.

@droidblitz you must keep the sTweaks settings for AC Charging at 1900mA in the Kernel & USB at 460mA
Only if you have a charger 1.9A charger only will it charge super-fast to full capacity - BUT it will also heat up the circuits & it's not advisable to use the phone at such times.
P.S - I don't have the original charger (nor do I have the original battery) so I use a 1A charger to fill the battery & it does the job in a few hours (around 4-5 hrs I guess) and it doesnt heat the battery or circuits much (which means my battery will last me much much longer)

No, it's for cm12.1 :/
Hope I helped :3
After I flash the Alucard Kernel, I go to STweaks to load the profile but it says no kernel support?
I had that, but if I went back to it after 30 seconds or so it showed all the settings. Check SELinux is set to permissive as well.
