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)

(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

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.

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

Looks like Kernel Installer 1.8 is in the making.

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)
Current features
Code:
- multi-touch gestures (on devices with [url=http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/08/does-your-huawei-u8150-support-multi-touch-gestures/]supported hardware[/url])
- over/under clocking of CPU frequencies
- Tiny RCU ([url=https://lwn.net/Articles/323929/]info[/url])
- BFQ I/O scheduler ([url=http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/]info[/url])
- simpleio scheduler ([url=https://github.com/erasmux/hero-2.6.29-flykernel/wiki/Smartass]info[/url])
- "ck" patch set, including the Brain **** CPU scheduler (BFS) ([url=http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ck/patches/2.6/2.6.32/2.6.32-ck2/]info[/url])
- optimized memcopy/memmove ([url=https://github.com/alanorth/kernel_huawei_u8150/commit/871656cbba8ee70d0896ac5cae35a31c2e0873e3]info[/url])

froyo-noma-dev commits (dev, bleeding edge)
froyo-noma commits (stable)
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)

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:
Why are you working on Froyo and not on Gigerbread?
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.
Download: noma_20110827v56_boot.img
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.

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

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.

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.

Ah, I forgot to mention this, which I now added to the OP:
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.
NEXT 2.1.8 placeholder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51678873&postcount=472
STOP! This kernel supports ONLY Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.x, 4.2.2, CM 10.1.x, 10.2, and 11.0 ROMs. It won't work on ICS, CM 9, CM 10.
FOR NOW I FORBID ANYONE ELSE REUSE THIS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT DUAL BOOT PROJECT FOR HIS/HER OWN GALAXY TAB 2 PROJECT!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
NEXT 2.x separated in two package: the kernel part as blackhawk-next-kernel-2.x-p51xx.zip and the proprietary binaries part as proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip for JB >= 4.2 (stock 4.2.2, CM 10.2) and proprietary-vendor-samsung-4.1.x.zip for JB 4.1.x (stock 4.1.2, CM 10.1) . Flash the kernel and then directly flash the proprietary binaries!

Dual Boot FAQs
Adapted from droidphile's "Dual Boot FAQs" with permission.
1. "Why would I wanna dual-boot?"
A. You don't have to.
Suppose you're more of an aosp rom fan. But misses the HDMI out, bluetooth hands-free and love sammy camera more. Do a minimal installation of sammy rom and boot into it when in need of these features and use aosp rom otherwise.
Or you are a sammy rom fan but love the responsiveness and pure android feel of aosp roms.
And while you can dual boot two sammy or two aosp roms, it doesn't make any sense.
2. "What if I don't need dual booting?"
A. No issues. Kernel won't force to setup 2 roms. You can single boot as before.
3. "Will dual booting change my bootloader or do any dangerous stuff like setting my phone on fire?"
A. NO. Changes are at kernel and ramfs level only. Some space in your internal sd card is used, and also the unused hidden partition mmcblk0p11 is used to store cache of second rom. Dual booting doesn't repartition the filesystem or perform anything scary.
4. "I want to setup dual booting."
A. There are four situations:-
1) Sammy rom now. Want to use aosp as secondary.
2) Sammy rom now. Want to use aosp as primary.
3) Aosp rom now. Want to use sammy as secondary.
4) Aosp rom now. Want to use sammy as primary.
Prerequisites for any setup is
a) Flash latest blackhawk's NEXT kernel
b) Flash new ducati vendor blobs (since 1.8.x)
c) Flash latest PhilZ Touch - blackhawk repack version - recovery
d) Atleast 90% battery left.
e) 2 GB free on internal SD.
f) Some spare time
1) Present sammy, setup aosp as secondary:-
i) Reboot into recovery
ii) Flash blackhawk's NEXT tool, create system.img for CM/CM based ROM and then close it
iii) Reboot into secondary recovery
iv) Flash aosp ROM as 2nd ROM
v) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
vi) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
2) Present sammy, setup aosp as primary:-
i) Reboot into recovery
ii) Nandroid backup your current sammy ROM
iii) Flash blackhawk's NEXT tool, create system.img for Samsung stock/stock based ROM and then close it
iv) Reboot into secondary recovery
v) Nandroid restore your sammy ROM as 2nd ROM
vi) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
vii) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
viii) Reboot into primary recovery
ix) Flash aosp ROM as 1st ROM
x) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
xi) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
3) Present aosp, setup sammy as secondary:-
Same as (1), instead of flashing aosp to second, flash sammy to second.
4) Present aosp, setup sammy as primary:-
Same as (2), instead of flashing aosp to first ROM, flash sammy.
NOTE:
-To dual boot Two Aosp or Two Sammy roms, just follow (1) or (2) (depending on which one of them you want as primary/secondary), just flash Sammy instead of aosp or aosp instead of sammy.
5. "What things should I be taking care off while dealing with dual booting?"
A. - Make sure where you are: in primary or secondary recovery.
6. "How to boot into primary rom?"
A. AROMA based boot menu will help you on every boot.
7. "How to boot into secondary rom?"
A. AROMA based boot menu will help you on every boot.
8. "Is kernel partition shared?"
A. Yes. Same kernel boots both roms.
9. "If I flash another kernel (that doesn't support db) do I lose dual booting?"
A. Yes
10. "I lost dualbooting after flashing another kernel. I didn't do anything to second rom files in sdcard/.secondrom. How can I get db back?"
A. Just flash the latest blackhawk's NEXT kernel, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
11. "Will there be any performance degradation on the rom used as secondary compared to primary?"
A. NO
12. "Will my phone run slow overall because of db?"
A. NO
13. "How to flash a newer version of 1st rom?"
A. As usual, just flash it from primary recovery. Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
14. "How to flash newer version of 2nd rom?"
A. Just flash it from secondary recovery. Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
15. "Would upgrading 1st or second rom cause other rom to fail on boot?"
A. No. Partitions of other rom are not touched during upgrading.
16. "I miss the recovery I used before, so much.."
A. PhilZ Touch not bad at all.
17. "User apps of 1st rom are automatically available for second rom?"
A. NO. However, if you had backed them up using Titanium Backup or similar apps, just restore apps while on second rom.
18. "I wanna keep separate backup for apps in both the Roms, since I use one Rom for say entertainment and other productivity."
A. Setup different backup directory in Titanium Backup in 1st and 2nd rom.
19. "I don't see STweaks app in second rom."
A. This is blackhawk's NEXT dual boot solution for Galaxy Tab 2, a free implementation of gokhanmoral's Siyah dual boot.
20. "Do I need to anything special before flashing a newer blackhawk's NEXT kernel?"
A. NO. Just flash kernel in primary and secondary recovery. Yes, on both 1st and 2nd ROM. Just flash kernel in recovery - whichever you used to do. Kernel image is copied to the unified kernel partition (since 1.4 version). Flash new ducati vendor blobs (since 1.8.x) on both ROM may be required to ensure vendor blobs match to the kernel
21. "How can I run same STweaks settings of 1st Rom in 2nd Rom?"
A. This is blackhawk's NEXT dual boot solution for Galaxy Tab 2, a free implementation of gokhanmoral's Siyah dual boot.
22. "How do I remove everything related to DB and run single boot again?"
A. In primary recovery, flash blackhawk's NEXT tool and delete 2nd ROM system image. OR delete .secondrom directory in /data/media while on 1st Rom.
23. "If secondrom files are kept in /data/media, will wiping data in recovery erase second rom files?"
A. NO. /data/media is skipped in CWM recovery.
24. "I was using ExFat card on sammy rom without any issues. I have setup dual boot with aosp and now after booting into CM it says microSD card is corrupted."
A. Aosp roms doesn't support ExFat out of the box. The data was corrupted by aosp vold. Even if you boot back to Sammy rom, it still would be corrupted. To recover data, manually mount the card in recovery, copy contents to internal SD and reformat card to a Fat32.
Also try
chkdsk X: /f (where X is the drive letter of microsd), you may be able to copy data.
25. "I read somewhere that both rom data partition use the same space. Doesn't that mean my apps are shared across roms?"
A. NO. It just means they uses same partition. They're still different directories.
1st rom data = /data
2nd rom data = /data/media/.secondrom/data
26. "Will hitting "Boot into Secondary Recovery" in recovery boot menu change my recovery?"
A. NO. It just runs (not flash) an alternate recovery so that you can configure dualboot settings.
27. "How do I backup 1st Rom and 2nd Rom?"
A. To backup 1st Rom, do what you did to backup rom while you were single booting a while ago.
To backup 2nd Rom, use the secondary recovery.
28. "Is there an easier way for dual-boot?"
A. Yes, send your device to me.
29. "DB architecture?"
A. Like you know, every rom has a /data, /system, /cache partition and a kernel to boot.
For primary rom, it's
mmcblk0p10 = /data
mmcblk0p9 = /system
mmcblk0p7 = /cache
And these won't change whether you're single booting or dual booting.
For secondary rom, data and system is stored in internal sd, cache in hidden partition. Note that internal sd in our device is mounted to /data/media.
We have data as a directory, System as an image in data/media/.secondrom. Cache in mmcblk0p11 which is hidden partition and not used otherwise.
- When second rom is booting, second rom data is bind mounted to mmcblk0p10 as /data/
- data/media/.secondrom/system.img partition is mounted as /system.
- mmcblk0p11 is mounted as /cache.
More FAQs will be added and the list will be updated as DB is improved.

Please try increase the CPU voltage by 25mV. In this version, CPU voltage 50mV lower than the previous values. You can use Android Tuner or /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh .
KK, you are a genius! This is working splendidly, I have cyanogen as my primary and blaster as my secondary and they are both workihg smooth for me so far... I have them both running currently at 1200 mhz and seem to be doing fine.. you have really made my day!

That's okay cuz I have No Frills set up for my CPU settings. Of course my public release is still running kkboot 1.6.
After looking at your install script IDK if I would include this in my ROM if/when you allow people to. I'll let them make up their own mind.

Personally, I found that Zap Blaster works well my device (p5113) because of the IR and such.. plus at the time it was overclockable and my HDMI output worked well with it. So, I decided to use it for awhile.. but I could not resist CM because it runs so smooth and I love how clean and reliable it has always been on me for this device as well as other devices I have owned.
Again, I am very happy about this DUAL boot option and I don't think I will change my setup for a time to come... My tablet is perfect now, in my opinion. Thanks again, KK.
The tablet behaviour between this kernel and the samsung original kernel is completely different! Ketut, if samsung would give a crap about their customers, they should buy this kernel from you and push it on all the galaxy tab 2... but that's not going to happen, so actually only the xda members have the chance to see their tablet working as it should, thanks to your work. Lucky us

can you add Stweaks support ?
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS! YOU ARE FLASHING THIS KERNEL AND ITS YOUR CHOICE TO DO IT OR NOT TO DO IT AND YOU'RE THE ONE DOING IT. I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS OUT.
REQUIREMENTS: UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND ROOT.
IMPORTANT: THIS KERNEL IS MEANT TO WORK ONLY ON STOCK ROM, IT WONT WORK ON CUSTOM ROMS, CUSTOM ROMS ALREADY PROVIDE WITH THE ROM CUSTOM KERNEL AS ALMOST ALL CUSTOM ROMS ALREADY USE MY KERNEL, THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE CUSTOM ROM KERNEL AVAILABLE IN DOTOS BUT FOR STOCK ROM. IT CAN WORK ON ANY LG G7 THINQ MODEL.
How to flash:
1. Download Smartpack Kernel Manager (free) from playstore or any other kernel manager that supports flashing zips such as Franco kernel manager, Ex kernel manager etc;
2. Go to Flash section in the kernel manager, in smartpack press on the 3 lines in the top left corner, scroll down and tap on SmartPack;
3. Press on the button that looks like a lightning, select the zip and wait for it to flash;
4. Reboot;
5. Enjoy.
Features:
- Compiled with Proton Clang 13.0;
- Upstreamed ZRAM compression and decompression algorithms, now ZRAM should be almost as fast as RAM;
- Sultan's Custom Input Boost;
- Sultan's Devfreq Boost;
- F2FS support.
- Rapid GC for F2FS thanks to Arter97;
- Modified CpuSets;
- Quad dac driver backported from LG V50 ThinQ;
- Simple lmk from sultan;
- 4.9.235.
- LA.UM.8.3.r1-08100-sdm845.0 CAF Tag, Why 8100 only and not newer ? Because it performs the best, i've tested even Android 11 tags, it performs worse, this tag is more efficient for battery life while maintaining same performance if not better;
- RCU backported from 4.14 kernel;
- Binder backported from 5.4 kernel;
- Cpu idle, lmp levels and pm qos improvements, should reduce idle drain.
- Sultan's Pid Map improvements. (Helps a lot in gaming performance, especially in genshin impact);
- A lot of KGSL improvements thanks to Sultan. (KGSL - GPU driver in the kernel);
- Cache improvements;
- Scheduler Improvements;
- CONFIG_HZ = 250;
- 128kb Readahead. Why ? Because thats the default value in linux and pixels as well;
- Updated Energy Model from freqbench result , this will lead to less power consumption;
- Removed inefficient frequencies;
- Added efficient frequencies in schedutil;
- Improvements in schedutil;
- Added support for steam & nintendo swich controllers;
- Many other improvements.

How to unlock bootloader
How to root:
This method works on any lg g7 thinq model apart TM (T-Mobile)
Firstly you have to unlock bootloader.
1. Install magisk manager
2. Boot into 9008 mode
3. Backup your boot_a image using Qfil (Read data)
4. Copy it to your phone
5. Rename it to boot_a.img
6. Go in magisk manager —-> install —-> Select and patch an image —-> select the image.
7. Copy the patched boot image file to your PC (its located in downloads folder in your phone)
8. Flash it with fastboot/qfil ( fastboot flash boot_a < drag and drop over the cmd the image > // select boot_a and load image in qfil)
NOTE: IF IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ROOTED THEN DO THE SAME PROCESS BUT WITH BOOT_B.

is there a step by step tutorial for this? im a newbie
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've successfully flashed this on my Korean variant G7 [G710N]
I have a problem with my 128GB SD card, my phone can't use it anymore when it is formatted as exFAT. When I insert it in my phone it always say that it is corrupted and that I need to format it, but when I format it in my phone it's formatted as FAT32. I'm sure that I've used a couple of exFAT SD cards before, is it because of this kernel?
Tested the kernel.. so far the lg g7 stays cool on geishin impact, and the battery last a little longer, nice job developer, thank for your job, just two questions ..
1: will the kernel be updated from time to time?(i hope so)
2: what are the best configs for this kernel(for battery and for performance)?

1. Yes it will be updated when i find more improvements to do in the kernel.
2. There are no configs, do not use any other modules related to performance,tweaks whatever those do worse do not try any ( examples like: nfs tweaker, zeetatweaks, fde optimiser) or whatever they were called just do not use this type of modules if you want the best performance and battery life. The kernel is already tuned for the best meaning you do not have to tweak anything.

I found a bug.
On 1.2 the gcam gone crazy, like no buffer fix installed (i already tried to disable and enable the module)
Edit: I was on 1.0 before the bug appeared.

The kernel should not affect this kind of stuff, you can try flashing 1.0 again, over 1.2, becauuse you can do that as it replaces the entire kernel there's no "updating" process its just replacing the kernel.

Gcam with buffer fix (Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145) is working fine for me.
Sorry guys, was the Secure boot. I enabled this after updated the kernel. Tried rollback 1.1, 1.0 and no sucess... the gcam was broken on 1.0 too. Then i thinked that could be the secure boot (Encendido Seguro in spanish). After reboot the gcam started going fine.
Sorry about my bull**** over 1.2.
Running the N0kernel for the first day and no problems so far, everything seems to be very stable. Cant really compare to stock, I only have the phone for a few days.
