Some people told me about sd-card problems. I don't think the problems came from the change, but I decided to enable again.
Disabling fsync will not raise performance that much, so we could keep fsync enabled.
If problems happen I guess keeping it enabled will help to save your data.

Disabled fsync can give you some filesystem performance gains but can give some data integrity issues. Data can become corrupted when facing a random reboot etc...
At least from what I've read recently. Its a reason why people complain about having sdcard issues in fsync off kernels.

Agreed, as far as I've read it also causes drop in read write speed. And the improvement in performance is not worth the loss in data.

I used system tuner to see how far I could lower my volts then created a script that runs at boot to set the voltages. You could also have system tuner do it for you on boot. I just like to make thing complicated :silly:

Using interactivex kernel. For the past few hours seems really good and stable. I'll report more tomorrow. Latest cm10 nightly 11/19
Thanks for the kernel, exactly what I was looking for, a stock kernel with enhancements, no oc and excessive tweaks. Thanks man!

Custom kernel for the P999, Gingerbread version
--- Smooth, Fast, Efficient ---I've been requested to make this kernel because development for gingerbread (and ICS/JB hackfest) is dead for this device. You asked for a fast and responsive kernel, here it is. 'nuff said.
Original work by Faux123***Like always, I am not responsible for any damage to your device related to the use of this kernel!***
Instructions
1) Flash any compatible ROM (CM7 or hackfest)
2) Send the kernel's flashable zip to your SDCard and install it via clockworkmod recovery
3) Reboot
Afterwards...
- First boot might be slower, this is normal
- Adjust the overclocking in Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Performance->CPU Settings. A Max CPU Frequency of 1015mHz is recommended if overclocking is not required. Remember to tick "Set on Boot"

So this is my first gingerbread kernel. It's based on Faux123's work, which is already well updated and relatively stable. I backported several memory management features which makes a good increase in overall performances and smoothness. This, of course, required some adaptations since they are "normally" only compatible with linux >2.6.37.
I will also investigate the CM7 bluetooth audio bug with the newest firmware. This is why I updated those drivers. If this issue is kernel-related, then there's something I can do.

Actually it's possible..Sometimes, BSODs on android are caused by a bad CPU frequency management from the governor. In some cases, the frequency would drop too low and the device will then crash.
If that's the case here, changing the governor to smartassv2 and updating it might've fixed that issue.

Ofcourse. It was the CPU governor, as increasing the min frequency to 51x MHz eliminated the BSODs during calls too. It was mainly occurred when screen turns on and off during call or during charge. Ur governor must hv fixed it. Anyway. One request. Can u get us the boot.img version for this kernel? as dual boot doesn't work without it.

Kernel+ for AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs
This is a kernel that I have been compiling and using on my own device for a while, and I want to share this with the community. I enjoy the CM10.1 stock kernel, but I want to keep up to date with the newest Linux version and CodeAuroraForum source. I also want the most optimized experience possible, along with a few extra features. Kernel+ is always built with the latest Linux kernel and Qualcomm CAF sources to provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience. The source can be found on my GitHub here Enjoy .
What is this?
This is a kernel based off of CyanogenMod's 'cm-10.1' branch of the Galaxy S III kernel.
Kernel+ is built with the goals in mind:
To always be up to date with the latest source from CodeAuroraForum and Kernel.org
To optimize as much as possible for the smoothest user experience
To base closely off of the CM10.1 kernel for optimal stability, not features
To provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience for users
Features
Linux 3.4.54
always up to date with the latest source straight from Qualcomm's CodeAuroraForum
latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain compiled
CPU frequency from 384Mhz - 1.5Ghz
FauxSound App support
FRandom built-in
GPU overclocked to 480 Mhz default
custom voltage control
excellent battery life
optimized and stable
small kernel size
more coming soon...

Instructions for Installing
1. Download the kernel.
2. Copy it to your phone.
3. Flash with TWRP or CWM.
Note: Kernel+ is packaged with invisiblek's AnyKernel, meaning that it will unpack your current ramdisk and repack it with this kernel during the flashing process. This means that it will be compatible with any AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, even if they have different ramdisks. Also, please make sure that you are currently running a stock AOSP kernel (CM10.1, AOKP, SlimBean, etc) before flashing Kernel+ so that your ramdisk will be compatible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I disable GPU overclock?
By default, the GPU is allowed an extra 480 Mhz freq step, whereas stock only allowed up to 400 Mhz. If you feel that you do not need the extra GPU 3D power, then you can disable it by adding the line:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_pwrlevel
to the file /system/etc/init.d/98kernelplus. Then reboot.
How do I adjust the voltages?
You can control the CPU freq voltages by using an app such as Trickster, System Tuner, SetCPU, etc.
What is frandom? How do I enable it?
Frandom is basically a more efficient random generator. It can be used in place of /dev/urandom and is 10 - 50 times faster. Using frandom will use very little of the kernel's Entropy pool, which in turn will provide better performance and smoothness. Frandom is already built-in to the kernel and enabled via an init.d script. No need to manually enable it.

I have noticed this too...but I think I had it in the CM kernel too if I remember correctly. Anyways, I am currently testing different MDP bandwidth parameters to get it fixed.
But for now, the flicker seems to go away if you check disable hw overlays in developer options.

Right. It's actually gone in the CM 10.1 kernels... a bug that was squashed some time ago. Other than that though, this kernel is really good! I've noticed better battery after using it last night into this morning.

No, because drawing anything more than 500mA through USB is dangerous and not recommended.

Not yet, but I will be adding support for that soon. Note that there is an occasional flicker with this kernel on a handful of apps...it shouldn't be too bad, and I'm currently trying to fix it. But if it gets annoying you can disable hw overlays to fix it.

I just finished tweaking the MDP bandwidth parameters, and I think I have found the sweet spot. There is no more flickering at all. Just a few more things I need to add and it will be ready for a new release, probably tomorrow.

I recommended interactive with row if you want performance and alright battery life. But if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for battery life, I recommend conservative with row.

Running solid so far. Apparently there's an update for the fauxsound drivers to 2.1, while this one has 2.0. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Odin flash failed this time. Tried several times, even restarted my PC.
Ok i will make a new package later
First of all, thanks for doing this for such an unpopular device. Some wishes / suggestions here.
Would very much appreciate if you make the kernels CWM flashable, as suggested earlier here by someone else.
Possible to enable undervolting support? Would be interesting to experiment with both overclocking and voltage setups.

All the other developers who contribute to the D2 kernel upstream
Changlog 9/27/14
1.)Kernel updated to linux upstream version 3.4.104 straight from kernel.org and to B14CKB1RD v2.3
2.) Added Fast Charge support
3.) Added Optimax Governor and removed unneccesary ones
4.) Did various other fixes in source
As usual my personal preference is Wheatley Governor and SIO I/O scheduler as i get great performance and battery life with it
Awesome!! Thanks for your work. Great battery and performance with this kernel in liquid, carbon and omni! Thanks for do it

Which one do I need for cm11, is it TeamApexQ Roms ?
Can you rename the files to see a difference ?
I can't vouch for which one cm11 will use as its kernel varies between both...what happens is between my ROMs and omni/fat toad is graphical tearing...if one of these 2 causes this said tearing then try the other...I'd say try using TeamApexQ version first...

Notice reboots typically occur when accessing data (Internet) but not only Wi-Fi. No games, just Googling something. Also, using no themes. Did use trickster mod to set up your recommendation of sio/Wheatley, but that's it.

That's most likely the reason you get reboots...trickstermod is a known issue on a few devices....you can actually set governer and i/o scheduler under performance settings itself....unfortunately there no known fix even if you uninstalled the app except for clean wiping....I do not use any tweaking apps and have yet to get any reboots

I also have trickster mod along with pimp my rom, and a few others. I have also experienced some reboots until I put min at 1350 and max at 1512 and performance gov and io scheduler row. To do a "clean wipe" does this mean a full factory reset. I hope not. That is just something I am not going to do. That's why I'm still on carbon and not on the liquid rom.

i suppose a uninstall of trickster mod AND pimp my rom and a dalvik wipe and cache wipe then do a dirty flash of rom and then do the kernel same method will work...but curious as to why use outdated and unsupported apps like this when it has it built into the rom itself....im not intending to come off negative but this app and kernel tuner has been widely known since jellybean to cause reboots and even bricks of some devices. the min cpu should also NEVER be set higher than 480....thats one way to really overheat and kill battery hence why i removed the mpdec touchboost that teamapexq uses
I'd love to add some (or all) of the governors and schedulers to the stock kernel (4.1.2). Do you have a github for the source? It would be super appreciated.

Interesting perspective. I've rooted and run many custom ROMs and kernels on a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, HTC One m7, and Nexus 5 with Trickster Mod and have never seen that app cause random reboots if the kernel parameters are set within reason (no UV or OC). Maybe I've just been lucky, but that would be very, very lucky as that lack of reboots applies to every ROM and every kernel combination with every single device I've tried over a few years. Even though I'm selective as to what I flash, that's in the hundreds as I can flash several times a day. And all with Trickster Mod on board.
The Relay 4G just seems unduly fragile to me. I've seen it reboot more times in a week than the other devices I mentioned randomly reboot in a year. I'm certainly not blaming any dev for this (and am thankful for all the efforts put here) and want to acknowledge just how difficult it must be to squeeze these great ROMs into a device that probably wasn't designed to handle them. Again, no disrespect to the OP.

Well nexus devices are built pretty vanilla when it comes to android so its compatibility outreaches more....I've had reboots on every Motorola and HTC devices I've owned....I know for me I haven't had a reboot but I guess I'm lucky....but it could just be small incompatibilities in our code that may cause this and we just haven't found them or figured it out yet

Which is probably why, as a flashaholic, I stick to Nexi(?). My girlfriend, however, insists on a physical keyboard *sigh*.
Thanks for the ROMs and kernel; you're singlehandedly keeping this device relevant. Well, you and TeamApex.
