[KERNEL][3.0.72][TouchWiz] •∞ CYMBALINE •∞ RD04 •∞ 3.5 •∞ [12-APR-2013]
WARNING: This Kernel is for Samsung Jellybean (4.1.2) TouchWiz ROMS only. Do NOT flash this on aftermarket AOSP derivatives. You can flash this on any ROM based off Samsung Jellybean Release or leak (UCMC1, UCLL3, UCLK4, UXUMA7, Embryo 6, etc.)
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, IF YOU ENABLE BLN IT REQUIRES AMPERAGE, ITS OHMS LAW, SO DONT TALK ABOUT BAT. LIFE. AND GOVERNORS ARE ALSO NUMBER ONE CAUSE FOR RANDOM REBOOTS OR COMPLETELY BORKING IF MISCONFIGURED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THE ONLY GOVERNORS I WILL SUPPORT OR ONDEMAND or SAMSUNG, PERIOD. ALL OTHER GOVERNORS ARE CRAP AND REALLY NOT NEEDED (UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXTREME USAGE PATTERN, THEN WRITE ONE YOURSELF). I ONLY INCLUDED A FEW AS I KEEP GETTING REQUESTS AND AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT HARM THE BUILD, I WILL INCLUDE IT.
EDIT: Post updated 12-APR-2013
Do NOT ask about the BLN hack. I have not incorporated it, I believe the JB platform supports it without Kernel Hack, I will think about it. Availble from 3.5 onwards.
Posting Protocol

First and foremost this is a dev thread. If you cannot contribute to the advancement of the kernel don't post here, post it in the general thread here. Things I expect are:
* dmesg or kmsg (adb shell dmesg) logs for the kernel. Also a full logcat will help for any issues.
* Accurately describing the setup include how to replicate it.
* If you wish to share your configuration, I am ok with it.

A lot of kernel features (O/C) can you tuned via sysfs userspace interface. You can script them or if your
ROM provides it (like my Embryo 6) use it.
FEATURES/CHANGELOG

(I will update this as I find time). Please use sysfs interface for tuning or if running Embryo 6, use the ROMCustomizer. Note: this is a high quality and no warning build, i.e it needs to meet my standards and upstream linux grinder.
* [RD03][3.3] Cymbaline-JB-RD04-3.5
Code:
- [B]BLN[/B] added. Please note: Embryo-6.11 it can enabled via ROMCustomizer (see pics in Post #2).
The interface is CM version 10, implemented to SR by me.
You would need an external app for fine grain control of the notification (i.e. per app),
in general android 4.1.2 already has support for Notification LED.
- Skipped internal release 3.4
- updated Ramdisk to UCMC1 (RD04), official ATT/Samsung JB release.
- merged to upstream linux (3.0.72).
- enabled hotplug, lagfree governor.
- cherry-pick from caf.
* [RD03][3.3] Cymbaline-JB-RD03-3.3
Code:
- Added latest (v4) row io-scheduler.
* [RD03][3.2] Cymbaline-JB-RD03-3.2 (UNRELEASED)
Code:
* Added USB fast charge option. NOTE: Embryo-6.7 will have the option in ROM Customizer. Or, you can change it via sysfs
[CODE]
# echo 1 > /sys/power/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
NOTE: Since this will force to draw more power, please be mindful of the repercussions.
* Disabled lulzactive governor. I will look at incorporating it later.
* cherry-picked various upstream patches. the source should be current.
[/CODE]
* [RD03][3.0] Cymbaline-JB-RD03-3.1
Code:
* Disabled intellidemand governor. It appears that may cause some devices to not boot. I will look at incorporating it later.
* more upstream cherry-picks.
* [RD03][3.0] Initial release Cymbaline-JB-RD03-3.0
Code:
* per CPU O/C : Upto 1.83GHz (Note: 1.83GHz will be unstable in lot of situations).
* per CPU B/W : Bandwidth boost for all O/C frequencies.
* per cpu Governors: Added a bunch of governors. NOTE: The default is "samsung" (and which is the only one I useI have NOT tested any of the other governors or use it)
* GPU O/C:
3D Mode: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000

It could be that you are out of space in system. Are you running stock UCLL3? It has no space I believe in /system. I need to confirm. But if you can paste the recovery.log (that will usually tell you)
3.1 released
Uploaded 3.1. See changelog. Basically disabled intellidemand governor, probably the cause for the blank screen.
3.3 released
3.3 released (please read the changelog in Post #1)
- If you are on Embryo 6 I will release 6.7 later..that will include the new kernel.

Will you put up a version of the Hercules? We have couple of touchwiz job ROMs that could use the vibration fix

Looking forward to it, I know things take time, and for sure focus on you first obviously..... can't wait to try the JB ROM
Reed make any scripts for this kernel here ?
On another note ... Whatever hardware / phone you move to next in the years to come, I will be following suit because that is just how good of a dev you are. All the best !

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST #1 and POST #2, UNDERSTAND, READ IT AGAIN, BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO FLASH.
* THIS KERNEL IS ONLY FOR ICS (Android 4.0.x) TouchWiz (Samsung/ATT ICS releases, i.e any UCLF6, UCLF5, UXLF3, UCLD2, UCALC2) ROMS. It is NOT for after market ROMS like CyanogenMod or AOKP.
* The ONLY device that it has been tested is ATT SGH-I727 and Rogers SGH-I727R.
* CYMBALINE 2.X is a complete overhaul from 1.X series, if you have been using 1.X series, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to 2.X series.

TUNING SCRIPTS

Click to collapse
For Gov/OC/UV/UC tuning scripts for various governors. If you don't like to use an app (as lot of them cannot do fine grained tuning) you would like to use init scripts, then please see @ReedX50v scripts in this thread. The only requirement is "busybox run-parts init.d supports", most custom ROM's with modified Ramdisk kernel image should have that built-in. If it not, then bang your ROM author to provide one.
* For Cymbaline 2.6 and above (any ramdisk version, i.e. any of the RDNN) use the information in following post #574. You might also read the post #249, for some background information. Please thanks ReedX50v.
* For Cymbaline 2.5 and BELOW (any ramdisk version). use the scripts (again thank Reed50Xv). Use the scripts from the following post #249.

You can use 3rd Party APPS for CPU and Voltage Control. For Voltage, it is using the Faux VDD tables, so the app MUST be able to understand that. (See ADDONS section below).
[RD04][2.8]
updated to linux 3.0.46 upstream.
Experimental, ported CM10 bln with blink support (updates your lights lib in ROM). Not sure how great this is but feedback is appreciated.
WiFi sensitivity restored to stock.
[RD04][2.7]
updated to linux 3.0.42 upstream.
Ramdisk updated to support boot sounds. (remove /system/etc/PowerOn.ogg if you don't want it)
merged to latest (09/09/2012) CAF relevant changes.
[RD03][2.6]
Changed Ramdisk (def. governor changed from "ondemand_sammy" to "ondemand".
updated to linux 3.0.40 upstream.
updated WiFi stack to 1.15.55
Skipped internal releases 2.4 and 2.5.
FIX: Now overclock should be fully supported.
[RD02][2.3] Minor release, only one version now. Hacked to ensure that the max. boot ramp up is only 1.566GHz. If your phone can't handle that, sorry return it .
Added two more governors as modules : "savagedzen" and "hotplug"
Unified release, hack in place to not ramp up to the MAX allowed i.e. (1.836Ghz) so all phones should boot, as the boot max is set to 1.566GHz.
merged some bt code from Cymbaline 1.5 branch.
[RD02-2.2] Please note RAMDISK change, see below
Samsung ondemand governor moved as "ondemand_sammy", did this so that I can merge the standard ondemand and mods w/o creating a merge headache. Due, to this, the SAMMY settings in the RAMDISK modified to reflect the new name.
using linux ondemand with faux mods. (thanks faux123)
added faux's intellidemand as a built-in gov, since I like it (thanks faux123).
reverted the wi-fi optimization, which was causing tethering issues. (hopefully this is fixed)
pre-emptive strike: merged all Govs from 1.5. Please don't complain that I am missing one. As usual all these are in /system/lib/modules. so you would need to "insmod" (see ReedX50v scripts for samples). Here is the remaining ones (please see RD01-2.1 ChangeLog for others)
Code:
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_brazilianwax.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_lionheart.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_lulzactive.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_ondemandx.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_wheatley.ko
[RD01-2.1]
BLN Fix: reverted 2.0 changes, should work now
Providing two CWM flashable zips. One OC to 1.8366GHz and another with OC Capped at 1.566GHz.
Upped the voltage to 1350mV as per ReedX50v testing results and recommendation (hit his thanks button).
IMPORTANT: ALL CUSTOM GOVERNORS are compiled a Kernel Modules. Please use init script to enable the ones you want. I have done this so as to eliminate any interference from them.
This version has the following Governors: (Please see Post #420)
Code:
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_adaptive.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_badass.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_lagfree.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_lazy.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_pegasusq.ko
/system/lib/modules/cpufreq_smartass2.ko
[RD01-2.0] Major version change. REMOVED SOME GOVERNORS, please restore to stock ondemand before flashing (i.e. disable init scripts or apply on boot settings in whatever app you are using).
Updated to upstream Kernel 3.0.38
Bunch of NetFilter kernel modules in /system/lib/modules for the interested users.
I have removed some governors, please reset to default governor "ondemand", before flashing.
cherry-picked key changes from CAF.
GPU OC (NOTE: please use sysfs interface to change the frequency the default is stock values, see post #2)
3D Mode: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000

Cherry Picked various bits from Samsung Code released for our device.
CPU OC: 192KHz - 186300KHz.
Cleaned up BLN code.
Added some WiFi fixes.
This is mainly a release based of the major overhaul.
Added more I/O Schedulers: BFQ (v3r4), Simple I/O, VR.
[1.5] Please see the posts for the evolution of this version, the last post should detail the final changes (208) #151 , #161 and #208
[1.4] Scaled down the defaul ondemand governor to 1.566 (slight oc). Should perform really well for people satisfied with the defaults.
[1.4] Added more governors for people to play around with, note, I would like to trim it down in futures versions of cymbaline. The newly added ones are (thanks to whoever developed them):
brazilianwax
ondemandx
lionheart
SavagedZen
wheatley
scary
[1.4] Moved init.qcom.post_boot.sh into the ramdisk, to not depend on ROM variances. You should use the /system/etc/init.d hook (of course busybox must be installed).
[1.3] bugfix: the max. freq. was not enabled in 1.2, fixed in this release.
[1.3] some compiler tweaks added building this version of kernel.
[1.2] Restored settings to Stock Governor & I/O scheduler.(ondemand/cfq)

[1.0] bootanimation support, drop your favorite bootanimation.zip in /system/media.
[0.0-0.6] Front Camera fully functional WITHOUT any lib hacks for Skyrocket ICS ROMS. Which means keep dont change the libs.
[0.0-0.6] Back Camera working.
[0.0-0.6] Completely removed MMC_ERASE capability, that means with the running kernel any erase to internal sdcard will error out. This is implemented as per the "brickbug" recommendation.

As far as I know (not tried it), only SystemTuner provides the "lipstick" for reading the voltage table and allowing you granular control of the voltage for each frequency.
Most of the other apps, can I believe allow you to change the CPU/IO scheduler/Govs, safely.
Or, if you are hardcore, please see this post 249 by ReedX50v (hit his thanks button), for graciously providing flashable init scripts, you can use one as a template to what works for you.

1) ROM Developers Info.
If you are planning to bundle this kernel in your ROM. The Samsung init.qcom.post_boot.sh has been disabled and moved to the ramdisk. Your changes should be incorporated in /system/etc/init.d scripts (of course need busybox installed). NOTE: the init scripts always execute after the above script, so you can always override the values there.
2) How do I find the available governors?
Below adb command, will tell you what the available governors in the kernel are (assumes adb/rooted) (shown in 1.4 kernel):
Code:
$ adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
brazilianwax ondemandx SavagedZen wheatley scary smartassV2 badass lazy intellidemand lagfree lulzactive interactive conservative ondemand userspace powersave Lionheart performance
3) Sysfs interface for GPU OC?
The GPU OC Modes are supported:
Available frequencies:
Code:
3D: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000
2D: 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 160000000, 96000000, 27000000
The default (and the default in CYMBALINE Version 2.0 and above) stock values are:
Code:
3D @266MHz and [email protected]
To change the values use the sysfs interface here are the relevant samples to max it all out. (you can make an init script to make it permanent)
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "Overclocking GPU"
echo 320000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/max_gpuclk
echo "End"
exit 0
4) Why does the CPUSpy show reaching max. CPU frequency, even though the bundled values 1.52GHz?
This is caused by SAMMY ROM ramping up the CPU's to the Max. during boot. I am looking for a clean way for this to not happen, once I find the source (I have few things narrowed down)...
This is really exciting! Read about this in your other thread and started to pitch a tent.
Bluetooth is not a deal breaker for me so let me know if you need a tester for camera.
Can test on whatever rom needed. Stock, etc.

Well, good thing folks like the OP are still around then...
Thought I was noticing a theme in your rom/kernel names and was going to ask if this (and Embryo) were named for Pink Floyd songs.
But then I thought I'd use Google before asking and I found your post stating that Embryo was in fact named as a dedication to the Pink Floyd song (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25925976&postcount=287 ).
Would love to see you do something -- anything -- with the song, "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"

Thanks to XsMagical and Team Nocturnal for the video!
What is coming soon:
Code:
-Fast Charge for ROMs that support it (such as AOKP JB)
What I hope to add but no promises:
Code:
-MSM DCVS governor
-GPU control
-Gamma/Color control (tightly integrated... there is loose integration with current 3rd party apps)
What is never coming so don't ask:
Code:
-BS patches and features
Download: http://code.google.com/p/rohan-kernel-evita/downloads/list
b6 and onwards include two versions: a NORMAL version and a NOVC version. First try the NORMAL version. If that does not work correctly, then try the NOVC version, which includes all features except voltage control.

Recommended values:
192mhz Minimum
1.98ghz Max
I/O: sio
CPU Gov: intellidemand
Use an app like No Frills CPU Control and set the values you want at boot.
These are extremely alpha builds. They are not fully tested and may brick your device. If something does happen to your device, you are not to blame myself or any others involved in this kernel. Flashing this is solely your responsibility and if something happens, blame yourself. Always make a backup before flashing. Making a nandroid of your boot partition takes a few seconds but could help you save your device from bricking.

My goal for this kernel is to make it simply an enhanced stock JB kernel.

Because I do not want to manage 2 kernels at the same time, on top of my three ROMs. I will be including some ramdisk tweaks in the future, and the ramdisks vary between AOSP and Sense.

- Reboot into recovery
- Flash the zip
(Another way: Reboot into recovery without copying the zip, and flash it via adb sideload)
- (Optional) Wipe cache and/or ART cache
- Reboot and have fun!
Coming from another kernel? Then I suggest you to (at least!!!) dirty flash your stock rom and kernel in order to avoid any issues!

Last Updated 2016-07-09
F.A.Q. (Read this before crying!!!!)
Q: Why did you develop this kernel?
A: Read the OP.
Q: ERMAHGERD DIS KERNEL SUCKZ, MAH BATTERY IS DEAD IN 30 MINS, PLZ HALP!
A: When I created this kernel, I never had the intention to have it decrease battery life. So before / instead of complaining, go check your f***ing wakelocks and fix them! The kernel isn't responsible for this, your apps and/or services are.
Q: Will this kernel work on AOSP/CM12.1/CM13 ROMs?
A: Go here for that.
Q: Will this kernel work on the GPE ROM?
A: Yes. And it'll also allow you to use this ROM without having to format /data to ext4.
Q: How do I report bugs?
A: If you wanna report a bug, then grab your kernel log - either by pulling /proc/last_kmsg (in case of a random reboot / kernel panic or oops) or copying the output of "dmesg" via shell - and paste it at pastie.org and link it in your post (or save it to a text file and attach it to your post). Don't bother getting logcats, they don't apply for kernel debugging purposes.
Q: How do I flash this?
A: I suggest you scroll up and read the OP. The instructions are there.
Q: How do I tweak this kernel?
A: Download Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store and have fun. For Synapse, scroll up and read the OP first.
Q: This kid is such a n00b!
A: Oh well then, why don't you go work on a kernel yourself, instead of criticizing my work and, by doing so, wasting your time?

Kaminari SuperLite (previously "Optimized Stock Kernel")
Since KaminariLite has been discontinued, and Kaminari has become cleaner regarding features, I've been working on a version closer to the stock kernel, only more optimized.
Enter Kaminari SuperLite!
Diferences between this & the stock kernel:
- Compiled using generic Linaro 5.3 toolchain
- Bumped to Linux version 3.4.112
- Compiled with -O3 and misc optimization flags flags (Same as Kaminari)
- Most if not all of Kaminari's optimizations have been applied
- All governors except Interactive removed
- Supports both stock and GPE roms, regardless of filesystem (f2fs or ext4) used on /data
- Adds init.d support
- Default ZRAM size changed to 400MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Differences between this & Kaminari:
- All governors except Interactive removed
- AutoSMP removed
- All TCP congestion algorithms except Westwood and Reno removed
- Additional I/O schedulers (zen, vr, sio, fiops, bfq) removed
- All non-essential features (FauxSound, Kcal, Dt2w...) have been removed
- Stock PowerHAL has been re-enabled
- Compressed using LZO (Kaminari uses XZ)

So it is only for stock 5.1 right?
Edit: Working smoothly on stock 5.1
Keep it up.
Working great on XT1031 with stock 5.1. Nice job!

No, no plans for aosp/cm support yet - mainly because of my limited knowledge. But i'll consider making a version supporting these two
New build in the works! Just trying to fix a bug where all CPU cores stay online (needless to say that this causes a gigantic battery drain)
New build up!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811341
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811344 - "Mori" version - with S2W/DT2W
Changelog here.
I'm getting an update binary execution error with TWRP, with both new builds. I tried disabling the device check in the anykernel.sh but no go. Also, I noticed in the init.kaminari.rc file in the zip, there is a typo in the power mode lines. It has 2 lines for cpu2 and none for cpu3. I just noticed the same thing with Optimus V41 Prime earlier today.

The previous zips i made here worked fine (i flash them through adb sideload). And i just fixed the init.kaminari.sh. Plus i've fixed s2w/s2s in the Mori version (dt2w is still partly broken though).
New build up!
Version: 0.96b
Download: Regular Version | "Mori" Version (DT2W)
Changelog here, but for those who don't wanna go there:
- Fixed s2w (dt2w halfscreen is still broken)
- Fixed derp in init.kaminari.sh
GPE users, please test my builds if you can / feel courageous enough to do it
I give up, except for the first build, they won't flash in recovery for me.

I'll upload a zip without anykernel later. Btw, which version of twrp are you on? And do you have sufficient space in /system? Because this kernel pushes modules to it. I'm on twrp 2.8.7.0 + a modified stock rom, and i've had zero flashing errors so far
For those who are having problems with anykernel, i've uploaded special flashable zips without it.
Version is still 0.96b.
Downloads: Regular | DT2W
Version 096b flashed without any problems.
Just put the zip in the root of internal storage.
cool everything is just superb @kingkaminari hope you keep updating this kernel

Hiya fellas.
This is a sister project to my original (and ridiculously outdated) kernel for stock ROMs only. The version in this thread is the one designed to work with anything that isn't the stock firmware, i.e., AOSP, AospExtended, LineageOS, Resurrection Remix,... You name it. Even MIUI, which can be a b**** to get custom kernels supported on.

Will not let me change the minimum frequency of the CPU whenever I lay below 787 MHz to 5 minutes switches to the same, Tube to disable the "MPDecision" so that the frequency is not changed (sorry my english im use google traductor)

Didn't have that problem here. My phone's minimum frequency stays at 300MHz all the time. Try another governor. And don't disable mpdecision

Sir King Kami Nari ,
Have you modified Interactive ?

No. Interactive has been left untouched.
If you come from Hurtsky's Hybrid Kernel or Flashhhh's Optimus Kernel, don't forget to re-enable MPDecision - just rename /system/bin/mpdecisionbak to /system/bin/mpdecision.

Try and several governors and feel the same, the only solution is to disable "MPdecision"
EDIT: The problem is when you lock the phone, no matter how infrequently the minimum of changes to 787mhz cpu and if I turn off the mpdecision not happen

I actually was having a similar problem to this not long ago but not this particular kernel.
Just fooling around I found that if I flashed any kernel after rebooting system I would have the problem you described, however if I flashed the ROM, Gapps, and kernel in recovery all together before initial boot everything works as it should.
Not sure why this is but I have experimented and it is the only solution I have found so far.
Hi all,
this is the thread about the CM version of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 lte.
Note: This kernel is only for CM based roms!!! Do not install it on a Samsung based rom!!!
For Omnirom, please do not use the CM kernel but the separate Omnirom kernel I also provide.
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621308
Support
First read about "Known Issues" in 2nd post!
FirstSecondly read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse any support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it. Test w/o Xposed first, if issue still occurs then report here. If issue doesn't occur anymore, also report here so I can list under "Xposed known issues"
Lastly, if you are using one of the latest versions with anykernel, please read this before proceeding

Hi all,
it is time for the first CM13 kernel with the new anykernel concept.
Before you start, make sure you have read and understood the following:
http://boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/7...new-anykernels
If you ask questions which are addressed in this article, or you have issues which are a consequence of not reading the article, I will not answer. It is your responsibility to understand what you do BEFORE you do it.
(and also read this for more background: http://boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/6...ernels-new-app)
Side note:
Although the kernel is now likely to be much more compatible with custom roms using CM basis, I will not change my support conditions at all. If you report an issue on a non-original CM rom, do not expect me to react (http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support)
Ensure you update to latest Boeffla-Config App 2.3.1 BEFORE you flash the new kernel !!!
Enough threatening now, here we go:
Version 5.1-beta1
12.07.2016
Note: This is the first Boeffla-Kernel with the new anykernel concept.
Make sure you read and understand the basics: Boeffla-Anykernel Know-How and New concept kernels/New app
Note: You have to use Boeffla-Config version 2.3.1 or newer in order to use all functionality !!
This kernel as exactly the same functionalities as the last stable kernel release
Enjoy

History
Basically I created the Samsung version of Boeffla-Kernel as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!! Which in fact for the CM kernel means now... close to CM kernel sources.
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration"
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
[*] anykernel method to use the ramdisk of the installed rom
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
Any TC other than google's
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for CM13 based ROMs. It is not designed to run on Samsung based roms! AOSP based is not tested, though it should work.
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* Lord Boeffla (For providing kernel in the first place )
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!
Disclaimer
*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in TWRP recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
Cheers and enjoy

Known Issues
Known Issues NOT involving Xposed
1. SuperSU and Superuser other than Stock DOES NOT WORK on Temasek ROM and possibly all other CM13 ROMs
2. F2FS WILL NOT WORK, AND WILL NOT EVER WORK, AS DESCRIBED IN OP
Known Issues involving Xposed
None I have experienced thus far.
To-Do List
1. Fix SuperSU because I really love it.
2. Archi Optimisations Test Doesn't work
3. Make file names correspond to "beta" tag
1. Attempt bug fixing Archi Opti Test
1. Test on AOSP ROMs
2. Dragon TC??
Installation
Dirty flash works fine, just remember to clear cache.
If you are coming from another kernel e.g. agni kernel, you must wipe /system (not just flash ROM zip for the updater script) and flash everything accordingly.
If you need specifics on what to do first, follow ROM installation instructions and right after you flash ROM zip just flash boeffla ZIP
If you still don't understand you should not be here and should be reading up on what flashing zip is...
Credits & a History Lesson
Credits other than those listed in OP:
1. @Lord Boeffla for allowing me to port, and post this thread.
2. @ZaneZam for guidance
3. @aaz03 YES I DID IT
I take absolutely no credit, all work was done by @aaz03 and all I did was follow his instructions and pester @ZaneZam a bit, and I got a flashable zip that works.
A very, very unimportant history lesson
So, I was looking at github.com/n0aaz and I saw he was trying to port boeffla. I PM'ed aaz, and he told me his laptop broke so he couldn't continue. He then asked me to help him continue and that he was very close to completion. However he rarely responds to PM, so I contacted @ZaneZam to ask for more guidance. He was very helpful and kind of guided me through how I should use the build script/edit the build script, and how to manage the boot.img
Well, @aaz03 you were very very close to completion indeed, you just had to take a new boot.img from CM. Uber toolchain was probably another factor.
Boeffla 5.0beta34 will be built this weekend or when I have time.
I will not be providing new Boeffla Builds where the changes do not concern i9305 (eg, just source updates for other devices) I will only be providing when there are universal updates.
Feel free to post bug reports here instead of the bug reports tab (I don't even recall if I enabled that tab)
If you want screenies tell me, I got stuff to do for now
Can someone help test with other ROMs and especially AOSP ROMs?

Your advertising worked fine
I didn't know you've just started a Boeffla thread! Well done! Thanks for your work.
My answer to "what is the behavior of button backlight in boeffla?" is: I don't know, I didn't test.

Had time after dinner, here's beta34: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686106
Accessible via folder link in 1st post too. Now I bother to change zip names so it will be beta34 instead of alpha1 haha...
Anyways, as I was playing around trying to find a fix for supersu, I made backups and flashed while taking a log. Well, after I booted to system and prepared adb for a log, it booted, and surprisingly no bootloops! And it's a wierd solution that I found: Don't charge phone while booting. I attempted this 2 times, and the 2nd time it worked because I was not charging phone. Wierd? I know right...!
Great to see that development is still strong after all those years. Congrats on getting it all done and thanks to all your work you did the last few weeks/months.
Whats your problem whit f2fs?
The original boeffa support it.
Its really good future and really improve the performance.
F2FS has noting todo with the mentioned optimizations. Both can survive next to each other .

Which kernel or sound app are you using or recommend to configure the beoffla sound settings? Can you link it?
Its already linked in op, sorry.
Running this on CM13 (pan's build, set to Muppett's RIL).
All seems to be working OK so far.
I'm using the Boeffla Control App V2 linked to in the OP. This has Boeffla sound settings in it, all seems to be working fine.
Now I just have to wait and see if the network issues I get when I use AGNi kernel on CM13 (but not CM own kernel) stay away.
Sorry haven't seen it in op. I am a newbie and didn't read the op proper .
Small issue - I set the charging current to 1500mA and turned on ignore unstable charging etc.
When I do this on AGNi, the 'Galaxy Charging Current' app says 1500 for 'reference', 'maximum' and 'average'.
On Boeffla it says 1500 for 'reference' but only 1000 for the other two numbers.
I had a bootloop when try boefla kernel with cyanide latest version.
So I try it with temasek and everything's working fine here, will test to see if the ril problem is fixed. Good work ! Thanks for bringing back this awesome kernel.

Try using ampere or just the built in on the 1st page of boeffla config app, it'll correspond.
Also, now you can set charging current to 1600
