[Q] Uber kernel question!! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I had a question I could use some help with.
I hear great things about uber kernel. But the problem
I am having is that when I flash the kernel my sound is not as loud
As it was. Let me explain. I am running dirty unicorns ROM with code blue
Kernel. I installed real nexus volume boost and put my settings to 95 speaker and 20 headphone setting. The sound improvement is very noticeable. But here is the problem. As soon as I flash uber kernel with same ROM and settings the sound is not as loud.. Can't figure this out.
Any help would be great.

did you reflash the zip from the real nexus 5 volume boost app? if you reflash a rom, you have to reflash the volume boost.

well, try reflashing it anyways. uber kernel might change sound as well somewhere.

thank you for your help, will try that. i think i did and it didn't work. but i can't remember so i will try.
thanks for answering.

Try disabling uber default settings through uber_v1.3.cfg (1st option to set to 0 instead of 1).

[Q] Which kernel should I get for MIUI 1.9.30?

And also, I was wondering if there was a way of getting the newest MIUI version without re-flashing, wiping and factory reset and that stuff, I really don't feel like starting off new again. So again what are your suggestions for kernels, I kinda like the idea of over clocking, but it isn't a necessity.
I am using the latest franco kernel on ideos x5 , i´m having some ocasional reebots . But he already said he would fix it , for what i know its a good kernel to use.
Franco's hands down.If you have any probs raise the voltages.

Where do I get this kernel, and I assume it can be used with MIUI 1.9.30? Also I forgot to mention I have a Samsung Infuse 4g, can I still get franco's kernel?

What is Voodoo/ Voodoo Kernel?

Hi all
I am really a newbie to this Android world, I recently bought a Google Nexus S (I9020T), and I have been looking for some ways to maximise its ability, and I came across something called Voodoo Kernel.
What is it exactly? What is the benefit of using it on my phone please?
Thanks
It's an optional feature of a kernel which provides a much better driver and config for the sound equipment in the nexuses.
Voodoo colours allows you to change the white balance of amoled displays (all nexus s besides i9023).

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
So voodoo kernel is basically a kernel contain Voodoo colours? That's all?
(btw, how is kernel different to a ROM?)
So in order to get this feature, do I have flash a completely new ROM please? or I can just download it and install on my phone?
Thanks

A ROM is the Operating System.
A kernel is the interface between the ROM and the hardware of the phone.
You can install a ROM with its own kernel,and after this,flash a new kernel,leaving the rom intact.

No, it's not just colours. As Harbb said, it contains a better audio driver too...you will feel the difference if you often listen to music on your nexus.
Don't think that you will need another ROM. Just flash a kernel that supports Voodoo and get the Voodoo Control App from the market. Given this app, you can change different voodoo settings.
I think I may get it now.
ROM is the operating system, like windows 7
Kernel is similar to the drivers in windows.
so all I need is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876132 ??
and installing/flashing a kernel will not wipe out my data, is it correct please?

Almost . Kernel is like the engine of your ROM. Flashing a new kernel will not wipe your data. Just boot into recovery then wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache. After that, choose zip file of the kernel, install and reboot.
The link you posted is not the only kernel which supports voodoo. A lot of kernels have this feature like Matrix, ICUP, Glados,....
A ROM is the full OS with both kernel and apps, like a installed copy of Windows 7. The kernel is the part of the OS that manages many things from talking to the hardware, managing tasks/apps executing concurrently, managing memory, etc. I don't know if the kernel in Windows 7 can be easily replaced, but it's very simple for Linux based OS such as Android.
If you want Voodoo, there are two ways to get it. You can root your phone, then download Voodoo Control Plus (I think it's still on special price right now), it will load the Voodoo Sound driver for you. You don't need to flash a custom kernel. But this will only give you Voodoo Sound, not Voodoo Colour. For Voodoo Colour, you must flash a kernel with Voodoo built-in. Depending the ROM you are using, you must pick a kernel suitable for your ROM. Ie. ICS ROM must use a kernel built for ICS, the same goes for GB.

Thank you for your reply.
I have looked around in this forum, there are a lot of kernels I can see.
As I know very little, can you recommend me one that is good for Android 2.3.6 in terms of the performance and battery life?
(I know it may sound a bit too much, but I just want to have a guide.)

Seems, as if Si_NZ is far more expert than me. I didn't know that Voodoo Sound works without a proper kernel .
Regarding a good kernel for GB, I like the Matrix kernel. It's a good combination of performance, battery life and stability. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100448&highlight=matrix, try the cfs version) But take into account that this is just a personal opinion and that there are a lot of good kernels out there. Have to go to sleep now...

does it matter whether my Android is 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 please?
By the way, why would you choose Matrix please? GLaDOS seems quite good as well (lots of features), also Netarchy seems good as well.
(Just wanna gather information and learn from other experts!!)

Yeah, that's the right one. And no, I don't think that it makes a difference if you have 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.
Of course, Glados and Netarchy are decent kernels too. I chose matrix because it gave me a really good battery life (lost only 3 percent during a whole night) and it's overclockable to 1,46Ghz and I think it has all the mods from glados builtin too. but just try the others too...
Thank you so much, I will find a time to flash a kernel today, may report back my experience.

I'm not sure if it works with ROM Manager, cause I've never used this. I've always used Clockwork RecoveryMod to flash ROMs and kernels.
Are you rooted and have ClockworkRecovery installed? If not, go to the Nexus S General Forum and there you will find Step-to-Step Guides how to do this.
If you are already rooted, boot into recovery and you'll find a backup option in the menu. When it's finished, just follow the steps I described a few posts earlier (wipe cache, wipe dalvik_cache, install kernel).
Thank you again!!
I just love this forum, people are so willing to share and teach!!

Voodoo sound, how?

I'm currently running Android 4.3 version of Slim Bean and I've been wondering how I could achieve the best quality of sound (music) on my Nexus S. How can I enable voodoo sound? Any help would be much appreciated.

Simply download Voodoo Sound app from the play store to change the settings. Voodoo Sound is built in the Marmite kernel that Slimbean comes with. You have nothing to install.

What's the procedure to switching kernels?
I am currently using code blue and I want to switch to Franco.
Do I do a factory reset and then flash the kernel?

Not necessary to factory reset or wipe. Simply dirty flash your Rom (or if stock, system.img & boot.img) then flash Franco kernel. Done! That easy [emoji106]

Im new in this things and i need some help. I have installed by fastboot the r65 and i see that you have r66, how can i put r66? I have to put stock kernel?
FK vibration is now 63 instead of 100, right?
I just installed it on my 5.0 preview rom. and according to the FKU app my vibration is 63 (I'm not rooted by the way).
However, i can't see a rollback from 100 to 63 at the changelog. That's why I am asking this.

Just flash it. That's it. It is an update. Kernel updates can always just be flashed right over each other . It's when you change kernel "brands" that you need to go back to the stock boot.img/ system.img first to avoid problems.

63 is Google's stock setting.
FK
Im new to FK and the nex5 so i just thought i would ask those that have been using this for a bit.. If coming from another custom kernel do i need to flash rom again than FK? Also.. Ehat settings have you found to be the most battery friendly?
Thanks and im loving all the wonderful development in this forum!
What ROM are you on? If it's sn AOSP-based ROM you should be good. The kernel won't work on any ROMs derived from Cyanogenmod. That's really the only caveat.
As far as settings I leave them at their default. The only thing I may change is undervolt by -25 on all frequencies but that's really it. The kernel as a whole includes changes primarily for battery friendliness so anything else isn't worth the effort to experiment with.
Besides, I think Franco sets some variables to suggested values anyways.

Just flash stock using the 5.0 factory image from Google.
faux sound
Can you please add fauxsound support?
Can we flash r67 on stock factory image from yesterday? Where there any kernel changes? Or Franco has to implement the changes first? Tia

Is the Miscellaneous WiFi bug present after you flash the kernel?
..
68 not
I guess the first thing would of been to backup 67 before installing 68. Especially if you had just downloaded LRX21O.

[KERNEL][NOUGAT] AKLU Kernel

Praise God! The AKLU kernel has arrived on the Galaxy Note Edge in the flavor of NOUGAT!
NOTE: I highly recommend turning off THERMAL CORE CONTROL! Use THERMAL TEMPERATURE THROTTLE instead. Thermal core control has been known to cause random reboots on this kernel before when gaming or during heavy use. You can use Kernel Adiutor to adjust these settings.
TBLTE AKLU KERNEL for AOKP 7.1.2!
MAY work for other LineageOS based roms, e.g., RR, PAC,AOKP, LineageOS, etc.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/pcownjeat1o2oub/AKLU-TBLTE-AOKP-N-20170427_kexec.zip
TBLTE AKLU KERNEL for SLIM 7.1.1!
MAY work for other AOSP based roms, e.g., OmniRom, LiquidDark, SlimRoms, AOSP, etc.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/cl0ahc00zmxcai2/AKLU-TBLTE-SLIM-N-20170224.zip
Logs and features:
Modified TBLTE kernel. Modified by the Alaskalinuxuser.
https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
20170427
- Updated kernel to include kexec hardboot for MultiRom support.
20170316
-Update for OMS support.
20170217
- Fix WiFi hot spot error for Nougat.
- Overclocked the GPU from 600MHz to 633MHz
- Overclocked the CPU from 2649MHz to 2688MHz
- Added governors: Bioshock, Lionheart, Nightmare, Darkness
- Removed input boost, use cpu boost instead
- Added I/O schedulers: FIOPS, ZEN
I haven't loaded up AOKP yet but this kernel is working beautifully with RR and the data fix. You rock man.

In theory it should work with any nougat rom based on LineageOS, but I have not proved that personally. Thanks for confirming that for RR and providing the feedback!

Thanks for the thought, but I do not accept donations. I just tinker for fun, and have my own rewards. Besides, guys like @Mickey387 did all the heavy lifting, I just try to put the device trees and vendor blobs to good use, with a few edits here and there. Glad to know that my work is appreciated, though.
The slim 7 aklu kernel appears to be slightly unstable at this time. Please use with caution.
EDIT: Updated the kernel and fixed a few bugs that I missed in the first build. SHOULD be better now. Please turn off thermal core control for best performance!
Also, if you flashed superSU in Slim to root it, you need to flash the kernel, then immidiately flash superSU, then reboot.

I have noticed that many of these processors on the note4/edge are of a good bin.. Mine can run about 45mv off from stock.. Have you ever considered adding CPU Voltage control to help a bit with battery longivity?

Thanks afbcamero, those are kind words.
On my MM kernels I did implement UV, but the way I did it in MM fails to pass in the N kernel. Not because it doesn't work, but rather that new build standards don't allow it. With the recent birth of my son, I have not had time yet to go back to it and figure out what was wrong yet. Are you familiar with kernel work? You could look at my github and my kernel source, perhaps you could show me where I went wrong?
If I can get passed that, I can implement the UV again. I also have the same problem for GPU voltage control, which I used to put on my MM kernels as well.
Perhaps when life slows down a bit, I can look back into it.

Oh I see, i honestly never looked at the structure of Nougat kernels. Any time I want to implement a change somebody does it better and beats me to the punch.. I will look at it just in case I see something..
On another note, these things however fun (development) not being trully important, may your family be blessed by the big guy.
Thanks! I'm always open to ideas on kernel improvement.
