[Kernel][cm9] Galaxy Exhibit II 4g - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hi guys, Decided to make a new thread as since you guys asked for it
The kernel is based off the work of Arco, forfivo and castanaIT.
Id like to also note please use extra caution when useing extreme edition kernels. (the overvolt).
For those of you that decide you dont want this kernel you can use this to restore back to core2's 11-09 2.6.35 kernel without doing a full rom flash.
When using either kernel 1.7ghz is most likely gonna be the highest you want to run on. @1.8 we either become unstable or get too much heat.
This part im just going to relink the old build for my first attempts. They mostly didnt work.(just for archiveing purposes)
Beta v1, Beta v2, Beta v3, Beta v4
In this section ill list the newer builds and what they added.
Beta 5.2
Adds Govs: brazilianwax, intellidemand, interactivex, lagfree, lazy, lionheart,
lulzactive, ondemandx, savagedzen, scary, smartass1/2, smoothass, wheatley
Adds OC up to 1.8( 1.8 only stable in OV edition but still included just because)
Beta v5.2 + Overvolt v2
Adds the same as above but uses more volts for the higher frequencies to try and make them more stable.
(Was later reported that its stable but gets pretty Hot)
Adds same as above but lowers the volts a little to try and find a happy spot between stable and temps.

This is the greatest kernel ever, use it! I promis you wont be disappointed!
I love it, however beta 5 broke wifi for me, but it doesnt for some, so please try it!

Added a link to the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G#Custom_Kernels

Beta5 is what broke wifi for me as well
-sent from outerspace

Running the latest CM9 stable with Beta 5 kernel OC to 1.4GHz everything working here. (WiFi, camera, video, everything)
Can't wait for the next CM9 stable with the additional camera fixes. Combined with this kernel will be great!
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app

Look forward to testing this

It's nice to see more development! 2 overclockable kernels in less than a week, after a year of nothing like this Keep up the great work, guys!

Just wanted to chime in to say I just flashed CM9 (stable 11-09), then flashed gapps, and the beta 5 kernel - all within the same CWM session. My Wifi is working just fine. Fast and stable so far Lovin' it! Great job. I especially love all the various governors - that'll give me a lot to play with today

Hey guys, im working on makeing beta 6. When i tested the build wifi didnt work, however i havent changed anything with the wifi so if anyone whos willing to do wipes and stuff possibly try this build? http://d-h.st/ouL
I would do the wipes and stuff my self but this is my only phone/daily used device. So wipeing isnt exatly something id like to do. I did try wipeing cache/fix permissions but that didnt work. Id guess it would work with wipes cause all the wifi code is untouched from beta 5, but before i go telling people to wipe id like to know if that works. Some people said beta 5 broke wifi too which i guess is possible as with this beta 6. However i believe it to be due to not wipeing not the kernel it self.

I clean installed 9/28 plus gapps and this but it broke wifi and usb connection. I chose smartassv2 plus 368 min and 1.4 max and it immediately froze. Am gonna download the latest stable and do this again.

I figured out what kept breaking wifi, it was a noob mistake by me. Fixing it and uploading new builds now.
Edit: Beta 6.3 released, Overvolt edition comeing soon.

Yes, but it's usually a good idea to wipe cache+dalvik.
Just flashed and booting up now.

All future builds should work fine without a rom wipe or cache/dalvik as of right now.(beta6)
Sure ill add it to my second/reserved post for now.
Also gonna update the OP with links to 5.1 which is an updated beta5 that shouldnt break wifi.
Beta 6.3 overvolt edition is out now too.

I wiped davlik/cache and flashed beta 6.3. Now wifi works and my previous issue with usb was due to a faulty cable. Only problem now is the phone freezes when I set max to 1.4. 1.3 works fine so am guessing that's my sweet spot.

Glade to here its fixed/figured out. sorry to hear 1.4 isnt working for you,I just ran a benchmark @1.4 and it ran fine, i believe this is where the every hardware is different.
Just re-read your previous post and saw you used smartass gov. Thats the same one i used. You may wana play with some other govs it may or may not effect the frequency you can use. It probably wont and smartass is a good gov.(imo) but just a thought.

Yea I used smartass. btw is there a difference in 6.3 and 5.1 and should I flash 5.1 since I used 6.3?

As stated in the OP 6.3 Adds:
GPU frequency changing
Added V(r) and SIO schedulers
You can use whatever version you want. 5.1 fixes wifi for people who had problems with beta 5. So any of the 5.1 - 6.3 builds are ok to use its just what you want out of the kernel. Each build is a new kernel you can flash w.e. you want and doesnt have to go in any order. Builds older than 5.1 are not recommened to use but they are basicly unchanged from the Kernel you get in core2idiots latest cm9.

6.3 just fixes wifi and adds a couple I/O schedulers. You might as well just stay with it. Even if you don't use the schedulers, there's no harm in staying where you are.
Also, just wanted to say that SmartassV2 will save more battery when the screen is off, as compared to basic Smartass.
As far as your issue at 1.4, that bites! Mine tops out at 1.7 without any voltage adjustment. Most people should be able to get 1.6-1.7 as well. The best chips should get 1.8... That said, 1.3 seems pretty low for you to top out with. In any case, it's usually a good idea to go at least 1 step below where you don't freeze or reboot, just to be safe... In your case, that would be 1.2 - just putting it out there. In my case, even though 1.7 works, I have it set to 1.5 just to make sure I'm not running into problems.

[Kernel][OC][11/24/11]The Doom Kernel V0.3 BETA

Doom Kernel V0.3
Apparently on the Xperia forums DooMLord has a kernel out called DooMKernel as well. This is in no way affiliated with that. I may change mine to Doom Boot or Doomed Kernel but for now he asked me to make a note like this so here it is.
First, I would like to give a big THANKS to Echts for helping me with repacking the boot.img and get this thing bootable...
Second, THANKS to tekahuna for the OC modules
This kernel contains OC and non OC versions. Speed tweaks, memory tweaks and network tweaks have been included after V0.1. All the non OC versions include all the tweaks.
V0.3 Now increases SDcard read write cache from 128kb to 4096kb
I appreciate any feedback I can get from this. It will work with ANY FROYO rom this is NOT a GB kernel.
How to install:
1) Download
2) Flash in CWM
3) Enjoy your OC kernel
Doom Kernel V0.3 http://www.multiupload.com/ZK4A77GW6D
No OC V0.3 http://www.multiupload.com/DFHEJI7H2I
Doom Kernel V0.2: http://www.multiupload.com/GXIC7IOXH6
No OC V0.2: www.multiupload.com/ZQ6501RZMX
Doom Kernel V0.1: http://www.multiupload.com/MI9ZF4YOU0
Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/DM2PKFCNSV
CHANGELOG
V0.3 Added SDcard Read/Write speed increase
V0.2 Added lowmemorykiller settings
Added ADJ tweaks
Added Network tweaks
Tweaked Wifi supplicant scan settings in kernel itself
No more lags when installing apps from market.
V0.1 Stock Kernel with OC at 1.18GHz
I tip my hat to you sir. Looking forward to tinkering with kernel code and working on optimizations along the way.
What's the maximum overclock rate? 1.5GHz?
Will thus also work on Thriller rom?

Nooooo as of right now, testing tekahuna's modules, 1.23Ghz was as far as I could push without reboots and FC's.
Sorry forgot to mention that. Right now it is at what tekahuna calls the sweet spot of 1188MHz or 1.18GHz. That is the max as this is just a test speeds will increase slowly. Other tweaks and features will be added slowly.

Yes it will work with any of the thrill roms should work with O3D roms as well AS LONG AS IT IS FROYO this will not work on GB it is a froyo only kernel. Any rom in the Thrill development section will be fine.
How did you manage to get the boot.img repacked? I started trying to use mkimage instead of mkbootimg but to no avail. I have tinkered with all the different settings. Basically I'm just curious what you put for -a , -e , -d , and -C , because I can't get mine to repack. Also, how did you order the various inputs. Because, I just keep getting a usage output. And when I don't get that and it seems to run, still no new boot.img is created.
Thanks.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I will be writing up a nice tutorial here soon. You have to edit unpack-bootimg.pl and like you said the mkimage command has to be just right. Once you get it down the unpacking and repacking is a snap takes no time. It's the adjusting things and what not that becomes the most work.
Beta version 0.2 now contains OC at same clock speed (will release different clock speeds once testing phase is done) also has adjustments to lowmemorykiller, adj, network speeds. Slowly but surely moving along don't want to do too much at once just tweaking a bit then test, tweak a bit more then test. Safest route.
Thank you!
Word. A good how to is definitely needed for working with the Thrill Boot.img. I figured that it couldn't be too difficult. I just feel like i have tried every possible combination for the repacking. But im sure i am just missing something simple. Im assuming the Unpack edit is to change the initial data stripping from 2048 to 76? For now im gonna just include your boot.img that you posted here in my rom im working on (as long as that is cool with you...).
Props to you though for figuring it out...
And thanks to Echts and others for their assistance...
Thanks dude!
So glad that the thrill development scene is finally starting to take off!
Please do, anything I release is free and open to use. That's why we are here right?
And I didn't figure the repack out, it was armcee (sp?) Ricardo that figured it out, he just merely passed the info down the line it finally made it to me lol I actually gave credit to Echts over on O3D forum because he passed the info on to me.
I have to say, the V0.2 kernel definitely speeds things up. Apps run faster, load faster, it's nice... very nice. This is what I have been waiting for, kernel tweaking.

Its kind of hard for me to tell because I have been flashing a lot of things. For what I am doing it seems to last a while. Try it out if you don't like it flash back to stock.
Testing the new Kernel, so far i love it, running SetCPU to keep tabs on CPU... Excellent job @Urabewe
cant wait to see if we can get more frequencies to test the OMAP4 processor... make this phone FLY!!!
nice kernel man but Battery drain seems a little high. well it is a no brainer when OC it take more battery power
Yes it's still a work in progress I did notice a bit of extra drain, I am going to release another kernel that's is not OC but contains the speed boosts. I'm hoping that will cure a bit of the battery problem while still keeping the what I think is incredible speed boost.
Also, can anyone else confirm that the delay/lag while installing apps from the market is basically gone with governor on hotplug max at 1188? I have installed about 5 apps and was trying to see how bad the lag was and didn't really experience any.
Well it's official I am calling it a feature... no more lags when installing from market. Phone remains nice and smooth. This kernel combined with Doomed Froyo Slim (which btw includes this kernel in the rom) has no lags and if you can find any lags in any programs or with the launcher let me know.

Not being rude at all but please read through at the very least the 1st post before asking questions. 2.3.5 is GB this only works with 2.2.2 I will be releasing a 2.3.5 GB kernel soon that one you will be able to use.

[Kernel]FrankenKernel

I made this kernel for my own use.
Decided to share it.
My reason for making this kernel is because I have been trying kernel after kernel and have not been able to stay on a single one.
Every time my main issue was that the phone would get uncomfortably hot, the only kernel that wouldn't was always @showp1984's kernel with his 3-phase thermal. At first I was enjoying it until I saw all these other kernels getting updated with new features so I decided to update showps kernel, it wasn't a big update but it still suffered from the SODs caused by his in-kernel mpdecision (which I'd prefer over Qualcomm's) so I decided to just grab my next favorite kernel and update it with thermal. I've been testing it for a few days and haven't had it get as hot as it used to so I'm happy with it. I'm not a developer I just wanted something for me. It has the same features as @Faux123's kernel which include...
-Dynamic FSync
-Eco Mode
-Turn MPDecision on/off
-OC up to 1.8GHz
-UV to 700000mV
-Sweep2Wake
-Fast Charge
-Veno/Reno/Bic/Cubic/Westwood+/HTCP
-GPU OC up to 487MHz
-3 phase thermal
-FIOPS/NOOP/DEADLINE/ROW/CFQ/SIO schedulers
-compiled with the latest Linaro toolchain O2 optimized
-its also hard coded with moles' colors that everyone is raving about (they are good though thats why i included them)
I personally like using Kernel Tuner which allows modifying the 3 phase thermal parameters.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
New release method:
Each release will have a folder, in the folder will be a kernel with hardcoded values from Molesarecoming. I'll just use the most popular few because id rather not wait a few mins uploading each kernel from my phone :l

About the source:
It took me a few hours to download each repository (faux123 and showp) since im tethering off my phone (which is faster to download than upload with TMo speeds) , so i haven't uploaded the source. I can probably upload the patches (a lot smaller in size) which can be applied to Fauxs source thus producing this same kernel
Glad i was trying my hand at git, still such a noob but i was able to figure something out. Sorry if it isn't proper :l
https://github.com/jassycliq/mako
so this is based on faux's kernel?
Yes, it is up to date with his github source.
and i'm assuming BLUEHOLO color tweak?
What do you mean? I posted everything that I included, nothing more nothing less

No, I previously had compiled a kernel that replaced Qualcomm's proprietary mpdecision with showps in-kernel mpdecision but it would cause SODs so i decided against it.
It still uses Qualcomms mpdecision but just like Faux123's kernel you can turn it off and use intelli_plug.

AOSP based kernel and tested on stock rom
I have a dream: a dream that one day, a developer, even someone new to the game, will come along and make an optimized stock kernel, i.e. a kernel with stock mpdecision, but with various optimizations that make it faster. I have high hopes for this kernel, please make my dream come true. Don't make another frankenstein-kernel.
i will test your build and report back.
Updated to v0.0.5
Changes;
- KGSL updates
- Reworked at L2 bus speed optimizations (more responsive now)
- Power efficient workqueue patch
- Simple GPU governor added / enabled by default
- GPU undervolt a little bit to reduce heat
Please test If you interest and let me know.
Thanks,
Hi!
These are my first cycle results with version 0.0.1 and stock rom. I am gladly impressed.

Hi,
I am not playing any GPU intensive games. Thank you for the tip about Flashify Will report back with v5 results.
Hi there!
These are my results with v5, not hooked to any APs just 3G. As you can see SOT has gone down and i am pretty sure the use i gave to the phone was the same as when i had v1.
I am going back to v1 to see if my previous results stand.

I think the reason of this, highest L2 speed for 1026Mhz which is touch boost freq. I just decreased a bit for 1026Mhz.(in v11) Performance is in between v1 and v5 but battery stays much longer like v1.
v11;
- L2 bus speed decreased for 1026Mhz for better battery life
- Synced with Linux 3.4.85
Thanks,
hello @ihancioglu.. if its not a bother could u please provide future versions with any-kernel updater for us custom rom users, as some roms have some modifications in the ramdisk which would be removed by flashing the boot.img.
thanks
Hello!
Using v11 i got some random reboots. It also happened with the other versions but only at the end of the battery cycle and so i thought it was due to the battery finishing even though the indicator still showed 4% or the like. This time the reboots happened pretty often.

Hi my friend,
Thanks for your reports!
I also realize some random reboots with v11 which causes a bug on slub.c.
I don't have much time for now. So I created a new version with Mirage backend. This is completely stable. You can use it safely.
I will continue my project as soon as have free time.

The default mpdecision is the worst inefficient/bloated code I would like to have in such an optimized kernel. That is why I have removed it along with touchboost, dcvs, run_queue_stats. I have developed MiRaGe with the same mindset you describe: optimized stock kernel.
Can I request f2fs support? Patches are linked here.

Questions about the kernel (Does it have ****?) > here
Problems you faced, and/or their solutions > here
Weird problems I could be able to solve > the development thread

In a nutshell, if you have to post something that I have to read, post it in the development thread, otherwise use this thread.
I will not read this thread at all. Or maybe I'll check it every now and then
Mention me if I should read something.
Testing helium in temasek, for now all working right and cpu freq. goes to 1728Mhz. Very similar to last stock cm kernel but with usb fast charging :good:
I have a question @tommons (or sombody): Why do you include KSM? In Tangerine kernel it made the device laggy, increasing the power consumption due to the continous work of cpu cores and soon many of us saw that this feature wasn't good to our Xperia Sp. I always leave it off and better overall performance is achieved.
In init.d options of Kernel adiutor we can see the entry 01tangerine. Delete this entry is the same that going to /system/etc/init.d? I suppose that is.
BTW, great work and thanks for your dev time.

Testing helium in temasek, for now all working right and cpu freq. goes to 1728Mhz. Very similar to last stock cm kernel but with usb fast charging :good:
I have a question @tommons (or sombody): Why do you include KSM? In Tangerine kernel it made the device laggy, increasing the power consumption due to the continous work of cpu cores and soon many of us saw that this feature wasn't good to our Xperia Sp. I always leave it off and better overall performance is achieved.
In init.d options of Kernel adiutor we can see the entry 01tangerine. Delete this entry is the same that going to /system/etc/init.d? I suppose that is.
BTW, great work and thanks for your dev time.

KSM (in v2, UKSM) is there as an option. Nobody forces you to use it It uses more power but the result is a better RAM management.
Yes you can delete 01tangerine from Kernel Adiutor too.
Trying v2 with carbon 5.1.1 seems everything OK..good work man ;D

Wait more or less 70 hours and you'll have it
I have tangerine 9.1 and CM12.1 on my device. Which steps i need to follow in order to have Helium?
Overclocking?
Can you build a overclocking option from this Kernel, In Tangerine Kernel my Cellphone is stucked on 1444 MHz on all gorvenors, Can you do it? A Overclocking to 1.94 GHz or more ?

Flash the stock boot.img of your CM build (if you have CM+Addons, it would be better if you flashed the boot.img of the Addons you have installed on your device), enter TWRP, install Helium.
Or, in an easier way, next time you update your CM nightly flash Helium instead of Tangerine!

Overclock needs some work and I'm very busy at the moment. Frequency fixes will come very very soon. In the mean time you can flash v2.1, which hasn't got any issues with frequencies.
@Tomoms I am not able to install v2.2 on cm 12.1 using twrp it says unpacking kernel and nothing happens I have to hard reboot.anyone know how to solve this?
Helium Kernel v3
On Helium Kernel v3 the frequency is stucked on 1458 MHz on both cores on all gorvenors and I/O Schedulers.. :crying: :crying:

Good! Well, actually that's bad, but I expected it. Will fix ASAP (that is, unfortunately for you, on Sunday/Monday).
Use v2.1, it doesn't have problems.
For the others: I remind you that this doesn't mean v3 is buggy. This bug appears only on certain devices confused and mine is one of the "lucky" ones. So the best thing to do is to try v3 and see if you're lucky or unlucky. Hopefully, the bug will be fixed with v3.1.

Is TRIM support planned? I think that it is essential for device with such slow flash memory.
As for now I'm using heavily customized Tangerine 9.2 + last Xenon HD which gives great performance, but has issues (inaccurate GPS, big lag after locking the screen, touchscreen not working couple times a week and a few more). Tested latest CM12.1 + Helium 3.1 for few hours and it looks promising, but feels slower than much more bloated Xenon HD + Tk9.2 (used since September) possibly due lack of TRIM support.

You can use the command line utility called fstrim or mount the partitions with the "discard" option. The latter way is more difficult because it requires unpacking the kernel, the ramdisk, and then repacking everything.
Swap crashing problem is resolved in v3.2?

I think that it was my mistake - I cannot remember if I enabled root before issuing TRIM - shame on me
I am using Trimmer utility and running it resulted in instant execution without returning trimmed size in gigabytes pointing that either root was not enabled or TRIM was not supported. Judging by your reply I can assume that TRIM is supported so I think that I'll make second attempt to CM12.1 when touchscreen issue is fixed* or CM13 when camera will be working.
* I just read that @Adrian DC fixes has been merged in 3.2! I will check that kernel as soon as I can! :angel:

oh, ok.
then I dunno, pm me an external link for that ? i really want to try change the kernel, but don't want to mess up the device, i could google it but preffer a recommendation of a tutorial by someone who understands more about it than i dunno.
anyway, thanks.
Hello, your kernel is very good, very fluid and good battery consumption in CM13, it would be possible in the future to add support KCAL?, can change the saturation, contrast, etc., thank you for your work.
[DEV][PATCH] KCAL - Advanced color control for Qualcomm MDSS 8x10/8x26/8974/8084/8939
Great kernel. Has improved battery life quite a bit !
Thanks!! Testing on CM13... Looks good
Good battery consumption.

Great kernel so far, thanks for making a custom kernel for 6.0, I've been waiting for one.
Would it be possible for you to add support for DriveDroid to your kernel?

Thxx , give me more feedbackk ! And I'll take a look at suggestions at the weekend guys !!
Can't wait to see what this can do..bout to flash now!!!
some people say they are taking random reboots .. anyone had ? maybe a log for me ?

Your kernel its a dream hahahaha I was waiting for a kernel with fauxsound since I've bought this phone. So, first of all, thank you very much for your kernel and we appreciate your work and your time spent with this kernel. But lets get to the facts:
1) In RR 5.6.0 your kernel cause bootloop;
2) In CM13 (specifically 2015-12-12 build) I had a lot of random reboots and the sound (specifically Play Music and Deezer) sometimes was cracking or just not played;
3) In CrDroid I had the same thing in CM13 but the rom has some serious bugs, so we don't count it;
4) In Nexus Experience 10.0.4 I just had ONE random reboot (take note: the first boot, so lets blame the instability of the rom) and, since then, my phone is working completely perfect.
5) With kernel auditor all of my preferences are saved and sticked after a reboot (in Nexus Experience 10.0.4)
Note: All of the Roms was fresh installed, wiped everything (including internal storage) then installed ROM->GAPPS (NX GApps in Nexus Experience and OpenGApps in the other roms)->KERNEL
Maybe with some work in your kernel and in the newer roms, this phone will gain some fresh air!
Thank you again!
Ps.: not an american guy, so please, I'm sorry for any english mistake

I don't understand this thread. The OP has a different username the one above who has released v2? And why hasn't this been moved to 'original development'?
