Hi all,
I am quite new to this forum and I haven't found a decent kernel in this forum so I've decided to make one myself for daily use.
I am not a professional coder but I do know the basics of Github and all other necessary things to make this kernel work.
Please look here for current build.
This is a kernel for N8000/N8010/N8013. I might add support to N8013 variant if the kernel is overall stable.
I will try my best to bring patches from great kernel devs e.g. Faux, Gokhanmoral, Franco and many more to our Note 10.1.
This kernel is working on latest OMEGA, Redemption and ARHD ROM.
Initd is finally fixed.
This kernel is currently compiled with Linaro Toolchain(cfx toolchain) 4.7.3 from codefirex.
To enable cifs, type these in terminal
su
insmod lib/modules/cifs.ko
Disclaimer:
Not responsible for bricking your phone, voiding your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may feel as result of using this kernel!!!

Installation Guide:
Note: First of all BACKUP your current kernel! See the backup section of this post,
A. Using Recovery:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash the zip file of the kernel.
3. Clear Dalvik Cache to be sure (Not obligatory, but recommended).
4. Reboot.
B. Using Mobile Odin:
1. Extract boot.img from the zip file of the kernel.
2. In MobileOdin under kernel section select the boot.img file.
3. Hit 'flash firmware'.
NOTE: If you flash any ROM, the boot.img of that ROM will be flashed. So if you flash Stock ROM or restore your Stock Backup your kernel will be STOCK. If you want to use this kernel you have to flash again after doing those things.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reverting back:
A. If you have boot.img and Mobile Odin:
1. Fire up MobileOdin and under kernel section, select the backedUp boot.img of yours.
2. Hit 'flash firmware'.
B. Using TWRP recovery:
1. Restore the backup you performed before you flash this kernel.
C. If you don't have any of those backups:
1. You can always try the boot.img which is in the ROM zip of the custom ROM you're using. If you're stock and you don't have the ROM zip you can ask in the Q&A thread for the users to upload the one for you. Just mention the base of your Stock rom (ex. CMD1) and they would help you. After you obtained boot.img you may use A of this guide to flash it using mobileOdin.
Backing up your Currect Kernel:
A. If you have ROM zip of the custom ROM you're using:
For example you're using ARHD 7.0:
1. Open ARHD 7.0 zip file (The rom zip file you flashed in order to install ARHD 7.0) and extract boot.img.
2. This would be the boot.img of your current rom. So keep it safe in case you wanted to revert.
B. If you don't have ROM zip or you're stock:
You will need TWRP recovery to perform this.
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Select backup.
3. Only Check boot.
4. Perfrom backup.
5. Keep the backup files safe.
Known Issues:
Some people are experiencing hard reboots with build 5. Use build 4, Xcstacy is working hard to fix the issue.
Useful Programs:
- MobileOdin: To flash firmwares, kernels, and other stuff. Very useful app for samsung devices.
- TricksterMod: A powerful app to change kernel features/parameters.
Starter Guide about kernel parameters/features:
If you are new to custom kernels and want to know why should you go into the trouble of flashing one, or/and you want to learn how to start visit this guide.
I'll try to do the kernel. Thank you

Great. A governor like that is really needed.
For best performance, interactive or on demand?

Just wanted to say thank you for working on a new kernel.
Am never a big fan of over clocking but Note10.1 is missing some great features like usb mount and others due to lack of kernel support. Hope you will be able to bring in more features.

I like interactive better for performance. It feels snappier.
The current ondemand is not very optimized for our device and that's why we have pegasus governor.

I've noticed that in commit 10d28c0 you've removed "MMC_CAP_ERASE" from the MMC host driver. This is called the "EMMC Brickbug Fix"- but it's not necessary on the Galaxy Note as they don't use the same EMMC as the SGS3.
Having this "fix" in will break "discard" functionality, eventually slowing down the tablet as the I/O stalls during EMMC write-block reclaims when the Flash memory fills up.
FYI
Quick Questions:
1. init.d support?
2. Pegasus is the same as the tweaked one (pegasusq) down at s3/note 2 forums?
3. How about tweaked deadline?
4. Undervolt?
5. Boot at 1.4Ghz?
Thanks in advance!

Since this one based speedmod, so it will only work for touchwiz rom
Not to be a pain but isn't speedmod designed to be stable by not adding or deleting many things? Not saying this kernel is bad.

By default, it's the same with current SpeedMod kernel (K3-3).
Except when you use any cpu governor beside ondemand and i/o governor beside sio. Should be the same...

XS ICS
The original 3.0 custom kernel for the Incredible S
Disclaimer: Please read before continuing
This is a 3.0.x kernel, which means it is for ICS ROM's only.
You use this kernel and it's available settings at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for your phone, or anything that happens to it while using the feature. Although it has the ability to overclock to 2.0GHz, this may shorten the life of your device.
Click to expand...

The aim of this kernel is to be the most feature rich kernel available for the Incredible S. The kernel is the engine of your phone, and I want to include support for everything! If there is something you need and it isn't here, let me know and I will do my best to add it. XDA is a community, and lots of the work in this kernel has been discovered / and created by a wide range of people, all of whom this would not be possible. It is pretty impossible to name all of the people to thank, but know this is the result of a whole community, and my gratitude goes out to everyone who has contributed to this site!

Instructions for S-OFF Users
Simply flash XS-ICSvX.X.zip in your favourite recovery!
Instructions for manual flashing (HTCDev.com unlocked S-ON Users)
Thanks to MrToastbrot for instructions
Step 1: Download the XS-Kernel.zip, then open the Zip on your computer and extract the file mkbootimg.sh in "kernel"
Step 2: Open mkbootimg.sh in a texteditor like notepad++ or notepad, then edit the following in line 3:
Code:
output /tmp/newboot.img
to
Code:
output /sdcard/newboot.img
Step 3: Save your edited file and place it back in your zip, copy your modified zip to your phone-sdcard and install it in the recovery. Then reboot your phone and connect it to pc and take the newboot.img from the root of the sdcard.
Step 4: Now reboot your phone into bootloader and flash it via fastboot flash boot newboot.img
Step 5: Once you phone has booted, mount the system as r/w using something like ES file explorer or Root explorer, then type the following:
Code:
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
Set permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot and enjoy!
Sweep2Wake: Q&A
Q: How do I disable / enable the feature?
A: Two options
Change the value in the file /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake to either 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled and 2 for enabled with backlight. This will be reset upon rebooting.
If your ROM supports init.d scripts, then flash the zip to enable or disable, this will stick over a reboot.
Q: It keeps taking screenshots when I lock the screen!?
A: This is due to an incompatibility with this feature and the native screenshot in Sense. TO stop the screen shots, you need to edit your build.prop and change the property ro.htc.framework.screencapture to false, and then reboot.

I'm using the miui v4 with nik's kernel and that function already work!
I'm wrong assuming it's already coded?
BTW good work!
Nice post, fast work. I'll have a play first chance I get. Thank you.
Nice. Downloading right now. Making a backup right now since I was thinking of flashing this new Google Now ZIP as well.
Also does this mean we can get CWM 6.0+? IIRC, one of the requisites for it was a ICS kernel to be able to compile it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Which ROMs is it support?
MIUI will work whit this kernel?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I have an S-OFF Vivo, so how do I flash this? Do I just install the zip from CWM?
I'm currently on IceColdSandwich, so what's the difference between the kernel used in that and this kernel?
Forgive my noobness but how is the file size only 100kb?
I have only test on MIUI v4, but it should work with any ROM, I would like some feedback if there are any ROM's it doesn't work with.
There is now a flashable zip on the first post, I made a proper schoolboy error when I first uploaded it, that is now fixed

This is just a new kernel, that is why it is so small.
Did you read the OP and the second post? The instructions can be found there.

There is now a proper zip you can flash, check the second post for instructions.
The kernel in Ice Cold Sandwich is a Gingerbread kernel (2.6.x) which was modified to work with ICS (rather awesomely by Kaijura I might add). This kernel is built from the latest 3.0 sources.
Oh sweet! How did you manage to do it so fast?
One last question, none of my data will be lost right?

I have been waiting for this since the OTA dropped
No data will be lost, but I would backup in case there is an issue with your install.

I think that you can delete 1.7GHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz & 2.0GHz
Because they are unstable

Mobile data works fine for me, again shouldn't be affected by the kernel. I know MIUI has some issue with data anyway, check the thread in general to see how to fix that, but if that doesn't work, let me know.

Different chips are more resiliant. I used to have one that could sustain 1.8GHz with no problem, but I sent it for repair as the screen got smashed, they sent a replacement and this one can't go over 1.5GHz without crashing instantly, the option is there for anyone who wants it though.
IceColdSandwich 8.3: looks good, only broke camera and rotate buttons, but I expected it
Edit: doesn't work gps and bluetooth, IceColdSandwich either has a lot of hacks, or would need it
Working fine here. Now to see how high of a OC I'm willing to work with hehe.
**You can choose between TWRP or CWM now!!! **
Blazing Kernel v8
Yeah! As we all know, there are not many choices of kernels for our I9100G, especially stock kernels. Therefore, I decided to take up this challenge! After months of trials, hair-pulling moments and countless errors (and non-stop flashing too)...so now you have it: Blazing Kernel!
Features for v3 and above (JB):
- Can be flashed directly using stock recovery!
- Compiled using Samsung _CHN_JB_Opensource_Update1
- 2 versions of recovery available (different zImage): TWRP and CWM!
- Init.d scripts support (Place scripts in /system/etc/init.d or /data/etc/init.d)
- 3 versions of CWM recovery available (different zImage): CWM5, CWM6 and CWM5 Touch! (v4 onwards only supports CWM6)
- Default scheduler is cfq
- Default governor is interactive
- MMC_CAP_ERASE already disabled by Samsung -> no more brick bug
- Supports CIFS
- Merged the touch screen fix in CM 10.1 by ankitkv
- USB fast charge (use an app called "Fast Charge" to toggle)
- Custom voltage settings (use "Voltage Control" to set)
- Custom bootanimation (just place bootanimtion.zip in /system/media; to restore original bootanimation, just delete the bootanimtion.zip in /system/media)
- Custom boot sound (just place PowerOn.ogg in /system/media; to mute, create an empty file named "mute" in /system/media; to unmute, create an empty file named "unmute" in /system/media ; to restore original boot sound, create an empty file named "ori_sound" in /system/media
- Frandom support!
- Patched /dev/random
- Tweaked interactive governor to unleash its full power!
- More RAM (original=769 MB, Blazing Kernel=771MB)
- Additional governors: HYPER, Scary, wheatley, abyssplug, minmax, interactiveX, lulzactive, lazy, pegasusq, lagfree, smartassV2
- Addtional I/O schedulers: vr, sio, row
- Miscellaneous tweaks
- More to come!
Features for v2 (ICS):
- Can be flashed directly using stock recovery!
- Compiled using Samsung Open Source Update 2
- 3 versions of CWM recovery available (different zImage): CWM5, CWM6 and CWM5 Touch!
- Default scheduler is noop
- Default governor is interactive
- Fixed 30 fps bug! (integrated the fix in BL ROM into the kernel)
- Disabled MMC_CAP_ERASE -> no more brick bug
- init.d scripts support (Just create a folder named "init.d" in /system/etc and insert your scripts in there)
- Custom bootanimation support (Place bootanimtion.zip in /system/media, if none is present, default Samsung bootanimation will run instead)
- Custom boot sound support (Place PowerOn.ogg in /system/media, make a file named "mute" to mute the boot sound, make a file named "ori_sound" in /system/media to restore original sound)
- Merged the touch screen fix in CM 10.1 by ankitkv
- Supports CIFS
- Custom user defined voltages (use apps like Voltage Control)
- RAM overclock! (From 400Mhz max to 533Mhz)(cannot be set, embedded in kernel)
- Miscellaneous tweaks
Bugs:
For v3 and above:
- Currently none
For v2:
- Bluetooth is still not working in 4.0.4 ROMs (although the source code was updated)...hmm...yea...good job Sammy...
Requirements:
- Running a stock or stock-based Samsung TouchWiz ICS/JB ROM
Instructions:
Flash via stock or custom recovery (Safest and easiest method):
1. Choose your CWM version: CWM5, CWM6 or CWM5 Touch, v4 onwards only supports CWM6 and TWRP.
2. Download the corresponding zip package.
3. Place in sdcard (external sdcard for those running stock recovery)
4. Flash the zip.
5. Reboot.
**Note: From v6 onwards, ODIN flashable kernel will not be released anymore as external modules are required...which is only achievable via zip files...
Flash via ODIN (WARNING: Will increase binary count and warning triangle will appear):
1. Choose your CWM version: CWM5, CWM6 or CWM5 Touch, v4 onwards only supports CWM6.
2. Download the corresponding tar package.
3. Run ODIN and select the tar package under PDA
4. Start flashing.
5. Reboot.
NOTE:
To those who still thinks that it is my kernel that causes the SOD, you are more than welcome to revert to the stock kernel. Steps as below:
1. Download stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip from here: http://bit.ly/XCEejd and place it into your external sdcard/internal sdcard.
2. Flash it and you will be back to stock kernel and recovery.
3. To flash stuff or do backups/restore, use this temporary CWM that was compiled by me: Temp_CWM6.zip. Since I compiled it using our device's kernel code, it should be more stable than the temporary touch recovery, and the labeling of partitions are correct too, plus it supports /preload...
To those who wanna provide logs, kindly refer to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39014273&postcount=201
Frandom
v6 and onwards supports frandom, which is a faster (10-50 times) random number generator than urandom...it generally decreases lag in GUI...if you are using CrossBreeder, it will automatically utilise it...if not, place this script in /etc/init.d and set permissions as rwxrwxrwx (name it whatever you want) and reboot:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Ryuinferno @ XDA
chmod 666 /dev/frandom
mv /dev/random /dev/random.ori
mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.ori
ln /dev/frandom /dev/random
ln /dev/frandom /dev/urandom
It is working if you have /dev/random.ori and /dev/urandom.ori after a reboot...to revert, just remove the script (or else, it will be applied on every boot)...

thanks alot for your hard work.I always take my S2 out of drawer to try your work
thats what Ryuinferno is known for
Tested this out . Works fantastically. No problems so far.
Excuse me, this kernel can change CPU frequency? Like making it 150 - 1200.. Change governer to abysplug like that. Thank you.

You can change the CPU Frequency but the Governor and I/O Schedular still like the default one as it is in Codeworkx's kernel =)
Don't worry Ryuinferno will add more governor into it =)

By installing this, you'll receive no support from Stratosk because;
This is an Unofficial Semaphore Kernel
Stratosk does not support it
So do not bug him if you have a problem with this kernel. But bug me instead!
If you guys want to see some more features added to this, feel free to tell me and I'll try my best to add them to it.
Change log
Please note that there are 3 variations:
Normal versions: for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 384MB - 396MB
"s" versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration, available RAM 397MB - 409MB
"vc" versions: is Voodoo Color Mod
Everything is the same as the original kernel except with few changes.
added a zram script below in a zip file. IT IS NOT FLASHABLE EXTRACT AND MANUALY PUSH AND SET PERMISIONS. push to
system/etc/init.d if you want diffrent sizes pm me of post on this thread. each has 20% swapiness for now if you want more tell me here

and Nick0703: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3443526 he is the guy from captivate forums who added the extras
as these guys did everything but build the modified version for vibrant. if you want to use in your rom pm me and il problebly say yes. and be sure to give credits to stratosk and nick0703

alright guys im testing new builds now again. and il upload this afternoon after school. yes i have school if i get a chance to upload from my phone later before i get home i will
cannondaleV2000
Installed Unofficial_Semaphore_JB_2.9.21v, I am assuming that this is the newly uploaded built. Right after entering the OS, my phone rebooted into the recovery. This might have been caused by kernel choosing 1400hz frequency. Now the frequency is set to 100 - 1000 and so far your kernel works good. I will keep you posted if I notice any irregularities.
Is it ok to use Semaphore Manager with your kernel or should we use CM10 built in OC features?
I installed Voodoo sound app but I can't see voodoo color option at the bottom. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for your hard work with extra features!
Yeah you can use the semaphore app. Or cm performance settings or any tools for controlling CPU that you want. I recommend set CPU. Worth paying a little bit

On my phone your kernel seems to work fine, however I tried to install this kernel to my friend's phone and it caused vicious bootloop. I had to resort to ODIN to be able to make the phone work again. I tried this twice and both times kernel caused bootloop.
Both I and my friend have exactly the same CM 10.1 built. Just very strange.
Also I sill don't know how to access voodoo color. Zram and KSM seem to be missing from the performance menu.
Perhaps anyone else can confirm my findings.

Hey guys
As you already might have read in either the CM11 dev thread or the Q&A section, I am working on a custom kernel for our T210(R) and T211. It's still in a pretty early stage, but the current build is fully stable, so I thought why not share it
As I'm pretty new to this community, a few words about myself: My (only) device I have been working on is the LG Optimus 4x HD, for which I also made a custom kernel (also named werewolf kernel, who would have thought of that ). Me and 2 other fellow RDs were able to "switch" many blobs with the ones from grouper, which fixed many, many issues we were facing in 4.4 with the stock 4.1 blobs. I am the official maintainer of namelessROM and vanir for the 4x HD, and am also compiling GummyROM, LegoROM, unofficial CM 11 (using grouper blobs) and SlimKat for the 4x HD on a nightly base. And as soon as we have a proper device tree for our tab, I'm sure I can port the Tab3 to all those ROMs
Now, enough chit chatting, let's talk about the kernel
It's based on @ketut.kumajaya's blackhawk kernel (thanks again, mate ) From v004 on we are based on official KitKat sources, with some additions such as:
Features:
Various network tweaks
Entropy tweaks
I/O speed improvements
cortex a9 and neon omtimizations
Added frandom
Tweaked vm dirty ratios
Dynamic read-ahead values
Added I/O schedulers: ROW, SIO, BFQ, FIOPS, V(R)
Optimized AES and SHA1 routines
Added CPU governors: Lionheart, Adaptive, Intellidemand, Hotplug, Hyper
Reduced RAM usage from logger
Updated lowmemkiller
Overclocked to 1.420 GHz by default
Disabled vsync for better 2D performance
Overclocked GPU up to 624MHz (default 416MHz)
Custom user voltage control (CPU)
Undervolted by default (-25mV)
S2W and DT2W (WIP)

Download the kernel from HERE
Reboot into recovery (recommended to make a nandroid)
Flash the kernel zip
Recommended to wipe /cache
Reboot and enjoy!
And remember to remove phservice if you want to change some CPU/GPU settings yourself

Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2014-07-21
Last Updated 2015-05-25
Tweaks and other stuff
Since v002, we have an updated lowmemorykiller. It behaves a bit snappier than the old one, also with the default minfree values. However, in case you like to tweak your device a bit to make it even more snappy (like me ), I tweaked the minfree values a bit to slightly increase the free RAM without really affecting the multitasking experience. The script can be found in the attachment. All you need to do is to extract the script and place it in your /system/etc/init.d/ folder and that's it. The values will be automatically set on boot.
UV interface
The min possible voltage is 1000mV for now, and the max one is 1400mV. If you want me to lower the min voltage, please let me know.
Also, please note, that the voltage has to be changed in 12.5mV steps. If you apply for example 1110mV, it will be rounded down to 1100mV.
Fast Charge interface
The main interface is inside /sys/kernel/fast_charge/*
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge (rw)
0 - disabled (default)
1 - use custom mA configured through the sysfs interface (see below)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/ac_charge_level (rw)
rate at which to charge when on AC (1.8A to 2.3A)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/usb_charge_level (rw)
rate at which to charge when on USB (0.5A to 1.0A)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/failsafe (rw)
0 - disabled - allow anything up to 2.3A to be used as AC / USB custom current (USE WITH CAUTION!)
1 - enabled - behaviour as described above (default)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/version (ro)
display fast charge version information
New kmsg layout
From v008 onwards the kmsg looks a tiny bit different. Instead of displaying the time since boot, it logs the actual time and date.
Now, you may ask yourself: "does that any good?" Sure it does. When you encounter an issue and grab a log, you can send it my way saying "the issue happened at 15:35". It is way harder to find out the exact time (in seconds) since the device booted, right?
When changing the CPU gov, you might want to keep THIS (4.1) or THIS (4.4) in mind
Changelog:
v008 [15/02/15]

good work you link where ? and nice job workıng 4.1.2 ???? 4.2.2 .4.4.2 kernel android version what? @safariking [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION
not working dont flash ı using ultimate rom safarinking by 4.1.2 soft brick device
Not working yet hope you get it working good luck

sorry guys, I just found the issue... my last commit breaks the GPU module so it doesn't compile, doesn't get copied over into the zip and so does not get replaced on your system, but the new kernel cannot load the stock module as I used another defconfig name...
Will be fixed ASAP
EDIT: Fixed and uploaded

is there anyway to flash it on tab 3 t211 kk 4.4.2 firmware
big job thank can you add overclock gpu ? downclock?

You can check if there is OC available by installing "No-Frills CPU Control" from the google play store
a question about toolchain
@laufersteppenwolf
hi, i would like to know which toolchain you used to build this kernel, a direct link to it would be helpful.
also, using the supplied defconfig can i make [defconfig] and then make -j# or are there additional things to do?
i build kernel for tab3 10 fine but setting up my system for sm-t210 is proving stubborn. there is another project going on
that i would like to learn from and help with, your help would be appreciated.
thank you for reading.

I do not think so, as I'm using the ramdisk from t210, which most likely isn't compatible with t211, and sure not with 4.4.2

for this build, I used CM's 4.6 toolchain, but that'll change soon
I will also push the build script and modules to github ASAP, so just wait for that, as setting up the modules and stuff isn't the most pleasant thing to do
Werewolf is not playing lol so what your saying is that we will be having cm 11 and aosp all the good stuff soon ?

I've used this kernel for 2 days. I have noticed the screen flickers on the 2nd day and while watching a movie (while plugged in) the tab was battery drained battery was 30% when I started watching. Can others confirm this?
Goodside. Battery life is enhanced and performance is the same. Nice work on this

I was experiencing the exact same flickering myself as well, but on stock kernel
This flickering isn't kernel related, but ROM related. Sammy must have screwed up the auto backlight handling, as it only happens at some certain brightness values
No ir blaster
Edit: This is what I get when I open peel smart remote

He is tottaly right, also sometimes when you are using this tab, the screen locks by itself

Check your build.prop to see what the ro.build.product shows.

I am using stockrom series with a build for sm-t210 but I have used device spoofer and spoofed my original build sm-t210r

It works for me with the stock firmware/rom with this kernel.
