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)
Fast Charging
KSM
Bugs:
You tell me!
Installation:
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
Notes:
See 2nd post

Kernel Special Features: Tuned for best possible performance
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

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

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 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

- Recharging with phone off fixed. (mikos cyanogen based roms have a feature to: if the phone is off, when you plug the charger, it will power on the phone. The normal behaviour is to boot a system only to recharge phone. But mik has disabled it. SO, if you use devoid.#final this recharge while offline will work. if you use cyanogen, will not work.)

How to use it? Just download and Flash via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Remember:
This kernel is ONLY for LG Stock ROM 2.2, Void.#forever, devoid, miks 6.5.x, CyanogenMMatt 1.1...
WIPE DALVIK, BATTERY AND CACHE!
DONT FLASH 2 DIFFERENT ZIPS AT THE SAME TIME!
MAKE A REBOOT BEFORE EACH FLASH
If you are using AmonRa, disable signature before flashing.
NOT underclock below 480MHz. At lower speeds, wakeups-from-idle per second are bigger than 480MHz and they share the same voltage, so thats leads to more battery drain.
It's recomended to use: MIN 480 / MAX YOUR CHOICE

It's possible to suspend USB while it's not being used having it configured as a module?
I dont know for sure, since that p500 uses usb in slave mode.
But if this really works, as powertop says, i can get more battery life

You can use! That keyboard option removed was an legacy linux hack thing to restart the computer via keyboard. (sysrq magic key)
About zram, it is enabled in the kernel, if you have flashed it in any version of franco.Kernel it will work here.
How?
Its simple, when you flash zram it will modify one part of your system, and kernel another. So you only need to reflash zram in case of wipe all data.

I'll give you info about this kernel. fserve fetched my sources, changed the .config file to add/delete some functionalities just like he stated in the first post and he came here and shared it with everyone, and I'm glad he did because I'm definitely going to look up on his configuration changes. Other than that it's still my kernel. That's all the info I can give to you.
New version released. (IT'S ON THE FIRST PAGE)
V8 was compiled with -Os (to make a small kernel)
V12 was compiled with -O2 (to make a faster kernel)
V12 got cleaned up ethernet 10/100 drivers, some scsi drivers, some loggers, some debuggers, some useless stuff. for now, only bfs version.

"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
enter this hitting enter after each line
adb root
adb remount
adb push <file> /system/etc/init.d/<file>

all I did was compile this kernel for vibrant i take almost no credit for it
credits go to
stratosk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3750240 he is the maker of original semaphore kernel
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
Uhm you should probably quote these lines, "

2.9.21c
- Linux kernel 3.0.72
- binder: backport from 3.9-rc (also port some other changes to support this)
- lowmemorykiller: updates from 3.9-rc
- logger: updates from 3.9-rc
- disable android_ram_console (thanks to dark_knight35)
- mDNIe: suppress some debug messages (and do so minor cleanup)
- Auto brightness: calculate the average of light sensor adc values instead of normalized brightness
- Auto brightness: Intoduce max_br_threshold tunable. Over this, the brightness is updated to its max value (thanks to Necromancer3)

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.

I personally like ondemand/cfq I find it makes things that tiny bit more responsive like 1080p video recording and scrolling thru my Google Keep widget. Ondemand for me gives some of the best battery.

I'm currently using this with N5 four mini rom, works so awesome, incredible battery life, there is just one problem though, private mode does not work with this kernel, but they said its because of the rom not fully compatible with the kernel., i don't know if this works fine with s6 port 5.1, havent tried yet.

Flashing & Tweaking Instructions (Follow this very carefully!!!):
- Place the zip at the root of your phone's internal storage (This is very important! If you flash the zip from a subfolder, you'll be left without wi-fi!!!)
- 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!
Wanna tweak it? Use Kernel Adiutor! (I do NOT support Synapse!!!)

Last Updated 2016-07-09
Hey!!! Are you looking for the changelogs?
I'm moving them to this page here! So please wait!
F.A.Q. Read this before moaning!!!!!!
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 ROMs?
A: No.
Q: Will this kernel work on xyz rom?
A: No. Non. Nein. Title clearly says: STOCK.
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?
Optimized Stock Kernel (aka "Kaminari SuperLite")
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.
So here is my Optimized Stock kernel.
Differences in relation to the stock kernel:
- Compiled using my custom Linaro 5.2 toolchain
- Bumped to Linux version 3.4.110
- Compiled with -O3 and Graphite flags (Same as Kaminari)
- Most if not all of Kaminari's optimizations have been applied
- All governors except Interactive removed
- Default I/O scheduler changed to cfq
- Default TCP congestion algorithm changed to Westwood
- 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
Differences in relation to Kaminari:
- All governors except Interactive removed
- All TCP congestion algorithms except Westwood and Reno removed
- Additional I/O schedulers (zen, vr, sio, fiops, bfq) removed
- Bricked Hotplug has been replaced by MPDecision
- All non-essential features (FauxSound, Kcal, Dt2w...) have been removed
- Stock PowerHAL has been re-enabled
- Version bump to 3.4.110 (Kaminari has been kept at 3.4.42)
- Compressed using LZO (Kaminari uses XZ)
Download it from here.
This one is mostly flash-and-forget. No need to tweak anything.
If you're coming from Kaminari, and you're using Kernel Adiutor, you MUST clear the app's data before flashing this build. If you can flash the stock kernel before flashing this, it's even better.
One more reserved...
Okay. Last reserved.
Oh guys... Can someone provide me their init.rc? So I can add proper init.d support

Try a different governor. Interactive likes to reset the frequencies to their default values. Or the chipset may be incompatible (despite it still being - technically - only an msm8226 with lte support).

Woww! Finally CPU overclock! It works very good! Thankyou man
I had read that overclock was virtually impossible because our phone was locked to a maximum CPU freq, it wasn't true? It's nice to have other options, thank you for the development.

I also believed that. But I once ran two Antutu benchmark tests, one with the default freq (1.2GHz) and the other with an increased freq (1.6GHz), and in the second test, I got a slightly higher score (which leads me to assume that the overclock actually works). Plus, my overclock implementation is different from the previous ones.

The phone has a locked multiplier, but it still have FSB overclock (like the old AMD athlom XP Days)
Dirty flashed on xt1039, it works. It's now time for tuning.
Thanks a lot! I was waiting for a kernel like this.
Is there the possibility to add the undervolting feature?

I've tried to do that with falcon. I had to solve the merge conflicts manually, but in the end the phone wouldnt boot - it went into a red screen saying "watchdog reset detected" right after the motorola logo. So, with that being said, we wont have undervolting for now, at least till i manage to solve that conflict
Third test build up!

Kernel Update!!
Thunderoar-Kernel 5.0 Codenamed "Angel Beats!"
Fix all issues regarding MTP not working
and random reboot, is this a comeback? xD, i don't know xD
It appears that my kernel uses a lot more memory than i expected,
Possibily some problem with memory patch in the kernel source
The workaround for this problem is you have to increase your disksize
In the kernel adiutor, if it stays at 300mb, it will not enough and cause a problem
Which is stuck or complete crash of device. Recommended size is 500mb or more if
you encountered it again and set swappiness into 60

Im back guyss, im out for awhile because my current kernel are sucks,
So i got a new phone which is Samsung J5, im developing kernel for the J5 for my
my own use, Not for sharing others because it will hurt my reputation XD,
and from that i learned a lot more about developing a good kernel,
Im goin to update the kernel using newer source, and im able to fix the
MTP and random reboot issues which is make me happy, its going out soon,
So if you guys still usin this device, you can use the new kernel that i will
post soon.
5/7/2017
For those of you who had a booting problem,
the V4.1.1 probably will fix it
3/7/2017
Finally, an actual stable one,
Rebuilt from the newest source from scratch
-V4.1-revived-version
22/6/2017
The new one probably the most stable,
been testing it for a week and so
far no problem or frequent reboot happen or
something like that
7/5/2017
Finally!!! Camera are fixed guys!
MTP functionality is still unconfirmed
Sorry for the long wait ^-^
1/1/2017
I decided to release a maintenance release update cause i found
that the device crash many times throughout all my kernel
and i decided to think about it more seriously and i had made
a maintenance release for you and report me if there still
crash happening on the device
27/12/2016
I wanted to release the kernel a little bit early cause
busy with new year celebration.The latest one is Thunderoar Kernel v2.6
Happy New Year to all of you!! sorry if i'm being too early
18/12/2016
I'm going get the new kernel ready next month which is the new year.
I'm gonna support SM-T113 too next year and continue with it *if it's working*
I'm going to need tester for sm-t113 next year
1/11/2016
enable the usb fast charge using the kernel adiutor app!
Camera are working on the stock kernel but not mine...
The source code for the camera is not exist in the source...
If you wanna connect your device to pc make sure the
USB fast charge is off,if it isn't disabled,you won't able to
manage file on your device through pc

jb 4.1.2 android please
sample werewolf kernel v003 good kernel add your tweaks oc ... thanks
note:I have tab 3 sm-t210 I now test kernel
ı using jb
Thunderous thank you very much for your kernel
Thunderoar I too lite sm t116, thanks for the kernel, a big request, you can port the cyanogen (11,12,13) or lilipop, I can help in testing and finding a donor for porting.

yeah,i'm currently compiling and test it,but it's to much build error while compiling it..
sorry not updating the kernel for so long,currently busy building marshmallow for our device
it's been 3/4 days i'm working on the rom,it's omnirom btw not cyanogenmod,omnirom is a little bit easier
