[Kernel] [T210] 4.1.2 Kernel for use w/ KitKat Bootloader - Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development

This kernel is for users that have flashed the KitKat firmware but decided to return to a 4.1.2 based rom.
To clarify, This is for 4.1.2 Touchwiz based roms only.
Reason for new kernel:
The new KitKat bootloader does not allow offline charging to work properly with the older 4.1.2 kernels. This kernel fixes that issue and offline charging will work as it did on full stock 4.1.2 firmware.
What kernel is this?
This is @ketut.kumajaya's blackhawk 2.1 kernel (compiled by me) modified to work with the new KitKat bootloader. All credit is given to him for the original kernel and the new fix. I am posting this per his wishes.
Other Features:
See the original blackhawk thread for other features of this kernel.
Source:
See original blackhawk thread .
Modifications: See THIS post.
Installation:
Flashed attached zip in your custom recovery.

Amazing Work!
Thanks gr8nole for this kernel! You have done so much for us tab 3 users. Keep up the great work! I wish you the best!

Thank you very much for the great work you did here. I appreciate. I'll flash it hence

I have flashed it. But I discovered that my tab is now very slow. Unnecessarily sluggish. I don't know whether it's the kernel or what

It is the same same kernel as ketut's Blackhawk with minimal changes, so it should perform just as well as that one (which always performed great).

OK. Or maybe I should reflash the ROM? Please bear with my ignorance. If there's any other way to make it faster, I'll appreciate that.

Please there is something I discovered now. Whenever I open maps, after some time the tablet would freeze until I do hard reset.
I also discovered that much RAM is being used, seems the system doesn't manage RAM usage well again by closing some apps when RAM is getting used up. I think this is the reason for the tablet freezing. Even after factory restore, it continued that way. All these after installing the blackhawk kernel.
Can the kernel be replaced with stock by flashing through Odin? Or if there is any other remedy, I'll appreciate it much. Thanks

Just reflash your rom to get your previous kernel back.

OK. Thanks

Sorry I'm new to the Tab 3, as I don't own one but my brother does, but how do I get the KK Bootloader??

awesome work bro, can you make this build for T211 :fingers-crossed: ?

It's a bug in stock firmware that's why I have switched to 4.4.2

[INT/Bell][CWM]Auto Ram Fixer for unlocked bootloader

Hi,
This is a small CWM zip to add the [email protected] line to your existing boot and recovery partitions to fix the ram issue with the international unlocked bootloader. If the second mem is already there it does nothing.
The point of this is you can have a regular recovery flashed and fix the ram issue without wondering what tegra part you have, it preserves your serial number as well. More useful with stock boot images than custom ones that already have this done.
To use:
Flash with a CWM recovery supporting edify scripting. That means you have an unlocked recovery basically.The program inside the zip can be used on it's own to list the cmdlines already in your phone, or to set them to something else.
As cmdline, it lists, as setcmdline it sets the entire thing, as addcmdline it adds on to the end of the existing cmdline.​Cheers!
Great! Looks like our bell friends are having good development as well.

So would i need to flash this once and then any ROM I install will have fixed RAM, or do I need to flash this after every installation?

You can just keep it handy on your sdcard and use when needed, it depends on the "rom" you flash, it may or may not have a ram fix solution built in.

It depends on the Kernel the Rom has within it, nothing else.
Furthermore, no offense. But this is kinda useless now. Did you not know we have unified Kernel's? If someone made a Rom without a unified kernel, they can basically shove that Rom.
I do not see a point in this at all. I guess maybe for testing old Roms.....

Hi,
I addressed this already in the OP. It's more for use with stock kernels.
Can you compile the motorola kernel source (pick one) and get a binary exact match for the stock Bell kernel?
No offense to the guys working on kernel's here, but I am not really compelled by the added features/bug fixes, and am concerned more about stability, especially when the source seems to be ATT based. Which is fine if you are running an ATT framework "rom/theme" I guess, even better if you have an ATT phone.
Cheers!

System Ram lists 816 total, so I should be in the clear or should I apply it anyways? Is there not a gig of ram on this thing or is some gpu/frame buffer dedicated?

So, if I understand this correctly, when I flash this it will auto-fix any ROM, kernel or custom recovery that I install?

[Q] Hi guys,new here!

So I just got a Galaxy Note N-7000 from my dad,and it is already rooted,
but I'm looking to replace my ROM so I have a few questions (hope this is the right place to open this thread in,if not - sorry in advance):
1.Can anyone recommend a JB based rom with nice (not the most important factor to me) design,that mainley runs smooth and FC-free?
[Also very important to me - I need something I can install hebrew on)
2.Does anybody know any JB based roms that have full hebrew support?
[This is the only one I have found :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208589
and I'm not so sure about it,any feedbacks for pros&cons for this ROM will be greatly appreciated. ]
Thank you!

Welcome!
That is a nice TW (stock samgsung software) based rom, with some tweaks and a diferent kernel you can make it really fast.
On the other hand, as you said you want it to look good I'd recommend you to use VengeanceNote TW, as it's MIUI over the TW base. It is fast. It is beautiful. I'm not sure about the hebrew support tough, you might want to head to the thread and ask there. The dev, Gerrett, is preetty nice and wil most definitely help you as much aas he can.
If you want to use an AOSP ( Google software ) I'd most definitely recommend you Asylum + NX Kernel. This is as fast as my note has ever been. Don't worry about everyone on the thread being crazy tough. Thay are nice after you get used to them
Anyway, good luck with your phone You'll love it

First of all - thank you very much for your quick comment
It's good to meet nice and kind people like you! :good:
Second of all - about that VenganceNote TW - it looks very nice but I had a very bad experience with MIUI on my old SGS,
tons of FC and sometimes I coulden't take calls.
Do you know if this one is stable?
Also,do you know anything about this one ? :

You're lucky then, I had FC on all ROMs i've used on my SGS
I've used VengeanceNote for a long time. It is very stable indeed. Only problem i could remember is that it had a duplicated root manager app, but if you opened the right one you would have no problem at all. I'm just waiting for a custom kernel to support it so i can jump back to it.
Never used Carbon Rom itself, but from what i've experienced with this all-in-one roms, they're not very stable.
I'd say if you're interested on AOSP Asylum is the way to go. It's really clean and fast. And if you don't like the all black look you can always install CM10 themes

I think that would be great,as I said I'm looking for a fast,clean ROM and Asylum sounds perfect,
just 2 more small questions:

2.I would love it if you could explain to me how to install some CM10 themes and where to get them !

Nop, you can use phlz for flashing, but Asylum will overwrite it with CM10 kernel. But i recommend flashing NX after you flashed the rom. It has OC support and GPU clock control. It makes things really smooth.
About the themes you can get them on play store or on some threads here on xda. A quick google search for "CM10 theme" will show you lots of results.

Ummm,actually no,my dad just recommended it to me he said PhilZ is one of the best kernels developers out there,
and that its very safe to use his recovery (maybe I didn't understand correctly but I heard there was a problem some time ago with
ICS kernels/wiping or something,and that this phone got bricked once because of that)
He also said speedmod is great,but I dunno that guy or his kernels lol.

Indeed he's a great dev, and he saved many of us from bricking our devices
On stock samsung kernels, there's a bug, that when you wipe your data partition on recovery it corrupt's the memory chip, rendering it useless. So if you are going to use stock roms on your phone, either don't wipe or stick to safe kernels.
On the other hand, the AOSP kernels don't show such behaviour and are generally safe. So if your going with Asylum, don't worry. You're safe.

No, unfortunatelly you can't add thos features on any AOSP rom. Neither those nor Snote and other TW apps.
VengeanceNote include them tough. Seems you have to make your choice

Basebands Reviews

I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.
I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.
I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine
I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use
Sry for the way I express myself but english is not my native language
Goodluck and don't think about it just flash it and see for yourself

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.
in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).
Goodluck

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know

I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use
Sry for the way I express myself but english is not my native language
Goodluck and don't think about it just flash it and see for yourself

Thank you! I always liked the nucleus CM, and now I share them with you! Best kernel on any KitKat!
Martin you are a real Devil.
A GOOD Devil.
Thanks for taking care of the problems. I have problems with my build machine and hence the delay in releasing new builds. I have built one today that takes care of the wifi issues. Atleast I dont see any issues.
Keep up the great work. :good:
I was on CyanFox with Gear Kernel. I lost my Baseband after flashing this Kernel. I can't restore it even after flashing a backup.

Thank you! I had some problems if you simply copy the boot.img with your Assembly into any other. Although productivity gains were immediately. Now everything is perfect. Perhaps Mokee and BAM, I will spread with CM-Kernel!

I fixed it by flashing Fluid Kernel. Then copy/paste from efs-backup to efs-folder and reboot.

This phone used to have 400-410 mb of ram in jellybean. It lost 15% of its ram overnight with kitkat. What happened? I mean it's not as if it did not have low enough ram but with these new kernels this phone must be often slowing to a crawl...

[Kernel/Rom][TW4.0.4]_Forest_ICS-Revival

*** This KERNEL ONLY SUPPORTS SAMSUNG TW ICS 4.0.4 ROMs (STOCK and CUSTOM). DOES NOT WORK IN CM or AOSP!!! ***
*** The Kernel is based on TW JB source which is safe ***
*** Still, I take no responsibility if the provided KERNELs causes any problem to your phone, you are warned! ***
Hello all,
I have been using all newer versions of rom for our "ancient but wonderful" G-Note. Still not quite happy and I missed the feeling of light and fast of the old ICS rom. The stock is not good enough, while the custom kernels most got pulled down and none supported trim, causing rom to slowdown after some time used.
So decided to make a custom ICS rom and kernel for myself. After many many testings with ICS kernel sources without feeling satisfied, I re-based to JB kernel source and wow! What a nice surprise. The combination made my Note flight!.
I feel extremely happy with it, my Note feel like a new device. So I share here with you:
Forest_ICS-Revival_TW-rom
Forest_ICS-Revival_kernel
KERNEL CHANGELOGS:
Kernel-V3:
- 1600 MHz OC CPU option, stock GPU
- Compile using uber toolchain
Kernel_V2:
- Reverse to stock CPU ang GPU
- Fix video recording
- improve battery life
Kernel_V1:
- GPU 3 steps (133-267-400)
- Enable OC CPU to 1600 (default). Allow to customize CPU voltage.
- PhilZ Touch recovery
- Exfat native support
- Trim support
- Various tweaks from Speedmod kernel
My favorite kernel governors and schedulers combination: SmartassV2+Vir or PegasusQ+Row
ROM FEATURES:
- Based on stock TW ICS 4.0.4: LR8
- Almost as stock. Removed lots of bloats apks.
- Add 14 toggles
- Call recording.
The room is extremely fast and responsive. It handle heavy games (such as Golfstar) like a breeze and also battery friendly. :good::good::good::good::good:

@forest1971 thanks for hanging on to the old note. Any development for this device is always appreciated.
Btw could u develop a kernel for cm13. Most of the n7000 users use cm13 and a new kernel would a useful addition. Afterall u r the only kernel developer left apart from bauner. Cheers

Thanks. But just so u know, the rom is stable to use with a few bugs here and there. Most of us users here have it as our daily driver. Hope to see ur kernel soon!
Thx for your effort

Reboot to a custom recovery.wipe data and then flash the rom.
If you are om an ics rom, then flash the kernel would be enough.
I will add the instruction later.

Is there Interactive governor in there? What are the frequency steps for the kernel? I might try this if I can find the TW roms.

As shown in the title and OP, the rom is essentially a stock TW ICS 4.0.4 (LR8). I remove some bloatware apk and added few mods.
The main improvement is in the kernel.

I mean you flash rom only or kernel only to another rom? did you make a lean install or dirty flash...? should make clean install and see how it goes.

It was a clean install. Full wipe of data and cache, then install. Though I didn't do a factory reset and another cache wipe before reboot, could that be it?

It's strange. There are a few dozens download so far, so I hope others will report.
In the mean time can you post a screening shot of the setting/about phone? I would like to make sure kernel version is correct one.
