[KERNEL][T/W8][V3.1] Noble Kernel for Grace ports

This particular kernel arose out of frustration at the lack of choices that T-Mobile and Canadian S6 users have when flashing ported roms with the GraceUX UI and it would not have been possible without the original source posted by @Greck99 .
Feature-wise, this is the same exact kernel included in Noble Experience; however, it has been built against a W8 configuration and uses a stock ramdisk that has been modified solely for the purpose of booting hybrid ports.
Yes, blue light filter works. So does AOD (no touch for now)
Pair this kernel with the call audio fix for grace ux for the complete Noble Experience (or whatever GraceUX port you desire) on T/W8
Suggestions and feedback are welcome. Feature requests may be considered if I determine them to be useful enough to include
Thanks to:
@Greck99 & @Noxxxious for this awesome source
@AlexisXDA for making killer roms and something to be envious of
@The Sickness for his continued work on our devices and for all his contributions
@arter97 for hybrid ramdisk commits
And the Nexus7420 team in general.
I am not responsible for your device, you are.
This kernel should work for both T-Mobile and Canadian devices,
though has only been tested on a G920W8.

Interesting.. Did you flash SU after?
Edit: It also may be necessary to wipe dalvik if you are flashing this coming from Arter. I have flashed this on two different W8s without issue, so I'm fairly certain it works

No! So sorry! Did not think about flashing su because my rom already has it installed. I'll try again next time when I flash

Great kernel! Thanks to the developers for their hard work.
One question, even though you said no AOD, would you consider it as a feature request?

The main issue I have with AOD is the massive battery drain. Even with it not enabled in the kernel, the AOD app still drains battery. I actually trimmed it from my rom.
The other issue is that the only kernel I'm aware with the AOD feature is TN kernel, which the developer has chosen not to share his source.

Yeah, you're right. My only issue is I'd love to try out AOD even it drains my battery, since tn kernel brakes call function.. So if you have a test build, I'd gladly try it out
Its nice to have more choices anyway! Thanks a lot. :victory:

What groundwork did arter97 do? We should credit Samsung for giving us the proper bootclasspath instead.
And btw AOD is working
Thanks for making this kernel available on other models. When you need help or have feedback about the kernel PM me.

I used his commits for building the ramdisk, would've probably taken a lot more trial and error without them -- they aren't documented clearly anywhere else to my knowledge (and to be fair, not all of what he ships in the n7 kernel is required in the ramdisk for booting). Most kernel authors don't include their ramdisks in the source they post. Sure I could've decompiled the ramdisk shipped with Noble Experience and reverse engineered it, but that's not what I did. I just wanted to give credit for the path I took regardless of my opinions regarding those whose steps I followed.
I just noticed a slurry of new commits in the upstream branch which I pulled into my fork earlier today and built a test build for myself. I will be releasing it once I've had a bit of chance to test things out and make sure all is working :good: So far things are running great for me.
Thank you very much for the work you've done and for sharing your source. The blue light filter is the real cream for me here as the overlay in cf.lumen causes lag for me. It is greatly appreciated by myself and all the others with our device. I could've just taken a stock kernel and started from scratch, but this is oh-so-much better than that!

Kernel Updated to Version 3
This update is largely a merge with up upstream source. Kernel is feeling very smooth, and in addition AOD drivers have been added and most of the kinks have been worked out.
Kernel is now using a custom built dt.img for AOD support which has not been tested for edge devices (though the reboots never affected them). I see no reason why it shouldn't work, please let me know if it causes any catastrophic failures!
Edit: V3 Image for G925T/W8 has been re-uploaded as of 1:05pm PST. Fixes for call audio regarding the custom dt.img -- removed it as it's not needed.

@lizaSB nice work. I see now that I have some compitition lol. JK.
Glad to see some fresh blood here on the kernel side.

Works beautifully on my G920T (XAR). Thanks OP! One thing though: I would suggest highlighting the note that installing SuperSU immediately afterwards is mandatory to make it more easily seen as the device wouldn't boot without it...

[KERNEL][6+] s1mple espresso

I don't like large threads. My old espresso needs an up, so where we go.
It's based on latest omap4 common by unlegancy-android with these changes:
Compiled with custom Linaro GCC by @Christopher83.
CPU underclocked to 200MHz and overclocked up to 1400MHz.
GPU overclocked up to 512MHz. (384 default)
Custom voltages based on user experience.
Touch boost from franco kernel. (default boost set to 1200MHz)
Mini-FAQ:
Q: It works on all ROMs? Nougat?
R: It should work on any recent ROM who use omap4 common by unlegancy-android.
Q: All variants?
R: Due compatibility issues it could be not work on some devices/combinations, test it.
If won't work, please provide the variant, ROM, TWRP and last_kmsg if possible.

Click to collapse
Q: Is safe 1400MHz on espresso?
R: Yes, passed my stability tests without problems.
Q: Works with ramdisk mods? (Magisk)
R: Yes, by AnyKernel2.
Code:
Change CPU max clock:
# echo 'x' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
x = 1080000, 1200000, 1300000, 1400000
Change GPU max clock:
# echo 'x' > /sys/devices/platform/omap/pvrsrvkm.0/sgxfreq/frequency_limit
x = 153600000, 384000000, 512000000

NICE.....Test It Soon

Didn't work for me
Tried to install it over AICP and just boot looped.
Then I installed ResurectionRemix and installed the kernel and had the same results.
Used TWRP 3.2.0.0
Thanks for trying to give us something new for our old Tab2

I checked these ROMs and they use omap4 common, should have worked, maybe a ramdisk issue, to be fair I just tested it with recent OmniROM MM and it's working fine, I will try these.

THANK YOUUU FINALLY A NEW KERNEL HERE...does it work on nougat Roms?

Yeah, tested with latest Lineage 14.1, however, I found an issue about frequency scaling, it boots with max frequency of 300MHz :laugh:
But you can change it using adb/terminal later.

New build up :fingers-crossed:
Now it's compiled with custom Linaro GCC by @Christopher83
Added touch boost from franco kernel :highfive: (interactive governor only, configurable)
Removed 200MHz in attempt to fix frequency scaling issues
OP updated.

Installed latest OmniRom 6 booted and then installed S1mple kernel. Left it to boot for 1 hour and it never booted. turned off and tried again, not luck.
re-installed my AICP backup.
Might try it with Slim6 when I have some time, but would prefer an unrooted rom since I use netflix.

Thanks @dcastro172 a new custom kernel sounds like fun, would be very cool to have something more or less stable with this significant OC added, I'll need to check this out when I'm near to my p5110 soon.. :good:

Did you try with Andi's builds or from official Omni website? espresso3g or wifi? It will only work with recent Andi's builds, I'm running it and works well.

"OT response to close": Only been able to get netflix to work by sideloading on ROM that is unrooted no gapps .
Magisk 16 has been problematic for me. 14 was okay. I would use magisk 14 to root to enable OC on s1mple kernel.

FYI, I have a P3113,

The newer (maybe 2018) are default libion and it is said not to flash any custom kernels as they are not compatible.... So is this the reason some people have some trouble?

Excellent! Finally a overclockable kernel for our devices! Thank you very much Mr. dcastro172! Will test and report here ASAP!

Well, recent ROMs with updated repos from unlegancy/lineageos builds with standard libion by default, my fork will only work with standard libion, some outdated ROMs use TI's libion and will not work, I think it's not the issue since @Skarni tried with latest OmniROM from @Android-Andi (which use standard libion) and won't worked for his P3113 while my P5110 woks perfectly.
And the dmesg from @Sam Nakamura is not much useful why it's from his reboot after the bootloop, I thought it has a SELinux issue but it's not, however I looked at second line and it looks like an old official build:
Code:
<5>[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.0.101-gbb24628 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 9 09:46:13 UTC 2017
I'm trying figure it by looking at unlegancy/lineageos commits if I'm missing something but no luck yet.

Oh, this should explain, but you was using a different kernel when you flashed it?

[Kernel] SMF-KERNEL - RR/AICP/LOS/AOSP - 8.1

Hello!
I want to introduce my first custom kernel for the Essential PH-1. This is based of several sources, I cherry-picked commits to make improvements to the stock LOS kernel. I'm not a developer, but i really like to port stuff over .
Kernel is suitable for AOSP based ROMS such as RR/AICP/CARBON/LOS etc... If you want to request for specific features, let me know and i'll do my best to bring them over.
Special Features:
Updated to lastest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: cultivation / impulse
added a few IO Schedulers: Maple
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge - pending will be added in R2
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock - will be added in R2
Motorola Quickwake - Will be added in R2
and manny other small fixes (you can check the commits in the sources)
Download
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....
Latest Release: SMF-Kernel R2
Known issues:
05.17.2018 - CPU Freq don't always stick, known issue caused by other drivers. Phone will eventually set your frequencies, dont' panic.
Installation:
Obviouly you have a Unlocked Bootloader since you're running a custom rom (make sure to never lock your bootloader in this state)
Boot into Bootloader (adb reboot Bootloader)
If you want to root flash the "Magisk" version of the kernel, it's been prerooted with the latest Magisk Beta available.
Code:
fastboot flash boot SMF-Kernel-R1-Magisk.img
reboot
If you want to manually root, first flash twrp, then from twrp flash the 'non magisk' version and after that flash the magisk zip.

Looks awesome! I'll give it a try soon!
(For anyone wondering about overclocking the CPU, he committed some changes to the github that would apply this and it should appear in the next revision of the kernel.)

I found Cultivation to be really great in terms of perfornance. It's a little bit agressive with the CPU so you get buttery smooth experience with Screen On but it may cost a few % on battery at the end of the day. The good thing is that it has specific tunables and you can set a low cpu freq for when the screen is off.
Specific details from its developer:
-based off of caf 4.4 commits
-uses per-pcu timers
-use state_notifier for screen off timer
option to set different timer rate when screen off
-improrted fastlane with threshold from blu_active
In regards of vibration control. It should be there. I'm using EX Kernel Manager and i can see the vibration option under "Miscellaneous"

For the vibration control, it doesn't actually work/stick. I've tried kernel auditor and EX Kernel Manager. To be fair, so far it has only worked on LOS and I think invisiblek may have rewritten the stock controller or something so no worries if it isn't a high priority haha

I'll take a look at the latest commits but I've used the latest los kernel base so I'm not sure why is not sticking maybe it needs rom support too (not sure honestly) hahaha
I've been testing R2 since yesterday. Will update after y he weekend!

Just out of curiosity, was anything involving the camera done to this kernel? I am now able to record videos without the bug, on any of the affected ROMs, with this kernel.

Sp you were right. Honestly don't know what happened but I installed the latest RR (clean install) put R2 on top of it and bam recording works as you mentioned lol..
I guess it was a lucky strike!

after flashing the kernel with magisk, stuck on "AICP is starting"
is this normal?

Hey!
Have you booted once and setup everything before flashing the prerooted image?
I've had that error but having all set and then flashing the image will get me rooted. Try to see if you can find magisk manager in the apps list from the settings if you do, reboot and there will be magisk

Shouldn't. If you flashed the prerooted magisk image try downloading the magisk manager app manually from xda and see if magisk works

Notices and Q&A
The kernel is based on tw10-android-4.9-q branch of ELS, which is currently at stable state from my experience
Other related features of the kernel were picked from other sources. Credits belong to the owner
The kernel's energy costs table is remade in favor of new EMS scheduler
Questions and Answers (Q&A)
Q: AnTuTu scores please?
A: This kernel isn't made for benchmarks so let's not talk about it
Q: My phone gets hot while using this kernel?
A: Short answer: It's your own issue, fix it yourself. Nobody makes a kernel just to burn your hands
Long answer:
Install Termux app from Play Store
Enable screen rotation, open Termux in landspace mode
Type this command: su -c top -d 2
A list of processes will appear and refresh with 2s interval. Find which process consumes the most CPU usage with [%CPU] column and the package name in ARGS column. You should see the culprit of your issue
Reminder: There is no such thing as "I have nothing in background but the phone still heats up". There definitely something happen and 99% of the time it's some of the rogue apps running in background
Q: Can you add X Y Z feature to this kernel?
A: I want to keep the kernel clean and simple. However, if the feature is really useful, I'll consider adapting it with proper performance check before releasing
Q: Installation procedure?
A: Simply flash the kernel with supported ROM and forget. No Magisk reinstallation needed

Reversed for future usage

Another kernel for S9 devices, awesome.?
Thanks

Updated initial release with latest defconfig base for DTC5 vendor

Limit of downloadings from google...

Hey. Will this kernel Work with dtc4 vendor?

Build kernel from scratch
I need help with building kernel outside of android build system.
I have downloaded sources from here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android..._universal9810 , installed cross-compiler, configured with "make exynos9810-starlte_defconfig", build with "make". For now I have file arch/arm64/boot/Image .
How to build correct dtb and pack it with the Image file to bootable image?
Thank you.

Second public build is coming, and this will be the final build of the kernel project!
We have been going through lots of ups and downs in the testing group, so here are the results
Changes:
Fixes zram on boot
Adapted a new kernel scheduler, supporting 32/64-bit task scheduling
Critical scheduler performance fixes
Adapted newer vendor support
As this is the final build of the whole kernel project, I'd like to say thank you to all supporters/developers who helped me improving the kernel. The whole project hasn't lasted long, but it was a great time. This and the RZ Kernel project for Exynos 8895 will also be abandoned, unfortunately
Once again, thank you for all your support!

Arigathanks! I've been using the kernel for quite sometime and I like how it's underclocked by default. What device would you be moving to?

Sad to see such a nice kernel getting abandoned.
What needs to be done to keep it updated and relevant? Would love to keep it alive.

Using this kernel with havoc os, all is good as a daily driver battery life with this combo is awesome

I'm still using my daily driver (S8+) and currently don't have plans buying any other devices

Perhaps you can clone my kernel repo and do something with it. The most contemplating thing is to handle future vendor updates from Samsung. The kernel might go unbootable on latest One UI at some point, so someone must be doing the stock defconfig update (that's the least requirement to boot One UI ROMs with newer vendor)

Hmmm....Usually I can verify that the kernel has been installed by checking it's build date. But it still shows the same like before. I'm running official LOS and flashed the kernel in LOS recovery. According to the log it went fine. Maybe it doesn't work with that recovery?
Edit: Ok, in TWRP it works fine.

Anyone tried using with the latest vendor / security patch? I'm on Alexis ROM 1.8 would love to continue using this kenel.

It works without issues for the most part except for USB C audio output which stutters compared to stock kernel.

I tried it. Some tweaks not working like showing download speed and reverted back the old power menu (no emergency call) which is baked in the rom and the settings menu changes like 2 battery options in the menu. One is fixed at maximum power saving and cant change while another is on the device health or something which can be change. I also found that sometimes it ramps up the clocks without any reason i still manage to get 4.5-5.3hrs of sot with light usage. The chrome is unusable since it bugged out like its inverted color and cant see sh*t.

How was the standby drain? What twrp did you use? I used 3.4.0.0 of TWRP. The chrome is super dark and cant see. Can you confirm this or im an isolated case? Do you think its because of not using twrp 3.3.1.1 that bugged mine? Hope you can help me. Thanks!

After flashing and rebooting, my device keeps on restarting and does not boot into the OS. Downloaded the .zip twice to make sure that the file didn't get corrupt when downloading. This looks like an amazing kernel and can't wait to use it once this issue is hopefully fixed.

The download link was not updated however it showed me the updated file (https://sourceforge.net/projects/kintsugi-reborn/files/kintsugi-reborn-stable#2.10-2.zip/download) but unfortunately flashing the new file did not fix the issue. But thank you for the time you took trying to fix it, hopefully you could find the root cause soon. Is there any logs or anything that I could provide to assist?

Hello, unfortunately I am still facing the same issue. I noticed in your credits it said "@Geckyn for their great work in achieving the Exynos 7885's kernel compilation with Clang" however my A30 has got an Exynos 7904, could this be the root cause?

7904 runs same board as 7885.

Excellent kernel
After several days of using it, it doesn't present any bug and everything is going very well.

how to install? I get error:1 on twrp

Just a bootloop a305f, not good

Is there any android 11 GSI version of this kernel?

×Bluetooth not work×
