Hi guys,
BIG FAT WARNING
WARNING: TELUS ONLY
this is my first modded kernel for the [ Telus Fascinate ]
T E L U S FASCINATE edition of the Platypus Revolutions kernel
This Project is inactive/low activity for a longer period of time
Kernel
CM7 & MIUI only
NEO series
(since May 24th '11)
Do you want to discuss on this kernel, get the news on the current state of development, or test kernels even fresher than fresh ?

(thanks to Tk for the layout idea )
before you ask for any ETAs:
The first rule of CyanogenMod [and this project]: DO NOT ASK FOR AN ETA!
First step before install & kernel switch:
Always have this cleaning script on your internal SD card ready
If you're switching kernels, have issues with auto-rotation, the cam, bootloops or other sorts of problem (failed overclock attempt),
please use lippol94's updated cleaning script (apply via CWM recovery) :http://www.multiupload.com/XFH1GCK4MB
Introduction:
Hi guys,
this is my first modded kernel for the SGS/Telus Fascinate (CM7/MIUI only)
I first needed to test it to make sure that it'll be stable & boot at the first place
so far it's very fast & responsive & smooth
This thread shall serve as the center for my testing kernels (stability & functionality-wise)
DISCLAIMER: the kernel (binary) and driver modules are provided as is. If problems occcur they most probably are from upstream and can be fixed with the newest version. Since I'm doing this in my free spare time as a hobby (quenching my thirst for tweaks & performance) updates will occur irregularly as time permits and I see fit (most probably when new features & bugfixes arrive). YOU are responsible for the actions that you take (such as over- or underclocking), etc. You agree that I can not be held liable for any potential damage that arises from your actions in combination with or the usage of this kernel and other related parts.
Kudos:
* Google, Andy Rubin & the whole Android crew
* Linus Torvalds & the kernel hackers for upstream Linux
* cyanogen & all the devs out there hacking on this
* Supercurio for enriching our media experience of this smartphone
* codeworkx, coolya, guiper, atinm - the whole teamhacksung|cmsgsteam crew and all other hackers working on CM7
* laststufo, hardcore, nikademus, existz and all the other kernel hackers on the SGS forum
* zen-kernel team for inspiration to create a kernel, too
* all other contributors (devs, users, etc.) who make this possible
The purpose of these kernels is extensive stability testing addressing the following sticking points:
- overall stability & functioning of the kernel and phone
- call drops, missed calls, etc.
- lags (suggestions for improvements are welcome)
- auto-rotation, sensors, etc.
- Voodoo Control Plus [any crashes ? compatibility problems ?]
- working on CM7 or MIUI ?
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation & lags: Tap Tap Revenge 4 (especially at the beginning of songs)
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation and any other issues: doodle dash (while shooting & sound activated)
- proper pmem memory layout & settings: proper functioning of Google Googles

Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1600 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1440 MHz - 1.475v / -75mv
1400 MHz - 1.450v / -75mv
1300 MHz - 1.400v / -75mv
1200 MHz - 1.350v / -75mv
1000 MHz - 1.250v / -50mv - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - 1.200v / -75mv
400 MHz - 1.050v / -100mv
200 MHz - 0.950v / -150mv
100 MHz - 0.950v / -200mv - (can be very different between two devices)
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.
Note : Never ever use SetCPU with this kernel. You could encounter many stability problems like random reboots or bootloops.

it probably includes:
- creating a tar initial kernel for flashing with Odin
- replacing the kernel in an initial update-package from the SGS with my kernel (for the telus fascinate)
- then following the steps codeworkx posted at [All Models] CyanogenMod 7 for Samsung Galaxy S Phones - EXPERIMENTAL
I'm not sure though

I'm not sure any of this will work for our phone. Sounds like just the telus fascinate.
You may want to put a note that this is for Telus in the OP in bold/red so there aren't VZW Fascinate users flashing this and wondering why nothing works.

ok, I clarified it in the thread title (TELUS FASCInate) - more room isn't there so hopefully that makes it clear
sorry any (potential) breakage
due to flashing this on an Fascinate
thanks !
First of all, I want to thank you for every second you put in this kernel. As stated, you should put TELUS ONLY in big red letter on the first post. as we dont have our own thread, people don't read enough and say "Hey, its for fascinate, i'll try it".I'll test it as soon as i'll be able and i'll tell you if there is problem. But i didn't saw much problem on your i9000 kernel so i don't think there will be more with this one. Thanks again fellas, keep your good work going ^^.
@chadouming:
done
hope that's BIG enough
Big thanks for building this for the Telus Fascinate
I didn't find it stated in your post, but does this kernel include any lagfix as well?
Is it compatible with any other custom roms or only MIUI and CM7??

no lagfix needed (it's using yaffs2 for all partitions, ext4 for /data)
once you've tried it - you'll see that it's literally flying

nope since the partition layout is different from that of Samsung ROMs
CM7 which MIUI is also based on tries to stay as close to AOSP (android open source project) as possible
so it'll only work with that
besides that Samsung ROMs include a lot of proprietary stuff that only works with Touchwiz

Sorry for my bad english
So I finally compiled cm7 platypus kernel for Telus Fascinate GSM PHONE(not verizon(CDMA))
changing little bit of mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c(see attached changed keymapping part )
Telus fasinate is same as galaxys i9000 except softkey(same softkey with captivate)
so I changed the keymapping for glaxys with captivate in mach-aries.c
and than compiled it with using galaxys config
I flashed it into my phone and everything is working fine except WI-FI
It gives me error when i try to turn it on.
I also swapped bcm4329.ko and tun.ko ,but still it gives me error
If i use i9000 kernel it works fine
I tried many times comping new kernel, but still no kernel works.
also tried reboot my phone,but still not working
any solution? or can anyone compile for me?

Yeah, really obvious now, which is just perfect for fast reader. thx
Okay, I am a noob. Glad to be on XDA, but a noob nonetheless.
I know the basic in's and out's of flashing, backing up ROMs, etc.
Well, I want to learn how to start writing my own custom ROMs.
I have (at least I think) most of the necessary software, SDK Tools, Microsoft Basic and C++ 2010. But I don't have anything but basic knowledge of code. Anybody willing to help a noob out and get me kick-started in making ROMs and coding in general?
The only device I have to work with is a PC and my HTC DInc. It's been a great phone
I'd much appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance,

The kernel is in C
Android is mostly java (if its open source = Cyanogenmod).
But most Roms just and and replace apps. Maybe add some themes and stuff. Have a modded kernel for OC and stuff. And thats mostly it.

Well, see I don't really get most of that. I don't understand the differences between C and C++ and Basic, I know they're separate languages, but I don't really notice any differences.
And I have never flashed a new kernel before, just new ROMs I'm actually pretty sure I still have the Stock DInc kernel, unless a few of the ROMs I've flashed came with kernels specifically for them... Not really sure how kernels effect the ROM :/ Like I said, noob. Hard.
Well, until you have flashing down, then I would stick there. Once you do it a few times, it is no big deal. The first time might have you on the edge of your seat.

The Kernel has a major effect on the rom. Changing a kernel can make a rom much better or far worst. Kernels allow many customizations in the rom like overclocking. Here's an example of this: Kernel A may allow your device to be overclocked to 1.2Ghz and Kernel B may allow your device to be overclocked to 1.9Ghz. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing) . It's basically the same in Android.

Thanks for the description man that really specified it for me.
Ok, learning a bit at a time is good Anyone want to take me under their wing and teach me about writing code and creating my own ROMs?
My question is when u install resurrection remix there are 3 types of kernetl i want to know what are the differences between them.
why dont you ask this question in Resurrection Remix thread?, just use siyah kernel or go to the kernel threads and read the differences between them.
Just to give you a brief overview,
Siyah: This kernel allows you to tweak many things, including overclocking, undervolting and having the largest array of governors to choose from. It would probably be best to use try to take full advantage of this kernel only if you know what you're doing....
CM10: This kernel is CyanogenMod 10's kernel as its name suggests. It is reported by many users to feature excellent battery life.
Fluxi: This is a custom kernel that is also reported by many users to have excellent battery life.
If you want to know more, do as republicano suggests and go look into their threads (Fluxi and Siyah). For CM10 you'll have to google it because as far as I can see it does not have a thread in the SGSII section of this forum.

Good overview bro but you missed the info under CM10 kernel.
Stock CM10 kernel unlike CM9 (which give great battery life), eats/kill battery life like hell. That's why most people flash another kernel right after flashing CM10 / CM10-based Roms

thanks very much for answering my question
Hi! This is maybe a general dev question, but I'd like to get an answer anyway:
what is exactly the link between an Android release and the kernel it works upon?
I noticed most recent releases use 3.0+ Linux kernels, and others (like the DSCs) use the Phoenix Universal Kernel, which is based on a 2.6.35... So I wonder: is ICS/JB in any way dependant on "newer" kernels?
I understand the answer must be closer to "no", since the pre-alpha build also uses a fork of the PUK, but the fact that it uses a *different version* makes me wonder how much work does it take to get a kernel ready for a newer release, and most importantly... why?
Thanks a lot! Total n00b here, but eager to know more.
Newer kernel not required at least for ICS.
All GB/ICS kernels are based on this kernel (and it's a Dell's lie about using same sources for 407 release as SoD was fixed there without switching timer source):
http://opensource.dell.com/releases/streak/4.05_and_4.07/
kibuuka successfully applied kgsl/genlock patch and it's the only thing actually needed for ICS.
List (a bit old) of changes in Phoenix kernel and later derivatives:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25291276&postcount=3812
** Note: This kernel is end-of-life and will no more be maintained. There will be no LineageOS 15.1 or newer kernel be available anymore **
Hi all,
some of you know me from the Samsung devices area, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.).
Maybe you also know me from my OnePlus One kernels I added in winter last year to my portfolio.
Finally I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 afew weeks ago and decided to port my kernel also to this device. This is a sponsored device, so I want to say a big thank you to the people that made it possible, namely the ones in the German Smartphone Forum www.hubo.in !!!
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
For the Samsung Stock Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official LineageOS/Cyanogenmod and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Change logs
(you can also access them directly in Boeffla-Config V2 by pressing menu and selecting "change log...")

Google gcc 4.8 toolchain used for best stability
Always using latest Initramfs
Always based on latest Galaxy S5 sm-g900f kernel sources by CM
Kernel runs with SELinux enforcing by default, just as CM12 stock kernel for S5 - but can be configured to work in permissive mode in Boeffla-Config settings
Note: I do NOT upstream the kernel to higher Linux kernel versions anymore as this usually has zero benefit but likely introduces new issues + is a waste of effort in the end

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the Galaxy S5 kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are on Samsung Stock, CM12 or CM11 !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.1.72 or higher for the Galaxy S5 Boeffla Kernels.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam

* ktoonsez
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux

* Gokhanmoral
* Entropy512
* Faux
* Ak
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in your custom recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!

Cannot comment for Temasek, as written.. it is for official CM12. And it is only tested by me with official CM12.
If it runs with Temasek - fine. If not, you need to search why it reboots for you. Then Temasek seems not 100% compatible.

Flashed fine on AICP.
Only heard good things about your kernel!

Thanks.
But also let's be realistic. It is version 1.0-beta1. So for sure some more way to go

@Lord Boeffla
Hi Andi, a big neverending thanks for providing us with an S5 (G900F/klte) kernel.
Coming from my i9300 which ran the whole time with your wellknown and imho best kernel for the i9300 I am familiar with your fine app and highly appreciate your new work for the S5.
And btw: Due to so far not working TRDS for LP/cm12 I still run kitkat for s5 (same with my i9300) using FusionRom which is mostly based on cm11.
Now with Boeffla-cm11 for G900F based on FusionRom 4.4.4 I feel happy again - fast-stable-easy to handle 1A+++

Quick question: Are you coming from another custom kernel?
It might be, some cleanup work is required first.
Just had a user that came from KT kernel and he had to deinstall the two KT apps manually, wipe dalvik and cache. Then it started working.

CM12 kernel seems to work fine on bliss-pop. At least so far. ?

I was the user
You must delete in root/system/app/com.ktoonsez.KTmonitor.apk and com.ktoonsez.KTweaker.apk.
Additionally, in Int SDcard the KTKernel Folder with profiles and scripts.
First, install the Boeffla Config, then go into recovery and flash the kernel. Wipe cash and Dalvik and reboot.
For Viper4android user, first deactivate Viper4Android or use the Beoffla Kernel without Boeffla sound settings.
Sorry for my bad English, with this kernel for lollipop tw viper4android work or not? Now i have flashed this kernel and boeffla apk

Hi, I've tested the kernel on Temasek and on a few different Rome.
Bliss Pop Rome, Fusion, Darko ... CM12 unofficial
It's like Horsti G says everything must be deleted from the kernel KT otherwise there are problems. but I have only the KT monitor at run without problems
Especially on the Temasek Rome had 2 people tested the kernel for quite some time without any problems.
Unfortunately the support for other roms is not possible because there are always errors and differences with other roms.
a Idde would make a thread for all other roms. since one could then afford support?

Ok i deactive boeffla sound setting, but where is a guide to install viper4android, because I have tried with more kernel on tw rom and don't work
For sure there are specialised threads for viper4android.
But wrong in this thread to discuss that...
Andi
Ok, i discute un this 3d because your kernel is correlate for me
