[Q] Stock TW 4.1.2 kernel - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi All,
I'm looking for a stock TouchWiz (TW) Kernel for JB 4.1.2.
No OC, no BLN, just a stock kernel.
I know they are included in several roms, but i'm trying to add it to a rom that doesn't offer a stock kernel version. I found one that was close, but for whatever reason it removed vibration control.
The OC versions (with and without) both remove the function of my capacative buttons.
So my question is... Does anyone have a stock TW 4.1.2, non OC kernel or if not, would a dev be so kind as to rip it and make one available?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

the only thing I can think of which may come close, but I don't know cause you didn't say what ROM you are running and they need to be compatible, might be a KERNEL from BLOWNFUZE. it is 4.1.2 made for BIGFAU and his BLACK JELLY. I was trying to compare what it has and what you dont want. maybe you should look for yourself, you can find it on p.115 of AOKP ROM thread.
might be as close as you can get without finding some one to tear their work apart for a single request. PHASE KERNEL would be the only other I know of, but it has OC/UV.
unless there is something I don't know about, which IS possible as unfortunately I dont know everything.
good luck
whatever you try, make a back up first buddy

The rom I'm running is [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0 but my intention was just to have the kernel as a standalone option for those that just want the stock kernel.
The problem I'm having with the OC kernels (Fuze and Da_G) is that the capacitive lights are not working with them. Fuze's works for for BLN, but i'm not using BLN. Functionally, both of those kernels are super fast and I have no issues with stability or performance.
For now, I'm ok with living without it as it's a nice to have and not a need so I respect your opinion in being the only one to request such a kernel. My sole thought was just to have it as an option for those that don't need/want OC and are fine with stock functionality for the kernel.
I didn't think AOKP kernels could be used with TW roms, am I mistaken in that?

that is true, but as I said and as BLOWNFUZE states in his post, he designed it for BIGFAU and his ROM. its sounds and looks as if ANTHONY has provided an option too. his is the PHASE KERNEL though isn't it ? that's why I went back and edited my original for you to make back up, whatever you do.
let us know what you try and if it works, others may be curious.

I posted a link to a TW Stock rom that was ripped from BlackJelly by Anthony(Stock_TW_4.1.2.zip), Isn't that what you wanted? I haven't tried it as I am running the Fuse Kernel with [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0

Yeah, I realized the BlownFuze was meant for BlackJelly and it works just fine with the ROM I'm using. The [ROM][4.1.2][Padawan-Kang] Prophylactic 1.0 uses the Da_G version 4 which has a slow charge issue, that's why I reverted to v3 which doesn't have the slow charge issue. Da_G is working on that, but even with that Kernel the capacitive buttons don't light up so in that regard, they are both great kernels that OC, and are stable, but don't enable the capacitve so they're in the same boat for me.
The phase kernel I need to try again to verify that the capacitive buttons don't light up, but if memory serves, it only works fluidly with smartass V2 as the governor. Again though, with the capactive issue, it's in the boat with the other OC roms.
Those were the only Kernels (one exception that I'll note in response to the next post) for 4.1.2 TW that I was able to locate which lead me to the post. I certainly have headed your advice regarding a backup and I have 2 just in case .
As I said, it's a nice to have, not a requirement. I'll update this if anything changes.

Yeah, I tried that one as Anthony linked it in the thread, but it removed vibration for me and I ended up missing several notifications during work hours because of it.
Otherwise, it worked just fine in terms of capacitive buttons lighting up. You're welcome to try it and confirm my findings.

my bad GPFERROR. good eye in finding that

I had a nandroid of the stock 4.1.2 ROM so I just went into TWRP and restored only the boot image from the stock ROM which gave me the stock kernel. Everything is working fine.

i have been running phase kernel on stock rooted 4.1.2 for months and have never had issue with lights not working. are you sure its not a rom issue. and the obvious did you check to make sure touch key lights are not turned off?

****EDIT**** Confirmed that it's not a kernel issue.
Thanks for this info, I suppose I didn't think about it being a ROM issue that would impact the lights. I have double and triple checked that setting toggeled it off/on and tried each one of the options with each kernel.
I guess I just assumed it was the kernel.
Any idea what in the ROM controls that? I'll reply in the original thread to see if we can figure that out.
Thanks very much for confirmation that it's not the phase kernel that' causing the touch key lights issue.

Gingerbread Rom and Kernels..

This is more of a general suggestion to those making the TB GB roms and adding the kernel to them or thinking about it..
Since it would appear reading through the posts and trying out the kernel for myself, I have found that the current GB kernel just gives my phone fits and it appears that other's have the same issue. I know it works for some, wish mine did. But can we get or keep the GB Roms separate from the kernel for a bit?
My phone runs GB fine without the kernel, and it sounds like it runs fine for others as well, since the kernel appears to add issues, it makes it hard to try out Roms that have the kernel included.
Its just a suggestion and at least at some point down the road I (or we) could try the kernel(s) as it matures more. And for those that the kernel works on, they can use it..
Thanks!
If your talking about random reboots just let it throw a few, every time I change a GB kernel I get a few, then after that it's totally fine.
Me too. Mine usually reboots a few times right after I install and then just works.

I don't quite get what you're saying. Every rom has a kernel. It's basically what allows the software to communicate with the hardware. You can't take the kernel out of a rom or you don't have a complete functional operating system.
You need to remember that the leak was a test version, kind of like a cyanogenmod nightly. So things are going to be broken. They will fix them over time, especially as new leaks emerge.
In the meantime, if you are having problems, just go back to froyo for now. It's fast and fully functional. Gingerbread will be unleashed with ALL of it's greatness soon enough. Then we'll be anxiously awaiting ice cream sandwich

He means including the modified kernel in the ROMs, and rather having users flash the modified version optionally. I think it is a valid point, and the kernel is something that is unrelated to the official release of Gingerbread. New kernels will come and the current ones are being worked on. What you may want to try is going into console and using speedtweak.sh to up the voltage if you are having reboot problems.
I know it gets hard to answer every question with a meaningless philosophical argument invalidating the question itself, but then again the forum has a minimum post count.

Exactly, I have no problem running the default kernel that comes with GB Gingerjane 1.2 Rom as their is another kernel to possibly fix camera issues and they are separate downloads. Once I load that kernel I start having all kinds of problems, I restore my backup and all is good. I have seen some posts that others run into a similar issue. I thought it would just be good to keep them separate right now if possible. Its possible that some of the other GB Roms would work too, but I have the same issue with those and they include the new kernel as well for camera fix. So I have assume (I know bad word) that the common issue with mine and possibly others just could be that kernel for whatever reason.

Most stable ROM for newbie?

Hey,
Just got this phone, and I rooted and unlocked it.
Now want to install the most stable rom there is, for example on Samsung Vibrant the stable ROM was Bionix......
Is there something like that for SGS2?
By stable, I mean everything work just like stock....
Thanks.

They all pretty much work like stock(except cm7/miui), they just differ by themes and kernels, try a couple of them because everyone is going to recommend different ones.
This is the first phone ive had that didnt need a custom rom. Big ups to Samsung for doing what others cant do. Theres only 2 custom roms CM and MIUI and the rest have tacky themes throughout them. Just like the poster above, grab a stock rom, root it, remove any apps you dont want.
Just stay away from experimental builds and betas, and you should be fine.

Great advice. I am on 2.3.3 now KG2, whats the stable latest stock rom out there (preferable deoxed as i do not want useless apps)? As I heard some of the latest stock rom do not perform well.....?
For a newbie, I would advise to just stay with the stock rom. This phone is already a beast in its stock form and you don't really gain alot from all the custom ROMs and kernels, unlike the SGS1.
can I install Villianrom? is that stock rom with just useless stuff removed?
I don't think deodexed is gonna give any better performance. I'm thinking the other way around.
Anyway I recommend stock KI3 or above and root using cfroot from chainfire.
Then use titanium backup to freeze any bloatware. There are lists around. Just posted one myself. Too long to do again.
Use jkay mods for odexed roms from theme section. Great stuff.
3rd party (market) apps like Launchers, sms, dialers, contacts, etc etc etc can be themed to change look and feel.
Have fun.

AFAIK, VillainROM is basically rooted stock + (standard) Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel + VRTweaks, which gives you the option to modify a number of things. I've been using it since version 3.0, and very happy with it.
Why not use the stock ROM then? You have one condition for your pick: you want the most stable ROM. Use the stock Samsung ROM. But then you add "by stable you mean everything works like stock" ... but not stock? What? What do you want?
Usually they want better battery life, and maybe some optimization and tweaks. Any more would fry a noobs brain.
Start talking about kernels and they'll wonder why you're introducing corn into the conversation.

try the hyperdroid
there are ONLY two things i like about custom roms
1. they removed the google voice thing
when double clicking the home button it starts an app
the thing is there is a home lag with that process
its removed in most custom roms (villain roms have something called VRtweaks) really nice stuff
2.increased sensitivity
no idea why samsung implemented this
custom roms that have this feature are snappier
currently running Ki8 with speedmod
i used Cognition 1.6 and have always used it before + black android (amazing)
only reason i switched is because he removed RTL support
using stock Ki8 with speedmod

[Q] aokp vs cm9

I'm currently running cm7.1, and really love it. I'm also really curious about trying out the ics roms and don't know which one to try. has anyone run both? which one did you like most and why? also, if I do a nandroid backup, is that the same as a windows image backup? ...meaning I can reinstall cm7 and glitch kernel, then flash my nandroid backup and be right where I was before I changed anything?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Yes you can restore a nandroid like you said as long as you are on the same ROM.
This is kind of an opinion, but I prefer Teamhacksung, as it is clean and bug-free.
ok cool. sorry about being in the wrong forum at first. so one for team hacksung, anyone else? I just want opinions as I don't think I have the time to try all the ics roms right now
aokp is by far the most solid ICS rom. its more how cyanogen use to be....lots of options to customise. THS cm9 is vanilla, meaning barebones.

This subject is opinionated and the OP should install both for a day to determine what he likes better.
Personally I used AOKP for the last six months, Yesterday I switched to CM9 experimental Linaro Build.. In my views way better than aokp..

Why?
i have the infuse but i started off using aokp switched to cm9 its been about a month.. goin back 2 aokp as of now cm9 isnt like cm7, i like tweaking and customizing as much as possible and i love the navigation bar aokp has..
Ok cool I think I'm about ready to try some out. One last question, I keep seeing things about how it's not easy to got back to cm7 from ics? Can someone give me some insight on this incase I don't like ics? Something with the different file types? I also want to keep my eh03 radio if I do end up going back to cm7
I'm now a little confused, after reading the guide for installing ROMS, in particular the ICS ones, arent all the ICS Roms based on what is stated- MTD CM9? So is there a difference aokp vs cm9? I guess what would be the large differnces between any two for example? Different kernels?

well i got impatient and went ahead and did it lol. i went with aokp 40.1 and devil kernel .79. the first try was a disaster, what seemed to work went straight to crash and reboot when waking from the lockscreen. i thought it was my oc i was messing with so i turned it back to stock volts and frequencies. low and behold it did it again but this time would not boot up, would not flash anything from recovery, would not format anything from recovery, it was totally bricked. i even tried reflashing cwm though odin and it was a no go.
finally after a few hrs of gathing info, i flashed the stock froyo rom and it unbricked it and i tried aokp again. this time i used aokp build 40, and devil kernel v.72 and everything is beautiful and works perfect, rock solid stability with 1200mhz multiplier oc, 110% fsb oc on liveoc totaling 1362mhz i think. the ics launchers suck and are laggy for me, i dunno why but go launcher is smoooootthhh and so is everything else on the phone. i cant find anything that doesnt work, im not regretting this or looking back at all, thanks a bunch for the help guys. im also pretty sure its snappier and quicker than cm7.2 was for me on my 1.3ghz overclock and glitch 13.1

ive seen it but was a little wary of it lol. for those wondering and addicted to voodoo color... at first i was worried i would loose the deep color and gamma control that i have with voodoo color, but the device color options do a really good job with it and there is a gamma control and it works great, no washed out colors or anything of that nature. im pretty hardcore on my vivid colors so i have the gamma maxed out minus a tad of green but it looks great.. to me.
for the guy who originally mention v0.85, so far its working great, cleared cache, dalvik, and ran ultimate kernel cleaning script then installed and it seems to be running great. the only thing now is the long term stability test, over a week ive had zero freezes FCs, or any issues with .72, i hope i can get this with .85. it seems a little snappier and nandroid is working again. thanks a bunch for the link, a few hours of searching for it and google still didnt help me. ill get back to everyone on the stability of it for me, running 110% fsb oc on nstools and slightly undervolted. im sure theres a ton of info already on other threads but ill still report back. thanks guys
edit: im still having issues with bln, is there a quick fix with it? it worked right away with my botched install of 40.1 and .79 kernel, witch was completely unstable, but now on 40, and .85 its still not working, any ideas? also on first boot from cold soft keys were unresponsive but seem to be working now. im not complaining as i know there are newer versions of the devil kernel but im trying to find a very good balance of functionality and stability.

what kernel should I choose?

What kernel do you guys like to use with jelly beans or any ROM for that matter?... I dont really know what the differences or have the time to try them all out so ive been using the stock kernel. If anyone could share shed some light on this for me that would be great. Thanks a lot!

Kernels are kind of limited in this phone's development, but very high quality. I would say it depends on preference. I have tried them all, perseus is a kernel that hasn't seen an update for a while, but is one of the only 2 ExFat kernels that allows for Overclocking to 1.8ghz. PBJ is another just like it by Imnuts that doesn't feature overclocking but Exfat as well. Devil Kernel is a kernel that allows you to flash it onto either an AOSP or a samsung touchwiz rom, so its very useful and allows for audio increasing and overclocking to 2ghz stable. To prevent this thread from getting locked on biased favoritism, Every kernel that is available is good, some have stopped development, and some get it every day or time its needed, try a few and see what you like.

What Kernel should I use?

Hello,
I couldn't find anything too specific on this so I thought I'd ask here.
I understand the nature of a kernel, and how it regulates the way in which applications interact with the hardware of the device. I also understand that some kernels may offer more features than others.
I was installing BeansTown's Rom for the S4, and when prompted to install a kernel, I realized that I honestly had no idea which one would work best for me. I have 3 options with this ROM - Stock Beans Kernel, Faux Mainline Kernel and KT Kernel. I started googling and only found some info on the KT Kernel without much luck on the other two. I also discovered that there are other kernel options for the Galaxy S4 which can be changed after the ROM has been installed.
I guess my question is, what types of features do these kernels offer and are what are some of the advantages of using one over the other? I don't plan on keeping the stock Samsung kernel because I'm sure there are other benefits to using the 3rd party ones, but I have no idea which one I should pick, or where I can find out more information.
Or, if there's a link to a resource I missed that would answer these questions?
Thanks guys!

Hello,
I couldn't find anything too specific on this so I thought I'd ask here.
I understand the nature of a kernel, and how it regulates the way in which applications interact with the hardware of the device. I also understand that some kernels may offer more features than others.
I was installing BeansTown's Rom for the S4, and when prompted to install a kernel, I realized that I honestly had no idea which one would work best for me. I have 3 options with this ROM - Stock Beans Kernel, Faux Mainline Kernel and KT Kernel. I started googling and only found some info on the KT Kernel without much luck on the other two. I also discovered that there are other kernel options for the Galaxy S4 which can be changed after the ROM has been installed.
I guess my question is, what types of features do these kernels offer and are what are some of the advantages of using one over the other? I don't plan on keeping the stock Samsung kernel because I'm sure there are other benefits to using the 3rd party ones, but I have no idea which one I should pick, or where I can find out more information.
Or, if there's a link to a resource I missed that would answer these questions?
Thanks guys!

I'm using KT's kernel and find it very good. I will provide a link that will help you set it up. I'm using the nightmare to remember settings and I'm getting killer battery life and great performance!

Go over to original development. There are 3 threads for kernels there. There are versions for touch wiz and AOSP 4.2.2. As well As 4.3. Each have their followers. Honestly they are all 3 very good. Try them all and see what works best for you.
Then if you run me7 based roms, I believe the elite kernel is the only one That have the smart features working correctly. But it has an issue that you can't charge the phone with it off. Have to do a battery pull to get it turned on again.
I will say that ktoonsez kernel has a nice app built in to tweak settings. Also a link in the op to a guy who keeps up with his kernels so he has all old versions also some pre-configured settings for the kernel you can download and apply.

Try different ones and see which you like most. IMO none of the custom kernels hold a candle to stock. Its well balanced between excellent battery life and great performance and its rock solid stable.

Thanks guys! I've tried KT Kernel and I may stick with that. But I'll double check in original development - I must have missed the threads there!
