This kernel is the result of a study aimed at achieving a balance between performance, efficiency in resource consumption and stability of use.
In any case I do not have the presumption to say that I reached the goal, for two reasons: it is still a project work - in - progress and secondly keep in mind that I am simply a person with a minimum of experience that attempts to understand how does a linux kernel and above all trying to figure out what are the implications of the introduction of a change compared to another.
The latest builds from are intended to use with any Samsung JellyBean 4.3 rom (stock or custom), so please see full details on download section in this post to avoid confusion, thanks.
Here is the complete features set at the actual date build,
- ONLY for Samsung 4.3 JB rom
- Based on latest kernel sources from OSRC n7100-update3
- Linux kernel version 3.0.101
- LZMA compression for zImage and initrd.img
- CPU Boost driver
- Gentle Fair Sleepers disabled from kernel code
- SELinux state is disabled
WARNING: in case you want to switch to a different kernel that lead to SELinux permissive or enforcing mode you MUST reflash your rom entirely and then flash a different kernel. SELinux needs to boot on a labeled system: until you run a disabled selinux kernel labeling is NOT present and system will refuse to work unless you perform a labeling again.
Be aware.
- Ported almost all the features from old 4.1.2 kernel:
1. Overclock up to 1920 mhz
2. Undervolt
3. GPU control - undervolt and overclock
4. Many optimizations
5. Fade led notification
6. TouchWake with slide2wake feature (timeout 0)
7. zzmoove, pegasusQ, LulzactiveQ and others governors
8. Sio, row, zen, cfq, deadline (tweaked) and noop schedulers
9. Proportional rate reduction for TCP congestion
10. Disabled many logs
11. Android logger as module
12. Frandom built-in
13. Dynamic file system synch
14. Boeffla sound engine
15. Zipallign optional feature
15. Post-init tweaks
16. Init.d full support with busybox run parts
- Rewritten all the scripts to use SpeedWizz Manager app to configure almost every feature of the kernel, enjoy!
Known issues:
- Touchwake, especially the slide2wake feature, is not working properly: sometimes device maybe un-responsive
TO DO: Add a proper custom bootanimation support and increase kernel stability.

INSTALLATION
Download kernel as zip archive and put in recovery. Reboot in recovery and wipe your cache. If you are switching trough kernel compiled with different toolchain a wipe dalvik-cache is also suggested. Flash kernel and reboot.
If you are using Odin (mobile or desktop) than download kernel as TAR archive. Reboot in recovery once time to wipe cache and (optional) dalvik-cache. Turn yor phone off and rebbot in download mode. Attach usb port to a PC (make sure you have installed proper drivers) and open Odin program as administrator: connect phone to usb cable and wait for communication port initializing. Now select from PDA tab the TAR file with the kernel and click on start. Wait for the process until it ends and when your phone reboot de-tach usb cable. Enjoy!

HOW TO USE
To configure kernel parameters you can use SpeedWizz Manager inlcuded application. This app is based on the original script manager written by HMCarbide (thanks for let me use).
After flashing the kernel in /res/scripts (on the root of the ramdisk) will be stored many scripts that, when selected using the app, will be loaded in init.d folder and will be executed instantly. For each option selected corresponds a script. This is a work in progress, and in future will be added many more option to let configure the kernel for almost all the supported features.
NOTE1: The options selected will be operational ALSO at each reboot. If you accidentally have enabled some weird option (too many low voltages for example) to make your device boot properly you may need to reset the init.d folder and remove all scripts from here. JUST reflash the kernel using RECOVERY: in updater-script there is a command that will remove totally init.d folder and his contents.
At next boot, kernel will create a new folder.
NOTE2: To enable logcat just run speedwizz manager application and hit the check box related. Reboot and use logcat normally. To disable open application and deselect that option: at next boot logcat is disabled (this is the default setting).
NOTE3: Kernel comes with autoroot. So if you don't care of counter increments you can flash this on top of a stock rom to obtain root and busybox. On the other side, if your phone is already rooted or have busybox or both, the root process is bypassed leaving untouched the situation.
To disable root (for example to use SkyGo application or similar) just create an empty file called
Code:
noroot
in your sdcard and reboot. At next boot kernel will remove root feature TOTALLY. To re-enable root just delete this file (of course you can use stock file manager to do this, no root needed ) and reboot again. This feature is currently unavailable

SpeedWizz kernel 09/30
Changelogs from version 09/24
- tmpfs: fix mempolicy object leaks
Patched mm/shmem.c to avoid several memory leaks caused by mpol allocated memory, errors parsing remount options will leaked mpol and multiple mpol per mount leak mpol. Credits as per related commit. Follow the link on description.
- mach-exynos: cpuidle-exynos4: set logging default to disabled
Trying a proper way to optimize kernel resources usage. From gokhan moral source tree.
- power: reduce regulator initializations to regulator minima
With this modification we now use more undervolt (less voltage level) for Gpu and running stable.
Before applying this patch, I can't use even -25 Mv. Now i can reach *a stable -75 Mv without crash neither graphics glitches.
Anyway, at the moment, *the undervolt scripts in ramdisk are the same of the previous release.
- cpupower: update the cpu_power according to cpu load
When the lowest frequencies are used, we are in a light load use case and we increase the cpu capacity to keep these light tasks on CPU0. This patch was originally used by AndreiLux in his Perseus, and i think it could be implemented to reach a better balance between performances and battery life.
- Correctly applied the screen sharpness to our hardware
- Moving boot partitions to probe
This should grant Triangle Away support, need to be tested by others than me.
- Added fast charge - thanks Yank555-lu
With this modification we now should, i repeat SHOULD, be able to use the same power output for both A/C and USB charging case. And also we should be able to set our custom power level for both.
Default is disabled, you can use speedwizz manager to set things as desired.*
PLEASE IGNORE THE OUTPUT PRINTED BY TRICKSTERMOD, i will investigate why it show an ENABLED message despite the real state of the sysfs interface.
Also you should know that for your safety i deliberately omitted the option to enable FAILSAFE: It can be used to *allow anything up to 2.1A to be used as AC / USB custom current. The sysfs interface is there but there isn't a script to manage this option because i think it's too dangerous for your data. Use it at your own risk.
- Linux 3.0.74
- RAMDISK: Corrected almost all scripts to let show the coerent increasing order as per choice.
- RAMDISK: fixed the scripts for sched_mc_pwersavings, now will echoes the correct values.
- RAMDISK: simplified the GPU overclock scripts removing the frequencies steps from description choiche menu (i noticed overlapp between values). Now you will see only Low, Medium, High, High+, High++.*
- RAMDISK: Added the related scripts for all the new features.
- RAMDISK: Made the Zipallign feature as optional. Use the speedwizz manager to manage the feature.
- RAMDISK: removed the option for manage the gentle_fair_sleepers, as this debug feature is totally removed since 24/09 release, sorry for the inconvenience.

speedwizz kernel 09/24
changelogs from version 09/17
- enabled hardfloat and neon kernel support
we have an arm v7 architecture machine, so i think it's better to unleash his power, to gain optimum performances;
- sched/nohz: Rewrite, fix and add more accurate load-avg computation
- updated linaro toolchain to 4.7.4.
- enabled veno tcp congestion and set as default. Now you have three kind: Veno, reno and cubic.
- linux 3.0.70
- rwsem: Tons of optimizations. Read/write semaphores are very important in linux kernel and give those the correct attention can give best overall performance. To gain more details on what i introduced (patches are from other developers) give a sneakpeak to my github.
- lib/memcopy: Use glibc version.
Glibc of linux memcpy and memmove are way better than the standard one. Pure efficience.
- asynchronous i/o latency: Removed the plug from do_io_submit, to gain improvement on i/o latency
- cpu-supported unaligned accesses: Enabled one of the critical performance feature of our arm v7.
- input: Send events one packet at a time. On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency can be very high. And trasferring those data after accumulating in a frame can reduce the latency a lot.
- dynamic fsync: Many fixes and improvements from latest faux123's commits. Updated to version 1.2.
- mali: Gpu control: Introduced voltage and clock control sysfs interface, major credits to andreilux and simone201;
- mali: Reduce utilization sampling timeout. Reduced the time needed by the kernel to make computation on mali usage.
- let the asv settings be applied at init process, during boot.
- added more gpu frequencies. Also restored the default steps configuration and modified the related asv tables.
- disabled haptic debug
- enabled exfat. Those are the new samsung opensource drivers for exfat. No performance or efficency loss, despite few debug features enabled on kernel configuration.
Many thanks to my friends loudness79 and pluccio, for the beta testing.
- enabled sched_mc_powersavings support.
- ramdisk - rewritten all the scripts to let the application interface be more comprehensible and immediate. Also to avoid selecting more of one option for the same cathegory.
- ramdisk - added the new mali scripts to control gpu. Now we can select various level of overclock and also we can select different sets of voltage to be applied for all 5 gpu steps. Voltage settings are dynamic: No need to re-apply after frequency modifications. Too high clock and too low voltages can give instability. You've been warned
- ramdisk - added new script to manage the sched_mc_power savings. Default seto to 0 (disabled)

I tried this kernel on many sammy based roms and stock dmg1. Finally my device found his ideal companion. It's an amazing work that allow you to build your personal kernel as a perfectly sewn dress.
Do you search for crazy performances without burn your battery? You got it
Fancy a very battery friendly setting without freeze, sod or lags? Got it too.
Do you need exfat support? Checked
Do you want to try something new done with solid skills and common sense? Try it NOW
All these stuffs (and many others, look at the changelogs or github) plus an incredibile stability make this kernel maybe the best one i tried on my noteII.
+++++ highly recommended ++++
With latest build (24/9) i notice a huge improvement in terms of smoothness, responsiveness and speed, with my usual settings (i'm a fan of performances, i love to fly ), but also with a more battery friendly setting...now let's see battery behaviour. Btw good update.
Great great job man thanks for your work and keep it up!!!
:thumbup:
There is only one word for you Umberto.... Respect!
And big thanks to the oyster team
great work!thanks!
PS
could you add screen color tweak support?

Thanks for the kernel ... looks pretty awesome so far :good:
I like the new splashscreen pretty much - makes the phone more individual than normal Note :good:
I don´t want to ask for more features, don´t get me wrong. If it is possible will there be the possibility in future versions to support triangle away. So the counter will be displayed and triangle will reset it on every boot
Kepp up the good work!

ZRAM USAGE:
As stated in changelogs since the 4.2 stable version this driver is activated by default. To see how it's running you can use adb or terminal emulator: type
Code:
free
and you'll see swap paging.
To deactivate at next boot: you need a root explorer (i suggest ES File manager, free on playstore) and create a new file called ".noswap" in system folder, reboot and zram will not longer work. To reactivate delete the file above and reboot again.

I am not responsible for damage caused by flash the kernel or to damage caused by YOUR negligence in performing editing operations of the terminal.
This kernel, although based on the samsung official sources, it is not an official binary and as such will be recognized by bootloader: that means by installing it you have lost your warranty.
We are adults and vaccinated and are conscious of what we do, if you're not or you have any doubt, DO NOT flashate do this nor any other kernel.

That is the history of speedwizz kernel, as well as to help out because reading a changelog is always good thing, in this case serves as a reminder to me ...
I started with a good base kernel (SpeedMod for the hardcore) but virtually stripped of all the features we are used to, even the most simple (eg bootanimation) .
I can guarantee that for a noob like me has been (and will continue to be) a tough battle ....... Huge thanks to all the developers, i am learning so much from you.
Changelog Latest version 4.2 stable build
(from version 4.1 beta2)
- New configuration file: speedwizz_defconfig
totally abandoned def_config derived from SpeedMod, the kernel continues on its path already since several versions before this
- Updated the cross-compiler to Linaro Toolchain 4.7 (08-2012)
The result is a general optimization of the code which results in less consumption of resources and greater stability.
Seeing is believing.
- This build fixes several compilation warnings and for several I mean about thirty
the warning message is a message from the compiler, it is not a fatal error (in fact, the compilation went fine) and if it's about an uninitialized function can sometimes affect the stability of a program (the kernel is a set of programs written mostly in C language) .
Most of the warnings that have at compile time are caused by variables or functions not used.
Obviously, the biggest advantage in NOT have this kind of warnings is that less code "dead" is inside a kernel than fewer resources will use the kernel to perform their tasks and the kernel will be more powerful in terms of fluidity and stability.
In any case i will consider a warning as a bug (generally speaking) even if minor, or even if it is not perceptible by the user.
- Added NSTools
You can use this app to configure all the parameters that are managed by the user, OC, UV, BLN, startup scripts, etc. ..
- Improved support to init.d
Now you will create a special folder init.d if it is not present in the rom (as in the case of the stock rom), if it exists this will not be touched and will be activated only support to run parts.
- Cleaned up some scripts in the initramfs
many things were unnecessary and linked to the use of extweaks (since the initramfs kernel are derived from Siyah kernel), which as you know is not supported by the kernel
- Added support to form Zram and Swaps
Enabled by default but can be disabled by the user through simple instructions.
The use of zram is to use a portion of RAM allocated compressed in a single device, in the specific case of this kernel with a capacity of 300mb and allocated in the ram itself, with a compression ratio of about 50%, for a total of about a gig of ram total between real and tablet.
The main advantage consists in maintaining applications in cache (non-active) for a period longer than normal, with a consequent advantage in the experience multitasking.

Changelog Latest version 4.1 beta2
(from version 4.0)
- Improved support for the following categories of Rom (this list includes only those in which the kernel has been tested for a long time, I suggest you proceed with caution, however, since it is a beta version)
1. ICS 4.0.4 Samsung
2. ICS 4.0.4 AOSP (CyanogenMod 9 - AOKP)
3. ICS 4.0.4 MIUI
4. JellyBean 4.1.1
All credits for this to Gokhanmoral, without his initramfs this was not possible!
- Fixed the autorotation bug on AOSP roms
- Modified (and fixed) the install script that caused trouble (severe) at boot: the ROM AOSP did not install the root of it (fortunately do not need it), it cwm manager.apk and even libraries for the BLN
- Fixed the driver cypress-touchkey.c for the proper functioning key illumination touch with AOSP rom and its function BLN.
- Fixed some warnings from the cross compiler

Too good this new kernel.
Performing the test since launch, super stable and battery consumption above average.
I just have a question, what is the best program to control compatible kernel.
I used Voltage control, but would like to use some other better if any??
Thanks Umberto

OMG! I have started to cry reading this post, FINALLY someone brave enough to give this kernel a shot! Well done bro! Enjoy....
Ehm, seriusly, if you want you can use Nstools as well (and better): can control all the parameters that kernel provide plus it is a good alternative to BLN pro (to set the lost call service when enabled BLN)
Try and report, please
Ps.: you are welcome, my friend..

I'll test as soon as possible and already put the result and the final considerations, rsr.
Umberto, I noticed something in your kernel, it is not compatible with the application Away Triangle, because I tried to use the application with the same Kernel and does not work.
Now I do not know if it's the version of the kernel, or the Triangle Away works only with Syah Kernel.
I'm going to this friend, I need to get back to business, I need to have a meeting with my team.
EDIT:
Although not as experienced as the settings and use the Kernel, the app is very good NSTOOL with the kernel.
A friend here in Brazil told me about Rom Toolbox, I will also try and see what happens, lol.

Ur kernel is best. I love it!

Mmmmhhhh... Strange.
Kernel should support TA. If not this mean that some of the most recent
Changes have breaked some thing.
I will investigate and repair asap.
For now you can use a compatible kernel like siyah, remove the triangle then if you want can flash speedwizz kernel using recovery, without increment counter and triangle.
Good life.

Just as I did, I put Syah, removed the triangle and went back to Speed kernel 4.0, because I'm loving the performance of this new kernel.
I enjoyed seeing you again on your project developed, even if not with the whole of your time, but I was happy.
hugs brother
A new version is available for test, kernel now support multi rom, but DOESN'T BOOT WITH JB 4.1.2 (due to new mali driver).
For details before you use it see the first page or my blog.
Enjoy.
I'll update.

Ok, after a few days i can say this kernel is very Good... No lag, no bug and dual works perfectly.
:thumbup:

... i will wait for the final version.
:fingers-crossed:
Umberto, as passed halloween??
I had some small problems after they installed their latest version of the kernel, but do not know if that has something related.
My kid wont play Monster Life in Mobile, and soon after I installed the latest version of Kernel, I have noticed that the game crashes, having to turn off the phone and reconnects it, it has something to do with the kernel??
If helps, now make cleaning cache and davik too, and still have this problem sometimes
Hugs and great weekend.

If your problem is only with monster life I can tell you it is not kernel related: I've noticed that the crashes are reported as well in market comments.
Just if you are in doubt try with some other kernel and report, I can't try because I don't have a WiFi connection to download and play with it (around 115 mb if I am right).

Info & Thanks
What you need to know before you use this kernel.
This kernel got Selinux Permissive state as it supports more apps like TiTaniumbackup.
Reverting back to a Selinux enforced Kernel (stock) is no longer a problem from Rev3.0 and up.
You can set Selinux Status with the included Synapse app
You want to know why this kernel comes with Selinux included, google for Selinux and search your answers.
AllCast mirror will not work as this is a Samsung thing and not opensource.
If this is a problem for you, don't use this kernel.
DISCONTINUED , A NEW THREAD WILL BE OPENED FOR THE NEW KERNEL SUPPORTING ONLY THE KITKAT BOOTLOADER.
NO JELLYBEAN BOOLTOADER SUPPORT, IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.
INSTALLATION
Take a full nandroid backup.
NO NEED TO BE ON ANY KITKAT BOOTLOADER (your wifi will work with this kernel)
YOU NEED TO BE ON A KITKAT TOUCHWIZ ROM.
Install with cwm
Thanks:
sidmoraes for pointing me to other kernel source that I could use as base, still had to change some stuff but this is better then waiting for samsung to release there source, if they ever will. (Finally Samsung released source)
Andreilux - Faux123 - Yank555.lu for kernel work

Never install a kernel that is not for your device, it will cause a hard brick.
Stock kernels can be found in the SphereKat folder of your device
The only good app to control this Kernel is the included SYNAPSE appExample of what synapse looks like,THIS IS JUST A EXAMPLE.
SphereEngine KERNEL Features
If you change nothing these are the following Features/optimisations you get compared to Stock:
SELINUX protection included but set at Permissive = No problems wit apps like Paragon and Titainium.
SELinux control with Synapse
S-Pen Alignment fixed
Default Speeds 200MHz-1600MHz
Activating Saving power will result into 200MHz-1100MHz.
GPU Overclocking thanks ZaneZam / DerTeufel / AndreiLux
GPU settings are:
Step0 54MHz = new Idle step = when in browser mode and no gaming this low GPU speed will help save power
Step1 266MHz
Step2 350MHz
Step3 533MHz = new speed foe step3 for better performance in drawing
Step4 700MHz = New OC speed for the better gaming performance
GPU settings are not editable and hard set in the kernel
Init.d support
ARCH-Power enabled
DynamicFSYNC = Use Terminal command or Trickster Mod app. = enabled by default.

S-pen alignment is fixed in the kernel and rom so you need both to have 100% accuracy.
This kernel will fix it for 95%. The other 5% is in the roms framework.
#########################################################
Note to all users:
Don't be a lurker, hit thanks as it took plenty of hours to build this.
Samsung didn't release the kernel source (not yet) so a lot of debugging was needed to fix problems like the sensors not reporting correctly.
This is the only thing I ask, hit thanks if this helps you.
It is free and enjoy it.

Edit:
About the lurkers,
Martin from this post isn't one as he is a donator and thanks hitter.
A example to you all.
I wanted that cleared out as I didn't want Martin to take that lurker thing personal.

Flashed and while it seems to be working fine for the most part, my CPU is constantly maxed out for some reason. I changed no settings or anything, and it was idling fine before flashing. I'm sure it might be something with my device, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case it's not. I'm going to mess around with some settings, see what I can do, and see if it changes.

Like you said, it could be something with your device, mine goes into deep sleep and it has gone as high as 90% deep sleep. Pretty amazing I would say and great job by @civato. Are you on pegasusq governor?

I was indeed using pegasusq. After trying multiple different governors and nothing changing (even stayed at 1600mhz on powersaving), I've decided to wipe my device entirely and start from scratch. No biggie. If I narrow it down to a specific app or device setting that was causing it, I'll post it so people are aware.
09/Jun/2014 First Public release Rev2.2
[*]Memory Leak fix cpu stats
[*]Memory Leak fix Kernel Ext4 & Power
zzmoove profile nr6.
I recommend not to use Powersave governor as is very buggy. Next release will it have removed as it useless.
Best governors are Pegasusq - Adaptive and zzmoove.
I am running it an am happy to report no issues. The only changes I made were to up my top cpu speed to 1.8gzh. All govs are at default. Thanks again. Can't wait to see what is next in the works for this tablet.

###Disclaimer###
Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible if your phone will be damaged, broken, bootlooping or detonating in a thermonuclear reaction.
YOU are choosing to make these modifications and accept the fact that something might go wrong.
Important / read before flash mandatory
This is the first stable SimplKernel build which is 5.1.1 based and unified. It only supports 5.1.1 and the listed variants. No other variants.
For W8: Seems that you can run 5.1.1, but no new bootloader. If you run 5.1.1 and this and have fingerprint on your Rom, the second boot won't work anymore and you'll need Odin. A Rom with removed Fingerprint may solve it, but I don't have a W8 and can't test or say for sure. Best is to wait for the new bootloader alltogether.
For all other variants: This should work on L/S/K, if/when they receive 5.1.1, but someone will need to confirm by flashing.
Same counts for I.
If you run 5.1.1 without the new bootloader, you will encounter the same issue described above for the W8. Same counts: Better wait for the new Bootloader.
Introduction
SimplKernel is developed by SimplTeam. We originate from the Note4 and have a long story of success there. Our builds are known for being close to stock, yet full of useful features and enhancements. The aim is to provide maximum performance and maximum batterylife. No compromises.
Features
# Based on latest G925FXXU2BOFJ
# Pre-Rooted
# Compiled with AARCH64-Android-4.8 toolchain - Kudos Google, this is one is awesome
# Replaced CPU_FREQ_RELATION_L with C for Interactive -> selects freq with min euclidean distance to target freq, should be more efficient
# MDNIE ColorControl
# VoltageControl (CPU, GPU, HPM, BUS)
# Underclocking by default
# Full Synapse Support
# SELinux mode set to Permissive
# Governors added: powersave, intellidemand, ondemand, bluactive and intelliactive

How to install
You need:
- A 5.1.1 based Rom and a supported variant (stock ROM counts)
- The 5.1.1 Bootloader. No support for problems you encounter without the new Bootloader.
Via recovery
You have to have a custom recovery like TWRP, Philz or CWM installed.
- Download the kernel
- Reboot to recovery
- A backup is always recommended
- Flash the zip file
- You're done! Reboot and enjoy.
Via Flashify
- Make sure that you are rooted.
- Download the zip and extract the boot.img
- Download the free app Flashify (Caution: Free Version only allows 3 flashes per day!)
- Grant Flashify Root permissions.
- In main screen, select Boot image and navigate to the previously extracted boot.img

If you apply Interactive or simplgov in Synapse, ALWAYS enable it for both clusters. Enabling it for only one will cause funny effects, perhaps even a solid chaos, batterydrain and other unpleasant things. You've been warned.

Nice! will test it on my w8! im on XtreStoLite 2.0 Odex without Fingerprint since my bootloader is still 5.0.2
Edit : confirmed second boot working without fingerprint on the rom!
working great on my 925F edge, with 5.1.1 bootloader and XtreStrolite rom <3
I looked at your github. What are the memory killer tweaks? I don't see anything that really seems to correlate to memory killer. Also, how did you disable OOM killer? From what I've seen, OOM is present but does nothing. I'm just asking for my own sanity

Oh, my changelog for this build is as confused as my current state of mind is. OOM is back and enabled in this build, it was disabled prior to building in the configuration.
And looked at the commit history, yes you do seem to be right about missing memory-killer patches.
Sorry, I haven't managed to get all the patches I used to run in yet. Something was blocking boot for all week, thats why 3 governors are still disabled.
Today was my graduation day, it's a bit turbulent.. Published today instead on next Monday/Tuesday since it only lacks some minor patches at the moment

OK, just making sure I'm not going crazy. I've spent months trying to figure Samsung's method of memory management out, my head has nearly exploded more times than I can count. I wouldn't waste your time with OOM or LMK stuff in the kernel. It does nothing. All of the memory management stuff is in the services.jar, and they're changing it in the next update. So the little bit I have figured out will be useless lol. Congrats on graduating too BTW
Does this kernel root also? I use one of the kernels that rooted 5.1.1 automatically and want to know if I will lose root by flashing this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Yeah, they work in mysterious ways that much is true. Otherwise disabling it should have solved it. Well, it didn't. At least I found a method to get new sourcecode within 15min after the firmware release.. They kind of rolled out the red carpet for me now.

Theoretically, yes. In reality I updated the ramdisk about 5min prior to uploading and couldn't test if it works. But I believe that it does

Interactive, it's greatly adapted to the clusters and twice as big as the "usual" old Interactive thanks to it. You can also give simplgov a shot, it's basically Interactive with some changes I wanted to try out
Just flashed the kernel lets see how it performs. Currently on the interactive governor. Can you give some insight into your simplgov governor? What does it compare to?

Guys,sorry for the stupid question....i m using XtreStoLite rom and i have a g 920F,the normal one.....can i flash this kernel?There is someone that is using with this kernel my same rom,and how it is?Tnx guys
Tnx @mythos234
This kernel as memory killer? Or all apps works fine in background?

I know that this doesn't technically works for a minimal kernel but in the lollipop kernel they had added 500+ comits to improve battery maybe you could port some over

I try to configure my kernel so that you don't need to customize anything, so impulse with tripndroid (default) is pretty good.

Oh new kernel have to try it now!!
i have to say this kernels performance is really good.default settings performance is awesome.buttery smooth.about battery life have to test.thanks for this kernel dude.keep up the good work
I lost root after flash the kernel. Can I re-flash SuperSU?
UPDATE: reflash superSU and sharpening mod to get root again.
I forgot sharpening mod and got security error

no, it doesn't
Add kcal and a sound engine. Also I would reccommend you upload to AFH. Google drive is slow for me. Also once many start downloading the gdrive link might not work later on.
Edit: Flashed it running smoothly. No issues at all (Y)
Flashed it. It's fast, but my phone has insomnia and does not want to sleep.
Maybe due to this, it's a bit hot and battery hungry.
Will try to wipe caches again and report back.
Thanks!
As suggestions, I'd like to have another hotplug (msm) manager and Lionheart governor for the CPU, and maybe reduce gpu minimum speed to 27mhz.
congratulations on this magnificent kernel, could incorporate some overclock CPU and GPU, thanks
Enviado desde mi LG-D855 mediante Tapatalk
Im using this kernel for a day and so far everything is working fine and smooth, IMO maybe is better to keep kernel minimalistick and clean but wery well optimized or make 2 versions 1 tweaked with bunch of sheluders and governors and 1 simple and clean. Either way great job on this.
thanks for the update, im falling in love with this kernel.
I love this kernel too! Its more fluid than stock and battery seems same. Definetely you guys must give a shot.
Thank you for this awesome kernel! Performance is amazing with it and battery life too!
I've a problem, when i flash this kernel over solidkernel only the minimum core chosen is MSM_mpdecision is activated. If i set the minimum to 1, only one core is activated...

Unofficial DorimanX builds by Saber (formerly gsstudios)
The Background:
DorimanX development has stopped for a while now. I've been a long term dorimanx user, but I felt that a lot of features need to be implemented into the kernel. As of a result, I decided to make my own personal builds! Please note that I'm no way as good as the master himself, Dorimanx, but I try to implement features to the best of my abilities. Also, I'm not going to be a proper maintainer of dorimanx kernel, this is just what I've done in my spare time.
If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you need to reflash your current ROM to revert kernel.
The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve DorimanX kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR LOS14.1 BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
This kernel includes the following additional features over stock dorimanX kernel:
- CPU Governors: HYPER, Ondemand, pegasusQ, Intellidemand, neoX, darkness, nightmare, zzmoove, sleepy, conservative (Default: HYPER)
- IO Schedulers: ROW, Tripndroid, FIOPS, SIOPlus, BFQ, CFQ, Noop, ZEN, Deadline (Default: ZEN)
- TCP Algorithms: Cubic, Reno, BIC, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Veno, Scalable, Lp, Yeah, Illinois (Default: Westwood)
- Built with optimised Linaro 4.9 Toolchain
- Built-in Stweaks profiles updated (All profiles suit needs for most people now)
- Trim support (Be careful if you have brickbug affected chip!)
- Updated FPBug/Musicbug fix is already included in this kernel!
- BLN and BLNWW support
- Updated Linux Kernel version to 3.15.0 stable!
- Freezefix is already included in this kernel!
- Isorec support
- MDNIE mode and scenario tuning
- F2FS support
THINGS TO DO:
- Allow users to revert kernel back to stock with everything working
THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
- LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
- Useless CPU governors (such as Userspace)
- Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
- Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
- Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
- Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
- Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

Downloads
--STOP!!! IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ--
It is important that you make a backup before flashing this kernel. If you want to restore the original kernel found in your ROM, you need to restore from a backup or clean flash your ROM.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
Flashing instructions:
1. Download latest kernel build
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash kernel zip
4. Reboot
For TRIM users:
To use TRIM, you can download an app on the app store called trimmer or use terminal commands as directed in the troubleshooting guide.
Isorec (Isolated Recovery)
You can use either TWRP or CWM. It is important to note that the default CWM recovery has kernel specific options within the menus, so if you require to use them, be sure to flash the isorec disabler.
Download for isorec recoveries:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=47550
If you have a dualboot setup or if you want to set up dualboot, you should stay on StanTRC recovery. If you want to return to StanTRC recovery, flash the isorec disabler:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960682947
Forgot to download backup/older kernel/isorec disabler after flashing TWRP?
Go to download mode and flash a kernel .tar file OR wait until OS boots and copy required files to your phone

In order to tweak the kernel properly, you need to install stweaks from the apk linked here, or from the XDA downloads page
Troubleshooting
Q: Why flash your kernel? - For new users of DorimanX kernel
DorimanX kernel is an aftermarket kernel (or custom kernel) that is designed to allow users to tweak their phone at the kernel or near-hardware level side of things. In other words, users get more fine-grained control over their phone, this includes overclocking, underclocking, changing behavior of CPU/GPU etc. Adjusting such settings isn't for the faint-hearted since there is many things to understand, but you aren't required to understand all of the settings. Ultimately, if you want to improve your phone experience, try DorimanX kernel!
Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Beta builds will always have the latest features and should be fine to use as a daily driver. Stable builds have been thoroughly tested for issues, but are usually older than current builds. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.
Q: Which app should I use to tweak the kernel?
You should only use stweaks to tune DorimanX kernel.
Q: Can I use isorec recovery on DorimanX kernel?
A: Yes you can. All important information was covered in the OP already!
Q: Why should I flash your builds when the last 'real' unofficial build was v008?
A: If you don't want to enjoy awesome features that improve the experience of dorimanx kernel, then it doesn't worry me. Real or not, I don't build kernels to have bad battery life, bad stability and etc. This is my personal build of dorimanx kernel!
Q: Wifi doesn't work after I flash this kernel
A: There are several possible causes to this issue, there could be a problem with your:
- Partitions OR
- Permissions OR
- Gapps OR
- ROM OR
- Compatibility with your wifi hardware
Don't use a pit with modded preload! It will just cause issues with ROMs and Kernels. Use stock pit or use a pit with unmodded preload. Sometimes, the gapps package you flash somehow breaks compatibility with the kernel. You can fix this by flashing a different gapps (making sure to clean cache and dalvik). If you have permissions problem, you can fix this by repartitioning your internal sd card or by reflashing back to stock rom. Sometimes, the ROM doesn't fully support the wireless drivers in the kernel, this can be solved by flashing a different ROM or different kernel. But if your wifi hardware is not compatible (a way to tell this is when you have tried everything and failed), there is nothing you can do but reflash the rom or flash a different kernel.
Q: I came from a different custom kernel that used Stweaks, now the app has issues
A: Every time you come from a different custom kernel with stweaks support, make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache after install dorimanx kernel
Q: My battery life sucks after flashing this kernel!
A: Download and install Betterbatterystats and see what is the culprit to your problem. If it is kernel related, have you made sure you have wipe cache and dalvik and reset stweaks settings? If yes, it would be nice if you posted a logcat.
Q: How do I get a logcat for the kernel?
A: In stweaks, go to BUG-REPORT and tap on KERNEL-BUG.
Q: Why do I get bootloops with this kernel?
A: If you were on a working version on dorimanx before, there is probably something wrong with the installation. Sometimes, bootloops can occur due to corruption of the kernel zip file (usually from bad download) or from corrupted partitions.
Q: What do all of the settings mean? They are all confusing!
A: Please note that DorimanX kernel isn't for users who have just rooted their device. Before jumping into the custom kernel world, try playing around with other kernels first. Once you think you have some experience, read the stweaks beginners guide I made and then attempt to tweak the kernel using stweaks.
Q: How do I trim my partitions?
BEWARE: Make sure you have read all of the precautions before attempting to trim your partitions!
A: install the trimmer app from the playstore. App link . Check for all 3 partitions, and tap on run. grant root access. the 3 fstrim operations should be successful ("partition was trimmed" means success).
alternatively, instead of using trimmer you can run one of these commands (these are better because they also trim /preload):
# on the phone in the terminal app:
su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"
# on your PC if you are connected to the phone via adb:
adb shell su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"
reboot.

Q: My device is (hard) bricked after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you read all of the precautions before installing the kernel? You made the decision to flash the kernel and now you've stuffed up your phone.
Q: I get constant FCs after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you wiped your cache partition, dalvik cache and reset stweaks settings? If you've done all of these already, a logcat would be nice
Q: How do I use dual boot?
A: There are many guides on how to dual boot roms using dorimanx kernel. Just use the search function on XDA or GOOGLE it!
Q: What's a good combination for CPU governor and I/O scheduler?
A: Have a look at the default settings, they are optimised for our phone
However, here are some settings I recommend:
CPU Governor: HYPER/zzmoove/Darkness
I/O Scheduler: CFQ/BFQ/ZEN/Deadline/SIO
Q: Why does the screen turn blank after the dorimanx logo appears during the boot process?
A: If your kernel doesn't bootloop, but the screen remains blank, there is a good chance that the ROM that you've used uses an older version of GPU drivers (Mali). This kernel only support ROMs with Maliv3 support. If you flash this kernel on MaliV2 or MaliV1 only roms, you will get a blank screen after flashing. To fix this, flash to the kernel the corresponds to your mali driver version and you should get your display back.
Q: What is a TCP algorithm?
A: Congestion control strategies (or algorithms) are used by TCP, the data transmission protocol used by many Internet applications. The main goal of a TCP algorithm is to avoid sending more data than the network is capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion.
Q: What is a toolchain?
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

Q: What is Linaro?
Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces.

Q: Why not use XYZ toolchain?
Linaro toolchain is the only one I'm going to use. If you believe that XYZ toolchain is better, then you'd have to build my kernel yourself. I chose the toolchain that I like the most, and I've had positive experiences using Linaro.

First kernel build for LOS14.1 is up on AFH and github. Enjoy.
Firstly, sorry for the dupe threads. Internet was acting out and now I'll have to get the mods onto it
Also, expect bugs with this release. This is a really early build and I'm doing blind builds now.
Don't flash on any other ROM than LOS otherwise you will not receive support. This kernel is only designed for LOS.
No new features will be added because I don't use the S2 as daily driver, so I won't be able to test changes thoroughly.
Regards, Saber
Nice.
Hi @Saber
Thanks a lot for spending your spare time to work on this kernel.
I wish you the best!
Sent from my STAIRWAY using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Welcome back @Saber
EDIT: I am not able to get it work on latest LOS 14.1 build. May be something wrong on my side. Phone going back to galaxy s2 logo from dori kernel logo. This is happening in loop. Anyone???
Yeah this is cool. Maybe we can make S2 N-builds even better. :laugh:

Can you please detail your flashing procedure? Did you try reflashing the kernel?

I get it to work after too many tries and now again I am not able to boot.
*Wiped everything other than ext sdcard
*flashed rom and gapps
*flashed kernel zip
Also tried without gapps. Weird thing is that whenever I flash gapps it gives me alot of force closes. I tried 2 gapps packages and AICP but same problem occurs(without flashing kernel) that's why I thought may be something wrong on my side
Edit: I am using I9100g display panel can it be reason for my problem?? Anyways I attached dmesg.
Nice
Nice Kernel,Works fine on los14.1 and I also have overclocked up to 1.6 MHz but would not like to add 2.0 MHz in future updates?
And is it possible to add support to the kernel dt2w ?

If you mean 2,0GHz I doubt it.
I tried F2FS and it seems cache is okay but data makes android.phone process crash all the time. Not sure if it is LOS or kernel's fault.

What?? 2.0 Ghz is too much and also not safe. Even overclocking more than 1.4 Ghz is not good for our old device. I think we should limit cpu clock to 1.4Ghz max on this kernel for safety @saber.

This issue is actually kernel's fault as it also exists on my CM13 kernel. A reboot is a possible solution to solve this issue and it shouldn't reappear. I might pull some F2FS updates from the linux git to increase stability, however the only filesystem I recommend is ext4 for internal partitions.
Edit: I was thinking before about a kernel issue where after first flashing the kernel over stock LOS kernel, the phone process would crash where it can be solved by rebooting. Need more reports to see if its just F2FS or if its regardless of fs used.

2.0GHz? Not possible with our SOC. 1.6GHz is about the limits and only a lucky few are able to use this frequency. Any more and I'd suspect our tiny SOC go poof along with some bad electronic smoke.
dt2w is not optimised for our touch panel and as of a result, significant battery drainage will occur. It's the same story with sweep to wake, these features weren't even supposed to be possible with our device.

I've had a quick skim over the dmesg and couldn't find anything too substantial to be the root cause of the issue (may need to go through with a fine comb). Maybe logcat? How about marshmallow? Does the same behaviour occur there?

If I comment last lines in init.rc then rom boots fine
EDIT: @Saber, How can I take logs during s2 bootlogo to dorimanx kernel logo? I tried to take logcat using command 'adb logcat > log.txt' on linux but device is not getting detected.

With 2.0 GHz the CPU will explode
