Hello community,
for some time I have been trying to make perfomance friendly kernel and ROM. I obviously haven't missed JustArchi's discovery - O3 compiling flags. Although I was first sceptic, after some days of testing (and feedbacks from brave testers) I found out this is truly masterpiece. After adding some kernel tweaks, here is result - OptKernel. Read more...
Code:

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Features:
- Based on LX rebase branch, brings kernel to upstream (3.4.103) and includes various fixes.
- compiled with Linaro 4.7.4
- both ROM and kernel compiled with JustArchi's optimizations (*)
- overclocked up to 1.6 GHz, underclocked down to 24 MHz
- added Dynamic FSync by faux123
- 1024 KB read-ahead
- Dynamic dirty-page writeback by Christopher83
- Fast charge available (disabled by default)
- added FRandom module
- enabled Zsmalloc
- added governors (list in changelog)
- ability to undervolt separate frequencies via VDD interface
- lowered swappiness
- Optimized read/write semaphore
- Used glibc version of memcpy/memmove (much faster than original one)
- power_efficient workqueues
And of course all features of LegacyXperia as in 20141224 sources
BUGS:
Proximity sensor doesn't work most of the time

(*) except for /hardware/qcom/display-caf/libhwcomposer, because of compile errors.
Almost all features are detaily explained in Christopher83's thread (hit thanks to him)
NOTE:
- It is not mandatory to use OptKernel only with this ROM.
The only feature of the ROM are -O3 flags and 4.8 toolchain. All other features are implemented in the kernel.
You can use OptKernel with LX's 1224 build, just flash wifi modules (2rd post). Still, this ROM is really fast, worth a try
- Don't report issues on LX bugtracker if you do so.
- Don't ask for ETA!
I don't know when (if) I'll release! I won't respond, even worse, I'll report you!
- I am not a developer. Everything I've done was only about searching and cherry-picking general improvements.

FAQ:
Will you build it for <device>?
I have slow pc, so I can't make it for too many devices. You are free to build by yourself.
Why is ROM/kernel so big?
Because -O3 flags are taking additional hunks of data. More info at Archi's thread. Don't worry, it will install fine.
Can I use your ROM as a base?
Yeah, you're clear. Just add me to credits.
Will you add <governor/io_sched>?
I personally don't like too many governors, but if you want any, post it here.
Why aren't all those tweaks already in LX CM11?
Because they are experimental and maybe unstable. Mike wants to make stable builds for all.
My wifi is not working!
Flash modules (in Drive folder)
How can I help you?
1. Every problem you face report with logs.
2. If you have enough knowledge, help with improving code on Github.
3. If you want to donate, donate to Mike instead. Without him, this kernel wouldn't exist.

HOW TO BUILD
1. follow this guide up to "repo sync" (don't execute it)
2. Open /.repo/local_manifests/semc.xml (hidden, press Ctrl+H)
Find this line
<project name="LegacyXperia/android_kernel_semc_msm7x30" path="kernel/semc/msm7x30"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and change it to this
<project name="Vynikal/android_kernel_semc_msm7x30" path="kernel/semc/msm7x30" revision="OptKernel-rebase"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Now sync repositories (depends on your internet connection)
Code:
repo sync
4. Run this
Code:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/cm-11.0/updates.sh > ~/android/system/updates.sh
chmod a+x updates.sh
./updates.sh
And this
Code:
cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
5a. Download source.zip, unpack it to the root of your source and overwrite all.
5b. Run this, to give correct permissions to pngcrusher
Code:
chmod a+x build/tools/releasetools/pngcrusher
6a. Download SaberMod 4.8 toolchain and unpack them to /prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/
http://d-h.st/qsd
6b. For kernel toolchain, use a Linaro 4.7 toolchain (I use Christopher83's). Then put it to the folder above and rename to "arm-eabi-4.8"
7a. Build ROM (takes long time)
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast <your_device>
brunch <your_device>
7b. To build only kernel (much shorter)
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast <your_device>
make -j4 bootimage
8. Zip/kernel is in /out/target/product/<your_device> ready to install
If you found this guide wrong, got error or anything, write it down this thread.

Thanks. I will try.
Screenshoot pls.
So atlast finally you have released it
Bt does it have everything which is present in 0703 build....????
Cz 0703 build itself is very smooth... and with this...it would just fly
Sent from my WT19i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Awesome!!
431 MB RAM..impressivee..if there were something..like overclocking the RAM like overclocking CPU...these devs would possibly make 512 MB RAM incresint to 1 GB RAM haha... :silly:
Great rom by the way..blazing fast..but 1 problem,,,i always get bootloop whenever i try to switch to ART on clean install without any apps installed on internal...any possible solution for this?? just wanna try it with INT2EXT
1 problem with camera..whenever i take pic at night there is flash but..the final image is totally black with your rom..and whenever i stop recording the video camera force closes!
this bug wasn't on mikes 20140703 build!!..so fix this dude..
Just want to know what other things change in Rom itself other than kernel and archis optimization..
Any new script or mod
Because want to try kernel but just confused with flashed whole Build OR just kernel with july 3 CM11 build
(*) except for /hardware/qcom/display-caf/libhwcomposer, because of compile errors.
u post this
But it is really matter?
any issue because of this miss?
Downloading Now give u report back.
Thanks for awesome share Dev.
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------
One issue got after fresh install that
In Camera at the time video recording preview not shown its only stopped screen not showing anything but after recording complete the Output result gives nice video like CM11 only
What the wrong with preview Dev
I think its because of kernel
And also first boot RAM free is less than CM11
as i got 190MB in CM11 and here only 130MB
Posted both screen for RAM
Sent from my WT19i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
After ROM stable RAM also stable screen attached
Good to see that..
No issue with RAM management.

Allow others to build and share them
@Vynikal you say you won't make builds for more devices. But will you allow to others to compile roms and kernels with your changes and share them here? So that if someone would compile for mango. Then he would upload it and PM the link to you. Then you'd add the link to the OP. If this could be done, many-many users would be happy:victory:
EDIT: I see that you are Czech, sme susedia
Can someone please compile Mini Pro (Mango) kernel?
Mine only issue is new Theme manager not set the themes correctly basically the CM11 theme only
Need to restart device for correctly set BUT after second OR third reboot it again set to default:crying:
What the exact cause
Before that NO issues occurs with themes
Only working theme correctly till now is Atomic Green+ which is Basically CM10.2 theme with CM11 addons
HELP ME
As I said, all features are clearly performance stuff, small bugs are risk, but expected.
I don't know about themes, I only use Xperia Z2 theme, works fine for me.
About libhwcomposer - it is not important, just a note for devs that there is a bit, which needed old -Os flag.
About camcorder FC. I will look at it, but not much chance.
I have compiled for smultron, will upload today. Also for mango, but only kernel.
Sent from my WT19i using XDA Free mobile app
Smultron and mango added, have fun.
(mango only kernel)
Tried to download smultron build 2 times and both times got an error after 40/50MB of download.
EDIT: Tried it for the 3rd time but still no luck. I was able to download the kernel.

Why choose for CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an AOSP based rom, which is always compiled with the latest linaro toolchain. The kernel also is compiled with -O3 optimizations for better performance. It also gives you a great option of customization. Reasons to go for CarbonRom are:
- Compiled with Linaro, this will make your phone ultrafast and ultrasmooth
- AOSP based, s no bloatware or other stuff
- Great Customization options
- Nice look
- HALO
- ...
Current Version
CarbonRom 2.0 is still in early stages, it's Android 4.3, but not all features are implemented!
I won't manually search for all new features, just wait for an official 2.0 changelog when it is completed.
- Android 4.3
- HALO
- DSP Manager
- New battery icons
- stability and speed enhancements
- a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.
What is CarbonRom?
CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, @FXP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.

All Carbon downloads and further information such as features, changelog, and FAQ can be found here in the second post of this thread and in the download tab.
I'll continue building nightlies as much as possible.
Support
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our goo.im page linked above. It's new, but expanding fast. Just like us!
3) Ask a question here. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
Who is the Carbon maintainer for your device?
For you guys, Xperia developer is me only, Krabappel2548. I'm the only one working for Xperia devices, maybe I'll add more devices to my support list soon. Any donations are highly appreciated, I'll always use them for my development, to buy new devices

GPU OC
OVERCLOCKING GPU WILL REDUCE BATTERY LIFE!
you can overclock/underclock GPU manually via scripts/commands...
[ how to do this manually/script ]
To check current max clock of GPU clock use:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/fdb00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
To set GPU to particular frequency (overclock or underclock) use:
Code:
echo 533333000 > /sys/devices/fdb00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
available scaling frequencies are:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]600000000 - 600 MHz
[*]533333000 - 533 MHz
[*]450000000 - 450 MHz (DEFAULT)
[*]320000000 - 320 MHz
[*]200000000 - 200 MHz
[/LIST]
Voltage Control
All credits for this interface go to Faux123!
WARNING!
DO NOT USE TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW VOLTAGES, SLOWLY increase the voltage one notch at a time for a particular frequency and do stability/testing for few hours. once you have verified that you CPU chip can handle that voltage ONLY then "Set at boot"/Use init.d script
You can either use an APP (like IncrediControl) [others mentioned in OP] or use an init.d script to do the work...
to see current voltage table use:
Code:
[B]cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
to set voltage for a particular frequency:
Code:
[B]echo 1512000 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
will set 1512Mhz freq voltage at 1150mV
to reduce voltages for ALL frequencies:
Code:
[B]echo -25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
to increase voltages for ALL frequencies:
Code:
[B]echo +25000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels[/B]
Sound Control
Kernel level Sound Control
This feature has been added by faux123 himself!
The sources for this feature are covered under GPL and are released along with my kernel sources at my GITHUB repo.
[ WARNING ]
high volume can damage hearing!
Krabappel2548, DooMLoRD or faux123 are not to be held responsible if this damages ur headphones/speakers/etc
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are two ways to use this interface.
manual control through sysfs interface
paid app (FauxSound Audio/Sound Control)
How to use the app FauxSound Audio/Sound Control is pretty self explanatory so I will write on how to control using the sysfs interface...
BEFORE DOING ANY ADJUSTMENTS EXIT THE APPS LIKE MUSIC PLAYER/etc!!
The interface to control the sound output is located at:
Code:
[B]/sys/kernel/sound_control_3[/B]
it has 4 control interfaces:
Camera MIC
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_cam_mic_gain
Headphone
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain
MIC
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_mic_gain
Internal Speaker
Code:
/sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_speaker_gain
each supports gain levels from 20 (-20) to 50 (+10), base is 40 (0)
(the number in the brackets correspond to the numbers displayed in the app)
say if u want to boost headphone output (both left and right channels) then use the following command:
Code:
echo "44 44" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain
u can also individually increase/decrease the gain for each right and left channel
similarly other interfaces can be controlled
TIP:
do not jump to maximum values as sometimes the headphones/speakers might start distorting the audio... slowly increase and do testing for the levels which suit you!
not all accessories will work well with boosted audio output
All of this wouldn't be possible without @Kali- and @Bin4ry helping with stuff and setting up device tree etc
Also big thx to @DooMLoRD for some of his kernel commits to tweak the CM kernel

Carbon settings/ lock screen/ targets - holding the lock icon makes carbon settings not respond
Also wifi and mobile icons not displayed on reboot. Shows 2 bars sometimes... (i think you know that bug though)
So far everything else is working.. camera is stock CM10.2 so thats always gonna be better than Sony.
Dark Carbon theme will save battery a little.. and looks better..
Over all a good experience...
How to enable PIE control? i cant find it in carbon setting
nice another new rom ! will flash and test it out tomorrow - have run the carbon rom on other devices and really liked the rom - is they overclocking and undervolting with this kernel ?

its black Vs grey. Grey uses more while backlight, so will use more display, hence more battery. Not much, probably 3-4% each day..
** 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 Guys!
Thanks to one of my coworker at work which had no further usage for his Note 8 GT-N5110 i had recently the possibility to call it my own! I was very happy about that but what i instantly missed after powering on the device for the first time was the great boeffla kernel which runs very well on my S3 for quite some time now. So i decided to "route" some spare time into porting the boeffla kernel for n801x devices to n51x0 devices. After a „couple of days“ and after fighting around with git, merging things and stuff i can enjoy now the power of boeffla on this device too! Finally i want to share this kernel with the ones who maybe missed boeffla on a Note 8 too and of course with all others which maybe want to give it a try.. As it is pretty much complete and i didn't want to reinventing the wheel i did (in agreement with Lord Boeffla!) a shameless copy of his text from the n8x0 thread and changed the relevant parts for this version. It is and it should stay a Boeffla Kernel so i think it's not that “blasphemic” if i copy the Lord himself. btw. all credits to him!!
This is the thread about the ported version of the Boeffla-Kernel for Galaxy Note 8 n51x0 devices
Some of you might know Lord Boefflas kernel already from the Galaxy S3 area.
If you want to learn more about the kernel, it's features and how to configure what, I would recommend you to visit the Galaxy S3 thread of the kernel.
Notes:
This kernel (provided in separate images) should work on the following devices:
GT-N5110 (Wifi only), GT-N5100 (G3 modem) and GT-N5120 (G4/LTE modem) Only GT-N5110 versions are tested by me as i have no possibility to test the others! So feedback about how the kernel is working on a GT-N5100 and GT-N5120 would be highly appreciated, thx!
The kernel images are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2) or Kit Kat (Android 4.4.2) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Kernel versions 1.x are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.2.2 roms!!!
Kernel versions 2.x are only for Samsung based Kit Kat 4.4.2 roms!!!
Custom Roms:
This Kernel is not compatible with the yNote ROM because of modifications related to init process and removing SELinux!! But it should work for example with stock based custom roms like civatos CivZ roms!
WARNING: Be sure that u flash the right kernel for the right device !! Images are named accordingly so double check that u use the right one! Flashing a wrong version may brick your device !!
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2621308

Lord Boefflas Objective
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. 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 !!!
I will, also in future, only add features that make sense to me personally as well and are not against my initial objectives. You can always raise your wishes and requests, however there is absolutely no guarantee it will be implemented.
Quote Lord Boeffla:
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i (ZaneZam) won't do that either but all the things Lord Boeffla decides to implement in the future will of course find their way into this kernel as long as it is possible to implement them plus/minus some little things i might find useful for the Note 8 devices but at the end always respecting Lord Boefflas Objective!
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2) and Samsung based Kit Kat (Android 4.4.2/GT-N5100 4.4.4) firmwares. Since 26.04.15 there are also CM12.x,CM13.x,LOS14.1 versions available. It is not designed to run on AOSP based roms!
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT NEWER STOCK ROMS: to be able to use the KitKat kernel builds with newer roms like XXDNH2 or XXDNH3 stock roms or based ones u will need to patch your rom beforehand. due to mali API changes in these roms booting with custom kernels isn't possible. so you can now checkout and install civatos fix HERE (many thx and credits to him!) after patching the rom the kernel should boot fine! <-- 10.04.15 since kernel version 2.2 obsolete as it has been "fixed" in the kernel itself. nonetheless if u still face issues with newer roms then u can use civatos method in addition but for now it's not needed to boot the kernel on newer roms.
Kit Kat 4.4.4:
Since version 2.1 stable this kernel is compatible with the XXDNL5 rom for GT-N5100 devices.
CM12.x:
Since 26.04.2015 there are also CM12.0 and CM12.1 versions for GT-N5100 and GT-N5110 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 12.x roms and based ones.
CM13.x:
Since 17.04.2016 there are also CM13.0 versions for GT-N5100 and GT-N5110 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 13.0 roms and based ones.
Since 01.05.2016 there are also CM13.0 versions for GT-N5120 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 13.0 roms and based ones.
LineageOS 14.1:
Since 13.01.2017 there are also LineageOS/CM14.1 versions for GT-N5100, GT-N5110 and GT-N5120 devices available. these are compatible with offical LineageOS 14.1 roms and based ones.
Note: You need at least version 2.4.19 of Boeffla-Config V2 to allow all functionalities to be available.
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from here: DOWNLOAD (offline, project EOL)
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate via XDA developers: Donation-Link or via link on Homepage (offline, project EOL)
Or, just purchase the donation version of the Boeffla-Config app, which also gives you some extra features.
Yeah go on folks donate for this great Dev!! :good:
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: https://github.com/zanezam
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:
* Andip71
* Yank555
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* DerTeufel
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux123
* civato
... 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 !!!
And special thanks from me to my friend Andi for letting this kernel-port exist „under his hood“ by providing it on his homepage and for supporting it in his Config App! Appreciate that much!!
Disclaimer
*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
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 CWM recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
One last important note from me ZaneZam:
This is a contribution to the Boeffla Kernel project and not my own project! This port was made in agreement with Lord Boeffla but not by himself! I will support this ported version as good as i can, Lord Boeffla will not as he doesn't support versions for devices he doesn't own! So please if you have device specific questions ask them here and not in any other boeffla kernel thread, thanks!
Cheers and now enjoy the power of Boeffla on the Note 8!

Give this guy his cookie, can't wait till Samsung releases the KK kernel source to try this baby out.
yeah i'm waiting too to be able to start from scratch
Been waiting for this thank you.....tested kernel on civatos rom, works great no issues at all.battery life and performance are great. Boffella sound is awesome and the boffella config gives a little more control over audio than just boffella sound. Would love to see a aosp kernel with these features since no current 4.4.2 aosp or cm kernels have boffella sound working. I downgraded from 4.4.2 for this kernel and happy I did.... Thanks
Have flashed it on my N5100 running latest X-Note ROM.
After first flash, my screen was flickering.
Then I did cache and dalvik wipe and flashed again.
Now no flickering any more, but my GSM doesn't work any more.
So back to civz kernel.

first of all thx for your braveness *gg* and thx for the report!
as said unfortunately i cannot test versions other then the N5110, so i rely on your reports.
but maybe i can pinpoint the problem with your help at least if you still are willing to help,
that would be great but also isn't a problem if u refuse
another one with such a problem on GT-N5100 or GT-N5120?

One thing I noticed that is very important to me is docking mode is no longer supported with this kernel. Switch to civatos kernel it works again.dock mode supports USB host charging and HDMI at the same time all u need to do is place a 65k resistor between Id pin and ground on ur USB host cable.....very important to me since tablet is used in my car as a head unit... I'd appreciate any help.Maybe s3 uses a different resistance?

actually to be as near as possible to boeffla kernel I didn't activate it in config but will check that for u and maybe we have an beta 2 soon!
I appreciate that . I really want to get into kernel dev. I built a few windows 7 moded os. But seems u need Linux experience I only have some backtrack experience. Thanks for the reply. I'm always open to testing

Yep sorry I noticed that 4.2.2 kernel source hasn't been updated, just no time.
When I finish my KitKat kernel I will upload the source to github.
Will try to do that this weekend.
yeah i know that "time thingy" very well! thx looking forward to your update.

Still running this kernel working good. Battery life is amazing. Hopefully u can get docking mode figured out when u have time.
I'm surprised there aren't more people interested in this kernel. Give it a try with civs 4.2.2 build u won't regret it.

Just to make sure, this still doesn't support TW KitKat Roms? I read in the OP that is for jellybean roms.
What is this:
This is Stuxnet a custom kernel for Android, this kernel focuses on simplicity and stabiilty. All features on this kernel are based on long hours of testing and all are thoroughly tested to give end users the best experience for their device.
Stuxnet is mostly stock with optimizations and features that are often used by users that are not affecting performance on their device. Future development of this kernel will focus on Performance and Stability.
So enough with the intro and start testing this on your device.
Features:
Based on Android 5.0 AOSP source
Mainstream Linux version 3.4+
SaberMod arm-eabi-4.9 Toolchain
Fully Optimized Stock Kernel
Double Tap to wake
Sound Control
Gamma Control
Thermal Enhancements
Check SOURCE for full changelog
How To's:
Install in recovery
Reboot

"This kernel has 2 builds, Stable and Exp(experimental). For the experimental builds, take note that "experimental" means its not stable so expect the unexpected. But for Stable, it's direct to the point saying what it is."
Build Stuxnet from source:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/Stuxnet-Kernel/stuxnet_manifest -b master && repo sync -j4 --no-clone-bundle
After syncing go to build folder and change the toolchain path on the scripts (stable for stable, etc.):
Code:
EXPORT CROSS_COMPILE="Point this to your existing toolchain"
After changing the path run the build command:
Code:
./mako-stable.sh
Finished product will be located inside mako/zip
For building CM kernel, do this commands after syncing the source:
Code:
cd mako && git branch cm-12 && git checkout cm-12 && git pull https://github.com/Stuxnet-Kernel/kernel_mako cm-12
Then while still on mako folder:
Code:
cd ../build && ./mako-cm.sh

If I still had my N4 I know what I'd be flashing. Keep up the hard work @Gnome if this kernel is anything like your Arkenstone kernel it will be stable and very smooth. Enjoy guys/gals. :good:
Thanks for this new kernel, I flashed it and everything works smoothly ( 26126 in Antutu ), but I miss voltage control, will you add it in next builds ?

Voltage control is cool but some users really doesn't know how to use it, then if they screw up they go "blame it on the dev." Lol! Anyways I might release another version that has that just to be safe, soon if time permits.
Finally something for lollipop. Subscribed. Flashing.

I am assuming we use ukm to tweak the kernel? BTW great work! Great to see an awesome dev make another kernel!
v2.0 is up changelog's on 2nd post.
@oxxshadow you can use and kernel daemon you like, I personally use trickster, but any will do.
Hello! First of all, nice kernel! It works Smooth!!!
But I have 2 questions. How I can change the colors? I don't like this kernel colors, I prefer stock. And... How I can activate the doubletap_to_wake?
Thanks a lot!

For Galaxy S6 920 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 For Galaxy S6 925 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8
For Lollipop 5.1.1 only!
UniKernel Features
- Supports F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
- Supports 920FS, ID and SD Dual SIM devices
- All edge screen special functions on Edge devices working
- Built from official Samsung Sources
- Full init.d scripting support
- SE Linux set to permissive (will prevent private mode from working)
- Stock Clocks
- Fully working Auto-Root for all 5.1.1 roms
- BusyBox injection if not detected in ROM
- DriveDroid support
- CIFS / FUSE
Kernel Configuration
The TWRP flashable kernel now comes with an Aroma installer, allowing you to choose a configuration you prefer. It also comes with 3 preset options - Stock, Performance, and Battery.
The Stock preset will make the kernel behave exactly as a stock kernel - no turbo mode, CFQ scheduler, stock interactive
If no pre-existing configuration file is found on the phone, (ie - New ROM flash) the ODIN flashable kernel will also have stock behaviour.
Every Aroma option is clearly labelled with an accurate description of what the setting will change. You are free to reflash to change configurations or manually edit the /system/unikernel.prop file that is generated by the installer (and then reboot). If you choose either the performance or custom options and enable Turbo mode, do not post in this thread about poor battery life. Turbo mode costs battery. deal with it

Okay tried on the Canadian 920W8 and no call audio and Network Settings gets replaced with Sim Card Manager. LTE icon doesn't show anymore but data works!

Yeah, to be expected. the defconfig in the kernel sources I used was specific to the international versions only. I will need to download the sources for the T variant (and maybe W8) and examine them for file differences and defconfig differences. gonna take some time. However, i I can build a working one its easy to build 2 simultanoeusly for upload in the future. only takes 5 mins per kernel.
thanks for testing though!
No problem.
If I flash back the stock kernel, will there be any leftovers from your kernel in the system?
So far no problem at all. Good work. I hope that some talented dev could port to our galaxy savoca color calibration... Thanks.

great to hear! thankyou
Hi , what about performance ? is it really more fluid than the stock one ?
thanks
Works like it should. Thank you for your work and time spent!
I don't see ktoonsez in your credits. Since you copied his voltage control.

1) not released yet
2) originator is on the github commit
3) is actually made by Andrei lux
There is no need to credit every kernel contributor in existence especially if those commits are tagged
Um. ktoonsez spent hours trying to get the voltage control to actually apply. It was being overridden by touchjizz rom on every boot. I was one of his testers. It took about 4 hours. It wasnt just a copy paste.

that may well be the case. however, as I said previously, the commits on my github from today are on code that has not been released yet. You can see the released kernel with the defconfig v01a commit and comment (last one pushed yesterday)
perhaps im using voltage control sysfs for some internal testing? maybe ill remove it before release? maybe i am going to release it in the future? maybe i would have given credit, as I have everyone else on the *curerntly released* code.
I will not enter into any further discussions with you on this matter. If you wish to report my thread please do go ahead. as it stands right now, i am 100% in compliance with both the stickies at the top of this very thread and XDAs very clear GPL rules.
The OP has not violated the GPL or xda rules by using kernel code from other developers. First because he hasn't released that code as a binary yet, and second he has not squashed the original authorship out of his sources. This satisfies the GPL and xda's rules on giving credit.
It is simply not possible to list all the kernel contributors in the OP...the list is way way way way too long.
If there are any more issues about the GPL, credit, sharing, etc. Please PM me about them.
Thanks!
OK everyone
After a bit of a delay due to computer issues, i have a new kernel ready for beta testing. Anyone interested?
Built in OC to 1.6GHz on .LITTLE and 2.3GHz on .big cores
lots of fixes and boosts
very very smooooooth
Bring it on. I would love to overclock 53 but tone down the 57 ones, it's possible with a tuner I belive?

[64-bit][KERNEL][UBER-TC][15 Oct]Spirit.Kernel r3 [CAF]
Spirit Kernel
This kernel works on all the latest roms available which require new kernel source.
Statutory Warning: This kernel is not a feature bloated kernel like other kernels available, if you like tons of govs/io and hotplugs all in one and if you like to blow up your device, then you are at the wrong spot. This kernel will be minimal and only necessary features will be added.
A while back my users requested me to make a kernel which supports new ROMs(as few of them fail to). So I have decided to make a kernel which contains essential features along with stability and smoothness.
I will update this regularly as I have time and will add new features and fixes as well.
If you have any feature requests, don't hesitate to post it here!! I will consider if I like it
PLEASE READ
How to report a bug?
Include the following in your bug report:
The ROM you are currently using + a link to the ROM's thread
A log, preferably dmesgs or kmsgs (use Google to find out how to pull these from your device)
The version of SpiritKernel you use (=rx, e.g.r3)
Bug reports not meeting these requirements will be ignored.
NO BUG REPORTS ON EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS!
Features
This Hybrid kernel contains features from great kernel devs with like faux,franco etc, optimized for tomato to make it work.Initially there are less features but I will add much more soon

What do you mean ?
Does a bloated kernel 'blows up' device ?

adding unnecessary features and modifying codes without knowing anything does.
for eg. adding 4-5 hotplugs (enabled by default) and all working at once does.

This kernel is good but yureka plus is too damn slow on darkness governer.. Have to keep it on performance.. Any settings for a balanced usage without lags and good battery backup??
Thanks for the kernel.. ??
Does it supports MIUI 7?
Pls add 2.0ghz oc
