[Kernel] StarKissed [ATT, CAN, TMO, USC, VZW] - Galaxy Note 4 Unified Development

Welcome to the first custom kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.​Providing instability to the masses since October 21, 2014​
​
This kernel currently supports most North American carriers. Automatic selection is provided through the use of specialized recovery packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.
Mereology (from the Greek μερος, ‘part’) is the theory of parthood relations: of the relations of part to whole and the relations of part to part within a whole. I do not take responsibility for anything these days, but I'll try to do my part and help.

Thank force70 for the guide
Known Issues:
DVFS set to ignore and secure storage disabled often resolve the lag. If you need either of these, stock / stockish are required.

Will be nice if you can provide two different build. One without all the fancy things that some people wont have use for, such as overclocking, close to stock as possible but still provide stability, smoothness, and better battery life.
Some kernel makers just slap everything they can onto a kernel and in the long wrong, it is simply instable or provide hicups (that they will never own up to lol)

Nice job twisted keep it coming...

I don't provide anything I wouldn't run on my own device. If you want it to be stock, vote for stock. If that is what wins, that is what I will build. It is enough to provide a single kernel for a bunch of devices without trying to keep track of per-device versions. I slap everything I can onto a kernel, test it, then delete or fix the broken stuff. My github is always current and anything I changed is clearly published to point the finger at whoever it needs to be pointed at.

Lol just throwing it out there , that is my vote

I vote like mgbotoe! Thank you sir!

Only thing I am seeking is SE Linux Permissive. Thanks for all your work!

Tried flashing the files (that are highlighted) in picture attachment using odin 3.07, got a fail. What am I doing wrong? Anyone else flash yet? How'd ya do it and did it work out ok?
Thanks Ahead.

Hardlimit by yank555 I'd like to see, along with your hotplug of choice, I like intelliplug myself, some govs, I usually stick with interactive anyways, maybe some mdnie controls etc etc. Lol I'm just tossing out what I enjoy..but, you tell me, what do you normally build in your kernels.?

I just hope that you have already gotten some sort of windows pc so you
won't be having all those problems you were having for the past 3-4 days
due to using a mac computer.
Good luck with your kernels.
p.s. my vote is the same as mgbotoe's

I've heard Odin doesn't like the files. I use Heimdall but I'll be looking into that.

You're starting to sound like the Best Buy reps when Windows 8 came out. At least before they had to start telling everyone 8.1 was coming to fix how terrible it turned out being once people started using it.
You have to run cygwin or an Ubuntu VM inside windows to build Android. You can run windows AND Ubuntu as windowed applications on Mac. Seems unnecessary when the real issue is consistency in the cm repos. The instructions say to get the Linux compiler ports, while detection identifies the platform compilers.

I don't know how good of an idea messing with the adaptive charging would be, but I'll look into it. It depends if that functionality is tied into the USB port charging or not.

It is great that you have done this work and I (along with a bunch of others) are really grateful - it would be nice if we could flash this -
Doesn't work with Odin - not sure about the other option you mentioned, I personally have never used that method -
So - any instructions you can offer would be great - unless you feel it is not appropriate to flash this yet?
Your help - and input is greatly appreciated.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I personally loved leanKernel on my Note 3 - all the latest fixes and improvements without 40000 things that only crazy experimenters and overclockers would use. I'd love a solid, lean, and mean daily-driver kernel.

If you could somehow throw in faux sound support that would be awesome .. I miss raising my volume just a bit for alarms...
Anyways Thanks a lot bro

Ironically, modifying imoseyon's kernels was how I first learned to build. I took his and added those one or two additional things I found somewhere else and wanted to use. Right now, I am working on getting intellidemand updated for this kernel, but I am only looking to get a few options that really work well so if there are better, let me know.
For the TCP congestion avoidance, it appears that enabling advanced options somehow broke selection. It appears to work just fine, but that troubles me. I don't want to force a setting for that, but if it comes down to it, I may have to limit the options.
Veno, from some documentation I've recently read, was the optimal option for mobile network performance. I believe it was reno that was best for wifi performance, but I have to go back and read up again.
I added some code for fast charge to be verified, but the layout is much different than most Samsung phones, so I won't know if it works until I attempt to blow up my phone.
