This kernel is based on teamhacksung's kernel, with updated Linux base to 3.0.38
This kernel is working with every ICS based Rom
Features:
- 378, 391 and 403 Mb Ram available (selectable in kernel, no need for a patch (403 mb breaks 720p) only reboot required)
- 2 different recoveries included (cmw touch recovery + twrp recovery (to use TWRP, just create a file named "twrp" at /cache))
- SIO scheduler (default)
- V(R) scheduler (maybe even faster than SIO, can be set as default by using NSTools for example)
- init.d
- Voodoo Sound and CM9 Color Adjusment / Voodoo Color (VC version)
- Devil Idle
- BLN V9 (thx to mialwe)
- USB Host mode driver (for more information about this, and for saying thanks to the guy, who ported this for our phone, please visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298 )
-Ezekeel's Live_Oc
- Ezekeel's Deep Idle V2
- Touchwake
- vibrator intensity control (by mialwe)
- BLX (Batterie Life Extender, I don't think we need it, but maybe one feels better by using it )
- backports from Linux 3.2 and 3.3
- Swap/Zram support
- Zcache, Cleancache and Frontswap
- Uksm
- Fiops io scheduler
- Smooth_ui included to ondemand, conservative, smartass, lulzactive, lagfree and lazy governor (only one setting for activating/deactivating it in general)
- 3 cpu governor presets (smooth, normal, powersave) for ondemand, conservative, smartass, lulzactive, lagfree (only one setting for switching the mode in general)
- many other small features and improvements

Kernels with VC in the name are coming with Voodoo Color
oliva94 said:
IF the kernel zip name contains _JB_, THEN and only then you can use it IF you do NOT have datadata partition
ELSE if you HAVE datadata, then use one WITHOUT _JB_ in the name
if you use it otherwise, it will boot but system is eventually going to crash/not load due to partition table (thus blockdevice naming) mismach

If you like this kernel, please donate to me
Changelog:
changelog 02.08.2012:
- bug fix to bln, to prevent kernel panic in some situations (thx to thalamus)
- switched from deep_idle 2 to idle2 (also thx to thalamus)
- updated kernel to linux 3.0.38
- dockaudio sysfs for captivate and fascinate
- automated symlinking from data to system: if one wants to free up some space at /system, without removing an app completely, just copy it from /system/app to /data/sys-parts/app (create the folder if not there), and reboot. during reboot, the app from system gets deleted, and the app from /data/sys-parts/app gets symlinked to system. this is working for almost every app, but i don't recommend doing this with apps, needed for android to work (framework, media provider, settings,...)
IDLE2 can be enabled with the following command:
echo 0 > /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/idle2_disabled
IDLE2 can be disabled with the following command:
echo 1 > /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/idle2_disabled
Stats can be obtained from the standard cpuidle interface, which, for
IDLE2 is located at:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/time
where * = 1, 2, 3
changelog 25.07.2012:
- updated recovery (no "sdcard format"-bug anymore, external sd card is named correctly)
- vibrant: hopefully fixed froyo ril
- jellybean: galaxy s settings working now
changelog 22.07.2012:
This kernel is for use with ICS only, if you are looking for a kernel, running on teamhacksung cm10 build, visit my jellybean kernel thread[/url]
- updated kernal base to linux 3.0.36
- updated "block" to linux 3.3
- readded fiops io scheduler (kept cfq this time)
- updated cwm recovery to 6.0.1.0 (please create a new nandroid, because of possible incompatibilities between old/new recovery)
- compiled with linaro toolchain (gcc 4.7.1) and O3 compiler flags
- made uksm scan less often (save cpu time and power)
- at first boot: only delte init.d scripts created by other kernels
- increased usb write performance
- lowered ram and display voltages a little bit
- fixed some bugs related to devil settings (they should stick now after reboot, if set by one of the devil apps)
- support for scripts in /system/etc/shutdown.d (thx to Efpophis)
all scripts placed at /data/local/shutdown.d or /system/etc/shutdown.d get executed at shutdown/reboot
you can use this, to play a shutdown sound for example.
by default 00shutdown gets created, which plays a music file, when it is placed at one of these folders/places
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
/data/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

- disabled some debugging options
- audio (and for fascinate: camera fixes) by Efpophis+
- patch for improving batterie life by CML
- nfts read/write driver built in (for use with usb host mode)
- reverted refreshrate_mod and gpu_oc mod, as both weren't working
changelog 18.06.2012:
- some changes to load balancing
- added ultra ksm (metioned by zach thx for this my friend)
- readded fiops io scheduler (still experimental and could cause instablilities)
- using snappy compression for zram now (2 times faster, but only 2% less compression)
- added the possibility to change zram size (at /data/local/devil/zram_size, with valid values: 50, 75, 100 and 150 (all in mb))
- fixed the applying of user_min/max freq after reboot
- vibrant: fixed gps
- fascinate: fixed nandroid in cwm recovery
what is ksm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_SamePage_Merging_(KSM)
uksm is more optimized and also working for single core systems. using this should give much better ram usage, but at the cost of more cpu usage
############# most probably not working (yet)##############
i have added seperate gpu oc from jt1134's galaxy_tab (to switch between 200 and 250 mhz), but i did not get any improvements in antutu...further tests needed
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 250 mhz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pvr_oc/pvr_oc (for 200 mhz), no reboot needed
and also have changend default screen refreshrate from 60 to 56, with the possibility to change it:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (60 hz)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/refreshrate/enable (56 hz)

changelog 01.05.2012:
- all changes from cm9 stock kernel (including mount points option)
- some fine tuning to deadline and sio
- Devil Idle: limiting bus/ram/gpu speed to 100 mhz for 100-800 mhz cpu freq, while screen off (automatic mode) or always (permanet), both modes automatically reduce the int voltages of the affected freq by 50 mV
- compiled with swap support
- added stratosk's smooth_ui to lulzactive governor (activated by default)
- rest oc_value to 100 while screen off, and back when screen turns on (combined with devil idle automatic, can't be turn on/off without devil idle)
- added posibility for different voltages while screen off (also bundled with devil_idle, with default settings, stock arm voltages are applied, because of live_oc set to 100)
- added the possibility to set freq limits while screen off (min and max freq)
19.04.2012
- even better fix to selective live_oc (last one (in test kernel) generated some overhead)
- fixed sampling rate of ondemand and conservative (have ported mialwe's/stratosk's sleep multipliers)
- new tunables for ondemand and conservativ
sleep multiplier and tunables:
mialwe and stratosk had the great idea, to change the sampling rate of conservative and ondemand governor while display of. for this, he introduced the sleepmultiplier (in his case factor 3). this means, if you set sampling rate to 20000, it changes to 60000 while screen off, and back, when screen on.
for ondemand and conservative:
i have made this multipliers tunable. proper values are between 1 and 5, because one could want a higher multiplier while screen off, if sampling rate is very low while screen on (higher sampling rate means, less checking for work load --> better batterie, worse performance). with this tunables you get better batterie, without making the performance worse while screen on.
two other tunables: up_threshold_min_freq and responsiveness_freq
the first one is a very low threshold while on low freq (by default 40), to make the governor scale up faster, until the responsiveness_freq is reached.
the responsiveness_freq is set to 400000 (400 mhz) by default. while the freq is below this value, up_threshold is the same as up_threshold_min_freq, and freq jumps to responsiveness_freq, with skipping the freq between the actual one and the responsiveness_freq. (conservative governor does not jump up to this step)
responsiveness_freq can be set to values between 100000 and 1400000
up_threshold_min_freq can be set to the same values as the normal up_threshold.
not tunable: while screen off, up_threshold is set to 95, no matter your other settings, to save more batterie.
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
for lulzactive:
for this governor, i did similar things, but they are not tunable till now.
when screen off:
- inc_cpu_load is set to 90, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- up_sample_time is set to 50000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
- down_sample_time is set to 40000, and back to the original value, when screen turns on
other changes:
- fix to touchwake from ezekeel, and another fix from stratosk
- upstream fix to compass
- building for i9000B now, too (big thanks to F4k for the hints by pn )
- removed some typos from recovery
- removed some annoying "no's" and "yes" from recovery in misc menu
- fixed wifi mode switch (pm_fast is the one with better signal)
14.04.2012:
- new b versions (only stock ram) changend to 377 mb, VC version needs the 720p fix from my ftp server. cmc version already patched
13.04.2012:
- updated wifi driver
- added the possibility to switch between wifi PM_Fast and PM_Max mode (Pm_Fast = better signal, PM_Max = better batterie, default is PM_Max)
- user interface to disable fsync (this gives more performace, at the risk of data loss on a crash, taken from ezekeel, so it should be ok ), default is off, to be safe
- fixed voodoo color kernels (these have the VC in their names)
10.04.2012:
- added vibrator intensity control (by mialwe), presets can be changend in recovery
- stock ram version now available (348 mb ram), XL (390 mb), XL_bm (402 mb)
- removed 1080 mhz freq for now
- small correction to touchwake
- small correction to selective live_oc (now the low freq really are not live_oc'ed)
05.04.2012:
- fixed bug in selective live_oc, which caused the target high not taking affect to the highest freq, if highest freq equals target high
- fixed another bug in selective live_oc, which could lead to gpu crashes due to overclocking the ram, but not the cpu freq (for low steps)
- added a switch to change between "normal" and selective live_oc
by changing the live_oc mode while using it, live_oc value is set back to 100, to prevent strange things
- added possibility to set max. freq for boot (in recovery). This freq is set until init.d is executeted (it is automatically set to 1000 at this point, to make sure there are no conflicts with other cpu settings from users)
#Already in the last version, but i forgot about it:
- deep idle fixes from stratosk (many thanks)
- added possibility to underclock by using live_oc (limit is 90 now, which means lowering all freq and bus speed by 10%, to save more batterie when really needed)
03.04.2012:
For now there are three different RAM versions:
- stock mem kernel has 379 mb ram, everything working
- "slim ics" (XL) kernel comes with 390 mb, this is breaking playback of some high resolution videos
- XL_BM is coming with 402 mb ram, but breaking 720p
(while flashing the kernel, the modded rom files are also flashed, so you don't need to flash a new rom to get 379 or 390 mb)
-added new frequency: 1080 mhz (1100 does not like live_oc)
- fixed SmartassV2 for live_oc (after changing live_oc value, you have to change the smartass values, too, but then they automatically apply to the live_oc value (although you can only select 800 mhz in nstools (for example))
- touch recovery with custom devil menu (for some reason it takes a few seconds to load the first time, missing virtual keys is a warning, because there are no virtual keys yet)
-fast charge (thx to chad0989 for this), disabled by default.
you also can use the widget from chad (to place on homescreen) to toggle the fast_charge mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...stchargewidget

How to:
you can change ram setting by doing the following ( to make these settings even stick after power off, you also have to echo the same value to to /data/local/devil/bigmem):
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you xl mem of 391 mb)
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you bm mem of 403 mb (this is breaking 720p))
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable (this gives you cm9 default mem of 378 mb)
you have to reboot to make changes work

With setting this, your desired swap mode gets automatically applied at boot time. For swap, you have to create a swap partition at your external sd card before
echo 1 > /data/local/swap_use (for using swap partition on external sd card, you have to create this partition before)
echo 2 > /data/local/swap_use (for using Zram, no other modifications required)
you have to reboot to make changes active. You can't use swap and Zram at the same time

echo 1450 1400 1350 1275 1075 975 875 800 > /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/arm_volt_screenoff
this way, it is possible to undervolt while screen off, but overvolt and overclock while screen on
for now, the int voltages can not be changend

set freq limits while screen off (min and max freq)
enable the limits:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/user_min_max_enable
disable:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/user_min_max_enable
set values to be applied if activated:
echo 100000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/user_min
echo 800000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/user_max
both are independent from devil_idle, and get applied when screen turns off
by default 100 and 1000 mhz are set.
values which can be put here are all "stock" freq (without live_oc level) multiplied with 1000. live_oc values get applied automatically.

to set responsiveness_freq, up_threshold_min_freq or sleep_multiplier for ondemand and/or conservative governor, you have to do it like this:
echo VALUE > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/VARIABLE_NAME
and
echo VALUE > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative/VARIABLE_NAME
example:
echo 400000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/responsiveness_freq
echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold_min_freq
echo 5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sleep_multiplier
up_threshold_min_freq is disbaled by default for conservative governor
(to disable it for ondemand you have to set up_threshold_min_freq to 100.

A: When TOP=Off is used, the best powersaving state is used. TOP=ON will be shown, when bluetooth or gps are running.
Q: In Idle status I only see TOP=On. What's wrong here? I don't use Bluetooth or Gps.
A: You have to flash the modded framework-res.apk, because ICS does not fully deactivate bluetooth by default. Even if you never use it.
Q: Idle Stats only are showing Idle, but no Deep Idle. Why?
A: An App is preventing the use of Deep Idle. At first, you should try closing the cam, running in the background. Also rebooting should solve this problem.
Q: What is fudgeswap?
A:
Setting this to a very large positive number will indicate swap ought
to be fully used as free (and will slow the system down)
smaller numbers will allow you to put some pressure on SWAP without
slowing the system down as much.
small negitive numbers will allow the system to be faster at the same
minfree level.
default is 512 to give a very little bit of pressure to use some swap
but this can be modified at runtime via:
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/fudgeswap
Up and running just fine on AOKP B38.

Flashed without issue. Nice boot splash btw. All the big stuff works camera, wifi. Looks like about 378 usable ram to start. Feels pretty smooth. I'm gonna flash to my primary phone so I can use it all day. Just wanted to let peeps know they can flash it boots. I'll play with it today and get back to you.

I can change it. I'm getting weird artifact on the NSTools side. Prolly not kernel related. So far pretty impressed. I'll be in touch with you soon about a few things. I like what I see though.

This looks like pretty solid work, thanks man! Would you mind if I look into .. leveraging (pronounced: kang) .. some of your stuff for the Glitch kernel? With proper credit, of course. I'm thinking some of the schedulers / governors to start with... I miss having a CFQ that compiles, lol.
Thanks again.
Looks great. You might want to update the OP to say "fascinate" rather than "vibrant" however

Cfq is not compiling because of fiops. If you disable it, cfq should compile again.
Of course you can take some stuff. I also do this, for example it took his/yours initramfs for this kernel.
I just had not enough time to change the OP. I just copied it from my other threads. ;-)

Ah, finally. Good to see AniDroid getting a JB upgrade, well done Novic.
Also, I get a new JB kernel to update in Kernel Repository.
Sorry, v02 kernel have a little BUG that prevents you from changing CPU Freq Governor...
Just fixed it and soon upload the new version of kernel..
Except for what you already stated, kernel works just fine on AOKP as well... I am on Half Illusion CP 3 currently.
Edit: Governor issue resolved with v.03 on HI AOKP, confirming.

Amazing, glad to see you back in action novic!
Just uploaded 0.4 version of kernel with OC and UC support (from 100 to 1600 MHz with 100 MHz step)
Thank you for OC and UV kernel.
I can change voltage from 1100 to 1600 MHz but for clock 1000 MHz and below I can not change the voltage lower. Whatever I press the slider down and save, it always comes back to default.
I use Voltage Control and System Tuner Pro.
Is that a bug or I made a mistake?
Btw, can you increase the thermal throttling clock higher than 800 MHz? 1200 MHz is still safe and we can get better performance. I used to have 1400 MHz with "Odin's son" kernel in CM9.
Thank you.
Thanks! Will fix it in the next versions!
PS: All voltages below 1000mhz are decreased to the most stable values to save battery

Hi,
caming from anidroid ics, i flashed this JB anidroid yesterday but i got a bootloop... need to do a fullwipe, install anidroid v0.2, flash kernel 0.3, reboot in recovery, flash gapps and than everything was ok !!
I see new versions in 1st post, can i just flash the kernel v0.4 or do i need to flash the complete rom?
Atm, i had three issues:
- the clock was stucked, need to reboot the phone
- no deepsleep, changed governor to lulzactive then ok
- tried to change dpi to 280 with dpi changer but got a black screen (no bootanimation)
Other remark:
Contacts pictures during call still pixelized...
Anyway very good rom, thanks :victory:

You should flash 0.4 kernel over the ibstalled ROM, with no need to flash the complete ROM.

The only 2 ways for changing DPI without black screen
1) ROM Toolbox Lite/Pro
2) File Explorer with root access (e.g. Root Explorer) and manually edit build.prop in /system
ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX (<- your choice)
Paranoid on Belly Jean // HydraCore 4
Is there fast charge in this from? If not can we get a version with it implemented? It is highly essential at my workplace

The good old lock screen delay we had in the early ics roms is back.If i remember it was a kernel issue.
Also the whole phone is somewhat slower in every aspect.I came directly from ics 1.0,no full wipe if that matters.
Will download 0.4 now.

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

If you don't want some dead pixels, then I guess 1,6GHz are more than enough.
I am just wishing for a toggle in lupus menu for GPU overclock if possible, even though wedgess claims it that it'll cause lag.
Now I am thinking of creating LuPuS ROM optimized for this kernel based on GB...
I'll get my hands dirty after exams are over...

Gin2JB is STOCK based. Not sure exactly of the changes between 2.3.4 and 2.3.7 but u could ask vokal my guess is its minimal. But ye g2jb is the ROM I use for testing GB kernels.
Don't disable 720p recording in ICS & GB kernels, we only use gb & ics ROMs for camera& HD recording only...

Omg thats a lot of ram how do u get that?. I use gb roms for my daily driver and nightelf for kernel. But the max ram is 230+ only both on lite and full version. Am I missing something?

In NE 10.1 lite you get 384mb...can't say about other versions...go to codenameX thread to get mirror links for it.
Edit- Hey, you took it wrong...384mb is total available ram out of 512mb.

Not for the moment ill be keeping it at 1.6. You are ceazy if u keep your device running at 1.8ghz. And if its just to get higher benchmarks..... Its pointless.

No, Doomlord released a gb kernel for xperia arc & play running stable at 2ghz and on xperia neo night-elf released gb kernel running stable at 1.8ghz
why dont you guys understand the long term adverse effects of OC...take smoking as example...a chain smoker may look perfectly fit and healthy(stable)...but you all know the long term effects of smoking on a person's health. same is OC...killing your device slowly.
make an engine designed to run on 4500rpm run at 8000rpm...you will love the speed...but eventually...early breakdown.
i keep max OC at 1200mhz...that too on ICS. GB not at all requires OC.
TeamWin recovery sucks... Can't even mount my USB in it. Had to push the wifi modules thru adb.
Anyway. Great to see you work on a GB Kernel I was wondering, which min clock freq is best? On the other kernels ive used, it was usually 245 mhz, I think, and not the lowest one. But here there is like 134-184-249 Mhz

min 249mHz
max 460mHz
governor conservative
I/O scheduler sio or deadline
Only on Gingerbread of course! You'll notice the performance of JellyBean ROMs, the same "lag", but less, that all JB ROMs have. Still the device runs smoothly. Keep those values and play with governors, the frequencies are ideal! Below 249mHz more battery is consumed, again, the that minimum value is ideal.

Isn't max clock of 460 MHz way too little ? Or do you man that the max min clock I should set, should be 460?

No, 600+ mHz are useless for Gingerbread. Trust me, I had a X10 mini pro with nAa kernel and 600mHz was more than enough.
Give a try min 249, max 460, gov Lionheart. And tell me the performance impact you notice. I am on these settings now and phone is just great on Gin2Jellybean.

Installation
Step 0
This step is only needed if your Android version is lower than 4.
If you have already Android 4.1.2 or even 4.4.x installed, then go to step 1.
Update to the latest Samsung stock ROM 4.1.2 with ODIN.
Make sure your battery level is at least 70 % before you proceed.
I'm a noob, please show me more details:
Download needed files for Windows (for other OS, please search the web):
Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones
odin3_v3.07.zip offline flasher
Stock ROM
For the GT-I8160 you need:
I8160XXMB4.zip (3-parted)
and
ONE-I8160XXNF2-20140930142454.zip (Latest stock ROM)
For the GT-I8160P you need:
CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXLK2_CL1211774_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_XLK2_4G.zip ( first 3-parted)
and
CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXME1_DBT_1106830_REV00_user_low_ship.zip (second 3-parted)
and
DBT-I8160PXXMG2-20130820164646.zip (Latest stock ROM)
For the GT-I8160L you need:
GT-I8160L-3parted.zip (3-parted)
and
PGU-I8160LUBMK2-20140603151522.zip (Latest stock ROM)
After you've downloaded the needed files and you've unpacked and installed the Samsung USB Driver, you can proceed wit the upgrade.
Note: All your data will be deleted, so it's recommended to backup some important files to your computer, including the content of your sdcard.
First of all, export all your contacts to your ext-sdcard. Later you will need this file in order to import your contacts into the new ROM because the new ROM CM11 has a small issue that it can't read SIM contacts.
Now copy the exported contacts to your PC and then format the sdcard as FAT32 if you can, if you don't know how to do that, it's also (for now) enough to simply delete all files and folders from the sdcard.
Unpack Odin3_v3.07.zip and open the program inside, it's: Odin3 v3.07.exe
Unpack the ROM, for example we unpack the ROM: I8160XXMB4.zip for the GT-I8160 which is a 3-parted stock ROM.
Well, now power off the phone and remove the sdcard.
Press and hold at the same time: volume down + home + power button.
The phone will boot directly to "Download Mode", now press "Volume +" to enter "Download Mode".
Connect the phone with your PC with the USB cable (important: during flashing don't turn off your pc or phone, also don't touch the phone or the USB cable)
Your phone should be recognized by ODIN .. you can see this in "ID:COM"
if not, then the USB drivers for Samsung mobiles are not properly installed !
Don't change the check boxes !!!
Now load the *.tar.md5 files as follows into ODIN:
PDA = HOME OR CODE (*.tar.md5)
Wait until the MD5 check is done and proceed by adding the next package in ODIN.
CSC = CSC (*.tar.md5)
PIT = *.pit File (the checkbox Re-Partition is now checked )
Before you press "Start", make sure everything looks like this:
For 3-parted stock ROM:
http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/GT-I8160/General/odin_3parted.png
For latest Stock ROM:
http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/GT-I8160/General/odin.png
Finally press "Start", be patient ... this takes around 7 minutes.
The phone will reboot several times. When you see the pad for entering the SIM PIN ... then the (3-parted) ROM was flashed successfully and you can now remove the USB cable and reset ODIN and you should flash the next ROM with ODIN which is:
ONE-I8160XXNF2-20140930142454.zip (Latest Stock ROM)
flash it exactly like the 3-parted one, with the difference that it's only one file to add in ODIN .... see the screenshot "For latest stock ROM" which is odin.png.
Step 1
Download required files and copy them to your micro sdcard without to unpack them:
Temp_CWM_6.0.2.8.zip to your sd-card, do not unpack it.
CM11
A2N Kernel (choose normal version, or if you want to increase the space for apps, then choose "sdcard_only", but you need micro-sd-card and you should perform re-partition - very easy - step-by-step)
Optional re-partition:
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout_sdcard_only.zip (for sdcard_only version) OR
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip (for normal kernel version):
gapps (required for Google Play)
Choose ARM - 4.4 - pico
OR
if it's no longer available, then use this version from FTP-Server
Swype_fix.zip
Explicit for GT-I8160P, download GT-I8160P_Support_Vx.x.zip
Explicit for GT-I8160L, download GT-I8160L_Support.zip
Step 2 (only required if your device has no cwm recovery)
Flash a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_ODIN.tar with ODIN in order to have CWM recovery or boot to stock recovery in order to flash temp_cwm.
Step 3 (optional)
Increase the available space for apps from 1,2 GB, up to 3 GB !
More Informations about the repartition: Post #3
This step is optional, so if you don't plan to install a lot of apps you can skip this and go to step 4.
flash cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip
OR
cwm_cm11_partitions_layout_sdcard_only.zip
press several times the soft back-key, then tap
"advanced"
"power off"
boot again to recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /storage/sdcard0 as "vfat" [it's like FAT 32]
Go back and "wipe data/factory reset"
"advanced"
"power off"
Boot to cwm
Go to step 5
Step 4
"mounts and storage"
"format /system"
format /storage/sdcard0 as "vfat" [it's like FAT 32]
Go back and "wipe data/factory reset"
"advanced"
"power off"
boot to recovery
Step 5
flash CM11 (GT-I8160_Support.zip already included)
in addition for GT-I8160P (for the NFC model):
flash GT-I8160P_Support_Vx.x.zip
in addition for GT-I8160L (for the latin version):
flash GT-I8160L_Support.zip
Flash latest kernel:
a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_4.4.4_sdcard_only.zip
OR
a2n_kernel_gt-i8160_4.4.4.zip
Flash open-gapps
Finally flash Swype_fix.zip
Reboot system now
Be patient, it takes around 5 minutes for the first boot.
DONE !

Useful Tips / FAQ
Activate Developer Options
Go to Settings ---> "about phone" and tap several times to "build number".
3-Way Reboot Menu
Go to settings ----> developer options and enable: "advanced reboot menu".
Faster Animations
in developer options set all 3 animator times from 1.0x to 0.5x.
How to Setup SpiritFMFree
Open SpiritFMFree app, go to setting ----> audio ----> method ----> "Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS"
Changes After the Repartition
cwm_cm11_partition_layout_sdcard_only.zip
The total space from sdcard0 will moved to /data - so that's why a real sdcard is mandatory here.
/data is 3 GB for apps - max. possible!
No problems with apps installations
No wasted space !
cwm_cm11_partition_layout.zip
sdcard0 will be added with 1 GB size... and you're able to use also micro-sdcard (sdcard1)
/data is 2 GB for apps.
No wasted space !
For reference purposes, the original partition layout has following setup:
sdcard0 is 1,1 GB
/data is 1,2 GB for apps
Some wasted space and too low free space for installing apps.
How to Disable EOC(end-of-charge) BLN(backlight notification) for LPM(offline-charging) + Recovery
Open "FileManager" ---> Settings ---> "General settings" ---> access mode --> "root access mode"
go back and navigate to the root "/" open the file "user_lpm.rc" and check the content.
The same procedure is for "user_recovery.rc" if want to disable it as well in recovery mode.
Also there you can do other things like enable/disable sweep2wake or change the lcd brightness for LPM or recovery.
FAQ
Q: Is this Kernel 100 % Safe ?
A: Yes.
Q: Will this Kernel Overheat the Phone if I use Highest Settings ?
A: No, you can't do anything wrong. Your phone has hard- and software overheat protection.
Q: How to Revert all Changes Made by this Kernel ?
A: Flash latest 3-parted stock ROM with ODIN.
Q: How i can Tune this Kernel ??
A: Everytime you install or update this kernel you will face an red (demo) app "A2N Kernel Control..." open this app, and it'll redirect you to Google Play to get the full version (blue app).
Q: Can i use and Tune your Kernel with other Kernel Manager Apps ?
A: Yes, but you need first to unlock kernel with the A2N app full version.
Q: I've Installed the Full Version of the App, Will it Change any Kernel Settings by Default if i do not Change them ?
A: No, default app settings = default kernel settings.
Q: I've the Full Version of the A2N Kernel Control App, Do i still need the Demo Version of the App ?
A: Yes, there are some special features in-app-menu like "Fake Enforce" and debugging features for easy bug reports.
Q: How to Charge from 10 % to 100 % In just 1 h ?
A: E.g. set "AC Current Max" and "Maximum Charging Temperature" to the Max.
Q: Can i use your Kernel Control App with other Custom Kernels ?
A: No, it's not universal kernel manager app.
Q: My A2N App shows: "Please check your internet connection" - But i've good internet connection. - How to fix it ?
A: Settings --> network settings --> use private DNS server like "dns.adguard.com" - confirmed to work by user @Arnz09 - see his post here.
Q: My A2N App is Crashing after an Update, how to fix it ?
A: Re-install it. If it doesn't help, wipe dalvik-cache in recovery.
Q: How to Report Bugs ?
- Please DO NOT report bugs if you are:
--- using "unsafe" Freqs
--- not using the latest release !
--- not using Samsung stock ROM (based stock ROMs are custom ROMs !)
A: Open the red A2N Kernel Control demo app and check in-app-menu (3 dots) then "Debug" and then on "logcat and dmesg" if you faced an app crash or if some features didn't work.
If the phone rebooted randomly, then tap on "last_kmsg". You will find the logs in your internal storage. After that you can attach them here in your bug report, by clicking "Attach files".

Any download links for kernel?
Nice to have another kernel. Is it really stable yet?
where is build 27.10? I cant find it, only build p1 for now.
I'm actually writing in the Thread.. sorry..... Downoad link added.
20141028 Version, shall be the first very stable Kernel Version.. because of CPU / GPU Stock Voltages and freq.
10/27 never exists.. and 10/28 I'll upload it in 1 Hour....
Please be patient.. let me finish writing the Changelog..
Hi @ace2nutzer!
First of all, thank you very much for your work!!
Can you explain how to install kernel and ROM?? (i've never flashed a kernel... i have no idea...)
The Procedure is the same like Rox's CM11 ... just download the right Kernel / Build / ROM.. and copy this in your sdcard1 ... do not unpack it.. as .zip is fine. Then turn your Phone Off... And press together till it will vibrate: Volume up + Home + Power.
Chose now:
Wipe Cache
Go advanced
wipe dalvik cache
go back
install zip from sdcard
install zip from sdcard1
choose the Kernel and flash it..
go back and reboot system..
That's it !
If u like clean install, then choose wipe data instead of wipe cache ! But all your apps and settings are gone.
If u are running CM 11 .. then wipe data is not needed... even if u like to flash my ROM Builds... wipe cache and wipe dalvik is enough... but if u have 10.1 or 10.2 .. u need to wipe data first !
PS: Kernel for codina and codinap 20141028 online !!!!!!!!!!!
Another Great Kernel for Ace 2. NUFF SAID!
Keep it up ace2nutzer. Good job.
@ace2nutzer I cant falsh new build, because I cant go to cwm, I use p1 kernel from you and cant go to cwm, always blackscreen.
did u stuck at samsung boot logo ??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, just cant go to cwm, I get blackscreen. My device boot normally.
diference ?
what is the main diference between 3.2 and 3.0 that you make ?
how distinguish these two kernels ?
BTW we evolve so no need to make kernel for 4.3.x because all apps are optimizing for 4.4.x OS slowly so more need is to work on kernels I appreciate that ...
Will there be ART support in kernel ? so we can later adapt L 5.0 ?
Could you also include OndemandPlus governor? Its best on Galaxy Nexus devices. May be here as well.

Ok.. I' don't have this Problem... perhaps it is related to the famous s6d Driver
I've builded a odin Version for u.. it is the same kernel ----> 10/28 .. flash this with odin.. and tell me if u can enter in CWM...
I've uploaded it for u.. : codina_kernel_ODIN_cm11_20141028_ace2nutzer.tar - 10.99 MB
If not, i can do nothing.. but don't worry.. i can always do separate Odin Kernels.. then u can flash at this way my kernel updates.
An another way is over ADB... just check also if u have access with ADB.... just boot into CWM.. and even with black screen.. connect the Phone and start ADB.. try if u have access... u can do all the things with ADB.. that's all the same.. and u can even wipe cache and dalvik cache with FileManager.. all no problem
Good job @ace2nutzer
Gonna try it as soon as the f2fs support is ready
Is your ROM compatible with f2fs???

btw, if i flash this codina_kernel_ODIN_cm11_20141028_ace2nutzer.tar via odin will this kernel increase counter bin?
I can't enter CWM too. I wrote lots of post about that and no one really care about it.
I'll tell you what happened:
I bought my Ace II, stock recovery works great. I've installed temporary CWM and everything was ok. I've installed old CM11 TC and Nova versions and everything was ok.
When Chrono made his first kernel version with a CWM built in, i had the first black screen issue. Since there, i cannot enter any recovery (CM11 cwm, chrono cwm, stock cwm). Only TWRP works good but it can't mount external SD and i don't feel comfortable with it. I never had screen issue, never had a problem since now.
Solution: it randomly let me enter on recovery, but it's a pain in the ***.
I've tried to format everything, i also installed GB stock with stock repartition, nothing to do.
With this version i've tried lots of time but still cannot enter. Can you try changing CWM version? Maybe a older one, or just a different one. I can test it if you need help.
Actual situation: i've installed this kernel with your CM11, i had some bugs that i can fix formatting some partition, nothing bad. But i can't enter on recovery, so i have to flash stock version with odin -.- I suggest to make a stable version and then focus on those issues, i bet other users have them.
I've tried to flash kernel via Odin... Failed, dunno why
As you could see in our CM11 thread, there's a custom kernel that we've integrated in latest CM11 builds
Now as CM11 was stable, I decided to cut the kernel to seperate system unit - The new custom kernel
Now let's make a start

Post 5: Changelog
[NOTE] This kernel is just for SM-G313HZ only. For G313H/ML users, since our CM11 works with those phone models, you can try this kernel. NOT COMPATIBLE with SM-G313HN or SM-G313HU

What's new in this kernel versus stock CM11 one?
Upgraded to latest Linux mainline version (not yet, but it will)
Overclock support, up to 1,3GHz (HOT)
Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging (saves RAM)
Logcat toggle (enable/disable) through sysfs interface
zRAM with LZ4/ZLIB compressor, multiple zRAMs
New IO schedulers: ROW, DEADLINE, FIOPS, BFQ, ZEN, SIOPLUS (will be added more on future builds)
Governor: interactive, ondemand, userspace, performance, powersave, smartassv2, lulzactive2, intelliactive
zswap support (swap compression)
LZ4 kernel compression (CRYPTO, COMPRESS/DECOMPRESS,...)
F2FS support
Dalvik-cache on system partition (save internal storage space)
Something more!... will be continued
BUG(S):
For some users, camera is dead (here means not working)
Change zRAM size directly from userspace causes hard reboot immediately sometimes
How to post bugs
As you know, this is a kernel, so logcat is useless. We use "dmesg" to track what the kernel do and how it's done, what it's fault...
If you post logcat to a kernel dev, no helps. So now, a single rule: No logcats
To post bugs, please do this:
1. Make sure you have a computer running any Linux distros (e.g Ubuntu) (ignore this if you already have)
2. Plug your phone with USB cable plugged to computer
3. Open Terminal, type these (DO NOT MISS ANYTHING)
Code:
adb shell dmesg | tee dmesg.txt
The "tee" command will export your "dmesg" (driver messages) to your /home/<USER> folder (e.g from mine: /home/a1/dmesg.txt)
4. Post the full dmesg text logs to this thread
Download link & F.A.Q
Download link: Google Drive folder
F.A.Q (to be continued)
1. Can I include your kernel to my ROM?
A: Sure, you can. Because the kernel is completely open-source (due to GPL License), so no credits is needed
2. What's included in this kernel vs stock?
A: Check above
CHANGELOG
Release 1
Initial release
Release 2
Re-enabled zCache
Added KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging)
Fixed lags, underclocked to 1,4GHz and GPU to 300MHz
Reserved zRAM size to 90MB (explain later)
Re-enabled memory cgroups (better memory allocation)
Release 3
zswap revert back to LZO compression (you can change this through sysfs)
zRAM moved to block driver, also reverted to LZO compression by default (thanks to @psych.half)
Disabled zCache (this does nothing but lags)
Added new governors: smartassv2, lulzactive
zRAM now compresses 18% of RAM (this is the main cause of lags, and our device only have 512MB RAM, not much so multitasking only possible if we use ordinary swap)
ZSMALLOC moved to kernel mainline (ported from Linux 3.18)
Random reboots disappeared (yay!)
Minimum clock speed now 500MHz
Snappy compression algorithm, will be implemented on zRAM
Release 4
Switched from KSM to UKSM (Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging)
zRAM increased to 35% of RAM (161MB)
Logcat now can be disabled through sysfs interface
ROW IO scheduler as default
Increased IO readahead to 1024KB
....
Release 5
Decreased IO readahead to 128KB by default (this fixes massive lag as our device can't handle too many IO operations)
Fixed giant hole memory. Now every task managers shows correct results
Release 6
Re-compiled with Linaro 5.2 toolchain
Allow setting zRAM disksize, compressor and swappiness through build.prop
New governor: intelliactive
Release 7.1
Upgraded to Linux 3.10.20
New TCP algorithms: westwood, reno, bic, htcp, veno
Dalvik-cache on /system partition (CM-11.0 only) (significantly save internal storage space) (NEW!) (thanks to @ngoquang2708 for this idea)
Release 7.2
Upgraded to Linux 3.10.22
Release 8
Upgraded to Linux 3.10.31
(NEW!) Stock support
Support LZ4HC (high compression) for zRAM
/tmp folder added, in case some root apps need that and mounted as tmpfs
Improved memory management
Release 8.1
Added 250MHz minimum clock speed
zswap disabled by default (enable through build.prop by adding "ro.config.zswap.enabled=true")
Disabled unaligned memory access for faster memory operations
Release 8.2
Fix bootloop on CM12.1
Release 8.3
Upgraded to Linux 3.10.34
[CM-11.0] Switched dalvik-cache location to /cache to prevent ROM reinstalling when you want to wipe dalvik-cache, also fix app installation issue
Release 8.4
Maximum OC clock decreased to 1.3GHz (as 1.4GHz causes random crashes/reboots)
Added zlib compressor for zRAM, switched back to default lzo compressor
(AGAIN) zswap enabled by default
Multiple zRAMs are back, now is 2 zRAMs for better performance
[CM-11.0] Permanently mounted /system partition RW, moved dalvik-cache to /system partition (this fixes apps instalation issue, and because /cache partition is too small)
Can use on SM-G313HU?

Nope. G313HZ and HU are different hardwares. Installing this kernel would soft brick your device
@hendrulll @JeffersonCaf
Weird. The kernel really works with build 20160213. Why the hell it doesn't work with you guys? Or... I've to give a simple boot.img which is be able to flash over TWRP only?
You should see in "Kernel version", it was being built yesterday LOL

Ok i will flash that too
Can you give the boot.img?
Hmm, I still got soft brick with my device after installing your kernel, even if I install from build 20160213 after wipe everything, but when I try to flash @cleverior.ipul kernel a.k.a getux kernel its worked like a charm. Any reason?

You know what, his kernel is completely based on stock CM11, just adds a lower CPU frequency (1100MHz)
And new kernel build will be released after some minutes, just waiting for it to compiling and I'll release it as a boot.img (flash through TWRP)
This time it's completely compatible with CM11 build 20160213
New kernel build! Changes:
Re-enabled zCache
Added KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging)
Fixed lags, underclocked to 1,4GHz and GPU to 300MHz
Reserved zRAM size to 90MB (explain later)
Re-enabled memory cgroups (better memory allocation)
Boot image added to downloads section. Please choose the latest boot image to make sure you're in latest kernel build. Flash through TWRP recovery

Well it's working on SM-G313ML, but i noticed when the CPU frequency goes to 384 MHz the phone freezes
Edit: and some random reboots too.

Well, switch the min CPU freq to 600MHz in Performance Settings section, and tick "Set on boot" too
Edit: Random reboots due to the old build with 1,5GHz, the CPU voltage is too high, leads to the phone randomly reboots

Yeah it's working (SM-G313ML) but i noticed when the CPU frequency go to 500MHz the phone freezes (i've changed the min to 1GHz, but shows 768MHz on SetCPU ) and freezes too when change the governor to interactive, well the random reboots has dessapeared (yay!²) thx for all that work bro
