This Kernel is based off the sources of AndreiLux Perseus Kernel (alpha35).
If you consider to thank me, please also consider to thank him http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
This kernel only supports roms of android version 4.3 (sammy and aosp) and above!
if you were using this kernel on aosp based roms, and want to use another kernel, you need to reflash the rom, of course without any wipe, it's just to restore modified files
Features (changes compared to Perseus):
- merges samsung open source update12
- dual sound engine
- compiled with linaro gcc 4.8.3
- updated Linux Kernel base to 3.0.101
-zram, zsmalloc and lowmemorykiller updated from 3.9
- DevilQ cpu governor (default)
- block updated from Linux 3.3 (better i/o performance)
- row i/o scheduler updated from Linux 3.4
- fiops v2 i/o scheduler
- working for Aosp and Sammy at once (Big thx to Gokhanmoral for making this possible)
- Portet Ezekeel's Touchwake Feature (from nexus s)
- Oc up to 1.8 Ghz
- Backport from Linux 3.5 smp driver parts
- Wifi driver updated from note3
- backported zswap from linux 3.13 (this replaces zram now)
- backported cpu-boost driver
- possibility to set high/low power mode for wifi when screen is off
- LulzactiveQ cpu governor (from siyahkernel, thx again to Gokhanmoral)
- Hotplug Cpu Governor
- Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP
http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.2#head-1c3e71416a9fdc2f59c1c251a97963f165302b6e
- improve memcopy/memmove
- Using Voodoo Sound and Boeffla Sound
- LED Control by yank555-lu
- ExFat support (thx to samsung for opensourcing the driver)
if your rom is based off PAC, Bam, Fusion, ... :
IMPORTANT: As per notice of 01.11.2013, my CM10.2 kernels do NOT support proprietary Custom Rom frameworks anymore. So if your Custom Rom did not implement the generic framework class framework-2.jar but his own naming convention, you will receive a boot loop. Do not cry about this here but advise your Custom rom cooker to fix this. I will not change this ever again.
The most prominent custom kernels for CM will follow the same approach (aligned between Yank555, Googy, LordBoeffla, Psndna, Temasek and me).
So please do pass this message along to your favorite ROM devs.
If they don't fix their rom, it won't be compatible with custom kernels any more!

Dualboot Faq:
For more detailed instructions, please take a look at this thread from RichMd (thank you for it):
Dualboot Faq thread
Important: if you want to use this kernel for dualboot, i highly recommend flashing my recovery as well.
General information about the recovery:
dualboot menu.
in this menu you can:
* create the secondary system partition (needed to be run once, if you want to install a second rom)
Install-zip menu:
you'll notice there is a new menu, where to select what you want to flash.
if you select kernel, rom or recovery, the zip gets installed as it is.
if you select zipt to pri./sec. filesystem, it is selfexplanary
if you select rom to secondary fs, the zip gets modified to install to the sec. fs. IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IT TO PRIMARY FS LATER SOME TIME, YOU NEED TO REDOWNLOAD THE FILE!
if you select rom to primary filesystem, it gets installed there, and you can use the same zip later again.
How to install a second rom:
make sure you have already created ssecondary system partition! if not, go to dualboot menu and create it now (this may take some minutes)
The savest way is the way by using nandroids: if you don't have a nandroid already, create one now. Then just select your backup, and restore it to secondary filesystem.
you now should already be able to boot into primary or secondary rom (which are both the same now).
now you can install any other rom as primary.
if you want to install a new rom directly as secondary,
make sure there are no spaces in the filename!,
then just go to install zip. you'll notice there's a new menu at some point.
in this menu you can select where you want to install, and what type of file it is.
if you choose rom to sec. fs, your zip files itself gets modified to be installed to secondary fs. this may take a minute, because the files needs to get zipped again. Imporant: this file is permanently modified. if you think you need it later again, you should redownload it, because the modified one would always install as secondary.
installing a rom as primary, a zip to primary or zip to secondary fs, does not modify the zip.
Additional information:
roms coming with an aroma installer are hard to handle, as every dev can place own commands into it. It's impossible for me, to take care of every possibility. Because of this, it should be the best method, to flash a rom with aroma installer as primary one (and then move it to secondary, by using the nandroid method, if you want it to be secondary).

N7100 users please use the N7100 kernel
N7105, At&T + Tmo users please use the t0lte Kernel
Changelog:
02.01.2014:
+ merged mk9 source drop
+ fixed usb connection
+ fixed execution of some init.d scripts
+ changed calculation of next freq in pegasusq (based off a commit by stratosk to ondemand governor, which giot merged into linux 3.11)
+ fixed gyroscope sensor again
+ reverted Sec Oom Killer (maybe causeing some random reboots)
+ switched to latest linaro toolchain (4.8.3 of 12/2013)
26.12.2013:
+ fixed video recording on aosp roms
25.12.2013:
+ cleanly merged update13 (thx to yank555-lu), my previous merge was messed up
+ addded async fsync by htc (ported by faux123)
+ fixed sensors again
24.12.2013:
+ merged samsung update13
+ switched back to O2 compiling mode (smaller kernel image, maybe better stability)
+ hardware keys backlight options working for samsung roms as well now
+ re-added oc up to 2 ghz (for those whos device can handle this, mostly added for note2)
+ re-added devil kernel boot logo
+ updated adbd binary to get rid of countless errors in logcat
+ reverted some config changes which may have introduced gpu crashes
12.12.2013:
+ samsung 4.3 roms: added new additional mountpoint for external sdcard ( /extSdCard)
+ aosp 4.4.x roms: export path of external storage, needed by some apis
+ merged samsung update for note2 (contains fixes for memory management, mali driver, lowmem killer option SEC_OOM_KILLER, new modem driver, ...)
+ backported cpu boost driver
Code:
When certain bursty and important events take place, it might take a while
for the current cpufreq governor to notice the new load and react to it.
That would result in poor user experience. To alleviate this, the cpu-boost
driver boosts the frequency of a CPU for a short duration to maintain good
user experience while the governor catches up.
Specifically, this commit deals with ensuring that when "important" tasks
migrate from a fast CPU to a slow CPU, the frequency of the slow CPU is
boosted to be at least as high as the fast CPU for a short duration.
Since this driver enforces the boost by hooking into standard cpufreq
ADJUST notifiers, it has several advantages:
- More portable across kernel versions where the cpufreq internals might
have been rewritten.
- Governor agnostic and hence works with multiple governors like
conservative, ondemand, interactive, etc.
- Does not affect the sampling period/logic of existing governors.
- Can have the boost period adjusted independent of governor sampling
period.
+ improve swap per google's suggestion
+ enabled SEC_OOM_KILLER:
Code:
This enables 'Android-Style oom-killer'
The way to select victim by oom-killer provided by
linux kernel is totally different from android policy.
Hence, it makes more sense that we select the oom victim
as android does when LMK is invoked.
+ switched to zswap (backported from linux 3.13) + vnswap instead of zram
03.12.2013:
+ gpu control: voltages are applied as deltas internally (no noticable change for users, this just was needed for the second change below)
+ gpu control: if gpu freq. gets changed by user, only reset its matching voltage, all other voltages stay untouched.
+ reverted adb binary to the one from samsung's 4.3 release (seems to be the most compatible and should fix some mtp issues)
+ disabled: swap, zram, zcache, cleancache and frontswap to see if this fixes lags for some users
30.11.2013 part2:
+ fixed boot for omni rom again
29.11.2013 part2:
+ fixed apllying of custom gpu voltage
+ removed intellyplug driver (wasn't working properly, consumed much battery, made boot up take longer and it was unstable)
29.11.2013:
+ added support for omni rom (primary or secondary)
+ fixed: secondary rom no longer stuck at max freq.
+ n7100: fixed gps
+ gpu control: automatically set voltages according to changend freq (ported from yank555-lu), you can apply your own voltages after you have changed all freq (changing a freq, causes the voltages to be reset again)
recovery: bug fixes, to be sure never to wipe/backup/restore the wrong filesystem
24.11.2013:
+ partial updated mali driver from SEA update 1 (this also fixes a typo in original implementation)
+ properly applied dualsound engine support, boeffla and scoobidoo (unlike other devs, this implementation only allows one sound mod to be active at a time. if you switch on boeffla (in boeffla app for example), scoobidoo gets disabled automatically. if you turn on scoobydoo in deviltools (new option), boeffla gets disabled automatically)
+ fixed hardware keys backlight settings and added more options to Deviltools
+ small mdnie related corrections
+ added gpu control, needs to be set manually for now.
+ ARM: SMP: use a timing out completion for cpu hotplug
+ init.d support for sammy 4.3
+ dualboot support for all supported roms (i couldnt try this. be careful!)

*
* 0 - handled by ROM (newer CM10.2, default)
* 1 - handled by kernel (older CM10.2)
*
* /sys/class/sec/sec_touchkey/touch_led_on_screen_touch (rw)
*

It's the voodoo implementation which is named scoobydoo_sound. You can change the name of the sysfs to voodoo_sound, if you do the following :
echo 0 > sys/devices/virtual/misc/scoobydoo_sound_control/enable
echo voodoo_sound > sys/devices/virtual/misc/scoobydoo_sound_control/enable
After that you can use voodoo app

I had added it, but it was only working by using a wakelock, which means no deep sleep. Hence I thought, touchwake is more useful, as it only sets a wakelock for the time you specify it.
Maybe I could modify it, to act like s2w, if the time is set to unlimited. I'll check this

Nice job, going to have to give this one a whirl!! Have been following, lurking on the Thread that richMd started. :thumbup: dual boot
And I know this kernel, it's only going to get better & better with time
Thanx for all your hard work and time on this..

Working great on my N7100 Great work !
These kernels are provided as-is without warranty. I'm not responsible for any problem you may encounter with your phone or tablet or if your cat suddenly dies.
Although, don't expect support even if I will eventually help because I love cats.

CHANGELOGS IN #2 POST
You can tweak multiple options of this kernel with TricksterMod, FauxClock, Kernel Adiutor, Synapse(r500 and up, definitely recommended to get the most available options) or similar apps. (They are all available on the PlayStore)
Note to MultiROM users : don't use the kernel sharing feature. Flash the kernel on each rom instead. Also, it may take more time booting on secondary roms when using F2FS. Don't worry and wait for a bit

FAQ :
What are the differences between "Full" and "Pure" builds ?
The "Full" builds are using Aroma Installer so you can tweak various options at flash time. At the end of the process, a file containing your settings will be created (/sdcard/glitch-settings.conf). The "full" builds are also able to restore your settings from Aroma after a rom flash or wipe for example.
On the other hand, "Pure" builds aren't coming with Aroma and will try to restore your settings from your SDcard, or use a default profile if none is found. Both Full and Pure builds are coming with a custom Synapse support to let you tweak all the core options on the fly once booted.
If you flash a "Pure" build without a profile, the default preset will be applied. It's been tweaked for a good balance between performance, power consumption, stability and functionality for day to day usage. The default settings applied are as follow :
- 1.7GHz max CPU freq (from 1.5GHz stock) / 1GHz max CPU freq when the screen is off / "Balanced" L2 OC
- msm_hotplug driver in place of msm_mpdecision
- 450MHz max GPU freq (inline with other Snapdragon 600 devices - from 400MHz stock)
- Safe CPU and GPU undervolting for lower heat and power consumption
- Deadline I/O sched / Interactive CPU governor
- Doubletap to wake and fastcharge enabled (Doubletap to wake will slowly drain power during suspend, so disable it if not used)
- Everything else is kept stock
What do I have to do to use F2FS on one (or more) of my partitions ?
First, BACKUP your data if needed, especially if you're planning to use F2FS on DATA partition, as changing filesystem will wipe the partition. Change partition formats as needed in your recovery. It is NOT recommended to convert system partition as F2FS as it'll be slower than EXT4 to begin with (as the partition is mostly read only) and will alter compatibility with many roms (especially CM/LineageOS based). The last thing to do is to flash any Glitch kernel with a revision number past r150. You can restore your settings from SDcard if any, the install process will detect the partitions and modify the ramdisk accordingly so you can finally boot and use your fresh FS.
What L2/cache OC setting should I use ?
This setting will overclock bus speed and RAM so it's a bit delicate to tweak, yet it can give a nice "free" global performance boost. A simple test to check for stability is to run the camera app 3 or 4 times in a row while waiting for 10 seconds between each launch. If your device freezes, it's unstable ! It's also the only setting you can't change on the fly once booted, either from Synapse or sysfs, and requiring a reflash (using Aroma or changing the value in /sdcard/glitch-settings.conf).
Let me give you some details about the available settings so you can choose wisely :
Stock (1.13GHz-4.26GBps) is the regular, out of the box, non OC setting.
Improved (1.19GHz-4.26GBps) is the same as "ElementalX" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Balanced (1.22GHz-4.66GBps) is the same as "Ultra" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Fast (1.35GHz-4.66GBps) is a nice jump over "Balanced", yet stable for most devices. A kind of sweet spot.
Extreme (1.43GHz-4.80GBps) is were most users will start to get issues. Provides a great boost if stable.
Glitchy (1.49GHz-4.80GBps) pushes your hardware to the limits. Will be unstable for most devices.
Thanks to everyone helping me to debug and find new useful things to integrate !
Without all of you, this kernel wouldn't be !

Latest release's changelog with words for humans :
14/09/2017 - r574 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.08;
- Added touchscreen-calibration fix patch by parrotgeek1;
Previous changes below :
17/07/2017 - r572 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
11/07/2017 - r571 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
29/06/2017 - r570 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.05.
03/06/2017 - r566 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Changed the behaviour of the permissive/not permissive switch to either force permissive or keep rom default (instead of forcing enforcing before) to prevent issues with some implementations;
- Added a service that restarts GMS (Google Mobile Services) post boot to fix memory leak/battery drain linked to them - Curently working in permissive mode only (like init.d and some advanced Synapse settings);
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 6.3.1-2017.05.
07/05/2017 - r565 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Added a simple check for the MPDecision service starting mechanism used by your rom : If it's using the same trigger as LineageOS (init.flo.power.rc), you'll be able to enable/disable the service at will after boot. If it's using a different trigger, the binary will be nuked the old way (renamed to mpdecision_bck) if you're using the in-kernel msm_hotplug driver (effectively preventing you to play with it after boot). It's not a solution that pleases me, but it will fix cases of both hotplug drivers loaded at the same time on non-LOS-based roms, and that's all that counts for now.
14/04/2017 - r564 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Corrected HZ reference in touchscreen driver.
30/03/2017 - r563 :
- Fix potential touchscreen inconsistencies on some panel revisions
- Fix gesture switch (S2S/S2W/timeout)
27/03/2017 - r561 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Backported high-resolution support for sched-clock;
- Fixed CPU detection on subsystem_restart;
- Make rpm clocks sleeping clocks;
- Pushed updates from franco kernel regarding GPU, CPU freq and video;
- Added Zen I/O scheduler (pretty nice sched to say the least);
- Enabled I/O is busy flag for msm_hotplug driver by default (boosts CPU freq during heavy I/O load -> big smoothness gains in many apps and games);
- Added compiler fixes and optimizations from alesaiko (breakfast kernel);
- Moved to latest Linaro GCC 6.3.1 compiler (as the changes above fixed high power consumption issues on GCC5+);
- Consolidated Synapse support. The path of the generated config file is now /data/synapse instead of ramdisk to keep it safe during rom upgrades and reboots. If you get a "No UCI support" message on first Synapse launch, just kill the app and relaunch it. It'll not happen again after that unless you wipe data or I'm forcing a regen in a future update.
- Fixed init.d injection not using the correct path for busybox since a few releases and updated the execution process to N standards;
- Changed the way we get rid of mpdecision to prevent the service from starting in the init process instead of renaming the binary. This enables the possibility to enable or disable mpdecision on the fly after boot, even if using msm_hotplug as default hotplug driver.
- Fixed missing options in Synapse;
- Added various smaller performance patches and optimizations as well as a few more variables to play with for nerdz and lolcats (see github commits);
- Tweaked debugging config;
12/03/2017 - r544 :
- Sync with latest LineageOS 14.1
- Disabled backlight dimmer by default - Added a note to Aroma installer about potential issues with some panel revisions
23/12/2016 - r543 :
- Sync with latest CM14.1
18/12/2016 - r542 :
- Enable RPFILTER (CM14.1 tethering fix)
05/12/2016 - r541 :
- SElinux switch now works on boot without needing root access. As a result, also removed related post-boot script hooks
- Added prebuilt config file for Synapse for faster launch and fix possible error on first launch (clear Synapse data if you get issues)
04/12/2016 - r540 :
Due to some of the changes in this build, restoring settings from sdcard backup (by flashing Pure Edition or restoring through Aroma) may lead to different settings being applied depending on what you set before. It is strongly suggested to use the Full installation at least once to update your settings or delete glitch-settings.conf on the root of your sdcard before flash to use the default preset.
- Post CM14.1 merge cleanup pass. It was definitely needed ! Including, but not limited to :
- Removed Lazyplug and Intelliplug hotplug drivers (due to conflicts leading to performance issues)
- Removed Dynamic Fsync / Added switch to disable Fsync (after corrupting ~15 installations with DynFsync, I don't feel like it's worth the slight I/O perf boost)
- Replaced Showp1984's DT2W by flar2's S2W/S2S/DT2W (the touchscreen issues I faced with it aren't reproducible anymore)
- Removed LZ4 and use XZ compression instead
- Removed WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT (couldn't see a measurable gain with it enabled)
- Removed ROW ioshed
- Rollback'd to older Intellidemand governor- Reworked settings application and restoration system to work with CM14.1/without SuperSU and load it early during boot by init hooking (CM14.1 PCC livedisplay related race condition "fix" included). Note : MultiROM users, you may want to disable MultiROM menu if you have it enabled to further reduce the chances to trigger the issue (completely fixed it on my side). Feel free to report your findings on the matter.
- Added flar2's ElementalX governor
- Updated default profile (the one you get while flashing Pure package or using restoration option in Aroma without sdcard backup)
- Updated thermal profiles
- Updated available options in Aroma
- Updated busybox to 1.25.1 YDS and moved from /sbin to the more convenient and standard /system/xbin
- Updated Selinux switches to work with more roms (now working on CM14.1)
- Moved Synapse files from /data/synapse to /res/synapse in ramdisk
- Updated Synapse presets
- Updated Synapse settings (Aroma installer will give more gestures-related options though, at least for now)
29/11/2016 - r534 :
This kernel will only work with AOSP 7.x and latest CyanogenMod 14.1 based roms. If you get incorrect colors and slow UI, rollback to r533 CM.
- Rebased using CM14.1 tree
- Updated color controls to mimic CM's PCC implementation (Thanks @flar2)
07/11/2016 - r533 :
- Added SDCardFS support
- Fix for CVE-2016-3903
- Fix for CVE-2016-3934
- Fix for CVE-2016-7117
- Added LazyPlug switch and settings to Synapse (hotplug tab)
- Added DT2W switch to Synapse (misc tab)
- Fix GPU voltage range formatting in Synapse
- Fixes regarding power efficiency
- Contextual fixes and speedups
- Now building CM variant of the Nougat kernel too. AICP is the first N rom on this device to require a CM compatible kernel.
14/09/2016 - r530 :
- Modified rom injection/flash time mods logic to be more robust and universal. Fixes inconsistent boot or even bootlooping on hybrid F2FS roms like CyanogenMod or PureNexus THIS CHANGE MAY FORCE YOU TO REFLASH YOUR ROM TO BE ABLE TO BOOT (even on a non-hybrid rom - no wipe required)
- Fixed settings not applying after setting them through Aroma/glitch-settings.conf
- Security patch to avoid invalid access to ashmem area
- Security patch for vulnerability CVE-2016-2059
- Removed deprecated binary injection code
- Default thermal presets calibrated for better efficiency and performance (they were too aggressive in r520)
- Little naming change for the builds. Full is still "Full", but "Restore" is now "Pure". Pure edition is now fully standalone and doesn't require a previously generated profile from Full edition (but will gladly restore it as before if found during install). It can be fully tweaked through config file and/or Synapse like Full edition.
- Nougat build "Full edition" now has a Nougat themed splash screen for Aroma
- Synapse presets are now working. Make sure to press apply when Synapse comes back if you want to keep it ! (Make sure to clear Synapse data after first boot to force a regeneration !)
- Small things you won't notice
24/08/2016 - r520 :
- Rebase from latest AOSP sources
- Synapse support with many more features and personnalization available than ever before ! Aroma settings are a joke compared to what you'll have in Synapse. Don't flash UKM on top by the way, and make sure to clear Synapse data if you've flashed one of the previews. Even more to come soon.
- Updated Neobuddy89's msm_limiter driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Updated Neobuddy89's state_notifier driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Moved to Faux123's Intelli-thermal driver
- Added some memutils optimizations and more for performance
- Updated Xbox One gamepad driver
- Removed loads of dead code and buggy merges
- Switched to Linaro 4.9.4 toolchain - After weeks of testing, my tab runs cooler, stabler, and longer than with 5.x for an invisible performance difference. Worth it !
10/08/2016 - Preview r516 is available here. More options available in Synapse which is now also enabled with the "full" build, merged android-6.0.1_r0.105, and various other tweaks for speed and power savings. Full changelog here.
04/08/2016 - A preview (r513) is available here. Synapse part still needs some work. Notably, some hotplug drivers options are missing and you can't apply presets. The kernel itself should be stable enough for day to day usage.
12/07/2016 - r499 :
- Fix for glitch settings not applying if the rom doesn't use the init.trace.rc file (Dirty Unicorns is one of them)
- Sync fstab with latest cm13 (may fix usb otg on cm13 based roms in some specific configurations)
11/07/2016 - r478 r498 :
- Synced source up to android-6.0.1_r0.98 changes (latest)
- Getting ready for rebase and Synapse-compatible release
- Removed deprecated libs from r478 installer (fixes setperm errors on some custom/recent roms)
- Fixed CM compatibility
10/12/2015 - r412 :
- Merged with android-6.0.1_r0.1 changes
- PowerHAL patch to fully disable touchboost calls when Qualcomm MPdecision isn't used. This gets rid of the touchboost log spam and (small) overhead.
- Updated F2FS
- Installer scripts fixes and cleanups
- Added back CM build - untested
02/12/2015 - r410 :
- Updated base to linux 3.4.110
- Merged with android-6.0.0_r0.1 changes
- Added Neobuddy89's MSM Limiter driver, enabling max/min/suspend frequencies tweaking on the fly. No more need to reflash for that (/sys/kernel/msm_limiter/ for who's interested). Also added his state notifier driver for further tweaking.
- Removed MSM Sleeper as it's covered by MSM Limiter already
- Changed how settings are applied (moved from init.d script to service) to prevent permission denied issues (Thx Flar2). Due to changes to the way your settings are handled, it's recommended to make a full installation. Settings aren't retrocompatible with previous Glitch kernels !
- Performance and stability improvements by removing coresight from Adreno drivers and better CPU management/scaling through MSM Limiter
- Aroma slight changes to reflect internal changes (note : CPU uV is now applied for both 384MHz step and lower ones)
15/09/2015 - r361 :
- Fixed no mobile network issue on DEB
- Disabled unnecessary debugging
13/09/2015 - r360 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.17 changes

- Updated F2FS
- Updated BFQ to v7r8
- Added experimental Nvidia relaxed power savings
- More fixes and various optimizations regarding performance and efficiency
09/09/2015 - r353 :
Note : CM related issues some are encountering aren't adressed with this update. CM team is breaking more and more stuff while using AOSP bases for the kernel and I won't make a CAF based version again. The updated toolchain and added fixes in this release may or may not help, but I won't provide support for CM related issues anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Fixed SELinux switches (You'll need to use the restore function in full package or just the restore package to switch between permissive and enforcing modes. Enabling it in glitch-settings.conf isn't enough for it to work.)
- Disabled Android Logger by default for less overhead
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.2.0 with LTO support
- Tiny fixes
02/07/2015 - r350 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.13 changes
- Fixed missing governors from previous release
- Added native support for Xbox One controller from Linux 3.17
- Fixed a potential instability case in idle state
- Updated base to linux 3.4.108
- Under the hood fixes
- CM and AOSP kernels are now sharing the exact same base for better stability and maintenance
08/05/2015 - Hotfix - r344 :
- Rolled back various GPU driver patches to fix some Chrome scrolling lockups and possible RR linked to the underlying bug linked to them
- Send enforcing=0 to kernel command line if you're using the permissive ramdisk mode (may fix boot on some non-standard roms - AICP still not booting for me though.. If you know why I'm all ears)
- Modify fstab.flo file in ramdisk even when using CM kernel (enables some non-standard CAF based roms with no "multi-mount fstab" support to boot - it mustn't exist, but better safe than sorry)
08/05/2015 - r343 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.10 changes
- Removed UKSM
- Disabled KSM
- Removed transparent compression support
- Replaced Flar2's S2W/DT2W by showp1984's DT2W
- Various F2FS changes from arter97 and Jaegeuk Kim
- Various backported drivers from arter97
- Updated Intelli-Plug
- Cleaned up base and bumped back to latest 3.4.y (3.4.107 atm)
- Enabled back kernel mode NEON
- Removed PIE bypass patch from Aroma
- Added Motorola's Qualcomm optimized memutils
- Added BFQ v7r7 ioshed
- Updated Intelliactive governor
- Fstab patching changes to fix boot on some non-standard roms
- Updated Random
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.1.0 with LTO support
- Added LTO optimizations
19/04/2015 - r330 :
After breaking my partitions while attempting to improve F2FS mounting time, I was forced to format everything. After my backup restoration and system reinstallation, r327 F2FS implementation is now booting faster than EXT4 on my tab (with mounting times of ~5sec versus 30+ before). So I've then decided to revert the planned F2FS changes for r330 (which made it 1sec faster before formatting, but much slower after) as it didn't make sense. If F2FS mounting time is bothering you, fully formatting your partitions and restoring your data will give you a nice performance reward in return.
- Added flush_merge to F2FS mount options for faster flushing
- Added "transparent compression" support (CM sync)
- Added back optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
- Enabled back unaligned memory access
- Switched to SIO ioshed (from ROW) at boot time as well as others small tweaks for possible further boot time improvements and smaller file size
16/04/2015 - r327 :
- Merged with android-5.1.0_r0.10 changes
- Updated F2FS implementation using Motorola's sources
- Cleaned up permissive ramdisk patches (fixed related SODs with it enabled)
- Introducing "restore" builds. You can now update your Glitch setup without Aroma using these builds. Your settings will be restored from the SDcard backup made by a previous Glitch installation, so if you don't have a "glitch-settings.conf" file in the root of your SDcard, please use a full build first to generate it ! The "full" builds are using Aroma as before.
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.03
07/03/2015 - r320 :
THIS UPDATE WILL NEED YOU TO REINSTALL YOUR ROM AND TO MAKE A FULL INSTALLATION OF THE KERNEL IF YOU'RE COMING FROM A PREVIOUS GLITCH RELEASE
- Updated F2FS implementation and bumped to latest
- Various scheduler optimizations - Better hardware use means potentially lower max OC !
- Improved boot times (At least with EXT4. F2FS mounting time feels a bit longer with the updated F2FS implementation)
- Reverted Slimbus OC as some users got issues with it
- Removed some ramdisk mods interfering with permissions
- F2FS/EXT4 detection script rewrite to preserve rom's fstab structure
- Added another permissive switch to disable SELinux enforcing (it will be enabled if you tick the permissive patch in aroma)
- Removed wifi patch from Aroma as it's now useless with lollipop
- Added some security patches from CM source
- CM kernel rebased on Glitch AOSP (again) - Looks good after a few days of intensive use
- A few little glitchy tweaks
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.02
16/01/2015 - r307 :
- Disable wake gestures by default
- Fix for a little color tweaking bug
- Updated CAF variant for CM12 support & sync with Glitch AOSP r307
Note : r307-CM is NOT compatible with CM11. It must be used with CM12 only.
12/12/2014 - r306 :
- Added vmalloc setting to command line to fix some video playback issues. Thanks to @szale9001 for pointing this out !
16/11/2014 - r303 :
- Added Chainfire's partial root ramdisk patch by default
- Added cernekee's PIE patch to Aroma (allows third party native executables to run, lowering security. Fixes various apps)
- Added SELinux permissive + sepolicy ramdisk patch to Aroma (enables full root access but lowers security. Fixes various apps)
15/11/2014 - r300 :
- Updated AOSP kernel with lollipop-release - BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH 4.4.x due to GPU driver changes !
- Removed interactive GPU governor
- Merged GPU patches from codeaurora & franciscofranco for better responsiveness and battery life
- Cleanups
26/09/2014 - r226-disabledAVS :
- r226 variant with disabled AVS for users with recurrent instability issues. Higher power consumption than standard build when used without uV.
Follow up to this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55566837&postcount=1943
22/09/2014 - r226 :
- Added experimental support for Kali Pwn Pad (as it was requested by some - Thanks for the list Flar2 )
- Disabled compaction (a little higher RAM consumption for higher performances - Doesn't seem to affect multi-tasking in a negative way)
- Disabled MSM hardware adaptive voltage scaling (should fix the last remnants of SoDs/RR happening for some even on other kernels - May lead to higher power consumption) I will make a test build with it disabled for who wants to try in the next days
- Updated Faux Sound to 3.6
- Enabled more TCP congestion-avoidance algorithms
- Enabled NFS support
- Moved exfat to built-in instead of module
- Added black magic

- Updated toolchain to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.2 2014.09
- Echo touch firmware version to logfile (/data/local/tmp/glitch-kernel.log)
10/09/2014 - r220 :
AOSP kernel only (CAF kernel will follow as soon as possible) :
- Rebase using latest Google source (fixing various bugs like SoD, random shutdown, slowdowns etc.) and staying on 3.4.0 base for now to prevent issues til I'm able to fix them all with latest Linux upstream
- Aroma Installer rework for less pages on fresh installation mode, similar to Flar2's presentation
- Added new options to Aroma installer
- Updated Flar2's S2W/DT2W system, enabling gesture support
- Replaced Showp1984's MPDecision by Fluxi's MSM Hotplug driver - new default
- Updated Faux123's Intelliplug hotplug driver as well as intellidemand & Intelliactive governors
- Updated/fixed Smartmax and Smartmax EPS (extreme power saving) governors
- Updated FauxSound
- Updated Flar2's msm_sleeper
- Added a backlight dimmer function
- Cleaned up/removed a vast amount of old patches
- Added release number to internal kernel naming so you know what version you're on
- Added a wlan firmware override setting in Aroma. This is basically the same as using 4.4.4 PRIMAtor to enable 4.4.3 or lower support or to fix wifi on a few roms that are using older wifi blobs
- Slight tweaking here and there
- Removed kernel-based NEON support - Needs more testing
- Switched to LZ4 kernel compression - Higher kernel size but faster boot times
- Updated toolchain to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.2 2014.08
05/07/2014 - r151 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Base update from Linux 3.4.86 to 3.4.96
- Removed some unnecessary Aroma pages for faster navigation
- Removed Qualcomm-Optimized Dalvik/Bionic from Aroma to prevent users from softbricks when used on incompatible ROM
- Added F2FS support
- Added F2FS partition detection script to modify ramdisk accordingly at flash time. You will need to launch Aroma installer each time you change FS on supported partitions (DATA, CACHE & SYSTEM) to refresh the ramdisk configuration (you can restore your glitch settings to do that btw, no need to clean install). You can use all of them as F2FS, or just one, you decide.
- Enabled Intelliactive governor
- Added CTCaer's patch to restore forced TS firmware update sysfs
05/06/2014 - r147 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Merged with 4.4.3
- Base update from Linux 3.4.82 to 3.4.86
- Switch to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.1 toolchain
25/02/2014 - r142 :
- Base update from Linux 3.4.79 to 3.4.82
- Added 81 MHz CPU frequency
- Updated ondemand governor
- Switch to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.8.3 toolchain
- Disable input-boost by default in Aroma
07/02/2014 - r140 :
- Update to Linux 3.4.79
- Switch to XZ compression
- Add kernel mode NEON support as well as NEON accelerated AES & XOR implementations
- Fix CPU load miscalculation
- jbd2 and ext4 optimizations
- Add max screen off frequency support - Thanks to Flar2 (if disabled in Aroma, changing frequency in apps won't have any effect)
- Add UKSM 0.1.2.2 support
- Add dynamic management of dirty page writebacks
- Enable Wiimote HID support
- Enable USB printer support
- Bugfixes
Aroma installer overhaul :
- Reworked installation process to be clearer and more customizable
- Added an automatic backup of your settings to the root of your internal SDcard
- Added a restoration mode to get your settings from internal SDcard backup back on any rom (cross-compatible with Glitch kernel variants)
- Renamed /system/etc/settings.conf to glitch-settings.conf to make it more obviously glitchy
- Removed the need to set CPU OC, L2/cache OC and auto-uV again when keeping previous settings (now reading it from your settings at flash time. Note : editing this part in /system/etc/glitch-settings.conf requires a reflash using the "already glitched" option)
- Added Qualcomm optimized Dalvik/Bionic libraries into the installer (bionic only on CM variant) so you can install/restore them with the kernel
- Added I/O scheduler, CPU governor, read-ahead buffer size, fast charge, max screen off frequency and maximum multi-core power savings to available settings
- Fixed how the min CPU clock is applied to make it more robust and work better with governors
- Fixed how the min CPU freq uV is applied to make it work independently of the min freq (by subtracting the uV amount to the original voltage instead of forcing plain values) - Also, make it capable of setting uV for all freqs for future use.
- Changed the auto-uV menu to reflect the internal changes
- Fixed some permissions issues
- Added hotplug driver check so it's possible to restore it as well from settings without interference
- Change theme
25/01/2014 - r132 :
Performance and stability improvements :
- Enhanced memory management
- Lower CPU overhead
- Improved I/O speed in many cases
- Improved ondemand governor behavior
- Fix a memory leak
- Fix some msm_bus bugs
- Fix a false error report in Aroma log
CM kernel only :
- Fixed the "black caterpillar" bug
- Improved GPU performance consistency
23/01/2014 - r130 :
- Faux123's LCD color control driver updated to Flo version (thanks to him to make it opensource), adding gamma control. (You'll need FauxClock to tweak it - color is still available from TricksterMod)
- Some GPU driver related bugfixes
- Implemented LoUIS API for cache maintenance operations
- Update base to Linux 3.4.77
- Revert some CAF updates (fixes some L2 corruption that could lead to random reboots / black screens)
- Battery life improvements
- Some cleaning
CM kernel only :
- Fixed color control
- Fixed random heavy GPU performance drop
- Changed memory allocation to be in line with CM
- Changed naming in Aroma to differentiate from "pure" AOSP
Older changelogs are available here
Looks like a nice kernel that will really show what this device can do

Thanks.
That's what I'm trying to make. And I *think* (may be wrong though) I'm the only one yet using a fully working GPU OC implementation on flo kernel. It's an adaptation of Galaxy S IV's (i9505) GPU OC code from Team Hydra.
It seems 627 MHz is around the max possible with stock voltage, probably even 600 MHz for many. I'll see what it can do with a bit more juice.
Other things to do : add more frequency steps for the CPU, lock the default freq, and make the L2/bus speed configurable.
After that I think we'll be able to push the thing to the limits if we want to.
Thanks for your hard work I'm going to try it on pacman ROM I'll let you know how it goes

I wanna show u my settings, I use trickster, so sound and faux kernel app to get the results I need was going to show you pictures but all the sudden XDA premium has no picture button I'm a little lost their. Touch responses phenomenal and just like faux kernel the sound is this did really well I can finally listened stock sound sucks on this product even know what has supposedly way better speakers, thanks to people like you I can actually hear the videos I watch without headphones now. Thank you very much I've been using it for about 5 minutes swimming around on everything and everything smooth as hell

The problem exists on the free app as well ^^
Try scrolling up and down away from the images and back on them, it'll eventually show up at some point.
Thanks for your work. I'll give this kernel a try.
Coming from N4 motley kernel I'll love to use init.d scripts to set up color "calibration", sleep states, etc. What do you think about implementing / documenting such features for your kernel?
Otherwise, let me see if I need something. Hm, what about USB OTG and ntfs/f2fs support?
USB OTG is working out of the box. NTFS/F2FS support isn't. I'll look into adding them =)
Your idea is nice, I'll think about it.
Thanks =)
Do you plan on adding Faux's color mod? I will give this kernel a shot and report back.

I am running the kernel right now. All I can say is "wow".
You did a fantastic job cherry-picking the best features from various kernels. I notice a slight increase in smoothness compared to Faux's kernel plus D2W and all the other great features you added so I think this may be my new main kernel.
I will use it over the next few days and report any issues I find and how the stability is. Thanks a lot for your work.
Edit: Also, I am running CleanROM and everything seems fine.
Thank you, so it may work with any rom then ! Good to know CM didn't break too much stuff leaving AOSP base.
sleep to wake, doubletap to wake disabled by default? don´t need it xD
need a fast stable kernel and especially want to disable fsynch. if u run a stable rom it justs takes useless power xD
i´m pretty new to the nexus7 like the most of us . is that kernel stable?
atm i´m using faux´s, also used franco. i dunno, but on franco´s i couldnt change gpu govenor and the 3dmark benchmark was about 3000points, stock is about 6000-7000. pretty strange.
i am a pretty minimalistic user, want best batterylife/performance ratio. only using psx, best rom for me
i think i´ll try that kernel
edit: what does "Snake Charmer" do?
edit2: read s2w stuff enabled by default, can it be disabled via trickster?
My N7 is running great with your kernel. Let's see what about perfomance and stability in two or three days. After checking and playing with trickster I miss a kind of dynamic fsync and a color calibration interface - compared to N4 m+ (motley) kernel.
Perhaps you can implement some upstream changes / patches directly from CAF or newer kernels.
It would be nice if you post some information about L2 speed hack, etc. So that everyone can see what this hacks do.

Just a heads up for those who want to disable swipe2wake or doubletap2wake, you can turn them off with the Trickster app but I did not find a setting in the FauxClock app.

I very much hope that in version 3.0 come DT2W.
Thank you for the work.
@akashi23
Thanks for confirmation,
@Dreamstar
In there any downside of using this kernel on plus(snapdragon 616) version.
DreamStar
I realized something, after a while the cpu governors and schedulers change by default again, same thing with cpu frequencies if changed, I realized that a lot of times also do not appear cpu governors in the kernel managers.
Sorry for bad English.
Please also add USB fast charging. Thanks
And if there's any chance make kernel working on custom ROM too.
And also try to add under clocking/over clocking voltage, CPU.

* Brief ideology of this kernel *
This kernel, if you plan on using it out-of-the-box it is battery life oriented, but also with a few tweaks to be fast and stable, just to give best daily usage results. The best part of it is that you can tweak it how you please depending on how far you want to go. You can choose over clocking CPU or/and GPU to get really good benchmark results, apply tweaks to get the best battery life/performance with low-end and high-end gaming or just to save even more battery, your choice. All this by using simple applications like Spectrum, a bit more complex ones, like Synapse or choose an even more advance way with shell scripts / terminal.
As the project evolves more features will be added, even as requests if properly motivated.
Before releasing an update, i'll make sure that it's properly tested so that you wont get bricked devices. This usually takes a lot of time, so please be patient. If some features are considered unstable they will be marked as experimental.

FAQ:
Q: How to flash kernel?
A: Download (download link in first post) and flash the zip file from TWRP Recovery. Wiping dalvik cache and cache when coming from other kernels is highly recommended.
Q: Phone is stuck with a black screen after I wiped dalvik cache and/or cache. After I waited a while it just rebooted. Is that a bug?
A: This is not a bug it's actually a feature. This is normal because the kernel startup script checks the dalvik cache to be created correctly. If it wasn't created correctly it checks again after 1 min, just to be sure, this is why you have a black screen. Don't force reboot, just wait! If Dalvik cache isn't still created correctly after 1 min, it will reboot and create Dalvik again, it will keep doing this until everything is ok. This can happen even 3 times upon boot. If more than 3 reboots happen then you have a ROM issue.
Q: How to configure the Kernel?
A: Easy way is with Spectrum app from Google Play Store. Synapse for more advanced users. Init.d scripts or Terminal/SManager or similar apps, for experts.
Q: I have issues with notifications, slow notifications while screen is off?
A: Disable battery app optimization for Google Play Services.
Q: YouTube videos are not playing, why? / Why am I getting random reboots (if using 99killer script)?
A: Remove the /system/etc/init.d/99killer script and reboot.
Q: Why not start with version 1.0 ?!
A: Because versions 1.0-1.3 were not released to the public and were tested in private by a group of dedicated people.
Q: What is NFS version?
A: Need for Speed version of the Phantom Kernel - higher and unsafe OC of CPU & GPU possibility. Only for Oreo versions.
Q:What is Smart Screen Dimming - SSD version?
A:It's a slightly modified version of this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/amoled-pwm-s7-edge-t3517739
Q: I had a freeze/random reboot after I changed settings in Synapse, what can be the cause?
A: It can be a lot of things, but mostly an incompatibility in your chosen settings, if it's kernel related at all. The most known common things that are the cause of this can be Exynos-CPU-hotpluger (disable it), LMK parameters for Oreo version only (reset to defaults) or Doze settings (use stock). If any of these doesn't get rid of the reboots try resetting Synapse and wipe cache and dalvik cache. You can always post logs or details of your issue, to get help.
Q: After each boot i get my screen locked after a brief moment of using my phone and my phone vibrates 3 times, is this a bug?
A: This isn't a bug. The locking of the screen it's a workaround i added, to eliminate a bug where GPU utilization get's stuck. This will remain until i find a better way to solve this. There 3 vibrations is from the PK boot script telling you it has finished execution.
Q: Bixbi button remapper isn't working with Bixby button, how can I fix it?
A: Install Synapse and enable Android logging. (Thanks to @AiRMaX-360 for finding this fix).
Q: What is KernelSU - superuser module and how to get root access without Magisk?
A: Here you can find KernelSU project. This module can be used if root access is needed without Magisk. To get root access you need to create an empty file into /sdcard/Phantom-Kernel/ folder with the name "PK.su" and reboot. Remove the file and reboot to revoke root access.
PS:
* NOT all apps will work with it.
** This also has no app that control access so don't leave it always enabled!
*** If Magisk or other su is found, then that root access method will be used.

Introduction
Ahoy everyone,
I decided to share my personal custom kernel with all of you. The main reason i started developing this kernel is to balance performance / battery / security and also add features.
I believe i have included most of the usually requested features. If your feature is not included you can ask for it and i will try to include it as long as you don't ask for ETA's. I am a student and i do this on my spare time.
Pie kernel is based on LineageOS 16.0 sources for beryllium and is compiled
with SdClang which is Qualcomm's LLVM Compiler for extra performance. [EOL] - Final Version is 3.1
10 kernel is based on LineageOS 17.1 source for beryllium and is compiled
with latest sources from LLVM for Clang 11.
So let's jump to the interesting part!

Notes
I bear absolutely no responsibility. If you brick your device. If you are not sure what a kernel is, how to flash it or how to restore your phone in case something goes wrong then do NOT proceed.
Moreover, you should flash this kernel only over the stock kernel that came with your Rom.

Version 1.7
Ahoy Ladies and Gentlemen.
Time for new version!
Changelog:
1) Upstreamed to Linux Version 4.9.135 - Better Security / Stability / Performance
2) Merged ext4 upstreamed commits - Better System Performance
3) Merged Lineage 16.0 Upstream commits - Better Stability / Battery / Performance
4) Now Compiling with Uber Toolchain 6.4.1 - Better Battery/System Performance
5) Added Zen v2 I/O Scheduler - Better I/O Performance
6) Added TCP Congestion Algorithms (bic, cdg, cubic, westwood, htcp, hstcp, hybla, vegas, scalable, lp, veno, yeah, illinois) default is cdg - Better Internet Performance
7) Improved msm_performance - Better Performance
8) Enabled USB Fastcharge up to 900 mAh - Note (1)
9) Added blu_schedutil - Note (2)
10) Makefile Optimizations - Better Performance
11) Added LED Notification Control- Note (3)
12) Enabled LZ4 Compression Algorithm for Zram - Better Battery / Performance
13) Now Sphinx comes Pre-Configured out of the box for balance
14) Support F2FS File System - If Rom Supports it -
Notes:
Note 1: This is USB Fast Charge which means it works ONLY when you charge from a computer. The default output was 500 mAh and now it's 900 mAh (which is the maximum a usb port can support)
Note 2: This is a new EAS Governor ported from blu_spark Kernel for OnePlus 6. Currently it is almost the same with the schedutil governor from Pixel 3
Note 3: Many of you made some comment about the LED Notification being brighter etc. Now you can configure it yourself. THOUGH there is not interface for that in ANY App, you need to do it yourself.
Specifically:
Code:
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_fade (rw)
0 : blink
1 : fade (default)
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_intensity (rw)
0 : stock intensity
1-100 : 0% to 100% of stock intensity
Note: Does only work for static led, not fading/blinking !!!
* /sys/class/leds/white/device/led_speed (rw)
0 : stock speed
1 : continuous notification light
2-12 : 2 = very slow to 20 = very fast
I have listened to your requests to bring Sphinx to Poco and did everything in my powers to satisfy most of you and ensure this version is stable so if you enjoy this version don't forget to buy me a coffee
Cheers :highfive:
Wow, Amazing. Can i flash this on stock miui beta 8.11.1 also
Great work.
Edit :
Just installed , super smooth. Everything works great so far. Antutu 291328. Not sure if it is placebo but face unlock seems to be faster, haven't been able to see lock screen in the trials I have done so far.
Rom is stock beta 8.11.2 and no root yet.
Will root and tweak with suggested ex kernel manager and report

Of course you can mate
frequency on big cluster is max on blu schedutil whilst on omnirom
thanks sounds really good gonna try it right after i flashed 8.11.1

Its how it works. It maxes the big but it lowers little cores. Currently its almost a direct copy from Pixel's 3 schedutil. If you dont like this behaviour i would suggest regular schedutil. Regarding blu_schedutil you can read more on its original thread "blu_spark kernel for OnePlus 6"

you absolutely sure its supposed to stay at 2803mhz constantly that is a huge power drain and makes no sense?

What im saying is that i picked the code EXACTLY like it is. Its 99% the same as Pixel 3 schedutil. Also youll notice that the battery drainisnt at all as huge as you think.
Morever while merging there wasnt even one conflict the code is 100% correct and exactly as eng.stk wrote it. Ifnyou have questions about the code im not the person to ask no offense. Im not taking the credits nor the blame for someone elses work. I just think its a nice addition especially for users that need performance.
Also as you may have noticed its not the default gov for that exact reason.
**Also of course there is always the possibility to remove a feature if i see no one finds it usefull.
Btw i always listen to feedback and try to satisfy most of you.
Cheers
