Notice: Saurom RCV users, there is a fix so that you can flash other kernels. The problem was caused by an incompatible library being flashed over Saurom's RTL modded library. In the future, my kernels will ship without modified libraries, and a cwm zip containing only the libraries will be offered (for those who need them).

For your pleasure, here is a new kernel for the ATT Galaxy Note. This kernel is forked from Da_G's Overclock kernel, so you are still getting all the features of that excellent piece of code.

For those a bit confused as to what 'Ghost thouch' is, and why it is removed:

Samsung added a bit of code to the touchscreen driver on the non-intl version of the note to detect 'ghost' touch input events, similar to the raindrop detection on the original Motorola Atrix (and others). While a nice idea on paper, this had un-intended consequences when trying to perform multi-touch input that continues longer than around 5 seconds; such as playing some games. It is now disabled in this kernel.

Edit: There also seems to be a pleasant side effect that I hadn't noticed... keyboard input is improved. Makes sense I suppose, since now there isn't this constant check for false touches slowing things down. Let me know if you see this on your device.

Please READ:

1. I have only tested this kernel on the ATT Galaxy Note running stock rom

2. This kernel has no option to turn ghost touch detection on and off (I am considering this for version 0.2)

3. I will likely not fix the issues where more than 6 fingers are not reliably detected.... why do you need that many fingers on the screen??

4. As always, you are flashing something on to your expensive phone and it very well could kill you, burn [more] holes in the ozone layer, intoxicate innocent kittens, etc. (oh, and break your phone). You always flash at your own risk.

5. The only change at the moment over Da_G's 0.2 kernel is the touchscreen stated above. As such, all the other good or bad remains the same.

Have fun, Let me know what you think.

Heard from:

Saurom RC4 -- Works fine

Saurom RC5 -- holoNote kernel is bundled already, but if you want to flash a different kernel you must apply a cwm zip containing a RTL modded lib

TPC V2 -- Works fine

Rogers -- Works fine

Kallsyms version of my Kernel is now up (file ending with suffix 'k'). Please confirm that it is working for you guys that use that feature (I do not).

Per request: Version without su/busybox (and install script) is now up. Please NOTE: this kernel does not remove root, just no longer installs root.

An oversight of mine has resulted in android reporting kernel version unavailable. Apps such as cpuspy report correct kernel name/ version.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] supermerkin:
When you flashed this was it on top of a custom rom or stock? Just trying to decide if I want to flash on top of saurom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kromatrix:
Flashed on Saurom RC4 and it booted fine. It seems I don't have anymore keyboard problems with this kernel either. I can finally type fast again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
As stated above, I have only tested this on stock att rom. That said, as Da_G's kernel works with Saurom, I can not see how this would cause any problems.

As people confirm it works in 'X' situation, I will update the op.

Quick question. Which of the three versions of Da_G's kernel is this from. I'm using his one with the kalysms (so?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
I hope to have a version with kallsyms up later today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
OMG, yesterday i was trying to analyze why my keyboard is missing keypresses when i type quickly and i came to the conclusion that it must be some sort of an accidental touch algorithm that works in the background!

I'm going to check this out!

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Op updated with kallsyms support kernel... enjoy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KLLSWITCH:
gonna flash and report back its nice to see another dev here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
What's Kallsyms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Da_G has a build of the kernel with this:

Version 0.2 CWM Zip (with KALLSYMS + KALLSYMS_ALL for debugging)

The original request came from someone who wanted to use an app to help fix the spen issues which required this I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Thank you! Amazing!

My phone will eat your Apple!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] d00mz:
Not discounting your work here - and this is just my opinion.

It might've been better to work with DaG and get him to integrate this into his kernels. do you plan to re-release every time he makes changes to his kernels?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] turilo:
Can i use this on my rogers galaxy note? Will i loose lte on rogers or nfc? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Hrmm... should ignore it? Yeah... ill ignore it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Turilo: only tested on att stock. But as nfc and lte are android and modem respectivly, I would guess you should be fine? Let me know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
OK tested it out. I don't think it helped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] d00mz:
I wasn't trying to start anything, it was a serious question though. Are you going to release a new one after DaG does changes to his kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] turilo:
Ok so far seems fine on my rogers note but when checking kernel in about phone i get unavailable? Grat work by the way :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
hmm reading this , here is a hunch , could it have something to do with the wake screen thingy , like you know how it dims before it woudl shut the screen down , cuz everytime I unlock my phone and click anything right away on my phone this doesnt happen .. Ijust tested it liek 20 times in a row but coud be afluke
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Going to be a couple days at least before anyone sees anything from me; My 1.5 tb seagate drive is dying. Luckily it is still under warranty so I have to RMA it tonight... paying the extra cash to get it two day shipped though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
Are you still working on an ICS kernel ? Typing fast is a nightmare, with ghost touch detection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imranh101:
Tried to install this today and phone wouldn't boot past Samsung logo. Tried both install over fresh and install over booted&used... I'm running the custom rom that is just ICS stock deodexed / zipaligned or whatever from here. reflashed said ROM and it boots fine... Is it simply because this kernel is incompatible with that ROM or am i doing something wrong? Flashed via CWM btw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Yes, it's because it's a GB(gingerbread) kernel, not ICS

Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! PAed JB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imranh101:
Ah apparently im blind. Read through the whole post twice and only now noticed it has GB in the title. Thanks lol :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KLLSWITCH:
why don't you just wait and see sounds good?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Correct. I'm using touchscreentuner from the market to address the offset issues so many people are having with the s-pen not being accurate. Works very well to correct the issue of not being Able to reach certain areas of the screen, screen touch sensitivity, but it did NOT solve my main problem of The pen being registered as a "click" before i got anywhere near the screen. Was told my s-pen was defective and Samsung is sending a new one (as soon as i send back my broken one of course :-[ )The dev of this hack for DA-G's kernel was kind enough to instantly implement it into his mod. I thank him again for that!

Turilo: you are absolutely right, I apologize and will fix it tonight. In the meantime, cpuspy reports kernel name properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
Thank you for this. It is VERY nice to have another Dev here for this huge piece of awesomeness!!! I appreciate your work.

BTW, everyone needs to hit thanks even if you are not going to use this kernel...and why are we asking for updates already?? Sit back and enjoy the ride!! Appreciate what we have!!

Thanks for the kernal, im all up for the Kallsyms stuff. anything to get this damn s-pen fixed with its horrible offset for lefty's.

i hate having to turn and twist my note just to get an accurate pen stroke on this thing.

thanks again man.

Wow, this has fixed the problem of the s-pen hovering over in the lower right corner triggering a response even when not touching the screen. Thanks!

Also, welcome!:D

Yes, at the moment the only change from da-g's .2 kernel is the touchscreen driver changes.

Phenomenal!

Phenomenal work, great to have you here!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thunderkiss65:
I have a question, I am on stock rooted. I flashed this through recovery and in settings and about phone says kernel version Unavailable. Is that normal ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
This was already discussed in this ONLY 4 page thread so far. it will be addressed BUT if you d/l cpuspy from mkt. It will give you detailed kernel info. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zerrikan:
Anyone tried this with TPV v2? I currently have TPC v2 with Da_G's Overclock kernel .2 and was wondering if I should give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ervin10:
I am currently using this kernel with TPC2 and haven't had any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zerrikan:
Yep, went ahead and flashed it also. So far so good!

I have the feeling battery life with this kernel is not as good as with the other custom kernel we have...thanks though!

Ill look closer at that, but I haven't seen a change at all...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Maybe its just placebo effect, but everything that requires touch input, which is basically everything, seems ALOT smoother with this kernel. Much thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
As always, we appreciate the time holo!

I had a quick question, if anyone who has flashed this already is willing to test for me. It's more of a hunch.

Some of you may be aware that our stock phones have been plagued by a Swype bug that makes it near impossible to use (at least with any kind of speed.) If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, bring up a Swype board and just try Swyping back and forth quickly. Swype will input a lot of random small words because it can't keep up.

Now do that on any other phone and you can't get it to chop up like that. It makes Swype worthless if you swipe too quickly. The current theory is that it has something to do with the aspect ratio and resolution, but I'm wondering if this kernel improved this specific issue for anyone?

In any case, I will be flashing later today when I get home from work today anyway. Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dkirchik:
I just tried Swyping consolidated purchasing incorporated it didn't chop up for me at all. I'm pretty sure I am a fast Swyper. Hope it helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
That gives me tremendous hope, friend! Thanks for trying that out for me! An easier way would just be to take your pointer finger and swipe back and forth stupidly fast, :). It will either not do anything (that's a good thing) or it will keep thinking that you ghost-lifted your finger and then kept going and enter random small words. Either way, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] songyop:
I just tried what you asked for. It either registers a couple of correct letters that I was hovering over or comes up with a message "Please try again!" I think it's working very nicely on my phone now. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
Ah, no luck! Same issue with it as before, but a great kernel either way! Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
Looks good, but can you create a version of you kernel without su and busybox? Some of us would prefer it not to install "su" and "busybox" at each boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
The kernel should not be installing su and busybox at each boot. This kernel uses Da_G's su/busybox install script to install su/busybox. Once installed, it should never install again. Granted, su and busybox are forever in the ramdisk, and it is checked each boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zx7rou812:
Works fantastic on my phone with ZERO problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
I understand that, this the same reason why Da_G created one without one with su and busybox. Having su and busybox being installed in "/" root of the file system is a problem if you are trying to remove root or hide root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Understood, look for it later today along with the kernel name fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
Thank you, appreciate your understanding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
This kernel like the dagkernel doesn't seem to save the governor upon reboot. The speeds seems to work on reboot just fine. But it always goes back to Ondemand on reboot...

By the way, I love the removal of the ghost touch thing. I had no idea it was even there, but it was causing some weird lag that is now gone! I thought the Note just had a crappy touch screen, looks like it was just the software. Nice...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Omniphil: what are you using to set clock and governor? I am not having this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
I've tried to apply this new kernel twice now and each time The phone just sits at the second samsung screen and wont go any further...

I downloaded the file via my computer and moved it to the phone. Just flashed the .zip in CWM. I tried wiping dalvik and cache, still does the same thing.

I am using the standard kernel (not K or non SU)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
You did a nandroid back-up first, yeah?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Yup. I just restored Boot and System and I was back up and running again with the first version of this Kernel.

Just wanted to report in however so the files can be checked... Or maybe its just me...

Will give a shot shortly, thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Omniphil:

I don't follow... which kernrl are you having trouble with (by filename)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
holoNoteKernel-0.1-2.zip

I'm running SAUROM which has your 0.1 kernel, I was just trying to update it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Not sure why you had a issue, but rest assured, you are on the latest. The '2' revision is what they used as the original was never released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
There is definitely something wrong here, after install the "no-su" version. I am experiencing the issue report a few post above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
The stuck at 2nd samsung logo problem? Odd as he had the issue with the standard... Ill look.

Edit:

Going to need more info, Just downloaded and installed nosu version without any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
Wow!!! Screen responsiveness is a significant improvement, nicely done!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Maybe its something to do with the process im using, so I'll document it here and you can tell me if it wrong... (This is how I've always installed kernels)

1. on my PC I click the download link

2. save it to dropbox

3. download from dropbox on the phone

4. reboot phone to recovery (CWM)

5. select zip from sdcard

6. install

7. reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 1tontomato:
You can use the XDA app free from the market and download stuff straight to your phone. probably not the cause of the problem but saves a step.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
No, I didnt think it was your process. Saurom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
It could be the rom. Are you testing with a stock rom?

Its not a big deal as your mostly new version is in Saurom, but i'm just wondering what to do when more kernels are released. I guess I'll worry about it later :)

For right now I have a pretty decent rom and a great kernel with that stupid ghost touch deactivated. I'm good for now :)

Like I said, I'm just here reporting stuff so you know about it.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I actually did that first, and I remembered someone saying something about not downloading from the phone as sometimes bad things happen, so I tried the PC version just to eliminate that potential issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
yeah I also experienced same issue(stuck at samsung logo) but with da_g kernel when tried to flash it. i had saurom. funny thing is that when you try to flash just the kernel separately it gets stuck while if you just copy paste the boot.img of the kernel zip file to the rom zip file and then flash using cwm it works...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
don't takr me wrong... just need to know so I can test and troubleshoot. I do all my tests on stock. I am downloadig saurom now so I can check this issue out.

Underground: same issue with dag kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
I was able to flash Dags OC kernel fine when I was on the stock rom, but I never tried to flash any kernel after going to Saurom. So it certainly could be rom related.

I tried clearing dalvik and cache too. There's not a whole lot of kernel choices out there, so I am assuming that most people who flash Saurom don't ever try to flash a kernel as there aren't any kernels to flash. until now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
Just to confirm...I too have not flashed a kernel only, except on stock rooted. flashed Da_g's 01 on stock. flashed his .02 on stock. then flashed a rom to test it and it gave me back on 01 kernel...left it. then went and flashed Saurom rc4 and it it put me back on .02 kernel. left it and have not flashed rc5 yet. and have not flashe your version of kernel yet...

I will wait for your results about flashing on Saurom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
same issue yes. I guess is the saurom V because when I was on saurom IV I could switch from da_g kernel to yours without any problems, so some module changes maybe?

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

if you flash saurom as a whole package it works, but if you flash the kernel separately it gets stuck, so you can go ahead and flash saurom V if you want, there wont be any problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
wait .

both full wipe and non wipe of saurom contians the holo kernel 'K' version .

back on saurom 4 I did flash your cwm kernel on top no problem

Edit 1

will go back and forward right now just to see what sup .

Edit 2

flashed holoNoteKernel-0.1-2-k.zip on top of RCV (the one already present in the rom ) result : phone stuck at samsung logo ...

Flashed DA_G 's kernel (OC v2) still stuck .

Edit 3 : flashing DA_G 's V1 via odin .. still stuck ????????????

Edit 4 Flashing the non wipe update of V5 that includes the 'k' kernel phone boots

Flashing V5 non wipe on top of V5 non wipe phone boots just fine again .

both updater script and lib files are just the same . NExt will try to flash GA_G 's kernel on top of sauromV see whats up.

So whats with all the wierdness ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxgohan:
I first noticed this ghost touching thing while playing mario kart on the n64 emulator

when keeping the throttle open, the car would suddenly stop after a few seconds, as if it didn't recognize that I was still holding down the throttle

I will flash this and report back as to if this is fixed :D

Yeah, I'm confused at this point as well. I can't do much till late tonight though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Anyone know if the usb hardware in the note supports uart like the original galaxy s series?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
I will wait before I tried to flash it again. But based on the DAGr8 test and my experience thus far, it seems something is definitely not right with the latest kernel and Saurom. I am also curious as to why this kernel image seems almost 1/2 of the size of the Da_G's kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
The kernel itself is actually about the same size as dag's and stock. The size difference of the boot image is the ramdisk.

Regardless, its unrelated to current issue with saurom, as we are hearing that flashing dag v2 is doing the same thing.

Dagr8: did u try flashing stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lpsi2000:
I think flashing Da_G v2 seems to be doing it after flashing your kernel. I will try flashing Da_G v2 now again over the current Da_G v2 that I am using to see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
Result ?

For me it failed.. What we need to do is replace Holo in full wipe with day_g then see if we can flash on top it's the only thing unscented tried
