Request

I just wanted to say, great work. And I wanted to ask (no I don't care about benchmarks) how real-world performance in CPU/GPU intensive tasks, such as heavy games, is?

And I wanted to make an... Unusual request. I want to turn my Note 2 into a full fledged dev machine, using this. So, can I have the aufs module on the kernel, please?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
I tried that kernel. With RedPill I got better battery life, and better performance. I did a CPU performance test and with uNeek I got Max 5500. With RedPill I got 7000.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Guys.. need to claim to clarify. Any one of you using redpill ultimate and memory swap without issue? I read OP post and it says exfat is supported. Therefore I tried memory swap but it keep showing safety remove memory card.

Hmm... did I overlook?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
emmmm **Ultimate (Will not work with ExFat since I used SLQB)**
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Thanks mate! I really overlooked the one saying thet exfat supported lmao.

Thanks for that!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] shchiam1978:
I wish to use this kernel but still facing the camera issue. Sad.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
I'm on my way home from my 5 day workshop and will be releasing Test versions which should fix that issue.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] avetny:
Between you and me I can't wait this: Stable version is built and ready for 4.1.2 and will be Rev0.7

:P
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] shchiam1978:
Thanks for your speedy action.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Great news Pongster!

Thanks for sharing :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Eienkei:
Would you please compile ODIN flashable kernels too?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Sorry. :) Added some stuff and bumped it up to Rev0.8

Internal Testing going on at the moment.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] avetny:
Pongster I have a question. Why stock 4.1.2 kernel showing very high bench scores? Did you will include this tweak to new REV 0.8?

Regards.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] DamBadz:
Agree:D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nyunyu:
Woohoooo! can't wait. Hopefully I can finally get back on this kernel and still get my camera working :)

Thanks pongster for listening to your users. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Haven't seen the source for 4.1.2 so I'm not sure what could be bringing the scores up. Honestly, the best benchmark is actual use and I personally don't rely on scores to tell me how smooth a kernel is. If you want higher scores I'm not sure this kernel will give it as I don't focus my development around scores like quadrant and antutu.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Next Stable Rev0.8 Release will have the following notable changes:

Camera, Sensors and Sensorhub updates

Fixed Camera not working on ZK camFW

4.1.2 Support (Tested on our own Stock Based HyperDroid ROM)

Ability to UV CPU Arm Voltages

Compatibility with gokhanmorals's STweaks app

Custom STweaks entries specific to RedPill Features available

Compile using Linaro 201211 Toolchain (4.7.3)

Ultimate Rev0.9 will have all of the above and the ff. differences:

SLQB

jrcu

Busfreq UV

Touch LED UV

Increased USB Charging rate to 1700 (same as AC default)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] DamBadz:
Can I use rv.08 with 4.1.1 also? Thx:)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Yes.

voodoo sound idea.

hello,

i got a voodoo sound fully working at Galaxy note 2.

original source is GalaxyS3 Voodoo (scoobydoo sound)

i just changed.

-------------------------------------------

sound/soc/codecs/Kconfig.voodoo - line 3

depends on SND_UNIVERSAL_WM8994 || SND_S3C24XX_SOC || SND_SOC_WM8994_P3 || SND_SOC_SAMSUNG_HERRING_WM8994 || SND_SOC_SAMSUNG_T0_WM1811

-------------------------------------------

sound/soc/codecs/wm8994_voodoo.c - line 125

#define CALL_ACTIVE 0

------------------------------

Kconfig.voodoo depends is not correctly.

and wm8994_voodoo.c 's CALL_ACTIVE definition is wrong memory address. it caused bad working at headphone options.

it's temporary solution.

and i tested 2 day. its okay. about calling and music listening and video watching.

https://github.com/sjkoon/SJKernel-gn2/commit/4fda93ef392a1f66a97a4b22f36f64525fa5a986

here is my dirty commits... sorry

Thanks for regards.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gtizon:
On Rev.9 this looks great so far. No reboots. No lags. Camera works flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Is there a way to disable capacitive keys totally and use the soft keys instead?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] blackrobin88:
waiting anxiously......... :eek:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
omg waiting for rev 0.8 :eek: if you could also implent voodoo sound then would be faking amazing :eek: maybe i could also test rev 0.8? :) using stock 4.1.2
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] DaveHTC200:
Can some one say if this version reports very high Android OS levels in battery stats.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jbounours:
AOSP still on 0.5 though. No love for us :p
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] avetny:
Damn please add Voodoo
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
So....we now have in our devices a full sammy 4.1.2 rom ala paranoid style (to be release later and in other thread once finished as an "Hyperdroid Pegasus"), forcing dpi in incompatible apps to 320 while everything else custom dpi, but best of all, Mr. Pongster here finally added some sound improvements to the kernel :)

How does this changelog sound :), because our Notes here are sounding really really good XD

Rev0.7

RedPill Stable PLUS: (New Features In Development will be on this Release)

SLQB

Busfreq Undervolting

LCD Undervolting

Touch LED Undervolting

jRCU instead of Tree Preempt RCU (Better for low latency and designed with small SMP systems like mobile devices in mind)

Added UV Capability (arm voltages only) Implementation by AndreiLux

Increase USB Charging rate by AndreiLux

Increased it even more to match AC charging rates (Experimental)

lowmemorykiller patches by Cyanogen Steve Kondik <shade@chemlab.org>

Rev0.8

Experimental optimizations to try and fix ZK camFW bug

Loads of Samsung OSRC updates

Wacom, Firmware, epen, sensorhub, camera firmware among others

Bug Fixes by AndreiLux on sound related source files

Remove all Debugging

Added STweaks support (Thanks to gokhanmoral)

Rev0.9

Using 201211 Linaro 4.7.3 Toolchain

Added led blinking or fading choice from CM10 (Thanks to codeworkx and XpLoDWilD)

Added NTFS Automounting support

Custom STweaks Entries specific to RedPill Features

Rev0.10

Added Scoobydoo Sound (gokhanmoral's port of supercurio's Voodoo)

Added Scoobydoo specific Stweaks presets

Added skjoon's Scoobydoo Sound fixes

expect the release very soon, we are so excited that we havent even fully tested the sound implementation and managed to convince pongster to make an exception to his (fully tested rule) and do an "early release" since we all deserve this quality on our devices :)-

Thanks pongster :)

(changes are uploading to git, kernel uploading aswell and to be released asap)

by not fully tested i mean not timewise enough, but the sound quality improvements and the rest of features are there, and it is what we are using right now :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gtizon:
ROM will have separate thread doc?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
I used a portion of the commits you made to test. I'm pushing to git now. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] aamitabh28:
That's such exciting news!!

Can't wait!

I hope u release soon..THANK YOU!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
By the way, since as the way you are wording the changelog and some of the commits seems odd. Samsung OSRC in itself doesn't exist, I invented that label; I spent a day and some in going through the source dumps categorizing them based on purpose and dependencies, testing it, and creating the commits based on that. I would appreciate at least a shout-out or at least a proper sign-off on those if you use them like that...

Some of them you merged include things that aren't Note 2 related like the CMA page handling. I have a local repository with all of the source commits and left out everything in the public one not included in S3 and N2 configurations. I'd recommend just doing it like Simone and merging the whole tar dump instead if you want to keep things manageable for the future.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] sjkoon:
i think led fade is not correctly working.

led light is weakened.

not fading correctly.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Sorry about that. The odd commits are when I can't get git am to apply cleanly and I have to use the old patch p1. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to signoff properly as I actually don't know how to sign off when not patching using git am. I also tried manually editing the git formatted patch but it doesn't apply as cleanly as a patch p1 and manual check and test do. I do prefer using git am to patch but when it doesn't go through cleanly, like most patches that have odd commits, I use the old patching method and am unaware of how to signoff properly when using that. I don't intentionally make an odd commit if I can use git am instead. (Which is much better)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
They were fading when I tested using light manager and enabled them in the sysfs. Will look into it tomorrow as its 330am here.

Sorry I misspelled your name in the commits that you shared earlier. I also managed to make a mess of the commits to get it going. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] sjkoon:
:D Fine . i'll test more LED fades. You need to sleep now. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
Why are you patching it manually in the first place? Get out of the stone-age :D

I don't know if you know this or not and maybe I'm repeating myself but at least maybe somebody else finds it useful:

git remote add perseus https://github.com/AndreiLux/Perseus-S3.git

git fetch perseus

git cherry-pick commitid

At least that's useful to do on repositories you have the most contact with, the git compression and resolving of deltas makes the space overhead of having a bunch of whole repositories from other people minimal. The above method makes merging with SmartGit extremely effective as you can have three-way merge interfaces and properly see your index state, the working tree, and the index state from where the commit is coming from.

Now if you have conflicts, which you probably had and is the most often reason commit metadata gets lost, you can do a few things:

If the last commit is the faulty one, then you can just do a :

git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email@address.com>"

If you have done a mistake in a previous commit and the head is already several commits further up the index:

git stash

git rebase --interactive facde0d61424a40a5ac9181b953102127948732e^

In the editor window change "pick" to "edit" in the commit you want to change and save.

git pop

git add arch/arm/plat-s5p/reserve_mem.c

git commit --amend (Optionally with different author)

git rebase --continue

With the above method you can fix any commit, no matter how old, and you avoid in doing trash commits (sorry) like https://github.com/HyperDroid/RedPillKernel/commit/b916ae55e70dec5fa7ce0973376076f8bc03901f

Of course once you push the changes anywhere then you lose opportunity in fixing anything as you get a huge cluster**** if you change already pushed commits.

I might write a high level guide on Git since a lot of people don't know of its capabilities.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Great stuff! :) I am from the stone age I guess.

I actually tried adding your repo as a remote but couldn't get the cherry-picks to work cleanly and eventually also had to do some manual merging. Which is the only reason I patch -p1 :D

So, I cloned your repo and fetched then apply a oneliner to cherry-pick:

git --git-dir=/path_to_Perseus-S3/.git format-patch -k -1 --stdout SHA_commit_id | git am -3 -k

The stash and rebase interactive stuff will help me clean up my commits in the future. :) Thanks for the tips.

For what its worth, you can see in my .gitconfig that I don't use stash and rebase often: :D

[alias]
co = checkout
cm = commit
s = status
b = branch
pm = push origin master
pe = push origin experimental
pu = push origin ultimate
r = revert --no-edit
rh = reset HEAD
ac = apply --check
cp = cherry-pick
h = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --date=short
type = cat-file -t
dump = cat-file -p
[core]
whitespace = trailing-space,space-before-tab

I'll add stash and rebase interactive on there soon.

RedPill Stable Rev0.9 is released by the way, for those who may be interested.

Head over HERE for the changelog and HERE for the download link.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
Hey, the link for the RedPill Ultimate Rev 0.10 does not seem to be working. It says "File not Found".
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] knightnz:
That would be the one that says "Unreleased" with the word "placeholder" in the URL?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
Oh, so there is only a new version of RedPill normal? Or does the Ultimate version also gave a new version available?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
dual boot request :)

Thanks for this amazing kernel @pongster, i really like this kernel.

Until now everything is ok, so i dont have any bug comment, but i have a request maybe it would be also interesting for you, i wanna try my chance :)

is there any chance to port gokhanmoral's dual boot thing which he use on siyahkernel to our RedPill kernel? It would be so cool because i really want to use ParanoidAndroid, but sometimes i need also TW based roms, dual boot would be a great solution for this situation :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] saberzaid:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Crushader:
Why does ver 0.9 mount external sdcard in different location? It used to be extSdCard, now it's moved to sdcard1 (symlinked)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Annie the Eagle:
>"Added NTFS Automounting support (for sdcard formatted as NTFS only, not OTG) Please Test if this works as I use FAT32".

Will OTG still work for ext4 and FAT32 sticks/cards, and can I use USB OTG Helper to get NTFS support? I use my HDD for movies nearly every day.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nyunyu:
FINALLY! Thanks for the new version pongster!

Camera bug has been fix at least for me. :)

I don't have this problem.

+1. From Solid File Explorer, I now see external sdcard shown as symlink not directory like before although samsung's my files and root browser still shows the external as extSdCard. I guess this won't cause any problem no?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
OTG should still work as normal for other file systems. I've tested Paragon to auto mount my NTFS and HFS+ drives when connected.

NTFS auto mount is for sdcards formatted as NTFS. Not sure NTFS otg will work. I'm on a 16gb fat32 card now but I'm planning to get a 64gb sdxc and use exfat. :)

You should be able to disable any scoobydoo effects using stweaks. Or does it affect sound even when everything is disabled?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] albireox:
You don't have to activate Voodoo sound. You can control it (presets, EQ, etc) from ExTweaks. Don't see what's wrong in having a true hardware EQ, instead of software ones...

same problem here, wasnt before, now android os is top of battery usage.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Crushader:
Same, battery seems to last less too =s.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Not sure what it could be as on the ROM I'm on Screen takes the top of the list. Its usually a reporting issue when you don't use the screen as much and Android OS is reported as a percentage of all items eating up the battery.

In this case please test Screen On time Totals. If you get the same or more than usual (like in my case, about 6hours Screen On time on average) then its a reporting issue and any perceived battery drain caused by a high AndroidOS is simply a reporting issue based on how the system computes this.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Not sure about that as I keep music player's eq flat or disabled as much as possible and prefer to rely on the hardware eq.

I use poweramp and introducing any software side eq tends to distort the sound. I'll probably need to find the right mix of hardware and software eq depending on the player I'm using but right now I prefer the hardware eq as I prefer a flat eq sound to go along with a bit of audio gain only for my cheap but amazing superlux cans. :)
