Note2Core Kernel for Galaxy Note II N7100 / N7105 (LTE)

I am posting this here because it works on our LTE notes, since they all use a Qualcomm modem. I am running on my TMO T889 note with no issues. All credit goes to g.lewarne,antiochasylum - I am just posting here to so he doesn't have to maintain 2 threads. See their original post

About this kernel

This kernel is built from pure Samsung GT-N7100 source, with modifications and tweaks to provide the best user experience in reliability, performance and stability. Built upon my experience firstly with NoteCore and then HydraCore for the original Note, as many of you know, I strive for the best

There are 3 versions of each kernel, for the International LTE model GT-N7105.

This kernel has all debuging removed - logcat, android log, kernel log, schedular log, etc etc all disabled. This is for performance reasons, so if you are a developer this kernel is probably not for you

For the moment, exFAT formatted SDCards are not supported

Kernel Versions

There are three variants of the kernel for each device

STANDARD (STD) - 1.6ghz FSync() enabled

OVERCLOCK (OC) - 1.8ghz FSync() enabled

EXTREME (EX) - 1.8ghz FSync() disabled

The standard version, has no modifications to the processor clocks or voltages and can be considered a direct replacement for the stock kernel, and with FSync() enabled is completely stable

The OC kernel automatically scales up to 1.8ghz, with the proven voltages and stability from the perseus kernel (the same frequency table is used), and with FSync() enabled is completely stable

The EX kernel also scales to 1.8ghz, and has FSync() disabled. It offers by far the best possible performance. In rare circumstances you must be aware that this can lead to data corruption and the need to wipe / reflash a rom back to the phone. 99% of people will have no issues with this, as it has been extensively tested and proven on my previous kernel, but the risk is there. Dont go moaning to me if you lose your data and haven't got a nandroid backup!

Kernel Features

- Built from official GT-N7100 sources

- 1.6 / 1.8ghz auto scaling

- Optimised VM memory settings, and global readahead

- Auto-rooting of any rom when flashed, even stock

- init.d script support

- CPU Voltage support through 3rd party apps

- Modified GPU DVFS utilisation steps for maximum GPU performance, far better than stock (this is NOT overclocking!)

- No logging / debugging of any kind for higher performance

- Decreased CPU frequency transition latency

- CRC32 slicing-by-8 algorithm

- SLUB allocator

- PEGASUSQ governor (default, others available)

- NOOP schedular, (default, others available)

- +50mb more free ram compared to all other kernels

- lots of other minor tweaks and changes

- ODIN TAR and CWM ZIPS available for all versions

- TouchWiz roms only

Changelog

Asylum V 2.11

-fixed 640 gpu clock(it works now!)

-switched to google 4.7 toolchain

-Note2Core STD, OC remain unchanged. AsylumCore EX and AS versions updated with 640 GPU clocks.

AsylumCore V2.01 - source on github now - github.com/antiochasylum/note2core_asylumcore_note2kernel

- version with *733* in file name is the 733 GPU @ 1150mV

- based off new source code 7100T

- compiled using latest linaro tool chain

- tweaked gpu scaling

- ro.secure=0 - I was tired of typing mount -o remount,rw -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /system everytime to push a modified APK

- voltage bug still present :(

AsylumCore 1.339

- 1.920 CPU over clock

- 640 GPU clock

- Maybe fixed rotation / sensor issues on some of the new 4.1.2 roms

1.05

- Fixed all voltage setting and reporting problems (you may need to clear app data in your chosen voltage app)

- Swapped to arm-eabi- 4.4.3 google toolchain rather than arm-linux-androideabi- 4.4.3

- Some minor bigfixes

- Decreased bus frequency increase threshold

v1.02

- Fixed video recording

- Added custom boot animation support, to use place desired boot animation in /system/media under *bootanimation.zip*

v1.01

- Fixed video playback for some users.

v1.00

- Initial release

GPL and Source

I dont use GitHub, so I make my entire kernel source, kitchen, build scripts, ramdisks and build tools available in one complete tarball. Also included in the TAR is a standard .patch which anyone can use to apply my changes against their own source tree. Almost everything you need to make your own version of a Note2Core kernel is included in the download - the only exceptions are the required linux packages.

You can download the latest source here - http://www.hecubus.com/filelist.php?...2core/source
