I'm still here. :P I've been keeping a list of things to do with this kernel.

BUG ALERT! If you are having problems with STweaks restoring old settings on every boot, BE SURE THE DIRECTORY ".plasmakernel" IS NOT ON YOUR SD CARD! If the script sees you have .plasmakernel on your SD card, it will foolishly copy it over the master one on boot, which is located on internal storage. To be clear, you should only delete .plasmakernel if it exists on the root of your SD card. Leave the one on internal storage alone.

My to do list is as follows:

STweaks/Synapse script bug: On one of the GPU steps, "Down Threshold" is missing.

STweaks/Synapse script bug: The GPU step locks are applied regardless of the safety checkbox.

STweaks/Synapse script bug: The zzoove Hotplug down/up skip samples are improperly labeled and therefore do nothing. The functionality works, it's just that the script is looking at "hotplug_up_block_samples" and the actual sysfs entry is "hotplug_up_block_cycles". So until I get a new version out, if you want to change those settings you'll have to use SetCPU or similar.

Finish porting the Synapse script.

Possible idea: The nightmode/invert home button taps are cool, but it's annoying to be sent back to the home screen all the time. Obviously the kernel doesn't know how many times you will press it, so it always has to report the event to the OS. I need to do something to add a modifier to it, perhaps holding a touchkey down or something when you intend to toggle it.

Possible idea: Post-wake keyguard. Strange idea, I know. But when messing around with those apps that use the gyro/prox sensor to turn your screen on automatically, it does so before my hand has cleared the screen, and I accidentally tap things.

Possible idea: "Swipe home". No clue what that means, but I have it written down... :P I think I was going to make it so a predetermined swipe would input the home key on the kernel level (as opposed to just using a gesture via the kernel gesture engine)

Get rid of/disable the power off gesture. That thing is annoying and useless now that "long-press-off" is so reliable.

Drop the touchkey lock after the S-Pen is inserted.

Drop the touchkey lock when a predetermined pattern has been drawn. For example, say you're using the S-Pen and you want to immediately use a touchkey. Normally you'd have to wait until the lock drops out (set via STweaks), but I thought it'd be nifty if you could hover off the screen, say directly above a corner, and that would instantly drop the lock. It's annoying to need to hit back, but having to wait a few seconds for that lock to drop first.

Allow touchkeys to trigger touchbooster.

Bug: Touchbooster throws an exception rarely and crashes the kernel. So far the ONLY times I've had a freeze in the past 3 months have been related to this bug.

Is their plans for 4.4 support? I would love to use this kernel with slim rom :)

Join the Plasma kernel Google+ Community!

I think it's about time I update the main posts, haha. Sorry about that. I plan to, as well as add a community and a thank you section to this thread for the people who have donated. I'm going to follow other devs and just have this be the main thread, and the other variants just be one paragraph descriptions pointing to here.

I've been getting a lot done on the kernel lately, I should have a new release very soon. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
On the 03/05 CM nightly, I'm getting phone FCs (phone signal)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony45x220:
Where is the download for our L900 device on that!? I tried the old CM KK kernel on the latest PACman release and I instantly got the phone force close message that made the phone unusable.

Sent from my Rooted, Suited, and Booted Sprint Galaxy Note II know dat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digida:
I started getting the phone FC with the 3/4 nightly with Plasma. I tried to go back to 3/3 and flash Plasma but I still get the FCs. The only way I have a usable phone right now is to use a nightly (currently on the 3/6) with stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Did you try it on 3/6 with the same results? Weird I'm not having this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digida:
Yeah, 3/6 I tried flashing dirty and also flashed with a fresh wipe. Both times I ended up with frequent FC of phone.apk when I flashed Plasma.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
I've had the phone.apk force close issue on boot for a week or so, I just assumed some hard reboots while testing corrupted something. I was able to make calls though.

Anyway, it should be all fixed now. It looks like they added "/system/framework/telephony-msim.jar" to the BOOTCLASSPATH. I no longer get the force close on boot, and calls seem to be working fine.

I forgot to mention, I will be aiming to release a new build tonight. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
If you're asking for the CM nightlies (which at one point I had a hard time finding too) they are here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=l900 and this handy changelog service http://www.cmxlog.com/11/l900/ shows what's changed, as well as what's pending in the current build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
While I'm at it, are there any ROMs that don't boot with Plasma because of renamed frameworks? I have -BAM and -PAC, although I'm not sure if they've migrated over to the standard -2 suffix yet. Are there any others?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
One problem I seem to have is my cpu percentage has been in the low 30s when it was usually 3 or 4 % or even zero when nothing was going on. I'm not sure if this is even kernel related and a reboot sometimes fixes it. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Can't wait for the new release!

On cm11 btw. And before it would be like this for a few minutes but then would settle down but it's staying that way now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
what governor are you using? I find that zzmove uses the least amount of kernels and lowest cpu freqs when idle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickosD:
You can see it in the picture....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I'm using Pegasusq but I always have. And I've got stweaks set up to use all 4 cores all of the time with a 1.92 ghz on the touch booster with a 4 sec delay then it would jump all the way back down to 200mhz until touched again and it always worked flawlessly. Yeah it's not battery friendly but I've got 3 and a wall charger so it's not an issue. And it only seems like this on the latest cm releases so yeah it may or may not be kernel related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I have phone FCs on Gummy ROM 1.2 as well...previous build from a few days ago was fine with Plasma 2.05b0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
Will the new download be posted on the first post? I'm having trouble finding downloads without finding them randomly inside the thread?

I'm also having phone fc on cm11 nightlies as others have stated as well.

Keep up the great work!

Anyone point me in the right direction with the link to the latest version?

Can anyone confirm that it's stable with the new cm builds?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davesbest:
Page 87 for the latest builds. Some people are experiencing phone ui apk fc's with the latest cm nightly. Sounds like this should be fixed once ffolkes finishes the next build.

*Dr. Evil voice* The amount of work going into this next release is really quite breathtaking.

I've been working for 18 hours at a clip, day after day. New features, bug fixes, and Synapse. Synapse is so awesome, I'm almost done porting to it. Redesigning and making hundreds of settings by hand brings new meaning to the word "tedious". And the new mysterious thing I've been working on is so cool, I need to make a video for it.

I know everyone is getting tired of waiting, but I'm working on this non-stop and I'm getting there. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony45x220:
I'm in the last JB version of the kernel is there anyway to disable to touch booster with thus kernel? It automatically jumps cores 0 and 1 (I'm using Zmoove with progressive hotplugging) to 1.4ghz and holds them both on at 800mhz whenever I'm touching the screen, not a big deal but I'd like to save some cycles if I can

I've heard about that app so many times and never thought to download it... It's a damn MAZE of settings and configurations, with very helpful explanations on everything... I disabled it and there was noticeable lag, so I just turned it down... Thanks a lot I'm gonna get familiar with these 20 tabs of settings

Is it the only kernel application you use for your phone?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmikehd2:
Anyone have an idea which version of kernel to use with ressurection remix? It's based on AOKP, CM and PA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nicenice19:
I am using CM11 with it and it is working well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmikehd2:
Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and tried them all. I stuck with the CM version also and it's working well. It did freeze up on me once but other than that all good.

kernel q

Anyone know of any good stable 4.3 roms that play nice with Plasma kernel? I've been trying a few different options now for a few hours and haven't really got anywhere.

Thanks!

b
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The 4.3 roms you using all aosp? Also you need the older plasma kernel from the op as the newer ones are for 4.4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill720:
direction

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this. I saw that the op that said these were for aosp based 4.3 roms only (which I've been having a little trouble finding), I didn't know there was a newer version somewhere. For general daily use, what's most stable? What roms are a good combination? I just got my Note2 recently, and it's hard to pick through and find out which projects are dead and outdated and which ones are new and stable. Are there any well functioning 4.4 roms that would be recommended to use with the new plasma kernel? If so, where would I go about getting the newer version?

Are there any TW kernels with the same kind of features as plasma? My end goal is mainly to make sure that I have a kernel with support for some kind of application (similar to voodoo control on the s1) that can alleviate the green tint of the super amoled screen and make voodoo-like audio improvements.

Thanks in advance.

You definitely are the man ffolkes! One of the most dedicated and most freaking amazing devs ever. Can't wait for this amazing surprise to this blessed kernel for n7100 to. Would've loved for 2 versions for aosp and tw but nevertheless I'd switch to aosp just to use this awesome kernel. God bless man

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] killiang1695:
i know that on page 87 it has support for kitkat roms like PA and CM11 but on PA beta 2 plasma is broken. any fixes? and sorry to ask this, but since PA is cm11 based, why does it need a seperate kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Which kernel are you using exactly? The old 2.05b0 or the new 2.5a0 or a1?

If you're using the old 2.05b0 kernel...that is you problem. It is well, old.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] killiang1695:
i WAS using the 2.05b0, didnt see the 2.5a0 and a1 for PA on the site for the newer kernels. are those working? and will the CM one work with PA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
It's discussed in more detail here. And yes I think one just for PA is in the works.

I just installed the latest version of plasma kernel for OmniROM. I'm trying to get knockwake to work but I'm unsuccessful in doing so.

FFolkes could you post your new favorite settings with synapse?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JusticeAA:
Anyone have an tips for installing the latest version on cm11. I did a dirty flash and all my paid apps were gone and I had errors using synapse. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Did you wipe dalvik and cache?

If not, then that is the life choice you made and must now atone for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I had the same problem before but not on latest version. I was able to just reinstall the apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Muzzy011:
Probably not plasma fault, but just to post it as a warning.

When I installed new 2.5 plasma build and synapse instead stweaks, for the first time i tried oc to 1.92GHz and all worked perfect, and still do, except one thing - all i transferred to external sd card is corrupted - podcasts which i download directly to ext sd, videos i moved fro int to ext sd, and couple of dl'ed things. All before OC and after lowering clock is ok.

Interesting thing is that sd card is perfectly ok when i checked it at pc, no corruption in fat or file names tables, just and only data. What is broken, there are suply filled with 00.

I guess that with cpu, some local buses are OC, along with sc controler, which was not in love with it.

Just watch out, as I said, everything else works 100% ok, but ext sd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
That's so weird. Just paid apps were affected? What ROM? What variant (cm11/omni/pa/carbon) did you use? I can't think of anything that would have any bearing on that besides something ramdisk-related.

This, too, is weird. I'll try to look into this, but I'm not sure what would cause that. Could be storage-scheduler related, by default I've been using zen lately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I'm on CM 11 and have not had the paid apps problem for at least the last 2 kernel versions. Maybe 3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunmybun:
Which rom is best with the kernel? Any opinions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickosD:
Anyone using sokp rom? I can't make kernel work with that rom....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JusticeAA:
I did a first time install of 2-50a0 onto CM11 for the l900 and lost the paid apps. I will try again with the latest and see if it does it again. I nandroided back so it should just like a first time install of the kernel again.

UPDATE: I just installed 2-50a4 over cm11(4/14) and my paid apps stayed this time. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
Okay, not sure what happened here. I installed the latest CM11 Nightly from today, wiped davlik and cache, and installed this kernel (first time I have tried using it in a while) and then wiped dalvik and cache again. Then I attempted to reboot. I got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen, but then after that I got a black screen and nothing happened. Tried rebooting the phone a couple of times, same result. So I got back into recovery using the 3 button startup, just installed the CM11 without installing the kernel, and it started up fine. But once the phone was loaded up, kept getting the "process android.process.acore has stopped working" message, seems to have something to do with contact storage, from what I've read so far. I am going back to reinstall the CM11 Nightly again, this time with Gapps. I wish I had done a Nandroid before I did this, as I may have to wipe all my data. I should know better by now, always do a Nandroid backup. Anyway, can anyone tell me why I was unable to install the kernel? Is there something wrong with my procedure here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
1st question is what kernel version are you installing? 2nd question what are you doing wiping all of these caches for? There shouldn't be any need for that. I never wipe anything and it works every time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
The kernel is the one from the original post on this thread. Isn't that the most updated one? As far as the cache wiping, I figured it wouldn't hurt when I was updating the kernel and it could help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
No no no. Look here.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
Thanks for the clarification. The Plus Google link does not seem to work.

Of the links on the plasmakernel page I assume I am to use the CM11 zip, right?

I'll give it a try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Not sure what's wrong with the link but yeah if on CM11 then use that one. You'll need the Synapse app also to configure things from the play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
Yeah, it installed properly this time. I've installed synapse. Not sure

what settings I need to use with it. I did a quick search on this thread

under "synapse" and it was not clear to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Good. And the settings really wouldn't be mentioned. It's a matter of personal preference. Just play with it but you might want to leave it alone if you're not sure what you're doing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
I have recently gone back to CM11 (0416 build), and decided to check out Plasma/Synapse since it had been awhile as well. I'm an anti-key-backlight kind of person, and with Plasma installed, I can't seem to get the lights to never come on. I have tried every combination of the System Settings->Buttons->Backlight checkbox and in Synapse (whatever tab the backlight info is on) both ROM and Legacy mode. The best I can do is to only have them on for the minimum millisecond value. Is anyone else anti-key-backlight and able to turn them completely off all the time?

edit: As soon as I remove plasma, the backlights behave as expected when configured in System Settings->Buttons->Backlight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Funny you ask that because they never come on for me when I 1st turn the screen on until I actually hit one of them. They're always off with screen on and that's with them set to stay on. I'm the opposite and like them on but never associated this with plasma. Next nightly I flash I'm going to look for this before installing plasma to see if that's what's causing it. I'm also going to mention this on his Google + site.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
I'll look into this, but for now you can set it to Legacy and check the Disable box. I checked and that works for me. I'll have to see why stock kernels are behaving normally, since I haven't changed anything with that for many months.

Hmm. I never noticed this. Report back with your findings. :)

Congratulations, this is my 1000th post. :P

Well, I finally got around to messing with this last night, and although my settings don't match up exactly with what you and t4d73 said, the lights are finally off all the time. I'm not touching anything now that it's working :) , however my current settings are kinda weird for things to be working:

CM11 (0425 build) System Settings->Buttons->set to 'enabled' with 1 second delay

Synapse->Device Tab->Disable Backlight is checked, and the TouchKey Backlight Mode is set to 'Legacy Mode (Kernel)' as suggested.

(also Light On Screen Touch is unchecked, and Touchkey Backlight Timeout is set to 0 milliseconds.)

One other thing is I have the Gravity Box Xposed module installed as well, and Display Tweaks->Button backlight mode is set to 'default'

Things are running quite nice now. Thanks again for your help!
