Really at my wit's end with this phone on aosp. This kernel helps in some ways but seems to also slows it down other times. Causing lots of UI crashes in multi tasking. Really laggy. Camera just decides not to work at times, especially if rotating phone at the wrong time, it is VERY moody.

Drives me crazy that the phone is so high end but I'm dealing with such basic issues. Feel like I'm on 5 year old phone at times. Just used a one x+ and made me want to revert back to tw (the horror)!

On root box and 1.67 at the moment but not happy with performance or battery life. Maybe I'll try 1.68. Can anyone provide advice on what settings to change to take advantage of the kernel? Honestly don't know what I'm doing when it comes to tweaking kernel settings and don't want to mess anything up. Anyone who is happy with their setup willing to share their settings? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
You don't have to flash a kernel when you flash a Rom. And if you don't want to "mess" anything up and don't really know what you're doing, I'd suggest reading up on the settings you're questioning. Or at least stay with the default settings. But really, if you haven't already, I'd try out the Trinity kernel that comes stock for a couple days to see how it goes for your phone.

As far as aosp on this phone, its not that great of an experience for some I hear. , and that probably has some things to do with the exynos chip being more difficult than the qualcomm to dev for. Lack of source I believe..

I have good experiences with it.

And just curious, why did an HTC make you miss touch wiz? Don't you mean sense? :p

For me, yea I have high android os usage and a quirk here and there but honestly, the battery drain from all those wake locks isnt that much at all even though the time is high. I don't run out of battery in my daily usage. Especially now with greenify. The ROM and how I use it is what matters more..and the options and features outweighs the small quirks IMO.

Sorry if this past was too long. Hope you can make it work for you. I like touchwiz but aosp more.

edit: after reading this, i hope i didnt sound like a jerk, as if you cant be having problems and youre doing something wrong; i guess i just cope with the bugs. btw, ffolkes has some good tips on tweaking the kernel posted throughout the thread recently if you want to get your hands dirty.

--BUT I gather this is of no help to you either. I suggest staying with your stock software, try to help yourself, and go vent on fakebook not a developer forum. No one is making any one flash aosp or custom kernels.

I found this file on the internet awhile back from when I had issues with my audio volume, especially with headphones. However, I currently use this with my Note 2 and it works flawlessly. Your mileage may vary.

Open up your file manager of choice and navigate to /etc/sound/ and paste this file to that location. If there are any other files like this in the sound folder, rename them so the phone won't recognize them.

I don't have a dropbox, so if Google Drive won't cooperate, let me know on here.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
Na, I probably sound like the jerk. Just venting.

Using sense base me miss the smooth stock experience, not tw per se.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
I would suggest you go back to running a tw rom then you can feel all warm and fuzzy with your phone then do some research and learning about this awesome kernel and aosp roms its not for everyone

Rockin it from my Macknote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
I'm the biggest aosp proponent. Didn't mean to sound ungrateful to the devs for everything they do. It's that I know that aosp is "better" yet I still have issues is why I'm upset. I need to put aside some time to read through this thread to learn how to use the kernel, I just haven't had the time recently.

Again, didn't mean to be disrespectful. Just venting while asking for help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I have not seen any laginess or FCs with this kernel. You really don't even need to futz with the settings at all, all I change are the LED brightness and the audio and that is it.

Flash the kernel and the gestures pack, and WIPE cache and dalvik before rebooting and all should be well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rawdikrik:
Try illusion ROM and 1.68.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lopies:
What is the gestures pack for and do you need it to run this kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Links explaining are in the OP. Not really necessary I don't think-but it adds some nice features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Just flashed 1.68. I have consistent input lag when say I swipe between home screens. Any ideas? I did not have this with stock kernel (SlimBean) I'm sure there's a setting or two I can alter.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I'm on the same ROM, and 1.68 runs great, with Nova Launcher. In STweaks reset to defaults (last tab in STweaks) and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Yeah, didn't help. Still noticeable enough to drive me crazy :(

For whatever reason, my phone never did like Andrei's TW kernel, maybe there's a common denominator here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Hmm. Does your wording imply only home screens? Because that's really specific and probably userspace related. You haven't made any changes at all in STweaks? Or in a CPU governor app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
There were certain other things, like scrolling lists that seemed less optimal than with stock, but it seems to be getting better as the day goes on. It was probably a premature diagnosis tbh. I'm going to stick with it for a couple days and see how everything settles.

The only changes I've made in STweaks thusfar relate to the display and sound.

Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
1.68 is actually running pretty well for me. On it for an hour or two, let's see how this goes. Thanks everyone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] r80ies:
I am running CM 10.1. Sorry about the response delay.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I was 1.68 and the battery life results were awesome. However, after two instances the device would not wake from sleep. So then I reverted to 1.67c and within 10 mins no wakey from sleep another battery pull. I am back on 1.66 and phone is stable in regards to the device waking from sleep but now my battery life is sacrificing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I also noticed on 1.6.8's sound-control audio isn't as...accurate? Or as good as it is on 1.6.6. Not sure what the reason for that is. Seems like the highs are louder, and the lows are quieter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stoopkid:
I've also been having really low volume problems as well as random lagging which makes phone unusable until a battery pull on the newest update. Reverted to earlier version for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hit a rough spot on 1.6.8, where I got the extreme lag issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
Has anyone had any luck using call recording software with this kernel? I'm running Carbon on Sprint Note 2 with 1.68 of this kernel.

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Hey ffolkes any plans on implementing this amazing kernel for 4.3

Rockin it from my Macknote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skw5115:
+1...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I think the reason Sound-control's EQ doesn't sound good at high levels, is because there's no full dynamic range compression. I hope it can be included in future versions. Until then, I'm sticking with Voodoo Sound.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
I believe the last stable was version 1.65 that gave you the option of Voodoo or Wolfson.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I know, I want to see it in sound control though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
Ahh yes. We all want something at some point or another in our lives. Hope you get what you want. At least, for now, you have Voodoo Sound.

Say, have you taken a look at the Viper for Android Sound mod? It's been very well met by all types of music fans and it runs extremely well on our Note2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrmondaynight:
link to version v1.58? I need voodoo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
It's in the op. I believe that Voodoo was baked into the kernel as late as 1.65.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
How come after I installed this kernel, android os takes up as much battery as screen time in the battery stats screen? I also can't find anything in bbs that indicates what android os is being used by.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
You may have already done this but did you disable media scan in the developers options?

Also try greenify, it does a great job of telling you what you're apps are doing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
I greenified google play services and google now already, which makes it even stranger.

Where's media scan in developer settings?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
I know slimrom has the option built in and cm 10.1 doesn't... not sure about any other ROM. If it's not built in download rescan media root and trek it to disable scan and I think the option to disable scanner on quit should be checked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Wow. That really helped. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
Good. Glad it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
So the android media scan is what's causing all the android os battery use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjs84day:
From what I've experienced it's one of the possible causes and it's helped me a lot with mine os wakelock issue a lot. But greenify and BBS have been huge in helping identify problems, for me:

Greenify for apps

BBS for services

Also, I'm going to try to find the post that explained the android os for me and to give credit to that person.

Android os has been a number of things with 4.2 on our note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flvinny521:
Since flashing Plasma 1.67 and adjusting volume settings slightly lower in STweaks to reduce distortion, my in-call volume is much too low, both on the internal and external speakers. My notification and media volumes are nice and loud. Any ideas? I didn't come up with anything when searching the forums.

Also, is it preferrable to reduce volume by reducing the left and right channels, or lowering the volume boost setting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Any plans for this kernel to work with 4.3? Or is that already being worked on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hopefully, but it's not being worked on yet. Latest commit was 26 days ago.

I might be wrong but I don't think there is anything fflokes can do about a 4.3 kernel until samsung releases our 4.3 update.

Sent from El Grande Note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
You're party right. For all the features of this kernel to work properly he might, but Samsung never officially released 4.2.2. Plus, CM has a working kernel for 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Could be life getting busy...could also be that he's waiting for 4.3 AOSP for the s3/Note2 to setup more into concrete. Even Cyanogenmod themes have barely started supporting 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Not sure I mentioned anything about 4.3 its just been a while. I do understand that these awesome people have lives
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Same here and same questions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ideas4ya:
Hey, this CM kernel cannot be overclocked, is this correct? I was under the impression Plasma was one of the only kernels that I could overclock to 2.0Ghz. Is there a 4.3 kernel that can overclocked out there that I don't know about?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
I don't have the time to read all the replies that I'm sure have accrued over the past few weeks, but I will soon. In the meantime I just wanted to let those that care know that I will be getting back into this in about a week. Plasma kernel isn't abandoned! I apologize for not really being around much lately, real life has been very busy, and I know when I work on this I end up getting sucked into it 24/7 and ignoring everything else.

I haven't been in the loop, but it appears CM10.2 is the new thing. If CM10.2 has a working kernel for the L900, I can try to port some of my commits over to it next week. :)

How do I fix my sound for in call and speakerphone for calls. Sound is low only when I am on calls.

What version of the kernel you running and what rom you on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sideous:
Im on newest plasma with 3.69 4.2 paranoid android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Just wondering have you tried going up and down with the volume go lower then higher and once it gets louder don't adjust it again or you will have to reboot and do the same thing.... Not sure if that will help just read that will work for some.. I'm on slesh PAC 4.2.2 running plasma 1.67
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sideous:
Well I decided to go with the newest 4.3 PA.. Since it fixed the graphical issues it had on the other 4.3 before.

Going to have to wait on a kernel with the mods for 4.3 to fix the low sounds on notifications and ring tones, but at least the in call volumes are better.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hey ffolkes,

Would it be possible to either re-add Voodoo into the 4.3 kernel, or to add Full Dynamic Range to Sound Control? Either one works, but right now Sound Control with out FDR can't sound right, and there's no Voodoo anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Sound is something that I'm hoping to fix in the 4.3 kernel. I too have been plagued by the annoying lack of volume control and other oddities.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
I hear you, brother. I learned the HARD way what happens if you don't take care of you first. Your work ethic and dedication to others is admirable. I hope that the younger demographic of XDA is inspired by you and most of the other developers and contributors here. Take care. Be and feel healthy. Then come back to your hobby when you're ready. I'm sure you will have not lost any fans. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

You should be able to use any sound mod that is made for the DAC in your phone as a GUI for adjusting your sound levels. You can also use the Android DSP mod that is typically supplied with AOSP ROMs. And lastly, the generic android eq app would also have a function for more granular volume adjustments.

Those are some possible solutions to try. Get a nand in a stable state before making changes to the kernel. Also understand that a lot of times devs will disable some of the DAC's functions in the ROM in order to make it more portable to other platforms especially if they don't have a dev model to test on.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

There is always Viper 4 Android (v4a) sound mod that can tweak any sound source, both in and out. It does miracles with that audiophile Wolffson DAC. True clear output.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
I wish real life wasn't so hectic lately. :(

Not quite what you all were hoping for, but here is a very alpha version of 2.0. Keep in mind it's basically a fork of the stock CM 10.2 (4.3) kernel with the mDNIe (screen color tweaking) changes included. http://goo.gl/kBavyS

Don't forget to download STweaks from the Play store. I don't roll it into the kernels because then it won't get updates from the store, should any be released.

I plan to bring more stuff over tonight, the Wacom tweaks, the ABB stuff, TouchWake, etc but I wanted to get this up in case anyone wants to try it.

Update:

Added digital brightness control

Added sound-control (since this and voodoo don't work together, when I'm done I will compile separate sound-control and voodoo versions for those that prefer the latter)

Works fine on the PA ROM in this subforum (RC1 and RC2), but when I tried it on Carbon and PAC, I get the same thing. Just an empty radio icon on the status bar, and blank values in Settings->About->Status.

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't get it. I even tried reverting back to an untouched build of the CM-10.2 kernel, and it still does that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Does it work on Cm? It could be specific commits that those two ROMS use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Turns out there was a problem in the ramdisk causing the hollow radio icon in the status bar. It has been corrected, although for the record I did have weird 3G issues with even the *stock* kernel on PAC - data would just get disconnected and not come back. Carbon doesn't seem affected.

After about 16 hours I've ported everything over and added some new things, like Linux 3.0.97 and exFAT support. I'm running the latest nightly of Carbon 4.3 and everything seems to work. Time for sleep. Zzmoove isn't implemented yet, but it will be soon.

Try it out! (4.3 only)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
