[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Highway 55:
I started a thread in Q&A about removing bloatware. Somebody directed me to this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210784 After removing a lot of the .apks listed in the OP of that thread I no longer get the warning message. I do not know which app was causing it, but I havent gotten the message for almost 3 hours. I was previously getting it every 5 minutes. :cool:

I do realize that this is probably only a bandaid fix, and that the kernel is the source of the problem (pun intended). ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] rawintellect:
Check to see if SEAndroid is still there. I'm betting it isn't. Look in TiBu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
you can find source on:

opensource.samsung.com

type the phone name in top field and start search.

sph-l720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Version v0.1.1 is up and running.

OP updated links posted.

Kernel is based on L720 source by Samsung.

Wasn't able to get rid of that pop up tho.

For now to get rid of of that message I've used the BloatwareFreezerFree app from play store.

In System bloatware find seandroid and freeze it. You can use any other app that's capable to freeze system apps.

You can use any other app that is capable of freezing system apps.

I'll continue my attempts to find where and how it triggered and hopefully can fix it soon.

Till then we will have to freeze the SEAndroid app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] opz187:
Running smooth for me buddy. I haven't gotten any pop up yet. What does the pop up say?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
A warning about some app attempting unpermitted access and suggesting reboot.

You can dismiss the message as well but it comes up every few min.

At least on my phone.

But I have flashed so many things (not exactly working) and so many times that it might be my phone by now and not common.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] opz187:
Yea I been running it now for about an hour with no message. Every thing is smooth as butter
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Krynos:
I'm gonna wait a little bit before I start flashing stuff on this phone. But I wanted to thank you Agat for always making great stuff. I used your kernels back on the E4GT and it was awesome. Keep up the great work! :good::good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] jsmcmahon89:
Hmm I can't get 0.2.0 past the yellow sprint screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
It's been only few downloads (little bit above 20) yet.

But this is first post about being stack on sprint yellow screen.

Can you provide more info?

What are you running? Any tweaks and/or edit's?

Also does any one else have this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] jsmcmahon89:
posted early sorry. I went back to stock and then reflashed FreeGS4. All good now. Time to run it through the ringer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] EPayne123:
Oops, apparemntly careless reading will do that to you. Sorry to OP and appreciate you giving me a heads up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] optimummind:
Flashed v0.2.0 and it booted fine and can confirm that my 64GB Samsung exFat class 10 is detected & mounted. Frandom is working as well, as verified via Terminal Emulator. Thx~! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] monty_python:
Any plans on adding kernel two call recording support?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] jsmcmahon89:
Is there any way to make 0.2.0 boot at 1890 instead of overclocked? My phone can not boot OCd tried every OC kernel several times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Hey Agat,

I did a git clone on your github, editing the Makefile and build_tal.sh to reference the proper directories for the initramfs and toolchains. (i'm exporting ARCH= and CROSS_COMPILE=). It builds both the tar and the cwm .zip and it flashes.

But!

I lose wifi and the kernel build reads as "Unavailable".

I did do a git remote update prior to the latest try without success. What am I missing? Any suggestions? I'm just looking to learn my way around the kernel, and I had a dev box just sitting there, so I figured why not try it out.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] RegnierD:
64gb SD card in exfat working perfectly here. Great work, Agat! Your storage fiend users appreciate the support!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Loaded 2.0, but the CPU stats still aren't right.

I ran a scaling stability test from 162Mhz to 2.1Ghz with each step set at 15sec. Got the system load up to 31! Amazing! But, SystemTuner is only showing 1 core and the times are all wrong. Screenshot attached.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] shizkoff777:
Ive been using 2.0 since Agat63 sent it to me heres system tuner screens

my s4 will kick your ones ass
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
I have no answer for System Tuner time in state zeros.

Here is my screen shots.

My phone is mostly idle next to me since I'm do some work on my PC.

So there is not much activity on it but still I have some times for all 4 CPU's.

I don't know how accurate those times are but at least they not 0's....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] shizkoff777:
Mine work fine too so its not a problem with your kernel

my s4 will kick your ones ass
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
I had kernel build unavailable only when I was using gt-i9505 source.

My initial commit and master branch is that source.

do git branch -a in terminal

it should list all branches available.

Current kernel is in branch L720_MDL

checkout that branch and try to build kernel again.

for build use build_kernel_tal.sh script.

That's most up to date script. But you would have to edit it most probably and either take out the frandom compile part or

if you have frandom source point to your directory.

Since frandom is very sensitive with when and with what source it has been built I just added it to my kernel build script to compile it with each kernel. It takes couple of seconds but it makes sure frandom will work with the kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Your screenshot only shows two cores on the time in state, not 4. Might just be SystemTuner.

I just did a ODIN to MDC and OTA to MDL. I'll reroot and flash/test.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] shizkoff777:
Is this better

my s4 will kick your ones ass
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Stock MDL - I'm not knocking Agat here. I've cloned his github. My concern is reporting values correctly. You can't tune if you don't have good numbers.

Or, if system tuner if correct, then the cores aren't working and fixing the issue enhanced the device. *shrug*

Time to reflash 2.0 and see what changes.

Thanks for the work Agat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
It looks like it was something with flashing multiple kernels for testing. Nothing to see here! :) Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
I'm on 2.0 as well and same one I posted in OP.

I have some time in state for all 4 cpu's.

I don't have any explanation for this.

I'm on stock rom with no other tweaks except hotspot mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
with no OV / UV, OC / UC set, 2.0 is very crashy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Can you please be more specific?

What values? What frequencies?

What rom? What other tweaks, edits or modes you using?

I can't do nothing with what you gave me?

Kernel has been downloaded 40 times and this is first post about it being crashy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] likearaptor:
I have been running 2.0 since yesterday with no issues. This is running it over clocked and under clocked. I checked cpuspy and all frequencies are being used and the four cores seem to kick on when needed. (Stock MDL ROM with very little tweaks other than root). Using System Panel I can see all four cores activate when running complex applications
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
my apologies, I was between patrols @ work

force rom 1.1

I think the freq was actually set to UC, the 180 ish... but zero changes to voltage and no OC

ROW + Ktoonservative

no scripts and no mods otherwise capable of destabilizing the phone (stuff like camera shutter... etcetc)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] testinguser:
Thanks for this great kernel, I am able to get my exfat 64gb microsdxc card to work with this kernel!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
In any manufacturing process there will be variances. Some phones can't handle the super low clocks and some can't handle the OC. Its why Sammy put the minimum and maximum in between.

With clockrates and voltages, YMMV on whaf your individual phone can handle. If it dies as 162Mhz then bump it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
I will not argue the contrary, what you're saying is well known fact, except that my phone would crash in usage and not while screen-off or while I read a webpage etc... it would happen in process of opening a menu or closing an app

the processor never bottoms out during such activities unless for a couple nanoseconds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
When you say your phone would crash what you mean by that?

I did set my frequency to 162 as well (usually don't UC that much) and kept stock voltage all across the board.

Running it since I read your post.

No problems, no reboots, no FC's. Did use navigation and google music for hours.

Got phone calls SMS wile on navigation and google music.

Everything works.

So I'm kinda lost here...:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] likearaptor:
So here is some info from my experience with 2.0. With CPUspy today I show it ran at the 162 Mhz for 1 hr 46 min, which is quite a bit :), I did deep sleep for 13 hours, and all other cpu frequencies with some usage too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
crash = screen tiles out (in widely spaced horizontal bars) to black then reboots and vibrates twice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Did you try to go one or 2 steps up with min frequency?

If yes and have same problems I would suggest you ask rom dev if he has added something that might cause it.

So far there are no other posts about crashes on low frequencies so may be it's not kernel but rom.

And as we all samsung users know samsung doesn't build to phones same. What works on one phone might not work on another.

I hope this is not the case but we have to keep it in mind as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
it began happening immediately after installing 2.0

I restored nandroid after a few hours and the problem ceased
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ACoolGuy:
Maybe you have a bad download. Maybe check the MD5 to verify.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
good idea, I got the md5 but when I went to verify it there was none in OP lol

generally speaking, if a zip wasn't downloaded properly it shouldn't decompress at all because the decompression algorithm will throw some errors at you

it's those downloads that are in their original form, a part of the file would be fully functional while another part corrupted, that are most prone

but just in case, here's what I got

c927080e2acb6bb0fd3595238b19e9a2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
dev host does provide MD5 sum for all downloads.

Is it that imported to duplicate that information on OP?

I think if someone wanna verify MD5 sum the info on dev host is good enough.

If some one don't wanna verify it or doesn't pay attention to it I can make copies in each and everyone on my posts that would not help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] gadget069:
Stupid question, this will work with MDC?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
It should.

I moved to MDL just before version 1.9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] fgr:
Trying to get a custom boot animation going, but not having any luck.

Should it be called bootanimation.zip and put in the /system/media folder?

I moved SPR_bootsamsung.qmg and SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg out and put bootanimation.zip in, but just get a blank screen (permissions are correct).

The boot animation is sized properly and looks like it should work.

What am I missing? According to the OP this kernel does support custom boot animations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Sterist:
I wasn't suggesting that you should, it was just a response to the previous post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] opz187:
You probably shouldn't have deleted those. You need to copy and paste, and overwrite the file in system/media. And it needs to match the name of those files, not bootanimation.zip. There's 3 files I believe. one's the boot up animation, one's the shut down animation, and idk what the other one is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
v0.2.1 is up.

GPU OC'd to 533 MHz.

Kernel is set to boot with stock frequencies since some phones not taking OC lightly.

OP updated.

Link posted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] optimummind:
Just to confirm. The phone will boot with stock CPU & GPU frequencies, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
yea.

That's what it set for.

384 min and 1890 max.

I did reboot few times and check frequencies with System Tuner and Voltage control.

Those a boot frequencies.

I did OC with VC without making it a boot setting.

Reboot and been on 1890 again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] optimummind:
Thx, everything's working great. :D

I really like that you set the CPU & GPU frequencies to stock on boot. I think it's better and safer that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] fgr:
But the idea is to get rid of the Samsung qmg files and use the standard bootanimation.zip. I can put other Samsung qmg animations in there and they work fine, but I wanted to make my own. Has anyone gotten this to work with this kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
init.rc in ramdisk has been modified and edited to support bootanimation.zip files.

However in GS3 we had to do some editing in system too.

Don't remember exactly but you can search GS3 forum and try same steps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] fgr:
Been doing some looking around there already, shouldn't be too different. I won't clutter up this thread any more with this. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] shizkoff777:
Running great here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Lethal_NFS:
Roms works very well. Switched seeing how it supports 64gb. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
v0.2.2 is up.

Updated to Linux 3.4.20.

Added SmartassH3, Adaptive and Wheatley governors.

Added unsecure ADB. Some how missed that till now.

Did some source clean up.

OP updated.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] shizkoff777:
Your just pumping them out lately
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ChadH42:
2.2 boots but once the screen goes to sleep no key press will wake it.

Edit: I re-downloaded the kernel and reinstalled. The new copy keeps re-booting so I went back to 2.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Nut_House:
Same here. Checked MD5 (okay) but would not run for more than about 30 seconds and then it would freeze. Back on prior version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Any one else?

If something broke in the kernel I'll take link down till I figure it out.

We have 20 downloads and 2 users have problems with the kernel.

Let me know if the problem is common please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] RTbar:
I rebooted as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ChadH42:
4 of the 20 are mine from the download retries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Thanks for heads up.

I'm taking link down.

Will go over it tonight when I get home.

Edit: I took the link down for now. I'll run more tests tonight and will try to figure out what happened.

Hopefully it's just a minor typo or small error on my end and I can fix and upload it tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] likearaptor:
One of the downloads was me, but I haven't applied it yet, I will do it later this evening
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] dbpaddler:
Mine rebooted to a blank screen. I rebooted and am running smooth so far.

Edit: scratch that. Got 5min in and reboot with two vibes. Then consistent reboots every 40 or so seconds. Flashed shabby's kernel and am back to normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] bshaw100:
I had the same problem - running it with the Blu Kuban beta2. Went back to 2.0 (was on my card and knew was working fine).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ACoolGuy:
Just a quick note on 0.2.1. Cores 1-3 seem to want to go to 2.1ghz max freq by default even with 1.89ghz selected. Using kernel tuner, I can set them all together or individually and they will stick until the core goes offline and back online. Core 0 seems to be fine even after deep sleep. Went back to 0.1.9 and it does it there too but at least the 1-3 cores revert to stock 1.89. Just my note. Addition testing now reveals the min freq set does seem to stick after cores go offline and on. Just seems max freq setting for cores 1-3 doesnt want to stick to whats set. Just defaults to the kernel max freq.

Edit. Forgot to mention, running stock mdl deodexed rom with crossbreeder installed. Checked crossbreeder for any cpu scripts and it contains none.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Only boot frequency is trottled.

After boot all OC frequencies are available for use.

Since some phones don't play nice with OC I caped the boot frequency so the user can decide for himself what frequencies to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ACoolGuy:
What I am saying is that the above situation happens well after boot. The second third and fourth cores default to 2.1ghz. If you want test it by setting the max freq to around 1ghz. Then let the cores go offline. When they come back on, their max freqs are set to 2.1ghz. Of course this might be a kernel tuner issue, so if anyone else can confirm, it would be great.

Another note: Using system tuner has same issue. Also, kernel tuner has an option to keep all cores online. This option selected will keep the max freq setting to whatever you set for all cores. Obviously batterywise this is not the best fix so ill revert back to 0.1.9 for now to make sure all cores stay at 1.89ghz max.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ChadH42:
I am seeing the same behavior with version 2.1. Cores 2-4 are at 2.1ghz.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

BTW... great kernels! I just donated to your worthy cause...

palpay confirmation number: 1LP03572WA4751539
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Downloaded and installed kernel tuner.

I see available frequencies for cores 1-3 up to 2.1 but as I said they should be there.

Boot frequencies are capped in ramdisk for all 4 cores for boot only. After kernel is booted all frequencies should be available.

When I check current frequency with System Tuner or Voltage control it shows 1890 and I can move slider up to OC.

I made sure (or at least I tried) that kernel boots with 1890 so users who have problems with OC can use the kernel and will be able to figure out what frequencies are safe and stable with their devices.

Does any one who had problems with OC in version 2.0 still have same problems wile running 2.1?

Hi agat63. Your kernel has been running great. Can't wait till the next update. I was wondering if you had any plan on adding fauxsound in? Thank you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
Never heard of it before so it wasn't in my plans.

I'll go over his kernel thread and see if I can do something...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] testinguser:
Are you able to run quadrant? I have the same rom and kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] bshaw100:
I have not
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] RegnierD:
Personally, I would prefer you left that developer's work out of your kernel. A much abridged and kinder version of my thoughts on this this is as follows:

Having paid apps on the Play Store to use features of a kernel that are otherwise lacking any sort of GUI to control them is not XDA. That is money hounding. If Paul were to offer a free and donation version of his apps, I would find that palatable, but would still prefer to use his work as little as possible. If people would like to use his sound tuning tweaks with their paid apps, they should remain on his kernel upon which they can be capitalized. One of the reasons I don't like to use KToonz's kernel is because it has FauxSound, even though his kernel runs well. I just really don't like Paul (Faux123).

Bottom Line: XDA is not about making money off of your work. Donations are donations and it's great that people give them, but should not be required in order to use kernel features.

I'm not trying to start a flame war in this thread. Just provide some input regarding that feature and why I would prefer it remains out of this kernel. If you don't like what I had to say, give Agat the respect of not starting a flame war in here and send me a pm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] agat63:
As I mentioned in my previous reply I never heard of that sound thing and I said I'll look into it.

However,

I never put something in my kernels/roms that would require a paid app to use.

I agree that XDA is not the place to make money but rather learn and share for free.

I have learned a lot from great devs here on XDA and no one ever ask me for money. I'm not planning to start anything like that on my own.

There is an app in development right now specifically for L720 and gti-9505 kernels and I hope to present it to you soon.

It's not been developed by me I'm just helping and testing it.

App will be available for free on play store and/or in kernel and should be able to control and set all aspects of the kernel.

I do get some donations and I greatly appreciate any help and/or input into my development but I never made donation to a condition.

And believe me when I say that good portion of all donations I receive I channel down to other devs that have helped me to get where I am.

For me personally this all is about fun and not money and about learning great stuff and about squeezing every bit possible out of our phones.

And rest assured that nothing that requires paid app to be used will make it's way into my kernels. ;)
