when will this kernel be updated? I really like it and I want more & more :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
It doesn't need updating, everything works perfectly, what more could you ask for? Lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] alinghi100:
I can't charge my phone when it's off because I'm old bootloader (GE by danvdh). In KT kernel there's a fix, here not but I don't like KT..

Lol. If he based his sources on CM (im talking about his AOSP kernel.) there were a bunch of important fixes merged in CM sources in the mean time.

Also, no human product works perfectly, especially software. If your behavior doesn't trigger any bugs, good for you, but there are, and there always be bugs, in kernels, or any other non trivial software.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
What's your point? If you don't like his work then make your own kernel or wait for him to update it in his own time. He doesn't owe you anything, bugs or no bugs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
My point is that your lol is wrong. Now you think how praising his work will make your comment less stupid, but it won't.

He doesn't owe me nothing, and I never said I don't like his work. I just ruined my time telling you there is no perfect software, and updating at this point in time could have sense, since there were some nice updates to CM kernel, which fixed, hopefully, some issues with governors and thread locking, and some deadlock issue IIRC, and probably much more then that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
I'll praise a devs work when it deserves it, furthermore my comment was not stupid. The TW kernel doesn't need any updates (atm). I don't know about any other version ad I've never used them, I'm speaking from what I've seen, not what I've heard.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Besides there is an issue between cm and his kernel, and some others (I have seen people having same issue with Franco kernel on N7 2012.).

Every time I flash faux kernel I lose some apps. Sometimes 5, sometimes 15. Icons usually remain, but files are zero in size. After reinstall everything works as expected.

Battery life?

Im using Stock TW ROM, 4.4.2 with wanam xposed mods. My battery life is pretty bad so Im looking for a kernel which will improve my battery life.

So, hows the battery life with this kernel?

Also, will the sweep2wake feature work with this?

Please reply, thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
If you're overclocked try running stock settings.

Also give the mainline version a go instead of the ultimate, for example my phone couldn't handle the ultimate and that was leading to much heat and random reboots.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tabish84:
The underclocking seems to solve the rr issue but sometime my phone screen flickers for about 3 to 4 secs.

Will this work on TW 4.4.2.?

Hey Faux/Paul i saw on your g+ that ultimate kernel for the one has gpu oc too, i know that it has been asked many times and u don't approve that but...could you please reintroduce gpu oc for gs4 ultimate kernel too? We have almost the same soc as the one, u could stay on the conservative side and enable just the 487 or max 504mhz steps, i would like to try that, you know, i like to try different setups to find best one, I'm confident i can run pretty stable and cold with cpu uc/uv and gain some gpu power to have better fps in heavy games. Anyway, tnx :)

ZRAM doesn't seem to work properly on this kernel. I can give it 1.5 GB, open a bunch of apps, and no matter how many apps I open neither faux clock, nor 'free' in terminal show any swap space being used.

Can anyone on CM/AOSP confirm this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s.p.m:

Do you run AOSP, GE, or TW? If on AOSP /CM, have you noticed some apps get corrupted, or wiped, after flashing this kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zeus85:
I tried this kernel out using the overclocked one performance was impressive but after a nightly upday I reflashed a massive chunk of data had been wiped and I lost loads of programs luckily I always keep a nandroid backup hope this kernel gets updates to tweek the problems has massive potential

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Ok, thanks for confirming it (you are the first one.).

Strange that so few people use this kernel. I flash it when I plan to stay on a nightly a bit longer, then I don't mind reinstalling applications which got wiped after flashing of this kernel. That are almost always same applications (between 7 and 10 or so, few more or less.).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MatteoB92:

Basically because they are flash junkies you say. Yes, updating makes sense, and faux is known not to update very often, but most of that junkies just care about update frequency being high, no matter what actually happens in between.

Btw he (faux) has announced on his g+ account very soon update for devices he supports, so I hope we will get it too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sneakerhead27:
Sorry for the late reply, I use AOSP. Nope, I actually have no problems at all with apps. Only when I enable ART before the kernel (happens when I do that with any kernel actually) so I usually flash kernel after I install my apps, then enable ART. Makes sense to me if I do it that way.

Is anyone here ready to invest a bit, so we could encourage him to do some work for us? I have a feeling there are only few people here interested in this kernel. If you are one please tell if you would be ready by donate a bit to support development.

My financial situation is not so great in at the moment but I would be ready to donate few, say five 5 bucks if there are more people who would like to see/use this kernel.

I think that some of you guys are really disrespectful to paul, he does the best (for me) kernel around, with loads of cool feats and so few bugs (and if u don't believe me just try other kernels, constantly updated but constantly full of bugs and weird behaviours), he does all this with no rewards at all. But people keep complaining. If u don't like this just use another one, it's so simple. Also, what's the point of having a kernel constantly updated if it doesn't fix anything? Every faux release is a distinctive improvement over the previous one. Quality over quantity is what i want. And Paul gives us a lot of quality.

Bla bla bla bla bla.

I have heard that si many times. You just don't have no idea what are you talking about. Where is a post where someone is disrespectful towards him? And as that usually happens, guy 'protects' his favorite dev while bashing other ones (but yeah, very smart, no names. there are three other guys around here.).

Paul updates rarely, and could miss some interesting updates, but he has not time, it is his hobby, his thing, and everything is ok. People who ASK are not disrespectful to anyone. That's normal part of people's communication.

Secondly, it looks like there is a serious issue where bunch off apps dissappears when ones flashes faux kernel.

I have even tried to encourage people to donate, because I like this kernel, and because I like that developers get some attention and at least a small reward for their work, but it looks to me that either people who run faux kernel on their i9505 don't read this thread in xda, or there are only few people who use this kernel on AOSP and this device.

And, you see, everything is still fine, normal, no reason to attack anyone because of different opinion, preferences etc.

I'm running this kernel again, and it is such a pleasure. I was having issues with stock CM kernel in the last few days, so decided to flash this again, spend some time reinstalling apps, and will have to stay a bit longer on this nightly, because of the issue with wiped apps, but it doesn't really matter. It is great. Great performance, great battery life.

His kernels are updated far more then once a year, and this phone is still very popular. The HTC One M7, 2013 Nexus 7, Oppo Find 5, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Nexus, 2012 Nexus 7,... haven't gotten an update yet either, so just wait. I doubt it that he would be dropping support for all those devices, as he stated on Google + that updates would be coming to most of his supported devices. He only updated about 6 devices right now. Just give him some time...

You are a legend on here mate, you don't have to explain yourself. Take as long as you need.

BTW, do you compile kernel with linaro or sabermod? The speed increase is massive on kernels compiled that way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Hehe, this is what I like with this kernel. Not a big difference, but nice one. And this is without silly silly battery saving optimizations, like setting low frequencies. Faux inteliactive stock settings, just set go high-speed to 90 and target to 85, and high speed to stock 1,89 GHz, letting it over when it reaches above high speed d. Sometimes I go low as 77-75, and mostly to 80-85. I was playing with quite different settings from lowering just high-speed to lowering everything else, above high speed delay too, only to settle with mostly his stock values.

Edit: change I forgot to mention is that I set sync frequency to at least 918 MHz, and also up threshold for any CPU load much lower, like 70-75 %. I have noticed that CM settings for interactive were also moving in this direction in the last time (im talking about sync frequency/any CPU load.).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] munkyvirus:
I have a distinct feeling it has something to do with SlimKat. Gonna reinstall CM after work to see if that's the case.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Did he maybe implement support for data, and not for system partitions?

Also he never AFAIK includes RAM disks with his kernel. You must first install a kernel which works with f2fs, and than flash faux kernel directly over it, without any kernel cleaning scripts, or flashing the stock (which acts as reset) kernel.

Curious if the 3 different editions are copy+pasted in G+ or are they truly identical (F2Fs support for TW & GE too?).

Furthermore, wonder why faux worded things in such a way; further control and battery savings (TW), total control (AOSP), best battery life (GE). they all point to the same link :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faux123:
:D Because I don't like to repeat the same thing over and over...

As far as the kernel, they have the same features. F2FS support is in the kernel, BUT you need to REPACK the boot.img with RAMDISK from F2FS supporting ROMs, by default, the released boot.img only supports the traditional EXT4 ROMs. It's more for ROM Chefs and/or advanced users who can repack the boot.img themselves. Look on XDA, there are some free ONLINE RAMDISK repacking utilities that allows users without any tools installed to repack their boot.img.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] suta:

make sure you install or re-install busybox... My app needs a working busybox to manipulate zram settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
That's should not be the problem. Swap is registered and recognized by the system and free command shows the exact amount of space allocated to it. The issue is that this swap space is never being used. No matter how aggressive the settings are. Like I can enter 95 or 100 to vm/swappiness and open a LOT of apps and, I can try to set them under load, etc but there will be no single kb written to the swap space.

Doing same with your kernel on old N7 gives results immediately. Clearly it is a big difference in amount of RAM but still...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faux123:
that's weird, let me check it again tonight. I'm pretty sure swap is used but may take a while to overload the existing RAM.

I just used an app zram status and diskinfo to see if it is active/the right size. When I activate it free -m says

Swap: 1023 total 55 used 968 free

And after some opening/closing apps:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
As I already mentioned a couple of post before, one first has to flash another kernel with appropriate ramdisk, which supports f2fs, like TS kernel. I am not confirming f2fs works on this device with faux kernel, I'm just saying that you need a ramdisk of another kernel, because faux kernel doesn't include it's own.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] brizey:
I did that. Flashed on top of KT while on F2FS. I didn't try to use it on a fresh flash first boot. I have used faux on F2FS on my 2012 N7 and it works fine. To be clear, I am on VZW and used the VZW zip, but it's the same kernel with a loki doki script built into the zip. Only tried once...may try again soon and use this one and loki doki it myself.

Edit: I see now. No anykernel so you have to manually repack. Hmmm...kind of a pain, but I may try to do it.
