Im sure he'll start thinking about it once a 4.3 official cm comes out whenever that'll be so yea...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah... the kernel is the same..just with some updates to the framebuffer code and stuff for the updated display hals..it uses a silghtly different ramdisk though and due to the s4's lame lack of zimage flashing it means it will require two seperate builds.. one for 4.2 and one for 4.3. and as the above poster said...are there any offical or non-offical 4.3 roms out? i havent been keeping up on the forums because i've been working on getting the s4 bugs squashed with 10.2 and trying to get it to boot on my sensation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
There's been a guy posting his own unofficial builds on the official 10.1 thread but that's all I've seen. He's got most of it working but I personally haven't flashed it cuz I don't really wanna put my trust into to some random guy that just put stuff together but those who have flashed said it's been pretty decent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
i'm assuming you mean 10.2? lol

yeah its good now.. i havent used his build but i compiled today and all the bugs i noticed are finally gone. biggest one was the screen would flicker a bit when drawing like the app drawer (buffer underrun) but steve fixed that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Just wanna say I love your kernel man! Been going back and forth between Andy's BoneStock and Dubbsy's GoogleEdition, and your TW kernel keeps them both flying along!

I've found in my S3 days that fsb/L2 over clocking makes a huge difference, provided you can keep everything stable. There was a certain kernel that provided it, and it runs circles around everything else even without overclocking the cpu itself. So it's great to have that feature here.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
I managed to compile your kernel into my ROM, I have to weed out the cm files that are prohibiting complete theming of theme engine but I haven't had a reboot yet. I will say that when I compiled a ROM from Team-Hydra source code that I never had reboots but the screen would not wake up and I would have to do a battery pull and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1z0ku:
Been trying to install the RC2 kernel on dubbsy's Google Edition 4.8 build, and the install fails every time. Tried from SD card and internal storage. Using TWRP. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Think that is a TW kernel I think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1z0ku:
Right, the GE port isn't AOSP based. It uses TW framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
OK first off this is aosp and two kerwnwl look in the op. And you want the aosp kernel NOT two. But I haven't posted the 4.3 kernel. I will be later today once my ROM compile is done . when its posted you will want the JB4.3-AOSP build. It will be defined in the download swction
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
So you're saying the AOSP kernel will work with GE 4.2.2? I'm running Dubbsy's 4.8 with your TW RC2 kernel and it works great. I know that GPE 4.2.2 roms are TW, and so far 4.3 appears to be AOSP, but will either kernel work with 4.2.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XfrostX:
Getting 0 Wake locks except for Google Music and Pandora, but there's no way around that.

Phone runs very smooth, has no reboots, and great battery life. Think were golden here.

Thanks Dev!

Slimbean B7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
use AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
If Pandora and Google Music are running constantly, check greenify in the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] morpheousrx:
To the OP.... What would you say is the best app for applying all the mods your kernal offers ex cpu clock ...gpu clock... Etc etc....

Ive been using koonts kernal because i love the ktweeker app he bjndles with it. Not very familiar with editing init scripts and such...thanks in advance ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I like system tuner. But you'll gave to set the GPU manually with the script so might as well do all of that within the script while you have it open haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Is there any new aosp builds of this I'm on 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
you can use ktoonsez's KTweaker app if you like. they all control the same files...i use system tuner... GPU has to be edited with the script though i think...if someone wants to correct me on that please speak up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] morpheousrx:
Can someone kindly point me in the right direction...like is it the init file in /data which resides on the root of device.... Thank you to anyone who has a bit of patience for me... Been rooting and roming since og droid....just never got into editing system files....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XfrostX:
I've actually got a few wake locks, are they normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
the file you want to edit /system/etc/chronic-config.sh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cubarican84:
Latest TW kernel on stock MDK no bueno for me. Dangerously bootlooped and TWRP **** blocked me for 5 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah i dont use tw, sorry so cant vouch for stability
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
new builds posted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Damn it's buttery :) new build +1

The 10.2 unofficial from Invisiblek didn't go to well for me but whatever. Pretty sure it was cuz I have super su and the integrated su from cm both running and lost root access again like a previous time a few months ago. Just have to get around to uninstalling super su haha. Also when I flashed 10.2 and it first booted worth the optimizing apps it told me I had 140 apps which was definitely wrong. But that may have been cuz I dirty flashed it...I was being a bit lazy.... Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Thanks, been using chronic fir over a month now with no problems and running great on PAC!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
So what your all saying is your "Chronic users" see what I did there little play on words :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
;) haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
if you check on my server, like remove the zip to the link and just go to http://chronic-buildbox.dyndns-server.com/jf/ there is a cm-10.2 build there ive been using.. IF YOU USE IT FLASH IT AND THEN THE KERNEL ZIP OVER. the kernel witnin the build is outdated. but as long as you flash it then the 2.0 zip. it works great... insanly smooth.....

hahaha.

i named it chronic for "other" reasons (chronic pot = really good pot, chronic kernel = really good kernel)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ztkryan:
Flashed this kernel today so far my CM 10.2 is running smooth as butter. Everything is so snappy now:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Do you mean the tmo build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah there is only a tmo version of the rom i compiled..sorry forgot about that lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Hi!

I was trying to use TW-version of this kernel for one day, but didn't quite succeeded. Each few hours right before waking up the phone rebooted. I tried to change OC settings - but no luck. I like OC of L2 cache, and would like to help in debugging. How can I help with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
a last_kmsg of the problem would be helpful

its located in /proc/_last_kmsg

easiest way i've found to get it is install adb on your pc

then

adb root

adb remount

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt

if it hangs it ctrl c

i think there are apps though that will allow you to do this.. just google i'm a dev so i do it the "old fashin" way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Thanks! Will do it. I am also a former dev, so command line - is absolutely no problem for me. :)

The only question: will last_kmsg contain all the things that happened before rebooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Graphic tearing on latest cm10.2 kernel needs to be updated just a FYI for anyone on today's build running this kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chaos2092:
Has anyone else experienced USB transfer issues on the latest kernel? I'm on Slim 7.2, AOSP 4.2.2 obviously but originally I was trying Project Elite's kernel and tried transferring an album in FLAC to my external SD card, something I never had a problem doing before when suddenly it would disconnect and error out every single time I tried it. I flashed Chronic 2.0 afterwards since I wanted to return to Chronic anyways but it seems the issue is still there... although it took a bit longer for it to fail rather than instantaneously.

The green lines issue on the front facing 4.3 camera isn't entirely gone but much better than on 1.2 or even Project Elite's in my experience, for what it's worth. I've resolved my issue by transferring files wirelessly (as I normally do) but just figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else experienced anything similar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Here it is. No matter what ROM I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
ok thanks. and i forget. are u using TW or AOSP based roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
TW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah the TW kernel is more buggy. sorry. i dont really know why. there are so many roms its hard to get it tuned for all of them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Ever thought of making a app that would let us tweak the kernel to our liking? Like an app that would be specifically tailored to your kernel and it's features and would be a nice gui and whatnot.

All this in the future I mean because I know that TW is still pretty iffy and cm isn't officially stable and whatnot but just thought I'd throw it out there.

As well i believe that if your really gonna be flashing custom stuff you should be comfortable with digging thru filesystem and changing Config files heck a little adb and cmd line experience is very beneficial but it is a little cherry on the top to have a nice gui ya know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
i dont really know any java or i would. are there tools to help make apps does anyone know? (not compilers) like things that make it easier for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
I would suggest you to take for testings BoneStock ROM. Also - I could be a tester, if you wish. To my opinion - main difference between CM and TW ROMS - is memory management, that is why there are some bugs which you don't have in CM-version.

Besides - do you use sources for your kernel from specific i545 kernels or they are universal with i9505? Cause there is new stock kernel for i9505 came out on august 6th. And it is much better, than april's one. Can you have a look on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Oh goodie! 8/14 nightly is CM 10.2

Should we then be using the 4.3 version of the kernel...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dickenam:
Yerp! :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Your Github lookin' right, build one time homie! :good: :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mjforte:
Any plans on an update to this kernel for CM 10.2? The latest version boots but has graphical tearing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Did you use the 4.3 kernel?

I'm sure he'll have it updated within the next 12 to 24 hours if it's really borked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
A little bird told me that CAF changed something graphics-related in the past few days, and synching to their repo again and applying the updates should fix everything right up for the next build. ;)

Sent from my VZW Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
new build posted sorry for the delay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Wow PERFECT timing... I was just going to say how much I hate the stock kernel battery xD haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
Super Smooth! Your kernel fixed torch as well. Great job on the kernel.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Kernel has been Great on my phone. No matter what I tried I had problems with Ktoonz and Elite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Love the updates, this has been the most reliable kernel so far using it on Pac. Seems almost as reliable as the stock kernal, amazing work as usual!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
After flashing today's nightly and the current build of the 4.3 kernel I lost all cell signal. Said my baseband and what not with Verizon was not available. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up in case this isn't isolated issue.

I did boot into the nightly before I flashed the kernel so I believe it to be the kernel because it was fine and dandy on just the stock cm kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
my bad been obsessed with a camera bug on the htc sensation in cm-10.2. i'll get on this tonight. its just a ramdisk update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Look forward to a update your kernel is always top notch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Thanks for this kernel! Just flashed the 4.2.2 AOSP version, does anyone have advice for I/O schedulers/governors for a good balance between performance and battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
i use the defaults except i bump max cpu mhtz to 1998 and change scheduler to SIO

everything else i leave the way i have it set in the kernel script etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I was thinking about trying eclipse for a week just to see. I know it comes with ktooz but will chronic work on eclipse?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mjforte:
I don't get any signal with this kernel and the 8/23 CM 10.2 nightly. Worked fine on 8/22.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crookedview:
Works fine with the Euro 8/23 nightly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mjforte:
Hmm very odd because that's the exact build I'm on.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Well never mind, reflashed the ROM and kernel and it works fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Testing TW 4.2.2 build!

UPD: So far - trying to rise maxCPU clock to 2106 caused constant reboots. Redused back to 1890 - working good. Here is my kmsg.

UPD2: Nope, stock clocks didn't make it more stable. Black screen without response. Here is my second kmsg. Sorry.

BTW, all tests was made on BoneStock 1.1.3 - ME7 base ROM. Maybe MDK builds work better with this kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Love this kernel. Best for 4.3 IMO.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Thanks, loving this kernal so far on PAC!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
So I was wondering, what are your preferred kernel settings? Are they just the default settings once I've flashed the kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Yeah except I over clock to 1998
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Once settled, what kind of screen on time are you pulling and how long does your battery last?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadsterflip:
Gonna try this out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rshift:
So I flashed AOSP4.3-v2.1 over PAC and it ran fast. Then I tried the KT-SG4 kernel with quadrant...it ran 5917.

I just reflashed your AOSP4.3-v2.1 and got 8483. What a difference your kernel is compared to the other thanks a lot :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Luk37astic:
When I turn dynamic fsync off in TricksterMod, does that mean fsync is off or on always?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
when you turn Dyn Fsync OFF it means your are always using fsync, as is default in android....if you turn Dyn Fsync ON then fsync is dynamic and off when the screen is on then is turned back on when screen is off to sync
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Whats better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heatshiver:
ROMs?

What are some ROMs that work with this kernel? I am dying to try this out, but didn't work on LiquidSmooth or Eclipse for me. I saw mention of CM10, so I'll try that next, but hoping there are others to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
It should work on any rom, I use it with Pac but have tried it on almost every other aosp rom with no problems. Make sure you are flashing the correct kernel for 4.3/4.2 and TW/aosp

Sent from SGS4 PAC4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heatshiver:
That's what I would expect, but I tried AOSP 4.2.2 with LiquidSmooth, and TW 4.2.2 with Eclipse, and they were no gos... I was using 7-in-1 kernel AROMA installer, maybe that was the reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Where can I find documentation on each individual setting of the kernel? I am interested to know what things like row or bfq change and how the custom CPU governors like 'smartassH3' do. my bad if this is a obvious question. I am not new to modding and tweaking phones, but there are just so many options on these new kernels I don't know where to begin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gandhidog:
It's easy to find online, but if you're looking for the first time it can be tricky thinking of the right search terms. Try googling 'io scheduler' or 'android governors' and you'll find the info you want :)

The best thing to do is just try them all for a few battery charge cycles till you find settings you like. Some settings will be better for performance, some will be better for saving battery. You can also read up online, there's plenty of threads where people have talked about settings that worked for them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
There's a post somewhere I'll try and find it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Thanks man i found a few posts about it on xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
if you dont mind could i have the links? I saw a post awhile back that explained all the kernel stuff but never saved the link. i wanted to link to it in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
new build. the L2 oc seemed to bump benchmarks quite a bit and doesnt seem to impact battery at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Loving the new version. I did have one minor hiccup though, I think I got one SOD earlier today but that's it. Running great otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
Which version you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
2.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
No I mean jb 4.2 or 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Gotcha, 4.3. Yesterday battery life was amazing. 2 hours of on screen time and I was only down to about 50% when I plugged in my in to the charger. Had been on for about 12 hours. Great job man! Much appreciated!

Looks like an awesome kernel. Does this work with TricksterMOD app?

I just got the GS4, rooted, flashed TWRP, and am about to flash CM 10.2 and get everything rolling... will prob give this kernel a try sometime soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah it has fauxsound
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah it works with pretty much any tuning app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
posted a new build....

Screwed up the color on the latest slim weekly build 1.9. Couldn't event unlock the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
OMG... i've awnsered this so many times now. read the Q and A thread next time.....

I updated my kernel to latest CM changes.., they merged upstream changes from caf that require rom changes as well.... tell the slim devs to do a repo sync lol. its the only rom that hasnt been updated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
My bad

Edit: reverted to the 10/6 build 2.2 and all is well. Never actually had any complaints with it anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
yeah all that was really added was the simple gpu governor

I'm gonna release a new build in a day or two when everything calms down with the merging
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] philsfan:
just wanted to say THANKS for the kernel. First one i've tried that's been able to get solid deep sleep with Vanir. amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
I'm at 75% with 45 minutes of on screen time after almost 11.5 hours. This kernel kicks ass!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
What rom? I've tried latest nightly of carbon and vanir and can't get this kernel to work! Stinks too cause I was using 2.2 with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
It's because the latest vanir and carbon roms haven't update some things yet and the kernel is up to date with those changes so they don't play well. I'm still running 2.2 on the latest weekly build of SlimROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
With latest vanir, 2.2 and 2.3 give funky blue screen on boot.. 2.31 boots but I get a computer. Android. Phone has stopped never ending loop :(.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
read the post above you please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
So what rom does this work with? I've tried 3 so far with no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
cyanogenmod, pacman...aokp...and others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
I tried both cyan, and aokp, neither worked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
Was using this just fine until updating to the latest CM nightly (20131026).

It seems to be crashing the com.android.phone process on boot.

After reflashing the nightly zip and skipping the kernel, the problem goes away.

I've tried to output debugging info from this phone, but being such a restricted Linux environment with strange paths, I'm not quite sure how to print dmesg and other system logs.

Do you have some log file locations I can check to output the debug info you need?

I'm not sure this is enough info for him to help you out...

Specifically, when you say "neither worked," did you receive some error?

Did it simply not boot? If so, what point of the boot process did you stop at? The ROM's custom boot logo?

Also, what conditions did you test under? Did you wipe cache & dalvik (may not be necessary, but a minor inconvenience at worst)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
com.android.phone never ending loop with all, 100% clean installs with each. Flashed rom and kernel only (no apps installed) same error everytime. Re-flash rom with stock kernel error gone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZonicTH:
Love this kernel, but it seems to be missing FUSE support. The standard CM kernel has it, can this feature be included with this one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinaldistic:
Fixed here too, but now I'm getting a screen on delay of about 4 seconds... I confirmed its kernel related because I flashed original cm w/its kernel and it doesn't do it... Any setting for this or is this just a bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbjr:
No delay here, using carbon nightly.
