Requirements

* Rooted (obviously)

* I use CyanogenMod as my daily, so i don't test the TW version much..it should be fine though.

Installation

1: Place zip on sdcard

3: Reboot into recovery

3: Clear cache and dalvik cache

4: Flash zip

5: Reboot

6: If desired edit the init script at /system/etc/chronic-config.sh to suit your needs

7: Profit :)

April-23

New Release v3.0 All-In-One AOSP_KK4.4 Kernel!

* Sorry for the long delay. Got burnt out on android for awhile and got some new toys as well so was busy :(

* All the needed updates to kernel and Ramdisk since last release and to comply with CM"s new all-in-one rom build,

because of this we can now use one flashable zip for all qualcomm variants now. I added the auto-loki patching from

CM's rom zips so loki should be done for you. let me know if you have any issues.

* Updated kernel to 3.4.82

* I'm sure there are a few small fixes I forgot since last release but basically you can expect what you did with the last release just up to date.

* Please keep all comments in this Discussion Thread. Any comments not in that thread will be ignored. Feel free to use the DevDB Bug reporting option as you see fit. This is critical in keeping the same question from being asked times in 5 different threads all with the same answer. It was really slowing down development.

* ]If you have problems with frequencies sticking use "No frills CPU Control" and go to Settings and prevent other apps from changing CPU settings

* Although this kernel has now reached "stable" status. bugs still could pop up. please if you find a reproducible bug and decide to post please try and provide a last_kmesg or logcat.

* Versions go as follows: AOSP-JB4.3 = CM-10.2 etc, AOSP-JB4.2 = CM-10.1 etc, TW-JB4.2 = Android 4.2 TW based ROMs, TW-JB4.3: Android 4.3/Google Edition based ROMs

* This Kernel can also be downloaded directly with GooManager *

My Github (main): https://github.com/Team-Hydra/android_kernel_samsung_jf

* First off of course cyanogen, the CyanogenMod project and all who contribute.

* A lot of this was taken/based off of flar2's Kernel for the HTC One, so thanks for the source!

* Also grabbed some things from Faux123's kernel

* All the people who have helped me learn more and more over the past 4 months :) (arco/dastin1018/android1234567) you guys are the best!

I really didn't want to do this but people keep asking so here is a donation link if you want to buy me a coffee or pack of smokes (I go through a lot sitting on the PC messing around lol) go ahead. But not required or expected by any means :)

Note: The name on the paypal account may say patricia, this is because it's a family paypal account. :)

Happy Flashing
