REV1.4 released

21/sep/2013

RELEASE REV1.4 = This kernel is already in FLEX-BEAM REV3.1

Ramdisk changes

Empty folder mounting fixed when using Cifs @ mkasick (Thanks to j-heath for pointing me out the problem) This is a problem that is caused by the multi-user support on Android 4.2.2 so the kernel and ramdisk needed some patching

Support for 5110 / 5100 / 5120

DOWNLOAD IN OP.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] tigerporc:
Thanks for the latest 1.4 release. Will fstrim be supported in future versions of this kernel?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
and I was pretty sure my OFD days are gone and I have it all under control...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Dark-Master:
Is this only me?

I think pen alignment in 1.4 is a bit off from 1.3 which I feel, is perfect.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
on mine, in xda app, while writing this very post, the cursor is 3-4 mm to the left from pen tip

Thank you. I'll try again.:good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] bibi_50:
Mine too, with the 1.3 kernel version included in the ver2.2 rom (not updated yet)

3 or 4 mm to the left from vertical s-pen

And this, from 1st day of ver2.2 installation , but thinked it was ok
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
I look at it and the stock kernel got the same problem.

I think it is not a kernel problem but a framework problem, I will take a look at it.

EDIT:

YES I can confirm it is a framework problem , I will fix it in next rom release (FLEX-BEAM). But there is no way that it will be fixed on original samsung rom as the framework needs to be changed.

Need to edit the xml file in the framework , the X and Y Axis values are wrong ? Why I don't know.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
bit naive perhaps, but what are the odds that your framework would work on stock ROM?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
It is possible that it works (it should) , but I mean that users with full stock rom with no root or custom cwm won't get it fixed.

You will need to replace the framework and the kernel and that requires root or custom cwm .
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
Thanks, I will certainly try this, just for the fun of it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
I already uploaded patch for it in the flexbeam thread and in the Q&A thread of the Flexbeam rom As it is not kernel related. Look over there.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] tghandour:
Mate did you try installing the S-Pen patch on Samsung stock ROM?

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Civato, first thanks for the excellent kernel.. Second concerning the S-Pen framework patch, is anything else changed from the stock ROM framework other than the S-Pen X-Y coordinates?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
It works!

Just finished (small hiccup with mega server's dislike for Android browser), cursor position perfectly aligned, no problems so far (after 5 minutes of using, that is).

Lockup coming out of sleep

Anyone else having this problem?

I have a 5110 with the 4,2.2 installed on it from this forum. I tried installing this kernel yesterday. It mostly works fine until you put the tablet to sleep. When I try to wake it up, the tablet is very sluggish and unresponsive and doesn't get any better with time. I usually have to force a power down and reboot to get it to respond.

I tried going into recovery (TWRP) and cleaning out the cache and dalvik cache. I thought that solved the problem, but it appears to be temporary. Give it a few hours and the tablet locks up on wake again.

I would really love a solution.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] perlmane:
I had that problem at speeds above 1704. I have mine set at 1704/100/ineractive/cfq and am having no issues at all.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] iCurmudgeon:
Okay, but I have my top speed still set to 1600 max, and besides, I throttle it down to 1000/500 when the screen is off.

mudge
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] perlmane:
I throttle down to 100 and am in interactive. It works for me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] iCurmudgeon:
So, does anyone have any ideas as to how to cure this lockup? As I said the only thing that appears to work is wiping the system and Dalvik caches, but that appears to be just a temporary solution.

Update 9/30/2013

The lockups were happening more and more often, so I gave up and restored the original 4.2.2 kernel. Too bad, I was really looking forward to testing NTFS compatibility ... oh well, live and learn.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] iCurmudgeon:
Apology

A couple of days ago I installed the Rev. 1.5 of Civato's CivZ kernel on my Galaxy Note 8 running Android 4.2.2 and immediately started having problems with the tablet locking up when coming out of sleep mode. I naturally blamed the new kernel for the problems. Well, I was wrong,

I finally tracked the problem down to a damaged copy of Nova Launcher (how it got damaged is still an open question). Things continued to go downhill even after I reverted back to the stock kernel, to the point where the home button stopped working and notifications weren't showing up. I removed and reinstalled Nova Launcher and everything went back to normal. So I decided to reinstall the CivZ kernel again, and everything is still working fine.

So I apologize to Civato and anyone else who may have been upset by my messages. It wasn't your fault, guys, it was mine. Mea culpa.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] perlmane:
Aren't computers great? Props to you for figuring it out. You did a lot of work to isolate the problem and fix it.

Tweaking the kernel

Is there a utility to tweak the kernel settings available (like STweaks for the Perseus kernel?).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] p107r0:
You mean, like, besides those two mentioned in post #1?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] iCurmudgeon:

But the new version of kernel 2.0 has a problem, draining of battery is insainly quick. Plz fix it for next version. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] gqinside:
I did try going back to v1.5 and come back to v2.0 then working just fine. But I don't understand why that happened to me yet. Anyways, thanks for your great work! Peace! :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] tghandour:
Excellent work Civato.. However, I observed the same high battery drain in v2.0 Compared to v1.5 to the extent that my battery dropped from 73% to 13% after just 5 minutes of playing PVZ2!!!

Using the device for an hour this morning in some browsing, TB and some cleaning dropped the battery from 93 to 53%. A restart dropped the battery to 30%!!!!

Also some apps are force closing every now and then like Skype and Google+..

Reverting to 1.5 for now.. Civ would you please have a look at it :confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] farhanito:
Hi civato,

Is it possible to enable OTG charging from the kernel level?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
Not a kernel problem, my battery life is great with the new rev2.0, nothing changed regarding battery , only updated to new samsung source and the only thing changed for the KONA was wacom driver.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] tghandour:
I reverted back to 1.5 and things back to normal, normal battery performance restored. I waited more than 24 hours to reply to be sure. I installed v2 twice and reverted back to 1.5 as each time I experienced a weird battery behavior (Dead battery like behavior). I have XXCMH2 installed and changed nothing since v1.3!!!

Anyway as far as nobody is experiencing similar behavior, probably it is the ROM and will try to dig deeper to get the reason of such battery behavior in v2.. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ChandraV76:
I flashed this kernel on top of stock (Indonesia) rooted 4.2.2 N5100, and it's nice. but since then, my note 8 always turn on by itself (from power off to on) after few hours since I shut down it. is it related to this kernel? or anything else? please help. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] pnKK:
I think your device is turning on like that after is fully charged. Mine dose the same with this kernel on it. So don't be afraid.

Interactive and Pegasusq updated

Samsung bug fixes

Car OTG ; Audio OTG enabled

Testing..................
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Mystique:
It seems as if lulzactiveq is the only governor that actually shuts cores off..

Pegasusq, ondemand, etc seem to let the cores idle at their lowest speeds..

I am running the matching rom from the developer on my 5110.

Full wipe from philz recovery..

Looks like trickster does not see mpdecision or the in kernel equivalent..

I'll check the configuration via proc later when I have time..

Is that correct?

(It may be intentionally done just not desirable..)

##############################################################

REV2.2 is in final testing, if all goes well release will be tomorrow.

I had a lot of testing for the 700MHz GPU OC.

The OC was not the problem but to get the settings working in trickster mod was a pain.

It is solved and testing will continue.

Where REV2.1 got the max of 5800-6100 points in the Antutu GPU test the REV2.2 with the GPU set at 700MHz got a score of 6900-7200 points on the gpu test.

I only did it to get the maximum benchmark performance, these settings will eat up battery very quickly, haven't tried undervolting anything, if you want battery life, you have to experiment

NOTE: your mileage may vary and overclocking is dangerous, don't try it if you are not 100% sure what you are doing.

#########################################################################################################################################

CivZ Note8.0 stuff reached 19017 downloads , not bad :good:

#########################################################################################################################################

My personal kernel settings are:

CPU Idle mode: Idle+LPA

Dynamic Fsync on

Governor: Pegasusq = The updated version puts 2 cores to offline after a while and wakes them up only when there is heavy load like games or benchmarks.

Sheduler: CFQ

Read Ahead buffer size: 1024

CPU:

1800MHz (best setting for me and almost no impact on battery the voltage is 1363mV for step 1800MHz in my case)

Undervolt of -50mV on all steps.

The 100MHz step got a voltage drop of -100mV so it is at 800mV now.

GPU:

-50000 Voltage drop (2 steps) = 160 / 266 / 350MHZ speeds (I do not increase the 1 / 2 / 3 steps as they are for video , media etc and not gaming so in my opinion it will only drain the battery faster as step 4 is used when you are gaming so that is the only step you should be increasing , the other steps you can underclock if you want to save battery)

Step 4 is set at 640MHz and the voltage is on default 1075000. (This way I didn't need a voltage increase and the performance is very close to 700MHz GPU clock).

I use the default thresholds

TIP:

Normally if you don't OC you can easily drop voltage on the CPU with -50mV (2steps) and the same on the GPU (-50000 or 2 steps). This will increase your battery life compared to a full stock rom
