Information.

Just released a new OC test kernel to my tester. Rewrote frequency table and it should therefore be much more battery friendly than the previous kernel he was testing. Also added a few S5 Lollipop animations.

My own initial tests shows better battery life and still very fast execution under normal usage.

Only when the CPU overclocks it should use more battery than the non OC version. But it is of course possible lower the max freq. using Set CPU.

Stay tuned.

Regards.

Hi bro,

Love the new boot animation...Note4 animation

Nice, just flashed and will begin testing.

Edit: Initial testing: Bootup is much faster than previous OC kernel.

I see you have add to initd to booster SD card performance to 2048......GOOD :good:

So far, snappy as usual.

Will continue to monitor....

Have to comment again, boot animation is awesome.

Hi DeHAWK, is the the "ScreenMirroring_fix.zip for TWRP" always in scope or it had been left ? I'm on XXUCNJ1 insecure kernel & XXUCNJ1 De-Odexed KNOX free syste from before 2014-12-20 and I want to update.

Thanks !
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Screen Mirroring fix is only needed when running insecure kernel or insecure overclocked kernel on XXUCNJ. Both XXUCNJ1 kernels in OP 4.4.2 section has the fix included, it's advised to be used with my special made SecSettings.apk, always showing 'Official'.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] altahichamzio:
Bro, I'm using your insecure kernel V3.4.0 11/22/2014, and you said this :

"OP Update.

4.4.2 section, subsection 4th - You want De-Odexed and KNOX free?

The XXUCNJ1 update zip has been updated with my own modified SecSettings.apk. This means you will always see 'Official' under phone status. I did this to make the Screen mirroring would work even after flashing my insecure XXUCNJ1 kernel.

4.4.2 section, subsection 2nd - Rooting instructions.

Insecure kernel zip file for XXUCNJ1, updated for Screen mirroring.

Attention: You should NOT use these files if already running my XXUCNJ1 insecure kernel from before 2014-12-20 or my XXUCNJ1 De-Odexed KNOX free system from before 2014-12-20. In that case you should wait for my ScreenMirroring_fix.zip for TWRP."

So, what I have to do to update kernel for ScreenMirroring ? (without data wipe! :))
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Sorry, my fault...need to update that section...

Ok, flash latest insecure kernel for XXUCNJ1 using TWRP.

After the flash, go to advanced wipe and select Dalvik cache and cache.

Reboot and your Screen mirroring should now be working.

Must admit that I totally forgot to change the instructions.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for letting me know.

Hi

Just discovering this thread now

I am currently on android version 4.2.2 19506XXUBMK7

When I go in to check what is the latest firmware 4.4.2(Sammy Mobile) it has product code Ireland (Vodafone) - VDI. I am currently on a different network would that have any effect on updating ?

If not then is it just a case of using ODIN to update the firmware to 4.4.2 making sure I take a back up with ROM back up? I use Rom Manager for Back up this should do the trick correct?

Was thinking of installing CyanogenMod 12.0 for Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506) but don't want to do a factory reset and was told on that forum have to update firmware first??

Thanks

Oh my god thats so beast!!! I cant wait for download link.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Still testing and pushing frequency further up. Max. frequency in the test was 2534 MHz. A lot of issues has been fixed since the first release. I managed to lower the voltages for all the frequencies, even the high frequencies, those over 2.265MHz, quite a bit. Boot time is very fast, also using new boot animation. In this build I also played with the level 2 cache speed, raising it a few hundred KHz, but it seems I can raise it even more. Still haven't played with the GPU frequency, max. is still 450 MHz. The maximum memory bandwidth also needs to be adjusted.

Now the problems; atm. only one application I have tested don't release the CPU after closing it and even after cleaning memory. CPU is stuck on a high frequency instead of returning to 300 MHz. This will of course drain the battery...if you're not aware of it.

The way I fix it, I just open SetCPU and press the highest frequency or lowest possible - doesn't matter.

I suspect it's a problem with the camera app.

I also made a build using Lollipop GPU sources, but it seems that KitKat is better.

Atm. I'm constantly monitoring the CPU temperature, right now it's 34 degrees Celsius.

Now stay tuned.

Regards.

EDIT

I just flashed my NON OC kernel. Camera app has exactly the same problem. So it must be an app problem.

CPU temp seems to be higher than on the OC kernel, 1-3 degrees Celsius.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Information.

Just ran Antutu on NON OC kernel.

Screen shot attached.

CPU gets hot...over 60 degrees Celsius. CPU probably stepped down frequency to protect itself.

Antutu did not release CPU after closing it...stuck on high frequency...

New NON OC XXUCNJ1 insecure will be ready for download later today.

Changes: Added bunch of governors and schedulers.

Few minor changes in code.

Added new boot and shut down/reboot animation.

If you don't like new animations and boot sounds; look in media, original files in there with .bak extension.

Stay tuned for download link.

Regarding OC kernel; lowest frequency changed from 300 MHz to 288 MHz and phone still rock steady.

Hey DeHAWK, can you add GPU overclock (550mhz?) in next OC kernel? I think it helps in hard gaming.

Hey bro,

Although it seem to flash ok, there is an error during flashing with TWRP.

E-Error executing updater binary in zip..... Failed

For your info.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

No errors here, using TWRP v2.8.1.0.

Strange.

Btw. Need to update v2 with an init.d script to speed up SD Card access.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Strange, flash it second time, still having that error tho it flashes ok.

Using 2.8.4 TWRP.

Using your previous init.d script for sdcard.. Working fine.

Edit: change TWRP 2.8.1 and still get the same error. But it actually flash fine.

Previous kernel build don't have this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro.

Seems to be a problem with TWRP v2.8.4.0. There's nothing in the script that could cause such an error. Script is the same as for the first NON OC insecure kernel.

Just copied a few lines from the OC kernel script to set permission on the boot animation files.

I've read about people having similar problems with v2.8.4.0.

If there was an error in the script, TWRP should definitely not flash the file at all.

Did you read my pm.?

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Hey bro,

Anyway, I flash back to TWRP 2.8.1

Hey bro,

Your latest Non OC kernel is working fine and no battery drain.

I had use the camera app and let the frequency hover at 1958 during deep sleep.

Result is as attached.

Imagine what it would have been if the frequency drop back to 300.

Awaits your solution.

Hey DeHAWK! When you are going to release new OC kernel? :) I've used the old OC and this is the best result what I can reach in Antutu:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

That's a nice score, still better that the S5 and One Plus. I'm still working on the new OC kernel, but have spent a lot of time trying to fix the camera issue...but still no luck.

But again, I do have a version ready that could be released. It's not faster but much more battery friendly than the first release. Lowest frequency is now 278 MHz, it just refuses to go any lower...furthermore I lowered all the voltages quite a bit, resulting in less battery consumption. Latest test, was over a 6 and a half hour with phone on, had been using it before it went to deep sleep and it did receive notifications during the sleep.

Average battery consumption during that period was approximately 1% per hour. Which is much better than before.

Can put it online if wanted.

Regarding higher frequencies; still needs more work. Working on level 2 cache RAM, GPU, RAM and bandwidth.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Information.

A couple of screen shots. Phone left untouched for over 9 hours.

If this is acceptable, I'll put it online.

EDIT

Just purchased Faux kernel control...

With his app I was able to adjust the frequency for the Camera app.

Now it's no longer stuck on high frequency...

Great app. btw.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
How you get faux to fixed this?

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Not ready yet. Was suddenly having strange lagging video in the Antutu video part. Just didn't understand it because I had seen it work earlier.

Tried everything, even reverting back code...nothing helped.

Finally I made a factory reset and now it was working perfectly again.

I suspect an installed app for this, quite sure it's BatterySpy. Because it actually happened after that installation.

Now I need to change my code... again.

Sorry guys, but I don't want to give you a crappie kernel.

But stay tuned.

Oh my god I think my phone is insane or something :D This is the best score what I've ever got from antutu.. I think this phone model can walk over Note 4 with 2.5-2.6ghz frequency..And with GPU overclock too
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Very nice bro.

But have a look at by latest build. Still testing, but can leak some info.

GPU clock raised a little bit, CPU freq also raised a little bit.

Also found out that my kernel is ok, the problem with app stock on high frequency was not kernel related,.

After a factory reset and only installing CPU Spy, I realised that all apps was clocked down to 300 MHz.

But after using SetCPU the problem came back. The only way to make it behave normal again, was to make yet a factory reset.

Now using ROM Toolbox for this.

Also had to remove the 278/288 MHz low frequencies, it was causing unexpected behaviour.

Well enough for now, enjoy my Screen shot.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] exelator:
Wow thats nice result! But thats really weird, apps can stand overclocking but not underclocking?! By the way, I recommend you to use 3C Toolbox Pro, its really awesome app (sooo many features etc etc).

Hey Bro

I'm not sure, but it might be because of the bootloader. IFAIK cm12 requires a 4.4.2 bootloader.

But you better ask those guys in the cm forum, since I have never used cm. Consider upgrade to 4.4.2 XXUCNJ1 it's actually quite good.

I'm now on 5.0.1 on my old phone, the one that used to run 4.2.2. Not sure if I like it, but at least it's possible to go back to 4.4.2.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey Bro

Skip XXUCNH4 and update to XXUCNJ1. Both XXUCNH4 and XXUCNI1 no good. XXUCNJ1 is the only really stable version.

Download it from my OP, flash and use AutoRoot for XXUCNJ1. Then flash a TWRP and you can now flash the XXUCNJ1 slim version using your TWRP. Now you can decide to flash an insecure kernel or not.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I have made an AutoRoot for 5.0.1.

As said in a previous post, I didn't have much luck with Chainfire's version.

I therefore had a look at his version and found out that he was using the old XXUCNH4 binaries. I therefore made a new version made with the 5.0.1 kernel and recovery binaries. It's still Chainfire's root process and root binaries so my thanks to him for those. My version, like Chainfire's, uses latest SuperSU and su binaries.

I take no credit for his work, I just needed a fully working 5.0.1 version made 100% for 5.0.1.

I can put it up here in the thread if wanted. Otherwise it will pop up in the 5.0.1 OP section...when I get the time to make it.

Regards.

Btw. You could have flashed any of the 5.0.1 versions and then flashed your 4.4.2 NEE CSC/Hidden. That's what I did. But that's an other story.

AutoRoot specially made for GT-I9506 running Lollipop v5.0.1 - get it here.

As said before, I once again had to make my own special version of Chainfire's CF-Autoroot.

This one has been made specially for 5.0.1 Lollipop. It's has been tested many times on my own phone and is 100% compatible with the XXUDOA6 firmware.

It contains Chainfire's latest SuperSU and su binaries.

The archive also contains Odin 3.07, set-up and ready to flash, just add the .md5 file from the same folder.

After the flash; you might see phone return to the GT-I9506 screen not 1, nut 2 times. This is normal and only happens after the rooting.

When ready, you will be at your normal startup screen.

You're now rooted.

For any further questions, please post here.
