in responce to [MENTION=3575384]wrusry[/MENTION]

Basicly Arco's and ADC keep their kernels pretty much inline with all the mainstream commits some times one will apply one commit and another wont. Similar happens with the difference between Arco's and christophers with the difference that the K^Kernel also applys some tweaks things that you might change say if we had a kernel manager app you see with other devices. Along with some commits to lower the voltage used by wifi/display/vibrator that have been around for a while and i copied from another device to christophers kernel. It was in castanialITs kernel back when he had like for ICS and now Christopher has applied the same but had it only changed for s plus in his fork.(dont quote me on that exactly but you get the idea) And i always compile the rom/"stock kernel" with the standard gcc compiler included with CM sources and both the ADC and K^Kernel get compiled with the latest linaro toolchain by Christopher.(At least i try to keep up with what hes released, usually a new one every month)

@ all

As far as things that don't work the only thing i know of is that the lowest quality in camcorder, doesn't work. It been like that since initial release. Because of this if you try to create a MMS text and add a attachment then select capture video it will not record because MMS uses the lowest quality. It is the next thing im working on but im unsure of how to go about it. Unfortunately it seem that the galaxy w/S plus are not affected so we are not getting much help.(alot of changes honestly come from those devices first) Apparently our libcamera was compiled a little before theirs or something and is slightly different. [MENTION=5292938]DevConnection_Team[/MENTION] has not finished reversing the libs yet to open source them so not alot we can do and its beyond my capabilities.(Not sure if they are still working on it either) Hopefully ill be able to find a fix soon to include in the CameraHAL me and [MENTION=4657373]jfbs[/MENTION] have been trying to figure out a good way of doing it. Unfortunately i dont have alot of time and [MENTION=4657373]jfbs[/MENTION] is pretty busy with his other roms. Good news is as far as i know this is the only real bug thats not in the android source(device specific) please let me know if you guys find anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Wow I just dropped by out of curiosity and it's hard to believe how much [MENTION=1816400]cars1189[/MENTION] has stuck by this device. He's the last one standing out of the "original gang" so to speak. I can remember when he was making kernels for CM9 and now he's making ROMs based on CM11. Everybody left who is using this phone is fortunate to have him still developing here. BTW I still own this phone, someday maybe I will update it and sell it (hell by then I might not even be able to give it away!).

Hey Guys I was receving a lot that DSP manager had stop working specially when i start appolo so i disabled it and the volume of my phone got a very good boost i dont know what happened but i though i should tell u
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Update

Hey guys another CM11 update. I think you guys will be surprised to see a nice change in ram use. :) Its thanks to a change by [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] / [MENTION=4825437]Christopher83[/MENTION] / [MENTION=5292938]DevConnection_Team[/MENTION]. Also [MENTION=700912]arco[/MENTION] has enabled TRIM.

Edit: Also i realized ive been neglecting the 10.2 builds... Ill work on that later this week or mid next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ricedragon:
Is there a good OC kernel for the latest CM11 build? I saw two kernels from the last build but not sure of they are over clocked. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
the Chris^K kernal is
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
The lower ram use and TRIM come from the kernel, so for those youll need a new kernel build....ill work on that today. Shouldnt be long ill add it to the CM11 section soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Kernels

Hey guys. I went the extra mile today and when i compiled the kernels i also compiled extra builds with different configs so we can enjoy K^Kernel in its true full glory. And ill try to do this from now on. ( [MENTION=4825437]Christopher83[/MENTION] ) Enjoy!

Note: Im only linking the standard builds in the CM11.0 section, to keep it clean, but you guys are smart people if you look youll find the other builds on my androidfilehost

Also I can not stress enough with the undervolt builds there is a higher risk involved please be careful.

Edit: also with the other kernels i just noticed they haven't added the TRIM commit for us yet but i asked Christopher to add it so im sure itll be in there soon.

Also one thing ive noticed is that even 480p works for the xhm(extra high memory) build which gives the user space 406MB vs the ~350MB we have with stock.

Also since i know some people might be wondering:

Both for cpu

uv=undervolt

exuv=extra undervolt

Memory is as follow:

hm=high mem 380 MB of free RAM

vh=ver hgih mem 390 MB of free RAM

exvh=extra high mem 406 MB of free RAM

the build that is labled just OC is 370 MB of free RAM

More info can be found in Christopher83's K^Kernel thread here.

Also while camera works im not 100% sure about things like youtube and netflix with the higher mem builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] karaki93:
Hey man the latest build is great but when switching to ART its a total mess
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
What happens? How much app space do you have free? Are you using a different kernel or just the one that come with the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
Well SH*T it feels like X-mas today lol thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jajb:
Seriously [MENTION=1816400]cars1189[/MENTION], you've done an incredible job!! Thank you so much for updating all the kernels! Performance is literally day and night for me when using Christopher83's K^Kernel OC. So far your 6/18 build is running very well!

Regarding Netflix, i'm still encountering the same problem as mentioned here

The only other bugs I've encountered in your 6-18 build are the following:

- Current call cuts out when receiving a second incoming call (have to wait until second incoming call stops ringing in order to get back to current call)

- Low in-call volume while using headphones

- Experiencing volume spikes/playback skips when listening to music via Apollo and or Google Play Music (playback skips only). This happens when I am navigating through various menus/apps. Attached is a logcat from when I was using Apollo. EDIT: Only happens while using the Google Now Launcher EDIT #2: Unfortunately, you will need to disable "Ok Google" detection to resolve this issue for now.

Just about everything else I tested works great, including YouTube.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ricedragon:
More than we could have asked for. High mem/ uv works well so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
i can verify youtube works with 406 on your build and jfbs build. if anyone is have problems with youtube or think im just bs'ing about it working i can take a vid later today.wifi and data "h" not data "e" works.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] karaki93:
I still have about 200mb free, i am using cristopher kernel i got a lot of apps that stops and it always show a black screen for seconds then stops almost every app i try to use and by the way why the flash doesnt work with video?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfbs:
Looking through some of these defconfigs and it appears the clock speed is set to 1.4 GHz by default. Not all of ancora_tmo chips can handle that frequency and maintain stability. It could be something else entirely, but try lowering your cpu.

edit: keep ksm disabled for video and use charged battery for flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
This could be a issue for some people and yes hes right dont use ksm with these builds from like now on even in stock its not a good idea because of kenel changes. However [MENTION=5415727]karaki93[/MENTION] ( [MENTION=4657373]jfbs[/MENTION] ) is talking about art and which i would suggest setting the kernel up as close to stock as possible when diagnosing, but this could be just an art issue. When you guys try art gotta remember its new and not all apps have adopted it and not all bugs in itself are worked out. When trying things i always suggest using a stock system then try oc kernels or w.e. [MENTION=5415727]karaki93[/MENTION] please try lowering the cpu freq then if that doesnt work try stock kernel and then if even that doesnt work post here again with logcats and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwolfman:
Wow! The 6/19 build of CM11 with the uv xhm K^K kernel is awesome!

Well, once I got a good minimal gapps loaded and removed a bunch of stuff from the ROM. I've got about 170 MB free in the ROM area according to Titanium Backup, and I have all my regular apps loaded. :D

All the other KitKat ROM/kernel combinations I've tried for this phone have problems due to extreme RAM shortages or running out of space in the ROM area.

I'll have to try this for a few days, but I think I've finally found a replacement for AOIP JellyBean 2013-Aug-10 build as my "daily driver". :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
i found pa gapps to work best for the bare gapps at least with theses newer kk roms. the 1.225 voltage at 1.4ghz is nice as well if your phone can handle it. and having that 406 ram really helps in real gaming (not candy crush type) or anything ram intensive. :D

Edit: [MENTION=4657373]jfbs[/MENTION] about the dcfg like you was saying about some people not being able to use them specs. so after doing massive research setting the default to 1.2ghz and a decrease 0.025 decrease from stock voltage should work for everyone as far as safest range goes with boost.

[MENTION=4657373]jfbs[/MENTION] [MENTION=1816400]cars1189[/MENTION] i have also notice something with the kernels that are defaulted to 1.4ghz over the standard 1.0ghz all boots including first boot is faster on the 1.4ghz are a lot faster. not sure about first boot on the 1.0ghz but after using a 1.0ghz and setting it to 1.4ghz at boot you still only use 1.0ghz til your booted in android. now while this is nice to know as each person can get the most out of there phone from the start. it would be too much work to manage that many kernels. so i think an increase to 1.2 should still help boots and the system loading. it's just a thought that's all.

Bluetooth streaming

Having an ongoing problem with CM11 (both jfbs and cars versions), where Apollo and/or Google Play music wont play over Bluetooth. I have my phone paired to both my car stereo and my motorcycle helmet. I can make and receive phone calls no problem, but when I try to play music I get an error that the file could not be played back.

I've noticed many other posts from other CM11 on other phones with the same problem, so it isn't just the Exhibit. Has anyone heard anything about this??

Thanks to all that work on these roms, you time and effort is greatly appreciated! I'm currently running the latest Cars CM11 and K^K kernel.

Joel
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Thanks for the post. Which gapps did you use? I also was a long time user of AOIP.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwolfman:
Well, I started with the last Slimroms GAPPS package at the time (Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.3build.5.8-60.zip). I had a lot of issues even with that by itself, especially after I started installing my regular apps on it. But there was also the issue that I dislike the inverted versions of the Play Store, since some of the font combinations that produces become unreadable (like an "almost white" font on top of a white background), which seems to the be the only option in that Slimrom GAPPS

I finally used 7Zip on my PC to replace several of the APK files in the above Slimrom GAPPS file with the corresponding APK files in gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip, as well as remove a LOT of stuff from it that I don't need. I'd have to list out the changes I made, which got me a good starting point to then not bog down the system partition after I started installing apps.

Part of this is due to me placing a few apps in the system partition as well as making sure everything else in GAPPS is loaded as a user app (like Hangouts, Maps, etc).

So far it's been working pretty smoothly, and I typically still have between 50 MB and 100 MB free RAM (according to OS Monitor), depending on what I do on the phone. I'm using the UV XHM K^K kernel.

Though I do have some occasional FCs for some things like the Picasa Uploader, Camera (that happened once, and I lost the picture I took) or other odd items. So far it seems if I just re-do the function/app, and it works fine again for a while.

Because of that I'm thinking of switching to the UV VHM K^K kernel (next one down from the XHM one) to see if that helps with the FCs, since there was a mention of some possible FCs with some apps on the XHM one. Anyone know if it's safe to just load the other kernel over this existing setup? Would rather not have to reload everything again if I don't have to.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
You can flash the kernel zips over anything the only requirement is to match the rom you have installed with the kernel youre choosing. (cm11 with cm11 kernel). The kernel zip replaces only kernel files and all kernel files it needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwolfman:
Thanks, cars1189. I'll start trying the other k^k kernel and see if it helps with the FCs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
actually the kernels work ANY of the 4.4.X roms that both cars1189 and jfbs puts out. Slim, DCM, and CM11 obviously dcm is just cm but slim isnt at least as far as i know. so flash away but honestly the last few test builds of dcm i've been getting fc's even with kernels that i know work. its just a rom side bug that will clear out eventually but even if it doesn't for w/e reason we do have better kk roms then using gb,ics,jb roms now. Now don't get me wrong the other devs we have had in the past have done amazing work over stock rom and more.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Hey guys, i have added a 10.2 build i know i almost completely abandoned it like i did 10.1 sorry. They just dont see as much change as 11.0. However i still should have updated sooner and i will update it mroe often in the future.

Also im going to release a new round of kernels for cm11.0 for the changes Christopher83 has made for more ram! yay! I wont post again dont want to clutter this up but itll be marked round 2 or something and be up within the next 2-4 hours tops i hope.

Edit: round 2 builds up! Also i thought id mention the vhm build is equal to the old xhm there are no more xhm builds. This is a change Chistopher83 made and shouldn't really have any effect considering even the vhm(old xhm) build has everything working anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
I noticed that in CM11 builds, when play services update to newest 5.0.48 it makes the phone not able to deep sleep.

Need help

Hello,

I am currently running CM11 6/8/14 build with the Round 1 Christopher K^Kernel. I like this build/kernel combination.

However, I flew to London and then Germany today and my phone service was close to nonexistent. Most of the time there would be no bars, but occasionally, there would be 4 bars very briefly.

I reverted back to my AOIP (4.2.2) build and my cell and data reception now is flawless. I have seen this before on another build of CM11. I will be here a few more days and would like to figure this out.

The GSM frequencies in Britain and Germany are different than in the US (900 and 1800 vs. 1900 and 850). I have used CM11 in parts of Germany successfully, so perhaps one of (900 and 1800) works while the other one doesn't.

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

Does anyone think that there is a file that I could take from my AOIP ROM and copy it into my CM11 ROM to test it out? Or is that too simple?

Any timely thoughts or advice would be appreciated by me. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
there are a few things that come to mind that you can try quickly and easily.

1st. try changing APN. (in case you dont know where it is) Settings-->Mobile network Settings(3rd icon in settings)--> Access Point Names.

Personally i would reboot after each change just to make sure its in effect.

*note* most countries outside of the usa use ipv6 but ipv4 should work on those networks just fine but ipv6 might work better.

2nd option: download android tweaker 2 by inspire andriod in the playstore (free). in there go to system tweaker-->Network. then try some of the settings in there. if they dont work just turn them back off before you uninstall it.

hope that helps some if any
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Thanks. changing the APN seemed to work. I had tried "network operators" before, but never APN. There were more APN's available for CM11 than for AOIP, for some reason. Selecting the correct one seemed to resolve the issue.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Updated build up now with above fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jajb:
Thank you for the update! And double thank you for updating CWM!!

I've been running your 07/07 build with the latest K^Kernel and everything is running smooth as butter! Even Netflix is running flawlessly! This build also fixed the FC issue I was experiencing whenever I tried to download a file from the stock browser. Couldn't be happier! Thank you for all your hard work!

The only thing I haven't tested out was when a current call would go silent when receiving an incoming call. I'll try to test it out and report back with a logcat if the bug is still there.

Thank you for this! I too was having issues while I was on vacation. I also switched to T-Mobile US LTE IPv6 which ended up fixing my MMS sending and receiving issues. Many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
My wife has reported this happening to her on the 6/8/14 build. Hopefully that is fixed on the latest. Please let us know. I haven't flashed it yet on my wife's phone. That would be a big deal for her.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
glad that helped a few of you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Just wanted to let you guys know there are more kernel options here i thought i had mentioned that so if you are looking at a jfbs build and seeing the more ram but want the other options like overclocking and govs look in their there are other builds with higher ram. I only link the ones that are close to a stock because i dont want to clutter up the already really long post with 8 more links every time i update.

7/7 build

I have 1 comment and 1 question.

comment:

The 7/7/2014 build definitely fixed the deep sleep issue. My battery life on the previous builds had been very poor of late. I dirty flashed the 7/7 build, but that didn't seem to help. I then did a full wipe and flashed the 7/7 build and my battery life is back to the normal good state. Also, the bug where a second incoming call drops the first has been fixed in the 7/7 build. My wife will appreciate this. Thank you!

Question(s):

A) I saw the Car's post about the kernel options. Can these be flashed on an existing ROM without a wipe (other than cache and dalvik wipes)?

B) I don't understand what all the acronyms mean in the file names (EXUV?). Can someone point me to the answer or just fill in the blanks below. There was some discussion about a page ago on this thread, but not enough for me to understand all of it.

OC = overclock

HM = high memory

SM = standard memory??

VHM = Very High memory

EXUV = ?

UV = ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Ok i hope this ansere's your questions.

A) Yes cars kernels will work on any kk rom we have and visa versa if you know how to pull the kernel only out of roms. and yes its just a flash and wipe davlik cache wipe.

B) uv means under voltage from stock and ex is same but extra under voltage. for example stock voltage for 1.4ghz is 1.250v. uv at 1.4ghz is 1.200v and i believe ex is 1.150v or close to it. stay away from ex unless you know your phone can handle it. Ill post a safe way to oc and uv your phone later in a separate op in general category. Now has far as sm, hm, vhm you are right as far as what they say but what they mean is how much actual ram usage you get to use honestly i dont remember the exact numbers other then standard is around 360 and jfbs super high mem 416. when you go into settings and about phone it says how much ram there is. our phones have 512mb ram but after system dedicated it less. hence why it shows 3xx or low 4xx instead of the full 512mb. even windows does similar.

EDIT: OCing and UVing guide posted HERE

7/7 build GPS

Hello,

I tried using Maps and then the app "GPS status" and it appears that GPS is not working on my phone with the 7/7 build and "3.4.97+linaro+k^k+kernel+ion_pmem+cm11+oc+7-7-14.zip". I have never used a ROM in which GPS hasn't worked. I assume it is the ROM and not the kernel. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I was loving the 7/7 build up until that point.

FYI.

Please let me know if others are using GPS with 7/7 successfully. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Yup, thats basicly all the answers. The format has changed a little in older builds:

high 380 MB of free RAM

very high 390 MB of free RAM

extra high 406 MB of free RAM

standard/default/small w.e. 370 MB of free RAM

New Builds:

high 406 MB of free RAM

very high 416 MB of free RAM

extra high gone

standard/default/small w.e. 396 MB of free RAM?

Last one is a guess because i haven't used it but looking at the values that should be right. So as you can see in the newer builds even the basic K^Kernel provides more ram now.

Edited post 4 with some kernel info.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
GPS

Sorry. I left out a key word in my last post. GPS is NOT working for me with the 7/7 build and the 3.4.97 kernel. I will edit the post as well.

Is there any way to get it working short of flashing a ROM that has it functioning properly?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
Actually i just finished testing 7/7 with oc .97 kernel and it works just fine. no problems with gps, calls, msging, gaming, camera. etc. i do get the random fc's but thats just the game side as it does it on any rom i've ever used. even stock. so nothing out of the norm. not sure what you guys are doing to mess up gps but it works fine for me. gj cars and now im back on my slim.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
clean flash the build then report back?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Thanks for the response. It was good to hear that gps was working for others. I didn't do anything unusual. I had done a full wipe and clean flash (I had used the 3.4.97+linaro+k^k+kernel+ion_pmem+cm11+oc+7-7-14.zip kernel). I had also tried wiping the cache and dalvik with no luck.

So, today I flashed 3.4.97+linaro+k^kernel+ion_pmem+cm11+uv+hm+7-7-14.zip after wiping the cache and dalvik. After I booted up, the GPS worked perfectly.

So, I don't know if the initial kernel has issues or if it was just a bad flashing. In either case, it is running now and I'm grateful.

Thanks again.
