Amazing kernel, feels really smooth and snappy on V2 ultimate..Not sure if its a placebo,but 4.1.2 touchwiz never felt like this before.

Using alongside stock indian LSC rom.

Just one question, swap support,i know people hate it because of its battery consumption and stuff but i've got a nice 30mb/sec r/w sd card and would love to use swap ram to bid goodbye to app redraws,is there any scope for future version to inclue swap support? Or any guide that lets a decently noob proof old user to enable it and recompile kernel himself?

Thanks a ton again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mjrifath:
Is there any posibility to use Stock gallery with v2 ultimate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
No to all three above :D. How convenient:D. Sorry guys these are either nogood or noway :p. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] neonboy:
Thank you anyway for not letting down this little vintage beast.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
Thanks for the latest release! :victory: By the way, I'm a bit confused, what's the difference between V2.0.8 and Ultimate? Did you just renamed it? :confused: I'm still currently using the V2.0.8, I've been too busy with work these past few days, I haven't yet tried this Ultimate, gonna try it tomorrow. ;)

Out of the topic question: Do you still plan to continue your CM11 Forest Kernel? I'm planning to try KK version on my sister's n7000 with your kernel next week. Thanks! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
208 is a test version. Anyway, the same with the released and renamed version.

No plan to work on kk. With r3p1 tw is now the best.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] imlop:
But I think you should help for kk and LP too, don't stop this awesome kernel at jb,

help other ROM Maker's to get our n7000 to latest level with a performance kernel,

thank you 99999999999999¡Á99999999999999 times for your hard wokes :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Hehe. I will continue after counting your thanks:D:D. Anyway, may try LP when rom is more stable. Tks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
Okay, I've installed the Ultimate Version, a worthy name than 208 alright. Haha! Thank you x99999999 :D

Oh by the way, I did some experimentation last night, I've installed 3 different TW Roms, Aryamod V8, JB V6 Ultimate, and TouchWizLite 2.0, all of them are equipped with your Ultimate Kernel 2.0.0. I also installed "Cool Tool" app, so I can monitor and display CPU frequency in "realtime" in overlay mode, and 3c CPU manager, to double check the used CPU frequency state afterwards. All of them have the same result. While playing some games, Shadow Fight 2, Battleheart Legacy and Asphalt 8, (and in Epic Citadel), I noticed that the CPU frequency is always on 800mhz, it "rarely goes up" to 1000,1200,1400 and 1600mhz. When the graphics are stressful (gaming, loading screen), it will throttle up to 1600mhz for a "few' seconds, and goes back to 500 or 800mhz.

I tried comparing it to other kernels, like Bauner's Extreme for TW (I use it on the 3 Roms as well), and its CPU frequency are always fluctuating and switches from 800 to 1600mhz, it always uses a high frequency to remove lags (especially in gaming). A different behavior from your kernel.

My question is, did you do it on purpose? The 800 mhz lock frequency (maybe for thermal control?)? I have no knowledge about CPU frequency and throttling, that's why I'm asking. :) When your kernel throttles to 1600mhz for a few seconds, the FR on games will increase A LOT, lags are removed momentarily, and when it goes back to 800mhz, it'll be back on the usual "playable FR". So I'm wondering if you really designed it like that and you have reasons to do so. If not, I think it's worthwhile to look into. :D

Hey, no offense nor complaints intended, I'm not whining, I'm just stating. :fingers-crossed: My n7000 will die without your kernel. Haha! :laugh: More power to your development.

PS: I used 200-1600mhz, pegasusq-row
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
I did not know Bauner made tw kernels i must have missed it. Will be good to have a link.

Saw that he increase voltage a lot 150-200mv in his cm/aosp... kernels. In my kernel i increase 25-50 mv. That could be the reason.

Anyway, u did a good job in testing and provide a good idea. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
Here's the thread with Bauner's TW Kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note/development/kernel-bauner-x-treme-linaro-4-9-2-t2935022

I have no idea about mv and other technical stuff though. Haha. The only concern I have with your kernel is that 800 mhz lock, and the rest is perfect (especially the silky smooth snappy response). :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BarelyPosting:
So I was not the only one who's experiencing that issue. Been using Forest's kernel since the start, and Cool tool app for a loooong time, and ever since, I'm witnessing what you said. As also a player of Shadow Fight 2, I can notice too, that 800 mhz stuck up. Allow me to elaborate, it will not happen immediately, the frequency will play around 1600,1200,800, and the FR is really high, but after several minutes of playing, it will be stuck at 800mhz and will seldom increase, like what you said, "rarely". Then it will produce micro stuttering to the game - lags. I thought it was by design, to avoid increase in temperature too. One reason why brought up an inquiry before about increase thermal cap. I'm using Aryamod v8 by the way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Hank87:
1600 mhz is useless because it's produce too heat and after few seconds go to 800mhz.

If you want better performance in apps that stress cpu is better underclock than overclock.

Bauner's kernel have highter thermal throttle, 75-71 instead of 65-49 so the thermal throttle activates less frequently.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
I see. But 1600 mhz is not useless, it can be useful on some situations. We have different uses of phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BarelyPosting:
1600mhz will never be implemented if it is useless, so I beg to differ. Yes, it does produces a lot of heat as it's downside, but it can give your n7000 a boost when running a CPU demanding applications. And if you're into HD gaming (like me), higher CPU frequency can give you a higher FR, thus smoother gameplay. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Hank87:
Yes, higher FR for 10 seconds, then reaches 65 degrees, going to 800mhz and remains there for the rest of the time!

To go 1600mh must drop to 49 degrees but under stress at 800mhz the cpu will never fall so much in temperature.

If you do not believe install cooltool and view real-time cpu frequency and temperature.... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BarelyPosting:
Dude, I already posted that, it is mentioned on my reply before (that's the issue). Besides, that certain heat is still tolerable on our devices. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
So that's the reason why I can't use the kernel's full potential, that thermal throttling is too wide (65-49). >.<
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] akantoch:
Is there any chance that You will make a new version with FPbug fix presented lately on our forum? Im using only Your kernel becouse its still the best for me:) and it would be great if it has all new stuff making our old note live longer:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
JB 4.1.2 is very stable. So I am not sure it the fix is needed. I will investigate more and consult with Lanchon and others if it is needed.

In the mean time, I have now increased the thermal throttle since it has been proved to be safe in Bauner's kernel. Performance seems to surge a lot. Will release a truly performance-oriented version soon!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] akantoch:
Can You please implement this thermal throttlle in 1.9.1 version of Your kernel. Im using it becouse it has no stock gallery bug and also i dont play games;) ? Thank You for Your great work!!!:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Okie.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
This is what I've been waiting for! I can finally escape the 800mhz lockage! Haha! I assume it will surpass any benchmark I made in Epic Citadel before, I hope it can handle any games this time. Hoho. Oh by the way, any chance of GPU OC, or you'll just leave it just what it is? I'm too excited. Haha!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] akantoch:
Its strange but i tested 1.9.1 kernel with cool tool and during the antutu benchmark test almost all the time it kept 1600mhz. Sometimes it dropped to even 200mhz but never had it limited to 800mhz. It was jumping from 200 through 800 - 1000 -1200 to 1600mhz during the last 40%of the test. My governor is pegasus and I/O row. How can i check the proc temperature? With cool tool i can only check batt temp. But in my everyday use it behaves just great. The only problem that i have is that after a few days i can see lots of zombie processes in Os monitor, but this is sth that i had in all roms and no one could help me with that. So i only restart my phone after a few days and it is ok.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Hank87:
Set custom label, fine tuning, and this:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] akantoch:
Dont know what do You meaning?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Hank87:
To see cpu temperature, you have to enable custom label 1, click on "fine tuning" and set custom label 1 like in the screenshot.

Hi,

first of all thank you very much Forest for your work making our note allmost inmortal :) . Does anyone know if it is possible to change Samsung´s camera default gallery? I mean, when you take a photo and you want to review it you get the "r3p1 blobs" bug problem, and I worder if there's a way to change the default gallery inside the program, so I don´t have to go out of the camera software to review the photo.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Here is the performance oriented version: Forest-HelloWorld-V2.0.0-extreme. :victory:

Change logs:

- Increase thermal throttle threshold by 10 degree C.

- increase OLED refresh rate to 62. (I tested with 64 as well but prefer 62)

This version will handle games much better, but will behave similarly to V2.0.0-ultimate[/URL] at other tasks.

---

BTW, For those who really need to use stock Gallery this is the Forest-HelloWorld-V1.9.1-extreme. :victory:

Change logs:

- Increase thermal throttle threshold by 10 degree C.

- increase OLED refresh rate to 62.

Among the two V2.0.0 feel more fluid with its newer GPU driver!

This is why I love you forest. Haha! Seems perfect for me now. I wonder if there's still a room for improvement for this kernel, I think this is already perfection. Haha! You're keeping our n7000 alive and making it competent enough to play modern HD games (which is very very very very impossible for a stock kernel). ;) :good:

Which TW Rom are you using, Forest? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Aryamod v8. ltc base custom roms are good and they seem faster than other base.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BarelyPosting:
Okay, posting my first update after using the Extreme version. First things first, thank you forest! As always, making the awesome kernel, more awesome. :D After using it for a whole day playing games, I can say that there is big improvement, in Shadow Fight 2, the graphics are very stable, from the start to the very end, it does not lag anymore (but it's not that high either, rather it is playable). It also gives me the same FPS at Epic Citadel, which is 43 FPS.

Anyway, I got curious about Bauner's TW Kernel, and decided to give it a try. I'm getting 50 FPS!!! at Epic Citadel using his kernel, but it still somewhat lagging when playing Shadow Fight 2. I don't know what's going on. LOL! Still gonna stick with Forest's. :victory:

Dear forest,

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/

upon the news i postd up above, any chance you would work your magic for our dear n7000 units ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Oh, surprise and good news!

On tw kernel side our Note currently already enjoyed r3p1 gpu driver from 4.2.2, thanks to the magic work by [MENTION=5145944]GeeckoDev[/MENTION]. So practically not much benefits from the update. Anyway, on the custom rom side, it can bring lots of fun with new custom roms based on 4.2.2.

Let see how it unfolds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sharkteef:
as one of your loyal members of the overclocking division, please continue to work your magic on it. one shall never end innovation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ThaiDai:
How do you unfold the void?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Avitohol:
Hi fores1971,

THANKS for your awesome work.

I'm with AryaMod-V8 and I tried V1.9.1-extreme. it seams better than 1.9.0 with more free memory and it is more responsive. On 1.6 OC it produces more heat and starts laging. On 1.4 the heat is less and no lag but possibility for OC to 1.6 is good. About battery life - it was 3% down during the night with 1.9.0 and now it's 10% down during the night with 1.9.1_extreme.

... and a bug - when the pen is close to the screen and the point appears, on screen corner (especially down left and right) the point vibrates (it's not stable) and it takes action "on tap" without touching the screen !?! Also you can not use the whole screen (see the picture).

I hope this information will help you to find out the issue and make this kernel better.

THANKS again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sulkie:
I can confirm the s-pen bug. Its present in every kernel with panel overclock. Geecko cooked up one kernel upon my request with new gpu drivers but with no panel overclock, and that one doesnt have the s-pen bug.

Maybe if we ask very nicely, for future kernel releases Forest, Geecko and others could make a version without panel overclock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Okie. Will do that one for u when I can. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Avitohol:
Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'll be waiting for it. :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
This is a version without OC of OLED panel for S-pen users. Instruction ser post quoted above.

Corrected version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zcfcnbte8cpp69/Forest-HelloWorld-V200-extreme-spen-correct.zip?dl=0

This should have no prob with spen now!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sulkie:
Hey forest, thanks for the effort but this kernel has panel overclocked. Spen bug is there and the panel goes wacky in offline charging just like the rest of kernels with panel overclock.

Happy holidays!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Hm, let me double.check what is going wrong.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Found that I have uploaded the correct file. Kernel has a name with -spen ending. I do not find prob with spen using this version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sergyum:
This is interesting because with - spen ending kernel I have spen bug :

Edit : checked again, started from v1.9.0 AM, flashed v200-extreme - spen kernel then blobs from raw_r3_tw and I have the same with bug result :((
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
You are right. I was indeed my mistake when editing file before compiling and did not check off-charging status. The correct version is now upload replacing the wrong one. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cheaterdawaq:
Time for review! Been busy for a couple of days due to holidays. Anyway, I tried both the Extreme Version for several days (I waited for the kernel to blend first on the ROM), and there's been a difference alright. I'll start with the user-interface, for me, v200 is more fluid and a bit smoother and faster (I think). It also gives a higher FPS, but it kinda stutters a bit sometimes on some 3D games. As for v191, it's perfect as always, responsive and silky smooth on user-interface (but v200 is better IMO). It also gives a lesser FPS, but, it is very steady, does not have any stutter nor micro lags on game (maybe due to GPU OC?).

As for the battery, I cannot really see the difference, I'm getting the same screen time (both of them are battery friendly), maybe because 191 has GPU OC while the 200 has updated mali drivers (just a guess, lol). I'm not sure if others can notice this but, 62 hz screen rate is really something (aside from s-pen bug, I'm not using it anyway :p ), I can somewhat feel the difference when compared to 57/59hz. If you're into gaming and other graphics app, you'll really enjoy it. :D Both kernels has their own perfection. I'm currently using v191 since I'm more into gaming, less lag. Keep up the good work Forest! More power to your development. :good:

PS: I'm wondering if there's any drawback (aside from battery consumption) if v200 will have an OC GPU (400) version (r3p1 is really great). I'm willing to try and test it. I have 7000 mAh battery. lol :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Avitohol:
Thanks man. :good:

I'll try it and will share my opinion for it.

Edit:

OK. Now it seems better on spen point of view. The same as 1.9.0

Thanks. :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] akantoch:
Is there any chance that You kindly make a version of Your 1.9.0 kernel with FPbugfix, better thermal throttle and trim support. It is only a kind request, i'm very happy with 1.9.0 kernel but i think that with this features it would be almost perfect kernel. [MENTION=3394857]geecko[/MENTION] made this changes into his great kernel but it has still problem with stock gallery which i use often with camera app. Im very thankfull for Your great work with our note. You keeping it alive for so long time:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Avitohol:
Hi,

As I promised I share my experience about 2.0.0.

It seems the best kernel - stable and fast - only stock player and gallery don't work.

If they could be fixed it would be great.

I don't want to go back on 1.9.0 but I'm using gallery very often.

Keep your great work. :good:

Tnx a lot for this kernel;) I think that there is one more thing to make our Notes more battery friendly but i dont know if it depends on kernel. In my previous phone Mitorola Milestone in CM roms there was a possibility to lover the minimum screen brightness to even 2. Stock value was 20. I know that there are some app that can do similiar thing but i thing that it's not the same. Can someone tell if this possible to lover that minimum brightnes on kernel level?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
I have not investigate this at kernel level. Find not necessary since darker app (Gplay) or other similar ones can do excellent job.
