First they need to add NTFS Read/write support ("fuse" needs to be pressent in source) to the kernel and compile it.

second you need to have permissive state in ramdisk of the kernel.

Third you need to follow the little guide that I posted in the rom thread on how to setup Paragon.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] gabripranzo:
Thanks. I hoped permissive state was enough. In Android 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 I had just to install Paragon and it worked seamlessly; is this a limitation introduced in KitKat?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
No it is not a limitation, kernel dev just needs to set the right things in defconfig of the kernel. Or open "menuconfig" and select NTFS write/read before the make -j command to build the kernel. "fuse" (not "tun", that is a different thing) has to be a part of the kernel source but that shouldn't be any problem.

I also drop the ntfs-3g binary in bin of the system. Some apps need this.

And the media write / read problem needs to be addressed in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (this problem started on KitKat = read/write problem to externalSD)

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
[COLOR=DarkGreen]<group gid="media_rw" />[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]= needs to be added[/COLOR]
</permission>

I hope this answers your question, this is what I had to do to make it work on our Note8.0 , there can be changes on Note2 but as my first SpherKat kernel (up to 3.8) releases where based on the Note2 kitkat source I don't see why it shouldn't work on that device running KitKat.

These are the kernel and rom changes I had to make , maybe the note2 dev need to take a look also at the "vold.fstab" in system/etc , maybe there is a wrong setting regarding to partition layout on the KitKat roms.

And that is as far as my knowledge goes regarding this feature.

I have to admit sometimes I wish to start modding by myself, just to make the things working like I think they should. But my work is completely different and I'm afraid I should study a lot.

Well, thanks anyway.

Can you recommend some kernel settings for me? The only thing I changed is the I/O scheduler to 512. Last night after only using the tablet for about 10 minutes surfing the web it gave me an overheating warning. First time I've ever seen that so maybe the max clock needs to be lowered a bit?

I'm going to flash the new 4.1 right now and play with it a bit. Thanks.

Why boeffla sound engine when we already have a more superior app "Viper4android" ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] gabripranzo:
Viper is not superior, it's a kind of equalisation. Boeffla converts the sound directly from digital to analogue with some optimization related to the Wolfson audio chip.

Inviato dal mio GT-N7100 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Megamind08:
I used both of them and I found that viper has much better sound quality as compared to boeffla. Also when I have viper installed and I turn on boeffla, there is no sound at all. So I uninstalled boeffla and the problem is gone. Don't understand in what way it is better.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] gabripranzo:
Maybe you like Viper more, but Boeffla has a different purpose which is Hi-Fi (better fidelity to the original sound). Anyway, use whatever you think sounds better ;) it's just for fun.

Civato installed it as a request. It works for the guys installing tablets into cars.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
Boeffla is for the audiofiel, it starts from the kernel.

Viper starts from a driver in the rom.

I use both of them as viper is great when connecting to bluetooth system in the car and tweaking the sound of it.

Hi civato:

Thank you for the kernel :). I experience a problem while play music in device sleeping mode(screen off). The sound is pretty lag. I'm under your kernel v 4.2 and stock DNE2 rom(N5100). It was working fine with kernel Rev 3.8. I'm not sure whether it relates to the new sound driver added in recently. And is there any way to make it smoother with latest kernel.

Thanks.

These are limitations by the rom framework.

I am also getting music lag/skipping only when screen is off. Did not have that issue before flashing the kernel. I am using the latest 4.3 kernel. Did you find a fix for it?

I would personally love to know what the stock samsung kernel settings are because thats what i would use, i am not a fan for kernels that come with tweaked frequencies + voltages + schedulers. They should come stock settings and let people tweak them if they want, it would avoid issues like the one we are having and it would ensure 100% stability. Im not hating just my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sefrcoko:
With respect, that's what stock kernels are for :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] yeeahnick:
We all know that this kernel goes beyond just being able to change frequencies, governor, voltages. Every chip is different therefor sometimes when those settings are "tweaked" they can work good for some and cause problems to others. The s-pen fix alone is worth changing to this kernel along with the wakelock fixes etc... Perhaps having a stock profile in synapse for cpu/gpu settings would be a good idea for people like me?

Hey, Civato. Excellent work with your kernel. I have been loving your rom and have been waiting for your kernel to mature so I recently flashed it on my 1.3 civato rom. I love the speed, no more skips or anything with video streaming. My concern that I wanted to bring up was with charge vs drain. When plugged in the battery drains faster than it charges while in use. I like to leave the tablet plugged in while I watch netflix or hulu on it and with this kernel 4.3b I can't. Anything you recommend I try? It appears to charge ok when the tablet is asleep.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] slushbilly:
Are you using the oem cable or a usb extension? I have had these cause the same issue.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Renegade8100:
So you're telling me that USB 2.0> is a no go with this kernel to source power while in use; I was hoping that wasn't the answer.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
Do not turn off the LCD screen with powerbutton.

Using flipcover or timeout will give no problems in my case.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] yeeahnick:
Unfortunately it is not the case for me. Tried both options flipcover or timeout and as soon as screen turns off the music starts skipping. I think i just need to use Samsungs default cpu governor + voltages + frequencies but i do not know what those are, maybe you can help me with that since you tweaked those settings for your kernel?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sefrcoko:
I think he was just asking if you're using a usb extension/non-samsung cable, because that can affect the power pulled to the device (and therefore not charge as fast as it should).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Renegade8100:
I don't understand the logic behind that; I say that as a man who has made his own OTG cables. The only logical thing that I could come up with is that the draw due to the over-volting is too high for a 3.5 watt samsung brand charger (5v + .7a). We can call this one solved, downgrade the firmware to stock or buy a higher wattage usb charger. USB ports speced for 2.0 wont provide enough juice to charge the new firmware in action, my 3.0 port on my pc appears to keep the tablet on but wont charge the tablet while watching netflix or something.

Hey civato!!.. Reverting back to stock kernel disables wifi connection... How come?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sefrcoko:

It was just a suggestion that has worked in similar situations. I don't have the science :). Again, for troubleshooting: are you using an extension or oem charging cable? Getting suspicious ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
give me some time, don't push it, it has got something to do with governor, try the ondemand governor and reboot first.

I didnt mean to push it sorry. Thanks alot for trying to narrow things down. For your information I had no issues this morning with your kernel's default settings when playing music with screen off BUT i then decided to reboot for fun and after the reboot the music lag started again. Will keep testing in this morning and report back.

Edit: It tried putting ondemand governor and reboot and its worse now, the music also skips a bit while screen is ON... Even the navigation doesnt feel smooth at all, really weird because i had used ondemand before and it was not acting like this.

ah ok u saw it fine fine *g*. ehm boeffla app would be nice to use yes as it has some automatism included for this but it wouldn't work because it works only on a boeffla kernel ;) i dunno synapse but if u are able to edit a script for it u just have to flip the access to the sysfs from

to /sys/class/misc/gpu_control/gpu_voltage_control

and from
