[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
ok folks here is a *fully unified* test for you

At the moment however, no dual sim support :( (this will take a LOT of work, if its even possible, not sure yet)

S6_UniKernel_v002a (test) >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613402

Features:

- Supports all single-sim S6 and S6 Edge variants

- Fully Unified kernel

- Rebuilt *from scratch* (this one has minimal patching, im finding it performs better and has better battery with as few changes as possible to the source. This may change, feedback please

- Noop scheduler (i think it has the best battery / performance balance)

- Preemption and CPU Frequency scaling latencies reduced

Fully unified is ready-to-go on my primary source tree so if this doesnt work out I will switch back to that. However, i do think the new minimalist change is good :)

enjoy, and feedback please

(call audio tested workong on F and T 920's so should also be fine for 925's
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Good so far.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] -Mr. X-:
Sprint support has been terminated for this kernel, unfortunately it it impossible to unify the G920P kernel given the severe radio differences. I am not sure what version you flashed but if it was any test versions this is why.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] leatherneck6017:
I see. Perhaps the /P should be removed from the title then...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] -Mr. X-:
As far as i know the one in the title still supports sprint or was attempting to, i know lack of P feed back has been an issue in our testing.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] leatherneck6017:
I wasn't using a test version, just the one linked in the OP. I'm content using ktoonez, but just thought I'd try something different.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] interestingkid:
Working well on g920s, keep up the great work!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lizaSB:
Working great on my w8. Feels about the same in terms of smoothness compared to v001d -- which is to say very :)

Haven't had much of a chance to test battery though -- seems like it's doing well so far. v001d was turning up to be quite nice, so I can't imagine it getting much better!

Hello folkses

V6 is progressing well. Things done so far...

Completed unification of every detectable device tree difference between variants

Regional (FISTWKL and Edge) magnetic sensor calibrations

Device specific (FISKL/T/W) Wolfson audio codec differences

Device specific (edge/flat) SSP sensorhub differences

Battery is already completed in v5 0003 onwards

Some minor changes to call audio unification

Also reworked and removed a lot of unnecessary changes applied in previous builds

Will have a beta up maybe tomorrow:good:

It is ultra extra smooth and full of lubricated goodness. Stock clocks
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jaysmi32:
Sweet!!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] iB4STiD:
great!! looking forward to it man :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RFrancis:
So what was the sensorhub about ? And stock clocks, can we go down to 200 mhz on the CPUs?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] f1ux:
I don't have that option, presumeably because I don't have a 4G/Lte sim
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] walda:

Did some advertisement for UniKernel in the DriveDroid Thread, hope this is ok for you.

UniKernel is included now in the link list of supporting custom Kernels in the OP.

Looking forward to v6!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sswagonman:
200 has been something I have been on at g.lewarne for ages now but it has been proven to induce microlags and not to significantly save battery which is y I will b surprised if he includes it. But trust me i will be trying to get it included. Testing is still going on V6 and will be released when he is happy

Living on the edge
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lucasvasconcelos_7:
G.lewarne, have enjoyed much of his work on the Unikernel .. You could add me on Unikernel the group Hangouts? I wanted to be a tester and participate in discussions about it.

Is black screen fixed in v6?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] PunkOz:
Are we gonna have audio controls in V6? Or what do you mean about wolfson changes, there are no kernels supporting audio controls, I have plenty of audio controls on my tab S 10.5 exynos, Im wondering why nobody has included them in S6 kernels yet, maybe closed source? Encrypted? Would be amazing to have an option to increase the headset audio voltage for better quality!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sswagonman:
The black screen issue seems to be a limited issue unfortunately. I test alot of these before release and have not experienced that at all. Today alone as an example was about 15 kernel versions while we try and find optimal. If we don't have the issue we really rely on those of you who do to help us out

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Kernel still works on the new firmware
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] llapao:
Did you had to flash unibase to get latest 5.1.1 upgrade or have you flashed the update via odin? Thx
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
I odined back to COF6 stock and took the update. Then installed, TWRP and Unikernel Test V5-0004. Just make sure you check unlock bootloader in dev options, don't sign into your samsung account, then take the plunge.

OK, do you think its worth it? And why not flashing directly to G920FXXU2BOG8 via Odin?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] steve97ta:
Just wanted to be on the latest update. I run Xtrestolite rom so wasn't on the stock version for long. I only had the OF6 odin tar this morning and the download for the OF8 was downloading. So just went that route.

I'm on a 925T not F ours just dropped yesterday.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] winco209:
U think theres any difference between the leaked of8 and the official of8
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] clinthess:
There's a couple differences I've noticed. First is the chat messaging and the other is video calling. My battery seems better so far but I haven't gotten a full day yet
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mrbmg:
I was running v1 rapture and just ran smart switch from pc to update but lost root. Odin flashed twrp, then unibase kernel. Been smooth sailing ever since. I haven't ever played with smart switch. As soon as I connected and hit the button to update while I was running rapture I was like oh hell, what did I do? Turned out good though.

Also the good thing is I never lost any data, and didn't have to restore. Sucked re-debloating T-mobile's stock crap though.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Harregukalerik:
Try new version Rapture v2.......
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Taebom:
rapture v2 is a beast! Especially with this amazing kernel! :highfive:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mrbmg:
I d/l it as soon as it hit but didn't feel like it last night. Might here shortly though. With the last unibase all is well on stock but the little time I did run the stock fw and kernel it was smooth as well.

Does Netflix work for you?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SupremeBeaver:
Hi g.lewarne,

Vindicator kernel recently added support for CIFS and FUSE. Is this something you might consider?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jongcruz:
With version 2.0 Netflix still don't work.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ViciousDiarrhea:
Okay so it isn't just me.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jongcruz:
Actually all others roms that I already tried don't work ether. Something probably changed in Netflix.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ViciousDiarrhea:
Yup, that's the word around xda at the moment.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TheMathMan:
UK here, and Netflix works fine with XtreStoLite and UniKernel 4

On another note, I noticed when the kernel flashes it checks for ktweaker... Is it recommended to have that installed?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Darktitor:
No it's not [emoji14]

If you have KTweaker, installing this Kernel will remove it ;)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] KINGDROID25:
We don't usually compare roms, each dev works very tirelessly and free of charge. .roms are personal preference, try them both and give constructive criticism this will help you decide which rom is right for YOU.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arshcaria:
I have to say thank you!

Using a G920FD, I flashed it to the latest France 5.1.1 and then used your kernel to root it.

It works nicely and doesn't affect 3G/2G/call on both SIMs. No problems are found yet.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ViciousDiarrhea:
Are you using ktweaker?

Also, can you check what your SE for Android status is? It's in Settings > About Phone > SE For Android Status

I sent out a prerelease of v6 to a large group of people last night for battery evaluation today. initial reports seem good, very "stock like" as one person put it

But yes it should be save...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] hans_olo:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Murthick:
If you don't charge your phone to above 90% then the battery stats (screen on time) will stack. If you never recharge your phone to above 90% then you can achieve an infinite screen on time. Therefore those screenshots don't show anything about how good your battery life is.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] winco209:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] daewond3r:
Forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious … Wouldn't flashing this kernel potentially undo the optimizations of the COF8 update? I only ask because my phone is running great since the update, albeit without root. I'd like to get root back, but not at the sacrifice of the performance I've had since the update. I'm not an Android dev so I'm not sure if the optimizations in the update were kernel based or not. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] _Johnito_:
About that, i have no LTE with Unikernel (v5.004 test) and ARCADIA 3.0 (fresh install). When i check the network mode it shows "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" but i do not have LTE connectivity anymore. WCDMA and GSM are fine. Before i flashed this ROM, my network mode used to say "4G/3G/2G" btw.

I have a G920F, and flashed the bootlader and baseband provided with this ROM. I was using official 5.1.1 stock samsung firmware until then. Any idea ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] self_slaughter:
Same combo on my 920i. Best the phones ever ran and no more random vibrations and apps crashing in the background like on xtrestolite 2.1
