[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GCbard:
it is probably just me. But I do not see where to download this kernel. On the website I followed the files trail to a folder called 920fi. Is that the right folder to find the kernel? The model is 920f, I just want to be sure I do not flash something that I should not flash.. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bbender716:
Scroll all the way down to "all files" link near the bottom. :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GCbard:
I did that. I found a folder in all files called 920fi. Is that the one for 920f? The "i" threw me off.

I tried to flash this kernel on my t-mobile edge using twrp and my phone froze on the first boot screen. What version on twrp are you using? And which zip should I flash if I using t-mobile.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Mattymat:
I have a tmobile edge as well with TWRP and this kernel flashed just fine for me. I'm running the latest version of TWRP from AOU. I also cleared my cache after installing the kernel, though that shouldn't have much of an impact on anything. Are you running something other than 5.1.1? Stock or rom?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Gilg@mesh:

So I have a very unique request from [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] I have your kernel installed on my sixperience edge+ port on my 925T which works like a charm but I have noticed that I no longer see my caller ID pictures on my BMW X6 NBT car screen when someone calls me. I had it working on this same ROM with the Unikernel but it stopped working the second I installed 2.4. Is there a code in there that needs to be added to gain that feature back? Thank you for all your contributions! :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Version 3.0 is now live.

Must-have for back-to-n0t3 V3.

It's still compatible for regular S6 ROMs.

3.0

Base changed to G928CXXU1AOGF (Galaxy S6 edge +)

- This introduces all sorts of internal improvements including performance, power consumption and compatibility for ROMs like back-to-n0t3 -

- Installing this will switch your ROM's Graphics drivers to the Note 5 ones! -

NVIDIA's power-efficiency improvement commits merged

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] NickS4:
Not to startle anyone else, but I just flashed it, rebooted, boot screen showed, screen turned black, and now my phone wont boot or anything. Got it on the charger now, maybe battery died or something. Will report back later.

Edit1: Managed to see the charging battery image, when the phones off and charging, for like 1 second, then switched off. I think the battery has just run dry after flashing. Will charge it for like 10 more minutes and then report back.

Edit2: I can boot into download mode, but when the phone boots normal, I think it boots, but isnt showing me anything. Booting into recovery doesnt do anything.

Edit 3: Gonna try installing unikernel through odin. Hope it boots afterwards

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Orginator:
I guess you're right. I don't think that this kernel was ever truly stable, always had its quirks.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Abdl:
I think you guys are being disrespectful by saying that. If you dont like it then you have many other options to try,but dont leave negative comments like this,it would discourage the dev...besides,it still in BETA,can't you see?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I don't even care anymore.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] eruben:
Beta version is not stable. Indeed. What an unexpected suprise!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Orginator:
Don't understand me wrong. I do respect arter97 and his efforts. He has invested allot of time into this project.

You know, I've always been positively surprised how smooth his kernel feels, especially when it comes to the os ui, launcher, browsing, scrolling or boot up time. In those areas I haven't really seen any better alternatives.

But as I've already said once before, imo smoothness is not something you use as a basis for a development.

Arter97 cherry picks so many commits, tries to use the latest and greatest code snippets, which is likely to lead to unexpected stability issues or other bugs.

No matter what version of his kernel I've used, it just never was truly stable. Either had some memory leaks, slow downs, WiFi issues, Bluetooth issues or even filesystem issues. Not just version 14. There always were some quirks that came with it. But everyone might experience it differently, tho searching this thread for issues leads to more than enough results.

While I am a professionally a developer myself, I'm pretty sure that you guys don't care much about my opinion. But would I run such a project, I'd rather concentrate on stability, and then slowly try pushing new stuff and work on performance keeping stability the highest priority at all times. But I guess arter97s highest priority is performance.

Now don't get me wrong, arter97s kernel is nonetheless great. See I've been using arter97 14 kernel for a week or so, and the only noticeable issues I've experienced were with crashing fingerprint scanner. I guess it's for everyone to decide for himself if the quirks that come with arter97s kernel are acceptable or not. So thanks arter97!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] xdamami:
All is fine here.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Stoowyguy:
Been running this kernel on my G920T and loving it to death rn. Best kernel for Gs6 MM most free RAM and smooth with excellent battery life AND performance! Although I'd love to see 1.6 and 2.5ghz oc and 200mhz uc I'm happy i found this kernel!! running latest beta version Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
If you're using this method to measure stability, I would consider kernels out there that implements custom governors or useless feature such as UKSM much less stable.

Stability is on top of my priority. If it wasn't, 14 stable would have been dropped in the alpha days.

Those "quirks" you say, is on my changes which were the efforts to un-terriblize Samsung stock kernel, not on those hundred pages of git merges.

You are suggesting that most cutting-edge software on the planet - Linux, is not stable and it's not the right way to develop a software. And I wholeheartedly disagree with you.

This whole kernel project, is not something I get paid for.

The gratitudes and compliments, or even feedbacks from the users are no where close to compensate the hours of time I pour into this project.

I do it because I love it, not because someone makes me to.

I customize the kernel in a way that I would feel comfortable to use as a daily driver, and I would recommend to my families and friends.

And I'm not OK with "Oh, I just had a random reboot while calling my mom. No big deal, this only happens once every week or so."

Stability is my utmost priority.

And I can still comfortably recommend X release(10.0) to my buddies. (Admittedly, recent 13.x versions do have major memory leak problems. But I would call this kinds of stuffs quite frequent on XDA in general.)

Sure, I could just avoid all of this nonsense debate by following AndreiLux's method: use my kernel myself and just upload the sources and don't distribute the binaries.

If you're going to run here on the forum saying "arter gives a sh1t about stability", I'd suggest you to at least go take a look on how's Linux development is done in general before you call yourself "professional".

I'm sure many readers here has just gone "Oh, he's a professional developer and he says arter kernels are not stable" and I'm offended.

There's no way, absolutely no way to beat Samsung in kernel's stability.

They have 300 devices lying down on the production lane just running stability tests endlessly.

As I said, I make the kernel in a way that I would feel comfortable to use. And that does not mean it is stable in 100% each and every way.

I only recall 1 memory leak, which was discovered less than 2 weeks ago.

Which I never, ever encountered on my device.

Please understand that if that issue was ever reproduced on my end, it would have never passed on the releases I put out.

I recall none.

For those who aren't cleared about this yet - f2fs is implemented for me. I just opened up the doors so that other cutting-edge lovers can chime in.

I honestly don't care if you got a filesystem corruption while using f2fs.

I never recommended regular users to switch to f2fs. The branch I'm using is terrible at recovering at internal durps such as unexpected shutdown.

I'm used to running fsck and backing up to PC periodically.

If you are not ready to deal around filesystem corruptions, stick with ext4, please.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ilovebrickingphones:
yeah, optional oc support would be great

idk why he can't implement it :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Give me some break here.

I'm so tired of what's going on here.

I'll re-open the thread after I finish testing 14.0 branch.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] habis:
Version 20 :fingers-crossed: :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Final to all those 14.0 tests/alphas/betas are up as version 20.0

I was not able to reproduce any of the deadlocks on 20.0 for a week of usage.

Why 20.0?

Because 13.1 -> 14.0 doesn't seem that major.

And I wanted to name it that way, damn it.

I will now slowly retire from the Exynos 7420 development and prepare to switch to the OnePlus 3.

Don't expect any new major feature(big perf/battery improvements).

Minor bug fixes will be taking place for future versions(if there will be any).

http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/20.0

20.0

Major memory leak fixed

Implemented new feature that moves background applications to LITTLE cores automatically to save power

- Default is set to move unimportant apps to 1 LITTLE core(cpu0)

- You can use Synapse to make it more aggressive - move all background apps(including apps like music player) to LITTLE cores(cpu0~3)

Applied upstream f2fs bug fixes

Revamped CPU governor to fix misc issues due to improper merges

ren_max_freq renamed to scaling_max_freq to fix apps like Kernel Aduitor

DVFS auto resetter implemented to workaround ROM's DVFS race-condition resulting in 1200 MHz clock stuck

Removed dynamic fsync for better reliability and memory efficiency

Re-applied previous Mali GPU commits (by AndreiLux)

- Fixes voltage control

- Adjusts throttling threshold

Merged latest memory management behaviors from Nexus 6P Android N and Galaxy S6 stock ROM

Latest Samsung kernel sources merged

Re-introduced sound-control by AndreiLux as a separate release for Galaxy S6

- You may encounter in-call audio issues with this

- Install the regular version if you don't need this

SysV IPC removed

LOAD_FREQ adjustment hack removed

Kernel tick clock changed from 100 Hz to 300 Hz for better performance

Memory management commits from Nexus 6P Android N merged

Few commits and hacks attempted to reduce resume time

Stand-by ARP and multicast packet filters enabled on Wi-Fi drivers (by AndreiLux)

Built with Linaro GCC 6.1

Binder replaced with CodeAurora sources used with Snapdragon 810

ADB updated

Support added for SM-G920T/W8

Support added for SM-G925T/W8

Support added for SM-N920C/I/G/S/K/L/T/W8

Support added for SM-G928F/C/I/G/S/K/L/T/W8

I actually can't live without cm/aosp/pa roms, thought I'd take a chance on a exynos, it's really the iPhone of the android world.
