Can someone link me to this AEL kernel? cant seem to find it.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Ryem:
It's not on XDA. You can find it here, http://www.echoerom.com/ but you have to join the community to get the Kernal
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I've been trying out AEL kernel overnight, and I gotta say its an improvement. The hardware eq control of the audio chip is pretty sweet. Turning off the eq in v4a is recommended, but all other options like clarity and bass, surround etc all play nicely. It's impressive. Aside from the audio the fluidity and battery have been pretty good so I am using this kernel for a while..

Now you will have to visit the echoerom website or pay for their app to figure out how to get the kernel. They have been subject to a lot of thievery in the past hence why there are loopholes to get it. But right now, its the kernel I recommend to match up nicely with this roms ldeals.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
And it just so happens they released a v2.9 overnight of this AEL kernel. Here is the app. Buy it, support them.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev276950.app412222

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mauley:
Yep, AEL Kernel is awesome! Bought the app and downloaded v2.9 and have been messing around with the sound controls and with my headphones trying to get the right sound. I will share my settings once I have locked them in.

Used it from the beginning [emoji14]
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] superleeds27:
Is there any reason you've chosen a Vodafone base for the ROM?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jody2k:
You were right to do that ^^ it was my favorite also on the galaxy S4 in the past.

Try smartmax gouvernor with zen scheduler: I think i'm gonna have past 8 hours SOT with that on my S6
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Great, yeah I think we should start sharing our settings, even sharing our synapse profiles. Name them and share them. The kernel will be included in the next update, probably in about 3 hours

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Ryem:
Woah! That's really impressive. Will try it out and let you know.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sag35:
WOW i tried AEL kernel, used the settings that dude recommended with viper. the sound is unbelievable and i dont even have expensive headphones!!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] superleeds27:
No. But the higher changelog will probably be down to Vodafone optimisations rather than Samsung based changes, I would have thought.

Have you thought about sticking to region based ROMS rather than carrier specific?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
It was the same changelist number across the board for all oj5 roms. It wasnt Vodafone optimizations. But yes I am being more selective with the base. Anyway, the only differences I am finding between bases from different sources is the csc. And that gets replaced

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] superleeds27:
Will wait for the update you mentioned and take a look! :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Update Uploading..

What i am hoping with this new update, is for people to start sharing their synapse profiles so we can hone in on a good base profile to set as default in a future release. I am thinking I/O and Gov settings too as well.

This is an exciting update for music lovers. There will be no other changes to the rom in V8.7, so if you already have AEL V2.9 and synapse, then no need to update from V8.6

OK just a bit reluctant to pay £2.10 just to test a kernel I may not like so is the audio worth it without viper and how good is it just as a kernel. Mainly asking because the app looks like it was made by a child.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
I'm well aware of how to obtain the kernel except I'm asking about the audio quality which requires the app to alter. Please try to answer the question being asked.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Where does it say v8.6? In settings/about? Or while installing in recovery? If it's got the new kernel then it's just a labeling issue

"OK just a bit reluctant to pay £2.10 just to test a kernel I may not like so is the audio worth it without viper and how good is it just as a kernel. Mainly asking because the app looks like it was made by a child."

Well I did not answer the viper part and will not do it either. I did give you a tip on how to obtain the kernel without paying £2.10. Also the reason why I mentioned this was because you referred to the app for the 2nd time ("mainly asking... ) <- see that word "mainly" ? It implies that your main argument was that you didn't want to pay to test a kernel you might not like, which probably wouldn't be that great since the app looks like a child made it. Then you asked "is the audio worth it blabla.." Well that is the part I didn't answer and still will not do. The kernel itself is fine. In the future you should be aware of how you formulate your sentences.

You are welcome.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Or maybe you shouldn't try to make yourself sound clever by half answering questions. [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] has answered my questions including the fact I don't need the £2.10 app for the sound because it's Synapse that does that and it's free.

As to the audio quality I'm going to try Jody's Eargasm settings because I loved Eargasm in Boeffla on my S3.

Quick connect doesn't exist in this ROM. There is an app dump from a recent build you can find the apk you need.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Zoide_:
Interesting. I tried to do the same thing but then my phone freezes after booting and showing the lock screen.

If I only set the smartmax governor and keep the default cfq scheduler, it works. But if I try both smartmax and zen simultaneously it fails. I tried this on two S6's and they behaved exactly the same.

It seems like zen is the problem, as it also freezes with the default interactive governor.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Anyone know what the ro.build.scafe entries in the build prop are about other than someone's joke?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
They must have been introduced with the new kernel. When ROM installs it uses an install script made by the kernel maker, and I do know it adds entries to the build.prop. It could well be a joke.

EDIT. It's a Samsung thing, and its in default build.prop. I have no idea what it does
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] superleeds27:

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
It's been asked enough times, so I will look into that next, I have used the same csc files for a while and need to update them anyway.

I'll do an update of csc files, and will look into this. I've always used LTE so never really concerned me.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do we flash the OJ5 sboot.bin with Odin? Each time I get a ' failed'. Normally bootloader is a .md5 file, so I'm a bit confused.

Btw was able to flash OJ5 modem, so everything works fine in Odin.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
You can flash the file you downloaded straight away, but instead you unzipped it.

You don't have to unzip it. Just flash the .tar file right after download through Odin. ;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] daffie:
Aha...that's where I went wrong :) Cheers! So flash the file using the BL or the PDA option?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
In the newer ODin versions it's "AP" which is the same as "PDA" in the old version.

So flash it through PDA. :)

If the offending line gets removed then your phone will use whatever is set for your CSC. You can easily set it to anything you want using the CSC tweak.

Nobody said anything about changing it to 4G. As we said we just want the CSC modification that overrides the CSC and sets it to LTE to be removed so that it says whatever the chosen CSC has it set as. In some countries that will be 4G and in others it will be LTE.

Since 8.7 Dolby and Viper is doing nothing for me, don't even know whether synapse setting changes do anything. Just did a full wipe, and all is the same for me. 8.7+ AEL+Alliance framework with xposed here. Might try clean 8.7 out of the box tomorrow, if I find the time.

Edit: new Viper is named pon-3?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I thought alliance is broken at the moment. I can't support the audio mods if you have two system mods trying to work together.

Did you read the op about what is included with this ROM? It's all in there, anyway, pon-3 is a system wide audio driver mod. And the pon-3 v4a app is a modified v4a app to control the pon-3 mods.

Also... In synapse..Just make sure you are selecting all the appropriate tick boxes and selecting the activate tick after adjusting.
