User experience and Opinion

I am running the SM-N920 C on the upgraded OK6 release which i got last week.

I have tried Arter97 versions 7.0, 9.0, 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0 beta2.

When i tried version 7.0 and 9.0 the experience was smooth and punchy(like a brand new device coming from stock kernel). It felt snappy and responsive. Battery life was great compared to stock.

I could easily get 2 full days under normal use. (I don't play games) so with games your mileage may vary. After about 3 - 5 days without reboot, I experienced some lag and stutter in waking the device after finger-print security, or in some cases when launching certain apps. The stutter at lock screen is not major but it is noticeable compared to when the device is in full operation mode.

The lag on certain apps, when many are loaded in memory was more noticeable.

Under version 9.3 - The experience was almost the same.. the device felt more stable and consistent. and battery life was noticeably better... At the end of my work day while running 9.3 i would be at about 60% left, However it did not feel as snappy as 9.0. ( possibly because of a change in CPU governor.

Version 10.0 beta2 - This version is the most well-rounded and balanced one so far. It is fast and responsive and snappy. and battery life is about the same as what i got with version 9.3. The differences is most noticeable when pulling up the multi task windows and when the device is waking up from lock screen. And importantly there is no performance degradation after running for couple days.

I am not running Synapse and i am getting full 2.1 under the GHz under A57 cores.

I am very pleased with 1.0beta 2 I use my device allot for business so i run many apps through the day and I have yet to have any hiccups.

By far the best version so far. Kudos and job well done to Arter97.

--- Note on experience after Upgrade

After my notification upgrade of OK6 ( for a moment i thought it was an notification for 6.0 {wishful thinking})

After installation was complete the device was stuck in a boot loop.

I needed to Flash Philz Recovery, the Kernel and the SuperSu again.

So be mindful that this may occur.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
My proudest kernel version just went live.

So proud that I named it "X".

X (10.0)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals

Few possible binder errors fixed

Minor compiler optimizations done to binder

New linker used with compilation (hg-binutils 2.25.51.0.4)

10.0 beta 2 is a something lol

Almost 2 hours SOT still 84% remaining .NFC was on most of time
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Jexojahanzeb:
i might be the first one to try it

Alright, can you tell me is it better than 9.3?

In case you missed my previous post .. the 10.0 beta2 -- > 10.0 X is better than 9.3

Cheers

How did you get that? What apps are disabled, what romantic do you use, phone version, sinapse settings...

Share with us please!
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Jexojahanzeb:
one more pls.

thank you for the reply brother, i am going to flash this kernel on the stock rom, i should go through that same old procedure of copying the kernel to my phone and flashing it through philz recovery?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

im giving this version a try, there are two versions 10.0 and X in the download folder. which one should i go for? is there any difference in both?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] cerberus0f:
Yes you are correct on the procedure.

Copy to phone..

Boot into Philz recovery

Flash kernel

Reboot
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] tazzysingh1731:
Lol I disabled nothing I'm on tekhd rom not even debolated but yeah few synapse tweaks nothing special. Let's see what SOT I end up with ;) hoping for 11 hrs or more
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
I've recently made a change to arter97.com server to block any attempts of direct linking.

And I've confirmed it's working without any issues if users are using Chrome or Firefox on both PC and Android.

If you're having issues downloading files, try with a different browser.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] rflmnz:
Show us the settings... I undervolted all settings to -75mV, max BIG core to 1600mhz and LITTLE to 1200, and I'm getting 6h00 SOT.

Thus installed pixel filter and disabled 50% of pixels...

Hard to believe you got 1%/hour

Still going....
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Zanr Zij:
Flash TWRP, login to system and delete all files in clockworkmodrecovery folder then flash back to Philz

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

What did you do in that sot ?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] M31:
Cảm ơn anh. I flashed stock recovery and then reflashed Arter97 and it's worked. No more passcode :)

It was actually misreading. I tried flashing 10 alpha to check what's wrong then realised that the process was different than version X.

Went back to the site and I realised I kept trying to flash recovery file ? I was a little bit sleepy.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] rflmnz:
Many thanks! You're the man!
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] return99:
i will try this settings on arter97X..

Edit: tried 1 day. advantage 5+1min. like if 5min %1 drop with settings 6min%1 drop. if you not playing any games only face twitter tapatalk you can try the settings. 60min %10drop pretty good for right now I guess.

and if you gonna play same game just disable it:).

thanks again.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] MisterWolfe:
So I flashed the wrong kernel version and my phone won't boot into recovery now. Other than restoring back to stock via Odin, how can I put the proper kernel on it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] cerberus0f:
Go into download mode and flash the recovery again.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] MisterWolfe:
I tried that. Just reboots to a black screen. Using the key combination to go into recovery doesn't work, either.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] cerberus0f:
Try turning off the device ( power button + vol down) then attempt to get into download mode. Ensure u are flashing the right Philz recovery with odin

I too did have a boot loop and this worked for me.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] MisterWolfe:
Still no luck. I've flashed the correct recovery (n920tw8) for the new X version 6 times.

I'm thinking I may have to restore back to factory firmware.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] cerberus0f:
OK this might be the solution.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] MisterWolfe:
Restored the factory firmware for the device from sammobile. rebooted into a Boot loop. Reinstalled firmware for my telus n920w8 again, and still boot looping.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] ebusuhejbi:
Try space x kernel i have the same problem with my w8 Canadian version. ..go to this kernel and flash with Odin. ..

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

And flash twrp and you are able to flash everything you need
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] MisterWolfe:
I've got it working. here's what I did.

I installed Philz touch for the n920w8. I was able to boot into recovery by not selecting reboot in Odin and doing a manual powerdown (power and vol down) followed by the recovery key combination ( power, vol up, & home button).

I then flashed the arter97 x kernel for n920w8 and supersu in Philz and rebooted.

After I rebooted, my ROM came up.

So, long and short, if you install the wrong kernel, installing the recovery does work if you use the proper method. Obviously, I wasn't using the proper method the first 6 times I tried. This makes me a sad panda.

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] M31:
Does anyone know which kernel support Knock on feature (double tap on the screen to turn it on)?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
10.1 is live with new power saving feature.

10.1

Binder scheduler improvements

CPU core savings on video playback implemented

- This will save 1W+ of power consumption during video playback on average

Constant 1W+ power savings during something like watching movies can add up to a significant boost to screen-on time.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] DLUX24:
Thanks, but it's not in any folder

edit, I see it now. .lol
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] cerberus0f:
It's in the folder labeled 10.1 . it would be located nearer to the top in the list of version numbers.

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
10.1 release was pulled.

Go back to X(10.0), please.

The 1W+ saving statement is totally inaccurate, I forgot Exynos 7420 has idle power gated state.

Checkout AndreiLux's article on AnandTech for technical information : http://www.anandtech.com/show/9518/the-mobile-cpu-corecount-debate

And the video playback doesn't even eats 1W.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9330/exynos-7420-deep-dive/3

TL;DR - Power is already being saved. Go back to X(10.0). 10.1 release also causes micro-lags on video playback(framedrops).
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] tazzysingh1731:
But 10.1 gives awesome battery lol

Have no fear, you're not alone. I've been getting terrible WiFi connections when the phone is idle. If I go to sleep and wake up its disconnected from the WiFi if I set it down for a while and the phone goes into deep sleep it disconnects. No settings were changed from the last version.

Hi arter97

I'm using "N 920 C" on stock rom. I tried to flash philz recovery ("6.59.0 tar" given in kernel 10.0 link ) and the odin gave the warning shown on SS. Before i done it many times. I!m on stock Turkey rom. How can i solve this issue ?

Download the tar again and you can check the md with an app..
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] stu5797:
Thanks for everything Arter and Happy Birthday!

Just curious did you format your system to F2FS?

I have loved having my data/ cache formatted to f2fs but i am now scared to format the system.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] M31:
What is the difference between ext4 and f2fs?

Will it improve the read/write speed?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Ryya:
Yes, there are performance gains, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

However, fsck doesn't always fix errors with the filesystem and can error when errors are found, there are quite a lot of threads in which users have lost data, so for the marginal increase I wouldn't recommend it. If it was at a point where the file system was stable, Samsung would've most likely adopted it as the default fs (Samsung developed F2FS). But that's just my opinion, I guess if you're after every drop of performance then its a good choice, especially for the benchers and folks who overclock. (I'm not one of those, well not on my phone).

I'm sure users on this thread who use F2FS are the best people to give feedback.

SM-N920C (Note 5) - Dr Ketan Rom - Arter Kernel - CWM Recovery
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
It is stable.

It is already being used as the default file system for many Android devices including Google's own Nexus.

The only reason why Samsung is not adopting it is Kim Jaegeuk(head of f2fs) left Samsung in favor of Motorola when Samsung was pushing with "removable battery" concept.

By architecture, f2fs does less syncing and leads to data loss when user pull out the battery, which is not Samsung was looking for.

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] M31:
But Note5 has a built-in battery so we don't have to worry about data loss due to less syncing when user pull out the batt, right?

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Ozgurce:
Wifi disconnecting issue is in the stock too. I dont think its about your kernel. I have really bad connection on my home router. When i change the wpa2 too wep it helps a big time but still disconnects some times. I can disable psm mode in secret code and its helps too but its really drain more battery. It happens when you try to do big things. Like sidesync. Its difference between routers. on my work router i dont have problem not frequently.
