Post wakelock info, please.

Just saying that is not helpful at all.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
I do know that 9.0 betas are causing some music playback issues during screen-off.

The reason is simple. Your music player somehow requires more than 2 Cortex-A53 cores to be properly played(and it's most likely that it will drain much more battery than a *decent* music player), and 9.0 betas lock down all the rest of the cores during screen-off.

The 9.0-beta5 actually have this behavior user-configurable.

The default value for this will be stayed "on", so users who have issues with music playback and stuffs should disable this feature manually.

I'll post full intructions on how to do this when 9.0 stable goes live.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Zanr Zij:
I have no music playback issues event screen off.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] lightdelegate:
I had a case on the beta 5.

Using the camera and locked up the screen. Then no response from the phone for about 10 sec. Not from pressing the home button and not from pressing the power button.

Hi,

With the Direct pen input option, so if you hover the pen over the text input you should see a icon pop up so you can switch to handwriting mode right... well it's not popping up. Anyone else having this issue? I've turned it off and on and restarted, nothing seems to activate it. That little icon never shows up anymore. I'm on arter97 9.0beta 4. Also running ditto rom note 5. Don't think it's the rom because it used to work on arter97 7.0 beta (I think beta) same rom.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] gcrutchr:
Pen is working fine. Just tested it and can switch to handwriting.

Am on v9 b5 kernel and no pen issues.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] hshah:
Dual SIM support was dropped a while ago mate.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Violet x:
Damn, just updated kernel still no little icon.. could it be the rom? If not what else can I do?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] gcrutchr:
Am on stock ROM except for mods I made to SystemUI and SecSettings.

I tested using Line msg app. Worked okay. Works in PlayStore

It will not work in some apps I have: One Note, Jota text editor, etc.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] dr.ketan:
There is no reason to believe it has something to do with kernel. It could be your ROM or Any mod (modification) you may have installed.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Violet x:
I will test it on a different rom and I'll see if that helps. I'll also post in the rom forum of what's happened and hopefully it gets fixed, thanks guys :)
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] vibrantliker:

Flashed with this kernel what function will missing or not working? As ivknow dual sim are not working.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] bala_gamer:
Probably it's due to the uhq upscaler which needs more than 2 cores for real time upscaling?

BTW, just rooted and installed your kernel straight. Thanks for all your work here mate.

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Ed Law:
Hi Guys

I upgraded from 6.0 and went straight to the 9.5 beta release on my n920i and can confirm that it has been working very smoothly for the last 24 hours.

I haven't been on the phone much (in terms of phone calls) so i am yet to confirm whether it randomly reboots during calls or not. but i can confirm that it is very responsive (more so than 6.0) and is very good on battery life.

I will be sticking to 9.5 beta until something goes wrong or a better version is released.

Ed
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
Those who're wondering, most of my kernels are backwards compatible with older releases.

You're completely fine to switch all the way from 3.6 kernel to latest alpha/beta releases.

If you don't like latest development of this kernel, I'd appreciate some feedbacks and logs but also, you're completely free to choose to go with older kernel.

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] rasc51:
installing 9.0-beta7 on n920T with TEKXodus HYBRID N5/S6Edge+ URv3.5 rom, will keep you updated
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
There was an kernel panic issue with previous releases, which I hope that 9.0-beta7 would have solved it.

This kernel panic issue is related to memory-management, specifically on swapping memory.

https://bitbucket.org/arter97/andro...mits/5a77db3c5f2583910a3bea5ef50df495dd71cd70

I assume all releases after, including 8.0-alpha2 would be faulty.

I was just wondering if any of you were sure about this.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] UnderCoverLover:
Flashed 9.7 on my N920T. Rebooted twice while watching video on default player. Also, i'm not sure if it matters but my Geekbench score was extremely low. I went back to 9.5. I've been very happy with it.

Thank you Arter for all the effort you put into your Kernals. I'm not sure how to run logs or anything like that but if you need any additional info i'd be more than happy to help.

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] , apologetic insistence , but you could respond to requests to give support to N9208 , or at least tell us if you're going to support or not. Thanks and great job you're doing.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Idan73:
Never had random reboots, but had couple of episodes of phone going crazy after phone call. Once on one of the 8ths and 9 beta5 today. It would start randomly unlocking phone, playing music etc, also would scramble my sms (messages and phone numbers not belonging to each other). Reboot solves it.

Stock odexed rooted with arter kernel.

Note 5 ?

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Arter made announcement, when he dropped support, and why.

Is he now supposed to answer every post requesting support for it, every single day?

If he didn't answer so far, than probably answer is no. If you see announcement on version release that he is reinstating 9208 support, than it is yes.

Note 5 ?

Let me revise the question. I just installed 9.7 beta 2 days ago to test it and give you some feedback, how does version 9 comes out of beta so fast?

We bearly started testing this version.

Thanks for the hard work dev and for your continues support. :)

Very minor update 9.1 is live.

The OP posts have been revamped, I want all of you to read again the main OP and /* Customizing kernel */ section.

9.1

Kies, Smart-Switch issue fixed

Added proploader for customizing kernel parameters
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
Releasing 3 different versions of kernel is all the rage these days.

10.0-alpha1

f2fs updated to Linux 4.4 merge window

Process reclaiming code from LG G4 added to LowMemoryKiller

Adaptive LMK disabled for better multitasking

zram and its dependencies updated to the mainline Linux

Replaced zswap+vnswap with zram

Swap size reduced from 1280MB to 1024MB

zram can be potentially faster than zswap with parallelized compression - max_comp_streams

If testing doesn't show improved memory managements, zram will be removed

This kernel is unstable and regular end-user should avoid it.

Try this only if you're brave and back-up before you proceed.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] guaneet:
Thanks for your hard work!! Making this device very enjoyable. Loving the hourly kernel updates :P
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Yathani:

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] SeventeenV:
To ask a stupid question, to update from an older arter97 kernel to a newer one:

Do you just simply flash the new one?

Do you flash from recovery, or Odin?

Does updating kernal affect data?

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] thank you for awesome kernel :) ... 2 quick questions regarding f2fs.

1. What's your personal preference f2fs or ext4?

2. Have you previously done any comparison test?

Thanks again
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
f2fs.

I don't like ext4, it has caused too much trouble on my Android and Ubuntu experiences.

Comparison was done very long time ago, Linux 3.0 kernel on Galaxy S3.

f2fs was twice as fast compared to ext4.

If you want some detailed comparison, compare Phoronix.com Linux 3.10 ext4's result with Linux 4.3 f2fs' result.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
Stable 9.2 and 10.0-alpha2 is up.

Every 8.0~9.1 users must upgrade to 9.2 or stick with 7.x kernel.

Choose yourself to go alpha if you like cutting-edge stuffs.

10.0-alpha2

9.2 changes merged

CPU frequency boosts on hotplugging to improve responsiveness

So many requests for N9208 support over the last few days with no response from Dev. A bit disappointing........
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] guaneet:
But if people took the time to read older posts you would know. Arter said he has dropped it until further notice. Persistence wouldn't make a difference.

Version 7 is the latest for your device
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] pcriz:
It's that air of entitlement that causes devs to clam up and stop producing.

No device is promised support, even when politely asked for repeatedly.

Turn that energy you use to be disappointed and flip it around into the will to learn to do it yourself.

Same reasons as above.

Dual-sim models' kernel sources are not up-to-date, its kernel configuration and the ramdisk is very different.

It caused all sorts of problems when I try to 'git merge' to update every device variants.

Inconsistencies, thus a very big headache in the development.

While Qualcomm's CPU governor gave better benchmarking scores, it was actually causing some performance weirdness such as sudden lags and boot time increase(by a large margin).

Thus, I'm turning it back to Samsung's one, for now :(

With that said,

stable 9.3 and 10.0-alpha3 is now live.

You might be interested in the new feature that 10.0-alpha3 has.

Helps you in the eyes while reading texts with white backgrounds.

https://twitter.com/arter97_dev/status/663229075423555584

10.0-alpha3

9.3 changes merged

A new display's color switcher implemented

- Original code from gokhanmoral's Siyah kernel for i9300

- Toggle by quadruply tapping the multitasking button

- This may not work on Note 5 or S6 edge Plus

9.3

Switched back to Samsung's CPU governor to fix performance weirdness

CPU governor patched to be more responsiveness

Boot time decreased
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] arter97:
Guys, let's do each other a favor and standardize the benchmarking app to PCMark, rather than Antutu.

You may already heard of Antutu's number is just a number.

I agree. There are tons of factors that can affect Antutu's result.

PCMark is more real-world centered, and I think there are less factors than Antutu that can affect the results.

PCMark's numbers were very consistent and it is my new favorite benchmarking app.

1. Uninstall Antutu and install PCMark and CPU-Z

2. Close all apps and activate Greenify to force-close other hidden apps, if you use Greenify, that is.

3. Open up PCMark and wait for it to finish initializing

4. Turn off auto-brightness and lower the screen brightness all the way down to minimum. And turn on airplane-mode.

5. Open up CPU-Z and go to THERMAL, wait for the "exynos-therm" to go below at least 40 °C(preferably under 35 °C, if your ambient temperature is low enough).

6. Close CPU-Z and go to PCMark and execute "Work performance" test.

7. Post your results.

Cafactive kernel was blessing, interactive causes enormous lags on ppsspp emulator and some other game, the only weird issue i had with cafa was Angry birds 2 random stuttering.
