Well I've been busy with other projects [emoji12]

I'm currently testing the F2FS with the latest patches plus much needed Aroma revamp.

Hopefully I'll have time to implement and test for the TW kernels soon.

If you don't know what this is about, then best to do a bit of research or ignore it. ;)

Stay tuned. [emoji16]

Hi everyone,

I need firmware for SM-N920F. I cant find it on the support site. Does anyone have a copy, or maybe a link to a site where I can download? Would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] saleemhd:
Can somebody please tell me why my phone(n920c) with this kernal turns off by itself sometimes?. and does not turns on unless i go to download mode and cancel it.

Thanks in advance

Is there an N7 ROM where bluelight/torch/AOD work with this kernel?
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You already spam arter97 thread. Now here. Obviously it's not the kernel, but probably your firmware version. But I haven't a clue, a bit similar to your "report".

Why would it....

[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] ThePraetorX:
So are all N7/graceUX ROMs unsupported? No plans?

For instance, Nemesis kernel has AOD/torch/bluelight working with Minotaurus ROM.

With your kernel (and arter97) these don't work..
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Although SkyHigh was the FIRST custom exynos7420 kernel to support UX boot, I have never wanted to support further than that. If you took the time to read the thread, or many many of my posts answering this SAME question in multiple threads . . . . you would know.

Flash another kernel ;)

[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
There is no other Exynos 7420 kernel like this and if you took the time to have a read, more than enough "options" to suit everyone. The kernel cannot EVER compensate for either user habit or poor unoptimized ROM and apps.

v6.8.0 release

v6.8.0 Release for :

N920C

N920CD

N920G

N920I

N9208_SEA

N9200_HK

Test on STOCK N920CXXU3BPJ7 firmware + TWRP 3.0.2-2.

BUG: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

Amongst other things, implemented EXPERIMENTAL F2FS support with latest stable patches available. (Much faster I/O - write speeds). Instructions in Post #2.

Optimized specifically for STOCK TW ROMs, especially not the laggy hybrid and BETA N7 UX ROM ports !! (no offense to the excellent

effort

from the cooks / devs, but it is what it is until official Samsung firmware and sources are released . . . ). If you must use a customized UX ROM, then it has been suggested the A8 ports are much better. Not my opinion, but for you to try, and remembering that any "kernel" bug is not my issue, but the ROM cook to sort out. SkyHigh officially supports and works best on STOCK TW.

[ Kernel source : soon ]

Enjoy

[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] Tomleungyuethei:
Thank you for updating skyhigh kernel to v6.8.0. I'm so happy to use it on my hk note 5.

For the convertion of ext4 to F2FS, I have some questions.

I know the pros of this convertion, but would be something else that I need to be reminded?

If I need to upgrade or backup/restore my firmware later, do my note 5 is needed to convert to ext4 again?
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Having some issues with TWRP, but does not make things impossible.

I haven't tested every single outcome, but I'll try to assist.

I don't think Odin recognise the F2FS partition, so flashing Odin may prompt / force you to reset the device == all data on internal storage will be lost. Make a NANDROID and back everything to USB-OTG.

You can backup or restore data on both EXT4 or F2FS. Just run the script before restoring.

As I said in instructions, backup, then flash to EXT4 before installing any custom ROM (not tested). The ROM may have delete or format commands not compatible with F2FS and this TWRP and cause corruption and failed boot. So flash to EXT4 before that.

Remember to use USB-OTG and DO NOT flash scripts or restore data from internal storage and NEVER use TWRP to delete whilst partitions are F2FS. With a good backup, and follow the instructions exactly, you should be fine.

Good luck

Hi UITA, I have installed synapse. Enabled NTFS and rebooted the phone. Waited for 120 seconds and opened synapse but am getting some error. Installed paragon but still not recognizing my drive. Your advice will be helpful. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
1. Restart Synapse or clear Synapse data and reboot.

2. Enable NTFS and apply.

3. Connect storage.

4. Ensure paragon app has su access and mounts storage.

5. Navigate to directory NTFS is mounted

1. There are a number of compiler warnings when compiling for Korean version (using same source for all). I didn't manage to fix the warnings them either.

2. I won't merge in Korean source as I've learnt from past history they where cause of 'inconsistencies' with supported variants.

3. Lack of previous interest from Korean user.

It's too difficult and time consuming. Please read Posts #3 for further information
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] DZeroX:
Hello, [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION], I have a question. During the flashing of the kernel, after the SuperSU installation, during the boot image flashing part, it finds the boot image in /dev/block/sda5, extracts the ramdisk, starts to decompress it, but then just aborts. I'm not too knowledgeable about the subject, but would this be an issue that would prevent me to have 100% of the features of this kernel? I'm on a N920G, and from your first post, I see that the ramdisk base is for a N920C, so could the fact that they are different models prevent the boot image from being patched? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Ignore it.

The zip it just complaining it can't unpack the boot.img. SuperSU.zip does not support the boot.img LZO de/compression algorithm I use, hence why I have PRE-patched ramdisk.

Just flash it,

do nothing after

except 'reboot system' == DONE :D
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] DZeroX:
Yep, as a matter of fact, I have my screen timeout set for 2 minutes, so when the screen is off, I know I'm ready to roll. Thanks for the headsup, and glad you are back. Started using your kernel since February, when I got my N5, and have been missing it ever since you left.

Mobile Hotspot isn't working

I can connect to the WiFi Hotspot, but it doesn't have any internet connection. The samething happened when my friend tried to connect to my hotspot with their phone. I can still browse the web on my phone.

My Phone Info:

Device Model: Note5 SM-N920W8

Firmware Version: MMB29K.N20W8VLU2BPE3

Rom: Samsung Stock Rom 6.0.1 May 1st security patch

Kernel Version: 3.10.102-SkyHigh_MM_v5.6

Modem: N920W8VLU2BPE3

Synapse: I reverted back to default. also tried to play around with the Network settings but had no luck.

Xposed: Amplify, RootCloak, Youtube AdAway, Youtube Background Playback.

Steps to reproduce: Turn on Mobile Hotspot. Connect to it with another device. The Other device can connect but receives no internet

It use to work with arter97 kernel 21.1.

I flashed over arter97 kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You post in the wrong thread / forum. This International section.

My friend has a N920T and never an issue on any the firmware. There "might" be a slight ramdisk difference.

If you are willing to do some testing and give feedback, then please send me your latest OFFICIAL stock boot.img for N920W8. You can extract fresh and unmodified from sammobile.com
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] Rx8Driver:
Yes, i can confirm on 920t the hotshot runs flawless on every firmware I've run, and that's been many...including ux workout call audio and even on cm13 the Hotspot works....

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I would suggest making sure your Hotspot is configured to allow connections from all devices not just allowed devices and also that you don't make any build.prop dns changes, like switching the default dns from your carrier to Google or opendns...

NEON optimization

[MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION]

Was just reading and researching GCC optimization flags. . .

https://forums.xilinx.com/xlnx/attachments/xlnx/ELINUX/8281/1/neon_fpu_hw_acceleration_v2.pdf

Would like to experiment by adding the neon optimization for A-57/53.

Example:

-mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -ftree-vectorize

-ffast-math (optional. required for floating point vectorization)

I have been reading here : https://developer.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a57

It shows NEON SIMD with crypto ext (support VFPv4 Floating point)

Now, I refer to this resource : https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html

The question is, which would be the 'more correct' one ?

neon-vfpv4
neon-fp-armv8
crypto-neon-fp-armv8

EDIT-1: Anyway after adding to Makefile KBUILD_CFLAGS , my Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.0 & URBERTC 5.3 toolchain(s) both output this error . . . .

aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=neon-fp-armv8’
edit: same error for all . . . .

Having a dig around, the newer compilers may only need the below ??

-ftree-vectorize

Any solution ?????
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] robcore:
Hey man!

I know this wasn't meant for me, but I feel like Chekov in Star Trek yelling "I can do that!" while running through the ship. :silly:

The neon/vfp flags depend solely on the toolchain you're using. I build for an older device, so the only example I have is from that, but these are the flags I've been using for my kernel and they work perfectly:

mcpu=cortex-a15 -mtune=cortex-a15 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4

The cortex flags are because the a15 is the closest to krait300 that gcc has special build optimizations for (if enabled when building the toolchain), but the mpfu is the one I think is pretty universal.

If the cpu for your device (a57 I think?) has optimization features supported by gcc, you should be able to tune the other flags I mentioned accordingly. If there are optimized toolchain builds for that processor, use them and it will help with performance as well! As for the tree vectorize flag, I know for sure it's useful on armv7a, but you may want to double check to make sure armv8 is helped by it as well.

Hope I helped!

Rob
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I have those other SoC specific flags and been using those for 7420 5433 5420 without issue and also vfpv4 previously on older SoC.

Just really enquiring which "vfpv4" is more suitable for A57. A57 has NEON crypto, but haven't managed to compile it with the 2 toolchain I've tried so far.

A lot of that information I linked makes for great reading. I generally try not to just use a shotgun method you see around the forums. But sometimes I might throw something in, just too answer the "what if"
