[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] drakenabarion:
Hi all!

I am finding it annoying and am a little... Something Something... At Google for creating SafetyNet that blocks certain apps from the play store. I didn't realise that I could no longer see Netflix until I read the article on the XDA main page!

Its condescending and rude that companies scapegoat their security problems on having root. Most people who have it, know they have it, accept the risks, and generally don't use it for whatever DRM paranoid various companies have. Heck its mostly used for maintaining custom roms, which wouldn't even be necessary if oems did their own roms right (EMUI 5 still being the best I gave used so far!)

I am a pc user and I have the liking of a certain amount of user control on my devices!

Rant over....

Magisk can hide root but I notice that whenever that mode is enabled, the finger print reader becomes disabled.

Anyone have a solution for that?

I have become dependant on the finger print reader, so I rather just not use Netflix and stick with SafetyNet limitations if I would otherwise have to do without the reader. Yeah yeah I am annoyed at Netflix too.

Guys I would like to ask if there is a way to unbind a Mi account from our mi 5s plus. My brother, the previous owner of the phone, gave it to me, but he forgot the password and email address of the mi account. There is no way we can log-in and delete the existing device on his account. I want to use my own mi account on this phone for security of my files. I will appreciate if you guys could help me out.

I am shocked too see people spreading the news that moto z play will get Android 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 like its so fortunate for moto z play. I mean c'mon doesn't Google has an 18 months software update policy? This phone was just released in September 2016. So I believe our moto z play should go atleast till Anroid O yeah?!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Hi everybody!

I'm new to the Verizon S5, but I followed the great bootloader unlocking thread and decided to make some custom roms and kernels. So, this is my kernel thread.

I've been building for the S4 and the Note Edge, so I hope you don't mind if I step in here. I'm not trying to step on anyone else's toes, and I hope you all don't mind another developer hanging around.

You can find all my work at https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser when I get a chance to get it uploaded. I live in Alaska and do have limited and slow internet, so please be patient.

See post #2 for Nougat kernels.

-Change boost settings

- and more!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
great work .

Ive been asking around about this , there was a thread that ported a backtrack/kali for the s5 and that kernel had the feature of controling the tx and rx of the phone, i dont know if you could include those commits in yours as well for LOS and also if that could be applied to the tx and rx of the modem to boost reception of signal for 4G....that's if its possible.

Looking foward to the next updates.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1droidmod:
[MENTION=7026648]AlaskaLinuxUser[/MENTION] hey, thank you for sharing your work and throwing new stuff out there for us to mess with. Much appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks! I'll have to check into that.

Thanks! Next up is over clocking. I usually keep it light on the oc.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Quick update, new kernel, praise God, it even works!

Overclocked to 2533 MHz without increasing voltage.

I had to reset my cellular settings after flashing this, however, I am using my Verizon phone on an AT&T network through Straight Talk, so I'm not sure if that matters. But after a reset of the cell settings, data started working just fine for me.

My kernels tend to be more battery oriented than performance, but I like to overclock a little without increasing the voltage to get the most bang for the buck. Enjoy!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
now since it overclocks maybe now you can attempt to undervolt it and the gpu to the bare minimum that it will allow without it freezing and rebooting ( even better battery life) , on the other kernels ive tried i was able to get it to stay at a -125mv but had to bring the cpu frequency down to 1400'S or 1200's some users said that -100 at stock frequency was stable so mayby for your kernel a -90mv with the overclock is def possible. sadly we still can undervolt or overclock the gpu as well
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Actually, my plan is to add voltage control to the kernel, so you can adjust it to any level you want. I just finished adding that option to the Galaxy S4, including the GPU, and hope to do the same here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Praise God! New kernel is up! Added I/O schedulers!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Praise God, another working kernel update!

View attachment 4166166

Added [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] voltage control! Credit goes to him for the code. I just added it to the kernel.

You can control this in Kernel Adiutor, but remember, adjusting voltages can be dangerous and may alter the space time continuum of your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Praise God, another kernel update!

Over clocked the GPU to 600 MHz ( a 4% gain ) without increasing voltage! Its been working great all day, but I don't play heavy graphics games, so a gamer should give it a go and let us know the results!View attachment 4169752
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
WOW!!! testing now , pretty much for me i play one game pretty much all day , so def will test now and report back if any issues occured during the time period.

also my question is , do you see any possibilities of gpu voltage control?

also do include the kcal v2 for the screen (rgb) calibration. to properly dim the blacks and pop up colors.

if you keep this up , seriously hands down your kernel will turn-out to be the best kernel for the S5 , especially since you are putting in new feaures that the other kernels don't have. I mean a gpu overclock , i dont think no other dev have accomplished that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Well, actually [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] has a kernel that over clocked the GPU much higher than me. However, my focus is on over clocking without increasing voltage.

As for voltage control for the GPU, I hope so.

I will look into kcal v2? I was thinking of adding [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] fauxsound next.

Most of the work I do is piggy backed off of great work from people like ktoonsez, Faux123, and [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION], so I can't take much credit. Thanks for the kind words though!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
actually yea Faux sound would be great as well.... ps. had a random reboot occured , the phone was just siting there charging , but noticed now that its stuck in a bootloop....not sure if its the kernel since its the first time that occued and the only change made was the kernel today.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Interesting. Could you pull a last kmsg if it happens again? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
So far it has not happened again but i will keep a close watch on it. but i highly think that its a rom related issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Trouble with FauxSound....

Just an update, I am working on the FauxSound mod, but something keeps going wrong. I end up with no sound. WIP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
How is the project coming along?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great question. I'm still having trouble with faux sound. I decided to table that for now and work on a few other improvements for the S5 instead.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
Ok, im still running it because for me that 4% gpu boost def improve my game , that slight little lag is gone , i compared it to 2 other good nougat kernels and hands down yours runs better , so for sure if later on more gov for both gpu and cpu and kcal and the other whistle and bells are added then its golden kernel for kltevzw. you could colab with smartpack kernel's dev regarding the faux sound since he has well faced issues at first with it but got it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great call on the smartpack kernel.

And thanks [MENTION=7060205]sunilpaulmathew[/MENTION]

He has switched from faux sound to a simple sound control that you can adjust in kernel adiutor, so I implemented that. I also added fast charge for USB charging, toggle it on in KA.

As for the sound control, I am not sure if it is working properly. I can't tell the difference. The sound is working, but a YouTube video I was testing with did not change as I moved the sliders, so it may need a reboot after changing, I am not sure.

Either way, the update is in the OP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sunilpaulmathew:
Hi,

Nice to know that one more dev is now working for S5. Great work. If possible, extend ur kernels to other klte variants (you don't need the device to do that :p ) so that it will be useful to lot more. Regarding sound control, I also found that it is not at all boosting the speaker play back volume not only in youtube, but also in audio/video players (It do boost headset sound everywhere). The best thing is that the Microphone gain is working pretty good which is really really important for all the aosp roms in kltexxx (and faux sound somehow failed and made several issues). Keep up the good work and feel free to take anything from my repo, if it is useful for your kernel...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
What happens if this Nougat kernel is used with a dev aboot / stock MM VZW rom? Am looking for a faster kernel for dev MM stock but it seems that Android version was skipped. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great question!

It will most likely either boot loop, hang at the boot screen, or immediately dump you back to the recovery screen.

Any ROM needs the stuff in the ram disk (which is with the kernel) to set up your phone in a particular way so the ROM can load.

This will set up the phone without many components that the stock Roms need, particularly for touch wiz. Permissions will not be meet leading to endless fault crashes or kernel panic. This is also for nougat, so it will do things that your mm ROM had not heard of yet, causing things like anr, etc.

I don't recommend it.

However, it is your phone, and there is a microscopic chance it might boot, but it will never be right.

Hope that helps!

You could just flash the AOKP 7 ROM I made with this kernel instead. ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Barabba11:
Is it possible to install it on a cid11 locked bootloader? I've installed Safestrap, what about boot on it, wipe and install this?

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
no cd11 is out of luck , for this flashes to work , bootloader has to be unlocked , no other way around it either for roms or kernels.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Well, first two attempts at adding kcal were flops. Still a work in progress though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
Do make sure that you are not using Kernel-Auditor mod when testing your new kernels , alot of new features like kcal/faux sound dont work with that variant of kernel-auditor , the official one from google play works with them.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks again for your kind words. I have updated the kernel so it may be flashed on any KLTE phone. I only have tested it on the Verizon S5, though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:

Have you tried gray scale for battery saving? Did you notice any difference?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
never tried gray scale , will see if it improves my s.o.t and left-over % at the end of the day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
I did not see a noticeable difference using gray scale, I think the battery gain there is minimum. The backlighting for the screen makes a much bigger difference.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
New kernel in OP for download. No real changes, just updating with the newer AOKP7, so if you downloaded the 20170905 or newer AOKP7, you need this newer kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
any luck with the undervolting settings with the kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
KazuDante,

Thanks for the reminder. I did look into it a while back, unfortunately, I was not able to under volt the deep sleep voltages. However, I then was distracted by a few things (like work requiring me to renew all of my comptia certifications...) And then didn't get back to this. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to implement that at this time. I just don't have the time or ability to do that right now. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner on that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
nah its okay , we understand , i just wanted to check on the atatus of the kernel and its future plans . but i dont think that deepsleep can be undervolted(which would be awsome ) because in all cust.kern ive seens its always been the available freq that can be undetrvolted , for our device that would be the 268mhz all the way up to the 25xxmhz that undervolting could be applied to.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waleslie:
I am currently a Verizon customer and am still using my old Galaxy SIII.

Several years back, I allowed the phone to install an update which essentially locked down the phone. Something like Knox if I recall correctly. It made it so that I was unable to install custom recovery, such as TWRP which I had used for years. As a result, I stopped paying attention to the android development forums and such... so I'm a rather out of the loop now.

Anyway, I'm looking to finally upgrade my phone and am looking for some guidance / recommendations. Are the newer Galaxy phones still locked down or are you able to install custom roms / recoveries? If so, are there brands other than Samsung that are more popular as far as being able to install custom roms / recoveries? I'm interested in the Android Pay and/or Samsung Pay features that came out a few years ago (are these features still useful?)

Additionally, I am still on the grandfathered unlimited data plan, which I would want to preserve in the process of upgrading.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Even i'll give points to PIM Backup, one of the best applications, i ever had.

Very compact and light application, but with advanced functionality. Can take a backup of messages, tasks, call log, contacts, speed dials, tasks etc. all at the same time. On top of that, you can schedule the time of backup, at which it will create a backup file, that too everyday. So that your backup is up to date.

It would be already there in some other threads, still postin' you a copy.
