MM SPRINT DTUX KERNEL W07F v1.7 / 710N v2.6RE / DR4G0N v2.8 (EOL)

[STOCK/PORT] [ENFORCING/PERMISSIVE] [STABILITY] [BALANCE] [SAFETYNET]

​

*** Disclaimer***

You are the solely responsible if something goes wrong. It's Recommended to be on

MM PK1 BASEBAND

. AND READ CAREFULLY FOR THE INSTALL AND DETAILS.

This is the beginning, DTUX KERNEL, there will be 3 tiers:

-Wolf Tier:

Stock alike, no fanciness but with some security patches and Enhancement in the performance and battery department.

-Lion tier:

A good volume of tweaks will be available beside what the Wolf tier offers.

Dragon tier AKA 3DDYB022 3D1T10N! :

Emotion alike, all the bells and whistles a la Dtux :)

Install instructions

-Just Flash

-Magisk v13.3 will also be installed

-Get Magisk Manager 5.1.1 HERE if you are using this root method for the first time

-Settings will be reset to default for Kernel Adiutor to prevent boot issues.

-W07F 3D1T10N Has been configured to work with a profiles system with Spectrum Kernel App -(DOWNLOAD HERE)

-710N & DR4G0N 3D1T10N Comes with Dtux Adiutor!!!

Steps for proper Gain Changes with Faux Sound

1-Turn OFF the gain locks if its on (default is OFF)

2-Change the gains to your liking

3-Turn back ON the gain locks to ensure they won't be changed by any other app and to survive reboots if the sound tab applies on boot.

NOTE THAT SPECTRUM IF YOU JUST REBOOTED IT MAY TAKE UP TO 2MIN TO OPEN AS IT APPLIES LAST CHOSEN PROFILE AT BOOT

-KERNEL STARTS IN ENFORCING MODE BY DEFAULT, BREAKING VIPER4ANDROID (IT NEEDS PERMISSIVE), INTALL THIS:

The SELinux Toggler

AND GIVE KUDOS TO THE DEV. THE APP WILL TAKE CARE ON EVERY BOOT TO PUT IT AS YOU LAST LEFT IT, WITH AN OPTIONAL NOTIFICATION

Thanks to [MENTION=5811506]Saber[/MENTION] and other relevant posts i'm going to give you a quick resume of what i understood and my

personal

findings. i'm open to any changes on this.

Take a moment to thank Saber for the wonderful research he has done.

THREAD HERE!!!

The I/O Schedulers are ranked and categorized as it follows:

bfq (#1 MULTITASKING)

cfq (ANDROID DEFAULT) (#2 MULTITASKING)

zen (tied #1 BALANCED) (#2 GAMING)

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wineguy:
Any chance of a ZL version as well?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Definitely. In all ears for what features you guys want
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
Im not sure if its kernel related probably is on un7 rom after charging to 100% and unplugging i used to go 4-5 hpurs before it drops 1% can something like that be intergrated to this kernel "if" its the part of the kernel , battery life really is all important specially to those with stock battery
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Adding ZL to the kernel helps stock batteries that sre starting to give trouble but not too much, this is unfortunately a battery problem.

We the note 4 users need to find a battery of another device that fits, like cameras other mainstream phones, etc, to have a fresher battery with us.

Whoever finds one that fit, please share it with us:good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Wow, Making New Kernels!! Awesome Bro! Keep up the Great Work!! :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
OP - Will this work with the Ultimate Note 7 ROM?

I'm running the Ultimate Note 7 ROM on a PK1 base flash.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Please try it, it should, download the stock kernel from the un7 thread just in case you get into trouble
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Yeah, I re-read the first post about testing on UN7

Unfortunately it did not work.

I flashed the new kernel, wiped cache/dalvik - rebooted, waited, waited some more, took a break, came back - still nothing - sat at the Darth Vader boot screen.

Pulled the battery, re-flashed the Beastmode Zerolemon r61 kernel, wiped cache/dalvik, rebooted, and then after a few it came back up with Android is Starting / optimizing.

Looks like a no-go for this on UN7 (and running the PK1 stock pre-flashed before installing UN7)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Thanks for reporting, i will look for the commit missing and add it to it. Stay tuned.

UPDATE! COMPILING NEW VERSION, ADDING THE FOLLOWING COMMITS

-tcp: tweak for speed

-power: quickwakeup: initial driver

-USB: android: Fix memory leak in mass_storage_function_init()

-Added HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS & Added KSM
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
V1.1, is a snapshot kernel but stable, help me guys to improve it!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
OK - Flashed the 1.1 fix and UN7 booted up fine!

Here are a couple of screenshots.

One thing of interest, when I booted up with this after flashing from Recovery, it stated SELinux is not enforcing.

Doesn't matter to me but just wondering as first post said it is SELinux Enforcing by default? (Whoops - shows Enforcing in screenshots - ignore!)

Also, my reported battery shows 3220 mah, but it is an 8000mah battery, but it also reported this for Beastmode r61 kernel as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Voltage control, Sound option like Beastmode kernel, Hotplug options (mp decision, intelliplug...) for starters...lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:

A couple of ramdisk tweaks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Booted right up UN7. Quick question...all 4 cores stay online all the time, is that supposed to be that way? Last kernel I was running the cores would go offline/online depending on "usage"
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
It shouldn't, clear cache of kernel Adiutor, im adding support to a better app for this kernel. Will upload later.

Please let me know if the cpu cores goes back to nornal
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
Ok im on 1.6 now ill test it , umm in kernel adiutor shows all 4 cores active is that normal
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Turn mpdecision off, wait a couple of seconds, then turn it on
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Guys, this is abuse on v1.9 :laugh:

Almost 3 hours unplugged

18mim screen on reading xda and searching on chrome.

Still on 100%, and yes, stock size battery.

Btw, still 100 as i type this :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
So when do we get it...lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
Still lag even on 1.6 when plugged in and trying to unlock screen . Heres what happens i hit home button screen turns on my battery icon is animated when charging normaly well when i wake the phone everythig is frozen for maybe 5 sec than it comes to life i swipe the screen to unlock nothing happens i swipe again screen turns off i tap home button again screen turns on but notification bar doesnt show for 15 sec i try to swipe twice to unlock it and still screen turns off than third time finnaly i hit home button screen turns off and i can unlock it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Very very weird, if you go back to stock kernel or other does this lag goes away?

Maybe there is an app responsible for this.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
I dont have stock lol ill try it also do i need to wipe cache eveey time i flash diff kernl or no
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Just wipe data for the Kernel adiutor app before just to make sure
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Just a fyi, I've been on Detux 8.1 with Beatmode ZL since it was released and I've had this exact same situation the whole time. Maybe something other than the kernal?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
I think you are both candidates for clean install and need to supervised the installed apps afterwards.

Install them one by one with at least a one hour space.

My emmc is not good and even with that condition i don't get that lockscreen lag and wish to take it out for you guys
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Just installed 7ion v1.8, first boot was smooth no issues, I wiped data for spectrum app prior.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Thank you for the observation of the wipe spectrum app, will add that to the install script of future kernels :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
10 hours left and im the highest bidder so lets see [MENTION=4904853]carlosggb[/MENTION]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
So here's my stats so far.

UN7 V1.1 Rom with W07F flashed

All settings pretty much default, Balanced profile

2 days - no charge - see screenshots, still have 50% battery left after 48+ hours of no charging and normal usage for me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Yeeeeeeeeeeee

This looks amazing! Niceeeee, so the kernel is now living up the expectations :laugh:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
PM SENT
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Replied!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
v1.9 OPEN BETA is LIVE!!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Using aroma ultimate note 7 hybrid with zero lemon battery. Can I just install kernel v1.9 beta or how should I change from beast mode 6.1 zl??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Just install buddy;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
GUYS I NEED A MINIMUN OF 5 USERS REPORTING THEIR RESULTS AFTER FLASHING V1.9 710N IN ORDER TO CONTINUE WITH MILESTONE V2.0

cGB
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
Send me image

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

And send me 1.9 and I'll hit it up
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
On post #3 bro, the link to the flashable v1.9 kernel is there

You're welcome :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
I knew that lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jc.m:
Anker batteries are the best for are note 4s, people needs to remember that stock Samsung batteries have a circle of 500 charges and after that the battery start losing performance, so if the battery is 1 year old just get a New one, and keep you old battery as spare.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Tried 1.9 on ultimate N7, got many FC & TW closed. Back on Beast mode 6.1zl
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Well... i have a totally different report on UN7, which fcs you got?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
TW, life360. Also phone was sluggish at 1st then sped up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
I have had zero fc's no rebooting on reboot, runs very well and pretty damn snappy. So far battery life has been pretty good! I'm pleased so far. Waiting for 2.0 but not sure if I want to change.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Thanks for the feedback and glad is working as desired.

Is there any feature that you would like to see on v2.0?

so far i just added 4 gov

Bluactive

Bioshock

Hyper

Nightmare

and im having a hell of a nightmare dealing with faux and boeffla sound, havent been able to implement them properly
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
I kinda miss the faux sound mod. Only the increased speaker option. But I guess if I miss it too much I can edit mixers.xml myself and bump sound from 82 to 84 or 85...lol.

You have anything that will decrease Google services drain. As of right now I'm using Amplify to curb some of Googles hunger for battery...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
[MENTION=2430742]ianmb[/MENTION] Please detail me what are you freezing exactly on google services, also, you dont use viper4android or dolbyatmos to increase speaker vol ?!?!?!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Did not wipe anything prior install 1.9. would that have caused FC with reboots?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
It shouldn't, the flashable clears data for Spectrum app and Kernel Adiutor app, but try wiping cache prior to see if that solves your problem
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
I do use them, but I sometimes don't like them running in the background. I mainly use them for increased Bluetooth volume for my JBL Flip3 speaker. I'll have to Screenshot my Amplify stuff for you
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
[MENTION=4904853]carlosggb[/MENTION]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
I learned the hard way that this causes more problems than solutions.

If you disable amplify, which wakelocks are you getting besides the Facebook and xda refresh?

Cause freezing or slowing down some services generate other wakelocks and could put you in a loophole
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Guess I'll have to wait and see...before Amplify, Better Battery Stats was telling me that in a 8 hour period my phone was awake with screen off for almost any hour. Today before charging it read that my phone was awake 37 minutes with screen off for almost 15 hours. I also had 3 hours sot at 37% battery left. I also had 0% Processes, highest wakelock I had was Power Manager Service Display because of sot. Biggest wakelock out of EVERYTHING was Google GMS, which was mostly location based. So I don't bro...:confused: but I DO know my battery and standby time are running pretty good so far, so I'm going to run it like this for a few days and see what kind of "loophole" I'll be getting into. No offense to you or your suggestions, but not all phones/battery/service/apps/ and especially usage are the same. Phone is charging now, but when it is done and I've ran it a little while this evening I'll upload some ss of my BBS and see if anything has changed with Amplify running.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Picture of the past 2 days of Amplify...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
ok bro, amplify do work and is true that it depends on the rom and apps installed, just trying avoid xposed and to look for the most universal possible solution as i could disable services via ramdisk command on boot but is not the best way, i prefer to lower the ping time for wakelock as i've been doing in this past kernel releases. i'll see what i can do with google gms wakelock in the meantime :good:

37min of awake time in 15 hours is very very good, do you keep bluetooth wifi and gps on all the time?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Wifi is set to always on, I only use Bluetooth when using my speaker at work and yes my location setting is set to HIGH using GPS, Wifi, and mobile service for location.

Just went into settings and changed it to run Wifi and mobile network for location only, gonna see what kind of impact that does ...lol

Went into Advanced Settings and Smart Stay has been on since I don't know when...hahaha, turned that off too...lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
Anyone run into a good governor yet for battery life?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Cleared cache before I.9 install. So far is working fine!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Alucard + Alucard hotplug.

Check post#5 for a guide on how to set up your kernel settings;)

:rolleyes:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Was better only for short time. Then phone became warm and sluggish. Went back to bestmode
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
You dont give time to the kernel to settle.. ..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
So far so good. Was sluggish at first. Seems ok now. I don't need blazing fast speed. Just wanted to me decent battery life
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Make sure you install spectrum app and select battery profile to increase your stand by time :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
I've seen people talk about the app but you got a link to it. I don't know what I'm looking for
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Post #1 :laugh:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
Fukk. I don't read anything ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] king011:
Everything great on my end, no issues to report at all :good:

Thanks for the hard work!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Much better! Deleted cache and this time deleted dalvik. Let it set overnight. Will now install spectrum.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
[MENTION=4904853]carlosggb[/MENTION] here's what I have so far...with Amplify,Greenify, and Force Doze

Seems to be running really smooth even with the Battery Profile, no loss of performance. Honestly, my phone runs faster with that setting than Balanced...keep up the good work bro!!! Just need to figure out that DAMN GMS crap...lol!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Awesome bro!!!

Try this, unistall facebook and install simple (Facebook 3rd party wrapper) most of the gcm requests are coming from fb official app, try to see if that takes gms usage down:good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bddpolo:
can you give me details or why faux is so important? excuse me I want to be just as excited as you thats all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Upgrade from DtuxKernel W07F v1.7 -> DtuxKernel 710N v2.0

Wiped Cache/Dalvik cache

Magisk reports SafetyNet Failed (Which I don't care myself, just reporting)

See image. I tried to uninstall/re-install Magisk 5.1.1 just to double-check and still Failed on SafetyNet.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
You control speaker, headphones and microphone gains via codec hardware control

You did something else, im passing
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EVObastard:
Does this mean vipor4android will not be needed?

Sent from my Dtuxed Not 4
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
Faux Sound is a hardware tweak of the audio chip of our note 4 via kernel parameters controls, it controls increase of volume for speaker, headphones. Also it controls microphone gains to help people listen to you better or to be able to talk on low volume at the office but still be listenable.

Viper4Android is a SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENT, it adds besides volume gain, it plays with differencial reverb, bass, trebble, and many many more parameters.

After starting with kernel development myself, im working to improve the audio quality HARDWARE WISE, so i can save more battery by NOT NEEDING additional services to process audio playback for us. The only thing im not sure i can do hardware wise yet is Bluetooth gain, but i honestly haven't tried yet so the possibility still exists.

EDIT 1: SEEMS NOT POSSIBLE VIA KERNEL THE BLUETOOTH GAIN. ALSO THE DIFFERENCE WITH VIPER ON/OFF IS FROM HEAVEN TO HELL, FOR ME TO BEAT THAT IS LIKE ASKING ME TO BEAT MAYWEATHER WITHOUT TRAINING ONE SINGLE DAY (YIKES!!!)
