Thanks. I was using madmax 2.3g before installing your kernel. So i wiped dalvik and cache before flashing your kernel and cleared data storage for mtweaks. Is it enough or do i need to dirty flash rom and then flash your kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] h0tkey:
I can see that with 1.8.1 reducing the screen brightness below some point doesn't seem to actually affect the brightness. The attached screenshot shows approximately where the point is.

Is this by design? The changelog mentions some panel tweaks and dimming, so I think that's the cause. Is it done to trick the auto brightness into using the minimal level more often?

Also, is there a way to manually tweak the brightness levels from the userspace?

The device is SM-N950F, using DevBase ROM 5.9 CRJ6.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Voytec83:
Hi,

Sorry but I must disagree to Your statment. For me, there is no issue with min brightness. If it stays as on the screenshot, U simply manually adjust for your needs as IMO, min. brightness applied is much lower from stock. And for brightness level tweaks on user level , U would need to edit integers.xml in framework-res.apk (but I might be wrong at this).

Well, I'm sure it's something kernel-related (or at least ROM+kernel compatibility issue), as the problem does not arise with other kernels.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
No problems with min brightness here ... so it does seem that the problem is at your end and therefore not kernelrelated ... otherwise we would produce the problem too, buddy:good:

Also, I've just checked that it does not happen with Phantom Kernel 1.7, so it's one of the 1.8 (or 1.8.1) changes.

[MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION] Any ideas on what may be the cause and which debug info may be relevant here, so I can provide it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Brightness is working as it's supposed to.

The minimum brightness steps are different from stock indeed. The brightness values are lowered for better battery life, especially in lower to medium light conditions. It can give the effect that they are the same, when you adjust brightness level with the ROM's slider towards minimum, but they aren't. They are just smaller values than stock and these values are close to each other (ex: 8,7,6,5 vs. 40,30,20,10), so it can be harder to notice a change in brightness when reducing it with the slider. Plus there isn't any gamma correction done anymore, to those steps and other, like on stock or previous versions of the kernel.

This is what Smart Screen Dimming does.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Noxxxious:
Smart dimming control (what is the rebrand to smart screen dimming?) as originally implemented by Wootever does in fact have a higher luminance. The new gamma table could even create a stuttering effect when auto adjusting or a deviation in coloring (white looking pinkish). This is what gamma does. It basically adjusts how we see light and coloring.

Edit: If you reason that the lowest brightness doesn't appear brighter (perception); there is a comparison by Wootever with and without PWM flickerfree. See the difference at 5%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PivotMasterNM:
1.8.1 is a champion for battery life, that new panel driver is working real magic.

I have to agree tho - the minimum brightness is higher than on 1.7, and I didn't fully understand the previous post:

is the minimum brightness higher by design, is it a bug or is it even possible to have the "real" minimum brightness when using the new panel tweaks?

Amazing Kernel I would say
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsser:
Ok, so this kernel is one of the best ones i have tested. It has the performance as xceed but this one is newer on linux.

A problem i have seen is when i use performance nor gaming mode in spectrum profiles, it doesnt adjust max freq to 2.6 it just stays on 2.3ghz. And whenever i adjust it to 2.6ghz, spectrum profiles stops working like it doesnt apply at all. Same goes for max gpu speed, so can you adjust some things in them on the next update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TurricanM3:
Madmax has Magisk included. It's pretty comfortable to flash. Maybe you consider adding it too?

I heard implementing OC is bad for performance. Anyone knows why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Not all people use Magisk. Some use SuperSU to root. Having Magisk install automatically is bad for people who use SuperSu. Plus it's not hard to flash Magisk manually after flashing the kernel.

Didn't hear that OC gives bad performance. Maybe in very hot conditions, when thermal kicks in...

Testing your Kernel ! Can use Synapse with it ?

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

Tried with Synapse, NO UCI SUPPORT ! I like Synapse alot, but Im gonna use MTweaks then
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
From testing, you should know that you should use Spectrum or MTweaks, not both. If using MTweaks to change something, this will prevent profiles when applied, to charge automatically what you previously changed manually. I guess it's an app thing and not a kernel one, because you can still manually change parameters of the kernel even though profiles are not fully applied.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Warrenforfree:
Gud day everyone specially to the OP. I tried to flash this kernel on dr.ketan rom 011p and went good. Proir to flashing i'd cleared the data of mtweaks. In recovery wipe cache/dalvic cache and flash the kernel. The only thing that is not wright is when i select a governor in mtweaks(impulse) and tried to reboot if stick. Aftre reboot goes back to default governor(blu_active). Did it several times and it's the same. Did i do something wrong.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
After doing a change in MTweaks if you want the change to stick after you reboot you must enable "apply on boot". Did you do that?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
2.6Ghz is a OC frequency. Spectrum profiles are safe to use by any user, they do not OC. If you want to OC, use MTweaks or similar apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
OK...

I will need a bit of time to figure this one, witch at the moment a don't have. I'll be taking a trip for the next two weeks and I need to get things ready... So no kernel fixing/developing until I come back.

Just wandering, what kernel did you use before Phantom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TurricanM3:
Ok that's a good point [MENTION=8436917]Magisk[/MENTION].

Some dev in a telegram group mentioned, that already supporting OC has an impact on performance for the exynos. Even without using higher clocks. But i have no idea why.

There isn't an option to turn off Smart Screen Dimming. I might figure a way to do this and switch to stock, in future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Just letting you guys know that this isn't a stock Samsung kernel. That being said, than please TRY and TEST this kernel to see if you like it, if it's better (performance, battery life, daily usage tests) or if you find bugs, issues and share results. You can also ask for help from me or other users if you don't know how to tune or tweak something.

If you don't like something and think you can do it better, or want to know how it's works, than look at the code. Keep in mind that the kernel is open source and that the source is available for download.

...and as always... Enjoy!

So I just got my Note 8 (Exynos) and I had a question before I flash this.. I read a couple of tutorials on how to root but that wipes data.. instead, can I just flash TWRP through ODIN and flash this on top without having to root my device or wipe the internal storage? or is it compulsory to wipe after flashing twrp in order for the phone to boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
This question isn't really kernel related....

But you should follow all the steps in the rooting tutorial including the /data wipe. After that you can flash this kernel.

Does anyone know how to remove spectrum from M tweak app.. Spectrum changes all changes made to cpu settings after reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PivotMasterNM:
not true - it's not spectrums fault.

On boot the kernel will revert itself back to the "normal" settings, no matter if spectrum is implemented or not - this is to prevent bootloops and ensure the possibility to return/reboot into a stable state. It's just the way android kernels work.

To make sure that your settings in MTweaks are being applied upon rebooting you have to:

1. change the settings of the category to your liking

2. turn on the switch for "apply on boot" in the top of the app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dbj.Dhaval:
I have turned on the apply on boot settings. I know that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PivotMasterNM:
then it could be an issue with root make sure it's being granted to MTweaks on boot.

I also recommend removing MTweaks from Battery optimised apps, and if that doesn't work try the settings in MTweaks that change the application.of setting when booting to a script emulation.

Hi, thanks for sharing your details. I had some rebooting issues previously, but after a clean rom and latest twrp, and now, with this kernel (v18) and deluxe v9.3 I am really really impressed with how amazing things are with Phantom kernel and note 8. I got xprivacy to work with xposed and magisk. I have a stable build now, and have made a twrp backup, I would like to further freeze bloatware. Question for you is, can you share a screenshot or a list of those apps that you froze (Samsung smart apps)? I dont have bixby or touchwiz (or w/e they call it now) but do have samsung experience (I dont know if I can freeze this). I keep the governer interactive, little cores at 14xx, and big cores at 18xx. I will switch to your setting and zzmove and see if things improve even further. Any help is appreciated my friend.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PivotMasterNM:
going slightly OT now - sorry OP.

Naptime/Greenify/App Ops/Sysconfig Patcher/debloating - I use these to restrict app background usage.

My goal with the Swift Black theme and the black wallpaper is to make as much black on my screen as possible, as AMOLED screens don't use a backlight and every black pixel is off, thus using no energy.

Switching the display to 1080p also makes everything faster and more fluid as well as goes easier on RAM and the GPU.

bonus: fstrim - simple app to regularly TRIM the internal flash storage, helps in maintaining good write speeds and a healthy NAND flash.

As I thought - nothing concrete, no details.

My statement is - throw all your 'relicts of the past' away, so U can save some battery more then with using them. I just remind we are in Oreo - not MarshMallow. My statement is based on several tests on 'magic' or similiar apks as mentioned.

I suggest to read about base rules of how Android works, then U will understand better which users' habits doesn't make sense. BTW - fstrim is included with kernel, wakelock block as well.

Wow, LOL. You're quite rude. I personally would not have wasted a second on you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Noxxxious:
Kernel wakelock blocking has nothing to do with the fact that he uses Greenify or the other stuff mentioned. It's actually quite good. Realtime benefit: restrict background resources during usage. Doze takes normally quite some time to kick in and its bound to motion, therefore Naptime. Also disabling services (sysconf patcher) can result in less alarms and break functionality. As long he doesn't care you should leave him in his values as it seems to be working fine for him.

Yet you just did

"Hi,

Either be nice, or get your English straight. You said you we're "don't looking for an explanation what they do" .

This is a forum of people discussing and helping each other, so don't complain when people actually take their time to answer your questions - no matter how accurate their answer is.

be polite, be helpful - this is what the community is about.

My "relicts" wouldn't even work on older android versions - they mostly target the Doze service and pressure it to kick in more aggressively and faster. None of these are magic, just read the kernel logs.

Android versions also have nothing to do with apps like Facebook and Instagram that love to run like crazy in the background, which they've always done and probably always will do.

I know that fstrim is built into android - our phones would be unusable after 7 days if it wasn't. The problem is that the fstrim command is only being executed during boot. I don't reboot my phone that often, so a reboot could be once to twice a month - fstrim trims my phone every day.

Wakelock blocking is something completely different - none of these apps aim to block any wakelocks.

sorry for the intense OT.
