There is something incompatible with Infinity v4 Rom, Could you, please upload Phantom kernel v2.1 NFS here to download it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] m7maa7roos:
you tried v2.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] flitzz:
Dear Developer, this is my logcat made on Infinity ROM IF4.0 + Phantom kernel v2.4 which again made my phone freezes after a while and reboots. Could you please, see this strange problem with this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ricardo2511:
One quick question dev, do you think the best option is to leave the kernel the same without tweaking anything on synapse? And as always, thank your for your great and hard work!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] m7maa7roos:
you tried clean flashing rom and kernel by wiping everything?

ive done that and it looks stable for me till now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sound2005:
Many many thanks for adding drivedroid support

Will try this out soon!!!!!

2.4 is good to go ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hshah:
Just flashed v2.4 on top of Hades v6. Installed Mtweaks afterwards to look at what the default settings were. Noticed the attached and am a bit confused because as per the OP details I thought CRC would have been disabled, and fsync possibly enabled.

Am I looking at the right thing or have I got it wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
"- disabled Dynamic FSync on boot - can be enabled after if needed for extra performance;

- Enabled software CRCs on the data blocks can be up to a significant 30% performance cost, but can be disabled for extra performance;"

Dynamic FSync: OFF

Conserative governor working or is still a little bugy? worth to add him as main governor? or blue active is the best? Can i use naptime with phantom kernel or he will makes conficts?

Phantom 2.4 wih Magisk 19.1 on Lightrom v9 works perfectly even with fde.ai and viper4android 4.1.

Thanks for the stable kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] flitzz:
I'm always using the newest BL and Modems, I've made clean install and Reset Mtweaks data, but it went crazy rebooting again and again. It enters after reboot but when you start an app no matter what app it reboots again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] m7maa7roos:
Thanks dev for the great kernel!.

i was wondering, which is supposed to save more battery 00battery_profile or the 00extreme_battery_profile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
I believe there is something wrong with dalvik cache creation... Not sure exactly what.

Kernel has a protection when dalvik cache is not created correctly. It will do a reboot if it detects it wasn't created or created ok and the ROM will try to create it again after reboot. The fact that the phone reboots when opening any app is due to the missing or bad dalvik cache.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Use Spectrum for simple profile switching or Mtweaks or even better use Synapse for even more options. Spectrum and Synapse can be used together. Synapse is a little more advanced and tricky to use, but after you get used to it, it will be better than the other.

The scripts for interactive are ok, but not as good as the profiles witch are more optimized. And there is a safety measure to reset profile to default (balanced) on reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
So many questions...

blu_active has been optimized to work best as default, if you want to get better battery life try Spectrum battery profile. For even more, lower CPU frequencies. You can combine it with CPU input boost until a proper balance is achieved.

Naptime from my testing will actually consume more battery then it saves. If you still feel that you have to much battery consumption while in doze witch is basically not kernel's fault but ROMs or some other app, or apps, due to wakelocks, use Device Care to optimize apps or reduce the auto run nr of the apps (if you have the chinese version).

You can also change the stock doze to aggressive (you can use the script from =Phantom Scripts= folder) or even customize it, but you'll need Synapse for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
I see that many people who use my kernel are just flashing it and expect everything to automatically adjust to there will. Well... The kernel isn't telepatic, has no magical powers or some artificial intelligence that knows what the user want. It's just a custom kernel with many adjustable paraments available, that can be changed according to different scenarios the user wants. BUT the user will still need to know how and what to change to get the desired result.

That being said, if you don't want a headache and want to keep it simple use Spectrum app. It's available in Play Store. Just read the app description and you're ready to use it.

Of course by using only Spectrum you'll actually use about 20-30% of the things this kernel is capable. Mtweaks is a better solution. It's more advanced, it has more options available and Spectrum profiles in notifications to be able to switch profiles on-the-fly.

If you really appreciate and of course need more customization and have time and patience, Synapse is the way. It is much more adapted to the kernel by me, to fully get the hole 100% of features available and to have proper description of any feature you want to change.

Changing things will not always get you the results you want, so reading about tweaks on Google and testing different configurations is the only way to do it.

If you're not sure about a configuration DON'T apply it on boot! Make sure it works by testing it a few days.

Kernel will reset parameters on every boot so no worries if freezes or reboots happen. Yes, changing some things can lead to that, because every phone is different. For some it will work for others won't. I know life is just unfair... But get over it.

... and enjoy it. :)

Thank you very much for your help. I already have follow your steps i use synapse i love this app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hshah:
[MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION] - You mentioned that the kernel resets settings on every boot... I'm guessing it does that and then if you have set tweaks to apply on boot, they get reapplied again after?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hshah:
Thanks! I'm just tinkering because I have high battery drain that I need to get to the bottom off.

Also just to add, I get this with multiple ROMs and Kernels, so it is definitely down to something I'm running rather than an issue with said ROMs and Kernels :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hshah:
[MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION], sorry back for another possibly silly question... what is the reason for offering two different versions of Synapse? Is a particular version recommended?

On a reparate note, on your site for each nSSD kernel it says:

Phantom Kernel wihout

"without" is spelt wrong :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kaykobad:
After flashing 2.4 nSSD....device care animatiom shows changes as odd..

Dear Sir, the 2.4 nssd is good to me. But after flashing some animations in device care, screen shot have been changed. May face more changes which show odd to me.. can u help me in this...dear Dev...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Ver. 0.45 is last classic version while 0.46 is a modded nicer looking one from UKMS project.

Thanks for pointing the typo. I'll correct it.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
What do you mean by changed? Animations are controlled by ROM so kernel can't really change them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ferbee:
Hey, so in Setting > Developer Settings

For me there is no option to "Revoke USB Debugging Authorizations"

Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
I'm afraid not. This isn't a kernel related issue. It's ROM. Why do you need it? ADB should work fine with PK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Shogunes:
Hello, first thank you for the mega great work you are doing on the project and I would also like to make my contribution and will pay €10am today. Now a question, is it possible for users who want to put the CPU clock further up? Of course, with loss as far as the battery is concerned. Then it would be possible to increase the charging current? For those who want it as with the CPU or other settings with the appropriate app.

I would also very much like to pay a little more for this if the voltage change feature for the charging current from instead of 18 watts to 20 watts or similar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ferbee:
I remember a while ago i had this issue with MadMax Kernel, and i switched to this kernel and it fixed the issue.

I'll try looking around to see how to fix it.

Edit:

Like it may just be a problem with my device, but i just flashed RZ kernel, and now i have the option again. It's really odd, when i finish doing what i needed to do, I'm going to switch back to PK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] flitzz:
Even I've changed to Hades Rom v6.0 I'm facing similar problem as spontaneous freezes after using apps or pulling notification panel down. This freezes are not present with RZ kernel, it's so odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rico13:
I find that when I flash the latest version of magisk, my phone behaves exactly as you described , but even rz lagged like crap. Version 19.0 (19003) works best for me . Maybe that could help ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tabeebjarrah:
Thank you developer

I have installed v2.4

But root and magisk is lost

How can i install magisk again ?

I tried different versions of magisk

But it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] i23u8:
Magisk 19.1 works perfectly with PK 2.4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tabeebjarrah:
Thank you bro for your help

I tried it

But no luck

May be its a rom related problem

Im on hades v 6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] B.Black:
I use the same ROM and have no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rico13:
Magisk 19.0 (19003) is the only version that will successfully flash via recovery for me. I've tried flashing other versions and i still lose root. I Don't understand but that's my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] i23u8:
You are welcome. I am on Lightrom May 6 version, it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Flash Magisk uninstaller.

Reboot to ROM (no root), then back to recovery.

Flash kernel (again probably).

Then flash Magisk.

Install modules/give su access again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hshah:
[MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION], are the profile scripts up to date or am I misunderstanding what each of them are meant to achieve?

I was under the impression that "balanced" was basically the default Phantom Kernel settings, but having looked at the contents, the settings are not even close to what I thought were the defaults.

I've cleared Synapse and reflashed the kernel, and after all that, the settings Synapse presents are far what each of the profile scripts contain.

Whilst I've cleared Synapse data and ensured no other kernel management apps are present, could there still be something else lurking around and affecting applied settings? If so, where would I check for this?

Also, why do you all the defaults being reapplied at boot? Is it purely a safety / mitigating risk measure, or are there any other technical benefits?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PivotMasterNM:
The profile Scripts still stem from when the Pie Kernel was merely a ramdisk mod because of no Source-Code having been released yet. They are technically outdated and depricated, yet some users prefer them. They are nice to have if you don't want to root your device.

Spectrum is the way to go though. Those profiles are optimized by the dev himself for the various scenarios.

The default setting are what the dev sees as "ideal". Ideal is not the same as balanced, as the dev may prefer more performance or more battery conscious settings that are not as balanced.

There are no special scripts or anything applying certain settings without you wanting it. If some settings you set in synapse do revert, it is because of the android system making temporary changes (like battery saving mode for example or thermal throttling) and afterwards reverting it to the default values.

Default settings are always applied at boot for stability. If you mess something up in the kernel settings, and your phone crashes, you can be sure that it will boot back up. It's just for safety.

Hey [MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION] ! Have you reconsidered implementing f2fs? I can't estimate how much work it is to put it into the kernel, but it would be so cool to have it :) Please!

btw 2.4 is great, especially battery life has greatly improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
It's not a priority right now, but might add it, haven't thought about F2FS lately.

Version 2.5 will have better responsivness while still maintaining a good battery life and stability, plus updates of different drivers, source etc that will add some new features and remove some useful ones.

Still in testing though... Fixing bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JiaQiGao:
Sorry a bit clueless here.

Knox is faked 0x0 but for whatever reason samsung apps work properly on the stock kernel but not yours.

For example Internet secret mode, secure folder, password manager thingy all work on stock kernel but after flashing the latest phantom kernel it all stops working, just crashes.

not sure how to diagnose the issue and I want to be able to use drivedroid :/

oh and um on "drketanrom"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
Internet browser secret mode and Samsung password manager (autofill) are working fine, from my testing on different ROMs. Secure folder will not work on rooted (modified) devices (ROM), it never did.

Hi good sir, is it possible to have encryption enabled on this fantastic kernel. once device encryption is enabled and kernel flashed, it will not go past samsung boot. but works perfectly otherwise. Your kernel gave new life to my note 3 and up to this date on note 8. Thank you. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 6h0st:
I haven't tested encryption, but I don't think it will work, only if stock kernel (or similar) and secure storage enabled (witch it isn't on PK).

I'm glad that you enjoy my work! [emoji846][emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jondayunyor:
I have been flashing back and forth with encryption to no avail with my 2 Exynos Note 8s. What worked was to turn off Secured Startup in settings prior to flashing the kernel. This way it boots with PK. Checked /data in twrp and still unmountable so I assume it is encrypted. So before boot im not asked for the startup security. But good thing it still requires to unlock the device once it's up. Im good with this setup. But either way with or without encryption, PK, as it is, is the kernel to have and perfect for that christmas morning feeling you get for customization. Thanks!
