[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] jstandfest:
So I popped over to this thread you linked to from the Venom thread and want to make sure I'm clear. This kernel (Ares-Kernel) should not be used on a Resurrection Nougat based ROM? I think that Resurrection Nougat ROM is a Lineage 14 based ROM, correct? Or even though it is Lineage 14 based, can the Areas-Kernel still be used because it is based off Lineage.

Thanks for any clarification. Left this post in other thread to just to make sure I got it in right spot. Disregard which ever one is posted in wrong spot. Thanks.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justjr:
Hey, good work mate!

Thanks for it, we were orphan but you came and adopted us, LOL, kidding.

Just some thoughts on it.

I've found that, on thermal tab, vd restriction cant be disabled while core control is enabled. That used to happen on smartpack kernel but sunil get rid of it, maybe he can help. They are not made to be active together and can make the phone super slow and prone to crashes when it gets hot and they both kick in.

I also couldn't help to notice it's using my efficiency profile as defaults (on signature), and it's awesome, they work great don't they? Haha. I assume you grabbed it with the smartpack source code, since sunil's kernel used my profile as defaults.

There are some things that are outdated thought, specially page-cluster should be back to 0 on virtual memory as it is also prone to failures (apps don't working properly, like, a black screen without responses, based on my experiences) and crashes, min_sample_time is 0 and should be 40000 (one of the interactive governor tunables), which is an overlook by myself on an early release of my profile but fixed on the latest one already. I would recommend this small changes on the defaults, as well as the tunable io_is_busy 0 to let multicore power saving disabled.

I'm glad that you're also using it but I would also like to ask proper credits for it, I know, is not code, but demanded me months of studying and testing to get it almost where I wanted! There's a little history on the thread on my signature. :cowboy:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] The~Skater~187:
I do apologize about the credit issue, I thought I had put your name in the acknowledgment section right before ktoonsz last night, as I noticed your name on a few of the files in the RamDisk. I will definitely straighten that out and thank you for pointing that out. You are correct, I so far have just synced SmartPack source, then started applying things from my other kernel for now. I wanted to get something up-to-date and stable out for you guys before I started diving deeper into other kernel related things.

As for the rest of your suggestions, I will look into them for sure. Feel free to p.m. me with any thoughts or other suggestions.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justjr:
Many thanks!

On other news, I was getting some random reboots, and found out that it was because of my undervolt settings. It's super weird, because they never gave me any problems since 3~4 months with the smartpack kernel, and it should be a setting particular to my specific device/cpu, and have the same limits across any kernel. I used the same across lots of roms, and different versions of smartpack, for nougat, oreo and pie, so, I hope you can see why I find this very weird.

But, I don't know if it's actually a 'bug', I will find some time to fine tune it, raise some voltages to see where I can go with Ares kernel without crashing. For now I'm using the default voltages.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] The~Skater~187:
I did do a bit of an overhaul on the voltage table when I added the higher oc steps, due to the fact that on my other kernel lower voltages stock we're causing problems and random freezes.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justjr:
Yeah, I'm sure you know, undervolting need to be done step by step, making sure the lowest you can go, device specific, so risking repeating myself, same voltages should probably 99,99% of the time works across any kernel/rom on a given device. I don't think it is the undervolt anymore.

It took a while but I still had some reboots with default voltage, once I was finally able to press up and home right after it, so it rebooted directly to TWRP and I copied the last_kmsg, it's attached, all configs were on default. I hope it helps to find out what it may be.

I'm back on smartpack for now, cause the same setup and profile runs without no problems, so I think it should not be a problem just on my end, is it? Anybody else?

Fun fact, I was are able to dirty install smartpack kernel over ares and vice-versa and it detected and updated itself without any problems.

I'm able to go kinda low here with no crashes:

[MENTION=4326892]The~Skater~187[/MENTION] edit: oh, I just noticed, there's no option to input 268 MHz voltage. My voltages are getting placed on the wrong frequency because of that, found the problem!

I recovered the backup I just made before installing the kernel, I had installed the shushified bootleggers 3.0 on top of the unshushified 3.0, they are the same rom except for official (shushified) status, but anyway, that may be the cause of some of my problems, adding up to the 268 missing voltage that was overlooked by me.

After that I installed Ares kernel again with no undervolt and gone to sleep. Woke up today, and no reboots, then I was trying to test undervolting it and found out about the missing 268 voltage, so every previous voltage I used was getting used on 1 clock step above, so, not enough power for sure.

Just put my exactly same volts on their correspondent freq and no reboots until now!

It also seems that Core Control is staying enabled and VD Restrictions is disabled correctly now too. So, if you experience the same you may disregard it as well.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Latako:
Thanks for this!!

Great so far, this with Pie ROMs is the best battery life I've had since stock.

4-5 hours sot, 7h active, 12h idle..(gsam stats) on this original 2800mah. I've gone from 4-5 charges a day to 1-2.

And kernel brightness control keeps the flickers away.

Edit: did notice both vdd and core thermals being active, didn't cause any overheating/reboots (i often run cpu info as overlay) but I stuck with core control only to be safe. It doesn't stick after reboot.

S5 klte
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] justjr:
Yeah, after some further analysis, I came to find out exactly the same.

After a reboot both VDD and CC come back up, and I have to do a little dance, like, disable vdd and cc, enable intellithermal, then enable only cc, or something like that, then it will stick with only cc until the next reboot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] The~Skater~187:
Ok, so I decided I'm going keep an "unofficial" SmartPack kernel going (nothing more than source updates will be applied) as well as my off shoot kernel project. I will have it available for you guys tomorrow evening.

Hi all,

Please help me out!

I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!

I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.

But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:

I have tried looking for update on a US VPN but again, no result.

You think a change of region - SPR to something else will solve this issue?

Thnx
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahmedmaklai:
Thank you i am going to try this.

Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."

So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Use the modded Odin mentioned.

You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahmedmaklai:
Great I will do a full reset. But when you say modded Odin is the prince comsey Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] salaigeethan666:
try restoring your phone's firmware using Samsung Smart Switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahmedmaklai:
Tried your method, now getting OTA updates, Thank you!!

Now I am getting "Sprint OMADM" verification stuff can you please ink me to a firmware with no carrier ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.

If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.

It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 360fluX:
Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.

Thanks a bunch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, the steps are in all the thread.

Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.

You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.

If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813

Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:

- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)

- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.

- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.

- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.

- Reboot normally to system.

From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).

If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).

And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.

It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.

From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 360fluX:
First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.

Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?

Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.

- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.

- Reboot normally to system."""

I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.

Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.

Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.

No, ChromiumOS is a operating system that either replaces your default operating system or that you dual boot into. It is not simply a application that you can install.

After my G5 plus died,

I bought this phone hoping for a similar great dev community.

Trying to read through every post,it's difficult to gague which Roms are truly stable and also are ongoing in development...

Could someone please share their thoughts on what they find to be a great rom. I currently am unable to flash 5 Roma a day like I used to,so I hope that perhaps someone has and can lend me some insight..

I am happy with quirks in a rom..but what worries me is I require a few things mandatory for my life.

Bluetooth without drain (I play music at work)

Magisk (Viper sound)

Xposed

Nfc bank app payment

Modem that doesn't have absurd Signal issues

Not too many reboots in a day

No boot loops that require me to go home and use fastboot

what is everyone's thoughts..

Thank you very much
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tierniss:
Mmmmmm, almost all ROMs for Moto G5s plus has Android 9 and Xposed is not developed for it. The only ROM I know has a 8.1 version where you can use Xposed is Pixel Experience. It passes safety net and worked flawlessly. I won't lie you: I never tried Xposed on that ROM using that Android Version. If you want to, go ahead and try, maybe it works. Also you said you want to use bank payment with NFC. NFC usually works, but the issue is between Xposed and safety net... Those pals don't get along well... I tried it once using nougat and it didn't worked. I think I'm not forgetting anything! Good luck!
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] jacecrobinson:
Not too worried about safety net as I don't use Google pay and I switched to a bank that doesn't care if I'm rooted or pass safety net. (lol previous bank decided to ban rooted phones so I told them why I left) and I will be happy to go to either 8 or 9.0 as lollipop has stupid Bluetooth drain anyway.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tierniss:
It depends if you want a customizable one or a similar one to native. If you want a similar one to native the Pixel Experience(the one with Android 9) is the one for you. If you want a customizable one, I recommend you Havoc, Superior OS or AEX... They are great ROMs and offer lot of custom functionality and are very stable. Also there is people there uploading last security patches. There are other ROMs but I didn't have enough time to try them all :(. Some of them are great(very beautiful ones), but some of them are not upgraded with every month security patch or don't fix features that are working bad. I tried Pixel Experience lot of times and it worked great! Never disappointed me with big issues! About the customizable ROMs, I tried some of them for over a month and they are really cool too... It depends if you want to pass safety net... I don't remember which passes and which does not, hope this helps!
