[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
1st AnTuTu run: 452,760. GPU and CPU underperformed, especially GPU.

2nd AnTuTu run: 454,217

3rd AnTuTu run: (I disabled L Speed for this one) 455,618

4th AnTuTu run :mad: (Re-enabled L Speed since it doesn't degrade nor improve performance but I need aggressive doze): 457,822

Well, on a positive side note, this release is making me get 450,000+ MUCH more consistently (basically all the time). Unlike previous, which could drop even down to 442,000. I guess to go beyond 460,000 it takes very specific conditions that I yet don't know how to emulate. Battery is running low so I'll have to focus on a single run of Geekbench. I won't run in depth GPU tests since 598MHz was in the past and it remained that way. So I expect nothing better.

Geekbench 5:

Single: 531

Multi: 1755

This score is basically lower/on par with an Exynos 8895 overclocked to 2808Mhz big and 1898-2002MHz LITTLE cores.

What I've observed is that Big CPU doesn't boost to 2886MHz in single core. Trying to disable L Speed

Geekbench 5 Run 2:

Single:

Multi:

Edit: Upon rebooting my battery dropped from 47% to 7%. Stopping tests for today.

Edit 2: L Speed was the culprit for the CPU not boosting. I suggest everybody with a Note9 here not to use that app on this phone. The tweaks contained in L Speed DO work for old devices. However particular cases like Note9, it's better not to test on those. L Speed is a great app and it revived many of my old devices and made them smooth again. But I just never had a positive experience with it on my Note 9. My friend with his S8 though defeated records with it and a fair amount of overclock and optimizations. Phones that came out after 2018 just won't benefit from this app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
Resuming the testing.

Geekbench 5 Run 1:

Single: 725

Multi: 2247

Highest single core score I've ever reached on this Kernel. My record remains 732, on stock Samsung firmware for single core. Let's see if I can get more with another run

Geekbench 5 Run 2:

Single: 728

Multi: 2216

Note: On the multi core aspect there seems to be no improvement. However I see a slight improvement on the Single core score average. It very rarely falls below 700 now. Ykkfive has most likely tweaked the managing of the single core frequency, as I've seen 2886MHz being used much more frequently in the Single Core section. But this is still not enough. We should be seeing scores in excess of 745 in single core with a frequency of 2886MHz. But we are closing in. Rememeber that single core frequency is very important because it seems the system uses it when opening apps. And if the device uses that frequency more, app booting times will be reduced. 2496MHz and 2704MHz frequencies are still used way too much instead of 2886MHz in single core tests. Little CPUs keep capping at 1950MHz but that's my ROM's problem at this point. I just hope it won't bother me when frequencies above 1794MHz will be applied on big cores as well. I really hope so.

Geekbench 5 Run 3, last one:

Single: 733

Multi: 2252

Pretty good! However the multi core still falls short of the highest ever recorded on 9810, which is around 2350. Probably scored by a heavily throttled overclocked 9810, but we are closing in at stock big frequencies. So that's great. Let's go on. Keep in mind that L Speed is uninstalled.

AnTuTu V9, first run: 456,761

Everything performed well....except CPU, which fell short of about 5,000 points compared to its best possible performance.

AnTuTu V9, second run, last one (Battery): 459,439

Almost. Overall this Kernel release is exactly as the developer said. An improvement over the previous one, made by tweaks here and there. Nothing drastic. Therefore the performance is not too far away to be called "better" but not even the same as before. There is an improvement. That's it for today. Time to let my poor phone take a well deserved break. Considering that we started off from an Exynos 9810 that scored 370,000 on average and 410,000 in the best case scenario on stock firmware, this is definitely almost a generational leap ahead.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] daywiz:
@ykkfive : Thank you for the awesome work. Just wanted to clarify if I can flash the ROM using the latest TWRP (3.6) or do i need to downgrade (3.3.1) as mentioned as recommended version on the first page. I am currently on Dr Ketan Q18.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
it is suggested to use 3.3.1 coz it has been tested, but you may use others as well if you don encounter any problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
20211211

fuf5 and fuh1 boot.img reuploaded too, pls download it again if you have any problem before

sorry about that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] daywiz:
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. It worked perfectly on 3.6. :D, so thats a big positive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
That's good to hear. Because 3.4.0-0 has been reported to act up with this Kernel despite being a newer release than 3.3.1-0. TWRP just is never perfect, is it? Despite how much they update it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] daywiz:
You are right. I had similar apprehensions when i was on 3.6 and wanted to test run the kernel. However, it went through without a hiccup. I think there is considerable improvement on the 3.6 compared to the 3.4, but its still "occasional" luck.

Between, I am still struggling with pushing and maintaining the max freq for the Big cores above 1794. For some reason, it keeps reverting. None of the kernel managers I used so far was able to make the max freq stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
@daywiz

It's not reverting. M3 Big cores in the Exynos 9810 work differently from other Mobile CPUs.

The processor boosts to 2886MHz in single core workloads, 2314MHz in dual core and 1794MHz in tri and quad core. Any kernel manager only allows you to tune the Quad Core frequency and for now Ykkfive didn't introduce a Quad Core frequency overclock. Trying to run all 4 cores at 2886MHz is going to inevitably crash ANY Exynos 9810. Even golden samples. It was meant to run at 2314MHz in Quad Core Frequency by design but Samsung underclocked it to 1794MHz.

For now the Kernel supports Little Core overclock up to 2002MHz and undervolt to the entirety of the SoC, reducing heat output. The CPU in general has also been slightly optimized, so right now we are looking at a level of performance lower or equal to the Kirin 980. But once the Big Cores will run at above 2000MHz, we will be able to match and beat the Apple A11. And with a little more, we'll be on par with the Snapdragon 855. A GPU overclock would also help us match the G76 MP12 in an Exynos 9820. It's not that hard. All you need is a decent GPU ASV (>=4).

The Exynos 9810 has great potential. But it's going to take time to take it out on Android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
fyi

just some updates

new builds were ready with improvemenrs. however i observed some artifacts after updating the linux kernel occasionally. although it's not very often but i wanted to solve this problem before releasing it

thanks and sorry about that

when i flash no root version, it make my phone bootloop.

but after flash magisk it back to normal.

how to flash no root kernel without bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
which one you have installed?

have you installed boot.img successfully before?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] irsemoticon:
i installed both of them, and did not boot normal (boot loop at logo samsung).

but if i choose rooted version or not root and then flash magisk, it boot normal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
v2.15a?

have you installed any version before or this is the first time? just wanna know more
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
What is your ROM? As far as I am aware, some want you to have root.

Imo btw why should anybody go no root? Its a handicap. Also this Kernel passes SafetyNet. So even less of a reason
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
Don't worry. The wait will be worth it. Even if last version is great compared to stock, the room for improvement is still great. Exynos 9810 has a lot of potential. And we are coworking to bring that out on One UI 2.5, while caring about battery life.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] irsemoticon:
yeah this is my first time, my rom alexis 3.1

i use alexis 3.1

my bank apps in my country can detect that my phone rooted, i dunno how. i already hide it, and already hide magisk app by change the name apps, it still detected. so i decided to unroot it.

i think its not about safetynet pass or no, my safetynet pass but it still detected my phone as rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] TechNoobForSale:
It might be detecting the TWRP folder. Some apps rely on that for root detection.

Also great ROM choice. I have the same ROM and use the root variant of the Kernel. So I don't know if I'd bootloop as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
What's app, sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
I think maybe some apps detect USB debug option too. Try delete/ rename TWRP folder and disable USB DEBUG
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
I just passed safetynet and just it. Even not magisk hide for Netfix and watching fine @@
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
may be you can try this

before you launch the bank app, go to titanium backup and freeze magisk. after that you should be able to use your bank app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
sorry @oldman20 I misread it. it's called accubattery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amit_coolcampus:
You can try installing 3C all in one tools. Go to app editor, then services and check if its detecting magisk. You can uncheck the option. One of my banking app does that and I got it working this way.

P/s: I'm still testing v2.02. It's take much time to test. But now still have a drain battery in first day test.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
for the citibank app:

you need to apply this https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-universal-safetynet-fix-1-1-0.4217823/ in magisk, as well as magiskhide props configs, then in magiskhide section, check (select ) the whole citibank app subprocess

for the battery problem: how's battery consumption now? you may need to replace some files from ue5 ultimately

anyway, try to fix citibank app 1st. for me, it's ok (not the same citibank app as yours)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] chuyennho184:
With magisk safetynet v1.1 make my device bootloop before. Also I'd hide magisk app in setting. I know a solution to bank app working is hide magisk app by rename magisk app to another name app. Don't worry about it. Only care about battery saver.

You said "you may need to replace some files from ue5 ultimately". I don't know this sentence. Please explain detail to me. Thanks mate.

With your kernel, sometime my device have random boot. I don't have idea about your kernel or rom (Alexis rom v2.8)? So, I need test more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
well that's not looking good, i mean the battery consumption. however the 2nd and the 3rd apps in the list seem consuming a lot of battery

for replacing the files from ue5, i mean, since you are using Q16 and it's UE1 based, some of the files may not be compatible with UE5 and this could cause problems. so what i did was, extracted those related files from the original UE5 stock rom and replaced them on my phone with Q16, like build.prop etc, in order to make it look like a real UE5. so if I can make it, why cant you, rite?

but i wonder if this helps since your battery consumption seems a bit unusual

this is mine

How to activate dt2w (double tap to wake) in Alexis 2.8 rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
it should be on by default

note that you'll have to turn on display always on , i didnt know too at first

in case this is not the way you want (just like me before) and want to have dt2w with unlock, ie no need to press hard at the bottom, sorry the answer was no, that's what i got from other kernel developer. i think it can be done on the rom level as to bypass it, but yet to have time to investigate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ykkfive:
NOTE

for those using kernel manger like hktweaks, mtweaks, etc:

if you have been playing around with the cpu page and turning on and off the cpu cores before

AND

if you have saved the settings in profile, please check your profile settings in those app by clicking on the menu in the profile page and select profile details to see if you are actually running with one or more cpu cores offline

if you find in the details something like below, then you have turned off one or more cores, ie you are not running with all cores online! look for a line looks like:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/xxxxxxxxxx/cpu/cpu7/online

0 means off, so the above command will turn off core 4 in m3 (cpu 0-3 refers to the little cores, 4-7 refers to the big cores)

i have checked by command these app will actually turn off the cpu core but just do not show them properly in the app, and have problems in turning the cores back online

remedies for normal users:

- disable run at boot option and reboot (to let all cores online again)

- re-apply the settings you have made before but DON'T touch the online/offline toggles

- save as a new profile

- check the profile details again and make sure you didnt bring any of them offline before applying auto start option

OR (just found out last nite)

- click one the profile's menu, choose edit

- select those unwanted item one by one in the list, and delete

good luck! 😄

EDIT 20210804

a more aggressive gpu voltage settings is posted here awaiting a fix

BM-Kernel-v2.04m released

20210726 - v2.04m

- compatible with FUF5 (** may have problems if you use lockscreen or samsung account with possible fix here. ALWAYS do a full backup first)

- overclocked: cpu little to 2002000Mhz, gpu to 598000Mhz

- undervoltaged: cpu/memory

- support gpu under voltage

- linux upstreamed to 4.9.250

- cherry picked some kernel tweaks

- for undervolting the gpu, you may refer to my initial safe settings below and adjust them by yourself. there are still rooms to undervolt, but it is suggested you do it bit by bit, and one by one and test the new voltage before next

my apology... i will remove the link then.

which rom you are on? from what i have read most of the lockscreen problems can be fixed on the rom level . otherwise u may have to wait for samsung to release the latest sources

edit by the way you may follow the solution provided by @evdenis :

"You can reboot to TWRP, navigate to data/system and delete 3 files those names starts with 'lock'. Reboot. Login, set a new pin."

note that the solution for samsung account didnt work for me unfortunately

what a kernel, what a kernel.... I could say that for thousand times cuz this kernel work perfectly flawless for gaming, I just updated to the latest version 20211130 - v2.15a it is just working so fine than the previous one, just comparing it to my brother's Galaxy S20 FE (Snapdragon) on some game and it just perfectly working the same, I never trusted some kind of benchmarking numbers so I always put my phone to the limit as far as it go this is still going very well, even it is not over heating (I've had S8 with a beast kernel not the name tho but the kernel was wild and over power as well but it burns my hands) and im using the UAG case the shockproof one.

as for now I tested for COD Mobile, Legend of Neverlands and POKEMON UNITE but for the mmorpg one with highest settings and highest population showed it just going very well, if only I could change the thermal paste as easy as changing the thermal paste on laptop or pc my phone it will be perfect.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the developers who have build or modified this kernel you are the greatest (sorry for overly praised tho lol I was just so excited and happy about it).

anyway I wanted to ask something which kernel editor work the best? for now I use EX Kernel Manager but I used to use hktweaks but i not really like that app.

that's not too much to change atm with the exception of cpu up down ratio, which i set them with init.d instead, that help to scale up the cpu freq faster. for the freq settings etc you may refer to others and i am sure they are ready to help
