[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] OSKnight:
Yesterday I finally managed to install this kernel correctly. The first time I installed it, the only things I had otherwise were I had a different version of twrp and I didn't wipe the data before installing the kernel because I didn't know it had to be done. This time I installed the twrp version you recommended and cleared / data before installing the kernel. I don't think it was a matter of a different twrp version, but of the / data formatting. After installation, I started to check how the phone works etc. and at first glance it works smoother than on the stock kernel, today I decided to check the benchmark issue and I was a bit worried because I did the test in geekbench 5 and got worse results than on the stock kernel, in single core I got 371 points and in multi core 1171, where on average note 8 has single core at 370 and multi core at 1400, on stock kernel I got better results anyway because these were the results: single core 380 and multi core 1600, maybe the processor is good class. Could you tell me what the matter is, because I also did a test in 3dmark and there I also got much worse results than on the stock kernel, namely I only got 2108 points where on the stock kernel I got results close to 2900 points? Could it be that I didn't buy this paid version of the app and that I didn't root my phone after installing the kernel? I also noticed that disabling fast charging of the phone on this kernel does not work, I turned off this option in the settings and the phone continues to charge using fast charging, whenever I charge the phone I use standard charging for better battery life, so far I have only done one cycle per battery and i don't see any big SOT difference.

EDIT:

I rooted my phone and the benchmark results are still at the same level, still worse than on the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Yes, because it wipes the forced encryption.

Right.

This kernel uses by default Max CPU/GPU DVFS Temp 65 °C to reduce the device heat. You can buy the full version of the A2N app to set the DVFS Temp up to 100 °C to get higher scores than on stock kernel.

Because it would conflict with the built-in charger control.

The default charging current of approx. 1500 mA means no fast charging by default, even if you actually see "fast charging" in the notification section. This is also useful to reduce battery stress and device heat. To charge even with higher speed/current than on stock kernel you need to buy the full version of the A2N app.

Wait a few days, also consider that running benchmarks drains a lot of battery. Also it's not an usual daily usage pattern. Nobody runs every day benchmarks and then checks SOT.

Is that now even a wonder that root isn't improving speed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] OSKnight:
Thank you for your help. I bought a paid version of this app and set DVFS Temp to 85 degrees and the performance is better than on the stock kernel. However, to save energy, I found that I will use the balanced mode, because in this mode the phone works smoothly and I do not need anything else. Regarding the root issue, I just thought that this kernel needed root to work properly, but that's not important anymore, despite some problems with installing this kernel (I didn't know how to do it properly) i am happy with how the phone works on this kernel, and when it comes to improving the SOT, I have to use the phone a little more to see if there are any improvements. Thanks again for your help. @ace2nutzer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rtyuakatsuki:
If you starving of performance you can use 100°c or 95°c for stable hehe

Hi, sorry for my bad english. I just bought pro version 3 weeks ago.

I'm using my galaxy note as permanently home entertainment. I think it will be so cool if this kernel support x launcher ( google TV home aka android TV )

And thank you for your great job.

Oh almost forgot, download link is broken. Please fix. Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Kernel has nothing to do with launcher, but as I can see you correctly asked your request to the ROM thread.

Thanks again for reporting this DNS issue, I'll add a mirror.

For now you can download latest build from here, see attachments.

Release Info

All informations about editing your dvfs voltage table and how to apply your undervolting at boot over init.d scripts, start reading at post#3:

Q: What is the benefit of editing the voltage table ?

.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rtyuakatsuki:
Yeah that be cool but you need proper cooler tho
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rtyuakatsuki:
Of course no
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] K4RR4S:
You mean this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] K4RR4S:
I add some VGA cooler directly on phone chipset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Ohh looks nice! Is it Note8 running A2N kernel?

But he has peltier + water cooling, hehe. Anyway welcome to the hardcore overclockers A2N group. :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] K4RR4S:
Yes it is, I have installed SSD and usb TV DVB2 too :). but unfortunately I'm having trouble with android phone user interface , thats way I want android TV user interface because so simple and easy to control with bluetooth keyboard or remote control, no mouse or touch control needed. Oh I know it's a phone, but imagine you have a android tv box powered by snapdragon and 6 gigs ram! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] madhatter57:
the little core at this speed did give me a few reboots when using the phone under the sun, guess it has to do with temperature?

it did reduce the reported problem, but did not eliminate it completely. is there something else that can be done?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Nope, but with too low voltage or your SoC just can't handle it. Voltage for 2002 MHz is 1300000 uV (1300 mV), max allowed is 1400 mV. So you can try with 1350 or 1400 mV. Check post #3 how to adjust CPU voltage for little CPU.

If you can tell me how to reproduce the issue, I'll fix it 100%. And nope it's not an easy CPU governor issue like they say in the telegram group, it's audio driver bug itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Kernel && App Update !!

Changelog

Kernel V. 2022.07.01

DEX: bug fix for 3rd-party HDMI adapters

DVFS table: removed hardcoded OV for big CPU by me

Reduced power consumption for IDLE + low Freq steps (especially for Note8)

UHQ Audio: exported pm_qos_lit to userspace (to fix audio scratching)

A2N Kernel Control V. 5.0

Audio: added UHQ pm_qos_lit control (to fix audio scratching)

Version Info

If you face audio stuttering with this version you can increase the UHQ PM-QOS Freq in A2N app in "Audio" section.

If you don't have the full version, you can run a cmd like this:

su // only for termux app
cd /sys/module/abox/parameters
cat user_pm_qos_lit // check current value
echo 949000 > user_pm_qos_lit // e.g. set to 949 MHz

# To apply the change at boot, like always, copy paste the cmds to
# /system/etc/init.d/99_user without the "su" cmd of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] madhatter57:
thank you for this possibility!

to reproduce the issue you need to install jamesdsp from fox magisk module manager. After you install the module you need to manually open the zip and tap on the apk to install the app. Some people say you need "audio modification library" module as well (especially if you have viper4android also installed). After you have that going, open the app, apply a lot of effects like convolver profiles, crossfeed and reverb, and then play some music. You might hear already the bugs with the screen on, if not, turn screen off and you'll hear them. It's more prominent in the previous kernel version, in case you want to switch back to have a look. Oh, and in case the app crashes constantly on startup, cleaning dalvik cache fixed that for me.

let me know if anything is not clear

thank you very much

"S-Pen" doesn't works on "DeX Pad" and this is so sad. (ROM: DeluxeROM v32)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] canka591:
Any progress for Android 10 version? @ace2nutzer

I can change my version to android 9 even to use this kernel, but I have many applications.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
1. Tell me the exact device model of this Dex Pad.

2. S-Pen works on the phone itself ?

3. Test how it works with the stock Samsung kernel and report it here please.

Download Note8 Samsung stock kernel

This kernel is only for "9" and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Illutorium:
1. "EE-M5100"

2. Yes

3. I could be think then are be also find it about when nothing difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Please flash the stock kernel from the link I've sent you and see if s-pen works on your dex pad. Just flash it over a2n kernel, no need to wipe anything. Later you can flash again a2n kernel and then magisk, also without to wipe anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] independent31:
hi. i have a problem. for using this kernel when flashing stock rom by odin then flash twrp. i couldnt see my storage on twrp (0 mb error) if i change my file system or format data. i can see, but this time i need again flash stock rom for opening phone (n950x), i couldnt see storage again . i need help @ace2nutzer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] independent31:
i solve but 10 dolar expensive for non-europe countries mate thx for waste of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
I don't know what you smoke, but 10$ is still cheaper than buying a new phone.

Hi Dev I was planning about but note 8 at good price is about 100$ hehe and i have question about how far about OC
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
It's the same kernel like for S8.

Also your A2N app will work with the Note8 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rtyuakatsuki:
okeyy dev when the phone good to buy i will try for the note 8 at stock cooling and nver modded and after that modding abaout thermal paste and for direct cooling i cant because i am poor hehe i am luc find the phone at facebook market place and near at my home
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Please test kernel p1, p2 and p3 with DEXPAD.

I think one of them should work.

Please test all three kernels and post if DEXPAD worked or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Illutorium:
All of three are be so now Finally works around.

Watching those updates comes up puts me in physical pain bcz im in android 10 hades rom 😭
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
I'm sorry for that, but this is how real-life works, we can't have everything.

I can feel your pain, but it's a taste thing. You can decide yourself to stay on newer Android version or to go back to stock ROM and using this powerful custom kernel. 🤷‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] canka591:
I wonder why this kernel is not available for Android 10? I don't know much about these things, but for Android 10 corsi shared the following source code (https://github.com/corsicanu/android_kernel_samsung_universal8895/tree/10)

Is this an old source code? Or is it not a kernel code for Android 10? Or can't these features be added with the necessary tools to make a kernel?

I just need higher CPU/GPU frequency and voltage tuning features (on android 10 hades rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Because I've only one S8 device with the stock ROM Android 9 using my kernel and this is my main phone. I don't want to upload a kernel without to have it tested by myself. Anyway I'm willing to allow any other ROM dev to use this kernel by default or to provide it as a choice in aroma installer in his ROM, but i've only one condition and for that, the dev need to send me a pm to discuss how we can work together. I've also some know how to improve the performance of any ROM. So you need to ask your ROM dev first.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] canka591:
Do you know how I can improve the rom I'm using?

If you want to do an experimental study and make a kernel that you can offer to Android 10 users, I am ready to help.

A lot of people are using the android 10 version made by corsi, and it only has its own kernel (it's a smooth kernel but not much customization options) I think you can release an experimental version for us enthusiasts, me and other friends will be grateful to try it.

Hi,

Could you please tell me what Hotfix 53 stands for because I wonder if it is safe to upgrade to the latest kernel version, currently I have the version from August? Yesterday I wanted to do a kernel update before you even uploaded this version from Hotfix 53 but I found that since there is a fix there may be some bugs. What is error 53 about? Thank you for your response.

i think its better use stock rom with android 9 bro more save power and more performance

and spend little money to dev is totally worth it like 10 euro or 8 dollar you can get feel new phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rtyuakatsuki:
that would be nice bro you can try it build from dev work start because this kernel developed in s8 and s8 plus has been took almost 5 year testing and improvement

here i have some performance test in s8 plus g955n 6/128

the setup just using charger and fridge freezer

2.8 ghz big

2ghz litlle

839 mhz gpu

dvfs 100 c

i can get performance more then note 9

NOTE 9 !! maybe you can try test it with stock android 9

or some debloat stock rom android 9.

.

.

and for everyone who use this kernel and buy the app control is better to test how much you get and how can the note 8 control those high freq cpu

and high freq GPU with 20 CORE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] canka591:
That's great, but unfortunately my whole setup is built on android 10 so I can't go back, maybe the developer will make a new version for us when they have free time. By the way, what is the name of the program that shows the frequency, temperature and fps?
