Hi:
I open this thread in order to provide in one post all our SGSII current kernel, where you can download each of them. To discuss and talk about them used the wires and opened thread please. I will update as it exits new versions.
THANKS FOR ALL COOKS
Although he put in each kernel, how to load a kernel based on their extension usually is:
- TAR: It flashes by Odin or with the option Flash Kernel from CWM app.
- ZIP: It flashes from the Recovery menu.
If you see a broken link, want to add or delete some kernel or whatever, send me a PM or leave a message here. Thank you.
It is very difficult to recommend a specific kernel it does not behave the same way in each SGSII. It is best to try and stay with the one you like and suits your needs.

Author's notes:
+ Root
Kernel comes "instant rooted", after flashing this kernel your system is completely rooted (su, busybox and the Superuser app).
Nothing more needs to be done, totally newb friendly
+ ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4
This kernel also comes with the ClockworkMod recovery instead of the original stock one.
+ ADB with root priv's in recovery mode
When booted into recovery mode you have ADB available to connect to from your PC.
ADB also runns with full root priv's in recovery mode for all your haxx'n'tinker needs (in normally booted OS mode ADB still runns "secure" with only user priv's, use su to get root there)
+ Custom boot scripts
There is some bootscripts you can put your own commands in for being executed during boot.
The scripts are /system/bootrc.sh and /data/bootrc.sh.
+ Additional modules natively supported and loaded on boot
The original plan was to integrate these into the kernel, but due to hitting size limits of the zImage I decided to have them loaded from external directories.
Currently supported modules: (these modules are compiled together with the kernel and are included in the download!)
- slow-work.ko (not needed on Android 2.3.4 FWs, like XXKG2, e.t.c.)
- cifs.ko
If these modules are present in either /system/lib/modules or /data/lib/modules they will be automatically loaded at boot and are available to use (for example in case of CIFS, just get CifsManager from the marketplace and start mounting your shares)
+ Custom Bootanimation and Bootsound
This kernel also supports using a custom bootanim (bootanimation.zip) and bootsound (PowerOn.wav).
To install, simply create a folder "import" on in your /sdcard and drop your files into it, i.e.:
/sdcard/import/bootanimation.zip -> for bootanimation
/sdcard/import/PowerOn.way -> for bootsound
If either one of those is present upon the next boot they will automatically be installed to the correct path and be available.
+ Custom Boot-LOGO !
This let's you change the logo shown BEFORE the bootanimation (usually the "Samsung Galaxy SII" splash screen).
Similar to the bootanim and -sound, copy the desired logo.jpg (480x800, max. 100k) to:
/sdcard/import/logo.jpg
Upon the next boot the new bootlogo will be installed!
Please read the additional note about installing a new bootlogo bellow!
+ BLN support
This kernel has BLN (=BackLight Notification) support!
Just install the BLN Pro App from the market (to actually use/get the notification lights you need the paid version, the free version only lets you test if BLN works propperly) and off your blinkieness goes
+ Touchscreen Sensitivity Fix
vitalij's touchscreen fix to make the touch more responsive again when performing movements on the screen.

- Date: 15/07/11
- SetCPU: Yes
- OC: 1.400
- UV: Between 800 and 1400mV
- BLN: Yes
- Bootanimation: Yes
Author's notes:
My new kernel!
Will come in two flavours:
- U1 - based on Samsung Update1
- U2 - based on Samsung Update2 - not released yet.
Features:
- support for SetCPU OC (upto 1400MHz)
- UV between 800mV and 1400mV
- support for Boot Animation
- support for BLN
The goal of my first kernel was to take the battery savings gained from HardCORE's kernel and allow undervolting and underclocking to further improve battery life. I added Boot Animation and BLN support just because I could. This kernel adds to my previous kernels, taking bits and pieces from here and there also.
Thanks also to the authors of Ninphetamine kernel - their SetCPU supporting code was the basis for the SetCPU support in this kernel, I have also used BLN code from their Git Repository, thanks to creams.

Author's notes
Netchip´s kernel was terribly, there where thousand and one bugs.
Such max overclock to 1400 MHz, no GPU overclocking, bad scripts.
Scripts who works not, it was one big drama.
But it was also great, light, quick, not one fancy kernel.
And here I come to introduce my new kernel .
It is not a big drama, it is super, fixed some bugs by Samsung, CPU overclocking to 1.6 GHz, GPU overclocking, BFQ v2-r1, BLN, bootlogo, bootanimation and much more in the future .
I am inspired by Hacre, Chainfire and HellcatDroid.
Hellcat is very kind, and helps me with ex. the compile issue.
Also Hacre was nice together me, ex. the CPU overclocking code.
But now further on the kernel, the features
-Bootanimation support, place it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-Bootlogo, place it in /sdcard/getin, and give it the name, logo.png
-CPU overclocking till 1.6GHz
-GPU overclocking
-BFQ v2-r1
-Removed other schedulers
-Instant root
-Busybox
-Clockworkmod 5
-KI3 initramfs
-I use the "hidden" p12 partition as tmp, so if bootlogo dont work, lemme fix it
-Compiled with AOSP 4.4.0 toolchain
-BLN
-Init.d support - /system/etc/init.d/
-EFS backup script
-Touchscreenfix set to 5 - thanks to vitalij
It is newb friendly, you can flash it via Odin, and all is installed
Thus flash it via Odin!

Great thread, but do anyone has the link to download a clockwork mod.apk?? My current rom does not come with the cwm app and I have to flash using odin only. Much thanks for whoever's help in advance.
Its not the ROM that supports CWM but the kernel. You have not given any details but how did you root your device. If you rooted it you should have CWM. Use chainfires kernel for the rom version you have and you will get the cwm pkg as well as root.
Ofcourse you have to flash it using odin. I hope you know how.

I've never flashed kernel before rooting. Anyway, you can flash a kernel via odin (in PDA) and you will be the CWM.

Great thread for beginners here - thx
Onequestion:
I plan to go from a stock, untouched i9100 to villainrom:
Is this the way to do it?:
- get and flash CF-root kernel to get root and CWM
- then flash ninphetamine 2.1.3 via CWM to be able to use my GLAS-protector
- download and flash villainrom 2.04 via CWM
Good plan? bad plan?
thx for help!

How to build Semaphore kernel
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Linux is required to be able to build the kernel. We will also need a modern Linux box (preferably).
Basic Setup
First, we need to setup a directory in which we will clone the kernel and initramfs repositories. In this guide, we will setup them in /tmp but you can do it in any directory you want.
In a terminal we run:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/semaphore
cd /tmp/semaphore
Then we clone the basic kernel repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/samsung-kernel-aries
Finally we clone the initramfs repository:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/ics-ramdisk
OK, first step done. We got the code. Now we have to do some preparation and compile it.
Configuration
I prefer to use a mini ugly script to compile the kernel and pack it. It's located in the root of the kernel tree (/tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/sbuild.sh)
We open this file with an editor of our choice (I prefer vi) and edit:
1) The two lines with the 'make' command, changing the CROSS_COMPILE= option. We need to set the path from the cross compiler toolchain. I use the one that it's included in CM9 repository.
2) The line starting with the 'find' command, changing the kernel source directory and destination directory of the modules location. This is into the initramfs directory. In our example it's /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/files/modules
The Semaphore's kernel configuration is located in the file config_sema in the root kernel directory. So, we need to copy this file as .config:
Code:
cp config_sema .config
Then we run this command to start the Linux kernel configuration utility (again change the CROSS_COMPILE according to your toolchain directory):
Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=/kernels/semaphore_cap/android/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- ARCH=arm menuconfig
We go to 'General Setup' section and we change the 'Initramfs source files' option to /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/
We also need to change the next 2 options User ID and Group ID to whatever uid and gid we are logged in in the Linux box. In my case is 500,500. We exit and save the configuration.
Compiling
Now we are ready to build the kernel!
We just run:
Code:
./sbuild.sh
We wait few minutes (time depends on the machine) and hopefully the compilation will end.
The script will produce 2 files.
1) /tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2) /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/cwm/Semaphore_ICS_1.2.0s.zip
These are the 2 known files that we can flash via Heimdal or CWM respectively.
just flasshing
Nice.Finally.

w00t, nice job Semaphore
Now on ICS ^^
thanks for the hard work!
Simply flashtastic!!! I was missing you on ics...
Enviado de mi puño y letra
i get bootloop grgrgr someelse? or maybe some restart by script manager? idk testing..
Works ok.

Semaphore Script Manager application is not bundled in the kernel (not yet).
I'm on teamhacksung's CM9. I didn't test it on Onecosmic's ICS.

I really don't know. I think that the pawitp's color hacks is fine.
I just want to stabilize this first. Features from Semaphore GB version will be added one by one and if there is a need for this. Lot's of features are already included by pawitp's kernel.
Re
This is just what i was waiting for... downloading now i feel like trolling everywhere out of happiness
No prob. mate! Take your time. We all love your work & Kernel!!
I also think that it's no need for voodoo colour.
This colours looks very good.

Awesome, will try on build 15 right away - loaded and everything seems ok.
first impression is: great color and contrast! it's like I have 3d on my sgs now!
wifi ok, 3g ok (switches really fast, great), calling ok, sensors ok (for dialer), gps ok, whatsapp, gmail.
thank you very much!
Hi
IMPORTANT: Before you continue reading!
At the moment this kernel is only for PrimoU devices
and NOT for PrimoC (CDMA) devices
IMPORTANT for CM users
If you want to use CM or a CM based ROM choose the correct kernel!
CM9 needs a different ramdisk.
With the permission from Adi_Pat I would like to announce my kernel build
All credits to this should go to Adi_Pat cause he did the hard work for
providing me with all I need. Therefore also the name has been
choosen to make this clearly visible.
This is just a first announcement.
I will upload the first image tonight
Principle #1:
Provide a kernel that is as close to stock as possible but provides
additional features that will improve functionality and/or performance
Some Q&A you might have
Q: what stands KISS for?
A: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
My aim is to provide a kernel that is 99.99% stock with just additional features
In the first build you will see
-OC (max 1.5)
-UV
-2 new goveners (lionheart, smartassV2)
-1 new scheduler (sio)
Q:will you provide a kernel with 2.0GHz?
A:No - since I want to provide a stable kernel and
my experiences showed that only using up to 1.5 is reliable
If you like to have higher frequencies you can
1) use Adi_Pats kernel
2) build your own kernel based on my changes and enable higher frequencies
Q:can I build my own kernel based on your changes?
A:sure. I will provide a patch file that can be applied on the original
sources provided from HTC
Q:how "close" is your kernel to stock?
A:actually if you dont use OC, UV and use govener=ondemand and
scheduler=deadline this IS stock kernel
Q:can you include feature "xy" in your build?
A:I will check and if it is not "against" principle #1 -Yes
Q:will you test your kernel builds?
A:yes. I will only provide images that have been tested to
1) boot without problems
2) have run through a basic test trying to include all important features
3) run some benchmarks to confirm that changes are not decreasing basic performance values
Q:how to install your kernel?
A:like titanium kernel
fastboot flash boot
regards
max
I provide a complete folder with all downloads
please look at the following "naming conventions" for selecting
the correct image for your ROM!
Images containing "OC-UV" will have presets
Images containing "CM9" are for CM9
Images containing "CM10" are for CM10
All others are for stock (sense) ROMs

You can also find this in
Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Kernel Version
Just some notes on the govener and schedulers:
Stock kernel is using govener ondemand and scheduler deadline
To get more information about all of those see here

To create the KISS sources apply the patch supplied with each build
Other Downloads:
Note:
If you download save or edit those scripts on a windows host make sure that
you are not changing the line endings to be DOS "style" (CR/LF) since they will
not work on your device.
So before pushing them to the device check with e.g. notepad++ or any
other windows editor that the line endings are UNIX "style" (LF)
USB host scripts
Contains helper scripts for USB host mode
Flashable from recovery

Use only CPUFreq and use smartAssV2 as it has both sleep and wake freqs...UV -50 should be good!
Hi
Actually there are a lot of things that you can tweak in the goveners
using the sys interface to make them perform best under certain "preconditions"
You can read this here which I also posted in the Adi_Pat thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
This will give you some great insights on this issue.
Also about the "decision" which govener to use a.s.o
Regarding UV:
As already writen above -50 should be safe all the time
-100 works for me if I limit it to max 1.2GHz but not higher
Then I sometimes have freezes e.g. runnung AnTuTu benchmark
I still have to play with the UV settings to find the optimal ones
Regards
max
Hi
ATTENTION!!!!
Dont use sio I/O scheduler at the moment!!!!
I just discovered some strange during testing.
Stay with deadline this is stock
Will keep you informed if sio is really the reason
If it is it will be removed in next build
regards
max
EDIT: Even intensive testing has not given me the proof that the
sio scheduler was the reason.

Just like for CM9&CM10&CM10.1, I started making a CM10.2/JB4.3 kernel. The philosophy is the same: stock plus a few extras
This kernel is based on my CM10.1 Mackay kernel, updated using upstream patches from CM10.2
Thanks to all SGS-CM-kernel developers (pawitp, stratosk, DerTeufel, Glitch, mialwe, krarvind), I learned a lot from all of you!

On other roms, install the kernel, reboot, open /data/local/mackay/bln/recovery/navbar and change the 0 for 1. Then reboot:
bln (set to 1) BLN will be activated
navbar (set to 1) navbar will be activated
As an alternative, Bejda developed a script for Mackay settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41729828&postcount=953
bootable/recovery:
-Mackay recovery (based on TWRP 2.6.3.0)
TWRP:
-Themed orange
-Run recovery-apps (zip files should be present in /system/mackay, launch them through advanced->run app)
Source code: https://github.com/kasperhettinga/samsung-kernel-aries/commits/mackay-cm102
This is a freshly started project. Ideas for improvements/additions are welcome but:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself

This version can only be used on JB4.3-based ROMs
Kernel for switching internal & external SD
Because vold.fstab is no longer used and has been integrated in fstab.aries (which can only be changed before compiling the kernel, as it ends up in the ramdisk), I made a special kernel version with switched SD cards:

The cause of the slow boot is the complicated ramdisk with two recoveries that need to be extracted at every boot.

Just tried , same thing happens on CyanAOSP 4.3 too. Devil and CM kernel works fine.
That is really odd, because it does work fine on both my own ROM and CM10.2 :S
I also tried building my own Carbon ROM, and also there it did boot fine.
But I will take a look whether I can find something...
Just like for CM9&CM10&CM10.1&CM10.2, I started making a CM11.0/KK4.4 kernel. The philosophy is the same: stock plus quite a few extras
This kernel is based on my CM10.2 Mackay kernel, updated using upstream patches from CM11.0
Thanks to all SGS-CM-kernel developers (pawitp, stratosk, DerTeufel, Glitch, mialwe, krarvind), I learned a lot from all of you!
Separate bigmem libs for other kernels:

This is a freshly started project. Ideas for improvements/additions are welcome but:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Credits:
-teamhacksung/pawitp for making CyanogenMod work on our ancient phone
-stratosk/DerTeufel/Mialwe for the inspiration I got from their kernels
-rootax for providing a high-speed server for high quality downloads
I will not build this kernel for other devices. Instructions to port the kernel or build it yourself:

Hi Kasper_h,
I cannot flash your kernel "Mackay_kernel_0.600_cwm_CMC-signed.zip" but this "Mackay_kernel_0.600_cwm_VC-signed.zip" works fine
Many thanks.

You probably get a get.prop error with the cwm_CMC version? That is the only kernel flavour where I didn't fix the script yet. I am now at work, so I can't change it from here. If you have e.g. 7zip, you can copy the updater-script from the VC kernel to the CMC kernel and then it can be flashed.
Hi kasper_h, can we have an I9000B version of your job? That would be great! Thanks.

great works bro one more option for our device, just a suggestion that you make a change log update right on the first post then update it there so it will be more convenient for people to see them later on
@emre3461 how would you compile a version for aosp?

Okay, i will make clean kernel. I am using ale95 v2 with CyanKernel v1.0.3 . I didn't face any random reboot or hang. I am working for clean, powerfull kernel. I don't recommend use 2 GHz for now. Use powersave governor or reduce max freq. Can you suggest some useful governer for our device ?
