[KERNEL][I9000B] Semaphore JB 3.0 (I9000-B only) - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

This is stratosk's Semaphore JB kernel compiled for the GT-I9000B (Latin america variant of the I9000). Stratosk doesn't support this variant, so cronot tweaked the build to make this excellent kernel work for the I9000B variant. He now moved on to another phone so he has stopped working on this build, but not before handing it over to me - so I will now be building this kernel, at least for as long as stratosk does
With that said, here comes the disclaimer: By flashing this kernel, you accept that it comes without any support, neither mine and even less so from stratosk, since he doesn't support this variant on his own releases. So please don't bother him with support questions regarding this specific build. IOW: you'll use this kernel at your own risk.
There were reports of data loss during testing on early builds of the 2.8.x (kernel for Android 4.2) series - there were no more bad reports on later versions, but this needs to be said: Always do a nandroid backup before installing or updating any of the kernels posted here. I won't be held responsible if you lose data while using these kernels!
I *may* be able to help depending on whatever problems you might have, but don't expect timely answers, or any answers at all if I'm not technically able to figure out your problem - I'm a beginner on kernel development, all I did with this really was just some slight tunings and then recompile it for the I9000B. Also, I'm doing this on my free time, which is not much these days, so for now I'm just going to focus on following stratosk builds and recompile them for the I9000B as they come. I can say though, as far as problems, I don't have any with it on my device - it works fine and fast for me.
Now, on to the goodness:
This kernel is exactly the same as stratosk builds (hence, the exact same features and changelogs, including compiler versions and configuration), but with the following modifications:
Swap enabled;
ZRAM enabled as module (To configure it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management);
KSM support enabled (Disabled on system by default, to enable it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management)
Note about build version 2.7.0
Stratosk is no longer maintaining the 2.6.x builds that are meant for Android 4.1. But cronot was using Android 4.1 before he sold his SGS, and looking at some of the latest 2.9.0 features he felt like having some of its features on the 2.6.x builds, and so he did it. Since there are quite some important changes he thought it would be better to bump the version number to 2.7.0. Do note though that I provide this kernel here only as a convenience, I won't be supporting this version because I'll be compiling, testing and using only the kernels for Android 4.2, like stratosk does.
The 2.7.0 build contains the following cherry-picks from 2.9.0:
Reduce number of frame buffers for more RAM (on my ex-SGS I'm now at 383Mb, up from 377Mb);
Updated Interactive governor;
ROW I/O Scheduler
Known issues
None, as far as I know - feedback is always welcome!
What works
Everything, as far as I could see.
Usage
Just flash it on CWM like any other kernel. Normal version and 's' version are provided just like on stratosk's release. Use the Semaphore Manager app on Google Play, from stratosk, to setup the kernel features.
All instructions and documentation from stratosk's original Semaphore kernel applies to this one, so look into his own thread for more information.

Personnel who are having problems with BLN, just install this app and activate BLN will work.

Thank you so much ! I want to try Semaphore but never work on my I9000B
PS: With Bigmem I can't record on 720p but I've read that it's fixed, I'm wrong ?

Sorry, I don't want to bother you, each phone is different.
By the way I'm using CM10.1 (20130124), I'll try again.
EDIT: I saw this on the Semaphore thread...
Please note that there are 2 variations:
Normal versions: for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 384MB - 396MB
's' versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration, available RAM 397MB - 409MB
So, I'm using the normal version and everything works fine
PS: can I use the default CM10.1 performance menu or this kernel uses the Semaphore manager only ?

Yes you can, I am currently in SlimRom compiled by myself, so I said this all working.

Tried 2.9.8b, everything works good but I get an error everytime I try to flash a rom that does not have Semaphore 2.9.8b.

What is the error?

Hello, I would like to know if I can use this kernel in a normal GT-I9000, the international version, because I'm interested in ZRAM and KSM.
What is the special compilation for the B version?

If you use the normal kernel on the I9000B the touchscreen doesn't work, but it has the same features, you can download the I9000 kernel from the official site.

It is a generic error, like "get build.prop failed". I always get that when trying to flash a I9000 ROM or a corrupt archive.
I can't really type the error now, it is big, and I've rolled back to 2.9.7b

-- DEPECATED -- DEPECATED -- DEPECATED -- DEPECATED -- DEPECATED --
Please follow this link to the new thread for the Semaphore Kernel for the I9000B, now maintained by rubervalrfl. This thread and builds herein are now deprecated and kept here for historical purposes only. Thanks for your support!

This is stratosk's Semaphore JB kernel compiled for the GT-I9000B (Latin america variant of the I9000). Stratosk doesn't support this variant, and being an owner of this device, I thought I'd share my efforts on compiling his excellent kernel for the I9000B variant.
With that said, here comes the disclaimer: By flashing this kernel, you accept that it comes without any support, neither mine and even less so from stratosk, since he doesn't support this variant on his own releases. So please don't bother him with support questions regarding this specific build. IOW: you'll use this kernel at your own risk.
There were reports of data loss during testing on early builds of the 2.8.x (kernel for Android 4.2) series - there were no more bad reports on later versions, but this needs to be said: Always do a nandroid backup before installing or updating any of the kernels posted here. I won't be held responsible if you lose data while using these kernels!
I *may* be able to help depending on whatever problems you might have, but don't expect timely answers, or any answers at all if I'm not technically able to figure out your problem - I'm a beginner on kernel development, all I did with this really was just some slight tunings and then recompile it for the I9000B. Also, I'm doing this on my free time, which is not much these days, so for now I'm just going to focus on following stratosk builds and recompile them for the I9000B as they come. I can say though, as far as problems, I don't have any with it on my device - it works fine and fast for me, at least the builds prior to 2.8.x, i.e.: kernels for Android 4.1 - I don't use Android 4.2 (yet) and hence I haven't / don't test the 2.8.+ builds myself - I rely on rubervalrfl's report for this; if the kernel boots without problems or data loss for him, then I deem it stable enough for release. Hence the glaring warning above about backups.
Now, on to the goodness:
This kernel is exactly the same as stratosk builds (hence, the exact same features and changelogs, including compiler versions and configuration), but with the following modifications:
Swap enabled;
ZRAM enabled as module (To configure it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management);
KSM support enabled (Disabled on system by default, to enable it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management)
Note about build version 2.7.0
Stratosk is no longer maintaining the 2.6.x builds that are meant for Android 4.1. But I was using Android 4.1 before I sold my SGS (yeah, I'll soon be retiring from compiling this kernel, read recent posts on this thread for more information), and looking at some of the latest 2.9.0 features I felt like having some of its features on the 2.6.x builds, and so I did it. Those features are really just some cherry-picks from Stratosk's 2.9.0 branch on his repository, so all credits to him, as always. Since there are quite some important changes I thought it would be better to bump the version number to 2.7.0 - I suppose it shouldn't be a problem to anyone, since the original 2.6.x builds are no longer maintained anyway, and it still sets it apart from the newer 2.8/2.9 builds. The 2.7.0 build contains the following cherry-picks from 2.9.0:
Reduce number of frame buffers for more RAM (on my ex-SGS I'm now at 383Mb, up from 377Mb);
Updated Interactive governor;
ROW I/O Scheduler
Known issues
The kernels posted here are compiled exclusively with BLN support, whereas stratosk's put out a 2.6.5 version with CM LED support. I haven't built versions with CM LED support because they simply didn't work on my own testing - the LEDs wouldn't light up at all with it, which effectively broke LED notification for the I9000B. Because of that my builds are compiled exclusively with BLN, which at least lights up the LEDs for notifications.
Blinking LEDs with BLN doesn't work (?) - they just keep alight: I'm still not sure why, although I suspect it may be something specific to my own phone because it doesn't work on DerTeufel's Hellybean kernel either. Feedback is welcome on this (let me know if it does in fact work for you). I've read in a few places that that's how it's actually supposed to work (blinking only actually works with the BLN Control App, "Pro" version), but I'm still not sure, so PLEASE DO GIVE A LITTLE FEEDBACK, PEOPLE!
What works
Everything else, as far as I could see.
Usage
Just flash it on CWM like any other kernel. Normal version and 's' version are provided just like on stratosk's release. Use the Semaphore Manager app on Google Play, from stratosk, to setup the kernel features.

rubervalrfl, for testing the 2.8.0 version. If you want a 4.2 ROM for the I9000B to go with the 2.8.+ kernels, check out his CM10.1 Preview for the I9000B over here.
I'm sooooooo happy
Work on 4.2?
I don't think so.
I think just devil works on it

I haven't tested, so feel free to. If stratosk's release works on it, then this most likely will too. I'm not a "bleeding-edge" kind of guy, though - I've upgraded to CM10 only a couple weeks ago (from CM7), and I see many other kernels don't yet work with 4.2, and if the other kernel devs around here are anything like me, they're probably not going to bother getting their kernels working on 4.2 until CM10.1 gets out of alpha status, since most kernels around here are derived or use parts of the CM kernel, and CM is the most popular Android anyway.
Thanks for this, cronot.
I'm happy that I9000B users can have Semaphore kernel.
Although, I can't official support I9000B, due to lack of free time, I'll do my best for any help.

Thanks for your support, Stratos
I still hope your help isn't needed specifically with my build, though. You've already got your hands full with your own releases Apart from the Known Issues list on the OP, I have no problems at all with your kernel, it's working really nice! The only problem I would report for 2.6.0 is something that's mentioned here in your thread (hence, not something specific to my build), about some stuttering during video recording - I do have some of those too (although when the record is played back, there's no stutter, so I figure the problem is only in preview), but I'm not sure if this problem started on 2.6.0 or if I had it before and didn't notice - I'd have to rollback to 2.5.0 and take a look, but then I'd have to rebuild that version also since I've deleted the previous version, and I can't spare the time to do it right now; I'll post back on your thread once I can confirm this.
Thanks! , i will install it to give feedback
My congratulations, sent a mp for you.
Nice to see new kernels around here! thanks!! .
This kernel is awesome! The best I've tested in my i9000b !!!
Any chance of a version designed for Android 4.2 ?
wanna know if us is gonna get semaphone for 4.2
@Gurx & @Dimabr10:
Check the OP.
Thanks! We're here to help! Take a look at my website for a fresh version updated for I9000B.
@cronot thanks!!!
I'll test this kernel with some 4.2 version.. Maybe the one from @rubervalrfl !! But I only can do that at night, I'm at my work now....
Thanks!
i'll be glad in receive feedback for my port ROM for i9000B on site.
There is a updated from 12/03/12 cyano's repo version there.
OMG thanks alot

<DISCONTINUED>[SC-02B][CM-10.1_PATCH]Howto install I9000 CM-10.1 ROM to GS1 NTT Japan
WARNING!! For SC-02B Galaxy S1 NTT-Docomo Japan only...
Basically this patch is original work by HiroyukiIkezoe (hiikezoe) on his kernel. I just apply his codes & try to compile it.
Since I don't know how to unpack & repack boot.img on cm-10.1, I use stratosk ramdisk with some modification to suite my needs. I failed to clone & fork it, maybe because too big, so I download it as zip file, make some changes & push it to github with smaller size.
First install from stock rom:
A. Install CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip with odin. Read about how to get odin and using it from
SC-02B Root, Latest Firmware, CWM & Compatible ROMs by IparryU
B. Edit build.prop file from root explorer or similar function, change SC-02B to GT-I9000
before:
Code:
ro.product.model=SC-02B
ro.product.name=SC-02B
ro.product.device=SC-02B
ro.product.board=SC-02B
ro.build.product=SC-02B
after
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
ro.product.name=GT-I9000
ro.product.device=GT-I9000
ro.product.board=GT-I9000
ro.build.product=GT-I9000
C. Get a CM-10.1 rom & install instruction from [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S thread.
D. Download & install LL1 Modem
E. Download & install this 3 files:
1. Kernel: nutest_sc02b-mMdD.zip or stock/mackay/semaphore unofficial ports from Download Link
2. LL1 GPS and RIL binaries
3. JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip by kasper_h
F. Reboot and go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile networks > Network operators & Choose automatically
G. Edit build.prop file from
Code:
ro.telephony.ril_class=SamsungExynos3RIL
to
Code:
ro.telephony.ril_class=RIL
H. Reboot your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update or install any CM-10.1 based rom:
1. Read the rom thread for download info & install guide, like step C. Don't install rom with original partition, since the kernel didn't support it!
2. Repeat E, F, G & H steps.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Troubleshoot:
For baseband unknown, no network and data not connected try this steps:
- Turn off data.
- Turn on Airplane Mode from setting menu.
- Reboot.
- Wait 1-2 minutes after bootanimation end, then turn off Airplane Mode.
Known Bugs:
1. Airplane Mode on-off toggle often not work.
2. GPS takes too long time before lock with poor accuracy.
3. Charging when phone switched off didn't show the battery indicator correctly. Read this for detail. Fixed in 20130606 release and after.
Unofficial Kernel Ports:
I add various kernel based on i9000 version, read about the feature or change logs on it's original thread but don't report any bugs (except you can prove it happened in original version)!!!
>> Stock cm-10.1 kernel
file: cm-10.1-sc02b-kernel-yyyymmdd.zip
Finally (May 2013) I found proper way to unpack stock kernel using this kernel-repack and repack again using a part of script from here
It's not real stock, but I think close enough to the origin. You may need revert the bigmem patch by install this if you have problem with video capture/playback function.
sc02b changes: stock-cm branch
>> Semaphore kernel ("s" variant only)
file: Semaphore_JB_<version>sj.zip
info: original thread
sc02b changes: sema branch
>> Mackay kernel ("vc" flavour only)

I was wondering if there was a way to get ram like kyapa's kernel but have a deeper look in the ram with an app called memory info and swapcheck I realized...
t10mod3
total ram-504mb
swap total-160mb
didhiy's kernel
total ram-408mb
swap total-0mb
since swap memory is available if we get space on sd card I think didhiy's kernel got more ram than t10mod3, am I right!?
u can check it by your self with this app!
thanks for the good work and updates in this kernel didhiy!

I was wondering if there was a way to get ram like kyapa's kernel but have a deeper look in the ram with an app called memory info and swapcheck I realized...
t10mod3
total ram-504mb
swap total-160mb
didhiy's kernel
total ram-408mb
swap total-0mb
since swap memory is available if we get space on sd card I think didhiy's kernel got more ram than t10mod3, am I right!?
u can check it by your self with this app!
thanks for the good work and updates in this kernel didhiy!

can you refer me to the kernel source? I knew kyapa kernel based on talon kernel, but not that much ram as I remember
about swap, I decide to disable it I already push all my work to github so everyone can test another config to try
semaphore kernel thread have useful guide to build a kernel, I used it as reference.

Talonの最新版ソースを元にSC-02B用に手を加えたものです。
odinで焼き終わったあと再起動が2~3度繰り返され、EXT4へのコンバートが始まると思います。
また専用アプリもT101シリーズで動作するように変更してあります。(こちらはカーネルを焼けば自動的にインストールされます)
Superuser.apkはマーケットよりダウンロードしてください。
Superuserをインストールしたあとbusyboxなども入れるなら入れてください。
その後再起動で、zram反映されます。
その他は試行錯誤してみてください。

the last url is the source!
that's the one I knew I've a build for LC4 stock with that source, but never check the ram size.
maybe something similar on devil kernel which use all camera memory to reach bigger ram
I've plan to build semaphore, mackay & devil kernel for sc-02b...
semaphore already done & works, will post it later

[ROM][ICS][STOCK] sediROM - non-dev discussion thread

.
.
.
sediROM - or why I created a new ROM based on the good old ("ancient") ICS
.
.
.
Long story short. The following list are my requirements to a custom ROM:
I need my phone everyday so I need to resist that it is working everyday (means rock stable).
I do NOT need the latest available Android version.
I WANT to have the other components (like Kernel etc) up to date.
I REALLY REALLY need headset profiles for my bluetooth devices (Jabra, Nokia and Plantronics)
I need root access, of course.
I want to get the best battery life possible.
GB is too old for me.
Stock ROM is "too stock" for me.
I have tried all available captivate ROMs starting from ICS over Jelly Bean to KitKat.
Android < v4.x are too old for my requirements. Several features missing and well it even LOOKS old..
Android >= v4.1 are working well with the Glide but there is 1 main killer function which is completely broken since Android 4.1: Bluetooth Headset Profiles
(The Bluetooth stack was completely re-developed in 4.1)
The version which is the best compromise of beeing fresh enough - but working like a charm is Android v4.0.4 (ICS)
The problem is.. there is no ICS based ROM out there which completely fullfill ALL my requirements.
So I thought it is time for me to create my own daily-use feature-complete and rock stable ROM for the Samsung Captivate Glide / SGH - I927..
IMO the best working and best battery saving ROM for the Glide is PACMAN ROM (used pac_i927-milestone.1.RC1.4.zip)!
The problem: the earliest version of it is based on Android 4.1 which is a No-Go for me because of Bluetooth HSP.
--> I recommend the mentioned version of PACman as your daily driver if you do NOT need BT HSP. I had it running several weeks without any problems but really great battery saving.
.. well that said I couldn't fork PACman ..
So I've downgraded to all available ICS based ROM again (which was VERY painful because of broken links to the apps because of different mount point names etc).
I have tried those all again (IcePOP, Cranium, Stock, DMans ICS, etc.) but no was "as good as" LiteROM (IMHO) - which I used several weeks before.
.. so +1 for forking LiteROM ...
The problem with LiteROM is that there are still issues and no further development is done on it.
Some of the major LiteROM issues for me (those are also the reasons why I first tried newer Android versions):
It looses the paired devices after a reboot ! (but that sounded to me like it can be fixed somehow)
The lags/waits when pressing the power button to switch the display on
Battery life is not the best
not the latest Kernel
many little things in the installer like it re-installs everything when only switching to another modem etc.
Nevertheless LiteROM is still the best base I can get (because it fits to my requirements best and is rock stable) and therefore I started in May 2014 the build of sediROM which is a fork of LiteROM v0.9.
UPDATE:
sediROM is officially available and have tons of fixes and enhancements inside. Check it out in the DEV thread:

what kernel do you use? Stock or litekernel?
Replacing kernel is very easy.
No documentation for BT sound, I dont think anybody would fix it. I've tried to find dev to find alsa HAL ( that is for voip sound fix), and no luck, while fixing alsa much more easier then fix BT sound.
Somebody tried to port cm10, it has many issue, you can find that topic in dev forum.
The idea for sediROM is to have a very well tested setup of default settings (like which kernel, etc.) but the free choice to modify it later whenever you like it.

LiteKernel v4.0 OverClocked and without UnderVoltage
LiteKernel v1.2.2 GPU not OverClocked and with UnderVoltage

would you point to sediROM? I couldnt find anything with google.
I dont know what is litekernel v4, I tought the last one was 2.x or less.
Litkernel has many power save improve, but it has many bugs too,
You have said already headset doesnt work, or does it work? I'm confused.

Oh no I said Bluetooth is generally working fine in Android v4.0 and therefore in sediROM / LiteROM but not in other ROMs which are based on Android 4.1 or higher
--> The only thing which are not perfect in v4.0 (or especially in LiteROM) is that Bluetooth Pairing are lost after rebooting.
--> ... and that is fixed in sediROM
Smashing! :laugh: I have been roaming around for something like this! Bloody awesome! Let me know when you have the download link ready! I will be glad to test it, and if it is stable as stock ICS I will definitely keep it as my DD! Thanks in advance for this! If you say it is indeed a fork for LiteROM with no bugs it will be the s#$)!!! And of course a keeper. Same as you, I´ve tried almost every ROM available for our cappy, but never totally satisfied with none. :fingers-crossed: Hoping this ROM is what I have been looking for. What exactly did you fix, aside from the pairing issues? Any luck with the automatic toggles, Force close issues, deep sleep power button.... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Man gimme more details! Freakin excited here :silly: jue jue jue jue

whooa keep calm my friend
as said I try to solve all the problems I saw in my case and that's what I fixed. If that fixes all yours.. - I don't know
The thing which sounds interesting to me is that you talk about automatic toggles and force closes.
I never seen automatic toggles and force closes but it may be because I use another Kernel. Well we will see when you have tried it .
I cannot promise it is bug free (in this early state of this ROM there is at least 1 known bug - to be honest) but I may can help to fix things..
Rest and details coming soon... :angel:
I'd definitely be interested in testing your ROM. Your idea is more or less what I wanted for my i927. Hope to be able to try it soon.
xdajog quick question mate, which Kernel have you been using so far? Stock Kernel, Litekernel (version)?
I remember lite kernel causes battery drain in ics

Well that point is not totally fixed yet. I'm currently using Litekernel 1.2.2 in the not-overclocked version but also played around with the others - even Stock of course. That said I cannot say that I've found a perfect kernel (grakernel may the one but it is for JB and higher only ) and still testing others.
So the short answer is that there are not such differences between them when it comes to battery drain (see my post in the dev because that's one of the open points yet)
... and only to ensure that we have all the same understanding: sediROM is my experiment to go to / to get / to become the perfect stable but actual ROM for the Glide. It is "on it's way" you now
For becoming that I need feedback of course and I believe there will be many things I may not seen/use like you do so don't expect something "perfect"

You are really miss the point.
4.0 means android version not kernel version.
The litekernel package includes a boot image, that boot.img include kernel,ramdisk.
Ramdisk is the root on your android. Litekernel has some ramdisk modification too ( https://github.com/thegreatergood/LiteKernel---Glide/tree/master/Build4.2/ramdisk/sbin/ext https://github.com/thegreatergood/L...ster/Build4.2/ramdisk/sbin/LiteKernel_Manager )
Grakernel should work with any rom, it doesnt change ramdisk, just replace kernel and install modules to /system/lib/modules. I think modules in you rom is in /lib/modules on ramdisk, so you need to change my install script to modify ramdisk.

oh I'm quite new in that and a little disappointed now :crying: Well kernel v1.x is not for Android 1.x so .. in a perfect world the version naming would be everytime the same.. so everyone would know what it means... So I it may be the same as one of the 1.x LiteKernels available.

Hm so you say replacing the kernel, adding the modules and it should work?
I've tried that already but without success (booting but display keeps black with some green pixels ..)
As I can see in your link the Litekernel mods are note relevant for functioning or am I wrong? They seem to do some power saving stuff nothing else?

Litekernel has 2 version string, one from the build version and one from android version. Litekernel has some power save codes, it cases that deep sleep issue IMHO.
Did you download kernel from i9103 forum or mine from http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/grakernel/ ? Sound like you have i9103 version.

it was yours (1.4.3) - but I will re-test it again to be sure..

i am very very very interrested in your ROM!
The BT-Headset function is very important for me, because for my car hifi handsfree bluetooth mode.
Battery Life
Since we are on the topic of battery life... does KitKat have the best battery life, or should I be using something else?

[DDK 1.9] OmniROM DDK 1.9 Test Version

Introduction
This is a test version of OmniROM with SGX DDK 1.9 graphics drivers, as well as many OMAP-related kernel updates. No, this isn't 3.4, but a LOT of TI updates were packed into the kernel. Currently, this is only for maguro, but anyone can build it for toro/toroplus with the sources.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Features
The ROM and the kernel has a stock feeling - no mods were added.
Most notable new features:
- SGX DDK [email protected]
- GPU governor
- Enabled 384 MHz GPU frequency (as a part of the OMAP updates)
- Tons of background changes for the kernel

Important notes
Camera and OMX is not working yet! This turned out to be a harder task for me to fix than implementing the new GPU drivers...
Other bugs are not known yet, but there may be some! Bug reports are welcome.
Thanks to everyone who helped me, especially Hashcode, as I used his repos as an example on how to set up things properly.

FAQ
How can I install this?
Just flash the ROM zip (and optionally GAPPS), and you're done.
Can I install this on top of Omni roms?
Yes, you should be able to do so without data loss.
Can I revert to non-1.9 Omni after this without data loss?
Yes.
Is this faster than the current ROMs/kernels?
As this is a stock-like ROM and kernel, not necessarily - there are no optimizations, etc added.
However, if one adds the optimizations used on current custom roms and kernels, this should be faster than them.
Can I install another kernel?
No, the new drivers require the ROM and the kernel side to match each other. Only this combination will work.
When will you fix camera?
I'm trying, but I don't have much success...
Can I help?
Sure, I appreciate any help, as I'm running out of ideas on how to fix camera and OMX.
Can I build this stuff myself?
Of course - everything needed is on my github. You'll need the following repos added to your Omni sources:
omni_android_device_samsung_tuna

Thanks for the suggestion, added it to the introduction text.
Amazing! I will try out tommorow
I've installed it and it feels smooth, I've not encountered any bugs yet. Have you tried removing "kitkat workarounds" from frameworks/native?
Thanks for your awesome work
Nice work! Seems a lot more responsive although it may be placebo effect.
Thanks for posting this, I'm going to try building for toroplus, since we seem to get left out of the excitement so often. My internet connection is slow and so is my computer, so you will probably have everything fixed before I get a chance to even look for bugs.
Great work! I hope you manage to get camera working soon.
Amazing work bro, wishing u best of luck !!
I'm on F2Fs otherwise would have tested this asap...
Awesome work!
Thanks for the amazing work you've brought to the gnex, but since i'm on F2FS i was wondering if you could make a F2FS compatible version of this rom?

Yeah, but the glitches are still there. Actually, that may be a bug in android itself (it affects a lot of devices), they may have fixed it on L... and those workarounds are really not important, as the problem only comes when taking screenshots. And since android takes screenshots for the rotation animation, etc, those glitches appear there as well. The workarounds just force it to take screenshots on CPU-path, they don't change anything else.
I think they fixed it in DDK 1.12 (which is the next version after 1.9), but that's another story, as I think it does not support our GPU (but it may in the future).

Q: And what about other Snapdragon versions?
A: I can't advise to do that, it's untested and might not work. If you know how to handle bootloops and can remove my kernel if it doesn't boot, then you can always try it and tell me how it went. More variants would be awesome.
Q: Yikes, this kernel is too close to stock! What about more features?
A: More features will be included, please check the changelog preview. You can also request features and track the progress. I will make a section on this thread to display the feature request and write if I look at them, make them or - and that might happen - reject them.

Known Issues / Fixes
Bootloop if you have Viper4Android installed and flashed Andromeda over it
Fix: Uninstall Viper, install Andromeda and then reinstall.
If this issue persists in my future builds, then I'll add an automated script to remove Viper4Android upon installation of the kernel.
Welcome Aboard Mate Good luck Stefan.
G is on kk how to test it. Kernel mentioned as 5.0.1

Still on kk? Samsung is slower than I thought lol... Thanks for letting me know, edited the thread. Probably better to try it when G receives official 5.0
Seems like a great Kernel, good luck buddy
Going to test on my n910t after work. Ktoonsez is the only booting kernel so far for TW5.0 but we have a data issue
Welcome thanks for the work: Bueno:

Hi, yes of course you can! We are actually working on deeper and more exclusive support for SimpleRom too. Stay tuned for version 2.1, it will be awesome
My kernel is much closer to the stock base, so you might get some more performance squeezed out - especially if you select Intelliactive as your governor - but at the cost of battery. I'm still not so big on features, the last couple of days my compiler decided to give me a hard time :crying:
Only 910F for now though!
this kernel is the best one for note 4 it is soo fast

I'm not part of their Team, but Pafcholini is teaching me Don't worry, this kernel is not a clone of Nadia. My newest and upcoming build is as fluent as the last one and the batterylife is holding up a ton better too. No compromises on either side, thats my motto!

Haha, I know what you mean I love the compliment, but I know as well as you do, that Nadia doesn't lag, unless the Synapse settings are set wrong. Too bad that my attempts at Synapse aren't going so great atm..

Yes, it is. I don't know what changes Sammy made to the BOC3 kernel yet, so mine might be a bit slower than the BOC3 stock one. But it works with the version just fine
Andromeda Stable 1.0 released!
Good evening everyone,
it took me a while, but I present you the first Stable build of Andromeda!
Changelog
- FauxSound 3.6 fully integrated
- IntelliPlug 4.0
- Enhancements and battery optimizations (mainly centered around powersuspend and adaptations to the default interactive governor)
- Renamed the Kernel in the settings, the last one was a disaster
- 57% Support with KControl currently (Playstore App)

About the Overclocking and Synapse...
I originally intended to include both in this build, but it will still need much more time and work and I didn't want to keep you away from the great upgrades I made in this version, so those two goodies will come later. I can highly recommend trying TricksterMod and KControl, both from the PlayStore.
And a very special announcement...
Perhaps the biggest change is that I recently joined "Team Simple - Simply Awesome" cool and will contribute an adapted version of the Andromeda kernel to SimpleRom, starting with the very close release of it's 2.1 Build. We planned something special - FauxSound is only the cherry on the Audiophile package inbuilt, so be very excited for whats coming up and be sure to try SimpleRom, especially the upcoming 2.1 version!
Oh, btw. I will also open a thread for the SimpleKernel once the Rom is released, to provide an optimized yet very close to stock experience! And there are also plans for an Exynos Build (the N910C), but I need some help with the Exy, so if anyone could lend me a hand, it would be highly appreciated! Now I understand why most devs settle for the Snapdragon..
