Hi guys,
this is a Semaphore Script Manager, which makes it easy for everyone to manage the scripts provided by stratosk in his great Semaphore Kernel in /res/scripts folder.
It enables and disables all the features immediately if possible, and copies them to, or deletes them from /system/etc/init.d automatically.
All features with one simple click, and that without reboot.
Semaphore Script Manager will be included in Semaphore Kernel.
Instead of installing the app, you can also wait until Stratosk releases a bundled version.
He will also provide improved enable and disable scripts in this release.
If you don't want to wait, here the installation guide:
Copy Semaphore apk to sd card and click on the file in any explorer on the phone.
If you want the newest scripts (not necessary for Semaphore Kernel 1.7.5+):
unpack SemaphoreScripts.zip.
Move the Folder inside to the sdcard. (On the sdcard should be a SemaphoreScripts folder and the scripts in it)
Install Scripts (Still works for overruling scripts with own scripts):
unpack zip file:
Move the Folder inside to the sdcard. (On the sdcard should be a SemaphoreScripts folder and the scripts in it)
New ScriptPack Support:
- Download a ScriptPack from Tapatalk, XDA App or Browser
- Start Semaphore Script Manager, open Menu - Manage Packages - Install <ScriptPack>
or
- Copy ScriptPack in /mnt/sdcard/SemaphoreScripts folder, and it is installed
About ScriptPack's:
- Base packages replaces complete the kernel scripts
(this can be used for testing new versions)
- AddOn packages can be installed additionally
(this can be used to get more tweaks or features)
Thanks:
This app provides access to scripts that enables/ disables existing or extending kernel functionality or kernel tweaks.
Everyone is welcome to create and provide scripts for the Semaphore Script Manager.
If a tweak of someone else is used, it should be displayed directly by the feature shown in the app.
If I am missing someone in existing scripts, please tell me, I will extend the credit list.
Special thanks to Stratosk, Chainfire, Pikachu01, Mialwe and Zeppelinrox who made all features and tweaks, that are provided through the Semaphore Script Manager.
Special thanks to ZaneZam for making the Bootanimation ScriptPack

Problems and feature requests related to the app should be posted in this thread.
There will come more features from time to time. The latest version will be always available in this thread.
Older Versions moved to the second post.
Have fun.
Attention:
All Script packages posted in the OP, are made for Gingerbread Semaphore Kernel.
Please do not use them for the ICS Semaphore Kernel!!!
Once I am on ICS too, I'll provide also AddOns for ICS.
If there is a dev, or a advanced user, who knows what the scripts are doing, I would appreciate feedback, about Tweaks addon and Profile addon, if they are working on ICS.
Thanks
ScriptPack_AddOn_Gov_v2.zip
- Improved Save Battery Governor
. * Samplingrate 20000 when screen on
. * Samplingrate 200000 when screen off
. * Up_Treshhold 98
ScriptPack_AddOn_UV_v2.zip
- UV Support
ScriptPack_AddOn_Tweak_v3.zip
- Stock Default Settings
- Chainfire Kernel and VM Tweaks
- HM-Settings (a mixture of Mialwe and Pikachu01)
- Mialwe Kernel and VM Tweaks
- Pikachu01 Kernel and VM Tweaks (Thunderbolt Tweaks)
ScriptPack_AddOn_Profiles_V1.zip
- Profiles Support
- Possibility to save own profiles
ScriptPack_AddOn_Cache_V1.zip
- Enable 50MB Cache
Changelog ICS v0.75:
- .scripts folder is updated, when new kernel version is installed.
Changelog v0.75:
- .scripts folder is updated, when new kernel version is installed.
Changelog ICS v0.74:
- Same functionality but specialy built for ICS to get ICS style
Changelog v0.74:
- Hopefully fix the busybox problems with SlimICS
Changelog v0.73:
- Improved speed for installing large addons. (packages are not copied to .scripts folder anymore to detect which are installed)
- Miscellaneous (tests) Section now showing correct state.
- Selecting a Temporary Script will disable corresponding Kernel Feature or Addon and vice versa
There are 3 types of Testscripts:
- Runonce Scripts (like Clean BusyBox): test features with only one script
- Temporary Scripts (like oc, uv, ...): test features that also exists as Kernel Feature or Addon
- Permanent Scripts (like enable boot sound or animation): all other features in tests folder
Changelog v0.71:
- Fixed Installation Problem if SemaphoreScripts folder is missing
- Fixed Force Close on conflicting script definition (enable/disable overruled by choice)
- Increased height of Categories for better handling
- Menu support for collapse and expand all categories
- Menu support for installing SuperUser app
- Menu support for installing script packages
So from now on there is a simpler procedure for installation:
- Download a ScriptPack from Tapatalk, XDA App or Browser
- Start Semaphore Script Manager, open Menu - Manage Packages - Install <ScriptPack>
Changelog v0.62:
- Collapsible Categories, to get a better overview (state will be remembered on open/close/reboot of the app)
- better texts
- optimized app size
- added/enhanced scripts, so nearby every feature can be enabled/ disabled without reboot.
(so settings can be compared better. A reboot needs a long time and states are reseted, this makes it very hard to compare the settings.)
- New kernel feature:
* Underclocking
* Conservative Governor tweaked for long battery life
* all features are immediately disabled without reboot
- AddOn Tweaks:
* Immediate disable/enable of 50MB Cache, without reboot
* Touchscreen: Stock, Chainfire, very sensitive settings
- New script functions in Miscellaneous:
* Clean Busybox (deletes busybox in system/bin, system/xbin)
* Voodoo-Color set Stock Color ("disables" voodoo color, by setting stock colors)
* Profiles:
- Kernel default (disables all features and cleans init.d, only semaphore scripts, nothing else)
- Recommended(HM) (enables my preferred settings)
- SaveBattery (sets aggressive battery save setting, phone will lag a bit, good if long battery life is needed)
Changelog v0.51:
- Support for Test Scripts
New Category: "Test (reseted on reboot)"
Scripts are used from SDCard /SemaphoreScripts/tests/
see AddOn_for_testing_OC
- Only one SU process, to prevent "su-rights granted" during property change
Changelog v0.42:
- Fixed bug displaying wrong feature name, if scripts are overruled
- Support for AddOns
All scripts are simple, no mystery.
All scripts from res/scripts can be adapted and overruled by copying the specific script to sdcard/SemaphoreScripts.
The Tweaks of Chainfire are disabled automatically, but the Tweak App will show the wrong status until reboot.
Best Setting for me:
- LMK 64MB
- SD-Card read ahead 256kb-64kb-best
But try for yourself, and give feedback for the best settings.
Description of the AddOn Features:
1) Low Memory Killer (LMK):
Android keeps all apps in memory as long as possible. If you start an app, that is already in memory, it starts very fast.
The Low Memory Killer will remove apps from memory, if there is not enough memory for the current app, but this will take some time, the app "lags".
The xx-mb is the free memory, when the Low Memory Killer will begin to remove apps from memory.
32mb-multitasking: if you start a lot of apps parallel and want to switch very fast between the apps.
92mb-chainfire: this is used by the minfree tweak from chainfire in tweaks app. This option is for using an app exclusive, no multitasking.
48mb-default: this is the samungs default, a good compromise allowing a bit multitasking and not so much lags in big apps like 3d games.
64mb-bigmem: this option tries to use the extra mem provided by the bigmem kernel to reduce lags.
So it depends on your phone usage, what is best for you.
2) SDCard read ahead
If bigger files are read by apps, there is less overhead reading them having greater read ahead config.
If apps read a lot of small files, there is less overhead reading them having smaller read ahead config.
128kb-default: This is samsung default for all mounts. a good compromize.
256kb-64kb: This increases the SDCard speed, as it uses a smaller read ahead for the kernel config files, that are mainly very very small. And a greater read ahead for the apps, and apps data that are mainly bigger than 128kb.
3072kb-chainfire: This is the setting of SDCard tweak from chainfires Tweaks App. It is a bit too high, as there are also smaller files.
Some people prefere 512kb-64kb or 1024kb-64kb.
So you will see the difference of SDCard speed with Media Scanning, load time of apps.

No it is special for Semaphore Kernel.
It uses the scripts in /res/scripts the kernel provides.
Goal was to make a very easy to use app.
Excellant!! And I was just wondering how this kernel could ever be improved
Brilliant work HM.Carbide
Perfect! Good work!
Thanks HM.Carbide!!
This proves that semaphore is the best kernel on xda.
Hybrid 2.0 lite on semaphore 1.7.0
Hint for next version.
Include bootanimation support.To copy bootanimation to right place.
Semaphore removes poweron sound.Maybe you can include that too.
Many regards

Power on sound and power off sound are deleted, no chance to restore them. They are also different from rom to rom.
If the kernel would back up the files to a folder on /data before they are deleted, it would be easy to add the feature for restoring them. It has also to be ensured, that the kernel does not delete the files on each reboot.
Copying boot animation is a bit risky, as there is the possibility of a boot loop with a wrong boot animation.
Ok.You are right.
On every custom or stock rom i use semaphore.
Copying file PowerOn.wav to /etc works.Semaphore kernels does not remove it after next boot.
Bootanimation is risky offcourse butt i had experience if you copy bad bootanimation you will only have black screen on boot not bootloop.
My friend this is only sugestion it's not must have.
Nice work with app.

no scripts visible
after installing the apk and copying folder, there are no scripts visible in the application, only Features and empty space. I am using JVP Criskelo ROM with Semaphore 1.6.0
Sounds interesting. Testing

You maybe have copied one folder depth to much.
Look at your sdcard:
it should be:
/mnt/sdcard/SemaphoreScripts/enable...
...
you maybe have now:
/mnt/sdcard/SemaphoreScripts/SemaphoreScripts/enable...
or
The app has maybe no root rights.
or
There is a busybox conflict.
(Search this in Semaphore Thread, this is in general a problem for Semaphore Kernel Scripts.)

Thanks, I did have two busybox versions, and removing one from xbin helped.
there is a bug in the Semaphore script manager v0.31 which is supplied with Semaphore_JVS_1.7.5
Netfilter and Speedmod Colors are interchanged.
Netfilter allows selection of cold/neutral/warm while
Speedmod Colors is only on/off
nAOSP ROM 5.1 and 6.0 for Xperia S
The purpose of this rom is to provide a rom not so far of the AOSP with some cool features (nAOSP means "near AOSP").
As I'm using some external works to do this rom, I first want to thanks the community and specially billchen1977,ViPER4Android Team ,Cyanogenmod Team , FXP Team

Overclocking
Overclocked kernel are tested on my own device BUT I won't be responsible for any damages on yours
Please don't enable mpdecision on OC kernel and b20+ version except if you know what you are doing.
Since b20 kernels are merged so the overclocking is available in the default kernel. By default the ROM will use stock frequencies.
Thermanager
By default if the device is too hot it will reduce the screen brightness and CPU clock. When the device will be cool enough it will restore brightness and CPU clock but at 1.5Ghz only.
If you want to force thermanager to restore the clock to a specific value defined by an external overclocking tool, you can edit /system/etc/thermanager.xml.

FAQ
If you want a specific feature/custom, let me know and if I can I will integrate them
on my ROM nAOSProm for 4.4.4, I have removed Browser, Music, Voice Dialer etc because this is mainly replaced by other applications (Google ones). Do you want me to remove them from the 5.0.0 version ?

Yeah, removing Voice Dialer and the ancient Music app is a good idea. But please don't remove the AOSP Browser as I find it faster and better than other browsers.

Can it be made possible to un-pin a pinned screen by simultaneously touching the back and menu capacitive keys instead of the standard back + recents nav bar keys?
Or can you add an option to remap buttons?
Hmm I can see it's LRX21V, does your build also have the Miscellaneous battery bug? (WiFi related)
@mickybart The zip shows name as b03 in the hubic link. Is it the b03 or b06 link?

Hi nice work
It would be nice if you could implement hold back to kill app feature
But it would be better if you could compile Rastapop?? https://github.com/rascarlo
It has quite few features and you dont slowly add this that into here, and its also based on AOSP :good:
But still its up to you and thanks :laugh:

i flashed doom kernel first, and flash the rom with its recovery (cwm). i got error too if i flashed with twrp (maybe it's fota kernel problem or in twrp itself).
cant give feedback yet though, just flashed it myself
thanks for the rom.

if by fastcharge you mean when it plugged to pc it'll get 500 mA, why do you need it? just use the charger, or use powerbank that has higher output.

there's a thread for doomkernel for xs. check that first. im sorry i cant upload it for you. my connection is really slow. meanwhile try unmount system in twrp first, though using this way i still got the error, maybe because resized partition or something, only using doomlord's kernel (and cwm), it'll work.

i had this toggle in kernel tuner ''Fast charge'' when im on 4.1+. but except on the 5.0. the toggle on kernel tuner isnt there. which is the kernel problems. it doesnt have that feature yet.:good:

so you just want the toggle to be there? well, the function of fastcharge is like what i've stated.. you'll get 500 mA when plugged to pc with usb2.0 (or 900 mA in usb 3, provided the phone support it or something), which i think is not-really-important feature (and besides i've read that it can damage the usb slot (both in the pc and the device)), just use the charger. XS still can get higher amperage. i test it with 3c toolbox that it still can get 1200 mA when charged with 1500 mA charger (just like stock rom)
sorry for oot..

All i can say is that. 5.0 has the slowest charging so far. all other roms (4.0+) are charging from 0 to 50% in 40 minutes in my phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so it's not fastcharge that you want.. you should know the definition/function before asking the feature..
and, for me it still fast when charging, the same with stock rom, kitkat or anything, try to disable data, set it to 2g, dont charge it while it's hot (eg: cool it first before charging) and try unplug then plug it again if the charging seems slow. you can check the amperage that came in with 3c toolbox pro (it's paid version though, dont know about free version). fast (faster) charging (not fastcharge) is what sony advertised for XS, and it's still there in this rom

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:

DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH

SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant). I don't believe this kernel will fix the no call audio issue for those UX ROMs. It is ROM related !!
Enjoy

BUG Report Update: UX firmware Bluelight Filter
The blue-light issue is in kernel source.
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk (with permission edits) + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + UX ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + UX ramdisk + UX dt.img == no blue-light
Which all points to the source I’m using . . . and nothing I can do about it. That's leaked firmware and no proper source, what else to expect. . . .
Yes night clock works Fine also private mod Works fine..
i tested last night deep sleep.. 6 hours phone slept %14 battery gone Can you check it,
Anyone tested deep sleep ? please report here thanks.

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

Storage Benchmarks
STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. Flash what through recovery ?
2. What "did not work" ?
I suppose you:
1. Flashed the actual kernel zip !!

There are recovery logs, but I'm quite sure you haven't actually read and or followed the above anyway........

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

THIS is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos4
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC == excessive heat == thermal throttling == reduced clock frequency == DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH

v5.8 released
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.8 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant). I don't believe this kernel will fix the no call audio issue for those UX ROMs. It is ROM related !!
Enjoy

I suppose it occurred at the time battery was either full or 100% ? I've 2 of those on my N920C whilst on data and standard mains AC charging since v5.6. Battery was either full and or indicating 100%. Only happened (for me) since later kernel source merges. I thought I fixed it 5.6 - 5.8, but maybe not entirely. Could be firmware variant inconsistencies and or stock dt.img.
Unfortunately it's rare (meaning difficult to reproduce the bug so a solution can be found), and I just don't have time to look into things for a long time.

This might be a newby question, but, would a Rooted Stock be able to use this Kernel? I'm guessing you must have a Rom?

N920P Tester needed
If you are capable and willing to test G928P SkyHigh kernel pre-release on full stock firmware G928PVPU2BPG1 ??
Just require ONE (THE FIRST TO REPLY) that can work around flashing and recovery WITHOUT anyone holding your hand.
Without proper testing and decent informed feedback, there will be no official release for you. I've spent a lot of time on this for just a few users here. There aren't many appreciative, since I don't even have device.....

Okay.
All I require to finish this test build is the stock G928PVPU2BPG1 boot.img. If you don't have it, then it can be extracted from the full firmware package http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/84809/G928PVPU2BPG1_G928PSPT2BPG1_SPR/ . I need it unmodified.
I can't guarantee much on this, full fresh build on top of your device specific source. A few changes along the way, which could affect stability or boot. etc. No idea.
I'll get it to you ASAP

I can also test if you need me to, I'm currently running G928PVPU2BPG1 with the kernel from the OP with otherwise stock firmware and all is working fine.
