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

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION
The Samsung Exynos 7420 Deep Dive - Inside A Modern 14nm SoC (by ANANDTECH - Andrei)
F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore
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
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
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

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS

Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST

@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!

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
UITA

IS working ? And stays ON ?

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.

Help & FAQ
THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks
BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:
Code:
1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
NO FAST CHARGE
If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
I will 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.
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Three choices:
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT
OR
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue
Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
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 (thanks @aldoblaga )
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:
Code:
lsmod

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION

F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore
http://bgr.com/2015/03/17/galaxy-s6-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.
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Battery
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)
Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
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
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61579949&postcount=202
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, 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.
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
* [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:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

On the second post there is a change log spoiler, you can see that there's support for the F C G I variants only, nothing mentioned about T or 7, most probably won't work as these are quite different
-=-=-
The kernel performs perfectly, I'm not keen to adjust any of the settings in synapse for now, default is rock stable and smooth, battery drainage looks great as well

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 . . .
UX BETA firmware - blue light filter
UX BETA firmware - torch light (some ROMs)
HD voice ? - Speakerphone: other party cannot hear voice
SOURCE - ALL SkyHigh VARIANT:
Available upon request..
v6.6.1 AFH
v6.8.0 uploaded soon. . . . .
.

@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!

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

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. . . .

Is primarily a ROM issue and there is no current fix. I don't have a T variant, so there is nothing I can do to help. Use non-UX beta ROM

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

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

KatKiss ROM
Nougat 7.1 ReleaseAsus TF300T
Please note that this version is made for and tested on the TF300T model.
This rom is an aosp based rom with my own additions on top of it.
The main motto of the rom being Kiss. Even though the Meerkat could give you a kiss, it stands for Keeps it Sweet and Simple too
Which means that the rom's main goal is efficiency, speed/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down

DOWNLOADS:

TF701 version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/orig-development/rom-t3540259
Quick demo video of the current rom: https://youtu.be/bclpP2UJydE
You'll have to excuse the phone quality
it's mostly to show the responsiveness, launch times, switching between apps repeatedly, multi apps, video playing, floating windows and so on, it's not feature exhaustive.
Install Instructions:
Install KANG TWRP Recovery
Backup everything !
Boot into the recovery
The first time or everytime you have an issue when dirty flashing (Especially when changing android versions):
[*] do a full wipe , if you have issues make sure that you format /data (format is different than wipe)
Warning: formatting will remove what is stored in your internal storage, so store the rom /gapps/supersu zips onto an external storage (microSD, SD card..) or make sure you know how to push them back through adb.
Change /data filesystem to f2fs
(wipe => advanced wipe, check /data then "Repair or change filesystem" => change file system => and choose F2FS)
Then everytime (even when "dirty flashing") do the following steps:
Flash the rom
Flash the SuperSU zip
[*]Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Note that current gapps setup wizard will crash as it is not fully compatible with android 7.1.2 (KatKiss >= 022)
unless you turn on wifi manually after the language selection in the initial setup.
(if you don't have a dock, use the extra wifi button in the navbar)

ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.1.x
ROM Firmware Required: Latest stock bootloader, KANG TWRP
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Beta Release Date: 2016-09-02
Created 2016-09-02
Last Updated 2019-09-28

Tips
First Install
Make sure you do a format /data the first time you install the rom
(backup your internal storage first if you want to keep something)
The first boot after a rom flash can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.
(First boot takes ~4-5 minutes without gapps and 10+ minutes with gapps)
Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.
Note that app optimizations /cache will now occur in background after being installed, only when :
- your device is idle
- on power and fully charged.
So after install , let your device on the charger for a few hours for it to fully optimize.
System UI Tuner
A few things including the navbar buttons can be tweaked in Settings => System UI Tuner
Hardware keyboard layouts
More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => Physical Keyboard (asusdec)
(to use multiple layouts , you first need to add another Language in Settings => Language & input)
You can switch between layouts using the keyboard icon that appears in the navbar.
Storage Encryption
Encryption is not supported on our devices
Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions
This will allow you not only to redefine function keys assignment, and other special keys actions,
but you'll also be able to assign global macro actions / app launch to any key + Meta key combination (shift Left or Right , ctrl..)
You can also add multiple actions to one key combination, simply click again on the "+" button for the same key combination.
For example if you want to assign to one key combination a list of action to run before going to bed for example, like: turn wifi off, Bluetooth off, mute sound, and turn screen off, you can do that
Note that starting multiple applications with one key is kinda a miss and hit for the moment due to some mecanism in android that seems to prevent applications to start too close to each others.
Bluetooth audio devices
For bluetooth audio devices that have "phone audio" capability you need to uncheck the box in the device's bluetooth settings.
Camera
Video recording is 720p max
Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%
There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage
To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb
To run both, open a terminal and run:
su
/etc/kat/optimize

that's why it says ****Coming soon**** next to the download links
I need to create the thread first to upload basically, 8 minutes left if xda doesn't fail

First Beta Release #006
New rom version available: KatKiss-7.0_TF300T_006.zip
Let's go !
I've been using Nougat for the past few days and It's pretty much usable as a daily rom already I'd say
Unless you need one of the missing /not working feature of course (See 1st post)
I'll be busy for the weekend, so I thought some might want to play with it too
As usual with a major upgrade: FORMAT /data first
(it'll change it to ext4, then you simply need to change it back to f2fs)
Have fun

Sorry man I thought coming soon was meant for the mirror link.

Wow. This is very impressive, I hope to try this soon

Tim, you are..THE MAN!!!

Installed and seems to run good! I didn't do extensive testing till now though...
Thank you for the great work you are doing!

@timduru
Did I understand correctly?
My steps when moving from version KatshMallow #029 the following:
Full wipe + format /data to ext4
Convert /data to F2FS
Install new ROM (7.0) + GAPPS + SuperSU

Yep, that would work
You can skip "full wipe", as data format to ext4 does the same, just more complete

Installed. Running fine.

Do I have to format f2fs even though I am already on katshmallow with f2fs?

Yes, full cleaning internal storage needed.

Do I convert /data to f2fs within kang twrp or adb with a command line?

Will this fantastic ROM become available for the TF201 as my TF300 has just gone Kaput!!

Is there a possibility to install google now launcher?
When installed from the store, I can't get it to run. And flashing the micro or stock gapps, results in the device not booting. And I waited for like 20 minutes. Or was that too short of a waiting time?

Welcome to the official thread for Primal Kernel project for the Exynos Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F/FD/W8/S/L/K) running TouchWiz based ROMs (Nougat only currently).
The aim of this project is to provide a rock solid, ready to use tweaked kernel, without useless features.
Introduction:
Primal Kernel, formerly known as The Outsider Kernel, is the first S7 kernel for TouchWiz based ROMs sporting the AnyKernel2 installation approach.
The most widespread method consists of flashing a complete prebuilt boot image (this means that it will be flashed straight away without any modification).
This is the most practical method for providing a working kernel, but it has disadvantages too:
1) the installation package will be bigger.
2) the developer must keep the ramdisk updated with the newest from stock kernels. This requires rebasing the patches and keeping up with the newest firmwares sometimes with frequent releases.
3) it makes the compatibility with older ROMs a little more complicated as a newer ramdisk could add modifications not supported by the older ROM.
4) for the ported ROMs the developer has to manually patch the ramdisk with the required changes from the ported device's one. So you have to create a different boot.img for every ported device for every S7 variant.
But we have an alternative...
AnyKernel2 is a different approach to the installation of the kernel: the package only contains the prebuilt zImage (the actual kernel), the dtb (basic hardware instructions like reserved memory and so on) and the patches for the stock ramdisk. AnyKernel while installing unpacks the previous kernel and replaces zImage, dtb and, after patching it, the new ramdisk.
This implies various benefits:
1) smaller installation package.
2) you can always have the most updated ramdisk without the need of waiting an update from the developer.
3) better compatibility as you can flash it on top of any stock (or close to) boot image.
4) it makes life a lot easier for the developer with many ready to use patching functions.
5) with some efforts from me, the package can adapt the stock S7 ramdisk to work on any S8 or Note FE ported ROM, making it even more adaptable.
All this sounds great (and it is great) but introduces a problem: you can't flash it on top of another custom kernel. This because custom kernels almost always have scripts and other modifications to the ramdisk, which might not be compatible with my kernel.
Installation instructions:
If you correctly follow these instructions you'll be able to run Primal on any ROM (as above).
If it doesn't work, read twice and try installing again before asking for help.
● Instructions for BatMan ROM (S8 port) users:
1) install the ROM (you can dirty flash if you already have it installed) make sure to choose stock kernel (so it doesn't install the new GPU libs, which aren't supported by Primal).
3) after the ROM flashing process has been completed flash the Primal kernel zip for your device.
4) flash your preferred root method.
5) reboot and be patient as first boot might take a little more time.
● Instructions for any other ROM (any other S8 and Note FE ported ROM and, obviously, any S7 ROM) running a custom kernel:
1) make sure you have the stock S7 kernel zip (or any stock boot.img from any S7 Odin package or ROM zip containing the stock kernel) and Primal Kernel zip.
2) if you have a boot.img flash it to the boot partition using Flashify or TWRP itself.
3) if you have the flashable stock kernel zip and Primal Kernel zip reboot to recovery and flash in this order: stock kernel zip, Primal Kernel zip and then your preferred root method.
● Instructions for any S7 ROM running stock kernel:
1) reboot to recovery and flash in this order Primal Kernel and your root method of choice.
If you get into a bootloop...
● if you're running a port make sure it says dream2lte (if an S8 port) or gracerlte (if a Note FE port) in the build.prop; if there isn't any add a line at the bottom, "primal=dream2lte" for S8 or "primal=gracerlte" for Note FE.
● make sure your ROM doesn't come with the new GPU libs installed, if it does restore the old libs somehow (flashable zip coming soon!).
Thanks and Credits:
● Samsung OSRC for the kernel source code
● @Tkkg1994 and @jesec for their clear and vast source code and scripts
● @flar2, @UpInTheAir, @franciscofranco, @eng.stk, @osm0sis, @andip71 and others for their great contributions to the community and Android

● always have the latest ramdisk for your specific model and variant, thanks to AnyKernel2
● ported ROMs are supported (like S8 and Note FE based ROMs)
● compiled with custom built Uber Toolchain 6.4.1 (20170826) and optimization flags
● custom scripts with tweaks applied at boot, optimizations and wakelock fixes
● init.d support
● added a few tested and updated CPU governors (blu_active, conservative, ondemand, powersave, interactive, performance).
default: interactive
● added a few tested and updated I/O schedulers (noop, deadline, row, cfq, bfq, zen)
default: cfq with custom parameters
● added a few TCP congestion algorithms (westwood, reno, bic, cubic, htcp, lia, olia, wvegas)
default: westwood
● full f2fs support from jaegeuk's f2fs-stable plus OnePlus improvements
● fstab mount tweaks for both ext4 and f2fs
● fixed various bugs in the Linux code like improved cyptography algorithms, filesystems, network...
● architecture specific fixes
● cpuidle improvements
● random (entropy) generation improvements
● power managemnet, schedulers, governor and memory management improvements
● unlocked lower CPU frequencies with correct voltages and set recommended defaults (312MHz big - 338MHz LITTLE)
● schedule workqueues on awake CPUs enabled
● improved hotplug and idle with interactive governor
● added 112MHz minimum GPU frequency and clock control
● voltage control for GPU
● LED control with fading option
● voltage control for big and LITTLE clusters
● preset I/O scheduler tunables
● disabled SWAP and ZSWAP for best performance
● preset VM tunables
● SELinux permissive
● Knox 0x0, Samsung security checks and SafetyNet spoofed to pass
● Fsync switch added
● Software CRC control switch added
● and many other changes (too many to be listed here)...
Notes:
● If you want root, you need to flash the root zip after flashing this kernel (Magisk is recommended to pass SafetyNet).
● If you want to access the advanced kernel controls MTweaks by @morogoku is the only app which supports all the features (download it here).
Everything has always been stable, and almost bug free, so no notes on that side at the moment :laugh:
Latest stable version is 2.3.4.

- changed frequency policy especially regarding touch boost (for better battery)
- allow to enable Exynos swap
- add unstable power detection and charging/battery controls
- added notifiers for the future addition of CPU governors and removed old/broken implementations
- a few f2fs and other minor fixes to defconfig, schedulers, cpufreq

How to set up your phone with f2fs:
1) First you have to install a compatible recovery. Recent TWRP releases can format and mount f2fs, but they don't handle a few installation scripts correcty. I recommend TWRP 3.1.1.0 by @lyapota which has the correct patches. You can find it here.
2) Then you have to backup all your data (internal storage will be wiped too, so make sure to copy ALL your files in the INTERNAL storage). So, any TWRP backup should be taken on external SD card.
3) After this, reboot into TWRP. From Wipe / Advanced Wipe check only /data, then select Change Filesystem and check f2fs. Do the same for /cache. At the moment I don't think there are ROMs that support f2fs on /system too (All the TouchWiz based ROMs force ext4 and format despite settings).
4) Reboot into recovery once again, so we're sure that it can mount everything.
5) At this point you're done. Flash your ROM of choice, this kernel and whatever you want.
Reboot and profit!
ROMs supporting f2fs formatted /system will be listed here when available.

At the moment only the stock hotplug. Further developments will need a specific app like Synapse or maybe a custom Kernel Adiutor -- which is the next step in the development.
I'm running latest Helios, the only thing that is preventing me to do my own custom ROM (basically it perfectly fits my needs).

Default settings are the best even for you?
I wanna try your work but don't have enough time for playing games with custom settings.
Thx a lot for you anyway

The point of this is to provide a great experience out of the box -- there is a few others helping me to decide which are the best settings, and I update them quite often because it's a continue pursuit of the best everyday settings profile.
The script applies at boot before anything else so you can change them in case you don't like.
The inexperienced user can update the kernel and enjoy always updated settings without even installing a kernel control app or rooting.

Those scores are with OC ? GPU and CPU?

Seems smooth even with PowerSaving mode(1.4.1)
Update: Battery is unstable <=60-50%

yup,speed up everything for high score
New base D2/3 all score high.
with stock kernel and default settings score 140k.

May give it a try out at some point ATM I'm on superman ROM but curious as if it will break superman control app as I know a version of super kernel broken that app

The old 1.x.x version can have every problem imaginable (the only confirmed one is stutters for some users) but no one ever complained about battery.
Users just say things without proof, stats or logs, they don't even mention the settings they're using or which ROM are they on... Definitely not useful.

Thank you.
In my opinion. I can see this kernel make my rom Super Man is smoother than superstock or tgpkernel or superkernel. Absolutely smoothly and not effect to battery much (still not recognize..). I push up all cpu frequency to max. Hehe

New update is available for download. It has been tested and reported to be stable and worth the upgrade from the great 2.1.6.
