[KERNEL][BETA/TEST][CM12][1/12/15] E980 Kernel+ V0.8.1

[anonymous007]

Once this kernel is done I'll probably just throw together a stock kk and add all the same things. That would take not too long since I would already know how to add everything.
Currently I'm learning by trial and error how to add everything... Which takes a lot of time. Even with porting. I have no idea how many files I'm supposed to edit or anything. Although I'm becoming pretty good at guessing where they are. I theoretically added uc, oc, intelli-plug, and uv from aosp kernel. However, that dev sets his kernel up differently so I'm trying to figure out everything, especially that giant config file.
But yes. Stock kk and maybe stock jb but there already is a stock jb kernel or two, so probably just kk. But yeah its in the plans. Once this is done hopefully I can attempt to unofficially compile a ROM or two for our device. Hopefully that wouldn't be as difficult as this. But we shall see.

+1 on the ROMS really want to see Paranoid on our device :victory:

I'd love to compile Carbon and Paranoid.
I know it's possible since Oblikas used to do it. I just hope it's as easy as I've heard. Which I'm sure it's not. :laugh:

 

[MitoTakatori]

Hmm, I'll see about that. I'm pretty sure all ROMs have their kernels in their sources. So that would make sense. I'll try taking one of them off of github and messing with it.

I'm sure you can build one sooner. Keep up the great work and support.

 

[t3chwizard]

Thank you for your input.
However you may notice I asked for the sources there a little bit ago. I will be taking everything desired from that and adding it to this one. So not so much as reinventing the wheel. But rather recreating the wheel with less crap in it. For example I do not understand the coding behind the dalvik improvements. If I cannot understand it, I do not wish to implement it. So I will not be updating that one.
(Plus when I used the 4.3 version I noticed a lot of crashes on Carbon. I hope to keep this as stable as possible. If I update this with everything I am aware of, it will be much easier to keep stable.)
Again though, thank you for the input. But hopefully today now I will have a new kernel with plenty of features and the kernel will be finished as a final V1.0 MUCH sooner than anticipated.

Make sure you go for stability as with the AOSP ones with CPUquiet and intelliplug, there are random reboots ever so often. It is a pain in the but. So it you can go for stability and add all the features go for it. Also if possible could you try to add the USB keyboard thing again? I mentioned it a while back, but it didn't work when you tried it. I'm not pressuring you I'm just giving a suggestion.

I think I'll be skipping CPUquiet since it has no battery gain according to a few members. I'm doing Intelliplug along with OC, UC, and UV atm... I finally got the dang Intelliplug to compile after reading through tons of patches. I really hope it works along with the OC and UC. The last one I made wouldn't boot. :L
Oh and I'll give USB Keyboard a shot again soon. Now that I have a much better understanding of what I'm doing. It will be a little though.

That is great news.

Great to hear man. Keep up the good work. I tried the Intelliplug kernel but it would never deep sleep and it would randomly reboot always at the most inconvenient moments.

Great work man, am waiting for a compatible one with stock based rom

 

[Snepsts]

Okay everybody, I have made a decision that I'm not sure how I feel about.
So instead of porting over features from our AOSP kernel (I nearly had intelliplug, uv, oc, and uc), I have decided to port over all of faux kernel's fixes, modifications, and features. Since the Nexus 4 is very similar to our device, I do not consider this impossible, since it is a similar phone. The main reason for this is I do not have enough experience (nor patience) to port feature by feature since there are so many gosh darn things I need to add to get a feature to work. This way, I will have all the defined functions I need and we will have tons of Snapdragon 600 optimized additions.
Also, looking through commits, I noticed some things about MAC addresses? That is good news.
So anyways, once that's done, F240 port is next, then maybe a stock kernel, along with USB keyboard.

Long story short: I hope you all have good practice in patience (well I guess we all have to have it, I mean we've been without a good kernel for a long long time). This will take quite a while. However, the payoff will be great, and once this is done I think it will be the full kernel version. Hopefully, it'll be as stable as the faux kernel for N4.
Wish me luck friends, and thanks for waiting

Do your thing man. We are patient.

If I can figure it out, I'm sure you can [emoji106]

New(ish) kernel version!
I realized I've been keeping the Linaro compile update to myself for almost a week. In theory it's supposed to perform a little faster and be optimized for our device's CPU architecture since it's very similar to Cortex A-15. Anyways, it's not super important, and I didn't want to call this a new kernel version (since there is almost no change), but I guess it'll be a while until the next one. So enjoy!

 

[dave71670]

Very smooth so far. Thx

This isn't related to your kernel, but for some reason FauxClock isn't working anymore even though I purchased it on the play store, and the same with Trickster Mod and Greenify. For trickster and greenify the pro license isn't recognized even though it is installed and with FauxClock it won't connect to the WiFi to check my license for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this?

Sign out of your Google account and sign back in. Wipe Services/Framework/Play Store cache. Restart to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot.
If that doesn't work try a different ROM than the current you're using. Also try a different Gapps package. I couldn't get any of my purchases with Slim Gapps Play Store unless I was on Slim ROMs.

Another F240 user here, wish to have a good and updated Kernel for 4.4.2+ Roms. I' ve read the whole thread and seems like you need a CM11 kernel sources for the F240, wich I believe it will be hard to find, because Koreans and Asians really struggle when talking about Gpl (Do you know Mediatek? Hehe), that's the reason because most of the F240 dev work is not on Xda..

Well, I've never tried to boot a E98X kernel, so I don't know how it acts, I mean, I it stays at bootanimation or bootlogo or directly it doesn't reach the bootlogo. I think I will try to boot one of these, if there aren't any risks of bricking, but the main differences that I know between E98X and F240 it's just the radio and the lack of Fm Radio chip on the Korean, being changed by a Tv tuner, that doesn't work out of Korea[emoji25] .

The thing is, I will join forces and I will search for F240 sources, even for stock Rom, and maybe we can make a diff between F240 and E980 sources to see what the changes are.

Maybe hkfriends can help you giving some info that can be helpful. I cannot do more than searching because where I live I have very limited Internet consumption, so no compiling, etc..for me.


EDIT: just found Stock KK Kernel sources, though, I don't know if they are incomplete: https://github.com/noobies/f240l-kernel

EDIT: another, it seems to be for stock also, he has added some features like Oc, might be interesting https://github.com/fafalafafa/gprokernel

Btw, thanks for your work and hope we can find something useful!Ah, sorry if you don't understand me, I am not very proof at English

Your English is fine friend! Also, I have a new theory that maybe if hkfriend has a defconfig for your device I can use it with mine to try for a bootable F240. But for now I have been hard at work with the current kernel and intelli-plug. I may try this over the weekend though, and kick out some test builds to you.
Thank you for the information! I look forward to trying to bring my kernel to you. I may ask one of the F240 dev over in the android development for our device where he gets his cm kernel also.

Also I trust this looks promising for my kernel users?
Odd story, really. After losing my mind over the faux kernel port, I went back to my current working directory. I've been working on intelli-plug for a few days now, and no matter what I did, it would boot-loop on each kernel version. I left it to sit while I installed ADB to debug (or at least try), once I flashed I let it sit and got very frustrated at the boot-loop. I looked through my kernel directories a little... and then all of a sudden, it stopped boot-looping... And it BOOTED. Now it appears I have intelli-plug. I will test it tonight and tomorrow. This was the oddest thing I've seen yet...

Hello friends, Intelli-plug SEEMS to be working.
Be very careful when flashing though. You probably will experience boot-loop for a little, but do not worry, it should fix itself EVENTUALLY (I do not know the cause of this... yet). If anybody knows how to logcat a boot-loop please get one to me, I am unable to or it might not be possible.
FLASH STEPS:
Reboot to recovery
Flash kernel
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Wait through boot-loops. (Might go on for a little bit, be prepared for a long wait. Like 10 minutes.)
Done!
Optional Step: Report any and all intelli-plug bugs to Snepsts.
But yes, it will boot EVENTUALLY.
A tip, the wait for the phone to exit boot-loop will probably feel pretty brutal. Just go make coffee or tacos while you wait.

 

[dave71670]

Have you tried with different recoveries?

Edit: I placed boot.img into a different kernel zip and no loop.
