As long as needed by franco to make all its improvement on it ^^
(or maybe i'll never become official, and the next official would be for ICS)

more and more people seems that having trouble with a specific kernel.
Someone came from cf root ,another one came from v9 or abyss....
Lets get a little serious as many of us having trouble we re not making anything more than comfused the developer.
There are so many data in our devices that we have to understand what is in and what out.
You can easily messed them up by mistake and only.
For example you can go from a rom to another just by wiping dalvik and cache and loose no data at all but this is not the correct way.
If you ll try out 2 or 3 kernels there are some tweaks in there that cannot be wiped.
The easiest way is with jbdroid and wipe but if you want serious the best way is to take a backup wipe everything and start from scratch.
Only then you ll be sure that there is nothing in there to corrupt or conflict something else.
For me it is better to go a step forward and wipe also the internal/external memory(backup first).
For sure it is very easy to change kernel or a rom in a bus or a coffe shop but the best way is to sit down and make it correct ;)

You have raised some very good points here.

Running the Test Build with CheckRom V6.

Today my Note was so hot like never before. I was recharging it from very low % of battery while the phone was in idle.
When I was going to unplug it, the whole phone was extremely hot. Holding my finger for 2 seconds on the display was painful... Battery was at 90%. :eek:
PS: The display stays often black, when trying to wake it up. With #9 this didn't happend so often.

I may have to do this and completely wipe everything and start from fresh LC1 with the test kernel and see if I still encounter the random long wakeup times. That's my only real problem with that kernel. I'm already missing the better battery life and speed of franco's.

Delete 3rd party init.d scripts. Right now I'm writing this from phone while it's charging (charging and using it for last 20 mins) and temp is just 45°C.

It happened to me once... I had restart my note and issue has went. I have noticed that phone was anormally hot and charging was very very slow. I thought that there was a cpu sucking process at the background...

try a full wipe...that makes it working...by meaning full include emmc..this is the only solution for now.
Test it at 3 devices so far and working.
My sequence was:
wipe dalvik c, cache part, emmc,system,data,boot, factory settings,install rom,wipe dalvik& cache,install kernel wipe dalvik & cache,set permissions, done.
For now after many tests that way is the better and makes the device faster ar least for that device and that kernel.
Many will complain about full wipe but this is the way it was and thats the way that it will be for stability...;)

I am sorry but what is dalvic c and emmc?

i always do format internal sd and factory reset then go in to recovery mode, wipe cache and factory reset. which part am i missing for full wipe? Thanks.

I dont think you are full formatting your internal sd. In cwm internal storage is shown as emmc. Its under storage and mounts. Then format emmc. It will wipe all your data on the phone itself. But not the external sd. I do it every time i flash a new rom. Provides more consistent results. Backup all data to external sd first.

results:
5 devices and all with problems like overheat or deep sleep or anything else that was issue after kernel flash are ok now by full wiping.
Only one took the deep sleep and only once 3 days ago and for 5 sec.
Everyone else have no problem at all with the sequence i provide some posts back.
I m sure Franco do his best to provide a stable release but for now that way works perfect....

Also if you experience deep sleep after lock push your home button once then keep your power button for 4 sec live it for 2 sec and it will come back again...

And a little read is not bad at all

Hold up! Before you flash 23. Are you on 22? Make sure you flash 22 first then reboot. Then install 23 without any wipes. Install instructions are on first page of rr thread

    Stock XXLPY/LPF only - confirmed and working. You Should not boot on AOSP/CM9 roms.

    This is what my kernel is made off:
    * Initramfs with the usual stuff (root, CWM support, recovery etc) based on CF-Root LPY
    * Partitions properly mounted in the ramdisk to take the most out from the device
    * VM values tweaked up for maximum performance/battery
    * Conservative tweaked and made the default governor
    * I/O boosted - I/O dirty writeback system backported from 3.2
    * CFS scheduler tweaked for maximum interactivity
    * CFS Autogroup enabled
    * Deadline I/O scheduler by default
    * TCP Westwood+ congestion scheduler by default as its more suitable for this kind of devices
    * Kernel stripped of debug **** - the only debugs that stayed were: logcat, printk and kallysms (for Voodoo Louder support)
    * CRC32 library that is used by a lot of internal kernel mechanics completely patched up to the latest version
    * The usual Franco's magic
    * SLUB memory allocator
    * Wi-Fi power management - echo 1 > /sys/module/dhd/parameters/wifi_pm (this is only available with wifi is turned on. This boosts wifi signal and its specially useful for screen_off streaming, but it might waste a little extra battery)
    * Lots more to be seen on my repository

    Changelog:
    r6:
    * All governors removed but one - pegasusq from Samsung
    * Merged gokhanmoral work on this cpufreq driver - all credits to him. Also cleaned up a defined but unused function
    * fsync() calls reintroduced to match stock behavior. The device actually runs faster/smoother with this enabled - also safer for data integrity (this has nothing to do with superbrick bug)
    * Disable mali-400 tracking debug
    * Merged two stability hotplug patches from mainline Linux kernel
    * Added two modules to userpsace where one can see how many times the CPU was hotplugged in and hotplugged out: cat /sys/module/stand_hotplug/parameters/ cpu_up_nr and cat /sys/module/stand_hotplug/parameters/ cpu_down_nr
    * Removed overclocking at all - it was causing heat and stability issues. If you want OC use Tegrak app
    * Some config cleaning

    r5:
    * Added overclock to 1,6Ghz
    * Some fixups on cpufreq.c files on exynos arch directory
    * initramfs updated to CF-Root v5.6 - all props to Chainfire

    r4:
    * Some Wi-Fi driver fixes (might help fixing those obtaining IP derps)
    * Tons of warnings fixed for a more stable kernel - don't we all want a clean compilation?
    * Compiled with special compiler flags for some extra bits of performance
    * Fixed a section mismatch - this warnings are one of the worse kind and can possibly lead to big problems. This one is fixed

    r3
    * Removed MMC_CAP_ERASE - workaround to fix the superbrick bug - thanks Entropy512 for all the research and shared knowledge with us for this god damn bug
    * Re-activated dynamic hotplug - the system seems to run smoother with this option and according to Entropy it gives us lower idle drain specially while the system is holding a wakelock

    r2
    * Initramfs fixed - recovery works, CWM works etc

    r1
    * Based on Samsung update3 for ICS kernel 3.0.15 - it contains the hardbrick bug so flash at your own rish or just extract the zImage and to /data/local, fire up adb shell and type this: dd if=/data/local/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096 and then reboot
    * Contains all the features wrote above plus some small ****s available on my git
    * App will be updated in the next 12 hours with a full ICS layout plus tons of useful features. The current version won't load this new kernel version for ICS so don't bother checking it. I'll announce when the new app update is up

    F.A.Q:
    1. My device rebooted or crashed, how can I help?
    A: Get me /proc/last_kmsg or logcat.
    2. Battery sucks, my device is not entering deep sleep. FIX PLOX!
    A: Fix it yourself, it's an app waking your device up not the kernel's problem. Also make sure you let your device settle for at least 2 charging cycles. Typically apps like Facebook and Google Maps can cause problems since they wake it up pretty much all the time
    3. Signal is dropping since I flashed the kernel, amg u sucks!
    A: The kernel has nothing to do with gsm/cmda signal. Make sure you have the latest radios
    4. Do I need to wipe anything when flashing this kernel?
    A: No.
    5. Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
    A: Learn to read, everything you need to know is in the features list, changelog or public repo.
    6. Don't use 3rd party init.d scripts!!!

    franco.Kernel updater app for Galaxy Note features:
    #2.0
    * Completely re-written app
    * Ice Cream Sandwich theme
    * New CPU frequencies panel
    * Governor Control
    * Settings panel with Power Modes with my own specialized presets
    * XDA thread link in the menu button
    * Other settings and options

    I hope that my absence made my point clear. I will compile a proper new kernel and if I see dumb questions again I'll just stop building anything for this phone.
    38
    Ok I've had enough of dumb questions or ideas that have been jumping around so this is going to be a angry post before I stop coming here helping others with pertinent questions/suggestions:

    ****ING SEARCH. "AMG WIFI NO WARK PLZ i NIID WIFI SUCK KERNEL BUBAI". No, how about you search a god damn **** for the first time in your life? Certain firmwares are having problems with wifi connecting even with stock kernel so THAT IS NOT A KERNEL ISSUE. I've been running Wi-Fi like a mad man since the source was deployed and it WORKS. Some users have fixed it by reflashing with a different program or wiping or whatever. Just search for once.

    "HARDBRICK IS FIXED?!?!? PLX ANSWERZ ME NAO". Search the hell up. Thats one of the most covered topics in this thread or XDA in general. I've applied a workaround based on Entropy's suggestion and based on one Samsung engineer. It's NOT ****ing fixed, it's a workaround that might prevent it from happening. It's not confirmed. If you need more information search!!!

    "OMG HOW THIS COMPARES TO SPEEDMOD KARNEL OR STOCK KARNAL?!?! TELL NOW" . Try it and see for yourself. This Kernel might give you super god mode on your Note or might not. My usage is different than any of you, for me its god mode, for you might be something different. JUST STOP ASKING THIS!!

    "HOW DO I FLUSH THIS KARNAL?!??!?". If I see once more question like this **** I swear that I'll get you an infraction and reported to a moderator. IF you don't know how to ****ing flash then SEARCH. If you don't know how to search then bye.

    I'm pretty serious. If this surge of idiotic questions keep coming I won't post again here besides updating the OP when I feel like it. This is for everyone, don't bother crying, I don't care. Use your brain for once.

    Franco is that kind of guy i guess, he's just ignoring people when they report bug :), same thing was happening with his GB kernel #10, i think there was at least 100 people tellin him that he has a problem with SOD and what he did? Nothing, just ignored them :D
    I guess now it's the same thing with WiFi :)

    Sorry what are you implying? I have 3 ****ing kernels to manage and I actually provide full user support for the 3 of them not just post the kernels and kkthxbai.
    I also have apps to manage and fix which takes a ****ing lot of time.
    I do have a family and a girlfriend that actuly needs my attention as well.
    And im on university preparing my future.

    Yet with all the above I still manage to deploy quality work. Complain? Do better please.

    As for the wifi I said I have no issues. I cant reproduce I cant fix. I saw no logs no nothing only ****ing "amg no wifi fix plox".

    And now Im going to lunch with a friend on the beach. Have a nice day.

    Another big moment in Gnote history.

    @Galaxy Note™…

    I'm here. Time to go hardcore, I have a kernel and an app to re-program ;)
