This kernel is based on Semaphore Kernel by stratosk with a few changes I felt to be missing in Semaphore.

This kernel combines the speed and stability of semaphore along with few additions for the best combination.

It is compatible with all KK 4.4 ROMs based on official CM10.2 layout.
Kernel versions 3.3.0 and lower are compatible with JB 4.3.x.
Kernel versions 2.9.0 and lower are compatible with JB 4.2.x.

Differences with Semaphore

Entropy tweaks
Patched for 720p usage
Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) enabled
ZRAM enabled as module (usable via init.d script, attached below)
SWAP enabled
FRANDOM module included
Some Kernel Debug related stuff disabled
Wheatley Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
Intellidemand Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
Lulzactive Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
Lazy Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
Lagfree Governor added (select via Setting->Performance-> CPU)
Load_freq(4*HZ+61) to avoid Loadavg Moire
A bit more RAM ( 1MB more )
Read Ahead increased to 1024kB max
Using Neon instead of SoftVFP
Ondemand , Conservative , smartassv2 , lulzactive , lazy and interactive tweaked
ROW , SIO , SIOPlus , Deadline , BFQ and CFQ Scheduler tweaked
Normal OC Steps ( upto 1400MHz )
XZ Compression for Kernel and initramfs
Optimized AES and SHA1 routines
CPU Unaligned Access
TUN enabled by default
Block and ROW improvements
BFQ IO Scheduler
FIFO IO Scheduler
ZEN IO Scheduler
VR IO Scheduler
SIOPlus IO Scheduler
EXT4 patches
Other optimizations
Selective Live OC
ROW Updates
SIOPlus tweaks
Optimized Flags
SQLB Memory Allocator
GPU Driver updates
WiFi Driver updates
RCU updates
Disabled SAI
Dynamic Dirty Page Writebacks
TCP Tweaks
ION Patches


General Features
Based on Linux Kernel 3.0.101 and Semaphore 3.4.0s
397-409MB Usable RAM
Live OC ( Upto 130% )
Compiled with Cortex A8 Optimized Linaro GCC Toolchain

Point to note
Ticking BigMem will break 720p recording

It is compatible with all JB 4.2.x ROMs based on official CM10.1 layout.

General Features


Thanks to
Stratosk for his source and help
All people on stratosk's list

Point to note
In S Version , Hugemem Libs must be flashed for 720p record to work
In both versions , ticking bigmem will break 720p recording.
Tar version must be flashed with Odin/Heimdall , zip with CWM/TWRP.

I expect to get more features in the differences soon, including ISO CDROM functionality , normal OC ( upto 1400MHz ) and other features.

This build will be updated when stratosk makes new version , or when I have lots of new additions.

All bug report of this kernel must be posted in this thread , please do not disturb stratosk regarding this kernel.

Please use it at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your device.

Can you explain about the xz compression & arm... that meanings?

AW: [JB 4.2][KERNEL] Semaphore Plus

ARM Coresight is a tool used to debug and trace issues in ARM based processors. It unnecessarily adds a load to the CPU , so I disabled it.

For XZ Compression you can read it here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz

I once asked Stratos why he doesn't use xz, and he told me that he uses a better compression method. Anyways, good job and have fun with further development of your kernel!

Thanks for the info . I will try both and decide then.
I am going to upload build which will change the name of the kernel to something else, as stratosk doesnt want the name Semaphore in the kernel.

Re: [JB 4.2][KERNEL] Unofficial Semaphore+ (name to be changed soon)

Oh... So this is what you pm'ed me about. I see. So, is there gonna be a nolvm version?

Awesomenesss!!!

Can semaphore manager be used with this kernel and also dies it have auto brightness like the original semaphore kernel. By the way good job m8

    Hi ts1506,

    Good luck with your new project.
    I would like to note that you may delete (if you want) this difference from your OP:
    'ARM Coresight disabled'

    Semaphore has disabled this feature.
