Quote:
touch interface:
- toggle between 4 touch modes: FULL TOUCH, DOUBLE TAP to validate and SEMI TOUCH (scroll but no touch validation) and NO TOUCH to only use hardware keys
- written from scratch full touch code
- safe full touch : no wrongly validations while scrolling
- when you set full touch mode, it defaults to optimized settings for menu height, scroll sensitivity and touch accuracy (you still can alter them manually later)
- adjust scroll sensitivity in a huge palette
- adjust menu height in a huge palette
- adjust touch accuracy
- 30 color settings for each of the 8 GUI parts + 5 alpha transparency settings
- user custom background png can be selected in addition to 30 solid colors option
- show / hide background icon
- show / hide bottom virtual buttons
- show/hide + set color and transparency for menu line separators to match solid color themes, like Black...
- set number of bottom log rows to show
- Friendly Log View and pause on logs: no more miss logs during zip installs
- auto dim screen after user configurable delay
- auto turn off screen after user configurable delay
- adjust brightness and turn off screen with a gesture action
- show/hide clock and remaining battery %, even during nandroid operations
- clock and battery stats now effectively refresh every 30 seconds and during nandroid operations
- toggle vibrator on/off on touch
- toggle key repeat for volume up/down scrolling when maintained pressed
- key repeat also enabled for virtual buttons
- set time zone + 30mn offset + DST: correct time can now be set for nandroid backup path and clock
- time setting is now applied to all recovery session, including timestamp of created/modified files (v4.92.3+)
- capture recovery screen shots with a gesture action
- one file to save all settings
- backup and restore settings file
- reset to default settings option
- prompt to restore your settings from a backup when they are wiped by a new ROM install
- option to auto restore your settings from a backup without a prompt
- all toggles are applied live, without restart of recovery (except reset of stock CWM background image)
- toggle menu options are automatically right aligned and menu text left aligned based on device display size
- configurable gesture actions: double tap, slide right/left, long press/lift, long press/move, can be associated with any of: show log, change brightness, blank screen, capture screen shot, launch Aroma File Manager
Note: after scroll, first touch will select only. After one sec of scrolling or on second touch, it will validate immeadiately. This is by design and not a bug. It is there to limit erroneous validation while scrolling
Read more about it here: Validation Lock after scrolling

What kernel to choose:
The important part is the Kernel code:
XWLPX-NEE
Kernel code is in red (LPX), for this example, you need an LPX ROM. However, often, you can mix kernels when they are close: LPF kernel with LPG ROM...
NEE code doesn't matter at all, I add it for reference. It is the CSC
XW: mixed, often doesn't matter for close regions. For example, XW and XX are often interchangeable. However, mixing a BU with an XW ROM or inversly, sometimes works, but often ends in a bootloop. In that case, either boot into recovery or download mode to reflash
Using the new MULTI-bootanimation feature ** v2.5 and later **
This is an original feature I introduced. Now you can put all your bootanimations on the phone. On each boot, it will play a different animation from your list.
If you do not install any bootanimation, the stock Samsung animation will play. Also, you can go with the old method of putting only one bootanimation.zip(bin) and it will play only that one. If you decide to go through the MULTI-bootanimations looper, follow below instructions:
name your bootanimations as follow: bootanimation1.zip(bin), bootanimation2.zip(bin)... bootanimationN.zip(bin)
put the zip files in "/data/local" or in "/system/media" folder. The bin animations must go into "/data/local"
reboot, and now, on each boot, it will magically scroll through your animations
priority is to "/data/local/bootanimation*.bin", then "/data/local/bootanimation*.zip" and finally "/system/media/bootanimation*.zip"
info: animation number to play on next boot is stored in "/data/local/bootanimation-loop.txt". If you delete some animations, you should also delete the "bootanimation-loop.txt". It will be reset on next boot. If not, stock Samsung anim could play if loop.txt contains a bigger number than your actual files. In that case, your playlist will be ignored until you delete the loop txt file.
FAQ
These are the top 5 posted questions
Quote:
Can you implement overclock, voltage control, voodoo, special drivers... ?
This is a stock kernel, not recompiled from source. It is only repacked with changes in ramdisk to add new features and an enhanced cwm based recovery. I do not have plans to start building kernels from source. There are big names in the scene already doing a great job there.
Why I can't see your kernel version Phone / About dialog ?
That's how stock kernels behave. Version info is in build.prop and comes with the ROM. I can add it but won't as it is that way that stock kernels are supposed to work.
You can know the exact kernel version by typing in terminal: getprop
Also, in my recovery, there is an About dialog to give you more info about actual recovery which is also tight to kernel
Why your kernel drains more battery ?
It cannot be. It will act like stock kernel, not better, not worst
Does your kernel perform better than stock ?
Same answer as previous
Why sometimes I need to touch twice to validate an option in recovery ?
This is by design and not a bug. A special feature I added is the option to highlight/validate touched menu. After you scroll in a menu, your first touch will act as select without validation. This is to avoid any false validation during scroll, the worst limitation for many of the actual touch recoveries including original one
Will you implement exFAT support in recovery ?
It is done now, but only for JB as it supports exFat
You found a bug and want to report it:
Before posting about bugs concerning bootloops, kernel not working or recovery issues, please keep this in mind:
Quote:
this is a pure stock kernel, kernel is just same as stock, except binary patching MMC_CAP_ERASE
if you have issues such as bootloop, first, try to flash the original stock zImage to see if you still have same issues as with my kernel
some custom kernels do not update your build.prop, it is the case with my kernel, as it is a stock kernel. I can add it, but won't for many specific reasons. You can flash a LR9 kernel on a LRT ROM, you will still see LRT in your phone/about. That's also true if you flash a Samsung genuine kernel on a different ROM. So, if you flashed many kernels before, be sure to know on what ROM you are and check potential compatibility issues between kernels in post 2
Before asking for support:
Quote:
Make sure your issue is recovery related
All external sdcard issues: first format in PC with primary partition, tons of people are formatting as logical and come cry
Reproduce your issue and while in recovery:
Go to Advanced / Report Error
Copy the /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log and attach it here
Give detailed info about your issues
Without these, there is little chance I can help you, so, do not get mad if I do not answer
Recovery (.zip) packages instructions - Will also root your phone * recommanded method *
They come in the form of -signed.zip files that can be flashed in stock recovery 3e: No Yellow Triangle
Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM
Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Select "apply update from external storage".
Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step
You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6
Odin packages instructions: ready for root
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file
download one of the two bootanimations (the simplistic one is worth it)
extract the rar contents : bootanimation.zip file, do not extract the zip file
put the bootanimation.zip file in your /system/media or /data/local folder
on reboot, you get the new animation.
to reset to samsung animation, just delete the bootanimation.zip
< The ZIP version is rooted and can be flashed in stock recovery without yellow triangle > Note: you can skip superuser installation when flashing using a config file: read this post to know how to use it
Request :
If your kernel is not listed above, OR you want to request when new ROM released, post your request with
ROM build version, CSC code as well better if you port zImage file and upload. this will make easy for developer.
Whatever request i see, will update here to this post so Phill can easily locate it. So before posting request, make sure this post doesn't have pending request already for kernel you are looking for.

Report :
As we know this kernel is pure stock kernel + patched mmc earse command + edit Ramdisk
so, posting regarding score(card)of ubuntoo (watever it call ) or quadrant score have nothing to do. Battery management/performance will same as on stock kernel.
Again input battery statistics or comparing with other custom kernel having no meaning. B'coz this is stock kernel and it will be same as stock kernel, no more no less. So kindly avoid such kind of discuss. Right now Phill have not indicate to add tweak to kernel, so no meaning to put request for under/overclocking and so and so. For this you always have choice for custom kernel, there are already nice custom kernels are available on development section. This is only for people want pure stock kernel but patched brick bug with added recovery function. That's it. Please don't ask/describe here anything which is not related to this kernel. such posting will be consider offending and will be reported to moderator, which i don't like really.
Hope we never need moderator to look into this thread.
Thanks for co operation and Wish you happy flashing.
