Firestorm Kernel V3 Preview

[Maqical]

Here's whats been going on, I have been working on Firestorm very limited amount due to two insanely hard college classes, with volunteering hours again this semester for my Internship.

V4 is looking like this;
Back to EPH2 Sources
Still sabermod
Sweep 2 Wake & Sweep 2 Sleep (fixed by me) but also removed by me due to the fact I don't like the way Sweep 2 Sleep is handled and touchbox is very small
Replaced Sweep 2 Sleep With Pressing both captive buttons (home and back) at the same time = sleep
Some general fixes
Less time to enter deep sleep
A few battery tweaks
Full Synapse support for flat and edge
Played with some LMK and Ram settings

The reason I have been MIA is indeed school, I also received my new screen in the mail today and have to replace it later this evening or tomorrow.

Honestly when I say I am working on something or a fix, and haven't released it due to it not being fully tested, I have lost quite a bit of motivation when I am trying my best to create a flawless kernel at how I like it, and create patches and fixes to get some originality for me and someone else does it and it ends up not even working.

I will finish developing for the S6 and S6 Edge as I got a pm and was told I had the only working Edge kernel outside of TMO edge models? I am interested in the New Google Nexus device and will probably be getting it as my next because I want to expand my knowledge, and with all the new phones becoming locked, I think Nexus is the way to go for me.

I will still blind build a few updates once that device comes out (probably a few months) But this will eventually stop especially with things that have been going on, my motivation is at maybe a 10% now.

It's good to hear from you, its been a while! Take your time, it'll be all worth it in the end. Although, I might have issues with the sweep 2 sleep change you made since my capacitive buttons actually act up, a toggle for the mod would be nice, if possible.

Glad to hear that your new screen came in as well. And I might be getting the new Nexus device or the OnePlus 3 very soon.

I'll see what I can do about a toggle maybe, although I think it's 1 or the other.. I'll mess with it.

After hearing horror stories about OnePlus devices, I'm just gonna go nexus, so much more development and first to get updates on Android

Yeah, I'm waiting for the Nexus launch first then I'll decide then. I'll still be able to help out on s6 edge for awhile when I get a new device, since I'm going to keep it for a little bit.

Anyways, thanks for looking for a solution to the sweep 2 sleep. :good: I'm starting to get irritated by my s6 edge always spamming the multiwindow button all the time.

Update should be released by the end of this week.

I'm really just working on fixing this one annoying bug, where the screen goes black unless you open Synapse as soon as the phone turns on.

 

[Maqical]

Update might be a bit longer.. some personal stuff came up. If anything, I will just make sure synapse is fixed for edge users and post what I already have.. because I don't wanna leave your guys without.

Take your time! Im so excited i can hardly wait!

We're all very excited and appreciative. Take your time. Thanks!

Update should be in about a week, maybe two, depending on how much time I have and problems I run into..

The reason why is;

I'm doing a complete rebuild with new methods of the way stuff is managed and handled, so my kernel can no longer be called a "clone"

If you guys can't notice the drama did really put a lack on my motivation, I was pumping out builds after build, trying to fix stuff.. updating asap.

I have completely gutted my project, and my files and starting fresh and new..

Update will be well worth it, and I'll reach out to my testers when time may be, but I think I will stick to my personal testing, because alot of you really like what I choose how my kernel runs and does at my preference and the only way I can do that.. is well.. me trying new stuff and testing it lol.

The update I already had planned for V4 is nice.. Everything all ironed out except 2 bugs.

V4.1 should be bugfree, and perfect for everyones usage the way they want to use their device and stable with newest sources.

Thank you everyone for being extremely understanding and waiting quite awhile. But, it will be worth it.

Loving this kernel buddy! Lionheart gov runs pretty balanced and smooth on my W8 flat running OZOP. What's everybody else driving daily? Read ahead 2048, GPU interactive 700.

Project isn't dead or I'm not just MIA, been running my improved v4.. or should I say v5.

Everything has been great with my changes so nothing keeps it in the way from being the same as other kernels.

Not updating the thread because there is new Samsung sources and I'm waiting to get them to merge my changes to them, and I'll update.. only reason I haven't posted them yet guys.

Also, I pre-ordered a nexus pixel XL today, will be moving onto that, but keeping this updated for a few months until it just dies.

Hope maybe atleast a few of you also have pre-ordered and will see some not so strangers in those forums.

Awesome man! Looking forward to v5, thank you for the continued effort andsupport. I'm getting that upgrade itch my damn self but so far away, working my butt off to get there. Pixel looks like an IPhone from the renders, why does most new devices have that IPhone look? Hope studies are going great for ya, appreciate your time man, Thank you!

Yup, I feel it, I only got it because you can just pay for it monthly with Google store.

As soon as samsung sends me the sources.. update will be ready

 

[Maqical]

Got some big stuff planned for you guys for sure.

My best release so far.. will be up by the 16th (Next Sunday) Latest, since I really only have weekends to work, I hit a great discovery and this update I just can't keep for myself anymore!

Promise you guys 105%, V4.5 by then.

Been working my as$ off.
