[Kernel] OscarKernel [TW/6.0.1] [OC 2.8 GHz] [8/26/2016] [r13]

[ryanbg]

What is OscarKernel?
OscarKernel is a modified kernel based off of the stock kernel. It only runs on TouchWiz 6.0.1 ROMs for the Verizon Note 4. This kernel is built from stock CPD1 source. I keep my kernel very stable and simple, no flash and glitz, just a reliable and fast experience with some modern enhancements.
What toolchain do you use?
Christopher83's optimized Cortex-A15 Linaro 4.9 toolchain.
You can find it here

What features are in OscarKernel?

Rebased on latest VZW MM source
USB Fast Charge

Additional information:
Q: My phone won't remember my Wifi passwords, what's wrong?
A: You need to modify /system/build.prop to change this line:

ro.secure_storage=true

ro.secure_storage=false

Have a bug report to make?
I need to see the kernel log. To get a copy of your kernel log, follow these instructions using ADB:

adb shell
su
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/log.txt

Post them in the thread. Please do not clutter this thread with easily-answered questions or feature suggestions. This my personal kernel that I am sharing.

Thank you for this. I like the exceed kernel but wanted more gov options. This is perfect. I will test and let you know how it goes. I also found that intelliactivex is a great gov but I'm excited to try these

I'm using Jasmine 4.3 but I was stuck in a bootloop (Galaxy Note 4 screen) after flashing the kernel.
So I had to flash MultiSystem kernel again ^^

Yes, I did wipe cache and dalvik after flasing though.
Maybe I will try it again.
Currently I'm on stock rooted & emotion, I wonder if this kernel help me get more battery life...

Kernel is working well so far on PaulPizz with BPA1 firmware.

The only issue I'm having is unvervolting won't apply and throws the error: /res/synapse/actions//ovuv[1]: can't create /sys/kernel/krait_uv_info/krait_UV/: No such file or directory.

I can't manually create these directories either. Is this due to the kernel currently being set to SELinux enforcing?

Thanks again! It's working well, I'd just like to see if I could get it to run a touch cooler.

I had the problem with Jasmine on Xceed. I wonder if it isn't the radio? I didn't want to lose BPA1 which was a huge performance improvement over 5.0.1, so I never loaded the BOK3 baseband. (which is also 5.1.1, so that is kind of a dumb reason I guess, never mind).

 

[mexigga]

Just installed...no issues on PaulPizz rom.

Governor by default is interactive...not sure which is best just yet.

Am open to suggestions!

Hello @ryanbg. I'm so happy to see more developer's working on our n910v! I've been using Xceed kernel since build 2 for a while now on my n910v dev edition running jasmine rom 4.3.
Xceed Build 2 had the brightness bug (because I'm still on the 4.4 kit kat bootloader) @kairi_zeroblade fixed that in his build 3 vzw. The only issue I saw was a delay in opening the camera in any app and switching between the front and rear camera.
Just tried to install your Oscar kernel build .1 and got stuck on the samsung note 4 boot screen (says kernel in yellow font in top left) then reboots to same screen after about 10 seconds repeatedly.
I'm guessing this is because I'm still on the 4.4 bootloader. Is there a way to update that to the most current 5.1 one and keep root and the bootloader unlocked?
