friedrich420 is building for the same device. It may be good to make friends.

Thank you very much twistedumbrella. Now I understand everything. Regards.

Ah yes, I was where you were Pafcholini. What twistedumbrella fails to mention is that he has also awesomely provided everything you need to build the kernel, at least for OS X users. :good: Clone his build-tools repo, then just look at his scripts in the kernel repo, including the ones in buildimg/ and you'll quickly see what needs to be done to make your kernel boot. If you're on another OS you might need different build tools, but they should be easy to find elsewhere. Also, if you're on OS X, he also has a repo for the 4.7 toolchain on his github.

And some advice: many tutorials for other devices will tell you to point the input of dtbtool to arch/arm/boot/ but this kernel needs arch/arm/boot/dts (or out/arch/arm/dts if you're using an output directory).

Ffolkes thanks for the tips. Btw, nice to see you in this forum.

Hear ye! Hear me!

That was unnecessary, BUT the new versions are being compiled that have both hardlimit AND other frequencies working. Hardlimit has been neutered in some sense. The capability to set limits and have them abided by for the screen, boost, etc is there. Some CPU checks that lead to the deep sleep issue and do not appear to serve a real purpose have been disabled. They can be reenabled using a flashy new sysfs, but you will most likely get your device stuck in sleep if you do.
Code: 
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq_hardlimit/hardlimit_user_enforced
The issue, for those of you interested, was

Are the hardlimit screen off and screen on frequencies still reversed?

Out of curiosity, why is overclocking limited to 2.8 GHz? Just wondering.

The stock kernel is 2.7, the stock source is only 2.5, so 2.8 seemed to still be within safe operating range. Also the voltage tables were a bit high towards the top so they still supported the frequency, but going any higher would mean making up new voltages. That is a whole new instability.

Hmm I set a max at 2496, but seems like setcpu shows the phone going beyond the max (for example showing 2800).
Is this suppose to happen? I'm on today's t-mobile build.

also had a random reboot which did not boot into homescreen.
Had to do a battery pull and boot into recovery and then boot into system.

Pushing out yet another update shortly. The changes weren't part of the last one in case they went south.
Lowered some of the higher and lower end voltages. Reworked hardlimit a little further. Cleaned up from all of the recent hoopla.
The changes are mainly in the 1.9 to 2.5 range and so far haven't caused any reboots. The DTSI commit is the one for voltages.

Folks seemed to have missed the statement that this kernel is in testing/development stage. If you cannot handle bugs and don't have great backup in case the worst case scenario occurs, you probably shouldn't be testing. TwistedUmbrella keep up the good work.

I think most people expect a middle finger when someone says to check the Q & A (probably because I hear devs treat it like being exiled). Mine is an index finger, as in "please go there so I can keep the people trying to build separate from the people trying to do stuff on the phone"

Works great only problem I have is in Micellanious on faux clock keeps resetting to Hybrid when i want to enable userspace.It works i just have to keep selecting it on reboot.All settings save except this one I have to manually keep changing.

Enable it through sys, reboot, see if it sticks, if not then you'll know where the problem lies in. Although that probably wouldn't be constant either. but wgaf, just re enable it after a boot. Big deal

Part of the reason for trying to send everyone off to question and answer threads is that more room needed to be freed up here to get others building custom kernels.
Lack of selection, kernel issues caused by injecting foreign versions into local builds, and many other issues can be easily solved if developers had the tools and information to build a kernel that fit the desired purpose.
Sure it is fun being THE custom kernel in North America, but I don't keep my source current to the minute because xda demands it. I do it because my progress is everyone's progress.

I just want to say thanks for all of your hard work. I love having a custom kernel and am thankful that you have started the process. I know other developers will follow suit but I really like where this project is going.

    Welcome to the first custom kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.​
    Providing instability to the masses since October 21, 2014​
    ​

    This kernel currently supports most North American carriers. Automatic selection is provided through the use of specialized recovery packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.

    Mereology (from the Greek μερος, ‘part’) is the theory of parthood relations: of the relations of part to whole and the relations of part to part within a whole. I do not take responsibility for anything these days, but I'll try to do my part and help.

    Installing N910T ROMs on N910W8
    1. Start with NJ3 stock firmware
    2. Odin Flash CF-AutoRoot
    3. Odin Flash TWRP
    4. Make a full backup
    5. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik-cache
    6. Install N910T Rom
    7. Reboot System
    8. Reboot Recovery
    9. Install Stockish / Deported
    10. Reboot System
    11. Thank force70 for the guide

    Known Issues:
    DVFS set to ignore and secure storage disabled often resolve the lag. If you need either of these, stock / stockish are required.

    Warning: I only have the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Note 4

    Will be nice if you can provide two different build. One without all the fancy things that some people wont have use for, such as overclocking, close to stock as possible but still provide stability, smoothness, and better battery life.
    Some kernel makers just slap everything they can onto a kernel and in the long wrong, it is simply instable or provide hicups (that they will never own up to lol)

    I don't provide anything I wouldn't run on my own device. If you want it to be stock, vote for stock. If that is what wins, that is what I will build. It is enough to provide a single kernel for a bunch of devices without trying to keep track of per-device versions. I slap everything I can onto a kernel, test it, then delete or fix the broken stuff. My github is always current and anything I changed is clearly published to point the finger at whoever it needs to be pointed at.
