This is a direct port of my kernel on the international I9300 Galaxy S3 and sidekick to the international N7100/5 Note 2 kernels.

Recap of features:
  • CPU overclocking up to 1.8GHz and undervolting from 600mV to 1400mV.
  • GPU overclocking and undervolting.
  • GPU scaling reworked.
  • Screen sharpness and colour modifications.
  • Extended Pegasusq and improved Performance governors.
  • Removed Touch Booster and replaced with custom Flexrate mechanic.
  • Improved scheduler power management for improved idle residencies on auxiliary CPUs.
  • USB charging rate limit increased to 900mA.
  • Application for control of various settings.

This is supposed to be merely a proxy thread. Please refer to the N7100/5 thread for full changelogs, explanations, bug-reports and other issues. Kernel for specific device versions will be posted here.

This kernel is for the North American Sprint variant SPH-L900. Versions for other variants are found in their respective forums.

This is awesome, I was just wondering if we there was going to be a lack of original development on the carrier specific models. Thanks a lot for this AndreiLux, and thanks for testing Viperboy.

So you can just flash it through twrp like when flashing a rom. There is a tar file and than a cwm zip file.
Would i use the zip if flashing with twrp?

So is there ever any reason one would need odin

I just flashed it via twrp. Working good so far. Use the zip.

Yes the zip is for CWM/TWRP and the .tar is for Odin. In my case I had to use Odin to flash the insecure boot.img before able to install a custom recovery, if there is another way I am not aware, Not sure how Chainfires tool does it.

Awesome! Thanks. Why does oc stop at 1.8 though?

I asked about this as well. Some phones can handle 1.9 or 2.0 but the voltage bump was a little bit much. Stock highest voltage is like 1312mv, I think AndreiLux said. Don't wanna overvolt too much.

I think I'm noticing touchscreen issues. I have to smash my finger to make it see the touch. When scrolling I have to tap and wait .1 seconds before swiping otherwise nothing happens. This is very noticeable in things like the browser.

Hmm, no issue here.

Didn't think this thing could get faster, installed this and was blown away. Can't wait to check my battery stats tomorrow and see how it does.

    Re: [Kernel][Jan 31] Perseus

    Hello, this is OP chiming in.
    Yeah, not sure what happened there, but figured you should get a legit answer to a legit question. For reference 32.1 IS based on ma5
    You're an idiot. Several people corrected you and you're still trying to convey something completely false as a hard fact.

    No, the kernel is not based on any firmware.

    And for a bit of education: Complied kernels are based on source code. In the case of Samsung that may mean a specific firmware from which the source drop may have originated from. However for me and for this kernel that is false since I haven't used a pure source drop in 4+ months, and the current kernel is a conglomeration of S3, N2 and Note 10.1 sources.

    And, as somebody else mentioned already, Samsung kernels are ROM agnostic. Unless there are big changes in the kernel APIs, which happen once in a while on major versions of Android and ROM build. And this also answers people's question "will this run on XXYZ?", yes it will. (Except AOSP)
