For Lollipop 5.1.1 only! ​

UniKernel Features
- Supports F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
- Supports 920FS, ID and SD Dual SIM devices
- All edge screen special functions on Edge devices working
- Built from official Samsung Sources
- Full init.d scripting support
- SE Linux set to permissive (will prevent private mode from working)
- Stock Clocks
- Fully working Auto-Root for all 5.1.1 roms
- BusyBox injection if not detected in ROM
- DriveDroid support
- CIFS / FUSE

Kernel Configuration
The TWRP flashable kernel now comes with an Aroma installer, allowing you to choose a configuration you prefer. It also comes with 3 preset options - Stock, Performance, and Battery.

The Stock preset will make the kernel behave exactly as a stock kernel - no turbo mode, CFQ scheduler, stock interactive
If no pre-existing configuration file is found on the phone, (ie - New ROM flash) the ODIN flashable kernel will also have stock behaviour.

Every Aroma option is clearly labelled with an accurate description of what the setting will change. You are free to reflash to change configurations or manually edit the /system/unikernel.prop file that is generated by the installer (and then reboot). If you choose either the performance or custom options and enable Turbo mode, do not post in this thread about poor battery life. Turbo mode costs battery. deal with it

Okay tried on the Canadian 920W8 and no call audio and Network Settings gets replaced with Sim Card Manager. LTE icon doesn't show anymore but data works!

Yeah, to be expected. the defconfig in the kernel sources I used was specific to the international versions only. I will need to download the sources for the T variant (and maybe W8) and examine them for file differences and defconfig differences. gonna take some time. However, i I can build a working one its easy to build 2 simultanoeusly for upload in the future. only takes 5 mins per kernel.

thanks for testing though!

So far no problem at all. Good work. I hope that some talented dev could port to our galaxy savoca color calibration... Thanks.

I don't see ktoonsez in your credits. Since you copied his voltage control.

1) not released yet
2) originator is on the github commit
3) is actually made by Andrei lux

There is no need to credit every kernel contributor in existence especially if those commits are tagged

Um. ktoonsez spent hours trying to get the voltage control to actually apply. It was being overridden by touchjizz rom on every boot. I was one of his testers. It took about 4 hours. It wasnt just a copy paste.

that may well be the case. however, as I said previously, the commits on my github from today are on code that has not been released yet. You can see the released kernel with the defconfig v01a commit and comment (last one pushed yesterday)

perhaps im using voltage control sysfs for some internal testing? maybe ill remove it before release? maybe i am going to release it in the future? maybe i would have given credit, as I have everyone else on the *curerntly released* code.

I will not enter into any further discussions with you on this matter. If you wish to report my thread please do go ahead. as it stands right now, i am 100% in compliance with both the stickies at the top of this very thread and XDAs very clear GPL rules.

OK everyone

After a bit of a delay due to computer issues, i have a new kernel ready for beta testing. Anyone interested?

Built in OC to 1.6GHz on .LITTLE and 2.3GHz on .big cores
lots of fixes and boosts
very very smooooooth

sure ill have a beta up for you guys later tonight

ok, beta kernel time!

download here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952601582

some changelog:
BFQ scheduler default
increased bus frequency on apollo and atlas cores
enabled Mali 772Mhz GPU maximum
lots of kernel patches
framework for fixed overclock implementd (though not enabled in this build)
reduced readahead (is actually faster)
tweaked interactive and ondemand governors - interactive is now default again

please test for general stability and performance, I will released a overclocked version soon maybe
