This Kernel is for Sprint SM-G900P TouchWiz 4.4.2 - Based off NCB/ND2 Source

This is a simple kernel I built from NCB and ND2 source, to begin to give us some kernel options. It has some tweaks, and edits to ramdisk for NCB, and a little more work on the ND2



Features

-Increased Readahead
-Removed some logging/debugging
-Selinux Permissive
-Removed Knox parts from Ramdisk
-added init.d support
-Check Git for latest changelog, much more in ND2 v1.0a​


PROCEDURE
-Download Kernel and place on Phone internal/external Memory
-Reboot to a Custom Recovery (Twrp, Philz)
-Wipe Cache and Dalvik only
-Flash Kernel
-Reboot
-Let sit for a bit after booting to let settle​

Anyone else having core 0 and core 3 always on...I was expecting core 3 to go offline and it sits at 300 like core 0....I would expect only one core online while sleeping

I just checked the stock kernel and it is the same. 0 and 3 on and off while 1 and 2 are in sleep mode.

Slesh, think you could tweak core 3 to go offline when sleeping?

I would just suggest getting on one of my Rom releases. Knox is gone from that, just having Knox removed from kernel's Ramdisk doesnt remove it from Rom you're on so you will get that


Edit: are you referring to when phone boots? Or when

After the boot. It comes randomly when using my phone. It's all good I Google and just removed Knox with titanium. Thanks though! Kernel is good so far. Haven't messed with the govs yet

Oh ok, yes in that case also the SuperSu app can do that as well.
Good to hear

Been awhile since I've messed with this stuff...whats the new hottness in governors?

Im actually workin through em myself, things are a bit diff for me than the exynos' ive grown accustomed to. On those I would almost exclusively run pegasusq, but that is not the case now so im testing back and forth. Been giving Smartmax a go. I have a feeling unless we're using performance or conservative the biggest diff we'll see won't be battery life, but rather responsiveness etc under load, scaling between these govs is fairly diff

So I guess we'll just have to share as we go

What are you guys using to "tune" the kernel? Rom Toolbox? I used to use ktoonz app when i was on my s3.

AFAIK This is built from source, no rom toolboxes or kitchens used. But @sleshepic can correct me if I am wrong.

    Just an FYI, I'll be forking his repo and trying to prep his kernel for NE5 while he's on vacation.
    Hoping to get lucky and be able to just run a diff and apply as a patch to current one.

    But let's let him rest, he's earned it... ;)

    Are you gonna make a ND2 kernel? :good:

    Im sure there's prob not much of a diff. Was there anything "advertised" for the update aside from the small list mentioned? I dont even remember seeing a "other small fixes" anywhere making me think anyone even touched the kernel. Maybe im wrong. Will take a look at the source site when I get a min next
