BA2X 2.0_r1

The time has come... for the successor of SeannyM's BA2X kernels! BA2X 2.0 is based off of SeannyM's BA2X source, which is in turn based off of stock source, so BA2X 2.0 is like the grandchild of Grandpa Sammy. Don't know why, but I feel the need to keep that last sentence. Anyways, included in BA2X 2.0 is the following:
  • More CPU governors and schedulers
    - Added SavagedZen, InteractiveX, lulzactive governors
    - Added deadline scheduler (it was actually disabled in the kernel source, so I enabled it)
  • Disabled Loadable Kernel Module Authentication (lkmauth)
  • Frandom entropy generator module enabled on boot (in init.rc)
  • Vsync enabled (in init.rc)
  • USB Mass Storage enabled
  • Built with Sabermod 4.7.4 GCC toolchain = super smooth w. optimization
You can download it here. I've only made a version clocked at 1.21 GHz for now because I think that's before the "wall" that most people hit. You may request an alternate frequency, but I may only make it for you when I have time (I won't go out of my way unless you're requesting a lower frequency because your device won't boot with this frequency). Happy holidays! BTW, Mod Pack II X v0.6.2 is out now too! I suppose I'm going to take up BA2X as a new project for this device alongside Mod Pack II X. I've got plenty more to do for both, and I think I might try building some ROMs in the new year...

NOTE: THE DOWNLOAD LINK ABOVE IS FOR STOCK ROM. IF YOU WISH TO USE BA2X 2.0 FOR CYANOGENMOD (10.2/11 and maybe 10.1), DOWNLOAD THIS PACKAGE AND INSTALL IT VIA CWM.

EDIT - I will put up a link for BA2X 2.0 for CM as soon as I get to making a working one, which requires that I find a suitable toolchain version. I'm a human being, so don't expect me to feel like pumping out stuff all the time.

Will you make one for CyanogenMod?

It's a Christmas miracle!

...but seriously, thank you! I'm charging my phone so I can flash it now!

Edit: Flashed it, works great, thanks!

Well, I forgot it's meant for stock ROM and flashed it over CM10.2. On reboot, it optimized all of my apps, and now all I can see is "Launching apps" dialog :D
I'm curious if it will boot eventually (so lucky I did a backup just today earlier :D ).

According to a recent PM with SeannyM, I can use the included cyanogenmod_kylessopen_defconfig to build for both CM11 and CM10.2. Now, I'm not sure if it'll work, and I haven't tested it, but you can download BA2X 2.0 for CM here. I've applied the same modifications, so it should have the same stuff as the stock BA2X 2.0 kernel I just released. If not or if it doesn't boot, let me know.

Just to clarify, does it include CM 10.1?

Unfortunately, 15 mins of "Launching apps" doesn't seem to me like it's going to run so, for now I'm reverting to Seanny's kernel but I'd love to see working BA2X 2.0 on CM10.2 ;)

I've found out the cause of why BA2X 2.0 for CM didn't work for @jonypx09 and @Brachacz - it's all the ramdisk chutzpah! I used the one designed for stock ROM, and I also merged it (with the zImage to get a boot.img) with some values designed for stock. I think I've fixed my errors. Anybody who's tried the BA2X 2.0 for CM, please try this one. It should work. If not, let me know.

You running Australia ROM DEODEXED? Probably not, because I've seen the exact same problem come up for people who weren't deodexed.

After flashing this I get, what I think it is, a bootloop, only I don't have any animation (I didn't have the bootanimation with earlier BA2X 2.0 CM kernel either) but empty, black screen (that is turned on). It won't get past it. :(

Realized my mistake - Kitkat stuff can't be compiled with certain toolchains (such as Sabermod GCC 4.7.4 which I use). I'm too tired to do it today, but I could download the official prebuilt toolchain for Kitkat from AOSP source code. I feel like it's going to be a bother to have to switch the toolchain version back and forth when switching between kernel compilations for stock ROM and CM. Anybody else want to take over maintaining of CM BA2X? I have all my source uploaded on Github (user name is Codename13) and I could guide you if you're lost.

Don't worry, only do it if you have the time; I'm in no rush to get your kernel.

so random question... for christmas I recieved a telemax 5v 1a power bank... it charges everything EXCEPT this phone, tried a asus nexus tablet, an iphone 5, an htc one v, an ipod... everything works but this phone... is there something wrong with the phone? I currently have seany m's most up to date cm11 rom, and i had overclocked it, but the re-flashed the rom when it wouldn't charge, to remove the overclock... or would it still be overclocked, and is that affecting the charging speed?

If it uses an external USB cord to plug your device in, try using your samsung cord, not the one included with power bank.

Doesn't seem to help.... No charging symbol appears and the charge pack doesn't stay on like it does with every thing else

    I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I won't be able to provide you guys with a build of OmniROM 5.0 before the end of the year. I would love to just release the alpha build out into the wild, but literally nothing is working (no audio, no WiFi, some force closes) so I would rather wait until I fix up a few of the issues. Fortunately, I do have a bit of a treat for you. I have a near-perfect build of OmniROM 4.4.4 for you. By near-perfect, I mean that everything is working except for Bluetooth, full camera resolution, and rendering images in native Chromium webview. Everything else should be working. I don't think that there are any other significant changes in this build compared to the previous one I uploaded back in October. If I have time to work on OmniROM 4.4.4 in the coming new year though, I will try to get things working nicely with ION. For now, you can download the new build of OmniROM 4.4.4 here. Happy holidays and have a great new year! Long live the Ace II X!

    How to root the GT-S7560 Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X

    Okay so I rooted the GT-S7560 or the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X using the Duos method mentioned in this thread. This phone is showing up everywhere in Canada right now through the usual channels and I wanted to clarify the process a bit for others who stumble upon this thread. I have attached a zip file containing the files I used and a word doc with instructions. It's the same as the Galaxy Duos except for entering recovery I could not figure out the button configuration to do it so I used ADB and sent the reboot recovery command. I later learned the vol button is a rocker and to press the center of the vol button the power and home all at the same time to enter recovery.

    I seek no credit, just trying to make it easier for the next.

    I have tested root on a couple of apps and everything seems to working great with no issues.

    BA2X 2.0 release 2!

    There comes a time, when people still on stock, are left out on the awesomeness of a slightly newer kernel version. Luckily, BA2X 2.0 has come to the rescue - it's been patched up to Linux kernel version 3.0.31, so it's consistent with CM. I've decided to make the default max frequency set as 1152 MHz, just because I don't feel like making custom frequencies for many different people. I think the most common wall that people hit with CPU frequencies is 1200 MHz, so I've lowered it just a smidge before that. If anyone faces any problems, let me know. I'll be uploading the updated sources to Github shortly, so you can indulge in them if you're that type of person. Besides a newer kernel version, there are a few other little changes to bring it more in line with the CM10.2 version of BA2X 2.0. Most notably, the GPU has been given the overclock treatment - there are 3 GPU frequencies for the system to throttle through - 100 MHz, 200 MHz, and 300 MHz. Battery life shouldn't be too bad, in fact it should/might be a bit better. You can download BA2X 2.0_r2 here. And if you don't like it, you can uninstall it using this flashable zip. The uninstall package installs the stock kernel and modules from the latest Canadian 'NA5 firmware so if you are having any issues even after installing the uninstall package, take the appropriate boot.img and /system/lib/modules folder from a ROM that works fine for you.

    I don't know why, but I seem to only get AnTuTu benchmark scores of around 4700. It might be because I lowered the minimum GPU clock speed to 100 MHz. Or it might just be that I have too many resource-hogging apps installed :p Just for safe-keeping, you can download the previous release of BA2X 2.0 here. Can someone post their AnTuTu scores on BA2X 2.0_r2?

    The next release of BA2X 2.0 will probably include something drastic new change, in a good way, because I cannot think of any other little modifications to do to the kernel source, so I'll have to try some bigger things. I don't want to be a downer if I can't deliver but personally, I wouldn't mind BLN, user-definable GPU clocking, f2fs support, and another kernel version upgrade would be nice too. I'll try my best when the time comes, and I'll see what I can whip up to make an Even Better Ace 2 X kernel... :D

    EDIT - The above download link is for BA2X 2.0_r2 with a maximum clock of 1152 MHz. Other frequencies can be downloaded below:
    1114 MHz
    1209 MHz
    1267 MHz
    1305 MHz
