I thought and I decided not to deal with vt and framebuffer. I wanted to make something i would use myself. I'm not sure I will use CM or linux on this tablet. So I unlikely will do and maintain them.
My goal is to show other rom makers that they can do something with it.
I tried to compile kernel to this tab and did it with success. That's all what I needed for now.
That's very understandable, as long as you release your sources may we create a fork (for those of us who need it) of your kernel upon which VT is enabled? It's kind of a big deal to some of us.

As for "making use of it", is not that hard, once you've set a chroot environment (done the proper remounts, have the right partitions and permissions) you merely have to output its gui to the Framebuffer (FB0).

The commands are quite specific and one can learn them, thankfully it has all been rolled in one app by the guys of "Linux Deploy". So -literally- one has *nothing* to do apart from selecting the right options and *boom* LinuxDeploy creates a working image all with pen support (and through xorg.conf editing, you can include every other input device imaginable)...

Here's the link to this marvelous app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy&hl=en

edit: I also own a Note 10.1 2014 tablet, and there it works like a charm. If you wish I can post a guide on how to run native Linux Gui on Android, however I would prefer (first) that I will have a VT enabled kernel to play with so that to see whether I would need to do some things a bit differently on 12.2 than on 10.1 (even though all must be the same).

I've never heard about this apk before. I thought about native installation as on devboards like odroid.
A native installation would demand to be booted separately, outputting to android's framebuffer nets very similar results without having to boot to a different OS, this is what I find very interesting.

Of course it can be converted to a native installation running of the SD card but I haven't found such a need yet for my note 10.1, it runs wonderfully without ever needing to reboot, you open the app which pauses android's GUI, then starts Linux's gui, loads the devices and voila!

As I said I haven't yet tried it to Note 12.2 for the simple reason that I had no such kernel, which is why I would like to have one now (or at least its sources).

Having said that you ought to try it, I have yet to find a downside to this method, especially given that simply logging out from Linux is enough to revert to android (2 secs) instead of having to perform a full-fledged reboot.

no, I updated to 0.9 and YouTube still won't load anything. internet works fine everywhere but in YouTube.

I use it every day and never had this problem until the kernel. I tried clearing the app's data, same problem

edit: OC/UV is missing in 0.9
I dont know how to help you as I haven't faced this problem. Try to reinstall youtube maybe... maybe you use some xposed mods

Edit: found this advice: try to remove with titanium backup or similar program google services. Then open youtube. Youtube reinstalls google services again and must works fine.

I uninstalled the app's update and it worked. reinstalled the update and broke again. I guess I updated it around the same time as installing your kernel

I rarely update any of Google's apps because of all the permissions they want

....but OC and UV is missing in 0.9

How do you adjust things in this Kernel? I tried loading the Synapse app from the play store, but it says, "UCI Support not detected." Is this normal for the basic version of the kernel? I was trying to use Synapse because the Kernel this is based on (SkyHigh kernel 1.6) is supposed to use Synapse....

I apologize if this isn't an appropriate question. Would someone mind posting the installation instructions. I'm not a total noob but just want to make sure I get the full effect of OP's hard work and not be crying about brickness/x, y, isn't working/etc.

important: knox warranty void will be 0x1

1. root your device
2. flash custom recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706982 )
3. flash kernel through custom recovery
