Place the extracted 'kernel.bin.md5' in the internal sdcard
Open terminal emulator or adb shell and execute the following commands

$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
# reboot

Please test and report back..

My entire S Advance team consisting of :

To backup the original kernel and restore it,

Backup

$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/boot.bin
# reboot

Restore

$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
# reboot

Protip : After first boot, let the device run for 2-3 minutes. Do not use it. Then reboot the device. After the reboot, use the device.

Congatulation on your Team.
Short time we have a new kernel. :good:

Dont use the SWAP! Its not needed for devices with more than 512MB RAM! SD speed always slower than internal mmc, so you cant get faster overall rom speed!

This is Nice... hope you can add more features like Support for more Governors, I/O, Mali tweaks for better gaming performance, some "under-the-hood" tweaks to help improve the phone's speed, performance and battery life at the same time

I will try it once I flash JB

Keep up with the Good work!

Any progress on Over Clocking our phone..?

Did you reboot? And did you used "su" in terminal?

Problem solved, was unzipping issue.

Yes and Yes, tried now with adb shell, same result.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

I think your download is corrupt. Because of the 0 bytes

Confirming some problems with brightness. Even when it is on manual on 0 - sometimes it is bright when I unlock phone.

+1 yeah at unlockscreen but tipping auto 2 times helps

Mine USB OTG does not work, not even power usb devices (kingston flashdrive does not blink the led), and the cable is OK working at my boss Galaxy Note2.

And there is a bug with USB:

- If I connect with PC, the connection works, notification about usb connected keep at notification area even after disconnect, and anything USB related only works again after reboot (excluding charging).
- If it was anything OTG, nothing happens, and anything USB related only works again after reboot (excluding charging).


========edit===========

I do not want to do right now, I want to help test the kernel, but ...
How can I revert the installation ? Reflash ?

Aware of it. Its a light sensor problem. Don't have time to work on it currently. A bit busy with college work. Perhaps diego or cocafe will provide a new version. In this i wanted to try if otg works.

Can someone please confirm if otg works?

You make me reply in such a manner. There isn't a single mention of Odin in the op. Then why to even try using it in the first place?
