Sounds great and now that it works what happens if you apply again the L1 patch? Will it stay on L1 or will it switch to L3 in Netflix app?
Then I can improve the patch.

the question is how did you patch it?
did it patch the crypto lib?
or did you replace it?

honestly i'm kind of leaning towards you're practicing sorcery 😂

edit: if you're patching it, i learned something or two way back years ago .. if you're interested i can send you my script

edit2: on second thought you could just see one of my thread for the script

I'm not sure, needs more testing.
But what I can tell you, the patch just restore the liboemcrypto.so from *.bak ...it's just the original lib.
Plus one more thing, but i'm not sure if this is the real "hack"... but at least it fixes DRM error in logcat... so I think maybe that works. Try to add L1 patch... if it still works, then it's ok. Otherwise i've one more idea to make it working with just one tap ... so without to reinstall the app.
But better to not talk too much, otherwise they will patch it back and you guys will have again only L3 on all rooted devices.

i backuped the lib, then pressed the patch L1 again, it says done, refreshed the root browser and it's still there.. as if nothing happened or the demo app didn't handle that exception if renaming fails..

got curious and pressed the L3, refreshed the root browser, it's renamed to bak

pressed the L1 again and got it renamed again..

so i think we're good here.. thanks ace

edit: i think i know what you're thinking.. lsmod it?

wait.. i think i posted too soon, i forgot to check the netflix app..

right after i test those steps above (back to L1), i opened netflix and it says device error, forgot to screenshot it coz i instinctly rebooted

then after booting and opening netflix, i was asked to login again and turns out L3 was on the fingerprint again..

i force stopping it then clearing the data, opening netflix again and login.. L1 is active again :D

aaand i think i posted too soon again, this time while playing netflix less than a minute a popup appears "error 5.7.6"..

this morning i tested out watching "red notice" until it's done with L1 mode active.. i don't know if i did something very wrong or i did something very right :/

edit: i think i'll just leave it at L3, my eyes doesn't care for the details that much, especially not on an S8 screen

Do this:
Logout from Netflix..
Close the app...
Apply L1 patch...
And test if you can watch in HD.

No need to reboot, also no need to force stop... the patch already do this for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

i did what you suggested, but after logging in again the device fingerprint still has L3 on it, and playback specifications says L3.. no dice man

edit: i cleared its data and it detects L1 again, but playing a video i watched just stucks on loading.. workaround for it is to remove it from watched list and reopening the movie again, then it loads.. but, after 2 minutes error 5.7.6 pops up back and closes the video i'm watching

How do I downgrade to R55? Since updating to R56, it's like CPU and GPU boost is always disabled despite enabling boost in the settings.

Sorry but I can't seem to find R55 file. Is there any link available for it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry, I don't have it too.
Maybe someone can upload it here.

Anyway, did you try to re-install a2n app?
After that for having CPU/GPU boost, enable boost.. (but in previous app it was reversed logic)
Then you can also set input booster duration to 3000 ms to improve FPS in games.

Yeah, already did. I guess I'll wait for R57, haven't tried the input booster yet. Thanks!

    Hi Guys,
    even the fact that I'd stated that I'll no longer update this kernel ....
    But I couldn't let it be and therefore ....

    HERE WE GO AGAIN: :cool:

    Changelog

    A2N Kernel R61
    • RAM: improved memory management and fixed bug
    • USB: fixed tethering instability issue (needs more testing)
    • GPU: trigger kernel panic on GPU fault instead to issue a soft-reset
    • Removed buggy gaming_mode
    • GPU power-policy: force to use "coarse_demand" on suspend if "always_on" is enabled - saves battery (around 30 mA!)
    • CPU/GPU DVFS: reduced "gpu_dvfs_sleep_time" from 8 to 4 ms
    • GPU: fixed soft-reset issue caused by buggy HMP driver - this should fix GPU freezes and lags!
    • HMP: fixed bugs and adjusted tunables to be more aggressive - (faster and smoother)
    • CPU: updated ondemand gov
    • CPU: updated input-booster driver to be more efficient (more smooth, less battery draining!)
    • GPU: disabled shader cores hotplugging for better performance!
    • Updated ramdisk

    A2N Kernel Control V61
    • CPU/GPU DVFS: added ability to check "Peak Temperature"
    • Misc: LED-RGB: added power control
    • CPU-BIG: removed CPU-Hotplug feature (redundant)
    • GPU: replaced "Gaming Mode" with "Boost"
    • GPU: added power-policy for "Always On"
    • CPU-BIG: merged "Input Booster" into "Boost"
    • CPU-LIT: removed "Boost" (redundant)
    • Audio: moved "PM-QOS" to "Debug" menu
    • Fixed bugs and improved performance

    Ace does the Kernel already make use of compilation flags (o3, thinlto, etc), arm optimized asm for mem ops, etc, to improve CPU performance? Or can this stuff not be implemented?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Yes already fully optimized except LTO as it's not supported with our sources. I don't want to add further bugs. The kernel doesn't need such extreme low-level code optimizations since it's smart enough. But applied to the ROM LTO can make big performance improvements, especially for performance sensitive binaries like ffmpeg and the other software codecs.

    Hi Dev! I have a question for you
    Is the new version has the CPU default temp limit (or boot temp limit, idk what it is called) at 57c ?
    I feel that the phone is quite sluggish before the A2N settings apply, so I check the CPU temp with AIDA64 and the temp is peaked at 57 and clock speed is very low on big core.
    I'd love to have the default temp increase to like 65 or 70c, so it will be faster.
    Thank you so much!

    No, sorry, it's max 60 °C to avoid overheating after wiping dalvik-cache.

    thank you very much for all of your efforts to this day to keep this old device alive and kicking many of its successors in the butt..

    my screen cracked pretty bad today but still usable, think i'll use this for entertainment station for the family or fix the screen when i got extra budget someday, but fortunately i got a no brainer deal for a brand new S21 FE..

    FAQ

    Q: With which ROMs this Kernel is 100 % Compatible ?
    A: Currently only with Android 9 custom ROMs, but Samsung stock ROM is recommended.

    Q: Is this Kernel 100 % Safe ?
    A: Yes.

    Q: Will this Kernel Overheat the Phone if I use Highest Settings ?
    A: No, you can't do anything wrong. Your phone has hard- and software overheat protection.

    Q: How to Revert all Changes Made by this Kernel ?
    A: Flash latest 3-parted stock ROM with ODIN or flash the Samsung kernel from my download site.

    Q: How to bypass SafetyNet ?
    A: Anable MagiskHide in Magisk app.

    Q: How i can Tune this Kernel ??
    A: Everytime you install or update this kernel you will face an red (demo) app "A2N Kernel Control..." open this app, and it'll redirect you to Google Play to get the full version (blue app).

    Q: Can i use and Tune your Kernel with other Kernel Manager Apps ?
    A: Yes, but you need first to unlock kernel with the A2N app full version.

    Q: I've Installed the Full Version of the App, Will it Change any Kernel Settings by Default if i do not Change them ?
    A: No, default app settings = default kernel settings.

    Q: I've the Full Version of the A2N Kernel Control App, Do i still need the Demo Version of the App ?
    A: Yes, there are some special features in-app-menu like "Fake Enforce" and debugging features for easy bug reports.

    Q: How to Charge from 10 % to 100 % In just 1 h ?
    A: E.g. set "AC Current Max" and "Maximum Charging Temperature" to the Max.

    Q: How to get Max Speed for e.g. Highest FPS in Games ?
    A: Set BIG / LITTLE CPU and GPU Freq to the Max, but avoid to use "unsafe" Freq's.
    Then set CPU / GPU --> DVFS --> "Maximum Temperature" to the Max.
    Now you can even cook an egg on your phone !

    Q: Will my Custom A2N Settings Survive if i install Stock Kernel and then going back to A2N Kernel ?
    A: Yes, as long as you don't uninstall it.

    Q: Can i use your Kernel Control App with other Custom Kernels ?
    A: No, it's not universal kernel manager app.

    Q: My A2N App is Crashing after an Update, how to fix it ?
    A: Re-install it. If it doesn't help, wipe dalvik-cache in recovery.

    Q: My A2N App shows: "Please check your internet connection" - But i've good internet connection. - How to fix it ?
    A: Settings --> network settings --> use private DNS server like "dns.adguard.com" - confirmed to work by user @Arnz09 - see his post here.
    Otherwise send me a pm with the screenshot and you current location (city)

    Q: Why I get lower benchmark scores with this kernel compared with the Samsung kernel ?
    A: This kernel uses by default Max CPU/GPU DVFS Temp 65 °C to reduce the device heat. You can buy the full version of the A2N app to set the DVFS Temp up to 100 °C to get higher scores than on stock kernel.

    Q: Why the Android Battery setting "fast charging" has no effect on this kernel ? - It charges always with around 1500 mA.
    A: Because it would conflict with the built-in charger control.
    The default charging current of approx. 1500 mA means no fast charging by default, even if you actually see "fast charging" in the notification section. This is also useful to reduce battery stress and device heat. To charge even with higher speed/current than on stock kernel you need to buy the full version of the A2N app.

    Q: Why I've to pay money for just changing kernel settings ?
    A: Well quality has its price. Also nobody forces you to use this kernel.
    You can flash other custom kernels or flash the Samsung stock kernel from my download site. Good luck !

    Q: When we get an update ?
    A: This kernel is almost 100 % stable and works very well. Also this phone is now a bit "old" and therefore don't expect frequent updates.
    Also don't ask for ETA's and if you do anyway, I'll ignore.

    Q: How to fix audio stutering ?
    A: Increase the UHQ PM-QOS-LIT Freq in A2N app in "Audio" section.
    If you don't have the full version, you can run a cmd like this:
    Code: 
    su // only for termux app
cd /sys/module/abox/parameters
cat user_pm_qos_lit // check current value
echo 949000 > user_pm_qos_lit // e.g. set to 949 MHz

# To apply the change at boot, like always, copy paste the cmds to
# /system/etc/init.d/99_user without the "su" cmd of course.

    Q: What is the benefit of editing the voltage table ?
    A: to increase OC stability increase voltage and to decrease the device heat, decrease voltage. Last one will improve performance due to less throttling ! So it depends on your needs.

    Q: How much is safe to undervolt ?
    A: approx -50 or -75 mV is considered to be "safe".

    Q: How to edit voltage table ?
    A: First of all: to set different CPU/GPU clocks or voltages you need to have Magisk installed and buy my A2N kernel control app full version. This will unlock all premium features of this kernel.
    To edit GPU voltages for steps > 572 MHz ---> use the A2N app full version.
    To change all the other voltages, you need to use ADB and later once you have found the proper voltages for your phone then you can write them to a script that will be executed at every boot.
    Note: this voltage table is from my phone. Your phone may have a different table, so please use your table when it comes to calculate how much you want to undervolt. (50 - 75 mV or 50000 - 75000 uV should be safe)
    I'll help you, here we go !
    Code: 
    adb shell

# now maybe you want even to undervolt RAM.
# we need to go again to /sys/power ...

cd /sys/power
# take a look at the dvfs table, the very first entry "dvfs_mif - id : 0"
this is RAM freq - volt table and our max_freq is 1794 MHz.
# we will undervolt Freq step 1794 MHz @ 700 mV:
# the format string is here: "id rate volt" (intent KHz uV)
# this sysfs interface is universal and you can undervolt any voltage table you want by using the corresponding "id":

echo "0 1794000 700000" > update_dvfs_table
# and verify:
echo 1 > print_dvfs_table
dmesg
# id 4 would be for GPU (dvfs_g3d) and so on ...
# to run all the cmds for undervolting at boot, just do something like this:

# open the script /system/etc/init.d.a2n/a2n_user and copy paste your cmds:

cd /sys/power
echo "2314000 900000" > cpu_big_volt
echo "1690000 950000" > cpu_lit_volt
echo "0 1794000 700000" > update_dvfs_table
cd /sys/kernel/gpu
echo "546000 650000" > gpu_volt
echo "455000 650000" > gpu_volt

# under the line: "# A2N init.d Script"
# save and enjoy !

    Q: How to Report Bugs ?
    - Please DO NOT report bugs if you are:
    --- using "unsafe" Freqs
    --- not using the latest release !
    --- not using Samsung stock ROM (based stock ROMs are custom ROMs !)
    A: Open the red A2N Kernel Control demo app and check in-app-menu (3 dots) then "Debug" and then on "logcat and dmesg" if you faced an app crash or if some features didn't work.
    If the phone rebooted randomly, then tap on "last_kmsg". You will find the logs in your internal storage. After that you can attach them here in your bug report, by clicking "Attach files".

    ROM:
    Kernel version:
    A2N app version:
    BUG:
    How to reproduce:
    Same bug with stock kernel ? :     YES / NO

    Download stock kernel for bug reference: S8 / S8+ / Note8

    BUG REPORTS THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES WILL BE IGNORED !!!

    • Improved Battery Life
    • Reduced Device heat
    • More Responsive
    • Fixed Laggs (especially for some 2D Games)
    • Increased Efficiency
    • RAM: 3485 @ 3711 MB
    • Unlocked higher CPU/GPU Freq Steps - Thanks @Noxxxious
    • SELinux in permissive mode - Thanks @Noxxxious
    • Disabled SSWAP
    • Added zRam Support with fast LZ4 Compressor
    • Added KSM Support - patched for Android by me
    • Optimized Input Booster
    • Fixed very bad CPU IDLE
    • CPU: Interactive @ conservative gov - for higher efficiency
    • Added Wireguard Support
    • CPU: Cluster 0: Screen ON min_freq 455 @ 715 MHz to Fix Lags - 455 MHz Step is used for Screen OFF
    • Compiled with DEFAULT_USE_ENERGY_AWARE / WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT - for better Battery Lifetime
    • Optimized Crypto, NEON SIMD Hardware Acceleration (e.g. faster device encryption due of hardware acceleration)
    • Disabled HMP since it serves nothing - Hardware doesn't allow to use real cpu_hotplugging ...
    • Added Charger Control 2.0 by me - Allows to configure custom max input current from 100 - 3000 mA in 100 mA Steps separately for AC / USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 / Wireless - that means real Fast Charging even with Screen ON - Allows even to charge at max current possible with 3rd-party Chargers !!
    • Added Flashlight Torch Control - You can adjust Brightness of your Torch from 1 - 15 - Default/Stock Kernel is just 5 :p
    • SELinux: Removed Audit dependency - Thanks @ kerneltoast && arter97
    • Added Support for F2FS
    • Accurate remaining time to full charged battery
    • init.d Support
    • And many more Kernel Tweaks - i can't list them all here ... changelog is already too long isn't it ?! :laugh:

    A2N Kernel Control V1.4

    • The best Way to manage this Kernel for full functionality (3rd-party Kernel Manager Apps will not work properly with this Kernel)
    • Compiled with API 28 Android 9 Pie
    • Power: Charger Control - Allows to configure custom max input current from 100 - 3000 mA in 100 mA Steps separately for AC / USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 / Wireless - that means real Fast Charging even with Screen ON - Allows even to charge at max current possible with 3rd-party Chargers !!
    • Added switch for "Adaptive Fast Charging" so u can directly toggle AFC in the App.
    • Ability to check actual accepted charging current and Input Voltage
    • CPU: OC Control: Cluster 0: up to 2002 MHz and Cluster 1: up to 2808 MHz
    • CPU Governor tuning: Adjust up_threshold to balance between Battery Lifetime and Performance separately for each Cluster
    • GPU: OC Control up to 839 MHz
    • Hardcoded Performance Profiles:
    • --> Powersave (Underclocked)
    • --> Balanced (Kernel Default)
    • --> Performance (Overclocked)
    • Misc: switch for zRam, KSM
    • Misc: Torch Brightness Control - up to 3 times brighter flashlight than with a stock Kernel !!
    • Misc: Ability to load kernel Module for CIFS and NFS with just one Tap
    • Misc: Accelerometer Calibration
    • Debug: u can call this Menu over the App built-in Menu (3 dot) - ability to save logcat and dmesg with one tap to your sdcard ..

    If u've any Questions, feel free to ask here.

    Enjoy your new A2N Kernel ! :)
