[KERNEL][6.0.1][J5 2015/H][Sabermod 4.8] The Dark Kernel V1.0

[KingRaheel]

Hey guys! This kernel is only for SM-J500H as of now. I will add support for other variants soon. Now lets talk business

Features:
Built using Sabermod 4.8 toolchain
Latest J500HXXU2BPK4 sources
Patched with SuperSu 2.79 (Systemless)
Patched Linux version to 3.10.104
KCAL advanced colour control
SELinux permissive
MSM Hotplug enabled
Mild CPU Undervolt (Beta experimental values)
Compiled with -03 flag for better optimization and speed
Fixed memory leak in alloc_pid
Free memory optimizations
Tuned XZ for ARM processors
NEON and VFP float enabled
Init.d support
Busyboxed
Insecure boot
Patched to boot Note 7 roms
ADB enabled by default
​

To do list:
New CPU governors
New I/O Schedulers
Overclock and Underclock (I Dont find this neccessary because the phone works properly without overclock as well)
Add support for other models

Please note that i am a beginner in kernel development. I learn and keep learning so that i can bring out something different. Lastly if you got some features on your mind then my ears are always open. However i can't assure you that it will be added or implemented but i can give it my best shot within my capabilities. Further development on this project is dependent on the response i get from you guys. Lack of response will bring an end to this project. Enjoy the kernel guys.

Instructions:​

1. Take a backup of your boot partition using TWRP first.
2. Navigate to the zip and flash.
3. Reboot and enjoy.

Downloads:​

Don't forget to hit the thanks button. It will hardly take a second:good:

Seems cool! Can't wait for the FN model :silly:

Good job!

Good!
i'm happy to see this thread,
You just opend o door for new oportunities!
you have all my consideration for this.
if i understand well, this is for MM botloader?
can you share the wlan.ko(pronto_wlan.ko) from J500HXXU2BPK4 'till you make it to work with all versions?
Of course if you are agree with your kernel to be using in other rom ports!
Thanks!

EDIT:
Thanks...again, i didnt checked the zip archive.
i just see the wlan.ko in it!

Congratulations!
I see that you've chose Sabermod, a nice choice. Did you try 4.9+ toolchain (including 4.9) ? I'm curious if it works on stock kernel.

@KingRaheel

I don't have the knowledge, but after looking at other kernel, it seems that the change you've made for Linux kernel 3.10.104 is not enough! Other files must be changed too, not only that. I think you have to cherry pick or merge the Linux kernel changes.

Take a look at the changelog of 3.10.104: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.10.104 .

Also, I'm not sure, but I think the kernel version must be updated one by one, with it's changes/patches. E.g.: from 3.10.49 to 3.10.50, then 3.10.51 (I don't know if .50 and .51 versions exists, I just gave an example).

Waiting for J500F ???

Thank you sir. Yea its for MM bootloader. . As of now i am trying to figure out how to make the sources of j500h to work on other models. I know that it can be done using different defconfig files and i had got the zImage as well but i think there is something more to it. Hopefully once its out for other models, people can use it to port or build some rom. If they do then my work paid off

Thank you buddy. Yeah i had tried with uber 4.9 and it worked but the kernel was kind of creepy lol. Random reboots for some reason. I solved that today and i think ubertc is way better than sabermod in terms of stability and most importantly battery life.

Yes you are right. The whole thing has be changed. Thats why i simply changed the version as its initial. Lol. I am getting many compilation errors with the patches made for linux 3.10.104 as i think its due to some config mistakes . So i am doing a lot of research on it and getting the errors solved one by one.

1 overclock is necessary for gaming..The games (World of Gunship) i play lag but PBS by zonik was awesome the games didnt lag..I think at least overclock the GPU to 700 MHZ
2 why dont you just add overclock? i mean if people doesnt want overclocking they can just use app to use normal frequency. can someone tell me this if you put 2.1GHz frequency and i still use 1198MHz frequency will there be any difference if you dont put overclocking and use 1198MHz?

i will explain further if you dont understand 2nd question....
I use J500F currently using Resurrection remix

No need of explaining further. Not all people think the same way as you have said. Overclock to high frequencies will cause high temperature shoot up which will cause lag sometimes. Speed thrills but kills. PSB was smooth because it was using DJSteve kernel which ofcourse had all overclock capabilities. I will add overclock later once i add support to other variants.

May I know what was the cause of ubertc random reboot and how you fixed it? It is related to flags?
I'll try myself on stock kernel and I guess I'll run into same problem. Anyway, when I tried ubertc on cm kernel, phone was stuck at Galaxy J5 logo.


Regarding Linux kernel version, did you upgrade it one by one till 3.10.104?

Yes flags. If any soft freeze then reboot. Lol. Actually the case should be opposite that is if any hard freeze then reboot. When i reported to samsung they changed it immediately. Like within 30 mins. Stupid samsung. I changed mine using menuconfig. Thats how i got sabermod also to work . No fault in toolchains

Ofcourse one by one and compile or else you will get 2 pages of errors :laugh: .So i am on 3.10.99 now and i got many errors for 3.10.103 . So just trying to figure out where is the bug

UPDATE:

Wifi confirmed working on most of the basebands. Thanks to all my testers out there

Keep up the good work !! :good:
Your J500H tester ...

Wishing a Happy New Year!

One advice would be to provide all other modules too!
Since Kernel is optimized from Toolchain, all modules are affected too.
This will provide a performance increase and stabilization.
You will see that module sizes are much bigger now.

Good luck!!

 

[daitalos]

Gongratulations for the nice work..This device needed a kernel for M6.0.1.. I hope & for other models in the future if you can ofcourse .. Happy New year I wish ! (sry for english)

 

[KingRaheel]

New update coming soon guys. Support for FN model also added. The kernel will be built again from the scratch with many changes to sources.
Regards
Raheel

Can someone help me to compile the wlan module.

I have used uberTC and linaro version 4.9. On my computer linaro compiles a bit slower than uber but has better stability
