I stopped working on it atm, since I have a lot of work to do for my university and an internship to find.

Raw Kernel r5 with KitKat support will come in a very near future though

Announcing Raw Kernel r5

No hwcomposer goodness, but anyway

Changelog :
* Rebased upon android-4.4 branch from OmniROM with latest changes included (includes r3p2 + s3cfb updates)
* Updated Linaro toolchain to 4.7-2013.11
* Updated ramdisk with latest TWRP recovery
* Tuned gpu thresholds a bit

It works well with OmniROM 4.4, and should work with CM11.

Download :
* raw_kernel_r5_k44.zip

Same thing for Android 4.3 will shortly follow. :good:

Geecko, I have flashed my poor Note 8 times today testing this and that, so don't hold it against me for being lazy and just asking.

Does the new version suffer from the known 4.4 enforcing SELinux problems? You can't move apps to SD card, also you can't install certain
apps from GStore?

Geecko. Unpack my boot.img and the Nightly one. And compare them. I deleted all my files, ao maybe there is something different between both.

I'm running R4 with r3p2 on Asylum (4.3.1) and the phone is now VERY stable!
Give use more power on 4.3

Thanks again for your HARD work!

Confirmed. Just installed the new Asylum Omni and raw r5 and the apps that were moved to sdcard are gone.

Thanks geeckodev, I'm on omnirom and raw version 5 kernel.

N7000 is performing better than I can ever remember.

Just FYI @GeeckoDev, the abovementioned broplem has nothing to do with SELinux after all, and everything with a missing flag in fstab.smdk4210.

/devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:11,nonremovable,noemulatedsd

The red one has gone walkabout. Everything's working like clockwork now that it's back.

Forgive me for asking, but is it kernel related or rom related?

Kernel, but it has nothing to do with what Geecko is doing. It's a file in galaxys2-common which gets incorporated in the kernel, and it tells the system how and where to mount partitions on boot. Geecko takes these values for granted and works on higher kernel functions, so it's not his fault at all.

 

[itsfragi]

thank you very much. just wanted to know that, because i don't want to break the fix by flashing a kernel. so thanks again for the clarification.

@chasmodo

I tried to modify the .cpio files by hand, but it always ends up in a bootloop. Could you provide me the modified file, please? Thanks again :highfive:

Hmm, it's pretty useless for me right now. Is the fix included in the latest builds?

EDIT: yes it is

OmniROM 4.4 runs MUCH better with this kernel - smoother, more responsive - carry on the good work @GeeckoDev
