First of all: your Kernel is nearly identical to the original whereas NX-Kernel is a product of development and by that naturally diverging from a mainline.

As far as I can see from your OP you only changed minor values but didn't really add new features or even modify many.

As you wrote in the first post: "That's all. These tiny changes are trully noticeable."

Hard to believe that these parameter modifications are measurable at all.

You build your own kernel - that's nice work. But this isn't development at all until now.

Only the usual advertising words: better battery, heat reduction and high performance - this fits perfectly to some of the wonder Roms here claiming the same.
I totally agree with you! I don't want to implement some fancy features in this kernel. Just some minor changes that make a real difference. Then try to submit these changes to gerrit to integrate it to the official CyanogenMod kernel. As far as I know, Linaro build and undervolting is totally out of question here, but bumping back the lowest GPU step and fix the voltage table mistake will be my priority.

Hope you will understand this! I only want our Note to be in a better shape. :)

I had similar thoughts when I heard abt this kernel and just the minor voltage changes that it offers. But I didn't say it coz I think something is better than nothing. There are many ppl who may want to undervolt though I personally find it of little practical use.
Besides its a great learning experience for geckodev and am sure he (she?) will sooner or later add more useful changes like governors and schedulers. So in short, its an effort worth encouraging

Thanks for this custom kernel - I can only appreciate the fact that we finally have a new custom kernel developer <3

In my opinion NX-Kernel has a better performance (haven't tried gaming, but there seems to be more lag with this kernel than NX).. :laugh:

Thank you. It is weird to see negative reactions like this, while I'm trying to make progress. It has been only seven days since I created this thread and made my first public release. Everybody knows you can't do something constructive in such a short time.

Anyway, it's unlikely you will see more governors or schedulers in this kernel ;)

I've been on your kernel for several days now and in real world usage i do notice a change. My phone doesn't heat up as much as it did before. I appreciate your further development and I'm grateful for your willingness to continue the developement for our devices. Thanks to developers like you our device will see a tomorrow.

Hey am sorry if it came across like that but I didn't intend to be negative. I just meant we should appreciate and encourage budding talents like you. :) kudos
Btw we eagerly waiting to try ur 4.3 kernel so u should stop heeding the negativity being hurled at u and better get back to work ;)

Stuck at samsung logo.

I have flashed the Kernel over CM 10.2 ROM and now stuck at Samsung logo. Can't even enter Recovery. Time to go to PC ODIN???

Edit : Had to flash safe Kernel using PC ODIN and flash CM 10.2. Not sure why raw kernel is acting up in my case. Could it be bad download? Any pointers?

Thanks for the progress you made. Still on neo's kernel, on CM 10.1. Waiting for the last couple of bugs to be ironed out of 10.2 before updating.
Undervolting is nice, but what i am really looking for is an overclocked GPU.
Yes, this will increase heat rather then reduce it, but 400MHz @ 1000 mV is a noticeable performance boost.
Not sure if all notes can handle it though, so it might require a separate edition of your kernel?

If you want to overclock or undervolt or whatever, there's an app for that, like Tegrak Overclock. I do not plan to release a separate version of Raw Kernel, it's a waste of time to test since all Notes are different. It's not hard to figure out your own values et set them using an utility.

On another note, I'm trying to update the gpu drivers to Mali r3p2-01rel0. Insignal has distributed the userspace blobs and I hope it's just a matter of updating the kernel-side drivers to get it to run.

Good luck, I wish you all the best for reaching the fame levels of the now discontinued NX kernel.

Its not a problem using Tegrak kernel, as long as the kernel supports changing the GPU settings...
