[KERNEL][EOL][LINARO/UBER]DorimanX kernel for LP and MM

Saber · Jun 29, 2015

Unofficial DorimanX builds by Saber (formerly gsstudios)

Development has ended.

The Background:
DorimanX development has stopped for a while now. I've been a long term dorimanx user, but I felt that a lot of features need to be implemented into the kernel. As of a result, I decided to make my own personal builds! Please note that I'm no way as good as the master himself, Dorimanx, but I try to implement features to the best of my abilities. Also, I'm not going to be a proper maintainer of dorimanx kernel, this is just what I've done in my spare time.

If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you need to reflash your current ROM to revert kernel.

The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve DorimanX kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.

DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR AOSP BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility

——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———

FEATURES:
This kernel includes the following additional features over stock dorimanX kernel:
- CPU Governors: HYPER, Ondemand, pegasusQ, Intellidemand, neoX, darkness, nightmare, zzmoove, sleepy, conservative (Default: HYPER)
- IO Schedulers: ROW, Tripndroid, FIOPS, SIOPlus, BFQ, CFQ, Noop, ZEN, Deadline (Default: ZEN)
- TCP Algorithms: Cubic, Reno, BIC, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Veno, Scalable, Lp, Yeah, Illinois (Default: Westwood)
- Built with Latest Linaro 4.9/UBER 6.1 Toolchains
- Built-in Stweaks profiles updated (All profiles suit needs for most people now)
- Trim support (Be careful if you have brickbug affected chip!)
- Updated FPBug/Musicbug fix is already included in this kernel!
- BLN and BLNWW support
- Updated Linux Kernel version to 3.15.0 stable!
- Freezefix is already included in this kernel!
- Isorec support
- Low Latency Audio bugfix is included in this kernel
- MDNIE mode and scenario tuning
- F2FS support

THINGS TO DO:
- Provide an actual fix for device off battery charging animation
- Allow users to dirty flash ROM to restore original kernel
- Fix cache partition wipe on Resurrection Remix ROM

THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
- LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
- Useless CPU governors such as Userspace
- Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
- Recovery version (Will only consider doing this if working on LP kernel)
- Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
- Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
- Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
- Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

Code:

[FONT="Arial"][B]DorimanX 12.0 b013 (STABLE)[/B]
- Additional security updates from LineageOS kernel source
- Updated stweaks descriptions from previous commits

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b012 (STABLE)[/B]
- Security updates from LineageOS (formerly Cyanogenmod) kernel source
- Change default I/O scheduler to ZEN - CFQ better for hard disks, ZEN is good for flash storage
- Set swappiness to 60 - Should help with low memory problems
- Remove UKSM - The kernel needs to be more in-line with the linux kernel
- Remove Adaptive LMK - Drains more battery without making much of a difference to memory savings
- Remove toggle for Software CRCs and disable by default - Tested safe by other devs so why not?
- Remove power saving workqueues control - Had little to no effect
- Remove Powersave and Performance governors - I don't keep garbage :)

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b011 (BETA)[/B]

- UBER toolchain updated

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b009 (BETA)[/B]
- Fifo batch tuned for sioplus and tripndroid
- nr_requests increased to 128 for better throughput - The downside is that we have less RAM to work with when I/O requests are full
- Hack to get power off charging animation working - Thanks Realex-fire. This is only a temporary solution. 
- More cleanup to initramfs
- UBER toolchain updated

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b008 (BETA)[/B]

- Updated exfat modules from Dorimanx's source
- Added and enabled temperature export for zzmoove
- Changed the default hotplug method for zzmoove to Alucard. Force native zzmoove hotplug disabled - Intelliplug doesn't hotplug for zzmoove, only Alucard works.

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b003 (BETA)[/B]
- More ZRAM tweaks have been added for better ZRAM performance - max_comp_streams=2 and force LZ4 algorithm
- Disabled panic and reboot on oops bugs. According to Dorimanx, the kernel will recover 99% of the time when kernel encounters a problem. 
If not, kernel will hang making it possible to diagnose random reboots
- Merged many f2fs fixes and improvements from mainline linux kernel - F2FS is functional, but there are some problems we need to fix
- Minor selinux fixes 
- Removed broken features from stweaks - Root options and kernel update check

- Merged a few of missing and recent updates from CM13
- Changed config_hz to 300 (from 250) - This should give a small boost in interactivity with no cost in battery life
- sched.h: Changed LOAD_FREQ calculation
- UBER builds are now being built with latest UBER 6.1 with Cortex-A9 optimizations - I forgot to change the UBER version string from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0, but you can just look at GCC version for proof :)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b038 (BETA)[/B]
- OOM and LMK fixes thanks to realex-fire
- HYPER cpu gov synced with latest changes from Dorimanx's G2 kernel
- Changed the default I/O scheduler to BFQ - After some testing, I have found BFQ to be slightly more responsive compared to CFQ

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b037 (BETA)[/B]
- Reverted o3 flags - This fixes the high power consumption from the last build and large kernel size
- We will no longer see UBER 5.3 builds. 
- Reverted more VM tweaks
- General stability fixes 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b036 (BETA)[/B]
- Default I/O scheduler changed back to CFQ
- Compiler optimisations thanks to @chhapil - Dori kernel was missing a lot of optimisation flags after kernel was updated past 3.12 linux kernel. Now we finally get them back :)
- The kernel is now compiled with the -o3 optimization flag - Increased kernel size, better performance

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b035 (STABLE)[/B]
- Various security updates and stability fixes pulled from CM13 kernel
- LMK will now kill system and protected (root) apps and services to prevent kernel crash - This fixes Launcher FC bug and poor RAM performance
- Stweaks updated with material design thanks to @Skyline! 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b034 (BETA)[/B]
- Added support for GCC 6.0 toolchains. We will see how UBER 6.0 experimental builds go
- Default I/O scheduler changed to ZEN
- lowmemreserve ratio changed back to default values

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b033 (BETA)[/B]
[COLOR="Red"]Your stweaks profile will be reset automatically once you flash this build[/COLOR]
- Restored aggressive LMK changes (After reverting the LMK changes, phone felt noticeably more laggy and system would lock up more frequently)
- Reduced swappiness back to 20% to reduce CPU usage and to improve performance
- Reverted VM changes (VFS cache pressure, dirty background ratio) - This might restore stability and performance
- Merged a few updates from CM - Minor stability fixes and security fixes
- Updated UBER toolchain

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b032 (BETA)[/B]
[COLOR="Red"]It is recommended to reset your stweaks profiles to ensure you get the best stability [/COLOR]
- Fixed lots of stweaks descriptions. Matched all non-matching default value descriptions
- Removed relaxed lowmem_reserve_ratio option. Our device doesn't have more than 600MB of free RAM :)
- Merged many changes from CM13 kernel
- Reverted LMK profile and made it less aggressive. We'll see if this helps with Launcher FCs. Note: It is not recommended to decrease swappiness!
- Increased swappiness to 50. We need LMK to do less work otherwise apps will just suddenly close. - Slightly less battery life, better multitasking
- UBER 5.3 Toolchain updated to March build
- zzmoove will now use intelliplug as the default hotplug method

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b031 (BETA)[/B]
- Added MDNIE override toggle. If your settings don't apply, just re-enable this toggle and make changes again. 
- hyper gov updated with DorimanX LG G2 LP thanks to realex-fire - Better balance between performance and battery life. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b030 (BETA)[/B]
- Updated sio to sioplus iosched - Thanks to DorimanX. Now it is working as it should and stweaks doesn't freeze anymore! :) - Better performance and multitasking
- Merged many changes to zzmoove. Thanks to @zanezam - Bug fixes, performance/battery life improvements
- A few other minor kernel changes were merged from linux mainline kernel - Bug fixes, stability improvements
- MDNIE mode and scenario changing support added to stweaks. Note: This will override the ROMs values. Also, other scripts will be able to override this as well. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b029 (BETA)[/B]
- Match stweaks descriptions with actual default values
- Merged updates to CFQ io scheduler - Better performance
- Disabled MMC CRC check - Better I/O performance
- Deleted all zipalign functions! it's no longer supported with ART in LP. - Fixed possible nasty bug that would have deleted all app symlinks in /data/app. Before zipalign was enabled by default for performance profiles! Now all good :)
- Stweaks profile will be reset!
- Remove all fix permissions functions. It is old and broken. Lollipop is much more advanced compared to jellybean 4.3 so there is much less chance of apps breaking after a ROM update.
- CORTEX: move OOM fix to cortex to set on each wakeup. Thanks to DorimanX. Before this, the default ROM OOM values were being used after boot, the kernel was not always overriding ROM values and causing slower performance. This fixes this issue.

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b028 (STABLE)[/B]
- Merged a few kernel updates from CM13
- Removed ability to tune vfs_cache_pressure. This is required for cortexbrain to function properly. If you tune it, the kernel script will not run!
- Adaptive vfs_cache_pressure values synced with DorimanX LG G2 LP values. - Better performance, more free RAM, slightly less battery life

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b027 (STABLE)[/B]
- Updated OOM profiles to better match CM Marshmallow and DorimanX LG G2 LP values
- UBER 5.3 Toolchain updated to 01/02/16 build
- Added HOTPLUG tab to stweaks. All hotplug config is now grouped together, minor fixes to spelling

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b026 (BETA)[/B]
- Merged many workqueue updates from linux mainline kernel - Improvements to stability, performance and battery life
- Merged updates to tcp_yeah
- Disabled auditd service to remove selinux related logspam 
- Low latency audio fix will be applied on boot. DorimanX doesn't support low latency audio which causes games using recent unity versions to sound horrible. Thanks to @dualjoe. If you want to re-enable low latency audio, reflash rom and use different kernel! 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b025 (BETA) - LAST BUILD FOR NON-TRIM AND UBER 4.9[/B]
- Synced chhapil's zram updates 
- LZ4 is set as the default algorithm for zram. I have properly checked now and it is all good. You can see this under /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm, where the algorithm inside the brackets is the active one. 
[COLOR="Red"]- This will be the last build for NON-TRIM and UBER 4.9. TRIM should be used by everyone and UBER 4.9 is just unnecessary extra toolchain. 
[/COLOR]- Changed default I/O scheduler to CFQ. This was Samsung's default choice and it was a good choice. LP needs as much I/O performance we can get, so simpler schedulers are not that great :)
- Merged many zram updates up to what the kernel can allow. This is the max zram can update to before causing build errors. 
- UBER 5.3 builds will be moved to the UBER main folder. Not experimental anymore :)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b024 (BETA)[/B]
- BLN is properly fixed now without having to modify install script thanks to realex-fire
- Fixed stweaks not installing on kernel install thanks to realex-fire
- Many other changes to kernel init system thanks to realex-fire
- LZ4 support on the ZRAM thanks to @chhapil. Changed default compression to LZ4. Before we were using LZO which was slower but gave slightly better compression. LZ4 is much faster but gives slightly worse compression. TL;DR, better performance :) Edit: Wasn't sure if it was really enabled by default because there was no way to check. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b023 (BETA)[/B]
- BLN is now working!!! I simply updated the updater-script to delete old lights.exynos4.so from ROM and add new one to /system/lib/hw. Thanks @charlie8104 and @arnab If BLN doesn't work, reflash the kernel and make sure to reapply BLN after boot. This should fix BLN for most people :)
- sched: Set MC (multi-core) sched domain's busy_factor attribute to 1. This will increase CPU performance. 
- fixed compilations warnings thanks to @chhapil

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b022 (BETA)[/B]
- Changed swappiness drop down to slider. Allow users to select a more precise percentage. 
- Limit boot booster frequency to a max of 1.4Ghz. Anything higher will cause many devices not to boot :) Plus there are very few CPUs out there that can run higher than this config. 
- Added lowmem_reserved_ratio tuning to stweaks thanks to @dorimanX. A higher ratio will give you more free RAM if you see that your free RAM is always loaded and device LAG, but it's also uses more battery to gain more free RAM with loaded system. Please don't use the relaxed setting as you will run out of RAM very easily. 
- Isorec recovery support. Many thanks to lanchon who has been working with me for the past few days. If you require to dualboot, don't use isorec recovery. I have linked the isorec disabler for people who want dualboot/dorimanx recovery. Also, TWRP can't mount USB storage so you won't be able to transfer files between PC, go back to CWM to fix this. We have isorec on DorimanX :) However this is still a WIP. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b021 (BETA)[/B]
- Synced missing cortexbrain changes and typo fixes from KK initramfs 
- zzmoove will now use alucard as the default hotplugging driver. 
- Add toggle for power efficient workqueues. Enable to save power, disable for performance. Fixed parameter permissions. If you disable this, Cortexbrain will automatically switch on this during sleep state to save battery. Avoid using Kernel Adiutor to set this value as stweaks can do this properly.

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b020 (STABLE)[/B]
- Full update to 2016 January CM12.1 Ramdisk - Stability improved, smoother operation and better experience. Thanks realex-fire!
- Bugs fixes and dorimanx features fixed from previous ramdisk updates

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b019 (BETA)[/B]
- GCC 5.x support. Starting from this build, we will see UBER 5.3 experimental builds for those who want the best performance they can get. Thanks @chhapil
- Toolchain GCC Version is also included now in zip file name so we don't get confused
- Ramdisk updated once again to CM12.1 October 15th build
- Remove root installer and remover from stweaks to prevent people from breaking root

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b018 (STABLE)[/B]
- Many changes to the LMK/OOM management. Synced values with DorimanX LG G2 and CM12.1. Now much more aggressive than before. Prior to this was the reason why we had such bad RAM management.
- All profiles are now set to default OOM settings. Default is now the same as the settings found in stock CM12.1. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b017 (BETA)[/B]
- Fixed all issues found in previous build
- Bring back SIO scheduler, deleted SIOPlus (Doesn't work on DorimanX)

- tick: Fix a bug which impacts CPU frequency scaling

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b015 (BETA)[/B]
- Reduced swappiness from 60 to 40 (Will only swap when under heavier loads, before it was too aggressive) 
- Includes latest LP freeze fix patch from Zeitferne (Note: This is not the final fix, this is an attempt to solve current freeze issues. If you want to help debug, use the proper kernel given by Zeitferne!)
- This build will be built with Linaro and UBER

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b014 (BETA)[/B]
- Enabled zram and set zram to 300MB by default 
- Synced all net, TCP Cubic, ipv4, ipv6 and mutex updates from KK branch
- Change the VM_MAX_READAHEAD value to 512KB for best throughput
- Upstreamed kernel version to 3.15.0 stable! Lots and lots of fixes for various parts of the kernel, once again, thanks to realex-fire for contributing! ;)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b013 (BETA) - Linaro[/B]
- This build is built with latest Linaro 4.9 from Christopher83

- Last release built with UBER toolchain

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b012 (BETA)[/B]
[B]This is a long awaited update that should make cyanogenmod experience better again!!![/B]
- Changed toolchain back to UBER 4.9 and updated to latest version
- Updated Cyanogenmod ramdisk to October 15th
- Fixed all zzmoove tunables in stweaks. I'm not adding more tunables for zzmoove since it will cause stability issues. 
- proper zzmoove profile switching has been added (previous solution was more of a workaround). 
- Allow tunable mode for zzmoove (It's just no profile set, this is required if you want to manually adjust zzmoove values)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b011 (BETA)[/B]
- Revert Custom profiles 1, 2 and 3 and related fixes
- Revert GPU changes
- Updated default profile

- More work on Wifi-driver to get Ad-hoc networks working (Still not working yet)
- Many minor changes to stweaks descriptions
- Updated kernel update check function (Doesn't work yet, I think it's because there is 2 'v' in the kernel version and build version, in other words it is a WIP!)
- We're moving back to Linaro 4.9 (Less bugs, more performance!)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b005 (BETA)[/B]
- Wifi drivers updated to 1.141.44 thanks to @stelistcristi
- Updated to latest UBER toolchain
- Switched to UBER 4.9 toolchain instead of 4.8
- Revert: "allowed IO Read Ahead up to 4096KB"

Downloads

--STOP!!! IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ--

It is important that you make a backup before flashing this kernel. If you want to restore the original kernel found in your ROM, you need to restore from a backup or clean flash your ROM.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

For TRIM users:
To use TRIM, you can download an app on the app store called trimmer or use terminal commands as directed in the troubleshooting guide.

Isorec (Isolated Recovery)
Starting from build b022, I have introduced isorec into DorimanX kernel. You can use either TWRP or CWM. It is important to note that the default CWM recovery has kernel specific options within the menus, so if you require to use them, be sure to flash the isorec disabler.

Download for isorec recoveries:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=47550

If you have a dualboot setup or if you want to set up dualboot, you should stay on StanTRC recovery. If you want to return to StanTRC recovery, flash the isorec disabler:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960682947

Forgot to download backup/older kernel/isorec disabler after flashing TWRP?
Go to download mode and flash a kernel .tar file OR wait until OS boots and copy required files to your phone

Which build should I use?
Linaro 4.9: Use this build for best stability. Battery life is better than UBER 6.1 and is the smoothest. Most users should use these builds.
UBER 6.1: Use this build for best performance. UBER 6.1 contains bleeding edge optimizations that may not be fully reliable yet, so this toolchain is better suited for advanced users.

Go with the build that is the best for you. You are the one that is making the changes so you are responsible for choosing what experience you want with the kernel! If you are still not sure which build to choose, use the Linaro 4.9 build first.

Main download link:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=43490

Mirror download link:
https://github.com/gsstudios/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/releases

Beta builds and stable builds will only be uploaded on AFH and github.

In order to tweak the kernel properly, you need to install stweaks from the play store, or from the apk linked here, or from the XDA downloads page, or from the apk in the attachments below:

Troubleshooting

For general help, please use the Q&A thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/qa-dorimanx-lp-5-x-x-t3161661

Q: Why flash your kernel? - For new users of DorimanX kernel
DorimanX kernel is an aftermarket kernel (or custom kernel) that is designed to allow users to tweak their phone at the kernel or near-hardware level side of things. In other words, users get more fine-grained control over their phone, this includes overclocking, underclocking, changing behavior of CPU/GPU etc. Adjusting such settings isn't for the faint-hearted since there is many things to understand, but you aren't required to understand all of the settings. Ultimately, if you want to improve your phone experience, try DorimanX kernel!

Q:How do I flash your kernel?
A: You flash kernels like flashing ROMs, except you don't have to factory reset your phone. However, if you are official CM12.1 nightly, you will have to flash the kernel differently (if you want to flash my old unsigned builds).
Method A: If you get signature verification errors, you need to sign the zip with a program like Sign-em or Sign+.

Method B: To flash this kernel on official CM12.1 nightly, you first need to flash Philz recovery on your phone via ODIN. Here is the link to the for philz recovery: Philz Touch Recovery After that, you can flash the kernel like normal.

Method C: Another way is to create a kernel .tar file by extracting the zimage file located in /boot folder of the kernel zip then create a .tar archive. Then flash it in ODIN. Here is the guide to create your own kernel tar file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381 For your convenience, I've create a tar file of build b002 in the guide linked.

Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Beta builds will always have the latest features and should be fine to use as a daily driver. Stable builds have been thoroughly tested for issues, but are usually older than current builds. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.

Q: Which app should I use to tweak the kernel?
You should only use stweaks to tune DorimanX kernel.

Q: Can I use isorec recovery on DorimanX kernel?
A: Yes you can. All important information was covered in the OP already!

Q: Why should I flash your builds when the last 'real' unofficial build was v008?
A: If you don't want to enjoy awesome features that improve the experience of dorimanx kernel, then it doesn't worry me. Real or not, I don't build kernels to have bad battery life, bad stability and etc. This is my personal build of dorimanx kernel!

Q: Wifi doesn't work after I flash this kernel
A: There are several possible causes to this issue, there could be a problem with your:

- Partitions OR
- Permissions OR
- Gapps OR
- ROM OR
- Compatibility with your wifi hardware

Don't use a pit with modded preload! It will just cause issues with ROMs and Kernels. Use stock pit or use a pit with unmodded preload. Sometimes, the gapps package you flash somehow breaks compatibility with the kernel. You can fix this by flashing a different gapps (making sure to clean cache and dalvik). If you have permissions problem, you can fix this by repartitioning your internal sd card or by reflashing back to stock rom. Sometimes, the ROM doesn't fully support the wireless drivers in the kernel, this can be solved by flashing a different ROM or different kernel. But if your wifi hardware is not compatible (a way to tell this is when you have tried everything and failed), there is nothing you can do but reflash the rom or flash a different kernel.

Q: I came from a different custom kernel that used Stweaks, now the app has issues
A: Every time you come from a different custom kernel with stweaks support, make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache after install dorimanx kernel

Q: My battery life sucks after flashing this kernel!
A: Download and install Betterbatterystats and see what is the culprit to your problem. If it is kernel related, have you made sure you have wipe cache and dalvik and reset stweaks settings? If yes, it would be nice if you posted a logcat.

Q: How do I get a logcat for the kernel?
A: In stweaks, go to BUG-REPORT and tap on KERNEL-BUG.

Q: Why do I get bootloops with this kernel?
A: If you were on a working version on dorimanx before, there is probably something wrong with the installation. Sometimes, bootloops can occur due to corruption of the kernel zip file (usually from bad download) or from corrupted partitions.

Q: What do all of the settings mean? They are all confusing!
A: Please note that DorimanX kernel isn't for users who have just rooted their device. Before jumping into the custom kernel world, try playing around with other kernels first. Once you think you have some experience, read the stweaks beginners guide I made and then attempt to tweak the kernel using stweaks.

Q: How do I trim my partitions?
BEWARE: Make sure you have read all of the precautions before attempting to trim your partitions!

A: install the trimmer app from the playstore. App link . Check for all 3 partitions, and tap on run. grant root access. the 3 fstrim operations should be successful ("partition was trimmed" means success).

alternatively, instead of using trimmer you can run one of these commands (these are better because they also trim /preload):
# on the phone in the terminal app:
su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"

# on your PC if you are connected to the phone via adb:
adb shell su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"
reboot.

Q: My device is (hard) bricked after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you read all of the precautions before installing the kernel? You made the decision to flash the kernel and now you've stuffed up your phone.

Q: I get constant FCs after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you wiped your cache partition, dalvik cache and reset stweaks settings? If you've done all of these already, a logcat would be nice

Q: How do I use dual boot?
A: There are many guides on how to dual boot roms using dorimanx kernel. Just use the search function on XDA or GOOGLE it!

Q: What's a good combination for CPU governor and I/O scheduler?
A: Have a look at the default settings, they are optimised for our phone

However, here are some settings I recommend:

CPU Governor: HYPER/zzmoove/Darkness

I/O Scheduler: CFQ/BFQ/ZEN/Deadline/SIO

Q: Why does the screen turn blank after the dorimanx logo appears during the boot process?
A: If your kernel doesn't bootloop, but the screen remains blank, there is a good chance that the ROM that you've used uses an older version of GPU drivers (Mali). This kernel only support ROMs with Maliv3 support. If you flash this kernel on MaliV2 or MaliV1 only roms, you will get a blank screen after flashing. To fix this, flash to the kernel the corresponds to your mali driver version and you should get your display back.

Q: What is a TCP algorithm?
A: Congestion control strategies (or algorithms) are used by TCP, the data transmission protocol used by many Internet applications. The main goal of a TCP algorithm is to avoid sending more data than the network is capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion.

Q: What is a toolchain?

Q: What is UBER?

Q: What is Linaro?

I'm still building it right now. Will upload soon, will have my features from my personal builds on top of lysergic acids fixes.

Saber · Jun 29, 2015

First build up. Can't test since I'm on kitkat rom right now. Will update to LP when I have the chance to.

Noctis Lucis Caelum · Jun 29, 2015

Ah man...... Here It is, great can you make a non trim version, pretty plsí*½í¸Š

I'm not on my PC right now. Probably will upload new build tomorrow (running out of space in my build machine). Would be great if someone reports the issues they encounter and what's working.

ssanjy · Jun 29, 2015

Great to see a dedicated thread for Dorimanx Kernel for S2's lollipop support.....Subscribed and will be testing whenever I get time....Great job man....Good luck....

kostelo · Jun 29, 2015

I tried it so far both on SlimLP and Omni and failed to boot on both.

Bootloop on SlimLP and stuck on boot on Omni. Gonna keep on testing though.

Edit: Managed to boot on CM12.1 finally. Let's see how it goes.

Only cm12.1 ramdisk was merged. I'm working with lysergic acid and hopefully warrior to get it working on more roms.

little report about dualboot

Hi all, i quoted myself and about what i have done.
maybe that can help for more test, i found one rom that dualbooted, didnt test another for now.

And , i forgot to add yesterday that sdcard (int card) wasnt mounted when i ran 2nd LP rom.

thanks.

Hi @Lysergic Acid, sory for OT, little report about DUALBOOT i gave a try about it right now

i was on SlimLP build#12 from @warrior1208, runing Apolo 8 beta9 EXTv2.
i backuped SlimLP and formatted cache/dalvik/data
then i flashed pac_i9100_LP-MR1.Beta-2.Unofficial_20150628-122342 , new release from @phenomarc.
i rebooted the rom with his stock kernel and let it run 15min.
then, reboot recovery and i flashed your DORIMANX LP version and rebbot, the pac_i9100_LP-MR1.Beta-2 booted fine.
then , i rebooted again recovery (STANtrc) and restored the previous build from @phenomarc with my TBO black modified i have , on 2nd rom space i have kept with old SPIRIT 4.4.4, and rebooted .
At boot, this time i choose 2nd rom , and 2nd rom booted !

Thanks , You save dualboot for US , Man , ITS ENORMOUS

Lysergic Acid said:
Good to know that feature is already working mate, I had no clue about that honestly, cause the ramdisk for that needs two inits, two fstabs, etc

No idea which language it is.

Dori for LP on S2, didn't see that coming, but will test asap with Slimsaber LP, and check if it works. Pedestre stopped apolo development and gustavo's kernel is also kinda dead so it's the only one left.

Don't drop it please!

It won't boot on Slimsaber LP at the moment, only CM12.1 based ROM, ramdisk incompatibility.

Edit : Apolo 8 beta 9 Omni boots slimsaber fine by the way, sorry didn't mean to speak of another kernel here.

Sorry for stupid question... Is this twrp based?
Or is that complete other?
Works for AOSP roms, right?

It's indeed for AOSP ROMs It's CWM based. I'm currently using it with CM12.1 by @Lysergic Acid.

EDIT: Oops, you beat me to it, @NoctisBlade. Perhaps what I can add is that so far I've been having great stability and battery life.
