* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, DO NOT
* point the finger at me for messing up your device.
* this kernel is only for the S5 mini SM-G8OOF/M/Y (Exynos) Do Not Flash this on any other device!
*/19-10-2017 * Updated to v6.0 * Changes are in red or can be seen at the bottom of this post in the changelog: I am always applying patches to hopefully improve the kernel,so check out the "Patches and tweaks applied" section for a better view of the changes as well.
Notes
- ALWAYS read the "Known Issues" section before flashing. I will add issues I have noticed or have been told about. Some may be VERY important. If you fail to do this and experience an issue that is listed I can not help you!
- SELinux is set to permissive in this kernel. You can change this to enforcing at boot if you wish via an app like Kernel Adiutor-Mod
- About voltage control: Setting frequencies that are unstable are going to cause lockups,freezes and reboots. This is NOT a fault in the kernel. My suggestion is to move the voltages up or down slowly (+/- 25) until you find some stable voltages that you're happy with.
- Enough people were having problems with the 1.6ghz overclocked version that I've decided to release a non overclocked (1.5ghz) build as well. I would recommend trying the 1.6ghz and only if you experience a bootloop or instability then use the 1.5ghz version. I will not keep older versions of the 1.5ghz build up. Only the latest.
- Having troubles deciding on a CPU governor or an I/O scheduler? Here is an amazing guide. All credits to Saber. Be sure to hit the thanks button. He obviously put a lot of time into that.
- Based on the latest Samsung kernel sources
- Built an updated Sqlite3 (from version 3.9.2 -> 3.19.3 that will be pushed along with the kernel install (you can verify this by running "sqlite3 --version" in a terminal emulator before the new kernel install and then again after)
- Compiled with self-built (ct-ng) UBERTC 8.0
- Patched Linux to latest 3.4.113
- Used anykernel2
- Unlocked CPU frequencies: 200MHZ and 300MHZ
- GPU overclocked to 600MHZ
- CPU Overclocked to 1.6GHZ
- CPU voltage control ( Max voltage =1500mV. Min voltage =600mV)
- DriveDroid support (add sysfs entry for cdrom to LUNs)
- Implemented zen-tune v4.5
- Added CPU boost driver
- Added PIE net scheduler
- Added support for USB keyboards (You need This app)
- Reduced vm_swappiness from 60 to 20
- Added I/O scheduler switcher by sultanxda (changes the I/O scheduler for a specified request queue to Noop when the screen turns off in order to improve power consumption while the screen is off)
- Added Fsync on/off
- Added dynamic fsync
- Added Dynamic management of dirty page writebacks (allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended - Not adjustable via Grarak's Kernel Adiutor app)
- Proc: much faster /proc/vmstat
- Full CIFS support ( Modules will be pushed with kernel install )
- Introduced new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues ( Allows for power saving if selected in Kernel Adiutor ETC. )
- Added /dev/frandom support ( It is yet to be implemented properly yet however )
- Properly enabled faux123's powersuspend v2.5
- Fading LED's
- Enabled graphite
- Enabled AIO
- Readahead set to 512 (from 128 default)
- Reverted "Enabled arch power" (There will be a switch to enable/disable this in the next build)
- Many build flags for optimization
- Added optimization flags for the GPU
- Many more features being worked on and coming soon
Added CPU governors
- nightmare
- wheatley
- zzmoove
- dancedance
- darkness
- hyper
- lionheart
- ondemandplus
- bioshock
- pegasusq
- smartmax
- alucard (by alucard24)
- bluactive
- intelliactive (by faux123)
- intellidemand
Added CPU hotplug governors
- alucard hotplug (by alucard24)
- intelliplug hotplug (by faux123)
- thunderplug hotplug (by varun.chitre15)
- MSM Sleeper hotplug
- autoSMP hotplug
Added IO schedulers
- fiops
- sio
- zen
- fifo
- tripndroid
- bfq-v7r8
Added many TCP congestions
- reno
- vegas
- westwood and more
- Added the rest of the TCP congestions
- Westwood is now default TCP
