GalaTab3 Kernels for either JellyBean or KitKat ROMS - SM-T310 8.0 - TouchWiz
Warning:
As always, flash at your own risk. I'm not responsible, in any way, for what you flash, copy, fiddle with, poke, molest or otherwise screw with on your phone or tablet....
*** Important ***
- I recommend using TricksterMod or a similar CPU/Kernel modification app to adjust the settings/configurations. Although I am a huge fan of Faux123 and his Kernel app, it does not play nice with Exynos CPU's or Mali GPU's (especially the two together). Maybe it will in time, but only someone of his genius can figure it out. But, I have implemented the features specifically to allow TricksterMod to have full access to the controls. You can get the app HERE
USB Audio Mod for JellyBean ROM's ONLY
Flash this file to allow USB Audio functionality to work 100%. This will work in conjunction with my kernel and allow you to use external DAC's and bypass the internal audio hardware/software completely. This provides MUCH better sound quality and higher bitrates (depending on the DAC you choose to use).

Releases & Downloads
Version 14.7.16 (KitKat) - Download - KitKat ROM's ONLY
- STOCK KitKat NF4 4.4.2 Kernel
- Built from newly released source code by Samsung
- Added Root/SuperSU binaries
- Added Init'd Functionality
- Added mock location functionality in default prop
This is the base in which I will be building the new KitKat custom kernels from. Obviously, I wanted to add some of the basic functions, like Root and Init'd so nothing is reverted from any custom ROM's you may have flashed. This is not a copy of the kernel from the stock ROM.... This is built against the source code. I will be adding features and customizing this kernel shortly and will begin uploading the new versions ASAP. My main focus is to get it overclocked first and then I will fine tune some of the stock features and add new stuff along the way.
Version 14.5.27 (JellyBean) https://www.mediafire.com/?b0h9ii661x113d9
- Last JellyBean Kernel Release
- Same features as Version 14.4.8r2
- Camera now working. Fixed driver loading error.
- Refreshed source code and toolchain
- Adjusted charging current for USB, Dock and Misc charging modes. Now all register as "A/C" current.
- Misc code updates and fine tuning.
Version 14.4.8r2 (JellyBean)https://www.mediafire.com/?m29aztntz2jx613
- Cleaned up some code
- Speed modifications to allow for smoother daily use
- Transitioned some kernel modules to be built in primary image for faster load times
- Finished adding Sweep2Wake code - still needing to finalize trigger processes (so feature is not active yet)
- Adjusted USB Audio function at Kernel level. Will provide an updated framework file to implement this fully and allow for 100% native function. Allows total compatibility with external DAC's and complete bypass of internal audio hardware/software.
Version 14.4.3 (JellyBean)https://www.mediafire.com/?kv44k85q41878y9
- Reverted some edits to allow previous steady kernel workflow
- Added additional USB Audio/Video Kernel functions based on user requests
(You now do not need proprietary apps to play to external dacs or video decoders)
- Additional dock features added for broader compatibility
- Reverted Init'd files to previous versions
Version 14.3.25 r2 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/t60k13chcat5b3f/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.3.25_r2.zip
- Fixed Init.d Functionality Problems. Now runs on boot as it is supposed to
- Revised several of the init.d scripts from past releases and added several new ones.
- Enabled Debugging & Mock Locations by default.
- Added several Audio Interface and DAC drivers (some as modules, some built in). This will allow for a much broader driver base for external DAC's connected via USB.
After flashing and booting, I highly recommend you set your Trickster settings again (and remember to set to boot). The new tweaks adjust some of the kernel performance values and if you use your old Trickster profile, it will reset these new values to those of previous releases. I will be evaluating and adjusting these new values in future releases to determine which have the best results on our devices.
"Stock" GalaTab3 Init.d Files (Flashable) - http://www.mediafire.com/download/u2slgste63dpx1l/GalaTab3_Original_Init.d_Files_Flashable.zip
Flash this if you want to use the normal Init.d Files with the new kernel.
Version 14.3.18 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/xbx12xq493n68e8/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.3.18.zip
- Updated/Enhanced SLUB performance features. Allows for much faster ROM and file systems
- Adjusted ExFat file system calls within kernel. Now loads ExFat file systems twice as fast.
- Added initial code for Sweep2Wake and DoubleTap2Wake features. NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED YET - need to fine tune some parameters to make these features compatible on our devices.
Version 14.1.6 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/8ycwqq7wt4kaqi5/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.1.6.zip
- Added 3 CPU Governors for extra versatility - SmartAss3, Lulzactiveq & zzmoove (Thanks Civato!!!!)
- Updated LZO Compression code to allow for vastly improved performance and compression speed (helps with many aspects of I/O speeds and boot times)
OLDER RELEASES/INFORMATION
**** To enable OTG plus Charging, your OTG cable must have a 64.9k Ohm resistor between the ground and sense ID pins. This will engage the SmartDock function on the tablet, allowing for OTG/USB Hub, MHL, USB Audio and Device Charging simultaneously.
- Please search Google and XDA for making your own OTG cable. This thread is NOT for asking questions about building cables, problems with OTG function, etc..... I have enabled full function in this kernel and this has been extensively tested by several users - IT WORKS!!!!.****
- In order to utilize the OTG and MHL functions, you will need to add an additional hub or MHL port to your OTG cable. Again, this is not the forum for asking how to do this - use Google and XDA as resources on how to build. Chances are, if you don't know how to do this, then you should not be using this function anyway.....
- OTG Charging requires you connect the device to an AC Samsung Charger (OEM, the one that came with device) or a DC Charger that provides 5V, 2+ amp output. Connecting to another charger without this output will limit the functionality of the charging feature.
- I HIGHLY Suggest using an external powered hub to connect additional USB devices (Memory Sticks, Keyboards, Mouse, Bluetooth, Modem, Etc...).
This is just the beginning and the first release of this kernel. There will still be bugs and quirks that will need to be ironed out. I'm actively working on several features for our SM-T310 devices and future releases will contain major feature upgrades and bug fixes (that are native in Samsung's Source Code).
Enjoy and I will update the OP with add'l information on releases as I have them complete. Do not ask for ETA's!!!!! I will not release until I feel comfortable with the stability and functions. I'm almost finished with my ROM as well, which will contain this kernel. Just need to finalize some theming. I'll release that this week.
