ok. I make many versions so i may have uploaded a wrong one.

Btw, I will remake the kernel and upload again to make sure home button is fixed, and will add interactive for you.

Ah thanks then.

the new kernel is attached. let me know how it goes.

Still nothing, and I just noticed Kernel Adiutor only shows 1 core, the second can't be seen so is it just a visual bug? Btw for the Interactive tunables, can these options be made editable?
go_hispeed_load
timer_slack
target_loads

I would suggest full wipe and reinstall the rom, or double check with other rom if there is hardware prob with the home key.

The one core active is a feature to save juice. when the load is high two cores will be active.

For interactive governor edit: if you use setcpu you can edit go_hispeed_load and some other values.

otherwise you need to edit the file: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_interactive.c in the source code.

Kernel Adiutor isn't showing the second core, so probably a bug or something. The options for the tunable listed isn't available, so I'll probably use an init.d script somewhere. I checked, other roms are okay with the home button. I'm able to manually enter recovery as well, probably some weird hardware problem on my end.

I guess so. mines is working fine with the V1 kernel. Will wait for other feedback if it is indeed a problem. tks for the feedback!

I forgot, there wasn't any lockscreen or swipe to unlock when pressing the power button, the entire thing was disabled and can't change lock types so I'm brought straight to homescreen. The home button will wakeup the screen but that's all, even the home softkey was unresponsive. Maybe I'll try to redownload a new zip or install via twrp.

tks for informing. I look forward to further feedback after re-download.

Welp, redownload and reinstall from stock rom didn't help either. Each instances my lockscreen did not appear, I think some function might've got fried in my chips or something. Oh welp >.>

The symptoms looks like you have prob with either csc or efs folder.

- for CSC. you should flash the correct rom for your country/region. download from samfirmware. This issue is simple.

- if it still does not work, then it could be efs: need to have a back up of your efs folder to restore.

(btw my rom/kernel does not touch efs folder.)

Thanks, I'll do a reflash/restore of those when I get the time. It could be my efs then, since I was using my country's stock rom.

Flashed sweet rom with the kernel, now home button is working.
Found the same problem in here but none of the fixes suggested are working.

Hi, I love the speed of this rom but how do I adjust the OC & governor? Well done forest!

Free No-frills should work, paid setcpu is better. Cheers.

This is a very good rom. I used stock JB rom and tried a lot of custom roms from either of stock base or CM. But this rom is by far responsive and fluid. Furthermore it is stable because of being a stock based rom. I would really recommend this rom anyday. I don't know why the other people who have Note phone aren't interested in this rom. This rom should be more popular for good. Thanks Forest!

PS. I have encountered no problem on V1 kernel and ICS rom except battery hog when a bluetooth earpiece gets connected(phone doesn't go sleep mode even if screen is off).
I tried V2 kernel out of curiosity, but it doesn't see 5Ghz wireless signal, which makes me to revert back V1 kernel. I'm happy with V1 kernel despite the small glitch.

I made a V3 kernel that fix video recording and improve battery compared to V1. It works great for me. This one have CPU OC 1.6 and stock gpu.

Enjoy.

V3 kernel works great for me too.

The battery problem with v1 kernel has been solved and it works a lot smoother than before.

Thank you for sharing a great rom and kernel.

Hi,

i just tested this rom with the latest kernel and can confirm that it's very fluid and responsive.

After the installation i faced a heating problem while the phone was charging. A restart solved it and now it is cold as i used to know it. Perhaps it was caused by the settle down period after a fresh installation.

Now I'm trying to create a new google account but it always says that the mail address is not available. I already dated Google Play Services and Google Account Manager up. Any suggestions? How did you manage it?

Not sure what cause it. May be google is not supporting create new aacount with ics. Have you tried to log on with an existing gmail account? I'm on aother rom so cannot test it.
