[KERNEL][SM_N9005/T][KitKat 4.4.2 Samsung based roms] CivZ-SnapKat-Rev2.0 (FauxSound-Intelli-Led-Synapse-mdnie-...)[24/feb/2014]

Note:
This Kernel is based on the Samsung 4.4.2 source.
I'm not a developer and not pretending to be one, I'm a android enthusiast.
Take it as it is and don't complain as this is free.
No requests.

Thanks to

• wootever, faux123, yank555, myfluxi, imoseyon & angelom.
• Andreilux for the Synapse app.
• .........Sorry if I forget someone please contact me and I will add you with pleasure.........
  
  This couldn't be possible without the XDA members mentioned above.

Installation:

• KNOX counter will be tripped to 0x01
• Make a EFS backup
• You need to be on the new KitKat bootloader & Samsung 4.4.2 based rom
• Install custom recovery.
• Flash with custom recovery

​

SM-N9005/900T
Moved back to the rom thread

Tip for the kernel SnapKat followers see my signature for updates. No official thread anymore, sorry.​

Note on Custom kernel:
There will be a warning at reboot : KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING = this is normal.
Screen mirroring will probably not work as this is a problem with all custom kernels.


Based on Samsung original KitKat source

Source @ Github

Changes compared to stock kernel.

• Selinux status = Permissive
• NTFS R/W support with the use of Paragon (see playstore)
• ExFat
• XZ compressed
• Build in init.d support
• insecure & adb insecure
• Power suspend driver_1.2 @ Faux123
• Synapse control added with various options: CPU control; Kernel controls...
• Led control_1.1 @ Yank555.lu (Only on SM_N9005)
• mdnie control_1.3 and synapse support @ Wootever
• Faux Sound_3.2 @ Faux123 & Wootever
• 2.88GHz Maximum overclock (unlock with Synapse app)
• TouchBoostdriver Min frequency locked = no more jumping to 1.1GHz as minimum frequency
• Voltage control thanks to myfluxi & synapse voltage control thanks to wootever. (Only on SM_N9005)
• Intelli HotPlug_2.0 & ECO Mode @ Faux123
• GPU Overclocking up to 533MHz
• Governors: Intellidemand , Conservative , Adaptive , ondemand , wheatly , powersave , interactive , performance.
• Schedulers: cfq , noop , bfq , deadline , vr , row , fiops , fifo , sio , zen.
• OC Unlock / lock setting in Synapse = Default is set at 2.265GHz stock speed. = Replacement for maximum frequency lock (Based on angelom max_limit)

Attention:
Led Extended control:
ONLY SUPPORTED ON SM_N9005

Voltage control:
ONLY SUPPORTED ON SM_N9005
The Higher your Maximum Frequency to less you can undervolt. The maximum undervolting is -40mV on synapse.
I recommend you use the synapse app only to control the kernel.

Synapse:
I recommend you use the include Synapse app to control the kernel feature. All build in features are supported with the synapse app.

Remember the Synapse app is created by Andreilux but if there are problems with the kernel and Synapse it is a kernel problem and not a app problem!!!!! Don't under-rate the Synapse app because of this. The Synapse app needs a kernel that support it, crashing is always a script error in the kernel and not in the app

Example of what it synapse looks like NOT representative for the one in the kernel !

What is exacty power suspend driver? And it is better than the default one? I cannot find any info with google :/ thx

oh and why you keep changing the mhz/mv values? In the katturbine kernel was 759mv for 300mhz now it is 775 aka default isnt it?

Take a look at github. Voltage then you get your answer. This is custom kernel development . I EXPECT that the user takes some time to read. If not best to stick to stock.

same as others. No more info about what governor ....... this is just talk.

Note to all users.
I need info . Not just it freezes. Wel the same here it is winter after all.
If no more info is provided the 900T support will be dropped as I dont have that phone.

EDIT.
PLEAS DON'T BE OFENDED AS THIS IS SEND WITH MY PHONE AND HATE TO TYPE LONG MESSAGES.

Hi, could you implement in your kernel as option something similar (to extend our battery lifetime)?

After flashing the phone with the kernel and letting it boot up and everything. If you put the phone to sleep for a few then try to wake it up the screen won't turn on but you can see the led light up if you got a notification but the buttons don't light up on the button. With the freezing part of it. If you start playing around with the phone opening apps and stuff the phone will freeze. Or trying to set the kernels settings will cause it to freeze up

Get logs or something. We don't even know what rom you are using.

For the record, I have had no issue with the kernel both the "unreleased" 1.1 or 1.2. Running smoothly on xnote. Not a single restart or freezing. :good:

same thing here...runs awesome, benchmarks well, no freezes until i turn the screen off, go get a coffee...come back and as soon as i get it out of standby, it ll reboot or freeze...if it reboots, it works ok for about 5 mins and restarts again. If it reboots another time, synaps resets...but in another 5 minutes of scrolling around facebook or some other app/webpage...it reboots again - so that s even with stock everything. It s a shame... i have a n9005 i m from Romania.

Keep up the good work man!

PS - Running x-note rom 9.0

What pvs-bin you got . 1or 3. And are you using inttelidemand governor. Im going to update that governor as I causes some problems on my phone. That is the only problem I'm having. Inttelidemand 5.0. So next will be back 4.7 as that one was stable on kitkat.

Next you had the same problem on rev 1.1 if I'm correct. In that version was no powersuspend driver and no dynamic fsync. I will make a version without touch driver edit and see if that solves the problem.

try rev1.1 previous version, i see a sync error. maybe it got to do with dynamic fsync. Rev1.1 dosn't have dynamic fsync.
Also a app battery widget giving a lot of errors.
