Hello,
Let me introduce a kernel that I've been using every day. Despite the name which is me, the actual developer of this kernel is aatjitra, so please thank him. Since he is using N7105 and for ease of reports, we decided to make a separate thread for the International Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 model. So it is me that will maintain this thread for N7100. Of course with the help of him to answer questions.
For GT-N7105 model, please visit the original thread here
TerraBuzz kernel is created for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that will suits daily usage. There is no cutting edge and fancy development for this kernel as it's made as close as stock kernel based on source code provided by Samsung. Only cherrypick modification/enhancement from other developers to be implemented in this kernel. This kernel is fast, stable, and battery friendly. All tweaks and modifications are carefully tested to ensure great performance without compromising Galaxy Note II standard features.
Some unnecessary debug and log is also removed to make this kernel as light as possible.

- Revert jRCU
- Block optimization for IO Scheduler
- Fixed some parameters in STweak
- STweak Support for BUS/Internal Scaling, Voltage Interface
- STweak Support for GPU Scaling, Voltage Interface, Clock/Frequency Interface
- Support CPU scaling for Frequency for Responsiveness to improve smoothness on low frequency
- Support CPU for Fast Down Scaling for aggresive down scaling. Possible to save battery life
- Modification on Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased
- If you have used TerraBuzz PR2.5 beta version, please remove folder /data/.TerraTweak to reset STweak completely
- Support CPU Overclock up to 1800 MHz (adjustable via setcpu, system tuner, android tuner, etc)
- Support GPU Undervolt (adjustable via android tuner, etc)
- Support GPU Overclock up to 800 MHz (adjustable via android tuner, etc)
- Added Boeffla Sound Engine 1.6.0 (via Boeffla Sound from Google Play)
- Bug fixing for CRT Animation
- Default CPU Gov: pegasusq (to make it more battery friendly while screen on)
- Default IO Scheduler: deadline (tested using AndroBench and it gives the best result)
Credits and Thanks
Any feedback, let's discuss it...
