Kernel with exfat support and mtkcamera for Dirty Unicorns 6.0.1

[maz-1]

Dirty Unicorns 6.0.1 is probably the best marshmallow rom for amami so far , although it has some problems: camera app cannot take pictures at 20.7mp, and exfat-formated sdcard is not supported.
So I made a kernel to fix these problems. You can flash with twrp or flashfire.
Kernel_Amami_AOSP_6_20160709.zip contains aosp kernel built with exfat-nofuse and some other features, as well as other executables or libraries needed to identify and mount exfat(vold , blkid etc.) This may work with other aosp 6.0.1 based roms, but I never tried by myself.
2016.06.18 : I ported some features from other kernels like M5 kernel. Features included:
1. Various cpufreq governors, hotplug drivers and i/o schedulers
2. KCAL color control by @savoca
3. Faux Sound Control V3
4. CPU/GPU OC & UV
5. Vibrator intensity control
6. Ultra-ksm
7. Kexec-hardboot
8. Dynamic Fsync 1.2
9. Mac80211 injection patch and HID patch for keyboard support
10. Sysfs interface to Enable / Disable CRC on the data blocks
11. Exfat and Paragon NTFS(UFSD)
12. Zram
13. Merge upstream patches up to 3.10.102

MtkCamera.zip contains camera app from Mediatek devices with lollipop. It can take 20.7mp photos(3936 x 5248) and has some useful features like visual effects and qrcode scanner.

If you're interested, Myself5 is willing to release M5 for Amami, but needs a maintainer, since he doesn't have a Z1c anymore. Maybe you can work with him on M5 for AOSP...

Is he working on a 3.10.9x kernel ?

This is from main thread latest version...

cool, I guess I will be a tester then.

He did say that testers won't really help. Without a device of his own, he'll need a maintainer.

Well, I mean I will build, test and submit fixes if possible. But I'm afraid I don't have the time and knowledge to take over all the maintenance. Any other volunteers?

maybe we can jointly maintain ?

Sounds good.

I've already ported a bunch of features to aosp kernel, just check out the commit history.
What left to be done : GPU governors, A few hotplug drivers/cpufreq governors not ported(hotplug : alucard , mako , intelliplug , cpufreq : HYPER, OndemandPlus, Nightmare , ElementalX, maybe more) , some of these features need to be modifeid or abandoned.

Hi, I install this, work well, but camera still laggy . What do you think, how else you can improve the image processing? The picture was much too sharp ... but it's better than before.
And...you can also add in your kernel any functions like as KryptonianKernel or AdvancedKernel

Laggy camera is a driver issue, just wait until sony updates software binaries for amami.

Hmm, why you delete MTKCamera? You have another app for taking photo in 21mp?)

 

[maz-1]

MTKCamera cannot use frontcam. I think @SpiritCroc will try to add 20.7mp option to SnapdragonCamera, so wait for a new release.

I already added it, will probably be in next weekly

libjhead with this patch :
https://gist.github.com/updateing/2b58ebd4a8c75780443f28f514e9bb39

Photos token by Android N may contain wrong exif infomation and cause app crash on marshmallow/lollipop.

need help - CPU GOVs and frequencies

Hi,
first of all thanks for the kernel! I'm just migrated from RR Lollipop to MM DU ROM (today to the build of 17. June). I have strange issues with the kernel.
I can not change the CPU govs. More critical: The minimum CPU frequency is shown to be 1.8 GHz. Whatever I try, I cannot get the values gov/freq to stick.
Always when I reopen an tuning app, the settings are reverted.
Root seems to work fine. Also tried to disable SE-linux via terminal ("setenforce 0"). The same.

(Combinations I tried: kernel audiutor, performance control, system tuner... also on DU (3. june) + kernel (5. june)

Can somebody help me out?
Who can permanently adjust the CPU settings on DU with/without this kernel?

Thanks in advance!
