[ROM] Mondego (*experimental*, minimalist && performance-oriented, + FrancoKernel)
Mondego r1.6.9
~~~~~
I am proud to bring you Mondego, a ROM project brought to you by the joint forces of me and franciscofranco, whose work you should recognize if you're familiar with the Optimus One community.
Before we start, I have to warn you: Mondego's philosophy is minimalism and performance. It will be the fastest froyo you'll ever have tried (or so all our beta-testers have told us). And it will also be the one with less applications and other trash. See, we are firm believers that android's market exists for a reason; each one has his own tastes when it comes to applications so we are not going to impose you with anything unless the bare minimum. You'll soon understand what I mean. Now let us commence.

If you grew in love with this ROM and kernel or if you just want to show your appreciation for the time we spend on trying to improve your phone, consider making a donation. It'll surely help to keep us going. You can do it through here and afterwards send a PM to franciscofranco if you wish to see your name in the credits. May I also add that he did all his work on the kernel without even having this phone, imagine if he does - give him a hand.
Also, support, suggestions and bug reporting will be easier if you just tweet me. Look into my sig.
looks very nice how is the battery on this?

I've just had a report, 3 hours ~ 0%
yes, looks nice. but the missing USB mode is a no go for me.
screenshots perhaps?
wow. noejn
Hey everyone. Sorry about the USB problem, I currently have no idea why it doesn't work because I haven't changed anything about that. Am currently searching and it's my main priority, so try it out, I'll have it fixed asap.
Wow. A perfect work from the Noejn&Francisco Franco combo. You are really awsome. Thank you for your hard work.
Everyone should use their ROM and kernel and donate to them. At least, please thank them.
im really surprised. noejn and and franciscofranco is modding for optimus 2x...
im now using your work on my optimus one and your rom and your kernel made my optimus felt like a dual core. haha,
Good news, we have a hint on the usb mass storage issue.
We'll now test the solution.
nice rom!very fast!good work! go on!
but don`t understand me wrong pls
cm7 nightly got around 90 mb
your rom got 184 mb
so not very minimalistic 4 me
But great work and keep on

Search button doesn't work because there is no google search.
And if by home button you mean the homescreens display, that's launcher-wise.
Gapps link fixed, thanks.
i tried installing go launcher ex. when i press the home button it wont go to the homescreen, and also nothing happens if you hold the home button
p.s. the kernel can be overclocked to 1550mhz.
its now stock 1100mhz.
Works perfect for me with go launcher even the search button works. The only app I miss is talk its not include with the gapps package.

I'm 99.99% sure that this ROM looks the same as the stock Gingerbread.

Already merged full Voodoo improvements into the kernel, so it will be included in the next release
Can you tell me what makes this rom different from the stock rom or other aosp based roms ? Is it that your rom is really close to stock with some tweaks ?
ASking this pure out of curiosity .. quite a few roms posted here so deciding which one to choose is getting harder
This ROM is very close to stock. It's the perfect ROM for my personal use.
The differences between this ROM and the stock Google one are:
* this ROM is not odexed
* this ROM is built upon android gingerbread (latest source, newer than 2.3.3)
* this ROM is rooted and includes busybox
* the kernel is the latest linux kernel 2.6.35 stable : 2.6.35.12 with BFQ and Voodoo improvements (sound, ext4 and color in the next version)
* the apns list of cyanogenmod is included
* the hosts file is up to date (thanks to AdFree)
* this ROM is able to run scripts in /system/etc/init.d/ during boot
* the reboot menu from cyanogenmod will be included in the next version
* some other tweaks I've forgotten
thanks for your explanation ! Going to give your rom a try .
I have a small question : because it is build from aosp source that means that there is no full support for some european languages, right ? I am from the netherlands and noticed that als aosp based roms do not have full dutch language support ( eg dutch dictionary for the keyboard) like my european stock gri54 has ..
Wait for the 0.2b version I'm uploading it tonight and there will be a full german language support in it
the germans are my neighbours I am from the netherlands (dutch / nederlands) , great though that you are building in support for other languages .
Ooops sorry, I've misunderstood! Unfortunately, there won't be a dictionnary for your language I'll try to find it, though. But I don't think it exists :/
Well no big deal .. I solved it by buying gingerbread keyboard in the market ..the paid version has an option to download dutch language from the market .. I wanted to use that dictionary for the stock gingerbread keyboard but I do not have the skills to do that ..
this is the language pack I am talking about : https://market.android.com/details?...d.latin.languagepack.nl&feature=search_result
Still strange that stock gri54 has the dutch dictionary ..
Just uploaded 0.2 beta for details, see the first post.
great.. gonna try .. thanks
edit: internal server error on 02b link
good going!!!
Sorry guys, there is an issue with 0.2b upload.. Will fix it tomorrow (too tired right now)

Please do not expect any more updates for them in future, no maintenance and no bugfixing. ***
Hi all,
this is the thread about the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 international.
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Samsung Stock firmware and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Notes:
Never install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Kernel version 5.x are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.3.x roms!!!
Kernel version 6.x is only for ported Samsung based Kitkat 4.4.2 roms (e.g. Archiport) !!!
Kernel version 7.x is only for ported Samsung based Kitkat 4.4.4 roms (e.g. back-to-n00t) !!!
Kernel versions 1-4 are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.1.x roms!!! (no development anymore)
For the CM Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:

Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.

History
Basically I created Boeffla-Kernel as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration" (I do not like it, but I like the crispy stock colours)
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) firmwares. It is not designed to run on AOSP based roms!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
You will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in CWM recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
Cheers and enjoy

i m testing this kernel since first betas quietly with my rom builds and i can say nothing but only best words.
This is the best kernel i ve ever had.
I m not going to say that other kernels are bad, not at all.
But for me stability and dailly use comes first and i cannot see lag anywhere......everything seems fast and it dont need overclock for sure....it is perfect out of the box
testing now and will announce the results after !
This is nice....

good luck mate will test it
Exactly... OC is really not on my roadmap for the time being.
I see not a big point in it, the device is also fast enough for daily usage without OC.
But if you insinst on OC, there are plenty of other absolutely great kernels around for it
Thanks

Download from homepage now working fine
Hi,
just a small update on the download issue from the homepage yesterday:
I completely swapped out the old download component in the CMS and replaced it by a different one. Now it has been confirmed (Thanks to Jack Barrett) to be working fine.
By the way - there is a known issue with auto root reported (in both 1.0 and 2.0-beta1 versions), I am currently working on it and expect a new beta version very soon.
Cheers

Updates:: First build since initial release, mainly cosmentic changes. although a couple important fixes. Anyways please take the time to read the whole post, as well as post #2
. As always: remember it takes a FULL charge from AC, and a full discharge then re charge batteryt to be accurate. Also leave it plugged in for up to an hour at 100%, Another thing i find helps battery life is to make custom auto-adjustment values if you use auto-brightness. Check below for full changelog Feedback always welcome Please read the Kernel section for more info and full config options for the kernel.

* Undervolted
* User-configurable CPU OC
* User-configurable CPU default governor (ondemand = default)
* User-configurable I/O scheduler (default = SIO)

Bugs

Notes
Most vivid users are S-ON, if you don't know what this is you are. This means you must flash the boot.img EVERY FLASH either with fastboot or similar, if you fail to do this you WILL have problems, including broken wifi and instability
* As of Feb-19 CyanognMod changed the way the reboot menu works. To enable the "Advanced Reboot" menu with recovery and bootloader go to Settings>Developer Options and Check Advanced Reboot
* As of AOSP 4.2.2 ADB now has a whitelist feature. On first connect with adb it will say device offline You need to update your ADB then with the phone connected. Disable and Re-Enable Android Debugging in the Developer Options menu. It will ask if you want to accept and show the PC's RSA key. Select Yes and it will now work as expected
* If your homescreen does not look right (big margins) go to System Settings>Launcher>homescreen[/B] click Stretch screens. Then choose grid size and set rows to 5.
* As of AOSP 4.2.1 Developer Options and Performance setting menu options are hidden until you go into about phone and tap build number repeatedly (aprox. 6 times) this only needs to be done once
* If you are having a lot of soft reboots when waking the device set you min CPU freq. to 384htz in Performance settings. (What? no Performance settings? ummm look up hehe)
* If you are coming from another ROM i highly recommend you perform and Wipe Date/Factory Reset in recovery menu when applying this ROM.
* The gapps linked to does not have photosphere. As far as i know it's not supposed to. If you want photophere search for the flashable zip
* If you can't get MMS to work. Send yourself a MMS. or just wait a day. eventually they will work again
* For the best battery life I suggest the stock settings with the exception of the ONDEMAND governor. Switching to BADASS will yield best battery results

Hey I'm downloading it right now and I'm wondering if the ROM still has low call volume problems?
Wooow, I really thought this phone had no more hope (excluding the dev thread). And here it is...nice work everyone that put in the time. We all GREATLY appreciate it.
Time to test this out and report some bugs.
Thank you again!!!

Seems like I can barley hear voicemail so I would say yes...
I'm assuming that's being dealt with in those kernel changes that were hinted about in the OP. Can't wait to test this out.

It hasn't been fixed the entire time CM10 has been out... So if these guys find a fix I would be amazed!

Don't get your hopes up I've already tried fixing it many times in the kernel without any luck.
Excellent news! Going to bed to word of "I don't know what else to try" and waking up to a new thread and a fully functional ROM!!!
May I be so bold and ask what the last missing but was for getting WiFi working?
Big thanks in any case to all, known and unknown, that participated so far.

I see there's still the issue of CM not mounting the external sdcard when USB connected that exists with CM 10. I was hoping things would be different with 4.2.2, but apparently not. The workaround is to go into Recovery and mount it there, then connect. So this must be a CM issue, since the problem doesn't exist with PAC (4.1.2). Or maybe how CM works with the Vivid. Anyone have any idea?

Hi all,
this is the thread about the CM version of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 international.
Note: This kernel is only for CM based roms!!! Do not install it on a Samsung based rom!!!
For Omnirom, please do not use the CM kernel but the separate Omnirom kernel I also provide.
Difference NG kernels to normal kernels:
NG = next generation, it does use pure Samsung source codes only, not the smdk4412 kernel sources of the CM or Omnirom team anymore.
If you are unsure whether to use the NG or the normal kernel, I recommend NG kernel always! Try it first if it works fine for you.
For the Samsung Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621308
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Cyanogenmod and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse any support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.

History
Basically I created the Samsung version of Boeffla-Kernel as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!! Which in fact for the CM kernel means now... close to CM kernel sources.
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration" (I do not like it, but I like the crispy stock colours)
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for CM10.1 and CM10.2 based firmwares. It is not designed to run on Samsung based roms!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.

You will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512

... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!
Andi
FINALLY. I can experience everything that is boeffla in both worlds. Incredible job, Andi.
All 4 zram swaps are set to different priorities. They should all share the same priority to be of any use beyond what a single swap partition can do... I'm using alpha16 cm10.2 kernel..

Yeaaaaaaaa

Holy crap, I bet my mind will be totally blown in the nearest future before the final decision between the upcoming boeffla kernel & temasek with boeffla..
Hi to all the alpha testers with the dropbox link: I have reuploaded alpha16 for CM10.2, with the swap priorities fixed now.
I will compile 10.1 tomorrow, same goes for load&flash - this will be updated tomorrow. So if you want to try, take it from dropbox directly.
Will drop off for today, was a long and busy day

Cm10.2-alpha16-v2 working beautifully . all zram devices balancing nicely.
Great work man. Keep it up.
On small request, could you make the number of zram devices configurable as well as a configurable swappiness. I'm thinking that 2 devices may be the sweet spot for CPU cycles/performance if it infact uses one thread (core) per block device. Leaving the other 2 core asleep but still having multi threaded zram. Hope its not to much of an ask. Thanks

Hi all,
this is the thread about my Boeffla-Kernel for the Galaxy Note 10.1 n80xx.
Some of you might know my kernel already from the Galaxy S3 area.
If you want to learn more about the kernel, it's features and how to configure what, I would recommend you to visit the Galaxy S3 thread of the kernel.
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Samsung stock firmware and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!

Objective
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
I will, also in future, only add features that make sense to me personally as well and are not against my initial objectives. You can always raise your wishes and requests, however there is absolutely no guarantee it will be implemented.
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration" (I do not like it, but I like the crispy stock colours)
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) firmwares. It is not designed to run on AOSP based roms!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

Wow!! I was extremly pleased with your kernel for S3, just bad for me that I dont own the wifi version of this tab. Maybe do one for 8000 also? Anyways welcome to the party
Sorry nick. My rule of thumb is still in place: I only develop for a device I personally own and can test.
Andi
Thanks a lot. Have i9300 and n8010. Both with your kernel. :beer:
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks, ATM I'm using it to change my scheduler to SIO and use the Boeffla sound engine. Most of what's in the Boeffla config are like airplane controls to me.
Would be nice if someone comes up with a guide with recommended settings.
It this capatible with GT-N8013?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Finally a kernel for the N8010 and not the N8013. I know they are the same, but still
hope to have n8000 version of this kernel
WOW, great to see you here with a kernel for our device! I'm aware of your work for the Galaxy SIII. Gonna test the kernel NOW! Thanks!!
Looking good boss!

Honestly, I do not know. The 8013 seems to be the US variant of the 8010. Usually, kernels of US vs. European variants cannot be exchanged.
But I guess nothing can go wrong if you give it a try (do a nandroid backup first, so you have the current kernel safe).
If you tried it, please report back.

Only if you guys put some buck together and buy me a n8000. Seriously.
I have a golden rule of thumb: I only develop for devices I have myself, as this is the only way to do proper testing and ensure quality.

Hi,
well, it is a wide topic. That is why I recommended to head over to the S3 thread and search a little bit through it.
Also there is plenty (partially outdated) information on the kernel homepage under configuration as well.
However, my personal configuration currently is:
- governor zzmoove
- governor profile zzmoove -battery yank
- scheduler internal to row
- scheduler external to bfq
- read ahead buffer internal 512
- cpu idle mode to aftr+lpa
- boeffla-sound of course, but this is very much subjective
- touch boost down to 400 (to save some juice)

Actually, about the europe and US variants - they appear to be absolutely identical. I personally purchased mine in Germany (obviously the N8010 europe variant), but I've been using a ROM and a kernel for the N8013 (US Variant) for quite a while and haven't lost any functionality or encountered any problems.
But it is very good that we do have a kernel for the europe variant finally.
++ for N8000 version as it lacks of kernels witch such funcionalities ;(

I was going to give it a shot on my 8013 and see if it would work. I'm not sure about something though. Your file for the kernel has "CWM" in the title. I am using TWRP. I didn't know if you HAD to use CWM for some reason or if TWRP would by okay? I guess I can change the recovery, but in the past I've seen people say CWM for this or that and TWRP worked fine. Want to be sure before I flashed it with TWRP.
Ups. Never used this recovery honestly. So I really do not know.
Maybe someone else can comment...
