[INS-KER] Insecure Kernel (Rooted) for GT-I9300 [Latest: I9300XXELLB (2013-01-15)]

Hello everyone,
I'm are proud to bring you the latest rooted kernels based on samsung stock kernels that you may find in ROMs by Samsung.
Why should i use this kernel?
My kernels are uber-minimal modification of stock kernel used only for rooting (no custom recovery is installed). So the kernel it's like stock just rooted, and there is small chance (or any chance) that it will be detected as modified by service center at the first look
Please find latest of kernels listed below:
*NEW* ROOTED! I9300XXELLB - Jelly Bean (4.1.2) - CL: 748978 - B.Date: 26.12.2012 - Download HERE!
[[size=-2]uname: Linux version 3.0.31-748978 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 15:40:05 KST 2012[/size]]
Instructions:
1. Flash tar file of choosen kernel using Odin
2. Profit!
What's included in this kernel
- Base image of kernel is 100% pure stock by samsung
- adbd in insecure mode (so adb shell will be automatically connected with root priviliges)
Nothing more, nothing less - Enjoy!
If you like my modifications, support me with even a little donation for a beer -> Click to donate!
WARNING: Flashing this kernel will pop-up your custom binary counter! (as when rooting )
Enjoy!

wanna ask, this kernel have sds fix or not?

SDS fix is not in kernel but bootloader and yes, this version (if you will flash full rom) have new bootloader with fixes.

from above link, i think the fixes is from kernel.. iinm, the ella firmware has the fix.. not sure from bootloader or kernel..
that's why i ask about this, to know whether ellb = ella in terms of sds fix..

3. REally? its I9300, its ORIGINAL (kernel is not compiled its just stock modded, so its original.)
Something else?

Personally I always thought original means ORIGINALly YOURs (you are the author, not copied), not original Samsung....
But. .. maybe mistaken. ..
Variety makes this forum better anyway. ..

Kernel base is 100% oryginal, its not recompiled or compiled from sources, so in that meaning its 100% STOCK KERNEL.
Insecure kernels have modded adbd and other settings needed to run is as root in INITRAMFS of kernel.
This make it ROOTED STOCK KERNEL 100%

After reading page after page on this form every one is saying the sd fix is in the kernel. How come your saying it's in the bootloader? Also what do you mean (if you flash full rom) What rom? Its a kernel in your op.

You're mixing up the meaning of original, this section if for original works in the meaning they are made by users (Compiled kernel/ROM/program), not original in the sense as the manufacturer delivers them. It's written in the sticky in the development forum or in the portal post. Repacking kernels isn't original development. Read.

Actually yes it is confirmed it's in the kernel because we have the kernel code and patch regarding the issue.
Something else?

Sorry for misleading, i didnt noticed the topic with patch, i cant track everyhing.
this thread is about insecure kernel mod not a patch for death of SGS, so please no more offtopic here.
Insecure kernels are stock base (zImage is not modified) kernel with modded initramfs, where STOCK means no "tweaks" in kernel code was made. All insecure kernels works like this so i dont see a point of bashing me for saying its STOCK cause base of kernel is.
I asked mod to clean the thread.
A

And I've said it's not an original work as how you wrote in big capital letters claiming it is. Why are you replying to me about what a (insecure) stock kernel is?

Why? It's a development discussion. You can't just go ask a moderator to delete things every time because somebody else is correcting you. That's bothering and abusing moderators.

it is original work. its modded initram by me , base is stock. if you dont like it, dont use it. if you dont like my reference to stock, then dont like it, i dont care.
I asked to clean the thread because you are not discussing, just attacking my work.

I have moved the thread to the Development Forum.
Can the arguments stop now please?
Keep it on topic or leave the thread alone.

[Kernel][GPL][4.3 JS][August 6][a5] m_plus kernel for mako

m_plus kernel for Nexus 4 (mako)!
Hi All,
In an attempt to reduce the confusion related to the two versions of 4.3, I have decided to split my m_plus thread into 3 versions, a version for 4.2 (the previous thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256887), a version for 4.3 JS AOSP builds (this one) and a version for 4.3 JW builds (not yet up, but will be in the future).
Disclaimer: As usual, I am not responsible for anything that may or may not happen to your device as a result of using this kernel or any other flashable zips posted by me in this thread.
Kernel Features:
Based on the latest Google Source for 4.3
Built with the Linaro 4.7.3 toolchain (2013.07)
insecure ramdisk (ro.recure=0, ro.debuggable=1)
init.d support (by flashing the full ramdisk, requires busybox installed to /system/xbin)
Undervolting support (down to 600mV)
Gamma Control support (motley, faux and franco interfaces available)
Faux Sound Control support including poweramp
dynamic fsync
simple GPU governor
Builds:
Sources: https://github.com/thracemerin/kernel-Nexus4/tree/m_plus_43_exp_JS
Warning: These builds are for 4.3 builds beginning with the letters JS only, if you flash it on a JW based build you will have all sorts of strange graphical issues.
Personal Request: If you plan to make unofficial builds with features not included in the builds posted by me, please don't link them in the thread, all this does is result in confusion especially if someone has a problem with something you have added, it is much easier for me to provide support if I know that everyone in the thread is running the same builds I am. If you want to make a kernel with these features, feel free to start another thread so that they can be discussed and supported as appropriate.
http://goo.im/devs/thracemerin/mako/m_plus_43/JS_builds/alphas
Latest:
Alpha 5:
Flashable (anykernel): m_plus_43_alpha_5JS.zip
Note: if you need the full ramdisk for init.d support/insecure ramdisk, flash the ramdisk package alpha 4 first.
What's Added:
USB force fast charge
Enable Krait Retention
Various patches and enhancements from CAF
Previous:
Alpha 4:
Note: The anykernel version doesn't include init.d support and insecure ramdisk unless your ROM already has it, if you were on alpha 3 you will retain it.
Note 2: If you flash the ramdisk version on CM, the built-in superuser will stop working, CM includes init.d support anyway.
Flashable (ramdisk included): m_plus_43_alpha_4JS_ramdisk.zip
Flashable (anykernel): m_plus_43_alpha_4JS.zip
What's Included:
all the stuff listed in kernel features
freezer patches by Colin Cross

PowerHAL Fix:
There is an issue in the stock AOSP powerHAL where the mpdecision touch boost requests are being sent to the wrong socket, as a result there will be unexpectedly poor UI performance. Show-p1984 fixed this problem in his Stockified AOSP build and I pulled the powerHAL and made it flashable for everyone. Just flash it in recovery and reboot, if you want to go back to the stock one just dirty flash your ROM. This shouldn't cause any problems on any ROM even if it has the fix already cooked in, but if it does you can just dirty flash your ROM to remove it. Thanks to show-p1984 for the fix.

Just flashed. I was losing wifi connection with semaphore when phone went into deep sleep. Ill report back. :good:

do you have to be rooted in order for init.d to work?

Yep, need to have busybox installed too.

First of all, thanks for your work.
I want to make sure I understand the procedure correctly.
If I use CM10.2, I flash "m_plus_43_alpha_4JS.zip" to maintain the built in superuser.
init.d will still work, cause cm already supports it.
Right now I am on Alpha3 with SuperSU 1.51. So to update to alpha4 I can simply flash over.
If I want to go back to the built in superuser I have to reflash CM, then flash alpha4 via zip.
Is this correct?

Wont stay connected to Google services when phone goes into deep sleep, bars and signal are grey when i turn screen on. I thought Google fixed all the wifi issues with N4 in 4.3 kernel?

Strange, it's working fine for me now.

Thanks, just wanted to reply. Works as you said.
After the first boot I had some strange behaviour,
min cpu clock did not go below 1,026 ghz and GPU Clock did not go above 200 mhz.
A restart fixed it, incase somebody notices similar behaviour.

[MOD] Mackay Kernel 3.2 Modded for CM10 with GPS Fix

First of all, many thanks to Kasper_h for all your work.
This is a mod of Mackay's Kernel 3.0, designed to work with the offical CM10 stable. I've seen various posts about CM not working, so I put this mod togther to get a fully working CM10 based ROM based on the offical CM10 stable.
The advantages of CM10 over CM10.1
Video recording works
Skype Video Calling works
Barcode Scanning apps work
Burst mode camera apps work
Apps2SD works
Bluetooth File transfer (send/receive) works
GPS works
The disadvantages of CM10 over CM10.1
Code base is obsolete, so no more fixes/updates/features etc
Feels slightly less fluid/responsive than Mackays Rom
Feels slightly less stable than Mackays Rom
This has the standard CM10 ramdisk, modified to include Kasper_h's GPS Fix, along with Mackay's Kernel 3.0 zimage (unmodified).
See Kasper_H's original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153164
Kasper_h's kernel source here: https://github.com/kasperhettinga/lge-kernel-sniper
Get the CM10 stable from here: http://get.cm/?device=p970
Get the Google apps for 4.1.x from here: http://goo.im/gapps
How to Install
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Install CM10 stable
4. Install Gapps for 4.1.x
5. Install P970-MackayKernel-3.0-Mod-for-CM10-GPS-Fix (attached to this post)
6. Reboot
Issues
1. In about phone, kernel version is shown as unavailable, but shows correctly in CPUSpy
2. If you enable Kernel Same Page Merging (in settings/Performance/Memory) it will cause occasional reboots/screen locks.
3. Very occasional vibration lock, lasting 30-40 seconds, so just wait if that happens. To avoid, disable Vibrate on Touch in settings/sound
4. Video recording with the CM10 camera crashes (still photo and gallery is fine), download Ucam Ultra https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucamera.ucam&hl=en for issue free video recording
Enjoy
Edit: Updated Mackay Kernel to 3.1
Edited 26/8/13: Updated Mackay Kernel to 3.2
Edited 28/10/13: Uploaded Mackey Kernel 1.9, which seems to fix the random rebooting bug, vibration bug and fixes a couple of games that didn't work on the 3.2 Kernel

It's not working on CM10.1? Could be fixed in that case?
Thanks for your work.

Use Mackay ROM, it has this kernel included, or get the kernel from Mackay's thread. It will work with CM10.1.
The kernel in this thread has been modified for CM10.

Kernel 3.1 came out with fixes on vsync.Saves battery and improving performance

Do you mean did I ask kasper_h for permission before doing this mod? Then the answer is no. Kasper_h has stated in the mackay thread he would not do a CM10 version, because of this I considered it would be ok provided it was fully credited to him, which I have done.
If kasper_h is unhappy with this mod for any reason, I'll take it down at once.

As I have said in my own thread, I am perfectly happy with people using my work.

Firstly, KSM works, but the bug might cause occasional reboots (maybe once per day)
Secondly, although Kernel Samepage Merging helps reduce ram usage, the effect is not that dramatic.
If you having memory problems, try the following:
1. Disable JIT. No noticable performance drop and each running process uses a few less mb's of ram. With lots of running apps, this adds up. To disable JIT, add the following line to your build.prop:
Code:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
2. Install Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en and hibernate apps that run in the background.
3. Install a 200mb swap file on the system partition (much faster than the sd card). You'll be able to load virtally any game/large app. Download Turbo Boost http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 and extract it on your pc. For a 200mb swap on system copy the file from TURBO BOOST MOD v3.02-AROMA\swap\system\200\etc\init.d\98swap_system_v300 and put it in /etc/init.d on your phone, then reboot. The swap file is created automatically.
4. Install V6 Supercharger http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276

Version 3.1 doesn't boot for me, while 3.0 does just fine.

[Kernel/Rom][TW4.0.4]_Forest_ICS-Revival

*** This KERNEL ONLY SUPPORTS SAMSUNG TW ICS 4.0.4 ROMs (STOCK and CUSTOM). DOES NOT WORK IN CM or AOSP!!! ***
*** The Kernel is based on TW JB source which is safe ***
*** Still, I take no responsibility if the provided KERNELs causes any problem to your phone, you are warned! ***
Hello all,
I have been using all newer versions of rom for our "ancient but wonderful" G-Note. Still not quite happy and I missed the feeling of light and fast of the old ICS rom. The stock is not good enough, while the custom kernels most got pulled down and none supported trim, causing rom to slowdown after some time used.
So decided to make a custom ICS rom and kernel for myself. After many many testings with ICS kernel sources without feeling satisfied, I re-based to JB kernel source and wow! What a nice surprise. The combination made my Note flight!.
I feel extremely happy with it, my Note feel like a new device. So I share here with you:
Forest_ICS-Revival_TW-rom
Forest_ICS-Revival_kernel
KERNEL CHANGELOGS:
Kernel-V3:
- 1600 MHz OC CPU option, stock GPU
- Compile using uber toolchain
Kernel_V2:
- Reverse to stock CPU ang GPU
- Fix video recording
- improve battery life
Kernel_V1:
- GPU 3 steps (133-267-400)
- Enable OC CPU to 1600 (default). Allow to customize CPU voltage.
- PhilZ Touch recovery
- Exfat native support
- Trim support
- Various tweaks from Speedmod kernel
My favorite kernel governors and schedulers combination: SmartassV2+Vir or PegasusQ+Row
ROM FEATURES:
- Based on stock TW ICS 4.0.4: LR8
- Almost as stock. Removed lots of bloats apks.
- Add 14 toggles
- Call recording.
The room is extremely fast and responsive. It handle heavy games (such as Golfstar) like a breeze and also battery friendly. :good::good::good::good::good:

@forest1971 thanks for hanging on to the old note. Any development for this device is always appreciated.
Btw could u develop a kernel for cm13. Most of the n7000 users use cm13 and a new kernel would a useful addition. Afterall u r the only kernel developer left apart from bauner. Cheers

Reboot to a custom recovery.wipe data and then flash the rom.
If you are om an ics rom, then flash the kernel would be enough.
I will add the instruction later.

As shown in the title and OP, the rom is essentially a stock TW ICS 4.0.4 (LR8). I remove some bloatware apk and added few mods.
The main improvement is in the kernel.

The home button just won't respond. Short press and long press won't do amything, not even a phone restart.

I mean you flash rom only or kernel only to another rom? did you make a lean install or dirty flash...? should make clean install and see how it goes.

It was a clean install. Full wipe of data and cache, then install. Though I didn't do a factory reset and another cache wipe before reboot, could that be it?

It could be. clean install requires wipe data/factory reset.

Did a reflash, factory reset and cache wipe. Still nothing, since nobody reported anything it's probably a hardware thing but on Nightowl it works fine >.>

It's strange. There are a few dozens download so far, so I hope others will report.
In the mean time can you post a screening shot of the setting/about phone? I would like to make sure kernel version is correct one.

gpl | abyss kernel 5.10 | cm-14.x/cm-13.x

Hi titan people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss is to achieve improved performance/battery without the cost of stability.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on the latest 7.x.x and maybe 6.x.x roms like CyanogenMod and any other AOSP based rom.
Source links lead to my falcon source because they share the same source
How does one achieve such a compromise?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
This kernel is built with Linaro GCC 4.9.4 that is optimized for Cortex A7 processors.
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference. It is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs like ours.
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss kernel to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!

First
I'll test

Do you have any preferred settings to tweak the kernel or does it come tweaked out of the box? Thank you.

Everything is good to go after flashing. The most you could do is increase the Read-ahead size to 258kB or 384kB but there's really no point; it won't do much.

Alright, thank you.
Which ROM do you think is the best for this btw? No offence to anyone. I understand that egg-caf goes with everything but which do you prefer? Thank you.

My current setup is Exodus 6.0 and egg-caf kernel. Sometimes I forget that I'm using a phone (Moto G 2013) that costs less than $200 USD.

New build with modified values; it should improve multitasking performance.

As you kindly allow some non-development/off-topic discussion I´d like to ask a question about kernel flashing.
You write in your installing explanation
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
It´s a thing I often heard before. As an example: When I´m coming from a different kernel (I flashed a custom rom and then changed the kernel) and want to go back to the "stock" one why isn´t it enough to unzip my custom rom and flash the boot.img inside?
Where is the difference to dirty flash the whole rom?
Thx in advance.

Your question is not even close to what I mean when I say off-topic :highfive: (it is on-topic). Some kernel developers add scripts, patches, ramdisk modifications, etc in their zips to tune different types of values. The easiest way to get rid of all of that is by dirty flashing the rom, which replaces the /system partition and ramdisk with fresh ones from the dirty flash.

Thx for your fast reply and good to know that my question was on topic.[emoji6] Some devs are very delicate when someone hijacks their thread.
Your answer declares the other files, that can be found in some flashable zip kernels.
Is there something to pay attention of when dirty flashing the same ROM again? Ok,don't wipe data is a clear thing but I think of unmounting partitions etc to don't mess up.

The Roms updater script will mount the partitions it needs. Just make sure after flashing that you wipe cache and dalvik/art cache. Most gapps have a backup script that prevent it from being removed during dirty flashes. If your gapps are retained, you know you've done it correctly.

If someone (a friend oft mine or my cat, not me!) [emoji41] has deleted this backup script because he thought he doesn't need it anymore I think he has to flash gapps again too?
Thx for making things more clear and reminding me not to delete files flippantly.

Yes you will need to flash gapps again. Make sure that if you still have the backup script to not reflash gapps because I've had conflicts with that before. Not very fun.

Answer me a question, why should change decipher kernel for egg-caf kernel?

Well you should choose:
Decipher: stable,enough features, battery.
Egg: Stable, no extra features, performance.
Performance is much better with egg than decipher.
But in terms of battery, decipher is the clear winner.
I've been using the egg kernel for a few days now with cm13 and it's good enough for me.
Performance is really good. I don't really care about the battery as I always have a charger with me always so I don't really mind.
Overall, egg kernel is pretty good.

How does one get people to not do something in a thread? Back in the older days, that would be by writing something boldly in the OP. Guess that does not work anymore.
Honestly, you can do whatever the heck you want anywhere else, just not in my thread where I have my posting guidelines set.
Edit: also, I clearly state what is different in my kernel from others in the OP

It was just a question,not a comparison
