Cool, I love flashing new releases

A new challenger appears! I'll have to try this out sometime in the near future, but it will be hard to tear me away from Marmite.

Op does not Specify weather this Kernel is for,
CM Based roms
AOSP Based roms
AOKP Based Roms
I Tried it on Latest Paranoid Android (CM Based) and it black screens.

Is now compatiable with AOSP ROMS Only. I will have bbedward from post #2 look into some of the comments here. He is our kernel developer building blindly on this device
Thank you all for trying and posting your experiences, we will certainly get you fixed up!

AOSP and AOKP based roms use the same Kernels but CM Based roms use different Kernels and will not work unless setup specifically for CM Roms.

This is 5.4 MB? Hmmm...need to see how it performs.

Tested this kernel. Overall snappy & fast with Ondemandx even at stock speeds. There is no bigmem support. This is very important for Nexus S due to low available memory. Screen colors look too yellow. This can be adjusted by user if Voodoo color is included. Inclusion of USB fast charge will give an added advantage.

I understand, looks like CM requires a kernel patch for this http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/23541/
I was unaware as it was tested on an aosp based rom

We made a decision here, we're not going to support CyanogenMOD officially.
We will update the OP accordingly, it's just not desirable to maintain 2 builds for 1 device. The kernel should be fully compatible with AOSP/AOKP, and will be the kernel bundled with the CrossBones rom.
If you wish to use this kernel on CyanogenMod, you may build a copy yourself using herring_zen_defconfig and setting CONFIG_FOR_CYANOGENMOD=y . Keep in mind unofficial builds won't be officially supported by us. Please when building an unofficial kernel ALWAYS SET CONFIG_ZEN_VERSION_CODE=0. While it may not have any affect now, it may affect some userspace apps.
The kernel source is located here: https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperAlliance/ZenKernel_Crespo
We also provide a custom prebuilt GCC toolchain you can use here: https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperAlliance/ZenKernel_ARCH_armv7a_compiler
Only official builds are supported!
Thanks

Looks like I won't be trying this kernel, then.

Stay tunes for V2, thanks for the feedback from some of you. Added bigmem, voodoo color support, usb fast charge support, some more lowmemorykiller upstream updates, and also cifs+fuse FS support.

We're offering this to the community with no expectations that you use it, but for those who do use it we want them to be completely satisfied.
If it doesn't work for you, then I encourage you to use something from one of the other great development teams out there.
I thought of a couple solutions: 1.) creating 2 kernel builds, 2.) creating a sysfs interface so CM users could flash an init script that'd enable the CM ioctl's. Basically it comes down to this - neither solution is up to my standards for now.

[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

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.

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.

For CM11 users, here's how you can use AOSP(Non CAF) kernels on CM11

For those that want to use AOSP kernels on CM11, here's a zip to do it. The non CAF zip includes libs & the stock kernel(has init.d support) from the stock KOT49H build and the enable zip includes libs & stock kernel from CM11 1-9-14 build. It can be used on older builds of CM but CM does make changes to the kernel ramdisk every so often, so I can't guarantee it will work on all builds but it should work on the last couple of weeks builds.
The only catch is that you MUST use the kernel ramdisk from CM's kernel as there is stuff in there that is needed, so if you just flash a AOSP kernel that is built as a boot.img, while you will not have color issues, you will have FCs for theme manager, etc.
Now for those that want to know the specifics, these 4 libs are what control it
Code:
gralloc.default.so
gralloc.msm8960.so
hwcomposer.msm8960.so
liboverlay.so

thanks , this is what i need
great job

Awesome, works great, now I can use the ROM I wanted with the kernel I wanted

@The Guy above me: I'd think so too, as long as it does not require it's own modified ramdisk (?). Not sure though. I'll test it when I have some time after the weekend. Interesting stuff. indeed. Finally acces to some more custom kernels on CM11.

How do we use the CM kernel ramdisk with a kernel that isn't a CM kernel?

We will need to get the zImage somehow. Is it the only way?

you could try using script to unpack bootimage
or kernel like faux, semaphore, ak, or kernel that use anykernel method, you just need to add that 4 file to zip, and add script to unpack that file in updater-script

[KERNEL] Amperific SuperKang Project | r3 | 3.4.0 | [27-8-2014]

​
NEXT RELEASE: 27 AUGUST 2014 GMT+8 0900
With the introduction of so many kernels in the forums, every user just wants his/her phone to enjoy the crisp experience of their device. With ASKP, you get to enjoy the brilliant works of all developers into one small kernel. ASKP, is a modified kernel that merges many tweaks together, just like P.A.C.
ASKP is only run by me and pattyboi for now. Please bear with the slow speed of updates. I'm working on 3.4 for the Galaxy Nexus and also for you guys at the same time.
I promised before, ALL ROMS WILL BE SUPPORTED. But when I say ASKP is fully released. For now, I'll be releasing slowly. So please bear with me.
Supporting Devices:
LG G2
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Variants of ASKP released for per-ROM basis statuses: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53569650&postcount=6
READ THIS FIRST
- There's always a name in each file right? The word at the end is the most important. And of course, make sure the model number is correct.
ONLY TWO WORDS ARE GIVEN FOR SIMPLICITY. STOCK and CAF.
- CAF kernels are for AOSP ROMs. A N/CAF (Non-CAF AOSP) Kernel will also be present upon full release of ASKP.
- ASKP has just started venturing into G2's development, please be patient if there is no support for your ROM yet.
- I am not responsible for any problems incurred on your device. This kernel is not fit to be a daily driver YET. Still in pre-alpha stage.
Changelog To Be Released after Alphas.

Special Thanks to Dorimanx for the help in packing up the boot.img.
Based on: Dorimanx's Stock v20D Source. (Pulled from him as the internet connection I have is incapable of pushing a 1GB+ Source). This is a CLEAN LG Source.
I also want to thank him for his own build script, without it, I couldn't have built kernels as fast as before.
If you'd like to donate to me, Please do so, It'll be used for creating a tracker and an FTP site.
So you're buying yourself a beer. Heheh.
I really thank you!

Nice! And the important advice for You right now: You REALLY SHOULD write which ROMs do You support and which G2 variants.
There are some ROMs based on dr87 sources like SlimKat, and Mahdi ROM itself, there is CarbonROM and PA which use other sources.
Aaand there is CM which didn't even get updated to KK sources, lol.

Guys, once again. THIS IS NOT A COPY OF DORIMANX.
I only copied his RAMDisk with his permission. Without it, I wouldn't be able to boot on the majority of ROMs.
The kernel source itself will be different from his indefinitely.

Please read up guides on what comes with a ramdisk and a zImage itself. A boot.img is made from a ramdisk and a zImage. Even though the STweaks app exists, it doesn't mean everything works. I don't have Intelli features inside. so use your eyes please. I'm trying to be kind and patient.

You guys misunderstood me, meh. I didn't even say anything about the THREAD. It's the first one. The second one is, I just report to the dev what I see, I didn't say that it's a steal or anything, I just said that situation like that exists. Because i saw that there's everything like in dorimanx kernel, than maybe something went wrong with making the kernel.
Oh and about Intelli features, i see there are Intellidemand/Intelliactive govs, EcoMode, Intelli HotPlug, I REPORT it, REPORT, not ACCUSE.
Dang i hate misunderstandings. I appreciate every work and never want to make someone stop his work. Duh.
If dorimanx allowed to share everything with features he added like this now, then it's alright, I just reported in case he didn't allow it and You wouldn't see that or something.
So @Amperific keep going and sorry that u understood me wrong

Finally. We need more kernel devs. Thanks for joining the party!

Mahdi-Rom Unofficial/Un-maintained builds

Alright folks.
As users of Mahdi-Rom have noticed, Dr87 has been awhile on updates. From reading people say he's stated that he's ceased development for the G2 until Android L drops. Given that, I've began working on my on builds of this rom as well as major modfiications to his base kernel based on Dorimanx's Stock kernel. I had tried Bart452's and the audio patch never worked quite right in all apps. It's also lacking hardware acceleration for video on this rom for some reason.
ALL FILES POSTED HERE ARE "AS-IS". THEY SHOULD ALL BE CONSIDERED EXPERIMENTAL.
I don't plan on providing support, adding devices, changing features. These will simply be builds of the ROM based off of a repo sync ... Nothing more, Nothing Less. These are being made based on the Mahdi 4.4.3-CAF repo source. This may or may not be the correct one, but it boots and seems to work on my device. This then gets the sources from Dr87's upgrade guide added in. lunched as VS980 (my device) and the OTApackage made.
If anyone has any tips/recommendations for better places to pull the source from (if there's a more appropriate one).... OR if there a better place to pull individual portions of the ROM from in the manifest, I'm all ears.
As far as my kernel modifications, I'll just be calling it "SimpleKernel+". I may end up talking to Dorimanx to get his blessing to keep the name, as I don't want to steal his credit or work, but also don't want to cause confusion either. This may take some time to start releasing builds of. For the time being, I've just mass-reverted some of one of Bart452's old ports of Dorimanx's kernel. I would only release for the VS980, as thats my device. But it's pretty quick to build for the others and repack them.
I don't want to sound rude or anything like that. But for the people that don't bother reading... I'm not a dev, I'm not maintaining this, I'm not coding for it. So posting feature requests and such will most likely go ignored.
I'm syncing sources and building. For the kernel, I'm picking commits and building. Most all commits to the kernel will probably come from Dorimanx's repo. I just don't feel right keeping the name when I'm not taking *all* his commits, as I'm going to avoid things for sound and video.
All coding has been done by Dr87 and Dorimanx and all the people they thank in their threads.

Also, for anyone curious. This should work with fauxsound as it has his mods in it, the STweaks app that's included actually has a volume boost bit in it. Also, cf.Lumen 2.40 *will* work with this rom/kernel combo. You just need to prevent it from updating, as newer version do not work with it.
Known issues :
Kernel Video playback doesn't use hardware modes. This prevents using Netflix. I'll investigate into this.
Some proximity issues.

why does the ROM .zip name include vs980? we download that one appropriate kernel?

Sorry, I left it out of the op..
You NEED to flash the associated patch still from the official thread.
I build these for my device, hence the name. I only share them because, why not....

Been running on d803 flawlessly since you first posted it, even dirty flashed over d87s last build. Thanks for putting out builds while Dr seems fairly busy which I fully understand as I built and maintained on the i717 for 2 years.

Did you flush dr87's patch from his thread? That step is still required.
Works on my vs980 but I know someone else reported similar

Why would they? Per my op, I'm only syncing Mahdi repos and building with no modifications. They're unofficial because they agent built by Mahdi. They're unmaintained because I'm not going fixes, changes, or anything of the like. These are only up for people that don't build themselves.

Seems 720p YouTube doesn't work for me. Anyone else? Or is this the same as the Netflix issue?

Wait a minute, YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO READ THE OP? SHAME ON YOU..... THATS PREPOSTEROUS!
/sarcasm

Ok, so after spending the last 4 or 5 days trying to shoe-horn Dorimanx's commits in on Dr87's base... through picks, rebases, reverts... etc... I gave up.
What this means, is that I'm abandoning trying to port his kernel to aosp. What I'll be doing is picking various things to improve the kernel, largely from faux123 on nexus5. This should give us a lot of benefit, with minimal issues. I'll also likely pull the nexus tree for mahdi, which i'd bet is what dr87 was building off of... given the similarity in the devices...
