/* Switch to f2fs */
As mentioned above, this kernel fully supports f2fs.
However, you are completely free to choose not to use f2fs.
You can selectively convert partitions to f2fs using TWRP provided in the downloads.
You should use the provided TWRP at all times after you switched to f2fs.
/* Disclaimer */
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this kernel
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

/* To kang or not to kang */
I prefer "open" to all stuffs, explicitly except for my personal kernels.
I've once used to use private Git repository for my kernels and just release the source-codes as a tarball,
which means that other developers who are interested in my kernel's changes would not get the specific changes they want while not violating XDA forum rules or GPL.
That was almost 3 years ago which by then, I was a newbie developer on XDA.
I was afraid other big developers merging all of my changes and I'll get buried down.
However, I've changed my mind and opened up my Git access to everyone after thinking my previous actions did not belongs to XDA's spirit.
That was a big move for myself of re-thinking what should be open.
Later down on the road as I gained more development skills, I've contributed into CyanogenMod and other's custom kernel and ROMs for fixing stuffs, introducing new concepts or improving performance.
During such process, there were quite a lot of occurrences where I was actually the first one to do those things.
For those who're familiar with "temasek ROM", you may know that after I became a contributor, temasek rose even more into the center of other AOSP ROMs' attention, as I was the first to introduce new exciting stuffs such as compiler changes or f2fs. And I quickly gained dozens of followers on my GitHub account.
And eventually, people *kang*ed my changes. Sometimes invalidating my authorship.
It surely is not a right thing to do, but I let it slide as it didn't matter that much. I believed that if my changes are good enough, it'd be better to end up with a larger user base rather than being a **** trying to hunt down every ROM developers who're doing it wrong.
Same story goes to my ROMs.
My real first popular ROM was back-to-n00t, which is a ported ROM from Galaxy S3 LTE to provide stable Touchwiz KitKat experience to the Galaxy S3 3G users.
I opened up everything to GitHub. And I even encouraged that other ROM developers to use my ROM as a base to work on their own ROM as I knew there are a lot of Touchwiz ROM cookers who're way better than me on modifying SystemUI or frameworks(via smali) BUT aren't too good on porting ROMs. I hoped that my ports can be a great base for others to work on their own modifications.
Now those spirits repeated on the Galaxy S6, I opened up everything about back-to-n0t3.
However, I do not do or believe those same things with the kernels.
There are far less kernel developers on XDA compared to ROM developers. ROMs are much more appealing for an "Android newbie" to go tweak. You can modify UI, enable some hidden settings and even port features from another devices.
So when ROMs gets copied off, users can easily distinguish if that was stolen or not.
Let’s say a well-known developer A ported S6 designs and features to the S4. Next day, less-known developer B uploads a ROM on XDA that claims to do the same thing. First thing that comes to the users’ mind would be ‘Is that guy a thief?’.
However, same thing cannot be said on the kernels as they work on a much lower level. You can’t distinguish individual custom kernels just by staring at your phone.
If a ROM developer choose to go use other’s custom kernel and integrate it into their ROM, it’s most likely that users won’t appreciate that custom kernel developer whose work powers that ROM. Let’s face it, not all users care about “Thanks to”, “Credits” sections, and let me tell you, those are the majority. Now some custom kernel developers might be OK with that. However, I’m not. Unlike most developers on XDA, I got fascinated to Android because it runs on Linux kernel. Modifying Linux kernel was the first thing I’ve done on my Android device, not modifying ROM. And I spent years and years on gaining information on Linux/Android kernels and tweaking, coding myself. While I don’t necessarily care users choosing to NOT use my kernel, I cannot stand that my kernel would be installed on one’s device which its owner don’t even know which kernel, which developer who made that kernel is. That is why I’m against with the idea of integrating custom kernels into custom ROMs. If you want your users to have a custom kernel, let them learn themselves what that kernel really is, what does it offers, and who developed it. “For the ease of flashing/installation” is not an excuse for me. Take yourself a few more minutes to download a kernel from the web, and a few more seconds to flash a secondary ZIP file from the recovery. Is that hard? Time-consuming? Absolutely not.
I hope everyone gets the idea why I'm sticking with the idea of "don't integrate my kernel into others".
Cheers.
/* Customizing kernel */
You can install Synapse from the Play store to control voltage and other frequencies.
To control some core kernel parameters, create /sdcard/arter97 as a directory and do the followings
--- Enable Adaptive LMK ---
Enabling Adaptive LMK will increase responsiveness at the cost of reduced multitasking capabilities and battery life.
Create a text file with 1 letter "0" under /sdcard/arter97 named "adaptive_lmk" and reboot
--- Disable LED fade ---
If you have issues with other 3rd-party LED controlling apps, try disabling it.
Create a text file with 1 letter "0" under /sdcard/arter97 named "fade_led" and reboot

It seems like you guys cannot even root this device.
There's fully functional PhilZ Touch recovery in the downloads, feel free to use it to flash SuperSU and spread the words.
But please don't make mirror!
Also, please note once you modify /system partition (by installing custom recovery or SuperSU), you need custom kernel to be installed.
yessss
my friend i see that asked you to help and you did thats great man dont forget top keep support our community
i loved your great stuff with s6 + s6 edge and now here love you man continue with your great work :good::good::good::good:

hi, I have a Singaporean S6 Edge+ SM-G928I
just to confirm your instructions, the correct recovery to flash is: http://arter97.com/browse/exynos742...ecovery-g928ci-3.6-philz_touch_6.59.0.tar.md5 ?
your "g928ci" folder is for my SM-G928I too?
also do you have a link for superSU to flash in recovery?

From linuxfoundation.org I got this:
"GRSecurity is a Linux kernel patch aiming at hardening the security of a GNU/Linux system. Both user space and kernel space are protected by grsecurity using many techniques like RBAC for file system access management, increasing system audit by logging important system events, use of Trusted Path Execution to prevent abusive use of binaries, PaX patches to add ASLR, null pointers dereferencing exploits and many others."
But novic_dev might explain it better
nice work dear
thank u <3
This looks promising .. will be sticking in the thread for more updates ..
Nice! New kernel.
From Russia - very nice
Sounds like an awesome kernel, welcome!

I have this kernel running as a base for Desktop Linux Distro named AnikOS
I have been developing AnikOS Distro and AnikOS Secure Kernel as a base for it that uses GRSecurity-based Security subsystem since 2008. Some time ago I started to port AnikOS Secure Kernel to run on the wide range of mobile Android devices ..So, right now you can see the result running on Nexus S

In Russia, the kernel builds you!
Welcome novic_dev.
Question, why don't you use a ANY Kernel version since there are ROM (like MIUI) that use custom RAMDisk?
Here is a ANY Kernel version of your Alpha Build.
EDIT: If you are not O.K. with it, I'll remove it.
Thanks!!!

WARNING :
THIS KERNEL IS ONLY FOR THE GT-I9300 AND ANDROID 4.3 (SAMSUNG) !
This is a pure LITE, STOCK WAY & STABLE kernel with MINIMAL features.
Many of you knows my Android 4.1.2 LiteGX kernel, here is the 4.3 version !
My goal is to offer a slight modification of our Samsung stock kernel's, with few features, aiming a better battery life than stock without affecting any drain.
This is a kernel "plug-and-play" or I would say more "flash-and-play". No need for tools or apps to configure the kernel. This is the way I wanted it. A bit like speedmod kernel did.
Unfortunately, I'am not a developer but just a basic person with some android/linux knowledge already.
My dream was one day to create my own kernel, and thanks to great developers that answered my many questions, this dream has been possible. I'am very happy and proud to share my first ever kernel to everybody here.
It must be only flashed over an official Samsung ROM and not AOSP/AOKP !
Feel free to include my kernel to your ROMs / Threads but please don't forget to inform/ask first via PM and credit me in your original thread.

★ PREREQUISITE ★ :
Any odexed or deodexed international I9300 Samsung 4.3 Jelly Bean ROM.
A custom recovery (CWM recommanded) to flash the kernel.
Be sure to remove any of your init.d scripts which can meet conflicts with ones I provide.
★ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ★ :
Do I need to flash any cleaner script before flashing this kernel ? :
> If your previous custom kernel dev provided a cleaner script, then you can flash it before flashing mine.
How can I customize this kernel ? :
> Mainly with ZZMoove/zRam profiles (grab them below) and with TricksterMOD / SetCPU apps.
What is zRam and his pros/cons ? :
> Check THIS interesting answer from @Yank555.
Which zRam script should I choose ? :
> Check THIS interesting answer still from @Yank555.
How to check if flashed zRam script is really currently in use ? :
> You can check it directly by using "cat /proc/swaps" or "free" shell commands via a terminal.
What does the LiteGX cleaner script ? :
> It deletes all ZZMoove/zRam profiles that you flashed after this kernel. So you can go in another kernel safely. It don't removes anything else since this kernel is pure stock based and don't add any files/folders that need to be deleted after. This cleaner script will be only efficient in this situation only, it does not clean anything before coming from another kernel to mine.
Do I need to wipe cache + dalvik each time I flash a new kernel version ? :
> Nope. Moreover dalvik cache is already wiped automatically during flashing procedure.
Do I really need to flash any profiles/scripts ? :
> Definitely not. It's user choice to do it.
Do I need to re-flash ZZMoove ZIP profiles each time I flash a new kernel version ? :
> Nope. It just install an init.d script, so it will be permanent until you delete files from your init.d folder or flash "Cleaner" version which will do this for you.
Do I need to remove old ZZMoove profiles manually before flashing a new profile ZIP ? :
> Nope. Each ZIP's include an automatic removal of previously used profile.
My TricksterMOD settings are losed after rebooting ! :
> I won't learn how to use this app but to make short, once you set any value (or modify anything), click the "V" icon at top right to apply new value, then press settings icon of the app (still on top right) and tick kernel parameters option to apply settings at boot.
Android OS usage is very often at top of my battery stats ! :
> Check THIS interesting thread. Moreover it looks android 4.3 source known related problem, hopefully will be solved in another next source.
My device is getting hot at load (games) or high usage ! :
> Check THIS interesting answer from @ZaneZam.
I lost my WiFi connexion ! :
> Be sure to flash an efsV2 modem (XXUGMK6+ minimum).

Clic below to see older changelog ..
01.01.2014 : v4.1.1 released.
Removed (temporarily) Triangle Away support (incompatible with Android 4.3 yet), to avoid force close messages.
30.12.2013 : v4.1.0 released.
ramdisk upgraded to XXUGML2 (Android 4.3).
29.12.2013 : v4.0.0 released.
Now based from official Update13 XXUGMK6 source from Samsung.
Now compiled with stock Android ARM EABI 4.4.3.
Reverted: "Enabled persistent TRIM support for all partitions" tweak (since samsung already included it in Update13 now).
Touch-to-Wake is now disabled by default (for battery purpose).
Added some "Touch-to-Wake profiles" into scripts folder :
- Touch-to-Wake_disabled(stock).zip
- Touch-to-Wake_enabled_3s.zip
- Touch-to-Wake_enabled_5s.zip
- Touch-to-Wake_enabled_8s.zip

Updated "LiteGX-KERNEL_full_cleaner.zip" to match new Touch-to-Wake flashable ZIP's (please remove old one).
15.12.2013 : v3.6.0 released.
Upgraded to XXUGMK6 Android 4.3 ramdisk (from official LEAK this time). In case your old modem is not working anymore, update it to THIS one.
SCHED_MC disabled back by default (0) to avoid some people facing some lags due to agressive value (moreover, I prefer to trust ZZMoove stock behaviour).
Added some "SCHED_MC profiles" into scripts folder :
- "SCHED_MC_power_savings_0(stock).zip"
- "SCHED_MC_power_savings_1.zip"
- "SCHED_MC_power_savings_2.zip"
It will be useful for those who wants to change it without the need to use TricksterMOD (etc) anymore.
Updated "LiteGX-KERNEL_full_cleaner.zip" to match new SCHED_MC flashable ZIP's (please remove old one).
12.12.2013 : v3.5.0 released.
Upgraded to XXUGMK6 Android 4.3 ramdisk.
05.12.2013 : Flashable ZIP's adding.
Added some "TCP congestion profiles" into scripts folder :
- "TCP-congestion_bic.zip"
- "TCP-congestion_westwood.zip"
- "TCP-congestion_htcp.zip"
- "TCP-congestion_reno.zip"
- "TCP-congestion_cubic(stock).zip"
It will be useful for those who wants to change it without the need to use TricksterMOD (etc) anymore.
Updated "LiteGX-KERNEL_full_cleaner.zip" to match new TCP flashable ZIP's (please remove old one).
02.12.2013 : v3.4.0 released.
zRam is disabled as default again (this time for ever), for battery purpose at the cost of a bit less multitasking (if you want it again : just flash any zRam script).
"GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS" disabled (back), should improve UI responsiveness.
Updated "zRam_disabled.zip" to match new zRam disabling as default (please delete old one).
28.11.2013 : v3.3.0 released.
zRam is now initialized by default once flashing the kernel with 600MB disksize and 100% swapiness. If you feel some lags, try different values with scripts (hope it will help people finding this kernel more smooth than default without it).
All zRam scripts has been reworked and updated (please delete olders and download latest ones). If you want to turn off zRam, this time you'll have to flash "zRam_disabled.zip" file.
zRam initialization is now using a custom busybox binary directly integrated in the kernel, it will avoid some people not having their zRam properly working due to some roms busybox which cannot execute 'swapon' shell command and with priorities.
- A little reminder : to check if your zRam is working, no more need to install Turbo zRam app, on a Terminal, write : "free" (if you see swap values, then zRam is working) or "cat /proc/swaps" (which will give you more informations on both 4 swap partitions).
- I would like to thanks personally my friend @Yank555 to help finding some zRam initialization problems.
21.11.2013 : v3.2.0 released.
Add several TCP congestion control modules :
- Westwood
- BIC
- HTCP
'cubic' TCP congestion will stay as default like stock. You can set your favorite congestion module via TricksterMOD app.
20.11.2013 : v3.1.2 released.
ramdisk : add same root helper files + modifications as v2.1.0. Hopefully it will definitely fix root losing (for some people).
20.11.2013 : v3.1.1 released.
ramdisk : add 'root helper' again to avoid losing root after flashing for some people.
19.11.2013 : v3.1.0 released.
Enabled back: Persistent TRIM support for all partitions.
Enabled back: USB charging increased (to 900mA instead of 475 by default).
18.11.2013 : v3.0.0 released.
Total redesign again from Samsung update1 (SEA) chinese source.

Overall kernel size is now slightly lighter (again) than previous version.
17.11.2013 : v2.1.1 released.
ramdisk : Modified 'root helper tweaks' (again) to remove many useless lines, which finally now finally looks like more as an 'init.d helper'.
ramdisk : Many useless files in 'sbin' folder has been removed to let only needed ones for 'root helper tweaks'.

ramdisk : modified 'root helper tweaks' from adam kernel to fit the needs of LiteGX kernel only (removed build.prop and pegasusq governor tweaks).
It was already the case before but I prefer to precise it : in case you encounter the message "fix root" after flashing my kernel before rebooting from recovery, you can choose yes or not, it will be the same : you will not loose root.
11.11.2013 : v1.6.1 released.
touch_wake.c : forgot description of bump to 1.1a.

Many thanks to @sqlpro ! :good:
Thank you to support my work guys !
Hi,
Firstly, thank you for your hard work on this kernel.
I flashed the kernel after wiping cache and dalvik. What I noticed is that Trickster mod does not pickup all 4 cores. Only 1 core is shown. Also, frequency lock is set to On, but no frequencies are shown. No scheduler is shown either. Cpu -z shows all cores.
Other than that, everything is running smoothly so far. The wake lock issue doesn't seem to be present. I'll report back with any other issues I find.
Thank you again. I've been using your Kernels since I bought my phone and I find them to be perfect for my needs.
Edit: I'm using Gorgoid 3.2
flashing right now. thanks
EDIT: wake up bug is gone. everything seems ok for a few hours of using. next is battery life. charging right now.
Thanks, you did it faster than i expected, will flash 4.3 this weekend.

Awesome i will try it now and tonight or tomorow i will give feedback .
Hope batterylife is better than stock and the wake up bug is gone .
Thanks for your work
modded by Xposed Framework.
Thanks for your work! :good:
Waiting some feedbak from users, but for sure I will try it :highfive:
Thanks guys, glad you like it, even if it's still far than my 4.1.2 LiteGX version, still a lot of work to do!

I can confirm this bug, looks like TricksterMOD is not well supported by 4.3 detection for the moment I guess. Try to use SetCPU for the moment which works well, and PerfMon to see behaviour of 4 cores in live, looks like all cores are working properly here :good:

Thanks to informing me about this bug, I wasn't aware of it, since I just migrated to 4.3 yesterday.
For the moment I never encountered this bug so far, but I'll let you know as soon as I'll face it.
I just hope official update12 source solved it, of we will have to wait for non-official dev fix, or future update13 source :cyclops:
Thank you. I'll Perfmon. I don't really play around with cpu settings much, although I do use Trickster mod to check that everything is running the way it should.
Another issue just noticed while typing this post is that my phone is heating up. Cpu-z reading is 40° C. Not sure if it's a 4.3/chrome/kernel issue. I never had this problem 4.1.2 using Chrome.
One more kernel for 4.3. This is really good!
Thanks man!
Thank you
Major update !

Introduction
This ROM is inspired by JustArchi's build optimizations that provide up to 6x performance boost .
I am not a developer by any means, I did my homework and I figured out how to compile and cherry-pick cool things. I am open to advice and guides that can help me make this ROM even better, you can also always ask for features and I'll do my best to bring them in.
As this is my rom for daily use, it contains many, many tweaks and endless hours of work of the best devs of XDA. In these features you can find Faux's Intelliplug, Yank555 powersuspend driver and many other stuff. At this point if you use any other kernel with my ROM you will lose about 80% of the features and the experience I want to provide will be lost. If you like other custom kernels such as Pink please kindly use official Nightlys.
If you are still here and haven't ran away you must know that you can always ask me for new features you see in other fine roms (Such as Temasek, CrDroid, etc) and if everybody like that feature (Including me) I will gladly bring it into the ROM. Don't forget that if you want a full featured ROM there's plenty of fine choices. The main idea with this is the same as with my old CM11 builds; "To stay as close to Stable CM as possible while adding on a little somethin' somethin' to make things better."
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages to your device, always have a nandroid on hand if anything happens

Misc updates to Kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Build 15.1
-Finished bringing features of old kernel to the new one
-Implemented misc build.prop tweaks (Commit)
-Introduced Opti-Charger (To improve RAM use, more info in the spoiler)
Custom ROMs in the beginning had limited space to work with which is why Cyanogen introduced opticharging to the custom release tool in order to shrink apks to fit more apps on system partitions of the original android devices. The opticharger script pulls apart apks near the end of the build and optimizes all pngs drawables found in them. Originally this script used optipng which is great and there is absolutely no quality loss involved in the png compressions but more recently I’ve begun using pngquant because it compresses pngs even smaller 30-70% with usually an average of about 50%. Pngquant does result in a slight loss of quality but nobody has noticed yet (See more on pngquant here: http://pngquant.org/) (If you are worried about quality you can always use optipng which compresses without any quality loss themers usually use this option instead)
Currently, CyanogenMod has abandoned the use of the opticharger but many ROMs still use it such as SLIM, AOKP, LiquidSmooth, Dirty Unicorns, Carbon, Validus, and many others. Themers and app developers alike use these techniques as well to make their apps/themes run more smoothly. Making pngs 70% smaller actually makes the loading time 3 times faster for these pngs and also saves you RAM. I understand apks aren't all pngs but you'd be surprised how many junk pngs google has left behind since froyo that serve no purpose but are loaded into your ram with SystemUI anyways. Thankfully opticharging shrinks all of those undesirables by usually 50-70% and saves you several MB worth of space and speeds up your SystemUI. Since you can't unload the system UI this is well worth the effort! My motto always is every little bit counts
Many still argue that high end device don’t need opticharging anymore because they are fast enough to handle these full-sized pngs. While this is true it still doesn’t change the fact that opticharing IS still slightly faster and opticharged apks do use less ram

*Re-Enabled MP-Decision
*Added new implementation of Intelliplug directly from Faux's Github
*Removed IntelliMinMax governor (For now)
*Updated powersuspend driver to v1.5
*Updated SaberMod Toolchains
*Ditched my old build environment and bringed up @JustArchi optimizations which takes Android to a whole new level
Important changes:
- Optimized for speed yet more all instructions - ARM and THUMB (-O3)
- Optimized for speed also parts which are compiled with Clang (-O3)
- Turned off all debugging code (lack of -g)
- Eliminated redundant loads that come after stores to the same memory location, both partial and full redundancies (-fgcse-las)
- Ran a store motion pass after global common subexpression elimination. This pass attempts to move stores out of loops (-fgcse-sm)
- Performed interprocedural pointer analysis and interprocedural modification and reference analysis (-fipa-pta)
- Performed induction variable optimizations (strength reduction, induction variable merging and induction variable elimination) on trees (-fivopts)
- Didn't keep the frame pointer in a register for functions that don't need one. This avoids the instructions to save, set up and restore frame pointers; it also makes an extra register available in many functions (-fomit-frame-pointer)
- Attempted to avoid false dependencies in scheduled code by making use of registers left over after register allocation. This optimization most benefits processors with lots of registers (-frename-registers)
- Tried to reduce the number of symbolic address calculations by using shared “anchor” symbols to address nearby objects. This transformation can help to reduce the number of GOT entries and GOT accesses on some targets (-fsection-anchors)
- Performed tail duplication to enlarge superblock size. This transformation simplifies the control flow of the function allowing other optimizations to do a better job (-ftracer)
- Performed loop invariant motion on trees. It also moved operands of conditions that are invariant out of the loop, so that we can use just trivial invariantness analysis in loop unswitching. The pass also includes store motion (-ftree-loop-im)
- Created a canonical counter for number of iterations in loops for which determining number of iterations requires complicated analysis. Later optimizations then may determine the number easily (-ftree-loop-ivcanon)
- Assumed that loop indices do not overflow, and that loops with nontrivial exit condition are not infinite. This enables a wider range of loop optimizations even if the loop optimizer itself cannot prove that these assumptions are valid (-funsafe-loop-optimizations)
- Moved branches with loop invariant conditions out of the loop (-funswitch-loops)
- Constructed webs as commonly used for register allocation purposes and assigned each web individual pseudo register. This allows the register allocation pass to operate on pseudos directly, but also strengthens several other optimization passes, such as CSE, loop optimizer and trivial dead code remover (-fweb)
- Sorted the common symbols by alignment in descending order. This is to prevent gaps between symbols due to alignment constraints (-Wl,--sort-common)

FAQ
Thanks a lot @Travisholt92 for writing this guide, please give him a big thanks here!
Question 1: I am coming from (Stock or CM11), how can i install this?
Answer 1:
1. Back up all of your files, text messages, and everything else that you dont want to lose (try Easy Backup in the Google Play Store). You will lose everything stored on your phones internal storage and applications , your SD card will be safe.
2. Download the latest build posted in OP and Download GAPPS and move the .zip files onto your SD card (Remember where you put these files).
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Reboot into recovery mode by holding down the volume down button and the power button, then releasing the power button. This will come up with the Fastboot interface. Press volume down to highlight Recovery and then press volume up to boot into recovery mode.
(through TWRP)
5. Press Wipe
6. Press Advanced Wipe
7. Select Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, and System.
(Do not select microSD card or USB OTG)
8. Swipe to wipe.
9. Press Install. At the top of the screen make sure it says "Storage: microSD card". Navigate to the ROM .zip file and press it.
10. Press Add More Zips and select the GAPPS .zip file.
11. Swipe to confirm flash, reboot system, enjoy SaberMod!
(If none of these answers fix your issue read the comments for others having similar issues to see if anybody has found a fix for the issue. If the issue hasn't been meantioned previously please report the issue, leave a comment. Make sure to state what build you are running and what kernel you are using if you installed a custom kernel. If its something that happens when you perform a certain action such as after sending a text your phone reboots, try and be as detailed as possible when reporting the bug)
Question 2: I just installed (insert build name here and issue below). How do i fix this?
A. and my device is stuck at boot animation, device boots but spams with system application errors (meaning installed by your ROM not from GAPPS) , or anything else that prevents you from using your phone.
Answer: Backup your device and follow the directions for answer 1. (install the last ROM you were running if you are coming from an AOSP build if needed to back up your data)
B. and my device boots but spams with my downloaded application errors.
Answer: Uninstall the application and redownload it from the Google Play Store.
Gonna test
Que buena ver un chileno por estos lares, y más aun desarrollando roms, bastante bueno; voy a probar la ROM y ver como anda

Only CM11 bugs, wich at this stage of develeopment are almost zero. That's the idea of applying only minimal stuff, the result is a enhanced CM11 experience with the same stability.
Next build will inlude GPU and RAM OC.
.
I also prefer CM 11 for now. Better stability and performance. And your ROM is great! No bugs so far. Thanks!

It is not a bug, MPdecision shows all cores at full freq, but if you check them at real time (I.E using CoolTool) you'll see they work normally.
Anyway, I DK if add more features on the next build (Halo maybe?) or keep things simple with Linaro and Archi's optimizations. What do you guys think?
keep it simple, there are other ROMs for those who want more.
or you can make it modular and give additional functions in flashable zips

Wonderful job, hermano trasandino'. One thing I'm missing is the Tap2Wake feature. How can I add it to this ROM ?
Thanks
I'm guessing there's still this mystical memory leak problem as in CM11?

Yes. That's the way I've done it. Just simply erase everything EXCEPT sdcard and usbotg. Then, as usual, flash this ROM and then Gapps
I've been using it since yesterday and the perfomance is amazing! I will keep this as a daily driver, just one problem: sometimes the camera doesn't take the photo, it freezes just after I push the botton (I had the same problem on CM12).

Glad to see there's actually someone using and enjoying it. I'm having pretty good battery life and performance too, I guess Linaro and JustArchi's optimizations are just magical.
Regarding the camera, I don't use stock CM11 app but "A Better Camera" from the PlayStore. GIve it a shot and tell me if the issue persists.
Regards!
Great, I will try it. By the way, there isn't block screen notifications on the rom? That would be a nice feature if you can add it and keep up the good work, I'm staying with this.
Endurance Kernel • Galaxy S9 / S9+
Endurance Kernel was designed by me with the goal of providing a much more responsive user experience whilst simultaneously conserving the devices battery as much as possible. The Oreo kernel is forked from A Pretty Good Kernel by ianmacd so everything from there has been ported over and likely will consistently for the lifespan of this kernel, and the Pie kernel is forked from ELS. If you want the best battery this kernel offers, flash the underclocking build. If you want the best performance this kernel offers, flash the overclocking build. Each variant of the kernel is explained in more depth below. The kernel is largely adjustable in the paid app EX Kernel Manager (EXKM) by flar2 or in the free app MTweaks by Morogoku. Please note I don't own my S9 anymore!
DISCLAIMER - I am not responsible for any harm that may come to your device as a result of flashing this kernel. I am however happy to provide support if required.
Downloads
I am trialing GitHub and Mega releases only for now in order to simplify and speed up the release process. 1.x.x indicates the kernel should be used with an Oreo based firmware. 2.x.x indicates the kernel should be used with a Pie based firmware.

Detailed Overview
The PELT half-life has been reduced from 32ms (stock) to 16ms which greatly improves device responsiveness, alongside the use of updated custom scheduling, both thanks to Andrei Frumusanu’s amazing work on the kernel. For a more up to date reference on the performance of the Exynos 9810, look at Andrei's investigation comparing the Exynos Note 9 to the Snapdragon Note 9.
This kernel supports overclocking and underclocking. In order to use overclocking or underclocking, simply rename 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x' to 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x_oc' or 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x_uc'. If the kernel has '_uc' or '_oc' in the name of the zip file, it will flash the selected build of the kernel.
The overclock build will now use big cluster (M3) quad / triple frequencies up to 2106MHz, dual frequencies up to 2416MHz and single frequencies up to 2964MHz. The small cluster has now also been overclocked to 2002MHz. The overclock build also removes Andrei's conservative frequencies for Samsung's default scheduling in order to utilise the higher frequencies more. There is no guarantee that your battery will perform well with overclocking, nor your device will be safe running above stock frequencies. Use at your own risk.
The underclock build will now limit quad workloads at 1586MHz but still allow single frequencies up to 2704MHz, dual frequencies up to 2314MHZ or triple frequencies of up to 1794MHz. This finds a good balance between battery conservation and performance. Due to the 16ms PELT half-life the underclock should be hopefully be less noticeable than it would be on a stock kernel at 32ms.
Notification LED fade support has also been added and enabled by default. The fade can be turned on and off and have fade in and out speed adjusted in EXKM or MTweaks. Additionally, in both EXKM and MTweaks such as fsync on / off support, DoubleTap2Wake, Sweep2Wake, Sweep2Sleep & RGB colour control.
This kernel unofficially supports (but I typically strongly advise against the use of) a permissive SELinux status through the 'Magisk SELinux Manager' module.
Magisk installation chaining has also been added as a feature thanks to Ian's updated installer script. To use the the magisk chaining feature, simply rename the zip from, for example 'Endurance-Kernel.1.x.x_underclock' to 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x_underclock_magisk'. Ian's thorough explanation of the feature has been attached below.
To make use of this facility, either rename the APGK Endurance Kernel zip file to contain the string _magisk or create a file called .magisk in either the root of your external SD card or in the standard Download directory of the internal SD card.
If any of these trigger conditions is met, the installer then looks in the standard internal Download directory as well as in ./Magisk (if present) on the external SD card (if present) for a suitable Magisk zip file to install. Preference is given to versioned files matching the glob Magisk-v*, in which case the latest according to lexical sort order will be used. If none is found, the installer then looks for unversioned release builds (e.g. official Canary channel release builds) called magisk-release.zip in the same locations, selecting the one with the most recent timestamp. If none is found, the installer will then try to find unversioned debug builds (e.g. official Canary channel debug builds) called magisk-debug.zip, again picking the one with the most recent timestamp. Finally, the installer falls back to looking for the most recent file called Magisk.zip or magisk.zip. If still no files have been found by this stage, chaining of Magisk is abandoned.

AOSP Kernels
As of V1.1.2, the kernel now supports 8.1 and 9.0 AOSP ROMs. These builds are entire ports of Endurance Kernel that have been adapted for AOSP, hence any changes that are made to the base kernel will almost always also be included in the AOSP kernels. The 8.1 AOSP kernel seems to entirely work with all ROMs that support the current kernel firmware and vendor. Lineage OS will not work due to the merging of Note 9 sources and the dependency on the Note 9 vendor.
If you are using any of CodeFox / Mohammed's builds of PixysOS, Pixel Experience 9.0 sGSI or a build newer than Rainbow_Dash's V3, you must use the 8.1 AOSP Kernel. All other sGSI's should use the GSI build.
Due to SELinux interfering with Bluetooth's functioning on CodeFox / Mohammed's newer builds of Pixel Experience or PixysOS, you will need to set the kernel to a permissive SELinux status through the 'Magisk SELinux Manager' module for Bluetooth to work.
If SafetyNet is failing, this can be worked around to allow SafetyNet to pass. You will need the 'MagiskHideProps' module installed. After rebooting, using a Terminal Emulator app enter the following commands in the order listed without quotation marks.
Type 'su'
Type 'props'
Type '1' to edit the device fingerprint
Type 'f'
Type '13' to select Samsung
Type '23' if you have a Galaxy S9 (G960X) or '24' if you have a Galaxy S9+ (G965X)
Reboot
Due to the sheer diversity of AOSP ROMs, it is important to ensure you are concise when reporting an issue. Before you report an issue ensure you explicitly state the variant of the kernel you are using (TW, 9.0 GSI, 8.1 AOSP) as well as the ROM, firmware and vendor once you have ensured the ROM is compatible with the kernel. If these requirements are not met, you may receive support for the wrong platform or no response at all. It is preferred that you ask in the relevant telegram group prior to publishing on the XDA thread if possible.

FAQ
A FAQ section will be established as kernel development progresses. If you have any explicit unanswered questions, feel free to ask away. If you must contact me due to an issue, please report your device variant, ROM, firmware, vendor and previous kernel.
1. I can’t unlock / boot my phone! What do I do?
If you're stuck in a lockscreen loop, make sure you're on a firmware with a matching ramdisk to the kernel. Do not mix a CSC1 kernel ramdisk with a CSA2 ROM for example. Anytime the ramdisk is changed, it will be listed in the changelog. Are you on the correct firmware and vendor? If not, you can always flash this zip or revert back to previous versions through the Android File Host folder. Can anyone else successfully flash the kernel? If yes, verify the MD5 sum by referencing and ensuring a matching MD5 sum between the local file and the Android File Host file. Is it isolated to one device variant? (G960F / G965F) Did I just push an update? If yes, contact me on Telegram in the Endurance Kernel group for a faster response, and XDA for an eventual response. Does your ROM require a permissive SELinux status to boot? If yes, use the 'Magisk SELinux Manager' module to adjust your SELinux status. If none of this can solve your problem, contact me through the Endurance Kernel group.
2. Why doesn't my camera work after flashing the kernel?
Verify that you are on the correct firmware, vendor and a ROM that supports the current kernels sources. If you are still encountering issues after verifying this is correct, then let me know! If you do not wish to update, you can maintain a version of the kernel that does support your ROM by reading the relevant changelog for your OS and downloading the previous version from the Android File Host folder
3. Why doesn't my Bluetooth work after flashing the kernel?
Are you on an Oreo ROM that does not patch libsecure_storage, such as DevBase? If your Bluetooth is broken, the answer is probably. Instead you can use ianmacd's Magisk module 'libsecure_storage companion for rooted Samsung (Oreo) devices' or you can manually flash a zip to patch it yourself, without the need for Magisk.
4. Should I use the permissive or enforcing SELinux status?
The decision is yours. There is plenty of documentation available online outlining their differences. I strongly recommend enforcing, hence why permissive is not officially supported. Permissive is far less secure, and hence I do not condone the use of permissive. If you are using permissive, you should either have to due to a dependency or have another specific reason for doing so. eg. ROM requires disabled signature check. For most users, unless directed otherwise, use the default enforcing build.
5. When will you update the kernel?
Once ELS is updated and the kernel is ready! This is just a side hobby and I do have a life outside of kernel development. Be patient, the update will arrive within a few days if not ASAP.
6. Does this kernel support 9.0 AOSP GSI's?
Yes! Anything that's currently working on the Pixel Experience YEET kernel (lol) such as dual audio and MTP should also be working there too, plus some extra relevant changes.
7. Does the 8.1 AOSP kernel work with Lineage OS?
As of the Lineage OS 20181112 release, the kernel will no longer boot at all on Lineage OS due to the merging of Note 9 sources and the dependency on the incompatible Note 9 vendor. Albeit, Lineage previously wasn't recommended regardless due to the outdated vendor and kernel sources, which breaks the camera.
8. Will you add CPU undervolting?
No, EAS (Energy Aware Scheduling) has mostly made undervolting mostly irrelevant. Google EAS if you would like it find out more information as to why it is the case. I've included a detailed YouTube video outlining the scheduling mechanisms of EAS here.
9. Does this kernel support Note 9 ROM ports?
Not at this point in time but perhaps in the future. Almost certainly not within Oreo's lifespan anyway.
10. Do I need to install Magisk?
Nope, Magisk is entirely optional with this kernel.
11. Why when I flash the kernel, do I get a Magisk zip not found error?
Unfortunately, that means your Magisk distribution is not supported by the Magisk chaining feature. The kernel should have still installed despite not finding the Magisk zip, so you'll just have to flash Magisk manually afterwards. Personally I use ianmacd's nightly builds for S9 and have 0 issues with the chaining feature.
12. Why does this kernel offer no additional governors?
Because most of them are unstable and cause the device to crash, as well as EAS' integration with schedutil and EHMP.
13. Why does this kernel makes my device crash / battery poor / performance poor?
Because this kernel is still in beta. At this point, these should hopefully not be issues due to me and several others testing this kernel for several months. If this is the case, report it on the XDA thread or Telegram group.
14. Why is my WiFi performance worse when using this kernel?
This may be the case for some people. This kernel uses the Westwood+ TCP algorithm for enhanced WiFi speeds on certain networks. However there may be scenarios on poor signal networks, this TCP algorithm may cause packet loss at a greater rate than is default. This should hopefully not be an issue for anyone, however if it is, try using bic as default and contact me.
15. Why is my battery still terrible?
Are you in an area with poor signal reception? Unfortunately that is one thing a custom kernel cannot compensate for due to the device modem having restricted access and also legal issues. That leaves us with optimizations that can only be done to the SOC of the device. How you use your device can also greatly lead to variation in battery stats. If you are in need of further battery, 'underclocking' is available and is explained in OP. If you want the best battery life, I advise you try out that build.
16. Does the kernel support Samsung's Pie beta program?
Not yet, we still have to wait for sources to be released. Once sources are available, I'll begin work!
17. Why doesn't Bluetooth work on Pixel Experience with the 8.1 AOSP kernel?
Due to SELinux interfering with Bluetooth's functioning, you will need to set the kernel to a permissive SELinux status through the 'Magisk SELinux Manager' module.
18. Why does SafetyNet fail on the AOSP kernels?
This is a minor issue I don't believe I can address on my end. This can be worked around however to allow SafetyNet to pass. You will need the 'MagiskHideProps' module installed. After rebooting, using a Terminal Emulator app enter the following commands in the order listed without quotation marks.
Type 'su'
Type 'props'
Type '1' to edit the device fingerprint
Type 'f'
Type '13' to select Samsung
Type '23' if you have a Galaxy S9 (G960X) or '24' if you have a Galaxy S9+ (G965X)
Reboot
19. How do I overclock / underclock?
I can't believe I need this as a FAQ still. If you've been redirected here, read the OP! In order to use overclocking or underclocking, simply rename 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x' to 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x_oc' or 'Endurance-Kernel-1.x.x_uc'. If the kernel has '_uc' or '_oc' in the name of the zip file, it will flash the selected build of the kernel.
20. How can I use F2FS?
To use F2FS, you must erase your data and format your data partition (and optionally cache partition) to F2FS using the N9 TWRP available here, even if you are on S9. From there you should be able to reboot your device and restore your data through a backup.
21. Where can I donate?
I used to not accept donations but while I'm undertaking my degree, a small donation could go a long way. You can donate through my PayPal link here.
Installed and testing. Look good so far. No lags in PUBG ...
Battery life we will see
Thanks for this kernel!

Great, future builds should allow for increased frequency usage when I enable overclocking. Stay tuned for that for an even better experience
Will install it today and test it
Just a note, I didn't port the GPU stuff, flar2 did.

It allows the blocking of default kernel wakelock which can in return give better battery due to less time being awoken from deep sleep, but should only be used if you know what you're doing

im asking because i noticed that the clock timer for ringing up on custom roms with android 5-7 didnt work correctly.
It didn't start to ring because the device was in a deep sleep. I just wanted to know if this behavior maybe has something to do with a kernel patch like that.
normally I say blocking of wakelocks are really good but if it blocks the wrong stuff then it can easy result in really bad sidechain effects.
edit: found a good descrption.
so its just a optional feature.

Hi
@Eamo5 Thank you for your hard work.
I started with overclock, and the kernel is pretty good, performance is ok snappy system and battery life seems to be good even with overclocking.
I noticed that CPU never reach 2900 neither 2700 mhz even in heavy use. Maybe it is the ELS that have a better management of cores. I will continu testing and give feedback.
Have a nice day all
Sorry for my bad English

Great, glad to hear performance and battery are great. The very limited usage of those frequencies is due to how the hotplugging driver works after the BRE5 update I believe, where it will only use those frequencies in single threaded workloads ie. not very often, hence there will be very little regression in battery. I'm thinking of making some adjustments to the quad, dual and single frequencies next build to allow for greater usage of these frequencies and potentially an entire overhaul of the underclock build. Thanks for your testing, and your english is pretty good btw

[COLOR="blue"]You are not allowed to take, modify, use, upload ANY file or the whole ROM without my permissions.[/COLOR]
Your warranty (is expired? if not PM me how you managed to keep it otherwise) is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war,
or [COLOR="blue"]the unlikely scenario of you getting fired because the alarm app failed[/COLOR].
Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at
me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

P.S. I do undertake device support/feature requests, provided it is a G530* and you can wait!
Nice Job Bro!
Hope that rest of the bugs will get fixed quickly.
hey guys, this is doc. havent bothered to change my username yet. (and i guess xda wouldn't allow me anyway, i already changed my username once)
actually, bluetooth only works fully on fortuna3gdtv lol (and possibly any other non-XX/XC baseband variant, eg fortunalteub / G530M)

AetherLite R10 is up!
Installation instructions and downloads
Reboot into custom recovery.
Flash AetherLite_R10.zip from here: Aether Lite R10
Want root access? Latest SuperSU: SuperSU
Reboot & Enjoy!
Make sure to uncheck "Diagnostic Data" in Setup Wizard or you will have signal issues!
Do not flash Magisk with this kernel as it causes overheating and battery issues. (Due to some conflicts with LMK and Magisk)
It's normal for your device to restart once when on the boot animation after flashing SuperSU. (don't conclude it's a bootloop if that happens)

Yeah but lot's of more custom roms are there which are being pre-installed aroma features and many other lot's of valuable features ; but this is rom is what mainly creates some less advantage for download due to its large file size .
Thank you

Do me a favour and list some of the ROMs (you're talking about, probably link me to it) running Touchwiz N released for any device having the zip size less than this one? (dw I've de-bloated it leaving out all the essential features in it and added a few too)
Also, R10 features an Installer that deploys fixes and the kernel for each supported variant. (HXX/HXC/F/FZ/BT)
It's not an aroma installer that I've included.
Then again, the /system size of the zip is the same as that of our beloved stock lollipop.
Boot loop (G530BT)
EDIT: Works now, don't install supersu with twrp

Bro, this is not AOSP Rom, it is samsung's tw and nougat on that. The Stock ROM for Grand prime is roughly 600-900MB. Compared to this rom, this is much lighter and better. Also, this rom is not a build to begin with. This is a ported ROM from other samsung device.
Does this rom support OTA updates or it has been updates over air
Bro I want to ask something about this rom , is it support OTA updates ; does it get updated by software updates or u frequently update this rom with on time air upadtes ??
---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------
Bro just u can please tell me in brief about it battery performance and task management ability to stand battery and stable performance of overall android for a particular time period ??

@Kamin4ri tested SuperSU on G530BT, and it doesn't cause a boot loop in G530BT or in any of the supported variants.
It's normal for your device to restart once when on the boot animation after flashing SuperSU. (don't conclude it's a bootloop if that happens)
Next time, be patient.
Please refrain from posting messages with utmost surety when you're actually not sure about it.
