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 .

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.

Advanced CPU LiveOC!!! (ALOC) support with Selective LiveOC MOD (Thanks to byeonggonlee! In most cases LiveOC and OC itself need overvolting (OV) due to stability issues! Each device has it's own stability limit, some devices don't need OV with lite OC. So, in most cases you need to choose optimal OV value on each OC value for your own device!)
EXT4, NTFS, CIFS support
init.d support
Compatible with any OTA-based and AOSP ICS Roms
Can be managed with NSTOOLS
Voodoo Sound and Vodoo Colors Android kernel improvements

1024 Kb ReadAhead support
Automatic Process Group Scheduling
-fstack-protector buffer overflow detection
USB Fast Charge (FC) feature that force adapters that are detected as USB to charge as AC enabled (can be managed with NSTOOLS)
GRSecurity Feature List:
Active Exploits Protection (deter exploit bruteforcing, active kernel exploit response)
Role Based Access Control (RBAC)
Filesystem Advanced Protection (including advanced security for applications running in CHROOT environment)
Full Kernel Auditing (event logging for many process-related kernel events)
Executable Protection (deter ptrace-based process snooping)
Network Protection (TCP/UDP blackhole and LAST_ACK DoS prevention)
Larger Entropy Pools support (adds additional randomness to grsecurity features)
Managing support via Sysctl Interface

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

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!!!

Debugging the kernel
/proc/kmsg is a file that stores all the kernel messages from the very first seconds of the boot process. A copy of that file isn't always needed to fix a bug, but since I've explained how to get one I don't even remember how many times, I'll write here the needed steps:
1. open a terminal on your phone
2. run the following commands:
- su
- cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kernel_log
3. the log will be stored in kernel_log.

If you don't wipe /data in the recovery, there's no need to redownload the splashscreen you want every time you update ROM/kernel. It will already be there.

Download from Kernel Adiutor or from Android File Host:

If you had previously flashed the old PhilZ with Rashr, you need to flash stock FOTAKernel to use TWRP in v3.1 and later.
Use this zip that will flash a stock FOTAKernel (thanks to @TechnoSparks): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/stock-components-flashable-zips-t3184111/post62447981
be sure to choose your variant (e.g. C5303)!
Or, if you've got the whole C530x .ftf file, you can also flash the FOTAKernel via FlashTool.

If you want any help related to double tap to wake function you head into galaxy s3's android development section. And there you have to see for arter kernel it is the best kernel for double tap to wake and you could pm the developer for any help
I installed it, all seem work fine. Except I am not able to change a CPU governor, as there is only IO governor option on the performance tab.

That option isn't available with stock kernel too.
Don't use CM's built-in kernel tweaker. It sucks. Use Trickster MOD.
Good work bro
use this mods for next version
- Swap support
- Zram support
- CPU underclock
- CPU limiter
- O3 compression
No need to set SELinux to permissive in this kernel :victory:
So, i've tested it on RR 5.4.0 and it works but cyanogenmod recovery is SAD! can't flash anything so please include CWM, Philz and TW like other kernel.
When i flashed it, it take very long time it's normal?!
Nice kernel, i hope some features are going to be added like fast charge, faux sound and more cpu frequencies. If u want to flash another recovery use Rashr Flash tool.
WOAH a custom kernel for 5.1! Congrats @Tomoms ! I'm going to test it.

If you have already flashed PhilZ w/ Rashr, installing this kernel won't overwrite it.
Can you explain better "It takes very long"? It takes a lot of time to boot/to flash/...?
BTW, v2 is in progress! A lot of new features, I hope they work... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I had to create it mainly because unlocking the bootloader and staying on a featureless kernel seemed nonsensical to me.

Will directly flash v2, Waiting And the thing I Love the most is "Permissive SELinux"
Sent from Xperia SP with Lollipop 5.1 (RR 5.4.0)
why use this kernel
i have rr5.4 build running quite good with philz recovery.
whats the difference bw the rr's kernel and this one.
i would like to know the features before flashing it

A small update for all of you. v2 is canceled since it doesn't boot, I'll release some point releases (1.x) which will include each feature I had previously planned for v2. So within 3 or 4 point releases we'll have what should have been v2. This will help me in debugging. v1.1 is coming today or tomorrow
flashed it but im having philz
many guyz said they lose philz recovery but not im my case
how this is possible then

Those who were haveing file not found issue, the only thing that has to be done was reove the https:// from the link, i've made the changes in the OP now you can download the kernel
Okkk..
Eager to test and tested it also but cant boot up after installing it
Firstly i was installed it on Thunderzap kernel and then (thought that it may be overlapping) tried to install over stock CM 12.1 kernel also but same problem.
Hope get it running soon

With BlackBox-2.0 All Your Issues Are Solved Now!
Thanks a lot.. Working great loved it. But whenever i'm using governers other than hotplug and turn screen off its getting CPUstoo low that its getting switched off...
Same problem is there in Thunderzap Kernel by @varun.chitre15
I hope you will not mind a feature request...
I can't list each and every feature so i'll just point to Boeffla kernel... With almost every feature
Especially i just love PegasusQ governer
Thanks

Thanks for the reports, i'll take a look and make changes update fix and imrove the next version of kernel! Meanwhile as of i know these governors and io schedulers have issue with mediatek and thus causing all this issue! also the reason why varun disabled those governers!
Warm Regards!
Thanks a lot! Eagerly waiting for your next build!

/* 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.

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

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?

OnePlus 6 / Oneplus 6T
Youtube review of Kernel and Avengers theme by @hypergamer1231
Concept
Flash and be happy out of the box!
The kernel provides 4 Spectrum profiles and 3 Franco Kernel Manager profiles (Pie only) for most usecases. Balanced (default) / Battery / Performance / Gaming. For choosing another profile as Balanced please install Spectrum from the Google PlayStore.
If you want to modify the profiles just run a kernelmanager like EX Kernelmanager and change what you want.
First completely unified kernel for the OnePlus 6/6T OOS and Custom ROMs
One unified zImage!!!
To preconfigure the kernel uses a config file made by well known Senior member @xXx
These are the tunables you could modify:
Defaults in [ ]
Profiles battery, balanced, [performance], gaming
SELinux [permissive] / enforced
CPU minimum frequency [300], 403, 480, 576
GPU minimum frequency 180, [257], 342
GPU Input boost off 257 [342]
GPU maximum frequency up to 842 MHz (comes with 710 stock frequenccy set!)
Flickerfree display mod by @Devries (ImageBreaker kernel OP6T), default is off
Governor setting [pixel_smurfutil] or smurfutil_flex
The SmurfKernel configuration file is placed in /sdcard/SmurfKernel: If you want to use the kernel with it's default configuration just flash it!!! For custom changes please edit the SmurfKernelConfigurationEditor by @tanish2k09. The settings are applied saving the config. Your actual configuration is written to smurf.kernel.bootlog.
It's recommended to use my kernel paired with

Thank you very much! Feel free to check the additional updated governors for errors. And for sure use these if you want.

Lemme try this tiny blue kernel
Good work tho
Thank you! :good:
What's the difference between the usual schedutil and helix_schedutil?

The difference between all 4 governors is the way how next frequency is selected. Electroutil and pwrutilx are ramping flatter if the device is suspended. Electroutil is cutting max frequency if device is suspended. Check governor settings, you could adjust it. Helix is ramping frequencies different based on load scenario. Lower load, flatter ramp. More battery friendly in my opinion.
For future versions i'll mix a new governor that combines these concepts.

I am really impressed by the kernel, my phone is flying right now! Thank you!
Tested on the dp2? Thanks
What program do I need to manage the Kernel options in OnePlus 6?
Thanks!

You can use Kernel Adiutor or EX Kernel Manager

Ok, I really need good battery life so I'll go ahead and choose Helix. Thanks
@ pappschlumpf
Welcome & thank you.
@pappschlumpf: Thank you for your kernel! I am trying it since about 12 hours. But I have two questions:
1. How can I adjust the "vibration control"? I can't find anything related to "vibration" in Kernel Adiutor
2. I found a setting in Kernel Adiutor under "Misc" which is named "Software CRC control". What does this setting? I can't get the feature behind the setting from the description itself in Kernel Adiutor. Is it a new feature or something that is only deactivated in your kernel?

With Adiutor you dan't have all options. EX Kernel Manager recommended. The plan is to include Synapse support, like i have in in my Note 8 kernel. But that needs some time. There're many options in the OP6 kernel that the Note 8 kernel isn't supporting.
CRC Control disables the crc check for internal memory access. Faster, but well memory errors wouldn't be detected.
It's not a new feature, most kernels for the OP6 support it.

Thank you for your fast answer. So I will have a look at the Ex kernel manager.
The CRC control is a feature which I didn't see in the other kernels I tried. Maybe they are there but not controllable. That's something I can't see.
To make it clear for me: I see the CRC control as disabled (this is the untouched status directly after flashing the kernel). Is this correct or should be the CRC control activated by default?

Yes, faster option, disabled is default. If your memory is working as expected crc is not needed. On an old device with defect mem you may need it
