[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.

One More for Science!

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?

Dirty flash CM, then flash A4 should do it, that's what I did and it worked.

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.

[!!WARNING!!] Don't FLASH Magisk to v14! WIFI BREAKS!

Hii,
today Magisk 14 is out, ready to install from official manager, but i have noticed Wifi breaking, it won't turn on!
So keep away from this update, at least at now!!
You have noticed same bug?
Byezzzzz

Nope, mine is working with FrancoKernel

I'm with Blu Spark Kernel by eng.stk + freedom os 1.7 by nevax

Anyone update to v14 running No Limits 3.1 on stock kernel? I was minutes from doing so and happened to run into this thread. Now im sketched out... Even though current version works fine. I just have an OCD of running up-to-date software is all....

I had the same combo yesterday, and the same problem (lost wifi). I just rebooted in twrp, and did flash the bluspark again, problem solved.

Stock ROM & kernel with updated Magisk all running happily.

flash your kernel again
simple and easy

This has been covered 1 and a million times in certain cases the kernel has to be reflashed when updating magisk

Only reflashing kernel not resolve the issue!
I perform a complete but dirty reflashing of magisk-uninstaller + kernel + rom, and now works perfectly but in v13.3...
trying v14 when i'm at home..

I'm on latest Nolimits 3.2 + Boeffla Kernel
Flash Magisk 14 from twrp => bootloop

Works fine on RR, I suggest you investigate further before spreading scare stories.

No problem on stock rom running render zenith kernel

I can second that. No problem at all with FrancoKernel v.7 and Magisk v14

Works fine on stock ROM/kernel as well.

Better be warned instead paying for consequences
yes need to reflash kernel, but it does not always work!
PS. if it is not welcome, the next time I keep to myself

Was the heading... Next time write something less sensational, like " I lost wifi when flashing this, anyone else?".

Lol don't flash the flash (superhero not the user) or you'll lose your life :laugh:
No problems here with PureFusion+blu_spark+magisk v14+magisk manager v5.3.0 :good:

xXx 3.2 + Franco R7 + Magisk V14 and no problem for me.

Same here.

I was stuck in bootloop yesterday with blu_apark and xxxrom and again today with Franco r7 and xxxrom. Just flash the no_veririty_decryption zip after you reflash your kernel and it will boot fine if you need the zip I can probably find the link

Should i stay with LOS or go back to OOS

I have been using LOS 15 for some time now .I moved to LOS because of it's long term support(not into changing roms because of reinstalling and configs) after OOS announcement to end oneplus 3t major update support...
In term of speed and usage OOS was way smooth than LOS but i decided to get used to LOS because of update...
Now i'm experiencing lags in LOS...not frequently but it's been there for a month i think and it's annoying.like today keyboard was not appearing and it's was to slow to go back or change or do any thing..
so i decided to do something about it.
1) change kernal
2) go back to OOS(as it will update to pie now)
which one would you recommend?? if kernal then which one?

I've not used LOS the fact that you couldn't select vibrate only on the alert slider put me off (not sure if that is an option now though).
I had been using the MIUI ROM for quite a while but went back to OOS. You'll get android 9 so should be fine for at least another year. Also OOS has regular security updates.
For me OOS is an amazing ROM, no slow downs or issues and l always end up coming back to it after trying custom ROMs.

Ok then will go back to OOS then... I'm not security obsessed but new features and improvments

The lag issue has been fixed in LOS. You could have flashed a custom Kernel and it would have been better too, and of course there are other ROMs. It's not a binary choice! OOS is fine if you're not particularly fussy and don't want to have control over every little thing. You'll lose out on things like granular Display Calibration and full Notification LED control though.

Yes haven't experienced any lag from the day of post ?. About kernal, i was looking for suggestions.can you recommend one? And about rom, i mentioned in the post, that i didn't want to try or keep changing the rom because of reinstallation and configuration. Fine with not having control over everything.

If you're happy with LOS there's not much else needed. Caesium kernel would be a good addition so that you pass Safetynet, which you don't on stock LOS kernel. This would allow you to use banking apps/Google Pay etc.

If you play PUBG, don't flash Caesium.
I tried it about a week back and had so much random freezes and lags while playing it. Didn't happen with the stock LOS kernel.

Mokee ROM thread (UNOFFICIAL) - discussion and peer support.

Hi all.
I am not the developer of this ROM. I have created this thread as there seems to be no real place for non-chinese speakers to discuss this ROM and help each other with any problems.
Mokee is currently at Oreo for the S5 and is under active development, receiving nightly builds.
Here is the link to the official downloads page:
https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=klte

One of the reasons I created this thread was to ask fellow users a couple of questions...
Does anyone know if Mokee 8.1 supports fast charge? It seems to take a while to charge, but I'm not sure if that's just my cable or other factors?
Does anyone else experience graphical performance issues? Playing YouTube videos is often stuttery, and I've noticed many games are laggy with lots of low fps. Performance in the ROM is generally very good, so I'm not sure if it's an issue with the gpu drivers or something...?
Cheers

I used the Magisk fast charge module which worked well.
I would recommend flashing a custom kernel.

So fast charge isn't supported as standard in Mokee?
Will a custom kernel enable it, or will that just help with graphics performance? Any recommendations?

It should improve overall performance
Here are a few kernels to get you started.
SMARTPACK KERNEL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/kernel-project-kltexxx-t3564206
BOEFFLA KERNEL (UNOFFICIAL)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ffla-kernel-unofficial-lineage-os-15-t3764497
OreKazu Kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/kernel-orekazu-kernel-project-t3741374
TUNED KERNEL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...unofficial-boeffla-kernel-lmkmod-low-t3685662
I recommend using Smartpack kernel manager to tune Smartpack kernel & OreKazu kernel (link on Smartpack Op)
Use BOEFFLA configuration app for BOEFFLA (unofficial)
You can also use it for tuned kernel but it is called tuned kernel for the very reason that it comes pre tuned, just flash it and leave it to do it's thaaaang! ?
Al of the above kernels work with 15.1 Oreo. They are all excellent Kernels, but if you do not know much about tweaking kernel settings, I would recommend that you start with Tuned.
The Magisk fast charge module will work with Tuned. There is a fast charge setting in the Smartpack kernel manager for Smartpack kernel.
I hope I have covered everything.

Thanks loads, I've heard lots of good things about Smartpack so might go for that. I'll have a look at some guides about tuning it.
If I can't figure it out I'll try the tuned kernel.

The page launches a daily update and I think no one has time to download and update it daily so how often is it advisable to update the rom?

No, I always clean flash, including Format data.

I'm noticing more and more bugs:
- Web pages don't always respond to touch properly.
- Website videos don't go fullscreen properly.
- IR blaster doesn't seem to work (Anymote app says phone doesn't have one).
Anyone else have these issues? Are they fixed in recent nightly builds? Any fixes or work arounds?

I'm currently on a nightly from 2018-10-29.
I know you said that you do a clean install every time, but if I did a dirty flash of a new nightly that should be alright, yeah?
Reeaaally don't want to reset my phone again, I've done it lists recently and it's a PITA.
If I have to reset I'd probably just go for something solid like Lineage 14.1

The problem with dirty flashing is you can bring over bugs from the previous build.

I found that downloading nightlies through the Mokee centre app would allow the ROM to update automatically through a script than runs in the recovery. It didn't appear to wipe *anything* though.
Everything seemed to upgrade smoothly.
I still have the same bugs though. The nightlies mostly seem to be translations and minor bug fixes for other devices.

Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.
