[hlte][2014/NOV/20][W03] Yank555.lu kernel v1.1b

Postby yank555 » 01 Sep 2014, 15:23

If you don't want to read, please read at least just this !!!

This kernel is intended to be used on willl03's SlimKat ROMs.

This kernel may not work properly on other CM11 based ROM !!


[size=160][b]Before proceding, please consider learning from Garfield :

(Thanx to MuertoKo for this educational image)

I have spend numerous hours coding, merging ... and writing this OP, so please have the decency to at least read it before asking questions.


Disclaimer

FIRST OF ALL, do a Nandroid backup before flashing !


By flashing this kernel you agree to do this at your very own risk ! I will and can not be
held responsible for whatever may happen as a consequence of using this kernel / script generator.
This software is made available to you as is, no waranties can be given.

If you do not agree to these terms, then please use your browser's back key.

Installing this kernel will trip the Knoxx efuse, which will have been tripped already since you need
a custom recovery to flash this kernel.

Seeing this on boot will be normal once you use a custom kernel :

You have been warned !


ROM Compatibility

This kernel is intended only to be used on willl03's deCAF SlimKat ROMs.

This kernel will not work on any current CM11 based ROM !!

What To Expect Using This Kernel

First of all, the main reason this kernel even exists is because I make it for my own personal use, I don't mind adding one or the other feature upon request by a user even if I don't use that feature personnally.

Main objectives for this kernel :

  1. be as stable as possible to be usable as a perfect daily kernel (conservative approach)

  2. give a good battery life while being snappy

  3. give users an easy and safe way to customize settings

  4. be and stay as close to stock Samsung as possible

  5. allow only for moderate CPU OC

  6. include some standard Linux features missing in stock kernel (e.g. kernel module support...)

  7. include interesting commits by other devs (giving proper credit, of course !)

  8. updated to kernel.org Linux (ok scratch that, 3.4.y is just too much trouble, not worth the effort)

What NOT To Expect Using This Kernel

  • experimental modifications

  • cutting edge development

  • thrive to be the first, fastest, best, most advanced ... kernel ever !

    I just suspect there is a public for genuine slightly modified kernels that are a no fuzz to use, and which are aimed towards "standard power users" as opposed to "hungry beta testers and debuggers" (been there, done that, fun time in my HD2 times helping as I could on Dorimanx kernel). But I need my device on a daily bases, privately and for work, so my device just has to work.

Credits & Thanx

This is the most important bit of them all, a small place to pay tribute to all those who have helped me making this kernel :

  • Faux123

    Thanx for helping me get started, out of an almost 20 years break on Linux kernel compiling (at the time it was Linux 0.47 if I remember well), helping me build my compile box(es), upfront getting my first Android kernel compiled, making mods, merging sources, using github in general ... and always taking the time to explain and help out !

  • Corrsea

    Huge thanx for thorough testing and usefull advice, since my first steps on Android, at the time we were both running Tytung's Nexus HD2 on our initially WinMo device, chasing any possible bugs there were to iron out.

  • Sotmax

    Huge thanx for making a perfectly stable 240dpi Samsung based ROM, that has become my a daily driver !

  • MuertoKo

    Thanx for pushing me here and there to go further with my kernels, and for testing them on your daily and reporting back.

  • uberto.costanzo & F3nr1s

    Thanx for your support, for testing the kernel and reporting back.

  • Amarullz

    And last but nowhere least, huge thanx to Amarullz for giving us such a great tool, without Aroma Installer flashing kernels / ROMs would still be stone-age kind of voodoo magic, now it has become a proper user experince, giving everybody an easy way to customize whatever is being flashed !

Working great so far with w03 slimkat. Will keep testing and report back in a few days.

So funny story, I'd been using Temasek 125 with no reboots for about a week switched to W03 decaf and got a reboot within a couple hours. Almost certain it's mdss. I like the concept here but I think CM actually got this thing fixed and you guys reverted it back to broken status. This was running W03 Slim 25. I flashed your zip to switch to yank defaults and only updated the config (didn't reflash kernel). Here's last_kmsg: http://pastebin.com/yfptiwZn

Mdss leaves traces in data, if you ran CM then dirty flashed V25 W03 Slim you're picking some of the old mdss data left behind

To me and others it's clear, pre-deCAF had many RRs every day, and now none in days

Clean install, keep built-in kernel and you'll see

Nope, I would just say, there's more to deCAF on the kernel side.

CAF is crap, and you've just been lucky, I had the sometimes as well, went well for a few days, and the second I thought yay, it made kaboum.

I had none of these on my 1.0a kernel, but that one lacks a little too much to tell you to use it for the long run, but it's worth a try !

I'll spin a full rebase on earlier CM tonight after work (in about 14h).

But agreed, mdss was the cause of this crash, yet again.

OK, I just did the full rebase.... (no time to test it, though)

Can you give this kernel a try ?
