Note2Core Kernel for Galaxy Note II N7100 / N7105 (LTE)
I am posting this here because it works on our LTE notes, since they all use a Qualcomm modem. I am running I on my AT&T note with no issues. All credit goes to g.lewarne - I am just posting here to so he doesn't have to maintain 2 threads. See his original post here
For the moment, exFAT formatted SD cards are NOT supported.
About this kernel
This kernel is built from pure Samsung GT-N7100 source, with modifications and tweaks to provide the best user experience in reliability, performance and stability. Built upon my experience firstly with NoteCore and then HydraCore for the original Note, as many of you know, I strive for the best
There are 4 versions of each kernel, for the International LTE model GT-N7105.
This kernel has all debuging removed - logcat, android log, kernel log, schedular log, etc etc all disabled. This is for performance reasons, so if you are a developer this kernel is probably not for you
Kernel Versions
There are three variants of the kernel for each device
STANDARD (STD) - 1.6ghz FSync() enabled
OVERCLOCK (OC) - 1.8ghz FSync() enabled
EXTREME (EX) - 1.8ghz FSync() disabled
ASYLUM (AS) - 1.920ghz FSync() disabled
The standard version, has no modifications to the processor clocks or voltages and can be considered a direct replacement for the stock kernel, and with FSync() enabled is completely stable
The OC kernel automatically scales up to 1.8ghz, with the proven voltages and stability from the perseus kernel (the same frequency table is used), and with FSync() enabled is completely stable
The EX kernel also scales to 1.8ghz, and has FSync() disabled. It offers by far the best possible performance. In rare circumstances you must be aware that this can lead to data corruption and the need to wipe / reflash a rom back to the phone. 99% of people will have no issues with this, as it has been extensively tested and proven on my previous kernel, but the risk is there. Dont go moaning to me if you lose your data and haven't got a nandroid backup!
The AS kernel is meant for the crazy ones. People who come from an asylum, those from the Note 1 know I am crazy, so this was meant for them. If there is a demand for the 7100 I will build that as well. I am not responsible if you are able to cook bacon on your device after running. It features up to a 1.920ghz over clock, and 640ghz on the GPU, it will go up, however for the moment we will run with 640. The phantom bug is that voltages cannot be set with SetCPU. Neither myself nor gavin know why. The code is spot on. So we don't get it. Lol. The source code is on github.com/glewarne
Kernel Features
- Built from official GT-N7100 sources
- 1.6 / 1.8ghz auto scaling
- Optimised VM memory settings, and global readahead
- Auto-rooting of any rom when flashed, even stock

- Decreased CPU frequency transition latency
- CRC32 slicing-by-8 algorithm
- SLUB allocator
- PEGASUSQ governor (default, others available)
- NOOP schedular, (default, others available)
- +50mb more free ram compared to all other kernels
- lots of other minor tweaks and changes
- ODIN TAR and CWM ZIPS available for all versions
- TouchWiz roms only
Download - Current Version v1.00

Please make sure to only download the 7105 variant of the kernel!!
Nice another kernel! Will test this baby out!

Hmm I flashed the OC version on my note 2 seems to be running great but the phone does not see my external sd card :/ just says external card removed safe to remove now even when trying to remount it, my card is formated to exFat not sure if that is the problem

Yes, exFAT is not supported, we just found out. A fix is coming soon. Also videos in games such as zombie wood don't play. Fixes coming soon.
Nice to see another kernel here.
Can you please update the OP with a link to the original n7100/n7105 kernel thread? (It might make it easier for users to pop over there and see current discussion, etc.)
Also, I'm kind of curious what kind of difference people have noticed by blocking the majority of kernel logging. In theory, it shouldn't make make a significant difference, but I never got around to testing it, so I'm not sure how well the theory applies. (kernel logs aren't backed by persistent storage, so there's no real I/O overhead to it.)
Take care

Using the extreme version, pegasusq and noop.
If you guys try and play a movie in game, of won't work. There is a fox already and I'm running it on my phone. However he is trying to figure out ex fat before another version.
I just flashed this , cleared all my cache prior and after to installing it but for some reason I can't watch a video. ( I know you stated you can't in a game, but I can't in just my gallery)
I installed the OC one.. I will reflash to std one and report back
EDIT: flashed the STD one cleared all caches again and nothing.
Using the ex kernal without oc on dagr8 rom. Getting quadrant of 6700 if it matters to anyone.

Yeah I wasn't able to watch a video in my gallery, I just reflashed to the Perseus kernel after another cache wipe and it works again.
I tried both the OC and STD ones you had linked but both would not allow me to watch a video. ( Just gave me an error)
I will download the new version and try thanks!
---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
I can CONFIRM V1.01 Has fixed my gallery video playback issues thanks!!!!!!!
Is the 1.01 ok with extFat? Thank you for another great kernel and your work.

- Misc config tweaks
- Misc compiler tweaks
[B][U]v0.08[/U][/B]
- Up patched to 2.6.35.13 source
- merged some changed with Da_G's skyrocket source to fix cpu1 hot-plugging
this shiould solve issues of users having min clock stuck at 384mhz and/or max
stuck.
- fixed vdd_tables, system tuner will be supporting my kernel in up coming releases for this
system tuner, should no longer cause issues. as the hotplug fix solved this
[B][U]v0.06[/U][/B]
- Found tome Carrier IQ **** in tty consoles, removed it
sneaky sneaky...
- patched for call recording <--- DERP apparently it works with out my patch LOL
[B][U]v0.05.6[/U][/B]
- redid source tree from scratch
- Switched on OTG config options again (had them shut off)
- Battery issues resolved
- minor tweaks to autogrouping
- set kernel HZ to 300 for a smoother more responsive feel
- minor tweaks to lag free and smartass
- undervolts have been tested stable by many users and are in this release
[B]- PLEASE UNINSTALL SYSTEM TUNER AND CLEAR DALVIK CACHE THIS RELEASE[/B]
[B][U]v0.05.2[/U][/B]
- loosened up lag free so its not so twitchy at low freqs and ramping up and down constantly
- undervolted all freqs a fair bit
- added smartassv2 back in *Please TEST, i think i have solved the hang at max freq on wake*
- probably forgetting something else i messed with
[B][U]v0.05[/U][/B]
- sourced a multiprossesor service that actually wasnt ****ed and added to kernel
- turned on multi prossesor service and set it to shut off the second core on screen off
or when not needed, and only turn back on when needed
- Patched in BLN *thanks to romanbb*
- Patched services.jar to allow bln to notify you for most notifications from apps now
eg: gtalk, mms, sms app and ect..
- spiffy new boot logo ;)
[B][U]v0.04.1[/U][/B]
- removed smartassv2, its useless in its semi-working state, causing battery drain. I will figure out what its up to.
[B][U]v0.04[/U][/B]
- Lowered stock voltages a bit to get some better battery
- Fixed (i think) smartassv2 ramping up to max clock and then neglecting to ramp back down on wake from sleep
- Recommend using lagfree :)
[B][U]v0.03.2[/U][/B]
- fixed scheduler settings for new min freq, causing me SOD's on screen wake with notification
[B][U]v0.03.1[/U][/B]
- disabled 192MHz in the clock table so users cannot select it and cause a sleep of death situation.
- Default min freq now 384MHz
[B][U]v0.03[/U][/B]
- added in BFQ scheduler if users choose to use it you can use system tuner or other favored apps to change from CFS
- Added SmartassV2 and Iterative schedulers
- Tweaked SmartassV2 for our device
- Added ability to change voltage on the cpus with vdd_tables
[B][U]
v0.02:[/U][/B]
- 1.8ghz lag fixed ;)
- Autogrouping of scheduler added
- lagfree cpu scheduler added, with fully working sysfs interface to edit settings not set by default but recommended! its TITS!
- optimized build flags
- removed sysfs for vdd tables, we have not got it working yet. no worries you shouldn't need it yet ;)
- kernel compression changed for much faster boot times
[U][B]v0.01[/B][/U]
CK3+ Patch Set (Thanks to fellow Team Synergy member Ziggy471 for backporting)
OC 1.8 (Thanks to Romanbb's source tree)
Global UV Tables (Thanks to Romanbb's source tree)
All Debug shut off except samsung debugging (needed)
LZMA compressed
Carrier branded boot splash removed
init.d support
Voltage Control
You can control it via shell/init.d scripts as follows
To over volt ALL frequencies by 10000 uv:
Code:
echo "+10000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels
To under volt ALL frequencies by 10000 uv:
Code:
echo "-10000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels
To set a specific frequency (ie 1.8 GHz) with a specific voltage (ie 1.25 volts) ]
Code:
echo "1836000 1250000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
Use SetCPU as a gui or sysfs to control CPU freq

Question: Does this matter that its for the Telus T989D? Will this work for both phone versions? Not a noob, but a noob question sorry. Confused a bit.
Sooo, this is exactly the same as jugs? Just compiled by you?

no, its based off a compleetly different source tree (as the verry first sentense in my post says), i have stripped all debugging possible, its using ck3+ patch sets not bfs 404 and my stock voltages and clock tables differ.
its also a few mb smaller then juggs and has all boot animations stripped from the ramfs
what did you set stock clock to? i'll be the guinea pig and try it out for tmobile user

Thanks for the response. You answered alot more than just my questions I'm sure. I thought for v0.2 roman used the same source. Idk
Is this uv'd as much as jugs v0.1? My phone runs like a champ at 1.8 on that and battery is excellent so that is the voltage I'd like to stick with if possible

Ive been using on-demand exclusively @ 1.7GHz and have had zero issues. Although i don't put any faith in quadrant scores i was getting 4500+
I'm going to be working with Ziggy471 on lagfree and smartass v2 govs soon and see if i can get them to cooperate better with dual core setups.

its the clock rate, 1.8 kicks the **** out of my device too so i stick with 1.7
i tried increasing the vdd but it didn't help much, if at all and i was not satisfied with wasting the voltage for 100mhz. with 1.8 2d accel really suffers too in quad i experienced.

Also included in the TAR is a standard .patch which anyone can use to apply my changes against their own source tree. Almost everything you need to make your own version of a Note2Core kernel is included in the download - the only exceptions are the required linux packages.
You can download the latest source here - http://www.hecubus.com/filelist.php?...2core/source
Credits and Thanks
sswagonman for being the bravest of souls, and a good friend
antiochasylum for his encouragement, help and support and friendship
phjz for coding help
Some parts of my code changes can be attributed to the following - Entropy512, franciscofranco, hardcore, gokhanmoral, AnderiLux
If I have forgotten anyone, let me know and ill add you to the list!
Make sure download and flash N7015 kennel only and For the moment, exFAT formatted SDCards are not supported.

For anyone who might not know, HydraCore for the Original Note was by far the fastest & smoothest kernel available. It also gave enhanced battery life compared to stock. I know that sounds improbable to get higher performance even at a higher clock and with better battery life, but it's true!
Unfortunately, I have not had much time to research the implications of swapping kernels (especially since there seems to be added modification detections in place compared to the Note 1) on this phone since I've only had it for a few days now, but when I do this will be my first attempt. Currently I'm just rooted w/o custom recovery but I'm dying to further enhance my phone. :victory:
Best setting for the kernels for best battery

I won't be able to make the jump because I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and really don't want to kill my phone before hand, but when I get back I'm taking the dive.
A couple questions, if I'm rooted but without custom recovery can I just use mobile Odin or Pc Odin to flash the kernel? Will this give me a custom recovery? Also by doing this will it increase my flash counter?

I don't know anything about Kernels but I always love trying new stuff. I was just wanting to see if anyone could comment on what the author of the perseus kernel said about using this kernel on one of the American variants of the Galaxy Note 2? He said,
"The author completely disregards that the US versions have some hardware changes to them and using the 7105 kernel image on this device can be potentially dangerous as the GPIO pins between the US versions and the international version are different and things like battery charging can break. There are several power and charging differences between the two. It's lucky that this is only the AT&T version as on other carriers it would also break sound and volume. Use at your own choice but it's not something to be recommended."
I'm not trying to stir things up I just want to make sure it's safe to use this long term and I don't know enough about Kernels to know the difference. Thanks.

Not sure if this is warranted or not (OP I'll delete if you request), but I ran a 7105 kernel on my SGH-T889 and within 24 hours my screen died. Phone still worked, touchscreen worked too, but it didn't light up anymore. Maybe it's a completely unrelated coincidence, just saying what happened to my phone when I was running the wrong kernel.

" No form of recovery I included with the kernel or any custom roms. If you flash cwm recovery it will stay on the phone unless you odin flash a stock rom " This is what Origin Dev said.
Hey everyone I wanted to share with you all a kernel available for our T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 by Faux123. There isn't a thread yet in our development section so I decided to start one here until Faux123 feels ready to start his own.
This is a Touchwiz kernel. You need to be running a Touchwiz rom
Download the kernel for our phone here (t0ltetmo):

Link for other phones:
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Faux/
If you like Faux123's work please feel free to donate to him to help him continue making great kernels for our devices.
Thought their was a thread all ready. Still debating because I prefer extfat over fat32 for my sd card but like faux work. Decisions decisions.

Thank you for lookin' out, bhowanidin. If I may kindly ask, as I'm not familiar in experience with this kernel - does this kernel support several things:
1. Overclocking (if so, up to how hight)
2. Underclocking
3. Undervolting
4. GPU OC'ing
5 exFAT!!! I require this greatly...
6. and does it support T-Mobile's native Wi-Fi Calling (I require this in my apartment most important of all...)
faster zram/zcache and official exfat support is coming in the next version based on latest samsung's exfat 1.2.4 release

I'm stock .10 ROM, just went through a factory reset. Not sure if it was an accident or one of my flashes went awry. Getting it all set up again now.
I have root, s-off and everything seems to be normal/same as before the unintentional reset. Setcpu was granted root privilege, trickster mod picked up the frequencies I had set to test out and they seem to stick on boot.
So I'm guessing something didn't take or something strange. Under settings, what should my kernel version read? Mine looks like it's all stock still.

What are your steps during the flashing? They should be boot to recovery, install .zip, reboot (sometimes a wipe cache and dalvik helps). Hopefully you aren't flashing a stock boot.img afterwards...your version should read something like OBOne KernOB - version 1.2.

Version 1.3 - added Force Fast Charge, bfq/zen/row/sio io-schedulers, fix earpiece amplification in call, enable system write
Okay, so we all know how good Mpokang kernel is. Unfortunately the dev hasn't been active and people have been modifying his kernels to make them work on 4.4 (KitKat).
This a thread which looks exactly like the original Mpokang thread, but the only difference being that it contains the download links to the Mpokang kernels which work on Android 4.4 KitKat. I have absolutely no contribution in the development of this kernel and if you like Mpokang, then please don't thank me, rather go to THIS THREAD and thank the OP. And the entire credit for this goes to @metalspring as he has been the one who modified the Mpokang kernels to make them work on KitKat.
Note
TouchControl/PGM works only on SuperRam. TouchControl/PGM will not work on CM version or 1080p version.
Mpokang kernel
This kernel focuses on MAX USABLE RAM. As we know, the GNex has 1GB of RAM. A big part of it (300+ MB) is reserved for various things.
Is it really needed? No, it looks like that actual usable RAM can be much much more.
Feature List:
Many features, just as many as every other kernel. The differentiating points of this kernel are:
1) First kernel with the pioneering RAM reclaiming: from 693 --> 773 MB RAM.
2) Most available RAM: Still has the most RAM available.
3) Flexibility: Choose any of the 3 variations that suits you
4) Sophisticated ZRAM mechanism: zsmalloc from Linux kernel 3.11, enhanced zram mem operations
5) First and only kernel at the moment with huge 50%+ memory performance boost
As of v10, three (3) variations of Mpokang kernel for everyone to choose according to his needs.
Performance is the same, only the available RAM changes:
SuperRAM: 773 MB RAM -- Some rare video apps (or the gay CM video camera) may not work properly.
CM "gay" :silly: : 762 MB RAM -- All video apps work OK but still 720p, suitable for CM based roms.
1080p version: 751 MB RAM -- 1080p fully working, compatible with everything, even Android 4.2.2. Does not contain ramdisk. Clean rom installation required.
Valuable Notes
Note 1: Many redundant and practically useless stuff is removed. Badass sounding governors and schedulers, which don't actually offer anything were removed.
Note 2: Interactive gov from kernel 3.4, hyper gov and SIOPlus, deadline and row are the best out there. Maybe FIOPS on the future.
Note 3: In general .. more useless stuff removed equals more RAM. This does not apply to the SuperRAM variation, where many many features can be added as modules without reducing the available memory.

DOWNLOADS: (All of these work on KitKat ie Android 4.4.x) <MODERATOR EDITED - LINKS REMOVED>
FAQs:
Q: When using SuperRAM version I have trouble running apps like Video editor, video calling in some apps.
A: Some rare apps don't like this extreme RAM reclaiming. Use another variation.
Q: My screen colors seem a bit changed. Even if I change them like I used to in TricksterMod...
A: It's because of Purple Tint Fix. Many users experience that ugly tint, and this kernel cures it. Slightly change your color settings in Trickster. If, whatever you do, the colors look bad, report it here and I will see what I can do.
Q: I want the full 1GB of RAM. Is this possible?
A: No, full 1GB is unachievable (with TI's ION code). But if someone is willing to drop all the media support (camera, video, media playback) close to 900MB is achievable.
Changelog:
Ver. 1:
- Now using ramdisk (Osmosis modified). Now you can flash the kernel unconditionally (no more screwing from other ramdisks) and my preferred settings are kept.
- Introduction of Cleancache from kernel 3.7
- Introduction of Zsmalloc, Zcache and Frontswap from kernel version 3.8
Ver. 2:
- Reclaimed 4 MB of RAM (now it should be at 771 MB) from the frame buffer. TI has been very generous spending GNex's RAM all over the place.
- Pushed some commits from ASPK, mainly memory hotplugging related
- Went back to Anykernel format. No ramdisk since there were some complains of problems with some roms.
- Fixed vfs_cache_pressure (script not needed)
- Some memory reservation and ram leaks fixing (900KB RAM more).
- Should have a bit better battery consumption since I altered the dirty ratios.
Ver. 3:
- Modified the installation script. Now it copies the hacked Power HAL to the system so that altered gov settings do not reset after screen off (No need to check "Frequency Lock" in Trickster now).
- Removed a bunch of useless stuff. The kernel itself shrunk significantly. Boot time should be faster than ever.
- Reclaimed another 600K
- Changed interactive governor default settings. Only above_highspeed_delay needs to change to 20000 now.
Ver 4:
- Disabled all kernel debugging (should be a bit faster)
- Reclaimed another 512KB (compared to 4.1)
- Added some battery preservation routines (should consume a little less battery when watching videos)
- Some scheduler tinking
Ver. 5:
- Updated Linux kernel 3.0.88 --> 3.0.94
- Enabled ZRAM from kernel 3.7 (thanks Boype & Faux)
- Disabled Cleancache & Zcache
- Some more battery preservation additions
- Enabled full Hard Float kernel building.
Ver. 6
- ARM patches for slightly improved performance
- pushed a commit for ZRAM that will provide somewhat better memory management
- some other changes for the next version (ZRAM working together with Zcache & Frontswap)
Ver. 7
- Using Linaro Toolchain 2013.09
- Updated Linux 3.0.94 --> 3.0.96
- Improved mem operations of zram
- Backported zsmalloc from latest kernel 3.11 (zsmalloc = zram memory allocator)
- Some kernel scheduler and timer fixes
- Changes in VFS cache pressure and swappiness values to find the sweet spot
Ver. 8
- Several mutex code commits (multithreading optimization)
------ ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based implementation for ARMv6+
------ mutex: place lock in contended state after fastpath_lock failure
------ ARM: mutex: use generic atomic_dec-based implementation for ARMv6+
------ mutex: dynamically disable mutex spinning at high load
- Added VUSIM voltage regulation. This is a screen regulator, so undervolting it should save some power (I have it at 1500mV without problems)
- ARM: mm: lazy cache flushing on non-mapped pages
- A couple of cache related optimizations for Cortex-A9
- Set default temperature limit @ 75C. Should be absolutely safe.
- voltage.h: Set VDDMIN to 810 - Smartreflex calibrated MPU min voltage now is 810mV
- i2c: use usleep_range to wait instead of msleep (imoseyon reported potential performance benefits)
- ARM: 7178/1: fault.c: Port OOM changes into do_page_fault
- readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection
- Some scheduler improvements?
Ver. 9
- Updated Linux 3.0.96 --> 3.0.98
- New ramdisk for the kernel. Now it can be flashed unconditionally anytime.
- Enabled loadable module support.
- Compiled many modules as external modules. Reclaimed 400KB of RAM.
- Reverted the 300Hz kernel timer. The load calculation was all over the place
- Reverted some UV commits (especially IVA) that seemed to produce freezes and SODs. Hopefully they are fixed.
- Some CPU cache code and kernel scheduler improvements.
- Added the io_is_busy interface to Interactive governor
- Now, apps that seeked 1080p won't crash anynore. 1080p support is removed in the media_profiles.xml
- Altered some default settings: color scheme slightly colder, interactive above_highspeed_delay=20000, io_is_busy=1
Ver. 10 - Changelog not available

thx for this kernel:good:
Thanks for setting this thread up, hopefully KitKat discussion will migrate over here.

Does the cm v10 work with new cm battery?
WHATCHOO TALKING BOUT WILLIS?

I don't think so, because it has a ramdisk too unlike the 1080p version. You can give it a shot. If it doesn't, use SuperRam.
Maybe @metalspring can modify the CM v10 to fix the battery issue on it (if it exists).
Thanks for new thread
does anyone know how to modify kernels to work on 4.4.x?
id really like to mod. @faux123 kernel to work. best battery life ive had in a long time.
and SUPER smooth too
I know I'm a little dense. That being said, I think a warning is needed for the battery fixing 4.4.2 version. That is to say please note that it is only for CM builds after a certain date. Tried using it on ShinyROM with hilarious results
That's why i use 1080 version

I know you clearly stated in OP you didn't create this. You're just sharing it. I know you just wanted to bring the 4.4 discussion out of the original page to here. But xda admins may not be too happy
Then again I may not be right, but just giving you a heads up

Well I don't think that will be an issue because a 4.4 exclusive thread will certainly help reduce the confusion going on in the original Mpokang thread. And I'm sure anything which helps reduce the confusion and complexities will be appreciated by the admins/mods.

I've posted the same ones in the OP which @mpokwsths has provided us. Yes, they aren't up-to -date but unfortunately that's all that we have.

It's not enough
You said it's a modified kernel by metal
So where are his sources?

Here's a thought: why don't you ask the person who created the kernel?
I installed this version "v10 SuperRAM (for newer builds - fixes broken battery)" with omniMetal but the battery always reports 0%
This kernel makes my phone fly..

Umm try rebooting your phone. If problem persists, install the normal SuperRam. I guess the broken battery thing exists only on the newer CM11 builds.

Wow, this modified kernel by metal + cm11 playfulgod + banks gapps standard, makes my Gnex Super-fast-smooth-savebattery (ART on)..GPS locked less then a sec

Does v10 1080p have battery glitches on cm11?
