Hey Everyone,
I'm by no means a pro at kernel building but I've put lots of effort into these kernels so I thought I'd share them with you. The Uber kernel will always be updated to the latest Kernel version and will be overclocked to 1890 MHz. The Stable Kernels will have similar options but will not be Overclocked. Unlike some of the other T-mobile Galaxy S II Hercules developers out there, I actually have a Galaxy S II and plan on having it until Summer 2014. This means that EVERY KERNEL I POST HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS WORKING although it might not be perfect (few things in life ever are).
Even though I don't post anything unless it works I still don't want to be liable for user errors. In other words, if you flash one of these Kernels your warranty is void and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any data loss or bricked devices etc. That being said, you really have nothing to fear but fear itself because these kernels work and because I packaged a stock kernel so you can revert back at any time. A Clean install is ALWAYS recommended. That does not necessarily mean you can't install these kernels on you current build it just means that you might have problems if you do. Recently apps have been getting corrupted for whatever reason whether on Stock or AOSP and in most cases they cause RRs and SODs. If you find yourself in one of those situations a clean install is the easiest fix. If you want to try and save you apps then connect to you phone while in recovery using adb. Then type adb shell. Now once you are in that shell you can run this command to fix your apps "e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25" it could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on the state of your apps.
IMPORTANT!!!! There are now two 4.3 UBER Kernels. One for Pre OCT 22 and One for Post OCT 22! Due to CM GPU updates you need to be careful which one you flash. Be careful you don't flash the wrong one. Download both for safety sake so you can flash a second one if you get crazy colors and other graphical gliches.

Installation Instructions for ALL Kernels
**** IMPORTANT!!! USE TWRP 2.5.0.0 or earlier for 4.2.2 and TWRP 2.6.1.0 + for 4.3.x kernels!!! Failure to do so may result in bootloops due to changes made to TWRP to accomodate SELinux in 4.3.x ROMs which messes up 4.2.2 permissions (Links include flashable TWRP installation zips credits to meekrawb. Just flash them in your current recovery! ) ****
1. For best results a install these kernel after a fresh ROM install (although it still should work if you don't do that)
2. Reboot into recovery (MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT ONE!!! (See red print above))
3. Flash Kernel Zip
4. Reboot and let Settle for ~10 minutes
5. Install Trickster MOD from the App Store for access to all of the options.
6. Change the settings to something other than INTERACTIVE (Especially if you run it with BFQ it will give you the worst screen lag ever). Then enable "Set at Boot" and push the check mark button at the top right hand portion of the screen or else you will lose your configurations.
7. Enjoy!!!
Error Reporting
I am always open to hearing about your errors although just telling me something went wrong without giving me details does me absolutely no good. So here are my expectations if you do want to complain about something not working:
1. Please list the ROM you are using,
2. The IO scheduler you were using
3. The CPU governor you were using
4. The CPU frequency range (192/1080 etc)
5. What you have done to attempt to fix it.
6. If you were able to simulate it again using the same settings.
7. Anything else you think is applicable to the issue
I would also hope that you would consider trying some of the following things to fix your issue before you ever report it because most of these things will fix the problem without me even having to change a thing.
1) Fix file permissions using a program that does a thorough job. I recommend using the fix file permissions in ROM manager because it is the best I’ve seen. For the record, I don’t actually use ROM manager for anything other than fixing permissions. Please consider trying this first because it tends to fix most of the FC/RR/SOD errors you might have.
2) Make a backup and install a clean version of the ROM you are running and see if you are still experiencing those same errors. You may have corrupted files if you’ve been dirty flashing.
3) If that doesn’t solve it, redownload and reflash, maybe something got corrupted but it still managed to flash. This happens sometimes and I can cause you grief.
4) For advanced users pull a logcat. I know not everyone knows how to do this but you can learn if you check out this OP or other ones like it

Could you add the ROW scheduler?
Would you also add Lulzactive if possible?
Also, does the 4.1.2 Touchwiz kernel have OC?
You should have named your kernel spartacus instead.

Hi
IMPORTANT: Before you continue reading!
At the moment this kernel is only for PrimoU devices
and NOT for PrimoC (CDMA) devices
IMPORTANT for CM users
If you want to use CM or a CM based ROM choose the correct kernel!
CM9 needs a different ramdisk.
With the permission from Adi_Pat I would like to announce my kernel build
All credits to this should go to Adi_Pat cause he did the hard work for
providing me with all I need. Therefore also the name has been
choosen to make this clearly visible.
This is just a first announcement.
I will upload the first image tonight
Principle #1:
Provide a kernel that is as close to stock as possible but provides
additional features that will improve functionality and/or performance
Some Q&A you might have
Q: what stands KISS for?
A: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
My aim is to provide a kernel that is 99.99% stock with just additional features
In the first build you will see
-OC (max 1.5)
-UV
-2 new goveners (lionheart, smartassV2)
-1 new scheduler (sio)
Q:will you provide a kernel with 2.0GHz?
A:No - since I want to provide a stable kernel and
my experiences showed that only using up to 1.5 is reliable
If you like to have higher frequencies you can
1) use Adi_Pats kernel
2) build your own kernel based on my changes and enable higher frequencies
Q:can I build my own kernel based on your changes?
A:sure. I will provide a patch file that can be applied on the original
sources provided from HTC
Q:how "close" is your kernel to stock?
A:actually if you dont use OC, UV and use govener=ondemand and
scheduler=deadline this IS stock kernel
Q:can you include feature "xy" in your build?
A:I will check and if it is not "against" principle #1 -Yes
Q:will you test your kernel builds?
A:yes. I will only provide images that have been tested to
1) boot without problems
2) have run through a basic test trying to include all important features
3) run some benchmarks to confirm that changes are not decreasing basic performance values
Q:how to install your kernel?
A:like titanium kernel
fastboot flash boot
regards
max
I provide a complete folder with all downloads
please look at the following "naming conventions" for selecting
the correct image for your ROM!
Images containing "OC-UV" will have presets
Images containing "CM9" are for CM9
Images containing "CM10" are for CM10
All others are for stock (sense) ROMs

When you report issues with a build please also provide this id
You can also find this in
Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Kernel Version
Just some notes on the govener and schedulers:
Stock kernel is using govener ondemand and scheduler deadline

To create the KISS sources apply the patch supplied with each build
Other Downloads:
Note:
If you download save or edit those scripts on a windows host make sure that
you are not changing the line endings to be DOS "style" (CR/LF) since they will
not work on your device.
So before pushing them to the device check with e.g. notepad++ or any
other windows editor that the line endings are UNIX "style" (LF)

Use only CPUFreq and use smartAssV2 as it has both sleep and wake freqs...UV -50 should be good!
Hi
Actually there are a lot of things that you can tweak in the goveners
using the sys interface to make them perform best under certain "preconditions"
You can read this here which I also posted in the Adi_Pat thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
This will give you some great insights on this issue.
Also about the "decision" which govener to use a.s.o
Regarding UV:
As already writen above -50 should be safe all the time
-100 works for me if I limit it to max 1.2GHz but not higher
Then I sometimes have freezes e.g. runnung AnTuTu benchmark
I still have to play with the UV settings to find the optimal ones
Regards
max
Hi
ATTENTION!!!!
Dont use sio I/O scheduler at the moment!!!!
I just discovered some strange during testing.
Stay with deadline this is stock
Will keep you informed if sio is really the reason
If it is it will be removed in next build
regards
max
EDIT: Even intensive testing has not given me the proof that the
sio scheduler was the reason.

Good work brother.
Congratulations on your first source build.
Hoping for a L5 version once all features are added to L7.
You can try adding some features from Pink's kernel by pinkflozyd
Good luck!

Sorry, but no you can't flash it. I'm creating a version for stock ROM, it won't be long until it's out.
OKAY ! Big news !
I've got the stock version booting with following features :
- 1.3 Ghz overclock
- SIOPLUS, ZEN, VR, SIO, and DEADLINE I/O scheduler
- 404 mB userspace RAM
But, a bad news for the stock version is WiFi doesn't work. I'll search for a fix soon.
I ll wait your wifi fix

F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HALP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: Doesn't work with ROMs having different ramdisk or any derivates due to their irresponsibility of using a different ramdisk which needs patches that break stock rom users. Use a different rom and don't bother me.
3. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
4. How do I flash this?
A: Reading the OP, theres a reason why I added instructions on it.
5. What is a data loss? Did I just had one?
A: Data loss is simply having the connection cut for X periods of time, usually few seconds. Grey bars means the device is not connected to Google services for some weird reason, but you'll still have internet connection.
6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.

Normal moto g or second generation?
And there isnt even franco kernel for this device lol so ofc you screw up.
If you indeed own a moto g 2nd gen (titan) and your are running latest cm12 nightly it is safe to flash this kernel.

Sent from my Moto G 2014 using XDA Free mobile app
I did not think the new governors nor Min Freq: 96000
Is there anyway to disable the cpu being clocked at 19000 whenever I touch the screen? It's a feature of CM12, however is there anyway to disable this? I tried putting off mpDecision through Faux123 but it still goes to 19000 even with intelliplug and the user defined option. Any help appreciated!

Neatkernel2.0 by gsstudios
This project is now no longer updated. I won't be using my sgs for a while.
It is compatible with all JB (4.1.2,4.2.2,4.3, 4.3.1) and KK (4.4.2, 4.4.4) ROMs based on AOKP and CM layout!
The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve Neatkernel kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR AOSP BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
- Linux kernel 3.0.101
- Double Recovery
- Swap SD card
- OC up to 1500mhz
- BLN & CM LED
- Compiled with Linaro 4.9.4
- Fast charge
- Vibration intensity
- Deep Idle
- Governor ondemand
- Governor intelliactive
- Governor OndemandX
- Governor lagfree
- Governor wheatley
- Governor smartassV2
- Governor lulzactive
- Governor conservative
- Governor interactive
- Governor interactiveX
- Governor SavagedZen
- Governor minmax
- Governor brazilianwax
- Governor adaptive
- Governor ondemand
- Governor userspace
- Governor powersave
- Governor lionheart
- Governor perfomance
- bfq I/O scheduler
- cfq I/O scheduler
- deadline I/O scheduler
- fifo I/O scheduler
- noop I/O scheduler
- row I/O scheduler
- sioplus I/O scheduler
- vr I/O scheduler
- zen I/O scheduler
- Fast Charge support
- SWAP support
SWAP SD
the hard way is to modify /system/.neatkernel/swapsd from "swapsd=0" to "swapsd=1" and you External Card Will Be use like internal.
delete /system/.neatkernel/swapsd will go back to stock storage status.
CWM Recovery is by default.
To boot in TWRP just hit any volume keys after vibrate to boot into TWRP recovery.
THINGS TO DO:
- Why don't you tell me what to do
THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
Code:
- LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
- Useless CPU governors such as Userspace
- Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
- Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
- Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
- Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
- Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

ISSUES:
Sometimes Camera video recording and Gallery video playing do not starts from first attempt. Do not panic! It is not bug it is feature of CMA memory allocation! Close Camera or Gallery. Try again. - Fixed in build b002
If video playback is crashes with error then you need to flash standard CyanogenMod video libs. This error is due to you use bigmem libs from previous ROM or KERNEL.

Downloads
I test most of these builds to make sure they are stable. There may be some cases where I might not test out a build before releasing it. Kernels marked with '(STABLE)' are safe for everyday use, but only take this as a indication.
Which version to get?
galaxysmtd = international i9000 variant - This is the main version I will be building for
captivatemtd = SGH-i897
galaxysbmtd = Samsung Galaxy S B
vibrantmtd = SGH-T959

Troubleshooting
(Probably one of the most detailed troubleshooting guides for kernels on XDA)
For general help, please use the Q&A thread
Q:How do I flash your kernel?
A: You flash kernels like flashing roms, except you don't have to factory reset your phone. If you can't flash the kernel for some reason, you can either flash philz recovery then flash the kernel OR you can just make your own kernel .tar file and flash via ODIN by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381
Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Builds that have not been marked with 'Stable' are mostly stable, or haven't been tested enough to earn a stable tag. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.
Q: I get constant FCs after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you wiped your cache partition, dalvik cache and reset stweaks settings? If you've done all of these already, a logcat would be nice
Q: What is a TCP algorithm?
A: Congestion control strategies (or algorithms) are used by TCP, the data transmission protocol used by many Internet applications. The main goal of a TCP algorithm is to avoid sending more data than the network is capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion.
Q: Why not use XYZ toolchain?
A: See this post
Q: What is UBER?
A: After years of using different custom toolchains like Linaro and SaberMod, I found there were things I liked about both of them but also things that didn't sit quite as well with me. SaberMod always seemed to have UI lag (especially in scrolling) but opened apps well and Linaro always seemed to be buttery smooth but had terrible app opening speed. Linaro battery was also worse for me than SaberMod. After going back and forth between toolchains I finally had this epiphany! Why not just take all of the best parts of all toolchains and merge them into one? So I began bringing up my own toolchain from gnu.org. At first I patched in all of the AOSP toolchain pactches (much like how SaberMod did it originally however it is important that you realize that No! I did not copy and paste SaberMod into my source I'm simply stating that I used their idea of merging aosp into gnu.org) to my source. Then I went through and added all of the linaro patches that I could to the source. I also made sure that I had the very latest of every toolchain component. I then made very minimal changes to the aosp toolchain build folder to allow for building with these newer toolchain components and UBERTC was born!!! (Note: both Linaro and SaberMod both made lots of modifications to the toolchain build folder, UBERTC is the closest to the aosp build process)

Do you guys want UBER toolchain or Linaro toolchain for this kernel? If you want to know what I think, I think linaro will be better suited as for older devices, linaro usually performs better.
Kernel will be released sometime this week, hopefully by today, I will be able to upload.
There seems to be a problem with the Neatkernel script as the zip files are not being created properly. Will fix this issue soon.
Test builds are up, must be flashed using ODIN or heimdall. Won't be a 'official' release until I fix the zip issues.
regards, gsstudios
Update: All good now. Just renamed the zimage from the .tar file to boot.img, then it should be flashable in a zip file. This kernel is officially released now.
great work
many thanks
Next build will have CMA reverted. Bigmem is much more stable and reliable compared to CMA, but that means of course we get less ram. BFQ will now be able to be selected and Westwood is now the default TCP algorithm. I will decide whether to build with UBER toolchain later on the kernel development, right now the focus is on improving the stability of the kernel and porting new features.

Just flashed NeatKernel_galaxys_v2.0b002-[11-02]-[17-33].zip. Live OC is not supporting, Custom Voltages is not supporting... A lot of features from description of kernel are not supporting. Why it happened?

Will be available hopefully in next build. Was supposed to edit the OP and add those features later.

It will be great if you port this kernel to ICS.
may I know the ram for this kernel ? thanks

v2b002 ram amount is about 382Mb
Due to the lack of activity on my i9000, I have decided to abandon this project and will no longer give updates to this kernel. The thread will remain open until it becomes unused.

OK. But you must to delete your feature list, cause it is fake most of all, unfortunately.

Just think of it as incomplete. I just don't have the time to work on the sgs anymore (need more time on my sgs 2 as this is my main device, main development device). Sorry I couldn't bring all promised features.
Regards, gsstudios
Update: OP updated. This will be the last post on this thread. Seems like a good time to close it.

Just kidding, Thanks @AuxXxilium..
Amazing

thanks. nice to see someone knows me after a long time away.
tested the kernel briefly on Unofficial RR, the UFS speeds seem to be much better than LK or Carbonite... missing the home button though flashing like crazy today, can't catch a break
@AuxXxilium as you've stated in OP home button is not usable, But mine is working fine..
OMG, you are alive still? Used to use your kernel before I learned how to make kernels

I remember you from the G2 times too, I used to follow your work back then, I'm happy to see you again. I'll definitely try your kernel and keep my eye on this thread!
Glad to see more kernel devs are supporting us folks on LOS. Flashing this kernel presently.

Thanks I am just a noob haha, you didn't want to believe me
I'm running latest Codeworkx build. Home button doesn't work with stock or vision kernel, but works with lightning kernel. Don't know why
Please be careful. i removed the latest version - because it crashes the dash charge. search for the problem and will fix it soon.
