Credits go to @ktoonsez for his kernel sources and KT apps (KTweaker and KTmonitor) :good:
Disclaimer: me no responsible if you use this!
So what is this? KT-SGS4 AOSP-4.4 S4 kernel ported to S4 Active (Intl). What has changed is of course jactive related stuff:
jactive board definitions and kernel config
camera sources and handler functions
some display settings
assorted stuff, can't really remember all the imporant bits
pre 1.0.0 AOSP4.4
Also, i tried to make a unified kernel, i.e. all differences between original and jactive are controlled with code ifdefs. But this haven't been tested as i don't have S4
So what works? So far i have found only one bug, when making or receiving calls i can't hear what the other side is saying and vice versa, i.e. no audio. Call sounds fixed.
Also overclocking the CPU seems to be broken, at least KTmonitor shows CPU to go only up to 1890 even though the clock is set over that value. So that's one thing to work on. I'll try to debug someday next week.
Compiled with linaro-4.7-12.10 toolchain.
This should work on CM11 and AOSP based roms. Personally i have it running on SlimKat (dualboot) and CM11. Just flash the CWM zip. It contains KTweaker and KTmonitor apps, courtesy of ktoonsez. Thanks mate.
Latest version 04.14.2014
Personal experiences:
benchmarks are slower than with CM11 kernel, dunno if it matters...
still it's smooth in everyday use
KTweaker has lots of stuff to tweak, only if i had time...
AOSP4.4/CM11
This one works with CM11 and AOSP v 1.0.0 and later. Don't use with earlier AOSP since this needs newer blobs.
KT-SGS4-KK4.4-AOSP-eur-02.11.2015
Built with Linaro 4.9 2014.09
Beta release
AOSP5.0/CM12
As there is no AOSP5.0 for jactive yet, just use CM12 .
KT-SGS4-LP5.0-AOSP-eur-02.15.2015:
fixed bootloop for now at least
supports ext4/f2fs partitions
KT-SGS4-LP5.0-AOSP-eur-02.11.2015
Built with Linaro 4.9 2014.09
Beta release
TouchWiz
This one works with KK TW roms (well i have tried only WizCyan...). Seems stable with default clocks and even with some OC. But every phone is different in regards OC, so YMMV. KTweaker and KTmonitor included. Do note that Display settings might not work as we don't have Amoled.
Changes ver 01.12.2015
Fixed unresponsive screen bug
Compiled with Linaro 4.9-2014.09
Changes ver 01.03.2015
overclocking works better now
increased touchscreen min limit freq, hopefully removes problem with unresponsiveness
built with Linaro 4.7.12.10
Changes ver 12.15.2014 (BETA)
first version of KT TW kernel for jactive
added KEXEC_HARDBOOT support, works with MultiROM
General notes
Do keep in mind that if you don't set oc settings in boot, you need to use KTweaker app and reset the cpu min and max sliders for the settings to take effect. Even though the app asks if you want to apply the settings, it doesn't update the actual min and max values.

Heh, thanks. Sadly there seems to be a bug with call audio, so for test use only at this point. I went through the kernel code and all i can think of to do is to try audio stuff from CM11 kernel, to see if that's the problem. Still, audio works perfectly everywhere else so really hard to say what's wrong...

True, but luckily i have two phones and sims (other one is my work phone) so it's easier to debug.
Some progress: it turns out that for some reason es325 codec can't connect to slimbus sink and thus no audio. slimbus has some kt additions, need to debug more. Also i think it would be good to try to build the kernel with some other toolchain than linaro...

Yes, modules are compiled and part of the cwm package. I haven't checked that all required modules are present, but i don't think that's the problem. Gonna be setting up a proper kernel dev env, found a good howto for Eclipse here: http://simonkagstrom.livejournal.com/33093.html. Regular editors just aren't cutting it anymore

Thanks . Luckily i had some experience with LeJay's cm10.2 kernel and cm11 kernel so i knew roughly what parts differ between jf an jactive. Just a matter of diffing those parts (meld is my tool of choice for that kind of work).

Did you read the topic? this kernel is for 4.4
Indeed, it's for AOSP 4.4.x. You propable need to reflash the whole rom to get back original boot.img and kernel modules.
As for the phone sound being too low, dunno. If it was working ok with the original Carbon kernel, that points the problem being in the new kernel. But to my limited understanding, the volumes come from settings outside the kernel... personally i'm running CM11 with this kernel and volumes are ok.
The volume in carbon rom also is the same. I tried the sound mods but it changes all the volumes of system other than the incall volume.

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
- init.d script support
- CPU Voltage support through 3rd party apps
- Modified GPU DVFS utilisation steps for maximum GPU performance, far better than stock (this is NOT overclocking!)
- No logging / debugging of any kind for higher performance
- 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

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

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.

I will download the new version and try thanks!

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:

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 care lol! I still get some occasional choppiness while using ADW. Does your note run smoother now? Also does it improve the wake up delay/lag?

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.

I thought kernels included the recovery, because I've swapped kernels before and it changes my CMW version or just change my recovery entirely.

Kernel+ for AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs
This is a kernel that I have been compiling and using on my own device for a while, and I want to share this with the community. I enjoy the CM10.1 stock kernel, but I want to keep up to date with the newest Linux version and CodeAuroraForum source. I also want the most optimized experience possible, along with a few extra features. Kernel+ is always built with the latest Linux kernel and Qualcomm CAF sources to provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience. The source can be found on my GitHub here Enjoy .
What is this?
This is a kernel based off of CyanogenMod's 'cm-10.1' branch of the Galaxy S III kernel.
Kernel+ is built with the goals in mind:
To always be up to date with the latest source from CodeAuroraForum and Kernel.org
To optimize as much as possible for the smoothest user experience
To base closely off of the CM10.1 kernel for optimal stability, not features
To provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience for users
Features
Linux 3.4.54
always up to date with the latest source straight from Qualcomm's CodeAuroraForum
latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain compiled
CPU frequency from 384Mhz - 1.5Ghz
FauxSound App support
FRandom built-in
GPU overclocked to 480 Mhz default
custom voltage control
excellent battery life
optimized and stable
small kernel size
more coming soon...

Instructions for Installing
1. Download the kernel.
2. Copy it to your phone.
3. Flash with TWRP or CWM.
Note: Kernel+ is packaged with invisiblek's AnyKernel, meaning that it will unpack your current ramdisk and repack it with this kernel during the flashing process. This means that it will be compatible with any AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, even if they have different ramdisks. Also, please make sure that you are currently running a stock AOSP kernel (CM10.1, AOKP, SlimBean, etc) before flashing Kernel+ so that your ramdisk will be compatible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I disable GPU overclock?
By default, the GPU is allowed an extra 480 Mhz freq step, whereas stock only allowed up to 400 Mhz. If you feel that you do not need the extra GPU 3D power, then you can disable it by adding the line:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_pwrlevel
to the file /system/etc/init.d/98kernelplus. Then reboot.
How do I adjust the voltages?
You can control the CPU freq voltages by using an app such as Trickster, System Tuner, SetCPU, etc.
What is frandom? How do I enable it?
Frandom is basically a more efficient random generator. It can be used in place of /dev/urandom and is 10 - 50 times faster. Using frandom will use very little of the kernel's Entropy pool, which in turn will provide better performance and smoothness. Frandom is already built-in to the kernel and enabled via an init.d script. No need to manually enable it.

I may be wrong but I don't think a kernel will cause force closing issues. Also, Ive been running the next 3d launcher with slimbean6 and its very smooth. Try wiping dalvik/cache then reboot and if it's still occurring then clear data under Settings->Apps for whicher app is force closing.

Can't speak on the battery life yet since I switched ROM back to cm rc5 since the call fc issue I had with RB. However, I'm getting some flickering but it could be rc5 issue. Other than that this kernel seem so damn smooth battery life seem like its good too but a little early to judge. Nice new toy op!:beer:

I am currently testing the commits I pushed this morning, and so far I haven't experienced anymore flickering with the new MDP bandwidth values. :good:
I just need to add a few things and an update will be coming soon!
But for now, if the flickering really gets in the way, check disable hw overlays in developer settings. But just FYI if you check that option you are basically disabling project butter, and your experience will not be as smooth.

If anyone else is not experiencing flickering than I'm guessing its RC5 (CM). I will look into it and do more testing to see what might be the culprit. Thanks!

I take that back...even with the new commits and bandwidth values, I still get flicker, although it seems to be less often. I still have to debug more and see where it is coming from.

I am still fixing my git hub right now looks like I switched repositories and made a few commits the wrong way like didnt show records quite right because of the mix. however I am going to fix that later I just realized this after looking to see if I made the kernel go to 1.89 ghz while booting up for a faster boot =] so no worries to you up and coming kernel devs I will show you how I did it on git the right way. to regular users this means nothing special to you. git is just a record of the files and text code in those files to share with others, which I def want to do since I couldn't find the coding for oc up to 1890mhz and would love to share that.

Hey Rushing, just tried this on top of JMT8 (with super cache wipe/twrp 2.6.1) and WiFi seems to be broken! Toggle in settings will not stay in ON position. Flashed back to twrp 2.6.0 because of your instructions and tried again (no cache wipe),same result. Flashed back to Tiberious 2.1 (no cache wipe) and phone booted up with WiFi on and working again.

Okay, thanks for testing I likely will never have time to flash all the ROMs and test compatibility.
I will take another stab at it. this time around all the modules will be deleted and replaced
where as in the first version the modules were expected to flash over the old ones which i guess doesnt always werk as leftovers may be uncompatible.
new build 1.1 is up thanks for testing let me know of success or failure please..
the new build works for me on my own ROM.
Wi-fi working fine here but I'm also using Rushing's Shad0w ROM. (1.1 version of kernel)
Just out of curiosity, Rushing, which of your ROMs do you use as your daily on the hercules?
Just tried 1.1 and WiFi still won't turn on with JMT8, obviously compatibility issue between the 2 of some sort. Per @aahz, kernel appears compatible with your roms Rushing. To continue the test, I'm going to flash my Shadow 1.6 nandroid tomorrow and then try 1.0 and 1.1 both just to see (and confirm). Looking forward to your next Hercules rom brother, Later

However, please try to limit it to features found in other kitkat roms since it's most likely beyond my ability to forward port things lol

Ok, quick question, I've always used nexus louder mod because of low volume on my phone due to the headphone jack being a p.o.s. any one know of a way to fix volume on 4.4?
I've tried the usual, i.e. build prop edits and such but haven't been able to make anything work too well.

Well, you could use the viper4android app
Its more of a super feature rich dsp manager, but it also has the capability of increasing the volume of headphone audio, speaker audio and bluetooth audio

Hey, just a suggestion, I would try cherry picking from Fitsnugly CM11, they have Quick Toggle Settings setup.
Thanks for this. 3G/4G handoff has been seamless. :good:
Ooooo! I love new ROMs to try! Thanks for this

looks like he just cherry picked them from the cm gerrit so I should be able to add that in (unless he also made local changes)
right now I'm trying to get a build with linaro 4.8 toolchain in to see if linaro or 4.8 gcc breaks anything right now
so far only had a couple of errors stopping the build but they were easily fixed (hopefully no more pointless Werror clfags hidden around lol)
Btw, any ideas on kernels?

From what I've read, the CM kernel has stopped the random reboots. Would building with another kernel bring them back?
oh, one other thing that would be great, i don't know if it's doable, is a clear button for recents.

Not sure how fixing the reboots, but dhackers version of the cm kernel is supposed to at least help
I could switch to it and then see if I can add different patches to bring in more available kernel settings and overclock

It may be possible, I'm sure either AOSPA, slim roms or vanir have that brought up to kitkat in their source
if not then i can at least try to port it from the 4.3.1 sources

I haven't seen it yet in any 4.4 rom, but it'd be sweet if you could do it.
So far it's the best CM11 ROM I've tried thus far! This will get me through until January when I'm going to the Nexus 5. Thanks for the hard work! Looking forward to this one getting better & better!

You should definitely switch to the dhacker kernel. I'm on his 11/18 build, I've been trying to get a screen freeze or reboot...... Its not happening.

This ROM is smooth. I'm having one issue though. I can't seem to log into my Google account in the calendar app. It just keeps saying it can't access the Google servers.
EDIT: calendar just started syncing.
Possible to add hold back to kill app???
