Which one shouldI choose with this ROM?
Hi, I was wondering if I should choose the Kitkat 4.4.4 AOSP kernel or the GPE kernel with this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
Thanks in advance for answering!

Anyone?!
Does anyone know this?

It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore, I found out which one. You need the Google play edition 4.4.4 and not the AOSP 4.4.4
In the end it was actually not that difficult, so I'm sorry for posting this "not that smart" question without reading a lot.

Random Reboot
Hi, i have installed this kernel using the setting in your script V6.
I have random reboot.
I use it on galxy s4 with google edition rom.
I hope you can help me, sorry for my english and i hope that what i have written is correct.
Thank you

Hi at all. I'm searching a post on XDA (I can't find it for now) where are explained all governor's parameters like block_cycles_offline_screen_on or boost_hold_cycles and ALL others.

Hay. I'm using MultiROM since a few weeks. I used the Alucard Kernel until now because you need the Kexec Hardboot patch to use it. Would it be possible to add this Patch to the Kernel? I love your Kernel but I also love MultiROM. It would be great if we could combine both

Guys first time using the kernel, I loaded "Smooth Criminal"" profile, so far so good, anyways, my question is about the Fast charge, is it safe to draw 1900mA (that is what the lecture says) from a USB port?? my rig is a gaming one and another thing is that is set to Fast Charge = Enable, USB Port = 425mA and AC = 1600mA, I assume those Custom values are override because is set to ""Enable"" instead of ""Custom"", just wondering if its safe.. :/ How would I know.

need help regarding battery life
first of all thanks a lot for the kernel.im quite new to android and had a battery draining issue from the beginning and i changed my kernel in to this but no significant improvement of the battery life.other than that my phone is very smooth n no any other issue.im wondering why the battery drain so fast and its not last even a day with a full charge.screen on normally 2 hours per day.this is my first kernel installation and i did it accordingly other than fixing permission because there was no such option in the recover mode.it would be so nice if some one kindly guide me to resolve the problem because im sure there is something wrong in my device but not the kernel. these are some information about my device
model number gt-i9505
android 4.4.2
baseband version i9505xxufnc4
kernel 3.4.98 KT-SG_kk4.4 07.12.2014
i am using ktoonsified v6 profile in ktweaker and i have tried manual settings as well
i have attached a screen shot of my battery usage. display is on around 20mns
thanks in advance

Thank you for this kernel!

Hello,
Exactly the same problem for me, GSM and WiFi does not work with this kernel (KT-SGS4-KK4.4-AOSP-INTL-12.7.2014) on a "Snapshot CM11-M12 in Galaxy S4 Intl"
Sorry for my bad English

Hi all !
Hello guys.I have a I9505 for a month now and so far i've enjoyed playing with rooting/modding and so on.I've flashed CM11 at first but I replaced it with some modded Echoe Rom Touchwizz 4.4.2 ROM,Today I flashed this kernel and i'm so pleased with it.Lots of cutomizable options,OC capable and so on.My issue with my device it's that it gets hot very fast(after 10-15min of gaming) and after that it starts to throtlle .I've used like 3 different kernels so far including the stock one and the problem persists.With this one I managed to OC the cpu to 2106MHZ stable and the GPU to 545MHZ also stable.When I enter Asphalt8 for the first 5-7 minutes the performance it's just flawless compared to non-OC settings.The problem is after those couple of minutes it begins to throtlle as it does and I find myself running at 1.2GHZ or so CPU freq and 128MHZ GPU wich mages the game unplayable.I also set the throttle limit way upper to 85-90 degrees or so...still nothing seems to be stopping the throtlling on my device.If anyone has some tips or so please do help me.I really wanna enjoy this kernel xD ! :-bd

CM12 with this kernel -> experiences?
I just switched from stock Samsung 4.2.2 to AntaresOne's Unoffical CM12 rom on my S4 i9505.
I'm having the Miscellaneous battery drain issue (even though I still have better battery performance than with the stock Samsung rom), and have been thinking of installing this kernel.
However, on the xda forums a lot of ppl seem to be of the opinion that switching kernel will result only in minimal to unnoticeable improvement in terms of power consumption (taking into account just the kernel, not things as Greenifying, freezing and such which are kernel independent).
Can any of you give some feedback whether they have been getting noticeably better battery life with this kernel in similar circumstances (CM12, Miscellaneous drain) with ktoonservativeq or conservative governors?
Also, are there any other significant advantages to this kernel than power/cpu management over the AntaresOne CM12 kernel?

Hi
How I can find the S4 Touchwiz 4.4.4 Kernel Source?

Permission to use your kernel
I am requesting permission to include your kernel in a ROM that I am building.

Hi!
I've used the TwZ Kernel 4.4.2 on my 9505, Stock 4.4.2 ZTO (Brasil) rom, Rooted (of course) and have a issue:
When flashed and reboots, it stuck on "Samsung GT9505.." Logo. The sounds it makes is the same from a custom booting, but still stucked 4ver.
Flashed via CWM 6.0.4.7
I also Wiped Cache/Dalvik, but didnt Fix permissions (CWM 6.0.4.7 dont have this option anymore)
Please, if I've did something wrong or not.
Also, i've already have everything back to normal after flashing a Rom backup
Sorry for most worst english.

I need help, what rom work great with this version of kernel AOSP KITKAT 4.4 VERSION ?

ktoonsez awsome
ktoonsez, sweet kernel as always
only issue I've got is it doesn't work with the induction charging pads, I've got a genuine Samsung one.
I know this is fairly low on your radar and priorities list but if you could update this thread when you get to it, that would be great
Cheers

induction charge
I think i posted in the wrong thread before, your kernels are the bomb, im using the last 5.0 release on cm12 optimised release and its fast no random reboot. Very fast, and i know mr kstoonzes youre working on bigger things but when you get around to it please have a look at the induction charging, few reports saying its borked. Other 5.0 kernels fine. Keep up the awsomest work and happy xhristman

Kernel suport 5.0

D800 question

I'm kinda lost here. I'm looking to buy a D800, but wanted to know if root and leave the phone free to install aosp roms like CM11 will be possible and not complicated as hell. Wich are the steps I should follow to root / unlock, install twrp, and backup the original rom? (To later install CM11)...
Please any advice, links, etc will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

The phone itself is good but the stock software is annoying. There are stable aosp roms available, but they have all very bad Cameras and inferior battery life. So basically most people would be forced to use the crappy lg stock rom anyway. Rooting is very easy as well as recovery

Oh that's bad news... had the idea to flash it with CM11 (while 12 is under development), or G3 roms, some people had told me this phone were good with AOSP roms... It's only the camera that does not work as intended on aosp roms? No fix for battery?

I have D800 and it really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I can get 12 hours of usage on CM11 with 4-5 hours of screen time. Stock Rom is fine but then again I use the T-Mobile stock Rom on mine when I'm stock or CloudyG3 Rom. Right now I'm using Flyme OS Rom and I started this morning at 45% and was at 7% after 12 hours of work and had 4 hours of screen time.

Yes I'm about to purchase a d800, if it is good with CM11, then its good for me. Maybe later it will have lollipop roms and that will be another era... Thanks for the answers! Cheers.

Hey FedericoUY, I received my phone about a month ago and I'll go through my journey from all of the likely problems and what's required for unlocking, rooting, installing a rom for the first time on this device. I'll describe the benefits/disadvantages from the different rom distributors recommended for this device. Until a few days ago I would have agreed AOSP was better left avoided on this device, and why CM11 is still not recommended for the G2.
When I received my G2, while I had the intention to flash it. I was gravely disappointed with it, because of the shocking software and default setup. But it's become my favourite phone since. I too thought CM11 would do it for me, it really didn't on this phone. And the display & specs make it seem extremely outdated, not to mention none of the phone-specific features really worked.
(In order of events)
Sim Locking for AT&T (do first)
By default it's locked, as I imported it through the US and without an account for them I had to purchase a 3rd party unlock code for $2. Strangely I had to keep it unlocked on the stock firmware for a certain amount of time (tried a day) before it remembered the unlocking when flashing a custom firmware.
Rooting (do secondly)
The only method which worked on the latest G2 stock rom was to use "Stump Root" in the "Brute force" mode as the latest rom version didn't have a pre-configured rooting routing.
Installing a custom recovery (do third)
The only method which worked on the latest G2 stock rom was an app called "D800_AutoRec.apk" which just installed the latest TWRP recovery, from there I could flash anything.
Which roms are decent for the D800?
While personally I've stayed with more AOSP roms like CM and AOKP, the best rom & kernel to use in terms of performance/battery life and phone specific features is not the stock G2 software nor AOSP. I'll explain further why.
For the kernel, the arguably most matured and feature rich, battery friendly and performance suited kernel is the Dorimanx kernel. Which is unfortunately only compatible with stock G2 & G3 roms.
With this in consideration and all of the improvements in the G3 firmware, fully supporting this phone's features, makes the G3 roms peoples choice, in particular CloudyG3 targeted for the G2.
When it comes to AOSP like roms, there is two okay kernels which are compatible with CM and the other is only compatible with AOSP roms, with a few exceptions. Both of these kernels have poor battery life in comparison and produce a lot of heat, not to mention lesser abilities in terms of tweaking (overclocking, underclocking rate, faster charge, etc). It generally only gets worse from here using rom released kernels. It's fairly uncommon for features such as double tapping wake to work, and the lack of on-screen keyboard usability improvements.
However, Lollipop has turned things around. While not flossing as much battery life savings as CloudyG3 with the Dorimanx kernel, performance, design/look (can change Google keyboard to old theme) has brilliantly increased. It's been the only close to stock rom I've ever been largely happy with. Despite not having any real CM features and a few bugs at this moment in time.
Therefore, if you like the ability to tweak and charge faster and overclock a lot with great battery life I suggest CloudyG3 and Dorimanx. If you want an AOSP rom, I'd use Lollipop. If you want a full featured stock rom with a nice kernel, I'd wait awhile and opt for CloudyG3 until lollipop roms mature. For a battery comparison, the stock G3 rom with a custom kernel lasted me 5-7 days without charging, with CM11 I can only get about 1 day if I'm lucky.

[I9505] CM12 nightlies vs official stock ROM for Lollipop?

Hi guys,
Now that the stock ROM has been around for a week, I was curious if someone made the switch from CM12 or any other custom lollipop ROM to stock and would like to share their experience?
I, for instance, switched from CM11 (4.4.4) to stock and found the battery drain worse than in kitkat. Customization is also a clear drawback on stock lollipop since Xposed modules are not ported yet. Would like to know if any custom ROM matches the stability of stock and goes beyond it's features :what:

I don't usually use GPE or CM roms but I'm really really liking JFLTE-GPE 5.0.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353.
I've using it for a week and been having great battery. Last night I just installed Xposed alpha for Lollipop with GravityBox[LP} with no issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox

Using the same GPE rom as posted above for about 3 months. No problems.
It also has good battery life. If you let the phone idle, it will last you around 2 weeks
That's what the battery stats reported this morning.

I used CM11 for a long time, (since it was released till now), and I have to say, I'm a fan of being technical updated. ATM I'm using the Stock 5.0.1 Samsung Lollipop (of course, with removed Bloatware), and I'm afraid. I like the Samsung UI für the Stock, thats a little reason for me to use the Stock-ROMs. I don't have any Battery issues or find it worse than CM11. And even if, I've got my JBL Charge and Charge 2 to charge my phone in city. haha.
Well, i like them both but for now, I prefer Stock 5.0.1 (and can't wait for 5.0.2/5.1.0). Maybe i change back to CM12 (Antares/Alucard) when they made a 5.1.0 Update (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934).

I too used CM11 for a while on my i9505 and I loved the customization freedom. But I was pretty miserable about the battery life and overheating issues. Also, the stock camera was MUCH MUCH better than the one on CM 11 or even the Google Cam.
I am now back to stock with 5.0.1 and the battery life and camera have revived. But I equally miss the customization, so was wondering if anyone would recommend a custom ROM over stock.

I just went through an ordeal all for Viper4Android. Tried various kernel work arounds on stock 5.0.1 to get the V4A driver to install (no luck). Flashed to CM 12.1 and thought I was set only to find that cellular service (no sim card) didn't work. Flashed back to CM 11 and had the same issue. Then tried a ROM call Triforce and bricked my phone. Ended up doing a factory reset/wipe back to Lollipop 5.0.1 and now everything works again, but I'm not happy with the sound quality I'm getting now vs what I had with V4A under Kitkat. Wish I'd have never upgraded. V4A was wonderful. Anyway, CM 12.1 seemed to be pretty good for the short time I had it.
Part of me wants to try CM again but I don't want to go through all the problems.

Viper4Android needs a permissive kernel to work. If SELinux status is Enforcing then it won't work. Generally custom kernels have it set to permissive.

You are correct. The stock Lollipop kernel would never change to permissive no matter what the SELinux setting was. Very frustrating. Only solution that I could find was kernel replacement via a different ROM. Didn't quite work out though due to the cellular network loss.
Edit: back on topic, I made the switch but only out of necessity and not desire.

Stock VS CM12.1 based

Hello,
I haven't tried CM12.1 or other slim/resurection/ Dirty Unicorns roms because I would really miss stock apps from stock based roms.
So this is my question:
If I do love good picture quality and quickremote apk (and reliable bluetooth), can I still have them on non stock roms ? I would love to have a less battery eater rom but I am afraid of loosing these functionnalities.
Thanks all for your time
a flashcoolick

Tried some roms mate but believe me I'm still on 4.4.2 cloudystock, cloudy flex roms
That's due to :
Cyanogen won't support xdadebbs driver for camera
Battery life is still good on 5.1.1 but I think they having all those lg stock features and same or 1/2 hours more on cyanogen worths it
5.0.2 stock based updates made me furious due to many hangs and less battery life.
4.4.2 FTW

I have been using Inazuma and it's been great on my 802.

Cloudy or MM

Im new at this phone and getting it today the d800 i have files already for CM13. Which one is more stable and can overclock without issues? Cloudy or MM?

Why do you want to overclock? CM13 is 100 times faster then any 5.0 stock rom, you don't need to overclock. But when using CM you should accept there are bugs and parts not working well. Camera is always best on stock! Sound in stock is better. But on CM13, GPS works well and my phone is as a brand new up to date fast phone. ALthough there are some bugs, it's stable as hell. Never had any hangup or reboot, using CM13's special build from Dr4xxxx (see the most thanked post in official CM13 thread) and Psychogames Kernel. Battery is the same for me.

It depands on you
Well I have tried both ....cloudy rom gives you the feel of LG g4 plus it is stock based rom so it will be bugs free... but it has a lot LG bloatwares which some people find them useful ..you can also install dorimanx kernel which can overclock both CPU and GPU (which for me it is note an important feature since it affects battery life and stability of our precious g2).
CM13 in the other hand is debloated rom with all new Marshmallow features with fast response and much more free ram...it has a few bugs but the developers all fixing it in a good time...I have installed it since last week from Cyanogenmod official site and tested intensively and the only bugs I have found so far are : the rear notification led is not working and the quality of the camera is fine but not as stock .....everything else is working great including the IR remote functions.
For me I have decided to keep using CM13 ?

before doing anything else, make sure your phone is not refurbished. then proceed. if refurbished it could say d800 but be a ls980. so itll brick.
if you dont care about camera, slow motion, and 4k video. then go CM is faster.
camera in stock is better. but CM or AOSP have some bugs. when i tried them theres was hissing coming from speaker.
if you go th cloudy route, then i recomend
CHELOZTEAM UX4 V4.
powerg2
icex
cloudy. to me battery isnt good as others and its slower. besides the others are based on newer firmwares cloudy hasnt been updated.
