[ROM][4.4.4][ALL] SlimKat 9.1 UNOFFICIAL [29/12/2015]

[Guest SaurabhRCk]

Just uploaded a new kernel to test: chil360-kernel-20140312-1459.zip

 

After 2 days of tracking down this issue, I have found that by removing asswax, smartassv2 & smartassH3 (disabling in kernel config) the lock/unlock music issue is fixed. I don't know why this is the case - adding these govenors should not affect anything if I'm not using them.

just flashed the new kernel! exceptional improvement. no music issue, ui became more smooth, lockscreen unlocking and ring animation smoothness increased (previously is gave some problem like a little lag). status bar pull down smoother. overall very good performance improvement! Great work!

I've hit some issues with some third party apps force closing.......

 

 I've had no problems with any of those apps that I also use, but I am having trouble with Google+ and DropBox. Both of these apps have been forceclosing since updating the ROM, although I may have gotten Google+ sorted out by wiping it's data and cache with Titanium and reinstalling from Playstore, we'll see if it sticks after a reboot. I tried that already with DropBox and had no luck, but it didn't work the first time for Google+ either so maybe I'll just keep trying.

 

Lol nevermind, looks like Google+ is still FCing... And that's me, fresh out of ideas  :wacko:

My Google + is fine...... I've flashed the newer kernel with a clean fresh install of 3.6, but I'm noticing a great big drop in performance, such as keyboard lag, notification pull down lag, lock screen lag, and status bar lag. It just doesnt seem very smooth rite now, which it did before I reflashed it ??? (The original install was a"dirty" install over 3.4) But good news I've got no apps force closing, and WiFi is 10 tines better than it was, I haven't had any connection drops at all :-D Edited March 12, 2014 by ivan41

Is chil kernel included in Rom?

The newer kernel can be downloaded from chils Google drive from the link on the first post :-) Edited March 12, 2014 by ivan41

I'm using last 3.6 build and last kernel (the one with less governors) the phone is working good and i don't have pixilated youtube! Wow

[Guest rederik75]

Have you tested it? Does this fix the lock/unlock problem for you? Next is to try and work out why adding these govenors causes the problem.

Yess! Jumps while locking/unlocking and during playback are almost completely disappeared ... just very few cases that may be due to everything else, not necessarily the kernel.... I'm using the whole frequency range with intellidemand governor and row scheduling, MPdecision disabled and 512 readahead cache

[Guest chil360]

I have just released kernel v0.30. It is just the same as the test build from earlier with the version number bumped.

Changelog
---------
v0.30
* Overclock GPU to 320 MHz (from CeXstel kernel)
* Disable asswax, smartassh3, smartassV2 to fix audio interuption issue when locking/unlocking

I have no idea why those govenors cause the audio issues so I don't know how to fix it. If I work out the cause I'll add them back again.

[Guest Vule991]

Latest kernel compatible to CM11?

[Guest spanitzer]

Hey chil.

Can we use this driver?

Is a flashable ZIP .

Latest rom 3.6 with kernel 0.30 works good. Great work Chil360 ;].

[Guest Jairus1998]

@chil360

Can you make a swap file support for the kernel. I would love it :)

By the way, I have your ROM in my SD and just waiting for a kernel with swap support.

Thanks for your cooperation

As things stand, we cannot use any updated adreno blobs - flashing this zip will just bootloop the phone. From what I understand, to make these work it would need major updates to the kernel with more up to date qcom msm code from the CAF kernel. It would also need changes in building the rom using the qcom caf repos instead of qcom legacy. As much as I would like to do this, I don't have the knowledge to do the kernel updates - a more experienced kernel dev would need to do this. I can add the odd kernel patch but this is beyond what I can do.

[Guest tadopogi]

any fc or not responding problems on 3.6 now?

But i have flashed on CM 10.2 and no bootloop. All OK.

[Guest wackoj]

How should I flash the kernel? I think the process of installation is: Factory reset-Flash ROM- Flash gapps - flash kernel. Am I right?? I have never flashed a kernel before

Just flash it from recovery no need to wipe anything!

[Guest Caras69]

So,it's ok with the new kernel,music is ok now,phone responds a bit better and youtube isn't pixelated anymore,which i like. The bad things are that it's a bit laggy at status pulldown and keyboard and  mine have some issues at recent apps tab,doesn't show them properly or doesn't show any of recent apps.

That's right , make sure you always flash the rom before the kernel. You don't need to wipe everytime you flash a kernel. Edited March 13, 2014 by mockingbird

flash kernel after rom

no wipe required

Just looked at the updater script in the flashable zip... it uses package_extract_dir to attempt to copy the files but this function does not overwrite files if they already exist. The update script would have to use the delete function to remove the existing libs before copying the new ones but it doesn't. So this zip hasn't updated your adreno blobs at all - if it had it would bootloop. If you do a logcat you will see the version string of the adreno libs and it will still be the old one.
