Root Starship Kernels 06/29/2015 (Stock|AOSP|CM)

Chairshot215 · Jan 9, 2015

Starship Kernel is being developed in conjunction with the not yet posted Starship Rom. Like I had done with the KK incarnation of the Starship Rom I am also posting the Kernel separately for anyone who may not like the Rom's Theme. Though unlikely as that may sound because I have spent much time and effort with the Kernel am posting the Kernel separately so it can be used with other Roms and not just Starship.

If you are looking for new features to play with this will not be the Kernel for you. It is designed to improve the overall experience as if it was not there. At this point and probably never you wont find over clocking or voltage controls to play with but rather just a more efficient overall experience.

Each Kernel Download section contains a link to the commit list for both the purpose of following rules about posting links to Kernel Sources as well as serving as a change log. You will find in the main branch all Linux Kernel Increment Updates are grouped into one commit. This is to easily distinguish what commits have been made as part of the Linux Kernel Increment Updates from other additions/optimizations that are not part of the Linux Version Updates. You can find descriptions of each change made as part of the Increment Updates in the staging branch. In other words the second link below the download links will give a description off the changes made in the Linux Version Updates .

AOSP/Stock (Android Version 5.1.1)

AOSP/Stock Kernel is compiles using Google's GCC 4.8 toolchain and tested on both the Stock 5.1.1 Rom as well as an AOSP compiled Rom using unmodified pure 5.1.1 Source code. The Kernel may or may not work on all custom Roms based on 5.1.1 depending on what changes have been made by the Roms developer and how far the Rom has strayed from the original source code. In most cases if the Rom is AOSP based the Kernel will work but provide no guarantee as am not testing with every ROM available. If you find a Rom the Kernel does not work with feel free to comment but please include what Kernel was used that did not work as I may be able to shed light on reasons why and provide a workaround if possible. With most cases of incompatibility will find that the Kernel is not the issue rather what is included inside the boot.img like Ramdisk / iinit.rc files that set permissions and create the Rom file-system.

CM-12.1

CM-12.1 Kernels may be updated more frequently without posting a new date so don’t be surprised to see multiple release number increments. In most cases there has been no change in the Kernel itself but update frequently as development is fast moving. Because of this some of the files that get packaged into the boot.img along with the Kernel may change and cause issues. Because of this will update as frequently as I can to insure everything packaged into the boot.img is up to date.

Updated Kernels with a few new optimizations and 3.4.36 version update

Hunter5 · Mar 2, 2015

You mentioned in your post N7, do you currently have anything available for a 2012 N7 wifi only? Can't handle stock Lollipop anymore.

Unfortunately not 2012. Once Starship L is Ready should be available for all Nexus Devices but will be using Stock Kernel. Otherwise Starship L is getting close. Had been thinking of posting screen shots. Has not been easy to apply with Material Desighn and some of the bright happy feelings that had to go. Sorry Hot Pink and bright ars Orange just needed to be erased from existence. Also needed to go through and replace a majority of the white. Some with an off white colour but each their own. Some like the bright ios like look but if so will not be a Starship Fan.

Chairshot215 · Mar 6, 2015

Well it feels like with all the side track projects been talking Starship L long enogh maybe some of those who have sent PM's asking about the lollipop update are starting to become doubters so decided to post up a few screen shots. Was going to finish a few things then go over the theme image by image and color by color but think instead after finishing up a few things will post and then start going over each apk over again for touching up, fixing and adding missed optimizations including Kernel updating along the way. Once again not for everyone so haters can hate and I just keep doing it because its what I like doing.

Well it was worth a shot. Gotta figure something out, I'm not buying a new tablet.

Made new boot.img for Stock / AOSP 5.1.0 as old image used in 5.0 - 5.0.2 caused boot loops.

May be able to get a refurbished 2013 pretty darn cheep. My work supplies them with energy management systems for a remote ui and diagnostic applications. Have a decent amount and soon moving to N9. We only support Nexus devices because they all share same ui/ app selection. Makes documentation and technical support much simpler.

Chairshot215 · Mar 15, 2015

Added updates to version 3.4.42 for both 5.1.0 and under. The 5.0.2 zip should work for all stock and AOSP Roms from 5.0 - 5.0.2. Because of changes in 5.1.0 boot.img 5.1.0 will not boot when used with a lower Android Version.

Slightly disappointed as today had planned on posting full Starship Rom but now updating for 5.1.0 so maybe another week maybe two

Chairshot215 · Mar 30, 2015

3.30.2015 update
Linux version has been updated to version 3.4.55

4.6.2015 update

Not much on the AOSP/Stock side. Wanted to post a cm12 update so decided to post the AOSP/Stock kernel earlier than I would normally with a few Linux version update patches. Will usually update either every 5 increment version updates or will target an area IO or the scheduler and spend a night searching github looking for improvements in those areas. With that said updating the Kernel only takes a minute or so and not like asking to flash a new Rom. Kernels are easy and these days faster to flash than g-apps. Also used the 5.1.0_r3 source to compile the boot image for 5.1 instead of 5.1.0_r1 source I had been using. Honestly though did not check if anything changed that is packed into the boot.img along with the Kernel so may or may not make any difference what so ever..

Chairshot215 · Apr 23, 2015

Have updated both Stock / AOSP and cm-12.1 Kernels up to Linux 3.4.65 with a few other additions and weeding. Has and been running pretty sweet on both so far.

Chairshot215 · Jun 2, 2015

Well have posted new versions of 12.1 and Stock 3.4.80 Kernels. Sorry about battery shrinkage on that last 3.4.78 version. Had wanted to add Elementalx Governor but required a few other changes that made it that if you used Elementalx or not battery drain was too much. After reaching a point that I only require to charge once a day in the morning before leaving for work after a day or so after weekend ended noticed my battery had been dead before alarm would go off. Previously at that point would have 30 or 40% and would wake up put on charge, jump in shower and unplug before leaving for the joby job.

Anyhow reverted Elementalx Governor and all the crap that had gone along with it and back to my routine now for a few days. Hard to tellz during weekend but putting to the test during work days mos definitely back with some improvement. Added a quick wakeup driver so the phone doesn’t fully wake immediately so if you just turn it on to perform a quick task or check something out quick like it will fallz back into sleep mode more quickly.

See what happens when I go against my own policy, from now on the only way ill sacrifice giving up that much power my n5 best have an "OK Google" Transform command and the thing turns into a modern day shockwave with transforming sim card that pops out and turns into a flying bird or earthquake causing bastard robot.
