[RELEASE] ShinTo Kernel “NewBorn” L09A05 for LP

Frequently Asked Questions

  • PrecoGOV : Once you enable PrecoGOV governor, the only thing you have to do is kick back and enjoy the ride as it will become the sole captain of your starship, managing everything to give you the best user experience possible.
    You don’t need to turn off/on anything.
  • Can I run ShinTo Kernel without PrecoGOV? : Yes for now you can but the experience won’t be as good…why would you do that? 😉
  • What does PrecoGOV do? : PrecoGOV manages your cores, their frequency, their temperature, their deep sleep, takes care of helping the GPU and even squeezing the best battery life possible all while giving you the best user experience.
    To know more please check this article -> Why Create PrecoGOV
  • What settings can I tweak? : There are NO settings to tweak with PrecoGOV; that’s the whole point! PrecoGOV is constantly self adapting to the way you use your phone, anticipating your moves and giving you the exact amount of power just when you’re about to need it.
  • What tweak program to use? : The included Synapse has everything you need and more to manage all the settings. Other tweak programs should work but keep in mind there are some specific ShinTo Kernel settings that they can’t manage.
  • Where’s that “PrecoGOV”? : My apologies, PrecoGOV is the “Precognition Governor”.
    In my day to day I tend to call it PrecoGOV as it is shorter and catchier 😉
  • After selecting PrecoGOV, do I have to enable Intelli-Hotplug? : NO. PrecoGOV takes care of everything including managing the hotplugging process.

[ Enhancements included in ShinTo Kernel ]

–== ShadowLED ==–

By linking the Note 3’s RGB LED to the different activities of the OS, we can know in real time what is going on, even when the screen is off, and the phone is seemingly “deep sleeping”.The brightness of the led light is proportional to the instant workload; the brighter the color, the higher the workload.

BLUE:    All things related to WIFI networking activity [Upload/Download].
GREEN: All things related to internal “SD” (MMC0) activity [Read/Write].
RED:     All things related to external “SD” (MMC1) activity [Read/Write].

You can disable ShadowLED if you go to ShinTo Features in Synapse app.

 –== UKSM ==– 

UKSM by KernelDedupe.org is a state of the art intelligent memory management system that achieves great ram saves by using two techniques:

(1) ZeroPages

When we launch an app, most of the time the app will allocate more (or a lot more) memory than it really needs. The extra memory is allocated exclusively, zeroed and sits idle till the app decides to use it.
That could happen sometime in the future or never…

ShinTo’s UKSM kernel service detects these kind of “ZeroPages” and intelligently remaps them to the ZeroPage manager and then frees those pages of ram.
Once the process really asks for these “ZeroPages”, the ZeroPage manager takes care of everything.
All this is transparent to the normal user’s workflow and it doesn’t affect performance or battery life.

As a matter of fact it might enhance battery life and performance as a lot more can fit in ram so there’s less wasted time and energy fetching data from SD (MMC0).
That should also help with multitasking fluidity.

My daily workflow can see up to 400Mb of ZeroPages, which means about 400Mb of ram saved and allocated to running processes that need them.

(2) SamePageMerge

There are some processes that create many copies of the same memory contents (same pages).
Some of these (same page) content’s never change so it is a waste of memory.
One clear example could be a web browser.

ShinTo’s SamePageMerge manager detects these identical pages and “merges” them, so they only occupy one page instead of many.
If a process needs to change the contents of one of these “identical” pages, the SamePageMerge manager detects that and takes care of everything.
All this is transparent and seamless, with no performance or battery penalty.

I routinely hit about 50.000 pages (around 200Mb saved) (50.000 * 4k) and have hit about 90.000 pages with heavy loads.

To disable UKSM you need to issue the following command with root :
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run

–== DriveDroid ==–

DriveDroidDriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go… without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives.

ShinTo Kernel includes the necessary patch and functionality to be able to switch from CD to USB mode, so you could create rescue USB keys directly on the mounted image in DriveDroid.
For people that are in the tech support and have to reinstall different operating systems or boot recovery cds, it is a godsend as they don’t need to have different usb keys, cd, dvd, etc…

It’s a great tool and I recommend everyone to check it!!!

  –== Fix / Performance Enhancement / NEW STUFF ==–

This new release of ShinTo Kernel includes the following :

  • More stability bugs hopefully squashed.
  • Some ppl have not had a single issue with ShinTo Kernel while others have issues… There’s a big combination of ROMs + personalized configurations + tweaks + scripts + programs + some ppl don’t read instructions so not that easy to keep everyone happy…

It is compiled with latest available LINARO Toolchain GCC 4.9.3 compiled by the great Christopher83

    Great Carlos..thanks for make my S6 port flying…and long battery performance 🙂

  2. kevp75 says:

    u amaze me with every build bro. Excellence once again 🙂

  3. giannos says:

    Dear Carlos can you please tell me how to download your kernel I hearing so amazing thinks about you L09A05 and I wondering if I can try it

    • CeKMTL says:

      Look closely at page four of this post and click on the link of your model. If everything goes well your browser should be able to download the Zip file.
      Have a backup ready and Thank you for trying ShinTo Kernel

  4. giannos says:

    Dear Carlos thank you very much for your reply I try you kernel and it’s really awesome it’s make my note 3 flying it’s the best kernel out there

    • CeKMTL says:

      Thank you for such kind words but ShinTo Kernel is still considered beta so it’s not yet 100% where I want it to be but soon we will get there

  5. JamesFN says:

    Hey I’ve been using aryamod v6 right now (with latest baseband and modem). I was using this kernel and I really really like it, personally best battery and performance I’ve ever experienced…but my problem is I kept getting bootloop constantly when I’m using the kernel with precog gov. Is there any work around? I currently head back to stock firmware right now

    • CeKMTL says:

      Best thing would be to provide logs when you have the issues as explained in the post with th2 Syslog app, upload it somewhere and let me know.
      Thank you for trying ShinTo Kernel 🙂

  6. Hello to the developer of this shinto kernel.
    I tried to flash both the kernel for international version and the other on my n900S version
    and felt very unfortunate as it didnt booted up which means it is compatible.
    Please I kindly request to you Sir if you can build for, not only n900S, but also some more version of Note 3 with your kernel.
    In our thread in xda, particularly darklord S6 port, some of the contributors there uses your kernel and claims that it is very responsive, buttery smooth and battery friendly and made even a screenshot for synapse profiles of there settings.

    It would be highly appreciated you could do this in the future. Thank you very much.

    Everything fine sorry

  8. mohamed says:

    where is the download link ???????

  9. Pusheka says:

    Great kernel. PrecoGov retains many of the most high frequency. Working mostly at high frequency. Does this not lead to higher consumption of battery? Sorry for bad English.

  10. Pusheka says:

    PrecoGov. After working a while one core stops working and stays three cores.

  11. philpro says:

    i want to fast usb charge and increase the wireless current limit. i uncheck the safe box and set the wireless current to 1000mA. Settings remains after reboot but still only getting a 650mA charge 🙁 ….(measured with galaxy charging current app

  12. Pusheka says:

    I apologize for the pointless reviews. I understand design and test it. Thanks.

  13. Pusheka says:

    I read everything and thanks for the work and time. I apologize for the inappropriate posts.

  14. vali says:

    hi. my eset smart security detect this kernel as malicious file …

  15. kopitalk says:

    Great job, love the precognition concept and the ShadowLED is brilliant. Looking forward to further release of this kernel. Thanks for sharing! https://mega.nz/#!fg9iCAxQ!ZMLx8MVkZtdzV4zUq7lAjlJnj218gI-HelSJsrZ1JHs

  16. Peped94 says:

    Can i control this kernel using kernel adiutor ? Or is it mandatory to use synapse ? I didnt like synapse as it is sometime didnt save my setting

    • CeKMTL says:

      Synapse is needed for some specific functionality of ShinTo Kernel.
      I haven’t tested Kernel auditor myself so I don’t know the ramifications.
      I’d advise to make a nandroid backup and try Kernel auditor and see if it works OK and you don’t get any stuck processes (check for sustained 100% cpu usage)

  17. Ive noticed with this kernal version when playing a game the processor doesnt kick up as high as whatbit seems like it needs to.

  18. Hi there 🙂 so I’ve installed a Custom ROM (S6 Darklord v3) and I’m using their built in kernel but it’s quite unstable and I’ve heard so much about Shinto 😀 I wanted to ask 2 questions?
    Firstly, if I install the Shinto Kernel, will it erase all of my apps memory?
    Secondly, how would one install a kernel on its own? Sorry, I’m new to rooting and all that. I hope you don’t mind explaining 🙂

    • CeKMTL says:

      Hi and welcome to ShinTo Kernel!
      1) No it won’t erase your apps memory.
      2) You should check some tutorial at some big android forum for details but basically you have to boot into recovery mode, and install the Zip file just like you did when installing Darklord.
      Thank you for trying ShinTo Kernel and have fun

  19. Good Lord!! This thing is flying (except when I type on chrome :/) other than that it’s smooth in all other apps so far! Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

  20. Kevin says:

    Have to say, love this kernel, best battery life I have had on lollipop. Thanks for your hard work and giving this to us.
    I get better battery on this rather than your latest version.
