Dorimanx kernel - Dummies Guide

Dorimanx kernels 8.33 & 9.33 are up! :)

Dorimanx 8.X is for stock, Samsung based, JB ROM's

Dorimanx 9.x is for CM/AOKP JB ROM's


"Change Log:

*I have ported massive update to MMC code from 3.10.RC5 Google Android
It's responsible for SDCARDS and IDLE sleep, battery improved in deep sleep.
drain is very low, and wakeup is fast.
*Ported many ARM code for android from 3.10.RC5
*Alucard created new CPU GOV, DARKNESS! it's based on nightmare but more simple and fast, basic configs but very complex structure.
*Alucard updated nightmare gov and improved stability, so far was stable in tests.
*I have Reverted to Linaro 2013.05 GCC 4.7.4 as it's made for JB android, and GCC 4.8.1 is not optimized as should, so more stability now.
*Patched with 3.0.83 Main stream patch.
*Ported good update to ZZMOOVE CPU GOV.
*Ported all new updates from CM-KERNEL.
*Ported many code updates to FS/SYSTEM/TIME/TICK/KERNEL from 3.10.y main stream and 3.10.RC5 Google Android tree.
*Alucard fixed Cortex Logic and added new GOV options in STweaks.
*Pulled updates from SAMMY SG3 Source tree.
*Optimized WIFI config.
*Voku ported good updates to RAM/SYNC/BOARD
*Cleaned Junk logs in dmesg every 2sec. less noise more battery saved
*Allowed to use MIN voltage 800mv for GPU and CPU, but for MANY users it's will lead to SOD right away or in minutes.
but for some LUCKY users, it's can be stable. but UV is not supported so use, get stuck and dont report
*Tuned LowMemKill code to be more aggressive in case there is no RAM left. + tuned kernel RAM tuning.
*Merged code to allow to use our device as external CDROM, using special app that mount ISO IMAGE as USB drive and we can boot other PC/SERVERS with it,
but need to disable the USB AUTO MOUNT in STweaks to be able to use that APP, this is for people that need it,
and know what to do with it, in other words for IT PRO tech/engineers.

Dorimanx kernels 8.34 & 9.34 are up! :)

Dorimanx 8.X is for stock, Samsung based, JB ROM's

Dorimanx 9.x is for CM/AOKP JB ROM's


"Change Log:

*Updated WIFI driver from SG4 kernel. v1.61.56
*Updated massive code for DM partitions (move apps to sdcard)
*Updated massive code for Power Manager from 3.10.rc5 google android
*Updated massive code for BLOCK and FS that responsible for all I/O throughput!
*Updated and enabled latest and most advanced I/O GOV - BFQ v6r2!
*Alucard made big code change/improve for nightmare and darkness govs.
*Updated ARM compressions code.
*Updated LINARO 2013.06 GCC 4.7.4 kernel builder.
*Updated with 3.0.84 main stream patch.
*Fixed old bugs with video drivers for STOCK and CM/AOKP ROMS!
*for CM/AOKP only! i have fixed the mass storage and MTP, now we have CM-kernel code for that.
for 8.34 kernel, that part can't be changed, or stock ROM will loose mass storage support.
*Updated latest CM-KERNEL boot INIT and other new init changes.
*Ported some stock code updates from SG4 kernel.
*Alucard fixed performance gov! now if used, 2 cores will be ON non stop.
*Fixed Color tuning on boot and for first ROM boot default.
*Alucard cleaned Pegasusq CPU GOV, now it's much better, and working with our Intelihotplug code.
*Updated all I/O GOVS and set BFQ as default I/O gov for awake/sleep.
*Updated kernel global code from 3.10.rc5 for ptrace function.
*Updated power regulator code.
*disabled slide2wake in all profiles.
*Alucard made changes in GOVS tunings and all profiles tuning.
*Added data/cache partition light fix on boot, in case partition was not unmounted cleanly.


This kernel has huge update for all critical functions!
and power that now saved is just awesome! with performance profile i see -9ma/h on deep sleep! and sleep time is much higher. (less wake-ups)

kernel is very stable.
I recommend to set nightmare as main awake gov! about sleep gov, you can leave ondemand or other that you like.

Dorimanx kernels 8.35 & 9.35 are up! :)

Dorimanx 8.X is for stock, Samsung based, JB ROM's

Dorimanx 9.x is for CM/AOKP JB ROM's


"Change Log:

*All I/O Govs updated with updates from 3.11.Y kernel.
*Alucard updated Nightmare, Darkness, Zzmoove CPU govs with very good updates! + STweaks changes and profiles tuning.
*I have updated BFQ I/O gov to max! from it's source (v6r2 3.10.y)
*Tuned WIFI driver and sync with SG4 kernel code.
*Ported HUGE amount of code for SYSTEM/BLOCK/OOM/RAM/ARM/CRYPTO/CORE/CPU/POWER/BASE/TIME/TICK-SCHED/SIGNALING/MODULE/RCU/MUTEX and MORE.
*Fixed vibrate step range from 10 to 5
*Fixed Stweaks XML, now no resets.
*Updated SuperSU to 1.41
*Updated with 3.0.85/86 main stream updates.
*Fixed Stuck kernel with building dalvik-cache on heavy ROM update (many installed apps!)
*Small updates to BT driver.
*Removed some useless code that used with LINUX but not with Android.
*Added DM CACHE system that will help run and install faster apps that moved to SDCARD
*I have set ROW/BFQ in profiles, and set nightmare gov as default.
*With Darkness GOV we can now limit the amount of CPU freq steps,
see STweaks GOV config tabs.

Kernel is fast and battery friendly, very smart and stable.

if some people have problem with WIFI not scanning and finding networks.
then use STOCK kernel, your hardware is not compatible with this kernel.
NOTHING, i can do for you. sorry.

I'm still spoiling you lot! ;)
 
Dorimanx kernels 8.39 & 9.39 are up! :)

Dorimanx 8.X is for stock, Samsung based, JB ROM's

Dorimanx 9.x is for CM/AOKP JB ROM's

Just to be sure before I go and do something silly; if I'm running XWMS3 NeatROM Lite v5.6 Aroma (4.1.2) or XWMS3 NeatROM Lite v5.7 Aroma (4.1.2) then I'm running a Stock, Samsung based, JB ROM; right?

Which means I could flash the 8.x Dorimanx kernal OR the Siyah v6.0beta5 kernal without any problems; right?

I really liked having STweaks when I first rooted but it isn't supported by the kernal that comes with NeatROM so I'm looking for a kernal that does support it.

Sale recommended Apolo and it's matching config. app but I like Avast so I'll have to go a different route if I want to keep that.

Is Dorimanx still being supported?

{I know a lot of this info is probably out there somewhere but there's a limit to how many threads I can wade through before it's time to go back to work again!}
