[Kernel][JB 4.3][Experimental]Latest CM/KT Kernel
Experimental 4.3 Kernel based on AOSP 4.2.2 Branch (cm-10.1)
KT Kernel by
ktoonsez
CM Kernel from
Latest CM-10.1 Nightly
Since there are no sources for 4.3 kernels yet I decided to try out which kernels actually do work on 4.3
I found that the i9505 (jfltexx) CM 10.1 kernel works combined with the ramdisk of the 4.3 stock kernel
It does boot and everything seems to be working. except there are some graphical issues. and the scores vary way to much.
Since its a i9505 kernel and not i9505g it scores around the 20k in antutu. (or atleast I think that is the case)
I tested a kernel with the i9505g source and it boots for 50%, the blue led goes on after the i9505 logo but you only get black screen. meaning that touchwiz based kernels are not supported. only aosp kernels are supported
To test different aosp branches I also chose to make a 4.3 build of KT Kernel (3.4.51) so you can see if there are any differences in that.
Both have the graphical issue but maybe the battery life is much better with one of them instead of the 4.3 kernel. I haven't tested them thoroughly though. Check attachments for downloads.
Final Conclusion
- TW Kernels do not work anymore
- AOSP 4.2.2 Kernels work (partially) with appropriate ramdisk
- Small graphical issues occur
- Battery Life is unknown so far
How to convert 4.2.2 ramdisk to 4.3 ramdisk
1. Extract
dsixda's android kitchen on your harddrive
2. Create a folder called WORKING_FOLDER, in that folder place the 4.2.2 kernel that you want to convert.
3. Open the kitchen (./menu) and enter: 0, 12, w (this will extract the kernel)
4. Now look in BOOT-EXTRACTED, and replace (remove folder) the boot.img-ramdisk folder with the one attached to this post
5. In the kitchen enter: b, to build the 4.2.2 kernel with the 4.3 ramdisk.
Flashing the kernel
1. Go to the WORKING_DIRECTORY and open a terminal
2. Enter: adb push boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
3. Enter: adb -d shell su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20'
4. Enter: adb reboot
