DISCLAIMER
Although I have been running this version of the kernel for about two weeks now as my daily driver, and I test everything in real life, I take no responsibility if the phone has an issue, scares your cat, drops the job interview call of your life or makes you fight with your neighbor 😉
DOWNLOAD
Please don’t direct link the zip file.
If you would like to include ShinTo Kernel in your rom, you’re more than welcome; just give everyone credit and include PreCog.me as the site for ShinTo Kernel.
I really hope you enjoy ShinTo Kernel (as I have been), and I would advise you to subscribe to PreCog.me for more goodies to come (specialized software, articles, diy, news, etc) 😉

CHANGELOG
- Check previous sections “fixes / performance enhancements …”
- A lot more stuff that I forgot :p
KNOWN ISSUES
SUPPORT
- Absolutely NO kind of support will be given here or at XDA if you happen to have any issue while you are Overclocked or Undervolted.
- If you encounter an issue then you will have to reset to stock manufacturer sanctioned settings (300 Mhz to 2.230 Mhz & stock voltages) and reproduce the issue.
- Once you reproduce the issue with stock settings, I advise you to download “Syslog” from playstore HERE and send us a complete logset with the description of your issue, the Note3 model, rom name & version.
Won’t mount /system on F2FS volume. Tried that twice. Went back to 002 version and all works well.
Yes, there seems to be an issue with that.
Am recovering nandroid and retesting again with logs to see what is going on.
Thx for reporting and apologies for the inconvenience.
ALL OUTSTANDING ISSUES HAVE BEEN FIXED.
I had an issue with Synapse, I have the message : No UCI support detected, with previous version of kernel no prob.
All those having issues with Synapse, try the following and report back:
1) Go to your SUPERSU app, locate Synapse, tap on it and hit forget.
2) KILL Synapse.
3) Launch Synapse again, SuperSU popup will appear, grant ROOT permission to Synapse.
4) Check to see if it works or not.
5) Report back.
Thank you.
If that fails please try this and report back :
Goto settings/General/Application Manager/Synapse ->”FORCE STOP” & then “CLEAR DATA”.
Hello, did someone have some issue with GPS Fix? I can’t find any GPS using Sygic under Shintô but no problem with stock kernel, so maybe it’s hazard but if someone else have this issue maybe it could be kernel relative ? Can’t be sure on my own.
Weird… I haven’t used the GPS in about 4 days.
Launched just now “GPS Status” and it took about 10 seconds to have a lock with about 12/21 sats…?
Can you try with “GPS Status”, leave it for a few seconds and check if there’s activity and how many satellites it thinks it can see.?
Please report back.
Thank you.
That’s very weird, I tried GPS Status and no problem I had 14/20 sats but no GPS fix on Sygic and Maps, will try again and will get you feedback.
Wow… hummmm.
Well at least we know that GPS IS working but there’s an issue with these two apps trying to access the gps service.
I don’t have Sygic to test but with latest available google maps i got a fix on my position in about 10 seconds…
GPS Status has an option to show on status bar when the gps is being accessed. Please activate that and also make sure that in gps settings you have granted permission to google maps to use the gps.
Let me know how it goes please.
PS: One last thing to try is the following:
Goto settings/General/Application Manager/Maps ->”FORCE STOP” & then “CLEAR DATA”.
Maps should redownload data and settings, so make sure you have wifi just in case.
If all outstanding issues has been fixed, does it mean I should re-download 003 version (fixed one?) or just wait for 004?
Well, up to you, but if you want to avail of the fixes then yes.
Still fixing some minor stuff, soI would advise to wait a few hours for the new version to be installed.
Re-downloaded 003v824 and it happily works on F2FS. For that, thank you 🙂 Now, you mentioned that using precog governor is best with disabled Boosts – should I just disable them in Synapse or any additional action is required?
Also, is there any performance advantage in having /cache as F2FS and which recovery allows it to be formatted as such?
Forgetting SuperSU permission for Synapse fixed “no UHCI support” error.
Glad to hear that.
Well… Cache gets seldomly written to as a matter of fact with TW rom… Just when doing some OTA. So not the hassle to format it.
Change settings in Synapse for PrecoGov. Next version I will try to automate that so you won’t have to bother with it.
I am recoding my stuff to make sure it runs on any rom even if they are in bad shape or don’t have busybox properly installed, etc so expect a new build soon.
No more problem with GPS, sorry for inconvenience 🙂
What was the issue and what did you do to fix it?
Thank you for your time and for reporting it.
The problem was only with GPS navigation apps, I reinstalled stock kernel, try sygic, it worked, reinstall shintô and that was fixed :-), maybe a problem with GPS localization.
I have three interesting futures to ask for 🙂 One would be to disable the “after 10 minutes fallback to usb 2.0 from usb 3.0 connection” and another would be to set defult connection mode as usb 3.0 instead of usb 2.0 if the user so chooses. Both would be very welcome for both faster data transfer and DriveDroid. The last would be fiddling with 5 minutes recording limit for 4K videos (it is not a limitation of write speed for internal memory), is that some kind of limit for cpu throttling and resulting frame dropping?
The 4k video thing could very well be a space issue.
See, exFat, and Fat32 (which is essentially what our internal storage is reported as) has a file size limitation of 4.xG, so if a 4k video comes close to or exceeds that, you wont get more than the 5 minutes.
I know 1080 video is huge when I shoot it, so I image 4k would be even bigger
I’m sure there’s more to it for that 4k video limit thing. Maybe I’ll have a look some day to trace the logical flow driver->software…
You rock dude!
My beast hasn’t felt this snappy!
I’m back on a true Note3 Rom now, and all I can say is WOW
I fling, no stutter! 😀
I’m happy it is working for you that good 🙂
I’ll soon publish a new version that irons out all other little issues.
On my N9005 everything works well until second speaker is enabled. Then everything slows down, and music apps stops working. I’m on X-Note 21 ROM with Lean kernel. Any ideas why?
Thank’s!
Well if you are on xnote and lean kernel and have this issue then go ask them.
You right, I’m sorry 🙁
I would really like to use this kernel and all of the features that it has.
Could you recommend which ROM to use?
Thank’s!
could you possibly look into “bioshock” gov whenever you have the chance 🙂
thanks for your work
Will have a look, thank you.
I try convert to F2FS but got a problem.
Restore System partition always get failed at the end.
I see the system partition size decrease 200mb after convert to f2fs and don’t have enough space to restore.
I’m using S5 ROM port.
Anyway, thanks for good kernel.
It’s already been covered and discussed.
F2FS needs around 200mb of free space to do its thing.
Once you free that minimum space you will be able to restore just fine.
You welcome!
Tried a few ROM’s with no luck. Phone doesn’t boot after installing kernel. Can the problem be with NJ2 bootloader or modem? Thank’s!
Re-download ShinTo Kernel from here and try again.
Everything works now 😀 Looks like first download was corrupted or something like that. Thank you for your help and for this fine kernel.

Wait for the upcoming new version of ShinTo Kernel and clean all scripts in init.d
