[RELEASE] ShinTo Kernel “NewBorn” L09A05 for LP
!!!PLEASE READ AS CHANGES ARE EXTENSIVE!!!
More information of the origins of ShinTo Kernel can be found in previous version posts.
How to install ShinTo Kernel?
- First CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR ROM (in case something awful happens and you need to restore)!
- Did you create the backup in recovery?
- Go to recovery mode (Power off phone / Once powered off, press PWR + HOME + UP VOL).
- Once inside recovery (tested with TWRP 2.8.5.0) you select install and choose the .ZIP that you have previously downloaded from here.
- Once installed, reboot into normal mode and wait for the phone to come up.
One thing you will notice right out of the bat is that the led starts to blink in different colors and brightness; that’s ShadowLED working for ya 😉
How to UNinstall ShinTo Kernel?
- Flash any other kernel you would like on top of ShinTo Kernel.
ShinTo kernel uses it’s own unique and private “init.d” so from this version on, it won’t touch /system/etc/init.d anymore.
All options can be enabled/disabled in Synapse and the settings survive a flash, reflash & even a format, backup, restore, etc…
Alternatively you can recover the backup of your rom if you messed something up.
How to go from EXT4 to F2FS & vice versa?
ShinTo Kernel includes a new and much improved clever code at bootup that takes care of a couple of things for you, so you can test F2FS in any combination you see fit, and even go back to EXT4 if you don’t like F2FS without loosing any data but you have to follow some logical steps detailed here by the great Megaflop666:
- Update TWRP to the latest and greatest (2.8.5.0 at the time of this writing), you can download it from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2“
- Drop to TWRP and flash the latest Shinto Kernel
- Reboot and let the phone fully boot up and settle down, give it 15 minutes
- Open Synapse and make sure all settings are stock, if it tells you that your previous settings cannot be used, click “Understood“, and then click the apply check mark at the top.
- Go into ES File Explorer or something of your choice and get ALL USER DATA THAT YOU WISH TO KEEP off of the internal SD card.
- IF YOU MISSED IT BY NOT READING #5, YOU WILL LOSE ALL PERSONAL DATA ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE BY DOING THIS (as TWRP doesn’t back that part up)!
- Drop to TWRP and run a FULL NANDROID BACKUP to your External SD Card.
- Go to SETTINGS and unselect (un tick) “use rm -rf instead of formatting” (We want TWRP to actually format with f2fs)
- Go to Wipe and Choose Advanced Wipe
- Select System and choose change or repair file system
- Choose f2fs and go through the steps where it tells you that all data will be lost and apply it.
- Follow steps 9-11 for Data and Cache one at a time.
- Go to SETTINGS and select (tick) “use rm -rf instead of formatting” (We don’t want TWRP to restore back to EXT4)
- Do a restore, but ONLY CHECK SYSTEM & DATA for restoral, NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED.
- It will tell you that your backup was made with ext4 and may not boot, don’t worry it will boot.
- After restore, reboot your device. First boot will take a few because it’s a new file system and your apps will have to reconfigure themselves, etc.
You can see what partitions are in what format if you go to the i/o VM tab in Synapse.
On what models does ShinTo Kernel work?
For the time being, it has been confirmed to run very fast & stable on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (international SnapDragon) and on N900T (TMO T-Mobile USA), on any Samsung LOLLIPOP 5.0.x TouchWiz rom.
It is only meant to work on Samsung TouchWiz roms, for now… 😉
Great Carlos..thanks for make my S6 port flying…and long battery performance 🙂
You’re welcome! There will be a lot of radical..stuff coming, this is just a bug fix release
care to share?
u amaze me with every build bro. Excellence once again 🙂
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
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
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
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
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
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 🙂
Missed out the log, my bad. I’ll try again later and send the log if I experience any issue. Thanks
That would be great, thank you!
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.
N9005 core no going offline. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9bu1bkzpvhyknw2/Screenshot_2015-08-01-10-34-20.png?dl=0
Everything fine sorry
No problem, glad it’s sorted out.
where is the download link ???????
Look closely in page 4 and you will find it….
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.

PrecoGov. After working a while one core stops working and stays three cores.
PrecoGov sometimes he begins to work on one, two or three cores. I do not know why.

Read the post about PrecoGOV and you might understand why…
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
Well that is the maximum your wireless receiver can deliver…
I apologize for the pointless reviews. I understand design and test it. Thanks.
I read everything and thanks for the work and time. I apologize for the inappropriate posts.
hi. my eset smart security detect this kernel as malicious file …
Yes it will wipe your entire life …
Well I give up on waiting for KK and I won’t be a torn in your side anymore thanks for everything
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
Thank you for your kind words!
Expect a new release of ShinTo Kernel in the coming days 😉
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
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)
Ive noticed with this kernal version when playing a game the processor doesnt kick up as high as whatbit seems like it needs to.
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 🙂
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
Hi and Sorry for the trouble again. So I went to the download page and it says that the kernel is N9005 (European). I have the same code model (N9005) but mine is South African based. Will that clash with the system or nah?
You’re good, if you have an N9005 you should download the N9005 one.
BTW, DOWNLAOD THE MOST RECENT ONE!
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!
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.
Thank you for letting me know.
