[RELEASE] ShinTo Kernel “Nessa” L09A09 for 5.x.x
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? : Not anymore, if you need any other governor install any of the other great kernels out there.
- 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. IT IS STILL UNDER HEAVY RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT!
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? : I’m still including Synapse for the stuff that can’t be set/controlled with Kernel Aduitor.
- 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.
Since L09A06 Intelli-Hotplug is not available.
[ 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.
–== DriveDroid ==–
“DriveDroid 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!!!

Thank you @CEKMTL been looking forward to a new release.
You’re welcome!
Nice bro. Can’t wait to get my flash on 😉
Hey Kev!
Let me know how it goes for you 😉
Rocked it or a couple weeks before I blew my note up LOL
Awesome as always!
Thank you! You are the best.
You welcome!
(I really hope everyone reads the disclaimer in blue that is in page 1…)
Thank you for this release, can’t wait to try it out!
thank you man for the best kerenl good battrey so far
Great. Thank You!
Hey mate great to read that developing for the N3 continues. Thanks, can’t try it running new device Edge + most say it’s pretty boring on this. Not much development with this phone
Hey Silitek, the!
Well development never stopped (I’m currently on L10A04) but after so many people were asking me for L09A09 in private…
Really? Not much development? Cos device is rock solid or because not many people have it?
my friend,please come on note4 f.. 🙁
Would love to but right now don’t have the time nor hardware…sorry 🙁
Both the 9005 and 900T versions seem to run flawlessly, as expected. It might be an “old” version to you but it’s still light years ahead of any other N3 kernel out there. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Mike!
Thank you for such kind words and continued support 🙂
Yep it is an old version…2.5 months is a lifetime in dev cycle 😉
It these 2.5 months I was really able to go wild with my experiments…and get some very interesting results 😀
Wild? You mean wildER, right?
Until you share it, it doesn’t exist! 😉
Hahaha a yes extremely wild and… Don’t worry you’re on the list 😉
Can we ask for kcal suporte please…congrats for amazing kernel

“Removed a lot of stuff from Synapse and left the ones that can’t be controlled with Kernel Aduitor.” I thought this is hilarious. 😛 Thanks for the excellent release once again…
yeah I know hahahaha
How exactly did you learn how to do all this?
This just blows my mind. LEL I’m kinda new to this whole world of custom ROMs and such.
This is amazing however. I truly wish I knew what you did and how you did it.
Very inspiring =)
As a child, CEK was sent to a special school for Young Wizards where he was taught how to unleash his magic powers. Now that he’s almost all grown up, we can rely on him to protect us against the evil Stock Kernels! 😉
Hahaha xD! Thee that must not be installed!
Hey Mike!
I’m still a child hahahahaha xD
Got a bunch of breakthroughs in the last couple of weeks and the results are…great!
Thank you 🙂
Hi CekMTL, well done.. really want to try your new release for both 5.0 and 5.1.1 N% port but I can’t seem to get them installed successfully. I’m stuck at Samsung Logo. But whne I install another kernel in order to get boot I see that Synapse and the other app is installed. I’m using dual boot app from xda, I dont know if you are familiar with it but here is the link.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
Is your kernel compatible with the app, or I’m missing anything..Any help is much appreciated
Hello. This kernel has always been awesome. I wonder, does it work on a note 5 port?
Yes, and it’s the best thing you can do for a N5 port running 5.0-5.11! My daily driver runs a 5.1.1 N5 port with the latest ShinTo overclocked to 2.8GHz and I love it! 😉
Sounds great. I’ve always liked this kernel but it seems to bootloop when I flashed it on Phronesis rom v.5.2. Hm…
I haven’t looked at Phronesis in ages, but since it’s based on the common darkera13 port it should be fine. Make sure that you use the correct file and that the kernel flashes properly (try Flashify), and keep in mind that without a bootlog it would be very difficult for anyone to help you. This is NOT a support area, but check on XDA for details on how to grab a bootlog.
I have installed this kernel on phronesis v5.1 & it’s awesome. Very good battery life. What I want to know is that is it safe for the hardware and the phone as a whole to increase the wireless charging power. Currently it’s quite slow compared to normal wired charging.
I never use “wired” charging and never had problems with Synapse’s “Enabled_FastCharge” whether using a traditional QI pad or one of the new QI 2.0 (“fast charge”) ones. Remember that a lot depends on how much power is actually sent to your phone (USB charger, AC adapter, etc.). In practice, most N3 receivers can only produce a safe 1A at the very most. Use Ampere or a similar app to monitor the charging current if you’re worried. No promises, no guarantees, life is a gamble! 😉
Yep, exactly what Mike said, word by word 😉
Unfortunately Nessa gives me dozens FC’s per minute. McFly has been running well, except screen-off note and video-camera problems. Any idea, why Nessa causes those FCs? I have 9005 Intl. Thanks!
You do know that CEK is *NOT* providing support, right? In any case, it would be difficult for anyone to help you from the limited information provided (which Nessa version, which ROM, which file systems, which apps, etc.). Clearing the ART/Dalvik cache can often do wonders, but there’s a good chance that you could solve your problem by looking at your logs where the clues usually are…
The link is not working Bro. And when I flashed your kernal before, I found my sensor ‘s not working while I’m making a call. That screen-off thing is not working while holding my phone near my ear. Why?
All 4 links for Nessa are working just fine. Maybe your ear is too small for the proximity sensor? Seriously, this is not a support area and even if it were nobody could help you since you provide no details at all. See my reply to Rex above. If you can’t figure out your trouble, maybe it’d be best to switch to another kernel?
lag in game..
Hello CekMTL,this kernel in the best ever!:),where i find new release kernel ?
Soon once the forum is up and running.
Thank you! 🙂
Man, u are a genius! This last version is awesome! I Tested in hltecan model. Thank you!
Thank you! Although I have to stress that this is an old old version… More is coming in a big way ☺️
Hi bro any support in future for mm roms on note 3??
For now there’s a private build of ShinTo Kernel for MM 6.0.1 roms.
I’m thinking of releasing a public build of ShinTo Kernel in the near future.
Whoa, would be awesome to see this kernel running with a mm6.0.1 s7edge ported from, on my T-Mobile note 3. Hope this really happens. (The public mm kernel) thanks for all you’ve ever done for us.
Thank you for your kind words!
Well… “impossible is nothing” 😉
Thanks for all the hard work on this kernel. I read a raving review about it on Android Authority (http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/the-kernel-center-all-you-need-to-know-about-kernel-components-personal-experience-and-comparisons.16538/).
I have a Note5 running on Marshmallows on which I have installed the Skyhigh kernel. However, further support on this has stopped.
Will Shinto kernel work on my device (Note5 on MM)?
Thanks
Hi & thank you for dropping by and trying ShinTo Kernel.
I’m currently working hard on getting ShinTo Kernel ported over to many different phones but it will take some time (and a lot of hard work).
This version of ShinTo Kernel that you see here is only for Note3 so I’m afraid it won’t work on the Note5 but do subscribe here (or Twitter) so you can get notified of the upcoming devices that will feature ShinTo Kernel.
Will there ever be a version of this for Sprint n900p? I can’t find any kernel that is stable and doesn’t kill my battery
Not ATM but… never say never….
Doh, I just asked this too, heh.
I’ll keep watching….good work!
I don’t suppose there’s any chance of a Sprint SMN900P version coming?
Sir any support for mm ports??plzz reply soon and if yes is there any beta version of that??
mate..my research is over..i spend countless hours on note 4-s6 edge plus and now on nexus 6p but the shadow led never work…
so im thinking very seriously to roll back on note 3…(i know its crazy)
so,i want ask you if the shadow led works on your 5x kernel and second question if you will build some 6x kernel
Delayed response, I know, but shadow LED works fine on my N3 running an LP 5.1.1 TW ROM and one of CEK’s magical ShinTo kernels. However, since there are so many variables, a better test would be for you to try it with your N3, your ROM, and your settings.
Please MM kernel.
Hey CeKMTL!
Long time no hear 😉 Hope things are well…
Mate, can you email me outside of this? I have a couple questions regarding the kernel…
Hey Kev good to hear from ya! 🙂
Yeah doing great & working hard trying to go “pro” 😉
I gave my first presentation over at DoridCon Madrid about two week ago. Talked about the inner working of the Linux Kernel from Android’s point of view & about some of my work.
There were like 200+ ppl over at the presentation and they seemed to love it lol xDDDD
How about you? what you up to?
Take care!
Awesome mate! What an honor that must’ve been! 😀 😀
Workin hard…. finally got some time (albeit still very little time tho lol)
Workin on getting a kernel compiled (still rockin the note 3 lol), and going great. I actually had a question for ya, but I completely forgot what it was lmfao!
Glad to hear things are well mate!
And of course now I remember right? lol
It was a question with ShadowLED, and hoping you would know the new values for MM
Seems blue is the new internal storage, red is still external, and green has fallen off the phone 😉
Thanks mate!
No available kernel for 6.0.1 soon?
Hi. Reading some comments seems this kernel is still alive for 5.0 Lollipop. Is it right? If yes, it’s so good to hear!
I cannot wait till the day you’ll release a new version!
Svp kernel shinto for mm 6.0.1
I’ll be releasing ShinTo for 6.0.1 soon.
