Here is the source on GitHub:

And a download link for the app itself: http://www.mediafire.com/file …
With the code from Ktoonsez to allow the control of the GPU voltage added to my Galaxy S4 kernel, one could now adjust the voltage of each stage of the GPU frequencies. However, until now, to the best of my knowledge, the only way to control it is to manually …
I never realized just how much goes into an app before trying to learn how to make one work! At the same time, I never realized how simple the individual pieces of the app can be.
Here is another app that I made for the course:
This android developer course is actually pretty fun! There are several hard parts, and a few "scratch my head" moments, but Rob does a great job of explaining what to do.

While building roms for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (TBLTETMO, TBLTEXX) I ran into an issue where the recents button was not working. So, I pulled a logcat, and here is what I saw:
KeyEvent { action=ACTION_UP, keyCode=KEYCODE_UNKNOWN, scanCode=254, metaState=0, flags=0x208, repeatCount=0, eventTime=182478, downTime …
How to add an I/O Scheduler to your kernel:
Praise God, another succesful addition to the TBLTE kernel was that of adding the FIOPS I/O scheduler to the kernel. What is an I/O scheduler? Well it is the part of the kernel that handles, or schedules, input …
For the record, I do not recommend building kernels this way, I recommend that you build them within your ROM source. This method will work, but is far more labor intensive. However, here is how to build the kernel for a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge on Ubuntu 14.04.
