[KERNEL] 2011-10-30 - x99kernel OC/UC/UV 1.2/1.8GHz smartass - Sense & CM7/AOSP

First things first...
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.
I take NO responsibility for ANYTHING that goes wrong with your phone, life, job, home, car, sex life, dog, cat, turtle, pet rock, etc. as a direct or indirect result of your use of this kernel.
Features of kernel for Sense ROMs:
Based on HTC source code - this should work on any stock-ish ROM
Features of kernel for CM7 ROMs:
Based on Toast's fork of the Cyanogenmod kernel
Common features:
BFQ I/O scheduler
Smartass governor
Undervolted (battery savings)
Overclocked - up to 1.8GHz (WHY?!? lol)
Underclocked - down to 184Mhz (battery savings)
By default, the kernel will clock up to 1.2GHz with the smartass governor. I personally just flash the kernel and run it as-is. If you want something different, use an overclock utility like "No-frills CPU Control". Be aware that some of these utilities run background processes and SUCK battery life.
Troubleshooting:
ON CM7.0.2
You will need to flash the kernel *AFTER* booting up the ROM for the first time. If you do a clean install of CM7.0.2 + the x99kernel, turning on wifi may make your phone go into a "boot loop" (restarting the shell, over and over).
If you're stuck in a boot loop, go into recovery (yank battery then vol down + power OR "adb reboot recovery"), flash the 7.0.2 file again, let it boot, make sure Wifi works, then go back into recovery and flash the x99kernel.
If anyone has further input on this, I'm all ears.
My phone is locking up!
Try a slower clock speed and/or a different governor. I have run this kernel reliably at 1.55GHz for a long time, but different phones can have different results. I have personally experienced lock-ups at high speeds with the interactive governor. Again, I have been running this kernel "as-is" without making any clock/governor changes... IMO, 1.2GHz is plenty fast for day-to-day use.
My phone is running hot and/or the battery is draining quickly!
Most likely, you're running the CPU at a HIGH speed and/or there are some over-active processes.
I suggest downloading OSMonitor from the market to see what processes are active. In the options, you can choose to sort the process list by CPU Load and also check the "Order" box to have the active processes shown at the top of the list. The "Misc" tab will show the current clock speed and phone temperature... you can also use it to change the speed or governor if you'd like.
"adb logcat" can reveal a LOT about what your phone is doing in the background.

Old, out-of-date changelog:
20110414
Step up to 2.6.32.36 from 2.6.32.33 in CM7 kernel
20110411
camera fix for bcnice20's Desire ROM in Sense kernel
20110408
Proper root in sense kernel
20110404
Added BFQ I/O scheduler
Misc compiler tweaks
Added version for CM7
20110323
Lowered voltage on 184MHz and 245MHz speeds
20110322
Re-tweaked the smartass governor (see current strategy below)
Slightly increased voltages for CPU speeds between 768MHz and 1.55GHz (may help some people with lock-ups)
Added an additional low speed... 184Mhz (power savings?)
20110321
Tweaked the smartass governor
Added the interactive governor
20110318
Added two additional clock speeds between 768MHz and 368MHz. By default, the smartass governor can't make the "jump" down from 768MHz to 368MHz, because the step is too large.
Added conservative governor (untested, but should be OK).
Current smartass strategy:
Max sleep speed is 245MHz
CPU load under 35% = step down. Can step down as much as is determined to be OK at once.
CPU load over 70% = step up. Will make steps upward of as much as 384MHz at a time.
If CPU is at 100%, jump up to at least 1.1GHz.

There *shouldn't* be any issues with 4G or GPS, since this is based on the original HTC source code. I have used it successfully over NFX's ROMs before... I think I'm running one of his now.
I have edited the orignal post to be a little more clear.

Just a heads up - the smartass governor doesn't scale below 768 mhz. I believe bcnice mentioned he had the same issue on his kernel.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

so this kernel seems to have solved my issue with loading pages in the browser locking up the phone. Nice.
Is there anyway you can add the wired tether patch so I can just use that? I'm not to keen on switching roms and having to start over.

With the smartass governor, it won't scale below 768 when the screen is on... that's for sure. (<-- NO LONGER TRUE)
If you use SetCPU, the "Info" tab will show you that the phone is happily running at 245MHz when the phone is off... and I'm not forcing it to 245MHz, either.
I actually posted in bcnice's thread about this issue, along with a solution for it. However, I do think that adding an extra step between 368Mhz and 768Mhz will help things.
EDIT: Added a couple of lower speeds, and things seem to be improved. Will post a new zip file during the day.

I don't think that's handled within the kernel... from everything I've seen, that's a patch to a file in /system/framework/

If you're talking about wired tether for root users needing ip filtering, that's on in all kernels for the shift, even stock. However, some bug or difference in framework doesn't let or phones tether on that or wireless tether on 3g, only on 4g

I'm running this over the nfx stock Rom, running smooth so far

I was running bcnice's kernel, but could only hit 1.1 max using on demand and the phone wold still hit 105 degress at times. Just installed Mik's rom and at this point am not using any kernel. Should this kernel work with this rom?

Done. Re-download the same link.

My frequency keeping ramping from 245 to 1.8 when idle, bouncing up and down on both ondemand and smartass. Flashed back to bcnice20's bfs bfq for now.. but I'd like to make this work as I love running the smartass gov. Any ideas?

It's scary!
Swap
Deadline I/o scheduler
Extreme undervolt
Overclocked & underclocked values
Sleepers disabled
Toast's new video drivers
Smartass governor
New Scary governor!
Tweaked conservative governor
and much more(All of toast's kernel)
Quirks of this kernel:
Sometimes when changing speeds with something like setcpu, they take a few seconds to actually clock to that speed, turning the screen on and off fixes it and clocks it right away though.
I would advise against using the speeds 66mhz->180mhz during real usage. It's a little laggy, but works =)
This doesn't work with sense based roms like mikshift, yes it needs to be said more than once
Why it's labeled unstable: So I don't get people poking me in the eyes with spoons if/when it freezes up. It actually works quite well, but since I heavily undervolted an undervolted kernel, it is bound to not be 100% stable(It is about 90% stable =P)
Disclaimer: What everyone else puts in kernel threads, about me not being responsible, ect.
Latest kernels
The voltages of the superUV will not work for everyone, if they don't work for you, then try the builds labeled stable
Recommended speeds 245-800mhz or 245-1ghz on scary governor && no setcpu profiles - I'll keep my current speeds in my signature.

Benchmarks! - All done at 1.8ghz on cm7
Quadrant standard 1.1.7 - 3900 is the highest I've seen so far I believe.
Smartbench(2runs) - 2150/1850 - Mine were around there
Linpack(3runs) - 61, 63, 63 - These won't change much at all.
Instructions for using swap
For a swapfile do something like this.
dd if=/dev/zero of=$Swapfile bs=1048576 count=$Size
Where $Swapfile is the location of the file you want, and $Size is the amount of mb for swap you want to use.
Then type
mkswap $Path
swapon $Path
Replacing $Path/$Size with your own values of course, so if I wanted 20mb of swap I'd execute the commands
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile bs=1048576 count=20
mkswap /sdcard/swapfile
swapon /sdcard/swapfile
Governor exlainations
Toasty makes one transition to the max speed and stays there(benchmarks only usually)
Batterysave! sits at the bottom and when the cpu load increases past the threshhold it scales up to the next speed and takes another load sample and keeps doing that(best on battery life/performance ratio)
Ondemand sits at the bottom and when the cpu load increases past the threshhold, it scales ot the max speed then takes another load sample and scales down accordingly
Powersave makes one transition to the bottom speed and stays there
Smartass(Quoted from another author http://www.ziggy471.com/2010/11/07/smartass-governor-info ) - "is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works – by taking over the idle loop – is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the “old” minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 – why?! – it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!"
Scary - A new governor I wrote based on conservative with some smartass features, it scales accordingly to conservatives laws. So it will start from the bottom, take a load sample, if it's above the upthreshold, ramp up only one speed at a time, and ramp down one at a time. It will automatically cap the off screen speeds to 245Mhz, and if your min freq is higher than 245mhz, it will reset the min to 120mhz while screen is off and restore it upon screen awakening, and still scale accordingly to conservatives laws. So it spends most of its time at lower frequencies. The goal of this is to get the best battery life with decent performance. It will give the same performance as conservative right now, it will get tweaked over time.
Governor strategies
Conservative - Upthreshold 85, downthreshold 60
Smartass - Sleep max 245760Hz, Ramp up at 384000Hz at a time, up threshold 90, downthreshold 60
Scary - Upthreshold 80, down threshold 45, sleep max 245760Hz, sleep min, 122880Hz

Frequently asked questions
Question: My phone is boot looping/not booting on the released suv, what do I do?
Answer: Your phone cannot handle the super undervolted values, you will need to flash the stable undervolted kernel or girly kernel
Question: My phone's graphics are running really lagishly, why is this happening? It worked fine on version 1.4 and before.
Answer: You are likely running an outdated version of your rom not supporting the new video drivers in version 1.5+, you will need to roll back to v1.4 and before
Question: My phone is running slow on the batterysave or scary governors, what do I do?
Answer: Set your minimum speed higher, those governors spend a lot of time at the lowest values
Question: My wifi/wifitether and other stuff is broken and wasn't before I flashed your kernel
Answer: READ THE BIG BOLD STATEMENT AT THE TOP OF THE THREAD THAT SAYS THIS IS NOT FOR SENSE
Question: How do I flash this?
Answer: You probably shouldn't be flashing a kernel labeled unstable if you don't know how
Question: I'm not getting the amazing battery life/benchmark scores that others are getting
Answer: Well, every device is different, so you may not be able to score as high as some others, but you should get close at least, and the battery completely depends on usage patterns
Question: My phone can't clock to 1.8ghz, or some of the other higher values but does fine on the lower ones
Answer: Every device is different and not all can handle the same speeds/voltages, you are probably better off staying away from the higher speeds, I enabled the speeds but hope that you all are mature enough to handle them
Locating cpu% eating applications.
When in ADB shell type the following
top |grep app
or if your rom supports it htop is much better(Without grep, so just "htop")
Then look for items with high amounts of cpu% while the phone is idle.

JoesephMother - For helping me unlock the new lower clock values && other kernel related matters =)
x99percent - I used his middle clock speeds between the 3xx->7xx values as a base(edited voltages) as well as used his smartass source.

I just got my shifty two days ago from having the heroc. It took me a full five minutes to root the sob. This kernel clocking it to 1.8ghz is sick. Good job!

Nice work again scaryghoul. Quadrant scores are very reflective of real-world performance in this case.

Awesome numbers coming off this kernel.
Quadrant = 3104
SmartBench 2011 = 2095/1887
SmartBench numbers were incredible!!!!

It was unstable for me.. 1.8 frozen my phone and it wouldn't even boot up when I tried 1.5

Stock default 245/1200.
I'll try to wipe and start fresh when I have time. I started Nightly #27 freshly wiped but haven't wiped since.

Just flashed the 1.8 kernel with the new video drivers and its a little funky on the latest evervolv. My phone can do 1.8 stable but it is probably the video drivers acting up, gonna flash the uv kernel next
Edit: flashed release 1.5 uv 1.8ghz and it was acting up as well, on release 1.4 @ 1.8 ghz and the phone is really smooth, very fast and very stable. On a side note my performance numbers blow compared to the cm7 numbers, 1400/1400 smart bench, 48 avg linpack and like 2k on quadrant.....?

Try one of the earlier kernels then, there might be some sort of aosp framework change required to take use of the new video drivers, I can't confirm it without hearing from toastcfh but that's why I say v1.5+ is for cm7 nightly31+.
I may be completely wrong about it though.

Edit: flashed release 1.5 uv 1.8ghz and it was acting up as well, on release 1.4 @ 1.8 ghz and the phone is really smooth, very fast and very stable. On a side note my performance numbers blow compared to the cm7 numbers, 1400/1400 smart bench, 48 avg linpack and like 2k on quadrant.....?

Edit for your edit.
Yes, as I just said I think there might be some sort of framework change required/recompile of evervolv to support the new drivers.
Are you sure the speeds are taking? As described in the quirks, it takes a few seconds to take a speed for some, and sometimes requires screen off/on. I usually don't benchmark until linpack hits 60+

Ran some more tests, this is on Evervolv with release 1.4. Set it on 1.8/1.8 performance and:
Linpack (12 runs): avg 61, few 62s
quadrant free ( 8 runs) : avg ~2600, high was 2900
smartbench (7 runs) : avg 1800/1800, high of 1800/1900

I think you're right on Evervolv cause mine from yesterday works great but my testkern.a2 is crap on there.
Nice job on the undervolting. I couldnt even boot the newest one! As always, appreciate your help with all my n00b questions.

What does Smartass scaling do?

I know this is probably a noob question and has been asked before (i've tried searching but to no avail). How does Smartass V2 go about setting cpu speeds? What is it comparable to?
Thanks in advance.

SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 600/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more!
Thats the definition of SmarAss Gov, some kernels support smartass other dont, where smarass is not supported your choice is ONDemand its kind of the same with less tweaks

Hi, sorry for an even noobier question, but I just started with all this rooting and custom ROM stuff. How do I go about setting the kernel to use the SmartAss V2 algorithm?
I just flashed this kernel [Kernel]CM7/AOSP[2.6.35.14](v0.1.2)OC~1.78GHz/BFQ/SLQB[Sep-11]. The dev states I cant use setcpu, but then goes on to mention the use of SmartAss V2 among others. I tried to access the Performance tab in cyanogensettings->performance->cpu settings, but it FC. Tried looking around the forums, but can't find anything. Tried posting in that thread, but apparently i'm too much of a noob.
Edit: Kinda went digging through the root explorer, does /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand mean that its using SmartAss?

[Discussion]Kernels

As some of the other threads are getting a little bit chaotic, I'm opening this thread 'bout kernels. I'm trying to list all available kernels for the I9001 here in this first post. You may discuss kernel related problems here.
Right now the kernels are included in a bigger package. That's why there are the links to those packages and not to a "single" kernel file.
Available kernels:
FeaCore_Phoenix_OC: http://mediafire.com/?al9s0abvdjrmg6e
FeaCore_Phoenix_nonOC: http://mediafire.com/?5unogie5i58x85r
Cranium Kernel_OC:http://www.multiupload.com/5QC10CJZK6

Is the feacore phoenix non oc is stable? Battery drain???
2.3.6 ZSKP6 | Adrenaline Shot v12

Current status is that jhash3 is reverted back to standard jhash in the OC version. Yesterday I had a loss of about 10% battery power over a time period of ~ 8 hours, which is too high. oudbrood has the same issue. Right now I'm testing the latest build. If it turns out that the battery drain is lower, I'm definitely gonna send jhash3 into nirvana

My clone of Manveru0 kernel is still drain battery 2% over night, and i have 3890 points in Antutu without any adrenalin and thunderbolt
pm.sleep.mode=1, I not use full suspend mode in MSM
max CPU freq 1490, all freq undervolted -25mv.
One question why here such options #define DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP 345600 and , #define DEFAULT_RAMP_DOWN_STEP 345600, for them very good productivity but is used only three frequencies
p.s. BFQ slow rather than CFQ, in antutu -200 points with BFQ

hey can u post ur kernal. would like to try it out. thanks

Could you upload a non-OC Fly High kernel? Or is Fly high still a test-kernel?

with or without jhash3? I guess without it, right?
the high default ramp up step value was because i once had stability issues with lower values. But that may have been something else. Anyway, did lower it for a test. Okay, I've now also SIO as I/O scheduler included. Need to test that as well. Thx for your input

Yes, without jhash3
I have included support shed debuggin in kernel, and now testing a little commands sach as echo "NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
I maked temporarily dssconfigure JFS anf CIFS.
Now testing kernel

there are plenty of codes for bln around. That ain't the problem. But, you need to change the liblights library which means, you need to recompile it and push it onto your phone. Now I don't know what happens if I push the new library with an update package, everyone gets it and after that somebody reverts to an older version without bln. You know what I mean?
https://github.com/neldar/kernel-2.6.35-nexusS-bln
Edit: By the way I've lowered the DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP down to 249600 which leads to shutting off the device every time it goes into sleep mode. Exactly this was the reason why I have 345600 in it. I'm gonna revert the sources again...
Edit2: I had a reply on the german board android hilfe about jhash3. I'm definitely not gonna reimplement it as the battery drain is definitely higher:
He checked the battery drain with and without 3g data connection
2 hours Wlan off (and 3g on) = 11% battery drain
4 hours Wlan on (thus 3g off) =2% battery drain

I used DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP adn down step 128000, and device worked normal,
Ideal sleep speed was 246000 instead of 128000

ok, gonna check it out.
Why would you choose a higher frequency on the ideal sleep speed?
Edit: echoed your values to the ramp up and down node and it immediately killed my device when going into sleep state (aka hit power button)

How to set fernel faux

Hello, I flashed ARHD 6.5.5 with faux kernel.
I want to know how to set this kernel with System Tuner or Faux Clock.
My smartphone is Sensation XE. Thanks
Actually is set:
max clock 1,512 ghz
min clock 192 mhz
governer on demand
global voltage 0mV
GPU IO Fraction 33

I don't understand your question. What do you want to set, the CPU frequency or the voltage?

Faux in its kernel thread write : "For frequency control and voltage adjustments use SystemTuner by 3C or FauxClock app by Romanbb". What it mean?What can i do with this apps?Can i get better performance setting this values?
Thanks

Hi,
With this app you can test different frequency from 1.52 to 1.8 Ghz.
You can see witch one is better for your usage and batterie life ...

It means you can overclock/underclock and undrevolt.
Overclocking can lead to better performance, unvolting may increase battery life a little.

Ok, but in your opinion which is the best combination?
What happens if i set the governer performance?i don't see any difference!

I'm still experimenting really, I leave it at 1.5GHz but I've undervolted by about 50 but haven't really noticed that much difference in battery life.
For governor I just stick to On Demand. Here's an explanation of governors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

maybe is better if i keep the stock kernel
now i reflash with stock.
IMO to have a custom kernel with default setting have no sense!
