This should be compatible with all GB roms. With the module overclock ive managed to pull 1.4Ghz stable and its lightning quick. Please post your highest frequences and benches with what rom your using too please. It would be good if anyone could help me implement my to add list too.
Big shout out back to bedwa too, thanks mate.
Notes & Important Details
NOTE: Install The Correct Version For You Through CWM.
NOTE: *This may not work correctly on roms which are using multiple/hybrid rom libraries. It should almost certainly work on pure 21A and 21D roms, your milage may vary on anything else.
NOTE: **Although The Gpu Is Overclocked Im Quite Sure You Wont See Any Performance Gain. Ive Tried At 450 & 512 Mhz Similar Frame Rate But With Artifacts On Screen. So This May Go Back to Stock In Later Updates For Stability Reasons. But at Least I Know What Im Changing Works In Some Fashion.
NOTE: ***These Read Ahead Values Do Affect Benchmark Scores For SD Read Speeds. But This Hasnt Really Made Any Other Problems That I Know Of.
IMPORTANT! Please tell me what rom and kernel you are using if your having problems so I can test, dont just say its not working and like i said above hybrid roms may not work correctly until i find a way around multiple kernel versions.

error wifi: Συγχέεται:
yep wifi problem on acura 21D rom . i think this also happens when you use thaiz rom with acura overclock or vice versa , so i believe a patch of some sort would be needed or two different version to fix wifi
Apart from that seems to run smoothly but took ages to boot up but it was the first boot after i installed, so BIG THANKS samno , hope you are successful in getting everything on the "to Add" tasks
Great stuff flashed v21D germany baseband earlier today so will try on it.
Antutu
thiaiz0,4 1188. 5687
Your kernel 6059
using thiaiz 2.6.1 prada till now erverything work
wlan couldnt test now
Compatiblility Issues
Downloading 21D now to test. Definately should work on 21 A and B.
@kampfbestie What rom are you using, does everything work for you?
Hello everyone, I would try this kernel and be helpful for development. I would like information: I have to follow a special procedure to install flash or directly from ClockworkMod? I had problems when I flash the original or other modified by ClockworkMod, or should I install it all over again by KDZ?
ludell; install in clockworkmod
You Samno best ...! The only worldwide that has managed to activate the RADIO. That is teachers. Is the master.
Thanks for your work.
With TeamAcura rom the V21D wifi does not work.
Quiet xafalo that is arranged with the appropriate initrd to our machine.
OK Acura
As up to 1.4GHz?
Wifi not coming up so what's the solution? Am on stock v21D germany
Current solution is to use 21A or B based rom at the moment until i can download roms to test. So will probably be the weekend before anything happens.
This kernel was compiled from 21A sources so we may have to wait a little to ensure compatibilty with other Rom's.
@xafalo you need to use the overclock modules these should be in most current roms.
Type this in terminal
su
echo 1400000000 > /proc/opperator
As up to 1.4GHz?
and to return to the original kernel as I do? and where can I download?
thanks
Flashing it on ThiaiZ 2.6 now, will feedback shortly.
Tested on Thiaiz 2.6: wifi working fine here!
Tx!
Working fine on ThiaiZ 2.6, first boot took ages but it's ok, wifi is normal.
Overclocked to 1.4 with script manager - phone froze instantly.
Overcloked to 1.3 - doing fine so far. - only 3.604 (got over 3.500 with 1.2)
What am I doing wrong?
This kernel no longer works with current CM10/AOKP ROMS - PLEASE DO NOT USE
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING...
This is a customized kernel built from SGH-I727 (aka Skyrocket) source code. This ROM has all the fixes from CyanogenMod & Team Chopsticks tree along with some other stuff.
It's very simple to install.
Ensure you've already installed a working ROM
Install Zip from CWM.
Wipe both caches (just to be safe)
Reboot
FSync Control - Courtesy of Ezekeel
FSync Control which can be used to disable the fsync system calls for single files and filesystems (echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled). These fsync syscalls are used by kernel modules and user space programs to flush an I/O buffer (which is in RAM) to disk to make sure that this data is actually savely stored on the disk before executing the next step. Disabling fsync can result in data loss on a crash/freeze since the data is still in the I/O buffer and has not been saved to disk as it should be and can also lead to problems due to race conditions if two or more processes access the same file. On the other hand disabling fsync reduces the number of I/O operations which potentially could reduce the battery drain and also improve I/O performance.

Governors
Wheatley Governor - Courtesy of Ezekeel
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-kernel27-jul-glados-v20-for-jb/page__st__90__p__405813#entry405813
Badass (default)
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 1080Mhz and therefore use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 1080MHz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1350MHz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing).
You can tweak the Phase 2 (1080MHz) and Phase 3 (1350MHz) via sysfs (if you don't know, then just leave it alone).
NOTE: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery.
InteractiveX
Created by kernel developer "Imoseyon," the InteractiveX governor is based heavily on the Interactive governor, enhanced with tuned timer parameters to better balance battery vs. performance. The InteractiveX governor's defining feature, however, is that it locks the CPU frequency to the user's lowest defined speed when the screen is off.
Lazy
This governor from Ezekeel is basically an ondemand with an additional parameter min_time_state to specify the minimum time CPU stays on a frequency before scaling up/down. The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand. Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state on a step overriding sampling interval. Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
GPU Overclocking
GPU is stock clocked at [email protected] & [email protected] (default).
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 3D mode to 320 MHz:
echo 320000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 2D mode to 266 MHz:
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/max_gpuclk
Available frequencies:
3D: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000
2D: 266667000, 228571000, 200000000
Kernel-based MPDecision
100% kernel-based multi-core decision! (should cpu1 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is disabled by the CWM flashable.
Check /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (70000)
delay = time between checks (500)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1 (1)
nwns_threshold_up = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be hotplugged (35)
nwns_threshold_down = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be unplugged (5)
twts_threshold_up = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed (250)
twts_threshold_down = same as above (250)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
(all times are in ms)

Governor scripts
NOTE: Not needed for v6.0.2 or v6.2 and beyond
These scripts will set the CPU0 & CPU1 governors correctly. Using a tool like System Tuner only sets CPU0 to the selected governor, but leaves CPU1 running the default. This was the only way I found to ensure both CPUs had the correct governor set. Basically this overwrites your init.qcom.post_boot.sh script with one that sets both CPUs to the same governor.

Edit/Update.... Running GREAT! Set to smartass V2 and set min freq to 192. I used NSTools to set and double checked the govenor and frequencies with Rom Toolbox pro and Set Cpu, everything is sticking and running smooth. Been running this for an hour now, will report back if I find any issues in the future. Thanks again for the kernel, InstigatorX, GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!! (high 5)
Nothing broken
Set to smartass v2 min 192
Feels smooth. Really smooth. Hopefully this means i can leave my charger at home now
Edit: holy crap! Phone is on usb charging from laptop. This is the first time on cm9 its actually charging FAST while I'm using it!

Hey guys. This is Badass Kernel, a modified version of AU Kernel with a little bit too many additions to fit in the Original Development section.
Logs are disabled in this kernel. This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Compatibility:
Android 4.2.2
CM10.1
AOSPA
PAC
AOKP
Android 4.0.4/4.1.2
CM9
CM9.2
AOSP
Touchwiz ICS V5
So.. new stuff:
1.0
CPU Undervolt down to (0-1-2-4-6).
A_U's bootsplash
Added Badass CPU Governor
Added Badass GPU control
Replace ZRAM LZO compression with Google Snappy compression which is a lot faster
Kernel Samepage Merging enabled by default
Writeback tweaked to do the work only when the screen is off
Added ROW I/O scheduler
Tweaked smartassV2 for more battery saving
Tweaked CFQ and Deadline
1.1
Added frandom support for CrossBreeder to finally work properly
Fixed memory leak in android binder
Restored and updated Lazy CPU Governor (expected: smooth UI, much better battery life and some lag in the first 20-30 seconds after boot)
Filesystem tweaks
Memory tweaks
Added SFB net scheduler and Veno TCP congestion algorithm for better use of internet
Disabled a lot of debugging
1.2
Implemented Dynamic Filesync and enabled by default
Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP
Correct AXI bus values for CPU
Re-added 825 and 844 MHz frequencies (be careful with these as they're not stable, they were left out with a reason)
Trimming /cache every 15 minutes if media playback is stopped.
Updated LowMemoryKiller driver (if you use ram manager or scripts for setting minfree, here are some really good values:3072,4096,12800,14336,15360,19200)
New bootsplash (HTC-alike)
1.2.1
Fixed Snappy
Further UV (0-1-2-3-6)
1.2.2
Enabled Compaction and linked it to LowMemoryKiller
Updated Deadline(now it's better than ROW)
Changed kernel compressor/decompressor from GZIP to the much faster LZ4.
Writeback tweaks from Linus Torvalds
Added TCP congestion algorithms: Hybla, Westwood, Highspeed-TCP. Default is Hybla because in tests, performed better than the rest.
1.3
Enabled Triple Buffering (component of Project Butter by Google)
Added Tiny RCU for smaller memory footprint
Added BoostPulse interface for SmartassV2
1.3.1
Added BoostPulse interface for SmartassH3 and updated it with a new variable(boost_freq) to suit the governors ramping policy
1.4
Lots of code optimizations
AHB Overclocking for faster R/W operations[787 MHz and higher don't have this kind of overclocking because of instability)
New 652 MHz undervolted frequency
CPU Unaligned Access (much faster booting time because of better kernel decompression)
Buffer values updated from Samsung original sources(Triple Buffering, Camera)
SmartassH3 and KSM parameters tweaked for better battery life
1.5
CPU clocks rework
Modified AXI Bus to allow lower CPU frequencies

Timer Slack Controller: (this is a copy-paste from boype's thread)
What does the timer slack feature do?
Timer slacking aims to synchronize applications' and processes' CPU requests. The goal is to wake up the CPU less often in oder to save battery. What you need to know here is the following: waking the CPU up and putting it back to sleep again consumes power. Imagine that four apps wake the CPU up four times each in one second. While without timer slacking the CPU would be woken up 16 times, it is desirable to coordinate the wakeups. If done right, the CPU would wake up less often, effectively allowing power savings and longer sleep periods. This is what timer slacking does.
I have activated timer slacking only for background applications, so that everything else stays as responsive as you know it.
Apple has recently introduced this feature under the name 'timer coalescing' with their Mac OSX Maverick (link).
More information: How Apple does timer slacking ('Timer coalescing') (Scroll a little down to the diagrams)
LZ4 Compressor:
LZ4 is a very fast compressor, based on well-known
LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm. Originally a fork from LZP2, it provides
better compression ratio for text files and reaches impressive decompression
speed, in the range and beyond 1GB/s per core (!), especially for binary files.
These speeds are scalable with multi-threading modes, quickly reaching
RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.
ROW I/O scheduler:
The ROW scheduling algorithm will be used in mobile devices as default
block layer IO scheduling algorithm. ROW stands for "READ Over WRITE" which
is the main requests dispatch policy of this algorithm.
The ROW IO scheduler was developed with the mobile devices needs in mind.
In mobile devices we favor user experience upon everything else, thus we want
to give READ IO requests as much priority as possible. The main idea of the ROW
scheduling policy is just that: - If there are READ requests in pipe - dispatch them,
while write starvation is considered.

Jeeko's PureAudio fixed for CM10.1 and AOKP: View attachment PureAudio__1.0_-_STUDIO.zip [ Please thank Jeeko for this awesome mod. ]
NOTE: This version of PureAudio is compatible with absolutely any equalizer or player.
If you have Titanium Backup installed, in the menu you'll find an option named "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM". Use it.
This is something like odexing your system, but keeps the classes.dex files inside the apps. Don't worry if you don't have a lot of system space, Titanium will odex as much as it can until the free space runs out.
TIP: So in latest version of CrossBreeder, the OP added some system tweaking which interferes with our kernel. So I edited those parts to match our settings and device limits.
If anyone wants to install CrossBreeder:
-First uninstall by flashing this file: CrossBreeder_Uninstall_7.2.13.zip - 943.12 KB
-Then install this custom version: CrossBreeder_7.2.13-Badass.zip - 1.59 MB

Changed the ramdisk, now it should boot. All versions are flashable zips, you don't have to reinstall the ROM for installing a kernel.
Keep a flashable zip with your original kernel on sd in case this doesn't boot.
I flashed kernel for CM10.1 RC6 of erikcas and it works without problems for me.

Just a question, I flashed the tweaks on this thread and Fly-On Scripts.. After flashing the kernel, do I need to flash them again?
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
Just a little update, just flashed the kernel. No problems at all, it feels smooth as it can be. I'm running it 68-768Mhz with no problems.
Wake up in the morning..
Open xda (5670 forum)..
see something new anddd..
ohmyglob! FINALLY! SIR ALIN.P's KERNEL!
Best morning news and goodness in the morning! ooohh yeah! Time to test this baby out! By the way, I'd love to see your ROM here sir Alin! THANKYOU!
Kernel works perfectly at 768Mhz, something that I couldn't OC to before. I tryed to OC to 806Mhz and my Fit rebooted automatically. :lol:
Now I'm trying to use 787Mhz to see what can happen.
EDIT: Can't OC over 768Mhz. At 787 the G-Fit keeps running for 15 mins until it locks at whatever it's doing for forever and from 806 onwards it just reboots automtically. At least that's what my G-Fit does, don't know what about the others. Just sharing my personal experience so far with the Badass Kernel.

The kernel installs in its own partitions, it doesn't mess with the /system or /data. So you don't need to reinstall anything, only the kernel will be modified when flashing.
About the OC, the kernel uses the same clocks as the stock kernel, with a little tweaks for stability and battery life(Undervolt and refined AXI bus). I was expecting 768 to be the maximum, that's a physical limit. I can't do anything about it. Anyway, I added 748 MHz in case 768 is unstable for some of you.

I just ported my ROM too. The no-gapps might still have some problems, not sure about it. I had only two reports and 30 downloads, maybe the errors are /data related and individual.

About GPU overclock:
My phone is Samsung SHV-E330S, which is basically GT-N9005 in S4 case, so 99% hardware is the same.
According to my investigation in GPU overclocking, frequencies are handled fully inside RPM firmware. Frequencies in .dtsi files aren't used. RPM uses its own frequency table and cannot be changed from linux side. So, your GPU OC simply doesn't affect actual GPU frequencies. Linux GPU governor will think it uses new frequencies and will actually switch to a wrong frequency (because RPM will use hardcoded unmatched freq table) - so everything will go wrong (as you already noticed, probably).
I've monitored GPU/PLL hardware registers and saw, they work according RPM's table and not affected by .dtsi settings.
There is the only way to overclock SD800 GPU is by modifying PLL settings (as it was done for SD600 GPU). There is PLL for highest GPU powerlevel's frequency which used solely by GPU (just like in SD600). But performance increase is not so high as it could be from increasing RAM frequency OC (which i didn't manage to tweak yet).
P.S.: I don't know about N9005, but in E330S standard highest frequency is 550MHz (according to PLL settings) instead of 450MHz as advertized in MSM8974 (not AB or AC), although in .dtsi files max frequency is 450MHz. Good bonus from Samsung
Probably, in N9005 it's the same.

Thankyou for your patience. It was quite helpful to learn a new thing.
I have got a problem when put on usb charge it stays on high frequency and instead of charging, the phone battery gets dischaged slowly. anything i have to do.
Code:
I am not responsible for anything that
happens if you use my work.
Use at your own risk.
First and foremost, I'm not a developer and am just doing this as a hobby. So, if you find issues feel free to post bug reports and I will do my best to fix. Also, if you want something added to the kernel, feel free to ask and I will do my best to add it
This is my first release and I will add more features when I get time.

Downloads:
T-Mobile H830 v2.1:
SpeedyKernel-h830-by-Jeffsga88-v2.1-release.zip
EU Model H850 v2.1:
SpeedyKernel-h850-by-Jeffsga88-v2.1-release.zip
No longer using mega for downloads. Click on links above or go-to Downloads tab at top of page.
*** Tested and working on both H830 & H850 ***
Color Calibration (KCAL):
--- Use kernel auditor or EX Kernel Manager to control, you can use the color control app located:
http://downloads.codefi.re/savoca/kcal
You may have to change kernel to permissive to use that app, which would make safetynet fail (so use other app if you need safetynet to pass).
*** Note, if you have used Live Display to change color calibration, please reset it before changing the KCAL settings.
I recommend using the following settings for KCAL (more vibrant color and no burn in):
RGB ---> All set to 230
Saturation ---> 60
Value ---> 132
Contrast ---> 132
Install:
*** Do NOT install this right after doing a clean install of a rom, boot your rom up first then install ***
*** This kernel uses anykernel2 installer which allows for major compatibility ***
*** Do NOT flash over other kernels either , only over original kernel with the ROM ***
Download Kernel
Boot into TWRP
Install kernel
Reboot
(If you have issues wipe cache / davlik)

Sounds nice!
Great news, thank you!
Runs good so far on the H850!
Unfortunately, since the May kernel commits (since Schedutil is there) using Interactive governor turns all cores to max frequency! Maybe you can take a look into this behaviour?
Nice! I will try if im on a los based rom again

I'll try and look into it, it might be able to be controlled once I add hotplug drivers. I'm working on adding some hotplugs, some more governors and doing some general changes to the configs. Happy to hear it's working on h850 too . Hopefully I'll be able to get an update out later today.
Updated to version 1.2 (new links in OP).
Added hotplugs and lionheart gov, and other misc changes. Hope you enjoy.
Would you add Westwood Tcp and zzmoove please?

Westwood is already added in version 1.2 and I'll look into adding zzmove tomorrow. I must have forgot to add Westwood to the list, will update op
Will this kernel work as the one with RR? I just want KCAL, don't really understand most of the others tunables

Yes. It's same kernel just with added features, haven't removed anything just added extra features for those who want then. So just install and leave everything alone except kcal settings (use kernel auditor to set kcal settings).
@jeffsga88 can u add f2fs support in the future?

I'll take a look into possibly adding it if I can figure out Probably won't get a chance to look into it until next week though.
On another note, going to try and push an update today with more hotplugs and governors and some misc tweaks.

Would I be able to turn off the device vibration completely if using this kernel? On the original (RR and DU) kernel apps like Device Control or Kernel Adiutor will SAY that vibration is at 0%, but the device will still vibrate if triggered by an app like Titanium Backup.
I don't really need a kernel for performance etc., I just want to get rid of that pesky vibration :laugh:

No, I haven't changed anything in regards to vibration settings, so it is same as RR / DU with that. One thing I did find though it's that using the vibration control settings on Ex Kernel manager app and setting it to 0% actually stuck and got rid of vibration, lol. But I'll take a look when I have a chance to see if it's something easy to change or not.

Someone said that the default kernel doesn't support turning off vibration and that's why the apps can't do it. I'll check out Ex Kernel Manager app, thanks - and also thanks for looking into it
overclock?
this kernel works great atm,will u add the possibilty to overclock the gpu/cpu?i have been waiting it for 1 year and no one kernel for oc yet

Yeah no problem. I'll try and see what I can do kernel side when I get a chance.

I'll take a look at overclock but I know most things I have read on other phones with the SD820, it isn't that stable with OC, but I don't mind adding the options for a slight overclock when I get a chance. I'll look into it next week.

On another note, updated to version 1.3 now. Added zzmoove gov and it's profiles (controlled under adv. gov settings) and autosmp hotplug. Hope everyone enjoys
