I'd like to present to you my first publicly shared kernel, based mainly and solely upon the "stock" CM9 kernel, before they in the future if they decide to, make the jump to a 3.x based kernel. This is a compilation of the talented developers I've had time to get to know and befriend as well as learn from but this is also meant to be as close to the "stock" CM9 kernel without adding anything to drastic. And will remain at this point for the times to come.
What it includes:
Governors the newer ones included were ported over by Nubecoder to EpicCM: performance, ondemand, powersave, userspace, conservative, interactive, interactiveX, smartassV2.
The Overclock steps are based off of Toadlife's Clean-GB, which is based off of the work of Rodderik, as well as the corrected steps which are a product of him and Cyc/dyehya. The steps range from [100,200,400,600,800,1000,1128,1200] and will remain at these levels.
It includes the force reboot button combination from Froyo brought forth into Gingerbread by the combined efforts/guidance of Nubecoder, Tortle and Mkasick.
Kexec support for those who wish to tempflash CWM5BML zip to update modems, Kexec is a product of mkasick's ingeniuty(pure genius I have to say.) And the zip for that flash is a process of the invaluable work of wtogami.
Support for Dock Audio is credited to bbelos, as well as voodoo color in the voodoo color specific version.
Voodoo Sound has been added in from the simplified commits of KernelSanders which is the work of zman0900, which is based off of the work of Earthbound[iAP] so I'd like thank both of them as well.
I'd like to thank Tortel and noobnl, for the initial wave of custom MTD stock TW kernels, it's unrelated but I've no reason not to thank my friends haha and then thank Nubecoder for his own create_boot.img method, which is quite excellent.
And finally so I shut up, in no specific order: Decad3nce, UberPinguin, mkasick, noobnl, DRockstar, nullghost, Tortel, Nubecoder, wtogami, Rodderik, jt1134, dameon78, wispofattes, and many others who greatly contributed to work involving CyanogenMod.

Changelog and Downloads Links:
What's new:
As of 1.1: TUN, CIF, TCPMSS added in.
As of 1.2: Default Gamma Levels on ShurikenVoodoo were adapted by helpful suggestion of bbelos, as well as updated the recovery initramfs, scrolling shouldn't be buggy any longer.
As of 1.3: Addition of RNDIS as well as removal of 1.3, 1.4 from OC, it tops off at 1.2 ghz now, for some stability when overclocking.
As of 1.4: Added in bug fixes from CM9 kernel, involving that of Camera as well as kswapd0. Current Recovery initramfs is odd and shows a weirdness when installing, doesn't display all information.
As of 1.5: Voltage Control output is now fixed, all steps should be recognized, as well as matching Kernel commits with upstream, will be compatible with Alpha 3 when Alpha 3 drops, otherwise not a major update, just keeping it up to date.
As of 1.6: Multitouch protocol fixes by Mkasick, up to date with stock.
As of 1.7: Added 1.3 ghz back in stable, not going any higher than this. No updates to stock kernel, so currently up to date.
As of 1.7-1: Added in ability to disable steps. 1128, 1200, 1316 are disabled by default, for the sake of choice.

As a disclaimer, this kernel isn't fine tuned towards Overclocking as that of the likes of Samurai Kernel but it's not intended to be Samurai kernel or be like Samurai kernel, it's just what it is. The methods to compile my kernel as well as means to build a CM9 MTD boot.img(original method created by nubecoder) are above at my repo's within the OP if anyone would feel the need to go about doing it themselves, as a learning process, I'd be open to help anyone who feels like they want to try.
Reserving for my buddy, he can always change it to him lol

But would you think you'll put 1500 in future I know you said those were it but just asking you never know. But if not that's ok how does those steps work with the EPIC we never ran those steps before.
Ill wait for a more stable relase for CM9 and then make the switch From CM7.

It's based off of Toadlife's steps for his CleanGB, and honestly for my own personal preference I won't be putting 1500 into my kernel, Earthbound will have his kernel up to CM9 in no time I'm sure, as well as bbelos. I've tested and messed with each of the steps for the sake of use, but otherwise this isn't meant to be a permanent contender kernel wise, just meant for a part time use to hold people off at launch for a bit.

Using this right now. Thanks for the quick port.
Is TUN, CIFS, and TCPMSS support turned on? Also, a pet peeve of mine is kernels that change the build number... Any chance you could switch to the localversion string instead (where custom kernel info arguably belongs, see my Github, bbelos's Github, et al)?

THIS THREAD IS MEANT FOR DEVS ON THE MATTER OF UNDERVOLT
According to the guy who made setcpu.
pershoot just changed the voltage used by adjusting the voltages (in mV) in the acpu_freq_tbl table in acpuclock-scorpion.c
So if we just edit the table in our own acpuclock-arm11.c(or acpuclock-arm11.c-OCing), that should give us undervolt?
It can't be that simple?
Code:
/* MSM7201A Levels 3-6 all correspond to 1.2V, level 7 corresponds to 1.325V. */
enum {
VDD_0 = 0,
VDD_1 = 1,
VDD_2 = 2,
VDD_3 = 3,
VDD_4 = 4,
VDD_5 = 5,
VDD_6 = 6,
VDD_7 = 7,
VDD_END
};
Thanks to kleranc for idea.
I should probably update this since it has been reincarnated for some reason. lol.
Regardless, this image will explain everything(thanks jus10o for the nice drawing):

I have to be clear about a few things though:
Under my own testing, and from my own experiences; our processor isn't capable of exerting itself that much. So if you are using an undervolted kernel, it really only undervolts the higher frequencies as you can see in the table above. This is good and bad.
Good: Because you're not using that much juice from the battery and you keep a lower core temp
Bad: Because you may notice performance loss
It also has to be noted that not all processors will behave equally: you may experience no performance loss, or you may experience complete loss. It's a roll of the dice.
About lower frequencies and undervolting(from GSM Hero forum):
dipje said:
To all
Now, about the 'undervolting': A lot of talk and discussion has been going on in the kernel thread(s), and I think every kernel 'hacker' in the end ended up with pretty much the same frequency table and settings. Going lower than VDD_3 ended up in waking-issues or not-responding heroes. Some worked, most didn't. You see the ROMs here and there that used 19mhz and / or VDD_2 or lower now releasing updated versions with just a bit more juice and mhz during sleep, because some heroes really aren't waking up properly.
Or aging 7200 just needs a bit of juice apparently

Well at higher-frequencies we'd benefit a lot on battery life. With just about everyone using Overclock kernels, this could really help out.
For some of us, battery life means a lot.
So phusson has a simple fix for dropping VDD levels.

Name sounds familiar? Yeah he's the same guy who helped us get overlocking on our msm7k phones

if i am not mistaken lowering the voltage would increase the heat at high clock speeds. this is just a guess from my engineering background.

Yes it would increase the heat, but no substantially. Besides, we wouldn't decrease the voltage too much. Finding just a "safe" undervolt to conserve battery(if it exists).

Huh? Excuse me, but I have an engineering background too (materials science) and must have missed that lecture. What is the principle behind this? I'm really skeptical because I'm 99% sure from my years of PC modding experience that a lower voltage is synonymous with better battery life, longer life-time (opposite effect of over-volting), and lower temperatures.
There are no disadvantages other than instability, which only happens if your voltage is TOO low.

But will this work on sense based ROMs? I know that the frameworks are different with AOSP ROMs. I've been wanting to do this for a while now but I have no expertise at all.
RE: c00ller
I have to agree with c00ller on this. As an engineer with a physics background, and more importantly, an avid PC overclocker, it is considered common knowledge that lower voltages produce less heat, decrease power consumption, and sacrifice stability at higher clock speeds.
Considering that some of our hero's can be clocked up to 768 mHz stable, undervolting should be doable to a reasonable extent. In fact, if somebody wanted to keep stock frequencies, ie up to only 528, a significant amount of undervolting could probably be accomplished.

Just to clarify kernel != ramdisk .
The kernel is #15 from darchdroid 2.7 from the uv.zip just thrown together with the ramdisk from 2.3.3. That equals the new boot.img.
I have tried the other Kernels available , Genocide, Twilight etc. The performance gains are real and it is amazing what the developers are doing.
However I have significant instability with these Kernels compared to Stock. I use my phone for business and stability is #1 priority for me. The only fix I really need is the skipped key press bug. I am running stock now but the keyboard is unusable without the fix.
Would one of the developers that knows what they are doing have time to compile a stock kernel with only the skipped keyboard fix implemented?
Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks again for compiling that kernel. Downloaded voodoo controller from the market as well. Didn't realize what I was missing as far as sound quality!
Not to rudely question your decision, but have you tried any customs that support voltage control? (Currently only genocide, but twilight is promising it soon). I used to have terrible instability, but it was because my phone couldn't handle undervolting... genocide + voltage control removing undervolt fixed that.
On a side note, if you decide to try genocide make sure you go to the end and look for the 1.0.1 test build, it fixed the kswapd0 high cpu usage bug (rare, but definitely made the phone less stable). I've had 18 hours of perfect uptime (not battery of course) since installing the update, and I have large tendancy to max out my phone.

Thread in the wrong section. Please post in the proper section. Thread closed.
Root IS required !!
This mod will add init.d support to any rom even stock roms without editing the ramdisk. Instead it uses the post_boot.sh file that is in most if not all roms. It should work on most devices, if it does not work on yours please look in /system/etc and post the name of the file that contains "post_boot.sh".
This mod has been tested on the OneX and OneS.
To use just flash in recovery and add your favorite scripts to init.d.
For devs:
To add this method to your rom simply edit the post_boot.sh file and add this line at the bottom:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/*
Easy right ? Suprised it hasn't been done before, well at least that i know of.
All files in init.d will be executed at boot just like regular init.d. You can also manually add the line and make it whatever directory you want.
I have attached a test file to flash to see if init.d is working.
Flash Init_D_Test.zip in recovery
Reboot and navigate to /data and look for a file called Test.log if it's there Congats init.d works.
Download:
http://goo.im/devs/smokin1337/Mods/Easy_InitD_1.1.zip
Changelog:
1.1 - fixed error in script
Definitely works!!
"Init.d support allowed the use of the CPU editor resulting in these results, proof that it works."
I've been testing this since this morning and I didn't hold back on use, forums, news, calls, and texting/mms as well.
Here's the proof but you have to be root and it will change your quadrants a little lower but response is up there with battery savings.

Maybe I should explain my last post, I'm running Stock official release rooted, many people believed that init.d support couldn't be used for Stock builds but this allows you to be able to run scripts like this one I'm running "CLICK THIS LINK TO THE RIGHT, IT"S WORTH IT!!!" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584508).
This is the CPU editor which allows you to change cpu settings on a stock kernel and custom kernels as well. The One S has an amazing stock kernel but you can tweak it to control when the second core picks up and drops off, the cpu editor changes those settings depending on how you want it to perform for you by profile.
1. Performance
2. Performance and Battery saver
3. Battery saver
My pic above shows the first day of testing with moderate to heavy use using battery saver (#3) leaving the Min and Max at their original settings 384 and 1512 but telling the cores to work in a different way, instead of the second core picking up at 90% of the first core it picks up at 10% till it makes it to 100% of the first cores process making it snappy but when it reaches 100% the second core drops off and stops running.
When you put it in sleep mode it drops the first core to min settings and holds it there till it's needed. I had to have the init.d script in order to use this script because I like stock for the time being, personally I'm a MIUI fan but Sense 4 has a good hold on me at the moment.
Init.d allows these types of scripts to run on a device which in the past had to be a community developed rom, now it's possible to use a stock device rooted and still have the benefits of developed scripts like multitasking script, supercharger v6, OC daemon (Virtuous) etc...
Hope this clears things up for you.

As far as I can see, "init.d" Scripts are Tweaks which are dynamicly loaded on each startup by the ROM ( if the said rom Supports it ).

Most scripts that you'll find here are specific for their respective devices, the cpu editor is more of an universal tool like others posted in other forums that haven't made their way around the block yet but for the most part you would be hard pressed to find scripts that are meant for anything else on these forums.
Devs are really good about warning users if there is something that might be high risk to use.
You are right about the definition though, good to see some one uses that great friend Google that answers all your questions without asking anything in return.... Google is awesome! lol...
Orical, V3n3, thanks for the replies. I had an idea of what it did before, but I'm a lot clearer now. I know I've seen threads that say "ROMs with init.d only" or kernels, whatever, but now I can't find them anywhere.
As for messing with the cores, I'm a little hesitant. But I'm also a little curious. Does that script allow for any overclocking? I'm not looking for much, maybe like an extra 100MHz (just to get back what the 1.84 update took away, really).
Never mind, I'm just going to give it a try, made a nandroid and going for it. Thanks again.

No problem, this opens up options for all stock rom users now that had to leave stock in order to use script enhancements. I don't want to seem like this is my project here, Smokin1337 is the thinker and finds ways to make everything better for everyone. I merely tested it for our device but I'm sure devs will find this useful everywhere, big thanks to smokin for the find.
How does one apply this? I've flashed it and now what? Thanks for the great work by the way!

Now that you have init. d you can install a script that you can use to do anything you want, I would suggest the CPU editor smokin1337 made. Look at his sig, it's designed to help battery life without having to install a custom kernel bit it also works with custom kernels too.
PS yes terminal emulator is how you use it type "SU" then "CPU" and follow the menu from there.

I'm using it now, set to battery/performance and already I'm seeing a decent increase in my stand by time. Excellent script!

Yeah he knows his stuff, it's not loaded in gimmicks and it does exactly what it should. More need to try it.
Is it possible to flash this without a custom recovery? Im on a evolte and i need this as a stepping stone to improve my multitasking, but i don't want to HTC unlock for a recovery.

If you are rooted follow the manual method in the op
Basically add this line to /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
/system/etc/init.d/*
Then create the init.d folder

Tried this the other night, went to bed without charging my phone and my phone only dipped 1% in eight hours. Definitely a huge improvement on battery and I chose the middle setting. Awesome work.

Awesome! Thanks for the support!!
Just flashed this kernel. Will reporter deze my experiences in 2 days, first impression is very nice!
thanks for fresh kernel..

you need to be S-OFF since this is an anykernel package..if you are S-OFF then eveything will be automated..use Synapse from Playstore to customize settings..
Any feedbacks/rants/violent reactions?? should we keep doing things here?? making me bleed without even the phone with me?? people here seem to be more uncooperative than the people on Xperia..they are craving for an official release already i'm just shy to do so..

I think i'm just happy that anyone cares to develop for this device so i'll take what i can get!
Since flashing 4.4.3 Rom with this kernel, i've noticed some lag on my lockscreen, exiting chrome with home button (home screen re-draws a lot), and pulling up my keyboard, especially in hangouts. I'm trying a different kernel (bilal_liberty) to see if that makes any difference. I think it's about the same...maybe a little bit smoother. I'm going to use that kernel for another day or so, then re-flash yours to make a better comparison.
Thanks for your work for our device.

its because HTC Implemented some DMA mappings..on high density devices(2gb RAM and above) we don't have these issues..this is just a port of what HTC did on M7 so we expect things like this come implemented too..so with the lack of huge RAM, indeed you will suffer issues..as a workaround i built a new one and sent it to Whooper and she gave a positive feedback with the laggs/redraws gone..on next release hopefully everything should be OK..i am just waiting for her to report the battery life for the test if the changes i made affected battery life or is it just stale..
Thanks for the nosy feedback i really appreciate it..any one else with issues so we can start balls rolling for an update?

Thanks for the useful information. I'm looking forward to trying out the new kernel.
Hi,
I've been using this kernel since the day it was released. And I'm very happy about it! The features I like the most are UV (i undervolted 50 mV and disabled krait voltage boosting in synapse) and the way dt2w and s2w/s2s work. UV was really something this device needed. Max cpu temp was about 42℃ and it was idling around 6 degrees above ambient temperature, so it is a lot cooler than when I used different kernels. Battery time is also pretty good. The device has very good deep sleep now in combination with IC and greenify.
Although this kernel is imho the best kernel for the One mini, it still has some issues. The first one is that the launcher redraws pretty often, but I can't say this is because of the kernel. I also experienced this with the kernel that is packed with IC. The second issue is that when I lower the cpu freqs, either with trickster mod or synapse, they don't stick. As soon as I leave the app the frequencies go back to default. And the last thing I found was that after a while I got problems with connection. WiFi and mobile kept going on and off. Clearing cache/dalvik cache fixed it.
Anyway, thank you for this kernel and I hope you will support us for some time!

Yes eventually you have to clear caches since i recompiled a newer wifi module..regarding frequency issues not sticking its due to pnpmgr doing scaling stuff on its own..regarding redraws as explained earlier its due to some memory mapping HTC did to the kernel source..at my best, i did salvage a bit of memory from the GPU..well on next release i will balance the GPU memory to the system memory in proportion to alleviate issues..
Thanks for the feedback..next updates will be abit chunky..L2M is for testing already..and for those fetish with MLG..i will not add it..i won't contribute to backdoor exploits to android thus i am striving my best to eliminate memory leaks which in the latter can cause battery drains or high memory usage..
BTW the kernel packed with IC is mine.. (i made it)
Hi, Kairi
Having issuses with Kernel. Frequ. wont stick in synapse.
If I try to reduce from 1.7 to 1.4 everytime i leave synapse frequencies are on 1.7
Checked permissions of different files and folders all seems to be right so far.
Have you any advice?
Reinstalled app.. cleared cache + dalvik ...I´m on latest Liberty ROM
Thanks for your time and work...to support this device

i'm out of thanks..haha
thanks for the report..next release i will lock the cpu frequncies down to stock.. as explained earlier..we have a closed source binary named "pnpmgr" that does frequency scaling on its own..so no matter how you change frequencies it will always revert to what that binary wants..

Hey Kairi
Ok I understand...so I have a question ...ist it possible to make one with oc enabled
and one without?
Or is this too much work for you?

I haven't built one for the smt231 before....how hard could it be.
U have the degaswifi3g right?
This kernel made my T230 lag more with graphics than normally. (Only little bit though)
I didn't notice any performance increase otherwise either.
Also I think battery drain is much higher in deepsleep than in stock kernel. I had this problem with earlier custom kernels too.
But would be awesome if it gets more stable some day. Good job trying to still give a life for this old tab:good:

Ya i figured out why too, when I was building back in 2015 I always struggled to get the CPU running smooth. I've found out that the kernel can run at 1768 but struggles due to the ram and axi, which both can only run so high. I've dropped the max to 1586 and plan on leaving it there because its is a lot smoother and over clocking the axi and ram improved the smoothness quite a bit but that literally the max I can get it for now. Will post another build tonight for you to check out.
DELETED
Sorry its taking some time. Something I changed is causing a bootloop, I'm trying to fix it now

It feels lagging too. Stock kernel lags too, but with it you can pull top bar down more smoothly(I think). This tab is kind of laggy with UI animations anyway so a bit hard to say is there a difference. I will still leave it installed over night to see how much battery it drains while in deep sleep with no wifi. Also even if it's lagging the cpu usage doesn't seem to need to go over 50% when using kernel adiutor(I only tried to pull top bar down switch menu though, but with this lag I though it should go higher). Not sure how high did the stock kernel cpu usage rise. Will check tomorrow when I install it back.

Yeah, now it is at least as smooth as stock kernel. I think some apps move a bit snappier. I'm gonna stick with this version for now.
