IF YOU HAVE REBOOTS WHEN YOU ARE USING THE PHONE, IT'S BECAUSE YOU SET A UV TOO AGGRESSIVE, SO, YOUR CPU CAN'T BE STABLE. CHOSE A LOWER UNDERVOLTAGE
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW VOLTAGE CAN REACH YOUR CPU, START STABILITY TEST (DOWNLODABLE FROM MARKET) AND USE IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IF PHONE REBOOTS IN THAT TIME, THAT VOLTAGE IS TOO LESS FOR A STABLE CHIP
NOT ALL CHIP ARE THE SAME, IF YOU HAVE A LUCKY CHIP, YOU CAN REACH A LOWER VOLTAGE (AS MINE)

Ok Guyz, since show creates the badass governor, i'd want to use it for a better one multicore configurtion
What's the advantages of multicore sistem?
Symply, more parallelization means more performance per second, as i can say, 2 core can compile at last the double quantity of threads than 1, so, 1 core at double frequency can't compile the same number of thread, but it do it faster..
ex..
if you have 2 thread (impossibile), 1 audo and 1 video, a single core @ 2ghz compile firstly the audio, than the video.. the dualcore architecture can compile on core0 the audio and on core1 the video!! this is the powerfully of multicore system.
Ok, since i say it, i create a MOD witch TRY to use this logically.. this MOD uses the limitate frequency of the badass governor, that's why, with ondemand, all of 2 core goes at maxFreq too fast, now, with this badass, the system will not grow up the first limitate frequency until the single core uses more than that frequency.. so.. we can limitate the "ondemand" issue in 3 freq phases..
thus, the actual MOD configuration is it:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SCREEN ON:
- dualcore with all cores TURNED ON (hope you understand now )
- governor badass for all of 2 cores
- min freq at 384mhz for all of 2 cores
- max freq at 1.566ghz for all of 2 cores
- first phase freq at 810mhz for bla bla bla
- second phase freq at 1.188ghz for bla bla bla
- third phase freq at 1.566ghz (is the maxfreq)
SCREEN OFF:
- only core0 is TURNED ON
- governor conservative
- minfreq 192mhz
- maxfreq 540mhz

Badass governor has the same configuration as last show's ondemand governor
So, now, with this MOD we have a pure functional dualcore with the advantages of multicore system, with limitate frequency. The stock situation is 384-810mhz, if the single core (is the same, qualcomm uses asyncronic frequency) needs more than 810mhz, it increases the max freq to 1.188ghz (the sensation original frequency), if 1.188 isn't sufficently, it increeses at 1.566
remember, qualcomm has asyncronic frequency, so, one core can be run at 1.56ghz, the other at minimum mhz..

INSTALLATION:
-) flash a kernel witch has badass governor (i advise bricked 1.1) with NO GPU OC and what governor you want, the same for the frequency, mod autochanges those, chose what scheduler you prefer.
1) Flash MOD zip file by recovery
2) Select what MOD YOU want
3) Reboot.
#) You have to reinstall at every Rom Upgrade
# If you want only the UV, select Remove in mod choseing (it's the same as no installing it); you can use the UV mod with all kernels, and all governors
# If you come from V2.0 to 3.0, go to recovery, wipe, format system partition, after that, reinstall rom, reinstall bricked kernel (if it hasn't), reinstall other mods (like battery %), install my mod, reboot.. You will not loose your data
# ONDEMAND VERSION IS NOT FOR GOOD BATTERY CONSUPTION, IF YOU HAVE HUGE BATTERYDRAIN (IT'S WHAT YOU'LL HAVE) INSTALL THE BADASS - BOOST+BOOST VERSION.
DISINSTALLATION:
1) Boot in recovery, flash the Mod
2) Select Remove
3) Reboot

FAQ

Click to collapse
Witch version could you chose?
The versions of the mod are two:
The 3.7 is the older, it's for the bricked 1.1 version AND for other kernels (don't know if all rom will boot up with my mod, some has issues)
The version 10 and above are for bricked 1.36 and 1.40

What setting could you use?
You can intall what you want, i create those (expecially the 10 versions) witch has the possibilities to be changed as users experience.
I advice to use default settings if you don't know how change, but, you should try to, it will not brick your phone, in fact, you could find a new setting could it be better for your use.
So, try try try
One EX:
If you want a faster phone, grow up the minfreq to 300-400mhz, grow up the first phase at 1.2ghz, put the second to 1.2 or more, and change the maxfreq as you would, OC too.
If you want a better battery experience, decrese minfreq, the first and second phase, decrese the maxfreq too, maybe, with this settings: 192 - 648 - 1020 - 1180 mhz
If you want the lowest battery experience, try with this setting: 192 - 648 - 1020 - 1020 mhz
Be careful, you could have some lags if you chose the lower setting, but, for ex, if you don't play, you can chose a setting as like, 192 - 810 - 1020 - 1180 mhz
So, you have to install, select one setting with you think it's ok, try, if you have lags in some situation, grow up some setting, an re-try til you find your best settages. I don't have your use, so, i don't know if you could have a good esperience with my setting.
How to see if mod is working?
If you have the version 10 or above, you will find a new file in SD card, it calls IBA21ModWorking. if you don't find that, turn on the screen, wait 5 seconds, turn on, refresh the explorer app, and try to see if there is.
If you have the 3.7v you have to download and install system tuner, and see if all cores are turned on.

Why my phone doesen't boot after apply the mod?
Not al roms has the same quality, some doesen't have some little features; my mod uses a whyle cicle witch chages settings from screen-on use to screen-off (standby). If phone doesen't boot up, rom doesen't have the possibility to use the cycles in the script, so, script is unusefull.
Do you need to delete or wipe the rom at every upgrade?
ABSOLUTELY NO, mod auto removes the old script and changes that with the newer one, so, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY FLASH THE UPGRADE OR THE NEW SETTINGS WITCH YOU ARE CHANING!

enjoy my work and, press a lot of thanks buttons! :d

Very very good, the system is smooth and stable, I've only a lag after reboot, and sometimes when start synchronization...
Good work!

Hi nice script. Must the CPU values be truly stock ? Could it take something like 384-1566?

Lags depends on badass governor.. it's "normally".. but.. 1 lag per day is not bad, remember, with my configuration you have a better badass configuration with lower power consuption than faux kernel..

Looks awesome
Noticed bug appears after every reboot?
How to change second phase to 810-1134 and delete third phase? Or I don't need it
And soo.. It's fully better than original badass?

You don't need to delete it since system uses third phase (1.2 to 1.5) only in heavy games and web browsing+flash player.. in web usage cores goes to 1.2 max
Btw.. third phase is the maxfreq governor.. i can change it by script if you want to try

Take.. flash it as you would.. you can come back with stock script
For who doesen't understand.. the phase limis is a real limit.. since system needs more performance, system use the lower limit.. as i can see in my use:
For home scrolling 1 core goes to 1.2ghz, the other is at 192mhz (low power consuption)
For notice bar scrolling 1 or 2 cores goes to 810mhz, it depends on other app.. 1 core at 810mhz can calculate the notify bar
For chrome beta browsing.. in web rendering ( page loading) all of 2 cores goes to 1.2ghz, after that, core goes to 192-810 since heavy scrolls, heavy zoom, or animations in the web page (in google page cores goes to 192mhz )
For browser + flash player, 2 cores are uset at 100% at 1.56ghz since it comes down.. after that.. system uses 192-810.. sometimes only one core goes to 192-1.2
In games core i dont know why i dont play games
So.. the third pase is only a turbo boost, it's used only when system needs more and more power.. the phase is a real limit..
For example.. you have a stock 192-810.. when system needs more than 100% (810mhz) badass grow up the frequency to second phase.. it's the same for third phase.. so.. if system doesen't need more power, badass doesen't grow up the cpu frequency..
In my test i see.. ondemand tweaked + core1 off at my usage has a cpu temperature at about 55degrees C.. with badass, 47
So.. lower tenperature.. lower power consuption!
Sure.. ondemand has a faster one response.. since it grow up frequency every time, for low needs too..
you couldn't have performance plus heavy power..
The "busg" is too.. until system needs more than phase freq, it doesent grow up, so, when there's the necessity of more freq, upgrading is slower than ondemand, and it creates a little lag..
On boot, don't know why but.. only one core is turned on.. it's a system fault of reading script.. if you turn off screen, and turn on, it returns at normally (so.. needs an off-on cicle)

Yep that has only 2 phase.. 192-810 and 810-1.2
I edited last message with informations about your questions

Shouldn't this be in the Development section?

nope.. it's not a developement app.. those are some settages..
if you load the script, and delete it, the settages has been changed..
when you turn on display
screen ON:
- dualcore able
- governor badass for all of 2 cores
- min freq at 192mhz for all of 2 cores
- max freq at 1.566ghz for all of 2 cores
- first phase freq at 810mhz for bla bla bla
- second phase freq at 1.188ghz for bla bla bla
- third phase freq at 1.566ghz (is the maxfreq)
when you turn off
screen OFF:
- only core0 able
- governor conservative
- minfreq 192mhz
- maxfreq 540mhz
it changes that values at every turn on-off of the display.. only 1 time.. so.. if you load the script, and delete it, at display turning off, the script doesen't change the values, and, you will not have the "screen off" setting, so, you'll have the stock badass, so, more power consuption
i repeat, my script is only a numerical setting, it's not a kernel, it changes only the superficially values of the kernel, after that, is the kernel governor the real fault of frequency changing
sure.. with my script you have that 2 configuration.. and.. if you see.. conservative in standby means low power consuption (from 20 to 70ma in standby, depends on the system performance needed)

Is step 6 necessary? I don't have that function in root explorer

it's not obbligatory.. but.. you have it.. long press.. OPEN WITH -> LINUX script (it's the third link from top)

Or you can reboot 2 times.. in first run script changes the name of the file witch turn on the second core.. the mpdecision.. so.. or you do a first manually run.. or you do a first reboot.. script changes the name, but the mpdecision script is already loaded.. second reboot use only my script

Thanks! Will report back after a day of use!

Iba I notice that media scanner takes extremely long to complete after applying the script. Is it possible to use badass or on demand as screen off governor?

Sure.. but you loose the advantages of low power consuption..
What is media scanner? How many mhz does it needs?

SetCPU queries

I really cant understand how to configure setcpu properly. Ive a rooted legend on 2.2 , 3.15 build. My doubts are:
1.What is userspace, ondemand and performance scaling ?
2.On the main menu of the setcpu if slided the bars way down to 19 max and 19 min , but it still shows 600max 480min as default as the speed ...
3. What does the "set On boot" option do ? Set the values on the sliders after booting ? But that does not happen.
4. I also want to overclock my legend. After installing the kernel , is it so that that the sliders' max value will increase ?
5. Also what is the difference between the 3.5 and th 4 kernel version and why do people recommend the 3.5 version ? (btw i wanna oc to 768)
-e-
My 2nd query is solved. i disabled the perflock and it went according to the sliders. But please explain the differences between userspace , performace and ondemand scaling

Any help guys ?

its easy, set on boot means what it says.
select autoconfig or recommended
drag slides to max speed and lowest speed
triggers are such as if the battery goes below say 15% it will lower the speed

sorry forgot to mention that performance keeps it at the max speed and on demand keeps it at lowest speed until more is needed

[Q] Where I can read about OC/UV Beater setup?

Please advise me, what settings are the best for HTC Desire S (SHADOW HAWK V2.0|Sense 3.0|Android 2.3.5[2.10.401.8] ROM)?
Or give me a link where I can read what mean: VOC1, VOC2, VOC3, UV1, UV2 pages?

It's really not hard to understand,
VOC 1 2 and 3 are 3 profile of CPU frequency tweakers :
Here you can chose the governor and the frequency of the CPU
You can set wake and sleep governors, low frequency and high frequency.
With Hyperion kernel, i set
ondemand
245000
1152000
conservative
245000
614400
I don't know if you can OC/UV with a stock kernel.. Maybe someone can answer you better than me.
And it's really fluid and low battery eater.
UV1 and 2 are profiles for CPU voltage tweakers
CPU voltage tweak can affect the stability of the system.
The lower the voltage is the greater the battery life is.
I advise a -25mv every where (ALL -25)
But not more, i had stability issues with -50 and more.

I know how to set a cpu clock but I don't understand those profiles onemand, virtuous, conservative etc. Could someone explain me the diffrence between them?

if you are using stock kernel then you cant OC or UV
but if you use a custom kernel like Hyperion kernel you can OC /uv
VOC1 is for setting the frequencies
this is what i use
wake
governer: virtuous
min:384000
max:1228800(you can set it higher if you have any lag)
sleep
governer: conservative
min:245000
max:384000
press perm activate button
VOC2,VOC3 are like more profiles which you can switch to when needed
UV1 is for reducing/increasing voltage
if you are using hyperion v2.0 kernel you can uv by -50 (-25 if you have stability issues)
to do this press all -25 twice & then press perm activate

If you are going to change UV settings use the temp activate for a while cause if the phone freezes it will revert to stock settings on reboot
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

These are called governors. They control the way the CPU ramps up between the maximum and minimum frequency. Go to setcpu's website for a list of descriptions between all the different governor s

Right, setcpu homepage explained me everything.

Thanks Kartkk for the info. I am using the Endymion sense 3.5 ROM with the Endymion Kernel V2 on my Htc Desire S. Sorry for being such a noob at this but just wanted to ask you lot soemthing. Users on that forum somehow seem to get Quadrant Scores of over 2000, I only manage score upto like 1750 with the settings you have mentioned above. Please Advise.
Thanks in advance.

I'm running a pre-rooted, deodexed 2.3.5, and have now tried 2 different kernels (unity and hyperion) and while I can make changes in SetCPU, I'm unable to alter tin UV settings in UV/OC beater because the kernel doesn't allow it.
Does anyone understand why this might be? X

Default undervolt values
Can someone please post the default undervolt values for the respective frequencies. I want to set back my phone to the default voltage. Thanks allot

OV is risky business if you ask me
I have htcdev unlocked DS (after ics ruu) S-on,...
I guess that some kernels allow UC/OC and UV/OV but some don't. I only tried two diffident roms fallout v5 which allowed both, but now I running finnys JB 4.2.1 rom which allows only UC/OC but not UV/OV(according to pimp my rom app).
Benchmarks cores; fallout5 antutu score: 4600, JB antutu score: 4050 but JB runs faster, smoother, slicker
And if you cannot find default values just restore nandroid backup image, and then look for values there.

FAQ
Q. My phone is running hot!
A. This is usually related to the voltage being too high. Try lower voltage, and try to determine which frequencies are running hot for you. You may need to also restrict your max CPU frequency with SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, if the frequency won't run stably on your phone.
Q. CPU-intensive apps (particularly games) terminate abnormally after a bit of use.
A. This usually means the voltage is a little too low for that frequency. Try to raise the voltage (only 12.5mv at a time) until you find a stable voltage, and let the rest of us know what value is best for you.
Q. My phone won't even boot with this kernel.
A. Sounds like the voltages are too low for you. Try the "STD" version, which uses voltages only slightly lesser than stock.
Q. I want GPU overclocking, but I don't want CPU overclocking.
A. Use the "OC" version, and use SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, to set the max CPU freq you want.
Q. Proximity sensor doesn't work during a call
A. Fixed in version 0.4

How stable is it?
And also, if I read/understood the "main features" right, you limited the CPU to only use 2 cores instead of 4?
I read that you did it for more stability when overclocked, but if this only uses 2 cores out of it's 4, I will be very hesitant to flashing it...
Either way though, this is great progress! We are finally getting a handfull of developers for the Padfone 2! Hopefully we can get Cyanogenmod ported soon aswell!
Great job!

I've been using it for a few weeks, and when I had 4 cores enabled, I found it a bit unstable. With 2 cores enabled only, it flies along due to the higher frequency, and is rock-solid.
Unless you're using the MSM_DCVS Governor (which isn't default even on stock kernel), not all the cores are used except for under high load. Using Interactive, Performance, and other Governors, it usually keeps 3 cores off, and just powers the second one up when doing things. Only when running very CPU-intensive tasks will all 4 cores be used, and the phone will run very hot. If using the MSM_DCVS Governor, it'll continually lower the CPU frequency anyway. These factors are why I've limited the CPU cores - the end-result is a faster, cooler, and less power-hungry kernel.
Nevertheless, I'll upload another one in the next couple of days with all 4 cores enabled, so people can test it out.

First of all nice work here ! Good to see people progressing. As im still bit of a noob and my question maybe quite noobish.
I have NOS installed on my padfone 2 atm and its working flawlessly. Just before I try this I wanted to ask you if this will some way interfere with NOS ?
I would happily be our test monkey if needed
One more time,
Thank you !

Hey first of all this is very nice that you develop kernel to padfone and its nice to see some progress , but i would like that if you make the kernel with 4 cores and little bit smaller clocks ex 1.5 or 1.6 and if you set low freg to somewhere near 100mhz. That would be nice to see

Quad core
I've recompiled the kernel with all 4 cores enabled, and will update after I've done some stress testing. (I won't upload it if it's not stable for me.)
When I tested it a few weeks ago, quad core was too hot, but I've tweaked the voltages quite a bit since then, so hopefully it'll be upload-worthy.

How to download link using phone?

Quad core version uploaded
I've uploaded the Quad core version too.
Curious to here other people's experiences on that - I personally find that my PF2 barely uses the 3rd & 4th cores (even on stock kernel), so I prefer the dual core kernel version (faster, more stable, less heat, less voltage requirements), but CPUs differ a little from phone to phone.
Keen to here people's tests from the dual core kernel vs the quad core kernel.

Me currently testing dual core version

Just downloaded and installed the QuadCore version. Will be back here in a couple of days!
Can you say thank you too many times ? NOT!
Thank you once more !

Thank you for quadcore version wil try it out!

Reboots in Padfone Station
I tried to use the dual core version today during some meetings and it was fine when in phone mode, but after using it in the station for a while it would get very hot and then reboot. I was overclocking it to 1.7. Anybody else have similar experience?

Usually "very hot" means that the voltage needs to be lowered. Can you try using System Tuner to lower the voltage slightly for 1.7ghz frequency, and advise whether that helps?

i have flash the dual core ver.
But when i boot and at the asus loading logo, it keep shining white screen and some color line.
After booted into system it soft reboot again and again. then i revert to stock kernel it fine.
i already wipe cache/dalvik
i am using TWRP 2.5 and stock rom

Undervolting 1.7
I have not tried it in the padstation yet, but the 4 core version undervolted 1 step down (1125 I think?) was stable when I just played Final Fantasy 3 for about 20 mins. CPU spy shows that it was running at 1.7 during that time. No apparent heat issues and no reboots or anything like that. I will try it in the padstation and report back later.
---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------
Just to be clear I only further undervolted the highest frequency (1.7). Other parts of the table were default for your 4c kernel.

Which app is recommended to overclocking and undervolting?

Overclock on the Fly

This one is in response to user "Afeeq" who asked me how I overclock & is also for anyone who is looking to overclock their A2 but have been unsuccessful or looking for steps to achieve this. But this is purely for overclocking on the fly i.e your phone will revert to normal once you reboot but according to me it will save you a lot of heartburn by avoiding bootloops, random freezes etc & allow you power when you need it & of course thereby save battery life.
My phone - ME865 based on JB 4.1.2 leak 1 stock, rooted, busyboxed,init.d'ed
I have attached Overclock modules which are essentially from SCV7 ROM overclock standalone modules zip finetuned for 1.2 ghz stock devices (Credit : Radvisct) (received from user Sayantan). Please be aware not all A2 devices are the same even if purchased in the same country in terms of their clock steps & by this I mean typically those devices which overclocked to 1.2 ghz when OTA'ed to ICS official (not fxz & maybe that too) from the stock 1 ghz on GB are the devices which are 1.2 ghz stock devices (I am still looking to understand how to check the clock steps which are different for 1 ghz devices and 1.2 ghz devices which can truly tell you which one is your particular device & it would be great if someone can details steps as to how to check this) but since my phone ramped up to 1.2ghz I took a chance. But beware senior members have always warned you can fry your phone if you push it too high or alternatively set the voltage too low etc. So it's your call & I should not be held responsible but I use this myself successfully hence posting.
Overclocking involves loading some kernel modules and setting some parameters. First step the kernel modules should be in /system/lib/modules (Copy them to this location) & second step keep the overclock script at /mnt/sdcard (i.e the overclock.sh file - copy it to this location) third step just click the overcock.sh from a root explorer & execute as root & the script should return an output of 0 meaning success. I use ROM Toolbox Pro for this & then I go to the performance tab CPU settings where you can pull sliders for speed up to a max 1.2 ghz.
Now additionally what I did was downloaded the "Tweakerz" app (Credit : Whirleyes) attached here as well also copied more of Whirleyes .ko modules (extra kernel modules zip & extract & copied to /system/lib/modules, it also adds 'pegasusq' governor which is developed by Samsung especially for dual core phones best performance) thread as here
So once you have executed the 1.2 ghz OC then open Tweakerz, click on required unloaded module & click on load module (insmod) then (slide across tabs on the top to CPU Voltage & speed), go to the last 1200 mhz tab click it and increase the sliders to the speed you desire (I went up to 1.4 ghz & marginally increased voltage & click set value) & voila extra boost over & above 1.2 ghz SCV7 OC & then once again I go to ROM toolbox Pro cpu settings (you can use setcpu, cpu master etc) & choose pegasusq governor & 'sio' I/o settings. Hitch is when the screen goes off it reverts to 1200 ghz again but I use it only when playing heavy games etc. See attached screenshot for benchmark for my various OC's. 1.2 to 1.3ghz gives the best performance for me. Now I am sure someone can chime in with a easier process and in particular ensure the OC further made using Tweakerz sticks even after screen goes off (as of now I again go to CPU tab and pull the speed tab to max set value when I require) but the 1.2 ghz OC sticks until reboot. Would also appreciate if someone can post Jellybean default speed & voltage table like has been posted for GB & ICS in the forums.

*]Too much stuff to list here. See "Sources" below and check my Github
* HTC's Asynchronous Fsync and Dynamic Fsync:
Asynchronous fsync (called "afsync" or "async fsync") from HTC is ported into this kernel. By default it's enabled and dynamic fsync is disabled (and as well it isn't needed anymore).
The dynamic fsync toggle in Trickster Mod is now serving both functions - the dynamic fsync AND the asynchronous fsync! How? By default Dynamic Fsync is disabled, and Afsync is enabled. If you now enable Dynamic fsync using the toggle, Afsync will be automatically disabled, so both functions are not conflicting each other - and this way we have a working toggle for both of them.
CAUTION
This is a work in progress! Some of the current features are still not in final stat. If you are facing issues report back here and DON'T spam the threads of the rom you're using!

REQUIREMENTS
Rooted device
Must use a Kexec Rom (CM, AOKP, AOSP)
Recovery (BMM, SS)
REMOVE any kernel modules you used before
DEACTIVATE ANY CPU tweaks, onboot settings etc otherwise your phone may not boot!
CAUTION: The kernel needs a clean setup related to CPU tweaks / Settings, etc...Keep your device as clean as possible regarding to Tweaks, CPU special settings, etc. The Kernel brings its own CPU settings and after you can boot it succesfully, you can set it like you want!
Some roms may use CPU tweaks. This can cause issues like reboots and freezes. Check the init.d folder for any CPU related stuff and Kernel modules - then remove it. E.g. Remove any scripts which include "insmod" commands.
The best setting is to have stock CPU settings set
This kernel may not work on all roms! Check and report.

2. Issues
1.1 How can I change the smartreflex minimum/maximum voltage
What is Smartreflex?
SR is compareable with an CPU governor but not for scaling frequencies but for voltages. That means SR has a fixed range of voltage (min/max) and calculates the optimal voltage for each CPU frequency. In example on light use of the CPU it scales down to lower voltage - on heavy use it can sclae to higher voltage. This is an efficient system to save power! Compared to EMIF which uses the hardcoded voltages it saves more power because it's variable. EMIF cannot vary between the values.
This interface has a hardcoded range of 830mV min to 1450mV max. Usually there is no need to adjust these values but irt can be usefull in example when using high overclocked frequencies above 1,5ghz! Usually SR cannot handle frequencies above 1,5ghz and I have hardcoded the maximum range of 1,45mV which should allow SR to handle it. In prior times the users had to turn off SR when OCing above 1,5ghz which causes the CPU to eat more power. But you can try around and report your results.
CAUTION: Don't raise the maximum SR voltage too high! It can burn your board = no phone anymore! I recommend to not use higher values than 1490mV! As already mentioned: THe default value should be enough!
ANd also: USUALLY THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON SR! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!
Ok, now let's see how to do this:
Turn ON/OFF SR
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. You can toggle ON/OFF SR for each component (IVA, CORE, MPU)
Usually I recommend to keep SR ON because it saves power! But in some cases when overclocking the CPU (MPU) the device could freeze - whether you OCed too much or SR couldn't handle the frequency! In this case you can try to raise the vmax value of SR a little bit (CAREFULLY!) and try again. If it sitll freezes and you're sure that you didn't OC too much, turn SR OFF at least for MPU!
Maximum Voltage
Currently there is no app which supports the feature of adjusting the SR vmax value, because I wrote this feature some days ago.
But in the next Trickster Mod version this option will be supported!
example:
# To read the current vmax value. Replace XXX with one of the following:
sc_core - for core max sr voltage
sr_iva - for iva max sr voltage
sr_mpu - for mpu max sr voltage (mpu is most related for CPU scaling)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
# You will get an output, e.g. for mpu = 1450000 (1450mV)
# To set a new value, do the following command (replace XXX with a value like above - BE CAREFUL! USUALLY THE DEFAULT VALUE ENOUGH AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT UNTOUCHED!)
echo XXX > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
Minimum Voltage
It's easy because Trickster Mod supports it!
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. Below each SR component (IVA, CORE, MPU) there is displayed a value (usually 830 default) which means this is the lowest scalable voltage for this component. You can try to decrease this value for the case you want to UV a bit more - or raise it a bit for the case you think that the set range is too low and causes freezes on your device.
1.2 How do I use Live OC (Live OVerclock)?
This feature allows you to overclock the CPU in realtime. It works with a multiplier value set by the user. The default multplier value is "100", which means: No OC! If you want to raise the OC frerquency, just raise this value step by step.
FOr my device the maximum working OC value is "111" which means the maximum frequency is running at 1498mhz!
NOTE: Keep in mind that you tunr Smartreflex OFF for higher freqs than 1500mhz - or raise the maximum SR voltage range for "MPU" a little bit and test if it works.
Ok, how to use Live oC in action:
Open Trickster Mod App and swipe to the tab "Specific". There you will find something like this:
Code:
MPU OC [100]
DON'T TOUCH THE "CORE OC" SECTION, IT WILL CAUSE FREEZES!
Now slowly increase the value "100" to something higher, e.g. "105". Tap the hook in the right upper corner to confirm. To see your new set of frequencies you can now whether close and restart Trickster Mod or just use any monitoring app like Cool Tool which will show your frequencies in real time. That's it!
CAUTION: You can damage your phone forever!!!! This feature allows you to set very high frequencies (also up to 2,0ghz...) - That DOESN'T mean that your phone can run these frequencies!
If your phone freezes or crashes you have probably set too high OC - or your voltage is too low.
1.3 How do I use Custom Voltage (EMIF)?
NOTE: This only adjusts the fixed voltage! When you have Smartreflex ON it can still vary! You have to see the bigger picture: This voltage value sets the "middle point" for voltages. Smartreflex is still able to increase or decrease the voltage. When Smartreflex is OFF the CPU will stay on this voltage you set here and probably eats also more power.
How does EMIF works together with Smartreflex:
Code:
-------
| CPU |
-------
|
------------------ ------------------
|Voltage 1015 mV | ---->| SMARTREFLEX ON| = 1015mV +/- "vmax"/"vmin"
------------------ -------------------
|
--------------------
|SMARTREFLEX OFF| ----> 1015mV FIXED! No changes!
-------------------
Thi smeans if you change the voltage for a scaling step (OPP) while SR is ON, SR will adjust the voltage from this value, means: mV-Value +/- SR vmin/vmax. WHen SR is OFF it will stay on this mV as a fixed value.
How to adjust the voltage?
Well, this feature can be used with all generic apps which are supporting voltage settings. But we are prepared well, you can adjust voltages also with the "Trickster Mod App".
When you open the app, head to the tab "Specific" and below the "Live OC Section" you will find your voltage table, which looks like this:
Code:
<-->
1200 [1398]
1000 [1388]
900 [1371]
...
..
..
Now just tap the arrows in the right upper above the first voltage value and just type or tap (per direction) a value, e.g. "-25". To apply it, confirm by tapping the hook in the right upper corner of your screen. That's it, your new voltage values are now set and applied. And also mind here: If your phone freezes you porbably have set it too low.
CAUTION: NEVER SET HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN 1490mv here!!!!! Or you might damage your phone FOREVER!
This voltage is not the same like Smartreflex! But it's still voltage! Just be carefull!!
1.4 How can I use GPU OC and GPU Governor?
GPU Overclock doesn't work like Live OC! You cannot really set custom frequencies for the GPU, but you can select and set the maximum frequency from a hardcoded range!
For the GPU there are the following available frequencies:
154mhz (FIXED!)
307mhz
384mhz
416mhz
The minimum frequency of 154 is FIXED! This means you cannot change it because the GPU needs a minimum speed to run with. But the kernel allows you to select the maximum speed. This can be usefull for playing games and also for saving power . In example when not playing games you don't need the GPU to run at 416mhz! Set it to 307mhz in this case and save power.
When you open Trcikster Mod and head to the "specific section tab", you will find "GPU MAX FREQUENCY" and it's currently set maximum frequency. Tap on it to select your preferred one:
- 154 Mhz
- 307 MHz
- 384 MHz
That's it. The new setting will be your new maximum GPU frequency.
Below there's another option called "GPU Governor". Just tap on it and select your prefered one.
NOTE: If you want to track current GPU frequencies and watch governor's behavior, just switch to Trickster's "Informations" - Tab and watch the frequencies clock.
1.5 How can I use Gamma Control?
What is gamma? The gamma setting sets the color range for the screen. You can compare it to the contrast. We all know that the touchscreen eats most of the power compaerd to all other components in a smartphone! A lower brightness causes less power consumption and a lower gamma or contrast range alos helps a little bit to save power.
In this kernel you can choose from a range of "5 - 10" while "5" is very bright while "10" is very dark. The default setting is "5" BUT CAUTION: Trickster Mod will display a range of "0" to "10" and the default setting will be shown as "0". This is caused by the fact that this feature was ported from the Gnex device where you can choose from a higher range. The only sideeffect is that the values "0" - "5" won't show any difference.
How to set the gamma value?
Well, once again open Trickster Mod and swipe to the tab on the right end. Just select your preferred value by using the slider.
Alternately you can use sysfs by terminal or adb:
OMAP Gamma interface:
echo i > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma
Replace i with 0-10 of your choice.
1.6 What is "Battery Friend and how to use it?
Battery Friend is a simple toggle (ON/OFF) which sets your device into a battery friendly mode without the need to play with all settings in Trickster Mod /sysfs until you find a good setting. In fact it does the job for you.
What does it affect?
NOTE: Doesn't lock anyx frequencies anymore!
locks dynamic Fsync enabled
locks Fsync disabled
Doesn't allow any OC (Live OC will not have any effect, Core OC is not allowed in this kernel)
Increases the dirty ratio interval to 90% (starts working at this value)
Enables Dynamic Hotplug: This doesn't allow hotplugging during device is active - and it will always turn CPU1 OFF during suspend! It also prevents from conflicts when user uses a hotplug governor (which isn't a good idea though) - but hotplug governors are causing higher battery drain!
Dynamic Page-writeback always enabled
How to toggle Battery Friend:
For now the only way is via terminal, adb shell or root explorer (text editor)
For terminal and adb:
Code:
echo 1 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Enable */
echo 0 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Disable */
For Root Explorer
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to sys/kernel/battery_friend/
Open "battery_friend_active" with Text Editor
Change "0" to "1" and safe the file to enable
Change "1" to "0" and safe the file to disable
1.7 Suspend Governor Control (CURRENTLY DISABLED)
Suspend Governor Control is a kernel module written by me. You can use it to set your preferred Screen-Off-governor.
For now it's only supported by sysfs (Trickster Mod will support all my current and upcoming features as soon as it gets updated with its new UI mode!
How to set suspend governor
Open a terminal or use adb shell
Code:
su
echo "x" > /sys/kernel/suspend_gov/suspend_gov
Replace x with one of these values:
0 = Ondemand
1 = Ktoonservative
2 = Conservative
3 = OndemandX
NOTE: No matter what governor you use for suspend mode, if Battery Friend is enabled the second core will be turned off during suspend!
1.8 IVA Overclock
What is IVA OC?
IVA OPPs are controlling the CPU load for sound events. It could be useful (in some cases) when you get sound related laggs. Just set the maximum frequency to highspeed. This will allow more CPU power for sound events but also will cause higher battery consumption.
How to use IVA OC?
If you want to check the current IVA frequency. Just type in Terminal or ADB:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_clock
You will get an output like this:
Code:
132 Mhz
2. You can whether enable IVA highspeed: 130 - 430 Mhz ["1"] or enable IVA normal speed: 130 - 332 Mhz ["0"]
320 Mhz max: echo "0" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
430 Mhz max: echo "1" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
1.9 DPLL Cascading
DPLL: Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) algorithm
To get more info about this please see wiki
But to sum it up shortly: It helps to use/stream media (music) in a low power mode.
NOTE: DPLL Cascading will be available to be switched easily via Trickster Mod App soon!
How to switch DPLL?
DPLL is ENABLED by default!
Open Trickster Mod -> Speicific Tab --> DPLL (soon)
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
1.10 HDMI toggle
Some users are facing a RAZR-sepcific problem: HDMI cable is detected, even though there is no cable plugged!
Therefor I included a toggle to switch HDMI wether ON or OFF. Additinally there's an init.d script included within the AROMA Installer you can select during the installation of JBX-Kernel.
To enable/disable HDMI on-the-fy:
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
1.11 Intelli-Plug
For intelli-plug hotplugging is now only allowed when the device enters sleep.
To enable hotplugging universally just change the value of the following entry whether to 1 (on) or 0 (off):
Code:
sys/module/intelli-plug/parameters/int_hotplug
*Unfortunately I don't have enough space in the OP to write all this into the FAQ, that's why the I only added the sysfs path, but the description is simply here
2. If anyone has the following issues:
Issue
Media Process FC
No SD-Card in File Explorer
My CPU Settings (frequencies, etc) won't be saved (it sets itself back to Kernel default after screen off)
My phone freezes/reboots always when I try to set options in Trickster Mod
The device is lagging very hard
Solution
Media FC: Open App settings, head to "Download Manager" and "Media Storage" and hit the "delete data" button. Reboot. Now it shouldn't give any FCs anymore and after a little bit of waiting it will find all Media (Pictures, Videos, etc..)
No SD-Card: Reboot into recovery, go to "Mounts & Storage", tick "mount int" or "mount ext".
USB: Make sure the screen is ON while plugging the cable in.
CPU Settings: This is a bug which cannot be solved at the moment. Temporary solution: In Trickster Mod just activate the "Frequency Lock" and your settings will persist.
Trickster Mod:: Open App settings, Trickster Mod and select "uninstal updates". Now it should work.
Crashes, Freezes, lagging, something doesn't work, etc
There are too many reasons which could cause crashes! So here is a checklist for you to look for. Check each point and try the following workaround:
- Your rom has CPU tweaks (e.g. Kernel modules, init.d folder, etc)
- You have set custom CPU settings (e.g. custom frequencies with apps like No-Frills CPU Control, Set-CPU, Antutu, etc...)
- You have undervolted too low
- You have overclocked too high
- You have applied higher "Core OC" value in Trickster Mod App
- You are running any other kernel tweaks which are regarding to the CPU and/or performance (e.g. Kernel modules by Whirleyes eventually set by init.d, etc..)
- After setting some settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod) your device doesn't boot anymore
- adb doesn't work / shows only "device offline"
- You are facing hard lagging
If any point here matches your setting, please revert from it:
- Remove any CPU init.d script from /System/etc/init.d
- Uninstall any CPU controling app (e.g. Set-CPU, No-Frills, etc..)
- Remove all extra kernel modules from system/lib/modules (e.g. cpu_control.ko, cpufreq_smartass2.ko, etc..)
- Unset any custom settings from any other kernel / CPU - tweaking app which is NOT Trickster Mod
- Maybe your governor causes issues. Hotplug is know for bugs at the moment...I'm going to fix it..
- NEVER set your CPU Settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod App) on boot!!!! - before you aren't sure that your settings are safe!!!
- You may flash the kernel again after reverting related settings
- to make adb work / show device online, download latest SDK platform-tools and confirm access on device (4.2 security feature of Android)
- Don't use any task killers, memory killers, seeder apps! They may conflict with the kernel/Rom settings.
If none of these suggestions work for you your rom may be incompatible. Please report it here that I can add the rom to the list of imcompatible roms
If you have any issue, please read this:
First check:
- is it really a kernel issue?
- did I see this bug with the roms original kernel?
- what are the people in the rom thread saying?
- what are the people in the kernel thread saying?
- can I find this issue on a bug list?
- how about my settings? Is it my fault it crashed?
- can I find something useful in the kernel FAQ?
- Is it maybe a well known issue and can be solved
withing seconds? Just like wifical.sh?
- Where to repeat that issue? Rom or kernel?
I know it's sometimes difficult to track the issues, and we can't know for sure if it's caused by the rom or by the kernel, but if you try at least to get some information you might find an answer sometimes. If you are able to understand logs, you may report whatever you find.
All this helps to keep the threads more clear. Thank you.

3.0.8 / 3.0.31
There is the classic JBX 3.0.8 Kernel (a hybrid of 3.0.8, 3.0.21, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, mostly backports from these versions)
And now there is also JBX 3.0.31 (also a hybrdig including the above backports, but also from 3.0.101)
I won't list the whole version history, too long
3.0.31 first TEST-BUILD now coming!

- also reserved -

And it arrives...
Many thanks man...
Really appreciate you doing this...

I need the internal storage mount points from someone with stock kernel, please. I saw something about mmcblk0 - int ? Please anyone check the /mnt partitions and tell where the internal and external sdcards are mounted. thx
Edit: nevermind, I didn't know this device doesn't include an internal storage. Now I need to know if USB mount works on Devesh's Rom ports.

Used Stock ICS Based ROM on System 1 with BMM , and Mobile Terminal .
hope its ok .

Wow !
I see some awesomeness coming to our A2s *Respect*

All is set up. Everything works, so I will now build the first test kernel for you guys.

First test kernel in NIGHTLIES folder. Please test and report. Keep in mind that you have to be on one of Devesh's Rom Ports!
Edit: Sorry, forgot something! Please wait 5 mins...
Edit: Done!

Can I get a wohooo for the A2

JB leak?
Sorry for asking dummy question. Can i flash it on the JB leak because we still need JB leak for installing kexec room right? So if I want to try what possibly would happen?

You cannot. It needs a kexec Rom. So flash it first

New nightly online with fixed CPU and live oc! @Brantuck84
Edit: sorry, wrong thread!
But ne nighty comes here too in 5 mins

So with the current version there is a bug with OC ? ( i don't see TEST2 for Atrix like with the Razr version).

Yes, device starts lagging when OC too high (over oc value of ~107). But new release comes with fixes - OC up to 1,5ghz possible without any problems (Mine crashes when OC higher than 1,498mhz, each silicon is different).
I think I will push it as a release (not NIGHLTY) - only thing left to be fixed is the random black screen while booting. But that's not that important as long as the kernel works well when booted successful.
Edit. done!

Great can't wait to boot 1498mz!
