This thread is regarding discussion about Doomlord UC kernel for our device. This thread is specially for general chit chat, opinions, Q and A related to his kernel so that main thread of Doomlord kernel in developement section will have less crowd of unnecessary questions & posts.
So I request senior members to help noobs here. Also if necessary Doomlord will also answer ur important querries here.
Important :-Kernel is working universally perfectly with EVERY firmwares without any problems.
Current version :- v14 (21st MAY 2012)

Thank you.

Well now that kernel development is in full swing, could we look into fixing the notification bug? I don't know much about android development, but I read someone say it could be kernel related... That I feel is the biggest bug facing our beloved phone on gb!

@doomlord finally you got our device, this device has seen lots of bad times and always neglected by senior members or devs. I know lots of your work involve sony ericsson devices,qualcomm devices .
So how do you feel about our device? It's cost only 17k and you know now how it is.
What do you think of it compare to others.

can u tell us which governer & scheduler will be best for battery & performance?
I'm not an expert in android governer and i/o scheduler but I've been using smartassv2 and vr with better performance than stock with a slightly higher battery drain than original settings when actively used. When idle I have about the same battery drain as default.

I've used smartassv2 (proposed by XDA_Bam) and Scary and interactive (proposed by Doomlord). I'm using my phone mostly as audioplayer (ie almost always audioplayer is working). For me is more better smartassv2. Because with other I have lags while changing pages in the applications menu or changing screens in the Go launcher Ex.
Also I'm using BFQ as IO scheduler, because I know it's the best for not too many concurrent processes reading/writing to disk. Also usually it doesn't have too big sense for mobile devices, because we don't have a lot applications working with hdd/sd card
can anyone tell me which governer and i/o should i choose for best performance while playing hd games (i dont care about the battery drain). actually i downloaded shadowgun non tegra but it gets a bit laggy when too many enemies appear on screen, i tried setting performance governer but its the same.

1. You have to close all other application and services
2. The performance governor just put CPU to the max frequency, that's why it's the best for gaming
3. If it's still laggy you need or overclocked kernel (we don't have it yet) or make lower settings in the game (or in the Chainfire 3D)
@nail16: You need to OC or a new phone, that game is just too heavy for this phone.
After doing some research on available i/o scheduler I say simple i/o (sio) is the best from theory considering we're accessing a random access device. For quantitative conclusion someone needs to bench.
EDIT: @vishal, can you include a list of firmware versions that work with current UC kernel in your OP? For now I think we have XXKPM, XXKPQ and mine DXKP9. Also I think "[UC Kernel] Q & A" is a better title (the shorter it is the better), please change it if you feel appropriate.
Also here is very good benchmark of the IO schedulers
But remember that it was 2009, now it's 2011 and some things can be changed/optimized
what are the benefits of running custom kernel other than governer and i/o?, sorry noob question

I dare say those benchs are not enough to evaluate those i/o schedulers. e.g. In read_test.c, you see that the program will read chunk of 1MB one by one which is a very rare case that our phone would do in day to day usage. We need a better benchmark methodology to reach a conclusive answer.

On the kernel page, you saw lots of line saying added in v1, added in v2.
All those are not present in the vanilla kerel by samsung.
U can check each in google to see what it means and what good it brings the mobile.
Also read these links to understand more:

There are lots more.

How many applications do you start every day that hard works with hard disk? Do you think IO scheduler can be bottleneck for usual usage of our device? I don't think so. Only games during load of new level, gallery (during making thumbnails) and launcher (during loading icons) work hard with "hard disk"
Updated op.
I was looking into fs benchmarks for debian linux.
Found that JFS was the least CUP intensive off all.
Would it be the same on Android?

No, I actually don't really care as long as my phone feel smooth, that's why I don't go out and do a benchmark myself to ultimately find an answer. My point simply was that benchmark method in your link is inadequate. Finding faults in other ppl's works is one thing I do at my job after all.

What these benchmarks do is to guide us to use the appropriate one for our use.
As Doom says we can switch the IO Scheculer/Governor on the fly.
So where is the problem in doing so.
Hi everybody!
I am in a situation described somewhat by the title. My tf700 is so freakin' tweaked that the last thing I can do is grab a class 10 microSD card and do the I/O fix (not done yet). I am on CROMI 3.3 (rooted, unlocked, but this is obvious ), OC kernel by _that with the ROW addon, which came just after Clemsyns kernel, so the performance mode is even more kick-ass, as it stayed after kernel flash. Fsync disabled, lag fix applied. Yeah, pretty much everything except I/O fix. The problem is my top bemchmark result is about 6700, while I expect ~7150 (well, some users with same specs as mine get ~7150). Done right after a coldboot, with all the useless apps killed, forced GPU. I don't really care abot the result, but it seems like there is some performance potential missing, yet to be used... Would be really nice if someone would be able to point out the reason of this.

Seems like you're not hitting 1800 OC, can you download "cpu spy" and see if you actually hit 1800 in performance mode? and make sure you set your governor to "interactive".
Yeah, haha, I can't post pictures in this forum, cause XDA Premium app says so. Neither can I post URLs as I am still below 10 posts. Anyway, I'm using interactive governor. According to cpu spy my tf700 uses every frequency with no problem.
My latest benchmark results (I updated bootloader today):
Overall - 6909
CPU - 16475
Mem - 4273
I/O - 10648
2D - 833
3D - 2318
CPU result seems quite high, ain't it? I think that 2D is the problem, though I haven't compared it yet...

6400+ is great performance. Quadrant is not a very good consistent bench marker. You can run it 10 times and get scores wildly varying by 500 points. I couldn't get over 7000 for 2 days. Thought something was up and then suddenly with no changes 7200.
Don't worry about it. Does the ROM feel quick?

I get low scores with Quadrant, yet I don't believe them because 3.3 CROMi is very smooth and shows no indications of stutter.

Here's mine. Running beanstalk. No performance settings touched.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
BeanStalk, settings adjusted and played with all around
I can get 2200+or- running Gingerbread 2.3.6 deodexed,but it doesn't feel any smoother or faster,only beanchmarks better
After my previous post I finally got around to installing the latest BeanStalk(1.179a-20130401) so here is a benchmark from it.
Using qkster's 2.3.6. with conservative governor, max frequency 1600, I just got 2532.
As I recall I used to get 1100-1300 on Froyo stock.
Then 1800-2000 on GB rooted with bloatware removed
When clocked to 1600, I think it's usually in the range 2300-2500.
I agree the number doens't mean much. It's how it responds when you ask it to do something. The way our phone works is pretty darned good for an "old" phone.

hi everyone
i benchmarked my tf300 with antutu and i watched that in the top of the list were tf300 with scores of 17000 points...
thats pretty much in comparasion with 11000 points that a normal(not rooted & tweaked) pad could reach.
if someone knows mods and tweaks how to get these points please post it here just to increase the standarts of our tf300
cheers
I want to know that too.
installing custom roms warp drive is great and cromi-x too then use an oc kernel
Im on cromi 4.6.5 , using hundsbuah kernel v10 of and with some minor tweaks I get 13800 on antutu and 5900 on quadrant overcloked at 1.5ghz....but how to get 4000 more points in antutu ???

I can't say you will get 17,000 but incrasing the overclock to 1.7 Ghz will improve the score. Download Husdbauh;s utility from here:
http://www.noobzunited.de/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=68342692d484220b5908ec56ad31c607
That utility will allow you to increase the CPU and GPU speeds. It also gives you the capability to save your preferred clocks to the default settings "Power Saving", "Balanced" and "Performance" modes. Then when you select those modes in the future your saved settings will be applied.
Also disabling fsync will improve performace but at the risk of losing data should your system lock up or crash. That said, I have been using it for several weeks without any problem. You have to select that feature when you flash the ROM. Otherwise you can download and use "Pimp My ROM" to set fsync off. "Pimp My ROM" also has several other tweaks for improving performance but be careful what you select and that you understand the risks with each tweak. Move slowly and only select one tweak at a time, trying each one before you move on. Finally, run the benchmarks more than once. On any given run, your tablet may be doing something in the background that could effect performance.
I noticed the high scores to which you refer (the top three) are running Android 4.1.1. From what I have seen the older version seems to run faster than 4.2. Not sure why since I didn't overclock mine until after I had updated to 4.2.
I am running the same ROM and kernel as you are and I got 6804 on Quadrant and 15414 on Antutu for my high scores @1.7 Ghz.
All of that said, if you do any heavy gaming or graphics intensive stuff I wouldn't recommend leaving your tablet overclocked. I haven't had any stability problems myself but I don't do any heavy 3D work or play. Others have reported problems when doing so.
Thank u very much for your detailed answer....i would say that even with fsync off and forced 2D my benchmarks are the same...ill try to overclock even the gpu to see what will happen..

Hey all -
I have been a Transformer (and modding) fan since my TF101, and I just leapt from a TF201 to the infinity.
I'm not sure quite what I was expecting, but I surely wasn't expecting it to be slower. Responses to screen taps and swipes are very delayed, to the point where it's extremely annoying.
This is all subjective, I realize, but I was wondering if this is a widespread thing or if I should try to RMA it.
I had heard that CROMi-X was the rom to have, so I flashed 4.6.7.
I had also heard that the GPU was an ass-kicker, so I put on my favorite piece of eye-candy (that I've purchased) which is "Asphalt 7: Heat." - and it ran DOG SLOW, and wasn't particularly candy-ish.
Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but having the 201 and 700 side-by-side (literally, driving one with each hand, and poorly at that) the 700 was choppy and would pause every so often. It took MUCH longer to load, too.
So I was unhappy.
I read about the slow internal I/O and re-flashed with a Data2SD option, formatted the microcard, the whole nine yards, and it didn't really get any better. fsync is turned OFF.
I side-graded to the older CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7, and it actually seems SLIGHTLY better, but the UI has a tendency to be very laggy.
I'm going to try "AndroWook" next, I had that on my Prime with good success.
I've googled and found plenty, plenty plenty of people who have a problem with the TF700 and its speed, which is really disappointing because it's supposed to be the top of the line.
So.. is anyone out there really HAPPY with their TF700? Is it zippy and satisfying? What ROM are you using?
Maybe I'll try to unload it on craigslist and go back to the TF201. It has lower "Androbench" marks, but is crazy more responsive.
*shrug*
I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts...

Just learned about 'lagfix.'
Gonna try that.
Is 4.1.1 better performance? I realize it'd technically be a step backwards...

I'm still using 4.1.1. I run Cromi 3.4.6 with Hund's kernel 2.2, along with most of the tweaks found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232715). I am not running data2sd and my CPU/GPU profiles are not as aggressive. Apparently some people have been getting bootloops after applying these tweaks but I've never had it.
I've tried 4.2 several times (with different versions of Cromi-X) but usually come back to 4.1.1 within a day because it seems to run better.
Having said this, I think "lags" can be quite subjective - I personally think my tf700 is zippy but perhaps you wouldn't agree.

It is odd. With what you said, your TF700 should be very smooth unless there is a hardware problem Did you try a clean install? BTW, if you reinstall again, I would recommend that you should use Cromi X V4.6.5 instead of 4.6.7.
For some reason when I used the Advanced Wipe and wiped everything in TWRP. I still found some old files on my internal SD. However, when I used a formatted option, everything was gone and clean. Maybe you should do that. Also if you use Data2Ram, you should reformat your MicroSD as the same time with your clean install. A combination of Fsync Off, D2R, and Cromi X should work very well. My kernel is Hund's V3.0.6 with OC of 1.4G CPU, 520M GPU for Power Saving, 1.6G CPU, 600M GPU for Normal, and 1.8G CPU, 650M GPU for my Performance with UV about 35mV. My quandrant scores are 5800 for Power Saving = Game Mode, 6400 for Normal = Normal Activities, and 7000s for Performance = Browsing and streaming movies. Please report back if you decide to do a clean install, thanks and good lucks.
Here are my settings and quadrant scores using Hund 2.2:
Power Saving - GPU 650Mhz, CPU 1.45/1.4Ghz - Quadrant 5331
Balanced - GPU 700Mhz, CPU 1.65/1.6Ghz - Quadrant 6336
Performance - GPu 775Mhz, CPU 1.85/1.8 Ghz - Quadrant 7005
Personally I take the quadrant scores with a grain of salt because I've had setups where the scores were better but the tablet was not as responsive. I mostly run on Power Saving mode without any problems.

Several totally clean installs at this point.
AndroWook was bust, it didn't even get past the "ASUS" logo.
I'm back to Cromi 3.4.7 with _that's kernel 3.1.10. A lot of folks are mentioning Hund 2.2, perhaps I'll try overlaying that now.

I totally agree. I added a bunch of the PimpMyRom tweaks and rebooted. I'm letting it settle down and then going to see what's what.
I can't get the GPU overclock to take, though. I think I've mounted the FS r/w and I'm editing the GPU cap files to contain 1460 as directed, but the next time I open the file it's back to 1300. Weird.
So, my Quadrant score after all the tweaks were put in, on "Balanced," is 5266. On "Performance," it's 5139.

Strange. I get 5200 in balanced mode without any special tweaks, and over 6000 in performance mode with fsync off.
The general user experience is acceptable, but not exceptionally smooth - lost frames in animations are common, but there are no long waiting times anywhere.

That is really odd. Unfortunately my knowledge of tweaking is entirely based on following other people's instructions so I don't know why the GPU changes are not taking. Are your CPU changes taking? Did you follow the instructions on init.d scripts/enabling his voltage table and governor tweaks?
Here's are my cpu.sh files. I switched the profile for powering saving mode and balanced mode because the tablet always defaults to balanced mode.
-----------------------
Also, when I made the profile too aggressive (too high on CPU or GPU), the tablet got way hot and my quadrant score dropped. Since our tablets are all different on the amount of overclocking they can handle, maybe you're pushing your tablet too much. Have you tried easing down on overclocking?

This might be my final entry - after doing the PMR tweaks, and flashing Hund 2.2 (no offense, _that ) the Quadrant score in Performance mode is ... uh.. well, indeterminate because suddenly I can't attach to our wifi. Sigh. Perhaps I overtweaked.
Although, Asphalt ran VERY smoothly. I credit the GPU overclock, in combination with assigning all the 2D stuff to the GPU.
Yeah, definitely. After flashing hund 2.2, it won't acquire an IP address.
Today is surely an interesting day.

You probably have problems because of PMR tweaks I remember I also had wifi issues after PMR and I think I didn't enable all the tweaks in the guide. Try PMR recovery where it restores all your previous settings-it should restore your wifi. If not, then maybe a clean install of Cromi and then doing the init.d/Hund/CPU/GPU tweaks should give you quite a bit of performance boost.
Hope by "final entry" you don't mean you're giving up!

No, I had meant to say 'final entry' insofar as I was finally happy with it - but while i was typing it, I wanted to put in the Quadrant score, and then I realize I couldn't connect to the website, and then I realized I had no IP, and here we are.

Which is just as well, since when I rebooted I had an IP again.
Recovery image went south too, and I had to re-flash that via adb.
There is truly some weird stuff happening here.
Anyway, the quadrant score - now on "Performance" because I swapped cpu2 and cpu3, what a great idea - is...

5057.
Ah, the hell with it.

Wow, that is just odd. Does the tablet get really hot when you run quadrant? It might be that the GPU/CPU settings are too high. Hope actual performance is still working out for you.
And as for recovery, I meant running the rescue package inside PMR that "un-pimps" the rom. Thinking back on when I installed the tweaks, I think I did everything mentioned in PMR except for Network & Internet mods. And I love the xloud mod!

It was pretty warm, yeah. I knocked the cpu back from 1900mhz to 1800mhz - which doesn't seem to matter since according to the little floating CPU monitor I have ("Cool Tool") it's never going over 1600mhz anyway.
I mean, I've got PMR trying to control stuff on one hand, the built-in "Power Saving/Balanced/performance" thing on the other, and also "Trickster Mod"
Idunno.
It does seem perkier after all this, so maybe it doesn't matter.
I wish Quadrant would let me see my score without hitting the internet though. I backed off the voltages by 0.025v per speed, and came up with 5499 this time. Although I don't know whether that's "performance" or what.

Did you use Hundsbuah's app to set whatever parameters need to be set?
Sorry for not being more specific, I have no experience with it, I just know Hundsbuah didn't only add awesome overclocking features into his kernel, but he also wrote an app to control it.

And this is in addition to changing cpu#.ch files? I wonder if you've got too many cooks in the kitchen.

Is Asphalt still running better than before? I think the most important thing is that the applications you use are running smoothly and not upsetting you that (1) you spent $$$ on the tablet, (2) you spent a lot of time tweaking the tablet, and (3) you're not getting the performance you want.
I once spent a few hours tweaking CPU/GPU to figure out how I can maximize Quadrant score and what I came away from it is that high score doesn't matter if the tablet is getting way to hot for comfort and that low score doesn't matter if the tablet is running to my satisfaction. I almost never change my power setting and that means my score is probably around 5300, but I still like how the tablet responds.
Anyways, hope your tablet's running better than before and good luck with any additional tweaking! :victory:

Well.. that's just madness.
No, I was not. I had these other tools and was messing with those.
Might be time to re-flash the kernel again.
