Public Beta testing now open for WildKernel - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

As some of you may know, I've been working on a custom kernel for ICS/JB and its about done (for a first release). Current kernel features include: (If feature begins with a * then check below for more information)
Compatible with all AOSP ICS & JB roms
rebased to CAF Linux 3.0.40 kernel
Built in Low-memory killer w/ Fugeswap (as seen in the v6 Supercharger)
Optimized ram usage/handling (Swap & Zram)
Increased Wi-fi connectivity range
*Low & High power Wi-fi scaling steps
*Badass Governor (Default)
Lazy Governor
Imported Snapdragon optimizations used by the Sensation (Thanks Romanbb)
Lagfree Governor
Fast charging for unknowns
HIGHLY Tweaked for the perfect battery life and performance
Updated Bluetooth code from CAF
V(R), simple, deadline, noop, and CFQ I/O schedulers
*Ondemand & Intelli(gent)demand Governor
Stable Undervolting of the CPU
increased SDcard readahead speed
Tweaked Flashlight
Added more clock steps to the GPU for compatibility with low power browsing and GPU OC @ 320 mhz
I think 6 testers should be enough for now, thanks for participating
If you wish to join in this this beta testing please feel free to shoot me a PM or hit me up on GTalk @ [email protected]

More information:
Badass Governor: This governor has built in profiling (like used in SetCPU but not as battery & Ram consuming). This is also the default and highly recommended governor. This governor features a 3 phase system CPU profiling system. This will change your CPU speed based on usage. This saves a lot of power as your speed doesn't just keep at one clock no matter how much your using you phone. A similiar profiling system is also used for the GPU and such.
Ondemand and Intellidemand Governor: Intellidemand is based off the Ondemand governor but features a 2 phase CPU profiling system with some added tweaks.
Wi-fi Low and High power scaling steps: This is a feature that will determine whether to use High or low power voltages on the Wi-fi chip to save battery. eg: Wi-fi will be turned to low power when idle or screen off. Wifi will be turned to high power when actively in use or in progress of a download. Take note that high power wi-fi voltage isn't necessarily "High" power but more of just "Stock HTC" power.

sorry for the delay, Ive been troubleshooting battery issues which started after upgrading past 3.0.30, im thinking about downgrading back to that version to see if the problem persists

Battery issues are nothing new with the latest kernel commits. Just take a stroll through the CM9 thread
Honestly, I've seen better battery life on the old 2.6 kernel

ALL SOURCE CAN BE FOUND HERE
I am proud to announce Savage-Kernel to the xda forms. This kernel is worked from the latest cm unified kernel; undervolted, HAVS with the SBC mod.
SENSE BASED ROMS NOT SUPPORTED THIS IS FOR AOSP ROM'S ONLY
According to ms79723 we are the first AOSP kernel to have the latest SBC mod with the new voltage and A/C AND USB trickle charging
So far the Kernel works great in conservative governor. which all the devs prefer.
Devs:
luisrcastillo (co-creator)
jsseidel1 (co-creator)
Credits:
toastcfh/cyanogen/cyanogen dev's --> the cm base kernel!!
ms79723 --> the SBC mod.

Sounds good. I'm working hard this morning on HAVS and governors... Luis was up all night getting the first private beta. Looking for about 5 testers that run AOSP roms to test. Barnacles is going to already, once Luis gets up we need to review the apps that came in... we should release a public by Thursday. Maybe tomorrow depending on the feedback from the private testers.

it will be, we just want to make a good first beta, future betas will be released right away. if our testers today give us good feedback and are very responsive... we will release the 1st public beta tomorrow, and then it will be norm... We dont get a picky about testing as snap. Zendroid doesnt release betas until he's done private testing, just we announced before the 1st public release.
All: Private beta testing is closed... we got enough guys already, got bombarded with requests this morning. Appreciate all the intrest, hopefully the users we selected will get us feedback asap so we can get out the public beta
BTW beta 1 so far getting 1435 on quadrant in gingerbread.

No, you dont it defaults to conservative. you have to use SetCPU to change your min.max

Yes the trickle charge (SBC) has nothing to do with SetCPU. the BETA 1 only have a/c trickle so the USB charge will be normal. the next release will have the USB trickle as well. Make sure you charge it at least 30min after it says fully charged the first time.

off the bat your battery life will be great, and speed will be alot snappier. Overclock for a safe speed boost, but its not required.

I'm going to test it with CM 6.1.1

Well, the first thing I noticed is I got my USB icon back, but it says that "There was a problem turning off USB...". Whenever I click on it, it kills the status bar.
That may be a problem with the ROM itself though, as everytime I reboot, I get "SD Card unexpectedly removed" error. The Kernel seems smooth as silk though after initial boot, and I will report back on battery life later.

[KERNEL]CM-Enigma [BFS][SLQB][VDD][1.8ghz]v 1.3.2

I've compiled a kernel for Cyanogenmod 7 that OC's up to 1.8ghz (along with a few other tweaks I forgot about). Just use setCPU. It's pretty much Kali-'s kernel, but with a few minor config changes that I just had to enable. If you feel the need to donate, please donate to Kali- as I just changed around a few files. A few more tweaks will come around as soon as I have spare time (school's a b*tch sometimes and I have a tattooing apprenticeship to juggle). Just request what you guys want for the next version and I'll do my best to add it.
Thanks to Kali- and the rest of the cyanogenmod team for creating our port, and to everyone who helped them out. Hope I'm not violating anything by posting this.

[KERNEL] - [DEV] - [AOSP] - WildKernel Public Beta testing ver003 - [Sep 8]

WildKernel
As some of you may know, I've been working on a custom kernel for ICS/JB and its about done (for a first release).
Also I was previously planning on a beta testing for a selected few, but I released I won't have enough time to be hosting testing sessions, so how about this. The kernel is know free to use for the public, but all I ask is that your report and compare. I'd like to see if there's improvement or loss between the A6 kernel and this (battery, performance, etc.). Also please report anything good and bad so that I know what to keep and what not to keep for a final release. This also helps me push out fixes faster when presented with lots of information.
Current kernel features include: (If feature begins with a * then check below for more information)
Universal kernel compatible with all AOSP (NOT SENSE) ICS & JB roms
rebased to CAF (custom) Linux 3.0.39 kernel
Optimized Built in Low-memory killer w/ Fugeswap (as seen in the v6 Supercharger)
Optimized ram usage/handling (Swap & Zram)
Increased Wi-fi connectivity range
*Low & High power Wi-fi scaling steps
*Badass Governor
Lazy Governor
Imported Snapdragon optimizations used by the Sensation (Thanks Romanbb)
Lagfree Governor
Fast charging for unknowns and when plugged in to computers
HIGHLY Tweaked for the perfect battery life and performance
Bluetooth code from CAF
V(R), simple, deadline, noop, and CFQ I/O schedulers
*Ondemand & Intelli(gent)demand Governor
Stable Undervolting of the CPU
increased SDcard readahead speed
Tweaked Flashlight
Added more clock steps to the GPU for compatibility with low power browsing and GPU OC @ 320 mhz
Please wipe cache and dalvik cache
I dont suggest using SetCPU as it may cause bugs such as reboots, use CM or AOKP's built in cpu speed feature
Download Universal flasher for ICS and JBhttp://www.mediafire.com/download.php?q9bhv68k8dvai13
(Flashable for S-ON coming tomorrow when I have time)
You may find my source hosted @ Github

Sorry wild, can't get it booting. Been trying forever. I'll redownload again when I get home.
P.s: it boots, but it goes right into a reboot after I hit homescreen. I don't think I can use alogcat to pull one, so I'll have to wait till I get back to my computer. Perhaps a dmesg a well.
You also plan on making something for sense ROMs?
If not would you mind if I grab your patches and implement it to a more enhanced virtuous kernel?

well im on my computer. the error (though im no expert) seems to be here
if you need the full logcat let me know and i'll try grab it again. that's the error going on right when the homescreen gets laggy on boot, right before it reboots.
i don't know if this is important to you, but this is what i get in logcat right before reboot
I'm sure i followed directions. I hope I'm not doing something wrong.
Edit: yep. Definitely not an expert. So it stopped rebooting after I unchecked "set on boot" under performance. Will be reporting back.

No, I'm running cm 9.1.0. Under settings > performance > cpu settings or whatever it is, if you have set on boot checked, the phone runs funny. I unchecked it in a desperate attempt to figure out what's going on, and it's been pretty stable ever since.

Can't we just extract the zImage from the universal kernel flasher, rename it boot.img, and flash? I thought they were analogous...
Edit: I tried it. Didn't work. "Boot Magic check failed". Guess I was thinking of Samsung devices. Bummer, I really wanted to try this.
Ok after a 10 minute self lesson on kernel kitchen I managed to compile a boot.img. Booted right up but I had nofrills with an "apply on boot" setting which screwed me over. Severe lag. I managed to access that app in slow motion and deselect the apply on boot nonsense. Now we are in business
Don't forget to uncheck all governor apply on boot settings before flashing! Also, on first boot go to a view CPU frequency place on your phone so you can wait until the phone settles before rebooting/doing stuff. Takes a little longer than you would expect.
So far the performance seems good, I'll report back on battery life later.
Edit: 3 consecutive reboots during 3 consecutive calls. Switching back to 3.0.30 (A5) for now. Since I didn't flash this officially I'd take this experience with a grain of salt but it is similar to what ekoee is reporting so IDK.
Hi xmc! Not that I question the knowledge of the senior htc community developers here but this battery issue I am facing with ROMs like virtuous is already nagging me out.
Now compiled yours and shocked that it also has the battery bug.(The not going to 100% bug)
So I decided to really look up the battery driver carefully awhile ago and noticed something strange in it. I noticed this days ago and thought this was ok but thought I would stand up and ask today.
In
arch/arm/mach-msm/htc_battery_8x60.c
htc_batt_get_battery_info

Seems like the batt_discharg_current is making my battery report less than the real value so I'd like to know why is the calculation like that?
I'm sorry for asking but I think you're the only developer on doubleshot who is approachable enough for me to ask to.

Hi xmc! Not that I question the knowledge of the senior htc community developers here but this battery issue I am facing with ROMs like virtuous is already nagging me out.
Now compiled yours and shocked that it also has the battery bug.(The not going to 100% bug)
So I decided to really look up the battery driver carefully awhile ago and noticed something strange in it. I noticed this days ago and thought this was ok but thought I would stand up and ask today.
In
arch/arm/mach-msm/htc_battery_8x60.c
htc_batt_get_battery_info
Could you tell me why calculation of battery is like this?
instead of this?

I'll take a look once I get home. Lol and just to be clear, i'm not the only dev for the DS. We got Blue6IX, jeffakajeff, strapped365, tbalden, Riyal , kornyone, and nbetcher. (Dont kick my a$$ if I skipped your name )
Flashed this with a fresh install of your JB ROM. Phone is really laggy when waking from screen off for a few seconds but then its ok. I'll look more in to this but thats what I'm seeing so far.
Flashing over CM 9.1 now, will test it out and report back with results. Really hope this takes care of the battery drain issue in 9.1.

[Kernel][ICS] TFQ Scorched Kernel ICS v1.0.29 (2012-12-21)

Team Fah-Q Presents...
Scorched Kernel for Blaze ICS v1.0.29
Built with the Linaro Toolchain v4.7, the purpose of this kernel is to fix bugs, add features, add performance, and hopefully save some battery where possible. However, battery life will most likely not be as good as stock, since the device is overclocked and DVFS (dynamic frequency and voltage scaling) is turned off. I have done my very best to squeeze every ounce of battery life out of this device.
It includes a brand new CPU Governor called Scorched, developed by me and based on the lagfree governor. It focuses on saving power and reducing the usage of the higher CPU frequencies unless necessary, while still keeping responsiveness and performance intact.
The kernel should work with any ROM that is derived from the stock Samsung ICS release IMM76D.LH5, however I recommend using it with the Tweaked ROM, as that is what I develop it against.
This is a kernel several months in the making. Hope you like it
It is STRONGLY advised to do a full nandroid backup in CWM before installing the kernel,
as the installer will overwrite kernel modules in /system/lib/modules. You've officially been warned
NOTE: This thread is reserved for bug reports, logcats, and other development related discussion. General discussion, questions, etc should be posted in this thread​Kernel Features

FAQ
FAQ
What is the Scorched CPU Governor?
The Scorched CPU governor is rather similar to the lagfree governor both in its source code and its purpose. The difference is that while lagfree seeks to give performance-on-demand by increasing immediately to the maximum CPU frequency, Scorched jumps immediately to a mid-point frequency and then gracefully increases or decreases the CPU frequency as required. This provides both performance-on-demand as well as extended battery life.
multi core support
is there anyway of changing it to were we have multi core support ( in regards to offlining 2nd 3rd etc cores ) to save battery by chance cause some other kernels ive tested have that capability if i knew how to do so myself ( im slowly learning with massive reprocussions lol ) but would that be possible at all
awesome finally some scorchness for the blaze

Many thanks for your hard work.
However I've been using this kernel for a couple of days now with tweaked 2.1, and deleted battery stats but my battery life is really poor.
I've left the system essentially in standby for several full charge cycles but I only get 10 hours with next to no use, if lucky.
With stock kernel and Blz3r v3 and with heavy usage I would easily get 14 hours.
I'm still going to keep on using it and characterizing it and hope it gets better.

Not sure what to tell you. I've attached an image with my stats on it. That's 7 hours, mostly standby, dropping 30%, with wifi calling, exchange sync, gmail sync all on.

In my own testing, I have found that it is often worse to turn off a core completely, than to aim for a lower clock speed on both active cores. My theory is that the increase of speed with multithreading speeds up processing over the single corr, thus staying at a higher frequency for less time.
Just a personal observation.
I'm New
I'm sorry if i sound like an idiot, but Does this work on the stock ICS rom? I'm rooted btw
and does it support undervolting?
Thank you, Very stable and responsive kernel. Only issue I've had after installing the kernel is that when I try to send an app from play.google.com to my phone it doesn't show up. I can still install from within the phone itself just not website to phone, not sure if it's related to this Kernel or not but started after flashed it.
Again I'm not 100% positive that it's related so will need to do some more testing...

That's about right for the benchmark. I'm considering going a slightly different route with the kernel that may reduce performance a bit but should up battery life significantly.
Sick 2 year old at home so I've had limited time to play, unfortunately.

Hope your 2 year old gets well soon. Yes sacrificing a bit of performance to up the battery is definitelyitly worth it. Also seems like your scorched will outilizelize 384 and above, not sure how much battery can be saved but basic call functions and such can perfectly work on 192Mhz

does this work on pacman rom 4.1.2 for the blaze please respond quickly my current kernel is random rebooting and this worked when i was on stock rom
No its for ICS

[Kernel][DEV aboot ONLY] Nougat kernels [kltevzw]

Hi everybody!
I'm new to the Verizon S5, but I followed the great bootloader unlocking thread and decided to make some custom roms and kernels. So, this is my kernel thread.
I've been building for the S4 and the Note Edge, so I hope you don't mind if I step in here. I'm not trying to step on anyone else's toes, and I hope you all don't mind another developer hanging around.
You can find all my work at https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser when I get a chance to get it uploaded. I live in Alaska and do have limited and slow internet, so please be patient.
See post #2 for Nougat kernels.
Nougat kernels:
Right now I only have one built:
AOKP 7.1.2 - Tested on a Verizon S5, this kernel can be flashed on any KLTE phone.

-Over Clock for the CPU and GPU
-I/O schedulers
-Change boost settings
- and more!
great work .
Ive been asking around about this , there was a thread that ported a backtrack/kali for the s5 and that kernel had the feature of controling the tx and rx of the phone, i dont know if you could include those commits in yours as well for LOS and also if that could be applied to the tx and rx of the modem to boost reception of signal for 4G....that's if its possible.
Looking foward to the next updates.

Quick update, new kernel, praise God, it even works!
Overclocked to 2533 MHz without increasing voltage.
I had to reset my cellular settings after flashing this, however, I am using my Verizon phone on an AT&T network through Straight Talk, so I'm not sure if that matters. But after a reset of the cell settings, data started working just fine for me.
My kernels tend to be more battery oriented than performance, but I like to overclock a little without increasing the voltage to get the most bang for the buck. Enjoy!

now since it overclocks maybe now you can attempt to undervolt it and the gpu to the bare minimum that it will allow without it freezing and rebooting ( even better battery life) , on the other kernels ive tried i was able to get it to stay at a -125mv but had to bring the cpu frequency down to 1400'S or 1200's some users said that -100 at stock frequency was stable so mayby for your kernel a -90mv with the overclock is def possible. sadly we still can undervolt or overclock the gpu as well
Actually, my plan is to add voltage control to the kernel, so you can adjust it to any level you want. I just finished adding that option to the Galaxy S4, including the GPU, and hope to do the same here.

Added @ktoonsez voltage control! Credit goes to him for the code. I just added it to the kernel.
You can control this in Kernel Adiutor, but remember, adjusting voltages can be dangerous and may alter the space time continuum of your phone.

WOW!!! testing now , pretty much for me i play one game pretty much all day , so def will test now and report back if any issues occured during the time period.
also my question is , do you see any possibilities of gpu voltage control?
also do include the kcal v2 for the screen (rgb) calibration. to properly dim the blacks and pop up colors.
if you keep this up , seriously hands down your kernel will turn-out to be the best kernel for the S5 , especially since you are putting in new feaures that the other kernels don't have. I mean a gpu overclock , i dont think no other dev have accomplished that.

Well, actually @ktoonsez has a kernel that over clocked the GPU much higher than me. However, my focus is on over clocking without increasing voltage.
As for voltage control for the GPU, I hope so.
I will look into kcal v2? I was thinking of adding @faux123 fauxsound next.
Most of the work I do is piggy backed off of great work from people like ktoonsez, Faux123, and @javelinanddart, so I can't take much credit. Thanks for the kind words though!
