Tamcore KernelPS: This is not my kernel, i'm just in touch with Tamcore and we thought to do this thread on XDA to have a place to talk about it. You can thank me for making this thread happen, but 99.9% of the "thanks" should go to TamCore for the excellent work he does What is the linux kernel ?
The Linux kernel is the operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems. It is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software.[8]
The Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) (plus some firmware images with various non-free licenses), and is developed by contributors worldwide. Day-to-day development discussions take place on the Linux kernel mailing list.
The Linux kernel was initially conceived and created by Finnish computer science student Linus Torvalds in 1991. Linux rapidly accumulated developers and users who adapted code from other free software projects for use with the new operating system. The Linux kernel has received contributions from thousands of programmers. Many Linux distributions have been released based upon the Linux kernel.

Can you explain me CPU governors ? Sure!
LAG FREE
* Lagfree is similar to ondemand. Main difference is it's optimization
* to become more battery friendly. Frequency is gracefully decreased and
* increased, unlike ondemand which jumps to 100% too often. Lagfree does not
* skip any frequency step while scaling up or down. Remember that if there's
* a requirement for sudden burst of power, lagfree can not satisfy that since
* it has to raise cpu through each higher frequency step from current. Some users
* report that video playback using lagfree stutters a little.
INTELLIDEMAND
* Intellidemand aka Intelligent Ondemand from Faux is yet another governor that's
* based on ondemand. Unlike what some usersbelieve, this governor is not the
* replacement for OC Daemon (Having different governors for sleep and awake). The
* original intellidemand behaves differently according to GPU usage. When GPU is
* really busy (gaming, maps, benchmarking, etc) intellidemand behaves like ondemand.
* When GPU is 'idling' (or moderately busy), intellidemand limits max frequency to
* a step depending on frequencies available in your device/kernel for saving battery.
* This is called browsing mode.
SMARTASS V2
* Is a re-working of the original smartass governor, it allows for the CPU to scale
* through all frequencies from the lowest you set to the highest, based on the load
* occuring. Basically it scales CPU based on realtime needs of the system, saV2
* supposedly incorporates some more agressive settings for screen off, and I
* believe quicker scaling than the original smartass.
PEGASUSQ
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24233103&postcount=3
* Maybe someone could write a short summary of this?
ADAPTIVE
* Haven't found anything about it. It's from Intel and hasn't burned up my Sensation.
BADASS
From Showp himself :
Well good question. With ICS I decided to rework my gb badass which never got released because it was always pushed aside. To break down what it is:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 1-2 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)
Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Please remember: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery, lots of it

What are those scheduler you nerds are talking about ?
bfq
* The BFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth among
* all processes according to their weights.
* It aims at distributing the bandwidth as desired, independently of
* the disk parameters and with any workload. It also tries to
* guarantee low latency to interactive and soft real-time
* applications. If compiled built-in (saying Y here), BFQ can
* be configured to support hierarchical scheduling.
sio
* The Simple I/O scheduler is an extremely simple scheduler,
* based on noop and deadline, that relies on deadlines to
* ensure fairness. The algorithm does not do any sorting but
* basic merging, trying to keep a minimum overhead. It is aimed
* mainly for aleatory access devices (eg: flash devices).

Some informations about the tweaks in the kernel
--- USB forced fast charge - Yank555-lu ---
Use sysfs interface to change behaviour :
* /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge (rw)
*
* 0 - disabled (default)
* 1 - substitute AC to USB charging always
* 2 - substitute AC to USB charging only if no USB peripheral is detected
For informational purposes I've also added a read-only sysfs file that indicates the current USB state :
* /sys/kernel/fast_charge/USB_peripheral_detected (ro)
*
* The state will be returned in clear text (Yes/No).
For informational purposes I've also added a read-only sysfs file that indicates the detected USB port type :
* /sys/kernel/fast_charge/USB_porttype_detected (ro)
*
* The port type will be returned in clear text.
For informational purposes I've also added a read-only sysfs file that indicates if fast charge is currently being forced :
* /sys/kernel/fast_charge/is_fast_charge_forced (ro)
*
* The current force state will be returned in clear text (Yes/No).
--- FSync Control - Ezekeel ---
Can be used to disable the fsync system calls for single files and filesystems (echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled). These fsync syscalls are used by kernel modules and user space programs to flush an I/O buffer (which is in RAM) to disk to make sure that this data is actually savely stored on the disk before executing the next step. Disabling fsync can result in data loss on a crash/freeze since the data is still in the I/O buffer and has not been saved to disk as it should be and can also lead to problems due to race conditions if two or more processes access the same file. On the other hand disabling fsync reduces the number of I/O operations which potentially could reduce the battery drain and also improve I/O performance.
--- Wifi Screen-Off Power Management - Francisco Franco ---
This gives you the option to choose between PM_FAST and PM_MAX when your screen is off.
Normally the kernel uses PM_FAST only if the screen is on. But when the screen turns off, it switches to PM_MAX, which slows the wifi down to save battery.
But this can affect streaming applications (i.e. music). Which will result in lower quality audio or disconnects.
echo X > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/wifi_pm
X can be 0 or 1. 0 (default) sets it to PM_MAX, and 1 sets it to PM_FAST.
--- Notification LED duration mod - Yank555-lu ---
* /sys/kernel/notification_leds/off_timer_multiplier (rw)
*
* 0 - Notification LED will blink forever until cleared by user
* 1 - Notification LED will blink as requested by app or until cleared by user (default)
* 2 to 255 - Notification LED will blink as requested by app multiplied by value or until cleared by user

Thank you Bluewall! We can now discuss TamCore's kernel on its own thread.
Thanks for creating this thread Now the kids (and the more intelligent people) got a place to talk

There was a 3.0.43 version put on Tamcore's download site a while back with no descriptors or changes listed.
Was that much different than the 3.0.42 that works so very well? Was it just a test or something? I've been wondering what the deal with that was.
anyone using this on bruces?

It should work. But I'll rebase my kernel someday to intervigil's because his is "more aosp" than faux'.
But the problem is, my todo list is too long and my time is too short.
- (a great) business idea (includes much coding..)
- real life..
- OS2 (both Sensation and Nexus 7; but N7 already has a fully working build)
- TamCore-Kernel rebase
You guys should always keep in mind, that the real life always has priority, because it's the place were most of us earn their money

More caffeine, sleep is for the weak!
You are human (unfortunately), so every now and then something slips between the cracks.
I got a shut down near 40% battery left today. Plugged it in to the charger, and the battery was fully drained. This always happens to me when using faux sense kernels, or faux based AOSP kernels like this one :-\
And if I reboot open sensation, I get a 20-25% more in the battery reading, even though it is having less juice than the readings.
Anyone has gotten this problem too? Happens with my 3 batteries (2 ankers and HTC original)
been using the kernel for half some hours.
seems very stable, great battery life, and no lag during gameplay.
using intellidemand
Kernel updated guys!

Here's a kernel build based on CM7 Kernel Source Tree
Special Shout out to DebauchedSloth for his pull requests and collaboration on this open source project
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in its entirety, I kindly ask you to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON CM7 Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH CM7 Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
ZRAM (aka CompCache aka RAMZSwap)
ZRAM is an updated version formally known as CompCache and RAMZSwap. It was originally designed for 2.6.38.xx kernels, I have backported to our 2.6.35.xx kernel. ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.
Joe's RCU (Optimized for Small SMP systems)
Joe Korty has created an RCU for small SMP systems (> 32 cores). His approach is to isolate all the Garbage Collection (GC, a slow time consuming but necessary processing) to a single core, thus allowing other cores to ONLY work on real required processing. This will allow the additional cores to complete their assigned tasks as fast as possible (not bogged down by GC) then immediately go back to a suspended state (saving battery).
Fast No Hz RCU (Optimized for SMP operations)
Fast NoHz is an optimized version of the traditional Tree RCU. Many new kernels are using the Tickless NoHz design. This RCU is tailored and designed to work with the new NoHz kernel system.
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING to FLASH THIS ON HIS/HER OWN PHONE... IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS YOU SHOULD NOT FLASH THIS.
For those who decide to flash, please post the results and/or issues here

When you say you've added min/max governer not sure what you mean. I'm under the impression that Tegra only uses Performance. When I go into governer setting in pimpmycpu there is no option to change it.
Note: It boots fine with cm7 and BT/wifi work fine. Now to test OC/UV

I don't see why tegra only supports performance... I could be wrong... Governor should be independent of CPU architecture underneath.... Could be a limitation of pimpmycpu...
BTW, Did you try it yet? Did it boot? I am curious....
Just wanted to say I just donated 10.00 hard earned bucks towards your G2X fund Faux!

Yes, for cm7 only.
Ouch....would really love to give these kernels a try...but the stock rom is sick....I anxiously await a stock overclocked kernel....if I had the time and skill I'd have done it myself.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Kernal boots fine for me as well. Noticed a increased in speed @ 1.4GHz
Get the phone already!
Quandrant Results
Original at 1Ghz got a ~2000
Overclocked at 1.4Ghz got a ~2800
I know Quandrant isn't accurate but it's fun.
Damn....u did it first! Nice job congratulations!
This thing absolutely screams at 1.3GHz. I'm not experiencing any new bugs or seeing fixes to old ones. I hope folks will post speeds and voltages that are working for them as our use of this kernel settles into a routine.
bookmarked this thread! might wanna try soon.

NOTICE: This is COMPATIBLE with ALL AOSP/CM7/CM9/OpenSense Based ROMs
(Thanks to Albinoman887, scorp2kk, intervigilium and vorbeth for pull requests and contributions.)
For frequency control use fauxclock from Google Play
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you
Hi XDA members and fellow Sensation users:
This is my eleventh kernel hack. I want to thank Cyanogen, CyanogenMod members, Erasmux, and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON CM7 Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH CM7/AOSP Sensation Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
Joe's RCU (Optimized for Small SMP systems)
Joe Korty has created an RCU for small SMP systems (> 32 cores). His approach is to isolate all the Garbage Collection (GC, a slow time consuming but necessary processing) to a single core, thus allowing other cores to ONLY work on real required processing. This will allow the additional cores to complete their assigned tasks as fast as possible (not bogged down by GC) then immediately go back to a suspended state (saving battery).
Fast No Hz RCU (Optimized for SMP operations)
Fast NoHz is an optimized version of the traditional Tree RCU. Many new kernels are using the Tickless NoHz design. This RCU is tailored and designed to work with the new NoHz kernel system.
SmartAssV2 Governor (Balanced)
This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Interactive Governor (Performance)
This governor is designed to put more priority to User Interface (UI aka Apps) tasks, therefore appears more responsive then the traditional OnDemand governor. So if you want the smoothest UI interaction, this governor is for you...
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.

Low Voltage - Under Volt the processor, therefore uses Less Battery, but NOT ALL CHIPS can handle Under Volt.. If you experience instability, try the Stock Voltage Version.
Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.
There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the Under Volted and Stock Voltage versions!
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...

I have tested this kernel and it runs very smooth, most things so far work. There are a few hiccups but they could also be due to not having kernel source for the cm7 rom yet.
Im not posting screenshots since it scores about the same as sense based roms. Linpack is a bit low but that could be a number of factors. Overall importance is that the rom is smooth and very agile
Wow, you're quick!

For those people who fail @ reading
Thank you!
Thanks a ton for all the work you do. At first I was afraid this phone wasn't going to have much love (I came from Mytouch slide), but I have been overwhelmed by the amount of people that are putting out quality work for it
Prepare to have your thanks button massaged a few times.
I knew you were up to something. Flashing now.
Remember to give THANKS were THANKS is due.
Where is the download link?
Idk? Faux were is the download link?

CM7 Kernel is OUT! Version 012 is the baseline version.
Current CM7 is based on 2.3.3 Binary Blobs, so only up to my version 012 is compatible with it. Once CM7 decides to move to 2.3.4 binary blobs, then I will apply my 013 and 014 patches to the kernel.
Enjoy and have fun.. Now let's post some amazing benchmarks!
Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed 1.78 then thermal patch. Rebooted. Getting constant reboots shortly after ADW EX finishes loading. Won't stop.
man, tonight just keeps on getting better and better lol first we get cm7, then xboarder fixes his AOSP rom due to cm7 , then faux comes out with a cm7/AOSP OC kernel... this phone just became the best out , easily.

hm... my beta tester has tested with 1.78 GHz version and verified that essential capabilities were working correctly.

I tried the 1.78 and worked but bootlooped during cf bench, odd because I have been able to run the 1.78 kernels before but we shall see. I'll be testing heavily tonight.
Edit: Okay she's running just fine on 1.5 so maybe my phone cant handle 1.78.......anymore ....??

I don't doubt it. All phones are different. With this 1.78, my phone would freeze and reboot after ADW finished loading, but all of your 1.78 versions worked perfectly for me on Melvin's Beast ROM. Trying 1.56 now.

Help & FAQ
THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks
BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:
Code:
1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
NO FAST CHARGE
If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
I will not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Three choices:
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT
OR
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue
Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video (thanks @aldoblaga )
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
Code:
lsmod

F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore

STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Battery
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61579949&postcount=202
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

Great kernel. Very good performance and battery life. Haven't had the random reboot issue but then again I only charge at night while sleeping.
Will flash new update tonight.
Thanks again for your work.

I just installed this v1.5b kernel... I will give feedback tomorrow night sometime and let you know how it runs for me.
Thanks for all your hard work on this @UpInTheAir
This kernel run great on t-mobile variant but I can't call anyone...it lags while trying to call someone and once they pick up neither side can hear anything.

Can users please follow the development thread protocols and try a few things first. Example is top of Post #3 which you all would have read. I don't use your device variant, so I can't test the exact kernel build, neither can I read minds.
At the very least, details of your ROM and firmware need to be posted so others can give feedback on what is working and not.
Myself, have no issue on SM-N920C (H4 firmware), and with minmial searching found this piece of info from arter97. it may be applicable, maybe not.

You will need more feedback here so others may help build a BIGGER picture.

I kind of feel bad for you bro. If you expect these people to read I think your gonna be disappointed ?. Xda no longer makes people read or search. They all expect things handed to them. This is the majority these days. The old school guys is a dying breed.

No issues with that here. Followed all instructions (DUH) and no issues so far. Had one random reboot but that was because I accidentally OC and hit apply without realizing it, lol.

True that. It's getting harder and harder to type the same thing over and over again. They just don't want to fend for themselves.

Ehm... hello everyone
Our phone is quite a little powerful beast, but Xiaomi really made a crappy job on optimizing it, right?
After unlocking the bootloader I felt the need to go back to my roots and get my hands dirty to fix the wrongs in the kernel they released. The phone felt slow and heavy, the battery barely lasted a day. I use my phone for my job and I need to be snappy, stable and last way more than a day. So I started tweaking, digging and experimenting and the result is this kernel that I'm releasing today, in an attempt to make our MI9SE a bit better for all those people who actually use this phone... as a phone...
This kernel is GSI / AOSP only. Don't flash it on Miui based roms unless you are suicidal or want to lose some features, in which case you're free to do as you please and I'm free to ignore your posts, right?
There will be, from time to time, experimental/unstable versions that I release for public testing (usually they're not harmful, but... ehm.... ok you get it) so watch out for the second post if you feel brave and want to be on the bleeding edge. Official kernels are released when the beta testing phase is done and 100% of the feedback is positive.
Don't ask for ETA or you'll be fish slapped... badly! Ignore this warning only in case a nasty bug slips in the release, then you can fish slap me
Ok, enough talk, let's get down to business now.
Features
* Compiled in release mode (all debug stripped)
* Removed all auditing
* Disabled modules support to avoid interference from Xiaomi vendor
* Battery friendly, performance aware
* DT2W support. If disabled the display and touchscreen will power down
* 3G modem small optimizations
* K-Lapse 5.0 support (thanks to tanish2k09 for this awesome piece of code)
* Flicker Reduction via heavily modified Exposure Adjustment module from Sony
* Boeffla Wakelock Blocker pre-configured to block most of the bad boys
* BFQ and CFQ I/O Schedulers
* Adreno Idler support (your gpu will thank me)
* Westwood TCP congestion algorithm enabled by default (and a lot more enabled)
* Support for NTFS (read only)
* Support for F2FS
* And loads more... yeah just ask or check my github
Q & A
Q: Battery !!! Why it's so baaaad ! My phone doesn't sleep !!!
A: Well, don't get it badly, it's not really my problem, is it ? 99.999% is an app you have installed that's preventing deep sleep... go ahead and install BetterBatteryStats, check the Partial Wakelocks and se what's killing your phone. Have fun
Q: App X crashes ! OMG all my data is gone !!!
A: Read again on top, not my fault, sorry. I try my best to give out a stable kernel, but "**** happens" and i can't control it...
Q: I get tons of bsods, my phone doesn't wake up from sleep, it freezes and omg... it just exploded !!!
A: No dmesg / logcat, no party. And please don't post messages like those in the thread if you're not ready to attach a log to the post.
Q: When will you enable gpu overclock, road runner speed mode or wile e. coyote immortality ?
A: Never... on a second thought... maybe... who knows ?
Q: When will you release the new version ? It's a week we're using the old one !!
A: Is it stable ? Then please allow me to fish slap you with a huge trout !
Downloads
All downloads for Kowalski Kernel will be linked in the second post AND in the thread when a new version is released and a changelog will be filed accordingly.
The downloads are labeled as "kowalski-XY-grus" where X can be either "r" for release or "b" for beta. Y is the version number. Eg: kowalski-r1.4-grus is a release, while kowalski-b4-grus is a beta version.
Source will be pushed to my github about 2 or 3 days after a release (or before if I'm not careful), to make sure that no major bugs are introduced in the public repository. You can find the magic code here
This kernel can be compiled with any clang 4.9.x that supports the aarch64-linux-gnu target, so if you want to compile it by yourself you'll have either to build your own toolchain, or use one of the many prebuilt ones (for example from aosp).
Please don't rip-off my work. Please don't kang this kernel. Please don't c&p from my github without proper credit. I'm a nice guy, but i will report you.
Little code of conduct for my threads is necessary: no drama, no OT. Oh and please don't message me on Telegram privately when we have this awesome platform where everyone can benefit from the Q&A.
Thanks
* Okita for the awesome job she made on the base kernel cleanup (this kernel is based on one of her first releases)
* Linus, well, for the linux kernel
* francescod for taking the risks of testing possibly harmful pre-releases
* qualcomm, because codeaurora is awesome!
* osm0sis, the one who allowed us mortals to provide flashable kernels without pain
Oh, I was almost forgetting... on a side note... i'm not really responsible if you decide to test it and your phone melts... right ?

* /sys/devices/platform/soc/soc:qcom,[email protected]/msm_fb_ea_elvss_off_treshold (the brightness threshold under which the system is enabled)
Wow, finally a full battery and features oriented kernel. Great to see it for our little beast. And with no Miui support
I hope you don't fall in modern famous useless stuff as Overclock/Overvolting Cpu-Gpu and Overclocking display. Grus doesn't need it at all, at least now.
I'd like to thank you of course, for all of your hard work done. It was a pleasure to help just a little with testing!
After many test of various configurations I've come to these stable settings useful only if you're searching for some more battery juice, so, no high demanding games at all! Performances on daily light use, seem to me like the same as with stock values.
Cpu Governor: Blu_Schedutil
Freq small cores: 576-1516MHz
Freq big cores: 300-1536MHz
wq_power_saving: enabled
Gpu Governor: Simple_ondemand
Freq: 180-267MHz
Adreno Idler: active (should work only on MsmAdreno Governor, but I like to see it enabled anyway)
I/O scheduler: Maple
Readahead 384kb
Fsync: disabled
Tcp congestion algorithm: bbr or westwood
To maximize even more the battery saving use black/dark grey apps as much as possible, use the right brightness, turn off any fancy features as AOD, FOD, AmbientDisplay, PocketMode, every unused sensors, install AdAway, Greenify, use 2G when in Wi-Fi or 2G/3G/4G on mobile connection and pray for someone :cyclops:
All of these settings are fine on my device with my personal use and my personal apps, so, don't complain about bad behavior on your phone.
Which what GSI are you using your kernel? I'm on PE but it will be snappy to have your same experience... :fingers-crossed:

Hey there, at the moment I'm on Floko because I need stability. Using it with latest xiaomi.eu vendor/firmware blobs and all is good so far
I know people using this on crDroid or Havok and no problems or issues are known so far.
Stupid question: What is different / advantage against Okita kernel?
I'm glad to see new and new kernels and ROMs for 9 SE. Thank you @pengus77
Does it work in miui rooms? Thanks

This is a fully debloated Kernel from Miui/useless/redundant stuff, so, for an only custom roms lover as me, it's perfect.
K-Lapse, Adreno Idler, unlocked frequencies and flickering reduction are the main visible points, with ofc more under the hood. I left OkitaKernel when it was perhaps on v4 build, so check it out what's changed recently on it.
While they're born from the same base, each Dev makes own customization, so it's up to you to try them both and choose the one who satisfies you better.
Finally I wanna thank again @okitavera for her dedication. Probably without her kernel I wouldn't have bought the 9 SE so fast :highfive:
@pengus77
I flashed your kernel ... is it working but after every restart I give this message: "Device has an internal problem. Contact the manufacturer for more information." Is it problém with firmware / vendor?

Hi, yeah, it's absolutely normal and harmless. It's a standard thing Android *****es about on GSIs when the kernel is too "stripped" and can't neither debug it nor load modules and/or there is a mismatch between system and vendor props. Search for that message in XDA and you'll see that tons of people have the same "issue". It's nothing to worry about, the system will work just fine.
Some ROMs are more strict than others. I know Floko says that, while Havok doesn't.
Roger that - I will be keep testing.

Kernel have in default min 576 MHz - is it so intentionally? Otika was 300 MHz if I'm not wrong. Doesn't this have a negative effect on higher consumption?

It's just the default to keep it a bit more responsive. Little technical explanation follows: When the phone is in suspend, the cores are disabled and the cpu goes in low power state, so the frequency doesn't really matter. When in active use, the energy and time required to reach a target frequency (when boosting on touch for example) is pretty high. Having a tiny higher min frequency actually lowers the power needed when a boost is required and the time to reach the target frequency is lower. When idling the energy consumption between 576 and 300 is basically the same and doesn't impact the battery life.
Of course the frequencies are unlocked, so you can set it back down to 300 if you feel more comfortable with it
Beta Release [ b1.5a ]
In the releases page on my github (and in the second post) I just pushed a little beta release.
Thanks @fereidooni for finding out a nasty bug occurring during hard memory copy operations .Will fix it soon, in the meantime ignore this version.
Changes:
* Adopted a drastically more power-efficient and reduced IOMMU implementation (your battery will say thank you)
* Cleaned up a few things (this will never end I think... sigh...)
* Disabled the MSM Performance min frequency override. Now YOU decide, not qualcomm.
Have fun

introduction:
welcome to my kernel, here i provide you with unique stuff related to stability and performance like none seen in other kernels. my kernel brings new features never seen in any other kernel for s20fe, stability and performance is my motto
Instructions:
Assuming you have a custom recovery installed, simply download and flash the kernel zip. This kernel uses Anykernel 3 so no need to reflash magisk(if you use magisk) after installing it.
compiled with lasted ZyC clang 17
and beta build with GCC 13.0.1
S20 FE Modding group: https://t.me/S20FeModding
kernel group: https://t.me/klimbokernel
works on both models : G780G/G781B ONLY!!

do you want to learn how to compile my kernel? look at my thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...el-for-s20-fe-snapdragon-may-28-2022.4451267/
Changelog:
Klimbobuzz v2.7 changes :
compiler :
*compiled with latest clang 17.0.0
and beta build with GCC 13.0.1 klimbo is the first to relase with this gcc (you can find it in download at beta build folder)
*some compiler tweaks for more performance
*kernel renamed to KlimboBuzz
•GPU:
*OC UP TO 935MHz SUPER STABLE
*Optimized all GPU voltages. using only those that are most efficient at the temperature in general
*Adreno boost enable by default:
•CPU SCHEDULERS:
•Ondemand (default) tuned for more performance and less temperature
*fully removed schedutil (I think anyone using klimbo is looking for performance not a balanced kernel)
•CPU:
*Tuned cpu cores for more performance instead of battery savings
*A few more minimal optimizations that help sustain performance
*Change default thermal GOV to USER_SPACE (USER_SPACE Is a good thermal menager Because it reduces the throttling consequently benefiting for a considerable performance gain)
*Disable WQ Power efficient (WQ efficient is useless in a performance based kernel since when enabled It causes a loss of performance in Exchange for minimal battery
rest as in previous builds
Klimbokernel v5.0 features :
compiled with ZyC clang 16 (lasted)
-add and enable adreno boost
-added new I/O sched drivers like : ZEN, FIOPS, MAPLE, ANXIETY etc..
-more undervolt on GPU

GCC is more optimized for battery, so the phone won't heat up as much, now Clang is more optimized for performance and the phone will heat up a little more but nothing crazy.
You're welcome.

I already approved the kernel.
currently try 3 different kernels(counting this one)
1.it allows me to modify and lower and raise the frequencies to my liking. no matter how you do it, the kernel respects it.
2.another kernel did not allow me to modify anything, I selected a frequency and it automatically modified itself. (I hate this kernel)
3.the kernel of this post.
is a combination of both:
I can modify only the maximum frequencies (I am not interested in moving the minimum ones, I have no problems with them)
I only have problems with the frequency of the GPU
It is activated at 932 mhz, it never goes above 490 mhz
no matter how much stress the team.
It is normal ?

About gpu
You should check if adreno boost is enabled by default, If yes, at which level, if at level 1 (Low) then this is the problem Because adreno boost locks Max frequency depending on its use and also the setting selected by the user
snapdragon teaks said:
Acerca de gpu
Debe verificar si adreno boost está habilitado de forma predeterminada. En caso afirmativo, en qué nivel, si está en el nivel 1 (bajo), entonces este es el problema. Porque adreno boost bloquea la frecuencia máxima según su uso y también la configuración seleccionada por el usuario.

Is rare.
send the screenshot.
I have to activate minimum frequency at 932 mhz.
I would like it to be scaled.
Try some bench apps like, 3dmark, Geekbench, Antutu, etc. Also Use the CPU float app you can find it in the playstore.. open CPU float and open bench apps start the test and check if the frequency goes up to 932MHz

use antutu.
the score was very low.
once I set the frequency to 932mhz as a minimum.
I was surprised.
