Hi,
A new voltage control and CPU adjuster app is in the city...
For root users, this app allows to create and automatize CPU and GPU via a profiles manager.
For non root users, you're able to get information about the CPU (governor, speeds, etc).
You can define profiles that contains:
- CPU governor
- Max CPU Frequency
- Min CPU Frequency
- Enable/Disable cores in dual/quad cores (if kernel supports)
- CPU voltages for all frequencies (if kernel supports)
- I/O Scheduler
- GPU frequencies, voltages, stay on and thresholds (if kernel supports)
- Charger voltages (if kernel supported)
- Governor parameter tweaks
You can define profiles that are automatically activated on these conditions:
- Battery low
- Temperature higher
- Screen on/off
- Charging
- Connected to PC
- Voice call started
- Active application
Also, you can view CPU information, like times in state, governor max/min speed and much more.
XDA title page (Dec, 2 2012): http://www.xda-developers.com/android/manage-your-cpu-with-cpu-adjuster/
Used permissions
- Write external storage: To backup profiles
- Receive boot completed: To automatically start service on boot (enable in settings)
- Read phone state: To automatically detect voice call start/stop
- Get tasks: To get active task (in order to correctly apply profiles that depends on the active task)
- Internet: Added small ads (via google ads)
- Billing: For donation control (you can purcharse PRO version inside the app)
- Battery stats: Needed to show the screen on time and battery up time
If you've troubles or issues, please, send a logcat.
Free version includes Ads, is limited to 3 profiles and isn't capable to make backup of your settings.
You can buy the full version inside the app in order to remove Ads and get full app capabilities.
Please, is the app doesn't works (partially or totally) send a message to [email protected] or post in this thread.

Hello,
Great app, thanks.
Default profile seems not automatically activated on boot.
I need to activate it manually even with check box "enable on boot" checked.
Behavior like "voltage control" app, automatic apply with countdown on notification to abort before apply if needed would be great.
Thanks

Default profile still not activated after boot.
Could you add mV on cpu main screen (there is enough space for it and it's convenient to be able to check without the need to expand the box)
Charge page typo. Replace mV by mA.
Hi, ran into missing files error as well. This is the file initialization log file. Am on Slimbean 3.

Kersian beat me to it! I also was running Slim Bean 3.0.
I still have something for you. I tried it on Android 4.2 and still get a missing file error. I attached the logcat as requested, and the file output by the app itself tells us about the same missing file mentioned by Kersian.
BTW, in the warning popup at the beginning, if you want to be consistent with similar popups from other apps, we should read "Don't show anymore" and not "Doesn't show anymore".
Keep up the good work and let me know too if you want the french translations!

[APP][Jul 20th][1.28.2] "NoFrills" CPU Control: configure cpu frequencies & governor
Hi,
I've made a very simple application which can be used to set cpu scaling frequencies and governor. Yeah, imagine SetCPU without profiles, minimal use of RAM, released as open source, and requiring CyanogenMod (or any sysfs-enabled ROM). "No frills" is the right description for it. Source is released under the Apache License, version 2.0, but the resources (i.e.: icons) are released under their original license. The notification icon is mine and is proprietary. This should avoid further market scams.
I've been using it on my Dream and from the start I wanted to "give back" to the community. I asked in CyanogenMod's forum if there was interest for an inclusion into the official Mod, but I got no answers from the team.
Recently, NLJ has been working on a CMPart page for the CPU settings for CM7, so does this put the final nail in the coffin of this app?
I guess it depends on whether CM6 (and lower) will get the CPU settings page and whether people find it useful..
Looks like some people are finding it useful.
Problem is: I'm currently calling it "CyanogenMod CPU Governor" (yeah, boring) and I'm using CyanogenMod icon for it. Since it won't be included I feel like I should find a different name and icon, and this is where the community could give back ... or get a plain "Market" icon and "GUI for cpufreq settings" name.
Market links
No-frills CPU (2.1+, ICS look & feel)
No-frills CPU CLASSIC (1.6+, simple/plain look & feel)
If you don't want to use (or can't use) Google's Play Store, it's available through F-Droid.org
Source code
It's now available on GitHub.
Features
- Easy GUI to set frequencies and governor.
- "safety valve" to avoid boot-loops in case of unsafe settings (more info in the FAQ)
- Stats screen to see the effective usage of frequencies

FAQ
Q: What files do I need?
A: Download the .apk and install it the way you prefer. The .zip is not a flashable zip and is meant for other developers.
Q: I am a ROM cook, can I put your app in my ROM?
A: Sure do! Just contact me and I'll send you the latest .apk. Be sure to make it so that people will get market updates.
Q: Do you plan on adding profiles? I'd love to select a different profile for when my screen is off!
A: Short answer is "No". I think that profiles are useless, because that's what governors are already: a profile for your CPU to follow while changing frequencies.
Adding profiles would mean adding the need for more memory, the need to run more often, check if something is happening (screen on, screen off and so on)... all of this without a real benefit.
Q: What is the safety valve you added in 1.3?
A: If you enable "Apply on boot", the "safety valve" works this way: the app checks if your phone didn't shut down properly or either a file named /data/.nocpu or /sd-ext/.nocpu exists.
If this is the case, the values are not applied to avoid a "reboot-loop".
Please note that there are some apps on the market which claim to perform a faster reboot but what they do is like pulling out the battery! Now... do you think it's a proper shut down? I guessed so...
Q: Wait, what about those /data/.nocpu /sd-ext/.nocpu files?!
A: They are empty files which were chosen by NameLessJedi as "safety valve" for his own CMPart inside of CyanogenMod7 (remember the history of this app? ). We decided to cooperate, so I added support for the files and gave him the code to detect an improper shutdown at boot, which he added to his tool. Open source wins!
Q: What are governors and which one should I choose?
A: CPU frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of CPUs on the fly. This can save power, because the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. Governors are different policies to scale frequency.
- powersave will always set the "min" and never change it
- performance will always set the "max" and never change it
- ondemand (usually the default) will raise the value by a step up when the cpu is used, and lower the value by a step down when the cpu is not (much) used.
- conservative is like ondemand but will be slower when changing frequencies
- interactive is (conceptually) like ondemand but will be quicker when changing frequencies.
- smartass is (conceptually) like interactive, but I haven't understood yet why it's so much smart and loved by users.
- userspace will do nothing at all, so don't choose it. I may hide it in a future release to avoid confusion
For a fine grained explanation, check this post!
Q: And what about the I/O scheduler option?
A: I/O means Input/Output and it deals on how read and writes are performed on the internal NAND (not the external card!).
Thanks to roccoadam32, here is a description of the different schedulers:
The Completely Fair Queuing (CFQ) scheduler is the default algorthim in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. As the name implies, CFQ maintains a scalable per-process I/O queue and attempts to distribute the available I/O bandwidth equally among all I/O requests. CFQ is well suited for mid-to-large multi-processor systems and for systems which require balanced I/O performance over multiple LUNs and I/O controllers.
The Deadline elevator uses a deadline algorithm to minimize I/O latency for a given I/O request. The scheduler provides near real-time behavior and uses a round robin policy to attempt to be fair among multiple I/O requests and to avoid process starvation. Using five I/O queues, this scheduler will aggressively re-order requests to improve I/O performance.
The NOOP scheduler is a simple FIFO queue and uses the minimal amount of CPU/instructions per I/O to accomplish the basic merging and sorting functionality to complete the I/O. It assumes performance of the I/O has been or will be optimized at the block device (memory-disk) or with an intelligent HBA or externally attached controller.
The Anticipatory elevator introduces a controlled delay before dispatching the I/O to attempt to aggregate and/or re-order requests improving locality and reducing disk seek operations. This algorithm is intended to optimize systems with small or slow disk subsystems. One artifact of using the AS scheduler can be higher I/O latency.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this new version, the app tries to set the I/O scheduler on every block device except for loopN and zramN, so it will match mmcblkN, mtdN (should it matter) and stlN. If you have a device with a different name, curse your manufacturer and kernel author, but it should work provided you at least have mmcblk0 to read supported schedulers. Yeah, it's not perfect but should be more than enough.
For a fine grained explanation, check this post!
Q: ... can you translate it into layman terms?
A: A-yup.
CFQ: good if you have a multi processor (we're not talking dual core... much many more cores...), multi "card" system. We don't. 'nuff said.
Deadline: fast, fast, fast, but maybe one of your services will "clog" all the writes while your gmail is waiting to open that email you want to read. And maybe not.
NOOP: who said Deadline was fast? NOOP is "the fast". (NOOP = NO OPeration = nuthin' to do... ). Good if the optimization is done at the hardware level. 99% of our devices do.
Anticipatory: surely our devices have small and slow "disk" subsystems, so maybe it's worth a shot.
Requested features and roadmap
- Support for different settings in dual-core devices: investigating if it is even possible.It looks like it's possible! It looks like it's useless.
- Sort statistics in order of cpu%: 1.19
- Add "deep sleep time" to stats: 1.19
- Charts in stats: 1.19
- A bigger widget: just send me mock-ups, I'll think about it
- Silent notification on boot: 1.19
- A setting to disable the safety valve on unsafe shutdown: with a big fat warning of "Don't complain to me", ok. 1.21
- Fix the dual core bug, it's the first request! For crying out loud! There's no bug!

Please, manually uninstall the app from the phone and then install through market, this will help you stay up to date with my releases. But I already know that if you are reading this, you're someone who is already keeping up to date...
Code:
adb uninstall it.sineo.android.cpu

- Added german translation (thanks to zantekk)
- Thanks to everybody who sent his data and hasn't got a personal answer. I appreciated it! 1.4 adds kernel and rom information to the sent data, which should have been there in the first place...
2011-02-05 - v 1.3
- Added safety valves on boot: if unclean shutdown is detected or /data/.nocpu or /sd-ext/.nocpu exist, the frequencies will not be updated.
- Added a menu with an option to send me CPU data. No more logcat needed! Horray!
- GUI: configuration screen shows both current and desired values. You'll know if the app is working.
- i18n: added some new strings, translators please send me your new files and thank you for your work!
2011-01-22 - v 1.2.3 EXPERIMENTAL
- Experimental version for Wildfire and Galaxy Tab (and all the devices which didn't work). Please, download and send me a logcat of the app.
- Removed source package due to misunderstandings. No panic, it's still open source and I'll add it back later.

MARCH 12TH 2011: MARKET FRAUD ALERT! Somebody called "BrinkDroid" has published an old release of this app on the Android Market, selling it for $1.99. This is NOT endorsed or approved by me at all, and a DMCA infringement notice has been sent by Google. With "BrinkDroid" releasing my app on the market, I cannot release it anymore until Google fixes this.
Please, look for "nofrills" on your phone Market app, then report a violation, choosing "Other" and putting this text:
App is a scam/stolen from other developer, proof is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911917[/COLOR]
Thank you.
MARCH 14TH 2011: Yesterday BrinkDroid contacted me and he agreed to remove the application from the Android Market. Unfortunately, the package name is now "owned" by him and I cannot use it anymore. For this reason I have released a 1.7 release which is identical to 1.6.1 but with a new package name (it.sineo.android.cpu -> it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU). In order to avoid further scams, I have released the app on the Market, see the QR code.
Thank you all for your support.
thanks! The older version FC'd me. 1.2 works fine on the heroc. Thanks again nice lightweight app that works!
Hey Ill give it a shot, Im running Chronos 1.7 on my Moto Milestone. I will post back results. Thanks for all your hard work
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: So yea it does work, any chance of adding 1.1Ghz, and possibly more frequencies in between 250 and 400??

My app will show every frequency which is supported by your kernel. It is really just a simple GUI, all the hard work is done by the kernel.
I know nothing about your phone and ROM. Can you provide me the contents of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies? If you have Android SDK, just run:
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
its not properly detecting clock speeds on my g2/desire-z running cm6.1.1.
It finds all clocks up to 1ghz and then shows multiple 1ghz entries. In reality, there are clocks available from 1 to 1.5ghz
Any chance it will run on the new OC Kernels on the Nook Color? SetCPU is way sketchy. I do not no what type of kernels were just released but I have one up and running on my Nook now. They were not made by the CM team. Would there be any harm trying?
Simple and effective, indeed

Thank you for the quick reply the output that I got from adb was aling_available_frequencies
1100000 750000 500000 250000
Is there any way that you could place these into a config so it starts up with these frequencies instead of being applied when the phone is fully booted up?

EDIT: If there is anything else I can get for you let me know

Problem is: I'm currently calling it "CyanogenMod CPU Governor" (yeah, boring) and I'm using CyanogenMod icon for it. Since it won't be included I feel like I should find a different name and icon, and this is where the community could give back ... or get a plain "Market" icon and "GUI for cpufreq settings" name.

How about "No-Frills CPU freq"
Now, lets install it for fun
and do a comparison between SetCPU vs. No-Frills CPU freq
Woot 6mbs used on nook color, setcpu is about 15 so definitely switching.
I guess the setcpu profiles are useful, I never used them tho, why wait till my batteries low when its 300-950 ondemand always

The same thing with the MT4G. CM kernel with using setcpu it is OC and capable of 1.4
im running an X10 with the 2.2.1 rom, after i install the apk i get a force close
Thanks for the app. Freed up just 1mb on my Droid. Gonna run it for a while to see how it compares to the profiles on SetCPU. I'd also like to see frequencys above 1.1 too.

Well that answers my Nook Question. Thanks.
from my modded Android Nook Color tablet,
via the XDA app.
As soon as this will support higher frequencies than 1 ghz I'm going to give it a try.
Apparently the Nero roms for the Galaxy Vibrant are not compatible with this. SetCpu works but this just force closes. Any chance of compatibility?
Tapatalk sent this.
Force closes on my Epic 4G
force closes on my hero running cm6.1
force closes on sgs I9000... running darky's mod v8.0.
works like a charm on my aria running cm 6.1. Just scored 1112 in Quadrant with cpu set to 806 MHz. I have a question though: how does the governor work? And what is the difference between all the different types? Ie. what is the difference between powersave and conservative, etc?
cheers, good work!

the only function you can NOT use is custom voltages.
the cpufreq goes only up to defaultmax of your phone but you can make profiles with diffrent govenor and/or threshold or limit max cpu frequency to save power...
i use it at the moment without custom kernel. for the systemtweaks and to lower the up_threshold a bit witch make the phone a bit snapier
have fun
inteks
ps: i hope that there is no guide needed, everything should be selfexplaining... if not ask.
Ok.
I want that the cpu voltage go back when the phone goes in standby.
And can you Tell me which changes you have done ?

no need to the lower the voltage when screen is off. if the cpu needs 750mv for 122mhz it need it no matter if screen is on or off....
you can limit the max frequency to i.e.122mhz because it is no problem when checking for emails takes a bit more time while screen is off
btw. govenors like smartassv2 handle this for it self , no need to set a screenoff profile.
more interessting is to set a powersave profile while batt is below i.e. 30%
set the max cpu frequecy to 75% and the up_threshold to 99% for that
have fun

is this working on 2.3.3(4.0.A.368)? installed but doesn't launch. icon is on notification bar though.

Hey, I downloaded this and soon after I noticed my phone was lagging a lot like I press a menu and 3-5 seconds later the menu/option would open so uninstalled.
My thoughts while I was using it was,
No exit button that I could see,
Took a while to open at first.
I'm on a rooted ARC FW:4.0.2.A.0.42 with DooMKernel with some system apps removed.

Hi dev
See this :
This's setxperia installed on xperia mini pro (sk17i) w/ DooMKerneL.
That not fully show in my phone.

This app is really useful but at the same time confusing.
I dont understand quite a number of tweaks that is available in this app
like CPU ICON INTERVAL. I am using Xperia play and x10 mini
are there any guides on each individual phone.

The app will work on any Android device which meets the requirements from the first post.
The only thing which currently doesn't work on SGS3 is the kernel and recovery flash. We will add this support for the SGS3 in the next release.

anyway great app
thanks
i dont have battery and voltage settings..kernel related limition?
EDIT: i just rebooted and when i checked on perfomance control it got reverted to the rom preinstalled version

Performance Control is A CPU Control application bundled with AOKP (created by xoomdev).
I started modding and adding features to this application, with @educk, few months ago and now we decided to create a dedicated thread.
Functions:
Change CPU Governor, I/O Scheduler and Clock Speed
Battery information + Fast Charge setting + Battery Life eXtender setting
Change Voltages Assigned to each CPU frequency
Customize MinFree Task Killer (set the amount of RAM the minfree taskiller will keep), Not Killable Processes feature
Customize SD read-ahead
VM Settings such as: Dirty Ratio, Dirty Backgroud ratio, Dirty expire centisecs, Dirty writeback centrisecs, Minfree kbytes, Overcommit ratio, Swappiness and VFS Cache pressure, Dynamic Fsync, Backlight timeout, Backlight on touchscreen, Phantom Key Presses Filter
Integrated CPU Spy
Linux Kernel informations, CPU Informations, Memory Informations
Disk Informations
Tools: Custom shell command, Wipe cache+dalvik cache, Flash kernel or recovery (img files), Clean residual files, Optimize DBs
... and more
Depending on the kernel used, some application features will not be accessible, like: Voltage settings, Battery Life eXtender, etc
Requirements:
Root
Busybox
CM or other AOSP like ROM based on 4.0+
APP is Licensed under GPL v3.
TIPS:
- You can open system battery informations by clicking on voltage value in Battery tab
- You can increase or decrease voltages by 25mV steps in Voltage Settings tab using menu
- You can change fast between flashing kernel or recovery using menu
- Switch fast between tabs using menu > Tabs

Today I will release a new version. So, hide tabs option will be included in the next version.
Great news, tell me, is possible to make divided settings for i/o for internal and external storage?
I may sound weird, but are we sure ,that i/o seetings set by perfctrl are really set for everything at once?
And one more idea..more VM switches, like /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes , /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode, /proc/sys/vm/min_free_order_shift , /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster, and so on?
Would it be hard to add such switches?

You can test with other similar applications and see if are really set.
In the new version you have builprop editor, so you can set other vm parameters.

Hi,
i'm actually testing [ROM][KK][4.4.2][KOT49H] ★★★ BEAN KAT v.5 + [Kernel] CM 11 - 4.4.2 - [ION+PMEM] Khan Kernel v1.1 on my Galaxy Wonder.
I tried to change some settings via performance control 2.18 but some values in build.prop, vm, i/o scheduler are not applied.
I dont know if this issues are rom, kernel or performance control related, but in the signature of some sgs+ developers i saw that they are actually using performance control 2.19b.
Maybe the issues are going to be fixed in the next version.
Cheers

- minfree memory settings, LowMemoryKiller management of not killable processes, ksm - enable/disable on boot, zram - start/stop - change size value - set on boot
- dynamic fscync - enable/disable on boot
- vm settings - changed swappines & vfs_cache_pressure - set on boot
- disk info - sdcard 1 + 2 is shown again
- build.prop - changed ro.config.low_ram from false to true and back
Great work!

2.1.9 Beta 2
Fixed compatibility with KK
Added logcat and dmesg dump (Tools Tab)
Added touchscreen control: s2w, h2w, etc (Advanced Tab) - not tested, need feedback !
Fixed zram
SmoothMod Kernel (SMK) for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G (SM-T311), also may work on WiFi version (SM-T310), all stock and CM ROMs.
Development discontinued, read reason here.
This kernel is developed to give you more smoothness and stability than you can have on stock kernel and others.
Warning. Kernel may work on your device/ROM and may not. For me it works at all ROMs and for many people (on 4PDA.RU forum) it works too. Some people say (or said before kernel worked, this also can be) it doesn't work. So do a kernel backup please before you flash it first time. I've never had boot or usage problems with SMK, but it could be because i'm its developer (though it can not be the reason for that I'm always successfully boot it..). So it seems that our devices of the same model might be different. Be careful as I can not help you.
Features:
- Kernel version updated up to 3.2.26 and keeps updating
- Safe CPU overclock to 1.9 GHz with CPU-Boost kernel driver developed also by myself
- Custom (and only here) governor Smooth that is made to give both good battery saving and absolute smoothness. Uses GPU load and io_wait to additionally increase frequency at the right time.
- Kernel has a custom Android service smkd that controls all its features and provides many tweakable settings that you can change very simply: through terminal command "smkd" (instructions below) or "by hands" at folder "/smk" (like usual linux kernel settings at "/proc/sys/{kernel|vm|net}"). The program is written in C language, not as a script, for performance (shell-scripts are very slow when comparing with optimized C-programs).
- Tweak Menu that can be found if you type 'smkd' in your terminal.
- SmoothnessControl - one of smkd's functions that tries to guarantee UI smoothness to your tablet even if there are very CPU-hungry (but not I/O) apps/programs running like android.process.media and others. By default disabled. To enable, type this: 'su -c "scd --enable"' in terminal emulator. To disable, type 'scd --disable'.
- CPU Undervolt controlled through smkd.
- DynBS program (also developed by me) used by smkd to improve battery saving by 40% and more.
- Boeffla Sound Engine with custom settings, not working with Boeffla Sound Control app because smkd controls them (it's needed because smkd fixes engine's sound effects bug). Settings are stored folder "/smk" in files beginning with "boeffla.".
- Cron scheduler configured from file /sdcard/cron/root.
- All the custom tweakable settings described upper are reloading instantly after you change them or on delete (cron schedule file is also under the same watch).
- Kernel is compiled with optimized HYPER-TOOLCHAIN with gcc version 6.0 and maximally optimized compiler configuration.
Customizing kernel:
There is now nothing that needs to be explained, as customizing is pretty simple! Just type command 'smkd' (without quotes) and go through the menu (by entering appropriate symbols) as you want, changing parameters as you need.
Ask, if you have questions
If you have questions or suggestions about my kernel, feel free to write about that here and I will try to answer.
F.A.Q.:
Q.: Do I need to wipe Dalvik/ART cache before/after flashing this kernel?
A.: It is even not useful to wipe caches because they are used by Android only, not by kernel. So, it's not needed.
Q.: The kernel does not boot! What do I have to do to boot it?
A.: Write a message in this thread providing info about what ROM do you use, what Android version it is and what kernel build (kk/lp/mm) and version you are trying to boot. I will reply to that message and try to fix that problem.
Author: me, igoryan94
Download from Google Drive
Before flashing this kernel please do a backup yours first!
Warning! If you have a Jellybean/Kitkat rom, then download the smoothmod-kernel-kk-... build. If you use Lollipop (CM12), then your build to download will be ...-lp.... If it is a Marshmallow (CM13), then download mm build.
Other choice will cause your device to not be able to boot!
(Sorry for my (maybe )bad english)
Plans:
-
Developing now:
-
Changelogs (old*):
1.2.1/1.2.2:
- Returned possibility to load a profile from command line (command 'smkd --load [name]' or 'smkd ld [name]')
- Added custom setting for apps CPU time, now it has two groups: idle and high.
Idle group gives an app very small amount of CPU time, use for hungry apps that you don't need.
High group grants an app a 95% of all CPU time. Use to speed up some apps or games.
It is all very similar to Greenify and others, excepting that this is not battery saving solution, only to smooth up your Android, as Greenify disables an app and CGroup lowers app's CPU execution time available to it.
- I/O settings fully rebalanced for smoothness for system processes and apps processes
- Also added control group for I/O that does like one for CPU, but for I/O and developed its correct (for Android) behavior.
- Current configuration name in smkd menu now correctly saves and loads after reboot.
- Default LMK level changed to 125
XDA->SMK:
1.2:
- Got a smoother UI with better CGroup tweaking
- In case of some situations smkd will notify user with drawing a small square of some color at the left upper screen edge (portrait orientation). For overheat the color is red. When SmoothnessControl gets to work, color is light blue/cyan. If device's load is too high, the color will be blue.
"Notification" will blink when screen updates because the framebuffer devices are not support this method of screen drawing. But it works for now and I think that it is very useful to know the reasons of device's lags and freezes.
- Menu now immediately reacts to input, instead of pressing some characters and then Enter. Modified all menus that way so the interface is now much better.
- When exiting menu, parameters are automatically saved to default profile. No need to care about it anymore...
- Added Quick settings also to RAM and I/O
- Main menu: moved all "p)" menu elements to main menu level, it is quicker to access now
- Some more Quick settings options added
- Added Quick settings to my menu templates, so I will add this to most of the new menus in the future
- Main Quick settings colors changed to blue, additional are still white
- Overclock to 1920 MHz lowered to 1800 MHz because 1800 is much more stable (1920 causes reboots on Marshmallow on my tablet)
- Device now reboots when charging speed is too bad. By default this is disabled. Also added setting "Charge cycle time" and Quick settings for that so you can quickly set up to what charge speed you need (reboots are helpful but not very good for users that want to play device when it charges).
- 'Boost' feature disabled so now DynBS will work as always even when device is laggy
Previous:
1.1.22:
- CPU, Boeffla Sound and Network setting menus in smkd now have the Quick settings feature that helps to configure them by one click instead of tweaking them each
1.1.21.1:
- DynBS updated: now it uses frequencies from 350 to 700 MHz too, so more battery can be saved.
1.1.21:
- smkd now has menu interface which opens by default by command 'smkd' without options.
- All setting commands are removed. Use menu instead.
- In Cyanogenmod ROMs SystemUI is restarted every time when screen becomes disabled, so you may never see it lags or freezes again.
- PCS renamed to SC (SmoothnessControl).
- Overclock enables when device is laggy even when it is disabled in settings
- Redone temperature control: now smkd monitors a device temperature instead of CPU. It leads to better smoothness. Also overheat situations disable some functions like I/O readahead, ZRam, KSM.
- Overheat prevention function fully removed
- Governor Smooth now enables both cores on gestures with two or more fingers instead of simple tap.
1.1.20:
- Added charging compensation: now when battery charging is too slow, CPU Topology and voltage will be changed appropriately for quicker charge.
- Touch boost changed from 1400 to 1000 MHz, but it also boosts busfreq to 400 instead of 267 MHz. Results in better reaction on screen touch.
- Governor Smooth's default sampling_rate changed from 27000 to 16000 for quicker reaction
1.1.19:
- Added ARM CPU Topology for better multithread scheduling
- Some CPU Scheduler changes for smoothness or power saving (tweakable)
- Improved smkd UI code
1.1.18.1:
- Fixed performance/smoothness problems.
1.1.18:
- Added new default configuration "throughput"
- GPU acceleration is now forced for all apps and it is changeable from smkd.
- I/O scheduler SIOPlus added.
- DynBS is returned (one user asked for it as it really saves battery, as he said).
1.1.17:
- User profiles are no more exist, replaced with default configurations" instead. They are: smooth, battery, ram and cool. After each launch of smkd (mostly on reboot) configurations are removed and recreated to always be fresh and up to date.
- Added ability to create, rename and delete profiles by normal way, but default profiles cannot be replaced, deleted or renamed through smkd (only "by hands").
- GPU settings: composition and forced GPU-acceleration from Android settings for developers.
- Tripndroid and Zen I/O schedulers are added.
1.1.16.1:
- Configurations loading is now be always successful (but only if appropriate file exists), without that annoying errors "try again later, please..."
- Small tweaks optimization
1.1.16:
- Overclock now disabled by default, as it was on 1.1.14 and before, for battery saving (overclock eats too much battery). Can be enabled with command 'smkd -c -o 1'. Temperature control is now optimized for both CPU overclock and hardware maximal frequency modes.
- smkd interface improved a little.
- KSM functionality added with some fixes for Mali GPU driver bugs in userspace.
- Default temperature limit is now 64 C (before it was 67 C). This is done for more stability when the weather is hot.
- Some changes for smoothness and stability...
1.1.15:
- Overclock is enabled now for any time when screen is enabled (no more boost).
- Developed overheat preventing functions that cool device when temperature is between 90% of threshold and higher. CPU frequency will be set according to temperature for the moment (for every 2% will be a different frequency). Function can be disabled but it is not recommended.
- All cooling functions now control voltage too to be more effective.
- Governor Smooth tweaked for more balance (oc_nr_run_threshold->6)
- Governor Smooth: changed logic: half-overclock (to 1.7 GHz) will occur if number of processes running is a half of oc_nr_run_threshold tunable.
- smkd now controls I/O scheduler and I/O readahead settings, they are tweakable with smkd command. Profiles change this parameters too.
1.1.14:
- smkd tweaker program fully translated to english and comes now in two languages. Now it uses Android's property 'persist.sys.language'.
If your device configured for any language excepting russian, then program will be in english for you. At the other case it will print out text and messages in russian.
- Improved custom configurations in smkd. Now it loads profiles synchronous with service (by using mutex) instead of relaunching it with shell stop/start (it was too slow and even buggy to do that).
- DynBS will not be in kernel anymore, it is not so effective as needed. Instead, I've added a profile tweaks for my governor Smooth, that tweaks easily changeable from smkd (cmd. "smkd -c -s [0-2]").
1.1.13:
- Cron scheduler now works correctly (i'm happy ), doing exactly what was scheduled by the user at the exact times.
- I don't remember what was in this version because forgot this as I worked on 1.1.14 intensively.

Looks like it will not work on AICP ROM, on Cyanogenmod 13 and ResurrectionRemix kernel works fine (I've tested that)... Sorry The reason for that I can not fix this problem is that I do not know (even cannot know) how to make an init.rc (this file starts all Android services on boot) file universal (to support absolutely all ROMs at one time). This is also the reason for three builds of kernel: kk, lp and mm...
Nice kernel. But can you please make a version of your kernel work with the T310 (WiFi)?

I can't as i don't know much about modding in '/init.rc' script and also about what differences it has in kernels for T310, T311 and T315... Sorry.
There are too much incompatibilities with builds that are now (they must work everywhere but they don't)...
Ok. Added one question to poll. There are three variants for ROM and two for working or not (six at all), for me all works fine, so I voted for the first three answers.
Version 1.1.14 developer testing ends now, smkd fully translated to english. I will now build the kernel and then begin uploading it to Google Drive.
(sorry for my incorrect english)

waiting for update..
Hey @igoryan94,
Thanks a lot for making this great kernel!
I've flashed the KK version along with the stock ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789510. It works very nicely. Would you please show an instruction (or a specific terminal command for newbies like me) of how to overclock CPU to 1.9GHz? Currently the max speed is 1.5Ghz according to kernel audit.
Thanks again
Hey I cant change the cpu frequent through kernel adiutor. As soon as i change the freq to 1920 it changes back to 1500.

CPU frequency is automatically changed to 1920 MHz when special conditions are met (they are: "blocked" processes and waiting for I/O).. Version 1.1.5 will have full 1920 MHz CPU frequency.
I will now upload "developer" version of kernel 1.1.15_dev for KitKat users. If you want, test that) It is not fully contains all changes that i've done, but I'm not at home now and cannot compile new build... For now it has smooth overheat prevention and overclock fully enabled.

Please wait for SMK version 1.1.15, it will use 1920 MHz as a default frequency always excepting overheat moments (that will disapear very quickly) and governor's battery saver mode.
You can also use a developer version 1.1.15_dev if you use JellyBean/KitKat as your ROM.
Ok, "dev" version released for testing.
When I will return home, I will release another testing version that has an I/O scheduler change functionality, optional Overheat Prevention and changing min_freq to minimal (50 MHz) when temperature event occurs. Maybe it will have even more features (I have smkd code with me, PC is only needed for compiling kernel and ramdisk).
on NoleKat.T310. v1.1 KK 4.4.2 not boot. on CM13 it's ok, but, for me, the best android versioni for this tablet is kk stock and i install NoleKat.T310. v1.1.
