**OBSOLETE** NO LONGER SUPPORTED [KERNEL][S4] Fusion Kernel v1.1 (7/18/12)

Fusion Kernel for the One S (S4)
Lastest Version: v1.1 (7/18/12)​
This kernel is no longer supported. I have completely re-based from scratch and released a new kernel, Fusion Ultimate. Please check it out.
Thanks for all the support.
This is a kernel based off of the lastest US T-Mobile sources that just released.
It is compatible with all One S's with an S4 processor.
*Disclaimer*
Code:
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
By using this you are taking full responsibility blah blah blah....
...you get the point
As there are many people working on ROMs for the One S, I have decided to start maintaining a custom kernel for it. Again, this is based off of the TMOUS kernel sources that just released a few days ago. I will add more and more features to it for new releases. Note that this is only compatible with stock Sense-based ROMs, not AOSP-based ROMs like CM9 or AOKP. Maybe in the future I will create an AOSP version. Enjoy
v1.0 (Initial Release)
- Based off the T-Mobile US kernel sources
- All features from mdeejay's latest virtuous kernel
- Overclocked to 2.1Ghz by default --> use SetCpu or similar app to change
- Added SmartassV2 governor (gives extraordinary battery life and performance, look here)
- tweaked SmartassV2 frequencies for better compatibility
- insecure kernel (root in adb)
v1.1
- Fixed CPU issues from virtuous kernel (hopefully)
- Enabled init.d scripts support with busybox run-parts
- Reverted to stock GPU 2D and 3D frequencies
- CPU now default 1.5Ghz
- SmartassV2 as default governor
- make CPU1 (second core) to be online
- good battery life

Downloads
The zip packages are named with the date of their release.
v1.0 (boot-071712.img): http://d-h.st/vtX
v1.1 (boot-071812.zip): http://d-h.st/jsd
How to install:
Flash the zips with TWRP recovery.
Kernels will be in zips now. The reason is because some stock patch scripts from /system/etc were interfering with the CPU frequency settings, hence some the issues from Virtuous kernel. The zips flash the patch scripts as well as the kernel.

Klin. Do you know if with this kernel there's issues controlling the CPU? Like for example down scaling the speed for both cores or having the governors activate on both cores? I've had that issue before.

You mean from the virtuous kernel? I'm not quite sure what you mean, since I've never had issues myself..
Could you give a more detailed explanation of the problem? I will definitely look into it.

What he means is do the clock settings stick after reboot. In virtuous kernel it went back to Max from boot and the settings had to be set again.

That was one problem. Some people, myself included, also had an issue where the kernel settings were only applied to CPU0. CPU1 would stay at whatever the kernel's default min/max speeds were regardless of the settings in SetCPU (or any other cpu app for that matter).

[Q] 4.3 Kernel w/ Data2SD support?

Title kind of says it all, I have heard of folks in a few posts for 4.3 based roms mention just running a kernel with Data2SD built in. Bryce's kernel is the only 4.3 kernel i have found and it does not appear to have data2sd included....
4.3 runs pretty well without it but it would be nice to have.

That's kernel version 6 kind of supports 4.3 and has preinit support built in which means with a small script you can set the mount points for data2sd before android boots.
Pop over to his thread for info.

I used it on CM10.2 as did that. The new version is 4.3 compatible as it says in the changelog. Although he didin't put it in the first post it is near the end of the thread. You also need to inject his modules into CM.
If you pop over to his dual boot thread he shows you how to do this as well

Awesome thanks for posting again! I will give this a try right away! I'd seriously contemplating going down the path of compiling my own....but would rather not

[Q] cromi-x and cm11

Hi,
I've been using cromi-x rom for several months (v5.2.3 with kernel thatv7 and fsync off) and it run really fine. I even don't consider to install data2sd or rom2sd as performance already meets my needs due to fsync off.
But i'm a curious man and i'm interested in testing another rom : cm11. But i have few questions about that (i did not find answers in existing threads) :
- does cm11 correct the tf700 i/o issue (with sync off for example) and will i get as good performance than on cromi-x ?
- i have TWRP installed but CM requires CWR. Which one is compatible with both roms (so that i can easily switch back from one rom?to the other) ?
Thanks

I doubt it since essentially it is hardware related (cheap memory) and I doubt that the CM team found a better way to mitigate it than sbdags.

TWRP 2.6.3.2 also works with CM11. It also seems to work fine with CROMi-X.
sbdgas just modded the rom2sd2 script to run CM11 as rom2sd with _thatv7 on internal. Somebody else tried the same scenario with Hund's kernel - both ran like syrup it seems....
But give it a shot running CM11 on internal with TWRP 2.6.3.2! That's what nandroids are for
And let us know how it went!

As far as I understand, the solution was to put fsync to off. Maybe CM has also implemented that solution, but I don't find any information about that on CM thread / website.

Yep you're right, I see that there is a thread explaning that, I will read it and try to apply it. I'll give news about my testing but that will take a few days probably as i'm very busy at the moment at home.

I've read the dual-boot internal+external rom thread and it needs a linux machine which i don't have. Could i do that gparted configuration with a live-linux CD ?
And about performance, does the option "fsync off" exist in CM11 ? If not then i don't expect good performance/no-lag like on CROMI-X and i would be then not interested to test CM.

Sure! I recommend the one from sysresccd.org (should be in every household), but you can also use the GParted live CD or any other that includes gparted.

As long as the kernel supports "fsync off", it will also work in CM.

Thanks for your answer, i'll try it when i have time (late at night when child and wife are sleeping )

Not all kernels that support f sync off support cm11, the only cm11 kernel besides the stock cyanogen mod one is bryce09's and that still has bugs. CM 11 with the build.prop tweaks, clean master, lagfix, and crossbreeder give performance better then CROMI-X with no overclock.

Is data2sd the best way to improve io performance or is there anything else that can be done to make the tablet not die while updating apps?

If your kernel comes with the ROW I/O scheduler, give that a try. Several kernels (CM11, OmniROM, GRIMLOCK, ...) have added that as an option lately.
You should find that under Settings > System > Performance > I/O Scheduler

The Stable ET v2.0 for Cromi X!

Warning: This is the Experimental Tweaks (ET) on hund's kernel v3.4.5 for hardcore users and tinkers only and tested on Cromi X v5.4. If you want a stable kernel, you can use Hund's kernel v3.4.5 from his original post below please. PLEASE STOP HERE IF YOU ARE NOT THEM, THANKS.
Hund's kernel is developed by Hundsbuah and you can find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143093
I am running this ET for a while and have 6 testers on this ET too. It is very stable and fast in my opinion. Let me know if you are running into any issue or bug, thanks.
Preparation:
1. Backup your whole device in the TWRP and backup all your personal files to your external SD or your computer, just in case.
2. Remove any UV/OV scripts from the init.d folder before installing this tweaks
3. Remove the Fsync script from the init.d folder if any
4. Go to the Asus customized setting and Uncheck the "Enable smart backlight adjuster"
5. Download the correct ET zip for your file system below
Installation:
1. Reboot to your TWRP or custom recovery
2. Install the zip
3. Have fun...
Setting for this ET:
--Power Saving Mode: CPU/GPU: 1.1G/520M, Balance Mode: 1.4G/520M, and Performance Mode: 1.7G/700M
--Interactive Governor and SIO Scheduler
--Westwood TCP Congestion Control
--Fsync off
--CPU temperature throttle at 70 Celsius
--Power Saving Mode is setup for games. You can run most of games in this mode.
--Balance Mode is a daily usages beside gaming.
--Performance Mode is not for games except for daily usages. I am only playing games in this mode during the Winter because it is also my portable heater...:laugh:
I have the f2fs for Data2sd on the data partition that I am running if you need it please let me know so I can upload it for you.
Problems: For some reasons that your device is not booting, you may want to restore your system backup only and you should be up running from your previous setup...
Zip files:
---hund-v3.4.5_ET-v1.13.8_ext4 - For your internal data running ext4 file system.
---hund-v3.4.5_ET-v1.13.8_f2fs - For your internal data running f2fs file system.
Update: v1.13.9 should run roughly about 7 degree Celsius cooler than the v1.13.8 without suffering any performance loss which gives more battery life...
Update 1: If you are running f2fs on the internal /data partition, please install the ET_v1.13.10_f2fs. There is a bug in both ET-v1.13.8_f2fs and ET-v1.13.9_f2fs. It could cause some issues with data corruption.
Update 2: ET_v1.13.12 has very good battery life and very smooth....
Update 3: V2.0 should work properly without any bug and stable. Battery life should be better. For some reasons that your device does not run as smooth and fast as other users. You may want to update to the latest ET "build.prop". Good lucks and have fun.... Jelly Bean is probably end of life and this version may be the last release because I am getting bored with tweaking this device. I hope that I will see you in another Forum and see you all....
Bugs Reported
1. Dualboot is not working reported by Ananasnonym.
2. WLAN may be not working reported by Ananasnonym. Other users reported that it works...
3. A bug in the booting script f2fs zip found by me. Fixed with ET-v1.13.10.
Please report any bug or problem, thanks and enjoy.....

Thanks for a feedback...:good: It is a good start without any issue. You are the second testers using the f2fs on internal data with "discard" mounting option enable.. Some users reported that they have issue with booting when "discard" are enable on Kitkat Rom using f2fs. That is worry me a bit. For performance, it should be at least the same as your previous setup but it is more likely better... I am tweaking on wifi a lot and see improving on a large file download. Please pay attention in that area and report back. I have a mix feedback about wifi improvement from my testers. Some said it is better and some said it is the same. One said it is worst than before, haha. I don't know what is the true result...
About the tf201, I saw hund source code including the tf201 but the kernel is using higher OV for CPU/GPU setting. You may want to adjust the voltages to your needs for the tf201, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Yes it worked with earlier Versions (The one you sent me for testing and old old published ET). Might be that you deactivated kexec in the config? (Just a guess)
