[KERNEL][DEFUNCT]CM10/CM9/AOKP Kernel v6.3.6 [8/23] - UV/OC/GPU-BLN-Governors

This kernel no longer works with current CM10/AOKP ROMS - PLEASE DO NOT USE
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING...
This is a customized kernel built from SGH-I727 (aka Skyrocket) source code. This ROM has all the fixes from CyanogenMod & Team Chopsticks tree along with some other stuff.
It's very simple to install.
Ensure you've already installed a working ROM
Install Zip from CWM.
Wipe both caches (just to be safe)
Reboot
FSync Control - Courtesy of Ezekeel
FSync Control which 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.

Governors
Wheatley Governor - Courtesy of Ezekeel
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-kernel27-jul-glados-v20-for-jb/page__st__90__p__405813#entry405813
Badass (default)
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 1080Mhz and therefore use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 1080MHz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1350MHz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing).
You can tweak the Phase 2 (1080MHz) and Phase 3 (1350MHz) via sysfs (if you don't know, then just leave it alone).
NOTE: 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.
InteractiveX
Created by kernel developer "Imoseyon," the InteractiveX governor is based heavily on the Interactive governor, enhanced with tuned timer parameters to better balance battery vs. performance. The InteractiveX governor's defining feature, however, is that it locks the CPU frequency to the user's lowest defined speed when the screen is off.
Lazy
This governor from Ezekeel is basically an ondemand with an additional parameter min_time_state to specify the minimum time CPU stays on a frequency before scaling up/down. The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand. Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state on a step overriding sampling interval. Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
GPU Overclocking
GPU is stock clocked at [email protected] & [email protected] (default).
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 3D mode to 320 MHz:
echo 320000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
Example: To increase maximum GPU frequency in 2D mode to 266 MHz:
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d1.1/kgsl/kgsl-2d1/max_gpuclk
Available frequencies:
3D: 320000000, 300000000, 266667000, 228571000, 200000000, 177778000, 27000000
2D: 266667000, 228571000, 200000000
Kernel-based MPDecision
100% kernel-based multi-core decision! (should cpu1 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is disabled by the CWM flashable.
Check /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (70000)
delay = time between checks (500)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1 (1)
nwns_threshold_up = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be hotplugged (35)
nwns_threshold_down = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpu1 will be unplugged (5)
twts_threshold_up = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed (250)
twts_threshold_down = same as above (250)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
(all times are in ms)

Governor scripts
NOTE: Not needed for v6.0.2 or v6.2 and beyond
These scripts will set the CPU0 & CPU1 governors correctly. Using a tool like System Tuner only sets CPU0 to the selected governor, but leaves CPU1 running the default. This was the only way I found to ensure both CPUs had the correct governor set. Basically this overwrites your init.qcom.post_boot.sh script with one that sets both CPUs to the same governor.

Edit/Update.... Running GREAT! Set to smartass V2 and set min freq to 192. I used NSTools to set and double checked the govenor and frequencies with Rom Toolbox pro and Set Cpu, everything is sticking and running smooth. Been running this for an hour now, will report back if I find any issues in the future. Thanks again for the kernel, InstigatorX, GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!! (high 5)

Nothing broken
Set to smartass v2 min 192
Feels smooth. Really smooth. Hopefully this means i can leave my charger at home now
Edit: holy crap! Phone is on usb charging from laptop. This is the first time on cm9 its actually charging FAST while I'm using it!

[Kernel] MetalliKernel 10.1 CM9-HWA a6 [150-1380mhz] [384mhz GPU] [7/5 -Feature List]

Alright so here's the first release of this kernel for codeworkx's CM9 with hardware acceleration.
Again this is for codeworkx's cm9.
Also, this is for codeworkx's cyanogenmod 9.
One more time, this is for cm9 only.
Finally, this is for cm9 and cm9 only!
Don't let the "alpha" title fool you into thinking it's not stable... it is... It's only alpha because it's still in the "testing" phase.
FEATURES/CHANGES
Overclockable to 1.38GHz
Underclockable to 150MHz
GPU overclocked to 384MHz (highest possible without bottlenecking and battery waste)
Tuned OnDemand Governor (recommended)
Interactive Governor with time view concept (learns from your use and adjust parameters accordingly)
Wheatley Governor (optimized use of C4 state)
Hotplug Governor (turns of one of the cpus to save power when load is very low)
Pegasusq Governor (A better version of Hotplug, but experimental and not designed for our devices)
SIO scheduler for speed/performance with flash storage
Linaro Toolchain
Linaro optimizations and patches
Linaro makefile compiler flags
Makefile Optimizations to boost performance
Optimized CRC32
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Tiler Memory increased to 32MB (linaro)
Other Tiler patches/tweaks to improve 2D gpu performance
SLQB allocator
lib/string use glibc version for speed
lib/memcopy use glibc version for speed
lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1 and removed ARM sha1 routines
I/O backport from 3.2 linux kernel for less dirty throttling
Tweak CPUIDLE to enter deep sleep faster thus saving battery
LowMemoryKiller backported from 3.4 kernel
Disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS for improved performance
Allow Deep Sleep to occur when media decoder is active allowing the cpu to shut off when playing music or video.
Allow MPU logic to power down when in deep sleep to save power.
Increased default readahead value to 1024KB for faster sdcard reads
A lot of stuff I probably forgot I did.
Also includes a ridiculous amount of bugfixes, patches, and tweaks that can found on my github commit log.
***Read Me***
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, USE SETCPU PROFILES OF ANY KIND OR ANYTHING SIMILAR WITH THIS DEVICE. Things like screen off max frequency, temperature throttling, and others are already built in to the OMAP architecture. Using ANY profiles will ONLY lead to problems, instabilities, and battery drain.
***************
Let me know how it "feels" especially by default without overclocking or underclocking. Also I'd be interested in how the battery treats you. Thanks!

Which boot screen. I think I know the issue if its not the cyanogenmod one.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium

I have this issue too and it's the Tab2 10.1 screen. (the first one that shows during boot)

It's the Tab 2 Splash screen. I can adb, go into DL, and get into CWM so it's fine... it just won't boot.

Yeah its probably because I forgot to use the 10.1 ramdisk. I'll upload a fixed version shortly.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium

No worries man.
Thanks for getting started anyway, a lot of devs can use your fork now.

New version up. In addition to some bugfixes and reverts, this time the espresso10 ramdisk is actually used instead of the 7 inch version

Now it installs fine. What app should I use to control it? NSTools, Voltage Control, CPU Master, etc...

Glad to hear it. Let me know how it runs.
Really doesn't matter what you use as they all modify the same sysfs entries. I like no frills CPU control because its simple and only does what I need it to do.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium

Changing OC settings with NSTools or CPU control causes reboot. Settings don't change.
I can change min freq and governor (tried it with interactive and wheatly), just not max freq.

Works like a charm now. I'll keep you up to date on performance once I've done some testing.

Works fine in voltage control, and stable at 1380 so far with little heat. I haven't really stressed it though but it does run smoother and more responsive than before. The GPU seems snappier too. Great job.

Can you post a complete "feature list" with next version ? Oh, and can Voodoo sound be integrated for better (sound) quality ? I'll keep pressing the thanks button.

Thanks for the kernel, will test it later this day.
Maybe you can add an how to flash guide for the n00bs who want to flash but don't know how to do it?

works works works!!!!!!!!!! like an awsomeness thing! hehe i know that i can trust on you m8, but i did ask for it..yet and you made it! thx really THX!!!!!!

Hi,
Thank you for work but is what I am to have a problem of hangs and of connection with WIFI

Been testing the kernel with default settings for some hours now ... started using it since 11.oo this morning and started with a full battery. After playing some games (tablet/battery temperature stayed normal) and browsing the net, checking emails and some more stuff i must say the kernel works smooth and my tablet runs faster. Am using the kernel for 3.5 hours and the battery is at 71%. No weird things happened so far. WiFi and bluetooth both work fine in other words...
the kernel feels goOOOood

Padfone 2 A68 [Kernel] Stone custom kernel for ASUS Padfone 2 - OC/UV/GPL/etc

Presenting the Stone Kernel for ASUS Padfone 2 (A68), a custom kernel designed to get a little more out of the Padfone 2.
DISCLAIMER: As per all custom kernel disclaimers, while I do test this kernel on my own device, I'm not responsible for you voiding your warranty, or any damage/bricking/weirdness that may occur to your Padfone. If you're not comfortable with this, do not proceed.
v0.9
Main features:
Based on ASUS source code v10.4.16.8, compatible with Android 4.1.1 stock PadFone2 firmwares
init.d support (init.rc busybox runparts)
USB OTG Host in phone mode
UI rendered with GPU instead of CPU, making it very snappy
Lowest CPU frequency set to 162mhz
CPU frequency locked to 162mhz-1512mhz during boot
Undervolted to save power & reduce heat
Undervolt interface (compatible with System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc)
Additional CPU Governors: Wheatley, InteractiveX v2, MSM_DCVS
Set InteractiveX v2 CPU Governor to default instead of Performance, to lower battery consumption, maintain snappy performance, and improve CPU freq config
GPU normal freq set to 200mhz to lower battery usage (will still scale upto 266/400/533mhz when busy)

FAQ
Q. My phone is running hot!
A. This is usually related to the voltage being too high. Try lower voltage, and try to determine which frequencies are running hot for you. You may need to also restrict your max CPU frequency with SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, if the frequency won't run stably on your phone.
Q. CPU-intensive apps (particularly games) terminate abnormally after a bit of use.
A. This usually means the voltage is a little too low for that frequency. Try to raise the voltage (only 12.5mv at a time) until you find a stable voltage, and let the rest of us know what value is best for you.
Q. My phone won't even boot with this kernel.
A. Sounds like the voltages are too low for you. Try the "STD" version, which uses voltages only slightly lesser than stock.
Q. I want GPU overclocking, but I don't want CPU overclocking.
A. Use the "OC" version, and use SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, to set the max CPU freq you want.
Q. Proximity sensor doesn't work during a call
A. Fixed in version 0.4

How stable is it?
And also, if I read/understood the "main features" right, you limited the CPU to only use 2 cores instead of 4?
I read that you did it for more stability when overclocked, but if this only uses 2 cores out of it's 4, I will be very hesitant to flashing it...
Either way though, this is great progress! We are finally getting a handfull of developers for the Padfone 2! Hopefully we can get Cyanogenmod ported soon aswell!
Great job!

I've been using it for a few weeks, and when I had 4 cores enabled, I found it a bit unstable. With 2 cores enabled only, it flies along due to the higher frequency, and is rock-solid.
Unless you're using the MSM_DCVS Governor (which isn't default even on stock kernel), not all the cores are used except for under high load. Using Interactive, Performance, and other Governors, it usually keeps 3 cores off, and just powers the second one up when doing things. Only when running very CPU-intensive tasks will all 4 cores be used, and the phone will run very hot. If using the MSM_DCVS Governor, it'll continually lower the CPU frequency anyway. These factors are why I've limited the CPU cores - the end-result is a faster, cooler, and less power-hungry kernel.
Nevertheless, I'll upload another one in the next couple of days with all 4 cores enabled, so people can test it out.

First of all nice work here ! Good to see people progressing. As im still bit of a noob and my question maybe quite noobish.
I have NOS installed on my padfone 2 atm and its working flawlessly. Just before I try this I wanted to ask you if this will some way interfere with NOS ?
I would happily be our test monkey if needed
One more time,
Thank you !

Hey first of all this is very nice that you develop kernel to padfone and its nice to see some progress , but i would like that if you make the kernel with 4 cores and little bit smaller clocks ex 1.5 or 1.6 and if you set low freg to somewhere near 100mhz. That would be nice to see

Great work! We finally have our first custom kernel

Great work... I will test soon as possible

Quad core
I've recompiled the kernel with all 4 cores enabled, and will update after I've done some stress testing. (I won't upload it if it's not stable for me.)
When I tested it a few weeks ago, quad core was too hot, but I've tweaked the voltages quite a bit since then, so hopefully it'll be upload-worthy.

How to download link using phone?

Quad core version uploaded
I've uploaded the Quad core version too.
Curious to here other people's experiences on that - I personally find that my PF2 barely uses the 3rd & 4th cores (even on stock kernel), so I prefer the dual core kernel version (faster, more stable, less heat, less voltage requirements), but CPUs differ a little from phone to phone.
Keen to here people's tests from the dual core kernel vs the quad core kernel.

Me currently testing dual core version

Just downloaded and installed the QuadCore version. Will be back here in a couple of days!
Can you say thank you too many times ? NOT!
Thank you once more !

Thank you for quadcore version wil try it out!

Reboots in Padfone Station
I tried to use the dual core version today during some meetings and it was fine when in phone mode, but after using it in the station for a while it would get very hot and then reboot. I was overclocking it to 1.7. Anybody else have similar experience?

Usually "very hot" means that the voltage needs to be lowered. Can you try using System Tuner to lower the voltage slightly for 1.7ghz frequency, and advise whether that helps?

i have flash the dual core ver.
But when i boot and at the asus loading logo, it keep shining white screen and some color line.
After booted into system it soft reboot again and again. then i revert to stock kernel it fine.
i already wipe cache/dalvik
i am using TWRP 2.5 and stock rom

Undervolting 1.7
I have not tried it in the padstation yet, but the 4 core version undervolted 1 step down (1125 I think?) was stable when I just played Final Fantasy 3 for about 20 mins. CPU spy shows that it was running at 1.7 during that time. No apparent heat issues and no reboots or anything like that. I will try it in the padstation and report back later.
---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------
Just to be clear I only further undervolted the highest frequency (1.7). Other parts of the table were default for your 4c kernel.

Which app is recommended to overclocking and undervolting?

Timer Slack Controller: (this is a copy-paste from boype's thread)
What does the timer slack feature do?
Timer slacking aims to synchronize applications' and processes' CPU requests. The goal is to wake up the CPU less often in oder to save battery. What you need to know here is the following: waking the CPU up and putting it back to sleep again consumes power. Imagine that four apps wake the CPU up four times each in one second. While without timer slacking the CPU would be woken up 16 times, it is desirable to coordinate the wakeups. If done right, the CPU would wake up less often, effectively allowing power savings and longer sleep periods. This is what timer slacking does.
I have activated timer slacking only for background applications, so that everything else stays as responsive as you know it.
Apple has recently introduced this feature under the name 'timer coalescing' with their Mac OSX Maverick (link).
More information: How Apple does timer slacking ('Timer coalescing') (Scroll a little down to the diagrams)
LZ4 Compressor:
LZ4 is a very fast compressor, based on well-known
LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm. Originally a fork from LZP2, it provides
better compression ratio for text files and reaches impressive decompression
speed, in the range and beyond 1GB/s per core (!), especially for binary files.
These speeds are scalable with multi-threading modes, quickly reaching
RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.
ROW I/O scheduler:
The ROW scheduling algorithm will be used in mobile devices as default
block layer IO scheduling algorithm. ROW stands for "READ Over WRITE" which
is the main requests dispatch policy of this algorithm.
The ROW IO scheduler was developed with the mobile devices needs in mind.
In mobile devices we favor user experience upon everything else, thus we want
to give READ IO requests as much priority as possible. The main idea of the ROW
scheduling policy is just that: - If there are READ requests in pipe - dispatch them,
while write starvation is considered.

NOTE: This version of PureAudio is compatible with absolutely any equalizer or player.
If you have Titanium Backup installed, in the menu you'll find an option named "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM". Use it.
This is something like odexing your system, but keeps the classes.dex files inside the apps. Don't worry if you don't have a lot of system space, Titanium will odex as much as it can until the free space runs out.
TIP: So in latest version of CrossBreeder, the OP added some system tweaking which interferes with our kernel. So I edited those parts to match our settings and device limits.
If anyone wants to install CrossBreeder:
-First uninstall by flashing this file: CrossBreeder_Uninstall_7.2.13.zip - 943.12 KB
-Then install this custom version: CrossBreeder_7.2.13-Badass.zip - 1.59 MB

Changed the ramdisk, now it should boot. All versions are flashable zips, you don't have to reinstall the ROM for installing a kernel.
Keep a flashable zip with your original kernel on sd in case this doesn't boot.

I flashed kernel for CM10.1 RC6 of erikcas and it works without problems for me.

Just a question, I flashed the tweaks on this thread and Fly-On Scripts.. After flashing the kernel, do I need to flash them again?
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
Just a little update, just flashed the kernel. No problems at all, it feels smooth as it can be. I'm running it 68-768Mhz with no problems.

Wake up in the morning..
Open xda (5670 forum)..
see something new anddd..
ohmyglob! FINALLY! SIR ALIN.P's KERNEL!
Best morning news and goodness in the morning! ooohh yeah! Time to test this baby out! By the way, I'd love to see your ROM here sir Alin! THANKYOU!

Kernel works perfectly at 768Mhz, something that I couldn't OC to before. I tryed to OC to 806Mhz and my Fit rebooted automatically. :lol:
Now I'm trying to use 787Mhz to see what can happen.
EDIT: Can't OC over 768Mhz. At 787 the G-Fit keeps running for 15 mins until it locks at whatever it's doing for forever and from 806 onwards it just reboots automtically. At least that's what my G-Fit does, don't know what about the others. Just sharing my personal experience so far with the Badass Kernel.

The kernel installs in its own partitions, it doesn't mess with the /system or /data. So you don't need to reinstall anything, only the kernel will be modified when flashing.
About the OC, the kernel uses the same clocks as the stock kernel, with a little tweaks for stability and battery life(Undervolt and refined AXI bus). I was expecting 768 to be the maximum, that's a physical limit. I can't do anything about it. Anyway, I added 748 MHz in case 768 is unstable for some of you.

Thank you too!
I just ported my ROM too. The no-gapps might still have some problems, not sure about it. I had only two reports and 30 downloads, maybe the errors are /data related and individual.
I'll be away for two weeks to prepare for my exams, so I'll answer your questions then.

For 768 MHz which governor, minimum and maximum CPU frequency?

camera!
video camera dont work on cm9!
with this kernel!

Thanks for such a speedy update... :good:

Hey guys, a new version of Crossbreeder has been released.. Can I install it or it can give problems with the kernel?

Best combination of performance setting ?

Hi guys, I'am use to cm 10.2 A3 Carbon rom. Can you tell me best combination of governor-IO scheduler-animation scale ?

Interactive-row
Animation scale 0.25/0.5
Zram enabled 18%(swappiness 60), Ksm enabled and purge of assets enabled.
You also can use performance governor,this set the cpu speed to the max all time but the battery life will be poor.

Good for me....
I'm on Odyssey 3.30 by Lolation:-
CPU governer:-ONDEMAND
Max cpu freqency:-800mhz
I/O ShedulerEADLINE
Zram:- 18%
Allow purging of assets - :good:
Kernal samepage merging - :good:
Animation scale - - Off (all 3 in Dev mode)

Please provide any benchmark reading with these settings. Though I believe benchmark cannot measure user's experience.
