[KERNEL][Unofficial CM11][Linaro][tate][07/12] Overclocks - 7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development

Modified kernels overclocked.
I am not responsible if this bricks your device(no reason that it should but just in case).
***Update 7/12***
kernel allow usage of ext4 or f2fs on same partition.
this will not format to f2fs.
to use f2fs go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53427756&postcount=1&nocache=1&z=32066198618380

The people who experienced a freeze at the boot animation of Hashcode's CM10.1 build will also experience a freeze here (I tested both myself), no matter which .zip file you choose. If you wish to proceed, please make sure you have Hashcode's 1.2GHz kernel on the sdcard, so that you can just flash that over and not have a paperweight on your hands. A backup would also come in handy.

Now that you guys are making new kernels does this mean we are getting any closer to enabling USB host mode? maybe also enabling the GPS that's on the motherboard?

the Tune In app is pretty amazing

could you add frandom, is faster, 10-50 times faster than urandom
https://github.com/Ryuinferno/frandom-android crossbreder has a script to use it, no the module, the module has to be made
4. Remove /dev/random as it's blocking . Link it to non-blocking /dev/urandom. Since /dev/random is blocking and designed to protect us from Quantum alien cryptographers with mathematical certainty and urandom is non blocking pseudo-random device that most apps and OSs are using anyway and with Haveged running, is as secure anyway as it's very difficult to empty the entropy pool faster than Havege can replenish it. Pre ICS devices have a lot to gain with this but ICS+ devices show visible gains too.
5. Frandom support - CrossBreeder now supports linking both your random devices to the extremely fast alternative - Frandom ( http://billauer.co.il/frandom.html ). This module is orders of magnitude (10-50 times) faster than the standard character devices ( Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37409586&postcount=134 ). The erandom character device also installed by Frandom doesn't use up system entropy at all on top of being fast. You will need to ask your ROM developer to develop the kernel module for you and then place it in /system/lib/modules. CrossBreeder will then try and load it and if successful, make all the necessary adjustments so that both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are pointing to /dev/frandom and /dev/erandom respectively. The speed benefits are to be seen to be believed. But since each ROM requires a unique kernel module, this option is left optional ( but auto detect ).
feature 5 is inportant, but the other is useful too to make our kindle very fast, or better, we couldnt see any difference but, there will be a gigant difference in system. i dont know, so many people say it is exellent

I don't believe this is correct. Although my tablet was freezing with hashcode's original 1.5ghz kernel, both of these 1.4 and 1.5ghz builds are completely stable for me. It's worth trying even if you had problems with the other, however it may not work for all devices.

will this work with the 4/22a build?

Hashcode said there were problems with hardware, and that not all 4460s are the same, so whether you think it's correct or not is irrelevant. The tablets behave differently in many circumstances from one another.

All hardware is not created equal, same reason some people may get more overclock out of a cpu then the next person with an identical setup.

I'm one of those regularly experiencing a freeze with CM10.1 (20130508 build).
I flashed the latest Hashcode build (20130511), which obviously works for me, because clock is back at 1.2GHz.
Then I flashed your kernel UV_Modified_Kernel_KFHD7_1.4GHz.zip, wiped cache & dalvik and I booted up with no problem!
But are you sure the boot is at maximum frequency?
I'm asking because, as soon as I select 1.400 MHz as max frequency in the Performance section, my KFHD7 instantly freezes.
EDIT: just had again a video acceleration during playback with MX Player (S/W decoder).

Here, let me restate my original comment in the manner it was intended to be read.
"Seokhun is wrong, even if your tablet didn't work with hashcode's first 1.5Ghz kernel you should try these. Don't let his narrow minded view of how he thinks the world works prevent you from trying this yourself."
Now, why don't you take your bad attitude and put it in a box with a little pink bow on top, and go give it to mommy. She can tell you how you're a beautiful and unique snowflake, and the adults around here can get back to doing the actual work.

It doesn't boot up at 1400, it boots at 1200 and you have to set it to 1400 if you want it there.

I stated in the original reply that I tried all the .zips that Maromi provided along with Hashcode's, you donut. If you're going to be a douchebag about it, might as well go to do something else if you don't have a more civilized comeback. By your logic, we should ignore Hashcode's advice, because Maromi's kernels and Hashcode's kernel are actually quite similar.
The problem, according to Hashcode, lies with the devices, not the kernels themselves, you donut! How dare you make a statement regarding my mother, you insolent fool. If you've got any sense of decency, at least do it tomorrow, and not on Mother's Day!

[MOD] #carlospants 780MHz patches [SuperD,FastTest]

IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS BOGUS, KEEPING THE ORIGINAL CONTENT AROUND FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES
Quick and dirty, have not tested. (ok, just flashed one of them and it seems to work).
These are repacked boot.img files for specific ROMs to add the 780MHz frequency changes (thanks Eugene!).
Flash on top of either SuperD or FastTest without a wipe.

#carlospants FTW! Dude this is so amazing!!!
I was making the patch for Carlos, since he is a noob. So I figured id release it and call it #carlospants.
Edit: I used setCPU and selected nexus one, and about 690,mhz, so far so good, much better improvement. Hope its safe

Put that on your sdcard as setcpu.txt and pick 'custom' instead of Dream/G1/Sapphire/MT3G in SetCPU

Can someone confirm if the CPU Frequency patch posted will work on fasttest 2.3 or only 2.2.9?
Just wondering before I try out this new exciting rom..
Boom.
testing on superD 1.8 --- set to moderate 600MHz max speed, I don't want my phone to explode as I use it everyday and most of the time it stays close to my ****
/system/bin/custom_init
Code:
echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
will report back on stability and noticed speed improvements in a few days
I don't think it works... Installed it on SuperD's Rom, selected Custom Frequencies, set to 660 max and 660 min, so far so good.
System Info shows 660 BogoMIPS but when benchmarking the exact same or worse values occur as when using stock 528Mhz. No difference at all, usually it's even slower...

As I and a few other people were saying in the other thread, this mod appears to do absolutely nothing. :/
When I used it, other than the frequency shown in SetCPU and in terminal, there was nothing to indicate that my phone was any faster. The benchmarks I made were also on par or worse than before using the patch.
+1 Same here.
Yup, just tried BenchmarkPi, same thing. No improvement, what-so-ever. 550/660Mhz same results
Shame though, was really wanting to try this hack on SuperD (which is already FAST by itself).
Patience, patience...
Same result as above. Good ol' placebo effect (as noted in the other thread)

*tries to look sincere while posting that*
Pretty sure its because the .txt file was messed up, had some spaces in some of the mhz scalings.
I fixed it and uploaded it again, try it out now.

Rename setcpu.txt and place in root of sdcard, choose custom in setcpu.
Its running fine for me, just applied everything and checked BogoMIPS. Running at 778 mhz.

[KERNEL] Undervolt driver for the stock HTC kernel for EVO 4G and others (2.6.32.15)

This kernel module allows you to run any stock HTC Froyo kernel with lowered CPU voltages. Reducing voltage decreases power consumption by the CPU, thus lowering heat and increasing battery life.
INSTALL:
You need root or an unrestricted recovery image (e.g ClockworkMod) to install this. The default settings decrease voltage by 75-100 mV which seems stable on my device (HTC Desire) and is reported to be fine on the EVO. Just download the attached file and select it from recovery or ROM Manager.
I've built "update.zip" files for the EVO 4G with Linux kernel versions 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0, 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e, and 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50. You can check your kernel version in Settings->About phone->Software information.
Other HTC devices running Froyo are supported. If you have a different device, please give me the full version number and I can add an update.zip for it.
Full details and source are in the original thread in the Desire forum:
[KERNEL] Undervolt driver for the stock HTC kernel for Desire and others (2.6.32.15)
Update, 2010-11-22: Added driver for 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e.

Maybe not. I run the netarchy kernel but don't OC because it seems to crash at random times. I use it because the battery life is better than stock.
I'll revert to a clean back-up and give this a try just for giggles.
I would like to see some results.
I say that because I have tried a few havs roms and get worse battery life.
I think what a lot of people don't realize unless they are heavily into overocking is that microadjustments just dont have much effect there needs to be some substantial drops to really have any effect on battery and heat.
I realize that this is no desktop or laptop cpu, and that this cpu is based off such low voltages but such minor voltage adjustments, 80-100mv just arent going to have the desired effect unless that equates to a "substantial" voltage drop.
Not to mention the fact that most of you are going to overclock your phone without the faintest idea that doing so, even with a lower cpu voltage, will still cause worse battery life. This is a fact.. to argue it is futile. Its the nature of the beast.. do some reading and find out for yourself.
You can overcome some things by using on demand overclocking but you have to do extensive testing to find the sweet spot.

Nice work. I'm not interested in oc'ing, nor flashing a custom kernel. I may give this a go after a few others check in w/ results. I just want to know that it's stable.
I went to your other thread and saw the source. Clever solution, nice work. I really do like that you wrote a device to /proc that does a little more than report the frequencies back. This will make it very easy to write some scripts, or even a UI, that lets me tweak the settings. Hopefully I have some time to work on that in the upcoming weekends.
Will take a look at this first chance I get. Trying to finish my battery logger since everything available now doesn't log exactly what I want to know. Kudos.
Does this make HAVS obsolete ?

Undervolting meaning only when screens off or on and off ?
I installed and will get the best battery life yet. Better than when I was with King and other kernels....thanks!!!
Anyone have any results from flashing this yet? How is battery life? Any stability issues?

No stability issues and it seems to help on battery a little bit but I really can't tell a big deference. I was expecting for it to help out more. Thanks anyways OP for the share
i did say those little microvoltages aint gunna make any difference.
plus if you try to overclock you just cancelled any lowered voltages and actually cause higher power draw than stock mhz at stock voltages.
higher mhz equals higher power draw whether you have it undervolted or not.
you have to make a signifigant drop in voltage to make any difference at all. let alone if you try and overclock.
not trying to dog the guy who discovered this i am just sing plain and simple math, heat, and electronic voltages.

This isn't a kernel its just a couple of files that go with the kernel. One file for initial boot ect/initd and a .ko file that goes in system/lib/module folder.
I have an Evo, [email protected] #11. I would like to try it. Please build an update.zip to support it.

[Tiamat kernel 1.4.1) Random reboots on Xoom

Hi all,
I've been having random reboots/freeze-ups ever since I rooted.
This happens regardless of whether I am OC'ed or at 1ghz. These reboots tend to happen when watching Youtube or when browsing.
Would just like to have a feel of the ground if any of you who are rooted experiencing this?
Maybe we can start off by stating the following:
Kernel:
Clock Speed:
OC app: Setcpu or Droid OC
Governor setting: Interactive, on-demand etc..
Last app you were in that caused reboot:
For me, I am on the following:
Kernel: Tiamat 1.41
Clock Speed: 1ghz or 1.2 ghz
OC app: Setcpu
Governor setting: Interactive
Last app you were in that caused reboot: Youtube, browser
Im not sure if this thread shld belong here but since this is Dev where most of us root and OC, I thought I'd ask it here and hopefully we spot some trends with regard to the reboots.
Pls dun flame me Thanks!

Not sure if it's because I flashed 1.4.0 then flash 1.4.1 to get the external sd card to show up. But I noticed after I got the external sd card to work, my usbOTG started working too, but from what I've read that should have been removed in 1.4.1 for stability issues.
Same issue. Using the tiamat kernel. It happens with different apps so its not any one for me.

Switch to Droid oc and delete setcpu. Worked for me. Interactive. On demand is junk on Xoom. I use on demand on DroidX.
The kernel will Max to 1504 causing reboot (on some Xooms). Some device can't handle 1504, mine included. Superuser will throw up an occasional user permission for Droid oc as it brings the MHz back down to user setting.
I was experiencing random reboots with the same kernel, mostly just browsing in Dolphin HD. I first stopped OC in setcpu but the reboots still occurred. Then I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash 10.2 and cleared Dolphin's data.
So far, it seems to be much more stable and even battery usage has toned down.
This shouldn't have been moved to Q&A. There is enough discussion at this point on this exact topic that it needs to be addressed. There is a serious problem with the over clock in the tiamat kernel and/or the software that is supposed to govern the overclock. The developers here work very hard for all of us to get the most out of our devices and I fully support them in their work, but we are putting ourselves at risk. It is my understanding that SETCPU and Droid Overclock are only able to govern One of the Dual Core processors while the other is overclocked all the time. There is a widget in the Marketplace (Temp+CPU V2) that will enable you to monitor your clock speeds.... See for yourself.

I installed temp+CPU and don't see two cores. Only one display for MHz and it cycles from 216 to 1200. Is there a screen I'm missing?

This is right where it should be... Development forum is for developing...Discussing does not go there unless its in a thread where something was developed...The tiamat crew knows all about it...they did not make the overclocking, they used someone elses, and are about to remove out. And yes you are correct on the 2nd core.

Remove it? So no more overclocking? Can't a ROM allow OC and voltage control? But I guess it always comes back to the lack of source code.

Kernel source is available. It's the rest of Honeycomb that isn't.
So what is the best resolution to the problem? I get at least 5-6 reboots a day...I dl'ed Droid OC and deleted setcpu.
I had a harder time getting it to reboot with Droid OC so I think that's your best solution for now.

This is probably the best thing to do. If you think about it; Can't be good if your device is rebooting all the time, plus it's just too annoying.

[Q&A][Kernel] Infusion-Z and Zen kernels, questions on other kernels welcome

Please post your Infusion-Z and Zen kernel-related questions here...
Reserved
for future use
Tips, Tweaks, etc...
performance and battery tweak #1 - best antutu score - 4072
in testing the 2nd update of the infusion z kernel i came up with a configuration that consistently performed well on benchmarks (and in real phone use too!). I figured i'd share it here for others to try. (standard disclaimer from kernel thread still applies - you bork it, you bought it - not me). Feel free to post your experiences - any improvements i can confirm will be posted here..
flash coreA-16 kernel
in cwm, enable voodoo lagfix and system conversion
in phone cpu manager (i recommend voltage control) set the following:
- max to 1600 (minimum to 100)
- i/o scheduler - cfq
- governor - ondemand
- voltage - enable 1600 setting
- voltage - set undervolt to -50 across the board
- apply settings, then touch the menu key to save boot configuration

As soon as Samsung releases source for one I'm all over it
I wouldn't hold your breath though...
I know you know this , but for other readers: CM9 / AOKP threads have "ICS on Infuse" options in development. The Infusion-Z kernel is GB, intended for Samsung "stock" based ROMs.
entropy dd charging tweaks!! can't wait!!
Just wondering... its helpful for me and probably not anyone else lol but is there av out functionality?
There is AV out via the MHL to HDMI adapter that plugs into the usb connector. If your target device does not support HDMI there are converters available that should get you what you need.
If you are looking for something else, please reply with more specifics.

I will look into that thanks... anyway like i mean through the headphone jack, like the original galaxy s phones did. I would provide you a link, but am currently up extremely late doing homework. I think our devices are capable of doing it, its just the addition was never added to the kernel.
Hi Zen
You can also throw us "Zen ROM" fully tweaked with your kernel.
What kernel to use with AEON ROM?
Forgive me for asking, but before I flash, I'd like to know what kernel users would recommend flashing for use with AEON ROM? And for my own edification, why do you recommend it? I'm still trying to get my hands around the difference between a ROM and a kernel.
Thanks,
atk
These kernels can be used on any Gingerbread based Roms for infuse.

There are kernels based on source code released by Samsung, intended to be run with ROMs based on Samsung source. There are also kernels based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) that will work with ROMs developed from AOSP sources. You cannot run an AOSP kernel with a Samsung-based ROM and visa versa.
In general, kernels are what manage the phone hardware and provide a common interface to the ROM and applications running on the phone.
If you are running Aeon you have two kernel groups to choose from: Entropy's daily driver - better on battery and includes fast charging hacks, or Infusion - geared more toward faster performance with overclocking. With updates in the past two months both provide most of the features available in the stock kernels along with being rooted to support custom ROMs.
You can click on the "ISET" link in my signature to get to the "super everything thread" with links to all the options available fo the Infuse.
Or, if you want to keep it simple, just flash Aeon and use the kernel that comes with the ROM.

I have better values using noop and conservative. But my current high antutu score is 3911.
With cfq and ondemand - 3751
Still- 3911 is pretty great!
EDIT: But 4060 is even better! Still noop and conservative with -50mv down the line.
I use aeon and your newest kernel a oc to 1600 uv -50 all the way down,
when ever I play words with friends after I make a play and the ad pops up I click okay then it usually freezes up and get a black screen and I have to hit back a few times to get out and eventually get a fc screen then it works again.
Same thing if I go open a text message while playing for example and try and go back to words with friends it freezes up again..
What could be causing this?
It doesn't really do it with entropys dd just this one, it also does the same if I don't oc and leave it at 1200
Any ideas? Thanks

1. dont undervolt.
2. your phone may not be able to hand the oc to 1.6 ..try Zen-B 1.4
My phone has worked fine oc to 1600 before, and if I don't uv my battery life well suck..
Maybe I'll give b a shot..
Just seems multi tasking bogs down some could be a combination of tweaks conflicting, I'll try b or not oc with less uv and play around till something works

I have never been a fan of oc...I have so many that love to oc their phones, pc...so on...imho oc degrades your hardware, sure you rocking it while it lasts on 1.6 + oc, and sure the phone can handle it, when it can. but just like any type of hardware i.e. computers, phones and so on, your gonna bring the hardware down. And will wear out....imo.
Not saying you should or shouldn't, just a thought, I can't afford to degrade my phone or computer, so I just run it at speeds that it was designed for, but even flashing custom rom is not safe either...so I understand the need for speed, but if your gonna fly....ensure you have parachute just in case you crash and burn... Ok enough of my old man talk...

[Kernel]A701 JB 4.1.1 CPU/GPU UV [22-11-13]

TrollSlayer version 3 Kernel​
Ok folks, got a kernel for our A701 stock JB 4.1.1 and Evil Alex Purgatory
This is NOT for CM/AOKP/PA/ etc builds.
Keep in mind, I am not a kernel developer, and this is my first attempt. So it's pretty basic right now. I've been running it for a couple weeks, and it seems to be pretty stable.
First of all Credits and Thanks @civato - For being a wealth of info and a good Mate @sgt. meow - Govs & Schedulers and all his help @scrosler - For Help in compiling @faux123 - Dynamic Fsync & UV @verboth - Original Speedo Fake
The Kernel
Based on Acer JB 4.1.1 source
Compiled with Google toolchain
Features
CPU OC to 1500Mhz (on by default)
GPU OC to 520Mhz (on by default)
CPU UV tables
Dynamic fsync control (on by default)
Governors
lulzactive
lagfree
smartass2
pegasusq
Schedulers
row
sio
Gaming fix by faux123
RNDIS (not tested)
Cifs support
NTFS support currently via Stickmount app.
Dynamic fsync via Trickster app. I advise Trickster for settings.
Known issues:
OC apps not correctly reporting 1500Mhz on "ramp-up", but benchmarks report normal OC.
UV: I advise dropping voltage by 50mv at first, then by 25mv until you find the best voltage for your CPU.
Install: Flash through CWM. No need to do wipes, the install will do it.
Download Version 3
Alternate Download

Enjoy

Changelog
22/11/2013- Version 3 initial release
Notes
Dynamic Fsync
This is a goodie by faux123, so all credits go to him for creating this unique feature !
Many kernels just disable synchronous writes to file to speed up system. While this works neatly, it is also dangerous as processes believe that file writes are actually sync'ed to disk (or mmc media in our case) while this is not yet true !
The gain is a noticably smoother user experience, but the risk of doing so is to have a corrupted filesystem if the device crashes, user pulls battery, battery fully depleats ... so that the device is turned off unexpectedly.
To allow for the benefit, but to minimize the risk, faux123 created dynamic fsync, which while the screen is on, will defer file sync temporarily, but when screen gets turned off, a flush is called to synchronize all outstanding writes keeping your data safe.
Now it's up to you to either use this unique feature, at default it is enabled = Better performance
If you turn it off = writes will be done synchronously, which is safer but also slower..

Things to do for next version
Fix NTFS issue - probably fuse/ or Acer may have left debug code
OC companion core
Fine tune Governors as per cores ramping
Display sensitivity?
Good to see a (new) kernel for A701. But does this also work on A700 as well?
And a lil off topic: can anyone suggest me a good app to manage cpu/gpu?
Installed and.. awesome! :good:
Sweet. Someone try it on the 700! I won't get the chance on mine until tomorrow!

Trickster Mod seems to work well for me. If you're not going to turn off fsync, then you can use SetCpu. Trickster is a strange interface, and sometimes I forget to save my settings.
As with working on the A700, it might. Don't have a 700 so really can't tell you.

Flashed it just now and works really well. Feels snappier :good:

Considering Purgatory runs fine on the 700, I would say it "might" run on stock 700. But I see you are running Iconian. Vorbeth isn't around anymore, for a long time, but looking as his git, I saw he was using some CM code, which tells me Iconian may be a "hybrid" rom. If you get boot-loop, probably just flash his kernel package.
Actually never got around to changing my signature. Been running your E.A.P for most of a month now. I'll try the kernel over the weekend.

Will look at the defconfigs and see if I can turn off the annoying "no sim card" function as it seems a few people use EAP on the 700. Would mean a new kernel build though.

Thanks Mate! You helped!
But got an issue that has happened to every Acer kernel source since the A500 days. NTFS breaks every time a kernel compiles using Acer source. Options for NTFS file system set to yes, or module in defconfig. Doesn't matter. When compiled, NTFS drives won't mount. Only option is Stick Mount. Stock kernels from Acer are fine.
On the Sammy forums, there was some info about the same issue (similar). Sammy's dev team reply was they left several DEBUG options on in defconfig. You ever heard of that? I've noticed a couple of the same are still set in the picasso_mf_defconfig.
If you can flash the stock kernel and grab the config.gz from /proc/ (I know you've probably tried this) try comparing both configs(the one in the stock kernel with the one you use).

Hey, you're talking to MD! I can flash "anything"! :laugh:
Good idea and thanks! This will allow to see what configuration Acer uses when "they" compile.(actually forgot about proc/config.gz) must be getting old........
Thanks, I'll definitely try this on my a700. Will report back over a couple of days.
First I've to wait for my third charger
Hi,
I test the kernel for several days on my A700. In everyday life, there is no problem.
But when I play a video with the BSPlayer via HDMI to the TV, there is strong interference. It formed in intervals disorders.
The image is displayed in many thin horizontal stripes and it comes to short interruptions, the tone shifted more and more.
To continue to use the tablet helps, just restart. It seems to be due to the overclocking of the GPU.
With the stock kernel from your Rom is everything OK again.
I hope you understand what I mean and it helps in the development.
best regards
JoSch
