Kernel+ for AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs
This is a kernel that I have been compiling and using on my own device for a while, and I want to share this with the community. I enjoy the CM10.1 stock kernel, but I want to keep up to date with the newest Linux version and CodeAuroraForum source. I also want the most optimized experience possible, along with a few extra features. Kernel+ is always built with the latest Linux kernel and Qualcomm CAF sources to provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience. The source can be found on my GitHub here Enjoy .
What is this?
This is a kernel based off of CyanogenMod's 'cm-10.1' branch of the Galaxy S III kernel.
Kernel+ is built with the goals in mind:
To always be up to date with the latest source from CodeAuroraForum and Kernel.org
To optimize as much as possible for the smoothest user experience
To base closely off of the CM10.1 kernel for optimal stability, not features
To provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience for users
Features
Linux 3.4.54
always up to date with the latest source straight from Qualcomm's CodeAuroraForum
latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain compiled
CPU frequency from 384Mhz - 1.5Ghz
FauxSound App support
FRandom built-in
GPU overclocked to 480 Mhz default
custom voltage control
excellent battery life
optimized and stable
small kernel size
more coming soon...

Instructions for Installing
1. Download the kernel.
2. Copy it to your phone.
3. Flash with TWRP or CWM.
Note: Kernel+ is packaged with invisiblek's AnyKernel, meaning that it will unpack your current ramdisk and repack it with this kernel during the flashing process. This means that it will be compatible with any AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, even if they have different ramdisks. Also, please make sure that you are currently running a stock AOSP kernel (CM10.1, AOKP, SlimBean, etc) before flashing Kernel+ so that your ramdisk will be compatible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I disable GPU overclock?
By default, the GPU is allowed an extra 480 Mhz freq step, whereas stock only allowed up to 400 Mhz. If you feel that you do not need the extra GPU 3D power, then you can disable it by adding the line:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_pwrlevel
to the file /system/etc/init.d/98kernelplus. Then reboot.
How do I adjust the voltages?
You can control the CPU freq voltages by using an app such as Trickster, System Tuner, SetCPU, etc.
What is frandom? How do I enable it?
Frandom is basically a more efficient random generator. It can be used in place of /dev/urandom and is 10 - 50 times faster. Using frandom will use very little of the kernel's Entropy pool, which in turn will provide better performance and smoothness. Frandom is already built-in to the kernel and enabled via an init.d script. No need to manually enable it.

I have noticed this too...but I think I had it in the CM kernel too if I remember correctly. Anyways, I am currently testing different MDP bandwidth parameters to get it fixed.
But for now, the flicker seems to go away if you check disable hw overlays in developer options.

Right. It's actually gone in the CM 10.1 kernels... a bug that was squashed some time ago. Other than that though, this kernel is really good! I've noticed better battery after using it last night into this morning.

Not yet, but I will be adding support for that soon. Note that there is an occasional flicker with this kernel on a handful of apps...it shouldn't be too bad, and I'm currently trying to fix it. But if it gets annoying you can disable hw overlays to fix it.

I just finished tweaking the MDP bandwidth parameters, and I think I have found the sweet spot. There is no more flickering at all. Just a few more things I need to add and it will be ready for a new release, probably tomorrow.

Actually this is completely different kernel than faux kernel.
This kernel is not based on CM sources, it is based on kernel version 3.0.26, one of the latest in linux-3.0.y. If you guys know, Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses, kernel 3.0.8 in stock, this is kernel 3.0.26.
Faux kernel is based on CM sources linux-2.6.xx.x .
And there are no advantages as such, but deep sleep is finally working perfectly in kernel 3.0.y versions. So maybe better battery.
Working great on AOKP..... Battery seems a little bit better.

True, stock CM9 do not have HW, neither do this kernel. And tegra2 devices will not have HW accel until Nvidia releases sources, or LG/T-Mobile release office ICS Rom.
Yes this kernel do have voodoo sound.
Appreciate your work. Thank you.
If you could please, in a timely fashion, provide the source to your changes and place it in the OP before the GPL police find out.
Thanks again!
Will there be a CM7 version of this kernel at all?

Been following this project for awhile on other threads. I've been very impressed with this work. I've been curious about something, though, and didn't want to post this question in one of the main development threads.
What is the feasibility of upgrading the kernel to 3.1,3.2, or 3.3 series? For all I know it's completely impossible as I'm sure they had a reason to use 3.0 as the base for the project. I do find it interesting, though, that 3.3 comes with "android support" (not that I really know what that means either ).

yeah they have stated that next version will come with android support, it would not be 3.3, but would be 3.4. With more android related patches.
Guys even 3.0.y was a difficult task to port to tegra2, as no source, all thanks to wkpark and his awesome talents. I think your question can be better answered by him.
But code in 3.0.y to 3.1/3.2 has changed a lot, so would be very difficult to port, specially without any other android manufacturers not having 3.1/3.2 as base make it near impossible.

Thanks for the quick response. Ya, I was just curious more about if it was a possibility. If it takes a year or more, then that's what it takes. I have complete respect for the difficulties in porting something that's never been ported before.
so far so good...tks dev
Well...I can say this gets about 500 points higher on Quadrant 2.0 than Faux SV kernel. I didn't think it was fair to compare it to the OC version.
Based off Cyanogenmod kernel.
Governors: AggressiveX, InteractiveX, Wheatley, Ktoonservative, Pegasusq, Conservative
I/O Scheduler: SIO I/O scheduler, Deadline tweaked
Other features: Sweep2Wake, increase max readahead buffer, CPU/GPU optimizations, disabled fsync, XZ compression, UV tweaks, GPU OC, Higher FSB, 4.7.3 optimization, Other misc tweaks, MPDecision & Thermal
No need to clear cache also, when you flash it will do it for you.
I have also added voltage control branch & CM-10.1 branch. These builds will be in the VC folder for voltage control and CM-10.1 for CM-10.1 of the download page.
Please let me know if you have any bugs or questions.
If you are posting any errors, please include logcat and kmsg if possible. Also please tell me what ROM you are using.
Thanks to rohan32 for all his help.

I used system tuner to see how far I could lower my volts then created a script that runs at boot to set the voltages. You could also have system tuner do it for you on boot. I just like to make thing complicated :silly:

In the future, It might be a good idea to post which Linux kernel version each download is for, that way your users know, for sure, If the current nightly is compatible with your kernel. Just a thought!

Custom kernel for the P999, Gingerbread version
--- Smooth, Fast, Efficient ---I've been requested to make this kernel because development for gingerbread (and ICS/JB hackfest) is dead for this device. You asked for a fast and responsive kernel, here it is. 'nuff said.
Original work by Faux123***Like always, I am not responsible for any damage to your device related to the use of this kernel!***
Instructions
1) Flash any compatible ROM (CM7 or hackfest)
2) Send the kernel's flashable zip to your SDCard and install it via clockworkmod recovery
3) Reboot
Afterwards...
- First boot might be slower, this is normal
- Adjust the overclocking in Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Performance->CPU Settings. A Max CPU Frequency of 1015mHz is recommended if overclocking is not required. Remember to tick "Set on Boot"

So this is my first gingerbread kernel. It's based on Faux123's work, which is already well updated and relatively stable. I backported several memory management features which makes a good increase in overall performances and smoothness. This, of course, required some adaptations since they are "normally" only compatible with linux >2.6.37.
I will also investigate the CM7 bluetooth audio bug with the newest firmware. This is why I updated those drivers. If this issue is kernel-related, then there's something I can do.

Actually it's possible..Sometimes, BSODs on android are caused by a bad CPU frequency management from the governor. In some cases, the frequency would drop too low and the device will then crash.
If that's the case here, changing the governor to smartassv2 and updating it might've fixed that issue.

Ofcourse. It was the CPU governor, as increasing the min frequency to 51x MHz eliminated the BSODs during calls too. It was mainly occurred when screen turns on and off during call or during charge. Ur governor must hv fixed it. Anyway. One request. Can u get us the boot.img version for this kernel? as dual boot doesn't work without it.

****currently working off the testing branch I created****************
Hi folks,
Im posting this kernel because there might be a number of people who want to use a custom CM10 base ROM and just want to get some better battery life. Basically its for someone who would be interested in a kernel synced with the latest CM10 sources for 4.1.2 JB and who doesn't want to go to CM10.1 ROMS yet until they become more stable.
Huge thanks goes out to Zarboz as well as ShowP1984
ShowP1984 and Zarboz are real kernel masters. I am still just a simple padawan learner, lol.
Most of the custom source code for this kernel is either cherry-picked, merged or inspired by their work.
For more information on custom kernel settings, governors, schedulers, modules, etc, please check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
Please let me know if anything doesn't work! ie reboots or other programs not working. Give the kernel some time to settle too before reporting.
And dont blame me if your device gets borked, lol. "Insert standard disclaimer here"
v1.0 Canuck Kernel
-CM10 JB Kernel sources synced 3.0.61 linux
-Governors included (and code cleaned up a bit) - brazilianwax, intellidemand, SavagedZen, interactiveX, smartass, smartassV2, lagfree, interactive, conservative, userspace, powersave, Lionheart, ondemand, performance (originally from klin's source)
-mpdecision using ShowP's code from Zarboz's AOZP source added
-Force MHL @720p60hz (also from Zarboz's AOZP)
-regular 4.6 eabi toolchains for now
v1.1
Synced with latest 3.0.62 linux
**GPS appears to be fixed and locking properly
v1.2
-Added Undervolting and Overclocking to 1.89gz (1.89 seems the most stable for folks) (taken from Zarboz Beastmode Bricked sources)
v1.3
-various fixes to undervolting, gpu overclock and to default on demand governor (also removed 2 phase on it for now).
v1.4
-removed some more problematic governors (that I also noticed were not compiled in Beastmode)
-enabled two phase ondemand
-added badass governor and cleaned up some of the badass code so that default phase frequency settings stick
v1.5
-thermald added to userspace (allows user to configure settings for when the device gets hot! ie lower cpu clock speed, etc)
-added lower default values to badass governor
**an experimental 2.1 ghz overclock version is also compiled, but that is experimental***
v1.6
-Wheatley governor added (likely the last governor I will add)
-enabled xz compression
-Fixed GPU OC so that settings stick (i recommend 266 for 2d and 320 or 400 for 3d)
-both 1.89 and 2.1 ghz versions added 2.1 ghz seems stable, just make sure you are undervolting correctly (dont undervolt a lot at the higher frequencies)
v2.0 ***Huge update thanks to Zarboz
-Rebuilt with Linaro 4.7 toolchains with -O3 compression flags
-Updated ThermalD and mpdecision source code (hot off the press stuff here!)
-Latest sweep 2 wake added
-various other fixes
v2.1
-Real -O3 compression this time ( on v2.0 it was really only -O compression)
-updated to latest CM10 sources and 3.0.63 linux
v2.2
-Added force mhl to ville defconfig for compile (feel free to test)
-Synced with 3.0.66 linux sources
v2.3
-Faux tweaked intellidemand
-Dynamic fsync enabled (by faux)
-Fastcharge enabled
v2.4
-Removed faux tweaked intellidemand (I didnt like the faux tweaks personally. Im just not sure that governors that try tie in to GPU clocks have
the right default settings to work well on the One S, regular intellidemand could be combined with other the other governors and not introduce instability. I had issues with tweaked plus smartass v2 for example)
-rebuilt using rmbq's cortex-a15 optimized toolchain (this seemed pretty cool, and I thought I would try it out. Seems like the device boots faster now too)
To use sweep to wake, when your screen is off, put your finger on the back button, then sweep all the way to the right in one motion. It works best when you do it fast. To turn the screen off, sweep in the opposite direction.
Compatible ROMs currently include (all CM10 base, not CM10.1):
-Latest CM10 nightlies http://goo.im/devs/cm/ville/nightly
-Latest PAC Man ROM
-Latest AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141549
-Latest Dark Jelly (I think)
-Any other CM10 AOSP ROM that is synced with the latest jellybean branch (not the old jellybean-stable branch) of https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8960
Install instructions:
1. Navigate to your /system/bin folder and rename the file mpdecision to something else like mpdec_backup (IMPORTANT)
2. Navigate to your /system/bin folder and rename the file thermald to something else like therm_backup (IMPORTANT)
2. Fastboot flash the boot image from your bootloader
*step one and two is needed because the kernel uses its own mpdecision and thermald controls and the ones included in your ROM are not needed and can only cause problems.
DOWNLOAD LOCATION:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=3192
****BE CAREFUL WITH UNDERVOLTING... Just want to give a fair warning... Undervolting too much, especially below 900, etc on the low end is not recomended. Read up on undervolting before doing too much more. In fact, if you are experienceing issues, try increasing the voltages.
Also recommend using kernel tuner to tweak (found in the app store), following Zarboz's suggestion. It's a good program and let's you set governors for individual cpus, tweak governors, mpdecision, gpu overclock and thermald, and settings tend to stick well.
hello there i was just going to tell you i fastbooted the kernel and it does not go past the splash screen.

Interesting. What ROM are you on? Seems to work just fine with latest PAC Man ROM on my HTC One S. Again, not much was edited at all from the CM10 Jelly Bean source. If stock AOSP JB doesnt boot for you, then neither would this. But it should work just fine on ROMs like JellyBam and PACMan, etc, etc... If it still doesnt work I will double check my upload and the boot.img.
Also, not sure if legacy files from other kernels are causing issues for folks switching over... Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121584 might help too....

Ahhh theres the answer (I think). I think 7 and 7.1 of your awesome baked ROM already use the CM10.1 base.
This kernel was not built off of the CM10.1 base, but just the straight up CM10 Jellybean. It should work with 4.1.2, but no guaruntees on 4.2.1. Does that make sense?

Successful boot on Jellybam 4.1.0! Govs and SIO showing up properly, going to start testing them individually.
For a first step, you've done an awesome job! I'm really looking forward to more releases from you. You have some serious potential. I'd be happy to test anything you need tested!
Edit: Still testing, so far so good. No broken governors!
Protip: Change your title up a bit. Replace "first build" with V1.0 and throw in an [AOSP] to draw attention.
awesome job got it to boot with jellybam 4.1.0.
Everything seemed fine but i couldnt get the Wifi to turn on.

I actually only tried out the kernel with the jellybam ROM I had installed already.
kernel cleaner? I'm going to check that out when I have time.
and i did do a couple of flashes before trying out your kernel.
I'm going to try it out on a clean install of jellybam and PAC man and I'll let you know what works for me. thanks for the response
No wifi problems here, it's likely caused by legacy kernel files. Try out the solution in Post #3 before you wipe everything. If that doesn't work, post what HBOOT you're device has.
Very nice. Thanks.
Is there a chance of getting s2w?
Kernel updated. Main update was some cleanup of some code around the governors and adding of kernel based mpdecision. This is mainly off of Zarboz's work and of course ShowP and his awesome mpdecision coding.
I know folks will want sweep to wake and a few other settings too im sure. Those things will come in time. Any other governors that people find useful? I have heard badass can be pretty good too...

IronBorn2 Kernel Mandatory Info
Source: IronBorn2 -sense2 branch
Compiler: CodefireX Toolchain
Kernel Linux Version: 3.4.10
defconfig: ville_defconfig
Hello everyone,
I am releasing a new SENSE kernel for SENSE 4.2.2 ROMS like Maximus, Viper, etc. It should install for either One S hboot.
I started with anoane's evita port then added a lot of excellent commitsfrom MikeC84's jewel kernel. HUGE THANKS TO BOTH OF THEM!!!
This kernel should seriously help with battery life on 4.2.2 SENSE ROMS. But make sure you have also frozen apps that cause serious wakelocks too (ie: google bookmark sync on viper rom)
My github: https://github.com/AKToronto/IronBorn2 Goto sense2 branch for this kernel
Github for MikeC84's jewel kernel: https://bitbucket.org/MikeC84/android_kernel_jewel/commits/all
CodefireX toolchain: https://github.com/codefireXperiment/prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86_arm_arm-eabi-4.8/tree/kk-devel
Features to highlight:
AROMA installer
In kernel MPDecision (seriously helps battery life)
In kernel three-phase thermald management
Voltage Control (for undervolting, again to help battery life)
Sound Control
Simple GPU Governor with tunables selactable
Added latest intellidemand and intelliactive governors
Added BFQ, FIOPS, ROW and SIO schedulers (FIOPS default)
Krait version export
Dynamic fsync added and enabled
Built with CodefireX toolchain, compile errors fixed for gcc4.8 and linaro -O flags
Optimized AES, SHA1 routines, RWSEM algo, etc
Led notification duration timeout mod
Enable KControl advanced GPU control
Custom ramdisk option in AROMA
MORE INFO ON MPDECISION AND THERMALD can be found at: ShowP's Bricked Kernel for One S
MORE INFO ON CPU KRAIT VERSION EXPORT
Type in the following code in a terminal window on your phone:
Code:
su
cat /sys/kernel/debug/krait_variant
This will let you see what chip version you have... The slower it is the harder it will be to undervolt
MORE INFO ON NOTIFICATION LED DURATION TIMEOUT
Use sysfs interface to change behaviour :
* /sys/kernel/notification_leds/off_timer_multiplier (rw)
*
* 0 - Notification LED will blink forever until cleared by user
* 1 - Notification LED will blink as requested by app or until cleared by user (default)
* 2 to 255 - Notification LED will blink as requested by app multiplied by value or until cleared by user

MORE INFO ON CUSTOM RAMDISK
If you want to play around and customize your ramdisk, complete your edits then save a file in the zip package as /kernel/custom.boot.img-ramdisk.gz
Then select the option in AROMA
USE THIS KERNEL AT YOUR OWN RISK! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, BACK OFF!
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION HERE:
LATEST IRONBORN2 KERNEL
Install instructions:
1. Flash the file above in recovery and make sure you are S-OFF.
IF YOU WANT TO UNINSTALL THIS KERNEL
1. Make sure to rename mpdecision_backup and thermald_backup in /system/bin/ folder to their original names before flashing a stock kernel!!! These files are not needed by this kernel because all the work is done in the kernel and not in the ROM.
2. Consider reinstalling default kernel/ROM's kernel modules as well

Has anyone been able to narrow down the issue? I know it's not the baseband bc it works on aosp roms. I will take a look at some speaker related changes on the kernel side to see if it can be narrowed down now that I am using viper a bit more. So the Ota from Maximus didn't fix it either eh?

Nope, the OTA made no difference. I know pirlano took a look at it but afaik, he wasn't able to find the cause. You could check with him for tips where to start looking. Cyanogen and the latest official version (as far as I remember) doesn't seem to have this problem so a good place to start would probably be comparing the speaker/phone/modem/etc. changes. That's a lot to go through though.
I've written this somewhere else before but my personal suspicion is that there is somewhere a threshold value which controls how much noise is filtered from the other side. My guess then is that this value has been set too high, so when a person is speaking quietly the phone thinks that it's just noise so it filters it to lower the noise floor. At which stage this filtering would be done is hard to say, but this would probably be HTCs own implementation which would explain why the problem doesn't exist on AOSP and Cyanogen.
But anyway, that is just my guess. The real cause could end up being something completely different.
If you do manage to fix it, that would be THE killer feature to make this kernel a must have for everyone using a Sense 5 ROM.

Nope, the OTA made no difference. I know pirlano took a look at it but afaik, he wasn't able to find the cause. You could check with him for tips where to start looking.

I've tried some basic stuff but nothing yet... i think I may just go at it more aggressively and replace all sound stuff with the cyanogen versions. I won't have time for a week or so though but I will put my attention to it before doing other updates
