[KERNEL] [3.1.10] [JB 4.3/4.2.2] [Purified Kernel r133] [Linaro] [18-08-2013] - Nexus 7 Android Development

Hi guys!
I'm presenting my personal kernel, that started as an addon for Purity ROM, called Purified Kernel.
Now, this project got bigger and has a life of it's own. My nightlies are called Blue Panda and I'm going to share them with you.
All I want is full smoothness, performance and battery on my grouper, so I build always with latest Linaro.
Code is based of android-tegra3-grouper-3.1-jb-mr2 plus franco commits and other useful and powerful picks.
Kernel features:
Build on Lubuntu 13.04 x86_64
Build with Linaro 13.07 gcc 4.8.2 (arm-eabi official)
Full -O3 support (SLUB allocation), with cpu and target flags enhanced, linaro build improvements, etc
Based on franco nightlies+, cherry-picks on demand
Merged from Linux 3.1.10
MultiROM support (kexec)
zRAM disabled
USB-OTG, USB Audio and 3G Dongle support
Full USB network support, updated ASIX AX88* driver to version 4.8
Enhanced performance and battery patches (deadline+interactive)
Several TCP methods (westwoood default)
Several I/O control (deadline default, 512 buffer)
CPU governor tunables (default intereactive 204-1300MHz for battery and performance),
Use amazing hotplug routines by @franciscofranco, with Hotplug Control
FSYNC, WiFi high performance and Smart DImmer on/off
GPU Scaling controls (GPU OC available, 416MHz default battery and performance)
MPU voltages tunables with UV tables
Tweaked Ramdisk for AOSP, CM 10.2 and PA
Will try to port Sweep2wake to grouper in future
FOR JB 4.2.2: Download Purified.Kernel_r77_grouper.zip, flash and profit :highfive:
FOR JB 4.3: Download Purified.Kernel_r133_grouper.zip, flash and profit :highfive:

Looks awesome! Will try it out! Any chance you could add CPU overclocking and custom brightness levels? Two of the only reasons why I don't use Franco Kernel

Gives me the confidence to release my own kernel. Great.

WOW!!! Great work my friend!!! :good:

Downloading... Thanks.

Enjoying it now, will report back if I found something wrong. xD

Go Purity!

The only thing that this kernel is missing is usb-otg support. I would love to see it added if possible.

It has USB-OTG support, I even tune it, just forgot to add to list lol

I've been using Purified Kernel for over a month. It's very smooth and excessive battery drain is absolutely minimal. :good:

Can you tell me how the battery behaves on this kernel with gaming(be it light, med or heavy) and music/video content ?

Sure. Here are my battery statistics as of right now.
My tablet has been unplugged for 2 days and 12 hours from the time of this post.
Screen has been on 2 hours and 30 minutes.
When I'm using my tablet, I do several things: browse the web, watch YouTube, play some games, browse Reddit using Reddit is Fun, text using Google Voice, and check on email/news/weather.
My current battery level is at 65%. I'm using the latest version of PurityROM.
Battery drainage is what I expect from my use.

That's weird. I tried using my USB drive with purity+purified kernel but I was unable to mount it. When I switched back to m-kernel it worked just fine. I'll give it another go when the next update comes out.

I wonder if it's native support, or do you need something like stickmount?
EDIT: Just tested and it does not appear to be native, probably would work with stickmount like franco's kernel.

Thank you eng.stk for this awesome kernel. Super smooth and battery friendly with purity ROM :thumbup:

Hi, Could you add Ad-Hoc/BSSI wifi support? m-kernel I think has it. and many roms support it.
that would be a killer feature for this kernel... you can create ad-hoc wifi from laptop or desktop and connect to your nexus tablet.
cheers.

Don't really see benefit from this, I already access the pc from ES file explorer and I don't own a laptop....

Hi! Some of you may recognize me as the lead developer of CM10 nightlies for ace, and the codefireX nightlies, as well as the Andromadus Ace maintainer. I have decided to branch off the main kernel of the CM10 nightlies and codefireX nightlies due to some performance changes which don't seem to run on all devices. There may also be some more experimental patches included here prior to in the stable branch. This is due to working on making that kernel branch more stable for CM official and ALL users. Now all the boring stuff is out of the way ...Zanzibar (ZanzDroid), I'm sorry for this breaking our post:thanks experiment.

RandomBlame's CM builds ARE NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED! This means please don't post that it doesn't boot if you're running one of his builds. I'm not at all interested in closed source development, so I will not troubleshoot
FEATURES:
Generally kept up to date with any new CM and QCom CAF display patches
Always up to date with Linux Kernel 3.0* releases
Built with the custom cfX-Toolchain. Check the toolchain changelog below for more info
VDD SysFS interface for voltage modification
Dynamic file syncing
Fast Charge on demand (check the section below for full usage instructions)
Two way call recording support
VERY aggressive bus clocks
FINALLY giving the performance of 2.6 back to us
Everything else you're used to in the nightlies, and I'm already boring myself writing this

I think 4.1.1 is too old to use with 4.1.2 out now, so I really don't see myself making a kernel for old sense roms at all. Also there are issues with the video/kgsl drivers in this kernel and old sense roms.
Edit: We're going to be on ION soon anyway which won't boot on most pmem roms.

yeah synergye!
Downloading now.. i can't wait to test your performance kernel !!
Thank a lot for your awesome work for our device abandoned by HTC !

I might, but due to being awful for battery life, I will probably do an implementation closer to showp1984's with a configurable polling interval, and default off.

Thanks for this - just downloaded and about to install

Pnoire: this what the tegra3 guy and I were benching against one another with ;P
I might, but due to being awful for battery life, I will probably do an implementation closer to showp1984's with a configurable polling interval, and default off.

Ouahh.. i've done two tests with AnTuTu
first test : only CPU and memory --> 2932
second: all test --> 4619
not bad for a DHD (max freq CPU set at 1920MHz of course

I tested, give me bootloop during boot with CodefireX build 1011 (Android 4.1.2).

Yeah really strange. I flashed it once with wiping dalvik and cache. And then without wiping something. Resault is the same. I see the HTC splash screen and then nothing. Waited about 15-20 minutes and then i pull the battery.

Maybe the download was corrupt?

I downloaded it 3 times. Maybe someone could post md5 so i can check.

As the source is safe, you can know if the zip is corrupted by trying to open it. If you get an error then the file is uncomplete and you need to download again. Else, the file is ok to be flashed.
EDIT: btw i've flashed kernel .1 after a dirty flash of 1010 and don't experience bootloop or any issue at all.

FAQ​where are older versions?
here -> https://www.mediafire.com/#2qnn5ox68806f (old older version)​Q: What is QV version?
A: QV means "qualcomm voltages". qualcomm made a patch and stuck all voltages to 1150mv to improve stability. QV version has got all 1150 mv for each freq (like older 3.4 kernels).​Q: I plugged in my pen drive but i can't found it
A: look in /mnt/usbdisk folder.​Q: What's and how i enable/disable fastcharge?
A: with fast charge an USB charger will recognized as AC charger. it won't charge your phone faster with an AC charger. it may not charge your phone faster with an USB charger.
with the usb cable UNPLUGGED edit /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable

Extract the "prima_wlan.ko" from the kernel file and replace the file with same name in system/lib/module in your phone. Then set permissions on it and then reboot.

Hi dudes,
here are my 3 ICS kernel for our HTC Sensation/XE/4G.
It supports Sense 3.6, 4.0 and 4.1.
You want more stuff in the kernel?! Tell me.
Default Modded
Stock
Ultimate
The Default one, is a modded one, that includes several stuff. You can find what exactly is in, on the post. Its thought for daily use, and my favourit.
The Stock one, is a clean and overclocked Kernel from the HTC Source (3.33.401.154).
With it you can get the best battery.
The Ultimate, is the same kernel as the Default Modded, but it can be overclocked to 2,2Ghz. Its made for guys that want to experiment with their Sensation. I don't recommend to use it as daily driver. STILL IN BUILD
I'm not responsible for anything that happens.
Hit thanks if you like my work

Oc to 2.2ghz!!!! awesome
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

I'll be expecting a lot more from our device now. Great job!

cool, TripNRaVeR was working on a 2.2 Ghz overclock, but he ended up moving to the One X....that will be the last mod i use before i fry my device and move to something new

@BanB
Are you using the latest msm_mpdecision from show-p or not?

Nice to see one more kernel dev. Good job man.

I'll post review about graphics and battery life(I adore this). Great job. The link is on.

link uploaded

HI BanB, when will the 2.2 ghz be ready, i really want that version, because me hardware can handle 1944mhz for now.... Thanks for the new kernel

The 2.2 Ghz will come in a few weeks, school is busy

s2w doesn't work at least for me....

I wonder if anyone tried the 2.2ghz frequencies? I saw the TripNRaver project but I never tried it.
I'm assuming *not all* Sensations are able to handle this sort of frequencies in a stable manner?
Also, did you updated the voltage table with the frequency?
Thank's a lot for your work man! :good:

Hi BanB,
Would you be able to add the FauxSound Audio/Sound-TPA feature. Which is mentioned in the app description so the Fauxsound TPA will be compatible with this kernel.
Thanks,
DM

Can your phone OC to 1.944GHz at 1350mV? If you have to go higher than 1350mV then your phone isn't actually running at 1.944GHz because the voltage regulator refuses to enforce anything above 1350mV.
BTW, BanB, congrats on your first kernel release
EDIT: Meant to say 1400mV, not 1350mV

Q: i've got random reboots, what do you need?
A: first read here
write this info:
kernel version
ROM
governor
scheduler
undervolted? if yes don't undervolt
QV version? if no use it
last_kmsg
Q: I plugged in my pen drive but i can't found it
A: look in /mnt/usbdisk folder.​Q: What's and how i enable/disable fastcharge?
A: with fast charge the max mA the phone can receive from an USB cable is increased
with the usb cable UNPLUGGED edit /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable
than plug in the cable​Q: what's BLN and how i enable/disable it?
with BLN on when you received a notify the soft key will blink.
to enable/disable edit /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/blink_buttons:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable​Q: what's s2w and how i enable/disable it?
Sweep2wake allows you to wake up your device by swiping your finger across the capacitive buttons from left to right. Swiping from right to left will put it back to sleep (sweep2sleep).
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable​Q: what's dt2w and how i enable/disable it?
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping the capacitive buttons.
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable​What's sleepy_plug and how can i activate/deactivate it?
sleepy plug it's an hotplug driver (it decide when turn on the second core) i wrote. it's an experimental driver and it may have got performance problem. if you notice some decrease in performance report it.
to enable/disable edit /sys/module/sleepy_plug/parameters/sleepy_plug_active:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable​Install instruction:​S-OFF:
- flash the zip in recovery
- wipe caches (optional)​S-ON:
Windows & Linux:
flash kernel zip.
stay in recovery after flashing the zip
from command prompt (ot terminal) on PC:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/newboot.img
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot newboot.img
fastboot reboot
OLD S-ON INSTRUCTION:
Linux:
- flash awesome kernel cleaning script: http://d-h.st/HDi (optional)
- flash the zip in recovery (obsolete, for older kernels with modules outside built outside)
- use zImage switcher to make a new boot.img
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot newBoot.img
Windows: (don't ask me how it works or everything else, i don't know and they have got tutorials on their site)
- repack your ROM boot.img with mine zImage using Virtuous Ten Studio http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/index.php/downloads
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot newBoot.img

should be "fastboot flash boot boot.img", or is this also working without "boot"?
will give it a try! thanks man!
any suggestions for governor and schedulers?
EDIT: eh, guess its not working with CM...so sad.

it`s booting. but I have only interactive, conservative, ondemand, powersave and performance as governors. intellimand and intelliactive are missing.
also bfqv7r2 and sio schedulers are missing.
will test a little bit more...

thanks for testing, when you have time can you tell which features are missing from the list in the second post?

post #2:
I don't know how to check all this (give me an "how to"), but I can tell you, that my(!) main features are not working: BLN, S2W and DT2W
S2W was working twice, out of ~50 attempts. and yes, I changed the values to "1".
maybe check this. S2W and DT2W are just working perfect in this kernel!
post #3:
- /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/blink_buttons:
it is only "blink". not "blink_buttons"
- cant find this: /sys/module/sleepy_plug/parameters/sleepy_plug_active
EDIT: In general for DT2W I would prefer double tapping somewhere on the screen and not only on the capacitive buttons...
EDIT2: ...and sorry. no more testing for me today. my bed (and tomorrow morning my boss) is waiting...

Is this kernel only for aosp roms like pacman or can I use it on any sense 5.5 roms too?

BLN not working for me. s2w sometimes i have to swipe more in order to wake. cpu and gpu oc not working. Max is still stock. Everything else is good for me. When will we be able to map the htc logo as a button?

Thanks for testing i'll make another version asap
And no this is only for aosp

new version is up,
added governor, schedulers, s2w dt2w l2w su2w, CPU OC and GPU OC (check if there's all this stuff)
there aren't: BLN, sleepy_plug, -O3 optimization (only O2 atm), voltage control
also faux sound control should be working

Is it compatible with STOCK ROMs, or only CM based ROMs?

Customization
Since the whole point of installing a custom kernel is to have more options available to you, here is some information regarding the tweaks available in the kernel.
Default settings: the phone will boot with the following settings (the ones I recommend sticking with if you are not into tweaking):
Governors: interactive on both clusters
Frequencies: 384-1440MHz on little and 633-1824MHz on big
Input boost: 1248MHz on little and 768MHz on big for 40ms
core_control on, msm_thermal off
Wake gestures and backlight dimmer disabled
Adreno Idler enabled
Sound controls set at 0
ZRAM enabled and UKSM disabled
zen at 128kb
Governor profiles: If you want to try and squeeze a little bit more battery life out of your phone or increase performance, you may consider exploring governor profiles. Below are some links to various posts containing links/descriptions of these profiles:
From @soniCron - HawkTail, GlassFish, and FairPark
From @Alcolawl - list of profiles
Virtual memory: I have implemented ZRAM and UKSM in the kernel and there are many ways to tweak these. I would only recommend messing with vm_swappiness but you can read about ZRAM tunables here and UKSM tunables here. To make the kernel use more or less ZRAM, type this in a terminal emulator (or change it in EX Kernel Manager under the Memory section):
Code:
echo # > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
This number can be between 0 and 100. 0 will make the kernel swap to ZRAM only if there is an out of memory error, 100 will make the kernel swap to ZRAM as much as it can. I set it at 15 by default, I would set it to 1 if you don't want to use it as much as 1 will use the minimum amount possible (basically when the phone is super under load). Highest I would go is 60 (which is the stock/default value in the Linux kernel). Read more about swappiness here. Additionally, UKSM is disabled by default. You can either enable it with EXKM or echo 1 to the sys path /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run
Frequently asked questions
1.1 Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?
1.1 A: I am not a superstar kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue. With that, I'll do my best to assist you.
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
1.2 Q: Can you add xyz feature?
1.2 A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I will not go digging super hard for commits and I will ignore requests that don't include this information. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration.
1.3 Q: How do I control the kernel?
1.3 A: I'd recommend using either @flar2's EX Kernel Manager or @Yoinx's Kernel Adiutor-Mod; both are extremely solid and have given me no issues.
Thanks to:
@REV3NT3CH for showing me what a good developer and kernel looks like
The various developers for their patches (@ak, @Buckmarble, @flar2, @franciscofranco, @frap129, @imoseyon, @jollaman999, and @Yank555 to name a few)
@osm0sis for AnyKernel2
@mdalexca for helping me with some kernel compilation issues and the prebuilt toolchain I use
@kwoktopus for giving me good advice on Makefile flags and other patches
@malybru for my nifty new signature and thread banner!
All of you guys for viewing the thread
A note about donations
Quite a few people have asked to donate to me in the past and I have turned them down. I am not in this for the money, this is my hobby, something I truly enjoy. If you truly want to donate to something (it is not expected in the slightest), I recommend an entity like the Open Source Initiative, the Free Software Foundation, XDA, or any one of the people I have thanked in the OP. Additionally, you are free to copy any and all of my work; the only thing I request is that you not ask for donations as well (though I can't really enforce this lol). Thank you.

I wanted to dedicate this post to my devoted testers:
@SM210
@Mrcactuseater
@vampire36
@ulxerker
@Psychofrantics
@Char_G
Without them, this project would not have been possible as I do not own this device. On that note, I will need a testing group for future builds, as there will be no guarantee the builds works properly without in-depth testing. If you would like to participate, join my Hangouts group through this link.
