GalaTab3 Kernels for either JellyBean or KitKat ROMS - SM-T310 8.0 - TouchWiz
Warning:
As always, flash at your own risk. I'm not responsible, in any way, for what you flash, copy, fiddle with, poke, molest or otherwise screw with on your phone or tablet....
*** Important ***
- I recommend using TricksterMod or a similar CPU/Kernel modification app to adjust the settings/configurations. Although I am a huge fan of Faux123 and his Kernel app, it does not play nice with Exynos CPU's or Mali GPU's (especially the two together). Maybe it will in time, but only someone of his genius can figure it out. But, I have implemented the features specifically to allow TricksterMod to have full access to the controls. You can get the app HERE
USB Audio Mod for JellyBean ROM's ONLY
Flash this file to allow USB Audio functionality to work 100%. This will work in conjunction with my kernel and allow you to use external DAC's and bypass the internal audio hardware/software completely. This provides MUCH better sound quality and higher bitrates (depending on the DAC you choose to use).

Releases & Downloads
Version 14.7.16 (KitKat) - Download - KitKat ROM's ONLY
- STOCK KitKat NF4 4.4.2 Kernel
- Built from newly released source code by Samsung
- Added Root/SuperSU binaries
- Added Init'd Functionality
- Added mock location functionality in default prop
This is the base in which I will be building the new KitKat custom kernels from. Obviously, I wanted to add some of the basic functions, like Root and Init'd so nothing is reverted from any custom ROM's you may have flashed. This is not a copy of the kernel from the stock ROM.... This is built against the source code. I will be adding features and customizing this kernel shortly and will begin uploading the new versions ASAP. My main focus is to get it overclocked first and then I will fine tune some of the stock features and add new stuff along the way.
Version 14.5.27 (JellyBean) https://www.mediafire.com/?b0h9ii661x113d9
- Last JellyBean Kernel Release
- Same features as Version 14.4.8r2
- Camera now working. Fixed driver loading error.
- Refreshed source code and toolchain
- Adjusted charging current for USB, Dock and Misc charging modes. Now all register as "A/C" current.
- Misc code updates and fine tuning.
Version 14.4.8r2 (JellyBean)https://www.mediafire.com/?m29aztntz2jx613
- Cleaned up some code
- Speed modifications to allow for smoother daily use
- Transitioned some kernel modules to be built in primary image for faster load times
- Finished adding Sweep2Wake code - still needing to finalize trigger processes (so feature is not active yet)
- Adjusted USB Audio function at Kernel level. Will provide an updated framework file to implement this fully and allow for 100% native function. Allows total compatibility with external DAC's and complete bypass of internal audio hardware/software.
Version 14.4.3 (JellyBean)https://www.mediafire.com/?kv44k85q41878y9
- Reverted some edits to allow previous steady kernel workflow
- Added additional USB Audio/Video Kernel functions based on user requests
(You now do not need proprietary apps to play to external dacs or video decoders)
- Additional dock features added for broader compatibility
- Reverted Init'd files to previous versions
Version 14.3.25 r2 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/t60k13chcat5b3f/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.3.25_r2.zip
- Fixed Init.d Functionality Problems. Now runs on boot as it is supposed to
- Revised several of the init.d scripts from past releases and added several new ones.
- Enabled Debugging & Mock Locations by default.
- Added several Audio Interface and DAC drivers (some as modules, some built in). This will allow for a much broader driver base for external DAC's connected via USB.
After flashing and booting, I highly recommend you set your Trickster settings again (and remember to set to boot). The new tweaks adjust some of the kernel performance values and if you use your old Trickster profile, it will reset these new values to those of previous releases. I will be evaluating and adjusting these new values in future releases to determine which have the best results on our devices.
"Stock" GalaTab3 Init.d Files (Flashable) - http://www.mediafire.com/download/u2slgste63dpx1l/GalaTab3_Original_Init.d_Files_Flashable.zip
Flash this if you want to use the normal Init.d Files with the new kernel.
Version 14.3.18 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/xbx12xq493n68e8/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.3.18.zip
- Updated/Enhanced SLUB performance features. Allows for much faster ROM and file systems
- Adjusted ExFat file system calls within kernel. Now loads ExFat file systems twice as fast.
- Added initial code for Sweep2Wake and DoubleTap2Wake features. NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED YET - need to fine tune some parameters to make these features compatible on our devices.
Version 14.1.6 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/download/8ycwqq7wt4kaqi5/GalaTab3_Kernel_v14.1.6.zip
- Added 3 CPU Governors for extra versatility - SmartAss3, Lulzactiveq & zzmoove (Thanks Civato!!!!)
- Updated LZO Compression code to allow for vastly improved performance and compression speed (helps with many aspects of I/O speeds and boot times)
OLDER RELEASES/INFORMATION
Since it's the holidays - I thought I would give you all your first gift...... in the form of a newly updated Kernel release! I know.... this was on the top of your list of crap needed......
Basically, I completely started again from scratch and an re-implemented past features and some new ones. I wanted to make sure that the features were 100% compatible and efficient for the Tab 3 and that additional features were not stacked on top of broken code. In short..... this has been a huge pain in the a*# and I can't believe how hard it has been to implement features that are so widely available on other architectures. Mainly, the Mali GPU has been the biggest pain - that and all of the errors and bugs in the stock firmware.
After speaking with MANY developers and observing other device forums, I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one. The new releases of 4.2.2, 4.3 and 4.4 ROM/Kernels have caused a lot of problems with both the poor code and dramatic architecture changes from Google and Samsung. But.... here you are..... a fresh new release that is running well.
Version 13.12.21r5 (JellyBean) https://www.mediafire.com/?ggruj3gqj3gywx7
- Completely Re-wrote Kernel Mod's and/or re-implemented functional features (that are known to be stable)
- Built against an updated & modified 4.7.3 Android Toolchain (up from 4.4.3)
- Added and Implemented Boeffla Sound Engine (You can use a few apps to control the engine)
- Fully implemented GPU Controls!!! Overclocked to 700mhz but works very well at 533mhz (without having to burn through your battery)
- Independent CPU and GPU throttling based on your use. (i.e. - GPU does not ramp up if you are processing heavy data)
*** Again, use TricksterMod to adjust GPU frequencies to your liking)
- Re-Implemented CPU Overclock from 50mhz - 1900mhz
- Rewrote and modified Hotplug for better performance and ramp up's
- Cleaned up several algorithms and eliminated code that is not used on our device
- Eliminated several debugging functions (thanks to ketut.kumajaya for his previous work)
- Added back several additional drivers for BT and USB connections
- Full OTG and Dock features - including charging while using OTG and MHL/HDMI
On a quick test before uploading - this new revision scored over 18000 on the benchmark without implementing "Performance" CPU or overclocking the GPU beyond 533mhz. I'm not a "gamer", so I'm sure some of you will put this to the test, but the core function of this kernel has surpassed the Galaxy III (which I also own). The GPU function and frame rates tripled compared to the last update a month ago!
ENJOY and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!!!
Version 13.11.08r2 (JellyBean) http://www.mediafire.com/?7cdajhmh5080075

Download v13.10.7 - http://www.mediafire.com/download/iknplvhjvraud3p/GalaTab3_Kernel_SM-T310_Tab3-13.10.7.zip
I figured I would kick off some of the development for the 8.0 version of the Galaxy Tab 8. I've included the kernel I created recently which has helped with several performance issues and allows for OTG with Charging on our Tab 3 8.0.
Version: 13.9.20 (JellyBean)
Features:
- Based on MH1 4.2.2 Source from Samsung
- Compiled from ARM-EABI 4.4.3 ToolChain
- Added "OnDemand" CPU Governor support (Full)
- Added Support for Samsung's SmartDock, AudioDock, OTG and MHL Cable functions (added features/detection roles)
- Added full OTG support and function. This allows for various OTG compatibility and OTG Charging.
- Added MHL Chip Driver, 11 Pin Micro USB Connector Support and fix for MHL HPD Glitch
- Added additional USB Gadget support for devices (Including the Native Android USB Gadget Functions)
- Additional support for FUSE Filesystems - added functionality
- Several bug fixes
**** To enable OTG plus Charging, your OTG cable must have a 64.9k Ohm resistor between the ground and sense ID pins. This will engage the SmartDock function on the tablet, allowing for OTG/USB Hub, MHL, USB Audio and Device Charging simultaneously.
- Please search Google and XDA for making your own OTG cable. This thread is NOT for asking questions about building cables, problems with OTG function, etc..... I have enabled full function in this kernel and this has been extensively tested by several users - IT WORKS!!!!.****
- In order to utilize the OTG and MHL functions, you will need to add an additional hub or MHL port to your OTG cable. Again, this is not the forum for asking how to do this - use Google and XDA as resources on how to build. Chances are, if you don't know how to do this, then you should not be using this function anyway.....
- OTG Charging requires you connect the device to an AC Samsung Charger (OEM, the one that came with device) or a DC Charger that provides 5V, 2+ amp output. Connecting to another charger without this output will limit the functionality of the charging feature.
- I HIGHLY Suggest using an external powered hub to connect additional USB devices (Memory Sticks, Keyboards, Mouse, Bluetooth, Modem, Etc...).
This is just the beginning and the first release of this kernel. There will still be bugs and quirks that will need to be ironed out. I'm actively working on several features for our SM-T310 devices and future releases will contain major feature upgrades and bug fixes (that are native in Samsung's Source Code).
Enjoy and I will update the OP with add'l information on releases as I have them complete. Do not ask for ETA's!!!!! I will not release until I feel comfortable with the stability and functions. I'm almost finished with my ROM as well, which will contain this kernel. Just need to finalize some theming. I'll release that this week.

This kernel is like a bause!!!! Highly recommend this kernel. Did some benchmark and it perform better than on stock kernel..... Used nenamark 2 and scorked about 58.5 fps and quadrant it scored higher than the HTC one x. Kudos to the developer of this kernel
Glad everyone is liking it. As an update, I'm finalizing the tweaks on a few new features and should have an updated version posted in the next couple days. Trying to implement OC and some add'l Govs plus some tweaks for faster otg charging.
Are there any specific drivers that you are needing within the kernel? If so, let me know and if enough users need a specific driver for an accessory/gadget then I'll add it in.

It may be a specific driver for the chip set on the vga converter you're using. I'll look to see if there are any vga options in the source.

NOTICES: If you are noticing abnormally high battery drain and/or uptime, and you've updated to PRI 1.90, it has come to my attention
that this PRI has been problematic for a number of people, often resulting in large uptimes and/or poor battery life.
This issue affects people regardless of whether or not they are using a custom kernel
Downgrading your PRI and NV to 1.77 has been reported to resolve this issue.
You can find all PRI and NV versions by clicking here.
Due to troubling reports of battery issues possibly caused by the SBC battery charger modification, it is worth mentioning that by using any SBC build, you
fully assume any and all potential risks that the SBC modification may pose.
"netarchy-toastmod" is a kernel originally based on the GoDmOdE sources (Courtesy of Toast) integrating my work on fixing the fps for the Epson panels, and as of version 3.6.1, also integrating a fix for the Nova panels that does not require the use of Evo switch or manually setting any registers, etc, courtesy of work done by AssassinsLament (Well done on the nova fix). Special thanks needs to go out as well to Cyanogen and the cyanogen mod team, as a number of bugfixes and updates to the kernel in recent revisions have been ported over from cyanogen mod to enhance the overall netarchy-toastmod experience.

A note on multitouch:
Some of you may have used my 5point multitouch test builds with success, others with failure. Research has shown that the Evo's contain at least 2 different versions of the touch sensor, one of which does not support 5point multitouch (but it DOES support 3point). You can check which sensor you have using adb by issuing the following command: "adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/vendor" and examining the result. If your result is ATMEL_x0080_x0016, your phone can support 5point. If your result is ATMEL_x004F_x0016, your phone will only support up to 3point.

Disclaimer:
While these builds have been deemed generally safe, it is not feasible to account for all possible combinations of custom roms and uses,
custom roms may experience some breakage depending on how some features are set up, as these builds are not aimed at any one particular rom.

These use Koush's anykernel for installation and should theoretically work on -any- rom.
*note* This is designed to be flashed over a phone that already has a working kernel of some kind flashed,
whether it's a stock kernel, or another custom kernel. In other words, if you can currently boot up your phone into whatever rom you have, this should work. ;D
The universal kernel also does not contain the tweak scripts of the normal build (ie; zipalign on boot and the dalvik tweak), it's intended to be a universally compatible kernel.
This also happens to mean the universal builds will probably work on CM

FAQ:
Code:
Havs: Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling, basically tries to undervolt as much as possible to conserve power, but adapts to things like cpu load and temperature.
No Havs: Static voltage scaling, every cpu speed pulls a specific amount of power from the battery, no variation
CFS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler
BFS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler
Q: Do I need to be rooted to use this kernel?
A: Yes, you need to be rooted, preferably a full root with nand unlock,
Q: How do I flash this kernel?
A: Copy the zip to your sdcard, and flash it from recovery mode
Q: My phone is suddenly unstable after using this kernel and I experience
weird things like reboots or other bugs
A: Are you overclocking? Try lowering the max speed of your overclock.
If the problems stop, you were overclocking too hard. If not,
please include the following information when reporting issues:
1. Your Baseband
2. What rom you're using
3. Your software number
4. Your panel type (Nova or Epson)
5. A Description of what's happening
Q: Why can I only overclock to 1152mhz? (In builds prior to 4.1.x)
A: Frequencies above 1152 have repeatedly turned out to be unstable for
a large percentage of users, so they have been removed to
eliminate the temptation to use them (and then complain because
they are unstable ;D).
Q: Does this kernel work with 2.2 (Froyo) roms?
A: The "Froyoized" kernels do
Q: Will this kernel work with my custom rom?
A: Maybe. The general population build of the kernel should work with
*most* custom roms, but as each custom rom can have it's own
customizations, your mileage may vary. In some cases, particularly
when a lot of customizations are in the rom's ramdisk, the kernel
must be repackaged with the ramdisk from the custom rom to be compatible.

- Unnecessary extra debugging turned off for public builds, should result in a small speed boost
Notes for Revision 4.3.2
- Wimax code updated, 4g should behave a bit better
- SD card read ahead fixed, higher class SD cards should
have an easier time reaching their potential speeds
Notes for Revision 4.3.1
- Screen tearing issues on sense roms should be fixed
Notes for Revision 4.3
- Camera drivers updated to support phones with the newer camera sensors
- ms79723's SBC v7 mod integrated for enhanced battery charging
- Misc speed tweaks/optimizations
Notes for Revision 4.2.2
- Kernel updated to 2.6.32.27
- Conservative set as default governor again
- Conservative governor defaults tweaked
- Less aggressive build has even more relaxed undervolting to aid those with REALLY picky phones
Notes for Revision 4.2.1
- Kernel updated from a 2.6.32.15 to 2.6.32.25
- Interactive governor added and tentatively set as default in some test builds
- Smartass governor added and tentatively set as default in some test builds
- Added BFS 357 smartass builds
Notes for Revision 4.1.9.1
- HAVS has made a return, this should help improve battery life by automatically dynamically undervolting the cpu when possible
Notes for Revision 4.1.8
- Added the BFQ I/O scheduler
- Split out kernel editions, now users have a choice between a CFS or a BFS kernel, if you don't like one, try the other ;D
- Enabled shadow writes on the gpu, which may result in better performance in opengl applications
Notes for Revision 4.1.7
- Add BFS to the kernel
- Allocate more memory to the gpu, this may result in better performance in opengl applications
- A rabid naked bunny vampire has materialized under your bed. Be afraid.
Notes for Revision 4.1.6
- Users with touchscreen issues should find their touchscreen is no longer as responsive as a stereotypical wife on her 10th anniversary
Notes for Revision 4.1.5
- Banished HAVS into the fiery pits of hell for now due to its inability to remain stable with any attempts to overclock. I'll be working on this on the side for possible future re-inclusion
- Clock frequency table remains opened up, with static undervolting in place
- Thanks to l33tlinuxh4x0r for being a guinea pig and helping test this build
Notes for Revision 4.1.4
- The beast responsible for the ridiculous overclocking instability at *any* speed beyond stock has been severely beaten and castrated by rabid naked bunnies (without anesthetic)
- Update scripts redone in the interests of making sure people who have had issues flashing the kernel in the past can do so
- The conservative governor has had some more tweaks to give it better out of the box performance, but you are free to set ondemand as your governor in setcpu if you wish. (If you want to migrate to ondemand you'll also need to set it as the governor in your setcpu profiles)
- The clock frequency table is fully opened up (re-detect frequencies in setcpu to see them) As always your mileage in overclocking may vary, but for some perspective, I ran 1152 through many loops of neocore and quadrant just fine.
Notes for Revision 4.1.3
- The ondemand governor is enabled as an option (switch to it in setcpu if you want to use it, remember you'll have to update your profiles to use it as well).
The default currently remains conservative to have a balance between performance and battery.
- The small segment of users getting bootloops due to the undervolting being too aggressive should be able to boot the kernel now (though if it persists the undervolting can still be adjusted)
Notes for Revision 4.1.2
- All frequencies above 1152 should now be properly visible/usable in setcpu (You may need to re-detect speeds in setcpu first)
Notes for Revision 4.1.1
- Hot on the heels of 4.1.0, a minor versioning fix ;D (4.1.0 reports itself as 4.0.3)
Notes for Revision 4.1.0
- Adapted HAVS for the evo, this may improve battery life by allowing the cpu to run at lower voltages when possible
- The overclocking range has expanded to allow attempting to clock above 1152, Remember that overclocking is unpredictable and potentially unstable by nature, if you encounter problems overclocking, lower the speed.
- Some threshold adjustments to the conservative governor in the interest of improving performance without obliterating battery
- Wired tethering should theoretically work, however if there are problems with the app, an alternative is azilink for wired tethering
Notes for Revision 4.0.3a
- An experiment of sorts, changing from the ondemand speed governor to the conservative governor (with some tweaks), in the interests of keeping good performance with less impact to battery life.
- Rewritten update scripts to hopefully alleviate the small number of people who seem to be having a problem flashing the kernel
Notes for Revision 4.0.2:
- People having stability issues with overclocking to 1152 *may* find it is a bit more stable (your mileage may vary)
Notes for Revision 4.0.1:
- Speed range should now allow underclocking to 128mhz (You may need to re-detect frequencies in setcpu)
- The Nova panel T2 register should be changeable again (for you Evo Switch/Novareq users)
Notes for Revision 4.0:
- Updated to the latest HTC released kernel sources (2.6.32)
- Camera should now be working properly
- HDMI output should be working in Froyo again
Notes for 3.7.8b-Froyoized
- Camera should no longer take dark snapshots when using the flash, the monster responsible has been severely beaten with a twig.
Notes for 3.7.8-Froyoized
- Camera app should no longer crash when changing from 5:3 widescreen to 4:3 standard ratio
- Camera app should properly allow 720p video recording and playback
- Japanese researchers have begun construction on a mecha-rabid naked bunny, codenamed: Bunnytron.
Notes for 3.7.7-Froyoized
- Re-integrate zipalign check and Dalvik cache tweak from the 2.1 line
- Some adjustments made to bluetooth-specific audio tweaks to combat distortion
- Audio adjustments to combat background noise overpowering the voice on the other end of a call
- Set version tag correctly (har har!)
- Super-mutant rabid naked bunny successfully created in lab conditions, however it disintegrates upon exposure to reality.
Notes for 3.7.6c-Froyoized
- SDcards with ext partitions added on should now cease confusing Froyo and allow the card to be mounted properly (Special thanks to Ninpo for directing me to the fix)
Notes for 3.7.6b-Froyoized
- Touchscreen adjustments, this may fix those who had touchscreen issues with 3.7.6
Notes for 3.7.6-Froyoized:
- Compatibility with the leaked 2.2 ota (and probably other 2.2-based roms)
- Working Camera (Limited to 3megapixels) EDIT: Reports indicate it claims 3mp but actually functions at 8mp
- Fps fix (of course ;D)
- Wireless Tether is reported as working with this as well
- 4g is confirmed as working
Notes for 3.7.5:
- Toned back audio boost tweaks a little to address distortion issues
- Updated gpu code for some 3d speed improvements
- Prevented the horde of mutant hairy toe-monsters from spreading toejam
all over the thread.
Notes for 3.7.4:
- Updated bluetooth code, courtesy of cyanogenmod
(You may have to re-pair your bluetooth devices)
- A new audio boost tweak has been applied
(This should not have the issues of the previous audio boost)
- Fixed an issue that would cause some Nova users to mysteriously
revert to 30fps. (Bad nova! no cookie!)
- Successfully avoided maiming any sabretooth'd tiger-striped cows
during the production of this update.
Notes for 3.7.3c:
- Some more tweaks to default performance (when not using setcpu/overclock widget)
Notes for 3.7.3b
- Killed that damn bug monster that decided yet again to sneak into one of my builds. Bad monster! No cookie.
Notes for 3.7.3:
- Adjusted the behavior of the speed scaling governor to give better performance out of the box for people that don't use setcpu or overclock widget
- Made adjustments to the general population build in the interests of making it compatible with Apps2SD by request.(Damage control users should have already been unaffected)
Notes for 3.7.2a
- Gave the monster holding wifi and 4g hostage a spanking (read: wifi/4g should be fixed)
Notes for 3.7.2
- Tweaked Nova settings in the interests of making sure everyone with a nova panel benefits from the fps fix
Notes for 3.7.1:
- Kernel should now have 100% more working HDMI output, no really, we mean it this time!
Notes for 3.7:
- HDMI output should now work in conjunction with boosted Nova/Epson fps
- tun.ko is now included by default for VPN users
Notes for 3.6.4:
- Behold, the return of 5point multitouch! This build should now automatically enable 5point multitouch for all phones that can support it. If the phone does not support 5point, it will default to 3point.
Notes for 3.6.3:
-Removed problematic audio boost patch that was giving issues with bluetooth
-Adjusted overclocking frequency tables to remove some problematic frequencies (Yes I know a small selection of you are going to be disappointed with the lowered cap, but I felt that the problems were more important at this time.)
-Evo switch ideally should not be required for decent framerates on Nova panels, but if users desire, by popular request, they can now use Evo Switch to tweak their T2 register [U]without[/U] it resetting after a screen cycle
-Default T2 value adjusted to 370, AssassinsLament believes this to present a good balance between out of the box performance and compatibility
-No fluffy pink bunnies were harmed in the making of this build
Can this be flashed with clockwork? Or just amon ra?
Is this a Froyo or Eclaire kernel? Any radio requirements?
Awesome, I have a Novatek. /facedesk.

I haven't noticed any loss of responsiveness on my end, if anything I'd swear it feels more responsive. Touch lag seems fairly significantly lessened.
I wonder if it could be related to the fact that I'm using a 1.47.651.1 based rom plus the latest radio/etc, curious.

@freack_v
Thank you for putting your time in this grate kernel. However I have problems with the fauxclock app. the apply on boot settings don't seem to stick I have tried the fix permissions in the app but has made no difference. I have workaround this by using kernel auditor instead.
I`ve tried this kernel on my D2303, but after flash it started lag. How can I fix this?
System version 18.3.1.C.1.15
SmoothMod Kernel (SMK) for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G (SM-T311), also may work on WiFi version (SM-T310), all stock and CM ROMs.
Development discontinued, read reason here.
This kernel is developed to give you more smoothness and stability than you can have on stock kernel and others.
Warning. Kernel may work on your device/ROM and may not. For me it works at all ROMs and for many people (on 4PDA.RU forum) it works too. Some people say (or said before kernel worked, this also can be) it doesn't work. So do a kernel backup please before you flash it first time. I've never had boot or usage problems with SMK, but it could be because i'm its developer (though it can not be the reason for that I'm always successfully boot it..). So it seems that our devices of the same model might be different. Be careful as I can not help you.
Features:
- Kernel version updated up to 3.2.26 and keeps updating
- Safe CPU overclock to 1.9 GHz with CPU-Boost kernel driver developed also by myself
- Custom (and only here) governor Smooth that is made to give both good battery saving and absolute smoothness. Uses GPU load and io_wait to additionally increase frequency at the right time.
- Kernel has a custom Android service smkd that controls all its features and provides many tweakable settings that you can change very simply: through terminal command "smkd" (instructions below) or "by hands" at folder "/smk" (like usual linux kernel settings at "/proc/sys/{kernel|vm|net}"). The program is written in C language, not as a script, for performance (shell-scripts are very slow when comparing with optimized C-programs).
- Tweak Menu that can be found if you type 'smkd' in your terminal.
- SmoothnessControl - one of smkd's functions that tries to guarantee UI smoothness to your tablet even if there are very CPU-hungry (but not I/O) apps/programs running like android.process.media and others. By default disabled. To enable, type this: 'su -c "scd --enable"' in terminal emulator. To disable, type 'scd --disable'.
- CPU Undervolt controlled through smkd.
- DynBS program (also developed by me) used by smkd to improve battery saving by 40% and more.
- Boeffla Sound Engine with custom settings, not working with Boeffla Sound Control app because smkd controls them (it's needed because smkd fixes engine's sound effects bug). Settings are stored folder "/smk" in files beginning with "boeffla.".
- Cron scheduler configured from file /sdcard/cron/root.
- All the custom tweakable settings described upper are reloading instantly after you change them or on delete (cron schedule file is also under the same watch).
- Kernel is compiled with optimized HYPER-TOOLCHAIN with gcc version 6.0 and maximally optimized compiler configuration.
Customizing kernel:
There is now nothing that needs to be explained, as customizing is pretty simple! Just type command 'smkd' (without quotes) and go through the menu (by entering appropriate symbols) as you want, changing parameters as you need.
Ask, if you have questions
If you have questions or suggestions about my kernel, feel free to write about that here and I will try to answer.
F.A.Q.:
Q.: Do I need to wipe Dalvik/ART cache before/after flashing this kernel?
A.: It is even not useful to wipe caches because they are used by Android only, not by kernel. So, it's not needed.
Q.: The kernel does not boot! What do I have to do to boot it?
A.: Write a message in this thread providing info about what ROM do you use, what Android version it is and what kernel build (kk/lp/mm) and version you are trying to boot. I will reply to that message and try to fix that problem.
Author: me, igoryan94
Download from Google Drive
Before flashing this kernel please do a backup yours first!
Warning! If you have a Jellybean/Kitkat rom, then download the smoothmod-kernel-kk-... build. If you use Lollipop (CM12), then your build to download will be ...-lp.... If it is a Marshmallow (CM13), then download mm build.
Other choice will cause your device to not be able to boot!
(Sorry for my (maybe )bad english)
Plans:
-
Developing now:
-
Changelogs (old*):
1.2.1/1.2.2:
- Returned possibility to load a profile from command line (command 'smkd --load [name]' or 'smkd ld [name]')
- Added custom setting for apps CPU time, now it has two groups: idle and high.
Idle group gives an app very small amount of CPU time, use for hungry apps that you don't need.
High group grants an app a 95% of all CPU time. Use to speed up some apps or games.
It is all very similar to Greenify and others, excepting that this is not battery saving solution, only to smooth up your Android, as Greenify disables an app and CGroup lowers app's CPU execution time available to it.
- I/O settings fully rebalanced for smoothness for system processes and apps processes
- Also added control group for I/O that does like one for CPU, but for I/O and developed its correct (for Android) behavior.
- Current configuration name in smkd menu now correctly saves and loads after reboot.
- Default LMK level changed to 125
XDA->SMK:
1.2:
- Got a smoother UI with better CGroup tweaking
- In case of some situations smkd will notify user with drawing a small square of some color at the left upper screen edge (portrait orientation). For overheat the color is red. When SmoothnessControl gets to work, color is light blue/cyan. If device's load is too high, the color will be blue.
"Notification" will blink when screen updates because the framebuffer devices are not support this method of screen drawing. But it works for now and I think that it is very useful to know the reasons of device's lags and freezes.
- Menu now immediately reacts to input, instead of pressing some characters and then Enter. Modified all menus that way so the interface is now much better.
- When exiting menu, parameters are automatically saved to default profile. No need to care about it anymore...
- Added Quick settings also to RAM and I/O
- Main menu: moved all "p)" menu elements to main menu level, it is quicker to access now
- Some more Quick settings options added
- Added Quick settings to my menu templates, so I will add this to most of the new menus in the future
- Main Quick settings colors changed to blue, additional are still white
- Overclock to 1920 MHz lowered to 1800 MHz because 1800 is much more stable (1920 causes reboots on Marshmallow on my tablet)
- Device now reboots when charging speed is too bad. By default this is disabled. Also added setting "Charge cycle time" and Quick settings for that so you can quickly set up to what charge speed you need (reboots are helpful but not very good for users that want to play device when it charges).
- 'Boost' feature disabled so now DynBS will work as always even when device is laggy
Previous:
1.1.22:
- CPU, Boeffla Sound and Network setting menus in smkd now have the Quick settings feature that helps to configure them by one click instead of tweaking them each
1.1.21.1:
- DynBS updated: now it uses frequencies from 350 to 700 MHz too, so more battery can be saved.
1.1.21:
- smkd now has menu interface which opens by default by command 'smkd' without options.
- All setting commands are removed. Use menu instead.
- In Cyanogenmod ROMs SystemUI is restarted every time when screen becomes disabled, so you may never see it lags or freezes again.
- PCS renamed to SC (SmoothnessControl).
- Overclock enables when device is laggy even when it is disabled in settings
- Redone temperature control: now smkd monitors a device temperature instead of CPU. It leads to better smoothness. Also overheat situations disable some functions like I/O readahead, ZRam, KSM.
- Overheat prevention function fully removed
- Governor Smooth now enables both cores on gestures with two or more fingers instead of simple tap.
1.1.20:
- Added charging compensation: now when battery charging is too slow, CPU Topology and voltage will be changed appropriately for quicker charge.
- Touch boost changed from 1400 to 1000 MHz, but it also boosts busfreq to 400 instead of 267 MHz. Results in better reaction on screen touch.
- Governor Smooth's default sampling_rate changed from 27000 to 16000 for quicker reaction
1.1.19:
- Added ARM CPU Topology for better multithread scheduling
- Some CPU Scheduler changes for smoothness or power saving (tweakable)
- Improved smkd UI code
1.1.18.1:
- Fixed performance/smoothness problems.
1.1.18:
- Added new default configuration "throughput"
- GPU acceleration is now forced for all apps and it is changeable from smkd.
- I/O scheduler SIOPlus added.
- DynBS is returned (one user asked for it as it really saves battery, as he said).
1.1.17:
- User profiles are no more exist, replaced with default configurations" instead. They are: smooth, battery, ram and cool. After each launch of smkd (mostly on reboot) configurations are removed and recreated to always be fresh and up to date.
- Added ability to create, rename and delete profiles by normal way, but default profiles cannot be replaced, deleted or renamed through smkd (only "by hands").
- GPU settings: composition and forced GPU-acceleration from Android settings for developers.
- Tripndroid and Zen I/O schedulers are added.
1.1.16.1:
- Configurations loading is now be always successful (but only if appropriate file exists), without that annoying errors "try again later, please..."
- Small tweaks optimization
1.1.16:
- Overclock now disabled by default, as it was on 1.1.14 and before, for battery saving (overclock eats too much battery). Can be enabled with command 'smkd -c -o 1'. Temperature control is now optimized for both CPU overclock and hardware maximal frequency modes.
- smkd interface improved a little.
- KSM functionality added with some fixes for Mali GPU driver bugs in userspace.
- Default temperature limit is now 64 C (before it was 67 C). This is done for more stability when the weather is hot.
- Some changes for smoothness and stability...
1.1.15:
- Overclock is enabled now for any time when screen is enabled (no more boost).
- Developed overheat preventing functions that cool device when temperature is between 90% of threshold and higher. CPU frequency will be set according to temperature for the moment (for every 2% will be a different frequency). Function can be disabled but it is not recommended.
- All cooling functions now control voltage too to be more effective.
- Governor Smooth tweaked for more balance (oc_nr_run_threshold->6)
- Governor Smooth: changed logic: half-overclock (to 1.7 GHz) will occur if number of processes running is a half of oc_nr_run_threshold tunable.
- smkd now controls I/O scheduler and I/O readahead settings, they are tweakable with smkd command. Profiles change this parameters too.
1.1.14:
- smkd tweaker program fully translated to english and comes now in two languages. Now it uses Android's property 'persist.sys.language'.
If your device configured for any language excepting russian, then program will be in english for you. At the other case it will print out text and messages in russian.
- Improved custom configurations in smkd. Now it loads profiles synchronous with service (by using mutex) instead of relaunching it with shell stop/start (it was too slow and even buggy to do that).
- DynBS will not be in kernel anymore, it is not so effective as needed. Instead, I've added a profile tweaks for my governor Smooth, that tweaks easily changeable from smkd (cmd. "smkd -c -s [0-2]").
1.1.13:
- Cron scheduler now works correctly (i'm happy ), doing exactly what was scheduled by the user at the exact times.
- I don't remember what was in this version because forgot this as I worked on 1.1.14 intensively.

Looks like it will not work on AICP ROM, on Cyanogenmod 13 and ResurrectionRemix kernel works fine (I've tested that)... Sorry The reason for that I can not fix this problem is that I do not know (even cannot know) how to make an init.rc (this file starts all Android services on boot) file universal (to support absolutely all ROMs at one time). This is also the reason for three builds of kernel: kk, lp and mm...
Nice kernel. But can you please make a version of your kernel work with the T310 (WiFi)?

I can't as i don't know much about modding in '/init.rc' script and also about what differences it has in kernels for T310, T311 and T315... Sorry.
There are too much incompatibilities with builds that are now (they must work everywhere but they don't)...
Ok. Added one question to poll. There are three variants for ROM and two for working or not (six at all), for me all works fine, so I voted for the first three answers.
Version 1.1.14 developer testing ends now, smkd fully translated to english. I will now build the kernel and then begin uploading it to Google Drive.
(sorry for my incorrect english)

Hey @igoryan94,
Thanks a lot for making this great kernel!
I've flashed the KK version along with the stock ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789510. It works very nicely. Would you please show an instruction (or a specific terminal command for newbies like me) of how to overclock CPU to 1.9GHz? Currently the max speed is 1.5Ghz according to kernel audit.
Thanks again
Hey I cant change the cpu frequent through kernel adiutor. As soon as i change the freq to 1920 it changes back to 1500.

CPU frequency is automatically changed to 1920 MHz when special conditions are met (they are: "blocked" processes and waiting for I/O).. Version 1.1.5 will have full 1920 MHz CPU frequency.
I will now upload "developer" version of kernel 1.1.15_dev for KitKat users. If you want, test that) It is not fully contains all changes that i've done, but I'm not at home now and cannot compile new build... For now it has smooth overheat prevention and overclock fully enabled.

Please wait for SMK version 1.1.15, it will use 1920 MHz as a default frequency always excepting overheat moments (that will disapear very quickly) and governor's battery saver mode.
You can also use a developer version 1.1.15_dev if you use JellyBean/KitKat as your ROM.
Ok, "dev" version released for testing.
When I will return home, I will release another testing version that has an I/O scheduler change functionality, optional Overheat Prevention and changing min_freq to minimal (50 MHz) when temperature event occurs. Maybe it will have even more features (I have smkd code with me, PC is only needed for compiling kernel and ramdisk).
on NoleKat.T310. v1.1 KK 4.4.2 not boot. on CM13 it's ok, but, for me, the best android versioni for this tablet is kk stock and i install NoleKat.T310. v1.1.

High performance & power saving tweaks for all devices (THAT ACTUALLY WORK)
Introduction
LKT is a cumilation of different strategies that target certain kernel settings. What makes this special and stand out from the crowd is being universal and device specific at the same time. And it's also BS free. Using simple functions LKT detects the hardware of your device then it applies the corresponding changes. It does support all mainstream platforms including Snapdragon, Kirin, MediaTek etc. covering hundreds of devices.
These tweaks have been tested and can stand up to 12-14H of SOT with no-compromise on performance all smooth as a baby's bottom.
However, it should be noted that this does not apply to gaming, facebook, snapchat, instagram and heavy camera usage ...etc
Nothing can be done for anything that is an automatic battery killer and forces maximum resources usage at all the time.
How does it work?
LKT aims to achieve a balance between power consumption and performance. Compared to tuning the parameters manually, LKT adopts Project WIPE open source interactive parameters for all mainstream SOCs that are generated via machine learning AI and can adapt to multiple styles of workload sequences. This idea is similar to EAS, which takes into account both performance and power consumption costs through power consumption models and workload sequence. But obviously, EAS has a much lower response time and replaces tuning with decision logic. In addition, it also includes other parameter tuning, such as HMP scheduler parameters, virtual Memory, GPU, IO blocks tuning, and doze rules to unify the rest of the kernel parameters for a more consistent experience.
LKT also supports schedutil and other EAS governors in devices like the Pixel 2. Unlike interactive, schedutil does not provide a wide range of tuning parameters but there are some workarounds. In Snapdragon 835 for example depending on what profile is selected, LKT limits the maximum frequency of big cores accordingly because big clusters power efficiency of SD835 dramatically decreases above 2 GHz, as a trade of losing 15% performance, improving power consumption by 40% or more is a much better deal.
Features
Multi-Profile
Improved smoothness & battery life
Advanced interactive governor tuning (Project WIPE)
EAS devices Support
RAM management enhancements
IO blocks enhancements
Enabled & configured wakelock blocking
Disabled a excessive logging at kernel level (Improves battery life as well as performance)

Profiles
Battery - Can acheive ~2 hours or more longer on-screen battery life, may lag in some scenarios where the load fluctuates dramatically.
Balanced - Can acheive ~1.5 hours or more longer on-screen battery life with little performance compromise .(Recommended)
Performance - Can acheive ~1 hour longer on-screen battery life , same as balanced profile with more responsiveness. .
Turbo - Ideal for intense high demanding tasks, where the load drastically fluctuate (not necessarily in games) . Will ensure reducing lags by ~90% for no more than ~20% increase power in consumption.

FAQ(frequently asked question)
Also check for FAQ here (More often updated)
• How do I apply these tweaks?
Simply flash LKT zip in recovery or Magisk app then reboot.
• Do I have to be rooted?
Yes, LKT needs either Magisk or SuperSU or init.d support.
Beware that LKT is a collection of advanced tweaks that act on kernel level. If you don't know how it works, then please try this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for any damage or loss. Never forget to make backups.
• What are the available profiles ?
Battery: Can acheive ~2 hours or more longer on-screen battery life, may lag in some scenarios where the load fluctuates dramatically
Balanced: Can acheive ~1.5 hours or more longer on-screen battery life with little performance compromise (recommended)
Performance: Can acheive ~1 hour longer on-screen battery life , same as balanced profile with more responsiveness
Turbo: Ideal for intense high demanding tasks, butter smooth gaming for a long periods. Will ensure reducing lags by ~90% for up to ~20% more power consuption than stock.

• How to switch between profiles?
Method 1
To access the command controls screen using terminal type
Code:
su
lkt
Then follow the instructions
Method 2
Now you can also you run these commands to directly switch profiles (must run with root permissions)
Code:
lkt 1 (for battery profile)
lkt 2 (for balanced profile)
lkt 3 (for performance profile)
lkt 4 (for turbo profile)
Method 3
You can also to re-flash the module twice to change the profile but you will have to reboot using this way.
• Can I use LKT with another MOD ?
** Compatibility list** You can still these mods since they do not affect LKT parameters.
Universal XML Patcher
GMS Doze
ForceDoze, Naptime, Greenify, Amplify, Power Nap
MCS (Magic charging switch) & Charging control mods..etc
BlackenedMod (Pixel 2)
** Incompatibility list ** Do not use similar mods with LKT, here is a list of some known MODs that will interfere
AKT (Advanced Kernel Tweaks)
Spectrum
Helix Engine
L-Speed
GovTuner
Every bullsh*t placebo MOD like : CrossBreeder, NFS, KITANA, FeraDroid ..etc
Heavily tweaked ROM such as : xXx (OP6/6T)
• Will this work on my ROM & Kernel ?
It should work on almost every Stock, AOSP or Lineage based ROM & Kernel
The only problem is with heavily tweaked ROMs, they can interfere with LKT.
• Will this work on my device?
This mod support a large list of devices you can check the compatibility list.
• How to make sure that LKT is working ?
Using a file explorer with root access check LKT logs in the location below ( share & upload yours in case of having troubles)
Code:
/data/LKT.prop
•I cannot find or open LKT logs
To properly open LKT.prop you need a file manager with root access your app may not be working correctly. Here's some apps I can recommend
MiXplorer
FX File Explorer + ROOT addon
You can also access your alogs using terminal by running this code
First type su then copy and past this line :
Code:
cat /data/LKT.prop
• My logs are incomplete
Make sure you are using the latest version of Magisk 18.0+
Install busybox by @osm0sis
• My device Lags or not longer smooth What do I do?
This can happen and it's a normal thing. As I have stated before, all these tweaks have been done for fit certain usage which might not be the same as yours. Because this, your device may lag in some scenarios under heavy loads (If you are experimenting huge lags, you have done something wrong). And yes, this can be fixed. We have a couple of ways of fixing it. First of all if you are using battery profile try switching to another one, if this doesn't help you consider the following steps :
Do a factory reset
Get rid of unnecessary background apps
Try a different ROM or Kernel
Try another profile
• These settings don't work & I'm not getting great screen on time
Keep in mind these tweaks have been tested on certain scenario that might not the same as yours, read the introduction in OP to understand more about this. However if you are getting worse results than before you are probably doing something wrong and here are some recommendations for you
Do a factory reset
Get rid of unnecessary background apps
Try a different ROM or Kernel
Try another profile
• How to update LKT?
Dirty flash the new zip or install the update via Magisk manager and it will automatically upgrade.
• How to uninstall LKT?
Flashing the module for the second time will remove LKT. You can also remove it from Magisk app.

It's better to not use any other mods with this so they won't conflict, if your device is supported you won't need anything else
This module does have a UI, to access it via terminal type su then lkt and follow the instructions. Please refer to the help section next time before asking anything.

Hello,
My device is Samsung Note 4 - SM-N910F.
I'm not on Samsung but on AOSP (6.0.1 - because of some outdated xposed mods) as I prefer stock, bloatware-less, android ROM.
The thing is, battery life has always been worse than original Samsung ROM, mainly because of doze not being strict enough, and lack of wakelocks optimisation.
Naptime, Greenify and Amplify helped me reducing those issues, along with Kernel Adiutor underclock increasing battery life. And Icebox for freezing battery using when screen is turned off.
Now comes your work, I flashed your zip. I was a bit skeptical of what it could make to my OS to magically improve battery life... But I have to be honest, it improved blocking those ridiculous wakelocks when my phone is idle.
See by yourself : 0.2% of battery during 6h sleep (airplane mode on, because radio waves). When it is usually 0.8% to 1%. Ofc when phone is used like using camera, it won't do magic over battery, but those unnecessary wakelocks event seems to be fixed.
So, yes. Thank you, thank you very much.
I got a weird bug on the poco f1 using lkt (mostly balanced profile) when I charge my battery indicator get stuck to 75%. However it still charge since it rest a bunch of time stuck to 75%

Hello. I installed the zip without problems and restarted my phone. Nowhere, however, do I see something of cloudy. Neither at Mtweaks or in the info settings themselves. How do I know that it works now? And how can I change the profiles?

Yes it does stay active by saving the selected profile even after reboot.
Would you consider LeeDroid a heavily tweaked ROM, and one that would interfere with LKT? I removed all L-Speed settings, and I'm getting incredible performance yet slightly less SOT. I'm willing to make the sacrifice, unless you would advise against using this MOD with LeeDroid. Thanks in advance for any response, and awesome work!
How does this mod compare to the NFS-Injector module? Can they be used safely together
Hi, how do I change profile.. I am on balanced need to go to performance
I tried reinstalling but while reinstalling it automatically detected device in balanced and didn't ask me to change

This kernel is a combination of SmartPack/Boeffla-Venom Samsung Galaxy S5 Lineage OS kernel, with some tweaks and additions from around the net. I have decided that since SmartPack was EOL and with sunilpaulmathews ok, I would just combine our two kernels (since fbs has Boeffla-Kernels covered) to make it easier for me to maintain his work and my own.

One More For Good Measure
YES.!!!!
sdfat code have syntax errors, aren't even compiling here.. humm
ok, fixed it and stealed it
Thanks for ur good kernel. Flashed on haggertk android pie no problem so far. At first I was getting random reboots,it caused by my magisk modules. I disable them and the problem fix. Thanks again.
LKT magisk module on this kernel cause random reboots.
Thanks for your work
So I popped over to this thread you linked to from the Venom thread and want to make sure I'm clear. This kernel (Ares-Kernel) should not be used on a Resurrection Nougat based ROM? I think that Resurrection Nougat ROM is a Lineage 14 based ROM, correct? Or even though it is Lineage 14 based, can the Areas-Kernel still be used because it is based off Lineage.
Thanks for any clarification. Left this post in other thread to just to make sure I got it in right spot. Disregard which ever one is posted in wrong spot. Thanks.
awesome dude!!! thank you so much! i'm really glad that someone continues the smart-pack kernel!
:laugh: big, Big, BIG Thank you @The~Skater~187! Really appreciate your effort and dedication in helping to keep this old phone alive and competitive! :highfive:
Hey, good work mate!
Thanks for it, we were orphan but you came and adopted us, LOL, kidding.
Just some thoughts on it.
I've found that, on thermal tab, vd restriction cant be disabled while core control is enabled. That used to happen on smartpack kernel but sunil get rid of it, maybe he can help. They are not made to be active together and can make the phone super slow and prone to crashes when it gets hot and they both kick in.
I also couldn't help to notice it's using my efficiency profile as defaults (on signature), and it's awesome, they work great don't they? Haha. I assume you grabbed it with the smartpack source code, since sunil's kernel used my profile as defaults.
There are some things that are outdated thought, specially page-cluster should be back to 0 on virtual memory as it is also prone to failures (apps don't working properly, like, a black screen without responses, based on my experiences) and crashes, min_sample_time is 0 and should be 40000 (one of the interactive governor tunables), which is an overlook by myself on an early release of my profile but fixed on the latest one already. I would recommend this small changes on the defaults, as well as the tunable io_is_busy 0 to let multicore power saving disabled.
I'm glad that you're also using it but I would also like to ask proper credits for it, I know, is not code, but demanded me months of studying and testing to get it almost where I wanted! There's a little history on the thread on my signature.

I do apologize about the credit issue, I thought I had put your name in the acknowledgment section right before ktoonsz last night, as I noticed your name on a few of the files in the RamDisk. I will definitely straighten that out and thank you for pointing that out. You are correct, I so far have just synced SmartPack source, then started applying things from my other kernel for now. I wanted to get something up-to-date and stable out for you guys before I started diving deeper into other kernel related things.
As for the rest of your suggestions, I will look into them for sure. Feel free to p.m. me with any thoughts or other suggestions.

Many thanks!
On other news, I was getting some random reboots, and found out that it was because of my undervolt settings. It's super weird, because they never gave me any problems since 3~4 months with the smartpack kernel, and it should be a setting particular to my specific device/cpu, and have the same limits across any kernel. I used the same across lots of roms, and different versions of smartpack, for nougat, oreo and pie, so, I hope you can see why I find this very weird.
But, I don't know if it's actually a 'bug', I will find some time to fine tune it, raise some voltages to see where I can go with Ares kernel without crashing. For now I'm using the default voltages.

I did do a bit of an overhaul on the voltage table when I added the higher oc steps, due to the fact that on my other kernel lower voltages stock we're causing problems and random freezes.
Sent from my kltespr using Tapatalk
Yeah, I'm sure you know, undervolting need to be done step by step, making sure the lowest you can go, device specific, so risking repeating myself, same voltages should probably 99,99% of the time works across any kernel/rom on a given device. I don't think it is the undervolt anymore.
It took a while but I still had some reboots with default voltage, once I was finally able to press up and home right after it, so it rebooted directly to TWRP and I copied the last_kmsg, it's attached, all configs were on default. I hope it helps to find out what it may be.
I'm back on smartpack for now, cause the same setup and profile runs without no problems, so I think it should not be a problem just on my end, is it? Anybody else?
Fun fact, I was are able to dirty install smartpack kernel over ares and vice-versa and it detected and updated itself without any problems.

@The~Skater~187 edit: oh, I just noticed, there's no option to input 268 MHz voltage. My voltages are getting placed on the wrong frequency because of that, found the problem!
I recovered the backup I just made before installing the kernel, I had installed the shushified bootleggers 3.0 on top of the unshushified 3.0, they are the same rom except for official (shushified) status, but anyway, that may be the cause of some of my problems, adding up to the 268 missing voltage that was overlooked by me.
After that I installed Ares kernel again with no undervolt and gone to sleep. Woke up today, and no reboots, then I was trying to test undervolting it and found out about the missing 268 voltage, so every previous voltage I used was getting used on 1 clock step above, so, not enough power for sure.
Just put my exactly same volts on their correspondent freq and no reboots until now!
It also seems that Core Control is staying enabled and VD Restrictions is disabled correctly now too. So, if you experience the same you may disregard it as well.
Thanks for this!!
Great so far, this with Pie ROMs is the best battery life I've had since stock.
4-5 hours sot, 7h active, 12h idle..(gsam stats) on this original 2800mah. I've gone from 4-5 charges a day to 1-2.
And kernel brightness control keeps the flickers away.
Edit: did notice both vdd and core thermals being active, didn't cause any overheating/reboots (i often run cpu info as overlay) but I stuck with core control only to be safe. It doesn't stick after reboot.

Yeah, after some further analysis, I came to find out exactly the same.
After a reboot both VDD and CC come back up, and I have to do a little dance, like, disable vdd and cc, enable intellithermal, then enable only cc, or something like that, then it will stick with only cc until the next reboot.
Ok, so I decided I'm going keep an "unofficial" SmartPack kernel going (nothing more than source updates will be applied) as well as my off shoot kernel project. I will have it available for you guys tomorrow evening.
