[ROOTMOD] Kernel Adjustments v1 [STICKYME]

I've taken the liberty to root my GS4 and have some time spent on tweaking kernel parameters.
For these settings you need to be rooted and have downloaded a kernel tweaking app, such as Trickster Mod.
I believe these settings should make some pretty significant changes to your experience.
Follow the screenshots for the configurations:

Any heat issues?

Since the changes have you noticed any significant heat or rapid battery drain?

Still testing. I am charging the device now and I'll report later but i'm guessing hardly anything noticeable.

Thanks for the post!
I am however curious about the use of ZRAM as this phone should easily have enough built in RAM to where that is not needed..
ZRAM generally gets used when a system is RAM deficient.. ZRAM will also be noticeably slower than using the built in RAM as well...
Looking forward to you reporting back..

I think you may be confused about ZRAM.
ZRAM is used for swapspace instead of placing the swap on the "disk" it is placed in RAM for a performance boost.

I don't think I am confused... Why use swap space for RAM when this phone already has plenty?
Then again, I may be confused..

Going to give this a shot for a little while.

I believe you have to set the CPU governor to interactive, apply by pressing the check at the top right, then going into governor control at the bottom.

This mod has reduced stutter and sputter by like 90% on my device. Will keep pushing it.

Thanks. Really seems to help alot on mine. I did leave the min cpu at default speed though.:thumbup:

Only downside is that after reboot you have to change the settings again.

Indeed. Just hit the menu capacitive button to get to the menu pictured below:

Your menu looks so different in terms of the interactive controls... I have none of those values or menus but an even longer list.
Why does your say you have power savings enabled? Why not turn power savings completely off? I still run my galaxy for like 2 days with Music playing like an 8 hour day.

Been running this since last night..
I am not really noticing any difference but will keep testing..

I already had 101 apps / processes frozen, animations set to zero, force GPU enabled and am using a different launcher. I think most, if not all, of my lag was done away with by doing that..

On the general settings, after you've selected interactive you have to hit the check mark on upper right. Then click governor control at the bottom, you should see the interactive settings.
Cant wait to find out what settings gives best battery life and performance.

Yeah. Gotta keep hitting that check mark or nothing takes.

Franco Kernel vs Stock?

I am debating on whether to buy the pro version and flash Franco's Kernel for my Nexus 5 and 7 (2013). I just want to know what I bits of extra I can really do with it.. And if its worth it. I'm more worried about stability than anything I guess. I don't want to run into little issues whether it be audio, video, whatever it may be. Also I have never flashed a kernel or another ROM, I've always stuck with stock. I am running 4.4.2 right now utilizing Gravity Box and Wanam Kit, and a few other modules. Any input would be greatly appreciated. If this thread has been done before, my apologies. I am a brand new forum user, never really get on the computer.

Well to be honest the stock kernel allready is very good, the only downsides of it are batterylife/screenontime and colors are not very vibrant. These 2 aspects are substantialy better with Franco kernel. Screenontime and batterylife is improved by at least 50% or more for some (check out the Franco thread). Also you can raise the speaker/mic/in-call volume as you wish and load a color profile for better and more vibrant colors.

if you want stability stick with stock

I have been getting fantastic battery life with my setup now, I just leave brightness at auto, and from my bit of research, that seems to be the big culprit of battery life. I'm always looking to improve my phone in terms of performance and cosmetic, keeps me busy at negative 60 out here in North Dakota lol.
But 50% overall more battery life?! That's pretty friggin good. Would definitely pay for it for that kind of power.
I'm also assuming based on your post that the color control is not for LED control but the screen itself. Any idea if the Xposed LED module works well? I know its off topic just a quick question.
Not sure about the volumes, I usually don't mess with call volumes, but I'll look into it more.

If you are having trouble making a decision... just flash the kernel with fastboot and give it a test run. Can the free version of FKU auto flash? I'm not sure, you would have to investigate.
If you decide you like it (and the updates that go along with it), then maybe consider buying the app.
But yes, screen on time is better with FK due to the way the clock speeds scale. A lot better. Even with the stock settings, though I find even those to be a bit aggressive.

Most users report a screenontime of about 5-7 hours while stock is about 3,5 hours. Don`t know about the Xposed module but color controll in the Franco kernel updater app is realy good and there are various preloaded settings available. Link thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508284. Backup your current kernel in the FKU before you flash a Franco kernel, so you can restore it if need be.

So do you underclock or undervolt? I don't know the differences between the two, my apologies. If I do get Franco I think I will just leave it at the stock settings it comes with before I make any changes, still got learning to do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You can only raise the volume levels (no EQ settings), this should not interfere with PowerAmp.

[Q] Stock + GB or ROM?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your help so far! Love this forum.
I'm pretty noob when it comes to Android customization, so I wanted your opinion: I'm trying to decide whether to run a stable, fast ROM, or simply stock with GravityBox and Franco Kernel.
Here are my considerations:
I'm not an advanced user, but I do use my phone a lot for work and personal things like email, browser, gps, videos, etc. Since I rely on it a lot, stability is pretty key. However, I get really bothered by some UI restrictions on stock (in particular non-customizable Quick Settings, non-customizable status/nav bars, and no PIE, but other small things count too). GravityBox is sufficient for the customization I need, but at this point speed and battery life come into consideration also. I wouldn't mind a longer battery since I use the phone pretty heavily. Speed is a consideration in that it would help me get things done faster.
So I guess my dilemma is whether I should use stock while relying on GB for customization and Franco kernel for battery efficiency, or if I should run a stable, fast ROM like SlimKat for the same purposes?

Xposed will slow things down so IMHO if a ROM has all your needs, use that.
That said I use a ROM and xposed

Yep, SlimKat, If stock Slim is missing a feature, about 50 people in that thread build their own Slim with some mods. One guy builds a version that has a DL/UL speed indication, L-style navbar buttons, and a bunch of other things.
Kernel, use Code_Blue. I prefer it over Franco. Just don't use the stock Slim kernel.

Roms have near nothing to do with battery life. It's setup and usage that make or break battery life.
Don't factor battery life into Rom decisions.... They're all the same. ?

The only way a ROM can really affect battery is if a feature is designed poorly or there's a derp in the build..
But yeah, you can't really improve "ROM battery life", you can only make sure there aren't any problems which affect it negatively.

Really? I have the stock ROM and xposed with six different modules and I haven't noticed a substantial performance difference. Perhaps it's one of the modules you have installed or maybe xposed doesn't play as well with your ROM as it does with stock?

I've used every Rom and kernel almost and after setting each up how I regularly do, and with similar usage patterns always....my battery times were always similar.

Yes I've seen lots of "claims"....And guess what, many believe them. ?

Underclocking for better battery life?

Will lowering the voltages improve battery life? If so, how can I go about doing it? I don't really need so much power since I rarely game and all I do is stream media and normal web-browsing.

fist steps are to root and install a custom kernel, if available..the use a kernel modifying program and make your changes that way..

I think you can't since kernel is closed source for our device, might be able with custom ROM. The thing is you don't really want to. Processor has 4 small cores for simple tasks and power saving, it only uses big cores on heavy use. The manufacturer has alredy given you the best option and if the phone is working fine why mess with it? For extra 30 min battery life? It's just not worth it. If you wanna try custom roms buy some older device or Nexus and try it out. Huawei just works from the box.

Without a custom kernel it's impossible. We should get sources soon so just wait
But yeah. Underclocking should improve battery life..
Edit: Sources are up!

Best Rom\Kernel Combo for SOT and Performance?! POST PICS!

Hey guys … we've had quite a bit of development in a very short amount of time since release. There are some very talented developers out there and a dedicated number of people making our already great phone even better.
So, I was curious to see at this point what Rom\Kernel Combo everybody is running to get the most out of the battery while maintaining performance!
Sound off on which rom\kernel combo you're using and post battery life screenshots if you have them!
Thank you to the developers that make this happen, we couldn't have gotten here without you!

SOT varies and depends on your usage.

Xxx+cleanslate

If you want a balanced kernel with a really good battery life, you should go with franco kernel. I achieved very good stand by and screen on time, even on the currently battrry-buggy OxygenOS 5.1.8. And if you want a light customizable ROM with quiet a few goodies, go with Renovate 3.2.

Is that stock options with Franco?

If I pick up my phone and use it all day in bed when I'm under the weather or when I'm home for the day with nothing to do I can get 7 hours of screen on time with constant usage at half brightness. When I am at work and have the phone with me and do a little gps etc I can get about 6 hours. It all depends on your usage and also your cell signal. The worse your signal is the faster it drains the battery. The more GPS you use the faster your battery dies. It doesn't matter which kernel I am running, (I'm currently on stock 5.1.8 with Magisk, Xposed & ElementalX) battery life is pretty much the same.

if you won't stop to believe that rom and kernel are responsible for SOT and standby drain you will never be able to 99.9 control and manage your battery usage.
it's all in user space as long as there is no know battery hog (know bug) in either rom or kernel.
