For the people that want overclocking, here is your chance. I took my standard voodoo kernel, and put in the stuff needed to overclock it. Thanks to nemesis2all and his OTB kernel from the Fascinate for the code needed to get this to work. Also, use extreme caution when using the higher clock speeds. The stock "max" voltage for the CPU is 1300mv, and 1500MHz and 1600MHz are both at 1500mv, so it's heavily over-volted at the top end. By default, the system will boot to 1000MHz and you need to set the speeds you want in Voltage Control App. I don't personally use this because I think overclocking is useless, so any bug reports need as much information as possible, or they will be dismissed and not looked into at all. If you run into an issue with the system locking up, odds are that you have undervolted to much for a given clock speed. Other than that, you're on your own. Same FAQ applies as the regular PBJ kernel, so look there until I get a chance to post it here as well.
Installation Instructions:
1. Download zip
2. Transfer to SDCard
3. Reboot into recovery, you'll need to have CWM if you don't already
4. Install zip from SDCard and select the zip you downloaded.
5. Reboot and enjoy

NOTES:
If you are experiencing problems, I need detailed info to be able to fix it or help you out. Failure to provide detailed info will mean I'm just going to ignore your problem as user error. Details would be something such as which kernel you are flashing (filename) and steps to reproduce the issue. Also, if you used any other kernels that had the same problem or didn't have the problem.
DISCLAIMER
By downloading and using the kernels, this signifies that you have read this full post and the FAQ before reporting an issue. You also take all responsibility if your phone breaks or your warranty becomes void (which, if you're flashing this, it already is). I offer no guarantees as to anything working, though I try not to release broken stuff, it happens sometimes.

Undervolted and running ok so far.

Could you cuties advise on what sort of settings you're using for this?
I'm using the 'vr' setting with an Interactive governor at 1.1GHz and my phone is slowing to a crawl so it's hardly usable. I'm not looking for any crazy overclocking just something to keep my phone snappy whilst I keep in touch with my prostitutes and be sure they are working the proper street corners.
The weird thing is I'm not sure if Voodoo Lagfix is enabled. Voodoo control says yes, CWM says no and won't let me enable it that way, is there a way to be sure?
Spanks!

Go into a Terminal Emulator on the device and type Mount. 3rd or 4th row on the list should show ext4. If it does then lagfix is enabled. If you do not see Ext4 and it says rfs still then it is not enabled.

Well it's definitely enabled. I just must have set the CPU settings poorly because this thing is crawling right now, I can't even scroll through the app drawer!
I've been trying to CWM back to the other PBJ kernels however my phone hangs on reboot, I'm guessing because those need to be flashed with Odin.

Just curious as to why you think it's useless. I am sure you know some thing that I don't so your opinion matters to me. I love the fact that I can overclock, but if it's not needed then I might not bother. I know it did make a difference for my DX.

Use a program like CPUSpy that shows you the clock speed stats of your phone. >75% of the time, it will likely be in 400MHz or less, this probably approaches >90% if you say 800MHz or less, especially if you are not a heavy user. At that point, why overclock your phone? To get the overclocking stable, you need increase voltages across the board, and despite undervolting, you'll never get the same power usage as you can with a non-overclocked kernel as some of the voltage changes you can't revert. My opinion is that while overclocking can smooth some stuff out, for most day-to-day usage, it has no practical benefits and only causes more battery drain than you would otherwise have. Given how precious battery life is these days, why knowing make your battery drain faster?
it's funny you say that becuase i noticed with ludeboy's kernel that when overclocking system panel very rarely showed my phone running over the stock speed. Usually it was as you stated some where around 800mhz..I understand what your saying...Thanks for the quick response.
So what if we run stock clock...but undervolt? Do you think we will see any batt savings?
Backup SD and app data b/c crashing/freezing can corrupt files.
Edit: Also keep Voltage Scheduler Remover on your phone just in case.

Potentially, yes, but you may lose stability.
Awesomeness
I love it. I can deal with a slightly shortened battery life. I wanted to OC because a lot of the more intense games don't run as smooth as I would like. With OC, its all butter. Thanks!! I have mine set at 1400, and it really didn't improve my quadrant scores, but there's a noticeable decrease in lag going from one app to another.

You would see better battery life at stock clock speeds if you just used the standard (ie. not overclocked) kernel I built.
Just wondering if you're going to branch off development of PBJT w/o overclocking separately - or if this is going to be built/rolled into future releases?
I'm on board with not thinking it's necessary - though I can see how the tinkerers and speed demons would love it. (And all the more power to them, literally)
I don't know imnuts, I always noticed when I forced the phone into a higher overclock it always seemed quite a bit snapier.
Keep it on conservative. Interactive is buggy.

This will remain separate from the standard kernel most likely. I will see if I can build off of this source without overclocking and have it work, though I don't know if it will. I want to keep them separate for stability and battery life reasons.
Whenever I use the built-in Processor manager in CM9 (our CM9) and whenever I change the maximum MHz or the governor everything is fine. However when I'm using some apps such as browser it will soft boot in some times, not rarely but occasionally.
Is this normal? If it is then is SetCPU for Root Users worth buying to use for our phone (it looks very neat and has profiles too!)? If it is not then how will I manage my problem?
Would you point me to the "Processor manager" you are talking about? I didn't know CM9 had one!
Which build of CM9? Have you installed any other kernels or tweaks?
It is not normal in my experience with Team Acid / Hefe Kernel to have unexpected reboots.
What are you trying to manage with the app and when? That may impact the choice.
I use System Tuner (Pro) and find it does what I need. Then again, I don't change settings once I've got a kernel dialed in.

In "Settings" under "Performance", then go to "Processor". Once there you will see some settings pertaining to the processor.

It did for GB. Haven't tried it on ICS. Jeff mentioned System Tuner above and I couldn't agree with him more. It's the only app I use for setting OC/UV as well as I/O schedulers. Try the free version first. It does everything though. SO if you like it kick down for the paid version.
I have used setCPU since I bought it way back when. It works. Jeff's the man though I might have to switch just because lol.

Cedric's the man -- the author of System Tuner Pro. His support has been beyond expectations. I'm very picky about what I pay cash for. His pride in his products and quick, intelligent responses has more than earned the relatively small price that he asks for his "Pro" versions. Past that, he doesn't overly "cripple" his ad-supported versions.
I've never tried SetCPU, but I know many people have had great success with it.
Many of the "tweaks" are governor-specific. Most "reasonable" programs work through the exposed "sysfs" entries that allow one to read/set parameters of the kernel. In this case, the governor, governor parameters, and the voltage table.
I actually experience the same problem with the soft reboots after switching to CM9
So the answer is yes, set cpu will work for our ice cream sandwich phone?
Cause I will buy it now.
Seems to be working fine... For now, when I first tried to set clock settings at:
Min: 200 MHz
Max: 1200 MHz
Governor: SmartAssV2
I/O Scheduler: Deadline (Jeff what scheduler do you suggest? Or is Deadline fine?)
After these settings were put in effect, I went back to the home screen, the screen froze with a weird effect. I had to do a battery pull, rebooted phone and tried to reapply settings again. It worked and I'm going to report back if weird stuff happens.

I've stayed out of the scheduler fray as much as I can. From what I have read, there is a very significant difference between them when you have spinning disks. I've also read that the ones that work well for spinning disks aren't so good for flash media. I've heard that there is a new one in the works for mainline Linux (FIOPS), but it is far from production quality. Not clear how any of them interact with Samsung's umm, well, "unique" approach to managing flash -- we're neither an SSD nor a raw card for internal memory. I switch between deadline and noop with the phase of the moon, and haven't personally noticed an astounding difference between them. I couldn't tell you what I have set right now.
TrollSlayer version 3 Kernel​
Ok folks, got a kernel for our A701 stock JB 4.1.1 and Evil Alex Purgatory
This is NOT for CM/AOKP/PA/ etc builds.
Keep in mind, I am not a kernel developer, and this is my first attempt. So it's pretty basic right now. I've been running it for a couple weeks, and it seems to be pretty stable.
First of all Credits and Thanks @civato - For being a wealth of info and a good Mate @sgt. meow - Govs & Schedulers and all his help @scrosler - For Help in compiling @faux123 - Dynamic Fsync & UV @verboth - Original Speedo Fake
The Kernel
Based on Acer JB 4.1.1 source
Compiled with Google toolchain
Features
CPU OC to 1500Mhz (on by default)
GPU OC to 520Mhz (on by default)
CPU UV tables
Dynamic fsync control (on by default)
Governors
lulzactive
lagfree
smartass2
pegasusq
Schedulers
row
sio
Gaming fix by faux123
RNDIS (not tested)
Cifs support
NTFS support currently via Stickmount app.
Dynamic fsync via Trickster app. I advise Trickster for settings.
Known issues:
OC apps not correctly reporting 1500Mhz on "ramp-up", but benchmarks report normal OC.
UV: I advise dropping voltage by 50mv at first, then by 25mv until you find the best voltage for your CPU.
Install: Flash through CWM. No need to do wipes, the install will do it.

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

Good to see a (new) kernel for A701. But does this also work on A700 as well?
And a lil off topic: can anyone suggest me a good app to manage cpu/gpu?
Installed and.. awesome! :good:

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

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

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

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

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

Just wondering in everybody else's experience which kernel they find to be the best as far as battery life and performance goes. I've only seen 3 kernels for 4.4.2 being leankernel dkp (I believe that's the name of it) and ktweaker. Also what settings you found to be the best for you (governors, undervolting settings, overclocking settings, Etc.) I do a lot of facebooking but that's about it. So I guess let the discussion begin? I'm running the latest update of cm11.
Kernel are fone depended. Wat works for some ppl might not work for othets. Try them all out let them run couple days then u can decide which is better for you.
BMS and KT747 also have 4.4 versions
Best is subjective. Here's my subjective approach, so caveat emptor, take what I say as personal belief and not a professional benchmark testing...
For AOSP-based roms, here's what my experience is:
Lean: Easiest and simplest of the kernels. Has limited governors, but the tweaked InteractiveX is pretty effective at doing what you need. It also has a crapton of S3 specific tweaks to improve battery life. You can overclock to 1.72 (I believe...) Downside? The min frequencies are 384k, which means other kernels can go into a deeper sleep. The TCP algorythms are limited too, so choose 'reno'.
DKP: I love this kernel, but several people report it doesn't work for them. This kernel has a ton of governors, with 'freelunch' and 'asswax' being the best. There are also a lot of TCP algorythms (choose 'yeah' for best performance). You can overclock to something ridiculous like 2.1... but I keep it at 1.62; there's also deep sleep frequencies down to 54k (yes... 54000), but I tend to stay at108k. The downside? Some people can't get this kernel to work on their device and it doesn't have some of the battery saving tweaks Lean does.
KT: This is kind of the 'go to' for many people, because it has a standalone app that flashes in the process and the dev is pretty active with the S3 version here. Many of the same features of the previous two, but different governors and nothing that's a device-specific tweak; the kernel is developed for multiple devices.
BMS: This, to me, is a similar kernel to KT and was my go-to for 4.3 roms. I haven't used it in a while, so I can't speak to if it offers more governors and customization.
My take and choice?
Lean and DKP offer the best battery and performance than the rest; they seem to give the same performance, so really you can use either and be happy. I find KT and BMS to be sluggish (even with tweaking) on 4.4 roms AND they don't seem to put the device into the sleep I want it to for battery savings.
BUT... If you're flashing Gummy, give the stock kernel a try! It's the only AOSP-based rom that doesn't use the Cyanogenmod kernel and you can actually get some good performance out of it. I flash DKP over Gummy, but I also flash Lean some times.

Anytime, man. I'm ADD when it comes to roms and kernels, so I'm constantly changing them, but I really like the DKP/Gummy combo. FYI, if you're going to flash Gummy, get the 1/15 build... it's the one I'm on and is the most stable as of late.
I also recommend using the TricksterMOD app from the Play Store. It allows you to modify every feature the kernel will allow and can set on reboot.
Let me know if you want to know what my settings are in Trickster... I have it pretty dialed-in to solid performance and battery life.
Oh and as flyest said... nandroid, THEN flash. You should probably wipe dalvik and cache too. You don't have to, but I've had some bootloops before when I didn't.

Don't even bother with the donation version... you can do everything you need with the free one.
As for I/O... you'll hear various claims that one is better than the other, but I stick with ROW. For the memory our device has 'Read Over Write' is the best scheduler you'll get with these kernels. FIOS is really the best, if you can find it, but ROW is what I stick with.

As for I/O... you'll hear various claims that one is better than the other, but I stick with ROW. For the memory our device has 'Read Over Write' is the best scheduler you'll get with these kernels. FIOS is really the best, if you can find it, but ROW is what I stick with.
This may help clarify... or confuse you more lol http://timos.me/tm/wiki/ioscheduler

In my opinion, I found that leankernel is the best for battery saving/performance without tweaking...

Here's only stuff I tweak.
SETTINGS:
TCP: 'yeah'
CPU FREQUENCY: min - 108000 / max - 1620000
GOVERNOR: freelunch
SPECIFIC:
Force Fast charge: YES.
Multicore Power Saving: 1
MPU Voltages: Press minus once for -25. Note that this may cause a 'wake lag' with the screen, so revert to 1150 @ the 1.512 frequency if you have issues.
I also tick the box for 'kernel settings' on reboot, so the app overrides other settings that are in effect @ boot.

How do I change the tcp
In Trickster, TCP is at the very top of the 'Settings' window and should be a drop down menu.

In Trickster, under general, the first option on very top "TCP congestion control"...

Thank you very much
I've always used Lean Kernel for touchwiz and aosp roms. Very battery friendly and over clockable. I also like DKP for touchwiz. DKP has TricksterMod support and I believe Lean Kernel does as well. But if the rom has performance in the settings menu of the rom I use that instead.
Thanks to beepea206... I'm now getting 20+ hours of battery life off of one charge... I'm not changing a thing
Hi all,
I'm still a noob in android, and I would like some help with Trickster mod. I've been using cromi-x 5.x with hund's kernel and app for a while,
and without a doubt, awesome ROM, great kernel, great performance, but high battery draining.
I would like to try the latest that's kernel, I think it's v7, but with a little more juice, but I can't figure how to make the settings of trickster mod to stick.
I've set the cpu and gpu frequencies, apply them and tried rebooting with and without the grace period with the same results. Everything remains unchanged.
Can someone guide me step by step?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my poor English.

Make sure the kernel you're using is compatible with CROMi and not CM or AOSP.

Thanks for the fast reply.
The kernel comes with CROMi install, so I guess it's 100% compatible.
Any leads?
Just for clearing, I'm on the lastest Asus bootloader and latest CROMi-X 5.3a.
You need to enable set on boot.

I've already done that...I think, but I'll give it a try.
So, if I understood, set the frequencies and select kernel under set on boot? No grace period or delay?
Thanks
What are you trying to set it to? You have 1.8 (or is it 1.6GHz) on performance and and 1.3GHz on balanced and 1GHz on PowerSaving. This is what I set the CPU profiles to in the rom.
I'm not sure trickster can change these.....

Wow...now I'm nervous...the Master has spoken :laugh:
Before all, thanks for your great job on CROMi-X :good:. You rock man. I wish Asus could keep up with you.
For now I'm using hund's kernel and changed balanced to 1400GHz with is app. Like I said before, it runs great, but battery pays the bill.
I've tried _that v7, but sometimes it lags on some apps. What I would like, was to set it, also to 1400GHz, and see how it behaves with speed and battery.
In my experience in balanced mode hund's kernel is a lot faster than _that. Maybe because _that in balanced mode varies between 1200-1300GHz.
On the other hand _that is more battery friendly.
But every time I've tried changing it with Trickster nothing happens. Can Trickster do the job? Or it's not possible?
Thanks

For all that I've read, _that is still developing for our tablet, and also I think is kernel is more battery friendly.

:angel: Thanks for the kind words. No more the master than anyone else
I don't think that's kernel oc's the same way as hunds. You can go down but not up in trickster. The limit for balanced is 1.3 so you can't get to 1.4.
I have an idea though
Copy the cpu3.sh to cpu2.show in /system/etc
Then use trickster to knock the frequency down to 1.4. That should work

@sbdags...you pull it of again.:laugh:
Working like a charm, faster and smother than ever. Now trickster is working (limited cpu to 1400 GHz), my tablet flies in balanced mode, and battery is holding on just fine, better than with hund's kernel.
Like I've said before...you rock man.
Many thanks, and keep up with your excellent work :good:

Please clarify how to copy this file.. Where is it and what exactly i should do to let trickster settings stick?

Both files live in the /system/etc folder. You will need root access to do it.
Rename cpu3.sh to cpux.sh and then rename cpu2.sh to cpu3.sh and then rename cpuz.sh tp cpu3.sh. That way your balanced mode will now be performance. Then trickster can move the freq down
