Awesome! Thanks for the support!!

Just flashed this kernel. Will reporter deze my experiences in 2 days, first impression is very nice!

thanks for fresh kernel..
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------
@kairi_zeroblade how to install this? just installed over recovery zip? My Own ROM used IC 4.0.3.. when I installed the kernel still same.. need your help.. cheers

Nice Can it be used for non gpe versions?

you need to be S-OFF since this is an anykernel package..if you are S-OFF then eveything will be automated..use Synapse from Playstore to customize settings..

Any feedbacks/rants/violent reactions?? should we keep doing things here?? making me bleed without even the phone with me?? people here seem to be more uncooperative than the people on Xperia..they are craving for an official release already i'm just shy to do so..

I think i'm just happy that anyone cares to develop for this device so i'll take what i can get!
Since flashing 4.4.3 Rom with this kernel, i've noticed some lag on my lockscreen, exiting chrome with home button (home screen re-draws a lot), and pulling up my keyboard, especially in hangouts. I'm trying a different kernel (bilal_liberty) to see if that makes any difference. I think it's about the same...maybe a little bit smoother. I'm going to use that kernel for another day or so, then re-flash yours to make a better comparison.
Thanks for your work for our device.

its because HTC Implemented some DMA mappings..on high density devices(2gb RAM and above) we don't have these issues..this is just a port of what HTC did on M7 so we expect things like this come implemented too..so with the lack of huge RAM, indeed you will suffer issues..as a workaround i built a new one and sent it to Whooper and she gave a positive feedback with the laggs/redraws gone..on next release hopefully everything should be OK..i am just waiting for her to report the battery life for the test if the changes i made affected battery life or is it just stale..
Thanks for the nosy feedback i really appreciate it..any one else with issues so we can start balls rolling for an update?

Thanks for the useful information. I'm looking forward to trying out the new kernel.

Hi,
I've been using this kernel since the day it was released. And I'm very happy about it! The features I like the most are UV (i undervolted 50 mV and disabled krait voltage boosting in synapse) and the way dt2w and s2w/s2s work. UV was really something this device needed. Max cpu temp was about 42℃ and it was idling around 6 degrees above ambient temperature, so it is a lot cooler than when I used different kernels. Battery time is also pretty good. The device has very good deep sleep now in combination with IC and greenify.
Although this kernel is imho the best kernel for the One mini, it still has some issues. The first one is that the launcher redraws pretty often, but I can't say this is because of the kernel. I also experienced this with the kernel that is packed with IC. The second issue is that when I lower the cpu freqs, either with trickster mod or synapse, they don't stick. As soon as I leave the app the frequencies go back to default. And the last thing I found was that after a while I got problems with connection. WiFi and mobile kept going on and off. Clearing cache/dalvik cache fixed it.
Anyway, thank you for this kernel and I hope you will support us for some time!

Yes eventually you have to clear caches since i recompiled a newer wifi module..regarding frequency issues not sticking its due to pnpmgr doing scaling stuff on its own..regarding redraws as explained earlier its due to some memory mapping HTC did to the kernel source..at my best, i did salvage a bit of memory from the GPU..well on next release i will balance the GPU memory to the system memory in proportion to alleviate issues..
Thanks for the feedback..next updates will be abit chunky..L2M is for testing already..and for those fetish with MLG..i will not add it..i won't contribute to backdoor exploits to android thus i am striving my best to eliminate memory leaks which in the latter can cause battery drains or high memory usage..
BTW the kernel packed with IC is mine.. (i made it)

Hi, Kairi
Having issuses with Kernel. Frequ. wont stick in synapse.
If I try to reduce from 1.7 to 1.4 everytime i leave synapse frequencies are on 1.7
Checked permissions of different files and folders all seems to be right so far.
Have you any advice?
Reinstalled app.. cleared cache + dalvik ...I´m on latest Liberty ROM
Thanks for your time and work...to support this device

i'm out of thanks..haha
thanks for the report..next release i will lock the cpu frequncies down to stock.. as explained earlier..we have a closed source binary named "pnpmgr" that does frequency scaling on its own..so no matter how you change frequencies it will always revert to what that binary wants..

Hey Kairi
Ok I understand...so I have a question ...ist it possible to make one with oc enabled
and one without?
Or is this too much work for you?

Undervolt?

THIS THREAD IS MEANT FOR DEVS ON THE MATTER OF UNDERVOLT
According to the guy who made setcpu.
pershoot just changed the voltage used by adjusting the voltages (in mV) in the acpu_freq_tbl table in acpuclock-scorpion.c
So if we just edit the table in our own acpuclock-arm11.c(or acpuclock-arm11.c-OCing), that should give us undervolt?
It can't be that simple?
Code:
/* MSM7201A Levels 3-6 all correspond to 1.2V, level 7 corresponds to 1.325V. */
enum {
VDD_0 = 0,
VDD_1 = 1,
VDD_2 = 2,
VDD_3 = 3,
VDD_4 = 4,
VDD_5 = 5,
VDD_6 = 6,
VDD_7 = 7,
VDD_END
};
Thanks to kleranc for idea.
I should probably update this since it has been reincarnated for some reason. lol.
Regardless, this image will explain everything(thanks jus10o for the nice drawing):

I have to be clear about a few things though:
Under my own testing, and from my own experiences; our processor isn't capable of exerting itself that much. So if you are using an undervolted kernel, it really only undervolts the higher frequencies as you can see in the table above. This is good and bad.
Good: Because you're not using that much juice from the battery and you keep a lower core temp
Bad: Because you may notice performance loss
It also has to be noted that not all processors will behave equally: you may experience no performance loss, or you may experience complete loss. It's a roll of the dice.
About lower frequencies and undervolting(from GSM Hero forum):
dipje said:
To all
Now, about the 'undervolting': A lot of talk and discussion has been going on in the kernel thread(s), and I think every kernel 'hacker' in the end ended up with pretty much the same frequency table and settings. Going lower than VDD_3 ended up in waking-issues or not-responding heroes. Some worked, most didn't. You see the ROMs here and there that used 19mhz and / or VDD_2 or lower now releasing updated versions with just a bit more juice and mhz during sleep, because some heroes really aren't waking up properly.
Or aging 7200 just needs a bit of juice apparently

Is the only benefit of undervolting better battery life?

Well at higher-frequencies we'd benefit a lot on battery life. With just about everyone using Overclock kernels, this could really help out.
For some of us, battery life means a lot.
So phusson has a simple fix for dropping VDD levels.

Name sounds familiar? Yeah he's the same guy who helped us get overlocking on our msm7k phones
So credit to him. Should have somthing ready by tomorrow.
if i am not mistaken lowering the voltage would increase the heat at high clock speeds. this is just a guess from my engineering background.

Yes it would increase the heat, but no substantially. Besides, we wouldn't decrease the voltage too much. Finding just a "safe" undervolt to conserve battery(if it exists).
figured i should update since this has been done...

Huh? Excuse me, but I have an engineering background too (materials science) and must have missed that lecture. What is the principle behind this? I'm really skeptical because I'm 99% sure from my years of PC modding experience that a lower voltage is synonymous with better battery life, longer life-time (opposite effect of over-volting), and lower temperatures.
There are no disadvantages other than instability, which only happens if your voltage is TOO low.
Edit: here's a source that backs my claim

But will this work on sense based ROMs? I know that the frameworks are different with AOSP ROMs. I've been wanting to do this for a while now but I have no expertise at all.
RE: c00ller
I have to agree with c00ller on this. As an engineer with a physics background, and more importantly, an avid PC overclocker, it is considered common knowledge that lower voltages produce less heat, decrease power consumption, and sacrifice stability at higher clock speeds.
Considering that some of our hero's can be clocked up to 768 mHz stable, undervolting should be doable to a reasonable extent. In fact, if somebody wanted to keep stock frequencies, ie up to only 528, a significant amount of undervolting could probably be accomplished.

Check out my blue echo rom later tonight. Decadence just built me a boot.img for my rom with oc/UV at 710 oc and free autokiller built in. Ill upload tonight and its a sense based rom
Just for the sake of clarity:
Will this work on sense roms? (a simple yes or no will do)
Can this be worked into existing kernels?
If someone has a free second, if you want to throw the undervolting into darch's 710 kernel for fresh 2.3.3, i'll test it within 10 minutes of it being posted and throw my results out here.

That sounds good, but I'm really really happy with my ROM setup, and just want to add in a UV kernel. Nothing against you Papa, but is there any way to get a flashable zip of just the kernel?

Is the undervolted kernel that you're going to post a mod of the "DarchKernelv4 710mhz with Free Memory Tweak For Fresh 2.1.1/2.1.2/2.3.3" ??
Some people were reporting possible issues with the FreeMem Tweak and there was talking rolling back to v3...so, are you basing off of v3 or v4? And am I correct in thinking that's the right kernel family?

Just to clarify kernel != ramdisk .
The kernel is #15 from darchdroid 2.7 from the uv.zip just thrown together with the ramdisk from 2.3.3. That equals the new boot.img.

[CM9][Kernel] Shuriken ICS 1.7-1.

I'd like to present to you my first publicly shared kernel, based mainly and solely upon the "stock" CM9 kernel, before they in the future if they decide to, make the jump to a 3.x based kernel. This is a compilation of the talented developers I've had time to get to know and befriend as well as learn from but this is also meant to be as close to the "stock" CM9 kernel without adding anything to drastic. And will remain at this point for the times to come.
What it includes:
Governors the newer ones included were ported over by Nubecoder to EpicCM: performance, ondemand, powersave, userspace, conservative, interactive, interactiveX, smartassV2.
The Overclock steps are based off of Toadlife's Clean-GB, which is based off of the work of Rodderik, as well as the corrected steps which are a product of him and Cyc/dyehya. The steps range from [100,200,400,600,800,1000,1128,1200] and will remain at these levels.
It includes the force reboot button combination from Froyo brought forth into Gingerbread by the combined efforts/guidance of Nubecoder, Tortle and Mkasick.
Kexec support for those who wish to tempflash CWM5BML zip to update modems, Kexec is a product of mkasick's ingeniuty(pure genius I have to say.) And the zip for that flash is a process of the invaluable work of wtogami.
Support for Dock Audio is credited to bbelos, as well as voodoo color in the voodoo color specific version.
Voodoo Sound has been added in from the simplified commits of KernelSanders which is the work of zman0900, which is based off of the work of Earthbound[iAP] so I'd like thank both of them as well.
I'd like to thank Tortel and noobnl, for the initial wave of custom MTD stock TW kernels, it's unrelated but I've no reason not to thank my friends haha and then thank Nubecoder for his own create_boot.img method, which is quite excellent.
And finally so I shut up, in no specific order: Decad3nce, UberPinguin, mkasick, noobnl, DRockstar, nullghost, Tortel, Nubecoder, wtogami, Rodderik, jt1134, dameon78, wispofattes, and many others who greatly contributed to work involving CyanogenMod.

Changelog and Downloads Links:
What's new:
As of 1.1: TUN, CIF, TCPMSS added in.
As of 1.2: Default Gamma Levels on ShurikenVoodoo were adapted by helpful suggestion of bbelos, as well as updated the recovery initramfs, scrolling shouldn't be buggy any longer.
As of 1.3: Addition of RNDIS as well as removal of 1.3, 1.4 from OC, it tops off at 1.2 ghz now, for some stability when overclocking.
As of 1.4: Added in bug fixes from CM9 kernel, involving that of Camera as well as kswapd0. Current Recovery initramfs is odd and shows a weirdness when installing, doesn't display all information.
As of 1.5: Voltage Control output is now fixed, all steps should be recognized, as well as matching Kernel commits with upstream, will be compatible with Alpha 3 when Alpha 3 drops, otherwise not a major update, just keeping it up to date.
As of 1.6: Multitouch protocol fixes by Mkasick, up to date with stock.
As of 1.7: Added 1.3 ghz back in stable, not going any higher than this. No updates to stock kernel, so currently up to date.
As of 1.7-1: Added in ability to disable steps. 1128, 1200, 1316 are disabled by default, for the sake of choice.

Done by TexasEpic4G, thanks man.
As always with voodoo color, when the brightness is too low depending on your settings the green screen tint can occur, I hope you enjoy the experience until your favorite kernels get up to speed.
Messing with settings within Voodoo Control can alleviate this issue via,

As a disclaimer, this kernel isn't fine tuned towards Overclocking as that of the likes of Samurai Kernel but it's not intended to be Samurai kernel or be like Samurai kernel, it's just what it is. The methods to compile my kernel as well as means to build a CM9 MTD boot.img(original method created by nubecoder) are above at my repo's within the OP if anyone would feel the need to go about doing it themselves, as a learning process, I'd be open to help anyone who feels like they want to try.
Reserving for my buddy, he can always change it to him lol
I was first to download. Woohoo. Muchas gracius!

Woah What's up with the weird Freqs. Steps?
But would you think you'll put 1500 in future I know you said those were it but just asking you never know. But if not that's ok how does those steps work with the EPIC we never ran those steps before.
Ill wait for a more stable relase for CM9 and then make the switch From CM7.

Also so it's noted now, any problems bugs you have which you feel are kernel related should be posted within here, and not the main CM9 thread if you're running my kernel. So we can lessen the overall rush towards posting within that thread. Thanks guys.

It's based off of Toadlife's steps for his CleanGB, and honestly for my own personal preference I won't be putting 1500 into my kernel, Earthbound will have his kernel up to CM9 in no time I'm sure, as well as bbelos. I've tested and messed with each of the steps for the sake of use, but otherwise this isn't meant to be a permanent contender kernel wise, just meant for a part time use to hold people off at launch for a bit.

Heh, I'm glad to hear it, if you suffer any random reboots, that's not due to the kernel, it's a ram issue. It's being looked into and worked. But I'll keep up to date as much as I can, Shadow Kernel should be getting updated soon.
Nice work Apro! I wondered when you'd go for a public release

Heh, I'm glad to hear it, if you suffer any random reboots, that's not due to the kernel, it's a ram issue. It's being looked into and worked. But I'll keep up to date as much as I can, Shadow Kernel should be getting updated soon.

Huh how i'm not running any apps right now and am around 230MB usually sometimes around 192MB.
And everything is getting cleared, and all apps are closed too.

Using this right now. Thanks for the quick port.
Is TUN, CIFS, and TCPMSS support turned on? Also, a pet peeve of mine is kernels that change the build number... Any chance you could switch to the localversion string instead (where custom kernel info arguably belongs, see my Github, bbelos's Github, et al)?
EDIT: Apro contacted me on IRC, questions answered.

[Q] Fast, nominal, or slow cpu?

How do you tell if which type of cpu your phone has? I've looked and can't seem to find out how to check my phone to see which I have. My cpu always seems to run hot no matter what type of kernel I try, and I'm wondering if the cpu may be slow and not capable of tweaking.
Any help someone can give me would be great.
To find out which processor you have, use Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Reboot then type this command:
su
dmesg | grep ACPU
Here's an explanation of what this means and also recommended voltage settings for each processor type courtesy of a very knowledgeable, helpful, and great kernel dev: Imoseyon. Any "thanks" goes to him and not me for providing all this info.
Post #1341, just read Imoseyon's response to me:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-ke...11012/page__st__1340__p__1034933#entry1034933
Imoseyon post #1418 for recommended voltage settings per cpu type:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-ke...-kernel-v16-11012/page__st__1410#entry1042976
This is the output I get from that command. How am I supposed to interpret this as fas, nominal, or slow?

Found it. For anyone else that may be looking, go to this site and follow the directions. You'll need terminal installed on your phone. It works on any GS3.

Is there a performance difference between a slow CPU, a nominal CPU, and a fast CPU?

Not that I know of, you can run pretty much any kernel stock as well as adjust governors and io scheduler. The primary difference is in how much you can UC/OC or even UV/OV and how well your CPU can hold those tweaks without fear of bootlooping or instability. But as far as just flashing kernels and leaving them there, you're fine. Like I said, I'm basing this all off of what Imoseyon has said so he is WAY more knowledgeable in this area if you need additional input. This slow, nominal, fast cpu exists based on the manufacturer process so its not something you can adjust. It's permanently set with the cpu.

The basis for the difference in CPUs is the same as car Manufacturing. Part's are divided by spec tolerances. The closer to spec is the difference. In car terms GM separates parts according to how close they are to spec. Fast would go in Cadillac, Nominal Buick and slow Chevrolet. They all use the same part just have closer spec tolerance. :laugh:

As a general rule, CPUs that come off the same fab are tested and then placed into different "bins", based on how they perform at different speeds and voltages. The better performing "top bin", chips get rated and sold at the highest clock speed. The slower chips get a lower clock speed assigned, and are sold at a lower price.
This method works well for AMD and Intel, who both sell a wide range of clock speeds for a particular generation CPU at different price points. It eliminates waste by enabling them to sell the lower performing chips instead of rejecting or destroying them, and allows them to offer different price points which is beneficial from a marketing perspective.
With phones, the CPUs are often clocked the same (e.g. [email protected] 1.5 GHz), but the CPUs still range in capability depending on their mfg tolerances, and in the case of our Snapdragon S2s, they are tagged accordingly. Whether you end up with a slow or fast chip in your phone is totally random, but frequently your chances of getting a faster chip increase over time as the fab process is fine tuned, and chip yields go up.
That doesn't mean you can't get a fast CPU right off the bat. For example, I pre-ordered mine on day 1 (June 6th?) and still got a fast CPU.

That worked, thanks!
Now I know I'm nominal. The first line says "ACPU PVS: [1],FMAX[0]". It's different from the other 2 posted results in this thread (all 3 are actually different). What do those numbers mean?
I was lucky enough to have a fast CPU; which values on those charts do I want? I opened Kernel Turner and went to "Voltage" and it is a bunch of weird numbers--and I see something for "-1.5 across board," how many times should I hit that? I'm assuming that's how you undervolt.

Hi,
First post in this forum in a long time. Or maybe ever.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, I'm new to this ROM, and had a stable one in my Thunderbolt, so was away from flashing for almost a year. Just got a vz S3, rooted it as soon as I got home, and after doing some research, decided on Liquid Smooth. Downloaded Liquid-JB-v2.1-Beta3.1-d2vzw this morning, so whatever the latest version as of this morning (Jan 23) is what I flashed. Also got the correct gapps. All went well, and so far, I like what I've seen. (Thanks, developers, this has been the EASIEST flash to a new rom I've ever done.
One problem, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction, as I'm googled out on trying to find a solution.
When I go to settings, performance, current, or, maximum CPU frequency, the highest it goes it 1512. The youtube videos on this show choices up to 1900.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thank you.

You need to run a custom kernel that is overclockable. The stock kernel on liquid isnt overclockable from what I remember.

[ROM][LP5.1][tilapia|grouper]Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.4.8-20150621 Unofficial

Click the above image to visit the official forum. There are documented details and the Donation link
This is an unoffical experimental build of ResurrectionRemix_LP for the Nexus 7(2012).
Latest 5.1.1_r3 (LMY48B)
Please refer to the tilapia thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3031614
Awesome! My favorite rom and thanks for the 5.3.6 update.

Is it stable for day to day?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Thanks for the new release! Version 5.3.7 has been running great on my grouper, now will test version 5.3.8 and then probably sit tight until CM merges in LP 5.1.
Version 5.3.7 was an excellent release, stable with all the great extra features and the addition of being able to make a custom nav button for the power menu. I don't think any other custom rom has that feature yet but then again, I'm not checking/testing many other roms since you started building RR.
Thanks again for the great work and a great rom.
Mike T
Hi Daniel, thanks for the new 5.1 build. I believe it's the first CM12.1 based rom released for grouper/tilapia...Congrats! Thank you for your work on getting this done so quickly.
I haven't really tested very much, I'm on EST and I'm about to get some sleep. The one thing I initially came across is wifi/settings/advanced force closes.
Also, just for further info, I tried dirty flashing this over RR v 5.3.8 while also flashing Banks latest 5.1 gapps and I got multiple force closes of Google apps, like Gmail and Youtube. A clean flash solved the problem. I also noticed that on initial setup, it takes a fairly long time to process the google connection. It almost looks like it's going to hang. I think this is just something new with CM12.1, as I experienced the same behavior on another device with a CM12.1 based rom. Although in that instance, I had to skip initial setup and let it boot into the OS before setting up wifi and google account.
Thank again for the build, I'll be re-setting it up and testing it out over the next little while.

Mike, keep us informed on how it runs please. I want to try CM12.1 myself, or any ROM based on it for that matter. I've had no luck with any 5.1 based ROM as of yet.
EDIT: Installed it myself as well, but it looks like it may take a very long time to restore the apps. Will report back later.
Please add the download link in the op, rather than to advertise your forum.......
I just wanted to say that after a day of use I find this to be a fantastic ROM. Far too bloated for me but I can debloat it myself. It seems to be stable and fast, but no faster than freakslim. I can't wait until I can figure out how to run this at 1.6ghz then I suspect it will be faster then anything else I have ever tried.
Very good ROM. I highly recommend people try it.

I downloaded the 5.3.9 version (md5 matched), flashed it and lockscreen would always stay black and unlockable. I thought it was a bug, and wiped and flashed again with no gapps. Started facing constant random reboots and I could no longer boot into TWRP, it would just stay at the TWRP splash screen. Fastboot flashed various versions of TWRP but no luck. The only option I had was to flash factory image and wipe off everything.
Scorpn let me know how it runs on 1.6 if good would you think it be as stable as freakslim?

Well, I don't think any of these LP roms are stable. Freaks ROM was never really stable for me, it was just very fast, fastest ROM so far, but its based on 5.0.2. I have not found one yet that I consider stable, not LP based anyway. And is there a kernel that overclocks for use on 5.1 ROMs? I have not tried M-Kernel because he has not updated it to 5.1 yet.
I was "thinking" about trying stock 5.1, but that is almost like me trying to live without breathing. Just the word "Stock" makes me cringe....
Has anyone found a way to overclock these 5.1 based ROMs yet? I really need my 1.5 ghz or 1.6 ghz back. Thanks

Please enlighten me which piece I left out?
I have already included the local_manifest.xml for building this rom. Same as the official Resurrection_Remix ROMs, I use the CyanogenMod kernel.
My Tilapia is a daily driver. Stability and battery life is my main concern. I tried M-kernel. It did't work without modification. I felt the back cover getting hot after a while. I don't think it is good for battery life. Anyway, if you think O/C is essential, just do your own mod. It is the fun part of Android. There are already a few good kernels waiting for you to test.

Some of you guys must be come from a wealthy region and your parents are taking really good care of you. You may get whatever you want by shouting for mummy or daddy. I came from a poor family. My father died when I was at grade school. My mother don't have the resource and education rising us to be some fat and self retarded kid who complaining for an extra mouse click. Most of the time, I have to figure out things myself.
In the real world, we can't get everything we want. We can get something if we are working hard for it. It's time to grow up.
Someone from my Tilapia thread suggested me to add a thread here. I think its a good idea but I don't want to update two separate threads with the same content. So I just included a link.
I cherish a few nice words, a thank or a report (even if it's mean) but I don't think I need this kind of virtual publicity. I would follow RR as genuine as possible, I don't think I can fulfil every need. So I just give my thread one star.

Sorry Daniel, I wasn't talking about your OP (Your OP is fantastic), I was talking about the Bricked kernels OP not mentioning something important, but I now realize its not mentioned for a good reason. lol
Oh, and yes running 1.5ghz or 1.6ghz (my preferred mhz) as was intended by NVIDIA, (1.5 Ghz is NOT an overclock, it is the Tegra3 sweet spot and what the Engineers intended this CPU to run at), but 1.2ghz is a under-clock and can introduce unseen instabilities. Instead, if I limit the device to two cores at 1.5ghz which is all Android uses/needs anyway and using my own settings I get a device that gives me more battery life and a rom that feels twice as fast at everything. The ONLY reason it has a QUAD core cpu, is because Specs sell, even though the engineers knows that Android does not need four cores, the fact is if they introduce an 8 core device, it would greatly sell just because it has 8 cores. The Quad Spec was simply for selling more of them at the time, NOT for a performance boost. There is no reason why we can't have more stability, more battery life and more speed, I just need the settings present so I can dial that in... By the way 1.2ghz on four cores burns more power then 2 cores at 1.5ghz, but 1.5ghz on Android is faster then 1.2ghz, on my N7 anyway. So, I just prefer to utilize the cores more efficiently, that's all. This device needs more mhz, not more cores. My N7 is super stable at both 1.5 and 1.6ghz, and it is only when I try 1.7ghz that it loses any stability. All CPU's get warm when turned on (I worked for Intel for a very long time, I know this), so if I can feel the heat on the back that just tells me the Thermal Interface is working efficiently. Its not a sign that something is wrong with the device.
Anyway, I'm not a Software developer, I'm an Intel Electronics Technician by trade, so I don't want to try and build my own kernel, I get a headache if I stay at the screen too long anyway, haha. Which is why I asked if someone knew of a 5.1 based kernel that already had more settings potential. Its perfectly OK if one isn't available yet, but I can still ask around? I been here at XDA since before the Android days (Windows Mobile first brought me here) and the one thing I learned is that this place is intended for asking questions. I have hundreds of helpful posts spread out over nearly 8 years, so I "should" have the right to ask if a kernel exists that suits my device and usage patterns better. Right? :good: It was just a friendly question anyway.
Your OP is great, and your ROM is awesome Daniel. I just want to "try" and get more out of it like I did with all the previous ROMs I have used. Thanks :good:

Thanks for the info!
My tab runs on max. 1.3G and it would take longer to generate the same among heat as in 1.5G. I assume that's normal.
In this case, I'll download and study the manual for Tegra3. If I can, I might add higher frequencies to the kernel's table. It seems doesn't hurt to have extra choices.
Further info. are welcome.

The only option I had was to flash factory image and wipe off everything.

P.s. I've been seeing something about android 5.0 coming to our device, if someone would be wanting a kernel built let me know. Post a link and I'll get to it but until then here ya go .

I haven't built one for the smt231 before....how hard could it be.
U have the degaswifi3g right?
This kernel made my T230 lag more with graphics than normally. (Only little bit though)
I didn't notice any performance increase otherwise either.
Also I think battery drain is much higher in deepsleep than in stock kernel. I had this problem with earlier custom kernels too.
But would be awesome if it gets more stable some day. Good job trying to still give a life for this old tab:good:

Ya i figured out why too, when I was building back in 2015 I always struggled to get the CPU running smooth. I've found out that the kernel can run at 1768 but struggles due to the ram and axi, which both can only run so high. I've dropped the max to 1586 and plan on leaving it there because its is a lot smoother and over clocking the axi and ram improved the smoothness quite a bit but that literally the max I can get it for now. Will post another build tonight for you to check out.
DELETED
Sorry its taking some time. Something I changed is causing a bootloop, I'm trying to fix it now

Try the new test build see how it is.

It feels lagging too. Stock kernel lags too, but with it you can pull top bar down more smoothly(I think). This tab is kind of laggy with UI animations anyway so a bit hard to say is there a difference. I will still leave it installed over night to see how much battery it drains while in deep sleep with no wifi. Also even if it's lagging the cpu usage doesn't seem to need to go over 50% when using kernel adiutor(I only tried to pull top bar down switch menu though, but with this lag I though it should go higher). Not sure how high did the stock kernel cpu usage rise. Will check tomorrow when I install it back.

I don't think here was any higher battery drain in deep sleep than with stock kernel. I think the cpu usage goes higher in stock(when just pulling menus in kernel adiutor, but now they move smooth/smoother). Also now I'm sure the stock kernel is much smoother with animations.

I'm not home at the moment but I'll see what I can do when I get back.

posted another test kernel. i took out the 156 frequency for now, seemed to make it buggy

Yeah, now it is at least as smooth as stock kernel. I think some apps move a bit snappier. I'm gonna stick with this version for now.

I don't have any games in tab. Which game doesn't load, I can install and check if it works for me.
