Is Force GPU Rendering even worth using nowadays? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

The option still remains in dev options, and I always check it. But Idk if it's even necessary anymore.

When GPU rendering was first added, it was very unreliable. Sometimes it would be slower than software rendering, and there were some kinds of GUIs that it just couldn't work with. For this reason, it was up to the app developer to test their app with GPU rendering, and set an option in the app's manifest (the same place that it declares its permissions) to enable GPU rendering for that app. The option was mainly to make it easier for developers to test the effect of GPU rendering on their app. This makes sense because:
most users don't know or care about what GPU rendering is, and don't know whether it should be on or off for any given app; and
the setting really needs to be per-app, not device-wide, because some apps just wouldn't work with GPU rendering turned on.
After further development, when 4.0 came along, GPU rendering got more reliable, so it became the default for all apps: it's now up to the developer to explicitly disable GPU rendering if it causes a problem in their app. (That's very rare now.) The "Force GPU rendering" option is vestigial and rarely used even by developers now, because it's already the default.

You have to contact mike1986 for that , its his ROM and regardless of what you do you'll need his permission to use it in your ROM
not sure if all ICS roms have this option (im using virtuous inquisition) but if i goto Settings->Debug, there is an option to force GPU rendering

Yes, but if you turn that on, it tends to break some apps and widgets. It sounds ultra nifty, because, you know, GPUs are vastly superior to ordinary PUs (Like CPUs and Abaci or abacuses...or abacum..) but it will crash some apps that aren't made to run on the higher level of enlightenment. Lots of plain vanilla stuff with no transparency or 3D effects are what mostly jacked my phone up. It drove me nuts until I turned it off and everything started working again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's as simple as adding "debug.sf.hw = 1" to the build.prop.

Alright so here's the first release of this kernel for codeworkx's CM9 with hardware acceleration.
Again this is for codeworkx's cm9.
Also, this is for codeworkx's cyanogenmod 9.
One more time, this is for cm9 only.
Finally, this is for cm9 and cm9 only!
Don't let the "alpha" title fool you into thinking it's not stable... it is... It's only alpha because it's still in the "testing" phase.
FEATURES/CHANGES
Overclockable to 1.38GHz
Underclockable to 150MHz
GPU overclocked to 384MHz (highest possible without bottlenecking and battery waste)
Tuned OnDemand Governor (recommended)
Interactive Governor with time view concept (learns from your use and adjust parameters accordingly)
Wheatley Governor (optimized use of C4 state)
Hotplug Governor (turns of one of the cpus to save power when load is very low)
Pegasusq Governor (A better version of Hotplug, but experimental and not designed for our devices)
SIO scheduler for speed/performance with flash storage
Linaro Toolchain
Linaro optimizations and patches
Linaro makefile compiler flags
Makefile Optimizations to boost performance
Optimized CRC32
Optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
Tiler Memory increased to 32MB (linaro)
Other Tiler patches/tweaks to improve 2D gpu performance
SLQB allocator
lib/string use glibc version for speed
lib/memcopy use glibc version for speed
lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1 and removed ARM sha1 routines
I/O backport from 3.2 linux kernel for less dirty throttling
Tweak CPUIDLE to enter deep sleep faster thus saving battery
LowMemoryKiller backported from 3.4 kernel
Disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS for improved performance
Allow Deep Sleep to occur when media decoder is active allowing the cpu to shut off when playing music or video.
Allow MPU logic to power down when in deep sleep to save power.
Increased default readahead value to 1024KB for faster sdcard reads
A lot of stuff I probably forgot I did.
Also includes a ridiculous amount of bugfixes, patches, and tweaks that can found on my github commit log.
***Read Me***
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, USE SETCPU PROFILES OF ANY KIND OR ANYTHING SIMILAR WITH THIS DEVICE. Things like screen off max frequency, temperature throttling, and others are already built in to the OMAP architecture. Using ANY profiles will ONLY lead to problems, instabilities, and battery drain.
***************
Let me know how it "feels" especially by default without overclocking or underclocking. Also I'd be interested in how the battery treats you. Thanks!

Which boot screen. I think I know the issue if its not the cyanogenmod one.

I have this issue too and it's the Tab2 10.1 screen. (the first one that shows during boot)
It's the Tab 2 Splash screen. I can adb, go into DL, and get into CWM so it's fine... it just won't boot.
Yeah its probably because I forgot to use the 10.1 ramdisk. I'll upload a fixed version shortly.

No worries man.
Thanks for getting started anyway, a lot of devs can use your fork now.
New version up. In addition to some bugfixes and reverts, this time the espresso10 ramdisk is actually used instead of the 7 inch version
Now it installs fine. What app should I use to control it? NSTools, Voltage Control, CPU Master, etc...

Glad to hear it. Let me know how it runs.
Really doesn't matter what you use as they all modify the same sysfs entries. I like no frills CPU control because its simple and only does what I need it to do.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
Changing OC settings with NSTools or CPU control causes reboot. Settings don't change.
I can change min freq and governor (tried it with interactive and wheatly), just not max freq.
Works like a charm now. I'll keep you up to date on performance once I've done some testing.
Works fine in voltage control, and stable at 1380 so far with little heat. I haven't really stressed it though but it does run smoother and more responsive than before. The GPU seems snappier too. Great job.

Can you post a complete "feature list" with next version ? Oh, and can Voodoo sound be integrated for better (sound) quality ? I'll keep pressing the thanks button.
Thanks for the kernel, will test it later this day.
Maybe you can add an how to flash guide for the n00bs who want to flash but don't know how to do it?
works works works!!!!!!!!!! like an awsomeness thing! hehe i know that i can trust on you m8, but i did ask for it..yet and you made it! thx really THX!!!!!!
Hi,
Thank you for work but is what I am to have a problem of hangs and of connection with WIFI
Been testing the kernel with default settings for some hours now ... started using it since 11.oo this morning and started with a full battery. After playing some games (tablet/battery temperature stayed normal) and browsing the net, checking emails and some more stuff i must say the kernel works smooth and my tablet runs faster. Am using the kernel for 3.5 hours and the battery is at 71%. No weird things happened so far. WiFi and bluetooth both work fine in other words...
the kernel feels goOOOood

FAQ
Q. My phone is running hot!
A. This is usually related to the voltage being too high. Try lower voltage, and try to determine which frequencies are running hot for you. You may need to also restrict your max CPU frequency with SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, if the frequency won't run stably on your phone.
Q. CPU-intensive apps (particularly games) terminate abnormally after a bit of use.
A. This usually means the voltage is a little too low for that frequency. Try to raise the voltage (only 12.5mv at a time) until you find a stable voltage, and let the rest of us know what value is best for you.
Q. My phone won't even boot with this kernel.
A. Sounds like the voltages are too low for you. Try the "STD" version, which uses voltages only slightly lesser than stock.
Q. I want GPU overclocking, but I don't want CPU overclocking.
A. Use the "OC" version, and use SetCPU, System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc, to set the max CPU freq you want.
Q. Proximity sensor doesn't work during a call
A. Fixed in version 0.4
How stable is it?
And also, if I read/understood the "main features" right, you limited the CPU to only use 2 cores instead of 4?
I read that you did it for more stability when overclocked, but if this only uses 2 cores out of it's 4, I will be very hesitant to flashing it...
Either way though, this is great progress! We are finally getting a handfull of developers for the Padfone 2! Hopefully we can get Cyanogenmod ported soon aswell!
Great job!

I've been using it for a few weeks, and when I had 4 cores enabled, I found it a bit unstable. With 2 cores enabled only, it flies along due to the higher frequency, and is rock-solid.
Unless you're using the MSM_DCVS Governor (which isn't default even on stock kernel), not all the cores are used except for under high load. Using Interactive, Performance, and other Governors, it usually keeps 3 cores off, and just powers the second one up when doing things. Only when running very CPU-intensive tasks will all 4 cores be used, and the phone will run very hot. If using the MSM_DCVS Governor, it'll continually lower the CPU frequency anyway. These factors are why I've limited the CPU cores - the end-result is a faster, cooler, and less power-hungry kernel.
Nevertheless, I'll upload another one in the next couple of days with all 4 cores enabled, so people can test it out.
First of all nice work here ! Good to see people progressing. As im still bit of a noob and my question maybe quite noobish.
I have NOS installed on my padfone 2 atm and its working flawlessly. Just before I try this I wanted to ask you if this will some way interfere with NOS ?
I would happily be our test monkey if needed
One more time,
Thank you !
Hey first of all this is very nice that you develop kernel to padfone and its nice to see some progress , but i would like that if you make the kernel with 4 cores and little bit smaller clocks ex 1.5 or 1.6 and if you set low freg to somewhere near 100mhz. That would be nice to see

Quad core
I've recompiled the kernel with all 4 cores enabled, and will update after I've done some stress testing. (I won't upload it if it's not stable for me.)
When I tested it a few weeks ago, quad core was too hot, but I've tweaked the voltages quite a bit since then, so hopefully it'll be upload-worthy.
How to download link using phone?
Quad core version uploaded
I've uploaded the Quad core version too.
Curious to here other people's experiences on that - I personally find that my PF2 barely uses the 3rd & 4th cores (even on stock kernel), so I prefer the dual core kernel version (faster, more stable, less heat, less voltage requirements), but CPUs differ a little from phone to phone.
Keen to here people's tests from the dual core kernel vs the quad core kernel.
Me currently testing dual core version
Just downloaded and installed the QuadCore version. Will be back here in a couple of days!
Can you say thank you too many times ? NOT!
Thank you once more !
Thank you for quadcore version wil try it out!

Reboots in Padfone Station
I tried to use the dual core version today during some meetings and it was fine when in phone mode, but after using it in the station for a while it would get very hot and then reboot. I was overclocking it to 1.7. Anybody else have similar experience?

Usually "very hot" means that the voltage needs to be lowered. Can you try using System Tuner to lower the voltage slightly for 1.7ghz frequency, and advise whether that helps?
i have flash the dual core ver.
But when i boot and at the asus loading logo, it keep shining white screen and some color line.
After booted into system it soft reboot again and again. then i revert to stock kernel it fine.
i already wipe cache/dalvik
i am using TWRP 2.5 and stock rom
Undervolting 1.7
I have not tried it in the padstation yet, but the 4 core version undervolted 1 step down (1125 I think?) was stable when I just played Final Fantasy 3 for about 20 mins. CPU spy shows that it was running at 1.7 during that time. No apparent heat issues and no reboots or anything like that. I will try it in the padstation and report back later.
---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------
Just to be clear I only further undervolted the highest frequency (1.7). Other parts of the table were default for your 4c kernel.
Which app is recommended to overclocking and undervolting?

[KERNEL][TouchWiz] TerraBuzz [22 May][PR2.7][STweak][OC/UV][CPU/GPU/MDNIE]

Hello,
Let me introduce a kernel that I've been using every day. Despite the name which is me, the actual developer of this kernel is aatjitra, so please thank him. Since he is using N7105 and for ease of reports, we decided to make a separate thread for the International Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 model. So it is me that will maintain this thread for N7100. Of course with the help of him to answer questions.
For GT-N7105 model, please visit the original thread here
* WARNING *​This kernel is only for stock ROM or TW Based custom ROM!​DWYOR - Do With Your Own Risk!!!​​
TerraBuzz kernel is created for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that will suits daily usage. There is no cutting edge and fancy development for this kernel as it's made as close as stock kernel based on source code provided by Samsung. Only cherrypick modification/enhancement from other developers to be implemented in this kernel. This kernel is fast, stable, and battery friendly. All tweaks and modifications are carefully tested to ensure great performance without compromising Galaxy Note II standard features.
Some unnecessary debug and log is also removed to make this kernel as light as possible.

Screenshots
Here are some screenshots collected from some of our users in the development of this kernel using various ROMs. Please use it as reference only, actual experience and results may differ.
TerraBuzzQ CPU Governor (Suspended)
I tried a few CPU governor which can suit my preferences that will turn off CPU core if the load is light to save battery.
And I come to LulzactiveQ by Tegrak that initially I think this is suitable for me. Nobody is using this governor for Note 2 and I dare myself to try it on my own.
Later on, I modified the source code for LulzactiveQ to remove some parts that I don't need and create my own logic for this cpu governor.
There are 3 thresholds for CPU load:
High Threshold = 100%
Up Threshold = 60%
Down Threshold = 30%
If CPU load = High Threshold (CPU Load = 100%)
CPU scaling per 200 MHz until it reaches maximum frequency 1600 MHz.
If Up Threshold < CPU Load <= High Threshold (CPU Load between 61% and 99%)
CPU scaling per 100 MHz until it reaches 1400 MHz and stop at that point.
If Down Threshold < CPU Load < Up Threshold (CPU Load between 31% and 60%)
CPU scaling per 100 MHz until it reaches 1200 MHz and stop at that point.
If CPU Load <= Down Threshold (CPU Load less than 30%)
CPU down to lowest frequency 200 MHz.​
By this logic, TerraBuzzQ Governor suits my daily usage pattern and tested by beta tester team. The result is great battery life and no lag encounter in heavy game such as Real Racing 3.​
Finally, it's available in XDA...

[Kernel][Tuneable][STOCK/CM] SmoothMod Kernel for SM-T311

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.

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.
