Is it stable for day to day?

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.

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.

Im having fc with package installer any help would be thankfull

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.

[PROJ]Improve/Porting Adreno GPU drivers on Snapdragon Devices

Over at PROJ: Overclocking the Adreno GPU on Snapdragon Devices they were trying to achieve to overclock the GPU to improve performance.
I've decided to open this thread for dedication for software porting/improving for adreno GPU on all Snapdragon chips.
1st thing we require/need to start work is:
Any source for the adreno/gpu drivers that are currently being run on our devices.
Its been mentioned that Acer liquid has same gpu running on lower cpu clock and achieving greater results.
Open source 3D driver for Snapdragon @ CodeAurora | Site Source
Acer liquid GPU drivers and source
Require Acer Liquid dump of adreno libegl files
Acer Liquid Kernel Source | Source site
Benchmark Acer liquid | Nexus One = Desire | EVO4G | Incredible
From there we should be able to improve our drivers from other devices but i think its a good start to look at the Acer Liquid since the source is available iirc.
That should be what we need for a start.
If i'm missing anything please let me know and i'll add it.
I'm posting this here because our devices have the same chip/gpu so its pretty much a win/win situation and we are searching for devs to lend a hand
To make this easier and keep information managed/organised it would be best to post in the original thread i created in Nexus One development forum located here:

I don't think so because a gpu has its own clock frequency. Setcpu changes the CPU clock frequency.

If I'm not mistaken, the Snapdragon code at ColdAurora needs to be compiled against a .32 kernel, which will be possible when HTC releases the source for the Froyo kernel. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Halfway right. They aren't integrated, they are seperate clocks, but OCing the CPU will boost GPU performance.

DINGDINGDING! We have a winner! (almost) The drivers that Qualcomm posted are built against a .32 kernel, but that doesn't guarantee building it against one will make it boot. Especially an HTC sourced kernel since they have their own changes. We tried compiling it against a stock .34 kernel and it wouldn't boot, so I don't know, there may be greater underlying issues.
Also, there is no userspace portion to the driver. If you know anything about GPU drivers, the kernel stuff is usually just a garbage collector & a clock manager, with all the rest of the driver (3D stuff, etc) being in userspace. So we also need the userspace graphics binary from the Liquid.
The Liquid drivers are almost identical to the ones Qualcomm released, so they are most likely why it gets better performance at a lower clock speed.
Now if only there were a way to make idiots keep their mouth shut and let the big boys code... That was the problem in the last thread. We had people keep posting the same ideas that we already knew wouldn't work. Then even going to the point to argue with us & a Qualcomm hardware engineer about how they knew their must be a way to make their idea work! Grrr....
EDIT: Now that I'm done with my rant, let me say that I will contribute whatever I can here.
EDIT 2: And for those of you that are gunna think I'm rude here. Get over it. Don't post stupid things here. Go read the other thread and educate yourself a little about what will/won't work. While you're there, make a note of the stuff people were doing there to get in the way, and don't do it here

I'm confused, why wouldn't this have been implemented in the first place by htc/sprint, wouldn't better/working drivers make for a faster device, less work for the cpu, and in turn better battery life?
Oh wait, this is HTC, they put a 30fps cap on the device because they were lazy. Sorry just answered my own question. I can't code but if you need a errand boy or something let me know.

Also one additional reason. Licensing... Qualcomm sells features and abilities to its products al la carte this was a big issue back with the Tytn and the Titan and some other subsequent devices that had some decent graphics capabilities but were essentially nerfed because HTC and / or the carrier didn't want to shell out the extra pennies to get the licence to utilize them.

I can't even get GLBenchmark to run on my Evo... when I select tests and hit start, it goes to a black screen that is backlit... its been like that for like 5 minutes now...
Anyway it would be awesome if we can get our graphics drivers improved!

I think you may need to watch the video again. In the link you provided, the Neocore score is 28fps, not 38. Sure wish it was that high! I get about 31 in Neocore with the MIUI rom which isnt bad......
any more movement on this? This would be another major victory for the evo community

[REQUEST] Kernel W/CPU & GPU OC

I was browsing the Optimas 2x forum today and ran into an awesome kernel with GPU overclock. which sounds pretty cool to me. also the dev mentioned something about overclocking "system bus" which improvers memory/2D/3D/etc. i think someone in this forum should take a look into this KERNEL and try letting us taste some of this goodness.

G2X
CPU overclock is something that makes sense for us right now but what would a GPU overclock get us? To me thats just something that will lower the life of our phone with no real reward until games come out that our phone can't run. Right now our phone can run pretty much all games at full speed.
gpu overclocking would be sweet... now my question would be has anyone tried to load Optimas 2x kernel/software on the g2x since they are pretty much the same hardware(in theory you would think it would work)... i might even try to load this kernel onto my phone when i get home from work so if i mess anything up ill have my gear to fix it

I remember reading a while ago that GPU/System bus overclocking was attempted by some kernel dev, then later on, the dev realized through extensive testing that GPU and system bus clocks were locked, the changes to the kernel source had no effect (hardwired). Now this was a few months ago when I was reading up on Tegra kernel development before I got my G2x. Now all these could have been obsolete, and maybe now someone has found a way to do the above via kernel source updates.
Another issue that most people don't mention here and many people have been guilty of, is the GPL issue. The guy who supposedly did this overclocking has not published his kernel source code anywhere (GPL/XDA rules issues), so no one can examine what he did and prove that it worked....

Someone in another thread tried this and it messed up their baseband. A restore doesn't fix it apparently.
Big rush dog, the tiamat kernel guru and Guy getting engadet headlines for oc the xoom to 1.7 ghz has gpu oc in his kernels. I will be honest though, I can't tell the difference except maybe video streaming works a little smoother. I personally don't think it is worth the devs time...

Howdy! I'm the developer of that kernel
To be honest the GPU overclocks aren't all that beneficial. There is a little bit of a speed bump (I managed to get the highest score on nenamark2 for example). But the difference is was 27fps vs 32fps. If someone is interested in incorporating that into the g2x I'll be happy to show them the changes I've made. I haven't released the source because I'm lazy but there isn't too much to it.
Actually, if you look at the voltKernel sources for the O2X you'll see the same changes there.

CPU overclock is something that makes sense for us right now but what would a GPU overclock get us? To me thats just something that will lower the life of our phone with no real reward until games come out that our phone can't run. Right now our phone can run pretty much all games at full speed.

Yes, superficial benchmarks like quadrant can be pushed to 5400 only with max cpu oc.
However, did you notice how 1.2 thru 1.5 gets you the same fps with no added benefit than more heat created?
Pushing other things other than cpu should let us remove bottlenecks and not tighten them up.
If you want your G2x to life 20yrs, 1.5ghz is not the way to go.
I have no kernel ready for release, to notice changes, I stuck to 1.5ghz, but the final result will be more likely 1.2 or 1.3ghz.
Maybe with a "don't hold my hand, give me freedom or give me death" DBU version at 1.5Ghz later.
I'm not shy to increase vcore on a SoC. But unlike the Nexus S, this thing gets HOT, fast.
Avetny pointed out that thread, I'll see if fallout hit something I have missed so far.
The clocks get compared to chip defaults in many places, choosing the smaller of the two, so it's just tedious replacing them with sane defaults, unless I stick to my current approach of offsets instead of absolutes.
We'll see.
That's also the reason I don't update my kernel often. Right now commits in cm git are only preparatory, config changes that made things smoother I already used.
I'll release something if they finish their version of BLN.
Or if I'm happy with gpu/bus/ram oc/tweaks.
not going to make people flash a kernel for no reason. As jlevy can attest, kernel not following cm git, not even based on it can work very well.
Not having latest cm commit on kernels that take another approach is not always useful.
Especially if we track regressions that cm devs back out later, that's all this gains.
So yes, there will be a gpu oc, when it's ready.
Great!
@ fallout0 thank you i hope that you can help out one of our devs on this.

thanks morfic i hope everything goes smooth with your kernel, i would love to test it out once u feel it is ready. and thanks for not rushing it.

I remember reading a while ago that GPU/System bus overclocking was attempted by some kernel dev, then later on, the dev realized through extensive testing that GPU and system bus clocks were locked, the changes to the kernel source had no effect (hardwired). Now this was a few months ago when I was reading up on Tegra kernel development before I got my G2x. Now all these could have been obsolete, and maybe now someone has found a way to do the above via kernel source updates.
Another issue that most people don't mention here and many people have been guilty of, is the GPL issue. The guy who supposedly did this overclocking has not published his kernel source code anywhere (GPL/XDA rules issues), so no one can examine what he did and prove that it worked....

You should talk to Fallout0 he seems like he got past the system bus/GPU locked issue. both of you can maybe learn something new from each other. & it would be awesome if the both of you can work on a kernel together.
Wouldn't a higher clocked G2x cause more heat? Heat being the reason this things reboots so often? Maybe a slower G2x is the way to go.
Would overclocking the gpu help run nds4droid any better? What else would ocing the gpu do? Everything seems to be very fast as it is lol

Pushing cpu more I don't see useful other than keep up with your buddy's Nexus S' quadrant scores and make sure your hands stay warm in a cold Chicago winter.
I build kernels usually when things stutter or otherwise annoy me. The pushing the OC usually comes by request of those who just want more more more.
I do like to remove bottle necks.
The hardwired clocks. Well the.cpu ones are hardwired too.
The gpu/bus oc works, until boost and throttling kick in, where again values are compared to hardwired values. using offsets after the comparison would be the way around without killing boosting and throttling.
Guess main thing that stopped me is the heat at 1.5ghz, and the frowns over 1.2ghz and 1.3ghz kernels, without further "what else is in there"
Still hoping fallout can share what he/she has, it'll help making this a reality, sooner.
It's tedious. Most of all.

[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.

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:

No custom animation. I got rid of my lock screen to get to my homescreen faster and added a shortcut to the terminal app. I started typing as soon as the app would let me and got the same error.

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.

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.

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?

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..

sure i could..that's one amazing suggestion..CPU OC or both CPU and GPU removed??

Synapse settings for performance, speed and Battery

I am opening this thread hoping that more experienced users may share their knowledge with us kernel noobs of the world.
Please posts questions, settings and suggestions so we as a community can benefit from everyone's results and hopefully learn something.
Thank you all.
Shared tip!! @Konsstantine34 was so kind to make a video on how to backup and restore profiles on Synapse. Even has good background music 
Please give him a huge thanks.

Ok, so i checked this out a while and actually currently still am....once i get done charging the device I'm gonna give it a battery cycle for everything to set in, but I'm using a slightly tweaked base of the profile you posted with certain settings adjusted for responsiveness of UI, that I'll share once my experiment is complete, along with a clean install of ds battery saver pro set up to toggle all connectivity when the screen is off based on all kinds of configurable settings and scenarios, but basically mine is set up to not totally dialect mobile data during the day when the screen is off, but at night it'll kill everything and just correct and sync for 2 mins every 2 hours- it's pretty slick i think- anyway I'll share my settings and results after a battery cycle or two and maybe a bit of fine tuning for anyone that's interested- in fact maybe I'll just pop it into another thread and keep Tek's rom thread from clutter
I just wish I can find a way to make sky high kernel v 3.9 and synopsis work where I get faster speeds then the stock not five. I have tried everything and the only thing I cam close to was 83598 for speeds. I want to get around 9 if it's posable. With out the phone shutting off

Clear settings in synapse and restart-> wait 2 mins, launch synapse-> hit understood then the square box at top right, then three dot menu and hit select all globally and apply to set some defaults-> now set a57 cores to 500min 2400 max, all governors to performance profile, a53 cores set to 200/1600, performance profiles, multicore performance and everything else disabled, gpu 160/852 and leave gov alone, leave all voltages stock everywhere-> set row scheduler and leave else default-> turn on everything in crontab, network all default-> restart synapse hit the X At top of it pops up AND LET DEVICE SIT FOR 2 MINUTES, now reboot and put your device in your freezer for 5 mins-> During this time synapse boot should've shown but you can check synapse if you like and make sure there's no X at the top-> check thermal and temps should be near 20 degrees or under-> run antutu, start test and return to freezer til compete- > remove from freezer, be amazed

Amazing guidance. What are the deault volts of 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 GHz freqs for you? If these are 1062,5 on yours too; performance governor for a57 may causes reboot. Fyi
Awesome thread gang!! Thanks for starting it up. This will keep @TEKHD rom thread on topic and allow us geeks to lean and master Synaose (hopefully,) lol. I'm OK in it but not so good when it comes to the under/over voltage sliders so that's what I'm here to learn more.about personally. I have a pretty good grasp on most of the other stuff in general so prob about a 69% out of 100 as far as know how but this is great! +1 all and esoecially to @drbveb88 !! Woot!!!

All my frequencies from 2100 up are 1025mV default and i start undervolting from there -50mV @ 2300 and step down from there

@muffinsmuffy (Dont know much about it -shutting down- but). I think, Exynos needs the hotplug support(I saw that on my lg g3 -SnapDragon processor). (6 days deep sleep and just %1 drainage, woahh I want that so badly.)
So, Only cpus stay offline when I set them under 'multicore' section. (6 cores work sweet ). Sim-sung is really not behaving friendly but UITA likes to play with their sources, umm maybe not#
Well on stock A57 cores remain off until needed then kick in under load but that can't be implemented sadly on our kernel or we wont have frequency control over the cpu i noticed that once before on note 3 but had completely forgotten about i just find it a shame that cores stay on for no reason but it shouldn't effect anything

Like they completely shutdown on stock and stay at off state not on minimum frequency would have loved that on a custom kernel

I've never realised that on stock, I bought the device, first day realised deep sleep issue was remaining. In the third day it lost its virginity. Stockish stuffs are really not my type, am happy with whats been developed for us ?
Here here you said mate as long as we even have development im happy because these Samsung aholes dont release nothing

I wouldnt call them like that. They're just not doing perfect but we're still using their devices. They dont release sources right but what would be even no release of device to use lol Think twice, Hallelujah.

Ah then we move to different manufacturers if they don't release me and allot of people are about to completely give up on Samsung if you see the replys to emails i had sent when i asked when are the updates due and there response was they dont have an eta sadly if they don't bring back sd card and removable battery i wont be on the Samsung train anymore ive loved there device's so much but the knox and other rubbish they are putting and removing from devices its like they dont know what they are doing and what customers want not to mention fixability just to replace usb board will have tear the screen apart open the device to replace the battery is a huge risk i feel the note 3 was the last honorable device from Samsung been with them since the s2 and first note but they are losing everything that made them great might move to lg heard they are working on a custom core [emoji108] hmmmm excellent

Quick question on the gpu point ive undervolted mine -50 overclock 852 but on 852 i thought voltage was a bit high so undervolted to 806 mv to so far seems stable but anyway other then antutu to test gpu stability

You're right but, they dont care what people think about them and wish.
Moving to another brand? Exactly what I've done before. Too many years have used Htc, lg, asus, Imate and bunch of devices. I was happy with LG G3 and Meixu mx4 combination.(I was done with Samsung after S3) LG and Htc developers have had all of the rom/kernel capabilities and they have done too many perfect job with snapdragon devices. Appreciate for that. For me, physical looking is a priority. If it looks good, I get more interested in. G4 _ v10 not looks good as edge plus. Its now ok with me, it should be. I will move to another brand when I find a better looking device than edge plus Also removable battery and micro sd support specs are what I am looking for a good device in. Another off topic lol. Sorry for my sick grammar, but my accent is good lol, seems British

I didnt touch the gpu volts much. Its gettin me annoyed when the device is shutting down during the 3d test of antutu. Here is mine. 266- 700 always.

Yup.
Yeah I'm just gonna go ahead and subscribe to this thread. Good on you, OP.
I'm a total Synapse noob and I'm looking for the best possible battery saving profile while maintaining a smooth UI. For now, I'm gonna stay away from the voltage sliders and just set my governor profiles to battery and see what happens. If anyone else has any other suggestions for better battery with a smooth UI, I'm all ears. Not too concerned with benchmark tests.
