READ THIS: I added almost all important topics which have been discussed around the kernel thread to the OP and wrote this FAQ just that you guys don't have to browse through 100+ pages of the thread. READ BEFORE YOU ASK and HELP TO KEEP THIS THREAD MORE CLEAN! BUT ALSO BETTER ASK ONCE MORE BEFORE YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE! If you find something missing in this OP/FAQ, please PM me and I will add it. Thank you!
You can find the FAQ at the bottom of this post!
This is a direct port of my RAZR-JBX-Kernel Hybrid for Motorola Razr!
This kernel is built of the Kexec Project which was initiated first by Kholk & [mbm] and finished by the STS-Dev-Team (Hashcode, Dhacker). Using this kernel will provide addtional features to your ATRIX 2.

Support for Trickster Mod Kernel Control App (Download from Gplay)
*]Too much stuff to list here. See "Sources" below and check my Github
* HTC's Asynchronous Fsync and Dynamic Fsync:
Asynchronous fsync (called "afsync" or "async fsync") from HTC is ported into this kernel. By default it's enabled and dynamic fsync is disabled (and as well it isn't needed anymore).
The dynamic fsync toggle in Trickster Mod is now serving both functions - the dynamic fsync AND the asynchronous fsync! How? By default Dynamic Fsync is disabled, and Afsync is enabled. If you now enable Dynamic fsync using the toggle, Afsync will be automatically disabled, so both functions are not conflicting each other - and this way we have a working toggle for both of them.
CAUTION
This is a work in progress! Some of the current features are still not in final stat. If you are facing issues report back here and DON'T spam the threads of the rom you're using!
Be careful with some settings such like Voltage and Overclocking!!! If you aren't experienced with these things, dont play with 'em!

REQUIREMENTS
Rooted device
Must use a Kexec Rom (CM, AOKP, AOSP)
Recovery (BMM, SS)
REMOVE any kernel modules you used before
DEACTIVATE ANY CPU tweaks, onboot settings etc otherwise your phone may not boot!
CAUTION: The kernel needs a clean setup related to CPU tweaks / Settings, etc...Keep your device as clean as possible regarding to Tweaks, CPU special settings, etc. The Kernel brings its own CPU settings and after you can boot it succesfully, you can set it like you want!
Some roms may use CPU tweaks. This can cause issues like reboots and freezes. Check the init.d folder for any CPU related stuff and Kernel modules - then remove it. E.g. Remove any scripts which include "insmod" commands.
The best setting is to have stock CPU settings set
This kernel may not work on all roms! Check and report.
TO DO LIST
- Fix bugs
- Fix compile warnings
- More features.

2. Issues
1.1 How can I change the smartreflex minimum/maximum voltage
What is Smartreflex?
SR is compareable with an CPU governor but not for scaling frequencies but for voltages. That means SR has a fixed range of voltage (min/max) and calculates the optimal voltage for each CPU frequency. In example on light use of the CPU it scales down to lower voltage - on heavy use it can sclae to higher voltage. This is an efficient system to save power! Compared to EMIF which uses the hardcoded voltages it saves more power because it's variable. EMIF cannot vary between the values.
This interface has a hardcoded range of 830mV min to 1450mV max. Usually there is no need to adjust these values but irt can be usefull in example when using high overclocked frequencies above 1,5ghz! Usually SR cannot handle frequencies above 1,5ghz and I have hardcoded the maximum range of 1,45mV which should allow SR to handle it. In prior times the users had to turn off SR when OCing above 1,5ghz which causes the CPU to eat more power. But you can try around and report your results.
CAUTION: Don't raise the maximum SR voltage too high! It can burn your board = no phone anymore! I recommend to not use higher values than 1490mV! As already mentioned: THe default value should be enough!
ANd also: USUALLY THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON SR! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!
Ok, now let's see how to do this:
Turn ON/OFF SR
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. You can toggle ON/OFF SR for each component (IVA, CORE, MPU)
Usually I recommend to keep SR ON because it saves power! But in some cases when overclocking the CPU (MPU) the device could freeze - whether you OCed too much or SR couldn't handle the frequency! In this case you can try to raise the vmax value of SR a little bit (CAREFULLY!) and try again. If it sitll freezes and you're sure that you didn't OC too much, turn SR OFF at least for MPU!
Maximum Voltage
Currently there is no app which supports the feature of adjusting the SR vmax value, because I wrote this feature some days ago.
But in the next Trickster Mod version this option will be supported!
example:
# To read the current vmax value. Replace XXX with one of the following:
sc_core - for core max sr voltage
sr_iva - for iva max sr voltage
sr_mpu - for mpu max sr voltage (mpu is most related for CPU scaling)
cat /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
# You will get an output, e.g. for mpu = 1450000 (1450mV)
# To set a new value, do the following command (replace XXX with a value like above - BE CAREFUL! USUALLY THE DEFAULT VALUE ENOUGH AND YOU CAN LEAVE IT UNTOUCHED!)
echo XXX > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/XXX/vmax
Minimum Voltage
It's easy because Trickster Mod supports it!
1. Open Trickster Mod
2. Head to the "Specific section"
3. Scroll down to "Smartreflex"
4. Below each SR component (IVA, CORE, MPU) there is displayed a value (usually 830 default) which means this is the lowest scalable voltage for this component. You can try to decrease this value for the case you want to UV a bit more - or raise it a bit for the case you think that the set range is too low and causes freezes on your device.
1.2 How do I use Live OC (Live OVerclock)?
This feature allows you to overclock the CPU in realtime. It works with a multiplier value set by the user. The default multplier value is "100", which means: No OC! If you want to raise the OC frerquency, just raise this value step by step.
FOr my device the maximum working OC value is "111" which means the maximum frequency is running at 1498mhz!
NOTE: Keep in mind that you tunr Smartreflex OFF for higher freqs than 1500mhz - or raise the maximum SR voltage range for "MPU" a little bit and test if it works.
Ok, how to use Live oC in action:
Open Trickster Mod App and swipe to the tab "Specific". There you will find something like this:
Code:
MPU OC [100]
DON'T TOUCH THE "CORE OC" SECTION, IT WILL CAUSE FREEZES!
Now slowly increase the value "100" to something higher, e.g. "105". Tap the hook in the right upper corner to confirm. To see your new set of frequencies you can now whether close and restart Trickster Mod or just use any monitoring app like Cool Tool which will show your frequencies in real time. That's it!
CAUTION: You can damage your phone forever!!!! This feature allows you to set very high frequencies (also up to 2,0ghz...) - That DOESN'T mean that your phone can run these frequencies!
If your phone freezes or crashes you have probably set too high OC - or your voltage is too low.
1.3 How do I use Custom Voltage (EMIF)?
NOTE: This only adjusts the fixed voltage! When you have Smartreflex ON it can still vary! You have to see the bigger picture: This voltage value sets the "middle point" for voltages. Smartreflex is still able to increase or decrease the voltage. When Smartreflex is OFF the CPU will stay on this voltage you set here and probably eats also more power.
How does EMIF works together with Smartreflex:
Code:
-------
| CPU |
-------
|
------------------ ------------------
|Voltage 1015 mV | ---->| SMARTREFLEX ON| = 1015mV +/- "vmax"/"vmin"
------------------ -------------------
|
--------------------
|SMARTREFLEX OFF| ----> 1015mV FIXED! No changes!
-------------------
Thi smeans if you change the voltage for a scaling step (OPP) while SR is ON, SR will adjust the voltage from this value, means: mV-Value +/- SR vmin/vmax. WHen SR is OFF it will stay on this mV as a fixed value.
How to adjust the voltage?
Well, this feature can be used with all generic apps which are supporting voltage settings. But we are prepared well, you can adjust voltages also with the "Trickster Mod App".
When you open the app, head to the tab "Specific" and below the "Live OC Section" you will find your voltage table, which looks like this:
Code:
<-->
1200 [1398]
1000 [1388]
900 [1371]
...
..
..
Now just tap the arrows in the right upper above the first voltage value and just type or tap (per direction) a value, e.g. "-25". To apply it, confirm by tapping the hook in the right upper corner of your screen. That's it, your new voltage values are now set and applied. And also mind here: If your phone freezes you porbably have set it too low.
CAUTION: NEVER SET HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN 1490mv here!!!!! Or you might damage your phone FOREVER!
This voltage is not the same like Smartreflex! But it's still voltage! Just be carefull!!
1.4 How can I use GPU OC and GPU Governor?
GPU Overclock doesn't work like Live OC! You cannot really set custom frequencies for the GPU, but you can select and set the maximum frequency from a hardcoded range!
For the GPU there are the following available frequencies:
154mhz (FIXED!)
307mhz
384mhz
416mhz
The minimum frequency of 154 is FIXED! This means you cannot change it because the GPU needs a minimum speed to run with. But the kernel allows you to select the maximum speed. This can be usefull for playing games and also for saving power . In example when not playing games you don't need the GPU to run at 416mhz! Set it to 307mhz in this case and save power.
When you open Trcikster Mod and head to the "specific section tab", you will find "GPU MAX FREQUENCY" and it's currently set maximum frequency. Tap on it to select your preferred one:
- 154 Mhz
- 307 MHz
- 384 MHz
That's it. The new setting will be your new maximum GPU frequency.
Below there's another option called "GPU Governor". Just tap on it and select your prefered one.
NOTE: If you want to track current GPU frequencies and watch governor's behavior, just switch to Trickster's "Informations" - Tab and watch the frequencies clock.
1.5 How can I use Gamma Control?
What is gamma? The gamma setting sets the color range for the screen. You can compare it to the contrast. We all know that the touchscreen eats most of the power compaerd to all other components in a smartphone! A lower brightness causes less power consumption and a lower gamma or contrast range alos helps a little bit to save power.
In this kernel you can choose from a range of "5 - 10" while "5" is very bright while "10" is very dark. The default setting is "5" BUT CAUTION: Trickster Mod will display a range of "0" to "10" and the default setting will be shown as "0". This is caused by the fact that this feature was ported from the Gnex device where you can choose from a higher range. The only sideeffect is that the values "0" - "5" won't show any difference.
How to set the gamma value?
Well, once again open Trickster Mod and swipe to the tab on the right end. Just select your preferred value by using the slider.
Alternately you can use sysfs by terminal or adb:
OMAP Gamma interface:
echo i > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma
Replace i with 0-10 of your choice.
1.6 What is "Battery Friend and how to use it?
Battery Friend is a simple toggle (ON/OFF) which sets your device into a battery friendly mode without the need to play with all settings in Trickster Mod /sysfs until you find a good setting. In fact it does the job for you.
What does it affect?
NOTE: Doesn't lock anyx frequencies anymore!
locks dynamic Fsync enabled
locks Fsync disabled
Doesn't allow any OC (Live OC will not have any effect, Core OC is not allowed in this kernel)
Increases the dirty ratio interval to 90% (starts working at this value)
Enables Dynamic Hotplug: This doesn't allow hotplugging during device is active - and it will always turn CPU1 OFF during suspend! It also prevents from conflicts when user uses a hotplug governor (which isn't a good idea though) - but hotplug governors are causing higher battery drain!
Dynamic Page-writeback always enabled
How to toggle Battery Friend:
For now the only way is via terminal, adb shell or root explorer (text editor)
For terminal and adb:
Code:
echo 1 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Enable */
echo 0 > sys/kernel/battery_friend/battery_friend_active /* Disable */
For Root Explorer
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to sys/kernel/battery_friend/
Open "battery_friend_active" with Text Editor
Change "0" to "1" and safe the file to enable
Change "1" to "0" and safe the file to disable
1.7 Suspend Governor Control (CURRENTLY DISABLED)
Suspend Governor Control is a kernel module written by me. You can use it to set your preferred Screen-Off-governor.
For now it's only supported by sysfs (Trickster Mod will support all my current and upcoming features as soon as it gets updated with its new UI mode!
How to set suspend governor
Open a terminal or use adb shell
Code:
su
echo "x" > /sys/kernel/suspend_gov/suspend_gov
Replace x with one of these values:
0 = Ondemand
1 = Ktoonservative
2 = Conservative
3 = OndemandX
NOTE: No matter what governor you use for suspend mode, if Battery Friend is enabled the second core will be turned off during suspend!
1.8 IVA Overclock
What is IVA OC?
IVA OPPs are controlling the CPU load for sound events. It could be useful (in some cases) when you get sound related laggs. Just set the maximum frequency to highspeed. This will allow more CPU power for sound events but also will cause higher battery consumption.
How to use IVA OC?
If you want to check the current IVA frequency. Just type in Terminal or ADB:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_clock
You will get an output like this:
Code:
132 Mhz
2. You can whether enable IVA highspeed: 130 - 430 Mhz ["1"] or enable IVA normal speed: 130 - 332 Mhz ["0"]
320 Mhz max: echo "0" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
430 Mhz max: echo "1" > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/iva_freq_oc
1.9 DPLL Cascading
DPLL: Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) algorithm
To get more info about this please see wiki
But to sum it up shortly: It helps to use/stream media (music) in a low power mode.
NOTE: DPLL Cascading will be available to be switched easily via Trickster Mod App soon!
How to switch DPLL?
DPLL is ENABLED by default!
Open Trickster Mod -> Speicific Tab --> DPLL (soon)
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active
1.10 HDMI toggle
Some users are facing a RAZR-sepcific problem: HDMI cable is detected, even though there is no cable plugged!
Therefor I included a toggle to switch HDMI wether ON or OFF. Additinally there's an init.d script included within the AROMA Installer you can select during the installation of JBX-Kernel.
To enable/disable HDMI on-the-fy:
sysfs:
Turn off:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
Turn on:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active
1.11 Intelli-Plug
For intelli-plug hotplugging is now only allowed when the device enters sleep.
To enable hotplugging universally just change the value of the following entry whether to 1 (on) or 0 (off):
Code:
sys/module/intelli-plug/parameters/int_hotplug
*Unfortunately I don't have enough space in the OP to write all this into the FAQ, that's why the I only added the sysfs path, but the description is simply here
2. If anyone has the following issues:
Issue
Media Process FC
No SD-Card in File Explorer
My CPU Settings (frequencies, etc) won't be saved (it sets itself back to Kernel default after screen off)
My phone freezes/reboots always when I try to set options in Trickster Mod
The device is lagging very hard
Solution
Media FC: Open App settings, head to "Download Manager" and "Media Storage" and hit the "delete data" button. Reboot. Now it shouldn't give any FCs anymore and after a little bit of waiting it will find all Media (Pictures, Videos, etc..)
No SD-Card: Reboot into recovery, go to "Mounts & Storage", tick "mount int" or "mount ext".
USB: Make sure the screen is ON while plugging the cable in.
CPU Settings: This is a bug which cannot be solved at the moment. Temporary solution: In Trickster Mod just activate the "Frequency Lock" and your settings will persist.
Trickster Mod:: Open App settings, Trickster Mod and select "uninstal updates". Now it should work.
Crashes, Freezes, lagging, something doesn't work, etc
There are too many reasons which could cause crashes! So here is a checklist for you to look for. Check each point and try the following workaround:
- Your rom has CPU tweaks (e.g. Kernel modules, init.d folder, etc)
- You have set custom CPU settings (e.g. custom frequencies with apps like No-Frills CPU Control, Set-CPU, Antutu, etc...)
- You have undervolted too low
- You have overclocked too high
- You have applied higher "Core OC" value in Trickster Mod App
- You are running any other kernel tweaks which are regarding to the CPU and/or performance (e.g. Kernel modules by Whirleyes eventually set by init.d, etc..)
- After setting some settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod) your device doesn't boot anymore
- adb doesn't work / shows only "device offline"
- You are facing hard lagging
If any point here matches your setting, please revert from it:
- Remove any CPU init.d script from /System/etc/init.d
- Uninstall any CPU controling app (e.g. Set-CPU, No-Frills, etc..)
- Remove all extra kernel modules from system/lib/modules (e.g. cpu_control.ko, cpufreq_smartass2.ko, etc..)
- Unset any custom settings from any other kernel / CPU - tweaking app which is NOT Trickster Mod
- Maybe your governor causes issues. Hotplug is know for bugs at the moment...I'm going to fix it..
- NEVER set your CPU Settings (e.g. in Trickster Mod App) on boot!!!! - before you aren't sure that your settings are safe!!!
- You may flash the kernel again after reverting related settings
- to make adb work / show device online, download latest SDK platform-tools and confirm access on device (4.2 security feature of Android)
- Don't use any task killers, memory killers, seeder apps! They may conflict with the kernel/Rom settings.
If none of these suggestions work for you your rom may be incompatible. Please report it here that I can add the rom to the list of imcompatible roms
If you have any issue, please read this:
First check:
- is it really a kernel issue?
- did I see this bug with the roms original kernel?
- what are the people in the rom thread saying?
- what are the people in the kernel thread saying?
- can I find this issue on a bug list?
- how about my settings? Is it my fault it crashed?
- can I find something useful in the kernel FAQ?
- Is it maybe a well known issue and can be solved
withing seconds? Just like wifical.sh?
- Where to repeat that issue? Rom or kernel?
I know it's sometimes difficult to track the issues, and we can't know for sure if it's caused by the rom or by the kernel, but if you try at least to get some information you might find an answer sometimes. If you are able to understand logs, you may report whatever you find.
All this helps to keep the threads more clear. Thank you.

May the -Mass times Acceleration-be with You...

I need the internal storage mount points from someone with stock kernel, please. I saw something about mmcblk0 - int ? Please anyone check the /mnt partitions and tell where the internal and external sdcards are mounted. thx
Edit: nevermind, I didn't know this device doesn't include an internal storage. Now I need to know if USB mount works on Devesh's Rom ports.

Used Stock ICS Based ROM on System 1 with BMM , and Mobile Terminal .
hope its ok .

Wow !
I see some awesomeness coming to our A2s *Respect*

All is set up. Everything works, so I will now build the first test kernel for you guys.

First test kernel in NIGHTLIES folder. Please test and report. Keep in mind that you have to be on one of Devesh's Rom Ports!
Edit: Sorry, forgot something! Please wait 5 mins...
Edit: Done!

Sorry for asking dummy question. Can i flash it on the JB leak because we still need JB leak for installing kexec room right? So if I want to try what possibly would happen?

You cannot. It needs a kexec Rom. So flash it first

So with the current version there is a bug with OC ? ( i don't see TEST2 for Atrix like with the Razr version).

Yes, device starts lagging when OC too high (over oc value of ~107). But new release comes with fixes - OC up to 1,5ghz possible without any problems (Mine crashes when OC higher than 1,498mhz, each silicon is different).
I think I will push it as a release (not NIGHLTY) - only thing left to be fixed is the random black screen while booting. But that's not that important as long as the kernel works well when booted successful.
Edit. done!

Great can't wait to boot 1498mz!

Not boot, just set it after boot - and if you're sure you have it running stable, set the "Apply on boot" function in Trickster Mod with a delay of ~90 sec - just to be safe!

FAQs
Well lets begin, almost all features can be controlled using the TricksterMOD
How to access recovery?
Keep pressing volume down button when you see Thunderzap logo
Now special things about this!-
1. You can also use camera key to boot into recovery! hell yeah! BUT remember, NOT to use it for your first recovery boot. Make first recovery boot only using vol down key! Remember this. If you do so, phone will stuck up on ThunderZap logo and your key combo will get swapped and remapped to Volume up and you would need to use Vol up to boot into recovery until the next kernel flash.
2. You can also reboot to recovery from your Android OS directly! Yes I have done it! But same criteria as above! not to use that way for first boot. After you are done with first recovery boot you can use camera key, terminal way anytime!!
So how to use the terminal way?
Open terminal emulator[NOT adb shell]
Gain su permissions and type
Code:
start-cwm
And within a minute you will be in CWM!
How to determine which TCP congestion to use??

See above chart and decide which to use! But westwood has been set as default!
Some of them from above chart won't be present, so watch only those which are present in feature list.
Q. How to use vibration intensity control?
echo "your-value" > /sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/level
Values range is 12-31. None other
Q. How to use ThunderSonic Engine?
It is a sound control driver. There are two interfaces which you can control
1. Headphone boost - I made this feature because louder volume than max volume in earphones rushes more adrenaline in me making music more enjoyable.
Turning this On will give you instant significant volume boost in earphones which is greater than what you get when the volume is max. Just make the volume maximum and turn this ON and you will notice it
How to turn on:
In terminal emulator/ adb shell, get su permissions and then type
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/thundersonic_engine/headphone_boost
and use 0 to turn off
2. Speaker boost - In crowded areas I felt speakers of XL fall short in terms of volume magnitude. So I made this to increase speaker volume speakers beyond its limit and now my phone sounds even louder than those dirt cheap china phones
This is 8-leveled boost interface. That means there are 8 boost levels. The default is 3 on TZ
How to turn on
Code:
echo X > /sys/kernel/thundersonic_engine/speaker_boost
where X can be any value from 4 to 8 depending upon the volume boost you require To reset back to default use value 3
Use above features with caution. Using headphone boost for a long time may damage your ears. And do not use speaker boost for a long time. If for some songs you hear crackling of speakers then reset its boost level to 3 or a relatively lower level of 4 or 5
Q. How to use charger control?
1. AC current control: In times of hurry I felt the charging times to be too long and so I made this. With this you can control the charging current rate through wall charger.
Before doing anything you first need to enable the master switch of the control or else the values you write will be negelected
How to enable master switch
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/charger_control/enabled
After this you can use custom current values like this
Code:
echo X > /sys/kernel/charger_control/custom_ac_current
where X can be any value in mA (Milliamperes) I use 1600 i.e 1600mA which completes my phone's charging from 3% to 100% in around 1 hour 30 mins.
The stock current ranges from 1000-1100mA and takes around 2 hour 30 mins to 3 hours. Avoid using values higher than 2200.
2. USB current control: Everyone knows the charging rate from PC via USB is damn slow. Many new PC's have newer USB ports which can offer current rates higher than 1500mA but still our kernel only pulls 500mA. I made this to control it yourself
As usual you need master switch enabled to write the new values.
How to use
Code:
echo X > /sys/kernel/charger_control/custom_usb_current
where X can be any value in Milliamperes. I use 1500 i.e 1500mA
Q. How to use GPU Voltage Control?
Currently there are no GPU voltage controlling apps. The upcoming ThunderZap control app supports that.
Obtain current voltage values
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_mv_table
Output will be something like this:
945 mV
1050 mV
1150 mV
Change these values:
Code:
echo "930 1000 1100" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_mv_table
This will change the voltages as below
930 mV
1000 mV
1150 mV
Q. I am having abnormal battery drain
Most of the time the kernel isn't responsible for this.
a) Make sure you are on stock frequency of 1Ghz. Sometimes the frequency is getting overridden to 1.5Ghz even if you didn't set that. To avoid such situations use frequency lock option from Trickstermod kernel app.
b) The kernel is not pre-undervolted any more. You can undervolt it on your own. Optimum value is 75mV. Don't undervolt more than that
Q. How to use extra modules provided
Best way is to use init.d script to load them on boot.
e.g If you want to use the NTFS file system module. You have to first place the ntfs.ko module provided in /system/lib/modules. Then you need to create an init.d script in /system/etc/init.d with any name say 99modules with following code
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/ntfs.ko
Next you need to give that file all permissions and reboot the phone and you are done!
P.S: Loading external modules affects battery life of the phone.

Good work.
All the best.

Good job man.
Best of luck! :highfive:

Post #3 updated with all controlling stuff!
Enjoy!

I've some concerns :-
1) As you can see from screenshot, default boot frequency of cpu0 is 1188 MHz while of cpu1 jumps to 1566MHz on load.
This is one of few reasons I disabled overclock in my kernel. One should enable intelliplug and disable mp decision to fix this.
Code:
su
stop mpdecison
2) Eco-Mode? Isn't it for quad core devices? Turning it off disables two cores. And we've only two.
3) Intelliplug works well.
4) Your voltage table is wrong. 1242MHz runs at lower voltage than 1188MHz. It's also irregular.
for example all 384,432,486 MHz run at same voltages.
5) Your ramdisk.cpio contains another ramdisk.cpio + pack script. Remove these junks.
6) xz -e offers best compression ratio but it's way slower than lzop (which in turn has poorest compression ratio).
So, xz compressed kernel is light weight but takes longer time ( usually 3-4 seconds more to decompress fully) than lzop compressed one.
You can see benchmark comparsion of gzip,xz,lzma etc here
In all xz compressed kernel doesn't boot fast in any way.
That's it for now

1. True (I will be releasing a 1.2Ghz version of kernel tomorrow who are not that much concerned with gaming)
2. This is true as well. But this works with dual core too according to my last 20 days testing and I have noticed gradual improvement in battery backup. I will contact faux123 to reconfirm my observations.
4. Thanks! Didn't observe that. Will fix it with tomorrow's minor update

Quick fix for the issue 1 of cpu1 getting maxed out!
Do this- Change freq to any other step and put it back to original. Now try doing a heavy task and see where cpu1 is getting capped at!
Just try it out

I already have done that and I saw the maxing out of cpu1 myself right after you posted even though I have intelli_plug on
The trick I mentioned fixed that
Sent from my Sony Xperia L (C2104) using Tapatalk 4 beta

May I ask for a simple explanation concerning intelli_plug?
So it is a hotplug alternative, that means it switches unused cpu-cores off. Which results in same speed and half battery - consumption in cost of stability if cpu is in heavy use? And Eco-mode keeps the second core switched off permanently, or nearly?
If I am getting this correctly, then we transform our device into a single-core phone (which would be good itself, we can easier the cpus use with greenify to reduce background processes, right?).
My questions are:
Can that harm the processor (if we dont overclock?) and
if we do not use Eco-mode, will we have the single-core-effect and lagfree games?

No, let me try.
Hotplugging means plugging out second core when not needed and plugging it in back when phone is doing some heavy work.
Consider few situations.
1. You are using a mere app like Instagram. In this case there is no need of second core and only first core can process the app smoothly. Here the second is asked to go offline and only first core runs.
2. Now you open NFSMW which is a heavy game. Now the phone understands that there is situation of heavy load, so it plugs in second core that is asks it go online and start sharing the workload from first core.
So this mechanism was managed by mpdecision named service previously. Intelli_plug is alternative mechanism to it. It is more efficient than mpdecision. That is improved algorithms of detecting whether second CPU is really needed or no. It determines that very intelligently and performs a very quick action providing much smoother User experience.
Now ECO-Mode , it just makes intelli_plug a bit lazy. It avoids plugging in second core for many situations and forces first core to do all work as far as I observed. It does plug in second core when phone is in very need of it. This saves a lot of battery.
And no, these features do not cause any harm to hardware because mpdecision does same thing but inefficiently.
I hope everything is clear here.

So this mechanism was managed by mpdecision named service previously. Intelli_plug is alternative mechanism to it. It is more efficient than mpdecision. That is improved algorithms of detecting whether second CPU is really needed or no. It determines that very intelligently and performs a very quick action providing much smoother User experience.
Now ECO-Mode , it just makes intelli_plug a bit lazy. It avoids plugging in second core for many situations and forces first core to do all work as far as I observed. It does plug in second core when phone is in very need of it. This saves a lot of battery.
And no, these features do not cause any harm to hardware because mpdecision does same thing but inefficiently.
I hope everything is clear here.

one question
Can i turn off both intelli-lug and mpdecision at same time ? and i cant see any setting for intelli-plug in trickstermode i mean how can i turn it off , only MPdecision setting is der
Thanks

Don't turn both of them off, you will face heavy battery drain. Turn off mpdecision and turn on intelli_plug
And switch for intelli_plug is there in trickstermod in special tab.

linear configuration (for linear kernel):
You can change many parameters with this configuration file located in /etc/linear.conf without using 3rd party applications.
Use a file manager with root permissions, making sure you have permission to read/write and the latest version of busybox.
note - applications such as trickster there may be conflicts... Use script or app, otherwise any post reporting issue will be ignored. This kernel has mpdecision stock, a touch of boost frequency 1267 mhz, this frequency will be displayed as a minimum in applications such as trickster mod. Minimum frequency is 300 mhz.
If you want to use faux sound app download this zip no_sound.zip to remove sound script in 99linear and to avoid conflicts.
After edit linear.conf to apply changes there're 3 methods available:
1 - reboot device
2 - install a file manager with run script feature as root browser, go to directory /etc/init.d and open (as a script) 99linear.
3 - android terminal emulator and type these commands:
Code:
su
./etc/init.d/99linear
to verify configuration options open log file in /data/local/tmp/linear.log
options:
cpu governor
i/o scheduler
readahead buffer size
tcp congestion
vibration
sweep2wake sweep2sleep - 0 to disable sweep2wake / 1 to enable sweep2wake and sweep2sleep / 2 to enable sweep2sleep only
doubletap2wake - 0 to disable doubletap2wake / 1 to enable doubletap2wake bottom / 2 to enabled doubletap2wake fullscreen
power key toggles s2w/dt2w - 1 to disable s2w and dt2w with the power button turning the screen off
s2w/dt2w timeout - enter number of minutes to automatically disable doubletap2wake and sweep2wake
fastcharge - 0 off / 1 on
gpu governor - ondemand/simple/performance
gpu max freq
color profile - 44 profiles
backlight dimmer - 0 off / 1 on - minimum brightness lower than stock
sound profile - 5 profiles

for dark interface what you mean??
the kernel is a faster version of stock and supports multirom

Adding to Crostantin's response, this ROM does not have a dark interface like TRDS (I assume that's what you mean). You can try any AOSP (not CAF) kernel, though the default kernel is well worth a try for the speed.

Help & FAQ
THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks
BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:
Code:
1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
NO FAST CHARGE
If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
I will not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Three choices:
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT
OR
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue
Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video (thanks @aldoblaga )
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
Code:
lsmod

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION
The Samsung Exynos 7420 Deep Dive - Inside A Modern 14nm SoC (by ANANDTECH - Andrei)
F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore
http://bgr.com/2015/03/17/galaxy-s6-storage-benchmarks/
STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Battery
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled​
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim​
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61579949&postcount=202
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.

Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS
* Thanks to @AtLmd Post
Lock screen MUST be enabled (simple screen lock swipe) I don't know why but it breaks the chromecast app's ability to resume smoothly if switched off
Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST
.

Great work!
It feels so much smoother and faster and is using less power.

@UpInTheAir
No rush but at some point, would you mind adding a .tar.md5 odin flashable version as well?
I can create one for you if it would help you out. :good:

I have recently modified my build scripts to auto create both .tar.md5 and .zip flashable archives. I choose to release just the .zip because I have it wipe the cache and also gives the user the chance to backup original kernel before flash.

Ok, no problem.
We'll keep you updated on how its running for us.
The users don't have too many choices for roms here since mine are the only ones released so far for our Note 5 variant (other than stock) so it shouldn't be too difficult to test.

Did u forget c is coming. Wont derail this project.

I started one for another device a year back, but returned to XDA after many "dev" kang my work without permission and/or credit. Many still do. ...
So I just don't have the time for it, one or the other.

Kernel is running good so far

So far kernel is running great on Moar 1.3 rom. Just have default settings applied with Synapse. Any specific settings I should adjust for better performance or battery? Not too smart when it comes to adjusting the settings on kernels lol

Is this kernel fixes bad memory ram management ?

Been running this this kernel since yesterday and I'm pretty happy with the performance so far!
Quick question with Synapse, as I haven't used it before. When I clear data, and then flash the 2.5 update, do I need to go back in and re-tweak the kernel settings?

Q/A
Q/A:
How to bypass wakelock?
- Open file /etc/init.d/81SEMAR_WAKELOCK using explorer which support root. Change value after "echo" to $DISABLE (to disable/bypass wakelock), $ENABLE (to enable wakelock)
What is musiqmod? and how to enable it?
- Musiqmod is a additional feature to DT2W to control music player only when jack input connected. Just enable DT2W and insert your headphone, double tap about 1/3 of screen from top. You will get play/pause, next, and prev control.
What is Pocket Detection?
- Pocket Detection is used for preventing device wakeup when wake control enabled. So if you put your phone in your pocket, you don't have to worry your device will wakeup accidently.

Great! I'll try it on Nougat roms

Works very nicely! One thing that I miss is tripndroid i/o scheduler. I hope you can add it in next release

@Mr. AW I Already installed on stock Lollipop S061. No bootloop
Bugs:
WLAN stop worked.

About Release 3
@Mr.AW ...i want to ask a thing about release 3
is it necessary to update it in your mm rom or it is only for nougat roms because im using candy six with release2
Is release 3 is also for candysix mm rom ... should i update it or not..???

Well done @Mr.Aw Finally i can get a leave... merge in https://github.com/dev-harsh1998/kernel_wt86518 for fully fledged nougat support and Latest Prima

I hope to fix WLAN on stock lollipop

hello Mr AW,
my device is lenovo A6000 with 1giga of ram , and i'm using nexus experience marshmallow custom rom on my device , after flashing "SEMAR KERNEL" (Release 3) , i got some issues ,
1- sound control , after setting my value and close kernel adiutor, if i get run kernel adiutor again i got the sound control value that i set it before got changed , and also screen control , after changed the value from custom screen to stock screen and get run kernel adiutor again also i got it changed back to custom screen .
2- and there's some another parameters also get changed with it self such as "maxmum cores to allowed , vdd restriction.
3-the most important thing, every day at morning and when i turn on the wifi or 4g data for a first time the device should hanging and freezing for a minute until i got my notifications from whats app or my gmail. and fyi , i didn't have a lot of applications installed on my phone, it's only face book ,whats app , gmail , beside bullit in applications and i don't have any games.
thank you & good luck

Just flashed into Mokee 7.1.1, hotspot working. Battery does very good till now.
Issue :
- i can't turning on Sweep2Wake, it always " disbale " after i close KernelAdiutor. Any suggest?
Btw, Thanks @Mr. AW

No matter what ROM I try i face this issue. I don't face this issue on more powerful phones. I guess we've got to live with it.

Can you guys share your kernel auditor setting with this kernel..

My Setting :
- CPU : MAX 1.2Ghz - MIN 400Mhz or 533Mhz
* Governors =
1. Smartmax
2. Alucard
Freq Responsiveness = 988400
- HotPlug (choose one) :
* MSM (Smoothness)
Min Cpu Online = 2
Cpu Boosted = 1
Update Rate = 10
Fast Lane Load = 120
* Bricked HotPlug > [ Prefer to this if u facing Lags ]
Min Cpu Online = 1-2
Idle Frequencies = 533Mhz
- Runque Threshold per CPU
For "hotplugged" raise 10-15%
For "unplugged" raise 10-30% (Acumulative)
- Time Threshold per CPU
For "unplugged" raise 10-20ms
* Mako or Alucard (Battery)
- Thermal
* IntelliThermal : on
* Frequency Throttle Temp : 80-90 degree
(More you increase it, more time the CpuCores not going to shutingdown because of Heating)
- GPU : MIN 100Mhz - MAX 400Mhz
- Wake Controls : up to you
- FastCharge : ON
- I/O Scheduller : Noop 512Kb
- Virtual Memory :
Dirty Expire Centisecs : 200
Dirty Writeback Centisecs : 3000
Swapiness = 70
VFS Cache Pressure = 80
- TCP Congestion Algorithm = westwood
# i dont use IntelliPlug in Semar Kernel, because all the cores are always on and draining battery. When compared to PhantomReborn IntelliPlug, it has better optimization (its like @dev_harsh1998 tunning it, am i right??). The same IntelliPlug profile " Conservative " with different cpu runque and different BatteryBackup.
# Combining Gov and HP for the best result
- Alucard + MSM (Balanced)
- Smartmax + MSM (Balanced Perfomance)
- Bioshock + Bricked (Perfomance)

A request dev:
Please make fastcharge enabled on the kernel by default

amazing kernel.. screen flicking happens little times with your kernel and battery work very good
thank you bro <3

I saw your source, you use prima driver 3.8.20.23. Actually it's same like semar used. I use cm-13.0-amss-1.0.2 branch from flour_mo's source.
