What is msm_thermal?
Kernel based 3-phase thermal control!
This replaces your /system/bin/thermald binary which is renamed by the installer to thermald_bck.
It will throttle your cpu speed to keep it cool and unleash it if the cpu has cooled down enough. (3 phases: low, mid and high)
Check /sys/kernel/msm_thermal/conf/ for the thermal configuration
allowed_max_high = highest threshold (phase 3)
allowed_max_low = remove the throttling if we cooled down to this (clr_thrshold)
allowed_max_freq = max frequency if throttled (limit)
[...]mid[...] = same as above, just for phase 2
[...]low[...] = Lowest threshold (phase 1)
check_interval_ms = how often shall we check? (sampling rate)
Default: 100ms (=0.1sec)
shutdown_temp = if we reach this shut down the device!
Default: 80°C
If you want to see msm_thermal doing it's job:
Code:
adb shell
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'thermal'
What is msm_mpdecision?
100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is renamed by the installer to mpdecision_bck.
Check /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (20000)
delay = time between checks (70)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000ms (10 secs)
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1. Additionally: Unplug all cpus except cpu0 when screen is turned off (1)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
min_cpus = min cpus to be online, cannot be < 1. Default: 1
max_cpus = max cpus to be online, cannot be > 2. (if you set it to 1 and min_cpus to 1 you will basically have a singlecore) Default: 2
idle_freq = a value against that will be checked if a core +/- is requested. (486000)
If cpu0 is below that value and a core up of another cpu is requested, nothing will happen.
If any other cpu is above that value and a core down of that cpu is requested, nothing will happen. (otherwise it would now put down that cpu even though it is still working, which isn't what we want)
Hot plug thresholds (aka now it gets 'complicated')
This small formula calculates which value will be used: (number_of_cpus_online - 1) * 2
The result of this formula will be the nwns_threshold where a new cpu is hotplugged.
The result of this formula + 1 will be the nwns_threshold where a cpu is unplugged.
nwns_threshold_x = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpuX will be hot/unplugged
twts_threshold_x = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed for the related action to be taken (hot/unplug)
Example:
One cpu is online.
(1 - 1) * 2 = 0 ergo:
nwns_threshold_0 = cpu1 will be hotplugged at this value
((1 - 1) * 2) + 1 = 1
nwns_threshold_1 = cpu0 will be unplugged at this value
Since we can't unplug cpu0 this is '0'.
Two cpus are online.
(2 - 1) * 2 = 2 ergo:
nwns_threshold_2 = cpu2 will be hotplugged at this value (The 1S doesn't have a cpu2, so that is irrelevant)
((2 - 1) * 2) + 1 = 3
nwns_threshold_3 = cpu1 will be unplugged at this value
etc...
Where the position and function of the number equals the result of the above explained formula.
(all times are in ms)
If you want to see the mpdecision magic happening:
Code:
adb shell
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'MPDEC'
mpdecision's input event boost, aka project butter
This will boost your min cpu speed if you touch the screen or press a button and gives you full control.
In those events the min cpu freq will be risen to a predefined value (look below) on every online cpu. This boosts overall reaction times and smoothness a lot.
Configuration files:
[email protected]:/sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf # ls
boost_enabled
boost_freqs
boost_time
All of them work like the usual sysfs files, except one special case:
boost_freqs will list all frequencies from cpu 0 to cpu x. Cpu 3 and any following cpu will share one frequency.
To change those frequencies echo the cpu number + the frequency in khz. To change the boost freq of cpu3 (and 4,5,6,7,8, etc) the echo would look as follows:
Code:
echo "3 1026000" > /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
for cpu0:
Code:
echo "0 1026000" > /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
Defaults:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
918000
918000
702000
594000
How does sweep2wake work? Does it keep my phone awake?
Short answer: No.
Long answer:
Sweep2wake works with IRQs (Interrupts).
An interrupt can be best imagined as you doing something, like shopping at the local super market, when someone jumps in front of you and punches you into your family jewels. You will most certainly not just continue shopping.
In technical terms: An Interrupt interrupts the normal operation of a program and executes "special" code instead.
So if you touch your screen, an interrupt is send on which the touch driver reacts. That's it.
Since we have a capacitive touchscreen you also do not need to worry about any pressure onto the screen.
If you want to disable sweep2wake execute this command on your phone (adb shell or directly), you can also add it to an init.d script.
Code:
echo "0" > /sys/android_key/sweep2wake
(echoing "1" activates it, which is the default setting if chosen in aroma)​Recommended governor?

Ville-Z Kernel. BLACKOUT Edition ​
I am here to present the Ville-Z modded kernel source from HTC. I used KLIN1344's base commit (that means before he touched it) With his permission this way it is compatible with your sense 4.1 based roms.
You can find the source here http://github.com/zarboz/Ville-Z.git . If you fix something or feel you improve on my hack please make a pull request.
Here are a few features of the kernel.
​
New I/O schedulers : CFQ, NOOP, Deadline, SIO, VR
New Governors: BrazillianWax, Intellidemand, SavagedZen, InteractiveX, Smartass, SmartassV2, Lagfree, Interactive, Conservative, Userspace, Powersave, Lionheart, Ondemand, Performance,
GPU Overclock 400mhz/500mhz (selectable in installer)
Selectable min freq in installer
Multiple tweaks and modifications to the multitasking and file structuring
Selectable Max Clock: 1.5ghz. 1.7ghz, 1.89ghz, 2.1ghz (it gets kinda warm and high voltages)
Adjustable undervolt in system 800mah-1350mah
S-On Kernel installer THANKS HausX!

Nice work. Good to see more devs here now.
Also, I think maybe we could work on getting a cm/aosp version of this kernel? I compiled a kernel using the 2.31 base a while ago with the cm ramdisk and it booted up fine, only WiFi was broken. The cm kernel still uses the 1.84 base old kernel sources.

That's next after i get sweep2wake mapped out properly
its about 50-60% implimented. I need to figure out the LED control for our new PM8XXX LED and figure out the screen mapping coordinates so that the "sweep" is read from the right spot and also have one more file to implement in the cypress touchscreen driver as well
that's all in the works
the AOSP kernel is coming in the next week or 2 will have the same feature list and should work on ICS and JB AOSP roms

I will look into their source and put my mods in i see from the LTE forums the KGSL driver folder has been updated so I think it shall work just fine
I wanted to get Sweep2Wake working before then but the individual helping me lives in sweden so it's hard to talk to the guy at a decent hour here in colorado
I would say one to two weeks

Really nice to see someone new on these forums
I really hope you stay here and keep working on your Kernel.

How to install this kernel? Over fastboot or with TWRP + dumlock?

Because you're taking requests, here's mine : I hope you can fix soft buttons not to register swipe when moving finger from the screen. IMO soft buttons are too close to the screen and in some apps like games and file managers when you scroll all the way down you can press home or back button by accident which will kick you out of the app. Very annoying. Soft buttons should register the touch only if your finger was not on the screen previously.

I was just about to install this and I noticed that it says it is for HTC Evo LTE in the aroma installer!
Is this right?? Or, did I download the wrong file?
Also, the on-screen softbuttons do not register touches.
Thanks!

Till OP fix this, just use the Volume+/- to navigate thru the Menu

I've jus flash this kernel over fusión rom and stay in 192 and don't switch to 384 like fusión. Drains less battery too.

How to install this kernel?

I could not flash the kernel using the aroma zip installer.
I think xhausx exploit do not work!

Just a suggestion. Wouldn't it be better if you labeled it for Android 4.0.4 instead of Sense 4.1? I, for one, got confused at first and thought you were talking about Jelly Bean (4.1) and hence I edited my first post here.

a description about flashing this kernel with a locked hboot (>xxx.12) would be nice. Should this work with Android 4.0.3?

how to flash this kernel??

The 2 cores works all the time with this kernel, why?

Guys...to flash a kernel flash the zip in TWRP then fastboot it.

FAQ
Governors on schedulers??:
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
What is SmartReflex and what is with this kernel?
SR is OMAP driver that performs continuous dynamic voltage scaling around the nominal operating point voltage according to silicon characteristics and operating conditions.
SR is ON for all freq except 1300. It undervolts to much so device cant be stable on 1300.
So what with userspace voltage control?
For other calibrated freqs you can set lower voltage and SR will recalibrate based on new voltage that you entered. If it can anyway.
If you dissable manualy SR then you can set exact voltages by yourself for all OPPs.
You can dissable it like this:
For CORE:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_core/autocomp
For GPU:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_iva/autocomp
For MPU:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/smartreflex/sr_mpu/autocomp
Or use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
How to set off screen freq?
echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/screen_off_max_freq
600000 is 600Mhz
Or use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
What is fsync control?
fsync syscalls are used by kernel modules and user space programs to flush an I/O buffer (which is in RAM) to disk to make sure that this data is actually savely stored on the disk before executing the next step. Disabling fsync can result in data loss on a crash/freeze since the data is still in the I/O buffer and has not been saved to disk as it should be and can also lead to problems due to race conditions if two or more processes access the same file. On the other hand disabling fsync reduces the number of I/O operations which potentially could reduce the battery drain and also improve I/O performance. (by Ezeekel)
So if you dissable fsync you will get great IO boost
How to dissable/enable fsync:
/sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
enable = 1, disable = 0
Or use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
How to see on what freq GPU runs now?
adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_clock
How to enable fastcharge?
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
0 dissabled
1 enabled
Or use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
If anything hapen to your device using these files it is not my problem.
Use at your own risk.

I didn't OC GPU becouse I dont see any speed up in that. I think bus is to slow to deal with that large amount's of data.

Battery life is amazing, only 2% for 3 hours, no calls, just checking email few times on wifi (no mobile data, i don't have it) and little playing. Also phone seems smoother. Excellent work and it is still beta.

Great kernel! I was using Acura Destructor V2 and it was amazing but i try your kernel and Antutu gives to me 8590 points vs the 7835 of Acura...and on Acura i had some small crash!
I have a noob question! What i need to do in order to enable the script of zram? Sorry for noob question but i tried gscript and it doesn't work!

Use root explorer and modify /system/bin/swap_enable.sh
Like this:
#Initialize /dev/block/zram0 with 30MB disksize
echo $((72*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
#Activate
#RAM swap
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
/system/bin/swapon /dev/block/zram0
#eMMC swap
#busybox mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
#busybox swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
This will enable zram and disable emmc swap.

I have another small question...then your kernel is amazing...today morning with 15 minutes of gaming i lost only 3% of battery...the problem is that i have the governor powersave and in standby sometimes i lost 1% or 2% of battery! What kind of problem can be?

Just leave it on hotplug or interactive and lower voltages with setcpu or voltage control. Test to see what are lowest voltage setting that you can set. Kernel is set to screen off max to 600MHz.

Thanks! I will try your settings...i set all your voltages and the governor to interactive...i wish that the battery life now can have a boost! However great work with your kernel...it gives to the phone a relevant boost! I have some problems with heavy applications that sometimes are too slow when i try to pass from the app to the homescreen...but this is a problem of RAM i think!

Hi iodak .
How to change the screen off frequency ?? I can change it through apps like system tuner or any other . But are there any scripts can do that ?? .

[GUIDE][N10H/N910C]Guide: Download & Use Ultimate kernel for Galaxy Note4

Hello Everybody
i have account in 4pda but i cant pass the captcha for login process
so i cant download latest ultimate kernel for Galaxy Note 4
but @arbi97 came with solution :
solution from @arbi97 :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download it on my MEGA link: REMOVED
P.S I always update this link. Last versions always be here. Good luck​-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creators:
me and @arbi97 are not creators of this kernel we're just trying to help others to access and use it​
you can found creators of this amazing kernel and original thread in : REMOVED
p.s thanks @masaichris too for his help
Attention:
Flash delete_synapse_CWM.zip first if you have previous Ultimate kernel versions for minimizing problems
This kernel is for Samsung GALAXY Note 4 (N910C/N910H) with Lollipop only
Optimal Settings For Best Power consumption / Performance
-75mV all A57 and A53 Frequencies (From CPU VOLT tab in synapse)
-75mV all Gpu frequencies (From GPU tab in synapse)
Interactive governer for A57 cores & Gpu (from GOV tab in synapse)
Lionhearth governer for A53 cores (from GOV tab in synapse)
set MIN frequency of Both A53 & A57 clusters to 200 MHZ (From CPU FREQ tab in synapse)
set MIN frequency of GPU7 clusters to 100 MHZ (From GPU tab in synapse)
Because of lot's of wakelocks of samsung apps , it's highly recomended to use Greenify with ultimate kernel
you can set maximum number of online cores to 7 or 6 for extended battey life (Not Recommended)

Both are good as it depends on users need but ultimate v38 is banned On XDA because of GPL conflict But you may use it on your own risk as the Developer for Ultimate do not agree on sharing his source
BTW : Googy 1.3 is more stable in my personal opinion and uses Less complicated or usless tweaks :good:

tnx dude
i will inform other note 4 users
we're counting on you

Great. ...... Counting on how much time moderators will take to ban this thread. ?????

And for 4.4.4?

the development progress of this kernel is great cant ask for more on this kernel having an update evry week, i am one of your ultimate user of this kernel for now, by the way i want to save more on battery i am not that gaming type person, most i do is just browsing using FB app, taking pics, texting. . may i ask if anybody here has synapse settings for battery saving? i tried other kernel in terms of straight mobile data (H+) and stock kernel form 100% down to 10% it just only took 4hrs screen time. hope someone will share thanks

In my test ktoonservative governor is not battery friendly altough some cores sometimes stop. But it has very good performance. (Geekbench test = 4500)
I think cores restart consumes much battery than steady works

I was able to hit 1400/4990 in Geekbench with ktoonservative and some tweaks to it. It's fast but eats battery like crazy. Oh, the phone gets hotter as well.

after doing lot's of tests , i found those settings best
I hope they work for you as well

Stock Kernel Optimisation

Hello M2 users, y'all probably wondering what did I mean by the thread title above so I'll get straight to the point nice and simple.
Using a stock kernel sucks, any CPU Tuner will go bonkers adjusting frequencies only to see it revert to stock again. So, while browsing for ways to optimise performance and battery in the Xperia, I came across this guide (now updated to this) on our Interactive governor. While it's on a different phone, the explanations are clear enough to tell anyone that yes, this can be adapted so long as you are rooted.
So read the whole post to give yourself an idea on the functions available for you. I use Kernel Adiutor for this as it seems most reliable.
But first, go into your build.prop files and edit this code:
Code:
ro.min_freq_0=300000
Set the frequency to 300000 (300Mhz) and restart or your phone will always be stuck on a higher frequency.
Also in the Kernel Samepage Merging, turn it off. There isn't much of an impact between battery and performance so this function is useless.
So now head into the CPU section, towards Tunables and add the following values according to the screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[/img]
This gave me 50% battery usage over 26 hours, with 5 hours of Screen on Time used by chatting, gaming, and web surfing. Pretty good looking at all the times I've run the battery with less usage.
Anyhoo, I hope these settings are useful for y'all and if anyone has any modifications to these settings please do share it with your results. This may perhaps be the only guide where we control the governor on a deeper level rather than taking it as it is, so let's squeeze as much juice out of this phone as possible.
Update: These are the settings I've settled with, no negligible battery life and not much of an impact on performance. The voltage tables for the SD400 looks to be dynamic so you can't get an exact reading and anyone who looks at it will suggest you buy a new phone instead >.>

How do you add multiple values on one settings ?
I can't seem to be able to

Right now you can only add multiples for above_hispeed_delay and target_load. Just tap the space bar each time you add in new values and the app will auto-arrange it for you. If it still doesn't work, what kernel are you using?

Can you repost the photo or write the values please?

I spent last week trying to study and understand those govenors.
Since yesterday, I was trying and tunning the stock interactive govenor
I didnt notice any major changes in performance but I was surprised by power consumption
Ex: I used to play Solitaire everyday more than 2 times a day, each time I spend like 1 hour and my battery drops like 10%
After tunning the interactive govenor my battery drops like 4-6%
Which means its much better than stock
I'm using EagleExperience rom which come with stock kernel
Anyway I just want to know your tunnables because the photo you posted is not opening
I want to compare them with my numbers
Thank you for this post and sorry for bad english
It's not my first lang.

These are my current settings, the 300Mhz and 787Mhz share the same voltage and any higher frequency has the same voltage too so it's more efficient to use Sony's settings. The only difference in here is I used Intelliplug to better control how they ramp up.

Is that config fine ? I tried semil's config its battery performance was great but i think it is slow config.

I try not to limit my frequencies since the point is to go high performance only when needed. I'm not sure about your config since I never turn off hotplugs.

How To Guide Optimise Stock Kernel Scheduler & Governor Setting

So, after months of using Pixel 7 family, surely we all know that Tensor 2 is not exactly the best flagship SOC in term of raw power or energy usage, probably due to it's "Exynos Genetics Trait"
that being said, doesnt mean it's down bad. And with some optimisation, we can always try to make it run better. One of the example is by seeing how much better it run on custom kernel. But what about other stock kernel user ?
Well, fortunately, as long as we have root access, the stock kernel still allow us to play with some parameter. And here are some tunables parameters that i use to balance the energy usage and responsiveness of the device. (my aim is 10% battery for 1 Hour of SoT and ±0-1% decrease during 6-10hrs idle)
If you want to know more about each parameters, you can google a lot of linux kernel documentation (like here for example : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/177953)
but for now i'll just write down the change and my configurations. (I used EX Kernel Manager to change the parameters) :
CPU Section :
Switch governors for all CPU clusters from 'sched_pixel' to 'shedutil'
Open "Governor Options" and change the 'rate_limit_us' for all clusters from '10000' to '0'
Open "CPU scheduler options" and use bellow value for respected parameters :
sched_wakeup_granularity_ns : 10000000
sched_tunable_scaling : 1
sched_min_granulatity_ns : 2000000
sched_latency_ns : 12000000
Memory Section :
Disable "ZRAM"
That's it for now. Try and feedback if you find any improvement in your energy usage.
I've been using it for weeks, and pretty happy especially with idle drain. As for SoT, normally i end up with 5-6 Hrs screen time when i down to bed with ±30% battery remaining.

It's expected that it reverts back to default because it's controlled by multiple things. People shouldn't change the governor. There is a write-up on this in Freak's kernel thread.

Actually you can change the CPU governor from the default one to one of the additional existing alternatives.
The issue is just that the frequency scaling driver for the affected CPU cluster(s) will break if the PowerHAL detects that the Sched_Pixel governor isn't "there" anymore for doing the job that it is supposed to do.

You save CPU cycles at the expense of additional vRAM.

If you use smartpack kernel manager there's an option to apply all changes with a script on boot. That's the way I've always worked with kernels that won't allow changes to stick on boot
