Requesting a kernel tutorial thread! - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Just as the name implies, I was curious if any of you kernel wizards could maybe start a thread or even here just share some settings you guys use. I've changed several ROMs and currently using squids kernel but I've never been comfortable messing with the values other then headphone gain. I've usually just flashed preconfigured kernels and left it as is. From what I'm seeing certain changes achieve things like performance gain, battery save etc.. I'd love some thoughts!

[Q] skip music track via long volume press for non cm7 miui roms

i would love to learn how to incorporate this functionality into a rom (i'm an owner of a htc phone and primarily use sense roms). from what i've read, it's only a matter of adding a couple of files (phonewindowmanager$12.smali and phonewindowmanager$13.smali) and modifying phonewindowmanager.smali. if done right, this functionality can be added to any rom.
i've been comparing the cm7 smali file to a sense smali file to see what the differences are in terms of code but it just makes my eyes go wonky since i know nothing about reading/writing code.
until yesterday, i had no idea how to extract classes.dex from android.policy.jar nor was i aware of any of the information mentioned above. in other words, i'm a noob at this. i would like to learn how to do this and by the looks of it, many others on the forum are interested as well.
is there a dev out there that would like to share his/her knowledge/wisdom/experience on this with the rest of the xda community? i realize this is a lot to ask but i thought i'd try. thanks in advance.
I'd also be interested in this, for phones where Cm7 isn't available
Me too. Am going to put this thread as my signature until some kind soul comes up with an tutorial. Or at least a rhetoric answer.
By the way, the only guy that i know is, Andy Thompson, who's always update his mod/hack for MIUI roms
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/mod-skip-track-via-volume-press.7356/
and also CosmicDan

Must have skill/mod/hack or even app for music lover and flashaholic.

[Q][Kernel][VDD] Kernel Git that *includes* a /sys vdd_levels interface?

I've been trying to either find or if I have to develop a tf101 kernel that has a standardized /sys/.. vdd_levels interface for changing under/overvolting and also for seeing what it is set to easily.
Of the ~4 tf101 kernel developers I can find, it appears that only Blades has touched on it, but maybe not uploaded those changes to his github. I would be pretty happy to just use anyone's git as a starting point but also glad to use standard source as a starting point and add the vdd_levels to it.
To do that I'd either need a little help, or a glance at where the missing pieces that I still haven't coded go. I figure that if there are 4 known developers that there must be 10 more that are more like me and don't want to maintain or publish any binaries.
I'd be happy to keep up a github that is in working order with all the voltage + kernel code but have no interest in maintaining the kernel itself. (hey, I've seen those threads.. )
The reason I don't just go over to say, the htc incredible section and use one of the many kernels that do this and are in github already, is because this is specific to board types and that's a piece I don't know enough about yet to transfer even if I'm staring at it. I'd need to see or hear about how to do that piece.
Anyone that can help, thanks much in advance,
Mick

Build.Prop Tweak List

Hi, I was wondering if there was a list of HTC One S (Ville) Build.Prop tweaks. I did some searching and saw some lists in other forums, but I wasn't sure if the build.prop was the same for all devices, I guess I'm assuming not as some organizations are totalitarian and such.
In any case, I think we should create a list of build.prop tweaks specifically for the One S that are very effective, saying what the tweak changes and how it effects the device, also what other settings you can give it and what those effects do. Maybe I'm thinking of to much information, but I think a lot of people would be interested in the other information as well.
Maybe I just don't know enough about the build.prop file yet, but if someone could give me any links about more information on it that would be great. Or if anyone has a link to a list already like this that would be great as well. Sorry if I'm being a noob, but I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found anything yet.
Thanks in advanced for any posts,
Cobra
It doesn't matter which phone, android is android.
But everyone uses other build.prop edit's, there are no original one's..
Thanks for that information.
So if there aren't any original ones, are there possibly ones that work well specifically for the One S? I know the Fast.Dormancy one is supposed to be effective for some carriers. And though, this may be a setting that could be effective for many devices, does it not make sense to maybe start a thread or some sort of page listing all the settings that effect this device in particular in certain ways and which carriers they work effectively on?
I ask these questions because, yes I am a newb and I feel like these things could be helpful to other noobs. it's almost as if I'm trying to learn some sort of ITIL based thing I guess. I guess to me it just seems effective to have a list of things that can help make your device work more effectively. For instance, have one page, say the wiki, linking to different things to help you setup your phone how you want it, and to make it so it will work as effectively as you want it for yourself.
Now I realize that the Wiki currently has things such as how to unlock, root, flash roms, lists of roms, etc. But, it doesn't really say, "Hey, here are a list of things you can do to make your phone more efficient without having to flash a new ROM, and here are ways you can make your own ROM, here are some paths to certain things specific to this phone.
I know the Wiki is new, but I guess what I'm saying is if nobody else is working on this stuff, can someone give me a hand in finding all this information so I can start adding it to the Wiki?

Best Kernel and settings

Hello everyone!
I'm making this thread because I want to know (and others too) what the best kernel settings are for our osprey.
So please share your kernel setup with us
I mainly prefer battery backup and cooler temperatures.
thanks!

Kernel Tweaking Settings (Synapse,3c,Toolkit)

I was hoping to get some feedback on what settings people are using either with Synapse-skyhigh kernel or Kernel Toolkit-Sickness kernel (or 3c,kernel adiutor,etc) and what the goal is of your settings (battery,performance,guessing) and which rom you are using. Like:
Rom/Kernel-
Kernel App-
List of anything changed from default-
Governer-
Battery-
Etc-
Reason for settings- (performance, battery, mixture, etc)
Actual result of settings- (terrible, good battery, bad battery/good performance, etc.
Each time I use either Skyhigh or Sickness I find myself going through synapse or 3c and chicken out on changing anything important looking as I have no idea what repercussions are. I was looking in general forum threads for each but am hoping for a more specific to our device kind of feedback.
I really hope there are several responses with various types of setups as it would GREATLY be appreciated as Im aware the time to respond a setting list is not generally looked forward to but Im also aware any thread I start gets a few replies at the most so to the few or hopefully wide audience I thank you ahead of time. To those that laugh at my no reply result know that I am too. :laugh:
