hi
I clean flashed cromi-x 5.4 and ran the quadrant benchmark and get around 5000.
according to the screenprints of results here, I should be getting 7500ish.
can anyone explain or help?
the tf is unusably slow. at least 5 second lag before it responds to anything.
in twrp mod, it flies though. any ideas???

1. Go to the twrp and do a backup for your device
2. Go here and download the ET v1.13.9 with the suffix "ext4" http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf700/general/et-v1-13-8-cromi-x-t2843054
3. Install the zip in the twrp
4. Report back how it goes
If you don't like it, you can restore your backup to the previous setup...good luck...:fingers-crossed:
You are running Quadrant in performance mode, are you?
Did you choose to install with fsync off?
Try data2sd but that lag is not normal even with fsync on....
Tons of widgets on your home screens? Tell us more about your setup.
hi..
no widgets but for one (asus weather).
my microsd port is not working so i can't use data2sd.
i did a wipe and clean install of cromi-x 5.4 with the extreme tweaks bunds and selected to disable the fsync and my quadrant standard edition results are still "poor".
my concern is more WHY my devices frezzes and takes at least 5 seconds to even respond after i launch and app or even press the settings button despite a new rom and kernel.
doesn't that suggest something else is amiss?

That is really strange and unusual and certainly a PIA. But let's make sure we are on the same page:
Define what you mean by 'clean install'
Post your bootloader and recovery versions please.
yes has me baffled so am here for help
when I am in twrp, I press install and along the process i'm asked if I want to wipe which is the recommended option. I select this option.
is that the correct way?
side point/question, what does it mean if when going thru aroma installer, the TF flies but is unusable when running a rom, stock or otherwise?

So you never did a clean install
The option in the installer only wipes cache and Dalvik. You HAVE to wipe /data before installing a new rom.
Boot into TWRP.
Go to Wipe
Just swipe the button
That will wipe all your apps but not your personal files like pictures etc.
Then reflash the rom, select _that's kernel, select fsync off, select the two GPU options and everything else you desire.
Once the Aroma installer finished it's your choice if you want to try CROMi-X as is or flash LMK's tweaks right away.
Once you reboot, you will have to go through the setup process again, reinstall all your apps but I can almost gurantee: It will be worth it!
What is wrong with your microsd card slot? This could be causing other issues if the device thinks it has to keep polling for something that isn't there.
thanks!
wiped properly and just did the install.
let it settle for a while and quadrant score was 6600 so im happy with that. i ran it earlier and it varied from 3500 to 4500. is that odd?
the result is still less than the 7500+ though. ideas? i'll have to look up these LMK things you mentioned....im a newbie.
seems like the freezing has been solved such that the tablet is usable...fingers crossed it stays that way.

6600 is very respectable for the TF700 and it should feel quicker. 7500 is extreme - I doubt most users will get that - I never did on ET either

Haha, you never get up to 7500... My average on the latest ET is around 7800ish and pass 8000+ on the high end.. BTW, if you would like to try out the new ET, please give the .9 a run because I am be able to have an extra one hour comparing to the .8 without performance loss. The average battery life on my daily usage on .8 is about 4+ hours and the .9 is about 5+ hours. Please give some feedback if you try it, thanks..

Got 5800 Max with this one.
I'd like to try another cromi-x which has scores in the 9000s.
It needs bootloader version 10.
How do I get this? Newbie qn I know..

That score seems like you were running balance mode which is set 1.4GHz for CPU and 520MHz for GPU. My balance mode is around 6000+. You could try to run the quadrant in Performance mode and should be easy getting 7500+ on your current setup...
I don't think there is a 9000+ score for Cromi X unless you are running ART on Crombi kk. There are only two users running Cromi X with the score 8000+. One is lucius.zen who set the CPU with 1.9GHz and GPU with 700MHz on Hund's kernel. The second user is set the CPU with 1.8GHz and 700MHz with GPU on Hund's kernel... If you can get that 9000+ on Cromi X, then you are the first user who is achieved the best score out of this tf700 forum, good luck....:fingers-crossed:

Low brightness after install
Hello, I gave a question... When I installed a last Uber kernel L v4.10 from 9 December of 2014... I have a very low brightness... How can I fix it...
Also I cannot make OC more than 2.7 or 2.8 ... Phone doesn't boot... And how I can fix it...
Thank you for a answer
Hi,
is it advisable to disable filesystem trim in ubers cfg file while using f2fs?
Chet says, F2FS is auto-trimmed: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13cxltwwqjcsx3ta22pyx5reobgudsiq04
Are there any negative consequences for clocking the minimum frequency at 96MHz?
Usb-otg f2fs
I'm currently using the latest version of UBER-L kernel (01/01/15).
I have formatted my Micro USB to F2FS and would like to use it with my phone. TWRP recognises the USB and mounts it successfully, but the ROM (OptiPop) does not mount the USB. Both mount the USB fine when it is formatted to FAT32.
Is it possible for me to use F2FS using USB-OTG?
Thanks.
Edit: Got it working by using the 'Stickmount' app. ^_^

I disabled trimming and I dont see a difference with f2fs. I would conclude that it isn't necessary with f2fs
Is there changelog of the new kernel version?

Its all on github. The link is on the OP of the original thread. (The one with the download links)
GPU clock not going above 450MHz
Hey, I'm using this kernel (latest version as of now), on a clean flash of Optipop (also latest as of now - 11/01) with F2FS.
I set the max gpu clock to 650000000 in the uber_v1.3.cfg file in /etc
(also by terminal as in the 2nd post just to be sure) (echo "650000000" > the path and all)
Apps like System Monitor Lite and CPU-Z confirm that the max gpu clock is 650Mhz (Adreno 330 @ 650Mhz).
I have also set the performance governor (in the config file, and I tried via synapse + UKM 3.6.1 too) (I have set synapse not to apply settings on boot, so that should not be interfering with the init config of uber kernel until I set something in it.) I have no other kernel tweaking apps anyway.
However, the clock only goes up to 450MHz no matter what. It goes directly to 450 when touching the screen due to the performance governor, so I know settings are being applied.
However System Monitor, CPU-Z etc all show, current clock: 450MHz, Max Clock 650Mhz.
Even benchmarking with GFX bench gives results basically identical to the stock Nexus 5 with 450MHz, so there is no performance and FPS difference that should be there.
I searched the developer thread and found a few posts from many months ago that the gpu overclock was working properly for many people, with an appropriate improvement in FPS and benchmarks, with a couple of people also having my issue, that whatever of 650/533/450 max I apply, gpu doesn't go over 450MHz. However I couldn't find any solution.. it stopped working properly at some point between those builds when Chet introduced 533/650 and now?
I can't post in the dev thread (less than 10 posts).
This is reproducible, right after a clean boot, not a thermal issue (am not overclocking CPU, not running any CPU benchmarks, temp is less than 50C).
Hope someone can help. Thanks!
Installed Optipop back onto my N5 today. After a few hours of the phone being on the UI starts to act up then eventually needs a reboot to get back to being functional. I then flashed UberL kernel and now my screen is fuzzy and glitches out. Never had this problem in the past with Optipop or UberL. Please don't ask if I dirty flashed or deleted the android folder. I completely wipe my phone before I install a new ROM. I have been installing ROMs for a good minute now and have never seen this before. I have tried at least 5 other rom/kernel combos.....none have the same affect as UberL and Optipop. Yes I've tried F2FS ONLY Permissive Only and EXT4/F2FS Permissive and Enforcing with no luck.
Has the issue with the missing charging icon when the phone is turned off and plugged in reappeared? I have System, Data, and Cache formatted as F2FS and flashed F2FS-ONLY-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip before flashing UBER, but I am still having this issue. Everything else appears to be running smoothly.
Is there anyway to know if I isntalled corectly this kernel ? I changed a setting in the cfg file and it seem to not change anything. For exemple,
10.2 : Double tap to wake
# -Double tap on screen to wake up the device.
# - option are:
# 0 - Diable
# 1- BOTTOM hald of screen
# 2- Full screen
DT2W=2
When i tried to doubletap the screen, nothing happened.
When i installed the kernel, i didn't cleared the cache and the ????? but it might be working Anyway. is there a way to know if its working ?
After a benchmarks i think that the kernel isn't realy doing someting. i added +50 in 3.CPU SETTINGS OVERVOLT... isn't realy doing someting.

Format rom and then delete cache + tmp\mksh. Make sure to have a fresh ROM folder. Reinstall OptiPoP.ZIP, then flash the kernel before even boot. Now u can boot. install GA APP. Some time reinstalling work. Am lcuky...
Always do the following AFTER installing the kernel:
1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions

performance ?! but it will drain your batterie a lot.
Hey guys and gals.
So I got myself a new/old HOXL and immediately flashed a Candy5 ROM on it with all lollipop and CM12 bells and whistles. To keep things even more interesting, I threw a nice package of google apps on top of it and enabled Google Now.
Guess what I found out immediately after my phone booted
My phone was sloooooooow. Like, it was fast for 1 hour or so after reboot and then it started to drag. After a day of moderate usage it became barely usable; sometimes I would miss a phone call because it wouldn't show me the bloody dialer and let me answer.
My phone was sucking battery like a thirsty camel in an oasis in the middle of Sahara desert... ok, ok, just don't throw that tomato at me. Anyway, I was losing 10-15% of my battery per hour.
So, I started messing around with the phone and found out several interesting things. I think it's worth sharing and discussing. In the next posts, I will share my findings with you. Please share yours.
My goal is pretty obvious: fast, smooth experience on CM12 and decent battery life. I was getting 2 full days of moderate usage on my good ol' HD2, so that's my current target with HOX. I also want Google Now working, at least to some extent. I especially like the feature when it shows me my parking location and things around me, so disabling locations altogether is not an option.
First step to smoothness: swap and OOM
DISCLAMER. The script below plays with your system settings. It might cause bootloops, brick your device or start nuclear war. Please use at your own risk.
So, first thing I noticed was that the phone was getting slow because it didn't have enough memory to run. I figure that CM12 and lollipop in general is probably optimized for 2GB RAM, whereas our device has only 1GB. So I tried to play with OOM values, but didn't get the desired results. So I went and enabled swap. Guess what? Works like a charm.
Here's how I did it:
1. install SuperSU from here .
2. open it and let it install its su module. this part might be tricky; for me, doing this via recovery didn't work and regular install didn't work either. i ended up having to open ADB terminal and setting SELinux to permissive manually, like so:
su
setenforce 0
and only after that did it succeed to push its su module to system/xbin.
3. go to SuperSU's settings and make sure you have checked the following:
a. Enable Superuser
b. Enable su during boot
c. Trust system user (this is not mandatory; however, if you don't check this, you will be flooded with requests to grant su to system apps)
4. after you have everything set up, reboot to recovery and install the attached zip like you would install a ROM.
5. reboot and enjoy your new silky smooth HOX
This script enables swap on data and cache. The files are pretty large, too: 250MB on data and 250MB on cache. I saw that even with this I still have plenty of room on data and cache to keep rolling. This gives me 0.5GB of swap, virtually enlarging my RAM to 1.5GB. This seems to be enough for all my needs.
The script also sets swappiness to 50, sets OOM to the values that work best for me at the moment and brings over several optimizations from my HD2 ROM. Feel free to edit the values and share.
EDIT: uninstalling script attached
EDIT2: scripts updated to reflect my latest changes.
EDIT3: reduced small (small_swap.zip) attached for those who want to use swap with ZRAM
Second step to smoothness: kernel
This step proved to be extremely important for smoothness. For some reason, stock CM12 kernel appears to be severely underoptimized... or the kernels that our devs generously made available for us are heavily overoptimized
To my best knowledge, currently there are only two kernels that work with LP and support swap: Torched Kernel v1.4 and Frosted Kernel.
IMPORTANT: if you are going to flash Torched kernel, be sure to flash LP version 1.3 or 1.4. Previous versions break swap, thus hurting speed and stability
IMPORTANT: if you are going to flash Bricked kernel, you ABSOLUTELY MUST flash the voltage table (see this post). First flash the kernel and then the voltage table. Not following this procedure can damage your phone.
I am currently using the Bricked kernel and the results are extremely impressive.
Third step to smoothness: Ext4 optimizations: disable journaling, enable dir_index
This step helps quite a bit if you decide to stay with ext4 for now. But even if you don't and want to switch to F2FS (see step 4), it's worth doing it on the /system partition.
WARNING. Journaling slows your system down quite a bit but it also adds stability. Please beware. You may lose your data or may even have to reflash your ROM in some extreme cases.
I never experienced any problems with non-journaling systems, but be aware that google enabled it for a reason.
Note: Your system might became unstable only if you forcefully shut the device down by long-pressing the power button or if you run out of battery. In case of normal work and normal shutdowns/restarts, everything will be fine.
1. Flash the attached zip (no_journal.zip).
2. Profit! Your cache, data and system partitions have no journaling now.
Fourth step to smoothness: F2FS
It took me some time to figure out this one, but it proved to be extremely helpful in terms of speed and general smoothness. Stability is yet to be tested, but I have it for ~24 hours now, and everything looks fine so far.
0. You need a F2FS-enabled TWRP. Luckily, we have jrior001 with us, who took care for that. Grab it from here (please thank jrior001 in his thread).
1. Install Torched kernel 1.4. (Bricked supports F2FS too, but for some reason, the performance is degraded and the stability is much worse than with Torched).
1a. If you had Bricked installed, remove undervolt script from /system/etc/init.d
2. Install attached zip (evita_F2FS_conversion_v2.0_pav.zip). This will enable you to work either with ext4 (with some extra optimizations) or with F2FS, so you can always go back without having to remove it. (note that you'll have to flash this zip each time you install a new kernel)
3. In TWRP, go to Backup, select data and cache and unselect system. I also disabled compression, just in case. Start the backup and wait for it to finish.
3a. STOP! Check that backup returned no errors. If there were errors during the backup, don't go any further or you'll lose your data!
4. Now connect your device to the PC. On PC, browse to Computer\One X\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\<number of your device>\<latest backup>
5. You will see a bunch of files whose name contains ext4. For example, data.ext4.win.md5
6. Go ahead and change ext4 to f2fs for each file. The names should now look as follows: data.f2fs.win.md5
7. Back in TWRP, choose Restore -> your latest backup.
8. Sit back and relax while TWRP reformats your data and cache partitions as F2FS and restores all your data.
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. If you'll ever want to go back to ext4, just go to TWRP, connect your device to the PC, on your PC, restore the original names of the backup files (rename f2fs to ext4), in TWRP choose restore and you're back to where you stated
First step to battery life: wakelocks
1. Go to Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy guard.
2. Scroll down till you reach the word Google.
3. Enable privacy for everything that starts with the word Google, including (!!!) Google Play Services.
4. Long-tap to enter each row and disable "keep awake" and "wake up" wherever applicable
Also, I use ServiceDisabler (from Play Store) to enter Google Play Services and disable Google Analytics
Second step to battery life: WIFI
Settings -> WI-FI -> three dots on top of the screen -> Advanced.
Disable "Keep WIFI on during sleep" (set to never) and "Scanning always available"
Third step to battery life: build.prop
Attached is my modified build.prop. It is derived from the stock build.prop, with some important tweaks that I brought over from my HD2 ROM. The measurements here are not that objective, but I felt that I could squeeze ~30% more juice from a single charge.
Of course, uninstall script is attached as well, just in case.
Fourth step to battery life: data usage
1. Head to Settings -> Data usage.
2. Scroll down till you see Google App.
3. Click on it and enable "Restrict app background data".
4. Go back and scroll further down till you find cLock.
5. Enable "Restrict app background data" as well.

Cannot end a call by pressing the red button.. After unswap everything is normal again.. Can you please check it?
Nice work!!!!
How did u unswap ?
My phone was kinda cool.... Until I flashed this, my phone lagged the more.
Nice work BTW.
I want to unswap please!
Flash unswap.zip.. But i just notice that despite unswapping problem still persists.. Maybe it.s a cm12 bug.. I dont know
flashing unswap.zip should remove any traces of what swap.zip has done. if the problem persists after you flashed unswap, then the problem is elsewhere
I downgraded firmware from 2.18 to 2.15 and now i can terminate the calls.. I also install your swap file in latest cm12 02.19 nightly and seems to work fine..
I flashed Candy 5 and noticed that even after installing Torched kernel and overclocking, optimizing, etc, my phone would slow to a crawl by the end of the day and it definitely wasnt a memory problem as I had plenty free. What I found was that randomly my IO settings reset to 128Kb read-ahead and the scheduler resets to ROW. Changing back manually to 512Kb and FIOPS and suddenly the performance is back to what it was. This has happened twice in two days and I'm not sure if this is a Torched/CM/Candy/or Lollipop bug but at least I figured out what was causing it....
Hi thelonewolf_pav,
I just saw your post in the torched kernel lp thread. So if I have torched kernel lp flashed, the swap doesn't work? I flashed swap.zip and then flashed torched kernel lp, and my evita seems to be running without lag, for now. I hope torched can figure out what the problem is. Also, if I use fiops for my I/O scheduler and 512 Kb read ahead cache size, it helps. One more thing, how do I check if my swap portions are being used, I just want to see if mine are being used or not.
Thank You,

fiops should be great. too bad we don't have it in stock kernel. however, in my experience, the lower read ahead cache is, the better. try experimenting with it. i ended up setting it to 0.

look at the last reported line (swap). it should say that you have about 1GB total and some amount of it in use. if you have all values (including "total") at zero, then swap wasn't initialized properly (or isn't supported by the kernel) and didn't kick in. if you have "used" at zero for a prolonged period then you, like me, experience the Torched bug: swap was started but kernel isn't actually swapping anything. if all values are greater than zero, that means that swap is working properly.
please report here what you get. it would be very nice to know whether Torched kernel worked for you

hi thelonewolf_pav,
You were right, my phones is slowing down to a crawl even with swap enabled. I think, since I clean installed candy5 version 1.0.1, I got some good performance without much lag, but after some time the lag came back, I am torched kernal now. Should I switch back to stock kernal? To do that do I just fastboot flash boot boot.img from candy5 rom?

Hi thelonewolf_pav, if I flash the stock kernal do I need to reflash swap.zip? And what will losing the over clock to 1.7 GHz and GPU over clock to 512 MHz actually do to my device? As long as swap is enabled on stock kernal, my phone should run without any lag without the over clock, right? It is sad that I well lose fast charge, s2w and dt2w. But do we know what the root cause of this problem is, like in touched?
Thanks

Hey,
flashing the stock kernel should be enough. you don't have to reflash swap.
regarding your overclocked settings, they simply won't apply. the phone should boot normally, and you will be able to set the frequencies to the values that are allowed by the kernel.
regarding the root cause of the problem, unfortunately, we don't know it. kernel dev said that he will look into it. all i know is that swap starts perfectly well on Torched kernel, but the kernel never actually uses it. ("used" value is always at zero). which is equal to not having swap at all

Hi guys,
I have this tablet for quite some time, and until now I have tried numerous ROMs that more or less did the job. But, I am still experiencing issues like slow boot, slow functioning in general. Now, I would like to give it as a gift to a friend, but I want to give it in a good clean state. So, my question to you all is what is the best ROM for this tablet? What can I do so that she can enjoy it and all the features that it has? In my oppinion, this tablet has very good features, way above many other that are on the market, but somehow I did not "feel" all this, but instead with all the testing I have done, I was not convinced ... Could I get your oppinion on the ROMs and gapps versions I should use? Right now I am running ZombiPOP 5.1.1.
Any oppinion/suggestion is welcome
You don't give this device to a friend

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Is it really that bad?
I have just finished installing the latest version of ZombiPOP, all good but I chose ROM2SD, and for some reason it says something about low on space, even though the SD card is empty (32GB) and there is all the space available on internal, too. Installed the performance patch, and now it is stuck on optimizing app 17 of 84 for about 10 minutes, even though I did not install any google apps in the ROM, I wanted to install the banks gapps.
But seriously, is it that bad that you wouldn't give it to a friend?
If you don't want to be married to it, give it away with the understanding you are done with it!
Personally, I would sell it and be done with it.....it's that bad.
I see ... well, that's not very good news. As I said, it's a friend and I would like to stay in touch with her after this, so probably I won't give it to her. Maybe try to sell it. It's still a mistery, to me as well as many others around here I noticed, how such good performance indicators (CPU, RAM, etc.) in reality perform very badly Although I've seen a couple of good grades for it, regarding different ROMs, I can see that the big majority is against it. Well, I will be waiting for a few days anyway, maybe someone will visit this thread and give such a good review of a ROM, and such details that I can replicate easily, that it would be worth giving it after all

I am glad that your device is working the way that you like it....
BTW, I just noticed that the zip that I created for you was not optimized in term of "Random write" priority comparing to the read process. It can be further improving the performance on the multi-task if you can find the optimal point/balance between the two processes. Also, I just played around with the f2fs on the /cache partition and seems like there is a slightly improvement over all on the device. Please let me know if you like to test out this new improvements on your device. It is just a simple update on your device and you are good to go...

i'm very interested in this. i'm tired of flashing every time i want it to act right for a week. my internal file system has already been convered to f2fs.

Hey there,
I am qouting here the indications the @LetMeKnow sent me, all credits goes to him. I have not encountered any kind of issue.
Check list:
1. Cromi-X v5.4
2. Apex launcher
3. Asus browser ( special tweaks on this browser and it is very fast)
To do before installing my tweaks:
1. Backup your current setup in the twrp, just in case some issues are occurred
2. Go here and Delete all the files in this directory "/system/etc/init.d" except this file "50CleanTWEAKS"
3. Go to "Asus system Settings": Under Wi-Fi, Advanced Wi-Fi
1. Set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Only when plugged in"
2. Uncheck the box "Wi-Fi optimization"
4. Go to "ASUS customized setting" and Uncheck the box "Enable smart backlight adjuster"
5. Go to the Asus browser Advanced setting and Uncheck these boxes: "Fast Scroller" and "Dim the screen while website loads"
This I'm not sure how it would go for you, @LetMeKnow made this built for my device, so I would ask him prior to installing it
6. Download my Zip file here:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...int=file,zip
Reboot into the TWRP and setup the f2fs before installing my zip:
1. Under "Wipe", "Advanced Wipe": Select only "Data" partition and make sure that all others boxes are Unchecked
2. Click on "Repair or Change File System"
3. Click on "Change file System"
4. Click on "F2FS"
5. "Swipe to Change" to format your /data partition with f2fs
6. Back Home and Select "Install"
7. Browse to my downloaded zip file
8. Uncheck the box "Zip file signature verification?"
9. Swipe to install
10. Reboot to system and enjoy your new tf700t
Hope it helps

Version 3.0 for Cromi-X!
A few more important notes to add:
- You must do a clean installation with the Cromi-X v5.4. A format of your /data partition is preferred or at least a full wipe of your /data partition which means everything on your internal data including your /media. No f2fs conversion at this point, all partitions must be ext4 when you install the fresh Cromi-X.
- Please select only minimal apps for your core system apps during the ROM installation and install others apps from google store so they are resided on the /data partition instead of /system partition.
- Please select Hund's kernel during the installing process.
- After the installation of Cromi-X completed, you need to boot into system and update everything the Apex launcher only from the google store. Otherwise, your device will be in a bootloop...
- Please go to post #12 for the rest of the instructions of how to install and convert your partitions with f2fs...
- File definitions:
- US is for US bootloader
- WW is for WW bootloader
- Data_f2fs is only for /data partition with f2fs
- Data-Cache_f2fs is for both /data and /Cache with f2fs
Note: There is a patch that further improves the overall performance on your device. It is on page #5 and post #41. Please backup your current setup in twrp and install both patches in the same session, thanks. Also, there is a patch to fix the exfat filesystem on page #12 and post #109.
Have fun and enjoy your new tf700t....
thanks for the info lmk. sorry to take so long to respond. hopefully i'll have a few minutes i can devote in the near future (might be weeks or xmas, work is crazy).
Hello Letmeknow, first off, thanks for all the hard work you put into these tweaks! I really appreciate it as I have had nothing but a heart ache with this tablet and I paid 500 bucks for it when it came out =O. I need some help though, please. I'm stuck at the conversion process. After making the tweaks within CROMI, I rebooted into TWRP and went to format data, but I don't see an option for converting file system. Where can I find this? Maybe I missed something? Thanks in advance for your help!
This kernel was built originally only for private use, but some of you have asked for it so I've decide to share.
I'm not responsible: You use at your own risk.
This kernel is based on latest LineageOS source code, with only a few tweaks in config file and maybe any external commit. It's more a "proof of concept" than a development by itself. My philosofy is "keep it simple"... I don't look for a "overloaded super-kernel with steroids"... if you want many features (exotic governors, OC, etc...) and "bleeding edge" functionalities there are some good alternatives made by good devs here so this kernel is not for you. Maybe other kernels can benefit by this approach in the future.
The approach for BitO-K is a light and stable kernel optimized via some basic params in kernel config and built with latest Toolchain (TC) to get a very optimized code for our device's architecture.
Fronts attacked: Task scheduling (SMT enabled), task efficiency (CleanCache/FrontSwap and other minor tweaks) and IO optimization (the only commit you can see ATM in my source branch) and, depending on version, latest Toolchains from Linaro or UBER. ATM no more "magic"...
*In my personal device I'm also testing with /data and /cache partitions on F2FS instead of EXT4 (this also helps...). Maybe new thread in the future about this...

You can disable thermal control bins from xiaomi to avoid some lag if you get your CPU hot... Revise your config to be sure you don't get a brick...
You can install on any ROM, but if MIUI based, then you can get some features not to work, like WIFI, etc... If you want to test on MIUI, you have info here, thx to @Hen Ry
How to delete thermal control binaries by Xiaomi
You need root permissions (I suggest Magisk 13.6+)
Go to /vendor/bin
Delete (I suggest to move to a backup folder into /vendor/bin or rename files, not delete):
perfd
thermal-engine
Additonally you can delete (or move/rename to *.bak) file:
/etc/thermal-engine-8996.conf

Not necessary the best ones, only the ones I usually set (battery/performance balanced, smooth behaviour, almost total lag free):

GPU MX: 560 MHz
Governor: Interactive
Other minor tweaks (sometimes I set them):

How to convert FS's from EXT4 to F2FS (IO performance improvement)
Be prepared to break it all... Again: at your own risk
Your TWRP must support F2FS (look for my latest TWRP-MROM )
Your kernel (on primary or secondary) must support F2FS (usual if LineageOS based)
Your system (on primary or secondary) must support F2FS mounting (fstab.qcom file updated with F2FS entries for /cache and /data ) (usual if LineageOS based)
Make a backup of ALL your data you want to keep (/data partition via TWRP backup + DCIM, WhatsApp folder, etc... ) (I suggest copying/backup via USB from TWRP)
In TWRP go to: Wipe / Advanced Wipe / Change or repair file system / Change file system for /cache and /data and select F2FS
Restore your /data partition from TWRP backup and manually copy your extra folders (DCIM, Whatsapp, etc...)
Reboot and profit

Hello Mate. May I please ask if you can share the tweaks / config in Kernal Audiutor ?
It's all placebo or its doing its job very well and very quietly. Either way, its not breaking anything or making anything worse, so bravo.

Cheers. I'm going to try this F2FS mod out but it's going to take forever just to copy everything off my phone (256GB model, almost full). If I switch data to F2FS will it kill the encryption (I don't want it to be encrypted anyway)? If not, I may as well get rid of it now when all my personal files are backed up to my PC.

Ummhhh.. I always assume an unencrypted scenario... but indeed you lose encryption when reformatting to another FS, you must re-encrypt after formatting (target FS must be encryptable).

I copied everything off, took a backup of data in TWRP and copied it to the PC too. Wiped data/cache, changed both to F2FS and rebooted into recovery. Copied the data backup back to the phone and restored (gave a warning about it being from an EXT4 source but it restored ok). Rebooted into Resurrection Remix and in the settings it still says it's encrypted. To get it decrypted I had to use the 'Format Data' option in TWRP (as opposed to ticking data and wiping it).
Between the new kernel, some tweaks in EX Kernel Manager (mainly ondemand governor for CPU and performance for GPU), and decryption, I'm getting the highest Antutu scores I have for months. Just got 156k (60477/53925/31252/10475). Now I just have to wait while it copies 200GB+ of stuff back to the device.

Battery? Stability? Smoothness...? Thx for feedback

I always found ondemand to give the smoothest experience and that's exactly what I'm getting here. It feels like being back on MIUI (that's a good thing).
I can't give any input battery-wise as I'm rarely away from a charger and don't care about battery life (within reason obviously), so I never monitor it.
As for stability, I did temporarily lose WiFi connectivity (other network devices were fine), and when that dropped out I lost mobile data too. This happened when I was transferring the last batch of files I forgot to restore via USB. I've been using RR for weeks and it has never happened before, but it could just be a one-off. It took a reboot to resolve.
I have noticed the device can get very warm when transferring a large number of files over WiFi. It has always been like that regardless of kernel. I had the case on when I lost connectivity so I couldn't feel if it was that warm, but maybe that sustained high temp buggered the WiFi. If it happens again I'll let you know.
I should note that I had the thermal files removed (I've always deleted them from I first got the device). I also usually run the OC'd DragonXia kernel so my device is no stranger to a little extra heat.
I'm using it for a day now. so far so good. Latest Mokke rom, working flawlessly. using ondemand governor with stock clocks, CFQ and I/O Scheduler with 2Mb read ahead value.
only odd thing I have noticed so far is that WiFi signal seems to be a bit weaker. In places that I had connectivity before, now I'm not in range.
Otherwise all good! Keep up the good work, and thanks man!

How to convert FS's from EXT4 to F2FS (IO performance improvement) (-- WIP --)
Be prepared to break it all... Again: at your own risk
Your TWRP must support F2FS (look for my latest TWRP-MROM ) -- perhaps 4/128GB pending, WIP --
Your kernel (on primary or secondary) must support F2FS (usual if LineageOS based)
Your system (on primary or secondary) must support F2FS mounting (fstab.qcom file updated with F2FS entries for /cache and /data ) (usual if LineageOS based)
Make a backup of ALL your data you want to keep (/data partition via TWRP backup + DCIM, WhatsApp folder, etc... ) (I suggest copying/backup via USB from TWRP)
In TWRP go to: Wipe / Advanced Wipe / Format Partition and select /cache and /data and format to F2FS
Restore your /data partition from TWRP backup and manually copy your extra folders (DCIM, Whatsapp, etc...)
Reboot and profit

Weird... seems that AICP does not include F2FS entries in fstab.qcom file...
If I have time I will try to make a zip to inject updated fstab.
