This thread is regarding discussion about Doomlord UC kernel for our device. This thread is specially for general chit chat, opinions, Q and A related to his kernel so that main thread of Doomlord kernel in developement section will have less crowd of unnecessary questions & posts.
So I request senior members to help noobs here. Also if necessary Doomlord will also answer ur important querries here.
Important :-Kernel is working universally perfectly with EVERY firmwares without any problems.
Current version :- v14 (21st MAY 2012)

Thank you.

Well now that kernel development is in full swing, could we look into fixing the notification bug? I don't know much about android development, but I read someone say it could be kernel related... That I feel is the biggest bug facing our beloved phone on gb!

@doomlord finally you got our device, this device has seen lots of bad times and always neglected by senior members or devs. I know lots of your work involve sony ericsson devices,qualcomm devices .
So how do you feel about our device? It's cost only 17k and you know now how it is.
What do you think of it compare to others.

can u tell us which governer & scheduler will be best for battery & performance?
I'm not an expert in android governer and i/o scheduler but I've been using smartassv2 and vr with better performance than stock with a slightly higher battery drain than original settings when actively used. When idle I have about the same battery drain as default.

I've used smartassv2 (proposed by XDA_Bam) and Scary and interactive (proposed by Doomlord). I'm using my phone mostly as audioplayer (ie almost always audioplayer is working). For me is more better smartassv2. Because with other I have lags while changing pages in the applications menu or changing screens in the Go launcher Ex.
Also I'm using BFQ as IO scheduler, because I know it's the best for not too many concurrent processes reading/writing to disk. Also usually it doesn't have too big sense for mobile devices, because we don't have a lot applications working with hdd/sd card
can anyone tell me which governer and i/o should i choose for best performance while playing hd games (i dont care about the battery drain). actually i downloaded shadowgun non tegra but it gets a bit laggy when too many enemies appear on screen, i tried setting performance governer but its the same.

1. You have to close all other application and services
2. The performance governor just put CPU to the max frequency, that's why it's the best for gaming
3. If it's still laggy you need or overclocked kernel (we don't have it yet) or make lower settings in the game (or in the Chainfire 3D)
@nail16: You need to OC or a new phone, that game is just too heavy for this phone.
After doing some research on available i/o scheduler I say simple i/o (sio) is the best from theory considering we're accessing a random access device. For quantitative conclusion someone needs to bench.
EDIT: @vishal, can you include a list of firmware versions that work with current UC kernel in your OP? For now I think we have XXKPM, XXKPQ and mine DXKP9. Also I think "[UC Kernel] Q & A" is a better title (the shorter it is the better), please change it if you feel appropriate.
Also here is very good benchmark of the IO schedulers
But remember that it was 2009, now it's 2011 and some things can be changed/optimized
what are the benefits of running custom kernel other than governer and i/o?, sorry noob question

I dare say those benchs are not enough to evaluate those i/o schedulers. e.g. In read_test.c, you see that the program will read chunk of 1MB one by one which is a very rare case that our phone would do in day to day usage. We need a better benchmark methodology to reach a conclusive answer.

On the kernel page, you saw lots of line saying added in v1, added in v2.
All those are not present in the vanilla kerel by samsung.
U can check each in google to see what it means and what good it brings the mobile.
Also read these links to understand more:

There are lots more.
Thanks ganesh, you are very noob friendly.

How many applications do you start every day that hard works with hard disk? Do you think IO scheduler can be bottleneck for usual usage of our device? I don't think so. Only games during load of new level, gallery (during making thumbnails) and launcher (during loading icons) work hard with "hard disk"
Updated op.
I was looking into fs benchmarks for debian linux.
Found that JFS was the least CUP intensive off all.
Would it be the same on Android?

No, I actually don't really care as long as my phone feel smooth, that's why I don't go out and do a benchmark myself to ultimately find an answer. My point simply was that benchmark method in your link is inadequate. Finding faults in other ppl's works is one thing I do at my job after all.

What these benchmarks do is to guide us to use the appropriate one for our use.
As Doom says we can switch the IO Scheculer/Governor on the fly.
So where is the problem in doing so.
So basically this is a general discussion or chit chatting for all of you about which governer is better ,best etc. I/O schedulers etc.
You can also ask question, queries about your current settings is it good and etc.
There are also three sections in this post too. Recommended settings by me, Tested ones. And also ones that I am testing. Those that I have tested have my remarks on them too
RECOMMENDED
Here are my recommended No-Frills CPU settings:
Max:1200
Min:300
Gov. InteractiveX(Gives a lot of performance boost and also battery friendly)
I/O: BFQ(Im now checking out other IO schedulers after found a good or better one i will update )(and also Because it fixes this issue.)
These are the setting that gives me the best/positive results on my unit. I do not OC as I see no obvious differences in speed as these settings are already more than good enough. And furthermore OC will decrease the life of the device so no point.
TESTED
I have tested these:
Max:1200
Min: 300
Gov: Smartassv2
IO: SIO
Remarks: I have tested these and I must say the performance and battery life was almost as good as those of the recommended settings These do perform almost the same as the recommended ones but battery wise is definitely an out for these if compared to the recommended one. I personally would still recommend and prefer those in the recommended section as both almost perform the same and this is more unbattery friendly.
TESTING
This are the settings that I am testing now:
Max: 1000
Min: 300
Gov: Conservative
IO: Noop
Remarks: So as usual, I will test and report back after about a week. As of now, performance wise, these really lose out to all the others that are present in this post. But battery wise its definitely a clear winner

Hi. I was just wondering... Do Kernel Govs and I/O selections match well with V6 Supercharger? Or is it better to supercharge with a stock kernel?
Sorry for the noob question. Im just concerned if its possible that all these mods im applying might be cancelling out each other at some point... Or worse might be contradicting each other too...

Nope they don't they do different things . Supercharger manages minfree values while governors and schedulers manage the CPU speed

In my opinion, this topic is kinda useless.
I know and i respect your effort, but these settings really depend on the user and how they use the device.
If i try the same settings and try it myself, i will probably have another opinion and other results.
Benchmarks mean nothing.
Also many other threads all over XDA were made to explain governors and I/O schedulers, and users can simply Google it and read, then chose what suits them.

Also, it doesn't matter if it's for our device or not, the topic give YOU the best results, others will probably have to test themselves, so i still see no point in this.

which kernel r u using? bam v14 doesnt have interactivex !!
Team Fah-Q Presents...
Scorched Kernel for Blaze ICS v1.0.29
Built with the Linaro Toolchain v4.7, the purpose of this kernel is to fix bugs, add features, add performance, and hopefully save some battery where possible. However, battery life will most likely not be as good as stock, since the device is overclocked and DVFS (dynamic frequency and voltage scaling) is turned off. I have done my very best to squeeze every ounce of battery life out of this device.
It includes a brand new CPU Governor called Scorched, developed by me and based on the lagfree governor. It focuses on saving power and reducing the usage of the higher CPU frequencies unless necessary, while still keeping responsiveness and performance intact.
The kernel should work with any ROM that is derived from the stock Samsung ICS release IMM76D.LH5, however I recommend using it with the Tweaked ROM, as that is what I develop it against.
This is a kernel several months in the making. Hope you like it
It is STRONGLY advised to do a full nandroid backup in CWM before installing the kernel,
as the installer will overwrite kernel modules in /system/lib/modules. You've officially been warned
NOTE: This thread is reserved for bug reports, logcats, and other development related discussion. General discussion, questions, etc should be posted in this threadKernel Features
IO Schedulers:
zen (NEW)
vr (NEW)
sio (NEW)
deadline
cfq
noop
CPU Governors:
scorched (NEW)
lagfree (NEW)
interactive (NEW)
ondemand
conservative
userspace
powersave
performance
Other Features:
Overclocked to 1.72 GHz
Voltage control support
Support for init.d scripts, added automatically during installation of the kernel.
ZRAM support with Google Snappy compression, with a default size of 64 MB.
Other tweaks and fixes, too minor to note. Check the Google Code site if you're interested.

FAQ
FAQ
What is the Scorched CPU Governor?
The Scorched CPU governor is rather similar to the lagfree governor both in its source code and its purpose. The difference is that while lagfree seeks to give performance-on-demand by increasing immediately to the maximum CPU frequency, Scorched jumps immediately to a mid-point frequency and then gracefully increases or decreases the CPU frequency as required. This provides both performance-on-demand as well as extended battery life.
multi core support
is there anyway of changing it to were we have multi core support ( in regards to offlining 2nd 3rd etc cores ) to save battery by chance cause some other kernels ive tested have that capability if i knew how to do so myself ( im slowly learning with massive reprocussions lol ) but would that be possible at all
awesome finally some scorchness for the blaze

Many thanks for your hard work.
However I've been using this kernel for a couple of days now with tweaked 2.1, and deleted battery stats but my battery life is really poor.
I've left the system essentially in standby for several full charge cycles but I only get 10 hours with next to no use, if lucky.
With stock kernel and Blz3r v3 and with heavy usage I would easily get 14 hours.
I'm still going to keep on using it and characterizing it and hope it gets better.

In my own testing, I have found that it is often worse to turn off a core completely, than to aim for a lower clock speed on both active cores. My theory is that the increase of speed with multithreading speeds up processing over the single corr, thus staying at a higher frequency for less time.
Just a personal observation.
I'm New
I'm sorry if i sound like an idiot, but Does this work on the stock ICS rom? I'm rooted btw
and does it support undervolting?
Thank you, Very stable and responsive kernel. Only issue I've had after installing the kernel is that when I try to send an app from play.google.com to my phone it doesn't show up. I can still install from within the phone itself just not website to phone, not sure if it's related to this Kernel or not but started after flashed it.
Again I'm not 100% positive that it's related so will need to do some more testing...

That's about right for the benchmark. I'm considering going a slightly different route with the kernel that may reduce performance a bit but should up battery life significantly.

Hope your 2 year old gets well soon. Yes sacrificing a bit of performance to up the battery is definitelyitly worth it. Also seems like your scorched will outilizelize 384 and above, not sure how much battery can be saved but basic call functions and such can perfectly work on 192Mhz

Hi,
Did anyone follow this thread to optimize CPU and battery life?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
Did you get nice results?
I want to try it on my phone. But I am a little bit lost.
Thanks.
I haven't tried above, but I can share my thoughts:
1. That thread is for Nexus+AOSP, params might not work for Mi4+MIUI.
2. If you wanna try those params on CM, I wonder what's the point. CM is already well optimized. Even with best kernel parameters, you'll never see a difference of night and day.
Is there something specific that you want to focus on for your device?
More battery life. But muy highest problem is mobile radio active bug... Any help?
Hi everybody!
I'm new to the Verizon S5, but I followed the great bootloader unlocking thread and decided to make some custom roms and kernels. So, this is my kernel thread.
I've been building for the S4 and the Note Edge, so I hope you don't mind if I step in here. I'm not trying to step on anyone else's toes, and I hope you all don't mind another developer hanging around.
You can find all my work at https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser when I get a chance to get it uploaded. I live in Alaska and do have limited and slow internet, so please be patient.

great work .
Ive been asking around about this , there was a thread that ported a backtrack/kali for the s5 and that kernel had the feature of controling the tx and rx of the phone, i dont know if you could include those commits in yours as well for LOS and also if that could be applied to the tx and rx of the modem to boost reception of signal for 4G....that's if its possible.
Looking foward to the next updates.

Thanks! Next up is over clocking. I usually keep it light on the oc.

Quick update, new kernel, praise God, it even works!
Overclocked to 2533 MHz without increasing voltage.
I had to reset my cellular settings after flashing this, however, I am using my Verizon phone on an AT&T network through Straight Talk, so I'm not sure if that matters. But after a reset of the cell settings, data started working just fine for me.
My kernels tend to be more battery oriented than performance, but I like to overclock a little without increasing the voltage to get the most bang for the buck. Enjoy!

now since it overclocks maybe now you can attempt to undervolt it and the gpu to the bare minimum that it will allow without it freezing and rebooting ( even better battery life) , on the other kernels ive tried i was able to get it to stay at a -125mv but had to bring the cpu frequency down to 1400'S or 1200's some users said that -100 at stock frequency was stable so mayby for your kernel a -90mv with the overclock is def possible. sadly we still can undervolt or overclock the gpu as well
Actually, my plan is to add voltage control to the kernel, so you can adjust it to any level you want. I just finished adding that option to the Galaxy S4, including the GPU, and hope to do the same here.

Praise God! New kernel is up! Added I/O schedulers!

Added @ktoonsez voltage control! Credit goes to him for the code. I just added it to the kernel.
You can control this in Kernel Adiutor, but remember, adjusting voltages can be dangerous and may alter the space time continuum of your phone.

Praise God, another kernel update!
Over clocked the GPU to 600 MHz ( a 4% gain ) without increasing voltage! Its been working great all day, but I don't play heavy graphics games, so a gamer should give it a go and let us know the results!

WOW!!! testing now , pretty much for me i play one game pretty much all day , so def will test now and report back if any issues occured during the time period.
also my question is , do you see any possibilities of gpu voltage control?
also do include the kcal v2 for the screen (rgb) calibration. to properly dim the blacks and pop up colors.
if you keep this up , seriously hands down your kernel will turn-out to be the best kernel for the S5 , especially since you are putting in new feaures that the other kernels don't have. I mean a gpu overclock , i dont think no other dev have accomplished that.

Well, actually @ktoonsez has a kernel that over clocked the GPU much higher than me. However, my focus is on over clocking without increasing voltage.
As for voltage control for the GPU, I hope so.
I will look into kcal v2? I was thinking of adding @faux123 fauxsound next.
Most of the work I do is piggy backed off of great work from people like ktoonsez, Faux123, and @javelinanddart, so I can't take much credit. Thanks for the kind words though!

actually yea Faux sound would be great as well.... ps. had a random reboot occured , the phone was just siting there charging , but noticed now that its stuck in a bootloop....not sure if its the kernel since its the first time that occued and the only change made was the kernel today.

Interesting. Could you pull a last kmsg if it happens again? Thanks.

So far it has not happened again but i will keep a close watch on it. but i highly think that its a rom related issue.
Trouble with FauxSound....
Just an update, I am working on the FauxSound mod, but something keeps going wrong. I end up with no sound. WIP.

Great question. I'm still having trouble with faux sound. I decided to table that for now and work on a few other improvements for the S5 instead.
