Log Test 9:
- Fix USB Tethering (need change dnsmasq_dhcp patch & make run dnsmasq_dhcp when USB Tethering running)
- Fix segment fault when zipalign script execute
- Add dnsc binary to ping url address and this binary function to know when you online or not. If you online crossbreeder script run/execute
- Remove sqlite3 and system server binary (not stable and broken something)
- Change value of scripts
**) For flash this need clean rom and this kernel CAN'T update from previously kernel. If you have issue with wifi tether, you can use app Barnacle Wifi Tether from play store.
Recommend kernel and everything look like stable for me. May be this final version if i don't found any bugs again
Log Test 8:
- Fix dnsmasq dhcp only need 1 process and previously version i got trouble connection issue while tethering
- Change path dnsmasq_dhcp binary to crossbreeder folder (from /system/bin/* change to /system/etc/CrossBreeder/*)
- Fix Clean Dalvik script and now work with schedule
- Add dalvikvm binary and system_server binary from jellybean (may be can boost performance)
- Use some value of tweak from ThunderBolt/Pikachu01
- Change some value of tweak
**) For flash this need clean rom and this kernel CAN'T update from previously kernel. If you have issue with wifi tether, you can use app Barnacle Wifi Tether from play store.
Log Test 7:
- Fix crossbreeder (low RAM because duplicate dnrd process and dnsmasq_dhcp process. Fix in this version)
- Fix haveged script (need link /dev/random to /dev/urandom). Entropy always stay in 4096. To check this you can type in terminal emulator
Code:
su
entro
- Remove extendedmenu and rngd
- Use only two dnsmasq_dhcp/dnsmasq process. If you check in terminal emulator with
Code:
su
ps | pgrep dnsmasq_dhcp
or
Code:
su
ps | pgrep dnsmasq
You'll found only 2 process running and always got 2 dnsmasq process everytime (in other version you'll get many dnsmasq and make low RAM).
- Fix build.prop tweak
**) For flash this need clean rom and this kernel CAN'T update from previously kernel. If you have issue with wifi tether, you can use app Barnacle Wifi Tether from play store.
Log Test 6:
- In this version you can choose use haveged or rngd (default use haveged)
- Add build.prop tweak in init.d (can disable in extended menu)
- Tweak now 80% complete for get maximal performance for this phone (i don't have any idea again to get more better than this. Thank you )
**) For flash this need clean rom and this kernel CAN'T update from previously kernel. If you have issue with wifi tether, you can use app Barnacle Wifi Tether from play store
Log Test 5:
- Fix script init.d
- Fix Crossbreeder more better and less aggressive to check DNS and IP Address
- Fix hosts and save more memory
**) For flash this need clean rom and this kernel CAN update from previously kernel test 4. If you have issue with wifi tether, you can use app Barnacle Wifi Tether from play store
Log Test 4:
- Use GCC 4.4.3 to compiler kernel (much more stable)
- Remove unnecessary module
- Add random optimize in kernel (3 commit github)
- Remove haveged and use rngd
- Combine crond script to one script and run every 45 minutes. Save more ram for this (script are Fast Engine Flush, Fast Engine Swap and Reduce Wifi TX Power)
- Add script Read Write Partition tweak and I/O Scheduler Tweak
- Update CrossBreeder. Much more save ram and now use blank gif for ADBlock (every things work).
- Boot more faster than before (optimize script more efficient) and more performance
**) For flash this need clean rom and can't update from previously kernel test (a lot of difference things)
Log Test 3:
- Fix All CPU Governors source code (i hope it)
- Try with difference egl.cfg value
- Change Fast Engine Flush script run every 60 minutes
- Change Fast Engine Swap script run every 45 minutes
- Change Haveged script run every 20 minutes
- Add Reduce TX Power script and this script run 30 minutes after you turn on your wifi/wifi tethering
- Add CrossBreeder script and script little difference with original (give me more ram with all feature from CrossBreeder work and run without problem).
And you can use AdAway apps to enable or disable hosts file (It will be work together with AdBlock CrossBreeder)
- Add Audio Lag Reduction in huawei extended menu :laugh:
- Fix huawei extended menu and make all feature can be enable or disable it
Log Test 2:
- Revert back with linaro toolchain => android ndk result is random reboot and kernel panic for me
- Revert back with haveged binary, remove rngd & problem solved now
- Add Haveged Script => Entropy Lag reduction and this script run every 5 minutes with crond style (script are difference with idcrisis/crossbreeder because use crond to execute)
Log Test 1:
- Cpu Governors: Virtuous, AssWax, Superbad, Brazilianwax, Lagfree, Minmax, Smoothass, SavagedZen, InteractiveX, Interactive, SmartassV2, Conservative, Ondemand, Userspace, Powersave, Scary and Performance => Default CPU Governors use Scary
- I/O Scheduler: Noop, Anticipatory, Deadline, cfq, Sio, bfq, vr and Zen => Default I/O Scheduler use Zen
- Min-Max CPU Default: 61MHz-600Mhz
- Add experimental module
- Add new egl.cfg and libGLES_qcom.so
- Add KickAssKernel Script
- Add SQLite database vaccum Script => this script run every 1 week

FAQ
How to know my script in init.d work?
You can see all log in /data/*.log
Why first boot so long?
Be patient. Because 3 script do it a job first time (SQLite database vaccum Script, Automatic ZipAlign Script and Clean Dalvik Cache and Cache Script).
The second boot will fast.
How to know rngd or haveged run?
You can type in terminal
Code:
su
extendedmenu
How to make/create Odexed framework file?
You can type in terminal, use adb or qtadb
Code:
su
dexo
And your phone will reboot if the script finish do a job
How to know CrossBreeder AdBlock work?
You can try to view file /system/etc/hosts and try one url in that file. Try it in your internet browser and you can get [ADBLOCK] (in NEW VERSION you'll got blank gif).
Can I disable ADBLOCK CrossBreeder?
Yes, you can. Try to enable or disable with huawei extended menu or use AdAway apps to disable hosts file and reboot to see result
Can I enable or disable feature of this all tweaks?
Yes, you can. Try to enable or disable with huawei extended menu
reserved
You should probably provide a link to your kernel source.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2015-07-16
Last Updated 2016-06-01
This GUIDE is aimed at users who want to REDUCE HEATING/TEMPERATURE & get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores much & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery, phone or fingers burning up)
NOTE: My tweaks are related to HARDWARE (CPU, GPU, IO & Screen) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS: : [1] Undervolting the CPU - to draw less power & run cooler
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete (& another 5 minutes if you need to install the Kernel)
STEP 1 - Flash ALUCARD's Kernel V3.4.108 (if you haven't already done so) from here (Thank's to @_Bon_Bon for the latest Kernel & permission to use his work)
Boot into recovery & flash the Zip (just like you flashed your ROM) - you will not lose any data at all
__________________________________________________
STEP 2 (AUTO MODE)
If you wish to get ALL my Kernel Tweaks in ONE STEP simply download this file OR download the default.zip (you need to unzip it) attachment
Save it to the root of your INTERNAL MEMORY (see screenshot on where it should be - you may already have a file with the same name there - please delete it)
Now open sTweaks -> select the BACKUP OR RESTORE tab -> Press RESTORE NOW
Wait 30 seconds.....
Now REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check the CPU Voltage are same as below (to be sure the settings are active) :good:
ALTERNATIVELY:....... (Manual mode - so you are involved in what is happening )
Open the sTweaks app -> CPU Voltage Control & put ON the CPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH
Now set voltages as below:
NOTE: (these are for a PVS2 & above chipset found in over 90% of i9505's)
IF you face any freezing+lines on screen (it is because of others tweaks/settings - please stick to just using my Kernel settings)
IF freezing still persists it means you have a PVS1 or PVS0 chip - simply add +25mV to each setting if that's the case
378 kHz 750000 uV
486 kHz 750000 uV
594 kHz 750000 uV
702 kHz 775000 uV
810 kHz 812500 uV
918 kHz 825000 uV
1026 kHz 850000 uV
1134 kHz 875000 uV
1242 kHz 887500 uV
1350 kHz 912500 uV
1458 kHz 950000 uV
1566 kHz 975000 uV
1674 kHz 1012500 uV
1782 kHz 1062500 uV
1890 kHz 1100000 uV
Now go to the GPU tab in sTweaks & put on the " GPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH"
Set GPU voltages as below
Level 1 895000 uV
Level 2 1000000 uV
Level 3 1100000 uV
Now Click on the CPU page & ensure ENABLE ON BOOT (Load all settings on Boot) & below it press LOAD ALL
REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check CPU Voltage (to be sure your above voltage settings are active) :good:
DONE !
I've overworked my phone for >100 hours & done over 55 full CPU/GPU stress tests with multiple CPU & benchmark tools to give you these STABLE final results.
With Games + Downloads + Benchmarking + Other apps + CPU Monitoring was running the CPU reached just 62C (see it in the screenshot attached)
I also took 2 back-to-back comparative benchmarks using AnTuTu & got 27,000 (an overall drop of just 6% from the initial 29,000)
RAM performance increases (cooler & more efficient) while Runtime & 3D performance loses out a little but this won't affect you unless you are into hardcore gaming/too much multi-tasking (if so then please do not reduce the GPU voltages)
Do share your results & experience - Happy tweaking folks! :highfive: & don't forget to hit that THANKS:good: button
This guide is aimed at users who want to get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery burning up)
NOTE: This only tweaks the HARDWARE (CPU, Screen, Vibrator) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS:
1) Exploiting the AMOLED screen - to display more black (pixels off) thus increase battery life
2) Adjusting simple accessible settings - to improve performance/battery
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete from you SETTINGS MENU
_____________________________________________
MOBILE NETWORKS -> Preferred 3G/2G (unless you really want 4G)
MORE -> NFC (Off)
CONFIGURATIONS -> MISCELLANEOUS -> Widgets/CLOCK widget Setting(increase update freq) , Vibrator Intensity (40%)
CONFIGURATIONS -> BUTTONS -> Navigation Bar Buttons (OFF if using Hardware keys)
CONFIGURATIONS-> HARDWARE KEYS (Enable if BUTTONS is OFF) -> Backlight (Enable for 1 second)
THEMES -> Install "Nicholas' Blacked Out" theme & Also "Pitch Black" wallpaper (from PLAY STORE)
DISPLAY -> Adaptive Brightness (ON) , Sleep (15s or 30s) , Daydream (OFF) , Ambient Display (ON)
SOUND & NOTIFICATION -> Other Sounds -> Touch Sounds (OFF), Vibrate on touch (OFF), Vibrate (OFF)
DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> Window Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Transition Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Animator duration scale (1 or OFF)
SUPER SU# -> Settings -> Enable Su during boot (ON)
DONE !!! :good::good:
Screenshot's attached!
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped. :good::fingers-crossed:
p.s : This also works on other ROM's where you have similar settings that you can toggle/edit

All the download links can be found from the thread OP
A SAFE Odin version can be downloaded from this thread
Thanks to the developer!
1. Before ROM Install
Updating your Modem and Bootloader
I’ve already made a guide on how, why and where to download your Modem and bootloader files, so go check it out here
I’ve also made an up-to date thread with links to latest modems and bootloaders, here
Installing / Upgrading your recovery

7. Browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and start the flash
8. Done!
Then boot into recovery if not already there
Converting / formatting filesystems to F2FS
Formatting filesystems as F2FS is suggested, if your ROM / Kernel supports it
This is done to improve speed and storage lifespan.
Code:
Filesystems that | Which
you can convert | Method
------------------------------------------------------
/cache | Format
/data | Format / Restore
/sdcard | Format
/system | Restore
/preload | Format
-------------------------------------------------------
EXT4 on /system is actually faster than F2FS, because it's a read only partition.
So, if you don't mess around with /system on a regular basis, converting it is not necessary.
Code:
[B] Converting filesystems through formatting: [/B]
1. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
2. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
3. Click Repair or Change File System
4. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 6
5. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
6. Done!
[B] Converting filesystems through restoring a backup: [/B]
1. Go to Backup and choose the partition(s) you want to convert and back them up
2. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
3. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
4. Click Repair or Change File System
5. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 10
6. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
7. Go to Settings and check: ”Use rm -rf instead of formatting”
8. Go to Restore and select the backup you made earlier
9. Restore the partition you converted to F2FS from that backup
10. Repeat above steps for all partitions you desire to convert / backed-up
11. Done!
Flash-able tweaks and mods
If you haven’t flashed your ROM and GAPPs yet, now is the time to do so
If the ROM doesn’t have a suggested GAPPs, choose Open GAPPs from the OP

Copy the text from this file and add them to the end of your /system/build.prop file, using a file manager. After you’re done, wipe /data/dalvik-cache and reboot your device.
([B][COLOR="Red"] ATTENTION This tweak is deprecated! Also: [/COLOR] If you flashed my The_Thing MOD, or have applied some other tweaks including build.prop, don’t use this file! [/B])
Additional tweaks
Some other small tweaks and tricks that aren’t that effective or aren’t suitable for the average user
You have been warned, some of the following TIPs aren’t suitable for everyone! So try them at your own risk!
Code:
1. Reducing resolution
Now, this boosts graphics performance A LOT, but can cause instability
You need a resolution changer app, I’d recommend NOMone Resolution
Changer from the Play Store
You have two choices, two thirds of the original resolution or three fourths
of the original resolution
(These two are the ones I chose, you can try out your own ones at your own risk)
Original
[ATTACH]3407082._xfImport[/ATTACH]
2/3
[ATTACH]3407084._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 720, Height = 1280, LCD Density = 360 / 330
Gives more performance, difference is hard to see
[B] (Some games and apps might not be supported with this resolution, like Dead Trigger 2) [/B]
In addition, if you think that the icons are too large, you can go back and change LCD Density to 330
3/4
[ATTACH]3407083._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 810, Height = 1440, LCD Density = 360
Gives performance, difference is impossible to see
3. Recommended and useful apps
sEFix, Entropy Tweaker
It’s a handy little app that changes Entropy generation threshold. Increasing Entropy generation threshold can reduce slowdowns while using apps that rely on randomly generated numbers.
Code:
1. Download the app from the Play Store, [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdvdev.sef"]here[/URL]
2. Open the app and move the slider, so the threshold shows 1024
3. Done!
Greenify, App Hibernator
Now then, we’ve all heard about the battery and performance boosting app, known as Greenify
It needs no introduction and no explanation, just go check out its XDA thread and enjoy your new found power!
Amplify, WakeLock stopper
Using this app you can prevent and customize what Wakelocks are allowed to happen and how often. It’s a handy app and worth your time, so go check out its website!
Power Nap For XPOSED
Yet another Wakelock blocker. This app lets you choose what applications that are allowed to cause Wakelocks and it blocks all others. Go check out its XDA thread!
4. Themes and personalization
This is why Android, for me anyways, it’s the best OS for your phone out there.
Customizations! Themes! Boot Animations! Endless possibilities!
So I challenge you, to tell us your favourite themes and layouts and leave links from where to find them! Some of them will be given a place in this guide!

as requested, my favourite theme MATERIAL GLASS by Pitched Apps
most themes I try have one tiny aspect like toggle colours and notifications tray that bug me. this theme I like on every screen, nice clean dark and simple...
compatible with layers manager RRO and CM 12.1 theme manager

CAMERA HACKS & MODS
If you face a Camera bug on any Lollipop ROM where hardware interface crashes after shooting some photos/videos & it says "UNABLE/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT TO CAMERA".
just reboot into recovery & flash this file
Your camera will NEVER crash again!!!! Credits to @AntaresOne
Samsung's Camera drivers are closed-source (locked) so custom ROM developers are not able to extract the full potential of the hardware (eg HDR & manual camera settings such as focal length etc.)
No Camera app can fix that issue - however I would recommend you use any of these Camera applications:
1)"OpenCamera" from Play store
2) Google Camera (preinstalled) for normal & panorama shots.
3) CM12 modded CameraNext v22 from this link
"CM Camera" is nice but again due to driver limitations it's features get limited & also Panorama sometimes crashes!
MODS/ZIPS
Here you'll find all my handy little mods and explanations what they do
I do accept request, just don't ask me to build an AI ;D
These mods require the latest busybox and init.d support!
Busybox
Don't have Busybox, or you don't like your current build? Then try mine!
It comes in 3 different builds to be used in different situations and is definitely worth your time
Now also includes a dynamic installer script! It can be used to install and update the build, so you only have to download the installer once!
SwaPa
Using this script the user can create a swap space into cache, from 50mb to 150mb.
Most users don't need it, as it's only useful if you're doing some serious multitasking or benchmarking.
When android runs out of physical memory (that rarely happens on our phone) it normally starts to kill any inactive background processes, but first gives them a chance to persist their progress (Caching or writing it down to /data) With swap, android moves the process to a swap file and retrieves it when it's needed again, so it acts like a slower version of RAM.
It also has the ability to remove all swap spaces, including Zram.
Zram is bad on a phone with a lot of physical ram (like ours) so it can be disabled. You can read more about it here.
Fstrim 3.0
When android deletes files it just writes 0 to the block where it was. This means that when android wants to rewrite to that block, it first has to completely empty it and this decreases performance. And someone could potentially recover the data that was on that block, possibly stealing personal information. So this script every 5 hours "trims" (clears blocks considered empty) /data, /system, /preload and /cache, prolonging your phones storage lifetime and improving performance. And it creates a log file to /data so you can see how much was "trimmed" You can read more about it here.
New feature! Cache dumping! Android caches apps for faster start-up and usage, but on some ROMs/Kernels this can cause lag after few days, or even few hours! Now this script dumps the cached ram for an instant speed boost!

Many thanks for doing this, makes things much easier to find and keep up to date now, a great help.
Sorry... misclicked
Will my s4 charge faster if i set the charging to 1900mA in the kernel?
Because i have a 4port usb charging port with an output of 3amps i believe.

@droidblitz you must keep the sTweaks settings for AC Charging at 1900mA in the Kernel & USB at 460mA
Only if you have a charger 1.9A charger only will it charge super-fast to full capacity - BUT it will also heat up the circuits & it's not advisable to use the phone at such times.
P.S - I don't have the original charger (nor do I have the original battery) so I use a 1A charger to fill the battery & it does the job in a few hours (around 4-5 hrs I guess) and it doesnt heat the battery or circuits much (which means my battery will last me much much longer)

Ohh i thought it was not really working.
Gonna try it with 1900mA besides im putting my phone on top of a laptop cooler when its charging. To keep it cool while playing.

Excellent move making your own thread, it will be a lot easier to find stuff now @bon_bon @Shade5
Thanks @Corduroysack . Hope this makes a lot of people happy... Another guide will be posted by me today
I'm away for the weekend so will check back on Sunday night ?
Alucard kernel works on GPE ?

No, it's for cm12.1 :/
Hope I helped :3
After I flash the Alucard Kernel, I go to STweaks to load the profile but it says no kernel support?
I had that, but if I went back to it after 30 seconds or so it showed all the settings. Check SELinux is set to permissive as well.

CPU GOVERNORS SUPPORTED
1) Ondemand:
Default governor in almost all stock kernels. One main goal of the ondemand governor is to switch to max frequency as soon as there is a CPU activity detected to ensure the responsiveness of the system.
2) Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery. The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor. It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization. However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually. Simply put, this governor increases the frequency step by step on CPU load and jumps to lowest frequency on CPU idle
3) Interactive:
Can be considered a faster ondemand. So more snappier, less battery. Interactive is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads. Instead of sampling at every interval like ondemand, it determines how to scale up when CPU comes out of idle
Features
1) CPU Governors Optimized for better battery saving
2) Enabled dimmer blacklight to save battery
3) faster internet speed
4) Fstrim data,cache,system included
5) Completely Stop and Disable performance daemon at boot
6) Killed GAPPS processes that drains battery
