I put together a simple custom voltage interface which can be used to change both the ARM (CPU) and the internal voltage. It is the perfect companion for LiveOC, but does not depend on it.
In /sys/class/misc/customvoltage the ARM and internal voltages for the different frequency states are set by passing a string of voltage values in mV to armvolt or intvolt (for example 'echo "1250 1200 1000 950 950" > armvolt').
This should work no matter the number of frequency states implemented in the kernel. This replaces the custom UV interface most kernels have implemented and both tweaks do not work together. So if you decide to include this tweak, you will have to remove the other and this will break the voltage control with SetCPU and Proton. and it is compatible to SetCPU and similar tools.
Changes to the source: http://www.pastie.org/2806507
BUGFIX:
Made Custom Voltage compatible with the typical CPUfreq UV interface (UV_mV_table) found in many kernels thus making it compatible with SetCPU and similar tools.
Bugfix: http://www.pastie.org/2806920
BUGFIX #2:
Added the entries 'max_arm_volt' and 'max_int_volt' to the sysfs interface which can be used to change the maximum values allowed for the ARM and internal voltages.
Bugfix: http://www.pastie.org/2812494
No further patches will be published here. I have set up a git repo for all my tweaks. Each mod has its own branch to keep the tweaks cleanly separated and one can simply pull the latest patches from the corresponding branch.

The ARM voltage is for the CPU, the internal voltage for the bus (and also GPU I believe). If you increase the bus/GPU speeds with LiveOC you might have to increase the internal voltages additionally to the ARM voltages to get it stable.
Made a small improvement.
Added the entries 'max_arm_volt' and 'max_int_volt' to the sysfs interface which can be used to change the maximum values allowed for the ARM and internal voltages.

Hey all,
i am searching for something special, which none of the well known kernel designers could offer. I myself cant create kernels
Here is what i am looking for:
Device: Nexus FroYo with root
Kernel features:
OC: 1.13 GHZ
UV: 800mV

Is there anyone that could create a working Kernel with the given features?
Thx a lot

With Froyo, you dont need OC... I thought I NEEDED it... but with SetCPU on active you'll see that the phone really only needs to run around the 245Mhz mark on the home screen and it'll rarely use all 998Mhz that it has...

Wait for Ivan to update his kernel. He's been MIA though. Maybe he's dealing with real life. Look for his kernels a couple pages back and PM him. Or maybe send an email.

I agree with not really needing OC on froyo but I guess its nice to have the option so here yah go
http://www.mediafire.com/?tzxwm0mjweo
Flash through the recovery menu or push to the phone just like you do with Raven's kernels but make sure you do a nandroid backup just in case something happens.
You didn't specify if you wanted BFS or CFS so I used CFS in this because personally I think CFS runs better overall on froyo.
(Although BFS really makes the launcher super silky smooth, it really chugs when I try to load Flash content in the browser but maybe this is happening to me only, I don't know )

I compiled it using the code that Raven publicly provides on his Github (latest as of 5/27/2010) and i added the overclocking code that you requested.
http://github.com/intersectRaven/ir-kernel-2.6.34/commits/master/
So it has everything that Raven's kernel has like the audio boost, 21MB ram, optimization flags, etc.
I decided to give this a try. Running great so far. Not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but it definitely feels snappier with that added .1 ghz.

Nice, glad to hear it working out well so far for someone. Yah, after testing this out for a day I notice the same thing, a little more responsive, linpack has increased from 36ish to around 40 and flash heavy sites load quicker.
I'll probably use this kernel in my phone now for everyday use but use SetCPU to keep it at 998MHz until I need that little extra boost.
(Reason being because in order to run at 1113MHz the AVS has to boost the voltage up even higher then usual to keep it stable.)
Hm. Didn't know that, the voltage. Thanks.

I guess there are those few who see better battery life when using 800 .
Personally I use 950 because 800 makes my radio erratically switch between 2G and 3G in my workplace which in turn causes a big drain on my battery. This doesn't occur when I'm home though, probably because I'm so close to a cell tower.

THANKS a LOT! Its working really good.
And to thos with the 950>800 opinion, i thought this at well, but, i testet so much kernels now, with my usage parameters and it worked better with an 800mV
Wildmonky, any chance you could also make an BFS Version?
I think you should give both kernels then to raven to add em to his repo! They are GREAT!

Raven really hates overclocking so this will never be in his repo. But what I might end up doing is compile and upload to mediafire when a new update is out, if there is enough interest in this.

What did you need done?
Here we go - What I believe is the first custom kernel built from source for GT-N7000 ICS.
READ THIS POST INCLUDING KNOWN ISSUES BEFORE POSTING!
Driving Always For User Quality - DAFUQ!!!!
This is built by applying some small fixes to the GT-I9100 update4 source base so that the stylus and charger drivers build properly.
Source code is at: https://github.com/Entropy512/kernel_galaxys2_ics/commits/entropy_kernel_main
Initramfs git is at: https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_galaxynote_ics/commits/master
It has been tested so far with Criskelo's XXLPY-based release, but should work with most other Touchwiz-based N7000 ICS releases. AOSP firmwares are not supported by this kernel. They may boot and sort-of run, but no bug reports will be accepted if you're running an AOSP-based firmware. No bootloader flashing is required.
Features:
See my I777 ICS kernel thread for now - it's built off of the same source base (but N7000 users should post here)
The one specific feature I should advertise here - This is built from I9100 Update4 sources. This appears to be the only source base so far for Samsung Exynos4 kernels that doesn't carry a high risk of permanent damage to your eMMC chip. (e.g. it should be safe from all of the nightmares people have encountered with ICS leaks here, however I cannot make any guarantees.)
Known issues:
Some of you are used to kernels that autoroot a ROM for you - this one will not and never will especially now that two different Superuser packages exist. Flash SuperSU or Superuser in CWM, pick your poison.
Camera preview is black
Hardware accelerated video display is not working
Because of these known issues, the primary use for this kernel is to reset the flash counter with TriangleAway (which DOES work on this kernel)
Change Log
5/27/2012:
Pulled in some changes from the N7000 source release. Wifi and speakerphone are now working with XXLPY, however - hwaccel video is still broken.
Fixing hwaccel video requires major work or just trashing everything and starting from the N7000 source release and readding features there.
5/2/2012:
Charging now works normally. It turns out some devices have an SMB136 charger, others have an SMB328 - Now both are enabled.
4/26/2012:
Call audio fixed (Note only)
Bumped first GPU step default up to 100 MHz from 66 (Note only)
Increased conservative governor freq step from 5% to 10%
4/24/2012:
Initial release
FAQ
Q: What's up with the name?
A: Since I run CM9, this can no longer be considered my "daily driver" - so the Daily Driver name no longer really applies. I haven't picked a good name yet, expect this to change with my mood. Names may get more sensible as the mental damage caused by watching the ZOMBIE ASS trailer heals.

See the I777 thread and the git commits for what's in there.
It is in general battery-optimized - Mali 3-step defaults are battery-oriented, default governor is a tuned conservative, reduce the polling interval of it for better results.
As this is built off of I9100 sources, there might be some Note-specific things missing. I never did Gingerbread kernel development on the Note. One thing is - this should not burn out your eMMC like many of the leaks can.

It is in general battery-optimized - Mali 3-step defaults are battery-oriented, default governor is a tuned conservative, reduce the polling interval of it for better results.

its usable for sure, was definitely not saying it wasnt. cant wait to see where this goes from here. i know an ics kernel from source is probably the only thing stopping official cm build.

disregard the stutter post lol. went intio setcpu and changed to ondemand and this thing is butter smooth. and undervolts

I'm working with codeworkx and xplodwild on getting that going. I need to clean up extract-files.sh and the vendor/prop repo, among a few other things. I won't have time to work it the next few days though.
If you want to improve performance, try bumping up the GPU frequency for the lowest step and reduce its staycount to 0. For battery-saving purposes, the first GPU step is a bit on the low side. I might bump it up a little, there's a BIG jump between 66 and 100 MHz.
Instead of being 166/266 MHz, it's 66/166/266 MHz. Should improve screen-on battery life.

ok, so for ~5 seconds after you unlock the phone there is a noticeable stutter during transitions, even using ondemand.
scrolling is very smooth tho, even in plume...
Try increasing the frequency for the lowest GPU step, or reduce its staycount to 0.
Another option, try conservative but change freq_step to 15. I'm probably going to change that as the default.
Where can I find a nightly build to get initial extract-files ?

seems the same using conservative with freq_step at 15. the first time you open the app drawer it stutters but the 2nd and 3rd times it get smoother til it doesnt stutter any more. turn the screen off and back on and its the same again.

First time posting here. And first time user of custom ROMs.
I recently unlocked my Incredible S and flashed VivoKat 4.4 by szezso on it. It is a nice build and most things work in beta quite well; however, I don't have permissions to post on that board to report bugs and ask other build related questions, like how is battery life compared to other ROMs.
I noticed I barely get 1 battery charge per day, whereas I used to get 2 days with my old gingerbread.
So I was wondering if I should go with an older ROM, feature complete, that might have better battery life. If so, which build do you recommend?
Thanks
PS: to the guys on the VivoKat thread (since I can't post there), here are some of the bigger bugs I found:
- microphone doesn't work on speaker mode
- physical buttons don't work if you disable touch-vibration on them
- main screen icons/shortcuts disappear from time to time if the apps crash
Question:
- to install today's update of VivoKat do I need to wipe everything (all data) and flash the new version, or can I update without wiping everything clean?
- I have the full "ROM manager" app, but it doesn't find updates for this build. Will that be available at some point?
(I really like the look of 4.4 on this custom ROM so it's be nice to help out with finding bugs - good work szezso)

That's the actual battery life. With each new android version, you have a lot more processes running in the background. A lot more Google processes too
It should be ok to just flash the update, but if you run into bugs, don't report them as developers don't have a way of telling whether its from issues caused from dirty flash or from the actual ROM itself.
No it will never be available in the ROM manager app. ROM Manager does not search XDA for ROMs and VivoKat is ported by Szeszo personally.
Thanks.
That answers my questions.
And battery life improved after turning off "Location"
You can also log-out from different accounts such as fb, and so one. some of apps are eating battery. For example some email clients...
moreover, you can turn off wifi
you use Vivokat as your daily driver, that one seems still in beta stage
according to my search, i have see many kernel of the ROM is overclock feature.
but the overclock is power consumption.
for now i have using the cyanvivo,
i de-overclock his GPU and it seems become normal.

Overclocking uses more battery because of both freq and voltage
Simple equation is this
Power used= freq * voltage^2
So if you lower the voltage to the same as the prev max freq, then you will be using more power still. Just fyi cause I don't think it's ever been brought up around here

according to my test, i just lower the frequency to the normal.
and it actually consume less power.
so de-overlock is work for me.

The Gpu oc is not really overclock, it's forcing to 245mhz to up performance
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i did not explain my kernel.
the kernel that i using is default overclocking.
my work just tweak it to the normal.
before tuning, in idle situation, one day could consume a battery.
after tuning, a battery could use more than one day.
i just want it back to normal.
i do not know that it is really OC, but according to my test.
the frequency is actually higher that it default.
up to 353Mhz, default is 245M.
so i could sure it is overclocking.
this data is collected in it's kernel, the real runtime data.

OK, i will.
the most benefit thing to me for now is to create other branch that did not overclock the GPU.
it will help solve the battery consume problem.
And split the kernel version, i need to manually search commit to find the cm 10.2's kernel.

I've used quite a few kernel tuning apps, including your own, and no matter what i try, my settings won't restore on boot for one, and two, no matter what I set my min/max CPU to it will randomly jump back up to 1728 Min and 2803 Max and change my governor to interatcive. I'll notice my battery draining quicker, that's when I catch it and adjust it down. What am I doing wrong?

Hi twistedumbrella
I have a question.
Is there any benefit whatsoever in flashing any custom
kernels if the user never plans to modify or change any
of the default settings in the custom kernel?
If it's beneficial to flash a custom kernel without changing
any of the kernel's default settings what are the benefits?
Thanks!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The advantage to a custom kernel is the updated code. Even if defaults are left as is, they are not necessarily stock features. Stock kernels are only released with firmware updates, so a lot of the Linux updates can take a long time to arrive. Sometimes the carrier or manufacturer may not even perform Linux or upstream updates, only what it took to match any system changes.
Custom kernels often include additional battery saving or performance updates from the community. These updates may never be officially submitted. These updates may also be too specialized for the "general" kernel most manufacturers maintain, so they are intentionally bypassed.
Configuration is personal preference based on intended use. There is no benefit to using defaults other than lack of desire to customize. The defaults are generally what will be just enough of a starting point for everyone to easily tweak it to their desires, not necessarily what is best.
I configure my defaults based on averages. Some use what they consider the best overall setup for typical usage. Some aim for a specific usage scenario. I have to reconfigure the settings when I install because the defaults don't fit how I use the device (testing games for class projects).
It really is about finding what works for you even by trial and error.

It's being fixed. It was an issue with the defaults for umbrella_core. Temporary solution is to change governors.
Its stuck for me with every governor...... Just reverted... Anyway this kernel doesn't have BFQ... What's the next best scheduler for HD video recording.. Or are any if the included schedulers based off bfq? I just want to assign it as my SD cards scheduler because that's where I record everything .

It's just a lot of busy work. Since it's online, we have to record presentations, record an explanation of all our changes, demonstrate the code in action, talk about plans, etc.
After all that I have to question why I had to submit an outline, repo, and binary. It's not like they're going to read the book when they can watch the movie instead.
Pushing an update now that appears to have resolved the issue. It was not the governors at all. Like any other frequency or screen issue thus far, it was hardlimit
I understand completely. I have an IT degree and been working in IT professionally since 1987. It has served me well so far.
After a lot of digging for where something is setting 1497600 (1.49) because the one place I had has long since been removed, I came across:
Code:
#define MIN_TOUCH_LOW_LIMIT 1497600
in cpufreq.h which is part of the stock kernel code. This is used to make sure that when the screen is being used, the CPU ramps up enough to make sure touch is smooth. That is NOT something I added into the kernel. Hardlimit added the capability to adjust these values, but they are still being set by waking the phone.
Anyway, the point is that I am doing what I can to resolve them getting "stuck" on this value, but the purpose of this post is to say that it may still be a "favored" value, but that is just how Samsung intended it.
custom kernel
WHY does this kernel go makes my cpu only go from 1497 MHz to 2457 MHz???
Even if I change the frequency of the cpu to max 2.8 GHz and min 268 MHz, it stays from 1497 and 2457MHz.

Ouch. That is like "can anyone verify this developer is worthless?"
Anyway, there is an untested update being pushed. The untested part should fix the frequency issue. It's untested because the change is swapping two lines. High was getting written to low and low to high. The result was everything reading invalid and defaulting to mid.
