LuPuS-ARC/S-STOCK KERNEL HERE!!
LuPuS-JB-CM10/AOKP KERNEL HERE
Hi most of you already know my LuPuS-Stock kernel so thought i'd make one for you all that will work with any
cm9 based roms such as AOKP-by Supervenom and Paranoid Android, and obviously CM9 as well. Just wanna say a
big thanks to FXP - Jerpelea for pointing me in the rite direction for wifi to work
and of course the people who help me test besttt and sinkster for testing on both ARC-S and ARC
What i'm going to do is just update this by the end of the week to add everything else in.
So here is whats added so far but first it has to be done ------------

Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Superbad -
A "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
Darkside -
A "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
What else-----
-SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-(both)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).
- Added Cleancache
- Supports ext 2,3
- Updated zRam
- Lzo compression/decompression speed has doubled on average.
- Init.d support
- Fudgeswap
- And much more
- O/C and stable upto 2ghz, although I do not recommend O/C to 2ghz for long periods of time, do so at your own risk.
Show your support for the kernel and my work by putting this in your signature, its only a quick one I done up with my limited time

Wifi modules in attachments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check your MD5 match the above if not re-download
Zram is not enabled by default- to enable it flash the zip below
If for whatever reason you want to disable it after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram :victory:
CIFS
The attached zip for CIFS is not a flashable zip read below
Make sure you download Cifs-v2 if your using v2 of kernel
What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Instructions
- extract cifsfile.zip from below
- save cifs,ko file to your sdcard
- in terminal emulator
- cd sdcard
- su
- insmod cifs.ko
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it

seeing how there's an overwhelming amount of governors and schedulers lol can anyone recommend a combination for bother performance and battery?
btw why is there only 341 MB of ram instead of the usual 360 MB..

Less ram because of 720p recording, was going to remove it but though people would want it, fxp have re-added it to fxp137, I can i Ilsa remove it for next release of people don't want it.
As for governors for performance I recommend intellidemand, superbad, darkside or battery life smartass, smartassv2 or virtuous. And keep SIO as scheduler it default in all my kernels

Left it overnight, 3g on, sync on, bad ass/noop. Battery drained 11% over 10 hours, which is great compared to any cm9 previously.
Someone tried this on Arc S with the cm9 wi-fi problem (getting ip address loop)?

No problem, unfortunately I do not plan on making one for CM7, I've had this request for the play also. CM9 is stable so no need for cm7. I do not have time to maintain any more kernels cm 10 kernel will be out this week and that will take my. Kernels to 10, I simply don't have the time, and besides I'll get in Trouble with the missus.......sorry

These kernels are provided as-is without warranty. I'm not responsible for any problem you can encounter with your phone or if your cat suddenly dies.
Although, don't expect support even if I will eventually help since I love cats.
Note : These kernels are only compatible with CM7 and MIUI roms !

Overview :
- Up to 1.7GHz CPU OC with added bus/GPU OC (Thanks to morfic for the great base of work)
- Undervolting using Pimp my CPU or Voltage Control
- Voodoo Sound - & Voodoo Color, using VC versions (Thanks Supercurio & renaudallard)
- FPS uncap (Screen running 68Hz instead of 60Hz, from 56 to 66 FPS max) from JPX source
- Various tweaks for more smoothness and reliability
- LED notifications
CHANGELOGS IN #2 POSTThe frequency/voltage & informative UV settings table is as follow for latest kernel :
Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1700 MHz - [email protected] 243 MHz - 1.500v / -> Most phones will fail here. -25 to -50mV may help to stabilize. Much stabler as unique frequency for benchmarks.
1600 MHz - [email protected] 229 MHz - 1.500V / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - [email protected] 250 MHz - 1.500V / -25mV
1440 MHz - [email protected] 240 MHz - 1.475V / -50mV
1400 MHz - [email protected] 233 MHz - 1.450V / -50mV
1300 MHz - [email protected] 217 MHz - 1.400V / -50mV
1200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.350V / -50mV
1000 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.250V / -50mV - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.200V / -75mV
400 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.050V / -100mV
200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 0.950V / -150mV
100 MHz - [email protected] 100 MHz - 0.950V / -200mV - (can be very different between two devices)
GPU frequency is linked to bus speed
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.

V12 BETA 2 REQUIRES FROYO BOOTLOADER !
- 13/08/2011 - V12 beta 2(High leakage)
OLDER RELEASESFTP ROOT (all kernels are here)[/INDENT]
FAQ :
What are the differences between High, Medium and Low leakage ?
All produced chips aren't equal, and some will be "better shaped" than others, using power more efficiently and heating less. This new concept I added in V11 tends to cover most chips, depending on their quality.
The idea is to modify some internal voltage values of the SoC to help a good CPU in a poor environment (GPU/controller/memory) to shine. Of course it won't do miracles if your CPU is poor to begin with, but it's a very rare case.
Low leakage chips are the best on the paper, needing less volts and heating less than others.
High leakage represents the majority of produced chips in our SGS.
I found with beta testers that even if a chip looks poor at OC/UV at first, it'll generally have much potential still. I was able to get a 1.2GHz no UV max stable GS to 1.5GHz -50mV rock solid, and even able to push 1.7GHz for benchmarking and other tests using this new concept.
Of course this is all new and it'll take some time and heavy testing to find best settings for most devices, but I think it's a very interesting thing, and I hope I'll be able to find a way to change modes on-the-fly, making this function a must in the future especially in OC/UV kernels.
How do I enable logcat in V11+ ?
In V11, the logger is now built as a module to lower overhead and to help battery life.
To enable it, just open a terminal emulator and type "logcat-on", then reboot.
To disable it, type "logcat-off" instead. (without quotes !)
I get reboots when I try to load Voodoo Sound module !
This function, available in Voodoo Control Plus app, is ONLY for kernels NOT SUPPORTING Voodoo Sound (like stock CM7 kernel for example). You'll only generate conflicts trying to load this module. Voodoo Sound is built-in on Glitch kernel and nothing more has to be loaded for it to work.

go flash the worst kernel you can, for vibrant wait a hour, you can easily tell how good or bad battery life is.its not exact to the point and is very inaccurate, but it does giveyou a sense of how much it lasts.

Actually, YES!
go flash the worst kernel you can, for vibrant wait a hour, you can easily tell how good or bad battery life is.its not exact to the point and is very inaccurate, but it does giveyou a sense of how much it lasts.
Don't you try to troll me.
I'm one of the only trolls on vibrant section and I'll kick your vibrants bump on the back.

To a point your right, you can get a general "vibe" of how the Vibrant kernel will perform for battery (See what I did there? XD)
What you will get is a low end estimate of how it will perform.
As far as data is concerned check the settings, also what nightly are you on

The rom you're using has the older rils and modem partioning that's not compatible with new kernels.

Important:
There are no other features than mentioned in the changelog. I restarted the kernel and I think I wont add OC etc. This kernel is not ready yet but damn stable and fast. No need to oc anything (my opinion).
For brightness (gamma) adjustment: You will notice a heavy brightness drop between lowest and lowest +1 step brightness. The one before the lowest was the lowest brightness that comes with normal cm kernel. I will make a better transition between the last two steps within the next update.

Greenblob kernel control:
This is the official app to control all features of Greenblob kernel (for now available on Galaxy S2G, visit XDA for infos).
But most features can also be used on any other device! (Ok, not any but for a big number).
You can:
- Change status of tweaks
- Cpu OC
- GPU OC
- Change voltage
Installation:
As usual: Flash the flashable .zip in cwm. Only working on aosp jellybean roms!
Download:
Download here
FAQ:
How do i change voltage?
Use the latest version of setcpu, leantweaks, cputuner, or your ROM's built-in tools.
Do i need to wipe dalvik/cache?
In general there's no need, but it doesn't hurt so if you have time go ahead. Posted Image I don't wipe.
What's the variable on the GPU OC?
The kernels GPU is now set to stock 307Mhz by default. You can adjust that by using Variable GPU OC (see a separate FAQ entry below).
When you go from say 307 to 512Mhz, you will not experience near double performance increase. Due to the factors outside the GPU module (ie. memory bandwidth limitation), you can't truly OC the GPU. In fact, most people can't tell the difference between 307, 384 and 512. Nenamark2 will roughly give you the following scores: 307/25fps, 384/28fps, and 512/31fps.
Some of you have seen the note from Colin, the Google kernel engineer, not to OC the GPU because using the OV_UV voltage slot will drain the battery. Greenblob kernel uses the same voltage for both OV and OV_UV slots. So there's no danger of battery drain there.
My phone doesn't seem to be deep-sleeping, what gives?
(assuming you checked in the right place like cpuspy) In terms of deep-sleep, there's not a whole lot going on in the kernel. It works or it doesn't - and I can assure you that I test every release (well almost every release) for deep-sleep before I release.
19 out of 20 times it's either 1) some sort of background process that's preventing your phone from going into deepsleep, or 2) something's misconfigured in your ROM, or both. Also connecting to USB will prevent phone from going into deepsleep.
I'm having unusual battery drain - help!
First of all, our i9100g (AS every Smartphone ^^) has very poor battery life while in active use. It's downright horrible while screen is on - screen is definitely the main culprit and there's not a whole lot I can do about that.
Custom undervolting can help or can hurt. This is mainly due to SmartReflex (class1.5) which auto-calibrates the ideal voltages for you. In fact, with SR you don't really need to use the custom undervolting feature for frequencies other than the 2 lowest. It does a great job calibrating higher frequencies. I personally don't touch it.
The "notrim" versions are an exception because I had to disable SR1.5 for the trim override to work. There's no auto-calibration going on there. Feel free to mess with custom undervolting on the notrim versions.
Now, if you've already accepted the horrible battery life while screen is on, but have questions about battery drain while idle - read the next question.
I'm having unusual battery drain while screen is off, or phone is sleeping - help!
First, let's find out if you're phone is going into deep-sleep. Install CPUSpy, unplug phone, turn off screen, and leave the phone alone for 5-10min. Turn the screen back on, launch CPUSpy, and see if you see an active entry for Deep Sleep. If so congratulations - read on.
If you've determined that your phone is not entering deepsleep by using the above method, read my entry above that says "My phone doesn't seem to be deep-sleeping". I've heard that removing SDM.apk helps as well as rebooting the phone. Also try turning your bluetooth on and off, and launching camera app and closing it.
If you've determined that your phone is entering deepsleep fine but still feel like battery drains, read the next question.
I'm having unusual battery drain while phone is in deep-sleep - help!
First make sure you are absolutely positive that deep sleep is working (read the previous question).
While on my kernel *and* connected to Wifi, you shouldn't drain more than 2% battery per hour *average* while in deep sleep (based on 5-8 hour continuous deep sleep). With wifi turned-off, my guess is probably no more than 3-6% per hour, depending on signal strength.
tip 1: If above is not happening for you, first charge the phone all the way and reboot. Let things settle a bit - give it a day or so. If you're using Battery Monitor Widget (which is not accurate for gnex), things should eventually settle between -2mA and -60mA per sample.
tip 2: Install BetterBatteryStats and look at which wakelocks dominate. Google search for names of the wakelocks to see how you can fix them.
tip 3: http://checkthis.com/d87t
If nothing seems to help, you can try the "notrim" version, but stick to speeds between 350 and 1350 (don't use OC slots). The notrim version has SR1.5 disabled which could help for those of you with drain issues on my other kernels.
What is SmartReflex?
SmartReflex performs continuous dynamic voltage scaling around the nominal operating point voltage according to silicon characteristics and operating conditions.
My stable and experimental builds will have SR Class 1.5 enabled by default.
You can disable SR via sysfs
How do I use Variable GPU OC?
You can use Lean Tweaks by Jake, or use the built-in "oc" script. Both leantweaks and my oc script will create an init.d script so the setting sticks at boot. My "checkt" script will also show the current GPU max speed. Note that 512MHz will probably not work for everyone.
307Mhz (stock) is set default by the kernel.
Open Terminal, and type for stock speed of 307Mhz: oc gpu 0
for 384MHz: oc gpu 1
for 512Mhz: oc gpu 2
FAQ partly taken from leankernel! I changed the important parts for us! Thanks to them! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790675
An app for variable gpu oc is already in progress! For now please read the FAQ

Pure, powerful and fast as hell.
These shall be the characteristics of my HellSpawn kernel for the Nexus 4 (MAKO).
Why another kernel for the Nexus 4?
Answer is simple.. why not! I started to look around for an appropriate kernel which could be an enrichment in my BeanStalk ROM (abbr. BS). One of the fastest candidates has definitely been the hells-Core kernel. But I didn't want to depend on other devs, hence I decided to start my own project based on the awesome work by hellsgod (big thanks to you!).
Your constant feedback is welcome and essential for the further development! Even if I probably cannot fulfil the wishes by everyone, I am trying to consider the most promising features requested. However, I will try to keep the number of new features limited in order to not bloat up the kernel which could easily result in a degradation of its stability.
I am looking forward to fruitful discussions with you and figuring what the hell turn out to be the most suitable kernel features in terms of performance and battery life!
Note: This kernel is compatible with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and with Android 7.x (Nougat). Please pay attention which build you are downloading. Builds for Android 7.x might be backwards compatible.

** Intellimm: fully sync w/dorimanx
** Alucard: tune for performance and to reduce idle drain. enable io is busy on alucard.
** Introduce Interactive: reduce timer with screen off (might be interesting for people who are listening music and experience audio issues due to measures for power saving while screen is off)
r11 dev notes:
I have tried many things & tested a lot of different configurations recently, e.g. to add back cpuboost driver, and also to add msm_limiter (replacement for msm_sleeper). Also worth to mention.. I have stabilized intelli_plug, which was temporarily added into r11-test-builds, but then it turned out that it has had impacts on the overall performance.. all those cool stuff didn't help to further improve this kernel, so I decided to abandon it in the official r11 build.
At this point I would like to thank two awesome guys: @dragos281993 @Cristiano Lira who supported me extremely with testing and help me on the right track! BTW, I am constantly measuring changes with help of Antutu and my own eyes..
Rumors:
Last but not least.. You might be interested in learning about how my "experiments" with lazyplug have went. Well, there is not much to say, except for it didn't work. And hence I decided to give up.

Why do I need so many different CPU governors and what are they for?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1: OnDemand
Ondemand is one of the original and oldest governors available on the linux kernel. When the load placed on your CPU reaches the set threshold, the governor will quickly ramp up to the maximum CPU frequency. It has excellent fluidity because of this high-frequency bias, but it can also have a relatively negative effect on battery life versus other governors. OnDemand was commonly chosen by smartphone manufacturers in the past because it is well-tested and reliable, but it is outdated now and is being replaced by Google's Interactive governor.
2: Performance
The performance governor locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency.
3: Conservative
This governor biases the phone to prefer the lowest possible clockspeed as often as possible. In other words, a larger and more persistent load must be placed on the CPU before the conservative governor will be prompted to raise the CPU clockspeed. Depending on how the developer has implemented this governor, and the minimum clockspeed chosen by the user, the conservative governor can introduce choppy performance. On the other hand, it can be good for battery life.
The Conservative Governor is also frequently described as a "slow OnDemand". The original and unmodified conservative is slow and inefficient. Newer and modified versions of conservative (from some kernels) are much more responsive and are better all around for almost any use.
4: Interactive
Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set by the kernel developer (or user). In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. It is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency.
Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above.
Interactive is the default governor of choice for today's smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
5: BadAss (has been removed in r11)
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit with high load, then the frequency is bumped. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 1-2 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)
Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu to max frequency. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
6: Pegasusq
The Pegasusq is a multi-core based on the Ondemand governor and governor with integrated hot-plugging. It is quite stable and has the same battery life as Ondemand. Ongoing processes in the queue, we know that multiple processes can run simultaneously on. These processes are active in an array, which is a field called "Run Queue" queue that is ongoing, with their priority values arranged (priority will be used by the task scheduler, which then decides which process to run next).
To ensure that each process has its fair share of resources, each will run for a certain period and will eventually stop and then again placed in the queue until it is your turn again. If a program is terminated, so that others can run the program with the highest priority in the current queue is executed.
7: Smartmax
Smartmax is a mix between Ondemand and Smartassv2. It behaves mostly like Smartass with the concept of an "ideal" frequency. By default this is configured for battery saving, so this is NOT a gaming or benchmark governor! Additionally, to make it "snappy", Smartmax has "touch poke". So input events from the touchscreen will boost the cpu for a specific time to a specific frequency. Developed by XDA user Maxwen.
8: IntelliMM
A rewrite of the old Min Max governor and has 3 cpu states: Idle, UI and Max. Intelliminmax (intellimm) governor is designed to work with the newer SOCs with fixed voltage rails (ie MSM8974+ SOCs). It is designed to work within those fixed voltage ranges in order to maximize battery performance while creating a smooth UI operations. It is battery friendly and spends most of the time at lower frequencies.
9: Impulse
An improved version of interactive modified by neobuddy89. Impulse aims to have a balance between battery and performance just like interactive but has some tweaks to save battery.
10: ElementalX
The ElementalX CPU governor has been specifically designed and tuned to get the best balance between battery life and performance. By default, it is more conservative than Ondemand. During routine usage, the CPU frequency does not ramp up very often. If gboost is enabled, during gaming or any other graphics intensive situation, the CPU frequencies boost much easier in order to maintain maximum performance. There is also a built in input boost.
11: Alucard
A favourite choice and one of the original governors that Alucard_24 made. Alucard is based on ondemand but has been heavily tweaked to bring better battery life and performance. It has been known to be battery friendly without sacrificing much performance.
12: Hellsactive
A heavily modified intelliactive governor by hellsgod that has been tweaked to improve battery life. Hellsactive is less aggressive compared to intelliactive so the battery life will be more like the original interactive.
Why do I need so many different GPU governors and what are they for?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1: Simple
It's a new governor for the gpu frequency scaling. It will allow a more fine grained control over how the gpu scales up and down then the previous ones. Depending how you tune it, it can be better for battery life or performance.
2: Ondemand
Much like the CPU governor, Ondemand will ramp up the frequency when a load is detected. A good balance between performance and battery savings. This is a widely used governor in qualcomm devices.
3: Powersave
Like the CPU governor, this keeps your GPU running at the lowest possible frequency. Best battery life, extreme lag in games.
4: Conservative
Like the CPU governor, this one is the opposite of Interactive; it is slow to ramp up the frequency, then quickly drops the frequency once the GPU is no longer under a certain threshold of load.
5: Performance
As the name suggests, this keeps your GPU running at the max frequency. This is a governor if you want the best possible experience in games but you don't care about your battery life.
Why do I need so many different CPU Hotplug drivers and what are they for?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1: MPDecision (disabled by intension -- do not even think of enabling it)
Qualcomm's default hotplugging driver. One of the most widely used hotplug drivers in all android devices.
2: Alucard-Hotplug
A great hotplugging driver by Alucard. It is known to be very battery friendly on devices.
3: Mako-Hotplug
A new popular hotplugging driver found in Francokernel. This is a highly configurable driver that can be configured to use dual core for light-loads and quad-core for heavy loads.
4: Zen-Decision
ZEN only onlines all cores when screen is on, it also takes thermal events into account and wont online any core back, if you're under 15% battery, or currently have a thermal event because of heat. So in the end it isn't a "real" hotplug driver, because it doesnt have any code for active hot plugging in it. That means you can't change its behavior.
5: Bricked Hotplug (has been temporary added, but then removed again from this kernel)
Conservative hotplug driver by showp1984. It is based on mpdecision but has been optimized for better balance between battery life and performance.
6: msm_sleeper (always on by default)
The main feature with this hotplug is that you can customize the screen off frequency. Two cores are always on, the third and fourth are independent and come online if needed. By default, if the load is over 80 for 400ms another core comes online. The third and/or fourth cores stay online as long as the load demands it or for a minimum of one second. While the screen is off, it goes down to a single core. Created by flar2.
7: AutoSMP
A highly-efficient hotplug driver by mrg666, works in-sync with the CPU governor to enable off-line cpu cores when the the CPU frequency reaches a high threshold and still more compute power is needed. Therefore, touch boost bloat is removed.
What are recommended settings for performance?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For a good performance you don't have to tweak anything, but use my defaults (AutoSMP/Hellsactive).
Using ElementalX as CPU governor will apply a GPU boost when GPU is at max power which should have a positive effect on gaming performance.
Using Pegasusq as CPU governor allows you to reach the highest end score in Antutu Benchmark tool.
What are recommended settings for increased battery life?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change CPU hotplug to Alucard and CPU governor to Smartmax or Intellimm.

HKM should work as this kernel is hells-core based. It seems that HKM is no longer available in Playstore. Do you have a download link?
I don't know about UKM, I personally never used it. Could you give it a shot?
But I can tell you that it works with KernelAdiutor.
Cheers!
Another thing to flash! Really thanks for support. I will try it ASAP and give feedback.

HKM works in general.
You should not enter Display Control, otherwise FC. It's because the kernel has Franco's gamma control instead of the one by faux123.
Btw, I have added performance profiles (francescofranco). But I am not sure how to get them working. But I believe that this can be achieved with Franco's kernel manager..
Kernel is smooth. Working great with cooperation with DU10.0. Elementalx is Nice governor, no random reboots, cold and no glitches here.

Working here on the edge. No error on synapse as well.
Great job!
Interesting for a new kernel, already tried undervolting my S7E by 25mV for everything and using battery mode for most of the stuff, very stable indeed. ASV average value of 9 over here.
Since S7E's default performance was already pretty good, so I didn't adjust the clock speed but played around with the governors and such. Still smooth performance throughout with no stutters.
I've attached my profile over here, just for those who want to try out.
Code:
[B][U]BatteryMaxV1[/U][/B] 13-6-2016
- Everything undervolt by 25mV (not sure will it reflect in the Synapse settings but please do a backup of your stock before applying.)
- Interactive with Battery Profile
- I/O 2048kb, ROW scheduler
- Enabled Gentle Fair Sleepers
- Lowered all wakelocks to 1, especially on Wlan_rx & Wlan_ctrl
- Disabled SensorHub and SSP wakelock (If you use S Health and Google Fit, turn SensorHub back on)
- Input-Booster to Battery Profile
- TCP Multi-Path Enabled, TCP Congestion to cubic, Google DNS
Other stuffs such as CPU Clock speed and stuff are basically untouched as I feel there isn't a need to really adjust it to make the phone suffer from performance issue while giving it a slight battery boost.
Code:
[B][U]BatteryMaxV2[/U][/B] (Testing phase, please report back if any errors occurs) 14-6-2016
[B] [Removed due to many complains in regards to governor causing high frequencies or lag][/B]
*TAKE NOTE! If your keyboard is crashing, use the 25mV version that I've attached below.*
- A53 4x @ 1.5GHz (smartmax), A57 4x @1.8GHz (smartmax), Exynos Hotplug Control removed.
- Undervolted everything for CPU and GPU by 50mV, others by 25mV
-UKSM Governor to low, CPU Consumption to 10%
- Disabled Gentle Fair Sleepers
- Disabled Google Play Service Fix (doesn't fix it for me, still causing drain so I turned it off, turn it on if you think there's drain for it)
- Disabled Screen Mirroring Fix (I don't use it, turn it on if you need)
- GPS Region to ASIA (remember to change to your own region)
How to use the profile?
Copy the attached file into your internal storage with a folder called "volt" and redirect to Synapse > saved_configs . Place the attached file inside and restart your Synapse. You should be able to head to your Backup/Restore tab and select it from "Selected Profile".
Feel free to tell me if anything would be better to change for the setup
Will update once kernel gets updated.
Always welcome a new kernel, will try it soon
So far so smooth and stable with minor undervolt settings, but default cpu governor is a bit hot. Great job bro!
Great work..
Will try soon..

No this kernel like all the other S7 Edge kernels do
not have a working double tap to wake feature.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
just a quick check with those who installed: how is battery or SOT? Is it better than stock?
What are the screen tweaks ? Doe it have gamma and contrast control ???
Does it have csc software disabled?

These shall be the characteristics of my REVIVAL kernel for the Nexus 4 (MAKO).
Why should I use this kernel in my Nexus 4?
The "revival" kernel aims at bringing new life into your worn out NEXUS phone and is meant for those who prefer basic tweaking. This kernel will be the more conservative project, as I plan to put only the essential stuff into it like just a few governors and hotplug drivers, gamma control, UV, dt2w and some other basic stuff..
Note: This kernel is made for Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and maybe later versions (who knows).
Features:
Linux 3.4.112 based on the latest sources of Semaphore kernel by Stratos Karafotis (Big thanks)
Removed lots of useless debugging and logs. Added tweaks/optimizations for increased performance. Some of the tweaks were hand-picked from kernels like Quanta-Mako (thanks zaclimon), TaUrUs_Kernel (thanks txuki2005), Unleashed (thanks ion-storm), kernel-Nexus4 (thanks motley-git), thunderzap (varunchitre15) and Mirage (thanks mgr666)
Compiled with the latest Cortex-A15 optimized UberTC 5.4.1 with some kernel based optimizations: graphite, NEON
Compatible to all Android 6.x ROMs based on AOSP and CM (incl. BeanStalk of course)
MultiROM compatible (Kexec patch)
ARM auto_hotplug (thanks thalamus; enhanced by motley) removed in r02
Alucard-hotplug (Alucard24)
AutoSMP-hotplug (Mgr666)
Dyn_hotplug set as default (stratosk)
mako_hotplug (franciscofranco)
msm-sleeper: upgrade to version 2 (flar2): allows to set a max screen off frequency
Linaro power oriented workqueues (thanks mrg666 & franciscofranco)
CPU Governors: ondemand (tweaked by stratosk; default), stockdemand (for those who like it stock and battery-friendly), yankdemand (a more battery-friendly derivative of ondemand), conservative, interactive (tweaked by franciscofranco), performance, userspace, powersave, elementalX (flar2), hellsactive (hellsgod), smartmax (maxwen)
GPU Governors: conservative, ondemand, performance, interactive (franciscofranco), simple (faux123)
GPU Overclocking (up to 487.5MHz) and ultra low IDLE frequency (27MHz)
IO schedulers: cfq, deadline, noop, sio, tripndroid
Customized in-kernel thermal solution smart scaling, dynamic polling, and configurable throttle temp
Gamma control by faux123 (with nougat r02) / gamma control by franciscofranco (marshmallow r03 until r08)
Dynamic management of dirty page writebacks (Christopher83)
Earlysuspend: speedup late resume (faster wakeup of the device)
Relaxed power savings from NVIDIA
Motorola MSM mcmcpy enhancements
Userspace CPU & GPU Voltage Control
Speaker Amp & Sound Control (faux123)
USB force fast charging (Chad Froebel/faux123)
DT2W/power suspend support and Touch wake (stratosk)
Exponential brightness driver (stratosk)
USB-OTG Support (ziddey/faux123)
Knobs for Arch Power and Gentle Fair Sleepers
Knobs for controlling wakeups: bluesleep, bluedroid_timer, wlan, sensor_ind and msm_hsic_host
Qualcomm Slimbus driver incl. tweaks
Partial-resume framework & quickwakeup driver
AIO optimization from Linux 3.8+ (faux123)
Tested on the following ROMs:
* Pure Nexus (AOSP)
* BeanStalk (CM-13 based)
Known issues (marshmallow release):
* Changing CPU governor to yankdemand, stockdemand or hellsactive doesn't work on latest Purity ROM, Resurrection Remix M v5.7.2, CM-13 and possibly on further CM-13 based custom ROMs. Therefore avoid those governors or your phone will freeze-in and then goes into a soft reboot.

Kernel tweaks illustrated
In order to use the tweaks included into this kernel, you can use:
1. KernelAdiutor-Mod (updated 2016/11/20):
--> My personal build which allows to select the semaphore dt2w profiles (exclusive feature not yet supported in the build by David 617)
--> KA-Mod build by David 617 which will provide the latest updates at some point in time
2. or install Synapse.
@spezi77, can you change min GPU freq to 27MHz and include mako hotplug in next build if it isn't ask much.
Btw, phone is smoother than ever now. Thanks, bro!

I have expected that you will ask for something like mako hotplug.
I will consider it. Anyway, I have already prepared a few of the cpu governors for being used with it. I have seen quite a few variations of Franco's mako hotplug. Not sure yet, which would be the best choice.

You know me. I think the one used in Hellspawn is nice. And one thing I would like to report is that min cpu cores online setting from auto hotplug seems to not be working, at least in ka-mod.
Edit: tryed synapse and with it the situation is worse: there is not even a checkbox to activate auto hotplug.
@ spezi77 May I know the reason for another Kernel by you

1. Hellspawn is for hardcore tweakers cause it's got an insane amount of features and "Revival" has a limited amount for even better stability.
2. "Hellspawn" is based on "hellscore" while "Revival" is based on "semaphore". So they're 2 different kernels.
If you know that you'll tweak every single value of the kernel, or want to have those options there just in case, then Hellspawn is the kernel you want to use. But if you want to do some basic tweaking, "Revival" is the best for you.
Cheers !

Does kernel supported F2FS ?

No, it doesn't. But don't worry. There's no improvement using f2fs, in any department. It's placebo. The benchmarks may show slightly better results but in real world use, the phone behaves exactly the same, it gives the exact same performance and battery life. That's the reason both Stratosk and Hellsgod didn't even bother adding f2fs to their kernels.

Hum, I just had a look into the min/max cpu cores online setting. The problem does not originate from the kernel tweaker app(s). The app just reads and writes values from/into the sysfs path, and I didn't find any logical issues here. So, the min/max online cpus feature seems to be implemented in a slightly hacky way..
As of now, I have no idea how to improve this without getting a big headache.. :silly:
Simplest solution would be to ditch auto_hotplug and replace it with mako hotplug. :angel:
Edit: BTW, I did a fresh build (r02) with mako hotplug and 27MHz idle GPU freq.
Flashed today - everything looks nice and smooth so far. A think that its a little more stable and fast than HellSpawn
However I don't get all those colour profiles - where is my favourite alucard8888 and Mohit Galaxy Kehlu Mod?
I can't find the perfect colour settings
The kernel looks very nice @spezzi77. The only thing that's missing, is the gamma control from Hellspawn. The stock control doesn't really give us any tweaking options. I'm used to "Obsanity Amoled" so I can't really go without it or at least be able to tweak it the way I prefer. I'll be waiting for that to be added. Other than that, you should not add anything else cause everything is nice and stable this way.

At the moment the kernel has Stratosk's gamma control which is very close to the stock one. Franco's control is what we want for us to be able to change profiles or tweak them. I'm sure spezzi will add that in a future build.

Glad to hear that!
Oh and one more thing - dunno if anyone else noticed that/has that bug/feature
LED notification sometimes is pulsing with all rainbow colours instead of those that are set in my ROM. I remember that happening on some kernel - but right now I can't remember which one
@spezi77, I'm feeling that battery is worse in r02 in comparison with r01, I was having some good results with r01 despite using ondemand and dyn with 2 cores min but now with r02 it's not that good even using smartmax. Thanks for your commitment.

Yeah man the Beta.
Any recommendations for good balance between battery life and performance :
CPU governor
I/O scheduler
GPU governor
Max GPU 487 MHz? Not too much...
Or stay like it is...
