This is based on l0st.prophet's kernel with added support for Nik's projectX and Virtuous Infinity Sense 4 Roms.
Features:
It's still very much in development and Sense4 versions are not in universal flash as they includes rmdisk changes,
firmware and an init.d script that Rom devs need to add to their releases first.
Test it, try it, rip it apart, fix it, break it, delete it. Pretty much do whatever you like with it.
Tell me what you think and report any issues with as much information as possible.
Includes 15 governors:
Brazilianwax
Conservative
Intellidemand
Interactive
InteractiveX
Lagfree
Lazy
Lionheart
Lulzactive
Ondemand (Default)
OndemandX
Performance
SavagedZen
Scary
SmartassV2
And all the usual goodies.
6 Schedulers:
bfq
cfq
deadline
noop
sio (Default)
vr
Overclocking, undervolting, sweep2wake, 2wcr.

Install Instructions:
S-off Users:
Those updating from previous versions of my kernel only need to flash the corresponding zip file.
Sense 3.6 (Miui) users only need to flash their desired kernel version (wipe cache and dalvik is also recommended)
[highlight]Sense 4 users who wish to change from another kernel must first install a previous version then the latest.[/highlight]
e.g.
You want to install the latest version of Redux Kernel on Sabsa Prime, replacing stock/another kernel:
Flash Redux_0.8_Sabsa.zip first, then latest Redux Kernel version, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.
You want to install the latest version of Redux Kernel on Nik's ProjectX, replacing stock/another kernel:
Flash Redux_0.3_ProjectX.zip first, then latest Redux Kernel version, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.
You want to install the latest version of Redux Kernel on Virtuous Infinity, replacing stock/another kernel:
Flash Redux_0.3_Virt_Infinity.zip first, then latest Redux Kernel version, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.

*The Sabsa Prime Installer might work for other Roms (ProjectX) but at this point are untested. If you find it's working, let me know!!
**Lower frequencies are experimental and may cause issues (CPU sticking on min frequency) on some governors (interactive based) Do not lower frequency beyond the default if you do not know what you are doing.
***The new wifi drivers are a work in progress and you may notice issues on starting up wifi tethering. Current know workaround is to switch off security temporarily, switch tethering on and off and re-enable security. If someone finds a better workaround let me know. The tradeoff is a much more stable and faster connection from my testing. If this inconveniences you too much, just move to a previous version.

[B][U]Frequency and Voltage table[/U][/B]
To be updated at a later date
The minimum possible voltage has been dropped to 500mV and the minimum frequency has been dropped to 61MHz for testing purposes. They could cause unpredictable issues with your phone, so if you're not sure what you are doing, it's best to at least leave the voltages alone and only reduce the frequency to 245MHz, possibly 184. If youre comfortable testing these settings feel free to do so and report your findings. I'm using IncrediControl to adjust frequency, governor, scheduler and voltages. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol

Congrats on your 1000th thanks. What I mean by It's not possible, is starting the ramdisk init services using init.d scripts. So creating a zImage universal flash at this stage is off the table and each sense 4 Rom needs it's own seperately created boot.img to implementthe fixes. But you're right about it being possible to have the kernel running on all the sense based roms of course. I have already studied your downloads
I have got a lot of work to do before "my" kernel has the same/similar amount of features that yours does.
2wc not work for me. Nik x

Nice work nonverbose Seems like more people are stepping up lately, which is nice too see
One question, does this include a 122MHz step? I like it for some reason, and l0st.prophet's didn't have it
Thanks mate
Sweet, thanks
If you can, it'd be great to see a fix for reboots when switching cell tower during a phone call
And I'd also like to see the inclusion of BadAss governor

Hi. The following kernel is presented to you by
vorkKernel Team:
- kiljacken
- Benee
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This kernel is for Cyanogenmod and Miui. *Could* be incompatible with latest kangs or nightlies (after a kernel update from CM team). No support for stock or mcr...
It's incompatible with MIUI and CM Builds before #177
New vorkKernel Twitter Bot: Here
First I want to make clear that all credit goes to aremcee/arcee/rmcc (man so many nicks ). He did an awesome job with the kernel.
I just tweaked it a little bit to my needs.
Features:
uv/oc support. OC up to 1,5GHz (With E-Peen version)
AVP/System/RAM/GPU OC with E-Peen version
1,2 Ghz for batt safe version.
Special tweaked (working!) Performance and Powersave Govenors which don't lock the freq to one level (they choose between 3-4 Freq steps)
It's even possible to set max/min clock via setcpu or CMSettings!
Voodoo sound. Thanks supercurio! So awesome
Default IO-Sched is Deadline with a special flash storage tweak
Slub allocator
tweaked CFS cpu sched (Low latency)
compiled with a tweaked toolchain (base linaro gcc - optimized for tegra2)
VFP optimizations (vfpv3-d16) and overall compiler optimizations
flags! (more below in the flag section)
A App for easy downloading and configuring. Credits to kiljacken!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The standard part:
I'm not responsible for melted phones or something like that...
The camera is unstable with E-Peen mode (due to AVP OC). After a reboot it needs to stabilize a few minutes (so you break it with every reboot again). Same for Bluetooth. Please don't report a problem regarding this. It's known and can't be fixed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And the source code here.
Download (Market)
Credits to kiljacken for this awesome app! You need OI File Manager for the app (Comes with CM)!
(and if you refuse to use the app - or the app is refusing to work with you: here)
Only change something, if you want to enable OC - No need to touch anything else (like govenors, schedulers)
What are flags and how can I use them?
I recommend to use the App kiljacken made, because it's super easy for you guys. If you not want to use the app *sadpanda* then you can click this link. This is the file the app is fetching to generate the UI.
The layout is following:
Available for following device/Element style (more below)/the flag you need to add/Flag name in App/Description for general Flag/Choice name in app/actual value you need to add after flag name
If the last two points are added you first enter the flag name and than the value. For example: density230
You connect the flags with a: -
Example: -camera-ring ...
The script is configured to detect flags after vorkKernel-VERSIONNUMBER. So you can add some flags after this.
Element style
c = Checkbox
l = List you can choose things from
e = you can enter your own value

Error Reporting Guide
Start with rebooting, if that doesn't help, reflash CM and then the kernel, and check again. If you're using the updater app (make sure you have the latest version), use the error report function (and describe what you're problem is). If you're not using the app, then post what flags you are using, along with what your problem is.

Additionally I just want to point out that I'm not doing this as a fulltime job, so don't expect daily updates or something like that. I will try to fix a problem as fast as possible but in some cases it can take a while.

This kernel is amazing! Nice work with the filename flags. It's brilliant! This way we don't have to have the same setup, but can enjoy both CM7 and the kernel.

I'll try this kernel later. Will wait for CM7 getting more optimized for our devices first. 2000 Quadrant scores out of the box just don't cut it - I don't want to overclock to 1.4 GHz just to reach speeds of MCR FR14 ;-)

More things will be in it soon. And Quadrant doesn't matter. CM feels better in normal use (except a few problems but it is a really good starting point).

Yes I know it doesn't really matter. Although, generally speaking, higher scores means the software is more optimized to the hardware; framework, kernel and/or drivers.
CM7 should be able to smash the performance out of the LG stock ROM without problem...
Thanks for you kernel additions! Subscribed to this thread now so I can follow your progress.

Nah. You can boost quadrant to oblivion via data2ext for example on desire/nexus but it didn't helped in real life performance. The sql sync disable doesn't help with real usage, but boost quadrant etc. So many things which doesn't improve real usage, boost quadrant. Like deleting your /system (pro move...).
But yeah in some parts you are right and optimizing drivers boost it too + help real use performance, so I will do this too.

Yep but this would break pimp my cpu support and I think pimp my cpu is the better deal. A easy user interface with undervolting support. Awesome! .. so no I won't add it to cm settings
Awesome OC in CM7 makes it even better
I know I'm going to get flamed for this but how do you o/c once you have flashed the kernel? when i open setCPU its already at the max 1g when i go to the CM settings there's no frequencies to select in the cpu management option
is it different on the tegra chips as opposed to qualacom?

Ok if I understand the changelog from kholk correct, most of the changes are already included (don't know exactly because he didn't copied the commit names and sums the function up). One commit isn't in it because it introduced the graphic glitches. vfp3-d16 support and compiler optimization will be added with next update. Then most things are in it.

Nah no flaming . You need pimp my cpu for it. Cpasjute did some kernel hacks to enable oc and add a uv function. That means you can undervolt without compiling the kernel again. Unfortunatly it isn't compatible with setcpu..
The kernel seems ok; I tried OC till 1200 with 50-100 UV (depending on OC).
What's very good with CM7 (and this kernel) is battery life, 30-40% more compared with Modaco ROM (till FR14).
Anybody have tried higher frequencies (1300-1400)?
Thanks a lot.

I have been using this all day running 1300Mhz @ 1200mV - normal use with wifi on - 84% battery left after ap. 12 hours
I made this kernel for my own use.
Decided to share it.
My reason for making this kernel is because I have been trying kernel after kernel and have not been able to stay on a single one.
Every time my main issue was that the phone would get uncomfortably hot, the only kernel that wouldn't was always @showp1984's kernel with his 3-phase thermal. At first I was enjoying it until I saw all these other kernels getting updated with new features so I decided to update showps kernel, it wasn't a big update but it still suffered from the SODs caused by his in-kernel mpdecision (which I'd prefer over Qualcomm's) so I decided to just grab my next favorite kernel and update it with thermal. I've been testing it for a few days and haven't had it get as hot as it used to so I'm happy with it. I'm not a developer I just wanted something for me. It has the same features as @Faux123's kernel which include...
-Dynamic FSync
-Eco Mode
-Turn MPDecision on/off
-OC up to 1.8GHz
-UV to 700000mV
-Sweep2Wake
-Fast Charge
-Veno/Reno/Bic/Cubic/Westwood+/HTCP
-GPU OC up to 487MHz
-3 phase thermal
-FIOPS/NOOP/DEADLINE/ROW/CFQ/SIO schedulers
-compiled with the latest Linaro toolchain O2 optimized
-its also hard coded with moles' colors that everyone is raving about (they are good though thats why i included them)
I personally like using Kernel Tuner which allows modifying the 3 phase thermal parameters.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
New release method:
Each release will have a folder, in the folder will be a kernel with hardcoded values from Molesarecoming. I'll just use the most popular few because id rather not wait a few mins uploading each kernel from my phone :l
February 8, 2013
http://www.mediafire.com/?3t5vz8t21m2wl
About the source:
It took me a few hours to download each repository (faux123 and showp) since im tethering off my phone (which is faster to download than upload with TMo speeds) , so i haven't uploaded the source. I can probably upload the patches (a lot smaller in size) which can be applied to Fauxs source thus producing this same kernel
Glad i was trying my hand at git, still such a noob but i was able to figure something out. Sorry if it isn't proper :l
https://github.com/jassycliq/mako
so this is based on faux's kernel?
Yes, it is up to date with his github source.
and i'm assuming BLUEHOLO color tweak?
What do you mean? I posted everything that I included, nothing more nothing less

No, I previously had compiled a kernel that replaced Qualcomm's proprietary mpdecision with showps in-kernel mpdecision but it would cause SODs so i decided against it.
It still uses Qualcomms mpdecision but just like Faux123's kernel you can turn it off and use intelli_plug.

[GT-i9195][cm11] - [ROM](Feb.2016)&[kernel](ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151210)
This is a GT-I9195 CM11 kernel highly optimized to best possible performance and energy efficiency.
It may work on Slim (confirmed), AICP (confirmed) and Carbon Rom (confirmed) as well.
It will not work on any Samsung Stock based ROM.
- built from latest avalable CM sources
- CPU OC: 1998 Mhz (light: 1782 MHz) (default and max.)
- reworked freq- tables (unique 108 MHz-steps) for fast scaling
- CPU UV: -50mv (light: -25mv) (default, adjustable)
- GPU OC: freq steps changed to 192-400-608 MHz (light: 192-400-554 MHz)
- L2 OC/UV for extra performance (stock setting is a bottleneck, especially with OC)
- improved bus scaling
- RAM UV
- adjusted msm_thermal to prevent too much thermal throttling under heavy load
- added new "ECOACTIVE" governor and set as default
- added new "ECOPLUG" hotplug driver and set as default
- added FIOPS IO Scheduler and set as default
- added some more commonly used IO schedulers
- added fast random (and enabled via init.d)
- built with official gcc 4.8 with -O3 flags
"ECOACTIVE" is the ultimate governor for lag free performance and good battery life at the same time. It's based on interactive governor. It has a special input gain including the menu, home and back buttons. Separate input gain, fullspeed and eco/screen off phases minimize the use of high frequencys whithout slowing down the device noticably. The upscaling is more agressive during the input phase (default 1s). In the following fullspeed phase (default 10s, set to 0 for unlimited) full performance is allowed. The third phase is configured for battery saving usage while reading, watching videos, music listening or when the screen is off. This ensures maximum responsiveness and best gamig experience along with best possible battery life when reading, listening to music etc.
"ECOPLUG" is an alternative hotplug driver based on AutoSMP. It works much snappier on our device than the stock msm-mpdecision. On default setting second core is down when screen is off.
Everything is fully "pretweaked".
Flash from recovery, enyoy... no need to adjust anything via init.d or app.
Dont flash this kernel if you don't know how to fix problems after flashing !
Make a backup before flashing this kernel !
The hardware parameters are adapted near to the limits of my phone. This means this kernel will not work if your devices hardware cannot handle the OC/UV.
If you are lucky you run the fastest kernel available for your phone
If your phone doesn't run with the "lombartz kernel" you may try the "lombartz light kernel" with less agressive OC/UV.
My latest pure CM11 ROM build (Feb. 2016):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-1RyGtdRvCwWEVfc0ZhTTRzdXc
If you use Xposed framework you need to flash XposedFix after ROM.

...updated.
this kernel is amazing but i have a problem when i connect the smartphone at bluetooth radio. In this case my smartphone freeze and always reboot.
sorry for my english
Hi, thanks for yor feedback Have you already checked if you have the same problem with the last official CM11 kernel from 20150105 ?
regards,
lombartz
edit: tested with my laptop as bluetooth- speaker with no problems. My actual Version is heavily tweaked at the Moment but nothing changed with audio or bluetooth.
Anyone else with bluetooth- playback issues out there ?
edit: found a possible reason for the problem. hope it's fixed in new version (see OP)
Thank you for this. Any chance to include f2fs into the kernel?

It's already included, I tested it just now with my actual Version via USB OTG a d could read and write. It should also work with the 20150212 Version.

Strange. My data and cache partition are f2fs and with the f4ktion cm11 kernel all is working well, but after installation of your kernel I'm stuck at the boot logo.

Here is a Version without OC/UV or other tweaks but with all CM Updates. Its about 20% slower than the tweaked Version but more actual than the V20150212.
If this one boots your phone doesn't like my OC/UV settings...

Thank you very much! I will test it and report back! If I understand it right, f2fs support is also in stock cm11 kernel?
I never tried it...

No luck. I also tried flashing the latest cm11 nightly with no luck.
If I remember right I've tried the stock kernel some time ago only formatting the cache partition and this didn't work either.
20150212 working nice with latest Carbon 4.4.4
can you please add option to underclock min CPU to 162/270 MHz?

This is a technically useless placebo feature and doesn' t save any energy.
The HFPLL has to be used to get the lower frequencys and this will eat the saved energy.

Hmm, the reason is the fstab.qcom, /cache and /data is expexted to be ext4.
Can be changed but I dont know how to allow both fs at the moment.

hi, I dont know what HFPLL is (some high frequency PLL), but I trust you
but still, is more battery efficient to hold wakelock with 162MHz than with 384, no? (see my previous post)
But on theother hand, 50mW diference between 162 and 384 MHz isnt realy so large...

I suppose you mean 50 mV ? The lower UV limit is reached at about 384 MHz anyway.
Youre right with hfpll. Only at 384 MHz the CPU runs with pll8.
If you undervolt @ 384 manually as much as possible you will find that you cannot go noticeably lower if you clock down further.
At the Moment I am testing other tweaks that should be more effective an give some extra performance.

If you like to you can test this. But please make a full backup before because i did not test it myself. I don't want to reformat my phone for f2fs at the moment.
If it boots you are a tester for all the new changes ...
This Version will not run with ext4 /cache and /data partitions.

After app optimisation the phone reboots and after the reboot it hangs at the Samsung logo. Only recovering the old boot image helps. Don't know if the oc is the reason.
Update:
I've tried oc with f4ction kernel and had also a reboot. I guess my CPU is not the best.

No problem. I'm aware of the issues that can happen.
Normally I use f4ction as it is with 50uv. For the test I oc'ed to 1998mhz.
I upgraded my Touchpad to Latest version of Nougat yesterday.
However as soon as I started loading a few basic apps it started to not respond at all & ends up having to be continually rebooted. It's slightly better now but still has to be rebooted every so often & very often locks up for 30-60 seconds at a time.
I've checked all available space on storage & appears to be all correct with what was in the instructions, plus this was a clean install (the upgrade from kitkat was even worse!) & was done via TWRP with latest ROM, GAPPS etc. I'm aware Nougat is not the finished article but judging by other comments on the forum their experience is somewhat better than mine (using the TP right now us very frustrating).
This is being installed on a 32mb TP so storage isn't an issue at all. I've done a number of upgrades over the last few years but this is the first time I've run into these sort of problems.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Would it be possible to mention this in the OP of your old thread? Every time I add links to devs base the mods remove it here at XDA :silly:
Edit: Also worth mentioning that increasing the min CPU frequency to 600+ will help with the Evervolv lag issues.
Info about the move to Devs base for all those who haven't heard.

Thanks buddy!! Actually fed up with the lag issue I have reverted to milaq's kikat 4.4.4. . Tonight will revert back to evervolv and will update here.
One doubt as the min cpu freq is 648 mhz will it not eat in to the battery??
Thanks,
Sivbal.

Also in toolbox if I disable aosp mode,the touchpad become very laggy and YouTube is not at all responding. But if we enbale aosp mode and disable all toolsbox functions...touchpad is useable.
Guys now after a long time I formatted my data and all the partitions then installed the evervolv 7.1.2 test build. Skz kernel overclocked to 1728. Also gpu overcolcked to 320. Kernel samepage killing enabled.cpu profile set to interactive. The rom is performing good. Please try.

Is this much better than the Android 6 builds? The last decent one I had was JCSullins 5.1, my current 6.0.1 (22/08/2016) takes 2-3 longer to start up, is noticeably slow/laggy and has no USB OTG support. I notice that the Android 7 builds have no camera, Bluetooth and I need to overclock to have a good experience? I might go back to 5.1 again...

The newer evervolv builds have both working camera and Bluetooth but yes I'd recommend getting shumash's kernel and overclocking for the best experience. However if you're already using CM12 try updating to Milaqs latest builds here It might fix the issues you're having. I generally find Milaqs CM11 to be the most stable rom for your daily driver. Let me know how the newer builds of CM12 workout for you.

Thanks, I'm just deciding whether to go with JCSullins 12.1 from Jan 2016 or Milaq's 12.0 from Aug 2017. Tempted to go for 12.1 even though the actual rom is much older, I don't think much could have changed.

Thx a lot !! It saved my HPTP.
Yesterday i flashed the last evervolv, and looked for some improvements on xda-dev, and I saw your post. After flashing, I tried to apply these settings.
What a change !! The TouchPad is now usable.
My plan is to use it (with the touchstone) as a screen for my home automation. It was impossible, but now it seems to be responsive enough !
Thanks again.

Do not flash this over other kernels. If you want to switch from any other kernel to Atom, then flash stock kernel first (by dirty flashing your current ROM), and flash Atom.

Subscribed and following. If you may, may I ask about the CPU Governors? What is included in this kernel? And also with I/O scheduler and TCP Congestion. Thank You. I'll be considering to install this one of these days. Good to see an alternative.

Hey mate!
This is a minimal kernel with no bloat or pointless placebo addons. Also, i believe on improving the code rather adding the code. So, this is an optimized version of stock kernel for better battery stability and performance. (You can see the OP if you wanna know more about the tweaks.)

Thank you. Meaning, I can just install and forget? no more tweaks to be made or adjustments in parameters like CPU Gov, TCP Congestion algorithm, I/O scheduler, etc? I'm really interested to try this out but I need some few details first. Glad to know there's now an alternative kernel to ZF2 aside from HoloN. Thanks for your great work.
