Goldenleaf.v111206-LG http://www.mediafire.com/?p8j4xwmwazkfa46
Know bugs in most updated goldenleaf version:
none.
GBS is an modified version of franco.Kernel v19.4, original franco.Kernel code is heavily patched for the best performance. With this mod is added more battery life, some changes in kernel config, cpu spike on touch the screen fix, better axis inversion workaround, USB-transfer fix, Powertop/dmesg support, and for froyo based roms users, recharging with phone off fix.
- Recharging with phone off fixed. (mikos cyanogen based roms have a feature to: if the phone is off, when you plug the charger, it will power on the phone. The normal behaviour is to boot a system only to recharge phone. But mik has disabled it. SO, if you use devoid.#final this recharge while offline will work. if you use cyanogen, will not work.)
what's new in:
gbs.v20a
...blackscreen fix reverted
...more little touches on touchscreen driver
...deadline I/O scheduler as default
...deadline I/O scheduler patched

...Noop as default I/O scheduler
...smartass as default governor.
...[CFS-ONLY] with agroup patch as always, since franco 19.4
...axis inversion workaround off
...newfix, expect 50% cpu use on touch, smoothier.
...oldfix, expect 25% cpu use on touch, faster and battery saving.

How to use it? Just download and Flash via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Remember:
This kernel is ONLY for LG Stock ROM 2.2, Void.#forever, devoid, miks 6.5.x, CyanogenMMatt 1.1...
WIPE DALVIK, BATTERY AND CACHE!
DONT FLASH 2 DIFFERENT ZIPS AT THE SAME TIME!
MAKE A REBOOT BEFORE EACH FLASH
If you are using AmonRa, disable signature before flashing.
NOT underclock below 480MHz. At lower speeds, wakeups-from-idle per second are bigger than 480MHz and they share the same voltage, so thats leads to more battery drain.
It's recomended to use: MIN 480 / MAX YOUR CHOICE

Curious findings thank you for taking the time to test all that ****. Tell me, why are you adding USB as a module?
Just to get the suspend mode that powertop recomends.

It's possible to suspend USB while it's not being used having it configured as a module?
I dont know for sure, since that p500 uses usb in slave mode.
But if this really works, as powertop says, i can get more battery life
So, lets test

do we need to flas zram after this?????????
i meant "flash" zram.zip... which was needed in fk... which is the base of this kernal.... and i was just asking!!!!!!!!!! sry about the typing error.....
Hi Fserve, thanks for your work, I have a question... You have removed things for keyboards, this means I can or cannot use a bluetooth keyboard? I'm asking this before purchasing such keyboard, thanks!

You can use! That keyboard option removed was an legacy linux hack thing to restart the computer via keyboard. (sysrq magic key)
About zram, it is enabled in the kernel, if you have flashed it in any version of franco.Kernel it will work here.
How?
Its simple, when you flash zram it will modify one part of your system, and kernel another. So you only need to reflash zram in case of wipe all data.

I'll give you info about this kernel. fserve fetched my sources, changed the .config file to add/delete some functionalities just like he stated in the first post and he came here and shared it with everyone, and I'm glad he did because I'm definitely going to look up on his configuration changes. Other than that it's still my kernel. That's all the info I can give to you.
New version released. (IT'S ON THE FIRST PAGE)
V8 was compiled with -Os (to make a small kernel)
V12 was compiled with -O2 (to make a faster kernel)
V12 got cleaned up ethernet 10/100 drivers, some scsi drivers, some loggers, some debuggers, some useless stuff. for now, only bfs version.
Stop the offtopic here, please

@fserve good work ! when are more opinions about your kernel, and also when I have more time will prove it
Disclaimer :
I am not responsible if you brick, break, blow up, drop, lose, or get your device pregnant. Everything you do is your responsibility.
This kernel is only made for the GT-P6810 WiFi only Tablet, It is not compatible with Locerra CM9 nor CM10, and it may not work on everyone's device. I'm not a real developer and I don't know how to fix your device if you break it!
This kernel is forked (a direct copy to be more specific) from the EzyICS Kernel v1 and I thank again Ezynow for his hard work. I took his changes from his topic and adapt this kernel to the P6810. Actually, I took the .config and compare line by line which was for the P6800 and which was for the P6810. So, I disabled all the gsm/modem devices.
This kernel is not perfect and needs be to improved so don't be harsh if there's some kind of problem. I've tested it again tonight and I did not brick or whatsoever other problem... I'll list on the features which one are working and tested and others which don't.
There's only one file to download and flash it with the locerra's cwm. So, you have to install locerra's cmw first ! See below
Bugs
None known yet
Features
Removed MMC_CAP_ERASE (BrickBug) (tested ok) like Dedrak's one I did this :
Code:
//mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ | MMC_CAP_ERASE;
mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ; // Brick Bug Fix
Built from GT-P6810_ICS_Opensource_Update1.zip;
Support for bootanimation. Place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media folder.
Various compiler optimizations (neon, cflags :-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer etc.) (Debug stuff remains for now but will be taken after some more mods are added);
Mali state tracking disabled;
/etc/init.d/S* script support (Add here your tweaks / ramscripts from custom roms etc.) (tested ok)
Added Governor :
Pegasusq (by default) - (recommend as it deals better with multi-cpu devices like our tabs but may require some tweaking)(tested ok)
interactive;
lulzactive;
lulzactiveq;
smartassV2;
hotplug.
I don't know if these governors will suit to our tab and they need to be tested.
Overclocking Support up to : 1600 mhz. It test further but the tab was not stable enough and as Ezynow said : ICS changes how frequency control is implemented so not as easily overclockable as honeycomb was. Fixed CPU Boot Up frequencies to default values / not overclocked settings (tested ok)
Undervolting Support:
Same frequencies as Eznow used : 200 / 500 / 16000 hz (As these are the most used)
So far running pretty stable on:
Code:
1600 mhz -------------------> 1300mv
1400 mhz -------------------> 1250mv
1200 mhz -------------------> 1175mv
1000 mhz -------------------> 1075mv
800 mhz ---------------------> 1000mv
500 mhz ---------------------> 875mv
200 mhz ---------------------> 875mv
ALL DEVICES will have different values but these values gave by Ezynow worked for me. Use SetCpu to change voltages or cpu overclocks. (tested ok)
Slightly undervolted GPU voltages and thus reduced by 50mv for default GPU levels. (tested ok)
in built CIFS support. Changed Max_BUFFER Size to max 130084 (Thanks to Pinkowl for first supporting this).
In cifs options put: rsize=130048. (tested ok)
NFS share mounting. (not tested)
UDF & ISO support - i.e native bluray disk support. (not tested)
Here is information on it This is configurable using a tool known as NSTools on the PlayStore. When using this 100% means the bus frequency is at 100% try not to get confused. So 100% of 100MHz would be 100MHz so if you increase it to 120% so it would be 120% of 100MHz would be 120MHz and this value applies to all CPU frequencies, GPU ect.
Compatibility listIt seems to work on all stock ICS releases or derived custom ROMs.
CM9 - Not working;
CM10 - Not working;
XXLPL - Tested: (tested ok)
InstallGo into CWM.
Make a nandroid backup.
Install zip from sdcard.
ProblemsGo into CWM-> Advanced restore -> restore boot.

Oh nooo I on P6800..
If I on P6810...will whack this on my Tab
Nice...keep it up mengpo, any chance for P6800?
I have a suggestion for the Pegasusq governor. You could perhaps tweak it according to siyah kernel like on the sgs2?

Hi Mate,
Great to see the development you've made! Excellent work :good:
Still away right now and hopefully missus will have sorted out a place to stay (and ADSL) by the time I return.
Need to (want) to get started on a new ROM build for P6810 (P6810XXLPM), but that won't happen for 2 weeks.
Would love to take your kernel for a run then
Keep it up

I did an update and changed the scalling governor (pegasusq with pagasusq (siyah version). I think the problem went from there and thus you won't have this random reboot issue.
good luck !
The v1.1 download link seems bad; says file is deleted.
Also anyone use this on Skyfire Rom, which seems based on the same stock firmware?

Hi guys!
I've been trying different kernel and roms at this time, I've been surprised with several of them greatly, but I've always liked my way of setting the cpu frequencies, governor, further reduce the brightness ... etc all WITHOUT USING ANY EXTERNAL APP that consume my internal memory and are constantly running in the background.
Well if you are one of those who leave permanently on your cpu frequency and like to save as much of your battery it will be very useful.
When I tested the Battery Extender 1.5.1 kernel I noticed that every time I restarted my device, the maximum clock frequency was changed to 902 Mhz and I needed tools to control this frequency (as no-frills or set-cpu)... Right, this is the end with the following tweaks, so forget No-Frills and Set-cpu!:
These changes will be adjusted every time you boot the system
Viper The Ripper Tweaks to save battery
What I have changed?
Power off menu and back buttons
Reduced the brightness to maximum
Changed the frequency when the device starts to 245-787 Mhz
Changed the Governor when the device starts to Conservative (I prefer this Governor to save battery)
Working on: CF-Root, BatteryExtender, SpaceKernel, nims11 kernel
Extreme Version
Power off menu and back buttons
Reduced the brightness to maximum
Changed the frequency when the device starts to 245-614 Mhz
Changed the Governor when the device starts to Conservative (I prefer this Governor to save battery)
Working on: BatteryExtender 1.5.1 and up, it should works in SpaceKernel too
CM Versions
Power off menu and back buttons
How to install it?
1. Put the attached file into your sdcard
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Install from sdcard
4. Flash it
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy
Hellyeah!

I'm sure, in my opinion using no-frills or similar apps (sertCpu), you increase the RAM usage with background processes, so your battery will drain faster, anyway you don't need any app to set your cpu frequencies
Updated!
Extreme Versions are here!
Working on: BE 1.5.1 and up, it should works in SpaceKernel too
Updated!
POWER OFF BUTONS in CM7/9/10.x.... it's PERMANENT!
Tested in CM7.2 (The Ultimatum Rom and Revolution X) it should work in CM9/10.x too
Hey do you know if you can power off menu and back button in Mardon ROM?

Yes, but now it's a bit late. Tomorrow I'll try to provide you a flashable tweak
But currently you can use the Terminal Emulator to get it just type this lines:
Code:
su
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightne
When you reboot your device the button will power on again so type it after rebooting your phone, but I'll provide you a permanent solution asap

I did Install ZIP from SDCard, it says tweaks added no error or anything, I rebooted but no changes were applied.
I retried it again and seems like it worked.

I Glad it will work ..It should work but, even I asked to Mardon, the SuperSu can block su request during boot, so it could be the problem, use cmsuperuser variant if you face any problem
Mardon's answer:
Which variant? Supersu or cm superuser?
SuperSu now can block su requests during boot init if wrong configured in supersu.

But I see the problem is solved, thank you so much for reporting it
No problem, I installed Universal Init.d from the PlayStore. Then closed phone and retried the zip and it worked. I don't know if its has anything to do with that but its working you can add it to the first page! =)

FAQ
Q : With what ROM can I use this kernel ?
A : With any ROM based on Sony stock Marshmallow
Q : Your kernel isn't working / My phone isn't booting anymore
A : Read this whole post once more, search for your problem in thread and report it if you haven't found a solution.
Q : Can I install this kernel on locked bootloader ?
A : No ! This kernel is only for unlocked bootloader.
Q : Does this kernel include recovery ?
A : Yes ! You can access by pressing buttons when the led is lighting. Volume down to go to TWRP and Volume up to load recovery from FOTA..
Q : What are mpdecision and fast hotplug ?
A : This is what manage your cpu cores and decide which core will be online. Fast hotplug is a brand new hotplug that I wrote. See next post for more information

About Fast hotplug
Motivation
I wasn't convinced by show-p's msm_mpdecision nor faux123's intelli_plug ( I don't even talk about qcom mpdecision ). I also wanted to start working on a bigger programming project to learn more about kernel developing so I decided to write my own hotplug.
Main features
I tried to make fast hotplug the lightest possible, so that it consumes the less resources possible when it is not needed (mainly at idle). One of the second goals was to make it customizable.
How to use
Deactivate qcom mpdecision (Pimp my Z1 will do this automatically when you choose fast hotplug)
Activate fast_hotplug
Code:
adb shell "echo 1 > /sys/module/fast_hotplug/parameters/fast_hotplug_enabled"
Tune it to your liking
How to configure
Unfortunately, there isn't yet any user friendly application to configure fast hotplug. The only way to configure it is to manually edit the module files with adb or a file editor.
I modified Pimp my Z1 to be compatible with fast hotplug. You can find the modified version at post 12
You can also find all the parameters at
Code:
/sys/module/fast_hotplug/parameters/
and edit them with adb command
Code:
adb shell "echo [COLOR="Navy"]<value>[/COLOR] > /sys/module/fast_hotplug/parameters/[COLOR="Navy"]<variable_name>[/COLOR]"
You can configure the following parameters :
fast_hotplug_enabled : 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled
boost_duration : Duration of boost in ms when screen is touched
threshold_to_boost : Instead of automatically pluging in cores on touch, fast hotplug checks that the load is above this threshold. This avoid cores coming online when reading file or website.
max_cpu_on : Maximum number of online cpu when screen is on
min_cpu_on : Minimum number of online cpu when screen is on
idle_threshold : Threshold under which fast_hotplug will remain almost idle and won't perform any check. This applies when only 1 core is online
plug_in_core_X_threshold : with X between 1 and 3. This is the threshold to plug in coreX.
plug_in_core_X_delay : This is the number of fast_hotplug cycles (see refresh_rate) to skip before pluging in coreX.
plug_out_core_X_threshold : Like plug_in_core_X_threshold but to plug out.
plug_out_core_X_delay
refresh_rate : Time in ms between fast hotplugs checks
screen_off_singlecore : 1 for activated, 0 for deactivated; Allows only one core to be online when screen is off.
If you are using linux, you can easily change the configuration with this small program : https://github.com/pec0ra/fast_hotplug_controller
You will probably want to create init.d script to make your configuration stay after reboot. If enough users want it, I can create an example of script.
Bugs / stability
Due to some conflicts with qcom mpdecision, it is possible that you encounter some bugs / reboots when both are enabled.
Configuration doesn't stick after reboots
Help needed
If you are a java developer (or want to learn ) and want to help in developing an app (or editing an already existing one) to control the hotplug, please send me a pm
Please tell me your impression, your custom configuration and / or your recommendation so that I can make it better in future releases.
Good luck.
Will try as soon as I can. :good:
Welcome! :good:

Regarding this, there is already an app out there that is FOSS, licensed under the GPLv2 license, looks sexy and should be easy to modify. It's called Pimp My Z1, I think it offers pretty much everything you want.
Other than that, cool that you're developing something new, I'll give it a shot!
Edit:
You may want to disable Sony's RIC it prevents you from writing to /system. This should help you.
I can't seen to get notification breath effect,i didn't do the mpdecision step,so could this make the diference?

Thank you for the link
I'll see if I can do something with this app when I have more time (I've never made any android app).
Disabling ric is a good idea I'll do this for next version.

No, mpdecision won't affect it. Have you tried it on YadliKernel ? Did it work for all the notifications ? It seems like on abricot kernel they work for most of the notifications but not for sms.

It is probably compatible (I didn't tried it) but you will probably not be able to change most of the configurations since they are not implemented in my kernel. Some configuration from my kernel (like fast hotplug) are also not implemented in the app so you can't change them from there.

There's no printing in the mod I think so dmesg would be useless. I'll try again with WhatsApp. Have you tried it on other kernels? Was it working ?
Edit : ok, maybe there is an error... In this case dmesg could be useful. If you have time you can send it, yes.
And I reconfirm that it works for telegram
Hey, can someone show us the notification mod?
Pimp my Z1
As @B1nny suggested, I tried editing Pimp my Z1 to add fast hotplug support. Everything seems to work and I even added some tweaks for a better support for our Z2 ( some default values were not really compatible with our device ). There are probably bugs for configurations other than fast hotplug. If I have time, I will fix them but for now, please use another app to set your frequencies / governors / voltage or live with the bugs. If you have questions about the app, you could also take a look at the official thread to see if it is already there or maybe just to give the dev a thanks.
I'll probably make a pull request to @Androguide.fr with the changes but until then you can use my own build linked to this post. If you already have the app installed, you will have to uninstall it first because signature is different.
You can see the full source and the changes on my github : https://github.com/pec0ra/Pimp_my_Z1
Special thanks to @Androguide.fr for his great app and to @B1nny for his link

Good news to have a new kernel dev for our beloved Z2 !
However, I've tried to flash your kernel, the flashing process seems to work correctly but actually I stay stuck to the last doomlord advanced stock kernel. Any suggestion ?

You should try to extract the .elf from the zip and flash it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot <name>.elf
Anyone else experiencing the same issue ? Maybe I did something wrong in my zip.

I think you mean the .img file instead of .elf.
Other than that, the kernel works fine for me. I did manually flash it via fastboot. (because I prefer to flash it via fastboot)
I took a quick look at your updater-script and compared it to Doomlord's updater-script and this is what I found:
Your script tries to write the kernel to this partition:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/Kernel
While Doomlord's script writes the kernel to this partition:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
Maybe that's the culprit?

Yes, I meant .img. It seems like it'll take some time to get used to this new device. The kernel destination you pointed out is probably the issue, yes. And that's probably the notification problem too. Seems like the kernel never got flashed so it's logical that notification mod doesn't work...
I'll change this tomorrow morning
Maybe someone can test it until then.

Yes, this was indeed the issue, I've just succesfully flashed your kernel changing "Kernel" to "boot" in the script.

That's due to Sony's RIC being enabled by default. If you look at my previous post where I mention it there is a command you can run in ADB to temporarily disable it, not ideal but it will help you rename the file.

Wi-Fi doesn't work with a clean flash which was a deal breaker for me. Changing kernel eliminates most of the kernel features the OP have listed in the original post. Also, Reboot is acting like Power Off. I'm sorry but I can't suggest this ROM as it is kinda broken/untested.

I already tried testing this rom and after testing itself ill post in the section. Im really sorry for this problem my samsung vibrant device is completely dead now im unable to test the rom again if you face the wifi issue means please do this step and check "copy system/lib/modules from anyother 4.2.2 rom and replace with my rom and that will fix" After done this test and inform me everything will normal or not?
