Testing helium in temasek, for now all working right and cpu freq. goes to 1728Mhz. Very similar to last stock cm kernel but with usb fast charging :good:
I have a question @tommons (or sombody): Why do you include KSM? In Tangerine kernel it made the device laggy, increasing the power consumption due to the continous work of cpu cores and soon many of us saw that this feature wasn't good to our Xperia Sp. I always leave it off and better overall performance is achieved.
In init.d options of Kernel adiutor we can see the entry 01tangerine. Delete this entry is the same that going to /system/etc/init.d? I suppose that is.
BTW, great work and thanks for your dev time.

KSM (in v2, UKSM) is there as an option. Nobody forces you to use it It uses more power but the result is a better RAM management.
Yes you can delete 01tangerine from Kernel Adiutor too.
Trying v2 with carbon 5.1.1 seems everything OK..good work man ;D

I have tangerine 9.1 and CM12.1 on my device. Which steps i need to follow in order to have Helium?
Overclocking?
Can you build a overclocking option from this Kernel, In Tangerine Kernel my Cellphone is stucked on 1444 MHz on all gorvenors, Can you do it? A Overclocking to 1.94 GHz or more ?

Flash the stock boot.img of your CM build (if you have CM+Addons, it would be better if you flashed the boot.img of the Addons you have installed on your device), enter TWRP, install Helium.
Or, in an easier way, next time you update your CM nightly flash Helium instead of Tangerine!

Overclock needs some work and I'm very busy at the moment. Frequency fixes will come very very soon. In the mean time you can flash v2.1, which hasn't got any issues with frequencies.
@Tomoms I am not able to install v2.2 on cm 12.1 using twrp it says unpacking kernel and nothing happens I have to hard reboot.anyone know how to solve this?
Helium Kernel v3
On Helium Kernel v3 the frequency is stucked on 1458 MHz on both cores on all gorvenors and I/O Schedulers.. :crying: :crying:

Good! Well, actually that's bad, but I expected it. Will fix ASAP (that is, unfortunately for you, on Sunday/Monday).
Use v2.1, it doesn't have problems.
For the others: I remind you that this doesn't mean v3 is buggy. This bug appears only on certain devices confused and mine is one of the "lucky" ones. So the best thing to do is to try v3 and see if you're lucky or unlucky. Hopefully, the bug will be fixed with v3.1.

Is TRIM support planned? I think that it is essential for device with such slow flash memory.
As for now I'm using heavily customized Tangerine 9.2 + last Xenon HD which gives great performance, but has issues (inaccurate GPS, big lag after locking the screen, touchscreen not working couple times a week and a few more). Tested latest CM12.1 + Helium 3.1 for few hours and it looks promising, but feels slower than much more bloated Xenon HD + Tk9.2 (used since September) possibly due lack of TRIM support.

You can use the command line utility called fstrim or mount the partitions with the "discard" option. The latter way is more difficult because it requires unpacking the kernel, the ramdisk, and then repacking everything.
Swap crashing problem is resolved in v3.2?

I think that it was my mistake - I cannot remember if I enabled root before issuing TRIM - shame on me
I am using Trimmer utility and running it resulted in instant execution without returning trimmed size in gigabytes pointing that either root was not enabled or TRIM was not supported. Judging by your reply I can assume that TRIM is supported so I think that I'll make second attempt to CM12.1 when touchscreen issue is fixed* or CM13 when camera will be working.
* I just read that @Adrian DC fixes has been merged in 3.2! I will check that kernel as soon as I can! :angel:

Featuring a new cpufreq interface, AbyssplugV2, intelliplug and a whole host of new additions that are not available in any other kernel for the x3.
Among them are updates only found in this kernel, saner defaults via config, better optimizations for the actual code and a rewritten version of devfreq.
It also have an updated baseband configuration and built in rather than to keep a module as it makes no sense to have a vital function as a module.
https://bitbucket.org/mourta/liquid_kernel_lge_p880-stable/
Kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/download/viy5a3dtaccd0gm/mourta-stable-08-23.zip
If there is a request for it i also have a ROM available based on grouper blobs, AD optimizations and a build around this kernel with a new dev tree.
For kernel install, it's anykernel, you can install it on any custom ROM, for stock and the lastest updates you will have to head over to Modaco and my original thread.
Note that this is a one time release, if you like it you'll have to head over to modaco to get updates.
it should be noted that the recommended settings is using intelliplug (you may need to use kernel tweaker or trickster mod for that if you're not running my ROM, and abyssplugv2, i also recommend ROW for a sheduler and Westwood for your congestion handling.
Note that you can now overclock to any frequency and it will feed the GPU chip with the needed volatage, this is great for cooking a roast beef but not for any practical use.
Quadrant scores are 8k and the last Antutu was at 16487, no overclocking but you won't reach that without using my ROM.
And with that... i'm done.
Thanks to the IODAK, Fransico, Adam77Root, Faux123 and others that provided code and/or input.
Oh, what I see here? The awesome kernel I'm testing with @ottomanhero and lucaarx and the great dev and friend @IcanhasLG coming back on xda? Let's rock hard&heavy, right now!

We'll see how this goes.
Thankfully i am in touch with a mod that will keep this drama free,
And for anyone wondering, peppethustra is head of my testing crew, you get stable releases because of them.
It should be noted that i'm still going to prefer the forum that greeted me over the one that shunned me from the get go, updates here will be sporadic at best but on time on the other forum.
It's great to see your work on XDA.Now everyone can experience your awesome work
P.S. you can find neccessary links in my signature
Great work, running your kernel now.
But Iodak was not updated since long ago and its sources does not contain many great fixes from cm11 kernel.
Thats why Demetris relased Cyodak kernel in Android development section. It's Iodak brought up to date with latest cm 11 kernel .
It would great to see Muorta Kernel based on Cyodak instead of old Iodak. We would have your exclusive features with up to date cm11 kernel upgrades. But maybe you already upgraded iodak's source, let us know

Obviously, the real necessary updated patches have been implemented yet ("continuation" means this, too), so it's not necessary nor in Mourta's plans to base it on cyodak (which really isn't the only way to find updated code for our device)

Outdated sources never are a good base for developing a fresh new kernel or ROM, if there is a new compatible code implementation ready to be merged into the code That's the first thing a good developer checks (and if you can, look at Mourta's bitbucket linked in the OP to view his commits, there will be all the principal news about new code implementations)

Can you give more info about your ROM, kernel settings, setup etc. and provide a logcat if possible? That's a rare issue you're having there.I've used my phone for 20 hours now, (%3 battery left) and it slept for about 15 hours, same version.
I suggest you to try flashing the kernel twice.I had such problems with iodak kernel back in the time and flashing it twice had fixed the deep sleep issue.

@peter_altherr And more important thing: have you at least wiped cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel? If yes, try wiping system partition too (no factory reset, you can leave /data partiton intact) then reflash ROM, gapps and kernel, and see how it goes..wait 3 or 4 minutes before trying to wake up device, after the first boot, and deep sleep would start without problems
I have tried the 26/8 version but that still gives me RIL problems, I get no signal whatsoever. I cannot grab a logcat as I need my phone to work right now but I'm Running latest beanstalk version.

@peter_altherr you should unplug it from charger and try unplugged.
when charging cpu never reaching deepsleep.
@ whoever had freeze/sod problems with last kernel version: a new fixed release has been uploaded (it's a minor release: reverted GPU OC, which was causing the problem). Check official thread for the download link
my phone does not see SD card with 0902
and yes im 100% sure its kernel problem....recovery sees my sd, and so iodak kernel
[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)

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.

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.

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.

This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 12.1, which is based on the EvoMix kernel by Alx31TLse, olivieer and SuperHanss (full credits to them). It is compiled by a Linaro 4.9.3 toolchain, which was optimized for Cortex A9 CPUs (thanks to Christopher83). It has a focus on stability, performance, endurance and overclock-ability (roughly in that order).
It uses the original ramdisk of the installed kernel (thanks to osm0sis), for maximum compatibly in the long run and instant adaptability to most source changes of CM. For now, it probably only works with the very latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58006383&postcount=1), due to the introduction of new sensor drivers! It should now works with other CM12.1 based ROMs, like crDroid and PAC, too. Please don't report bugs to qsnc, if you are using this kernel!
Features:
CPU: over/under-clock 1728MHz-192 MHz possible
governors: ondemand(plus), intelliactive, wheatley, ElementalX, ...
GPU: over/under-clock 487MHz-27MHz
governors: simple, performance, powersave, ondemand, conservative
File-systems: ext2/3/4, F2FS, exFAT, NTFS
Schedulers: noob, deadline, row, cfq, bfq, sio, fiops, zen, vr
intelli-plug hot-plugger and power saver (disable MPDecision first!)
Voltage Control (OC/UV)
Sound Control 3.x
poweramp controls (loudness enhancements)
screen colour tweaks
full NEON support
KSM support (Kernel Samepage Merging)
multicore power saver (recommended: enabled)
multirom compatibility
...
Performance: about 10% faster than original CM12.1-kernel with same settings, and some additional 20% speed by using maximum over-clocked frequencies (use at your own risk, every device is different!)
Configuration: Kernel Adiutor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor) or PerformanceControl 2.2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads)
Install: just flash the attached zip with CyanogenMod Recovery, TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...very-twrp-2-8-7-0-pollux-polluxwindy-t3187811) or CWM
Install a custom recovery first! The simple CyanogenMod Recovery, which comes with most ROMs, is pretty useless anyway..
Uninstall: re-flash the complete ROM (just re-flashing the original kernel is not enough!)

Kernel Special Features: CM12.1 EvoMix kernel, compiled by a Linaro toolchain, which supports OC/OV, intelli-plug, Sound Control, NTFS, exFAT, F2FS, NEON, KSM, ...
Version Information
Status: Stable
Just installed latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc and this kernel. Seems great so far! Boots a lot faster and kritika plays faster!
I'm trying the overcloacking with Kernel Adiutor set to 1728MHz, I've to 3C widgets installed to monitor temperature and such. Great job!
May seem a bit offtopic but how is the combination intelliplug-ondemandplus?
I think i get some lag with this but it may be a placebo

First, I also used this combination, but experienced some lag, too. It is not necessary to enable intelliplug and I'm not sure if it does any good, since hot-plugging is handled by auto_hotplug. Actually it is not even included in the original EvoMix kernel.
I'm now using only intelliactive, which seems to keep the frequencies low most of the time, while producing only minimal lag.
But maybe it is really a matter of believe..

The over-clocking capabilities of the EvoMix kernel are rather conservative. I personally use it with maximum CPU and GPU frequencies and even a general -50mV under-voltage, and it seems to be perfectly stable. But no guarantee, every device is different!
Thanks for Kernel !
Multirom Patch inclusive ?

Yes, I think so. But please try it out and confirm if it works, since I have not tested it!

Traced the cause.After some time with intelliplug+ondemandplus cores 2,3,4 are permanently disabled.Now i am on intelliactive.Very good so far
I've been using Wheatley and OC 1728 for couple days now. No lag, no heat issues, everything is just peachy!
Hi! Can I use this kernel on my sgp321 Pollux? Tried to flash but get error.
Pollux build will be released later...
New build in first post!

If you, or anybody else, is able to re-flash the original CM12.1 kernel via fastboot (in case something goes wrong) and is willing to beta-test, write me a PM!
Yes its kexec patched, but we need to make tab z official to multirom app support, problem is...im running out of time, full time job, 10 months old baby ...kernel is time consumer, thanks to BlackAfgan to maintaining it.
More goodies to come

So apparently my tablet hates me. I can't get this kernel to actually flash for ****. I'm using the 5/27 CM 12.1 from the OP. Tried both versions of the kernel. It acts as if it flashes but is much too fast and the kernel version is the same. TWRP 2.8.5.0 from the OP link too.
EDIT: Nevermind I guess. Moved it to the root of the internal and renamed it to a shorter filename and it pushed it properly. No idea what was going on.

Try to format /system, reflash CM 12.1, reboot into recovery again, then flash the latest kernel, please.

Yea I had done that. It only worked after moving it. I also renamed it at the same time so I dunno which fixed the issue.

I had the same problem, especially when I flashed an already flashed kernel. I never found the actual reason, but at one point it started to work perfectly all the time..
This is due the pretty complicated process of splitting the original kernel of and recreating the new one in real time, on the device. Normally the developer does this on his PC, and releases a directly flashable combination of the actual kernel and a custom ramdisk.
If other people have the same problem persistently, I may publish an conventional kernel. Please report!
Does this work on "[Rom][UB][5.1.x][SGP311]☆Dirty Unicorns v9.3☆ Unofficial +EvoMix Kernel" rom??
So i tested the latest version.I use intelliplug+intelliactive
No issues so far.Intelliplug is shutting down cores faster which will propably save some juice
Also feels a little colder than before when gaming(asphalt 8)

oh, ok.
then I dunno, pm me an external link for that ? i really want to try change the kernel, but don't want to mess up the device, i could google it but preffer a recommendation of a tutorial by someone who understands more about it than i dunno.
anyway, thanks.
Hello, your kernel is very good, very fluid and good battery consumption in CM13, it would be possible in the future to add support KCAL?, can change the saturation, contrast, etc., thank you for your work.
[DEV][PATCH] KCAL - Advanced color control for Qualcomm MDSS 8x10/8x26/8974/8084/8939
Great kernel. Has improved battery life quite a bit !
Thanks!! Testing on CM13... Looks good
Good battery consumption.

Great kernel so far, thanks for making a custom kernel for 6.0, I've been waiting for one.
Would it be possible for you to add support for DriveDroid to your kernel?

Your kernel its a dream hahahaha I was waiting for a kernel with fauxsound since I've bought this phone. So, first of all, thank you very much for your kernel and we appreciate your work and your time spent with this kernel. But lets get to the facts:
1) In RR 5.6.0 your kernel cause bootloop;
2) In CM13 (specifically 2015-12-12 build) I had a lot of random reboots and the sound (specifically Play Music and Deezer) sometimes was cracking or just not played;
3) In CrDroid I had the same thing in CM13 but the rom has some serious bugs, so we don't count it;
4) In Nexus Experience 10.0.4 I just had ONE random reboot (take note: the first boot, so lets blame the instability of the rom) and, since then, my phone is working completely perfect.
5) With kernel auditor all of my preferences are saved and sticked after a reboot (in Nexus Experience 10.0.4)
Note: All of the Roms was fresh installed, wiped everything (including internal storage) then installed ROM->GAPPS (NX GApps in Nexus Experience and OpenGApps in the other roms)->KERNEL
Maybe with some work in your kernel and in the newer roms, this phone will gain some fresh air!
Thank you again!
Ps.: not an american guy, so please, I'm sorry for any english mistake

I just asked for Vinicius post for me , since I had not yet allowed to post in section ...
This is the PB1 version of NN-J kernel. It's going to go in a little different direction than the previous kernel. There are a lot of changes in PB1. That's why a new thread. And I'm not very good with Git. So may I present to you.....
NNPB1-Kernel
This will work on the T710 and 810 Wifi only models.
You flash this at your own risk. There's the discaimer.
Install instructions:
You MUST HAVE ROOT and TWRP installed to flash this!!
It's built on Lollipop 5.1.1 - I have no idea what will happen if you flash this on anything else!!
Flash kernel then wipe cache and dalvic
Reboot and profit!!

New and latest Kernel. Source makes me put this in a new thread. And I suck with Git. (Or I just know what I HAVE to know about it)
There is No Synapse interface built in yet. But don't let that stop you. It's running really good. I think you'll like it.
Edit: 810 is up. Thanks to @Billy06010 for testing

Post above, yes and yes. You can always flash/restore back to stock if it's not for you. Just another choice.
it is running good.. I just see all the time a notification of a security warning.. (in my lanuage). unauthorized actions detected

You probably need to delete, in system/app/SecurityLogAgent.apk. It only happens with bone stock ROM. In my roms, it's already removed.

That's through the ROM. platform.xml is the file that needs to be modified. It's in my roms as the "SD card fix".

Thanks, i flashed the canadian stock rom and then your kernel. As there is no Xposed framework now (i had before) what
ROM do you recommend to flash (must be deodexed i suppose) ?

Edit. Gapps and permissive hack you shouldn't need though. They're built in. But maybe??
