Hey all,
i am searching for something special, which none of the well known kernel designers could offer. I myself cant create kernels
Here is what i am looking for:
Device: Nexus FroYo with root
Kernel features:
OC: 1.13 GHZ
UV: 800mV
Audiohack
Ramboost
Is there anyone that could create a working Kernel with the given features?
Thx a lot

The closest one you'll find with everything you need is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653598
It doesn't have OC but it's not necessary anyways. It has everything else you want.

i know, but its exactly what i need. OC AND UV...thats why my request. but thanks for ur help,
im using intersectravens atm bfs .34 now...but it doesnt have OC
Froyo = pimpin'
With Froyo, you dont need OC... I thought I NEEDED it... but with SetCPU on active you'll see that the phone really only needs to run around the 245Mhz mark on the home screen and it'll rarely use all 998Mhz that it has...

I'd say it's a want, no so much a need, but I digress.
Wait for Ivan to update his kernel. He's been MIA though. Maybe he's dealing with real life. Look for his kernels a couple pages back and PM him. Or maybe send an email.

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

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

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

Ummm... didn't we test this out in some huge blind test of kernels and conclude that 950 gets better battery life than 800?

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

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

Raven really hates overclocking so this will never be in his repo. But what I might end up doing is compile and upload to mediafire when a new update is out, if there is enough interest in this.
First time posting here. And first time user of custom ROMs.
I recently unlocked my Incredible S and flashed VivoKat 4.4 by szezso on it. It is a nice build and most things work in beta quite well; however, I don't have permissions to post on that board to report bugs and ask other build related questions, like how is battery life compared to other ROMs.
I noticed I barely get 1 battery charge per day, whereas I used to get 2 days with my old gingerbread.
So I was wondering if I should go with an older ROM, feature complete, that might have better battery life. If so, which build do you recommend?
Thanks
PS: to the guys on the VivoKat thread (since I can't post there), here are some of the bigger bugs I found:
- microphone doesn't work on speaker mode
- physical buttons don't work if you disable touch-vibration on them
- main screen icons/shortcuts disappear from time to time if the apps crash
Question:
- to install today's update of VivoKat do I need to wipe everything (all data) and flash the new version, or can I update without wiping everything clean?
- I have the full "ROM manager" app, but it doesn't find updates for this build. Will that be available at some point?
(I really like the look of 4.4 on this custom ROM so it's be nice to help out with finding bugs - good work szezso)

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

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

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

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

kernel code is GPL, if you got it from a publicly available source then no permissions really needed
If you come up with anything that you think may be beneficial.. maybe me or @szezso can work on integrating it or you can post it somewhere

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

There is still little information about the octa variant. No review about score and battery life.
So I was able to install antutu on demo unit. The score is high and the phone is not heating. All 8 cores can run together but Antutu reports the freq is 500-1300MHz and not recognize the cpu model name.
Please post your benchmark and battery life.

Damn. Exynos is consistently higher than the Snapdragon 801 in Antutu.
Only disappointment is the lack of LTE though(and ROMs too).
The new Exynos version come with new kind of fine-grained power management, overheating should be of the past and impossible.
Here's a benchmark video of the Exynos version.
It scores a chart topping 39029 on Antutu, that too without all the benchmark boosting involved!

Samsung advertises "True Octa Core" capabilities with this device and this certainly means that Samsung is shipping the device with HMP enabled.
Does HMP offer better battery management over the previous implementations?

It comes with HMP but that's not what I'm talking about.
The device comes with something called ARM Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) which is basically a very fine-grained power tracking and estimation thermal framework to control DVFS. The device is capped at 3.5W TDP between all CPUs and GPU, so it should never cause a heating overrun. And it seems that it doesn't affect performance given the videos.
Galaxy s3 + galaxy s4 = galaxy s5
Amazing power

I've read the opposite from other people such as the OP. All depends on firmware you had on your version. We'll see when somebody actually bothers to properly test it. I'm just stating what I see in the code.
@dragon135
The 5430 has a HEVC decoder, dedicated clock domain on the display interface, higher clocks in general, GPU at 600MHz (no info on core count but improvement is a possibility), and a new dedicated A5 co-processor for audio decoding and encoding called "Siren". The HEVC decoder alone is worth it imho since it provides good future-proofing of the device.

The 900H I tested ( i made a vid on that ) was hot as hell after 2 or 3 antutubench. Not sure as if it was the final version but my first impression on the Octa was really really impressed with fluidity and speed. However, if watch closely to my vid, u can see the octa will slightly slow down and get hot after a period of hesvy tasks. I wouldnt say it might be at that overheated but I can feel the temp while holding 2 different variants in hands. Well, let see how the octa performs in the future. I might get 1 final H version to test to but I want to get the M8 to test as too many guys claiming the M8 is way better than the S5 hehe.

Adreno 330 latest drivers for Android 6.0+
The latest driver in custom ROMs causes system reboot after playing any type of video. I removed the files that caused the problem. It seems to be all right.
I ported this drivers from Qualcomm latest adreno drivers June/2016 and may/2016.
Work only in 6.0+ custom roms.
Don't try in official Rom or custom 5.0 or 5.1 roms It Will Brick Your Device.
According to reports, the drive may also work on other devices that use adreno 330 gpu.
Can increase the benchmark score, improves the fluidity of the animations, 3D performance. say what else has improved
Make backup for your system partition so you can get safe.

Some games can have a very significant frame increase. This does not happen with all games, not everyone gets such a high boost, but you can feel the touch a bit more responsive in most games and apps.
This game on the ultra before was not playable. See the frame rate before and after the driver:
I flashed it and i can confirm now my phone feels better specially on games

I tested on mokee rom 7.1 and 8.1, stable so far.
Just flashed on ResurrectionRemix 6.0.0 everything is way smoother especially on games thanks!
Will this work with Android 8.1

by the sounds of it, yes.
I flashed the driver a couple of hours ago, for now seems to be fine, not known obvious improvements maybe I have to look a little better, in any case it crashed once WhatsApp and while playing a game an hour ago the phone was frozen for a few seconds. ( Rom los 14.1 )

I think it will be more noticeable if you go back to the old driver, maybe you will notice more of lag input. About the freeze, I have not had it yet, I'll try to repeat the error. Are you using custom kernel, CPU voltage settings? which applications were you using?
What am I doing wrong? The performance is even slightly worse with this mod. Only on AnTuTu GPU is a little bit better...

I've been using the same rom and the same custom kernel (Tuned kernel) for an entire month with intense undervolting, but I've never had any problems with these settings that I've been using for more or less a year. Only yesterday this happened to me, and this morning the playstore crashed. These crashes have been 3 for now, but I have never had them before, but they are not continuous crashes, only once and then everything goes perfectly. The game I was playing was this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disney.wheresmywater2_goo

I still can not say exactly where it will increase or lose fps. I did some benchmarks and realized that in some cases there may be a decrease or increase in the frame rate. I am testing the driver for a few months and whenever I return to the previous drive I can see delay in the games, I will continue testing.

In Mokee so far I have not had any problems 7.1 and 8.1, I will check in Los14.1.

I think you're better now. A new version will be posted shortly.
New version:
Fixed low performance in some apps
Fixed the instability in roms LOS-14.1 (I hope).

Wait a moment, I believe I have uploaded the wrong file.
Thanks

Mokee 7.1 + Tuned Kernel
No this is no the same throttling issue that the Nexus 6 is known for.
I am running Lineage OS with the latest version of Popcorn Kernel. When my battery gets under 50% all four cores will still be online but the frequency will never go above 1497MHz. Even if when I change it manually in kernel Auditor it switches right back off of it.
Anyone know how I can prevent this?

You can't, as it's working AS intended.

Sorry for the dumb question but what is AS?

A typo. I meant 'as'
The reason is the current drawn from the battery has to be limited to prevent sudden shutdown or crashes.
The level where this limit kicks in has to be chosen very conservativly because some devices are already more then 3 years old.
If you have a newer device with a battery not aged that much you can always compile the kernel yourself and change those values.
Have you tried turning off BCL and changing values in thermal-engine-shamu.conf file? I did both and it did the trick as it seems. Only issue I have is cpu overheat throttling.
sorry double post

I haven't tried that. Could you tell me where I can find this file?

If you are using LineageOS it's system/vendor/etc/thermal-engine-shamu.conf
But I would recommend only changing it if you really know what you are doing.
Wrong thermal values in this file caused the well known death of many Nexus 6p devices.

So in that case would the safest solution be to complie Popcorn Kernel 1.7 myself? I don't even know where to start with that process. All I know is that my battery isn't that old and shouldn't be throttled at 50%.

Could you recommend a value to change? I've looked through the file but I'm not sure which value would choose when the CPU throttles.
