Here are my ongoing projects for onyx:
Kernel: Codsworth CAF for CM and CAF based ROMs
ROM: AOSPA [WIP]
Kernel: Rudolph for OOS [WIP]
Those are my goals at this moment in time.
I appreciate all of you using my work. It's great to know that someone besides me is able to benefit from it. User feedback is the basis of what I do, so don't be afraid to speak out.
And as usual,

What are some of the roms that go with this kernel?
Finally Practical makes it's appearance on XDA.
It's the best kernel for onyx that I've used .

@RJDTWO
Thanks so much for the hard work.
I used this kernel few days ago for just 2 hours. Got the kernel from the telegram. My findings may not be correct but I like to share. Again, I may not be right. You know I am your fan so I will not try to flame you.
- I used zzmove performance (profile 8) overclock to 2.5ghz. Antutu benchmark score is very low at just 50k. When I used your Project Starkiller or Swell, I can easily hit over 60k.
- Above 2.5ghz is not stable. Got FC immediately after changing the maximum clock speed.
- Same as my earlier findings for voltage for USB and AC Charging. I did mentioned for your other kernels earlier. They appear in kernel aduitor (using GZR) but will revert back to 0 after changing. It's not working.
That's all. I will flash again once there's updates.
FYI, when flashing new kernel, I will always dirty flash ROM then supersu and so on before flashing new kernel.
Cpu hotplug?ur recommendations?
I know you don't support non-caf roms, but is the audio bug from swell with validus still there?
and what things are broken with no-caf roms? better use starkiller, right?

The version I posted here is newer. I removed AC and USB settings. Starkiller will have higher performance but please don't qoute benchmarks on everything. They are useless. I'm releasing Practical for non CAF ROMs in a month or so. Hold on. I'm not interested in performance with this. Don't over clock. Its pointless.

What are examples of caf roms?
I will be trying this today! On another note I'd like recommend the settings I use for the Interactive governor (as well as others) that's gotten me decent battery life but smooth operation:
Above_highspeed_delay: 20000 1700000:40000
Boost: 0
Boostpulse_duration: 80000
Go_highspeed_load: 50
Highspeed_freq: 1190400
io_is_busy: 0
min_sample_time: 60000
sampling_down_factor: 0
sync_freq: 0
target_loads: 80 1190400:99
timer_rate: 20000
up_threshold_any_cpu_freq: 0
up_threshold_any_cpu_load: 0
Edit: on CM I've turned off Align_windows and set Target_loads to just "50" for a bit of a boost.
Basically your device will stay at lower frequencies (for you underclockers out there..) while keeping the device smooth and fast. I'm writing this because I've noticed almost every kernel defaults to highspeed frequencies being 2.2ghz and the Go HighSpeed load is always 99 which basically nullifies the Above_highspeed delay.

Great settings for Interactive! Most of the governors with my kernel are rather conservative. Smartmax Darkness and Alucard to name a few. CPUQuiet is also really good about deciding when and when not to plug cores so it leads to a rather conservative experience

I am proud to announce Savage-Kernel to the xda forms. Currently in beta testing we worked from the latest invisiblek kernel newly undervolted, HAVS with the SBC mod.
JUST FOR @PonsAsinorem:::::: DISCLAIMER!!!! IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE... EVEN THOUGH THE KERNEL CANNOT BRICK A ROOTED PHONE UNLESS YOU FLASH A BAD RECOVERY..... DON'T MODIFY THE UPDATER-SCRIPT TO FLASH THIS TO YOUR RECOVERY!!!!!! .... ALL CHANGES TO THIS KERNEL STILL MEET THE MINIMUM SPECS OF THE INC.... UNLESS YOU OVERCLOCK... WHICH IS UNDERVOLTED... WHICH IS RUNNING AT THE STOCK VOLTAGE AND SHOULDN'T HARM YOUR PHONE ANYWAY.
SENSE BASED ROMS NOT SUPPORTED THIS IS FOR AOSP ROM'S ONLY
So far the Kernel works great in conservative governor. which all the devs prefer.

FAQ's
All answers are based off latest stable build
Which governor should I use?
Use Conservative for best battery, if you get any lag or choppy or shutter switch to either Smartass or interactive.
Which governors are tweaked?
Conservative and Smartass
I'm running smartass and having screenwake issuesm what do I do?
We suggest you set up a screen off profile of 245/384 to avoid the wake issue.
Have any more? Just ask!!

Guys, SBC *really* isn't good for the battery. Li-Ion batteries aren't designed to use trickle charging. IMO this will kill the batteries faster and isn't worth the extra charging.
waiting to try this... dont think it will hurt my battery in the short run... who keeps phones longer than 2 years anways?
True. I've gotten better battery life off of it, but I feel like my MIUI build recently has been getting worse due to the SBC mod.
Works on gingerbread roms?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
If it's AOSP, it should, but sometimes I've gotten weird reactions using kernels that are claimed to work on all AOSP ROMs (Kingx Kernel + MIUI = no-no. Also, MIUI + Hydra = no-no).
Point being, we should probably get this clarified. I've seen instances where people have lost touchscreen functionality (though usually that's due to a failure to wipe cache/dalvik) among other issues. Until we field test this on GB ROMs or until the OP states that it works on them, we should probably refrain from flashing it over a GB ROM. You can do it if you want, I'm in no way trying to make you turn away from it; I'm just saying take it with a grain of salt.
Plus there's the SBC issue to worry about; trickle-charging has negatively affected the battery performance of my MIUI ROM, so I'm going to switch kernels whenever I go back to it. Better charging in the short run < not needing to buy new batteries in the long run (and therefore saving money).

*sigh*...
Ok, clearly I need to start citing the comments I make. Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885476&page=25
The first post on this last page pretty much sums it up (actually, read 23-25 to sum up the main issues, it also has links to OTHER posts talking about the issues), but if you want other chronological examples of touchscreen failure or other issues you can read examples from pages 2, 5, and some places past page 15. SBC is bad news on its own, and adding overclocking to it just makes it worse. Again, you can use the kernel if you want, I'm not gonna stop you, I'm just saying that there have BEEN problems with it on other AOSP ROMs. MIUI seems to take pretty well to SBC in terms of battery, as I've seen; but, it's been getting worse as of late. UltimateDroid had a touchscreen failure (page 5) in v1; I don't believe that's been fixed yet, but feel free to correct me. MIUI had a touchscreen failure in v2 (though I think there might have been a bad flash involved, because I flashed SBC to my MIUI 12.24 at the time and it worked fine), cited page 23. Need I go on? Lol.
Point is (I've said that a lot, I know) that it does damage, multiple AOSP ROMs are getting touchscreen failure, and there's more harm than good that comes out of it.
Read: http://www.ziggy471.com/2011/01/02/overcharging-batteries/
That's a good link also. It's actually in the thread I posted, but its equally as important if not more important than my post. Good job man XD
Sent from my HTC Incredible running Carbonite Red 1.5.
Ok you all need to relax. SBC does not over charge your battery. The trickle charging is essentially the battery staying at 100% while on the charger. Lithium ion batteries have tech built into them to protect from over charging and such. SBC just means when you take it off the charger it will really be at 100%. You can't over charge aanyway. This kernel allows you to overclock but it doesn't force it. You need to choose overclocking yourself in setcpu. ... and 90% of the kernels in this forum have SBC they just either don't say it or they call it the battery fix. You can see it in their gits. On the evo forums we just call it SBC. Ill be posting the kernel today. If you don't want to use it. Then don't. It was just requested that I port my evo kernel over to the Inc. So I am.

Conservative by nature is more power friendly as it only ramps up the processor as requested then brings it right back down to your min.
The way we have set our Governor is to optimize the Conservative Governor to get the most speed stability and battery life out of your phone.
I just got a config from one of your rom dev's to build the kernel so this should be posted by tomorrow.
I for one appreciate what you are doing. There is nothing wrong with having a variety of kernels to choose from. If you disagree with what this dev is doing, then use another kernel. We don't need to be running them off.

First things first: this is not a "best kernel thread", so please avoid asking or stating in that direction. This is all about spotting what custom kernels are compatible with Omni (for now) Nighties, and what has been your experience with them so far.
In my case, I've tried both Yank's (1.6g-beta2) and Boeffla (beta 1a) and they are working flawlessly. At the moment I'm using Boeffla just cause I find it easier to toy with different configurations and Yank's can only be tweaked from aroma. And in my personal experience, I've found that using ART instead of dalvik, it feels like I'm having a smoother experience (with a bit more battery drain, I must admit). But like I said, this is only how those kernels work on my device and that doesn't mean it will happen exactly the same way in your's and how you'd feel about them.
Any other kernels have been tested and are working in Omni 4.4 nighties?

I follow you, I would install dual boot with a custom stock 4.3 (Android Revolution HD) and an android 4.4 rom (OmniROM).
I could create dual boot between 4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4(only CM11) roms with excellent Googy-Max Kernel... but nothing to do with OmniROM 4.4 due to recovery or kernel incompatibility.
---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
Ah, I found Devil2 Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528624 that supports Omni 4.4... and dual booting
Never been a huge fan of dualbooting but since I'm planning to stay with Omni until we reach a estable build... I wouldn't mind giving stock 4.3 a spin.
Has anyone tried out Devil and Omni already?

Just as an FYI with regards to custom kernels.
Just like with CM - Anyone can submit code to a kernel repository through gerrit for review. So if you're running something other than the official kernel, ask yourself:
1) What is the alternate kernel maintainer hiding? If their change is so good, why shouldn't it be the default, and why haven't they submitted their change to gerrit for review?
2) If they did submit a patch it was rejected - ask yourself why? Code review is public so you can find the reasons given for any patch being negatively reviewed (assuming the kernel maintainer even bothered to submit it).

I´m not much more than a resourceful noob, I must admit. But even when your line of thoughts seems very logical, I wonder if there could be any other reasons for kernel maintainers like Lord Boeffla or Yank555 to remain aside from main ROM projects. Both of them have been around for long now, and I've experienced with their work in my device a lot, with no harm at all (I can't guarantee results for other people, just talking about my experience).
I guess custom kernels give you the chance to adjust your kernel to your own needs. Some people would be ok about sacrificing some performance to obtain a better battery result, or would like to have the freedom to choose the governor that best suits you, for instance. Isn't customization and freedom the whole thing about custom ROMS and GPL?
As for me, I go for customs kernels seeking a better balance between performance and battery life. The way I use my phone, I won't last a full day with original kernels. But I must admit that if I had an app to tweak Omni's original kernel myself, I'd do it (I don't got the knowledge to dev my own kernel, thought).

Would you like to impelement CPU and GPU overclock?
Would you like to implement CPU and GPU undervolt?
Would you like to implement WIP governors like zzmoove?
I aksed only three questions from at least a few more, and I'm wondering if you could answer "yes" to at least one. Making custom kernel or custom rom is a great thing because we can push device to the limits, while doing so shouldn't be suggested neither implemented in any official kernel.

Voltage control/overclock - The stability issues these cause isn't worth it. Especially undervolting - at best it saves 3-4% on CPU core power savings, which is only 1-2% of system power even when the cores are at full tilt.
Alternate governors - These will have to, of course, go through review as to whether they have a valid reason for existing. 90% of alternate governors out there achieve nothing that can't be achieved merely by tuning the defaults of existing ones. Many of them are 100% marketing bull**** - Lionheart being the most blatant example. (Lionheart is nothing more than conservative with the minimum polling rate limit properly fixed...)

Of course you're right but if we're talking about gaming then in long-run uV can actually benefit users a bit more that 3-4%.
The most interesting thing is OC. It's always nice to have a bit more power than usual if you're using it only for a short time. This way you get real performance boost when it's needed, for example when CPU is doing a longer task. Nobody gets hurt if CPU will work at let's say 1.6 GHz instead of 1.4 for a few seconds.
I understand what you're trying to say and I totally agree with you. Most of the changes could be and should be contributed to the base but still most of the devs (including me) wouldn't contribute non-universal device-specific changes.
This is the support thread for the T-Mobile / U.S. Cellular variant of the StarKissed Note 4 kernel.
This kernel currently supports all North American carriers through the use of specialized release packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.

OK, I've tried everything, time to ask for help. I've used quite a few kernel tuning apps, including your own, and no matter what i try, my settings won't restore on boot for one, and two, no matter what I set my min/max CPU to it will randomly jump back up to 1728 Min and 2803 Max and change my governor to interatcive. I'll notice my battery draining quicker, that's when I catch it and adjust it down. What am I doing wrong?

Hi twistedumbrella
I have a question.
Is there any benefit whatsoever in flashing any custom
kernels if the user never plans to modify or change any
of the default settings in the custom kernel?
If it's beneficial to flash a custom kernel without changing
any of the kernel's default settings what are the benefits?
Thanks!

The advantage to a custom kernel is the updated code. Even if defaults are left as is, they are not necessarily stock features. Stock kernels are only released with firmware updates, so a lot of the Linux updates can take a long time to arrive. Sometimes the carrier or manufacturer may not even perform Linux or upstream updates, only what it took to match any system changes.
Custom kernels often include additional battery saving or performance updates from the community. These updates may never be officially submitted. These updates may also be too specialized for the "general" kernel most manufacturers maintain, so they are intentionally bypassed.
Configuration is personal preference based on intended use. There is no benefit to using defaults other than lack of desire to customize. The defaults are generally what will be just enough of a starting point for everyone to easily tweak it to their desires, not necessarily what is best.
I configure my defaults based on averages. Some use what they consider the best overall setup for typical usage. Some aim for a specific usage scenario. I have to reconfigure the settings when I install because the defaults don't fit how I use the device (testing games for class projects).
It really is about finding what works for you even by trial and error.
On boot.tmo.11-08-2014_22.12.img
Can't change clock freq values at all. max and min stays at 1.498 GHz at all times.
Same issue is there a way to fix or should I just revert to an older kernel

It's being fixed. It was an issue with the defaults for umbrella_core. Temporary solution is to change governors.
Its stuck for me with every governor...... Just reverted... Anyway this kernel doesn't have BFQ... What's the next best scheduler for HD video recording.. Or are any if the included schedulers based off bfq? I just want to assign it as my SD cards scheduler because that's where I record everything .

CFQ is the closest. I forget if that was already built in. If not, row.
I will second Confirm the stuck govs and clock issue I get 1.4 low and 2.6 high and nothing changes no matter what app I use, also had 2 uncommanded reboot with screen off. Rolled back to previous one.

It's just a lot of busy work. Since it's online, we have to record presentations, record an explanation of all our changes, demonstrate the code in action, talk about plans, etc.
After all that I have to question why I had to submit an outline, repo, and binary. It's not like they're going to read the book when they can watch the movie instead.
Pushing an update now that appears to have resolved the issue. It was not the governors at all. Like any other frequency or screen issue thus far, it was hardlimit
I understand completely. I have an IT degree and been working in IT professionally since 1987. It has served me well so far.
After a lot of digging for where something is setting 1497600 (1.49) because the one place I had has long since been removed, I came across:
Code:
#define MIN_TOUCH_LOW_LIMIT 1497600
in cpufreq.h which is part of the stock kernel code. This is used to make sure that when the screen is being used, the CPU ramps up enough to make sure touch is smooth. That is NOT something I added into the kernel. Hardlimit added the capability to adjust these values, but they are still being set by waking the phone.
Anyway, the point is that I am doing what I can to resolve them getting "stuck" on this value, but the purpose of this post is to say that it may still be a "favored" value, but that is just how Samsung intended it.
custom kernel
WHY does this kernel go makes my cpu only go from 1497 MHz to 2457 MHz???
Even if I change the frequency of the cpu to max 2.8 GHz and min 268 MHz, it stays from 1497 and 2457MHz.

It hates you. It obviously isn't any of the huge discussion in the main development thread or this one if you still had to ask, so that's the only other answer I can come up with.

Ouch. That is like "can anyone verify this developer is worthless?"
Anyway, there is an untested update being pushed. The untested part should fix the frequency issue. It's untested because the change is swapping two lines. High was getting written to low and low to high. The result was everything reading invalid and defaulting to mid.
This is a home of White Wolf Kernel for OneUI and Los/AOSP based roms.

Set of rules for flashaholics by @flar2 .
Great guide how to avoid problems when flashing .
https://elementalx.org/ten-rules-for-flashaholics/
Please read and follow.
TWRP Usage Guide
Make sure your kernel support f2fs file system
1.Flash patched TWRP by yarpiin
2.MAKE BACKUP( Problems with restoring backups are solved now, but just in case)
3.Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe select Data and Change File System to F2FS, you can do the same to Cache ( Not recommended )
4.Restore backup of your data
5.Reboot & enjoy
Troubleshoot
It might happen that package extract error will occure when flashing the rom (or any updater-script based zip) . In this case just restart instalator and all should be fine.
Follow these steps or you will loose your data.

Better battery life with this kernel. Standby drain is much better, even with gaming with pubg with high fps
Hi there, just had an opportunity to delve through the source. Very impressive work and well done, without a doubt this will influence future releases of Endurance! Would also like to quickly address something I noted, as my kernel was heavily influenced by Andrei's work.
Your commit utilising Andrei's EAS values are outdated and following the BRE5 source drop have since been updated in the exynos9810.dtsi.
Have a good day, and thanks for giving me some more stuff to play with for future releases!

Thank you for that . Will revert it then. Yea shame that Andrei stop working on it . Have read his article. This is my first exynos device so it was a nice point of start.
One thing that i noticed withs flars OC that frequencies are going to max value 2.7MHz just at ceratin ocxasions and i think that not all cores at the same time . I decided to use that commit to find out how it does work. When disable Exynos hotplug and OC big xluster to anything above 2324MHz device crashes under the load . So to make it bir snappier i jave kept Andreis max frequencies but also raise min as 850Mhz is the highest one with same voltage as the stock lowest.

I agree, truly great work accomplished by Andrei. it is a shame, albeit his merging in of the 16ms PELT was IMO the best thing to happen to this device yet.
Yep that's the nature of hotplugging. I eventually decided to maintain hotplugging and the max quad freq of 1794MHz to conserve battery. I've found hotplugging just to give insanely good Geekbench scores and not much more, likely due to the very very rare usage of those frequencies in realistic workloads. No noticeable regression in performance using 1794MHz quad in regards to user experience when using 16ms PELT.
I use 2002MHz on my OC build as I find it the best balance of performance and battery for the device. 2314 is too much of a battery regression with quad frequencies for me to justify the performance boost.

I will agree but after weeks of testing I havent found 2314MHz has a massive impact in the battery
Nature of hotplug in exynos is totaly different than snapdragon and one that I jsed to . Trus hotplugging is actualy offlining not needed cpus in my meaning.
