HALLO THAR me again. Ninphetamine 1.0 didn't go so well did it? I thought I'd lost my mojo. Some even had me wondering if my prior good works had been the freaky sort of flukes that would have been better spent on guessing lottery numbers than giving you lot new toys. I was down. Broken. Beaten. So much so even my sarcasm had left me, opting to close the thread after the billionth stupid question rather than scythe down the scum that floats atop our gene pool with my usual aplomb.
Down but not out the Ninphetamine team went back to basics and discovered this mysterious random reboot was still present. Many WTFs were uttered. So we seriously downgraded our building tools. Still random reboots. Many WTFs were screamed from the rooftops. Then someone "helpfully" mentioned that older Samsung ROMs were also plagued with a random reboot issue that disappeared some time a few ROM releases later. The same person "helpfully" mentioned that the Samsung kernel source was released around those early releases. I say "helpfully" instead of helpfully because it would have been HELPFUL if it'd been mentioned before hours had been spent reversing patches and performing voodoo ritual chants to try and get to the bottom of the problem. I looked back on Samsung's source website and discovered a recent KERNEL UPDATE and patched it into my source. BOOM, random reboots gone.
WELL THANKS A ****ING BUNCH SAMSUNG. I am so pleased it didn't occur to you to update your available sources after you'd discovered it was a kernel problem causing the reboots. Full marks for it completely slipping your collective mind that, while being fully aware people would be producing their own works for this phone (I know you're aware because of how you didn't lock the bootloader), it wouldn't be a GOOD ****ING IDEA to perhaps at least release a patch for the problem if not the updated source. MONTHS it's taken you, literally MONTHS.
I hate you. However, I also love you. At least you -did- release an update (albeit being later than the pope to a contraception conference) and your cockup only served to reignite the fire that is my rage.
So, Ninphetamine 2.0. It's true that war drives innovation and the war on the random reboot certainly had us trying many different things and making various discoveries. Many of those have been applied to the now working base so everything I promised for Ninphetamine 1.0 is there and then some.
EVEN FASTAR!!!11. Yep. Get a good tail wind at your back, throw a dice on a double six three times in a row and you can even break 4000 on Quadrant at stock speeds WITHOUT ANY CHEATING. I know Quadrant is largely a meaningless test, results rendered utterly useless by all the retards that mount everything to a ramdisk before running so they can masturbate furiously at HIGHER NUMBERS firmly and unironically of the belief that it increases their self worth and reputation. Performance is smoother however and responsiveness improved as well over Ninphetamine 1.0. Remember if you're the sort that does care about Quadrant scores, given that Android has the attention span of an eight year old child after consuming enough sugar to kill a diabetic in seconds, Quadrant needs 2-3 runs before the OS realises it might be a good idea to make sure the app has the CPU and memory resources it actually wants. Or you can flip the governor to the Performance.

FASTURER THAN EVAN FASTAR!!!!!111oneeleven. Speaking of people that like to furiously masturbate over high yet meaningless numbers, the overclocking feature is back with a few bug fixes for good measure. As before it's capped at 1600MHz. We haven't added the GPU clocking yet as it's important to ensure that the current feature set is stable before adding even more. The voltage control interface is also included. Remember, if you're the type of idiot that understands nothing of overclocking or undervolting or how CPUs work in general, don't come crying to me when you try and run 1.6GHz at 800mV and find you have problems. The issue isn't mine, it's yours. Take it up with your parents who are also your aunt and uncle, remember if you can to thank them for providing further evidence that inbreeding is bad and produces morons that aren't capable of functioning in society. Thanks.
Base still at 2.6.35.11. After patching in Samsung's fixes to their own incompetence I'm pleased to note that we're able to stay at least at 2.6.35.11 base, thus keeping many important fixes, improvements and performance boosts from the main kernel team headed up by God himself Mr Linus Torvalds. You thought I was God? While flattered no, I am merely a disciple ready and willing to deputise for when he's too busy.
So download it, run it, break it. Remember, asking me things covered in my initial posts will anger the Android Gods and at best will result in your public ridicule at worst will result in a few plagues upon your dark dingy basement where you no doubt reside.
If you're going to report problems I want more than "HLAP MAI PHONE BROKED". Try and recreate the issue while running logging (instructions on how will follow in a FAQ post). If you're overclocking/undervolting or any combination of the two, stop it and see if your problem persists.
Don't report every single issue you have to me either. It's possibly a kernel issue if overall stability is affected, if you get a full reboot from the boot logo (NOT the boot animation, dropping to boot animation means Android crashed, not the kernel) or if you get a full lockup. If you find that in life in general people tend to stop talking when you're around, or they don't quite seem sincere when laughing at your jokes, it's probably you, not me, that's at fault because you're a bit of an idiot.
Now, there's been a couple of testers that have suffered a rare random reboot. I have a theory on this but to prove it, I need a wider audience. There will be a downloadable kernel that is SOLELY for anyone that suffers a random reboot under NORMAL (normal clock, normal voltage, no tegrak, using OnDemand governor) circumstances.
Download links will be in the download post. If you ask where download links are, I'll give you a very custom one of your own and who KNOWS what that kernel might do. You've been warned.
TO REITERATE - READ THIS
All new downloads should download the release version. Only people who get an unexplainable reboot while running under stock 1.2GHz (or less) conditions at normal voltage with no OC software installed should download and install the workaround version.
Thanks
Unlimited thanks to my wife for her boundless patience with my Android obsessions.
Many thanks to my genius partner netarchy.
Many thanks to my harem of testers, pulser, designgears, Ante0, mattgirv, Obihoernchen, Kullt, Veyka, Lenny, yoda and Rawat.

FAQ
How do I change my GPU clock speed?
Either wait for GUI support to appear in the form of an addition to SetCPU or a standalone GUI, or if you're confident with a terminal:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control/gpu_control # To view current settings
echo 267 300 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control/gpu_control # Sets GPU clock from 160/267 to 267/300
We currently have a 450MHz maximum clock and 10MHz minimum clock. The presence of these values does not necessarily mean your GPU can run at these speeds, like all overclocking your results can and most likely will vary. Do not come crying in this thread because you broke your phone or set fire to your desk or gave yourself third degree burns. Actually, do, I enjoy a good laugh.
Hey any update on you guys getting FEATURE done or CHANGE I'd like?
Given that I'm away on honeymoon in two weeks and we're expecting Samsung to release sources actually used with 2.3.4 Any Day Now (tm) any new features are unlikely to appear until September, unless you're part of my IRC Testing Crew and we start testing new features ready for the release of the next major version. So stop asking.
Uncle Hacre, I had a nasty crash and my phone rebooted, I want to help you debug this, what can I do?
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > lastkmsg.log
Then zip up the lastkmsg.log file and attach it to your post informing me of the issue.
I simply must have every possible second of battery life available, other kernel devs are disabling adb and logcat to make this happen can you do this please battery life is very important to me as I often spend days in Outer Mongolia with no access to power and that extra thirty minutes of battery life could be the difference between me tweeting I've lost my toes to frostbite or not!
Debugging features in the kernel are already disabled. Have I disabled adb/logcat? No. Will I? No. I'm at 50 hours uptime on my phone with just under 40% battery remaining. I see no battery issue. Whether the life can be slightly improved or not, removing a key debugging function from the land of custom ROMs is an incredibly stupid idea. What if you flash a custom ROM and there's an issue and the ROM developer needs debugging information to fix it? What if you install an app that has a problem and you cannot give any feedback to the app developer? Are you prepared to flash a kernel that has adb enabled any time you have an issue? For the minor gains in battery life it isn't worth it.
There's a ClockworkMod Recovery with a higher version number than the one you're providing surely bigger numbers means better why aren't you providing it?!?!
I'll update CWM Recovery as and when a version appears that provides a feature or fixes a bug that we're afflicted with.
WAAAAHHHHHHH QQ I have to wait ONE ENTIRE SECOND for my phone to wake up from standby!!!111oneeleven. This is totally unacceptable and it is ruining my life!!!
Of course it takes a second to wake up from deep sleep. Everything has been shut off, the CPU placed in low power mode and the entire OS placed into suspend. I don't know about you but it takes me far longer than one second to be fully coherent and responsive when I wake up in the morning and I've only got one brain to worry about, the SGS2 has two of them! Shut the whining up about this complete and utter non issue.
What ROMs will this work with?
The kernel has been tested with VillainROM 2.0 and 2.1. It should in theory work with any ROM based on a stock SGS2 ROM. However if your ROM developer requires a custom initramfs for features you may encounter problems.
How do I overclock my CPU?
Use SetCPU or Voltage Control, ensure you have the latest version.
How do I change the voltage of my CPU?
Use SetCPU or Voltage Control, ensure you have the latest version.
I cannot use adb install anymore.
We're aware of this and are working on a solution for the next release. In the meantime adb push the apk to the phone and install using a file browser.
My phone was running fine for hours but I just now had a random reboot. What should I do?
Learn to read. Download and install the Workaround Edition.
I have Tegrak installed while using your kernel, does that make me an idiot?
Yes.
Super Happy Fun Time

I'd really like it if people with a shoe size rivalling IQ would refrain from giving advice to users of our kernel. Advising to wipe cache/dalvik before changing kernel is akin to advising checking tyre pressures because the gearbox just fell out.

In fact how did you even manage to survive long enough to use a computer? Or am I looking at this from the wrong perspective, should I be thrilled that a Chimpanzee has managed to procure a PC and an SGS2 and already managed to flash a custom ROM to it? You sir are the reason new scissors are labelled with "Warning: contains sharp objects". Answers to all of the questions you've asked are freely available throughout the SGS2 forum and in the form of guides all over the internet. So not only are you bereft of the basic intelligence required to figure out which way is up, you're also lacking the kind of effort that's required to carry out the most simple tasks like "find a useful collection of words" and "read a useful collection of words". Shame on you.

Have a question about this kerel, I got 1 % drop per hour in standby ( sleeping 8 hour and wake from 100% go down to 93%). Is it normal?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it's not normal. This is outrageous. Thank you for submitting this bug report so that myself and netarchy can get to work right away on the part of the kernel that is supposed to suspend the space-time continuum when your phone goes into standby so that it uses no power whatsoever. You see we weren't sure whether to suspend time or have it invent hydrogen fuel cells and circumvent the battery during Deep Sleep so we opted for the far easier suspension of space and time. I'm awfully sorry that our experiment failed and we'll now look into kernel code that can combine matter and anti-matter for a low power sustainable reaction so that you lose no precious battery life at all while the phone is in standby. Or you could do us all a favour, including yourself and turn your phone off and never ever touch it again. That way the number of people you communicate with will be curtailed, your phone will never lose power and you'll never need to sully one of my threads again. You have all the intellectual creativity of a box of hair, a command of language worse than that of a deaf mute and an ineptitude so offensive it cannot be summed up in a single word, so I'll try three: You're a moron.

Might sound dumb? No no, it IS dumb. 4004mV is how much voltage is remaining in the battery you twatneck. Why are you asking what app you should be using when it is clearly stated ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE THREAD?. How has it escaped your grasp when editing voltages that are all ~1000mV that over FOUR THOUSAND millivolts might just be something else?? In fact how did the words BATTERY VOLTAGE not clue you in after changing CPU VOLTAGE? You're a (unfortunately) breathing example of never underestimating the lowest level of stupidity. If brains were chocolate bars yours would be labelled "Fun Size".

Taking a look at your kernel thread it's clear that you've as much clue as a lobotomised Orang-Utan. More steps on your CPU frequencies than there are on the stairway to heaven, you think somehow that 500MHz uses less power than 200MHz, governors included that anyone doing five minutes of research would know they're unstable, you advertise standard kernel features as unique features in your kernel (CFQ, CFS, boy those sure are new features!) and to top it all off you've got the cheek to take code from Ninphetamine and then come here and ****post.

Oh yippee the language police arrived. I'm so pleased you found the opportunity to take time away from your perfect life your perfect wife your perfect children and your perfect job situated high within that glorious and shining ivory tower of yours to descend upon us normal folk to educate us about our terrible language and vulgar manner of insulting those whom we only see as morose shambling idiots who cannot even manage to search a thread, whereas you see them as gleaming examples of humanity, bereft of love, attention and experience.
Well, as you're now down here on planet Earth, you globulating and sickeningly sweet preacher of goodwill, may I first introduce you to the word hypocrisy. Often rife among your dogooding kind, it means that you sit on high quaffing down pints of innocence and regurgitating it upon us regular folk as some kind of moral education, while still sneering like a ****ing 1930s cartoon villain. If you could get the shine of your halo out of your eyes for a few seconds and deign to look upon the unwashed masses, you'd recognise that dishing out lessons in manners doesn't often mix well if you throw in a dash of "insult their lack of any life worth living" or "let's have a pop at his wife".
You sir, are a **** but not only that, you're the worst type of ****. I'd rather deal with 20 of EACH of every idiot that precedes you in this posted collection of horrors than one of you, you vile and pathetic excuse for a human being. How dare you feign to come into my thread and chastise my use of language when you can't even ****ing spell let alone string a sentence together. You're not only offensive to the morals you're offensive to the eyes, you write down pure eye cancer and I implore you to stop.
I have never and will never excuse anyone's lack of common sense. There's a difference between not knowing and not even having the wherewithall to help your sodding self. I berate the latter and assist the former, whereas you don't flap your ****in caviar chompers unless there's some moral crusade to embark upon. How about you be honest with yourself and realise that you only arm yourself for combat and mount upon your trusty forum steed to put right what mere mortals like me have wronged, to give yourself grace and relief from the sorry, putrid and langquidly depressing state your own life is in. How about you spend even half the effort you spent ejaculating that illiterate and berating post into my thread, on sorting your own miserable existence out and then maybe we'd both be a lot happier. Your insignificant blip of an existence wouldn't be quite so worthless to you and maybe, just maybe, you'd keep your hypocrisy laden lectures to yourself which would in turn make me very happy indeed.

Nice work, I'm looking forward to this kernel as it evolves. Will be testing it out tomorrow.
I'm especially looking forward to GPU frequency and voltage control, as I'm running my GPU at 750mV instead of the default 1000 and the phone runs noticeably cooler when playing games, and thus logically would mean superior battery life while gaming. This would be a killer-feature in future releases, for me at least.
It would also be interesting to know if we'll eventually get "internal voltage" control some day. My deduction is that that would be the voltage for most things other than the CPU and the GPU like for example the hardware decoder/encoder as being the most significant part of the SoC, if it truly is things like the decoder, then it would boost battery life for video playback by some amount.

The next logical step is to work on voltage/clock control for the GPU. We'll then look at the internal voltage and what it affects. Not all Samsung's code is easy to follow.

WARNING THIS COULD AND VERY WELL MIGHT HARM YOUR PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You voted I have decided that what I will post here on XDA is a zip that contains the files needed to compile this on your own. This a development forum after all. I will also give you some simple instructions explaining how you can accomplish compiling this kernel.
I am including pershoots files for the 8mb ram hack along with the audio hack. I have modified the boardmahimahi.c and the acpuclock-scorpion.c to achieve a very minor overclocking. That being said, this can still harm your phone.
I have over-volted the processor to 1.325v. I have overclocked to 1.117ghz. If you were to over-volt the processor to 1.35v. That would be a 4% increase over max stock voltage. That 4% increase would result in roughly 8% more heat to your chip. I have halved the voltage but the heat increase is not linear so that doesn't mean it is half the heat. It sure isn't any more than 8% though. Anyway I take no responsibility for you harming your phone and that is why you must compile the kernel. I am only supplying knowledge.
Follow these instructions to set up your build enviroment: Cyanogen Wiki
What you need to do here is follow the instructions for compiling the kernel up until you get to step 5 of installing repo. Instead use this: repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b eclair.
Now follow the steps for preparing the kernel but before you do steps 6-8 here you need to cd to the directory you initialized the repo in, cd to /kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm and copy all but the q6audio.c file into here. Then open the q6 folder and copy the q6audio.c file into here. Then complete steps 6 7 8. You can play with some kernel settings but if you don't know don't do it.
If you want to enable some compiler optimizations you can do this before compiling:
export KCFLAGS="-O2"
then when you give the make command:
make KCFLAGS=-O2 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER
Once it finishes (30min-2hr) find your zImage. Then you can go and look in
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329 and in there you will find your .ko file to get your wifi working.
Download Source Files Here!
I will answer no other questions about this. If you need more help you should not do this. But there is always Google and a wealth of info awaits you if you use it!
CREDITS: Pershoot, Cyanogen, Kmobs (even though you hate it, you still inspired it with mention of the "Jesus Kernel"), intersectRaven, PsyQ, and many many others, I am sure!

What so wrong about this info kmobs ?,
Your kernel also overclocked from beginning and we still have unlocked bootloader.
I posted source files and compiling how to. All of this information is available on this site already. All I did was put it in one place for the people willing to take the time to set up and compile it for themselves. I did not post a zImage or an update.zip for the masses to flash. What I posted is what anyone with 1/2 a brain and a Google search bar can figure out on their own.
This pushes the phone far beyond its safe limits, not to mention the max voltage is actually set to 1.4v which is extremely reckless.

I completely agree plus very few will figure out how to do this. My only concern is that someone will post a zip file of this but oh well, I think XDA should benefit from stuff like this. This is development at it's finest.

If the information was already out there, why is this thread needed? All this does is simplify the processes of basically running too much electricity through your phone. My mod didn't affect voltages at all, which is why it wouldn't cause any long lasting damage.
If someone posts a zip file, thats probably going to be the end of bootloader unlocked phones.
Yeah, there is nothing like a bunch of people cooking their phones to really advance the development around here.
Google is going to love dealing with those support calls.
1.The max voltage is set to 1.4v however no frequency on the table uses that voltage.
2. Anyone who takes the time to compile the kernel could do this themselves anyway.
3. There was already a post on the forum explaining over-clocking. Almost to the letter I think, and after that was posted, the OC-UV-kernel was released.
Tell you what, I will fix the boardmahimahi down to 1.325 since the freq table doesn't go higher anyway.
Knowledge should be shared not horded.

There is a REASON that the phone is locked to 1.3v instead of 1.4, 1.325, or even 1.301. The processor is rated for 1.3v. Thats it. No higher. I know the OC-UV thread was posted you know.. since I'm the one that made it.
Like you said, there is already a thread explaining the overclocking, so someone that wants to do it already has the resources. All this does it make it easier for someone without knowledge of the dangers to take it and release it. Do you really want that?
So only your kernel acceptable and the other not ?

Persian I have a ton of respect for all that you have done here at XDA and helping others out. But honestly if someone is that stupid to install this without knowing something bad might happen, we got bigger problems than this post. But sharing is caring so while I get your point, I appreciate the OP putting up the information.
And on that note, a ZIP file is already in existence. I will not say where but I just stumbled across it (it's not on XDA).
ANDROID IS OPEN SOURCE! GOOGLE WANTED THE PHONE UNLOCKED!
Do you really believe that they did not foresee this? The whole point of open source is the sharing of Knowledge. It is not up to me or anyone else to decide who should and should not have access to knowledge (Steve Jobs?) If you don't like open source go hang out on an iPhone forum!
Yes this could harm someone's phone, yes some idiot will fry his processor with this knowledge. I don't see anybody complaining about the guy who posted a radio image and instructions on how to flash it. I have seen a few bricked Nexus One's from radio flashes though. At least with this Kernel they will see some instability long before anything drastic happens. Not so with a screwed up radio flash.
Now tell me I am wrong and why!

Google wanted the phone unlocked yes, but why do you think the regulator was put into place?
If google didn't care about people messing with voltages, they would have never implemented the regulator. Transistors and resistors DIE with extra voltage. Once they are gone, there's no bringing them back. I'm all for the advancement of the platform, but how exactly does this do that?
I understand why everyone is up in arms about this but this wont stop future phones from having an unlocked bootloader. That's why there's a big ass warning stating that your warranty is invalid should you unlock it. Anyone who compiles this kernel and flashes it knows they are taking a huge chance of frying their phones so in my opinion, that's on them. Personally I didn't spend close to 600 bucks just to turn my n1 into a pretty paperweight, but should someone not heed people who know what they are talking abouts advice, its on them.
All this will do is let the people who have no idea what they are doing, mess with something that we shouldn't mess with, or if we must mess with it, it should be a couple of people so that the masses don't get ahold of this and fry all their phones. 90 percent of ROMS here have the same warning label and I can guarantee that people probably don't even read them they just skip down to the instructions or to the download link. This is worse because it will actually fry their phones. If you are reading this do NOT attempt to do this. It will **** UP your phone.

You should be fine flashing over eb16 but adrynalyn would have said they have the dummy file if they did. Plus they are very new (ec10 is code for march 10th 2011), so I doubt they have any mods yet.

Description:
It does mostly everything EB16 does, in mostly the same way.
Unfortunately, Verizon isn't nice enough to include a changelog in their leaked beta internal release software.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about what happens when stock beta kernels are leaked. Maybe people are coming from devices that have custom compiled kernels, where the kernel dev actually helped modify the source code. In this case, yes, a dev will know most everything about said kernel.
This is not the case with leaked stock kernels (or any leaked data). The person who posts the leaked data is rarely an active part of development with the pre-compiled source code. They usually can only see exactly what you see: a compiled binary file. They usually install them on their phone, do some general testing to make sure basic functionality is intact, then they give them to the public.
That's where the public comes in. There are virtually infinite amounts of configurations on everyones' phones. The leaker usually only has one phone. If they are thorough, they MAY test it in a few different environments. Everyone has something unique about their set up or something that they really care about and notice about the behavior of their phone. However, no dev or even a small group of beta testers have the time or resources to test every single application/configuration/feature.
On top of this, the public wants immediate leaks ("You've been running something newer than me?! I WANT IT NOW"). They want the bleeding edge, without any of the bleeding edge problems. This creates a conflict between someone sitting on a leak for too long vs. thoroughly testing a kernel.
So if that's too long of a story, or I haven't made myself clear, I offer this summary: You are the beta testers. You are the changelog writers. You find out the description of features. The leaker merely leaks. Someone who actually cares a bit about public safety/performance (like Adryn) will take an additional step and optimize/mod/lightly test. But after that, the public is just one giant test group, and this is the way it is supposed to be.
If that scares anyone, they are welcome to wait a while and read through people's reports of their experiences with the kernel. If that is still too scary, then I hear that Verizon might be releasing this software on the 12th of Never.
And just in case I hurt anyone's feelings, I'm not singling you two out, and I'm not flaming you. This is a general public post aimed at addressing the overall concern behind this issue that comes up in every new dev thread. You both seem genuine and non-confrontational, but there is a wide range of people who come into these types of threads and whine and complain. So it's nearly guaranteed that someone else will enter and be like "OMG guize my phone iz broked how come you didnt say phone is broked???!!!!!" Then, everyone can point to this post.

Hello all!
Long time lurker here on the forums, but first actual post. I was hoping somebody here might be able to help me with a question regarding Eternity Project's cpufreq hotplug.
The link to the original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367255
Anyway, I have followed the instructions in the thread and have not exactly encountered any issues per say. I have set the appropriate script to run on boot and as su, and everything seems to be ok.
The million dollar question is this: When I open up setCPU to verify if all is working correctly, I can see the Eternity Project hotplug in the bottom left corner, which to me implies that it is operational, however in the centre of the screen it simply says 'governor moto hotplug', or some such effect so I am unsure of which is running. There is only one screencap on page 7 of the original thread, but it is using an alternative CPU management app and so provides an inaccurate comparison.
I am currently running J.Y.Daddy's GSM patched CM9 17.05.12 build.
Thank you very much in advance for your help, and I look forward to engaging more in this productive community.
Attached is a screenshot of my setCPU home screen. Notice the bottom left corner, and the central message.
Thanks again....oh wow, Sorry for Wall of Text.
I get the same thing.
Why dont you try benching it before and after? I had a small difference so also not sure if it is working
Hmm....must admit I know very little about benching. Could you recommend a starting point for learning? I am relatively new to this whole mod thing (had my XT910 since April and it's the first phone I've modded), but am very eager to learn as much as I can.
I'm currently studying IT, and am looking forward to being able to contribute to the development section, but you have to crawl before you can walk, ey? Havn't bricked my phone so far, so fingers crossed!
I tried downloading the version of the CPU app from the screenshot also and when I open that, it has 'scaling mot_hotplug' underneath the Hz counter, but it also says 'scaling eternity_hotplug' underneath near where the sliders are, so again, not much help!
Thanks for your response too!

when he states benching i think hes just referring to the tests u can do using setcpu. i think its the third or fourth tab!
hope it helps
I don't think it works on ICS though, I've tried it for Gummy. And I doubt it'll increase benchmarks, since it edits the "snappiness" of the UI, whereas benchmarks test the MAX ability (correct me if I'm wrong).
You can try editing the thresholds and sampling rates/periods? It'll make your phone rather snappy, in exchange for a bit of battery life.
Thanks for the responses guys! It's a bit of a relief that I'm not the only one a bit in the dark about this! I suspect that Spectral1991 is correct on the lack of support for ICS with this particular mod, so I reckon for now I might just leave things as is and wait (not so patiently) for the official OTA of ICS to be released before I start hassling people for support, lol.
Just to confirm, does anyone else who has this installed get a smilar screen to mine when they open setCPU? I just want to make sure I am at least on the right path, and this is not just some user error on my part.
Thanks again guys!
zwliew Kernel, flash and forget. Have a better experience without fretting over anything.
Just a quick intro to this kernel: I believe that our device is fast enough as it is. I aim to increase the potential and battery life of our device within its current CPU/GPU frequency or L2 bandwith. You don't have to do anything. Just install it and done.

Your instructions say to flash the zip file, however, only a .img file is available, which isn't a problem as it can easily be flashed of course using something like Flashify but you might want to amend them. Thanks for the kernel.

Sorry, copy pasta from Moto X thread. Fixed. BTW, once the production release of zK Updater is out, it can auto-flash your kernels.
Downloaded fine using your app. One thing that I would suggest however is asking the user if they want to flash the kernel rather than it downloading and installing straight away followed by a reboot. I wanted to switch back to the stock kernel prior to installing this but because it auto flashed never had the chance. Apart from that it appears to be working fine despite having been installed over another non stock kernel.
One thing I have noticed since installing it is that your app no longer works and crashes out. Have cleared data and cache several times to no avail.

Latest version installed and has sorted the issue thanks. Also seen the option to autoflash - not a problem now as its running your kernel of course!
What app do you recommend to tweak your Kernel with?
Thanks.
Comimg out of my 'retirement' to express my utter dismay that this 'developer' has taken the template for their application from the popular developer @Francisofranco and has utterly ripped off his work and branded it as his own. Don't beleive me? Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel Your developer is nothing but a fraudster without sufficent imagination or knowledge to make his own app. The only commands this guy knows is copy and paste. A cheap Asian rip off of the original high quality production. This one has the nasty made in Singapore etshed into the platic you cant remove without getting a file and sanding down your product. Do you want that to run your device? If so you are braver than me

Looks just like another Material inspired app to me, same as hundreds of others out there. Didn't realise that Franco had cornered the market with the design!! (and yes, I do have his paid app installed but don't use his kernels as I find them lacking in features - in fairness, I don't actually use his app as I prefer KControl or Faux.)

I don't think using Google's material design guidelines qualifies as a copy or ripoff.
I also own the paid version of FKU, but I can't see more than material design similarities.

With utmost respect for you, as we all should have for each other, if you came out of your "retirement" just to say that, you were better off retired mate. So much aggressiveness because of the app? Which isn't even is main development focus? Its just a "shortcut" to update the kernel. I respect you, I've seen you around and you seem like a good guy, but seriously mate, that wasn't cool :/

At first, I thought that the first version of the app ressembled a lot like the Franco's free FKU. (which was really the same thing only with a different color) I guess it was only used for a template. It then, with later updates, looked like it is a different app with its own implementations.
Looks like it was a rushed opinion to me on something not finished yet...

just a odd idea I thought I would share
I wonder if its possible to patch a kernel on load using safestrap
I am wondering if maby we can hex-patch the DVFS table at execute to at least gain some overclocking
I read the kexec thread but the consensus there is that development is stalled waiting for a breakthrough
thoughts :fingers-crossed:

You can overclock via module sure, hex patch prob not needed.

hrmmm.... you talking about patching the dvfs kernel module or writing a custom module ...
if so I am surprised nobody has done that yet ..
is hex-patching from safestrap at all feasible ... it would grant you the 'keys' to all manner of "doors"
I used to fiddle with it on my cheap mk808 tv stick before we had kernel sources
I am surprised nobody has used kmodule's as a "attack vector" people seem to be chipping away and the Mountain that is kexec instead of just focusing on patching the issues we have with the stock kernel .. . a few years ago somebody was doing hex patches to implement kernel changes on the first generation of rockchip powered "tv sticks" the same logic should apply here
then again maby I have just been out of the game for way to long ....
*continues pondering*

I have dabbled with this, using a custom module based on the 8660 overclock module I found source for somewhere. The reason kexec is so much more desired then fixing the current kernel is because patching the current kernel might give us more io schedulers, overclock, custom governors etc, but at the end of the day all that crap isn't worth much on the poor excuse for android ui known as touchwiz.
Idk about you but I can tell you I for sure would not want to post a thread on overclocking or modifying cpu via modules in this day and age of 'the entitled xda user'. Maybe that's why you don't see any threads.
You bring up a good point about how people don't understand the various uses kernel modules can provide including but not limited to being attack vectors (though to some degree this is being done with kexec).

ill be the first one to admit I haven't keept up on this stuff simply because the effort started outweighing the gain
it just seems to me that people are chasing clouds ... with kexec the possibility of getting it working is basically nill due to lack of debugging information so why not attack something you can debug such as a kernel module hell in theory it should be possible to add io schedulers and governors via a module hell with a properly 'crafted' module we may even get kexec(kgraft?) as a result if you could create a exploit you could use to the proper effect ..
I agree that touchwizz is utter poo and should be stabbed with white hot knives and buried under 12ft of cement but the phrase "if life gives you lemons ... make lemonade" rings to mind ...
I am sure somebody will give me the usual speech about "if you are so smart do it your self" but sometimes people just need to step back and look at it another way .. + I am fighting insomnia and am on my third shot of jack ...
wow did I really write all that jesus ... no more jack for me at 12 am...

Lol. At least your question is a good topic of debate. Most questions and posts in our forum are boring to me but this isn't, so there's that I guess.

realistically you probably could't alter to much but adding overclocking a variety of minor tweaks could be done in hex
on a personal note I would be content with figuring out how to get some overclocking/undervolting done
