FAQ

Is the r1a not up yet? Or is the zip still called r1? I've checked goo.im and in the op link and is r1!

r1 is r1a. I just copied r1.zip to r1a.zip. Sorry for the confusion.
What is KSM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kernel Samepage Merging. In layman's terms it combines duplicate chunks of memory freeing up space for even more stuff to be loaded in RAM. To try it out, open a terminal and run:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
After some time the kernel will check memory pages that have been marked as merge-able and do it's thing. See /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_* files for stats.
docfreed said:
I do not see any voltage control on h0tw1r3 10.1 ROM. Do we (or can we) flash this OC kernel over h0tw1r3 10.1 ROM and does the r1a have built-in undervolting or do we have to use external app?

Voltage control is not (currently) in CM9. I will be "working on it soon"(tm), in the meantime try one of these 3rd party apps: Antutu CPU Master, SetCPU
MarlowXim said:
BLN works on stock, you'll need a modified liblights.so located here http://www.multiupload.nl/OLYNDF7TLK push to /systsm/lib/hw/
set correct permissions and reboot and bln should be working.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This necessary for stock, and possibly some AOSP roms. I will be including a fixed liblights in the next update.
To take advantage of BLN, you'll need to install an app (unless you're on my CM9, it's built-in - Settings->Advanced->Sensors).
BLN control - Free

great job, sir! long awaited and much needed. is there any chance you could throw in some nice CPU governors like SmartassV2, InteractiveX and add BFQ IO scheduler from this list ?

omniphil said:
My overclock settings don't stick after the screen goes off. Using set cpu. I'm assuming because the rom (Flappjaxxx UCLF6) has it own setting for cpu so when the phone goes to sleep it gets over ridden. Not sure I can turn those off in the rom.

Sounds like FJ_mod is not reading the settings directly from the kernel, but instead always using values internal to FJ_mod which end up blowing away your settings on wakeup . I'm sure he will update FJ_mod soon to fix the issue.
h3r3tic said:
OK so i think I figured it out. For those on fjs roms. You have to disable andrev oc so it disables the CPU profiles set in fj-tools. I did this by using rom toolbox. Go into root explorer and browse to system/xbin and find the andrev oc file and rename it to andrev oc.bak then set a CPU profile with which ever app you are using and reboot. I'm using system tuner to both overclock and undervolt. This is working for me so far. You can check by going into settings ans clicking on CPU tweak. If it force closes then its disabled. I was checking logcats and it is no longer changing the CPU back to default settings on screen lock. Flap feel free to chime in if this is gonna break something else. Other wise no issues yet.

This is a kernel update only. You will need a 3rd party app to manage the settings and make sure it has the option to "apply settings on reboot".

Hey everyone,
A friend of mine was telling me today he was sad for having long-term stability problems with iR's awesome kernel as well as low microSD card read speeds which gave him no choice but to return to CM kernel. However, he also said he missed some features such as the InteractiveX governor which has a handy suspend profile, among other stuff. So I volunteered to grab CM kernel and add some goodies to it; in case he's not the only one in this scenario, I've decided to share it with you all.
Remember, all credits belong to whoever worked on the CM kernel source, I've only tweaked it a bit which didn't take more than 20 minutes.
Currently works:
Wherever CM kernel works.
Changelog:
Code:
v0.5:
- Updated to latest CM source.
v0.4:
- Disabled arch unwind & frame pointer (performance boost).
- Undervolt to the min frequency (800,925 mV) to improve standby batt.
v0.3:
- Added Autogroup scheduling feature to CFS. *
- Some sysctl and lmk parameters tweaking.
- Some CFS and Autogroup patches.
v0.2:
- Added Lazy governor.
- Increased OC support.
- Improved CRC32 algorithm.
- Increased VM_MAX_READAHEAD.
- Added SLQB mm allocator.
- '+' appended to local version (-cyanogenmod+).
v0.1:
- Updated deadline I/O scheduler to a highly tweaked one.
- Set deadline as the default I/O scheduler instead of BFQ.
- Added InteractiveX and Smartass2 governors, made ondemand default.
- Switched TCP Congestion control to Veno.
- Added Stochastic Fair Blue network scheduler, made it default.
- Updated jHash to latest version (v3).
* significant boost: before & after - note the CPU (@ 1228 Mhz, nightly #242)
tl;dr - I/O performance should improve; more governors; internet/market page loading and overall snappiness should improve.

Loving it so far, I will report any issues should they come up. Thanks for the hard work to bring us something different. I too have been using the stock kernel for the reasons stated above and this is a breath of fresh air. maybe you will convince CM to make this the new stock kernel.....one can hope anyway.

If your on stock that's 4.1.2. If so use my other kernel. This kernel b is for aosp. The only aosp ROMs we have are 4.2.2. In order to run any of are aosp ROMs you would have to ota to 4.1.2 or lgnpst 20j or teenybin.

I've decided to make a flashable zip of the latest kernel I've been working on. It's based on gproj, with added faux gamma/sound/voltage (thanks paulicat!) and BLX and additional governors and schedulers.
This kernel also has a min frequency of 162 MHz.
The zip includes the lights.so for canadian geebs.
Included governors:
msm-dcvs
userspace
smartmax
powersave
ondemandplus
ondemand
lazy
interactive
intellidemand
asswax
wheatley (default)
performance
Included schedulers:

Q: why are there faux and faux free versions?
A: i love a lean kernel. with that said if you never plan on messing with gamma, or
purchasing FauxSound control app then i suggest you use the versions that dont have those features.
makes no sense to use a kernel with lots of bells and whistles youll never use.
Q: whats frontswap?
A: Frontswap -- and cleancache -- with a fairly small impact on the kernel,
provides a huge amount of flexibility for more dynamic, flexible RAM
utilization in various system configurations
When a workload starts swapping, performance falls through the floor.
Frontswap significantly increases performance in many such workloads by
providing a clean, dynamic interface to read and write swap pages to
"transcendent memory" that is otherwise not directly addressable to the kernel.
This interface is ideal when data is transformed to a different form
and size (such as with compression) or secretly moved (as might be
useful for write-balancing for some RAM-like devices). Swap pages (and
evicted page-cache pages) are a great use for this kind of slower-than-RAM-
but-much-faster-than-disk "pseudo-RAM device" and the frontswap (and
cleancache) interface to transcendent memory provides a nice way to read
and write -- and indirectly "name" -- the pages.
Q: I heard if you disable swap, then performance increases.
A: Bottom line is that, without swap:
1. Your system will be less stable.
2. Your system will not be able to hibernate as well.
3. Disk access speed in your system will be slower compared to a system that has swap partition.
Moreover, disk access speed will drop in the course of time.
Q: ive been messing with my frequency settings, and they wont stick. what gives?
A: the installer hardcodes min/max frequencies. if youd like to try something different
run the installer again, and pick new min/max frequencies there.
Q: I'm trying to use gamma control,but the settings dont seem to stick once my screen shuts on/off.
A: im aware of this. if you use the FauxControl app from the playstore your setting will stick better
however youll still have to cycle your screen on/off to reapply the values. im looking into this and hopefully
will figure this issue out soon.
Q: DriveDroid?
A: this is an app that allows you to use your phone as a bootdisk for your PC.
Q: My phones really hot, what the heck did you do!?
A: put your phone down. heavy use of your phone will make it hot. no amount of
kernel magic will keep your phone cool while under heavy use.
Q: just to spite you ive been flashing GPE kernels on sense roms, and they WORK!!!!
A: yes they boot, but any issues you have while expiermenting will make it more difficult
to seperate user error from kernel error. please just use GPE for GPE based roms and SENSE for
SENSE based roms.
Q: if i see you on the street, can i shake your hand?
A: NO
Q: can we have more governors?
A: no, kernels dont like redundancy. having four governors based on the on-demand governor just
isnt good practice.
Thanks mate!! Can I use this in Insertcoin?
EDIT : Also anyway to implement kexec-hardboot?
EDIT 2 : Sorry for the questions, just figure I'd ask now before the thread gets flooded with this question.. but since we have m8 kernel source is there any way to get motion gestures, again, sorry for the questions.

Sorry for the stupid question :
The difference between GPE kernel and Sense kernel? Because I have flashing a GPE kernel with Sense rom (Insertcoin v2.3.0)and it also works well.

Kexec-hardboot is kind of pointless right now until I figure out why it won't boot sense as the primary rom, but I believe it's already enabled, it was in .torrented's versions at least. Btw if you think you might have any ideas on how to fix that, help is welcome. Pretty sure it has something to do with how partitions are mounted. If you look through the multirom thread you can see my unsuccessful attempts to fix it.
@iHateWebOS good to see your own thread for this

Gpe kernel will boot on sense, but you may have touch issues ect. To be on the safe side, and to avoid false bug reports Im posting the two versions.

I'm using Google Now Launcher on a Sense 6 ROM and everything is good. Is there a recommendation of Sense over GPE as Sense is my base or should I be using GPE?
Sense base = sense kernel. Gpe base = Gpe kernel.

The default settings set at default clock speed will net you the best balance. If your looking for more juice run the fauxless version with all wake options disabled.

Hello,
Has anyone tried the Faux enabled Sense kernel on Santoid's NuSense 4.4? Wouldn't boot for me.
Cheers!

Interesting, thank you for the response. Just to be clear you are using his build version R4.4 (not the newest that was rebased)? I ended up with a frozen boot then the display split into colored lines before going black. I am well versed in compiling roms but was not sure if base is a factor for kernels.
Thanks

Using 5.2 now but I've been using his sense 6 rom sense release. It's what I've used for everything I've released so far. As long as its sense android version is 4.4.2 you should be good to go

OK must be a bad flash...I will re download and try again. I can't remember ever having a bad download. I was unsure if your newest posts was only designed to work with his current base.
Thanks
Update:
Re downloaded and checked md5...good download same results. Screen gets stuck at boot then multi-color lines before going to a grey blank screen. I have all the latest firmware and radios, not sure why the Faux enabled Sense kernel will not work for me.

@iHateWebOS - is FFC enabled in these builds, like the ones you've given me in the beastmode thread? If I follow this thread and flash updates, is it the same kernel as those builds? Thanks!
They should be fine for Venom 3.5.0 right?
It lets you turn off the cores; which I found useful in games like chaos rings 3(makes the phone damned hot). I had two of the lower powered cores running with no lag. I don't understand why these games even use all the cpu power; probably just inefficient I guess. I bought the donate app as I want to support the dev for the hard work. Really recommend this to root users.
anyone tried to tweak governor settings? should be possible to get out more performance with the right settings.
Know of any good options for extending battery life? So far i've disabled the big cores.
Tried using "trickster mod" but so far it was installed on my phone the cores kept working on 1300 :S when uninstalled it went back to 324 (smth like that). weird, ill try what you have recommended!

Trickster is outdated, it can't handle bigLITTLE correctly.

Be sure to apply on boot
Unfortunately this comunity it´s dead because we can do great things with this app... But we need a new kernel... Unfortunately this it´s not going to happen...
You'll never know
Did you disable the two "big" cores, or 2 of the LITTLE ones?

I have been using the following settings with apply on boot.
I have noticed a decrease in heat and the battery seems to last much longer when doing simple tasks such as web browsing.
Hopefully this helps you! [emoji1]
