Please do change it,cause it says also "anthrax" in setings and kernel tuner ... I think they could lock ur thread because of that
Othervise,it works pretty nice this few minutes,played ski safari and it does not lags,also played asphalt 7 (just one race) and it goes ok...Camera works,3D plus2D (writing this because i had issues with some test kernel from anthrax with 3D pics)....let's wait and see how is the battery. All recomended setings thru aroma installer,i did not changed anything-by the way

there is script error u can fix it manualy
in the zip package change kernel/shooter_u directory to kernel/shooteru
and
modules/shooter_u directory to modules/shooteru
:laugh:
or in updater_script
kernel/shooteru directory to kernel/shooter_u
and
modules/shooteru directory to modules/shooter_u
then it will work

* Standard disclaimer:
* Your warranty is now void. Use at your own risk.
* In other words: It is your choice to use this software,
* I am not responsible for any damage or problems!
Naming convention
KANGAROO KERNEL MKIV IS FOR 4.4.3 ONLY (it will have _443 at the end of the filename)

Features:
Compiled with latest Linaro Christopher83 Linaro 4.9.1 toolchain
Better performance and battery savings due to the use of more efficient algorithms and updated, optimized code
Kernel is aimed at reducing heat while saving battery and increasing performance over stock
IN DEPTH FEATURE LIST IN CHANGELOG AND ON GIT
Better to look at changelog cause I miss things when I try to condense it
CPU governors (italics for default): ondemand, preservative, smartmax, optimax, performance, userspace, msm-dcvs, powersave
io sched: no-op, deadline, CFQ, BFQ, FIOPS
KANGAROO CONTROL SCRIPT IN POST #3
Can be used to control all options, plus more

Installation:
1. Download kernel
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Backup
*if you come from faux or tbalden please reflash your rom, you don''t need a wipe. They have some trickery with their own hotplugs so they have reomved mpdecision, so without reflashing your phone will be stuck on quad core*
4. Flash kernel
5. Reboot
*Please let it sit for ~10 mins before judging as it will need to settle down. Do not judge battery life unless you've run it through at least 3+ cycles after flashing*

DISCLAIMERS:
1) Excessive under/overvolting can cause damage to the internal parts of your phone. It can cause the phone's lifespan to deteriorate quickly so make sure you know boundaries
2) If you OC'ed/OV'ed/UV'ed and now are in a boot loop or your phone is slow, or acting weird or just died - it means your phone does not like the changes. Voltage control is for those who know what the risks are, know what they are doing and know how to fix it. Perhaps when you change these, test them for an hour or so before setting on boot
3) Any changes to the phone, including flashing the kernel itself is done at your own risk.
4) Every phone is differentt
5) Please DO NOT use any task killers (or additional init.d scripts), they DO NOT improve performance/battery. The kernel is designed to be used with stock settings: my settings and anything else can cause problems

Installation:
1. Download kernel
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Backup
*if you come from faux or tbalden please reflash your rom, you don''t need a wipe. They have some trickery with their own hotplugs so they have reomved mpdecision, so without reflashing your phone will be stuck on quad core*
4. Flash kernel
5. Reboot
*Please let it sit for ~10 mins before judging as it will need to settle down. Do not judge battery life unless you've run it through at least 3+ cycles after flashing*

DISCLAIMERS:
1) Excessive under/overvolting can cause damage to the internal parts of your phone. It can cause the phone's lifespan to deteriorate quickly so make sure you know boundaries
2) If you OC'ed/OV'ed/UV'ed and now are in a boot loop or your phone is slow, or acting weird or just died - it means your phone does not like the changes. Voltage control is for those who know what the risks are, know what they are doing and know how to fix it. Perhaps when you change these, test them for an hour or so before setting on boot
3) Any changes to the phone, including flashing the kernel itself is done at your own risk.
4) Every phone is differentt
5) Please DO NOT use any task killers (or additional init.d scripts), they DO NOT improve performance/battery. The kernel is designed to be used with stock settings: my settings and anything else can cause problems

Joey Kernel for the HTC One GSM Google Play Edition 4.4.2
(depreciated)
RIP
Linux 3.4.15+
For android 4.4.2 Google Edition ROMs.. (kk Sense too )
Based off HTC 3.62.1700.1 sources
Features:
Compiled with latest Linaro 4.8.3 2013.11 toolchain
Baby version of Kangaroo Kernel. Contains most patches and features found in main Kangaroo Kernel.
Better performance and battery savings due to the use of more efficient algorithms and optimized code
Focused on battery life: freqs from 384-1566MHz capped for battery and optimimal performance in normal use.
Power management tweaks
Slightly undervolted: -50mV for PVS 0,1,2,3,4 and -25mV for PVS 5,6,7 (acpuclock identical to kangaroo)
Undervolted L2 clocks
Optimized configuration: stripped of wasteful debug and things that are useless on android phones
Optimized with -Ofast
Compressed with LZ4
CPU stats
CPU freqs cut down to stop confusing the governors etc: there is no point having freqs that are so similar when it behaves the same anyway
Faux sound control
Faux display color control!!!
Support for Multi ROM
Scheduler improvements
Random/entropy tweaks
Linaro power efficient workqueues
Linaro topology
Advanced TCP algorithms (westwood default)
ARM/VFP optimizations
Support for kernel mode NEON

^WARNING THIS IS OLDDDDDDD
For GPE 4.4.2
but working on 4.4 Sense ROMs
*Please do not re upload without permission, I like to count downloads*
Sauce: https://github.com/poondog/joey-m7-GPE/
Changelog: Joey Kernel (4.4.2 GPE)
Code:
*****30 Jan*****
.sync and fsync enhancements
.disable some more debugging
.support LZ4 compression (thx @Synthetic.Nightmare for helping)
.compress zimage by LZ4, results in 9.7mb zimage (large lol) Should boot faster if my theories are correct, because decompression time is a lot less?
.ARM/VFP optimizations, see source for details. Support kernel mode NEON and enabled NEON optimized crypto routines (myfluxi)
.synaptics_3k: Do not hardcode pressure & width (Synthetic.Nightmare)
.synaptics_3k: Improve touchscreen sensitivity (Synthetic.Nightmare)
*****24 Jan*****
.fixup ASYNC_FSYNC declaration in kconfig (if anyone else is compiling.. thx tripnraver)
.backport sched updates from 3.4.77+
.arm: Allow CPU-supported unaligned accesses
.makefile: remove -marm flag, see if it makes any difference in smoothness
.switch back to in kernel thermal control, from tripnraver kernel (CAF/trip)
.made thermal throttle at around 55 degrees, to keep phone cool (its summer here) and battery lasts longer.
.introduce WHEATLEY governor. Ondemand is still default
.add ROW io scheduling algorithm, tune for our devices
.mm: optimizations to io
.mm: optimize Kernel Samepage Merging(KSM)
.mm: Squash a few SLUB commits from CAF
*****19 Jan*****
.undervolt L2 clocks by default by 50mV for better battery
.smoothed out BUS scaling (now uses 266MHz step instead of jumping from 200 -->400
.increase max/reduce min buffer size for playback of audio
.revert to stock thermal. Tweaked it a bit to throttle earlier.. HTC thermal is quite good on battery
.random/entropy tweaks (for better performance and battery, credits imoseyon/anarkia1976)
.fixed sleeping issue.. now it is better than before
*****16 Jan*****
.audio: remove handset pop-noise
.DRIVERS: CPUFREQ: revert to stock GPE ondemand governor, then tweaked it a bit again
.DEFCONFIG: compress with xz (smaller kernel/ faster boot)
.SLIMbus: updates from upstream/CAF
.ASoC: msm: qdsp6: Fix pop noise seen with touch tone during playback
.ALSA: PCM - Add PCM creation API for internal PCMs.
.SELINUX: update to 3.4.76+
.Set default 2w to dt2w, s2s, pocket detect, increase default vibration
.sched: set sched_mc_power_savings to 2 (try to restrict things to one core)
.import crpalmer/flar2 thermal. Thanks to them. Tweaked for battery and extra extra cool.
.remove some debug
.writeback updates from upstream
.remove faux color interface, was troublesome.. some new commits in his repo they don't boot for me :)
Audio, selinux, slimbus, thermal update mostly.. if you were hoping for something else sorry :)
*****8 Jan*****
.dt2w: sync with flar2 kernel, more sensitive, limit to bottom part etc (flar)
.attempted fix for wifi wakelocks (working for me in testing, what was minimal is even less now)
*****2 Jan*****
.Overclocked slimbus to max. This is as high as it goes, its 100% stable in testing with no negative impacts. Brings improvements all around for audio playback etc (thx to @ZeroInfinity and me :icon_bigg)
.Some generic function optimizations (for faster kernel, better battery.. overall improvements to the code, from CAF)
.Add USB Fast Charge (Flar, Motley, Chad Froebel for original mod)
*****28 Dec*****
.optimizations to cacheflush function (minimal under the hood stuff)
.updates to lowmemorykiller from Linux 3.10+ (syntheticnightmare)
*****24 Dec*****
.updated Linaro workqueues (battery savings)
.integrated linaro power efficient workqueues deep in the kernel (battery savings)
.color control
.patch to 3.4.15
.compile -Ofast
.selinux updates
.use Ste98B tunables for smartmax (thx mate)
*****17 Dec*****
.Initial release

Hey, mate, great work!
But, if I'm not mistaking, there is no PVS 7 and 0 is worst, whist 6 is best, so undervolting should be other way around?
Excuse the question, but it is because the majority of call recording applications are to pay, why developer no supports this feature in HTC one?

Sorry that was a typo lol
Yes you're right but this is how it has been done:
Since the voltage tables are different for all PVS versions, PVS 0 having the most voltage and 6 the least, 0 can handle -50mV compared to stock and still use more voltage and be stable, while still having more voltage than 6. Pushing 6 to more than what I have already done is risky since it is so low already, on a mass scale and I don't think I will do it unless it is proven stable

Probably. Looking at his/her sources there are no references to the One. The newest is for mako (Nexus 4)
In my point of view, there is no point for a kernel dev (learning or experienced) to spend time including something (could take hours) just to make someone else's payday when they really did nothing for the One. I might look into it if there is a free version with One support. If not I may be creating bugs for the dev on an unsupported device
In other news, 11 Dec build is up. Enjoy, please leave comments!

Oh, yeah, you're right, I understand. I know of different voltages for different PVS, just didn't realized you did it that way. Thanks for clarification.

Congratulations!
As I am on SlimKat currently, I will surely try this out.
Feature request:
How about collaborating with @AGONTUK in order to patch this kernel with illumination fixes? I used his patch on AOSX, and it works perfectly, but some changes are needed to boot.img for illumination patch to fully work, so I believe that his patch is useless with roms other than AOSX.
Keep up the good work!
WiFi
I tried this kernel, but now my wifi wont turn on...(AOSX)

Well, illumination fix goes mainly in ROM side, not in kernel side, but for next release I will make needed changes at ramdisk in order to get illumination service working (if avalaible in ROM side), thank you

Not by now, I want to get it working flawlessly in the main ROMs for KitKat
I am using it on aosx and its not laggy.
But I dont find the app that you recommend on play, could you give me a link ?
p.s. I noticed with CPU Frills that min freq is 1000 ! Is that a "bug" of this kernel ? Anyway I changed it succesfully to 200.

CPU frequency: 2649MHz/300MHz
CPU governor: Intelliactive or Bluactive for performance/ Interactive for battery
CPU voltaje: -25uV ((Be careful!! If you low voltages much you can get bootloop or battery drain.)
GPU: default values
I/O schedulers: row for both
PowerSuspend: hybrid hook
MPDECISION for performance/ Intelli-Plug for battery
Intelli-Thermal: enabled
MISCELLANEOUS: fsync enabled, logger mode disabled, crc disabled (you choice), Selinux Permissive

F.A.Q
Can I flash this kernel on Note 4 SM-N910C or other variant?
No, you can not. This kernel is only for SM-N910F, SM-N910G, SM-N910T and SM-N910W8.
When I switch to Ondemand governor I noticed that cpu-boost is disabled.
Exactly, Ondemand and cpu-boost doesn't work well together. When you switch to Ondemand governor cpu-boost will be disabled automatically. Don't re-enable cpu-boost if you are using Ondemand governor. (Synapse>CPU DRIVERS)
Which app can control this kernel?
By default, the kernel is controlled by Synapse, but you can use the app that you like (Trickster Mod, Kernel Tweaker, etc.).
I flashed the kernel and Synapse says: "No support UCI detected".
Reflash the kernel, since it was a bad installation and Synapse does not detect the scripts.
After flashing the kernel lost root what to do?
In case you loose root just flash SuperSU
Any recommended settings to follow using Synapse?
At the beginning of the second post.
After flash the kernel some apks give me FC.
Go to Google Play Store and reinstall those apks.
From where can I remove int.d script?
Go to /system/etc/init.d using any root based file manager and delete.
Note: There is an important one related to superSU and if you remove it by mistake you're gonna have trouble with root permissions.
My device doesn't show any reaction to undervolting (battery life is same as before) or gets unstable even on light undervolting?
Use DVFS disabler Module(standalone) (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling), this feature was kept in touchwiz for benchmark boosting purposes and will conflict with any undervolting and custom governors because it scales the voltages and frequency on regular intervals and is framework integrated, so gets a higher priority than kernel based voltage and scaling controls.
For people who don't know what is DVFS please refer Wikipedia.
Min/Max frequency don't stick?
If your frequency settings don’t stick, it's because on certain Qualcomm devices, there are certain system services (thermald/mpdecision/project butter) or kernel service that rewrite frequency settings based on current thermal status and/or touch input.
I made a logcat but my file is empty. How I can "fix" it?
By default Android logger is disable. Go to Synapse > MISCELLANEOUS and enable Logger Mode.
What is it PowerSuspend?
This new powersuspend PM kernel driver is a replacement for it and existing early_suspend drivers. It should give better battery life.
What is it Intelli-Plug?
Intelliplug is a replacement for mp decision. Intelli-Plug is Faux123 open source solution to Qualcomm's closed source mpdecision. Intelli-Plug is disable by default. It conflicts with mpdecsion, so is HIGHLY recommend turning off mpdecision when using intelli-plug! (If you use Synapse the change is automatic. If you enable Intelli-plug mpdecision will turn off).
What is it Intelli-Thermal?
an intelligent MSM thermal throttling kernel driver designed to replace the
closed sourced thermald(aemon) from Qualcomm.
What is it Frandom?
Frandom is a kernel random number generator, which is 10-50 times faster than what you get from /dev/urandom. And it uses very little (/dev/frandom) or none (/dev/erandom) of the kernel's entropy pool, so it is very useful for applications that require a handy source for lots of random data.
What is it CRC?
CRC is a mechanism aiming to prevent data corruption when is enabled (reduce the performance around 30%). So if you disable it improve the performance but your data can be corrupted. Use it at your risk.

Know/Reported/Fixed issues Know issues
1. Synapse doesn't show CPU governor tunables.
I'm trying to fix it. FIXED
2. Sometimes Synapse (and others kernel control apks) show that the min frequency is 1190MHz (or other frequency).
Just cancel it. FIXED
3. Ondemand doesn't work well. FIXED
Thanks for the report @Vangelis13
Any other Issues you may Report us and we will fix it
Reserverd
Currently its confirmed that its runing fine on Developer Edition by @manbat thanks to him.
If anybody else has tried it on a non developer Edition please let us know since we do not have a V Variant Device We wont be able to test.
Kindly report.

Glad to know it's running rock solid.
Working great here. Only thing I noticed is that when battery is above 90% the led flickers very quickly. May be an interaction with Light flow.

Debugging
/proc/kmsg is a file that stores all the kernel messages from the very first seconds of the boot process. A copy of that file isn't always needed to fix a bug, but since I've explained how to get one I don't even remember how many times, I'll write here the needed steps:
1. open a terminal on your phone
2. run the following commands:
Code:
su
dmesg > /sdcard/helium.log
3. the log will be stored in helium.log.
If the issue caused a reboot, step number 2 changes:
Code:
su
cp /proc/last_kmsg /sdcard/helium.log

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 63.0
Stable Release Date: 2020-11-20
Created 2015-11-17
Last Updated 2020-11-20
bugs as of today:
2nd CPU is stuck @ 1998 MHz Fixed in v58.1
Reserved
init.d script editing - not required as of v46
Important: your modifications to the script will be lost:
when you update the ROM, if you use an AOSP-based ROM;
never (changes are persistent), if you use a CM-based ROM.
the init.d script provided with the kernel (01helium) contains some lines that enable or disable certain features. Remember that the script is written in shell language, so the lines starting with # are ignored.
In the script you'll find useful tips to edit it correctly.
so this is good for only lollipop voor the moment ?

Yes. There will be a Marshmallow build this weekend.
Uninstall with Tangerine uninstaller?
XenonHD _r18
Was 29628 with Tangerine 9.2 . Also had to limit max freq. to 1674. Have reset problem with max freq.
Resurrection Remix 5.5.8 not booting.
That's great because I didn't like tangerine

What goes wrong? At which point does the phone get stuck? I also got a booting problem once today, after the SONY logo I got a black screen and then the SONY logo again, but after a few seconds the phone booted. So wait a few minutes before stating that the phone doesn't boot and tell me what do you see.
On CM12.1 Official 20151116 with Helium v1 I can't use toggle buton to see my last used apps
With T10.2 this working.
I don't know how but this is strange.
Sorry for my bad English
It boots all the way up to the home screen, in the same second the screen goes fuzzy and the device reboots. It's also plagued with that weird 1.4 Ghz issue that affects so many X-SP devices, I didn't managed to boot into KA, but it's obvious because it takes ages to do the apps optimization after cache/dalvik cleanup.
With last temasek v18.5 freq CPU goes to 1728Mhz. All buttons works ok and performance is similar than stock cm kernel.
F**** weirds things of Xperia Sp!!

Oh yes, that's true. The 1.4 Ghz issue it's a device issue, rather than a kernel or a ROM one. I've erase and format everything, including internal storage. Clean install with ROMs that were reported as working fine with Tangerine.... still not able to go above 1.4 Ghz.

That's pretty serious. Try to go back to stock ROM.

It's weird, because I'm not the only one with this problem and it works just fine with stock kernel or Tangerine up to 9.2.
I'll go back to stock tonight and then return to LP, hope to report "fixed". Thanks, Tomoms.:highfive:

A few advices: when you come back to LP, if the issue is fixed on stock ROM and stock kernel, flash the LP ROM you want, flash gapps/xposed/any other thing you need but non Tangerine nor Helium. Then boot, install Trickster MOD Kernel Settigs and check if frequencies are OK. If it's OK, do not install Kernel Adiutor. Then flash Helium, do not wipe anything. Reboot and check.
And... what's the reason for not able to go above 1674 Mhz on antutu? If I benchmark on 1674+++ phone resets itself while testing processor. Hardware issue? Normally can use 1900++ , but on antutu... damn...
Nope. If it had been a device issue, i would have it on stock kernel as well. I don't have it on stock or on tangerine 9.2...

Done that - NOT working.
Installed stock 4.3, than erased and format everything, I even removed the SD-card. Flashed latest CM 12.1, no gapps. Trickster - everything OK, 1.7 Ghz. Then I've installed Tangerine 11.1 - max. 1458 Mhz :crying: Uninstalled 11.1 and installed 10.2 - still not going above 1.4 Ghz I rest my case, good luck with Helium.
