Kernel for Sense-based Jelly Bean ROMs
LATEST VERSION: ElementalX-EVO-4.3 (May 26, 2013)
Code:
* 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!
This kernel has tons of options. You can get yourself into trouble. Overclocking and undervolting takes effort, you need to test, test, test in order to find stable settings for your device. Please don't complain about reboots or crashes if you're overclocking and/or undervolting. When you find settings that work well with your specific hardware, this kernel will be very stable and have long battery life.
If you have problems, or simply don't want to endlessly tweak kernel settings, then consider trying the Bulletproof kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181243
If you do want to endlessly tweak kernel settings, and get to know your hardware intimately, then you're in the right place.

INSTALLATION
1. Install zip from TWRP Recovery
2. Follow the instructions, if you don't know what to do, use the preselected option
3. Reboot!
S-OFF highly recommended for easy installation
The installer includes a method to flash the boot.img with s-on, however, some people still have difficulties. If it doesn't work, extract boot.img from the zip, reboot to bootloader and do:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Note: you must still run the installer to get all the configuration files!
Please hit the Thanks button if you use this

NOTES:
Configuration
Your choices in the Aroma installer are used to build a configuration file. The config file is located at /etc/elementalx.conf. You can edit this file to change kernel settings. Whatever is set in this file will take effect when the device is booted (unless other scripts or apps interfere!)
The settings can be changed by editing /etc/elementalx.conf and rebooting. Advanced users can apply settings on the fly by running /etc/init.d/99elementalx as root.
There is no need to edit /etc/init.d/99elementalx. All settings are configured in /etc/elementalx.conf.
If settings are not sticking, make sure the file permissions for /etc/init.d/99elementalx are set to execute. Every time the settings are applied, a log file is created at /data/local/tmp/elementalx-kernel.log. Problems can be diagnosed by looking at the log file.
Please check to see if any /etc/init.d scripts or apps are interfering with your settings If you're on ViperXL, make sure your settings in Venom Tweaks are the same as the ones in /etc/elementalx.conf (for example, sweep2wake settings)
Kernel Tuner
You don't need Kernel Tuner because the ElementalX installer sets everything up automatically, but if you want to check or change settings, Kernel Tuner is recommended. Just be aware that Kernel Tuner is set by default to apply settings on boot, which can interfere with the settings you chose in the ElementalX installer.
Venom Tweaks force close
If Venom Tweaks closes when you try to access the CPU tab, go to Settings->Apps->Venom Tweaks and push the Clear Data button. This should fix the problem.
CPU Optimization
Vanilla: stock voltages, stock l2 cache frequency, stock bus bandwidth
ElementlaX: increases l2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth, allows you to choose voltage level in installer
Ultra: increases l2 cache frequency and bus bandwidth even more. May cause instability, please test thoroughly for stability if you use this option.
Overclocking
Overclocking (underclocking) is optional. Whatever frequency you chose in the installer will be set at boot for both CPUs. Frequencies can be changed any time using apps like No Frills or Kernel Tuner. WARNING: not all devices can handle overclocking. The stock maximum CPU frequency is 1.5GHz. In versions of the kernel prior to 4.2, the frequencies were labeled wrong so you won't be able to overclock as high with version 4.2+.
CPU voltages
CPU voltages can be changed with Venom Tweaks, Kernel Tuner or System Tuner. Be careful, lowering voltages could cause instability. If you have stability problems even at the highest voltages, try the vanilla version
Minimum CPU frequency
Sets the minimum CPU scaling frequency. 192MHz is the recommended default and should work fine on the vast majority of devices. The 384MHz option is available for devices that experience random reboots while the device is idle. It is recommended that you try increasing the minimum voltage by 25mV before changing the minimum CPU frequency.
Max screen off frequency
This sets the highest CPU frequency available while the screen is off. It is recommended to disable this for stability. Also, do not set this to 192MHz or 384MHz, as many devices experience random reboots at these frequencies. The default is 486MHz, which should be safe for most devices. If you experience random reboots while the device is asleep, set this to a higher frequency. This setting can be changed in /etc/elementalx.conf or using an app like Venom Tweaks.
GPU frequencies
3D GPU: 480 (overclocked) or 400 (stock)
2D GPU: 266 (overclocked) or 200 (stock)
Governors
Intellidemand is the default CPU governor. There are other governors included, however, intellidemend is recommended for best balance of battery life and performance.
Installing a new ROM
If you install a new ROM, it will overwrite /etc/init.d/89elementalx and /etc/elementalx.conf. The kernel will run perfectly fine without these files, but you will lose your settings and certain features.
Sweep2Wake
Sweep2wake allows you to wake up your device by swiping your finger across the capacitive buttons from left to right. Swiping from right to left will put it back to sleep (sweep2sleep). There are now options for sweep2wake/sweep2sleep, sweep2sleep only, and disabled. If you use ViperXL, make sure to enable sweep2wake in Venom Tweaks. Note that in Venom Tweaks, the sweep2sleep only option can be selected by choosing Enable (no buttons backlight).
DoubleTap2Wake
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping in the bottom inch or so of the screen, above the capacitive buttons. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.
/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
0=disabled
1=enable doubletap2wake
Pocket Detection
Pocket detection protects against accidental wakes while S2W, DT2W or L2W are enabled and the phone is in your pocket. Pocket detection uses the proximity sensor. A few people have a problem with their proximity sensor that makes DT2W not work, so I've made an option to disable pocket detection. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.
/sys/android_touch/pocket_detect
0=disabled
1=enable pocket detection
Button Light Notification
With Button Light Notification (BLN), the capacitive buttons will blink on and off when you have a new notification. As soon as the screen comes on, BLN is canceled and the lights will no longer blink until you have another notification. Please note that if you have your screen set to turn on when a message arrives, you will not see the buttons blinking because once the screen comes on, the button light notification is canceled. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.
/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/bln
0 = disabled
1 = BLN enabled
What is zRam
zRam creates a compressed block device in RAM that is used as swap. Although it claims some of your RAM as swap, everything written to swap is compressed. This increases the apparent memory available to the system and helps with multitasking. Swap files on disk are very slow, but with zRam the swap is on RAM so it can be read as quickly as regular memory. Even though the data need to be decompressed, modern CPUs can decompress quicker than if it had to be to read from disk. The penalty is cpu usage, which could drain battery; however, this is likely negligable in daily use. I didn't enable this by default because not everyone will want it. This is for heavy multitaskers and will allow you to quickly switch between more apps and have more tabs open in your browser without refreshes.
zRam is disabled by default. If you want to enable it, edit /etc/elementalx.conf
change ZRAM=0 to ZRAM=1 and reboot.
You can check if zRam is working by typing the command "free" into the terminal. You should see the total used and free swap. If these are all 0, then zRam is not enabled. Please ensure that other apps are not changing your minfrees, zRam works best with low minfrees and high swappiness.
NTFS support
This is for anyone who wants to use OTG to connect a USB stick or portable harddrive formatted with Microsoft's NTFS filesystem. You will need Stickmount or a similar app, HTC Sense+ won't detect NTFS.
Enable/disable fsync
Disabling fsync can increase filesystem performance. However, there is a small risk of data loss if the system suddenly crashes. If you can't afford to lose data, keep fsync enabled. Many custom kernel disable fsync, I leave it enabled by default for safety reasons.
XBox controller support
There is an experimental module that supports XBox gamepads, however, some people have reported that it draws too much power and doesn't work. I've suggested trying a powered USB hub, but still not sure if it works.

Nice thanks! I will be trying this now after I update my SuperJELLY to r201
Niceeeeeee I'll give this a try, downloading now..
Anyone try this yet?
Basically I just need to know if the modules load or not.
If they do, we're good to go.
If not, I need someone to type this in terminal:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/oc_mod.ko
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
and post the relevant lines of dmesg.txt
Flashed it wouldn't let me overclock and it booted
Edit: flashed again it boots I'm overclocked too
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Im on Super Jelly and phone wont go past boot animation
Alright, don't actually install it, we just need to test the modules.
Could someone who has the stock JB kernel extract wp_mod.ko and oc_mod.ko from the zip file and try to insmod them from the terminal and let me know what the output of dmesg is?
Also, could someone post the output of:
uname -r
It works just aroma installer is a little buggy

OMG!! a kernel!! thank you so much bro!! we need some kernels for this device :good: thank u.. i almost **it my self when i seen there was a new kernel!! lol... im down to help test but im only good for flashing zips.. let me kno if i can help.. thank u flar2
It works for me. Overclocked at 1.8 on superjelly
$tack$
so i take it we good to flash this??
I have a question. If the modules didn't flash.. my WiFi wouldn't work right?... Or what wouldn't work?
$tack$
I think I might have fixed the installer, not sure how things work on this device.

This won't affect wifi. Your existing modules stay the same.
The kernel is the stock JB kernel, I just had to modify the boot image to add init.d support.

Included in Kernel-
-24 governors (ondemand default)
-6 io-schedulers (sio default)
-O/C up to 2ghz although not recommended
-fudgeswap
-slqb memory allocator
- Increased zram disk size
- Increased zram to 30%
- Changed LZO --- Benchmarks show compression and decompression times performance increased by double
- Linaro optimizations from my ics-beta
Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous (recommended) change with nothrills cpu or similar app
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor ?:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Overclocked to 2ghz--- don't think its to stable though---
Please give feedback wether its stable for you or not if you overclock
FudgeSwap
-Helps improve multi-tasking in low memory situations forcing apps to swap.(already in DooM's sources)
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

Important
Coming from a kernel with STOCK partitions??
Via fastboot enter the commands:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
You must wipe userdata and system if coming from a STOCK partirion kernel, Otherwise u will be stuck in a loop

What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it
Zram is not enabled by default- to enable it flash the wedgess-NEW-Zram-Enabler.zip below
If for whatever reason you want to disable it after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram
Cool, glad to see you got it working even if its not liking some of the governors.

So what do you think is the best combination of governor/scheduler for gaming?
Update your ROM and tell us how it goes.
Good news,
thanks for your work man, tonight i'm gonna put some Wolf in my phone.
I hope it is as performant as your ics work.
Thanks
No lag here. Will post if there's any problems.
Wedgess thanks for making a gb kernel but can you add CDMA support for those of us on R800x on your spare time? If you dont mind I will fill you in about my xperia play.
This is a thread from doomlord that has a working CDMA kernel which is based on version 2.3.3 gb. Doomlord was able to create a 2.3.4 kernel for us R800x users but camera functionality doesn't work at all. (I was hoping for the thread to be revived but it seems development has been put to a stop) So were stuck on doomlord gb 2.3.3. Currently I'm using kernel v1 from doomlord that has a working recovery and i am not using v2 posted in the thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368636
Since you don't have the device (that im aware of) I don't mind testing it if you wish :highfive:
Does the zram enable by default?? Or do we need to enable it??

Does your kernel hav autoroot feature?? Just curious. I can't seem to go to my system directory using script manager. Is it just me or does anybody else hav the same issue?? It sure are feels a bit smooth than dooms'kernel.

Edit; Do u think i should wipe cache n dalvik cache on the 1st boot after switching?? Mybe i should just do it just to be sure.

good stuff, glad to hear I know but my linux is running out of space due to the amount of kernel sources I have lol.ill have to push them all to github to make the 25gb+ space needed, which will take awhile Hoping some rom devs will release linaro built roms now, we’ll see though
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I'll give this a try with DiXperia 2 rom this rom is fastest I've seen so far with doomkernel v14. I used lupus v4 with few ics roms and ran beautifully. Missed the great gaming in gb so this is very welcome as doomlord has moved onto htc one x thanks so much can't wait to try your kernel
I'm on dixperia 2 as well , will test it too. bye the way is this kernel support CIFS mounting ?
EDIT : working great, using Virtuous governor with SIO and it's really fast, coupling with dixperia2 its hell fast
I'm using a lot of launched apps (holo launcher, holo locker, whatsapp, viber, maps, setcpu for profiles, button sevior,
callrecorder, incredicontrol, exdialer, ivona, facebook, tasker, jellyB live wallpaper) have 87 Mo free RAM and its still fast and snappier than ever thanks to ZRAM and dixperia2 tweeks
CIFS isn't enabled and still have insmod problems like in doomkernel , @wedgess could you enable it in next update plz !

Everything Else that works on FXP and any other JB kernel
Added Io-schedulers --
- Noop
- Anticipatory
- Deadline
- CFQ
- BFQ
- SIO
- ZEN
Added Governors --
- lagfree
- brazillianwax
- smoothass
- scary
- savagedzen
- smartass
- smartassv2
- smartassH3
- interactivex
- minmax
- + the 5or6 that are there with FXP
Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Superbad -
A "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
Darkside -
A "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
What else-----
-SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-(both)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).
- Added Cleancache
- Updated zRam
- Lzo compression/decompression speed doubled on average

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

No problem.
So far it's working good (still charging). No restart when watching Youtube.Many governors to choose (which one is the best ). I'm using CM10 150 with this kernel and it's smooth. Still charging, so I'll inform how's battery performance (using sio/virtuoz/1,4GHz max). Seems to be faster (in tests) than other kernels for 4.1.
can we have support for mouse+keyboard n other perpherials...lyk there is support in night elf 1.5..n also can we get support for multiboot
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
One of the best kernel I've tried for JB
Thanks to @wedgess, I've been using the kernel since yesterday. My phone now works smoothly!! Battery backup has improved significantly. Video playback and youtube working fine now. No random reboots (like fusion kernel). I guess we've got ourselves the best kernel here.
Thank you @wedgess
Can We Have multiboot....................
thanks.................
your work is great as always :fingers-crossed:

Finally a perfect kernel
Thanks you a lot for this kernel, I flashed it in my Neo (MT15i) and it solves all the problems, now no reboot on video apps (youtube, MX, etc.). Smartass v2 is the best governor for my device, it manages ram perfectly.
+1 to vinhpz0, in CM10 thread has at least 10 pages with kernel issues, and yours is the best kernel for CM10 (in my opinion) and should be in Neo thread.
My configuration: CM10 (FXP150), Lupus Kernel, Smartassv2, 364~1401, no zram
And it's awesome the smoothness, no lags, no random reboots, all works perfectly, thanks
would be better if button light is fixed like the PAC-man one does.

What Works --
Wifi - (flash modules)

Everything Else that works on FXP
What doesn't work --
Anything that doesn't work on FXP
Whats Included in kernel ------------
Added Governors --
brazillianwax
smartass
Smartassv2
Savagedzen
Smoothass
Scary
InteractiveX
Minmax
Userspace
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
- Superbad
- a "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
- Darkside
- a "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
-Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Added Io-scheduler --
VR io-scheduler - Unlike other schedulers, synchronous and asynchronous requests are not treated separately,
instead a deadline is imposed for fairness. The next request to be served is based on it's distance from last request.
- SIO - Simple IO-Scheduler-
SIO is the default scheduler in this kernel. It is widely-regarded as the best all-round performing IO scheduler for android. It is low on CPU usage and optimized for flash-based storage. From the creator - "Based on Noop, Deadline and V(R) IO schedulers. This algorithm does not do any kind of sorting, as it is aimed for aleatory access devices, but it does some basic merging. We try to keep minimum overhead to achieve low latencies. Asynchronous and synchronous requests are not treated separately, but we rely on deadlines to ensure fairness."
- BFQ - Budget Fair Queueing IO-Scheduler-
From Creators
* Copyright (C) 2008 Fabio Checconi
* Paolo Valente
*
* Licensed under the GPL-2 as detailed in the accompanying COPYING.BFQ file.
*
* BFQ is a proportional share disk scheduling algorithm based on the
* slice-by-slice service scheme of CFQ. But BFQ assigns budgets,
* measured in number of sectors, to tasks instead of time slices.
* The disk is not granted to the active task for a given time slice,
* but until it has exahusted its assigned budget. This change from
* the time to the service domain allows BFQ to distribute the disk
* bandwidth among tasks as desired, without any distortion due to
* ZBR, workload fluctuations or other factors. BFQ uses an ad hoc
* internal scheduler, called B-WF2Q+, to schedule tasks according to
* their budgets. Thanks to this accurate scheduler, BFQ can afford
* to assign high budgets to disk-bound non-seeky tasks (to boost the
* throughput), and yet guarantee low latencies to interactive and
* soft real-time applications.

VM tweaks (explained below)
VM Tweaks
dirty ratio and dirty background ratio 1 & 2
This controls how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are dealing with solid state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk.
dirty_expire_centisecs
How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
This is the interval of when the writeback daemons periodically wake up and write "old" data out to disk. It is expressed in 100ths of a second.
min free kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size. Default is 2048kb.
overcommit_memory
This controls overcommit of system memory, possibly allowing processes to allocate (but not use) more memory than is actually available.
0 - Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slighly more memory in this mode. This is the default.
1 - Always overcommit. Appropriate for some scientific applications.
2 - Don't overcommit. The total address space commit for the system is not permitted to exceed swap plus a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. Depending on the percentage you use, in most situations this means a process will not be killed while attempting to use already-allocated memory but will receive errors on memory allocation as appropriate.
Swappiness
A property for the Linux kernel that changes the balance between swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. Swappiness can be set to values between 0 and 100 inclusive. A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space.
VFS Cache Pressure
File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacrificing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

- zRam is not enabled by default unless on CM10 ROM, for AOKP to enable it flash the wedgess-zram-enabler.zip in CWM
- If for whatever reason you want to disable Zram after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram
People will ask so i'll just post it here---------to check if zRam is enabled go to terminal emulator or similar and type
Code:
free
or alternatively
Code:
cat /proc/swaps
Also added CIFS support....
What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it
Please Click Thanks :good:

Ok, am trying it, the performance is 5% smaller than that of M66B kernel, battery life need to test further, will see tomorrow and post results. Thanks a lot to wedges and welcome to the forum .
One request i would have though: Could you add the 24 MHz frequency its wonderful for battery life, and in combination with smartassV2 it doesn't compromise performance at all.
Long rebooting (stuck) from Power Menus, I need to press Camera Key to continue
Normally reboot if I execute it from Terminal
^^^ that is a known bug.
The performance (on gaming)is lower than Fxp kernel (only a bit)
But battery saving is very good.

Info about some mods:
1.4Ghz Overclock + UV. Kept Qualcomm's frequencies table as proved to have less battery drain for some reason.
The undervoltaging is max -50mV on most frequencies, as to avoid error corrections from low voltage (errors in calculations increases drain a lot) and also to avoid cpu halts. Needs further investigating for lower values.
Now using aire's values, the best for battery for over a year.
11mb ram freed from camera and adsp pmem. This came from many tests that showed that when taking 8mp pictures, 720p video (w/ or w/o stabilizer), playing 720p video with hw decoding and hw audio decoding audio, the used pmem was max 42MB for camera pmem and 6MB for adsp. Can be freed 7-8Mb more but didnt do it for stability reasons under multimedia multitasking.
That also shows us that the stabilizer lag in camera doesn't come from the pmems. I'll try to check the camera sources and see if it's driver related.
If you find anything strange with anything that use the camera or the DSP tell me and please provide logcat logs.
Triple Buffering. At last some JB goodies to us using stock. This gives great UI and game Frame rates (tested). It uses the normal mode (as we don't have the vsync sync pulse like JB, which also auto disables it when not needed), and that means that it doesn't introduces slight lag to input. In games if you see something strange though please reply in this thread.
Random Entropy Generator. Fixes and tweaks to random generator. And also to binfmt_elf, no more entropy depletion through using shell, scripts and generally any binary. Say no to blocking random, and enjoy a smoother UI.
Now with frandom for 50x more performance.
Governors/IO scheds. No bloating here. Kept only the best for battery and performance.
The default ones are the highly optimized. If you have some tweaks for all schedulers that will increase battery and performance (always in balance), don't hesitate to tell me.
Key reset. You can reboot your phone when kernel halts or something brought your phone to its knees by pressing
Power + Home for 5s. Don't do it just for restarting it fast! This does not good to your filesystem because they can't sync,
so you can lose changes made the last seconds. Also after initiating it you don't have to press both buttons for the remaining 4s.
In 2.8 the combination is Power + Home + Volume Up for 5s.
Twrp and Cwm differences. TWRP and CWM are both recovery apps but use different apis.
CWM use nandroid backup and TWRP uses it's own.
CWM uses and old recovery API (v2) and TWRP use the newest recovery API 3
That means that you can't use a backup made with cwm in twrp, and vice versa.
In TWRP, some flashable zip will not work, until they have a newer update-binary (that supports API 3).
(That's the one provided by Team Win: update-binary-3)
If you want other info, again write here. And last but not least the kernel version number 0.8a doesn't mean that's beta. The kernel right now is highly optimized and working. The version just means that I'll try many things more to make our phone better.
Thanks:
wedgess for his great Lupus kernel sources.
aire and vdsirotkin for their great kernels that i used for many months at both GB and ICS.
DooMLoRD Well you all know why
thomas1991_12 and championswimmer for help and twrp binary accordingly
And to all Freexperia Project members for their great patches and fixes to our phones.

DISCLAIMER for sharing outside xda:
It got to my attention that the kernel is shared in many boards outside xda
and especially in many Asian ones. It's fine to make a complete copy of OP and changelog,
I don't mind, but you have to provide a link to this thread.
Also, the most important, please use my links for kernel binaries. If you don't do this, I can't see usage stats of my kernel.
That's why I use mediafire. It's fast, supports multiple connections, no wait time and is usable in every country.
Downloads and Sources:
Main Version:
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.4GHz + UV
or
CTCaer Kernel 2.8.2 UKSM special version
The special version may not work for you, cause of lower voltages. After 20 sept, i'll do proper releases.
Vdd Version:
DISCLAIMER: I will not provide help on reboots and bootloops on 1.6GHz + VDD control version.
It's here for people that need 1.6ghz and voltage control only. Default speed is 1.0Ghz.
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.6GHz + VDD control
If you want to use usb storage, ntfs and more you can flash these modules (if not, they are optional):
Modules for CIFS, NTFS, FUSE and USB Storage v2 ** Updated **
The updated modules bring: Updated cifs,fuse,ntfs,usb-storage and adds nls_utf8 for Unicode support, plus oprofile for people that want debugging.
CTCaer Kernel needs stock wifi modules. If you changed them, flash this:
Stock .13 WiFi modules
If you came from a kernel that you had to flash custom modules, use the flash zip above to have the stock ones again.
Some kernels, like Lupus, change the modules on their own, by just flashing the kernel and powering on the phone.
The original with Lupus are moved in /system/lib/modules.old.
Info for going back from Lupus
Many thanks @arcatarc for providing the flashable update zip.
Old Versions:
CTCaer Kernel v2.7 1.4GHz + UV

Changelog:
Older:
v0.8a:
*Initial Release.
v0.9 (renamed to v2):
*Added 1.6Ghz (UVed)
*Removed Ondemand
*Added OndemandX cpu scheduler
*Added CFQ i/o scheduler
*Removed autoroot
*Changed ro.secure to 0 for rooted ADB on default
*More ram (because of ramdisk's reduced size)
*Fixed Kernel Samepage Merging startup.
*Reduced freq to 1Ghz for kernel booting (to avoid 1.6ghz's drain). Comes back to 1.4Ghz for at bootanimation.
*Some more ramdisk changes
v2.5:
*New logo. SE strikes back with energy logo
*Deep undervolting. Thanks to Intuki for providing aire's values
*Fixes to binfmt_elf. No more random entropy depleting through using cat, ls and well every binary and script.
*Random entropy generator tweaks. I scream more UI smoothness
*Enabled cpu group scheduling
*Better pmem (updated to 2.6.35.x. For full changelog: pmem patch)
*Removed unused modules and some non-usefull debugging for a lighter Kernel
*Fixes to memory leaks on the networking side
*Fixes to android binder
*Usb network tethering support
*Added ipsec tunneling support
*Fix to cpufreq. Now you can see available frequencies through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
*Removed KSM because after so many days nothing in our phone calls it
*Tweaks to ramdisk for faster boot
v2.51:
*Reverted pmem code to stock to fix broken adsp for videos. Sorry about that :/
*Known bug on 2.50-.51: Unstable 1.6ghz because of low voltage.
v2.52:
*Added 1.5ghz and stabilised 1.6ghz more
*Changed PATH variable at boot end so busybox is not taken from /system/bin or xbin
*Increased 720p vidc default input buffer for smoother video playback
*Fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reusedimmediately
MIUI compatibility:
*Added MIUI shelld service (stock based roms are not affected by this), thanks to stillka
*Reverted binder patches
v2.6:
*Split kernel to 2 versions:
1.4GHz with Undevolting
1.6GHz with Vdd (voltage) control
*More Undervolting to lower frequencies for even better battery for main version. (3 days test showed 1% per 7hours with gsm+wifi on+widget updating every 1 hour)
*Stabilized higher frequencies.
*frandom implementation inside kernel. No need for module. It's 10-50 times faster than random/urandom
Replaced random and urandom with frandom and erandom. No need for apps to do that and it's done at boot so no app or process use the old ones.
(For ramdisk modders: the script is in /sbin/bootrec. You need it for frandom replacement before android boots.)
*Enabled bfq i/o scheduler cgroup
*Fixed PATH variable for good. Now it will report the right busybox in scripts and apps that can't use their own path.
*Tweaked cgroup values for background apps and more
*Enabled memory suspend deep power down. (This will do nothing for roms that can't use it, or without a script calling it)
*Enabled scheduler tunables (like sched_latency_ns, sched_wakeup_granularity_ns and more). Here's a good read about them: sysctl scheduler tunables
Tuning them will provide some more boost to your ray. Have in mind results are different from system to system and different workloads.
v2.7:
*Default scheduler is now SIO for nand and sd
*More total ram (4MB)
*Tweaks and fixes to msm_fb and mdp, for optimized and faster rendering plus less ram usage.
*Optimizations in memory management
*Updated LMK to the latest aprl-2013 version and added some tweaks
*Updated to a more optimized Compaction
*Optimizations to RCUTiny
*Optimized smartassv2 and added Boost pulse
*Added ROW scheduler, thanks to @kast
Experimental!
(Also some optimizations from the k3.4 version are missing for now)
Any benchmark on SIO vs ROW are welcomed.
*Performance optimisations on SIO and Deadline i/o schedulers
*Updated CFQ i/o scheduler
*Reordered functions in input driver for faster touch responce
*Removed Superbad and Lulzactive to lessen the kernel threads and free ram
*Kernel decompressor optimazations to Lzo
*Added Reset by pressing Power+Home keys for 5s
Only use it when you have to. (example: kernel halt) Don't make it your new reboot way!
*Made vibrator worqueue's priority higher to lessen the lag in big cpu load
*Added compact mem per node
*Fixed performance calculation in vidc (video codec)
*Enable Fsync
*Protect a proccess from killed by LMK far too many times

I'll consider it. I'll maybe add one with 1.6ghz or with one capped at boot at 1.4ghz. Will see
How i wish their is interactiveX & CFQ. ehehe
From the features it seem a really good kernel(i like the fact it use stock wifi modules too),tnx,but i have some questions:
1)It is undervolt embedded in kernel?
2)Can you make a version without autoroot (or can i modify your ramdisk to use in my rom)?
Tnx in advance and keep the good workin..
Sweet candy, baby! Sounds AWESOME! Flaaaashing immediately! OMG, LOL!
Triple Buffering=project butter?
OK flashed, looks promising. I am on Zelly Cream and superuser doesn't start. What now?
EDIT: Cleaned dalvik, cache, fix permissions, cleared data on superuser app. SuperSU also not able to update binary. Sorry if it's a stupid situation.

It was in my intentions to add CFQ but forgot to re add the kernel flag. Have in mind that cfq maybe is one of the most configurable io scheds but bfq does a better job in fairness (because it's an improved cfq).
As for interactiveX I'll review it.

1) Yep to avoid reboot problems. (even in stock voltages and configurable vdd for example, my ray reboots.)
I'm open though to suggestions about levels. In the next days I'll play a little with the current_now and try some new voltages until i find the
sweet spots before the error corrections begin. Also if for example 750mV has the same drain with 800mV I will keep the 800 one for stability. No need for extreme undervoltaging.
2)Well to be true I didnt wanted to included but many ppl need that feature from the kernel. If will remove it? Dont know yet.
But for sure you can edit the ramdisk. Just comment out the autoroot service in init.rc or delete the autoroot.sh in /sbin.

Yep. Well almost. It's what the project butter is based off.
Until now (testing it for 8days) it does a good job and the UI feels a looot better.
Need some tests from games though. I heard that triple buffering made some glitches in xperia T JB. If it's kernel related maybe i can add the patch to our sources.

Well it's not. The superuser is the latest 3.2 and does not have update ability (the button that says update is cosmetic and version informative). The autoroot script is copying the superuser and the su. You are ready to go.
Also no need for wipes. If something doesn't work it has nothing to do with caches.

Hi Folks!
So here is the gift i was working on! Here I present you Arsenic.Kernel for Oxygen OS and OldDroid's AOSP. Rebased to new source released by OnePlus, Some features "might" be different from cm/aosp version starting with the new naming convention (changed from "release" to "version") for these builds.
Made this Separate thread for OOS builds for better user experience and easier debugging of reports.
If you are running a Custom Kernel already then plz CLEAN FLASH Oxygen OS before flashing Arsenic, official zip doesn't offer system wipe so dirty flash wont work, you gotta clean flash manually!
Zip doesn't offer any module changes and doesnt mess with the ramdisk so you can feel free to dirty flash it over Arsenic's previous versions( Dont forget to clear data of kernel adiutor or anyother kernel control app you're using before ).
Keeping op short and simple and with keeping New users in mind, here is a brief description about kernel:
Features:
Supports Oxygen OS and OldDroid's AOSP Only!
Built with Latest GCC 4.9 toolchain from Google.
Device and target flags enhancements and improvements, etc.
Kernel compressed with XZ.
Upstream CAF fixes and changes.
USB Fast Charge.
Switched to -O2 Optimization level.
Adreno idler. Nuked in OOS builds (as of now)
Lowered Min. GPU Frequency level to 27 Mhz.
Krait C-states customizations.
ExFat support.
Disabled Lots of useless Debuggings and Redundant Code.
New Governors and I/O Schedulers.
Optimized compression.
Various Upstream backports.
SOC Driver Tuneables.
Enabled Arch Power.
Optimized RWSEM Algorithm.
FiiO USB DAC driver for better input detection
Options to disable various wakelocks.(Use them wisely!)
TCP Congestion algos (like westwood,cubic etc).
CPU Input Boost.
Voltage Control.
Various under the hood Battery and performance improvement patches(Advance users can look at my git, each commit is there with proper explaination).
Stability and Battery backup at its Peak!
Available Govs: conservative, impulse, interactive, ondemand, performance, powersave, smartmax, userspace, wheatley, yankactive, zzmoove.
Available I/O Scheds: row, bfq, fiops, noop, cfq, ZEN, Tripndroid.
Keep an eye on the changelog for more/newly add features as this list wont be updated regularly so either have a look on Changelog or just flash Arsenic and explore yourself..!

Bugs and issues:
Little longer Boot Time as compared to stock kernel - working to decrease it! (cant you wait a couple of secs. to boot? it should only bother those people who reboot every hour. lol)

Default profile for zzmoove gov. is set to 0 by default, change it to your desired profile, more info about profiles are HERE.
I prefer ybat (profile_number=2).

F.A.Q's :
Can you add [this] and [that] feature to arsenic?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary(atleast to me). As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!
Any plans of upstreaming the linux version?
No, and i wont. Though i have test builds ready but they wont make up to the release version. Upstreaming linux version doesnt make much difference infact it does degrade Arsenic's performance. Reason why i'm against it is that I've removed almost all possible useless redundant code and debugging present in it to improve kernel in all aspects, upstreaming will not only add alot of redundant code but will also add debugging functions for those redundant code! Which will not only increase kernel's size but will heavily impact on kernel's performance, battery backup and stability. Currently 3.4.0 is "THE" most stable branch and i'd like to keep it.
Why MPDecision? Why not remove the hell outta it?
You want me to remove something which was developed by some of the finest engineers of this world and is currently being shipped on almost all android devices..? Dont you think there would have been a reason why Google chose MPDecision over anyother hotplug.
What most of the users arent aware of is that, MPDecision works best with the default thermal solution, all it needs is a little touch..
As far as adding an additional hotplug, m still thinking about it.
Why so rude?
Not rude, Determined. Everything i do has a reason behind it. And I do sometimes accept feature request if they seems to be worthy.

OOS is not like a custom rom so to be on a safer side follow the above procedure.
You can dirty flash the future releases though, but if you are coming from anyother kernel then follow these above steps to avoid any conflicts.
Kernel is great Nimit few days now running like a champ!!

So what is fast charging? Afaik our charger gives max of 1800 mA, so can you explain it a bit?

By default hardware restricts USB charge current to <500 mA when connected to a PC/laptop, USB Fast charging driver syncs it with AC charge current rate.
Though rate varies accordingly to load average and device usage. Its managed by system for better result instead of forcing with a predefined value.

other custom kernels might leave postboot scripts and modified ramdisk which might conflict so, its better to clean flash.
Flash it working perfectly.

Just set minimum freq of gpu to 200Mhz instead of 27Mhz for gaming.
And its "OnePlus X", do you really expect it not to heat even while playing games?
Even if i add some custom thermal solution it will impact on UX while playing games as it will try to throttle CPU to control heat which might bug you lol
