This only works on Gingerbread, not anything else. We are still working on finding alternative tweaks for ICS and JBThis is a MOD to boost the performance of the Adreno 205 GPU in the Xperia Play. (This mod should also work on other Adreno devices (Adreno 205+) and whilst some people have had some success I cannot confirm which devices other than the Play it works with)
This mod is a joint collaboration/venture of me and CosmicDan. However, as of version 0.2 CosmicDan has unfortunately left the Xperia 2011 range for better things. I wish him every success in the future.
CosmicDan was able to find a variant of the 'adreno_config.txt' file that contains settings that should work on our device. Since finding this we have found numerous combinations of settings that increase the performance of our chips. See below.
What does it do?
The configuration file consists of multiple options, each which do their very own unique 'tweaking' to the way the GPU performs. One of the most notable options we are using is 'triJuice', an explanation of which is below:
If our phones were to have their own driver application, what this would be doing is essentially moving the 'Quality/Performance' slider towards 'Performance'. This tells the GPU to concentrate on 'Performance' rather than 'Quality'.
See CosmicDan's explanation here:
It's common graphics stuff and the same for PC's, we have told the GPU to put a focus on performance instead of quality. But the quality is not sacrificed much, it's barely noticeable. Maybe some games will look not so well, you'll have to test and see.
It's like we've lowered effect and texture detail on a system-wide level, allowing the CPU and GPU to give more time to work on geometry and frame updates and such. Useful because many games don't have settings for graphics quality.

Another notable option is 'forceAutoTextureCompression'. This saves RAM and makes texture rendering faster, but the actual loading of the game might be a tiny bit slower - however once it's loaded it will have faster rendering.
A list of possible settings for this configuration file are below (For detailed descriptions please see attached)
Post 3 lists which settings tend to increase or reduce performance, I will not give instructions on how to modify this however if you to intend on making your own config file please use Post 3 as a guide.

Instructions
Download and copy the ZIP to SD Card. Then flash using CWM.
NOTE: Please ensure you reboot your device after the first boot post-installation of the mod or it will not be active.
Requirements
Init.d support
Root
Any Gingerbread ROM
Screenshots
IMPORTANT!! - Please ensure you thank 'CosmicDan' as well for this fantastic mod. A huge portion of the work has been done by him!
(See 5th post if you would like to 'Thank' him)

Troubleshooting
First, give yourself another reboot - Just in case!
If it still doesn't seem to be working for you, check to see if the files have copied to your device. Check the following locations for the following files with any file manager with Root support.
/system/etc/init.d - Filename: 93adreno
/system/etc - Filename: adreno_config.txt
You should also see adreno_config.txt in the following location if the init.d script is working correctly: /data/local/tmp
If this file is not in this location then chances are you do not have init.d support.
Black screen on boot? See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40013461&postcount=377
Extras
You can assist with the testing of some of these settings by doing the following:
Open a new text file in a standard text editor (Notepad++ or Notepad for Windows)
Choose values from the above post to put into your configuration file. (Use the attached adreno_config.txt file as an indication of what setting does what)
Save this new file as 'adreno_config.txt'
Copy this text file to your phones SD Card.
Open your File Manager on your phone (I use ES File Explorer)
Prepare adreno_config.txt on your SD Card for copying
Navigate to /Data/local/tmp and paste the file there
Reboot.
Please be aware that if you have any cleaner init.d scripts this will NOT work, as when you reboot /data/local/tmp will be deleted.
Devs/Chefs/Tinkerers
If you would like to add this to your ROM please simply drop a short request in this thread or PM.
After which, please ensure proper credit is given.
Current Antutu Highscore
(With the benefits of this mod) - By CrypticRook
Manually Uninstalling the Mod
Navigate to the following locations and remove the files.
/system/etc/init.d - Filename: 93adreno
/system/etc - Filename: adreno_config.txt
/data/local/tmp - Filename: adreno_config.txt

Tested Settings
Untested:
preserveZStencilOnSwap - enabling might improve performance at the increased risk of visual artifacts
Dangerous:
facenessCulling - Turning on causes crash on boot
FPSCap - setting to anything other than 0 (even to 60 or 100) causes unstable 2D rendering
2D.eglSwapMode=interrupt - Causes unstable/looping 2D rendering. Applications fail to initialize.
fullSurfaceDynamicUpdatePath - reduces 3D performance by around 10%.
Performance Boosts:
forceAutoTextureCompression - Turning this on seems to help a LOT with 3D performance. Might increase load times by a a tiny amount.
triJuice - setting it to the max value of 3 increases particle/shader/lighting performance a LOT with a minor loss in quality
forceMSAAMode - enabling this will force no anti-aliasing as long as MSAAMode is left at 0. Could increase performance on some things but make them look very chunky
2D.HwBlt - Enabling this should enhance GPU hardware acceleration in gingerbread. It says default is enabled but I've set it to 1 anyway.
oxiliForceVsSingleThread=1 - Must be enabled with oxiliForceFsSingleThread=1 for performance increase. Prolonged usage has negative impact (Needs more testing).
oxiliForceFsSingleThread=1 - Must be enabled with oxiliForceSingleSp=1 for performance increase. Prolonged usage has negative impact (Needs more testing).
oxiliForceSingleSp=1 - Must be enabled with oxiliForceVsSingleThread=1 for performance increase. Prolonged usage has negative impact (Needs more testing).
clockGating - Turning this on might save power consumption (Currently being tested more to confirm). However there is no performance drop by having this enabled
Seemed to hurt performance: (I did not test these much, could do with more tests one-by-one)
leiaEnableLrzExpansion - enabling might.... do something.
leiaEnableFastLrzUnresolves - enabling might improve performance
oxiliDisableChunkedUpdates - enabling might improve performance
oxiliForceShaderDirectUpdates - enabling might improve performance
oxiliForceConstantDirectUpdates - enabling might improve or reduce performance
oxiliForceShaderSingleContext - enabling might improve performance at cost of quality
oxiliForceSuperthreadMode - enabling might improve performance or reduce it. Probably conflicts with above one.
suppressTimestampInterrupts - enabling might improve or reduce performance
Null/No Difference - These options made no effect on performance from their default settings
shadowGmemInAppBuffers - no effect on performance or quality

Great! Really looking forward to seeing what you can do

Thanks for letting me know you opened a topic
I've been doing some research and here's what ideas I've found so far:
clockGating - Turning this on might save power consumption. Will need to test if it has a performance hit.
facenessCulling - Turning on causes crash on boot
forceAutoTextureCompression - Turning this on MIGHT save RAM and/or MIGHT increase load times/CPU usage.
triJuice - raising this value might increase performance but decrease quality of mipmapping.
shadowGmemInAppBuffers - disabling might improve performance but break some things
preserveZStencilOnSwap - enabling might improve performance at the increased risk of visual artifacts
fullSurfaceDynamicUpdatePath - enabling might improve performance at the increased risk of visual artifacts
forceMSAAMode - enabling this will force no anti-aliasing as long as MSAAMode is left at 0. Could increase performance on some things but make them look very chunky
2D.HwBlt - Enabling this might enhance GPU hardware acceleration in gingerbread. It says default is enabled but I've set it to 1 anyway.
2D.eglSwapMode - changing to interrupt mode might.... do something. LETS TRY IT!
leiaEnableLrzExpansion - enabling might.... do something.
leiaEnableFastLrzUnresolves - enabling might improve performance
oxiliDisableChunkedUpdates - enabling might improve performance
oxiliForceShaderDirectUpdates - enabling might improve performance
oxiliForceConstantDirectUpdates - enabling might improve or reduce performance
oxiliForceShaderSingleContext - enabling might improve performance at cost of quality
oxiliForceSuperthreadMode - enabling might improve performance or reduce it. Probably conflicts with above one.
oxiliForceVsSingleThread - enabling might improve or reduce performance
oxiliForceFsSingleThread - enabling might improve or reduce performance
oxiliForceSingleSp - enabling might improve or reduce performance
FPSCap - setting to 30 or 60 might help with all-round performance and reduce lag spikes. Maybe.
suppressTimestampInterrupts - enabling might improve or reduce performance
Right, that's a lot of things for me to try one by one. If anyone else wants to, go for it. Just remember it could completely break your boot

Re: [WIP] Adreno Configuration Settings [Improved Performance?]
I did lol.. In the adreno thread xD
Ill make it more clear next time.
I've just tried a few things... Managed to make Antutu crash lot. Just finally completed a full benchmark but then the OS died. Going well so far. Cya in about 7 hours!
Edit: it looks like you can copy it to data/local/temp and the settings will apply for next boot. After which it is then removed from the directory. Which for me makes things a bit easier!

Oh by the way, copying the config file to /system/lib/egl/ definitely does nothing. I tested by setting FPS cap to 5, no effect. File needs to be at /data/local/tmp/ - it does *not* get wiped on reboot so its OK.
EDIT: THe file isn't removed from /data/local/tmp/ for me =\ maybe you have an init.d script that erases it or something.

Re: [WIP] Adreno Configuration Settings [Improved Performance?]
Possibly. Ill check.
Btw, I just managed 13fps on the OpenGL ES2.0 test on Antutu. It was hilarious, so many artifacts... But it passed it!
...Until it died on the SD card test. If you use Antutu I suggest doing custom tests and taking SD out. Or reducing OCs. I think my 1.6ghz may be the problem.
Or perhaps we should use stock clock a to base our tests on?
Edit: seems like almost every setting you try also kills the bootanimation lol

I can't get past the 2D/sprite test in Antutu (the little Androids) it freezes at the end lol. Boot animation was always OK for me....
Yeah, using a stock clock would be a good idea. But I'm on 1.4 ghz anyway because that's what I've always used and always been stable on.
EDIT: I think setting FPSCap to 60 was the reason for Antutu freezing on 2d test.
EDIT2: You are using LuPuS GB kernel right? Because Turbo Kernel has backported KGSL drivers, so that's probably why we not only have different performance scores but may have different results with these configs.

OMFG! LEGEND!
Gonna test on mine and report back ASAP. Gimme 10 - 20 mins, depending on when I can get a free sec @ work. Lol. xD
Edit: Unable to replicate your score at the moment. Getting stock scores, most likely something to do with those pesky init.d scripts. Deleting now and will report back shortly

In the next turbo kernel release I'll make the kernel do a symlink from /data/local/tmp/adreno_config.txt to /system/etc/adreno_config.txt (it will be linked before init starts so will apply straight away), that way we can include modified config with ROM's.
You could just make an init.d script do the same thing, but then the ROM will need to be rebooted again (because adreno driver is already loaded).

I think I'll include an init.d script with my ROM, so that in the event someone isn't using your Kernel it will still work as intended.
...At least, after a reboot.
Doing Antutu now btw, ITS CRAZY FAST OMG. About to give you results. UNO MOMENTO!

OMFG!
This actually brought a tear to my eye... Lmfao... XD

Yeah I realized that too, already done it for Turbo UI Classic (which is uploading now). This should work:
/system/etc/init.d/93adreno:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
if [ ! -h /data/local/tmp/adreno_config.txt ] then
ln -s /system/etc/adreno_config.txt /data/local/tmp/adreno_config.txt
fi
EDIT:Woohoo! Play broke the 7000 mark
Now I wonder how Jellybean on Turbo Kernel performs.... maybe closer to 8000 lol! And the visual quality of the orc fight 3D test looked OK for you yeah?

Will be good to know if the results on LuPuS GB kernel are worse, better or the same with this config.

My test was done on LuPuS GB.
Sorry - I moved back from your Kernel last night. =x
Thank's for the script. I'll add it to v0.5 Aurora now. xD
Edit: Agreed. JellyBean should have crazy scores... Right, I'm gonna test a few of the other configs. From that list you've done, can you 'tick' off which you have already checked please? Just so I can continue where you left off at.
Orc fight looked perfectly fine. If it were a HD movie I'd say it had a low bit-rate, but it's not... So I have no idea what to call it, but it does look ever so slightly more grainy. But this is barely noticeable at all.

I looked in /data/local/tmp/ and there was no adreno_config.txt I'm using joka wild any ideas did I have to do something before hand using LuPuS v6 480p I'm very interested because I use this a a gaming device as I have a nexus 4

That's OK, I'll still win the record by being first to test Turbo UI (JB) score lolz

You need to move the file there yourself.
See attached.
Move the file to /Data/Local/tmp and reboot. Ensure you have no init.d scripts that clear cache or tmp though, as it will not work.

I made a quick Update ZIP to flash the mod/script and updated the first few posts.
You have been fully credited of course in the updater_script
Gonna look into other settings now.
Edit: I'm not sure I like the new Mediafire layout :|

[*]v0.4.5b: Lowered Hotplugging values. They were fairly ridiculous. Disabled sched_mc, redundant with hotplugging on. Freq_cpu1on back at 600hz. GPU Thresholds changed to 85/70/85/65 (Thanks droidphile). GPUSTAYCOUNT=2 on all. Upped ondemand/down_differential to 10.
[*]v0.4.4b: Changed freq_cpu1on to 800Mhz. Changed GPS Quick Fix to H3llstorm's. Updated Ad Blocking Hosts file. Uncommented Wifi/Phone Experiments in s92init_doh.
[*]v0.4.3: 2.6.13 Siyah Required. Moved most of the tweaks in init_doh to default.profile for the new 2.6.13 SiyahKernel. This will allow you to edit most of this in ExTweaks app. Added 80MB LMK v6 SuperCharger memory tweaks by zepp & Pika. Cleaned out most commented lines in system_tweak, and a couple AOSP issues. Updated ThunderBolt! scripts. Changed hotplug values / GPU steps for hopefully better battery. Changed scheduler to SIO. Choosing a lower minimum brightness for better battery. Commented out Experimental Tweaks in init_doh script.
[*]v0.4.2b: Few build.prop tweaks again, these from ICScrewD. You will see them at the bottom of init_doh under "Latest Experiments". Could cause AOSP issues. Also extracting bolt_scripts to both /emmc/ and /sdcard/, hopefully fixing some peoples complaints about it missing. Overall, just a small update.
[*]v0.4.1b: Deep Sleep Freq set back to 100-800 @ 400mhz bus. If .4.0 is working fine for you, no need to update.
[*]v0.4.0b: Deep Sleep Freq set to 100-500Mhz and bus @ 133Mhz (This could cause SoD's, let me know). Set Governor to Ondemand (Good Battery Life with Moderate Use), tweaked ondemand towards Battery Saving. Fixed 100Mhz mV to 925 (Instead of 920). Changed GPS fix to Crypted's patch (experiment). Back to 3 step GPU (100/160/[email protected]/850/900mV). 1000Mhz bus set back to 266Mhz.
Q: Where is my init.d folder? A: On your main storage. "/system/etc/init.d/". Find it with File Manager
Q: I want to change stuff like voltages/governor, but how? A: Browse to the init.d folder, open s99init_doh with a text editor such as Jota Text Editor. Trial and error from here.
Q: Cool story bro, but I can't edit/save the file. Wth? A: Calm down. The directory is read only. In file manager go to the directory, then open your menu -> more -> settings, scroll to the bottom and check root and mount. When u are finished, unchecked those two.
Q: How do I boot into recovery (CWM) mode? A: Through your power menu, through the CWM app on your phone, or: With the phone off, Vol-Up,Vol-Down, Power Button - Hold down at same time till your in recovery
Q: I tried hitting my power button recently, but the screen never came on (SOD). Whats up? A: Hard to say exactly, but lets start pumping the CPU voltages up. 25mV at a time. If it continues even at stock voltages, long-press power to reset the phone and then pull /proc/last_kmsg and let me know!A lot of people can push their voltages lower, I can too. Trying to make this script universal for us siyah people. Don't be afraid to increase/decrease your CPU voltages 25mV at a time, never go higher than stock in my opinion.
Undervolting is pretty much a placebo with your screen on. At most people save is 5% more battery with extreme undervolting. If you get one reboot, you may have drained more power than you have saved. If you want to save battery, turn your brightness low and choose a governor that stays away from the max freq the most. Your phone will also save a little more juice if you can handle 100Mhz as lowest state.

Backup your init.d folder if you want to be safe, this will overwrite all the files listed above. Also if you have a voltage control service, odds are that this won't work (at least the cpu/gpu/voltage tweaks).Go give thanks to: (Click on their names below)

Doubt it. Parts of it would, so you could dissect certain things like the gps/hosts file. Thanks for bringing that up though, I have to remember you i9100 folks are currently in love with ICS. Us i777 have it way to buggy.
Update: I will check back later today to see if anyone has any issues.

love the name

Lets try it. Thanks!
Will give feedback after a day or so. Installed battery version

No harm in having something new to play with i guess. Great thread mate.

Just installed the performance version and it's working great coupled with Checkrom and Siyah. Thanks!
EDIT: Hmm, my SGS2 seems to be having issues with the three GPU frequency steps, as ShadowGun isn't running smooth anymore.

This is where I need your help. If you could, go into ExTweaks. In the gpu tab could you increase the first step to 160 2nd to 267. First step mV 850. 950mV for 2nd. Let me know how that runs.

Tried changing the settings, but it seems it wasn't related to the settings of your script, but the kernel. Running stock now and everything is working as it should. Would definitely recommend this script for anyone wanting a little boost in performance!

Just checking in. Curious if anyone has any issues/recommendations. This script has over 1500 installs since last month in the i777 community. I am looking for ways to improve it, and your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks again folks.

will try soon, after reflashing back to 100% stock KI4 on my S2
and this thread has the best appearance that i've ever seen on xda, really

Hi cwc3,
After recharge and your scripts it last 22 hours before my battery is empty with normal use.
It runs very smooth, where I expected some lags as its the battery version.
I have the feeling longer usage is possible if the voltage is set a bit lower. What do you think?

Worth a try. I'm my tests, lowering voltages was more of a placebo. The voltages are found in the s92initdoh init.d script.
Did you notice any increase in battery? Typically you should notice a little lag when switching between things. The main battery saving from this script is going to be from the underclocking on both CPU and gpu.
Anyways, thanks a bunch for the feedback.

Hi,
I noticed big difference compared to stock, as that would empty my battery within 18 hours.

Glad to hear! I know I'm not thank button shy, but I also appreciate the feedback. If choose to continue using the script, be sure to let me know how things are going. Thanks kart man.

New Update
v0.4.5b: Lowered Hotplugging values. They were fairly ridiculous. Disabled sched_mc, redundant with hotplugging on. Freq_cpu1on back at 600hz. GPU Thresholds changed to 85/70/85/65 (Thanks droidphile). GPUSTAYCOUNT=2 on all. Upped ondemand/down_differential to 10.
Still experimenting with these values based off of peoples feedback/droidphile's thread. Be sure to let me know if you run into any issues, always looking for feedback.

Some of the features. Could you possibly backup and let me know? I can't touch ics for a few more days, and owning a sgh-i777 doesn't help either.

Unfortunately, that time has come: the end of summer. I have had a blast helping you guys and contributing to this community, but unfortunately I have to move on. Why? Because I have all Honors and a few AP courses, and I am going to be overloaded with work this year. I will still contribute to this forum, and help out where I can, but this rom has officially reached a "stable" or semi-discontinued state. I will still support this rom in full, but updates will be very few and far-between, as I will be focusing on my other threads. This rom was a lot of fun to create, but frankly I am far beyond cutting and pasting mods, and I feel like I can focus my efforts on much better things.
If any of you wish to take my place, I have an excellent rom creation guide stickied in this forum, and I am releasing my rom to the public. You guys can take anything you wish from this rom, and even use it as a base for you own projects, as long as you give me credit, and link back to this thread.
Happy devving!

Welcome to EtherealRom, my rom, created from hours of hard work, and mroe than a few bricks, in an attempy to bring you the best of XDA's tweaks and feature's. This is a "cut and paste" rom to some extent, as I created this to showcase the best XDA has to offer, although more than a little of my own development has been thrown in as well. I hope you enjoy this rom, as I truly believe that it is the fastest currently released.
Features:
Gps fix for EXTREMELY fast locks!
fastest Rom by far for the Gplayer currently released. Show me better, and I will match!
Best governor chosen for optimal I/O performance
Advanced sysctl tweaks for great system performance, amazing battery life and super fast apps!
Customized init.d scripts (based off of TweakZV66 and universal adrenaline shot) for the optimal disk usage, memory allocation, battery life, and performance)
Best battery life of any rom currently released (increased at least 1.7X)
Highest Quadrant scores out there! (show me better for the Gplayer, and I will match)
ICS theme (working on making it even better!)
Scrolling cache tweak (fully enabled), for super smooth scrolling!
Fully supercharged for amazing multitasking
HD youtube
Includes Go launcher EX (most free ram)
Advanced improvements for budding developers (full tune2fs, zipalign, Sqlite3, and more)
Beats audio mod (works 100%, even with Poweramp!)
Disabled many unecessary services
Disabled uneeded system apps
My budding theming attempts
Helpful support, courtesy of Hanthesolo.

V2.0-
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?s5i0wnt53brste6
NOTE: this is kind of a beta release, as there are some small ui issues I need the community to help me with. You can still flash this, and it will work fine, just keep that in mind.
V2.1-
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vt8hn6u5rfctjag
NOTE: if you held off before, this one is okay to download. The only thing "broken" is the statusbar.
V2.2-
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0cpwwb8o44og114
NOTE: do not wipe cache/dalvik in this version!!! If you absolutely have to, make sure you do it in cwm!
NOTE: wiping cache/dalvik is strongly recommended for this version as a speed tweak requires it. JUst make sure you wipe cache/dalvik from cwm ONLY.
V2.3-
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dsbgdi5r7p0psqr
NOTE: if you get bootlooped for over 30-45 minutes, reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, and hit "fix permissions" in the advanced menu. reboot, and it should be good.
V2.4-
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mlks4m7b96qyj6d
To install:
1. Download (of course)
2. Make sure you have Either Klin's or the Terrasilent kernel installed.
3. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, go to advanced, and hit reboot download. Note: DO NOT PERFORM A FULL WIPE! It may break your home button if you do.
4. Flash my rom, and profit!
NOTE: on first boot, it may look like it is bootlooping. This is okay! This is caused by the zipalign script ensuring that your apps run as fast as possible. I am casually working on fixing that "issue".
Enjoy, and make sure you drop me a PM if there are any feature/tweaks you want to see in a future version!
If you are interested in some of the tweaks I have applied, or are interested in some specific beta tweaks I have, check out this link for the most up-to-date tweaks that you can apply yourself! Note that that is only some of the tweaks I have applied to my rom, to get the best experience, make sure you flash this first to check it out!
NOTE: I NOW HAVE AN OFFICIAL LOGOs THANKS TO PEDYJOON and Daniel1644. MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE IT IN YOUR SIGNATURE TO SHOW SUPPORT!
Full-sized logos are here and here

BugFixes/Howto:
Convert to EXT4:
1. Flash Klin's R3 or a version of Terrasilent
2. Make sure you have about 14 MB free space on /system.
3. Boot into CWM recovery and do a full nandroid backup.
4. Reboot, and from your computer go to the CWM backup directory on your sd card. Alternatively, you could use a file explorer to view and edit these files.
5. Change all the files from ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar".
6. Open nandroid.md5 with a text editor and change all the ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar". Save and close.
7. Eject the device from your computer FIRST. This step is crucial. Then disconnect from your player. If you edit it on the player, you can skip this step.
8. Reboot to CWM recovery and do a full restore.
9. (only for terrasilent users) head into the advanced menu of cwm, select reboot download, then reflash your terrasilent kernel. That should fix the "bricking" some people experienced.
There you go! enjoy the increase!
Fix home button woes:
I am currently working on a fix, although you can find a working settings.db linked somewhere in this thread's later pages. Simply place it in /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.

Update: it seems that something in the mod I applied was the issue. I will look into it further
Update: What exactly does apk manager mean by a "keep" folder? The project's folder? I believe that not touching that is what may be causing my issues, as I never deleted resources.arsc from it when editing xml the first time.
Update: some of my issue may be due to .9 png's...I will keep working on it. It seems vertumus' theme does not want to play nice with the Gplayer...

Fully restored all links! make sure you grab my latest version! I will release a rethemed version in a few days, but for now, you will have to settle with 1.5. Look at the changelog! I made some pretty cool changes to it.

Hi Han! I have an intl device which is working with your 1.4 strqtusrom. (I will update tomorrow)
I have a big problem : there is not enough ram. When I use the browser and power amp at the same time, most of the time my device freezes. (my launcher is adw ex) And after rebooting I have lost 15% of battery! I've just downloaded ram manager and using "more free memory" profile it seems to be better.
But I think this is the best rom for our players. It is very smooth and fast (my quadrant is 2200 using ext4, smartass, 1.2 ghz, deadline) , and the battery life is great.
So I think you should add more ram. If you keep the ics theme you should also remove the "galaxy player", in the notification bar.
(sorry for my bad English)

So I think you should add more ram. If you keep the ics theme you should also remove the "galaxy player", in the notification bar.

I believe that was a small glitch, which is fixed in 1.5. Additionally check supercharger and make sure the profiles are sticking. I got freezes like yours for awhile until I figured out that it was caused by supercharger not sticking for some reason. Either way that *should* be fixed in 1.5. Are you using terrasilent? sometimes the Zram/Zcache will cause freezing in certain devices when under heavy usage.

Hi Han, glad you decided to continue! Just flashed latest version and all running well so far. Thanks for all your time and effort....

Good to know that it works! in the upcoming releases I will be focusing on theming a but more than features (that is if my computer decides to play nice). I am a little bruned out at the moment so I may take a vacation from this for a day or two (I suppose that's what working in this constantly does to you ), but I will try to keep the updates coming, but maybe not quite as fast as before. next release WILL be V2.0, so I will add a lot of new features, and some major retheming.

Where can I check supercharger? ^^
I am using terrasilent 1.3.5, but (i think) zcache and zram are not enabled.

if you open up a terminal, get su, and type in "v6", it will launch. If it says it is not 100% supercharged, that is the issue. Just run the quick supercharger (option 10) from the menu.

Hey Han, I was just playing around with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719685 and I noticed in the services that TwLauncher took about 33MB and Xperia was at like 11-15MB, so maybe the Xperia launcher is worth looking into, not sure how it compares to LauncherPro but just wanted to put that out there.

Trying to fix my home button. Copied the .db file to my sdcard so I can access it on my computer. What program do I need to edit. I tried on my phone but I could not edit anything. Apparently it thinks I have an international phone.

I flashed 1.5 two or three hours ago, no problems, no bugs, all is smooth and fast.
My Quadrant score now is not 2200 but ... 1200 ! After the first quadrant test.(i was in ext4) i used the adrenaline shot tweak in your oter thread, but my score is still 1200. OC at 1.2ghz, smartassv2, deadline.

thanks for you work,i will definitely try this one.

This is definetly awesome news, I'd like to give a link from my rom to this kernel-can't implement it now, but I'd like to make new versions with your kernel, credits given. Great job, thank you!

Good thing I haven't posted this kernel yesterday. You would have gotten into a real mess: networking would stop working after some use of it.
It was a problem related to compilation. I've fixed it now and testing.
I will upload it to you a little bit later today. Sorry for waiting.

It is there.

i tested the kernel a couple of hours,maybe i made something wrong cause the phone was heating and everytime i exit an app i had redraws on the home screen,some apps just close after using them,without the warning of a FC,like testing the kernel with antutu qhen it reaches 80% the app just closes. And it made the phone slower.
When i made the backup restore i lost a few apps none of them are important,i can download them again.
I used no frills cpu with smartassH3 and vr,with the kernel in max OC and min UC values,and i did not touch the gpu frequency,because i dont know hot to do that.
So basically im not saying the kernel its bad,is that maybe i neded to use another app in order to have better perfomance
So,yes i need help or just point me into the right direction so i can search about it.
I've been using modified kernels,since xperia x10,but this its the first time i have these problems.
And thanks again for your work and effort.

As I mentioned in the thread, avoid using 500 MHz GPU clock. This is the most obvious thing, that makes phone unstable. Set it off using Trickster MOD.
Don't know, why mine is rock stable for like 3 days now (there is something wrong with deep sleep, though. I think different toolchain is responsible for such issue).
I even broke into 10000 (10420 points) mark in Antutu, so yeah... Definitely something's wrong on your phone.
With stock kernel my phone was very laggy, always redrawing no matter which launcher, stutter in almost every game (now even Hungry Shark doesn't lag anymore).

Thanks for the response,but mate,as i mentioned ,i never touched the GPU frequencies.because i was using only no frills cpu in order to use the max oc and the min oc for the cpu.
I will check that app (trickster mod) asap, right now im at the work,also,if you can ,can you tell me your settings please?
And thanks again.

Regarding GPU frequencies, it's the same deal as the CPU frequencies, although changing it could either improve performance or make it worse more drastically.
There's nothing so special about my settings: Using 1024 Kb of sd cache, sio i/o governor, smartassv2 cpu governor, leaving both cores online all the time (deleted mpdecision binary from /system/bin folder, because it's too poor for keeping optimal on and off switching of second CPU core). From OS side I've deleted every possible LG app (left nearly at AOSP level), disabled logcat (because I don't need such right now), using Class 10 microSD card, because it won't bottleneck the phone too much. So that's about it.

RAM
Hello! :cyclops:
Is there any form to optimize the RAM usage? Any application or something? Greenify works?

Im using v2,everything runs better,and its feels smoother,the only thing that i noticed is that i lost data in some apps,had to disable superSU,and Xposed,and open all the apps that requiere root,in order to regain access to the apps that use superSU again,and finally when im using antutu in order to see how is the perfomance it just closes when its about to finish the benchmark,always,besides that minor thing,the kernel its solid,im using no frills cpu with max freq in 1037mhz,min in 245 mhz, sioplus and smartassh3,(im not touching GPU freq),but every time i restart the phone,the values doesnt stay,y have to manually change the governor and scheduler.

Sorry dude,thanks for your effort but i think my phone doesnt like your kernel,i used trickstermod,no frills,set cpu,and the antutu one,and everytime y reboot the phone the kernel has the default settings again,min freq in 245,max freq in 1,036,and it returns also to ondemand and sio.
:/
I made a backup of my kernel,what partition do i need to restore in order to have the old kernel back?????
and again,thanks.
P.S. a friend is using same kernel in his phone,he is using stock firmware,odexed and im using a custom rom,deodexed. And its the same result in both phones.

Yeah, now I'm encountered certain problems and I was testing backported Kitkat kernel for some time now.
That one is miles better than Jellybean's one (it is too buggy, because simply compiling breaks certain things)
Kitkat kernel, at least, puts phone to sleep state properly (now my phone stays cold throughout whole day, if I don't use it at all, while with Jelly Bean's one, it was always warm, sometimes even hot)
And yeah, sorry, who feels, that posted kernel causes some problems. It is addressed now and fixed.
I'm not an expert in C code, so some specific programming issues are unsolvable for me.
And the feedback is always welcome for me.

[Abandoned][TruWhite Mod] Kernel Adiutor Settings for Overload Kernel

TruWhite MOD for Overload Kernel by RandomDelta
I have put together my settings for extracting the best performance with minimal effect on battery life from our Le eco Le 2. I have calibrated the display to true paper white colors and increased saturation to emulate AMOLED displays. Some of you may not like that so you can turn down the color saturation. While changing Voltage settings, please note that not all processors are built the same and yours might not be able to withstand the overclock. If for some reason there are random freezes, Just lower the voltage by 5mv after rebooting. The color profile has been extracted from Le eco vivid color mode EUI 5.9 with boosted color saturation . Not all displays are created equal so the color profile may not be perfect for you. Just adjust RGB by ±5 to get what works best for you. Word of caution, while playing games the phone can get pretty warm. If it concerns you, lower the throttle temperature and Temperature limit under thermal at the cost of some performance. Screen on time is 8 hrs at 50% brightness and 6 hrs at 100% brightness. I recommend 90% for optimum usage. Download the attached zip and adjust settings as in the pictures. Performance Is up by 20% from stock settings and battery usage is 5%less than stock settings. Performance test screenshot is also attached.
Hope you like it . Do comment on how you like it
Suggestions and Requests are welcome.

Every Version of kernel is different from each other and features pop up and disappear with updates. So certain customizations mentioned in this guide may not be available in a different kernel version. Also, optimum values tend to differ from kernel version to version. So yeah, it'll work in v4.15 but you might not get the best results.
It's good for gaming coz you get a 20% performance boost over stock. You can improve performance further by changing CPU and GPU governers to Performance, increasing minimum CPU and GPU speed, increasing minimum number of big cores online and increasing the temperature limits but it will adversely affect your thermals and battery life.

Are you on Overload kernel v4.14. Please ensure that you are. Even if I share the Json file, that setting won't be applied because that setting doesn't exist for the kernel you are on. So it's pointless. Plus to apply the Json file, you need to have the pro version of Kernel Adiutor , which most of us don't. If you want the Json file, it's linked below.

Maybe there was some error during the flashing process. You should redownload the kernel And flash it again. It should solve the issue.

Custom settings for Overload Kernel v4.19 has been released

Settings for v4.20 are the same as for v4.19. So I'm not reposting.
Settings for v4.21 will be released soon.

Thanks for the great work

Themes / Apps / Mods [ROOT] Thermal engine mod ver 1.1

If you are annoyed by your device switching refresh rate to 60FPS or that you are unable to record a video for more than 2 minutes say no more! According to my findings
Sony maxed out all the frequencies without any throttling during camera usage and applied kill switch at 55C.
As for any other use case scenarios, there is an aggressive throttling and forcing screen back to 60FPS, with an exception of using Xperia Stream or Endurance modes. As you may have guessed that these limitation are not to protect the device, but avoid any law suits from people who burned their hands.
Behold!
I present you thermal config mod that will make your device usable and keep your hands warm.
Of course at your own risk, I do not take any responsibility for broken devices, burned hands, radiation sickness or any other catastrophic events.
Description:
During your normal usage (not gaming or camera) the throttling will remain the same, BUT your screen won't switch back to 60FPS.
If you add your game/app to the game enhancer and select "performance profile" it will throttle way less aggressively. Max temperature is changed from 56C to 61C, screen refresh rate will only drop if the display itself will reach 45C.
In "balanced" profile the temperature limit is set to 58C, frequencies are limited to 1574Mhz (Little)+1651Mhz (Big)+2054Mhz(Prime)+545Mhz(GPU).
"Battery mode preferred" is set to 57C with the following limits: 1267Mhz+1325Mhz+1728Mhz+492Mhz.

}
Camera related profiles are set to 63C.
Video recording profile is set to endurance mode (66C temp limit) with a little bit of throttling to cool device down
During recording device will show warning, but won't disable camera functionality. However if the camera module itself will reach the limit temperature (untouched by me), the recording will stop. Additionally modem might be temporary switched off to cool device down.
Is this safe?
As safe as using endurance mode.
I took thermal profile for Xperia Stream dock thermal limits from endurance mode, so it is relatively safe for the device, but may not be as safe for you, if you have sensitive skin.
I strongly recommend using stick/stand when recording high quality videos for a longer periods of time.
Instructions:
You need root and magisk.
Install this module
GitHub - HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs: Make system partition become read-write (it is also possible without Magisk)
Make system partition become read-write (it is also possible without Magisk) - GitHub - HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs: Make system partition become read-write (it is also possible without Magisk)
github.com
After rebooting go to oem/etc with any root file manager, enable R/W and replace the thermal-engine.conf and change.cfg for newer versions.
Make sure to set the same permissions and backup original files.
In the end you may want to go to /data/adb/modules/magisk_overlayfs and modify mode.sh to lock partition again (mode 2), this is done to avoid some apps detecting traces of modified system with Momo app.
Additionally I recommend undervolting GPU.
Thanks to @ragu24 for pointing at the right direction.
To do so:
Install konabess and select your GPU (should be in the middle).
Backup old image.
Then go to import/export.
Export your config (backup).
Import config txt that I shared.
Save GPU freq table.
And then repack and flash image.
After rebooting check the frequency table if the UV applied correctly.
Have fun!

1.0 version:
Introducing modified "battery life preferred" and "balanced" profiles for Game Enhancer (Also thermal limit in custom settings should do the trick)
"Battery life preferred" temp limit: 57C, Max frequencies: 1267Mhz(Little)+1325Mhz (Big)+1728 (Prime)+492Mhz (GPU)
"Balanced" temp limit: 59.5C, Max frequencies: 1574Mhz+1651Mhz+2054Mhz+545Mhz
1.1 version:
Reworked game enhancer profiles to have dynamic frequency adjustment instead of aggressive throttling
Restricted limit for performance profile to 61C
Restricted limit for balanced profile to 58C
Disabled modem endurance mode for performance profile, since device doesn't heat that much anymore (back to stock change.cfg)
Made sure that underclocking kicks in instantly on balanced and battery safe profiles
Minor bug fixes

Also for xperia 1 iii with A13 ?

You have different frequencies and no Xperia Stream support, but we can use profile for endurance mode.
Share your config I will take a look.

V 0.2 Update
Slightly raised screen temperature limit (it was lower in gaming mode) and modified general camera profile (non stock app?)

0.3 Update
Disabled screen fps drop for other game profiles (unless screen itself is hot)
Returned kill switch (previous version will not stop unless other sensors show high temp)
Raised temperature till 64C for camera and game performance profile (same as endurance mode)
P.S.
Seems like Sony maxed out all the frequencies without any throttling and then just shut it it off after it reaches 55C during video recording. No wonder why it overheats lol

Thank you! just installed v0.3, you actually made me root my phone AGAIN just to enjoy this. wow.
i was wondering if i should keep stock and buy a stick for endurance mode or just root for free, and i chose the free and comfortable option.
ps. i also tried seeing what will happen if i flash different region firmware (54 on 72) - it seemed to work, and i could scan barcodes for e-sim cards, but unfortunately reception wasn't working with the different region firmware. now when i am rooted, i will see if it is possible to flash different MBN files to get VOWIFI working (LET+5G works)

Haha, I rooted just to see if it will be possible to implement this mod and pure black background in apps.
Unfortunately you can't just buy any stick and enable endurance mode, device needs to be connected to some external device via usb/hdmi. It almost seems like a way to encourage people to buy compatible accessories.
As for different regions I don't think you can enable e-sim on the device that doesn't has the module. Also if you flash Japanese firmware you will have voice recording for calls, but nfc module will break, because they use different technology.
As for enabling VOWIFI it might be possible. You newer know if the difference is in hardware or just limited by software. For example I converted my XZ premium to dual sim by flashing firmware and replacing sim tray.
You can either experiment with newsflasher or manually.
With overlayFS you can "write" to system partitions(unless it's root folder like system or oem), I think I saw something related to connectivity in /product partition.
Just use unsin tool to unpack part of firmware in open it with 7zip.
In case a failure it's nice to have a bootploop protector module, or you can boot in safe mode to disable magisk and start over. However my mod will need reinstallation too.

Suggestion - a couple of changes to the throttle behavior.
this is how phone throttles after 20 mins of CPU test with a fan on the case. as you can see - no dips, very high performance.
however, this is how the phone behaves when there is no fan attached to the phone (and the phone is without a case):
this suggest that some throttling adjustment is in order, as playing games with this amount of throttle will surely be noticeable.
for reference, this is how the phone throttles on stock profile:
if we can make the temp more consistent and less frame drops - it will be great (not needing to use a fan as well)
EDIT - Throttling behavior from stock is from the original firmware. it should be possible to extract the thermal engine from the initial catches of the Xperia 1 IV and apply them to the current software (currently the phone throttles more than it did in the past, to around 170k points)
app is CPU Throttling Test

@Orof , thank you for your tests! Frame drops are unavoidable, that's the "kill-switch". Without it temperature will keep rising and rising, CPU needs to cool down somehow.
How many threads do you use in CPU Throttling test? I don't think default is enough, as with Burnout Benchmark I was able to trigger modem overheat warning when I disabled kill-switch.
I am working on the new version based on endurance mode with throttling at 57C and kill switch at 66C( max for endurance). It may restrict modem when the temperature will be high enough (Happened during 30 minutes recording [email protected]). Gonna do couple of tests and upload it.

New version is up!
There are two files inside archive now, same logic applies with replacing and setting permissions.

Annnd still hitting the kill switch for some reason (using the new files)
I wonder why. I wish the throttling was more aggressive so that the kill switch wouldn't be met, while still gaining more performance than stock (215,000 according to gsmarena)
*EDIT -changed the threads amount from the default value (20) to 60, still the same.

I used 20 threads.
Maybe you have higher ambient temp?
Also it seems that every device is different for some reason. Some people can film for 15 minutes 4k120fps, others see the thermal warning while just taking photos.
Did you try limiting frequencies with FKM?

I reckon that the higher ambient temp is the issue here, though it doesn't mean that it throttling cannot be initiated sooner or harder to avoid the kill switch, for those who live in a higher temp locations
Will try limiting via FKM. Can already confirm that via the default perf setting (without the mod), score stabilize at around 170-180k with no sudden jumps, so it is something we should be able to do with a bit more tinkering.
Thanks for all the work! I really appreciate it.

With aggressive throttling it will be very similar to kill switch. It will lower frequencies until device will slightly cool down and will do it again after it will heat. On stock it just happens very soon a major performance cuts that's why it's stable on the benchmark. Same can be achieved by locking frequencies with FKM for a specific app/game.

Thanks for the explanation, I understand now why it behaves this way on stock
I wonder if I can fine-tune the frequencies by editing the thermal-engine.conf (and maybe the change file as well) without needing to use FKM. already tried to make some changes to version 0.3 with no meaningful success. will have to dig deeper
Cheers!

Try the uperf mod in combination with the modified thermal config file!
It's dynamically able to adjust the frequencies on the fly - just like FKM but dynamic! Combined with the higher thermal limits it should allow for a smoother experience

Thanks for the suggestion, but when trying to install it on the Xperia using Magisk, installation failed because "Taro is not supported". will try different versions of it ans report back

You can try, just make sure to reuse the frequencies from the config like from game save profile.
Basically we have a choice either to have a higher performance with a little bit of drops or lower performance, but more stable.
On default profiles CPU just cust performance in half when it reaches 53C. Which happens like after 1 minute of CPU Throttling Test.
Anything below that reduction will not prevent CPU from building up the heat, but will slow it down. Without external cooling best you can do is to prolong that performance drop moment or castrate your CPU and "enjoy" stability.
Drops are necessary to keep device from going above maximum temperature (when I completely disabled thermal engine it easily went above 70C) because device sucks at getting rid of heat passively.
Main motivation to create this mod was to prolong video recording time, get rid of annoying screen refresh rate switch, as it causing flickering and squeeze a bit more fps out of emulators with prolonging the moment when the CPU gets castrated.
These synthetic tests do not reflect normal usage. If any game or app behaving like that it means poor optimization with an exception of emulators. It's up to users to configure each game to find a balance between stability and better graphics/more fps.
I'am planning to eventually edit balanced and battery safe profiles inside game enhancer, but don't expect miracles.
Meanwhile if anyone wanna contribute, you may lock frequencies with FKM and run the thermal throttling test on each, to find the one which is more stable, so I can use this data in modified balanced game profile.

I use this one - one of the latest

New version is up!
Basically it eliminates the need to have FKM, as balanced and battery life profiles in game enhancer will castrate frequencies as soon as possible , which will slow down heating (what the point of having maximum performance for a minute anyways? ) and result more stability.
Frame drops may appear sooner or later, depending on your ambient temperature, if you are using my undervolting profile, phone case (all my tests run in aramid carbon fiber case) and in general it seems that it's random for each device.
