Much more :victory:
I am 100% transparent in this. This kernel is a relatively small amount of my work. I looked at the Linux kernel and took patches for a lot of things and merged it into this kernel for whatever reason I decided. I have merged well over 100 patches from the mainline Linux kernel and I think these patches really do make a difference... you can make that judgement for yourself as well
The difference between my kernel and compilation kernels is that my kernel is not based off of any one persons kernel. I started from scratch on AOSP sources and merged in commit by commit to make sure I got what I think are the best solutions.
The best app I have found for controlling this kernels behavior is FauxClock so I will give you my setup in terms of FauxClock. I if I don't mention a setting that means I leave it stock.
My setup:
CPU:
162Mhz Min - 1512Mhz Max
Governor: Interactive OR Intellidemand for battery
MPD: off
GPU:
400Mhz
Governor: Interactive for performance OR simple/ondemand for battery
VSync: On
IOSCHED:
IO Scheduler: FIOPS
Readahead: 512
eMMC entropy Contribution: Off
Gamma Control:
I use the "obsanity_AMOLED" profile
Z-Control:
ZRAM Swap: On
ZRAM Diks Size: 180MB
Clear VFS Cache after Boot: On
Auto FS Writeback Delay Mode: On
Misc:
Dynamic fsync: Off
TCP Congestion Control: westwood

Enjoying the kernel so far, running smooth on CM 10.2. But as this is solely a kanger's work, it would better fit into the Android development section because this is anything but original isn't it?

I did make "it" AFAIK this is the only kernel of its kind. There are other merges that are not as complete and don't give proper credit to some of the developers, however I give 100% credit. Also there are other kernels that pull from other developers/ user their interfaces that are still in this section.
Not attacking you, just explaining my logic for having it in this section, if a moderator wants it moved as well I have no problem with that.
i have been running this kernel for a week and its great on battery.
its just as quick as any other kernel out there. Byte did a great job getting all these tweaks in and running smooth. :good:

Ok, please respect my time spend on that kernel and read at least those few opening posts and last pages of topic.
Many users reported that overclocking doesn't work for them, they got SODs etc. most probably because of gpu overclocking. So I present you a kernel with LiveOC feature that should be good for every user.
1. Main features
2. Tunables
3. Source
4. FAQ
5. Credits
6. Download
1. Main features (more in changelogs and on mine git)
* LiveOC
* Fastcharge
* CustomVoltage
* 441mb of RAM
* 400,800,1000,1100,1200,1300,1400 frequency steps with stock gpu&bus speed
* BFS
* Lowmemorykiller from 3.4
* Frandom
* 3.0.8
* Fsync disabled
* Lowered screen minimum brightness (I hope so that this is our hardware limit)
* default SIO and conservative
* opitmal readahead
* mine touchscreen values
* wifi works at normal speed when device is locked
* battery is charged to its 100%
* Touchscreen undervolted 20%
* Maaany other fixes and small features
2. Tunables
For managing those features you are supposed to use apk like NSTools or any other, but that one is highly recomennded
LiveOC
I implemented it so everybody can overclock as he wants to, total personalization and freedom of choice. And possibility to squeeze maximum performance.
LiveOC simply overclocks CHOOSED cpu frequencies by a % choosed by YOU, user.
As the gpu&bus frequency is simply cpu frequency divided by a number, it also is overclocked by choosed %.
Unfotunatelly cpu frequency and gpu&bus frequency are linked so choosed % affect both of them.
As I said, you can also choose which frequencies to overclock which is great facility.]
You won't probably be able to overclock more than 127% because of our BUS which can't achieve such a frequency (most devices)
For example, you choosed minimum frequency affected by LiveOC as 1300mHz and maximum as 1400mHz.
You set LiveOC % to 110., then:
1,1*1300 ==> 1430mHz
1,1*1400 ==> 1540mHz
1,1*200 ==> 220mHz - gpu&bus frequency for both of the frequencies
Now you probably think: Ok, I can overclock even to 1,7gHz but my device will reboot for sure because of too low voltages! That is why I also implemented CustomVoltage. Although when you overclock it slightly then you possibly won't have to adjust voltages.
*WARNING*
Some frequencies seem to not like liveoc, for me it is 1300mhz. Also some liveoc values can be laggy, use different then.
CustomVoltage
CustomVoltage allows to set you custom voltage for both cpu and gpu&bus.
Perfect solution for undervolting and overvolting when using liveOC
ARM voltage - voltage given to CPU
INT voltage - voltage given to GPU&BUS
Fastcharge
Fastcharge make charging via USB as fast as via normal A/C charger
You can simply turn it on and off whenever you like.
Minimum Brightness
Now your device can be even dimmer when using it at night.
*WARNING* You have to use RootDim apk for this thing. Lowering brightness via setting or on statusbar would require rom modification
I highly recommend seting up a custom tile, you choose Rootdim night1 and for example system icon "cloud".
Then you open RootDim, set your brightness to 1 and longpress Night1 button.
Voilla! You have a custom tile that sets your brightness to 1
I hope that it set brightness to our hardware minimum.
I also recommend switching off keys backlight by a script or manual permissions change

LiveOC helps to squeeze 100% from EVERY device
woah another kernel from you already, woot time to flash
The only one supported. Old are totally aborted. I just had to start from a scratch again.
I hope that youtube and kerys will work for usa, not sure
ok so far i been testing international kernel on latest iurnait's cm10.1 , tried vice city on medium graphics and it works pretty smooth, the touchscreen tweaks makes it really easy to control, cpu freq 100mhz-1400mhz, performance as governor and SIO as scheduler are just working great for heavy usage, best performance on my galaxy player so far, good job :good:
@KOala888 you should add instructions on how to configure liveOC so far Ezekeel's liveOC is pretty interesting but it doesn't scale up voltage and it doesn't OC the GPU well
BTW you should add credit for Ezekeel in the OP because he made the liveOC
1 last thing: there's no UKSM in the kernel

There are some accualy
Also, I did everything in hurry, and as you can see I have written that I have to make better opening post in future, so don;t worry everything will be added, like credits But thank you.
Also it isn't exacly ezekeel's liveoc I think. Why it doesn't OC gpu well? Stratosk has voltages scallable, but it is very individual feature. Most often you overclock 1-2 frequencies, not all of them, so not too much to adjust
I will add suggested configurations and voltages in future. I like liveoc because you can get literally maximum performance from overclocking here.
About UKSM, not sure, git doesn't match my HDD repo to well ;c

It is Ezekeel's, he originally made it for the Nexus S and I believe his name is in the copyright for the liveOC file. By bad GPU overclocking I mean that the GPU is barely being overclocked at all (unless it doesn't have GPU overclocking). For example, in my kernel the GPU runs at 229MHz when the CPU is at 1600MHz. In Nenamark2 with my kernel and CPU at 1600MHz I get 33fps. In this kernel I set the liveOC to 115% and set the CPU to 1680MHz and I only scored 30fps.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
Well I wouldn't say it is anything related to liveoc overclocking gpu in a bad way. It can be voltage, other kernel changes, toolchain (which I will change too), anything
I prefer hardcoded overclocking, but liveoc gives same performance and you can push it to the limits
And I don't need it to be the best in benchs, I want it to be universal. For me it is the best anyway
In epic citadel I got 41 fps

I and i hope some others would greatly appreciate if you just considered creating a gingerbread kernel. Thank you

Okay so with live oc my over clock will increase when needed and remain low when not...
So it's like on demand?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Nope. If you overclock it to 120% then every affected frequency will stay at 120% unless you change it to 100%
Feel free to ask
And about gingerbread, I don't use it. It literally sucks comparing to 4.2.x
So sorry but I can't. Hardware acceleration and many useful features do the thing.
But maybe in future, as an experiment, to see whether it isn't faster while gaming. I already had gb kernel some time ago but discraded.

LiveOC is not automatic, you have to configure it and use it manually. Basically, it allows you to increase the frequencies by a percent between 100 and 150 that you put in. Let's say you put in 110%, then the speed of all the frequencies will go up by 10%, so 1400MHz will become 1540MHz, 1300MHz will become 1430MHz, and so on.

Man, these 5.0 kernels are just amazing. The ram, OC, and everything. I'm really hoping that we'll see kernels with these features on the 4.0 sometime soon!
I'm curious, how much of a battery improvement does the LCD UV make? On the 4.0, the display eats tons of battery, tons and tons more than anything else. Wondering if we brought that to the 4.0 that it might fix that issue.

In NSTools in cpu card you have values like OC target low and OC taget high. If you choose for example 800 and 1200 then every frequency from 800 to 1200 will be overclocked

Wish I knew the exact answer to all those questions. Its my first kernel and im still learning...
Simple GPU im not sure I just know throughout having it its given me better performance.. from my use and experience.
Wheatley from what I know id similar to ondemand but focuses more on battery life.
Uksm is a performance enhancement for the kernel overall.
Theres a thread somewhere on xda that has details for these. I'll look for it in a feq and add a link to it.
Sorry I didnt have details for each though. Still a n00b lol
That's cool, thanks for the reply

UKSM stands for Ultra KSM :: A page (as in memory page) merging algorithm used in linux servers (and desktops...and also KitKat) that merges identical copies of page memories.
So if you have 2 processes that occupy some memory that is identical, instead of using 2x the memory, UKSM will merge them and replace copies with pointers.
It means it makes common processes use less RAM

I wonder if it's possible to add that new file system that was used in to Moto G? Apparently it's responsible for the great scores despite the Moto G using an eMMC card.

So looking forward to it!!!

WheatleyX! Now you can customize the max screen off frequency like Imoseyon's ondemandx and interactivex.
I may remove conservativex by Jamison and add back the default conservative and make that conservativex.
Gonna be working on that today peeps.
Still looking into the led fade notifications. The original one i added picked from the S4 didnt work.
Anyone know a kernel app that allows led control? Not like color control but the blink times and stuff. I got full LED controls implemented, but dont see a kernel app that allows the control. TricksterMod i dont think has it.
Also what about mdnie controls. Got the display color customizations implimented but cant properly test it for the Note 3 yet because there isnt an app that will allow me to change it.
Any suggestions?
MAC Kernel
Figure I might as well release this now before L is here.. This is for kitkat. I will update this kernel for L once source is available and features are updated.
Flash stock kernel if you are coming from a kernel with its own ramdisk also make sure there are no conflicting files from previous kernels. (init.d scripts, etc, etc)

Yeah I did for evo 3d and evo lte..
Forgive my ignorance but since ramdisk edits are done during flash with the work with aosp/cm11 based ROMs. As well as Hybrids like Vanir?
Didn't see that mentioned in detail and with shout outs to savoca, flar ,myfluxi, and codeaurora, I thought that might be the case. Thanks
Just double checking is this for lpx13d? Or older L preview builds?
Edited: Nvm. Didn't read properly... :/

It a thanks to who ever I grabbed features and commits from. Savoca for kcal control, flar2 for msm-sleeler, myfluxi for gamma control, codeaurora for miscellaneous patches, etc, etc. Take a look at the source to see what has been done. I will add a change log tonight or in the morning.
Thank you very much for sharing your hard work so N5 users have another kernel to choose from.
I have read the OP but failed to spot anywhere that it has kxec-hard boot patch for Multirom.
Sorry if its mentioned and I missed it.

Battery life has got nothing to do with the kernel. It's has to be an issue with a specific "badly coded" application you are using. Install BetterBatteryStats and figure it out.

Dude i was using code blue kernel. I got good battery backup with that. Compared to that i felt this kernel got battery performance low. Found a new kernel and i flashed it. Reported here what i felt.
---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------
And performance wise i got 39k+ antutu score with this kernel. No oc. For first time. THANKS dev.

A kernel won't really help. All a kernel does is interact between hardware and software. If you have no good signal in the city, that is what is eating your battery. A cell will practically kill itself to maintain the weakest of signals. Kernels can make a difference when your phone is idle, but if you're actually using a phone the things that affect battery life are screen brightness, signal strength, and how much data you're moving. A Kernel won't, I don't believe, make a lot of difference in battery performance.

Full 3G signal, no auto brightness, same data usage. You cant be always correct dude. And am sticking with this kernel. Got awesome performance.
Anyway thanks.

Good to go. As far as I know, pretty much all of them do by default these days.
Woo hoo! First custom kernel! Thanks for this. I would like to see sound mods(equalizer, bass boost, general headphone + speaker amplification) as well as LED mods(brightness, fade, etc) brought to the device via kernel. But thanks again for the early work. Will flash tonight!

LulzactiveQ govenor
Man that was fast. This is exactly what I was waiting for. Will be testing this tonight. Coming from a note 2 and my favorite Governor was lulzactiveQ, is there any technically reason why that governor would not work with this kernel. I know its a derivative of Samsung PegasusQ and could be specific to their framework. If it's possible. I would love to make that a feature request. If not, I just appreciate the hard work your devs are doing.

The original thread is T-Mobile and it was their source that was published to coincide with release of the device.
The kernel, on the other hand, uses the included spr configuration with the NIE ramdisk (Both Sprint).
Haters welcome, too

It should work, but it'll need to be rewritten. I'll try to find a copy that works as a base.

Samsung has a knack for unified source. They did it on the Galaxy Camera and that one was vzw, AT&T, or WiFi only. At least these are all relatively similar.
Booted up, everything good so far.

I was having a hiccup getting all configured. It's one thing to build a few kernels separately, but it turns into a circus building 5 simultaneously.

Damn .. That's a lot. But again thank you . its working good.
Anything and everything that's in Ktoonez's kernels (been using his for years for of my Galaxy S devices but now I decided to go with the note) ;P
But generally want to see cfq, bfq, sio, noop, row, for I/O schedulers and zen, intellidemand, smartassv2, ktoonservative (if that's possible of course, not sure if that is exclusively available for his kernels).
And of course OC and UV for the CPU and GPU as well as governor support for GPU. Changing the TCP protocol would be cool because I've had a lot of good fortune changing it to "lp" from westwood.
P.S. Not demanding features or an ETA of course, just getting somethings out there I would love to have haha! Thanks for bringing this over to Sprint.

cfq, noop, and row are included by default
sio and zen were added
intellidemand has been attempted but it didn't work at first. Now that a lot of other stuff has been sorted out, this may be revisited.
OC and UV are already a work in progress
GPU has about 5 governors included by default
TCP is already covered.

Here's my profile: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8-BnmYEYG0uUmgyNTVrVTY0TFU/view?usp=sharing
It's a battery saving profile. For gaming, you can set the CPU governor profile to "optimal", set the GPU governor to msm-adreno-tz and if needed increase the CPU Max frequency
CPU Voltages credits to @RJDTWO
Best governor to me is actually conservative. I can maintain performance and get a fluid experience (i dont game) on the UI. Every other governor i tried has micro stutters when scrolling. This one works very well, proably because it does not scale down too fast (which i assume its the cause for scrolling micro stutters). Tried lots of configs and settings on interctive and other governors, but conservative always gives me a more fluid UI
Currently using blu_active from @eng.stk without any lags or stutters.
There's so many to go thru be along time before find a best.
using inyeractive based govs for a while now. have to be tweaked properly though
