Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
*I've uploaded versions for 4.2.1 stock but hasn't been tested thoroughly yet. Please test and comment if it works for you.
**This section contains the STABLE kernels (i.e. tested to be stable for at least a day or two with no problems) for TEST kernels, proceed to the 3rd post.

Welcome! Nice to have another kernel.
New game for xmas... PokeKernel
got to try them all
Flashing it right now.. lets try 'stable' one first :good:
Just flashed the latest test kernel; all seems well so far and will let you know how it goes today. The only thing I tweaked is changing from cfq to bfq; do you recommended that or sticking with cfq or deadline IR?

I actually use BFQ more now since it seems to be more responsive for me as well. I can't recommend anything though since we all have different use cases for our phones. I'm thinking of adding ROW as well since Qualcomm since to have integrated it into their kernel version in CodeAurora and seems to be more focused on flash devices.

Not really. Can you point me to where I can see those? I don't know if it's ok though to integrate those since if I remember correctly, ClockworkMod didn't work properly when the driver was reverted to a previous version. I don't know if the same is applicable to a more updated version.
Yeah, I would add ROW for sure; mathkid has it on his kernel and it seemed to run really well.
p.s. kernel seems nice and smooth, but seemed to run pretty hot after awhile and burn battery a bit faster than I'm used to. Flashing back to Matr1x for now but will try the next version. I tried the experimental and the stable by the way.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Been using the latest experimental and its been running pretty smooth. Haven't had any issues and battery life has been decent. I like this kernel so far. Do you think you could add some of the patches Google released for interactive governor and fix the jump to 1024mhz when the screen is touched? That's only thing this is missing so we can get more battery life. I remember battery life was sh** on the nexus one and when I used your kernel it was a night and day difference.

I've been trying to find where the thing that actually forced the frequency jump is but hasn't figured it out so far. I haven't tried forcibly disabling the hooks between the touchscreen driver and the governor so maybe that will work but I don't like doing it that way. I'll look at the Google patches when I have time to look at it.

Forgot the multi quote thing... Anyways, is the getting hot thing during use or when idle? The only thing I can think of doing this is when you have an app running during idle OR while in use due to the touch frequency jump thing which I still can't find where in heaven it's being triggered.

I tested it out on sgt7 (cm10.1) and it was stuck at the max freq. Couldn't get it to scale down no matter what governor I chose or after rebooting. Went back to lean kernel and all is well again. Idk what happened?
Seems to be working so far for me....

OK, tested. But according to antutu is a little bit slower than motley one, but anyway I will keep testing for a couple days more.

Try with performance gov because I've optimized interactive gov to be less aggressive scaling at 1Ghz (hispeed_freq) for save more battery
Remember that a difference of 400~ points is normal from one test to another and if you just rebooted, wait that media scanner finish its work.
Very smooth and works perfectly on latest cm10.1! Found my favourite kernel

ondemand or interactive performance and conservative are those you can play with.
Others are always giving you problems. Other governors are more buzzwords than anything else.
At least it's my opinion...

Just my opinion, for me no need to them. I use interactive when gaming an conservative for other things.
And my battery is great and i always keep stability.
The only kernels i use are trinity and franco kernels because of that.
To much governors, schedulers, patch and mods always gives you stability problem.
I do not denigrate any kernel or kernel devs, i just love when it's clean lean and simple.

ERMAHGERD! KERNEL!
Build 13.02.22
Welcome to my latest learning project. This is a result of me wanting to better understand how kernels are put together. I'm dipping my toes a bit at first, but I'm going to be doing quite a few different things as time goes on, and it's only going to get more complex and I get more comfortable with the process. Successful things will stick around, unsuccessful or little used features may get squashed out over time to keep things as lean as possible.
Features:
Compiled with Linaro 13.01 toolchain and -O3 optimizations
Upstreamed to Linux 3.0.63
Undervoltable - Use SVS compatible CPU control app
Kernel mpdecision enhancements by showp1984
ARM optimized multi-core topology scheduler by the Linaro team
New I/O Schedulers:
ROW - Read Over Write - A new I/O scheduler designed from the ground up specifically for flash based mobile devices. It is designed to give priority to reads without starving writes, but does not implement any fairness. (default scheduler)
Zen - noop with a touch of deadline. Aims for simplicity. Implements deadlines for fairness and gives priority to synchronous requests. No merging or reordering of operations is performed.
SIO - Simple IO - Another mix of noop and deadline. Implements deadlines for fairness and performs minimal merging. No priority or reordering of operations are performed.
Fast charge support - Allows any charger to be seen as AC. Requires app to toggle fast charge mode
zRam (compcache) support with frontswap - Allows creation of swap space using a portion of compressed RAM, and uses free uncompressed RAM when possible to minimize I/O operations
New CPU Governors
Lionheart - A performance tuned variant of conservative
Intellidemand - Intelligent ondemand. Scales relative to GPU load
Wheatley - Governor with a great sleep profile. Perfect for users with lots of idle time
All drivers integrated into kernel
Single installer for ICS AOSP and JB pmem AOSP versions
Loads of memory and I/O optimizations for a smoother overall experience
See changelog history for even more features
To enable zRam after installation, go into a terminal and execute "zramenable" as root. It will activate immediately and reactivate on every boot. To disable it, run "zramdisable" as root. It will remove the boot scripts and immediately disable zRam and recover the RAM used. Note to ROM developers: if you include this kernel in your ROM, these files will need to be extracted from this installer and included in yours if you wish to include zRam support.
Fast charge support requires the use of a compatible fast charge toggle app, such as this or this.
Thanks go to:
Snuzzo: My kernel mentor, for pointing me in the right direction to get started, the great beginners tips, and for letting me use the installer.
con247: For the scripts used in the installer.

Old Changelogs
build 13.02.05
Built with Linaro 13.01
Implemented optimzied memcopy
Implemented optimized string functions
Implemented optimized R/W semaphore functions
Prevent aliased requests from starving other I/O
Asynchronous I/O optimizations
Various I/O and memory tweaks

Increased the RNG thresholds a bit
Addded frontswap support
Removed powersave governor
build 13.01.25
Compiled with Linaro 12.12 toolchain
Added SIO I/O scheduler
Removed CFQ I/O scheduler - CFQ is the worst possible option to use with flash storage, and removing it trims the size of the kernel down a little
build 13.01.23
Add new governors
Wheatley - sleeps very deeply. Great as a screen off governor
Intellidemand - Intelligent ondemand. Acts like ondemand under high GPU load, but more conservatively when under a low GPU load.
Add dynamic fsync control - Automatically disables fsync when screen is on, then flushes caches and resumes normal operation when screen turns off
Increase available bandwidth at lower clock speeds - Should increase responsiveness when underclocking or running a conservative style governor (such as lionheart)
Increase RNG (random number generator) thresholds - Provides the benefits of the entropy generation tweak without requiring a background service
Add JIT (just in time) compiler for packet filters - better network performance
CPU frequency scaling fixes - sometimes, the cpu would forget it's clock speeds
OOM driver updates
build 13.01.16
Added ROW I/O scheduler
Made ROW default I/O scheduler
Made Lionheart default CPU governor
Removed InteractiveX2 CPU governor
mpdecision update to slightly increase efficiency of idle_freq checks
build 13.01.14
mpdecision updates and fixes - Check out the MP-Decision tab in Android Tuner CPU Settings
idle_freq (Plug freq in Android Tuner) added
cpu1 stays offline unless cpu0 is over idle_freq
once online, cpu1 remains online until it is below idle_freq
Other mpdecision rules still honored (the new idle_freq rules do not force the cpu on or off unless it also meets other requirements)
User controllable voltage settings - use SVS comptible CPU control app (such as Android Tuner) to control
Color scheme updated in Aroma Installer. The first screen is now readable.
build 13.01.12
Added zRam swap support
To enable, run "zramenable" from a terminal as root
To disable, run "zramdisable" from a terminal as root
Added fast charge support
Single unified installer for all 3 kernels - one download for any AOSP
build 13.01.11
Initial release
Merged Linux kernel code to version 3.0.53
Integrated all drivers into kernel (eliminate external modules)
Added Lionheart governor
Added InteractiveX2 governor

Yup. All credits for this installer go to Snuzzo (for the Aroma configs) and con247 (for the scripts).
Quite welcome guys.
OP updated with build 13.01.12
build 13.01.12
Added zRam swap support
To enable, run "zramenable" from a terminal as root
To disable, run "zramdisable" from a terminal as root
Added fast charge support
Single unified installer for all 3 kernels - one download for any AOSP
What does zram swap do? Is that like virtual memory?
Vindicator Kernel
Supports F/I/S/K/L/T/W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
Intro:
This kernel was built to appeal to users who want something thats trimmed down as much as possible, yet still adds nice features that arent considered bloat. I spent a lot of time optimizing it and plan on spending several more hours just on optimizations. This kernel is also built with significant amounts of upstream code merged in, making it what many would deem a hybrid kernel. All credit goes to the real hard workers coming up with original ideas like Franco, Imoseyon, Ktoonsez, g.lewarne, etc. I hope you like it and I won't be offended if you hate it. All ideas are welcome and I'll try to help as best I can. If you wish to use this kernel in a rom , feel free! Although I would love it if you let me know just for my own curiosity.
Goal:Keep kernel as lean as possible while adding certain, desirable features, upstreaming source, and optimizing for maximum performance and battery life. The default settings should be optimal for a balance of battery and performance without a need to tweak.
Disclaimer:If your phone blows up, its not my fault. If your phone somehow gains perpetual battery life, I'll take full responsibility.

FAQ's
1. What Is VControl And How Do I Use It?:
VControl is a kernel tweaking "app" built into the ramdisk. It is accessed via terminal emulator. To use it simply download terminal emulator, Type "su" without quotes and hit enter. Grant terminal emulator super user permission and then type "VControl" without quotes. Please note that it is case sensitive. This will bring up a text menu and you navigate by simply entering the option number you want and hitting enter. It is currently a WIP. More will be added to VControl over time.
2. You Broke My Phone! Fix It!:
It will be quite hard for me to figure out what is going on if you don't provide details and a log of what happened. To get a log use any file manager with root support and navigate to proc/last_kmsg.
3. What Kernel Tweaking App Should I Use?:
To Tweak the kernel, currently the only apps that work well are Kernel adiutor and Kernel toolkit as well as synapse. You can also use VControl for a limited number of things. Synapse is now built into the kernel so simply install the app.
4. What Do Power Efficient Workqueues Do?:
Typically when a task is created, it is bound to the cpu it was created on. This is great for performance due to maintaining cache locality. However its not the best for battery life. Power efficient workqueues attempts to schedule tasks on already awake cpus. A quick note about awake and sleeping cpus. A sleeping cpu doesnt mean the cpu is turned off or not hotplugged, nor does this mean it has to be deep sleeping. A core can be online and still be sleeping which means it uses very little power. This is why we are able to run with all 8 cores on all the time. Most of the time the majority of the cpus are sleeping. With power efficient workqueues, jobs will attempt to schedule on awake cpus which means we dont have to wake up the cpus that are sleeping already. This means we lose cache locality so we suffer a small (very small) performance hit but we potentially save noticeable amounts of battery. Enable for battery, disable if you plan on benchmarking or just want the extra power. They are off by default.
5. What Is Strict Aliasing And Why Should I Care?:
One of the big things Linaro does with improving Android's performance is fixing violations of what's known as "the strict aliasing rule." A pointer is said to alias another pointer when they both refer to the same location of memory. This is OK and not an uncommon thing to do. The strict aliasing rule is that pointers of different types should never refer to the same location of memory (aka alias each other). Strict aliasing allows a compiler to make some assumptions when compiling and optimizing code that it otherwise couldn't. It's actually one of the biggest optimizations you can do and it is fairly hard to add which is why most people don't. Here's a nice read up on it http://cellperformance.beyond3d.com/articles/2006/06/understanding-strict-aliasing.html#benefits
6. What does Small CPU Task Packing Mean?:
Task packing Is a process done by the scheduler. What it tries to do is pack all tasks onto as few cores as possible. In this case, it only packs tasks for the low power(small) cores as we want to maintain maximum performance and spread the load out on the bigger cores. The advantage of packing tasks is that if we envision a scenario where there is a 40% load and that gets spread out across the 4 small CPUs at 10% load each all 4 small CPUs are awake and running at a low frequency. With task packing all 40% would be shoved onto 1 core and the other 3 would sleep. This provides energy savings. However there becomes a point where the frequency required to process the extra tasks becomes high enough that it would use less power to run two cores at half the speed rather than 1 core at a very high speed. In this scenario the scheduler will automatically let tasks spill over onto adjacent CPUs in order to maximize power efficiency. One down side to this is a small performance hit due to having to pull the other cores out of a sleep state in the event of needing immediate power. However I would guess most people couldn't notice a difference.
7. What is power aware scheduling?:
Power aware scheduling is a method of scheduling where we make the scheduler aware of the actual efficiency of the cores. As you know, the small cores are more efficient than the big cores. The existing method for scheduling work uses a more basic (if the load is above this point, then move it to the big cores) type of decision making. With power aware scheduling, the scheduler will schedule tasks based on its knowledge of the cores power efficiency. Typically this reduces performance, though it's likely not noticeable except for in some games. If you want more battery, enable this. If you want more performance or have lag in games disable.
More will be added as they come up and I think of them.

I personally use VControl to set my min freq to 200 for both, then I oc to 1600 on Apollo and 2200 on atlas. I then also disable fsync. That's it hope you like it! Let me know if you have any issues!
great job with another kernel!
I enabled CPU task packing, but when I check the current settings, it says "/sbin/VControl(239): cat: /sys/kernel/hmp/packing_enable: No such file or directory"

Thanks! Yea I had task packing enabled in a previous test but removed it prior to release. I decided to leave it in VControl in case I re add it. So just ignore it for now I'll probably remove it in r2

Kernel adiutor doesn't work for IO Scheduler. I recommend trying an app called Kernel toolkit. I'll probably add IO schedulers to VControl in the next update. Also there aren't tons of options on it atm. Mostly because its tweaked to run well on interactive governor, however I'll likely add conservative and ondemand in r2 as well.

The problem with kts governor is it would require merging a lot of other stuff that I don't need in order to make it work :/ however smartass is standalone. Is there other kernels for s6 that have it? If so it would be an easy addition most likely

You're welcome.
The default configuration (Interactive + Zen) is good.
OK it's only been a few hours but battery already looks better with this kernel. I'm using lionfish + fiops. Good stuff.

Since flashing this kernel, I have no call function. Keeps ending milliseconds after calling.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my XT1562 using fingers
EDIT: fine now. Had to adjust APN settings
So while the kernel seems to boost battery life with the right governor, it also seems to cause the phone to freeze up randomly and eventually reboot, at least with the 10/09 build of the AOSP Nougat ROM. It happened a few times after the screen had gone to sleep and it just wouldn't come on again. I only tried 2 governors - lionfish and bluactive - so I have no idea whether it's the governors or the kernel.

Well the whole point - for me - of installing the kernel was to try goverors other than interactive That said, I did give Interactive a try, and I got a reboot. But I was suspecting the problem might be the Instagram app, which I installed right after flashing the kernel the first time. Sure enough, removing Instagram has gotten rid of the problems with all the governors I have tried - no more reboots or freeze-ups.
To be honest Instagram might even cause problems with AOSP 7 even without this kernel, I have to admit I haven't tested that (though I don't think so). In any case, beware the Instagram app...

I spoke too soon. Another reboot with Interactive, but without Instagram - so it's not that. Suspect it's Greenify actually, I had it in Shallow Hibernation (forgot, thought I had turned it off). Would be consistent with the issues I had with bluactive and lionfish, and the issues reported above.
