RIN Kernel for D855/P/K | F400/K/S/L | D852
Close to stock with some sugar added ... delicous!
Hey guys and girls,
you may have seen my unified stock kernel thread already (or may not, but doesn't matter). This kernel is my attempt to build up on the fixed source and add some additional features for us mod lovers to thinker with and to personalize your device to your usage. For now, I'll keep it close to my stock source and just pull some additional features and fixes in, but not to much. That may change in the future (maybe even soon), but for now, I'll stick to that paradigm.
First of, DISCLAIMER, I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead unicorns, rainbows with missing colors, world war, nose bleed, void warranty (you know that already, don't you? your warranty is void now and it's your fault ) or any other harm happening to your device, you or people around you!

How to boot unbumped kernels?
Only needed for the img files prior version 1.7
Plugin your device to the PC
Open a terminal and execute
Code:
adb shell # open a shell over adb
su # change to superuser
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img # backup the stock download mode to your external sd
exit # exit the superuser shell
exit # exit the adb shell
adb pull /storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img . # backup the download mode image from you external sd to the PC
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf # remove the stock download mode
BEWARE, THIS WILL REMOVE YOUR DOWNLOAD MODE!!! YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FLASH KDZ FILES BEFORE YOU RESTORED IT!!!!
Turn off the device completely, plug in the USB-cable, if you pulled it out and start the device by holding vol up + power till you see some white text on the screen, fastboot should be written somewhere on the screen, afterwards execute the following command on the PC (while in the directory you've downloaded the kernel image to).
D855:
Code:
fastboot boot D855-rin-1.6.img # boot the kernel
F400:
Code:
fastboot boot F400-rin-1.6.img # boot the kernel
BEWARE, NEVER USE FLASH AT FASTBOOT ONLY BOOT, IT WILL TRIGGER SECURITY OF THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BOOT ANYMORE!!!!
You're done now and booted to the custom kernel!
How to make sure you're running the kernel?
To check if you properly booted into the kernel execute this in the command line (terminal emulater or through adb shell):
Code:
cat /proc/version
it should show
Code:
Linux version 3.4.0-rin-g58903a9-dirty ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.1 20140710 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1+bzr2673 - Linaro GCC 2014.07 - Cortex-A15) ) #53 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 13:26:42 CEST 2014
Once more a warning READ IT!!:
BEWARE, when you reboot you'll boot to the stock kernel, you'll have to boot the custom kernel over fastboot every time, when you boot normally, you'll be on the stock kernel, this won't lead to issues, but you'll miss the benefits of this kernel, I know that's not optimal, but the best we can get with the locked bootloader.
How to restore Download mode?
Code:
adb shell # open a shell over adb
su # change to superuser
dd if=/storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf # restore the stock download mode from the backup on your external sd

sweet thanks buddy
any chance of this working on the 851
I'd just like to say.. congrats for being the first in the OG Dev section! Bugged me not seeing anything here.
Congratulations for the First Custom Kernel for LG G3...
I wish LG G3 can use LOKI like G2
too bad we still can't boot custom kernel every reboot
btw Smooth Works you got here
awesome bro, just awesome
Good job,bravo

Sure, just go to D851 original development section, download the zip of rin, extract the boot image and do the steps described here, just replace the image name to boot, but I'd recommend simply flashing the zip

Unfortunately not yet, the bootloader has to be more or less tricked to be able to boot the kernel.

ok I understand (hope that this bootloader unlocked will come soon). so just other questions please :
- onDemand works well with your kernel ?
- is there any other usable governor for gpu ?
I think I'm gonna try to install adb and fastboot at work if I have a reboot or something like that.
thank you for your hard work for such a locked phone....

This modules are for people with stock kernels because they don't have 'smartass' or ondemandX' governors.
EASY ENGLISH:
Differences between this modules and build in stock kernels:
- allows to set max CPU freq when screen is off (to save battery),
- allows to set starting CPU freq when phone awakes (to speed up awake process),
- allows set/change almost all aspects of governor (to suite needs),
- should be a bit more responsive when parameters are well chosen for smartassv2 governor.
Each governor has some predefinied values - more info in "Available settings".
If governors works or not on other version then 4.0.2.A.0.42 let me know.
Start:
The goal was bring 'smartassv2' and 'ondemandX' governor to work with stock kernel on Neo V.
Most information is in my thread on 'XPERIA X8 Android Development': [Module] | X8 | X10 mini/pro | AX8_SMARTASS v002 | 'smartass' governor | [2011-07-19]
To remind:
SmartassV2 (informal description and comparison with the first smartass)
SmartassV2 is a governor (controls the frequency of the CPU at each give moment) which like the first smartass is generally based on the implementation of interactive with some major changes and the addition of a built in sleep profile (behaves a bit differently when screen is off vs. on).
The smartassV2 improves the very naive scheme which the first smartass had: The first smartass (with the values I set for the hero), would cap the max frequency at 352Mhz for sleep and when screen is on, would do the opposite and keep the frequency at 518Mhz or above. For sleep this was very effective but a bit crude and unclean, and there could be some cases where you would need processing power even when screen is off (something is updating and music is playing and etc.). For screen on, smartass1 was too quick to jump to the max available frequency and again would never go below the 518Mhz, so in a nutshell its was using "too high" frequencies.
SmartassV2, introduce (internally) an "ideal" frequency which is the frequency we are "aiming" for, in some sense. The way I see it is that the "ideal" frequency is a hint to the governor what is a good balance between performance and battery life. Now when screen is on, I set (on the hero) the ideal frequency to 518Mhz which will ensure nice responsiveness but limit unnecessary use of higher frequencies when they are not needed. When screen is off, I set the ideal frequency to 352Mhz (0 will disable the screen state tracking all together). From my testing this will "convince" the governor to spend most of the its time during sleep at the lowest available frequencies. Note, that both during sleep and when awake the entire frequency range (as defined by the "user" - i.e. selected with SetCPU) is used by smartassV2. For example, when the CPU is loaded heavily, the highest available frequency will be used regardless if screen is on or off.

Info:
- information about governors is here,
- more information about 'smartass' governor is here or here,
- how different governors work is explained here: [Q] SetCPU governors (explained).
Prerequisites:
- Neo V (if works on Neo - let me know),
- root,
- ondemandX should work on any version,
- smartass was compiled against 4.0.2.A.0.42 version, how run on other version will be explained in manuall installation section,
- desire to replace SetCPU - when used only for 'ScreenOff' profile.
Manual installation:
Unzip file
Run copy.cmd file - this should copy modules to /system/lib/modules
run adb shell or terminal - whatever you like and execute su
Code:
su
If you have 4.0.2.A.0.42 version proceed to step 6
For smartass governor you need to know address for 'kallsyms_lookup_name'
run following command:
Code:
cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kallsyms_lookup_name
result should be as follows:
Code:
80101aec T module_kallsyms_lookup_name
[SIZE="3"][B]801056f0[/B][/SIZE] T kallsyms_lookup_name
Bolded value (801056f0) is address which we need.
Optional step: lower min CPU freq:
Code:
echo 122880 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Insert ondemandX module:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/aneov_ondemandx.ko
in dmesg command should be line:
Code:
<6>[ 431.711517] aneov_ondemandX: module v001 for device Xperia Neo V loaded
Insert smartassV2 module:
for version 4.0.2.A.0.42 just run command:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/aneov_smartass2.ko
in dmesg command should be line:
Code:
<6>[ 420.308380] aneov_smartass2: module v001 for device Xperia Neo V loaded
for other use 'address' and use following command:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/aneov_smartass2.ko lookup_address=0x[B][COLOR="Red"]801056f0[/COLOR][/B]
in dmesg command should be line:
Code:
<6>[ 420.308380] aneov_smartass2: module v001 for device Xperia Neo V loaded
Now you can enable desired governor. Execute:
Code:
echo "smartassV2" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
for smartassV2 or
Code:
echo "ondemandX" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
for ondemandX governor.
Lower min cpu freq a bit:
Code:
echo 122880 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Until you're sure that it works with your hardware, don't install it to hw_config.sh.
Available settings:
Will be added later
v001:
- just initial version fixed to work with Neo V.

Thank you!
On .62 firmware, I didn't have to specify lookup_address, since it didn't recognise that option, but it seems to work.
Also a good full article about governors:

is there any chance to get this as a zip for cwm?
edit:yay! just put it manually into system/lib/modules and changed permissions and it works!

Could you also build an OC module please, that would be awesome.

thread dead for more than 2 months...
Zed's dead. but no matter
OK- so I'm planning on installing the module on a different device. with the assumption that the smartassv2.ko drivers are all the same, i figure that only the specifics differ.
e.g. no /sys/lib folder exists in my system, though a /sys/modules folder does.
So, the plan is: i edit the script to point towards the valid directories; place the files in those noted directories (eg create a /sys/lib/modules folder); edit the "scanning_available_governors" to mention those governors; kick back and enjoy.
two things concern me. First, I checked the symsearch.ko file found references to the kallsyms, as well as to the general public license and ARMv7, but haven't found much info online as to what the driver does. since it mentions architecture that may or may not adhere to my device (samsung galaxy player 5),should I go ahead?
Second, OP mentioned:
"result should be as follows:
Code:
80101aec T module_kallsyms_lookup_name
801056f0 T kallsyms_lookup_name
Bolded value (801056f0) is address which we need."
the instructions following that line doesn't mention the kallsyms_lookup_name addy again. so what is the addy good for?
thanks!
Wow IT REALLY WORKED.
i have smartass V2 on My locked bootloader .
Thank you.
(Yes i know i am a gravedigger but more people have to see this.)
Just everyday i find one more reason for not to unlock my BL.
I have the best governor
Best tweaks.
OC is useless (it consumes battery and Destroyes the phone).
WHY THE HECK WOULD I WANT A CUSTOM ROM.
EDIT: Erm guys how do i install it with hw_config.sh
It may be a silly question, but after reading descriptions to both the badass and the smartass v2 governors, but I'm still not quite sure which one will provide better battery life overall.
SmartassV2 is the answer ;P

"67.42.17.XT910S.SKT.en.KR" is our Razr(Korea Razr).
is that kernel source has been opened?
Thanks for your work!
I'll try to test on my razr.

good work
I've created an installer that includes support for automatic load init.d modules so they can select with SetCPU or other similar program....

1. User install my module pack. (extra_kernel_modules_*.zip)
2. User install init.d loader. (init.d_n_governor_installer.zip

I tried to use your flashable zip. It doesn't work, but I found that after I chmod 777 the 90module in the init.d folder it works flawlessly. So I think you need to add that set permissions to your script.
*edited for grammar issues. It was bugging me that my You're and Your was wrong.
Fix....
I don't think the ntfs.ko is working right. I just formatted an sd card with ntfs to test it out after loading the module and it pulls it as a blank sdcard.
Will this work on an XT910? Is the kernel source any different from the 67.42.17.XT910S.SKT.en.KR?

don't blame the ntfs.ko, it's MotoBlur problem.(vold limitation)
You have to mount your NTFS partition manually.

Yeah, I realized that after I commented and was playing around some more. Motoblur is the one throwing the blank sd card issue, not the system itself.
So I think it's time to go back to playing. I'm loving the new governor.
does anyone have an init.d script they could throw up to run one of these on boot?

Q: How to load a cpufreq governor
I flashed the zips and have not been able to automatically pick the governor while in setcpu.
I loaded up terminal and did the commands you posted but those didnt work unless i substituted /system/lib for /system/bin. Doing that I can now select interactivex. I'd love for the init.d scripts to work so I dont have to fumble around with this every boot. My rom does have init.d support.
Is there a reason for the difference on my phone? I have a razr maxx and running the newest kernel from build 214 and on Arctic rom.
Thanks.

Thank you for this. I loaded both zips & init.d works perfectly for me on an OG Razr running the stock 211 rom/214 kernel combo. Everything is available to select & it all runs at boot. System Tuner Pro is what I use to select the governor/scheduler settings.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the modules! They work perfectly. I was wondering if its possible for you to write a script/module that would support editing vsel values for undervolting the cpu. Would be really helpful in extending battery life.

Custom Bootanimation:
* Put the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with right permissions.
* If there isn't any custom bootanimation, kernel will load Samsung official bootanimation.
CIFS support
i put cifs.ko in "/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/fs/cifs"
not be loaded by default for power saving
zRam:
* zRAM must be enabled by script/command.
* put this script in init.d
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# enable zRAM script
# zRAM Swap Disk Size: 64MB(64*1024*1024)
disksize=67108864;
# Set Size to system
echo $disksize > /sys/block/zram0/disksize;
# Enable Swap (Need BusyBox installed)
busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0;
busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0;
SWAP:
*SWAP must use with a SWAP partition in sdcard.
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

enable = 1, disable = 0 (default enabled)
example init.d script :
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "0" > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
Disabling single file/filesystem sync increases the risk of a data loss on a crash/freeze and potentially can lead to other side-effects.

i flash kyriloss rom, i flash my old kernel (twrp 2.3.1.1), and then i restore my data.
after that I flash my new kernel (twrp 2.2.1) and i dont have any problem.
i use Odin3 v3.04 to flash my kernel via odin
try to use dd cmd (dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15)

TODO:
1.Update to latest kernel version
2.Add/Remove governor
4.Fsync control
5.Add more TCP congestions
3.More features
HOW TO:
Here are some intructions/tips about how to play with the kernel.
Terminal is needed.
If you want to change the values,it needs su permission.
If you get 'Permisson denied',you need su permisson.
If the devices lost responses,hold power button 8s to reboot.
You can cd to the folder first,then do echos.
( CPU Freqs )
With DVFS,we cannot tweak min/max scale freqs via apps like SetCPU or nofrill.
but there are two ways you can change cpu freq:
by using this app
[APP][ROOT][4.0+] Performance Control - Open Source
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
by using terminal
cd /sys/power
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For example: set 800Mhz as max limited
echo 800000 > cpufreq_max_limit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* When you switch on/off,power saving mode,this tweak will be overrided.
* If you want it to be permanet edit 05exp file in init.d.
No-fills CPU shows a wrong freqs
This is NOT issue. No-fills will show you Dynamic Min/Max scaling freqs,DVFS(dynamic voltage and frequency system) will adjust Min/Max freq according to system load.
Open SetCPU,it shows you real freqs.Or check sysfs directly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ABBamp Audio
Please note that listening to too high volume music over 1 hour or more can damage your ears.
Too high volume can make your external speakers/headset overload or damage them.
First, why do i call it `AMP`?
Because most of our tweaks are about gain(volume)
Our codec is simple, It doesn't have any hardware EQ (although i want...)
ABBamp sysfs entries are in:
Quote:
/sys/kernel/abbamp
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Use RootExplorer to view this folder,there are lots files
Tweaks will take effects immediately!
Most tweaks will accept inputs like "on", "off" (no quotes)...
So, say "on" to enable this tweak, then this tweak will apply the value stored/inputed
View(cat) these files, most of them will give you useful infomation about this tweak.
They will show you the volume in dB of gain
`cd` to /sys/kernel/abbamp first then do echos, will be more convenient.
[AnaGain3] (Headset analog gain path):
Enable tweaks:
echo on > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disable tweaks:
echo off > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gain control: (min:0 ,max: 15) Lower value,higher volume (default: 0[+4dB])
echo left=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
echo right=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Write both left and right channels:
echo gain=?? > /sys/kernel/abbamp/anagain3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not Killable Processes
This feature allows to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
[APP][ROOT][4.0+] Performance Control - Open Source
Logcat
I have made android logger(logcat) as module to free more RAM.
Create a new init.d script:
Quote:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/logger.ko
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then you can use logcat command.
EGL Driver

Edit /system/lib/egl.cfg

0 0 mali
Click to expand...

Init.d script
Please install busybox in system first
I recommend you install busybox via apps
Create a new folder named 'init.d' in /system/etc
Set the permisson of init.d foler to 0777(rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Set the owner to 0.0 (root root)
Put some scripts (any name you like) in init.d folder with permisson 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) (at least has read and exec permission)
Scripts with right permisson will be runned when system boots.
zRAM/SWAP
zRAM is optimized for Android. It is not lazy anymore.
Using zRAM will take a little CPU, because it needs to compress/decompress memory.
Recommended compressing about 18% of RAM, about 100 mb.
Setup disksize first: (example: 96mb= 96×1024×1024)
echo 100663296 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Larger size more RAM will be compressed.
* Too large size might make phone lag
To enable:
Code:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
To check how many does it use:
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_reads
cat /sys/block/zram0/num_writes
cat /proc/meminfo | grep swap
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* We can get other info in its sysfs
[SWAP]
1. Format/resize external SDCard via computer first.
Enable:
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Using a FILE as swap RAM: (Create a continuity file first)
su
cd /cache
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=81920
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then we will have an 80mb swap RAM.
Last_dmesg

UKSM
UKSM is more advanced than KSM algorithm which is developed by Chinese.
UKSM is faster 20x than KSM, and it has been disabled by default.
Here is a document about HOW-TO use UKSM in its WebSite.

I see in your changelog you've changed RAM amount, AFAIK our GPU uses 120 MB of RAM. I wonder if it would be worth it to downgrade RAM amount for GPU to like 100? Or even 80 MB of RAM, so our system would have more, like 400 MB.

I have tried allocating 400MB to system and it worked but hd video playback doesn't work and games start to fc.so I set it to 390MB which is stable and doesn't have side effect.

Yes its working pretty good..
The games seem more responsive dnt knw why maybe a placebo effect..
But I guess u will have to work on it to tweak for gaming..
Hve tested it for hardly some time so cant say abt battery..
But this kernel looks really promising..
Keep up the development..
Good work..
Sent from my ST25i
this kernel is for stock right? because i'm getting bootloop on cm10
Wow any screen of ram(poxible totally free)

Changelog
(old changelog)
R2.10
Build from R2.6 sources with re-added all changes in LiveOPP, cpufreq_limits module, some interfaces from 2.9.x (usb sw reset, PonKey emulator on voldown/up).
R2.9
Mali OC module v2.0:
added interfaces boost_hispeed1, boost_hispeed2.
added interfaces mali_threshold_freq_down and mali_threshold_freq_up
(new interfaces manual)
1) mali_threshold_freq_down/up:
echo new value to tweak it:
Code:
echo 150 > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_threshold_freq_up
2) mali_boost_hispeed(2)
Use command
Code:
echo idx=X > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_hispeed2
to tweak its freq.
following command is to tweak its threshold:
Code:
echo threshold=220 > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_boost_hispeed2
partially re-enabled touchboost (it actually was enabled even on 2.7.4, but I forgot to mention)
reverted suspend/hibernate/freezer etc. commits to hopefully fix reboots issue in deepsleep
fixed APE_25_OPP (in suspend it actually used APE50 previously)
minor fixes in cpufreq_limits driver
R2.8
Mali OC module v2.0(detailed description in 3rd post):
added interfaces boost_hispeed1, boost_hispeed2.
added interfaces mali_threshold_freq_down and mali_threshold_freq_up
partially re-enabled touchboost (it actually was enabled even on 2.7.4, but I forgot to mention)
reverted suspend/hibernate/freezer etc. commits to hopefully fix reboots issue in deepsleep
fixed APE_25_OPP (in suspend it actually used APE50 previously)
minor fixes in cpufreq_limits driver
(2.7.6)
- fixed broken GPU scaling algorithm (removed /sys/kernel/mali/mali_scaling_dynamic)
(2.7.5)
- partially reverted LiveOPP voltage autocalibration
- fixed unstable mali tunables and added interface mali_scaling_dynamic
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_scaling_dynamic
When mali_scaling_dynamic is used, mali will scale between mali_boost_low and mali_boost_high using all steps between these mentioned. mali_stats provides statistics about mali utilization on each step.
- removed some GPU freq steps
(2.7.4)
- new governor Dynamic (thanks to mkaluza)
- new GPU scaling algorithm (thanks to 1N4148 ) - ondemand-like GPU governor
- LiveOPP: reworked avs-based varm recalibration algorithm
(2.7.3)
added governor OndemandPlus (thanks to boype)
removed governors with hotplugging support
added interface to tweak PLLDDR freq on suspend:
Code:
echo on > /sys/kernel/cpufreq/pllddr_raw
To control freq are used raw PLLDDR register values:
Code:
echo suspend=0x000050158 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq/pllddr_raw # 675 MHz
Code:
echo resume=0x000050168 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq/pllddr_raw # 798 MHz
PLLDDR freq can be checked via
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/liveopp/pllddr
Settings applies after 3 sec after suspend/resume.
Too low suspend or too high resume value may cause reboot. Please note that this setting still experimental and unstable itself, so it's disabled by default.
adjusted some GPU OC defaults
fixed BT issues
(2.7.2)
- fixed pllddr_cross_clocks instability
- removed unneeded DDR_50_OPP requirement on screen on (should prolong battery lifetime).

Kernel Tweaks:
(GPU/CPU undervolting and related tweaks)
Undervolting the CPU/GPU will bring battery savings but possible instability.
1) to undervolt CPU use ChronoKernel app or via init.d scripts:
Code:
echo *cpufreq* varm=xx > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_summary
for example, following sets voltage varm=0x10 for 200 MHz:
Code:
echo 200000 varm=0x10 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_summary
or
Code:
echo 200000 varm-=10 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_summary
(default varm voltage for 200 MHz is 0x1a but, code above sets 0x1a - 0xa(10) = 0x10 )
2) to undervolt GPU use init.d script:
Code:
echo x vape=yy > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_dvfs_config
Example:
Code:
echo 2 vape=0x1c > /sys/kernel/mali/mali_dvfs_config
"2" stands for DVFS idx (look at mali_boost_high/mali_boost_low).
To prevent overriding of such settings by ChronoKernel app, add line to your init.d script after GPU undervolting
Code:
chmod 444 /sys/kernel/mali/mali_dvfs_config
Don't change voltage of both GPU/CPU at the same time - otherwise if you'll get reboot if won't know what it caused. The same is for different frequencies - if you'll change voltage of too many steps you won't know which frequency caused reboot. It's not easy process, though, following method simplifies it: https://github.com/mkaluza/i9070_kernel_CoCore-E/wiki/Undervolting-janice .
3) Custom LiveOPP table.
By default some LiveOPP steps such as 100, 200, 500 ... MHz aren't used. You can re-enable those by following way:
Code:
echo 200000 enable=1 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_summary
Or use CK app instead. Don't enable it unless it uses the same voltage as 400 MHz. The same is for the rest frequencies - until some of them uses same voltage, no point to enable steps with lower freq. I've added 100 MHz just to further make some tests with it once again. It can't use lower varm than 200 MHz - that's why it's disabled by default. Furthermore, not all phones well keep undervoltage, that's why 100-400 MHz steps uses same stock voltage varm=0x1a.
UPD. thanks to @borkins for this nice editor LiveOPP ARM steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60311291&postcount=2921
(CPU freq management tweaks)
CPU freq. limiter for screen OFF, adjust it via:
Code:
SYSFS=/sys/kernel/cpufreq/cpufreq_limits_on_suspend
echo min=100000 > $SYSFS
echo max=400000 > $SYSFS
echo on > $SYSFS
Too low frequency may cause freezes after wakeup and sound scrathes. If you use Dynamic govermor, it make no sense to use cpufreq limiter, because Dynamic already takes care about CPUfreq usage optimization. For more, read wiki.
Input boost
This feature has been originally written by zwliew.
Not all governors support input boost. Supported governors: ondemand, interactive, conservative, ZenX, lionheart and some others. Dynamic governor has its own boost interface.
Default boost frequency is 400 MHz.
Code:
echo 450000 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq/input_boost_freq # echo '0' to disable
echo 35 /sys/kernel/cpufreq/input_boost_ms
(BackLight Notification)
To configure time intervals of BLN blinking type(bln_ondelay stands for time of blink and bln_offdelay - delay between two blinks):
Code:
echo bln_ondelay=500 > /sys/kernel/bln/blink_mode
echo bln_offdelay=6000 > /sys/kernel/bln/blink_mode
Make sure BLN enabled:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/backlightnotification/enabled
# to enable bln_wakelock.
echo on > /sys/kernel/bln/bln_wakelock
Use /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/blink_mode to changes modes.
Blink modes:
0 = no blinking
1 = blink backlight only
2 = blink backlight + rear cam flash
3 = blink rear cam flash only
(Module autoload)
Now there is a simple way to load modules at boot. Just move needed modules to /system/lib/modules/autoload and reboot device(or execute /etc/init.d/00autoload)
(DDR overclock)
This feature has been developed by me and allows you to improve DDR and GPU performance. Please note, that DDR OC might work unstable and cause filesystem corruption. Though, DDR clock of 975 MHz has been highly tested and should work fairly stable on most devices.
Overclocking DDR over 975 MHz is highly NOT recommended, especially in case if you not sure that you can deal with possible consequences.
How to OC DDR:
1) by using
this script .
2) by using Terminal Emulator(in example below 975 MHz):
Code:
echo 0x5017f > /sys/kernel/liveopp/pllddr_oc_on_suspend
This setting will be applied right after disabling screen.
(Minimum APE/DDR OPP on screen on)
This feature has been developed by me and allows to set minimum APE/DDR OPP states which are used when screen is ON. APE controls many systems such as an image, video, audio system etc. DDR OPP determines performance of DDR. Default values are APE50 and DDR50. Lower states(APE25/DDR25) reduces power consumption, but may cause graphical glitches like screen blinking or filling it by vertical grey lines. If you don't have mentioned effects, it's recommended to use APE25/DDR25:
Code:
echo ddropp=25 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_screenon_opp
echo apeopp=25 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_screenon_opp
* if you don't have folder /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0, use /sys/devices/pri_lcd_s6d27a1 instead.
(Screen refresh rate)
This feature has been developed by cocafe and modified by me. Lower lcdclk frequency cause less power usage, but too low values makes system unusable.
Following command allows to change screen refresh rate:
Code:
echo x > /sys/kernel/mcde/lcdclk
use
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/mcde/lcdclk
to see supported lcdclk modes. Default mode is 60 Hz which is recommended in most typical cases. If you've screen tearings, blinking etc. change resresh rate mode to "60+ Hz":
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mcde/lcdclk
(ABB charger tweaks)
added tweakable interfaces for termination current. To adjust it type(just an example):
Code:
echo 90 > /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/termination_curr_1st
echo 70 > /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/termination_curr_2nd
curr_2nd should be less or same as curr_1st. Lower values prolongs battery lifetime, but also slows battery charging.
Default values are curr_1st == curr_2nd == 150 mA. Please note, too low values maybe aren't usable.
(Dynamic FSync)
This feature has been developed by Faux123 and allows to dynamically manage the synchronous writes performed on file system (FSync).
It uses asynchronous writes when the screen is on, instead of synchronous writes, to have better performance and a slightly lower battery drain, while when the screen is off the synchronous writes are re-enabled to flush all the outstanding writes and prevent possible data loss.
How to enable/disable the Dynamic FSync (default enabled):
1) By downloading and using Trickster MOD
2) By directly editing the file /sys/kernel/dyn_fsync/Dyn_fsync_active and setting 1 to enable the dynamic fsync, 0 to disable it (note that set value will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
3) By using Terminal Emulator (note that set value will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
- Open Terminal Emulator
- Run this command to disable the dynamic fsync feature
Code:
su
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dyn_fsync/Dyn_fsync_active
- Or run this command to re-enable the dynamic fsync feature
Code:
su
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/dyn_fsync/Dyn_fsync_active

(Software CRCs)
Disabling software CRCs gives you a slight bump(10-30% is what they say) of MMC performance, at the cost of a possibility of your Ace 2 freezing randomly.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/mmc_core/parameters/use_spi_crc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Dynamic dirty page writebacks)
This feature has been developed by Christopher83 and allows to dynamically manage the dirty page writebacks with two different intervals, one when the screen is on and another when the screen is off.
It is based on a commit of Francisco Franco, but instead of using hard coded values and of disabling at all the dirty page writebacks while the screen is on (possibility of data loss).
By using a higher interval we have better performance and less battery consumption, with a very low risk of data loss.
How to customize the dynamic dirty page writebacks feature (default disabled):
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on), the default value is 1500 centisecs (15 seconds)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off), the default value is 500 centisecs (5 seconds)
1) By directly editing one of the file written above inside /proc/sys/vm and setting the preferred value (note that set value will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
2) By using Terminal Emulator (note that set value will be lost after a reboot/shutdown)
- Open Terminal Emulator
- Run this command to disable the dynamic dirty page writebacks feature
Code:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dynamic_dirty_writeback
- Or run this command to re-enable the dynamic dirty page writebacks feature
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/dynamic_dirty_writeback
- Run this command to set customize the two intervals (30 seconds while the screen is on, 10 seconds when the screen is off)
Code:
echo "3000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_active_centisecs
echo "1000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs
(Storages switch)
By default, this kernel comes with internal and external storages switched. You can revert this behavior, by changing the line
Code:
use_swap=1
to
Code:
use_swap=0
in file /ramdisk/fstab_specs.txt and flashing the kernel package. This setting will remain until you format /ramdisk partition.

How to install kernel with F2FS support:
For those who don't know what F2FS is, check these links out:
General info
Benchmarks
Warnings
1. Make sure you have a standard kernel for backup that uses ext4 just in case. If anything goes wrong, just install the backup kernel and reboot to recovery.
2. You will have to wipe your /data and /cache partitions for this. Basically factory reset.
3. For 2, you could try to backup data and restore after formatting. I haven't tried this but I could work.

Installation method of kernels with full F2FS support:
Before installation make sure that you have at least ~25% free space on each partition that will be formatted to F2FS.
for CWM:
make backup
format /system partition to F2FS (and also /data and /cache if you didn't do it before)
restore /system partition
for TWRP
disable md5 generation
make backup of /system
find backup folder, run terminal and rename file system.ext4.win to system.f2fs.win (it won't work via filemanager)
Code:
mv system.ext4.win system.f2fs.win
format /system as f2fs
restore backup
Then install kernel.
To install kernel on ROM that isn't supported by installer:
(supported ROMs):
Stock ROM 4.1.2
CyanogenMod 10.1*
CyanogenMod 10.2*
CyanogenMod 11*
CyanogenMod 12
* most ROMs that based on this ROM are also supported. Despite of that some ROMs are supported, they can work incorrectly due to difference in their initramfs scripts(ramdisk).
1. Install needed ROM first,
2. Type following command in terminal emulator:
Code:
cd /
find . -xdev | cpio -o -Hnewc | gzip -9 > /sdcard/x.y.z.cpio.gz
where x.y.z is OS version (for example - CM11-based ROM - 4.4.4.cpio.gz)
3. put this file in installer at osfiles/x.y.z/ (e.g. osfiles/4.4.4/4.4.4.cpio.gz)
4. install kernel
To install a new ROM that is not F2FS compatible:
Use EXT4 to F2FS converter script
or edit the updater-script as follows
(manual method)
1. Replace strings
"mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");"
with string
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
2. Replace string
"format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0", "/system");"
with string
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");"
3. Add string
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");"
after strings
"run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");"
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
4. Add string
"unmount("/data");"
before string
unmount("/system");

do NOT use swapiness more than 30, bigger values can bog machine down!
small advice:
Code:

#chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d
chown root:root /proc/sys/vm;
echo "30" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

echo "1" > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
busybox sysctl -w kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold=256;
busybox sysctl -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=1376;
and
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 0644 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
echo "0,3,6,10,12,15" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj;
chmod 0644 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
echo "1024,2048,2560,4096,6144,8192" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree;
chmod 0644 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/debug_level
echo "0" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/debug_level;
works miracles in my case, especially second one, imho it would be hard to use different values, i was trying different setups for YEARS(with this machine), so it is not just random throw. Bigger LMK REALLY makes things worse here. It usually has tremendous influence over fluidity of gui, and whole sys.

This kernel based on stock CM kernel by TeamCanjica, and it's have same changes.
Damn, I was so excited to see a new kernel, but I noticed that it's actually for 4.1.2. I almost flashed it on a 4.4.3, not that it would have been such a tragedy.
Is there gonna be a version for the KitKat ROMs?

OK. I've got another question for you. Are you gonna add "lagfree" between the governors you already added, because that's probably one of the best governors a kernel can have ?
This is for stock samsung JB?
yes it is
Even if in the download section it says 4.4.2, I flashed the kernel on a Carbon 4.4.3 and it's working like a charm. The only thing that doesn't show up correctly is both frequency bars in "performance". It shows 0MHz max, 0MHz minimum, but if you set the minimum to 600MHz, for example, the frequency will run at 600 minimum, even if it shows 0.
five attempts and each time bootloop and recovery keys do not work.

It works normally for me. (ROM CM11 by TeamCanjica 4.4.2)

If you added "lagfree", you'd be the first on to do it, so it would obviously be amazing and it would make you a better developer than others, of course.
EDIT: About the frequency thing, for me it shows 0MHz probably because I've got kitkat 4.4.3. Everything else's working fine.

p.s. restore stock kernel first.
there is a new folder in sdcard0 : triggers and files in it ( Cpt log). what is it?

I have no idea what caused this problem. Because on stock kernel and CM kernel i did not have this problem. Try to remove this folder and create text file with same name.
Would love to see lag free if anyone could make possible

1. Compatible for aosp 4.4.4 or only for CM?
2. Whats is the different with custom kernel by zwliew?
