Voltages for now
Here's the stock voltages in case you need them​

One of those days. I'll get the mods to move this to the right place. Sorry

awesome! thanks engine!

OP updated with these install instructions!!! Sorry for another braincramp.
If you have SElinux Changer already installed:
You need to uninstall it first. Set it to "enforce" first. Then Settings>apps and clear "data" and "cache", Force stop then uninstall. Reboot. Then install the kernel.
Hopefully you made a backup first!
It may still work right, but just in case.

Just flashed. I seem to get random reboots anytime I change settings to anything other than the default settings.. I'm using trickster.. Maybe I'm doing something wrong because if I recall correctly, I use to have the same problem with Barrin anytime I flashed a kernel and messed with the settings... Thoughts?

I'm not sure what the issue would be. But if you had the same thing with BarRin, then maybe it's something with either or both SD's . Try pulling the ext SD and see if it happens. If nothing changes, then format int SD.
Did you have SeLinux changer installed. If so see the post above yours.
Other than that, Flashtool is my only other thought.
Also, MAKE SURE you don't set Trickster "on boot" until you're sure the settings work with your phone.

I'm doing this kernel in stages as I'm learning this. I don't want to put out a kernel that doesn't work.
Overclocking, voltage control, kexec patch, faux sound, readaheads, are all on my todo list for starters. And that's in no particular order.

Thanks, I'll look into it. It's something very very random and doesn't happen often...when it does, the screen freezes for a couple seconds and phone reboots...

Help?
So I am new at this kind of stuff so I have a couple qustions.
First when ever I try to change the CPU governer or GPU governer, after a bit the screen would freeze and the device would reboot. I am using the trickstermod. Am I doing something wrong?
Also when the device reboots, am I doing any harm or is there a safety trigger to prevent damage?
Thanks.

I know if its not in the OP its probably doesn't, but does this support multiboot?
Thanks for all your work none the less!

Post #9 lists the items he is trying to implement into the kernel. Multiboot is on that list. Also I don't know if it would matter until there is an updated multiboot twrp available for us to us.

Sweet!!!

Every phone is different. What works for one person, may not work for another.
The reboots/freezes means your phone doesn't like that combo. Try another. Just do not set it on boot until you know your phone can handle it.
Sometimes just changing the scheduler will make a governor work.

/me is going to install this right now.. I really cant imagine this phone running much better.. but here goes :highfive: :highfive:

WoW Engine
Hello Engine,
I am blown away by the amount of projects you take on. How the heck are you accomplishing all this development? When did you start dabbling with Roms and Kernels? I want to get in to development, but just wasn't sure where to begin. I would mainly like to start with basic romndevelopment, if there is such a thing as basic.
Lastly, I apologize for posting in this thread, but when I saw that you are doing kernels now I was just blown away
Thanks Engine for all you do. Your an amazing guy.

WELCOME TO ELITE KERNELS!
Our main goal behind building these kernels is to create a setup that gives a balance between performance and battery life without straying too far from stock. We like to have our cake and eat it too. Our kernels include performance, memory, and scheduling tweaks that enables your phone to come to the party when you are hammering down on it and need performance ASAP, and to go to sleep faster than a basset hound on a warm summer day. We put these kernels together mainly for our own use; so what we release is what we personally use. We hope you enjoy them too!

What is enabled by default? We like to control our kernels with a script run at boot for defaults, although any kernel app can control the built in settings. Here is what we set as default upon boot:
Sweep left 2 sleep
Doubletap 2 wake
CFQ IO scheduler with 1536 read ahead
If you want to change anything you can open up /system/elite/Elite.sh and save and execute (or use your favorite control app). Current method for N Preview has script in /system/su.d/Elite.sh

Recommendations for flashing:
1. If you have flashed another kernel, we suggest you get back the kernel that the ROM you were on came with before flashing Elite Kernel. Easiest way to do this is dirty flash the ROM again.
2. If you think you are getting a bug that is kernel related, please report all of your current setup. Including ROM(and version), any other kernels you've flashed, if you have dirty flashed a ROM update, and any other information we might need and also include a log if possible.
Got it

Tried flashing on the primary ROM. Multi ROM seems to be present.
Atleast secondary ones boot fine.
finally ! I saw that you were preparing this on the clean ROM thread
thks mate ! 
 @op any recommanded control app and kernel profils (settings) ? am kinda new to these kernel things (I always try the default settings only to not scew things up)

We set these up out of the box to our liking so the recommended settings are the default ones. I use trickster when I do mess with things though.
First impressions: Been onboard 9 hours on Tesla rom (unofficial) a friend of mine builds for Shamu...Extremely smooth!!Slow drain on battery already seems noticeable to me. Played a zombie killer fps game and no stutters whatsoever. Using kernels default settings. Tks guys! :thumbsup:

this is the goal. It makes it easy to just do something like "git pull zen BFS_standlone" and only get the bfs stuff, etc. Also to not have to search through pages of commits to find a certain set of changes.
I get a little unorganized in the misc branches, but I can't have one for everything

Go ahead.. I use root explorer and check system/init.d/etc and delete any scripts if they're there just to make sure nothing messes with the new kernel then flash kernel.

Intro:
This is a kernel I developed alongside @Xileforce for Nexus 7 2013, this IS an offical Vindicator Kernel and follows the same ideals and guidelines as the Vindicator Kernel for Nexus 6. 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 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 tablet blows up, its not my fault. If your tablet somehow gains perpetual battery life, I'll take full responsibility.

FAQ
1. How Do I Enable Mako Hotplug?
To enable mako hotplug use your favorite kernel control app like faux or trickster. As of 1.8 it is the default hotplug. In trickster you have to turn off both mpdecision and intelliplug. In faux you need to simply select User Control in the Hotplug Section. The hotplug can be configured using Franko Kernel Updater App.
2. Does This Work With CM12 Theme Engine?
Yes, this works with CM12 Theme Engine and should work on all ROMs properly.
3. How Can I Force All 4 Cores Online All The Time?
First you must enable mako hotplug. Then you need to use Franco's kernel updater app or another app that allows you to tweak mako hotplug settings. In fku app select CPU manager then hotplug control. Change load threshold to 0. Additionally if you just want to make it use 4 cores more often. Lower this number below 80 as desired. This should also be possible to tweak via terminal however I've never used that method.
4. Does This Have D2W, S2W, etc?
Yes, they are include in this kernel.
5. Help! I think its making me bootloop!:
This may only apply to specific ROMs and I'm unsure of why it would change anything but users have reported this to fix the issue. If you are trying a fresh install of a ROM boot on stock kernel first, reboot, then install this kernel.
6. You Broke My Tablet! 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 and navigate to proc/last_kmsg. I need this file for debugging.
7. What Kernel Tweaking App Should I Use?:
I now use Synapse as my goto app for kernel tweaking.
8. Why Add Zram? We Already Have plenty of Ram!
Zram was added in build 1.0 as an experiment of sorts to see how much is was actually being used. V 1.0 introduced a bunch of tweaks to the kernel that essentially make it use more ram in order to give better battery life and performance. Zram was put in place to offset this in a way.
9. 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
10. Come on man. 35mhz is pointless bro!:
A common misconception is that if two frequencies run at the same voltage. They use equal power. In fact this couldn't be less true. The equation for power draw has four variables. Two of which are frequency and voltage. Essentially it is the frequency multiplied by the square of the voltage. Then you would take that and multiply it by a few other things such as capacitance. However that is irrelevant for our purposes as it will not effect the relative results. This means that 35mhz running at 500mv will use about 3x less power than 98mhz at 500mv. Now we say well what about compared to 300mhz? I can stably run that at around 650mv. Maybe slightly less. This equates to about 15x less power usage at 35mhz. Well now that we know that. Who cares? Its not like 35mhz will even get used. Its too low! I beg to differ. I would almost guarantee that if you are not running mpdecision 35 MHz will be within the top 3 most used frequencies. Most likely the top used below sleep. And every time it uses that over 300mhz you are saving 15x the power. Additionally 35mhz also runs at a cache frequency of 35mhz as opposed to 300mhz cache frequency and runs a lower bus speed/voltage saving additional power.
11. How Do I Use MultiRom???:
To use multi ROM first you must download the MultiRom App from the Gooogle Play Store. Open it. You should have MultiRom and recovery boxes checked. Click install, reboot etc. To install a ROM. Download a ROM you like, go to twrp, click advanced,MultiRom,add ROM. Select internal storage and the Your zip file. Flash it but don't reboot! After that go back and select "list ROMs" select the ROM u just flashed still and click flash zip and select your gapps,supersu etc. After that simple reboot and select your new ROM on boot use the MultiRom app to manage your ROMs.
More will be added as they come up and I think of them.

I want to be a better tester. I have one question though. The ROM I'm running is cm based and I'm getting different colors. Can you include a caf based kernel please. An d which is the best app to change settings with cz trickster don't let me change sound control
Edit: other than that the kernel looks great man. Its good and fast I'll test battery life for you on my next charge

Hell yeah! Heard many good things about this kernel. It's really great to see it being developed for our beloved Flo. Sweet!
Just a quick heads up... I'm getting a boot loop. Running latest OptiPop which is 5.1.1 r2 and I have data and cache partitions set to f2fs. Any help is appreciated.
You stoped me flashing. Maybe it's a ramdisk problem? Flash stock kernel when flash this one. Give a feedback after that

OK...on opening syn the min freq is 918. If I move the slider to the extreme left it indicates 94mhz. I save & when I reopen syn, the freq is back to 918.
Not at all saying this is a problem with the kernel, just what I'm seeing with syn...

Q&A
Would I recommend you flashing this kernel?
No. This is considered to be a testing phase, it can be unstable and should not be used if you seek guaranteed stability.
Will this work on my d6XX?
Yes. It doesn't matter what phone you have, they all use the same board. (exception: the d625 uses a different board, thus flashing this is dangerous and should not be performed.)
Will this kernel work with my rom?
As the name suggests, this kernel is for Marshmallow based roms works with all cm13 based roms.
When will you update?
I have a personal life, and I'm also a student. I will update when I have time for it, as this is my hobby.
Very good job. I download it and useing it with RR all the night with no problems!!! good to see in next build overclock and downclock for better battery and performance.
I installed the kernel yesterday, I'm on RR 5.7.1.
It looks stable overall, but I got a self reboot: I opened the camera and it showed nothing, just black. Then I closed it and the phone rebooted.
Apart from this, I didn't found any other malfuncioning.
But some of the CPU governors (SavagedZen, interactiveX, SmartassH3) don't scale the frequency, it stays stuck at 1190MHz, even changing hotplug.
Anyway, I'm satisfied of this kernel, finally my battery lasts more. Keep working! :good:
Does hyper and scary work how it is supposed to be in power suspend mode?

Hyper and Scary should work yes, but again, I've probably not configured them good, so I'd stay on the "normal" governors (interactive, ondemand etc.)
You can find power suspend mode in misc controls in kernel adiutor. The recommended setting is Hybrid.

Hyper must set max freq to %walue% when display off
And idk how to check DAT shhh
Quick note about governors: I'm currently working on making the (new) governors work correctly, since I have not configured them correctly. That is why you'll see that they either just stick at top frequencies or just jumping around and what not. Next release should have them fixed.
New build V1.1.141
Download link is HERE.
Code:
Fixed frequencies
Changed zzmoove & changed+removed some profiles
Add bioshock governor
Add dancedance governor
Add lionheart governor
Add alucard governor
Add nightmare governor
Removed interactiveX governor
Removed not-enabled governors
And as always, feedback is helpful!
I was googling about the governors and schedulers but so many options I don't know what to choose. What are you using mobiusm?

I though already no one is going to ask
I'm using HYPER governor (imho it scales very nicely), intelliplug hotplug, zen for internal storage and bfq for external.
That being said, this is what fits MY usage of the phone. I usually want to save as much battery as I can when I'm not doing anything, and use the cpu according to the usage. This setups works for me very good. Example: today I woke up at about 10:00, and when I got home at about 17:00 I had 85%. I didn't do too much, but I was checking messages, made a few phone calls and I had my internet on the whole time.
Good luck with your tuning!
Thanks. I'm gona try it. I'm using adoptable storage on latest Resurrection Remix ROM and just want the best performance when using the phone and the best battery life when it is in standby mode.
I tried it for a couple of days and it started very well, I experimented with Alucard and HYPER governors and they were good! but today the phone started to get too laggy. I tried to change the governors to see if I had an improvement even wiping cache/Darvin but in the end It didn't get any better and I flashed the stock kernel =(
Anyone else having this lag?
By the way thanks for the work mobius!

This is also very welcomed: since most of the schedulers have changeable settings, please suggest your tuned settings that work best for the phone (If they work good for multiple people I will set them as default )
This message is of course targeted towards everyone...
So a lot is going on right now: I'm back studying, having tons of research projects I need to submit which leaves me no much time to work on the kernel, because it's not as straight forward as putting out a rom build. When I'll update, you're the first to know..
I got bootloop on the latest CM13 nightly build D618
hey mobius, can you add a Touch Boost disable/enable function to your kernel? I think that's very usefull if we can disable touch boost to save more battery.
thank you
ups, silly me. sorry, I use the wrong kernel manager
the feature is already there, please ignore my stupid request

Aero Kernel is a kernel for the Nexus 6. I am aiming for stability, smoothness, and slimness, while retaining a few select features I can't do without. I try to keep a stock-like source, and mostly just cherry-pick in features and fixes from the great developers of XDA that I deem necessary over stock. I will be maintaining 3 branches: Stable built by Uber Toolchains, Beta Built by Uber Toolchains, and Stable built by Uber Linaro Toolchains. To find the differences, please do your own research of the two, but the only major difference is the toolchain that the kernel is compiled with, the different versions have all the same features. Some just find one or the other better so I provide you with both options. Special thanks to @The Flash for his upstream source I used and his help. Also thanks to all the other amazing devs from which I cherry-picked from. Note that this is not in any way affiliated with any kernel control app (there is an "Aero Kernel Control", I have no affiliation with it or the respective dev whatsoever.)

Its not implemented yet, i had lots of errors when i put it in . Once i get it working it will first be in a beta, then stable. And msm sleeper defaults at 4 cores during suspend, i can change this but it can easily be changed via kernel auditor mod or any kernel control app.

Ironactive is just interactive with the upstream CAF patches, which most kernels add anyways because they improve the governor quite a bit. No point to have two governors that do the same thing lol.

​Simple Kernel - Shamu
Simple Kernel is a kernel for Shamu that aims to be just that; a simple kernel. I believe in having too much stuff that really doesn't contribute to a better user experience should not be added into a kernel, and that's the ideology that I built this kernel with. I present Simple Kernel. I hope you enjoy it!
Features:
Sourced from latest Shamu kernel release (nougat-mr-1.5) up to July's security patches.
Upstreamed to 3.10.107 - Thanks to @The Flash for his guide to upstreaming a kernel
Built with vanilla Linaro GCC 7.1.1 - Thanks to The Flash's gcc build tool I used
Upstream F2FS support
LZO Compressed kernel - fast decompression at boot time
Power Suspend power management - Thanks to @faux123 and @Yank555
Hotplugs: Intelliplug v4.0 & Mako Hotplug + Stock - Thanks to faux123 and @franciscofranco
CPU governors: Nightmare & ElementalX + Stock - Thanks to @Alucard24 and @flar2
I/O Schedulers: Zen & Row(just enabled it) + Stock - Thanks to @bbedward
Intellithermal v3 - configurable thermal management - Thanks to faux123 Adjustable max temp for stock thermal monitor - Thanks to franciscofranco
Simple GPU Algorithm - configurable way to improve stock msm_adreno_tz governor - Thanks to faux123
KCAL Color Control - Thanks to @savoca
Zen-Tune v4.5 - improves overall responsiveness - Thanks to @frap129
Power Efficient Work queues - can save some battery - Thanks to neilbrown
Disabled BCL (for now, was causing me issues)
No force-encrypt or dm-verity
Safe GCC Optimization flags for Shamu - (-O2, -mtune=cortex-a15, -marm, -mfpu=neon-vfp4, -pipe)
Some misc fixes and stuff here and there
No excess/magical optimizations or patches
Look at my commit log for full list for everything in the kernel
Changelog:
Just look at commit log. Make it easy.
Installation:

Wipe Cache/Dalvik-Cache
Reboot
Done
FAQ:
Q: There was a random reboot or some other issue! What do I do?
A: Pull logs, send them to me. Address issues publicly in thread so everyone can benefit/chip in.
Q: Can you add XYZ feature/patch?
A: Perhaps I can. I am always open to adding things, as long as it maintains the soul of the kernel. Giving me a place to find it also helps. You can also create a pull request on Github if you have the commits.
Q: How do I pull a log that you asked for?
A: I use (play store, free) Kernel Adiutor to pull logs. In KA, go to Settings -> Debugging -> Driver Message & -> Last kmsg. Send me the txt files created in /sdcard. Not doing this when bringing up an issue will result in loss of my support and is not good practice when asking for help.
Q: What is F2FS? How do I convert to it?
A: Googling will do you well, this gives a good overview of what is is. This thread might help you decide if it's right for you. Read my instructions in my TWRP w/F2FS thread to see basic conversion instructions.

About the LZO compressed kernel, I was under the impression that the boot would be faster if the kernel wasn't compressed at all. I don't know how large the uncompressed kernel is, but since it gets decompressed at boot anyway, perhaps it'd be better to just have it uncompressed to begin with?

An uncompressed kernel image would probably boot faster in our case since our CPU/RAM is fast enough to handle an operation as such. Only issue however is the uncompressed kernel sizes in at about 20 mb in our case, and is too large for our device's boot partition (I think around 16 mb), and won't be able to be installed to the device at all, producing an error saying the image is larger than the boot partition.
EDIT:
Also by "faster", I am comparing it to other popular compression methods such as xz.

Build r2 is live with minor changes. Here's an overview of what's changed:
- Reverted Intellithermal and replaced it with franco's max temp tuner due to stability issues
- Merged latest July security patches from google
Happy flashing!

An uncompressed kernel image would probably boot faster in our case since our CPU/RAM is fast enough to handle an operation as such. Only issue however is the uncompressed kernel sizes in at about 20 mb in our case, and is too large for our device's boot partition (I think around 16 mb), and won't be able to be installed to the device at all, producing an error saying the image is larger than the boot partition.

LZO is going to be the best available. Also, Intellithermal is outdated. I would stay away from it. May I ask what issues you had with BCl. I always had it disabled in my kernel, I believe it to be the cause of early shutdowns that people report (especially when the power draw it too much).

Agreed. I decided to just give it a shot because I wanted to see if I could add some more options for as far as thermal drivers goes but it just doesn't do anything better than stock thermal throttling + Franco's userspace temperature adjustment patch, and like you said, was not updated since it's initial port to qcom devices by faux. Decided to squash it from here out.

This is actually a good point. I believe as of now, I will bring it back in the near future. I had some rebooting issues, and I *thought* BCL was the cause, but it now seems it is due to RQ Affinity (still working on getting it ironed out). Once I figure out the real cause of my very sparse reboots, I will most likely bring it back, as the upsides seem to outweigh its seemingly negatives(never really figured these out ), especially with Franco's BCL modifications.

I had a toggle for BCL on mine. My source for it is since lost but that may have been added when Yoinx was part of my team. I had it off by default but people could toggle it on. Do you have it set to off? (RQ Affinity)? I started this on my PC but Ill upload screenshot of what I have going on.

I seem to not run into any rebooting with it set to 0 (so off). A BCL toggle would be great. If I could get that into my kernel that will guarantee BCL's return.
EDIT:
Looking at your setup, mine is quite similar, except of course the BCL switches. And currently affinity at 0 for testing.

This is blackbird kernels source with some of my commits and Ill link you to really old source of my kernel that Yoinx had. I had bad issues setting that to 0. Use RQ Affinity 1 and see if they don't stop. Trust me, I made a kernel for this device for the longest time. If there was a mistake to make I made it. Over a year, 2 version of Android. M and N. If you want..... Get me a log at the next reboot and I would be happy to help

Almost laughed. Got a reboot while reading this. Anyways, I appreciate your willingness to help. Not by any means an expert here, and still new at making use of my own logs, so I'll take all I can get. Here's my kmsg from last reboot. This was with affinity 0, so affinity is ruled out as the cause of the reboots at least (had them with 1 too)

Thank you so much for this. Will look into it tomorrow when I get on my PC.
EDIT:
Heading off to bed in a bit. Got work and classes tomorrow. Will read what you have to say in the morning. Thank you again.

Im gonna look at it in a second. In the mean time here is my BCL file
Edit: Do the reboots only happen when using certain apps? I expected to see a watchdog bite for IRQ and I didnt.

Thanks. They seem to random, however, the apps that I can remember reboots occuring in are FX File Explorer, Clash of Clans(yes I play this ancient game), Google Camera(video), XDA Labs, and once while suspended.

Try RQ Affinity value = 1. If not I have another idea

Actually have been doing that since last night, alongside switching to Mako plug. No reboots with heavy usage this morning.
EDIT:
Guess the culprit would be intelli plug
