[KERNEL] SM-T530 experimental overclocking - Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development

Overclocked kernel T530
I have compiled two variants, one for the 4.4.2 rom and another for 4.4.4, CM11 rom.
4.4.2 kernel is tested on the stocklessv5 rom.
The overclocking in this kernel is experimental. Some also claim that overclocking is not possible on this device.
I still feel that there is a speed improvement using my kernel, so whether this comes from the overclocking or from other changes is debatable.
Antutu tests have given me slightly higher scores on the stockless rom than on the CM11 rom.
On stock rom I did get Antutu score at 16800, at the stocklessV5 18367. (these are numbers I have logged a while ago, offcourse results will vary from test to test with antutu.)
On my kernel I typically get around or just below 19000. (highest score so far is 19200)
There is a thread regarding overclocking the LG G2 mini, and I have been looking at the github for that project for ideas.
LG G2 Mini use the same cpu/gpu hardware as the tab4. For comparisation there is posted an image in that thread by someone showing antutu result of 20000 on the LG. But others report they can not replicate that. The LG have lower screen resolution than the Tab4 10.1" so that could explain some of the difference.
About this kernel:
- Overclocking CPU to 1.6Ghz
- Overclocking GPU to 533Mhz
- DVFS is disabled
- Fixed the simple_ondemand GPU govenor crashes
- CPU governors smartassV2 added, enabled interactive govenor
- Compiled with sabermod 4.9 graphite toolchain

[emoji106] whats about a cm12 kernel and a cpu hotplug alternative to mpdecision would be nice.
dt2w is interesting to.
And some beer for kexec hardboot.

I have been trying to make one for cm12. But my attempts resulted in a non-booting kernel, so I put it aside for the moment. Perhaps later if I have the time.

no boot or no framebuffer?
this could help initialize both framebuffer on cm12

I dont know what happens if there are no framebuffer?
But after installing my kernel and I rebooted it just shows the first samsung boot screen, and then goes black, then after a short while it just relaunches twrp recovery.
Other atempts it does go directly to the download mode.

I'm very excited to hear this news. Can anyone confirm if the oc is for real on cm11 or kk? and if so, we must have it working on cm12 for sure. cm12.1 is actually what we're on isnt it? blisspop here, but i see a 5-12-2015 cm 12.1 just dropped so i'm pry gonna run that in the next day or so. Either way, great work! Any type of improvement i see as progress.

Please post a link here to your cm12 kernel when you have finished it with the overclock changes.

maybe for LP 5.0.2 TW ?????

hi, please about 4.4.2 with stockless rom v5, if anything become unstable and want go back to previous kernel is it enough to dirty flash stockless rom or there is something that must be deleted manually?
thanx a lot…

thank you can this thing get overclocked more i mean i saw people state they overclocked the tab 1 to 2ghz just asking lol, anyways great job

[KERNEL][OC][V3] Fandroid Kernel V3 with dynamic cpu overclock

This kernel is distributed with several overclock modules.
The modules doesn't have GPL in their licenses. The sources for modules are private.
*** The frequencies below are not real. Sorry for that. I know little about detailed architecture for U8500 CPU... ***
available frequencies:
50MHz,100MHz,500MHz,1000MHz,2000MHz(can be set by modules)
Kernel Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdmXlyN
Module for overclocking to 1.2 GHz(Stable): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJz8i6Z
Module for overclocking to 1.5 GHz(Stable): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jG3giWI
Module for overclocking to 2.0 GHz(Still testing): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1bnfDNBp
If you like the kernel any donations are welcome: alipay account: 15190852698 I will build a kernel for you if you donate me
If you want to use this in your ROM:
1. PM me first
2. Don't touch the kernel(e.g. extract or modify zImage or ramdisk). You will easily get problems e.g. not booting and wifi not working
3. Don't put anything that you can get money from it in your ROM.
Recovery:
Camera button only after vibrate will bring you into TWRP
Power button only after vibrate will enter CWM
If you press both keys after vibrate you will enter kexec bootmenu.
***Read this before you flash the kernel!***
The kernel only supports /data and /cache of f2fs filesystem. You will get a bootloop if you use ext4 for the two partitions. But use ext4 for /system.
mkfs.f2fs_arm link: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=855746158&uk=3137347581
Don't ask me for source. It's from internet.

Bootloop
I installed your kernel with cm 11 M9 and slimkat 7.6 and everytime i get a bootloop​
How to install those modules? How to access recovery, power button?
This kernel looks promising, but could you please provide more information such as the recovery that comes with it, if theres one; or the features besides having the overclock modules that it has etc. Thank you. Good job overall.

Sorry I didn't mentioned some important information in my post.
Please format /data and /cache to f2fs if you want to use the kernel.
And also, if you flashed another ROM, you will need to mkfs.f2fs again.

Thanks. Post updated.
Novathor chips can go up to 1,3ghz. 1.2 ghz is a safest option. Overclocking that much a novathor SoC without changing voltages will only consume severe power leading to overheat. Due too the aluminium design of xperia p you will not notice so much heat but when graphics artifacts start to occur then i hope you have the budget needed to buy several phones to payout the users.

Even i have read that 1.2ghz is the safest option for novathor overclocking. thnx for confirming.
Dammit!
I thought that fake overclocks and/or underclocks will die with the real overclock, but as I can sadly see this is not true. First of all, the commit which increases frequency in the repo of the GitHub link provided does NOT change the needed registers to increase frequency. Secondly, if the work of this thread would work at 50Hz the phone would die and at 2GHz everything will crash automatically, this is just placebo effect, a nonsense placebo effect.

For me that value is very similar even with real overclock, and it changes a lot from second to second. To check if overclock works the best idea is to make a benchmark and check ARM PLL registers.
I agree with Garcia98. The overclock cannot be done on this motherboard/CPU and the 2GHz overclock will fry the components in no time.

Hey @jekk0s Thanks for that.
Just 1 Q
Is your Git source up to date? I just built your kernel and the version I built has a few less CPU governors then the .img you uploaded
Other then that Kernel works great! Compiled with UberTC-4.9
Thanks again.

I've updated the github with some more local changes. To enable the governors you'll need to use the m7_defconfig

Think the default governor might not be the best. I'm using intellidemand which makes the phone work smoothly in most situations.
Works great on CM12.1. Is there anyway that I could set the minimum GPU frequency on boot? Maybe using an init.d script?

Very VEEEERY good work . Love the overclock 2.1 GHZ !!!!!! i can see the difference in games . work on Exodus 5.1.1 2016 but , lagging on music , unloking or keyboard use . higher GPU frequencies can be use ? Like 500mhz ,or like same sense kernel (587 MHz :0 )
Sorry for my english ^^
which software you guys using for tuning kernel.
I tried several, after restart its resetting some times even after exiting the app. I am encountering frequent restarts and higher temperature.
Tried clean, still issue persists. I can't live without double tap to wake and sweep to sleep.
Device being secondary, not interested in much performance , I just need basic features and stability. I tried under volt the cpu , it didn't boot then.
Was on ARHD and elementalx before. Was going good.
Recently jumped to cm.
Any suggestions?
I use Ex kernel manager for change my CPU and gpu frequencies , active fastcharge , ....
I hope that the next update propose more gpu frequencies , the currents , and more higher really more than 450
On exodus rom the phone seems stable , but lag on internet or music use (unpleasant) :/ I've try differents gorvernor but no real change ...

Finally someone developing a different kernel! Very much appreciated!
Take a look at ExtremeKernel, it adds some bits missing from stock Kernel that would be nice to see here (Extreme seems to be discontinued).
Gonna follow this thread and try it!
@bodafranus thanks for a great kernel! Working here o a40 sd 415 indian variant. Here one bug though.. touch response is not working on ambient display.. it has been fixed in latest commits by Karthik. Kindly include these fixes in next version. Thanks!
Waiting for Alpha1 to try it! When will it be available?
Changelog seems to be promising!!
New version:
alpha1
1. changed governor and HMP scheduler values.
2. added bw_hwmon shenanigans to ramdisk (responsible for controlling some bus frequencies)
3. updated some drivers
4. merge 'caf/LA.BR.1.2.9_rb1.12' (kang from: karthick111)
If you experience any problems, send logs. (some can be found at: /sys/fs/pstore)

It seems kernel is not fully compatible with vibe k5 a6020a40 sd 415 Indian varient. Phone gets booted only if flashed over hyper kernel of prateekchaubey. But if lm kernel is flashed over stock lineage kernel, phone gets stuck at bootlogo. I checked both alpha0 & alpha1 versions after I got this.

That's strange, can you try flashing over latest official Lineage, after a Factory Reset wipe?
Try to grab a logcat while in bootloop, if it persists (see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274119)
I will check Ambient Display after I fix some issues.

Ok.. I tried it on official lineage 10/4 build with fresh flash and the lm kernel alpha 1 is working without any problem like bootloop/stuck to bootlogo.
i am not using this kernel even not other, but having big trouble with lineage OS, basically cpu core bug i can say and i asked on its respective thread, page 72 and 73, dev and other users helped me but partially solved you can refer if you want to, but i will explain anyway here shortly,
i am using 20170410 built, and kernel adiutor, selinux permissive, i tried switching all possible options like core control, clock speed, governor, other thing, the only thing bug me is governor, like interactive and ondemand, max 1497mhz and min 200mhz i set, but it always on 1497mhz when even idle little process and core directly goes offline when no use, and never downclock, i also found too much over heating when any games or heavy task.
(**this is not bug of this kernel,
and this exactly same paragraph i'll be posting on lineage os thread, so if you like to suggest me about this bug you can in that thread )
so back to main track, will this kernel solve this problem?
also i see alpha 2 change log but no built.

Wrong thread. If you demand CPU power obviously it'll deliver, so expect it with heavy tasks. Overheat is a problem inherently of our device and its chassis, after all metals are good heat conductors...
Check your target_loads and background processes if you encounter this problem while idle.

It may, because tunables are already set up properly by default.
Yeah, no point in releasing a build with minimal changes. Next one will come up shortly with some bug fixes.

really appreciate , i am gonna try this right now and sure will giving you some feedback, thanks.
quick feed, changes i see. A46 device
- little cores working very good as expected now, clock speed interactive as on demanded, which i prefer.
-but big core just stay at 1497 mhz constant (which i know its not problem on this kernel, it from lineageos rom that why i tried using this kernel to see fix) but i know someday may be solved by this kernel,
-one more thing i notice on small core, as its clock speed is as on demanded, but all 4 core speed same, instead of individual.
-now no core get automatically shutdown, even if no demand of an individual core. which is good as well as bad (i am kind of confused for this)
that all, this changes i looked as after flash just now.

actually, its kernel adiutor doing, when i used cpuz, it showed all cpu at 200mhz which i set, and kernel adiutor need 2 full speed core to work smoothly, so kernel throttles to max clock speed of all 4 big core, instead of 2,
so far i am happy, thnks :good:

i flashed it and camera isnt working anymore,pls fix this flashed with rr build
Can you port kernel from mi5 SlimDragons rom ?) they made good kernel )
Thanks, will try it later is it possible to port EAS?

Weird camera works fine for me but I use cm14.
Can you get a logcat?
What camera app and what happens? Just a blank screen?

Ok the problem occurs because both andr68rus and I have named our camera shims differently.
Also lineage has their own name for it.
In this kernel I used the Lineageos naming as I thought that was the standard. (at least I'm 90% sure I did )
@andr68rus please can we standardise on the lineageos naming system and both change our sources to suit?
Once he has updates RR I'll upload the updated kernel and all should be good. Of course since I've wiped my phone to try this out I'll test it first with RR this time just to make sure.

So, will this change make stock camera fully working?
Also, regarding signal reception
at my desk the signal is weak
any idea if we could make signal reception better,
as per my experience LOS based roms or Mokee feel like does not have stock like signal reception feature,
feels bit unstable(always trying disconnecting/connecting)...
which causes the main battery drainage(dual sim, both weak signals)

Tks for ur hardwork, hope u can fix this on the next update bro! I really want to use the kernel, or is there any way to fix the camera problem? Also the flashlight cannot turn on, currently im usingI andr68us's DU build
Hi:
Where is the kernel?
Where can I download the kernel?
Thanks for your job
infrag said:
Thanks to @mosimchah for his hard work on Blackscreen kernel. I've just ported it to X2.
BlackScreen is meant to give you great battery life and performance (depending on how you tune it , more on that later in the second post).
Please read original thread for details.

Does this kernel has undervolting capability? Le max 2 has very weak battery.

Nice work, thanks I will use LOS naming system next build. I will repack kernel with my ramdisk and put link for < 05/09 RR-N.
PS. Where I can download kernel?
Hope this kernel gets fixed soon, you're doing great work on the Le Max 2, thanks for your contributions!
Also hopefully you and @andr68rus find the naming fix and that this kernel gets integrated into RR, AOKP, DU and the rest of the Nougat roms, I can see it being a great SoT fix for Nougat ROMs.
( for me this kernel is hopeless ((( my problem with camera on nougat roms seems unfixable for now (((

I pulled the link as it didnt work on Cr3pts Unoffical LAOS cm14.1 either.
However it turns out he hasnt updated his libc shim name either so I've re-added the download link.
Wheres your new link so I can test on RR?

No it wont fix stock camera. I didnt imply that so...
As far as signal reception goes I dont have issues with reception.
I do see some stuff in the logs about disconnecting reconnecting and i'll probably have a look at it one of these days. Not sure IF I can do anything but I'll try.

Whats your problem on Nougat roms?
I think I read something about focusing or something?
If so I have an idea but you will need to pull some logs while camera is semi working for you.

Flash andr68us's 'fixed' build. (just renamed a file basically)
His future builds should work with this.

[KERNEL][GT-S5282] [CM11] [SlimKat] Modified Kernel

This kernel fixes the TOUCHSCREEN FREEZING bug when playing large games by removing the CGROUPS.
Which also gives us back the RAM it ate (458mb total, now)
Same features with LahKeda's overclocked kernel.
1200mhz Overclock
Kernel Sampage Merging
zRAM
Governors
No bugs.
Source
Credits:
@psych.half for the source
@LahKeda for adding overclock and compiling
(no credit for me. I just found out cgroups is buggy but all the work was from them)
thx so much ive been waiting for this for so long
New Build
Increased zRAM from 92mb to 134mb
Properly enabled KSM (It was included in the previous one but it wasn't enabled by default)
Compressed into boot.img
Set the maximum frequency to 1200mhz by default
Set the minimum frequency to 600mhz by default
Set the governor to "ondemand" by default (If I set "performance", the frequency will only go to 1000mhz even though the script was 1200mhz. I don't know why that happens)
So which kernel is better?... Cm11's default one or this one?
Please provide the sources
RJinxed said:
Tested on SlimKat but it "should" work on cm11 since the source is the same. Try and report back if you can.

@RJinxed
Tried it on corpish's last cm 11 build and works fine..
Actually earlier I was using this kernel in slimkat:laugh:
Just bcz of few bug's!!! I reverted to cm 11
Anyway works on CM 11
Thanks again
New Build
Added 1250MHz overclock (no reboots, see uptime)
Enabled memory control cgroups (enabling cgroups fully was causing freeze in playing games so I tried using just the memory resource controller and it works without freezes, cheers)
P.S. Tell me if you guys want governors. I forgot to add it. Only performance is in this kernel.
Nevermind. Here is it. Same as above but with governors.

To be honest, I don't know. All I do is follow lahkeda/corphish's commits in their github. I just learned to edit defconfigs and compile but aside from that, I don't really know what to do.

No, this is only compatible for kitkat roms. Also, don't use cm14.1 yet since it's still really buggy.

Can u suggest the best custom rom for this phone?
EDITED: Freezes at 1.3GHz after over 30 hours. If you still wanna try it, I'll keep this here. This build has lowered voltages.
I don't know if I can find a way to get it to work but I'll try anyway.
Final Build
Lowered voltages (Battery life increased)
Updated lowmemorykiller driver (cherry picked from this source)
Unfortunately, 1300MHz was unstable no matter what. Tried different sources, adjusting voltages etc but it seems to be the limit for this device. Also ive noticed some weird artifacts whenever I use it (Which proves that it is unstable since in PC overclocking as well, the cue for unstable overclocking is artifacts)
TLDR; 1250MHz is the farthest we can have.
Deleted. I'm losing my mind.
Try this guys. 1292MHz, Hopefully this would be the last build, After almost 4 days constant, still no reboots.
Edit #1: DO NOT set the governor to ONDEMAND. Performance is perfectly stable but when I set the governor to ondemand, after a couple of hours it rebooted. I don't think this is coincidence with over 100 hours of uptime.
Edit #2: Reuploaded the kernel but this time, performance is the only governor option since it's the only stable one. If you want governors, download the 1250MHz version.
how to overclock
hey buddy,
I have a question, I have rooted my phone it is running android version 4.1.2 and i want to overclock my phone. Can i use this kernel in my existing os version or i have to install cm11 and then overclock it. Please tell me in detail, i am new in rooting and flashing and all that. Please explain in as much detail as possible. Hope a response from you.
Thank u
My model no. GT-S5282
