Mod Edit: Thread Closed per OP request
Welcome to the N0G33K edition Kernel
This kernel is built on the idea of having optimized battery life and performance. A well made balance between these two is what you get.
Read this first
Please do not post requests, because this is my personal kernel and I won't add any stuff I do not want myself (i.e D2W, S2W, AOD, sound control etc). Also I won't add any other support for other devices. Last but not least: I don't reply to questions like: "which governor/scheduler is the best" etc. The choice is all yours.
PS: You need to root yourself (Magisk on Nougat or SuperSU on Marshmallow)

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for all the damages followed by or to your phone after flashing this kernel. If it bricks, wipes, explodes and you will hold me responsible I will only laugh
Known issues:
- Probably Synapse "backup profile" doesnt work.
F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Synapse says no UCI detected
A: Install Busybox to system/xbin
Q: I had a reboot
A: Only report it here if you didn't undervolt and do it with a log.
A2: If you had random reboot without undervolting, then make a proper log please. Which means I need a last_kmsg from right after the reboot.
You create the log by using this command in adb shell or a terminal or use any 3rd party app like Syslog.
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
Good luck .
Maybe you will add for g925F support to .

That will be awesome
@senzatiOn- @Sommerrain
Read my "Read this first". Already said that I wont.
But never say never, who knows.
So if rhis works with 920f does that mean it work with 920i

I have read this.... i just ask... MAYBE
GL & HF
I lost RIL (signal) after flashing V3.
Unknown IMEI, but efs partition intact.
Going back to Arter v22 Grace, fixes this issue.
OP is aware of this, and will look into it, so have a nandroid backup in your hands, and be sure you have a fresh efs backup, prior to flashing V3.
It might not happen to you, but since some users have V3 installed already without issues, consider your self warned.

Yes like I stated the N7 compatibility is still in beta. So far this is the first case where there is no signal. I am taking a look into it.
Also people you dont need an EFS backup or something, flashing back to stock or arter N7 kernel will just be fine.
I'm happy to see you finally here ?

CHANGELOGS IN #2 POST
You can tweak multiple options of this kernel with TricksterMod, FauxClock, Kernel Adiutor, Synapse(r500 and up, definitely recommended to get the most available options) or similar apps. (They are all available on the PlayStore)
Note to MultiROM users : don't use the kernel sharing feature. Flash the kernel on each rom instead. Also, it may take more time booting on secondary roms when using F2FS. Don't worry and wait for a bit

Mirror + older builds : Mediafire
FAQ :
What are the differences between "Full" and "Pure" builds ?
The "Full" builds are using Aroma Installer so you can tweak various options at flash time. At the end of the process, a file containing your settings will be created (/sdcard/glitch-settings.conf). The "full" builds are also able to restore your settings from Aroma after a rom flash or wipe for example.
On the other hand, "Pure" builds aren't coming with Aroma and will try to restore your settings from your SDcard, or use a default profile if none is found. Both Full and Pure builds are coming with a custom Synapse support to let you tweak all the core options on the fly once booted.
If you flash a "Pure" build without a profile, the default preset will be applied. It's been tweaked for a good balance between performance, power consumption, stability and functionality for day to day usage. The default settings applied are as follow :
- 1.7GHz max CPU freq (from 1.5GHz stock) / 1GHz max CPU freq when the screen is off / "Balanced" L2 OC
- msm_hotplug driver in place of msm_mpdecision
- 450MHz max GPU freq (inline with other Snapdragon 600 devices - from 400MHz stock)
- Safe CPU and GPU undervolting for lower heat and power consumption
- Deadline I/O sched / Interactive CPU governor
- Doubletap to wake and fastcharge enabled (Doubletap to wake will slowly drain power during suspend, so disable it if not used)
- Everything else is kept stock
What do I have to do to use F2FS on one (or more) of my partitions ?
First, BACKUP your data if needed, especially if you're planning to use F2FS on DATA partition, as changing filesystem will wipe the partition. Change partition formats as needed in your recovery. It is NOT recommended to convert system partition as F2FS as it'll be slower than EXT4 to begin with (as the partition is mostly read only) and will alter compatibility with many roms (especially CM/LineageOS based). The last thing to do is to flash any Glitch kernel with a revision number past r150. You can restore your settings from SDcard if any, the install process will detect the partitions and modify the ramdisk accordingly so you can finally boot and use your fresh FS.
What L2/cache OC setting should I use ?
This setting will overclock bus speed and RAM so it's a bit delicate to tweak, yet it can give a nice "free" global performance boost. A simple test to check for stability is to run the camera app 3 or 4 times in a row while waiting for 10 seconds between each launch. If your device freezes, it's unstable ! It's also the only setting you can't change on the fly once booted, either from Synapse or sysfs, and requiring a reflash (using Aroma or changing the value in /sdcard/glitch-settings.conf).
Let me give you some details about the available settings so you can choose wisely :
Stock (1.13GHz-4.26GBps) is the regular, out of the box, non OC setting.
Improved (1.19GHz-4.26GBps) is the same as "ElementalX" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Balanced (1.22GHz-4.66GBps) is the same as "Ultra" setting in Flar2's kernel.
Fast (1.35GHz-4.66GBps) is a nice jump over "Balanced", yet stable for most devices. A kind of sweet spot.
Extreme (1.43GHz-4.80GBps) is were most users will start to get issues. Provides a great boost if stable.
Glitchy (1.49GHz-4.80GBps) pushes your hardware to the limits. Will be unstable for most devices.
Thanks to everyone helping me to debug and find new useful things to integrate !
Without all of you, this kernel wouldn't be !

Latest release's changelog with words for humans :
14/09/2017 - r574 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.08;
- Added touchscreen-calibration fix patch by parrotgeek1;
Previous changes below :
17/07/2017 - r572 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
11/07/2017 - r571 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
29/06/2017 - r570 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 7.1.1-2017.05.
03/06/2017 - r566 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Changed the behaviour of the permissive/not permissive switch to either force permissive or keep rom default (instead of forcing enforcing before) to prevent issues with some implementations;
- Added a service that restarts GMS (Google Mobile Services) post boot to fix memory leak/battery drain linked to them - Curently working in permissive mode only (like init.d and some advanced Synapse settings);
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 6.3.1-2017.05.
07/05/2017 - r565 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Added a simple check for the MPDecision service starting mechanism used by your rom : If it's using the same trigger as LineageOS (init.flo.power.rc), you'll be able to enable/disable the service at will after boot. If it's using a different trigger, the binary will be nuked the old way (renamed to mpdecision_bck) if you're using the in-kernel msm_hotplug driver (effectively preventing you to play with it after boot). It's not a solution that pleases me, but it will fix cases of both hotplug drivers loaded at the same time on non-LOS-based roms, and that's all that counts for now.
14/04/2017 - r564 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Corrected HZ reference in touchscreen driver.
30/03/2017 - r563 :
- Fix potential touchscreen inconsistencies on some panel revisions
- Fix gesture switch (S2S/S2W/timeout)
27/03/2017 - r561 :
- Synced with latest LineageOS 14.1;
- Backported high-resolution support for sched-clock;
- Fixed CPU detection on subsystem_restart;
- Make rpm clocks sleeping clocks;
- Pushed updates from franco kernel regarding GPU, CPU freq and video;
- Added Zen I/O scheduler (pretty nice sched to say the least);
- Enabled I/O is busy flag for msm_hotplug driver by default (boosts CPU freq during heavy I/O load -> big smoothness gains in many apps and games);
- Added compiler fixes and optimizations from alesaiko (breakfast kernel);
- Moved to latest Linaro GCC 6.3.1 compiler (as the changes above fixed high power consumption issues on GCC5+);
- Consolidated Synapse support. The path of the generated config file is now /data/synapse instead of ramdisk to keep it safe during rom upgrades and reboots. If you get a "No UCI support" message on first Synapse launch, just kill the app and relaunch it. It'll not happen again after that unless you wipe data or I'm forcing a regen in a future update.
- Fixed init.d injection not using the correct path for busybox since a few releases and updated the execution process to N standards;
- Changed the way we get rid of mpdecision to prevent the service from starting in the init process instead of renaming the binary. This enables the possibility to enable or disable mpdecision on the fly after boot, even if using msm_hotplug as default hotplug driver.
- Fixed missing options in Synapse;
- Added various smaller performance patches and optimizations as well as a few more variables to play with for nerdz and lolcats (see github commits);
- Tweaked debugging config;
12/03/2017 - r544 :
- Sync with latest LineageOS 14.1
- Disabled backlight dimmer by default - Added a note to Aroma installer about potential issues with some panel revisions
23/12/2016 - r543 :
- Sync with latest CM14.1
18/12/2016 - r542 :
- Enable RPFILTER (CM14.1 tethering fix)
05/12/2016 - r541 :
- SElinux switch now works on boot without needing root access. As a result, also removed related post-boot script hooks
- Added prebuilt config file for Synapse for faster launch and fix possible error on first launch (clear Synapse data if you get issues)
04/12/2016 - r540 :
Due to some of the changes in this build, restoring settings from sdcard backup (by flashing Pure Edition or restoring through Aroma) may lead to different settings being applied depending on what you set before. It is strongly suggested to use the Full installation at least once to update your settings or delete glitch-settings.conf on the root of your sdcard before flash to use the default preset.
- Post CM14.1 merge cleanup pass. It was definitely needed ! Including, but not limited to :
- Removed Lazyplug and Intelliplug hotplug drivers (due to conflicts leading to performance issues)
- Removed Dynamic Fsync / Added switch to disable Fsync (after corrupting ~15 installations with DynFsync, I don't feel like it's worth the slight I/O perf boost)
- Replaced Showp1984's DT2W by flar2's S2W/S2S/DT2W (the touchscreen issues I faced with it aren't reproducible anymore)
- Removed LZ4 and use XZ compression instead
- Removed WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT (couldn't see a measurable gain with it enabled)
- Removed ROW ioshed
- Rollback'd to older Intellidemand governor- Reworked settings application and restoration system to work with CM14.1/without SuperSU and load it early during boot by init hooking (CM14.1 PCC livedisplay related race condition "fix" included). Note : MultiROM users, you may want to disable MultiROM menu if you have it enabled to further reduce the chances to trigger the issue (completely fixed it on my side). Feel free to report your findings on the matter.
- Added flar2's ElementalX governor
- Updated default profile (the one you get while flashing Pure package or using restoration option in Aroma without sdcard backup)
- Updated thermal profiles
- Updated available options in Aroma
- Updated busybox to 1.25.1 YDS and moved from /sbin to the more convenient and standard /system/xbin
- Updated Selinux switches to work with more roms (now working on CM14.1)
- Moved Synapse files from /data/synapse to /res/synapse in ramdisk
- Updated Synapse presets
- Updated Synapse settings (Aroma installer will give more gestures-related options though, at least for now)
29/11/2016 - r534 :
This kernel will only work with AOSP 7.x and latest CyanogenMod 14.1 based roms. If you get incorrect colors and slow UI, rollback to r533 CM.
- Rebased using CM14.1 tree
- Updated color controls to mimic CM's PCC implementation (Thanks @flar2)
07/11/2016 - r533 :
- Added SDCardFS support
- Fix for CVE-2016-3903
- Fix for CVE-2016-3934
- Fix for CVE-2016-7117
- Added LazyPlug switch and settings to Synapse (hotplug tab)
- Added DT2W switch to Synapse (misc tab)
- Fix GPU voltage range formatting in Synapse
- Fixes regarding power efficiency
- Contextual fixes and speedups
- Now building CM variant of the Nougat kernel too. AICP is the first N rom on this device to require a CM compatible kernel.
14/09/2016 - r530 :
- Modified rom injection/flash time mods logic to be more robust and universal. Fixes inconsistent boot or even bootlooping on hybrid F2FS roms like CyanogenMod or PureNexus THIS CHANGE MAY FORCE YOU TO REFLASH YOUR ROM TO BE ABLE TO BOOT (even on a non-hybrid rom - no wipe required)
- Fixed settings not applying after setting them through Aroma/glitch-settings.conf
- Security patch to avoid invalid access to ashmem area
- Security patch for vulnerability CVE-2016-2059
- Removed deprecated binary injection code
- Default thermal presets calibrated for better efficiency and performance (they were too aggressive in r520)
- Little naming change for the builds. Full is still "Full", but "Restore" is now "Pure". Pure edition is now fully standalone and doesn't require a previously generated profile from Full edition (but will gladly restore it as before if found during install). It can be fully tweaked through config file and/or Synapse like Full edition.
- Nougat build "Full edition" now has a Nougat themed splash screen for Aroma
- Synapse presets are now working. Make sure to press apply when Synapse comes back if you want to keep it ! (Make sure to clear Synapse data after first boot to force a regeneration !)
- Small things you won't notice
24/08/2016 - r520 :
- Rebase from latest AOSP sources
- Synapse support with many more features and personnalization available than ever before ! Aroma settings are a joke compared to what you'll have in Synapse. Don't flash UKM on top by the way, and make sure to clear Synapse data if you've flashed one of the previews. Even more to come soon.
- Updated Neobuddy89's msm_limiter driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Updated Neobuddy89's state_notifier driver to latest from Nexus 6
- Moved to Faux123's Intelli-thermal driver
- Added some memutils optimizations and more for performance
- Updated Xbox One gamepad driver
- Removed loads of dead code and buggy merges
- Switched to Linaro 4.9.4 toolchain - After weeks of testing, my tab runs cooler, stabler, and longer than with 5.x for an invisible performance difference. Worth it !
10/08/2016 - Preview r516 is available here. More options available in Synapse which is now also enabled with the "full" build, merged android-6.0.1_r0.105, and various other tweaks for speed and power savings. Full changelog here.
04/08/2016 - A preview (r513) is available here. Synapse part still needs some work. Notably, some hotplug drivers options are missing and you can't apply presets. The kernel itself should be stable enough for day to day usage.
12/07/2016 - r499 :
- Fix for glitch settings not applying if the rom doesn't use the init.trace.rc file (Dirty Unicorns is one of them)
- Sync fstab with latest cm13 (may fix usb otg on cm13 based roms in some specific configurations)
11/07/2016 - r478 r498 :
- Synced source up to android-6.0.1_r0.98 changes (latest)
- Getting ready for rebase and Synapse-compatible release
- Removed deprecated libs from r478 installer (fixes setperm errors on some custom/recent roms)
- Fixed CM compatibility
10/12/2015 - r412 :
- Merged with android-6.0.1_r0.1 changes
- PowerHAL patch to fully disable touchboost calls when Qualcomm MPdecision isn't used. This gets rid of the touchboost log spam and (small) overhead.
- Updated F2FS
- Installer scripts fixes and cleanups
- Added back CM build - untested
02/12/2015 - r410 :
- Updated base to linux 3.4.110
- Merged with android-6.0.0_r0.1 changes
- Added Neobuddy89's MSM Limiter driver, enabling max/min/suspend frequencies tweaking on the fly. No more need to reflash for that (/sys/kernel/msm_limiter/ for who's interested). Also added his state notifier driver for further tweaking.
- Removed MSM Sleeper as it's covered by MSM Limiter already
- Changed how settings are applied (moved from init.d script to service) to prevent permission denied issues (Thx Flar2). Due to changes to the way your settings are handled, it's recommended to make a full installation. Settings aren't retrocompatible with previous Glitch kernels !
- Performance and stability improvements by removing coresight from Adreno drivers and better CPU management/scaling through MSM Limiter
- Aroma slight changes to reflect internal changes (note : CPU uV is now applied for both 384MHz step and lower ones)
15/09/2015 - r361 :
- Fixed no mobile network issue on DEB
- Disabled unnecessary debugging
13/09/2015 - r360 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.17 changes
- Added Lazyplug hotplug driver by Arter97 (you may need to make a full installation if you want to switch to this driver)
- Updated F2FS
- Updated BFQ to v7r8
- Added experimental Nvidia relaxed power savings
- More fixes and various optimizations regarding performance and efficiency
09/09/2015 - r353 :
Note : CM related issues some are encountering aren't adressed with this update. CM team is breaking more and more stuff while using AOSP bases for the kernel and I won't make a CAF based version again. The updated toolchain and added fixes in this release may or may not help, but I won't provide support for CM related issues anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Fixed SELinux switches (You'll need to use the restore function in full package or just the restore package to switch between permissive and enforcing modes. Enabling it in glitch-settings.conf isn't enough for it to work.)
- Disabled Android Logger by default for less overhead
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.2.0 with LTO support
- Tiny fixes
02/07/2015 - r350 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.13 changes
- Fixed missing governors from previous release
- Added native support for Xbox One controller from Linux 3.17
- Fixed a potential instability case in idle state
- Updated base to linux 3.4.108
- Under the hood fixes
- CM and AOSP kernels are now sharing the exact same base for better stability and maintenance
08/05/2015 - Hotfix - r344 :
- Rolled back various GPU driver patches to fix some Chrome scrolling lockups and possible RR linked to the underlying bug linked to them
- Send enforcing=0 to kernel command line if you're using the permissive ramdisk mode (may fix boot on some non-standard roms - AICP still not booting for me though.. If you know why I'm all ears)
- Modify fstab.flo file in ramdisk even when using CM kernel (enables some non-standard CAF based roms with no "multi-mount fstab" support to boot - it mustn't exist, but better safe than sorry)
08/05/2015 - r343 :
- Merged with android-5.1.1_r0.10 changes
- Removed UKSM
- Disabled KSM
- Removed transparent compression support
- Replaced Flar2's S2W/DT2W by showp1984's DT2W
- Various F2FS changes from arter97 and Jaegeuk Kim
- Various backported drivers from arter97
- Updated Intelli-Plug

- Updated Intelliactive governor
- Fstab patching changes to fix boot on some non-standard roms
- Updated Random
- Updated toolchain to Linaro GCC 5.1.0 with LTO support
- Added LTO optimizations
19/04/2015 - r330 :
After breaking my partitions while attempting to improve F2FS mounting time, I was forced to format everything. After my backup restoration and system reinstallation, r327 F2FS implementation is now booting faster than EXT4 on my tab (with mounting times of ~5sec versus 30+ before). So I've then decided to revert the planned F2FS changes for r330 (which made it 1sec faster before formatting, but much slower after) as it didn't make sense. If F2FS mounting time is bothering you, fully formatting your partitions and restoring your data will give you a nice performance reward in return.
- Added flush_merge to F2FS mount options for faster flushing
- Added "transparent compression" support (CM sync)
- Added back optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
- Enabled back unaligned memory access
- Switched to SIO ioshed (from ROW) at boot time as well as others small tweaks for possible further boot time improvements and smaller file size
16/04/2015 - r327 :
- Merged with android-5.1.0_r0.10 changes
- Updated F2FS implementation using Motorola's sources
- Cleaned up permissive ramdisk patches (fixed related SODs with it enabled)
- Introducing "restore" builds. You can now update your Glitch setup without Aroma using these builds. Your settings will be restored from the SDcard backup made by a previous Glitch installation, so if you don't have a "glitch-settings.conf" file in the root of your SDcard, please use a full build first to generate it ! The "full" builds are using Aroma as before.
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.03
07/03/2015 - r320 :
THIS UPDATE WILL NEED YOU TO REINSTALL YOUR ROM AND TO MAKE A FULL INSTALLATION OF THE KERNEL IF YOU'RE COMING FROM A PREVIOUS GLITCH RELEASE
- Updated F2FS implementation and bumped to latest
- Various scheduler optimizations - Better hardware use means potentially lower max OC !
- Improved boot times (At least with EXT4. F2FS mounting time feels a bit longer with the updated F2FS implementation)
- Reverted Slimbus OC as some users got issues with it
- Removed some ramdisk mods interfering with permissions
- F2FS/EXT4 detection script rewrite to preserve rom's fstab structure
- Added another permissive switch to disable SELinux enforcing (it will be enabled if you tick the permissive patch in aroma)
- Removed wifi patch from Aroma as it's now useless with lollipop
- Added some security patches from CM source
- CM kernel rebased on Glitch AOSP (again) - Looks good after a few days of intensive use
- A few little glitchy tweaks
- Updated toolchain to Cortex A15 optimized Linaro GCC 4.9.3-2015.02
16/01/2015 - r307 :
- Disable wake gestures by default
- Fix for a little color tweaking bug
- Updated CAF variant for CM12 support & sync with Glitch AOSP r307
Note : r307-CM is NOT compatible with CM11. It must be used with CM12 only.
12/12/2014 - r306 :
- Added vmalloc setting to command line to fix some video playback issues. Thanks to @szale9001 for pointing this out !
16/11/2014 - r303 :
- Added Chainfire's partial root ramdisk patch by default
- Added cernekee's PIE patch to Aroma (allows third party native executables to run, lowering security. Fixes various apps)
- Added SELinux permissive + sepolicy ramdisk patch to Aroma (enables full root access but lowers security. Fixes various apps)
15/11/2014 - r300 :
- Updated AOSP kernel with lollipop-release - BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH 4.4.x due to GPU driver changes !
- Removed interactive GPU governor
- Merged GPU patches from codeaurora & franciscofranco for better responsiveness and battery life
- Cleanups
26/09/2014 - r226-disabledAVS :
- r226 variant with disabled AVS for users with recurrent instability issues. Higher power consumption than standard build when used without uV.
Follow up to this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55566837&postcount=1943
22/09/2014 - r226 :
- Added experimental support for Kali Pwn Pad (as it was requested by some - Thanks for the list Flar2 )
- Disabled compaction (a little higher RAM consumption for higher performances - Doesn't seem to affect multi-tasking in a negative way)
- Disabled MSM hardware adaptive voltage scaling (should fix the last remnants of SoDs/RR happening for some even on other kernels - May lead to higher power consumption) I will make a test build with it disabled for who wants to try in the next days
- Updated Faux Sound to 3.6
- Enabled more TCP congestion-avoidance algorithms

- Echo touch firmware version to logfile (/data/local/tmp/glitch-kernel.log)
10/09/2014 - r220 :
AOSP kernel only (CAF kernel will follow as soon as possible) :
- Rebase using latest Google source (fixing various bugs like SoD, random shutdown, slowdowns etc.) and staying on 3.4.0 base for now to prevent issues til I'm able to fix them all with latest Linux upstream
- Aroma Installer rework for less pages on fresh installation mode, similar to Flar2's presentation
- Added new options to Aroma installer
- Updated Flar2's S2W/DT2W system, enabling gesture support
- Replaced Showp1984's MPDecision by Fluxi's MSM Hotplug driver - new default
- Updated Faux123's Intelliplug hotplug driver as well as intellidemand & Intelliactive governors
- Updated/fixed Smartmax and Smartmax EPS (extreme power saving) governors
- Updated FauxSound
- Updated Flar2's msm_sleeper
- Added a backlight dimmer function
- Cleaned up/removed a vast amount of old patches
- Added release number to internal kernel naming so you know what version you're on
- Added a wlan firmware override setting in Aroma. This is basically the same as using 4.4.4 PRIMAtor to enable 4.4.3 or lower support or to fix wifi on a few roms that are using older wifi blobs
- Slight tweaking here and there
- Removed kernel-based NEON support - Needs more testing
- Switched to LZ4 kernel compression - Higher kernel size but faster boot times
- Updated toolchain to Cortex-A15 optimized Linaro 4.9.2 2014.08
05/07/2014 - r151 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Base update from Linux 3.4.86 to 3.4.96
- Removed some unnecessary Aroma pages for faster navigation
- Removed Qualcomm-Optimized Dalvik/Bionic from Aroma to prevent users from softbricks when used on incompatible ROM

- Added F2FS partition detection script to modify ramdisk accordingly at flash time. You will need to launch Aroma installer each time you change FS on supported partitions (DATA, CACHE & SYSTEM) to refresh the ramdisk configuration (you can restore your glitch settings to do that btw, no need to clean install). You can use all of them as F2FS, or just one, you decide.
- Enabled Intelliactive governor
- Added CTCaer's patch to restore forced TS firmware update sysfs
05/06/2014 - r147 :
AOSP kernel only :
- Merged with 4.4.3

- Switch to XZ compression
- Add kernel mode NEON support as well as NEON accelerated AES & XOR implementations
- Fix CPU load miscalculation
- jbd2 and ext4 optimizations

- Add dynamic management of dirty page writebacks
- Enable Wiimote HID support
- Enable USB printer support
- Bugfixes
Aroma installer overhaul :
- Reworked installation process to be clearer and more customizable
- Added an automatic backup of your settings to the root of your internal SDcard
- Added a restoration mode to get your settings from internal SDcard backup back on any rom (cross-compatible with Glitch kernel variants)
- Renamed /system/etc/settings.conf to glitch-settings.conf to make it more obviously glitchy
- Removed the need to set CPU OC, L2/cache OC and auto-uV again when keeping previous settings (now reading it from your settings at flash time. Note : editing this part in /system/etc/glitch-settings.conf requires a reflash using the "already glitched" option)
- Added Qualcomm optimized Dalvik/Bionic libraries into the installer (bionic only on CM variant) so you can install/restore them with the kernel
- Added I/O scheduler, CPU governor, read-ahead buffer size, fast charge, max screen off frequency and maximum multi-core power savings to available settings
- Fixed how the min CPU clock is applied to make it more robust and work better with governors
- Fixed how the min CPU freq uV is applied to make it work independently of the min freq (by subtracting the uV amount to the original voltage instead of forcing plain values) - Also, make it capable of setting uV for all freqs for future use.
- Changed the auto-uV menu to reflect the internal changes
- Fixed some permissions issues
- Added hotplug driver check so it's possible to restore it as well from settings without interference
- Change theme

- Improved GPU performance consistency
23/01/2014 - r130 :
- Faux123's LCD color control driver updated to Flo version (thanks to him to make it opensource), adding gamma control. (You'll need FauxClock to tweak it - color is still available from TricksterMod)
- Some GPU driver related bugfixes
- Implemented LoUIS API for cache maintenance operations
- Update base to Linux 3.4.77
- Revert some CAF updates (fixes some L2 corruption that could lead to random reboots / black screens)

- Some cleaning
CM kernel only :
- Fixed color control
- Fixed random heavy GPU performance drop
- Changed memory allocation to be in line with CM

Older changelogs are available here
Looks like a nice kernel that will really show what this device can do

Thanks.
That's what I'm trying to make. And I *think* (may be wrong though) I'm the only one yet using a fully working GPU OC implementation on flo kernel. It's an adaptation of Galaxy S IV's (i9505) GPU OC code from Team Hydra.
It seems 627 MHz is around the max possible with stock voltage, probably even 600 MHz for many. I'll see what it can do with a bit more juice.
Other things to do : add more frequency steps for the CPU, lock the default freq, and make the L2/bus speed configurable.
After that I think we'll be able to push the thing to the limits if we want to.
Thanks for your hard work I'm going to try it on pacman ROM I'll let you know how it goes

Touch responses phenomenal and just like faux kernel the sound is this did really well I can finally listened stock sound sucks on this product even know what has supposedly way better speakers, thanks to people like you I can actually hear the videos I watch without headphones now. Thank you very much I've been using it for about 5 minutes swimming around on everything and everything smooth as hell

The problem exists on the free app as well ^^
Try scrolling up and down away from the images and back on them, it'll eventually show up at some point.
Thanks for your work. I'll give this kernel a try.
Coming from N4 motley kernel I'll love to use init.d scripts to set up color "calibration", sleep states, etc. What do you think about implementing / documenting such features for your kernel?
Otherwise, let me see if I need something. Hm, what about USB OTG and ntfs/f2fs support?
USB OTG is working out of the box. NTFS/F2FS support isn't. I'll look into adding them =)
Your idea is nice, I'll think about it.
Thanks =)
Do you plan on adding Faux's color mod? I will give this kernel a shot and report back.

I am running the kernel right now. All I can say is "wow".
You did a fantastic job cherry-picking the best features from various kernels. I notice a slight increase in smoothness compared to Faux's kernel plus D2W and all the other great features you added so I think this may be my new main kernel.
I will use it over the next few days and report any issues I find and how the stability is. Thanks a lot for your work.
Edit: Also, I am running CleanROM and everything seems fine.
Thank you, so it may work with any rom then ! Good to know CM didn't break too much stuff leaving AOSP base.
sleep to wake, doubletap to wake disabled by default? don´t need it xD
need a fast stable kernel and especially want to disable fsynch. if u run a stable rom it justs takes useless power xD
i´m pretty new to the nexus7 like the most of us . is that kernel stable?
atm i´m using faux´s, also used franco. i dunno, but on franco´s i couldnt change gpu govenor and the 3dmark benchmark was about 3000points, stock is about 6000-7000. pretty strange.
i am a pretty minimalistic user, want best batterylife/performance ratio. only using psx, best rom for me
i think i´ll try that kernel
edit: what does "Snake Charmer" do?
edit2: read s2w stuff enabled by default, can it be disabled via trickster?
My N7 is running great with your kernel. Let's see what about perfomance and stability in two or three days. After checking and playing with trickster I miss a kind of dynamic fsync and a color calibration interface - compared to N4 m+ (motley) kernel.
Perhaps you can implement some upstream changes / patches directly from CAF or newer kernels.
It would be nice if you post some information about L2 speed hack, etc. So that everyone can see what this hacks do.

excellent!
I'll try it later.
I always flash PurePerformances™X mod after every nightlie and it feels somewhat faster after it. I did flashed it on all my devices.
Maybe you can insert it in your future builds.
Keep them coming !
LE: mod link fixed
Thanks for this... Will give it a shot!
For anyone wanting to try this.. So far so good here. Hasn't been running long enough to make any major comparisons yet. Clean flashed, so not sure about dirty flashing.
I installed it over nightly and it runs pretty well but the playstore icons bug is pretty bad.
For now I moved on to the next nightly but if you can fix that bug I will surely flash it again.

Don't pay attention to benchmarks....
If you want to meet or beat stock, just turn off thermal throttling, enable all 4 cores and set performance as the governor. Make it a fair comparison...
Finally a linaro build!! Keep up the great work! Could you modify the kernel too? Overclock cpu and gpu would be awesome...

I suppose we are talking about /etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf, /etc/thermal-engine.conf (symlinked to thermal-engine-8960.conf) and /etc/thermald.conf (symlinked to thermal-8960.conf) on cm builds. They seem to be using different set of values from stock.
Can't we not use these values/files directly-from/similar-to stock builds ? As the thermal engine libs and binaries we are directly picking from stocks ?
Is stock too aggressive or CM too defensive ?
Also noticed that these linked files are broken as well. (no thermal-engine-8960.conf and thermal-8960.conf). Some build script issues ?

I wasn't suggesting that you turn that off permanently, that's just what the stock ROM is most likely (automatically) doing when you run a benchmark. That's how you get a higher score, not how you have a better ROM...
My point being, don't worry about whether or not the scores are better, worry about the whole experience being better (which is very much is). On a phone of mine, CM was way more performant even though it scored less than half of stock's Quadrant score.

I agree benchmarks are just academic (and just nice-to-have). I was just suggesting that we could use same thermal configuration files as found in stock builds. Are these even the files that would affect benchmarks (thermal-engine*.conf and thermald*.conf) ? Are you suggesting that stock build just shuts off any kind of throttling as soon as it detects benchmark tests ? I thought only some devices did that and they got caught.
I am building with linaro 4.9 and have swapped out those conf files from stock. Lets see how it goes.

Been struggling with some adreno crashes on boot when using 4.9 toolchain. Earlier I thought it's the compiler optimizations not playing well with 4.9. But I run into same without any customizations -
Here's the logcat if anyone wants to take a look.
http://pastebin.com/eS0eHvzL
If I can't get around these in a day or two, we'll come back to 4.8 and carry on with other optimizations. I read somewhere the gibberish icons are fixed on newer play store.

Just posted another build with today's sources with both CPU and GPU overclocks. Had to go back to older 4.8 toolchain. The overclocks are running surprisingly stable on device.
The playstore icons issue is still not resolved. Its being discussed here. However, I am not too worried by it.

calm down bro, as far as i can see, beside some useful posts in the past, you are asking a lot, which often sounds demanding, for stuff, features, roms ; instead of doing a little research for already given answers, instead of carefully reading the threads and instead of testing the things own your own and sharing your experiences afterwards. This just leads to many unnecessary posts, which dilutes the important contents for everyone more and more (similar i explained to you before already). . and again the last 4 posts, including mine, would not have been necessary. That's my point and i dont like.
Thanks for new kernel. I just installed it.
@tycoo sorry for the question, but I didn't find something related to that, is there the color calibration script included? Thanks in advance for the kernel.
Works well.
Thanks.
Working great! Thanks a lot tycoo.
For those wondering, yes, this has colour calibration script.
Im going to try it with the latest build. Thanks.

changelog:
24/06/2017
- removed i/o scheduler switcher. The random reboot should be gone ( my j5 didnt have any reboot with i/o sched swither and neither without it, while being in idle though, as i'm not using it)
- fixed two permissions of powersuspend (0666 --> 0644)
- added @squid2's lionfish governor. It is supposed to be more battery friendly. Test and report your feedback.
- added sociopath tcp: "this is basically tcp reno with no slow start and a much more aggressive ssthresh recalculation (lowers it by 5% instead of 50%)"
- fixed 9 vulnerabilities
about doubletap2wake and sweep2sleep:
this new update was supposed to have dt2w and sweep2sleep. I've added them by using the commits from other kernel and they were working, both. However, there were some issues:
1) dt2w wasn't working on the full screen. Even after choosing "full" in kerneladiutor, i still had to double tap in the bottom of the screen (half) to wake it. When i was double tapping on the other half of the screen (top), it wasn't working.
2) i dont know if sweep2sleep is supposed to work only in the bottom of the screen, but that's how it was working. It was fine though.
3) phone wasn't going to deep sleep, even when both were off. This is the major issue and that's why i've removed dt2w and sweep2sleep. I don't really have the knowledge to fix that and i'm not willing to spend time for that. Those commits which i've picked has powersuspend hooks and i had to update powersuspend to v1.8.1 as that kernel. Perhaps this version of powersuspend wasn't working properly and that's why it was causing the phone to not go into deep sleep? I don't know...

09/05/2017
- added i/o switcher: A driver which change the i/o scheduler to noop automatically when screen goes off and restore the i/o scheduler which was set before when screen is on after 10 seconds
- silenced much more kernel logs
- re-enabled swap & zram
- added sys interface to configure linux printk logging (debugging purpose)
- added gpu time_in_state stats (similar to cpu stats)
- added quick wakeup driver: Allow kernel driver to do periodic jobs without resuming the full system. It should increase battery life.
- added toggles for gentle_fair_sleepers and arch_power
- tcp cubic fixes
- added sioplus, zen v2 and bfq schedulers
- enabled conservative governor
- fixed some memory leaks
- fixed a problem where reboot on android panics the kernel almost every time when file systems are mounted over loop devices
- updated power efficient workqueue + fixes; enabled by default
- added gpu governor whitelist to prevent you from enabling gpu governors which are unstable / incomplete (bw_hwmon, bw_vbif, gpubw_mon; all those 3 make the phone freeze once are enabled). Now when you try to enable those, it wont change anything.
- misc fixes and improvements

07/05/2017
- wifi module is now smaller as it should be (~40mb -> ~3mb)
- disabled some kernel logs
- disabled zram, swap and everything else related to swap
- allow 320k aac encoding
- misc fixes and improvements
- increased charge time from 30s to 100s when battery status is near full
(when charger is online for a long time, such as 12 hour, the battery status changes from charging to full and resumes charging.
The reason is that battery is not full at the first full state. So increse charge time from 30s to 100s when battery status is
near to full. This methods will reduce the number of recharging time)

- tweaks to improve i/o latency on ssd
- fixed few security vulnerabilities (such as dirtycow and quadrooter)
- many patches has been applied for faster i/o read / write
- governors are more friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads
- and other misc tweaks

16/03/2017
- reworked from scratch and based on caf source for more performance / smoothness (now i can clearly see a difference )
- updated gpu driver to mm source
- added crc toggle (enable / disable)
- enabled adaptive lmk by default and set vmpressure_file_min for msm8916 from caf
- disabled arch_power
- frezee bug is gone
- removed: Ota, kcal, soundcontrol, power efficient workqueues, zen governor, frandom
- removed also the ramdisk modifications as it may lower performance / smoothness. I might try again in future.

Just be patient.
I just started building it. It will be available soon.
Lollipop version is out
Lollipop version is out. You find the download links in first post.
Lollipop version has additional changes:
Code:
-built with AOSP 4.8 toolchain (if im using 4.9 the phone gets stuck at Galaxy J5 logo, not even bootanimation; i didnt take a logcat yet)
-disabled CPU L2 Cache during video sessions to save more power[B][COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR][/B]
-more security fixes[B][COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR][/B]
* The changes with asterisk were already present on Marshmallow kernel.
The flashable zip has 24/01/2017 date because Lollipop version was supposed to be released yesterday too. However, if you take a look at Settings > About phone or Kernel Adiutor you will see that the kernel was built today.
Im waiting for reviews. I wanna know if you encounter the same problem like me, mentioned at notes in first post at 2) .
Now i can resume to RR, to work on a final update. RR kernel will also have Tensei features and probably few other changes for improving the battery since CM is faster than Touchwiz.
Phone "feels" faster, but that could also just be a placebo.
The only bug I've found yet is that my camera froze once after double-tapping to open it, but that hasn't happened since.
Hello XDA .
Since kernel options are limited on our phones I decided to release my personal kernel builds for anyone who wishes to use it .
I am just an amateur kernel builder who can read commits and understands how linux generally works . I used to make kernels for the Galaxy nexus if anyone here remembers back that far lol .
Anyways . I started with android-msm-marlin-3.18-oreo-mr1 and added all the goodies back in .

As I said before :
- I do this for fun -- ( I am married and have 2 little kids and a full time job )
- This is my personal kernel ( I'm not looking for feature requests )
ALL credit should go to those who wrote the commits ( my commit history is correct in authorship )
FLASH INSTRUCTIONS :
- flash kernel.zip via TWRP recovery .
( This kernel should install over any ROM's stock boot.img // If you have another custom kernel installed besides this one then first flash the ROM's boot.img again before flashing this kernel )
- Grab Fire Extinguisher && Prepare for your phone to melt through the floor
- If previous step fails to happen : don't blame me

Hello XDA .
Since kernel options are limited on our phones I decided to release my personal kernel builds for anyone who wishes to use it .
I am just an amateur kernel builder who can read commits and understands how linux generally works . I used to make kernels for the Galaxy nexus if anyone here remembers back that far lol .
Anyways . I started with @DespairFactor 's Sharkey kernel source -- any base modifications that are in that kernel are present here .
- Patched to Linux 3.18.82
- Built with Linaro 4.9 GCC
- noop deadline cfq bfq test-io fiops sio sio+ tripndroid zen maple ROW
- all TCP controllers enabled
- Fingerprint Boost ( like touchboost for fp sensor )
- FSYNC control
- Force fast charge
- IO stats / Add Random disabled
- Gentle Fair Sleepers disabled
- KSM enabled and optimized
- Sound and color control from Sharkey kernel
As I said before :
- This is my personal kernel ( I'm not looking for feature requests )
- I am just a kanger -- ALL credit should go to those who wrote the commits
FLASH INSTRUCTIONS :
- fastboot flash factory boot.img via bootloader before flashing kernel.zip via TWRP recovery

The good ole days lol. You're going to like the pixel. Give dirty unicorns a flash if you get bored.
Would i be able to use flashfire to install if I'm just stock 8.0 rooted with no TWRP? Or am I just better off installing TWRP and using that instead?

I would say it should be safe to use flashfire , I personally use fastbooted TWRP to flash , just because usually I am by my laptop when flashing anyways. I don't have TWRP Installed on my phone. I'd say to be safe , have TWRP and a computer handy just in case [emoji39]
Also i haven't had any problems with this kernel booting stock Oreo with root . I've been using a variation for weeks now and so far so good .

Cool I'll give it a shot later tonight, thank you
Smitty I know you aren't taking request but maybe the unlocked bootloader safety net patch? If you included that I would actually give Oreo a whirl. Haven't even used it lol

It should be included .
Remove verifiedbootstate flag from proc/cmdline
https://github.com/bsmitty83/marlin/commit/6fac65585e1b04fa27561aba24b2762f0f1f8b0a
If your needing Android pay , it crashes for me with superSu and suhide , but I really didn't mess with it because I don't use it much if ever. I mean it's nice , but it's just as fast using my debit card .

Thank you Smitty!
Just gotta find the time too setup the sdk on my new PC
I'm intrigued by this kernel but I can't find any information on what's included in the kernel its built on? Could anyone help me find this information please?

the base kernel source is used for Uberstock ROM
(I used the Oreo branch instead of the Nougat branch though.)
--based on msm-kernel-3.18.52-oreo-R3 . It included wake/sleep gestures sound control the linaro optimization flags some of the IO-schedulers ( BFQ zen SIO and FIOPS . Also color control as well as a few other performance related commits .
I added the rest .

Thanks for sharing because you're right, there is not a lot for us to flash to our devices. But I guess that's the price of stability. Going to take NSFW for a spin.

yeah I agree . Plus the OP3 development seems to be much more active .
But thats ok since there are so many devices using the same SOC and kernel version there lots of features for me to import to try to keep this phone as current as possible .
And for me reading the linux 3.18 MSM kernel source is much easier than OMAP4 linux 3.0 lol. what a mess .....
Enjoy . hope it runs well for you . I shoud have a new version out soon . I added the Adreno Idler driver and pushed up to linux 3.18.83
also added the blu_active governor . testing it out now
OP Updated with current features and I uploaded a new version .
Updated to Linux 3.18.83
Added adreno gpu idler driver
Added blu_active CPU gov
Added io scheduler switch
Few commits for performance and USB
Happy flashing ....

Thank you! Going to give this a flash!
Set blu_active, any suggestions on Governor options? Or should I use all default.
Thanks in advance!
