PLEASE READ THE FULL POST BEFORE FLASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I present to you a kernel that I have been working on to give us J7 owners a better experience, which I have named Afterburner.
Before I begin, this will void your warranty, as with any other ROMs/kernels/etc. I will NOT be held responsible for anything that goes wrong from flashing this kernel such as your phone breaking or catching fire/ etc etc.
Anyways, this is ONLY FOR J7 2015 devices and TouchWiz based Nougat roms!!!!!!!!
Installation
Download to your sdcard or external sd card then reboot to recovery.
Go to "Install" in TWRP and then browse to the location you downloaded it to. Once there, click on the zip file you downloaded and swipe to flash. You will be greeted with a screen that tells you the kernel version and date, touch Next. Now you will come to the install options. Select the options you wish to install (Permissive, init.d, and busybox). ALSO, IF YOU HAVE A J700H MODEL PHONE (3G version) THEN SELECT THE J700H OPTION, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE BUGS!! Now, select next and you will come to the root options screen. Select whether to install supersu, magisk, or no root. Select Install, then set back and wait. Once it's done select next. Finally, if you want to return to TWRP(Recovery) then uncheck the reboot option and touch Finish, otherwise just touch Finish to reboot. Your device will bootloop once (with supersu) or so then will boot. The first boot after installation will take a while. Enjoy!!!!!
If the kernel won't boot then go into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache then reboot and wait... It will boot, I promise
I will be updating as I add features.
Downloads are in second post!!
Changelog
v17.11.03.4
-Added a LOT of I/O schedulers
-Removed a few governors because they caused random reboots
-Rewrote the CPU hotplug to use CPU load instead of frequency for better accuracy when to turn CPUs on or off. It is now a little closer to stock, but when turning off cores it will turn off the least busy CPU first (So, yes when your kernel app tells you that CPU0,1, and 7 are on and the rest are off it's not a bug!!)
-Fixed some powersuspend bugs
-This update should dramatically improve performance, especially in games
v17.10.15.11
-Added LZ4 compression and enabled in pstore and ZRAM (Makes memory management a little faster)
-Added power suspend driver (finally) and make all included governors use it
-Created a universal way for governors to calculate CPU load and incorporated into all governors
-Added deadline I/O scheduler
-Added Intelliactive and Pegasusq governors and removed Hyper governor, as it lagged pretty bad
-Intelliactive and Interactive governors as well as the CPU hotplug driver now take GPU load into consideration when speeding up or slowing down (or hotplugging in/out CPUs)
-Hotplug driver also takes CPU load into consideration using the same load calculations as the governors
-GPU settings have been adjusted to save a little battery
-Westwood now the default TCP congestion algorithm (Should speed up internet a little)
-Many bug fixes (behind the scenes) as well as optimizations
v17.9.30
-GPU overclocked to 800mhz from 668mhz!!!! Enjoy smoother performance in games and touchWiz
-wq_power_efficient enabled by default, saves on battery
-Many, many, configuration changes in the kernel to optimize performance and battery life
v17.9.17
-Fixed the governor driver and added zzmoove, hyper, and performance governors. (zzmoove is great for battery. That governor combined with the changes I made in the CPU hotplug gave me 5 hours of screen-on time with 56% remaining on Hyperion v1!!!!!!!!!!)
-Fixed the custom CPU hotplug, during screen off the CPU is only supposed to run 2 cores, before it was running 7 because of a mistake I made in the code, now it works properly and the battery improvement reflects this.
-Changed the way the custom CPU hotplug decides to turn on or off cores, as well as fixed a bug from samsung regarding the same code.
v17.9.10
-Changed version number system to the build date
-Fixed private mode
-Fixed battery indicator while charging with phone off
-Updated Linux version to 3.10.107
-Changed the way my Afterburner hotplug works. Now while the CPU is under load it will turn on 2 CPUs at a time and when the load settles it will turn off 1 at a time, which seems to give a bit of a performance boost
-Updated Magisk to v14
-I'm sure there's more I forgot...
v1.0.0
-Option to install either supersu or magisk root or have no root at all
-CPU Overclocked to 1.7GHz (Improves performance) and underclocked to 300MHz (Improves battery)
-GPU underclocked to 160MHz (Improves battery)
-CPU undervolted (Improves battery)
-Custom cpu core hotplugging allows down to 2 cores running (as opposed to 4 stock), with the ability to hotplug 2 cores at a time (compared to 4 stock) (Improves battery)
-Kernel configuration highly customized to remove knox, tima, and logging that isn't used by 99% of people (Improves performance and battery)
-Custom ramdisk with bloat removed (such as knox and files meant for emulators)

Finally afterburner to nougat, thank you for your hard work bro
already flashed, do you know how i can use cpu no frills?
it doesn't work in this phone, i don't know why
Great job bro already flashed it on Hyperion v2 but you forgot to support private mode i dont mind that but some people will does i think
Great to see you still contributing a lot with providing your awesome work.
Nice work @daishi4u !!
Gr8 work bro
Love ur work??
Nice work, thanks!
Awesome work Bro, no random reboots this time, happy enough, thanks for your all of your hard work
Thanks...but not support private mode

When are you going to add governors to the kernel?
I think there is a bug. There is no charging sceeen when phone is turning off. I'm using hyperion.
Can someone double check if it's just me with this bug?
My phone cut off and went into a bootloop. To only realize that my battery was dead, but while it was off and connected to the charger, the percentage was staying at 1% and not increasing. I had to reflash hyperion v2 to get back it's kernel and then it started charging. Please fix cuz I did feel a difference with this kernel

I wonder if the phone charges when it's turning off. There're circumstance your batery totally running out. If it doesn't charge when turning off, I think our phones are dead.
Hi @daishi4u - I have random spike of cpu temperature, up to 55 degrees!
They last like 40s, the all goes back to normal for the next half hour.
Maybe the 1.7ghz is a bit much ?
Am using Revolution OS nougat rom.
I think hyperion rom contains same kernel. Is it the same or do I need to re-flash this new one.
????
Good to hear that we still have Afterburner support
Thanks for your work and time...

For more, check changelogs from post 2.
Info about some mods:
1.4Ghz Overclock + UV. Kept Qualcomm's frequencies table as proved to have less battery drain for some reason.
The undervoltaging is max -50mV on most frequencies, as to avoid error corrections from low voltage (errors in calculations increases drain a lot) and also to avoid cpu halts. Needs further investigating for lower values.
Now using aire's values, the best for battery for over a year.
11mb ram freed from camera and adsp pmem. This came from many tests that showed that when taking 8mp pictures, 720p video (w/ or w/o stabilizer), playing 720p video with hw decoding and hw audio decoding audio, the used pmem was max 42MB for camera pmem and 6MB for adsp. Can be freed 7-8Mb more but didnt do it for stability reasons under multimedia multitasking.
That also shows us that the stabilizer lag in camera doesn't come from the pmems. I'll try to check the camera sources and see if it's driver related.
If you find anything strange with anything that use the camera or the DSP tell me and please provide logcat logs.
Triple Buffering. At last some JB goodies to us using stock. This gives great UI and game Frame rates (tested). It uses the normal mode (as we don't have the vsync sync pulse like JB, which also auto disables it when not needed), and that means that it doesn't introduces slight lag to input. In games if you see something strange though please reply in this thread.
Random Entropy Generator. Fixes and tweaks to random generator. And also to binfmt_elf, no more entropy depletion through using shell, scripts and generally any binary. Say no to blocking random, and enjoy a smoother UI.
Now with frandom for 50x more performance.
Governors/IO scheds. No bloating here. Kept only the best for battery and performance.
The default ones are the highly optimized. If you have some tweaks for all schedulers that will increase battery and performance (always in balance), don't hesitate to tell me.
Key reset. You can reboot your phone when kernel halts or something brought your phone to its knees by pressing
Power + Home for 5s. Don't do it just for restarting it fast! This does not good to your filesystem because they can't sync,
so you can lose changes made the last seconds. Also after initiating it you don't have to press both buttons for the remaining 4s.
In 2.8 the combination is Power + Home + Volume Up for 5s.
Twrp and Cwm differences. TWRP and CWM are both recovery apps but use different apis.
CWM use nandroid backup and TWRP uses it's own.
CWM uses and old recovery API (v2) and TWRP use the newest recovery API 3
That means that you can't use a backup made with cwm in twrp, and vice versa.
In TWRP, some flashable zip will not work, until they have a newer update-binary (that supports API 3).
(That's the one provided by Team Win: update-binary-3)
If you want other info, again write here. And last but not least the kernel version number 0.8a doesn't mean that's beta. The kernel right now is highly optimized and working. The version just means that I'll try many things more to make our phone better.
Thanks:
wedgess for his great Lupus kernel sources.
aire and vdsirotkin for their great kernels that i used for many months at both GB and ICS.
DooMLoRD Well you all know why
thomas1991_12 and championswimmer for help and twrp binary accordingly
And to all Freexperia Project members for their great patches and fixes to our phones.

DISCLAIMER for sharing outside xda:
It got to my attention that the kernel is shared in many boards outside xda
and especially in many Asian ones. It's fine to make a complete copy of OP and changelog,
I don't mind, but you have to provide a link to this thread.
Also, the most important, please use my links for kernel binaries. If you don't do this, I can't see usage stats of my kernel.
That's why I use mediafire. It's fast, supports multiple connections, no wait time and is usable in every country.
Downloads and Sources:
Main Version:
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.4GHz + UV
or
CTCaer Kernel 2.8.2 UKSM special version
The special version may not work for you, cause of lower voltages. After 20 sept, i'll do proper releases.
Vdd Version:
DISCLAIMER: I will not provide help on reboots and bootloops on 1.6GHz + VDD control version.
It's here for people that need 1.6ghz and voltage control only. Default speed is 1.0Ghz.
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.6GHz + VDD control
If you want to use usb storage, ntfs and more you can flash these modules (if not, they are optional):
Modules for CIFS, NTFS, FUSE and USB Storage v2 ** Updated **
The updated modules bring: Updated cifs,fuse,ntfs,usb-storage and adds nls_utf8 for Unicode support, plus oprofile for people that want debugging.
CTCaer Kernel needs stock wifi modules. If you changed them, flash this:
Stock .13 WiFi modules
If you came from a kernel that you had to flash custom modules, use the flash zip above to have the stock ones again.
Some kernels, like Lupus, change the modules on their own, by just flashing the kernel and powering on the phone.
The original with Lupus are moved in /system/lib/modules.old.
Info for going back from Lupus
Many thanks @arcatarc for providing the flashable update zip.
Old Versions:
CTCaer Kernel v2.7 1.4GHz + UV

For v2.7,2.8 check v2.8 branch, because currently, I don't have time to push commits one by one.
For compiling, I used Linaro 4.7.3 and ctcaer_urushi_defconfig (1.4GHz+UV) and ctcaerVDD_urushi_defconfig (1.6GHz+Vdd)
If you liked my kernel click THANKS!
Changelog:
Older:
v0.8a:
*Initial Release.
v0.9 (renamed to v2):
*Added 1.6Ghz (UVed)
*Removed Ondemand
*Added OndemandX cpu scheduler
*Added CFQ i/o scheduler
*Removed autoroot
*Changed ro.secure to 0 for rooted ADB on default
*More ram (because of ramdisk's reduced size)
*Fixed Kernel Samepage Merging startup.
*Reduced freq to 1Ghz for kernel booting (to avoid 1.6ghz's drain). Comes back to 1.4Ghz for at bootanimation.
*Some more ramdisk changes
v2.5:
*New logo. SE strikes back with energy logo
*Deep undervolting. Thanks to Intuki for providing aire's values
*Fixes to binfmt_elf. No more random entropy depleting through using cat, ls and well every binary and script.
*Random entropy generator tweaks. I scream more UI smoothness
*Enabled cpu group scheduling
*Better pmem (updated to 2.6.35.x. For full changelog: pmem patch)
*Removed unused modules and some non-usefull debugging for a lighter Kernel
*Fixes to memory leaks on the networking side
*Fixes to android binder
*Usb network tethering support
*Added ipsec tunneling support
*Fix to cpufreq. Now you can see available frequencies through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
*Removed KSM because after so many days nothing in our phone calls it
*Tweaks to ramdisk for faster boot
v2.51:
*Reverted pmem code to stock to fix broken adsp for videos. Sorry about that :/
*Known bug on 2.50-.51: Unstable 1.6ghz because of low voltage.
v2.52:
*Added 1.5ghz and stabilised 1.6ghz more
*Changed PATH variable at boot end so busybox is not taken from /system/bin or xbin
*Increased 720p vidc default input buffer for smoother video playback
*Fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reusedimmediately
MIUI compatibility:
*Added MIUI shelld service (stock based roms are not affected by this), thanks to stillka
*Reverted binder patches
v2.6:
*Split kernel to 2 versions:
1.4GHz with Undevolting
1.6GHz with Vdd (voltage) control
*More Undervolting to lower frequencies for even better battery for main version. (3 days test showed 1% per 7hours with gsm+wifi on+widget updating every 1 hour)
*Stabilized higher frequencies.
*frandom implementation inside kernel. No need for module. It's 10-50 times faster than random/urandom
Replaced random and urandom with frandom and erandom. No need for apps to do that and it's done at boot so no app or process use the old ones.
(For ramdisk modders: the script is in /sbin/bootrec. You need it for frandom replacement before android boots.)
*Enabled bfq i/o scheduler cgroup
*Fixed PATH variable for good. Now it will report the right busybox in scripts and apps that can't use their own path.
*Tweaked cgroup values for background apps and more
*Enabled memory suspend deep power down. (This will do nothing for roms that can't use it, or without a script calling it)
*Enabled scheduler tunables (like sched_latency_ns, sched_wakeup_granularity_ns and more). Here's a good read about them: sysctl scheduler tunables
Tuning them will provide some more boost to your ray. Have in mind results are different from system to system and different workloads.
v2.7:
*Default scheduler is now SIO for nand and sd
*More total ram (4MB)
*Tweaks and fixes to msm_fb and mdp, for optimized and faster rendering plus less ram usage.
*Optimizations in memory management
*Updated LMK to the latest aprl-2013 version and added some tweaks
*Updated to a more optimized Compaction
*Optimizations to RCUTiny
*Optimized smartassv2 and added Boost pulse
*Added ROW scheduler, thanks to @kast
Experimental!
(Also some optimizations from the k3.4 version are missing for now)
Any benchmark on SIO vs ROW are welcomed.
*Performance optimisations on SIO and Deadline i/o schedulers
*Updated CFQ i/o scheduler
*Reordered functions in input driver for faster touch responce
*Removed Superbad and Lulzactive to lessen the kernel threads and free ram
*Kernel decompressor optimazations to Lzo
*Added Reset by pressing Power+Home keys for 5s
Only use it when you have to. (example: kernel halt) Don't make it your new reboot way!
*Made vibrator worqueue's priority higher to lessen the lag in big cpu load
*Added compact mem per node
*Fixed performance calculation in vidc (video codec)
*Enable Fsync
*Protect a proccess from killed by LMK far too many times

I'll consider it. I'll maybe add one with 1.6ghz or with one capped at boot at 1.4ghz. Will see
How i wish their is interactiveX & CFQ. ehehe
From the features it seem a really good kernel(i like the fact it use stock wifi modules too),tnx,but i have some questions:
1)It is undervolt embedded in kernel?
2)Can you make a version without autoroot (or can i modify your ramdisk to use in my rom)?
Tnx in advance and keep the good workin..
Sweet candy, baby! Sounds AWESOME! Flaaaashing immediately! OMG, LOL!
Triple Buffering=project butter?
OK flashed, looks promising. I am on Zelly Cream and superuser doesn't start. What now?
EDIT: Cleaned dalvik, cache, fix permissions, cleared data on superuser app. SuperSU also not able to update binary. Sorry if it's a stupid situation.

It was in my intentions to add CFQ but forgot to re add the kernel flag. Have in mind that cfq maybe is one of the most configurable io scheds but bfq does a better job in fairness (because it's an improved cfq).
As for interactiveX I'll review it.

1) Yep to avoid reboot problems. (even in stock voltages and configurable vdd for example, my ray reboots.)
I'm open though to suggestions about levels. In the next days I'll play a little with the current_now and try some new voltages until i find the
sweet spots before the error corrections begin. Also if for example 750mV has the same drain with 800mV I will keep the 800 one for stability. No need for extreme undervoltaging.
2)Well to be true I didnt wanted to included but many ppl need that feature from the kernel. If will remove it? Dont know yet.
But for sure you can edit the ramdisk. Just comment out the autoroot service in init.rc or delete the autoroot.sh in /sbin.

Yep. Well almost. It's what the project butter is based off.
Until now (testing it for 8days) it does a good job and the UI feels a looot better.
Need some tests from games though. I heard that triple buffering made some glitches in xperia T JB. If it's kernel related maybe i can add the patch to our sources.

Well it's not. The superuser is the latest 3.2 and does not have update ability (the button that says update is cosmetic and version informative). The autoroot script is copying the superuser and the su. You are ready to go.
Also no need for wipes. If something doesn't work it has nothing to do with caches.

Well, it seems its about time I release one of the most awaited thing (after a long long time) for this device.
Presenting you with a piece of real dev (kinda), Zapdos Kernel.
Features
Compiled from source.
Compiled using ARM official toolchain (4.4.3).
Bootable on ALL firmwares. This removes the distinction between 'old' and 'new' firmwares.
Swap Support. You got that right, swap support on your favorite ROM, regardless of it being 'old' or 'new'.
CPU Frequency Scaling. Apps like CPU-Z and others will now show more details than ever.
1400 Mhz Overclock.
Governors enabled.
More Governors added.
CPU Idle Power Management Support.
More CPU Frequencies.
Modified Voltage table for better battery life. [UPDATE]
Settings -> Battery, will now show battery usage by apps too. Partially fixed in v2.0 Update.
More I/O Schedulers.
Dynamic Read Ahead Support.
Dynamic Fsync v2.0. Gives massive boost in I/O Performance, and is reflected in benchmark. (Thanks to Faux123)[UPDATE]
Added Double Tap 2 wake feature.
Added bunch of TCP Congestion Controls.
Added Mali GPU profiling.
Based on gzip compression method.
Insecured boot.
Easy root enabled.
Bunch of corrections.
Uses Custom boot splash.
Added VR I/O Scheduler. [NEW]
Added Zen I/O Scheduler. [NEW]
Added TripnDroid I/O Scheduler. [NEW]
Added FIFO I/O Scheduler.[NEW]
In-app updates. [NEW]
Disabled Gentle Fair Sleepers. [NEW]
Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased.. [NEW]
NOATIME and NODIRATIME by default. [NEW]
Disabled CRC check. [NEW]
Optimized SLUB. [NEW]
Optimized Square root algorithm. [NEW]
No dirty things in kernel version. [NEW]
Bugs/Glitches
It is highly likely to experience bugs and glitches, because CPU frequency is enabled. Samsung had disabled it for stability issues.
After reboot, battery remaining value drops drastically, but will increase back eventually to normal, its a glitch, not a bug.
Attaining CPU frequency scaling like other Android Phones is difficult, real-time CPU Frequency scaling isn't possible because, if tried, results in crash.
Broken battery usage by all apps after overclock. Partially fixed in v2.0.
DoubleTap2wake is experimental, it sometimes does not work by name (i.e you need to tap more than 2 times, but it will work for sure).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I tried/want to try this, but I have some doubts....
A. You are reading the right post, find your queries below, if not post it.
Q. Nice work dude, thanks....
A. Well, XDA has done a great job in reducing a man's effort of typing 6 letters to just a click on a button called 'Thanks Button'. Didn't they?
Q. Can I use it in my ROM/MOD ?
A. Sadly, NO, sorry. Since the sources have been provided, also kernel may cause problems when flashed after ROM, so its is not recommended to include it in a ROM. But you can obviously refer others to this kernel.
Q. Will this work on GT-S5280?
A. Well, since I don't have that variant, and since its a kernel, I would say not to try this on GT-S5280. And hence, No.
Q. What version of CWM do I need to use?
A. 6.0.2.8 or 6.0.3.7 only, no CWM v5.
Q. I tried this kernel out of excitement, but now realized that it was not for my phone.........?
A. May God Bless You.
Q. What are the features/speciality of the kernel?
A. First, read the 1st post. Second, get/change your spectacles.
Q. Will this work on XYZ Firmware/ROM for GT-S5282?
A. Hell Yeah!!
More Q/A will be added eventually.
If you can't find, post your queries here.

Reserved for kernel tweaks and settings
To get the most out of this kernel, install ThunderZap Control App by @varun.chitre15
FREE Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varun.thunderzapcontrol
PAID Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varun.thunderzapcontrolpro
**Note - DO NOT try to mirror this app. If you want to download use Google Play Store only. If you want to share, share the links given above. DO NOT upload the app to any 3rd party hosting site. You have been warned.
In this app, various sections can be accessed by swiping from left edge to right.
CPU Section
Governors - Use smartassV2. You can use ondemand to get the core running at 1400Mhz.
You can adjust max and min frequencies too. Always keep max frequency 1000 Mhz or above.
Memory Management Section
I/O Schedulers - Use any, unless more are added.
Always keep the Dynamic Fsync option on (layout issue there, but blue means on).
You can play with other options too, instructions are mentioned there.
Network
Use any control, I would recommend Westwood. (Layout issue there again).
Don't forget to enable set on boot, can be found in settings.
DoubleTap2Wake
An update to this app should bring double tap to wake toggle under Special Section (And that is why I highly recommend to use this app). But for now -
Install Terminal Emulator - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Run the app, and then type -
Code:
su
echo 1 > sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
It can be done using adb shell too.
Run Antutu benchmark, and feel the difference.
Will be updated as per kernel.

Nope, I compiled it using ARM toolchain as they had asked to. But I plan to switch to Linaro Toolchain.
And I am not sure whether it will boot CM 10.1 (chances are there though). But it boots perfectly on all stock ROMs.

Off-topic: Fixing multitasking for crappy TouchWiz and enable zRAM
Multitasking:
First, open your build.prop, find the lines starting with:
Code:
sys.config.samp
or
Code:
sys.config.spcm
Remove all of them, and then add these lines:
Code:
ro.config.dha_cached_max=16
ro.config.dha_cached_min=8
ro.config.dha_empty_max=32
ro.config.dha_empty_min=8
ro.config.dha_empty_init=32
Enabling zRAM
Find these lines:
Code:
#ro.config.zram.support=true
#ro.board_ram_size=mid
Remove all the hash on top of the lines, then save build.prop, restart your phone. Done!
Seems like this phone isn't too famous like original GP yeah :silly:

Yes I also notice the graphics lags of the kernel, probably is from Mali driver. Stock also does that too. I'll try to add frequency controller if I can
And for OC, maybe it isn't needed, since it just kill your battery worse. Mostly the CPU will run at 1,2GHz instead of maximum 1,3GHz (well for some situations like gaming, it runs on maximum freq)

Please , brother to increase graphics performance and the overclocking CPU is fine, but please increase graphics performance or make overclocking the GPU and this is perfect please thanks brother, you are the best,great job
I think I'll ask mods to move all of the G530H threads to original development section, because in a few hours, this thread will be burried down, and no one will see it until they choose to open the whole development section
have any news of CyanogenMod for this model?
Kernel Is Good but not stable
Excellent implementations of battery saving tweaks :laugh:
Lost only 3% during 8 hours on standby at night , :good:
However It compromises between performance for more battery . . .
There's lags more than stock

======================================
Cluster Plug
Cluster Plug is a hotplug, and like any other hotplug, it controls which cores should be turned on and off based against rules defined by it's algorithm. Cluster plug deactivate the small clusters (the LITTLE cores) and utilize only the big clusters (the big cores), which should lead to better smoothness (and even performance, especially single threaded as it utilizes only the big cores which has better single thread performance due to it having a higher clock speed - and single threaded performance are usually more important to what most people do). This, however, does not mean the LITTLE cores are never activated, they do, and they do only when the load & tasks the CPU is handling requires it i.e intensive multi-threaded performance maybe like image editing and maybe heavy multitasking where many cores will affect performance. As such, it should do a great job balancing performance and battery life, because the performance comes from the big cores, and the battery savings from the LITTLE cores being deactivated, not drawing much, if any, power at all.
I disabled this by default though, but you can control it via a file explorer in the directory
/sys/module/cluster_plug/parameters/active/
... and changing the value from 0 to 1
If you want convenient control ie on/off of Cluster plug right off Kernel Adiutor, you can create one in the Custom Controls tab in Kernel Adiutor :
1) Create the control as a switch (click on the + icon first)
2) Under the "Enabled" part, write :
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ "`cat /sys/module/cluster_plug/parameters/active`" == "0" ]; then
echo 0
else
echo 1
fi

3) Under the "Applying" part, write :

echo "1" > /sys/module/cluster_plug/parameters/active
else
echo "0" > /sys/module/cluster_plug/parameters/active
fi

4) Hit that "TEST" button
5) A tick floating button appears, click it

*Thanks to @ivy.lally for pointing out the previous problems with the above code :highfive:
AutoSMP
A hotplug driver that works in-sync with the CPU governor to enable off-line cpu cores when the the CPU frequency reaches a high threshold and still more compute power is needed. Below is some tunings made by others :

wlan.ko
The Prima WLAN module used by the phone in order for wireless networking (wifi) to function at all. This module is compiled together with the compilation of the kernel - so the WLAN module used in, let say version 8, would not work with, let say again, version 6. Within the .zip file already contained the required wlan module (wlan.ko).
If you so happen to want to revert back to a version of SkyMelon where the wlan.ko is not included i.e the versions that is installed without a .zip file, then this should help : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4nj3MjAx2wIVTFOX0p6Vk9IaWs/view?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1) Download that wlan.ko in the link above
2) Copy and place it at /system/lib/modules/
3) Set permission to rw r r
4) Reboot
5) Wifi should be working now.

Works well on my E2353. The brightness slider is the only problem I need to fix for this version (it's still funky, I actually made it more funky x-x. Adaptive brightness seems to counter the problem). If adaptive brightness isn't turned on, the brightness slider can be funky as said in the post.

Ok Bro i test it but cant see any changes in kernel, IO Scheduler is ROW And Read Ahead is 128!!
And Apdative Brights Work good, i think Kernel not Flashed on My Device
And For Fastboot need to press Volume + or UP bro
Yeah except for the Adaptive brightness issue. it's good so far. good work man, If you will be updating this kernal we will test this. We should optimize all 8 cores in order to get most out of this device. Keep it up guys. :good::good::good::good::good:

No just MM.
Hello,
With the time will be there an option to flash kernel to MM with locked bootloader?
And if it will, is there any option to get root on MM for E2312 with this kernel in future?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, no... I really doubt any of this development projects would work on locked bootloader...
I heard there's an universal TA backup for the Xperia devices - with that you can relock your bootloader so your warranty might still be valid.
If your bootloader unlock says no, maybe try going into developer option and check OEM Unlocking (worth a shot, may not work but worth a shot - safe anyway in case you're wondering)
This kernel is prerooted already btw.
Fast charge not worki, i tested it on usb doctor, current is same like before >=1.4A.

Welcome to hadesKernel
Some personal thoughts:
- this kernel works only on J5 2015 versions. I`m not responsable for what can happen if you flash on other devices.
- v2.3 for J5 already includes all the previous things from A5 releases.
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- bug reports without device variant and logs can't be considered bugs - make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work.

FAQ:
Q: My wifi is broken after flash. What to do?
A: Flash latest modem available for your device.
Q: Can`t connect to wifi network. What to do?
A: Reboot the phone, reboot the wifi router/ap, make sure you don`t have mac filtering enabled on ap/router.
Q: MAC adress has changed. What to do?
A: There is nothing you can do. That happens because of newer wifi module, built along with kernel, from the latest sources. If you can`t connect see Q2 above. I won`t change back to legacy wifi modules, at least not now.
Q: Device appears as "unauthorized" in adb and notification to authorize doesn`t appear. What to do?
A: Enter developer options, disable usb debugging, wait 30 seconds and re-enable it. Now you should see the notification to allow debugging.
Q: loading
A: loading

Great .
Fast Kernel, Stable. (First really good kernel for J5)
From the tester to this build your kernel has worked perfectly. (Commenting here your tester)
My new rom with your kernel is amazing.
Cheers! :highfive:
Thanks @corsicanu ..
I'm using this kernel on my Stock 6.0.1 rom & I must say that this is one of the best kernels for J5.. Its very fast & stable..
Thank You So Much..

Hi @By Zonik ..
Waiting for your rom (v2) bro..
Some q's
Fast charge as in fast charge?? Does our present kernels support that, beacause it's pretty slow.
Any plans to follow it up for a non touchwiz based rom??
does it support skies rom beta ??

Does the kernel work well with a single processor at the frequency of 50Mhz?
If you set a different GPU frequency to 720Mhz when the GPU is at 100%, is the Max frequency set or rising to 720 ignoring the set frequency? ?
Finally something interesting for the lands of the J5
For me the link doesnt work i just get this:

I will quote my friend @Bulgaricus for this
...we force supporting devices such as laptops and desktops that have fast charge to provide the quick charger to our phone.
I will see what can be done in the future for non touchwiz.

I added 50Mhz for some certain scenarios, to step down the freq if the load is small - screen on but idle (i have screen timeout set to 10mins), or screen off and awake (for AOD on the roms that have it-my rom for A5). Anyway i have custom script in ramdisk that bypasses stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh and sets custom loads for all the frequencies, so the device can go down even to 50Mhz, but step up if the load is reached, so it doesn't lag at all.
About gpu - from what i saw it sticks to maximum set (i use kernel adiutor).
I mostly cherry-picked features and fixes, even from your j5(6) kernel [emoji16] since all are based on same soc. This project started as personal kernel, permissive with otg enabled (because A series has OTG disabled by Samsung), and after that decided to add more things and make it public.
Cheers!

You can see the GPU frequency in real time by using these commands in Terminal (PC):
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/devices/soc.0/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/devfreq/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0
while true; do cat trans_stat; busybox sleep 0.1; done
1) The path may be different.
2) The current GPU frequency is the one with the asterisk.
3) Total transictions means the total switches between GPU frequencies.
Try these commands to confirm that the GPU frequency is stuck at 720.
We can bring the current fast charging also on custom roms or even improve the fast charging to support custom mAh and stuff like that. But forcing a battery to charge faster than it's limit can demage and reduce the battery life drastically so I think we will leave it just like that. Greetings

...we force supporting devices such as laptops and desktops that have fast charge to provide the quick charger to our phone.
I will see what can be done in the future for non touchwiz.
From what i know Skies Rom is based on touchwiz so it will work. Test and report.
Just wait more or refresh the page.
I added 50Mhz for some certain scenarios, to step down the freq if the load is small - screen on but idle (i have screen timeout set to 10mins), or screen off and awake (for AOD on the roms that have it-my rom for A5). Anyway i have custom script in ramdisk that bypasses stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh and sets custom loads for all the frequencies, so the device can go down even to 50Mhz, but step up if the load is reached, so it doesn't lag at all.
About gpu - from what i saw it sticks to maximum set (i use kernel adiutor).
I mostly cherry-picked features and fixes, even from your j5(6) kernel [emoji16] since all are based on same soc. This project started as personal kernel, permissive with otg enabled (because A series has OTG disabled by Samsung), and after that decided to add more things and make it public.

I know, that you have cherry pick from me?
I also found something interesting in your code
Referring to the intelli thermal, I do not know why faux124 used a different thermal control for the TSEN8974. I found that version 1 gives some errors in the logcat when I boot up the phone
I also started my kernel for personal use, specifically to be able to use viper4 ? I just needed the kernel to be permissive. And now look where the kernel go

Grace UX is touchwiz based. Non tw roms are lineage, cyanogenmod, or any other that uses AOSP as base.

I removed it from features/changelog since isn`t activated yet. I saw too late in msm8916 defconfig the CONFIG_THERMAL_MONITOR=y so the intelli_thermal isn`t there yet. I can`t even finish the build (lots of errors), and you have errors in logcat ?. You are way far than me. For now i didn`t had time to chase those errors. I`ll look more maybe next week. Anything else interesting in my source? ?
Cheers!
