"I Don't Always Run Custom Kernels. But When I Do, I Run Vindicator"
-Worlds Most Interesting Man
Pushbullet Tag: vindicator-n7
You can also follow me on G+ if you would like:
[email protected]
Intro:
This is a kernel I developed alongside @Xileforce for Nexus 7 2013, this IS an offical Vindicator Kernel and follows the same ideals and guidelines as the Vindicator Kernel for Nexus 6. I hope you like it and I won't be offended if you hate it. All ideas are welcome and I'll try to help as best I can. If you wish to use this kernel in a rom , feel free! Although I would love it if you let me know just for my own curiosity.
Goal:
Keep kernel as lean as possible while adding certain, desirable features and optimizing for maximum performance and battery life. The default settings should be optimal for a balance of battery and performance without a need to tweak.
Disclaimer:
If your tablet blows up, its not my fault. If your tablet somehow gains perpetual battery life, I'll take full responsibility.

FAQ
1. How Do I Enable Mako Hotplug?
To enable mako hotplug use your favorite kernel control app like faux or trickster. As of 1.8 it is the default hotplug. In trickster you have to turn off both mpdecision and intelliplug. In faux you need to simply select User Control in the Hotplug Section. The hotplug can be configured using Franko Kernel Updater App.
2. Does This Work With CM12 Theme Engine?
Yes, this works with CM12 Theme Engine and should work on all ROMs properly.
3. How Can I Force All 4 Cores Online All The Time?
First you must enable mako hotplug. Then you need to use Franco's kernel updater app or another app that allows you to tweak mako hotplug settings. In fku app select CPU manager then hotplug control. Change load threshold to 0. Additionally if you just want to make it use 4 cores more often. Lower this number below 80 as desired. This should also be possible to tweak via terminal however I've never used that method.
4. Does This Have D2W, S2W, etc?
Yes, they are include in this kernel.
5. Help! I think its making me bootloop!:
This may only apply to specific ROMs and I'm unsure of why it would change anything but users have reported this to fix the issue. If you are trying a fresh install of a ROM boot on stock kernel first, reboot, then install this kernel.
6. You Broke My Tablet! Fix It!:
It will be quite hard for me to figure out what is going on if you don't provide details and a log of what happened. To get a log use any file manager and navigate to proc/last_kmsg. I need this file for debugging.
7. What Kernel Tweaking App Should I Use?:
I now use Synapse as my goto app for kernel tweaking.
8. Why Add Zram? We Already Have plenty of Ram!
Zram was added in build 1.0 as an experiment of sorts to see how much is was actually being used. V 1.0 introduced a bunch of tweaks to the kernel that essentially make it use more ram in order to give better battery life and performance. Zram was put in place to offset this in a way.
9. What Is Strict Aliasing And Why Should I Care?:
One of the big things Linaro does with improving Android's performance is fixing violations of what's known as "the strict aliasing rule." A pointer is said to alias another pointer when they both refer to the same location of memory. This is OK and not an uncommon thing to do. The strict aliasing rule is that pointers of different types should never refer to the same location of memory (aka alias each other). Strict aliasing allows a compiler to make some assumptions when compiling and optimizing code that it otherwise couldn't. It's actually one of the biggest optimizations you can do and it is fairly hard to add which is why most people don't. Here's a nice read up on it http://cellperformance.beyond3d.com/articles/2006/06/understanding-strict-aliasing.html#benefits
10. Come on man. 35mhz is pointless bro!:
A common misconception is that if two frequencies run at the same voltage. They use equal power. In fact this couldn't be less true. The equation for power draw has four variables. Two of which are frequency and voltage. Essentially it is the frequency multiplied by the square of the voltage. Then you would take that and multiply it by a few other things such as capacitance. However that is irrelevant for our purposes as it will not effect the relative results. This means that 35mhz running at 500mv will use about 3x less power than 98mhz at 500mv. Now we say well what about compared to 300mhz? I can stably run that at around 650mv. Maybe slightly less. This equates to about 15x less power usage at 35mhz. Well now that we know that. Who cares? Its not like 35mhz will even get used. Its too low! I beg to differ. I would almost guarantee that if you are not running mpdecision 35 MHz will be within the top 3 most used frequencies. Most likely the top used below sleep. And every time it uses that over 300mhz you are saving 15x the power. Additionally 35mhz also runs at a cache frequency of 35mhz as opposed to 300mhz cache frequency and runs a lower bus speed/voltage saving additional power.
11. How Do I Use MultiRom???:
To use multi ROM first you must download the MultiRom App from the Gooogle Play Store. Open it. You should have MultiRom and recovery boxes checked. Click install, reboot etc. To install a ROM. Download a ROM you like, go to twrp, click advanced,MultiRom,add ROM. Select internal storage and the Your zip file. Flash it but don't reboot! After that go back and select "list ROMs" select the ROM u just flashed still and click flash zip and select your gapps,supersu etc. After that simple reboot and select your new ROM on boot use the MultiRom app to manage your ROMs.
More will be added as they come up and I think of them.

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

Hell yeah! Heard many good things about this kernel. It's really great to see it being developed for our beloved Flo. Sweet!
Just a quick heads up... I'm getting a boot loop. Running latest OptiPop which is 5.1.1 r2 and I have data and cache partitions set to f2fs. Any help is appreciated.
You stoped me flashing. Maybe it's a ramdisk problem? Flash stock kernel when flash this one. Give a feedback after that
And first request. Please add BLX\BLE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469261

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

GeniSys.Kernel+ with TWRP-2.8.7.0 in Odin flashable format
I am attaching here my custom OC kernel with twrp-2.8.7.0 in odin flashable format along with the 1Gb-system/4Gb-Data pit file and Odin-3.09. Use this to recover from soft bricks and also the kernel can be used with other lollipop based ROMS. Flash the kernel with odin after installing the ROM of your choice. If you have used this kernel to repair a soft brick, you will have to again reflash the kernel after installing the ROM if you want to continue using this kernel. Happy flashing.
Kernel Guide
Please read very carefully before modifying kernel features
Please use the official kernel editor tool 'Synapse' for modifying various kernel parameters. For changing governors and tunables, please use 'KernelAdiutor'.
Code:
[FONT="Arial Black"][SIZE="4"][U]Best Configuration[/U][/SIZE][/FONT]
Governor - PegasusqPlus (Set from KernelAdiutor)
IO Scheduler - BFQ (Set from Synapse)
MulticorePowerSavings Scheduler - 1 (Set from Synapse)
Code:
ZZMOOVE is a new governor focused on performance/stability . It supports multiple profiles. To modify any profile according to your needs, open the "Kernel Adiutor' App, go to CPU under the KERNEL tab. Select the 'ZaneZam Governor Profile' option & enter your desired number from the list below.
[SIZE="4"][FONT="Arial Black"][U]ZZMOOVE Profiles[/U][/FONT][/SIZE]
1> for Default (set governor defaults)
2> for Yank Battery -> old untouched setting (a very good battery/performance balanced setting DEV-NOTE: highly recommended!)
3> for Yank Battery Extreme -> old untouched setting (like yank battery but focus on battery saving)
4> for ZaneZam Battery -> old untouched setting (a more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving DEV-NOTE: might give some lags!)
5> for ZaneZam Battery Plus -> NEW! reworked 'faster' battery setting (DEV-NOTE: recommended too! )
6> for ZaneZam Optimized -> old untouched setting (balanced setting with no focus in any direction DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it!)
7> for ZaneZam Moderate -> NEW! setting based on 'zzopt' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online
8> for ZaneZam Performance -> old untouched setting (all you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast down scaling/hotplugging behaving)
9> for ZaneZam InZane -> NEW! based on performance with new auto fast scaling active. a new experience!
10>for ZaneZam Gaming -> NEW! based on performance with new scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay
(CPU Temperature threshold of 65°C enabled if exynos4 cpu temperature reading support was compiled with the governor)
The profile name will reflect in the 'profile' tab just above 'profile_number' tab in the tunable screen.
Code:
[SIZE="4"][FONT="Arial Black"][U]Instructions[/U][/FONT][/SIZE]
>For TRIM, use the FSTrim App. or from terminal, run su, fstrim -v /data /cache
>For every other features, from OC to UV, please use the 'Synapse' app.
>For governor & tunable control, please use the KernelAdiutor App.
>For GPU OC, You must enable 'vpll' mode in Synapse. Use the 'vpll' enabled frequencies for best performance & stability.
>You can type 'systemstatus' in terminal to view all CPU/GPU/Temperature etc status.
>Toggle the SELINUX switch, once from permissive to enforcing & back to permissive on first boot.
>For NTFS USB Flash Drives to work, Please install [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount"]this[/URL] Application.

Still downloaded the first sweet fruit but waiting for the provided gapps to download btw... you wrote "Flash 'UPDATE-SuperSU.zip' to gain Root-Privileges." and "You must flash the added #SU.zip....", is it necessary to do this step, because it's allready in addon.d?

My damn upload speed is so stupid today...two times I tried to upload and failed....wait...il put it back again.
Dnt flash until I provide the proper Gapps...then ul complain if it fcs...plz wait.
Another LP......this is great.......:good::good: waiting for the link
Is this also based on Lysergic Acid's device tree? (I'm asking simply for the bluetooth support)
Bluetooth depends on a string knwn as bcm_pachram that gets the config valuevin text..in s2 common the text file stating the samsung accurate bluetooth hardware is mentioned and its config is also there..so device tree only provides the config file...nw the driver of cm...broadcom_libbt where the bcm_pachram gets the device config mentioned in galaxys2 common..that driver has got some problem in that...not the config file..its like ur providing the ryt parameters but the main driver is accepting the config but driver side probl3m is occuring...also i triple checked bluetooth.h and also btpanmh btsock.h in libhardware...my rom is aosp drivers...so it myt work or nt...cant be sure...rest be assured s2 common tree or device tree has gt nothing to do with the stutter...in smthing in frameworks, libhardware or broadcom_libbt.

FAQ: (Read this before flashing the kernel and reporting bugs!)
Q. Gaming performace isnt good in this kernel!
A. Disable Samsung Hotplug from your preferred kernel tweaker app! Hotplug is disabled in builds from R2 onwards!
Q. Whats Fsync? should i disable it?
A. fsync transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of (i.e., modified buffer cache pages for) the file referred to by the file descriptor fd to the disk device (or other permanent storage device) so that all changed information can be retrieved even after the system crashed or was rebooted. This includes writing through or flushing a disk cache if present. The call blocks until the device reports that the transfer has completed. It also flushes metadata information associated with the file (see stat(2)).
Too scientific, didnt read! : In layman terms disabling Fsync gives you better performance with the risk of a Data loss/corruption during a system crash!
Q. I cant Flash NFS injector, FDE.AI, MAGNETAR and other tweakers on this kernel!
A. I have added a in-built kernel blocker to block installation of these so called "AIO kernel tweakers". You shouldnt install these tweaks in my opinion! If you still want to use a Tweaker, i prefer you use KTweak though i wont be providing support for issues if u have flashed any mods or anything of this likeliness!
Q. I have an issue and i have reported it in the XDA thread, yet nobody replied to me.
A. I might be slow in responding for issues reported in the XDA thread, if u want me to reply more faster, report it in the Telegram support group!
Q. My phone gets HOT while using this kernel!?
A. Short answer: It's your own issue, fix it yourself. Nobody makes a kernel just to burn your hands.
Long answer:
* Install Termux app from Play Store * Enable screen rotation, open Termux in landspace mode * Type this command: su -c top -d 2 * A list of processes will appear and refresh with 2s interval. Find which process consumes the most CPU usage with [%CPU] column and the package name in ARGS column. You should see the culprit of your issue.
Reminder: There is no such thing as "I have nothing in background but the phone still heats up". There definitely something happen and 99% of the time it's some of the rogue apps running in background.
Thanks to Diep Quynh for finding this one out!
I've tried it and for some reason left top corner of the screen never responded to touch. Ex: I couldn't turn on wifi from quick toggles n back arrow in some apps as I couldn't make a touch on left corner...
I didn't collect logs as I immediately reverted back to old kernel.

I didn't collect logs as I immediately reverted back to old kernel.

Its a ROM issue, which has been already identified by the rom dev, u can join their telegram group to know this
New kernel build is up guys! =)
Currently running the newest build, runs great, thanks for the work. 6h SOT and still 50% battery. Just wondering, any reason hotplug is disabled? Does it really impact performance that bad? Or is it just samsungs implementation? Tried to build a custom version using your source (with a big core oc and an undervolt), cant seem to for some reason. Once again, thanks for the great work. Any way to buy you a Coffee?
Hotfix build is uploaded, sorry for the inconveniences caused by the bootloop issues =)

Hi mate!
1. hotplug is disabled cuz in my tests i found em to degrade performance and doesnt make much of a difference battery life wise, hence disabled and yes its a samsung implementation.
2. For OC u can pick ace2nutzers a2n kernel commits, i have tested em and it works
3. as for the undervolt, i havent tried em and probably wont be =)
4. Thanks very much, i dont need coffee or beers and stuff, u can hit the thanks button =)
Thanks and regards,
Stay Safe!
I am using this kernel on android 10 oneui
after i flashed the kernel i had weird issue concerning samsung clear case
when i close the case the screen turn on and when i open the case the screen turns off!
it acts in the opposite manner!
N950N supported?
is there any way to change to enforcing?!

Proton Kernel
Performance-oriented kernel
Proton Kernel is a minimal kernel focused on improving overall UX with performance and battery tuning.
Usage with my ProtonAOSP ROM is recommended to get the most out of your phone. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The kernel alone will work just as well on stock, but you will not get the benefits of the ROM. More tightly coupled features may be added in the future.
Installation
This kernel is provided as a bootable flasher image. It is not a boot image for flashing into the boot partition. Boot the image with "fastboot boot ProtonKernel-pixel5-VERSION.img" to flash it. The image is specially packed with a custom flasher that is fast and easy to use, so flashing it into the boot partition directly will not work.
All versions of all ROMs are supported, as well as Magisk if you wish to use it. Magisk will be preserved after flashing if you already have it installed. If not, you can install Magisk by patching your boot image before flashing the kernel.
DO NOT FLASH THE IMAGE DIRECTLY TO THE BOOT PARTITION! It will not work, no matter what you flash it with — fastboot, kernel managers, etc.
Features
• Advanced CPU tuning specifically for the Snapdragon 765G to improve performance and reduce jitter
• Scheduler ramp/decay tuning for faster response to quick actions
• Display power-saving tweaks (mostly Pixel 5 only)
• Near-instant display wakeup (Pixel 5 only)
• Reduced touch latency and motion jitter (at the cost of losing Deep Press)
• ThinLTO optimizations for performance
• TCP ECN, BBR congestion control, and fq_codel network scheduler for faster and more reliable networking
• 80 MiB of extra RAM unlocked for apps to use
• More linear and consistent battery percentage curve
• Custom fast & easy kernel flasher with support for Magisk and all ROMs
• Minimal debugging for better security, performance, and reduced size
• Sultan's Simple Low Memory Killer to improve memory utilization
• Tuning for F2FS garbage collection, low-level atomic operations, and more
• System call filters compiled to machine code for 66% faster filtering
• Reduced CPU usage when using cellular data (for testing with 5G mmWave networks)
• Compiled with the latest Proton Clang 13 toolchain
• zRAM disabled to reduce CPU waste
• WireGuard VPN acceleration
• Support for power user tasks: USB modem-like devices (e.g. RFID tools), custom virtual USB Ethernet networking, isolated Linux containers
• SafetyNet basic attestation passing without Magisk

Hey, thank you for Bramble's first custom kernel! How do I install Magisk? Can your image from Github be patched by Magiskmanager as with normal boot.img's? Thx
I installed this using EX Manager but it caused a boot freeze.
How do you recommend installing it to not cause any issues please?
Nevermind, got it working with fastboot.
Are the 4a 5G and the P5 using the same kernels? Just noticed EXKM is asking me to install Elemental P5

Yes, they are basically the same device save for the display refresh rate. The Pixel 4a is completely different.
Great work, thanks for this.
Does this mean the redbull ProtonAOSP ROM would work on the 4a 5G too? If so, I'm looking forward to that. (https://github.com/ProtonAOSP/android_device_google_redbull)

The redfin build will not work, ROM builds for the two devices are slightly different. I haven't bothered to support bramble in my ROM because unlike kernel builds which are small, ROMs take a long time to build and incur bandwidth costs on upload.
Running super smooth, thanks for sharing. Retained root and still passing safetynet, no issues so far. Will have to give it some more time to see how battery drain goes.
Was really hoping for a Proton Rom too but completely understand why it's not feasible. More than happy with stock rooted and a great custom kernel for now.
Thank you [emoji3526]...just installed...
Note to self: you know you've eaten too much when running script you see waiting for device scratching your head ...oh wait hmm yup phone is still on not in fastboot mode ..lol [emoji23]
thanks a ton for this kernel.
this made basic integrity check pass. then installed hardware off module for magisk to get ctsprofile to pass. now i think i can google pay
Flashed it fine following the directions in the OP with no issues. Will report back with how it functions after a few days of use. So far so good. Thank you.

Hardware off module? I can't seem to find that anywhere. Is this kernel saying its a different phone to get safety net to pass?

I'm not sure what he means but I think in magisk modules, there is a way to change the fingerprint of the device. CTS something. I'm gonna look for it later. I think most people change it to the 3a and then safetynet is good.

Did you have to change build prop, etc to pass safety net? Or just this kerbal helped that? I remember on my 2xl that a custom kernel was easier way to pass safety net until magisk got it all sorted.

I used magisk hide, rename magisk manager, and magisk hide props config and changed to pixel 3a XL.
There's a detailed guide on how to do the props config here if you're not familiar
[GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Safetynet for Pixel 4a
With the pixel 4a finally arriving for some (like me), figured I'd make a quick guide Note that unlocking your bootloader breaks safetynet. There's a workaround in this guide but no guarantee that it won't get patched out in the future. Also...
forum.xda-developers.com
I can also confirm Proton Kernel running very smoothly after flashing it several days ago.
With regards to the previous question, I had used props to modify my device before installing the kernel so I can't say whether the kernel alone will help you pass the SafetyNet checks. In any case, my device is passing both checks just fine as well.
Thank you for the hard work, @kdrag0n. Looking forward to future updates and whatever else you might have for us down the line.
Proton Kernel 1.1 is now available with security updates, improved performance tuning, extra RAM, and more.
This update is required for the kernel to work properly on December ROMs, including the new version of ProtonAOSP. It will not boot on older ROMs.
Usage with my ProtonAOSP ROM is recommended to get the most out of your phone now that it is available for the Pixel 4a 5G. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The kernel alone will work just as well on stock, but you will not get the benefits of the ROM. More tightly coupled features may be added in the future.
Changelog:
• Updated to stock December kernel base (will not boot on older ROMs)
• Improved CPU frequency and energy model tuning for performance
• Further reduced display power usage for both Pixel 5 and 4a 5G
• Enabled TCP ECN for better handling of poor networks (similar to iOS 11+)
• Unlocked 5 MiB of extra RAM for apps
• Added support for full-blown isolated Linux containers
• Added support for USB modem-like devices (e.g. RFID tools)
• Reduced debugging overhead
• Fixed fastbootd flashing

This kernel's battery life is amazing. I'm getting ~0.57%/hr. isle drain and ~5.4%/hr. active drain after several days of normal usage. Smooth as can be also. Thank you again for the amazing work, @kdrag0n.

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the Poco(phone) F1.
First off, I am not a superstar kernel developer, I'm just trying to build a kernel out of some basic/simple kernel source and trying to add amazing features and optimization from other famous kernels and even some by myself.
our aim with parallax
our aim is to provide the best performance to hardcore gamers out there, to accomplish this we overclocked the GPU up to 820mhz and made it super stable using some custom power optimization, but our aim didn't stop there! with the best performance, we wanted to solve a big problem in poco community, which is touch!. we use the latest new touch drivers which provide the best touch response and best bullet registration in PUBG and COD Mobile, parallax is made to crush any game you throw at it!
Note: Ported ROMs like OOS are know to have issues and aren't supported by me!

you can use our parallax app which gets downloaded when you flash the zip in twrp
note:- that parallax has 2 versions of zip depending on your panel type, so download accordingly....
To know what panel you are using, download Device Info HW from google play
Does it have display OC? Because that makes the scrolling and experience a lot more fluid.
Awesome work.....just downloaded and testing it now nice to see new stuff for Poco F1......

You can uninstall magisk and reflash it to remove the modules. But the modules are needed for smooth functioning of the kernel
