I compiled this kernel because i got some requests to compile this in my personal message box.
Rom Compatibility:
Android 4.2.2
CM10.1
AOSPA
PAC
AOKP
Features:
Logs are Disabled
GPU driver optimizations and code cleanup
CFS kernel scheduler optimizations
Android Binder update
Backport OOM Killing algorithm from 3.8 kernel
Changed kernel compressor/decompressor from GZIP to the much faster LZ4.
Writeback tweaks from Linus Torvalds
Implemented Dynamic Filesync and enabled by default
Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP
Correct AXI bus values for CPU
Moddified Ramdisk
Replace zRam XvmAlloc with the better ZsmAlloc integration
Update zRam from 3.0 drivers
Make zRam LZ4 decompressor work faster in the same CPU cycles
Introduce Timer Slack Controller (aka Timer Coalescing, explanation below)
Backport LowMemoryKiller and Timed GPIO drivers from 3.8 kernel
Make sure that the GPU turns off when the screen is off
Updated Interactive governor to the latest version from 3.8 sources
Add Dynamic Interactive governor (98% the same as Interactive, but it dynamically changes its parameters according to the load)
Predefine minfree and adj values
Dynamic PLL Overclock
Further undervolt until 768 MHz (the latter allows us to do this without losing performance)
Fully functional App Whitelist (example script here)
Forced unaligned access
Fast Charge (use this to enable it: FastCharge.apk - 1.29 MB) [Disconnect USB Cable - Turn ON - Connect USB Cable]
Current Bugs V3:
Auto Rotate
Camera Reboot
Timer Slack Controller: (this is a copy-paste from boype's thread)
What does the timer slack feature do?
Timer slacking aims to synchronize applications' and processes' CPU requests. The goal is to wake up the CPU less often in oder to save battery. What you need to know here is the following: waking the CPU up and putting it back to sleep again consumes power. Imagine that four apps wake the CPU up four times each in one second. While without timer slacking the CPU would be woken up 16 times, it is desirable to coordinate the wakeups. If done right, the CPU would wake up less often, effectively allowing power savings and longer sleep periods. This is what timer slacking does.
I have activated timer slacking only for background applications, so that everything else stays as responsive as you know it.
Apple has recently introduced this feature under the name 'timer coalescing' with their Mac OSX Maverick (link).
More information: How Apple does timer slacking ('Timer coalescing') (Scroll a little down to the diagrams)
LZ4 Compressor:
LZ4 is a very fast compressor, based on well-known
LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm. Originally a fork from LZP2, it provides
better compression ratio for text files and reaches impressive decompression
speed, in the range and beyond 1GB/s per core (!), especially for binary files.
These speeds are scalable with multi-threading modes, quickly reaching
RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.

Various tweaks
Script for adding apps to LowMemoryKiller's whitelist:Whitelist
(you have to edit it to add your own apps, then move it to init.d and set correct permissions. right now you can only add one app, I'll fix this in the next version)
Script to enable zRam with optimized disksize for our Mini: View attachment 2064488 (flashable zip) [UPDATED]
Jeeko's PureAudio fixed for CM10.1 and AOKP: View attachment 2066252 [ Please thank Jeeko for this awesome mod. ]
NOTE: This version of PureAudio is compatible with absolutely any equalizer or player.
If you have Titanium Backup installed, in the menu you'll find an option named "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM". Use it.
This is something like odexing your system, but keeps the classes.dex files inside the apps. Don't worry if you don't have a lot of system space, Titanium will odex as much as it can until the free space runs out.
TIP: So in latest version of CrossBreeder, the OP added some system tweaking which interferes with our kernel. So I edited those parts to match our settings and device limits.
If anyone wants to install CrossBreeder:
-First uninstall by flashing this file: CrossBreeder_Uninstall_7.2.13.zip - 943.12 KB
-Then install this custom version: CrossBreeder_7.2.13-Badass.zip - 1.59 MB

A_U
boot time is soo quick awesome
battery stress tests are under progress..been charging my ace to 100% and will drain it under heavy use soon.
so its better if u release the kernel tomo or day after.
ace is so cool [temperature] even under heavy use for 30min continuous usage...unlike the common msm kernel which heated the device even when booting -_-
testing with 800-122Mhz smartahs3.
everything working perfectly..so far.
ChangeLog:
V1 First release for cooper
booting
V2
Enabled more governors and I/O schedulars
Updated Defconfig
V3
Enabled USB
Enabled UMS
Compiled with CodeSourcery
Compiled with Linaro-4.8
updated defconfig
compiled 2 versions
V4
Optimized kernel for Linaro
Compiled only with linaro
remove local version
Updated Ramdisk
new bootsplash
more?

yes on all 4.2.2 roms

SpaceCaker, You're the best:good::good:

Caker can you please work on battery extender kernel v1.6 with Libisc's permission ? Battery jumps to about 50% on it very quickly. It would be great if you could take care of sudden battery drains here n there & make it more steady & friendly. This is one thing that's missing for stock roms, a best kernel like fire kernel. You have done so much for our ace. Your space kernel is awesome. But can we get something much more outstanding for stock ?
Sent from my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 using xda premium

I tried this kernel but USB connection with my computer didn't worked.

V2 released

@SpaceCaker
Hmmm
Testing V2 (CM10.1 variant)
Kernel Version shows: Unavailable
Also Add Dynamic Interactive governor is not available
Only interactive, SmartassH3, smartassV2, ondemand, Zen and performance are available.

why kernel_version doesnt show :/ i did used the version files now from stock androidarmv6 source yet still not correct xD
i think Dynamic interactive is inside interactive governor

i have done some research
ad it seems that on CM10.1 multiple people have this issue
this can be cause of CM or CWM recovery
i am trying to strings fsr.ko | grep vermagic
wich gave me this output
Code:
-1203276
so instead of using
Code:
-jellybean
i will try to use that code
also can u try if it says unavailable kernel version in CPU spy ?

Buglist:​- Since v0.6 - Stock task/memory managers will not detect the amount of RAM used by apps.
As a workaround, use any task manager from Google Play.​
How to install:​--On S-OFF devices--
-Flash the zip via recovery! (twrp or cwm)
-Reboot
--On S-ON devices--
-S-OFF your device, then use above steps!
(Yes, i highly recommend to S-OFF before using any custom made things!)
or
-Extract the boot.img from the .zip.
-Get in fastboot and flash via [highlight]fastboot flash boot boot.img[/highlight].
-Reboot into recovery.
-Flash the zip via recovery.
-Reboot
[highlight]The same thing applies if you update to a higher version or if you downgrade to a lower version of the kernel.[/highlight]
​
README!​- JB Versions recieve OTA updates over Goo Manager!
-Do a nand backup before testing!
-[highlight]Test[/highlight] versions are for testing, therefore expect bugs and please report them in detail.
-Beware that you use this at your own risk and please provide feedback in order to get it stronger/better/bla bla bla
-The versions of kernel for ICS Sense around here should work on all OFFICIAL ICS 2.31.401.2 RUU based roms, and the official one of course, so if you use a different firmware, make sure you make a backup as there are BIG chances it will not work.
-The versions of kernel for JB will work only on AOSP based ROM's like Cyanogenmod, Paranoid, PAC, AOKP and so on, version 4.2 and up!
-The JB build already have this kernel included as it's the only one right now to support JB for our device, but here you can get the latest changelogs and eventually updates for the kernel if not available otherwise.
-[highlight]ION[/highlight] versions of kernel are for ION versions of ROM's, don't use it if you don't know what that means!
-[highlight]DO NOT USE JB KERNELS ON SENSE/ICS ROMS![/highlight]
-Use SetCPU or CPU Master Free(<<my personal choice) in order to activate OC or other Governors and Schedulers, can be found on market
What i say here is just my opinion for the best freq usage possible:
-Stock: Conservative 245 - 1500 Mhz
-Battery friendly: Conservative 149 - 1200 Mhz
-Balanced: SmartassV2 149 - 1497 Mhz
-Kickass: Ondemand 245 - 1800 Mhz
--Best Graphics score: 1497 Mhz
--Best CPU score: 1800 Mhz (you don't say?)
(1497 Mhz was introduced in LTX since 0.7.6)​

Sources:​For a more detailed Changelog check the GitHub repo!
As the source-code may help others, or if you simply want to see what the code looks like, here it is the gihub link of my kernel, it will be updated as soon as changes are made on it, enjoy the open-source creations!​
FAQ:​Q: How can i use SWAP?
You need to find a script or to activate it manually, check the xda forum for a init.d script for that.
Q: Will battery last more with this kernel?
On stock values yes, it can be improved by changing VDD voltages and Underclocking.
Q: Will performance be better with this kernel?
It also depends on the ROM you are using, but YES, performance will be better.
Q: What are all the terms around here about?
Check this beautiful and plentiful GUIDE!
Q: Why should i use this kernel?
Because it's better than stock, don't believe me? Try it!
Q: Will you port this or that kernel for our device?
No, but i can include features, just ask for them
Q: With what Toolchain is this kernel compiled?
This kernel is compiled with official Google toolchain version 4.6.3
Q: Why don't you use this or that toolchain to compile your kernel?
Because there is no difference, check this thread for details.​
Fanbar:​As now the kernel has a little personality, i decided to make a fanbar ​

Works great with Sense 4.0, thanks mate! Just wondering, after installing setCPU is it only necessary to set mhz to 1804 and nothing else such as governors etc? Anyway, works very fast, good start!
Yes, a so fast battery drain is the only little problem with the kernel...
thanks for this kernal, now my battery consumption in sleep mode is Awesome,,, the day before when i was not using ur kernal it took 30% of battery for one night,,now after flashing this Awesome kernal it consume 3% for whole night... Loved it . Keep going .

[KERNEL][SENSEICS][LINARO4.8.3-O3] ★☆ Kangaroo Kernel ☆★ | 16 Jan | REVOLUTION

2) If you OC'ed/OV'ed/UV'ed and now are in a boot loop or your phone is slow, or acting weird or just died - this means you changed something to a value your phone didnt like. I added the ability to OV/UV for those who know the risks and how to use it. When you change these, test them for an hour or so before setting on boot
3) overclocking your phone can break it, as you can see from reading this thread, this kernel has been 100% stable for me, but some had issues. Overclock at your own risk.
4) not every phone can be over clocked, anything over 1.2 is considered unstable (on any of my kernels... well ok... most any ones kernel)
5) Please DO NOT use any task killers (or additional INITD scripts), they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).

Initial release, based upon the sources of Beastmode cause we can't let a great kernel go to waste
Recommended settings:
Trickster MOD Kernel Settings
TCP: Westwood
I/O: Deadline
CPU: 122-1200MHz for balance, 122-1497 for performance (stock is 245-1024)
Governor: SmartMax/Interactive (Stock values are tuned for balance), Ondemand (tuned more for performance), Dancedance (battery)
Dynamic fsync: on (for saving your data. If fsync is off and your phone crashes then you may lost data)
Voltages: stock, or undervolt if you can a bit (I keep mine stock, stock is standard qualcomm/CAF spec)
Officially supported ROMs (that I run to test this kernel)
- Project X Rebirth
- ViperVivo 1.x, 2.x
- Blackout ICS Incredible (hotspot may not work on 4.0)
- Android Revolution HD 5.x
Any other sense ROMs should work but I don't test them. If you have problems then chances are someone else in the thread running that ROM can help
Works for all sense Roms on incredible s ?

You're welcome I hope you enjoy it.
Now im starting to update ICS and JB 4.1 Kernels Stay tuned!
I would honestly drop ICS support. Almost nobody will flash ICS anything because of the EU bug

Who can make a good boot logo for my kernel?
Thanks in advance
I think it is a very good kernel, actually the only one updated for JB 4.1.x. Smooth on Miui.
No issues so far.
Tomorrow New JBPlus and JB Release.
Changelog for both:
- Optimized ZRAM Support (module, i will release a script for this)
- Optimized SWAP Support
- Optimized much more performance
- Touch Recovery (great )
- No more included Aroma File Manager (not compatible with touch recovery, i will provide it in attachments)
- Back to SLUB Memory Allocator
- GearTools app built-in (removed semaphore manager)
- RCU Priority Boost Enabled
- OC up to 1400 MHz (LiveOC still present)
- Dynamic FSync now full working
- All governors and I/O Schedulers are now built-in, no more compiled as modules
- BFQv6r1 I/O Scheduler support
- Interactive Governor backported from 3.4 kernel and optimized
Maybe more that i will add tomorrow before release
TO-DO for next releases:
- Add V(R) and FIOPS I/O Scheduler
- Add some other good governors
- Linux Kernel 3.0.85
- ......
And maybe an ICS Release
Obthe EU bug was only in ICS and it makes the internal storage unusable

Present only in early ICS Builds and if you downgrade from ICS/JB/JB 4.2 to Froyo.
So this is safe

Debugging the kernel
/proc/kmsg is a file that stores all the kernel messages from the very first seconds of the boot process. A copy of that file isn't always needed to fix a bug, but since I've explained how to get one I don't even remember how many times, I'll write here the needed steps:
1. open a terminal on your phone
2. run the following commands:
- su
- cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kernel_log
3. the log will be stored in kernel_log.

If you don't wipe /data in the recovery, there's no need to redownload the splashscreen you want every time you update ROM/kernel. It will already be there.

Download from Kernel Adiutor or from Android File Host:

If you had previously flashed the old PhilZ with Rashr, you need to flash stock FOTAKernel to use TWRP in v3.1 and later.
Use this zip that will flash a stock FOTAKernel (thanks to @TechnoSparks): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/stock-components-flashable-zips-t3184111/post62447981
be sure to choose your variant (e.g. C5303)!
Or, if you've got the whole C530x .ftf file, you can also flash the FOTAKernel via FlashTool.

I'll see what can I do. If I manage to port it, I'll release 2 versions: one with Doubletap2wake and one without it.

If you want any help related to double tap to wake function you head into galaxy s3's android development section. And there you have to see for arter kernel it is the best kernel for double tap to wake and you could pm the developer for any help
I installed it, all seem work fine. Except I am not able to change a CPU governor, as there is only IO governor option on the performance tab.

That option isn't available with stock kernel too.
Don't use CM's built-in kernel tweaker. It sucks. Use Trickster MOD.
Good work bro
use this mods for next version
- Swap support
- Zram support
- CPU underclock
- CPU limiter
- O3 compression
No need to set SELinux to permissive in this kernel :victory:
So, i've tested it on RR 5.4.0 and it works but cyanogenmod recovery is SAD! can't flash anything so please include CWM, Philz and TW like other kernel.
When i flashed it, it take very long time it's normal?!
Nice kernel, i hope some features are going to be added like fast charge, faux sound and more cpu frequencies. If u want to flash another recovery use Rashr Flash tool.
WOAH a custom kernel for 5.1! Congrats @Tomoms ! I'm going to test it.

If you have already flashed PhilZ w/ Rashr, installing this kernel won't overwrite it.
Can you explain better "It takes very long"? It takes a lot of time to boot/to flash/...?
BTW, v2 is in progress! A lot of new features, I hope they work... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I had to create it mainly because unlocking the bootloader and staying on a featureless kernel seemed nonsensical to me.

Will directly flash v2, Waiting And the thing I Love the most is "Permissive SELinux"
Sent from Xperia SP with Lollipop 5.1 (RR 5.4.0)
why use this kernel
i have rr5.4 build running quite good with philz recovery.
whats the difference bw the rr's kernel and this one.
i would like to know the features before flashing it

A small update for all of you. v2 is canceled since it doesn't boot, I'll release some point releases (1.x) which will include each feature I had previously planned for v2. So within 3 or 4 point releases we'll have what should have been v2. This will help me in debugging. v1.1 is coming today or tomorrow
flashed it but im having philz
many guyz said they lose philz recovery but not im my case
how this is possible then

Firstly i was installed it on Thunderzap kernel and then (thought that it may be overlapping) tried to install over stock CM 12.1 kernel also but same problem.

With BlackBox-2.0 All Your Issues Are Solved Now!
Thanks a lot.. Working great loved it. But whenever i'm using governers other than hotplug and turn screen off its getting CPUstoo low that its getting switched off...
Same problem is there in Thunderzap Kernel by @varun.chitre15
I hope you will not mind a feature request...
I can't list each and every feature so i'll just point to Boeffla kernel... With almost every feature
Especially i just love PegasusQ governer
Thanks

Thanks for your response but i don't know how to take proper logcat (whenever i'm using adb logcat its just showing too much command going on and keep going )
Hope you can point me and in the next reply i'll provide you the logcat :victory:

Thanks for the reports, i'll take a look and make changes update fix and imrove the next version of kernel! Meanwhile as of i know these governors and io schedulers have issue with mediatek and thus causing all this issue! also the reason why varun disabled those governers!
Warm Regards!
Thanks a lot! Eagerly waiting for your next build!
You're the only dev who actually interacts with the users and not ignore the problems!
