* Busfreq up & down threshold control
Stock / SkyHigh default = 23
* Busfreq (memory) voltage group
default group = 1 (stock)
available group options 1 > 7
L0 = 400 L1 = 267 L2 = 160 MHz
1 > {1150000, 1050000, 1050000} SkyHigh default / stock

* Set L2 bus (memory) speed from 133 > 160 MHz
- Default MHz now:
L0 = 400
L1 = 267
L2 = 160 MHz / 1000 mV (stock = 133 MHz / 950 mV)
* Adaptive vfs_cache_pressure on suspend / resume
Hard coded values :
- Set @ 10 = save battery on device suspend
- Set @ 60 = better smoothness on device resume
Low vfs_cache pressure values save battery while idle, while a low value also causes stutter with longer up times.

WARNING :
* Under-volting can cause instability
* Over-clocking can cause freeze/reboot, heat & damage to CPU
* Any customizations may void warranty
P6810 Wi-Fi JB 4.1.2 DXMD3 ONLY
INSTALLATION
** DO NOT USE ANY 3RD PARTY TWEAKS OR “PERFORMANCE” TYPE APPS & REMOVE ALL ROM / KERNEL SCRIPTS FROM /system/etc/init.d FOLDER **
1. NANDROID (just in case)
2. Flash SkyHigh P6810 JB 4.1.2 ROM or bodivas P6810 JB 4.1.2 ROM
3. Remove any previous CPU control settings from starting at boot, remove any 3rd party tweaks etc
4. Flash in custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) to auto wipe previous kernel profile remnants ie. crontab & /data/.siyah folder
5. If requested by Recovery to install SU, DO NOT. Instead - Let the kernel do it on boot

FAQ & HELP
FAQ & HELP
MY RECOMMENDATIONS
* Governor = pegasusq, lulzactiveq, or ZZMoove
* IMO = Performance → → Battery
1. on-demand
2. pegasusq (snappy, but easier on battery than on-demand)
3. lulzactiveq
4. ZZMoove
* Scheduler = SIO
* CPU freq = 200-1400/1600 MHz
* CPU vdd levels = SkyHigh "defaults"
* Enable zRAM for better mulitasking
* CPU Control app = ExTWeaks
Don't forget to use only one Control app at a time. They will conflict !
ISSUES?
1 Remove any kernel related init.d tweaks, 3rd party performance type apps etc
2 Wipe your CPU control app(s) data (menu > settings > applications > "your control app(s)" > clear data/cache)
3 Use only ONE CPU control app ! USE EXTweaks
4 Open SuperSU app > settings > full unroot (or unroot from with EXTweaks options)
5 Boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik cache
6 Re-flash SkyHigh Kernel
7 If requested by recovery - DO NOT install root (let the kernel do it)
9 Reboot
8 If still issue such as bootloop etc, try using MPLL mode for GPU, and or increase GPU voltages +50 mV
9 Try a kernel "legacy" versions
10 Back to stock for you
RANDOM SCREEN TINT AFTER CHANGING GOVERNOR
* Turn screen OFF-ON
* Use only SkyHigh defaults values
* Don't use a CPU control app to change kernel settings - Use init.d script instead
* OR IF IT BOTHERS YOU,...... DON'T USE THE KERNEL
zRAM
Info here : (INFO)What is zram and how does it work???
LOGS
* You can find various ExTweaks logs in the /data folder:

PREVENT/REDUCE SCREEN-OFF FLICKER FOR CRT-OFF ANIMATION ENABLED ROMs

* Set to 0 if you haven't any CRT-off animation mod
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

WHAT IS A CUSTOM KERNEL
* First of all, watch this : Android Basics 101: Understanding Kernels – XDA Developer TV
* Is usually' modified and complied from source.
* My very first successfully compiled kernel just included the "SkyHigh" name. I suppose you could call that a modified "stock" kernel. On the other hand, you could also argue that any firmware modified from either official or built from sources could be called "custom".
HAVE THE STOCK KERNELS ATTACHED BEEN MODIFIED
* If you are referring to the stock MD3 kernels in Post #2, NO
* I just extracted the zImage from official firmware and repackaged for flashing via custom recovery or Odin. There are no changes made to the zImage. I have no plans to modify these.
ENTROPY
* MAX pool sixe 4096
* It's not instant, just use your device and it will grow.
* No need for entropy generator apps that consume battery (use extra CPU cycles)
WHAT ARE GOVERNORS / SCHEDULERS ETC
* Excellent source of info by droidphile :
[REF][TWEAKS] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers, CPU Tweaks, AIO App Configs
FSTRIM LAGFIX
* fstrim is more of a maintenance binary. Android 4.2.2 and below are more prone to lag over time and prevalent as your internal storage is used up.
* Trims system, preload, data & cache partitions
* fstrim binary set to run after boot
* A manual reboot once a week is suggested. Those users who have ample internal storage and or recently formatted their partitions via ROM flash or Nandroid restore may see little difference for now.
* More info : Google yourself or Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM 20130829
CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATION SUPPORT
1. copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ folder (mount folder r/w to paste)
2. ensure set permissions rw-rw-rw-
3. reboot
NOTE :
* For any further help or instructions for bootanimation, please open your own forum Q&A thread or post in a relevant bootanimation thread. There are many already built and can be found by searching.
* The size we need for our tab is 800x1280 or 1280x800 (depending on portrait or landscape)
CUSTOM BOOT SOUND SUPPORT
* Place custom boot sound PowerOn.ogg in /system/media
* To mute, create an empty file named mute in /system/media
* To unmute, create an empty file named unmute in /system/media
* To restore original boot sound, create an empty file named ori_sound in /system/media
* Reboot device after each process
NOTE :
* when creating a custom boot sound, make sure you use a capital "P" and "O" in PowerOn.ogg
* I will not provide a tutorial for creating boot sounds, you can Google yourself

1 Try increase CPU 1600 Mhz voltage by +25 mV or +50 mV. I would not recommend any more than that !
2 Lower CPU OC back to stock max 1400 MHz setting
3 To find out which frequency cause the freeze :
a) If you have UV the CPU and the device freeze, obviously you need to increase the voltage to a particular frequency step(s)
b) Do a stress test with SetCPU (or other app) and lock your max frequency for each step (DO NOT SET ON BOOT WHILST TESTING)
4 Try a different governor
5 Use a different benchmark app/tool
AnTuTu Crashes?
* Try another benchmark app !
Low Bench-Marking Scores
* Consectutive tests as well as OC may heat the CPU high enough where thermal limiting occurs. Well here you go........... I observed my CPU regularly drop to 800 MHz after hitting a thermal limit during testing.
Here's the proof !
https://github.com/UpInTheAir/P6800_JB_SkyHigh_Kernel/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-px.c
Code:
#ifdef CONFIG_EXYNOS4_SETUP_THERMAL
/* below temperature base on the celcius degree */
struct s5p_platform_tmu px_tmu_data __initdata = {
.ts = {
[COLOR="Red"].stop_1st_throttle = 61,
.start_1st_throttle = 64,[/COLOR]
.stop_2nd_throttle = 87,
.start_2nd_throttle = 103,
.start_tripping = 110,
.start_emergency = 120,
.stop_mem_throttle = 80,
.start_mem_throttle = 85,
},
.cpufreq = {
.limit_1st_throttle = [COLOR="Red"]800000[/COLOR], /* 800MHz in KHz order */
.limit_2nd_throttle = 200000, /* 200MHz in KHz order */
* With some undervolt and governor tuning, little OC impact will be felt on battery. Not everyone fixes their CPU to max with performance governor so, providing your hardware can handle it, some OC should be OK for everyday use as the CPU only briefly scales to max freq with the 'right' governor.
* As you can see, this could be easily changed to allow (cheat) in benchmarks. This won't make much difference to everyday use, but IMO shouldn't be touched. My silicon may not handle it
RESET CUSTOM FLASH COUNTER
*There is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 flash counter introduced for P6800 JB 4.1.2 DXMD3, so any modified ROM, kernel or recovery flashed via PC Odin will increase the counter.
1. Have installed my P6810/P6800 SkyHigh kernel for JB 4.1.2 (patched for triangle away compatibility)
2. Install triangle away app v3.26
3. Reset counter
4. Reboot as requested
5. To check > open app again, or, power off and enter download mode
* Your custom ROM, kernel, recovery & root remain intact
Anything else, IF I find the time
.
A few things to do yet to bring it on par with the P6800 SkyHigh kernel.
ie. exFAT, init.d (think not working), custom bootanimation & sound support, some more tweaks etc
Edit: forgot to mention, frandom is only 1/2 way there. Removed from initramfs SkyHigh install script as well. Will look into it in good time.
Please be patient, I have other things to do
Thanks so much! Will flash asap.

Downloading, thanks to make our tablet live.
Many thanks UpInTheAir..
You're the only reason my P6810 is not for sale.:highfive:
Thank you very much
Just for a change, been having a play around cooking a test ROM and mods. Been a while since I've done that, but it's like riding a bike, little shaky a first, but never forget. I have no plans for the ROM.
Will take a look at this kernel again tomorrow. Expect an update in the next day or so.

Update on development.
Update on development.
Looks like the next update could be a little longer than hoped.
Have managed to get just about everything working same as current P6800 kernel (plus implementing fstrim lagfix on boot),.......
EXCEPT USB-OTG keeps constantly mounting/unmounting. Have not found the exact cause yet, and is something to do with the initramfs SkyHigh.sh install script or maybe the init.rc entry to initiate it.
I have compiled 20-30 kernels today, time for a break.......
v1.5.0 update
>> v1.5.0 UPDATE <<
** FOR P6810 Wi-Fi device running bodivas JB 4.1.2 DXMD3 ROM Port ONLY !! **
++ SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM USB-OTG WORKS - I THINK MY ADAPTER IS BROKEN ++
1. Read warnings in Post #3 before flashing. I am not responsible, you are
2. Clear your CPU Control app defaults first. device settings/applications/all/"your control app"/clear data
3. You will need a CPU control app to adjust the CPU freq from the safe startup values (OC / UV / UC)
4. Recommend 200-1400 -or- 200-1600 MHz
5. Recommended governors etc = Read Post #3
CHANGE-LOG v1.0.0 -> v1.5.0
* R/W and auto-mounting of exFAT USB-OTG & external sdcard
* Modded ROM /system/etc/vold.fstab to permit exFAT mounting
* IO scheduler set the same for internal & external sdcards via initramfs : default = SIO
* Updated to SuperSU 1.65 & binary v1.61 (installs only if you don't have any)
* fstrim lagfix on boot (trims system, data & cache) - slows down reboot, but who cares, aren't we more concerned with using device?
* Frandom now working
* Fixed all initramfs mods & tweaks
* init.d support & set to 777
* Thunderbolt IO scheduler tweaks
* Power saving & virtual memory tweaks
* Increased windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec from 90 to 200
* External sdcard read ahead cache set to 1664 KB
* Custom boot animation support
* Custom boot sound support
* Removed some module debugging
* Force close freeze fix
TO-DO
* Lots
INSTALLATION
1. NANDROID (just in case)
2. Flash bodivas P6810 JB 4.1.2 ROM Port
3. Remove any previous CPU control settings from starting at boot
4. Flash in :
a) CWM.zip in custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
-or-
b) ODIN.tar in Odin [PDA] / Mobile Odin4. THIS WILL PROBABLY "BREAK" currently installed V6SuperCharger scripts ! (test kernel first, and then re-install scripts)
5. Reboot again to fstrim your partitions
SUGGESTED CPU CONTROL APP : Trickster Mod app
Don't forget to use only one Control app at a time. They will conflict !
CURRENT BUGS :
* Random screen tint (Read Post #3)
* The CPU freq may exceed the max cap setting on wakeup. ie max CPU freq set @ 1400 MHz -> turn on screen -> 1600 Mhz very very briefly -> then back down
Can't fix the CPU Level 0 bug. Refer to my post HERE. It is a FIRMWARE bug present in both stock and SkyHigh kernels

* 18-step CPU : add 1700 & 1800 MHz CPU OC options (for battery & stability, not recommended above 1600 MHz)
* zRAM (still off by default)
use two CPU's (zram0 & zram1)
zRAM tweak* decrease IO latency
* mount partitions NOATIME and NODIRATIME by default
* add sysfs interface to enable / disable thermal throttle (default on) – be careful here, do you want to melt your CPU?
* tweak default xz compression ratio for slightly faster boot speed
* +25mV for all CPU freq 100-1400 MHz - stock levels now (you can UV yourself)
* disable gentle fair sleepers - improve UI responsiveness
* disable linux printk & add sysfs interface to enable / disable
* enable Westwood+ TCP algorithm (default still cubic) – some testing by other users show an increase a network throughput – test for yourself and share results!
** initramfs changes
* Virtual memory & kernel tweak values from V6SuperCharger - [email protected]
vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0
vm.panic_on_oom=0
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=10
vm.overcommit_memory=1
kernel.panic_on_oops=0
kernel.panic=0
* RAM Management values from V6SuperCharger - [email protected]
tweak LMK OOM adj & minfree values (512HP Super UL)
much reduced lag as current apps aren't starved of memory when android LMK kills off background apps
slightly less mutli-tasking
SkyhIgh default :
adj = 0,3,6,10,12,15
minfree = 2048,3584,19200,23040,24320,32000 (8-14-75-90-95-125 MB)
* init.d support moved to end of script
* fstrim lagfix - fixed having to reboot twice after enable ".lagfix_on". Just create the file in internal sdcard and reboot ONCE
* auto set init.d scripts to 777 – no need to manually set script permissions, just drop in & reboot

* Busfreq up & down threshold control
Stock / SkyHigh default = 23
* Busfreq (memory) voltage group
default group = 1 (stock)
available group options 1 > 7
L0 = 400 L1 = 267 L2 = 160 MHz
1 > {1150000, 1050000, 1050000} SkyHigh default / stock
2 > {1125000, 1025000, 1025000}
3 > {1100000, 1000000, 1000000}

* Set L2 bus (memory) speed from 133 > 160 MHz
- Default MHz now:
L0 = 400
L1 = 267
L2 = 160 MHz / 1000 mV (stock = 133 MHz / 950 mV)
* Adaptive vfs_cache_pressure on suspend / resume
Hard coded values :
- Set @ 10 = save battery on device suspend
- Set @ 60 = better smoothness on device resume
Low vfs_cache pressure values save battery while idle, while a low value also causes stutter with longer up times.
* Governors
pegasusq = SkyHigh default (siyah kernel version & "freq for responsiveness" tweaked to 500 MHz by me)
HYPER
scary
wheatley
abyssplug
lulzactiveq (siyah kernel version & tweaked by me)
lazy
hotplug

P6800 GSM/3G JB 4.1.2 DXMD3 ONLY
INSTALLATION
** DO NOT USE ANY 3RD PARTY TWEAKS OR “PERFORMANCE” TYPE APPS & REMOVE ALL ROM /KERNEL SCRIPTS FROM /system/etc/init.d FOLDER **
1. NANDROID (just in case)
2. Have installed any P6800 JB 4.1.2 ROM based from official Samsung sources
3. Remove any previous CPU control settings from starting at boot, remove any 3rd party tweaks etc
4. Flash in custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) to auto wipe previous kernel profile remnants ie. crontab. logs & /data/.siyah folder
5. If requested by Recovery to install SU, DO NOT. Instead - Let the kernel do it on boot

FAQ & HELP
FAQ & HELP
MY RECOMMENDATIONS
* Governor = pegasusq, lulzactiveq, or ZZMoove
* IMO = Performance → → Battery
1. on-demand
2. pegasusq (snappy, but easier on battery than on-demand)
3. lulzactiveq
4. ZZMoove
* Scheduler = SIO
* CPU freq = 200-1400/1600 MHz
* CPU vdd levels = SkyHigh "defaults"
* Enable zRAM for better mulitasking
* CPU Control app = ExTWeaks
Don't forget to use only one Control app at a time. They will conflict !
ISSUES?
1 Remove any kernel related init.d tweaks, 3rd party performance type apps etc
2 Wipe your CPU control app(s) data (menu > settings > applications > "your control app(s)" > clear data/cache)
3 Use only ONE CPU control app ! USE EXTweaks
4 Open SuperSU app > settings > full unroot (or unroot from with EXTweaks options)
5 Boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik cache
6 Re-flash SkyHigh Kernel
7 If requested by recovery - DO NOT install root (let the kernel do it)
9 Reboot
8 If still issue such as bootloop etc, try using MPLL mode for GPU, and or increase GPU voltages +50 mV
9 Try a kernel "legacy" versions
10 Back to stock for you
RANDOM SCREEN TINT AFTER CHANGING GOVERNOR
* Turn screen OFF-ON
* Use only SkyHigh defaults values
* Don't use a CPU control app to change kernel settings - Use init.d script instead
* OR IF IT BOTHERS YOU,...... DON'T USE THE KERNEL
zRAM
Info here : (INFO)What is zram and how does it work???
LOGS
* You can find various ExTweaks logs in the /data folder:
/data/.siyah
/data/extSdCard_fix.log
/data/fsrepair.log
/data/fstrim_lagfix.log
/data/Ran_FixEmissions.log

PREVENT/REDUCE SCREEN-OFF FLICKER FOR CRT-OFF ANIMATION ENABLED ROMs
* Set fbearlysuspend msleep between 100 and 500 ms
* Set to 0 if you haven't any CRT-off animation mod
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

WHAT IS A CUSTOM KERNEL
* First of all, watch this : Android Basics 101: Understanding Kernels – XDA Developer TV
* Is usually' modified and complied from source.
* My very first successfully compiled kernel just included the "SkyHigh" name. I suppose you could call that a modified "stock" kernel. On the other hand, you could also argue that any firmware modified from either official or built from sources could be called "custom".
HAVE THE STOCK KERNELS ATTACHED BEEN MODIFIED
* If you are referring to the stock MD3 kernels in Post #2, NO
* I just extracted the zImage from official firmware and repackaged for flashing via custom recovery or Odin. There are no changes made to the zImage. I have no plans to modify these.
ENTROPY
* MAX pool sixe 4096
* It's not instant, just use your device and it will grow.
* No need for entropy generator apps that consume battery (use extra CPU cycles)
WHAT ARE GOVERNORS / SCHEDULERS ETC
* Excellent source of info by droidphile :
[REF][TWEAKS] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers, CPU Tweaks, AIO App Configs
FSTRIM LAGFIX
* fstrim is more of a maintenance binary. Android 4.2.2 and below are more prone to lag over time and prevalent as your internal storage is used up.
* Trims system, preload, data & cache partitions
* fstrim binary set to run by init.d 90lagfix script after boot to reduce impact on boot time
* A manual reboot once a week is suggested. Those users who have ample internal storage and or recently formatted their partitions via ROM flash or Nandroid restore may see little difference for now.
* More info : Google yourself or Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM 20130829
CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATION SUPPORT
1. copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ folder (mount folder r/w to paste)
2. ensure set permissions rw-rw-rw-
3. reboot
NOTE :
* For any further help or instructions for bootanimation, please open your own forum Q&A thread or post in a relevant bootanimation thread. There are many already built and can be found by searching.
* The size we need for our tab is 800x1280 or 1280x800 (depending on portrait or landscape)
CUSTOM BOOT SOUND SUPPORT
* Place custom boot sound PowerOn.ogg in /system/media
* To mute, create an empty file named mute in /system/media
* To unmute, create an empty file named unmute in /system/media
* To restore original boot sound, create an empty file named ori_sound in /system/media
* Reboot device after each process
NOTE :
* when creating a custom boot sound, make sure you use a capital "P" and "O" in PowerOn.ogg
* I will not provide a tutorial for creating boot sounds, you can Google yourself
BENCH-MARKING
Freeze or Re-Boot
1 Try increase CPU 1600 Mhz voltage by +25 mV or +50 mV. I would not recommend any more than that !
2 Lower CPU OC back to stock max 1400 MHz setting
3 To find out which frequency cause the freeze :
a) If you have UV the CPU and the device freeze, obviously you need to increase the voltage to a particular frequency step(s)
b) Do a stress test with SetCPU (or other app) and lock your max frequency for each step (DO NOT SET ON BOOT WHILST TESTING)
4 Try a different governor
5 Use a different benchmark app/tool
AnTuTu Crashes?
* Try another benchmark app !
Low Bench-Marking Scores
* Consectutive tests as well as OC may heat the CPU high enough where thermal limiting occurs. Well here you go........... I observed my CPU regularly drop to 800 MHz after hitting a thermal limit during testing.
Here's the proof !
https://github.com/UpInTheAir/P6800_JB_SkyHigh_Kernel/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-px.c
Code:
#ifdef CONFIG_EXYNOS4_SETUP_THERMAL
/* below temperature base on the celcius degree */
struct s5p_platform_tmu px_tmu_data __initdata = {
.ts = {
[COLOR="Red"].stop_1st_throttle = 61,
.start_1st_throttle = 64,[/COLOR]
.stop_2nd_throttle = 87,
.start_2nd_throttle = 103,
.start_tripping = 110,
.start_emergency = 120,
.stop_mem_throttle = 80,
.start_mem_throttle = 85,
},
.cpufreq = {
.limit_1st_throttle = [COLOR="Red"]800000[/COLOR], /* 800MHz in KHz order */
.limit_2nd_throttle = 200000, /* 200MHz in KHz order */
* With some undervolt and governor tuning, little OC impact will be felt on battery. Not everyone fixes their CPU to max with performance governor so, providing your hardware can handle it, some OC should be OK for everyday use as the CPU only briefly scales to max freq with the 'right' governor.
* As you can see, this could be easily changed to allow (cheat) in benchmarks. This won't make much difference to everyday use, but IMO shouldn't be touched. My silicon may not handle it
RESET CUSTOM FLASH COUNTER
*There is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 flash counter introduced for P6800 JB 4.1.2 DXMD3, so any modified ROM, kernel or recovery flashed via PC Odin will increase the counter.
1. Have installed my P6810/P6800 SkyHigh kernel for JB 4.1.2 (patched for triangle away compatibility)
2. Install triangle away app v3.26
3. Reset counter
4. Reboot as requested
5. To check > open app again, or, power off and enter download mode
* Your custom ROM, kernel, recovery & root remain intact
Anything else, IF I find the time

Nice!
I was planning to do this for sometime but I'm stuck at other things. I have already prepared the config for 6810 and i815. If you have time, I can send you those files to build the kernel for p6810. Hoping it will help you creating a custom stock rom for p6810 before Samsung!
Thanks again for contribution to our community! :good:

Sounds great. Thanks !
Much easier to build and test with device in hand, so hoping for the official P6810 JB update soon. Although appreciate what you bring to the community with JB, If Samsung haven't released it in the next month, probably sell the tab for the "next big thing", as long as it's 7 or 8 in...... My 9 yo boy wants the tab though, so things could still change

already flashed.
booting : ok
overclock to 1600: work
set pegasusq governor: work
will try to uv and report.

Already sent the link in PM. It should work with the latest JB source for 6800.
Good luck and let's hear more good news!

Seems to me that a Tab 7.7 is about perfect for a little boy.
Keep it in the family:good:

Hi, move to see that our device is not given up by developers
One request: after moving to JB I noticed that the sound is much lower in JB. Is it possible to fix it?

Probably a way. In the mean time, take a look at this thread for SGS4 and see if it's applicable to your device....
Maybe with just a few minor adjustments, you can tweak from within your own ROM. Worth a look.

Hi, how about NTFS filesystem support? I put via OTG usb flash drive 32gb formated as NTFS and tab can't recognize drive.
ROM is eRobot v1.0 and kernel is SkyHigh Kernel v0.7. May be i don't make some settings?

Firstly, does it work with your external sdcard formatted as NTFS ?
Secondly, Try USB OTG Helper app from Google Play and see if you have any luck mounting the USB stick.
Third, does it work with the stock kernel? You haven't said as I requested in OP...

Sweet !
Have you stress test each step to ensure stability?
You will need to lock the max frequency to that of each step, make sure it is NOT "set on boot" (during testing), so you can recover easily if device freeze or reboot occurs.
As a previous user didn't bother to give any further feedback on the NTFS, could someone using this kernel please check this:
1. Run Android Terminal Emulator app
2. su
3. Allow Superuser permission
4. lsmod
( the "l" is a lower case "L" )
What do you have? Please post a screenshot.
Also, check system/lib/modules for ntfs.ko
Cheers

BUGS
* Check if it is actually a stock firmware bug first using stock kernel -BEFORE- posting in this thread or elsewhere
1. The CPU freq may exceed the max setting on wakeup. ie max CPU freq set @ 1400 MHz -> turn on screen -> 1600 Mhz very very briefly -> then back down
* Can't fix the above CPU Level 0 bug. Refer to my post HERE. It is a FIRMWARE bug present in both stock and SkyHigh kernels
.
FAQ & HELP
FAQ & HELP
MY RECOMMENDATIONS
* Governor = pegasusq - lulzactiveq - ZZMoove
* IMO = Performance → → Battery
1. on-demand
2. pegasusq
3. lulzactiveq
4. ZZMoove
* Scheduler = SIO
* CPU freq = 200-1400/1600 MHz
* CPU vdd levels = SkyHigh "defaults"
* Enable zRAM
* CPU Control app = Trickster Mod app
Don't forget to use only one Control app at a time. They will conflict !
ISSUES?
1 Remove any kernel related init.d tweaks
2 Wipe your CPU control app(s) data (menu > settings > applications > "your control app(s)" > clear data/cache)
3 Use only ONE CPU control app !
4 Open SuperSU app > settings > full unroot
5 Boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik cache
6 Flash SkyHigh Kernel
7 Reboot
BASIC TRICKSTER MOD APP TUTORIAL
** Open app and ensure SU permission is granted **
1. Make your changes
2. Apply (tap the "✔")
3. Enable (I use notification as well)
4. Reboot, you can see the notification after start-up
zRAM

PREVENT/REDUCE SCREEN-OFF FLICKER FOR CRT-OFF ANIMATION ENABLED ROMs

* Set to 0 if you haven't any CRT-off animation mod
DYNAMIC READ-AHEAD
DYNAMIC FSYNC CONTROL
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

ANDROID LOGGER SYSFS INTERFACE
* Switching done via /sys/kernel/logger_mode interface
* Default is 0 (off)
WHAT IS A CUSTOM KERNEL
* Is 'usually' modified and complied from source.
* My very first successfully compiled kernel just included the "SkyHigh" name. I suppose you could call that a modified "stock" kernel. On the other hand, you could also argue that any firmware modified from either official or built from sources could be called "custom".
HAVE THE STOCK KERNELS ATTACHED BEEN MODIFIED
* If you are referring to the stock MD3 kernels in Post #2, NO
* I just extracted the zImage from official firmware and repackaged for flashing via custom recovery or Odin. There are no changes made to the zImage. I have no plans to modify these.
ENTROPY
* MAX pool sixe 4096
* It's not instant, just use your device and it will grow.
* No need for entropy generator apps that consume battery (use extra CPU cycles)
WHAT ARE GOVERNORS / SCHEDULERS ETC
* Excellent source of info by droidphile :
[REF][TWEAKS] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers, CPU Tweaks, AIO App Configs
CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATION SUPPORT
1. copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ folder (mount folder r/w to paste)
2. ensure set permissions rw-rw-rw-
3. reboot
NOTE :
* For any further help or instructions for bootanimation, please open your own forum Q&A thread or post in a relevant bootanimation thread. There are many already built and can be found by searching.
* The size we need for our tab is 800x1280 or 1280x800 (depending on portrait or landscape)
CUSTOM BOOT SOUND SUPPORT
* Place custom boot sound PowerOn.ogg in /system/media
* To mute, create an empty file named mute in /system/media
* To unmute, create an empty file named unmute in /system/media
* To restore original boot sound, create an empty file named ori_sound in /system/media
* Reboot device after each process
NOTE :
* when creating a custom boot sound, make sure you use a capital "P" and "O" in PowerOn.ogg
* I will not provide a tutorial for creating boot sounds, you can Google yourself
BENCH-MARKING
Freeze or Re-Boot
1 Try increase CPU 1600 Mhz voltage by +25 mV or +50 mV. I would not recommend any more than that !
2 Lower CPU OC back to stock max 1400 MHz setting
3 To find out which frequency cause the freeze :
a) If you have UV the CPU and the device freeze, obviously you need to increase the voltage to a particular frequency step(s)
b) Do a stress test with SetCPU (or other app) and lock your max frequency for each step (DO NOT SET ON BOOT WHILST TESTING)
4 Try a different governor
5 Use a different benchmark app/tool
AnTuTu Crashes?
* Try another benchmark app !
Low Bench-Marking Scores
* Consectutive tests as well as OC may heat the CPU high enough where thermal limiting occurs. Well here you go........... I observed my CPU regularly drop to 800 MHz after hitting a thermal limit during testing.
Here's the proof !
https://github.com/UpInTheAir/P6800_JB_SkyHigh_Kernel/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-px.c
Code:
#ifdef CONFIG_EXYNOS4_SETUP_THERMAL
/* below temperature base on the celcius degree */
struct s5p_platform_tmu px_tmu_data __initdata = {
.ts = {
[COLOR="Red"].stop_1st_throttle = 61,
.start_1st_throttle = 64,[/COLOR]
.stop_2nd_throttle = 87,
.start_2nd_throttle = 103,
.start_tripping = 110,
.start_emergency = 120,
.stop_mem_throttle = 80,
.start_mem_throttle = 85,
},
.cpufreq = {
.limit_1st_throttle = [COLOR="Red"]800000[/COLOR], /* 800MHz in KHz order */
.limit_2nd_throttle = 200000, /* 200MHz in KHz order */
* With some undervolt and governor tuning, little OC impact will be felt on battery. Not everyone fixes their CPU to max with performance governor so, providing your hardware can handle it, some OC should be OK for everyday use as the CPU only briefly scales to max freq with the 'right' governor.
* As you can see, this could be easily changed to allow (cheat) in benchmarks. This won't make much difference to everyday use, but IMO shouldn't be touched. My silicon may not handle it
GPU init.d SCRIPTS
How to install/run :
1. Mount system/etc/init.d folder [R/W]
2. Copy your script to your system/etc/init.d folder
3. Set script permission to 777
4. Reboot
-OR-
Use root explorer app (Linux script handler) -or- script manager app to run script - no need to reboot
[Q] How do I check the script worked?
[A] Check values changed in files:
sys/class/misc/......
gpu_clock_control (gpu_control & gpu_staycount)
gpu_voltage_control (gpu_control)
[Q] How do I check it's a valid frequency?
[A] I observed the live GPU freq values in sys/module/mali/parameters/mali_gpu_clk. I use the Cool Tool app in the "label" section
ANYTHING ELSE
When I find the time
.
Thought all you P6810 users would be getting starved of flashing, so here you go ! Upload in a minute or two :laugh:
EDIT:
This kernel has been compiled using the XXLPP initramfs.
It may work properly on other P6810 ICS firmware, it may not.
++ If you wish to have it compiled correctly for your firmware, please post your stock ICS firmware zImage. Time permitting, I'll try compile a kernel for you.
.
Thanks, giving it a shot now on your old SkyHigh ROM. Nice to have something new that isn't fraught with AOSP issues (though of course all respect to daniel_hk for his amazing work!).
Maybe some day Samsung will remember that they released a wifi tab 7.7 and give us JB like the P6800 folks. /sigh

Just remember to follow installation the instructions and post #3, clear any kernel related tweaks from init.d folder first etc. If you have mods such as V6SuperCharger etc, flashing the kernel will most probably "break it".
Best flashed on a "clean" system without any tweaks, and build on it from there.

If I get the time later today, might try and make an "EXTREME" version. Don't know how it'll go....
- GPU 5 steps
- GPU max 533 / min 108 ?? Galaxy Note can do it with same hardware. Individual hardware is not quite made to exactly same spec though.
- UV GPU stock freqs

That's always good advice, but I'm too lazy to do a full wipe unless something goes wrong. As always of course, I won't claim bugs without it but most of the time these things go fine.
Anyway, I haven't done many tests yet, but for the moment at least it seems a bit more responsive. So far so good!

No problem.
If you have any init.d script for scheduler etc, suggest to remove that and use the kernel default (SIO) or ROW. Otherwise it will override on boot the kernel default or possible CPU control app settings.
If installed, V6SuperCharger will be broken as well as CrossBreeder. You will need to go to their respective threads and reinstall.

Maybe at some point will try and look into it.
Currently playing around with adding another GPU step (5) max 520 MHz. Not sure if I'll make it permanent yet.
Already tested working and implemented 16 step CPU with freq/vdd control interface 100-1600 MHz(up from 7). Will be in next release, along with the brick bug "fix". Obviously, I'm not going to test the "fix" actually works

SetCPU, voltage control, nsTools (free) etc can all set governors, IO schedulers, UV CPU control, UC/OC etc
With SetCPU, you can also tweak certain governors etc, maybe the voltage control (paid) can as well, not sure

FOR P6810 WIFI ICS 4.0.4 ONLY
Installation as per Posts #1-3
Change-log
* increased 4-step to 5-step GPU 114-160-267-533 MHz
* Increased 7 to 16-step CPU 100 - - - - - - -> 1600 MHz & voltage interface
* Increased pegasusq (siyah) "freq for responsiveness" from 500 to 800 MHz. Maybe slightly more battery, but with UV will be negligible.
* Removed reference to "Brick Bug". Look in gitHub commit
* Slightly UV GPU freq voltage levels. Not sure if it's actually done right, but no negative affects though.
* Couple other small GPU less aggressive threshold adjustments etc.
* Kernel compression changed from Gzip to LZMA fto reduce zImage size. Boot may take a second longer.
* Updating OP now. Will update OP freq.vdd table later on.
++ Although I have increased the GPU max freq from 400 to 533, I don't really expect any real noticeable (real life) performance increase from 400 MHz. My GPU benchmark testing indictaes a relative low increase, if nothing at all.

v2.0.0 UPDATE
>> v2.0.0 UPDATE <<
FOR P6810 WIFI ICS 4.0.4 ONLY
1. Read warnings in Post #3 before flashing. I am not responsible, you are
2. If you dare to flash, you will need a CPU control app to adjust the CPU freq from the safe startup values
3. Recommend 100-1600 MHz
INSTALLATION as per Posts #1-3
DOWNLOAD in Post #2
CHANGE-LOG
* Increase from 16-step to 18 step CPU
* CPU min/max safe startup freq default = 200 -> 1400 MHz
* CPU min/max safe voltage = 800 -> 1450 mV
* CPU OC to 1700 or 1800 MHz with CPU control app
* UC to 100 MHz with CPU control app
* CPU 100 MHz voltage increased +25 mV to 950 mV for stability
* In-built CIFS network filesystem support (not tested)
* In-built NFS network filesystem support (not tested)
* In-built zRAM support (not tested)
* pegasusq (siyah) governor "freq for responsiveness" decreased to 500 MHz for a little battery saving
Info here : (INFO)What is zram and how does it work???
You need :
(i) a relevant partition (Linux swap partition and set as PRIMARY)
(ii) & init.d script or this app [APP][14/5/13]Zram & Swap Control [CACHE & PARTN] V2.5.5 Sammy 4.2.2 compatible!
(iii) Can I help you set it up. No, I don't use it
* BTW - I couldn't get great benchmark results at 1800 MHz due to thermal throttling of the CPU to 800 MHz.
In other words, I used Cool Tool app to show CPU freq on screen whilst benchmark. I could see the 1800 MHz max, then limited to 800 MHz due to EXCESSIVE CPU HEAT !
There is a way to increase the thermal limits, but I don't want my silicon melted ! I am sure 1600 MHz is more than enough.
* BUG : The CPU freq may exceed the max setting on wakeup. ie max CPU freq set @ 1400 MHz -> turn on screen -> 1800 Mhz very very briefly -> then back down

No worries
Just be aware that the default is now set back to 200-1400 (15-step CPU), but you can use an app to UC/OC up to 18-step I do however recommend the 100-1600, works nicely on my tab.
Just that little bug I can't take care of for the next month away
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
If anyone with prior experience setting up their device and using CIFS, ZRAM, or NFS, please report back if you have it working with v2.0.0.
I have absolutely none, and am away and unable to even try.

Let things stabilize and cool before touching anything
BETTER BATTERY LIFE
There are no best settings. User "HABIT" is #1 cause of battery drain, followed by screen, ROM & apps, modem etc
This kernel is built to be balanced with a good mix of battery whilst keeping performance
Decrease screen brightness
Use dark wallpapers and app themes
Check your wakelocks with better battery stats app & use Greenify app to stop unwanted apps self starting and running in the background
Suggest:
CPU GOV: governor = ondemand (tweaked for power efficient workqueues)
CPU FREQ: 200 > 1900 MHz (-25 mV for all)
Synapse: CPU MULTICORE: Hotplug CPU UP boost = 30 %
GPU: 100 > 480 MHz (-50 mV for all) (100 MHz may induce some GUI sluggishness)
GPU: Midgard Power policy control = coarse_demand
GPU: Midgard Power policy threshold control = Battery (may induce some GUI sluggishness)
PowerSuspend Driver = Enable
MEMORY: Dynamic FSync = Enable
MEMORY: Dirty Page Writeback = Enable
CPU Multicore Power Saving = (2) Agressive
BETTER PERFORMANCE
DO NOT POST ANY BUG REPORTS REGARDING SOD, FREEZE or REBOOT WHERE YOU (USER) HAS CHANGED ANY VOLATGE OR FREQUENCY FROM DEFAULT !!
Disable DVFS with [APP][Android 4.0+][DVFS Disabler]
Warmer device under heavy load, but within the safe CPU temp of 95 degC
Synapse: CPU FREQ: 500 > 2000 MHz (2100 not stable for some devices)
Synapse: CPU MULTICORE: Power Efficient WQ = disabled
Synapse: CPU GOV: use Interactve governor
Synapse: GPU: set Midgard Power policy threshold profile to Ondemand or Performance. This will scale your GPU up/down faster at the expensive of battery life compared to Battery profile.
Synapse: GPU: GPU max freq = 533 MHz (more if your device is stable)
Synapse: MEMORY: UKSM = enabled
Synapse: ADVANCED: LMK profile = aggressive
GPU THESHOLD CONTROL
Set Midgard Power policy threshold profile (This determine how your GPU freq scales up/down):
Battery = battery friendly
Ondemand = Good all-round mix
Performance = A little agressive
Method:
Ensure you apply [] any changes to MIN / MAX GPU freq or GPU GOV Threshold profile
PRESS THE "Apply GPU GOV SETTINGS" button !!
Settings will be applied immediately and auto set on every boot.
HOW TO BACKUP YOUR STOCK KERNEL BEFORE FLASHING SkyHigh KERNEL
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Select Backup
Select "[X] Boot" only (boot.img/kernel)
Select Storage > Micro SD (if external sdcard installed) > OK
Swipe to backup
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
HOW TO MONITOR LIVE CPU & GPU VALUES
CPU load & freq - available RAM - GPU freq - CPU temp - most resource intensive process
[APP][2.1+] Cool Tool
Download my personal cooltool_presets > unzip & copy folder to INTERNAL sdcard. If you have cool tool app already running, you must disable > overwrite existing folder > enable
LITTLE CORE CPU FREQUENCY
Real frequency is apparently double that reported by other apps
Example: min 200 MHz (real) in Synapse is reported as 100 MHz in SetCPU
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place (Thanks to XDA) - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DO NOT KILL PROCESSES
This feature allows the user to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
When a the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
You can find the [SkyHigh/Synapse] folder on your internal sdcard and add one process name per line. Lists updated on reboot.
Max 25 processes
Example only:
Code:
com.ea.games_r3_row
com.quoord.tapatalkxdapre.activity
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

SEGMENTATION FAULT
I don't believe it's kernel related, but rather busybox
Try uninstall your ROM busybox with this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox and reboot.
Re-flash kernel
Use the busybox that comes with the kernel located in /sbin
Also try to update your SuperSu and su binary if it asks and reboot.
USB KEYBOARD / MOUSE
Base project: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
Required app: USB KEYBOARD
For best results, enable & use Hacker's Keyboard
Steps:
Ensure device USB debugging
Connect device to system via USB cable
Enable in Synapse > USB > USB Keyboard / Mouse >> Enable & apply
Start USB KEYBOARD app
BATTERY SCALING CALIBRATION - FUEL GAUGE RESET
Tap [Fuel-Gauge reset] in synapse BATTERY section
Reboot device
Battery % "reporting" calibration (digital)
a) Deplete battery to 5-10% (NOT ZERO)
b) Charge UNINTERUPTED until FULL (don't touch)
c) Unplug and then use normally. Device should then re-calibrate itself

Hi @UpInTheAir
I just had a small question you firmware is based on the ANG2. (CHN) right I had the ANFB. On a T800 wifi with stock rom I didn't like the other roms so far but I want to try your firmware not sure if flashing yours can break my tab . Do you had any subjections?
Thanks for sharing your work

No, source is Japan.
The ramdisk is ANG2 from China.
I don't have a 10.5" device so can't really comment except try for yourself. If you're worried, just back up your data (titanium backup app) before hand along with boot.img for your device (TWRP) to exSdCard. The kernel may or may not work properly on older firmware such as FB etc. Up to user to try for yourself.

Thanks mate I will try tomorrow morning thanks
Hi
I tried it, and to be honest, I don't feel any improvement currently, I guess I need to use it some days to check.
I tried Antutu Benchmark, just to see... No matter settings I try in Synapse, default, or boosted CPU/GPU, results are lower with SkyHigh kernel.
~34500 with Stock Kernel
~33000/33500 with SkyHigh Kernel
Thank you

You might need to read Post #3 again, and the last few pages of the 8.4" kernel thread regarding heat and throttling.
I have said before that we might need newer source and I can't do magic with that. My older firmware + SkyHigh kernel (older source) scored 36200 standard AnTuTu (edit: just with GPU OC) but I don't really care. I don't live for the benchmark, and I certainly don't see any negative impact on general use
There are other features to the kernel, and if they don't suit user needs, I've included the stock kernel for download
Other than that, we just need to wait to better firmware and source.
I did read the #3 post, don't worry I was not trashtalking
Of course I see there is other interesting features
Again, thank you for your work

I realize that, no worries Just edited previous post.....
This newer firmware just runs hotter with older & newer kernel source. Throttling is induced earlier > decreased benchmark performance. Maybe a newer ROM or kernel source will help, time will tell.

I don't have the time or desire to expand on the commitments I have already (particularly for yet another device I don't use). There is no "porting", but would need complete build and patch from source for your own hardware .......

Might be an update towards end of week. Just testing ATM and trying to get final Synapse controls just right.
[KERNEL] [CM PORT] [07 Oct] SkyHigh Kernel [R3_v1.4] [Synapse ++]
I only have so much free time, so I don't plan to update this kernel. I have other devices I tinker with and personally use.
I have given Devs who have publicly released their CM ROM's (as per GPL and XDA rules) and kernel sources on git, to use what I have done and adapt it to there needs.
This kernel is currently compatible and built for use with the CM ROM Port by @eousphoros. As I don't own or use a T700 WIFI device, I can't guarantee if this kernel will fix any issues or create more. Up to YOU to find out
I don't have time to build for any more devices I can't personally test & debug - sorry.
Let get it straight, I am not a real Developer, but I am UpInTheAir, former part time kernel “hack” of TW SM-T700/705/800/805, SM-N9005 LTE, SGT 7.7 JB & ICS Kernels. I now share with you my Exynos5 CM Port SM-T700 WIFI kernel compiled from official Samsung sources.
* I don't pretend to know everything, so if you can be constructive and help out this project, please do so. You will find allot of answers by searching gitHub, XDA and SEARCH Just like I do …......

ISSUES
Uninstall any CPU control apps, tweaks and scripts etc.
Install Wanam DVFS disabler for greater kernel control
Flash kernel
Boot and allow things to stabilize
Open Synapse & tap :
"understood" message about unstable boot
"select all globally"
"undo" button
"apply" ✔
Reboot and ensure "synapse boot completed" toast message
You should be good to go
BOOT-LOOP
Power off & let device cool
Wipe cache & dalvik-cache in recovery (if custom recovery)
Re-flash kernel
Re-boot
Let things stabilize and cool before touching anything
BETTER BATTERY LIFE
There are no best settings. User "HABIT" is #1 cause of battery drain, followed by screen, ROM & apps, modem etc
This kernel is built to be balanced with a good mix of battery whilst keeping performance
Decrease screen brightness
Use dark wallpapers and app themes
Check your wakelocks with better battery stats app & use Greenify app to stop unwanted apps self starting and running in the background
Suggest:
CPU governor = ondemand (tweaked for power efficient workqueues)
CPU 200-1900 MHz -25 mV
GPU 100-480 MHz -50 mV (100 MHz may induce some GUI sluggishness)
PowerSuspend Driver = Enable
Dynamic FSync = Enable
Dirty Page Writeback = Enable
CPU Multicore Power Saving = (2) Agressive
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Disable DVFS with [APP][Android 4.0+][DVFS Disabler]
Warmer device under heavy load, but within the safe CPU temp of 95 degC
HOW TO BACKUP YOUR STOCK KERNEL BEFORE FLASHING SkyHigh KERNEL
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Select Backup
Select "[X] Boot" only (boot.img/kernel)
Select Storage > Micro SD (if external sdcard installed) > OK
Swipe to backup
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
HOW TO MONITOR LIVE CPU & GPU VALUES
CPU load & freq - available RAM - GPU freq - CPU temp - most resource intensive process
[APP][2.1+] Cool Tool
Download my personal cooltool_presets > unzip & copy folder to INTERNAL sdcard. If you have cool tool app already running, you must disable > overwrite existing folder > enable
LITTLE CORE CPU FREQUENCY
Real frequency is apparently double that reported by other apps
Example: min 200 MHz (real) in Synapse is reported as 100 MHz in SetCPU
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place (Thanks to XDA) - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DO NOT KILL PROCESSES
This feature allows the user to define processes and system processes white-lists filled with the preferred process names and to not be killed by lowmemorykiller, unless it is absolutely necessary.
When a the lowmemorykiller needs to free ram, it will first kill the processes not included inside the two process name lists chosen by the user.
If there are no more standard killable processes, then it will be necessary to kill one of the processes included inside one of the two white-lists, to prevent system hangs, slowdowns, etc.
You can find the [SkyHigh/Synapse] folder on your internal sdcard and add one process name per line. Lists updated on reboot.
Max 25 processes
Example only:
Code:
com.ea.games_r3_row
com.quoord.tapatalkxda.pre.activity
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

BACKUP & RESTORE
If the backup isn't visible, reboot device and ensure for have "synapse boot completed" message. Otherwise synapse won't read the file.
Reboot after applying your new settings

SEGMENTATION FAULT
I don't believe it's kernel related, but rather busybox
Try uninstall your ROM busybox with this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox and reboot.
Re-flash kernel
Use the busybox that comes with the kernel located in /sbin
Also try to update your SuperSu and su binary if it asks and reboot.
USB KEYBOARD / MOUSE
Base project: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
Required app: USB KEYBOARD
For best results, enable & use Hacker's Keyboard
Steps:
Ensure device USB debugging
Connect device to system via USB cable
Enable in Synapse > USB > USB Keyboard / Mouse >> Enable & apply
Start USB KEYBOARD app
..
Thanks for the hard work, @UpInTheAir! In coming from the debloated stock rom and your other SkyHigh Kernel should I wipe everything, flash this Kernel and then the CM ROM? Or should I flash the stock kernel, CM Rom, set it up, then flash this kernel?
v1.0 released
R3_v1.0 kernel is now released for T700 WIFI CM Port ROM for supported 8.4" models
Change-log is in Post #2.
Ensure you flash the kernel for your device model !!
NOTE: commit credits are in source.
If you have Synapse issue after UPGRADING, please force stop app and delete Synapse data/cache first

Please read Post #2 REQUIREMENTS section again. First User post is ROM related...........
I have nothing to do with the ROM, and User should read the ROM thread for instructions on how to flash that.
Personally I would.
1. Make Titanium backup saved to external sdcard
2. Make full TWRP backup and saved to external sdcard
3. Format: system, data, cache, internal storage (just to make sure)
4. Flash CM ROM Port
5. Boot device
6. Reboot & flash SkyHigh CM Port kernel

Thanks! Was just rereading your thread and saw that thanks mucho! I'll be giving this a run and looking forward to synapse con CM!
Flip cover
FLIP COVER now working for supported covers !! :highfive: Will be in next release
Tested with official Samsung Flip cover:
Open = screen ON
Close = screen OFF
Before you ask: NO, I don't know how to make this support non-official Flip Covers Patches and work-arounds on other devices don't work
Nice, looking forward to regaining that function on the book cover.

The case functionality worked beautifully. Thanks!
On 2 occasions when quickly opening and closing the case, the power menu came up.
No biggie, went away after closing the case. Even the speed that the screen came on is noticeable faster than on stock rom.

That happened to me once, thought I may have bumped a button..... Obviously not. Edit: can't re-confirm anything, because I'm back to TW
The stock ROM is a lot heavier and more indepth features to resume. There is actually code that can be tweaked for delay in open/close, but I'm not going to fiddle with it. It seems about right. Also the PowerSuspend driver can affect the resume delay too. There are notes in the github commits by Yank.

I don't own a T700 or use CM. I only flashed to my T705 to ensure it booted and kernel functions work.
Who knows about battery. ... The kernel has options exposed for users to tweak how they wish. I can't do any more than this.
Ill try and update this kernel in the next day or so. Just had enough for the moment
I own a T705.
I followed the procedure and although the system booted and the kernel seems to be flashed correctly (at least from what I can see from the info tab under settings), it seems that I lost root. Synapse doesn't work (as it says I have no root).
Now I'm trying to root again and see what happens..
EDIT: Rooting was unsuccessful

Not a kernel problem.....
Read the ROM thread. You need to re-root
My procedure I did was prior to a most recent ROM release where root had been removed.

10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Try latest stock firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed)
12. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
NO - I will not build for any device that I can not compile using same source, personally test method or debug
Otherwise, please do not bother asking
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Two choices:
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox ( v1.23-1-Stericson works for me on stock ROM)
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.
If you wish to restore to a working system, just restore your boot.img backup made previously with recovery (ref: Installation Instructions)
CONFIRMED WORKING STOCK BASE FIRMWARE
T700: XXU1BOE3 or XXU1BOE4 (T700XXU1BOE5 which has a lower change-list does not boot ) or newer
T705: XXU1BOE6 or newer
T800: XXU1BOE2 KXU1BOF2 or newer
T805: XXU1BOE3 or newer
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
HOW TO BACKUP YOUR STOCK KERNEL BEFORE FLASHING SkyHigh KERNEL
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Select Backup
Select "[X] Boot" only (boot.img/kernel)
Select Storage > Micro SD (if external sdcard installed) > OK
Swipe to backup
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
DO NOT POST ANY BUG REPORTS REGARDING SOD, FREEZE or REBOOT WHERE YOU (USER) HAS CHANGED ANY VOLTAGE OR FREQUENCY FROM DEFAULT !!
There are no best settings. User "HABIT" is #1 cause of battery drain, followed by screen, ROM & apps, modem etc
The kernel defaults are balanced with a good mix of battery whilst keeping performance
Decrease screen brightness
Use dark wallpapers and app themes
Check your wakelocks with better battery stats or wakelock detector apps & use Greenify app to stop unwanted apps self starting and running in the background
Synapse:
- CPU GOV: governor = ondemand (tweaked for power efficient work-queues)
- CORTEX: PEQW = Enabled
- CPU FREQ: 200 > 1900 MHz (-25 mV for all 200 > 1900 MHz freqs - depending on asv_group)
- CPU MULTICORE: Hotplug CPU up load = Balance (with Hotplug CPU UP boost >0%)
- CPU MULTICORE: Hotplug CPU UP boost = 60 % (to 90%)
- CPU MULTICORE: CPU Multicore Power Saving = Aggressive
- GPU: Midgard Power policy control = coarse_demand
- GPU: Midgard Power policy threshold control = Battery (may induce some GUI sluggishness with 100 MHz min.)
- GPU: 100 > 480 MHz (-50 mV for all 100 > 480 MHz freqs - depending on asv_group) (Min 100 MHz may induce some GUI sluggishness)
- PowerSuspend Driver = Enable
- MEMORY: Dynamic FSync = Enable
- MEMORY: Dirty Page Writeback = Enable
- IO: RQ Affinity = Enable
PERFORMANCE TIPS
DO NOT POST ANY BUG REPORTS REGARDING SOD, FREEZE or REBOOT WHERE YOU (USER) HAS CHANGED ANY VOLTAGE OR FREQUENCY FROM DEFAULT !!
Disable DVFS with [APP][Android 4.0+][DVFS Disabler] - Warmer device under heavy load, but within the safe CPU temp of 95 degC (NOTE: Xposed for Lollipop is still experimental, so results may vary)
Synapse:
- CPU FREQ: 500 > 2000 MHz (2100 not stable for some devices)
- CPU MULTICORE: Power Savings = Performance
- CPU GOV: use Interactve governor
- GPU: Midgard Power policy threshold profile = On-demand or Performance. (This will scale your GPU up/down faster at the expensive of battery life compared to Battery profile)
- GPU: GPU max freq = 533 MHz (more if your device is stable)
- MEMORY: UKSM = Enabled
- ADVANCED: LMK profile = Aggressive
LITTLE CORE CPU FREQUENCY
Real frequency is apparently double that reported by other apps
Example: min 200 MHz (real) in Synapse is reported as 100 MHz in SetCPU
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use stock ROM base that's confirmed working
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)

CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
WHAT IS F2FS & HOW CAN IT BENEFIT
Info
Improved performance
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable TW DVFS with wanam xposed. You will need his xposed for Samsung Lollipop.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
* [Christopher83]
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
If the backup isn't visible, reboot device and ensure for have "synapse boot completed" message. Otherwise synapse won't read the file.
Reboot after applying your new settings
TCP/IP NETWORK SECURITY
* Thanks to zeppelinrox & V6SuperCharger
Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attack
Bump up tw_buckets in case we get DoS'd
Ignore pings
Don't cache connection metrics from previous connection
Don't pass traffic between networks or act as a router
Enable spoofing protection (turn on reverse packet filtering)
Don't accept source routing
Don't accept redirects

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS
* Thanks to @AtLmd Post
Lock screen MUST be enabled (simple screen lock swipe) I don't know why but it breaks the chromecast app's ability to resume smoothly if switched off
Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST

thanks for your plans to include the Tab into your work. Really appreciated.
Just to ask (I am not sure if this is the right time to ask) if you can include some good sound system (Viper, Wolfson, etc).
Thanks in advance.

Just walked in the door after 2 days of international flights (jet lag big time), please give me some time.
I'm not sure if you realize, but I am the builder of previous SkyHigh kernels for Tab S KitKat, just haven't the time to build for LL until now
Intend to have most features from older SkyHigh KK builds. BTW, Viper is not a kernel feature ..........
But one step at a time
Good stuff been waiting for this. Sky high was always one of the better stable kernels.
Just one request though. Could you build an F2FS compatible one aswell or at least release your source code on your repo so I can build it myself.

I might take a look at some point. I have never tested it, but a 800/805 user did say had it working on KK with SkyHigh + recovery ..........
I just spent 2 hours trying to sort out a compile error, if only I'd checked the GPU code. It has changed in LL and now uses midgard sources :cyclops: Just tired and not thinking straight and cherry-picking without actually looking !!. Continue tomorrow

I read that and he was actually wrong. I could see how he thought it had worked, but the script he used would never have worked on any of our roms, it actually did nothing.
All that happened was that the partition that he formatted to f2fs automatically got formatted back to ext 4 upon first boot.
Your kernel didn't work with an f2fs partition as it needed some modifications to the actual source code to make it work.
It was the same story with iron kernel, but Tkkg managed to get it to work by pulling in some changes from Nvertigo's repo.
I managed to get it to boot after making the required modifications to the ramdisk.
Unfortunately the kernel had other issues which caused the tablet to freeze. This was seemingly caused by adding hotplugging to the kernel.
I was then looking for a good t805 lollipop source to build from until iron kernel was fixed.
Unfortunately your repo didn't have the lollipop kernel source, so just left it alone until I could be bothered again.
For touchwiz LP and CM12.1?
Great news!
Good to be able to OC LP Rom.

Only TW.
Firstly, no disrespect to those Devs, I just find CM boring visually and tacky. It's just my personal opinion, not a criticism of one's choice to build or use There is no "right" or "wrong". Secondly, I don't have time for it other than what I can/want to spare.
Editing OP.
Delete...... Good to see Skyhigh back! Was great in KitKat! Can't wait to see what's in for lollipop

Sure, no problem.
Hi, upintheair, glad to see you come back! a few days ago, I compiled a custom LL kernel, using your gpu hooks. LL kernel uses a different graphic driver, but the code are more or less the same, just modify the corresponding files in midgard then gpu hooks are going to work.! I planned to share my kernel source on github but now you are going to develop a more advanced one, it seems that I can stop doing this and wait for your kernel, once it was out, I will flash it to replace my own.

I woke up early this morning, (body is still in another time zone), and have Synapse up and running.
Have already implemented: CPU voltage control, GPU OC/UC, GPU voltage control, GPU clock & governor control for new sources (not yet committed to github). Could give screen shot, but busy testing before Son goes to school
Just have an issue to sort out (not sure if ROM or kernel yet) for some apps FC on boot. Might be to do with Selinux
Welcome back!! I am glad to see you making kernel for LL. I chose to stay on KitKat as I am getting way too good battery life from your kernel to switch. No lie, I get about a weeks worth of use before I have to charge it. Granted I am not a heavy use, average about 6 - 8 hours of total screen time, but it is truly a join to not have to charge each night. Previously the best I got was a day and half with the same use patterns. Again, welcome back and look forward to your LL kernel. This will now motivate me to upgrade. :good:
I'll probably release v1.0 for T700 & T705 today. Still a bit of work to do yet with Synapse.
T800 & T805 will be a while away yet as first beta reported failed to boot using same source. So I will build for my device first until I'm happy with it's progress, then take a look at 10.5" again.
EDIT: Changed my mind, I wish to continue instead of release. I don't want to hurry. Why stop when I'm on a roll
