Hi. Firtecy Mr. have not build kernel LG SU660 are no? Thank Mr.

Firtecy Kernel #6
Hello,
I would like to know if there is any chance of Firtecy Kernel #6 because it was mentioned some months ago that it is in test phase.
Could you please tell me more about the progress of the Firtecy Kernel #6?

Thanks Firtecy!
I'm not an advanced user so don't mess around will kernel settings. Will the default settings in your kernel give compatible ROMs better performance over Kowalski's older kernel?

It seems to me that this thread is dead. Maybe, no one knows.
Anyway, if you want to know which kernel is the best one, you must try all of them. I have already tried m1 and 3.1 and in my humble opinion I think that the m1 is much better.
But if you are talking about the "default" 3.1 exp. kernel by Kowalski and modified 3.1 Kowalski kernel by Firtecy there are significant improvements in Firtecy version of that kernel. It has got better performance and more options to "customize" the kernel.
I would recommend you to test this kernel for a week and you will see if it fulfills your requirements or not. Also do not forget to read the whole discussion thread where are mentioned some tweaks and optional settings.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I think I'll try Firtecy's latest with the 32MB ramhack next time and check out the thread for tweaks like you said. Seems like it was last updated August 2014 while Kowalski's was last updated end of January 2014.
I do like the M1 and lots of people say it's better. I recently discovered that Google Play Music works on 3.1 though, and it barely works on M1 at all. That was the final thing that made me decide on 3.1 going forward. I don't think I've ever got wifi tether to work on 3.1 though, so I'll miss that.

adbd + TCP congestion-avoidance algorithm
would be nice if it is natively activated (app works fine)
or "on/off" in Kernel Control?!
adbd Insecure - >
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
need it for AndroidCommander on PC, it it is a nice android file manager for Windows with root access
And it would be nice if you insert an option in your Kernel Control for
"TCP congestion-avoidance algorithm"

Mourta Kernel, the continuation of IODAK's excellent work.

Featuring a new cpufreq interface, AbyssplugV2, intelliplug and a whole host of new additions that are not available in any other kernel for the x3.
Among them are updates only found in this kernel, saner defaults via config, better optimizations for the actual code and a rewritten version of devfreq.
It also have an updated baseband configuration and built in rather than to keep a module as it makes no sense to have a vital function as a module.
https://bitbucket.org/mourta/liquid_kernel_lge_p880-stable/
Kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/download/viy5a3dtaccd0gm/mourta-stable-08-23.zip
If there is a request for it i also have a ROM available based on grouper blobs, AD optimizations and a build around this kernel with a new dev tree.
For kernel install, it's anykernel, you can install it on any custom ROM, for stock and the lastest updates you will have to head over to Modaco and my original thread.
Note that this is a one time release, if you like it you'll have to head over to modaco to get updates.
it should be noted that the recommended settings is using intelliplug (you may need to use kernel tweaker or trickster mod for that if you're not running my ROM, and abyssplugv2, i also recommend ROW for a sheduler and Westwood for your congestion handling.
Note that you can now overclock to any frequency and it will feed the GPU chip with the needed volatage, this is great for cooking a roast beef but not for any practical use.
Quadrant scores are 8k and the last Antutu was at 16487, no overclocking but you won't reach that without using my ROM.
And with that... i'm done.
Thanks to the IODAK, Fransico, Adam77Root, Faux123 and others that provided code and/or input.
Oh, what I see here? The awesome kernel I'm testing with @ottomanhero and lucaarx and the great dev and friend @IcanhasLG coming back on xda? Let's rock hard&heavy, right now!

We'll see how this goes.
Thankfully i am in touch with a mod that will keep this drama free,
And for anyone wondering, peppethustra is head of my testing crew, you get stable releases because of them.
It should be noted that i'm still going to prefer the forum that greeted me over the one that shunned me from the get go, updates here will be sporadic at best but on time on the other forum.
It's great to see your work on XDA.Now everyone can experience your awesome work
P.S. you can find neccessary links in my signature
Great work, running your kernel now.
But Iodak was not updated since long ago and its sources does not contain many great fixes from cm11 kernel.
Thats why Demetris relased Cyodak kernel in Android development section. It's Iodak brought up to date with latest cm 11 kernel .
It would great to see Muorta Kernel based on Cyodak instead of old Iodak. We would have your exclusive features with up to date cm11 kernel upgrades. But maybe you already upgraded iodak's source, let us know

Obviously, the real necessary updated patches have been implemented yet ("continuation" means this, too), so it's not necessary nor in Mourta's plans to base it on cyodak (which really isn't the only way to find updated code for our device)

Outdated sources never are a good base for developing a fresh new kernel or ROM, if there is a new compatible code implementation ready to be merged into the code That's the first thing a good developer checks (and if you can, look at Mourta's bitbucket linked in the OP to view his commits, there will be all the principal news about new code implementations)

Go to Modaco and find newer version (26/8/2014) . It will resolve problems like yours
Okay will do.
How's the deep sleep ?

Can you give more info about your ROM, kernel settings, setup etc. and provide a logcat if possible? That's a rare issue you're having there.I've used my phone for 20 hours now, (%3 battery left) and it slept for about 15 hours, same version.
I suggest you to try flashing the kernel twice.I had such problems with iodak kernel back in the time and flashing it twice had fixed the deep sleep issue.

@peter_altherr And more important thing: have you at least wiped cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel? If yes, try wiping system partition too (no factory reset, you can leave /data partiton intact) then reflash ROM, gapps and kernel, and see how it goes..wait 3 or 4 minutes before trying to wake up device, after the first boot, and deep sleep would start without problems
I have tried the 26/8 version but that still gives me RIL problems, I get no signal whatsoever. I cannot grab a logcat as I need my phone to work right now but I'm Running latest beanstalk version.

Wait for next version, great changes will come even about this issue
@peter_altherr you should unplug it from charger and try unplugged.
when charging cpu never reaching deepsleep.
@ whoever had freeze/sod problems with last kernel version: a new fixed release has been uploaded (it's a minor release: reverted GPU OC, which was causing the problem). Check official thread for the download link
my phone does not see SD card with 0902
and yes im 100% sure its kernel problem....recovery sees my sd, and so iodak kernel

Hi Pizza_Dox,
One more kernel for our lovely moto g. ^^
I hope you will go on with your work like that.
The kernel is working pretty well but i would like to have more CPU-govenours and I/O-Shedulers to choose from. Will you add some more in the next time?
@Pizza_Dox
Which app should I use for tweaking your kernel? At the moment I use Kernel toolkit, which force closes now and then. Can you recommend an app?

Yup, thats right. The zRam disable gives me more free ram. Nice work. ^^
I still have a question, i hope i dont bother you with all my questions.
Do i have to enable "intelliplug" and "power-suspend" by my self, or is it enabled by default?
If not, where can I enable those two in kernel auditor?
Thanks answering my questions.
edit:
i found it in the r11 kernel.
Diamond pls. Does this support thea?

gpl | abyss kernel 5.20 | cm-14.x/cm-13.x

Hi falcon people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss is to achieve improved performance/battery without the cost of stability.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on the latest 7.x.x (and maybe 6.x.x) roms like CyanogenMod and any other AOSP based rom.
How does one achieve this?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
Built with Linaro GCC 4.9 optimized for Cortex A7 with vfpv4 technology
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference. It is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs like ours.
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

Asking for ETA's won't be necessary because I use this kernel as my daily driver.
I do not mind if there's some non-development/off-topic discussion here, just no discussion about other works that is nowhere near related to mine.
Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature to abyss?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!
Main Patches and Features:
- intelliplug (default hotplug)
- intelliactive governor
- KCAL Control Driver
- kexec hardboot patch for Multirom
- USB Force Fast Charge patch
- Abyss Optimizations (compiler)
- disabled debugging for more performance throughout
- lots of patches for better performance here and there... too many to list
How to install:
Download kernel from Basketbuild
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
Flash kernel zip
Reboot

Sorry, I won't be adding underclocking to this kernel. There really isn't much of a need for underclocking a phone. In the long run, battery consumption will not be changed, maybe only at the slightest.
Also, the more frequencies added, the slower a CPU governor works. Most governors run calculations based on cpu load, checking whether or not it needs to move up or down a frequency step. By adding more steps, the cpu will throttle slower.
Just updated the kernel with frandom support. Also added some ramdisk modifications to support it.
More entropy == better performance.

Everything is good to go after flashing. The most you could do is increase the Read-ahead size to 258kB or 384kB but there's really no point; it won't do much.

As you kindly allow some non-development/off-topic discussion I´d like to ask a question about kernel flashing.
You write in your installing explanation
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
It´s a thing I often heard before. As an example: When I´m coming from a different kernel (I flashed a custom rom and then changed the kernel) and want to go back to the "stock" one why isn´t it enough to unzip my custom rom and flash the boot.img inside?
Where is the difference to dirty flash the whole rom?
Thx in advance.

Your question is not even close to what I mean when I say off-topic :highfive: (it is on-topic). Some kernel developers add scripts, patches, ramdisk modifications, etc in their zips to tune different types of values. The easiest way to get rid of all of that is by dirty flashing the rom, which replaces the /system partition and ramdisk with fresh ones from the dirty flash.

Thx for your fast reply and good to know that my question was on topic.[emoji6] Some devs are very delicate when someone hijacks their thread.
Your answer declares the other files, that can be found in some flashable zip kernels.
Is there something to pay attention of when dirty flashing the same ROM again? Ok,don't wipe data is a clear thing but I think of unmounting partitions etc to don't mess up.

The Roms updater script will mount the partitions it needs. Just make sure after flashing that you wipe cache and dalvik/art cache. Most gapps have a backup script that prevent it from being removed during dirty flashes. If your gapps are retained, you know you've done it correctly.

If someone (a friend oft mine or my cat, not me!) [emoji41] has deleted this backup script because he thought he doesn't need it anymore I think he has to flash gapps again too?
Thx for making things more clear and reminding me not to delete files flippantly.

Yes you will need to flash gapps again. Make sure that if you still have the backup script to not reflash gapps because I've had conflicts with that before. Not very fun.

Well you should choose:
Decipher: stable,enough features, battery.
Egg: Stable, no extra features, performance.
Performance is much better with egg than decipher.
But in terms of battery, decipher is the clear winner.
I've been using the egg kernel for a few days now with cm13 and it's good enough for me.
Performance is really good. I don't really care about the battery as I always have a charger with me always so I don't really mind.
Overall, egg kernel is pretty good.

How about you answer me this.

Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

How does one get people to not do something in a thread? Back in the older days, that would be by writing something boldly in the OP. Guess that does not work anymore.
Honestly, you can do whatever the heck you want anywhere else, just not in my thread where I have my posting guidelines set.
Edit: also, I clearly state what is different in my kernel from others in the OP
It was just a question,not a comparison

[v1.1.1][KERNEL][lavender] JellyKernelAlpha

Hello,
I started making kernel builds again.
CHECK BELOW FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
YOU MUST USE MIUI Q FIRMWARE PACKAGE FOR THIS KERNEL TO WORK. OTHERWISE YOU'LL END UP IN FASTBOOT MODE FOREVER.
Camera won't work on a lot of ROMs due to imcompatible camera drivers in the kernel. This kernel uses a patch for MIUI Stable 11.0.4 release, which introduced updated camera blobs back in Android Pie. Double check, whether your ROM uses these blobs. MIUI Q uses different blobs too, thus won't work until Xiaomi releases it's kernel source code.
FLASH THIS BEFORE FLASHING MY KERNEL. I UPLOADED FIRMWARE PACKAGE FOR YOUR CONVENIECE!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR MIUI Q FIRMWARE PACKAGE
Flashing procedure is standard - through recovery. Magisk is optional, only if you want root.
*big thanks to rama982 for possible insights and some help from his side*
*nathanchance for android-linux stable and helping upstream our kernels*
*franciscofranco for commits that made our phone happier and snappier*
*sultanxda for his beastly development in Android scene and ridiculous understandment in kernels in general*
*also thanks to osm0sis for Anykernel3. Without this, flashing kernels would be a harder process to do*

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR GITHUB RELEASES
Due to different kernel base, older releases are irrelevant from now on.
UPDATE: I added a link for MIUI Q firmware package in the OP. Check it out and remember to flash it first before flashing my kernel. Thanks.
-------------------------------CHANGELOG------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.1.1 Hotfix
ALSA: pcm: Add missing copy ops check before clearing buffer (bootloop after voip videocall should be gone now)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.1 beta release
IMPORTANT INFO! Camera won't work on a lot of ROMs due to imcompatible camera drivers in the kernel. This kernel uses a patch for MIUI Stable 11.0.4 release, which introduced updated camera blobs back in Android Pie. Double check, whether your ROM uses these blobs. MIUI Q uses different blobs, thus won't work until Xiaomi releases it's kernel source code.
If this kernel is not booting for you (going straight to fastboot mode), you need to use MIUI Q firmware package.
Changelog:
*Bringup for Clang 10 and it's now compiled with Clang 10
*Using LZ4 compression for zRAM
*Forcefully load modules (this should fix Wi-Fi problems on various ROMs)
*Rapid GC for F2FS filesystem
*Added fsync and crc check switches
*kgsl fixes and optimizations included
*Introduce additional NEON accelerated arm64 routines
*cfq io scheduler fixes and optimizations
*Tick rate increased to 300HZ for improved responsiveness
*CPU mask affinity set to 4 cores for improved efficiency
*Enabled F2FS filesystem support with encryption
*F2FS fixes
*Increased slmk's aggression rate to 192MB per app kill
*Enabled Dolby DS2 audio standard
*And more I don't really remember, check commit history for more detailed changes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.0 beta release (don't use this release, it's deprecated)
*Complete rebase on jasmine's Q tag.
*Linux 4.4.211
*Adrenoboost enabled and set on low parameter
*Workqueques reworked for better responsiveness and lower power consumption
*Small UV for both CPU and GPU
*CPU Bitmasking
*DTB debloat (reduced kernel's footprint)
*LA.UM.8.2.r2-00600-sdm660.0 CAF tag
*Using older Wi-Fi CAF tag for better down/up speeds
And more stuff I don't remember.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
-There will be 1-3 kernel builds per week, unless there's nothing I can improve, then builds will be as is.
-Anyone, who has tested it already, give me some feedback in the comments.
-If you get freezes, crashes, restarts, write me up with a attached dmesg, log, anything, that can give me a clue what's wrong. Thanks. Happy JellyKernel'ing ^^

Is the any chance to get the turbo frequencies on the GPU?
I read that on some other page I can't remember where, can you please why that supposed frequency is not on the stock kernels, does it take to much energy?

I believe Qcom left off this frequency just because CPU is already close to some of their flagship SOCs in terms of CPU performance.
Everything in the source code is left done, you just need to modify a code a bit and you have higher frequency. If you want to go any higher, you would need to modify the code a lot more. Tried it and gave up on that.
It could be anything, really.
Moreover, you don't see too many phones using this exact SOC.
P.S. Funny thing though, this OC feels like placebo effect, like CPU is running faster but it's really not.
Think about it, when sdm660 came out, it was between SD821 and SD835 in terms of CPU performance. GPU is more or less the same as Adreno 430.
Gonna release new kernel build soon.
Still working out some quirks I come up every once in the while.
Stay tuned for news. Good day.

Overclocked? Using Evira for now on MIUI 11 Pie, but Evira is outdated..... Can't support Android 10
So, hope can have Overclocked kernel support Android 10

Yep, it's overclocked and it's for Android 10.
I've seen people running this with MIUI too.

Yes, but I don't think I'll keep the OC for much longer. I really don't see the benefit of it.
Phone is already really fast and snappy.
I did a build with stock clocks and compared it to the OC one. And here's the surprise - there isn't almost any difference.
I fixed several known issues which bugged me a lot and those seem to remedy all of the problems I had.
Moreover, I hate overbloated kernels with features I don't use. I like being clean and compact.
Hi, the sound control (for speaker, earpiece and headphones) available or do you plan to add it in future? They get pretty handy really. I do appreciate keeping the kernel without much bloat though. : D
