lowered wifi voltage
OC up to 1.113Ghz
Built in modules for cifs, smartass, tun, conservative, powersave, ext4

Known issues:
Beats will not work. This is not a specific issue with this kernel but rather that the support is not built into the stock kernel. It worked in the port but I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Incredicontrol force closes when trying to open the HAVS tab. This only seems to happen at boot and clears up. Since it clears up on it's own, I don't think it's a kernel issue though but I'm leaving it on here so people are aware.
*Disclaimer*
Please do not report bugs if you overclock or undervolt/overvolt differently than what is set by default. It adds too many variables. Set CPU max back to 998 and report a bug then if it doesn't go away after that.
I am not supporting the older .10 kernels at this time though if you decide to still use it I may need your assistance to get Beats audio working.
*Note*
1. Just because it's been asked before about what ROMs this kernel supports, this kernel does not need to be built to support any particular ROM but is confirmed to be working fine on many of the most popular Gingerbread Sense ROM by multiple users and several leading devs. If it does not work on your ROM let the dev know first in case it's a known issue.
2. Smartass (v1 and v2) has a built in min speed of 245 and will go to the set min speed only when the screen is off. Due to the nature of the governor, don't use a screen off profile with Smartass. It has been reported to cause issues. If you want a screen off profile use a different governor.
OC voltages are set to the same as 998 Mhz. Sense is a tricky animal when it comes to voltage adjustments. I had about 10x the issues with undervolting on sense froyo as on aosp, but maybe it's because that kernel was undervolted more.
*Important*
If you get random reboots or freezes on the new kernels (10/31 or 11/2), I will need the logs of that:
If it's a reboot grab the file /proc/last_kmsg using adb or root explorer. For adb setup please do a search on xda or the internet.
It would be adb pull /proc/last_kmsg for the adb command.
For root explorer just copy to the sdcard. It's a text file so you can post it online and post the link here or attach to your post when you report the issue.
If it is a freeze try to use logcat and output to a file when you're trying to reproduce it. Google logcat usage if needed. Also grab the last_kmsg after rebooting.

Source Code(Dev Only, not flashable)
Github.com Kernel Source
All releases are built from the master branch.
The config for the kernel is in arch/arm/configs/incrediblec_defconfig.
I use the GCC 4.4.3 toolchain for this kernel due to GCC 4.6 causing build issues.
Below is a link to the original tiny-gingersense source which is a hybrid kernel running off code released for the Evo Sense kernel as well as some code from the Froyo Incredible sense kernel. This one uses the master branch as well and the same config filename and toolchain as v2.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Some key differences between smartass and smartassv2 so users can decide which they prefer and learn a bit more about the differences:
Smartass
1. Screen off profile built in maxed at 384mhz.
2. Wakeup frequency is 998mhz.
3. Min screen on is 245mhz.
4. Improved by Chad to run better on our devices.
5. Purely load based, no ideal value.
Smartassv2
1. This is the same exact governor in Erasmux's Nexus One kernel (github.com/erasmux/n1-kernel)
2. Ideal wake frequency is 768 (also default that can be changed).
3. Screen on min is actually 128mhz).
4. No screen off profile.
5. Ideal sleep frequency 245mhz.
6. Improved upon from erasmux's version, not Chad's.
Basically the smartassv2 ideal wake frequency allows the phone to favor a certain speed to attempt to save battery life. It can still go above ideal wake and below ideal sleep so there's no caps on max and min while awake or sleep.
Some tips/info on various governors:
Smartass/smartassv2/interactive:
Use 128 min so the governor can scale as it needs to. Max speed I'd recommend at least 768Mhz.
Ondemand:
Try 128 min and if it lags use 245 min. Max speed I'd recommend at least 768Mhz.
Performance:
Only recommended for benchmarks but speed will always run at max.
InteractiveX:
Same as interactive except it has an auto screen off set to the min. Ideal with 245 min in setcpu but try 128 for battery life but it you have wake lag then set to 245.
Intellidemand:
Based on ondemand with a built in screen off. Any speed settings should be fine.
Interactive:
Some new features with this one. Starting with 10/4/12 release I am using the interactive kernel from Google which features a new kernel option called input_boost.
It is off by default but can be enabled by writing a 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/input_boost. Also there is another parameter for interactive called hispeed_freq in the same location. The hispeed_freq is where the governor jumps to first. Hispeed_freq by default is 614400 to help save battery. In the older interactive governor there was a maxspeed freq which meant the governor was a bit jumpier to the max speed. This should be a good blend of performance and battery.
ZRAM, what is it and how to I add it? (starting officially with 12/31/11)
If you are familiar with swap space in linux or virtual memory in Windows it is a similar concept. Except instead of using the hard drive as swap space it compresses swap space in RAM for faster access times than conventional swap. This will also wear out our storage memory less than typical swapping.
Enable ZRAM is simple thanks to a script built by imoseyon which is provided in the kernel zip file. To enable, use adb shell or download a terminal app and run zram enable. This will persist across reboots (if init.d is setup in your ROM) so if you don't want it anymore run zram disable and it will remove the bootscript and deactivate it.
You need to have root privileges to enable/disable zram. Run the su command in terminal emulator to request root.

Way to go! But I bet this was a headache to put together.
Let me know if you need a beta tester and the slots haven't filled up.

Check your PM.

Is this the beginning of a whole slew of custom kernels for the inc ?
How is the battery life on this?

i can test if needed

Exciting stuff...
any idea or have you looked at how difficult it would be to enable 5 pt multi touch in the future? or GPU+?

Hit me up... I'd love to test.

Love to test. Would begging help. Lol

Ok, got the 5 testers I want. Actually I found 6 so I'm good for now.

Hi all!
Good news! I have successfully initially ported the HTC Incredible kernel to gingersense using the Evo gingerbread source as a base and pulling from the Inc's froyo source code. I have spent significant time over the past few weekends trying to get this work and I have something usable finally. (I never ported a kernel before but am satisfied with what I have here).
Thanks Chad for inspiring me to do this port and giving me pointers along the way!
What works:
1. 3g+wifi
2. all modules from modules thread are built in+cifs added as well (perflock_disable is not needed on this kernel)
3. camera - initially had trouble, it wouldn't boot with camera enabled. 720p video SHOULD work as well
4. artifacting issues should be resolved
5. overclock works (1.13Ghz)
I would like to have some testers prior to releasing it as open beta. I want 4 additional testers, have 1 already. The first 4 to volunteer to test (via PM or this thread) will get a PM with a link to test the kernel. It will flash like any other kernel. I would like to post tomorrow night so please give feedback.
Known issues:
May be overheating issues. Though I cannot confirm issue. Battery temp is fine for me.
It is a port. Not everything will necessarily work 100%.
Haptic feedback and vibration are currently broken. Will look into it.

Tried it but no go. Thanks for trying to assist me though.

Checked up on GPU+. It is not needed as the changes needed to implement it have already been done in the stock HTC kernel.
5-point multitouch will be tricky as my panel has never worked with more than 2. I remember Chad trying to get it to work for everyone but it was tricky even for him. I think certain phones will just not work with it. I can see if I can at least enable it and have others test. If you're going to test, make sure that it works currently on say a Froyo Sense ROM or your AOSP ROM of choice first.
Going to bed so no more requests tonight.

Ran through some quick tests and everything looks to be working, and working well. I'm running godsmacked's senseless 2.0 with lp+. Gps locks on quick. Camera, gallery, etc all good. Overclocking stable so far, and definitely makes a notable difference. I will do more in depth testing tomorrow. Thanks for the breakthrough!

Is your haptic feedback working with the kernel?

love to be a tester too.

Great job Tiny!! This had to be very difficult to port. Your work is much appreciated.

Tiny, I PMd you about the vibrator, should be an easy fix.
And I would also like to commend tiny for doing the work on this. It has lifted a bit of a burden off of my shoulders since I simply didn't have the time to put work into it myself. He's quite adept and problem solving and was able to continue when he ran into a problem with just a little bit of guidance. I trust that he will put out a good kernel.

F.A.Q. --
1. My WiFi doesn't works after flashing this kernel.
Extract wlan.ko from the .zip of kernel (located under system/lib/modules/) and place it in root/system/lib/modules/ overwriting the one already present there. Then, set the permission of the file to rw-r-r and reboot the phone. Use ES File Manager with Root Permission to do this.
OR
Place the .zip of the kernel in Internal Storage and then re-flash the kernel.
OR
Check free space in /system partition. Atleast, 25 MB of free space should be there in /system partition as less space prevents the wlan.ko file to get copied successfully.
OR
Flash the latest version of SuperSU.
OR
Change the ROM.
2. Which Android Versions does this Kernel supports?
AzurE Kernel supports Marshmallow and Nougat ROMs. However, not every Kernel Version supports every Android Version. Check Changelog of the specific Kernel Version before flashing it.
3. Does VoLTE works on this Kernel?
Yes, if the ROM supports VoLTE, then this Kernel will also support VoLTE. However, if the ROM doesn't supports VoLTE, then this Kernel won't too.
4. How long are you planning to continue development of AzurE Kernel for Yu-Devices?
As long as I have my Yu Yureka PLUS with me, I'll keep the development active.
5. I have a feature-request!
Well, feature-requests are accepted only when I find the said feature to be having some practical use or substantial positive effect. Whether I include the feature or not, is purely my decision.
6. Why don't you answer my queries? I have asked 10 times already!
It takes much time in developing and testing a Kernel. So, it is difficult for me to keep track of every query too. However, if your query is a genuine one (i.e., not a duplicate question or a question, the answer of which isn't present in the First Post or the Changelogs), then I'll surely answer it.
7. Kernel Adiutor shows blank space in Governor and Frequency Panel of CPU TAB.
When Core 0 gets disabled (due to Core Control or State Helper HotPlug), Adiutor fails to get Frequency and Governor information and hence shows 0MHz in Frequency Panel and Blank Space in Governor Panel. This is normal. In this case, if you need to change Governor or Frequency, then you need to disable Core Control or State Helper HotPlug as the case may be. After this, force close Adiutor and then re-open it. This will make Adiutor get CPU information again. Also, if you don't want to face this situation again, then disable HotPlug Boost Toggle (this will make the kernel to not disable Core 0 and hence, such situation won't arise).
8. The HotPlugs aren't working! After sometime, all the cores come online.
After manually changing the CPU Governor or Frequency, all the Cores will come online even if any HotPlug is enabled. So, you just need to re-enable any HotPlugs you were using in order to disable the Cores again.
9. My whole big Cluster is offline! I can't enable it anyway!
Well, my kernel uses Core Control v2.0 (built by me) and hence, it has the ability to disable the whole big Cluster (including Core 0) if temperature rises above 55 C. When the temperature comes below 55 C, the big Cluster is brought back online again. This is normal and is done to reduce heat. Moreover, if you don't want Core 0 to get disabled, then you can Disable the HotPlug Boost Toggle (available under CPU TAB).
10. The CPU Frequencies are locked. I can't change them. This is a very serious BUG.
I wouldn't call it an issue or a BUG. It is a feature. My kernel uses a Custom Thermal Driver. It reduces the Frequencies to keep the temperature of the Kernel within safe limits. Hence, sometimes, when the temperature is above a certain degree, the Thermal Driver locks the Maximum Frequency so as to lower the temperature of the SoC. However, in my kernel, everything is user-configurable. So, if you want more performance and can bear some heat, then you are free to set the Thermal Settings according to your preference. These settings are available under the Thermal TAB of the Modded version of Adiutor only.
11. I don't have a 1.5A Charger. Should I use Quick Charge or not?
Let me clear this in a simple yet detailed way.
To use ThunderCharge's 1250 mA value, one needs a Charger capable of supplying 1.25A. So, if you're using a 1A Charger and you have set 1250 mA in ThunderCharge, then it won't work. The Charging will only occur at a speed of 1000 mA which your Charger supports.
Similarly, Quick Charge requires a 1.5A Charger for it to work fully. However, this doesn't means that using a 1A Charger with Quick Charge will affect Charging Speed negatively. So, if you're using a 1A Charger, then Quick Charge will draw only 1000 mA.
As for the Dynamic Current Panel, it shows the Value requested from the Charger, not the Actual Value drawn.
BTW, if you are using the Stock Charge and Yu Yureka phone, then Disable Quick Charge.

Updated (30-10-17)
Changelogs: -
*Now U can Turn off Core-0 - Device probably won't reboot anymore
*Boot using 5 cores. In Details, many users were facing bootloops, because, the kernel was configured to boot on all 8 cores, at max frequency, which was 1612MHz, so this drew a lots of battery power, and weak batteries resulted in bootloops. Remember, Splashloops(Device Looping at YU logo, no bootanimation) is most probably caused by lesser system space <25mB, U have to ensure a system space of 25mB, before reporting it here
*Alucard Hotplug - Added Alucard Hotplug, AND please, use only one Hotplug at once, Either AiO or Alucard;
*Re-Enabled CPU Boost again

Yes it's working

Hello Guys,
Many of the YUsers were Complaining about "Battery Drain, Heating and Lagginess" faced, when using Oreo ROMs, e.g. - NitroGen OS, Nougat ROMs like Resurrection Remix etc.
So, I spared some time, looked into the matter and Finally, the kernel has been UPDATED!!!
ChangeLogs :- 15th November, 2K17 {Oreo and Nougat/MarshMallow}
*Compiled Using UBER 8.0.0 ToolChain
*Latest CAF(LA.BR.1.2.9_rb1.27) commits are merged
*UKSM - Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging
Spoiler: UKSM over KSM,
* Ultra KSM. Copyright (C) 2011-2012 Nai Xia
*
* This is an improvement upon KSM. Some basic data structures and routines
* are borrowed from ksm.c .
*
* Its new features:
* 1. Full system scan:
* It automatically scans all user processes' anonymous VMAs. Kernel-user
* interaction to submit a memory area to KSM is no longer needed.
*
* 2. Rich area detection:
* It automatically detects rich areas containing abundant duplicated
* pages based. Rich areas are given a full scan speed. Poor areas are
* sampled at a reasonable speed with very low CPU consumption.
*
* 3. Ultra Per-page scan speed improvement:
* A new hash algorithm is proposed. As a result, on a machine with
* Core(TM)2 Quad Q9300 CPU in 32-bit mode and 800MHZ DDR2 main memory, it
* can scan memory areas that does not contain duplicated pages at speed of
* 627MB/sec ~ 2445MB/sec and can merge duplicated areas at speed of
* 477MB/sec ~ 923MB/sec.
*
* 4. Thrashing area avoidance:
* Thrashing area(an VMA that has frequent Ksm page break-out) can be
* filtered out. My benchmark shows it's more efficient than KSM's per-page
* hash value based volatile page detection.
*
*
* 5. Misc changes upon KSM:
* * It has a fully x86-opitmized memcmp dedicated for 4-byte-aligned page
* comparison. It's much faster than default C version on x86.
* * rmap_item now has an struct *page member to loosely cache a
* address-->page mapping, which reduces too much time-costly
* follow_page().
* * The VMA creation/exit procedures are hooked to let the Ultra KSM know.
* * try_to_merge_two_pages() now can revert a pte if it fails. No break_
* ksm is needed for this case.
*
* 6. Full Zero Page consideration(contributed by Figo Zhang)
* Now uksmd consider full zero pages as special pages and merge them to an
* special unswappable uksm zero page
*Zen Interactive Tuning: Auto Tunes the kernel for responsiveness at the cost of throughput and power usage.
*Enabled F-Sync
*Decreased time to Enter Sleep Extensively
*Relaxed Governor is tuned a bit!!
*AluCARD HotPlug Updated to Latest Version
*Tuned for more memory

I would say I imagine it would boot without root . I only say imagine because I have never tried .
If you want to mess with any tuneable , you'll need to be rooted.
I would root any phone that has a custom kernel on it. To me they go hand in hand.

That makes sense. Thanks

I'm getting amazing battery life with this. Wasn't expecting that as it is overclocked . Nice and stable for me. Thank you very much for sharing.

Got a freeze and had to force reboot, therefore is not stable, maybe because of oc?

Stable for me , maybe your device is not stable ?
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just an FYI : the "overclocked" frequencies I'm using for the CPU and GPU are straight from the msm8996pro files , the one plus three uses them . I see no reason why they would be harmful to our device. I've had great success with them , temps and battery temps are great as well . My guess is they underclocked the pixels for powersaving reasons only . I haven't had a single reboot or boot loop running this setup .

There might be some cpu batches that can't reach that frequency stable, like mine i was able to run antutu but short then got a freeze

you hit the nail on the head. it's well known that the 8996 SOC can have issues with overclocking... sultanxda researched and verified this over a year ago...
and this kind of issue is typical with overclocking, in general... it's definitely not something that is guaranteed to be stable on mobile or in PC land... there's always variance in the manufacturing process, the chips can vary. it's the reason some x86 CPUs will be rated for OC, while in another situation another chip may have cores disabled and marketed differently / as a lower end CPU...
@bsmitty op13t doesn't overclock by default. go look at the DTSI in their vanillla kernel sources for oreo... furthermore devs working with that device (boeflla, for example) disable overclocking by default and specifically tell users not to report freezes or hot reboots if using overclocking, since it known to be unstable on a lot of devices.
so while you guess that google was aiming for better battery life, that's just wrong. it's called QA.

Totally not true .
I would agree that your right about your overclocking is unstable , if I actually overclocked the soc .
The frequencies I used are from stock one plus 3 msm8996pro.dtsi it's pretty clear if you look at the commit history what the freq are.. One plus 3 dtsi uses a whole different setup . They have a 3rd speed bin we don't even use .
1.9ghz power cluster freq is straight from Google
2.3 GHz performance cluster freq is the real stock speed. Not 2.1 GHz . Same for the GPU freq. I didn't make these numbers up .
So again. I doubt anyone's phone would have a problem with running the frequencies. And if they do , well I guess there's other kernel options out there .
Antutu is not a great way to determine if a kernel is stable or not . Antutu force closes on me almost every time since Android marshmallow.
Don't you have flar2's overclocked performance cores commit in your kernel ?
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

@bsmitty83
totally true. 2.3GHz has proven to be unstable. you can say it isn't overclocking (even though that contradicts your own commit. lmfao), language doesn't matter here, semantics.... the fact still remains that it's unstable and that devs working on the very device/kernel u are referencing, know it... so does google, your user, myself and many other people.... in the context of the pixel, google set it to 2.15GHz, no higher. so yeah, you are overclocking the pixel, ignoring their QA. and as i said; your commit is labelled as overclocking too => why do that, if you are going to argue otherwise?. ... seems like your contradicting yourself.
just because it can clock up, doesn't mean much. manufacturing defects or design issues happen.... it's no different than say; Haswell (Intel) when they introduced tsx, which had instability on many. 4th gen intel cpus.... no one said you made the numbers up, but your assumption as to why Google runs at 2.15GHz is wrong... this issue is well known, old news.... you've also had someone demonstrate in your thread that it's unstable - if you had bothered to ask them for logs at the time, you could have verified things...
no, I don't support clocking above 2.15ghz, since it's known to be unstable on our SOC... and it would be careless to have it enabled by defualt, even if I chose to. why would I do that, given that I know it can be problematic?
antutu may not be great way to determine if a kernel is unstable, but in this case; it is a reliable and reproducible way to get things to crash at the higher clock speed. your user was right to point this out. apparently he/she knows more about this issue than you do....
and FYI, your doing something wrong if antutu just force closes on you.... it runs fine and never crashes on stock kernel or mine, nor on any previous device... maybe, it doesn't work for you, because of something you've been doing since marshmallow? probably.
anyway, pointless to argue. not my problem and you've made it pretty clear that you could care less.

The OnePlus 3 does not use the MSM8996 pro, it uses the MSM8996, the OnePlus 3T uses the pro variant of the processor. The Google Pixel/Pixel XL on the other hand use neither of those chips, they use the MSM8996pro-AB which is an MSM8996pro with lower clocks to decrease voltage requirements and production costs while increasing yields.
The processors in the Pixel are not meant to clock up to 1.9/2.3/653 like in the MSM8996pro as they don't have that processor. These processors are basically the higher speed chips that lost the silicon lottery which is why clocking them higher isn't as stable or effective when compared to the MSM8996pro at stock clocks.
There are multiple reasons for why this was done. To reduce costs, to increase the supply of the chips, to reduce power draw/heat or some other reason I don't know of.
Edit: The MSM8996pro is actually only supposed to go up to 1.6GHz on the little cores, not 1.9.

My kernel runs fine and is stable
bottom line .
call it whatever you like
go back to posting about all the glorious code you have but wont release unless you get paid for it ....lol
no sense in letting someone kang you right ? lol
your a funny guy
you use other peoples commits in your kernel and change the authorship . but complain I dont know how to use git properly
you say you dont support overclocking but the code is in your source .
Anyways I guess if the 5 people who actually use this kernel are happy . I'm happy. my phone runs fantastic . Merry Boxing Day or whatever ......:silly:

The pixel does use msm8996pro files for compiling though. The 1.9ghz is a speed boost freq . It's in the one plus 3T code. I didn't make it up . Just because our device doesn't use the exact same chip , all the other custom kernels out are overclocked to 2.3 GHz. Or the option is there for the user to OC . Idk what the big deal is regarding what I have done .

I don't think all the other kernels use 2.3 on the Pixel and the files used for compilation are quite meaningless when the hardware isn't fitting.

Our device is compiled using the msm8996pro.dtsi file . This is straight from Google. They know what device is what . The msm8996pro.dtsi file supports the frequencies I am using . That is all . Maybe all pixels can't support that high freq idk. Does not seem to make sense tho . My temps and the device behavior suggests no where near maxing out . I'm just not understanding what the issue is . You can set the max freq to whatever you want. If the kernel won't even boot , then it would be an issue , but to run those freq for 3 sec till your kernel manager kicks in and sets whatever max freq you want should be fine .

lol. ya, that's how it works sometimes. people get paid for work they do. not all apps are free, nor code. nor should they be... I have a couple of features that I'd like to monetize, not just give away, that aren't pixel specific.... it totally makes sense that I would explore monetization, before ever publishing code.... I've learned my lesson in the past, when someone profited from code that I wrote (unrelated to android), so this time; I'm not allowing that to happen.
if that bothers you (which clearly it does), too bad.

[KERNEL][OREO-PIE][TREBLE] Schwifty Kernel [vR5] | AOSP | 12/12/18 |

The Schwifty Kernel (Yeahhh, Get Schwifty)
Hello guys welcome to the Schwifty Kernel! If you watch the show "Rick and Morty" you will understand why I named it this if you don't understand well either youtube it or just don't worry and enjoy the sh*t out the kernel anyways hehe. Alright lets get Schwifty, here's all the info about the kernel in a way that will help you decide how you want to set up your phone! The second post will contain changelogs and third post, well not sure yet. But enjoy!!​
Basic Specifications/Information:
Based On Axon 7 LoS 16.1 Kernel Source
Updated to the latest linux kernel source (3.18.126)
Built with Custom CrossTool-NG Toolchain (GCC: 8.2.0)
Allow 5-10 to settle in after booting up for better usage
Take the time to read all the information to get an understanding on the kernel (Will help with less bug reports)
If you report a bug please search before posting and give all information about your issue (Such as rom, kernel version, kernel setup... ect)
I will edit the page with dates when there is something new added such as govenors, schedulers ect...
I/O Scheduler Information - I/O:
NOOP - Inserts all the incoming I/O requests to a First In First Out queue and implements request merging. Best used with storage devices that does not depend on mechanical movement to access data (yes, like our flash drives). Advantage here is that flash drives does not require reordering of multiple I/O requests unlike in normal hard drives.
DEADLINE - The goal of the Deadline scheduler is to attempt to guarantee a start service time for a request. It does that by imposing a deadline on all I/O operations to prevent starvation of requests. It also maintains two deadline queues, in addition to the sorted queues (both read and write). Deadline queues are basically sorted by their deadline (the expiration time), while the sorted queues are sorted by the sector number. Before serving the next request, the Deadline scheduler decides which queue to use. Read queues are given a higher priority, because processes usually block on read operations. Next, the Deadline scheduler checks if the first request in the deadline queue has expired. Otherwise, the scheduler serves a batch of requests from the sorted queue. In both cases, the scheduler also serves a batch of requests following the chosen request in the sorted queue.
BFQ - Instead of time slices allocation by CFQ, BFQ assigns budgets. Disk is granted to an active process until it's budget (number of sectors) expires. BFQ assigns high budgets to non-read tasks. Budget assigned to a process varies over time as a function of it's behavior.
ZEN & ZEN v2 - Based on the Noop, Deadline and SIO I/O schedulers. It's an FCFS (First come, first serve) based algorithm, but it's not strictly FIFO. ZEN does not do any sorting. It uses deadlines for fairness, and treats synchronous requests with priority over asynchronous ones.
MAPLE(8/30) - is based on the Zen and Simple I/O schedulers. It uses ZEN's first-come-first-serve style algorithm with separate read/write requests and improved former/latter request handling from SIO. Maple is biased towards handling asynchronous requests before synchronous, and read requests before write. While this can have negative aspects on write intensive tasks like file copying, it slightly improves UI responsiveness. When the device is asleep, maple increases the expiry time of requests so that it can handle them more slowly, causing less overhead.
Governor Information - CPU:
Interactive - Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set by the kernel developer (or user). In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. It is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency. Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above. Interactive is the default governor of choice for today's smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
Ondemand - Ondemand is one of the original and oldest governors available on the linux kernel. When the load placed on your CPU reaches the set threshold, the governor will quickly ramp up to the maximum CPU frequency. It has excellent fluidity because of this high-frequency bias, but it can also have a relatively negative effect on battery life versus other governors. OnDemand was commonly chosen by smartphone manufacturers in the past because it is well-tested and reliable, but it is outdated now and is being replaced by Google's Interactive governor.
Performance - Sets the frequency at the maximum available frequency. This governor always returns UINT_MAX as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the highest frequency available at any time.
Powersave - Sets the frequency at the minimum available frequency. This governor always returns 0 as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the lowest frequency available at any time.
Userspace - Sets the frequency at the user specified one. This governor returns the user configured frequency if there has been an input to /sys/devices/.../power/devfreq_set_freq. Otherwise, the governor does not change the frequnecy given at the initialization.
GPU Governors:
Adreno Idler - It is an idling algorithm, an efficient workaround for msm-adreno-tz's overheads. Main goal is to lower the power consumptions while maintaining high-performance. Since msm-adreno-tz tends to *not* use the lowest frequency even on idle, Adreno idler replaces msm-adreno-tz's algorithm when it comes to calculating idle frequency(mostly by ondemand's method). The higher frequencies are not touched with this algorithm, so high-demanding games will (most likely) not suffer from worsened performance.
Simple - An open-source alternative to Qualcomm's closed-sourced governors. Developed by Faux123, it is highly customisable which will allow more fine-grained control over how the GPU scales up and down.
simple_ondemand[/b] - As the name implies, it is a simpler version of the CPU governor ondemand. simple_ondemand will ramp up the frequency when a load is detected. It has a good balance between performance and battery savings.
msm-adreno-tz - The default GPU governor used by Qualcomm for their adreno GPUs. It is based on the ondemand governor but is biased towards performance, therefore it should give better performance in games but less battery life.
Performance - As the name suggests, this keeps your GPU running at the max frequency. This is a governor if you want the best possible experience in games but you don't care about your battery life.
Powersave - Like the CPU governor, this keeps your GPU running at the lowest possible frequency. Best battery life, extreme lag in games.
Userspace - This governor basically allows the user is able to set a desired frequency for the GPU to run at.
cpubw_hwmon - A hardware monitor based governor that attempts to determine bandwidth (BW) needed by CPU and other hardware. Because it samples bandwidth using polling intervals, it has been made to be biased towards performance to compensate for the possible slower response times during heavy loads.
MSM Cpufreq - The MSM CPUfreq governor determines the CPU to DDR bandwidth vote based on the current CPU frequency of all the active CPUs. In other words, this governor scales based on CPU usage which could mean more performance.
Other Information:
Moved Core Control To Kernel - Moved core control from out-of-tree module into the kernel proper. Core control monitors load on CPUs and controls how many CPUs are available for the system to use at any point in time. This can help save power. Core control can be configured through sysfs interface.
Moved Core Control Trace Events To Scheduler
Added A Knob To Disable The core_ctl (Core Control) - The CPU hotplug tests does not work with core_ctl compiled statically into kernel. Provide an interface to disable the hotplug by core_ctl.

Trying this right now, so far it seems to be stable. Battery life seems to be less right now but that may be due to other factors I'm still investigating.

Nice,new kernel.But why should i use this,and not Hellsgate?

Although fast, hellsgate kernel hasn't been kind to my device's stability personally speaking.
This could be more stable, since it doesn't seem to add hoards of features (and potential complications with them).

Try searching Schwifty kernel on Google, this kernel isn't new If I remember correctly there were great reviews for this kernel on the other device(LG V20). I don't mean that Hellsgate is not as good, I'm just saying this kernel has its own unique advantages(while Hellsgate is a mighty kernel with loads of features and great performance, so it's also no worse)

About DAC
DAC is working in this kernel?

Very nice kernel, it's stable, the battery holds very nicely and it's powerfull, the UI doesn't lag.
Thanks for your work!

is F2FS supported?

I tried, it seems so. F2FS and encryption working on my device (exfat also).

Good battery life. Fast and smooth. Stable.
Thank u!

Running this kernel for for about 12 hours now. Seems solid and I find my device to be snappier vs HellsGate. Battery life appears to be solid as well.

del

can someone report about battery life? and does this include COFB(Conservative Optimized For Battery), and it optimized for battery ? (Everything from CAD kernel)

Could you please build this for stock B12? Everything except wifi and hotspot works.

hmm on my device the kernel is a real battery killer.. can barely reach 2.5h screen on time where hellsgate gives me double
switching back now...

Interactive governor highly efficient profile for SmartPack Kernel - Android N/O/P

Hello all.
After about a month of researching and testing with the Galaxy S5, I'm finally happy with my SmartKernel profile, with the interactive governor carefully tuned, using known resources and countless trials and errors, as well as other various tweaks, like VM and I/O scheduler, and decided to publish on it's own thread.
The main resources I've used for the Interactive governor tuning includes the well known:
Android Modders Guide;
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for Nexus 5X; and it's twin
[GUIDE] Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks; Buttery smooth and insane battery life! for HTC Evo 4G.
First of all, this tweaks should be a little sensible to the ROM, kernel, apps, and other tweaks your using. Like, I just found out that Havoc pie style quicktile settings use way more juice then if I turn it off and go back to Oreo default. Bellow you will see the apps I mainly crafted this profile in mind.
For reference: I have a klte with latest Oreo Havoc installed, nano OpenGapps, Magisk and the SmartPack kernel. For apps I use Facebook lite, cause the normal app is just a big hog, whatsapp and instagram social apps. Chrome. I don't use the Google App or Greenify(uninstall/delete velvet). And play lots of games like Clash Royale, Star Wars Force Arena and Arena of Valor. BetterBatteryStats.
And a lot of random apps that normally don't stay on the background.
DESCRIPTION
On the SmartPack manager profile:
. HIghly Efficient Interactive Governor Tunables (most important part);
. No Touchboost or any other boost, only the governor dictates to CPU in which clock it should to be;
. Overclock disabled, but can be enabled at you will;
. No underclock, I do undervolt my CPU but this you need to find your specific device numbers, mine won't cut;
. LazyPlug Hotplug with all 4 cores on all the time (better performance while using and battery savings while at idle);
. I/O Schedulers: ZEN (the L-Speed profile complement this part, with it's scheduler tunables);
. READ-AHEAD internal 1024kb (for 16GB or more) and external 512 kb (for my 8GB SDCard, adjust accordingly to yours SD Card size conform described here
. Adreno Idler disabled: it doesn't make any effect;
. Speaker Driver Leakage disabled and Boeffla Sound enabled with 0 gain as it does make a difference, at least with ViperFX magisk module installed;
. Screen minimum RGB set to 1 (0 won't stick), for a darker dark on our AMOLED, plus some tweaks;
. Led blinking fade enable;
. VM tweaks: dirty_ratio 30 and dirty_background_ratio 15; for minor battery improvement, with a perceptible lower termperature/cpu usage and almost imperceptible performance hit;
. VM tweaks: page-cluster 1; for better multitasking/memory management
. VM tweaks: oom_dump_tasks 0; disable depuration of dumping tasks, less cpu needed.
. LMK values: 32 48 64 128 176 208 (MBs)
L-Speed Profile
. Logging and I/O stats disabled;
. Animations speed set to 0.25x;
. System battery save trigger at 20%;
If you need to provide or read logs, enable logging and i/o stats back on l speed; i/o stats and oom_dump_tasks 1 on smartpack manager
INSTALLATION
Unzip the attached file and import with SmartPack Manager:
The attached profile should be imported, applied and marked as to run "On Boot" to make effect. It will only work with SmartPack Manager and Kernels for both Nougat and Oreo, maybe even Pie. Just try it, and report back. If you wanna fine tune it. You need to use an app or enable the "show cpu clocks" option if your rom supports it (like Havoc, RR and many more), and monitor at which frequencies the lags happens, while doing the jobs you want the CPU to be efficient at. And mainly tweak the target_load according, maybe above_high_speed delays of 1,7GHz clock and above. You need to read the guides more in-dept too see exactly how to do it, but I'll paste here the most important parts on how to tweak this settings more to your Galaxy S5, with your particularly apps and ROM:
soniCron said:
Optimize Idle Frequency
Now that you've got the base configuration, we need to tweak it so that the CPU stays at your efficient idle frequency (384Mhz in this case) without spontaneously jumping when your phone is actually idle. To do this, open a CPU monitor that displays the current core frequencies (I like CoolTool, but you can use what you like as long as it doesn't significantly impact the CPU use--you're best off using a passive monitor and checking the results after 30-60 seconds of no activity), watch the frequencies and see how often they go above your efficient idle frequency when you're not doing anything at all, and adjust the following:
timer_rate - If your idle frequency is not being exceeded much, adjust this downward in increments of 5000 until it is, then increase it by 5000. If your idle frequency is being exceeded often, adjust this upward in increments of 5000 until your CPU primarily stays at or below your desired idle frequency.
above_highspeed_delay - Only if your timer_rate has matched or exceeded 50000 and still won't stay at or below your desired idle frequency most of the time, set timer_rate to 50000 and adjust the "20000" portion of the value upwards in increments of 5000 until the idle frequency has stabilized.
The lower these two values are, the more snappy/lag free your system will be. So try to get them as low as possible without the idle frequency being exceeded too much, as this inversely affects the snappiness and efficiency of your phone when you're not doing anything. Lower = snappier but uses more CPU when you're not doing anything (such as reading a webpage); higher = less snappy but stays in a power saving state more often reducing CPU use when you're not interacting with the device. These are the most critical in determining your idle power savings, so keep that in mind if you want the most battery life!
Enhance Task Responsiveness
Now use the efficiency and nominal clock rate correlations you made for your master clock rate list in the section above and adjust your frequencies to suit your usage patterns. For example, I had web page scrolling as my 710Mhz/864Mhz rates, so I will open a web page and scroll and see how everything feels. If it feels sluggish, I will increase all the references to "710000" in both above_highspeed_delay and target_loads upwards to the next available clock rate until that task is smooth. What you are looking for is constant poor/sluggish performance when the task you're testing for is using its highest CPU use. If the task becomes sluggish/stuttery as it winds down (such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop), we will address that next, so do not take that behavior into consideration as you adjust these values! If the task is smooth until (or after) it slows down, then you have reached your optimal clock rate and can move on.
If you need to exceed your nominal clock rate for a particular task, first measure it again just to be sure you had it correct. If you did indeed have it correct, leave it at your nominal clock rate and adjust the value after the colon next to the task frequency you're tuning downward in increments of 5. For example, if my setting of "864000:80" is still not sufficient, I will adjust it first to "864000:75", then "864000:70", and so on until the task is smooth. However, it almost certainly won't come to this, but if you reach ":50" and the task still isn't performing how you want, set it back to ":80" and increase the clock step once more, then decrease the ":80" until it is smooth.
Do the same for each other frequency in your master clock rate list until you are satisfied. If you have chosen to use more than 2 primary clock rates, add them and use ":##" values between the two surrounding frequency values.
Fix Stuttering
Now that you have adjusted your frequencies for optimal high CPU use in each given task, you may notice some stuttering as the task winds down. (Such as a scrolling webpage slowing to a stop.) If this bothers you, you can tweak this at the expense of some (minor) battery life by adjusting min_sample_time up in increments of 5000 until you are satisfied.
If you have exceeded a value of 100000 for the min_sample_time setting and still are not satisfied, change it back to 40000 and increase (and re-optimize) your idle frequency by one step. This will impact battery life more, but less than if you were to keep increasing the value of min_sample_time.
Adjust High Load Clock Rates
You're almost done! Now you can leave everything as is and be satisfied with your amazing, buttery smooth, snappy experience, or you can optionally tweak things further to either increase the responsiveness of high load tasks (such as loading image previews in Gallery) or increase battery life somewhat.
Adjust the final delay value in above_highspeed_delay to suit your needs. The default ("150000") means that the CPU load at the highest set frequency (default "1026000") will have to be sustained for 150ms before it allows the load to go above that frequency. Increasing this value will prevent the CPU from reaching higher frequencies (which may be unnecessary) as often, saving battery life. This will come at the expense of burst-type high CPU load tasks. Reducing it will allow the CPU to reach higher frequencies more often, at the expense of battery life. However, adjusting this is probably unnecessary, as it will most likely not yield any perceptible difference in performance. It is recommended to leave this value at its default.

Besides CPU Voltage and Battery, all tabs on the manager are modified and tuned to achieve best performance, while having best efficiency possible. Is not a battery or a performance, but a efficiency profile.
Refer to this thread if you wanna undervolt your device with a well know secure margin for the CPU Snapdragon 801 2.5ghz MSM8974AC, which our Galaxy S5 contains:
[GUIDE] Snapdragon 805/801/800/600 Clock & Voltage (PVS bin) guide by HD2Owner I've managed to achieve much lower voltages then PSV15+ devices (refer to the sheets).
I also attached the excel spreadsheet I've made with all this thread information, both governor guide equations on target loads, undervolting guide findings, and made my own base calculations and settings. Feel free to use, modify, and discuss it with me. You will see that I based the most efficient clocks in an original thought about which ones are the most efficient, instead of plotting the differentials between voltages of each clocks, I did plotted the difference of the clock divided by voltage, which on itself should be how much voltage 1 mhz uses, on each clock rate. So, the higher the number, more speed each clock rate give us by voltage used. It's kinda complicated and idk if I explained it the right way, and even if it really makes sense under scrutiny, but I couldn't think why not myself, so, any inputs are welcome.
I own my thanks to all the following XDA fellows, without them, I could not have achieved this:
@sunilpaulmathew for the SmartPack Kernel which is the only kernel for the S5 that can turn that damned MPDecision off and SmartPack Manager;
@soniCron for both of the governos Guides;
@Saber for the Android Modders Guide which is immensely helpful.

@justjr
Nice work friend. Great to see that your finally open a place to share your findings. In my opinion, your profile should work on any klte device with minimum kernel support. I haven't seen much SmartPack specific stuff in your profile except some hotplug related things. So, if you make it as a shell script instead of KA/SP-Kernel Manager profile, it shall be beneficial for everyone. Anyway, as usual, I'll kang your changes to my kernel default profile

I think this profile should work on original Kernel Adiutor, or any fork of it, shouldn't it?
It should work on any other kernel if the changes really stick, and uses the same paths, but MPDecision will mess with frequencies all the time. It would still follow the governor tunables anyway, but it will interfere with it and in the end will not gain too much efficiency out of it.
Actually I only state it is for SmartPack specifically because of the fact that is the only one I can disable MPDecision on our device, and because I included all the tweaks other then just governor tweaks.
Actually I'm kinda lazy right now, but I could do a shell script if any demand for it shows up.

Well, official KA (free version) doesn't allow to import profiles (paid feature), but all other mods does.
and yes, it is supposed to work on every klte device as long as the sysfs paths exist. Means it should work on any custom Kernel with lazyplug support (most of the other stuff are actually included in the stock kernel itself). Of course, the default settings provided by the kernel devs might conflict. e.g., as you said, MPDecision, although the line "stop mpdecison" in your profile will disable it. By the way, I'm not the only one who disabled mpdecision and relay on other hotplugs in this klte community

Oh, really? Which one? I must had missed it. I've tested all kernels I could find. At least all the remotely up-to-date, like venom, tuned and boeffla kernels. I didn't see any option to change hotplugs on any. There were hotplug profiles, to keep cores online and stuff, but everyone of them keep changing min and max frequency at MPDecision will.

Boeffla and Venom largely depends on MPDecision. However, as I remember correctly (on the basis of the code review, not from my experience, I never used it by myself), the Tuned kernel by @fbs disabled MPDecision upon booting to work well with its own Tuned hotplug.

I tested it too. And although he claims he uses hes own hotplug, it behave the same as boeffla and venom, it has the same profiles, and it does changes min and max freq out of my control.

no it doesn't change any freqs
it works by disabling or enabling cores, just that.
if any cpu reaches the maximum frequency, it enables one more core (as the other ones are already giving their best)
if any cpu reaches the minimum frequency too many times, it disables it (as it doesn't seem to be needed)
so in any moment you can have all 4 cores enabled or only 1. even with display on or off, it doesn't matter
mpdecision will NEVER let you use just 1 core, and it doesn't react as fast: battery hog

Alright, sorry then, it seems my memories got clouded or something, as I've tested it about a month ago. I might go back any day just to test that. Thanks for giving us one more kernel option! :good:

UPDATE OP WITH
Description
Changelogs
New profile 011118, changelog:
. Few governor tweaks
. Removed Virtual Memory and LMK tweaks, let it on default or use L-Speed to optimize, it does a much better job then me
Also uploading the L-Speed profile I use so those who want to use it like I do, but you can choose any VM and LMK profile that fits your needs on the app. Just don't use the governor tuner because it will mess with my tunings, and l-speed governor tuning is a generic one for all devices, VM and LMK is OK to use generic tweaks, but not on governor.
@sunilpaulmathew I took a look at l-speed virtual memory and lmk profiles and they make incredible sense, take a look yourself, they may be what you need to put o that spectrum profiles, because above all they are device independent and do make a noticeable difference.

Is it valide for stock rom (6.0)?

What kernel? It should work if the kernel have lazyplug or alucard hotplug, if is the late you just have to enable it.

Updates
SmartPack Manager Profile 031118:
. Governor tunning: better high load management;
. Included back only 3 sane VM configurations, no more freezing, better cooling (less cpu needed, while performance barely took a hit)
. Sane LMK configurations, kills apps not being used faster, retain some multitasking while not let it slow down the device
LSpeed Profile 031118:
. Removed most tweaks, only left minor stuff, refer to the OP.
L Speed profile is not really needed, SmartPack will do 99% of the job.
OP: descriptions for both profiles updated.

New profile.
I returned to Nougat, RR 5.8.5, same configs works awesomely and the device is cooler/faster then with Oreo. But still will works the same with both N/O and even Pie, not tested.
I also reinstalled Hearthstone as a high load app so I could tune the governor better for it, and up to 1490 MHz nothing is changed, and changed a bit target_loads and above_hispeed of the clocks above it so Hearthstone (and any other high load apps, or, using split screen with youtube) runs smoother/without lags and tasks like opening an app will finish faster, and also go back to a lower clock faster because of that. So, in the end it stays most of the time at lower clocks anyway, only difference is that it will jump faster when needed for less waiting time/lag.
Just to clarify, this is not suppose to waste battery, or drain it faster. As an efficiency profile the goal is to do the job you the want faster the possible, ramping up to the clocks that the jobs demands, without lags (or minimal lags) and go back to idle/lower clocks as soon as high clocks aren't needed anymore, so it don't overstay at a higher clocks then it's needed, very simple.
So, going to a high clock doesn't mean less battery life, finishing a job fast and going back to idle is the key to achieve more battery life, specially during deep sleep, when you really want your device go back to deep sleep fast, but also at any other time. Watching youtube, browsing and using low demand apps still uses the same clocks.
Also, on top of that you will spend more time USING the device instead of WAITING for it to finish a job. Battery life is very subjective, and SoT doesn't mean nothing IRL, I mean, are you spend that SoT waiting for a job to finish or to actually use the device?

I don't use SD card so what do I do?

In that case nothing is needed, the configurations related to the absent sd card will not be applied.

Ok guys. I was wondering why my device was heating a lot more these last 2 days. Turns out both Alucard and Lazyplug were accidentally activated on 081119 profile. Turn one of them off and everything will be a lot better. Sorry for that. I will upload a new profile very soon.
edit:
101118 smartpack profile:
- Turned Alucard off, accidentally activated it with Lazyplug also enabled, not good!
- Managed to go 1 point higher on freq 1497 MHz, the 2 hotplugs enabled were messing with me trying to test this change before, also 1 point lower on the idle freq 268 MHz for smoother scrolling while still staying at freq 268 while idle. And some more high load optimizations now that I only got 1 hotplug enabled as it should always be.
- target_loads from 268800:29 ... 1497600:86 1574400:5 1728000:88 1958400:90 2265600:95 to -> 268800:28 ... 1497600:87 1574400:5 1728000:89 1958400:91 2265600:94

- dirty_background_ratio 15 -> 10

I will give this a try. Hope it works well...

Yeah.
You know, try it and report back. I don't see any reports, so I assume is working well for people.
Any reports are welcome.

No problems so far...greats for daily use..scrolling smoother than default..but pubg still laggy on lower res...may i know which rom are u using?
