Very slow & laggy Nougat install - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded my Touchpad to Latest version of Nougat yesterday.
However as soon as I started loading a few basic apps it started to not respond at all & ends up having to be continually rebooted. It's slightly better now but still has to be rebooted every so often & very often locks up for 30-60 seconds at a time.
I've checked all available space on storage & appears to be all correct with what was in the instructions, plus this was a clean install (the upgrade from kitkat was even worse!) & was done via TWRP with latest ROM, GAPPS etc. I'm aware Nougat is not the finished article but judging by other comments on the forum their experience is somewhat better than mine (using the TP right now us very frustrating).
This is being installed on a 32mb TP so storage isn't an issue at all. I've done a number of upgrades over the last few years but this is the first time I've run into these sort of problems.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Exact same issue i am also facing.if somebody installed a fluidic rom means tell me ivwill also follow.

What's a fluidic ROM?

i think they mean 'one that operates in a fluid (smooth) manner'. i also have this problem on most n rom's i've tried, but addmittedly, my touchpad is near nand exhaustion. (and something about the N setups i've tried exacerbates it)

Would it be possible to mention this in the OP of your old thread? Every time I add links to devs base the mods remove it here at XDA :silly:
Edit: Also worth mentioning that increasing the min CPU frequency to 600+ will help with the Evervolv lag issues.
Info about the move to Devs base for all those who haven't heard.

Thanks buddy!! Actually fed up with the lag issue I have reverted to milaq's kikat 4.4.4. . Tonight will revert back to evervolv and will update here.
One doubt as the min cpu freq is 648 mhz will it not eat in to the battery??
Thanks,

Also in toolbox if I disable aosp mode,the touchpad become very laggy and YouTube is not at all responding. But if we enbale aosp mode and disable all toolsbox functions...touchpad is useable.

Guys now after a long time I formatted my data and all the partitions then installed the evervolv 7.1.2 test build. Skz kernel overclocked to 1728. Also gpu overcolcked to 320. Kernel samepage killing enabled.cpu profile set to interactive. The rom is performing good. Please try.

Is this much better than the Android 6 builds? The last decent one I had was JCSullins 5.1, my current 6.0.1 (22/08/2016) takes 2-3 longer to start up, is noticeably slow/laggy and has no USB OTG support. I notice that the Android 7 builds have no camera, Bluetooth and I need to overclock to have a good experience? I might go back to 5.1 again...

The newer evervolv builds have both working camera and Bluetooth but yes I'd recommend getting shumash's kernel and overclocking for the best experience. However if you're already using CM12 try updating to Milaqs latest builds here It might fix the issues you're having. I generally find Milaqs CM11 to be the most stable rom for your daily driver. Let me know how the newer builds of CM12 workout for you.

Thanks, I'm just deciding whether to go with JCSullins 12.1 from Jan 2016 or Milaq's 12.0 from Aug 2017. Tempted to go for 12.1 even though the actual rom is much older, I don't think much could have changed.

Thx a lot !! It saved my HPTP.
Yesterday i flashed the last evervolv, and looked for some improvements on xda-dev, and I saw your post. After flashing, I tried to apply these settings.
What a change !! The TouchPad is now usable.
My plan is to use it (with the touchstone) as a screen for my home automation. It was impossible, but now it seems to be responsive enough !
Thanks again.

[GT-i9195][cm11] - [ROM](Feb.2016)&[kernel](ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151210)

[GT-i9195][cm11] - [ROM](Feb.2016)&[kernel](ECOACTIVE & ECOPLUG)(OC/UV)(20151210)
This is a GT-I9195 CM11 kernel highly optimized to best possible performance and energy efficiency.
It may work on Slim (confirmed), AICP (confirmed) and Carbon Rom (confirmed) as well.
It will not work on any Samsung Stock based ROM.
- built from latest avalable CM sources
- CPU OC: 1998 Mhz (light: 1782 MHz) (default and max.)
- reworked freq- tables (unique 108 MHz-steps) for fast scaling
- CPU UV: -50mv (light: -25mv) (default, adjustable)
- GPU OC: freq steps changed to 192-400-608 MHz (light: 192-400-554 MHz)
- L2 OC/UV for extra performance (stock setting is a bottleneck, especially with OC)
- improved bus scaling
- RAM UV
- adjusted msm_thermal to prevent too much thermal throttling under heavy load
- added new "ECOACTIVE" governor and set as default
- added new "ECOPLUG" hotplug driver and set as default
- added FIOPS IO Scheduler and set as default
- added some more commonly used IO schedulers
- added fast random (and enabled via init.d)
- built with official gcc 4.8 with -O3 flags
"ECOACTIVE" is the ultimate governor for lag free performance and good battery life at the same time. It's based on interactive governor. It has a special input gain including the menu, home and back buttons. Separate input gain, fullspeed and eco/screen off phases minimize the use of high frequencys whithout slowing down the device noticably. The upscaling is more agressive during the input phase (default 1s). In the following fullspeed phase (default 10s, set to 0 for unlimited) full performance is allowed. The third phase is configured for battery saving usage while reading, watching videos, music listening or when the screen is off. This ensures maximum responsiveness and best gamig experience along with best possible battery life when reading, listening to music etc.
"ECOPLUG" is an alternative hotplug driver based on AutoSMP. It works much snappier on our device than the stock msm-mpdecision. On default setting second core is down when screen is off.
Everything is fully "pretweaked".
Flash from recovery, enyoy... no need to adjust anything via init.d or app.
Dont flash this kernel if you don't know how to fix problems after flashing !
Make a backup before flashing this kernel !
The hardware parameters are adapted near to the limits of my phone. This means this kernel will not work if your devices hardware cannot handle the OC/UV.
If you are lucky you run the fastest kernel available for your phone
If your phone doesn't run with the "lombartz kernel" you may try the "lombartz light kernel" with less agressive OC/UV.
My latest pure CM11 ROM build (Feb. 2016):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-1RyGtdRvCwWEVfc0ZhTTRzdXc
If you use Xposed framework you need to flash XposedFix after ROM.
regards,
lombartz
...updated.
this kernel is amazing but i have a problem when i connect the smartphone at bluetooth radio. In this case my smartphone freeze and always reboot.
sorry for my english
Hi, thanks for yor feedback Have you already checked if you have the same problem with the last official CM11 kernel from 20150105 ?
regards,
lombartz
edit: tested with my laptop as bluetooth- speaker with no problems. My actual Version is heavily tweaked at the Moment but nothing changed with audio or bluetooth.
Anyone else with bluetooth- playback issues out there ?
edit: found a possible reason for the problem. hope it's fixed in new version (see OP)
Thank you for this. Any chance to include f2fs into the kernel?

Strange. My data and cache partition are f2fs and with the f4ktion cm11 kernel all is working well, but after installation of your kernel I'm stuck at the boot logo.

Here is a Version without OC/UV or other tweaks but with all CM Updates. Its about 20% slower than the tweaked Version but more actual than the V20150212.
If this one boots your phone doesn't like my OC/UV settings...

This is a technically useless placebo feature and doesn' t save any energy.
The HFPLL has to be used to get the lower frequencys and this will eat the saved energy.

Hmm, the reason is the fstab.qcom, /cache and /data is expexted to be ext4.

hi, I dont know what HFPLL is (some high frequency PLL), but I trust you
but still, is more battery efficient to hold wakelock with 162MHz than with 384, no? (see my previous post)
But on theother hand, 50mW diference between 162 and 384 MHz isnt realy so large...

I suppose you mean 50 mV ? The lower UV limit is reached at about 384 MHz anyway.
Youre right with hfpll. Only at 384 MHz the CPU runs with pll8.
If you undervolt @ 384 manually as much as possible you will find that you cannot go noticeably lower if you clock down further.
At the Moment I am testing other tweaks that should be more effective an give some extra performance.

After app optimisation the phone reboots and after the reboot it hangs at the Samsung logo. Only recovering the old boot image helps. Don't know if the oc is the reason.
Update:
I've tried oc with f4ction kernel and had also a reboot. I guess my CPU is not the best.

[KERNEL][CM12.1][Linaro 4.9] EvoMix Kernel for CyanogenMod 12.1 based ROMs

This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 12.1, which is based on the EvoMix kernel by Alx31TLse, olivieer and SuperHanss (full credits to them). It is compiled by a Linaro 4.9.3 toolchain, which was optimized for Cortex A9 CPUs (thanks to Christopher83). It has a focus on stability, performance, endurance and overclock-ability (roughly in that order).
It uses the original ramdisk of the installed kernel (thanks to osm0sis), for maximum compatibly in the long run and instant adaptability to most source changes of CM. For now, it probably only works with the very latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58006383&postcount=1), due to the introduction of new sensor drivers! It should now works with other CM12.1 based ROMs, like crDroid and PAC, too. Please don't report bugs to qsnc, if you are using this kernel!
Features:
CPU: over/under-clock 1728MHz-192 MHz possible
governors: ondemand(plus), intelliactive, wheatley, ElementalX, ...
GPU: over/under-clock 487MHz-27MHz
governors: simple, performance, powersave, ondemand, conservative
File-systems: ext2/3/4, F2FS, exFAT, NTFS
Schedulers: noob, deadline, row, cfq, bfq, sio, fiops, zen, vr
intelli-plug hot-plugger and power saver (disable MPDecision first!)
Voltage Control (OC/UV)
Sound Control 3.x
poweramp controls (loudness enhancements)
screen colour tweaks
full NEON support
KSM support (Kernel Samepage Merging)
multicore power saver (recommended: enabled)
multirom compatibility
...
Performance: about 10% faster than original CM12.1-kernel with same settings, and some additional 20% speed by using maximum over-clocked frequencies (use at your own risk, every device is different!)
Configuration: Kernel Adiutor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor) or PerformanceControl 2.2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads)
Install: just flash the attached zip with CyanogenMod Recovery, TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...very-twrp-2-8-7-0-pollux-polluxwindy-t3187811) or CWM
Install a custom recovery first! The simple CyanogenMod Recovery, which comes with most ROMs, is pretty useless anyway..
Uninstall: re-flash the complete ROM (just re-flashing the original kernel is not enough!)
Sources: https://github.com/EvoMix/kernel_apq8064 (to obtain the defconfig: run "unpigz -cd /proc/config.gz")
Special thanks to Alx31TLse for his help and permission to post it!
Changelog:
2015-08-23:
rebuild using latest optimized Linaro 4.9.4 compiler by Christopher83
re-signed zip-file in order to make it compatible to file signature verification
refuses now to be installed by CyanogenMod Recovery
2015-06-13:
added Pollux version (use official nightly or recent unofficial build)
fixed bug in Sound Control's loudness enhancement, that only one speaker worked
removed inteli-active governor, due to random reboots
2015-05-31:
enhanced boot speed and file-system performance
buggy auto-hotplugger removed
reintroduction of CM's MPDecision (re-flash CM12.1 first, before installation!)
2015-05-28:
initial release
IF INSTALLATION FAILS: If the kernel installation is not working (i.e. installation takes less than 5 seconds and you don't see the new bootlogo), reflash latest ROM, reboot into recovery and try to install the kernel again!

Version Information
Status: Stable
Just installed latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc and this kernel. Seems great so far! Boots a lot faster and kritika plays faster!
I'm trying the overcloacking with Kernel Adiutor set to 1728MHz, I've to 3C widgets installed to monitor temperature and such. Great job!
May seem a bit offtopic but how is the combination intelliplug-ondemandplus?
I think i get some lag with this but it may be a placebo

First, I also used this combination, but experienced some lag, too. It is not necessary to enable intelliplug and I'm not sure if it does any good, since hot-plugging is handled by auto_hotplug. Actually it is not even included in the original EvoMix kernel.
I'm now using only intelliactive, which seems to keep the frequencies low most of the time, while producing only minimal lag.
But maybe it is really a matter of believe..

The over-clocking capabilities of the EvoMix kernel are rather conservative. I personally use it with maximum CPU and GPU frequencies and even a general -50mV under-voltage, and it seems to be perfectly stable. But no guarantee, every device is different!
Thanks for Kernel !
Multirom Patch inclusive ?

Traced the cause.After some time with intelliplug+ondemandplus cores 2,3,4 are permanently disabled.Now i am on intelliactive.Very good so far
I've been using Wheatley and OC 1728 for couple days now. No lag, no heat issues, everything is just peachy!

Yes its kexec patched, but we need to make tab z official to multirom app support, problem is...im running out of time, full time job, 10 months old baby ...kernel is time consumer, thanks to BlackAfgan to maintaining it.
More goodies to come
Tapatatrached from my Yuga
So apparently my tablet hates me. I can't get this kernel to actually flash for ****. I'm using the 5/27 CM 12.1 from the OP. Tried both versions of the kernel. It acts as if it flashes but is much too fast and the kernel version is the same. TWRP 2.8.5.0 from the OP link too.
EDIT: Nevermind I guess. Moved it to the root of the internal and renamed it to a shorter filename and it pushed it properly. No idea what was going on.

Try to format /system, reflash CM 12.1, reboot into recovery again, then flash the latest kernel, please.

Yea I had done that. It only worked after moving it. I also renamed it at the same time so I dunno which fixed the issue.

I had the same problem, especially when I flashed an already flashed kernel. I never found the actual reason, but at one point it started to work perfectly all the time..
This is due the pretty complicated process of splitting the original kernel of and recreating the new one in real time, on the device. Normally the developer does this on his PC, and releases a directly flashable combination of the actual kernel and a custom ramdisk.
If other people have the same problem persistently, I may publish an conventional kernel. Please report!
Does this work on "[Rom][UB][5.1.x][SGP311]☆Dirty Unicorns v9.3☆ Unofficial +EvoMix Kernel" rom??
So i tested the latest version.I use intelliplug+intelliactive
No issues so far.Intelliplug is shutting down cores faster which will propably save some juice
Also feels a little colder than before when gaming(asphalt 8)

anyway, thanks.
Hello, your kernel is very good, very fluid and good battery consumption in CM13, it would be possible in the future to add support KCAL?, can change the saturation, contrast, etc., thank you for your work.
[DEV][PATCH] KCAL - Advanced color control for Qualcomm MDSS 8x10/8x26/8974/8084/8939
Great kernel. Has improved battery life quite a bit !
Thanks!! Testing on CM13... Looks good
Good battery consumption.

Great kernel so far, thanks for making a custom kernel for 6.0, I've been waiting for one.
Would it be possible for you to add support for DriveDroid to your kernel?

Your kernel its a dream hahahaha I was waiting for a kernel with fauxsound since I've bought this phone. So, first of all, thank you very much for your kernel and we appreciate your work and your time spent with this kernel. But lets get to the facts:
1) In RR 5.6.0 your kernel cause bootloop;
2) In CM13 (specifically 2015-12-12 build) I had a lot of random reboots and the sound (specifically Play Music and Deezer) sometimes was cracking or just not played;
3) In CrDroid I had the same thing in CM13 but the rom has some serious bugs, so we don't count it;
4) In Nexus Experience 10.0.4 I just had ONE random reboot (take note: the first boot, so lets blame the instability of the rom) and, since then, my phone is working completely perfect.
5) With kernel auditor all of my preferences are saved and sticked after a reboot (in Nexus Experience 10.0.4)
Note: All of the Roms was fresh installed, wiped everything (including internal storage) then installed ROM->GAPPS (NX GApps in Nexus Experience and OpenGApps in the other roms)->KERNEL
Maybe with some work in your kernel and in the newer roms, this phone will gain some fresh air!
Thank you again!
Ps.: not an american guy, so please, I'm sorry for any english mistake

No EMUI support for now.
I guess, it won't work on P8 Max because there isn't a Lineage OS ROM for it.

Hi,
Thank you for this kernel. I have a question, i'm using Huawei P8 and how can i change cpu and gpu settings? I use Ex Kernel Manager but all settings are grayed out Or it's not possible to overclock cpu and gpu?

Yep, i do. Also i installed CM 13 and thought i will be able to overclock cpu or atleast change cpu profile to make phone a little faster but there is no performance option in setting nor i can change anything under EX Kernel Manager
EDIT: Ha, okay, false information. My phone is not rooted or at least not rooted properly, that's what root check apps say. So hm... i dunno what to do. Could it be because my phone is not properly rooted?
EDIT2: Okay, i solved this thing. Had to install supersu once more to make it work properly. Now under EX Kernel Manager i can change powersave and performance values but again, how to make it to work because cpu profile is still interactive and i dunno where and how to change it

From the side menu go to the CPU section. There you will have options for governors and CPU frequencies.
Looks like i had to reboot my phone to make advanced settings in EX Kernel Manager to work. Now i see everything. Gonna test it now.
Thank you so much for your help!
hi~ I've been using peak kernel for weeks and I'd say it's stable and great.
The wifi bonding feature seems not working. I don't know if I had misunderstand it,but wouldn't the wifi speed be 144Mbps?The current speed is still 72mbps.
Besides, the frequency of the little cluster is almost always 1516mhz/1209mhz and never runs at 403mhz.
Btw, the current released version is still 0.4 not 0.5 as OP.
Thank you all devs!:good:

You can't force the phone to use 40 MHz networks. But you can do it from your router settings instead. Also, v0.5 was in testing, but we haven't released it yet. It seemed to be stable, so I will publish it soon.
I did successfully installed LineageOS for P8 on my P8 Max. It boots okay, graphics and touch screen are working. But WiFi and cellular are not. Is it related to kernel driver settings or the android firmware?
is there a way to install the official kernel?

Stefano

[WIP] Crimson Kernel [EAS] [8.1.0/9.0]

Hi everyone
As title shows, this is a WIP project
(I don't own the device, all builds are blind!)
What is EAS?
Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) is an enhancement to Linux power management, unifying CPU power control under the Linux kernel. EAS extends the Linux kernel scheduler to make it fully aware of the power/performance capabilities of the CPUs in the system, to optimize energy consumption for advanced multi-core SoCs including big.LITTLE. With EAS, the Linux kernel will use the task load and a CPU ‘Energy Model’ to control task placement to select the optimal CPU to run on.
Google thinks, EAS is the way to go for the future. With this kernel you can get pixel (2) experience even before the pixel (2) is released.
Interesting links for further research:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-fastest-android-phone-eas/
https://developer.arm.com/open-source/energy-aware-scheduling
Features
- Full EAS 1.3 implementation (based on EAS Project and LineageOS official kernel)
- Works on HMP ROMS too (you need to use sched/schedutil, HMP stuff are removed from kernel, otherwise you'll face freqs stuck at 100%)
- STune Boost for better battery and performance
- F2FS supported
- Tweaks and changes under the hood
Feel free to try and report your feedback (and logs too)
Download here
Installation
- Reboot to TWRP
- Backup your current boot.img
- Flash the kernel
- Reboot!
Sources here

@jcadduono
@joshuous (EAS Project)
And everyone worked for this device and LineageOS bring-up
Changelog
04/11
- Initial release
07/11
- Completely rebased over the latest CAF Oreo Tag (LA.UM.6.6, it *should* work on Pie, but not guaranteed!)
- 3.18.124
- Completely re-done EAS
- New LMK for better RAM managment
- Android upstream for AIO (check if MTP works better or worse than before)
- Better battery and performance
EAS - Energy Aware Scheduling
WIP - Work in Progress
HMP - Heterogeneous Multi-Processing
HAL - Hardware abstraction layer
Do you plan to update the kernel on a regular base?

When there are major changes to be applied - then yes
Otherwise makes no sense to push update with little to no changes at all
You tested it?
Currently testing it on LOS16. Boots just fine, I'm charging the phone to 100% now to give it a go and I'll be back with some feedback tomorrow. So far everything I've tested works fine.
Not jet, but EAS sounds interesting
Update: installed - currently testing
@sys01: You've said that it works on ROMs based on LineageOS. But does it work on ROMs that are based on AOSP? Is F2FS supported for data and cache partitions?
Thanks!

i use this now on dotos oreo with f2fs data.But on interactive the cpu freq stays on max,whatsup with this?
@Predatorhaze: So, you say this kernel works with F2FS data on DotOS Oreo? I literally just tried that a few days ago, but with Hellsgate/Schwifty kernels, no go. But maybe I'll try again now. Thanks for the heads up!

i have data in f2fs,and yes it boots and everything works till now.
Only is that dolby atmos dont work anymore,dont know why.On previous build with ext4 it worked.
I was confused because the freq on interactive,but already read a answer and that is due its eas kernel.
good we have eas now,i use helix engine also
if anyone got a working dolby atmos,pls let me know

ok.untill now everything seems stable.
can you set schedutil as default on next update? and you think about adding kcal feature (saturations etc) and some wakeblocks?
running on dotos 2.5 oreo,magisk 17.3,crimson kernel,f2fs data partition and los universal v2 bootstack
an update to the current lineage OS kernel would be great since September has changed a lot on the go kernel
Your kernel works with AOSP Basis Rom
(have your kernel briefly tested with the havoc 2.0 Rom)
Running this right now on LOS 15, for the entire day, without any issues that I can see. :good:
Used EX Kernel Manager to set governors.
The kernel runs pretty well on Pie, but I think it's pretty aggressively throttled. Once the temp gets to 40°C the LITTLE cores get set to 960 MHz and the big cores to around the same. It's also kind of sluggish when the phone is taken out of deep sleep, and scrolling isn't that great. However, deep sleep works wonders. The discharge rate with screen off is ~0.3% per hour.
Oh, and it may just be me, but playing audio thtough the speakers makes the phone temp get pretty high, which again makes it get throttled and really slow.

New version coming soon, hopefully this time around should be way more smooth and stable
Also, EAS takes time to make it perfect, but soon or later it will!
Thank you for your work. This kernel is great and really shows the benefits of EAS on an older SOC like the S820. Sure, it needs polishing, but it's a great start
