This is a Kernel, based on Lord Boeffla's Kernel, "boeffla-kernel-4.1-CM14.1-g900f", which is based on LineageOS Kernel, which is based on AOSP (google) Kernel, which is based on Linux Kernel.
It should be installed via Recovery (TWRP or CWM) over any other LOS 14/15 ROM/kernel, just like boeffla kernel. It doesn't need any tweaking with any app. Install it and use it.
BUT you can use "boeffla config app" if you like tweaking. You will receive a Warning about "mpdecision", just ignore it.
It has:
- a different "low memory killer" algorithm
- zcache is disabled for really freeing memory that was used for caching files (when needed) instead of compressing it
- a different default cpu hotplugger. Every other kernel (even LOS/stock) relies on Qualcomm's MPDecision, I wrote my own, *****es
- Tuned governor (it's the default). It's basically the Interactive but with a lot of tuning.
- many compiler optimizations not found on boeffla or LOS
- many unused code simply REMOVED to free memory and CPU. People just add more stuff, I like to remove
- TV tuners removed from code. wtf...
- many unstable governors and i/o schedulers removed
Note that even though 2GB of RAM isn't too little, if you have too many memory-hungry apps, performance will always suffer; Most apps are started(loaded up to RAM) right after booting; There are ways to prevent this auto-start but I can't remember now..
Overall your phone will be snappier, and less battery hungry

KTMonitor = an app that will show your cpus clocks in real time, in a overlay window. simple, fast, no ads.
If you only see the first cpu (CPU0), you'll have to change kernel selinux mode to Permissive instead of Strict. Boeffla config app can do it.

Reserved
220818:
-hstcp as tcp congestion control
090818:
-and zram disabled again
-compiled with the leanest toolchain type
-undervolt back on, I guess
-lowmemorykiller from xiaomi's stock kernel
-read ahead disabled completely
-more unused kernel parts removed
-more compiler optimization
280618:
-zram enabled again, now with lz4 that should have been used since forever but wasn't
-some kernel fixes from around the net. should be even faster
"tuned" governor tweaked a bit, and it's profiles too (for those who still uses boeffla app to tweak things)
210618:
-LOS 15.x build
-268mhz as default min speed and 2.6ghz as default max speed
-can't figure out why swap is being used A LOT even with swappiness=5, making battery life miserable, so zram disabled again
-"tuned" governor as default. It's a "interactive" with bugs fixed and tweaked
-"zen" scheduler as default, with some bugs fixed. it's fast, simple, almost like noop+deadline+row mixed
230418:
-latest boeffla-based
-wifi tweaked
-zram (swap) is back
-other compiler flags not enabled before
280218:
-beta22 based
-lmk faster than before while screen is on. slower than before when screen is off
-interactuned governor will save some cpu while screen is off
160218:
-now compiling with linaro 8.0
-"interactive" governor renamed to "interactuned" to get rid of conflicting values
-"interactuned" profiles updated on boeffla app (standard, performance, battery, battery extreme)
-tuned hotplugger tweaked a bit
110218:
-lmk will search, compare apps' scores, and kill them in groups. the stock lmk and the "less aggressive" lmk from build 020218 were killing one app at a time
-put tuned hotplugger to run more often when display is on. the cpu cost is minimal as it is extremely simple
-tweaked compiler flags again to not make code large
020218:
-boeffla's beta21 based
-less aggressive lmk again
-tweaked compiler flags
-tweaked interactive governor
-tweaked tuned hotplugger
301217:
-more aggressive lmk
-less aggressive tuned hotplugger
-tweaked the default interactive values in ramdisk (via anykernel), as they are modified by it on boot
-tweaked also the boeffla app interactive profiles
-performance governor will really drain your battery now, but it will be even faster (max cpu clock, all cpus on if using tuned hotplugger)
-compiling with O2 but with some O3 flags. it seems to be faster than 211217
211217:
-beta20 from boeffla
201217:
-tweaked some filesystem stuff
-it seems tuned hotplug was being ramdonly disabled, fixed
-changed how tuned hotplug enables/disables cpus:
it was based on the number of processes needing cpu. But the system itself didn't count as "processes", so I changed it to look at the cores frequencies instead. The cpu governors itself has a lot of code just to measure how busy the cpus are before raising or lowering frequencies, I think it's faster/lighter to just use that info instead of calculating again or in another way.. In practice: cpu0 at max frequency will turn on cpu1 and so on. Any cpu on lowest frequency for some time will turn it off. I don't really know if this will be better or worse than the code before(151217)
151217:
-beta19 from boeffla
071217:
-beta18 from boeffla kernel
-zram/swap fully disabled. The slowdowns are unacceptable. It seems we will always get a huge performance/battery hit with any kind of swap. For now I think it's better to let the "low memory killer" do its thing than swapping. Remember: Killing an app will instantly free RAM with zero CPU usage. Swapping means a lot of CPU usage, and (as swapping occurs in RAM), only 40-50% of ram will be freed.
011217:
-beta17 from boeffla kernel
-tweaked tuned hotplugger a bit. changing from mpdecision to tuned on config won't bug the lower frequency
-swapping should be faster
271117:
-hotplugers "mpdecision" and "optimized mpd" working again. zzmoove hotplugers removed (the governor itself was removed long ago)
"interactive" profiles changed a bit: "performance" will have more performance, and "battery" will really save more battery
-zram compression (swap) may be even faster now
-compiler toolchain updated to gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11
-processor scheduler using logarithmic scaling
-"tuned" hotplugger logic was changed a bit. it will turn on/off cpus based only on average load, but will obey the "order" and may turn all on if the load is suddenly high. it may also use less cpu to compute
-"interactive" governor may also use less cpu
So it's safe to say that this kernel could just be flashed over beta12 , i would like to test it and see the difference at work .
Also , Thank you for the work you put into this.
I have found that using kernel auditor to turn off ALMK off in my variant of boeffla kernel has helped tremendously with ram management. I'm curious if what you have done here will work even better. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I think it would. This "ALMK" is a new feature that only made more obvious what was already broken. I was already trying to get rid or modify LMK when it was integrated to our LOS kernel.
You could, *at least*, drain less battery by installing this mod. If you have time, please compare before and after.. I think it does use less cpu and the phone won't "gag" when it needs more memory (like when opening a new app)
64MB for empty applications? That is TOO low. The default is 180MB. This way, lmk would/should only kill anything when all the system has only ~64MB to cache files.
The memory lmk really counts is not the real "free" ram, it's the "cached" ram. Our "free" ram is almost always ~44MB..
the Linux kernel will use available memory for disk caching, unless it's required by a running program.
This is considered good; say you have 4 GB RAM, and your programs are using only 1 GB. The other 3 GB are going to waste. Despite the "feel-good" impression from knowing you're only using 25% of your memory, the counterpart is that the other 75% is going unused. So the kernel uses that for caching files which significantly improves performance. It's automatic; unlike older operating systems you don't need to decide how much to devote to disk cache, or manually configure it.
"The Linux disk cache is very unobtrusive. It uses spare memory to greatly increase disk access speeds, and without taking any memory away from applications. A fully used store of ram on Linux is efficient hardware use, not a warning sign."

From what I'm seeing this is working great. Free Ram seems to be holding steady between 700 and 800 MB.
Would you mind if I implement this into a test version of my kernel? I would like to see if it has any ill effects with the added features I have in mine.

VERY interesting! For me deactivating ALMK in Kernel Adiutor didn't help so far. But I didn't test this brand new kernel yet - just the older version based on boeffla kernel beta11. This new thread is one the most helpful of the last 3 month! Thank you so much, @fbs!
VERY good news! I have subjected your current kernel to a heavy stress test. Made a Nandroid backup triggered by SManager in the background. Half of the time (about 12 minutes) I chatted on WhatsApp and was surfing with Chrome while the backup was running in the background. This *never* had been working before without any issues. Afterwards I synchronized the 5 GB backup with my NAS via FolderSync in the background. This also worked perfect! In addition, there were no slowdowns or lags at work. Everything ran (and runs) absolutely fluently. At the first glance I'd say it's the far best kernel I ever used on my S5!
I've added another version, with ZCACHE disabled. It may speed up things when accessing files and may solve some bugs. (whispering: I think it was badly implemented, no one uses it anymore..). If anyone is interested in comparing the performance of both versions, including battery usage.. feel free to post!!

I will gladly give it a try. But I am truly more than satisfied with the current version! It runs smoothly and reliably. I couldn't detect any bugs. The most important thing is that we also get a beta13 and beta14 and so on...
The no zcache version seems pretty damn smooth so far. I haven't really stressed tested yet, but I'm not getting lockups and lag spikes as I was with normal one.
Please keep up the good work.
Battery life is outstanding but I did just drop a brand new battery from Anker this weekend. So. . . .

I believe the whole thing is also strongly related to the swappiness-value. My swappiness is set to 30 and I can't see any advantages or disadvantages, whether zcache is switched on or off.

Hi all, welcome to SwiftExtreme MIUI/CM kernel
Version-20112011 is the final version of SwiftExtreme, I'm not going to release any kernel in MIUI/CM in XDA, there 2 reasons :
1. I got more than 800 downloads in kernel, but I rarely see people saying thanks(you can see my thanks only around 100, compared with 800 downloads), so I think I don't have a reason to publish my works in XDA anymore. I'm going to make SwiftExtreme to support ICS later, and only need to be release on our local forum that know how to thanks for hardwork
2. Some version of ROM include my kernel without notice me that kernel is used as their kernel ROM. I don't have a problem with that, but please tell me, so I know how is the kernel spread around the globe.
I hope everyone can enjoy my latest kernel, and work with patch that I provide againts CM kernel source code(October 19,2011)
WARNING : YOU'LL GET A LITTLE DELAY IN WAKEUP SCREEN PROCESS/CALLING ACCEPT
Kernel-20112011 - FINAL
Features :
-[20112011] Add autogroup to increase interactivity when screen on
-[20112011] Add autogroup to background process, it will reduce background process trying to get cpu attention by grouping process tasks, slightly increase battery lifetime
-[20112011] Update kernel to 2.6.32.48, more bug fixing
-[20112011] Reduce backlight voltage need, slightly increase battery lifetime
-[20112011] Introduce Powersaving version, the different is, powersaving doesn't have spare frequency at screen off, based on my testing, it increase lifetime around 10-20%, but gives you more delay when switching screen state
-[20112011] Introduce ability to turn off second core at specific frequency, slightly increase battery lifetime, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19419710&postcount=334
-[13112011] Reduce cpu voltage a little bit
-[20112011] Add voltage in some area to increase stability
-[13112011] Increase second core turn on frequency limit threshold and delay second core turn on, faster second core turn off. It should increase your battery lifetime when doing light task, like reading facebook, scrolling homescreen/drawer, watching movies, etc
-[12112011] Enable EXT2 and LED fix problem
-[12112011] DDR Undervolt
-[12112011] Return back to 216Mhz as lowest stock, introduce +100Mhz as spare frequency to make kernel can breath a little when doing task at screen off. It should make your screen turn on much faster and reduce MP3 glitch. With this method, kernel will work at 216Mhz-316Mhz at screen off
-[12112011] Add Simpe I/O as kernel default scheduler, watch out for tweakpack, it may change kernel scheduler on one its script
-[12112011] Now compiled with gcc 4.6 with -Ofast option
-[12112011] Implement some patch that fix memory leak, optimize lowmemorykiller function, and mmc sleep mode
-[05112011A] Now compatible in nightly CM and MIUI begins from 1.11.4 version
-[05112011A] reduce some volt in lowest clock and sdram
-[05112011A] use git SHA-1, it should speedup kernel boot process upto 11%
-[05112011A] Improve memcpy and memmove kernel performance
-[05112011A] CRC32 algorithm optimization. it should increase any activities that use CRC32 algoritm
-[05112011] Replace deadline with noop as kernel I/O scheduler
-[05112011] Compiler cflags optimization, use O3 right now....
-[05112011] Increase standby frequency clock to 256Mhz instead 216Mhz, slightly increase screen/phone call wakeup, battery drain itself doesn't change too much, still around 20% in 7 hours 3G, all sync ON in my area while standby.
-[05112011] cgroup speedup
-[05112011] Introduce file sync disabled, it boost kernel write algoritm with slightly increase rate data corrupt when your phone get crash(use androbench to bench the write speedup, bench first before flash the kernel to see the different). beside write access speedup, it make MIUI more smooth, faster installing apks, and in some games it seems the loading much faster
-[05112011] Increase TCP initial congestion window to 10 and initial receive window
-[05112011] Remove Jhash3, replace with Jhash speed tweak
-Provide 1.5Ghz and 1.2Ghz version(use PimpmyCPU to control clock and voltage)
-Excellent standby power management(Make sure you remove any script that control screen state ON/OFF when using this kernel, it will mess the kernel mechanism)
-[30102011]JHASH 3.0 patch
-SLQB as default allocator
-[30102011]Deadline I/O Kernel patch NAND storage optimize
-Improve scheduler latency
-Voodoo V1 sound driver

Tips increasing battery life :
1. Build your rom installation with Toogle2G, it helps a lot battery drain when screen off. 3G only active while screen ON, and get turn off automatically back to 2G when screen OFF.
2. Pick correct baseband, better signal, more battery life
3. When you're using script in init.d, just make sure you don't have lot of scripts that do looping on background. eventhough it only takes small amount resources
fire3d got it running on stock, based on his testing, brightness not working on stock, check it:

I'm already test it for 3 days, got no problem receiving call, there is a probability that your phone doesn't support low clock when in call... If your phone doesn't support it.., SwiftExtreme is not for you .
maybe on next version, gonna make SetCPU compatible, so it can make "on call" frequency control..

i'm using Vorkkernel without problems
with your Kernel, Setcpu or CPU Master must be turned off?
When you're in call, screen off. When screen off, kernel down clock mechanism get triggered. So, your phone probably not support low clock when in call. This kernel down clock when screen off is the most important feature of this kernel.

Lulzactive - Thanks to Tegrak
Based on Interactive and Smartass. When workload is greater than or equal to 60%, the governor scales up
CPU to next higher step. When workload is less than 60%, governor scales down CPU to next lower step.
When screen is off, frequency is locked to global scaling minimum frequency
Virtuous
Virtuous is a modded smartassV2 which gives even more battery time then smartassV2
Intellidemand - Thanks to faux123
This is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling,
and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such.
Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
Lazy - Thanks to Ezekeel
The Idea here is to eliminate any instabilities caused by fast frequency switching by ondemand.
Lazy governor polls more often than ondemand, but changes frequency only after completing min_time_state
on a step overriding sampling interval.
Lazy also has a screenoff_maxfreq parameter which when enabled will cause the governor to always
select the maximum frequency while the screen is off.
-Ondemandx:
Basically an ondemand with suspend/wake profiles. This governor is supposed to be a battery friendly ondemand. When screen is off, max frequency is capped at 500 mhz. Even though ondemand is the default governor in many kernel and is considered safe/stable, the support for ondemand/ondemandX depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching which are very low latency frequency transitions. I have read somewhere that the performance of ondemand/ondemandx were significantly varying for different i/o schedulers. This is not true for most of the other governors. I personally feel ondemand/ondemandx goes best with SIO I/O scheduler.
-Lionheart:
Is a conservative-based governor. The tunables (such as the thresholds and sampling rate) were changed so the governor behaves more like the performance one, at the cost of battery as the scaling is very aggressive.
To 'experience' Lionheart using conservative, try these tweaks:
sampling_rate:10000 or 20000 or 50000, whichever you feel is safer. (transition latency of the CPU is something below 10ms/10,000uS hence using 10,000 might not be safe).
up_threshold:60
down_threshold:30
freq_step:5
Lionheart goes well with deadline i/o scheduler. When it comes to smoothness (not considering battery drain), a tuned conservative delivers more as compared to a tuned ondemand.
BadAss Governor:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1024Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Superbad -
A "superbad" super smooth rendition of a highly optimized "smartass" governor!
Darkside -
A "slightly more agressive smart" optimized governor!
What else-----
-SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)-(both)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate).
- Added Cleancache
- Supports ext 2,3
- Updated zRam
- Lzo compression/decompression speed has doubled on average.
- Init.d support
- Fudgeswap
- And much more
- O/C and stable upto 2ghz, although I do not recommend O/C to 2ghz for long periods of time, do so at your own risk.
Show your support for the kernel and my work by putting this in your signature, its only a quick one I done up with my limited time

Check your MD5 match the above if not re-download
Zram is not enabled by default- to enable it flash the zip below
If for whatever reason you want to disable it after you have flashed the .zip, just go to ect/init.d and delete 00zram :victory:
CIFS
The attached zip for CIFS is not a flashable zip read below
Make sure you download Cifs-v2 if your using v2 of kernel
What is CIFS???
Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) are normally used to provide shared access to files on a network, mostly involving computers running MS Windows.
It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and access the files transparently via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.) Settings are stored on your SD card with permissions to write also to your SD card.
Instructions
- extract cifsfile.zip from below
- save cifs,ko file to your sdcard
- in terminal emulator
- cd sdcard
- su
- insmod cifs.ko
Now download CifsManager or similar app and configure it

Less ram because of 720p recording, was going to remove it but though people would want it, fxp have re-added it to fxp137, I can i Ilsa remove it for next release of people don't want it.
As for governors for performance I recommend intellidemand, superbad, darkside or battery life smartass, smartassv2 or virtuous. And keep SIO as scheduler it default in all my kernels

Important:
There are no other features than mentioned in the changelog. I restarted the kernel and I think I wont add OC etc. This kernel is not ready yet but damn stable and fast. No need to oc anything (my opinion).
For brightness (gamma) adjustment: You will notice a heavy brightness drop between lowest and lowest +1 step brightness. The one before the lowest was the lowest brightness that comes with normal cm kernel. I will make a better transition between the last two steps within the next update.

Greenblob kernel control:
This is the official app to control all features of Greenblob kernel (for now available on Galaxy S2G, visit XDA for infos).
But most features can also be used on any other device! (Ok, not any but for a big number).
You can:
- Change status of tweaks
- Cpu OC
- GPU OC
- Change voltage
Installation:
As usual: Flash the flashable .zip in cwm. Only working on aosp jellybean roms!
Download:

FAQ:
How do i change voltage?
Use the latest version of setcpu, leantweaks, cputuner, or your ROM's built-in tools.
Do i need to wipe dalvik/cache?
In general there's no need, but it doesn't hurt so if you have time go ahead. Posted Image I don't wipe.
What's the variable on the GPU OC?
The kernels GPU is now set to stock 307Mhz by default. You can adjust that by using Variable GPU OC (see a separate FAQ entry below).
When you go from say 307 to 512Mhz, you will not experience near double performance increase. Due to the factors outside the GPU module (ie. memory bandwidth limitation), you can't truly OC the GPU. In fact, most people can't tell the difference between 307, 384 and 512. Nenamark2 will roughly give you the following scores: 307/25fps, 384/28fps, and 512/31fps.
Some of you have seen the note from Colin, the Google kernel engineer, not to OC the GPU because using the OV_UV voltage slot will drain the battery. Greenblob kernel uses the same voltage for both OV and OV_UV slots. So there's no danger of battery drain there.
My phone doesn't seem to be deep-sleeping, what gives?
(assuming you checked in the right place like cpuspy) In terms of deep-sleep, there's not a whole lot going on in the kernel. It works or it doesn't - and I can assure you that I test every release (well almost every release) for deep-sleep before I release.
19 out of 20 times it's either 1) some sort of background process that's preventing your phone from going into deepsleep, or 2) something's misconfigured in your ROM, or both. Also connecting to USB will prevent phone from going into deepsleep.
I'm having unusual battery drain - help!
First of all, our i9100g (AS every Smartphone ^^) has very poor battery life while in active use. It's downright horrible while screen is on - screen is definitely the main culprit and there's not a whole lot I can do about that.
Custom undervolting can help or can hurt. This is mainly due to SmartReflex (class1.5) which auto-calibrates the ideal voltages for you. In fact, with SR you don't really need to use the custom undervolting feature for frequencies other than the 2 lowest. It does a great job calibrating higher frequencies. I personally don't touch it.
The "notrim" versions are an exception because I had to disable SR1.5 for the trim override to work. There's no auto-calibration going on there. Feel free to mess with custom undervolting on the notrim versions.
Now, if you've already accepted the horrible battery life while screen is on, but have questions about battery drain while idle - read the next question.
I'm having unusual battery drain while screen is off, or phone is sleeping - help!
First, let's find out if you're phone is going into deep-sleep. Install CPUSpy, unplug phone, turn off screen, and leave the phone alone for 5-10min. Turn the screen back on, launch CPUSpy, and see if you see an active entry for Deep Sleep. If so congratulations - read on.
If you've determined that your phone is not entering deepsleep by using the above method, read my entry above that says "My phone doesn't seem to be deep-sleeping". I've heard that removing SDM.apk helps as well as rebooting the phone. Also try turning your bluetooth on and off, and launching camera app and closing it.
If you've determined that your phone is entering deepsleep fine but still feel like battery drains, read the next question.
I'm having unusual battery drain while phone is in deep-sleep - help!
First make sure you are absolutely positive that deep sleep is working (read the previous question).
While on my kernel *and* connected to Wifi, you shouldn't drain more than 2% battery per hour *average* while in deep sleep (based on 5-8 hour continuous deep sleep). With wifi turned-off, my guess is probably no more than 3-6% per hour, depending on signal strength.
tip 1: If above is not happening for you, first charge the phone all the way and reboot. Let things settle a bit - give it a day or so. If you're using Battery Monitor Widget (which is not accurate for gnex), things should eventually settle between -2mA and -60mA per sample.
tip 2: Install BetterBatteryStats and look at which wakelocks dominate. Google search for names of the wakelocks to see how you can fix them.
tip 3: http://checkthis.com/d87t
If nothing seems to help, you can try the "notrim" version, but stick to speeds between 350 and 1350 (don't use OC slots). The notrim version has SR1.5 disabled which could help for those of you with drain issues on my other kernels.
What is SmartReflex?
SmartReflex performs continuous dynamic voltage scaling around the nominal operating point voltage according to silicon characteristics and operating conditions.
My stable and experimental builds will have SR Class 1.5 enabled by default.
You can disable SR via sysfs
How do I use Variable GPU OC?
You can use Lean Tweaks by Jake, or use the built-in "oc" script. Both leantweaks and my oc script will create an init.d script so the setting sticks at boot. My "checkt" script will also show the current GPU max speed. Note that 512MHz will probably not work for everyone.
307Mhz (stock) is set default by the kernel.
Open Terminal, and type for stock speed of 307Mhz: oc gpu 0
for 384MHz: oc gpu 1
for 512Mhz: oc gpu 2
FAQ partly taken from leankernel! I changed the important parts for us! Thanks to them! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790675
An app for variable gpu oc is already in progress! For now please read the FAQ

Oh, you'll love this.. So what actually is different in this kernel?
Core
Updated to 2.6.39.1
Brain F*ck Scheduler implemented for fast task switching, smooth scrolling and possible power saving
Code cleaned and optimized in the right places
Updated Android Binder, Ashmem and Timed GPIO drivers from 3.10-rc5 upstream sources
Compressed with the fastest compressor on the market: LZ4
Processor
Updated CPUFREQ drivers
Voltage Control (undervolted by default to a range of stable values)
Aggressive Overclock
PLL2 Overclock possible inside the app
Updated all the governors to their latest versions
Zen Governor written exclusively for our SoC
Zen
Borrows part of its scaling logic from SmartassV2
Adds Zen Dynamics
This feature makes the governor's parameters completely dynamic. The parameters change by themselves based on various system information (cpu load, suspended state etc.) This ensures that the governor will not bump to high frequencies when it is not needed, and that it will provide enough computational power in high workload cases.
Performance Bias parameter
This is a simple number between 0 and 15 and the only tunable parameter of the Zen governor. When this is changed every other parameter is recalculated through different formulas based on this value. A higher value will make your phone snappier, at the cost of some battery life and viceversa.
TouchPulse and SweepPulse interfaces
TouchPulse is the updated and much more accurate version of the older BoostPulse. This works by giving a slight boost on user input (key or touch).
SweepPulse shoots the CPU frequency to the maximum value when a Sweep function is activated to ensure best responsivity. Don't worry, this happens very fast, so no battery life is wasted in the process.
Suspend profile
When the screen is turned off, the governor keeps the power usage at minimum by re-tuning its parameters
Memory
LowMemoryKiller updated from 3.10-rc5 upstream sources
LMK Whitelist
This is a list of apps which will never be killed by the system, unless you do it intentionally.
I didn't have time to implement a better way for adding apps to this list, so I'll explain the primitive and only usable way right now.
In /system/etc/Badass you will find a file called whitelist. This file can only contain apps in java class path form, separated by commas. Like this:
com.touchtype.swiftkey, org.adw.launcher, com.whatever.app
All the apps that you add to this list, will be written to the LowMemoryKiller at every boot.
LMK Aggressivity: this parameter makes app-killing more or less aggressive. It can be controlled inside the app.
Latest ZRam driver with LZ4 compression (activated at boot so you won't have to bother)
Sweep functions
When the screen is off...
Sweep2Wake
This gesture wakes the phone by sliding your finger from left to right in the middle of the screen
Its sensitivity is controlled by a single parameter (factor) which can be modified inside the app
DoubleTap2[Wake/Play/Pause]
This gesture wakes the phone with a double tap on the screen if the lock timeout of 5 seconds hasn't passed yet. If the timeout has passed, double tapping the screen will Play/Pause the music.
The Media Control feature (Play/Pause) can be disabled, making DoubleTap2Wake work even after the lock timeout has passed.
Pocket Keyguard
This feature prevents accidental unlocks when the phone is inside your pocket.
When the screen is on...
Sweep2Lock
Sweep4Menu
SweepKeys
All these functions work by swiping up from the first 3 pixels at the bottom of the screen(deadzone).
The Deadzone and the Sweep sensitivity are changeable in the app.
Internet
Westwood+ TCP Congestions Algorithm
Adaptive RED net scheduler backported from 3.4 upstream sources
Congestion window values tweaked
TCP Proportional Rate Reduction
Performance
Zen and ROW I/O schedulers
Triple Buffering
TinyRCU
Dynamic Filesync
Using the 20-50x faster frandom generator instead of the default random.
Never depleting entropy using Haveged and some new kernel code.
Dynamically changing kernel values based on suspend profiles (writeback ratios, cache pressure etc)
System cleaning every 3 days:
Zipalign every apk
Vacuum and Reindex every SQLite database
Clean the garbage data created by the system
Clean app caches
SpeedMod (disable kernel debugging)
Remove 98% of the active debugging code
USB Fast Charge
Native Multitask Enhancer
Replace services.jar Supercharging with a more native approach
Make Home app unkillable
Raise PreviousApp priority to make task switching faster
Handle CPU time allowed for the foreground app
Raise priority of the following processes
Kernel Threads
ALSA driver (audio playback)
Keyboard
SystemUI
Restrict resources used by the media scanner
Dev's last words (a.k.a. read this carefully before saying anything stupid)
This is a stable version and I call it final. I won't update it, unless there are some major bugs like setting phones on fire, giving them artificial intelligence or sh*t like that.
DON'T USE ANY OTHER TWEAK ON THIS KERNEL. These tweaks include, but are not limited to:
Performance Pack
Fly-On Mod
CrossBreeder
I/O Tweaks
V6 Supercharger
Whatever else with a cool name which has the words script, pack or mod in it
Don't get me wrong, these mods are good (most of them), but what's good is already included in the kernel itself
Use Greenify. It is an awesome app, and it does its job very well. I couldn't fully replicate its' features inside the kernel because I don't have access to Android APIs.
The first boot will be slow, due to the zipaligning and SQLite optimizing. Don't freakin' panic. This will happen only once in three days.
If you feel that the system is slow with the kernel, raise the Performance Bias, the LMK Aggressivity and maybe your max CPU frequency. The default values are optimized for ICS, not JB. Play with those values until you find that sweet spot.
Change your damn Superuser app. Use SuperSU or an insecure SU binary. The original SU binaries found on ROMs are freakin' slow nowadays.
Even better, use ICS. JellyBean is not for our low-end phones. But, your choice..
The key settings for the SweepKeys are ROM dependant. For example Recents SweepKey might not work on some JB ROMs. I can't do anything to fix this.
Don't be lazy. I'm here to help, but please show me that you've made some effort on the research for your questions.
And the thanks go to..

Hey guys. I will leave my town in 2 hours and I won't have access to a computer for at least one month. I will be able to respond from my Mini, but I surely won't be able to fix any bugs that might appear.
Until then, take care

Please read the whole thread before asking. Everything is written there. I know I could simply tell you what that term means, but I need people to read everything.
I don't have time to answer the same questions over and over again.
First impression: insanely fast
But a minute after boot, bad ass control crashes and all sweep2things stop working. I rebooted a few times and no change. So, i replaced superuser with supersu. Again after several reboots, control app keeps crashing thus stopping all sweep2things... to reuse them I have to reboot.
Steps I followed:
Wipe data and cache
Format system
install cm9.2 plus from erikcas
Install badass kernel v2 (for cm9.2)
I will reflash everything again and hope for better...

Not for me.app crashes only if it do not get su access in required time.
Otherwise it is awesome.yippe this kernel solves the problem of softkeys

As I said, these keys are ROM dependant. If your ROM has different key layouts, some keys won't work as expected. I'm using a modified ICS keylayout but I can't make it universal.
I wish I could disable them in some cases (keyboard, status bar expanded, games) but the kernel doesn't have access to android APIs and can't distinguish between the applications.

The kernel is stable, but the app has some problems. I'm not a good Java programmer, I did my best to make it work in normal cases. I never experienced su problems with the app because I have a binary that grants su permission instantly without my interaction. Install SuperSU and set it to always grant permission to get rid of this problem.
Thanks for this! Hope you can make this compatible with cm10.2 as well.
The time has arrived... Let's ROCK!

Well,after a few hours of usage,my impression is too good now my phone is really snappy.. multitasking works better than before.. my only concern is sweep2wake. It works well if the phone is not being idle for so long. But it didnt respond well when the phone is in idle for so long. Other sweep functions works perfect havent tried the battery life though, but till now its good
One suggestion to all: Do a fresh rom install,and then install Badass V2..

It's for TouchWiz only
Hi @civato . Can i flash this kernel on SM-p901 ?? it's the same as SM-P900 and both of them are exynos and the only difference is that SM-P901 has sim card slot and 3G capability ! would you please compare the kernel sources of sm-p900 and sm-p901 and if they are the same , i flash it on my SM-p901 ?? Thanks.

You can always flash it, no harm will be done. However, it might be that some settings of the 3G capability is integrated in the kernel, and you will loose this. There is no verification in the kernel if you flash it on the right device. If there are any issues, just restore your stock rom.

Tip:
Use the Screen option in synapse and enable register hook & the edge enhancement and see a real sharp image.
I just flashed this latest kernel and running great, I have a question about enable register hook and edge enhancement I did this and everything looks dull / washed out is there any other settings under the screen options I need to change?
Awesome work!
Thanks for the kernel! awesome
By the way with the lastest kernel i have still experimenting some lags. Is there a way to disable the synapse tool?
This happend me constantly so ist's a bit uncorfortable when i am writing and the tablet freezec for a moment (3 seconds)
thanks in advance
Keep getting signature errors, and cannot install
Hi, I tried to install this kernel, but keep getting signature errors, and it reverts back to restore.
I wiped cache, and all, and seem to be stuck. Is there any way to make a tar file for odin? I don't have Linux , and changing the extension only corrupts it.
I would like to change the stock kernel on my smp900, as the knox counter tripped with kies, and Samsung voided my warranty for (new tablet :crying: - even sent it in and they didn't reset it, after the had admitted it was a problem)
If you can't make it a tar file for odin, what is best to use to install this?
Thanks

Can you make this kernel specifically for SM-T900? (TabPro12.2 WiFi)
I've flashed this kernel in my T900 because they're almost the same except for the Pen software and feature and every thing worked smooth and excellent but "rotation" breaks down, it doesn't work even on apps so no tilt function. Hope to hear an answer Thanks. It runs so smooth that I want some of the butter for my Behemoth Tablet lol
this should not be labelled as stable. it's the one and only kernel I've used that crashes n sometimes it will reboot while sometimes it needs to be done manually
about 3 to 5x a day on 8 to 10 hours of use a day

SM-T900 uses different hardware for screen rotation, can't make it work with this kernel.

Not having it , your problem not mine. Running 24/7 stable. At 2.1GHz and 677MHz gpu.
so before *****|ng you should probably learn how to logcat and see what is causing your problem.

I have to agree with the previous poster - your experience is not typical. I have installed this kernel every time a new one is released and it gets more and more stable with every release.
You need to look at the tweaks you have made and what apps you have installed.
Asking for help and hints would be far more productive than a hit and run.

Have you considered building this kernel for the P905. Not sure if it is possible without having the specific device on-hand. Regardless, sounds like you have been able to improve performance for the P900 - congratulations on your work. Hope you have Happy Thanksgiving if you participate in turkey day activities.
